{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Stadium}}

'''Pokémon Stadium''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケモンスタジアム２}}''' ''Pokémon Stadium 2'', subtitled as '''Pocket Monsters' Stadium 2''') is a [[Nintendo 64]] game that allows players to upload and battle their Pokémon from the [[Generation I|first generation]] Pokémon games, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]] in Japan. It features several battle arenas, introducing [[Stadium Mode]]'s original four cups, the [[Pika Cup]], [[Petit Cup]], [[Poké Cup]], and [[Prime Cup]], the latter two of which would return in [[Pokémon Stadium 2|the sequel]], and the original [[Gym Leader Castle]]. It also features new Pokémon [[cry|cries]], a feature that was carried on in the sequel for Pokémon from Generation II.

It was originally released in Japan on April 30, 1999, in North America on March 6, 2000, in Australia on March 23, 2000, and in Europe on April 7, 2000. It was announced during the September 13, 2022 [[Nintendo Direct]] that the game would be rereleased as part of the [[Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]] in 2023. However, this version of the game is unable to connect to the original [[Game Boy]] or [[Virtual Console]] games. It was released on April 12, 2023.

This game is the sequel to the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|mostly incomplete original]], which was never released anywhere outside Japan.

==Terminology==
This game is called "Pokémon Stadium" in English, as it was the first [[Pokémon Stadium series]] game released outside Japan. However, it is named ポケモンスタジアム２ (''Pokémon Stadium 2'') in Japan, as it was released after the game ポケモンスタジアム (''{{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}''), which was never released internationally.

For comparison, the third Japanese game in this series is known as "[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]" in English.

==Blurb==
The ultimate Pokémon battle is about to begin... At long last, all of your favorite Pokémon are ready to go head-to-head on the N64! Whether you're battling a friend, a Gym Leader or a tournament contestant, you're about to witness some of the most spectacular battle scenes in history! Select a team from a huge stable of "rental" battlers, or use the included N64 Transfer Pack to upload your own team from Pokémon Red, Blue or Yellow! This stadium is packed and ready to rock!

==Game modes==
[[File:Stadium Intro.png|thumb|left|200px|Title screen]]
[[File:Pokemon Stadium Mode Select.png|thumb|left|200px|Game mode selection]]
===Free battle===
An open battle mode where players can battle with each other or the CPU with their favorite Pokémon. Players can use the Stadium rulesets (plus the available {{pkmn2|rental}}s), or choose "Anything Goes" for only the basic rules with no level limit.

Exclusive to Anything Goes is the ability to bring any number of Pokémon from one to six into battle, and play team matches with three or four players. When two players are on a given side, each selects up to three Pokémon to control.

===Stadium===
{{main|Stadium Mode}}
This is the main game mode. There are four different cup rules to win; [[Pika Cup]], [[Petit Cup]], [[Poké Cup]], and [[Prime Cup]]. In the latter two, there are four levels of difficulty; Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball and Master Ball.

===Gym Leader Castle===
{{main|Gym Leader Castle}}
In this mode, the goal is to climb to the castle's top by facing, in order, all eight Gym Leaders from [[Kanto]], followed by the [[Elite Four]], and finally {{ga|Blue|the player's rival}}. Each of the Gym Leaders has three apprentices that the player must defeat first in order to battle the Gym Leader themselves.

When the rival is finally defeated, the player will be rewarded one of the following eight Pokémon at random, each of them uncommon in [[Generation I]] and usually only available once in a particular Game Boy game without [[Trade|trading]].

===Battle Now!===
In this mode, the player can play a battle without having to select {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Rather, the players are randomly assigned one of two predetermined teams.

===Vs. Mewtwo===
Once the player has completed the [[Stadium Mode]] and [[Gym Leader Castle]], {{p|Mewtwo}}'s silhouette will appear in the sky over the Stadium for selection. This is simply a showdown against Mewtwo itself, under essentially "Anything Goes" rules: up to six Pokémon (the player's own or [[Prime Cup]] {{pkmn2|rental}}s) can be brought to the battle, but Mewtwo is the only opponent. It has full [[PP Up]]s applied to all of its moves (in round 1), or to both of its attacking moves (in round 2).

Defeating Mewtwo launches the credits, changes the title screen and unlocks Round 2. Re-unlocking and defeating Mewtwo in Round 2 (where its stats are increased to the max) awards special hidden stickers available in the Gallery mode.

===Kids Club===
{{main|Pokémon Stadium series mini-games#Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series mini-games → Pokémon Stadium}}
The Kids Club area is home to nine different mini-games, which may be played with one to four human players (the remaining players are controlled by the computer).

===Gallery===
[[File:NA Pokemon Stadium Gallery.png|thumb|200px|Gallery]]
This feature, which only exists in the North American version of the game, is used to take pictures of Pokémon from a Red, Blue, or Yellow cartridge inserted into the [[Transfer Pak]] or any [[rental Pokémon]]. Any of the game's arenas can be selected for a backdrop and the photos are stored in an in-game album. These pictures can be printed out as stickers (in 16×1 or 4×4 sizes) via the same Sticker Station that was used for [[Pokémon Snap]].

===Pokémon Lab===
{{main|Pokémon Lab (Stadium)}}
This can only be used if the player has a copy of Pokémon Red, Blue or Yellow inserted into a Transfer Pak. Here, the player can access boxes to organize and store Pokémon and items, trade Pokémon between game cartridges (with two Transfer Paks), and accept prize Pokémon won elsewhere in the game. Using this feature will cause any Pokémon above [[level]] 100 (obtained either by hacking or via the [[Old man glitch]]) to be permanently reverted to level 100.

===GB Tower===
[[File:NA Pokemon Stadium Game Pak Check.png|thumb|200px|Transfer Pak compatibility]]
{{main|Game Boy Tower}}
This is used to play an emulated version of {{game3|Red and Blue|Red, Blue|s}}, or {{v2|Yellow}} on the Nintendo 64. Different borders can be applied, some exclusive to particular versions. In addition, a {{p|Doduo}} Game Boy Tower can be unlocked by completing either the Poké Cup or Prime Cup in Round 1, which allows the game to be played at double the speed. A {{p|Dodrio}} Game Boy Tower can also be unlocked by beating both the Poké Cup and Prime Cup in Round 1, allowing the game to be played at triple speed.

===Hall of Fame===
When the player clears the final division of a [[Stadium Cup]] or defeats the Rival in the Gym Leader Castle, all of the Pokémon on the player's team will be registered in the Hall of Fame, recording its nickname, level, and Original Trainer name and ID, as well as the tournament it was on the winning team for. Each species can only have one entry in the Hall of Fame at a time, and attempting to register a Pokémon that already has an entry there will cause the previous entry to be overwritten.
{{-}}

==Round 2==
When the Vs. Mewtwo battle is cleared, Round 2 can be toggled on and off by pressing C-Right on the main menu. Round 2 challenges the player to battle through the game all over again, against the same opponents with different Pokémon and a much higher difficulty. {{p|Mew}} can also be rented in the Prime Cup. The surrounding Stadium area in Round 2 is set at night.

==Changes==
===Trainer class changes===
As there is a seven-letter limit for Trainer names, some {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer classes}} go by different names.

===Changes from Red, Blue, and Yellow===
Pokémon Stadium features a number of changes to the battle system. Many of these fix [[glitch]]es present in the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071111023716/www.upokecenter.com/games/rby/guides/explanations.html UPC Attack Explanations]</ref><ref>[http://www.smogon.com/rb/articles/differences Important RBY Differences]</ref><ref>https://www.smogon.com/rb/articles/stadium_guide</ref>

General changes include:
* Team preview is enabled.
* The [[HP]] bars of both active Pokémon numerically display their HP.
* [[Item]]s may not be used in battle.
* The duration of {{status|sleep}} is reduced to 1-3 turns.
* A Pokémon cannot be put to sleep by an opponent (but it can use {{m|Rest}}) if the Pokémon's teammate is asleep.
* If a Pokémon defeats an opposing Pokémon with a [[recoil]] move, the Pokémon does not suffer recoil [[damage]].
* An immobilized Pokémon can still select a [[move]].
* Consecutive moves such as {{m|Wrap}} end when the target switches out.
* If a Pokémon is fully {{status|paralyzed}} during the invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}, the move resets.
* When a paralyzed Pokémon's {{stat|Speed}} [[stat]] is modified, its Speed reduction is [[List of battle glitches in Generation I#Stat modification errors|no longer nullified]].
** The same applies for Burn and the {{stat|Attack}} stat
* A confused Pokémon will reveal the move it attempted to use when it hits itself in confusion.
* After a move which causes self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} (e.g. {{m|Thrash}}) ends, the game will display a message stating that the target is confused.
* The variable that determines the last damage dealt is reset whenever a Pokémon [[Recall|switches]], is fully paralyzed, or uses a two-turn move.
** This variable is unaffected by recoil damage.
* Recovery moves no longer fail when the difference between a Pokémon's current and maximum HP is 1 less than a multiple of 256 (i.e. 255 or 511).
* Critical Hit ratio is changed to <math>\left\lfloor \tfrac{(BaseSpeed + 76)}{1024} \right\rfloor</math>. 
* Moves no longer have an additional 1/256 chance to miss.
* The [[stat modifier]]s for {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} were changed.
* [[Dual-type damage misinformation]], a glitch where {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}} messages on Dual-Type Pokémon would incorrectly display, has been fixed. Notably, this does not affect damage calculations, just the "It's super effective!" or "It's not very effective..." text.

In addition, the following moves were changed:

{| class="roundtable sortable" style="background: #{{blue color light}}; border:3px solid #{{red color}};"
|- class="blacklinks"
! style="background-color: #{{red color light}};" | [[Move]]
! style="background-color: #{{red color light}};" | [[Type]]
! style="background-color: #{{red color light}};" | Change
{{Movelist|Bide|Normal||}}

===Changes from previous Stadium game===
{{Incomplete|section|Critical hits, Accuracy, Focus Energy, Acid, Bubble Beam, Thawing, Stat Rollovers, 0 Damage Psywave, 1/65,536 miss}}
There have been several changes from the earlier game {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}.

* All 151 [[Generation I]] Pokémon are playable in battle, as opposed to only 40 Pokémon.
* This game was localized in English, as well as multiple European languages, while the previous game was only available in Japanese.
* Most mechanical changes from the previous section had not been implemented.
** {{status|Sleep}}, [[bound|binding]], stat modification errors, and {{m|Swift}}, act the same in both games. Other moves act the same as they do in the [[core series]] games.
* [[Dual-type damage misinformation]] no longer occurs.
* The {{OBP|Pokémon Lab|Stadium}} was introduced in this game. The {{OBP|PC|Stadium}}, trade machine, and machine to switch Game Boy games were also introduced in this game.
** The {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}} is now located in the Pokémon Lab. The "List" feature (a large table listing Pokémon), and the features to arrange Pokémon, items, and Boxes are now located in the PC. (All these features were introduced in Japanese Pokémon Stadium, but they were simply found at the [[main menu]].)
** The Nintendo 64 Pokémon storage in previous game had 4 Boxes for 30 Pokémon each (total 120). This was expanded in this game, as the Japanese version has 8 Boxes with 30 Pokémon slots each and the English version has 12 Boxes with 20 slots each (both total 240).
* The player is no longer required to save at a [[Pokémon Center]] (in the connected [[core series]] game) in order to use the {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}}; the player can freely use the Pokédex, no matter where they saved.
* Illegal moves (moves that Pokémon should not be able to learn) now have purple text in battle. Previously, if a Trainer has a Pokémon with an illegal move active, the Trainer's name would turn purple.
** Additionally, the list of illegal moves was updated to no longer include moves exclusively obtained via [[List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation I|event distributions]]. {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} also now consider {{m|Acid}} as a legal move, but it is unknown if it was for an undistributed event or just a mistake.
** This does not account for moves that are learned exclusively by trading with [[Generation II]]
* Several [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|mini-games]] were introduced in this game.
* The [[Gym Leader Castle]] mode was added.
* [[Pikachu (Yellow)|The player's Pikachu]] from {{game|Yellow}} says its name in battle ([[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]]), as opposed to other Pikachu, which have the usual electronic noise [[cry]]. This Pikachu's idle animation is also different from that of other Pikachu. It keeps swinging its head to the sides, with its ears slightly uneven. Its voice and pose are also seen in the Gallery (only available in the English version).
* [[Battle Mode (Stadium)|Free Battles]] now support up to 4 players.
** In battles vs the CPU on Japan-only Pokémon Stadium, the CPU occupies the P2 slot and their battle panels alongside Poké Balls (on Team Preview) are green. In battles vs the CPU on Pokémon Stadium 2 (known as Pokémon Stadium outside Japan), the CPU occupies the P4 slot and their battle panels alongside Poké Balls (on Team Preview) are yellow unless it’s a P1 and P4 vs CPU battle, in which the AI will occupy the P3 slot and their battle panels alongside Poké Balls (on Team Preview) are red.

===Localization changes===
Like the Generation I handheld games, Pokémon Stadium had several changes from the Japanese version.

* The Japanese version has six Stadium Cups. In addition to the Pika, Petit, and Prime Cups, there are three cups based upon [[Rule variants#Japanese tournaments|official tournaments]]: the [[Rule variants#Pokémon Stadium|Nintendo Cup '97, Nintendo Cup '98, and Nintendo Cup '99]]. In the international versions, the Nintendo Cups were replaced with the Poké Cup from Pokémon Yellow's Colosseum 2.
* Several [[rental Pokémon]] had their movesets changed between the Japanese and localized versions.
* A gallery mode was added, but only in the American version (it is absent in Japanese and European versions).
** In the Japanese and European versions, the [[main menu]] has the "[[options]]" button in the middle, below the "Pokémon Stadium" option. In the American version, the "gallery" button was added where the "options" would be in other games, and the "options" button was moved to the right side.
* {{p|Pikachu}} can be taught {{m|Surf}} [[#Move Tutor|under special conditions]]. Japanese players could teach a Pikachu Surf in the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)#Special Pokémon|original Pokémon Stadium]], but not this game.
* The number of teams that could be registered was decreased from 12 to 10.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games#List of mini-games|Clefairy Says]], the {{p|Clefairy}} sing rather than repeat the same sound effect.

