It's a White Tomorrow, Team Rocket!

2014-07-09T06:57:09Z

Compass:

{{samename|CD|Sound Picture Box - It's a White Tomorrow! Team Rocket}}
[[File:Sound Picture Box Team Rocket.png|thumb|Cover of the CD release]]
(Japanese: '''白い明日だロケット団''' ''It's a White Tomorrow, Team Rocket!'') is a radio drama written by [[Takeshi Shudō]] and released only in Japan. It is the first and only time that [[Mondo]] appears in the entire series of Pokémon.

The title is derived from the Japanese version of the {{TRT}} {{motto}}. The entire radio drama was released on [[Sound Picture Box - It's a White Tomorrow! Team Rocket|released on CD]] in 1998 with some additional bonus songs.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
The day starts as usual for {{TRT}}. An attempt to capture [[Ash's Pikachu]] results in being blasted off again. As they argue about whose fault it was, [[Mondo]] appears. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} don't seem to know who he is, but deduce that he is a messenger from [[Giovanni|the Boss]]. [[James]] seems to know who he is. It turns out that he is a "Rocket Gang Special Delivery Member Trainee" and he provides them with food and funding for their various activities. Mondo spends a great amount of time gushing about how cool the trio are.

James puts on a film and shows Mondo their first meeting with Pikachu in [[EP002|Viridian City]] and explains why they're after Pikachu. Mondo continues to be impressed with the trio's stories, and Jessie challenges him to a battle, in which her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} defeats his {{p|Ditto}}. Jessie and James ask if he'd like to trade his Ditto, and he agrees, so Jessie and James trade away Meowth, much to Meowth's shock and horror.

After the trade is complete, Jessie and James request that Mondo order a hot-air balloon. After a quick radio transmission, he just pulls one out of his bag. The trio are obviously surprised to Mondo explains that his "sending bag" uses the same technology that keeps Pokémon in their [[Poké Ball]]s. The balloon is still shaped like Meowth, and Mondo promises that the next order of balloons that Team Rocket produces will be Ditto-themed.

The groups separate, and Mondo gives Meowth a massage. Mondo asks if he will become as "great" as Jessie and James and Meowth tells them that he will because of his help, saying that Jessie and James were idiots who brought his abilities down. Meanwhile, Jessie and James plot to have Ditto {{m|transform}} into Pikachu and then give it to the boss. As practice, they have him transform into {{TP|James|Weezing}}. When the transformation is successful, they ask it to transform into Venusaur, but it turns into Bulbasaur instead. James yells at it, asking it to make it {{tt|"perfect"|zubatto}}, so Ditto transforms into {{p|Zubat}}. Another misunderstanding has Ditto transforming into Hitodeman ({{p|Staryu}}) instead of Hitokage ({{p|Charmander}}), and Kabigon ({{p|Snorlax}}) when they asked Ditto if it had {{tt|mold|kabi}} in its brain. As Ditto keeps transforming into random Pokémon, they start to hear the sounds of a {{p|Beedrill}} swarm. When Ditto only continues to transform, not battle, James gets Weezing to send up a smoke signal. Mondo and Meowth notice, but Meowth refuses to go help, saying that Jessie and James always screw up and that he doesn't want to bail them out any longer. Mondo gets in his SUV anyways and speeds off to rescue them, leaving Meowth behind. Meowth continues to lament that he will help no humans.

Jessie returns Ditto to its Poké Ball but it's too late—they are surrounded by Beedrill. They start to run, but they fall into a trap hole that they had dug earlier. Mondo uses a {{p|Tauros}} to ward away the Beedrill while he tries to find a rope to get Jessie and James out of the hole, but ends up falling into the hole himself. The trio trapped in the hole, they lament all their regrets and wonder what the Beedrill plan to do with them.

Suddenly the cries of the Beedrill change and sound a lot more disorganized. Meowth attacks all the Beedrill and Arbok and Weezing are sent up to help. The Beedrill are sent away fleeing. As Jessie and James start to leave, Mondo realizes that he admires the trio because they are a trio, and insists on trading Meowth back for Ditto. The trio reunited, they venture off in a new Meowth balloon, waving farewells to Mondo as they continue on their separate journeys.

==Major events==

At the end of the forest, he met Armaldo, who usually would scare off any intruders. However, while Banette and Skorupi fled, Igglybuff was not afraid of him and Armaldo told him about exploring. Igglybuff then solved the puzzle of Armaldo's map in seconds, despite Armaldo working on its secret for a very long time. Igglybuff then convinced Armaldo to go on an exploration to the dungeon revealed by the map, [[Eastern Cave]].

At the end of [[Eastern Cave]], rather than solving the puzzle, Igglybuff chose to obliterate the door with his WOOM-TAH, impressing Armaldo.

One day, Mama Wigglytuff gave Igglybuff some [[Gummi]]s to share with his friends. Igglybuff ended up also using these Gummis to make friends with the bullies Banette and Skorupi, then went to the [[Murky Forest]] with them.

:"''Might as well at least try your best, hmm?''"
:"''Hmm... Nope. Never bothered to be concerned about anything in my life. Why start now, hmm? And besides...''"
:"''I somehow get the feeling, hmm, that you two can make it through anything together. It's rather reassuring, hmm? Even if it's based on, hmm, absolutely nothing at all.''"

All kinds of different notices will crop up on here, hmm?''"

:"''Hmmm. Well...mmm...I don't really know. Maybe... Maybe because you and <player> are trying hard for something. Whenever I see someone trying their best, I just feel like, hmm, helping them out. I know I'm normally, mmm, pretty relaxed. But watching you and <player> somehow gets me all worked up. Hoho... So, hmm... Let me explain, mmm, how the Request Board works. You see there are all sorts of notes left on the board, hmm? Each is a request. Select a request that you'd like to fulfill for someone and, mmm, tear it right off. Next you'll take that note over to the Request Counter, hmm? Then if you hand the note to Azumarill...''"

::"''Dunsparce! You OK?''"
::"''That's not true! You realized it before it went too far, didn't you? That it's not that easy to get strong. If you hadn't, we would've been way worse off! We might've had to fight those bullies on their own turf instead of here in the open! I'm glas they didn't take you all the way to their hideout. And besides... You fought bravely to the end, without giving in to fear, right? You did good, Dunsparce. I for one think you gave it your all.''"

::"''Whaaaaaat?!''"

=== Villains ===
====Bittercold====
{{main|Bittercold}}
The Bittercold is the main villain in the game. It is not a Pokémon, but rather a form that appears and proceeds to destroy the world. It's appearance was originally caused by the negative emotions of Pokémon, which it feeds off of. The player was called here to defeat the Bittercold, as Pokémon cannot approach the Bittercold without being suffocated by the negativity.

===={{p|Kyurem}}====
{{main|Kyurem (Gates to Infinity)}}
The inhabitant of the Glacier Palace, and the protector of the Bittercold. Kyurem has foreseen the destruction the Bittercold will bring to the Pokémon world, and sees it as his duty to protect that future. He is first encountered during the player's first visit to the Glacier Palace, where he insists that the team leave, and gives them a treasure chest of gifts. After the player defeats Munna and her friends for the first time, he destroys Hydreigon and stomps on the player. He is finally defeated by the player and their partner prior to the final battle against the Bittercold. He then admits that maybe the future can be changed, and that he would like to see the player succeed. He telepathically communicates with the player during the final battle.

===={{p|Munna}}====
{{main|Munna (Gates to Infinity)}}
Munna, along with Hydreigon, first appears in the player's dream prior to coming to the Pokémon world. The player believes they must rescue Munna from Hydreigon, but later discovers that Munna works for Kyurem, and is in fact out to destroy the player. After she and her friends are defeated by the player and their partner, she seems to come around to their way of thinking when she realizes she doesn't want her friends to be destroyed, and saves the player from falling in the Glacier Palace and cheers them on during the final battle with the Bittercold. She appears to be the leader of her friends, as they often refer to her as "Lady Munna".

===={{p|Pawniard|Pawniard Brothers}}====
{{main|Pawniard (Gates to Infinity)}}
They scam Dunsparce with a deal of getting stronger to get Virizion to be his friend. Once he realized this they started to attack him, but the player, and partner appear, and it becomes 3 on 2 until they call their goons and it becomes 6 on 3. Virizion, Emolga, Gurdurr, and The Timburr Bros. appear and they all battle. The Pawniard Brothers lose and flee.

===={{p|Toxicroak}} and {{p|Purugly}}====
Munna's friends and cohorts. They chase Umbreon and Espeon in search of the Entercards. When Umbreon makes it safely to Post Town, they catch Espeon and search her but don't find the Entercards, due to Espeon hiding them with Swadloon. They are then defeated by the hero and partner. It is later revealed that they work with Munna, Kyurem, and the Bittercold. Like Munna, they also change their minds about the world's destruction and cheer on the player during the final battle.

===={{p|Salamence}}====
During the trip to destroy the Bittercold, the player is faced with a battle against Salamence and two {{p|Chandelure}} who are part of Munna's gang. After Salamence is defeated, the three villains fall in defeat. Shortly after, Emolga is attacked by one of the two Chandelure but Espeon appears and knocks it out before it can do any harm. The player's team then uses Entercards to access the Glacier Palace. Salamence is added to the boss list after the player defeats it.

'''Bulbapedia''' is a community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia that is based on the {{wp|wiki}} concept, meaning it may be read and edited by anyone. It is similar in spirit to {{wp|Wikipedia}}, but is focused solely on documenting the Pokémon canon and the fandom surrounding it.

Its name is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of ''[[Bulbagarden]]'', the Pokémon website which runs Bulbapedia, and ''{{wp|encyclopedia}}''. It is affectionately known as ''the 'pedia'' among its contributors. Both Bulbapedia and Bulbagarden get their names from {{p|Bulbasaur}}, notable as the first Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] order.

For a number of reasons, such as a reputation, waiting to add facts until they are confirmed by official sources, and a wide array of information, Bulbapedia can generally be accepted as the most in-depth site within the Pokémon fandom. Images for the website are stored at the [[Bulbagarden Archives]], which also supplies artwork, photographs and screenshots for [[Bulbanews]], an affiliate news site also run by Bulbagarden.

==Development==
Bulbapedia was set up by {{u|Zhen Lin}} on December 21, 2004. The original period of development sought members of the Bulbagarden community to write for "a collaborative and open work environment which makes interacting with other staff and looking up information very simple."<ref>[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=6497 Original announcement]</ref> This proved unsuccessful, but Bulbapedia proceeded with a dozen or so contributors, and reached 100 articles within three weeks. It eventually opened to the public on February 14, 2005, marketed as "Bulbagarden's Valentine's Gift to the Fandom".<ref>[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=6899 Bulbapedia's release notes]</ref> At least 21 new articles were created within the first 24 hours of operations, and within three months 1,000 articles had been written. The 10,000th article was created 3 years later, on June 29, 2008.<ref>[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:About#Milestones Bulbapedia statistics]</ref> Currently, it is the largest English-language Pokémon wiki.

Like every wiki, Bulbapedia's development was dependent on the community, and in the years that passed since its opening, many thousands of users have contributed to its success. In the summer of 2007, when the subject of starting of publishing advertisements on the website to maintain its costs came up, the entire community {{bp|Advertising|was given the right to vote}} on the matter, eventually deciding to agree to the advertising.

==Staff==
{{u|evkl}} was the first Editor-in-Chief of Bulbapedia and remains the Deputy Head of Bulbagarden. During his time as Editor-in-Chief, evkl's primary goal was to build the foundations of Bulbapedia. Although no longer regularly active, evkl still maintains contact to assist the staff when needed. evkl remained the Editor-in-Chief until early 2006, when he made way for Bulbapedia founder {{u|Zhen Lin}} to take the helm.

Zhen Lin has a background in coding and helped the site to perform its abilities on a consistent basis even as the site has grown. He still remains responsible for much of the technical operations of the wiki. Zhen remained Editor-in-Chief until 2008, when {{u|TTEchidna}} took over.

TTEchidna's reign continued to grow and develop Bulbapedia, and he is largely responsible for the bold colored, round-bordered templates that are now associated with Bulbapedia. His influence helped Bulbapedia become one of the most distinctive and recognizable wikis on the net, often being praised for its appearance. On December 1, 2010, TTEchidna resigned and passed the torch to {{u|MAGNEDETH}}.

While in position, MAGNEDETH put a main focus on the user experience, stating "We are here for the fans, so the site should cater to them." There was also a focus on staff organization to make it easier for users to identify moderators that would be best able to answer their questions. On December 9, 2012, MAGNEDETH stepped down and handed the site to {{u|Werdnae}}, appointing him the fifth Editor-in-Chief.

On February 17th, 2014, Werdnae stepped down and chose {{u|Kogoro}} as his successor.

From the early days, Bulbapedia has been overseen by an {{bp|editorial board}} that collaborates on all executive decisions, including the making of {{cat|Bulbapedia policies|Bulbapedia policy}}. There are also many {{bp|administrators}} and other {{bp|staff}} who oversee the day-to-day running of the site. On April 22, 2010, the addition of a "Junior Administrator" position was announced to give accepted users a chance to learn the tasks of a staff member and possibly be accepted onto the staff.

==Content==
[[File:Main Page.png|thumb|right|250px|Bulbapedia's Main Page, in its standard coloration]]
===Articles===
Bulbapedia offers information on every aspect of the Pokémon franchise. {{bp|Projects}} exist for many areas, where editors can work together to grow Bulbapedia. The {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, {{pkmn|games}}, and {{pkmn|manga}} each have their own Project. One of the newest Projects, {{bp|Project Globe}} aims to increase Bulbapedia's international content, an area that was previously scarce. These Projects are run by {{bp|Project Leaders}}, whose job is to manage their Projects and make sure the Projects move forward.

{{bp|Featured articles}} are articles that have been recognized for their high quality and completeness. They can be {{bp|Featured article candidates|voted on and nominated}} by every member of the community.

Until 2012, several articles were featured on the [[Main Page]] of the wiki on a one-day rotation.

===Images===
In the initial stages of Bulbapedia, images were hosted on the same site. Nowadays, they are kept on the [[Bulbagarden Archives]], which allows interaction with [[Bulbanews]] as well. From early 2009, the Bulbagarden Archives has been running off a separate server from Bulbapedia; this has reduced stress on and sped up the site.

The majority of images on Bulbapedia are recognized as "fair use".

==Vandalism==
Due to the interactive and collaborative nature of the site, Bulbapedia is prone to vandalism. This is often quickly seen and reverted by good-faith contributors, but two incidents have stood out in the site's history. '''The Great Bulbapedia Turkey Shoot''' is the first, and was for a long period of time documented for its historicity. The second, more recent spate is unnamed, although it was once jokingly referred to as '''The Great Bulbapedia Turkey Shoot II: Back for Dessert'''.<ref>[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=37837&page=3 Turkey Shoot II]</ref> The Turkey Shoot had its own article on the site for a fairly long period of time, but many people, both general users and staff alike, found the article to be of questionable notability. The {{bp|staff}} of Bulbapedia held a vote in late March of 2012 and decided the article was no longer worth keeping.

:"Things like [that page] give us the small-town feel, but we've almost certainly outgrown it. I'm fine with it being taken down." — {{u|evkl}}
:"It has been decided that although [the] page details a major point in Bulbapedia's history, it glorifies vandalism, which sends the wrong message. We do not tolerate vandalism, nor shall we ever again dedicate a page to showcasing such heinous acts on our site." — {{u|MAGNEDETH}}

Vandalism, of course, is not tolerated on Bulbapedia and accounts performing such actions will be blocked permanently.

==Server issues==
Bulbapedia has encountered numerous server issues over the years. A notable time frame was early 2008 when server issues caused multiple downtimes every week. The servers were upgraded later in the year to handle more, but to combat future issues, the {{bp|userspace policy}} was instituted to encourage less editing of the userspace (userspace edits being considered less constructive while still putting daily stress on the servers). Although disliked by many users of the site, it has had a noticeable effect on the site bringing more mainspace edits.

In mid-2010, server issues cropped up again. The reaction was more swift in the case, bringing upgraded servers, but new issues cropped up resulting in "session data loss" errors and involuntarily log-outs. It was later discovered that the server load balancer had malfunctioned and caused the issues.

Bulbapedia still experiences server issues from time to time, notably more than other sites. These issues have been identified as unfortunate side-effects of its rapid growth and popularity, often finding itself run by servers that can't handle the capacity of people using the site. In recent years, server maintenance is done more frequently as the site grows in popularity, but major game releases have resulted in momentary server outages or slowdown. To combat these issues, the servers may be locked during major news events or big game releases by the staff to ease server stress.

==Relations with other sites==
Bulbapedia is a founding member of the [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], a multi-lingual group of wikis documenting all aspects of Pokémon. As a part of Bulbagarden, it is also considered an affiliate site with all Bulbagarden affiliates.

Bulbapedia also co-founded the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]]. This network comprises fan-run wikis from seventeen Nintendo franchises.

Relations with [[The Pokémon Wiki]], of Wikia, have not been as promising. This is to no fault of the Wikia administration, but due to Wikian contributors misunderstanding the various clauses of Bulbapedia's Creative Commons license, which prohibits commercial use of Bulbapedia information, and the redistribution of it. This has been a problem with other sites who wish to profit off of Bulbapedia's volunteer staff, such as the [[n:Apple iPhone Application infringes on Bulbapedia license|makers of one iPhone application]]. An attempt was made by Wikia early in Bulbapedia history that would have seen Bulbapedia become part of the Wikia enterprise. It was, clearly, unsuccessful. Since then, Wikia has made a number of offers for Bulbagarden, most recently in April 2010. All of them have been rejected in a rather emphatic fashion.

==Future==
As a wiki, Bulbapedia is always growing, expanding, and [[Evolution|evolving]]. Despite the thousands of articles and hundreds of new users each week, it still remains incomplete; but as the nature of any wiki, anyone and everyone is welcome to help contribute to the site. With a constant stream of new Pokémon {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|trading card]]s, {{pkmn|manga}}, {{pkmn|merchandise}}, and more being released every month (not to mention the ever-expanding fandom), Bulbapedia's job will never be done as it continues to be the #1 Pokémon wiki in the world.

Hot Spring

2014-07-09T06:38:25Z

Compass:

{{search|location in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|the location in [[Lavaridge Town]]|Lavaridge Town#Hot Springs}}

[[File:Hot spring.png|thumb|256px|Hot Spring]]

The '''Hot Spring''' is an area in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. It does not seem to serve any real purpose once the player has completed story mode. The Pokémon the {{player}} finds there are all NPCs. {{mdc|Torkoal|2}}, the town elder, is the only Pokémon of any importance, as he plays a minor part in the story mode. Also, once the player completes story mode and the hot spring is accessible by the east crossroad that leads to the dungeons, there is no purpose to the place. Almost nothing happens, and the NPCs say nothing of importance.

==How to visit==
Once the player succeeds in defeating [[Waterfall Cave]], the player Pokémon and the partner will be directed here as this is the end area of Waterfall Cave.

[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|A third installment]] was developed by [[Chunsoft]] and was released on April 18, 2009 in Japan.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with a cut-scene where the {{player}} is to have been unconscious on a beach due to a time-traveling accident, causing him/her to become a Pokémon. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. The [[Relic Fragment]] the partner holds is then stolen by Zubat and Koffing, members of [[Team Skull]], which the player helps recover. After a brief exchange, the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild. The player's partner loves legend and lore and their life dream is to find the secret of their personal treasure-a Relic Fragment with a strange pattern on it. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, joins the Guild as a new team with the player.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}}, the kindhearted Guild Leader, {{mdc|Chatot|2}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{p|Bidoof}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, the Guild chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{mdc|Loudred|2}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.

