== Ash capturing a Passimian ==
I've seen a lot of predictions going around that Ash might capture a Passimian and seeing the translation it might happen. Now, i'm not planning to change the article until it is confirmed, but someone else might think differently. I'm also no admin but maybe a lock? Just in case.

Danny199: /* Solgaleo and Lunala */

== Tauros/Rock Smash trivia ==

I just want to give this a place for anyone to chime in about this:
* Of all the Ride Pokemon that "replace" HM moves, Tauros is the only one who does not learn that move (i.e., {{m|Rock Smash}}) in Sun/Moon.
It gets a bit convoluted, and it kind of sounds like Tauros "should" learn Rock Smash. I do see what the point is getting at, I'm just personally not sure if it's really notable. So: any thoughts? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:46, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
:(Interesting that you removed it then.)
:I'd say it's not notable ''even if it was true''. However, Mudsdale can't learn Rock Climb (which I'd say it replaces, although those kind of statements are entirely subjective on their own), so it's a moot discussion. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:25, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Although I agree it's subjective, I think it's probably worth mentioning that Lapras and Sharpedo work exactly the same way as they did in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire as their surf counterparts with Lapras being slower but able to use a fishing rod and Sharpedo being faster but removing the ability to fish with the only differences being able to travel a bit faster in both Pokemon holding the B button and Sharpedo having the ability to break rocks. Charizard also works exactly as a Pokemon with Fly would before ORAS allowing to fly to any exact location and route. [[User:TrainerSplash|TrainerSplash]] ([[User talk:TrainerSplash|talk]]) 21:19, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

On second thought, I don't really think it's notable either. There aren't enough Pokemon that are functionally identical to HMs (five, possibly six - I haven't played enough of Gen IV to know how exactly Rock Climb works) for a one-out-of-x to make sense, plus the fact that it apparently is not even unique. Furthermore, Sharpedo could also be considered a replacement of Rock Smash, but also cannot learn it. While I do still think it's strange that they would not give the replacement Pokemon these moves, there's no good way to make it a trivia point. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 21:53, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

== Sharpedo and Lapras ==

Certain sources elsewhere suggest that Sharpedo reduces the encounter rate compared to Lapras, and Serebii actually gives this a numerical value. Since this info comes from other fansites, is there any way of verifying this ourselves? (E.g. Does Sharpedo actually reduce the encounter rate or is it just because it's moving faster?). --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 01:44, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
:Pretty sure Serebii has estimates; I believe [https://pastebin.com/6mHSg2CE those] are the actual rate reductions. We would obviously need to match rates and Pokémon (or IDs), then we could incorporate that somehow, and that'd be awesome. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 09:05, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
::I don't really understand the data you've linked to. Feel free to add any info you might think is relevant!--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 10:48, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
:::The data says that PokemonRideOnID 0 has 50% the encounter rate, ID 1 has 15%, ID 2 has 55%, ID 3 has 20%, and ID 6 has 65%. I'm (currently) not awesome, I can't easily do the matching either (it doesn't seem to be the in-game order, and some IDs might be unused), but the immediate insight is that different Ride Pokémon may have different encounter rates, and that Serebii almost certainly has estimates. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 15:13, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

== Solgaleo and Lunala ==

Shouldn't Solgaleo and Lunala also be on this page? Cause you ride on them in Ultra Space. It's kinda the same as with Mantine, it isn't registered and it serves for a mini-game. [[User:Danny199|Danny199]] ([[User talk:Danny199|talk]]) 10:00, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

== 50% Barboach ==
Is it confirmed that Barboach actually has a 50% encounter rate when fishing at the bubbling spot in Paniola Town? Cause I was looking for it to complete my dex and I did around 50 encounters and nothing but Magikarp. After that I went to Poni Gauntlet where it appeared in 3 encounters. Maybe it isn't 50%?

== Talk pages discussions ==

Don't reply to discussions that are over 6 months old as the discussion may have either been resolved or the user who asked is no longer around, making the response pointless.

::::To add an image to a page, you need to create an account on the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page archives], and then upload your image using a standardized filename (try looking at the names for images on similar pages to figure out what yours should be called). To display the image on a page, you can use <code><nowiki>[[File:[filename].[extension]]]</nowiki></code> to show the picture. However, if the page uses an infobox, it usually just requires the filename on its own as a parameter (again, try looking at similar pages to figure out what you should do). Hope this helps!

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

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Marshtomp}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Mudkip}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Swampert''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Swampertite}}.

==Biology==
Swampert is a bipedal Pokémon. It has a large cobalt blue body and large three-fingered hands. It has two orange gills that protrude from round patches on its cheeks. Its head has two large semicircular black fins that extend from the top of its orange eyes to the back of its head. Its tail fin is big, broad, and black. It has a white underside and orange ridged portions above its hands and three-toed feet.

Swampert is very strong with enough power to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton, batter down opponents, and swim faster than a jet ski. It has powerful vision, enabling it to see even in murky water. Swampert also has the ability to predict storms, sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. When a storm is approaching, Swampert will pile up boulders to protect its nest. It makes its nests on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|beautiful beaches}}.

As Mega Swampert, this Pokémon gains considerable bulk. Its upper body and arms are more muscular, while its lower body is smaller in comparison. The raised patches above its feet vanish, but it gains two additional ones on each wrist and one on each shoulder. The bumps and its gills become a darker, redder shade of orange, and the gills are now larger and extend slightly past its mouth. The black fins on its head are shorter, more streamlined, and extend down past its shoulders. The tail fin now forms a short ridge that extends up to this Pokémon’s forehead. Mega Swampert's fingers and toes are more defined, and its fingers turn black. According to the [[XY043|anime]], Mega Swampert fills the organs on its back with air before diving underwater or battling. It uses that pressure to increase the power of its punch.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Tommy Swampert.png|thumb|220px|left|Swampert in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
{{DL|Tommy (AG032)|Swampert}} debuted in ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship!]]''. It evolved from a Marshtomp that was living in an abandoned ship ever since it was separated from its Trainer {{OBP|Tommy|AG032}}. Since then, it believed that Tommy had abandoned it. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived on the abandoned ship and ran into Tommy, they started to get captured by Swampert one by one and trapped in the webbing of its {{p|Spinarak}} partner until only Ash, Brock, Tommy, and Pikachu were left. After getting Swampert to remember him, and informing it that it wasn't abandoned after all, Tommy ended up reuniting with Swampert.

[[Morrison]] introduced his {{DL|Morrison|Swampert}} to Ash and friends in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''. Morrison used his Swampert in a battle against [[Ash's Corphish]], which resulted in a tie.

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

A Swampert appeared in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', where it had an antagonistic role. It was defeated by [[Ash's Grotle]].

A {{DL|Levi|Swampert}} that can Mega Evolve appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', under the control of [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]]'s Mega Wave. {{DL|Cherie|Swampert}} was used to battled against [[Ash's Pikachu]], {{AP|Talonflame}}, and [[Clemont's Chespin]]. It was later freed from their control when [[Alva]]'s Mega Wave Crystal was destroyed, and it escaped.

====Minor appearances====
A Swampert owned by {{ga|Brendan}} was shown during his cameo appearance in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. It was seen battling against {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}}'s {{DL|Rebecca (M07)|Tyranitar}}.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Swampert appeared in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]''.

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

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

A Swampert that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Swampert appeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]''.

==Trivia==
* Mega Swampert has the highest [[base stats|base stat total]] of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
* Mega Swampert is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 635.
* Swampert and its pre-evolution {{p|Marshtomp}} are the only starter Pokémon to have a 4× weakness against another {{t|Grass|starter type}}.
* Swampert and Marshtomp have the fewest weaknesses of any starter.
* Swampert shares its two typings with both box art [[legendaries]] of its generation: ({{type|water}} with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{type|Ground}} with {{p|Groudon}}.

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

====Name origin====
Swampert may be a combination of ''{{wp|swamp}}'' and ''rampart'' or ''expert'', or a corruption of the word ''earth''.

Laglarge may be a combination of ''{{wp|lagoon}}'' and ''large'' (referring to its size). It may also involve ''{{wp|lag}}'', as in "to lag behind," due to its size and weight.

Danny199: /* Trivia */

The '''Elite Four''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|四天王|してんのう}}''' ''The Big Four'', lit. ''{{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|Pokémon 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 at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Kanto]] and are considered the best Trainers in both Kanto and [[Johto]], another is located in [[Ever Grande City]] in [[Hoenn]], another is located on [[Mount Lanakila]] in [[Alola]] and three more reside at Pokémon Leagues in {{si|Pokémon League|Sinnoh}}, {{un|Pokémon League|Unova}}, and {{kal|Pokémon League|Kalos}}.

In the games, they employ the use of strong healing items in battle.

==Indigo Elite Four==
At the [[Indigo Plateau]] — the site of the Pokémon League in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] — the Elite Four must be battled in a fixed order.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Sinnoh Elite Four.png|thumb|250px|The Sinnoh Elite Four in the anime]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} 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]]'' (acting as a temporary [[Gym Leader]] for the [[Viridian Gym]])
* [[Lance]] in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' (mentioned to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} rather than a regular member of the Elite Four)

From [[Hoenn]], Ash has met:
* [[Drake]] appeared in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', in which he invited Ash and his friends to his boat, where he had a battle with Ash.

Ash has also met the entire [[Sinnoh]] Elite Four as well:
* [[Lucian]] first appeared in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', in which he had a battle with {{an|Dawn}}, using his {{p|Bronzong}} against her {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}.
* {{EF|Aaron}} made his debut in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', in which he was seen training to challenge [[Cynthia]].
* {{EF|Flint}} debuted in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', in which he had a battle with {{Ash}}, using his {{TP|Flint|Infernape}} against his {{AP|Pikachu}}.
* [[Bertha]] appeared in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'', in which she taught Ash and Dawn how observation skills can be useful in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest]]s.

In [[Unova]], Ash has met:
* [[Caitlin]] appeared in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', in which she faced off against [[Cynthia]] during an exhibition match of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]].

In [[Kalos]], Ash has only met Malva, although two other Elite Four members have appeared as well:
* [[Siebold]] appeared in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', where he used his {{me|Blastoise}} to battle [[Alain]] and his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X.
* [[Wikstrom]] debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', in which he was seen battling [[Diantha]], using his Mega {{p|Scizor}} against her Mega {{p|Gardevoir}}.
* [[Malva]] first appeared in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'' in a video transmission. Ash didn't meet her until ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', in which he was interviewed by her.

It has been stated 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 Champion League, fighting the four members of that region's Elite Four, and then possibly the Champion as well. It has also been shown that an Elite Four member can challenge the Champion and obtain the title from him or her in battle.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Elite Four PO.png|thumb|220px|The Kanto Elite Four in Pokémon Origins]]
The members of the Kanto Elite Four made brief appearances in the episode ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'' of [[Pokémon Origins]]. {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was shown defeating all four members, allowing him to move on to face the {{pkmn|Champion|Pokémon League Champion}}, {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}.
{{right clear}}

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Kanto Elite Four PG.png|thumb|220px|The Kanto Elite Four in Pokémon Generations]]
The members of the Kanto Elite Four made appearances in the episode ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'' of [[Pokémon Generations]]. {{ga|Blue}} was shown defeating all four members, allowing him to become the {{pkmn|Champion|Pokémon League Champion}}. Later in the episode {{ga|Red}} defeated them as well.
{{right clear}}

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|Needs other manga}}
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Kanto Elite Four Adventures.png|110px|thumb|Kanto Elite Four in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Kanto Elite Four, consisting of [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], [[Lance]] and [[Agatha]], made their debut in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' watching the final battle between {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} before serving as the primary antagonists for the {{chap|Yellow}} of the manga. They are each said to be so powerful that triad leaders of [[Team Rocket]], [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Sabrina]] all had to (begrudgingly) team up with the protagonists and [[Blaine]] to take just a single one of them.

The Johto Elite Four is formed at the end of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. It consists of accomplished Pokémon Trainers that were formerly part of criminal organizations, who would eventually rise as the official Elite Four of [[Indigo Plateau]]. [[Will]], Bruno, [[Karen]], and Koga united to train together after they were no longer being controlled. They reappeared in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} participating on the [[Pokéathlon]] and later fighting against [[Lance's Dragonite]].
[[File:Hoenn Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Hoenn Elite Four in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Hoenn Elite Four, consisting of [[Sidney]], [[Phoebe]], [[Glacia]] and [[Drake]], made an appearance in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, helping to find and catch the [[legendary titans]] in order to contain the massive surge of energy created by the clash of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} alongside {{Steven}} and [[Wallace]], their two regional {{pkmn|Champion}}s. It is also during the Hoenn Elite Four's appearance that the challenge of the Elite Four and Champion was mentioned as having replaced a knockout tournament to determine the best Trainer in the region.

The first Sinnoh Elite Four member to debut in the series was {{EF|Flint}}, who made a cameo appearance in the last round of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. [[Aaron]], [[Bertha]] and [[Lucian]] appeared in the {{chap|Platinum}}, where they were enlisted by the [[Pokémon Association]] Chairman to decode the ancient writings in [[Charon]]'s memobook.

The Unova Elite Four first appeared in the {{chap|Black & White}} as {{adv|Black}} cites them during his daily pledge. However, they haven't appeared to the main characters as a group yet. Besides [[Caitlin]], who already appeared in the ''Platinum'' chapter, [[Grimsley]] meets Black, [[Shauntal]] meets {{adv|White}}, and [[Marshal]] meets both on different occasions. All four converge for the duration of the [[Pokémon League (Unova)|Unova League]] tournament that would have determined the Trainer that would challenge them.

