D-Wheel: /* Brycen/Homika */

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!•'''[[User:Pokemaniac102|Poke]][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|maniac]]102''' 22:21, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

== Swallow ==

Just a heads-up--the image you put on [[Swallow (move)]] doesn't seem to actually exist. Maybe you mistyped the name?--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 04:08, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

:The image exists. It's probably a glitch that keeps Bulbapedia from recognizing its existence. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 04:17, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

::You mean it's on the Bulba archives absolutely fine? Hm. Wonder what would keep it from showing up...--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 03:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

== Japanese names ==

What's your source? I've found sources that list {{p|Aron}} as both ''Kokodora'' and ''Cokodora''. I think we should go with what it says on the [[List of Japanese Pokémon names]] for site consistency, but I'd like to hear your take. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 22:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::Wikipedia spells Aron's Japanese name as ''Cokodora''. - 22:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Anyone on Wikipedia could change that, however.. >_> [[User:Tina|Tina]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|☆]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 22:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::::And here too...
:::::Wikipedia sucks. The official romanization is the one we use. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

YO! This is Bulbapedia! The ENGLISH Pokemon Wikipedia! We use the English titles of Pokemon media so stop moving articles like [[Pokémon 4Ever]]!--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 16:43, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
::The English title is ''Celebi: The Voice of the Forest'', you damn stupid, I have the DVD and ''that's'' the title which appears. See the talk page and Serebii.net if you need so much.

LOOK @ THE MOVIE POSTER ON THE LEAKING PAGE!--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 16:46, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
::The movie poster announces both Pikachu Short and Celebi Movie, noob. Just like ''Pokémon - The Movie 2000'' refers to the Pikachu Short and the Lugia Movie. Plus, the first movie's poster calls it ''Mewtwo VS Mew'', and no one names it like that.
:::Stop with the name calling! It's Pokémon 4Ever. Everyone knows that. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

== Dub titles ==

I go around, and take up my time to fix the dub titles to EXACTLY what it says in the episode, and what do you do???!!!??? You go around and change capital letters, and take away exclamation points that should be there because that is part of the title, and now I have to go around and fix them again!!! THANKS ALOT! ''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 17:51, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:We don't need these stupid and childish exclamation points because they're just trash. Also, I put the correct capital, don't blame me if CN doesn't know how to do it. - [[User:D-Wheel|D-Wheel]] 15:08, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
::Okay, we can ignore the capitals...BUT THE POINTS STAY!! ''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 17:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Not yet. Once the games comes out, then we add them, if its true that is.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:45, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

'''Brycen''' (Japanese: '''ハチク''' ''Hachiku'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Icirrus City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Icirrus Gym]]. He specializes in {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the games==
Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].

After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

Once at the Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.

In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but grew bored of making films. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others.

===Quotes===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
'''[[Icirrus Gym]]'''
*Before battle
:''"You appear ready to face a [[Gym Leader]]. Then... Bring it!"''

*During battle (the first non-KO hit)
:''"You are strong! No, both you and your Pokémon are strong!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Extreme conditions really test you and train you!"''

*When defeated
:''"The wonderful combination of you and your Pokémon! What a beautiful friendship!"''

*After being defeated
:''"In honor of your stout heart, I will give you this."''

:''"You have seven [[Badge]]s. That means Pokémon up to Lv. 80 will obey you. [[TM79|This TM]] will convey my regard for your accomplishments."''

:''"A move that always results in a [[critical hit]]: {{m|Frost Breath}}."''

:''"No matter how many battles I fight, I don't know what strength is. Perhaps you can find the answer."''

:''"Only those who are weak need to flaunt their strength."''

* Post game
:''"In the past, when I was hurt and depressed, [[Alder]] shared this with me... There is strength in being with other people and Pokémon. Receiving their support makes you stronger. The young man named [[Cheren]] also seems to understand this now."''

'''[[Icirrus City]]'''
:''"Who are you?"''
:''"I know you are there! Why don't you show yourselves?
:''"[[Dragonspiral Tower]]?! What's going on? Hey! Tell me... Now, hang on. [[Cheren|Young man]], if you're here for a Gym challenge, hang on for a bit. I've got to head to Dragonspiral Tower!"''

'''Dragonspiral Tower'''
:''"<Player>! We'll hold [[Team Plasma|them]] here! You go on ahead!"''
:''"I'm fine, but there's no time!"''
:''"How could this happen?"''
:''"Calm down! First, we go back! It's more important to decide what to do next than analyze what just happened."''
:''"Then, I will go with [[Cedric Juniper|you]]."''
:''"So, this is Dragonspiral Tower. There's a certain heaviness to the air. Did Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|W}}, who woke up here, see something in N?"''

'''[[N's Castle]]'''
:''"..."''
:''"..."''

'''Badge Case'''
:''Don't limit yourself to hot or cold, but use them both to your best advantage.''

===National Gymquirer===
:Jingle: ''"Woo hoo! All right! It's 'The National Gymquirer'!"''
:Page: ''"That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name TheFridge. Thank yooou! 'Brycen is too cool! He's always acting like Mr. Tough Guy, like he doesn't even feel the cold...but recently, I heard him sneeze inside his chilly Gym!' I guess even a super-cool Gym Leader can catch a cold. Feel better soon, Brycen! 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"''

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Brycen Adventures.png|thumb|right|130px|Brycen in Pokémon Adventures]]
Brycen, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders faced the [[Shadow Triad]] in [[Nacrene City]] to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite having the upper hand with his techniques, Brycen and the other Gym Leaders fell to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Kami trio]].

However, Brycen managed to escape the tornado created by the Kami trio while the other Gym Leaders were taken away. After finding an unconscious Black after he was knocked out by a Team Plasma member, he takes the boy with the intent to train him.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|アイスマスク|Ice mask}}.
* Brycen is the only {{type|Ice}} [[Type specialist|specialist]] to have a team consisting of only pure Ice-type Pokémon.
* Incidentally, in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the villain codenamed "[[Masked Man|Mask of Ice]]" has a name similar to Brycen's leader title.

Pokémon League (Unova)

2010-10-09T22:55:32Z

D-Wheel: There's no correct order and we're using the order some guy from 2ch defeated them. It looks like internal data has their sprites in this order: Shikimi, Renbu, Giima, Caitlin.

The '''Pokémon League''' of [[Isshu]] is the location of the region's [[Elite Four#Isshu Elite Four|Elite Four]], who may only be challenged after defeating all eight Isshu [[Gym Leader|Gym Leaders]]. It is located on a large hill north of {{is|Victory Road}} and it requires traveling through a mountain to get reach the entrance.

Like in [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]], reaching the Pokémon League requires first passing through Isshu's {{is|Victory Road}} by presenting all of the Isshu badges, and then making it through a large mountain. Once through, the player will make their way though a crevice and reach the League. Housed on a pedestal are four stairways leading to the different Elite Four members: the first door on the left leading to [[Shikimi]], the next door leading to [[Giima]], the third door leading to [[Caitlin]] and the last door ending on the right leading to [[Renbu]]. To the right of the pedestal is a doorway leading to the League's [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Poké Mart]]. After beating the four members, the player can face the Champion Adeku in the temple behind the castle that houses the Elite Four.

===Structure===
====Shikimi's room====
Once Trainers climb the staircase, the first door on the left will take them to Shikimi's room. It is a giant cylindrical room with a large structure in the middle made out of wooden bookcases. The back of the room is made up of windows portraying a thunderstorm. Upon reaching the edge of the platform, two will-o-wisps will gather the trainer and lift them up around the winding staircase. Once the player makes their way to the top, they will find Shikimi waiting for them.

====Renbu's room====
The second room is where the player can battle Renbu. His room is cylindrical with a large structure in the middle made out of mechanical junk. The back of the room is shadowed down without lighting. Upon reaching the edge of the platform and stepping onto another platform, the platform will lift them up around the winding staircase. Once there, lights will turn on and flash about, and then the player may battle Renbu.

====Caitlin's room====

The fourth room is where players challenge Caitlin. This room as well is large and cylindrical, this time with a large empty space in the middle. The back of the room is made up of a void where stars can be seen with meteors periodically showering down. Upon reaching the edge of the platform, psychic energy will engulf the trainer and lift them up to a platform with a canopied bed set on it. Upon landing on the platform, the curtains will open, and Caitlin will get out of her bed and walk toward the player for a battle.

Elite Four

2010-10-09T22:52:14Z

D-Wheel: /* Generation V */ There's no correct order and we're using the order some guy from 2ch defeated them. It looks like internal data has their sprites in this order: Shikimi, Renbu, Giima, Caitlin.

The '''Elite Four''' (Japanese: {{tt|'''四天王'''|shitennō}} ''{{wp|Four Heavenly Kings}}'') are four [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who are regarded as the toughest in their [[region]]al [[Pokémon League]], short of the [[Pokémon champion|League Champion]]. Those who challenge the Elite Four must have won all eight [[Badge]]s from that region and face all four and the current Champion consecutively without losing to any of them.

One group resides on [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Kanto]], and are considered the best Trainers in both Kanto and [[Johto]]; another is in [[Ever Grande City]] in [[Hoenn]]; two more reside at the unnamed Pokémon Leagues in {{si|Pokémon League|Sinnoh}} and {{is|Pokémon League|Isshu}}.

==Kanto/Johto Elite Four==
===Generation I and III===
In the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, and their [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]], the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] consists of:

==In the anime==
[[Image:Sinnoh Elite Four.png|thumb|220px|right|The Sinnoh Elite Four in the anime]]
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} infrequently meet the members of the Elite Four, who then impart them with battle strategies. So far, Ash has encountered the complete [[Kanto]] group:
*[[Lorelei]] in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'' (named 'Prima' in the English dub)
*[[Bruno]] in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected]]''
*[[Agatha]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''
*[[Lance]] in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''
Ash has also met [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', though merely as [[Fuchsia City]]'s Gym Leader and not as the [[Johto]] Elite Four member.

From [[Hoenn]], Ash has met:
* [[Steven Stone|Steven]] in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble!]]''
* {{EF|Drake}} in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]''
* [[Wallace]] in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''

Ash has also met the entire [[Sinnoh]] Elite Four as well:
*[[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]''
*[[Cynthia]] in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]''
*{{EF|Aaron}} in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]''
*{{EF|Flint}} in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]''
*[[Bertha]] in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]''

It has been hinted by [[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'' that when a Trainer wins their respective region's [[Pokémon League Conference|Conference Tournament]], they can participate in the Elite Four Challenge, fighting the four members of that region's Elite Four, and then possibly the Champion as well.

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section}}

===Pokémon Adventures===
The Elite Four made their first appearance in [[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]] watching the battle between {{Adv|Red}} and {{Adv|Blue}}

==Trivia==
* Despite their Japanese name being "Four Heavenly ''Kings''", each Elite Four group contains at least one female member among them.
* Of all 17 [[elemental types]], each type has been represented by an Elite Four member or [[Champion]] with the exception of the {{type2|Electric}}.
* In the Kanto-based games, all of the Elite Four members have at least one Pokémon that is not of their specialty type during the first battle.
* The Indigo Elite Four on Johto-based games holds the record for both the lowest and highest payouts given for defeating them. In [[Generation II]], they will only give out {{PDollar}}22,900; when faced after all Kanto badges have been obtained in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, they give out {{PDollar}}75,660.
* All Indigo Elite Four members are villains in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* The Hoenn Elite Four members are the only ones that don't have higher level Pokémon in future rematches with them in any game.
* In Platinum, the highest-leveled Pokémon of Bertha, Flint, and Lucian ({{p|Rhyperior}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Gallade}} respectively) match the final Pokémon that the [[Sinis Trio]] uses from [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], in that same order.
* {{2v2|Black|White}} were the first games where Elite Four members used less than five Pokémon in their initial parties.

== I've a question ==

<blockquote>''As with both the Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl series before it, the Best Wishes series begins with only Ash Ketchum, headed off to a new region with his Pikachu.''</blockquote>
So far as I've seen, there is absolutely no confirmation that Ash will even be the ''main character'' in this series; Japanese fans are throwing around rumors that he's going to be taking Brock's role. So why is speculative crap like that being presented on this page as fact? We don't know anything about the series, and we shouldn't pretend that we do.

But if I'm wrong by all means, point me towards official confirmation of everything mentioned on this page. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 17:40, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

: It comes from the "leaked" sketch of "Iris" it had Ash in BW Guy Protagonist's clothing. While they may have changed their mind and such, since it looked like a rough/beta sketch. "Iris" does match the silhouette of the BW Anime Heroine, and both "Iris" and Ash were pretty much detailed pretty good, so there is a very likely chance (if that's not confirmation) that Ash will be in the B/W series.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 04:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[Image:Karen Adventures.png|right|thumb|Karen]]
Karen, along with [[Will]], {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Silver}}, [[Chermaine]], and [[Keane]], is one of the children kidnapped by the [[Masked Man]] and raised to be his servants. Karen was one of the leaders of the new [[Team Rocket]] formed in Johto. Unlike Silver and Green, she and Will were willing members of the evil man's cohorts, having been inducted as one of his followers at the age of eleven, and continuously trained. They expected a surefire victory against Green, which seemed feasible with {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} under their command. However, with the resistance of Green and her friends {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} each commanding one of the legendary birds of Kanto, and the help of many other Pokémon sent from all across Johto and Kanto, Ho-Oh and Lugia were freed. Karen then fled with Will.

After the Masked Man was defeated, Karen formed an alliance with [[Bruno]], [[Will]], and [[Koga]]; the four of them are all ex-members of various criminal organizations. They later reappear in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

==Trivia==
*Due to the palette used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it was debated for a long time whether Karen's hair was officially silver or blonde. Much like the official artwork and {{g|Stadium 2}} artwork of her, however, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}'s overworld sprites depict her with silver hair.
*In Generation II, her hair is depicted as being shoulder length. In Generation IV, it is depicted reaching down to her hips.
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Karen is the only member of the Elite Four who uses a different final Pokémon from the first match. In her case, she replaces {{p|Houndoom}} with {{p|Absol}}, though Houndoom is still present.
** Considering the level and the Sitrus Berry, her main Pokémon in the rematch seems to be Umbreon.
*Interestingly, Karen specializes in Dark-types, but her appearance in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} showcases very bright colors.
** Since she states that she loves how cunning and deceptive Dark-types are, she may very well be wearing bright colors to deceive the foe as to what type she really uses.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[Image:Karen Adventures.png|right|thumb|Karen]]
Karen, along with [[Will]], {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Silver}}, [[Chermaine]], and [[Keane]], is one of the children kidnapped by the [[Masked Man]] and raised to be his servants. Karen was one of the leaders of the new [[Team Rocket]] formed in Johto. Unlike Silver and Green, she and Will were willing members of the evil man's cohorts, having been inducted as one of his followers at the age of eleven, and continuously trained. They expected a surefire victory against Green, which seemed feasible with {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} under their command. However, with the resistance of Green and her friends {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} each commanding one of the legendary birds of Kanto, and the help of many other Pokémon sent from all across Johto and Kanto, Ho-Oh and Lugia were freed. Karen then fled with Will.

After the Masked Man was defeated, Karen formed an alliance with [[Bruno]], [[Will]], and [[Koga]]; the four of them are all ex-members of various criminal organizations. They later reappear in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

==Trivia==
*Due to the palette used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it was debated for a long time whether Karen's hair was officially silver or blonde. Much like the official artwork and {{g|Stadium 2}} artwork of her, however, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}'s overworld sprites depict her with silver hair.
*In Generation II, her hair is depicted as being shoulder length. In Generation IV, it is depicted reaching down to her hips.
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Karen is the only member of the Elite Four who uses a different final Pokémon from the first match. In her case, she replaces {{p|Houndoom}} with {{p|Absol}}, though Houndoom is still present.
** Considering the level and the Sitrus Berry, her main Pokémon in the rematch seems to be Umbreon.
*Interestingly, Karen specializes in Dark-types, but her appearance in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} showcases very bright colors.
** Since she states that she loves how cunning and deceptive Dark-types are, she may very well be wearing bright colors to deceive the foe as to what type she really uses.

Legendary birds

2010-07-23T23:29:40Z

D-Wheel: /* Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver */ Pointless. It was already said that they "are in the same locations as before except for Moltres".

[[Image:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|250px|Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres]]
'''Legendary birds''' is the collective term used to refer to the [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. In the games, they are also known as the '''winged mirages'''.

Being the first legendary trio, they set the standards for future trios; that is, they all share similar attributes and—in the case of just most of the future trios—are considered equal among themselves. Like the other trios later would, the legendary birds share a [[trio master|master]] in {{p|Lugia}} ([[Legendary birds (movie 2)|in the anime, at least]]), as well as two common traits: their {{type2|Flying}} and their [[ability]], {{a|Pressure}}.

Their coloration is reminiscent of the first three Pokémon games the global audience got, {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, and their primary types influenced those of the next known trio, the [[legendary beasts]].

The birds are not present in the [[Generation II]] games but can be transferred over from the [[Generation I]] games using the [[Time Capsule]].

In {{game|Emerald}}, if one challenges Pyramid King Brandon for the Gold Brave Symbol, he has the legendary birds in his possession.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] each of them guard a mountain, Zapdos has [[Mt. Thunder]], Moltres has [[Mt. Blaze]], Articuno has [[Frosty Grotto]]. Once the player recruits all three, talk to {{p|Alakazam}} and go to their friend area, [[Legendary Island]] and they will give the player access to their [[trio master]] {{p|Lugia}}'s domain, [[Silver Trench]].

In {{game|Platinum}}, these birds begin to [[Roaming Pokémon|fly around]] Sinnoh once the player has talked to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Eterna City]]. He will appear in the house just to the west of [[Eterna Gym]] after the player gets the [[National Pokédex]] and then talks to him at the [[Pal Park]].

The legendary birds are present in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Articuno and Zapdos can be found in [[Kanto]] in the same locations as the [[Generation I]] games and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, while Moltres can be found in [[Mt. Silver]].

===Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow===
In Generation I, the legendary birds are scattered around the [[Kanto]] region in different locations according to their [[type]]. Articuno is deep within the [[Seafoam Islands]], Zapdos is in the abandoned [[Power Plant]] on {{rt|10}}, and Moltres is in {{ka|Victory Road}}.

===Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
[[Greevil]]'s team includes [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] versions of all three birds.

===Pokémon Platinum===
While it is impossible to capture the legendary birds in Diamond and Pearl (having previously only been obtainable through Pal Park), in Platinum, the legendary birds have been spotted in the Sinnoh region, which Professor Oak will reveal to the player if they visit him in Eterna City after stopping by Pal Park.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In a surprising turn of events, considering their availability in Platinum, the legendary birds appear once more in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and much as before, are in the same locations as before except for Moltres, who has moved once again, to [[Mt. Silver]]. Also due to the Power Plant no longer being abandoned, Zapdos is found outside the Power Plant and will only appear once all 16 badges are acquired.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Pic2.png|thumb|right|250px|{{Ash}} riding on {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}'s back, flying with the legendary birds in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'']]
The {{mov|legendary birds|legendary birds|2}} appear in the second Pokémon movie, ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', and are central to the movie's plot. In it, they are described as the titans of {{t|fire}}, {{t|ice}}, and {{t|electric|lightning}}, guardians over [[Shamouti Island|Fire, Ice, and Lightning Islands]], and are sought after by a collector, [[Lawrence III]], who intends to use them to draw out the legendary beast of the sea, {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}.

