Dedinho910: /* Changes from Scarlet and Violet and Generation VIII */ this info was kinda redundant, and made reading annoying; so I removed it.

'''Pokémon Champions''' (Japanese: '''{{Ruby|Pokémon|ポケモン}} {{Ruby|Champions|チャンピオンズ}}''') is a {{wp|Freemium|free-to-start}} [[side series]] Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo Switch]], {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, and {{wp|Android}}. It allows players to {{pkmn|battle}} using the same mechanics as the [[core series]] games, including [[type]]s, {{Abilities}}, and [[move]]s. The game was released worldwide on April 8, 2026 on the Nintendo Switch.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zones, the game was released on April 7, 2026 in North America, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day#2025|Pokémon Day]], February 27, 2025, at 11 P.M. JST via a [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2025|Pokémon Presents]]. It is playable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European and Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

On the Nintendo Switch, both a free-to-start version and a paid '''Pokémon Champions + Starter Pack''' (Japanese: '''『Pokémon Champions』 + スターターパック''' ''Pokémon Champions + Starter Pack'') bundle are available.

==Gameplay==
===Features===
* Like in the [[Battle Stadium]] in the Nintendo Switch core series games, the game features both a Ranked Battle and a Casual Battle mode. It also features a Private Battle mode for battles with family and friends.
* Players can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] their Pokémon through the use of a new item called the [[Omni Ring]]. Artwork of this item and the Pokémon Champions website suggest that other techniques, such as [[Z-Move]]s, [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]], and {{Tera}}stallization, will also be supported in the future.<ref>[https://champions.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Champions | The Omni Ring—A Battle Essential!] "Other special features may be added to the Omni Ring in the future! Research is being conducted to make the Omni Ring capable of drawing out a variety of Pokémon capabilities."</ref>
* New Abilities are introduced for some of the Mega Evolutions introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}: {{a|Dragonize}}, {{a|Mega Sol}}, {{a|Piercing Drill}}, and {{a|Spicy Spray}}.
* Only a select pool of Pokémon, moves, and held items was made available at the release.
* Players are capable of seeing in-game how often certain held items, moves, etc., are used on specific Pokémon.

===Changes from Scarlet and Violet and Generation VIII=== 
* Moves that the target Pokémon is doubly weak to or doubly resists are now listed as "extremely effective" and "mostly ineffective", respectively, and have their own icons for such as well, rather than being grouped with regular "super effective" and "not very effective" modifiers.
* [[Level]] is not displayed, with Pokémon stats being calculated as if they were level 50.
* [[Individual values]] cannot be modified in-game,<ref>https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-champions-will-take-a-key-stat-out-of-its-battle-equation/1100-6538998/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f</ref> with the Pokémon stats being calculated as if they had 31 IVs in all stats.
* [[Effort value]]s are replaced by the new [[Stat Point]]s system. In certain circumstances,  it is possible to increase stats by one point more than the effort values allow.
* Items triggering now causes a pop-up banner to show up (like with Abilities), displaying the item's sprite.
* Stat alterations (such as {{a|Intimidate}}'s {{stat|Attack}} reduction) are now resolved on both opposing Pokémon at once, rather than one by one.
* Effects that raise or lower multiple stats at once (such as {{m|Parting Shot}}) now only display one message for all the raised or lowered stats, rather than an individual one for each stat.
* Several status conditions were made weaker:
** {{status|Freeze|Frozen}} Pokémon now have a 25% chance to naturally thaw out each turn instead of 20%, and will always thaw out after three turns.
** {{status|Paralysis}} now has only 1/8 chance to prevent affected Pokémon from acting, rather than 1/4.
** {{status|Sleep}} now lasts 2-3 turns instead of 2-4, with a 2/3 chance to last three turns and a 1/3 chance to last two turns.
* {{a|Unseen Fist}} now deals only 25% damage on protecting targets instead of 100%.
* Several moves were modified:
** {{m|Apple Acid}}, {{m|Fire Lash}}, {{m|Grav Apple}}, and {{m|Spirit Shackle}} had their base power increased from 80 to 90.
** {{m|Beak Blast}} and {{m|Mountain Gale}} had their base power increased from 100 to 120.
** {{m|Bone Rush}}, {{m|Infernal Parade}} and {{m|Night Daze}} had their base power increased by 5 each, totaling 30, 65, 90, respectively.
** {{m|Crabhammer}} and {{m|Syrup Bomb}} had their accuracy increased by 5 each, totaling 95% and 90%, respectively.
** {{m|Crush Claw}}, {{m|Dragon Claw}}, and {{m|Shadow Claw}} are now considered to be [[slicing move]]s.
** {{m|Dire Claw}}'s secondary effect chance was lowered from 50% to 30%. It is also now considered a slicing move.
** {{m|Dragon Cheer}} is now considered a [[sound-based move]].
** {{m|Fake Out}} and {{m|First Impression}} can no longer be used after the turn the user switches into the battle; if the user is forced to use them when ineligible via effects such as {{m|Encore}}, it will instead use {{m|Struggle}}.
** {{m|First Impression}} had its base power increased from 90 to 100.
** {{m|Freeze-Dry}} can no longer inflict {{status|freeze}}.
** {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Moonblast}}'s secondary effect chances were lowered from 30% to 20% and 10%, respectively.
** {{m|Psyshield Bash}}'s base power was increased from 70 to 90.
** {{m|Salt Cure}}'s passive damage was halved, dealing 1/16 of target's maximum HP per turn normally, and 1/8 against Water and Steel types.
** {{m|Snap Trap}} had its type changed from Grass to Steel.
** {{m|Toxic Thread}} now lowers Speed by two stages rather than one.
** {{m|Trop Kick}}'s base power was increased from 70 to 85.
* If a Pokémon is forced to use a different move than selected due to Encore, it will now perform that move at its usual priority, rather than of the move that was selected.
* [[PP]] of moves is now set to fixed values of 8, 12, 16, and 20, if their base PP values in Scarlet and Violet (or Generation VIII) were 5, 10, 15, or at least 20, respectively (although the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOfW-qdsvpU pre-release overview trailer] showcases moves with their previous PP values). However, certain moves appear to have those base values modified, causing values different than expected in Champions:
** {{m|Baneful Bunker}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Spiky Shield}} have 8 PP instead of 12, matching {{m|Detect}}.
** {{m|Beak Blast}} has 8 PP instead of 16.
** {{m|Night Slash}} has 20 PP instead of 16.
** {{m|Sandstorm}} and {{m|Snowscape}} have 8 PP instead of 12, matching {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}.


==Connectivity==
[[File:CP Connectivity demo.jpg|300px|thumb|left|News banner detailing connectitity to Pokémon Champions]]
Pokémon Champions can connect with [[Pokémon HOME]], allowing for use of Pokémon from the [[core series]] games and {{g|GO}}, though this is limited to Pokémon that appear in Pokémon Champions. Pokémon originally obtained in Pokémon Champions cannot be deposited in Pokémon HOME. A Pokémon sent to Champions from HOME is referred to as "visiting" Pokémon Champions, and must be received through the Recruit menu in order to be used in the game. The Recruit menu is also used to send Pokémon back to HOME.

When a Pokémon is sent to visit Champions for the first time [[Effort Values]] (converted to the new Stat Point system), stat alignment (from either its [[Nature]] or [[Mint]]), and the moveset of the most recently visited game are carried over. Any changes in Champions are not reflected when the Pokémon is sent back to HOME, and any subsequent changes in another game will not affect the data in Champions. The way effort values are converted to Stat Points matches how EV training works at level 50 with an odd [[Individual values|IV]]: 4 EVs for the first Stat Point in a stat and 8 EVs for each additional Stat Point. Therefore a Pokémon fully EV trained in 3 or 4 stats will have a maximum of 65 Stat Points when transferred and be able to earn on additional Stat Point in Champions. Pokémon EV trained in 5 or 6 stats will already be able to be transferred with 66 Stat Points.

==Downloadable content==
In addition to [[Shop (Champions)#Premium Shop|certain in-app purchases]], the game offers the '''Pokémon Champions + Starter Pack''' bundle as downloadable content which provides the player with certain in-game benefits.

Draft:List of in-game trade Pokémon in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

2026-04-12T22:56:21Z

Dedinho910: /* Haden */ nickname was wrong

This is a '''list of Pokémon obtainable from [[in-game trade]]s found in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'''.

While Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen do not have [[contest]]s, these Pokémon all have one [[Contest condition]] that is raised by 30 while the others are all raised by 5. However, they all have a [[sheen]] of 10. While [[original Trainer]] names are not highlighted in color in FireRed and LeafGreen, they will appear colored by gender if [[trade]]d to [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], or {{v2|Emerald}}, or [[transfer]]red to a [[Generation IV]] game.

==List of Pokémon==
===Dontae===
In [[Cerulean City]], in a residential house located to the west of the Pokémon Center, an older man named '''Dontae''' (Japanese: '''もりべー''' ''Moribē'') will trade his {{p|Jynx}}, '''Zynx''' (Japanese: '''コリンダ''' ''Corinda''), for a {{p|Poliwhirl}}.

'''Mega Sol''' (Japanese: '''メガソーラー''' ''Mega Solar'') is an [[Ability]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in {{g|Champions}}. It is the [[signature Ability]] of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Meganium}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Mega Sol causes all moves used by the Pokémon to behave as if [[harsh sunlight]] was activated. This means that, when used by the Pokémon:
* {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Solar Blade}} will never need a turn to charge.
* {{m|Growth}} will always increase {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} by two stages each.
* {{m|Weather Ball}} will always be used as a {{type|Fire}} move with base power 100.
* {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, and {{m|Moonlight}} will always restore ⅔ of the Pokémon's max {{stat|HP}}.
* {{m|Thunder}} and {{m|Hurricane}} will have 50% accuracy.

==Trivia==
* Prior to its introduction in {{g|Champions}}, Mega Sol was referenced in [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Meganium}}'s [[Pokédex entry]] from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, despite the lack of [[Ability|Abilities]].
** When using certain [[Plus Move|Plus Moves]] based on [[Move|moves]] affected by [[harsh sunlight]], they will have their effects as if it was sunny. The reference to Mega Sol in the previously mentioned Pokédex entry refers to a {{m|Solar Beam}} used by Mega Meganium as a Plus Move as "Mega Sol Cannon".