==Special Pokémon==
One Pokémon with a unique move can be obtained and transferred to any [[Generation I]] game.

===Amnesia Psyduck===
This {{p|Psyduck}} with the special move {{m|Amnesia}} is obtained by registering all 151 Pokémon in the Hall of Fame.

==Move Tutor==
In non-Japanese versions, {{p|Pikachu}} can be taught {{m|Surf}} if the player clears the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] under the following conditions:<ref>[http://www.math.miami.edu/~jam/azure/pokedex/species/025.htm Surf Pikachu requirements]</ref><ref>[http://www.math.miami.edu/~jam/azure/forum/tuff/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000645 Research topic for Surf Pikachu requirements]</ref>
* All of the Pokémon must be selected directly from a Game Pak (Pokémon cannot be registered). The Pikachu can come from any [[Generation I]] game.
* Continues may be used, but the game cannot be saved.
* Pikachu only has to be selected for the final battle, but does not have to take part in the battle.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Stadium}}

==Trivia==
* [[Cry|Pokémon cries]] have a much more realistic sound in this game. However, [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the partner Pikachu]] from {{game|Yellow}} says its name like [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
** This was carried over to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* This was the first home console game to have all Pokémon in its generation usable in battle.
* Rocket's Pokémon have numbers in their nicknames, even though this was not possible until [[Generation III]]. The same applies for {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in the sequel.
* This was the first Pokémon game that allowed more than two players to battle at one time. This feature would not be implemented into the [[Core series|handheld]] games until Generation III.
* This is the only game where [[Lance]] does not use a {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} at any point in the game.
* Unlike in the handheld games, if due to glitches (like Pokémon "growing" from Lv. 255 to Lv. 0, thus lowering HP) a Pokémon's current HP is below 0, this displays properly (like 64569).
* Clearing the Gym Leader Castle and Prime Cup on Master Ball mode will unlock an alternate title screen.
* Although there is a 1'4" (0.4 m) difference between {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Venonat}}, the two appear to be the same height in battle.
* If a Pokémon knows four HM moves, using a TM in the menu allows the first move to be overwritten. This is the only way to replace HM moves in Generation I.
* {{p|Jynx}}'s body color was changed from black to purple between the 1.0 and 1.1 English releases to avoid [[Jynx (Pokémon)#Controversy|further controversy]].
* According to an FAQ page that was available in February 1999 on [[Pokémon.com]], there were no plans to release an American version of {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, as well as any other Pokémon games that have been only released in Japanese at the time.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19990221021626/http://www.pokemon.com/games/faq.html</ref> This referred to the first Pokémon Stadium game (the version with only 42 Pokémon available for battles), which was never released in English.
* Moves that are flagged as illegal by the game are displayed in purple in the battle menu, and the Trainer's name is displayed in purple as well.
* The VS portraits for the Elite Four strongly resemble their artwork in the board game [[Pokémon Master Trainer (1999)]].
* The VS portraits for the Gym Leaders all resemble their headshots drawn by Ken Sugimori, with [[Blaine]]'s being from the Red and Green manual, as opposed to his original design found in early promotional material.
* Although P3 and P4 are colored red and yellow respectively in-game, in the instruction manual detailing how 4 players battles work their colors are mistakenly switched. This is fixed in the Stadium 2 manual.

{{spoilers}}

The '''Pokémon Pinchers''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケモンナッパーズ}}''' ''Pokémon Nappers'') are a [[villainous team]] in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}. They operate in the [[Oblivia]] region, and though they appear to be led by [[Red Eyes]], [[Blue Eyes]], and [[Purple Eyes]], they are actually controlled by a secret society called the [[Societea]].

==In the games==
The Pokémon Pinchers are first encountered as soon as the game begins, in the sky. They then take various Pokémon from [[Dolce Island]] and one admin, [[Blue Eyes]], gets {{p|Raikou}} to destroy Oblivia's contact with the [[Ranger Union]] by hijacking the [[Wireless Tower]] on [[Renbow Island]]. Another admin, [[Red Eyes]], destroys the {{DL|Renbow Island|Big Booker Bridge}} and trades Blue Eyes for the {{player}}'s partner ({{ra|Ben}} or {{ra|Summer}}) in the [[Daybreak Ruins]]. Another admin, [[Purple Eyes]], controls [[Steelhead]], as do the group's leader and top executives.

In order to defeat them, the {{player}} must infiltrate their [[Sky Fortress]], where the Societea is headquartered. After defeating the Societea executives, who use {{p|Crobat}}, {{p|Ditto}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}, the player must do battle with their leader's {{p|Mewtwo}}. However, when Mewtwo is captured, Purple Eyes suddenly appears and betrays the Societea, seizing control of Mewtwo using a special suit of armor. The player must capture Mewtwo again to defeat Purple Eyes and put an end to his schemes.

It is stated that originally, the Pinchers were just loosely associated mercenary groups around the world, and that it was the Societea that gathered these groups into a formal team and installed Purple Eyes as its leader. Throughout the game, the Pokémon Pinchers Grunts appear in Quests, sometimes even as the client.

==In the anime==
[[File:Pokémon Pinchers anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Pokémon Pinchers in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Pokémon Pinchers and [[Red Eyes]] appeared in a {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs|anime special|two-part special}} based on Guardian Signs.

{{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} {{ra|Ben}} and his recruited {{p|Staraptor}} stopped them from taking control of a {{p|Latios}}. Red Eyes quickly stepped in, shooting Ben down and he later washed up on [[Dolce Island]].

After learning that the Pokémon Pinchers had previously kidnapped all of Dolce Island's Pokémon, Ben flew over to [[Rasp Cavern]] on [[Renbow Island]] to investigate further. The Pinchers made off with a [[Ranger Sign]] after using a {{p|Cranidos}} as a delay tactic. Red Eyes and his grunts were later stopped in their tracks by the arrival of a ferocious {{p|Raikou}}.

Generation

2023-03-06T20:48:08Z

Digifiend:

{{samename|TCG expansion released to commemorate the {{pkmn|20th Anniversary}}|Generations (TCG)}}
{{samename|animated miniseries|Pokémon Generations}}
A '''generation''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|世代|せだい}}''' ''generation'') is a grouping of the [[Pokémon games]] that separates them based on the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} they include. In each generation, a new [[region]] and set of Pokémon that did not exist in the previous generation are introduced.

While generations are not usually discussed officially, they are occasionally. [[Junichi Masuda]] has referred to the fourth generation [https://twitter.com/Junichi_Masuda/status/1052350316681654273 on his Twitter profile] and sixth generation [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?m=201301 on his blog]. {{game|Black and White|s}} were [https://web.archive.org/web/20100603050241/http://www.pokemon.com/us/news/vg_blackwhite_announce-2010-05-28/ referred to] as a "new generation of Pokémon", and [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] were [http://pokemon.gamespress.com/release.asp?i=1942&lang=en&region=United+Kingdom referred to] as the "newest generation" in press releases.

Generational lines are typically ignored in other parts of the franchise, which continue from where the last generation left off and keep the story going. (This phenomenon is especially true of the {{pkmn|anime}}.) Newer generations may also ignore older parts of the canon that explicitly declare to be true something that is later changed.

To date, there are nine generations, each introducing their own quirks into the franchise. The [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games are compatible with one another via the [[Time Capsule]]; the seven most recent generations are also compatible with each other (forward only) via [[dual-slot mode]], [[Pal Park]], [[Poké Transfer]], [[Poké Transporter]], [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]], but the Generation I and II games were incompatible with later generations until their [[Virtual Console]] releases, which are compatible with [[Generation VII]] onwards. A generation may introduce remakes of games from a previous generation.

The '''Galar''' region (Japanese: '''ガラル{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Galar {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]], and the eighth [[core series]] region to be introduced. It is the setting of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
Galar may have been derived from ''gallant'', ''gala'' (a special occasion), or ''{{wp|Galahad}}''. It may also come from an anagram of ''San-Graal'', the French name of the {{wp|Holy Grail}}. Another possible etymology may be ''galar'', Irish and Scottish Gaelic for "disease," in reference to either [[Dynamax]] and {{p|Eternatus}} or one of Britain's nicknames, Blighty.

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Galar|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Galar}}
Galar is based on the {{wp|United Kingdom}}. According to [[Shigeru Ohmori]], the UK is chosen as a basis for Galar to tie into {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s theme of "strength", and the idea of aiming to be the greatest or the strongest.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/we-interview-junichi-masuda-and-shigeru-ohmori-about-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield/ We Interview Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori about ''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Pokémon Shield'' | Pokemon.com]</ref>

The main part of Galar focuses heavily on the island of Great Britain, especially {{wp|England}} and (to a lesser extent) {{wp|Wales}}. However, the orientation of the landmass is rotated 180° compared to real-world Great Britain: for example, northern Galar is based on southern England. The parts of Galar introduced in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]] are based on other parts of the UK. The [[Isle of Armor]] is based on the {{wp|Isle of Man}}, a self-governing {{wp|Crown Dependencies|crown dependency}} of the United Kingdom,<ref>[https://twitter.com/pokemonnewsuk/status/1216731889920368643?s=21 Tweet regarding Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra's inspiration]</ref> and the [[Crown Tundra]] is based on {{wp|Scotland}}.

==History==
===Dated history===
The following events are dated in relation to the events of {{g|Sword and Shield}}:
* 20,000 years prior: A meteorite containing {{p|Eternatus}} fell in Galar.
* c. 3,000 years prior: A black storm called the [[Darkest Day]] occurred across Galar and was stopped by {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}.
* 50 years prior: [[Mustard]] defeated [[Opal]] and went on to become Galar's {{pkmn|Champion}}.
* 32 years prior: [[Mustard]] loses his position as Galar's Champion. After retiring from the Pokémon League and traveling the world, Mustard returned to Galar, bought an island, named it the "Isle of Armor", and founded the [[Master Dojo]].

===Contemporary history===
====Sword and Shield====
{{ga|Victor}}/{{ga|Gloria}} and their best friend, [[Hop]], receive their [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Leon]], the undefeated {{pkmn|Champion}} and Hop's brother. Shortly thereafter, they meet a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Slumbering Weald]]. As they begin their {{pkmn|journey}}, they receive [[Pokédex]]es from [[Sonia]], [[Dynamax Band]]s from [[Professor Magnolia]], and [[endorsement]]s from Leon to enter the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. They travel across Galar, challenging [[Gym]]s to earn the eight [[Badge]]s they need to enter the Champion Cup. Over the course of their journey, they encounter a group called [[Team Yell]], whose members support [[Marnie]] in the Gym Challenge. They also encounter another group called [[Macro Cosmos]], a conglomerate led by [[Rose]], who has endorsed his ward [[Bede]] in the Gym Challenge. During the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon Stadium]], Rose interrupts the Championship Match by reawakening {{p|Eternatus}}, bringing about the [[Darkest Day]] in an attempt to provide energy for Galar for 1,000 years. To stop Rose's plan, Victor/Gloria and Hop search for the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]] in the Slumbering Weald, and with those [[item]]s in hand, they head to the [[Energy Plant]] in [[Hammerlocke]] to face Rose. Victor/Gloria battles and defeats Rose, then joins Leon and Hop to face Eternatus; in the course of the battle, the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield summon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} (respectively) to their aid. After defeating Eternatus, Victor/Gloria manages to catch it. They then return to [[Wyndon]] to defeat Leon in the Championship Match, becoming the new Champion of Galar.

After becoming Champion, Hop and Victor/Gloria travel back to the Slumbering Weald to return the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield. While there, they encounter an odd pair of brothers, [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who proclaim themselves descendants of the original kings of Galar and steal the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield. The brothers seek to undermine Zacian and Zamazenta's reputation as saviors of Galar by turning them instead into threats. As an experiment to further their plan, they release Dynamax particles across Galar, sending multiple Dynamax Pokémon out of control across multiple stadiums. Victor/Gloria, Hop, and then-former [[Gym Leader]] [[Piers]] set out to stop the rampaging Pokémon, while Sonia tracks the brothers. The group finds them at the Hammerlocke Energy Plant, where they attempt to use Dynamax particles to send Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} into an uncontrollable fury. Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} resists, instead attacking Shielbert{{sup/8|Sw}}/Sordward{{sup/8|Sh}}. With the help of Hop and Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}}, Victor/Gloria successfully calms Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}. Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} then flees, pursued by Hop, while Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} allows Victor/Gloria to catch them by defeating them in battle. Victor/Gloria and their new Pokémon return to find Hop in the Slumbering Weald. There, Hop successfully calms and catches Zamazenta/Zacian, and challenges Victor/Gloria to one final battle.

====The Isle of Armor====
The player travels to the [[Isle of Armor]] off the coast of Galar and becomes an apprentice in the local [[Master Dojo]], a [[battle facility]] run by former Champion [[Mustard]]. They also develop a new [[rival]]ry with a Gym Leader-in-training and fellow apprentice named [[Klara]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Avery]]{{sup/8|Sh}}. Victor/Gloria enrolls and takes part in a series of trials, first chasing a trio of fast Galarian {{p|Slowpoke}}, searching for Max Mushrooms, and having a final showdown with Klara/Avery. In doing so, Victor/Gloria proves to be Mustard's best student since [[Leon]], as claimed by Mustard himself. As a reward for completing Mustard's trials, they are given a {{p|Kubfu}} as a companion to raise, with the goal of raising it into a great {{p|Urshifu}}. After developing a strong bond with {{p|Kubfu}}, Victor/Gloria heads to the [[Tower of Darkness]] or the [[Tower of Waters]], and completes a rite of passage to ultimately earn the right to evolve Kubfu into Urshifu. After Victor/Gloria become Champion of Galar, they are tasked by Mustard to find [[Max Honey]] for Urshifu to achieve [[Gigantamax]] transformation, and work alongside Hop to find it. Once Urshifu has achieved the ability to Gigantamax, Victor/Gloria have a final showdown with Mustard, who now holds nothing back, and prevails. Mustard congratulates them, and tells them to be ready for [[Galarian Star Tournament|what's to come]].