The player discovers not too long after that he/she has the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, but only when touching an object of some kind. This is known as the [[Dimensional Scream]], as revealed later by {{p|Dusknoir}}.

===The legend of the Time Gears===
One stormy night, the partner finds the player and tells the player that they have been transformed. A Zubat and Koffing come and steal the partner's special item. The player helps get it back and they form an exploration team. They go to Wigglytuff's Guild to register their team. They go to sleep and the next morning, they are awoken by extremely loud yelling. It was Loudred, a local apprentice. The team does their first job that day and it ended as a success. That night, the partner tells the player the story of the [[Time Gear]]s, the artifacts that all Pokémon are to avoid less time stand still. When a Time Gear is stolen, time in that area is frozen. Despite this, a mysterious thief is stealing the Time Gears, of which nobody knows about until sooner later.

One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild and Team Skull (as special guests), make an expedition to a location called [[Fogbound Lake]], a lake seemingly covered in fog. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. At the top, they find and defeat {{p|Groudon}} to find out that it was only an illusion made by the [[Lake guardians|Lake Guardian]], {{mdc|Uxie|2}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}, who explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the [[Dimensional Scream]]. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of {{mdc|Grovyle|2}}. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the Northern Desert, which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, which the team defeats. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.

Back at the guild, the failure of the team to stop Grovyle meant that there are no leads to his next location. However, Dusknoir determines that, as Uxie is the being of knowledge, and Mesprit is the being of emotion, thus {{p|Azelf}}, the being of willpower, is likely to be guarding another Time Gear. Dusknoir further explains that as Uxie and Mesprit were encountered in lakes, Azelf is also likely to be found in a lake area. Hoping to find a lead, Dusknoir asks the player to touch a treasure that Bidoof took with him at [[Crystal Cave]], in order to trigger a Dimensional Scream. Indeed, after touching it, the player sees a vision where Azelf is defeated at the hands of Grovyle. However, Chimecho is unsure—because the Dimensional Scream cannot tell the difference between past and future, Grovyle may have already made off with the Time Gear. Dusknoir remains confident that it is of the future, as the partner had never heard Azelf's name before Dusknoir had mentioned it. Because there is a chance that the Dimensional Scream is describing the future, the Guild decides to have all hands search the cave. The team arrives at the lake in the middle of the cave, where they find Azelf about to be defeated by Grovyle. However, just as Grovyle is about to steal the Time Gear, Azelf activates a fail-safe trap. The trap covers the lake in crystals, preventing Grovyle from submerging underwater and reaching the Time Gear. This does not deter Grovyle, and the team is knocked unconscious and the partner is badly wounded. Before Grovyle can finish the partner off, Dusknoir appears. The team discovers that Dusknoir and Grovyle have been long acquainted, but before they can delve any further, Grovyle makes his getaway, and Dusknoir chases after the Pokémon. Just then, the Guild finds the team, and cart them back to the guild.

Some time later, the team reawakens back at the guild. The partner recalls the exchange between Dusknoir and Grovyle, and the information is shared with the Guild and Azelf. Just then, the Guild's emergency alarm sounds, requiring everyone to be in attendance at a town meeting. In town, they find Dusknoir, who reminds everyone that Grovyle is still at large. Dusknoir further claims that Grovyle is a Pokémon from the future—there, Grovyle was a criminal, who fled to the past to avoid being captured. He plots to steal the Time Gears, which in turn would freeze the world in time, thus causing the planet's paralysis. Water would not flow, the sun would not rise, the seasons would not change, and darkness would cover the world. When {{p|Corphish}} is curious as to why Dusknoir knows all of this, Dusknoir reveals that he, too, is from the future, sent back in time to capture Grovyle and bring him to justice. The Guild and townsfolk all agree to help Dusknoir stop Grovyle. Azelf has a plan to trap Grovyle—as the Time Gear in Crystal Lake still remains, they are certain that Grovyle will return for it. In order to lure Grovyle, the townsfolk spread a false rumor that the lake trio will try to seal the Time Gear away permanently, while the trio will be defending the Time Gear, awaiting the moment to make the jump on Grovyle. Although everyone wants to help, Dusknoir insists on doing so alone as to avoid suspicion.

A few days later, a report from Magnezone arrives, indicating that Grovyle has been captured, and that Dusknoir plans to take Grovyle back to the future to face justice. To do so, Dusknoir has opened a Dimensional Hole in the middle of town square. In town, the townsfolk find the Dimensional Hole, but no sign of Dusknoir. As the lake trio explain to the partner that the Time Gears were recovered and were returned, Dusknoir appears with Grovyle and two {{p|Sableye}}. As Grovyle is carted off into the Dimensional Hole, Dusknoir gives his farewell. But before he steps through the portal, he asks the player's team to step forward. When they step next to the portal, the partner explains a sad farewell, but then, Dusknoir suddenly grabs the team and drags them into the portal. Before the townsfolk can give chase, the Dimensional Hole closes and disappears suddenly.

===Escape from the future===
The player is woken up by the partner, who reveals that they have been locked in a cell. Just then, they encounter some guards—a group of {{p|Sableye}}. Six Sableye blindfold them and take them to another room, where they find themselves bound to a pole, awaiting execution. Along with the two is Grovyle, also tied up. Dusknoir appears, giving the orders to the Sableye to execute the three. Grovyle convinces the team to cooperate - while the Sableye to attack the ropes that tie them to the stake, there is a slight chance of breaking the ropes, and it may allow the three to escape. Fortunately, the ropes break free, and the three overwhelm the Sableye. This allows Grovyle to use a [[Luminous Orb]], and take the team to safety. Back outside, Grovyle reveals that they are indeed in the future, but despite the lake trio returning the Time Gears back to their original places, the planet has been paralyzed.

Continuing to elude the Sableye, the partner loses confidence on whether they will ever return home. The player then proposes to the partner to catch up to the Grovyle, and ask how he had traveled back to the past in the first place. They eventually catch up to Grovyle, and save him from the {{p|Spiritomb}} who had knocked him out earlier. Though Grovyle is reluctant to help them (because the partner still does not trust him), he proceeds to tell his side of the story. The world's paralysis dated back to the present day, with the collapse of the Temporal Tower, governed by {{mdc|Dialga|2}}, the legendary Pokémon that controls time. When the tower collapsed, Dialga lost control of time, and it too lost all control. Dialga turned berserk, becoming [[Primal Dialga]]. Seeking only self-preservation, Primal Dialga tried to prevent history from changing, and hence its need to exterminate Grovyle and the team. The partner is visibly shocked by this revelation—and even more so when Grovyle reveals that he collected the Time Gears to prevent the tower from collapsing. Grovyle continues, claiming that the time stop caused by the removal of the Time Gears is merely temporary—the area affected would return to normal once the gears were placed in Temporal Tower. Grovyle then further revealed that Dusknoir is an agent of Primal Dialga sent to stop him and the team, and had everyone in the past played for fools.

Though the partner does not believe Grovyle, the player believes that Grovyle's assertions are reasonable, and that the partner cannot seem to accept the truth. The partner even thought of going back to the stockade and ask Dusknoir to reveal the truth. Grovyle leaves to find {{mdc|Celebi|2}}, the time-traveling Pokémon, to start his mission anew. Although the player is determined to follow Grovyle, the partner is more reluctant. Nevertheless, the partner agrees to follow, if only to find a way to return to the present. The group eventually manages to find Celebi, who replied that the player is Grovyle's friend. However, Grovyle didn't hear what Celebi said, and before the team can react, Grovyle reminds the team to get a move on. Celebi leads the group to the Passage of Time—a secret corridor spanning multiple dimensions. However, before they can go through the passage, they are stopped by Dusknoir and the Sableye, who had caught up to them. Surrounded, the group has no choice but to overpower Dusknoir and the Sableye. However, when Primal Dialga appears, Grovyle, believing that they are outmatched, has no choice but to surrender. He contends that at least hope will remain, for he had not time traveled alone before. When he first traveled back to the past, he and his human partner had been separated. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise, and forces Grovyle to tell the name of his partner - the player. The partner is surprised at this revelation—and Grovyle and Celebi are even more surprised that the player is standing with them. Grovyle refuses to believe that the player has been turned into a Pokémon, but Dusknoir had planned to eliminate the player and Grovyle, and had merely befriended the team and the Guild so as to destroy them all in one shot.

The partner is shocked by the revelation, partly because at one point they had idolized Dusknoir, and partly from sticking with the player. The partner has a plan to elude Dusknoir and his underlings—all that is needed is to have Celebi teleport them closer to the Passage. Although Celebi recognizes that Dialga could detect them, Celebi agrees to the partner's idea. They fail to escape Dusknoir, but they get to the Passage. Celebi implores the rest of the group to leave through the Passage, leaving Dusknoir to herself. It is believed that Celebi managed to elude capture as the group returned back to the present.

===Racing the clock===
Arriving back to the present, the partner explains that the beach that they are on was where the player was first found. However, before the partner can lead Grovyle back to the Guild to plan their next move, he reminds them that in the present time, Grovyle is a criminal. The partner, seeing the complications this may cause, instead takes the player and Grovyle to a cliff known as [[Sharpedo Bluff]] (named as the cliff is in the shape of a {{p|Sharpedo}}), which was the home of the partner prior to joining the Guild. That night, Grovyle explains to the partner the common history between himself and the player. The player and Grovyle had been a formidable team investigating the planet's paralysis. The player had the ability to perform the Dimensional Scream, but only in the presence of a trusted partner. Grovyle further explains that the Dimensional Scream is set off by triggers tied to places where Time Gears were hidden. The partner realizes that the player had a lot of trust in them, largely due to having witnessed the Dimensional Scream. However, the partner also realizes that perhaps Dimensional Screams had worked differently in the past, as the player had experienced them in incidents unrelated to Time Gears. In any event, the three quickly agree to plot a new plan to take the Time Gears.
Later, the partner shares their story of the Relic Fragment with Grovyle. Grovyle and the partner agree that the player has a connection to the both of them - the player had made each of them stronger. The trio redoubles their efforts to retake the Time Gears, starting with the one in Treeshroud Forest, where Grovyle had found the one unguarded. However, after arriving there, they find that, despite the presence of the Time Gear, time has stopped—a sign that [[Temporal Tower]] is already starting to collapse.

That night, back at Sharpedo Bluff, the partner reveals, after a fact-finding mission, that time in other places is also stopped, despite the return of the Time Gears. It appears that the only way to restore time is to take the Time Gears to Temporal Tower. This is easier said than done, though; the Tower is located in the [[Hidden Land]], and no one knows where the Hidden Land is. Desperate, and running out of options and time, the player convinces the partner to return back to the Guild. The Guild is surprised to find that the team has returned, but is more surprised when the team reveals their story. The Guild, though shocked at the revelations brought forth by the team, agrees to help retrieve the Time Gears, and tells the lake trio to allow Grovyle to reclaim the ones they guard. The team is recommended by Wigglytuff to see {{mdc|Torkoal|2}}, the town elder, for advice on finding the Hidden Land. At the hot springs, Torkoal reveals that the Hidden Land is a place beyond the oceans, but also a place which only appears to those with sufficient "proof". However, Torkoal does not recall what is needed for such "proof". The next day, however, Torkoal arrives at the Guild Hall with one new recollection—the "proof" is an inscription of a certain pattern—the same pattern found in the Relic Fragment. What is more surprising is that Wigglytuff and Chatot have also seen the same pattern—found in a distant place called [[Brine Cave]], where bandits had scared the two in an earlier adventure. Nevertheless, the Guild decides to make an expedition to Brine Cave. Meanwhile, the team hears word that Grovyle has taken all the Time Gears, but warns that Dusknoir may also return from the future to hunt them down.

The next day, The Guild (without Wigglytuff) arrives at Brine Cave, where they split up to reach the innermost part, with Chatot following the team. However, partway into the cave, they are ambushed by Team Skull, who steal the Relic Fragment. Though Chatot gives chase and manages to catch them, by the time the team manages to catch up, they find both Team Skull and Chatot severely wounded, due to themselves having been ambushed by two {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After dispatching them, the team tend to Chatot. Just then, Wigglytuff and Grovyle arrive, with the rest of the Guild in tow. Wigglytuff is particularly concerned, as Chatot had been severely injured by the Omastar and Kabutops protecting Wigglytuff in their last trip to Brine Cave. Urging the team and Grovyle to continue, the Guild return home to tend to Chatot's wounds. Further in, the team discovers a rock wall pointing out to sea, on which is a wall pattern similar to the one found on the Relic Fragment. When the Relic Fragment is presented, a light shines out towards the sea. Just then, a {{mdc|Lapras|2}} arrives. At the same time, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff explains to the Guild the story of how he and Chatot had previously encountered the pattern on the Relic Fragment: Chatot had been injured by Omastar and Kabutops while protecting Wigglytuff. Though Wigglytuff had fended off the Omastar and Kabutops, he had felt helpless because he could not help Chatot. Just then, Lapras had appeared to help Chatot, on the condition that they not explore the wall pattern further. Back with the team, Lapras, while ferrying the team and Grovyle, explains that she is the gatekeeper to the Hidden Land, a land that exists in a different dimension—within a moment of time. The Hidden Land is as such because Dialga had feared that interference by exploration teams or bad Pokémon could affect the flow of time. Dialga had, however, left one key to entering the Hidden Land, within the Relic Fragment. Wigglytuff had known this, and had realized that the promise to Lapras could not be kept in the interests of saving the world, and thus had set off towards Brine Cave ahead of the Guild to find Lapras. Lapras explained to Wigglytuff then that the Relic Fragment chooses who may visit the Hidden Land, and it had chosen the partner due to the partner's purity of heart. Now, it lies upon the team to explore the land and save the world.

===Saving the world===
Arriving at the [[Hidden Land]], Lapras tells them that in order to reach the Temporal Tower, they must take the Rainbow Stoneship, located inside an old ruin. Finding the ruin, the partner is astounded at what they can find—pictures of legendary Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Dialga}}, and {{p|Palkia}} engraved on the wall. Proceeding further, they find a temple where, at the top, they find the Ruin Fragment pattern. The team discovers that the temple itself is the Rainbow Stoneship, and in order for the ship to operate, the Relic Fragment must be slotted in one of the indentations. But before the partner can do so, they are captured by Dusknoir and the Sableye entourage. Dusknoir takes their captives to a nearby Dimensional Hole, but before the team can be put through it, they overwhelm the Sableye, prompting Dusknoir to fight back. The team is able to defeat Dusknoir in battle, but while the partner goes to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, Dusknoir warns that should they succeed in their quest, the Pokémon of the future, including the player and Grovyle, will be erased from existence, because they are from a future that will no longer exist. Grovyle admits that this is the case, but that their sacrifice is worth the trouble if it means that the future can be saved. The player accepts this fate, even though the player knows that the partner will not take it as easily as the player or Grovyle.

Meanwhile, the partner succeeds in activating the Rainbow Stoneship, but Dusknoir manages to recover and attack the player before either the player or Grovyle is on board. Just as Dusknoir tries to finish off the player, Grovyle intervenes. In a move of desperation, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir towards the Dimensional Hole, hoping that in his own sacrifice, Grovyle will erase Dusknoir from existence. Dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir and himself through the Dimensional Hole, but not without giving his last goodbye. The partner recovers the Time Gears, and the team proceed on the Rainbow Stoneship, with the player keeping silent to the partner about his/her fate. With a heavy heart, the team head towards Temporal Tower to take on their final mission.

Arriving at the top of Temporal Tower as the tower itself is collapsing, they find a mystical relic with five indentations. Before the partner slots in the Time Gears into the indentations, the team is attacked by none other than Primal Dialga, having just gone berserk. Realizing that there is no reasoning with Primal Dialga, the team prepare to battle it out to the end. After a long battle, Primal Dialga is defeated, and the partner takes the opportunity to install the Time Gears. The earthquakes destroying the tower eventually stop, and Dialga is restored back to normal. Dialga quickly uses its powers to restore the world back to normal, though Temporal Tower remains heavily damaged. Dialga explains that the world's paralysis has been prevented with the installation of the Time Gears, and that peace has been restored. Dialga says its thanks to the team, but also warns that the world can only be back to normal in time. Dialga shows the team out of the Temporal Tower, where the Rainbow Stoneship and Lapras are awaiting them for their ride home.

On the way back, the player feels the effects of being slowly erased from existence. The partner notices this, and wonders what is wrong. The player says his/her goodbyes, regretting that the partner was kept in the dark on the player's situation. The player slowly fades out of existence as the partner makes their tearful goodbye. The partner returns home, crying, but knowing that the player has made the partner stronger. Back home, the partner tells the townsfolk and the guild everything—how they had traveled across the [[Hidden Land]], how Grovyle and the player had sacrificed themselves, and how they had saved the world.

Months have passed since the incident. The damages from time have slowly been healed, and life has returned to normal for most... but not for the partner, still mourning over the player's disappearance. At the beach, the partner is taking a walk, when the partner is reminded of the player and their adventures together, and how now the player is gone—erased from existence. The partner collapses on the beach out of extreme sadness, and starts crying. The end credits roll at this point.

After the credits, Dialga feels the partner's great sorrow in the distance. Using its powers, Dialga brings the player back to life, as thanks for bringing it back in control. The player reappears at the beach, where the partner and Bidoof are crying, overjoyed to find the player alive.

===Post-game story===
As with previous games, there is a post-credits story. Several months after the player was brought back, {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} decides that the player's team is ready for an exam to qualify for graduation from the Guild (apparently only accepting one team per year). They are told to go find the treasure found in [[Luminous Spring]], a place where Pokémon used to go to evolve, but are also warned to avoid the "grand master of all things bad" who lives there with his minions. Although {{p|Loudred}} is not allowed to speak of the test, having taken it the year before, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Teddiursa}}, two Treasure Town locals, claim of going to the springs before and meeting no such "Grand Master". Upon reaching the spring, the team run into Ursaring and Teddiursa and conclude that the "Grand Master" does not exist before falling into the lair of the "Grand Master", who turns out to be none other than Wigglytuff and the guild members (revealed by a slip up by {{mdc|Bidoof|2}}, who continues to deny it till the end). After defeating the whole guild, the team continues their journey with Ursaring and Teddiursa. They find that the treasure is actually a {{DL|Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Perfect Apple}} left in a chest by Wigglytuff himself (through the help of the player's [[Dimensional Scream]]). They also find the Luminous Spring to be able to evolve Pokémon again, as Teddiursa evolves into an Ursaring after she steps into the spring and made her choice to evolve. The team, however, is told by the voice of the spring that they couldn't evolve yet, due to time being distorted. Later, they return the treasure to the guild and graduate, finding that the only benefit is that they can explore on their own and change the group leader, but they still have to give most of their reward money to the guild. Having graduated, the team moves their headquarters to Sharpedo Bluff.

Then, {{p|Mr. Mime}} appears in Treasure Town stating the famous explorer {{p|Scizor}} has been missing in a place called the [[Blizzard Island]]. The team pays a visit and finds Scizor frozen solid by {{p|Froslass}}. After they rescue Scizor, Scizor gives the team the "[[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Secret Rank]]" which the team and everyone else knows nothing about. This rank is used for the 7 dungeons home to the great [[Seven Treasures]].