'''Marshadow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マーシャドー''' ''Marshadow'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Ghost}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

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

Marshadow was officially revealed on April 7, 2017. In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] before its expansion in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. In the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', it is associated with {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

==Biology==
{{incomplete|section|Image of Marshadow stretching out its arms in ''I Choose You!''}}
Marshadow is a humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears to be made of smoky gray shadows. The area around its face resembles headgear, such as a helmet. On top of the helmet are two curled horns or ears with a wispy horn between them. Its eyes are orange-red with yellow pupils, and above each eye is a yellow, oval marking. Each arm has a small bump on the wrist. Around its neck is a smoky collar, and there is a trail of shadows on each foot.

Very few people have ever seen Marshadow, having been left undiscovered for so long that its existence has been the stuff of [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]]. Marshadow is a cautious Pokémon and can sink into the shadows to ensure it is not noticed. While hiding in the shadows of others, it can understand their feelings and even copy their abilities. Through mimicry, it will eventually become more powerful than those it imitates. It can even learn the ultimate technique of martial arts masters it copies. In [[Lumiose City]], an online account called [[Hex Maniac (Trainer class)|Hex Maniac]] Channel discovered a Marshadow hiding in the shadow of [[Prism Tower]], but referred to it as a "ghostly child". As seen in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', Marshadow is also capable of causing nightmares. In the same movie, it is shown to be able to shapeshift and stretch out its arms like shadows. While corrupted by the [[Rainbow Feather]], it can even take control of countless Pokémon with the power of its shadows.

Marshadow is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Spectral Thief}}. It is also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike}}.

===Forms===
When it is angered or attacking, Marshadow's fighting spirit will begin to burn,<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/marshadow/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Marshadow] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190216131710mp_/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/marshadow/ archived])</ref> and it will turn into '''Zenith Marshadow''' (Japanese: '''ぜんりょくのマーシャドー''' ''Full-Powered Marshadow'').<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2025/04/250425_to03.html 「Pokémon fit」シリーズに、アローラ地方のポケモンが新登場！| Pokémon.co.jp]</ref> In this state, its headgear, wrist bumps, and collar flare up and resemble green and yellow flames. Marshadow's eyes also flare up when in this state, but do not change in color.

Marshadow debuted in a major role in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where it was revealed to be a guide from the shadows who leads those chosen by {{an|Ho-Oh}} to be the Rainbow Hero.

===Minor appearances===
Marshadow made its animated series debut in ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', where {{Rotom}} wanted to record its data, but couldn't due to it not being inside its [[Rotom Pokédex|Pokédex]]. Another {{p|Rotom}} inhabiting the Pokédex managed to take a blurry picture of the Marshadow, but deleted it afterwards.

==Trivia==
[[File:Shiny Marshadow Comparison.png|thumb|250px|A normal Zenith Marshadow (left) and a Shiny Zenith Marshadow (right)]]
* Marshadow's {{Shiny}} coloration is distinct, only appearing during certain animations and attacks as Zenith Marshadow.
** In [[Generation VII]], without transforming, the difference between the two colorations in its normal state can be seen on the bulb of Marshadow's head, being either green leaning or purple leaning depending on the form.
** However, in {{g|HOME}}, Shiny Marshadow is always visually distinct, having slightly lighter colours than its regular counterpart. This can be most easily seen in its eyes.

</gallery>
* Marshadow's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of two {{stat|Attack}} and one {{stat|Speed}} is unique.
* Marshadow's Japanese name and its romanization were revealed on April 10, 2016 as a result of its trademark filing.{{fact}}
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Marshadow has a base [[experience]] yield of 120.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, {{p|Shiinotic}} is defined internally as a Mythical Pokémon instead of Marshadow. This is likely due to a typo between their internal names, with '''マシェード''' ''MASHEEDO'' (Shiinotic) being mistaken for '''マーシャドー''' ''MAASYADOO'' (Marshadow).<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1613414136079323137</ref> As neither Pokémon appear in the game, this has no effect on gameplay.
* Although Marshadow does not appear in Scarlet and Violet, [[Raifort]]'s hair pin resembles its face.

===Origin===
Marshadow may be based on the {{wp|shadowboxing}} exercise. It also shares traits with {{wp|Nightmarchers}} and {{wp|Menehune}} from {{wp|Hawaiian religion|Hawaiian mythology}}.

====Name origin====

Marshadow may be a combination of ''martial arts'', ''{{wp|nightmarchers|nightmarcher}}'', and ''shadow''.

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day#2024|February 27th, 2024]], at 14:00 UTC, through a [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2024|Pokémon Presents]]. It was released worldwide on [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 16, 2025. A [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition, known as '''Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition''', released at the same time as both a physical release and a downloadable [[upgrade pack]]. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features enhanced resolution and frame rates compared to the base version. All copies of the game are playable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. It is the first core series game with a {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish translation.

The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] was revealed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on September 12, 2025.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game is set entirely in [[Lumiose City]], five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>'''NPC:''' "The incident with [[Team Flare]] five years ago sent shock waves through the whole of [[Kalos]]." (Pokémon Legends: Z-A)</ref> A large corporation called [[Quasartico Inc.]] leads an urban redevelopment plan for Lumiose City, aiming to make it a city where humans and Pokémon can live in harmony.

Six months prior to the events of the game, the first instance of [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], a phenomenon where Pokémon undergo [[Mega Evolution]] without a Trainer, occurs in Lumiose City. In the aftermath, Quasartico Inc., following words of advisement from [[AZ]], creates the [[Z-A Royale]] in order to find the strongest Mega Evolution user.

The {{player}} arrives in Lumiose City and is immediately introduced to [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], who allows them to choose a [[first partner Pokémon]], guides them through a night of [[Z-A Royale]], and leads them to [[Hotel Z]], where the player officially becomes part of [[Team MZ]]. As the player rises through the ranks of Z-A Royale, they also are tasked with dealing with the instances of Rogue Mega Evolutions popping all throughout Lumiose City.

After the player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A, Team MZ attempts to quell [[Ange]], a special device built by AZ 2,000 years ago inside of [[Prism Tower]], which was improperly activated due to the previous usage of the [[ultimate weapon]]. Urbain/Taunie Mega Evolves {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} [[AZ's Floette|Floette]] in order to control Ange, but this works only momentarily, as the device turns into Hyperrogue Ange Floette, destroying Prism Tower in the process. The player, assisted by other Trainers they met in the Z-A Royale and {{p|Zygarde}} {{form|Zygarde|Complete Form}}, finally stop Ange, protecting Lumiose City from the threat of Rogue Mega Evolution.

After the credits, AZ is revealed to have died moments after Ange had been stopped. Quasartico Inc. carries out the combined wishes of the player and Urbain/Taunie, which also had been asked by AZ, and allow for the Z-A Royale to exist indefinitely through the [[Z-A Royale|Infinite Z-A Royale]]. The player works out with [[Mable]] and [[Team Flare Nouveau]] in order to track down and catch {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, which were attracted to Lumiose City by Ange, and then is recognized as worthy by Zygarde, who allows them to catch it. After Urbain/Taunie becomes the CEO of Quasartico Inc., they {{pkmn2|gift}} Eternal Flower Floette to the player.

==Features==
===Battle mechanics===
{{main|Pokémon battle (Legends: Z-A)}}
Unlike other core series games, which use a turn-based battle system, Pokémon Legends: Z-A uses a real-time combat system where Trainers and their Pokémon can move around a 3D space which adapts various gameplay features from {{g|UNITE}}.

The similar features presented here along with new mechanics include precise timing of when to swap out Pokémon or use their [[move]]s, moves hitting specific areas of the field, and a [[cooldown]] feature in place of [[PP]], with a different length of time for each move. The moves now use precise button commands with the A, B, X, or Y buttons when locked on to a target, which can be customized.

[[Status move]]s that affects stats are now only limited to a one level change and will wear off after a short time, which the aura that it represents disappearing once the time limit is reached.

Unlike in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, [[held item]]s, including {{Berries}}, are present in the game.

===Catching Pokémon===
[[Wild Pokémon]] can be encountered throughout Lumiose City. Many of them appear in "wild zones", areas of the city specifically designated as places for Pokémon to live. Similar to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, players can attempt to catch Pokémon without having to {{pkmn|battle}} them, though battling them and lowering their HP will improve the odds of a successful catch.

A new mechanic is featured where if the wild Pokémon runs out of HP, it will become briefly stunned, allowing the player a few seconds to catch it before it vanishes. If the catch fails, the wild Pokémon will vanish.

===Friend===
Either [[Urbain]] or [[Taunie]] will appear as the player's [[friend]] depending on the [[Gender|appearance]] chosen for the [[player character]] at the beginning of the game. Players with a {{ga|Paxton|male appearance}} will meet Taunie, while players with a {{ga|Harmony|female appearance}} will meet Urbain. The player's friend works at [[Hotel Z]], where they support the hotel's owner, [[AZ]].

The game features {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Totodile}} as [[first partner Pokémon]]. The player's friend will use both of the Pokémon that the player did not choose as their first partner.

Later in the story, Taunie/Urbain will invite the player to join [[Team MZ]], who aim to protect Lumiose City and have been tasked with battling the Rogue [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon running wild around the city.

===Rogue Mega Evolutions===
{{main|Rogue Mega Evolution}}
The battles against the [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]s use a similar system as the [[noble Pokémon]] battles from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. The player has to dodge attacks from Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon in real time and launch attacks to deplete the Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon's health bar and cause them to drop orbs of Mega Power. Gathering Mega Power will fill its meter and allow the player to induce Mega Evolution on their own Pokémon. The meter will then slowly drain, but the player is able to gather more Mega Power to keep the meter from draining; the meter will enter a cooldown mode once it has been drained.

===Z-A Royale===
The [[Z-A Royale]] is a competition held at night in Lumiose City in [[Battle zone (Lumiose City)|battle zones]]. Participating Pokémon Trainers start at Rank Z, and can rank up by defeating other Trainers in promotion matches to progress to Rank A. It is said that Trainers who reach Rank A may have one wish granted.

===New Pokémon forms===
[[Eternal Flower Floette]] is available for the first time after being introduced 12 years before in [[Pokémon X and Y]].

===Pokémon mechanics===
[[Mega Evolution]] returns for the first time in a [[core series]] game since {{LGPE}}.

{{pkmn2|Wild}} [[alpha Pokémon]] make their return from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, behaving and looking similarly to as they did in that game.

{{Abilities}}, {{pkmn|breeding}}, and {{pkmn|Egg}}s are not available in this game.

===Connectivity===
The game is planned to receive [[Pokémon HOME]] compatibility at some point in 2026. However, Pokémon caught or transferred to Pokémon Legends: Z-A cannot be sent to previous Nintendo Switch titles. Similar to previous Pokémon titles on the Nintendo Switch, only Pokémon available in this game can be transferred into it.

