==I don't see why we need this...==
The article's basically about something that only works with downloaded or pirate versions of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond & Pearl]]. Articles about ROM editors for the [[Generation III]] games obviously wouldn't fly, so I don't see why we'd need this article...
:I'm also challenging the notability, though I'm not sure tangents like this are discussed in the {{bp|notability requirements}}. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 18:46, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
::Yeah. Something like GameShark's okay, since though its use is frowned on by Nintendo, it's not an illegal copy of the game. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 01:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

::: It works with a flashcart or an ARDS ... so you don't need a pirated copy.. think of it as something that jsut spits out ARDS codes instead.

==AR Codes==

You don't need an illegal copy - it makes only it easier, but you can also start from nothing and generate AR codes.

==Article Name Change==
The actual correct name of Pokesav is indeed "Pokesav" and not "Pokésav" - the program is listed as such on the author's webpage. I propose a name change to "Pokesav" and not "Pokésav"

So, basically, you're asking us, the majority of which are against Pokesav, to accept a hacked Pokemon? If this was Smogon, you'd be infracted. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]) 19:39, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

whats with that anyway? --'''[[:User:Origamiguy|折り紙ガイ]] - [[:User_talk:Origamiguy|離す]] [[:Special:Contributions/Origamiguy|貢献]]''' 16:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

That's what I was thinking. Skarmory can Roost, it doesn't need recover (although Roost negates the flying type for the rest of the round).--[[User:Coolbho3000|Coolbho3000]] 02:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The only point I'd see to a Recovering Skarmory is to avoid the danger of a Ground-type attack; with Roost, you're left vulnerable to one of the most common moves used by Sweeper Pokémon. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:09, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

== I heard... ==

It's not compatible with Platinum. True? Not true? Is the developer planning on something for Platinum? No? Yes? What happens if you trade a Pokésav'd Pokémon to Platinum? Does it break? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

COM created a separate version specifically for Platinum, we translated it: http://www.pokesav.org/main/download-pokesav. The D/P version doesn't work with Platinum saves, the Platinum version doesn't work with D/P saves. Trading a Pokésav'd Pokémon to Platinum (and vice versa) will not break anything. It'll just work.

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gyarados is a large dragon Pokémon most similar in appearance to those seen in Chinese mythology. Its serpentine body is largely blue, but its underbelly is yellow. It has four white fins down its back. Its mouth is very large and gaping, but bears some resemblance to that of its pre-evolution {{p|Magikarp}}. Like Magikarp, it has barbels on its face. Its pectoral and dorsal fins also resemble Magikarp's. Gyarados is only rarely shown with its mouth closed.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels.

====Special abilities====
Gyarados, like most dragon-like Pokémon, has a high {{Stat|Attack}} stat, causing it to rely more on physical attacks than special ones. It is one of the few {{type2|Water}}s able to wield both [[Fire (type)#Moves|fire]] and [[Electric (type)#Moves|electric]] attacks.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon bears little resemblance to its docile {{p2|Magikarp|pre-evolution}}. Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. Once it has worked itself into a frenzy, it will not calm until everything around it is destroyed—this tendency is attributed to the dramatic structural changes its brain undergoes during evolution. It seems attracted to violence, although this Pokémon is very rarely seen in the wild. During times of human conflict Gyarados are said to appear, burning entire cities down to the ground.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Gyarados are rare, and normally not seen in the wild. They usually live in large bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds or even seas and oceans. The [[Lake of Rage]] is a known nesting area for a [[red Gyarados]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution.jpg|thumb|The [[Red Gyarados]]]][[Image:Gyaranime.jpg|thumb|left|{{OP|James|Gyarados}} and two other Gyarados starting to perform {{m|Dragon Rage}}]]
Gyarados had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' It was then seen in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. [[James]] was frustrated with his {{p|Magikarp}} and kicked it into the water. That Magikarp [[evolve]]d into a {{TP|James|Gyarados}}.

Groups of Gyarados were seen from within a submarine disguised as or styled after a Gyarados by [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'' shortly before the onset of a massive, annual tidal wave celebrated by local surfers who were apparently not aware of the annual migration. According to James, the Gyarados gathered each year in this location to lay their eggs.

A Gyarados was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

[[Nurse Joy]] had befriended a [[giant Pokémon|giant]] Magikarp that later evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Despite Magikarp being giant, it was regular sized as a Gyarados.

The Magikarp that [[Dr. Quackenpoker]] had been observing evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher!]]''.

[[Trinity]] used a Gyarados in her battle against Misty in the Whirl Cup in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''.

''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]'' focused on a [[red Gyarados]]. It was on a destructive rampage until [[Lance]] captured it. This Gyarados appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' to stop the feuding of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

Misty obtained a {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} after passing the [[PIA]] test in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]''.

A Gyarados appears in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

A Gyarados was used in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', under the ownership of [[Crasher Wake]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Gyarados debuts in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in its own round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. Here, an enraged one attacks its own trainer, [[Misty]], but is recaught by {{Special|Red}}, who supposedly returns it to her. The drastic change in attitude of the Pokémon was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] experiment as is shown in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''.

Later on, Misty traded this Gyarados to Red in exchange for Red's {{p|Krabby}}.

Gyarados is later seen with [[Lance]], using its {{m|BubbleBeam}} to shield him from the lava of [[Mt. Cerise]].

A [[Red Gyarados]] was seen in the [[Lake of Rage]] 3 years later, but it was caught by {{Special|Silver}}. It had the ability to control the other Gyarados in the lake.

When Red borrows {{Special|Green}}'s {{p|Charizard}} to travel to [[Mt. Silver]], he temporarily trades his Gyarados to Green. It later appears as one of Green's Pokémon in {{PSV|13}}, used against {{p|Entei}}, and later part of his revealed team during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff. Prior to the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Green returns Gyarados to Red.

Both Gyarados have remained on their {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s teams to this day.

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

==Game data==
In {{Game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a [[Alternate coloration|red]] Gyarados is featured on the TV on a program called "Search for the Red Gyarados". It is this that inspires {{Ga|Lucas}} or {{Ga|Dawn}} and {{Ga|Pearl|their rival}} to go to [[Lake Verity]], to see if there is a rare [[Pokémon]] dwelling in it.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}: Gyarados appears in the [[Surrounded Sea]].

