'''Hilbert''' (Japanese: '''トウヤ''' ''Tōya'') is the male [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. His female counterpart is {{ga|Hilda}}.

==In the games==
==={{game|Black and White|s}}===
====As the playable character====
Hilbert is a boy who lives in [[Nuvema Town]], as do his childhood friends, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]]. If chosen as the player, he will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. After setting off on his [[Pokémon journey]] at the same time as Cheren and Bianca, Hilbert will at some point be asked by [[Fennel]] to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Hilbert will receive a [[C-Gear]].

As well as encountering and battling his childhood friends at various points during his journey, Hilbert will also meet a young man known as [[N]], who wishes to create separate worlds for humans and Pokémon. In order to achieve his goals, he and Hilbert will battle several times during the course of the game. Hilbert also battles [[Team Plasma]] at various stages of his journey. Ultimately, Hilbert is recognized as a hero by {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, depending on the version.

====As a non-playable character====
If not chosen as the player, Hilbert appears as the player's partner in the [[Battle Subway]] when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants him to base his team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Hilbert's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

==={{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}===
In Black 2 and White 2, the protagonist of Black and White was said to be searching for N in a faraway region and has not yet returned home. His mom mistakes the player for him.

Cail

DarthNightmaricus: /* History */

{{samename|Kail of the [[Pokémon anime]]|Invincible Pokémon Brothers}}
----
[[File:Cail Colo.png|thumb|right|150px|Cail in Colosseum]]'''Cail''' (Japanese: '''マサ''' ''Masa'') is a NPC that appears in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. He has green hair and wears a black jumpsuit. He stands at the entrance of [[Pyrite Town]] for the duration of the game and will battle [[Wes]] several times throughout it. He is a good but unwilling source of information who only "spills the beans" upon being defeated in battle. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Rogue''' (Japanese: '''ゴロツキ''' ''Rogue'').

==History==
He is first seen when Wes and [[Rui]] first enter Pyrite Town. He tricks [[Officer Johnson]] into letting him go with only a warning. As Johnson walks away, Cail chuckles at the man's incompetence.

Later, after Wes has visited the [[Pyrite Colosseum]] and hears about Cail having an odd {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from a local {{tc|Hunter}}, Wes approaches Cail and they battle. After losing, Cail gripes about being scammed by Miror B.'s claim about [[Shadow Pokémon]] and tells Wes that he got his own Shadow Pokémon (a {{p|Furret}}) from the Pyrite Colosseum.

After Wes has defeated [[Miror B.]] Cail will battle him again and will have evolved his three normal Pokémon and replaced his Furret with a {{p|Granbull}}. He will battle as many times as the player wishes, one just has to leave town and come back.

[[File:Cail XD.png|thumb|left|250px|Cail as the Pyrite Town Gatekeeper in ''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness'']]
After Wes has defeated [[Evice]] he receives and e-mail on his [[P★DA]] from [[Secc]]. He goes to meet him and he tells him that Cail saw a strange Pokémon. Cail and Wes battle, with Cail losing again and telling Wes that he battled a Trainer in a flashy outfit who used a Shadow Pokémon. It will be the Pokémon that is strong against the [[Johto]] [[Starter Pokémon]] that Wes chose to Snag in [[Phenac City]]. Cail directs Wes to [[Snagem Hideout]]. During this battle, all of Cail's applicable Pokémon will have evolved again.

After that battle, for an unknown reason, Cail's levels and evolutions revert to what they were after Wes defeated Miror B.

In Pokémon XD, Cail is the self-appointed gatekeeper of Pyrite Town. When spoken to, Cail claims that will not let [[Michael]] into Pyrite Town without a battle, although it is entirely possible to just run right past him. Other than that, he plays no significant role.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Having finally reached the [[Lumiose Conference]] finals, {{Ash}} is now facing [[Alain]], who has proven to be an extremely powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}} to battle against. With the remaining Pokémon being three-to-two in Ash's favor, {{AP|Pikachu}} is now facing Alain's ace: {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Pikachu attacks Charizard with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the {{pkmn|category|Flame Pokémon}} shrugs off the {{DL|Damage|super effective}} hit as if it was nothing. Ash commands a {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Pikachu's previous battle against Alain's {{p|Metagross}} is starting to show its effect, causing the Electric Mouse to fall on its knee. A {{m|Flamethrower}} from Charizard lands a clean hit on Pikachu, who barely has any strength left to continue. Charizard takes flight and launches another Flamethrower, but Ash, using a tactic learned from [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} on the ground, creating a cloud of dirt to block the incoming {{type|Fire}} attack. Alain compliments Ash's strategy before ordering a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, which Pikachu counters with an Iron Tail. The two moves clash, but the impact is too much for the weakened Pikachu, who finally [[Fainting|faints]], leaving both sides with two Pokémon remaining.

Back at the stands, [[Malva]] is commentating on the events taking place at the stadium, but her cameramen, {{TRT}}, are hardly paying any attention on her, instead complaining about Pikachu losing. [[James]], whom [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} had glared at for rooting for their [[Twerp|enemy]] [[XY130|earlier]], is glad to see his fellow team members cheering for Ash too, as none of them is wanting to see their longtime enemy lose to a guy like Alain. In the crowd, [[Ash's friends]] are discussing about the battle situation. [[Sawyer]] points out that both of Alain's remaining Pokémon have already battled, while Ash's remaining two Pokémon are still at full health, giving him an advantage. {{an|Serena}} agrees to this, seeing the confident smile on Ash's face. At the VIP box, [[Mairin]] is encouraging Alain to do his best.

Ash sends out {{AP|Goodra}} as his fifth Pokémon, while Alain chooses to [[recall]] Charizard and send out his {{p|Bisharp}} again. In order to create an environment suitable for Goodra, Ash has the Dragon Pokémon use {{m|Rain Dance}}, creating a [[rain]]storm on the battlefield. Goodra begins the offensive with {{m|Ice Beam}}, which Bisharp dodges while charging in for an {{m|Iron Head}}. Goodra blocks the attack by grabbing Bisharp with its horns and then throwing it into the air. Goodra's assault continues with a {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, which is blocked by a {{m|Focus Blast}} from Bisharp. As Bisharp charges in for another Iron Head, Ash has Goodra use {{m|Bide}}, forcing it to take the attack. As Bide is charging, Alain continues his own offensive by having Bisharp attack with another Focus Blast and Iron Head, severely damaging Goodra. Ash launches a counterattack in the form of a full-charged Bide, which hits Bisharp dead on, causing it to fall on its knee. Back at {{rt|14|Kalos|the wetlands}}, [[Keanan]] and the wetland Pokémon are following the battle on [[Television|TV]], while [[Meyer]] and [[Clembot]] listen to the broadcast from a radio while doing a repair job on a roof in [[Lumiose City]].

Back at the stadium, Bisharp hits Goodra straight into the face with an Iron Head, causing the severely weakened Dragon Pokémon to fall on its knees. Alain orders Bisharp to go for the finish with a {{m|Guillotine}}, which Goodra desperately attempts to counter with a Dragon Pulse, but the Sword Blade Pokémon slices through the counterattack and delivers a devastating Guillotine, causing Goodra's endurance to finally run out and the resilient {{type|Dragon}} to faint, leaving Ash with just one Pokémon remaining: {{AP|Greninja}}. As Ash's {{type|Water}} is sent out, Malva comments how losing Greninja would result in Ash's defeat. Behind her, Team Rocket grumpily comments on how she's acting as if Greninja's defeat is only a matter of time, as they of all people know how tough Ash can be.

Alain commands an Iron Head from Bisharp, which Greninja counters with a {{m|Double Team}}. As Bisharp is trying to find the real one among the clones, Ash calls a {{m|Water Shuriken}} from Greninja, which makes a direct hit on Bisharp, finally taking it out of the fight. Sawyer realizes that Ash used the rain created by Goodra's Rain Dance to his advantage, as it powers up Greninja's Water-type moves. For his final Pokémon, Alain calls out his Charizard once again. Both Ash and Alain are determined to do their best with their final battlers. Both Pokémon charge in at each other, and Charizard fires a Flamethrower, but Greninja dodges it and strikes Charizard straight in the chest with {{m|Cut}}, causing the Flame Pokémon to be pushed back just as the rainclouds above the battlefield start clearing up. Even though the rain has ended, {{an|Clemont}} assures everyone that Greninja still has the advantage in type. Serena also has full confidence in Ash.

Looking at Alain, Ash swears he's not going to lose to him, and that he'll fight him with all of his power, activating the [[Bond Phenomenon]] and transforming Greninja into Ash-Greninja. Alain, getting excited of seeing Ash bringing out his full power, responds by [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his Charizard into Mega Charizard X. With both sides at their best, the entire stadium is ready to witness the final round of the Lumiose Conference to unfold before their eyes.

Ash-Greninja charges at Mega Charizard X and uses Double Team, but Alain has his partner to use Flamethrower to get rid of the clones. As all the Double Team clones are wiped out, Greninja emerges from the smoke left behind by the attack and hurls a Water Shuriken at Charizard, which is countered by a Dragon Claw. Ash orders Greninja to use {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and Alain responds with a command for another Dragon Claw. The attacks clash a couple of times, until Charizard finds an opening and manages to land a direct hit on Greninja, causing Ash to cringe in pain as well due to the synchronization between him and Ash-Greninja. Charizard fires yet another Flamethrower across the battlefield, but Greninja counters just in time by using Cut to slice through the blue-hot flames. Alain has Charizard use its most powerful attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, but Greninja quickly counters the attack by slamming its Water Shuriken into the ground, causing a wave of water to burst out of the ground and block the incoming Fire-type move. Using the resulting steam cloud as a cover, Greninja dashes close to Charizard and strikes it on the head with an Aerial Ace, causing it to get slammed down to the ground.

As Charizard struggles to get back up, Alain congratulates Ash on giving him an thoroughly enjoyable battle. But, as Mairin's image flashes in his mind, he then loudly declares that he's going to be the strongest, and will not lose to anyone anymore. A Dragon Claw from Charizard follows, slamming Greninja across the battlefield and causing Ash to cringe again. As Greninja gets back to its feet, Ash admits that he's also enjoying battling a strong opponent like Alain, but also vowing the battle is going to end now. After promising that no matter who wins, there'll be no hard feelings, Ash commands a Cut from Greninja, getting a response from Alain in the form of a Dragon Claw. Both powered-up Pokémon clash furiously in the middle of the field for a few times, after which simultaneous attack commands are given by both Trainers: a Water Shuriken from Greninja, and a {{m|Thunder Punch}} from Charizard. Again, fierce attacks clash in the middle of the field for a few moments, until the Water Shuriken finally overpowers the Thunder Punch, and Greninja slams the shuriken straight into Charizard's chest, causing the Fire-type to be pushed back. Preparing for his ultimate move, Ash has Greninja use Water Shuriken, but this time, Ash-Greninja's watery aura wraps itself around the Water Shuriken, causing its size to increase dramatically and turning its color from blue to orange. Alain, momentarily taken aback by the sight, orders Charizard to use Blast Burn. Both moves are fired at the same time, and both Greninja and Charizard can only watch as their opponent's ultimate attack strikes them, creating a massive explosion on both sides of the field.

The entire crowd is looking at the field in anticipation, no one making a sound. As the smoke and steam clouds clear out, both Pokémon are still standing. For a few moments, both Greninja and Charizard look at each other, barely moving. Charizard stumbles, but just a second later, Greninja falls over, reverting back to its regular form. Ash-Greninja has been defeated, the battle is over, and Alain has won the Lumiose Conference.

Exhausted from the battle, Ash can't help but admire Alain's strength. At the stands, Ash's friends are downcast by his defeat, just when he had come so close to winning. Despite this, Sawyer and Clemont comment that Ash battled well, and Serena, seeing a smile on Ash's face, understands that Ash was nevertheless satisfied with the battle. Down at the battlefield, both Ash and Alain congratulate each other on a battle well fought, shaking hands as a sign of respect. Team Rocket, overwhelmed by the storm of emotions they're going through, decide to abandon their Pokémon capture plan, crying and bawling as Malva watches them. Mairin is glad that Alain won, and up at their personal stand, both [[Diantha]] and [[Professor Sycamore]] are clapping along with the crowd. Professor Sycamore wonders if this victory gave Alain the answer he was looking for.

Back inside, Ash apologizes his friends for not answering their expectations, but they still congartulate him on how well he and his Pokémon fought, Clemont even reminding him how stubborn opponent Alain's Charizard can be. Ash vows to keep on battling more Trainers to become even stronger. Alone in his own room, Alain thinks about how his battle with Ash made him grow even stronger, and how he's going to keep collecting Mega Evolution energy, being so close to the amount needed to save Mairin's {{p|Chespin}}.

Inside the [[Team Flare]]-occupied [[Lumiose Gym]], [[Xerosic]] declares that the preparations are complete, having the {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s to start the operation. Aiming their {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Cell}}-powered weapon at {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Z2}}, a bright red beam is launched at the imprisoned Zygarde Core. At the same time, back at the [[Kalos League]] stadium, Diantha hands Alain the championship trophy, congratulating him on his training skills as the crowd, including Ash's friends, applaud for him. Ash, standing next to Alain, congratulates him as well. In the VIP box, Mairin is applauding to Alain too, being glad on his victory. As she turns around to talk to [[Lysandre]], she's surprised to see that he's gone.

Back at the Gym, Z2 is falling under the influence of Team Flare's weapon, which is also sensed by [[Squishy]]. Xerosic presents the results of his research to Lysandre, who, entering the room, commands the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to unleash its power for him. Having fallen under Team Flare's control, Z2 declares to wipe the world clean of foolish people, bursting out of its container and the through the side of the Gym, floating to the top of the Prism Tower. Lysandre and Xerosic enter the summit of the tower as well, witnessing how Z2 begins summoning its Cells all across the city around it. A pulse of energy runs through the Prism Tower, and suddenly, enormous vines starting bursting out of its sides and the street below it, causing the crowd to run and scream in panic. From their rooftop, Meyer and Clembot stare eyes wide open at the ensuing chaos. From the summit of the Prism Tower, the Team Flare Boss declares that the world will now be reborn into a new, beautiful world. Moments later, the massive vines also reach the League stadium, taking everyone by surprise and causing instant panic. Squishy, sensing that its fellow Core is in trouble, hops out of {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag and flees, with Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena in pursuit. As the vines continue to spread around Lumiose City, a bright red Zygarde lets out a vicious roar from the top of the vine-covered Prism Tower.

Talk:Ash's Lapras

2016-08-15T04:10:05Z

DarthNightmaricus: /* Released? */

== New picture ==

Just a thought: A picture of Ash, Misty and Tracey riding on Lapras may be more beneficial than the current picture if anyone has one. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 21:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
:Any image might be more beneficial, just given how small Lapras is in this one... and actually, though the Spurt! has some good images, I'd say they could all be replaced with better ones - images from the series itself that give a good view of the whole Pokémon and which don't have text from credits or lyrics on them. The Spurt! ones will do until someone can get better ones, though. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 21:56, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

== Umm... Guys... about lapras... ==

Ok, I just wanted to ask something. I don't really understand how Lapras belongs to [[Ash_Ketchum|Ash]], really. I mean, sure, Ash caught it in a [[poké ball]], but does that REALLY mean anything? I mean, [[Brock]] caught [[Brock's_Vulpix|Vulpix]] in a poké ball in it's debut appearance, and the last time I checked, even he didn't consider it HIS Pokémon.

Plus, when it comes down to the controversy of whether [[Ash's_Larvitar|Larvitar]] is Ash's pokémon or not, they said that it isn't Ash's pokémon since he was trying to return it to his mother. But, Ash did the very same thing with Lapras as well (he promised Lapras to return it to his family in it's [[EP084|debut episode)]], so, if the whole "delivering it back to it's family" rationale is used to count Larvitar out of Ash's roster, then why is Lapras listed as Ash's pokemon despite that?

It really confuses me as to how it seems to be this way. So, should we move it to the Befriended section or not?

~~Weedle_McHairybug~~

:No. Ash owned Lapras, simple as that. Even if Brock never considered Vulpix his, it still was because he owned it for a significant amount of time, he caught it in a Poké Ball, and, most importantly, he used it in battle. Ash did the same with Lapras, and except for capturing it in a Poké Ball, he did the same to Larvitar. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 17:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

== lapras color. ==

ash's lapras's mother's (I think it was) was lighter in color than other lapras.could this be a proto type of gender difference?Darkmaster0 04:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

''Lapras is the second of Ash's Pokémon that was caught off-screen.'' Shouldn't you mention the first? I would, but I don't know what it is...[[User:Kpokefan|'''K''']][[User talk:Kpokefan|'''P''']][[User:Kpokefan/Missions|'''F''']] 06:42, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
: could the first have been Pikachu?--[[User:Dion24|D i]] [[User talk:Dion24|o n]] [[Special:Contributions/Dion24|2 4]] 09:31, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
:: No Pikachu was given to Ash. Tauros was the other, In [[EP035]] We see Ash catching three tauros not the other 27.--[[Charizard (Pokémon)|Force]] [[User:Force Fire|''Fire'']] [[User talk:Force Fire|''talk'']] 10:26, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Actually, it was Squirtle, since didn't see it go into the poke-ball. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 12:10, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

== Moves ==

Shouldn't {{m|Surf}} be added to the moves list? It was the main purpose for Ash capturing Lapras in the anime. -- [[User:RikkiKitsune|R<s>ikki</s>]][[User talk:RikkiKitsune|Kitsune]] 14:44, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah, and besides which, Surf does equal swimming, seeing how the overworld usage of Surf is you riding on your pokemon while it's swimming, so it's ultimately no different. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 15:24, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

== Why isn't the Lapras age comparison image a gif? ==

Why upload it in a format that's not animated in all browsers? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 18:10, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

== Brock's knowledge ==

In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'' under the dub edits, it states that Brock knows about Lapras, despite the capture being caught in his absence? The reason I'm asking is because in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', it says that Tracey could've heard about {{AP|Charizard}} off-screen. So, is it possible that Ash or Misty told Brock about Lapras off-screen? [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATERWARRIOR67]] ([[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|talk]]) 16:34, 13 August 2014 (UTC)WATERWARRIOR67

== Least moves trivia ==

Considering that Ash now has a Noibat whose only move to date is Supersonic, should this trivia be removed, or at least hidden until Noibat learns more attacks? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 04:12, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
:Give it till the end of the series.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:11, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

== Released? ==

That's what this page is. It goes into the utmost detail about what seems like EVERY SINGLE FRIKKIN' TIME Staryu appears (now that I look at the history, it looks like our resident [[User:Starmie121|Starmie fan]] was responsible for the expansion). Is it really necessary to do this? I mean, if there's no reason NOT to, then by all means leave it. But considering how excruciatingly specific it is... I dunno. It's up to you guys whether or not to cut it down. Mostly I'm just sore because it took me forever to do all the cleanup for this. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 21:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

'''Misty's Staryu''' (Japanese: '''カスミのヒトデマン''' ''Kasumi's Hitodeman'') was one of the three original {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Kanto]] region in the {{pkmn|anime}}, and Misty also has a Staryu in most of the games she appears in.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Original series====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Misty Staryu Debut.png|left|thumb|200px|Staryu in its debut]]
Misty uses Staryu often as one of her main battling Pokémon throughout most of the series. It doesn't seem to have much of a personality due to its extremely un-anthropomorphic features, but Misty says she's able to recognize its emotions and feelings. It often shimmered when called into {{pkmn|battle}}s, and its core glowed pink accompanied by a siren like 'Bing' when tired or weakened.