====The Crown Tundra====
The player travels to the [[Crown Tundra]] in southern Galar, where they meet [[Peony]], an enthusiastic former {{type|Steel}} Gym Leader and Champion as well as the younger brother of [[Rose]], and take his daughter [[Peonia]]'s place in his explorations of solving the legends lurking around the Tundra, since Peonia refuses to do so. As such, Peony assigns Victor/Gloria as the leader of his "expedition team" and tasks them with searching for various [[Legendary Pokémon]] who are known to reside in the Crown Tundra. One of these Pokémon is the King of Bountiful Harvests, a known figurehead in the Crown Tundra and its small town of [[Freezington]], but one whose stories are now only known to a few. Victor/Gloria eventually meets this Pokémon after restoring its statue, who reveals its name to be {{p|Calyrex}}, while it uses [[Peony]] as a means to communicate with them. It reveals that it had lost its power over the years as less and less people believed in it, and it eventually lost the ability to bring bountiful harvests. Calyrex tasks Victor/Gloria with creating the Reins of Unity (which Peony successfully creates) and planting either an Iceroot Carrot or Shaderoot Carrot in hopes of reclaiming its long lost steed, who is later revealed to be {{p|Glastrier}}/{{p|Spectrier}}. They eventually lure the steed into the Crown Shrine, and Calyrex takes its Reins of Unity and bonds with Glastrier or Spectrier once more, achieving its full power again. Now having regained its power, Calyrex allows Victor/Gloria to challenge it to a battle to catch it, and they succeed in doing so. Calyrex thanks the player and looks forward to the journeys they will share.

In the midst of doing so, Victor/Gloria explores the entirety of the Crown Tundra, discovering several ruins that uncover the [[Legendary titans]], including two newly discovered ones in {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}. They also discover a tree where Galarian forms of the [[Legendary birds]] come, and chases them all around Galar, one in the Crown Tundra itself, one in the Isle of Armor, and one in Galar's own Wild Area.

In doing all this, Victor/Gloria eventually reports these back to Peony, and eventually they go all the way to the [[Max Lair]] and rejoin Peonia, in which they all partake in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s. In the midst of these, it is revealed a strange Pokémon appeared in the Max Lair and multiple [[Ultra Beast]]s came as well: eventually, Victor/Gloria discover that it was in fact {{p|Necrozma}}, and reports it to Peony, which is then noticed by the scientist running the [[Max Lair]].

After having explored the [[Crown Tundra]], Victor/Gloria receives a call from [[Leon]], who formally invites them to the [[Galarian Star Tournament]] in Wyndon, which involves two-on-two [[Multi Battle]]s, and Victor/Gloria partners with either Hop or Marnie in a series of battles against all of Galar's Gym Leaders and emerges victorious.

==Geography==
[[File:Galar Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Galar in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The Galar region is an expansive region, including varied environments such as idyllic countrysides, contemporary cities, and snow-covered mountains. Galar comprises a long mainland area as well as an outlying island area, the [[Isle of Armor]], east of the mainland.

The extreme south of the Galarian mainland includes the [[Crown Tundra]]. This area is isolated from the rest of the mainland by a tall mountain range, which extends north along both mainland coasts. However, the Galarian train system allows for travel through these mountains.

Just north of the southern mountains, in the broad valley between its coastal spurs, lie the dense [[Slumbering Weald]] and nearby village of [[Postwick]]. This valley also marks the beginning of a long stretch of plains dotted with hills, ending just north of [[Hammerlocke]], that cover the majority of mainland Galar. These plains are home to two of the three main cities in Galar: Hammerlocke and [[Motostoke]]. Various arid, rocky environments sit at the northern edges of the plains, including the cliffs outside [[Stow-on-Side]] on {{rt|6|Galar}} and the ruins south of [[Circhester]] on {{rt|8|Galar}}. In northwest Galar, surrounding [[Ballonlea]], is the [[Glimwood Tangle]], a thick, gloomy forest. East of this forest lies a broad tundra that includes the city of Circhester and a range of mountains that separates the metropolis of [[Wyndon]] from the rest of Galar.

The Isle of Armor sits in the sea to the east, closest to the mainland town of [[Spikemuth]]. Much of the isle consists of rolling hills and tree-filled valleys that rise from its long beaches. Despite being an island, it is connected to mainland Galar's train system with dedicated [[Flying Taxi]]s.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it was revealed Galar is far enough away from Kanto (and presumably Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh) to require airplanes for travel between them. Dialogue in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|the games]] reveals that Galar is within swimming distance of Kalos.

===Demographics===
The Galar region has a total population of 727, including all towns, cities, and other areas. Upon its introduction in [[Generation VIII]], it became the {{tt|fifth|While Sinnoh has a lower population than Galar in Diamond and Pearl, it has a higher population in Platinum.}} largest region by population.

===Notable locations===
Galar has 12 cities and towns. Like in [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]], Galarian route numbers start from 1, likely due to the geographical isolation of these regions from both the original four regions and each other. There are 10 routes in total, all on the Galarian mainland, divided into four groups:
* {{rt|1|Galar}} & {{rt|2|Galar}} in southern Galar, around [[Wedgehurst]] and surrounding locations;
* {{rt|3|Galar}}, {{rt|4|Galar}}, & {{rt|5|Galar}} in central Galar, forming a loop between [[Motostoke]] and the nearby towns;
* {{rt|6|Galar}}, {{rt|7|Galar}}, {{rt|8|Galar}}, & {{rt|9|Galar}} in central Galar, around [[Hammerlocke]] and the nearby towns; and
* {{rt|10|Galar}} in northern Galar, connecting to the southern gates of [[Wyndon]].
Unlike in most other regions, it is impossible to travel through Galar using just these routes. Instead, a train system connects different cities and towns, and thus connects the different sets of routes.

The Galar region also has an extensive area called the [[Wild Area]] which adjoins several towns and cities in the region.

* Between [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]], the two version-exclusive [[Gym]]s show up in different colors on the map. After the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], an extra set of train tracks and a train station were added to the main part of the Galar map. After the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], an additional set of train tracks was added. These train tracks appear even if the player has not purchased the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]].

==Galar League==
{{main|Galar League}}
The Galar League is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the Galar region. Trainers who have received a letter of [[endorsement]] may compete in the Gym Challenge. After obtaining the eight [[Badge]]s of the region, a Trainer may participate in the annual Champion Cup at [[Wyndon Stadium]].

==Trivia==
* Galar is the only [[core series]] [[region]] to:
** Not have a [[Pokémon academy]].
** Not have an [[Elite Four]].
*** A similar role is fulfilled by the Champion Cup.
** Contain a single landmass with a map that does not fit on the screen. Previous regions with multiple maps either [[Kanto|contained]] or [[Alola|were]] archipelagos.
** Introduce four [[fossil]]s, the most of any region so far.
*** Despite this, the region does not beat the record for most Fossil Pokémon introduced (five in [[Kanto]]) due to the Galarian Fossil Pokémon being unable to evolve.
** Have two [[Gym Leader]]s resign from their posts over the course of a single game's plot.
** Not have a male [[Pokémon Professor]].
* Galar is the first region to:
** Contain no settlements that end in "City" or "Town" in their English names.
** Have a {{type|Dark}} Gym.
** Not have a [[Victory Road]].
** To introduce Fossil Pokémon that are not {{type|Rock}}, incapable of {{pkmn|breeding}}, and do not have genders.
** Introduce no [[Mythical Pokémon]] at the time of its release.
** Not have an {{pkmn|anime}} [[series]] solely dedicated to [[Ash Ketchum]] fully exploring the region in a journey.
* In keeping with the sports theme of the region's Gyms, the names of the cities and towns in Galar are derived from sports terminology.
* Galar has the second fewest numbered [[route]]s of any core series region, with a total of ten. [[Paldea]] has none at all.
* Galar is tied with [[Unova]] as the region that has the most [[Gym Leader]]s, with a total of 14.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Galar is constantly depicted with a cloudy, gray sky, similar to the common weather of the country it's based on, the {{wp|United Kingdom}}.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Galar is "Galarian", as seen in the term {{rf|Galarian|Form}}.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United Kingdom|United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland}}''' in 1999 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]], both in English.

==Pokémon games==
All Pokémon games that have been released in {{pmin|the United States}} have also been released in the United Kingdom, with the exception of [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]. Additionally, English-language versions of [[Pokémon Tetris]] and [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]] have been released in the United Kingdom, despite the title never being released in North America. The United Kingdom release dates tend to be some time after the American release dates, with the exception of {{g|Dash}}, [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], and {{game|Black and White|s}}, which were released in the United Kingdom before the United States.

Games that are released in the United Kingdom are inconsistent with {{wp|American and British English spelling differences|British English spelling}}. For example, spelling variations such as ''color'' and ''center'' are not changed to ''colour'' and ''centre'' for the UK releases. This is due to most games using a single English translation as localised by [[The Pokémon Company International]] in the United States. However, the [[Generation VIII]] games reference some British slang such as "rubbish", "mum" and "chaps", as the [[Galar]] region is based on Great Britain.

===Event Pokémon===
[[Event Pokémon]] have been released in the United Kingdom sporadically. An event in 2005 known as "The Hunt for Deoxys" was held at Vue cinemas for two days each across the country, where players of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}} were able to download the [[AuroraTicket]]. The recent introduction of Wi-Fi events has allowed UK players access to many previously unavailable event Pokémon. Prior to this, very few event Pokémon were made available to UK players, and when events at malls and other stores were held, many parts of the country were overlooked. This changed in [[Generation V]], where in-store events became much more wide-spread across the country.

==Pokémon anime==
===ITV===
[[File:ITV Logo.png|thumb|200px|ITV channel logo since 2019]]
{{wp|ITV (TV network)|ITV}} is a British {{wp|free-to-air}} television network first launched on September 22, 1955<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/september/22/newsid_3131000/3131477.stm ''On This Day - 1955: New TV channel ends BBC monopoly'' - BBC News] (retrieved May 20, 2020)</ref>. The network is split into 14 regional licences and a "national breakfast time" licence. These licences were originally awarded to separate companies that would produce local programming for their region as well as sharing programmes across the network. However, these companies eventually merged and by 2015<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/itv-buys-irish-broadcaster-utv-for-100m-a6700716.html ''ITV buys Irish broadcaster UTV for £100m'' - The Independent] (retrieved May 20, 2020)</ref> the network was made up of three channels owned by two companies; {{wp|ITV (TV channel)|ITV}} and {{wp|UTV (TV channel)|UTV}} owned by {{wp|ITV plc}} and {{wp|STV (TV channel)|STV}} owned by {{wp|STV Group}}. The three channels broadcast largely the same content, although there continue to be local news broadcasts in the 14 regional areas.

From 1999 to 2001 and in 2003, the Pokémon anime aired as part of the programf ''{{wp|SMTV Live}}'', a Saturday-morning children's television programme which aired between August 29, 1998 and December 27, 2003 across the ITV network. Between 1999 and 2001, the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment of anime episodes was replaced by SMTV hosts {{wp|Ant & Dec}} (and often other celebrity guests) performing a "[[Pokérap|PokéRap]]"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSsp-Gpx1VE ''B*Witched - PokéRap - SM:TV Live 2000'' - VHS-Portal] (YouTube) (retrieved May 20, 2020)</ref> or "Pokéfight"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l08XV0nuhfE ''Bryan Westlife Pokemon- Ant & Dec'' - Julesy83] (YouTube) (retrieved May 20, 2020)</ref> {{wp|SMTV Live#Sketches|sketch}} instead.

On June 6, 2004, [[S06|season six]] began airing on GMTV's Sunday ''Up on the Roof'' block, with one new episode being shown every week up until ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]'' in mid-October that year when the show was removed following news of its cancellation.<ref>[http://pkmn.net/?action=news&page=viewnews&id=442/ ''Up On The Roof Axed!'' - PKMN.NET] (retrieved May 20, 2020)</ref>

Since its launch, the CITV channel has shown the terrestrial premiere of [[S09|season nine]] and was the main British broadcaster for ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

===Pokémon movies===
The first three Pokémon movies, as well as the [[M20|20th]] and [[M21|21st]], were released theatrically, accompanied by the same [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] promotions as the US releases. The [[M01|first movie]] was released on April 14, 2000 to coincide with the two week Easter school holidays; the [[M02|second movie]] on December 22, 2000; the [[M03|third movie]] on April 6, 2001; and the 21st movie on November 24, 2019. The first three movies were released on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray; and the 20th and 21st on DVD and Blu-ray.

Every movie after the first three would be released on an irregular basis. Both the [[M04|fourth]] and [[M05|fifth movies]] were released directly to DVD in 2003 and 2005 respectively, while the [[M06|sixth movie]]'s DVD release came in 2006. In the same year, the [[M08|eighth]] and [[M09|ninth movies]] aired on Cartoon Network, but would not make video releases until 2015, when they were {{n|Eighth and ninth Pokémon movies are now available on iTunes|released on iTunes}}. In 2008, the [[M10|tenth movie]] was released on DVD. All of the movies from the [[M11|eleventh]] onward would be aired on television a reflectively short time after the US, on both CITV and Disney XD. In 2012, seven years after the US release, the [[M07|seventh movie]] finally saw the light of day in the country when it was released on DVD.

Additionally, the special episode ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' (marketed as a direct-to-video movie outside of Japan) saw a UK release on VHS. The DVD version was never released for unknown reasons.

The live-action ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' movie was filmed in London. It was released in the UK on May 10th, 2019.

===Home releases===
The VHS releases of Indigo League, as well as the first 3 Movies, ''Mewtwo Returns'' and ''Pikachu's Winter Vacation'' were distributed by Warner Home Video, under the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment label.

''Pokemon 4Ever'' and ''Pokemon Heroes''' original releases were distributed by Buena Vista Home Entertainment, under the Miramax Home Entertainment label.

''Jirachi Wish Maker'' was distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment U' under license from Miramax Home Entertainment.

''Destiny Deoxys'', alongside the re-releases of 4Ever and Heroes were distributed by StudioCanal for Miramax, who was sold off by Disney in 2010, and included all of Miramax's library of movies.

''The Rise of Darkrai'' was distributed by '''Network''', a company who are known for releasing old British TV shows onto home media. They had plans to release other Pokemon material and even had a dedicated section to the franchise on their website.