==Trivia==
* According to some Nintendo of America artwork, Gyarados was originally slated to have the English name Skullkraken, a combination of the words "skull" and "{{wp|kraken}}" (a mythological sea monster). This wouldn't have worked in the games though because the game only allows a maximum of 10 letters in a Pokémon's name.
* Oddly, despite being part {{type2|Flying}}, it does not have wings and the only Flying-type move it can learn is {{m|Bounce}}, which it can only learn from a [[move tutor]] in [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pokémon Platinum]].
* In Generation II, it became the only 100%-certain {{shiny2}} encounter and the first of only two {{shiny2}} Pokémon to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was {{p|Celebi}} in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]). The shiny Generation II Gyarados is believed to be the same one mentioned in the television show the beginning of the Generation IV games.
* It is said in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'' that Gyarados's skin is harder than steel, yet in ''[[AG169|Talking A Good Game!]]'', Gyarados was angry because it had a twig penetrating through its skin.
* Gyarados has minor differences between all of its {{shiny2}} sprites, making it slightly unique to each game. In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Gyarados' shiny sprite is gold and red, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, its sprites have a pink hue to them. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, its sprites appear more orange. Lastly, in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the sprite loses most of its gold and becomes a standard red color. Why there have been so many changes is unknown.
** On a side note, Gyarados's normal colors during Gold and Silver showed it being darker hue of blue than previously displayed. This was corrected in {{game|Crystal}}.
* In the Pokémon anime, Gyarados's eyes are violet instead of the red that appears in its sprites and official artwork.
* Gyarados is one of nine non-{{t|Bug}}, {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Gyarados is the only non-legendary boss Pokémon to speak entirely in capital letters.
* In the anime episode ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'', Gyarados has the same cry as Dialga.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or {{wp|sea serpent}}. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles (which can be tied to the fact that Gyarados' pre-evolution, Magikarp, could possibly take a lot of drive and effort to legitimately evolve into Gyarados).
====Name origin====
Gyarados's name may be derived from a combination of 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' massacre/slaughter, and 逆境 ''gyakkyō'', hardship/adversity. Both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. The ''dos'' may just indicate that it's the second in its evolutionary line. Alternatively, the end of Gyarados' name, ドス ''dosu'', is a Japanese onomatopeic word representing the piercing of flesh, once again owing to Gyarados' violent nature.

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gyarados is a large dragon Pokémon most similar in appearance to those seen in Chinese mythology. Its serpentine body is largely blue, but its underbelly is yellow. It has four white fins down its back. Its mouth is very large and gaping, but bears some resemblance to that of its pre-evolution {{p|Magikarp}}. Like Magikarp, it has barbels on its face. Its pectoral and dorsal fins also resemble Magikarp's. Gyarados is only rarely shown with its mouth closed.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels.

====Special abilities====
Gyarados, like most dragon-like Pokémon, has a high {{Stat|Attack}} stat, causing it to rely more on physical attacks than special ones. It is one of the few {{type2|Water}}s able to wield both [[Fire (type)#Moves|fire]] and [[Electric (type)#Moves|electric]] attacks.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon bears little resemblance to its docile {{p2|Magikarp|pre-evolution}}. Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. Once it has worked itself into a frenzy, it will not calm until everything around it is destroyed—this tendency is attributed to the dramatic structural changes its brain undergoes during evolution. It seems attracted to violence, although this Pokémon is very rarely seen in the wild. During times of human conflict Gyarados are said to appear, burning entire cities down to the ground.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Gyarados are rare, and normally not seen in the wild. They usually live in large bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds or even seas and oceans. The [[Lake of Rage]] is a known nesting area for a [[red Gyarados]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution.jpg|thumb|The [[Red Gyarados]]]][[Image:Gyaranime.jpg|thumb|left|{{OP|James|Gyarados}} and two other Gyarados starting to perform {{m|Dragon Rage}}]]
Gyarados had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' It was then seen in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. [[James]] was frustrated with his {{p|Magikarp}} and kicked it into the water. That Magikarp [[evolve]]d into a {{TP|James|Gyarados}}.

Groups of Gyarados were seen from within a submarine disguised as or styled after a Gyarados by [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'' shortly before the onset of a massive, annual tidal wave celebrated by local surfers who were apparently not aware of the annual migration. According to James, the Gyarados gathered each year in this location to lay their eggs.

A Gyarados was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

[[Nurse Joy]] had befriended a [[giant Pokémon|giant]] Magikarp that later evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Despite Magikarp being giant, it was regular sized as a Gyarados.

The Magikarp that [[Dr. Quackenpoker]] had been observing evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher!]]''.

[[Trinity]] used a Gyarados in her battle against Misty in the Whirl Cup in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''.

''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]'' focused on a [[red Gyarados]]. It was on a destructive rampage until [[Lance]] captured it. This Gyarados appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' to stop the feuding of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

Misty obtained a {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} after passing the [[PIA]] test in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]''.

A Gyarados appears in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

A Gyarados was used in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', under the ownership of [[Crasher Wake]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Gyarados debuts in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in its own round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. Here, an enraged one attacks its own trainer, [[Misty]], but is recaught by {{Special|Red}}, who supposedly returns it to her. The drastic change in attitude of the Pokémon was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] experiment as is shown in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''.

Later on, Misty traded this Gyarados to Red in exchange for Red's {{p|Krabby}}.

Gyarados is later seen with [[Lance]], using its {{m|BubbleBeam}} to shield him from the lava of [[Mt. Cerise]].

A [[Red Gyarados]] was seen in the [[Lake of Rage]] 3 years later, but it was caught by {{Special|Silver}}. It had the ability to control the other Gyarados in the lake.

When Red borrows {{Special|Green}}'s {{p|Charizard}} to travel to [[Mt. Silver]], he temporarily trades his Gyarados to Green. It later appears as one of Green's Pokémon in {{PSV|13}}, used against {{p|Entei}}, and later part of his revealed team during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff. Prior to the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Green returns Gyarados to Red.

Both Gyarados have remained on their {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s teams to this day.