Lawrence III succeeds in capturing Moltres first, using strange, electrified rings to contain it, rather than a [[Poké Ball]]. He then subsequently kept it on his ship as he hunted out Zapdos, who used Moltres's absence from Fire Island as a signal that it would be able to expand its territory. Shortly after Ash and friends discover this to be the case, however, Lawrence III captures Zapdos as well, drawing the group in as well, due to their boat's similar size to the birds. The group escapes, and using their Pokémon, manage to free Zapdos and Moltres. The legendary birds are angry, however, and begin fighting, destroying Lawrence III's airship just as he attempts to capture Articuno. The three continue their fight outside, and finally, Lugia reveals itself.

The three birds team up to take down the beast of the sea, however, Lugia recovers and returns to the surface. As Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres continue to fight, Ash must bring the treasures from their respective islands to Shamouti Island's shrine, in order to help Lugia to quell the fighting and prevent the destruction of the world. Though he almost doesn't make it, Ash manages to do so, and the birds make peace, returning to their islands.

==Trivia==
* In Generation I, the legendary birds all had different base [[stats|stat]] totals - Articuno's was 485, Zapdos' was 490, and Moltres' was 495. Since Generation II, when the {{stat|Special}} split occurred, all three legendary birds have had an equal base stat total of 580.
* Although legendaries are said to be incapable of breeding, [[Pokémon Snap]] shows all three birds being born from eggs, which means they were bred in some way.
* Starting with Platinum, they are the only legendary trio to be both fully stationary and [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] as wild Pokémon in the various games they appear in. In comparison, the [[lake guardians]] have one of their trio who roams, while {{p|Suicune}} of the [[legendary beasts]] roams in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, but is stationary in {{game|Crystal}}, as well in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Since there were only four tracks of battle music in the [[Generation I]] games (wild, Trainer, Gym Leader/Elite Four, and Champion), normal wild battle music is played when the legendary birds and {{p|Mewtwo}} are encountered. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, a special remix of the normal wild battle theme is used for the legendary birds, Mewtwo, and the [[legendary beasts]] when encountered. However, the legendary birds have never had a battle theme composed specifically for them, unlike the other legendary trios.
* The last syllable of each of the trio is a number in the {{wp|Spanish language}} (one (Artic''uno''), two (Zap''dos''), and three (Mol''tres''), and reflects their [[National Pokédex]] order as well as the order in which they are likely to be encountered in the games.
* If [[Sinnoh]]-[[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] isn't counted, Moltres is the only one of the trio to change location, and it does so twice.
*Zapdos is the only pokémon of the trio that is never shown standing on its feet.

Mt. Silver

'''Mt. Silver''', also known as '''Silver Cave''' (Japanese: '''シロガネやま''' ''Mt. Shirogane'') is a large mountain in [[Johto]] located west of {{ka|Victory Road}} and the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Mt. Silver can be reached from [[Kanto]] via [[Route 28]] after receiving the sixteen gym [[badge]]s of both Johto and Kanto. At the very summit of Mt. Silver, the {{player}} may {{pkmn|battle}} with {{ga|Red}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is the home of {{jo|Silver Town}}. It is based on {{wp|Mt. Fuji}} in the real-world Japan.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Moltres}} can also be found here.

==Geography==
In the games, Mt. Silver is off-limits to all but the most skilled of Trainers. After {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}} has received all sixteen badges of Johto and Kanto, [[Professor Oak]] will give him or her permission to travel here.

[[Route 28|The route]] to the area is rough, though no [[HM]]s are explicitly required to reach the [[Pokémon Center]] just outside the entrance. Inside, however, the cave is dark, requiring {{m|Flash}} to see. Many high-level Pokémon reside in the cave, including rare Pokémon not found elsewhere in the Johto region, like {{p|Larvitar}} and {{p|Misdreavus}}.

The cave has only one entrance, unlike all other caves found in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, but goes deep into the mountain. In the cave's final room, the player will encounter {{ga|Red|a familiar face}} who will, wordlessly, challenge him or her to what is the highest-leveled Trainer battle in the history of the Pokémon series.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Mt. Silver is much larger. The higher sections of the cave where Red is located require {{m|Rock Climb}} to access. At times the player must also venture onto the slopes on the mountain's sides in order to climb higher.

==In the anime==
In the anime, Mt. Silver is the home of {{jo|Silver Town}}, a city that boasts at least 30 inhabitants. Silver Town's main attraction is the [[Silver Conference]], the [[Johto League]]'s yearly tournament that brings tourism to the city. Oddly, the anime depicts the mountain to be much smaller than shown in promotional maps.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} of ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', {{adv|Red}} goes to the springs in Mt. Silver to recuperate from injuries he suffered from being frozen by [[Lorelei]]'s Pokémon during the {{chap|Yellow}}. While there, he meets [[Sabrina]], a former enemy of his, who is there to recuperate from similar injuries.

Later, Red and {{adv|Gold}} leave to Mt. Silver to train together.

==Trivia==
[[File:KantoJohtoAreas.png|frame|right|Though Mt. Silver appears relatively deep into Kanto, it is identified as a Johto location by the Pokégear.]]
*Mt. Silver was called '''Shirogane Mt.''' in the {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} deluxe edition of the [[Pokémon Master Trainer (1999)|Pokémon Master Trainer]] board game. Because its release predated that of the games, it used the Japanese name.
*Despite appearing to be closer to the [[Johto]]-[[Kanto]] border on the Pokégear map, the entrance to the [[Pokémon Center]] is 17 steps from the border when factoring in only horizontal distance, making it 10 steps farther from Kanto than the doorway of the [[player character]]'s house.
*{{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, who can be fought here at level 88, is the highest-leveled Pokémon of any in-game Trainer in the series. However, this only applies to {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as Red's Pikachu is at level 81 in the original Gold and Silver (and by extension, Crystal).
* In the original player's guide to Gold and Silver, there is mention of a "?" Pokémon that appears near the waterfalls in Mt. Silver at midnight or very early in the morning; however, this is a false rumor. The guide also claimed that the unknown Pokémon was supposed to represent legendary Pokémon found in [[Generation I]] that did not appear in Gold and Silver (which were programmed in and tradable from Generation I anyway).
* Like [[Snowpoint City]], Mt. Silver's summit features diamond dust on certain special days in Generation IV, including the anniversary of Gold and Silver's original release.
** If Red is engaged in battle on a day with diamond dust, there will be no Hail condition during the battle. As no battles could be conducted in Snowpoint City's diamond dust, this is the first indication of its in-battle effect.
* Mt. Silver is marked as a Johto location by the [[Pokégear]]; however, all squares immediately surrounding it (including those to the west of it) are marked as Kanto areas by the Pokégear in Generation IV. This issue was not present in the Generation II map, which placed it directly above New Bark Town.
* The exterior of Mt. Silver is the only Johto area with Kanto characteristics, like the rocks, [[tall grass]], trees, and the [[Pokémon Center]] itself. However, in Generation IV, the only major differences are the rocks and trees.
** Strangely, in Generation IV, the trees placed in the high exteriors of the mountain itself are the ones commonly found in Johto.
* In Generation IV, despite locations nearby, such as the {{rt|26}} entrance to the Pokémon League and the [[Indigo Plateau]] itself being able to be flown to from either Kanto or Johto, and players already there being able to fly to either region, Mt. Silver is ''strictly'' a Johto location, while [[Route 28]] is ''strictly'' a Kanto location. This means that a player cannot fly to Mt. Silver from Route 28 (if he or she has already been to the Pokémon Center outside) even though one can walk between the two locations rather easily.
**Similarly, the music for wild Pokémon is [[Kanto]]-style on [[Route 28]], but [[Johto]]-style on Mt. Silver and inside [[Silver Cave]].
*** This makes {{p|Moltres}} the only [[Kanto]] [[legendary Pokémon]] that uses the [[Johto]] battle music.
* In Generation IV, whenever the player is in or on the mountain, the location bar will always say "Mt. Silver Cave", even when the player is not inside the cave.
* The regions of Kanto and Johto, as well as Mt. Silver, are also shown on the [[Orange Archipelago]] map. Interestingly, the mountain lies within the same meridian as [[Shamouti Island]], one of the archipelago's important islands.

'''Zorua''' (Japanese: '''ゾロア''' ''Zorua'') is a main character in ''[[M13|Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark]]''. Its voice actress in Japanese is ''Kurumi Mamiya''.

Zorua, along with its mother {{OBP|Zoroark|movie 13}}, were abducted in [[Isshu]] by the film's antagonist, businessman [[Kōdai|Grings Kōdai]]. By threatening Zorua's safety, Kōdai blackmailed Zoroark into attacking [[Crown City]] in the guises of {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Suicune}}. Zorua managed to escape from Kōdai's ship, however, and met up with {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, telling them that it was looking for its 'Maa.'

Later, outside Crown City, Kōdai broadcast a television statement claiming that Zoroark had seized control of his Pokémon to attack the city. Revealing Zoroark to be Maa, Zorua tried to rush off and aid it, but was held back.

After wandering off to look for Maa, Zorua befriended {{OBP|Celebi|movie 13}}. Celebi soon found itself pursued by Kōdai as well, however, and was chased throughout the city, ending in a clash at the [[Pokémon Backer]] Stadium. Kōdai disabled Celebi then used a device concealed in his sleeve to recapture Zorua and blackmail Zoroark again, but with the help of the three [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] [[Legendary beasts]] serving as Crown City's guardians, he was overwhelmed and defeated.

Zorua and Zoroark were last seen on a ship heading back to Isshu with [[Kurt (movie)|Kurt]] and [[Rioka]].

'''Zorua''' (Japanese: '''ゾロア''' ''Zorua'') is a main character in ''[[M13|Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark]]''. His voice actress in Japanese is ''Kurumi Mamiya''.

Zorua, along with his mother {{OBP|Zoroark|movie 13}}, were captured by [[Kōdai]], to be used in the [[Pokémon Baccer]] competition. However, he escaped, and met up with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. He showed off his ability to use illusions, transforming into Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}}, though he always retained his tail when he transformed into them.

Later, Zoroark escaped Kōdai as well, and started looking all over [[Crown City]] for Zorua. She transformed into {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, using illusions to wreck havoc on Crown City. Zorua tried to find Zoroark and reunite with her, but before he could, a {{OBP|Celebi|movie 13}} appeared in Crown City, along with three {{pkmn2|shiny}} [[Legendary Beasts]]. The three Legendary Beasts fought Zoroark, while Kōdai proceeded to capture Celebi.

Zorua was once again captured by Kōdai, but before anything could happen to him, Zoroark came and rescued him, nearly laying down her own life to save him. Celebi, now free of Kōdai's clutches, used a "ripple of time" to heal Zoroark. After this, Zorua and Zoroark left Crown City on a ship heading to [[Isshu]]. Zorua was last seen waving good-bye to his newest friends.

Talk:Minccino (Pokémon)

2010-07-12T06:08:02Z

D-Wheel:

Bulbanews says it's Chiramii, with one 'a'.--[[User:Pokelova|''Poké'']][[User talk:Pokelova|lova!]] 12:20, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
==Physiology for the admins to implement==
Chiramii is a furry, white-colored rodent-like Pokémon, sporting scruffs of fur on its head, ear insides, and neck. Chiramii’s large ears, located to the sides of its head, have red insides partly covered by the aforementioned tufts of fur there. Its eyes are large and brown, with a small, dot-like nose. Its limbs are somewhat rounded and small, and its tail is long and particularly furry. (I hope that this description is phrased well, I felt that it was more repetitive than the others....) [[User:Steph|Steph]] 16:06, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
:Done, thanks for writing these. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 20:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
::I think the description should include that it is actually a light grey, and only has white on the tips of its ears and tail... [[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 19:21, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

== National Dex Number ==

Since Chiramii is number 78 in the isshu dex, that means it's number 571 in the national dex. You guys (the admins) think you could add that to the stuff n such? -[[User:Carrottime]]
:It doesn't always work like that. The Isshu dex may have Pokémon that are already known, like how Magikarp and Gyarados are found in the Sinnoh dex. Since they're already in the National dex, the Sinnoh dex doesn't match up exactly with the National dex. The same probably goes for Isshu, so we'll just have to wait until we know exactly what it is. '''~ [[User:Sol|sol]][[User talk:Sol|ar]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|is]]''' 19:10, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

==Romanization==
Shouldn't we use a better romanized name, like we did back in [[Generation IV]]? It can be replaced when the trademarked romaji comes out. Since we all know its name comes from ''chinchilla'', it would be more correct to use Chillamii, Chillami, Chillamie or Chillamy. - [[User:D-Wheel|D-Wheel]] 06:08, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

'''Latias''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティアス''' ''Latias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Latias is a bird-like dragon Pokémon vaguely resembling {{p|Lugia}}. The lower half of her body is red with jet-plane wings and stubby feet that are similar to ones {{p|Crobat}} has. Latias has a blue triangle-shaped ring on her chest that resembles one of the spots {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Togetic}} have. Latias's white and red arms can be tucked into her body in order to reduce air-resistance when in flight. The upper-half of Latias's body is white. She has triangle-shaped ears and a red face with a white pentagon in the middle.
====Gender differences====
Latias is a female-only species. Her male counterpart is {{p|Latios}}.

====Special abilities====
Latias comes with the ability {{a|Levitate}}, which causes {{type2|Ground}} [[move]]s to miss.
Latias can enfold her body with glass-like down to refract light and alter her appearance. She is highly intelligent and can understand human speech. She can telepathically communicate with others.
Latias's {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Psychic}} typing has given her the ability to wield attacks of many different elements (except for {{t|Fire}}).

In the movie ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', Latias and Latios also had the ability "Sight Sharing" which allowed Latias and people around her to see exactly what Latios is seeing.

Latias is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Mist Ball}}.

===Behavior===
Latias will form small herds of several members. They will rarely make contact with people or other Pokémon. If Latias senses hostility towards herself, she will ruffle the feathers all over her body and cry shrilly to intimidate her foe. However, she will usually disappear if she senses an enemy.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Latias rarely shows herself to humans, so her location is often found in isolated areas, or in secret havens. However, wherever they do make their homes usually has a body of fresh water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Latias 2.png‎|thumb|200px|right|{{mov|Latias|Latias|5}} in the anime]]
[[Latias (movie 5)|Latias]] made her debut anime appearance in the fifth {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''. Latias and her brother, [[Latios (movie 5)|Latios]] were the targets of {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]]. Latias assisted {{Ash}} in the mission to save Latios.

A Latias also appeared in ''[[PK17|Pikachu's Ocean Adventure]]'' where, along with Latios, she used her powers to help {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{MTR}}, and the other Pokémon search for the legendary 'Wailord's Tear' beneath the ocean.

==In the manga==
Latias, along with Latios, was befriended by {{Adventures|Emerald}} and took the young {{pkmn|Trainer}} to the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. She has appeared as a human a few times as the saga continued by using her ability to reflect light.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
After Latias appears from its [[Poké Ball]], she will fly off the stage. She and Latios will then alternately zoom onto the stage with {{m|Steel Wing}} damaging any opponent that collides with them. It may also cause movement of items as well.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: If the ball drops out of the [[Sapphire Field]] while the "Ball Saver" is active, Latias will rescue it and place it on {{p|Spoink}} without the ball being lost.

==Trivia==
* Latias and {{p|Latios}} were the first legendary Pokémon to have set [[gender]]s, or even genders at all.
** Despite this, they belong to the {{egg3|No eggs}}, and cannot breed.
* Latias is one of the few non-{{type2|Flying}}s who can learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}} (by {{m|Sketch}}), {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (though Arceus can be a Flying-type by holding a {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}).
* Before [[Generation IV]], Latias and {{p|Latios}} either resisted or were weak to every type classified as special, taking no neutral hits from any.
* Despite being legendary Pokémon, regular battle music is played when Latias and {{p|Latios}} are encountered. They share this trait with {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}}.
** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the legendary battle music of Kanto will play when encountered.
* Latias and {{p|Lugia}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
* Latias has the highest base Special Defense of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Latias and {{p|Latios}} both have the highest base Speed of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
*[[a:File:Latias Combusken.jpg|A pre-alpha sketch]] depicts an [[Unreleased Pokémon and characters|unused Pokémon]] or alternative form of Latias with the traits of both a Latias and a {{p|Blaziken}}.

===Origin===
Latias appears to be a cross between a {{wp|jet plane}} and a {{wp|dragon}},with a inverse delta in her head, the feminine symbol, and a delta in her breast representing the heart-connection with {{p|Latios}}. Although she and Latios may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of Yin/Yang and psychology of id/ego.
====Name origin====
It is possible that Latias's name is based on the {{wp|Latin}} word ''lateo'', hidden. The ''-as'' suffix in her name indicates that she is female, while the ''-os'' in ''{{p|Latios}}'' indicates that he is male.

'''Bianca''' (Japanese: '''カノン''' ''Kanon'') is a primary character in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''. She is the granddaughter of [[Lorenzo]] and the best friend of {{mov|Latias|Latias|5}}, who has a tendency to shapeshift into her. Bianca has a hairstyle similar to Latias's but can usually be identified by the white beret she wears. It appears she wishes to be a painter or possibly a [[Pokémon Watcher]] similar to [[Tracey Sketchit]]. She is a nice girl but can be harsh and defensive at times. She is voiced by 折笠富美子 ''[[Fumiko Orikasa]]'' in Japanese and by [[Lisa Ortiz]] in English.
[[File:Latias as Bianca.png|275px|thumb|left|[[Latias (movie 5)|Latias]] in human form, disguised as Bianca]]
Bianca first appears in the museum, drawing some of the stain glass windows in the museum. {{Ash}} is distracted by her, since he previously saved Latias in the form of Bianca and believes she is the same girl he rescued. Wanting to know why she disappeared after he saved "her", Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} pursue her across [[Alto Mare]], finally catching up to her on the other side of the bridge, but Bianca is confused by his questions and quickly departs. Ash loses track of Bianca but instead follows Latias to the secret garden. As {{mov|Latios|Latios|5}} attacks Ash, Bianca appears and believes Ash is the one attacking. Lorenzo soon appears and stops the fighting, Bianca believing that Ash was trying to harm Latios. She soon learns the truth and apologizes for her actions, becoming friends with Ash. She is later captured along with Lorenzo in the museum and held hostage, and tells Latios to use Sight Sharing to bring Ash and Latias to the museum. Bianca and Lorenzo are freed and help save Latios from being tortured. Bianca is deeply upset by Latios's sacrificial death and receives the new [[Soul Dew]].

The conclusion of the film briefly sees her finishing a drawing. The drawing, which is of Ash and Pikachu, is given to Ash by either Bianca, who had left her hat on her easel, or Latias in the form of Bianca: which is the case is the subject of debate. When Ash received the sketch, the girl kissed him. It is unknown if this was Bianca or Latias. Bianca is seen again in the credits drawing another sketch by the harbor.

Space-Time Towers

2010-05-23T23:07:00Z

D-Wheel: /* Trivia */

{{AnimeLocationInfobox
|name=Space-Time Tower
|image=SpaceTimeTower.PNG
|imagesize=250px
|region=Sinnoh
|epicode=M10
|episode=The Rise of Darkrai
}}

The '''Space-Time Tower''' is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive building located in [[Sinnoh]]. It first appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence]]'' (albeit as a diorama in the [[Eterna Museum]]), and then had a major role in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. Besides being a building, it is the largest musical instrument of the Pokémon world.
[[Image:Eterna SpaceTime Tower.png|200px|thumb|left|Space-Time Tower diorama in the anime]]
Within the Space Tower are large spheres rotating on orbits. Within the Time Tower are large pendulums. Outside in between the two towers is a long and thin winding staircase, leading up to the top of the tower. There lies a large machine that plays music by inserting special disks into a place-holder, and pulling a lever. This is a similar function as a piano (but the strings are aligned in a cylinder).