One day, the player finds Corphish at the Guild's intersection, saying to go talk to {{mdc|Sunflora|2}} about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a land that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the [[Surrounded Sea]], supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a {{pkmn|Egg|Wonder Egg}}, along with a warp tile that will get the player out of the dungeon. The next morning, the Egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team wakes and finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chatot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow up in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in [[Miracle Sea]]. At the end of the dungeon, there are six {{p|Phione}}, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking {{p|Gyarados}}. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured and with a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.

After the player saves Manaphy and after a couple of days of plain jobs, [[Team Charm]] pays a visit to the Guild. Team Charm consists of {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Gardevoir}}. This trio is legendary for their rank, which is the Master Rank, and for their style of treasure hunting. A former member, surprisingly, is Wigglytuff. Team Charm came because they're stuck on a hunt for treasure because they don't have a key. They ask Wigglytuff and Wigglytuff "claims" that he doesn't have it. But just before everyone thinks Team Charm will leave, Lopunny gives Wigglytuff a Perfect Apple and Wigglytuff finds the key with a big bang from his room. When Team Charm is leaving, everyone asks if they can go to the [[Aegis Cave]], including the player's team. Lopunny, the leader of Team Charm, agrees and says everyone can go after they open Aegis Cave with the key. The treasure of Aegis Cave is guarded by three legendary beings, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. After defeating them, Team Charm assists the player in fighting {{p|Regigigas}}.

Later, {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their continued existence is causing a distortion in space. On the night before going to {{mdc|Palkia|2}} for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to its domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. Darkrai (still disguised as Cresselia) tries to finish off the team using Palkia, but it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of Darkrai, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia thinks it is a trap, because normally Darkrai run away when found, doing its work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans, by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible for everything right from the beginning, from the collapse of Temporal Tower to the player's very own transformation and memory loss. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. The player's partner decides that it's useless to resist, so he/she decides to join Darkrai, but it's not real. The player realizes this is just another illusion, and breaks free of it. With the partner back on the player's side, the team battles Darkrai and his minions and wins hopefully. Darkrai attempts to flee through a portal, but Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on him. But instead of destroying him, he attacks the Dimensional Hole, thus erasing Darkrai's memories, much like what happened to the player. Darkrai has no more memory of his evil ambitions for good, and wanders the Pokémon world; his location is at that point unknown.

==Wonder Mail exclusives==
Like the previous [[Mystery Dungeon]] games, some dungeons are unlocked through [[Wonder Mail]] codes. However, unlike those in the previous game, the bosses (listed below) are obtained through these codes. There is no reward, other than the treasure, for the Guardians of the [[Seven Treasures]]. They are all top-secret and self-deleting. {{p|Gabite}}'s is more like a normal Wonder Mail mission. To take any of these missions players must have gained Secret Rank, excluding the mission involving Gabite.

==Version-exclusive items==
There are also certain items that are only available in certain versions.

===Exclusive to Time===
* {{DL|Seed|Vile Seed}} — Reduces Defense and Special Defense when eaten.
* {{DL|Wonder Orb|Foe-Hold Orb}} — An item that afflicts all enemies on the floor with the Petrified status condition.
* {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Sun Ribbon}} — An item that is used for Pokémon that usually evolve in the daytime.

===Exclusive to Darkness===
* {{DL|Seed|Violent Seed}} — Boosts Attack and Special Attack stats when eaten.
* {{DL|Wonder Orb|Foe-Seal Orb}} — An item that afflicts all enemies in the room with a Paused status condition.
* {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Lunar Ribbon}} — An Item used for Pokémon that usually evolve at nighttime.

==Dungeon Tips==
* If the player remains on one floor of a dungeon for too long, this will happen:
** It will say "Something is stirring".
** It will say "Something is approaching".
** It will say "It's coming closer."
** It will say "It's right near! It's gusting hard!" Then the player's character will faint and be kicked out of the dungeon, suffering the same conditions as if they were defeated (see below), and cannot be prevented in any way (even if they have Reviver Seeds in their toolbox) other than proceeding to the next floor before it happens. The amount of turns the player can stay on one floor before this happens varies depending on the dungeon.
* Pokémon with the Float terrain Ability who try to cross magma will get burned (unless they have the "All-Terrain Hiker" IQ skill or are also {{type|Fire}}), but for {{t|Water}} type and the lake parts, it will be able to cross.
* Fully evolved Pokémon can be recruited in the game. However, they will have lower recruit rates.
* If the player or their partner is defeated in a dungeon before the post-game story, the team exits the dungeon and all of the player's money and some of the player's items are lost.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}

==Trivia==
* Unlike the previous Mystery Dungeon games, which only had a few characters with confirmed genders, this game provides a gender for most of the characters. Even Legendary Pokémon, who are usually genderless in the main series games, have a gender in this game.
* Spatial Rift and Temporal Tower are based off of Dialga and Palkia, respectively named, "The Temporal Pokémon," and, "The Spatial Pokémon."

'''Props''' are a type of item introduced in [[Generation V]] which are used in the [[Pokémon Musical]]. They are stored in the {{key|V|Prop Case}}. They are the equivalent of [[Accessory|Accessories]], but are limited in placement. The highest number of Props that can be worn is eight. Depending on the type of Pokémon participating, it may not reach this maximum, since not all Pokémon have hands, or accessible waists or necks, etc.

At the beginning of the Musical, the Pokémon are dressed up. If the chosen Props' traits fits the song, more points are awarded. What is held is vital for the Musical, as these Props can be waved around for appeal; however, each Prop may only be waved around once.

In Black and White, obtaining all 100 Props is a requirement for gaining a [[Trainer stars|Trainer star]]. In Black 2 and White 2 collecting all the Props is necessary for the [[List of Medals in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Trendsetter Medal]].

[[Memory Link]] allows the player of Black 2 or White 2 to receive all the Props gained by the player of Black or White. This can only be done once.

==Obtaining==
After a performance has ended, the player may talk to the audience members gathered outside the reception area to receive Props. The better the performance, the more people will be waiting in the lobby. Depending on the crowd's reception of the Pokémon's performance, they may give the player more Props for future use. Some Props are given out only by certain Musical categories.

Some Props cannot be obtained by performing in the Musical alone and are gifted through conditions.
*'''Crown''': from the theater owner after winning 5 (doesn't have to be consecutive) Musicals.
*'''Winner's Belt''': from the theater owner after winning 10 (doesn't have to be consecutive) Musicals.
*'''Tiara''': from the theater owner, after participating in a Musical with a friend.
*'''Toy Cake''': from the theater owner, on the player's [[birthday]].
*'''Electric Guitar''': from {{tc|Musician}} Preston on {{rt|5|unova}}, after defeating him.
*'''Scarlet Hat''', '''Big Bag''', '''Fluffy Beard''', '''Gift Box''': from an elderly gentleman (a Musical fanatic) inside a house in western [[Opelucid City]] (only one chosen daily).

Each type has three properties: which types of Pokémon it is super effective against, which types of Pokémon it is not very effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against. There are 18 types, each of which is listed to the right. During [[Generation I]], types were occasionally referred to as '''elements'''.

A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, {{p|Charmander}} is a {{t|Fire}} type, while {{p|Bulbasaur}} is both a {{t|Grass}} type and a {{t|Poison}} type. With the current 18-type system, there are 324 possible ways to assign types to Pokémon and 171 unique combinations of types. As of [[Generation VI]], 130 different type combinations have been used. [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] can also have types.

All moves have only one assigned type. However, the moves {{m|Flying Press}} and {{m|Freeze-Dry}} have custom interactions with defending types that do not strictly match their assigned types.

Within the {{pkmn|anime}} and the games, most [[Gym Leader]]s and members of the [[Elite Four]] are designed to have a [[Type specialist|type-specific theme]].

==Type effectiveness==
{{main|Type chart}}
If the type of a move used by a Pokémon is strong against the opponent's type, then the damage done is twice the normal amount. However, if a move's type is not very effective against the opponent's type, the damage done is half the normal amount.

For Pokémon that have two types, the overall damage is calculated against both types combined. This means that if a move's type is strong against both of the opponent's types (such as {{m|Dig}}, a {{type|Ground}} move, used against an {{p|Aggron}}, a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon), then the move does 4 times the damage. On the other hand, if a move's type is weak against both of the opponent's types (such as {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}, a {{type|Fighting}} move, used against a {{p|Sigilyph}}, a {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move does ¼ of the damage. Similarly, if the move is strong against one of the opponent's types but weak against the other (such as {{m|Razor Leaf}}, a {{type|Grass}} move, used against a {{p|Gyarados}}, a {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon), the move deals normal damage.

If a move's type is completely ineffective due to one of the opponent's types, then the move does zero damage, even if the opponent has a second type that would be vulnerable to it (as in {{m|Thunderbolt}}, an {{type|Electric}} move, used against a {{p|Quagsire}}, a {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon). Otherwise, before Generation V, a move will always do at least one [[HP]] of damage. In Generation V, it became possible to deal zero damage since certain damage modifiers (such as {{m|Reflect}}) are applied after the damage is ensured to be at least 1.

==Type-affected game mechanics==
All games before [[Generation IV]] also made [[damage category|a distinction]] between [[Physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s based on their type. From Generation IV onward, this is dictated by the move itself.

When the type of an attack corresponds with one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This type advantage is referred to as [[same-type attack bonus]], or STAB for short. A good example is an {{p|Aron}} that knows {{m|Metal Claw}} and {{m|Cut}}. Both attacks are physical attacks and both have a base power of 50. However because Aron is a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon, the power of its Metal Claw move will effectively be 75.

Some [[weather conditions]], [[Ability|Abilities]], and [[held item]]s affect moves of a certain type. {{m|Sunny Day}}, for example, causes {{type|Fire}} moves to increase in power, while {{a|Levitate}} causes {{type|Ground}} moves to not work on the Pokémon with this Ability. Likewise, each type has a [[Type-enhancing item|specific item]] that can be given to a Pokémon to hold that will power up one of the specific types, such as the [[Metal Coat]], which powers up {{type|Steel}} moves by 20% (10% prior to Generation IV).

Some moves can change the Type of a Pokémon. For example, {{m|Camouflage}} changes the Pokémon's type to a type corresponding to the battlefield terrain. A full list of these moves can be seen at {{cat|Moves that change a Pokémon's type}}. Abilities can also change the Type of a Pokémon. So far only {{a|Color Change}} and {{a|Multitype}} have been revealed to do so.

==??? type==
{{main|??? (type)}}
The ??? type is the only type to have been removed from the [[core series]] games. The ??? type only existed from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation IV]], and was primarily used as the type of the move {{m|Curse}}. It was removed in [[Generation V]], and Curse became a {{type|Ghost}} move.

==Shadow==
While not generally regarded as a type, [[Shadow move]]s have their type listed as "------". [[Shadow Pokémon]] can be considered to be of this type, but they still retain their regular typing as well. In {{Pokémon XD}}, Shadow moves are not very effective against Shadow Pokémon and super effective against non-Shadow Pokémon.

==Glitch types==
{{main|List of glitch types}}
There are several glitch types, such as the {{t|Bird}} type, which only appear through the use of glitches. Other than the Bird type, glitch types are the result of the game reading other data as if it were types. The Bird type was programmed into the code of the Generation I and II games, but was not given to any real Pokémon; however, several [[glitch Pokémon]] use this type.

'''Smile''' (Japanese: '''スマイル''' lit. ''Sumairu'') is the third ending theme song of the Japanese [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] [[Pokémon anime]] series, the 16th ending overall, and the first ending track that was not composed by [[Hirokazu Tanaka]].

It debuted in [[AG052]], and a second cut with different lyrics debuted in [[AG062]]. It was replaced by ''[[Full of Summer!!]]'' in [[AG083]], but the second cut was used afterwards from [[AG092]] to [[AG098]].

''Smile'' is notable in that it was the first ending sequence to be updated whenever one of the main characters caught or evolved one of their Pokémon. Updating opening and ending sequences with team changes is now standard practice in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

Unable to hold them back, are shining

The unrestrained wind that moves your heart

It's important to try hard, but
If your strength only exists
To hide your honest weakness,
You're better off without it.

Even if you can't see it now,
It is certainly there in your heart:
The strength to keep believing in something
Awaits your smile.

All people wander through today,
Little travelers
Sometimes getting lost, sometimes straying
As they search for tomorrow

Escape from being hurt,
Even if you can't move today
There's nothing to lose,
Surely

Because we are standing
At the beginning of tomorrow

A step so small, yet important
Will depict your future
Grab hold of something
Your own dirty hands are your medal

Even if you can't see it now
It is certainly there in your heart:
The strength to keep believing in something
Awaits your smile''</ab>

'''Barry''' (Japanese: '''ジュン''' ''Jun'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]] whose debut appearance was in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]''. He was {{Ash}}'s minor rival in Sinnoh.

==History==

Barry made his debut appearance in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', where he was intended to challenge [[Fantina]] for a Gym battle, but coming up with Ash at the door of the Gym.
He then challenged Ash to a battle to prove his training methods wrong, but Ash came out the victor.

[[File:Barry Straw Hat.png|right|thumb|250px|Barry at the beginning of his Journey]]
After Ash defeated him, Barry stayed to watch Ash challenge Fantina in ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist!]]''. At times, Barry was skeptical about Ash's strategy in the battle, but by the end of the fight, he realized that his techniques were excellent. He later stated that he would be his rival if Ash could defeat [[Byron]], whom Barry had previously beaten.
[[File:Barry and Palmer.png|left|thumb|250px|Barry and Palmer]]
After staying with the group for [[DP103|the following episode]], he departed to train at [[Iron Island]], but appeared again in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' and ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'' at [[Iron Island]], where after being caught up in [[Team Galactic]]'s plot to use the island as a radar to scan for the [[Spear Pillar]] he and Ash put aside most of their differences and became friendly rivals. He also appeared in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'' where he wanted to enter the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]], which he later loses in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''. It is also revealed that he is good friends with Dawn's rival, {{si|Kenny}}. He also appeared in ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'' watching Dawn and Kenny participate in the {{pkmn|Contest}} held in [[Sandalstraw Town]].

Barry appeared again in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' where he then decided to have a battle with Ash, which was soon interrupted. He bumps into his father, {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} at the end of the episode. In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', he entered the Battle Tournament as part of the [[Twinleaf Festival]] in the hope that he would get to battle Palmer, but soon lost to Ash.
[[File:DP101.png|right|thumb|200px|Barry and Ash]]
Barry reappeared in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', where he battled Ash and his newly-caught {{TP|Ash|Gible}}. Barry wins his first battle against Ash, but Ash doesn't take it harshly, praising Gible anyway and instructing it to listen next time. Barry celebrates his win as he holds up his ticket to challenge Fantina, but Gible bites his hand and eats the ticket.

Barry once again appeared in ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', along with Paul where he challenged his idol to a battle, but to his dismay, Paul refused. Barry then battled Ash once again, using his Empoleon against Ash's Monferno. However, the battle was put on hold when Team Rocket attacked.

In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Barry showed up for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] where he was seen in the stadium along with all the other competitors. In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', he passed the preliminary round. In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'' he battled his idol [[Paul]] in the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], and even though he put up a strong battle, utilizing two new Pokémon in his team, Skarmory and Hitmonlee, along with his partner, Empoleon, he ended up falling before the superior strength and tactics of Paul and his team. He then stayed and watched Ash's battles with Paul and {{si|Tobias}}, and he parted from the group in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' promising to be reunited with Ash and become as strong as him.

Barry made a cameo appearance in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Character==
He was shown to have a very hyperactive personality, much like {{ga|Barry|his game counterpart}}. Barry admires [[Paul]] and his {{pkmn|training}} methods, and wants to be a strong {{pkmn|Trainer}} like him. He also has a slightly similar mentality as Paul's, as in {{pkmn2|caught|capturing}} strong Pokémon for training. However, unlike Paul, he still cares for his Pokémon.

{{an|Dawn}} knew Barry back when they both lived in [[Twinleaf Town]]; however, Barry doesn't remember her. He only recognizes Ash, Brock, and Dawn due to the fact that they participated in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament]] with Paul.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Barry's known Pokémon in the anime:

It managed to defeat Chimchar with a barrage of Poison Jabs as Chimchar was worn out from the battle with Staraptor. Roserade's next opponent was {{AP|Gliscor}}, it traded Poison Jabs with Gliscor's X-Scissors, only for both of them to get defeated at the same time.

Roserade appeared again in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' where it battled Team Galactic, only for it to be hit by {{p|Golbat}}'s {{m|Air Cutter}}.

Roserade's only known move is {{m|Poison Jab}}.}}

|desc=Barry's {{p|Heracross}} first appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' on [[Iron Island]] alongside its Trainer. It was training with {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} on Iron Island. The training got interrupted when Empoleon started attacking them as it was controlled by the sound waves coming from within the island.

Later, it took Barry on a flight around Iron Island to see the cause of the {{type|Steel}} going haywire, including his Empoleon. Heracross was then hit by a Skarmory's {{m|Steel Wing}}, sending them falling onto Team Rocket. Heracross attacked Team Rocket as they were accused to be the ones behind all of this. However, after pointing out the machines located on the island, it turned out that another [[Team Galactic|villainous team]] was the cause. The Galactic's {{p|Golbat}} attacked them with {{m|Air Cutter}} and severely damaged Heracross.

Heracross reappeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour]]'' battling [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Heracross was able to withstand Pikachu's attacks and became stronger from last time. The battle got interrupted when a {{p|Xatu}} flew by. Xatu lead the group to a tent owned by a {{tc|Clown}} and they got sent to another world. When they woke up, they got separated and searched for their Pokémon.

While Barry was looking for his Heracross, he found a tree. He had a flashback about the time he caught Heracross by slathering [[honey]] on a tree. He did the same thing this time and Heracross came up to Barry and the tree.

Heracross's known moves are {{m|Megahorn}}, {{m|Fury Attack}}, {{m|Horn Attack}}, and {{m|Double-Edge}}.}}

Both gave a good fight, where Hitmonlee showed good speed, agility, and strength. {{p|Ursaring}} managed to evade some attacks, but when it was hit by Hitmonlee's Blaze Kick, it was {{status|burn}}ed, and this activated its {{a|Guts}} Ability, which increased Ursaring's attack brutally, allowing it to defeat Hitmonlee with a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}}.

Hitmonlee's known moves are {{m|Mega Kick}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|High Jump Kick}}, and {{m|Blaze Kick}}.}}

* Barry has {{p|Empoleon|four}} {{p|Staraptor|of}} {{p|Roserade|the}} {{p|Heracross|same}} Pokémon his {{ga|Barry|game counterpart}} has at the end of the game, if the player starts with {{p|Chimchar}}, with a {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Hitmonlee}} in place of his {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Rapidash}}.
* Barry shares two of his three unknown Badges with [[Nando]]'s two unknown Badges.
* Barry never lets [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} finish their {{motto}}.
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, Ash affectionately calls him "Barry-Gon", a pun on "barrigón", which means "paunchy".

'''Mika''' (Japanese: '''ミカ''' ''Mika'') is a little girl who lives in [[Megi City]] on [[Yellow Rock Isle]] with her sister, [[Andrea]], and their {{TP|Mika and Andrea|father}}. The entire family appeared in ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper!]]''.

The family's business is collecting {{p|Corsola}} horns to make jewelry, the main source of income for Yellow Rock Isle. As a result, the family lives on top of a Corsola colony. This gives them easy access to the Corsola when they shed their horns.

One day, an over-excited {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} found its way to the family. Its eagerness to play scared off all the other Corsola. Because there were no Corsola in the colony, their house floated away. Unfortunately, it carried little Mika with it.

Thankfully, {{Ash}} and his friends saw what was going on and came to Mika's rescue. With the help of {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Bayleef}}, Mika was saved from drowning in a whirlpool.