==Reception==
The game sold 5.80 million copies in its launch week.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-legends-z-a-has-super-effective-start-already-selling-5-8-million-copies/1100-6535676/ Pokemon Legends: Z-A Has Super-Effective Start, Already Selling 5.8 Million Copies - GameSpot]</ref>

==Version history==
The game file size for the download version is dependent on the system that the game is downloaded on, irrespective of the edition owned. In other words, downloading the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of the game on a [[Nintendo Switch 2]] will still consume the same amount of storage space as the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade pack only consumes approximately 3 MB of additional space.<ref name="Nintendo eShop AU">https://ec.nintendo.com/AU/en/aocs/70050000058351</ref>

|'''Fixes Applied for the Following Issues'''
* If your Pokémon Boxes became full before the first Rogue Mega Evolution battle and the Boxes menu had not been opened at any point prior to being filled, Pokémon catch attempts would always fail. Additionally, if a side mission that allows you to receive Pokémon was attempted under these conditions, the mission would be completed without granting the Pokémon.
* In certain side missions, if the time of day switched between daytime and nighttime at the exact moment that a move hit its target, it became impossible to hit the target afterward, rendering the side mission incapable of being progressed further.
* In Trainer battles, if the opposing Trainer switched Pokémon and the player simultaneously activated Mega Evolution, the game may have become unplayable because the opposing Trainer failed to send out a new Pokémon.
* Other minor issues have also been fixed.

'''Ranked Battles Balance Adjustments'''
* To prevent points from decreasing based on match outcomes, points awarded according to ranking have been adjusted.
* Battle rewards have been partially increased and added to the rewards received after each match.

If the physical Nintendo Switch version is played on a Nintendo Switch 2, then the patch downloads will also contain the data for the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack, resulting in extra data being downloaded. If the physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is inserted into the Switch 2 console instead, then the Upgrade Pack contents will not be downloaded.

==Trivia==
* This is the first core series game:
** To be rated E10+ by the {{wp|Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB}}.
** To use real-time combat.
** To include letters from the Latin alphabet in its official Chinese name, as {{g|X and Y}} were never officially translated to Chinese.
** To have its [[Mega Dimension|DLC]] be revealed before the release of the base game and also the first instance of [[core series]] DLC releasing in the same calendar year as the base game.
** In which there is no way for the player to travel directly across water, such as {{m|Surf}} or [[Poké Ride]].
** In which the main [[rival]] gets both [[first partner Pokémon]] that the player does not pick.
** In which a Pokémon can legitimately exceed [[level]] 100.
** In which {{p|Mewtwo}} is present without {{p|Mew}}.
** In which [[weather]] is a mechanic, but no weather-setting move is available.
*** It also is the first core series game to only feature one weather condition in battle, namely [[rain]].
**To completely exclude the [[Psyduck (Pokémon)|Psyduck]] evolutionary family.
* This is the first original core series game since {{B2W2}} to not introduce any new Pokémon species at the time of its release, and the second overall.
* This is the first Pokémon game to receive an [[upgrade pack]] and accompanying [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition.
* All Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] are in the base game of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. No new Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IX]] appear in the game until the release of the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC.
* With the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, every Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] is present in at least one of the Nintendo Switch core series games.
** Before this game, the {{p|Patrat}} [[evolution]]ary line, the [[elemental monkeys]], and {{p|Furfrou}} were the only remaining Pokémon to have not been present in a Nintendo Switch core series game.
** Despite this, the National Pokédex in [[Pokémon HOME]] still cannot be completed using the Nintendo Switch games alone, since {{p|Spinda}} cannot be moved in or out of {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} due to the [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|spot pattern glitches]] and therefore has to be [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]].

The '''Slowpoke Tail''' (Japanese: '''{{j|おいしいシッポ}}''' ''Tasty Tail''), formatted '''SlowpokeTail''' prior to [[Generation VI]], is a [[valuable item]] exclusive to the [[Generation II]] games. They are the severed tails of {{p|Slowpoke}}.

Although the item exists in the game data of most core series games from [[Generation IV]] onward, and is otherwise referenced in many other games, it can only be obtained in the Generation II games.

Later, the player discovers [[Team Rocket]] harvesting Slowpoke Tails from Slowpoke in the [[Slowpoke Well]] in [[Azalea Town]]. After Team Rocket is defeated, the man in Route 32 disappears.

In {{g|X and Y}}, Slowpoke Tail is one of the dishes served by {{DL|Lumiose City restaurants|Restaurant Le Yeah}} in [[Lumiose City]].

In the {{g|Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version}}, a {{tc|Police Officer}} at the [[Hau'oli City]] Marina stakes out what he believes is a Slowpoke Tail deal; instead, the meeting is simply two people fawning over each other's Slowpoke.

Additionally, Slowpoke's [[Pokédex entry]] in Pokémon Sun states that its tail often breaks off without harming the Slowpoke, and that it grows back later, whereas its Pokémon Moon Pokédex entry states that dried Slowpoke tails are often used in [[Alola]]n home-cooked stews.

The '''sixth generation'''<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?m=201301 Hidden Power of Masuda]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{tt|第６世代|だい６せだい}}''' ''sixth generation'',<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?m=201301 増田部長のめざめるパワー]</ref> rendered as {{tt|第六世代|だいろくせだい}} among fans) of [[Pokémon]], commonly referred to by fans as '''Generation VI''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|世代|いちせだい}}ＶＩ}}''' ''Generation VI''), is the sixth installment of the Pokémon video game series, starting with {{g|X and Y}} in 2013 and concluding with {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} in 2014. This generation saw the debut of 72 new Pokémon species (for a total of 721), as well as the introduction of the [[Kalos]] region and the return of the [[Hoenn]] region. The games of the sixth generation are in full 3D and are presented on the [[Nintendo 3DS]], a first for the [[core series]].

==History==
The sixth generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of {{g|X and Y}} on January 8, 2013. These games were released internationally in October of the same year; the [[Pokémon the Series: XY|tie-in anime series]] began airing one week later. Pokémon X and Y continued the established tradition of two paired games with slight variations between the two versions. Between them, these games introduced 72 new Pokémon species, 57 new moves, and 26 new Abilities. New gameplay advances were added, including a new battle mechanic called [[Mega Evolution]]. Among other changes, the games' {{DL|Type|type chart}} was modified for the first time since [[Generation II]], some twelve years earlier: {{t|Ghost}}- and {{type|Dark}} moves now have normal effectiveness against {{type|Steel}}s and a new {{t|Fairy}} type has been introduced.

The second pairing of games in Generation VI was announced on May 7, 2014. {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, which are [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, were released worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS in November 2014.

The Generation VI games are not isolated from previous iterations and can communicate with the [[Generation V|fifth-generation]] games {{4v|Black|White|2}} through an online application known as [[Pokémon Bank]]. This feature, which is available for download from the Nintendo eShop, acts primarily as online storage for Pokémon species. It was first launched in Japan on December 25, 2013, although unexpectedly high demand forced it to close and relaunch the following January. International markets received the Pokémon Bank in February 2014. An extension of the Pokémon Bank called the [[Poké Transporter]] allows players to send Pokémon from their fifth-generation games to their X and Y cartridges via the cloud. Combining the Poké Transporter with the earlier [[Pal Park]] (from {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}) and [[Poké Transfer]] (from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2) allows players to transfer Pokémon from {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}} to their sixth-generation games.

==In-game continuity==
X and Y occur two years after {{v2|Black and White|s}}, thus being contemporaneous with {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. [[Looker]], who has made appearances in the [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] games, is found in Kalos.

{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} take place at least some years before Black and White and X and Y, as the [[Royal Unova]] is stated to be currently under construction and scheduled to be complete in an unspecified number of years and [[Mr. Bonding]] is born. Further, if they are contemporaneous with the events of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} it follows that they are also contemporaneous with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

However, the overall continuity between the sixth generation games and those that precede them is not especially clear. In-game dialogue in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} suggests that the sixth generation games might take place in an alternate universe parallel to the universe in which the earlier games are contained. During the [[Delta Episode]] at [[Mossdeep Space Center]], [[Zinnia]] hints that there might be another version of Hoenn that has not discovered [[Mega Evolution]]:

:''"My people know it. From generation to generation, we pass along the lore about the distortions in the world borne by the Mega Evolution mechanism. And about the existence of another world, which we have long observed to be just like this one and yet not the same... That's right. A Hoenn region that's almost exactly like this one we live in. Filled with Pokémon and people like us. A world where maybe the evolution of Pokémon took a slightly different path, where Mega Evolution is unknown... A world where that war 3,000 years ago...never happened. A world where the [[ultimate weapon]] was never even built. And in that Hoenn of that world... What would happen if one day, out of the blue, a meteoroid appeared? What would happen to the people of that world, without the technology to destroy the meteoroid or the power to warp it away? ... Looks like it's beyond the power of your imagination."''

Zinnia's comments describe the world of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The possibility of alternate universes gives some ambiguity to any perceived inter-generational continuity between the first five generations and the sixth; it is worth noting that the existence of alternate [[dimensions]] in the [[Pokémon universe]] has been explored in previous games, notably the [[Distortion World]] of {{game|Platinum}}, as well as in the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{spin-off games}}. [[Generation VII]] later confirms the existence of alternate universes with the introduction of [[Ultra Wormhole|Ultra Wormholes]], wormholes which allow for interdimensional travel, and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]].

==Advances in gameplay==
The advancements introduced in Generation VI include:
* The addition of {{cat|Generation VI Pokémon|72 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 721. Only one evolution from a Pokémon featured in a previous generation is found: {{p|Sylveon}}, a new {{p|Eevee}} [[Eeveelution|evolution]].
* The introduction of the {{t|Fairy}} type (the first such introduction since [[Generation II]]) to balance out the {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Poison}}, and {{t|Steel}} types. A new Fairy-type form for {{p|Arceus}} is added.
* The addition of {{cat|Generation VI moves|58 new moves}}, bringing the total to 617.
* The addition of {{cat|Abilities introduced in Generation VI|24 new Abilities}}, bringing the total to 188.
* The games now feature a completely three dimensional environment, as well as a new 3D battle system with 3D models for Pokémon as opposed to 2D sprites.
* A new battle mechanic, [[Mega Evolution]], which can only happen during a battle and will wear off once the battle ends. This is only available for certain Pokémon.
* Another [[region]] to explore, the [[Kalos]] region, far away from the previous five and based on {{wp|France}}.
* A new [[villainous team]], [[Team Flare]], whose goal is to make money and create a beautiful world for themselves and eliminate all who don't meet their standards.
* The ability for the {{player}} to walk in an eight directional grid as opposed to the four directional grid that has been common in all the preceding games.
* Three new battle modes:
** A new battle mode called [[Sky Battle]]s, where only certain {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, or those whose Ability is {{a|Levitate}} can participate.
** Another battle mode called [[Horde Encounter]]s, where multiple [[wild Pokémon]] will engage in a battle against one of the player's Pokémon.
** The third format is known as an [[Inverse Battle]], which completely reverses {{DL|Type|Type chart|type matchups}}.
* The introduction of [[ambush encounter]]s, occurrences where wild Pokémon chase the player or jumping at them from a hiding place to initiate a Pokémon battle, somewhat similar to the [[Phenomenon|phenomena]] mechanic.
* The addition of [[Super Training]], a way to increase a Pokémon's [[EV]]s.
* The addition of [[Trainer customization|customization]] for the player, with the ability to choose a variety of outfits to wear at any time.
* The new [[Pokémon Bank]], an online Nintendo 3DS application that will allow the storage of up to 3,000 Pokémon through the payment of an annual fee.
* [[TM]]s have been expanded from 95 to 100.
* Players can now select which language they want to start the game in. This language cannot be changed.