The Space-Time Tower was vital for the safety of [[Alamos Town]] during the events of ''The Rise of Darkrai''. The song, [[Oración]], able to calm the fiercest rage, when played, soothes {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}}, overall saving Alamos from destruction.

It's also where the Alamos Town {{pkmn|Contest}} is held.

The towers also appeared in flashbacks in both ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

==Trivia==
* The Space-Time Tower is based on the {{wp|Sagrada Família}}, a Roman Catholic cathedral built by {{wp|Antoni Gaudí}} in {{wp|Barcelona}}, {{wp|Spain}}.
* On top of Space Tower are round sculptures, which corresponds to {{p|Palkia|Palkia's}} pearls, while on top of Time Tower are sculptures angular, which corresponds to {{p|Dialga|Dialga's}} diamond.

'''Michina Town''' (Japanese: '''ミチーナ''' ''Michina'') is the setting for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

Michina Town is a riverside town surrounded by flourishing nature. The town's centerpiece is the Michīna Ruins.

Thousands of years ago, Michina Town was a desolate place, which was nothing but a wasteland. But the [[Jewel of Life]]'s power that {{p|Arceus}} gave [[Damos]] made the town's soil rich and fertile. Then Damos constructed the town's ruins in order to praise {{an|Arceus}}' kindness.

==Michina Ruins==
[[Image:Michiina ruins.png|thumb|left|220px|Michina Ruins]]
The Michina Ruins are old ruins of a temple, located at the peak of a huge, rocky mountain in Michina. Beside the ruins is a beautiful lake.

The ruins are guarded by [[Sheena]] and {{an|Kevin}}. It is where [[Damos]] witnessed the awakening of {{p|Arceus}}. It is also the home of the [[Jewel of Life]]. The Space-Time Axis can be found in the basement of the ruins.

==In the TCG==
In the Movie Promo set of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], there are cards of Pokémon from Michina Ruins. The cards on the following list all belong to Michina.

==Trivia==
* ミチーナ ''Michīna'' is one katakana spelling of "{{wp|Myitkyina}}," the name of the capital city of {{wp|Kachin State}}, {{wp|Myanmar}}.
* Around the time of the premiere of ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', at various EB Games stores around the country, an Australian event Arceus was distributed with its [[OT]] as "Michina", the name of the town in the movie.

==='''Origin'''===
Michina Town is mostly based on {{wp|Meteora}}, {{wp|Greece}}.

'''Pocket Monsters Blue''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|青|あお}}''') was the third [[Pokémon games|Pokémon game]] released in Japan on October 10, 1996, as a minor revision of {{2v2|Red|Green}}, which were released earlier that year. It was thus the first [[Versions|third version]] of Pokémon, and was initially sold only to subscribers to [[CoroCoro]].

Various fixes in the game include a graphics and sound upgrade, as well as the removal of several known glitches that had been found in the original pair. Like its paired predecessors, it was never ''truly'' released outside of Japan, however, while Red and Green provided the wild Pokémon and [[version-exclusive]] lists for the rest of the world's {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, Blue provided the graphics, game engine, and script for translation.

==Plot==
Much as would become standard for third versions, players, like in the earlier Red and Green, started in [[Pallet Town|Masara Town]] in the [[Kanto|Kanto region]], receiving a [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Oak|Dr. Okido]]. As before, the choices are {{p|Bulbasaur|Fushigidane}}, {{p|Charmander|Hitokage}}, and {{p|Squirtle|Zenigame}}, and the {{ga|Blue|rival}} chooses the starter that weakens the player's choice.

Like before, the eight [[Gym Leaders]] of Kanto are [[Brock|Takeshi]], [[Misty|Kasumi]], [[Lt. Surge|Matis]], [[Erika]], [[Koga|Kyō]], [[Sabrina|Natsume]], [[Blaine|Katsura]], and [[Giovanni|Sakaki]], while the [[Elite Four]] are [[Lorelei|Kanna]], [[Bruno|Siba]], [[Agatha|Kikuko]], and [[Lance|Wataru]], with the rival still in the [[Champion]]'s place.

Again, the evil [[Team Rocket|Rocket Gang]] is causing chaos across the region, and it is up to the player to defeat them.

==Changes from Red and Green==
* [[Cerulean Cave|Hanada Cave]], the game's final dungeon, is redesigned.
* [[List of in-game trades|In-game trades]] are changed to different Pokémon.
* [[Rocket Game Corner|Game Corner]] prizes are different.
* Pokémon only available through an in-game trade in Red and Green are now found in the wild.

==Features==
===Gyms===
Much as in Red and Green, there are eight Pokémon Gyms in Kanto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock|Takeshi]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty|Kasumi]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge|Matis]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Koga|Kyō]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina|Natsume]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine|Katsura]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Giovanni|Sakaki]] ({{t|Ground}}).

===Elite Four===
The Elite Four at [[Indigo Plateau|Quartz Plateau]] also remains unchanged, with [[Lorelei|Kanna]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Bruno|Siba]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Agatha|Kikuko]] ({{t|Ghost}}) and [[Lance|Wataru]] ({{t|Dragon}}). The [[Champion]] is {{ga|Blue|Green}}, who has Pokémon of mixed types.

===Pokémon===
Blue did not introduce any new Pokémon, and so the 151 present in Red and Green are the only ones obtainable. Like Red and Green, some Pokémon are missing from Blue and must be traded from another game to complete the Pokédex or evolved from less powerful forms.

==[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Missing Pokémon]]==
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Pokémon Blue. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the paired versions of [[Generation I]] which has that Pokémon available, which will be indicated.

|}
|}
|}

==Trivia==
*Because the script for Pokémon Blue, rather than that of Red and Green, was used for the translation of the Japanese trio into {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, an old man who trades the player an {{p|Electrode}} on [[Cinnabar Island]] claims that the {{p|Raichu}} he received "went and evolved". As Raichu does not have an evolved form, this makes no sense whatsoever. In the context of Pokémon Blue, however, it makes sense, as the player trades away a {{p|Kadabra}}, which evolves through trade, for a {{p|Graveler}} in this game.
* Pokémon Blue, as well as [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|its older, paired counterparts]], are the only Generation I games that don't give a waiting message when the saving process is in course.
** Unlike Red and Green, however, it doesn't inform the player that the saving process will overwrite the previous save file, a situation that carried over into the English versions.

==Synopsis==

The feature film focuses on the beautiful town of [[Greenfield]]. Living in the town is Professor [[Spencer Hale]], a research scientist who is researching on the elusive [[Unown (movie 3)|Unown]]. He and his assistant, [[Skyler]], discover a site of ruins but Hale is sucked into the dimension of the Unown, soon after Professor Hale's disappearance Skyler arrives back in Greenfield, He speaks with a man in the mansion and [[Molly]] comes rushing down to see Her Father. Molly is told the news by Skyler and goes downstairs in shock and sadness, She goes on her father's laptop trying to find out what happend, but soon she sees the box her father discovered in the ruins, and she sees all the Unown shapes, assuming they are letters, she spells, Mama, Papa and Molly, and the Unown come to life from the blocks and start making her dream world a reality, Skyler comes rushing in the main hall where She is but the Unown seal the door in ice, then Molly starts wishing Her father was there and the Unown bring [[Entei (movie 3)|Entei]]) to her making him think Molly is his child, they pan out and we see the new Greenfield, and the movie starts.

Meanwhile, [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Ash's Friends|his friends]] have landed into Greenfield in the process and agree to join in the rescue mission to save young Molly. However, Entei kidnaps {{Delia}}, following Molly's request for a mother as well. Through Entei's powers, Delia is hypnotized into thinking she is Molly's mother and ends up being kidnapped. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}} and their [[Pokémon]] head out to the mansion to save Delia, communicating with [[Professor Oak]] and Skyler thanks to a [[Pokégear]] device given to them by a Pokémon trainer named {{mov|Lisa}}. [[Team Rocket]] try to investigate the mansion only to be blasted out of the air by Entei into the depths of the mansion. Molly watches Ash and the others through a television and falls asleep, imagining herself being a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Entei creates a dream version of Molly as an adult trainer and takes her to battle the three. She first fights Brock but her dreamed-up Pokémon are stronger then his, and then she has a more friendlier fight against Misty in an underwater battle but the winner is not shown.

Ash manages to locate Molly and Delia, but Molly refuses to leave with him and the mansion transforms. Entei refuses to allow Ash to leave with his mother, and fights his Pokémon. He then blasts Ash and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] off a cliff, but they are saved by the arrival of Ash's [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]]. Charizard with Ash on his back, battles Entei until he is knocked out of the sky. Entei nearly kills Charizard until Molly commands him to stop and begs that no more fighting happens, which manages to stop Entei. Ash and his friends convince Molly to leave with them, Entei revealing he was created by the Unown to be her father.

The Unown suddenly lose control of their powers and start to seal the group in the mansion. Ash, Pikachu, Charizard, Misty, Brock, Delia, Molly and Team Rocket escape down to the hall where the Unown are. Pikachu and Charizard attempt to break the forcefield protecting the Unown, but they are joined by Entei, combining their powers to destroy the shield with Molly's support. Entei sacrifices himself and the Unown return to their dimension, reversing all of their effects on the world and returning Professor Hale to the ruins where he vanished.

The group venture outside where Professor Oak, Skyler, Lisa and others meet them. Team Rocket hide in the mansion upon seeing all of the police outside and vow they will succeed or fail in their next scheme. In the end credits, Charizard and Lisa depart from Ash's company, and Molly is seen with her own {{p|Teddiursa}} and is reunited with her father, and later, her mother.

==Trivia==
[[File:Unreleased Unown.jpg|left|thumb|Unknown Unown]]
* This movie premièred in Japan between the episodes ''[[EP155|The Forest Grumps]]'' and ''[[EP156|The Psychic Sidekicks]]''. Judging by the storyline, it takes place after ''[[EP154|Fowl Play]]'', because [[Ash's Noctowl]] is present, but before ''[[EP165|Hassle In The Castle]]'', because [[Brock's Golbat]] is still a {{p|Zubat}}, so its première took place in proper time.
* The movie's title, ''Spell of the Unown'', refers to both the fact that the crystal covering much of [[Greenfield]] is made by a spell that the Unown have made, but as well that Unown are able to be used to literally spell out words and phrases, which Molly does with the tiles.
* Some of the Unown that appear on Professor Oak's computer are, as of yet, [[Unreleased Pokémon|unreleased]]. However, since they're just drawings, it is possible that they don't really exist in [[Pokémon world]].
* This is the only [[original series]] movie not to feature a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]] as the main Pokémon.
* Jessie and James [[Breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] twice during the movie: first they do so when they sneak past {{an|Misty}} and Molly battling against each other, by asking if they'd have more important a role in the next movie, and again when saving Ash from falling, by saying that without him they wouldn't be in show business.
** Ironically, concerning the first instance of breaking the fourth wall, Team Rocket had a minor role in the fourth movie.
* Professor Oak's computer's task-bar area features Energy symbols from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
* At the end James holds a rose for the first time in several seasons.
* In the UK airings of this movie, the line of dialogue where Molly tells her {{p|Flaaffy}} to use {{m|Headbutt}} is removed (however the shot of Flaaffy using the attack is left intact).
* This is the first movie where an evolution of Dratini is not shown. {{p|Dragonite}} appears before Ash, Misty, and Brock in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'', which is shown before ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', the storm is stopped by a {{p|Dragonair}}.
** On the same note, this is the first movie not to feature a storm.
***Also to note, this is the only movie thus far that only has one legendary Pokémon present in it.
[[Image:Hale's report.png|thumb|275px|The report from Prof. Hale]]
*This marks the first Pokémon Movie in which the lead legendary Pokémon does not speak through telepathy, but rather through allusion.

===Errors===
* For some reason, the report from Prof. Hale about the Unown contains numerous mistakes. Not only is the species spelled as "Unknown", but many obvious spelling and grammar mistakes are made. It seems to be a rough translation of Japanese.
* Unown is in Molly's book of [[legendary Pokémon]], though it is not explicitly legendary in the games.
* In the Region 2 DVD commentary, [[Michael Haigney]] incorrectly states that Entei can talk due to it being a {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} Pokémon. Entei is actually a pure Fire-type, while its ability to talk was given by the Unown.
* In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Misty states that she was the {{ci|Vermilion}} Gym Leader, instead of {{ci|Cerulean}} Gym Leader.

===Dub edits===
* Originally, the scene where Spencer Hale returns from the Unown world was part of the end credits. For the dub, this scene was moved after Greenfield was restored and before the scene where Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, Charizard and Molly come out from the mansion after Greenfield's restoration (the 4Kids staff stated that they did this because western audiences tend to leave the theaters without watching the closing credits. Therefore the producers were worried that if the audience did leave before watching the credits, then they would assume the film ended with Molly still being left as an orphan).
* In the original, Spencer Hale's wife left him due to his obsession with discovering the secrets of the Unown. However, in the dub, her absence was explained as her having gone missing while studying the Unown.

I think those images are pretty good.--[[User:lilkaykaygal|lilkaykaygal]] 07:52, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Given that the "ja" means "snake" (acording to Pokebeach), I think it is safe to assume that Tsutaaja is based on a snake. Mind putting that in the page? --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] 00:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

The same post that told us these names on 2ch, said Tsutaaja is the くさへびポケモン (Grass Snake Pokémon).
Tsuta (蔦) means ivy and Ja is another reading for hebi (蛇), which means snake.--[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] 01:02, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
:How many snakes do you know have feet? I doubt that is a correct translation. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 01:34, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
::The translation is pretty accurate, the source may be not. But the source has nailed the description of the protagonists, the region name, the fact that the other starters were a fire pig and a sea otter before the scans leaked... And I have seen freaky snakes with legs.. XD Mutations nonetheless. And that would be "Grass Snake" as in a snake of/from grass, not as in the real world species "Grass Snake".--[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] 01:41, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
:::There actually is a type of snake with legs, albeit really small ones. It's native to Australia, if I remember right. I know they have one at the Cairns Zoo, anyway. [[User:Reign|Reign]] 02:13, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

:::::: I think Origin should just mention grass snakes (green kind mostly) instead of getting very technical with species, seeing as there is far too many snakes that Tsutaaja may be based on. And maybe that early tidbit of a very few snakes having legs could also be mentioned. And is it just me, or does the collar it has kinda makes it resemble an unripened banana?

Why are we romanizing the name as "Tsutaaja"? {{bp|Manual of style/Romanization}} states that macrons should be used instead of doubling letters, unless the trademarked romanization begs to differ. And there is no trademarked romanization (I scoured the trademark database last night) - we don't even have official confirmation that these ''are'' the starters' names.

I mean, I personally don't like macrons, but shouldn't we romanize it as "Tsutāja," as per the MoS? [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 17:45, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia ==
Tsutaaja, is a reptile-based [[Grass-type]] [[starter]] Pokémon. Since [[Ash Ketchum]] (Satoshi) has captured all the Grass-type starters, and most of reptile-like Pokémons, it is highly possible that he will get this Pokémon somehow in Black and White saga (if he is going to appear in this anime saga).

:I believe that the reason the article is at Tsutaaja for the time being is that we want to avoid using extraneous characters whenever possible in page titles. For some reason, it puts a strain on the server. At least, that's what I recall us deciding awhile back... I could be wrong, though. Either way, the double "a" indicates the same sound without the special character. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 19:48, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Event item

2010-04-11T17:03:11Z

D-Wheel: /* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} */

An '''event item''' is a special type of [[key item]], usually used to get an unobtainable [[legendary Pokémon]].

In the past, they were usually distributed via [[Nintendo events]]. This often limited the availability only to certain countries where Nintendo decided to hold events, and even then, were only held in certain cities were distribution hardware or software could be set up. However, this has changed with the advent of new technology, namely hardware in the form of the [[Nintendo DS]] and DS cards, the software of DS games, better access to the internet, and better availability to Wi-Fi access points or hardware to create one.

Event items in [[Generation IV]] were at first offered at events and over Wi-Fi, but events for items have been phased out in favor of distribution over Wi-Fi. This has two obvious benefits: The first is to players, for as long as one can get Wi-Fi access to the internet, they can receive event items from anywhere. The second is to Nintendo, which saves money from not having to set up events just for items around the world.

In Japan as of Q1 2010, Event Pokémon are distributed simultaneously at events and over Wi-Fi (when not unlocked through another game, and even then, the transferred Pokémon is usually received from events). Owners of the Japanese versions of Gen. IV games, no matter where they are, may use Wi-Fi to receive the Pokémon. In March 2010, the North American/European PAL versions of the Pikachu-colored Pichu for [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond, Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]] became the first event Pokémon outside of Japan to be available through Wi-Fi.

==List of event items==
===[[Generation II]]===
===={{game|Crystal}}====

*'''[[GS Ball]]:''' This item is only legitimately obtainable in the Japanese version games, if the player is inside the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] and the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] is attached to the game. Players need to give it to [[Kurt]], the [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Apricorn Ball]] maker in [[Azalea Town]] and, After he has examined it for a [[time|day]], he will give it back to player. He then sees that [[Ilex Forest]] is restless, so he will ask the player to see what is happening. Inside the forest is [[Ilex Forest shrine|a shrine]] where the GS Ball fits in and, when placed, a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Celebi}} will appear. In other versions of the game, the GS Ball is only obtainable by [[cheating]], but is still programmed into the game.

===[[Generation III]]===
===={{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}====

*'''[[Eon Ticket]]:''' This item can be obtained by scanning a special card into the [[e-Reader]], then talking to [[Norman]], or alternatively, mixing records with someone who has done this. After this, the player must go to [[Lilycove City]] to ask the sailor to take them to the [[Southern Island]], where {{p|Latias}} (Ruby) or {{p|Latios}} (Sapphire) waits with a [[Soul Dew]].

===={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}====

*'''[[Mysticticket]]:''' This item can be obtained only via [[Mystery Gift]] at a [[event Pokémon|Nintendo event]]. After getting it, players must take one of the [[Seagallop Ferries]] to [[Navel Rock]], a small island between [[Floe Island|Floe]] and [[Chrono Island]]s. Here, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} await, with Ho-Oh at the highest point and Lugia in the lowest basement.

*'''[[Aurora Ticket]]:''' This item can be obtained only via [[Mystery Gift]] at a [[event Pokémon|Nintendo event]]. After getting it, players must take one of the [[Seagallop Ferries]] to [[Birth Island]], the southernmost of the [[Sevii Islands]]. A small, glass-like triangle lies in the middle of the island, and a puzzle must be solved in order for a {{p|Deoxys}} to appear from it.

===={{game|Emerald}}====
*'''Eon Ticket:''' This item can be obtained by scanning a special card into the [[e-Reader]], then talking to [[Norman]], or alternatively, mixing records with someone who has done this. After this, the player must go to the [[S.S. Tidal]] to ask the sailor to take them to the [[Southern Island]], where {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}}, depending on which Pokémon was selected to roam Hoenn, waits with a [[Soul Dew]].

*'''Mystic Ticket:''' This item can be obtained only via [[Mystery Gift]] at a Nintendo event. After getting it, players must take one of the [[S.S. Tidal]] to [[Navel Rock]]. Here, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} await, with Ho-Oh at the highest point and Lugia in the lowest basement.

*'''Aurora Ticket:''' This item can be obtained only via [[Mystery Gift]] at a Nintendo event. After getting it, players must take one of the [[S.S. Tidal]] to [[Birth Island]]. A small, glass-like triangle lies in the middle of the island, and a puzzle must be solved in order for a {{p|Deoxys}} to appear from it.