She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]''.

Gotta catch 'em all!

----
[[File:English motto.png|thumb|right|250px|The original logo for the phrase.]]
'''Gotta catch 'em all!''' is the English slogan of the Pokémon franchise, including the English language [[Pokémon games|Pokémon video games]]. The Japanese equivalent is '''Get Pokémon!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンゲットだぜー！''' ''Pokémon <sc>get</sc> da ze~!'', also spelt '''ポケモンＧＥＴだぜー！''')

The first pair of Pokémon games released in North America, {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, were labeled with the catchphrase below the Pokémon logo. Their sequels, {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and later, {{game|Crystal}}, had the catchphrase in the same position. {{game|Yellow}} was the only exception, instead advertising that it was the "Special {{p|Pikachu}} Edition" of the game below the logo. The slogan was then retired for all subsequent games. Despite the slogan being brought back after the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]] the phrase has not repapered on the box art akin to the earlier [[generations]].

==In the anime==
The most obvious reference to the catchphrase in the {{pkmn|anime}} was introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]] by [[Ash Ketchum]] himself. Promising that he would catch all of the Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}, Ash set off on his journey. However, up to the current point in the anime, Ash has only progressed to 66 captures of Pokémon, just over 9% of the total number of Pokémon known as of [[Generation VI]]. Moreover Ash does not at all focus on catching as many species as he can; he even expresses distaste for Gary's training method of "catching them all". The motto also seems to be a pun for Pokémon photographers, as [[Robert's grandfather]] "caught them all" and {{Todd}} "catches" Pokémon.

Another anime reference comes in the lyrics of different songs. It is featured in the [[Pokémon Theme|original opening theme]], as well as in the chorus of the [[Pokérap]]. It is also found in [[Pokémon Johto|the theme]] for [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|The Johto Journeys]], the anime's third season. The lyrics include, in reference to the {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon introduced in Gold and Silver}}, that "you still gotta catch 'em all!". A new, reprised version of the original theme was used as the opening for the XY series.

The reference was used the title of the second-to-last episode of the [[original series]], ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''. In this episode, both {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} return to [[Kanto]], leaving Ash to head to the [[Hoenn]] region alone.

The slogan was referenced in the English-language version of ''[[M07|Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys]]'' when {{an|Brock}} says the phrase when collecting food from a haywire robotic vending machine during a power outage (with "them all", in this instance, being hot dogs).

The [[Pokérap GS]] used the catchphrase quite prominently.

The line was later said by {{MTR}} in ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]''.

The line is also referenced in the song [[Can't Stop (Catchin' 'Em All)]] several times.

Gotta catch 'em all! is also seen in the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment in the {{series|XY}}.

==Retirement and return==
The slogan was retired from the [[Pokémon games]] around 2003, with the release of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. Instead of the now-familiar phrase appearing below the Pokémon logo, the game's version name appeared there. This held true for the remaining games of [[Generation III]], and would later prove to be the standard with the release of the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

The retirement was possibly due to the large amount of Pokémon now required to capture to complete the [[National Pokédex]], 718 as of [[Generation VI]]. It may as well have been due to the incompatibility between the [[Generation II]] and Generation III games, as all of the Pokémon known as of the third generation were not available between Ruby and Sapphire, unlike what had been the case with Red and Blue and Gold and Silver.

The slogan may also have been taken out of use since it was a target of critics of the game and franchise (with some saying the phrase was an equivalent to, "Gotta buy 'em all").

An English-language Diamond and Pearl commercial was released that features the phrase in the United States. It is also used as the slogan for the {{DL|Jubilife TV|Catch That Pokémon Show}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. This did not, however, mean that the slogan made a permanent return, rather it was just a reference to the then defunct slogan.

On the {{game|Black and White|s}} official website, the slogan is referenced in the "Pokémon" section of the site. A link to the new Pokémon is labeled with the phrase "See 'Em All."

[[File:Gotta Catch Em All logo.png|thumb|right|260px|The new logo]]
On September 14, 2013, the phrase was once again used in a trailer that was accidentally leaked on the Pokémon YouTube channel and advertised a new website called "www.gottacatchemall.com" - a website offering people in the United Stares a chance to win {{g|X and Y}} related prizes in the sweepstakes from September 16 until October 12, 2013. The site requires the first name of the user, their respective e-mail address, a username and the code "XY1012" to open. The site scattered various codes around various sites on the internet as "Easter eggs" to unlock {{ball|Poké}}s on the website, and thus, a "Pokémon, a digital gift, and a chance to win". The site now has a new logo for the phrase "Gotta catch 'em all!". The new logo is now used for all videos on [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s YouTube channel, along with a Pikachu saying "Pika!".

==Rewards==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Generation VI rewards}}
[[File:Crystal EN boxart.jpg|thumb|right|250px|{{game|Crystal}}, the last game to feature the catchphrase on its boxart.]]
In most of the games, the reward for catching all the Pokémon available in the game was a [[diploma]], proof of the feat. However, from the beginning, rumors appeared about a greater reward for attaining the ultimate goal of catching them all. Specifically, in Red and Blue, rumors circulated that after the player had {{pkmn2|caught}} the 150 {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, if they showed their full [[Pokédex]] to the [[Game Freak]] employees in [[Celadon Condominiums]], they would be rewarded with the elusive 151st Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}. These rumors, however, were false, as the only reward offered for capture of 150 Pokémon was the Diploma; Mew was only officially available through [[Nintendo]]-sponsored events, though otherwise available through the [[Mew glitch]].

The same was true of the Generation II games, where showing a 249-Pokémon Pokédex (minus {{p|Celebi}} and Mew) would have the same developers give the player another diploma. With the retirement of the slogan, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire only required the player to complete the 200-Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] (lacking {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}) to receive a diploma, though the 386-Pokémon [[National Pokédex]] still remained as a goal for players who wanted bragging rights.

In the Generation IV games, by the time the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} are defeated, the player will have seen almost all of the Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], if not all 150; it is possible to do this even before entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. The reward for this is the National Pokédex, allowing the player to go on a true quest to actually catch them all once more, though this feat requires catching more than three times as many Pokémon as it would take to complete the Sinnoh Pokédex. Catching 482 (or 484 in HeartGold and SoulSilver) of the 493 Pokémon—{{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}{{tt|*|Sinnoh games only}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{tt|*|Sinnoh games only}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}} are not required—results in the awarding of another diploma.

The first Generation V games, {{2v2|Black|White}}, continue the tradition, with 156 Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number#List of Pokémon by Old Unova Pokédex number|new listing]] (though only 152 are required for diploma - {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Genesect}} are not). The National diploma requires 636 Pokémon ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}} aren't required).

The sequels to the Generation V games are different, however, giving an actual reward for catching them all. The {{key|V|Permit}} is awarded for seeing 297 out of [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|301 Pokémon]] (as before, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}} are not required), which gives player the access to the [[Nature Preserve]]. After catching them all, [[Professor Juniper]] will give the player the [[Oval Charm]], which increases the chances of Pokémon producing {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the Daycare. Finally, after completing the National Pokédex (barring {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}}), she will also give the player the [[Shiny Charm]] after the player talks to [[Cedric Juniper|Cedric]], which makes [[Shiny Pokémon]] more likely to appear.

In Generation VI, the player once again receives the diploma from the Game Director, and receives the diploma from [[Professor Sycamore]]. {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Diancie}} are not required to complete the Pokédex.

==Trivia==
* The slogan for the [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]] was "Gotta catch 'em here!", an obvious reference to the franchise's slogan.
* The slogan's appearance on pre-release boxart for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} indicates that it was initially intended to be kept, but was dropped sometime between January and March 2003.
* In the [[VIZ Media]] edition of [[Pokémon Adventures]] [[Pokémon Adventures volume 14|volume 14]], [[Professor Oak (Adventures)|Professor Oak]] makes a reference to the slogan, saying that [[Crystal (Adventures)|Crys]] "truly catches them all".

Indigo League

Compass:

{{samename|first season of the [[Pokémon anime]]|Pokémon: Indigo League}}
The '''Indigo League''' (Japanese: '''セキエイリーグ''' ''Sekiei League'') is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the [[Kanto]] region. It consists of a network of eight [[Gym]]s (in the games; however, there are more in the anime) and the {{ka|Elite Four}}. Depending on the context, the Indigo League can also be called the '''Kanto League''' or simply the '''Pokémon League'''.

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s who earn eight [[Badge|Gym Badges]] from sanctioned Indigo League Gyms qualify to participate in Indigo League [[Pokémon League#Types of competitions|competitions]], one of which is the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

The [[Johto League]] and Indigo League share a single group of Elite Four and {{pkmn|Champion}}; eight Badges from either region will allow a Trainer to battle the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

[[Image:100_025_PIKACHU16_T.jpg‎|thumb|left|Version given out through the {{wp|Toyota}} campaign Illus. [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
This card was released as a promotional card. In Japan, it came with ''Easily Understand How to Play Pokémon Card'', released in October 1996. It was later included with the November 1996 issue of [[CoroCoro]] Comic. The English version of the card was released through the first Pokémon card leagues in July 1999.

A variant with alternate artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]] was released in Japan only. This variant was released through a {{wp|Toyota}} auto campaign in October 1997.

==Trivia==
*The version of the card released in English is commonly known as ''Ivy Pikachu'', referring to the background design of the illustration.
*A small number of the English version of this card with a 1st Edition symbol was accidentally released along with the 1st Edition release of {{TCG|Jungle}} booster packs. This accident caused this card to be the only promotional card of any sort to have a 1st Edition release.

Master Ball

2011-01-13T02:50:54Z

Compass:

[[Image:SugimoriMasterBall.png|thumb|250px|right|The Master Ball]]
The '''Master Ball''' (Japanese: '''マスターボール''' ''Master Ball'') is a variety of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation I]], and arguably the rarest of all Poké Ball variants. It is unique in the aspect that it is guaranteed to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] any [[wild Pokémon]] ([[Marowak (literal ghost)|with one exception]]) that it is thrown at. It shares this attribute with the Park Ball used within [[Pal Park]]. However, unlike the Park Ball, the Master Ball can be obtained and used outside of Pal Park.

The Master Ball, like all Poké Balls, is spherical in shape. The top and bottom halves are divided by a horizontal black band, on which is the button found on all Poké Balls. The top half of the Master ball is purple, with a white letter "M" on the front, with a pink circle on either side.

==In the games==
[[File:Bag Master Ball Sprite.png|thumb|250px|right]]
The Master Ball has been present in every main series Pokémon game. Usually, only one Master Ball is available to the {{player}} per saved game, although from [[Generation II]] onwards, additional Master Balls can be won in various lottery drawings, but only if the drawn number exactly matches the ID number of one of the player's Pokémon.

The Master Ball is the only item that is not a [[key item]] and cannot be sold; however, it can be sold in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, but will sell for {{pdollar}}0.

==In other games==
===In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]===
In the two Pokémon Pinball titles, the Poké Ball that serves as the pinball is capable of being upgraded to a Great Ball, an Ultra Ball and a Master Ball. However, this serves solely as a score multiplier, as catching a Pokémon is always guaranteed, even with a regular Poké Ball.

===Pokémon XD===
In {{Pokémon XD}}, Master Balls are used in the [[Battle Bingo]] game. The player starts with two and can gain an extra one from one of the ? spaces.

===In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
The Master Ball has not appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series; however, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the [[Poké Ball]] trophy mentions the Master Ball, identifying it as the strongest variety of Poké Ball.

==In the anime==
[[File:Master ball.png|thumb|right|[[Sullivan]]'s Master Ball]]
The Master Ball first appeared in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', and again in ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''. However, the Master Ball in these episodes was not an actual Master Ball; rather, it was a beach ball owned by {{an|Misty}}, which had been decorated to look like a Master Ball.

An actual Master Ball made its only true appearance in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''. It was used by a fisherman named [[Sullivan]] in a last-ditch attempt to catch [[Nero]], an [[Giant Pokémon|oversized]] wild {{p|Whiscash}} that had long eluded him. As the Master Ball is reputed to successfully catch any wild Pokémon without fail, Sullivan was sure that using the Master Ball would work. This, however, was not the case, as Nero unexpectedly swallowed the Master Ball and disappeared back into the water. At the end of the episode, Nero was seen playing with the Master Ball on its tongue.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Blaine caught {{adv|Mewtwo}} using a Master Ball.

==In the TCG==
The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}} first appeared in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. The Master Ball has been included in numerous expansions since Gym Challenge.

==Trivia==
* The {{DL|List of minor glitches|infinite ball glitch}} is often known as the Master Ball glitch, due to Master Balls commonly being used in this glitch.
* {{p|Tamagetake}} and {{p|Morobareru}}, both of whom have designs based off of the Poké Ball, are colored similarly to the Master Ball in their {{shiny}} forms.

'''Swampert''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラグラージ''' ''Laglarge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Swampert has a huge cobalt blue–colored body and massive, three-fingered open palms. Swampert has a wide mouth, and three small pointed protrusions from its upper jaw. Two orange gills protrude from round patches on its cheeks, and two large, semiovular black fins rise from the top of its orange eyes on its head. Swampert's tail fin is huge, broad and black. Swampert's underside has white coloration, and its hands and three-toed feet each have orange, ridged portions.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Swampert possesses immense physical strength, with enough power to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton. It can apply its strength to its powerful hands to use {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Swampert has powerful vision, enabling it to see even in murky water. It, like many Water-type Pokémon, is a fast swimmer and can swim as fast as a jet ski. Swampert also has the ability to predict storms, sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. As a fully-evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a Water-type starter Pokémon), Swampert can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. It can also learn any attack that its pre-evolutions can learn, albeit stronger.

===Behavior===
If Swampert senses a storm approaching, it will protect its seaside nest by piling up boulders. Swampert batters down its foes with a swing of its thick, rock-hard arms. It is territorial and protects its family as much as possible.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Swampert and its evolution family probably live in swamps or other wetlands. Its Pokédex description for FireRed and LeafGreen state that they make nests on beautiful beaches.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
There is a good chance that Swampert eats other Pokémon that live in the swamp lands, like Feebas and Barboach. The parent Swampert of a family may be the ones who hunt, and deliver for their entire family.

==In the anime==
[[File:Swampert f punch.png|right|thumb|210px|Swampert in the anime]]
Swampert first appeared in ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship]]''. It evolved from a Marshtomp that was living in an abandoned ship ever since it was separated from its [[Tommy (Hoenn)|Trainer]].

[[Morrison]] introduced his Swampert to {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''.

{{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} used his Swampert and {{p|Arcanine}} to battle against [[Ash's Corphish]] and {{AP|Swellow}} in a [[double battle]] in ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]''.

A Swampert was shown under the ownership of {{ga|Brendan}} in his cameo appearance in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. This is to keep in theme with the games of the rival's starter Pokémon having a type-advantage over the player's starter Pokémon (in this case, [[May's Blaziken]]).

A Swampert appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'' as one of Pokémon Hunter [[J]]'s captured Pokémon.

A Swampert is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Swampert appeared in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' where it had an antagonistic role.

==In the manga==
{{adv|Ruby}}'s [[Zuzu|Marshtomp]] evolved into Swampert from its concussive battles throughout the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. With its increased strength and knowledge of the moves {{m|Muddy Water}} and the previously known {{m|Earthquake}}, it proved to be a formidable battler and driving force of the double team of the boy and {{adv|Sapphire}} against [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]. It also appeared on Ruby's active team in the {{chap|Emerald}}, but didn't participate in the battle with [[Emerald's Sceptile]].

* Swampert has the highest [[base stat]] total of all the starter evolutions.
* Swampert, and its pre-evolution {{p|Marshtomp}}, is the only starter-type to have a 4× weakness against another {{t|Grass|starter type}}.
* Swampert is the only fully evolved {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon that does not learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level up as of [[Generation V]], although it can learn it as {{p|Mudkip}} before evolving.


===Origin===
Like {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Marshtomp}}, Swampert is based on the {{wp|mudpuppy}} or mudskipper.

====Name origin====
Swampert's name is probably derived from ''{{wp|swamp}}'' and ''rampart'', ''expert'' or ''inert''. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of ''{{wp|lagoon}}'' and ''large'', referring to its size. It may also contain ''{{wp|lag}}'', as in "Lagging behind", due to its size and weight.

*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 대짱이 ''Daejjang-i''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 巨沼怪 ''Jù Zhǎo Guài'' - Literally "Giant swamp monster". 沼 also means pond/pool.

'''Mantyke''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タマンタ''' ''Tamanta'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Mantine}} via [[level]]-up with a {{p|Remoraid}} in the [[party]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Like its evolved form, Mantyke looks like a {{wp|manta ray}}. It has wide fins, and a completely flat body. On its back is a pattern with two red spots with white outlines and a white curve underneath; all this resembles a happy face.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Like {{P|Mantine}}, Mantyke has the ability to swim at high speeds.

===Behavior===
Much like Mantine, it appears to be quite friendly.
===Habitat===
Mantyke are found wild in the ocean.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mantyke.png|thumb|210px|Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} riding on a Mantyke]]
In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', [[Jack Walker]] uses the [[Capture Styler]] on Mantyke in order to use it to help him reach the temple. It is also shown swimming with a Mantine, presumably a parent.

It made its debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'' during the beginning narration of the episode.

Mantyke made its next appearance in the anime in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]'', used by {{Ash}} in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

Several Mantyke appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]''.

==Trivia==
*Mantyke is the only Pokémon so far that needs another Pokémon to be in the [[party]] in order to evolve it.
*It is the second heaviest baby Pokémon behind {{p|Munchlax}}.
*Mantyke, along with {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Dusknoir}} and {{p|Arbok}} have patterns that resemble a face on their bodies.
*At a catch rate of 25, Mantyke is second only to the {{p|Beldum}} evolutionary family as the most difficult non-legendary to catch. This makes it more difficult to capture than {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} (25 in comparison to 30).
*Despite what is said in the [[Pokédex]], Mantyke's face on its back didn't differ in the back sprite of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
*Mantyke is the only {{t|Water}} or {{type2|Flying}} [[Baby Pokémon]] so far.
*Oddly, Mantyke can learn Signal Beam through breeding, yet it cannot learn it from a Move Tutor. Mantine, however, can be tutored Signal Beam.
===Origin===
Mantyke is based on a baby {{wp|manta ray}}.
====Name origin====
Mantyke is a combination of ''manta'' and ''tyke'', a word sometimes used to described a child. Its Japanese name, Tamanta, is a combination of 玉 ''tama'', ball, and ''manta''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Mantirps - From ''Manta'' and ''Knirps'' (toddler).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Babimanta - From ''bébé'' (baby) or ''baby'', and ''manta''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 타만타 ''Tamanta''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 小球飛魚 ''Xiǎo Qiú Fēi Yú'' - Literally "Small ball flying fish".

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
Fresh off his victory at the [[Lavaridge Gym]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] try to decide where to go next. Brock suggests heading towards [[Fortree City]], but after noticing that the road there leads through a desert, he suggests a detour back towards [[Mauville City]]. May and Max remember that Mauville City is just a short distance away from their hometown [[Petalburg City]], and suggest stopping by for a visit. Ash agrees, as now that he has three Pokémon he can challenge [[Norman]], the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]] (as well as May and Max's father) to an official Gym Battle.

