:::First of all, that is not bullying, what you have written on your talk page is that ''Clemont's Chespin is the first owned by a main character to not be owned by Ash'', there are many main characters not to be owned by Ash, such as Togepi, Onix, Geodude, Staryu, Psyduck and many more, what you actually added on it's page was '' Chespin is the only regional {{type|Grass}} {{pkmn2|starter}} that {{Ash}} hasn't obtained '', this not for a Pokémon owned by a main character, it is for a SPECIES AS A WHOLE [[User:Upratik 12|Pratik_12]] '' [[User talk:Upratik 12|Talk]]'' 17:22, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

== "Composed is a more musical term" ==

You recently reverted some of my edits and stated that "Composed is a more musical term" although compose is generally used in a musical term it is not exclusive to music and is perfectly acceptable in many other contexts. Composed of means that the subject of the sentence is made of the object. In the Veilstone City example the dojo is made of several smaller rooms, as I stated earlier comprise is to be used as an active verb so "comprised of" is inappropriate as this is a passive verb so in the Veilstone City example "Veilstone Gym is a dojo comprised of several smaller rooms" means that it is a dojo contained within several smaller rooms which shouldn't make any sense. The argument you used to support "comprised of" is that it "flows" better, this shouldn't be an issue with "composed of" as the pronunciation is very similar. So in conclusion "composed of" should be just as good, maybe even better. Thank you. [[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 16:54, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
:You seem to be laboring under the same misconception as [[User talk:ShinyGiratina#Comprised|another user was]]; "comprised" very much does not have to equal "contains". Passive usage is also not wrong (both Wiktionary and Webster's have quotes using "comprised of").
:In short, there is not really a good reason to change "comprised of". It was discussed on your talk page before. If you weren't convinced, you really should have revisited that discussion, instead of revisiting the pages you were previously reverted on. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:16, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
::Context, my friend. If something is "comprised of" an object, it '''consists of''' or '''contains''' the object. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:41, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
:::Why not use "consists of", "contains" "made of" etc because it is more precise than "comprised of".[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 17:03, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
::::If you want to, go ahead. I always use "consists of" to stray away from the "comprised of" debate, but I am still on the opinion that "comprised of" is not grammatically incorrect.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:40, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
:::::For whatever it's worth, I'd be cautious about okaying something like that. Effectively, it's a green light to change something (''across the board'') that's considered okay just because one person thinks something else is better. If it's okay for anyone/everyone to do that, then we could easily end up with many people making many edits just to change things to their own liking, when it was already fine.
:::::In a situation like this, at best, I'd say that this is a case of "If you come across it in the course of something else, feel free; but don't edit a page just to change that one thing". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:03, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
::::::Precisely. If you're changing it to change the whole sentence or what not, fine. But if you're changing it because someone somewhere thinks it's incorrect, then that's a different issue entirely.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:15, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
:::::::Sorry for late reply I was away for a while. Tiddlywinks although it is true that something should not be changed just because one person has an issue with it, with the "comprised of" issue I would say it's different because I'm not the only person who has an issue with it. ShinyGiratina has shown that he/she has an issue with it and after doing a web search the top results are to do with the issue surrounding "comprised of". If someone does have an issue with grammar and a consensus is reached I don't see what would be wrong with making changes.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 19:15, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

:::::::::::Yes true but I truly believe that the instance on "Mewtwo (original series)" should be changed from "a team comprised of Team Rocket..." to "a team of Team Rocket..." because the word "comprised" is completely redundant. The Lilycove Museum page also unnecessarily uses "comprised of" and a word like "features" could be much better because it would avoid the debate.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 18:13, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
::::::::::::Or just leave it be. If you're going to change the whole sentence (and in turn take out "comprised of") that's fine, but if you just want to solely take "comprised of" out that's where the problem lies. Because there's no reason to change it and the edit is just based off the opinion of one person.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:21, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::::::It's not just the opinion of one person if you do a web search for "comprised of" you will see that many people state that they have an issue with the term. The users Snorlaxmonster and ShinyGiratina have changed "comprised of" so they probably have an issue with the term. If anything if "comprised of" is changed it would avoid the issue and it won't make the pages any worse so why is there an issue with just changing "comprised of"? If someone does why would it be right to revert edits as it is a small change and as I mentioned it won't make anything worse.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 05:34, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
(resetting indent) The problem still arises that there are only a select few users on Bulbapedia that feel that "comprised of" is incorrect, and the ones I have seen posting about it are entirely focused on using only the definition of "comprised" to argue their point. What you (collectively) fail to realize is that when you use a word as part of a phrase, the individual words' definitions do not necessarily directly affect the definition of the phrase. Ask a sample of random people "What does comprised of mean?" and I guarantee that the majority (if not all) will say something along the lines of "is made up of". This case is a situation where common usage has dictated that the definition of the '''phrase''' "comprised of" means "is made up of", and as such is acceptable, and there is no need to change it just for the sake of changing it, whether coming across it by chance or purposely hunting it down. [[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 13:19, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
:Saying that "comprised of" means "made of" might be ok in infomal speech but it doesn't seem appropriate on an encyclopedia. If you check the definitions that Tiddlywinks linked they have usage notes advising against using it so it's not like it's received universal approval. As I have kept mentioning at least if "comprised of" isn't used it would avoid the debate.Your example of asking people what "comprised of" means I believe that a lot would say it's incorrect/inappropriate.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 08:48, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
::Taking a look at [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/comprise Webster's] again, it actually seems to pretty strongly take the side of the "comprised of" sense against proscriptionists, even noting that they've found it to be more common in recent literature.
::Ratchet and Clank 1995, can I ask if you have a problem with the sentence, ''"women comprise about 8 percent of our military forces"''? I.e., is it that "sense 3" (as Webster lists it) that you have a problem with altogether, or is it only the form "comprised of" that rubs you the wrong way? I'm afraid that's not entirely clear to me. =P [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:27, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
:::You're still not getting it Ratchet. You're solely removing "comprised of", you're not changing the whole sentence (which would be fine). There's nothing wrong with "comprised of". If something is '''comprised of''' an object it '''contains''' the object. If something '''comprises''' an object it is '''contained''' in the object.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:26, 13 November 2015 (UTC
::::If there truly isn't anything wrong with "comprised of" why would anyone attempt to change it on this encyclopedia? Why when you do a web search are there so many sites saying that there is an issue with the phrase? I believe it's because it's disputed so there is something wrong with it an as I've kept mentioning removing it would avoid the issue. In the most recent edit I removed "comprised" because it was completely redundant and has it made the page any worse? I don't think so and why is there an issue with just removing "comprised of".[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 10:14, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

::::::There are attempts to change it because people believe they are right no matter what others say. Just because there are random sites devoted to the improperness of the phrase does not mean it is wrong. If dictionaries provide the definition that you are arguing so vehemently against, then that means that the definition is commonly accepted and true, and that you need to adapt your point of view. This is a personal crusade that you (Ratchet) have, as you are now the only person arguing in favor of changing the phrase. You don't like the phrase? Don't use it in your own contributions, but that does not give you the right to demand that the phrase be removed because you personally have a problem with the way it is used.

::::::::@Tiddlywinks, I believe that it would be better to use "make up" or "compose" as generally parts make up the whole while the whole comprises the parts.
::::::::@ChE clarinetist, Webster's state "You should be aware, however, that if you use sense 3 you may be subject to criticism for doing so, and you may want to choose a safer synonym such as compose or make up" which shows that they acknowledgethat the phrase isn't universally accepted and advise you to use something else to avoid the issue. The purpose of a dictionary isn't to tell you what is correct its purpose is to tell you what people mean when they use a word therefore even if something is in a dictionary it doesn't mean it's correct. I only brought up the dictionary to state the usage note which shows that it isn't universally accepted. It's not just my opinion as I've mentioned earlier and if it is removed it doesn't need to be reverted.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 17:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::At some point, when a word has been used long enough without being stopped, you can't really argue it anymore—the language has changed, no matter how much you or anyone like-minded may want to continue arguing it; it's not up to you to pick and choose the bits of language that only suit you. Comprised certainly seems to have been used long enough to reach that point; hell, from my point of view, I've never had the suspicion "comprised of" ''wasn't'' right before running into this issue on Bulbapedia, and I think I've grown up fairly well read. In short...just get with the times. =P [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:07, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
::::::::::I don't think "Comprised of" has nearly reached the level where it has become universally accepted because why are there so many sites that discuss the issue? Why do Webster's have that usage note that advises you to use a "safer" synonym? I believe I know why, it's because it hasn't been accepted. A lot of people probably don't know that there's anything wrong with "comprised of" but maybe after reading the issue they might decide to not use it in the future.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 10:44, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Effectively, I'm saying it's at the point of no return; it won't be wished away, or wished out of "proper" discourse. And as I said above, the note on Webster's is rather clearly skeptical of the critics of the "comprised of" sense.

On episode articles featuring first-stage Pokémon (i.e.: Froakie) that appeared in flashbacks but already evolved several episodes ago, would it be okay to link it to the form it's currently in on the list of Pokémon that appeared in the episode so Ash's Froakie's flashback appearance in [[XY086]] occurred way after it evolved meaning I could link it to Frogadier's page, or would that still count as spoilers?

== Regarding edit in Route 4 ==

Hi!

I see that you undid my edit in the [[Kanto Route 4]] page. Regarding the reason you gave, there is only as much north in Route 4 in Gen I and III, as there is in Gen II and IV, as you can see in the route map. As per current info, Mt. Moon is to the north of Route 4 only in Gen II and IV, so how would a player reach Mt. Moon in Gen I and III? They have to go through Route 4 and after entering Route 4, they have to go in the '''Northern''' direction (or rather North-Western), just like in Gen II and IV. If it stays as you have now made it, then it would mean that Mt. Moon cannot be reached through Route 4 in Gen I and III, which is incorrect.

[[User:Ishu bagaria|Ishu bagaria]] ([[User talk:Ishu bagaria|talk]]) 20:32, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

== Pre-evolution tutor moves ==

A while ago, I got into a small [[User_talk:CycloneGU#Tutoring|disagreement]] with another user on how to handle certain pre-evolution exclusive moves. After discussing it for a while on his talk page, he suggested I bring it up with an admin, which I think I meant to do but kind of forgot to until now. The edits in question are [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Musharna_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=2234484&oldid=2234477 here], [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Musharna_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=2234555&oldid=2234543 here], and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ludicolo_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=2234557&oldid=2234549 here]. The source of disagreement was on whether or not certain moves that could only be obtained via pre-evolution in XY but could be tutored in ORAS needed any special indication on the table. I provided a few examples on his talk page of learnsets where this had been done in the past (for move tutors available in Emerald/B2W2/Pt/HGSS but not the other games of the generation), including the Generation V learnsets of both Pokémon in question. I'm just wondering which is correct, the old pages or the new ones? And if the new ones are correct, do the old ones need to be updated, or is it just a special exception for Gen VI?--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 15:12, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
:I feel like the tags also implies that it knows the moves prior to evolution only in those games, as in Musharna would only know Zen Headbutt prior to evolution only in XY, which is obviously not the case. Another thing, the reason of move tutors making the prior learning pointless doesn't really matter. It doesn't mean Zen Headbutt can't be both tutored and learned before evolution. As for which is correct, it's obvious that I'm saying get rid of them, but ask another admin for another opinion. That, and I'm kinda out of touch with the learnlist templates, so I don't really remember which is the correct way.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:31, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

== Mobile browsers and Ads ==

Hi Force Fire.
After writing a long message to only have it not submit properly. I'm trying again.
This issue has been a huge pet peeve of mine for the past month.
Ads, which bind to right side and bottom, take up ~3/4 of a page on a mobile screen. Rendering the use of the wiki page virtually impossible.
They stay outside the frame for the text of the article. But, things like route maps fallout side of those frames on mobile, and then underneath ads.
Also, zooming in doesn't move the ads out of view, they stick with you, so now if something was too small to read, it's large enough but gets covered up.
Lastly. I discovered logging in removes the ads, sure nice, but logging in every time I come here shouldn't be necessary

== Pokémon world in relation to the real world ==

You reverted an edit in which I removed information about a Spearow nicknamed "Kenya". I fail to see how this is relevant because it's just a name, what next "There is a character from the Diamond and Pearl series called Paris, the name of a city in France". If the Spearow called Kenya is allowed then so should the example I listed. The main issue I have with this one is that the others actually mention the location whereas in this instance it is just the name of a Pokemon. Does this mean that any character in Pokemon with a name that is also a place therefore a reference to the to the geographical location?

As there is no other evidence it could still refer to the commune. Your point about people would "most likely" know the country is subjective because it depends on the people you would ask and there are probably some people who haven't heard of the country also do you have any evidence to support your claim? Finally it shouldn't be about how well known a place is because the fact is a Spearow is only named Kenya which could refer to a lot of things or none of them.{{unsigned|Ratchet and Clank 1995}}

If ''no one'' has expanded that article beyond that paltry single sentence in the three years it's been around, then it's pretty solidly ''obscure'' or of low significance.)

(resetting indent) You are just beginning to make up crazy examples now to try to get the article the way you want it. If you name your pet bird Germany, there is really only one thing you can have named it after (the country Germany). Same thing essentially for Kenya. Kenya and Mount Kenya both have their names come from a specific language's name for the mountain, so in effect that is the same thing. However, the mountain is much less known than the country (in fact, I was not aware there was a Mount Kenya until reading this talk). Aside from those specific examples, there is absolutely nothing else of prominence named Kenya, and the country is much more prominent than a mountain that resides within the country Kenya. So yes, in all effect, Kenya in this case would be a reference to the country, and the only way to prove otherwise is to have the person that originally named the Spearow come out and say they named it after something else.

== Thoughts? ==

The five limited-time Pokémon available from Hayley, such as [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Meowth_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2335498&oldid=2330420 this Meowth], should be listed as events because they were special events, even if they weren't directly obtained in the games or via Wifi but were tradeable to the games. Should they get a different layout instead, such as in-game events? I thought the latter is limited to things that are forever obtainable, though. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:33, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think it should count as an event, it was available for a limited time, hell the Haley's Trade page has the Meowth under the Event Pokémon section. I think the current layout would do fine, I personally wouldn't count it as an in game trade as you have to go from one game (to get the Pokémon) to another (to trade it) so it isn't contained into one game, which in game trade (for me) implies.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:48, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
::The question though is that's only available in ''[[My Pokémon Ranch]]'' and you have to then trade it to D/P/Pl. This still qualifies under the event listing? I just want to be sure before doing the other four as well. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:50, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

::::Thought I would jump in here since I just replied on my talk page too about this same discussion. But the "In events" section is typically reserved for events that were distributed directly to the main games and have Wonder Cards. So with them being available in a side game, they would be meeting the criteria for a "In-game event". '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 16:22, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
:::::That was my concern, as well. They don't, I think, meet the criteria for an event with a Wonder Card. That said, they ARE events, without question; players had to "download" the event onto ''My Pokémon Ranch'', they couldn't just play and wait for it to appear. So the question is whether the criteria of having a Wonder Card limits where they go or whether this is a case where we ignore that. I thought it was an in-game event because it's in a side game, has to be acquired in a side game, and then transferred. It's like the [[List of game-based Pok%C3%A9mon distributions in Generation IV#Japanese Pokémon Battle Revolution Pikachu|Battle Revolution Pikachu]] or the Colosseum one from the [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation III#Colosseum Pikachu|bonus disc]]; come to think of it, they are just as game-based as there, so maybe they should also appear on that page and not just on Hayley's trades. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:21, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
::::::A quick addendum to this: most in-game events are permanently available. This also breaks the mould there by being a rare limited-time in-game event. So it has no Wonder Card (unless we just don't know and it actually does), thereby not meeting "events" criteria, and it is limited-time, thereby not meeting in-game criteria completely. Which rule are we going to break here? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:28, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
:::::::These events defiantly do not have Wonder Cards since they had to be traded for and I am pretty sure there aren't Wonder Cards in the game. However, in-game events being available for a limited time isn't unheard of since events like {{DL|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Pokémon Bank Celebi}} are considered in-game events. I would also like to point out that the Pokémon Ranger events in Generation IV were only available via special missions (which had to be downloaded during a specific period of time), so unless you got the mission while it was available you can't obtain the event anymore. And therefore the only way you would still be able to get those events is if you have a game with those missions downloaded on them. However, as for putting the My Pokémon Ranch special Pokémon on the game-based distribution page there is one problem with that. When we overhauled the events section a few years back, we only classified Generation IV game-based events with Wonder Cards as belonging on that page. I don't recall the exact reasons for that though (so when I get I chance I will have to check my logs with {{u|SnorlaxMonster}} to see if we ever elaborated on that).

== The Underground and the Mystery Zone ==

{{u|SatoMew2}} has added a {{DL|The Underground|Mystery Zone}} section to [[The Underground]], believing that "Mystery Zone" is an intentional name for the area. I believe that "Mystery Zone" is, plain and simple, ''nothing'' but a dummy/placeholder name and is not really intended to be a name for the Underground. This appears because the game reads a 0 for [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|the location]], but it is too easy for 0 to just be an initial/default value (never actually meaningfully assigned), so that doesn't amount to good evidence. And of course, "Mystery Zone" is just, logically, not a likely alias for the Underground. SatoMew and I [[User talk:SatoMew2#Underground/Mystery Zone|have tried to discuss]] it, but it doesn't seem we'll agree, so I was hoping you (or someone on staff) could decide whether that section really belongs on the page. Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:42, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
:If it being 0x0000 is not good evidence, then neither would be values other than 0x0000 since that's what happens with the location headers displayed by the game in the [[void]]. The Underground's location header is set to 0x0000 on purpose because there is no "Underground" header programmed.
:This sums up my POV.[[User talk:SatoMew2|サトミュウ (SatoMew)]] 19:09, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
::Can you at least say if this is being considered, or has been?
::To put it very simply, I think the Underground should discuss the ''actual'' Underground (i.e., ''actuall''/real/intended gameplay), and if any relation between [[The Underground]] and the [[Mystery Zone]] really needs to be discussed, it belongs at [[Mystery Zone]] (where bugs and quirks are ''explicitly'' at issue). It's overall rare that any sort of glitch behavior is discussed in detail outside of a Project GlitchDex page, and I think that's as it should be, and something we should take to heart for the Underground as well. The Mystery Zone is not even a significant (easily encounterable, or else infamous) feature of the Underground, not like, say, [[Lumiose City]]'s save bug or perhaps glitches associated with [[Cinnabar Island]]—and ''both'' of those pages relegate mentions of the glitch(es) to Trivia anyway. No, at best, you need to work very ''deliberately'' to enter the Mystery Zone and find the Underground therein, and only then does any of the stuff currently in [[The Underground#Mystery Zone]] become relevant. Title card or no, IMO the "wealth" of Mystery Zone info that is currently being added to [[The Underground]] simply does not belong there. The title card info should IMO just be put in Trivia, and that should be ''all'' of the Mystery Zone that appears on the page. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 08:44, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
:::I'm not too knowledgeable about the internal data stuff, but I think SatoMew2 has contradicted himself. "Even some actual yet unused maps use "Mystery Zone", I mean, sure the Underground was not unused but if the "Mystery Zone" was used for the dummied out stuff, then doesn't that mean "Mystery Zone" itself is just a dummy/placeholder? Because of that, I think it should not be in the underground article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:36, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
::::I didn't contradict myself. "Mystery Zone" is seen in both used and unused locations, and there are unused locations that don't use it. These locations are intentionally set to use the header as opposed to falling back to it during gameplay.
::::The fact that we just stick everything into Trivia sections is another matter altogether ("it's OK because we have always done it like this" is not a good excuse).

:::::I think the amount of effort you do or don't need to encounter a bug does very much matter. If it's very easy, then it deserves modest coverage; otherwise, however, it only deserves a small mention (in Trivia or wherever, I don't at this exact moment care), maybe a link to a Project GlitchDex page where it can be covered in detail, but a bug, ''unintended by definition'', does not (IMO) deserve extensive coverage among all the normal behavior of a thing.

== [[XY095]] ==

A few pokemon fans pointed out a couple months ago that new pokemon merchandise was being released featuring the cast of the anime. (You can simply google "Chespin Evolving Merchandise" to find a lot of the links, since I know Bulbapedia is a bit weird about directly posting the links.) Now, I posted an idea on another forum that casually talks about the anime, but apparently the idea is gaining momentum on some of the bigger pokemon forums. That Ash is going to catch the Quilladin in this episode. It might be worth to pre-emptively semi-protect this page. Not full on protection obviously as it's just a silly fan idea, but a semi-protect might be worth it because although there's no clear evidence (which would be cause for a full on protection), I would think there's enough that people would be drawn to eventually edit the page as they start seeing people talk about it. The merchandise alone seems to suggest a Quilladin WILL be a part of the team sometime soon and there's been nothing to suggest Clemont's will evolve.
Coupled with the fact that suddenly, there's this episode which takes place after the poster line-up, which happens to have said pokemon in it, and happens to be the correct type Ash needs to fill in his usual Water/Fire/Grass elemental wheel and of the correct stage to not be a direct copy of Clemont. This wouldn't be completely unheard of, as a user on said board who talks casually about the anime, Misty did have both Staryu and Starmie on her team at the same time, so although it'd be a first for two different people to have different evos of the same pokemon, it's not entirely unheard of. Obviously, up to you/other admins on if they want to wait to see if people start trying to add it, but I figure pre-emptive strikes might be worth it? [[User:Myzou|Myzou]] ([[User talk:Myzou|talk]]) 02:17, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps I'm late to the party discussing this, but these examples above, I think, demonstrate why we needn't put this note on Talonflame's page. The only example of a Pokémon changing its ability in the anime is Paul's Electivire which as a species loses access to Static in favour of Motor Drive. I know that anime doesn't always go by the same rules as the games but we have consistently been shown Pokémon using the same abilities throughout all stages of there evolution.

:It's done on [[Ash's Leavanny]]. Sceptile is automatically invalid since at the time, it only had one ability. Fletchinder and Talonflame have two, the primary and hidden ability. The writers could decide to give Talonflame its hidden ability for whatever reason. Yes, that's speculation but it is also speculation when you assume Talonflame has the same ability as Fletchinder just because it also normally has Flame Body.

Seriously, why are you an admin and whoever gave you the power of the undo button must want this site to burn. It is easily seen as Slash in XY071.

Stop doing counter productive things.--[[User:Pikablu|Pikablu]] ([[User talk:Pikablu|talk]]) 05:37, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
:Could've been Scratch. Or False Swipe. Or Cut. Or Fury Swipes. Yes, I know it can't learn Scratch or Fury Swipes, but the anime can make it use those moves because... just because. Anyways, we don't assume the moves of a Pokémon unless it is stated by one of the characters. Just because it looks like a move, doesn't mean it ''is'' the move. Hydro Pump and Water Gun basically share the same animation in the anime. So does Bubble and Bubblebeam. So does Bite and Crunch. So does Thunderbolt and ThunderShock. So does HeadButt and Tackle. So does Explosion and Self-destruct. So does Wrap, Bind, and Constrict. Bottom line, many moves share an animation so don't just assume a move.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:59, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
::Force Fire, I have to wonder weather you actually watch the anime? The suspected moves in question being Pangoro's Slash, Glaceon's Ice Shard, Flareon's Fire Spin, Vaporeon's Aqua Jet and Jolteon's Thunder; of these the only one that could be argued is perhaps Jolteon's Thunder, although I'd wager highly that Thunder was the move used. If the move is not named on screen how can we be sure what that move is? Well it turns out there is a precedent (an earlier event or action that is regarded as an example or guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances) for that.

::When the episode BW007 aired we saw Snivy use an unidentifiable grass type attack; the move used a new animation and there was no way of telling what the move used was, the same happed in XY003 when the Flethcling Ash was battling used an unidentifiable move with its wings. In both cases the moves were not documented at the time whatsoever, other moves like Vine Whip and Double Team were not named in the respective episodes but they were assumed to be those moves as the animations are conclusive. The former two moves were later revealed to be Leaf Storm and Razor Wind, as the two Pokémon continually appeared with the main cast, and they were documented on Bulbapedia as if they were known from the start. The problem here is that none of these Pokémon are on the main cast and its not certain we'll get confirmation in the same way that we did with Leaf Storm and Razor Wind. However, nearly half of the moves used in the anime and indeed the moves documented on Bulbapedia were unnamed and assumed.

::There are even moves used in the same episodes that were unnamed and yet assumed here. Further precedents take us back to "White—Victini and Zekrom" and "Black—Victini and Reshiram" where in the movie, Reshiram used a fire type move that was unnamed on screen. The head of the entire Anime project: Kenji- Girl was asked weather she thought the move was Flamethrower or Overheat, she decided it was Flamethrower and it is documented as such. Keji- Girl's example in this situation is to use our initiative and simply agree.

::Furthermore, in Tangrowth's debut episode, it used a move where its arm glowed purple and it struck the opponent, unnamed in the episode but nevertheless documented as Poison Jab for several years before one user recognised the moves animation more closely resembled Power Whip, a move that had not been shown again and named for almost a year after Tangowth's debut. The appropriate changes were made one the '''consensus''' had been made.

::In the case of Pangoro's attack, we have always assumed legitimate attacks before errors, ruling out Scratch and Fury Swipes, Cut has been shown in the XY anime and the animation is distinguishable. The case you put forward for False Swipes is the only one with grounds however my rebottle is that we, historically, assume a move that sees a lot of use over a move rarely seen. The move matches Slash and we have no false swipes to compare it to.

::Glacoen's move, I can hardly believe is even subject to debate. The animation matches BW's Ice Shard. While was have not yet seen Ice Shard used and named in XY. We can surely assume the move is Ice Shard, same as we assumed that Golbat used Air Slash in XY052; the move was never named and it has not appeared at any other time in XY but we assumed it to be Air Slash as it shared the animation with the BW Air Slash.

::Flareon's very clearly used Fire Spin as the stream of dire instantly began to form circles. This is what we've always recognised as the distinguishing factor between Flamethrower and Fire Spin. This has been used many times when the move was neither specified Flamethrower of Fire spin. Both pages have many times listed where the move was not named on screen but the initiative of the users arrived at a decision. On a side note, assuming you have actually seen the clip of the move in question, do you doubt the move is Fire Spin?

::As with the case of Ice Shard, the animation of the move used by Vaporeon matches BW's depiction (and DP's, for that matter) of Aqua Jet. This move would be, however, an error and as I argued in Pangoro's case "''we have always assumed legitimate attacks before errors''". My aforementioned statement, while still having validity concerning Pangoro, has no bearing on Vaporeon and is in no way a contradiction. Anime move errors happen a lot, in the XY series we've seen a Fletchling use Feather Dance and a Slurpuff using Electro ball, two errors, however they were named. Nidoran♂'s Bite, Froslass's Slash, Dusknoir's Rapid Spin, Regigigas's Hammer Arm, Baltoy and Claydol's Shock Wave, Politoad's Jump Kick, Skunktank's X- Scissor, Uxie and Mespirit's Teleport, Chingling and Chimecho's Sing, Kricetune's Bullet Seed, Unown's Psychic and Tediursa's Pound are only half of the errors documented on bulbapedia that were not named onscreen. These are precedents that say the animation is conclusive. Your comment that "''the other[s] could be illegal moves as well''" is a nonsensical argument; you may as well argue that May caught another Venasaur rather than evolving it from Bulbasaur because it was never said to have evolved on screen. Or even that every time Ash's Pikachu has ever used Thunderbolt, it was a script error and the move was actually Thundershock. Your argument is pedantic.

::Thuder, Thundershock and Thunderbolt have always been similar animations if not the same. However, Thunder has always made a louder sound. To leave this particular move of Jolteon's undocumented would mean most of the times these three moves and discharge are documented will have to be removed. We must come to an agreement as we always have done.

::Finally, don't take my repeated use of the word "''assume''" as basis for a counter argument, as I'll reiterate that assumptions about moves have been made more than they actually have been confirmed. If you're sticking to the argument where unconfirmed moves should be left undocumented, you have a lot of editing to do because these are only the latest in thousands of instances of a move that has not been named.

:::No assumptions. That's the Bulbapedia rule with ANY content. This is an Ash's Charizard gender debate all over again. We require CONCRETE, undeniable proof of anything around here. Otherwise we're not being professional and accurate. And FYI, Force Fire said on the Forums that he does not watch the anime as actively. --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 16:40, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

{{indent}}Yes, I do watch the anime, at least the important episodes (captures, gym battles, evolutions). We can only use precedence if the move in questions has a unique animation (like {{m|Vine Whip}} or {{m|Double Team}}, since they have unique animations). Slash shares its animation with other "claw" moves like {{m|Fury Swipes}} or {{m|Cut}}. Leaf Storm and Razor Wind didn't get documented because they could've been {{m|Razor Leaf}} or {{m|Air Cutter}}.

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Kenji-girl/Archive_21#Flamethrower_or_Overheat This was the only conversation about Reshiram's] move that I could find, and she didn't even give an answer. Yet, you added it in anyway, so I believe that you ''think'' she gave an answer, but she didn't. As for Power Whip, both Poison Jab and Power Whip have a unique animation in the anime (at least, so far) so that was correct.

Back to the topic, just because we haven't seen a Pokémon use False Swipe doesn't mean that the animators won't make a Pokémon use False Swipe. They can do whatever they want, thus we won't know and we won't assume we know. As for the Eeveelutions, they were fantasized as being used on a Showcase, so it could've been stylized versions of Flamethrower (Flareon), Thunderbolt (Jolteon), Random Water move that isn't really clear on what it was (Vaporeon) and Icicle Spear (Glaceon), may seem like a stretch, but still... showcase fantasy.

As for the other assumed moves, those were from a time before we had the "don't assume" rule. Whether we'll go through them, I don't know. May's Venusaur had to evolve because it's known that she had a Bulbasaur. It's not like Paul's Weavile where we don't know if he caught it as a Sneasel. You Pikachu example doesn't hold water as it's always been called Thunderbolt in both the Japanese and the English dub. Thunder having a "louder" sound doesn't amount to anything.

Again the assumed move of the past were from before we had the "don't assume" rule. And whether we'll go through them is up in the air.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:28, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
:In regards to Reshiram's Flamethrower, I remembered that incorrectly, so it should be disregarded. However my point about, May's Venasaur is that we assumed it had evolved from Bulbasaur, this was never stated (see Lenora's Herdier for a similar argument that went the other way on the whim of an admin) and Pikachu's Thunderbolt, I meant an error with the Japanese script (see Roxanne's Nosepass) but I'm obviously not arguing those things, they are just examples of pedantic arguments akin to your own. (Pedantic means "excessively concerned with rules and minor details to the point you become difficult) It would be like saying Brock's Onix didn't evolve into Steelix, Forrest could have lied and the Steelix Brock reunites with is just an actor hired to cover up the fact Onix is dead at the bottom of the ocean. We never actually saw that Onix evolve, now did we?

:This mythical "we don't assume" rule, only seems to have come into effect during XY071 and was lifted right up until XY090, though it still seemed to fluctuate relevance during the episode.

:I think you are arguing black is white. I think your just saying "I am an admin and I'm right no matter what", which you'll probably get away with here but that's not gonna do you much good in the real world. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 11:21, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
::Original Japanese dub trumps all, that's why we don't count Herdier and Lillipup as one. Pokémon is a different case to the moves. We base the Pokémon on what we know, we know May had a Bulbasaur, so when it reappeared as a Venusaur under her command, we put two and two together. Moves are different, unless the move has a unique animation (like Double Team or Vine Whip), we cannot put two and two together because some (if not, a majority of) moves share the same animation.
::The "don't assume" rule is more like a common sense thing. If we don't know what something is, don't guess. Wait until it gets revealed or just leave it be. It's like the VAs, we don't guess or play by ear, we go to the VAs themselves and ask.
::Just so you are aware, I have spoken to Kogoro about the matter (I asked that we don't assume moves unless said move has a unique animation) and her response was "pretty much". I am not abusing my powers, I am just going by what I know from past experience, how we usually do things here and what my fellow admins and higher ups say.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:40, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
:::As far as Fire Spin, Ice Shard and Aqua Jet go, we do know what they are, the only one to have a problem with this was the original user to revert the edits, if he hadn't said anything you'd have no doubt those moves were Fire Spin, Ice Shard and Aqua Jet. Slash is something we can deduce from this "common sense thing" you so patronisingly mentioned.

:::And it seems I remember the Herdier situation a bit better, i'm aware that Japanese dub trumps all. The original made no mention of Herdier having evolved from lillipup the same way it did not mention Venasaur (or indeed Drew and Nando's Roserade) but "two and two" weren't put together then. You can see why I think most admins here choose whichever rules they want to follow as and when they feel like it.

:::I'm sure you did a great job explaining to kongoro why you think your right.

:::Can I ask why Fire Spin and the others are being denied but Razor Leaf and Fairy Wind from the same episode are okay?

:::Be honest now, PlayerKing is only a regular user on here, but he holds some kind of seniority on the forums. That's the staff bias. Furthermore Pikablu is a fairly new user so it's easy to assume he's wrong, perhaps a trouble maker for arguing the case. Then comes along a long time user with a sound argument that you cannot really deny (the only points you've addressed were The Reshiram situation, which I remembered wrong though it still does not deter my case, and my hypotheticals about Venasaur and Pikachu which you either don't fully understand or your just looking for something to argue with) and you as the "senior admin" can't admit you may be wrong. These five moves are literally the only ones that aren't noted down because they haven't been named on screen, while every other time this happened the move was deduced through common sense [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 10:54, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
::::If the moves weren't fantasized about being used in an event that involves showing off a Pokémon (i.e. Showcase), then maybe. But since it was fantasized as being used in an event that involves showing off a Pokémon (i.e. Showcase), there's the ambiguity of whether it's a stylized version of another move (because again, showing off a Pokémon).
::::I've always assumed that we did what we did with Venusaur (and Roserade) because of common sense. We know they had a Bulbasaur and Roselia at one point, so when they reappeared in their evolved form, we put two and two together. Those were done before I was an admin I believe, so if you to ask why they were given the okay, go ask Kenji-Girl.
::::And that's literally all I said to Kogoro, I literally asked if we don't assume moves unless said move has a unique combination and she replied with "Pretty much". I didn't parade that I was right, I just asked a straightforward question and got a straightforward response.
::::As for Razor Leaf and Fairy Wind, they most likely just slipped by.
::::Just because Playerking was the one that started it, doesn't mean we are biased. He was just following the common sense rule of "no assuming". I've already gave reasons against your examples. We know May had a Bulbasaur, it reappears as a Venusaur, common sense. Pikachu's Thunderbolt has always been called out as Thunderbolt in both the original and the dub. As for all the other moves that were assumed and whether we remove them, take that up to the Editorial Board as that would be a major change.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:22, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

I have a couple questions/concerns regarding [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Staff_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_Snap&diff=prev&oldid=2349590 a recent edit] to the [[Staff of Pokémon Snap]] page. First and foremost: {{u|Technickal}} added "Tara Jayne as Bulbasaur (uncredited)", and I know Technickal has had issues with sourcing before, so perhaps someone had better double check that this addition actually measures up to Bulbapedia's standards? (On the other hand, it also [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJtEjrNmTR4&t=1m25s looks like] Rachael Lillis and "Madeleine"/Maddie Blaustein aren't in the actual (English?) end credits either, so...I guess either those also don't belong or they're all OK? Or maybe those were confirmed adequately somewhere?)

Of lesser concern, I'm also kind of wondering if the addition of "as Professor Oak" and "as Todd Snap" and all that is okay? Basically, I'm half under the impression it's supposed to be like a duplicate of the end credits, so maybe that's not quite appropriate. Or maybe it's not appropriate for some other reason, I don't know. (This one also applies to the [[Staff of Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]] page.)

== String Shot ==

Look at Playerking95's recent edit reverting me on this page; {{m|String Shot}}. The case put forth is, don't assume the move was String Shot. In case you haven't seen the recent episode, Ariados took captive a prisoner by entangling him in its thread. Playerking says the move may not be String Shot because Ariados can produce thread regardless. This would be fine, if all the other times Ariados spat thread (and it wasn't named) it wasn't documented as String Shot, however it was. In fact Ariados has used what was documented as String Shot yet not named twice in the XY series, the former being only two episodes before the one Playerking fought so counter productively to remove the documentation of Pangoro's Slash, (Which I think is further evidence of how volatile this 'no assuming' crusade quite is) It feels like Playerking95 is targeting me now, with no regard for Bulbipedia's precedence or conventions, his only purpose to oppose myself. As the admin who may be responsible for enabling this kind of behaviour, I thought I'd raise the issue with yourself.

== Stages in Pokémon Picross ==

Any chance [[User:CycloneGU/Pokémon Picross Stages|Pokémon Picross Stages]] can be speedily approved for mainspace on the basis of Shuffle stage data being split already? Already completed up to Area 07, and we're working through it to fill in the data. Further, with over 300 puzzles (304 to be exact) just for Pokémon, it's just as large as Shuffle right now in terms of game size; the userspace page right now is already over 60,000 bytes while the main article is only 16,000, so it makes sense to update the stage data separately from the main page and leave the main page for other game details (skills can stay there this time around, only 12 in the game). I see no harm in providing a "more information" link and using the "stages": section to detail the various modes of play (standard play, Alt Mode, Mega Pencil, etc.).

Also have [[User:CycloneGU/List of Pokémon in Pokémon Picross|this]] on the go, and the data on that also needs filling in. Short of a Pastebin file from somewhere giving up the details (like Shuffle), we have to do this the long and hard way, but at least we have an accurate Pokémon list to work with. That list follows the precedent of making a list of Pokémon for every Pokémon game. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:37, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

:::::Not sure what you mean by it being a cluttered mess? I'm trying to fit in as much information as possible, but if you think something can be removed, I'm all ears. I already moved a couple of things off of the page to the Pokémon list page, but I don't know what else I can move without leaving data incomplete. Unless we can merge columns somewhere? I don't see a good way to do it; the only possibility is merging energy and stage size into one column unless there's something else you have in mind. But yeah, we can discuss that later.

:::::I'll reorg the list back to NDex order for the species list and add more stage data, then I'll move it into place.

::::::One more quick question. Unless I'm beaten to doing it (and that's fine!), I'm going to eventually add the sidegames entries for Pokémon Picross for the relevant Pokémon, noting for those with Mega forms both stages (48 have Mega forms, so only 256 pages to actually edit). I know the entries for [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] (for which all 720 will eventually get one) must precede it being released a mere two weeks earlier, and even earlier in Japan, but what background template should I use with the Picross entries? I can edit that down and prep 256 entries with it and go on an editing binge to add them one at a time, and any pages missing the Super Mystery Dungeon entry I can leave a commented out version for. For now, I'm going to finish the species list and get it into mainspace by tomorrow, but that's on my mind for afterwards; another editor is helping add the mission data, and I'll be doing an Alt World page soon as well (again prepping in userspace).

:::::::The individual Picross info for all Pokémon (which I assume is what you mean), would probably be implemented into the already existing side games template.

::::::::I was presuming it would just be a single line like all the others. The question was more what colour to use.

[[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 07:56, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

{{indent}}

I can do that, then. However, I would suggest, as Picross is a puzzle game (like Shuffle), that it should be the Beauty colour scheme. That's just my opinion, and it will likely be a little bit before I get to updating them, so if a decision is made on that prior to my using the yellow, please let me know. I don't really mind whatever is used on the sidegames layouts as each line just follows the page. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:37, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
:All right, both pages are mainspaced. I already accounted for the stage list at the main article and added some info on other things related to gameplay, most notably the Mega Pencil and the possible rewards earned by using it on puzzles (and then those Megas on other missions), giving an eventual theoretical cost to the Pencil in actual Picrites that are not earned back. I plan to expand the main article with a medals list, but I checked with my data ripper who notes the [http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/183130-pokemon-picross/cheats GameFAQs version], while correct, doesn't account for "further challenge" medals (I am guessing they are unlocked upon game completion) and is also referred to by my ripper helper as "a partial version of Serebii" with some of the descriptions being "made up, not data ripped". I will follow up on this and see if I can get the proper data-ripped list for the article as this would be ideal to include.