*'''[[Old Sea Map]]:''' Occasionally referred to as the Old Sea Chart, this item is only legitimately obtainable in Japanese version games and can be obtained only via [[Mystery Gift]] at a Nintendo event. After getting it, players must take the [[S.S. Tidal]] to [[Faraway Island]], an island so far away that it is not near any [[region]]s. This is where a {{p|Mew}} hides in the grass. After chasing the Mew around, the {{player}} gets a chance to capture it.

===[[Generation IV]]===
===={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{v2|Platinum}}====

*'''{{OBP|Secret Key|Generation IV}}:''' This item is only available in Platinum. It is also the first event item in the fourth generation to be released despite being discovered the last. This enables players to go to a secret room in the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] where {{p|Rotom}} can transform between its forms. [[Professor Rowan]] makes a brief appearance in the building when the player does this for the first time.

*'''[[Member's Card]]:''' Sometimes called the Member Card or the Membership Pass, this key item can only be used when the event to capture {{p|Cresselia}} has been completed. After getting it, the locked house in [[Canalave City]] will open, and a man inside will tell the player that they have been waiting a long time for him or her. After falling asleep in the bed, the player will be warped to [[Newmoon Island]] where {{p|Darkrai}} awaits to be captured.

*'''[[Oak's Letter]]:''' After getting it, [[Professor Oak]] will appear on {{rt|224}} near the white stone tablet at its north end. After inscribing on the rock what the player is thankful for on their Pokémon journey, the [[Seabreak Path]] will appear from nowhere, and the only {{p|Shaymin}} in the game will approach. It will then return to the [[Flower Paradise]] on the other end of the Seabreak Path, where the player must follow it to capture it.

*'''[[Azure Flute]]:''' The event to capture {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} must have been completed for this key item to activate. After getting it and traveling through the caves of [[Mt. Coronet]] to [[Spear Pillar]], a soft tune will play in the wind. After blowing into it, a staircase will appear that leads up to the [[Hall of Origin]], where {{p|Arceus}} awaits. This item has yet to be distributed officially.

===={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}====

*'''[[Enigma Stone]]:''' This item is only obtainable in HeartGold and SoulSilver. This items has a feature similar to the [[Eon Ticket]], allowing for the capture of {{p|Latias}} (in SoulSilver) or {{p|Latios}} (in HeartGold) after being taken to the museum in [[Pewter City]] and changing into the [[Soul Dew]].

'''Ariana''' (Japanese: '''アテナ''' ''Athena'') is one of the four [[Team Rocket]] [[Rocket Executive|Executives]] introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Her name wasn't revealed until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, though.

==In the games==
Ariana is the only female [[Rocket Executive]] in the reborn [[Team Rocket]] in [[Johto]]. She appears to be [[Archer]]'s second-in-command, although upon first challenging the player, she calls herself the interim boss of Team Rocket in place of Giovanni. The player battles her twice, first in the [[Team Rocket HQ]], in a double battle with a [[Rocket Grunt|Grunt]] on her side and [[Lance]] on the player's side (in [[Generation II]], the player battles her alone), and again in the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], where she is the last challenge before [[Archer]]. When defeated in the Team Rocket HQ, she notes that the player is strong enough to become an Executive if they joined Team Rocket, and after being beaten in the Radio Tower admits that she admires the player's power.

Ariana seems to appear in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as an unnamed female [[Team Rocket Admin]] in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]]. After the player defeats her, she understands their motivations for opposing Team Rocket and flips a switch to redirect the [[spinner]]s nearby to give the player easier access back from the warehouse entrance.

Like the other Executives, Ariana was given a major overhaul in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Her identity was expanded on, her color scheme was noticeably changed, and her hair was restyled.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==

Ariana appears in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} of the Pokémon Adventures manga, alongside the other three executives. They appear at the end of the first round to take over control of Team Rocket from [[Carr]], saying that they will stay true to [[Giovanni]]'s intentions.

==Trivia==

* As she is the only female Executive in the Johto's Team Rocket, she could be easily adapted from her [[Generation II]] design in [[Generation IV]]. In this respect, she is the female counterpart of [[Archer]], who was based on the original male Executive. However, [[Proton]] and [[Petrel]], originally using the same sprite as Archer, had to be designed from scratch.
* [[Chermaine]] from [[Pokémon Adventures]] is based on Ariana's original [[Generation II]] design, and is named differently because of the lack of names for the executives at the time. This makes her Ariana's [[cross-canon counterpart]].

Slowpoke Well

'''Slowpoke Well''' (Japanese: '''ヤドンのいど''' ''{{tt|Yadon|Slowpoke}} Well'') is a man-made cave located at the edge of [[Azalea Town]]. It is located just north-west of {{rt|33}}, first seen on the way to Azalea Town. The cave is home to a wide variety of [[wild Pokémon]], but is unique for being the home of Azalea Town's {{p|Slowpoke}}, which they use as pets. It is said that a {{p|Slowpoke}} from the well ended a drought that plagued Azalea 400 years before the games' events by {{m|yawn}}ing.

Slowpoke Well is where the player first encounters the revived [[Team Rocket]], who are cutting off the tails of Slowpoke to sell at their HQ in [[Mahogany Town]]. Before talking to [[Kurt]] in his house, there will be a [[Team Rocket Grunt]] guarding the entrance of the well, and will not let anyone in. When entering Kurt's house for the first time, he will quickly run out after saying something about going to the Slowpoke Well. He will defeat the grunt at the entrance, then will fall into the well and injure his back. After [[Kurt]] is injured while trying to stop Team Rocket, the player has to defeat the Grunts and rescue the kidnapped Slowpoke.

There are two floors; the first one can be explored when Team Rocket attacks, whereas the other cannot be reached until later. Later in the game, after the player has acquired both {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}}, they can explore the lower floor of the well. There is a man on an island who will give players a [[Held item#King's Rock|King's Rock]] if they talk to him.

==Geography==
====PokéGear's Map Information====
''When SLOWPOKE are thirsty, they come here to drink.''

===Exterior===
The Slowpoke Well is located on the east side of [[Azalea Town]], just north of {{rt|33}}. The well is a actually a large cave with many chambers. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Slowpoke Well can be accessed to by going down a small flight of stairs into the dark cave below. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is sloping ramp that winds around the well, slowly descending in an indented section of ground. The aesthetics of the well have also been updated to show a small, circular, brick well, which can only be entered by going straight into the hole of the well.

</gallery>

===Interior===
[[File:Slowpokewell.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Ethan}} inside Slowpoke Well in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
Upon entering the cave, there will be a small pool of water to the west, and a narrow passageway to the north. During the Team Rocket attack, the cave will be populated with [[Team Rocket Grunt]]s looking for battle. By traveling up and down the small ledge, the other side of the cave can be reached. From there, the path travels north, then west through a narrow strip between the wall of the well and rocks, finally traveling south to a pool of water deep within the cave. After {{m|surf}}ing through the pool of water, there is a small island in the middle of the cave that has the stairs to the lower floor of the well.

The lower floor can only be accessed after the player has acquired both {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}}. This section of the well enters from the ladder in the middle of the cave, on an island in an underground lake. By {{m|surf}}ing around this floor, there is a man on an island who will give players a [[Held item#King's Rock|King's Rock]] if they talk to him, while {{TM|18|Rain Dance}} can be found on the ground.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the cave seems to have changed slightly. There are several map changes within the cave, including a new section coming from the first floor; a flight of stairs going down within the cave, traveling east shortly, then south.

:::While it is a confusing style choice (and hell for cosplay), Brendan does wear trousers and then shorts on top. They're not long socks, at least from what I can tell.

They look like tube socks that are about the same color as his shorts (notice how what you're calling "long pants" aren't as baggy as his pants in Ruby and Sapphire; rather, they're tight like socks). It's not like there aren't socks that are that long. Do ''you'' have an official source regarding his clothes?

I'm really unsure myself, seeing as I don't try and pay all too much attention to it, and my interpretation is also slightly askew because [[Ruby (Special)|of the manga]]. This topic is starting to drift away from being related to Gold and more being related to Brendan, so can we either get back onto it, or move this section to [[Talk:Brendan (game)|Brendan's page]].

:::::::No, but it doesn't look like you have a source saying he's wearing two pairs of pants at the same time, which is more unusual than wearing shorts and long socks. I think they look like socks because whatever he's wearing under his shorts doesn't look like his pants in Ruby and Sapphire, which were baggier and not a solid color. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 23:15, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

== Gold's Gen II sprites ==

I started up Crystal and got into a battle with [[Carrie]] at the Trainer House and Gold's Gold and Silver sprite is used for her (her page mentions using Gold's sprite), despite Gold's own Trainer Card displaying that game's new sprite (shown in the sprites section). Can this usage be mentioned? The only problem is that I haven't been able to confirm how it's used for other Trainer House opponents (such as [[Cal]]) as well as during link battles. Does anyone know what the case is with those? --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 23:57, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
:Cal uses character's sprite because he's a placeholder for a proper player (who the player connects, when he uses IR-DA capabilities of GBC). This is a simply technical limitation. If Cal's gonna be featured in HGSS, then he'll probably have his own sprite (he had his own design in Stadium 2, anyways). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 06:17, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
::I wasn't referring to how they use Gold's sprite, I'm talking about how in Crystal they don't use [[a:File:Gold_crystal.png|his sprite from that game]], instead using [[a:File:Gold.gif|his sprite from Gold and Silver]]. I should have made that more clear. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 14:45, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

== Defaults in HGSS ==

Well, Festa's video shows him having a default name of Hiroki and another as Soul, while Soul gets Miki and Heart. Now, given that's not a guarantee of their names. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

::Personally, I think we should wait to see what their names are when they're NPCs (such as how the names for Brendan, May, Dawn, and Lucas come from the names used as NPCs).

== Pointless trivia I noticed ==

Gold appears to be the only player character (at least the only male player character) to wear his headgear (in this case, a baseball cap) backward. (I'm only counting game characters, since [[Red (Special)|Red's Pokémon Adventures counterpart]] wears his hat like this in the chapters based on Generation I.) Can this be added? --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 17:55, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

== Hibiki? ==

Since the girl was confirmed to be Kotone, why isn't Gold's article moved to Hibiki. It was shown on the PokeGear screen referring to him as such and doesn't seem likely the opposite gender character is nameable.

And the girl is Kotone, not Hibiki. {{unsigned|Raine}}
:It could of been one of the default names or the person who was playing the game named it. Therefore, Hibiki is not his real name just wait for the games to come out. --[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''☆Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチ''']][[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''ュウ!''']] 00:55, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Ah, but the girl was the player during the time. (When Shoko was playing HG.)

It wasn't referring to the player character since it was on the Phone List.--[[User:Raine|Raine]] 00:59, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
:The player's mom refers to a friend named Hibiki while playing as the girl, so it must indeed be his NPC name. See here: [http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g29/vs_seeker/mom.jpg]. This also matches Kotone's name (which means "koto sound" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koto_(musical_instrument)]), since it means echo, sound, reverberation, noise. [[User:Capsule Computer|Capsule Computer]] 08:36, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
So... since Hibiki has been confirmed to be his official name, shouldn't the page be renamed Hibiki (game), and "Gold (game)" can redirect here? [[User:FireMeowth|FireMeowth]] 14:53, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

::::We didn't rename Blue's article to Green when FRLG were released. So should we change this article's name? - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]] 21:10, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::Cause people hate Kotone's name. That's the only reason it is an issue. They figure since she can't be Soul, Gold should be Hibiki. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:13, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::I thought that it was because Blue's NPC Appearance trumps his Rival Appearance, since the player can still name him in FRLG. If he's "Green" in HGSS (outside Japan, anyway), then I think he should be moved to Green. Thus, I think Gold should be moved to Hibiki... once we get his English Name, anyway.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 21:46, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::It's not just because of that, Kenji-girl. I liked Kotone's actual name better than Soul. We didn't rename Blue because that's the only way he was formally referred to in the games. Even with FRLG released, he was never called Green. Hibiki was never formally called Gold in the games, and now '''he's being clearly called Hibiki'''. So, I think that's it. - [[User:D-Wheel|D-Wheel]] 22:08, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::::::::::::So basically, we're assuming that:
::::::::::::::::The RGBY protagonist is named after the "first" version of the generation he debuted on, Red.
::::::::::::::::The RGBY rival is named after the "second" version of the generation he debuted on, Green/Blue.
::::::::::::::::The GSC rival is named after the "second" version of the generation he debuted on, Silver.
::::::::::::::::Going from that, isn't it safe to assume that Gold was the GSC boy's original official name (not just a fan name), and the remakes simply changed it to Hibiki because, as a set name ala Brendan/May/Lucas/Dawn, it would look out of place in comparison with the new girl's name (saying "Gold and Kotone" sounds much more weird than saying "Hibiki and Kotone")? Also, more evidence of the GSC boy's original name being Gold is that Red, Blue/Green, Silver and Kris' names appear in the games at top of the list of selectable player names. Red's name was was the top one in Pokémon Red, Blue/Green's was in Pokémon Blue/Green, Silver's was in Pokémon Silver, and Kris' was in Pokémon Crystal (as the first available name for the female trainer). So following the pattern used by every other Gen I/II player character and rival, the GSC boy's name should be the one that is at the top of the list of selectable names in Pokémon Gold, Gold (duh). - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]] 01:38, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::Nope, the protaganist and rival from GSC The protaganists and rivals names were both confirmed in GS, where they could be battled. Official names for them was never used pre-HGSS. And we can't rely on DATA, now when we DO have an official name - in-game data is often different than the official name, for instance, Blues in-game data in FRLG calls him "KERRY", or something similar.

If Red's name were to change, I'd certainly advocate that it be moved. As for arguments pertaining to Kotone, that IS a dead issue.

I mean, seriously, the article is about (a )character(s) from Generations II ''AND'' IV; if it was only about Ethan, Gold would have a separate page, like Lyra and Kris. The name “Ethan” had in fact already been revealed in February, though not officially, and there is [[User talk:TTEchidna/Archive Jan-Mar 10#Barry's Page|evidence in TTE’s Talk Archives]] suggesting that he had already grudgingly accepted that it would be confirmed. Besides which, the opening montage had already been seen in the Japanese versions well before, including the 2 seconds where she is on a gold background with him on a silver. Of course, anyone may change his mind, including TTE, and I didn’t know whether or not he put significant thought into that comment when he made it, or what his opinion might now be since the games’ English release, which is why I asked him( albeit late due to posting issues) to look in on this discussion. But you couldn’t claim he lacked access to information when he said that, and his new comment just affirms it all. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 02:41, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

::::Except Ethan ''doesn’t'' sound like echo, at all really. They are completely dissimilar phonetically. Ethan has a long E, while echo has a short e, which are very different sounds in English. The h performs completely different functions in the two different digraphs. None of the phonemes are significantly similar. Clearly, the Biblical reference to a musician is more significant than the orthographic similarity, since all his other names are related to sounds or musical instruments, as is Lyra. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 23:02, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== The page name should be Gold (game). ==

At least, he should be referred to as Gold in mentions of Generation II. He's only Ethan as the NPC in 4th Gen. Everywhere else, he's Gold. [[User:Emyunoxious|Emyunoxious]] 21:48, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

::Can you guys not see the extensive debate we had over this? ''On the same talk page''? He's staying as Ethan because it's the only official name we have for him now- makes sense to call him that.

==FireRed/LeafGreen==

Since we're taking a leap and saying that Apollo is the executive in charge of TR in GSC as well as HGSS, how would FRLG add into this? We have two [[Team Rocket Admin]]s (one male and one female) in the Sevii Islands. The Female one could be Athena. Does anyone else have any thoughts?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 17:51, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think so because FRLG happened before HGSS/GSC (chronologically) and the levels are higher. [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 17:54, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

::: I meant that there is no known way of leveling down in the main games and it had a higher level so there must have been a leveling down.

:::::That is different. In Bruno's case, he has a name and in [[Pokémon Adventures]], he joins with the other members of the Johto E4 after quitting the Kanto E4.

:Ok then, we need to get someone to add this now. I'd do it myself but it won't let me edit this page. Same with the other pages. Also, should we rename most of the pages about HGSS to match the english name of should we just wait until the release, because I think most people are used to calling characters by their japanese names.

== In Stadium 2 ==

Couldn't we say that Archer/Apollo also appeared as the Rocket Executive in Gym Leader Castle? That battle used his 'canonical design' of the time and the character played the exact same role (boss of Team Rocket in Giovanni's place). You could say the same thing about Arianna/Athena, who has a stronger case because there was only ever one female Executive. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 06:26, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

==Interim boss==
Is it really correct to assume that Archer is the interim boss of Team Rocket? He never identifies himself like that - on the other hand, Ariana explicitly identifies herself as the "interim boss in the place of Giovanni". - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] 19:01, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
: This is a good question. Ariana's statement ("As the interim boss in place of Giovanni, I'll show you not to mess with Team Rocket!") is in the original games too, so isn't there a case? --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 06:01, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

::: Something doesn't add up. They call Petrel the boss too, in the Mahogany base. I wonder if Team Rocket has more of a council leadership instead of just a single Boss in this incarnation. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 02:08, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

'''Archer''' (Japanese: '''アポロ''' ''Apollo'') is one of the four [[Team Rocket]] [[Rocket Executive|Executives]] introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, he went unnamed until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==In the games==
Archer is the interim head of Team Rocket during the absence of [[Giovanni]]. He leads the team in its takeover of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], aiming to locate his missing leader and bring him back to the team.

Archer also seems to make an appearance in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as an unnamed male [[Team Rocket Admin]] in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]]. Here, he is the leader of the [[Sevii Islands]] branch of Team Rocket, and accuses the player of spreading rumors that Team Rocket has disbanded. When the player defeats the him, he recognizes the [[Earth Badge]] and accepts that Giovanni has been defeated, but vows to find him and resurrect Team Rocket someday. The computer he was working on mentions [[Red Gyarados|the effect of radio waves on Pokémon evolution]], foreshadowing Team Rocket's actions three years later.

Just like other Executives, Archer received a major overhaul in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where his identity was expanded on. In addition, his color scheme was noticeably switched, where he now wears white clothes on the topmost layer, as opposed to the traditional black outfit.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[Image:Rocket Executives Adventures.png‎|200px|right|thumb|The Four Generals in the manga]]
Archer appears in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} of the Pokémon Adventures manga alongside the other three executives. They appear at the end of the first round to take over control of Team Rocket from [[Carr]], saying that they will stay true to [[Giovanni]]'s intentions.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Archer's design in [[Generation IV]] is based upon the original sprite of all male [[Rocket Executive|Rocket Executives]] from [[Generation II]]. The other two male Executives (now known as [[Proton]] and [[Petrel]]), who also used that sprite, were given entirely new designs. Similarly, [[Ariana]]'s design is based on the original female Executive sprite, being the only female Executive in Johto.
* Before Archer's name and identity were revealed in [[Generation IV]], [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]] had adapted the original male Executive as [[Keane]] and [[Grey]], respectively. Having similar roles to Archer and owning a {{p|Houndour}}, they should be considered as his [[cross-canon counterparts]].
* Considering [[Saturn]] is left the assets of Team Galactic in [[Cyrus]]'s absence, Archer could be seen as his parallel, as he controls Team Rocket in [[Giovanni]]'s absence.

'''Ariana''' (Japanese: '''アテナ''' ''Athena'') is one of the four [[Team Rocket]] [[Rocket Executive|Executives]] introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Her name wasn't revealed until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, though.