The eleventh through fifteenth films were distributed by '''Universal Studios Home Entertainment UK'''.

As of 2016, '''Manga Entertainment''' distributes the Anime on DVD and Blu-Ray, and own the rights to all seasons of the show, and all the movies apart from the ones that Miramax own.

==Pokémon manga==
[[Pokémon manga]] licensed and translated into English is distributed in the United Kingdom by [[VIZ Media]], including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] series.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is sold throughout the United Kingdom, with released matching those in {{pmin|the United States}}.

When it was first released, the game was very popular among UK children. Like in many other countries, the TCG was eventually banned in most schools, because of "classroom distraction". Conflict between students regarding Trading Cards also resulted in the cards being banned from some schools. Its popularity faded out as it was replaced by other popular crazes such as {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|Yu-Gi-Oh! cards}}, although it has seen a resurgence in recent years.

In 2020, the {{tcg|Pokémon Futsal Collection}} was exclusively released in England.

==Pokémon merchandise==
[[File:Official Pokémon Magazine.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Cover artwork of the first issue of the 2013 [[Pokémon Official Magazine]] available in the UK]]
{{bulbanews/2|Official Pokémon Magazine to launch in UK|Fan sets Pokémon collection world record}}
The United Kingdom receives some of the same [[Pokémon merchandise]] that is available in {{pmin|the United States}}, such as plush toys which have been released in major department chains, though merchandise given away in fast food restaurants has become non-existent, as the [[Pokémon movie]]s are no longer shown at cinemas. Some collectibles, such as the [[Pokémon Advanced Action Cards]], were sold in the UK and Europe but not in North America. Despite Pokémon's decline in popularity, merchandise can be found in UK stores, such as {{wp|Game (retailer)|GAME}} and {{wp|W H Smith}}.

A [[Pokémon Daily Express CD-ROM|promotional CD-ROM]] was released in the UK newspaper Daily Express in 2001. When played in a CD player, it would play a sample of the song {{so|Gotta Catch 'Em All}} by 50.Grind. When played in a computer, additional features could be accessed, such as desktop wallpapers, the music video to Gotta Catch 'Em All, and other content.

A [[Pokémon Official Magazine]] was started up in 2004 in the United Kingdom. It was intended to have a quarterly release schedule, but it was cancelled after its second issue due to low sales. In February 2013, it was announced by Future Publishing that the Pokémon Official Magazine would be returning to the UK, with a publishing schedule of 13 issues per year. However, this was also soon cancelled after publishing 13 issues. A third Pokémon Official Magazine started on 29 March 2017. [[Pocket World]] magazine was also published in the United Kingdom, although it does not exclusively cover Pokémon, being made up of several other franchises that involve 'cartoon brands staring monsters' (such as {{wp|Moshi Monsters}}, {{wp|Bakugan}} and {{wp|Redakai}}).

A UK Pokémon fan, [[Lisa Courtney]], holds the {{wp|Guiness World Record}} for having the largest Pokémon memorabilia.<ref>[http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-collection-of-pokemon-memorabilia ''The largest collection of Pokémon memorabilia'' - Guinness World Records]</ref>

==Events==
{{bulbanews/3|Tenth anniversary event tours United Kingdom|Pokémon Adventure Tour UK events announced|Pokémon Animation Studio attraction to open in London}}

These ten Pokémon were chosen by Nintendo of Europe following a popularity poll earlier in the year. Other activities at the events included [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]] stations and {{pkmn|anime}} episode screenings.

The '''Pokémon Global Link''' (Japanese: '''ポケモングローバルリンク''' ''Pokémon Global Link'') is an internet multiplayer feature in the [[Generation V]], {{gen|VI}}, and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games. It offers similar features to the [[Global Terminal]] in [[Generation IV]] and was replaced by [[Nintendo Switch Online]] and [[Pokémon HOME]] in [[Generation VIII]].

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the option of connecting to the Global Link is activated with an item called the [[Dream Mist]]. This is obtained early in the game from a {{p|Munna}}. If the Dream Mist is given to [[Fennel]], she will give away the [[C-Gear]] and activate the menu option that would allow the player to set up the Global Link. The Generation V Global Link allowed players to enter the [[Pokémon Dream World]] where they could catch Pokémon otherwise not obtainable in [[Unova]].

In [[Generation VI]], despite the absence of the Pokémon Dream World, other features were introduced, such as the [[PokéMileage Club]].

{{bulbanews/3|International Pokémon Global Link launch delayed|Earthquake delays international Global Link launch|Global Link for Generation V games to shut down Jan. 14}}
In the early days of the Black and White release, the website was [[n:Global Link disconnected|temporarily closed because of traffic concerns]]. The site was originally set to be back up September 29, 2010, ten days after closing down, but this was moved to October 4. Due to maintenance the Pokémon Dream World did not open to the public until October 13.

To fix the site for the international release of Black and White, planned to be released March 30, 2011, the previously Japanese-only Global Link was disabled of certain features on certain dates. From March 18 to 22, no Pokémon could be obtained from [[Pokémon Dream World]]. From March 22 to March 30, Global Link, as well as [[Game Sync]], was made unavailable. This however was extended due to the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}}. Despite delays, {{DL|Pokémon.com online games|Play to Befriend a Pokémon!}}, a game that allowed players to obtain one of the [[Eeveelution]]s with their respective Hidden Abilities, was made available on March 28. On the other hand, Global Link itself again became available on April 12, 2011, which was also the premiere of the international versions of the Global Link.

In June 2012, the website underwent another revamp in both appearance and to accommodate compatibility with {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}; it was down between June 5 and June 20. During this time, the [[Global Battle Union]] was inaccessible and the Game Sync function was inoperable.

====Closure====
Between October 1, 2013 to October 12, 2013, the Pokémon Global Link was closed for maintenance in preparations for ''Pokémon X'' and ''Y''. Following this maintenance, users were temporarily unable to sign up for new accounts, add additional games to existing accounts and lost access to the demo. On December 10, 2013, players were no longer able to tuck in new Pokémon, but could still play with and awaken those already asleep until January 14, 2014. Once the deadline had been reached, the service was closed down and with it the ability for players to change their [[C-Gear]] skin, [[Pokémon Musical]] song, or [[Pokédex]] skin. Until the 20th May 2014, players who had yet to do so may still awaken their Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130905135612/http://ja.pokemon-gl.com/about/e_notice/ 『ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト・ブラック２・ホワイト２』版　「ポケモングローバルリンク」サービス終了のお知らせ] [Pokemon Global Link End of Service Announcement]. ''Pokemon Global Link'' (in Japanese). 01 July 2013. Archived from [http://ja.pokemon-gl.com/about/e_notice/ the original] on 05 September 2013.</ref>

The [[Global Trade System|GTS]] was not affected by this closure, except that the trade history became no longer viewable since it was only viewable on the website.. Random Matchup Rating Mode was shut down, although Free Mode remained available until May 20, 2014, when online support for [[Nintendo DS]] games were terminated.

===Generation VI===
The Generation VI version of the Pokémon Global Link launched on October 12, 2013. Players who registered on the [[Pokémon X and Y]] Global Link with the same username as on the Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 and White 2 Global Link until January 14, 2014 got a certain number of [[Poké Mile]]s on the [[PokéMileage Club]], depending on the quantity of Dream Points obtained on the other version of the website. This bonus was applied to all of the registered Generation VI games, without a split in the reward.

====Closure====
On November 1, 2016, the Global Link shut down to make room for the next [[Generation VII|generation]]. On July 26, 2016, the prices of everything in the PokéMileage shop were halved, and Ability Capsules were made available for 5,000 Poké Miles.<ref>[https://archive.is/pvLVX Closure of the Pokémon Global Link service for Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, and Pokémon Y]. ''Pokémon Global Link''. 19 July 2016. Archived from [http://www.pokemon-gl.com/oras/close_announcement/en/ the original] on 20 July 2016.</ref>

===Generation VII===
{{incomplete|section}}
The Generation VII version of the Pokémon Global Link launched on November 18, 2016.

===Maintenance===
The Global Link site undergoes routine maintenance every week. During maintenance all features of the website, as well as the in-game [[Game Sync]], cannot be accessed; maintenance may interrupt those currently using Dream World. Despite this weekly maintenance, the site may undergo additional maintenance when the need rises. Prior to the site closing down to accommodate international versions of Black and White, maintenance was done every Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. JST. Prior to the site closing down to accommodate Black 2 and White 2, maintenance was done every Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. JST. Currently, the schedule for maintenance is as follows, according to the [http://en.pokemon-gl.com/maintenance/ web][http://ja.pokemon-gl.com/maintenance/ site]:


* Japan and Korea: Tuesdays 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. JST/KST
* US: Mondays 8 p.m. to midnight EDT
* UK: Tuesdays 7 a.m. to Wednesdays 1 a.m. UTC
* Australia: Tuesdays 3 p.m. to Wednesdays 9 p.m. AWST

Occasionally, the amount of time for the maintenance may change. In addition, players who use Pokémon Trainer Club accounts may not be able to access Global Link if the Trainer Club is under maintenance (i.e. if Trainer Club is under maintenance, players may not access the English-language Global Link, but they may access the Japanese-language Global Link).

The Rating Battles section of the Global Link shows the Trainer rankings and Pokémon rankings for different types of battles or over all types battles. Clicking a player shows their record, while clicking a Pokémon shows various statistics for it, including its top [[move]]s, {{Abilities}}, [[Nature]]s, held items, and teammates; its top moves used to win and the top Pokémon it beat; and the top moves used to beat it and the top Pokémon that beat it.

===Online Competitions===
{{main|Battle Spot#Online Competitions|Battle Spot → Online Competitions}}
Players may sign up to participate in special Online Competitions using a registered game. Online Competitions may have special rules and regulations, and all players start the competition with the same Rating. For more information, see the Global Link's [http://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/support/2/en/manual/manual_battle/about-online-competitions/ online manual].

The Online Competitions section of the Global Link shows current and past competitions. Clicking on one of the past competitions will allow the user to view details of that competition, including the regulations it used, its final rankings, and statistics about the Pokémon used, just like in the Rating Battles section.

===Profile===
The Profile displays information about the user's activity on the Global Link and, to a limited extent, in their game. If the user allows it in their privacy settings, other people may be able to view the user's Profile. Privacy settings can be customized separately for separate pages of the Profile, and even for different registered games. If their privacy setting is set to "Everyone", the user will also be able to share aspects of their Profile on social networks.

Some aspects of the profile may take some time to update after a game is synced.
;Game Info
This page lists the user's: [[Game Sync]] ID, time of the most recent Game Sync, 3DS location setting, number of Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], play time, date adventure was begun and (if applicable) date the [[Hall of Fame]] was first entered, number of [[Badge]]s obtained, and game message. The Game Sync ID and play time cannot be viewed by other people.

;Logbook
The logbook is a timeline that tracks events in-game and happenings on the Global Link website. Every time the player syncs their game, the logbook will show information about the achievement of important milestones in the main story or about other noteworthy happenings, such as new [[Medal]]s or [[Photography|photo]]s, prizes won in the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner|lottery]], and {{pkmn|Egg}}s received from the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day Care]]. The logbook may also show information concerning the user's activity on the Global Link, such as participation in an Online Competition.

A user may delete an entry in their own timeline, but this only affects the Logbook. For example, deleting an entry about a new Medal does not delete that Medal from the Medals page.

;PokéMileage Club
This page keeps track of the user's [[Poké Mile]] usage history in the [[PokéMileage Club]], any items yet to be sent to the selected game using Game Sync, and any items previously sent to the game. This page of the Profile is not visible to other people.

;Rating Battles
This page displays the user's record for the current or past seasons of Rating Battles and records of recent matches.

;Online Competitions
This page displays records of the user's Online Competition matches and a history of the user's participation in Online Competitions.

;Global Trade Station
This page displays records of Pokémon the user has traded over the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]]. It also displays the Pokémon the user currently has deposited (if any) and the Pokémon they want for it.

;Medals
This page displays a list of [[Medal]]s the player has earned for actions in the game or on the Global Link website.

;Photos
This page is where the user can view [[photography|photos]] uploaded from their game. When the user syncs their game, the most recently taken photo is uploaded to the Global Link. At first, the user may only store 12 photos, but starting at 20 Medals, the user will be able to store an extra 12 photos for every 10 extra Medals, up to a maximum of 60 photos at 50 Medals. If a new photo is uploaded when the user already has the maximum number of photos stored, the oldest photo will be overwritten. The user may lock certain photos to prevent them from being overwritten, but at least one photo must always remain unlocked.

;Friend List
This page displays the user's roster of Friends, Acquaintances, and Favorites from the [[Player Search System]].

;Super-Secret Base{{sup/6|ORAS}}
This page displays information about the user's [[Secret Base|Super-Secret Base]], including the name and location of the base, the Pokémon on the user's team and the battling format in the base, and a QR Code others can use to access the user's Super-Secret Base.

==Generation V Global Link features==
[[File:Japanese only Global Link.png|thumb|320px|Global Link prior to the site changes]]
===Pokémon Dream World===
{{main|Pokémon Dream World}}
The Pokémon Dream World allowed players to befriend a Pokémon, as well as find items, using a Pokémon they sent using Game Sync by playing various mini-games, as well as exploring the Island of Dreams.

===Global Battle Union===
{{main|Global Battle Union}}
The Global Battle Union or GBU recorded statistics obtained over the Random Matchup feature found in Black and White. Participating players were given ranks that were tallied every season. The GBU also hosted tournaments through the Random Matchup feature.

===Profile===
The profile allowed players to see various pieces of information, such as the most-recent six Pokémon they had befriended on Dream World, the Pokémon they had sent via Game Sync, their neighbors on Dream World, the number of Dream Points they had, the Badges they had earned in the game that was synced to the Global Link website, the people that had been traded with over the [[Global Trade System|GTS]], and people registered in their [[Pal Pad]]. They could also edit their avatars and input a code corresponding to their favorite [[Vs. Recorder|Battle Video]].