:Meanwhile, for the list, can you edit it appropriately into the [[Template:Pokelist]] and onto the associated page? I'll let you determine the best placement on both, though I'd suggest side games (like Shuffle). [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 22:50, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

== "Salty" ==

I'm extremely bewildered by your statements that I'm... removing the trivia point on Elgyem and Beheeyem due to a personal bias and that I'm "salty?"
No.
I removed it for the following reasons, which were not at all ambiguous in the edit summaries:
The trivia point originally speculated that it '''may have''' been a reference to Area 51. This was deemed speculative. I understand why that is, and I have not once added the speculation back. Still, '''how is outright saying it was "probably" an error any less speculative than saying it was "possibly" deliberate?''' No, I assure you I'm not asking for the other speculation to be added back - you might notice that, again, '''neither''' of my edits did so.
Rather, I removed the speculation, so it was more neutral. This was reverted because it wasn't notable without speculation.
Speculation isn't allowed.
So if there couldn't be speculation, but the trivia point was unnotable - according to '''someone else''' - then how am I emotionally biased or "salty" in removing it completely? I thought that was what people were SUPPOSED to do to speculation and to unnotable trivia.
Next time, give a '''reason''' if you're going to revert someone's edit - I was under the impression edit warring wasn't allowed, and calling me "salty" is just ad hominem that doesn't contribute to Bulbapedia at all.

== Question==

I was checking out your manga trivia policy and one thing I would like to see if it is notable is that in Viz's last two releases of the Black and White volumes a number of titles are different from the previous mini-volume releases and I handled it by putting the main volumes titles as the primary title and added mini-volume titles as trivia.

== Noticed a glitch in the ΩRαS Pokédex ==

I was filling out the Pokédex in ΩRαS when I noticed something odd in both OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire. You know how in the upper screen of the Pokédex, it shows all of the Pokémon's sprite icons? For some reason, if you have Salamence set as Mega Salamence, the sprite still shows regular Salamence instead of its Mega form. This is odd since all other Mega Pokémon, if set up as such, appear as their Mega evolutions, not as their original forms. How should I write this bug? Do I post this error as trivia in the Pokédex page, or do I make an Error section and post it there, or should I put this on Salamence's page? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 05:35, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

== By this site's own logic... ==
If Misha's TG Purrloin proves that Pokémon can act against their biological gender, and therefore non-binary Pokémon exist, then aren't Attract, Cute Charm and Captivate insufficient evidence for male or female Pokémon in the anime because a gay or lesbian Pokémon could attract a gay or lesbian Pokémon, therefore rendering those moves meaningless as evidence? So should all anime genders that are based Attract and Cute Charm be removed unless their biological gender was stated outright by a human who wasn't assuming based on Attract/Cute charm? --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 02:28, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
:Attract and Cute Charm only affect opposite genders.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:38, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
::But that means that gay and lesbian Pokémon can't use those successfully in the anime, which would be incredibly hoophobic...but does Misha's Purrloin, the only evidence of LGBTQA Pokémon, prove there are more of such? Or was that behavior just a deception of cis-gendered Pokémon a plot device of that isn't reflective of it's sexuality? Is it proof that Pokémon act in non-binary genders, or do Pokémon's cis-gender behaviors encompass a more diverse range of stereotypes associated with multifaceted shades of masculine and feminine stereotypes than needing to be attributed to a LGBTQA identity? If we need to continue this on the forums, just say so... --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 04:14, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

::So if that Purrloin acting feminine/pretending to be female means nothing about sexuality, does that disprove the theory that Charixard could be female even though Pokémon acting against their binary gender has nothing to do with sexuality? Charizard is in love with a biological female of its species, and if, according to the anime rule that since Attract cannot act between gay or lesbian Pokémon, therefore gay Pokémon do not exist in that universe if the psychosexual properties established for Infatuation by that world's science(pseudo as it is) doesn't allow for such, therefore all Pokémon are cis, and therefore all Pokémon with confirmed genders who have crushed on other Pokémon are cis, therefore all confirmed females are crushing on males and vice versa, meaning that Pokémon like Charizard and Pancham are male. That is my question...since Misha's Purrloin supposedly is why Charizard might be female, but since you just admitted that infatuation is cis in the anime's universe, how is Charizard a lesbian if Charla is a confirmed female, and not a Misha's Purrloin case in a universe whose own science doesn't let infatuation work according to sexuality, but to binary genders? How does Misha's Purrloin disprove Charizard being male if Purrloin isn't actively TG, proving that LGBTQA Pokémon exist, therefore making Charizard a potential lesbian? The whole Charizard gender debate hinges on Misha's Purrloin being TG in order to prove that LGBTQA Pokémon exist, and that supposedly made it so Charizard is undetermined to be male because it could be pulling a Misha's Purrloin in order to have a relationship with Charla, since, according to the Misha's Purrloin principle, Charizard might be a lesbian pretending to be a man in order to have a relationship with "her" crush. Is Misha's Purrloin sufficient evidence of LGBTQA Pokémon to throw all gender debates of the CHarizard-Pancham type(in addition to gendered actions, speech patterns and other things of that sort)into chaos because of the possibility of LGBTQA relationships among Pokémon, despite gay/lesbian and TG infatuation being impossible according to the anime's own logic?--[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 05:04, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

If you watch XY082 where Gourgiest's Lech Seed failed, you'll see that the small pellets all broke but whenever we see seed bomb collided with another attack, they explode.

Of course as soon as I make an edit that can be disputed in any possible way Playerking comes along and reverts it. I've said before that this user is targeting me, but you've done nothing.

:::It's still too early for any subs to be out, just so you know. I added the info in the same day as the episode was released on a site I watch it on.

All you have to do is just go and ''watch'' the Japanese episode around 11 minutes where Hawlucha stops Pikachu in like I said.

If you did, then you'd hear Ash calling the battle between Noibat and Breloom a "man to man fight" (otoko o otoko tatakai da). After Noibat got up, Ash also said something like "Sore de koso otoko da!", which I think it "That's how a man is!" or whatever.

"Otoko" translates to "man" basically, so by Ash calling Noibat's battle with Breloom with a masculine word like "otoko", it confirms Noibat (and Breloom I guess)'s gender. Meowth even calls him a man too. Even though I've even brought it up on the talk page before I put the info up, you assumed that I randomly put it up without proof.

== Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon ==

There is no need for a separate table for Primal form at {{p|Kyogre}}. Because only one ability can be active, a Primal Groudon or Mega Rayquaza activating its ability after Primal Kyogre it would in turn render Primal Kyogre subject to attacks as if it was not in Primal form. Groudon can also be in this situation and should also be noted as such, but the type table still differs there due to different typing and both tables are still needed there. Therefore, a note under Kyogre's type table referencing the ability would be sufficient; a similar note can be placed under Primal Groudon's type table, but not under Groudon's itself.

I'll research the format for notes under the table, and once I have that set up I will remove the additional table for Primal Kyogre as there is otherwise absolutely no difference. I see no reason to keep it separated for the same data. Primal Groudon's will simply be notated. See Kyogre's talk page for my reply to the user who brought up the issue, as well.

::(Note: This was meant to be for CycloneGU, but I did not realize that this was not their talkpage until later on. Sorry for the trouble, Force Fire.)

::I believe the following code could be added correctly, though it might need rewriting to be optimal, consistent, and for phasing (It does not use "NewFire," "NewWater," etc. as the code does for ''most'' type matchups other than Immune due to alterations to the Type Chart for existing types in Gen I-II and Gen V-VI. Additionally, items could work around the ability, like our 'friend' Ring Target. Furthermore, the switch might need to use 'maybe' as the Pokémon only use this as a Hidden Ability, but I did not get that far to see if maybe counts for Primary/Hidden or just Primary/Secondary. Likely would require 'maybe'. Finally, I do not know how to describe an Ability as being active and having been replace effectively.): <nowiki>{{#switch: {{{primordialsea|no}}}|yes|maybe=*If this Pokémon has {{acolor|Primordial Sea|000}} active, the effectiveness of {{typecolor2|Fire}} moves is 0×}}{{#switch: {{{desolateland|no}}}|yes|maybe=*If this Pokémon has {{acolor|Desolate Land|000}} active, the effectiveness of {{typecolor2|Water}} and {{typecolor2|Electric}} moves is 0×, the effectiveness of {{typecolor2|Ground}} moves is 2×, the effectiveness of {{typecolor2|Poison}}, {{typecolor2|Bug}}, {{typecolor2|Steel}}, {{typecolor2|Fire}}, and {{typecolor2|Fairy}} moves is ½×, and the effectiveness of all other moves is 1×.
*If this Pokémon had activated {{acolor|Desolate Land|000}} and their opponent has {{acolor|Primordial Sea|000}} or {{acolor|Delta Sea|000}} as active, then the effectiveness of {{typecolor2|Water}} moves is 4× until Desolate Land is active again.}}</nowiki> One issue is the the notes seem to usuaaly work from the current ability or Mega Evolution of the Pokémon (and thus, Type Effectiveness) and then gives scenarios that would alter or remove that ability or alter the type matchups through altering the type. However, Primal Pokémon work based on their ability, so I believe that this case in the notes would be permitted.

Hello, what I was getting at in M13 was that Psychic's effectiveness hasn't been proven to not work on Dark types in the anime. Kenji-girl removed a similar point from BW53. I was also thinking that it cannot be done in the games regardless what I mean is that it's impossible to use Psychic to levitate yourself or anyone else, if it was then you could probably get passed every obstacle and then there won't be much of a game. In the games where Psychic only does damage it can be used for assistance in the anime and they aren't strict on types so they're differences and not errors.

Regarding [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY108&curid=209755&diff=2406530&oldid=2406523 this edit], do you have any source that says that "heroes's" is an acceptable plural possessive form of hero? I know with proper nouns, either way is acceptable, but to my knowledge, with common nouns, the only proper way is to add the apostrophe after the s.

== Name Origin Igglybuff/Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff ==
As per previous discussion I feel that the inclusion fuusen in any of the name origin sections for any of these pokemon is misinformation. (Fukureru seems justifiable for Wigglytuff only.) The reason I feel this way is because of the literal names used for these Pokemon in their original Japanese releases and a reasonable understanding of how Japanese works as a language.

Jigglypuff is Purin, that is not up for debate and neither is the fact that it literally means pudding in Japanese. That should be the primary name origin regardless of anyone's opinion on whether it makes sense because it only has to make sense to Satoshi Tajiri.
Technical reasons that Fuusen is highly unlikely to factor into Purin... First of all the fuu part of fuusen has a long vowel. In Japanese these long vowels are very important because they make the difference between two completely unrelated words and/or just plain gibberish. If Tajiri had intended for Jigglypuff's name to imply a combination of Fuusen and Purin it would likely have been something/anything different from plain old purin. Without that long U there is no implication of any other word besides purin. Fukureru doesn't factor in either because fuku is a single word on it's own. Splitting it off and adding a dakuten transforms it beyond recognition just as much if not more than shortening fuu. There are just too many steps to getting fuusen and fukureru to fit meaningfully into Purin. Like as if I were to make a dinosaur pokemon and call it Chase and expect people to know I mean a combination of chance and case because its the Container pokemon. Plus look at it from the point of view that the name itself is trying to tell you something about the pokemon. Why would it make sense for Jigglypuff to be named pudding? Because Tajiri is trying to tell you that this pokemon is soft and jiggly like Japanese pudding. My fictional pokemon Chase is a long legged dinosaur with a body shaped like a container, but I called it chase to tell you it like to run after things. Maybe my fictional localizers renamed Chase to Runbucket to make the meaning more obvious, I dunno.

I can see how purin might not make sense right away, but fuusen makes even less sense. It is literally the category name. I would be surprised if in Japanese it didn't say Pokemon no Fuusen. I've already pointed out some pokemon that have names that are either fully or partially unrelated names to their categories, so there is a precedent for it. If you still can't see how fuusen doesn't fit into these names then I don't know what to tell you. From my point of view you are telling me that apple is a combination of ape and application because they both have an 'a' in it and never mind the left over 'e'.

== Espeon Trivia ==
Please stop referring to the obvious reference to Final Fantasy's Carbuncle as "Opinion". The shiny sprite's color was deliberate(Like with Charizard) otherwise the forehead stone would have changed color. Both are bright green fuzzy critters with red jewels on their heads from popular roleplaying games put out on Nintendo consoles. Magic Bounce ''is'' Reflect.

[[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 08:04, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:That's purely a coincidence. Just because the two share the same color scheme doesn't mean that one is based off the other.

:: It isn't just color scheme, it is also appearance and powers. It is as much a reference to Carbuncle as Tyranitar is to Godzilla. It's like saying Solid Snakes Code name in MGS2 isn't a reference to ''Escape From New York'' because Snake Plisskin is a copyrighted character. Also, need I bring up the Power Rangers reference from ORAS? Shiny Espeon = Carbuncle, it is requiring you to ignore 6/7ths of my proof and bend over backwards to dispute it.

A nod to another game from the same publisher is hardly a scandal, it's an Easter Egg. An obvious and transparent one. Creatures based on the Carbuncle of legend have been made in every color of the rainbow, so the choice to make Espeon green like the one from Final Fantasy, the only well-known Carbuncle at the time, is an obvious nod.[[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 08:46, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
::::: No, it's not bending over backwards. The color scheme is part of its appearance, just like the gem on its forehead is part of its appearance.

Shiny Espeon is not only a big-eared green critter like Carbuncle, it also has a red forehead jewel and summons a reflective barrier like Carbuncle. That is too many specific similarities to be coincidence. I have yet to see you offer proof that it is coincidence. [[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 16:21, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::ForceFire doesn't need to offer proof of a coincidence, you need to offer proof that the designers definitively took inspiration from that FF character. Since your whole premise rests on the Shiny version, I'm inclined to agree with ForceFire that it is entirely coincidence with the way their color-changing scheme works for creating the Shiny variants. [[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 16:33, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::: Espeon's shiny color was intentional and constructed by the developers(Similar to Charizard's), as the standard method would have turned it ''blue'', like every other purple pokemon out there(Gligar, Gastly, Swalot, etc.). As if the designers taking the time to give it a unoqie Shiny color isn't proof enough, It also is not just a general resemblance; it copies specific features and abilities in a combination exclusively attributed to Carbuncle. And please don't insult my intelligence by saying he doesn't need to offer proof; In my previous Pangoro example, I can heap on oodles of proof that its resemblance to Jotaro Kujo is a coincidence by digging up actual pictures of Japanese thugs and other "Bancho" characters from other works of fiction. I haven't found a single other green critter with a red forehead jewel that has reflective powers that isn't named "Carbuncle" in fiction, unless it's called "Espeon". [[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 16:52, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::: To humor you, I did the pallet-shifting method on the Espeon sprite. In order to get Green fur, I had to basically invert its color completely. However, its fur color was very dull and its gem turned blue, a far cry from the bright green fur and ruby-red gem in the actual sprites. In order to get Shiny Espeon's combined colors, they had to have edited the sprite beyond a simple hue shift. [[User:Kohdok|Kohdok]] ([[User talk:Kohdok|talk]]) 17:05, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::: Or it could just be a random choice of colors to be different and it just happens to share the same color as Carbuncle. Having the same features does not mean Espeon is '''based off''' the Carbuncle, it just means that the two are '''based off''' the same thing. And having psychic abilities is a coincidence. It's like saying Sentret is '''based off''' the Tanuki suit from Mario because of its tail, the concept of the Tanuki did not originate from Mario and both are '''based off''' the same thing. Pangoro does resemble (and is '''based off''') a thug or Bancho characters, '''in general''', it is NOT '''based off''' a specific character.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:24, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

== XY ''Version'' ==
Well, the problem is, that it is in the "Wanted pages" page, so why don't sombody do something, otherwise everybody will make that page again and again, and everytime again it will be deleted? [[User:Lokki|Lokki]] ([[User talk:Lokki|talk]]) 17:34, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
:You are always welcome to fix red links via [[Special:WhatLinksHere]]. We do not want to have redirects made just because someone is unable to use link templates properly. This encourages linking to redirects, which we want to steer away from. It is easier to notice a red link than it is to notice the use of a link to a redirect. Now the pages that were previously linking to "Pokémon X and Y Version" have been relinked, so it should be taken off the [[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]] soon. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 17:50, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

== Squishy setting to reappear ==

I spoke to Shadoguardian three days ago regarding an edit on [[Squishy]]'s page but he hasn't got back to me. He added the content stating that Squishy was set to reappear in [[M19]], I removed it as only human characters get those instead of Pokémon. He then readded the content without stating why. That was when I spoke to Shadoguardian as an edit war was about to start. Can you take care of this? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 15:35, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

== Pichu in SSB trivium ==

Another couple of things I'd like to point out as reasons to delete that trivium: Other than Generation I, every single other generation has only ever had 0 or 1 fighter in SSB. And Lucario's been in two games in a row now (and first appeared a whopping ''eight'' years ago), so if it's not worth noting for Lucario I don't see how it's worth noting for Pichu.

Generation I, not Pichu, is clearly the odd one out. If we're really wedded to the concept of a SSB/generation trivium, I think it'd be better to have something like "Generation I is the only generation to have introduced multiple Pokemon that are playable characters in the Super Smash Bros. series" on the Generation I page, rather than an only-one-of-their-generation on any of Pichu, Lucario and/or Greninja's pages. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:03, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
:Brawl and 4 are the most recent in terms of the installment not the years, it's been two games since Melee. Yes, it's been eight years since Brawl but SSB isn't like Pokemon where a game gets released year after year, so the year length is too great to use as a criteria. As for Gen I having the most, I think that's very obvious due to it being Gen I, so of course there's going to be more than one representative.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:23, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

== Threshold of notability of anime errors ==

Would you consider the error in [[XY111]] to have the same problem too? This particular error was present in 3 frames only. At that time, trying to isolate the error by advancing frame-by-frame was challenging enough, let alone for the average audience to spot it while playing at normal speed. [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 02:47, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
:A similar problem exists in [[XY118]]: "As Greninja gets ready to reach its final Ash-Greninja form, the star shape on its leg is cream instead of blue for '''a split second'''." (emphasis mine) In this case, the error lasted only one frame. Please clarify the criteria for a notable animation error. If two seconds is not considered notable or noticeable, then there may be similar problems in many of the existing articles, where error durations are counted in frames, not seconds. [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 02:58, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
::It's still a bit of a grey area for me. In my opinion, anything that goes by really quickly and isn't noticeable in normal viewing is not notable. I understand that goes for a lot of actual notable errors, and that's why I'm still not 100% on it. Again, it's a bit of a grey area that needs more discussing.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:26, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
:::I understand what you mean in this. Considering some of the still-frames I have tried to grab in the past, some articles mention errors which have little value to the average viewer, and arguably only satisfy those people who actually take the time to view frame-by-frame. Well, I wasn't the one who added the errors in the first place, so I don't particularly have an opinion on their inclusion (or removal), so I guess this is an issue that can be put on hold for now, and maybe brought up again during another more suitable occasion, or when there's more time to gather relevant data (and diffs) about it. [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 13:31, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

== Clawitzer's Heal Pulse ==

The games never even crossed my mind when I saw the error. I was using past examples from the anime. [[BW022|In]] [[XY046|the]] [[XY096|past]], Heal Pulse was always used to relax the target but never once used on the user. This was the first time where Heal Pulse didn't follow how it was done previously. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 20:56, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
:A lot of stuff happens in the anime that shouldn't; one time Pikachu used Thunderbolt on itself, and Pignite defeated 2 Pokemon with one Fire Pledge (it only hits 1 target in thee games). [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 20:59, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

The '''Kanto''' region (Japanese: '''{{tt|カントー地方|カントーちほう}}''' ''Kantō-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located east of [[Johto]], and as revealed by the {{DL|Pokégear|radio}} show {{DL|Pokémon Music Channel|Sinnoh Sound}}, is located south of [[Sinnoh]]. It was the first region to be introduced. It is the setting of the [[Generation I]] games and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}; it is also accessible in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} after the quest in Johto is completed.

All cities in Kanto are named after colors ([[Viridian City]], [[Lavender Town]], [[Indigo Plateau]], etc.), with the exception of [[Pallet Town]], which is also a reference to color. [[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] and gives [[Pokémon Trainer]]s a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. In Yellow, the only choice is a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] that he recently caught, although he did have an {{p|Eevee}}. In the games, the player begins his or her journey in Pallet Town and ends it at Indigo Plateau.

It is based on and named after the real {{wp|Kantō region}} (関東, meaning "east of the barrier") in Japan. Unlike almost every other region, which are specific to their own generations, Kanto has been explorable in the first four generations of Pokémon games. However, it is not the primary region in the Generation II and IV games it appears in, in which players explore the neighboring Johto region before exploring Kanto.

The artwork of Kanto in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] depict Kanto as grassland, with very few trees. In [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], Kanto is seen with more trees, making it less like grassland.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Connection to Japan===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Kanto region as the {{wp|Kantō region}}.]]
Regardless of their proximity, the people of Johto and those of Kanto are set apart by many cultural differences. Kanto is based on the real {{wp|Kantō region}} in Japan. Compared to the traditional {{wp|Kansai region}} (where Johto is based), Kanto is modern and technological, which is reflected in the look of the cities and the buildings like the Pokémon Lab of Cinnabar Island and the Power Plant. This fact is also reflected in Kanto being the only Pokémon region without any legends, myths, or traditions related to Pokémon, and being the centerpoint for innovation, with the Poké Ball's ultimate upgrade, the [[Master Ball]], being recently invented by Silph Co. The soil of the Kantō region is volcanic, referencing the in-game Kanto region's inability to maintain a [[Berry]] crop in [[Generation II]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation IV]]. People from Kanto are considered to be sophisticated, reserved and formal. Kansai and Kantō, however different, are the two most important areas of Honshū, the largest island in Japan, and, much like Johto and Kanto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The cultural divide is most noticeable in the games, as the player talks to and learns about the denizens of both regions.

Tokyo, which the commercial Celadon City and the financial Saffron City are based on, is the most important commercial and economic center of Japan. Yokohama, which Vermilion City is based on, is the main and largest seaport of Japan.

==History==
[[File:Capsule Monsters map.jpg|thumb|200px|An early design of Kanto from [[Capsule Monsters]]]]
[[File:RG Kanto.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of Kanto from {{game|Red and Green|s}}]]
The Kanto region is home to a lot of Pokémon and has a rich history of creating Pokémon with technology.

Researchers of Kanto have been great at their job. A researcher working for the evil organization [[Team Rocket]] cloned {{p|Mew}} through its genes and created the Genetic Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}}. {{p|Porygon}}, the Virtual Pokémon, was also created by humans in Kanto.

{{Spoilers}}

In contemporary history, {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} is given a Pokémon by [[Professor Oak]] for personal safety. Professor Oak also gives his grandson, {{ga|Blue}}, a Pokémon and asks Blue and Red/Leaf to help him fill the Pokédex, a complete encyclopedia on Pokémon. Thus, the journey of Red/Leaf begins. Red/Leaf travels across the Kanto region and collects all eight Gym Badges. During his/her journey, Red/Leaf comes across Team Rocket, an evil organization behind wrongdoings about Pokémon. Red/Leaf stops Team Rocket and defeats [[Giovanni]], their boss as well as the Gym Leader of [[Viridian Gym]], who then disbands Team Rocket. In the meantime, Blue, who has also collected all of the Kanto Gym Badges, defeats the [[Elite Four]] at the [[Indigo League]] and becomes the champion of the Kanto region. Finally, Red/Leaf makes it up to him and defeats him to gain the title of the Indigo League Champion.

Three years later, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} from Johto comes to Kanto and collects all eight Kanto Gym Badges. Ethan/Kris/Lyra is the current Indigo League Champion and has also met and defeated Red.

==Cities, routes, and other locations==
The Kanto region features ten [[List of cities and towns|towns and cities]]. There is a wide variety of towns and cities throughout the region; from the large, urban [[Saffron City]] to the quiet, quaint town of {{to|Pallet}}. Kanto features a [[Pokémon League]], like most other regions in the [[Pokémon world]]. However, since Kanto shares its borders with [[Johto]], it also shares the same Pokémon League. Kanto and Johto are the only known regions that can be crossed with relative ease. Even though Kanto and Johto are culturally and socially different, the two regions are actually very similar in terms of geography.

The Kanto region includes 28 different routes, which acts as roads to cities and towns or points of interest. The Johto region follows Kanto's route number which ends at {{rt|28|Kanto}} in the Kanto region and begins with Johto's {{rt|29|Johto}}. Unlike other regions, Kanto does not have routes featuring any sort of weather conditions, such as Hoenn's {{rt|119|Hoenn}} which rains and thunders constantly and Sinnoh's {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} in which hail regularly falls. The Kanto region seems to have the most temperate climate of the [[Region|six main regions]].

The connecting landmass between Kanto and Johto doesn't appear to be a fine line; but more or less a blurry one. Route 28 is technically owned by Kanto; however, it bridges the border between the two regions, making it the only route in history that enters two regions at one time. This is similar to Routes 26 and 27, that are strictly Kanto locations; however, they are able to be transported to via {{HM|02|Fly}} from Johto in Generation IV.

===Demographics===
Including all the cities and towns in the Kanto region, the total population in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} is 391, while in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} the population is 364.

===Routes===
Routes in Kanto began the numbering process, going from {{rtn|1|Kanto}} to {{rtn|25|Kanto}} in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], but adding three routes to connect to Johto ({{rtn|26|Kanto}}, {{rtn|27|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|28|Kanto}}) in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==Geography==
[[File:Kanto Anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Anime-based map of the Kanto region]]
[[File:Kanto anime.png|250px|thumb|right|Kanto in the anime]]

The Kanto region has a very temperate climate and not many notable landscape features, though this may be due to the region's origins in the [[Generation I]] games.

The majority of the Kanto region are forests and plains. Many of the major Kanto cities are in the center of the region, with close access to virtually every environment such as the sea, mountains, forests, etc. Kanto is mostly dominated by land, but has a large bay in the middle which opens to a sea in the southwest. Kanto has a contrast between urban cities and rural towns. Cinnabar Island is unique in a way that it is built on top of a mountain. The rest of Kanto's cities and towns are generic. Kanto has several mountain ranges, which are mostly in northern and western Kanto. [[Indigo Plateau]] and {{ka|Victory Road}} mountain range divides Kanto from the neighboring [[Johto]] region.

===Differences between generations===
Between Generation I and Generation III, Kanto is very much the same with some alterations in respect to the improved graphics and gameplay in the remakes. Additionally in FireRed and LeafGreen, a chain of islands known as the [[Sevii Islands]], located far south of mainland Kanto, are unlocked throughout the {{player}}'s quest, with the first three accessible once Blaine is defeated on Cinnabar Island. Becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]] and getting the [[National Pokédex]] unlocks the other islands which make up this archipelago.

In the Generation II games as well as {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Trainers may travel from Johto to Kanto and notice that changes have occurred as a result of three years having passed since the time of the Generation I games and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}:

* The Safari Zone has closed as a result of [[Baoba|the warden]] taking a trip. In Generation II, it is simply inaccessible during normal gameplay while it has been relocated to Johto in Generation IV, with the original area now housing a [[Pal Park]].
* Cerulean Cave has collapsed. In Generation IV, however; it has since been re-excavated.
* Cinnabar Island has been destroyed by an eruption of the volcano, and its Gym has been relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
* In Generation II only, Viridian Forest became drastically smaller and was not a standalone area.
* Mt. Moon has greatly decreased in size due to rock slides.
* The Power Plant has become functional.
* The Pokémon Tower has become a radio tower. The Pokémon graves it housed have been moved to the [[House of Memories]].
* Blue has taken over Viridian Gym since Giovanni's retreat for training and remodeled the Gym to suit his tastes.
* Janine has taken over Fuchsia Gym since her father Koga has been promoted to the [[Elite Four]].
* In Generation II only, the Pewter Museum of Science is closed for renovations.
* The southern portion of {{rt|23|Kanto}} was removed in Generation II, and the stone maze that was in the northern portion is gone, leaving a simple, straight path. In Generation IV, though this same northern portion exists, it is labeled as a part of [[Indigo Plateau]], meaning that Route 23 no longer exists.
* The Badge checks have been combined into the Pokémon League Reception Gate, instead of being scattered along Route 23.

==Trivia==
[[File:GenI JA Kanto Town Map Reference.png|thumb|right|"A map of the Kanto region! I hope she gives it to me..."]]
* Until the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Kanto's name was seen only once in the Japanese [[Generation I]] games: upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at {{ga|Blue}}'s house. It was never mentioned in the Generation I games outside of Japan, and thus many fans assumed the region was called "Indigo", based on the name of the [[Indigo Plateau]]. By the time the [[Generation III]] remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, were released, Kanto's name was firmly established and appeared regularly in-game.
* Kanto is the only main [[region]] which has been featured in two separate {{pkmn|anime}} [[series]], once at the start of {{Ash}}'s journey (in the {{series|original}}), and once after Ash returned from [[Hoenn]] (in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}).
** Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, after Ash defeated [[Maylene]] and [[Crasher Wake]] (not to mention just before Ash challenges [[Fantina]]), it was also the only region in the anime where Ash defeated the [[Gym Leader]]s in a different order from the games.
** It is also the only region thus far to feature [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|an element]] that was actually in a different region in the games. This may have been done to simultaneously promote {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
* Kanto is mentioned during the event in which {{player}}s capture {{p|Shaymin}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. [[Professor Oak]] states that somewhere in the Kanto region there is a white rock similar to the one at the north end of {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]], although no such rock appears in any of Kanto's appearances.
* Kanto has certain traits that generally separates it from other [[region]]s:
** It is the only region in the [[Pokémon world]] that shares its name with {{wp|Kantō region|the real-world region}} it was based on.
** It is also the only region where the [[Pokémon League]] is located to the west of every Gym.
** Kanto and [[Johto]] are the only regions that are connected to each other by land.
** Kanto has the fewest amount of towns/cities of all the [[region]]s, having only ten. However, in [[Generation II]], Kanto and [[Johto]] are tied in this way, but this changed with the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, when the [[Safari Zone Gate]] and the [[Frontier Access]] were added to Johto.
** Kanto holds the most [[fossil]]s out of the six regions introduced, having three, while Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos have two each, and Johto has none.
* In [[Generation I]], Kanto was slightly redesigned twice after its initial appearance: signposts, doors, and other minor details, along with certain locations, such as [[Cerulean Cave]], were changed between {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters: Red and Green|s}} and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters: Blue]], and then again between Pocket Monsters: Blue and {{game3|Yellow|Pocket Monsters: Pikachu}}. The international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} reused the tilesets and other graphics from Pocket Monsters: Blue, while international {{game|Yellow}} featured the same design as its original Japanese release.
** However, it would be the original design from {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters: Red and Green|s}} that was ultimately reused in Kanto's [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] appearances.
* Kanto has appeared in the most games and [[generation]]s to date, having appeared in ten games (eleven in Japan and four in South Korea) over the course of four generations.
** {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters: Red and Green|s}}, [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters: Blue]], {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and {{game|Yellow}} in [[Generation I]];
** {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} in [[Generation II]];
** {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in [[Generation III]];
** {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in [[Generation IV]].
* Most of main cities and towns in Kanto are named after a color, such as the [[Indigo Plateau]], and [[Viridian City]], which is a blue-green color.
** In addition, Pallet Town may be named after palette as in a color palette.

==Blurb==

Our heroes have taken an exciting detour from their Anistar City journey: a visit to the one-and-only Poké Ball Factory! The three factory managers who offer them a tour look strangely familiar...

It’s Team Rocket, of course, but by the time the villains reveal themselves, our heroes have handed over every one of their Poké Balls (plus Pikachu) and gotten themselves locked in a storeroom! When Pikachu escapes, a frantic chase ensues as Pikachu tries to rescue the case full of Poké Balls and Meowth tries to use Pikachu’s own Poké Ball to trap it!

Finally, Meowth offers a challenge: if Pikachu can beat him in battle, he’ll give back all the Poké Balls. Meowth tries to pull a double-cross, but Pikachu’s Iron Tail takes him down, and Team Rocket goes blasting off again. And after freeing the real factory managers, our heroes get an official tour by way of thanks!

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arriving at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], as {{an|Clemont}} cries out in joy in having one of his dreams fulfilled. A disguised {{TRT}} welcomes them, who takes them on a "premium brand" tour of the Factory. They eventually trick Ash and his friends into giving them their Pokémon by offering them a unique service which detects easy-to-miss damage to Poké Balls and status conditions in their Pokémon. The group eagerly put their [[Poké Ball]]s into a Poké Ball case, though Ash comments that {{AP|Pikachu}} does not like entering into his Poké Ball. [[James]] then pulls out a glass case to put Pikachu in, and {{MTR}} asks for Pikachu's Poké Ball to go along with it.

While Clemont comments he would like to explore further through the Factory, Team Rocket invite them to experience a "special booth" which will emulate how Pokémon feel inside a Poké Ball. Ash and his friends get taken to a storage room and become disappointed, and then get angry when they find out that the Factory workers are in fact Team Rocket who have now locked the group inside. The crooks state to the heroes that their real plan was to take the Factory's Poké Balls and steal all their Pokémon.

Pikachu tries to break free, but the case is invulnerable to electricity. So instead, he breaks physically out of the case. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on his foes, but {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} reflects it back using {{m|Mirror Coat}} which Pikachu avoids. Meowth attempts uses Pikachu's Poké Ball to call him back, but Pikachu continues to dodge. [[Jessie]] and James then send out {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} and {{TP|James|Inkay}} to help. Pumpkaboo uses {{m|Shadow Ball}}, which Pikachu manages to dodge, but gets hit with Inkay's {{m|Psybeam}}. Smoke from the attack surrounds Pikachu and Meowth attempts to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. As the smoke disappears, Pikachu has disappeared, and Team Rocket jump for joy thinking that they have caught their enemy. Team Rocket then run away and begin to steal all kinds of Poké Balls in the Poké Ball Factory.

Meanwhile, Ash angrily slams at the locked door which does not budge. Then Pikachu speaks out, and explains to Ash that he escaped in the nick of time using a side ventilation tunnel. Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} at the locked door which fails to break open the door.

At the Factory, Team Rocket hear Pikachu's voice, and decide to follow the sound. They arrive and see Pikachu attempting to use Iron Tail once more, and they cry out in shock. Meowth attempts to call Pikachu into his Poké Ball again, but Pikachu escapes into the same ventilation tunnel. James sends out Inkay to follow Pikachu down the tunnel while Jessie and James go to store their stolen Poké Balls in their getaway truck. Inside the tunnel, Inkay attacks Pikachu multiple times, sending him flying, but Pikachu retaliates with {{m|Quick Attack}} and runs away.

Pikachu arrives at the main room of the Poké Ball Factory where the Poké Balls are being made, and spots the case containing the heroes' Poké Balls. Pikachu uses conveyor belts to try to retrieve the case. Unfortunately, Meowth pulls a switch which reverses the directions of the conveyor belts, and manages to grab the case instead. Meowth then proceeds to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. Pikachu flees from Meowth, until Meowth accidentally gets grabbed by a hook which causes him to lose the case.

The fight for the Poké Ball case continues with Pikachu and Meowth being picked up by the Factory's machinery which grab both Pokémon and attempt to make them into Poké Balls. Jessie and James then arrive having stored their stolen Poké Balls away and then use the Factory's computers to help them control the machinery to catch Pikachu and help Meowth.

Meanwhile, Clemont reveals his "[[List of Clemont's inventions|Extra Strength Pry-It-Open]]" he has been working on which will pry open the door. As it begins to work on the door, the machine explodes and blows open the locked door. The group runs out to try and save Pikachu and their other Pokémon.

The fight between Pikachu and Meowth continues, but Jessie and James flee when they find out the heroes have escaped. Meowth decides to stay and catch Pikachu. Pikachu goes on another conveyor belt and throws a Luxury Ball at Meowth, who manages to get out of there. As Pikachu notices the case, Meowth tries to recall him again, until James shouts out to him to forget Pikachu. Meowth then grabs the Poké Ball case and flees. Elsewhere, while Ash reunites with Pikachu to go after Team Rocket, {{an|Serena}} and Clemont help the Factory workers who have been tied up by Team Rocket.

As Team Rocket run away with their truck, Ash runs outside and notices them fleeing and commands Pikachu to use Thunderbolt. The truck stops and Meowth offers a challenge: if Pikachu can beat him in battle, he'll give back all the Poké Balls. Pikachu accepts. Meowth begins to use {{m|Fury Swipes}} while Pikachu begins to use Iron Tail, but Meowth pulls a double-cross, and tries to use Pikachu's Poké Ball to recall him inside. Pikachu dodges and uses Iron Tail to take Meowth down. As Team Rocket are about to take out their Poké Balls to battle Ash, a Poké Ball statue rolls off and slams into the villains, causing them to get {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|blasting off|blasted off}}.

Back inside the Poké Ball Factory, the group take out all their Pokémon and take a guided tour from the real Factory workers.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Team Rocket V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Team Rocket for this episode]]
* In the Japanese version, the title card segment focuses on {{TRT}}.
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Delphox}}
** Instead of Pokémon Holo Caster, {{p|Hoopa}} pops out to announce the [[Legendary Pokémon]] giveaways and to urge viewers to get tickets for the [[M18|second ''XY'' series movie]].
* The English dub was released on iTunes and Amazon on August 30, 2015, six days before the episode aired in the United States. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 3 of [[S18|Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest]] that aired after ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'' (''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'' through ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'').
* Despite being introduced in [[Generation I]], this episode marks the first time {{ball|Great}}s and {{ball|Ultra}}s have been seen in the main series anime.
** This episode also marks the anime debut of {{ball|Net|Net}}, {{ball|Nest|Nest}}, {{ball|Dusk|Dusk}}, {{ball|Dive|Dive}}, {{ball|Luxury|Luxury}}, {{ball|Repeat|Repeat}}, {{ball|Premier|Premier}}, and {{ball|Heal}}s outside of credit songs.
** In one scene, {{MTR}} gets the {{ball|Safari}} pattern painted on his face, marking the debut of Safari Ball's in-game design in the anime.
** This episode also shows an unpainted Poké Ball for the first time.
* This episode marks the first time since [[XY004|its capture]] that {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} has been returned to its [[Poké Ball]].
* This is the first time the [[Pokémon Quiz]] segment features a [[talking Pokémon]], in this case, {{MTR}}.
** The Pokémon Quiz segment features two Pokémon that have been a part of {{TRT}}, with {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} being used by [[Jessie]] in the {{series|Best Wishes}}.
* {{an|Serena}}, {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}, and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} narrate the preview for the [[XY079|next episode]].
* In one scene, Pikachu hurls a Luxury Ball with its tail at Meowth, which unsuccessfully catches Meowth. This would technically make Meowth a wild Pokémon due to being able to be caught. Meowth was also unsuccessfully caught in the {{series|Best Wishes}}.

===Errors===


* As the other Pokémon came out of their Poké Balls, Bunnelby's pupils are bigger than its appearances in other episodes.
* While Meowth is holding the Poké Ball case on his head, the handle switches between being on the front and back between shots.

<gallery>
File:XY078 error.png|Bunnelby with bigger pupils
</gallery>

===Dub edits===
* In the Japanese version of the scene where Team Rocket is seen stealing various sorts of Poké Balls, James lists Quick, Premier, and Net Balls, even though no {{Ball|Quick}}s are seen in the entire episode. The dub corrected this by having James mention a {{Ball|Dusk}} instead of a Quick Ball.