* {{cat|Pokémon whose base stats changed in Generation VI|Twenty-eight Pokémon}} from earlier generations receive a 10-point increase in one of their base stats. They are {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Pidgeot}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, {{p|Vileplume}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Golem}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Azumarill}}, {{p|Jumpluff}}, {{p|Beautifly}}, {{p|Exploud}}, {{p|Staraptor}}, {{p|Roserade}}, {{p|Stoutland}}, {{p|Unfezant}}, {{p|Gigalith}}, {{p|Seismitoad}}, {{p|Leavanny}}, {{p|Scolipede}}, and {{p|Krookodile}}.

* Pokémon obtained in Generation VI have a {{DL|origin mark|blue pentagon}} on their summary screen.
* The player can no longer [[feature registration|register]] screens, such as Pokédex entries.
* Various changes were made to the [[experience]] system:
** When multiple Pokémon participate in battle, each now gets full experience instead of a fraction of the experience.
** The experience formula no longer takes in account difference between Pokémon's levels.
** The [[Exp. Share]] is now a Key Item and gives experience to all Pokémon in the [[party]] that did not participate in battle.
** Experience is now gained after {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} a wild Pokémon.
* Some Pokémon's classification via body styles is changed, such as {{p|Wurmple}}'s.

==Region==
===Kalos===
[[File:Kalos XY.png|thumb|250px|Kalos]]
{{main|Kalos}}
The [[Kalos]] region was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}. This region is geographically isolated and has no close ties with any other region introduced prior to Generation VI.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starters of the sixth Generation follow the traditional {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}} trio setup. At the beginning of the game, the player must choose between the Grass-type {{p|Chespin}}, the Fire-type {{p|Fennekin}} and the Water-type {{p|Froakie}}.

===Hoenn===
[[File:Hoenn ORAS.png|thumb|250px|Hoenn]]
{{main|Hoenn}}
[[Hoenn]] was featured in Generation VI in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a pair of [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III]] games {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.

====Starter Pokémon====
As in other remakes, the starters of Hoenn remain the same as they did in Generation III. [[Professor Birch]] gives {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}} to the player as thanks for using it to save him from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Poochyena}}.

==Kalos thematic motif==
The sixth generation focuses on the concept of beauty and different aspects related to it, such as balance and harmony. [[Trainer customization|Fashion]] and different forms of art are featured considerably in the newly introduced region, whose name comes from the Greek word for beauty.<ref name = NLinterview>[https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/09/interview_junichi_masuda_and_hironobu_yoshida_discuss_pokemon_x_and_y_mega_evolutions_and_the_2ds Interview: Junichi Masuda and Hironobu Yoshida Discuss Pokémon X and Y, Mega Evolutions and the 2DS | Nintendo Life]</ref> {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, the [[game mascot]]s for {{g|X and Y}}, reflect the concepts of harmony and balance, being the "Life" and "Destruction" Pokémon, respectively. [[Team Flare]]'s actions and motives also reflect the beauty theme, as they strive to create "a beautiful world" by any means necessary. X and Y are named for the respective axes and are used to represent different mentalities as well as the ways in which people can find common ground.<ref name = NLinterview/>

==Reception==
Generation VI advanced competitive play by introducing [[Mega Evolution]], making already powerful Pokémon such as {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} stronger, and giving unviable Pokémon such as {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mawile}} a use in the metagame. The addition of the Fairy-type nerfed several previously prominent Pokémon like {{p|Hydreigon}} and {{p|Scrafty}}, and allowed others such as {{p|Clefable}} and {{p|Azumarill}} to rise in prominence.

Generation VI was largely well-received for hearkening back to [[Generation I]], and making older Pokémon popular again. However, as time went on, Generation VI became more controversial in certain parts of the fandom, with the lower difficulty and the lack of a {{DL|Core series|release model|third version}} to the X and Y games being prominent criticisms.

** {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, with 72.
*** [[Legendary Pokémon]], with three.
*** [[Gender unknown]] Pokémon, with seven.
** [[Moves]], with 62.
** {{Abilities}}, with 27.
* The is the only [[generation]]:
** To not introduce a dual-type [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]], instead introducing a pseudo-legendary Pokémon of a single type.
** In which [[transfer]]ring Pokémon from previous generations is possible, but not required in order to complete the [[National Pokédex]] (excluding [[Mythical Pokémon]]).

*** This is also the first instance of any generation not introducing a move for a type after that type's introduction.
{{bulbanews|No new Mega Evolution patch for X or Y players}}
* This is the first generation:
** To introduce new moves between games. Of the 62 moves introduced, four of them were introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and are not present in {{g|X and Y}}. As a result, Pokémon in the former that know these moves cannot be traded to the latter.
** Not to introduce a [[Mythical Pokémon]] whose base stats are all 100.
** To introduce Pokémon with {{t|Normal}} as its secondary [[type]].
** To introduce dual-type Pokémon with {{t|Flying}} as its primary type.
** Where each pair of games released on the same date worldwide.
** That {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}}, the [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders, and [[Lance]] do not appear in.
*** [[Cynthia]] also does not appear, making this the first generation since her debut that she does not appear in.
** Where the player could not rename the [[rival]] in all core series games.
** Since [[Generation IV]] to introduce more than one cat-like [[evolution|evolutionary line]]; however, unlike {{p|Glameow}} and {{p|Purugly}}, {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Pyroar}}, and {{p|Espurr}} and {{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Shinx}}, {{p|Luxio}}, and {{p|Luxray}} were only part of a three-stage line. All other generations with the exception of [[Generation II]] introduced only one:
*** [[Generation I]] introduced {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Persian}}.
*** [[Generation III]] introduced {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.
*** [[Generation V]] introduced {{p|Purrloin}} and {{p|Liepard}}.
*** [[Generation VII]] introduced {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Torracat}}, and {{p|Incineroar}}.
*** While [[Generation VIII]] didn't introduce a full new evolutionary line, [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Galarian]] {{p|Meowth}} evolves into a new species, {{p|Perrserker}}.
*** [[Generation IX]] introduced {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Floragato}}, and {{p|Meowscarada}}.
** To introduce {{t|Fighting}}/Flying Pokémon, marking the last type to be paired with Flying.
* This generation relieved restrictions on formatting that were present in previous generations:
** The [[nickname]] character limit increased from 5 to 6 in Japanese and Korean, and from 10 to 12 in Western languages.
** The {{player}} name character limit increased from 5 to 6 in Japanese and Korean, and from 7 to 12 in Western languages.
** The names of all [[move]]s, [[item]]s and {{Abilities}} introduced before Generation VI are no longer limited to 12 characters, including any spaces. Some of these names were re-formatted; for example, Selfdestruct was renamed {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The character limit has been increased to 16.
* This generation leaves the most extra room in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] [[Living Pokédex|if one fills it with exactly one of each species of Pokémon]], with there being 930 spaces and 721 Pokémon.
* This generation contains the [[core series]] games with the shortest English titles: {{pkmn|X and Y}} have one letter each.
* This is the last generation so far:
** To introduce a new [[type]].
** To change types of existing moves. In this case, {{m|Charm}}, {{m|Moonlight}}, and {{m|Sweet Kiss}} became Fairy-type moves.

Talk:Bulbasaur (Pokémon)

2024-01-21T16:20:49Z

Dedinho910: /* Trainers who use a certain Pokémon */Added to discucion

== Directory ==

Hey can we not have Bulbasaur link to Deoxys in the directory? We're going to get new pokemon and it'd just be better to not have the pokemon in a loop. It'd save sanity for when we get the 4th Gen. I'm trying to fix it now[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 21:07, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

How so? Just change Deoxys on the Bulbasaur page to whatever the new last one should be when necessary - a single page edit. It's not like there's going to be tons of new pokemon every day. [[User:Sheep|Sheep]] 21:25, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ok. Let me fix it but if you think I'm gonna relink all 386 pokemon with Meowth again like yesterday..You're nuts.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 21:36, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No Deo-Bulba link. It's not circular. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:53, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Before all these Pokemon pages are redone, should nav be up on top as well as on bottom, or easily locating the nav, no matter how long the page? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

This doesn't really relate, but could we add some possibilities to what certain Pokemon are based off of? As well as what names seem to be based off of? Like Bulbasaur=bulb+dinosaur, or Bulbasaur appears to be a dinosaur? Just asking here because it's a Pokemon page with lots of activity {{unsigned|Surskitty}}

I'm going to try to automate changing all the navigations for all the Pokemon. Hopefully no one starts editing before I get my script working. I may still be a good hour away from perfecting it. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

Great. I don't feel like changing them all since we spent so long putting them there to begin with. [[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 01:46, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Can you believe I spend *36* minutes trying to get this working, trying things, and the problem with my script was an "&" missing? I'll start mass-updating the pages after I ensure there are no problems, and write a looper. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

I can believe it. But, I thought we weren't going to loop to Deoxys? Evan said we weren't It's going to be a bit of a pain with the new Pokemon. Not to mention we have to put Munchlax and Rukario in there somewhere.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 02:59, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Would there be a template problem without the looping? If not, then anyone can freely unloop them. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

There is so far. I'm debating whether to make a special template for Deo and Bulba. {{unsigned|Evkl}}

That should be easy enough. Make a "next" template and a "previous" template, and have the NextPrevious template combine these, right? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