On the road to Mauville City, Ash and his friends encounter a {{p|Spinda}} with a heart shaped mark on its head. Before they can get too close the Spinda runs off. Soon afterwards they run into a woman named [[Claire]] and her butler [[Royce]]. She tells them that the Spinda they just saw is her lucky Spinda, it was given to her by a close friend for safekeeping and she has to catch it quickly. Smitten by her beauty, Brock agrees to do whatever it takes to find the missing Spinda, and leads the rest of his friends on a wild chase through the forest. They soon realize that the forest is home to an entire colony of Spinda, each of which has different markings. To Brock's dismay he continually comes across a Spinda with a broken heart shaped patch on its head, which serves as a constant reminder of his failure with women. Hiding nearby, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} overhear their plan, and decide to catch the lucky Spinda for themselves.

Ash and his friends eventually succeed in locating the Spinda, but before they can grab it [[Team Rocket]] suddenly appears, and sucks it up with their balloon. To their surprise the Spinda fights back, using {{m|Dizzy Punch}} and {{m|Hypnosis}} to send Team Rocket crashing back to earth. Crawling out of the wreckage the Spinda runs off again, with Ash and his friends in close pursuit. Not to be deterred, Team Rocket decides to take another approach, by capturing a wandering {{p|Teddiursa}} and dressing it up like a Spinda in distress. This plan fails as well when the Teddiursa's parent, an angry {{p|Ursaring}} appears and uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} to blow them away. Upon landing, Jessie and James decide to use Meowth as bait instead, dressing him up as a Spinda. To everybody's surprise, the plan works and the lucky Spinda appears to save Meowth. However, when they try to capture it the Spinda uses {{m|Teeter Dance}} to knock them off a cliff. The Spinda begins to climb up a nearby mountain, with May, Brock, and Claire right behind it.

At the top they find a beautiful field of flowers. The lucky Spinda appears with a flower for Claire, which reminds her that this is the place where she met the Spinda's owner. She realizes that the Spinda wasn't running away at all, it was leading her to this spot. Ash, Max, and Royce appear soon afterwards, and Royce confirms Brock's deepest fears. Spinda's owner is actually Claire's fiance! To make things even worse for Brock, the fiance himself, a man named [[Kain]] suddenly appears with flowers for Claire. Their romantic moment is interrupted by another appearance by Team Rocket, who use [[Team Rocket's Mechas|a giant Spinda shaped robot]] to capture the lucky Spinda.

Angry over Claire's engagement, Brock goes into a rage and sends out all three of his Pokémon to attack the robot. {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} and {{TP|Brock|Lotad|Ludicolo}} are defeated by the robot's mecha Dizzy Punch, but an {{m|Explosion}} attack from {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} destroys the robot, sending Team Rocket blasting off again.

With the happy couple and Spinda reunited, Ash and his friends, including a forlorn Brock, part ways with their new friends and continue on their way.

=== Errors ===
* The Trainer's Choice of Surskit being effective against Seedot is partially true as the former is also a {{type|Bug}} and the latter learns no {{t|Grass}} moves. Delibird would also be effective since it could be taught Fly, and Seel as it learns several {{type|Ice}} moves.

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mew is notable for its ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]] and [[move tutor]] move (except {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}), unique amongst all known Pokémon.

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature, though its morphology is actually more like a {{wp|jerboa}}. Mew's hair is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail. Mew has big hind legs, like a {{wp|rabbit}}, and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew has triangle-shaped ears and baby-blue eyes. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body. It also vaguely resembles an embryo or fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb.
====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will (similar to {{p|Rotom}}), creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to {{m|transform}} into any one of the other 648 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, in much the same fashion as {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Jirachi}}. It has been seen to be able to swim {{m|Dive|underwater}} as well.

===Behavior===
Mew is a very curious and intelligent Pokémon that will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It loves playing around and swimming, and is known to act very childish at times, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it. It is attracted to {{wp|lullabies}} and will try to stay as close to the music as possible. All in all, Mew is known as a happy, playful and optimistic species of Pokémon, unlike its relative, Mewtwo.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Reports found on Burned Mansion found in [[Cinnabar Island]] in the Kanto region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or Team Rocket-run which had sighted Mew in {{wp|Guyana}}, South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is called a mirage by most.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Considering Mew's unique lifestyle as a floating Psychic Pokémon, and that no terrestrial animal resembles it, there is no known diet for Mew. However, it can be found with the [[Lum Berry]], which might offer a clue as to what it eats.

==In the anime==
{{spoiler}}
[[File:MewInBubble.png|thumb|right|In Mewtwo Strikes Back]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mew (movie 1)|Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)]]====
In this movie, Mew made a couple cameo appearances at the start of the movie. A {{an|Mewtwo}} was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing his [[starter Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island so it could stop Mewtwo from destroying the world. After the end credits of the movie, Mew is shown flying to the mountains.

Mew makes a small appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', the sequel to ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring.

====[[Mew (movie 8)|Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)]]====
[[File:Mew.png|right|thumb|In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]
Another Mew first appeared as a {{p|Taillow}}, landing on [[Cameran Palace]] and then {{m|transform}}ing into {{p|Treecko}}. It then transformed into an {{p|Aipom}} to play with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|the others}} released their Pokémon to play with what they thought was an Aipom.

After taking them to an attic, [[Kidd Summers]] sent her two {{p|Weavile}} after it. To escape, it {{m|teleport}}ed itself, along with Pikachu and {{MTR}}. It then transformed once again into a {{p|Pidgeot}} and flew the Pokémon to the [[Tree of Beginning]]. While Ash and the others were looking for Pikachu, Mew kept it entertained with toys.

Mew also nearly sacrificed itself to save the Tree of Beginning. {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}} stepped in and was able to save Mew, but ended up sacrificing itself. Mew is believed to still reside at the Tree of Beginning. It is last seen playing with a {{p|Bonsly}}.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|Mirage}} Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to interfere with the plans of [[Mirage Master]].

===Minor appearances===
[[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' were apparently set in motion due to an Ancient Mew card; the card itself was actually shown in the movie.

A Mew appeared in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. As of this episode, every {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mew in the manga.png|right|thumb|Mew as it appears in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Mew debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but fail. It is known as the "Phantom Pokémon" and was chased by [[Team Rocket]].

Team Rocket's chase would continue all the way to the {{DL|Pokémon Adventures volume 2|the next volume}}, where they attempt to regain the disc containing Mew's habitat and information from {{Adv|Green}}, but fail and are tricked into stealing an empty one she prepared. They catch up to Green and her unwilling ally Red soon afterward, and interrupt them when they tracked down and attempted to capture the rare Pokémon. However, when their {{p|Jynx}} was able to almost succeed, Mew's powerful psychic attack left them listless, and soon escaped. The small samples of its DNA that the Rockets acquired, however, led to the creation of its powerful clone.

Another volume later, Mew is briefly seen looking into the [[Indigo Plateau]] after Red wins the Pokémon League championship and decides to return to Pallet Town with his two fellow [[Pokédex Holder]]s.

It later reappeared in the [[FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Adventures)|FireRed and LeafGreen saga]], where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter. {{adv|Mewtwo}} notices this, and realizes that he too had a root to trace itself back to, as it was born from Mew's eyelash.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Mew (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Mew.png|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In Super Smash Bros. Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single player, the summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Melee, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in Brawl, the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

==Game data==

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Mew is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Grass Cornet]].

==Trivia==
* Though it comes after {{p|Mewtwo}} in the Pokédex, it has to have been found before Mewtwo, due to the fact that Mewtwo is a clone of it.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_pokmon_heartgold_version__soulsilver_version_16288_16289.html</ref>
* In the games, lost scientific reports state that Mew was found in the forests of Guyana.
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in {{v2|Emerald}}.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Attract}} and {{m|Captivate}}; however, when used by Mew, they will fail unless the opposing Pokémon is also genderless.
* Mew's English name, only three letters long, is the shortest of all Pokémon. It shares this distinction with {{p|Muk}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to Level 100, whereas most legendaries need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
* If Mew were considered an enbodyment of 'earth', it and the other 'fairy legendaries' would represent the chinese Wu Xing, fire (Victini), water (Manaphy), earth (Mew), wood (Celebi), and metal (Jirachi).
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]] it has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear, in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251, and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493. These are the total numbers of Pokémon in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], and [[Generation IV]], respectively.
[[File:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* Mew is legitimately obtainable only in [[Nintendo promotional event]]s, historically through a direct trade. In {{game|Emerald}}, it may be found in [[Faraway Island]], a location that may be reached only with the promotion-only item [[Old Sea Map]]. After certain conditions are met, a Mew can be transferred to a Generation IV game from [[My Pokémon Ranch]].
* Although Mew is considered the ancestor of all Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}} is said to be the first of all Pokémon.
* Mew's species name, "New Species", is rather ironic, as it is in fact one of the first ever Pokémon to have existed.
** In the games it is also unable to breed, despite being the ancestor of all Pokémon.
* In many of the games, Mew is depicted as pink. However, in the movies and some of the spin off games, Mew is a much lighter color.
* Mew shares the move {{m|Transform}} with {{p|Ditto}}, along with also sharing the same color, both {{Shiny}} and not.
* In an interview with Game Freak and Creatures, Inc. in Nintendo Power issue 134, Tsunekazu Ishihara revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.
* For the most recent release of Mew as an event for {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, for the US it was released ten years to the day for the anniversary for the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Mew's tail in the back sprites of [[Generation IV]] grew in length from the [[Generation III]] back sprites.

===Trademark===
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Mew is similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. It also shares some traits with felines.

====Name origin====
Mew's name may refer to its {{wp|cat}}-like appearance, with ''mew'' being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word ''unique'' (myō), or the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Mew

'''Torterra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドダイトス''' ''Dodaitose'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Ground}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Turtwig}}.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Torterra possess a giant, flat-looking shell that resembles those of the {{wp|ankylosauria|ankylosaurs}}. Upon this shell rests a single, oak-like tree and three triangular, gray-colored stony extensions resembling mountain peaks; as opposed to the two bushes on {{p|Grotle}}'s back. The shell also has a patterning of brown, resembling soil, next to the tree, and a white rim that forms a continuation on the front of the shell, the feature most resembling a baseball diamond. Torterra’s shell is most likely the basis of their classification as the Continent Pokémon, befitting not only for their shell's appearance, but also for the size of Torterra's actual body, which is bulky and seem to be too big for their shells. Their bulk no longer allows them to {{m|withdraw}} into their shells as easily as they could as Turtwig, though it gives a sufficient amount of protection from foes. The upper portions of Torterra’s body and its lower jaw are green, and they bear two large spikes, like the ones on their shell, that jut out of the sides of their heads making it look somewhat like an Ankylosaurus. Torterra's eyes are intimidating, encircled by a black ring and bearing small red pupils. Their mouth is jagged and at the end of their snout is a dark brown beak, giving them the appearance of a snapping turtle. Their thick, tree trunk-like legs are massive and powerful in order to hold up their enormous, heavy bodies. They bear four toes on each of their legs, which appear as if they are actually jagged stones, with three in the front and one on the heel.

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

====Special abilities====
Torterra has the ability {{a|Overgrow}}, causing its {{type2|Grass}} attacks to become stronger when it has taken a lot of damage. It can learn powerful attacks such as {{m|Wood Hammer}} and {{m|Earthquake}} and as it is a fully-evolved {{type2|Grass}} {{pkmn2|starter}}, it can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.

===Behavior===
Despite their great size, these Pokémon are peaceful in nature and enjoy being with others of their own kind, preferring to bask in sunlight as they do not like to fight. When immobile, they look as if they are part of the ground upon which they rest, not as though they were a sleeping Pokémon. Because of this appearance, there are occasions when small Pokémon will gather and {{wp|commensalism|build nests on the shell}} of a stationary Torterra, who don't seem to notice or mind. When Torterra do move, they often migrate in herds in search of water. These herds give the impression of a moving forest.

===Habitat===
Torterra live in dense forests near freshwater lakes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Due to their docile nature, Torterra are likely herbivores. Being a Grass-type Pokémon, Torterra can also likely use {{wp|photosynthesis}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:ash_Torterra.png|250px|thumb|right|{{AP|Torterra}} in the anime]]
Torterra's first movie appearance was in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' belonging to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Maury]]. It battled against [[Ash's Pikachu]].

{{TP|Paul|Torterra}}'s debut appearance in the anime was in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', where it was revealed to be [[Paul]]'s [[starter Pokémon]]. [[Paul's Torterra|It]] later helped [[Ash's Grotle]] cope with its reduced {{stat|Speed}} in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]''.

A Torterra appeared in the opening ''[[The Greatest - Everyday!]]'', under the ownership of Ash. Later, in ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'', Ash's Grotle evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}.

{{Animedexbody|DP040|Torterra|Ash's Pokédex|Torterra, the Continent Pokémon. Torterra is the final evolved form of {{p|Turtwig}}. Sometimes small Pokémon will gather to make their nests on Torterra's back.}}
{{Animedexbody|DP166|Torterra|Dawn's Pokédex|Torterra, the Continent Pokémon. Its large back and sanitary nature offer an ideal place for smaller Pokémon to build their nests.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{adv|Diamond}} owns a {{p|Turtwig}} nicknamed [[Wig]], which evolved into a {{p|Grotle}}, and then again into a [[Wig|Torterra]] fairly quickly (both times with [[Chimhiko]]). While it, just like in the games, did not lose speed upon either of its evolutions, it was never very fast to begin with, a trait duly noted since its gym match with [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Quagsire}}, where it was able to take the win with a powerful {{m|Giga Drain}}. After being returned to its rightful owner, it underwent training on [[Iron Island]] to overcome its speed loss by using a single, perfectly accurate {{m|Razor Leaf}} that is so fast that Diamond cannot even finish the attack order before it hits. Attesting much to the boy's childishness, he named it the "Razor Leaf Dia Special Mach One and Only".

==Trivia==
* Torterra shares the same [[species]] type with {{p|Groudon}}; both of them are known as the Continent Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Torterra.
* Torterra has the highest base {{Stat|Defense}} of all the final stages of the Starter Pokémon.
* Torterra has the lowest {{Stat|Speed}} of all the final evolutions of the starters.
* Torterra has the lowest base stat total among all final evolutions of the Starter Pokémon. It shares this trait with the other {{type2|Grass}} starters except {{p|Sceptile}} and {{p|Jalorda}}, who are at 530 and 528, respectively.
* Torterra is the heaviest of all the final evolved {{pkmn2|starter}}s.
* When walking to the right in [[Amity Square]], Torterra's sprite shows the left side of Torterra, the opposite of how it should appear.
*Torterra's color palette was changed slightly in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, despite it being a non-Johto Pokémon. This also happened to {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Stunky}}, {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Purugly}}, and {{p|Chatot}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Turtwig, Grotle and Torterra}}
Torterra has aspects of a {{wp|snapping turtle}} and an {{wp|ankylosaurus}}, a species of armored dinosaur. It may also be based upon the {{wp|Akupara|world turtles}} in various mythologies that carry worlds upon their backs, or perhaps the {{wp|Black Tortoise|Xuanwu/Genbu}} of various Asian myths. It also may be based on the {{wp|Cultural_depictions_of_turtles_and_tortoises#Japan|minogame}}.
====Name origin====
Its name comes from ''tortoise'' and ''terra'', which is Latin for "ground". The ''-terra'' may also refer to {{wp|terrapin}}s. Its name also bears similarity to ''{{wp|tuatara}}'', a type of lizard, and ''{{wp|totara}}'', a type of tree, both of which are native to {{pmin|New Zealand}}.

Its Japanese name may come from 土 ''do'', earth or ground, 大 ''dai'', large, and ''tortoise''. 土台 ''Dodai'' also means {{wp|Foundation (engineering)|foundation}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Chelterrar - From ''Chelonia'' (the {{wp|genus}} of the {{wp|green turtle}}) and ''terra''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Torterra
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 토대부기 ''Todaebugi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 土台龜 ''Tu Tai Gui'' - From its Japanese name. May mean "Earth terrace tortoise". 台 may also refer to "platform", "stage", "stand", or "support".

'''Munchlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴンベ''' ''Gonbe'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Snorlax}} via [[Happiness#Evolutions|happiness]].

It was the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Munchlax has a teal-colored body with a cream-colored spot on its chest. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream-colored feet with three clawed toes. It's fur close to the bottom of Munchlax seems to resemble a dress.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Munchlax's abilities are about the same as its evolved form, {{P|Snorlax}}, only weaker. However, some moves that are unique to Munchlax are {{m|Screech}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{m|Stockpile}}, {{m|Swallow}}, {{m|Last Resort}}, and {{m|Metronome}}.

===Behavior===
Munchlax behaves quite opposite of its evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}, as it is somewhat hyperactive. It is very similar with its eating patterns, however. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food. Munchlax tend to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. It can also eat very many servings of food at a time, and rarely gets full.

===Habitat===
Wild Munchlax can only be found in [[honey trees]] in the games, so it is apparent that they spend most of their time eating honey off honey trees, although this is not officially confirmed.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Munchlax eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}. It will eat nearly anything. It can rarely become full and will eat constantly, unlike Snorlax, who eats in between sleeping.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Plusle Minun Munchlax.png|thumb|right|210px|Munchlax's first appearance]]
A Munchlax first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it evolved into a Snorlax to stay afloat in the Block Bot flood, making it the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to appear in the anime.

{{an|May}} currently owns a {{TP|May|Munchlax}}, which she captured in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]''.

A Munchlax appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''.

A trainer named [[Kylie]] owns a Munchlax, which was seen in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP076|Munchlax|Dawn's Pokédex|Munchlax, the Big Eater Pokémon. It gobbles up its own body weight in {{pkmn|food}} each day, and it {{m|Swallow|swallows}} its food without almost any chewing.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Munchlax named {{DL|Diamond (Adventures)|Lax}} which, like him, has a very gluttonous nature, prone to eating dozens of people's worth of snacks out the get-go. Despite being a baby Pokémon with little training, it showed considerable stamina and durability when being used by {{adv|Platinum}} to fight [[Fantina]]. It also often hides countless berries under its fur to serve as distractions.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure]]===
In [[DPA05|the fifth chapter]], a {{tc|Collector}}, {{tc|Ruin Maniac}}, {{tc|Psychic}} and [[Galactic Grunt]] are all searching for a Munchlax, which is said to be very rare. Its {{a|Pickup}} ability takes Hareta's Pokédex but Munchlax returns it later.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Munchlax (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[Image:SSBB Munchlax.png|right|thumb|Munchlax Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
After being released from a [[Poké Ball]], Munchlax walks around and {{m|Swallow|eats}} items on the stage. However, it will not eat a living item, an Assist Trophy, or a Poké Ball.

==Trivia==
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Shuckle}}, in terms of base stats, is the slowest non-glitched Pokémon.
** Despite this, Munchlax has the highest [[base stat]] total of all [[baby Pokémon]], at 390. This surpasses some second-evolution Pokémon, such as {{p|Beautifly}}.
*** Its base [[Stats#Hit points|HP]] and [[Stats#Attack|Attack]] stats are also the highest among baby Pokémon, at 135 and 85, respectively.
* Munchlax's English name was first revealed on September 10, 2004.
* Munchlax appeared in three games before [[Generation IV|its generation]]; [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], [[Pokémon_Mystery_Dungeon:_Red_Rescue_Team_and_Blue_Rescue_Team|the first Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Dash]].
**Although obtainable through hacking in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] as it has an index number, unlike {{p|Bonsly}}, it is unusable as it was not programmed to be used in battle.
* Though Munchlax appears to be dark blue in color, it belongs to the [[List of Pokémon by color#Black|black color group]].
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Qwilfish}}, are the only Pokémon who learn {{m|Stockpile}} by leveling up, but don't learn both {{m|Spit Up}} and {{m|Swallow}}. Munchlax doesn't learn {{m|Spit Up}}, while {{p|Qwilfish}} doesn't learn {{m|Swallow}}.
** This is most likely due to its eating habits.
* It is the second Pokémon species that has evolved in a movie, after many {{p|Metapod}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. In sheer numbers, however, there were hundreds of Metapod, so Munchlax is quite low on the list.
* Munchlax is the heaviest [[baby Pokémon]].
===Origin===
Munchlax is most likely based on a baby {{wp|bear}}. Its habits may also be based on the fact that bears eat a lot of food before hibernating, which Snorlax seems to do a lot more of.