'''Ash's Goodra''' (Japanese: '''サトシのヌメルゴン''' ''Satoshi's Numelgon'') is the fourth Pokémon {{Ash}} caught in the [[Kalos]] region.

==History==
As a Goomy, it first appeared in ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' where it was dropped from the sky by a {{p|Swanna}} onto {{Ash}}'s head. It looked weak and tired so Ash and {{ashfr}} took it to a nearby river to heal it. After having water poured onto it by them, Goomy quickly recovered its health. When {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} popped out of {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag to greet it, it hid behind Ash, as it is weak to {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
[[File:Ash Goomy.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Goomy]]
After traveling for a while, Goomy was frightened once more by a disturbed {{p|Ariados}} - whose tree had been attacked by {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}. Confused, Clemont decided to use one of his inventions to see why Goomy was so terrified of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon; this revealed that Goomy's homeland was attacked by various Bug-type Pokémon, including Ariados, until Goomy and other inhabitants were rescued by Swanna.

When Goomy and Pikachu were captured by {{TRT}}, Goomy watched as Pikachu tried to escape. The cage absorbed Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}, so Pikachu rammed into the side of the cage until he made a hole big enough for them to squeeze out of. Goomy was able to slip through, but it was too tight for Pikachu. Seeing Pikachu's predicament, Goomy slipped back into the cage and used its slimy body to help Pikachu squeeze through.

While escaping Team Rocket, Goomy managed to slow [[James]] down with {{m|Rain Dance}}, giving Ash and his friends enough time to battle the trio. However, when {{AP|Fletchinder}} and Pikachu tried to fend off Team Rocket they ended up getting {{status|Confusion|confused}} by {{TP|James|Inkay}}'s {{m|Psybeam}}, making them attack each other. As Ash grabbed onto both of his Pokémon to try and calm them, Goomy began to admire the lengths Ash would go to in order to protect his Pokémon, motivating it to fight. After intercepting Pumpkaboo and Inkay's combined {{m|Dark Pulse}} and Psybeam, it used {{m|Bide}} to absorb the hits and eventually defeat Team Rocket. Later, Goomy indicated to Pikachu that it wanted to go with Ash, allowing Ash to capture it in a Poké Ball.

In ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Goomy was sent out to meet the rest of the Pokémon. It was initially intimidated by the group, especially Dedenne; however, it warmed up to them as they were playing. When they were interrupted by Team Rocket's attempt to capture everyone's Pokémon, Goomy - along with Dedenne, {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, Serena, and Bonnie - was separated from the group. While Serena was battling Team Rocket, Goomy remembered what happened to its old home and fled. Team Rocket found Goomy and attempted to capture it, but they were stopped by Dedenne. Once Goomy saw how much Dedenne cared for it, it battled against Team Rocket long enough for Ash and the rest of the group to find them. After the battle, Goomy is shown affectionately nibbling on Dedenne's ear, no longer afraid of it.
[[File:Ash Sliggoo.png|thumb|250px|As a Sliggoo]]

In [[XY061]], Goomy had a practice battle against Pikachu, but was interrupted by an injured {{p|Spoink}}. After Spoink recovered they followed it to its home were they found a {{p|Grumpig}} bullying all the Spoink. Ash and the other tried to stop Grumpig, but it hypnotized the Spoink into attacking them and forced them into Team Rocket's trap. Pikachu, along with Chespin, agreed to go with Team Rocket in exchange for Grumpig to stop hurting the Spoink. Goomy and Dedenne sneaked out of the cage and attempted to get the key but ended up getting caught by Grumpig. Dedenne battled against Grumpig and lost, which encouraged Goomy to fight. Goomy used Bide to counter all of Grumpig's attacks, but couldn't do much without any offensive moves. Right when Goomy was about to be hit by {{m|Iron Tail}} Ash jumped in the way and defended it from harm. Seeing how much Ash cared for it allowed Goomy to evolve into Sliggoo and learn {{m|Dragon Breath}}, and was easily able to defeat Grumpig and Team Rocket. After Team Rocket was blasted off Grumpig and the Spoink made amends, and Ash and his friends continued on their journey.

In [[XY065]] Sliggoo was captured, along with [[Tierno]]'s {{p|Wartortle}} and {{p|Raichu}} by {{TRT}}. The three Pokémon escaped when the cage that they were in went off of a cliff and shattered at the bottom. They were then found by {{an|Bonnie}} and Tierno, who were looking for them. Meanwhile, Team Rocket was trying to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. A {{m|Shadow Ball}} launched by [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} started a fire, which turned into a ring of fire surrounding Ash, Serena, and Pikachu. Then Sliggoo remembered how, when it was a {{p|Goomy}}, there were a bunch of Pokémon trapped in a similar situation. Bolstered by the memory, Sliggo used {{m|Rain Dance}} to protect its [[Trainer]] and put out the fire, and evolved into {{p|Goodra}} in the process. It then used its new move, {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to send Team Rocket blasting off. Later on, it and Pikachu participated in a [[Double Battle]] against Tierno's Raichu and Wartortle. Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Goodra's Dragon Pulse combined into a massive attack to finish off Tierno's Pokémon and give Ash the victory.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Goomy.png|thumb|250px|As a Goomy, with Ash]]
[[File:Ash and Goodra.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and Goodra]]
As a Goomy, it was a very friendly Pokémon, as it liked to show its affection to others by nibbling on their ears. It had also proven to be a capable fighter, but was initially scared until it decided to help Ash. Goomy was easily frightened and was afraid of {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon such as {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} since {{type|Dragon}}s are weak against Fairy-types. In ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', after Dedenne was protecting it from Team Rocket, Goomy was pleased and it was no longer afraid of Dedenne. It's also afraid of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon such as {{p|Ariados}} as they destroyed Goomy's original home. When depressed or insulted, Goomy tended to use {{m|Rain Dance}} on the offender, as seen when it used the move on {{an|Serena}} for calling it icky, and in ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'' where it used the move on [[Jessie]]. When someone made it happy, it liked to chew on their ear. It views Pikachu as a role model, and wants to become strong like him and his Trainer.

As shown in ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Goomy had a slimy body, which can help reflect attacks without it taking damage or it can put slime on others, making them slimy, as shown when it used this on {{AP|Pikachu}} to help him escape from {{TRT}}'s cage. It also used to dry out easily causing it to become weak or tired, but could stop it by absorbing water.

The invasion of Goomy's home was a clearly traumatic event in its life. In the beginning, whenever it encountered dangerous situations, it tended to flashback to the scene of Bug-types attacking its home, and would freeze from the shock. However, it is capable of overcoming its fears to help its friends, as seen in its debut episode and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''. It also leads it to sympathize with others, as seen in [[XY061]], where it became determined to help a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spoink}}, who had also been driven away from its home by a wild {{p|Grumpig}}. After evolving, some signs of trauma were still present in Sliggoo. In [[XY065]], an explosion from one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]] caused a fire that reminded it of a group of stranded, young Pokémon surrounded by the fires of the invasion. However, the memory lead Sliggoo to take action, using Rain Dance to put out the flames, and trigger its evolution. It is currently unknown whether the trauma and the fear of Bug-types are still present following its evolution into Goodra.

==Trivia==
*Goodra is Ash's only Pokémon from Kalos that is not weak to the {{type|Electric}}.
*Goodra is the first {{type|Dragon}} belonging to a main character that has evolved under their ownership.
*Goodra was Ash's first Kalos Pokémon to fully evolve.
*Goodra is Ash's first [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
**It is also the first pseudo-legendary Pokémon owned by a main character to have been caught in its basic stage.
*The episode where Ash caught Goomy first aired in the United States less than a week before the episode where Sliggoo evolved into Goodra first aired in Japan.
*Sliggoo's evolution to Goodra was the first time ''[[V (Volt)#Opening animation: Version 2 (XY029 - current)|Mega V (Mega Volt)]]'' was used as an insert song, albeit an instrumental version.
*Ash's Sliggoo evolved because of the rain from its Rain Dance, which would not ordinarily trigger Sliggoo's evolution in the games.

Infinity Energy

2015-03-27T04:30:39Z

Deltamon3: One of the wanted pages

'''Infinity Energy''' is a type of energy in the Pokémon world. It is created using the life force of Pokémon, which could only be obtained by the sacrifice of Pokémon.
==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
===X and Y===
3,000 years prior to the events of [[Pokémon X and Y]] during the war, after [[AZ]] found his dead [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]]'s body, he created the [[ultimate weapon]] to revive his Floette, using Infinity Energy to power it. His rage was not settled though, so he converted the revival machine into a weapon, also powered by the Infinity Energy, ending the war.
===Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Mr. Stone]]'s grandfather, the former owner of the [[Devon Corporation]], used the energy to help people and Pokémon. The use of this energy made Devon one of the top industries in Hoenn. Now, many things have been powered using the energy, such as a submarine and rockets launched from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. The {{key|VI|Devon Parts}} were also parts to help make the submarine run on Infinity Energy.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], he may be found at the {{DL|Kalos Route 18|Inverse House}} on {{rt|18|Kalos}}, while in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], he is located at the {{DL|Mauville City|Inverse Battle Stop}} in [[Mauville City]].

After he is defeated, Inver will give the player an [[item]] depending on how well the player did. Inver's evaluation of the player is based on a score calculated by subtracting the number of {{DL|Damage|not very effective}} hits the player made from the number of {{DL|Damage|super effective}} hits they made.

If none of the player's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Fainting|fainted]], Inver will give the player three of an item, but otherwise he will only give the player one. Inver can be battled once per day.

===Quotes===
====Pokémon X and Y====
:'' "Oh... I wasn't expecting a vistor in a place like this. Hmm... You seem to be a pretty good trainer. Shall we have a rather strange Pokémon battle? I call this an Inverse Battle! With my mysterious power, I will reverse type matchups for a while... Supereffective moves will not be very effective. Move that are not very effective will be super effective. What do you think? Does it sound fun? You may understand it in theory, but when you try it, you'll find that it's more difficult than you thought. Would you care to try an Inverse Battle?'' "
:'''No:''' '' "Oh, I see... That's too bad. If you change your mind, come again.'' "
:'''Yes:''' '' "Supereffective moves will not be very effective... And moves that are not very effective will be super effective. '' "
* Being defeated
'' "That battle may have tired me out even more than my Pokémon...'' "
* Talking after battle
'' "This strange power that reverses type matchups... Unfortunately, I can't use it very often. Please come back tomorrow.'' "
====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
:''"Oh! A customer! Welcome to the Inverse Battle Stop! What I have to offer here at the Inverse Battle Stop is a positively miraculous form of Pokémon battle! That's right... I call it the Inverse Battle! This precision machine, this envisioned contraption can use its inversion powers to temporarily invert all type matchups between Pokémon! It's the Inverse-o-matic! Super effective becomes not very effective! Not very effective becomes super effective! How about that! You have to admit that it sounds pretty fantastically fun, don't you? Don't you? You might think you've got your head wrapped around it, but when you're actually in the thick of it, it's surprisingly tough! So how about it?"''
:'''No:''' ''"You came all this way... To turn back now? But I'll be waiting for your return!"''
:'''Yes:''' ''"Super effective becomes not very effective! Not very effective becomes super effective!"''
* Being defeated
:''"You've mastered the Inverse-o-matic to such a high level! As the developer, I couldn't be happier!"''
* Talking to after battle
:''"My fantastic Inverse-o-matic is indeed a revolutionary device that can temporarily invert all type matchups. But I can't just fire it up again and again, you know. Do you think you could come back tomorrow?"''

Cosplay Pikachu

2015-03-26T21:47:32Z

Deltamon3: /* Trivia */ Shiny CP Pikachu trivia

[[File:Spr 6o 025C.png|frame|right|Cosplay Pikachu without a costume]]
'''Cosplay Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''おきがえ・ピカチュウ''' ''Clothes-changing Pikachu'') is a [[Pikachu variants|variant]] female {{p|Pikachu}} that appears exclusively in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

This particular Pikachu is able to be dressed up into five different costumes corresponding to each kind of contest stat ({{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness, and {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness) and learn exclusive moves which are linked to these stats. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime by going to any [[Contest Hall]] in the [[Hoenn]] region and talking to the {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} in the green room. This Pokémon Breeder can also remove the costume.

Upon removing a costume, it will forget the special move associated with the previous costume. Upon putting on a new costume, it will learn the special move associated with the new costume. When changing costume, if Cosplay Pikachu knows four moves but not the special move of its previous costume, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Cosplay Pikachu cannot put on the new costume unless it does). If Cosplay Pikachu's only known move is its special move and the costume is removed, then the Pikachu will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Pikachu can remain in a costume even if it forgets the associated special move.

Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu is in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}, meaning it cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. It also cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Raichu}} and is unaffected by the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Eviolite}}. Cosplay Pikachu is affected by the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}} like every other Pikachu.

==In the games==
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], after the first time the player takes part in a [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]], an [[Non-player character|NPC]] will give the player Cosplay Pikachu because she says it matches their costume; she will give a male player character Cosplay Pikachu as Pikachu Rock Star, and a female player character Cosplay Pikachu as Pikachu Pop Star. When obtained, it will have its [[Hidden Ability]] and its [[Contest condition]] in each category is equally elevated.

==In the manga==
[[File:Cosplay Pikachu Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A group of Cosplay Pikachu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In Pokémon Adventures===
In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Cosplay Pikachu were introduced by [[Lisia]] to {{ga|Chaz}}. Lisia reveals that {{adv|Ruby}} created the concept of Pokémon wearing costumes for Contests. Unlike the games, the Cosplay Pikachu is not an individual Pikachu, several are male, and only one has a black marking on the tip of her tail.

==Trivia==
* Cosplay Pikachu shares several similarities with {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}'s [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]. Both are female-only variants of the {{p|Pikachu}} evolution line who were introduced in [[remake]]s. They are both incapable of evolving, breeding, or being traded to previous games.
* Despite the existence of a Shiny Cosplay Pikachu model in the game, a Shiny Cosplay Pikachu cannot be obtained legitimately.

Delta Episode

2015-03-22T23:27:52Z

Deltamon3: /* Mossdeep City */

{{spoilers}}
[[File:ORAS Delta Episode.png|thumb|Promotional artwork for the Delta Episode]]
The '''Delta Episode''' (Japanese: '''エピソード　デルタ''' ''Episode Delta'') is a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The episode revolves around a meteoroid that is on course for collision with the planet and a newly developed character, [[Zinnia]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
After the player defeats {{Steven}} and first enters the [[Hall of Fame]], the Delta Episode is unlocked. The end of the credits sequence teases the Delta Episode, with Mom and [[Norman]] discussing the Litleonid meteor shower they bought tickets to see in [[Mossdeep City]], only to have Norman reveal that he must be at the Gym that day. As they wonder what to do with the tickets, a mysterious symbol takes over the screen and then fades into "To Be Continued."

When the player loads the game again, a cutscene introducing the Delta Episode starts at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] with a warning siren sounding. A meteoroid is expected to make impact on "a small island southwest of {{ci|Sootopolis}}, off of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}", presumably [[Sky Pillar]]. Uncertain about the nature or origin of the meteoroid, as the meteoroid seems to be able to change its trajectory, [[Professor Cozmo]] must devise a plan to keep the meteoroid from landing. Meanwhile, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}} accompanied by a {{p|Whismur}} is shown standing atop Sky Pillar changing out her team's uniform, revealing herself as the person the player will come to know as [[Zinnia]] as she changes into a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] cape. She mentions that there isn't much time left, displaying knowledge of the meteoroid's existence, and thinks that the player may have complicated matters by not allowing the "super-ancient Pokémon" ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}) to be revived in its [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]]. Regardless, she plans to make use of a [[Key Stone]] in order to revive {{p|Rayquaza}}, so it can destroy the meteoroid.

===Littleroot Town===
The player starts in their bedroom in [[Littleroot Town]], as is normal after defeating the Hoenn League. Mom and [[Norman]] are downstairs, and when the player comes down, Norman gives the player a {{key|VI|Pair of Tickets}} and suggests they take Brendan/May with them. When the player leaves the house, Zinnia is standing outside waiting for the player. She introduces herself and tells the player that she knows about them and their ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After Zinnia leaves, at Brendan/May's house, the player finds out that Zinna has stolen Brendan/May's Key Stone from them. They tell the player that Zinnia is headed to [[Petalburg City]] and that they should go with caution, as Zinnia is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Petalburg City===
In [[Petalburg City]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} can be found harassing [[Wally]] in front of his house. They are looking for a Key Stone as well. When the player approaches, Wally insists that he doesn't have the Key Stone. Wally then notices the player behind Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, prompting the Admin to notice the player and start a battle in a bid to steal the player's Key Stone as well. When the player defeats them, they leave for [[Meteor Falls]]. Wally informs the player that his Key Stone went missing prior to the arrival of the Admin. At this point, Steven contacts the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]] using a hidden feature called Entry Call that is still in development. He tells the player to meet him at the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]].

===Rustboro City===
Steven meets the player outside of the Devon Corporation. He takes them upstairs to meet his father, who has a lengthy story to tell. He tells of a [[Ultimate weapon|weapon]] created by [[AZ|one man]] to end a war 3,000 years ago in [[Kalos|a distant region]], a weapon powered by the life energy of Pokémon. Devon developed that energy source into [[Infinity Energy]]. He then tells the player about the asteroid that is on a collision course with the planet, and how they plan to avert the danger using a Devon rocket. For this, he asks that the player venture to [[Granite Cave]] and retrieve a {{key|VI|Meteorite Shard}}, which is a key piece of their plan. He tells Steven to take the Link Cable he gave him and go to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and start preparations.

===Granite Cave===
In Granite Cave, the player will find Zinnia and Aster (her Whismur) in the room with the wall painting. She reveals that this painting, showing Primal Reversion, was made by her ancestors, and alludes to another painting showing Mega Evolution. Turning away from the painting, Zinnia eagerly presses the player for a battle. After the battle, Zinnia gives the player a Meteorite Shard, but before leaving, she pauses to question the player about their motives and what they really know of the truth. Once she has left, a call from Steven comes through on the PokéNav Plus, and he asks the player to hurry back to the Space Center.

===Mossdeep City===

When the player arrives at the Mossdeep Space Center and tries to go upstairs, a receptionist will lead you to Steven and Prof. Cozmo. Cozmo then thanks the player for coming and bringing the Meteorite Shard, in which the player gives the shard afterwards. Steven then asks Cozmo about the current plan, in which Cozmo explains. He says the plan involves combining President Stone's Infinity Energy for a rocket and life energy of humans in Key Stones. It would also involve artificially replicating the massive energy created by the time of Mega Evolution. Cozmo says they would launch a rocket and create a "warp hole" in the meteoroid's path to transport it far away somewhere. He also additionally says that the technology already exists, with [[warp tiles]]. Steven then concerns about the place the warp hole would place the meteoroid, with Cozmo replying by linking two warp holes with a device called a Link Cable. Cozmo then says that more energy is needed for the Link Cable to work properly, and asks for another Meteorite Shard. Zinnia then barges in, with the receptionist following her and telling her to not barge in. The player, Cozmo, and Steven then goes to Zinnia, which Steven and Cozmo asks who she is and why she is here. Zinnia then introduces herself, describing herself as a regular tourist, then commenting about the technology in the room. She then asks about the energy powering the rocket, and then talking about it being related to the war 3,000 years ago. Steven thinks and asks why she wants them to stop the meteoroid, Zinnia then teases about being a former Champion, and asks if the player has a better idea, although it doesn't change the story. After she talks about sacrifices that are necessary and unnecessary. She then leaves, in which Steven and Cozmo talk about the second shard, which is in [[Meteor Falls]], not Granite Cave. Steven then asks the player to follow him to the falls.

===Meteor Falls===

Once the player enters Meteor Falls and takes the correct path, the player will find Steven, who has the Meteorite Shard, along with a Draconid woman. She gives a little info about Draconids, and saying Rayquaza to be the beginning of all. She says long ago, Hoenn suffered great disaster repeatedly, sometimes taking the form of meteoroids and Primal Reversions of Groudon and Kyogre, in which all were stopped by Rayquaza. She explains that Lorekeepers would offer a wish to the Rayquaza, and the Sky High Pokémon would transform and shine a bright light, which is actually Mega Evolution. She then says about the Pokémon being more powerful in that state, overcoming the both Primal Pokémon's power. Steven then relates the transformation to Mega Evolution, in which she does agree as Mega Evolution. Steven then asks about the Lorekeeper, in which the woman says that Zinnia is intact the Lorekeeper. She also reveals the reason why she joined Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, was to stop it in a strange way, by waking up Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Primal Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} to draw Rayquaza to Earth and help destroy the meteoroid, which failed due to the player defeating/capturing the Pokémon in the main story. She told the organization she was in how to find and awake the super-ancient Pokémon. She then decides to travel around Hoenn, taking Key Stones. Steven then realizes Zinnia who appeared in the Space Center was also a Draconid, and wonders why she would awake forces that would put Pokémon and people in risk. The old woman then explains that a lot if disasters were overcome many times, it was through great, great sacrifices. Steven then leaves to Rustboro City for Devon.

===Rustboro City===
When the player attempts to enter the Devon building, a {{tc|Scientist}} will run out, closely followed by a succession of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts. After the player has warded them off, the Scientist explains that a person from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} (Courtney/Matt) stole the control device for the Link Cable, a dimensional shifter. He believes they will head for the Mossdeep Space Center next, where he believes Steven also is.

===Mossdeep City===

Once the player approaches the Space Center, the player will notice Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} along with Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts outside of the center near the steps, who are rounded up to enter the center. When the player goes inside and tries to go upstairs, the five Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts with Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, who are revealed to be the same grunts from Team Magma's{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua's{{sup/6|AS}} Hideout, would block the way, and engage in a battle, all with a {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}}. Once defeated, the grunts would be shocked about still being defeated even if they had five Intimidate activations. They then let the player pass, in which the player finds Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} along with another Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunt, to which the Admin has the dimensional shifter, Steven then asks the player if he/she should engage with a Double Battle against them, giving a yes or no question. Once the battle ends, Aster, Zinnia's {{p|Whismur}}, comes in the room and snatches the dimensional shifter Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} . Steven then realizes it belongs to Zinnia, in which she then comes in. She then says what the impressive machine does in general, and then claps. She then says what would happen to another world when the meteoroid is transported. She then tells the player if he/she understands about what she just said, saving their own world, putting another in danger, giving I do or I don't choices, which doesn't affect the story. She explains about her people passing the lore about the distortions in the world because of Mega Evolution, and about a world the same as Hoenn, with Mega Evolution being unknown, and no ultimate weapon being built. She then breaks the dimensional shifter, with the Professor outraged about it, claiming she had no proof of another world like Earth existing. She then snatches Courtney's{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt's{{sup/6|AS}} Key Stone and says she is going to go to Team Magma's{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua's{{sup/6|AS}} Hideout for another Key Stone and leaves.

===Team Magma/Aqua Hideout===

Once the player enters the respective team's hideout, the grunts are all jumpy, thinking that the player is with Zinnia. When the player finally reaches Maxie's{{sup/6|OR}}/Archie's{{sup/6|AS}} Room, the player would find the leader and [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who are confronted by Zinnia, who just defeated the respective leader. Maxie{{sup/6|OR}}/Archie{{sup/6|AS}} is shocked about losing, and asks who she is. Zinnia then sees the player behind her, saying he/she was late. She then take the respective leader's Key Stone and leaves the room for [[Sky Pillar]]. Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}}/Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} are outraged about her barging in and taking the Stone. Maxie{{sup/6|OR}}/Archie{{sup/6|AS}} would then ask the respective admin to give the [[Mega Evolution|Cameruptite]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Mega Evolution|Sharpedonite]]{{sup/6|AS}}, since the leader has no Key Stone to trigger the transformation, much the admin's surprise. The leader then tells the player to stop Zinnia. Then, Steven will call the player, and see a connection with the Draconid, Sky Pillar, and Key Stones. Steven then requests the player to meet at the Mossdeep Space Center once again, then hangs up.

===Mossdeep City===


Once the player meets Steven, the player explains everything that happened, with the screen turning black and back to the space center again. Steven then explains only a few can enter the Sky Pillar, and the few are successors of the ancient world, like Lorekeepers. Steven then asks if he/she remembers Wallace, giving a yes or no choice, which don't affect the story. Steven explains he is able to undo the seal that block the Sky Pillar, and is one of the few that inherited the ancient lore. Steven then says he and Prof. Cozmo will try to devise an alternative to stop the meteoroid and will send a message to Wallace about the situation, and tells the player to find him in front of the Cave of Origin.

===Sootopolis City===
Outside the Cave of Origin, the player meets up with Wallace and is instructed to go to the entrance of the [[Sky Pillar]] on {{rt|131|Hoenn}}.

===Route 131===
Wallace challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]] in front of the Sky Pillar. Once he is defeated, he will move over from his spot in front of the entrance and let the player in.

===Sky Pillar===
The player is greeted by [[Zinnia]] when entering the main area. Zinnia then tells the story of the Draconids, one part per floor. When the player reaches the altar, Zinnia will summon Rayquaza, only to find out it doesn't possess enough energy to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Rayquaza consumes the sparkling {{key|VI|Meteorite}} the player received from [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Mt. Chimney]] and challenges the player to a battle. In order to proceed with the story, Rayquaza must be captured; if defeated, Rayquaza will remain atop Sky Pillar until the player has captured it. When Rayquaza is caught, Zinnia challenges the player to a final battle, wanting to test her skills against Rayquaza. After the battle, regardless of the outcome, the player puts a space suit on and rides on Rayquaza's back into space to destroy the meteoroid.

The meteoroid turns out to be a vessel for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, enabling it to travel through space. It appears at first in the form of a triangle, teleporting from one side of the screen to the other, it returns to the center and grows tentacles. Starting with Mega Rayquaza in their party, the player must battle Deoxys. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Delta Episode ends, with everyone celebrating that the meteor is no more.

If the player does not catch Deoxys during the Delta Episode, it will reappear the Dragonhark Altar on Sky Pillar after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] again.

Delta Episode

Deltamon3: /* Team Magma/Aqua Hideout */ plot

{{spoilers}}
[[File:ORAS Delta Episode.png|thumb|Promotional artwork for the Delta Episode]]
The '''Delta Episode''' (Japanese: '''エピソード　デルタ''' ''Episode Delta'') is a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The episode revolves around a meteoroid that is on course for collision with the planet and a newly developed character, [[Zinnia]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
After the player defeats {{Steven}} and first enters the [[Hall of Fame]], the Delta Episode is unlocked. The end of the credits sequence teases the Delta Episode, with Mom and [[Norman]] discussing the Litleonid meteor shower they bought tickets to see in [[Mossdeep City]], only to have Norman reveal that he must be at the Gym that day. As they wonder what to do with the tickets, a mysterious symbol takes over the screen and then fades into "To Be Continued."

When the player loads the game again, a cutscene introducing the Delta Episode starts at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] with a warning siren sounding. A meteoroid is expected to make impact on "a small island southwest of {{ci|Sootopolis}}, off of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}", presumably [[Sky Pillar]]. Uncertain about the nature or origin of the meteoroid, as the meteoroid seems to be able to change its trajectory, [[Professor Cozmo]] must devise a plan to keep the meteoroid from landing. Meanwhile, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}} accompanied by a {{p|Whismur}} is shown standing atop Sky Pillar changing out her team's uniform, revealing herself as the person the player will come to know as [[Zinnia]] as she changes into a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] cape. She mentions that there isn't much time left, displaying knowledge of the meteoroid's existence, and thinks that the player may have complicated matters by not allowing the "super-ancient Pokémon" ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}) to be revived in its [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]]. Regardless, she plans to make use of a [[Key Stone]] in order to revive {{p|Rayquaza}}, so it can destroy the meteoroid.

===Littleroot Town===
The player starts in their bedroom in [[Littleroot Town]], as is normal after defeating the Hoenn League. Mom and [[Norman]] are downstairs, and when the player comes down, Norman gives the player a {{key|VI|Pair of Tickets}} and suggests they take Brendan/May with them. When the player leaves the house, Zinnia is standing outside waiting for the player. She introduces herself and tells the player that she knows about them and their ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After Zinnia leaves, at Brendan/May's house, the player finds out that Zinna has stolen Brendan/May's Key Stone from them. They tell the player that Zinnia is headed to [[Petalburg City]] and that they should go with caution, as Zinnia is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Petalburg City===
In [[Petalburg City]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} can be found harassing [[Wally]] in front of his house. They are looking for a Key Stone as well. When the player approaches, Wally insists that he doesn't have the Key Stone. Wally then notices the player behind Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, prompting the Admin to notice the player and start a battle in a bid to steal the player's Key Stone as well. When the player defeats them, they leave for [[Meteor Falls]]. Wally informs the player that his Key Stone went missing prior to the arrival of the Admin. At this point, Steven contacts the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]] using a hidden feature called Entry Call that is still in development. He tells the player to meet him at the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]].

===Rustboro City===
Steven meets the player outside of the Devon Corporation. He takes them upstairs to meet his father, who has a lengthy story to tell. He tells of a [[Ultimate weapon|weapon]] created by [[AZ|one man]] to end a war 3,000 years ago in [[Kalos|a distant region]], a weapon powered by the life energy of Pokémon. Devon developed that energy source into [[Infinity Energy]]. He then tells the player about the asteroid that is on a collision course with the planet, and how they plan to avert the danger using a Devon rocket. For this, he asks that the player venture to [[Granite Cave]] and retrieve a {{key|VI|Meteorite Shard}}, which is a key piece of their plan. He tells Steven to take the Link Cable he gave him and go to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and start preparations.

===Granite Cave===
In Granite Cave, the player will find Zinnia and Aster (her Whismur) in the room with the wall painting. She reveals that this painting, showing Primal Reversion, was made by her ancestors, and alludes to another painting showing Mega Evolution. Turning away from the painting, Zinnia eagerly presses the player for a battle. After the battle, Zinnia gives the player a Meteorite Shard, but before leaving, she pauses to question the player about their motives and what they really know of the truth. Once she has left, a call from Steven comes through on the PokéNav Plus, and he asks the player to hurry back to the Space Center.

===Mossdeep City===

When the player arrives at the Mossdeep Space Center and tries to go upstairs, a receptionist will lead you to Steven and Prof. Cozmo. Cozmo then thanks the player for coming and bringing the Meteorite Shard, in which the player gives the shard afterwards. Steven then asks Cozmo about the current plan, in which Cozmo explains. He says the plan involves combining President Stone's Infinity Energy for a rocket and life energy of humans in Key Stones. It would also involve artificially replicating the massive energy created by the time of Mega Evolution. Cozmo says they would launch a rocket and create a "warp hole" in the meteoroid's path to transport it far away somewhere. He also additionally says that the technology already exists, with [[warp tiles]]. Steven then concerns about the place the warp hole would place the meteoroid, with Cozmo replying by linking two warp holes with a device called a Link Cable. Cozmo then says that more energy is needed for the Link Cable to work properly, and asks for another Meteorite Shard. Zinnia then barges in, with the receptionist following her and telling her to not barge in. The player, Cozmo, and Steven then goes to Zinnia, which Steven and Cozmo asks who she is and why she is here. Zinnia then introduces herself, describing herself as a regular tourist, then commenting about the technology in the room. She then asks about the energy powering the rocket, and then talking about it being related to the war 3,000 years ago. Steven thinks and asks why she wants them to stop the meteoroid, Zinnia then teases about being a former Champion, and asks if the player has a better idea, although it doesn't change the story. After she talks about sacrifices that are necessary and unnecessary. She then leaves, in which Steven and Cozmo talk about the second shard, which is in [[Meteor Falls]], not Granite Cave. Steven then asks the player to follow him to the falls.

===Meteor Falls===

Once the player enters Meteor Falls and takes the correct path, the player will find Steven, who has the Meteorite Shard, along with a Draconid woman. She gives a little info about Draconids, and saying Rayquaza to be the beginning of all. She says long ago, Hoenn suffered great disaster repeatedly, sometimes taking the form of meteoroids and Primal Reversions of Groudon and Kyogre, in which all were stopped by Rayquaza. She explains that Lorekeepers would offer a wish to the Rayquaza, and the Sky High Pokémon would transform and shine a bright light, which is actually Mega Evolution. She then says about the Pokémon being more powerful in that state, overcoming the both Primal Pokémon's power. Steven then relates the transformation to Mega Evolution, in which she does agree as Mega Evolution. Steven then asks about the Lorekeeper, in which the woman says that Zinnia is intact the Lorekeeper. She also reveals the reason why she joined Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, was to stop it in a strange way, by waking up Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Primal Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} to draw Rayquaza to Earth and help destroy the meteoroid, which failed due to the player defeating/capturing the Pokémon in the main story. She told the organization she was in how to find and awake the super-ancient Pokémon. She then decides to travel around Hoenn, taking Key Stones. Steven then realizes Zinnia who appeared in the Space Center was also a Draconid, and wonders why she would awake forces that would put Pokémon and people in risk. The old woman then explains that a lot if disasters were overcome many times, it was through great, great sacrifices. Steven then leaves to Rustboro City for Devon.

===Rustboro City===
When the player attempts to enter the Devon building, a {{tc|Scientist}} will run out, closely followed by a succession of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts. After the player has warded them off, the Scientist explains that a person from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} (Courtney/Matt) stole the control device for the Link Cable, a dimensional shifter. He believes they will head for the Mossdeep Space Center next, where he believes Steven also is.

===Mossdeep City===

Once the player approaches the Space Center, the player will notice Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} along with Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts outside of the center near the steps, who are rounded up to enter the center. When the player goes inside and tries to go upstairs, the five Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts with Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, who are revealed to be the same grunts from Team Magma's{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua's{{sup/6|AS}} Hideout, would block the way, and engage in a battle, all with a {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}}. Once defeated, the grunts would be shocked about still being defeated even if they had five Intimidate activations. They then let the player pass, in which the player finds Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} along with another Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunt, to which the Admin has the dimensional shifter, Steven then asks the player if he/she should engage with a Double Battle against them, giving a yes or no question. Once the battle ends, Aster, Zinnia's {{p|Whismur}}, comes in the room and snatches the dimensional shifter Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} . Steven then realizes it belongs to Zinnia, in which she then comes in. She then says what the impressive machine does in general, and then claps. She then says what would happen to another world when the meteoroid is transported. She then tells the player if he/she understands about what she just said, saving their own world, putting another in danger, giving I do or I don't choices, which doesn't affect the story. She explains about her people passing the lore about the distortions in the world because of Mega Evolution, and about a world the same as Hoenn, with Mega Evolution being unknown, and no ultimate weapon being built. She then breaks the dimensional shifter, with the Professor outraged about it, claiming she had no proof of another world like Earth existing. She then snatches Courtney's{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt's{{sup/6|AS}} Key Stone and says she is going to go to Team Magma's{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua's{{sup/6|AS}} Hideout for another Key Stone and leaves.

===Team Magma/Aqua Hideout===

Once the player enters the respective team's hideout, the grunts are all jumpy, thinking that the player is with Zinnia. When the player finally reaches Maxie's{{sup/6|OR}}/Archie's{{sup/6|AS}} Room, the player would find the leader and [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who are confronted by Zinnia, who just defeated the respective leader. Maxie{{sup/6|OR}}/Archie{{sup/6|AS}} is shocked about losing, and asks who she is. Zinnia then sees the player behind her, saying he/she was late. She then take the respective leader's Key Stone and leaves the room for [[Sky Pillar]]. Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}}/Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} are outraged about her barging in and taking the Stone. Maxie{{sup/6|OR}}/Archie{{sup/6|AS}} would then ask the respective admin to give the [[Mega Evolution|Cameruptite]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Mega Evolution|Sharpedonite]]{{sup/6|AS}}, since the leader has no Key Stone to trigger the transformation, much the admin's surprise. The leader then tells the player to stop Zinnia. Then, Steven will call the player, and see a connection with the Draconid, Sky Pillar, and Key Stones. Steven then requests the player to meet at the Mossdeep Space Center once again, then hangs up.

===Mossdeep City===


===Sootopolis City===
Outside the Cave of Origin, the player meets up with Wallace and is instructed to go to the entrance of the [[Sky Pillar]] on {{rt|131|Hoenn}}.

===Route 131===
Wallace challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]] in front of the Sky Pillar. Once he is defeated, he will move over from his spot in front of the entrance and let the player in.

===Sky Pillar===
The player is greeted by [[Zinnia]] when entering the main area. Zinnia then tells the story of the Draconids, one part per floor. When the player reaches the altar, Zinnia will summon Rayquaza, only to find out it doesn't possess enough energy to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Rayquaza consumes the sparkling {{key|VI|Meteorite}} the player received from [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Mt. Chimney]] and challenges the player to a battle. In order to proceed with the story, Rayquaza must be captured; if defeated, Rayquaza will remain atop Sky Pillar until the player has captured it. When Rayquaza is caught, Zinnia challenges the player to a final battle, wanting to test her skills against Rayquaza. After the battle, regardless of the outcome, the player puts a space suit on and rides on Rayquaza's back into space to destroy the meteoroid.

The meteoroid turns out to be a vessel for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, enabling it to travel through space. It appears at first in the form of a triangle, teleporting from one side of the screen to the other, it returns to the center and grows tentacles. Starting with Mega Rayquaza in their party, the player must battle Deoxys. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Delta Episode ends, with everyone celebrating that the meteor is no more.

If the player does not catch Deoxys during the Delta Episode, it will reappear the Dragonhark Altar on Sky Pillar after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] again.

Delta Episode

Deltamon3: /* Mossdeep City */

{{spoilers}}
[[File:ORAS Delta Episode.png|thumb|Promotional artwork for the Delta Episode]]
The '''Delta Episode''' (Japanese: '''エピソード　デルタ''' ''Episode Delta'') is a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The episode revolves around a meteoroid that is on course for collision with the planet and a newly developed character, [[Zinnia]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
After the player defeats {{Steven}} and first enters the [[Hall of Fame]], the Delta Episode is unlocked. The end of the credits sequence teases the Delta Episode, with Mom and [[Norman]] discussing the Litleonid meteor shower they bought tickets to see in [[Mossdeep City]], only to have Norman reveal that he must be at the Gym that day. As they wonder what to do with the tickets, a mysterious symbol takes over the screen and then fades into "To Be Continued."

When the player loads the game again, a cutscene introducing the Delta Episode starts at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] with a warning siren sounding. A meteoroid is expected to make impact on "a small island southwest of {{ci|Sootopolis}}, off of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}", presumably [[Sky Pillar]]. Uncertain about the nature or origin of the meteoroid, as the meteoroid seems to be able to change its trajectory, [[Professor Cozmo]] must devise a plan to keep the meteoroid from landing. Meanwhile, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}} accompanied by a {{p|Whismur}} is shown standing atop Sky Pillar changing out her team's uniform, revealing herself as the person the player will come to know as [[Zinnia]] as she changes into a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] cape. She mentions that there isn't much time left, displaying knowledge of the meteoroid's existence, and thinks that the player may have complicated matters by not allowing the "super-ancient Pokémon" ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}) to be revived in its [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]]. Regardless, she plans to make use of a [[Key Stone]] in order to revive {{p|Rayquaza}}, so it can destroy the meteoroid.