Staryu was first used to defend [[Mt. Moon]] against an attack by {{TRT}}. Staryu was sent out against {{MTR}}, who was trying to abduct a {{p|Clefairy}}. Misty next used Staryu in her Gym battle against {{Ash}}. When Ash didn't recognize Staryu, he used his [[Pokédex]] on it; he later commented "Leave it to a girl to show off her jewelry!". Staryu demonstrated an Ability similar to {{a|Natural Cure}}, despite Abilities not having been introduced at the time, by diving into the water to negate {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}. It also seemed to be rather clumsy, as it missed {{TP|Ash|Butterfree}} and nearly slipped, almost falling into the water. Despite this Staryu was able to beat {{AP|Butterfree}} by tackling it into the water.

Staryu was also used for its strong swimming abilities, helping {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} escape the sunken [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]], and also later helped the team escape [[James's Gyarados]] along with {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. Misty also used Staryu, along with Starmie and Goldeen, to help save people from a sinking ship. It also tried to help the gang get to the [[North Pole]] along with Goldeen, Starmie and {{AP|Squirtle}}, however it, along with its fellow swimmers, tired out before they made it. It would again be called to help tow a raft to escape a crumbling island made up of {{p|Kabuto}} that were then reviving.

Misty also used Staryu during the [[Princess Festival|Queen of the Princess Festival contest]].

Misty auditioned Staryu for a part in a movie in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', however, as is often the case with Misty calling out Staryu, Psyduck came out instead. Staryu did get a part however, helping provide the rain effect for the final scene.

=====Orange Islands=====
Its media career also included dancing on stage in ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'' to help a traveling riverboat show that dubbed acting Pokémon with human voices back stage.

Staryu was often called into battle, even relied on when Misty had access to other Pokémon such as {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. Staryu's strength was called on in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', battling {{OBP|Marina|EP091}}'s {{p|Tentacruel}}. Upon entering battle, Marina commented it was an excellent looking Staryu, and Misty responded that Staryu was one of her favorite Pokémon and that she polished it daily. The pampering appeared to pay off as it was able to take down Tentacruel with one Swift attack. It was however defeated by Marina's powerful {{p|Psyduck}}.

[[File:Misty and Staryu.png|right|Misty and Staryu in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}|thumb|200px|left]]
In ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', a wild Poliwag seeks protection from James and Meowth by hiding behind Misty. Misty's Staryu defeats [[James's Weezing]] by using Tackle followed by Double-Edge, which not only cut through Weezing's {{m|Smog}} but also sent Weezing flying.

=====Johto=====
Staryu was also used to fight Ash a second time to win a {{AP|Totodile}}. It battled against his {{AP|Chikorita}}, showing high determination, digging in its heels against a Tackle and dodging through {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}. It was also able to strike a powerful Water Gun that jetted Chikorita several feet up and across the battle field. It was, however, beaten to the ground by a powerful Vine Whip. Misty later apologized to Staryu, saying she hoped she hadn't pushed it too hard and only did so because she had an immense amount of faith in the Pokémon, showing she had a very strong bond with Staryu and cared about it greatly.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'' Staryu was called up against [[Molly Hale]]. Being under water, Staryu showed to be even more capable than on land. It went up against {{p|Mantine}} and scored a couple of Tackles before looping round for another run. Before it was able to hit, Staryu was hit by Mantine's {{m|Whirlpool}}, although the attack, even combined with a direct hit from Bubble Beam, wasn't able to even affect it slightly. It then easily dissipated the Whirlpool with Rapid Spin and went on the offensive with several high speed Tackles, chasing Mantine through the water in dogged pursuit. The rest of the battle wasn't seen.

====Advanced Generation series====
=====Chronicles=====
Despite being one of the oldest Pokémon Misty owns, Staryu is still used, even in recent episodes. It was called on in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'' to defend the [[Cerulean Gym]] from a challenge by the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]]. Staryu battled very well, until the brother's {{p|Hitmonchan}} launched a sneak attack on it, knocking it out. Despite not being able to battle, Staryu won by default due to the Pokémon Brother's cheating by using that illegal sneak attack. He tried to justify himself but [[Nurse Joy]]'s ruling stood.

=====Kanto Battle Frontier=====
Staryu's last appearance to date was in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. Misty used it to battle [[Dr. Yung]]'s {{pkmn2|mirage}} {{p|Aggron}}. Staryu began with a direct hit with Bubble Beam, which failed to faze Aggron. It was then struck with a strong {{m|Sandstorm}} attack. Misty then ordered Water Gun to be used, this was countered with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, Staryu was then finished with a volley of {{m|Bullet Seed}}. This appearance happened after Misty had left the main cast and was leader of Cerulean Gym.

Misty used Staryu quite often in Kanto and during the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. However, after she captured her Poliwag, she started to use it less often. By the end of the Johto saga, Misty hardly ever used Staryu, preferring to use her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} and {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}.

==Personality and Characteristics==
Staryu dosen't seem to have much of a personality due to its extremely un-anthropomorphic features. Most of its personality is seen in battle, where it is shown to be very powerful, being Misty's top choice through most of the series. When it loses it occasionally gets upset about the loss until Misty comforts it. Staryu is shown to have a very strong bond with its Trainer due to how she can tell what its emotions and feelings are and how much trust they have with each other.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Misty's Staryu (nicknamed ヒトちゃん ''Hito-chan'' in the Japanese version) debuted in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', defending an injured Misty from her rampaging [[Gyara]]dos. It was on the brink of fainting when {{adv|Red}} intervened, buying Staryu enough time to {{m|recover}} and launch a joint attack with [[Saur|Red's Bulbasaur]] before Red captured the Atrocious Pokémon. It was used later to defend against [[Koga]]'s newly-evolved {{p|Rhydon}}; however, despite its type advantage, it lost to the stronger opponent.

Doesn't she have these Pokemon at the Gym? I added them at the bottom of Cerulean Gym accessible pokemon. --[[User:Aquabender|Aquabender]] 22:28, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
== Afraid of Bugs ==
From the article:
"The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of is Ash's Heracross"

However, she showed no fear of ash's butterfree and thought it was pretty, iirc. Should this be added in?

She may not have been afraid of Ash's Butterfree, but she was scared of it before it evolved. It's still the same "Person" so she was scared of it. Just not in that form.--[[user:Billyt506|Bill]][[Special:Contributions/Billyt506|t]][[User talk:Billyt506|506 22:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Didn't Misty befriend the recurrent Jigglypuff in its debut episode? Why isn't it listed in her befriended Pokémon? [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 06:58, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== Misty mermaid. ==

In article it says how Misty has been showed wearing "hair extensions" in "Misty Mermaid" and "Cerulean Blue".
Such thing has never been said or implied in those episodes and Misty has been showed having longer hair in some other episodes like "Princess vs Princess" too.

Maybe part about extensions should be edited out,because it is assumption not being known if that was her hair or not. --[[User:Pokemon fan 132|Pokemon fan 132]] 09:39, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

== Future appearances. ==

Does Kasumi really need a future appearances subpage? Takeshi, Haruka, Masato, and Hikari don't have one, and the stuff about Mayumi Iizuka and her High Touch appearance can easily go in the trivia page. {{unsigned|PowerfulStarmie}}

== Episode count: ==

In the Trivia Section on Misty's page, it shows an episode count of how many episodes each long term female companion has appeared. It says Misty has 280 episodes.. which is a bit inaccurate. In the Original, she appeared in 273 episodes, and added on the 5 episodes she got in the Advanced Generation, she got 278 episodes. Unless the flashbacks and side stories count to, but that would effect the other girls to:
With Flashbacks:
* Misty: 280
* Dawn: 201
* May: 198
* Iris: 141
With side stories:
* Misty: 281
* Dawn: 201
* May: 197
* Iris: 141
Both side stories and flashbacks:
* Misty: 283
* Dawn: 202
* May: 198
* Iris: 142
Without both Side stories and flashbacks:
*Misty: 273
* Dawn: 200
* May: 197
* Iris: 140
Please tell me how we handle the episode count. Sorry if you round it to the nearest, but considering the numbers used for both May and Iris, I don't think they are I know it does not effect the total much but i would prefer knowing how the count was handled, thanks - [[User:Waterninja12345|Waterninja12345]] ([[User talk:Waterninja12345|talk]]) 13:08, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

== Borrowed Golduck's gender ==

I know Misty borrowed a Golduck in the anime and this Golduck is male. However, when shown with a Golduck in Generations 2 and 4, Golduck is male in the first times that the player battles her. However, in Misty's Generation 5 appearance, Golduck is either male or female. Since Golduck is 50-50, is this anime-based or games based? [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATER]][[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|Warrior]]67 20:38, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:[[Misty]] is not the same as Misty (anime). This is solely for the character from the anime. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:50, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:: I know ''that''. However, I've watched the episode (quite a few times), and I '''don't''' recall the mention of a gender for said {{p|Golduck}}. [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATER]][[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|Warrior]]67 20:52, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Then why did you not mention that and instead talk about completely unrelated Golduck? [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:59, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

== Add? ==

I don't know where I'd add this, or if it's notable for that matter. In ''[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', Misty makes a cameo appearance. The cameo in itself is interesting because it's a flashback from (fibro fog; advanced apologies if I name the wrong movie) "Pokémon Heroes". So, is it notable, or not? Misty is one of my (many) favorite characters, and I was wondering if this can count as an appearance, albeit a cameo flashback. Let me know! [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATER]][[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|Warrior]]67 20:49, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

==Yawa surname==
I happened across http://www.answers.com/Q/Is_Misty's_last_name_really_Waterflower which has a person deny the question but instead propose that in the Japanese version of the anime series she is given the surname "Yawa" and that this is removed in the English dubs.

I'm attempting to trace when this idea earliest appeared on the net and if there might be any validity to the claim. Found https://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090622135949AAEdJzf which has someone named Mathis 2 years ago say she self-identifies as this in [[Spell of the Unown]], a film which debuted 8 July 2000.

Although I haven't listened to it, some wayback archives appear to support this idea being present at the time:
*[http://web.archive.org/web/20000124170502/http://members.tripod.com/Ash_Misty/faq.htm 24 January 2000]: no mention of Yawa
*[http://web.archive.org/web/20010803050513/http://members.tripod.com/Ash_Misty/faq.htm 3 August 2001]: "we at aaml have found out her last name in the Japanese version. It's Yawa. Her full name being Kasumi Yawa. Her full name was revealed in the 3rd Pokémon movie"

So while we can't call her "Misty Waterflower" or "Misty Yawa" (unless someone finds they did somehow carry it over into the 3rd film, I don't remember it) we could say the original name of her anime version is "Kasumi Yawa", right?

I'd prefer if we could narrow down the exact time in the film she says this though, so that those of us curious about verifying could go and check the raw audio to affirm she says this.

:Yahoo answers (or any question sites) aren't really the best source for anything. As for her last name being revealed in M03, someone has to check that, we're not going to add it in the article unless someone can prove that her last name was said in M03.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:47, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
::I just checked the Japanese version. After Molly asks who Misty is, Misty introduces herself by saying "Sekai no Bishoujo Yawa Kasumi" around 40:26. This roughly translates to her calling herself "The world's most beautiful girl, Yawa Kasumi!". --[[User:DarthNightmaricus|DarthNightmaricus]] ([[User talk:DarthNightmaricus|talk]]) 05:03, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
:::It's "世界の美少女名はカスミ". This is the same way she introduces herself in [[EP002]], about 16 minutes in (after Ash sends out a Rattata). I can't honestly say I hear that correctly in [[M03]], but it would beggar belief to suggest that it's not actually the same thing.

::::Oh, it's "mei-wa". I guess this bit of fanon originated from someone mishearing it. At least now we know where that claim originates...and can clearly call it false. --[[User:DarthNightmaricus|DarthNightmaricus]] ([[User talk:DarthNightmaricus|talk]]) 05:37, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi Yawa'') is an aspiring [[Type expert|Water Pokémon Master]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of {{Ash}}. She is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cerulean Gym]], handing out the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==History==
===[[Original series]]===
{{incomplete|section|expansion of history}}
[[File:Baby Misty.png|thumb|left|220px|Baby Misty]]
A stubborn tomboy, Misty is the youngest of [[The Sensational Sisters|four sisters]] who live in the [[Cerulean Gym]]. Fed up with her more glamorous older sisters, Misty left the Gym with the goal of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]]. She first met {{Ash}} when she "caught" him with her fishing line in a river between [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]]. She traveled around with Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{Tracey}} through the [[Kanto]] region, the [[Orange Archipelago]], and the [[Johto]] region.

Her purpose was ostensibly to get Ash to replace her [[bicycle]], which he had accidentally destroyed when they first met. However, Misty often seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. During her travels with Ash, she, aside from training to become the best Water Pokémon Trainer, also acted as his coach in many Pokémon battles. It was also her job to drag Brock away from women by his ear.

[[File:Misty Burnt Bike.png|thumb|220px|Misty carrying her burnt bike]]
Misty made her anime debut in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', fishing in a nearby river on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not a Water-type Pokémon, but {{Ash}} and his injured {{AP|Pikachu}}, who were being chased by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], the one in Viridian City, he borrowed her bike, saying that he would return it someday.

In [[EP002|the next episode]], Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She got distracted from her demands when [[Nurse Joy]] brought Pikachu out, sad to see Pikachu in such condition. Before anything else could be said, an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} burst through the ceiling, and {{TRT}} come through as well. After helping Nurse Joy and Ash wheel Pikachu into the back room, she told Ash to help defend the Pokémon Center with the Pokémon in stock. After a few failed tries, she decided to step in herself, and sent out her Goldeen to buy some time, though she quickly recalled it since it couldn't battle on land. Later in the episode, it was revealed by Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy that Misty had gone with Ash to the [[Viridian Forest]]. As the screen cuts to them, Misty lets out a scream, seeing a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, which happens to be a {{AP|Caterpie}}, revealing her fear of Bug Pokémon. She told Ash to do something about it, so he decided to throw a Poké Ball at it.

Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she narrowly lost to [[Trinity]].

After Ash competed in the [[Silver Conference]], however, her bicycle was repaired and returned to her by the Viridian City Nurse Joy. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash, especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and [[Violet]], called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend any significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

[[File:Brock Memories.png|thumb|left|220px|Misty in {{an|Brock}}'s memories in [[SS025]]]]

==={{series|Advanced Generation}} and {{pkmn|Chronicles}}===
Misty reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where she met up with Ash and Brock again, along with meeting May and Max for the first time. In ''A Togepi Mirage'', her Togepi evolved into a Togetic and helped defend the Togepi Paradise. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty. She made a cameo appearance in both ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', where she was shown watching Ash competing in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. She also made three more appearances in this series; from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', as well as ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. She later appeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''.

It was revealed in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'' that Misty feared {{p|Gyarados}}, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} from a {{m|Poison Sting}} assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now obedient Gyarados.

==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[File:Ash and friends OS.png|thumb|220px|Misty's appearance in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'']]
Misty never physically appeared in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, but was referenced to by her friends. Her {{TP|Misty|special lure}} appeared in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]'', and she appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the side story episode [[SS025]].

==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
Misty only appeared in flashbacks in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. She and Brock made an appearance in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' during Ash's flashbacks of his and {{AP|Charizard}}'s friendship. She reappeared in another flashback in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

==Character==
[[File:Mistys fear of bugs.png|thumb|left|220px|Misty showing her fear of Bug Pokémon]]

Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for how easily she can be angered or frustrated and how loud she can become in response. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and can switch between them quickly. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyper personality was reduced significantly by the end of the [[Original series]].

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in aim of becoming Water Pokémon Master, and there are many other things she loves to do, being very confident in her abilities in all aspects of life. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}} which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift.

The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand is the {{t|Bug}} type; she tends to freak out in most cases whenever she encounters a Bug-type Pokémon, which was first demonstrated when she refused to befriend [[Ash's Caterpie]]. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrots}} and {{wp|peppers}}. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]] and [[Ash's Heracross]], or ones that don't look like bugs, such as {{p|Pineco}}.

==Pokémon==
Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train {{type|Water}} Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences. Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As she is currently residing in the Cerulean Gym, all of her Pokémon are there and none are listed as "on hand."

She presumably also has access to any other Pokémon at the Gym, such as [[Dewgong (Cerulean Gym)|Dewgong]], [[Caserin and Luverin|Luverin]], {{DL|The Sensational Sisters|Unknown|Seaking, Goldeen, Shellder, and Seel}}, due to being the Gym Leader.

===In the Ash & Pikachu manga===
Misty is a main character in the [[Ash & Pikachu]] manga, based on the [[Pokémon anime]]. In this manga, Misty is often portrayed as being bad-tempered. She also talks about being ladylike often, and wishes that {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} would treat her with more respect as a lady.

She was revealed to have left the group in ''[[SP17|Let's Save Pikachu!!]]'' sometime before Ash went to Hoenn.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Misty EToP.png|thumb|200px|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} series based on the Pokémon anime.

She first appears in the chapter ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and tells {{Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later in the same chapter, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of [[The Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

[[File:Misty MPJ.png|thumb|200px|Misty in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Misty, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Misty and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
* Even though Misty is said to be 10 in the anime, she is said to be 12 in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].
* Misty is the only one of the main characters to have [[Misty's Staryu|a Pokémon]] along with its [[Misty's Starmie|evolved form]] on her team at the same time.
* Not counting temporary Pokémon, Misty is the only one of Ash's female traveling companions, who can own Pokémon, that has not caught a Pokémon that another main character has also caught or obtained.
* Misty is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to challenge a Gym (albeit an unofficial Gym), since she challenged and tied with [[Dorian|the unofficial Johto Water Gym Leader]] in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* She is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being Togepi.
* Misty is the only one of her sisters not named after a flower, the names of her sisters being Daisy, Violet, and Lily. However, she does have the name for {{wp|baby's breath}} in Japanese.
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in the anime where Ash's Pikachu shocks a main female character's bike or the character herself at the beginning of each series.
* Misty is the female traveling companion to have appeared in the most amount of episodes, with 280 - Dawn is second with 200, May is third with 197 and Iris is last with 141.
* Both Misty and [[Jessie]] were voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]] and then switched at to [[Michele Knotz]] when the 4Kids dub ended in 2006.
* Former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make guest appearances from time to time like she has in the past. He compared it to how {{an|May}} came back for the [[Wallace Cup]] in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, but said since [[Pokémon Contest]]s "aren't really her thing", it would be for something else like a battle.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Misty's parents abandoned her as well as her sisters due to the harsh regulations for Gym duties, thus forcing her and her sisters to run the Cerulean Gym until she left at 10 years old.