Perhaps - the problem would then be developing a template to wrap the blue box around it. Or we could just cheat and duplicate code as needed. (Also, I thought you had the Bulbabot account at your disposal to do these automatic changes (they pollute the Recent changes page otherwise)). Also, your bot is a little too overzealous with the &lt; conversion - some HTML tags are also valid in Wiki. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 07:15, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The &lt; was a mistake because of how I managed the text (along with viewing it in the browser before I had all the find/replace working): download, change < to &lt;, then change newlines to BR tags, then modify, then change BR tags back to new lines, then replace the &lt;. I had forgotten about the &lt; in comments. In the end, it turned out I didn't even need to bother with less-than signs, as the textarea box doesn't even use HTML. As for BulbaBot, I don't remember the password, and it wasn't in .bash_history, nor did I feel up to checking my GAIM log. But if I knew that it wouldn't show up in recent changes, I would have done that. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

== Moves ==

The version isn't specified, and there is already a page format allocated for this. If you just want to test things, you can do it on a seperate page. Or just use the "Show preview" button. --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 02:52, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

We know...we're discussing the best way to handle it. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't have any snide comments. We're in a chat right now dealing with it. If you would like to be included in the BMG mod chat please AIM someone.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 03:01, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== Don't mean to impose, but... ==

Have you considered using the setup given by the Pokémon WikiProject at Wikipedia? The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG. Compare [[Wikipedia:Bulbasaur]] with [[Bulbasaur]], for instance. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 00:02, 7 September 2005 (CDT)

I'm sorry, that wasn't terribly clear - what do you mean? What is lacking on the Bulbapedia article? Is it just a matter of depth covered (we might be the biggest Pokémon wiki encyclopedia, but we don't get the kind of activity Wikipedia gets) - or something else? As far as I can see, the Wikipedia articles are structured quite like ours. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 03:36, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
:The articles just need some fleshing out. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 06:34, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
::Then it's nothing to be concerned about. Nothing is ever "done" - it's always open for improvement. Admittedly, it would be nice to have it fleshed out, but we simply don't have the kind of activity Wikipedia gets... so unless you're volunteering to do the work or help convince others to come contribute their work to Bulbapedia, you're just going to have to wait. Bulbapedia, like the Pokémon WikiProject, relies on volunteered work. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 07:07, 7 September 2005 (CDT)

== GameShark/Action Replay Codes? ==

Someone want to put up an explanation for we non-cheating types what the heck those codes are for and why they're in the article? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 06:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
:Indeed. They're gone now. The same user also made a dubious edit to the GS Ball article. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 11:01, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

== Sprites! ==

that whole table of the different sprites is very, very, cool. i am thinking perhaps that could become the Project Spritedex? something or another...anyways, i am just letting everybody out there know i would be eager to help get files of the different sprites for you guys...thanks [[User:bill33421]]
PS: the emerald shiny sprite is missing
:Actually, the sprites fall under {{bp|Project Pokédex}}. And yes, I know the Emerald shiny sprite is missing... I haven't been able to find it. If you can add the sprites to Bulbagarden Archives, well, more power to you. Just make sure to upload them with the proper filename. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 11:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
:interesting...so yes, i will try to get them, but if i could ask, how do '''you''' get them? is there a site that i can find pics on then upload to bulbagarden? or should i crop screenshots of games?
*There are several sites out there with sprites. Pokemon elite 2000 and upokecenter are good candidates; however it is better to do them yourself. I am going to attempt to fill in all the missing sprites for the first generation- I have (nearly) uploaded all the normal and shiny crystal sprites. (all from 10-111)--[[User:Cadellin|Cadellin]] 13:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

[[User:Bill33421|Bill33421]] 19:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

== Diet ==

What up wit the diet? We're talking about Pokémon, fictional creatures, here, not animals, very few have their own individual diets and most of them just have a link to the Pokémon food main article, I just don't see the point in it. -[[User:Kpokefan|K]][[User Talk:Kpokefan|P]][[Darkrai (Pokémon)|F]]
:Think about it: is it better to have a link to an article or have nothing link to the article on Pokémon food? '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:15, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

== First Pokemon ==

this part of the trivia section:

"# Bulbasaur is the first dual-type Pokémon in National Dex order.
# Bulbasaur is the first Grass Pokémon in National Dex order.
# Bulbasaur is the first Poison Pokémon in National Dex order.
# Bulbasaur is the first Pokémon in the National Dex order. "

This sounds rediculous, we know Bulbasaur is the first pokemon, so we don't need to say it is the first poison type, grass type, and dual type. ([[User:GT4GTR|--●[[User:GT4GTR|'''GT4GTR''']] [[User talk:GT4GTR|''/ talk /'']]]] 10:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC))

== Movesets ==

Someone should make it so that the moveset ''changes'' to the correct generation when you click on it, rather than linking to a seperate page. --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 00:18, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:<s>That's exactly what it does for me. Maybe it's something to do with your browser.</s> Wait never mind. Well I'll leave a job like that to someone who knows his way around wiki coding.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 04:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

== Bulbabye? ==

I was watching the first movie again the other day, and in the Pikachu Short, Ash's Bulbasaur used the "Bulba-Bye" on Togepi. I came to check, but it wasn't here. Wouldn't that be something to put in the Behavior section or something like that? [[User:Dlt4|DLT4]] 04:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure it would be "Bulba-by," to fit with "lullaby." Anyway, it would actually probably be more appropriate on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], since this doesn't seem to exist outside of the Anime and I think that's the only Bulbasaur that used it. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 04:56, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking that too - but Dexter said it was the 'first recording' of it, possibly implying that others do it too. [[User:Dlt4|DLT4]] 22:11, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

:Actually, it implies the exact opposite, if you think about it, considering Dexter was talking DURING the event. Dexter ain't psychic. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 22:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

== Problem ==

I have problems viewing the sprite section. When I press the show button it looks sort of distorted. I took a screenshot and I'll upload what it looks like within 5 minutes and post it here. I've tryed it multiple times and it might just be my computer or it might be an error in the system.--[[User:23-03-33]] 21:45, 5 September 2008 (UTC) Here is the image and as you can see the evolution overlaps the sprite page for some reason.

I'm not sure if anyones noticed but Bulbasaur's Platinum non shiny sprite is wrong... and i thought that only 4th gen and sinnoh dex pokemon got new sprites--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 08:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I just checked that and you're right, someone needs to fix it--Pokelova 18:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

== werid thing ==

When I was on venasor's (sorry for bad spelling), I wanted to see Bulbasaur's page, so I clicked on the name under it's image and when I got on the page it stated "Get a life losers" could someone please fix that. thanks ♥luna13♥

:It's already been fixed. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 16:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

== Sprites ==
Anyone else see the shiny sprites are animated? Are the shiny Bulbasaurs in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum animated? {{SUBST::User:SLE aman/Signature}} 01:09, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
:Yes. And no, the DPPt sprites aren't animated. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

== Generation III Learnsets ==

Just a quick question, why don't the other generation learnsets lead to the next Pokémon, like with the PokémonPrevNext thing? ''[[User:ShinjiLover|シンジ]]'''''[[Paul|Shinji]]'''[[User talk:ShinjiLover|Lover]],'''[[Special:Contributions/ShinjiLover|Edits]]''' 21:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

== Gen III Move sets Wrong ==

My Fire Red Bulbasaur didn't learn sweet scent until level 25. I'm not sure about the rest of the moves, but growth should have been offered at level 25 instead, and I still don't have that by 26. I'll update as I learn new moves. {{unsigned|Coldshrike}}
:Done. I already fixed it, thanks for letting us know. '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 12:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

== Cry ==

Bulbasaur's cry is a lower-pitched Pikachu cry. --I [[User:HideInTheDark|hide in the dark]]! 17:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
:It is! Hm. You know, on the [[cry]] page, there's information stating there's only 37 "different" cries that make the 151 sounds (obviously stuff like Mewtwo, Mew, Paras, and Parasect have the same underlying cry), but it'd be awesome if we could get someone to compile a list of all the Pokémon that use those specific cries. Gen II also has 30 more, making there be really 67 sounds for 251 Pokémon.
:Think you could make this list up for us? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:08, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

==Type Advantages over Gym Leaders==

This is kind of a small thing, but it's listed that Bulbasaur has a type advantage over the first two gym leaders in Kanto. But since Lt. Surge uses electric types, that gives Bulbasaur a defensive advantage without an offensive disadvantage (as would be the case with Erika). So shouldn't Bulbasaur be listed as having a type advantage over the first three gym leaders? [[User:Gear-Richie|Gear-Richie]] 20:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:Saying it has a type advantage for that means like when you used a Razor Leaf against Onix or Staryu it would say "It's Super Effective!". Grass type moves don't do that against Electric types, so technically it is true like it already is. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 20:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

:So saying it has a type advantage is limited ONLY to an attack advantage? That doesn't seem right. That would mean there's a difference in nomenclature between Bulbasaur vs. Onix (Offensive only) and Bulbasaur vs. Starmie (Offensive and Defensive). But no such differentiation has ever been used. [[User:Gear-Richie|Gear-Richie]] 19:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

:Type advantage is only limited to Attack Advantage, due to Nintendo and the whole Pokémon community thinking you know the strengths and weaknesses of your Pokémon, so if you send out a Ice less Starmie against a Bulbasaur, you are only hurting your self. But, if you but a Bulbasaur against a Starmie, you are giving your self a advantage, due to the Attacks you gave them. Sorry if it sounds a little confusing >.> --[[User:Mclena45|Mclena45]] 02:18, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

== Back Sprite difference ==

Hey- maybe i'm the first, but when i play Sapphire, Bulbasaur's back sprite is the same as bulbapedia's, however my Fire Red game shows a different back sprite. Here's what I mean: in Hoenn, Bulbasaur is squinting, where in FR&LG, Bulbasaur's eyes are wide open.--[[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 22:58:25, 22, August, 2009 (UTC)

:I believe Bulbapedia uses the most recent back sprites available. So they'll use Emeralds back sprites for Gen III and Heart Gold and Soul Silver for Gen V when it comes out.--[[User:Mclena45|Mclena45]] 02:19, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

==Yellow==

::::As a general rule of thumb, if it is clear what a pronoun is referring to, it should normally be used, with the full noun to used occasionally.

::::That said, as I'm reading it, it is clear what ''it'' is referring to, but it is overused in places and gets repetitive, such as in the intro. Other sections overuse Bulbasaur a little, and read clumsily. Overall it's just a matter of style which isn't particularly bad in this article.

Is this not a piece of trivia?