===Littleroot Town===
The player starts in their bedroom in [[Littleroot Town]], as is normal after defeating the Hoenn League. Mom and [[Norman]] are downstairs, and when the player comes down, Norman gives the player a {{key|VI|Pair of Tickets}} and suggests they take Brendan/May with them. When the player leaves the house, Zinnia is standing outside waiting for the player. She introduces herself and tells the player that she knows about them and their ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After Zinnia leaves, at Brendan/May's house, the player finds out that Zinna has stolen Brendan/May's Key Stone from them. They tell the player that Zinnia is headed to [[Petalburg City]] and that they should go with caution, as Zinnia is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Petalburg City===
In [[Petalburg City]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} can be found harassing [[Wally]] in front of his house. They are looking for a Key Stone as well. When the player approaches, Wally insists that he doesn't have the Key Stone. Wally then notices the player behind Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, prompting the Admin to notice the player and start a battle in a bid to steal the player's Key Stone as well. When the player defeats them, they leave for [[Meteor Falls]]. Wally informs the player that his Key Stone went missing prior to the arrival of the Admin. At this point, Steven contacts the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]] using a hidden feature called Entry Call that is still in development. He tells the player to meet him at the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]].

===Rustboro City===
Steven meets the player outside of the Devon Corporation. He takes them upstairs to meet his father, who has a lengthy story to tell. He tells of a [[Ultimate weapon|weapon]] created by [[AZ|one man]] to end a war 3,000 years ago in [[Kalos|a distant region]], a weapon powered by the life energy of Pokémon. Devon developed that energy source into [[Infinity Energy]]. He then tells the player about the asteroid that is on a collision course with the planet, and how they plan to avert the danger using a Devon rocket. For this, he asks that the player venture to [[Granite Cave]] and retrieve a {{key|VI|Meteorite Shard}}, which is a key piece of their plan. He tells Steven to take the Link Cable he gave him and go to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and start preparations.

===Granite Cave===
In Granite Cave, the player will find Zinnia and Aster (her Whismur) in the room with the wall painting. She reveals that this painting, showing Primal Reversion, was made by her ancestors, and alludes to another painting showing Mega Evolution. Turning away from the painting, Zinnia eagerly presses the player for a battle. After the battle, Zinnia gives the player a Meteorite Shard, but before leaving, she pauses to question the player about their motives and what they really know of the truth. Once she has left, a call from Steven comes through on the PokéNav Plus, and he asks the player to hurry back to the Space Center.

===Mossdeep City===

When the player arrives at the Mossdeep Space Center and tries to go upstairs, a receptionist will lead you to Steven and Prof. Cozmo. Cozmo then thanks the player for coming and bringing the Meteorite Shard, in which the player gives the shard afterwards. Steven then asks Cozmo about the current plan, in which Cozmo explains. He says the plan involves combining President Stone's Infinity Energy for a rocket and life energy of humans in Key Stones. It would also involve artificially replicating the massive energy created by the time of Mega Evolution. Cozmo says they would launch a rocket and create a "warp hole" in the meteoroid's path to transport it far away somewhere. He also additionally says that the technology already exists, with [[warp tiles]]. Steven then concerns about the place the warp hole would place the meteoroid, with Cozmo replying by linking two warp holes with a device called a Link Cable. Cozmo then says that more energy is needed for the Link Cable to work properly, and asks for another Meteorite Shard. Zinnia then barges in, with the receptionist following her and telling her to not barge in. The player, Cozmo, and Steven then goes to Zinnia, which Steven and Cozmo asks who she is and why she is here. Zinnia then introduces herself, describing herself as a regular tourist, then commenting about the technology in the room. She then asks about the energy powering the rocket, and then talking about it being related to the war 3,000 years ago. Steven thinks and asks why she wants them to stop the meteoroid, Zinnia then teases about being a former Champion, and asks if the player has a better idea, although it doesn't change the story. After she talks about sacrifices that are necessary and unnecessary. She then leaves, in which Steven and Cozmo talk about the second shard, which is in [[Meteor Falls]], not Granite Cave. Steven then asks the player to follow him to the falls.

===Meteor Falls===

Once the player enters Meteor Falls and takes the correct path, the player will find Steven, who has the Meteorite Shard, along with a Draconid woman. She gives a little info about Draconids, and saying Rayquaza to be the beginning of all. She says long ago, Hoenn suffered great disaster repeatedly, sometimes taking the form of meteoroids and Primal Reversions of Groudon and Kyogre, in which all were stopped by Rayquaza. She explains that Lorekeepers would offer a wish to the Rayquaza, and the Sky High Pokémon would transform and shine a bright light, which is actually Mega Evolution. She then says about the Pokémon being more powerful in that state, overcoming the both Primal Pokémon's power. Steven then relates the transformation to Mega Evolution, in which she does agree as Mega Evolution. Steven then asks about the Lorekeeper, in which the woman says that Zinnia is intact the Lorekeeper. She also reveals the reason why she joined Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, was to stop it in a strange way, by waking up Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Primal Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} to draw Rayquaza to Earth and help destroy the meteoroid, which failed due to the player defeating/capturing the Pokémon in the main story. She told the organization she was in how to find and awake the super-ancient Pokémon. She then decides to travel around Hoenn, taking Key Stones. Steven then realizes Zinnia who appeared in the Space Center was also a Draconid, and wonders why she would awake forces that would put Pokémon and people in risk. The old woman then explains that a lot if disasters were overcome many times, it was through great, great sacrifices. Steven then leaves to Rustboro City for Devon.

===Rustboro City===
When the player attempts to enter the Devon building, a {{tc|Scientist}} will run out, closely followed by a succession of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts. After the player has warded them off, the Scientist explains that a person from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} (Courtney/Matt) stole the control device for the Link Cable, a dimensional shifter. He believes they will head for the Mossdeep Space Center next, where he believes Steven also is.

===Mossdeep City===

Once the player approaches the Space Center, the player will notice Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} along with Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts outside of the center near the steps, who are rounded up to enter the center. When the player goes inside and tries to go upstairs, the five Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts with Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, who are revealed to be the same grunts from Team Magma's{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua's{{sup/6|AS}} Hideout, would block the way, and engage in a battle, all with a {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}}. Once defeated, the grunts would be shocked about still being defeated even if they had five Intimidate activations. They then let the player pass, in which the player finds Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} along with another Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunt, to which the Admin has the dimensional shifter, Steven then asks the player if he/she should engage with a Double Battle against them, giving a yes or no question. Once the battle ends, Aster, Zinnia's {{p|Whismur}}, comes in the room and snatches the dimensional shifter Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} . Steven then realizes it belongs to Zinnia, in which she then comes in. She then says what the impressive machine does in general, and then claps. She then says what would happen to another world when the meteoroid is transported. She then tells the player if he/she understands about what she just said, saving their own world, putting another in danger, giving I do or I don't choices, which doesn't affect the story. She explains about her people passing the lore about the distortions in the world because of Mega Evolution, and about a world the same as Hoenn, with Mega Evolution being unknown, and no ultimate weapon being built. She then breaks the dimensional shifter, with the Professor outraged about it, claiming she had no proof of another world like Earth existing. She then snatches Courtney's{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt's{{sup/6|AS}} Key Stone and says she is going to go to Team Magma's{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua's{{sup/6|AS}} Hideout for another Key Stone and leaves.

===Team Magma/Aqua Hideout===


===Mossdeep City===


===Sootopolis City===
Outside the Cave of Origin, the player meets up with Wallace and is instructed to go to the entrance of the [[Sky Pillar]] on {{rt|131|Hoenn}}.

===Route 131===
Wallace challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]] in front of the Sky Pillar. Once he is defeated, he will move over from his spot in front of the entrance and let the player in.

===Sky Pillar===
The player is greeted by [[Zinnia]] when entering the main area. Zinnia then tells the story of the Draconids, one part per floor. When the player reaches the altar, Zinnia will summon Rayquaza, only to find out it doesn't possess enough energy to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Rayquaza consumes the sparkling {{key|VI|Meteorite}} the player received from [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Mt. Chimney]] and challenges the player to a battle. In order to proceed with the story, Rayquaza must be captured; if defeated, Rayquaza will remain atop Sky Pillar until the player has captured it. When Rayquaza is caught, Zinnia challenges the player to a final battle, wanting to test her skills against Rayquaza. After the battle, regardless of the outcome, the player puts a space suit on and rides on Rayquaza's back into space to destroy the meteoroid.

The meteoroid turns out to be a vessel for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, enabling it to travel through space. It appears at first in the form of a triangle, teleporting from one side of the screen to the other, it returns to the center and grows tentacles. Starting with Mega Rayquaza in their party, the player must battle Deoxys. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Delta Episode ends, with everyone celebrating that the meteor is no more.

If the player does not catch Deoxys during the Delta Episode, it will reappear the Dragonhark Altar on Sky Pillar after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] again.

Delta Episode

2015-03-22T19:39:42Z

Deltamon3: /* Meteor Falls */ Meteor Falls plot, (remove uneeeded details)

{{spoilers}}
[[File:ORAS Delta Episode.png|thumb|Promotional artwork for the Delta Episode]]
The '''Delta Episode''' (Japanese: '''エピソード　デルタ''' ''Episode Delta'') is a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The episode revolves around a meteoroid that is on course for collision with the planet and a newly developed character, [[Zinnia]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
After the player defeats {{Steven}} and first enters the [[Hall of Fame]], the Delta Episode is unlocked. The end of the credits sequence teases the Delta Episode, with Mom and [[Norman]] discussing the Litleonid meteor shower they bought tickets to see in [[Mossdeep City]], only to have Norman reveal that he must be at the Gym that day. As they wonder what to do with the tickets, a mysterious symbol takes over the screen and then fades into "To Be Continued."

When the player loads the game again, a cutscene introducing the Delta Episode starts at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] with a warning siren sounding. A meteoroid is expected to make impact on "a small island southwest of {{ci|Sootopolis}}, off of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}", presumably [[Sky Pillar]]. Uncertain about the nature or origin of the meteoroid, as the meteoroid seems to be able to change its trajectory, [[Professor Cozmo]] must devise a plan to keep the meteoroid from landing. Meanwhile, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}} accompanied by a {{p|Whismur}} is shown standing atop Sky Pillar changing out her team's uniform, revealing herself as the person the player will come to know as [[Zinnia]] as she changes into a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] cape. She mentions that there isn't much time left, displaying knowledge of the meteoroid's existence, and thinks that the player may have complicated matters by not allowing the "super-ancient Pokémon" ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}) to be revived in its [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]]. Regardless, she plans to make use of a [[Key Stone]] in order to revive {{p|Rayquaza}}, so it can destroy the meteoroid.

===Littleroot Town===
The player starts in their bedroom in [[Littleroot Town]], as is normal after defeating the Hoenn League. Mom and [[Norman]] are downstairs, and when the player comes down, Norman gives the player a {{key|VI|Pair of Tickets}} and suggests they take Brendan/May with them. When the player leaves the house, Zinnia is standing outside waiting for the player. She introduces herself and tells the player that she knows about them and their ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After Zinnia leaves, at Brendan/May's house, the player finds out that Zinna has stolen Brendan/May's Key Stone from them. They tell the player that Zinnia is headed to [[Petalburg City]] and that they should go with caution, as Zinnia is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Petalburg City===
In [[Petalburg City]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} can be found harassing [[Wally]] in front of his house. They are looking for a Key Stone as well. When the player approaches, Wally insists that he doesn't have the Key Stone. Wally then notices the player behind Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, prompting the Admin to notice the player and start a battle in a bid to steal the player's Key Stone as well. When the player defeats them, they leave for [[Meteor Falls]]. Wally informs the player that his Key Stone went missing prior to the arrival of the Admin. At this point, Steven contacts the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]] using a hidden feature called Entry Call that is still in development. He tells the player to meet him at the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]].

===Rustboro City===
Steven meets the player outside of the Devon Corporation. He takes them upstairs to meet his father, who has a lengthy story to tell. He tells of a [[Ultimate weapon|weapon]] created by [[AZ|one man]] to end a war 3,000 years ago in [[Kalos|a distant region]], a weapon powered by the life energy of Pokémon. Devon developed that energy source into [[Infinity Energy]]. He then tells the player about the asteroid that is on a collision course with the planet, and how they plan to avert the danger using a Devon rocket. For this, he asks that the player venture to [[Granite Cave]] and retrieve a {{key|VI|Meteorite Shard}}, which is a key piece of their plan. He tells Steven to take the Link Cable he gave him and go to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and start preparations.

===Granite Cave===
In Granite Cave, the player will find Zinnia and Aster (her Whismur) in the room with the wall painting. She reveals that this painting, showing Primal Reversion, was made by her ancestors, and alludes to another painting showing Mega Evolution. Turning away from the painting, Zinnia eagerly presses the player for a battle. After the battle, Zinnia gives the player a Meteorite Shard, but before leaving, she pauses to question the player about their motives and what they really know of the truth. Once she has left, a call from Steven comes through on the PokéNav Plus, and he asks the player to hurry back to the Space Center.

===Mossdeep City===

When the player arrives at the Mossdeep Space Center and tries to go upstairs, a receptionist will lead you to Steven and Prof. Cozmo. Cozmo then thanks the player for coming and bringing the Meteorite Shard, in which the player gives the shard afterwards. Steven then asks Cozmo about the current plan, in which Cozmo explains. He says the plan involves combining President Stone's Infinity Energy for a rocket and life energy of humans in Key Stones. It would also involve artificially replicating the massive energy created by the time of Mega Evolution. Cozmo says they would launch a rocket and create a "warp hole" in the meteoroid's path to transport it far away somewhere. He also additionally says that the technology already exists, with [[warp tiles]]. Steven then concerns about the place the warp hole would place the meteoroid, with Cozmo replying by linking two warp holes with a device called a Link Cable. Cozmo then says that more energy is needed for the Link Cable to work properly, and asks for another Meteorite Shard. Zinnia then barges in, with the receptionist following her and telling her to not barge in. The player, Cozmo, and Steven then goes to Zinnia, which Steven and Cozmo asks who she is and why she is here. Zinnia then introduces herself, describing herself as a regular tourist, then commenting about the technology in the room. She then asks about the energy powering the rocket, and then talking about it being related to the war 3,000 years ago. Steven thinks and asks why she wants them to stop the meteoroid, Zinnia then teases about being a former Champion, and asks if the player has a better idea, although it doesn't change the story. After she talks about sacrifices that are necessary and unnecessary. She then leaves, in which Steven and Cozmo talk about the second shard, which is in [[Meteor Falls]], not Granite Cave. Steven then asks the player to follow him to the falls.

===Meteor Falls===

Once the player enters Meteor Falls and takes the correct path, the player will find Steven, who has the Meteorite Shard, along with a Draconid woman. She gives a little info about Draconids, and saying Rayquaza to be the beginning of all. She says long ago, Hoenn suffered great disaster repeatedly, sometimes taking the form of meteoroids and Primal Reversions of Groudon and Kyogre, in which all were stopped by Rayquaza. She explains that Lorekeepers would offer a wish to the Rayquaza, and the Sky High Pokémon would transform and shine a bright light, which is actually Mega Evolution. She then says about the Pokémon being more powerful in that state, overcoming the both Primal Pokémon's power. Steven then relates the transformation to Mega Evolution, in which she does agree as Mega Evolution. Steven then asks about the Lorekeeper, in which the woman says that Zinnia is intact the Lorekeeper. She also reveals the reason why she joined Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, was to stop it in a strange way, by waking up Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Primal Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} to draw Rayquaza to Earth and help destroy the meteoroid, which failed due to the player defeating/capturing the Pokémon in the main story. She told the organization she was in how to find and awake the super-ancient Pokémon. She then decides to travel around Hoenn, taking Key Stones. Steven then realizes Zinnia who appeared in the Space Center was also a Draconid, and wonders why she would awake forces that would put Pokémon and people in risk. The old woman then explains that a lot if disasters were overcome many times, it was through great, great sacrifices. Steven then leaves to Rustboro City for Devon.

===Rustboro City===
When the player attempts to enter the Devon building, a {{tc|Scientist}} will run out, closely followed by a succession of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts. After the player has warded them off, the Scientist explains that a person from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} (Courtney/Matt) stole the control device for the Link Cable, a dimensional shifter. He believes they will head for the Mossdeep Space Center next, where he believes Steven also is.

===Mossdeep City===


===Team Magma/Aqua Hideout===


===Mossdeep City===


===Sootopolis City===
Outside the Cave of Origin, the player meets up with Wallace and is instructed to go to the entrance of the [[Sky Pillar]] on {{rt|131|Hoenn}}.

===Route 131===
Wallace challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]] in front of the Sky Pillar. Once he is defeated, he will move over from his spot in front of the entrance and let the player in.

===Sky Pillar===
The player is greeted by [[Zinnia]] when entering the main area. Zinnia then tells the story of the Draconids, one part per floor. When the player reaches the altar, Zinnia will summon Rayquaza, only to find out it doesn't possess enough energy to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Rayquaza consumes the sparkling {{key|VI|Meteorite}} the player received from [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Mt. Chimney]] and challenges the player to a battle. In order to proceed with the story, Rayquaza must be captured; if defeated, Rayquaza will remain atop Sky Pillar until the player has captured it. When Rayquaza is caught, Zinnia challenges the player to a final battle, wanting to test her skills against Rayquaza. After the battle, regardless of the outcome, the player puts a space suit on and rides on Rayquaza's back into space to destroy the meteoroid.

The meteoroid turns out to be a vessel for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, enabling it to travel through space. It appears at first in the form of a triangle, teleporting from one side of the screen to the other, it returns to the center and grows tentacles. Starting with Mega Rayquaza in their party, the player must battle Deoxys. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Delta Episode ends, with everyone celebrating that the meteor is no more.

If the player does not catch Deoxys during the Delta Episode, it will reappear the Dragonhark Altar on Sky Pillar after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] again.

Delta Episode

Deltamon3: /* Mossdeep City */ extension to the plot in Mossdeep

{{spoilers}}
[[File:ORAS Delta Episode.png|thumb|Promotional artwork for the Delta Episode]]
The '''Delta Episode''' (Japanese: '''エピソード　デルタ''' ''Episode Delta'') is a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The episode revolves around a meteoroid that is on course for collision with the planet and a newly developed character, [[Zinnia]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
After the player defeats {{Steven}} and first enters the [[Hall of Fame]], the Delta Episode is unlocked. The end of the credits sequence teases the Delta Episode, with Mom and [[Norman]] discussing the Litleonid meteor shower they bought tickets to see in [[Mossdeep City]], only to have Norman reveal that he must be at the Gym that day. As they wonder what to do with the tickets, a mysterious symbol takes over the screen and then fades into "To Be Continued."

When the player loads the game again, a cutscene introducing the Delta Episode starts at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] with a warning siren sounding. A meteoroid is expected to make impact on "a small island southwest of {{ci|Sootopolis}}, off of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}", presumably [[Sky Pillar]]. Uncertain about the nature or origin of the meteoroid, as the meteoroid seems to be able to change its trajectory, [[Professor Cozmo]] must devise a plan to keep the meteoroid from landing. Meanwhile, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}} accompanied by a {{p|Whismur}} is shown standing atop Sky Pillar changing out her team's uniform, revealing herself as the person the player will come to know as [[Zinnia]] as she changes into a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] cape. She mentions that there isn't much time left, displaying knowledge of the meteoroid's existence, and thinks that the player may have complicated matters by not allowing the "super-ancient Pokémon" ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}) to be revived in its [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]]. Regardless, she plans to make use of a [[Key Stone]] in order to revive {{p|Rayquaza}}, so it can destroy the meteoroid.

===Littleroot Town===
The player starts in their bedroom in [[Littleroot Town]], as is normal after defeating the Hoenn League. Mom and [[Norman]] are downstairs, and when the player comes down, Norman gives the player a {{key|VI|Pair of Tickets}} and suggests they take Brendan/May with them. When the player leaves the house, Zinnia is standing outside waiting for the player. She introduces herself and tells the player that she knows about them and their ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After Zinnia leaves, at Brendan/May's house, the player finds out that Zinna has stolen Brendan/May's Key Stone from them. They tell the player that Zinnia is headed to [[Petalburg City]] and that they should go with caution, as Zinnia is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Petalburg City===
In [[Petalburg City]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} can be found harassing [[Wally]] in front of his house. They are looking for a Key Stone as well. When the player approaches, Wally insists that he doesn't have the Key Stone. Wally then notices the player behind Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, prompting the Admin to notice the player and start a battle in a bid to steal the player's Key Stone as well. When the player defeats them, they leave for [[Meteor Falls]]. Wally informs the player that his Key Stone went missing prior to the arrival of the Admin. At this point, Steven contacts the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]] using a hidden feature called Entry Call that is still in development. He tells the player to meet him at the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]].

===Rustboro City===
Steven meets the player outside of the Devon Corporation. He takes them upstairs to meet his father, who has a lengthy story to tell. He tells of a [[Ultimate weapon|weapon]] created by [[AZ|one man]] to end a war 3,000 years ago in [[Kalos|a distant region]], a weapon powered by the life energy of Pokémon. Devon developed that energy source into [[Infinity Energy]]. He then tells the player about the asteroid that is on a collision course with the planet, and how they plan to avert the danger using a Devon rocket. For this, he asks that the player venture to [[Granite Cave]] and retrieve a {{key|VI|Meteorite Shard}}, which is a key piece of their plan. He tells Steven to take the Link Cable he gave him and go to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and start preparations.

===Granite Cave===
In Granite Cave, the player will find Zinnia and Aster (her Whismur) in the room with the wall painting. She reveals that this painting, showing Primal Reversion, was made by her ancestors, and alludes to another painting showing Mega Evolution. Turning away from the painting, Zinnia eagerly presses the player for a battle. After the battle, Zinnia gives the player a Meteorite Shard, but before leaving, she pauses to question the player about their motives and what they really know of the truth. Once she has left, a call from Steven comes through on the PokéNav Plus, and he asks the player to hurry back to the Space Center.

===Mossdeep City===

When the player arrives at the Mossdeep Space Center and tries to go upstairs, a receptionist will lead you to Steven and Prof. Cozmo. Cozmo then thanks the player for coming and bringing the Meteorite Shard, in which the player gives the shard afterwards. Steven then asks Cozmo about the current plan, in which Cozmo explains. He says the plan involves combining President Stone's Infinity Energy for a rocket and life energy of humans in Key Stones. It would also involve artificially replicating the massive energy created by the time of Mega Evolution. Cozmo says they would launch a rocket and create a "warp hole" in the meteoroid's path to transport it far away somewhere. He also additionally says that the technology already exists, with [[warp tiles]]. Steven then concerns about the place the warp hole would place the meteoroid, with Cozmo replying by linking two warp holes with a device called a Link Cable. Cozmo then says that more energy is needed for the Link Cable to work properly, and asks for another Meteorite Shard. Zinnia then barges in, with the receptionist following her and telling her to not barge in. The player, Cozmo, and Steven then goes to Zinnia, which Steven and Cozmo asks who she is and why she is here. Zinnia then introduces herself, describing herself as a regular tourist, then commenting about the technology in the room. She then asks about the energy powering the rocket, and then talking about it being related to the war 3,000 years ago. Steven thinks and asks why she wants them to stop the meteoroid, Zinnia then teases about being a former Champion, and asks if the player has a better idea, although it doesn't change the story. After she talks about sacrifices that are necessary and unnecessary. She then leaves, in which Steven and Cozmo talk about the second shard, which is in [[Meteor Falls]], not Granite Cave. Steven then asks the player to follow him to the falls.

===Meteor Falls===


===Rustboro City===
When the player attempts to enter the Devon building, a {{tc|Scientist}} will run out, closely followed by a succession of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts. After the player has warded them off, the Scientist explains that a person from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} (Courtney/Matt) stole the control device for the Link Cable, a dimensional shifter. He believes they will head for the Mossdeep Space Center next, where he believes Steven also is.

===Mossdeep City===


===Team Magma/Aqua Hideout===


===Mossdeep City===


===Sootopolis City===
Outside the Cave of Origin, the player meets up with Wallace and is instructed to go to the entrance of the [[Sky Pillar]] on {{rt|131|Hoenn}}.

===Route 131===
Wallace challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]] in front of the Sky Pillar. Once he is defeated, he will move over from his spot in front of the entrance and let the player in.

===Sky Pillar===
The player is greeted by [[Zinnia]] when entering the main area. Zinnia then tells the story of the Draconids, one part per floor. When the player reaches the altar, Zinnia will summon Rayquaza, only to find out it doesn't possess enough energy to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Rayquaza consumes the sparkling {{key|VI|Meteorite}} the player received from [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Mt. Chimney]] and challenges the player to a battle. In order to proceed with the story, Rayquaza must be captured; if defeated, Rayquaza will remain atop Sky Pillar until the player has captured it. When Rayquaza is caught, Zinnia challenges the player to a final battle, wanting to test her skills against Rayquaza. After the battle, regardless of the outcome, the player puts a space suit on and rides on Rayquaza's back into space to destroy the meteoroid.

The meteoroid turns out to be a vessel for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, enabling it to travel through space. It appears at first in the form of a triangle, teleporting from one side of the screen to the other, it returns to the center and grows tentacles. Starting with Mega Rayquaza in their party, the player must battle Deoxys. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Delta Episode ends, with everyone celebrating that the meteor is no more.

If the player does not catch Deoxys during the Delta Episode, it will reappear the Dragonhark Altar on Sky Pillar after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] again.

The '''Delta Episode''' (Japanese: '''エピソード　デルタ''' ''Episode Delta'') is a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The episode revolves around a meteoroid that is on course for collision with the planet and a newly developed character, [[Zinnia]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
After the player defeats {{Steven}} and first enters the [[Hall of Fame]], the Delta Episode is unlocked. The end of the credits sequence teases the Delta Episode, with Mom and [[Norman]] discussing the Litleonid meteor shower they bought tickets to see in [[Mossdeep City]], only to have Norman reveal that he must be at the Gym that day. As they wonder what to do with the tickets, a mysterious symbol takes over the screen and then fades into "To Be Continued."

When the player loads the game again, a cutscene introducing the Delta Episode starts at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] with a warning siren sounding. A meteoroid is expected to make impact on "a small island southwest of {{ci|Sootopolis}}, off of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}", presumably [[Sky Pillar]]. Uncertain about the nature or origin of the meteoroid, as the meteoroid seems to be able to change its trajectory, [[Professor Cozmo]] must devise a plan to keep the meteoroid from landing. Meanwhile, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}} accompanied by a {{p|Whismur}} is shown standing atop Sky Pillar changing out her team's uniform, revealing herself as the person the player will come to know as [[Zinnia]] as she changes into a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] cape. She mentions that there isn't much time left, displaying knowledge of the meteoroid's existence, and thinks that the player may have complicated matters by not allowing the "super-ancient Pokémon" ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}) to be revived in its [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]]. Regardless, she plans to make use of a [[Key Stone]] in order to revive {{p|Rayquaza}}, so it can destroy the meteoroid.

===Littleroot Town===
The player starts in their bedroom in [[Littleroot Town]], as is normal after defeating the Hoenn League. Mom and [[Norman]] are downstairs, and when the player comes down, Norman gives the player a {{key|VI|Pair of Tickets}} and suggests they take Brendan/May with them. When the player leaves the house, Zinnia is standing outside waiting for the player. She introduces herself and tells the player that she knows about them and their ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After Zinnia leaves, at Brendan/May's house, the player finds out that Zinna has stolen Brendan/May's Key Stone from them. They tell the player that Zinnia is headed to [[Petalburg City]] and that they should go with caution, as Zinnia is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Petalburg City===
In [[Petalburg City]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} can be found harassing [[Wally]] in front of his house. They are looking for a Key Stone as well. When the player approaches, Wally insists that he doesn't have the Key Stone. Wally then notices the player behind Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, prompting the Admin to notice the player and start a battle in a bid to steal the player's Key Stone as well. When the player defeats them, they leave for [[Meteor Falls]]. Wally informs the player that his Key Stone went missing prior to the arrival of the Admin. At this point, Steven contacts the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]] using a hidden feature called Entry Call that is still in development. He tells the player to meet him at the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]].

===Rustboro City===
Steven meets the player outside of the Devon Corporation. He takes them upstairs to meet his father, who has a lengthy story to tell. He tells of a [[Ultimate weapon|weapon]] created by [[AZ|one man]] to end a war 3,000 years ago in [[Kalos|a distant region]], a weapon powered by the life energy of Pokémon. Devon developed that energy source into [[Infinity Energy]]. He then tells the player about the asteroid that is on a collision course with the planet, and how they plan to avert the danger using a Devon rocket. For this, he asks that the player venture to [[Granite Cave]] and retrieve a {{key|VI|Meteorite Shard}}, which is a key piece of their plan. He tells Steven to take the Link Cable he gave him and go to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and start preparations.

===Granite Cave===
In Granite Cave, the player will find Zinnia and Aster (her Whismur) in the room with the wall painting. She reveals that this painting, showing Primal Reversion, was made by her ancestors, and alludes to another painting showing Mega Evolution. Turning away from the painting, Zinnia eagerly presses the player for a battle. After the battle, Zinnia gives the player a Meteorite Shard, but before leaving, she pauses to question the player about their motives and what they really know of the truth. Once she has left, a call from Steven comes through on the PokéNav Plus, and he asks the player to hurry back to the Space Center.

===Mossdeep City===


===Meteor Falls===


===Rustboro City===
When the player attempts to enter the Devon building, a {{tc|Scientist}} will run out, closely followed by a succession of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts. After the player has warded them off, the Scientist explains that a person from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} (Courtney/Matt) stole the control device for the Link Cable, a dimensional shifter. He believes they will head for the Mossdeep Space Center next, where he believes Steven also is.

===Mossdeep City===


===Team Magma/Aqua Hideout===


===Mossdeep City===


===Sootopolis City===
Outside the Cave of Origin, the player meets up with Wallace and is instructed to go to the entrance of the [[Sky Pillar]] on {{rt|131|Hoenn}}.

===Route 131===
Wallace challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]] in front of the Sky Pillar. Once he is defeated, he will move over from his spot in front of the entrance and let the player in.

===Sky Pillar===
The player is greeted by [[Zinnia]] when entering the main area. Zinnia then tells the story of the Draconids, one part per floor. When the player reaches the altar, Zinnia will summon Rayquaza, only to find out it doesn't possess enough energy to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Rayquaza consumes the sparkling {{key|VI|Meteorite}} the player received from [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Mt. Chimney]] and challenges the player to a battle. In order to proceed with the story, Rayquaza must be captured; if defeated, Rayquaza will remain atop Sky Pillar until the player has captured it. When Rayquaza is caught, Zinnia challenges the player to a final battle, wanting to test her skills against Rayquaza. After the battle, regardless of the outcome, the player puts a space suit on and rides on Rayquaza's back into space to destroy the meteoroid.

The meteoroid turns out to be a vessel for the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, enabling it to travel through space. It appears at first in the form of a triangle, teleporting from one side of the screen to the other, it returns to the center and grows tentacles. Starting with Mega Rayquaza in their party, the player must battle Deoxys. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Delta Episode ends, with everyone celebrating that the meteor is no more.

If the player does not catch Deoxys during the Delta Episode, it will reappear the Dragonhark Altar on Sky Pillar after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] again.

'''Transform''' (Japanese: '''へんしん''' ''Transform'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is notable for being the only move of {{p|Ditto}} despite never being a [[signature move]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Transform changes the user's current type, current [[stats]], current stat modifications, current moves, current species, and current [[cry]] to that of the target's.

Each move copied by Transform will have 5 {{PP}}. With this in mind, if a Ditto encounters another Ditto in this game, both Ditto will continually Transform into each other, replenishing the 5 PP constantly and making the battle seemingly endless.

Transform does not copy the target's [[status condition]]s, level, current or maximum {{stat|HP}}, base experience, palette colors or the generic minimize image. The current stat changes due to Transform will be ignored by [[critical hit]]s, because critical hits are based upon the Pokémon's original stats. Transform affects the user and not the target, so it is not affected by modification to the {{stat|accuracy}} stat and {{stat|evasion}} stat. However, Transform cannot be used on a target that is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

In-game, if a wild Pokémon uses Transform and is subsequently caught, it will become a {{p|Ditto}}, regardless of what species it originally was. It will then have all the stats and moves of a Ditto, except for its current HP, which will remain unaltered by this change.

In Stadium, Transform will not work if the target's current species is Ditto.

===Generation II===
Transform, if used by a [[Shiny Pokémon]], will cause the Pokémon species transformed into to appear Shiny. Likewise, a normal Pokémon transforming into a Shiny target's species will appear as a normal version. A transformed Pokémon retains its original species for determining if it is boosted by Pokémon-specific [[stat-enhancing item]]s, with the exception of [[Metal Powder]], which uses the target's species.

Transform will now fail if used on an opponent who has already transformed. Wild Pokémon are now treated as their original species upon capture after transforming, rather than being treated as Ditto like in Generation I.

===Generation III===
Transform copies the target Pokémon's [[Ability]]. During a Pokémon Contest, the Pokémon will transform into one of other contestants.

===Generation IV===
Unlike Generations II and III, the user of the move copies the target's {{Shiny|coloration}} and [[Form differences|form]]; therefore, if the target is {{Shiny}}, then the user's transformed state will be Shiny as well. If Transform is used on a [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], then the Pokémon who used it will transform into a Spiky-eared Pichu. If the alternate form requires holding an item, such as with [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}} or {{p|Arceus}}, and the Pokémon who used Transform is not holding the required item, the Pokémon will first transform to its target's current form, then immediately revert to the form dictated by the transformed Pokémon's held item; therefore, if it transforms into an Arceus but holds a [[Plate]], it will first assume the target Arceus's form, then immediately change to the form corresponding to its Plate.

A transformed Pokémon retains its original species for determining if it is boosted by Pokémon-specific [[stat-enhancing item]]s, with the exception of [[Metal Powder]] and [[Quick Powder]], which use the target's species.

===Generation V===
Transform no longer copies the target's [[catch rate]]. Transform will now fail if used on a Pokémon behind a {{m|Substitute}} or a Pokémon under the effect of {{a|Illusion}}. If Transform is used on an [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}}, the Pokémon who used Transform will remain in Origin Forme even if it is not holding a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}, instead of reverting to Altered Forme. If Transform is used on an {{p|Arceus}}, the Pokémon will retain the target {{p|Arceus}}'s type and not revert to the type corresponding to its held Plate (or lack of one).

{{a|Imposter}}, [[Ditto]]'s signature Ability introduced in this generation, automatically causes the user to transform into the opponent.

===Generation VI===
The user will transform into [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon and maintain the form regardless of whether it holds the required [[Mega Stone]]. This has no effect on the restriction that only allows each player one Mega Evolution per battle.

Transform will fail if used on a Pokémon that is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.

In Pokémon Contest Spectacular, if Transform is used, a {{m|Substitute}} doll would be thrown in the stage. The user would then transform into the doll. The effects of Transform will last for the round it is used in.

==Oddities==
Because Transform takes on the exact form of the Pokémon transformed into, strange things can occur when a Pokémon uses the move to become another. Specifically, Pokémon with multiple forms cause the transforming Pokémon to behave oddly.

===Gastro Acid===
If the Pokémon that is Transforming has previously had {{m|Gastro Acid}} used on it and then subsequently uses Transform without switching out beforehand, the Pokémon that it transforms into will not regain its Ability, and thus will not change forms if the Ability of the Pokémon transformed into causes this.

===Origin Forme Giratina===
In Generation IV, when a Pokémon transforms into [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}}, they will retain this form only briefly, and then will revert to Altered Forme. This is because only Giratina can hold the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}, which forces this form outside of the [[Distortion World]]. Note that if the player is able to have a Pokémon that can transform when battling Giratina for the first time in the Distortion World, that Pokémon will be able to retain its transformation into Origin Forme (due to being inside of the Distortion World).

In contrast, in Generation V, when a Pokémon transforms into Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, it will retain the Origin Forme.

===Arceus===
In Generation IV, when a Pokémon transforms into {{p|Arceus}}, it will become Arceus in its Normal form, unless it is holding a [[Plate]]. Holding a Plate, the transformed Pokémon will at first take Arceus's current form, and then subsequently transform into the alternate form dictated by the Plate.

In contrast, in Generation V, when a Pokémon transforms into a Plate-holding Arceus, it will retain the Arceus's appearance and type, but Judgment will remain Normal unless the transformed Pokémon is holding a Plate itself, as the move copies the Plate's type rather than the holder's.

===Transform loop===
In [[Generation I]] if Ditto (or another Pokémon with only Transform) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 {{PP}} each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}} in later generations who, although they too have no directly damaging moves, will eventually run out of PP and thus be able to use Struggle. This is likely why few Trainers have Ditto in the Generation I games.

This issue is not present in any other games because of a change in Transform mechanics: from Generation II onwards, it is not possible to Transform into a Pokémon that is the Transformation of another Pokémon.

===PP restoration===
While transformed, any attempt to use a PP restoring item on the moves acquired during transformation will fail. However, if the transformed Pokémon is holding a Leppa Berry, a copied move low on PP will be restored.

==Glitches==
===--===
{{main|-- (move)}}
In Generation I, if a Pokémon transforms into another Pokémon that knows more moves and, while transformed, switches the position of the move in the slot of a legitimate move and one which should contain no move, after reverting to its original form, it will have access to the [[List of glitch moves|glitch move]] {{m|--}}.

===Ditto glitch===
{{main|Mew glitch#Ditto glitch|Mew glitch}}
The primary method of the Mew glitch involves having a wild Ditto transform into the player's Pokémon, as this copies the {{stat|Special}} stat, which is used to modify the species of Pokémon encountered.

===Transform assumption glitch===
In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, any Pokémon that uses Transform is regarded as a {{p|Ditto}} in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a [[glitch Pokémon]] which has used the move Transform, or a Pokémon which has used Transform via {{m|Mirror Move}}, instead they will obtain a Ditto. Mew turning into Ditto was not an issue in these games because a wild Mew could not be legitimately encountered, but this system was changed in Generation III where it could.
{{youtubevid|VLBh7XIYaE0|v0id19|normal}}

===Shiny Ditto glitch===
{{main|List of glitches in Generation II#Shiny Ditto glitch|List of glitches in Generation II}}
The Shiny Ditto glitch requires a game from [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], but only has an effect on a Generation II game. In Generation I, if a Pokémon uses the move {{m|Transform}} while already transformed, after being caught it will retain the {{IV}}s of the Pokémon it transformed into. Due to Shininess being determined by IVs in Generations I and II, this allows the player to make a wild Ditto Shiny by having it use Transform while already Transformed; this can be accomplished by either having a Shiny Pokémon that knows Transform ({{p|Mew}}, certain [[glitch Pokémon]], or another Ditto), or by teaching a Shiny Pokémon Mimic, then having the wild Ditto use Mimic on the move Transform. While Shiny Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, due to being determined by IVs, this Ditto will be Shiny when traded to Generation II.

===Sketch glitch===
{{main|Sketch glitch}}
In Generation II, if a Pokémon uses {{m|Sketch}} while transformed, it will permanently learn the Sketched move.

===Transform held item glitch===
{{main|List of glitches in Generation IV#Transform held item glitch|List of glitches in Generation IV}}
In Japanese versions of Diamond and Pearl, if a Pokémon [[Held item|holding an item]] uses Transform and has its item stolen, as long as it does not faint before the end of the battle, both the transforming Pokémon and the thief will retain the item after the battle.

===Mimic glitch===
{{main|Mimic glitch}}
In Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, if a Pokémon uses Transform via {{m|Mimic}} then faints, it will keep the moves it learned via Transform.

===Rage glitch===
{{main|Rage glitch}}
In [[Generation IV]], if a transformed Pokémon uses {{m|Rage}} and causes the message "Rage is building" to appear, then defeats or captures the opponent, the Pokémon will permanently learn the moves it knew while transformed.

==In other games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon}} series===
Transform causes the user to take only the form of a random hostile Pokémon on the dungeon's floor. It does not copy that Pokémon's moves, type combination, Abilities or stats. It has only 1 PP, leaving the user only the basic attack and {{m|Struggle}} left to use (unless the user knows moves other than Transform).