DarthNightmaricus: /* Yawa surname */

== Seaking and Shellder ==
Doesn't she have these Pokemon at the Gym? I added them at the bottom of Cerulean Gym accessible pokemon. --[[User:Aquabender|Aquabender]] 22:28, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
== Afraid of Bugs ==
From the article:
"The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of is Ash's Heracross"

However, she showed no fear of ash's butterfree and thought it was pretty, iirc. Should this be added in?

She may not have been afraid of Ash's Butterfree, but she was scared of it before it evolved. It's still the same "Person" so she was scared of it. Just not in that form.--[[user:Billyt506|Bill]][[Special:Contributions/Billyt506|t]][[User talk:Billyt506|506 22:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

If i recall, she also wasn't afraid of Arielle's Ledyba in The Wistle Stop. [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 20:49, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Why isn't there any information on the Adventures version of this character? -{{u|TBustah}}
:[[Misty#In_the_Pok.C3.A9mon_Adventures_manga]] —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

== Jigglypuff ==

Didn't Misty befriend the recurrent Jigglypuff in its debut episode? Why isn't it listed in her befriended Pokémon? [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 06:58, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
:I don't know what the heck Misty is doing with a "Befriended" section anyway. It was ruled that Max is the only one of the main characters that was allowed to have a befriended section. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 07:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== Gym Pokemon ==
why don't the pokemon from the gym get pictures in her pokemon section.--[[User:Solidadrox|Solidadrox]] 05:53, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

== Go, My Steady ==
In the Japanese version, as she throws her ball, she often shouts "{{tt|いくわよ,マイステディー!|Go, My Steady!}}". Is this notable enough for the Trivia section. If it is, is there any English dub equivalent? --[[User:Jda95|jda95]] 05:56, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

== Misty mermaid. ==

In article it says how Misty has been showed wearing "hair extensions" in "Misty Mermaid" and "Cerulean Blue".
Such thing has never been said or implied in those episodes and Misty has been showed having longer hair in some other episodes like "Princess vs Princess" too.

Maybe part about extensions should be edited out,because it is assumption not being known if that was her hair or not. --[[User:Pokemon fan 132|Pokemon fan 132]] 09:39, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

== Future appearances. ==

Does Kasumi really need a future appearances subpage? Takeshi, Haruka, Masato, and Hikari don't have one, and the stuff about Mayumi Iizuka and her High Touch appearance can easily go in the trivia page. {{unsigned|PowerfulStarmie}}

== Episode count: ==

In the Trivia Section on Misty's page, it shows an episode count of how many episodes each long term female companion has appeared. It says Misty has 280 episodes.. which is a bit inaccurate. In the Original, she appeared in 273 episodes, and added on the 5 episodes she got in the Advanced Generation, she got 278 episodes. Unless the flashbacks and side stories count to, but that would effect the other girls to:
With Flashbacks:
* Misty: 280
* Dawn: 201
* May: 198
* Iris: 141
With side stories:
* Misty: 281
* Dawn: 201
* May: 197
* Iris: 141
Both side stories and flashbacks:
* Misty: 283
* Dawn: 202
* May: 198
* Iris: 142
Without both Side stories and flashbacks:
*Misty: 273
* Dawn: 200
* May: 197
* Iris: 140
Please tell me how we handle the episode count. Sorry if you round it to the nearest, but considering the numbers used for both May and Iris, I don't think they are I know it does not effect the total much but i would prefer knowing how the count was handled, thanks - [[User:Waterninja12345|Waterninja12345]] ([[User talk:Waterninja12345|talk]]) 13:08, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

== Borrowed Golduck's gender ==

I know Misty borrowed a Golduck in the anime and this Golduck is male. However, when shown with a Golduck in Generations 2 and 4, Golduck is male in the first times that the player battles her. However, in Misty's Generation 5 appearance, Golduck is either male or female. Since Golduck is 50-50, is this anime-based or games based? [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATER]][[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|Warrior]]67 20:38, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:[[Misty]] is not the same as Misty (anime). This is solely for the character from the anime. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:50, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:: I know ''that''. However, I've watched the episode (quite a few times), and I '''don't''' recall the mention of a gender for said {{p|Golduck}}. [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATER]][[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|Warrior]]67 20:52, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Then why did you not mention that and instead talk about completely unrelated Golduck? [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:59, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

== Add? ==

I don't know where I'd add this, or if it's notable for that matter. In ''[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', Misty makes a cameo appearance. The cameo in itself is interesting because it's a flashback from (fibro fog; advanced apologies if I name the wrong movie) "Pokémon Heroes". So, is it notable, or not? Misty is one of my (many) favorite characters, and I was wondering if this can count as an appearance, albeit a cameo flashback. Let me know! [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATER]][[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|Warrior]]67 20:49, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

==Yawa surname==
I happened across http://www.answers.com/Q/Is_Misty's_last_name_really_Waterflower which has a person deny the question but instead propose that in the Japanese version of the anime series she is given the surname "Yawa" and that this is removed in the English dubs.

I'm attempting to trace when this idea earliest appeared on the net and if there might be any validity to the claim. Found https://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090622135949AAEdJzf which has someone named Mathis 2 years ago say she self-identifies as this in [[Spell of the Unown]], a film which debuted 8 July 2000.

Although I haven't listened to it, some wayback archives appear to support this idea being present at the time:
*[http://web.archive.org/web/20000124170502/http://members.tripod.com/Ash_Misty/faq.htm 24 January 2000]: no mention of Yawa
*[http://web.archive.org/web/20010803050513/http://members.tripod.com/Ash_Misty/faq.htm 3 August 2001]: "we at aaml have found out her last name in the Japanese version. It's Yawa. Her full name being Kasumi Yawa. Her full name was revealed in the 3rd Pokémon movie"

So while we can't call her "Misty Waterflower" or "Misty Yawa" (unless someone finds they did somehow carry it over into the 3rd film, I don't remember it) we could say the original name of her anime version is "Kasumi Yawa", right?

I'd prefer if we could narrow down the exact time in the film she says this though, so that those of us curious about verifying could go and check the raw audio to affirm she says this.

Does anyone know if any subtitles reflect this at some point? Perhaps someone with the file could share a six second clip of it on Vine.co if it exists? [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]] ([[User talk:Tyciol|talk]]) 08:14, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
:Yahoo answers (or any question sites) aren't really the best source for anything. As for her last name being revealed in M03, someone has to check that, we're not going to add it in the article unless someone can prove that her last name was said in M03.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:47, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
::I just checked the Japanese version. After Molly asks who Misty is, Misty introduces herself by saying "Sekai no Bishoujo Yawa Kasumi" around 40:26. This roughly translates to her calling herself "The world's most beautiful girl, Yawa Kasumi!". --[[User:DarthNightmaricus|DarthNightmaricus]] ([[User talk:DarthNightmaricus|talk]]) 05:03, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

== Nickname and Species ==

Misty is the only main character to give nicknames not to one, but to two of her pokemon, besides, she is the only main character to have two pokemon of the same species.-- Posted by Robin Maximo~~

'''Professor Samuel Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド•ユキナリ博士''' ''Dr. Yukinari Okido'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] and a major supporting character of the [[Pokémon anime]] who lives and works at his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|research lab]] in [[Pallet Town]]. He appears semi-regularly to give [[Ash Ketchum]] advice to help him achieve his goal of becoming the greatest [[Pokémon Master]].

==History==
===In the [[original series]]===
Professor Oak made his debut in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', appearing on a late night television show explaining the three [[starter Pokémon]] that Pokémon Trainers would receive. The next day, three Trainers from Pallet Town, including his grandson, [[Gary Oak]], came to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]], ready to become [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. Oak gave them each a Starter Pokémon, including giving Gary his {{TP|Gary|Squirtle|Blastoise}}, though this wasn't revealed until much later in the series. Later that same day, Ash came to him as he was also starting his Pokémon journey and needed his first Pokémon as well. But because he was so late, the only Pokémon Oak had left was a rebellious {{AP|Pikachu}}.

He appeared again in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'' where he called the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]] after hearing that Ash had already made it there from [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]]. He stated how he was surprised that he had made it that far, and expressed doubts he had when Ash first left. Mentioning making a bet of a million dollars with Gary that Ash hadn't captured any new Pokémon, he was disappointed to hear that this was indeed true and he had lost the bet with his grandson. When Ash told him that he had seen an unknown Pokémon, which resembled the {{p|Articuno|stone carving above him}}, he waved it away as nonsense, saying that Trainers have searched their whole lives for that Pokémon, and none have succeeded.

Over the course of Ash and Gary's journeys, Professor Oak took care of the Pokémon they captured that were sent to his lab. He would often gloat about how much farther ahead his grandson was to Ash, which often caused him to be extra competitive. During the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], Oak became greatly disappointed when he discovered that Gary had lost in the third round, but decided to look on the bright side, telling Misty and Brock that it would do Gary good to learn that "every road, no matter how smooth, has its bumps along the way". He had arrived with Ash's mother with the goal of cheering Ash on in mind.

After the end of the Indigo Plateau Conference, Professor Oak asked Ash to pick up a [[GS Ball|mysterious Poké Ball]] from his friend, [[Professor Ivy]], who lived on [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]]. He wasn't at all surprised when Ash called him asking if he could compete in the [[Orange League]]. Though he wanted to study the GS Ball, he also wanted Ash to compete in the league so that he can get more training. During Ash's adventures in the Orange Islands, he befriended a [[Pokémon watcher]] by the name of [[Tracey Sketchit]] who was a great admirer of Professor Oak. When they arrived back in Pallet Town, Tracey asked if he could become his assistant which he graciously accepted.

Not being able to discover the mystery behind the GS Ball, Professor Oak called for Ash's assistance once more and asked him to travel to the [[Johto]] region and give the Ball to his friend [[Kurt]]. He also explained that there were many new Pokémon out west which made Ash all the more eager to go and catch up with his rival, Gary.

Professor Oak traveled to Johto on a couple of occasions for conferences.

===In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}===
Professor Oak made a few appearances during the Advanced Generation as well and was in a few episodes of the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]'s [[List of side story episodes#Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station|side story episodes]].

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School]]'', he was lecturing the students of {{ci|Rustboro}}'s [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] via satellite. Oak traveled to [[Hoenn]] in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'' to meet with his friend, [[Professor Birch]] and brought along the [[starter Pokémon#Kanto|Kanto starters]] as they interacted with the [[starter Pokémon#Hoenn|Hoenn starters]].
[[File:Professor Oak DP anime.png|251px|thumb|Professor Oak in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and The Right Mime]]'', Professor Oak noticed that one of his {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}} felt most comfortable being with {{an|May}}. That was when he suggested that May keep the Squirtle and raise it into a strong Pokémon. He also said he would watch after her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur|Venusaur}}.

While Ash was trying to earn his final [[Brave|Frontier Symbol]] from {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, Professor Oak visited him and told him about Gary's research in the [[Sinnoh]] region. He recommend that he should travel there after earning his final symbol so that he can learn about the Pokémon that lived out there.

===In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
{{incomplete|section|More detailed information}}
Ash spoke to Professor Oak frequently over the phone while he traveled through the Sinnoh region. {{an|Dawn}} was able to recognize him from television, but it was because of his Pokémon poetry and not his research. He traveled to Sinnoh in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'' to give a lecture in [[Twinleaf Town]].

===In the {{series|Best Wishes}}===
[[File:Professor Oak BW anime.png|251px|thumb|Professor Oak in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
Professor Oak was given a major redesign in the ''Best Wishes'' series, using a different shirt collar style and wearing his labcoat above it. His hairstyle also changed, becoming more boxy. These changes make his look closely resemble his most recent [[Professor Oak|game counterpart]] artwork.

Oak made plans to travel to the [[Unova]] region to meet with his friend, [[Professor Juniper]], in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and invited {{Delia}} and {{Ash}} to go with him. He has since returned to Kanto as seen in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'' where Ash calls his laboratory from [[Nimbasa City]].

In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Ash called Professor Oak to inform about his loss at the [[Vertress Conference]]. In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', the Professor appeared again in a video lecture about the Kanto starter Pokémon that was presented at the [[Kanto Fair]], accompanied by [[Tracey]]. Later, [[Ash's Charizard]] came to his lab from the [[Charicific Valley]] so Ash would switch him for [[Ash's Unfezant|his Unfezant]]. Oak liked the idea of Unfezant being with him, as she could make good friends with Ash's [[Ash's Noctowl|Noctowl]] and [[Ash's Staraptor|Staraptor]].

In ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]'', he appeared in the [[Decolore Islands]], having traveled to [[Torom Island]]. Professor Oak wished to capture a {{p|Rotom}} to study, and eventually succeeded after helping Ash and {{ashfr}} defeat {{TRT}}.

As seen in ''[[BW130|Butterfree and Me!]]'', Professor Juniper sent Ash's Pokémon caught in Unova to Oak's laboratory.

In ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' Professor Oak was interviewed by [[Alexa]], a reporter from the [[Kalos]] region which gave him a chance to see Pokémon from there much to his delight. He was later present when Ash announced his intention to return with Alexa to Kalos to challenge its league. As usual, Professor Oak was entrusted with the care of the Pokémon Ash had caught in Unova, as well as Charizard who would be remaining at the lab permanently from then on.

===In the {{series|XY}}===
Professor Oak appeared briefly in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', where he was introduced to {{AP|Froakie}} before being shocked by Rotom. He was later mentioned in ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', where it was revealed that Ash and {{an|Serena}} both attended his Pokémon Summer Camp during their childhood.

==Character==
Professor Oak lives up the road from [[Delia Ketchum]] and {{Ash|her son}}, and he and Delia often appear together as they are good friends. His only known relative is his grandson, [[Gary Oak]].

His often-forgetful attitude and other antics are also notorious. He also has a hobby of composing [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture|senryū]], haiku-like poems about Pokémon or Pokémon-related themes.

In the novelizations written by [[Takeshi Shudō]], Professor Oak comes from a prestigious family. He has two brothers, one of whom is the mayor of Pallet Town while the other is its postmaster, and his grandfather was the first Trainer from Pallet Town to receive widespread recognition, while Samuel himself gained prominence after he published a research paper on Pokémon at the age of 20. It is also stated that he became a professor at [[Celadon University]] at the age of 25. According to Professor Elm, Professor Oak's studies and research mostly focus on how humans and Pokémon interact with each other.

[[File:Sammy Oak.png|250px|thumb|Sam]]
{{main|Sam}}
He appears as a young boy, '''Sam''' (Japanese: '''ユキナリ''' ''Yukinari'') in the fourth [[Pokémon movie|film]], ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. [[Ash Ketchum]] befriends the young Oak, who, because he time-traveled from 40 years in the past, is around the same age as Ash. The revelation that Sam ''is'' Oak, while inferable thanks to disclosure of Oak's first name in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', comes only at the end of the movie when Oak implicitly confirms the connection through his knowledge of Sam's name despite Ash having never told him of it. Additionally, Tracey finds the sketchbook in which young Sam drew Pikachu sleeping with Celebi in Oak's closet.

Despite the fact that Sam sees many Generation II Pokémon throughout the movie (notably the legendary Pokémon {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}), the Pokédex he gifts Ash in the Kanto arc only catalogs Generation I Pokémon, claiming that they are all the Pokémon that the world knows. This discrepancy is likely no longer canon, instead representing a silent {{wp|retcon}} that occurred due to the ever-increasing number of Pokémon; indeed, Pokémon from [[Generation II]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation IV]] are able to be trained in Kanto during the Generation I remakes FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as during the Generation II remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver. Perhaps to avoid a similar plothole, the number of Pokémon as of the current generation is no longer explicitly mentioned in anime-related media.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Professor Oak EToP.png|thumb|200px|Professor Oak in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Professor Oak makes a few appearances in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. He is a role model to {{Ash}} and is [[Bill]]'s mentor. Unlike in the anime, he does not give Ash his {{AP|Pikachu}}; in fact, he does not meet Ash until after he has already begun his Pokémon journey.

Ash meets Professor Oak for the first time in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]''. They meet at [[Mt. Moon]] after Ash has been wandering lost in the mountains for weeks, searching for a rare {{p|Clefairy}}. Oak, who has been living among the Clefairy, rescues Ash and introduces him to Bill and a tribe of wild Clefairy. The three attend the tribe's [[evolution]] ceremony, after which Oak gives Ash the latest upgrade to the Pokédex for free, months before it will be available to the public.

Ash later encounters Oak again in ''[[ET10|Clefairy in Space]]'', where he is investigating strange activity, which turned out to be caused by another group of Clefairy.

Ash encounters Oak one last time at the Pokémon Research Center in ''[[ET14|The Orange Islands]]'', shortly before he travels to the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Here, the Professor and Bill are researching a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Slowpoke}} that was found in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

In this canon, Oak first began his Pokémon journey when he was six years old, in which he traveled with his father (who was also a Professor) on research expeditions. During his first journey, he caught a {{p|Charmander}} which eventually evolved into a {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a {{p|Charizard}}.

== Editing pages ==

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I'm not quite as active here as I used to be. As for your question, here on Bulbapedia, userpages (i.e. all pages in the "User" namespace) can only be edited by users who have been '''autoconfirmed''', which is automatically added to a user's account after a predetermined number of mainspace edits and account age. The actual requirements are decided by staff and not told to users. There are also a few articles here and there that are protected so only these autoconfirmed users can edit them. With a few more edits to articles that are open to anyone to edit you should be able to create your userpage.

'''Mew''' (Japanese: '''ミュウ''' Mew) is a [[Mythical Pokémon]] who had a starring role in the first [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

==History==
Mew made a cameo appearance at the start of the movie, and did not take a major role until later. A {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} was [[Cloning|cloned]] from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing his [[starter Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island.
[[File:Mew traveling.png|Mew traveling|thumb|left|250px]]
When Mewtwo's other new clones were born, Mew came with them, but disappeared momentarily. When Mew reappeared shortly later, he tried to reason with Mewtwo, which led to a {{pkmn|battle}} between the two. {{Ash}} stopped their battle by throwing himself in the middle of their attacks, which turned him to stone. After Ash was revived by {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} tears, Mewtwo flew away with its clones and Mew went with them. At the end of the movie, Ash briefly saw Mew in the sky, though {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} didn't see anything. After the credits are over, a brief scene plays showing Mew flying towards the mountains.

Mew makes a brief appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring, but this was just his imagination.