Could it be included? [[User:Tadzo|Tadzo]] 02:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
:Not notable as far as I know since the mixture between appears to be teal (which is a hue between Blue and Green). That and it looks pretty obvious to most players (or so I would hope). As for that stuff on the Moltres page, <s>its there because it is noting it's current design and how looked in its beta form.</s> Only time I've seen sprite trivia seemingly needed was if it noted it having to have a change in posture due to how offensive it could be to some people ({{p|Registeel}} in Diamond and Pearl) or if the coloring was changed do to how some people were offended by it ({{p|Jynx}}).

== Biology ==

Apart from the unfortunate decision to make all references to Bulbasaur and its species a singular noun, there are other things wrong with how this section is written.
:A Bulbasaur is a small, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}} Pokémon with green or bluish green skin and dark patches.
If Bulbasaur is small, than lots of Pokémon are small. By the way, being based on the Dicynodont, it is indeed reptilian. Its stance is its only similarity to toads. Patches imply different skin texture, such as Kangaskhan's bumps; those are indeed spots.
:Due to being domesticated from birth, Bulbasaur is regarded as both rare and well-behaved Pokémon.
Other than the obvious grammar error, this reads like there is but one Bulbasaur (who's nice).
:[[PK01|Bulbasaur has also shown itself to be]] good at caring for young Pokémon, even having a special technique called the ‘’Bulba-by’’ where it picks up the young Pokémon with its vines, rocking it slowly in the air to calm it down.
Too much hyperlinked text. Way too wordy. Instead of repeating "young Pokémon," you could have left it how I'd worded it. Those apostrophes are all over the place. Missing a comma. Actions are not locations (use "in which" instead of "where").
:However, due to its status as starter Pokémon, Bulbasaur is hard to come by in the wild and generally found under the ownership of Trainers. In [[EP051|one episode]], it is shown that a Bulbasaur's bulb will flash blue when it is ready to evolve, and it must struggle to resist the transformation. The episode also shows that large groups of Bulbasaur gather every year in a hidden garden in Kanto to become Ivysaur.
Grammar. I'm sure we could link to EP051 without wasting time mentioning the anime. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWanna]]BeThe[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|VeryBest]] 08:56, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
:These changes were decided by the staff as a whole after a long period of discussion. It was decided that the entire biology section should be written in singular, gender-neutral terms. This is what the Pokedex does, and it was decided that the most professional thing to do is write in the same style. This is not going to change. Having references to the anime that should be mentioned and linked to the correct episodes was another decision made after much discussion. Moving on to your complaints about this specific article.
:Many Pokemon are indeed small. Being based on a reptile does not make it a reptile. When this was written, it was decided that because of Bulbasaur's mix of traits it was better not to include a specifier such as "reptilian". Spots imply something like a leopard or a cheetah's markings. A spot is a round marking, which is not what Bulbasaur displays. Bulbasaur has irregularly shaped patches or blotches of darker color, not round spots of darker color. Overuse of the the pronoun "its" in reference to the young Pokemon making it confuses as the to whether you're talking about Bulbasaur or the baby.
:: Bulbasaur can also be excellent caretakers, even having a special technique called the "Bulba-by," used to soothe a young Pokémon by picking it up with its vines and rocking it slowly in the air, as seen in ''[[PK01|Pikachu’s Vacation]]''.
Do the vines belong to Bulbasaur or the baby? "It" is used to refer to both, so one cannot be sure. The entire sentence still needs further rewording, really. I will look into that. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 09:43, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

== Biology section changes ==

Probably a dumb question and I don't know where else I could ask this (I only put it here because this was the first Pokémon affected), but is there a reason some Pokémon have [[Mewtwo_(Pokémon)#Biology|more under their "biology" section]] than [[Bulbasaur_(Pokémon)#Biology|others]]? Is this an attempt to change the way the pages are organized? Just seems odd right now how some Pokémon have their bio section going into more categories including their special abilities and behaviors than others. And so far from what I've seen, it seems that only the [[Generation I]] except for {{p|Mewtwo}} are affected by this as well as a couple of Pokémon from other [[Generation|Gens]] scattered across the series. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 00:00, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

== Flying Press and Freeze-Dry effectiveness ==

Since the effectiveness of these two moves differs from other Fighting- and Ice-type attacks, don't you think it might be worth it adding a note under the type effectiveness table when these moves react differently than normal?
For example, Bulbasaur normally resists Fighting-type moves, but takes normal damage from Flying Press, so we could add a note saying:
*The effectiveness of [[Flying Press]] is 1×.
Ludicolo normally takes normal damage from both Fighting- and Ice-type moves, but is weak to these two special attacks, so we could add two notes saying:
*The effectiveness of [[Flying Press]] is 2×.
*The effectiveness of [[Freeze-Dry]] is 4×.

Trivia Fact

'''Bulbasaur is the first dual type basic staged Grass-type starter Pokémon.'''

== A little problem with adding side game data ==

I noticed that this page and Ivysaur's were the only ones that had Battle Trozei data and the rest didn't. I decided to add that to the pages but then I noticed none of them, not even this one, have data on Rumble U and Rumble World. I wanted to add that as well, but there's no template for these games. I was going to create them by just copying and pasting the Rumble or Rumble Blast one, but I can't edit those, so I cant' do it. Can an admin create the templates? [[User:TepiGreninja|TepiGreninja]] ([[User talk:TepiGreninja|talk]]) 22:57, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
:We're holding off on Rumble U and Rumble World for now until we know more about the games and what information should go on the templates. But for now, please feel free to add the Battle Trozei data to the Pokémon pages. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 00:34, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
::I'm pretty sure that Rumble U and Rumble World only need the stats like the other two Rumble games, but 'kay. I guess I'll add just the Battle Trozei data for the time being. [[User:TepiGreninja|TepiGreninja]] ([[User talk:TepiGreninja|talk]]) 23:39, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
:::If you want to try creating a user page or something with what you know, we (or anyone) could easily reference it once we make the necessary templates. We might even be able to put it in the mainspace as its own list page (maybe, I don't know). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:42, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
::::Nah, that's not necessary. See how Pokémon Rumble and Rumble Blast have the attack, defense and speed stats represented by these dots? The only thing that's needed is two more templates that are exactly the same, but with a different name. [[User:TepiGreninja|TepiGreninja]] ([[User talk:TepiGreninja|talk]]) 00:34, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
:::::I wouldn't say it's that easy. In World at least, the Attack/Defense/Speed approximations are impossible to see in-game, and if they still exist in there, I haven't seen anywhere that's datamined them. Sure, if the format is the same, many of them are likely similar, but what if they added in the Gen VI base stat buffs from the core series and that changed the data on some Pokemon? If we just assumed, we could potentially spread misinformation. Additionally, we'd lack data on every Gen VI Pokemon, as well as newer alternate forms that have different stats like Megas/Primals. Since newer forms with differing stats aren't accounted for in the template, it would need to be adjusted slightly as well, so it wouldn't just be a total copy and paste. [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 01:09, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
::::::TepiGreninja, let me suggest this then: until we do actually create those templates, why don't you just add code for them ''as if they exist'', and leave it commented out in HTML comments? Then all we'll have to do is uncomment it.
::::::(To be plain, I'm trying to suggest an option where, if you fall off the face of the earth before (for whatever reason) we make the template, we're not stuck with nothing to add anyway if no one else has this data available. I know I don't know any easy place to find it. If you have the games and this data, then we'd be very happy if you share it in ''some'' form.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:38, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
:::::::I found a page that had stats for the Gen I Pokémon in Rumble World and assumed it had stats for every one, but then I clicked to see the other gens, and it is lacking the stats for some of the Unova legendaries and the Kalos ones. This most likely means that the stats for the Pokémon that do have them are only there because the person assumed they didn't change. So yeah, creating the templates would be useless for now. Sorry for not noticing that earlier and wasting your time. XD [[User:TepiGreninja|TepiGreninja]] ([[User talk:TepiGreninja|talk]]) 21:11, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

== Anime Screentime ==

According to Serebii "anime appearance" lists, Bulbasaur is the Pokemon with most screentime after Pikachu and Meowth. {{unsigned|ZeraX}}

== Name origin ==

How do we know the ''saur'' part in its English name comes from Ancient Greek for lizard, and not from dino''saur''? [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 17:50, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
:Well, the “saur” part in “dinosaur” means “lizard” as well. The literal meaning of the “dinosaur” term is “scary lizard”.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 19:15, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
::Even if that's the case, I think it's misleading to directly reference the Greek word and make no mention of "dinosaur". As it stands, the Name Origin section makes it sound like the localization team was trying to invoke the word "lizard", when I think it's more likely they were going for "dinosaur", seeing how most English Pokémon names are made up of combined English words, and it would be weird for them to call the grass starter a lizard when that's what the fire starter is supposed to be.
::For comparison, look at the Werehog from Sonic Unleashed. "Were" means man, while a "hog" is a pig. But in that case, it's clear it's actually meant to be a combination of ''were''wolf and hedge''hog'', seeing how it's literally Sonic turned into a werewolf. So saying that the name is derived from just "were" and "hog" would be inaccurate and misleading, and makes it sound like it's referring to a man who transforms into a pig. [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 22:58, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
:::You can add it as possible reference at this point, [https://web.archive.org/web/19990221135156/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/NEWS/NEWS.HTM Game Freak by itself] never explained what that “saur” means, and now we know the reason - Bulbasaur is actually a frog. This means however that we cannot be fully sure, so probably it’s better to add that “-saur” is often used for dinosaur names, without removing the actual meaning of that “-saur” suffix.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 01:43, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
::::Sounds good, I just edited the section to cover both possible meanings. Before I do the same with the Ivysaur and Venusaur articles for consistency, is it all right like this? [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 12:38, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::It can work like that, as personal preference I’d put it as “and σαῦρος ''saur'' (Ancient Greek for ''{{wp|lizard}}''), commonly used for the names of lizards and dinosaurs”, to better show how there is more interrelation among these two terms and families than it usually seems.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 13:16, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
::::::So "Bulbasaur may be a combination of ''{{wp|bulb}}'' (a rounded underground storage organ present in some plants, notably those of the lily family) and σαῦρος ''saur'' (Ancient Greek for ''{{wp|lizard}}''), commonly used for the names of lizards and dinosaurs."? [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 21:20, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::Yes, if it doesn’t sound too bad I’d personally word it like that.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 23:16, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
::::::::Sounds good to me, feel free to change it. [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 23:31, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