==Trivia==
* In the German version of the [[Generation II]] games, this move was renamed from ''Wandler'' into ''Verwandler''. The reason for this is unknown. Even though the difference in meaning is minimal, this change was retracted in the following generations.
* Transform is the only way to see the battle animation of {{p|Cherrim}}'s [[Form differences|Sunshine Form]] prior to [[Generation V]], as Cherrim sent from a Poké Ball will always be sent out in Overcast Form, and Cherrim is not available in the wild in Generation IV. A Ditto that transforms into Cherrim, however, will play the animation of the alternate form if it escapes from a thrown Poké Ball.
* With the help of Transform, Pokémon can legitimately have more than 510 total [[effort values]]: if the target has EVs in some stats beside {{stat|HP}} and the Transform user has EVs in HP, after transforming the total number of its EVs can exceed 510 due to HP not being copied.

Deltamon3: /* XY series */ updating episodes aired in both countries

[[File:Early anime film frame.png|thumb|230px|Early anime frame from [[EP093]]]]
The '''Pokémon {{wp|anime}}''', often referred to as just "the anime" by Pokémon fans, is a collective term referring to currently {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Original series episodes}} - 8 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Advanced Generation series episodes}} - 6 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Diamond & Pearl series episodes}} - 5 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Best Wishes series episodes}} - 4 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:XY series episodes}} - 2}} main series episodes, {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Movies}} - 2}} movies, and a number of side-story episodes, all focusing on [[Pokémon]]. The great majority of these focus on [[Ash Ketchum]], a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Pallet Town]], and his journey toward his ultimate goal of being a [[Pokémon Master]], {{ashfr|his many friends}}, and most especially his Pokémon, who he considers his partners and friends.

Though the anime is ultimately based upon the {{pkmn|games}} and draws heavily from them, many concepts which are only touched on the games are spun in a unique way, and expanded on.

The anime has been broadcasted in at least 74<ref>http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/10/12/pokemon_stats/</ref> {{cat|Pokémon around the world|different countries}}, many times being [[dub]]bed into other languages for different locales. [[The Pokémon Company International]] usually refers to the anime as the "Pokémon animated series" or "Pokémon television series", while some [[event Pokémon]] based on Pokémon from the anime have their location set as "Pokémon Cartoon" in the English version of the games.

==Overview==
From the [[EP001|very first episode]], Ash has been the central character, making his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master known to all he meets. Though initially, he only became a Pokémon Trainer with the goal of beating his rival, [[Gary Oak]], the many Pokémon Ash has met over his journey have shown him what being a Pokémon Master really is. Unlike most Trainers from Pallet, and indeed, unlike players of {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Ash did not start his journey with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, as he arrived late to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to receive his [[starter Pokémon]]. Instead, Ash was given the only Pokémon Oak had left to give, a {{AP|Pikachu}} that did not enjoy being inside its [[Poké Ball]], and from there Ash learned to treat his Pokémon as partners, earning Pikachu's trust by keeping it safe from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} he angered.

Since then, Ash has journeyed across all six of the regions that appear in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]], a region he visited before beginning his journey in [[Johto]] until it was closer in time to the real world release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. In each, he battles against the native [[Gym Leader]]s for their [[Badge]]s, as do Trainers in the core series games, to compete in the regional [[Pokémon League]], a [[Pokémon League Conference|championship tournament]], rather than five battles straight against the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}. While his initial strategy was to continue using the same party over the course of his {{pkmn|journey}}, letting some Pokémon go when they were required to do something or wanted to train, he has, since his journey in Hoenn, changed strategy, and now uses only those Pokémon which he has caught in the region, alongside Pikachu, to battle against Gym Leaders, with his explanation to Dawn being that he wants to prove to the young, unevolved Pokémon he meets in each new region that ''they'' can win if they try.

Over the course of the series, Ash has had several {{AP|friends}} who travel with him, typically across one region, who assist him in his journey as much as he assists in theirs. {{an|Misty}}, the Gym Leader from [[Cerulean City]] in the games, joins him in the [[original series]], as does {{an|Brock}}, [[Pewter City]]'s Gym Leader, in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. [[Tracey Sketchit]], an amateur [[Pokémon watcher]], joins Ash during his Orange Archipelago journey, but leaves him on Ash's return to Pallet to become an assistant to Professor Oak, his hero. {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, rookie {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s, join Ash for the duration of the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, respectively; in these he mentors them much as Brock and Misty did him, while [[Max]], May's brother, who is too young to own Pokémon, looks up to Ash for the duration of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} travel with Ash in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. {{an|Clemont}}, his sister {{an|Bonnie}} and Ash's childhood friend {{an|Serena}} travel with Ash in the {{series|XY}}. Like Max, Bonnie is too young to own Pokémon, but cares for her brother's {{p|Dedenne}}.

The anime is produced in Japan, and airs on [[TV Tokyo]] nearly every Thursday at 7 PM, as it has since the [[EP038|Porygon incident]] was resolved. It aired on Tuesdays at the same time prior to this. Many fans consider the dialogue and events mentioned in the Japanese version to be the "true canon", while the various dubs are regarded to be overridden if something stated in them differs from something said in a Japanese episode.

In Japan, the anime is divided into five [[series]]: ''[[Original series|Pocket Monsters]]'', ''[[Advanced Generation series|Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation]]'', ''[[Diamond & Pearl series|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl]]'', ''[[Best Wishes series|Pocket Monsters Best Wishes]]'' and ''[[XY series|Pocket Monsters XY]]''. Outside of it, these five have always been further divided into [[season]]s spanning roughly 52 episodes, and currently {{cat|Anime seasons|numbering eighteen}}. This concept of a television season was first embraced by the Japanese source with the inclusion of an explicitly second season to ''Best Wishes''. The show is mainly aimed at children, and as such, mature topics such as death are not often brought up, though sometimes they appear in movies. Many Pokémon that are implied to be very violent or sinister in the games are also made to be much more friendly, where none (save {{MTR|Team Rocket's Meowth}}) are considered evil. There are generally some references meant for adults, though these are kept to a minimum especially outside of Japan.

==Movies==
{{main|Pokémon movie}}
Since 1998 in Japan, and since 1999 in the US, a Pokémon movie has been released annually, most often focusing on a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. These movies are almost always a large success in Japan, and remain at least somewhat successful in the US and other countries, having been aired on Cartoon Network as a special since [[M09|the ninth movie]], and having theatrical releases during the first five seasons.

The movies are not considered by all people to be canon to the show, with some preferring to think of them occurring in an alternate timeline. This theory comes from the fact that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not seem to be profoundly affected in the show by the events of the movies, which tend to have a lot of peril and drama. Others, however, see the movies as being akin to [[filler episode]]s, as none of their [[party|parties]] change, and no [[Gym Leader]]s are defeated nor {{pkmn|Contest}}s won. This is presumably the correct interpretation, as not only have most of the events of the movies been referenced at least peripherally in the show, but also, several of the events of even ''major'' episodes have been forgotten by the writers of later episodes.

==Trivia==
[[File:Serena_pink_hoodie.png|thumb|220px|{{an|Serena}} drawn with fingernails]]
* Animator [[Masaaki Iwane|Masāki Iwane]] 岩根正明 [[n:Masaaki Iwane: Pokémon anime originally slated for 18-month run|once stated]] that the series was originally slated for a 1½-year run, which corresponds approximately to the length of the [[Kanto]] region [[Pokémon: Indigo League|saga]] (had it not been delayed due to [[EP038|the Porygon incident]]). Due to its popularity during the run, however, the show was extended and continues to be one of the longest running video game-based anime series.
* During the early episodes of the {{series|original}}, Japanese text was seen quite frequently on signs and buildings as well as objects. This usually resulted in the English dubbed version (and thus, foreign dubs based on it) painting out the text or converting it to English.
** During the Johto saga, the animators used made-up symbols slightly similar to the Latin script instead of Japanese text, so it would be universal to all languages and would not have to be edited for the English localization.
** During the {{series|AG}} and {{series|DP}}, the animators used a new style of symbols that appear to be blocky letters without a resemblance to any alphabet. However, most of these were still edited out for the English dub until ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]''.
** During the {{series|BW}} and {{series|XY}}, a full writing system was specifically created for the anime. This language consists in three different fonts: a font used for titles, big signboards, etc; other font used as less remarkable text accompanying the title font; and other font used only occasionally as a minor text filler. Each font has 26 unique symbols, and each one of those symbols represent a letter from the modern Latin script. This text usually has meanings, as the symbols converted from the Latin script are written as romanized Japanese; sometimes its meanings are related to the context in which it is used, but sometimes the text contains hidden messages, like mentioning [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] in a magazine seen in [[BW001]].
* Fingernails were not consistently drawn on characters until the {{series|XY}}.

Pokémon the Series

Deltamon3: /* XY series */ updating episodes aired in both countries

[[File:Early anime film frame.png|thumb|230px|Early anime frame from [[EP093]]]]
The '''Pokémon {{wp|anime}}''', often referred to as just "the anime" by Pokémon fans, is a collective term referring to currently {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Original series episodes}} - 8 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Advanced Generation series episodes}} - 6 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Diamond & Pearl series episodes}} - 5 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Best Wishes series episodes}} - 4 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:XY series episodes}} - 2}} main series episodes, {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Movies}} - 2}} movies, and a number of side-story episodes, all focusing on [[Pokémon]]. The great majority of these focus on [[Ash Ketchum]], a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Pallet Town]], and his journey toward his ultimate goal of being a [[Pokémon Master]], {{ashfr|his many friends}}, and most especially his Pokémon, who he considers his partners and friends.

Though the anime is ultimately based upon the {{pkmn|games}} and draws heavily from them, many concepts which are only touched on the games are spun in a unique way, and expanded on.

The anime has been broadcasted in at least 74<ref>http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/10/12/pokemon_stats/</ref> {{cat|Pokémon around the world|different countries}}, many times being [[dub]]bed into other languages for different locales. [[The Pokémon Company International]] usually refers to the anime as the "Pokémon animated series" or "Pokémon television series", while some [[event Pokémon]] based on Pokémon from the anime have their location set as "Pokémon Cartoon" in the English version of the games.

==Overview==
From the [[EP001|very first episode]], Ash has been the central character, making his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master known to all he meets. Though initially, he only became a Pokémon Trainer with the goal of beating his rival, [[Gary Oak]], the many Pokémon Ash has met over his journey have shown him what being a Pokémon Master really is. Unlike most Trainers from Pallet, and indeed, unlike players of {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Ash did not start his journey with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, as he arrived late to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to receive his [[starter Pokémon]]. Instead, Ash was given the only Pokémon Oak had left to give, a {{AP|Pikachu}} that did not enjoy being inside its [[Poké Ball]], and from there Ash learned to treat his Pokémon as partners, earning Pikachu's trust by keeping it safe from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} he angered.

Since then, Ash has journeyed across all six of the regions that appear in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]], a region he visited before beginning his journey in [[Johto]] until it was closer in time to the real world release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. In each, he battles against the native [[Gym Leader]]s for their [[Badge]]s, as do Trainers in the core series games, to compete in the regional [[Pokémon League]], a [[Pokémon League Conference|championship tournament]], rather than five battles straight against the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}. While his initial strategy was to continue using the same party over the course of his {{pkmn|journey}}, letting some Pokémon go when they were required to do something or wanted to train, he has, since his journey in Hoenn, changed strategy, and now uses only those Pokémon which he has caught in the region, alongside Pikachu, to battle against Gym Leaders, with his explanation to Dawn being that he wants to prove to the young, unevolved Pokémon he meets in each new region that ''they'' can win if they try.

Over the course of the series, Ash has had several {{AP|friends}} who travel with him, typically across one region, who assist him in his journey as much as he assists in theirs. {{an|Misty}}, the Gym Leader from [[Cerulean City]] in the games, joins him in the [[original series]], as does {{an|Brock}}, [[Pewter City]]'s Gym Leader, in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. [[Tracey Sketchit]], an amateur [[Pokémon watcher]], joins Ash during his Orange Archipelago journey, but leaves him on Ash's return to Pallet to become an assistant to Professor Oak, his hero. {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, rookie {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s, join Ash for the duration of the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, respectively; in these he mentors them much as Brock and Misty did him, while [[Max]], May's brother, who is too young to own Pokémon, looks up to Ash for the duration of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} travel with Ash in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. {{an|Clemont}}, his sister {{an|Bonnie}} and Ash's childhood friend {{an|Serena}} travel with Ash in the {{series|XY}}. Like Max, Bonnie is too young to own Pokémon, but cares for her brother's {{p|Dedenne}}.

The anime is produced in Japan, and airs on [[TV Tokyo]] nearly every Thursday at 7 PM, as it has since the [[EP038|Porygon incident]] was resolved. It aired on Tuesdays at the same time prior to this. Many fans consider the dialogue and events mentioned in the Japanese version to be the "true canon", while the various dubs are regarded to be overridden if something stated in them differs from something said in a Japanese episode.

In Japan, the anime is divided into five [[series]]: ''[[Original series|Pocket Monsters]]'', ''[[Advanced Generation series|Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation]]'', ''[[Diamond & Pearl series|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl]]'', ''[[Best Wishes series|Pocket Monsters Best Wishes]]'' and ''[[XY series|Pocket Monsters XY]]''. Outside of it, these five have always been further divided into [[season]]s spanning roughly 52 episodes, and currently {{cat|Anime seasons|numbering eighteen}}. This concept of a television season was first embraced by the Japanese source with the inclusion of an explicitly second season to ''Best Wishes''. The show is mainly aimed at children, and as such, mature topics such as death are not often brought up, though sometimes they appear in movies. Many Pokémon that are implied to be very violent or sinister in the games are also made to be much more friendly, where none (save {{MTR|Team Rocket's Meowth}}) are considered evil. There are generally some references meant for adults, though these are kept to a minimum especially outside of Japan.

==Movies==
{{main|Pokémon movie}}
Since 1998 in Japan, and since 1999 in the US, a Pokémon movie has been released annually, most often focusing on a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. These movies are almost always a large success in Japan, and remain at least somewhat successful in the US and other countries, having been aired on Cartoon Network as a special since [[M09|the ninth movie]], and having theatrical releases during the first five seasons.

The movies are not considered by all people to be canon to the show, with some preferring to think of them occurring in an alternate timeline. This theory comes from the fact that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not seem to be profoundly affected in the show by the events of the movies, which tend to have a lot of peril and drama. Others, however, see the movies as being akin to [[filler episode]]s, as none of their [[party|parties]] change, and no [[Gym Leader]]s are defeated nor {{pkmn|Contest}}s won. This is presumably the correct interpretation, as not only have most of the events of the movies been referenced at least peripherally in the show, but also, several of the events of even ''major'' episodes have been forgotten by the writers of later episodes.

==Trivia==
[[File:Serena_pink_hoodie.png|thumb|220px|{{an|Serena}} drawn with fingernails]]
* Animator [[Masaaki Iwane|Masāki Iwane]] 岩根正明 [[n:Masaaki Iwane: Pokémon anime originally slated for 18-month run|once stated]] that the series was originally slated for a 1½-year run, which corresponds approximately to the length of the [[Kanto]] region [[Pokémon: Indigo League|saga]] (had it not been delayed due to [[EP038|the Porygon incident]]). Due to its popularity during the run, however, the show was extended and continues to be one of the longest running video game-based anime series.
* During the early episodes of the {{series|original}}, Japanese text was seen quite frequently on signs and buildings as well as objects. This usually resulted in the English dubbed version (and thus, foreign dubs based on it) painting out the text or converting it to English.
** During the Johto saga, the animators used made-up symbols slightly similar to the Latin script instead of Japanese text, so it would be universal to all languages and would not have to be edited for the English localization.
** During the {{series|AG}} and {{series|DP}}, the animators used a new style of symbols that appear to be blocky letters without a resemblance to any alphabet. However, most of these were still edited out for the English dub until ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]''.
** During the {{series|BW}} and {{series|XY}}, a full writing system was specifically created for the anime. This language consists in three different fonts: a font used for titles, big signboards, etc; other font used as less remarkable text accompanying the title font; and other font used only occasionally as a minor text filler. Each font has 26 unique symbols, and each one of those symbols represent a letter from the modern Latin script. This text usually has meanings, as the symbols converted from the Latin script are written as romanized Japanese; sometimes its meanings are related to the context in which it is used, but sometimes the text contains hidden messages, like mentioning [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] in a magazine seen in [[BW001]].
* Fingernails were not consistently drawn on characters until the {{series|XY}}.

'''Lyra''' (Japanese: '''コトネ''' ''Kotone'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Lyra takes over the role from {{ga|Kris}} in {{game|Crystal}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Ethan}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===When not selected as the player character===
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Ethan Lyra.png|thumb|left|200px|Lyra speaking with {{ga|Ethan}}]]
If {{ga|Ethan}} is selected to be the player character, Lyra meets him in [[New Bark Town]] at the start of the game. In this particular scene, she is seen with a {{TP|Lyra|Marill}}. Her role in the storyline of HeartGold and SoulSilver is similar to that of {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if they are not chosen as the player character, while Ethan takes this place if she is selected as the player. She teaches the player how to catch Pokémon on {{rt|29|Johto}} (replacing the [[Dude]] from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}).

While playing as Ethan, her grandparents run the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}. She also gives the player the [[Fashion Case]] in [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] and the [[Vs. Recorder]] on {{rt|31|Johto}}. Naturally, this role is given to Ethan if she is the player character.

When called from certain locations, Lyra will mention that something will happen if the player takes a certain Pokémon there.

==Counterparts==
[[File:Lyra GGP.png|thumb|200px|left|Lyra in Pocket Monsters HeartGold & SoulSilver Go! Go! Pokéathlon]]
[[File:Lyra anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Lyra's anime counterpart]]
===In the anime===
{{main|Lyra (anime)}}
Shortly after the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, an {{an|Lyra|anime counterpart}} of Lyra appeared in the episodes from ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' to ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''. Much as with {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, she shares both her English and Japanese names with the player character she is based on.

===In the manga===
====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
Although Lyra doesn't appear separately in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{adv|Crystal}} essentially serves as counterpart by wearing her {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} outfit in the arc thanks to her mom forcing her to wear it against her will.

====In the Pocket Monsters HeartGold & SoulSilver Go! Go! Pokéathlon manga====
Lyra appeared in [[Pocket Monsters HeartGold & SoulSilver Go! Go! Pokéathlon]]. None of her Pokémon are known.

==Trivia==
* Before her official name was revealed, many fans referred to her as '''Soul''' (Japanese: '''ソウル''' ''Soul''), based on [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Pokémon SoulSilver]], in similar style to {{ga|Leaf}}.
* Lyra is {{tt|4'11"|1.52 m}} tall and weighs {{tt|90.4 lbs|41 kg}}.
** Strangely, this would make Lyra as tall as a {{p|Dunsparce}}.
* While some fans assume that {{ga|Kris}} and Lyra are one and the same, [[Takao Unno]] revealed in an interview that he designed Lyra from scratch.
* Lyra shares many of her Japanese default names with {{ga|Leaf}} and {{ga|Dawn}}. She also shares all of {{ga|Kris}}'s default Japanese names.
* Occasionally, Lyra will call and claim that her {{p|Marill}} evolved into {{p|Azumarill}}. Upon meeting her again, however, she will still have a Marill. This mix-up is due to a translation error: In the Japanese version, she talks of how she would be surprised ''if'' she were to turn around on a whim while walking about and find her Marill in the process of evolving, or having evolved, into an Azumarill. She follows that thought up with: "But that would never happen!"
* Lyra is the only player character to not have her own individual cross-canon counterpart from Pokémon Adventures, instead sharing hers with Kris.

==Names==
Like her Japanese name, Lyra's international names are all derived from musical instruments.

==thank you==
Thank you for the kind greetings. I came and joined this wiki comunity to help with the "Pokemon + Nobunagas Ambition" game. I am a huge fan of KOEI and their games, and while i dont know much about pokemon outside the cartoons, i thought i could help by proving information regarding the human characters in the upcoming crossover game

I hope i can be of service [[User:Ixbran|Ixbran]] 07:35, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

==I have a question==
First of all thank you for the nice greeting, I apreciate it.
Also I noticed that on your page it said your favorite Pokemon was Evee. I would like to add my favorite Pokemon (Chandelure) to my page, how can I do that?
[[User:Chandelure1166|Carson]] 07:15, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
:You're welcome! Do you mean the little tag on my page? First you have to make some edits to the mainspace, so you can gain the ability to create and edit your userpage. Don't ask me how many, I don't know. Once you can do that, add <code><nowiki>{{Template:User Favorite|609|Chandelure}}</nowiki></code> to your page. For more information, look {{bp|Usertag|here}}. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 07:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

==Thank you==
Yes, the tag is very nice, and thanks for letting me know!
[[User:Chandelure1166|Carson]] 07:49, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

==I can't find the mainspace==
Sorry if I am bothering you, but I am new to Bulbapedia. Is there a link somwhere?
[[User:Chandelure1166|Carson]] 08:02, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
:You're not bothering me at all. "Mainspace" refers to most Bulbapedia pages that don't start with "talk:" or "user:". For example, the edit you made to {{p|Axew}}'s article counts as a mainspace edit. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 08:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
==it still will not let me edit my userpage==
By the way I'm glad i'm not bothering you, I don't like to do that to people
[[User:Chandelure1166|Carson]] 08:22, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
:You'll need to make several mainspace edits before you are able to edit your userpage. I don't know the exact number, but it is several. By the way, you don't need to create a new header every time you add to a talkpage. You can just click the "edit" button next to the header where the conversation started. You really only need to make a new header when starting a new conversation. {{unsigned|Crystal Talian}}
:Thanks, I will go make some edits now.
Also I was making a new header every time becuase I didn't know how to reply at that time
[[User:Chandelure1166|Chandelure1166]] 08:39, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
::No problem! And I figured it was something like that. I was just letting you know. =3 [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 08:43, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

==Can you help me?==
Hello Crystal! I don't know If you remember me cause I joined maybe four months ago or longer but I was one of the users you welcomed. Since bulbapedia is so big and I'm a sotr of new user, I'm not exactly sure what to edit (I actually joined just to help with the tyrouge page due to the fact where tyrouge was wasn't completely said). So I was sort of wondering if you possibly have a simple easy task I could do to help out the wiki?
--[[User:Minor Notes|Minor Notes]] 23:00, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

==Just one last question==
Hello, Crystal! Thanks for the suggestion of what to do. I just have one last question: for the trainer classes would it be possible to put a appearance section? I mostly noticed appearance is basically only used for pokemon and not for the human characters but I looked at another stub for a trainer class and it listed a appearance for both characters but it was in the section where game information was usually located. Well thanks for your help, bye!

== Urgent ==

Hello Crystal Talian, please check your e-mail{{tt|*|the one which you used to register on Bulbapedia}} as soon as possible, awaiting for your reply. Thank you. ♫♪ [[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']] ♪♫ 10:47, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

== Signature move ==

Where is the problem? KyleRGiggs 09:01, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
:Wait until Force Fire replies to your question before reverting him. However, I believe the problem is that this is a move tutor move. It wasn't that only Blastoise could learn, but that the tutor refused to teach it to anyone else. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 09:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
::I am not reverting him actually, please check what I revert. KyleRGiggs 09:13, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
:::Hitting "undo" is reverting. I did check before I said anything. However, the issue appears to have been resolved now. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 09:18, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

== Using templates ==

:I thought I did? I didn't copy the code, at least. I wasn't sure what the what the template code was, so I mimicked the way you call a welcome template. I guess the "subst" was unnecessary. Ah, well. Noted. Thank you. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 21:39, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
::Subst is only used for Welcome  template. :) All other templates do not use subst. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 21:40, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
:::Got it. I'll be sure to remember for next time. Thanks! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 21:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
::::Sorry to butt in but, subst is usually used for message templates like <nowiki>{{subst:Userspace warning}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{subst:Preview button}}</nowiki>, not just for <nowiki>{{subst:Welcome}}</nowiki>. I beleive that subst is what signs those automatic message templates for you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 23:12, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, I mentioned that. It's hidden, haha, but yeah, what Pokemaster97 said is true. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 23:32, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

== Then Let's Bring it Up With Staff ==

To the uneducated reader who knows nothing about Pokémon and is trying to decide which game to buy as their first, such entries as the one I attempted to correct can be very misleading. Anyone looking at the Butterfree or Metapod articles can easily see at the top of the article that it evolves from Caterpie, but cannot catch it in Black; however, the text in cases like Metapod suggests that a player who wants a Butterfree HAS to play White, and cannot trade the Pokémon from Black, thus requiring a player who wants to catch Reshiram (that was my deciding factor, I wanted the white legendary) to purchase White instead. This is completely misleading to an uneducated reader, and it is wrong to assume that everyone will understand that you can still evolve it in Black. After all, clicking a Caterpie link from Metapod's page already shows you can only catch Caterpie in White.

This is a task I'm willing to undertake myself as well, I'm just trying to establish a correct precedent. The existing one is entirely flawed. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:04, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
:I understand your concern, and I agree that it is a good point. The next time I have the chance to talk with staff, I will bring up your point, and we will let you know when a decision is made on the subject. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 01:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

::Fair enough. Give me a heads-up on my talk page when that occurs; I constantly refer back to things here more often than anywhere else, so I'll see it. Let the staff know I'm willing to take this on myself as well, and if I do make an odd mistake somewhere, they're welcome to clean up after me where necessary. Hopefully that won't happen very often. =D [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:14, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
== thanks for the warm welcome ==
i wanted to thank you for welcoming me and i was wondering how to put those "this user ----" on my page and where to find them [[User:Maggiedroid|Maggiedroid]] ([[User talk:Maggiedroid|talk]]) 04:59, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
:First, you're welcome. =3 And do you mean the usertags? Well, first you need to do some editing so you can start your own userpage. Don't ask me how many edits you need to do, it's a hidden number. Anyway, once you do that, you can look {{bp|Usertag|here}} for information on usertags. Have fun! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 06:06, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

== Name Translations ==

Hey Crystal Talian, I just saw your message and I just wanted to say, first, sorry about that, I'm not fluent in Japanese, and I was looking for something to edit, and I thought that I could do that by translating something from English to Japanese; second, that I didn't really know how the translations worked, which is why I translated the English names back into Japanese; and third, I don't own a Japanese copy of a Hoenn-based game (As I live in the US, and it's realtively hard to get one in and around where I live).The next time I edit a page on Bulbapedia, and any other site for that matter, I'll make sure I know what I'm doing before I start editing. I'll also make sure that the next I edit a page on the site, I'll make sure it will be not only tested personally, but also that it follows the conduct of Bulbapedia and that if it deals with another language that I'm not fluent in, I promise that I won't translate on this site until one of the following is true:
A) I'm fluent in that language (I'm currently fluent in only English, but I'm working on becoming fluent in German)
B) I use an offical site to translate (i.e. a govt. website)
or
C) If I'm thinking about editing, one of the above is true

I'll become fluent in any language, if needed. I am actually thinking about becoming fluent in Japanese, amongst a few other languages. One final thing, I wasn't really thinking about how the translating worked, especially with languages like English and Japanese, which have little to no connection. If you (Or another Bulbapedia staf member) have any problem with anything I edit, like this one, just feel free to edit that page back and tell me. Thanks for pointing that out, and telling me about how translating generally works. Thanks! [[User Talk:Grayglove|Grayglove]]
==A little help, please==
I have been creating battlefield sections for the kingdoms of Pokémon Conquest and would like to create a battlefield page. It looks like I now have the right to create pages, so could you please tell me a bit about creating them? Sorry to bother you. The editing help doesn't help. LOL! Either way, I would really appreciate it if you helped me out. [[User:Eeveewithwings123|Eeveewithwings123]] ([[User talk:Eeveewithwings123|talk]]) 21:50, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
:You're not bothering me at all. As far as getting a page started, all you have to do is run a search for the title of the page you want to make, and click the link to create the page. As far as the content for that page, I suggest you look over the other Conquest pages and how they are written and set up, and then maybe go over the {{bp|manual of style}}. Other than that, just go with your instincts. Good luck and have fun! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 03:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Umm... I've been too busy to do the page yet (and a bit scared, I know it's stupid to worry about it, I'm just not that good at codes and all), but what would you use for a suffix to show that the article is for the conquest games and not any others? Thanks in advance!--[[User:Eeveewithwings123|Eeveewithwings123]] ([[User talk:Eeveewithwings123|talk]]) 16:01, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
:Since we don't have any other battlefield pages, a suffix isn't needed to distinguish it. But if you're wanting to make a different page that will need a distinction, the suffix would be (Conquest). I don't think it would be needed for any pages at the moment, though. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 00:28, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I've suddenly lost my ability to create pages... Why? [[User:Eeveewithwings123|Eeveewithwings123]] ([[User talk:Eeveewithwings123|talk]]) 14:24, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
:Can you tell me what the name of the page you're trying to create is? And what message it gives you when you try to create a page? You may be trying to create a page under a protected namespace. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 07:11, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

==A question==
Hello Crystal! I have a question and I thought you would probably be able to answer it. Can any user, including the ones that are admins or higher, use obscenities on their user pages? I was just sort of wondering since I found this bureaucrat, [[User:Darkeiya]], using a obscenity in a user box and that confused me since I thought Bulbapedia had rules against that.If you could answer my question I would greatly appreciate it. [[User:Minor Notes|Minor Notes]] ([[User talk:Minor Notes|talk]]) 03:51, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
:There are rules against it in mainspace articles. However, so long as it is within reason and not specifically directed at a person (or group of people), its allowed on userpages and talkpages. So long as it is not excessive, it's nothing to worry about. Thank you for your concern, though. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:35, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Thankyou for answering my question. The obscenity is directed at a villian in the game so does that change it or is it just different if it is directed at a living person?[[User:Minor Notes|Minor Notes]] ([[User talk:Minor Notes|talk]]) 16:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
:Only a living person, as it would then be against the Code of Conduct. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 03:51, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for answering my question yet again. Now take for instance the God the Christians believe is real and say that some one uses a obscenity and directs it at that God, would that have to be taken down since Christians believe He is real or would it simply be ignored since not everyone believes He is real?[[User:Minor Notes|Minor Notes]] ([[User talk:Minor Notes|talk]]) 23:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
:That would be offensive to a particular group of people, so that would not be allowed. To put it simply, swearing is okay in the userspace and talkpages so long as it is not offensive to a person or persons. So, if someone is swearing at at game, a game character, or nothing in particular, then that is fine. On the other hand, if someone is directing that obscenity at a person, people, entity, or concept that insults or offends someone, it would not be allowed. If you think that something you want to say might offend someone, then don't say it. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:44, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your help Crystal! I thought by leaving you a message you might get back to me the next month (since I have had dreadful experiences on talk pages for articles and I thought this would be the same) but I was very surprised that you got back to me in less then a day. Thank you so much for answering my questions but I'm afraid I've got another one (I believe this one will be my last). Now say for instance a user takes a word that is less then a obscenity but is in the same category and then put the word God in front of it and then uses that word to insult themselves. Would that be allowed because they were insulting themselves or would that be not allowed for they would be insulting both God and themselves? I was wondering about that after seeing a [[User:TTEchidna|user]] do that exact thing.[[User:Minor Notes|Minor Notes]] ([[User talk:Minor Notes|talk]]) 23:45, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
:I really can't run through every possible scenario. The main thing is to avoid offending people. If you think you're going to offend someone, just don't say it. If you're worried about something someone else said, staff will get to it if it is a problem (and if the user hasn't already been banned). Bulbapedia does not discriminate against any race, religion, or ethnic background. If someone is openly expressing discretions against these groups they will be blocked indefinitely whether they use swear words or not. In the case of the provided situation, it would not be allowed as it may offend some people. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 00:45, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

== Moving Sections ==

Crystal i am new and i made a new section on a page and how do i move it to a new place([[User:Icestar649|Icestar649]] ([[User talk:Icestar649|talk]]) 22:22, 19 December 2012 (UTC))
:Hello. First, please add new talkpage comments to the bottom of the page. I've moved this comment for you. To move the section you created, all you need to do is copy-paste it to the area of the page where you want to be (make sure you delete it from the original area so it isn't on the page twice). However, I would suggest simply putting the section in the correct area of the page to begin with. To bring up the whole page for editing, just click the "edit this page" tab at the top of page and add the new section where it needs to be. I went ahead and looked over the section you added, and removed it as it was not the right style for this website. Please work your grammar and do not use "you" when writing for articles here. I would suggest that you look over the {{bp|manual of style}}, it'll help you out with some of the basics of editing here.

== Article about Misty's Gyarados ==

Hello, im bringing this up because way article about Gyarados was written brings confusion among fans making it seem like things are based on assumptions rather than actual proof itself. Its listed on main page as Misty pokemon, but in article about Gyarados way its worded make it seem like its gym pokemon. Which many fans find confusing judging by comments you can read online.

Since going by canon and what was showed in anime from moment Misty earned its trust Gyarados was showed to be used and trained only by her. One of proof to this was revealed in episode "Togepi Mirage" when Misty stated how she trained Gyarados teaching it flamethrower. Like its been already brought up in article Gyarados seem to establish special bond with Misty , bond we never saw existing between him and Daisy, Violet or LIly. Before MIsty returned to gym earning its respect it was also showed how he didn't listened to anyone being out of control, until Misty intervened choosing to be her partner and nothing afterwards indicate how anyone else beside Misty use him befriending it.

Which is one of basic ways trainers acquire new pokemon.Otherwise if we are going to count only captured pokemon as ones which belong to someone, than same logic could be applied to Dawn Togekiss or Brock Onix which they received as gifts from others. Or all befriended pokemon others acquired on travels.
In comparison all Brock pokemon are currently at gym, but that doesn't mean they belong to gym and new gym leader Forest.

Gyarados may be gym pokemon before(even though in canon such thing has never been stated), but that doesn't necessarily mean it still belongs to gym with canon treating it more as Misty's than gym pokemon. There are plenty other gym pokemon like Dewgong, Shelder, Goldeen etc but we don't see Misty taking them with her outside the gym, nor she was ever showed to be using them.Let alone being listed as her pokemon.
Only Gyarados is being taken with her whenever she leaves gym being treated in similar manner like Corsola, Staryu and other pokemon which belong to her are.It was also showed how she is the only one training it, learning flamethrower in process.
Likewise on every site whether its SPPF, or some Japanese poke site Gyarados is listed as one of Misty pokemon with only bulbapedia causing confusion listing it at same time both as Misty and gym pokemon?

Therefore i believe judging by what canon showed so far it would be more accurate to classify Gyarados as Misty rather than gym pokemon since unlike its case with other pokemon we reliably know belong to Cerulean, Gyarados is another story bring showed to have special bond only with Misty listening, training and being taken with her whenever she leaves gym. For all aforementioned reasons wouldn't it be more authentic to say how Gyarados is pokemon Misty befriended, since its treated basically like every pokemon which belongs to Misty? --[[User:Pokemon fan 132|Pokemon fan 132]] ([[User talk:Pokemon fan 132|talk]]) 08:46, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

== Move trivia ==

I don't think that "the only non-X-type Pokémon that can learn the move" trivia should be on the move pages, since you can see it easily just by looking at the move lists (which is why sprite trivia isn't allowed). For example, when you read the {{m|Poison Gas}} page, you'll notice immediately that Drowzee and Hypno are the only Psychic types without having to read the trivia section.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
:I considered that, but it really doesn't belong on Pokémon species pages either. Being the only one not of a type to learn it is potentially notable, but the major question is where to put it. It is easily visible on the move pages, but it's not really relevant on the species pages since it's more about the move than the Pokémon. I will look into the best place to put them tonight. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 22:09, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
::I'm also dumbfounded as to why you reverted my edits. In my opinion, all those reversions and pseudo-reversions of yours should be reverted, as the trivia does not belong in the move articles (see my talk page), and if it is notable, then of course the species articles are the appropriate locations. Really can't follow the logic in the argument that the content is not relevant for the species articles. How is it not? I'd even say it's more about the Pokémon than the move. Do you think that the fact that Bagon and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-Fire-type Pokémon to learn Ember says more about Ember than the Pokémon? I don't. I'd appreciate it if you could just undo your brash actions, disregarding any face-saving that could be gained from arguing and making this "major question" more complicated than it has to be; there are two location options, one is inapproriate due to being beyond redundant, the other is not - species articles if notable, nowhere if not notable. That was the conclusion I reached when editing, reflected in my edit summaries, so if you want to oppose that, at least make up your mind before reverting. Also, it appears your reversions are made without regard to my grammar-fixes (compare your restored Flame Wheel (move) to what you removed from Rattata (Pokémon)), which is, you know, counterproductive.

== Regarding Mew's name origin ==

According to Webster's Universal English Thesaurus:

:::: "Mew" is more often used in reference to birds moulting. Is that an example of your own, or one from another website? Because my research indicates that it only used to indicate a change in birds. An example from the Oxford dictionary: "the {{tt|eyasses|young hawks}} clung dully to their leashes as if they were mewing", referring to hawks in moult. The definition "to confine" is also primary used in reference to birds used for hawking. This has nothing to do with the Pokémon Mew.

== Reversion of Special abilities section initiative ==

I expected that edit to be reverted in a flash due to not being protocol or whatever, so here goes the discussion. Your comment: "''I am aware other pages do this, but this not meant to be a list of moves learned (even rare ones) we try to limit this only to signature moves.''" I am not aware other pages do this, which pages do this? Of course it's not meant to be a list of moves learned, those are in the Learnset sections, what are you getting at? Summarizing which "rare" moves the various species can learn by leveling up, in their Special abilities sections, was clearly my intention, and if I may say so, an almost objective improvement of these sections, spot on in terms of subject matter. Full implementation would of course wait until a threshold has been decided and Generation VI has been launched. Instead of telling me that it's not protocol, and you prefer to only include "signature moves", why don't you explain why you think my initiative is not a good idea, which will improve these sections? Or in case you're not acting out of direct disagreement, refer me to whoever it is you think you're pleasing by reverting this initiative of mine. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 08:02, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
:Many pages provide a list of "notable" or rarely learned moves. As for which pages, pretty much every Pokemon species page we have. {{p|Bulbasaur}} alone is a good example of what I mean. The problem here is that we do not want ''any moves'' other than signature moves or previously signature moves listed in a Pokemon's biology section. The reason they have not been removed yet is because of an upcoming change in the biology section. It'll be easier to make the changes together instead of making many individual edits. I actually did not remove your edit due to any protocol regarding changes. Although, as I have told you before, any change that will affect or be implented on a large number of pages should be discussed before it is implemented anywhere. New ideas should not be tested in the mainspace. Mainspace testing creates large inconsistencies across pages, as well as a couple of other problems. Please, if you have an idea for a change, bring it up with staff first or test it in your userpace. Thanks. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 12:20, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
::The Bulbasaur article lists 13 moves, and uses colorful language. By my method, using a threshold, only 1 move (i.e. Seed Bomb (Bulbasaur does not learn Power Whip or Bullet Seed by leveling up)) would be listed, and it would not be presented in colorful language. As such, I think that is a horrible example, and focusing on these supposed similar instances in your reply derails the discussion - I don't know of any, so they played no role in my editing. You say that you (we) do not want any moves other than "signature moves" listed, but I asked you to explain this opinion, not repeat it. And I don't see how this initiative has to interfere with these "upcoming changes", which I have no idea what are about, as you ignored to elaborate on them back in April at my talk page, section "Examples in the Mainspace". It's not really testing, neither was the Tynamo edit, which you similarly reprimanded me on back in April; they're single edits, improving the encyclopedic article, breaking no rules whatsoever, not forcing other articles to follow suit, and even easy to revert. You're telling me to bring it up with staff first, and at the same time, you (a member of staff) refuse to actually discuss this initiative upon my invitation, right here.