==Personality and characteristics==
Mew has a very playful and curious nature, and he prefers having fun over fighting. He didn't even seem to understand that Mewtwo was wanting to fight him until one Mewtwo's attacks actually hit him. When battling, however, Mew was shown taking the fight very seriously as well. After the battle, Mew quickly took back his serious side and resumed his playful personality, proving the fact that he had been fighting only because he had to defend himself. In at least the Japanese version, Mew also wanted to defend original, uncloned Pokémon, believing them to be just as good, if not better, than the clones.

==Moves used==

List of Pokémon with form differences

2015-02-08T20:57:08Z

DarthNightmaricus: Added Dialga.

[[File:Cherrim Sunshine Form anime.png|thumb|{{p|Cherrim}} changing between forms in the anime]]
Pokémon with official major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals are known as '''alternate forms'''. These variations all have differing sprites in the games and are recognized by the "forms" section of the [[Pokédex]].

Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]]; however, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}} and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not registered in the Pokédex prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. From Generation II to IV, whichever sprite is seen first will be the one displayed in the Pokédex by default; e.g., if West Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will. In Generation V, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed upon reaching [[Mistralton City]], even to a {{Shiny}} sprite, if it has been encountered. In Generation VI, the sprite can be changed as long as the player has owned the Pokémon.

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the difference in the Pokémon's stats from another; however, several Pokémon differ in stats (other than HP), [[type]], and [[Ability]] depending on their form. Among these are several [[Legendary Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will and are usually spelled as '''Formes''' (Japanese: '''フォルム''' ''form'').

==Pokémon with multiple forms==
===Pikachu===
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
Cosplay Pikachu is a unique female Pikachu who has a black heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This unique Pikachu is able to be dressed up into five different costumes corresponding to each kind of {{pkmn|Contest}} category ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}) and learn an exclusive move associated with that Contest category. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime. It will lose the move it had with the last costume (if it still knows it), and gain the move from the new costume. Unlike other Pikachu, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]].

If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} (the only games it appears in), after the player takes part in their first [[Pokémon Contest]], a Breeder will give the player Cosplay Pikachu. Unlike regular Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon_Bank|Pokémon Bank]], however they can be traded between copies of [[Pokémon_Omega_Ruby_and_Alpha_Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

===Pichu===
{{main|Spiky-eared Pichu}}
Spiky-eared Pichu is a unique female Pichu who has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. Spiky-eared Pichu's [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats are different than a normal Pichu's. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or be [[trade]]d, and she cannot be [[Poké Transfer|transferred]] to the [[Generation V]] games.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (the only games it appears in), if the player takes a {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} to the [[Ilex Forest]], Spiky-eared Pichu will join the player.

| Spiky-eared [[File:Notchie-art.png|96px]] {{typecolor|Electric}}
|}

===Unown===
{{p|Unown}} has many forms, each corresponding to a typographical character. It was the first Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From its debut in [[Generation II]], there are 26 forms of Unown, each corresponding to each of the twenty-six letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. Starting in the [[Generation III]] games, Unown has two additional forms, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation mark}}.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is a special [[Unown Dex]], an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the [[Ruins of Alph]] to record the different forms of Unown, which is available after the player had caught several Unown. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is the [[Unown Report]], which is obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

In the Generation II games, Unown's form is determined by its {{IV}}s, which results in some strange phenomena; for example, in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be {{Shiny}} due to Shiniess also being determined by IVs in these games. In the [[Generation III]] games, Unown's form is determined by its [[personality value]]. From the Generation IV games onward, an independent value determines the Pokémon form.

Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], ! and ? Unown have different [[performance]] stats to alphabetical Unown.

|}

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}} has four different forms, which its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}} causes it to change between in different [[weather conditions]]. It is the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms in battle in the games.

Normally, Castform is {{type|Normal}} and has a plain appearance with a gray body. It takes on this form in clear weather, in any weather without a specific form, and if the weather has its effects negated by {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.

In [[intense sunlight]], Forecast changes Castform to its Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}} and resembles the sun. In [[rain]], Forecast changes Castform to its Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}} and resembles a raindrop. In {{weather|hail}}, Forecast changes Castform to its Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}} and resembles a snowy cloud. Castform reverts to its normal form when [[Recall|withdrawn]] from battle.

In Generation III and IV, if Castform's Ability {{a|Forecast}} is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). In Generation V onward, if Castform's Ability {{a|Forecast}} is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its normal form (regardless of the weather).

Castform's [[stats]] do not change between any of these forms.

|}

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}} has four different forms which it can switch between. It was the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and [[move]] compatibility differed depending on its form.

In the [[Generation III]] games, Deoxys's forms are game-specific, such that it will always be in one particular form while in the player's possession (although it will be in Normal Forme in the wild).
*In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, it will be in Normal Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, it will be in Attack Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, it will be in Defense Forme.
*In {{game|Emerald}}, it will be in Speed Forme.

From Generation IV onward, the player can switch between its forms using meteorites found in the game.
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, using meteorites outside in [[Veilstone City]].
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, using meteorites outside on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.
*In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}} in [[Nacrene City]].
*In {{g|X and Y}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Fossil Lab}} in [[Ambrette Town]].
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, using the meteorite in [[Professor Cozmo]]'s house in [[Fallarbor Town]].

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes, as well as the form it appears in in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. In this form, its stats are more balanced, though it is notably far more offensive than it is defensive.

Deoxys's Attack Forme has higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} than its other forms (being the non-Mega Evolved Pokémon with the highest Attack and Special Attack) and learns more offensive moves. Its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are abysmal, much lower than its Normal Form. Its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its Normal Forme. This is the form Deoxys appears in in the player's possession in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}

Deoxys's Defense Forme has much higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than its other forms and learns more defensive moves. Its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are much lower than its Normal Forme, and its {{stat|Speed}} is also significantly lower than its Normal Form.

Deoxys's Speed Forme has much higher {{stat|Speed}} than its other forms (being the Pokémon with the highest Speed) and learns many increased [[priority]] moves.

Deoxys has the same {{stat|HP}} stat in all of its forms.

===Burmy and Wormadam===
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms. Burmy can change form freely, changing its cloak depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle (so {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} alone will not change its form). Wormadam cannot change form; when a Burmy evolves into Wormadam, it retains its cloak.

Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic; conversely, different cloaks of Wormadam have different [[type]]s, stats and learnsets. Bred Burmy will have the same cloak as the mother, will be in the same cloak as a Burmy or Wormadam bred with Ditto, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a {{p|Ditto}}.

If a Burmy last battled in a grassy area or water, it changes into its Plant Cloak. If female, Plant Cloak Burmy will evolve into Plant Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of leaves and twigs.

If a Burmy last battled in a sandy or rocky area, it changes into its Sandy Cloak. If female, Sandy Cloak Burmy will evolve into Sandy Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of sand and rocks.

If a Burmy last battled in a building or urban area, it changes into its Trash Cloak. If female, Trash Cloak Burmy will evolve into Trash Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}

===Cherrim===
{{p|Cherrim}} changes form depending on the [[Weather conditions|weather]]. During [[intense sunlight]], it changes into Sunshine Form; otherwise, it is in its Overcast Form. Due to its Ability {{a|Flower Gift}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} will also increase in its Sunshine Form.

In Generation IV, Cherrim changes form independently of its Ability. Starting in Generation V, it is Cherrim's Ability that changes its form.

In Japanese, the names of Cherrim's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise only used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.

===Shellos and Gastrodon===
{{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} differ in appearance depending on where it was caught. This is purely a cosmetic change, and these Pokémon cannot change between forms.

In [[Sinnoh]], West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered west of [[Mt. Coronet]], and are pink in color; East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered east of Mt. Coronet, and blue in color. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Shellos are the same form as their mother, or as the same form as the Shellos or Gastrodon parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Rotom===
{{redirect|Heat|the Badge given by [[Flannery]]|Badge#Heat Badge|Badge → Heat Badge}}
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|Rotom and the appliances]]
{{p|Rotom}} has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its normal form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

*Normal Rotom, which has not possessed an appliance, is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}
*Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}} and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}
*Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}} and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}
*Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}} and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}
*Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}} and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}
*Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}} and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from Generation V onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same base stat total, which is higher than that of normal Rotom; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

In Pokémon Platinum, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{key|IV|Secret Key}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]]. In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the Sycamore Pokémon Lab in [[Lumiose City]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]]. Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to normal form.

If Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form. When Rotom changes between forms, it forgets the move tied to its prior form if it was an appliance form. If Rotom changes back to its normal form while the only move it knows is the move tied to its appliance form, Rotom learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Rotom are always in normal form.

In [[Generation IV]], Rotom changes back to its normal form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the {{pkmn|Day Care}}.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

===Dialga===
{{p|Dialga}} has an alternate form in the Mystery Dungeon series. It loses its control over time and becomes [[Primal Dialga]]. This is the only canon in which Primal Dialga appears, however.

===Giratina===
{{p|Giratina}} has two forms it can change between.

In the [[Pokémon world]], it is normally in its Altered Forme, which is a winged hexapod; in the [[Distortion World]] or while holding a {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}}, it is in its Origin Forme, which is serpentine with six appendages. The Origin Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

The two forms have different stats and Abilities; the Origin Forme is more offense-oriented, while the Altered Forme is more defense-oriented.

===Shaymin===
{{p|Shaymin}} has two forms it can change between.

Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is {{type|Grass}} and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a [[Gracidea]], Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type and white in color; however, Shaymin cannot remain in Sky Forme at night, while {{status|frozen}}, or when deposited into the [[PC]]. The Sky Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

The two forms have different stats, {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].

===Arceus===
{{p|Arceus}} has eighteen different type form variations, which correspond to the eighteen different [[type]]s.

Arceus's type depends on its held [[Plate]], becoming the same type as the type that Plate enhances, remaining {{type|Normal}} when not holding a Plate.

While its base stats remain constant despite its changing type, its [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs. Additionally, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} only while holding the {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}.

In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is dummy data and a sprite programmed for a {{type|???}} {{p|Arceus}}, but it cannot be obtained as there is no ???-type Plate. This data no longer exists in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Arceus's alternate forms are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Basculin===
{{p|Basculin}} has two different forms, the Red-Striped Form and the Blue-Striped Form. The Red-Striped Form has a red stripe with wide eyes and spiky fins; the Blue-Striped Form has a blue stripe with squinted eyes and smooth fins.

*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2}}, Red-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Blue-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by {{m|surf}}ing on or [[fishing]] in [[Phenomenon|swirling water]].
*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|White 2}}, Blue-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by surfing on or fishing in swirling water.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Basculin are the same form as their mother, or as the same form as the Basculin parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild Red-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaTooth}} while wild Blue-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaScale}}.

In Pokémon Black and White, Blue-Striped Basculin have the same two standard possible Abilities as Red-Striped Basculin—{{a|Reckless}} and {{a|Adaptability}} (and is listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D]]); however, the Blue-Striped Basculin that can be obtained via in-game trade in White has the Ability {{a|Rock Head}}. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, wild Blue-Striped Basculin's two standard possible Abilities are {{a|Rock Head}} and {{a|Adaptability}}, while Red-Striped Basculin's stay the same (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]). However, Blue-Striped Basculin [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 have Reckless and Adaptability as their two standard Abilities. When a Blue-Striped Basculin with Reckless is transferred from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VI]], its Ability is changed to Rock Head.

|}

===Darmanitan===
If {{p|Darmanitan}} has {{a|Zen Mode}} as its Ability, it changes from Standard Mode into Zen Mode when its HP drops to below half in battle. It can only remain in Zen Mode in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color. Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color.

The two forms have different stats, such that Zen Mode Darmanitan swaps the Attack and Special Attack of Standard Mode, and has higher defenses but lower Speed.

===Deerling and Sawsbuck===
{{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} have four different interchangeable forms, each corresponding to a [[seasons|season]]. These forms are purely cosmetic.

In the [[Generation V]] games, if the player steps outside from a [[cave]] or building such that the season changes, any Deerling and Sawsbuck in their party will change form. All wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck will match the current season, with the exception of Trainers in the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] where these Pokémon are always in Spring Form.

In [[Generation VI]], all wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck appear in Spring Form. Because seasons have been abandoned as a mechanic, Deerling and Sawsbuck do not change appearance, and their Summer, Autumn, and Winter forms must be [[Poké Transporter|transferred]] from a [[Generation V]] game.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Deerling are the same form as their mother, or as the same form as the Deerling or Sawsbuck parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Deerling's different forms differ only in their coat.
*Spring Form Deerling have a pink coat
*Summer Form Deerling have a green coat
*Autumn Form Deerling have an orange coat
*Winter Form Deerling have a brown coat

Sawsbuck's different forms differ in significant ways, particularly their antlers.
*Spring Form Deerling have flowers in their antlers
*Summer Form Deerling have leaves in their antlers, a lack of fur at their neck and legs, a mane, and upright tail
*Autumn Form Deerling have wilting brown leaves in their antlers
*Winter Form Deerling have white antlers and sections of thicker white fur

===Forces of Nature{{anchor|Tornadus}}{{anchor|Thundurus}}{{anchor|Landorus}}===
The [[Forces of Nature]]—{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}—have two interchangeable forms each.

Normally, they are in their Incarnate Forme. When exposed to a [[Reveal Glass]], they change into their Therian Forme. Their Therian Formes were introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

The two forms have different stats, {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Even if they have their Hidden Ability, in Therian Forme each Pokémon only has one possible Ability.

In the [[Generation V]] games, they cannot be traded while in their Therian Forme.

|}

===Kyurem===
{{p|Kyurem}}, in addition to its normal form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[version mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which they were introduced in.

In the games, Kyurem changes its form through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. The combination retains Kyurem's Poké Ball and [[held item]]. This fusion is reversible, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]].

White Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Turboblaze}}, learns the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Ice Burn}}, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Reshiram's cries.

Black Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Teravolt}}, learns the moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}}, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.

===Keldeo===
{{p|Keldeo}} has two interchangeable forms: Ordinary Form and Resolute Form. These forms are mostly cosmetic. The Resolute Form was introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

If Keldeo is taught {{m|Secret Sword}} in Pokémon Black 2 or White 2 or a Generation VI game, it will change into Resolute Form. If it forgets Secret Sword, it returns to Ordinary Form. Keldeo taught Secret Sword in {{game|Black and White|s}} remain in Ordinary Form in other games.

This form was revealed in the June 2012 issue of [[CoroCoro|CoroCoro Comic]].

===Meloetta===
{{p|Meloetta}} has two interchangeable forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Aria Forme is {{2t|Normal|Psychic}}. Pirouette Forme is {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}.

Normally, it is in Aria Forme, which is the only form it can take outside of battle. If Meloetta uses the move {{m|Relic Song}} in battle, it changes between the two forms.

===Genesect===
In the games, {{p|Genesect}} changes forms when a [[Drive]] is attached to its back. These forms have no direct effect, although they do change the type of Genesect's [[signature move]] {{m|Techno Blast}}.

*If no Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Normal}} and Genesect will appear to have a dark yellow Drive.
*If a Shock Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Electric}} and Genesect will appear to have a light yellow Drive.
*If a Burn Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Fire}} and Genesect will appear to have a red Drive.
*If a Chill Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Ice}} and Genesect will appear to have an ice blue Drive.
*If a Douse Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Water}} and Genesect will appear to have a blue Drive.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Genesect's alternate appearances are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

{{p|Vivillon}} has 18 different distinct patterns depending on the set geographic location of its [[original Trainer]]'s [[Nintendo 3DS]]. This form cannot be changed. The pattern of Vivillon encountered within a game is set when the save file is created.

Bred {{p|Scatterbug}} will evolve into {{p|Vivillon}} with the same pattern as that of the breeding player's game, regardless of its parents.

The Poké Ball Pattern resembles a standard {{ball|Poké}}, and was first [[List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Paris Poké Ball Pattern Vivillon|distributed]] in Paris, France to promote the temporary {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} store. The Fancy Pattern was [[GTS Fancy Pattern Vivillon|distributed]] via the [[Nintendo Network]] from July 8 to 31, 2014 to celebrate the GTS's 100 millionth Pokémon trade.

===Flabébé, Floette, and Florges{{anchor|Flabébé}}{{anchor|Floette}}{{anchor|Florges}}===
{{p|Flabébé}} and {{p|Floette}} can hold five different-colored flowers based on the color of the flower bed they were caught in: red, yellow, orange, blue, and white. When Floette evolves into {{p|Florges}}, it maintains that color flower. The color of the flower cannot be changed.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Flabébé have the same color flower as their mother.

Since only Blue Flower, Red Flower, and Yellow Flower Floette can appear in the [[Friend Safari]], only these forms of Flabébé, Floette and Florges can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Symbiosis}}.

[[File:AZ's Floette.png|thumb|200px|AZ's unique Floette]]
In the storyline of {{pkmn|X and Y}}, there is also a unique Floette who [[AZ]] befriended in ages past. The flower it wields has a different design than normal; it also has a blue, red, and white color instead of green, yellow, and white, reflecting the colors of the French national flag.

===Furfrou===
{{p|Furfrou}} can be groomed into one of ten different trims. These trims will only last five days after the player has groomed the Pokémon, or until the player deposits it in the PC.

Furfrou can be groomed at {{DL|Lumiose City|Friseur Furfrou}} in [[Lumiose City]] or at the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Slateport City]]. At both locations, grooming costs {{PDollar}}500. At Friseur Furfrou, the player cannot initially select from all of the trims, with trims being unlocked gradually as the {{player}} becomes more stylish.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Furfrou's trims are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Aegislash===
{{p|Aegislash}}, due to its Ability {{a|Stance Change}}, can change forms in battle depending on the move it uses. Initially in Shield Forme, using a damaging move will change it to Blade Forme, while using {{m|King's Shield}} will change it back into Shield Forme. Outside of battle it is always in Shield Forme.

Shield Forme Aegislash has high {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, while Blade Forme Aegislash has high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}.

===Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist{{anchor|Pumpkaboo}}{{anchor|Gourgeist}}===
{{p|Pumpkaboo}} and {{p|Gourgeist}} can be of Small, Average, Large and Super Size. Larger sizes of Pumpkaboo are more rare to encounter in the wild.

Different sizes have different base stats. For Pumpkaboo, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 5 points. For Gourgeist, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 10 points and its base Attack stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 15 points. Consequently, the base stat total of a Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist does not vary with size.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or as the same form as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild Super Size Pumpkaboo will always hold a {{DL|Type-enhancing held item|Miracle Seed}}, whereas other sizes will never hold an item in the wild. Super Size variants have different, lower pitched cries than the other forms.

Only Average Size and Super Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Insomnia}}. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]]; Super Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability as the [[Spooky 2014 Super Size Pumpkaboo]].

===Xerneas===
{{p|Xerneas}} has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in battle, and appears in Neutral Mode in situations outside of battle, such as cutscenes, the Pokédex, the [[Party|Pokémon]] screen, and [[Pokémon-Amie]]. According to the Pokédex, Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.

Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, the protrusions on its horns also light up in several colors.

===Hoopa===
{{p|Hoopa}} has two forms it can change between using the [[Prison Bottle]].

Normally, Hoopa Confined is the form taken by Hoopa, which is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. When exposed to a [[Prison Bottle]], Hoopa transforms into Hoopa Unbound, which is {{2t|Psychic|Dark}}; however, Hoopa Unbound will change back into Hoopa Confined after three days or when deposited in the [[PC]]. The Prison Bottle can also be used to change Hoopa Unbound back to Hoopa Confined. Hoopa Unbound was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

The two forms have different stats, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences#Giratina|second forme]] activated by giving Giratina a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}} to hold. Its original forme, '''Altered Forme''', will then become '''Origin Forme'''.

Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.

In Origin Forme, Giratina is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, it is a member of the [[creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing {{wp|antimatter}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Giratina Dimension Transfer Power.png|250px|thumb|left|Giratina creating a portal to the [[Reverse World]] in the anime]]
Giratina is a large gray draconic Pokémon with gold half rings circling the back of its neck. A thick black stripe runs vertically along the front with red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with red tips that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if it's a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and clawed.

In its Origin Forme, it takes on a serpentine look, with six black ghostly streamers on its back with red spikes at the tips. Its legs are reduced to spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the three gold half-rings can grip objects. It can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the [[Reverse World]], or when holding a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}.

Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Reverse World. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal. It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of the Reverse World. Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon protective of its home. [[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that it supposedly lives in a world on the reverse side. It was said to be banished for violence. Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Shadow Force}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Giratina {{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme anime.png|thumb|left|250px|{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme Giratina in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{mov|Giratina}}====
{{mov|Giratina}} made its debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{mov|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to its home during its fight with {{mov|Palkia}} [[M10|some time before]]. [[Zero]] attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

Giratina makes a second appearance in the [[M12|twelfth movie]] alongside {{mov|Dialga}}, {{mov|Palkia}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

===Minor appearances===

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Ghost/Dragon-type Pokémon is a resident of the Distortion World. When it is given a Griseous Orb, it'll change into its Origin Forme. Its Dragon Breath attack can catch fighters in a powerful, damaging tornado. If you're on the receiving end, be careful it doesn't carry you right off the stage''

'''PAL''': ''Also called the Renegade Pokémon, Giratina lives in a dimension known as the Distortion World. It has two forms, and will only be seen in its Origin Forme in out world if it's holding a Griseous Orb. Its Dragon Breath attack creates a powerful tornado that not only damages you, but can carry you off the stage!''

** It is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex by {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}}.
** It is the only member with a catch rate of 3, and the only one without a 100% [[Recruitment|recruit rate]] in the [[Mystery Dungeon]] series.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
* Giratina has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
** Giratina has the highest HP base stat of all Legendary Pokémon, of all Dragon-type Pokémon, and is tied with {{p|Drifblim}} for the highest HP base stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* In Pokémon Platinum, Giratina is the only Pokémon to come out from above the screen during the start of the battle.
* In Pokémon Platinum, when battled in the Distortion World it does not have a shadow until it uses {{m|Shadow Force}} or breaks out of a [[Poké Ball]].
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that appears last in a regional Pokédex listing that is not an event-exclusive Pokémon.
* Giratina is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be obtained in all five of the Generation IV core series handheld games.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the second frame of Giratina's Altered Forme sprite was changed, but the static sprite remained the same.
** This sprite is also present in Pokémon Platinum's data, but is unused.
* In Pokémon Platinum, when encountered in the Distortion World the unique message "The Distortion World's Giratina appeared" is display. However, it is still a [[wild Pokémon]].
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2|}}, in the [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]], [[Fantina]] has an Origin Forme Giratina without a Griseous Orb.
* Altered Forme Giratina is the heaviest Ghost-type Pokémon and also the heaviest Dragon-type Pokémon.
** Origin Forme Giratina is the tallest {{Type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Giratina may be based on Seta, a giant centipede, from the Japanese fairytale, "{{wp|My Lord Bag of Rice}}", which was said to prey on dragon hatchlings and be as large as a mountain. Giratina is also possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}.

In its Altered Forme, Giratina's wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}.

Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger or {{wp|spider}} legs. This Forme also shares physical traits with the {{wp|Amphiptere}}, a {{wp|European dragon}}-like creature with wings but no legs.

In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did during Generation IV, they said that Giratina and the Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}.{{fact}} In HeartGold and SoulSilver, [[Cynthia]] also states this.

====Name origin====
Giratina may be a combination of ''{{wp|girasol}}'' (a type of red {{wp|opal}}), ''{{wp|guillotine}}'', or ''girare'' (Italian for ''to wander around''); and プラチナ ''purachina'' (Japanese for {{wp|platinum}}).

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

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

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

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, it is a member of the [[creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing space.

==Biology==
Palkia is a light purple {{wp|theropod}}-like Pokémon with stripes and markings of a darker shade and gray underarms and waist. It has round purple-striped plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted with a gray rim encircling them and fins in their back. Palkia’s arms have extended formations resembling gauntlets and a purple band around each wrist. Palkia has a long neck, a pointed white crest on the top of its head that extends to its wings, two strong horn-like tusks on the sides of its jaw, and a powerful tail. As seen in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia has the ability to warp space, though it was said to create alternate realities as well. Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study. However, Palkia has been seen in violent conflicts with its counterpart, {{p|Dialga}}. It has been known to be very protective of its home as well. Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Spacial Rend}}.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Palkia anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Palkia in the anime]]

===Minor appearances===
Palkia made its debut in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'' in a fantasy.

Palkia made a brief appearance in {{MTR}}'s fantasy in ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Palkia Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Palkia in Pokémon Adventures]]
Palkia, along with Dialga, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in order to create a new world. With the combined efforts of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}, the two Pokémon were stopped. The same Palkia would later appear in the {{chap|Platinum|Platinum}} and {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver|HeartGold & SoulSilver chapters}}

===In the Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga===
In the ''{{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}}'' manga adaptation, Palkia, along with the members of its trio, was summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Palkia soon engaged in a battle with the other members of its trio with {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}}.

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. It only appears on the stage when the ground on the upper levels have a purple tinge to them. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Spatial Pokémon. In the Sinnoh region, this Pokémon has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use {{m|Spacial Rend}} to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time. It is Pearl's mascot."''

===Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U===
Palkia appears as a Pokémon released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It will use Spacial Rend, which will flip the stage for a time, and can cause damage. Palkia also causes damage on contact.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Stories surround this Legendary Water/ Dragon-type Pokémon, saying that it has control over all of space. Its Spacial Rend attack will tear space and flip the screen upside down. When this happens, the left and right controls of the fighters will become flipped as well. ''

'''PAL''': ''Stories of this Legendary Pokémon say that Palkia is a god that controls all of space. When it uses its Spacial Rend attack in Super Smash Bros., it causes the screen to flip upside down. If that wasn't confusing enough, it also flips the left and right controls!''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Palkia accuses the player and its partner that they are the one responsible for the distortion of fabric of space. Later, Palkia confronts them and bring them to [[Spacial Rift]].
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Palkia appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Palkia was injured from a battle with Dialga and entered [[Hippowdon Temple]]. In its pain, it warped the space of the Almia region and caused all of the locations of Almia to be shuffled together.

==Trivia==
* The gems on Palkia's shoulders resemble Pale [[Sphere]]s.
* {{p|Dialga}}, Palkia and {{p|Giratina}} are the only legendary Pokémon to be met at a level that is not divisible by 5, Dialga appearing at level 47 in Diamond, Palkia appearing at level 47 in Pearl, and Giratina appearing at level 47 in the Distortion World encounter in Platinum.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* Palkia is in the highest [[IQ]] group. It takes this position in IQ group J and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], Palkia, along with [[Primal Dialga]], the [[legendary golems]], the {{p|Magnemite}} family, and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in all capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Palkia is the only member of the [[Creation trio]] that does not have an alternate form(e) in any continuity. Dialga has [[Primal Dialga|one]] in Mystery Dungeon, and Giratina has its Altered Forme.

===Origin===
Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} combined with a {{wp|pearl}}. Its appearance may also be derived from the ''{{wp|Plateosaurus}}'' or other bipedal dinosaurs such as the ''{{wp|Oviraptor}}''. Its head crest could be inspired by the ''{{wp|Goblin Shark}}'', especially from it being a water type.

====Name origin====
Palkia is derived from the Japanese spelling of pearl, パール ''pāru''.

Team Rocket trio

2015-01-28T19:23:56Z

DarthNightmaricus: /* In the games */ Added a note about them having their own theme in Yellow.

[[File:Team Rocket trio XY 2.png|thumb|150px|Official art of Jessie, Meowth and James from the {{series|XY}}]]
The '''Team Rocket trio''', sometimes referred to as '''TRio''' or '''JJM''', is a trio of members of [[Team Rocket]], consisting of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}.

==In the anime==
===Character===
Since making their debut in the [[EP002|second episode of the anime]], they have since appeared in almost every single episode up until the beginning of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, where they appeared less frequently. As such, they are the most prominent representation of Team Rocket as a whole in the anime.

In most of their appearances, they attempt to capture [[Ash's Pikachu]], or any other Pokémon to give to their boss, {{an|Giovanni}}. However, they almost always get defeated and are blasted off with their iconic catchphrase "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub) or "We're blasting off again!" ([[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] dub). Typically right after making a capture, they will recite their {{motto}}, though on some occasions they're unable to finish. This has been parodied by protagonists and even other Team Rocket members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]].

[[File:Blast off.png|thumb|250px|The Team Rocket trio blasting off again]]
Since their debut, the trio is near-singlemindedly obsessed with capturing Ash's Pikachu, particularly after witnessing his power, and have relentlessly pursued Ash and his friends across the various regions of the [[Pokémon world]] to do so; though they often succeed in doing so, they never manage to hold on to Pikachu for long. To this end, they frequently develop various kinds of shockproof gadgets and machinery to do so ({{TP|Team Rocket|mechas}}, rubber suits, etc.). However, these gadgets are often circumvented by non-Electric attacks and abilities, which they constantly forget to account for, or simply backfire in the end.

Even though they usually only cause trouble for the main characters, they have sometimes helped them, mostly when dealing with a common enemy, as shown in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and later against [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]. They also played a key part in the fight against [[Team Galactic]], teaming up with [[Looker]]. They occasionally put their differences aside for personal reasons, only to later return to their thieving ways. One of the more common moments of truce is during [[Pokémon Contest]]s, which Jessie had a fondness for participating in; however, Ash and his friends are unaware that it is her.

On several occasions, Jessie, James and Meowth have shown that they are not that bad and even have affection for Ash and his friends. The trio heroically sacrificed themselves to certain death in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' in order to allow Ash's escape on Lugia. They also saved him from a fall in the next movie, ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. Whilst their justification was that in the case of the world being destroyed or Ash's death, they'd be [[Breaking the fourth wall|out of show business]], it is implied that this is just bluster to cover the fact that they are not bad people, like in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]'', where Team Rocket kept [[Ash's Charizard]] awake as it lay in the lake, and then built a huge mecha and attacked the [[Charicific Valley]] for the sole purpose of allowing Charizard to defeat them and gain acceptance in the Valley, or ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', where they captured [[Moria]]'s [[Talonflame]] just so that it could gain respect for [[Ash's Fletchling]].

===History===
{{cleanup|section}}
{{incomplete|section|Role in Kanto through Sinnoh}}
[[File:Team Rocket party Original series.png‎|thumb|left|220px|Team Rocket with all of their Pokémon in the original series]]
The Team Rocket trio first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'' where they took over the Viridian Pokémon Center. After their first defeat at the hands of [[Ash's Pikachu]], the trio made it their goal to capture Ash's Pikachu.

Though their general incompetence in making any sort of contribution to Team Rocket didn't go well for them as Giovanni contemplated firing them in one episode (but reassigned them due to problematic developments and manpower shortages in Team Rocket) and was shown to not even remember who they were in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]''. However, due to their false reports that they alone caused [[Team Aqua]], [[Team Magma]], and [[Team Galactic]] to disband (as well as defeating [[J]]), [[Matori]] recommended them to Giovanni for his plans in the [[Unova]] region. The trio got promoted and soon they became more serious and less goofy, changing to their black uniforms from their original white uniforms. They focused less on capturing random Pokémon and more on the assignments that are given to them straight from headquarters. In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'' however, Matori informed them that they won't be needed for any more missions at the time. They began to worry that the boss had abandoned them. Before Matori contacted them about the situation, they have already returned to their white uniforms without being informed why. Therefore, they have returned to planning their own schemes like they did in the previous series, but often carry out their current plans in the same manner as their most recent missions and [[Dr. Zager]] frequently assists them in these schemes. They do keep some gadgets, such as jetpacks they occasionally use to retreat; they very rarely blasted off during the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and maintain their recent boost in athleticism.
[[File:Team Rocket BW 1.png|thumb|250px|The trio in their black uniforms]]
Meowth traveled with {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} from ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'' to ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'' after apparently messing up a mission in [[Nimbasa City]], being fired from Team Rocket and splitting up with Jessie and James. However, in ''Crisis from the Underground Up!'' it was revealed that Meowth was never fired from Team Rocket, his travels with Ash, Iris and Cilan being part of their latest scheme. Meowth then rejoined Jessie and James.

Beginning in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', they have made various attempts to capture {{an|Meloetta}}, only for it to disappear on each attempt. However, they managed to capture it in ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'' with the help of Giovanni and Dr. Zager after the former defeated Ash with his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}}. The trio capturing Meloetta was part of the plan in order for Giovanni to summon the Kami trio using the {{key|V|Reveal Glass}}. However, once Meloetta was freed from his control, Giovanni became possessed by the item's powers which made him want raging power. The Team Rocket trio temporarily switch sides in order to stop Giovanni. They did so by pushing him off a cliff, which managed to snap him out of the controlled rage. Losing Meloetta foiled their plans in capturing the Kami trio, along with interference by [[Ridley]], Ash and the others. With Giovanni back to normal, he along with the trio, Dr. Zager and the Rocket Grunts, leave Unova and return to Kanto.

They were revealed to have returned to Unova in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', with returning gags in their team. They also revealed that after the failure of their big scheme to take over Unova using the power of the [[legendary Pokémon]] had failed, they had gone back for their older style of chasing Pikachu and every other seemingly valuable Pokémon around. As a part of their return to the older style, they also started using their {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|original motto}} and an enhanced version of their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]] once again. However, they seemed to retain some intent of competence by still using their jetpacks on occasions and trying to accomplish their plans in a serious way, as seen when Jessie asked for Meowth to stop singing in ''[[BW113|The Light of Floccesy Ranch!]]''.

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'' and ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'' they were spying at [[Team Plasma]]'s operation at the [[White Ruins]], waiting for the right time to enter the scene. However, they only decided to do so after [[Looker]] found out where they were hiding in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'' and asked them for help. Even if they fought against Team Plasma independently of Looker's intended guidance, they still did it in order to help him (having formed a mutual alliance with him during the {{series|DP}}), along with defeating Team Plasma, since they had a rivalry with the organization.

From ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'' onwards, the trio returned completely to their previous role as comic relief, retaining only their upgraded technology from ''Best Wishes!''.

==In the games==
In {{game|Yellow}}, Jessie and James appear and are involved in Team Rocket's four major schemes ([[Mt. Moon]], [[Rocket Hideout]], [[Pokémon Tower]], and [[Silph Co.]]), and typically appear before the player battles [[Giovanni]]. They also replace the three Team Rocket members in the [[Pokémon Tower]] that hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage as well as two other {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s: one close to the exit of [[Mt. Moon]] and the other one near the entrance to the President's room at [[Silph Co.]] Curiously, they are never referred to by their individual names and share their Trainer class with all other Team Rocket Grunts.

They first attack the player in Mt. Moon, while trying to take one of the rare [[Fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]], attacking the {{ga|Red|player}} on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In addition, {{MTR}} cannot talk, and he resides in a [[Poké Ball]] instead of traveling around with Jessie and James.

In addition, they also receive their own encounter music, a track not seen in Red and Blue.

==Archiving Pages==
Please note that when archiving pages on Bulbapedia, you should move your current talk page to the new page instead of copying and pasting it. This preserves the history of the talk page. Just letting you know so you understand why I edited your talk page. Thanks for reading. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 21:22, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
:I will keep that in mind for the future. Thanks, Pokemaster. In truth, I was used to just cutting and pasting because of how often I do that through Wikia sites. If that's what's preferred, I'll just stick to that (much easier method, as well).

== HP Bar test ==

This section exists to test the HP bar at the top of the page. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy]] ([[User_talk:Schiffy|Speak to me]]|[[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|What I've done]]) 21:20, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

YAAAAY!!! MORE TESTING!!!! [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 05:31,12/13/2013 (UTC)

==Userspace limits==
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 23:23, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
:.... I was trying to fix an error, one which I [[User_talk:Werdnae#Might_need_some_help_here.|contacted Werndae]] about. That wasn't over-excessive editing, that was trying to solve a transclusion issue. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 23:26,1/2/2014 (UTC)

==Hold on!==
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the <code>User:</code> namespace too much. In the past, no one was allowed to edit their userpages because some users were over-editing their own userpages. Your personal editing privileges can be taken away, so please do not edit your page any more for now. Instead, how about helping contribute to some of Bulbapedia's [[Special:Random|many articles]]? Thank you. --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 22:43, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
:Okay, first of all, once again, ''please'' do not continue messaging me with warnings as if you are staff. If staff steps in and says there is a problem, then fine. Second of all, the first time you messaged me, as I said before, was a maintenance error that I was trying to fix and inadvertently caused multiple edits with, and as I said, I had attempted to see if Werndae could do anything (unsuccessfully, but that makes no difference). Has you actually taken the time to ''look'' at the edits, or even the edit summaries, you'd realize that it was a MediaWiki issue involving the [[:Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded|Pages where template include size is exceeded]] category, once which is not easily fixable. Now, if you don't mind, I would prefer you do not bug me with these faux warnings any more, given that you yourself have been found breaking the userspace policy by {{DL|User talk:Cinday123|Userspace policy|editing someone else's userpage without their permission}}, plus doing the {{DL|User talk:Cinday123|Userspace limits|same thing you are attempting to warn me about}}, as well as {{DL|User talk:Cinday123|The Preview Button|edit fluffing}}. You are not staff, please do not act like it. Thank you, and good day. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 22:59,1/8/2014 (UTC)

::Opps, I will stop it, admins will do it if you make more than three edits, and one more thing, you're not an admin, OK, so I won't be mean to you, I'm so sorry for doing that.