====Name origin====
Munchlax's name is a combination of ''munch'', to chew on food, and ''lax'' or ''relax''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of {{p|Snorlax}}'s Japanese name, ''Kabigon'', and ''baby''. It may also be from 権兵衛 ''gonbē'', popular Japanese name for peasants in the old days.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Mampfaxo - A combination of ''mampfen'' (to munch) and ''Relaxo'' (the German name for Snorlax).
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Goinfrex - From ''goinfre'' (glutton), and ''extra''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 먹고자 ''Meokgoja'' - Literally "eat and sleep".
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 小卡比獸 ''Xiǎo Kǎ Bǐ Shòu'' - From 小 (small) and 卡比獸 (Snorlax).

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
{{incomplete synopsis book}}
The book starts with an egg floating around in the ocean when suddenly, a submarine barrels through the water, the submarine of [[Phantom]], a dangerous pirate. A metal arm extends out of the submarine and retrieves the egg. The submarine then surfaces, Phantom is just about to grasp the egg when a blonde pirate wearing sunglasses steps forward and grabs it, he then runs off, shutting the automatic doors behind him. The blonde pirate pulls off his disguise, it's Jack Walker the {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}! Jackie takes out a radio and contacts [[Judy]], the head of the Ranger Base, telling her that he had recovered the Egg of the Prince. Jackie runs up to the top of the submarine, he could see his rescue ship nearby. Just then Phantom appears with Chatot, his pet bird, and his first mate Galen. Phantom sends out a Pinsir and a Parasect to catch Jackie but before they could Jackie uses his capture stylus and catches a Mantine. Mantine uses Confuse Ray at Pinsir and Parasect, then, with Jackie on its back it heads towards Jackie's rescue ship.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] are lost with no water left, Max's [[PokéNav]] can't get a signal, which meant they were far from any town. Suddenly Pikachu sees a giant bubble floating in the distance, the friends quickly run towards it to find that there are lots of floating bubbles of water, all with water Pokémon inside them. Also there was a Meditite and a Medicham. The friends meet a teenage girl, after everyone introduces themselves, they find out that the girl is called Lizabeth who belongs to the Marina Group, a group of performers that do underwater shows. After Lizabeth introduces the rest of her family, [[Ship]], [[Meredith]], and {{mov|Kyle}}, everyone is given a glass of cold water. Ash notices that a clown was traveling with the Marina group as well. Max sees a {{p|Buizel}} and plays with it until the Buizel pulls aside a curtain and pushes the button on a jar, lighting it up, the jar seemed to contain an egg. Kyle quickly comes over and closes the curtain. The Marina Group then decide to take Ash and his friends with them to the next town so they could see their show.

===Blurb===
''Ash Ketchum is lost. Brock was sure they were headed in the right direction, but now their PokéNav can't even get a signal. There's no shade, and all of their canteens are dry. But then, Pikachu spots something incredible-a bubble of water floating in midair!''
''The Marina Group, famous for their Water-type Pokémon shows, has set up a camp and is happy to share water with the thirsty crew. but could this friendly family be hiding a secret? The answer will take Ash, May, Max, and Brock from a wooden ship in the dry desert to a pirate chase on the high seas in their most amazing adventure yet!''

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl}}
'''Pokémon Diamond Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド''' ''Pocket Monsters Diamond'') and '''Pokémon Pearl Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターパール''' ''Pocket Monsters Pearl'') are the first [[main series]] Pokémon RPGs released on the [[Nintendo DS]], beginning [[Generation IV]]. The games were released in Japan on September 28, 2006 and in North America on April 22, 2007. They take place in the region of [[Sinnoh]] and the {{player}}'s starting area is [[Twinleaf Town]].

==Plot==
At the start, the player sees a [[television|newscast]] about a sighting of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}. The player then heads to his or her {{ga|Barry|best friend}}'s house and goes to [[Lake Verity]] with him to see if there are any similar Pokémon living in it. Once there, two wild {{p|Starly}} attack. Nearby is a briefcase containing [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the two choose from to fight off the {{type2|Flying}}s. As is always the case, the player's best friend, who becomes the rival, takes the Pokémon that has a type advantage over the player's choice. The professor's assistant, who is the alternate-[[gender]] player character of the player, takes the remaining starter. After the Starly is defeated, the two return to Twinleaf Town with [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives him or her a pair of [[Running Shoes]], and then the player leaves for Sandgem Town to return the briefcase. After meeting Professor Rowan, he gives the player the Pokémon chosen at the lake to keep and a [[Pokédex]]. This sets one of the primary aims of the game, completing the Pokédex. The player then sets off to explore Sinnoh and defeat [[Gym Leader]]s in order to advance further in the plot, challenge the [[Elite Four]] and become the [[Champion]] of Sinnoh.

During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil [[Team Galactic]] and its leader, [[Cyrus]]. When the power of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} (depending on the version), summoned by Cyrus, begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} appear and negate the power flow, and the player must catch or defeat the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]].

After the player defeats the Elite Four, there are further activities to pursue. These mainly concern the capture of previously unavailable Pokémon, extra features such as the PokéRadar, exploration of previously unaccessable places such as the [[Fight Area|Fight]], [[Survival Area|Survival]], and [[Resort Area|Resort Areas]] and the perfection of battle skills in the {{si|Battle Tower}}.

==Blurb==
"Welcome to the next [[Generation IV|generation]] of Pokémon!" As a rookie [[Pokémon Trainer]], you will need to catch, train and battle Pokémon on your journey to become the [[Pokémon League]] Champion. You will face many challenges along the way, as you search for the Pokémon that rules time or space in Pokémon Diamond Version or Pokémon Pearl Version. Discover more than 100 new Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Meet goals and earn the ability to import Pokémon from your GBA [[version]]s! Battle and trade with your friends around the world using [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]!

==Connectivity==
[[{{ns:6}}:Pokémon Pearl.jpg|right|thumb|North American Pokémon Pearl DS card]]

* Diamond and Pearl are compatible with the [[Generation III|Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs]] after seeing the first 150 Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex. The GBA cartridge is inserted into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, while Diamond or Pearl is in its DS card slot to upload Pokémon.
* Pokémon uploads are restricted to six per 24-hour period per GBA cartridge, and the player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in [[Pal Park]] located at the end of {{rt|221|Sinnoh}} before transferring from another GBA game.
** However there is a [[Pal Park Glitch|way]] to bypass this restriction.
* Pokémon knowing any of the [[Generation III]] [[HM]] [[move]]s ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}}) cannot be transferred; therefore, it is necessary to go to the [[Move Deleter]] in [[Fuchsia City]] or [[Lilycove City]] to remove them before transfer.
* The player cannot transfer any of the Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to their Diamond/Pearl copy; the transfer is permanent.
* While a GBA game is in the DS, [[dual-slot mode]] activates and it becomes possible to capture Pokémon in the wild in Sinnoh that do not natively appear, though this may only happen after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.
* The DS's native support for Wi-Fi is employed, allowing players to trade, battle and communicate using "voice chat" online.
* Diamond and Pearl feature wireless connectivity to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], much as their predecessors connected to the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[Nintendo GameCube]] and their respective battle arena games.
* Diamond and Pearl feature a global trading system, which allows trainers to search for any Pokémon they want, or put up one of their own Pokémon for trade for any Pokémon. Players of other games can search for the Pokémon that others have put onto the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]].
* Diamond and Pearl feature connectivity to {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. By completing a special mission in Ranger, an [[Pokémon egg|Egg]] can be sent from Ranger to Diamond or Pearl, where it can be hatched into the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Manaphy}}.
* Diamond and Pearl also feature connectivity to [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. By completing three special missions in the game, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|egg}}, a {{p|Riolu}} with {{m|Aura Sphere}} and a {{p|Darkrai}} with {{m|Dark Void}} can be sent from the game to Diamond or Pearl.
* Diamond and Pearl also feature connection to the [[Wii|WiiWare]] title [[My Pokémon Ranch]], in which Pokémon can be raised and stored in a farm-like environment, much like [[Generation III]]'s [[Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire]].

==Features==
The day-night system first appearing in [[Generation II]] returns, with the same three [[time]] periods, but better transitioning between them. A new multifunction device called the [[Pokétch]], short for Pokémon Watch, is also introduced. The [[Pokémon professor|regional Professor]]'s name is [[Professor Rowan]], after [[wp:Rowan|a tree]] like the others, and he allows the player and his or her rival to keep the [[starter Pokémon]] they used against attacking wild Pokémon at the beginning of the game.

A new battle system is used for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In this new battle system, attacks are declared either physical or special by how the attack itself operates, i.e. whether the attack touches the enemy or not, instead of the attack type, as was previously the case. For example, {{m|ThunderPunch}} is now [[physical move|physical]] and {{m|Hyper Beam}} turns into [[special move|special]]. This was initially highly controversial with fans of the series, as it was considered to "waste" some of the Pokémon that were more powerful in [[Generation III]], like {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, though it now allows for a more versatile set of moves to be viable for these Pokémon.

Though it was reported initially that the games would feature {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} starters, this is not the case. The games retain the starters in the type trio of previous generations, {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}}, this time being {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Piplup}}, respectively.

===Contests===
{{main|Pokémon Super Contest}}
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a significant amount of changes have been made to the Pokémon Contests introduced in [[Generation III]], now known as Super Contests.

Instead of making [[Pokéblock]]s with berries, berry-flavored muffins called [[Poffin]] are made. This is done in [[Hearthome City]], though not within the contest hall, instead it is done at the Poffin House, which is near the Pokémon Center in Hearthome. Using the DS's touchscreen, players must stir the Poffin as directed by arrows that appear.

The first round of the contests themselves is similar to the first round in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but instead of relying solely on contest stats, Pokémon must be dressed up using [[Accessory|accessories]] with the stylus within a time limit. Each particular contest will require different accessories, and higher ranks may require more to be put on the Pokémon.

The second round is a dancing round, using buttons on the touch screen to either perform a dance that the others will find hard to mimic (if the player's Pokémon is the main dancer) or to copy the lead Pokémon's dance moves. Each Pokémon gets a turn at being the leader, and the leader must try to dance in time with the music, and so, obviously, so do the background dancers. The A, B, X, and Y buttons also work.

The third round is very similar to the appeals round in Generation III, and the main difference is that there are three judges and only four appeals, rather than one judge and five appeals. A Pokémon will get more points if it is the only Pokémon to perform for a particular judge, less if another one appeals for that judge and so on. The crowd system is still in place, but this time, each judge has a different meter, making it both potentially risky and potentially rewarding to appeal to a judge that all of the other Pokémon are appealing to. In addition, Pokémon will receive bonus points for appeals regardless of the impression on the judge, and points are not added simply for raising a judge's "voltage."

===New gyms===
As is always the case, there are eight new [[Gym]]s in Sinnoh, each with their own type affiliation. The new [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Roark]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Gardenia]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Maylene]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Crasher Wake]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Fantina]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Byron]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Candice]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Volkner]] ({{t|Electric}}).

===Elite Four===
The new [[Elite Four]] is located at the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]]. The Elite trainers are [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Bertha]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Lucian]] ({{t|Psychic}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Cynthia]], who has Pokémon of multiple types.

===New Pokémon===
:: ''See [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]]''
As the first [[Generation IV]] games, Diamond and Pearl were the first sightings of 107 new Pokémon, bringing the total amount to 493.

The new Pokémon began being unveiled in 2004, with the release of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' in Japan, where {{p|Munchlax}} was revealed.

{{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|Fourth-generation Pokémon}} continued being unveiled in 2005, with the Japanese release of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The movie featured {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}.

2006 was crunch time for the fourth generation. The ninth movie, ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', featured {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}}, and {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} were soon confirmed to be on the two games' [[Version mascots|boxart]]. On September 27, all 107 of the new Pokémon's menu icons were revealed on [[Filb.de]].

During the week that followed the games' Japanese release, [[Serebii.net]] featured a "Discovery Trench" that revealed the names and stats of many of the previously-unknown Pokémon to the general public.

====[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Version exclusives]]====
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokémon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of [[Generation IV]] which has that Pokémon available. Alternatively, all Pokémon released prior to these games may be migrated from a [[Generation III]] game.

==Compatibility==
Trading exists between Diamond and Pearl Versions through the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal wireless connection. It connects to {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in the same manner. [[Pokémon egg|Eggs]] received from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and its sequels are also sent through wireless. Diamond and Pearl also have the ability to connect to the {{wp|internet}} with the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi]] system, and also the [[Wii]]. Due to improvements in international linking, some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]].

Diamond and Pearl also maintain backward compatibility with the [[Generation III]] games, however standard trading is not allowed. A player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some Pokémon that could previously not be caught can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

Also, by connecting to the Wii with a Nintendo DS, players can copy their [[party]] Pokémon to their copy of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], as well as [[My Pokémon Ranch]]. However, only Diamond and Pearl are compatible with My Pokémon Ranch, while Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver are all compatible with Pokémon Battle Revolution.

==Reception==
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were critically well received, with Nintendo Power calling them "the ultimate Pokémon experience." <ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/pokemondiamond?q=pokemon 1 Pokemon Diamond (ds) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> The inclusion of Wi-Fi features and the voice chat feature were also praised. However, the games were criticized for their somewhat basic graphics, with IGN commenting "if you're looking for impressive visuals you're not going to get them."<ref>[http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/782/782443p2.html IGN: Pokemon Diamond Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Despite this, Diamond and Pearl received a "Great" score of 8.5/10 on the site.<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/objects/707/707323.html Pokemon Diamond | Pokemon Diamond Version (2007)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

According to {{wp|Famitsu}}, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl sold 1,586,360 units in the four days after its release. On December 27, 2006, it was announced that the two games combined became the first Nintendo DS games to hit five million units shipped.<ref>[http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/2006/12/27/103,1167202517,65081,0,0.html 『ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド･パール』の出荷本数が500万本を突破！ ] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

Sales of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl in Japan exceeded the five million mark in the 29th week of sales (April 9 - 15, 2007).<ref>[[Bulbanews]]: [[n:Diamond, Pearl sales cross 5 million mark in Japan|Diamond, Pearl sales cross 5 million mark in Japan]] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> In the United States, over 533,000 pre-orders were taken before release<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070425074506/http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=11981 NINTENDO ADVISES POKÉMON FANS: PRE-ORDERS TOP 500,000] (Wayward archive) (retrieved January 13, 2010)</ref>, and one million copies were sold within five days.

==Trivia==
* Diamond and Pearl are the first games where:
**The rival's starter Pokémon is not at level 5 during the first rival battle.
**The storage media is not colored.
**The lab of the region's [[Pokémon Professor]] is not in the player's hometown.
**All three starter Pokémon gain a second type through evolution and are utilized in the storyline.
* Pokémon Diamond and Pearl contain many references to {{wp|Internet meme}}s and {{wp|chatspeak}}. This is possibly because the lead translator, [[Nob Ogasawara]], is a member of the {{wp|Something Awful|Something Awful Forums}}.
* The leaders and [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] of Sinnoh do not always use Pokémon of their specialized type. This problem was fixed in {{v2|Platinum}} with an [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number#Platinum expansion|expansion]] added to the Pokédex.
* Diamond and Pearl are the first main series Pokémon games that require their saved data to be deleted before saving a new game. However, the first in the series to have such requirement were [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]].
* Korean characters do not appear in non-Korean games and vice-versa; they appear as empty spaces.
* Diamond and Pearl are also the first two games in which [[baby Pokémon]] previously available only through {{pkmn|breeding}} can be found in the wild, if one doesn't count catching {{p|Wynaut}} on [[Mirage Island]] in the Hoenn-based games.
**Also, certain Pokémon that normally [[Evolution|evolve]] via [[Trade|trading]] may be caught in the wild as well.
* The international versions of Diamond and Pearl are the first main Pokémon games to capitalize the names of proper nouns normally (e.g. Team Galactic and Ultra Ball as opposed to TEAM ROCKET and ULTRA BALL). However, Pokémon names are still written in all capital letters due to backward compatibility with previous games.
*On the back cover of the Australian release of Pokémon Diamond, it states "...as you search for the Pokémon that rules ''space'' in Pokémon Diamond Version." This is an error, as it should say "...as you search for the Pokémon that rules ''time'' in Pokémon Diamond Version." This error is not present on the boxart of other regions.
* Diamond and Pearl, along with the Japanese version of Platinum, are the most compatible Pokémon games, as they can connect with seventeen other games: all main series games of Generation III, IV, and V; the Pokémon Ranger games; [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; and [[Pokémon Ranch]].

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
{{incomplete synopsis book}}
The book starts with an egg floating around in the ocean when suddenly, a submarine barrels through the water, the submarine of [[Phantom]], a dangerous pirate. A metal arm extends out of the submarine and retrieves the egg. The submarine then surfaces, Phantom is just about to grasp the egg when a blonde pirate wearing sunglasses steps forward and grabs it, he then runs off, shutting the automatic doors behind him. The blonde pirate pulls of his disguise, it's Jack Walker the {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}! Jackie takes out a radio and contacts [[Judy]], the head of the Ranger Base, telling her that he had recovered the Egg of the Prince. Jackie runs up to the top of the submarine, he could see his rescue ship nearby. Just then Phantom appears with Chatot, his pet bird, and his first mate Galen. Phantom sends out a Pinsir and a Parasect to catch Jackie but before they could Jackie uses his capture stylus and catches a Mantine. Mantine uses Confuse Ray at Pinsir and Parasect, then, with Jackie on its back it heads towards Jackie's rescue ship.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] are lost with no water left, Max's [[PokéNav]] can't get a signal, which meant they were far from any town. Suddenly Pikachu sees a giant bubble floating in the distance, the friends quickly run towards it to find that there are lots of floating bubbles of water, all with water Pokémon inside them. Also there was a Meditite and a Medicham. The friends meet a teenage girl, after everyone introduces themselves, they find out that the girl is called Lizabeth who belongs to the Marina Group, a group of performers that do underwater shows. After Lizabeth introduces the rest of her family, [[Ship]], [[Meredith]], and {{mov|Kyle}}, everyone is given a glass of cold water. Ash notices that a clown was traveling with the Marina group as well. Max sees a {{p|Buizel}} and plays with it until the Buizel pulls aside a curtain and pushes the button on a jar, lighting it up, the jar seemed to contain an egg. Kyle quickly comes over and closes the curtain. The Marina Group then decide to take Ash and his friends with them to the next town so they could see their show.

===Blurb===
''Ash Ketchum is lost. Brock was sure they were headed in the right direction, but now their PokéNav can't even get a signal. There's no shade, and all of their canteens are dry. But then, Pikachu spots something incredible-a bubble of water floating in midair!''
''The Marina Group, famous for their Water-type Pokémon shows, has set up a camp and is happy to share water with the thirsty crew. but could this friendly family be hiding a secret? The answer will take Ash, May, Max, and Brock from a wooden ship in the dry desert to a pirate chase on the high seas in their most amazing adventure yet!''