The first Kalos Elite Four member to appear is [[Malva]], who appeared in person in {{chap|X & Y}}. [[Drasna]], [[Wikstrom]], and [[Siebold]] were mentioned by [[Diantha]] during her conversation with [[Gurkinn]] and [[Korrina]]. Siebold later appeared in the [[Lost Hotel]], cooking a meal for {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}}'s friends, as a way of apologizing for his lack of participation against [[Team Flare]]. Wikstrom and Drasna later appeared in person, assissting
X and Y's group in their quest to stop Team Flare. Drasna gave them information about {{p|Zygarde}} and Wikstrom used his {{p|Probopass}} to guide them to Team Flare's hideout.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
The Kanto Elite Four members appeared in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]'', where all of them were defeated by {{Zensho|Satoshi}}, allowing him to face the Champion, {{Zensho|Shigeru}}.
{{left clear}}

==Trivia==
* In the Kanto-based games, every Elite Four member has at least one Pokémon not of their specialty type during the first battle.
* The Kalos Elite Four members are the only ones that don't have higher level Pokémon in future rematches with them in any game.
** Additionally, they are the only ones who use just four Pokémon in rematches with them. All other Elite Four members use either five or six Pokémon during rematches.
* All the members of the Hoenn Elite 4 have two Pokémon that are capable of [[Mega Evolution]] in their teams for the ORAS rematches.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], the Elite Four typically progressed in level with their Pokémon in the games. Starting in [[Generation V]], all members of the Elite Four (except in remakes) use Pokémon of the same levels, as they can be challenged in any order.
* The Sinnoh Elite Four and Generation I Elite Four are the only Elite Four of which all members have appeared in the anime.
* [[Pokémon Puzzle League]] features its own Elite Four: [[Ritchie]], [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], and {{Gary}}. Gary serves as the leader of the Elite Four and the Puzzle League Champion.

'''Professor Augustine Sycamore''' (Japanese: '''プラターヌ博士''' ''Dr. Platane'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] from the [[Kalos]] region.

==In the games==
Professor Sycamore is mentioned as the one who selected a group made up of the [[player character]], the opposite-gendered character, [[Shauna]], [[Tierno]] and [[Trevor]] to help him with his research, sending the {{key|VI|Prof's Letter}} to the [[Grace (Kalos)|player's mother]] to ask her permission. Professor Sycamore personally gives Trevor and Tierno their [[Pokédex]] and first Pokémon, asking them to deliver both a Pokédex and a starter Pokémon for the remaining three members of the group. He sends the three [[Kalos]] [[starter Pokémon]] through Tierno.

The player first meets him in [[Lumiose City]], where he will battle the player and, afterwards, gives them one of the three Kanto starter Pokémon. On the way to [[Shalour City]], he will instruct the player to meet [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru, to learn and get a better understanding about [[Mega Evolution]]. Later, he appears at the [[Coumarine City]] monorail station and talks to [[Diantha]] about Mega Evolution and how it may be possibly related to the bonds between Pokémon and their Trainers. There, he will congratulate the player for using Mega Evolution for the first time and gives them {{HM|02|Fly}}.

He feels disappointed when [[Lysandre]] reveals himself to be the boss of [[Team Flare]], but turns to his network of acquaintances to try to stop the villainous team's plan. He sends [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] to the [[Lysandre Labs]] in order to investigate Team Flare's interest in [[AZ]] and how to thwart their plans.

At [[Couriway Town]], he will apologize to the player for not preventing what Lysandre had done. He then challenges the player to another battle to test how far they have come in their journey. After being defeated, he informs the player that he has a special surprise for helping stop [[Team Flare]] and leaves. Once the player has beaten the Pokémon League, he leads a parade for the player in Lumiose City, where he awards them and their friends with the {{key|VI|Honor of Kalos}} for their heroics.

Later, he tells the player to meet him in Lumiose Station, where he gives them a ticket to [[Kiloude City]]. After {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} is defeated in Kiloude, Professor Sycamore will upgrade the player's [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]] so that they can detect hidden [[Mega Stone]]s from 8 PM to 9 PM.

When the Pokédex is evaluated at his lab in [[Lumiose City]], Sycamore will give the player an {{key|VI|Oval Charm}} for completing all three Kalos [[Pokédex]]es (Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos) and a {{key|VI|Shiny Charm}} for completing the [[National Pokédex]].

====Gives away====
After being defeated for the first time in Lumiose City, Professor Sycamore will let the player choose themselves one of the [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]]. After the player has chosen their Pokémon, Professor will also give the player the starter's final evolution's respective [[Mega Stone]] (if Charmander was chosen, the Charizardite received will depend on the version of the game that's being played).

:''"Let's get started with some quick questions... Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?"''
* Either choice
:''"And what do you look like?"''

* Any choice
:''"Oho, I see. Would you tell me your name?"''
:''"So it's <player>, then? Did I get that right?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"<player>... {{tt|Très bien|French for very good; excellent}}! What a fantastic name!"''

:Uses the line depending on how many Pokémon have been seen in the Central Kalos Pokédex.
:''"Well now, you DO have a certain {{tt|je ne sais quoi|unidentifiable charm; lit. 'I do not know what'}}! I have a good feeling about you! At first, I was thinking of choosing only one child from a town when I was deciding who to give a Pokémon to. In Vaniville Town, it was going to be the child of a Veteran Trainer I know. About then, I learned that the {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer {{kal|Grace}} and her {{tt|son|if the player is a boy}}/{{tt|daughter|if the player is a girl}} were moving here. Here in the Kalos region, you're far away from everything you used to know... That really hit me right here... Then it hit me--I should give you a Pokémon and have you travel around Kalos!"''
:''"Fantastic! Now, let's all have a Pokémon battle! Your opponent shall be me!"''

* Before battle
:''"Shall we start the battle?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Just so you know, I'm not that tough!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Ha ha! You're too much for me! You're really something, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"I think I've about figured it out!"''
:''"<Player>! You are an interesting Pokémon Trainer indeed! It'd be fantastic if you took another Pokémon with you! Here! Pick one!"''
:''"You picked Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle, then! I see. That's simply wonderful!"''

:* If the player has or makes room in their party
::''"Would you like to give your Pokémon a nickname?"''
:::'''Yes''': ''"So, you've decided its nickname will be <nickname>?"''
:::'''No''': ''"Oh, I see. You're not going to give your Pokémon a nickname, then."''
:''"Since you chose Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle, I'll give you this Mega Stone."''
:''"Come now, you two. Pick your Pokémon."''
:''"Well, I've got a feeling everyone else will show up soon."''
:''"See. Wonderful! Everyone's all here! So now that we're all here, I'd like to say a few words. Be the best Trainer you can be! At the same time, remember to have fun traveling with your Pokémon! Also, I want to ask for your help in solving the Kalos region's biggest Pokémon mystery: the secret and potential of Mega Evolution, a new kind of Evolution that occurs in battle! That's why I gave you that Mega Stone just now. It's an important clue!"''
:''"Trevor, my lad, if that's what "best Trainer" means to you, then I want you to go out there and complete that Pokédex!"''
:''"If you're investigating Mega Evolution, why don't you check out [[Camphrier Town]]? That town has a lot of history--you might find a hint there! Now listen. If you visit many different places to complete the Pokédex, you will probably see Pokémon with many ways of living and meet people with many ways of thinking. First, accept the ways of living and thinking that sometimes conflict with your own. And think about what's really imporant--this will truly broaden your horizons."''

* If Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle was previously left with the professor
:''"Why hello! Nice to see you! Here's the <Pokémon> you chose! Take good care of it, OK?"'' (If accepted, afterwards he asks about giving it a nickname, the same as above. Whether accepted or not, he concludes with his last four lines above.)

'''[[Coumarine City]]'''
:''"Why hello, <player>!"''
:''"Congratulations! I see you finally obtained everything you need for Mega Evolution! A Mega Stone for the Pokémon, a [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]] for the Trainer, and a strong bond with your Pokémon."''
:''"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new Evolution. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..."''
:''"Oh! What an excellent point! Indeed! The more you know, the more there is to research! The excitement never ends, does it?"''
:''"Oh, that's right! I came here to give you this!"''
:''"Use the [[HM]] {{m|Fly}} to pop right over to [[Pokémon Center]]s of places you've already visited! Well then, <player>..."''
:''"Diantha, I hope to see you both again soon!"''

'''[[Lumiose City]] (Lysandre Café)'''
:''"Over here!"''
:''"I was just having a conversation with Lysandre about Mega Evolution."''
:''"Actually, Lysandre himself is of royal ancestry... He truly is a chosen one."''
:''"By the way, <player>... Do you know where the Holo Caster is made?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"That's right! They're made in Lysandre's lab."''
::'''No''': ''"Oh really? Well, they just happen to be made in Lysandre's lab."''
:''"Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster."''
:''"What a passionate person. He's just like a blazing flame. Perhaps his pride in his lineage is what makes him burn so intensely."''
:''"That being said, what Lysandre says is only one way to looking at things... It's not necessarily the truth. <player>! What's truly important is the time you spend together with others! Treasure these moments spent traveling the Kalos region with your Pokémon!"''

'''[[Couriway Town]]'''
:''"Hello..."''
:''"I have to apologize to you about Lysandre... I'm very sorry for the trouble he caused..."''
:''"And I'd also like to thank you! I'm sincerely grateful for what you did for all of the Pokémon and people of this world. And by stopping Team Flare, you also saved Lysandre. I always knew that he desired a beautiful world..."''
:''"And maybe someday the population of people and Pokémon will actually increase to where resources become very scarce. If someone acts out of greed in such a world, surely some will go without. If all living things keep acting that way, there will be nothing left at all in the end. Why, there won't even be anything left to steal, will there?"''
:''"But what I really wanted was for him to put his ego aside and lead everything to greater heights. I never had this discussion with him, though. So I'm partially responsible for this."''

* Before battle
:''"Well, enough of that. <player>! I want you and your Pokémon to take everything you learned from your journey and hit me with your very best shot!"''

* Being defeated
:''"You are really something! You and your Pokémon have developed strong bonds by spending time together and by caring about one another. That's why you and your Pokémon are so strong."''

* After being defeated
:''"The strength you've found is simply marvelous! And... You truly love and trust your Pokémon! <player>! A treasure of mine is hidden in this town! If you'd like, try to find it. Well, I'll be off then! I have many preparations I must attend to! I have a little surprise planned for all of you to thank you for fighting Team Flare and saving Kalos!"''

'''Parade at Lumiose City''' (after entering [[Hall of Fame]])
:''"What an amazing turnout! All of these people are here to celebrate your achievements. I'd like to present you with the {{key|VI|Honor of Kalos}} for the bravery you showed battling Team Flare! I'm so proud of you all! On behalf of the entire Kalos region, I'd like to say... Thank you!"''
:''"[[AZ|His]] {{p|Floette|Pokémon}} was waiting all this time... Waiting for him to return to the man he was. The man who loved Pokémon with all his heart."''

'''Lumiose Station''' (post-game)
:''"How did you like your parade, <player>? So the reason I asked you to come here is... I wanted to give you a pass to Kiloude City!"''
:''"Doesn't ring any bells? Kiloude City is a city in the southern part of the Kalos region. And it's the perfect place for Trainers looking to sharpen their skills! So here's your pass for the super high-speed rail to Kiloude City!"''
:''"Use it to ride the TMV super high-speed rail! Take your pass to that scanner over there. It's an orange machine. Have the machine scan your pass to board the train. Have a fantastic time!"''

'''Anistar City''' (after defeating {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} in [[Kiloude City]] post-game)
:''"Why, hello, <player>!"
:''"Running around all over Kalos is actially rather tiring, is it not?"
:''"Oh yeah, I'm the one making you do that, aren't I?"
:''"Terribly sorry about that!"
:''"Well, {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} may have already told you, but I found a way to power up the Mega Ring!"
:''"Before we get to that, however..."
:''"Let's talk about Mega Stones briefly."
:''"My theory is that they're special stones irradiated by the light--the energy of the Legendary Pokemon {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}/{{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}--fired from the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago."
:''"And that's what I think they are."
:''"It's even possible that stones like Fire Stones were what turned into these Mega Stones."
:''"So, what's the Mega Ring you are holding?"
:''"That mysterious stone transforms feelings felt towards Pokemon into some kind of wavelength."
:''"The Mega Ring works in a similar way to how this object over here works."
:''"It's an object that changes sunlight into a mysterious light."
:''"For one hour starting at 8 pm, this sundial starts emitting light."
:''"This mysterious object has towered over the city here for over 3,000 years."
:''"It's relationship to the Mega Ring isn't understood at all yet."
:''"Now, let's get down to the heart of the matter!"
:''"<player>! Try touching the sundial!"
* After Touching
:''"You were exposed to the Legendary Pokemon's energy in Team Flare's secret HQ."
:''"And the Mega Ring has absorbed the power of the sundial."
:''"These two powers have combined to upgrade your Mega Ring."
:''"Now, it will react to underground Mega Stones, but only when the sundial is emitting light."
:''"I'm sure these stones hide in every corner of Kalos! Use this power to find them!"

[[File:Sycamore Lab staff.png|250px|thumb|Professor Sycamore with his assistants]]
Professor Sycamore made his first appearance in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', when {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} brought an injured {{AP|Froakie}} to him. Sycamore treated Froakie while explaining that he used to be owned by Trainers but had severe behavioral problems which caused him to either abandon or be abandoned by his past Trainers. Sycamore also explained that his area of research was [[Mega Evolution]], and {{p|Garchomp}} was the Pokémon he was researching since she was capable of achieving it.

After {{TRT}}'s failed attempt to steal Froakie caused Garchomp to go wild, Professor Sycamore joined Ash in his attempt to calm her down but was forced to simply watch from the bottom of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. After the situation had been resolved, he thanked Ash by giving him a new Kalos Pokédex and allowing him to take Froakie, who had bonded with the Trainer, with him.

In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Sycamore met {{an|Serena}} as she arrived to pick her starter Pokémon.

He appeared again in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', where he met up with Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie when they returned to Lumiose City. Later, he was captured by {{TRT}}, who sought for his knowledge about Mega Evolution. Serena and Bonnie were also captured when they tried to help the Professor. The three were rescued by Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Clemont, and a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} from Sycamore's lab, but Team Rocket activated their newest mecha, which chased them across a forest. After Ash and Clemont unsuccessfully tried to defeat the mecha with Pikachu and Chespin, the group was saved by [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]] and his {{p|Blaziken}}, who destroyed the mecha, and Team Rocket was then sent blasting off by Ash and Clemont. At the end of the episode, Sycamore allowed Clemont to capture Chespin when it wanted to travel with the group.

He appeared in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'' in a flashback to [[Alain]]'s past working for him as an aide.
[[File:Sycamore casual clothes.png|thumb|left|250px|Professor Sycamore in casual clothing]]
[[File:Sycamore no lab coat.png|thumb|250px|Without his lab coat on]]
In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', he appeared to meet with [[Diantha]] regarding Mega Evolution. He attempted to charm her secretary, [[Kathi Lee]], when she interrupted, only to be hit with a book. Later, he filmed Ash's battle with Diantha and {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving against Team Rocket.