==In the games==
Ariana is the only female [[Rocket Executive]] in the reborn [[Team Rocket]] in [[Johto]]. She appears to be [[Archer]]'s second-in-command, although upon first challenging the player, she calls herself the interim boss of Team Rocket in place of Giovanni. The player battles her twice, first in the [[Team Rocket HQ]], in a double battle with a [[Rocket Grunt|Grunt]] on her side and [[Lance]] on the player's side (in [[Generation II]], the player battles her alone), and again in the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], where she is the last challenge before [[Archer]]. When defeated in the Team Rocket HQ, she notes that the player is strong enough to become an Executive if they joined Team Rocket, and after being beaten in the Radio Tower admits that she admires the player's power.

Ariana seems to appear in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as an unnamed female [[Team Rocket Admin]] in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]]. After the player defeats her, she understands their motivations for opposing Team Rocket and flips a switch to redirect the [[spinner]]s nearby to give the player easier access back from the warehouse entrance.

Like the other Executives, Ariana was given a major overhaul in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Her identity was expanded on, her color scheme was noticeably changed, and her hair was restyled.

{{-}}

==Trivia==

* As she is the only female Executive in the Johto's Team Rocket, she could be easily adapted from her [[Generation II]] design in [[Generation IV]]. In this respect, she is the female counterpart of [[Archer]], who was based on the original male Executive. However, [[Proton]] and [[Petrel]], originally using the same sprite as Archer, had to be designed from scratch.
* [[Chermaine]] from [[Pokémon Adventures]] is based on Ariana's original [[Generation II]] design, and is named differently because of the lack of names for the executives at the time. This makes her Ariana's [[cross-canon counterpart]].

'''Petrel''' (Japanese: '''ラムダ''' ''Lambda'') is one of the four [[Team Rocket]] [[Rocket Executive|Executives]] introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, his true identity wasn't revealed until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==In the games==
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Petrel is apparently Team Rocket's master of disguise. He is first seen dressing as [[Giovanni]] and then battled in the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. In [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] he appears again, using his disguise skills again, this time dressed as Radio Tower Director.

Petrel's motives on Team Rocket are more mild-mannered, as he freely gives out information such as passwords and the location of the director. He even considers himself a "nice guy" and hands over the key. In fact, it his giving out of this information that leads to many of Team Rocket's defeats, despite his opinion that the Player can't use the information anyways.

Petrel's position has existed since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, his existence was easy to miss because all Rocket Executives used the same sprite (now adopted as [[Archer]]'s canonical design), making it seem to some like there was only one Executive. The Rocket Executive (as well as the Grunt) Proton is based on was then given a canonical design and an official name in HeartGold and SoulSilver, along with the other three Executives, to distinguish them as individuals. [[Proton]]'s case is the same.

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation II]], all the Rocket Executives (male and female) went unnamed. In the case of the male Executives, they all shared the same sprite, which eventually led to some confusion among the fans when [[Proton]] and Petrel were revealed. Many to initially believe they were two new characters introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. However, closer research proved that the Executive role Petrel is filling has existed since {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}}, having same role and Pokémon as his [[Generation IV]] counterpart. The only addition to his role is his masquerading as Giovanni, which no other character did in the original versions.

'''Proton''' (Japanese: '''ランス''' ''Lance'') is one of the four [[Team Rocket]] [[Rocket Executive|Executives]] introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, his true identity wasn't revealed until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

|| Proton's VS sprite from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}
|}

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Proton is first seen and battled in the [[Slowpoke Well]], where [[Team Rocket]] is trying to cut off {{p|Slowpoke}} tails to make a profit. Later, the player meets and battles him for the second time in [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

Proton is labeled as the scariest and cruelest of Team Rocket, yet also remains one of the more popular executives. A grunt in the Radio Tower admits to how she admires him. Proton seems to be very wrathful, using the very word several times in his dialogue.

In [[Generation II]], the character of Proton is, in reality, two characters: an ordinary [[Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]] originally taking his place in [[Slowpoke Well]] and a Rocket Executive encountered in the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]]. These two are amalgamated into Proton for [[Generation IV]], who shares both their single Pokémon.

Proton's position has existed since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, his existence was easy to miss because all Rocket Executives used the same sprite (now adopted as [[Archer]]'s canonical design), making it seem to some like there was only one Executive. The Rocket Executive (as well as the Grunt) Proton is based on was then given a canonical design and an official name in HeartGold and SoulSilver, along with the other three Executives, to distinguish them as individuals. [[Petrel]]'s case is the same.

===Quotes===
===={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}====
'''Slowpoke Well'''
*Before battle
:''"What do we have here? I am often labeled as the scariest and cruelest guy in Team Rocket... I strongly urge you not to interfere with our business!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"It doesn't matter where we go, there's always someone that doesn't agree with us..."''

*During battle
:''"Are you serious? Did you come here thinking you could mess with our plans?"''

*When defeated
:''"Grr... For a kid to be this good... I didn't see it coming."''

*After being defeated
:''"Humph... Team Rocket was indeed broken up three years ago. But we continued our activities underground. A small obstacle like you won't be much of a problem for our mission. I advise you to be very afraid of what is to come!"''

'''Radio Tower'''
*Before battle
:''"Now, wait just one second! Aren't you the one who got in our way at the Slowpoke Well? I see... You're doing all this because you want to make me angry. Be careful! But since you seem to wish it, I'll show you the full extent of a Team Rocket Executive's wrath!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Seriously, you'd chase me this far?!"''

*During battle
:''"Ugh... What are you?!"''

*When defeated
:''"Phew..."''

*After being defeated
:''"You may have won this time... But all you did was make Team Rocket's wrath grow..."''

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[Image:Rocket Executives Adventures.png‎|200px|right|thumb|The Four Generals in the manga]]
Proton appears in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} of the Pokémon Adventures manga alongside the other three executives. They appear at the end of the first round to take over control of Team Rocket from [[Carr]], saying that they will stay true to [[Giovanni]]'s intentions.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation II]], all the Rocket Executives (male and female) went unnamed. In the case of the male Executives, they all shared the same sprite, which eventually led to some confusion among the fans when Proton and [[Petrel]] were revealed. Many to initially believe they were two new characters introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. However, closer research proved that the Executive role Proton is filling has existed since {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}}, appearing in the same place in [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and training {{p|Golbat}}, just like his [[Generation IV]] counterpart. However, a {{p|Weezing}} was added to his team, to compensate for his additional role of replacing the [[Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]] that originally participated in the [[Slowpoke Well]] mission, who had the {{p|Koffing}} Proton is initially seen with.

That Man, {{tt|Kurotsugu|Palmer}}!!'') is the 141st episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 607th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on September 3, 2009 and in the United States on January 23, 2010.
{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
As the day comes to a close, {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Barry}} walk with {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} along the path lined with stands. The vendors eagerly talk to him as Ash notices how famous Palmer is. He runs to the center of the road and brings out his {{p|Dragonite}} for a little demonstration. {{an|Brock}} shows up as Barry informs him who Palmer is. When Ash hears that Palmer was one of the top {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in {{to|Twinleaf}}, Ash challenges him to a {{pkmn|battle}}, but {{an|Dawn}} and Barry are both eager to as well. Barry tells them about the upcoming tournament, where the winner will get the opportunity to battle Palmer. Barry also tells them the critical piece that Palmer is a [[Frontier Brain]] for the [[Sinnoh]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, leader of the {{si|Battle Tower}} and known as the Tower Tycoon. After Palmer confirms the tournament for the next day, Ash looks forward to it, confident that he will win. At Dawn's house, Dawn cooks with [[Johanna|her mother]] as they talk about how famous Palmer is and how they plan to battle. Brock intends to enter the tournament as well, but when he turns to {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, he finds {{cat|Brock's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} admiring a [[Gender|female]] {{p|Croagunk}} on [[television]].

The next day marks the last day of the [[Twinleaf Festival]] as Johanna hosts the battle tournament. She brings out {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} to kick off the tournament with some sparkle. As she gets the crowd excited, she is prepared to introduce Palmer, but he is nowhere in sight. Instead, he is at [[Team Rocket]]'s booth, muching on their food. Ash and his friends seek out Palmer as they find him eating. Palmer doesn't seem to concerned at first, but when Johanna calls out over the loudspeakers, he panics and gives Ash a box of food before running to the field, followed by the rest. The tournaments is back on track as Johanna introduces Palmer, ready to witness fierce battles and find the person worthy of challenging him, getting the crowd fired up. The battle rules are set as people will duel one on one, working up a ladder until a winner is found. The competitive spirit between Ash, Dawn, Brock and Barry gets going as Johanna mentions that the winner will get a gold trophy. The judge, [[Sayer|Mr. Sayer]], oversees the tournament. Many battles quickly plan on screen as the timeline jumps to the final match, with Ash and Barry going at it. Ultimately, {{AP|Pikachu}} bests {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} as Ash wins the battle tournament, upsetting both Dawn and Barry.

As the exhibition match gets underway, Johanna introduces Ash to the crowd, getting a good review. Palmer looks forward to battling Ash as he sends out {{p|Rhyperior}}. The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s sheer size surprises Ash as he checks with his [[Pokédex]]. Palmer informs Ash that no Trainer has bested his Rhyperior. After analyzing Rhyperior's [[Elemental type]]s, he first believes that {{stat|speed}} will prevail, but based on previous [[gym]] battles, he knows Palmer will be ready. Ash decides to summon {{AP|Grotle}} to the field, the {{t|Grass|type advantage}} logical. Dawn thought {{AP|Buizel}} would be better as Barry frowns on Ash underestimating his father. Mr. Sayer sets the battle as a one-on-one with Ash going first. Grotle immediately fires {{m|Energy Ball}}, as Rhyperior stands firm and takes it without so much as a scratch thanks to {{a|Solid Rock}}. Though Palmer compliments Ash on Grotle's strength, he orders Rhyperior to use {{m|Rock Polish}}. Grotle fires {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Rhyperior dodges quickly, shocking everyone at how fast it moved thanks to Rock Polish. Rhyperior gets close and launches {{m|Sandstorm}}. Grotle stands firm as the attack surrounds and batter Grotle. Rhyperior launches a {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, harming Grotle even more, but Grotle stands firm. While [[Jessie]] and [[James]] watch, upsetting {{MTR}} who has to work, Ash has Grotle use {{m|Synthesis}} to heal since Rhyperior has to rest. It taps into the healing move since the sandstorm has not blocked out the sun from above. Grotle recovers and uses Razor Leaf to neutralize the Sandstorm.

Rhyperior recovers and charges with {{m|Megahorn}}. Grotle primes Energy Ball, waiting for Rhyperior to get closer. However, Rhyperior closes in too quickly and hits Energy Ball with Megahorn, forcing Grotle to swallow it. The results shock everyone as Grotle taps into a large amount of power, green aura radiating from its back. Dawn takes note of it, thinking it would be good in a {{pkmn|Contest}}. Though as shocked as everyone, Palmer has Rhyperior launch Rock Wrecker as it creates a mountain on the field. Grotle taps into {{m|Rock Climb}} and charges forward, ascending the rock formation and dodging the attack before ramming into Rhyperior and driving it back with brutal strength, impressing Barry and Palmer. However, Rhyperior uses its tail to stop Grotle's charge before landing a Rock Wrecker at point-blank range, creating a huge explosion and destroying the field mountain. As the smoke clears, Rhyperior is clearly exhausted, but Grotle lies at its feet, [[Unable to battle|knocked out]]. Though it appears upsetting, Ash takes it in stride as he compliments Grotle. Palmer presents the trophy to Ash for winning the tournament.

Later on, Barry talks to Ash about how he experienced battling Palmer, his strength apparent as Dawn sympathizes, reflecting on [[DP138|her battle]] with her mother. The thought of {{pkmn|training|raising}} Pokémon brings Ash to reflect on how [[DP132|he lost]] to [[Paul]] and how he is able to raise strong Pokémon. The music starts as Barry quickly chows down to rush and sing the last song. Dawn remembers what she saw during the battle and plans to incorporate it into her next Contest performance. Palmer walks over and suggests to Ash to go and challenge the {{ci|Sunyshore}} Gym, even hinting about the [[Gym Leader|gym leader]]. The next day, Ash and his friends set off from Dawn's house, bidding Johanna farewell as they head to Dawn's next Contest. Barry races past the group as he plans to get to Sunyshore first.

}}
{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver}}
'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters HeartGold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters SoulSilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] {{wp|video game remake|remake}}s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Much like {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting area being [[New Bark Town]]. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Some aspects exclusive to {{v2|Crystal}} are also included. Like FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto, such as [[Starters#Sinnoh|the Sinnoh starters]].

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of {{ga|Ethan|Crystal's player character}}, is not included as the female player character, with a {{ga|Lyra|new character}} instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the [[player character]] or not, this new character will still appear in the game, taking a pseudo-[[rival]] role similar to the unselected characters of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes the Netherlands, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The male [[player character]], now called {{ga|Ethan}}, receives a redesign while {{ga|Lyra}} replaces {{ga|Kris}}.
* All the game's music is rearranged to better utilize the DS's sound capabilities. A [[GB Sounds|key item]] allows the player to switch back and forth freely between the arranged soundtrack and original chiptune soundtrack.
* The [[Pokégear]] has been redesigned. There are a range of skins that can be used and changed at the player's will.
* Much like Kanto's was for its remakes, Johto's Pokédex has been redesigned. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]] as the originals, [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|the original regional Pokédex]] for Johto has been [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|slightly altered]], including several [[Generation IV]] evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto.
* An image of certain locations, like in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering the location. Some of these images change depending on the time of day while others change the image of the Pokémon obtainable at the location on the image at random.
* [[Team Rocket Grunt]]s are redesigned once again.
* [[Rocket Executive]]s are also redesigned from Generation II, with four new ones appearing: [[Archer]], [[Arianna]], [[Petrel]], and [[Proton]]. Like [[Team Galactic]]'s [[Commander]]s followed a planetary naming scheme, the Rocket Executives are all named for various real-world rockets.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} each have their own unique battle music, while the [[legendary beasts]] each use differently remixed versions of their battle theme from {{game|Crystal}}.
* [[Kurt]] and [[Apricorn]]s make a return to the series along with their respective [[Poké Ball]]s. Apricorns can now be carried by the player in their own [[bag]] with a new item, the [[Apricorn Case]].
* All former Berry trees have become [[Apricorn]] trees.
* [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, {{ga|Silver}}, and {{ga|Red}} have animated battle sprites and battle intros, as in {{v2|Platinum}}. Many [[Gym]]s have been redesigned as well, some with new puzzles.
* {{m|Rock Smash}}, previously a TM usable on the field in the originals, is now a full-fledged HM as it has been since [[Generation III]]. {{m|Defog}} loses its HM status to the returning {{m|Whirlpool}}.
* Ambient sound effects are used with greater frequency than in previous games; for example, running water and the player walking through grass will produce audible noises.
* The [[Magnet Train]]'s tracks can be seen overground in locations such as [[Route 32]].
* [[Pal Park]] is located where the closed [[Kanto Safari Zone]] once stood in [[Fuchsia City]].
* The [[RageCandyBar]] is now a [[key item]]. This is likely to prevent the player from trading it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which does not have any item data for it.
* The player can now see how many Kanto badges they have. In the original games, the player could only see how many Johto Badges they had.
* [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]], while sharing a theme in Generation II, now feature separate remixed variations of the same theme.
* Some music in Kanto is changed, with [[Mt. Moon]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] changing their music to that which is used by of Johto's [[Union Cave]] and [[Ice Path]], respectively. Music in Cerulean City and Fuchsia City, as well as on [[Route]]s {{rtn|24}} and {{rtn|25}}, rather than taking the theme used in Pewter City, Celadon City, and on {{rt|3}} as they did in the original Generation II games, keep the theme used in Generation I and Generation III. The music used on {{rt|2}}, however, is different from any previous generation; the Generation II theme, a remix of the Viridian Forest theme in Generation I, is used solely in Viridian Forest, while the theme used in Generation I and Generation III is, like in Generation II, only used on {{rt|1}}. Route 2 instead uses the theme that first appears on {{rt|3}}. [[Cinnabar Island]] also gets its own music, a remix of its original theme, instead of using the Saffron City theme.

===Location changes===
[[File:HGSS_JohtoKanto.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], the accessible regions in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level, where [[Professor Elm|the professor]] and his family live, his old house being occupied by Lyra/Ethan and her/his family.
* The {{jo|Battle Tower}} west of [[Olivine City]], introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, returns, bringing with it the exact same {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation IV}} seen in Platinum.
* Two new routes, [[Route 47]] and [[Route 48]], are introduced near [[Cianwood City]]. They lead to a new [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], as well as the [[Embedded Tower]].
* [[Mt. Silver]] is much bigger and [[Viridian Forest]] is not cut down.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] remain as they were in Generation III (though [[Blaine]] still takes part of the Seafoam Islands), allowing the [[legendary Pokémon]] that live inside them to be battled. {{p|Moltres}}, formerly found in {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Mt. Ember]], can be found in Mt. Silver.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] takes a role similar to Sinnoh's [[Battleground]].

===Gameplay changes===
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of [[walking Pokémon|following players]] similar to [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in {{v2|Yellow}}. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] is also retained. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A', and can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball, unless in certain situations, such as while riding the [[bicycle]] or going into a small space with a big Pokémon.
* Similarly to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}}'s effect on Platinum, the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] will unlock an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Shrine]], where the [[Spiky-Eared Pichu]] can be obtained.
* The [[Pokémon storage system]], [[bag]], [[party]] interface, and the screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.
* [[Legendary Pokémon]] from other regions can be caught in the games. {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} appear in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, after the Elite Four, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in both games once the other members of [[weather trio|its trio]] are traded into the game. {{p|Latias}} (in HeartGold) or {{p|Latios}} (in SoulSilver) can be found roaming in [[Kanto]] later in the game after speaking to [[Steven Stone]].
** The [[Mysterious Crystal]] is an [[Event item|Event key item]] that features a use similar to that of the [[Eon Ticket]]. It can get the other Eon Pokémon depending on the {{player|player's}} game version: Latias (in SoulSilver) and Latios (in HeartGold).
* {{m|Headbutt}}ing trees to locate certain Pokémon makes its return. However, this time it can also be used to collect Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] after the [[National Pokédex]] is acquired.
* [[Cynthia]] makes an appearance in an event involving {{p|Arceus}}. This takes place in an area accessed from the [[Ruins of Alph]] that is far to the north, named the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. This event allows players to obtain either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at level 1. The only way to obtain the [[Griseous Orb]] and Origin Forme Giratina in this game is to choose Giratina during this event.
* The {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} can be obtained in the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] by bringing any [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} to show them.
* [[Eusine]], a major character from {{game|Crystal}} who was not in the original Gold and Silver, appears, as do other aspects originally featured in Crystal.
* A new sidequest, the [[Pokéathlon]], features ten mini-games that pit Pokémon in athletic competitions. Its system appears to be analogous to that of {{pkmn|Contests}} from previous games.
* [[Apricorn]]s are now the only items collected from plants on the field. [[Berry|Berries]] are instead collected from [[Juggler]]s in [[Violet City]] and [[Fuchsia City]] in exchange for [[shard]]s, or by the player's mother if the player decided to save up their money. Because only a few berries cannot be collected in these games, they must by traded over from other versions, similar to that of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* [[Berries]] can be grown portably using the [[Berry Planter]], where the [[Squirtbottle]] is controlled via the touch screen to water four Berries at a time. Berries can be found on the ground in some locations, held by wild Pokémon, with the Pokéwalker, and will be bought by the player's mom at times.
* Using the [[Apriblender]], Apricorns can now also be mixed into drinks that increase Pokémon's Pokéathlon stats.
* The [[Running Shoes]] are obtained in [[Cherrygrove City]] and can be permanently selected using the touchscreen [[menu]]. The selected item (from pressing Y or SELECT in previous games) is also on the touchscreen. Two items can be selected as opposed to just one.
* Due to the absence of the [[Vs. Seeker]], the [[Pokégear]] reintroduces an improved cell phone feature with a limitless call list. However, re-battling trainers is now dependent on the day and time.
* The [[Radio Card]] for the Pokégear is required to continue in the game - Whitney will not return to her Gym until the player has the Radio Card.
* [[Starter Pokémon]] from [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] can be collected from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] once certain conditions are met.
* [[Photography|Commemorative photos]] can now be taken around Johto and Kanto with the player's partner Pokémon, team, [[Gym Leader]]s, and certain notable citizens.
* An {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} unlocks an encounter with former [[Team Rocket]] boss and Viridian Gym Leader [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni was mentioned repeatedly in the original Gold and Silver, but did not appear.
* Many Pokémon have acquired the ability to learn new moves and expand and improve their movesets; for example, {{p|Togepi}} can now learn {{m|Extrasensory}} through breeding.
* Like the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|GBA Wireless Adapter]] that came with FireRed and LeafGreen, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped {{wp|pedometer}} called the [[Pokéwalker]] that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its [[experience]] and [[happiness]] as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.
* The [[GB Sounds]], a key item obtained after all 16 badges have been obtained, allows players to swap the background music for the soundtrack from the original Gold and Silver, redone. New music tracks, such as the music that plays on Routes 47 and 48, also receive an 8-bit remix. However, not every track got an 8-bit remix and some can only be listened through the [[Pokémon Past Archive]] radio station in the Pokégear.
* When using the move {{m|Whirlpool}} outside of battle, instead of the whirlpool disappearing like in [[Generation II]], the player will simply surf over the whirlpools.
* Specific [[individual values]] may be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} depending on the [[EV-enhancing item]] that is held.
* The Trainers that appear in Viridian City's [[Trainer House]] are now influenced by communication through two Pokéwalkers as opposed to the previous method of Mystery Gifting with the Game Boy Color's infrared port.
* During the player's initial battle with the rival, he is known as Passerby Boy, unlike in Gold and Silver, where he was identified as ???. Players are still required to name him later.
* When the player makes it all the way through the [[Bell Tower]] or [[Whirl Islands]], instead of simply encountering Ho-Oh{{sup|HG}} or Lugia{{sup|SS}}, respectively, the player must talk to the [[Kimono Girl]]s who will summon the [[version mascot]] with a dance.