== Trainers who use a certain Pokémon ==

I want a page for each Pokémon that lists all the Pokémon trainers (in the Pokémon games, not anime, manga, or other Pokemon media) who use that Pokémon. I want this page for all Pokémon, but I'm only putting this on the discussion page for Bulbasaur because it's the first Pokémon in Pokédex order. [[User:Jort|Jort]] ([[User talk:Jort|talk]]) 04:30, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
:I doubt there will ever be such list. Seems like too much work for something with such little use. For now you can go to Trainer Class pages and look for particular Pokemon by yourself.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 11:45, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
::Then I'll start making them. [[User:Jort|Jort]] ([[User talk:Jort|talk]]) 22:02, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
:::This doesn't seem like a good idea, if you ask me. It will just eat too much page space, especially if we're talking about some super common Pokémon like Zubat, Golbat, or Magikarp. I suggest you make a personal article under your own user page (just put a slash after your user name and then the page title) if you want to make this kind of list. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 23:37, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
::::I've always wanted to implement the idea personally, but it would be space consuming in all ways I've manged to think of it, I'd be interested what you come up with, build up some drafts at something like [[User:Jort/Trainer encounters]]. And we'll see how it looks. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 00:11, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
:::::I think this could be done but a little differently. Instead of mentioning trainer every time they use a specific Pokemon on species page, there could be seperate pages to list all traniners from each game. Of course this would have to treat pages for trainers from battle facilities as their subpages. Then anyone could just ctrl+f a Pokemon to see when it was used.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 12:20, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
::::::Maybe. But starting out with a draft would still probably be the best way to start out, like Spriteit suggested. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:04, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
:::::::This isn't the first time that someone's had this idea (or one that's similar). For reference, [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]]'s added what such a list might look like for bulbasaur to the [[Bulbapedia:Sandbox#Trainer ownership template test|Bulbapedia sandbox]]. [[User:Pale Prism|Pale Prism]] ([[User talk:Pale Prism|talk]]) 23:06, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
:I would love to see that! But maybe only major trainers for less work? DedoChichiche 16:20, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

== Sprites section ==

Shouldn't the section be renamed to something like "Sprites and models"? Its current name has been obsolete for years. Only the first 5 gens have sprites, the rest use models. [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 18:49, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Stellar (type)

2024-01-16T18:40:00Z

Dedinho910: Corrected wrong english.

{{types}}
The '''Stellar type''' (Japanese: '''ステラタイプ''' ''Stella type'') is a [[type]] that exists only in [[Generation IX]]. Unlike other types, no Pokémon or [[move]]s bear it naturally, being exclusive to the [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized]] Pokémon. Stellar-type moves are super effective against other Tera Pokémon.

==Battle properties==
{{Flexheader}}
{{TypeProperties
|type=Stellar
|prop=Off
|se=Terastallized Pokémon
}}
{{Flexfooter}}
Uniquely, the Stellar type has no defensive properties, as a Stellar-type Tera Pokémon will always retain its original typing's defensive properties. Outside of Terastallizing, any attempts to change a Pokémon's type into the Stellar type (such as the moves {{m|Conversion 2}} or {{m|Reflect Type}}) will fail. As such, Stellar-type Pokémon are in practice always weak to Stellar-type {{m|Tera Blast}} and {{m|Tera Starstorm}} from other Stellar-type Tera Pokémon, in addition to any weaknesses of their original typing.

===Additional effects===
When a Pokémon {{Terastal}}lizes into the Stellar type, it gains an attack boost for every move type, but only once per type; 2× for original types and 1.2× for every other type. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive this boost from being Terastallized. In [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, all moves will be boosted in this manner without limit. In its Stellar Form, {{p|Terapagos}} similarly retains this boost at all times.

Stellar-type {{m|Tera Blast}} gains increased base power at the cost of lowering the user’s Attack and Special Attack stats by one stage, and Stellar-type {{m|Tera Starstorm}} changes to hit multiple opponents. Other moves cannot be changed into the Stellar type.

==Pokémon==
No Pokémon is naturally Stellar-type. All Pokémon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} except {{p|Ogerpon}} can gain the Stellar type through [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]], but defensively, they are treated as their base type.

==Trivia==
* The Stellar type is the most recent [[type]] to be introduced.
* This is the only type to be exclusive to a [[Terastal phenomenon|transformation mechanic]]. Likewise, it is the only type a Pokémon can not be without the mechanic.
* Stellar is the only type without a type-boosting [[held item]], damage-reducing [[Berry]], [[gem]], [[memory]], or [[Plate]].
* Written in katakana, '''ステラタイプ''' (''Sutera type'') is an anagram of '''テラスタイプ''' (''Terasu Type''), the Japanese word for Tera Type.
* The Stellar type, along with the rest of the Terastal phenomenon, was created by {{p|Terapagos}}. Pokémon gain the Stellar Tera Type due to the influence of the crystals found in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]].
* Terapagos cannot have any other Tera Type than Stellar.
* Stellar-type moves can only be resisted by the {{a|Tera Shell}} and {{a|Wonder Guard}} Abilities, the latter of which is unavailable in Scarlet and Violet.
* Stellar is the only type to be introduced mid-[[generation]] instead of at said generation's beginning.

:''"Whoa... Way cool..."''

::'''After the player first lands a super-effective [[move]]''': ''"Oof, ehehe... I guess I got a lot of weaknesses..."''
::'''After the player first lands a not very effective [[move]]''': ''"H-hey, you’re not holding back, are ya? I… I wouldn’t really like that…"''
::'''After the player first lands a [[critical hit]]''': ''"Huh?! How'd that happen?! Aw man, even luck's on your side..."''
::'''Upon first using {{p|Yanma}}'s {{m|Air Cutter}}''': ''"You got this, Yanma! C-cut through the wind and show 'em what you've got!"''
::'''Upon first using Yanma's {{m|Bug Buzz}}''': ''"You got this, Yanma! Buzz those wings!"''
::'''Upon being defeated''': ''"Wowzers..."''

* After battle

:''"I dunno about that..."''
:''"What?! No, Sis, don't—!"''
:''"Well...no, but... Aw man..."''
:''"U-um... So it looks like...we should probably start with the signboard at...[[Loyalty Plaza]]... That's out past the apple orchards on the west side of the village... It's close by. And I figure it might, um, make sense to...y'know...visit them all in order... I'll probably just get in your way if I stick too close, so I'll just...follow you from a safe distance!"''

:''"That's the first signboard..."''
:''"S-sorry, did I startle ya? I-I did mention that I'd hang back an' follow you here..."''
:''"We're s'posed to read the signboard, right?"''
:''"Oh, I already know the whole story, so...g-go ahead. You should check it out."''
:''"The [[Loyal Three]] Monument is right over there... But don't you think the ogre in that folktale sounds kinda...cool?"''
::'''Yeah, it sure does!''': ''"Right?! I knew you'd get it, <player>! It was up against three whole opponents at once, battling it out all by itself—wowzers, that's so cool!"''
::'''You think...?''': ''"C'mon, it was all alone! The battle was three against one, but the ogre still managed to hold its own. That's way cool!"''
:''"Oh... But I guess most people would just think an ogre like that is scary, huh? I don't think there's any reason to be afraid..."''
:''"When I was little, I went up into the mountain so many times at night—all on my own—an' I never once met that ogre. Only scary thing that happened was the grown-ups givin' me a real earful about it..."''
:''"Umm... So yeah, we're s'posed to take a photo in front of the signboard, right? I don't have a smartphone... Could you...?"''
:''"That turned out great. You're even good at taking photos..."''
::'''Thanks!''': ''"S-sorry... Not trying to butter you up or anythin'..."''
::'''You wanna try?''': ''"Oh! No! I didn't mean— M-maybe...next time..."''
:''"Y'know...I didn't wanna have to come do this whole school trip thing, but...well...it might actually be kinda fun..."''
:''"I get to be out in nature around my hometown...and talk to you, <player>..."''
:''"H-hey, if you want, maybe we could set up a [[picnic]]. Would you like a [[sandwich]]—?"''
:''"Gyah! Wh-what is that thing?! Some kinda...{{wp|kaiju}} or somethin'?!"''
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"It's called {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}? And you ride on it, huh...? I've never seen another Pokémon like this..."''
:''"And it seriously comes out whenever it hears the word "sandwich"?"''
:''"Never thought I'd actually get to meet such an awesome Pokémon."''
:''"No wonder you're so strong, <player>... You're...you're special."''
:''"So, the next—! Errr, we should go find the next signboard! It's on the grounds of [[Kitakami Hall]]. Um, Kitakami Hall is... Well, first double back to town from here, then there's this bridge you cross, and from there, you'll need to climb up the mountainside. I'll hang back for now an' meet you there later!"''

;Kitakami Hall
:''"That's the second signboard. Bit tricky to find, huh?"''
:''"S-sorry... I'm followin' at a distance, so...I...I hope you can get used to me showing up like this."''
:''"Now then, let's read the sign..."''
:''"Did you read it...?"''
:''"The masks the Loyal Three stole are kept over at Kitakami Hall. Everyone in town is scared of the ogre...but me? I really like it."''
:''"It was strong...and cool...and it didn't even care when everyone shunned it... I've always wanted to be like that, ever since I was a kid."''
:''"I want to be as cool as the ogre."''
:''"My sis sorta ends up doin' everything for me...even when we're at school..."''
:''"I...wanna try to get stronger. So I can do things for myself, you know? I'm gonna become someone people can rely on. Then, just maybe...I could be that ogre's friend."''
:''"Oh! Um...right. Picture. We're s'posed to take a picture! You can take the next one, too, if you don't mind, <player>..."''
:''"Phew. I knew it was the right call to let you handle it, <player>. Now, on to the next signboard..."''
:''"Oh. And you know the mountain the stories say the ogre lives on? It's actually [[Oni Mountain]]. You can climb it from the stairs over there."''
:''"If you wanted, we could...go see the ogre's home? Folks call it the [[Dreaded Den]]."''
::'''I wanna see it!''': ''"Y-yes! I really...wanted you to see it for yourself, <player>!"''
::'''Hmm, I dunno...''': ''"You don't have to if you don't wanna...but...I'd really like to show you it. You know?"''
:''"So...if you keep climbing up, you'll reach the [[Infernal Pass]]. There's a sign before that... If you turn at the sign, you can get to the Dreaded Den."''
:''"S-so I'll just head on up, then. Come along when you're ready. An' be careful!"''

;Dreaded Den
:''"<player>! Didja have trouble getting across that narrow path?"''
:''"There it is...the Dreaded Den. This is s'posed to be the ogre's home... At least, that's what everyone says. I come here all the time, but I'VE never seen it..."''
:''"Maybe a powerful ogre like that would only show up if it heard some kinda battle goin' on..."''
:''"O-oh yeah... I think I've gotten a bit stronger since the last time we battled, so...y'know...if you wanted to...we could battle?"''
::'''Let's do it!''': ''"All right! Though, uh, we should heal up our teams first."''
::'''I don't know...''': ''"C'mon... I'll even heal up your Pokémon for you first, <player>. So please..."''
:''"I'll give it all I got. I-I got this!"''