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

==Game data==
In {{Game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a [[Alternate coloration|red]] Gyarados is featured on the TV on a program called "Search for the Red Gyarados". It is this that inspires {{Ga|Lucas}} or {{Ga|Dawn}} and {{Ga|Pearl|their rival}} to go to [[Lake Verity]], to see if there is a rare [[Pokémon]] dwelling in it.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}: Gyarados appears in the [[Surrounded Sea]].

==Trivia==
* According to some Nintendo of America artwork, Gyarados was originally slated to have the English name Skullkraken, a combination of the words "skull" and "{{wp|kraken}}" (a mythological sea monster). This wouldn't have worked in the games though because the game only allows a maximum of 10 letters in a Pokémon's name.
* Oddly, despite being part {{type2|Flying}}, it does not have wings and the only Flying-type move it can learn is {{m|Bounce}}, which it can only learn from a [[move tutor]] in [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pokémon Platinum]].
* In Generation II, it became the only 100%-certain {{shiny2}} encounter and the first of only two {{shiny2}} Pokémon to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was {{p|Celebi}} in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]). The Generation II Gyarados is believed to be the same one mentioned in the television show the beginning of the Generation IV games.
* It is said in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'' that Gyarados's skin is harder than steel, yet in ''[[AG169|Talking A Good Game!]]'', Gyarados was angry because it had a twig penetrating through its skin.
* Gyarados has minor differences between all of its {{shiny2}} sprites, making it slightly unique to each game. In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Gyarados' shiny sprite is gold and red, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, its sprites have a pink hue to them. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, its sprites appear more orange. Lastly, in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the sprite loses most of its gold and becomes a standard red color. Why there have been so many changes is unknown.
** On a side note, Gyarados's normal colors during Gold and Silver showed it being darker hue of blue than previously displayed. This was corrected in {{game|Crystal}}.
* In the Pokémon anime, Gyarados's eyes are violet instead of the red that appears in its sprites and official artwork.
* Gyarados is one of nine non-{{t|Bug}}, {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Gyarados is the only non-legendary boss Pokémon to speak entirely in capital letters.
* In the anime episode ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'', Gyarados has the same cry as Dialga.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or {{wp|sea serpent}}. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles (which can be tied to the fact that Gyarados' pre-evolution, Magikarp, could possibly take a lot of drive and effort to legitimately evolve into Gyarados).
====Name origin====
Gyarados's name may be derived from a combination of 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' massacre/slaughter, and 逆境 ''gyakkyō'', hardship/adversity. Both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. The ''dos'' may just indicate that it's the second in its evolutionary line. Alternatively, the end of Gyarados' name, ドス ''dosu'', is a Japanese onomatopeic word representing the piercing of flesh, once again owing to Gyarados' violent nature.

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

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

Due to its low [[stats]] (Speed, however, at 80, being the highest) and the fact that it only has the move {{M|Splash}} until level 15, Magikarp is often considered the weakest Pokémon in existence.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magikarp is a red, medium-sized fish. Its notable characteristics include large, heavy scales. Its fins are primarily white, but it has a stiff, three-peaked fin on its back and another on its stomach which are both yellow. It also has long barbels.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels, and a male has tan barbs.

====Special abilities====
Magikarp is notable in the fact that it has no real special powers. Despite this however, people and scientists alike wonder how it can still survive in the wild. They are also capable of living in very polluted water.

===Behavior===
Although this Pokémon is capable of surviving in even the most polluted ponds, it is usually overlooked by trainers because it is pathetically weak: even in the heat of battle it will do nothing but flop around. It is not a strong swimmer, and currents in the water will sweep it downstream. They are normally seen using {{m|Splash}}, which is unusual, as it makes them easy targets to predators. It is believed that the ancestors of this Pokémon were much stronger than the Magikarp seen today, and this belief has led scientists to research this species.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Magikarp is found in many bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. However, due to its weak swimming ability it usually lives downstream of the water's flow.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Jessie_magikarp.jpg|thumb|right|[[Jessie's Magikarp|Jessie's first Magikarp]]]]
Several episodes, the first one being in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', involve a particular [[Magikarp salesman|salesman]] trying to sell certain Pokémon to someone. The person he is usually trying to con is [[James]] and he usually sells Magikarp, claiming that they're very valuable.

[[Team Rocket]] used a Magikarp-shaped submarine during the [[Orange Islands]].

In ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'', a [[Nurse Joy]] from the Orange Islands befriended a giant Magikarp that saved her as a child. It evolved into an equally large Gyarados, but it remained friendly.

In ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}} help a Pokémon Watcher named [[Quincy T. Quackenpoker]] observe the migration and evolution of a school of Magikarp.

In ''[[AG092|Judgement Day]]'', a {{shiny2}} Magikarp appeared in a flashback under the ownership of {{ho|Jimmy}} and was later traded.

Another, in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]'', was nicknamed the strongest.

A Magikarp appeared in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style]]''.

In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]'', Jessie used a different Magikarp in the second leg of the Pokémon triathlon.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Magikarp was seen at the [[Lake of Rage]], being forcibly evolved into {{p|Gyarados}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=water
|gen=1
|redbluedex=In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
|yellowdex=Famous for being very unreliable. It can be found swimming in seas, lakes, rivers and shallow puddles.
|golddex=An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
|silverdex=For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like {{p|Pidgeotto}} to catch it mid-jump.
|stadiumdex=Whoever its opponent, and however horrible the attack it receives, all it does is {{m|Splash}} around.
|crystaldex=This weak and pathetic Pokémon gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
|stadium2dex=An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more then seven feet.
|rubydex=Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.
|sapphiredex=Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.
|emeralddex=Its swimming muscles are weak, so it is easily washed away by currents. In places where water pools, you can see many Magikarp deposited there by the flow.
|firereddex=It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.
|leafgreendex=In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
|diamonddex=It is said to be the world's weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.
|pearldex=It is unable to swim against even slow-moving currents. It always {{M|splash}}es about for some reason.