Professor Sycamore appeared again in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', where it was revealed that he invited Ash and {{ashfr|company}} to participate in his annual [[Pokémon Summer Camp]]. It was also revealed he was the one who gave {{an|Tierno}}, {{an|Shauna}}, and {{an|Trevor}} their starter Pokémon. He, along with his assistants, appeared throughout the event to officiate activities and announce winners.

He appeared in flashbacks in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'' and ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]''.

He reappeared in ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', where he saw a TV report that showed Alain fighting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}, Primal {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{me|Rayquaza}} and was shocked to see him there.

He reappeared in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'' when Ash and his friends visit him before leaving [[Lumiose City]]. He showed the group a special machine that could determine which Pokémon could Mega Evolve with a certain Mega Stone, and found out the Mega Stone was Garchompite. However, Team Rocket stole the Garchompite, along with a Key Stone and the professor's Garchomp. But before they successfully Mega Evolve Garchomp, Professor Sycamore Mega Evolves his Garchomp for the first time with the help of [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]].

He appeared again in ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'' where he watched Serena competing in the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with his lab assistants [[Sophie]] and [[Cosette]].

He reappeared in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'' where he arrived in [[Anistar City]] to research the origins of the mysterious Anistar Sundial which is said to have a connection with Mega Evolution. He was interrupted by [[Carrie (XY092)|Carrie]], who mistakenly accuses Sycamore of the looming crisis [[Olympia]] predicted. In the [[XY093|next episode]], Professor Sycamore watched Ash's Gym Battle against Olympia. After Ash's win, he discussed with Olympia about her visions of the future.

Professor Sycamore made a brief appearance in [[XY112]] and [[XY113]], watching Serena's performance in the [[Glorio City]] Master Class Pokémon Showcase along with his assistants.

|desc=Professor Sycamore's only known Pokémon is a {{p|Garchomp}} who lives at the lab with him as the main test subject as he researches Mega Evolution. When it was still a {{p|Gible}}, it rampaged through [[Lumiose City]], only to be stopped by Sycamore's assistant [[Alain]]. Alain took her to Sycamore's laboratory, where she then came to live. She gradually started to trust Sycamore and the other Pokémon at the lab, and after some time evolved into a {{p|Gabite}} and finally into Garchomp.

Despite her fearsome appearance, Garchomp is very gentle as shown by her concern for Froakie. She also enjoys company, and happily allows others to pet her. However, when Team Rocket attempted to capture Froakie, Garchomp defended it from Team Rocket's device which then attached itself to her. This caused her severe pain resulting in her going on a rampage through Lumiose City and heading to the top of Prism Tower.

Once there, she was carefully approached by Ash who refused to allow {{AP|Pikachu}} to use any moves against her since she couldn't help her behavior. Soon, with Ash and Froakie's help, the device was removed and Garchomp returned to her old self.

She appeared in flashbacks in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' and ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]''.

She reappeared in ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'' by Professor Sycamore's side whilst there was a TV report about Alain's battle with Mega Rayquaza, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.

She reappeared in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'', where she Mega Evolved into a Mega Garchomp thanks to a [[Mega Stone|Garchompite]] that he found and a [[Key Stone]] that [[Meyer|Meyer/Blaziken Mask]] lent to him.

Garchomp's only known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Slash}}.}}

[[File:Professor Sycamore Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Professor Sycamore in Pokémon Adventures]]
Professor Sycamore debuts in the {{chap|X & Y}}. He is first seen messaging [[Trevor]] via [[Holo Caster]] to inform him that the package of starter Pokémon he requested has been sent to Trevor's house. When Trevor arrives to take the three Pokémon, he is shocked to find the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} have appeared and begin battling each other. The battle causes destruction and mass panic in Vaniville Town, but Trevor manages to record footage of the event on his Holo Caster before it gets damaged. Once the two Pokémon leave, Trevor decides to travel with his friends to find answers as to what happened while also wanting to meet up with the professor in Lumiose City.

Sycamore debuts in person at his lab in Lumiose City, where he shows the footage Trevor recorded to Lysandre. Sycamore also gives a copy of the footage so that it may be used for further study.

Later, Trevor and his friends make it to Lumiose City. There, they meet with Professor Sycamore and return the {{p|Charmander}} that had previously escaped from Sycamore's lab. Trevor, {{adv|Y}}, [[Tierno]], and [[Shauna]] are sent to Lysandre Café to have Trevor's Holo Caster fixed while {{adv|X}} stays behind. When X reveals that he doesn't want to take the {{p|Chespin}} that Trevor got for him because he worries that it will only get caught up in the constant attacks from [[Team Flare]], Professor Sycamore decides to challenge him to a battle in hopes of changing his mind. Although X agrees, he is angered when he is forced to use Chespin instead of [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]. The battle ends with Professor Sycamore as the victor. Despite the lack of interest in the fight, X is impressed by Chespin's valor enough to take it on his team and give it a nickname. Much to Professor Sycamore's surprise and confusion, X also takes an interest in training the Charmander.

Afterward, the two head off to the Prism Tower while riding the Gogoat Shuttle service. When X's friends ask Sycamore about Lysandre's scary demeanor, Sycamore laughs their worries off and assumes they were just shocked from his majestic personality. He then heads inside Prism Tower to have an interview with Lumiose Press.

Sometime after Team Flare's plot to use the ultimate weapon fails, Professor Sycamore apologizes to X and his friends for not noticing that Lysandre was actually the leader of Team Flare earlier. He asks them to head to Anistar City, where he may use the secrets of the Anistar Sundial to help them stop Team Flare.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Professor Sycamore PMXY.png|thumb|left|180px|Professor Sycamore in Pocket Monsters XY]]
Professor Sycamore has appeared in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters XY|Kosaku Anakubo}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Professor Sycamore (XY 122)}}
[[File:ProfessorSycamoreXY122.jpg|200px|thumb|Professor Sycamore]]
'''Professor Sycamore''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era). First released in the {{TCG|Collection X}} expansion, it later debuted in English in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion, with both prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the character. With the same effect as {{TCG ID|Black & White|Professor Juniper|101}} from the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion, Professor Sycamore allows the player to discard their hand and draw seven cards from their deck.
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]===
Professor Sycamore appears as a trophy.
====Trophy information====
''This charming professor is an eminent Pokémon researcher in the Kalos region. He's dedicated to solving the puzzles of Mega Evolution in Pokémon, but unlike some other busy researchers, he always makes time to keep his hair stylish and his clothes and work space tidy.''

==Trivia==
* Sycamore is the first [[Pokémon Professor]] to battle the player in the games.
** However, [[Professor Oak#Unused teams|battle data]] for [[Professor Oak]] exists in the [[Generation I]] games, meaning that he may have been intended to battle the player.
* Sycamore is also the first Professor to hand out [[starter Pokémon]] that {{DL|Starter Pokémon|Kanto|were not}} introduced in {{DL|Starter Pokémon|Kalos|his generation}} upon first meeting the player character.
* According to a male Scientist on the second floor of the lab in Lumiose City, Sycamore learned a lot from [[Professor Rowan]] in [[Sinnoh]] when he was young.
* According to a woman in the [[Tower of Mastery]], Sycamore trained at the Tower of Mastery in his youth to learn about Mega Evolution. However, he left fairly quickly as he decided he didn't have what it takes.
* In the anime, Sycamore gives all three Kalos starters in reverse Pokédex order.
* In the anime, Sycamore is the first Pokémon Professor to give all three starter Pokémon to Ash and his friends.

== I have a problem ==

Hello Carmen,

There's a user here on Bulbapedia that's breaking the code of conduct you gave to me on my discussion page. The user is Kenji-Girl, although it's in Japanese lettering. I would appreciate it if you could help out or forward this message to someone on the administration who can. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 02:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

:I really can't do anything about that; sorry. Kenji-girl is a senior admin, and I'm sure she knows what she's doing. She wasn't breaking the code of conduct; she was simply explaining what you've done wrong and hopes you won't make a mistake like that again. Please understand. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen]] ''([[User talk:Carmenstar97|Talk]])'' 02:16, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

== Trainer classes ==

The reason Gen I trainers are not included is because, except in a few cases, the trainers are the same as they are in FRLG. Same level, same team. Unless there are differences (or the trainer didn't get carried over into FRLG), they didn't get noted. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 04:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

:Okay, thanks! --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|Contributions)]]'' 13:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

==No==
I know you apologized, but ''please'', next time, CHECK. --[[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 04:05, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
:I'm sorry for that. I'll make sure I check from now on. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|Contributions)]]'' 04:15, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

==Spoiler links==
I had to revert most (not all) of your edit to [[BW002]] because it went against the spoiler links policy in episode articles. I elaborated on that policy in [[User:Rockersk08/Anime Episode Synopsis Guidelines|my proposed synopsis guidelines]], where it cited a past argument that set the standard. Just take note of it for next time. Thanks! --[[User:Rockersk08|rock]][[User talk:Rockersk08|ersk]][[Special:Contributions/Rockersk08|08]] 04:08, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
:Just butting in where I'm probably not wanted (as per usual, I guess), but I don't think this is actually as big a deal as one may think. The spoiling will happen whether the link goes to the redirect or not, because if someone clicks on the link then they get a major spoiler. At best, I think this sort of thing should be a "link to whatever is appropriate given the context", but don't go out of your way to change or revert someone - it's not really a huge concern.
:Personally speaking, I think Bulbapedia should abolish spoiler warnings anyway. Seriously, this is a wiki full of information. Chances are you've come here because you want to learn something you don't already know. Every element from every canon (games, anime, manga, etc.) could be perceived as a spoiler... Maybe I'm a bit too anti-spoiler, but... —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 09:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
::I didn't know about that policy before, but I'll make sure that I will follow it. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|Contributions)]]'' 13:29, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
::: I appreciate that, but Trom also brought up a good point about it. I had been following it based on that past argument, but perhaps it could be reassessed? I'll start a conversation on the policy talk page. Feel free to chime in! --[[User:Rockersk08|rock]][[User talk:Rockersk08|ersk]][[Special:Contributions/Rockersk08|08]] 04:38, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

== Changes ==
Please, why you reverted the changes I made in the images of the pages Emolga Iris and himself? Both are totally disproportionate to their pages and end up spoiling the look of them.-[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] 22:20, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
:Please read [[Bulbapedia:Image_reversion_policy|this]]. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|Contributions)]]'' 23:50, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

== Cards and redirects ==

The cards use the links the way they do for ease of typing out origins. On a further note: The TCG links to redirects more often than other sections, because many times, linking to the actual page makes things incorrect and harder than linking the redirect. If you come across more card pages using Template:Game, just skip them, please. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 05:58, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
:Ah, sorry about that. I'll leave the card pages alone. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 13:11, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

== Inconsistency! ==

Not that big of a deal actually, but on the top of your userpage it says "she" joined bulbapedia on 10/'''22'''/10. Then it switches perspective (not that it matters, but my writing teacher would kill you for that) and at the bottom, it says you joined on 10/'''23'''/10. Not that it's my bussiness, but I just couln't help noticing it (OCD). Obviously there is a good reason for it and I'm just too much of a noob to see it, but just had to point that out.

Then it switches perspective (not that it matters, but my writing teacher would kill you for that) and at the bottom, it says you joined on 10/'''23'''/10. Not that it's my bussiness, but I just couln't help noticing it (OCD). Obviously there is a good reason for it and I'm just too much of a noob to see it, but just had to point that out.

== New Project ==

I have an idea for a new project concerning the Pokémon world: Project Record (name can change).
Basically, it's a project in which we would categorize every Pokémon-related world records.
To give an idea, here's some of the records it could feature:
*The biggest <langage> TCG collection
*The most hours played at <game>
*The fastest time to level up a <pokemon> from level <x> to <y>
*The biggest official Pokémon plush/shirt collection
*etc.

Ideas and records are endless, anything would be considered record-able if it is:
*Proven
*Breakable
*Quantifiable (countable, mesurable)

Need more info? Let me know! :) [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 20:29, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
:Honestly, the idea for this project is both impossible to gauge and not notable enough. Things like records would fit more under trivia, and even then, it's impossible to figure out what exactly those records are, since the Pokémon community is so large.

== Addition to templates ==

In the templates of the Trainers you can meet in the game on certain routes/locations. It includes the name of the trainer, the money you get by defeating him/her, and the Pokémon he uses (including their level and gender). I think we should add to each Pokémon the moves they use. Basically, the same as for [[Brendan]] by example.

What it looks like: [[Petalburg Woods#Trainers|Petalburg Woods]]

What it should look like: [[Brendan#Pokémon|Brendan]]

And again, I'm not talking about changing the whole template, it is awesome as it is for now, a list, but as I said, Pokémon should include their moves too, for the reader to know exactly what he will be facing.
[[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 22:07, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
:We don't do that for regular Trainers because: (1) they're just not notable enough, (2) if we did that for all Trainers, location pages would get unnecessarily large and cramped, and (3) I think most people would be able to defeat a regular Trainer's Pokémon before finding out all of their moves. The information could potentially be helpful, but most people wouldn't need it or search it up. And anyways, isn't part of the fun of playing a game the aspect of not knowing every little detail that will happen? --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 22:19, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

::Well, I do have a couple of things to argue with you on this.
::*Notability implies since they do have a section just for them, it would just be an additional information about them since, everything's here, except for that. I am not asking to create a whole page for them. Just add something to their section which they already have.
::*They wouldn't get so large and cramped, all we have to do is hide their abilities with an expendable class just like for the Brendan page I just sent you. It's not annoying for the eye, and if you want that particular information, all you have to do is click on a little word. Users who don't want to see it/be spoiled, won't click on it.
::*For trainers like them, okay, I agree, everyone's able to defeat them without preparation. But more advanced Trainers may need some preparation to do so, for some people. So if we do it for advanced trainers, why don't we do it for every trainers? Seems logic to me.
::*Your argument with the "it's more fun to not know it" is pretty (with all respect due) ironic to me. This website is essentially made so that anyone can dig up the information they look for. People who, as you said, play for fun and like to find out the abilities themselves, just won't use the website.