:::A Pokemon's moveset has nothing to do with its special abilities. If more than one Pokemon can learn a move ''by any means at all'', then it is not special to that Pokemon. This is why we would ideally like to include only signature or previously signature moves. They are unique and therefore "special" to that particular Pokemon. "Single" mainspace edits such as your Tynamo and Munna edits are not actually singular. They set a standard. If we note something or display something on one page, we must be consistent and do it on all similar pages. So when you, or anyone else, adds references (as in the Tynamo edit) or set a certain standard (such as Munna) then all similar pages should do the same for consistency. Not to do so is unprofessional and, frankly, sloppy looking. If you wish to discuss topics like this more thoroughly, then you should create a topic on the Pokemon's or on the Pokedex Projects talkpages where it's easier for more members (and staff) to respond to it, rather than relying on my input alone.

::::That's quite the bold statement; that the moves (manifestations of the powers a Pokémon possesses) a Pokémon is programmed to learn by leveling up (the most specific, direct manner of "distribution") "has nothing to do with its special abilities". The remainder of your argument hinges on equaling "special" with "unique"...may I suggest changing the section title in case that's the intended definition of the word? The can't-be-more-than-1-out-of-all-instances-argument, while often highly relevant, is not applicable to everything; you're dealing with more than 600 instances (similarities are bound to occur), and the information being cut due to enforcing this argument is not some new trivia point or whatever, but information concerning the exact subject matter of the target section. I still disagree regarding those two edit examples. They may set a standard, but that's not what constitutes the problem. What matters is whether that standard is an improvement to the site or not; if it is, consistency will eventually come around. Clearly, you wouldn't remove something good just because it makes the remaining articles look "sloppy"; you obviously remove the content because you find it adverse. This would be fine if you actually addressed/discussed the proposed idea, but your lack of involvement has been plainly obvious from this exchange. And that is unfortunate, so yes, if my ideas are to be dismissed, I would prefer "discussing them more thoroughly". With uninvolved, reverting patrollers like you around, I suppose there's no other way than proposing ideas via discussion pages, drawing from userspace page examples.

Why are you removing most of the biology subsections like Habitat for all the Pokemon.

Removing it is a bad move. {{unsigned|Xx dan xx}}
:If you've [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia:Messages_from_the_Editor#August_14 read the message from the editor] on the main page, you would know why. The staff has decided to condense and rewrite the biology section into one section as it was really all over the place. The habitat is still there, just combined into one paragraph with all the other things, the only habitat related thing removed were the habitat icons as they only apply to 365/649 Pokémon. And please don't insult a staff member, saying that they're removing things like an idiot goes against the code of conduct.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:16, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

== Shellder Biology and Biology for forme changing Pokémon ==

How are we suppose to go about bringing the biology of Pokémon with multiple formes up to code? Shellder has three different shells, two of which due to a parasitic relationship with Slowpoke.

[[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 02:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
:Pokemon like Kami trio will need a paragraph or so describing their separate forms. This can be done similar to how the Mega Evolutions were handled on {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Ampharos}}'s pages. Shellder can be handled in the same way. Since the {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Slowking}} forms are so similar, a single paragraph should be plenty to describe both.

==Biology Content==
I've been adding Pokédex info to Biology sections of Pokémon [[Butterfree_(Pokémon)#Biology|such as Butterfree's]] ever since the new format was introduced. I assumed Biology would be split into 2 or 3 paragraphs: one of its physical description, another of its Pokédex data, and another of other data (anime-specific abilities, such as Bulbasaur's Bulba-by, etc). Unfortunately, we were never given a specific structure with which to write Biologies. Our only reference is [[Bulbasaur_(Pokémon)#Biology|Bulbasaur]], whose Biology is structured as: physical description with some Pokédex info, anime-exclusive info, habitat and even more anime info. That list of data is clunky, inconsistent, and mixes anime canon with game canon.

It needs to be restructured. Too little source material (Pokédex) is shown, but info that is canon in only one media (the anime) is ever-present. It needs to be explicitly stated when info comes from anything other than the games. I chose to bug you about this since you seem the most active with this new little project. Thank you for giving attention to this. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWanna]]BeThe[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|VeryBest]] 14:04, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
:The goal with the biology rewrite is to form cohesive, flowing paragraphs that are a culmination of all the biological information that we know and can confirm. Placement of the information should be based on the information itself, not its source. For example, if the anime reveals a special ability, that information should go in a paragraph about special abilities. If this means putting something from the anime in a paragraph mainly consisting of game data, then that's fine. When we say it needs to be clear where the information comes from, we are referring to the reference links. These links are used to confirm the validity of the statement, not to divide canons.

:As for how many paragraphs and on what topic each Pokemon gets, that's going to depend entirely on the Pokemon. Some Pokemon have a lot of available information, whereas as others do not. In ''general'', each Pokemon should have a paragraph on anatomy and/or physiology and a paragraph on abilities or other available data. However, some Pokemon have very little information and both of these topics can be combined into a single paragraph. Others will require more paragraphs covering other topics because we know more about them. It has to be done on a case by case basis.

:Bulbasaur in particular has been looked over by a number of staff members, and it has been agreed that it is fine the way it is written now. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 00:47, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

:For one thing, we shouldn't encourage misspellings. If it had been misspelled in an official source, I'd say fine. But if the only place was a leak on fansite, I really don't think it's necessary at all. Yes, it's one letter off from the official spelling, I realize that.

::::I am well aware of the discussion that have been going on. And Pumpkinking, yes, people will misspell it regardless.

Meowstick has been in circulation as the name of a pokémon since May (6,760 Google results), but since this a fan name and ''not'' a common misspelling (unlike Ninetails and Ratata, which people still get iffy over even years after their release), it falls under the rules of "Smugleaf": not unless an official publication used it.

== "More than one is not notable" ==

... Last time I checked, it was. Before T-tar gained a weakness we had trivia on the pages of all Grass/Psychic and Ice/Grass Pokémon stating they were part of a small group of Pokémon with seven weaknesses, which even today is the most weaknesses any Pokémon can have. Clawitzer and Lucario are the only two Pokémon capable of learning all the pulse/wave/whatever moves, so it's more exclusive than the seven weaknesses club and therefore notable. --[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 13:03, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

The species names trivia are saying "these Pokemon have this in common", which is different from "these Pokemon are unlike others". In any case, if the species name trivia is ruled unnotable, be aware that there are dozens (perhaps over a hundred?) pages that you're gonna need to remove it from, since it's already on all Pokemon articles that have species names in common with other Pokemon.

:::Just my two cents after reviewing the pieces in question, I believe they're both notable pieces of trivia. If a species shares a species name with other Pokémon, then it's okay if that has more than one, because it's still a unique trait that only a small selection of Pokémon share. As for the base stat trivia, it mentions how it's a similarity between the two Pokémon families, but it doesn't contradict the statement of the trivia point.

== Proper referencing to Pop culture ==

Hi,
I would to know the reference guide to referencing pop culture.
I ask this because it's quite obvious some Pokemon are referencing not only Pop culture, but media in general.
For example, Zoroark and some bat pokemon have references to Hollywood monsters. But these monsters are not copyrighted and are of common knowledge.
In Starmie's case, they are a reference to weird alien invaders. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StarfishAliens)
Particularly, a reference to Starro,villain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starro). This villain is space starfish that has mind control. Starmie is associated with space and has the psychic typing. This is not a concidence-it's a shoutout from the designers. {{unsigned|ZoroFan}}
:"Shout-out"s to specific pop culture characters without confirmation are completely subjective. Unless the designer's say "we were specifically referencing this character", then we cannot put in the origins sections. Sometimes a very, very general statement about themes commonly seen in pop culture are okay, but never a specific character or series. I don't see this as a valid reference in the case of Starmie. Coincidences can and do happen very often, and that's what many of these cases are considered to be unless they can be ''proven'' otherwise. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 22:13, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, this is about my [[Salamence]] edits. I figure it's close enough to the above in subject that I could use the same header.

I don't mean to attack/inconvenience you by arguing about it, I just feel strongly.
As someone who struggled to understand what Salamence could be based on before first seeing the character in question, I feel that it has a place in the origins section. The only reason why I continue to try to get it in the article is because I assumed obvious references were alright to put in this section when I read the Tyranitar article.

Has it been stated that [[Tyranitar]] is based on Godzilla? Because according to its Bulbapedia entry, it "seems to be" based on Godzilla, with no citation.
This has been allowed to stay in the article because
:A. someone neglected to cite an interview stating it's based on Godzilla.
:B. no one who takes the (entirely justified, that's not the issue I have) policy of avoiding including pop culture references as possible origins seriously has seen it yet.
:C. it's common knowledge.
In cases A. and B., this information has no place in the Tyranitar article.
In case C., I have a leg to stand on when arguing that my edit belonged in the article.

Again, I don't mean to give you a hard time. I'm not bringing this up to get the reference to Godzilla deleted because my own edit didn't fly, I'm doing it to fully understand Bulbapedia's policy. --'''cuckooshrike''' 03:03, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
:Tyranitar's okay because it's directly referenced in its Japanese name: "Bangiras may be a combination of 野蛮 yaban (savage) or 蛮 ban (barbarian) and 嫌い kirai (hate). Giras may derive from Gojira, the Japanese name for Godzilla". I do, however, see your point. I will bring it up to the rest of staff. If its agreed that your basis is okay, I will add it to the article. If it is not agreed, the article will stay the way it is. However, I don't think we can go on a mere resemblance to a character - as that's something that very heavily depends on the person viewing. For example, to me it just looks like Salamance and Devilman both have simple bat-style wings, not that one is related to the other.

== Shellder Venom ==

Slowking Pokédex Entry:
Silver: '''When''' its head was bitten, toxins entered '''Slowpoke's head''' and unlocked an extraordinary power.
PDPt: '''Being bitten''' by Shellder gave it intelligence comparable to that of award-winning scientists.

Clearly it had venom beforehand '''When''' it bit '''Slowpoke's head''' Not after it was attached to Slowking's head. Just like the spider that bit Peter Parker, it didn't bite spider man, it bit the man who would become spider man. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 10:33, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
:But there is no mention of such a thing until ''after'' Shellder has changed to its spiral form. To me, it sounds like spiral Shellder has venom, but bivalve Shellder may not. Furthermore, there's no evidence that it uses said venom on any Pokemon other than Slowpoke. Until we get some really solid evidence one way or the other, I'd prefer it not be worded in a such a way as to suggest otherwise.

Now, Fireball the Victini made [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Sylveon_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=2070115&oldid=2070055 basically the same edit] again.

== Servine's biology ==

Regarding Servine's biology section, I'm confused as to what was 'unclear' in my rewrites. Would you care to clarify?

On a side note, I asked my older brother, also an avid Pokémon fan and who is a participant in an honor's English class, which sounded cleaner, better, and more professional (without revealing the authors of each version). He chose my rewrite. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 16:04, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
:Sure, I can certainly clarify. Since "green" in a color, adding "in coloration" is somewhat repetitive. "Thin" and "narrow" mean basically the same thing, so it was a small, unneeded change. "Beyond" can imply off to the sides or behind or even forward, while "behind" tells the reader specifically where they extend. The remainder really just made short, simple concepts longer, which wasn't really needed. I'm not trying to put down your brother's opinion or anything; both versions were well written. However, for the purposes of this site I feel the original was better suited. Thanks [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 16:14, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
::Hmm... I agree with what you said. However, some parts of my rewrite I feel should stay. For example, 'limbs' versus 'arms and legs' seemed more simple and concise. Using 'dirt-free' instead of clean helped with repetition, as 'clean' was used just in the last sentence; normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but reading through the section out loud made me realize how repetitive those two sentences sounded. Also, I really like the sound of 'This Pokémon hides in thick foliage or shadows to avoid attacks before retaliating with blinding speed,' haha. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 16:20, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

== Project Pokédex ==

Hey Crystal! So, as you seem to be the resident expert on Pokémon pages, I have a question to ask: On Pokémon pages, I've seen some pages with a <code><nowiki>{{-}}</nowiki></code> in-between the Pokémon navigation template, while others do not. for example, {{p|Koffing}} has a break template, while {{p|Florges}} doesn't. Which is correct? --'''[[User:FireGambit|FireGambit]]''' ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 01:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
:Either is fine. It just depends on whether or not the break is needed. The templates ended up mashing into each other on some pages, and the break was added to prevent that. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 03:40, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

== "More than on is not notable" ==

I agree that if two random Pokémon had the same BST, it wouldn't be notable. However, Durant and Heatmor are rivals, like Zangoose and Seviper, so it ''would'' be noticable. The Seviper and Zangoose pages do the same thing. They say "Seviper and its rival Zangoose share several characteristics, such as being in the Field Egg Group, residing in the same Friend Area, and being the only two Pokémon with a base stat total of 458 (which is unique to only them)."

Can I re-add it with other similarities, similarly to Zangoose and Seviper? --[[User:JoeIsCool|JoeIsCool]] ([[User talk:JoeIsCool|talk]]) 02:01, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
:I can stand by it with additional traits in common, yes. But rivals with the same BST alone isn't particularly notable. If anything, it's expected and not worth noting. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:09, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

:You did the talkpage just fine, don't worry. Reegarding the Eelektrik edit, it's not so much that the info is harmful, just that it isn't needed. It's not really relevant to the fact that Eelektrik has not weaknesses, and will become progressively more irrelevant as newer generations come out. So is it harmful? No, not at all.

:Because I reverted your edit. I simply restored the page to the way it was before. The additional sentence isn't necessary and as for changing the word skill to ability, well, that could be argued as well. I'm disinclined to use ability here since 1.

To say it wields the weapon with skill is more or less the same as pointing out specific example. It's fine the way it is. Also, I am not making fun of you at all, and I'm sorry if you feel that way. I'm just trying to tell you that Bulbapedia prides itself on looking and sounding professional, so we ask that your edits have proper grammar.

== Attract trivia for Nincada and company ==

A while ago I noticed trivia points about more than two Pokemon sharing species names and decided to remove them since they weren't unique, but I soon discovered that these are apparently approved "exceptions". In the course of removing those species points, I also removed the Attract trivia on {{p|Ferroseed}}, {{p|Ferrothorn}}, {{p|Larvesta}}, and {{p|Volcarona}} (oddly, I apparently missed/skipped Nincada), but when Force Fire reverted my edits of the species trivia, he reverted more or less everything I had done in that period, including at least [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ferroseed_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=2128430&oldid=2128287 one edit] where the Attract trivia was all I had removed. I don't know if Force Fire just didn't look closely at all of my edits or if he actually thought the Attract trivia was notable, but perhaps you can discuss it with him and, if it is after all apporpriate, remove the Attract trivia from {{p|Ferroseed}}, {{p|Ferrothorn}}, {{p|Larvesta}}, and {{p|Volcarona}}'s pages as you did for {{p|Nincada}}.

How come {{p|Leavanny}} being able to learn {{m|Steel Wing}} despite not having wings is not notable?

::Staying at Clemont's page, [http://hero.wikia.com/index.php?title=Clemont_%28Pokemon%29&diff=255577&oldid=255297 this] appears to be a rather substantial edit. I haven't looked fully at how our page looked then, but if that was a copy and paste rip, that user needs to be exposed over there. Of course, I don't know if that person is simply editing on both Wikis under different names and therefore it's his writing, in such a case, he can do whatever he wants...

== Volcanion ==

Going to pose this question out of curiosity after asking Force Fire, who indicated surprise at Volcanion moving to mainspace (which matches my reaction). Why was that page deemed ready for mainspace? Was it because it's generally complete or because everyone knows about it, so why not?

Also, Force Fire indicated the move pages might not be ready to be moved. I respect that, but pose the same question to you on both {{p|Hoopa}} (with [[User:Relicant/Hyperspace Hole (move)|Hyperspace Hole]]) and {{p|Volcanion}} (with [[User:Relicant/Steam Eruption (move)|Steam Eruption]]) since you deemed Volcanion's page ready. Both linked move pages, as you may notice, are in Relicant's userspace. We should not link to userspace with mainspace pages (meaning the movelist should not link to his userspace, but the page instead be moved and THEN linked, if anything). How are we going to handle those two moves? I stress again that Force Fire says they aren't ready. I suggest that if the Pokémon pages are ready, we need to put up supporting information for what we present or the pages should not be out there (and, in Hoopa's case in particular, it's been announced - so it needs to be out there). Are we going to blot out the movelists until Hoopa is officially released and we can see the information in the game legitimately, or are we going to put both Hyperspace Hole and Steam Eruption up? (The other three mentioned [[Talk:Volcanion (Pokémon)#Page Deletion|here]] are irrelevant, since they are not known as anything but in-game data ATM, but are also in the same userspace.) We really have two options here; relocate Volcanion and Hoopa to userspace or relocate both needed move pages to mainspace, or at least half and half returning Volcanion to Relicant and bringing Hoopa's move (Hyperspace Hole) to mainspace. I've also seen a reference to Hyperspace Fury, however, so the question is as to which move it really is, and only someone with a hacked Hoopa can take it to the move relearner to find out (and also get the missing Contest data). If I can figure that part of my AR out, I might be able to use my Power Saves and add Hoopa or Volcanion, then revert to an older state when done. Problem is I'm on a loaner ATM, so it'll be at least a week before I can do any of that. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:52, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

::Hyperspace Fury is still missing. I see [http://pokemondb.net/move/hyperspace-fury this] elsewhere, and I'm sure it's also at Serebii, but I'm not sure if you'd treat them as legitimate sources for our purposes. It's in the second level-up table for Hoopa, as well, and is the only move missing. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:30, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::It's a page we're working on getting the information and getting the page made. And you're right, Serebii or any other fansite is not an accepted source under any circumstance. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 05:43, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::::Awesome. Wish I had my Power Saves available (I will not put it on this loaner, though the accessory itself is right next to me LOL) so I could try to get a Hoopa and Volcanion Mystery Gift for contest data acquisition, but hey, what can ya do. I can deal with that later. The only thing missing aside from the one move itself is the contest data for the three known moves that are in the tables (the Hyperspace ones and Steam Eruption), and no one seems to have that, so that would be great to get in the tables and on the move pages themselves if we can. I can try later if necessary to confirm it if I figure it out.
::::Also, I thought the move pages were set as admin. only for the time being. How am I still able to edit the pages? Was I put on a whitelist for them since I have been helping with the Pokémon pages? (All the existing contest info came from me working on them.) I know I'm not an admin. and the templates are still protected from my access. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:50, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Moving the page is restricted to admins, to keep it from being mainspaced too soon or moved back without permission. Editing the page is open to all users. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 06:03, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

==Froslass/Edits==

Yesterday (February 16, 2015) I made an edit in Froslass' trivia section. I noted that other than Frost-Rotom, Froslass is the only Ice-type to have more resistances and immunities than weaknesses. I thought it was notable, so I added it. When I came back to check on my edit to make sure it hadn't been removed, I found that my edit was gone. I viewed the history of the page and I saw your reason for undoing this edit was that Froslass isn't the only Pokemon with these characteristics. However, I looked at Rotom's trivia, which stated that since the type-change, all of Rotom's forms (except Mow-Rotom) have or are tied for the least weaknesses of their respective secondary typings. If Rotom-Frost has a mention, why can't Froslass?

On a side note, I apologize for edit-warring over the Gourgeist and Pumpkaboo pages. I realize now that they are not the only Grass-types to learn damaging Fire-type moves. Ludicolo can learn Fire Punch via ORAS move tutor. [[User:Elephant1|Elephant1]] ([[User talk:Elephant1|talk]]) 16:54, 17 February 2015 (UTC)Elephant1

:Edit: I realize that this information is irrelevant anyway, as Frost-Rotom has less weaknesses than Froslass, and Froslass doesn't have more resistances and immunities than weaknesses. You can ignore my previous comment. --[[User:Elephant1|'''E'''lephant1]] ([[User talk:Elephant1|talk]]) 20:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)Elephant1

== Things Ima Ask ==

I have asked Force Fire about this, but he suggested to talk will other admins, so i choose you (that sounded like your my Pokemon :P)
I realized the code for a Eternal Flower form in Floette's info box is added, but is "unused". Can i change the code so it is shown will all the other flower formes?
Another thing is: there are some stuff that haven't had any official confirmation, but still exist in the wiki. Should I make a notice template where it says about it an article containing content that is unofficially revealed? (like [[Volcanion]]) [[User:Deltamon3|Deltamon3]] ([[User talk:Deltamon3|talk]]) 22:13, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

I have a problem. It's Clemont's Luxio I keep trying to find out if Sarah N. Was voiced in the English version but I didn't get her and ForceFire said Luxio's VA is unknown.

Hall of Fame

2015-03-09T21:30:26Z

Deltamon3: /* Rewards */ ORAS

:''For the books, see [[Pokémon: Sinnoh Hall of Fame]] and [[Pokémon Hall of Fame (book)]].''
----
{{incomplete|article|needs=Missing image/video gallery of inductions (including variants in third versions and remakes) from all handheld main series games aside from Platinum. Also needs information about Generation VI and layout maps from Generations V and VI}}
[[File:Hall of Fame B2W2.png|thumb|right|Entering the Hall of Fame in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}]]
The '''Hall of Fame''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|殿堂入り|でんどういり}}''' ''Induction to the Hall of Fame'') is a record kept by the [[Pokémon League]] of all the [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who have ever beaten the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]]. Various data regarding the victorious Trainer is recorded. The Hall of Fame is in a room accessible from the Champion's room, and may be accessed by people who have entered it by way of [[PC]].

==Data recorded==
In each game, data is recorded into the [[PC]], which is also shown during the games' ending scene. This is a list of which data is visible on the Hall of Fame PC option.

===Generation I===
Hall of Fame records are stored per individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. This means that a single member team is given a single record, while a six-member team is given six records. Each uniquely indexed record holds the Pokémon's [[species]], [[level]] and [[nickname]]. The Pokémon's [[type]] is also displayed, however this value is generated from the record's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|species index]] itself.

All [[Generation I]] games store the {{player}}'s 50 most recent records in ascending order. Any further records overwrite the oldest record present. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 51 times, feats 2 through 51 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 300 Pokémon records to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, playing time, [[Pokémon Dollar|money]], sprite, and number of Pokémon obtained are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand. [[Professor Oak]] also evaluates the player's [[Pokédex]] before the credits roll.

===Generation II===
Hall of Fame records are again stored per individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Each uniquely indexed record now holds the Pokémon's [[species]], [[level]], [[Individual values|IVs]], [[Trainer ID number]] and [[nickname]]. Although the IVs are not visible, they are used to display the Pokémon's [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{p|Unown}} {{DL|Form differences|Unown|form}}, if any of the three apply to the given specimen. The Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation II)|index number]] is also displayed, however this value is generated from the record's species index itself.

All [[Generation II]] games store the player's 30 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would again delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 31 times, feats 31 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 180 Pokémon records to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, Trainer ID number, playing time, sprite, and number of Pokémon obtained are displayed during the ending scene, along with each [[Party|team]] member's unique record beforehand. [[Professor Oak]] also evaluates the player's [[Pokédex]] before the credits roll.

===Generation III===
Hall of Fame records are now stored per each [[Party|team]], so as to save time traversing through records. This means that a single member team is given a single record, while a six-member is team is also given a single record. Each indexed record holds an entire team's data, with each unique team member entry consisting of its [[species]], [[level]], [[nickname]], [[personality value]], and [[Trainer ID number]]. Personality values work exactly like [[Individual values|IVs]] in [[Generation II]], in that they are not visible, yet are used to display the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{p|Unown}} and/or {{p|Spinda}} {{DL|Form differences||form}}, if any of the three apply to the given specimen. The Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation III)|index number]] is once again displayed, however this value is generated from the record's species index itself.

All [[Generation III]] games store the player's 50 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 51 times, feats 51 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 50 team records, each with a maximum of 300 Pokémon total, to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, Trainer ID number, playing time and sprite are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand. Unlike previous [[generation]]s, however; each game's [[region]]al {{pkmn|Professor}} will not evaluate the [[Pokédex]]. Instead, the message <code>LEAGUE CHAMPION! CONGRATULATIONS!</code> is displayed before the credits roll.

===Generation IV===
Hall of Fame records are again stored per each [[Party|team]], so as to save time traversing through records. Each indexed record holds the date the feat took place, as well as an entire team's data, with each unique team member entry consisting of its [[species]], [[level]], [[nickname]], [[personality value]], {{pkmn|Trainer}} name and all four learned [[move]]s. Personality values are not visible, yet are used to display the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{DL|Form differences||form}}, if any of the three apply to the given specimen.

All [[Generation IV]] games store the player's 30 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 31 times, feats 31 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 30 team records, each with a maximum of 180 Pokémon total, to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, [[Trainer ID number]], playing time and sprite and the message <code>League Champion! Congratulations!</code> are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand.

Additionally, when a team member is displayed during the ending scene, its original [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|catching location]] will be displayed. Whether this piece of information is stored within each team member's Hall of Fame record or not has yet to be researched.

===Generation V===
{{incomplete|section|Needs research on how the Hall of Fame data is stored}}
The player's [[party]] after defeating [[Ghetsis]] will be recorded. Subsequent battles (those requiring [[Alder]] to be defeated) will also be added. A maximum of 15 [[Elite Four]] clears can be recorded at any time, as well as the First Game Clear. The data is again deleted using the {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. The data is stored in the "Records" section of the PC. Each entry includes the date the player entered the Hall of Fame, their Pokémon's nickname, gender, level, species, OT, and moves.

==Rewards==
{{incomplete|section|ORAS}}
* In [[Generation I]], the player is granted access to [[Cerulean Cave]], while in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, it is one of the requirements needed to enter Cerulean Cave.
* In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player is given a {{key|II|S.S. Ticket}} for the [[S.S. Aqua]], effectively giving them access to the [[Kanto]] [[region]].
* In the [[Hoenn]]-based [[Generation III]] games and [[Sinnoh]]-based [[Generation IV]] games, players are rewarded the following for entering the Hall of Fame:
** In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a star will be placed on the player's {{ga|Trainer Card}}, changing its color.
** In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Champion Ribbon}} will be given to all of the player's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that get into the Hall of Fame. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Sinnoh Champ Ribbon}} will be given to all of the player's Pokémon that get into the Hall of Fame.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the {{ga|Barry|rival}}'s team at the [[Fight Area]] will be ten [[level]]s higher once the player enters the Hall of Fame twenty times. In {{game|Platinum}}, under the same conditions, the rival's team at the [[Survival Area]] will be twenty levels higher.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the player receives additional [[PC]] {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|wallpaper}}s to commemorate the conquest of the {{DL|Elite Four|Unova Elite Four}} and [[Team Plasma]], and another set for defeating the Elite Four in [[rematch]]es and the first defeat of [[Alder]]. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], one set of wallpapers is unlocked upon defeating [[Iris]] and the other upon capturing {{p|Kyurem}}.
* In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} the player is allowed to go back to the [[Giant Chasm]] to catch {{p|Kyurem}} and obtain the DNA Splicers.
* In {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the player is granted access to the {{kal|Unknown Dungeon}} where {{p|Mewtwo}} can be captured, along with its respective [[Mega Stone]]. {{p|Zygarde}} and {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, or {{p|Articuno}}, depending on the starter chosen at the start of the game, are also available for capture. Outside the player's house, [[Shauna]] will offer to trade any of the player's Pokémon for the unevolved form of her starter Pokémon, and upon reaching the Lumiose City train station, access to [[Kiloude City]], and by extension, the [[Battle Maison]], [[Friend Safari]], and rematches with the rival, will be granted. Finally, after completing certain conditions, the player's Mega Ring can be upgraded, and a sidequest involving Looker can be initiated in Lumiose City.
* In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the first time, the [[Delta Episode]] starts, and Birch gives the player a Johto starter. The second time, the player is given a Sinnoh starter. Any [[Legendary Pokémon]] that the player faints will respawn, however, legendaries that the player captures will not. This will happen each time they beat the Elite Four.

==Glitches==
[[File:Halloffameglitches.png|thumb|160px|Examples of corrupted Hall of Fame entries caused by Missingno.]]
* In the [[Generation I]] games, if the player encounters [[Missingno.]] or other [[glitch Pokémon]], the Hall of Fame data may be corrupted by a [[glitch]] in the game. When Missingno. has been seen on the save file, the player's Hall of Fame is badly corrupted with entirely different {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which will often consist of glitched characters and names. Players can often see particular Pokémon in the Hall of Fame, whether they have seen them in the [[Pokédex]] or not. This effect also works in {{game|Yellow}} when encountering glitch Pokémon through the [[Mew glitch]]. However, a way to avoid the effects of this glitch is to encounter Missingno. or any other glitch Pokémon before entering the Hall of Fame, because encountering a Missingno. only affects the teams already registered in the Hall of Fame. Players can also defeat the Elite Four multiple times after having encountered Missingno., as the game will automatically overwrite older Hall of Fame entries after the Elite Four is defeated 20 times.
* In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, performing the [[Dokokashira door glitch]] allows the {{player}} to quickly complete the game by forcing the next door to take them to another location; this can include the Hall of Fame room. This extremely hazardous and game-breaking glitch was removed from {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, causing it to not be present in the translated {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Palace of Victory.png|thumb|200px|The Palace of Victory]]
===In the main series===
The Hall of Fame's only appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}} was in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. After beating {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, the Head Leader of the [[Orange League]], {{Ash}} earned a spot in the [[Palace of Victory]], which is also known as the Orange League Hall of Fame. A photo of the winning {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are kept on display.
{{right clear}}
[[File:Hall of Fame PO.png|thumb|230px|The Hall of Fame in Pokémon Origins]]
===In Pokémon Origins===
The Hall of Fame appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'' after {{OBP|Red|Origins}} defeated {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} and became the Pokémon League Champion. Much like in the games, Red was led to the Hall of Fame by Professor Oak, after which Red's Pokémon's data was recorded and displayed on a screen. The Hall of Fame contained numerous portraits of all the previous Champions and their Pokémon [[party|teams]].
{{right clear}}

==Trivia==
* The "Congratulations" screen in the [[Generation V]] games shows the player with one of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; After showing one battle animation cycle, it rotates the Pokémon off-screen to the left and the next Pokémon takes its place from the right. This is similar to what occurs in the title screen of {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}.

Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians that invite good spirits and repel evil ones. Its mechanical appearance and cannon-like "arms" may also draw inspiration from {{wp|tank}}s. It may also be based on a {{wp|steam engine}}.

====Name origin====
Volcanion could be a corruption of ''volcano'' and ''lion''. It may also include ''canyon'', referring to its ability to break large landmasses. "Canion" may also be a corruption of ''cannon''.

'''Volcanion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ボルケニオン''' ''Volcanion'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Water}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]].

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

Volcanion is the final Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] as of [[Generation VI]].

It is currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]] and has not been officially revealed.

==Biology==
Volcanion is a primarily red, quadruped Pokémon with blue and yellow markings. It has large, pointed ears with blue insides and bright blue eyes. Additionally, it has bushy yellow eyebrows and a yellow mandible. There are spike-protrusions on each cheek that extend downward over its lower jaw. Volcanion's body has two oval segments separated by a thinner, blue portion. The front portion the body is larger and has two large, arm-like cannons on the back. These cannons are usually held together, forming a ring. Each cannon is separated into three segments by bright blue lines, and each segment has a single blue dot and short, blunt growth. The topmost segments also have four small, yellow bumps around the end. On its chest are four yellow, diamond-shaped markings. There is a thin, yellow band around each of its leg joints. The upper portion of its legs is blue and smaller than the large, red lower portion. Each ankle has a short, blunt growth, while each foot has three yellow claws. Volcanion has a short, tapering tail with a blue stripe on top. Volcanion has a unique organ capable of turning water vapor around it into hot steam in an instant. It can expel steam of superbly high pressure and has the ability to blow away mountains.

Imma start work on the talk page to make a parseable table. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] ([[User talk:Raijinili|talk]]) 03:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
:I'm currently just going through all the moves (alphabetically) to figure out which ones have side effects. I don't mind you helping out.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:49, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
::I'm up to Powder Snow >.>. I'm doing it a different way. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] ([[User talk:Raijinili|talk]]) 04:18, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Recoil, user-stat lowering (Close Combat), and draining are not "additional effects". They might be called primary effects. Additional effects are generally those that are affected by {{a|Sheer Force}}, {{a|Shield Dust}}, and {{a|Serene Grace}}, and none of those are. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] ([[User talk:Raijinili|talk]]) 22:09, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

== Tacopill ==

Force Fire, Tacopill had made more than three userspace edits, will you warn this user about the userspace policy? [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 02:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

== Old spellings for older moves ==

Force Fire, will you undo my edits since you said we are allowed to use new spellings in the anime, because we do not need old spellings. [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 03:18, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
:I would like to know why you yourself can't do the task. You can simply undo them by going to the history tab, find your edit and click the undo button next to it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:24, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

== Archive protection ==

Hey, can you protect my talk page archive ({{ut|Funktastic~!/Archive 2}}}? Thanks in advance. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 08:01, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

==Meta game trivia==
''[[User:Force Fire/Trivia Policy/Species#Unnotable|This sort of trivia are unnotable as we are a wiki, not a strategy guide.]]'' While this is usually practiced on other pages, there a few notable exceptions… 18 of them, to be exact. Each type's {{DL|Fairy (type)|Characteristics}} section is basically a miniature Smogon, complete with popular moves, strategies, and evaluation of metagame effectiveness. Much of these Characteristics are theories based on metagame critique. To put it simply: Why are these here? Moves aren't analyzed like this, Pokémon pages don't get anything like this. So why the types, which on their own don't really provide much of an education into the metagame? Sorry to bug you, but I felt like raising the question. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 08:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
:This is something I've been wondering myself too, but never really bothered to bring up. I'll mention this to the other staff members and I'll have an answer afterwards.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 01:58, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

==Mewtwo edit warring==
There have been 10 edits on [[Mewtwo (Pokémon)#Biology|Mewtwo's Bio]] since yesterday arguing about who created it in the games, anime, etc. Help us, Forcey-wan Firobi; you're our only hope. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 19:56, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
:Anyone who's seen the movie or played the games should now who created Mewtwo in their respected mediums. A group of Scientist for the anime, and an unknown scientist in the games.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 01:58, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

==Team Plasma==
What was wrong with Team Plasma's article? Likewise that of the Team Plasma grunts?

[[User:Jdogno4|Jdogno4]] ([[User talk:Jdogno4|talk]]) 09:07, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
:There was nothing wrong with the pages in the first place. You just simply made unnecessary changes, there was nothing wrong with the grammar.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:11, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Oy, what's the idea with locking the article page. {{unsigned|Jdogno4}}
:I locked it as you keep adding those unnecessary changes. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Jdogno4#Re:What.27s_the_problem.3F Did you read your talk page?] cause it looks like you didn't. I will not repeat what is said on your talk page, as that pretty much sums it up.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:10, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

==Archives editing and uploading==
Looks like the Archives are once again locked due of upgrading the site, and I can't upload WTP_XY003.png picture that I found it. http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/WTP_XY003_zps0a790145.png.html Would you add this picture, so I can add it on the episode XY003 and ''Who's That Pokémon?'' pages? Pikachu65 10:22, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:Not sure if the archives are safe to edit/upload. Not sure if the upgrade is done yet. So just wait for a few days.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:13, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
::Right. I found this! Can you tell me if it's an error or not? 'Cause I'm going to add it. http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/SOFCJ-RawsPocketMonstersXY-09TVO1280x720x264AACmp4_snapshot_1557_20140206_141610_zps71125d92.png.html I've also noticed Bonnie and Serena were imitating Caterpie and Swadloon. We can't add this because it's a waste of time. Pikachu65 13:22, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:::So... what's the error? You can't just expect me to magically know what I'm looking for.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:37, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::::Alright now, it's Clemont's teeth, you can see the colors of Afternoon, right? And they are white, not in the colorization of Afternoon. You know what I mean. I guess adding Bonnie and Serena imitating Caterpie and Swadloon would be added, huh? Pikachu65 13:41, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::Ehh, for me, it's not much of a big deal. So I'd say no. Also, not sure if you want to put the Serena and Bonnie thing as an error or if it is a trivial thing, because either way, it's not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:46, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::::::Well, Clemont's teeth error would be notable (I mean white color in the colorization of afternoon?), but Bonnie and Serena imitating Caterpie and Swadloon would be added to the trivia, so it will do a trick here. Pikachu65 13:49, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::::Like I said, not a big deal. The Serena and Bonnie thing is not notable. The only reason we mention Pikachu doing imitations is because it is a series running thing that has been happening for a while. Bonnie and Serena doing it in one episode is not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:52, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::::::::Yes! They were doing this for fun, that's all. So this one http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/SOFCJ-RawsPocketMonstersXY-09TVO1280x720x264AACmp4_snapshot_1557_20140206_141610_zps71125d92.png.html is not a big deąl, really. Pikachu65 13:54, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

== Pokemon Conquest Moves ==

Hello. Not long before I posted this, I was adding tables to the various moves used in Pokemon conquest. However, I happened to find a website where they use images right from the game to show the area of effect moves have, such as [http://veekun.com/dex/media/chrome/conquest-move-ranges/tile-1-ahead-knockback.png this one here].

== Error Images ==

For the error images, is the staff aware about any of the pages with more than five error images? That way, if they are, I won't put in any tags telling them which page has over five. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 02:51, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
:Considering the fact there is over 800 episode episode page, I don't think the staff are keeping track of how many images are there on the page. We trust that users will follow the five image per episode rule. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:23, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
::Ok. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 03:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

== Edits ==

I will resume lurking and the occasional spelling/grammar edit, then, if that's okay with you. As I come from a large wiki, where we have our own little cliques, seeing a new person being bold tends to ruffle a lot of feathers, and I haven't really seen a "be bold" policy here. Thus, since there is none, then I will stop being bold and resume the occasional maintenance edit.

The confusion resulted from the userpage being displayed and basically a message asking for edits. I supplied what information I could, section by section, as opening a very large page in its entirety is very confusing. It is much easier to keep track of what's done by working by section, and that is where Preview doesn't help (which I used every single edit, including this one).

I admit that I didn't see the in-use tag when I started. However, when it was asked on the Pokémon-Amie talk page for edits, and I felt I should add what I could, then the message was mixed. The task would have been very simple; if a page is not public yet, don't display it.

That being said, and my own experience with cliques, I can see where I'm not wanted and will be returning to lurking. Wookieepedia needs my attention more, anyway. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 08:00, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

== New Pokémon ==

Have you seen Hoopa and Volcanion as well? I was thinking we should create sandboxes for them too. I would do it myself, but unfortunately I have no idea how those templates work.

I found their level 100 move sets, abilities, and types [http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/60943/t1957245-hoopa-volcanion-diancies-leaked-stats-abilities-types/ here].

== [[Diggersby (Pokémon)#Name origin]] ==

As one who was skeptical of {{u|Relicant}}'s reasonings in [[Talk:Chesnaught (Pokémon)#Knight]] (and as a staff member), I'm curious to know what you think of Relicant's [[Talk:Diggersby (Pokémon)#Name origin|arguments for "rood"]] as an origin for {{p|Diggersby}}'s Japanese name (Horūdo).