==Trivia==
* As of {{game|Platinum}}, Magikarp is the lowest, and ironically, also the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture at level 1 and 100, beating out even the level 80 {{p|Arceus}} for highest. It is only available in a pond in the [[Resort Area]] with a [[Super Rod]] in Platinum, where only Magikarp can be caught and range in level anywhere from level 1 to 100.
* The [[Magikarp salesman]] from the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] is probably based on the shady man from the [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]] games. He can be found in the [[Route 4]] [[Pokémon Center]] offering the player a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500, which he refuses to refund. A man in the [[Pewter City]] [[Poké Mart]] complains about already being conned by him. The offer grants the player a potential {{p|Gyarados}} at an otherwise early point in the games.
* Magikarp is generally considered to be the weakest Pokémon in any of the games. Because of this, the nickname "Magikrap" is common among fans.
* Magikarp, as well as Gyarados, has been in all four regional [[Pokédex]]es.
* A glitch in the early Japanese games, Red, Green, and Blue, allowed players to transform their Magikarp into a {{p|Mew}}. However, this Mew was not registered in the [[Pokédex]], did not have the same stats nor moves, and caused some major glitches to the player's items pack.
* Even though Magikarp is said to be the weakest Pokémon in existence, there are seven Pokémon weaker than it in terms of [[List of Pokémon by base stats|base stat average]]. {{p|Sunkern}} is the weakest, with only 180 total base stats compared to Magikarp's 200.
* Magikarp, along with {{p|Surskit}} and {{p|Wingull}}, is the only {{type2|Water}} that cannot learn {{m|Surf}}, as well as the only Water-type that cannot learn any Ice-type moves.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Feebas}}. They are both known as Fish Pokémon.
* Magikarp's Platinum sprite is the only sprite which shows it with its mouth closed.
* Even though it's listed as a freshwater Pokémon, it's also abundant in oceans as well. How it can survive in both saltwater and freshwater is unknown. This may, however, be the reason why the Magikarp species has survived for so long, despite the fact that it is weak.
* Magikarp takes the shortest time to hatch out of all Pokémon.

===Origin===
Magikarp is based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles.
====Name origin====
Magikarp's name is a combination of ''magic'' and ''{{wp|carp}}'' (this may be mocking the Magikarp as a species, as someone with 'magic' powers is generally thought to be quite powerful - which Magikarp is not). It may also the combination of ''Magi'', the three kings from the story of the Nativity, and ''carp''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'', carp, and the English word ''king''. (the "king" part may serve the same purpose as "magic" in the English name)

== ???-type Explanation Doesn't Make Sense ==

One of our members brought up a good point about the explanation (in this article) about why Nintendo put the ??? Arceus in the game. We think that it was put in because Nintendo's code for Multitype required a sprite to be filled for every single type. This is our best guess, and I certainly think it's more plausible than "preventing game crashes for hackers." Hackers can crash the game quite easily otherwise - why would they prevent it in one way when we can do it in a thousand other ways? Remember, Nintendo doesn't care for or even acknowledge hackers. -[[User:Coolbho3000|Coolbho3000]] 00:33, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Action Replay

2008-12-08T01:52:12Z

Coolbho3000: Updated link

[[Image:Action_replay_ds_large.jpg|175px|thumb|Action Replay DS]]
The '''Action Replay''' is a cheating device brand made by {{wp|Datel}} that is used for games and systems of all kinds. It is not licensed or endorsed by any game or console manufacturer.

While the [[GameShark]] was the most widely used cheating device in the late 90s, it was actually an Action Replay under a different name. However, Interact, the company whom distributed GameSharks, went bankrupt. After that, {{wp|Mad Catz}} bought the name GameShark, and Action Replays were then sold to the public by their original name.

==Use and function==
Cheating devices such as the Action Replay are primarily used to enable, disable, or modify sections of a particular game's scripting code. By intercepting game code transmission between the game's software and the system hardware, Action Replay devices can change the gaming experience. The use of cheating devices to modify Pokémon games has been a popular practice since the games' release in the mid-nineties. Popular applications of the device include capturing unobtainable Pokémon, acquiring unobtainable items or mass quantities of items, and modifying Pokémon stats.

Although Action Replay can be helpful, it is also known to freeze the game occasionally and to cause minor problems. This is one of the main reasons why many players are oppossed to them. Although codes that simply allow you to change levels, stats, and moves tend to be harmless, others like Walk Through Walls or codes giving you an instant full party of [[Legendary Pokémon]] can result in minor game glitches that may last forever, or maybe that would render the game unusable until the file is deleted.

==Duo problems==
In 2005, Datel released a new device for use with both the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo DS]] called the {{wp|Action Replay Duo}} (also known as the Action Replay Max). This new device enabled users to modify GBA games like the ordinary Action Replay for GBA; however, it also had the ability to save your DS games onto a computer using a USB cable. Using this method, users could backup and restore saved game files. However, the device does not recognize any Pokémon save data located in its slot, and has caused much outrage among fans for this reason. Despite numerous updates to the device, there has been no explanation given as to why the device ignores Pokémon games.

==Pokésav==
{{main|Pokésav}}
[[Image:PokesavScreenshot.PNG|thumb|right|Screenshots of Pokésav 0.39 English]]

[[Pokésav]] is a user created program that can generate codes or modify save files on {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Once the user has saved their file to a computer, the program opens up and allows the user to change a variety of objects and events in the game, such as money, items in the player's bag, and even the player's name. The user can also make the desired changes and then generate an input code for the DS which will do the same thing, only without the use of the save game. However, Pokésav is more commonly used to modify, or outright hack, Pokémon.

Pokésav can either modify an already existing Pokémon in the player's game, or create one from scratch. The user can then modify almost anything, including [[Alternate coloration|shininess]], [[effort values]], [[individual values]], [[level]], [[Natures|nature]], and even [[ribbon]]s or {{pkmn|contest}} ranks, along with a number of other things. The program can be used to create the perfect Pokémon with no signs of hacking at all.

===Legitimacy controversy===
Because Pokésav has the ability to create technically perfect Pokémon, a number of players are against Pokésav. They think that it ruins the entire spirit of the game, as it gives those who spend time {{pkmn|breeding}} and raising their Pokémon through hard work a new hurdle of possibly facing a perfect hacked Pokémon that only took a few minutes to make.