::[[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 22:28, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
:::Your request may sound simple, but the amount of effort and research that would have to be put into it is quite large. Let's look at the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Trainer class alone. There's about 400 Ace Trainers spanning all [[core series]] games so far. Let's say that on average they have 2 Pokémon each, 3 moves per Pokémon. 800 Pokémon. 2400 moves. And that's just for Ace Trainers. There's over 200 Trainer classes. There could be about 500,000 moves to research.
:::My point is, what you're suggesting is an enormous change, not just a request to add a little "additional information." And for what purpose? Just how necessary would this change be?
:::If you're still determined to have this change implemented, I'd suggest you go talk to the Head of Games or an Editorial Board member, as changes of this size are really not up to me. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 23:15, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

== Primal Kyogre ==

I must correct you on something.

Primal Kyogre itself is still subject to Fire-type attacks. Its ability renders them obsolete. However, if a slower Primal Groudon or Mega Rayquaza comes out, or they enter the field after Primal Kyogre regardless of speed, Primordial Sea vanishes and Primal Kyogre is able to be hit by Fire-type attacks at the usual rate for Water types. I am thus going to side with the user on Primal Kyogre and Fire-type attacks (same with Water types on Primal Groudon once its ability vanishes), and the table, I think, needs to be redone with the ability in mind as a note. If upper staff made the decision, however, it might be more appropriate to bring it up in discussion. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:04, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
:You're right, but allow me to defend myself a little. The main reason I reverted that edit was because in cases in which a Pokémon's only Ability is one that affects type effectiveness, such as {{a|Levitate}}, we default the type effectiveness chart to support the conditions of that Ability and leave a note at the bottom of the chart indicating exceptions. Like you said, the table does need to be updated to include a note for {{a|Primordial Sea}}, {{a|Desolate Land}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}}, but at the time I reverted that edit I didn't have the power to edit the template. I thank you for bringing this up, and I hope it's clear now. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 04:20, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
::Completely understood. I've gone ahead and removed the Primal Kyogre effectiveness table and notified Force Fire of the issue so that it can be properly addressed. Until it is, there's no point having the different tables. I have urged that notes are needed, myself, since it's clearly causing confusion. I also see no way to add notes like at Hoopa's page, which suggests they may have to do it anyway. If it were up to me (obviously it isn't, just saying LOL), I'd rather the table be factually correct ignoring the ability, and the ability note explaining things, but maybe I'm late to the party on this discussion as well.

== Snover ==

You can tell me why it isn't notworthy that Snover and Abomasnow are the only two non-fairy types who are weak to both Steel and Poison, because that is what the Trivia sector is about in my opinion. [[User:Danny199|Danny199]] ([[User talk:Danny199|talk]]) 07:54, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
:Unique type combinations are notable, while unique type combinations ''of weaknesses'' are not. If a Pokémon or an evolutionary family of Pokémon has a unique type combination, any unique type combinations of weaknesses that they may have are already directly implied by the Pokémon's type combination. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 17:55, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

::I don't think you follow what I'm saying. If an evolutionary line has a unique type combination, then naturally it should follow that the types these Pokémon are weak to are unique as well. Stating that the Pokémon have a unique type combination is sufficient; there is no need to further detail the type effectiveness of that type combination. {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Abomasnow}} are the only non-{{t|Fairy}} types weak to both {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Poison}}?

== Ash's Torterra ==

And why in the word is the fact that both Torterra, as Turtwig, and Bulbasaur both are the protectors of a sort of village filled with Pokémon. Both protect a Pokémon from Ash and his friends, Either it being an Oddish protecting for Misty, or Ash's Pikachu, thinking it being a wild Pokémon, protecting it for Ash, Dawn and Brock.

== About using the roundy templates ==

I have a huge question that I'd really like to ask you. I've been trying to use the roundy templates in the tables, and unfortunately I'm having difficulty in being able to use it on the bottom row of the table. Like for instance, if I try putting it in the same way as it is done with the top row, it does absolutely nothing. I'm not sure if it's a bug with the tables or if I'm actually using it incorrectly.

I try using this code:

Is there something else I need to put into the code? —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 12:47, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::There shouldn't be a <code>;</code> between <code><nowiki>style="{{roundybl|5px}}"</nowiki></code> and <code>align="center"</code>. Other than that, the bottom right corner looks fine to me (on Google Chrome). Something worth noting is that on Firefox (and maybe other browsers), even after taking out the <code>;</code>, you will not be able to see the roundy corners. What ''does'' work is taking out the style settings you set for the entire row (after the <code>|-</code> for the last row) and manually placing it in each of the last row's cells' settings. There are also a bunch of style issues with your code that, while technically not wrong, are considered outdated on Bulbapedia, namely the use of <code>align="center"</code>. Coding is a bit hard to explain in words even though I'm trying my best to explain, but perhaps if I fixed up the table code in [[Dungeon tile]], and you viewed the diff, it'd be easier for you to understand? --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 13:02, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

::::::Ah! Thank you so much! After looking at the differences, now I see what you mean about it. I have to take out the code next to the <code><nowiki>|-</nowiki></code>. And also, as you're showing me, it tells me that I have to take out the <code><nowiki>margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;</nowiki></code> code out of the table. I guess that's what was preventing the roundy edges from working on the bottom row. It all makes sense now. Thank you so much! —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 14:05, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Actually, the <code>margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;</code> was ''not'' what was preventing the roundy edges from working. What those do is just start the table 10 pixels from the left and leave 10 pixels of open space below the table. I left them out because they simply weren't needed for this table. What ''was'' preventing the roundy edges from working was the code next to the <code>|-</code>, which was overriding any other style codes for the cells in that row, namely the roundy calls. Like I said earlier, you have to manually insert that code into the style settings for each cell. So the bottom-left cell would get <code><nowiki>| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | <insert content for bottom-left cell></nowiki></code>, the middle cells would get <code>| style="background:#FFF" | <insert content for middle cells></code>, and the bottom-right cell would get <code><nowiki>| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | <insert content for bottom-right cell></nowiki></code>. I hope it's clear now. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 14:17, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
::::::::Ah! Now that totally makes sense. So basically if there's any code in the <code><nowiki>|-</nowiki></code>, it will use that code for the entire row of that table. I have to remember that if there's anything that needs to be inserted on the bottom cells, I have to make sure there isn't any code in that <code><nowiki>|-</nowiki></code> space. I will have to remember that only the middle cells should have codes in the <code><nowiki>|-</nowiki></code> space. Thanks again, I will also work on the other tables on the page and fix them up too.

== Database in the background ==

Hello Carmen,

I just picked on a random Jr. Admin, hope you don't mind. I am getting back into the RPG gaming aspect of pokemon and am having fun trying to collect all the pokemon in the Gen 3 games. I am a database administrator IRL and I find that I would like to look up the information I want in a database format. Do you know if there is a background database powering the website at all? I would like to be able to query information to make lists of pokemon based on specific games or find all pokemon on a given route or things like that. I'd be willing to create a database of this information, but before I take on such an endeavor I'd like to know if someone has done it before me.

Thanks,
Charmeister [[User:Charmeister|Charmeister]] ([[User talk:Charmeister|talk]]) 19:50, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about, but as far as I'm concerned, there is no sort of background database powering the website. I don't think we need one, but then again, I'm not sure. Things concerning the inner workings of the site are out of my reach, so I am definitely not the person to ask. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 22:08, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

== Ninja ==

I think you've misunderstood, I changed the category to Ninja because Ninjas in incorrect. The plural of Ninja is Ninja, just as the plural of sheep is sheep, examples of this are even in the Pokémon games and anime. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 15:03, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
:"Ninjas" is also correct. "Ninja" as a plural is used to reflect the word's Japanese origin, since Japanese words don't really differentiate between singular and plural (as far as I'm concerned). However, this is an English wiki, so we use "ninjas". If you would cite more specific examples of "ninja" being used as a plural in the games and anime, however, this would be a case more worth considering. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 15:35, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
::The description of Mahognay town in HGSS and a character in XY099 use the plural Ninja. Ninjas is an americanisation, commonly used but still incorrect. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 16:05, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
:::Kagetomo told Ippei to "look after my Ninja". Many characters have reffered to the "art of the ninja" rather than 'the art of the ninjas' {{unsigned|05308}}
::::I want to point out that "ninjas" is used in Mahogany's map description in-game, and "ninjas" has been used in character quotes in-game as well. On top of that, dictionaries disagree that it's incorrect English usage, and {{wp|ninja|Wikipedia}} also notes that it can be ninjas in English.

I'd also like to point out that wikipeida can make a similur mistsake to Bulbapedia as they are simalu websites in nature. As I said, ninjas is an americanisation and is often used and not believed to be incorrect.

:"A town with a suspicious air to it. It's a hiding place for ninjas." Right there on the page, just below the town description you're quoting. And Wikipedia pulled its citation of "ninjas" from two dictionaries, one American and one British. Are you going to say those dictionaries are wrong? Because if it's in a reputable dictionary, it's acceptable English and cannot be wrong by English standards (until a time it's changed) because it's ''recognized as correct''.

== I have a problem ==

Hello Carmen,

There's a user here on Bulbapedia that's breaking the code of conduct you gave to me on my discussion page. The user is Kenji-Girl, although it's in Japanese lettering. I would appreciate it if you could help out or forward this message to someone on the administration who can. --[[User:ShalashaskaADV|ShalashaskaADV]] 02:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

:I really can't do anything about that; sorry. Kenji-girl is a senior admin, and I'm sure she knows what she's doing. She wasn't breaking the code of conduct; she was simply explaining what you've done wrong and hopes you won't make a mistake like that again. Please understand. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen]] ''([[User talk:Carmenstar97|Talk]])'' 02:16, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

== Trainer classes ==

The reason Gen I trainers are not included is because, except in a few cases, the trainers are the same as they are in FRLG. Same level, same team. Unless there are differences (or the trainer didn't get carried over into FRLG), they didn't get noted.

:Just butting in where I'm probably not wanted (as per usual, I guess), but I don't think this is actually as big a deal as one may think. The spoiling will happen whether the link goes to the redirect or not, because if someone clicks on the link then they get a major spoiler. At best, I think this sort of thing should be a "link to whatever is appropriate given the context", but don't go out of your way to change or revert someone - it's not really a huge concern.
:Personally speaking, I think Bulbapedia should abolish spoiler warnings anyway. Seriously, this is a wiki full of information. Chances are you've come here because you want to learn something you don't already know. Every element from every canon (games, anime, manga, etc.) could be perceived as a spoiler... Maybe I'm a bit too anti-spoiler, but... —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 09:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Please, why you reverted the changes I made in the images of the pages Emolga Iris and himself? Both are totally disproportionate to their pages and end up spoiling the look of them.-[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] 22:20, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

== Cards and redirects ==

The cards use the links the way they do for ease of typing out origins. On a further note: The TCG links to redirects more often than other sections, because many times, linking to the actual page makes things incorrect and harder than linking the redirect.

== New Project ==

I have an idea for a new project concerning the Pokémon world: Project Record (name can change).
Basically, it's a project in which we would categorize every Pokémon-related world records.
To give an idea, here's some of the records it could feature:
*The biggest <langage> TCG collection
*The most hours played at <game>
*The fastest time to level up a <pokemon> from level <x> to <y>
*The biggest official Pokémon plush/shirt collection
*etc.

Ideas and records are endless, anything would be considered record-able if it is:
*Proven
*Breakable
*Quantifiable (countable, mesurable)

Need more info? Let me know! :) [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 20:29, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
:Honestly, the idea for this project is both impossible to gauge and not notable enough. Things like records would fit more under trivia, and even then, it's impossible to figure out what exactly those records are, since the Pokémon community is so large. I would say no to this idea, but thank you anyways for your efforts. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 20:54, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

== Invalid Information ==

I found an invalid information about Mr. Briney for generation 6, I am not sure how to reformulate the sentence though.

It's written ''"Mr. Briney is first seen near the [[Rusturf Tunnel]], asking the {{player}} to recover his {{p|Wingull}}, [[Peeko]], from a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}."''

== Addition to templates ==

In the templates of the Trainers you can meet in the game on certain routes/locations. It includes the name of the trainer, the money you get by defeating him/her, and the Pokémon he uses (including their level and gender). I think we should add to each Pokémon the moves they use. Basically, the same as for [[Brendan]] by example.

What it looks like: [[Petalburg Woods#Trainers|Petalburg Woods]]

What it should look like: [[Brendan#Pokémon|Brendan]]

And again, I'm not talking about changing the whole template, it is awesome as it is for now, a list, but as I said, Pokémon should include their moves too, for the reader to know exactly what he will be facing.
[[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 22:07, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
:We don't do that for regular Trainers because: (1) they're just not notable enough, (2) if we did that for all Trainers, location pages would get unnecessarily large and cramped, and (3) I think most people would be able to defeat a regular Trainer's Pokémon before finding out all of their moves. The information could potentially be helpful, but most people wouldn't need it or search it up. And anyways, isn't part of the fun of playing a game the aspect of not knowing every little detail that will happen? --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 22:19, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

::Well, I do have a couple of things to argue with you on this.
::*Notability implies since they do have a section just for them, it would just be an additional information about them since, everything's here, except for that. I am not asking to create a whole page for them. Just add something to their section which they already have.
::*They wouldn't get so large and cramped, all we have to do is hide their abilities with an expendable class just like for the Brendan page I just sent you. It's not annoying for the eye, and if you want that particular information, all you have to do is click on a little word. Users who don't want to see it/be spoiled, won't click on it.
::*For trainers like them, okay, I agree, everyone's able to defeat them without preparation. But more advanced Trainers may need some preparation to do so, for some people. So if we do it for advanced trainers, why don't we do it for every trainers? Seems logic to me.
::*Your argument with the "it's more fun to not know it" is pretty (with all respect due) ironic to me. This website is essentially made so that anyone can dig up the information they look for. People who, as you said, play for fun and like to find out the abilities themselves, just won't use the website.

::[[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 22:28, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
:::Your request may sound simple, but the amount of effort and research that would have to be put into it is quite large. Let's look at the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Trainer class alone. There's about 400 Ace Trainers spanning all [[core series]] games so far. Let's say that on average they have 2 Pokémon each, 3 moves per Pokémon. 800 Pokémon. 2400 moves. And that's just for Ace Trainers. There's over 200 Trainer classes. There could be about 500,000 moves to research.
:::My point is, what you're suggesting is an enormous change, not just a request to add a little "additional information." And for what purpose? Just how necessary would this change be?
:::If you're still determined to have this change implemented, I'd suggest you go talk to the Head of Games or an Editorial Board member, as changes of this size are really not up to me. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 23:15, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

== Primal Kyogre ==

I must correct you on something.