'''PokémonWorld''' is a UK based Pokémon community. It offers an alternative to Pokémon players primarily from the United Kingdom as a place to discuss anything to do with the Pokémon series in its entirety. Competitive battling is very encouraged, with tournaments held on a regular basis. There is also plenty of discussion about casual play and all other aspects of Pokémon.

== History ==
In March 2004, Pokérob started the first installment of PokémonWorld.

==Competitive battling==
As this website mainly focuses on competitive battling, it has many forums and threads which discuss these things.

===Battle Shop===
The PokémonWorld Battle Shop was added in September 2009, this was after an agreement with [[ONM]]'s Pokéforum to share this feature. The Battle Shop allows users to search for battles by posting on the thread, the players then battle it out, usually using [[Smogon]] standard rules. The winner of the match then gets given points to spend on a variety of Pokémon, usually some of which have been specially bred with good [[Individual Values]] or egg moves, or [[Effort Values|EV]] trained. There are other ways of gaining points to be spent in the Battle Shop, these are either donating Pokémon to the Battle Shop or to take part in a special competition or tournament that awards its winners in Battle Shop points.

===Dragon's Den===
This forum is named after the [[Dragon's Den]] from [[Johto]]-based games. This forum specializes in the discussion of teams, and the rating of teams. People post their team in this forum and other members rate it, the best advice comes from people who have been given team rating badges acknowledging their knowledge on competitive battling. Users can also post their war stories in this thread, describing their various wins or losses against other people in an entertaining and informative format.

==General Pokémon discussion==
As like any other Pokémon fansite, PokémonWorld has forums for the general discussion of Pokémon.

===Spear Pillar===
Named after the [[Spear Pillar]] in [[Sinnoh]], this forum is where the users can discuss all things fourth generation related. This tends to include more complicated discussion of the finesse of fourth generation competitive battling down to a simple poll asking which Pokémon game they would rather buy.

===Pokémon Center===
This forum is for the discussion of Pokémon which does not relate to the main series of RPGs. This includes the {{pkmn|anime}} and the spin off games such as {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}.

===Victory Road===
This forum is named after [[Victory Road]] from the games which leads to the [[Elite Four]]. This forum gives its users a chance to talk about the older games, which are not part of the fourth generation. It gives the users a chance to ask questions if they get stuck in a various game, or discuss what they found best or worst in each game.

===Generation V speculation===
This forum is where the users of PokémonWorld discuss the upcoming fifth generation of Pokémon. It is kept updated with the latest news and gossip, and allows users to speculate on what is coming, as well as to say what they are wanting and expecting out of the fifth generation.

===Pokémon TCG===
The discussion of the trading card game is a fairly new addition to the PokémonWorld website. This forum gives users the chance to discuss deck building, as well as to discuss various strategies they may want to use.

== Miscellaneous discussion==
These forums give the users a chance to play games such as Mafia, or to contribute fanart and fanfiction to the website.

===Lilycove Gallery===
This forum is named after [[Lilycove Museum|Lilycove Gallery]] due to the more artistic type of threads found here. In this forum there is often signature and banner competitions which normally have a special pokémon prize for the winner. This forum also gives the user to post fanart as well as fanfiction which they have come up with.

===Contest Hall===
This forum is where the users of PokémonWorld get to play forum games such as mafia which has proven to be an extremely popular part of PokémonWorld. It also gives people the opportunity to come up with other forum games to keep the members of the site entertained.

== Official Tournaments ==
PokémonWorld hosts tournaments regularly and while allowing its members to put ideas forward as well as direct them, official tournaments are always hosted by staff members.

=== Official PokémonWorld Tournament ===
The Official PokémonWorld Tournament is hosted once a year on a Pokémon battle simulator, currently [[Shoddy Battle]]. It is a single elimination tournament usually featuring at least 32 combatants, using the Smogon standard rulings for the Overused tier.

=== Official PokémonWorld Wi-Fi Tournament ===
In order to cater for the masses of players that prefer Nintendo Wi-Fi Pokémon battles, PokémonWorld hosts a tournament over this feature on the Nintendo DS system. Entrants can use any version of the game from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver. It is a single elimination tournament usually featuring at least 32 combatants, using the Smogon standard rulings for the Overused tier.

=== Official PokémonWorld Tour ===
The Official PokémonWorld Tour has a very different tournament format when compared with the other official tournaments on PokémonWorld. Over a set course of time, usually nine weeks, a series of real-time tournaments varying in tiers will take place. It's usually between 9-18 different tournaments, with players earning more points dependent on how far they get in each one. The points will be tallied up each week and once the nine weeks of tournaments are over, the eight players with the highest points will be entered into a seeded, single elimination tournament to determine the overall winner. These seeded matches will be done in a best of three format, over three different tiers - Overused, Underused, and Uber.

== IRC ==
PokémonWorld's IRC channel can be found at #pokemonworld on the SynIRC server and is run by user Minijinx. It's also used as the place to go to if one wants to enter the PokémonWorld Tour, so the host of each tournament can speak with all entrants at once in real-time.

Spin-off Pokémon games

2010-10-19T02:09:20Z

Compass:

'''Spin-off Pokémon games''' are [[Pokémon games]] which do not fit the model used by the [[Version|main series]] and which are not developed by [[Game Freak]]. These games vary widely in genre.

The [[Pokémon mini]] was a small console that only had games of a Pokémon theme.

== List of handheld and console spin-off Pokémon games ==

Region

2010-10-19T02:03:55Z

Compass:

[[File:RegionsMoviesMap.jpg|thumb|right|350px|A map of the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions.]]
A '''region''' (Japanese: '''地方''' ''chihō'') is an organized area of the [[Pokémon world]]. There are at most sixteen known regions that have appeared in the various Pokémon canons.

==In the main series==
Five regions have appeared in the [[version|main series]] of Pokémon games. They are, in order of appearance, [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Isshu]]. Each region has been the setting of at least three games in the generation in which it debuts.

The regions are structured similarly. Typically, a region will have its own [[Pokémon League]], comprised of eight [[Gym Leader]]s. Once these eight are defeated, Trainers can challenge the regional [[Elite Four]], which may or may not be shared with another, nearby region (so far, Johto is the only region not to have its own Elite Four; it shares one with Kanto). Each one also typically has a [[Pokémon professor]], who teach youngsters about Pokémon and give out [[starter Pokémon]] to them. There is usually a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] operating within the region, who uses Pokémon to further their goals.

Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what legends there are waiting to be uncovered. Visitors from another region quickly realize that the region they are visiting is far from their home, both in the way of the climate, and in the culture of the people there.

In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Professor Oak]] explains that [[Sinnoh]], [[Kanto]], and [[Hoenn]] (and probably [[Johto]] and others) are part of a larger [[Pokémon nation|country]], whose name has yet to be revealed. This concept is similar to the {{wp|regions of Japan}}, which the Pokémon world has been [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|modeled after]], and from which the Pokémon nation's Kanto region takes its name. The fifth generation's region, Isshu, is known to be far away from Kanto and Johto, and as such may not be part of this country.

File:Isshu.jpg|Isshu, in {{game|Black and White|s}}
</gallery>

==In side games==
The regions in the side series differ dramatically from the regions in the main series such as Johto and Sinnoh. Regions like [[Fiore]] and [[Almia]] are much smaller and have different cultures. They prefer Pokémon as pets instead of tools for battling. [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are not present in the regions. Pokémon are not kept inside [[Poké Ball]]s and wild Pokémon can be seen wandering cities as well as routes. Pokémon Rangers act as authority, helping Pokémon and people in need. There are no individual gyms, an Elite Four or a Champion. However, Rangers can take the Capture Challenge to test their skills. Despite their peaceful natures, there is however, [[villainous teams]] that operate within both regions that capture and use Pokémon to further their goals of world domination. [[Team Dim Sun|One such villainous team]] has been know to brainwash Pokémon using their [[Gigaremo units|advanced technology]], causing them to lose their memories and wreak havoc.

The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series takes place in a region that is populated solely by Pokémon; humans do not live there. Most Pokémon live in dungeons, as there is shown to be hardly any modernized communities among Pokémon themselves. The only towns shown are [[Pokémon Square]], [[Treasure Town]], and [[Shaymin Village]], all of which are very small. Some of the Pokémon within them form exploration teams that explore dungeons and help Pokémon in need. There is an associated federation similar to the Ranger Union in Fiore and Almia that organizes all activities for rescue and exploration teams. The [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]] is where beginning exploration teams live and learn the basics. The [[Makuhita Dojo]] and [[Marowak Dojo]]s are places somewhat similar to Gyms in the main regions where exploration teams hone their skills.

[[Pokémon Snap]] is set on [[Pokémon Island]], an isolated reserve home to many species of Pokémon. It appears to have a relationship with the [[Kanto]] region of the main series, as [[Professor Oak]] appears to have some authority over the island. [[Pokémon Channel]] is set in [[Mintale Town]], which is inhabited by many species of Pokémon. Humans may live there too; there is at least one suburban area. [[Holon]] and the [[TCG Islands]] appear in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|eponymous video games]]. The relationship of these regions with the others is unclear.

</gallery>

==In the anime==
The protagonists of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Ash Ketchum]] and his {{ashfr|traveling companions}}, have visited the first four main series regions (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh) in the same order the games have been released. To accommodate plots, story arcs, and episode numbers, regions in the anime are much larger then their game counterparts. The regions are shown to have a number of cities and towns that are [[List of anime locations by region|not present in the games]]. In some cases, some areas are moved to a different region from their game counterparts. For example, the [[Hoenn]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in {{game|Emerald}} was not in [[Hoenn]] in the anime. It was located in [[Kanto]], with the different facilities scattered all over the region rather being located on an island.

Additionally, one region exists in the anime that does not exist in any video game. The [[Orange Archipelago]] was the tropical setting for the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|second season]] of the anime. Located south of Kanto and Johto, it differs from the standard region formula, with only four gyms and no Pokémon League. This truncated version of events is likely due to the Orange Islands being a [[filler episode|"filler" arc]] while Nintendo prepared the release of the [[Generation II|second generation]] of Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* All main series regions introduced in odd numbered generations have had at least one gym have more than one [[Gym Leader]] depending on either [[Generation]] or Version.
* The names of the five regions visited in the main series games are all composed of four kana: カントー (Kanto), ジョウト (Johto), ホウエン (Hoenn), シンオウ (Sinnoh), and イッシュ (Isshu).

'''Murph''' (Japanese: '''イマチ''' ''Imachi'') was a {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} from the [[Ringtown]] Ranger base. His partner then was a {{p|Slowpoke}}, who is apparently the faster of the two. Murph was most likely a rank 1 Ranger and is highly incompetent, often dropping his [[Capture Styler]] even just taking it out of his pocket. Due to this, he was often given rather unimportant missions. Sometimes, when he had no mission, he would make up his own mission. Murph seems to be popular among the other Rangers for his personality.

In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, he is now the PR representative of the [[Ranger Union]]. His father (known as [[Pamur]] due to being ''Murph's Pa'') is the leader of a research team in the [[Hia Valley]] and can be found in the [[Shiver Camp]]. His dad gave him a gift from the valley, which is eventually found out to be a shard from the [[The King of Almia and the Three Princes|Blue Gem]]. The gem was eventually used to make the [[Vatonage Styler]] so Murph went out on his own to [[Almia Castle]] to get a new shard.

He sometimes makes contests for the Rangers, like capturing the seven [[Eeveelution]]s. The winner receives a wood carved trophy and gets to listen to Murph's song with 102 verses.

Murph is also present in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, where he is still the Ranger Union's PR chief. He is introduced to the {{player}} in a flashback at the beginning of the game, then travels to the [[Oblivia]] islands in order to deliver a message from [[Professor Hastings]]. He remains an important supporting character, commanding a wooden ship and providing transport among the islands.

==Murph's missions in the first game==
* Find the missing toenail clippers
* Trail the [[Go-Rock Squad]] (with [[Aria]])
* How far can you go in 100 steps?
* Build a sandcastle (in [[Summerland]])
* Cheer up the [[Spenser (Ranger)|leader]]
* Replace lightbulbs
* {{DL|Ranger Net|Rescue Celebi!}} (with the player)
* Go to [[Professor Hastings]]'s lab and search for Pokémon reference documents
* Write his own theme song

==Murph's theme song==
"The Theme for Murph"

<ab>''Go, go, go, Ranger go!
Ranger Murph's on the turf. ~♪
Ooh, yeah, yeah!

He's always there to take the call!
You can knock him down, but he won't stay down!
(Spin that styler, baby!)
He's always willing to answer the call!

Go, go, go, Ranger fly!
Ranger Murph's on the surf!
Ooh, yeah, yeah! He's so fly!</ab>

==Trivia==
*For unknown reasons, he always says "Yes, Roger!" when receiving commands in the English version of the first Ranger game - likely to mimic the way people affirm commands over walkie-talkie.
*His favorite kind of Pokémon is {{p|Hippowdon}}.

'''Beg, Burrow and Steal''' (Japanese: '''ナックラーとビブラーバ！幻の湖！''' ''{{tt|Nuckrar|Trapinch}} and Vibrava! Lake of Illusion!'') is the 106th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 380th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 9, 2004 and in the United States on December 17, 2005.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
As the episode opens, our group is feeling a little lost on [[Izabe Island]] -- they're out of PokéNav range and Brock can't find an appropriate map. To make matters worse, the island is a large desert full of craters of some kind. {{Ash}} speculates that their might be something in them and throws a rock into the nearest crater. A strange orange head pops out and swallows the rock. Ash checks the [[Pokédex]] about it. The Pokédex reveals that it's a {{P|Trapinch}}, a burrowing desert Pokémon with powerful jaws capable of eating sand and rock. The group realizes that the craters are made by Trapinch.
Not long after, [[Elisa]], a local ranger, comes in her car and tells the crew that they are trespassing in a dangerous area. While [[Max]] restrains {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}} explains that they didn't know the area was restricted. Shortly after commenting that the region doesn't look dangerous, Ash loses his footing and falls in a crater. Elisa saves him by throwing a [[Escape Rope|rope]]. She explains to the group that there is an underground tunnel network known as ˝The Trapinch Underground Labyrinth˝ linking all of the craters, and that they should do everything possible to avoid falling in.
Elisa starts to drive the group to safety, but they soon encounter a strange man running from a charging {{P|Donphan}}. Elisa says ˝not again˝ and calls out her {{P|Meganium}}, which releases a {{m|Sweet Scent|scent}} from its petals, calming the Donphan. The unknown man thanks Elisa for saving him "again". Elisa quickly introduces the man as {{ho|Hal}}, an accident-prone researcher.

Hal explains that he is looking for a Trapinch with a transmitter on its back, which he's using to search for a secret underground lake in ˝The {{P|Trapinch}} Labyrinth˝. Hal tells them the story from his youth, claiming that he discovered the lake when he was lost in labyrinth himself. While trying to find a way out of the maze, he lost consciousness. When Hal woke up he saw a huge, beautiful lake with many Trapinch gathered around it. All of the Trapinch [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{P|Vibrava}} at the same time before leaving. Without explanation, Hal all of a sudden found himself back outside of the labyrinth. That's why he started his career as a [[Pokémon Researcher]]. The group spots the transmitter-laden Trapinch heading into a crater.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] watches the group from underground and decide (predictably) to steal Pikachu. They plan to surprise the group from underneath with their {{P|Diglett}} machine and grab {{AP|Pikachu}} (and they execute this part of the plan quite successfully). Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the Team Rocket machine is insulated against electrical attack. {{an|Brock}} calls out his {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}} and orders it to use {{m|Water Gun}}. The force of the attack forces the Diglett into one of the craters and many Trapinch start [[Bite (move)|Biting]] it, quickly reducing it to scrap metal. Team Rocket and Pikachu fall through the mud at the bottom of the hole. Ash goes to save Pikachu, and Elisa goes with him, with The transmitter Trapinch not far behind. Team Rocket, Ash's Pikachu, Ash with Elisa and Trapinch, all fall to different parts of the labyrinth. The rest of the group and Hal use the Trapinch's transmitter to track them -- luckily Ash doesn't want to leave the labyrinth without Pikachu, so he and Elisa do follow the transmitter Trapinch.

Elsewhere, Team Rocket encounters a Trapinch and they decide to catch it for [[Giovanni]]. {{MTR}} thinks that the Trapinch could crack walnuts for him. While they think about it, Trapinch saunters away -- but Team Rocket spots Hal and decide to follow him. Meanwhile, Max, May, and Brock fall just in front of Ash and Elisa. Soon after, water from an unknown source begins to flood the tunnel -- the group runs for their lives and they end up in a lake that Hal was talking about with Pikachu. The transmitter Trapinch and Hal arrive soon thereafter. Many Trapinch, including the transmitter one, assemble around the lakeside and evolve. As the Vibrava fly off, Team Rocket makes their next greedy move and captures them in a large balloon-based net. Brock calls out his Ludicolo, and Elisa calls her Meganium. Ludicolo uses {{m|Bullet Seed}} and Meganium uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to set the Vibrava free. [[Jessie]] tells her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to use {{m|Poison Sting}} and [[James]] tells his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to use {{m|Pin Missile}}. The Vibrava defend the group with {{m|Supersonic}}. With a burst from Pikachu, Team Rocket blasts off again, and the Vibrava airlift the group out of the deep cavern. At the end of the episode, Hal resolves to keep the underground lake a secret, revealing he only wanted to find it so Elisa would believe his story.

'''Entei''' (Japanese: '''エンテイ''' ''Entei'') is a {{type2|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

It is, along with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}}, one of the [[legendary beasts]] created by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after the burning of the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]. Out of the three beasts, Entei is said to represent the flames that burned the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Entei is a massive {{wp|lion}}-like Pokemon with some {{wp|mastiff}} qualities. It is covered in brown fur with a long, thick mane covering its neck. It has gray plates surrounding the cape that makes it look as if smoke is coming out of a crater on its back, and a plate beneath the cream belly fur on its chest. Entei has white paws with apparently retractable claws and brown paw pads, and black cuff-like bands on its legs. It has a red face with a white plate that resembles a handlebar mustache on its face, and a three-pointed yellow crest on its forehead. Entei's head appears to resemble a {{wp|kabuto}}, a samurai helmet.

It is said that an Entei is born whenever a volcano erupts. It is also said that whenever Entei roars, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world.

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

====Special abilities====
Entei can shoot flames that are hotter than volcanic magma. It also sports limited mental powers. When it roars, it can make a volcano erupt on another part of the globe.

===Behavior===
Entei races headlong around the land.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
As a member of the legendary beast trio, Entei are constantly on the move with no set place to settle in. However, it is speculated that Entei (as well as the other [[legendary beasts]]) is not a unique species, as some Pokédex entries rumor that an Entei is born every time a new volcano is born and, at a point in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, [[Solana]] or [[Lunick]] says "Wow! ''An'' Entei!" rather than saying "Wow! Entei!"

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Entei anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Entei in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Entei (movie 3)]]====
Entei was a major character in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. In the movie, an illusionary Entei appeared to [[Molly Hale]] after she made a wish on the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}}.

====Other====
A real Entei first appeared in the episode ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]''.