:All good ideas to add. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 23:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:Problem, which I noticed when I went to take the anime info out of [[history of the Pokémon world]] - that article says 400 years ago. And the one on the [[Orange League]] itself says 300 years. What's the number? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 07:08, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

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

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

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

:I second this. Each of them are at least a year younger then the last, however I don't want to change it without seeing more peoples thoughts on it. I also thought that in one episode it mentioned something about Misty being a year older then Ash, but I could be wrong.Can anyone else back me up on that?[[User:Ai Hikari|Ai Hikari]] 03:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
::See the [[aging in the anime]] article for our policy on that. The only official statement we have on this issue is that Ash and May were both 10 at the start of AG despite claims of two years passing since the beginning of the series. The writers apparently don't pay attention so the logic doesn't work.
::The Grand Festival argument is not valid, though. Each region's Grand Festival is a seperate competition. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 17:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

== Well. ==

This is the longest page on Bulbapedia, and it will continue to get longer. In addition, it's not in our best interests to separate the page into several different pages. Interesting, eh? --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 22:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

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

[[Image:PokesavScreenshot.PNG|thumb|right|Screenshots of Pokésav 0.39 English]]
'''Pokésav''' is a program that edits [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] saved games, developed by a Japanese programmer named COM. It will work with any Pokémon Diamond or Pearl save file, including those backed up from a commercial cartridge using a flashcart or a cheating device such as the Gameshark Duo. The application can also export [[Action Replay]] DS codes, which when activated will provide the same effects in-game as editing the save file.

With Pokésav, players can edit nearly every aspect of the game including Pokémon and their movesets, the inventory, and in-game records. Because of this, many people consider it to be a "hacking" program used to gain an unfair advantage in competitive play. Creating a Pokémon of any caliber may only take a few minutes with the use of Pokésav, whereas it may take hundreds of hours to legitimately breed and train the same Pokémon. This brings up questions as to whether the use of the program is ethical.

To combat the usage of programs like ''Pokésav'', Nintendo has banned the use of all Pokémon they determine to be "hacked" from online play. This includes such Pokémon with impossible movesets or abilities, such as a {{p|Spiritomb}} with {{a|Wonder Guard}} or a {{m|Recover}}ing {{p|Skarmory}}. However, sometimes Nintendo's servers cannot differentiate edited Pokémon from trained Pokémon, so these legitimate looking Pokémon are always let through.

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon. It is usually obtainable only by having it transferred to a player's cartridge at special [[Nintendo]]-sponsored events. In [[Pokémon Emerald]], [[Faraway Island]] exists, allowing players to actually capture Mew, but access to this island requires an [[Old Sea Chart]] which is also only available through special events.

Mew's [[ability]] is {{A|Synchronize}}, which copies any [[status ailments]] the Pokémon might have over to its opponent.

Mew has been notorious since its discovery for its ability to learn every machine move, unique amongst all known Pokémon.

Mew does not [[Evolution|evolve]] from or into any other Pokémon, and is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature. Mew's hair is so fine, 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 DNA of every single Pokémon. It also vaguely resembles a fetus, as it's often depicted in a pink orb similar to an amniotic sac and its tail as an umbilical cord.

====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless Pokémon.
====Special abilities====
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will, creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to {{m|transform}} into any one of the other 492 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible.

===Behavior===
Mew is an intelligent Pokémon and will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It also acts very childish, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it and laughing most of the time.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|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 considered 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 not a known diet for Mew.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mew1.PNG|right|thumb|Mew from [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]].]]
Two different Mew appeared in Pokémon movies. In the first, ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', [[Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)|Mew]] engaged in a battle with its clone, {{p|Mewtwo}}. In the eighth movie, ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', [[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)|another Mew]] kidnapped [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR}}.

[[Lawrence III]]'s actions in [[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 [[Mirage Pokémon|Mirage]] Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to frustrate the plans of [[Mirage Master]].

[[Image:Mew Harp.JPG|right|thumb|[[Nando|Nando's]] Mew Harp]]

[[Nando]] has a harp that is designed based on Mew.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Mew debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{Special|Red}} and {{Special|Green}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but they fail. The ''phantom Pokémon'' was chased by [[Team Rocket]].

It later appeared in the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Mew Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. 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 in photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when photographed, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at Mew to get it to come out for a proper 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 locations===
[[image:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
Mew can be obtained in the Pokémon Red and Blue versions by using the [[Mew glitch]]. The Mew glitch also enable countless other normal and rarely-seen [[Glitch|glitched Pokémon]] to be seen and captured, although some of them have been known to cause trouble to people's games.

Mew is otherwise obtainable only in [[Nintendo promotional event]]s, historically through a direct trade. In [[Pokémon 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]].

In [[Generation III]] onward, Mew does not obey when found in the wild by use of a [[cheating]] device.

==Trivia==
* 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.
* 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 [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]] were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that Satoshi Tajiri had programmed it into the game.
* The user-designed [[wp:Neopet|Neopet]] species known as the '''Shoyru''' was based on Mew with draconic aspects added.
* Lost scientific reports found in the burned mansion of Cinnabar Island state that Mew '''gave birth'''. The scientists named the newborn "Mewtwo". This breaks up the basic reproduction method of Pokémon - eggs. However, Mew, as with most legendary Pokémon, cannot produce eggs. Possibly, Mew was fertilized ''in vitro'', and thus it could give birth. This may account for the fact that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} are, too, incapable of producing eggs: They are fertilized by their male counterparts and reproduce in a mammal-like fashion.
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed or LeafGreen]], as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]. It received an in-game location while {{p|Jirachi}} did not.
* Starting with [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]], a special flag must be set on Mew, otherwise it will not obey its trainer. This also goes for {{p|Deoxys}}.
* Mew is the only Genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Attract}} and {{m|Captivate}}; however, when used by Mew, they will always fail.
* Mew was considered by many to be the creator of all Pokémon until [[Generation IV]], when {{p|Arceus}} is said in legend to be the "Original One" who shaped the {{pkmn|universe}} with its 1,000 arms (even still, [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Generation IV]]'s Pokédex entry states that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon).
* Despite the Pokédex saying repeatedly that Mew can learn any move, it notably cannot learn moves unavailable other than by [[level]]ing up, [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, and [[move tutor]]s. Even then, it cannot learn {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, or {{m|Draco Meteor}} by tutoring.
*Mew was the second Pokémon ever to be seen on the English anime since it is the second Pokémon to appear in the opening theme song, following Mewtwo.
*Mew's English name is along with that of {{p|Muk}} the shortest of all Pokémon, written with only 3 letters.
*Even though Mew is shown multiple times to turn invisible, it is unable to learn {{m|Camouflage}}. It is also commonly seen Teleporting in the anime, while in the games, the only way to get a legit Mew with {{m|Teleport}} is from [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], or by teaching it [[TM30]] in [[Generation I]]. However it may still utilize both of these moves (along with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}) through the use of {{m|Metronome}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to Level 100, whereas most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
===Origin===
Mew shares some traits with felines. It is also similar to an animal [[wp:embryo|embryo]]. It is purported to be the first Pokémon from which all others are descended, in the same way that all animal embryos look identical at an early stage of development.
====Name origin====
Mew's name may refer to its [[wp:cat|cat]]-like appearance, with ''mew'' being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word ''unique'' (myō), or the English word ''[[wp:mutant|mutant]]'' (myūtanto).