Primal Kyogre itself is still subject to Fire-type attacks. Its ability renders them obsolete. However, if a slower Primal Groudon or Mega Rayquaza comes out, or they enter the field after Primal Kyogre regardless of speed, Primordial Sea vanishes and Primal Kyogre is able to be hit by Fire-type attacks at the usual rate for Water types. I am thus going to side with the user on Primal Kyogre and Fire-type attacks (same with Water types on Primal Groudon once its ability vanishes), and the table, I think, needs to be redone with the ability in mind as a note. If upper staff made the decision, however, it might be more appropriate to bring it up in discussion. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:04, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
:You're right, but allow me to defend myself a little. The main reason I reverted that edit was because in cases in which a Pokémon's only Ability is one that affects type effectiveness, such as {{a|Levitate}}, we default the type effectiveness chart to support the conditions of that Ability and leave a note at the bottom of the chart indicating exceptions. Like you said, the table does need to be updated to include a note for {{a|Primordial Sea}}, {{a|Desolate Land}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}}, but at the time I reverted that edit I didn't have the power to edit the template. I thank you for bringing this up, and I hope it's clear now. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 04:20, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
::Completely understood. I've gone ahead and removed the Primal Kyogre effectiveness table and notified Force Fire of the issue so that it can be properly addressed. Until it is, there's no point having the different tables. I have urged that notes are needed, myself, since it's clearly causing confusion. I also see no way to add notes like at Hoopa's page, which suggests they may have to do it anyway. If it were up to me (obviously it isn't, just saying LOL), I'd rather the table be factually correct ignoring the ability, and the ability note explaining things, but maybe I'm late to the party on this discussion as well.

== New template? ==

I've come with the idea of a new template. Basically, it's a table with all the bonus stats a Pokémon gains per level.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:MannedTooth/Stats_Per_Level_Gen_3

Let me know what you think, and should I continue working on it so that when it's full we can implement them? Thanks ! ^~^ [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 04:23, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

::Personally, I think the first table looks easier on the eyes, but the second table is more efficient. You could try making the second table less green.

== Snover ==

You can tell me why it isn't notworthy that Snover and Abomasnow are the only two non-fairy types who are weak to both Steel and Poison, because that is what the Trivia sector is about in my opinion. [[User:Danny199|Danny199]] ([[User talk:Danny199|talk]]) 07:54, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
:Unique type combinations are notable, while unique type combinations ''of weaknesses'' are not. If a Pokémon or an evolutionary family of Pokémon has a unique type combination, any unique type combinations of weaknesses that they may have are already directly implied by the Pokémon's type combination. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 17:55, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
: It is just the only evolutionary line that has this, out of all types, their are no types with multiple weaknesses that have this as well. [[User:Danny199|Danny199]] ([[User talk:Danny199|talk]]) 19:28, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
::I don't think you follow what I'm saying. If an evolutionary line has a unique type combination, then naturally it should follow that the types these Pokémon are weak to are unique as well. Stating that the Pokémon have a unique type combination is sufficient; there is no need to further detail the type effectiveness of that type combination. {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Abomasnow}} are the only non-{{t|Fairy}} types weak to both {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Poison}}?

::: I got that part. What I tried to ask you if it isn't nameworthy to tell that out of all the Pokémon evolutionary lines, only Snover and Abomasnow are weak to all the weaknesses of one type, in this case Fairy, neglecting the fact that Normal and Electric only have one weakness.

And why in the word is the fact that both Torterra, as Turtwig, and Bulbasaur both are the protectors of a sort of village filled with Pokémon.

== About using the roundy templates ==

I have a huge question that I'd really like to ask you. I've been trying to use the roundy templates in the tables, and unfortunately I'm having difficulty in being able to use it on the bottom row of the table. Like for instance, if I try putting it in the same way as it is done with the top row, it does absolutely nothing. I'm not sure if it's a bug with the tables or if I'm actually using it incorrectly.

I try using this code:

Is there something else I need to put into the code? —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 12:47, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::There shouldn't be a <code>;</code> between <code><nowiki>style="{{roundybl|5px}}"</nowiki></code> and <code>align="center"</code>. Other than that, the bottom right corner looks fine to me (on Google Chrome). Something worth noting is that on Firefox (and maybe other browsers), even after taking out the <code>;</code>, you will not be able to see the roundy corners. What ''does'' work is taking out the style settings you set for the entire row (after the <code>|-</code> for the last row) and manually placing it in each of the last row's cells' settings. There are also a bunch of style issues with your code that, while technically not wrong, are considered outdated on Bulbapedia, namely the use of <code>align="center"</code>. Coding is a bit hard to explain in words even though I'm trying my best to explain, but perhaps if I fixed up the table code in [[Dungeon tile]], and you viewed the diff, it'd be easier for you to understand? --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 13:02, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much! —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 14:05, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Actually, the <code>margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;</code> was ''not'' what was preventing the roundy edges from working. What those do is just start the table 10 pixels from the left and leave 10 pixels of open space below the table. I left them out because they simply weren't needed for this table. What ''was'' preventing the roundy edges from working was the code next to the <code>|-</code>, which was overriding any other style codes for the cells in that row, namely the roundy calls. Like I said earlier, you have to manually insert that code into the style settings for each cell. So the bottom-left cell would get <code><nowiki>| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | <insert content for bottom-left cell></nowiki></code>, the middle cells would get <code>| style="background:#FFF" | <insert content for middle cells></code>, and the bottom-right cell would get <code><nowiki>| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | <insert content for bottom-right cell></nowiki></code>. I hope it's clear now. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 14:17, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
::::::::Ah! Now that totally makes sense. So basically if there's any code in the <code><nowiki>|-</nowiki></code>, it will use that code for the entire row of that table. I have to remember that if there's anything that needs to be inserted on the bottom cells, I have to make sure there isn't any code in that <code><nowiki>|-</nowiki></code> space. I will have to remember that only the middle cells should have codes in the <code><nowiki>|-</nowiki></code> space. Thanks again, I will also work on the other tables on the page and fix them up too.

== Database in the background ==

Hello Carmen,

I just picked on a random Jr. Admin, hope you don't mind. I am getting back into the RPG gaming aspect of pokemon and am having fun trying to collect all the pokemon in the Gen 3 games. I am a database administrator IRL and I find that I would like to look up the information I want in a database format. Do you know if there is a background database powering the website at all? I would like to be able to query information to make lists of pokemon based on specific games or find all pokemon on a given route or things like that. I'd be willing to create a database of this information, but before I take on such an endeavor I'd like to know if someone has done it before me.

Thanks,

I think you've misunderstood, I changed the category to Ninja because Ninjas in incorrect.

:"Ninjas" is also correct. "Ninja" as a plural is used to reflect the word's Japanese origin, since Japanese words don't really differentiate between singular and plural (as far as I'm concerned). However, this is an English wiki, so we use "ninjas". If you would cite more specific examples of "ninja" being used as a plural in the games and anime, however, this would be a case more worth considering. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 15:35, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Fairy (type)

2016-04-05T16:01:55Z

Danny199: /* Trivia */ I don't know if this is trivia worthy, but since the new games, and new poks, won't come out until the end of this year, it is, in my opinion, still relevant as trivia.

{{redirect|Fairy|the Egg Group|Fairy (Egg Group)}}
{{types}}
The '''Fairy type''' (Japanese: '''フェアリータイプ''' ''Fairy type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Fairy-type Pokémon include the [[Gym Leader]] [[Valerie]] of [[Laverre City]].

The Fairy type was introduced in [[Generation VI]]. As well as introducing new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the Fairy type, 22 Pokémon and 3 [[move]]s were changed to be of the Fairy type.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
As it was created to balance the competitive play in [[Generation VI]], the Fairy-type is considered to be one of the best defensive types, along with the {{t|Steel}}-type. As such, it is considered to be an anti-metagame type, having traits that no other is capable of offering - a key resistance to the powerful {{t|Fighting}} type, as well as the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Bug}} types, granting resistances to frequently used moves like {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Knock Off}}, and {{m|U-turn}}. Most of all, it also has a useful immunity to {{type|Dragon}} moves. Its only weaknesses are to {{t|Poison}} and Steel, both of which were rarely used offensively prior to its introduction.

Since the Pokémon of this type tend to have a high {{stat|Special Defense}}, they excel at the role of being a special wall, further strengthened by the fact that there are few powerful special attackers among Steel and Poison types, {{p|Magnezone}} and {{p|Gengar}} respectively being examples of such.

Despite all of this, Fairy type Pokémon tend to have a below average {{stat|Defense}} stat, though there are some exceptions, such as {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Carbink}}, and {{p|Togekiss}}.

===Offense===
Fairy is quite strong on offense, as well. It is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}} against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}}, all of which previously only had two weaknesses. It is resisted by the {{t|Fire}}, Poison, and Steel types. However, most Fire types struggle defensively and cannot hit Fairy types super effectively in return, making Poison- and Steel-types the only true threats against them, even if the former is weak to {{t|Psychic}}-type moves, common among Fairy Pokémon. Additionally, all three of those types are weak to {{t|Ground}}, making Fairy and Ground a viable attack combination to use. Fairy also pairs well with {{t|Ghost}} and Dark, with the former combination being resisted only by {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Pyroar}} and the latter being resisted only by Mawile and {{p|Klefki}}.

Despite having numerous advantages, the Fairy type is hindered by a lack of particularly powerful Fairy-type moves, being somewhat weak statistically and having a disadvantageous match-up against the Poison- and Steel-types, two of the best defensive types in the series. Also, since Fairy types typically have high {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but relatively low Defense and {{stat|Speed}} stats, they have advantageous match-ups against most special attackers but poor ones against physical attackers overall.

===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Fairy-type moves are typically {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and {{OBP|Cute|condition}} moves. None of them are considered {{OBP|Cool|condition}} or {{OBP|Tough|condition}} moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 37 Fairy-type Pokémon, or 5.1% of all Pokémon (counting [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the third rarest Pokémon type, behind {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Ice}}.

==Trivia==
* More Pokémon were changed to Fairy than either of the other types added since [[Generation I]] (the other two being {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} in [[Generation II]]), with 22. Also, more moves were changed to Fairy, with three. All three of them were [[Status move]]s introduced in [[Generation II]] and were previously {{type|Normal}}.
** It is also the only one out of the three types to completely change the types of Pokémon from previous generations, changing several previously pure Normal-type Pokémon, such as {{p|Snubbull}}, to pure Fairy.
* Every type that resists Fairy also resists {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}}.
** In addition, those types are weak to {{t|Ground}}.
* The Fairy-type is one of the two types that {{m|Hidden Power}} cannot become, the other being the {{type|Normal}}.
** This, combined with the lack of any Fairy-type moves in {{p|Kecleon}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s movesets, prevents all Pokémon that naturally have {{a|Protean}} from becoming Fairy-type using it (although Kecleon can become Fairy-type with its other Ability, {{a|Color Change}}).
* The Fairy type has the fewest [[physical move|physical moves]] of all types, with only {{m|Play Rough|one}}.
*Fairy-type has the fewest damage-dealing moves of any type at seven, with only six of these available to players.
* {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} is the only Fairy-type move that is available via a [[TM]].
** No Fairy-type moves are available via [[Move Tutor]]s.
* Fairy is the only type not to have been combined with all the three starter types, {{type|fire}}, {{type|water}} or {{type|grass}}. Currently, the Fairy and Fire typing haven't been paired.

'''Bill''' (Japanese: '''ソネザキマサキ''' ''Masaki Sonezaki'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} Researcher, widely regarded as an expert in many fields. He has made many appearances in the games. Bill is most commonly found in his [[Sea Cottage]], which is north of [[Cerulean City]] at the end of {{rt|25|Kanto}}. He is most notable for his first appearance in the [[Generation I]] games and for his [[Pokémon Storage System]] that has been pertinent in the entire main series.

==In the games==
Bill is a talented and famous inventor, who invented the original Pokémon Storage System and [[Time Capsule]]. People, including himself, call him a PokéManiac because of his large collection of both common and rare Pokémon. The first one he caught was an {{p|Abra}}; however, his favorite Pokémon are {{p|Eevee}} and its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]]. Bill also gives a free Eevee to {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{sup/2|C}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} in [[Generation II]] and its remakes, and another one to [[Bebe]] in [[Generation IV]], which is later given to {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}.

Bill also has several friends that share his interests in computer technology. One of them is [[Celio]], his old friend from {{OBP|One Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]]. He is also close with [[Lanette]] and [[Bebe]], the storage system developers of [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]], respectively. He is stated to have requested [[Cassius]] control the Storage System of [[Kalos]] in [[Generation VI]].

Bill also has some fans, like {{tc|Poké Maniac|PokéManiac}} Brent of Generation II who calls the player with information about him. Most of his calls are trivia about Bill himself and his family, such as the fact that Bill's mother used to be a [[Kimono Girl]] and that Bill's younger sister can't wink. He also mentions that Bill might have a crush on the flower girl in [[Goldenrod City]]. Brent also revealed the fact that Bill is lactose-intolerant, which was also stated by Celio in [[Generation III]].

Bill has been shown to have a large family. His adult sister and grandfather live in [[Fuchsia City]]. In Generation II, his grandfather watches over Bill's cottage on Route 25 while he is visiting the rest of his family in Goldenrod City.

In the Japanese versions of the games, Bill speaks in Kansai dialect like most Goldenrod City natives.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, Bill can be found at the [[Sea Cottage]] on the [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean Cape]], initially performing an experiment on Pokémon teleportation. However, Bill accidentally becomes combined with the body of a [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] and requires the player's help to fix the problem. In Pokémon Yellow, {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the player's Pikachu}} [[Walking Pokémon#Pokémon Yellow|will be confused]] by the whole ordeal, and shocked upon seeing Bill return back to his original form. After things are back in order, he speaks about his Pokémon Storage System and what was formerly on the PC menu as "Someone's PC" will change to "Bill's PC." He will also give away an {{key|I|S.S. Ticket}} so that the player can board the [[S.S. Anne]]. He gives the player the ticket as a gift for changing him back into a human, and also claims that the rich crowd of the S.S. Anne isn't his type. If the player exits Bill's house and goes back in, they can check his computer for information on {{p|Eevee}} and its three [[Evolutionary stone|stone]] evolutions, his favorite Pokémon.