:''"I knew it... You really are strong, <player>. How am I ever gonna be able to beat you? If the ogre saw that battle, I'm sure it'd be thinking "That kid's got real strength...""''
:''"See, my school...[[Blueberry Academy]]... It's a school that specializes in teachin' the art of Pokémon battlin'. If I was as strong as you...maybe I could aim to be the best {{pkmn|Trainer}} there."''
:''"Let's go have a look at the ogre's den."''
:''"Watch your head."''
:''"See how dark it is in here? And cramped... Even the floor's all rough and uneven."''
:''"Living all alone in a place like this would get pretty miserable, don't you think?"''
:''"Poor ogre... We have plenty of room at our house. I would've totally let it stay with us..."''

::'''When can I move in?''': ''"I don't know if we'd have room for the both of you, <player>..."''

:''"Whoa, no way... The sun's already gone down?"''
:''"I guess we'll have to save the last signboard for tomorrow..."''
:''"Oh! I almost forgot! Today's the first day of the Festival of Masks over at Kitakami Hall."''
:''"It's this big event where everyone puts on masks and runs around celebratin'... I mean, it's not like you've gotta go or anything, but if you wanted to...y'know...check it out...well, it'd be fun."''
::'''Let's go together!''': ''"Y-yeah! Why not!"''
::'''It does sound fun''': ''"I, um...I can show you to it!"''
:''"It'd be great to go together..."''
:''"There's just a few things we'd have to get ready first, so we should swing by my house before heading to the festival. We live in the northwest corner of the village. It's...um...let's see, I could maybe draw a map..."''
:''"Oh, your [[Rotom Phone]] has a map in it, huh? You want me to register it on your map? Yeah, I could give that a try..."''
:''"Wowzers! It sure is handy having a map that shows you everything right there in your phone... I'm gonna ask if I can get a Rotom Phone someday too!"''
:''"I'll be right behind you, if you wanna head to my family's place first. See you there!"''

:''"Oh, um... This is <player>... He's/She's part of the same school trip as me and Sis."''

:''"I-it's OK, <player>... You can just wear my mask."''
:''"Yeah, but—"''
:''"Oof... Sorry, <player>... I know my sis seems kinda harsh, b-but she's really not all that bad... Actually, she was tearin' the shed apart, tryin' to find a third mask for you before you got there... O-oh, but, uh, don't tell her I told you that, <player>!"''
:''"The Festival of Masks is held up at Kitakami Hall. W-we should probably get going..."''

:''"This is the Festival of Masks! Today's just the first day. It'll keep going for a while..."''
:''"It's OK, <player>. Just ignore her..."''
:''"Ow! You're steppin' on my toe, Sis!"''
:''"Hehehe..."''
:''"N-nothin'! I was just thinkin' it was funny that, like...you don't know anything about the ogre..."''
:''"S-sorry..."''
:''"Oh, look! They've got candy apples! Let's go check out the stalls!"''

* If the player tries to leave the area
:''"H-heeey! Over here!"''

:''"Uh, here, <player>... You can have one."''
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"Grandma gave me some pocket money, so it's no big deal."''
:''"I love candy apples. You don't get to eat 'em every day, y'know? Grandma always just makes us [[mochi]] as a snack... There's even a [[Dipplin (Pokémon)|Pokémon]] in Kitakami that looks like a little ol' candy apple—didja know that?"''
:''"Hey, let's check that out over there!"''

* When talked to at the [[Ogre Oustin']] counter
:''"Oh, you're gonna try it, <player>? I'll, uh...I'll cheer you on from...a safe distance..."''
:''"Go get 'er, <player>!"''

* After the player completes Ogre Oustin'
:''"N-no..."''
:''"Ugh... Sorry she's causin' such a scene. Don't worry—I'll deal with her. Why don'tcha go wander around a bit in the meantime?"''

* If talked to
:''"I'll deal with my sis. You go and explore for a bit, <player>."''

* If talked to after finding {{p|Ogerpon}}
:''"I don't wanna pop the Ogre Balloons, but my sis keeps insistin' I do it..."''

* After the player catches up to Ogerpon
:''"<player>! Sis! What're you guys doin' over here?"''
:''"Wh-what? Why're you yellin' all of a sudden, Sis?"''
:''"Huh. Oh, I get it. I bet you were makin' fun of me behind my back..."''
:''"I'm just...gonna head back to the festival..."''

* If talked to
:''"Had enough of the festival?"''
::'''No''': ''"The festival isn't gonna end anytime soon. Don't overdo it, 'K?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Well then, guess we should head home. I'll walk you back to the community center."''

:''"Wanna go see the last signboard?"''
:''"Seriously? He's/She's spending all his/her time with you... That's so unfair! You can be such a jerk..."''
:''"Hmph!"''

* Outside of Peachy's
:''"Oh, uh... H-hey, <player>. So, I...I was gonna ask. What were you and my sis just, uh...talkin' about?"''
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"Oh, I-I see..."''
:''"S-so! About those signs! The last one's a bit of a hike away. It's in the [[Paradise Barrens]] on the other side of Oni Mountain. We'll need to head over the mountain and down toward the northwest... You go on ahead. I'll catch up."''
:''"Why...why'd you lie to me...?"''

;Paradise Barrens
:''"These are the Paradise Barrens. Pretty lonely place, huh?"''
:''"According to the old legends, the ogre used to be seen around here lots."''
:''"Hey, before we check out the sign...could you...battle me...?"''
::'''Let's do it!''': ''"'K, let me heal up our Pokémon"''
::'''I dunno...''': ''"I promise I'll heal up your Pokémon and all, so please, <player>?"''

:''"It's because I'm weak... That's why I..."''
:''"We should go check out the sign... Come on, let's get this over with."''
:''"In the old days, everyone carried masks wherever they went. And...the one who made those masks was actually my great-great-great-grandpa's great-great-great-grandpa...or something."''
::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"I mean, I don't think any of that stuff about the ogre stealing souls is true or anything, but... it is true that our family used to make masks"''
:''"Our family... has a long line of mask makers. Even my gramps can make 'em."''
:''"I even heard that the reason we hold the Festival of Masks is 'cause our ancestors came up with the idea."''
:''"But I don't really like what they wrote on this sign here..."''
:''"Just because the ogre seemed sorta scary, everyone got all afraid of it and drove it away from the village"''
:''"But I'm pretty sure the ogre must've been lonely on its own."''
:''"Left all alone like that... Treated like some kind of outcast..."''
::'''You're right''': ''"You think so too...huh, <player>?"''
::'''Sorry...''': ''"...For what?"''

:''"You two knew, didn't you? You knew that the ogre wasn't the real bad guy in the stories..."''
:''"The Loyal Three were the real bad guys, but the ogre's the one that gets treated like an outcast!"''
:''"And you two did the same thing to me!"''
:''"You treated ME like an outcast when you went an' met with the ogre!"''
:''"You're no different than those villagers back then... You know how much I love the ogre! You acted like you didn't know anything, but you were laughing at me behind my back all along!"''
:''"Liar! You're a LIAR!!!"''
:''"<player>... Battle me. If you win, I'll give you back the mask."''
:''"So c'mon... Battle me already!"''

:''"Are you kidding me?! What, was this assignment too hard for you too?"''

{{types}}
The '''Stellar type''' (Japanese: '''ステラタイプ''' ''Stella type'') is a [[type]] that exists only in [[Generation IX]]. Unlike other types, no Pokémon or [[move]]s bear it naturally, being exclusive to the [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized]] Pokémon. Stellar-type moves are super effective against other Tera Pokémon.

==Battle properties==
{{Flexheader}}
{{TypeProperties
|type=Stellar
|prop=Off
|se=[[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized Pokémon]]
}}
{{Flexfooter}}
Uniquely, the Stellar type has no defensive properties, as a Stellar-type Tera Pokémon will always retain its original typing's defensive properties. Outside of Terastallizing, any attempts to change a Pokémon's type into the Stellar type (such as the moves {{m|Conversion 2}} or {{m|Reflect Type}}) will fail. As such, Stellar-type Pokémon are in practice always weak to Stellar-type {{m|Tera Blast}} and {{m|Tera Starstorm}} from other Stellar-type Tera Pokémon, in addition to any weaknesses of their original typing.

===Additional effects===
When a Pokémon {{Terastal}}lizes into the Stellar type, it gains an attack boost for every move type, but only once per type; 2× for original types and 1.2× for every other type. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive this boost from being Terastallized. In [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, all moves will be boosted in this manner without limit. In its Stellar Form, {{p|Terapagos}} similarly retains this boost at all times.

Stellar-type {{m|Tera Blast}} gains increased base power at the cost of lowering the user’s Attack and Special Attack stats by one stage, and Stellar-type {{m|Tera Starstorm}} changes to hit multiple opponents. Other moves cannot be changed into the Stellar type.

==Pokémon==
No Pokémon is naturally Stellar-type. All Pokémon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} except {{p|Ogerpon}} can gain the Stellar type through [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]], but defensively, they are treated as their base type.

* The Stellar type is the most recent [[type]] to be introduced.
* This is the only type to be exclusive to a [[Terastal phenomenon|transformation mechanic]]. Likewise, it is the only type a Pokémon can not be without the mechanic.
* Stellar is the only type without a type-boosting [[held item]], damage-reducing [[Berry]], [[gem]], [[memory]], or [[Plate]].
* Written in katakana, '''ステラタイプ''' (''Sutera type'') is an anagram of '''テラスタイプ''' (''Terasu Type''), the Japanese word for Tera Type.
* The Stellar type, along with the rest of the Terastal phenomenon, was created by {{p|Terapagos}}. Pokémon gain the Stellar Tera Type due to the influence of the crystals found in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]].
* Terapagos cannot have any other Tera Type than Stellar.
* Stellar-type moves can only be resisted by the {{a|Tera Shell}} and {{a|Wonder Guard}} Abilities, the latter of which is unavailable in Scarlet and Violet.
* Stellar is the only type to be introduced mid-[[generation]] instead of at said generation's beginning.

I am a (top secret) years old male from the state of Pará in Brazil that speaks Portuguese, English and a bit of spanish.

I used to play Pokémon Go, now only playing Masters EX on mobile, pray for my good pools

[[Karen]] said ''"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people."'' but selfish realy is who says a [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Game]] is buggy just because did a little visual glitch where the hue of one grass tile changed hue by 1 for half second once when little Timmy played multiplayer with E internet.