==Pokémon==
As in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the primary Pokémon of the remakes are native to the Johto and Kanto regions. Due to advances in gameplay since the second generation, the regional Pokédex used in Gold and Silver (the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]]) has been updated to include those Pokémon which [[evolution|evolve]] upon learning a new [[move]]. Rather than simply excluding these evolutions (as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} did with [[happiness]]-based evolutions), an improved [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] was established with 256 Pokémon: five more than the New Pokédex.

Similarly to other recently released Pokémon games, Pokémon from outside the regional Pokédex can be captured after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and earning the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Pokémon native to Sinnoh and Hoenn can be found in various methods. [[Mass Outbreak|Swarms]] of Pokémon sometimes break out across the Johto and Kanto regions; oftentimes these are not native to either of the regions. Pokémon from other regions can be located by playing one of two special stations on the [[PokéGear]]'s radio function. There is a channel for Sinnoh Pokémon which plays only on Thursdays; the Hoenn channel only plays on Wednesdays. By having either of these programs turned on when in [[tall grass]] the chance of finding a foreign Pokémon increases. The [[Bug Catching Contest]] also hosts, from time to time, Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokémon. They will only appear on Thursdays and Saturdays. The [[Johto Safari Zone]]'s customization option also allows for the finding of Pokémon from other regions.

In an apparent attempt to remove reliance on [[Generation III]] cartridges, [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto and Hoenn can be obtained late in the game from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] respectively. Some [[legendary Pokémon]] which were not included in the [[Generation II]] games, such as the [[legendary birds|legendary birds trio]] and {{p|Mewtwo}}, are also available.

Despite being remakes of Pokémon Gold and Silver, most of the wild Pokémon encounter data is identical to Pokémon Crystal, with the exception of version-exclusive Pokémon and a select few routes.

As in all [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, there are a number of Pokémon which can be found in [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|one of the paired games, but not the other]]. A list of these Pokémon follows below.

==Trivia==
* Like {{game|Platinum}}, these games will include the preorder figure. If one preorders HeartGold, they will receive {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and if they preorder SoulSilver, they will receive {{p|Lugia}}.
* The Japanese release date is the same day that {{game|Yellow}} was released in 1998.
* These games mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for [[Game Boy Color]].
* As remakes, these games have been [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remake speculation|speculated]] since the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* The games' engine seems to be based on that of {{game|Platinum}}.
* As {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} were considered sequels to {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver are thus sequels to {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
** Also like FireRed and LeafGreen, HeartGold and SoulSilver implement features introduced in their namesakes' third version (though the only major change from Red and Green to [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]] was the alteration of the [[catch rate]]s of several Pokémon, itself retained since Blue, whereas {{game|Crystal}} featured several notable differences).
* These games were released in Japan almost exactly one year after the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, being released the day before the anniversary.
* The font used for the English titles of these games are different than the font that has been used since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, while the Japanese logos are still in the same style used since those games. FireRed and LeafGreen also used a different font than the Hoenn games, however, it was still the same color.
** Additionally, the Ho-Oh crest shaped like a heart and Lugia soul are used in the English logos, while the fire and leaf that appear on FireRed and LeafGreen's Japanese logos were not used in the English release.
* These games mark the first time that the English versions were announced before the games themselves came out in Japan.
* Because of [[HM05]]'s conversion from {{m|Defog}} to {{m|Whirlpool}}, these games are the only games in which all available HMs teach damaging moves (both Defog and Flash, contained in HM05, prevented this in previous games).
* Unlike {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, most [[Trainer class]]es keep their {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} sprites in battle.
* These are the first games in which major characters offer their Pokémon for a trade with the player, with [[Gym Leader]]s [[Brock]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Jasmine]] and [[Hoenn]]'s former champion [[Steven Stone]] offering Pokémon of their specialty type in exchange for another.
** These are the first games in which an in-game trade accepts any Pokémon of any gender, with Jasmine accepting such in exchange for her Steelix.
* Unlike how {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s intro was an updated version of the opening from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver have an entirely new intro, using none of the footage from the intro of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. The intro however, uses some music that was in the original and the title screen displays 3D renders of Ho-Oh and Lugia in movement similar to the original title screens.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver include the [[champion]]s from each of the paired versions: {{ga|Blue}} from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, [[Lance]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, [[Steven Stone]] from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and [[Cynthia]] from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is possible to obtain all of the [[version mascots]] of the [[main series]] games.
* The credits of HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first to feature [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members and [[villainous teams|villainous team]] members.
* Most "eyecatches" for the locations feature a Pokémon that is able to be caught in said location.
* There's a minor quirk involving the Poké Mart signs, in which they are sometimes shown to be placed ''on'' the edges of trees, making it appear as if it was built there.
* All original eight [[Gym Leader]]s of Kanto appear in HeartGold and SoulSilver. [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]] are no longer Leaders, instead having other roles in the games.
* The Pokédex entries for the Pokémon that existed in Gold and Silver are carried on over to HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, much as how FireRed used the entries from the Japanese Red and Green while LeafGreen used the entries from Blue.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver had the quickest translation from Japanese to Korean in the entire history of the series. Gold and Silver, their namesakes, took the longest to be translated into the language, taking nearly three years.
**This also makes these games the first in the entire series to be released in South Korea '''before''' it was released in North America.
** Curiously, Gold and Silver were the only Pokémon games before Generation IV to be released in South Korea.
* {{game|Crystal}} had unique battle theme music for the [[legendary beasts|legendary beast]] encounters. The theme was shared between the three Pokémon; three rearranged versions exist—one for every beast—in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first main series games to have the English title in other language titles. The reason for this is unknown.
* {{wp|Postcards from the Wedge|An episode}} of {{wp|The Simpsons}} that aired for the first time on March 14, 2010, the release date of the games in North America, shows {{wp|Bart Simpson|Bart}} watching the [[Pokémon anime]]. He questions how the show has managed to stay so "fresh" over the years.
* In the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, Phanpy and Donphan were exclusive to Gold, and Teddiursa and Ursaring were exclusive to Silver. In international versions of Gold and Silver, this was switched for unknown reasons: Teddiursa and Ursaring could be found in Gold, and Phanpy and Donphan could be found in Silver instead. However, ''all'' versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver have Phanpy/Donphan in HeartGold and Teddiursa/Ursaring in SoulSilver, making this inconsistent with international versions of Gold and Silver.
* In-game dialogue makes reference to popular internet memes, such as Silver saying "''{{wp|Joker (comics)#The Dark Knight|why so serious?}}''" in one of the battles against him, and after winning the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], a contestant saying "''{{wp|Yoda|You won? A winner is you?}}''".

'''Mt. Silver''', also known as '''Silver Cave''' (Japanese: '''シロガネやま''' ''Mt. Shirogane'') is a large mountain in [[Johto]] located west of {{ka|Victory Road}} and the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Mt. Silver can be reached from [[Kanto]] via [[Route 28]] after receiving the sixteen gym [[badge]]s of both Johto and Kanto. At the very summit of Mt. Silver, the {{player}} may {{pkmn|battle}} with {{ga|Red}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is the home of {{jo|Silver Town}}. It is based off of {{wp|Mt. Fuji}} in the real-world Japan.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Moltres}} can also be found here.

==Geography==
In the games, Mt. Silver is off-limits to all but the most skilled of Trainers. After {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}} has received all sixteen badges of Johto and Kanto, [[Professor Oak]] will give him or her permission to travel here.

[[Route 28|The route]] to the area is rough, though no [[HM]]s are explicitly required to reach the [[Pokémon Center]] just outside the entrance. Inside, however, the cave is dark, requiring {{m|Flash}} to see. Many high-level Pokémon reside in the cave, including rare Pokémon not found elsewhere in the Johto region, like {{p|Larvitar}} and {{p|Misdreavus}}.

The cave has only one entrance, unlike all other caves found in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, but goes deep into the mountain. In the cave's final room, the player will encounter {{ga|Red|a familiar face}} who will, wordlessly, challenge him or her to what is the highest-leveled Trainer battle in the history of the Pokémon series.

==In the anime==
In the anime, Mt. Silver is the home of {{jo|Silver Town}}, a city that boasts at least 30 inhabitants. Silver Town's main attraction is the [[Silver Conference]], the [[Johto League]]'s yearly tournament that brings tourism to the city. Oddly, the anime depicts the mountain to be much smaller than shown in promotional maps.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} of ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', {{adv|Red}} goes to the springs in Mt. Silver to recuperate from injuries he suffered from being frozen by [[Lorelei]]'s Pokémon during the {{chap|Yellow}}. While there, he meets [[Sabrina]], a former enemy of his, who is there to recuperate from similar injuries.

Later, Red and {{adv|Gold}} leave to Mt. Silver to train together.

==Trivia==
[[File:KantoJohtoAreas.png|frame|right|Though Mt. Silver appears relatively deep into Kanto, it is identified as a Johto location by the Pokégear.]]
*Mt. Silver was called '''Shirogane Mt.''' in the {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} deluxe edition of the [[Pokémon Master Trainer]] board game. Because its release predated that of the games, it used the Japanese name.
*Despite appearing to be closer to the [[Johto]]-[[Kanto]] border on the Pokégear map, the entrance to the [[Pokémon Center]] is 17 steps from the border when factoring in only horizontal distance, making it 10 steps farther from Kanto than the doorway of the [[player character]]'s house.
*{{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, who can be fought here at level 88, is the highest-leveled Pokémon of any in-game Trainer in the series. However, this only applies to {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as Red's Pikachu is at level 81 in the original Gold and Silver (and by extension, Crystal).
* In the original player's guide to Gold and Silver, there is mention of a "?" Pokémon that appears near the waterfalls in Mt. Silver at midnight or very early in the morning, however, this is a false rumor. The guide also claimed that the unknown Pokémon was supposed to represent legendary Pokémon found in [[Generation I]] that did not appear in Gold and Silver (which were programmed in and tradable from Generation I anyway).
* Like [[Snowpoint City]], Mt. Silver's summit features diamond dust on certain special days in Generation IV, including the anniversary of Gold and Silver's original release.
** If Red is engaged in battle on a day with diamond dust, there will be no Hail condition during the battle. As no battles could be conducted in Snowpoint City's diamond dust, this is the first indication of its in-battle effect.
* Mt. Silver is marked as a Johto location by the [[Pokégear]], however, all squares immediately surrounding it (including those to the west of it) are marked as Kanto areas by the Pokégear in Generation IV. This issue was not present in the Generation II map, which placed it directly above New Bark Town.
* The exterior of Mt. Silver is the only Johto area with Kanto characteristics, like the rocks, [[tall grass]], trees and the [[Pokémon Center]] itself. However, in Generation IV, the only major differences are the rock and trees.
* In Generation IV, despite locations nearby, such as the {{rt|26}} entrance to the Pokémon League and the [[Indigo Plateau]] itself being able to be flown to from either Kanto or Johto, and players already there being able to fly to either region, Mt. Silver is ''strictly'' a Johto location, while [[Route 28]] is ''strictly'' a Kanto location. This means that a player cannot fly to Mt. Silver from Route 28 (if he or she has already been to the Pokémon Center outside) even though one can walk between the two locations rather easily.
:*Additionally, the music for wild Pokémon is [[Kanto]]-style on [[Route 28]], but [[Johto]]-style on Mt. Silver and inside [[Silver Cave]].

==In other languages==
* Spanish: '''Monte Plateado''' or '''Cueva Plateada'''
* Italian: '''Monte Argento'''
* German: '''Silberhöhle'''
* French: '''Grotte Argentée'''

'''Johanna''' (Japanese: '''アヤコ''' ''Ayako'') is the [[Mom|mother]] of the [[player character]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, she is the mother of {{an|Dawn}}.

==In the games==
Unlike previous mothers, Johanna is less content to stay at home. After the player begins their journey, she can be found at the [[Contest Hall]] and occasionally enters [[Rank|Master Rank]] {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s with her {{p|Kangaskhan}}.

She seems to be a friend of the judge [[Keira]].

[[Image:Johanna younger.jpg|220px|Young Johanna along with her Glameow|thumb|left]]
Johanna made her debut appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]''.

She used to be a great [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and is also a former winner of the [[Grand Festival]]. Dawn wanted to follow in her footsteps and become a great coordinator as well. When Dawn left on her journey, Johanna gave her one of her old [[ribbon]]s.

In ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'', it was revealed that she sewed {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s vest. As a young girl, she was shown participating in a Contest in a flashback in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' against her childhood rival, [[Lila]].
[[File:Johanna gown DP141.png|thumb|240px|Johanna in a gown]]
In ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'' {{Ash}}, [[Brock]], and {{an|Dawn}} received their new outfits from her.

Johanna appeared in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'' and met Ash and Brock in person for the first time. She used Glameow and an {{p|Umbreon}} in a double battle with her daughter, which she eventually won.

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', Johanna was the hostess for the tournament which was a part of the [[Twinleaf Festival]]. She wore a gown during the occasion.

'''Ethan''' (Japanese: '''ヒビキ''' ''Hibiki'') is the main {{player|playable character}} in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and is the male choice in {{game|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In Crystal, his female counterpart is {{ga|Kris}}, while in HeartGold and SoulSilver his female counterpart is {{ga|Lyra}}.

He is a caring young boy who lives with his mother in [[New Bark Town]]. In Generation II, he was unofficially known by fans as '''Gold''' ('''ゴールド''' ''Gold'').

==Storyline in the games==
===When selected as the player character===
Ethan's journey as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} begins when [[Professor Elm]] asks him to run an errand for [[Mr. Pokémon]], who lives north of [[Cherrygrove City]]. Because he may encounter dangerous wild [[Pokémon]] along the way, Elm gives him a choice between three Pokémon to protect him: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.

Ethan meets another boy his age watching Elm's Lab from outside. When he tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves him away. The boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Ethan's rival, analagous to {{ga|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].

Ethan continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes his errand. While there he meets [[Professor Oak]] who, upon realizing Ethan's bond with his new Pokémon, gives him a [[Pokédex]]. On his way back home, Ethan again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, he learns his name due to a dropped {{ga|Trainer card}} and relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Ethan to keep the Pokémon he chose earlier, and encourages him to compete in the [[Johto League]].

From there Ethan begins on a Pokémon journey in the [[Johto]] [[region]], facing off against its eight [[Gym Leader]]s, defeating and disbanding the revived [[Team Rocket]], and becoming [[Champion|League Champion]] by defeating the [[Elite Four]] and its previous Champion, [[Lance]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Along the way he also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle.

After being declared the League Champion, Ethan then takes a short trip on a ship, the [[S.S. Aqua]], from [[Olivine City]] to [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]]. Journeying across that region, he battles against its own set of eight Gym Leaders. Upon getting permission from [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]], Ethan heads for [[Mt. Silver]] via {{rt|28}}. His journey comes to a close when he faces the legendary trainer {{ga|Red}} deep in Mt. Silver's cave, who had been training there since shortly after he became League Champion [[Generation I|three years prior]].

In {{g|Crystal}}, {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, there is a choice between two player characters. If {{ga|Kris}}, Ethan's female counterpart in Crystal is selected as the player, then Ethan will not appear in the game at all (although his sprite will be used in a link battle with another game from Generation II). In the fourth generation games, Ethan will appear in a number of cameo roles as a [[non-player character]] when the player opts to use {{ga|Lyra}}. In this capacity he will teach the player how to catch Pokémon; it is later revealed that his grandparents are the [[Day Care couple]] who live on [[Route 34]]. Naturally, when the roles are reversed and Ethan is the player character, this role is given to Lyra.

==Pokémon==
Ethan uses this party to show the {{player}} how to catch Pokémon when {{ga|Lyra}} is selected as the player character in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==Counterparts==
{{jo|Jimmy}} from the special episode ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', seems to be based off of Ethan in the most basic sense, much more than {{Ash}} was based off his counterpart, {{ga|Red}}. However, like Ash and Red aren't interchangeable, neither are Jimmy and Ethan, nor {{jo|Marina}} and {{ga|Kris}} or {{an|Lyra|anime Lyra}} and {{ga|Lyra|game Lyra}}.

Other counterparts of Ethan include {{adv|Gold}} from [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]] manga and [[Kinnosuke]] from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

==Trivia==
* Ethan is the only male player character who does not wear long pants, instead opting for shorts.
* Ethan is the only male player character to have two different female counterparts.
* Ethan is the main protagonist in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]'s Challenge Mode.
* The majority of his Japanese default names from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} are shared with {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Lucas}}. The same holds true for their {{ga|Lyra|respective}} {{ga|Leaf|female}} {{ga|Dawn|counterparts}}.
* Ethan and {{ga|Lyra}} are the only pseudo-rivals, along with the only [[rival]] characters in any game apart from Wally, to not appear to have a starter Pokémon from the professor in that region.
* Ethan's sprite in HeartGold and SoulSilver is positioned the same as Lucas's in Platinum.

Original Trainer

2010-04-03T00:00:41Z

D-Wheel:

[[Image:OT ID.png|thumb|This {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s original Trainer's name is '''{{ga|Ethan}}'''.]]
The '''Original Trainer''' ('''OT''') of a Pokémon is the [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] who caught or hatched the Pokémon in question first. The original Trainer's name is used in conjunction with their [[Trainer ID number|ID number]] to verify which Pokémon are [[outsider Pokémon]] by the {{pkmn|games}}.