Accordingly, per account, a player could only have ten Dream Pals on their Dream Pal Roster. This total counted toward registered neighbors as well as pending requests the player had sent. The received requests made by other players did not count toward this number. While the total was ten, a player could not accept a request made while inside the Dream World, unless either a Dream Pal or a Dream Pal request was deleted from the roster on the Global Link profile, to a number less than ten. The Dream World site referred to this as "organizing," as requests can only be accepted while playing in the Dream World.

===Customize===
This option allowed players to customize certain aspects of Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, or White 2. These included the [[Pokédex]] and [[C-Gear]] skins, as well as [[Pokémon Musical]] shows. These customizations could be set in the game after using the Game Sync feature to wake up a Pokémon from {{pkmn|Dream World}}.

===E-Z Mail===
The E-Z Mail option let a user send and receive messages called '''E-Z Mail''' with Game and Dream Pals over Pokémon Global Link. The letters themselves were preconstructed, with users only able to fill in the blanks using the [[easy chat system]].

===Promotions===
[[File:DW Obtain Victini Doll.png|thumb|250px|Obtaining the Victini Doll]]
{{main|List of Pokémon Global Link promotions}}
The Pokémon Global Link occasionally had promotions players could participate in for a certain period of time. Promotions granted players access to various things. These included Pokémon, Décor, and catalogues obtainable at the Pokémon Dream world, C-Gear skins, Musical shows, and Pokédex skins accessible through the Customization part of the site, as well as special homes players could access in the Dream World. Promotions were usually done in collaboration with other parts of the Pokémon franchise, such as merchandise like {{pkmn|books}}, the {{Trading Card Game}}, and the {{pkmn|anime}}.

Some of these had passwords players had to input before being able to participate in the promotions. Passwords could be of one-time use, requiring players to purchase merchandise.

==Trivia==
* The English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian websites can be used regardless of the language of the game.
* The art style used for the Pokémon Global Link is not exclusive to the site; it has been used in various other parts of the franchise, including {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores and {{g|Channel}}, before the Global Link even emerged.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United Kingdom|United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland}}''' in 1999 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]], both in English.

==Pokémon games==
All Pokémon games that have been released in {{pmin|the United States}} have also been released in the United Kingdom except [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]. Additionally, English language versions of [[Pokémon Tetris]] and [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]] have been released in the United Kingdom, despite the title never being released in North America. The United Kingdom release dates tend to be some time after the American release dates, with the exception of {{g|Dash}}, [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], and {{game|Black and White|s}}, which were released in the United Kingdom before the United States.

Games that are released in the United Kingdom are inconsistent with {{wp|American and British English spelling differences|British English spelling}}. For example, spelling variations such as ''color'' and ''center'' are not changed to ''colour'' and ''centre'' for the UK releases. This is due to most games using a single English translation as localised by [[The Pokémon Company International]] in the United States.

===Event Pokémon===
[[Event Pokémon]] have been released in the United Kingdom sporadically. An event in 2005 known as "The Hunt for Deoxys" was held at Vue cinemas for two days each across the country, where players of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}} were able to download the [[AuroraTicket]]. The recent introduction of Wi-Fi events has allowed UK players access to many previously unavailable event Pokémon. Prior to this, very few event Pokémon were made available to UK players, and when events at malls and other stores were held, many parts of the country were overlooked. This changed in [[Generation V]], where in-store events became much more wide-spread across the country.

==Pokémon anime==
[[File:Sky1.png|thumb|150px|left|Sky1's current logo, introduced in 2016]]
===Sky1===
The [[original series]] and {{series|Advanced Generation}} aired on {{wp|Sky1}}, a British channel which is owned by {{wp|Sky plc}}. They began airing the anime on the 29 March 1999. It aired episodes on weekdays at 9am. It continued to air every season up to [[S07|Advanced Challenge]] in 2005.

===Sky One Mix===
Sky One Mix was a sister channel to Sky1 that shared many of the latters programming, including the Pokémon anime, which aired on an irregular basis. The channel was later rebranded as simply Sky Mix, and finally Sky2. Like Sky1, the channel has since dropped Pokémon from its line-up.

===ITV/ITV1===
[[File:ITV1.png|thumb|150px|ITV's logo]]
Pokémon also previously aired on '''ITV''' (later ITV1, later reverted back to ITV) from 1999 to 2004. ITV is a public service network station that broadcasts in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is currently owned by {{wp|ITV plc}}, formerly {{wp|Carlton Communications}} and {{wp|Granada plc}}. ITV plc is the only company that has broadcast the {{pkmn|anime}} on UK terrestrial television. Although it no longer airs episodes, its sister channel '''CITV''' continues to do so, originally simulcast upon {{wp|ITV4}} until June 2010, when the GMTV2 block on ITV4 was removed.

Before CITV had its own channel, it had a block on ITV from 15:30 to 17:15 on weekdays. Pokémon aired regularly in this block starting in 1999, showing episodes from [[S01|The Indigo League]] and [[S02|Adventures in the Orange Islands]].

GMTV is an early-morning programming block on ITV. Episodes of Pokémon used to air every Saturday beginning at 8:50 and ending by 9:25. It was originally shown in this time slot from September 1999 until April 2003, airing episodes from The Indigo League, Adventures in the Orange Islands and [[S03|The Johto Journeys]].

On June 6, 2004, [[S06|Pokemon Advanced]] aired on Sunday mornings on the GMTV 'Up on the roof' block with shows such as YuGiOh, Totally Spies and The TMNT 2003 series. One episode a week was aired untill [http://pkmn.net/?action=news&page=viewnews&id=442/ Mid-October] when it was cancelled. [[Brave the Wave]] was the last episode to be shown on the whole ITV network until early 2015 when the whole [[Advanced Generation]] series aired on CITV.

{{wp|SM:TV Live}} was a live Saturday morning entertainment show with a 9:25 to 11:30 block which ended in 2003. It would replace the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment with small sketches that featured the hosts, {{wp|Ant & Dec}}, having their own "PokéFight". Some later episodes featured the duo performing their own [[Kanto Pokérap]].

ITV has, on more than one occasion, skipped episodes or canceled airings mid-series. These are planned as the TV guides published over a week before date of transmission reflect this. This is not uncommon practice as it has also happened to {{wp|ReBoot}}, {{wp|Cardcaptor Sakura|Cardcaptors}}, {{wp|Digimon#Anime meta-series|Digimon}} and {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh!}}. This is not limited to children's animation, with the initial run of Season 1 of {{wp|Pushing Daisies}} being the most prominent example of a non-children's program.

Pokémon has been cancelled prematurely twice; once during the [[S02|Orange Islands]] saga on CITV and once just after [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] started on GMTV. Neither series has been seen on ITV since.

===Cartoon Network TOO===
[[File:CartoonNetworkToo-logo.png|thumb|150px|Cartoon Network TOO's logo]]
Cartoon Network TOO (CN Too for short) was a spin-off television channel of {{wp|Cartoon Network UK}}. As its name suggests, it contains programming that aired on both {{wp|Cartoon Network}} and {{wp|Toonami}}.

Formally known as Toonami, the channel was the location of the world premiere of [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. CN TOO and Cartoon Network went on to show the UK premiere of seasons 8, 9 and 10 as well as gradually going through the older seasons starting from season 3. The final new season to premier on the channel was [[S10|Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]] before the series migrated to Jetix (later Disney XD) from [[S11|Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]] onward. CN TOO continued to show repeats of older seasons after the migration, until late 2010.

The channel closed down on April 1st 2014.

===CITV===
[[File:CITV.png‎|thumb|150px|CITV's current logo]]
Currently, the anime airs on '''CITV''', a United Kingdom TV digital network station owned by {{wp|ITV}}. It shares its name with the former programming block on '''ITV1''', CITV's parent channel. This channel is free to view on almost all UK Digital TV systems. It is also available over the internet as streaming television on their website. The channel is currently the first to air new episodes on UK television.

As its own channel it has shown the English dub of ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' and the {{series2|Best Wishes}}, {{series2|XY}}, and {{series|Sun & Moon}}. They have also shown all four {{Series|Diamond & Pearl}} {{pkmn|movie}}s, as well as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]. It has shown episodes that were simulcast on ITV.

In October 2012, it began transmitting episodes of ''[[S15|Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]'' in late weekend morning programming slots. Beginning May 19, 2013, the channel began airing two back-to-back episodes of ''[[S16|Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova]]'' on Sunday mornings. Episodes that are shown on CITV are usually repeated several months later on Disney XD.

On 5 April 2014, CITV began airing ''[[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. All four episodes of [[Pokémon Origins]] aired on CITV from May 27, 2014 through May 30, 2014; each consecutive episode airing at 7:35 am.

On 6 April 2015, CITV began airing ''[[S18|Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest]]'' on a weekly basis.

On 9 April 2016, CITV began airing ''[[S19|Pokemon the Series: XYZ]]'' as part of a mini-marathon including the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'' and the repeat of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.

CITV began airing ''[[S21|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon—Ultra Adventures]]'' over five days from 26 March to 31 March 2018 at 8:20 am. From 3 April to 13 April, episodes aired on Tuesday through Friday mornings. CITV aired the show over four days from 29 May to 1 June at 8:25 am. From 13 August to 30 August, new episodes resumed airing on Monday through Thursday mornings at 9:00 am. New episodes then resumed airing on Tuesday through Friday mornings from 23 October to 2 November at 7:45 am. New episodes resumed airing from 26 December to 28 December at 11:35 am, and then on weekday mornings from 31 December 2018 to 4 January 2019, usually at 11:00 am. On 1 January, ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'' aired at the later time of 11:15 am, immediately after the United Kingdom TV debut of the film ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', which started at 9:25 am.

The broadcast of ''Ultra Adventures'' in the United Kingdom regularly led to it overtaking the weekly schedule of the English dub in the United States.

Additionally, ITV use a service on [https://www.itv.com their website] known as the ITV Hub, which allows viewers to watch its programming on demand, including CITV programmes such as Pokémon. A list of their available Pokémon episodes can be found [https://www.itv.com/hub/pokemon/1a6988 here].

===Disney XD===
Previously known as Jetix, Pokémon migrated to the channel from Cartoon Network beginning with ''[[S11|DP: Battle Dimensions]]''. The channel continued to be Pokémon's main cable and satellite station well into its rebranding into Disney XD, before dropping the show after ''[[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. Both incarnations also aired many of the Pokémon movies during its run, starting from ''[[M10|Rise of Darkrai]]'', up to ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

===Pop/Pop Max===
{{wp|Pop Max}} began airing the Pokémon anime on 1 January 2018 with episodes from the {{series|Best Wishes}}. It has since also aired on the main {{wp|Pop (UK and Ireland)|Pop}} channel, showing episodes of the ''Best Wishes'' series and the {{series|XY}} beginning in 2018. Starting on 29 October 2018, Pop Max has started airing the ''XY'' series.

Starting on 4 March 2018, Pop and Pop Max have started airing the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. These airings are cropped into 16:9 from their original 4:3 ratio, meaning parts of the footage are cut out. Starting in May 2019, Pop and Pop Max have started airing the {{series|Original}}.

===Pokémon movies===
The first three Pokémon movies, as well as the [[M20|20th]] and [[M21|21st]], were released theatrically, accompanied by the same [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] promotions as the US releases. The [[M01|first movie]] was released on April 14, 2000 to coincide with the two week Easter school holidays; the [[M02|second movie]] on December 22, 2000; the [[M03|third movie]] on April 6, 2001; and the 21st movie on November 24, 2019. The first three movies were released on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray; and the 20th and 21st on DVD and Blu-ray.

Every movie after the first three would be released on an irregular basis. Both the [[M04|fourth]] and [[M05|fifth movies]] were released directly to DVD in 2003 and 2005 respectively, while the [[M06|sixth movie]]'s DVD release came in 2006. In the same year, the [[M08|eighth]] and [[M09|ninth movies]] aired on Cartoon Network, but would not make video releases until 2015, when they were {{n|Eighth and ninth Pokémon movies are now available on iTunes|released on iTunes}}. In 2008, the [[M10|tenth movie]] was released on DVD. All of the movies from the [[M11|eleventh]] onward would be aired on television a reflectively short time after the US, on both CITV and Disney XD. In 2012, seven years after the US release, the [[M07|seventh movie]] finally saw the light of day in the country when it was released on DVD.

Additionally, the special episode ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' (marketed as a direct-to-video movie outside of Japan) saw a UK release on VHS. The DVD version was never released for unknown reasons.

The live-action ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' movie, which is set to be released in the UK on the same day as the US, was filmed in London.

===Home releases===
The VHS releases of Indigo League, as well as the first 3 Movies, Mewtwo Returns and Pikachu's Winter Vacation were distributed by '''Warner Home Video''', under the '''Warner Bros. Family Entertainment''' label.

Pokemon 4Ever and Pokemon Heroes' original releases were distributed by '''Buena Vista Home Entertainment''', under the '''Miramax Home Entertainment''' label.

Jirachi Wish Maker was distributed by '''Paramount Home Entertainment UK''' under license from Miramax Home Entertainment.

Destiny Deoxys, alongside the re-releases of 4Ever and Heroes were distributed by '''StudioCanal''' for Miramax, who was sold off by Disney in 2010, and included all of Miramax's library of movies.

The Rise of Darkrai was distributed by '''Network''', a company who are known for releasing old British TV shows onto home media. They had plans to release other Pokemon material and even had a dedicated section to the franchise on their website, but it didn't last very long.

M11-M15 were distributed by '''Universal Studios Home Entertainment UK'''.

As of 2016, '''Manga Entertainment''' distributes the Anime on DVD and Blu-Ray, and own the rights to all the seasons of the show, and all of the movies apart from the ones Miramax own.

===Streaming services===
{{bulbanews|Pokémon anime to stream on Netflix}}
It was announced that the Pokémon anime would be coming to [[Netflix]], a subscription-based on demand service available in a wide range of countries, including the United Kingdom. Beginning from March 1, 2014, episodes of ''[[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]]'' and ''[[S14|Pokémon: Black & White]]'' became available, as well as the movies ''[[M14|Pokémon the Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram and Pokémon the Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom]]''. The Pokémon anime is also available on [[Amazon Video]].