I do not believe there is enough substance to support "rood" as a possibility, but I'm sure Relicant wouldn't just let me remove it (and that would lead nowhere), so I need some authority to judge this and give it a solid resolution. If you (and/or other staff) judge that, thin though rood's substance may be, its possibility still cannot be absolutely denied, then I'll be happy enough to accept that. I really think it's much too unlikely, though...
[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:19, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

...do regional Pokédex Numbers in the infoboxes look ugly ATM? See [[Azumarill]]; I would think having regions on top as one line of a table, and the number in each Dex on the second line of the same table makes more sense and looks better. No problem with two lines in the first row of the table. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:45, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

== Pokemon Conquest Moves ==

I'd like to request [[User:Drake Clawfang/Sandbox|this template]] be implimented as template for Pokemon Conquest moves. Currently as I'm editing it involves the mass copying and editing of the table directly, which this template greatly simplifies. Actual usage of it could further by simplified by making the three colors used in the template into color templates like "<nowiki>{{Steel color dark}}</nowiki>", etc, so in the template fields I could put "hit/move/push" instead of the color codes, but as-is it's perfectly functional as seen [[User:Drake Clawfang/Sandbox2|here]]. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 21:13, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

On a related note, would the website "Veekun" by acceptable for reliable information? Their database on the game's moves provides base accuracy, chance of secondary effects taking hold, and base power, stats that are not-viewable in-game. I'd like to add this extra info but if the website isn't suitable as a source for this I'm fine to leave it out. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 21:23, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
:I'll bring up the template request to the other admins. The template look alright to me. About Veekun, I'm pretty sure they are a reliable source. I'll check with the others.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:40, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

== Your [[Starter Pokémon]] edit ==

Would you care to respond to the comment(s) at [[Talk:Starter Pokémon#Kalos secondary triangle]] regarding your removal of the trivia point? In short, I think you're using a baselessly narrow definition of what makes a "triangle". There's no good reason to be any more strict than "advantage"/"disadvantage", and that makes a perfect triangle. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:37, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
:I already stated in the edit summary. The triangle isn't based of Advantage and Disadvantages, it is based of Super Effectiveness and Resistance. [http://www.dragonflycave.com/faq.aspx#darkpsyfight This site] further explains why it is not a triangle.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:43, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
::Why should I care what that site says? It's not an official site. Everyone's definition of "triangle" (as regards this subject) is artificial, and yours/that site's are based on one ''single'' data point: the Water/Fire/Grass "triangle". That is ''MASSIVELY'' flawed.
::"Dealing 2x damage" and "receiving 1/2 damage" can be rephrased as "having an offensive advantage" and "having a defensive advantage", and you cannot tell me with any sort of certainty that that is the wrong interpretation. (Or if you're looking at it as "A deals 2x damage to B and B deals 1/2 damage to A", it's "A has an offensive advantage over B and B has an offensive disadvantage against A". Same difference.)
::Look at the facts. The Dark/Psychic/Fighting secondary types are ''so'' close to the ''exact'' same relationship ("triangle") as the Water/Fire/Grass primary types. Would you wager that that was not intentional? Would you actually wager that they were not going for a secondary "triangle"? Who are you to say that it doesn't form a "triangle" when they've rather apparently made the decision that "offensive advantage/defensive advantage" is the rule of their "triangles" instead of the trivially specific "deals 2x damage/receives 1/2 damage"? The games have done basically nothing in the way of "triangles" for five generations except Water/Fire/Grass; accept that they just decided to advance this concept a bit. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:16, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
:::I only used that site to explain why I think Dark/Psychic/Fighting does not make a triangle. There is no official word, but the fact the kept the Grass/Fire/Water cycle, the one that deals 2x damage to A/receives 1/2 damage to B, for sixth generation states otherwise. Dark tpye does not receive 1/2 damage to Psychic thus does not make Dark/Fighting/Psychic a triangle.

:::::::Even if it has been repeated for sixth generation and nearly two decades? You are missing the point. Having an advantage and disadvantage isn't that specific and too general.

== Re: Success ==

I'm sorry for saying the things I do, as you are not even a member of ProjectVA, but how can I not when you look at the story in full perspective? The whole reasoning for Jo the Marten's "Unknown" label simply equated to "she's not Lisa Ortiz," which was not only clear as day to begin with, but also something that, conversely, remained untouched for nearly a decade if for no other reason than a lack of proper research on a fundamental level. The answer was right in front of you the entire time, but alas, the site's mantra kills the premise of user-submitted content in this category - the very foundation of this site - so all the staff involved in that area of the site only really succeed in doing in this area was putting a bag on their head and pretend to be invisible so they wouldn't get in trouble by their hypothetical parents/guardians. It's a hypocritical practice that only keeps them locked in the darkness, and this whole incident only goes to show how stubborn they are in turning a trivial matter into a critical mass due to nothing more than a false disposition.

Fortunately, some of us still believe in our own power. And that is what makes this so worthy to discuss.

I don't need to prove anything for you personally, however. You have demonstrated time and again to be this site's impenetrable defensive line, the white blood cell in their system, and you do a very good job of that. Despite our confrontations I don't bare any grudge against you. Even so, I feel obligated to play the role of muckraker here when one such as myself can easily see through the flaws of its design made by user and admin alike. I pretty much have it down to a science now.

For whatever reason you have to follow me everywhere, just know that I will never criticize you in retaliation. I am much too old to be playing that childish game.

If you must know why I didn't go after this personal example, it's because I, too, have a life. Also, my efforts were made in contacting Hollingshead instead, as well as other VAs in other works. Additionally, I had heard GamerGeek had asked Tara about this as well, so I did not particularly need to contact her myself at this time. The situation was already in good hands, you see.

:"Unknown" just mean that we have no idea and that someone should go look that up. The only reason why ''I'm'' not doing anything regarding finding VA is because I don't feel comfortable doing so.
:I wouldn't mind if you (or anyone in that matter) was going around getting sources.

The photo doesn't have Ash's father in it, so it doesn't COMPLETELY prove it. About Dawn, people say she is the only child of Johanna. I believe that to be true. Also, about Mega Evolution. Do you think Ash will get a Mega Ring? Are strong bonds really involved? {{unsigned|QueenElsa11}}
:Now you're just speculating. Ash is an only child because the photo only shows him, and we know that his father left when he was young.

Ok. I get it now. So he really IS the only child of Delia Ketchum. Ash and James of Team Rocket are only children, so they can relate. I have a brother and I wish I was an only child myself. Being like James and Ash would be fun. Anyway, I am working on a Fanfiction based on Pokémon Omicron. Elsa Woods, my player character, is an only child that lived with her mother, the league champion Aria Woods, until she left on her journey at the age of 10. Elsa's father left on a Pokémon Journey after his daughter was born. Ash and Elsa can relate. I am not talking about Frozen's Elsa.{{unsigned|QueenElsa11}}

== Primal reversion TE chart vs. Mega evoluion TE chart ==

In my previous post, you said the type effectiveness chart for Primal Groudon will only be added after the Hoenn remakes are released. However, I noticed that Mega Altaria and Mega Lopunny have type effectiveness charts for their new respective typings. What is the difference between giving unreleased Mega Evolutions a new type effectiveness chart and giving Primal Groudon a type effectiveness chart?

== [[List of type combinations by abundance]] trivia wording ==

== Mirage Cave Article ==

So I never played the Mystery Dungeon Games, so I was surprised to find out there was a Mirage Cave article that wasn't related to the new Mirage spots in ORAS. So should the current Mirage Cave be retrofitted to cover both versions, or should a new article or set of articles be coined? Like have Mirage Cave (Mystery Dungeon) and Mirage Spot (Cave) ? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 20:57, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
:Are they both called Mirage Cave? Because what you're implying is that in MD, it's called Mirage Cave whilst in ORAS, it's called Mirage Spot. Either way, they should be in two separate articles with the (Mystery Dungeon) and (ORAS). (If they are the same place, is not, then omit the parenthesis).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:06, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Both are called Mirage Cave, Any Pokémon Caught in a Mirage Cave will say so in their location met data. Lady Ariel has suggested that the MD version be called Mirage Cave (Mystery Dungeon) and the ORAS version called Mirage Cave (Hoenn)
This also affects the Mirage Island Article (although not as much) but also affects the Mirage Forest article (which redirects to a TCG article for some Region I only heard of today since I never played the TCG)

::::::The Mirage Cave, Mirage Forest, Mirage Island, and Mirage Mountain are different locations. Each has about 8 possible locations where they can appear with different Pokémon for each one.

== Hiya ==

I'll disclose that I also [[User_talk:SnorlaxMonster#Help_Requested_.28Templates.29|also asked SnorlaxMonster about this]], but just in case he doesn't know himself wanted to ask someone else too.

As that link says, I am basically adding new Egg Moves for Minun (and eventually Plusle as well), but I am not sure how to tag that the Egg Moves are in OR/AS only; in this case, Charm and Fake Tears are showing up IN THE FIELD as Egg Moves replacing the first move on both species, and though I haven't reached the breeder yet, the fact that they are showing up via the new mechanic confirms that they are Egg Moves themselves. I haven't done the breeding research to see who else can pass down the move, but for now Plusle and Minun themselves are the only mates I've labeled. (I also succeeded in finding a Lv.16 Plusle earlier, via DexNav, that turned out to know Charm itself; I've made edits to DexNav exclusive for single (non-horde) encounters for this reason.)

So my attempts to add the OR/AS tag were futile, I'm guessing because the tags were never created for the breed5 template. I have done research and found, for instance, Munchlax has a "HG/SS" tag on its [[Munchlax_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29/Generation_IV_learnset#By_breeding|Gen IV breeding set]] and recalled Cinccino being unable to learn Thief via TM in B/W (corrected in B2/W2, thus the tag [[Cinccino_(Pokémon)/Generation_V_learnset#By_TM.2FHM|here]] next to the move in question), but looking at the code, I find it doesn't work for the breed5 template, suggesting the code doesn't exist for those tags there. This suspicion is confirmed when I see the following in the second "style" line on the template (converted as displayed, not in code form which you'd see in edit mode):

:BW=[[Pokémon Black and White Versions|BW]]

This needs to be updated to have an X/Y and OR/AS tag as I am sure there are other Egg Moves that are exclusive to OR/AS. If {{p|Minun}} could then be updated, then it can be copied to {{p|Plusle}} as well (the two new Egg Moves, that is) and either used as a reference for future exclusive Egg Moves. I'd add the code myself, but I don't have editing rights to the template and likely never will. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:21, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
:UPDATE: I have looked and found that [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:Learnlist/breed6 breed6] now exists, created last month. I'm going to compare the two tags and see if I can figure out the differences. Of note, I see that editing is currently available to me for breed6, but I'm going to do some testing in my space to try adding the tags before I apply any updates there. Perhaps after I finish this research and possibly make edits, the template can be locked at that point? Once I know my tests work, I'll update Minun's egg move list over to the breed6 template after making the necessary edits on the template and then do the same for Plusle. Clearly, all breed5 need to be updated to breed6 on all pages, but more important to get the mechanics working first.

I'm can create "breed6Cyc" for testing and clearly note it's for testing, and once testing is complete and breed6 updated it can be deleted. Either way, I have looked at the structure of both breed5 and breed6 and found that the addition of OR/AS should be easy, as is X/Y; I'm going to look at the breed4 structure as well to make sure I don't mess up trying to add two as B2/W2 don't have their own switch on the breed5 template (probably nothing on that template exclusive to it).

Minun's breeding is changed completely over using data straight from the game for beauty, appeal, etc. but the switch isn't working.

== Edit Permissions? ==

I'm currently in the area of the Igglybuff/Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff articles editing TM lists and I see you protected Jigglypuff about 7-8 hours ago now. Any chance I can get the edit permissions necessary to edit [[Jigglypuff (Pokémon)|Jigglypuff's]] list? I have no interest in what went on (and am aware of it as well, as I commented to the person in question at one point). Hope I don't have to wait for a couple of days when I have the edit ready to go right now. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:53, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

::Ah, so there's no way to let anyone around it. That's too bad.

::I'll try to wait - at least it's only two days. I think it expires before I have to go on Monday, and that will let me get it in before my laptop gets torn apart.

::::I personally thought with only one user involved, he had to be aware he should stop adding the content, and I don't think he's going to try to edit war again - I mean, at that point, he's risking being able to edit at all. I've seen another user do a lot of editing recently on a bunch of pages (I helped revert some of it), and much more than this user did, and those pages never got protected according to Recent Changes (and the edits did stop, perhaps the user was blocked and that just doesn't show). In this case, I think a final warning would have been enough, and any additional attempt to add the content gets him blocked temporarily, and others could continue to edit as needed. But I'm in no position to question these decisions, and like I said it's not a big deal anyway, so...yeah, I am working on the Spheal family now, not a big deal.
::::My goal now is really to finish the Hoenn group, anyway, then if I have to use a loaner for a couple of weeks I'll just create a temporary folder there for doing only Unova and Kalos species for TM/HM, catch locations, and Pokédex entries (where there is no Ruby/Sapphire to say is identical, and must be checked). Jigglypuff should be done before I have to use a loaner, and I'll try to use mine after getting it looked at until the repair can be made, but based on the last time this happened, it's gone for two weeks. My problem is that the ones not in the Hoenn Dex - and of those, that's pretty much all of them - need to be checked in Alpha Sapphire as well, and I'm using that for rematch research, so I might have to finish THAT project before looking for Dex information in that game (I can do OR at my leisure). Man, I'm taking on a lot. =) At least Jigglypuff's TM list can be updated before I leave on Monday. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

== New Move Pages in Relicant's Userspace ==

I asked Relicant to pop in, but since you moved {{p|Hoopa}} and Crystal Talian moved {{p|Volcanion}}, I thought I better invite you to comment [[Talk:Volcanion (Pokémon)#Page Deletion|over here]] as well.

== Can you please explain why you deleted the comparison between Looker and Doctor Who in Looker's trivia page?==

I stated within that edit that I was not posting speculation as fact, and that I was well aware that it was not GameFreak's intention, but it still seemed relevant regardless because it was still Trivia that connected Looker to that character. In fact the connections between The Doctor and Audino seemed rather "too specific" that it felt like an easter egg if anything.
Trivia isn't necessarily "all fact" as long as there is enough basis to make a connection and people find it interesting.

== Mega Salamence ==

I have read your response, and honestly, that is not the right comparison to make.

Mega Evolutions are not like "two Onix's", Mega Evolutions are only used by a select few in the Pokémon games as they are deemed as the most powerful Pokémon forms. Let me tell you this, if there were two important characters that were using a shiny Metagross - would you simply state, "It's just two of the same Pokémon?" No. Because Shiny are considered as rare exceptions. Yes, the rate to get a shiny has increased, however, this does not change the overall specialty of shiny Pokémon. The same goes for Mega Evolutions. for even one Mega Evolution to be relevant by more than one character is a specialty. Yes, it is not interesting to you, but, I can guarantee you that it will interest every other person.

Just remember, this is Trivia that interest's everybody and not just you. I couldn't care less about Salamence's defense being the highest for Dragon types, but if it interest everyone else then I'm all for it. The same goes with my trivia.{{unsigned|Mega Charizard Z}}
:1) Please keep conversation in one talk page. It makes it easier to find where the discussion is taking place.
:2) Please sign your comments with four tildes (~) or by clicking the signature button above the edit box.
:3) Two trainers having the same Pokémon is not notable. Any two trainers can have the same Pokémon, regardless of whether it is a Mega or a shiny.
:4) I know that trivia should be interesting to everybody, but at the same time, it shouldn't be dull. Two trainers having the same Pokémon? So what? Ash and Dawn have a Quilava. Brock and Roark have an Onix. It's not that far-fetched.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:14, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

== About the original series numbering and ends in the dub ==

I'm sure you're aware that the Official Pokémon Website lists the episodes in the dub as "season 1" and "season 2" differently from how we've listed them. I wonder if it's possible if we could go in the same path as the Pokémon Best Wishes series and have "Season 2 continues into Adventures in the Orange Islands below. Please note that this only applies to the dub outside of Japan." in there as well? And yes, I'm aware that a few of the episodes are aired in a slightly different order in season 1 and 2 than they are in the Japanese version. —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 12:49, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

== Regarding the Groudon undo ==

I am not sure if you remember, but you undid the part where it showed the evobox for Groudon and its Primal frome. You told me "Not an evolution". I wasn't regarding it as an evolution in the first place. I was using the evobox FORME template, not the regular one. plus even if you did knew it was a forme evobox, why undo it? Primal Groudon is a forme of Groudon. Hoopa has a forme and it has a evobox template for confined and unbound and it doesn't get removed. Im not trying to be harsh. Im just wondering why. [[User:Deltamon3|Deltamon3]] ([[User talk:Deltamon3|talk]]) 18:51, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

== Move Discussion: Brendan ==

Please comment [[Talk:Brendan_(game)#Move|here]]. IMO there is no valid reason for not moving the page to remove (game) from the end of it because there is only one Brendan in the Pokémon world, so disambiguation is not necessary. This is different from May, who has an [[May (anime)|anime version]] and requires disambiguation. Keeping Brendan's page at [[Brendan (game)]] for "consistency" is laughable, and there are several people (myself included) advocating the move.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Volcarona and its {{p|Larvesta|pre-evolution}}.
* Volcarona has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Larvesta takes the longest to go through a single stage of evolution of all Pokémon, evolving at level 59.
* Volcarona shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Sunflora}}. They are all known as the Sun Pokémon.
* Volcarona is the only Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 15.
* Volcarona is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 550.
* Volcarona and its pre-evolution are the only non-Legendary Pokémon that learn a move upon reaching level 100.
* Volcarona and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon with a double weakness to the {{type|Rock}} that are not {{type|Flying}}s.
** This makes them the Pokémon vulnerable to the most damage from [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazard]]s, able to be affected by both {{m|Stealth Rock}} (from which they take maximum damage) and {{m|Spikes}}.

===Origin===
Volcarona is based on a moth, particularly the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} or {{wp|Hyalophora cecropia|Cecropia Moth}}. Conceptually, it seems to be derived from the phrase "like a moth to a flame," which refers to the observed positive {{wp|phototaxis}} demonstrated by moths. It may be based on a {{wp|solar deity}}, a type of god said to be able to control various aspects of the sun such as sunrise, sunset, eclipses, position, etc, the black spots on its wings representing {{wp|sunspot|dark spots on the sun}}. Its wings may be based on the petals of a {{wp|Lilium lancifolium|tiger lily}}, having the same number of extensions, black spots, and red-orange coloring. The head and antennae of Volcarona bear a resemblance to the headpiece of {{wp|Hathor}}, which depicts the horns of the goddess cradling a disk representing the sun in between. Volcarona's appearance may also be loosely based on that of a {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel that is often associated with fire, as its name literally translates to "burning one". Like Volcarona, seraphim are often depicted with six red wings and no legs.

====Name origin====
Volcarona is a combination of ''volcano'' and ''{{wp|corona}}'', referring to its {{t|Fire}} type and status as the Sun Pokémon. It may also refer to ''{{wp|Vulcan (mythology)|Vulcan}}'', the {{wp|Religion in ancient Rome|Roman god}} of fire.

Ulgamoth is a combination of ウルカヌス ''Urukanusu'' (Vulcan), 蛾 ''ga'' (moth), and ''moth''.

==Biology==
[[File:Cinccino cleaning.png|thumb|left|250px|Cinccino cleaning itself]]
Cinccino is a furry, gray chinchilla-like Pokémon. It has large ears located to the sides of its head, with red insides partly covered by tufts of fur. Its eyes are large and brown, with a small, rounded nose. Its limbs are somewhat rounded and small, and its tail is long, fluffy and incredibly white in color. It also has two large long fluffs on its head that wrap around its back. It uses its long fur as a scarf. Its fur is coated in a special oil that repels enemy attacks. Its fur feels amazing to touch, and it repels dust and prevents static electricity from building up. Cinccino and its pre-evolution are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Tail Slap}}.

==Trivia==
* Due to an error, Cinccino is unable to learn {{m|Thief}} via [[TM]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, while its pre-evolution {{p|Minccino}} does. This issue was later fixed in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

===Origin===
Cinccino is based on a {{wp|chinchilla}}. Its white "hair" is very similar in appearance to {{wp|1600–1650 in fashion#Style gallery 1600–1620|high class women's hairstyles in the early 1600s}}. The white fur draped around its neck resembles {{wp|shawl}}s, {{wp|scarf}}s and {{wp|feather boa|boas}}, possibly a reference to how chinchillas are controversially hunted for their fur.

====Name origin====
Cinccino and Chillaccino may be a combination of ''{{wp|chinchilla}}'' and ''{{wp|chino cloth}}''.

'''Minccino''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チラーミィ''' ''Chillarmy'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Cinccino}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Bianca Minccino cleaning.png|thumb|left|250px|Minccino cleaning]]
Minccino is a furry, gray chinchilla-like Pokémon with scruffs of fur on its head and neck. It has large ears on the sides of its head with red insides partly covered by tufts of fur. It has large, brown eyes and a small, dot-like nose. Its limbs are somewhat rounded and small, and its ears and tail have white tips. The tail is also long and particularly furry. This tail acts like a broom as Minccino uses it to clean its den. It also brushes another Minccino with its tail to greet it. It prefers clean habitats, and it obsesses with cleaning dirty items. It can also use its tail to perform it and its evolution's [[Signature move|signature move]], {{m|Tail Slap}}.

===Origin===
Minccino is based on a {{wp|chinchilla}}. Its tail may be based on {{wp|feather duster}}s or {{wp|broom}}s, as they use their tails to clean their dens.

====Name origin====
Minccino may be a combination of ''mini'' (referring to its minature size), ''{{wp|mink}}'' (an animal known for its fur and its use in women's clothing), or ''mince'' (to make smaller), and ''{{wp|chinchilla}}'' or ''{{wp|chino cloth}}''.

Chillarmy is a combination of ''chinchilla'' and ''charm''.

'''Minccino''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チラーミィ''' ''Chillarmy'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Cinccino}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Bianca Minccino cleaning.png|thumb|left|250px|Minccino cleaning]]
Minccino is a furry, gray chinchilla-like Pokémon with scruffs of fur on its head and neck. It has large ears on the sides of its head with red insides partly covered by tufts of fur. It has large, brown eyes and a small, dot-like nose. Its limbs are somewhat rounded and small, and its ears and tail have white tips. The tail is also long and particularly furry. This tail acts like a broom as Minccino uses it to clean its den. It also brushes another Minccino with its tail to greet it. It prefers clean habitats, and it obsesses with cleaning dirty items. It can also use its tail to perform it and its evolution's [[Signature move|signature move]], {{m|Tail Slap}}

* Minccino was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].
===Origin===
Minccino is based on a {{wp|chinchilla}}. Its tail may be based on {{wp|feather duster}}s or {{wp|broom}}s, as they use their tails to clean their dens.

====Name origin====
Minccino may be a combination of ''mini'' (referring to its minature size), ''{{wp|mink}}'' (an animal known for its fur and its use in women's clothing), or ''mince'' (to make smaller), and ''{{wp|chinchilla}}'' or ''{{wp|chino cloth}}''.

Chillarmy is a combination of ''chinchilla'' and ''charm''.

'''Audino''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タブンネ''' ''Tabunne'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Audino''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Audinite}}.

==Biology==
Audino is a bipedal, pink-and-cream Pokémon with oval, blue eyes. The top of its head, its back, and arms are pink, while the lower half of its face, body, ears are cream-colored as well as its front and fingers. The patterning of pink and cream on its chest resembles a jacket. There are three digits on its hands and two on its feet. It has a puffy, white tuft for a tail. Audino has floppy ears with thin, curled extensions on the underside. It can use these ears as radars, and it has an incredible hearing ability. The feelers on its ears act like {{wp|stethoscopes}} in that it can feel the beat of another Pokémon's heart, to assess the Pokémon's feelings and overall physical condition. The feelers are also able to determine when an Egg is close to hatching.

When Audino Mega Evolves into Mega Audino, it becomes both heavier and taller. The patterning on its stomach, now completely cream, is covered by what resembles a flared lab coat. Most of its body becomes white with pink tips in four places, one on each ear and near the edges of its "coat". Its eyes turn pink and its ears stand upright with longer, curlier feelers. Its tail becomes larger and a smaller tuft of fur is centered on its chest. Two additional, curled feelers extend from under this extra tuft of fur. White fur covers its feet with two small tufts on the heels. Mega Audino can release pulses that reduce hostility, and the secondary feelers can put those who come in contact with them into a deep sleep.<ref>http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-audino</ref>

Audino is also the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] to know {{m|Secret Power}} naturally by [[Level|leveling]] up.

==Trivia==
* Audino is available in all patches of {{DL|Phenomenon|rustling grass}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Because of its availability and its high [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|Exp. yield]], battling wild Audino in {{DL|Phenomenon|Rustling grass|rustling grass}} is a fast way for Pokémon to gain [[experience]] in generation V and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
**As all the trainers that look like a {{Tc|Furisode Girl}} in the [[Battle Chateau]] use only Audino, they can be used to perform this trick with greater effeciveness in {{g|X and Y}}.
* Audino is the only [[Generation V]] Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Audino is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 445.
* Mega Audino has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Audino seems to be based on a {{wp|rabbit}} with features of a {{wp|nurse}} or {{wp|physician}}, with its ears acting as {{wp|stethoscopes}}. The feelers on its ears also resemble a cochlea, the auditory part of the inner ear.

====Name origin====
Audino may be derived from ''audio'' and a pun on the phrase "I dunno." It may also refer to the suffix ''ino'' (which denotes ''youth'') or involve ''din'' (loud noise, referring to the fact that it has stethoscopes for ears) or ''lapin'' (a term for "rabbit").

Tabunne may be derived from 多分ね ''tabun ne'' ("maybe") or 多聞 tabun ("many are heard"). It may also derive from 耳たぶ ''mimitabu'' (earlobe).

'''Regigigas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジギガス''' ''Regigigas'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

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

It comes to life only when {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are gathered. Therefore, it requires the three to be in the player's [[party]] to awaken it within the [[Snowpoint Temple]], [[Twist Mountain]], or [[Island Cave]], where it sleeps. It still appears if they are absent but does not awaken, causing the player to regard it as a statue.

It is the [[trio master]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[Legendary golems]].

==Biology==
Regigigas is a large, white, golem Pokémon with seven black dot-like "eyes" arranged in a specific pattern. The dot pattern is Regigigas's way of showing its anger: its eyes glow red when it is mad. It has six spots that are apart from its eyes, which seem to be gemstones. These gemstones seem to represent the Regis, with the red gems representing {{p|Regirock}}, the blue gems representing {{p|Regice}} and the silver gems representing {{p|Registeel}}. It has long arms, with three fairly human-like white fingers, and short legs. It has large yellow bands on its shoulders and wrists, with a sloping section on its chest that appears to be its head also being yellow. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has moss growing in its back and feet, which may indicate it has been asleep for a long time. Legends say that its colossal strength enables it to move continents. It can communicate via telepathy.

Regigigas is decent at crafting as it is capable of making golems of inanimate objects and bring them to life. Regigigas is capable of controlling these [[Legendary golems]], even if they already belong to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It can also survive extreme conditions as it is capable of working with high temperature magma, ({{tt|1300-2400°F|700-1300°C}}) as well as extremely cold ice ({{tt|-328°F|-200°C}}). When Regigigas is disturbed from its slumber, it goes on a rampage and shoots powerful beams. When it is befriended, however, it is calm and gentle, as seen in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''. It is able to crush targets by using its [[signature move|signature move]], {{m|Crush Grip}}. Regigigas can handle any terrain.

==In the anime==
[[File:Regigigas anime.png|right|thumb|250px|Regigigas in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Regigigas appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, it lives in a temple in the mountains of {{si|Gracidea}}. It had been asleep for centuries, for so long that moss began to grow on its body. However, when [[Zero]] entered the [[Reverse World]] and began shattering pillars of ice within it, the glacier in front of Regigigas' temple suffered catastrophic explosions and began moving. This disturbed the great titan's slumber, rousing it into action. When [[Dawn's Buneary]] and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} failed to stop the glacier with the help of a large group of wild Pokémon, Regigigas appeared in the command of a herd of dozens of {{p|Mamoswine}} and together, they began pushing on the glacier to hold it back. Regigigas returned to its temple at the end of the movie, where it is seen using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on {{TRT}} during the credits.

Another Regigigas appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship]]'' at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. [[J]] wanted to steal it so it was rudely awakened by her. It went on a rampage after, using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on practically anything. It even used {{m|Confuse Ray}} to control [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s set of [[Legendary golems]] to help it. At the end of the episode, it healed Brandon and his golems using {{m|Hidden Power}} to restore them from their petrification. It was then taken back to the temple to return to its slumber.

===Minor appearances===
A Regigigas appeared as part of Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', alongside Giratina.

A Regigigas appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

A Regigigas is set to appear in [[M18]], along with the [[creation trio]], the [[Tao trio]], the [[Eon duo]], {{p|Arceus}}, and {{p|Lugia}}.

{{main|Reg}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], its silhouette was first seen inside the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in ''[[PS400|Bogging Down Quagsire]]''. When {{adv|Platinum}}, [[Maylene]], and [[Candice]] were about to freeze in a blizzard following their defeat at the hands of [[Jupiter]], it was the one who carried them to safety. Whilst in her trance, Platinum unconsciously rolled over an empty [[Poké Ball]] to the creature, and it ended up in her bag before choosing to join {{adv|Diamond}} in an effort to stop {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s clash. It was later named "Reg."

==Trivia==
* Due to {{a|Slow Start|its Ability}} weakening it, Regigigas has more in common with {{p|Slaking}} than it does with other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. They share the {{t|Normal}} type, the same base stat total of 670, the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat of 160, and [[Ability|Abilities]] that limit their power.
** Regigigas and {{p|Slaking}} also have the highest [[base stats|base stat]] in {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* It is the only Pokémon who can learn [[TM]]s that cannot learn {{TM|17|Protect}} or {{TM|44|Rest}}. This is probably to prevent people from countering its own Ability by avoiding damage or healing itself.
* Regigigas is the only one of the [[Legendary golems]] not to have its type in its name.
** Regigigas is also the only one of the Legendary golems that does not use the remix of the Legendary golem battle theme in {{v2|Platinum}}. Instead, it uses the Legendary battle theme, much like in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
*** In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, however, the remix of the Legendary golem battle theme is used.
* In Platinum, by hacking to obtain Cherish Balls, it is possible to trick the game into opening [[Rock Peak Ruins|Rock Peak]], [[Iceberg Ruins|Iceberg]], and [[Iron Ruins]]: by catching the in-game Regigigas in a Cherish Ball, the game thinks the Regigigas was obtained at a Nintendo event.
* In [[Generation IV]], Regigigas is the only Pokémon required to acquire the [[Diploma]] that cannot be obtained without the use of [[Generation III]] games or an event, even with all Generation IV titles. This limitation occurs because Regigigas cannot be obtained without the use of the other Legendary golems, which in turn cannot be obtained without either importing them from Generation III or obtaining them in Platinum with an event Regigigas.
* Regigigas is the tallest {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Regigigas is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.

====Name origin====
Regigigas is a combination of ''regis'', Latin for ''royal'', and γίγας ''gigas'', Greek for ''giant''.

'''Vespiquen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビークイン''' ''Beequen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from a [[gender|female]] {{p|Combee}} starting at [[level]] 21.

==Biology==
Vespiquen is a bee-like Pokémon with yellow and black striped abdomen resembling an elegant ballroom gown. Underneath the expansive abdomen are honeycomb-like cells that serve as a nest for baby Combee. However, it appears to have a slender, more insect-like abdomen in the centermost cell, which is inconspicuous as the ‘dress’ usually obstructs the view of it. Vespiquen has black, skinny arms with two orange claws and flies with a pair of relatively small wings on its back. Its yellow upper bodies are a nearly perfect sphere and its waist is black and slender. A curved line on its back between its shoulders separates its thorax and waist. Vespiquen's orange faces have intimidating, red eyes, oversized, yellow, protruding mandibles, and a red gem on their forehead. The top portion of its head is similar to a headpiece with yellow and black horn-like projections, resembling a hairstyle historically favored by early medieval-period English queens. Vespiquen is a female-only species.

Vespiquen is a queen of a hive of {{p|Combee}}, controlling it and protecting it, as well as giving birth to young Combee. A Vespiquen is far more powerful than its followers, and will only take action if its Combee are unable to protect the hive. If outsiders prove themselves to it by defending its hive, it may repay these acts of kindness with a reward. It feeds on flowers to make honey. It then use it to bring up other Combee. Being a queen, it can command other Combee in order to use {{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}, her [[signature move|signature moves]].

==Trivia==
* Unlike {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, none of Hitmontop's names in any language derive from famous people.
* Hitmontop can learn more [[priority]] moves than any other Pokémon, with 14 {{cat|increased priority moves}} and two decreased priority moves.
* Though Hitmontop shares the [[Ability]] {{a|Steadfast}} with {{p|Tyrogue}}, a Steadfast Tyrogue cannot evolve into a Hitmontop with the same Ability, as Steadfast is Tyrogue's second Ability and Hitmontop's Hidden Ability.

===Origin===
Hitmontop is based on a {{wp|top}} and a practitioner of {{wp|capoeira}}. The fact that Tyrogue's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} must be equal in order for it to evolve into Hitmontop is akin to how a top must be in equilibrium to remain upright.

====Name origin====
Hitmontop is a combination of ''hit'', ''monster'', and ''{{wp|top}}'' (a reference to ''spinning tops'' and how it fights, by spinning on its head). The name is also related to {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, both of which have been parallel evolutions to it since [[Generation II]].

Kapoerer is derived from ''{{wp|capoeira}}'', a Brazilian martial art that often involves spinning one's legs in the air.

'''Chansey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラッキー''' ''Lucky'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Happiny}} when [[level]]ed up holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Oval Stone}} during the [[Time#Day|day]] and evolves into {{p|Blissey}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
Chansey is a pink, ovoid Pokémon. There are three hair-like growths on the sides of its head, tipped with a darker shade of pink.

It is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Chansey lays several nutritious eggs every day, which it carefully carries in its pouch. A kindhearted Pokémon, it will share these eggs with injured people and Pokémon. The eggs become more delicious if Chansey is raised with love and care. Chansey is extremely rare in the wild, and is said to bring good luck and happiness to those who manage to catch it. It is more commonly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban settings.}} Along with {{p|Blissey}}, its evolution, Chansey is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Soft-Boiled}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Chansey was originally known as "Lucky", which also happens to be its romanized Japanese name.
* Chansey shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Exeggcute}}. They are both known as the Egg Pokémon.
* Chansey has the highest base {{stat|HP}} of all Pokémon that can [[Evolution|evolve]].
* Since breeding was introduced in Generation II, even a Chansey newly hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} already has an egg in its pouch. The same oddity occurs with {{p|Kangaskhan}} (which hatches with a baby in its pouch) and {{p|Happiny}} (which hatches with a rock in its pouch).
** Its {{v2|Platinum}} Pokédex entry states that it lays eggs, confirming that Pokémon are able to do so (as it has been mentioned that nobody has seen Pokémon lay eggs). However, these eggs do not hatch Chansey or Happiny and are instead consumed for their high nutritional value.
* Excluding {{p|Arceus}}, Chansey and its evolution family have the most in-game items associated with them, with four: the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Lucky Punch}}, {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Lucky Egg}}, {{DL|Incense|Luck Incense}}, and {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Oval Stone}}.
* Chansey ties with {{p|Happiny}} for the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} of all Pokémon, both at five.

===Origin===
Chansey's tendency to carry eggs in a pouch is much like a {{wp|monotreme}} or {{wp|marsupial}}, but may also simply be based on a general concept of females and motherhood. As the Pokédex mentions its frequent laying of nutritious eggs, Chansey may also be based on {{wp|chicken}}s or other {{wp|poultry}}.

====Name origin====
Chansey is a corruption of ''chance'' and ''chancy''. It may refer to Chansey's rarity and/or the chance of a successful catch.

Lucky is literally ''lucky'', for the same possible reason.

'''Hitmonlee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サワムラー''' ''Sawamular'') is a {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Attack}} is higher than its {{stat|Defense}}. It is one of {{p|Tyrogue}}'s [[Hitmons|final forms]], the others being {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

==Biology==
Hitmonlee is a humanoid Pokémon with an ovoid body. Lacking a distinct neck and head, its upper torso has almond-shaped eyes with black rings around them and appears to lack a nose and mouth. Primarily brown, it has cream-colored, segmented arms and legs, with three fingers and three clawed toes respectively. The soles of its feet and its ankles have circular, yellow markings. It is an exclusively male species with no female counterpart.

Hitmonlee's legs freely contract and stretch similar to a coiled spring. This flexibility allows Hitmonlee to run with lengthy strides and gives it greater reach for its kicks. Its excellent sense of balance enables it to kick in succession from any position. Its skilled kicking allows it to use both {{m|Rolling Kick}} and {{m|Mega Kick}}, its [[Signature move|signature moves]]. After battling, it rubs down its legs to relax the tight muscles. Rare in the wild, it is primarily found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Barry Hitmonlee.png|right|250px|thumb|Hitmonlee in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Hitmonlee first appeared in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. {{TRT}} stole him from a man named [[Giant]] in order to compete in the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. The Kicking Pokémon defeated [[Brock's Geodude]], and {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} (by cheating) and lost fair and square to [[Ash's Primeape]].

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', one was part of a group of {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon that roamed the streets of the city as a gang.

[[Shiro]], a challenger to the dojo in ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' used a Hitmonlee.

In ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]'', {{tc|Black Belt}} [[Kiyo]] owned one and fought alongside him to break a rolling boulder. He later used Hitmonlee in battle to attempt to capture a wild {{p|Tyrogue}}.

One of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' has a Hitmonlee.

A Hitmonlee was used during the preliminaries of the Hoenn League by {{ho|Gilbert}} in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''. Gilbert's Hitmonlee lost to [[Ash's Pikachu]].

[[Master Hamm]] used a Hitmonlee against his son [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]], a cook, in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]''. If the Dojo Master won, he would retire, and Kyle would have to give up his shop for the Dojo. If Kyle won, it would all stay the same. {{Ash}}, and {{an|May}} ended up taking the place of the two.

==Trivia==
* Hitmonlee and {{p|Hitmonchan}} are the only Pokémon not previously related through an evolution family that later gained a shared {{p|Tyrogue|pre-evolution}}.
* Hitmonlee has had more [[signature move]]s than any other Pokémon, with four: {{m|Mega Kick}}, {{m|Jump Kick}}, {{m|High Jump Kick}}, and {{m|Rolling Kick}}.
* Hitmonlee is the only Pokémon with a base {{stat|Speed}} of 87.

===Origin===
Hitmonlee may be a personification of {{wp|taekwondo}}, a sport that focuses on kick attacks. Due to its lack of a head, Hitmonlee bears resemblance to the mythical {{wp|headless men}} and the Hindu demon {{wp|Kabandha}}. Based on its Japanese name and kicking attribute, Hitmonlee may also represent Japanese kickboxer {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}. From the Japanese names of its Abilities—{{a|Limber|Flexible}}, {{a|Reckless|Life-Risking}} and {{a|Unburden|Acrobatics}}—Hitmonlee may also be based on an {{wp|acrobatics|acrobat}}.

====Name origin====
Hitmonlee is a combination of ''hit'', ''monster'', and ''Lee'' (a reference to {{wp|Bruce Lee}}). The name is also related to {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}, both of which are parallel evolutions to it as of [[Generation II]].

Sawamular is derived from {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}, a famous kickboxer.

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[trade]]d.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, a Kadabra holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will still evolve when traded between games.

==Biology==
Kadabra is a primarily yellow, humanoid Pokémon. It has two large, pointed ears on top of its head, a red star on its forehead, and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout. Its eyes are deep-set and narrow. Extending from its snout are two mustache-like tufts of fur, with males having longer mustaches than females. Kadabra's torso is segmented with bulky shoulders, a thick, brown chest, and a small abdomen marked by three red, wavy lines. Attached to the Pokémon's abdomen is a large, thick tail encircled with a brown band near its base. Its arms are thin with brown elbows, and end in three-fingered hands with white claws. Its legs have prominent knees and large, three-toed feet, also ending in white claws. Kadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon, which amplifies its telekinetic powers. It is able to bend its spoon to use {{m|Kinesis}}, its [[signature move]].