== Friend Safari ==

In Friend Safari, my type is unknown and what if they don't know their Friend Safari's type, then don't add it, so if you add a friend and they have their own Friend Safari and contains three Pokémon, then you can add that template. [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 23:06, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
:The template is still very fresh, not even sure if it's even necessary to move it since I'm letting people use it without asking if they want. Obviously, if you don't know anything about your Safari, then it's not really worth it to use it at all. If you've only unlocked two, the third will link to {{p|???}}, and the third sprite will be the question mark (same for all Gen VI until we get the images, but that's irrelevant). The usage is rightfully <code><nowiki>{{User:Schiffy/User Friend Safari|type|first dex #|second|third|first name|second|third}}</nowiki></code>. It's already equipped to not break from a missing parameter. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 01:01,1/9/2014 (UTC)

== Friend Safari ==

I'm responding here rather than on ArcToraphim's talk page because I don't want to butt in there before he gets a chance to talk, but I just wanted to let you know that {{DL|Talk:Friend Safari|Post-Christmas Update on This?|the staff ''are'' already working on this}}. They're not ignoring it. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:43, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

== Here's what it comes down to ==

So, noting your comments from over two weeks ago, I asked how to easily review usertags on the [[Bulbapedia talk:Usertag policy|talk page]] of [[Bulbapedia:Usertag policy]]. You're welcome to respond to it. This message is also at [[User talk:?8|my talk page]]. [[User:?8|???]][[User talk:?8|???]] 00:17, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
:That really doesn't affect me much. As far as my Friend Safari tag goes, I specifically have it listed as anyone may use it without asking me first. Whether or not it ever gets moved into the <code>Template:</code> namespace is really trivial.

== Hey ==

If you see a merge going on, please don't edit the page before it is done.

== Warning Other Users ==

While letting another user know they've done something wrong in a polite manner when no staff is around is perfectly fine, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ACinday123&diff=2077528&oldid=2077514 this] absolutely is not.

So, I saw your notice to me. I honestly have no idea where that came from.

Oh god, I just realized it. I have a chrome extension that changes every instance of "Cloud" to "Butt" when a page is loaded. It must have changed that down below in the edit pane and I had no clue. I'm sorry about that.

:From looking through RC a week or so ago, I noticed that it apparently became common for the player character to be left out (or removed from) of the "notable members" list on the Chateau classes. If anything, a more formal decision should probably be made. But until then, either all of the articles should list Calem and Serena, or none of them should.

::Shoot first and ask questions later, is it? If you don't know the reason, IMO the smart course would have been to bring it up with the person(s) who started that sort of edit and ask if they missed the other articles and/or what their reason was (knowing the reason, maybe then you could have decided they were right). I don't support making edits from a place of ignorance... I suppose I'll try to sort it with the one staff member who briefly contributed to the "trend", then.

:Huh, odd. For some reason that chapter was not showing up in the [[:Category:Manga chapters in need of Japanese names|category]] I was going through. Looks like the <code>title_ja</code> section had something that was read as something other than whitespace (probably a whitespace character written using a non-English keyboard, like what I'm using for the titles), so it wasn't placed in the category (at least that's my guess).

== Soul House? ==
In the second generation the Pokemon Tower was made into a radio tower and replaced with the Soul House, which was placed where the mart was originally.

== Lavender Town Tone and the like ==

Is it true that the original version of this town's melody in Pokémon Red and Green (mentioned in the article) had experimental "binaural beats" that had frequencies undetectable by fully developed human ears? These sounds are alleged to have been connected to suicides in children aged 7-12 in Japan. Urban legend?
[http://www.falconchurch.com/showthread.php?180-Lavender-Town-Tone%28Pokemon-Red-Green%29-THIS-IS-VERY-VERY-LONG] [[User:Ampere|Ampere]] 19:06, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
:Rumor. Come on, does that article even SOUND factual?
::Didn't sound very likely, but I do wonder why they changed the music.[[User:Ampere|Ampere]] 19:44, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
FYI, I've heard both themes (1.0 and the later versions), and I can't tell the difference. Help please? [[User:MagicBarrier|MagicBarrier]] 18:23, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

To clarify:
Lavender Town is rumored to have changed the background music between its release in Japan and North America. This is -sort- of true, but a bit inaccurate. Along with this are rumors that it cause headaches, paranoia, and a number of other things in people who heard the sound through headphones, ultimately resulting in dementia, suicide, or other horror stories.

In truth, there was a minor change made to the music, but it was later than the NA release of the game. Later-run carts either omit or changed a layer in the background music (don't remember which) because the original version had the pitch set an octave too high - just outside of the normal hearing range for an adult, but NOT the 7 to 12 range the game was aimed at. Even though the sound couldn't be "heard" by older kids and adults, it could be "felt" if heard through headphones. The worst of it was that it caused a mild headache or blurred vision, especially in younger kids. There were no suicides, and there are no cases of mental illness linked to the sound.

There are also supposed videos or sound files with a "beta" version of the soundtrack for Lavender that add in deeper tones or play slower, which are pretty much just either completely fake or hacked emulator ROMs. Basically, the rumors are usually either started by people taking Creepypasta seriously or exaggerations of the real story. All it was was a single, high-pitched sound layer that made your head hurt. --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] 19:40, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
::But should we add the Lavender Town hoax to trivia? I mean it is a very popular subject in Pokémon speculation. And people visiting the site might want to read about it. --[[User:Shinsaku|Shinsaku]] 23:49, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

: I hear the sounds quite well, also I really doubt those stories even happened. Likely just the video poster trying to scare users a bit.

I listened to the original version a few weeks ago, and I felt really creped out. Although it probably was because I just watched a video on Pokemon Creepy Black Version ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iYwMgG8dNs ), and it was late at night, idk. I kept feeling like someone was watching, and when I was half asleep, I thought I heard someone say "Get out now". Probably just hype. Oh wells. Point it, it's creepy.

Should the sprite of the marowak ghost and unown spelling leave that's suppositly embeded into the sound track hoax on youtube be notified? [[User:VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP|VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP]] 18:30, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK2iLnTR9V8 This]? You realize that all that's been done is that a image-to-text program has been used to embed those images into the sound. That's why the sound completely mismatches everything else at that point. It doesn't match the actual sound track of Lavender Town at all.

== "Cion" Town Romanization ==
Is there any particular reason we are romanizing シオン as "Cion"? From what I've seen it doesn't look linked to an English word and therefore should be kept as the more widely-used "Shion". --[[User:Jda95|jda95]] 11:04, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

== 'Audio differences' revisited ==

I don't believe that the audio differences are real. If you play other versions of first generation games, including {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} then you can easily hear some high pitched notes, but there is no real evidence the music differ between versions.

Relatively recently it was claimed that {{nw|Kazumi Totaka|Totaka's song}} was found [http://neogaf.net/forum/showthread.php?p=35243135#post35243135 in Wii Sports] due to differences in pitch when you continue to hit the ball in Wii Tennis, but it was challenged on message boards such as NinDB and NeoGAF based on the reason that [[wikipedia:confirmation bias|confirmation bias]] might lead you to perceive that the notes do sound like Totaka's song. When the pitches were [http://neogaf.net/forum/showpost.php?p=35250916&postcount=545 analysed in Melodyne], it was found that the differences in pitch were far from Totaka's song.

I haven't analysed Lavender Town in Melodyne, but I don't think that we can assume that there is a difference until solid evidence suggests that there is. This [http://www.youtube.com/user/TamashiiHiroka user] played Pokémon Red/Blue's Lavender Town music claiming that it was from Pokémon Red and Green, and there were people who commented saying that they heard a 'difference'.

If there were any real differences they might not be related not based on the game, but how the audio was compressed, or the system or emulator which you're using to play the game. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] ([[User talk:Chickasaurus|talk]]) 16:35, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

== Truth about this lavender town music stuff ==

First of all, theres 2 versions, that part is true.

First the green beta version which can easily be heard here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNKEcCna-ws

However, any reports of anything more then a headache is FALSE. Nobody suicided, nobody got paranoia. Headaches. That's it.

Next, the normal version that was released everywhere including Japan:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fYam4QKnsM

Again, nothing more then a headache. Also, i think the original should be mentioned somewhere. Not on this article, but the Beta article.

:Please refer to the posts by Chickasaurus above. There is actually only one version of the Lavender Town song in the Generation I games, and fans have since created rumors that there was a slightly different version in Red and Green v1.0 (it is true that there is a v1.0 and v1.1 of Red and Green though). Besides, it certainly isn't the one you linked; that's clearly a fan remix; most claims are that it is slightly higher pitch such that only children could hear it, not that the song is so dramatically different. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:16, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

== There is actually a difference between international and Japanese version music. ==

I have played the Japanese Blue, and the music is in fact different between the Japanese and the international versions. There are in fact more sounds that are present in the Japanese versions, which makes it sound slightly different and creepier, but not that major of a difference. It still is a difference, and there is a so-called "beta" version, which I say in quotation marks because in no way, shape, or form are the Japanese RGB games the "beta versions". Anybody who claims they sound identical has obviously not played one of the Japanese versions, and I can testify that it is different. Should this be noted? --[[User:DarthNightmaricus|DarthNightmaricus]] ([[User talk:DarthNightmaricus|talk]]) 22:19, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

:''Best Wishes! redirects here. For the similarly named first opening of the Best Wishes series, see [[Best Wishes! (song)]].''

[[File:BWseries.png|thumb|The series poster]]
[[File:BW season poster.png|thumb|{{Ash}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Iris}} with their Pokémon in an English-language poster for the series]]

The '''''Best Wishes'' series''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターベストウイッシュ''' ''Pocket Monsters Best Wishes!'') is the fourth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]], following after the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and based on the events of the [[Generation V]] games. It ran from September 23, 2010 to September 26, 2013 in Japan and from February 12, 2011 to December 7, 2013 in the United States.

As with both the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series2|Diamond and Pearl}} series before it, the ''Best Wishes'' series begins with only [[Ash Ketchum]], headed off to a new region with his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Much like before, his previous female companion, {{an|Dawn}}, has left the series, while, unlike the previous three series, with the exception of the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Archipelago]] saga, {{an|Brock}} does not join him in his journey in Unova. Instead, Ash now travels through [[Unova]] with a girl by the name of {{an|Iris}} and with one of the first Gym Leaders of Unova, {{an|Cilan}}.

As before, Ash receives a change of clothes. For the first time in the entire show, the [[Team Rocket trio]] also receive a change of clothes, but later change back to their original outfits. Additionally, the [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] in Unova are designed differently than those of the regions visited by Ash before. Best Wishes is also notable for [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} not being present in all episodes outside of clip shows and the [[EP001|first episode]], a trend that continued into the {{series|XY}}. For a majority of the series they play a significantly more antagonistic role than in any other series.

The series also saw the return of ''[[Who's That Pokémon?|Dare da?]]'' in [[BW061]] after an absence of 444 episodes. The dub equivalent, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' had already returned as of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''.

It is divided into three [[season]]s for audiences outside of Japan.

==Japanese seasons==
The ''Best Wishes'' series has been divided into multiple arcs in the Japanese release, similar to the "chapters" of the {{series|Original}}:

==Dub seasons==
When the ''Best Wishes'' series came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it is divided into seasons:
* [[Pokémon: Black & White]] ([[BW001]] - [[BW048]])
* [[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]] ([[BW049]] - [[BW097]])
* [[Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova]] ([[BW098]] - [[BW142]])

Episodes in the ''Best Wishes'' series are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''BW''' on Bulbapedia. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of Best Wishes series episodes|list of ''Best Wishes'' series episodes]].

==Trivia==
[[File:BW series prerelease.png|thumb|A pre-release poster, featuring {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{an|Iris}}, her {{p|Axew}}, and {{an|Cilan}}]]
* The ''Best Wishes'' series is the first series since the [[original series]] to have no in-game playable characters present in Ash's group.
* It is likely that the ''Best Wishes'' title is intentionally comprised of words beginning with B and W as an allusion to its counterpart games, {{2v2|Black|White}}.
** In the Japanese title, the katakana transcription of the English word "Wishes" ('''ウイッシュ''') contains the Japanese name of the region the games and anime series take place in, [[Unova|Isshu]] ('''イッシュ''').
* For several weeks, previews of the ''Best Wishes'' series's early episodes explicitly excluded [[Ash Ketchum]], with the hosts of [[Pokémon Sunday]] commenting on his absence. Ash did not appear on a pre-release poster, as well. This was likely to hide his redesign for greater surprise.
* The first few episodes of this series share similar elements to the first few episodes of the original series, and the series features many allusions to the original series present.
** Both of Ash's traveling companions are based on Gym Leaders.
** Both of Ash's female traveling companions try to avoid returning to a specific [[Gym]].
** Ash's female companion debuts in the first episode of the series, but she is not introduced in full until the second.
** Ash meets his male traveling companion in the fifth episode, when he leaves behind his Gym Leader duties to travel with Ash.
** The sixth episode of both series feature a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that evolves via the {{evostone|Moon Stone}}.
* ''Best Wishes'' is the first anime series that did not premiere on the same day its respective games were released since the original series.
* Ash catches the Unova starter Pokémon in reverse Pokédex order, obtaining {{AP|Oshawott}}, then {{AP|Tepig}}, and finally {{AP|Snivy}}. All previous times he has caught multiple starter Pokémon he has caught the {{type|Grass}} among them first, following up with the {{type|Fire}} in all regions but [[Hoenn]], and finally catching the {{type|Water}} among the group in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] only.
* This is the shortest completed series of the anime so far, with 142 episodes.
** This series also has the fewest dub seasons, with three.
** This is also the series with the fewest [[Pokémon movie|movies]] to date, with only three.
* This is the first series in which all episodes that were originally aired in Japan were dubbed. Previously, the {{series|original}} had four banned episodes and the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} dubs each skipped recap episodes. There were two [[BW023 (unaired)|unaired]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] in the ''Best Wishes'' series, but they were also unaired in Japan.
* With the beginning of this series, many attacks have had their visual appearances changed (for instance, {{type|Fire}} attacks and {{m|Stone Edge}} are now rendered in CGI, while [[physical attack|physical]] {{type|Steel}} attacks make the corresponding body part steel-colored rather than white). {{m|Hyper Beam}} has also been changed considerably, to match how it looks in the games.
* ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', the final episode of ''Season 2: Episode N'' aired in Japan during the same week that ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', the first episode of Episode N aired in the United States.
* This is the first series in which [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] don't appear at all.
* This is the only series in which [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] is not part of the cast.
* This is the only series that uses the same title card throughout the entire series.
* [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] goes back to the way they were before the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} dub, becoming less of being merely comic relief and more villainous like they were in the 4Kids dub. Their dubbed dialogue also no longer rhymes.

Talk:Blue (game)

2014-01-29T22:48:58Z

DarthNightmaricus: /* Separating the articles out by character */ new section

"...previously referred to as Gary in early manuals..."
I checked a few of my manuals:
* English Red: refers to him as "rival"
* English Blue: refers to him as "rival"
* Japanese Blue: refers to him as "Red (rival)"
* Japanese Yellow: refers to him as "Blue (rival)"

So, is the piece about him being referred to as Gary referring to the instruction manuals somewhere, or to players guides? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

Interesting. I was going off an official Nintendo strategy guide from Red/Blue. It said Gary in every instance. I said early because in a yellow version one I used to have it no longer said Gary and switched to either Blue or Rival, can't remember which. But if in the actual manuals it's not mentioned, then it should probably be taken out. --[[user:greengiant|greengiant]]

Ah yes, I may know the strategy guide. The anime came out before the games by about a month in the US, so that may be why they chose to use "Ash" and "Gary" -- or even because they knew kids would be used to the anime regardless of when it came out. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

Haha. Yeah I have a couple "official" guides that always refers to him as Gary, never "your rival". Which always annoyed me. The only use those guides serve is as an attack reference anyway. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 09:16, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Shouldn't he be taken out of the anime characters category? - Zeta

Unfortunately, "Anime Category" is bound to the "Gym Leader" category. If you want to remove it from the anime category, and ensure each Gym Leader properly has this category where applicable, that'd be great. I don't have time at the moment to do it myself. Janine falls into the same spot as being listed in anime -- or was she in it? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Am I the only person who noticed that they officially changed his name back to Green in FRLG? [[User:Fishman|Fishman]] 21:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:They did, but until GSDS confirms that with him as an NPC, we can't change it back. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 13:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

----

== Blue's Charizard ==

Why does this page list Blue's Charizard as having Aerial Ace in Red/Blue/Green? Aerial Ace wasn't introduced until 3rd Generation. I don't know what it should be, but it definitely isn't Aerial Ace. --[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 02:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah... someone likely took the data straight from FRLG. Anyway... we'll need someone to fix that. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 03:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

::Looks like there was another error with Blue's Charizard that's been hanging there since forever. It was listed as having Dragon Dance, which was introduced in GenII. So I assume it knew Flamethrower instead, but if anyone has a R/B version where they can challenge Blue at Route 22, then I'd be much obliged if they checked me on that. Or, if someone can simply find confirmation on its moves, but I don't know where they might find that. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 13:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

== Hmmm..... ==

Okay, in Yellow, we know that how Blue evolves Eevee depends on the first two battles. (battle 1=Prof Oak's lab, battle 2=Route 22)

Jolteon: Win battles 1 and 2

Vaporeon: Lose battle 1, lose/skip battle 2

Flareon: Win battle 1, lose/skip battle 2

BUT! What if the player loses the first battle and then wins the second battle? Does Blue not evolve Eevee at all? Is its evolution chose randomly? I lost my Yellow Version YEARS ago, so I couldn't find out myself. I'm [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]], and I approve this [[User Talk:Missingno. Master|message.]] 23:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

:It's not based specifically on each individual battle. It's based on the number of times you beat him. If you beat him both times, then it's Jolteon. If you beat him one time, it's Flareon. If you didn't beat him either time, it's Vaporeon. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 16:20, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

== A few things ==

The tables of his Pokémon are a bit too much. Any way to fix it? It's annoying to load. Also, in the table for other names, there's an extra column. Lastly, Gary has more than one sprite in the games where he's a rival. [[User: Tc26|'''tc''']][[User talk: Tc26|'''2''']][[Special: Contributions/Tc26|'''6''']] 02:27, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
:It's Blue, not Gary. And we've changed the sprites for his Final Confrontation as Champion for RB. Originally, his RB sprite was used for the yellow tables, because neither Bulbapedia, nor anywhere else on the internet, or so it seems, has the yellow trainer sprites. So I'm ripping them and uploading them as I go. But that means it will take me a bit of time to get to the Championship battle in Yellow, so I'll upload it when I get there (I'm currently at Bill's House in Yellow, but I'm speedplaying).