==Pokémon manga==
[[Pokémon manga]] licensed and translated into English is distributed in the United Kingdom by [[VIZ Media]], including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] series.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], although declining in popularity, is still being sold throughout the UK.

When it was first released, the game was very popular among UK children. Like in many other countries, the TCG was eventually banned in most schools, because of "classroom distraction". Conflict between students regarding Trading Cards also resulted in the cards being banned from some schools. Its popularity faded out as it was replaced by other popular crazes such as {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|Yu-Gi-Oh! cards}}.

==Pokémon merchandise==
[[File:Official Pokémon Magazine.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Cover artwork of the first issue of the 2013 [[Pokémon Official Magazine]] available in the UK]]
{{bulbanews/2|Official Pokémon Magazine to launch in UK|Fan sets Pokémon collection world record}}
The United Kingdom receives some of the same [[Pokémon merchandise]] that is available in {{pmin|the United States}}, such as plush toys which have been released in major department chains, though merchandise given away in fast food restaurants has become non-existent, as the [[Pokémon movie]]s are no longer shown at cinemas. Some collectibles, such as the [[Pokémon Advanced Action Cards]], were sold in the UK and Europe but not in North America. Despite Pokémon's decline in popularity, merchandise can be found in UK stores, such as {{wp|Game (retailer)|GAME}} and {{wp|W H Smith}}.

A [[Pokémon Daily Express CD-ROM|promotional CD-ROM]] was released in the UK newspaper Daily Express in 2001. When played in a CD player, it would play a sample of the song {{so|Gotta Catch 'Em All}} by 50.Grind. When played in a computer, additional features could be accessed, such as desktop wallpapers, the music video to Gotta Catch 'Em All, and other content.

A [[Pokémon Official Magazine]] was started up in 2004 in the United Kingdom. It was intended to have a quarterly release schedule, but it was cancelled after its second issue due to low sales. In February 2013, it was announced by Future Publishing that the Pokémon Official Magazine would be returning to the UK, with a publishing schedule of 13 issues per year. However, this was also soon cancelled after publishing 13 issues. A third Pokémon Official Magazine started on 29 March 2017. [[Pocket World]] magazine was also published in the United Kingdom, although it does not exclusively cover Pokémon, being made up of several other franchises that involve 'cartoon brands staring monsters' (such as {{wp|Moshi Monsters}}, {{wp|Bakugan}} and {{wp|Redakai}}).

A UK Pokémon fan, [[Lisa Courtney]], holds the {{wp|Guiness World Record}} for having the largest Pokémon memorabilia.<ref>The largest collection of Pokémon memorabilia - Guinness World Records (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-collection-of-pokemon-memorabilia)</ref>


==Events==
{{bulbanews/3|Tenth anniversary event tours United Kingdom|Pokémon Adventure Tour UK events announced|Pokémon Animation Studio attraction to open in London}}
An eight-city tour was held in the United Kingdom in commemoration of the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary]]. {{DL|List of English event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|Top 10 Distribution Pokémon|ten event Pokémon}} were distributed at the events — {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}. These ten Pokémon were chosen by Nintendo of Europe following a popularity poll earlier in the year. Other activities at the events included [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]] stations and {{pkmn|anime}} episode screenings.

'''The Underground''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ちかつうろ}}''' ''Underground Path'') is an area in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} found beneath the entire [[Sinnoh]] region. Players can travel underground at any time using an [[Explorer Kit]], which they can receive from the [[Underground Man]] in [[Eterna City]]. The Underground features multiple uses of the [[Nintendo DS|DS's]] touch-screen, as the main view is on the lower touch-sensitive screen while the upper screen shows a radar map of the entire underground. It also utilizes DS Wireless Communication to allow multiple players, each with their own DS and copy of the game, to interact.

The Underground has a different [[menu]] from the one in the overworld. Mostly, it shows the different [[item]]s used; with the exception of treasures, which can be transferred to the player's [[Bag]], these are all exclusive to the area.

[[Sphere]]s are the currency of the underground. The player can bury their spheres to make them more valuable, either by leaving a sphere buried for a long time to make it grow, or by burying spheres of the same color in the same spot to merge them into a larger sphere. When spheres are buried in the same spot, their sizes are mixed together. When two or more spheres are buried on top of each other, the largest sphere is added to the smaller spheres' sizes divided by five, rounded down, plus one. Spheres can reach a maximum size of 99, with some growing faster than others. Blue, green, and red spheres grow the fastest, and are thus the least valuable. Pale spheres are the second fastest growing spheres, and are semi-valuable. Prism spheres are the slowest growing spheres, and are thereby the most valuable of all the sphere types. Burying spheres can increase the number and density of mining sparkles in the same vicinity.

There are six different areas in the Underground; each is accessible from different overworld locations. While some are readily accessible from the mainland, players must sometimes travel to far-off places like [[Fullmoon Island]] to enter these areas.

==Features==
===Exploring===
[[File:Sinnoh Underground.png|thumb|300px|right|{{ga|Lucas}} digs for treasure, while {{ga|Dawn}} sets up traps in the Underground.]]
As in the regular world, using the D-pad lets the player walk in any direction and holding "B" allows running. As the regular Bag is not able to be used in the Underground, the [[Bicycle|Bike]] is not available to increase speed further. Steps taken in the Underground do not count towards hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s or the Counter App, but time spent counts towards the overall game timer. The game cannot be paused (by closing the DS lid or otherwise) while in the Underground. Additionally, since the wireless features consume more power than usual operation, the player should be careful not to drain the battery completely while in the Underground.

There are six independent sections of the labyrinth, each accessible from different places in Sinnoh. In terms of vendors and mining treasures, the areas are equivalent. When participating in multiplayer action in the Underground, players should make sure they are all in the same set of caverns.

The vast majority of the tunnels are 5 squares wide, with some single-square-width passageways between parallel tunnels. The player can see roughly 12x15 squares on the screen at any given time (not accounting for side effects of the top-down perspective). By touching any area of the lower touch screen, a radar pulse indicates interactive objects within a 4-5 square radius, indicated by yellow sparkles. There appears to be a maximum of 8-10 sparkles that will display if a particular ping returns too many objects.

If a sparkle revealed by a ping is located on the floor of the tunnel, it is either a [[trap]] or a sphere. A difference in whether a sphere or trap is hidden in the sparkle, a trap has a white sparkle while a sphere has a golden one. If both are hidden in one spot, a trap is found first, then a sphere. If the sparkle is in the wall, it is a bulging section that can be mined.

===Mining===
[[File:Underground mining DPPt.png|thumb|right|Mining for treasure using the hammer]]
One of the main attractions of the Underground is the mining minigame. To mine, the player must find a spot where the wall 'pings' by touching the screen and looking for sparkles. These spots will appear randomly in the Underground, usually in clusters, and can be located by looking for sparkles marked on the radar screen. They appear more frequently near buried spheres, and so one way players can ensure they always have a lot of mining spots available to them is to make a "sphere garden" by burying many spheres in the same area.

The game itself is similar to {{wp|Battleship (game)|Battleship}} or {{wp|Minesweeper (computer game)|Minesweeper}}. At the start, the cave wall is shown, represented by a grid full of squares. There are three depths of wall: the tan soil, which can be broken through in one hit, the darker soil, which needs two hits to be broken through, and the large rocks, which each need three hits to be broken through. The player digs into the wall with a pick, which chips away small areas of rock, and a hammer, which breaks a larger area of the rock. Each spot will hide one to four [[item]]s, including [[sphere]]s, [[Fossil]]s, [[Revive]]s, {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}}s, [[shard]]s, pre-Generation IV [[evolutionary stone]]s, [[Plate]]s, and a few [[held item]]s. Iron pieces are also in the wall, which cannot be dug out and prevent further mining upon discovery (that is, when they are uncovered on a direct hit, no other spaces are revealed until the next hit). Upon hitting a piece of iron a small 'ping' will be heard. Each hit will bring the wall closer to collapsing; if the wall collapses before everything is dug up, the game ends and the player is rewarded with what they dug up before the wall collapsed.

In addition, if anyone else is mining nearby, a pickaxe will appear on the player's screen wherever the other player hits on their screen. This helps clear the wall without contributing to the wall's collapse.

At first, only [[Skull and Armor Fossils|Skull or Armor Fossils]] can be found depending on the game version{{sup/4|DP}} or the last digit of the player's [[Trainer ID number]]{{sup/4|Pt}}. After obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], however, the game will also yield [[Helix and Dome Fossils|Helix Fossils, Dome Fossils]], [[Old Amber]]s, [[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossils, and Claw Fossils]]. A number of items that were found rarely prior to obtaining the National Pokédex can also be found more easily now, such as the evolutionary stones. Furthermore, in the {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} games, [[Fire Stone]]s, [[Thunderstone]]s, [[Sun Stone]]s, [[Heat Rock]]s, [[Icy Rock]]s, Helix Fossils, and Claw Fossils can be found more easily in Diamond, while[[ Water Stone]]s, [[Leaf Stone]]s, [[Moon Stone]]s, [[Damp Rock]]s, [[Smooth Rock]]s, Dome Fossils, and Root Fossils can be found more easily in Pearl.

====Burying spheres====
Burying spheres is done through the Underground's [[menu]] function. It will not work, however, when the player faces a wall: spheres can only be buried in the ground. The longer the spheres remain buried, the larger they will grow. In the player's presence, their buried sphere will occasionally let off a bright glint. Buried spheres are only accessible to the player that put them there; others cannot see them, ping them, or interact with them in any way. Others can, however, take advantage of the increased mining spots generated. This can be beneficial for the player who buried the spheres and a friend (or friends), as there will be plenty of opportunities to mine side-by-side.

====Item shapes====
Items have unique shapes in the mining minigame. Larger items cover a greater area and can thus be found more easily, but take more digging to unearth.

===Secret Bases===
The Underground is also where [[Secret Base]]s are created in the [[Generation IV]] games. The spheres dug up in the mining minigame can be traded to explorers found throughout the caves for objects to furnish Secret Bases. Secret Bases can be created in any part of the wall using a [[Digger Drill]]. These bases can be decorated with ten items each.

If a player visits a Secret Base of another player, they can get that player's flag. After successfully returning the other player's flag to one's own base, the player's record is updated. The number of flags captured (either from the same "opponent" or several ones) upgrades the player's Secret Base computer. Each upgrade changes the graphic slightly (the icons resemble the evolution of personal computer technology) and also allows the player to remove additional boulders from their base using the "Store" option of the "Decorate" menu. This allows more room for decorations to be placed. Boulders that have been removed cannot be placed back into the base, although they'll reappear if a new base is created. By default, player can use only 10 decorations.

|}{{-}}

A player who has a flag cannot do anything besides store the flag in their PC. If they try, the game will alert them that they have to drop their flag first. If the owner of the flag talks to someone who has stolen it, the flag is automatically returned to their base, while if another player talks to someone who has stolen a flag, that person steals the flag from the other person, and then they can try to get the flag to their base.

===Traps===
Another feature of the underground is [[trap]]s. These can also be purchased from explorers with spheres or found in the path in the same manner that the player can find mining spots: by touching the screen and watching for sparkles on the ground. They may also be dug up, like the Spheres, by pressing the A button when next to one, facing it. Players may only carry a total of 40 traps at one time; an attempt to unearth a 41st trap will be refused and the trap left where it is. If a player steps on a trap, they may be sent flying in a specific direction, have their controls altered so they walk the wrong way, or they may have to use the stylus or microphone to clear a hazard, such as by popping bubbles or clearing smoke, or a message will be broadcast to all players in the Underground. The game will explain how to escape from a trap, however if the trap was placed by an opponent, he or she will be alerted that someone has landed in it. If one player is caught in a trap, another can face them and press A to immediately get them out of it. Since all players run at the same speed, well placed traps are the primary means of catching up to someone who has stolen a player's flag. If a player has set some of his/her own [[trap]]s they will show up as brightly colored squares with symbols matching their names. This helps the player as to not get caught in her/his own traps.

===Vendors===
A crucial feature of the underground is vendors. These explorers appear to be stationary and only rotate in place. There are three types of vendors in the underground. The first group of vendors are those who accept the player's treasures and give them spheres in return. The second group of vendors are those who accept spheres and give goods in return, and vice versa. The last group of vendors are those who accept spheres and give traps in return, and vice versa. Vendors change their prices on items and which items they sell every day, so one vendor may not have the same item for two days in a row. Vendors allow the player to decorate their Secret Base and plant traps anywhere in the underground. In the map of the underground at the top of the page, the yellow dots are the trap vendors, the red dots are the treasure vendors, and the blue dots are the goods vendors.

==Multiplayer==
When entering the Underground, the DS Wireless Communication is activated. Other players within range choosing to enter the Underground will be able to interact in the same set of tunnels. As described above, players can enter one another's Secret Bases and set traps. Additionally, digging in the walls next to each other allows players to collaborate on the excavation.

Players can talk to each other just like NPCs in the above world. In doing so, they can exchange Goods used to decorate a Secret Base, and they can communicate using a basic question and answer selection menu. Each time a player talks to another player, the counter on their card is incremented. This counter reaching 32 is one of the prerequisites for encountering {{p|Spiritomb}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:The Underground anime.png|thumb|210px|The Underground tunnels in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Underground appeared in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. While {{Ash}} was battling [[Gardenia]] for the {{Badge|Forest}}, {{TRT}} stumbled across the sprawling tunnels of the Underground. They met the [[Underground Man]], who convinced them to dig in the tunnels for [[Shard]]s and [[Sphere]]s. They agreed to split the profits with him in exchange for lunch. However, he fled with the treasure while they ate—not that they cared; the trio were happy to have some food.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:The Underground Adventures.png|thumb|150px|The Underground in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Underground's network of tunnels enabled [[Professor Rowan]], [[Mr. Berlitz]], the Underground Man, and the [[Gym Leader]]s of Sinnoh to reach the [[Spear Pillar]] and assemble without [[Team Galactic]] noticing near the end of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Air vents that serve to provide the Underground with a supply of air can be found all over the surface of Sinnoh.
* Walking into a wall will not cause the 'bump' audio to play.
* The Underground has rotational symmetry.
* The player's PC is only updated when the door is shut; if it is open then the PC reverts to the very first look.
* The Underground is featured in one of the paintings on display in [[Lumiose City|Lumiose Museum]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]].
* The Underground's background music is partially a remastered {{rt|111|Hoenn}} theme.