===[[Generation II]]===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Bill is visiting his family in [[Goldenrod City]]. After he gets the [[Time Capsule]] up and running in [[Ecruteak City]], players can visit him at his parents' house in Goldenrod and receive an {{p|Eevee}}. His sister will give the player Bill's number so they can check the storage system.

While visiting [[Lanette]] in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, players can check one of her computers to find an E-mail from Bill. The English translation of the e-mail in [[Generation III]] makes it seem as if Bill is crediting Lanette for upgrading his system, whereas the Japanese text and the English text in [[Generation VI]] clearly establishes that he and Lanette are co-developers of the original system.

==In the anime==
[[File:Bill anime.png|thumb|200px|Bill talking about the world of Pokémon]]
Bill's only anime appearance was in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' where {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} met him at his lighthouse.

Bill had previously been trapped in a {{p|Kabuto}} costume for what he claims to have been hours (in the dub only; the original didn't state how long he had been in the costume) until Ash finally comes to press the release button for him. Afterwards, Bill fulfills a request made by Professor Oak to give Ash and his friends a lesson on the basics of Pokémon, during which Bill shares the idea that there may be many more than just 150 species of Pokémon. The remainder of his appearance is spent focused on explaining to Ash and company his recent project, involving a {{p|Dragonite|mysterious Pokémon}} whose cry can be heard across the sea.

As it came closer to the lighthouse, [[Team Rocket]] was shown scaling the cliff, and upon seeing the {{pkmn2|giant}} Dragonite, they began launching a barrage of missiles at it. This angered Dragonite, and it smashed the top of the lighthouse and began to walk away. Bill called out at it to stay, but to no avail.
In the morning, Bill seemed to be at peace with the fact that he didn't get to learn more about the Pokémon and was simply grateful he got to see it at all. With another life lesson from Bill, the heroes said goodbye and continued on their journey.

==In the manga==
Bill makes appearances in several manga, including [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]], [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Pokémon Zensho]], and [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Bill EToP.png|thumb|200px|Bill in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Bill appears in the third chapter of The Electric Tale of Pikachu, ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]''. He works with [[Professor Oak]] researching a colony of {{p|Clefairy}} at [[Mt. Moon]]. He was the one to discover the colony of Clefairy and has befriended many of them. Together with Professor Oak and {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}, he assists the Clefairy with an evolution ceremony.

In the same chapter, Bill also reveals parts of his past to Ash. In the beginning, Bill only became a Pokémon Trainer because he didn't like school and wanted to take a leave of absence, but as time went on, he discovered that he deeply cared for his Pokémon. He decided to become a Pokémon researcher after witnessing his {{p|Ivysaur}} evolving into {{p|Venusaur}}.

Bill reappears with {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[ET19|Side Story: Ash vs. Gary]]'' at a Pokémon research center.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
[[File:Bill Golden Boys.png|thumb|right|120px|Bill in Golden Boys]]
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], Bill appears in the chapter ''[[GB11|Gold and Black VS. Team Rocket]]''. He tells {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Whitney]] all the folklore of [[Ecruteak City]], including the legends of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, the [[legendary beasts]], and the story of the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Brass Tower]]. Later, when Bill, Gold, and the Gym Leaders are held hostage by {{GnB|Grey}} and the other Rockets, he loans his {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} to Gold and {{GnB|Black}}.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Bill leopard form PM.png|thumb|125px|left|Bill as a leopard]]
[[File:Bill PM.png|thumb|140px|Bill in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Bill and his wife were transformed into a leopard and {{p|Mew}} respectively from an unsuccessful experiment, which his wife noted, when they combined themselves with a cat when they wanted to combine a human and an animal together. After doing so, Bill's wife went out to search for a Moon Stone in order to get changed back to humans. She managed to find the Moon Stone that {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} were searching for. They went after Mew and arrived in an abandoned water mill. Red and Green's entrance caused Bill to appear and introduce himself to them. He then explained that he was the one who created the unknown Pokémon in the house and is experimenting on creating the most powerful Pokémon. However, the Pokémon Bill created turned out to be just plush dolls instead of real Pokémon. Seeing {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}, Bill decided to use him for one of his experiments but was stopped by his wife before he was able to do so. His wife explained the story about their transformations to the group and why she took the Moon Stone from them. After the story, Green decided to try and catch her, thinking that she was a real Mew but was stopped from doing so by Bill.

When Clefairy battled [[Green's Charizard]], Bill went to one of the machines to shrink Charizard but it ended up shrinking both Clefairy and Charizard since the former did not leave the machine on time. After Green gave up on catching Bill's wife in the form of Mew, the group watched as Bill and his wife used the Moon Stone and the machine that transformed them in the first place, to change back into humans. As soon as that happened, both Red and Green ran away after noticing Bill's hideous appearance in human form.
[[File:Bill wife PM.png|thumb|135px|Bill's wife]]
[[File:Bill 2 PM.png|thumb|130px|left|Bill's Johto appearance]]
Bill made a reappearance in ''[[PM025|Bring Down the Strongest Pokémon!!]]'' with his wife. {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} kidnapped him and his wife in order to finish creating {{TP|Blue|Mewtwo}} since Giovanni only created the first half. Giovanni tied up his wife, as well as Green and his Charmander, thus blackmailing Bill into working on creating the Mewtwo. Clefairy tried to stop the creation of Mewtwo from getting finished but Giovanni's {{p|Meowth}} prevented him from getting closer. With Mewtwo completed, Bill's wife was released, and she and Bill went up to Mew to see if it was okay. When Clefairy battled Mewtwo, he threw it in the DNA switching machine and Clefairy went in the other one. Clefairy told Bill to give Mewtwo his DNA and Bill activates the DNA switching machine which transformed Clefairy into Mewtwo. Clefairy goes in the machine again but Bill could not do it since it did not have any power. {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters}} used his electricity to charge it up and Clefairy's DNA went to Giovanni's other Pokémon.

Bill made his third appearance in ''[[PM088|Find the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' His appearance is closer to his game artwork in this chapter. A Kimono Girl takes Red and his Pokémon to him after they were playing around in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]. Bill shows them his [[Time Capsule]] machine and demonstrates it on a guy about to get hit by a car, Tyrogue runs to the car and gets hit instead. Bill then ponders about his past which made Clefairy interested and wants the group to try it out. They go in the time machine and he sends them back in time.

Bill appears in ''[[PZ04|Vermilion City]]'' where he transformed into a {{p|Nidoran♂}}. {{Zensho|Satoshi}} comes by and mistakes him for an actual Nidoran. He ends up catching him and Bill tells Satoshi that the Nidoran is him. He then has Satoshi place him in a machine that will separate his human self from his Pokémon self.

==Trivia==
* Bill is one of two male characters in charge of a PC storage system, running the systems for the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions. [[Cassius]] is the second, running the system for the [[Kalos]] region. The characters in charge of the storage systems in the [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] regions are all female.
* Bill being mixed with a Pokémon during a teleportation experiment seems to be a direct reference to the movie ''{{wp|The Fly}}'', where a scientist experimenting with teleportation pods ends up combined with a fly.
* In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], if a player declines to go to the [[Sevii Islands]] after defeating [[Blaine]], Bill will wait in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s Pokémon Center. During this period, he is both back at his home on {{rt|25|Kanto}} and on Cinnabar Island at the same time.
* In the anime, Bill has green hair, and appears to be wearing formal clothing. In the games, his appearance differs greatly.
* Many rumors sprouted up during the time of Generation I where if the player could travel to the gap which appeared at the back of Bill's House, they would encounter Mew. This proved to be false and to stop further rumors, the gap was removed in the Generation III remakes.
* In Generation II and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a fan of Bill's named Brent will reveal trivia about Bill via the [[Pokégear]]. The information shared include the fact that Bill's younger sister can't wink, Bill's first Pokémon caught was {{p|Abra}}, his mother used to be a [[Kimono Girl]], Bill is lactose intolerant (also claimed by Celio in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), he isn't very good at Pokémon battles, and that Bill is attracted to the Goldenrod Flower Shop owner's daughter.
* In the anime, Bill is portrayed as having an {{wp|Regional accents of English|English accent}}, while in the Pokémon Adventures manga, he is portrayed as having a southern American accent.
* The Pokémon Bill is mixed with is different in each canon: in Generation I he is mixed with an unknown Pokémon, in Generation III he is mixed with a {{p|Clefairy}}, in the Pokémon Adventures manga he is mixed with a {{p|Rattata}}, in the Pokémon Zensho manga he is mixed with a {{p|Nidoran♂}}, and in the anime he is trapped in a {{p|Kabuto}} costume.
* According to a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], Bill studied at [[Celadon University]].
* Bill is currently the only Storage System developer to have appeared in the [[Pokémon Animé|animé]].

'''Bill''' (Japanese: '''ソネザキマサキ''' ''Masaki Sonezaki'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} Researcher, widely regarded as an expert in many fields. He has made many appearances in the games. Bill is most commonly found in his [[Sea Cottage]], which is north of [[Cerulean City]] at the end of {{rt|25|Kanto}}. He is most notable for his first appearance in the [[Generation I]] games and for his [[Pokémon Storage System]] that has been pertinent in the entire main series.

==In the games==
Bill is a talented and famous inventor, who invented the original Pokémon Storage System and [[Time Capsule]]. People, including himself, call him a PokéManiac because of his large collection of both common and rare Pokémon. The first one he caught was an {{p|Abra}}; however, his favorite Pokémon are {{p|Eevee}} and its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]]. Bill also gives a free Eevee to {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{sup/2|C}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} in [[Generation II]] and its remakes, and another one to [[Bebe]] in [[Generation IV]], which is later given to {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}.

Bill also has several friends that share his interests in computer technology. One of them is [[Celio]], his old friend from {{OBP|One Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]]. He is also close with [[Lanette]] and [[Bebe]], the storage system developers of [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]], respectively. He is stated to have requested [[Cassius]] control the Storage System of [[Kalos]] in [[Generation VI]].

Bill also has some fans, like {{tc|Poké Maniac|PokéManiac}} Brent of Generation II who calls the player with information about him. Most of his calls are trivia about Bill himself and his family, such as the fact that Bill's mother used to be a [[Kimono Girl]] and that Bill's younger sister can't wink. He also mentions that Bill might have a crush on the flower girl in [[Goldenrod City]]. Brent also revealed the fact that Bill is lactose-intolerant, which was also stated by Celio in [[Generation III]].

Bill has been shown to have a large family. His adult sister and grandfather live in [[Fuchsia City]]. In Generation II, his grandfather watches over Bill's cottage on Route 25 while he is visiting the rest of his family in Goldenrod City.

In the Japanese versions of the games, Bill speaks in Kansai dialect like most Goldenrod City natives.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, Bill can be found at the [[Sea Cottage]] on the [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean Cape]], initially performing an experiment on Pokémon teleportation. However, Bill accidentally becomes combined with the body of a [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] and requires the player's help to fix the problem. In Pokémon Yellow, {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the player's Pikachu}} [[Walking Pokémon#Pokémon Yellow|will be confused]] by the whole ordeal, and shocked upon seeing Bill return back to his original form. After things are back in order, he speaks about his Pokémon Storage System and what was formerly on the PC menu as "Someone's PC" will change to "Bill's PC." He will also give away an {{key|I|S.S. Ticket}} so that the player can board the [[S.S. Anne]]. He gives the player the ticket as a gift for changing him back into a human, and also claims that the rich crowd of the S.S. Anne isn't his type. If the player exits Bill's house and goes back in, they can check his computer for information on {{p|Eevee}} and its three [[Evolutionary stone|stone]] evolutions, his favorite Pokémon.

===[[Generation II]]===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Bill is visiting his family in [[Goldenrod City]]. After he gets the [[Time Capsule]] up and running in [[Ecruteak City]], players can visit him at his parents' house in Goldenrod and receive an {{p|Eevee}}. His sister will give the player Bill's number so they can check the storage system.

===[[Generation III]]===
====Hoenn====
While visiting [[Lanette]] in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, players can check one of her computers to find an E-mail from Bill. The English translation of the e-mail in [[Generation III]] makes it seem as if Bill is crediting Lanette for upgrading his system, whereas the Japanese text and the English text in [[Generation VI]] clearly establishes that he and Lanette are co-developers of the original system.

In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]], Bill is in the same area as in the original games. However, he also appears on [[Cinnabar Island]] asking for help in the [[Sevii Islands]] shortly after [[Blaine]] is defeated. While on [[One Island]], he introduces the player to [[Celio]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Bill anime.png|thumb|200px|Bill talking about the world of Pokémon]]
Bill's only anime appearance was in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' where {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} met him at his lighthouse.

Bill had previously been trapped in a {{p|Kabuto}} costume for what he claims to have been hours (in the dub only; the original didn't state how long he had been in the costume) until Ash finally comes to press the release button for him. Afterwards, Bill fulfills a request made by Professor Oak to give Ash and his friends a lesson on the basics of Pokémon, during which Bill shares the idea that there may be many more than just 150 species of Pokémon. The remainder of his appearance is spent focused on explaining to Ash and company his recent project, involving a {{p|Dragonite|mysterious Pokémon}} whose cry can be heard across the sea.

As it came closer to the lighthouse, [[Team Rocket]] was shown scaling the cliff, and upon seeing the {{pkmn2|giant}} Dragonite, they began launching a barrage of missiles at it. This angered Dragonite, and it smashed the top of the lighthouse and began to walk away. Bill called out at it to stay, but to no avail.
In the morning, Bill seemed to be at peace with the fact that he didn't get to learn more about the Pokémon and was simply grateful he got to see it at all. With another life lesson from Bill, the heroes said goodbye and continued on their journey.

==In the manga==
Bill makes appearances in several manga, including [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]], [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Pokémon Zensho]], and [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Bill EToP.png|thumb|200px|Bill in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Bill appears in the third chapter of The Electric Tale of Pikachu, ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]''. He works with [[Professor Oak]] researching a colony of {{p|Clefairy}} at [[Mt. Moon]]. He was the one to discover the colony of Clefairy and has befriended many of them. Together with Professor Oak and {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}, he assists the Clefairy with an evolution ceremony.

In the same chapter, Bill also reveals parts of his past to Ash. In the beginning, Bill only became a Pokémon Trainer because he didn't like school and wanted to take a leave of absence, but as time went on, he discovered that he deeply cared for his Pokémon. He decided to become a Pokémon researcher after witnessing his {{p|Ivysaur}} evolving into {{p|Venusaur}}.