Coolbho3000: /* recovering skarmory */

==I don't see why we need this...==
The article's basically about something that only works with downloaded or pirate versions of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond & Pearl]]. Articles about ROM editors for the [[Generation III]] games obviously wouldn't fly, so I don't see why we'd need this article...
:I'm also challenging the notability, though I'm not sure tangents like this are discussed in the {{bp|notability requirements}}. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 18:46, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
::Yeah. Something like GameShark's okay, since though its use is frowned on by Nintendo, it's not an illegal copy of the game. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 01:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
::Stiiiiiiill don't like this... '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 10:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

==AR Codes==

You don't need an illegal copy - it makes only it easier, but you can also start from nothing and generate AR codes.

==Article Name Change==
The actual correct name of Pokesav is indeed "Pokesav" and not "Pokésav" - the program is listed as such on the author's webpage. I propose a name change to "Pokesav" and not "Pokésav"
:But the author meant Pokésav just like others mean Pokémon when they type Pokemon, Pokénav when the type Pokenav, and Pokédex when they type Pokedex{{ani|486}}[[User:Pokemaniac102|<big>'''''Poke'''''</big>]][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|'''''Maniac''''']][[Special:Contributions/Pokemaniac102|<big>'''''102'''''</big>]]{{ani|492}} 22:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

That's what I was thinking. Skarmory can Roost, it doesn't need recover (although Roost negates the flying type for the rest of the round).--[[User:Coolbho3000|Coolbho3000]] 02:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

'''Pokémon Platinum''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタープラチナ''' ''Pocket Monsters Platina'') is a sister game to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and is the third [[Generation IV]] [[main series]] game. The [[version mascot|mascot]] is {{p|Giratina}}. It will take place in the Sinnoh Region and the player's starting location will be Twinleaf Town, just like [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]. The game was first seen on May 11, 2008 when a low-resolution cell-phone picture of an upcoming issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine was leaked around the internet. On May 13, a high-resolution scan was seen. Finally, on May 15, the magazine was officially released and the game was also officially confirmed by Nintendo.

==Known changes from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
[[Image:SpearPillar Giratina.png|thumb|left|200px|Cyrus, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina at Spear Pillar.]]
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Dawn}} will have different outfits.
* The template for the level, HP, and name of Pokémon, or possibly just the battle with Giratina, in battle is a dark grey instead of white.

===Storyline changes===
* {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} will both be summoned on [[Spear Pillar]] by [[Cyrus]]. {{p|Giratina}} then phases into [[Pokémon universe|the dimension]] in front of Cyrus.

===Gameplay changes===
* {{p|Giratina}}'s [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Form]] can now be selected as an alternative form, like {{p|Deoxys}}'s forms.
[[Image:Giratina_Origine_Platinum.png|thumb|right|A new, altered battle screen.]]
 

==Trivia==
*This is the first game where a [[version mascot]]'s primary color is not the name of the game, although, arguably, the silver and gold parts of Giratina could possibly apply for Platinum.

==Trivia==
*Chansey was originally going to use her Japanese name, Lucky, as her English name.
*Chansey has the second-highest base HP of all Pokémon. The first is Chansey's evolution, Blissey.
*Chansey, along with Happiny, has the lowest base stat for both Attack and Defense in the games.
*Chansey is one of five Pokémon that initially did not evolve into or from another Pokémon, but now is part of a three-stage evolutionary line (the other four being {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Roselia}}). Of these, only Porygon is not the middle member of its family, and only Roselia was not introduced in [[Generation I]].
*Chansey, and its evolution family, Blissey and Happiny, have the most in-game items associated with them. This includes: [[Lucky Punch]], [[Lucky Egg]], [[Luck Incense]] and the [[Oval Stone]].
===Origin===
Its tendency to carry eggs in a pouch is very {{wp|monotreme}}- or {{wp|marsupial}}-like. It may also just be based on a general concept of females and motherhood.
====Name origin====
Chansey's name is a corruption of ''chance''; like its Japanese name, ''Lucky'', it seems to refer to the rarity of this Pokémon.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Chaneira
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Leveinard - ''Le veinard'' means "The lucky one".

Coolbho3000: Poké-ethical? I don't see why... Also, put a bit more priority into the English editing guide.

[[Image:PokesavScreenshot.PNG|thumb|right|Screenshots of Pokésav 0.39 English]]
'''Pokésav''' is a program that edits [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] saved games, developed by a Japanese programmer named COM. It will work with any Pokémon Diamond or Pearl save file, including those backed up from a commercial cartridge using a cheating device such as the Gameshark Duo. The application can also export Action Replay DS codes, which when activated will provide the same effects in-game as editing the save file.

With Pokésav, players can edit nearly every aspect of the game including Pokémon and their movesets, the inventory, and in-game records. Because of this, many people consider it to be a "hacking" program used to gain an unfair advantage in competitive play. Creating a Pokémon of any caliber may only take a few minutes with the use of Pokésav, whereas it may take hundreds of hours to legitimately breed and train the same Pokémon. This brings up questions as to whether the use of the program is ethical.

To combat the usage of programs like ''Pokésav'', Nintendo has banned the use of all Pokémon they determine to be "hacked" from online play. This includes such Pokémon with impossible movesets or abilities, such as a {{p|Spiritomb}} with {{a|Wonder Guard}} or a {{m|Recover}}ing {{p|Skarmory}}. However, sometimes Nintendo's servers cannot differentiate edited Pokémon from trained Pokémon, so these legitimate looking Pokémon are always let through.