List of glitches in spin-off games

2017-08-10T18:15:33Z

Digifiend: /* Ditto background glitch */

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in [[spin-off Pokémon games]].

==In [[Pokémon Play It!]]==

===Bench glitch===
It is not possible to put Pokémon on the {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}} before the play starts. Instead, players must wait for their first turn to put Pokémon on the Bench. This was fixed in [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]].

===Magmar Flamethrower glitch===
No Energy card is discarded from {{TCG ID|Base Set|Magmar|36}} when using the Flamethrower attack. This was fixed in [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]].

==In [[Pokémon Puzzle League]]==

===CPU Garbage Block glitches===
{{GlitchResearch|Do these glitches occur more often in the VC release?}}
The CPU in the game is designed in a way that overlooks a Garbage Block entering the CPU's cursor. This can cause a variety of issues and glitches depending upon the board and the circumstances around how the Garbage Block entered the cursor.

====CPU lock glitch====
The CPU can occasionally lockup due to a Garbage Block falling into the CPU's cursor. During this particular issue, the cursor will stay on the Garbage Block or the edge of it and another block. Occasionally, the CPU may recover if more Garbage Blocks drop from the top of the field or if a new row of blocks is added to the bottom of the field.
{{youtubevid|ROIE7BxWiLw|CardsOfTheHeart|orange}}
{{youtubevid|9f3qASm3YHs|CardsOfTheHeart|orange}}
{{youtubevid|o3BMkyylyCg|CardsOfTheHeart|orange}}

====Softlock glitch====
The game can occasionally [[softlock]] due to the interaction between the CPU's cursor and Garbage Blocks. This will prevent the game from ending upon the blocks of one field staying at the top of the field for too long. A clear sign of this glitch occurring is when gravity no longer works on blocks.
{{youtubevid|IPtRuOV3h0I|DJPhilanegro|orange}}
{{youtubevid|MQY8WUPItro|CardsOfTheHeart|orange}}
{{youtubevid|vFjaMqePdOo|CardsOfTheHeart|orange}}

===Same character glitch===
The game can be forced to use the same name by tricking it during the character select screen. Due to how the game tracks which character is selected through the player's name, the game will switch to the character picked by that player after the first match has concluded.

{{youtubevid|BRNofZry2hg|Matthew|orange}}

==In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]==
===In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]===

====Dungeon shop glitch====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], by placing an item on the carpet and quicksaving the game, after the game is restarted Kecleon will continue to think that the item has been sold recently and will pay the sell price every time he is spoken to.

{{youtubevid|Hhi0JXFeAZ0|MrAlbrave|MD Red|MD Blue}}

===In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]===

====False thief glitch====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]], if a wild Pokémon is knocked out on a Kecleon shop and drops an item, the item is picked up like usual, but this will be considered as stealing. Even talking to Kecleon before leaving the shop won't do anything, as it wasn't set as a Kecleon shop item.

====Member join glitch====
If the player completes a job with a reward listed as ???, it means that the player will either receive an {{pkmn|Egg}}, the client will join the exploration team, or—in the case of Magnezone and Magnemite when Chansey already has an Egg—receive 1000 [[Poké]]. If one of these jobs is completed before the player can recruit new members, the game will half freeze after the text: "Thank you for rescuing <Pokémon>!" However, the background music will stay an infinite loop.

===In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]===

====Luminous Spring freeze glitch====
In North American releases of the game, the game will freeze if the player attempts to evolve a Pokémon whose nickname consists of exactly ten characters, unless it was the last Pokémon obtained. The glitch was fixed in the European and Australian versions of the game.

===In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Teams]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]]===

====Aggressive Kecleon glitch====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Team]], if a team member attacks {{p|Kecleon}} before any items are stolen (via explosion or Blast Seed), the Kecleon will proceed to become hostile and can be defeated. If Kecleon is attacked while the player is within the shop, the music played still continues to be the shopping music. When items within the shop are stepped on, the player will still not immediately pick it up and a price tag is displayed, as if it can still be purchased, regardless of whether or not the Kecleon was defeated. Regardless of whether or not any items are taken, once the player exits the shop, Kecleon will accuse the player of being a thief (even if the initial Kecleon is already defeated), causing the music to change and more Kecleon to spawn.

The glitch is still present in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] but the player will not be considered a thief unless they take an item after the shop Kecleon is defeated.

====Kecleon team member glitch====
A glitch in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] that allows the player to make Kecleon act as if it were part of the team without recruiting it. It is not present in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. It is not actually part of the team, only behaving as part of it, so it will not follow the team onto the next floor.

If Kecleon is attacked by a wild Pokémon, Kecleon will attack the Pokémon who attacked it.

Wild Pokémon will not usually attack Kecleon, but can be forced to by using a Pass Scarf to pass their attacks onto the Kecleon.

{{youtubevid|Wf3jTzfJU4U|MrAlbrave|Normal}}

===In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity===

====Defiant text oversight====
A text glitch occurs when a Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Defiant}} has its stats lowered at the same time as a team member placed after it (such as from {{m|Growl}}). The message log will use the team member's name, instead of the name of the Pokémon with Defiant, when displaying "''<Pokémon>'s Defiant Ability was activated!''"

====False thief glitch variant====
If a defeated wild Pokémon drops an item onto a shop tile, exiting the shop will prompt Kecleon to ask whether the player would like to sell the item as if they set it down themselves. The player can pick up the item as if it was a regular dropped item (the Kecleon Shop item menu doesn't pop up), but leaving the shop with said item will be considered stealing and result in Kecleon attacking the team.

====Mienfoo dialogue oversight====
When playing as the partner Pokémon, after the player Pokémon has returned to the human world and has yet to return to the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, the {{p|Mienfoo}} acquainted with the team will salute the partner Pokémon with a "''Morning, <player's name>!''" instead of "''Morning, <partner's name>!''", when spoken to in [[Post Town]].

====Serperior walk animation oversight====
If the player chose {{p|Snivy}} as their partner and evolved them into a {{p|Serperior}}, the partner's walking animation will fail to loop correctly when walking slowly in an area outside a dungeon, such as the Paradise Center.

==In the Pokémon Ranger series==
===In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia===
====Invisible wall glitch====
{{incomplete|section|Needs a video or animation}}
In [[Vien Forest]], the player can find spots where they will not be able to continue walking, even though there is nothing in their path due to the boundary of the trees.

==In the Pokémon Rumble series==
===In [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]]===
===={{p|Ditto}} move glitch====
{{Incomplete|section|Needs a video or animation}}
If a {{p|Ditto}} copies a Ditto which copied a Ditto who copied one of the player's [[Toy Pokémon]] and the Ditto is toppled and recruited, the Ditto will have one of the moves of the Pokémon that was copied originally.

====Noclip Pokémon spawn glitch====
In 4-1, if a Pokémon uses one of the long ranged skills into the main hull of the [[Temple of Keys]], it will tell that the player that they have just defeated a [[Toy Pokémon]] from the area.
This can be easily explained by spawning zones. Some other building models also have this spawn effect.

===In [[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
====Royal Competition glitch====
In any Royal Competition, it is possible to knock out a wild [[Toy Pokémon]] just when the timer hits 0. While the wild Toy Pokémon's HP will be displayed as 0, it will remain standing.

If that Toy Pokémon is the last one remaining, the "CLEAR" message will be shown on-screen, but the game will show a "Times up!" message after and the stage will not be cleared.

====Out of Bounds====
It is possible to go out of bounds. If you call your [[Mii]] character to the grassy area on the left, you must go inside the Mii and have him/her carry you over the grass and hit up and then you are out of bounds. If you go too far to the East, you can enter the void. If you go too far into the West, you will enter the castle. If you go too far to the North, the camera goes back to the plaza and you enter the castle. Going South just takes you to the plaza. To end the glitch, you can go South or enter the castle.

=====Alternate Method=====
If you get your Mii character to go into the small patch of grass, go through your Mii and have him/her carry you. Once you're in the castle from the carrying, hit left or up and you're out of bounds.

==In [[Pokémon Shuffle]]==
===Use any Pokémon glitch===
This glitch can be performed as soon as the player gets the ability to select Support Pokémon by touching the Poké Ball icon. It allows the player to use any unregistered Support Pokémon from the Support Pokémon selection screen at level 1, and the Pokémon can be brought into a game. It will not be registered as caught.

Steps:
#Enter the Support Pokémon selection screen.
#Tap the search icon.
#Change "Caught Pokémon" to "All Pokémon".
#Tap "SEARCH".
#Drag and drop a Pokémon that was already selected as a Support Pokémon with any of the 158 different Pokémon to get it as a Support Pokémon.

If the player wants to remove the icon of a non-caught Support Pokémon, they can drag an existing Support Pokémon on to it to get the existing Support Pokémon in that slot. The player cannot move the icon of a non-caught Support Pokémon directly.

This glitch was patched in version 1.0.2.
{{youtubevid|RpzleivBLqc|Scarlet_Kohaku|glitch}}

===Make a move before immediate Disruption===
In any stage where the opponent starts out with a disruption countdown of 0, it is possible to drag a Pokémon on the board to make a match the first frame the word "START!" appears before the disruption completely triggers.

==In [[Pokémon Picross]]==
===Area Map mistake===
If the player unlocks an area with a higher number than a locked area with a path that connects to it, then the paths between the locked and unlocked areas will be colored gold as if both locations are unlocked in the area select screen of the Map-Screen Menu.

==In [[Pokémon GO]]==
===Backpack freeze glitch===
If a Pokémon escapes from a [[Poké Ball]] and flees while the player attempts to open up the Backpack, then the game will freeze.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4twndp/how_do_i_and_bugs_megathread_217/d5kwm0b "How do I..." and Bugs Megathread - 21/7 - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref> In version 0.31.0, the battle screen was slightly reprogrammed, resulting in this glitch being fixed.

===Egg Hatching glitch===
{{GlitchResearch|Is there a reliable way to either trigger or avoid this glitch? Are the results somewhat random? Is there any footage or video of the glitch?}}
An {{pkmn|Egg}} can reach the requirements to hatch while in Pokémon GO, but fail to actually hatch through a combination of issues. Occasionally, the egg will fail to produce a Pokémon and disappear, though it is possible for the Pokémon to appear later on.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4s15wf/my_eggs_disappeared_what_the_fuck/ My eggs disappeared what the fuck - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4s3s9f/egg_never_hatched_no_screen_or_anything/ Egg never hatched, no screen or anything. - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4rw678/the_case_of_the_disappearing_eggs/ The case of the disappearing eggs. - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4twndp/how_do_i_and_bugs_megathread_217/d5kv6vb "How do I..." and Bugs Megathread - 21/7 - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref>

===Grimer glitch===
{{GlitchResearch|Can it occur with an iPhone or similar Apple product?}}
If a player using an Android phone encounters a Grimer or hatches a Grimer from an Egg, then the game will likely crash. This occurs in all released versions up to 0.31.0.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4rzpjg/grimers_model_makes_my_game_crash/ Grimer's model makes my game crash - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref>

===Gym glitches===
{{GlitchResearch|Is there more to this issue? Are these sub-glitches of each other?}}
If a Pokémon reaches 1HP during a battle for a {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, then the game may prevent that Pokémon from fainting in battle outside of using [[status condition]]s that do damage. This can lead to several issues such as losing the ability to switch Pokémon or being prevented from starting the battle.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4rmu75/1hp_gym_bug/d54ao9w 1hp gym bug - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref>

{{youtubevid|2wfdNzkJJ7E|channel/UC4tYRdfO1k_bK7muZEnOqUg|name=Brian Stieve|blue}}

====Egg Gym glitch====
A player can select an empty Gym and choose to place an Egg in the Gym instead of a Pokémon. The Egg will appear in the Gym with 0 CP, no model, and be unable to be fought.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4xi1ii/someone_is_placing_eggs_in_gyms_and_they_cant_be/ Someone is placing eggs in gyms and they cant be taken down - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref> 

===Pokédex glitch===
When clicking on a caught Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], the entry of the Pokémon may become distorted with the individual letters appearing down the side of the screen. Additionally, the game may revert to the entry for the first Pokémon available in the Pokédex. This glitch occurs in versions 0.29.0 to 0.29.3 and was fixed in 0.31.0.
{{youtubevid|Bbg0C_9iiGs|channel/UCbnLWnwVSqRwF2Opwv9E4Bg|name=Tutikaz Goes Insane|blue}}

===Size Medal oversights===
In version 0.29.0 of Pokémon GO, the {{tc|Youngster}} and {{tc|Fisherman}} [[Medal]]s stated that the current progress toward the requirements for the medal would be "Caught {0} Rattata/Magikarp weighing at most {1}" for all medals respectively. The intended text refers to catching a number of the required that have a specific weight indicator for the Pokémon in question, with Rattata being XS for example.

In version 0.29.2, the medals were changed to read "Caught (number of XS/XL) Rattata/Magikarp." Version 0.29.3 fully fixed the text for both medals to instead read "Caught (number) tiny/big Rattata/Magikarp."

===Shadow glitch===
If a Poké Ball is used as soon as it is available, then it can disappear under the ground and produce a growing shadow over the area. Eventually, the game will crash due to this.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4t5pfd/server_status_and_known_issues_faq/?limit=500 Server Status and Known Issues FAQ - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4tg64z/i_was_trying_to_do_the_method_where_you_throw_the/ I was trying to do the method where you throw the pokeball as quick as you can in the beginning but it ended up going into the air and creating a large shadow that look like a bottomless pit - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref> In version 0.31.0, the battle screen was slightly reprogrammed, resulting in this glitch being fixed.

===Sound bugs===
Occasionally, the game will suddenly stop playing music due to different issues. It can be caused by a notification on an Android device or an issue with getting data from the server.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4twndp/how_do_i_and_bugs_megathread_217/d5kuyg5 "How do I..." and Bugs Megathread - 21/7 - /r/pokemongo on Reddit]</ref> It occurs in all released versions up to 0.31.0.