A shiny Entei appeared alongside {{p|Celebi}}, and the other members of its [[Legendary beasts|trio]] in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Entei was used by the [[Mirage Master]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

Entei made a small cameo at the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

A Entei appeared in a [[Team Rocket]] fantasy in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble]]''.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
Entei was awakened by {{adv|Yellow}} along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] looking for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to help them defeat the [[Masked Man]] to free {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Entei eventually pairs up with [[Blaine]], and later {{adv|Silver}}. In this manga, Entei's fire has a healing effect, burning away disease and evil auras. It is also the move capable of permanently melting away the Masked Man's moving ice sculptures, which typically repair themselves from any attack. After it saves Silver and {{adv|Gold}}'s lives after their defeat against the Masked Man in the [[Lake of Rage]], Blaine uses this fire to burn away the {{p|Mewtwo}} cells infecting his arm, and [[DJ Mary]]'s {{p|Smeargle}} copies this power using {{m|Sketch}}. Once the Masked Man is defeated, Entei once again joins its comrades and roams the land of Johto once again. It has not been seen since.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Entei (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Entei.png|220px|right|thumb|Entei in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Entei unleashes a volcanic {{m|Fire Spin}} that deals a lot of damage to any opponents that get trapped in it.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Gordor]] considers Entei to be the best and most loyal of the legendary trio. The player captures it when it is first unleashed in the [[Jungle Relic]] but it is still taken by the [[Go-Rock Squad]], using their new Super Styler. Entei later acts as the final boss of the game.

==Trivia==
* Entei shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Typhlosion}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
* Entei is somehow able to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, although it lacks a visible tail.
**However, the cloud-like flowing mane on its back slightly resembles a tail.
* Entei is one of the fifteen Pokémon whose numbers are the same in more than one Pokédex-like listing, sharing its [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] numbers.
*Entei has the highest base HP of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
*In {{v2|Crystal}}, if the player plays Entei's cry in the Pokédex, then switches to Suicune or Raikou before the cry ends, the cry of Suicune or Raikou is changed.
* The order that the beasts appear in the National Pokédex is the order of the events that happened at the Burned Tower: the lightning that started the fire (Raikou), the fire that consumed the Brass Tower (Entei), and the rain that quenched the fire (Suicune).
*In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the front of Entei's neck is covered with fur, which doesn't correspond with its official artwork. This is corrected in Crystal.

===Origin===
Entei is based on {{wp|Chinese guardian lions}}, or Lions of Foo, creatures that are a mix of fully grown male lions and stocky, short muzzled breeds of dogs. (Originally, there were two different kinds of these statues: ones that were just pure lion, and the ones that were lion-dogs. The pure lion and lion-dog distiguishment still exists today, though most don't know of it; pure lions are seen more often with their mouth open and depicted more shaggy. It's possible Entei is also just based on this version.)
They are often created in pairs, the male snarling or playing with a ball and the female with a cub. Their original significance was serving as guardians (like gargoyles upon churches) at Buddhist temples. The image of a ferocious beast would scare intruders away. This concurs with Entei being seen as a guardian in the 3rd movie, protecting Molly and her allies.

Like a real lion, Entei boasts a regal mane, long retractable claws, and a strong bulky yet agile body. His face is short and bears resemblance to a lion's skull- short and wedged, but with the unique flatness that ShiShi statues also bore. The yellow design on his head could be interpreted as a stylized crown or a kabuto helmet, and the grey above his mouth as a mustache, giving him a noble look. Lions are famed throughout Japan and China for being symbols of strength, paternity, justice, courage, and many other traits, they are in many myths and fables throughout time being heroes and legends. In China, the lion is the master of all felines, the defender of law, and the protector of sacred buildings. It is a symbol of power and success, and of royality and strenghth.
Lions are also popularly known as symbols of fire.

Entei's roar is known throughout the Pokemon world as a sign of a new volcano erupting, and a new Entei being born.
Entei may also have some inspiration from the {{wp|Aterui}}, the chief of the Emishi, who was later labeled as a demon called 'Aka-gashira' (Red-Head). It also has the appearance of a {{wp|volcano}}, its head is volcano-shaped and has a bright yellow eruption-flame on the top, and the red {{wp|magma}} is seen on the side of its face, it has volcanic smoke leaving from the back and has two spiky mountains on the back too.

====Name origin====
Entei's Japanese name is likely a combination of 炎天 ''enten'', blazing heat, or just 炎 ''en'' – an alternate reading of ''honō'' – flame, and 皇帝 ''kōtei'', emperor. Its name can thus be written in kanji as 炎帝 (identical to the Chinese "{{wp|Yan Emperor|Yándì}}").

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Entei
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Entei
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 앤테이 ''Entei''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 炎帝 ''Yán Dì'' - From its Japanese name. Literally "Flame emperor". Shares its name with the ancient Chinese emperor, Yandi.

'''Probopass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダイノーズ''' ''Dainose'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nosepass}} via [[level]]-up while in [[Mt. Coronet]] or [[Electric Rock Cave]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Probopass has small round eyes, contrasting Nosepass's perpetually closed ones. Its nose is much bigger in proportion to its body, and it has a bushy mustache that appears to consist of iron filings caught by its magnetic nose. It has three small objects on its sides and back that look like Nosepass; they are called "Mini-Noses" by the [[Pokédex]]. These "Mini-Noses" can detach to form new {{p|Nosepass}}. It also has a big hat-like magnet on top of its head.

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

====Special abilities====
It has fairly strong {{a|Magnet Pull|magnetic abilities}}, especially around its large nose. It also possesses the ability to control smaller units called "Mini-Noses".

===Behavior===
Probopass tend to sit still on rocky islands for long periods of time. They are not aggressive and are content to relax.

===Habitat===
Probopass live inside [[Mt. Coronet]] and on rocky islands, but rarely appear.

Probopass appeared in ''[[DP058|Nosing 'Round The Mountain!]]'', under [[Alan]]'s ownership. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'' where it was shown to have defeated [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Gengar}}.

Several Probopass appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' together with its pre-evolution, {{p|Nosepass}}.

Another Probopass appeared in ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Probopass and {{p|Registeel}} both have the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
* As [[Mt. Coronet]] is not accessible in {{v|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is impossible to evolve Nosepass into a Probopass in the games. The same applies for {{p|Magnezone}}. Both have to be traded from {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to be obtained.
** This also occurs for {{p|Glaceon}} and {{p|Leafeon}}, who both evolve in Route 217 and [[Eterna Forest]] respectively, which are both [[Sinnoh]] locations {{v|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Probopass learns a new move every six levels (1 [start], 7, 13 ,19, ...).

===Origin===
Probopass is based on the {{wp|pukau}}-wearing {{wp|moai}} statues of {{wp|Easter Island}} and a compass magnet with iron filings attached to it. Probopass's design may draw inspiration from the popular American toy {{wp|Mr. Potato Head}}.

====Name origin====
Probopass is a combination of ''{{wp|proboscis}}'' and ''{{wp|compass}}''. Dainose's name is a combination of 大 ''dai'', big, and ''nose'' – thus literally meaning "big nose."

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Voluminas - From ''voluminös'' ({{wp|volume|voluminous}}) and ''Nase'' (nose).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tarinorme - From ''tarin'' (nose) and ''énorme'' (huge).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 대코파스 ''Daekopass''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 大朝北鼻 ''Dà Cháo Běi Bí'' - Literally "Big north-facing nose". Contains 朝北鼻, the Chinese name for Nosepass.

'''Nosepass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノズパス''' ''Nosepass'') is a {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Probopass}} when [[level]]ed up in either [[Mt. Coronet]] or [[Electric Rock Cave]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nosepass are Pokémon composed of hard, angular, bluish-colored rock. They closely resemble {{wp|Easter Island Heads}}, as their main body is in the shape of one. Their most prominent feature are their bright red, triangular noses, which are highly magnetic. They also have arms and legs, but don't appear to have any joints and have small, circular holes on the undersides. Nosepass has similar circular holes on where one might expect its ears to be, and its eyes, covered by dark, somewhat mask-like markings, seem perpetually closed in appearance.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Their noses can function as {{wp|electromagnet}}s that point north. They cannot face each other since they all have the same polarity. Nosepass’s magnetism is stronger in cold seasons.

===Behavior===
It usually stands in one spot with its nose pointing north. It's said to be unmoving, but it actually can shift slightly. When endangered, Nosepass may protect itself by raising its magnetism and drawing iron objects to its body.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Nosepass can be found in caves.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
This Pokémon apparently feeds on prey that are attracted by its magnetism. This may attract {{p|Magnemite}} (due to their documented liking for electronics and magnetic sources) that may not be edible.

==In the anime==
[[File:Roxanne and Nosepass.PNG|190px|right|thumb|Nosepass in the anime]]
[[Roxanne]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Rustboro City]], has a Nosepass which appeared in ''[[AG016|A Winner By a Nosepass]]''. It was used in a gym battle against [[Ash Ketchum]].

In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', a young man named [[Hank]] used his Nosepass to track down {{Ash}}'s missing [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]].

In ''[[DP058|Nosing 'Round the Mountain!]]'', Ash battled a boy named [[Alan]] and his Nosepass at [[Mt. Coronet]]. The Nosepass then evolved into {{p|Probopass}}.

A Nosepass also appeared in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''.

A group of Nosepass appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' together with its evolution, {{p|Probopass}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Roxanne]]'s main Pokémon is a Nosepass. During her battle against {{Adventures|Sapphire}} she used Nosepass's {{A|Magnet Pull}} so that her {{p|Aron}} cannot be switched. She saves its Poké Ball inside a hollowed-out book.

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===
[[Roxanne]]'s main Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga is Nosepass. Roxanne's Nosepass first appears in ''[[PMRS09|Clefairy's Training Camp!!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

|rubydex=Nosepass's magnetic nose is always pointed to the north. If two of these Pokémon meet, they cannot turn their faces to each other when they are close because their magnetic noses repel one another.
|sapphiredex=Nosepass had been said to be completely unmoving, with its magnetic nose pointed due north. However, close observation has revealed that the Pokémon actually moves by a little over 3/8 of an inch every year.
|emeralddex=Its body emits a powerful magnetism. It feeds on prey that is pulled in by the force. Its magnetism is stronger in cold [[seasons]].
|frlgdex=Its magnetic nose consistently faces north. Travelers check Nosepass to get their bearings.
|dpdex=Its nose is a magnet. As a result, this Pokémon always keeps its face pointing north.
|platinumdex=When endangered, it may protect itself by raising its magnetism and drawing iron objects to its body.
|hgssdex=If two of these meet, they cannot get too close because their noses repel each other.

==Trivia==
* Nosepass is the only pure {{type2|Rock}} whose evolution is dual-type, as {{p|Probopass}} is {{2t|Rock|Steel}}.
* Nosepass is one of the three Pokémon to evolve at a certain area; the other two are {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Magneton}}.
** Out of the three, Magneton and Nosepass evolve at [[Mount Coronet]].
* Nosepass is the only Pokémon which undergoes evolution in a specific area that is catchable in that same area.
* Nosepass is the only Pokémon with {{a|Magnet Pull}} that is not itself a Steel-type, thus not affected by it.
** Its evolution Probopass is, however.
* Nosepass is the only non-[[Generation I]] Pokémon with a total [[EV yield]] of 1 to evolve into a Pokémon with a total EV yield of 3. The only other Pokémon to do so are {{p|Paras}} (into {{p|Parasect}}) and {{p|Slowpoke}} (who can evolve into {{p|Slowking}}, as well as {{p|Slowbro}} (who has an EV yield of 2)).
* Nosepass and its evolution {{p|Probopass}} are the only {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon that learn {{m|Discharge}} by level up.

===Origin===
It is probably based on the {{wp|Moai}} statues of {{wp|Easter Island}}.
====Name origin====
Nosepass's name may be a combination of ''nose'' and ''{{wp|compass}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nasgnet - Derived from ''nase'' (nose) and ''magnet.''
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tarinor - From ''narine'' (nostril), and ''nord'' (north).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 코코파스 ''Cocopass''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 朝北鼻 ''Cháo Běi Bí'' - Literally "North-facing nose".

Colosseum Master (Trainer class)

2010-10-17T08:36:34Z

Compass:

A '''Colosseum Master''' (Japanese: '''コロシアムマスター''' ''Colosseum Master'') is a type of {{pkmn|Trainer}} that debuted in [[Generation IV]]. So far, they have only appeared in {{g|Battle Revolution}}.

Colosseum Masters are heads of Colosseums, like [[Colosseum Leader]]s. They are distinguishable from Colosseum Leaders by the fact that Colosseum Masters don't cosplay as [[Pokémon]], and that all Colosseum Leaders have the same battle music, as opposed to Colosseum Masters, who each have unique battle music that can only be heard while battling that Colosseum Master.

Colosseum Masters are different due to that they follow unique character models.
There are only three Trainers known as Colosseum Masters: [[Colosseum Master Joe|Joe]], [[Sashay]], and [[Kruger]].

Oscar and Andi

2010-10-17T07:38:03Z

Compass:

[[File:OscarAndi.png|thumb|right|230px|Oscar and Andi]]
'''Oscar''' (Japanese: '''オスカー''' ''Oscar'') and '''Andi''' (Japanese: '''アンドリュー''' ''Andrew'') are a young couple from [[Hoenn]] who are deeply in [[shipping|love]] with each other. They are the [[Character of the day|characters of the day]] in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''. Oscar is voiced by 千葉一伸 ''Isshin Chiba'' in Japanese and [[Wayne Grayson]] in English. Andi is voiced by 川瀬晶子 ''Akiko Kawase'' in Japanese and Kate Petterle in English. They have been based off the {{tc|Young Couple}} Trainer class, though they are much better dressed than the game class.

Oscar and Andi love taking part in [[double battle]]s with their {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}. They also claim to have a knack for spotting couples in love. When they spotted {{Ash}} and {{an|May}} arguing, they claimed that each had [[AdvanceShipping|romantic feelings]] for the other. Ash and May's persistent arguing, combined with this accusation, diminished their concentration, and the enamored couple were able to defeat them without a problem. Similarly, they saw [[Jessie]] and [[James]], and claimed that, they too, were a [[RocketShipping|couple]]. Even though [[Team Rocket]] was able to look past this, they were still defeated.

==Trivia==
[[File:Temaculook-a-like.PNG|left|thumb|left|Oscar and Andi look-alikes]]
* Their names and style of dress may be a reference to the the manga ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}'', about a girl named Oscar who crossdresses while living in France and falls in love with a man named André.
* Their outfits have a resemblance to the outfits that Jessie and James wore in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''.
* Two of the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s from ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' had strong resemblances to Oscar and Andi, the only notable difference being hair color. The Andi look-alike is in the top left corner and the Oscar look-alike is in the bottom right corner.
** Coincidentally, [[Temacu]] owns a Nidorina and a Nidorino, and a look-alike of her appears in the same episode.

Colosseum Leader (Trainer class)

Compass:

A '''Colosseum Leader''' (Japanese: '''コロシアムリーダー''' ''Colosseum Leader'') is a type of {{pkmn|Trainer}} that debuted in [[Generation IV]]. So far, they have only appeared in {{G|Battle Revolution}}.

Colosseum Leaders are heads of Colosseums, like {{tc|Colosseum Master}}s. They are distinguishable from Colosseum Masters by the fact that Colosseum Leaders all [[Pokémon Cosplay|cosplay as Pokémon]], while the Colosseum Masters do not, and that all Colosseum Leaders have the same battle music, as opposed to Colosseum Masters, who each have unique battle music that can only be heard while battling that Colosseum Master.

There are only six Trainers known as Colosseum Leaders: [[Colosseum Leader Taylor|Taylor]], [[Colosseum Leader Marina|Marina]], [[Rosie]], [[Voldon]], [[Terrell]], and [[Dusty]].

Despite dressing up as a Pokémon, most Colosseum Masters (short of Taylor, who has a {{p|Pachirisu}} outfit) do not use the Pokémon they dress up as the first time the are faced. Some will use the pre-evolutions of their outfit, while Terrel and Marina (who wear outfits of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} respectively) don't use their outfit Pokémon until the Colosseum rank is rather high.

The '''Battle Subway''' (Japanese: '''バトルサブウェイ''' ''Battle Subway'') is a facility found in {{game|Black and White|s}}, and is the [[Isshu]] equivalent of the [[Battle Tower]]. The Battle Subway Station is located in [[Raimon City]].

==Challenges==
There are eight different subways for the player to choose from, seven of which can be battled in. Each subway is fundamentally the same, having a set of seven carts with a single Trainer to be battled. After the seventh battle, the subway will stop and the player will get off at the station and be awarded [[Battle Point]]s. They can then choose to continue to the next subway or return to the main station. The player is allowed to heal their Pokémon between battles.

The level of the player's Pokémon will be reduced to level 50, and the number of Pokémon to be chosen will vary depending on the subway line.

===Dark Green Line===
Easy Single Battles - 3 Pokémon per Trainer

===Green Line===
Harder Single Battles - 4 Pokémon per Trainer

Pokémon Stadium 2 (stage)

2010-10-17T05:42:20Z

Compass:

[[File:Pokémon Stadium 2 stage.png|200px|right|thumb|Pokémon Stadium 2 in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
'''Pokémon Stadium 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスタジアム２''' ''Pokémon Stadium 2'') is the new version of the [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Pokémon Stadium stage]] found in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. It is named and designed after [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|the prequel's]] Pokémon Stadium stage, also available in Brawl after having played on {{tt|this stage|Pokémon Stadium 2}} ten times. While its stage location simply is defined to as ''[[Pokémon]]'', it is likely to be located in either [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]]. Pokémon Stadium 2 is also where Jigglypuff is found and battled in [[the Subspace Emissary]].

It is the main stage for {{p|Pikachu}} and a character new to the Super Smash Bros. series, [[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]]. The song that plays there is a mix of the music that plays while inside a [[Gym]] and the music that plays when a [[Pokémon]] is [[evolution|evolving]], the [[wild Pokémon]] {{pkmn|battle}} music from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and the Main Theme, but with more to be unlocked. The Stadium has in many ways gone under change. Now the ground beneath the stage is visible unlike Pokémon Stadium where darkness is all that can be seen. The giant metropolis surrounding Pokémon Stadium 2 can be seen, along with the night sky and stars. The location of Pokémon Stadium 2 is currently unknown. With its predecessor in [[Kanto]], it can be assumed to be situated in [[Johto]], but it can also be [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]]. The large screen, still situated in the background, is semi-transparent now and retains the duty of alerting players of terrain change.

==Modes==
In each of the modes, players will also see guest Pokémon.

*'''Basic Mode''': Although with improvements, still identical to the one in Melee, except that there are two lines in the field.
*'''{{t|Ice}} Mode''': This houses a roof which doubles as a platform. The background also houses a big chunk of ice and a small building with a window. The stage itself is slippery. {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Snorunt}} appear as guests on this stage.
*'''{{t|Ground}} Mode''': Based on a construction site, it houses a large pile of dirt with spades and a wheel barrow. Also a stone with two platforms built into it hosts a {{p|Cubone}} and a [[fossil]] of {{p|Omanyte}}/{{p|Omastar}}. Finally embedded in the ground is the fossil of an {{p|Aerodactyl}} and the guest Pokémon {{p|Dugtrio}} situated next to the structure.
*'''{{t|Flying}} Mode''': Here all characters' jumps are substantially increased. When a character falls, the speed of their decent is significantly decreased. The background also houses three windmills, but besides that the terrain is relatively flat. The guest Pokémon include {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, and {{p|Hoppip}}.
*'''{{t|Electric}} Mode''': A series of conveyor belts line the bottom of the screen moving players towards the edge of the stage. {{p|Electivire}} and {{p|Magnezone}} can be seen in the background.{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Sakurai cat.png|thumb|left|Masahiro Sakurai's cat]]
An [[easter egg]] can be found when the stage is in Ice Mode. If the player angles the camera and looks through the window of the cabin that Snorunt is in, a poster of [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s pet cat can be seen on the wall. Sakurai is the creator of the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series as well as the creator of the {{wk|Kirby (series)|Kirby}} franchise.