Kadabra emits alpha waves strong enough to induce headaches, and can even cause clocks to run backwards, machines to malfunction, and delicate devices to cease functioning altogether. When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual. Kadabra can double the amplitude of its alpha waves when holding its spoon, and can increase it even further by closing its eyes. The waves increase further in strength the more danger Kadabra faces. All of Kadabra's brain cells work in unison while it uses its powers. Kadabra lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Kadabra was originally known as ''Pocus''.
* Kadabra has not been printed as a {{Trading Card Game}} card since the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. This may be due to the desire of Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories not to provoke {{DL|Pokémon controversy|Uri Geller}}'s litigious nature.
** For possibly the same reason, Kadabra has not made any anime appearances since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' except the small cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''.
** Kadabra also did not appear in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, whereas {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} did.

===Origin===
Kadabra is based on magicians and {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}s. It also shares similarities with {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|fox}}es, two animals mythologically tied to magic. The symbols on Kadabra's forehead and abdomen appear to be references to {{wp|Zener cards}}, a small deck of symbols used in experiments to test for {{wp|extrasensory perception}} and {{wp|clairvoyance}} in the early 1930s.

====Name origin====
Kadabra is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. It may also derive from the Spanish word ''cabra'' (goat).

Yungerer is a corruption of {{wp|Uri Geller}} (with リ ''ri'' replaced by the visually similar ン ''n''), who claims to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, as the Japanese names of the Abra line are based on famous mystics. As a result, Geller {{wp|Uri Geller#Copyright claims|attempted to sue}} [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] for using his likeness in a character, but lost.

== Hope you're not working on classifying "[[side-effects]]" ==

Imma start work on the talk page to make a parseable table. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] ([[User talk:Raijinili|talk]]) 03:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
:I'm currently just going through all the moves (alphabetically) to figure out which ones have side effects. I don't mind you helping out.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:49, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
::I'm up to Powder Snow >.>. I'm doing it a different way. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] ([[User talk:Raijinili|talk]]) 04:18, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Recoil, user-stat lowering (Close Combat), and draining are not "additional effects". They might be called primary effects. Additional effects are generally those that are affected by {{a|Sheer Force}}, {{a|Shield Dust}}, and {{a|Serene Grace}}, and none of those are. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] ([[User talk:Raijinili|talk]]) 22:09, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
:[[Talk:Additional effect#Uh|Replied on the talk page of Additional effects]].--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:38, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

== Tacopill ==

Force Fire, Tacopill had made more than three userspace edits, will you warn this user about the userspace policy? [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 02:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

== Old spellings for older moves ==

Force Fire, will you undo my edits since you said we are allowed to use new spellings in the anime, because we do not need old spellings. [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 03:18, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
:I would like to know why you yourself can't do the task. You can simply undo them by going to the history tab, find your edit and click the undo button next to it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:24, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

== Archive protection ==

Hey, can you protect my talk page archive ({{ut|Funktastic~!/Archive 2}}}? Thanks in advance. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 08:01, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
:Done :).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:04, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

== Item maniac in Generation VI ==

Force Fire, do an item maniac make a return in Generation VI or not? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 10:28, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
:I wouldn't know, I don't have the game. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:02, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

==Meta game trivia==
''[[User:Force Fire/Trivia Policy/Species#Unnotable|This sort of trivia are unnotable as we are a wiki, not a strategy guide.]]'' While this is usually practiced on other pages, there a few notable exceptions… 18 of them, to be exact. Each type's {{DL|Fairy (type)|Characteristics}} section is basically a miniature Smogon, complete with popular moves, strategies, and evaluation of metagame effectiveness. Much of these Characteristics are theories based on metagame critique. To put it simply: Why are these here? Moves aren't analyzed like this, Pokémon pages don't get anything like this. So why the types, which on their own don't really provide much of an education into the metagame? Sorry to bug you, but I felt like raising the question. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 08:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
:This is something I've been wondering myself too, but never really bothered to bring up. I'll mention this to the other staff members and I'll have an answer afterwards.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 01:58, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

==Mewtwo edit warring==
There have been 10 edits on [[Mewtwo (Pokémon)#Biology|Mewtwo's Bio]] since yesterday arguing about who created it in the games, anime, etc. Help us, Forcey-wan Firobi; you're our only hope. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 19:56, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
:Anyone who's seen the movie or played the games should now who created Mewtwo in their respected mediums. A group of Scientist for the anime, and an unknown scientist in the games.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 01:58, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

==Team Plasma==
What was wrong with Team Plasma's article? Likewise that of the Team Plasma grunts?

[[User:Jdogno4|Jdogno4]] ([[User talk:Jdogno4|talk]]) 09:07, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
:There was nothing wrong with the pages in the first place. You just simply made unnecessary changes, there was nothing wrong with the grammar.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:11, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Oy, what's the idea with locking the article page. {{unsigned|Jdogno4}}
:I locked it as you keep adding those unnecessary changes. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Jdogno4#Re:What.27s_the_problem.3F Did you read your talk page?] cause it looks like you didn't. I will not repeat what is said on your talk page, as that pretty much sums it up.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:10, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

==Archives editing and uploading==
Looks like the Archives are once again locked due of upgrading the site, and I can't upload WTP_XY003.png picture that I found it. http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/WTP_XY003_zps0a790145.png.html Would you add this picture, so I can add it on the episode XY003 and ''Who's That Pokémon?'' pages? Pikachu65 10:22, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:Not sure if the archives are safe to edit/upload. Not sure if the upgrade is done yet. So just wait for a few days.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:13, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
::Right. I found this! Can you tell me if it's an error or not? 'Cause I'm going to add it. http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/SOFCJ-RawsPocketMonstersXY-09TVO1280x720x264AACmp4_snapshot_1557_20140206_141610_zps71125d92.png.html I've also noticed Bonnie and Serena were imitating Caterpie and Swadloon. We can't add this because it's a waste of time. Pikachu65 13:22, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:::So... what's the error? You can't just expect me to magically know what I'm looking for.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:37, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::::Alright now, it's Clemont's teeth, you can see the colors of Afternoon, right? And they are white, not in the colorization of Afternoon. You know what I mean. I guess adding Bonnie and Serena imitating Caterpie and Swadloon would be added, huh? Pikachu65 13:41, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::Ehh, for me, it's not much of a big deal. So I'd say no. Also, not sure if you want to put the Serena and Bonnie thing as an error or if it is a trivial thing, because either way, it's not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:46, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::::::Well, Clemont's teeth error would be notable (I mean white color in the colorization of afternoon?), but Bonnie and Serena imitating Caterpie and Swadloon would be added to the trivia, so it will do a trick here. Pikachu65 13:49, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::::Like I said, not a big deal. The Serena and Bonnie thing is not notable. The only reason we mention Pikachu doing imitations is because it is a series running thing that has been happening for a while. Bonnie and Serena doing it in one episode is not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:52, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::::::::Yes! They were doing this for fun, that's all. So this one http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/SOFCJ-RawsPocketMonstersXY-09TVO1280x720x264AACmp4_snapshot_1557_20140206_141610_zps71125d92.png.html is not a big deąl, really. Pikachu65 13:54, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

== Pokemon Conquest Moves ==

Hello. Not long before I posted this, I was adding tables to the various moves used in Pokemon conquest. However, I happened to find a website where they use images right from the game to show the area of effect moves have, such as [http://veekun.com/dex/media/chrome/conquest-move-ranges/tile-1-ahead-knockback.png this one here]. Would it be preferred for me to stick to the tables being used now, or to upload these images and use them instead? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 21:14, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:Try bringing this up to {{u|Kogoro}}, as she's the Archive's Editor in Chief, so her input would be important. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:13, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
::Will do. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 04:42, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

== Error Images ==

For the error images, is the staff aware about any of the pages with more than five error images? That way, if they are, I won't put in any tags telling them which page has over five. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 02:51, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
:Considering the fact there is over 800 episode episode page, I don't think the staff are keeping track of how many images are there on the page. We trust that users will follow the five image per episode rule. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:23, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
::Ok. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 03:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

== Edits ==

I will resume lurking and the occasional spelling/grammar edit, then, if that's okay with you. As I come from a large wiki, where we have our own little cliques, seeing a new person being bold tends to ruffle a lot of feathers, and I haven't really seen a "be bold" policy here. Thus, since there is none, then I will stop being bold and resume the occasional maintenance edit.

The confusion resulted from the userpage being displayed and basically a message asking for edits. I supplied what information I could, section by section, as opening a very large page in its entirety is very confusing. It is much easier to keep track of what's done by working by section, and that is where Preview doesn't help (which I used every single edit, including this one).

I admit that I didn't see the in-use tag when I started. However, when it was asked on the Pokémon-Amie talk page for edits, and I felt I should add what I could, then the message was mixed. The task would have been very simple; if a page is not public yet, don't display it.

That being said, and my own experience with cliques, I can see where I'm not wanted and will be returning to lurking. Wookieepedia needs my attention more, anyway. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 08:00, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

== New Pokémon ==

Have you seen Hoopa and Volcanion as well? I was thinking we should create sandboxes for them too. I would do it myself, but unfortunately I have no idea how those templates work.

From what I've gathered, Volcanion is Fire/Water type, and Hoopa is Psychic/Ghost. I found their level 100 move sets, abilities, and types [http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/60943/t1957245-hoopa-volcanion-diancies-leaked-stats-abilities-types/ here]. I'm not sure about the accuracy of the leak, but they ''are'' pictures of a real 3DS, so I assume they are pretty accurate. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 03:00, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
:Until they are confirmed to be real, they are unconfirmed. We only have Diancie because it was just revealed in a corocoro magazine.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:03, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
::Alrighty, then. Thanks for your time! --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 03:06, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
Also, a small question: How do I make a sandbox page? --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 03:09, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
:You can create it by making: [[User:FireGambit/Sandbox]].--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:13, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
I'm a little confused about what is found 'notable' in trivia. Would you mind explaining? --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 04:22, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
:That's actually something I'm unsure of myself, as everyone has their own views on what is notable. [[User:Force Fire/Trivia Policy|I've written an unofficial policy]] that kinds of narrows down what is notable and what isn't based on my experience with trivia. In regards to your Smogon mascot trivia, fanon aren't really considered trivia.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:39, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

== Image Upload Issues ==

Hi, mate. Long time user and occasional editor. Just trying to upload pictures of the 2005 Subway promotional toys and I am being told that I do not have the permissions to do so. Cheers. -- [[User:Lachynorms|Lachynorms]] ([[User talk:Lachynorms|talk]]) 02:31, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
:New comments go at the bottom by the way. Also, you can upload images via [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page the Archives]. Don't know if there is a number of edits you have to make in order to upload an image, but I'm pretty sure there isn't. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:46, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
::Sorry, mate, first time I've posted on someone's talk page. :) Yeah, I've attempted uploading the image [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Upload there] but an upload error stating 'You do not have permission to create new pages' appears. The images would go a long way to completing that page so I'd like to get 'em on there! Cheers, mate. --[[User:Lachynorms|Lachynorms]] ([[User talk:Lachynorms|talk]]) 02:56, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
:::Have you been email confirmed?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:14, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
::::Yep, although four years ago, mind you. I attempted with some other images to no avail. Quite unsure what to make of it. --[[User:Lachynorms|Lachynorms]] ([[User talk:Lachynorms|talk]]) 03:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::Looks like you do have to make some edits to the archive in order to upload. Not sure what exactly you can edit there, as the archives are only used for uploading images. Your account must also be on the archives for a considerate amount of time, which I'm sure you have that done as you've been for over 4 years.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:29, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

==XY016 error==

Wait. I know it's not an error, but please take a look on this for a second. http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/Keroromaniac/media/Keroro%20Gunsou%20and%20animes/XY016_error_2_zps685be966.png.html. Pikachu65 13:34, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
:Eh, I feel that is a bit wrong. Her nose and eyelashes appear to be too high on her face when it should be lower as she is facing Bonnie. It's her hair, not part of her face.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:42, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

::Seriously? Then put the delete on it that is not an error. Thanks for your advice. Pikachu65 13:44, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

::::I guess that could be an error. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:11, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

:::::Really? Its eyes? Pikachu65 14:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
::::::I'm not saying it isn't an error. I'm saying it could be an error. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:39, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

:::::::Aha, so when it's closing its eyes, this could be an error. They used different color on its mask. I thought its mask is always black... Pikachu65 14:51, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

== [[Diggersby (Pokémon)#Name origin]] ==

As one who was skeptical of {{u|Relicant}}'s reasonings in [[Talk:Chesnaught (Pokémon)#Knight]] (and as a staff member), I'm curious to know what you think of Relicant's [[Talk:Diggersby (Pokémon)#Name origin|arguments for "rood"]] as an origin for {{p|Diggersby}}'s Japanese name (Horūdo).

I do not believe there is enough substance to support "rood" as a possibility, but I'm sure Relicant wouldn't just let me remove it (and that would lead nowhere), so I need some authority to judge this and give it a solid resolution. If you (and/or other staff) judge that, thin though rood's substance may be, its possibility still cannot be absolutely denied, then I'll be happy enough to accept that. I really think it's much too unlikely, though...
[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:19, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
:Rood is also a measurement of land, which is supported by its Ground typing. Whilst I think it is a stretch, it does fit in a way (again, Ground typing). Even if it is an obscure word.

Is there any discussion ''anywhere'' on merging these two pages? There is no spoiler left. They are now revealed in North America to be the same person. It's time to merge rather than try to protect spoilers for those who might not watch it in the next five years.

:Because they would also be good choices. Yes, it's asking for the best, but we can't just ignore the fact that other choices would also make good choices. Also, having the "most resistance and advantages" is akin to having "better stats".

== Pokemon Conquest Moves ==

I'd like to request [[User:Drake Clawfang/Sandbox|this template]] be implimented as template for Pokemon Conquest moves. Currently as I'm editing it involves the mass copying and editing of the table directly, which this template greatly simplifies. Actual usage of it could further by simplified by making the three colors used in the template into color templates like "<nowiki>{{Steel color dark}}</nowiki>", etc, so in the template fields I could put "hit/move/push" instead of the color codes, but as-is it's perfectly functional as seen [[User:Drake Clawfang/Sandbox2|here]].

On a related note, would the website "Veekun" by acceptable for reliable information? Their database on the game's moves provides base accuracy, chance of secondary effects taking hold, and base power, stats that are not-viewable in-game. I'd like to add this extra info but if the website isn't suitable as a source for this I'm fine to leave it out.

== Your [[Starter Pokémon]] edit ==

Would you care to respond to the comment(s) at [[Talk:Starter Pokémon#Kalos secondary triangle]] regarding your removal of the trivia point? In short, I think you're using a baselessly narrow definition of what makes a "triangle". There's no good reason to be any more strict than "advantage"/"disadvantage", and that makes a perfect triangle. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:37, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
:I already stated in the edit summary. The triangle isn't based of Advantage and Disadvantages, it is based of Super Effectiveness and Resistance.

::Why should I care what that site says? It's not an official site. Everyone's definition of "triangle" (as regards this subject) is artificial, and yours/that site's are based on one ''single'' data point: the Water/Fire/Grass "triangle". That is ''MASSIVELY'' flawed.
::"Dealing 2x damage" and "receiving 1/2 damage" can be rephrased as "having an offensive advantage" and "having a defensive advantage", and you cannot tell me with any sort of certainty that that is the wrong interpretation. (Or if you're looking at it as "A deals 2x damage to B and B deals 1/2 damage to A", it's "A has an offensive advantage over B and B has an offensive disadvantage against A". Same difference.)
::Look at the facts. The Dark/Psychic/Fighting secondary types are ''so'' close to the ''exact'' same relationship ("triangle") as the Water/Fire/Grass primary types. Would you wager that that was not intentional? Would you actually wager that they were not going for a secondary "triangle"? Who are you to say that it doesn't form a "triangle" when they've rather apparently made the decision that "offensive advantage/defensive advantage" is the rule of their "triangles" instead of the trivially specific "deals 2x damage/receives 1/2 damage"?

I think I've proven by now I'm not a troublesome editor, and want to figure that out before the lockdown so I don't have edits waiting to be made, or have to request others to make edits on rarely viewed talk pages. I can even handle edit requests myself during the time. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:02, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Because you have deleted a section on Ash's Hawlucha's talk page that was created by a sockpuppet, would you like me to delete a section in my talk page that was created by the same sockpuppet?

:We don't discuss the "power" of Ash's Pokemon because it is very opinionated, which is something we don't want on Bulbapedia.

== Fletchinder ==

Extremely not agree. The spoiler has been revealed in the movie, and the article links to Fletchinder already. How to explain why Ash has a Fletchinder in the movie? [[User:KyleRGiggs|Raymond]] 06:09, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
:To me, I am very extremely against the move until [[XY036]] airs, as the Fletchinder in the movie could be a new one other than the Fletchling i.e. Ash has both Fletchling and Fletchinder at the same time. However, it has been moved. [[User:KyleRGiggs|Raymond]] 06:14, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
::The more important reason is, there is a Fletchling in [[XY036]]. [[User:KyleRGiggs|Raymond]] 06:15, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
:The episode where Fletchling evolved hasn't aired yet, thus we don't change it yet. The only pages needing change from Flectchling to Fletchinder are the main "Ash's Fletchling"'s page and its redirects, the Ash's Pokemon template and Fletchling's VA page.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:58, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
::I am going to presume that Fletchinder is newly caught other than evolve from the Fletchling now (Of course I know that it evolves in XY036), as XY036 doesn't air. However my words shows only debut at M17 only, not telling if it is caught or evolve. That's what I want to do before. It seems more fair. [[User:KyleRGiggs|Raymond]] 07:06, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
:::This is the first time ever that Ash has an evolved from in the movie earlier than it's evolution episode airs. This scenario may unlikely happen again at the future. So what I will do a template in my userspace to show how to express evolve from is actually the same or not. [[User:KyleRGiggs|Raymond]] 07:15, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
::::Just wait for a few more days... honestly...--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:31, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
:::::Well, it is very opinionated to assume that the Fletchinder in the movie is evolve from the Fletchling. I now hereby listing what happened for Fletchling/Fletchinder or not.
:::::*Yes: Ash has a Fletchling in the TV series.
:::::*Yes: Ash has a Fletchinder in the movie.
:::::*No: Ash's Fletchling evolved into Fletchinder.
:::::Objectively, it is only known that Ash has a Fletchling in the anime at this moment and a Fletchinder in the movie, but the evolution is not yet confirmed. If [[XY024]] airs and the anime running in the same period, the debut of Fletchinder would be not at this Thursday but the following Thursday already. This is not the problem of few days only already. [[User:KyleRGiggs|Raymond]] 07:45, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
::::::... which is exactly why we wait for the episode to air to confirm it...--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:49, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
:::::::Well, for me, I'd express it as "Ash's Fletchinder is a Pokemon which debuted in M17, but the catch is not yet seen in the TV series. The article written at the following is just assumed by evolve from his Fletchling." It is more fair for the readers who did not watch the movie but watch the last episode of TV series. [[User:KyleRGiggs|Raymond]] 07:58, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
::::::::That would imply that Fletchinder and Fletchling aren't the same Pokemon. If readers don't want to be spoiled, they would avoid the page and an page relating to it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:12, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
:::::::::That is not palliative. Someone only watched the TV anime would ask, where is Fletchling? Then how could we answer them? By the way, this issue should not only be discuss by ourselves. Shall we take it to the open area? [[User:KyleRGiggs|Raymond]] 09:40, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

== Primal Groudon ==

I think Primal Groudon needs a "Type Effectiveness Chart" for its ground-fire typing.{{unsigned|Elephant1}}

== Light of Ruin ==

Can we finally confirm [[User:Relicant/Light_of_Ruin_%28move%29|this]] and move it to the mainspace? Serebii confirms it, and there are Youtube videos on it.

While it's speculation to think we'll get this Floette someday as a Mystery Gift, but clearly when it exists it already knows or can learn this move. Thus it would be important to note that it (the move) cannot be legitimately obtained and used by anyone at this time. Though I wonder if it will show up in Hoenn; that would be cool. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:40, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
:Sorry for the late response, there was an internet outage in my area (apparently). As you know, Serebii is in no way an official source, and so are countless YouTube videos. I know it's a pain having us say "wait until it is officially confirmed" and "If we can't replicate it , it isn't confirmed", but it's the rules. But hey, if people could wait for Diancie, I'm sure people can wait for this... right?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 00:59, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

:I believe that's okay. Though place a spoiler tag before the summary as the episode hasn't been dubbed and those in the west probably wouldn't want to be spoiled or anything (not like viewing the page is spoiler enough).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:34, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

== "Unneeded redirect page" ==

If you take a minute to do [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=zam&go=Go a search for zam], you'll find the mediawiki search returns no results, except for the obviously unrelated Zap. As there is literally no downside to having a redirect for Zam, and an obvious upside, what is your logic in deleting it? The entire point of redirects is to speed up the process of finding a page. Deleting it slows down that process. "Zam" is an incredibly common nickname for a single pokemon that has existed since gen 1 - I can't see a single reason why you would delete that redirect (let alone speedily delete it with no discussion or even bringing it to the notice of the editor, which is poor wiki etiquette). -[[User:Auron|Auron]] 09:15, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
:Redirects like these are for common ''spelling errors'', not common nicknames. I didn't feel the need to discuss it since it was very obvious that the redirect was not needed under the criteria I had just stated.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:35, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

The Kalos Trivia just removed is actually true. Maybe I should of worded it differently, because I was including Gym Leaders (and as the articles such as Indigo League etc. included the Gym Leaders, I didn't see the need to directly state Gym Leaders AND Elite Four AND Champions). Sinnoh has 6 women and 7 men, and Unova has 10 men in BW, 7 men in B2W2 and 6 women in BW and 6 in B2W2, meaning Kalos is the only female dominant one. --[[User:S2daam|--samm :D]] 12:10, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
:Ah, though you meant just the Elite 4 + Champion. Also, I made a mistake with Sinnoh, Lucian's a guy not a girl. Silly me. You're right though, all together, Kalos is female dominant.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:26, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

== Re: Success ==

I'm sorry for saying the things I do, as you are not even a member of ProjectVA, but how can I not when you look at the story in full perspective? The whole reasoning for Jo the Marten's "Unknown" label simply equated to "she's not Lisa Ortiz," which was not only clear as day to begin with, but also something that, conversely, remained untouched for nearly a decade if for no other reason than a lack of proper research on a fundamental level. The answer was right in front of you the entire time, but alas, the site's mantra kills the premise of user-submitted content in this category - the very foundation of this site - so all the staff involved in that area of the site only really succeed in doing in this area was putting a bag on their head and pretend to be invisible so they wouldn't get in trouble by their hypothetical parents/guardians. It's a hypocritical practice that only keeps them locked in the darkness, and this whole incident only goes to show how stubborn they are in turning a trivial matter into a critical mass due to nothing more than a false disposition.

Fortunately, some of us still believe in our own power. And that is what makes this so worthy to discuss.

I don't need to prove anything for you personally, however. You have demonstrated time and again to be this site's impenetrable defensive line, the white blood cell in their system, and you do a very good job of that. Despite our confrontations I don't bare any grudge against you. Even so, I feel obligated to play the role of muckraker here when one such as myself can easily see through the flaws of its design made by user and admin alike. I pretty much have it down to a science now.

For whatever reason you have to follow me everywhere, just know that I will never criticize you in retaliation. I am much too old to be playing that childish game.

If you must know why I didn't go after this personal example, it's because I, too, have a life. Also, my efforts were made in contacting Hollingshead instead, as well as other VAs in other works. Additionally, I had heard GamerGeek had asked Tara about this as well, so I did not particularly need to contact her myself at this time. The situation was already in good hands, you see. [[User:Rosebr10|Rosebr10]] ([[User talk:Rosebr10|talk]]) 12:07, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
:So... you know our policy then? So... why are you complaining? I have said time and time again, find a source that isn't credits or playing by ear. That is my main point. But you seem to be unable to understand that. "The answer is right in front of you" is you basically saying that it is in the credits.
:"Unknown" just mean that we have no idea and that someone should go look that up. The only reason why ''I'm'' not doing anything regarding finding VA is because I don't feel comfortable doing so.
:I wouldn't mind if you (or anyone in that matter) was going around getting sources. But stop going on about "X sounds like Y so it must be Z" or "It says X in the credits so Y must be X" for every other character (which your userpage clearly does). I only "follow" your edit because I check every edit made on the recent changes by new users or users who tend to make critical errors like playing by ear/credits.

I understand that Barry and a few others could possibly not be only children. But I know that Ash, Molly Hale, James, Serena, Dawn, and possibly Tracey and Jessie, are all only children. I understand. {{unsigned|QueenElsa11}}

:Serena and Dawn ARE only children. There is visual evidence. But Ash... he can't be an only child. If he REALLY is, I wish I were that way. He must have a sister out there... missing. {{unsigned|QueenElsa11}}
::No. Just because Dawn and Serena aren't shown to have siblings does not mean that she is an only child. Ash has visual evidence asthere is a photo in the third movie that proves it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:42, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Ok. I understand now. Ash could be the only child of his parents, but maybe when Ash was born, his dad left on his journey and took his twin sister with him. The photo doesn't have Ash's father in it, so it doesn't COMPLETELY prove it. About Dawn, people say she is the only child of Johanna. I believe that to be true. Also, about Mega Evolution. Do you think Ash will get a Mega Ring? Are strong bonds really involved? {{unsigned|QueenElsa11}}
:Now you're just speculating. Ash is an only child because the photo only shows him, and we know that his father left when he was young. Misty also says that Ash is an only child in Princess vs Princess. If you want to discuss whether Ash will get a Mega Ring, you can discuss [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/ it on the forums].--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:45, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Ok. I get it now. So he really IS the only child of Delia Ketchum. Ash and James of Team Rocket are only children, so they can relate. I have a brother and I wish I was an only child myself. Being like James and Ash would be fun. Anyway, I am working on a Fanfiction based on Pokémon Omicron. Elsa Woods, my player character, is an only child that lived with her mother, the league champion Aria Woods, until she left on her journey at the age of 10. Elsa's father left on a Pokémon Journey after his daughter was born. Ash and Elsa can relate. I am not talking about Frozen's Elsa.{{unsigned|QueenElsa11}}

== Primal reversion TE chart vs. Mega evoluion TE chart ==

In my previous post, you said the type effectiveness chart for Primal Groudon will only be added after the Hoenn remakes are released. However, I noticed that Mega Altaria and Mega Lopunny have type effectiveness charts for their new respective typings. What is the difference between giving unreleased Mega Evolutions a new type effectiveness chart and giving Primal Groudon a type effectiveness chart?

As a side note, how do I reply to a previous post? As you can see, I couldn't figure it out, so I created a new one. [[User:Elephant1|Elephant1]] ([[User talk:Elephant1|talk]]) 05:21, 10 August 2014 (UTC)Elephant1
:To reply, simply click the edit but that is beside the title of this section. As for the chart, I did say that I was unsure about it.

== [[List of type combinations by abundance]] trivia wording ==

As you have noticed, {{u|Disgraced}} has taken exception to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_type_combinations_by_abundance&curid=181075&diff=2162116&oldid=2162011 my wording] of the first trivia point on the List of type combinations by abundance page. There is nothing really wrong with my wording, and it's more accurate than what Disgraced wants to use. I also phrased it as I originally did to deliberately parallel the second half.

I also believe that Disgraced is being [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_type_combinations_by_abundance&diff=2162006&oldid=2161340 swayed] by a prejudice against me stemming from [[User talk:Tiddlywinks#Pokemon Type Combinations|our disagreement]] over a [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_type_combinations_by_abundance&diff=2161258&oldid=2161247 different part] of that page (and [[Type]])...

[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:52, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
:Either wording is fine by me. In my opinion, you're both making an argument over nothing with that trivia point. Both words are basically saying the same thing.
:As for Disgraced's behavior, I think he needs to calm down a bit. You are correct in your argument, I will admit. I'll drop him a message saying to calm down and not assume the others are against him just because he isn't getting their way.

== Pokemon Hacks - Requesting/Help Page in fourms ==

Hi, I'm interested in creating a Pokemon Hack. I know we have a page in BP about hacks, but is there a place to discuss them on out forums? {{unsigned|AnimeMagic}}

== Why not? ==

Why did you remove my signature? Someone left a small note saying that I forgot to sign what I said in the talk page, so I fixed it and added my signature. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 22:51, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

== Mirage Cave Article ==

So I never played the Mystery Dungeon Games, so I was surprised to find out there was a Mirage Cave article that wasn't related to the new Mirage spots in ORAS. So should the current Mirage Cave be retrofitted to cover both versions, or should a new article or set of articles be coined? Like have Mirage Cave (Mystery Dungeon) and Mirage Spot (Cave) ? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 20:57, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
:Are they both called Mirage Cave? Because what you're implying is that in MD, it's called Mirage Cave whilst in ORAS, it's called Mirage Spot. Either way, they should be in two separate articles with the (Mystery Dungeon) and (ORAS). (If they are the same place, is not, then omit the parenthesis).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:06, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Both are called Mirage Cave, Any Pokémon Caught in a Mirage Cave will say so in their location met data. Lady Ariel has suggested that the MD version be called Mirage Cave (Mystery Dungeon) and the ORAS version called Mirage Cave (Hoenn)
This also affects the Mirage Island Article (although not as much) but also affects the Mirage Forest article (which redirects to a TCG article for some Region I only heard of today since I never played the TCG)

I am currently trying to make a [[Mirage Spots]] article, which will direct readers to any further needed articles. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 04:04, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:If there are multiple mirage locations, they should be compiled into one article. I don't have ORAS, but I'm assuming this is similar to the rustling grass or rippled water where certain location would have these?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:43, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

::::I guess I am not explaining this too well lol. Well, Maybe the Mirage Island article should just be retrofitted for the time being, since from what I gather, most of these mirage spots are new versions of the Mirage Island. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 06:06, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::Is it one solitary place or three different places? You've mentioned Mirage Cave, Mirage Forest and Mirage Island, so I'm guessing it's an event that happens in different areas. I assume "Mirage Spots" is the collective term for these areas. If so, create a page for Mirage Spots and add the mirage area info in it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:14, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
::::::The Mirage Cave, Mirage Forest, Mirage Island, and Mirage Mountain are different locations. Each has about 8 possible locations where they can appear with different Pokémon for each one. I think the best way to handle these are to have the pages ''Mirage Islands'', ''Mirage Caves'', ''Mirage Forests'', and ''Mirage Mountains'', each covering all the 8 locations on the one page. Of course have the ''Mirage Islands'' page of Gen VI be a separate page from ''Mirage Island'' of Gen III. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 06:19, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::::Ah, okay. Then creating separate pages for each would be ideal. For the parenthesis, I'd go with generation number.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:29, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
Until those articles can be made, and Mirage Cave (Mystery Dungeon), Mirage Forest (TGC) and Mirage Island (Gen III) made separate, I have temporarily put some of the info for the Mirage Islands on the Mirage Island article.

This is still all new, so it'll take some time to figure out how to sort the info. However the way I understand it, the Hierarchy goes Mirage Spots -> Mirage Islands and it seems that Mirage Caves, Mirage Forests and Mirage Mountains are subspecies of Mirage Islands. lol We'll figure it out. Mirage Spots is the collective terms. At least it seems that most people are making it out to be that way. Like I said, we'll figure it out. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 06:52, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:If it's not an in-game term, we won't use mirage spots as the title. Create a starting article on the other mirage spots on your userpage so people can edit that as they play.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:57, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
::Its an official term, and a old man in Pacifidlog town mentioned Mirage Spots in-game.

== Protection ==

Seems somebody unlocked the pedia ''too'' well: protecting pages isn't doing anything. Your lock on the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} page didn't stop people from editing and I can still edit [[Ash's Frogadier]]. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 12:19, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

== Hiya ==

I'll disclose that I also [[User_talk:SnorlaxMonster#Help_Requested_.28Templates.29|also asked SnorlaxMonster about this]], but just in case he doesn't know himself wanted to ask someone else too.

As that link says, I am basically adding new Egg Moves for Minun (and eventually Plusle as well), but I am not sure how to tag that the Egg Moves are in OR/AS only; in this case, Charm and Fake Tears are showing up IN THE FIELD as Egg Moves replacing the first move on both species, and though I haven't reached the breeder yet, the fact that they are showing up via the new mechanic confirms that they are Egg Moves themselves. I haven't done the breeding research to see who else can pass down the move, but for now Plusle and Minun themselves are the only mates I've labeled. (I also succeeded in finding a Lv.16 Plusle earlier, via DexNav, that turned out to know Charm itself; I've made edits to DexNav exclusive for single (non-horde) encounters for this reason.)

So my attempts to add the OR/AS tag were futile, I'm guessing because the tags were never created for the breed5 template. I have done research and found, for instance, Munchlax has a "HG/SS" tag on its [[Munchlax_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29/Generation_IV_learnset#By_breeding|Gen IV breeding set]] and recalled Cinccino being unable to learn Thief via TM in B/W (corrected in B2/W2, thus the tag [[Cinccino_(Pokémon)/Generation_V_learnset#By_TM.2FHM|here]] next to the move in question), but looking at the code, I find it doesn't work for the breed5 template, suggesting the code doesn't exist for those tags there. This suspicion is confirmed when I see the following in the second "style" line on the template (converted as displayed, not in code form which you'd see in edit mode):

:BW=[[Pokémon Black and White Versions|BW]]

This needs to be updated to have an X/Y and OR/AS tag as I am sure there are other Egg Moves that are exclusive to OR/AS. If {{p|Minun}} could then be updated, then it can be copied to {{p|Plusle}} as well (the two new Egg Moves, that is) and either used as a reference for future exclusive Egg Moves. I'd add the code myself, but I don't have editing rights to the template and likely never will. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:21, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
:UPDATE: I have looked and found that [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:Learnlist/breed6 breed6] now exists, created last month. I'm going to compare the two tags and see if I can figure out the differences. Of note, I see that editing is currently available to me for breed6, but I'm going to do some testing in my space to try adding the tags before I apply any updates there. Perhaps after I finish this research and possibly make edits, the template can be locked at that point? Once I know my tests work, I'll update Minun's egg move list over to the breed6 template after making the necessary edits on the template and then do the same for Plusle. Clearly, all breed5 need to be updated to breed6 on all pages, but more important to get the mechanics working first.

:Gotta go do a chore, but will be researching right after that. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:30, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
::I've done more research. I don't know if we can create templates in user space. Can we create our own templates for testing in the template space and link to them from our user space? I'm can create "breed6Cyc" for testing and clearly note it's for testing, and once testing is complete and breed6 updated it can be deleted. Either way, I have looked at the structure of both breed5 and breed6 and found that the addition of OR/AS should be easy, as is X/Y; I'm going to look at the breed4 structure as well to make sure I don't mess up trying to add two as B2/W2 don't have their own switch on the breed5 template (probably nothing on that template exclusive to it).

Minun's breeding is changed completely over using data straight from the game for beauty, appeal, etc. but the switch isn't working. The template clearly needs another edit somewhere, but I am not sure where. It's possible, even though I mimicked the breed4 template perfectly, that something else needs to be created for it to function properly. Please review that and see what needs to be done? I'm finished editing for now until the switch works, then I'll see if I can add breeding research for Charm and Fake Tears before copying everything over to Plusle's page (since they are identical).

In this case, I think a final warning would have been enough, and any additional attempt to add the content gets him blocked temporarily, and others could continue to edit as needed.

I stated within that edit that I was not posting speculation as fact, and that I was well aware that it was not GameFreak's intention, but it still seemed relevant regardless because it was still Trivia that connected Looker to that character. In fact the connections between The Doctor and Audino seemed rather "too specific" that it felt like an easter egg if anything.
Trivia isn't necessarily "all fact" as long as there is enough basis to make a connection and people find it interesting.

:There was a note on the article not to add anything related to Doctor Who, yet you went ahead and added it.

I'm really sorry, but the way you said that, makes it sound like I'm a troublemaker who purposely avoids rules. I did not ignore it, because I did not know that rule existed, and I apologize for not noticing. Can you link me to the rules page (to avoid this in the future) please?

== Mega Salamence ==

I have read your response, and honestly, that is not the right comparison to make.

Mega Evolutions are not like "two Onix's", Mega Evolutions are only used by a select few in the Pokémon games as they are deemed as the most powerful Pokémon forms. Let me tell you this, if there were two important characters that were using a shiny Metagross - would you simply state, "It's just two of the same Pokémon?" No. Because Shiny are considered as rare exceptions. Yes, the rate to get a shiny has increased, however, this does not change the overall specialty of shiny Pokémon. The same goes for Mega Evolutions. for even one Mega Evolution to be relevant by more than one character is a specialty. Yes, it is not interesting to you, but, I can guarantee you that it will interest every other person.

Just remember, this is Trivia that interest's everybody and not just you. I couldn't care less about Salamence's defense being the highest for Dragon types, but if it interest everyone else then I'm all for it. The same goes with my trivia.{{unsigned|Mega Charizard Z}}
:1) Please keep conversation in one talk page. It makes it easier to find where the discussion is taking place.
:2) Please sign your comments with four tildes (~) or by clicking the signature button above the edit box.
:3) Two trainers having the same Pokémon is not notable. Any two trainers can have the same Pokémon, regardless of whether it is a Mega or a shiny.
:4) I know that trivia should be interesting to everybody, but at the same time, it shouldn't be dull. Two trainers having the same Pokémon? So what? Ash and Dawn have a Quilava. Brock and Roark have an Onix. It's not that far-fetched.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:14, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

== About the original series numbering and ends in the dub ==

I'm sure you're aware that the Official Pokémon Website lists the episodes in the dub as "season 1" and "season 2" differently from how we've listed them. I wonder if it's possible if we could go in the same path as the Pokémon Best Wishes series and have "Season 2 continues into Adventures in the Orange Islands below. Please note that this only applies to the dub outside of Japan." in there as well? And yes, I'm aware that a few of the episodes are aired in a slightly different order in season 1 and 2 than they are in the Japanese version. —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 12:49, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

== Kalosian ==

== Regarding the Groudon undo ==

I am not sure if you remember, but you undid the part where it showed the evobox for Groudon and its Primal frome. You told me "Not an evolution". I wasn't regarding it as an evolution in the first place. I was using the evobox FORME template, not the regular one. plus even if you did knew it was a forme evobox, why undo it? Primal Groudon is a forme of Groudon. Hoopa has a forme and it has a evobox template for confined and unbound and it doesn't get removed. Im not trying to be harsh. Im just wondering why. [[User:Deltamon3|Deltamon3]] ([[User talk:Deltamon3|talk]]) 18:51, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
:We're not counting Primal reversion as a forme as well, as they are different. We're treating Primal Reversion as a transformation, just like we treat Mega Evolution as a transformation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:22, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

I found them, but no luck. None of the webs didn't get me nowhere. I still think we should put Luxio's English VA as Sarah. If not, I don't know where else to look or maybe you can find it.--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]])

== Move Discussion: Brendan ==

Please comment [[Talk:Brendan_(game)#Move|here]]. IMO there is no valid reason for not moving the page to remove (game) from the end of it because there is only one Brendan in the Pokémon world, so disambiguation is not necessary. This is different from May, who has an [[May (anime)|anime version]] and requires disambiguation. Keeping Brendan's page at [[Brendan (game)]] for "consistency" is laughable, and there are several people (myself included) advocating the move.

But I thought Pokémon was supposed to have same VA even when they evolved. I thought Ash's Frogadier was voiced the same when it was a Froakie and like Sanpei's. --JasonL 15:57, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]])

== "In the core series games" headers on location pages ==

Character pages have the nicer looking header of "In the games", but their infoboxes have info about them in all canons.