:Oh, and about the tables being a bit too much, that's the new standard for Bulbapedia. The old version of the pages had just the species names and levels for each encounter, and maybe the moves for the final encounter. So deal with the levels, because it's a real pain to make, and we're not going to revert all that hard work we've done over the last several days. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 13:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
:Starting with battle 4 there's a new Blue sprite in Yellow and FRLG, and most likely RB. There's also a third (champion) sprite. Just thought I'd throw that out. [[User:Gligar|'''Gli''']][[User talk:Gligar|'''gar''']] 21:04, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, that's why I changed the sprite for Battle 4 in Yellow. There are NO Yellow Trainer sprites, save the ones I've been uploading these past weeks. Give me some time, and I'll get you some sprites. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 23:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

So... Perhaps due to Tc26's complaint back on the 19th, or simply perhaps because we're goin gto have a new standard, TTEchidna has changed the charts on the Brock Page so as that the tables show more information, the version sprites, and can be hid. Shall we do this for Blue as well? [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 18:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

:I like it a lot better than the other one, personally. It's much more detailed. What do you think? [[User:Okoa|Okoa]] 03:40, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
::Same here. It's just going to be a bitch to change. But, I'll go about it, piece by piece, and I'm sure other people will too. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 17:00, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I'll help you out. That's a lot of Trainers to change. =) [[User:Okoa|Okoa]] 17:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

==Champion==

This article claims "It is a mystery who Blue's predecessor as Champion was." however, isn't it supposed to be a twist that Blue is the Champion and the player is expecting themselves to be the Champion after beating Lance? Also, I'm sure Lance implies that Blue is the first person to defeat the Elite Four... so surely we are to believe that Blue did not have a predecessor as Champion?
:I agree. It was only by second generation that "Champion" became a title for a standard character, who remains champion for good (though I guess Daigo got ousted by Mikuri, but we'll let that one slide...). The original games imply that beating Wataru makes the player the champion. I quote: "Congratulations, [player], you are now the new Champion! ...Or, you would have been, ...etc." RGBY imply that one only needs to beat the Four Heavenly Kings to become the Pokémon League Champion, but from GSC on, the current Champion was a role that was expected to be faced after the Shitenno. In a way, they (the game designers) decided that the Lord of the Four Heavenly Kings (in myth, the Shitenno always serve a master) was as much an important role so it really becomes more like 5 elite trainers, though I guess they are supposed to serve whoever is the current greatest. The fact the Champion stays on until you decide to not challenge the Shitenno any more and move on to the next game (after which you, the player, truly is the champion, as we see that Red was Champion during the years between RGBY and GSC), the role of Champion seems more like the game designers didn't know what they were going to do with it from then on. Wataru's sudden appearance as the Champion is somewhat of a twist too; if he's a wandering trainer and no longer a member of the Shitenno, it's a surprise that he's the champion. Similarly Daigo, Mikuri, and Shirona all have plot-related roles, and thus are the surprise ending Champions. But at the time of RGBY, they didn't really know they would be using these non-rival Champions, so we can't really say that there had to have been a Champion before Green. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 17:00, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

== Generation III Champion sprite ==

Down in the Trivia section, it says that Generation III does not give Blue a separate Champion sprite, and I just wanted to point out that that's not true; it's just that no one's uploaded Blue's other FR/LG sprites. Anyways, I didn't want to start an edit war or anything, so I thought I'd point it out first. [[User:Okoa|Okoa]] 17:46, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
:True. How could anyone write such bullshit? I just LOVE it when so-called "fans" jump into conclusion. And that's all from someone's laziness. Thanks for pointing this out, otherwise Bulbapedia would have yet another false information. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 17:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
::Ahhh, that looks so much better. Thank you for uploading them! [[User:Okoa|Okoa]] 18:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

== Quotes ==

Do we only have Blue's Champion quote because those are the only ones we could find or because otherwise the page would become overcrowded? Atm, I'm actually looking for all of his quotes, does anyone know where I can find this without playing through the entirety of Red & Gold? [[User:Gastlys mama|Gastlys mama]] 23:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

His eyes look black-ish to me. Red's,and Leaf's,eyes look brown. [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 00:32, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

== Page size ==

Do you think this page is a little too big? My browser freaks out when I visit it. Maybe the sprites should be hidden. This page is current 107 kbs long, more than 3 times the recommended size. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:49, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

== Idea For the Size ==

<ab>I just had an idea for the size. Why not split it up like this:

Blue (game)/Red and Blue
Blue (game)/Yellow
Blue (game)/FireRed and LeafGreen

Or something along those lines. This will significantly reduce the page sizes.</ab> '''[[User:ShinjiLover|SL]]'''''[[User talk:ShinjiLover|-sama]]''[[Special:Contributions/ShinjiLover|contribs]] 18:38, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

:But it would be for his teams only (something like what we have for Pokemon movesets). Because it would be useless to have separate articles on Blue's character in every game. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:02, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

::::Just like what Trom said, that's what I was going for. And, yes, I meant the teams.

===RBG section prototype===
Blue and Red have been rivals ever since they were babies. Before leaving for his journey, he lived in Pallet Town, just like Red.

The player first meets Blue at Professor Oak's lab, where he and Red were asked to come. Oak offers the two of them one Pokémon each, with Red having first choice from {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Charmander}}. After Red chooses a Pokémon, Blue chooses the one with a type advantage over Red's. He then brags that his Pokémon looks much stronger. When Red is about to leave, Blue challenges him to a battle. Whatever the outcome, Blue declares his intention to train his Pokémon, and leaves.

Soon, Professor Oak calls the two of them back to give them Pokédexes, and tells them of his dream to categorize all Pokémon in the world with their help. Blue says he can do it by himself, and tells his sister, [[Daisy]], not to give Red a [[Town Map]] (she does so anyway, not acknowledging his words).

...

It isn't until they meet up again in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] that Blue's initial choice affects the rest of his team, where he switches out his Raticate and switches in Pokémon of the two types he didn't initially choose ({{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, and {{p|Growlithe}} for Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander), bringing a sort of type balance to his team.

...

After beating the Elite Four, Red finds out from Lance that Blue was one step ahead of him, and is now the Champion. He proceeds into the final battle room to find Blue visibly more mature and with all of his Pokémon in their final evolutions, and he claims that his team could beat any type. Blue brags that he is the most powerful trainer in the world, and the battle starts.

== Version-specific nomenclature ==

Based on the default names in ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'', should version-specific incidences of this character (namely his ''FR''/''LG'' battles) carry "Green" in place?
Also, from up top of this page, it's interesting that the Japanese Yellow uses "Blue" for rival default (and helps me to rationalize ''G''/''S''/''C'' use of Blue, since I'm a Yellow supporter above all first-gen versions (but this is all beside the point)). [[User:TJF588|TJF588]] 23:55, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
:Third versions always use the second version name for the rival (except RSE, which named the rival Brendan/May). As for his name changing to Green based on FRLG, well, we pretty much decided to wait until the almost completely inevitable [[GSDS]] to see if that has him as Green or Blue, and then use that.

::Optional names change in every game. That's not really a good base to debate anything. Only NPC appearance names count as canonical names. That means that his name is Blue. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:02, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

== So about calling him "Green" ==

Let it be known that if he is in fact named as Green in HGSS's English translation (he will be in HGSS's Japanese, because he's ''always'' been Green there) this is moving to {{ga|Green}}. Same goes for [[Janine]] if they rename her in HGSS (please don't, NoA). '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:39, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

== Shouldn't his name be Green? ==

Well, the reason why we seem to call him Blue is because of the US Pokemon Red & ''Blue'' versions of course. That's probably because in Pokemon Red, the default name for your rival is Blue, and that's his name in G/S/C.

But were in Gen IV now, so shouldn't his name be Green? Since LeafGreen version was ''not'' renamed WaterBlue or something in the US, and according to FireRed version, the default name for your rival is Green.

Also, wtf is the female player of FR/LG being called Leaf? And since when was the HG/SS named Soul? And since when was the D/P/Pt rival named Pearl? I already know the answer: they never had those names :/. --Chaos Rush 00:38:19 (UTC)
:At the moment we are waiting for HGSS, where Blue/Green will be an NPC, rather than a rival, to see what his name is. Until then it was decided above that he will be Blue, as that was his only NPC appearance where the player does not name him.
:The female player character for FR/LG is called "Leaf", because that is what she is named if you cancel out of the naming screen without putting a name in the ''first'' version (i.e. Fire Red). Soul is currently called such based on Leaf (prefix of second version), but may change when HGSS comes out.
:Pearl is called such for the same reason as Leaf - that is what is given if you cancel out of the name entry screen in Diamond.
:Ask an admin for the official policy, but it appears to be that if they are never an NPC that is not named by the player, then they are named with whatever name it gives them if you enter a blank name - essentially the game's defaults. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:50, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

:: That's not true. In FireRed, if you leave your name blank, it does ''not'' come out with Leaf. It comes out with a bunch of random names, such as "Suzi" and "June". Also in Diamond and Platinum, if you leave your rival's name blank, he automatically becomes Barry :/. Again, that's pretty much why I think that Leaf and Pearl are stupid fake names.

:::::::::: Oh, I see. But to me it still doesn't make sense how if GameFreak have stopped naming their characters after version names in R/S/E and D/P/Pt, why would the Rival have a version name as his name? And what's with favoring Diamond version over Pearl O_o... And judging by the way "Leaf" was named, then wouldn't that mean that "Pearl" would be Cedric according to in-game hidden data? Illogical of course. We might as well rename the Leaf article, "Amanda/Cassie/Hillary/Jodi/June/Makey/Michi/Omi/Paula/Rey/Seda/Kiko/Mina/Norie/Sai/Momo/Suzi" since those are the defaults, right? That's why it makes no sense, if Leaf is to be named after hidden data, than it would be logical to name the D/P/Pt rival after his hidden data, "Cedric", and yet you guys name him from the default name, while Leaf doesn't get a default name.

You're reasoning he's "only Blue because..." verifies that, for the time being, ''yes'' he is Blue in English canon. That's top par. And if HGSS carries over the "Blue" issue, you people will still argue, "But he's Green over there!" But he's not Green here.

== trivia ==

"Blue is the only rival with a starter that could be weak to the players starter"

But doesn't the rival in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum become weak to the players starter if you choose Chimchar?

Piplup becomes Prinplup, then Empoleon, a Water/Steel type right? If Chimchar evolves into Monferno (then Infernape), a Fire/Fighting type, wouldn't you have the advantage against the secondary typing of that Empoleon? [[User:Gengarzilla|Gengarzilla]] 21:41, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
:Think it means primary type. Same thing happens with Torterra. Ground beats Fire. Although I do agree it should be removed. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 21:43, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
::Hate to jump in on an old conversation, but I noticed that Blue in Yellow is the only beginning rival (ie not Wally) with a starter that's never super effective against the player's starter. Vaporeon is weak to Pikachu (Doing half damage to Pikachu, while getting double damage done to it from Pikachu), Jolteon and Pikachu do half damage to each other, and Eevee/Flareon and Pikachu do base damage to each other. -[[User:Dresden213|Dresden213]] 22:26, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

== Flareon's moveset. ==

I don't know why, but in Pokémon Yellow, Flareon is capable of using Reflect. When I used Omastar (or Omanyte) lvl ~42 to fight him with Water Gun Flareon doesn't attacked, just used Reflect every time. Also, recently when I attacked it with Thunder... it used Reflect. Does moveset varies or what? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 19:13, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

== Alakazam's moveset ==

In Pokémon Yellow Version, Champion Blue's Alakazam knows the move Psychic. Swift or Kinesis must be wrong. Probably Swift, since Alakazam and its evolutionary relatives aren't capable of learning that move according to Bulbapedia. It might know Reflect as well. This also applies for this page: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Blue_%28game%29/Yellow [[User:Nechifor|Nechifor]] 10:24, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
:From watching various YT videos, I confirmed {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Kinesis}}, {{m|Psychic}} and {{m|Psybeam}}. Looks like Swift was wrong. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:39, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I recently battled him in Silph Co. and his Charizard used Smokescreen, Wing Attack, and Flamethrower.
Oh, and his Charmeleon used Smokescreen during the Pokémon Tower battle. [[User:Sludge|Sludge]] 14:32, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

== Mention of scrapped music? ==

I don't know, but I'm not entirely sure if fake or not. But I found one of the battle music on youtube, and it mentioned it playing in B/W but it was scrapped. Is it true? If it is, isn't it worth a mention in the Trivia box? [[User:Chocos0|Chocos0]] 23:49, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
:I personally don't think it's notable. Not enough evidence it was truely scrapped or not. Also adding trivia is currently not allowed. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 23:54, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
::It's in the games' code and it's unused, it's definitely not fake. The R/S version of the legendary beasts theme is mentioned in their article, even if it's only part of a trivum. - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 00:04, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

== "Blue will not battle the player until he or she has the other seven Kanto badges. " ==

Apparently not in Crystal, as I didn't defeated Blaine yet, but I could challenge Blue in Viridian Gym. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 18:59, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

== Possible change of font ==
Hey guys, not exactly sure how this site works or how to edit pages, but is there any chance of changing the colour of the "show" spoiler tags on Blue's team lists? Trying to see blue on blue doesn't exactly go too well, and people newer to the site than myself may not even realise they can open the lists out.
Same kinda goes for any other pages that Blue is featured on, such as the Viridian Gym page.
As I said, I'm new to the site and thought it better to write in here than to go straight ahead and edit the page itself.

Blue has been removed from this template because he is not one of the Elite Four. That template should be removed. [[User:Kookamooka|Kookamooka]] 23:57, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

== Six Island Quote ==

Article is locked, so I will paste it here for anyone to add it:

=====[[Six Island]]=====
:''"Hey, <player>! How's your [[Pokédex]] filling up? It looks like it's impossible to get all the Pokémon by hanging around just these parts. Maybe there are Pokémon we don't know about somewhere far away... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Well, if I can't do it, there's no way for you to get it done. I'm not going to get all desperate over this. I will keep collecting Pokémon at my own pace while I train them. That's what I'll do. So there's no point staying here. I may as well leave for home.

--[[User:Glalie Power|Glalie Power]] ([[User talk:Glalie Power|talk]]) 00:00, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia Thing ==

:Concerning the bit of trivia that mentions his Raticate being the only Rival Pokemon to be replaced, in May's optional second battle in Rustboro city in Pokemon Emerald, she has a Torkoal that's eventually replaced by a Slugma. Although, I don't know if this is an error considering the fact that Brendan's article states he has a Slugma in that battle. In either case, that trivia should be removed. --'''[[Special:Contributions/Azurillglow2mlw7|Azurill]][[User talk:Azurillglow2mlw7|glow2]][[User:Azurillglow2mlw7|mlw7]]''' 19:43, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

== Dead Raticate? ==

I keep coming across fan art, videos and other instances that say that in the original Red and Blue, The Rivals asks you if you know how it feels to have a Pokemon of yours die while in Lavendar town, and that this is why he doesn't have his Raticate anymore. I know the article's transcript of the conversaton betwen rival and player make no mention to this, but still there are so many people stating this and even claiming to remember it.

Its been to many years and my Red and Blue games were lost long ago...is there any truth to this...or could it be just some regional translation thing; like people in certain regions receive differently translated game text? Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 04:42, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

== Blue- Gary Confusion ==

It has come to my concern that you have added Gary's battle's from "Pokémon Yellow: Yellow Pikachu Edition". You see, "Pokémon Yellow: Yellow Pikachu Edition" is based off of "Pokemon│ Season 1: Indigo League", so in "Pokémon Yellow: Yellow Pikachu Edition" you play as Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, and your rival is Gary Oak, not Blue Oak. Now the story is more similar to "Pokemon Red Version" & "Pokemon Blue Version" but the anime wasn't that far in progress yet. The anime is just a more detailed version of the story is all. Same goes for the manga and the games. So I believed this should be fixed. {{unsigned|Alakazam Dan}}
:The game characters =/= the anime characters, and though the game is based basically off of the anime, Red and Blue are not the same as Ash and Gary. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 15:53, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

::I know Red and Blue are not Ash and Gary, that's exactly my point. The games Red,Blue,Fire Red and Leaf Green you play as Red and your rival is Blue... but the game yellow is based off of the anime it is suppost to follow the events in the anime meaning you are ash not red {{unsigned|Alakazam Dan}}
:::Based on =/= carbon copy. A lot of the things that happen in the anime don't happen in Yellow, and everything that happens in Red and Blue happens in Yellow. You still play as Red in Yellow.

== Separating the articles out by character ==

I have an idea. Why not seperate out Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow as individual characters, just make it be that Red and Yellow are brothers who are rivals of Green and Blue Oak, who are also brothers. Basically, Red and Yellow happen and so do Green and Blue. LeafGreen... Leaf is just her own character. --[[User:DarthNightmaricus|DarthNightmaricus]] ([[User talk:DarthNightmaricus|talk]]) 22:48, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

'''Cinnabar Island''' (referred to in Japanese as both '''{{tt|グレンじま|Guren Jima}}''' ''Guren Island'' and '''{{tt|グレンタウン|Guren Taun}}''' ''Guren Town'') is a large island located off the southern coast of the [[Kanto]] region, south of [[Pallet Town]]. It is home to a large volcano. [[Blaine]] was once the resident [[Gym Leader]] specializing in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but as of Generation IV, Cinnabar Island no longer has a Gym. {{wp|Cinnabar}} is a kind of red mineral, associated with hot springs and volcanoes. The island is connected to the mainland by two water routes: {{rt|20|Kanto}} in the east and {{rt|21|Kanto}} in the north, leading to [[Fuchsia City]] and Pallet Town, respectively.

The [[Generation I]] games reveal Cinnabar Island to be a technological mecca. The journals scattered about the abandoned {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} suggest that {{p|Mewtwo}} was cloned here. The scientists at the [[Pokémon Lab]] have the ability to resurrect Pokémon from their [[Fossil]]s. Two years after the events of [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}}, as seen in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}, a volcano erupted on the island, destroying everything except for the [[Pokémon Center]], and the Cinnabar Gym has been relocated to the Seafoam Islands.

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon Mansion===
{{main|Pokémon Mansion (Kanto)}}
The Pokémon Mansion is a decrepit, burned-down mansion on Cinnabar Island. It got its name because a famous Pokémon Researcher once lived there. The Pokémon Mansion has four different floors. Doors can be unlocked in the Mansion by pressing switches hidden in {{p|Mewtwo}} statues. To access the Cinnabar Island [[Gym]] in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}}, the main character has to enter the mansion and find the {{key|I|Secret Key|Secret}} {{key|III|Secret Key|Key}} to unlock the door of the Gym. Many {{tc|burglar}}s come to the mansion, trying to steal valuable items that may have been lost in the wreckage, challenging the player to a battle when spotted. Amongst the rubble and wreckage is information that the scientists who once worked there obtained a {{p|Mew}} and impregnated it with the genetically altered {{p|Mewtwo}}, who destroyed the mansion in its escape.