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: パルキア ''Palkia'') is a {{2t|Water|Dragon}}-type [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Palkia looks dinosaur-like similar to Dialga, though it seems to be based off of a therapod as it stands upright. Although it possesses wings, it does not possess the ability to fly more than a couple feet off the ground. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls reside. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.
===Gender differences===
Palkia is genderless.
===Special abilities===
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{t|Water}}-type moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats.

Palkia's powers can be magnified with the [[Lustrous Orb]].

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Spacial Rend}} (apart from an event [[Darkrai]] released for the tenth movie in Japan).

==Behavior==
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study.

==Habitat==
Legends say that it lives "in the gaps of space which are aligned in parallel."

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

=In the anime=
[[Image:Palkia Movie10.JPG|right|250px|thumb|{{an|Palkia}} in [[The Rise of Darkrai]].]]
{{an|Palkia}} makes an appearance in the tenth Pokémon [[Movies|Movie]] along with {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with {{an|Dialga}} and nearly destroys [[Alamos Town]].

[[Palkia (anime)|This Palkia]] will appear again in the [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin|eleventh movie]]. However, its exact role in the movie has yet to be confirmed.

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''

Palkia also makes a cameo in the [[Together|Japanese version of the Diamond and Pearl theme song]].

Palkia occasionally appears on the [[Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (The last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It'll often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

'''Pokésav''' is a program that edits [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] saved games, developed by a Japanese programmer named COM. It will work with any Pokémon Diamond or Pearl save file, including those backed up from a commercial cartridge using a cheating device such as the Gameshark Duo. The application can also export Action Replay DS codes, which when activated will provide the same effects in-game as editing the save file.

With Pokésav, players can edit nearly every aspect of the game including Pokémon and their movesets, the inventory, and in-game records. Because of this, many people consider it to be a "hacking" program used to gain an unfair advantage in competitive play. Creating a Pokémon of any caliber may only take a few minutes with the use of Pokésav, whereas it may take hundreds of hours to legitimately breed and train the same Pokémon. This brings up questions as to whether the use of the program is ethical.

To combat the usage of programs like ''Pokésav'', Nintendo has banned the use of all Pokémon they detirmine to be "hacked" from online play. This includes such Pokémon with impossible movesets or abilities, such as a {{p|Spiritomb}} with {{a|Wonder Guard}} or a {{m|Recover}}ing {{p|Skarmory}}. However, sometimes Nintendo's servers cannot differentiate edited Pokémon from trained Pokémon, so these legitimate looking Pokémon are always let through.

{{cleanup}}
'''Pokémon.com''' is the official [[Pokémon]] website. Each iteration has had an online [[Pokédex]]. Pokémon.com has updated info on most Pokémon games, particularly the latest ones. There is a "media player" that allows you to play songs from the [[Pokémon X]] album. There is also a section called the "Funzone" where there are downloads, games, and puzzles, as well as a Mailbag. A video game section provides information on every [[Pokémon]] video game and links to a few mini-sites. The "TV & Movies" section has a complete episode guide, from the very first episode to the most recent episode; it also has links to the official movie sites. Pokémon.com is your number-one source for Pokémon news and information.

The ''Pokémon Center'' was an online store where people could buy different kinds of Pokémon merchandise over the internet. It also featured exclusive items only available at the online store. The store closed on January 31st, 2008.

==Nintendo Events==
Most players visit Pokémon.com so that they may go to the latest Nintendo event in an effort to obtain event-only Pokémon. It has the Ranger Net code for receiving {{p|Manaphy}} and how to transfer it to Diamond and Pearl. Recently a shadow of {{p|Darkrai}} has appeared, hinting the near-release of Pokémon Movie 10, [[The Rise of Darkrai]].

'''Feraligatr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: オーダイル ''Ordile'') is a {{t|Water}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Feraligatr are big, bulky Pokémon, more used to swimming than walking on land. When they do, they try to crawl all fours in order to move faster. However, when they are hunting or fighting, they are surprisingly agile and fast. The fact that Feraligatr are cold-blooded Pokémon means that they need to be where they can adjust their body temperatures accordingly. Feraligatr have large, powerful jaws which are able to cause heavy damage.

===Gender differences===
None noticeable.

===Special abilities===
Feraligatr's jaws have the ability lock in place like its pre-evolutions. In combination with their sheer muscle power, this ability can cause massive damage to a Pokémon.

==Behavior==
Feraligatr are notoriosly territorial, coming together only to breed. Every spring, swamps and marshlands resound with the rumbling mating calls produced by male Feraligatr looking for females. If there is dispute between two males, the two will enter into a contest of roaring and bearing their fangs, hoping to make the other back down. Upon mating, the male aids the female in building a nest out of leaves and other vegetation. As the plants rot, they produce heat to help incubate the eggs. The mother jealosly guards the nest from anything that comes near, not even leaving to find food. Instead, she lives off of fat reserves stored up before the mating season began. Once the eggs hatch, she leads the newborn Totodiles down to the water. Feraligatrs are very good mothers and watch over their young until the babies are large enough to look after themselves.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Feraligatr are extremely rare in the wild. They live near water with the rest of their [[evolution]] family.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''
Feraligatr are card-carrying carnivores. Their prefered hunting method is to hide underwater with only eyes and nostrils above the surface, waiting for prey to come to the water's edge. They attack with a sudden burst of speed and clamp their powerful jaws down on a surprised victim before it has time to react. Once the Feraligatr bites it will lock its jaws, and the prey will be secured. Then the Feraligatr will violently shake its head and begin to tear off chunks of its prey to swallow.

=In the anime=
[[Image:Dp041_waniwani.jpg|thumb|right|A Feraligatr in the anime.]]
[[Ash's Snorlax]] battled against a Feraligatr in a Sumo Contest in ''[[EP194|The Ring Masters]]''.

[[Misty]] battled a Feraligatr during the [[Whirl Cup]] in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match]]''.

A Feraligatr was also owned by [[Kinso]] in ''[[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''.

[[Wani-Wani]] made a cameo in [[DP041]].