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], [[Shadow Pokémon]] that are [[Snagging|snagged]] will consider the snagging trainer to be their OT despite being there being trainers before the person who snagged the Pokémon.

In games from [[Generation III]] onwards, the color of the OT's name will differ on most status screens, with it being blue at some times and red at others. This means nothing more than the gender of the OT, with blue meaning that the OT is male and red meaning the OT is female.

While a traded Pokémon doesn't really change in any way (with the obvious exception of those who evolve through this method), a Trainer lacking the proper Badges will be unable to control a Pokémon over a specified level; this issue is only encountered because said Trainer is not the original one. Only the OT can change the nickname of a Pokémon as well. A Pokémon will have a specified ID number (identical to their Original Trainer's) and without any sort of cheating device, it will stay the same as long as the creature's data remains in the game.

==Some special OTs==
Sometimes, there are special OT names assigned to Pokémon if they come from a non-standard Pokémon game or are received as a prize. See [[List of notable ID numbers]] for examples.

Trainer ID number

2010-04-03T00:00:38Z

D-Wheel:

[[Image:OT ID.png|thumb|This {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s trainer's ID number is '''48602'''.]]
A [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s '''ID number''' is a five-digit number that is assigned to a Trainer when they begin their Pokémon journey. It is used, in conjunction with the [[Original Trainer|Trainer's name]] and gender, to identify whether or not the Pokémon is an [[outsider Pokémon]] by the {{pkmn|games}}. The highest possible ID number in any game is 65535.

==Special ID numbers==
Sometimes, there are special ID numbers assigned to Pokémon if they come from a non-standard Pokémon game or are received as a prize. Also, for Pokémon not yet hatched from their {{pkmn|egg}}s, the ID ????? is used. It will turn into the ID number of the trainer who hatches the Pokémon. It is also used for [[Purification|unpurified]] [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Once purified, the ID number will change to that of the Trainer who [[Snagging|snagged]] it.

For a list of special ID numbers, see [[List of notable ID numbers]].

==Secret ID==
From [[Generation III]] onward, there is a second, secret ID number, different from the visible one. This number exists purely to make sure that even if two Trainers share the ''exact same'' name and gender and the ''exact same'' Trainer ID number, the game will still recognize their Pokémon as coming from different Trainers. Usually, this number cannot be viewed; however, certain [[Cheating|cheats]] can be used to view it, many using [[Pokésav]] and [[Action Replay]]. It also comes into play along with the normal ID number and the [[personality value]] in determining if a Pokémon is {{shiny2}}. If two different trainers have the same [[Original Trainer|Trainer name]], identical ID numbers and identical hidden ID numbers (a 1 in 4,294,967,296 shot if the names do not differ), they will be able to change the nickname of each other's Pokémon if traded.

Lyra (game)

'''Lyra''' (Japanese: '''コトネ''' ''Kotone'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In these games, she is the counterpart to {{ga|Ethan}}, taking over the role from {{ga|Kris}} in {{game|Crystal}}. Her hometown is [[New Bark Town]], where she lives with [[Mom|her mother]].

==Storyline in the games==
===When selected as the player character===
Lyra's journey as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} begins when [[Professor Elm]] asks her to run an errand for [[Mr. Pokémon]], who lives north of [[Cherrygrove City]]. Because she may encounter dangerous wild {{obp|Pokémon|species}} along the way, Elm gives her a choice between three Pokémon for protection: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.

Lyra meets a strange boy the same age as her watching Elm's Lab from outside. When she tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves her away. The boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Lyra's rival, analogous to {{ga|Blue}} in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III|III]].

Lyra continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes the errand. While there she meets [[Professor Oak]] who, upon realizing Lyra's bond with her new Pokémon, gives her a [[Pokédex]]. On her way back home, Lyra again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, she learns his name from his dropped {{ga|Trainer card}} and relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Lyra to keep the Pokémon she chose earlier, and encourages her to compete in the [[Johto League]].

From there Lyra begins on a Pokémon journey in the [[Johto]] [[region]], facing off against its eight [[Gym Leader]]s, defeating and disbanding the revived [[Team Rocket]], and becoming [[Champion|League Champion]] by defeating the [[Elite Four]] and its previous Champion, [[Lance]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Along the way she also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle.

After being declared the League Champion, Lyra then takes a short trip on a ship, the [[S.S. Aqua]], from [[Olivine City]] to [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]]. Journeying across that region, she battles against its own set of eight Gym Leaders. Upon getting permission from [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]], Lyra heads for [[Mt. Silver]] via {{rt|28}}. Her journey comes to a close when she faces the legendary trainer {{ga|Red}} deep in Mt. Silver's cave, who had been training there since shortly after he became League Champion [[Generation I|three years prior]].

===When not selected as the player character===
[[File:Goldandsoul.png|thumb|left|200px|Lyra speaking with {{ga|Ethan}}]]
If {{ga|Ethan}} is selected to be the player character, Lyra meets him in [[New Bark Town]] at the start of the game. In this particular scene, she is seen with a {{p|Marill}}. She will always have Marill even if another [[starter Pokémon]] is selected. In addition, she doesn't appear to take the remaining starter Pokémon. Her role in the storyline of HeartGold and SoulSilver is similar to that of {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if they are not chosen as the player character, while Ethan takes this place if she is selected as the player.

While playing as Ethan, her grandparents run the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on [[Route 34]]. Naturally, this role is given to Ethan if she is the player character.

==Trivia==
* Much like {{ga|Silver}} received the fan name "Kamon" from the list of {{ga|Ethan}}'s names in {{game|Silver}} for discerning purposes, Lyra was known by much of the fandom as "Soul", following the precedent of {{ga|Red}}'s {{ga|Leaf|female counterpart}} introduced in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Interestingly, {{ga|Ethan}} was the only one who appeared in-game in demos with the name Soul: Lyra's name was in fact "Heart" (though likewise, ''Leaf'' was a default name for Red in LeafGreen, and ''Fire'' and ''Red'' default names for Leaf in FireRed).
** Also similar to {{ga|Leaf}}, "Soul" is one of the optional names for Lyra in Pokémon SoulSilver Version.
* Previously to the announcement of Lyra's name on September 6th, 2009's episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]], she was seen by many fans as an updated form of {{ga|Kris}}, rather than a new character.
* Lyra and Ethan are the only pseudo-rivals, (along with the only [[rival]] characters in any game apart from Wally), to not appear to have a starter Pokémon from the professor in that region.
* Lyra shares many of her Japanese default names with {{ga|Leaf}} and {{ga|Dawn}}. She also shares all of {{ga|Kris}}'s default Japanese names.
* Occasionally, Lyra will call and claim that her {{p|Marill}} was evolving into {{p|Azumarill}}. However, regardless of this, her Marill is ''never'' shown to have evolved and in subsequent calls she still refers to it as a Marill.

'''Ethan''' (Japanese: '''ヒビキ''' ''Hibiki'') is the main {{player|playable character}} in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and is the male choice in {{game|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In Crystal, his female counterpart is {{ga|Kris}}, while in HeartGold and SoulSilver his female counterpart is {{ga|Lyra}}.

He is a caring young boy who lives with his mother in [[New Bark Town]]. In Generation II, he was unofficially known by fans as '''Gold''' ('''ゴールド''' ''Gold'').

==Storyline in the games==
===When selected as the player character===
Ethan's journey as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} begins when [[Professor Elm]] asks him to run an errand for [[Mr. Pokémon]], who lives north of [[Cherrygrove City]]. Because he may encounter dangerous wild [[Pokémon]] along the way, Elm gives him a choice between three Pokémon to protect him: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.

Ethan meets another boy his age watching Elm's Lab from outside. When he tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves him away. The boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Ethan's rival, analagous to {{ga|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].

Ethan continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes his errand. While there he meets [[Professor Oak]] who, upon realizing Ethan's bond with his new Pokémon, gives him a [[Pokédex]]. On his way back home, Ethan again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, he learns his name due to a dropped {{ga|Trainer card}} and relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Ethan to keep the Pokémon he chose earlier, and encourages him to compete in the [[Johto League]].

From there Ethan begins on a Pokémon journey in the [[Johto]] [[region]], facing off against its eight [[Gym Leader]]s, defeating and disbanding the revived [[Team Rocket]], and becoming [[Champion|League Champion]] by defeating the [[Elite Four]] and its previous Champion, [[Lance]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Along the way he also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle.

His journey comes to a close when he faces the legendary trainer {{ga|Red}} deep in Mt. Silver's cave, who had been training there since shortly after he became League Champion [[Generation I|three years prior]].

===When not selected as the player character===
In {{g|Crystal}}, {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, there is a choice between two player characters. If {{ga|Kris}}, Ethan's female counterpart in Crystal is selected as the player, then Ethan will not appear in the game at all (although his sprite will be used in a link battle with another game from Generation II). In the fourth generation games, Ethan will appear in a number of cameo roles as a [[non-player character]] when the player opts to use {{ga|Lyra}}. In this capacity he will teach the player how to catch Pokémon; it is later revealed that his grandparents are the [[Day Care couple]] who live on [[Route 34]]. Naturally, when the roles are reversed and Ethan is the player character, this role is given to Lyra.

==Counterparts==
{{jo|Jimmy}} from the special episode ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', seems to be based off of Ethan in the most basic sense, much more than {{Ash}} was based off his counterpart, {{ga|Red}}. However, like Ash and Red aren't interchangeable, neither are Jimmy and Ethan, nor {{jo|Marina}} and {{ga|Kris}} or {{an|Lyra|anime Lyra}} and {{ga|Lyra|game Lyra}}.

Other counterparts of Ethan include {{adv|Gold}} from [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]] manga and [[Kinnosuke]] from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

* Ethan is the only male player character to have two different female counterparts.
* Ethan is the main protagonist in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]'s Challenge Mode.
* The majority of his Japanese default names from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} are shared with {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Lucas}}. The same holds true for their {{ga|Lyra|respective}} {{ga|Leaf|female}} {{ga|Dawn|counterparts}}.
* Ethan and {{ga|Lyra}} are the only pseudo-rivals, along with the only [[rival]] characters in any game apart from Wally, to not appear to have a starter Pokémon from the professor in that region.

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metagross has the appearance of a tremendous, quadrupedal tank-like Pokémon. Its turquoise-colored, discus-shaped main body appears to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid. Each leg could be viewed as the body of a former {{P|Beldum}}, and its head/body as the four collective heads of Beldum used to fuse into it. Metagross has a metallic cross adorning its face diagonally between its two red eyes, often viewed as the letter "X" by onlookers, and this cross-shape is arranged to resemble both metallic "eyebrows" and a metallic "mustache." This is said to represent Metagross's wise, computative nature.

In the same way that its pre-evolved form {{p|Metang}} is comprised by two {{p|Beldum}}, a still more basic evolution stage, so is Metagross formed by the joining of two Metang. This essentially means that four Beldum make up a Metagross (this could be compared to {{p|Magneton}} or {{p|Magnezone}}, both of which are comprised of 3 {{p|Magnemite}}). However, four Beldum come nowhere near to the size of a Metagross.

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

====Special abilities====
Metagross's intelligence is extraordinarily high: not only does it have four brains (one from each Beldum) but they are also connected by a highly complex neural network. Its developed cerebral powers are said to surpass even those of a supercomputer, similar to {{p|Alakazam}}. As a [[Psychic-type]] Pokémon, it can also use psychic abilities, including the ability to render its massive body airborne by telekinesis once it draws its legs together. Metagross's movepool isn't that much different than than its predecessor, Metang. The only two moves that Metagross can learn that Metang lacks are {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon lives in mountainous areas. It can easily live comfortably on very steep slopes by planting its legs into rock or ground.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Metagross is a brutal predator. When hunting, it pins its prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using its large mouth on its stomach.

==In the anime==
[[Image:MetagrossAnime.png|thumb|right|250px|Metagross in the anime]]
Metagross was first seen in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of {{mo|Rebecca}}.

Metagross's anime debut was in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' as one of {{ho|Tyson}}'s Pokémon.

{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s Metagross was seen in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

A Metagross also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' belonging to a {{OBP|Psychic|Trainer class}}.

A wild {{shiny2}} Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles: Roamin' Off]]'' where it attacked [[Team Rocket]]. It [[Anime move errors|somehow knew]] how to {{m|Lock-On}} to its target, despite the species being incapable of knowing this move.

Another wild Metagross appeared in [[DP158]], opposite a {{p|Magnezone}}.

{{Animedexbody|DP051|Metagross|Dawn's Pokédex|Metagross, the Iron Leg Pokémon. With its four brains, it has an intelligence rivaling a supercomputer.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[Steven Stone]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]] owns a Metagross. It's his flight Pokémon, carrying him from place to place with its levitation abilities. He also owns a {{P|Metang}} and many {{P|Beldum}}, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Upon its release from its [[Poké Ball]], it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|Earthquake}}.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta, however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

==Trivia==
* Metagross has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being {{p|Slaking}}. However, it is tied with the four other [[pseudo-legendary]] evolutions. Metagross is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary that does not have a 4× weakness.
* Metagross evolves from its pre-evolution the earliest of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
* Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary that cannot learn any {{type2|Dragon}} moves.
** It is also the only genderless pseudo-legendary.
* Metagross's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 192. This makes it one of thirteen Pokémon (only five evolution families) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
* Metagross has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of any Steel-type and the second highest of any Psychic-type Pokémon after the Attack and Normal forms of {{p|Deoxys}}.
* Metagross is the fifth heaviest Pokémon, and the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] of all non-legendary Pokémon.
* Metagross and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] with a [[Catch rate]] of 3.

===Origin===
Metagross is similar to a {{wp|crab}}.

====Name origin====
Its name may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'', referring to the mark on its face. It may also be derived from the words ''metal'' and ''[[wp:gross (unit)|gross]]'', referring to its size.

'''Sabrina''' (Japanese: '''ナツメ''' ''Natsume'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Saffron Gym]]. She hands out the {{badge|Marsh}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She is a young lady with psychic abilities, and thus trains {{type2|Psychic}} [[Pokémon]].

Sabrina has appeared in every generation of Pokémon as the Gym Leader of the [[Saffron Gym]]. Known as "The Master of Psychic Pokémon" ("The Mistress of Psychic-type Pokémon" in [[Generation IV]]), she has had psychic powers ever since she was a child, when she accidentally bent a spoon. She apparently dislikes battling, but is hard to beat because she can communicate with her Pokémon telepathically. Her fame has grown so much that even Trainers living in the [[Sevii Islands]] have heard of her. Previously there were two Gyms in Saffron City, a {{type2|Fighting}} Gym, and a Psychic-type Gym. Sabrina used her advantage to defeat the rival gym and strip them of their Gym status.

She appears to the have the ability to see the future. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} she states that [[Generation I|three years ago]] she foresaw the arrival of another strong challenger (realized in the form of {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}}. After this second defeat, she accepts that the ability of foresight may be limited.

In {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Trainers must navigate [[warp tile]]s to find Sabrina hiding in the middle of her Gym. Defeating her will earn them the {{badge|Marsh}} and a {{type2|Psychic}} TM: {{TM|46|Psywave}} in Generation I; {{TM|04|Calm Mind}} in Generation III. The Gym maintains a similar style in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The warp tiles are maintained, as is the badge: Sabrina, however, gives no TM in Generation II and {{TM|48|Skill Swap}} in Generation IV.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Sabrina has received a major redesign, now sporting a vastly different hairstyle and a completely new, more casual-looking outfit. After her initial defeat in Saffron City, she ventures outside of her Gym. She can be found at the dock for the [[S.S. Aqua]] in the [[Olivine City]] Harbor at any time on Friday. After the player has obtained her phone number here, she can be called during Sunday afternoon to arrange a rematch at the Fighting Dojo she once defeated.

Sabrina also appears in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. A large number of her Pokémon here are not of the Psychic-type, including a {{type2|Fighting}} {{p|Hitmonlee}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Sabrina1.jpg|left|thumb|180px|Sabrina with a doll of her former self]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Sabrina was the fourth gym leader {{Ash}} encountered. He challenged her initially in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', and had a rematch with her in ''[[EP024|Haunter Versus Kadabra]]''.

Sabrina inherited her psychic power from her [[Sabrina's father|father]], who had the ability to {{m|teleport}} from location to location, as well as telekinesis. It manifested when she was young, and it was soon apparent that Sabrina's abilities far exceeded her father's. She was able to use her psychic powers to do many things- teleportation, telepathy, psychokinesis, and transmutation.

As her power increased, she grew more obsessed with developing it. She became less and less emotional, using her abilities for destructive purposes. This caused a deep psychological rift. The emotions she tried to shut off developed into a separate personality- a young girl who manifested as a puppet around Sabrina. Sabrina's mind was divided into the cold, callous woman with a thirst for power and the little girl who just wanted to have fun.

Sabrina became the leader of the [[Saffron Gym]], and turned it into an institute where fellow psychics could develop their powers. Ash was headed to Saffron one day, unknowingly watched by Sabrina. Sabrina's younger self used her psychic abilities to save Ash and his friends from [[Team Rocket]]. The next day, despite warnings from a mysterious man, Ash challenged Sabrina and lost miserably. Sabrina used her powers to shrink Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, but they were saved by the man. He cautioned Ash that only {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon could defeat Psychic-types.

Ash resolved to catch a Ghost-type Pokémon. After a trip to the [[Lavender Tower]], Ash returned with a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} he had befriended. Ash challenged Sabrina to a rematch, but Haunter had wandered off in the meantime. Ash managed to escape Sabrina's wrath, rescued by the mysterious man once again, but [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] were transformed into dolls and placed into a dollhouse, where they met Sabrina's mother in the same predicament.

After talking with the man, who was revealed to be Sabrina's father, Ash returned once more, and during the match, Haunter appeared and started to playfully tease Sabrina. Haunter's antics delighted Sabrina so much, that she was no longer able to contain her emotions and started to laugh. This caused her two personalities to merge back into one. Ash was deemed the winner of the match due to the inability of Sabrina or her psychically-linked Pokémon to battle, and the young man won the Marsh Badge. Haunter chose to stay with Sabrina and her reunited family.

==In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga==
[[File:Lt. Surge and Sabrina.png|right|thumb|250px|Sabrina and her Mr. Mime (right) with Lt. Surge and his Raichu (left)]]
Sabrina is one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and serves under [[Giovanni]] in ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]''.

She is first seen on top of her Kadabra after Red leaves Celadon City with an experimental Eevee, commenting how perfect that is even though it was thought that the Eevee had simply escaped.
Under her boss's orders, she captured {{p|Moltres}} and brought it to Saffron City. She then used her Mr. Mime's {{m|Barrier}} to totally close off Saffron City from the outside world. {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika|Pikachu]] was able to pass through the barrier by using {{m|Substitute}}. He was then able to defeat Mr. Mime and let Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} in. At [[Silph Co.]], Sabrina took on Green, but the younger Trainer was able to best Sabrina by outwitting her than incapacitating her using her Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing}}, however she eventually broke free and found Red and Green (although Green escaped) in the room that contained the Badge Energy Amplifier. She was the one who controlled [[Zapmolcuno]] when it was created by Green by accident.

Later, Sabrina helped the [[Pallet Town]] Trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] during the [[Cerise Island]] battle. Sabrina's Alakazam created magical items called the [[Spoons of Destiny]]. When held by a strong Trainer, the Spoons of Destiny would point out a Trainer of a similar style and personality. Using these tools, {{adv|Blue}} was paired with [[Koga]], {{adv|Yellow}} was paired with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Red}} was paired with [[Lt. Surge]], and Sabrina herself was paired with {{adv|Green}}. It would seem that all eight members still carry the spoons to this day.