===Pokémon Lab===
{{main|Pokémon Lab}}
The Pokémon Lab is a laboratory located on Cinnabar Island. It was founded by [[Dr. Fuji]] and appears in the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]]. The first room of the Pokémon Lab has two people who will offer to [[trade]] Pokémon. The old man will offer his {{p|Electrode}} for a {{p|Raichu}}, and the girl will want to trade her {{p|Tangela}} for a {{p|Venonat}}. In the second room, there is [[Move Tutor|a man]] who will teach {{m|Metronome}} once to one of the {{player}}'s Pokémon; in Generation I, he gives away {{TM|35|Metronome}}. In the third room, there is a scientist who will revive the [[Fossil]]s the player obtained at [[Mt. Moon]] and from the [[Pewter City]] Museum and a person who will trade his {{p|Seel}} for a {{p|Ponyta}}. In [[Silph Co.]], there is a Pokémon Report stating that Pokémon Lab created {{p|Porygon}}.

===Volcano===
There is a volcano on Cinnabar Island which gives it its name. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], the volcano that appears on Cinnabar Island cannot be accessed. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the volcano is a prominent feature of the island, and is where the Cinnabar Gym is located, split into two sections. One is inside of the volcano, and has an arena suspended over the lava inside one of the chambers, while the other is atop the volcano's crater. In [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}}, three years after the events of [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}}, the volcano erupted on the island, destroying everything except for the [[Pokémon Center]]. What appeared to be a rain-filled crater could also be seen in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the exterior of the volcano can be scaled with {{m|Rock Climb}}. Judging by the maps of all four [[generation]]s, the volcano originated where the Gym once stood.

===Cinnabar Gym===
[[File:Cinnabar Gym FRLG.png|thumb|200px|right|Cinnabar Gym in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
{{main|Cinnabar Gym}}
The Cinnabar Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Cinnabar Island, it is based on {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Blaine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Volcano}}. The player is unable to enter the Gym at once; only when they obtain the {{key|I|Secret Key|Secret}} {{key|III|Secret Key|Key}} from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} can they unlock the door to the Gym. The Cinnabar Gym is a high-tech affair featuring a series of sealed doors. Trivia questions about various Pokémon must be answered to unseal the doors. However, when the player fails to answer a trivia question correctly, a battle with either a Burglar or Super Nerd results, an alternative to unsealing the doors. In Generations II and IV, Blaine's original Gym on Cinnabar Island was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. This forced him to relocate to a cave in the [[Seafoam Islands]].

==Demographics==
===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, before the destruction of the island in the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games, Cinnabar Island has a population of 36.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
Cinnabar Island has a population of 9, making it one of the smallest towns in the [[Pokémon world]]. The volcano eruption destroyed most of the island, with the [[Pokémon Center]] being the only building remaining.

==Differences between generations==
Cinnabar Island has changed dramatically between [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}} as the city has been totally replaced by a large erupted volcano, removing everything except for the [[Pokémon Center]]. After the eruption, the [[Gym]] was relocated to the [[Seafoam Islands]]. {{ga|Blue}} can be first found at Cinnabar Island, because he was in a bad mood and decided to take a stroll there. In [[Generation III]], there are a few changes with the visual design, as the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} and [[Pokémon Lab]] are slightly larger along with more sandy beach areas. The first and last questions in the Cinnabar Gym have also been changed slightly for clarification. In [[Generation IV]], the island stays much the same as [[Generation II]], although the volcano is now climbable by {{m|Rock Climb}}.

==In the spin-off games==
===In Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Cinnabar Island appears on the Red and Blue tables; catchable Pokémon include {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Grimer}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Tangela}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cinnabar Island volcano.png|thumb|200px|right|The opening to the volcano on Cinnabar Island in the anime]]
Cinnabar Island is considered a mere beach resort in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s skip the island entirely or go there for a break from {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. [[Blaine]] runs a hotel for tourists and wears a hippie disguise to hide his real identity as [[Gym Leader]]. His [[Gym]] is located inside of the volcano.

The Cinnabar Gym has two sections in the {{pkmn|anime}}; one is inside of the volcano, and has an arena suspended over the lava inside one of the chambers. The other arena is in the top crater of the volcano itself.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', {{Ash}} was trying to locate the Gym so he could challenge Blaine. He was told by a man who liked telling riddles that the Gym disappeared when Cinnabar Island became a tourist trap. However, the man eventually told Ash that Blaine built another Gym inside of a volcano. When Ash and {{ashfr}} went in, they learned that the riddler was actually Blaine in disguise. Ash and Blaine battled, but Ash had a series of misfortunes. The first was his {{AP|Squirtle}} being defeated by Blaine's {{p|Ninetales}}. Then, his {{AP|Charizard}} refused to listen to him. Finally, {{AP|Pikachu}} received severe burns caused by [[Blaine's Magmar]] and its powerful {{m|Fire Blast}}. Ash called off the battle, not wanting Pikachu to get injured. In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', after {{TRT}} had almost destroyed Blaine's Gym (and Cinnabar Island as a result), he agreed to a rematch on his alternate battlefield on top of the volcano. This time, Ash was able to defeat Blaine with the help of his Charizard and its {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Cinnabar Island debuted in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, where [[Team Rocket]] with their {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Magnemite}} were trying to hunt down [[Blaine]] because he had quit Team Rocket. He used his {{p|Arcanine}} and {{p|Rapidash}}. When he saw {{adv|Red}} he saved him from the cliff just as Team Rocket let out the {{p|Moltres}} they had captured earlier. Blaine told him to use his Rapidash to get to his lab and restore the [[Old Amber]].

Later when Red came back he was joined with an {{p|Aerodactyl}} that he had restored. They defeated Moltres and Team Rocket ran away.

==Trivia==
* Its Japanese motto is {{tt|グレンのあかはじょうねつのいろ|Guren no aka wa jouretsu no iro}} "''{{tt|Guren|Crimson}}'s red is the color of passion.''"
* Before [[Generation IV]], its English motto was "''The Fiery Town of Burning Desire''"
* It was long believed that Cinnabar Island once was the tip of a {{wp|stratovolcano}} or a {{wp|shield volcano}} since no mountain was visible on the island for the first three [[generation]]s. This was changed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} where a mountain stratovolcano is actually there and can be reached by using {{m|Rock Climb}}, indicating that lack of diverse scenery in the past games was the reason for no mountain being there. However, all map artworks throughout the generations have shown the volcano to be there.
* Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the [[Generation I]] games, such as the [[old man glitch]], due to programming oversights on the island's coast. There is also {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Man on roof|a trick to see a man on the roof}} of the [[Cinnabar Gym|Gym]]. However, both of these glitches were fixed in some regional versions.
* Unlike the localizations, in the Japanese versions, Cinnabar Island has two distinctive names: {{tt|グレンじま|Guren Jima}} ''Guren Island'' and {{tt|グレンタウン|Guren Taun}} ''Guren Town''. The former refers to the island itself, while the latter to the town on it. On the [[Town Map|map]], ironically, it is referred to as グレンじま ''Guren Island'' while the town exists (Generations I and III), and as グレンタウン ''Guren Town'' when the town has been destroyed (Generations II and IV). However, both Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}} and Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}} mention both on different occasions. The system of naming both the island and town is continued in the [[Sevii Islands]].
* Cinnabar Island is the only settlement with a [[Gym]] whose name ends in neither ''City'' nor ''Town''. Despite this, one of its Japanese names ends in ''Town''. However, there is no Gym here in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}} as it is located in the [[Seafoam Islands]] instead.
* Cinnabar Island and [[Vermilion City]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since {{tt|グレン|guren}} ''crimson'' refers to a shade of red while {{tt|クチバ|kuchiba}} ''vermilion'' refers to a shade of orange. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral cinnabar. This explains why Cinnabar Island is colored red while Vermilion City is colored orange in the [[Generation I]] games when played with the [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the [[Game Boy Color]] enhancements available in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}}.
* It is the southernmost location in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] that the player can {{m|Fly}} to.

'''Koga''' (Japanese: '''キョウ''' ''Kyō'') was the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of [[Fuchsia City]]'s [[Gym]]. He is a student of ninjutsu who specializes in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He handed out the {{Badge|Soul}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeated him.

He was promoted to a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Poison}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and became a member of the [[Johto]] [[Elite Four]], at some time after the events of [[Generation I]] and its remakes, but before the events of [[Generation II]] and its remakes, thus leaving his daughter, [[Janine]], in charge of the [[Fuchsia Gym]].

==In the games==

Koga, known as the Poisonous Ninja Master, serves two roles in the Pokémon games. In {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}} he is the Leader of the [[Fuchsia Gym]], but is promoted to a member of the [[Elite Four]] in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Koga is a user of the {{type|Poison}}; he likes the despair and horror that Poison-type Pokémon can inflict on others.

Koga has studied medicine and antidotes; he makes his own potions to heal his Pokémon. He also serves as a teacher. Many students come to him to be trained in the arts of {{wp|Ninjutsu}} and Pokémon. One of his students is his own daughter, [[Janine]], who takes over his Gym in the [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}} storyline. In addition to these roles, Koga also patrols the grounds of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], to ensure that the players of the Safari Game are safe from the [[wild Pokémon]] within.

In [[Generation I]]/{{gen|III}}, Koga's Gym is typically the fifth to be challenged. He has built invisible walls in the Fuchsia City Gym, constructing a confusing maze out of them. Koga awaits challengers in the center of the maze, clearly visible, but a group of {{tc|Juggler}}s and {{tc|Tamer}}s—Koga's students—must be fought first. Defeating him will earn the successful Trainer {{TM|06|Toxic}} and the {{Badge|Soul}}.

With the future of the Gym in his daughter's hands, Koga advances to a role in the Pokémon League of Kanto and Johto before the events of Generation II/IV. In these games, he is the second member of the Elite Four to be faced. The team he uses in this role is similar to his Gym Leader's teams; the main difference is the introduction of {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon not native to Kanto}}. Koga's battle style as an Elite Four member is designed to confound and destroy his opponent in battle. Rather than using brute force, Koga attempts to [[status ailment|confuse, put to sleep, and poison]] his opponent.

===In the main series===
[[File:Koga anime.png|thumb|left|215px|Koga in the anime]]
[[File:Koga Best Wishes.png|thumb|215px|Koga in the {{series|Best Wishes}} flashback]]
Koga's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''.

Koga is a ninja who trains in an old mansion, the Fuchsia City Gym, in the woods outside Fuchsia City. The Gym is filled with traps such as fake mirrors, invisible walls, pits, and many {{p|Voltorb}}. {{an|Aya}}, Koga's younger sister, is one of his students.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} managed to overcome the traps in the Gym and Ash was finally able to challenge Koga. Although [[Ash's Pidgeotto]] initially lost to Koga's newly-evolved {{p|Venomoth}}, prompting Ash to call out {{AP|Charmander}}, their match was interrupted when {{TRT}} tried to steal Koga's large supply of Voltorb, although they had raided the Gym with the intent of getting {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. Team Rocket was stopped by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, allowing Ash and Koga to have a rematch. Pitting Charmander against Koga's {{TP|Koga|Golbat}}, Ash triumphed and won the {{Badge|Soul}}.

Koga appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

The battle was interrupted by {{TRT}}, and afterwards, Koga offered to trade Venomoth to {{an|Misty}} for her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, but she declined.

Venomoth's known moves are {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}.}}

Team Rocket attempted to steal the Voltorb from the Gym, and {{MTR}} used these Pokémon as exploding bowling balls and threw them at the heroes.

The Voltorb's known moves are {{m|Self-Destruct}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which they usually use when a trap is set off.}}

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Koga Aya EToP.png|thumb|right|Koga and Aya in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Koga makes a cameo appearance in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga in the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

In the manga, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} get trapped in [[Fuchsia Gym|Koga's Gym]] while searching for the [[Hidden Village]] with [[Ash's Pikachu]], a {{p|Charmander}}, a {{p|Squirtle}}, a {{p|Kangaskhan}} and {{ka|Tommy}}. Their battle is only shown briefly in a montage sequence and it is unknown whether Team Rocket was victorious or not. It is also never shown if {{Ash}} himself battles Koga.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
Koga makes a brief cameo in ''[[PPP13|The Wal Comes Tumbling Down]]''. [[Walnut]], an aspiring ninja master, mentions that Koga is a big inspiration to him.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Koga Adventures.png|120px|left|thumb|Koga in Pokémon Adventures]]
Koga was one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and served under {{adv|Giovanni}}.

Koga debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' searching the {{evostone|Moon Stone}} in [[Mt. Moon]], here Koga fights with {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty]] and forces his Rhyhorn to evolve with a mysterious injection, revealing what happened to Misty's Gyarados when it was kidnapped, however the mission fails. Koga later tries to bump off Red in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]], where he uses a Gastly to reanimate the corpses of dead Pokémon buried there. He also attacks Red with his Arbok. However, {{adv|Blue}} has his {{p|Charmeleon}} slice Arbok in half. Under his boss's orders, he captures {{p|Articuno}} and brings it to [[Saffron City]]. He is once again defeated by Blue at [[Silph Co.]], albeit that he almost killed both of them by not allowing them to reach their Poké Balls by using his Muk, then almost freezing them to death with his Articuno. After he is defeated and knocked out Red gets Koga's Soul Badge and Blue uses his special Golbat to find out where [[Team Rocket]] is holding his grandfather.

Later, Koga helps the [[Pallet Town]] Trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] at [[Cerise Island]]. Koga is paired with Blue and battles Agatha, but Blue first returns his Golbat to him. When the two of them finally meet Agatha, she separates them, making Blue and Koga's Golbat that he got paired up with again face Agatha's Golbat. Meanwhile, Koga's Arbok had to face Agatha's Arbok which could change its patterns allowing it to gain the upper hand over Koga. When Blue was paralyzed from a Haunter's Lick, Koga started throwing his shuriken balls. Agatha thought this was a desperate tactic, but in reality they were Pokémon holding Parlyz Heals. Koga was hoping just one of them would get to Blue, which it did. Blue then joins him, and Koga commands his Golbat to use Leech Life on himself. His blood is then put on Arbok's torso to prevent its ability to change its pattern. Without Arbok's ability, Agatha was defeated.

Or so it seemed. In reality, Agatha just pretended to be defeated and had [[Agatha's Gengar|her Gengar]] masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly suck the life out of them hidden due to Koga's quick loss of blood. After traveling through the maze for a while, they found themselves back where they started with Agatha nowhere to be found. They then figured out her plan and defeated the Gengar, but not before Koga is nearly swept in the collapsing terrain of the destroyed battleground. He narrowly escapes using his {{p|Muk}} to defend him in his wounded state.

Unlike the other two Rocket Admins, who were instructed to return and manage their Gyms, Koga was not even reached by Giovanni. He then disappears for a time, leaving his daughter [[Janine]] in charge of the Gym. Janine is worried for her father, but opposes his criminal ties. Later in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, Koga reappeared with a new partner, [[Bruno]], who had saved Koga when Cerise was about to collapse. They trained together for a while and both of them later met their former opponents Red and Blue, whose Rhydon was drilling underground towards [[Ilex Forest]]. Towards the end of the series, Koga and Bruno found [[Will]] and [[Karen]] in the Ilex Forest and persuaded them to work together. The new Elite Four was formed, but were not seen in action until the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

Two of Koga's Pokémon have unusual powers: his Arbok can regenerate itself as long as its head remains intact (see above); and his unusually small Golbat's mouth can be used almost like a magic mirror for {{wp|scry}}ing to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way. Blue takes this Golbat and keeps it for quite some time before returning it to Koga at Cerise Island.

Koga also uses custom-made [[Poké Ball]]s which can be thrown as {{wp|shuriken}}—perhaps an inspiration for [[Falkner]]’s later boomerang Poké Balls.

====Pokémon====

Surge]], Koga and [[Sabrina]], it was merged with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} to create [[Thu-Fi-Zer]] after Sabrina took matters into her own hands.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Koga PM.png|thumb|Koga in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
[[File:Koga PM 2.png|thumb|left|Koga as a Johto Elite Four member]]
Koga first appears in ''[[PM015|Save The Chansey!!]]'' as a character with greed.

He hires a Chansey torturer to kidnap the {{p|Chansey}} as they were valuable to him, something he only cared about. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} sneaks in with {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} to take the Chansey. After getting caught though, Koga releases {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Grimer}} to stall Red and his Pokémon. However, Clefairy defeats them both, one by one, and rescues the Chansey.

In ''[[PM019|Aim to be the No. 1 Pokémon!!]]'', he was revealed to have registered for the No. 1 Pokémon Contest. His did not have his greed this time and it wore off since then. Koga participates with Ninetales but loses since Ninetales did not dazzle the audience.

After Red's travels in Johto, Koga is revealed to have joined the Johto Elite Four in ''[[PM105|A Challenge to the Elite Four!]]''. He, along with [[Will]] and [[Bruno]] fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemly defeated by [[Karen]]. Red ask them what happened, but Koga ask him to ask Karen herself. It is later revealed that after being exhausted from training, Karen decided to tell them a joke, and they fell down the building after hearing her dumb joke.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Koga|40}} appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion pack of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* Koga is the only male {{type|Poison}} specialist.
* In the manga [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the ninja-in-training [[Walnut]] is an admirer of Koga.
* Out of the original Generation I Gym Leaders, Koga has the fewest Trainer cards in the Gym Leader sets of the TCG. Incidentally, his [[Koga's Ninja Trick (Gym Challenge 115)|only Trainer card]] besides the basic Koga card had to be edited because it featured a {{wp|manji}}, which could have caused controversy between cultures; the infamous Nazi {{wp|swastika}} is a reversed manji.
* Because he became a member of the [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation II]], he is technically the first member of the Elite Four seen in the anime, though he was not a member at the time he was shown. He is also the only one Ash defeated in battle (again, however, it was as a Gym Leader).
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the {{tc|Ninja Boy}} on Route 217 mentions different kinds of ninja in the world. He says, "There are several kinds of ninjas. Are you an Iga or a Kouga ninja?" This is a reference to the two main schools of ninjutsu, Iga-ryu and Kōga-ryu, the latter of which Koga himself is named after.
* Koga's {{game|Yellow}} [[party|team]] is of a higher level than his [[Elite Four]] team in Gold, Silver, and Crystal and HeartGold and SoulSilver during the first match with him.
* His {{p|Venomoth}} doesn't appear in games that have [[Sabrina]] using a Venomoth in her team.
* Koga, [[Bruno]], [[Lance]], and [[Caitlin]] are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in more than one generation (excluding [[remake]]s).
** Koga, Bruno, and Lance are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all the generations prior to [[Generation V]].
* Koga's updated [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] artwork for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} has him in a pose identical to that of his daughter Janine's in her VS artwork, only reversed.
* Koga is the first Elite Four member who was introduced in an earlier generation and then attained the title in a later generation. The second is [[Caitlin]].
* Koga is the only Gym Leader introduced up until that point, that does not appear in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This is due to his status as an [[Elite Four]] member in the Generation II and IV games.
* If the player uses a GameShark or a similar cheating device to encounter [[.g]], then the player will fight Koga, who has a .g as part of his group of Pokémon. (This is only in Red/Green/Blue)