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[Silver_(Special)|Silver's]] Croconaw evolved into Feraligatr to protect Gold, Crystal, and himself from {{p|Lugia}}.

=In the TCG=

=In the TFG=
One Feraligatr figure has been released.

*On a height basis, Feraligatr is the tallest final form of a [[starter Pokémon]] standing at an amazing 7 feet and 7 inches (2.3 meters).

==Origin==
Like {{p|Totodile}} and {{p|Croconaw}}, Feraligatr is a [[wp:crocodylia|crocodylia]]n. Appearance-wise, it's an [[wp:alligator|alligator]].

===Name origin===
Feraligatr draws its name from a combination of ''feral'' and ''[[wp:alligator|alligator]]'', whereas the ''dile'' in its Japanese name is a reference to [[wp:crocodile|crocodile]]s. The German name ''Impergator'' is a combination of ''imperial'' and ''alligator''. The lack of a vowel between the T and R is due to the ten character limit on Pokémon names that also affects {{p|Victreebel}}.

'''Manaphy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マナフィ''' ''Manaphy'') is a [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] {{t|Water}}-type Pokémon, first appearing in [[Generation IV]]. Manaphy is not directly obtainable in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]].

Manaphy's [[Abilities|ability]] is [[Hydration (ability)|Hydration]], which heals a status effect (Burn, Paralyze, Sleep, Poison, Freeze) when Manaphy is in play during [[Weather conditions|rain]].

It is comparable to {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Jirachi}}, but more so to {{p|Mew}}, both for its place in the regional Pokédex list, identical base stats and its inability to be caught during normal gameplay. Unlike them, however, Manaphy does not fall under the {{t|Psychic}}-type group; it also has the unprecedented ability to breed, though the offspring is a {{p|Phione}}. Interestingly, Manaphy is joined by {{p|Shaymin}} this generation, which is not a Psychic-type Pokémon, either. Manaphy is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], but not the [[Generation IV]] National Dex.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Manaphy is a small, blue, aquatic Pokémon. It has stubby feet and club-like arms that are longer than its body. Manaphy has a red gem on its chest. Manaphy has a round head with a pair of long blue antennae. Eighty percent of Manaphy's body is made of water and is highly susceptible to its environment. One of these reactions is that when Manaphy reproduces in an ocean that's warmer than those that they are native to, the child will be a {{P|Phione}} as opposed to another Manaphy.
===Gender differences===
Manaphy is genderless.

===Special abilities===
Due to Manaphy's high water content in its body, it can heal itself whenever its raining. Manaphy can control water and focus them into attacks such as {{M|Water Pulse}} and {{M|Bubblebeam}}. Manaphy's signature attack is {{M|Heart Swap}}.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Manaphy appears to be native to the cold oceans of the [[Fiore]] region, but cannot hatch there, instead only being able to be hatched in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Strangely, all eggs Manaphy produces in Sinnoh hatch into {{p|Phione}}.

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

=In the anime=
[[Manaphy (anime)|Manaphy]] is the star of the ninth Movie, ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. It is initially an egg that an evil gang wants to steal. Manaphy hatches in May's hands and helps the People of the Water to find the Sea Temple.

Manaphy also makes a cameo in the [[Together|Japanese version of the Diamond and Pearl theme song]].

=In the manga=
In the manga "[[Pokémon Ranger, the Comic]]" (from the creators of [[Pokémon Adventures]]), [[Cameron]] from [[Summerland]] found Manaphy's Egg on Fiore's Sea, then it was stolen by the [[Go-Rock Squad]] who wanted to use its enormous powers for bad purposes when it hatched. This plan failed when [[Solana]] and [[Lunick]] saved the egg and it was given to [[Prof. Hastings]]' Granddaugther who lives in [[Sinnoh]].

=In the TCG=
Two Manaphy cards have been released.

* {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}: {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Manaphy|9}}
* {{TCG|POP Series 6}}: {{TCG ID|POP Series 6|Manaphy|3}}

One more card has yet to be released.

*{{p|Jirachi}} and Manaphy are the only [[legendary Pokémon]] to have not been given an in-game location in the [[main series]] as of yet.
*Manaphy is actually lighter and shorter than [[Phione (Pokémon)|Phione]].

==Events==

*The code to unlock the Manaphy mission in the North American version of {{g|Ranger}} is <code>P8M2-9D6F-43H7</code>, while in the European version, it is <code>MG35-CPB8-4FW8</code>.
*There was an event giving away Manaphy through Wi-Fi [[Mystery Gift]] that was held at Toys "R" Us on September 29. This special edition Manaphy was contained in a Cherish Ball and could not be traded on the [[GTS]].

==Origin==
Manaphy may be based upon [[wp:Sea angel|sea angels]], tiny transparent ocean mollusks that look like ocean fairies and possess pairs of flexible tentacles they use to feed.
===Name origin===
Manaphy's name may be based on ''[[wp:Manatee|manatee]]'', the name of a water-dwelling mammal.

[[Image:PokesavScreenshot.PNG|thumb|right|Screenshots of Pokésav 0.39 English]]
'''Pokésav''' is a program that edits [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] saved games, developed by a Japanese programmer named COM. It will work with any Pokémon Diamond or Pearl save file, including those backed up from a commercial cartridge using a cheating device such as the Gameshark Duo. The application can also export Action Replay DS codes, which when activated will provide the same effects in-game as editing the save file.

With Pokésav, players can edit nearly every aspect of the game including Pokémon and their movesets, the inventory, and in-game records. Because of this, many people consider it to be a "hacking" program used to gain an unfair advantage in competitive play. Creating a Pokémon of any caliber may only take a few minutes with the use of Pokésav, whereas it may take hundreds of hours to legitimately breed and train the same Pokémon. This brings up questions as to whether the use of the program is ethical.

To combat the usage of programs like ''Pokésav'', Nintendo has banned the use of all Pokémon they detirmine to be "hacked" from online play. This includes such Pokémon with impossible movesets or abilities, such as a [[Spiritomb]] with [[Wonder Guard]] or a [[Fly]]ing [[Raichu]]. However, sometimes Nintendo's servers cannot differentiate edited Pokémon from trained Pokémon, so these legitimate looking Pokémon are always let through.