Green and Sabrina found themselves battling [[Lorelei]], who used her ice dolls to chain them to each other, something that proved to be a great disadvantage due to their lack of team work and Green was quickly knocked out.

Sabrina suffered severe {{wp|frostbite}} injuries. Because of this, she later traveled to mystic springs at [[Johto]]'s [[Mt. Silver]] to heal.

==In the ''Electric Tale of Pikachu'' manga==
[[File:Sabrina Electric Tale.png|right|thumb|100px|Kind Sabrina with [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]]]
The ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga probably presents the most sympathetic portrayal of Sabrina. She is a kind and gentle shrine maiden who runs a Gym in the mountains with her Abra. When she was a child, Sabrina's Pokémon were all killed by a gigantic Haunter that used {{m|Dream Eater}} to suck out their souls. After defeating Ash in a gym battle, Sabrina hears of the giant Haunter appearing at the Pokémon Tower, and went off to go defeat it. Unfortunately, she herself fell prey to the Haunter and her soul sucked out. But with Brock and Ash's help, Sabrina is able to defeat the Haunter. Although Ash tries to catch it with an [[Ultra Ball]], it kills itself using {{m|Selfdestruct}} rather than let itself be captured.

==Trivia==
*Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|エスパー　レディ|Esper Lady}}.
*She, alongside [[Erika]], is the only Gym Leader to have been defeated in the anime by Ash out of sequence with the games.
*Sabrina is the first Gym Leader in the anime to receive a {{TP|Sabrina|Pokémon|Haunter}} from a {{Ash|main character}}. The second is [[Gardenia]].
*Sabrina is also the first Gym Leader to have a Pokémon that is {{p|Venomoth|not of her}} {{t|Psychic|main type}}.
*Although Sabrina's official hair color is grayish-blue, there are many depictions of her with green or black hair.
*Interestingly, even though Sabrina isn't an Aura user, one of her quotes in FireRed and LeafGreen have her describing Psychic abilities in a manner similar to Aura's description.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Pewter Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Boulder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in training {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimoribrockoriginal.png|thumb|left|Art of Brock from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
Brock's title is "The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer." Brock is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses Rock-type Pokémon to complement this.

Brock is one of the few truly serious professional Pokémon Trainers in the Pewter City area. He's tough, people respect him, and most admire him. Supposedly, it's hard to get him to laugh or drop his serious demeanor, but when he does, he can't stop.

Brock likes to dig for [[fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]], which is possibly how he ended up getting a {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} in [[Generation II]].

In each game, there is only one other Trainer in his gym: a [[Camper]], whose name is Jerry in [[Generation II]] and Liam in [[Generation III]]. This Trainer usually isn't devoted to the Rock-type, and may use pure {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon like {{p|Sandshrew}} and {{p|Diglett}}.

In addition to the Boulder Badge, Brock gives out {{TM|34|Bide}} for in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, and {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} for the [[Generation III]] remakes instead. While he doesn't give out a [[TM]] in [[Generation II]], however, for the [[Generation IV]] remakes he gives out {{TM|80|Rock Slide}}. In both the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, one Trainer will not allow for Trainers to pass onto {{rt|3}} until they have defeated Brock. Instead, when Trainers try to leave, he will lead them all the way back to the Pewter Gym.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after he is defeated, he will offer to [[List of in-game trades|trade]] a {{p|Rhyhorn}} that knows {{m|Thunder Fang}} for a {{p|Bonsly}}. He can be found in [[Diglett's Cave]] near Pewter City every day between noon and 3 PM, and will offer his PokéGear number if he is spoken to. If he is called on Saturday evening, he will be up for a rematch at the [[Fighting Dojo]].

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

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

Early on, he showed that he carries around a {{badge|Boulder}} for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a contest there. The [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Heavy Ball]], given to him by [[Kurt]] [[EP144|back in Johto]], he gave to [[Professor Jacuzzi|Dr. Jacuzzi]] outside of [[Petalburg City]] for use on a [[EP339|giant Gulpin]].

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

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

He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the series.

Brock is the tallest of {{ashfr|main characters}}, and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.

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

===Character===
[[Image:Brock's eyes.png|thumb|left|180px|Brock with his eyes open in [[EP260]]]]
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type2|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when the Advanced Generation series ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned and is now traveling with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]].

Brock is among the longest-lived main characters in the anime, only being absent from the Orange Islands season and thus ranked under only the permanent characters of {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}.

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

This listing is of Brock's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode.

===In Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Brock Special.png|right|thumb|Brock and his {{p|Geodude}}]]
Brock debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, however he is mentioned earlier by {{adv|Blue}} in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'' about being bored by no-oe being able to defeat him, or even get past the preliminaries. To gain access to Brock, a Trainer must win several rounds of battles against special Trainers of the Gym, and all of those battles are watched by him from a special room.

Brock is a brave Trainer, and he assists [[Erika]] and [[Misty]] in their {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Team Rocket]]. He also gave {{adv|Yellow}} a {{p|Graveler}} after the good [[Gym Leader]]s of Kanto battled Agatha's mind-controlling {{{p|Gastly}}. However, he is also shown to be quick to anger and restless in his search for a good battle, and when discovering that {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]], the only remaining Pokémon of his, was disobedient, deemed his wins "dumb luck" and sought for a finisher attack instantly. However, when the boy begins to gain his Pokémon's trust, it chooses to fight for him and defeats his Onix.

After Blaine figured out that Red must have been at Mt. Moon before going missing, Brock volunteered to search there, since Mt. Moon was closest to [[Pewter City]]. He then found a cast of {{adv|Red}} frozen in ice there and contacted Blaine. Before all of the information could be exchanged, he found out that Pewter City was under attack by a group of [[Bruno]]'s {{p|Machop}} that was searching for Brock's {{badge|Boulder}}, and he left to protect it.

A few years later, he, along with Erika and Misty, traveled to Johto for the Gym Leader Tournament at the [[Indigo Plateau]], where he faced off against the expert of the newly discovered {{type|Steel}}, [[Jasmine]]. He lost the match and later fought against Team Rocket on the [[Magnet Train]].

Aside from being a Gym Leader, Brock also works as a security guard at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].

Onix was first used in battle against {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]]. Despite the type advantage, Onix was defeated by the small electric type after it came to fight for Red of its own will. Three years later, Onix was sent out by Brock to use as a bridge when a bridge in the [[Tohjo Falls]] went out while Brock, Erika and Misty were heading to Johto, during which Misty is joined by {{p|Suicune}}. However, it itself collapsed when they were all attacked by a large group of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}} and {{p|Crobat}}. Once the group finally made it to the Indigo Plateau, Brock used Onix in his battle with Jasmine. It lost to Jasmine's {{p|Steelix}}, which he initially mistook as an Onix of a different variety due to its rock covering used to hide the fact that it was a new, undiscovered species at the time. Its known attacks are {{m|Rock Throw}}, {{m|Skull Bash}} and {{m|Bind}}.}}

===In Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Since the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] is based heavily on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock's appearances in it are mostly comparable to his anime appearances. However, he is not constantly traveling with Ash in the manga.

In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', there are hints about him being [[MangaShipping|in a relationship]] with [[Sabrina]].

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} appears as a rare Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed and stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.
* In the anime, Brock's house is located directly behind the Pewter Gym. His room is only seen briefly in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', but what is seen of it shows that it is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, including {{wp|fusuma}}, a {{wp|tansu}} chest, and a {{wp|futon}} for a bed.
* Brock owns two {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, whose names both start with ''Cro-''.
* Brock is currently the only main character of the anime with {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon, owning two, {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}.
* Brock is the fourth main character to own a Pokémon hatched from an egg. The first was [[Misty]] with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and later {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, the second was {{Ash}} with {{TP|Ash|Phanpy}}, and the third was {{an|May}} with {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
* Brock is one of three of Ash's friends who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The others are {{an|May}} and [[Max]], who are brother and sister. Coincidentally, both fathers are Gym Leaders.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing [[Brock's Crobat|Zubat]] in [[EP006]].
* Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' stock art use the same pose, changing only his outfit.
* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to slip through Brock's radar, though this may be attributed to the fact Ash is younger than most of the girls Brock generally seeks out so he might've not payed much attention.
* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{TP|Brock|Golbat|Crobat}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly|Sudowoodo}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). Of the four, three of them have evolved so far.
*When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, Brock brought only his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} with him. Forretress is not in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* Despite starting out as a Rock-type Gym Leader, of all the Pokémon Brock currently owns, only one is pure Rock-type, {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Currently, it is [[party|with him]].
* Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have owned at least one Pokémon from each of the four generations.
* In the video games (notably, the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]), Brock has been shown with several Pokémon that he would later own in the anime ({{p|Golbat}} in Stadium's Round 2 fight, {{p|Forretress}} in Stadium 2's Round 1 fight, and {{p|Steelix}} in Stadium 2's Round 2 fight).
* Brock is the only one of [[Ash's friends]] to appear in every movie. His appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was merely a cameo though.
* Despite being a Rock-type [[Pokémon Trainer]], none of his Pokémon knew any Rock-type moves in [[Generation I]]. This did not occur in [[Generation III]] due to his chosen TM changing from {{TM|34|Bide}} to {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}.
* Brock is one of two [[Gym Leader]]s not to give the {{player}} a TM of his {{t|Rock|Gym's specialty type}}, the other being [[Falkner]]. This is only true in [[Generation I]].
** However in [[Generation II]] there was no TM that contained a {{type2|Flying}} move, but in [[Generation I]] there was {{TM|48|Rock Slide}} which is {{type2|Rock}}.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Brock trades the player a {{p|Rhyhorn}} knowing {{m|Thunder Fang}} (an [[egg moves|egg move]]) in exchange for a {{p|Bonsly}}. This may be a reference to his anime counterpart, who is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] and once owned a Bonsly as well before it evolved.
* Out of all of his Pokémon in the handheld games, only {{p|Rampardos|one}} does not suffer from a double weakness against {{t|Grass}}.

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

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

'''Bugsy''' (Japanese: '''ツクシ''' ''Tsukushi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Azalea Town]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Azalea Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Hive}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Bug}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
[[Image:Gold Silver Bugsy.jpg|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Bugsy from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Bugsy appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Gym Leader of the [[Azalea Gym]]. He is the second Gym Leader to be challenged in each of the games, although he cannot be fought until [[Team Rocket]] has been driven out of the [[Slowpoke Well]].

Because of his research on {{t|Bug}} Pokémon, Bugsy's knowledge makes him an authority on them. He even discovered the move {{m|Fury Cutter}}, which is the signature move on his {{p|Scyther}}. This research has led to his given title, "The Walking Bug Pokémon Encyclopedia". He claims to never lose when it comes to Bug Pokémon, but—once defeated by the player—will admit his research isn't yet finished. Upon defeat he will hand out the {{badge|Hive}}, and a {{type2|Bug}} Technical Machine: {{tm|49|Fury Cutter}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{tm|89|U-turn}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

Like all other Johto and Kanto Gym Leaders, Bugsy will leave his Gym from time to time. Every Thursday, Bugsy travels to [[Viridian Forest]] where he will hand out his [[PokéGear]] phone number to fellow travelers all day. From here he will progress to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and, on Thursday afternoons, accept a rematch with a stronger team.

Bugsy also has a room in the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]] in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. This is the only time he will use Pokémon not of the Bug-type.

==In the anime==
[[File:Bugsy anime.png|right|200px|thumb|Bugsy in the anime]]
Bugsy's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP144|Gettin' the Bugs Out]]''.

Bugsy trains in a large, greenhouse-like Gym filled with trees and bugs. He has an affinity for Bug-type Pokémon.

His {{p|Scyther}} can use {{m|Swords Dance}} to deflect {{type2|Fire}} attacks. However, {{Ash}} figured out it was vulnerable from above, and {{AP|Cyndaquil}} was able to knock it out, winning Ash the Hive Badge.

|desc={{p|Spinarak}} is the first Pokémon Bugsy used in his match against {{Ash}}, saying that it's one of his strongest Pokémon in his arsenal. It battled against {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and almost won with its {{m|String Shot}} and {{m|Poison Sting}} attacks, since Cyndaquil couldn't get its flame started. Eventually, Ash recalled Cyndaquil and sent out {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}} instead, despite the type disadvantage. Spinarak and Chikorita kept dodging each other's attacks, until Ash told Chikorita to use {{m|Sweet Scent}}, enabling it to {{m|Tackle}} Spinarak and win the round.}}

Metapod used {{m|Harden}} several times to resist Chikorita's attacks, and then surprised Ash by being able to jump and {{m|Tackle}} Chikorita.

|desc=The final and most powerful of Bugsy's Pokémon was {{p|Scyther}}. It defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] easily with a powerful {{m|Slash}} attack.

Scyther proved to be an exceptional fighter as it can hold its own against {{type2|Fire}}s by using {{m|Swords Dance}} to counter fire attacks. Using this technique, it almost defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] by deflecting all of its fire attacks. Thanks to Ash's strategy, Cyndaquil gained the upper hand. Instead of attacking horizontally, it jumped above {{p|Scyther}} and used {{m|Flamethrower}}. Scyther was unable to defend itself from the attack and it was knocked out of the battle.

It is voiced by [[Katsuyuki Konishi]] in the Japanese version and by [[Eric Stuart]] in the English dub.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[File:Bugsy Special.png|thumb|Bugsy in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Bugsy is a ruins explorer. He meets {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]], who at first mistakes the Gym Leader for a girl and asks him out on a date. When he reveals he is a boy he tells Gold that he is looking for his missing companions who were helping him study the ruins. The two of them then run into Team Rocket and accidently awaken the Unown. After being cornered by a Spinarak's Spider Web Explotaro used Smokescreen to get the Unown in the web and take out their anger on Team Rocket. Bugsy then left the cave with his companions, ecstatic about his new discovery.

Bugsy is then see with more research colleagues before Suicune appears to him. He fails to catch Suicune just like the rest and it becomes the first Pokémon to break through his capture net. He does discover several inscriptions written in Unown, one saying "Rope Escape" and another saying "Ho-Oh".

Bugsy uses a special multi-[[Poké Ball]] capture net made for him by [[Kurt]].

==Trivia==
* Bugsy is the only Gym Leader to use any Pokémon in battle that cannot learn any TMs or HMs.

* In the anime, Bugsy's Metapod is the only Metapod to be shown using {{m|Tackle}} (or indeed, any move other than {{m|Harden}}).
** This can also apply to the games, as all wild Metapod and Kakuna (as well as trainer's Metapod and Kakuna) only had Harden as the only move available to them.
* Similarly to [[Saturn]] and [[Will]], his Pokémon are the opposite gender of himself despite having a 50-50 gender ratio.
** Bugsy's Pokémon were all male in the [[Generation II|original Johto games]].
* Bugsy is the only Johto gym leader that does not have an elemental type advantage on the next Gym Leader. (Falkner trains {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, which are strong against Bug-type Pokémon. Meanwhile, [[Whitney]]'s {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon are immune to {{type2|Ghost}} moves of [[Morty]].)
* Bugsy is the only Gym Leader whose signature Pokémon is sent out on the first turn (though this is only in Generation IV), but this due to the fact that his Scyther now carries {{m|U-turn}}.
* Bugsy appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Kakuna}} to battle.
* Bugsy is the only Gym Leader that specialize in the {{type|Bug}}.

'''Bugsy''' (Japanese: '''ツクシ''' ''Tsukushi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Azalea Town]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Azalea Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Hive}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Bug}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
[[Image:Gold Silver Bugsy.jpg|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Bugsy from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Bugsy appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Gym Leader of the [[Azalea Gym]]. He is the second Gym Leader to be challenged in each of the games, although he cannot be fought until [[Team Rocket]] has been driven out of the [[Slowpoke Well]].

Because of his research on {{t|Bug}} Pokémon, Bugsy's knowledge makes him an authority on them. He even discovered the move {{m|Fury Cutter}}, which is the signature move on his {{p|Scyther}}. This research has led to his given title, "The Walking Bug Pokémon Encyclopedia". He claims to never lose when it comes to Bug Pokémon, but—once defeated by the player—will admit his research isn't yet finished. Upon defeat he will hand out the {{badge|Hive}}, and a {{type2|Bug}} Technical Machine: {{tm|49|Fury Cutter}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{tm|89|U-turn}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

Like all other Johto and Kanto Gym Leaders, Bugsy will leave his Gym from time to time. Every Thursday, Bugsy travels to [[Viridian Forest]] where he will hand out his [[PokéGear]] phone number to fellow travelers all day. From here he will progress to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and, on Thursday afternoons, accept a rematch with a stronger team.

Bugsy also has a room in the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]] in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. This is the only time he will use Pokémon not of the Bug-type.

==In the anime==
[[File:Bugsy anime.png|right|200px|thumb|Bugsy in the anime]]
Bugsy's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP144|Gettin' the Bugs Out]]''.

Bugsy trains in a large, greenhouse-like Gym filled with trees and bugs. He has an affinity for Bug-type Pokémon.

His {{p|Scyther}} can use {{m|Swords Dance}} to deflect {{type2|Fire}} attacks. However, {{Ash}} figured out it was vulnerable from above, and {{AP|Cyndaquil}} was able to knock it out, winning Ash the Hive Badge.

|desc={{p|Spinarak}} is the first Pokémon Bugsy used in his match against {{Ash}}, saying that it's one of his strongest Pokémon in his arsenal. It battled against {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and almost won with its {{m|String Shot}} and {{m|Poison Sting}} attacks, since Cyndaquil couldn't get its flame started. Eventually, Ash recalled Cyndaquil and sent out {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}} instead, despite the type disadvantage. Spinarak and Chikorita kept dodging each other's attacks, until Ash told Chikorita to use {{m|Sweet Scent}}, enabling it to {{m|Tackle}} Spinarak and win the round.}}

|desc=Bugsy's second choice for his battle with Ash was {{p|Metapod}}. Metapod used {{m|Harden}} several times to resist Chikorita's attacks, and then surprised Ash by being able to jump and {{m|Tackle}} Chikorita. Ash decided to use {{AP|Pikachu}}, and after dodging many more attacks, Pikachu managed to attack Metapod with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and win.}}

|vaen=Eric Stuart
|desc=The final and most powerful of Bugsy's Pokémon was {{p|Scyther}}. It defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] easily with a powerful {{m|Slash}} attack.

Scyther proved to be an exceptional fighter as it can hold its own against {{type2|Fire}}s by using {{m|Swords Dance}} to counter fire attacks. Using this technique, it almost defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] by deflecting all of its fire attacks. Thanks to Ash's strategy, Cyndaquil gained the upper hand. Instead of attacking horizontally, it jumped above {{p|Scyther}} and used {{m|Flamethrower}}. Scyther was unable to defend itself from the attack and it was knocked out of the battle.

It is voiced by [[Katsuyuki Konishi]] in the Japanese version and by [[Eric Stuart]] in the English dub.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[File:Bugsy Special.png|thumb|Bugsy in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Bugsy is a ruins explorer. He meets {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]], who at first mistakes the Gym Leader for a girl and asks him out on a date. When he reveals he is a boy he tells Gold that he is looking for his missing companions who were helping him study the ruins. The two of them then run into Team Rocket and accidently awaken the Unown. After being cornered by a Spinarak's Spider Web Explotaro used Smokescreen to get the Unown in the web and take out their anger on Team Rocket. Bugsy then left the cave with his companions, ecstatic about his new discovery.

Bugsy is then see with more research colleagues before Suicune appears to him. He fails to catch Suicune just like the rest and it becomes the first Pokémon to break through his capture net. He does discover several inscriptions written in Unown, one saying "Rope Escape" and another saying "Ho-Oh".

Bugsy uses a special multi-[[Poké Ball]] capture net made for him by [[Kurt]].