Bill reappears with {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[ET19|Side Story: Ash vs. Gary]]'' at a Pokémon research center.

===In the How I Became a Pokémon Card manga===
[[File:Bill HIBAPC.png|thumb|150px|Bill in How I Became a Pokémon Card]]
In the [[PW01|first chapter]] of [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]], a younger Bill rescues a lost {{p|Dratini}} from an angry crowd and it lives with him for a couple of days, until its father, an angry {{p|Dragonite}}, begins to go on a rampage. Dratini returns home, promising to always be friends with Bill.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Bill (Adventures)}}
Bill appears as a supporting character in Pokémon Adventures.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
[[File:Bill Golden Boys.png|thumb|right|120px|Bill in Golden Boys]]
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], Bill appears in the chapter ''[[GB11|Gold and Black VS. Team Rocket]]''. He tells {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Whitney]] all the folklore of [[Ecruteak City]], including the legends of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, the [[legendary beasts]], and the story of the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Brass Tower]]. Later, when Bill, Gold, and the Gym Leaders are held hostage by {{GnB|Grey}} and the other Rockets, he loans his {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} to Gold and {{GnB|Black}}.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Bill leopard form PM.png|thumb|125px|left|Bill as a leopard]]
[[File:Bill PM.png|thumb|140px|Bill in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Bill and his wife were transformed into a leopard and {{p|Mew}} respectively from an unsuccessful experiment, which his wife noted, when they combined themselves with a cat when they wanted to combine a human and an animal together. After doing so, Bill's wife went out to search for a Moon Stone in order to get changed back to humans. She managed to find the Moon Stone that {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} were searching for. They went after Mew and arrived in an abandoned water mill. Red and Green's entrance caused Bill to appear and introduce himself to them. He then explained that he was the one who created the unknown Pokémon in the house and is experimenting on creating the most powerful Pokémon. However, the Pokémon Bill created turned out to be just plush dolls instead of real Pokémon. Seeing {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}, Bill decided to use him for one of his experiments but was stopped by his wife before he was able to do so. His wife explained the story about their transformations to the group and why she took the Moon Stone from them. After the story, Green decided to try and catch her, thinking that she was a real Mew but was stopped from doing so by Bill.

When Clefairy battled [[Green's Charizard]], Bill went to one of the machines to shrink Charizard but it ended up shrinking both Clefairy and Charizard since the former did not leave the machine on time. After Green gave up on catching Bill's wife in the form of Mew, the group watched as Bill and his wife used the Moon Stone and the machine that transformed them in the first place, to change back into humans. As soon as that happened, both Red and Green ran away after noticing Bill's hideous appearance in human form.
[[File:Bill wife PM.png|thumb|135px|Bill's wife]]
[[File:Bill 2 PM.png|thumb|130px|left|Bill's Johto appearance]]
Bill made a reappearance in ''[[PM025|Bring Down the Strongest Pokémon!!]]'' with his wife. {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} kidnapped him and his wife in order to finish creating {{TP|Blue|Mewtwo}} since Giovanni only created the first half. Giovanni tied up his wife, as well as Green and his Charmander, thus blackmailing Bill into working on creating the Mewtwo. Clefairy tried to stop the creation of Mewtwo from getting finished but Giovanni's {{p|Meowth}} prevented him from getting closer. With Mewtwo completed, Bill's wife was released, and she and Bill went up to Mew to see if it was okay. When Clefairy battled Mewtwo, he threw it in the DNA switching machine and Clefairy went in the other one. Clefairy told Bill to give Mewtwo his DNA and Bill activates the DNA switching machine which transformed Clefairy into Mewtwo. Clefairy goes in the machine again but Bill could not do it since it did not have any power. {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters}} used his electricity to charge it up and Clefairy's DNA went to Giovanni's other Pokémon.

Bill made his third appearance in ''[[PM088|Find the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' His appearance is closer to his game artwork in this chapter. A Kimono Girl takes Red and his Pokémon to him after they were playing around in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]. Bill shows them his [[Time Capsule]] machine and demonstrates it on a guy about to get hit by a car, Tyrogue runs to the car and gets hit instead. Bill then ponders about his past which made Clefairy interested and wants the group to try it out. They go in the time machine and he sends them back in time.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[File:Bill Zensho.png|thumb|180px|Bill in Pokémon Zensho]]
Bill appears in ''[[PZ04|Vermilion City]]'' where he transformed into a {{p|Nidoran♂}}. {{Zensho|Satoshi}} comes by and mistakes him for an actual Nidoran. He ends up catching him and Bill tells Satoshi that the Nidoran is him. He then has Satoshi place him in a machine that will separate his human self from his Pokémon self.

==Trivia==
* Bill is one of two male characters in charge of a PC storage system, running the systems for the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions. [[Cassius]] is the second, running the system for the [[Kalos]] region. The characters in charge of the storage systems in the [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] regions are all female.
* Bill being mixed with a Pokémon during a teleportation experiment seems to be a direct reference to the movie ''{{wp|The Fly}}'', where a scientist experimenting with teleportation pods ends up combined with a fly.
* In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], if a player declines to go to the [[Sevii Islands]] after defeating [[Blaine]], Bill will wait in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s Pokémon Center. During this period, he is both back at his home on {{rt|25|Kanto}} and on Cinnabar Island at the same time.
* In the anime, Bill has green hair, and appears to be wearing formal clothing. In the games, his appearance differs greatly.
* Many rumors sprouted up during the time of Generation I where if the player could travel to the gap which appeared at the back of Bill's House, they would encounter Mew. This proved to be false and to stop further rumors, the gap was removed in the Generation III remakes.
* In Generation II and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a fan of Bill's named Brent will reveal trivia about Bill via the [[Pokégear]]. The information shared include the fact that Bill's younger sister can't wink, Bill's first Pokémon caught was {{p|Abra}}, his mother used to be a [[Kimono Girl]], Bill is lactose intolerant (also claimed by Celio in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), he isn't very good at Pokémon battles, and that Bill is attracted to the Goldenrod Flower Shop owner's daughter.
* In the anime, Bill is portrayed as having an {{wp|Regional accents of English|English accent}}, while in the Pokémon Adventures manga, he is portrayed as having a southern American accent.
* The Pokémon Bill is mixed with is different in each canon: in Generation I he is mixed with an unknown Pokémon, in Generation III he is mixed with a {{p|Clefairy}}, in the Pokémon Adventures manga he is mixed with a {{p|Rattata}}, in the Pokémon Zensho manga he is mixed with a {{p|Nidoran♂}}, and in the anime he is trapped in a {{p|Kabuto}} costume.
* According to a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], Bill studied at [[Celadon University]].
* Bill is currently the only Storage System developer to have appeared in the [[animé]].

== Question ==

Hey Kogoro, sorry if this the wrong area but I see that this talk is more active than the one on Bulbagarden Archives. When I try to upload new scans for new TCG cards, it will not allow me to do so stating that I must be an autoconfirmed user or a confirmed user. Please help! Thanks, [[User:SirFinkleBottom|Sir]][[Special:Contributions/SirFinkleBottom|Finkle]][[User talk:SirFinkleBottom|Bottom]] 16:15, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
:Confirmed is an Archives-exclusive usergroup that executive staff can apply to uploaders who have been approved to upload Generation VI game images, but don't meet the requirements for Autoconfirmed. Autoconfirmed, on the other hand, is applied automatically when an account has reached a specific number of edits & has existed for a specific number of days. If you want a file uploaded to the Archives and do not have the permissions to do so, you can make an upload request on an active [[a:Archives:Staff|Archives staff]] member's talk page. Keep in mind, that we will require access to the image(s) (and approval from the person who originally digitized the image(s)) to upload them for you. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

== 500 edits/day milestone! :D ==

Hey! I'm currently writing my 501th edit on the wiki today.

I've earned the [[Template:User_500_Day|template]], right? :3

My first edit was made on February 14 2016 17:58.

My last edit was made on February 15 2016 06:43.

Between these two edits, there was an elapsed time of 12:45.

<nowiki>:</nowiki>) [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 06:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:Unfortunately, no, you have not earned it. The edits must take place between 00:00 and 23:59 (UTC) in the same calendar day, which is noted right on the template page. As your edits take place between two calendar days, they are not eligible for the user tag. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::Are you serious? What's the difference? It was under 24 hours, which is a day. I don't understand why such detail should be important. I'll let you know that not everyone has the same time, my day is alway split in half with the wiki's time because of the timezone, having a full day on the wiki would mean to do all my edits starting at 2am, which, not everyone can. With all due respect, this is plainly injust. We shouldn't be judged on our timezone, that's close to discrimination. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 07:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:::UTC is our server time, and all of our time-based institutions are measured on server time. Allowing users to base time-based institutions on their own time zones has caused far too many problems and arguments in the past, so we simply do not allow such anymore. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:48, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::::I understand that, but tell me, what would have been different if I started editing 2 hours later? The outcome would have been the same, I would have contributed and been rewarded, so it would have been a win-win for everyone, but for now, I feel robbed of harsh hours of work throughout a whole day... You don't need the website to see wheter I did enough edits or not, do you? Just go on my contributions page, click show 500 and you'll see that it has been done in less than 24hours, it's not like it was a tight 23h and some minutes, I did it in under 13hours, that's worth being noticed, nah? Devoted contributors are rare, so you shouldn't be too picky if you want to keep them... :/ [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 08:01, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:::::There'd have been no difference, cause you still wouldn't have made it to 500 within a single calendar day if you had started editing two hours earlier. If your most important reason for editing this wiki is to get a fancy user tag, you may need to reconsider your reasons for being here. I'm going to quote something from a former staff member that really rings true:
::::::''"This is not a race or a competition, if you reach 500 edits a day that's good for you but it doesn't really mean anything, as quality is what's really needed here rather than some mere numbers. Editing a wiki is a thankless job, but we do it for the good of the community."''
:::::Please try to keep that in mind. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 08:13, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::::::I said later... Anyway, you are right, I never intended to do it for the achievement, I just happened to edit and realized I was at 350 ao I figured I would finish the job I was doing and get it at the same time, anyway... I'm just really dissapointed, that's all... [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 08:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::::::::I apologize, the use of "earlier" was a typo from being distracted. Anyway, I can confirm that you have qualified to use the user tag. Congrats. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 02:07, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

== 3 questions ==

Hello I have gathered three questions which I would be most thankfull if you could answer.

#Would it be possible to make it so that when editing and pressing 'Show preview' the Interwiki-links present can be displayed in the preview? Because this has annoyed me some times when edit a page and want to check if it links correcly before pressing save. And i know this can be done because that feature is present at Super Mario Wiki and Poképédia to name two.
#Is this [[User:Raltseye/List of Russian Pokémon names|list]] done or does it need all the names because all Pokémon have not been released as TCG cards? I only listed names from the official TCG.
#Since Pokéteca has more or less been removed from the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis partnership should they not be removed from the main page? Also should we not mention something about it on the [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]] page and delete [[Template:Pt|these]] [[Template:Es|two]] templates?
--[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 17:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
:#Depending on how they do it, it may be possible for us to do so as well. I'll have to look into it before giving a definitive answer as to whether we can or feel it's necessary, however.
:#It seems alright to me. However, since it is a TCG-based listing, I'll have a chat with Maverick Nate about it before we opt to mainspace it.
:#We'll try to handle the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis in the next few days, since developments like these are best handled by staff. I'll update the main page shortly, and deal with the templates later.

== Idea about fandom ==

Hi, my name is Danny Williams, shortly Danny199, and I got up with an idea, and wanted to ask if it has a possibility of working. Also, I don't know if I contacted the right person, so forgive me if I misplace this.

I recently became more active on the fandom front, mostly fanfiction and nuzlockes, and what catched my eye is how less atention some of these get, while they are pretty good. Even the wikia's made for Nuzlocke's and Fanfiction writing, aren't that populair, people come there to advertise, but no-one comes there to look for a story, mainly because it isn't known. Now here comes the thing: Bulbagarden, or Bulbapedia, is extremely well-known, every Pokémon fan has at least once checked this site. The thing I thought of is: Isn't it an idea to make a variant on Bulbapedia on the Bulbagarden network, and this one specificant for all fandom things, including nuzlockes, fanfictions, Pokémon Youtube channels, cause there are a lot unknown, everything. Bring it all together in one big site for all fans to find something. You could even go as far as putting links in Bulbapedia, like: Putting on, for example, Charormander's page a link with 'Charmander's appearences in Fanfictions' or, to be more general, 'Charmander's appearences in the Fandom'. It seemed to be like a real good idea, I hope it can work out. I would love to put some work in it, and make it active as fast as possible, but I can't start without permission from the founder.

As I said in the beginning, I don't know if I put this request in the right place, but again, you'll need to forgive me for it.

Greetings, Danny199 {{Unsigned|Danny199}}

:Bulbagarden already has a place where fan-created content can be posted, it's called [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php the Bulbagarden Forums]. As for your idea of putting links such as "_____'s appearances in fan fiction" or "_____'s appearances in the fandom", it's not going to happen. It's been suggested several times in the past, and there's simply not enough notable cases of such to be something that's reasonable. Keep in mind that the ''vast majority'' of fandom-created content just doesn't meet our notability guidelines, and we note the very few notable cases where it's appropriate to do so.

:Additionally, please understand that Bulbapedia ''isn't'' an advertisement source, nor should it be. We're not here to advertise people's self-created Pokémon stories, Nuzlocke runs, or anything like that. We're here to be a resource for significant Pokémon information. If people want their fan-creations to get noticed, it's up to them to figure out how to promote their stuff appropriately. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:50, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

::Than what are the guidelines for fandom? There is alot of fanfiction, nuzlocke and fandom creations like that, if someone takes some time and looks through them all, I think you'll find enough that follow the guidlines. Also, it isn't really advertising, it is informing the visitor about the best fanfiction and the best nuzlocke runs, both for example, on the internet, so they can have a look themselves. It isn't ment to advertise, although it might have been a major point in the text I wrote earlier but that was a small mis-writing, but to have the visitors being informed, the same as Bulbapedia does with all the official information, can this wikia do with all the fandom information [[User:Danny199|Danny199]] ([[User talk:Danny199|talk]]) 08:44, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
::Then why is shipping allowed on this site with impunity if it is just a fan concept like fanfictions and Lockes? If that is the case, shouldn't shipping be relegated to the forums? And marriage/crushes don't make it anymore than a form of fan fiction. One is a legal, social and/or religious commitment, while the other is not canon until it is announced by both parties and a commitment to adhere to such is made by the characters and the writers. Also, people see too many little insignificant things as signs that people are attracted to each other. I think it is both pedantic and hypocritical for a fact-based, anti-fanproject wiki to tolerate, since most shipping pages are filled with rampant and gross un-Bulbapedia-like speculation, questionable implications, and are poorly policed and maintained by reputable users. I personally believe Shipping deserves 1 page covering what shipping is in a neutral tone with no speech for or against the subject matter in question and no quantitative or qualitative lists of "common/notable" ships, if any, and a subsequent ban on speculation about shipping of any sort, no matter how "canon" it may be reasoned to be(because they are relative to the eye of the observer, because shipping is a matter best left to fanforums and lesser sites. And no, I am not "offended" by shipping, I just don't find it appropriate for Bulbapedia. I strongly recommend a takedown of all things shipping, and a ban on references and coverage of such except on the Shipping page, as to make a statement about speculation. Or allowing all fandom things to be accounted for, to show acceptance of the fandom and its ways. Which stance you want to take is up to you, but I think it is a win-win. --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 05:46, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey Kogoro, sorry if this the wrong area but I see that this talk is more active than the one on Bulbagarden Archives.

:Confirmed is an Archives-exclusive usergroup that executive staff can apply to uploaders who have been approved to upload Generation VI game images, but don't meet the requirements for Autoconfirmed. Autoconfirmed, on the other hand, is applied automatically when an account has reached a specific number of edits & has existed for a specific number of days. If you want a file uploaded to the Archives and do not have the permissions to do so, you can make an upload request on an active [[a:Archives:Staff|Archives staff]] member's talk page.

== 500 edits/day milestone! :D ==

Hey! I'm currently writing my 501th edit on the wiki today.

I've earned the [[Template:User_500_Day|template]], right? :3

My first edit was made on February 14 2016 17:58.

My last edit was made on February 15 2016 06:43.

Between these two edits, there was an elapsed time of 12:45.

<nowiki>:</nowiki>) [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 06:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:Unfortunately, no, you have not earned it. The edits must take place between 00:00 and 23:59 (UTC) in the same calendar day, which is noted right on the template page. As your edits take place between two calendar days, they are not eligible for the user tag. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 07:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

::Are you serious? What's the difference? It was under 24 hours, which is a day. I don't understand why such detail should be important. I'll let you know that not everyone has the same time, my day is alway split in half with the wiki's time because of the timezone, having a full day on the wiki would mean to do all my edits starting at 2am, which, not everyone can. With all due respect, this is plainly injust. We shouldn't be judged on our timezone, that's close to discrimination. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 07:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
:::UTC is our server time, and all of our time-based institutions are measured on server time.

::::I understand that, but tell me, what would have been different if I started editing 2 hours later? The outcome would have been the same, I would have contributed and been rewarded, so it would have been a win-win for everyone, but for now, I feel robbed of harsh hours of work throughout a whole day... You don't need the website to see wheter I did enough edits or not, do you? Just go on my contributions page, click show 500 and you'll see that it has been done in less than 24hours, it's not like it was a tight 23h and some minutes, I did it in under 13hours, that's worth being noticed, nah?

:::::There'd have been no difference, cause you still wouldn't have made it to 500 within a single calendar day if you had started editing two hours earlier. If your most important reason for editing this wiki is to get a fancy user tag, you may need to reconsider your reasons for being here. I'm going to quote something from a former staff member that really rings true:
::::::''"This is not a race or a competition, if you reach 500 edits a day that's good for you but it doesn't really mean anything, as quality is what's really needed here rather than some mere numbers. Editing a wiki is a thankless job, but we do it for the good of the community."''

If you take only my main edits, I have more than 1000 here : [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?limit=1000&tagfilter=&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=MannedTooth&namespace=0&tagfilter=&year=2016&month=-1]

:Creating redirects, minor edits, and reverted edits aren't counted (along with edits already mentioned in the TCM page). And honestly, who cares? You've made over 600 edits and got top spot in the TCM ladder, good for you? The number of edits you make don't, and never will, matter. It's the quality of those edits. So if your only concern is to make as many edits as you can to get top spot on a monthly ladder, then you need to look at your priorities.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:46, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

== Idea about fandom ==

Hi, my name is Danny Williams, shortly Danny199, and I got up with an idea, and wanted to ask if it has a possibility of working. Also, I don't know if I contacted the right person, so forgive me if I misplace this.

I recently became more active on the fandom front, mostly fanfiction and nuzlockes, and what catched my eye is how less atention some of these get, while they are pretty good. Even the wikia's made for Nuzlocke's and Fanfiction writing, aren't that populair, people come there to advertise, but no-one comes there to look for a story, mainly because it isn't known. Now here comes the thing: Bulbagarden, or Bulbapedia, is extremely well-known, every Pokémon fan has at least once checked this site. The thing I thought of is: Isn't it an idea to make a variant on Bulbapedia on the Bulbagarden network, and this one specificant for all fandom things, including nuzlockes, fanfictions, Pokémon Youtube channels, cause there are a lot unknown, everything. Bring it all together in one big site for all fans to find something. You could even go as far as putting links in Bulbapedia, like: Putting on, for example, Charormander's page a link with 'Charmander's appearences in Fanfictions' or, to be more general, 'Charmander's appearences in the Fandom'. It seemed to be like a real good idea, I hope it can work out. I would love to put some work in it, and make it active as fast as possible, but I can't start without permission from the founder.

As I said in the beginning, I don't know if I put this request in the right place, but again, you'll need to forgive me for it.

Greetings, Danny199

==No Water-Type Moves?==
"Despite being a Water/Rock Pokémon, Corsola has never had or used any attacks of either type." Um, '''[[BubbleBeam (move)|Bubble Beam]]''' is a Water-Type move. So, if Misty's Corsola has used Bubble Beam (I haven't seen many of the episodes it's featured in, so I don't know if it ever did) than it HAS used a water-type move. [[User:Fyrmer|Fyrmer]] 11:23, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Well in Pokemon Heroes Corsola did use a BubbleBeam on Kabutops. Thats why I put it up there, but I apologize. I suck at this, so sorry again. [[User:Voit|Voit]]

==Voice Actor==

I saw one of the discussions saying "Rachael Lillis confirmed on a message board that she played Corsola". Was she talking herself or was it really Kayzie playing Corsola?

== Last Pokémon ==

I read at Politoed's page that it was the last Generation 1 Pokémon captured by a main character in the original series, for as far as I know, is Corsola the latest Generation 2 Pokémon captured in the Original Series, should this be but in the trivia sector as well?

== Forum Links ==

I've noticed that the forums moved to a new address and because of that, the links to the old forums on the bottom of many pages don't work and clicking on it just leads to the message that says the address was changed to the current one. Shouldn't we fix this and is there anyway that I can help with this? --[[User:Willyh106|Willyh106]] ''([[User talk:Willyh106|Talk]])’’ 14:23, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
:Could you give some examples? We've updated several templates, but it's possible there are some we missed.

::One example I just thought of was the "May Club" link on [[May (anime)|this page]]. It is an old, closed thread, but it worked fine and I was able to look at it without any problems before the forum changed its address. I think I saw more and some more examples I can think of are links like the "Rules" link at the [[Bulbagarden forums]] page itself and also the link to the "AdvanceShipping Nation" on the [[AdvanceShipping]] page too. I think that even if it is a tedious task, if we change all the old BMGf links to the current ones, people will have a more pleasant experience with gathering more info and we'll be able to avoid some possible confusion.

What about we create a page that regroups a list of every underleveled Pokémon ever found in the games? That is a pretty interesting thing to me.

== Massive and enraging grammar issue! ==

I've been editing anime and manga plots tonight, and most of my edits were undone because ''"they contained more grammar mistakes than before."''

Hear me out, when you are talking about a group of person, the subject is 3rd person singular.

Examples:

*Team Rocket ''is'' (NOT ARE) tired. ''It'' (NOT THEY) must rest a bit.
*The group ''searches'' (NOT SEARCH) for a place where ''it'' (NOT THEY) can stay the night.
*Team Rocket ''bumps'' (NOT BUMP) into Red.

Then, as far as I know, it's not the Trainer who uses a move, but the Pokémon itself.

Examples:

*Red sends out Poliwhirl and ''makes him use'' (NOT USES) Water Gun.

Having my hard-worked edits reverted when I know for a fact that I am right, made me legit mad.

I just want to help, so next time, can you either look up why I did this, or just ask me before you undo it all? Thanks. [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 06:54, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
:To be frank, expressing your anger like this won't earn you any points. You're welcome to debate the merits of your edits, but try to keep a bit more of a level head about it.
:That said, in most particular, the main page talk page really is not a very appropriate place to raise the question of your personal edits. Use the talk page for a page you were reverted on or use the other person's talk page.
:And I think I'll leave it there. If this is brought up in a more appropriate place, I'd be glad to comment as well as I can. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:18, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

::Me being "mad" (I wasn't really, it was just to illustrate my feeling of demotivation) is not the point I want to talk about, neither is my personal edits.

== AntiRocketShippers ==

Do AntiRocketShippers '''count'''? They aren't even RocketShippers! Why not add "AntiPokéShippers" to the types of PokéShippers? [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]]

It's worth noting their major arguments against the pairing. [[User:Argy|Argy]]

Question on that -- Then why ''isn't'' there a section for "AntiPokéShippers" in the PokéShippers page?? Seems a little bias to me. I am thinking the Sects of RocketShipping needs to be rewritten. Instead of there being a section for "AntiRocketShippers" under the categories of RocketShipping (which makes no sense to me), there should just be a paragraph noting the major arguments against the pairing. --[[User:Mistress Puff|Puff]] 17:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

== R*cketshippers==

Just curious, in reference to the last edit made on (15:15, 25 March 2007) by [[User:FrozenPandaMan|FrozenPandaMan]] - Why has the term "R*cketshippers" been changed to "Rocketshippers". :/ I'm not exactly active on creating shipping names, I just follow them - So before I make an edit I just want to know what the current shipping term should be for the 'old school shippers'. --[[User:Mistress Puff|Puff]] 16:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

== Offensiveness ==

Whilst I agree with freedom and speech and the right to state what you believe, I think that this comment under RocketShippers: "Lives for any sort of event that can be considered a hint, no matter how small. The infamous manga is their bible." and a few others is a little too much. :/ Stating facts against the shipping is fine and all, but that just seems a bit too harsh to me and could be potentially insulting. (As I'm new here, I didn't want to edit anything before discussing it first.) Your thoughts? --[[User:Rachie|Rachie]] 16:35, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I very much agree -- I think that this entire article should be looked at and revised.. What gets me is that there is an AntiRocketShipper section, and yet there is nothing like that in some of the other shipping pages -- PokéShipping is a main example. --[[User:Mistress Puff|Puff]] 04:28, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

== Overhaul ==

I did an overhaul of the page to make it less biased. Feel free to edit as you see fit, but please don't make it that biased and rude again. D: [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 05:50, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Removing the sects is one thing, but can we leave the rest of the page as it was? I don't think this current version gives as much information as the previous one. Bulbagarden Rocketshippers worked very hard on giving the page the revamp it desperately needed back in May, so I think the history section should be restored to what it was. [[User:Rocket Girl|Rocket Girl]] 07:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm all for keeping the sects, too. They're defunct now, but they're still a significant part of the ship's history. Either way, I think the page should be changed back to how it was before this "overhaul". The Bulbagarden Rocketshippers worked hard to make it presentable and informative, and it was just fine the way it was because of their extensive revamp. --[[User:Demon of Light|Demon of Light]] 07:33, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm with Demon of Light. Unlike the other ships, Rocketshippings' sects are a HUGE and notable part of its history. And from what I've read, I know you think you're doing the page a big favour (maybe you read old comments saying that the page was rubbish .etc.) but like Rocket Girl said, the Bulbagarden Rocketshippers put a lot of thought into it and gave the page a massive overhaul in May. What you've done is like taking a step backwards rather than forwards and it's now less informative than before. --[[User:ii kanji|ii kanji]] 10:23, 20 August 2009

:I'm also for keeping the sects in - there are so many older websites and fanfic comments out there that mention them, new fans that run into the terms need an overview! And - biased? Shipping is a bias in and of itself. I really don't understand what you mean, CherryParanoia. And needless to say, if you're going to make accusations of rudeness, you should be specific about what exactly you believe was "rude." I vote we restore the page as it was, and then reexamine it - if there's some specific wording you object to, then a little precise surgery will suffice better than this mass amputation. ~ShinyAeon, Aug 20, 2009, 4:56 AM CST

== Spanish dub hints ==

I noticed there are numerous hints in the article which refer to "the Spanish dub". Are they from the {{pmin|Latin America}}n or {{pmin|Spain|European Spanish}} dub? I think this should be clarified in the article for factual accuracy as these regions have different translations of the anime. (Also, should they be grouped separately?) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 05:38, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

: The reason I think they shouldn't be in a separate section is because the Latin American Spanish dub is based on the English dub, so much of the dialogue (even things you might not expect, like idioms and word play) is identical. I think it'd be more sensible to just contrast the differences instead of writing out the Spanish versions of shippy dialogue that I've already talked about in the English section. On the other hand, one of the reasons one could argue for a separate section is that in the Latin American dub, Jessie and James are either canon or very, very close to canon (I've added a part where Jessie says to James "You love me so much, aww," and I'm going to add a part where James refers to Jessie as his "girlfriend."); which is obviously in stark contrast to the ambiguity in the the English and Japanese versions.

:Good plan, I switched it. On the record, I made "Manga evidence" its own heading so that future hints from [[Ash and Pikachu]] can be added if they are discovered (also anything from the movie manga adaptations, especially {{ma|Mewtwo Strikes Back!}} since it was also created by Toshihiro Ono, so anyone who has actually read the manga might be able to determine if there are any shippy scenes in that one, considering it's by the same creator of the manga where they got married :P) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 23:46, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

== Anti-Hint ==

I found a hint to support the fact that Jessie and James are not in a relationship in Abandon Ship, AG032, where Max thinks Jessie and James where, in a disguise, a nice old couple, Jessie answers with nobody ever acquised us from being old. James adds, 'and certainly not a couple.'