===Three footprint glitch===
Sometime after the version 0.29.2 update, the step counter for all nearby Pokémon would always be displayed with three footprints, even if the Pokémon is visible onscreen. This continued into the 0.29.3 version and was speculated to be a server-side modification.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4u3dkk/psa_nearby_tab_is_not_broken_just_disabled/?sort=top PSA: Nearby tab is not broken, Just Disabled. - /r/pokemongo on reddit]</ref> In version 0.31.0, footprints were removed altogether.

===Ditto background glitch===
In some cases when catching a Pokémon, {{p|Ditto}} may appear on the screen along with the background when a Pokémon transforms into Ditto. This has happened in the 0.63.1 update and has not been fixed.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/6b0u5l/why_is_there_a_ditto_in_the_background_of_my/]</ref>

===Raid Boss last Premier Ball glitch===
Raid Bosses can't be caught with a player's last Premier Ball, unless it's a critical capture. Instead, the Pokémon always pops out after half a shake.<ref>[http://www.hyperpoke.com/pokemon-go-niantic-confirms-last-ball-glitch-real/]</ref>

Ranger Mission

2017-07-15T09:21:14Z

Digifiend: /* Mission 15: Calm the Sky's Rage! */ There's one more mission when you complete the Oblivia Browser.

A '''Ranger Mission''' is an official job that a {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} is assigned. Missions vary widely, and often include rescuing a Pokémon or person, helping someone, or defeating/outsmarting an enemy like the [[Go-Rock Squad]].

Rangers [[Ranger Rank|rank up]] when they return to their leader upon completion of these missions, which are assigned to one or more Rangers by a leader. [[Top Ranger]]s have the ability to assign a job as a mission without permission from a leader when the circumstances require. Ranger Rank 10 is the highest possible rank.

Field Move (Ranger)

2017-07-15T05:41:11Z

Digifiend:

{{search|Field Moves in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} games|the moves usable out of the battle in the core games|Field move}}
'''Field Moves''' are special moves Pokémon can use outside of battles in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, and {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}.

==Pokémon Ranger==
[[File:Torchic Ranger.png|thumb|Artwork of Torchic using the Burn Field Move]]
They were first introduced in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and are primarily used to remove an obstacle of some sort. They are similar to [[HM|Hidden Machine]] moves from the traditional games, and two of them share names with the traditional HMs.

Aside from "Flash" and "Cross", all Field Moves come in 3 different levels of power, such as "Tackle ×1", "Tackle ×2", and "Tackle ×3".

==Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia==
[[File:Field Moves.png|Artwork of some Field Moves|thumb]]
In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, Field Moves have changed. Some Field Move levels have gone up to ×5, but most have stayed the way {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} had them- only going up to ×3. Unlike in the original {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, the only Pokémon that don't have a Field Move are the ones that either can't be kept or the ones that are partners. Also ''Gust'' using Pokémon have either changed to ''Cut'' or in {{p|Skarmory|one exception}}, ''Demist''. ''Cross'' has been split from one Field Move used only to swing on posts to a variety of different traveling moves that involve riding on Pokémon over a variety of different terrains. Also, many new Field Moves have been created, some of which are unique, used only by certain Pokémon in certain places. These are called ''Map Moves'' and ''Area Moves''. Both are types of Field Moves that are not used for Target Clear. The latter, such as Magma Flow, is only used when there is a question mark that appears above the player's head.

National Pokédex

2016-12-04T14:19:18Z

Digifiend: /* Generation VI */

{{incomplete|needs=Confirmation of whether any 200 Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex can allow the player to obtain the Johto starter or if the first 200 are required}}
[[File:Pokédex Pt.png|thumb|200px|{{v2|Platinum}}'s National Pokédex mode]]
[[File:Pokédex GSC 2.png|thumb|Each new generation begins its numbering from the end of the last generation. {{p|Cyndaquil}}, at #155, is the fourth Pokémon introduced in Generation II.]]
The '''National Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|全国図鑑|ぜんこくずかん}}''' ''national illustrated encyclopedia'') is a [[Pokédex]] that has been upgraded with the '''National Mode''' (Japanese: '''全国版''' ''National Edition'') that records information from Pokémon around the {{pkmn|nation}}, instead of just ones native in a particular [[region]]. The National Pokédex is not available at the start of the games, but it can be unlocked by completing certain tasks.

National Pokédex order was known as Old Pokédex Mode (Japanese: ふるいずかんモード ''old-style encyclopedia mode'') in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, while Johto's regional Pokédex order at the time was known as [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex Mode]] (Japanese: しんがたずかんモード ''new-style encyclopedia mode''). This arose from the fact that [[Generation I]] was the only previous [[generation]], and one could {{pkmn|journey}} to [[Kanto]] in [[Generation II]]. After [[Hoenn]] received [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|its own Pokédex order]], however, the numbering system that began with {{p|Bulbasaur}} had to change its name so as not to reference Kanto, itself inaccessible in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. Considering that the term "Kanto Pokédex" went on to reference only the first 151 members of the National Pokédex, while the "Johto Pokédex" references the new order for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, everything straightened itself out in the end.

==[[Generation III]]==
===Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire===
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the [[Pokédex]] is upgraded with the National Mode after the game trades with {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald|or}}. Trading with {{g|Colosseum}} or {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} will not unlock the National Pokédex.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player has 60 or more {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]], has rescued [[Lostelle]] from the [[Berry Forest]] and has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], upon talking to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]] in [[Pallet Town]], he will upgrade both the player's and {{ga|Blue}}'s [[Pokédex]]es with the National Mode.

After obtaining the National Pokédex, the player can obtain Pokémon introduced in {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Generations II}} and {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|III}} via [[trade]] and [[evolution]]. This allows [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|Generation I Pokémon to evolve into their Generation II forms]] (such as {{p|Golbat}} being able to evolve into {{p|Crobat}}); prior to obtaining the National Pokédex, these Pokémon will try to evolve but fail. However, the player cannot trade with {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} until they have delivered the {{key|III|Ruby}} and {{key|III|Sapphire}} to [[Celio]] in the [[Pokémon Network Center]] on [[One Island]] to put into the Network Machine.

===Pokémon Emerald===
In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] for the first time, when they exit their house in [[Littleroot Town]] after resuming their game, [[Professor Birch]] and {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}} will be waiting for the player. Birch will escort the two of them to his lab, where he will upgrade both of their [[Pokédex]]es with the National Mode.

After obtaining the National Pokédex, the player can trade with any [[Generation III]] game, as long as that game has the ability to trade with Emerald. After obtaining the National Pokédex, if the player has 200 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]], Birch will offer the player their choice of one of the [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]].

==[[Generation IV]]==
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, if the player has seen the first 150 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], they can obtain the National Pokédex. In {{game|Platinum}}, if the player has seen all 210 Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|expanded Sinnoh Pokédex]], they can obtain the National Pokédex. If the player has met the appropriate condition for that game and talks to [[Professor Rowan]] in his lab in [[Sandgem Town]], [[Professor Oak]] will arrive and upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Mode.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], when the player attempts to board the [[S.S. Aqua]] for the first time, [[Professor Oak]] will appear and upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Mode.

==[[Generation V]]==
===Pokémon Black and White===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, after the player defeats [[Ghetsis]] at [[N's Castle]] and exits their house in [[Nuvema Town]] after resuming the game, [[Cedric Juniper]] will approach the player, {{ga|Bianca}}, and [[Cheren]], then upgrade their [[Pokédex]]es with the National Mode.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and resumes the game from their house in [[Aspertia City]], [[Cedric Juniper]] will visit the player's house and upgrade their [[Pokédex]] with the National Mode.

==[[Generation VI]]==
===Pokémon X and Y===
In {{g|X and Y}}, after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], upon entering {{DL|Lumiose City|Lumiose Station}} [[Dexio]] will upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Pokédex.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player has defeated or {{pkmn2|caught}} the [[Weather trio|super-ancient Pokémon]], if they talk to [[Professor Birch]] in his lab in [[Littleroot Town]], he will upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the National Pokédex.

Unlike most games, non-[[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation VI)|native]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are obtainable without the National Pokédex; they begin appearing as soon as the player has met the prerequisites to obtain the National Pokédex, regardless of whether they obtain it. Using the [[PokéNav Plus]] to attempt to view their Pokédex entries will result in an entry of red text saying that no information is available on the Pokémon, and the areas found display will show "No reported sightings" over the map.
==[[Generation VII]]==
===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
The only way to access the National Pokédex in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}} is by transferring a Pokémon from a Generation VI or I game via [[Pokémon Bank]].

A '''Colosseum Leader''' (Japanese: '''コロシアムリーダー''' ''Colosseum Leader'') is a type of {{pkmn|Trainer}} that debuted in [[Generation IV]]. So far, they have only appeared in {{G|Battle Revolution}}.

Colosseum Leaders are heads of Colosseums, like {{tc|Colosseum Master}}s. They are distinguishable from Colosseum Masters by the fact that all Colosseum Leaders [[Pokémon cosplay|cosplay as Pokémon]] and have the same battle music between them, as opposed to Colosseum Masters, who each have their own individual battle music and dress more professionally.

There are only six Trainers known as Colosseum Leaders: [[Taylor (PBR)|Taylor]], [[Marina (PBR)|Marina]], [[Rosie]], [[Voldon]], [[Terrell]], and [[Dusty]].

Despite dressing up as a Pokémon, most Colosseum Masters (short of Taylor, who has a {{p|Pachirisu}} outfit) do not use the Pokémon they dress up as the first time they are faced. Some will use the pre-evolutions of their outfit, while Terrell and Marina do not use their outfit Pokémon ({{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively) until the Colosseum rank is at least level 7.

Pokémon in the United Kingdom

2015-03-29T18:29:43Z

Digifiend: /* ITV1 */ Channel Television is now itself part of ITV plc

{{CountryInfobox|area=United Kingdom

|language={{wp|English language|English}}, {{wp|Welsh language|Welsh}}, {{wp|Scottish Gaelic}}, {{wp|Scots language|Scots}}, {{wp|Ulster Scots dialects|Ulster Scots}}, {{wp|Irish Gaelic|Irish}}, {{wp|Cornish language|Cornish}}

}}

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United Kingdom|United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland}}''' in 1999 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

==Pokémon games==
All Pokémon games that have been released in {{pmin|the United States}} have also been released in the United Kingdom except [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]. Additionally, English language versions of [[Pokémon Tetris]] and [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]] have been released in the United Kingdom, despite the title never being released in North America. The United Kingdom release dates tend to be some time after the American release dates, with the exception of {{g|Dash}}, [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], and {{game|Black and White|s}}, which were released in the United Kingdom before the United States.

Games that are released in the United Kingdom are inconsistent with {{wp|American and British English spelling differences|British English spelling}}. For example, spelling variations such as ''color'' and ''center'' are not changed to ''colour'' and ''centre'' for the UK releases.

===Event Pokémon===
[[Event Pokémon]] have been released in the United Kingdom sporadically. An event in 2005 known as "The Hunt for Deoxys" was held at Vue cinemas for two days each across the country, where players of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}} were able to download the {{DL|Event item|AuroraTicket}}. The recent introduction of Wi-Fi events has allowed UK players access to many previously unavailable event Pokémon. Prior to this, very few event Pokémon were made available to UK players, and when events at malls and other stores were held, many parts of the country were overlooked. This changed in [[Generation V]], where in-store events became much more wide-spread across the country.

==Pokémon anime==
[[File:Sky1.png|thumb|150px|left|Sky1's current logo, introduced in 2008]]
===Sky1===
The [[original series]] and {{series|Advanced Generation}} aired on {{wp|Sky1}}, a British channel which is owned by {{wp|BSkyB}}.

[[File:ITV1.png|thumb|150px|ITV1's logo]]
===ITV1===
Pokémon also previously aired on '''ITV1''' from 1999 to 2004. ITV1 is a public service network station that broadcasts in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is currently owned by {{wp|ITV}}, formerly {{wp|Carlton Communications}} and {{wp|Granada plc}}. ITV is the only company that has broadcast the {{pkmn|anime}} on UK terrestrial television. Although it no longer airs episodes, its sister channel '''CITV''' continues to do so, originally simulcast upon {{wp|ITV4}} until June 2010, when the GMTV2 block on ITV4 was removed.

Before CITV had its own channel, it had a block on ITV1 from 15:30 to 17:15 on weekdays. Pokémon aired regularly in this block starting in 1999, showing episodes from [[Pokémon: Indigo League|The Indigo League]] and [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Adventures in the Orange Islands]].

GMTV is an early-morning programming block on ITV1. Episodes of Pokémon used to air every Saturday beginning at 8:50 and ending by 9:25. It was originally shown in this time slot from September 1999 until April 2003, airing episodes from The Indigo League, Adventures in the Orange Islands and [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|The Johto Journeys]]. In summer/autumn 2004, a few episodes from [[Pokémon: Advanced|Advanced]] were shown.

{{wp|SM:TV Live}} was a live Saturday morning entertainment show with a 9:25 to 11:30 block which ended in 2003. It would replace the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment with small sketches that featured the hosts, {{wp|Ant & Dec}}, having their own "PokéFight". Some later episodes featured the duo performing their own [[Kanto Pokérap]].

ITV1 has, on more than one occasion, skipped episodes or canceled airings mid-series. These are planned as the TV guides published over a week before date of transmission reflect this. This is not uncommon practice as it has also happened to {{wp|ReBoot}}, {{wp|Cardcaptor Sakura|Cardcaptors}}, {{wp|Digimon#Anime meta-series|Digimon}} and {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh!}}. This is not limited to children's animation, with the initial run of Season 1 of {{wp|Pushing Daisies}} being the most prominent example of a non-children's program.

Pokémon has been cancelled prematurely twice; once during the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] saga on CITV and once just after [[Pokémon: Advanced]] started on GMTV. Neither series has been seen on ITV1 since.

===Cartoon Network TOO===
[[File:CartoonNetworkToo-logo.png|thumb|150px|Cartoon Network TOO's logo]]
Cartoon Network TOO (CN Too for short) was a spin-off television channel of {{wp|Cartoon Network UK}}. As its name suggests, it contains programming that aired on both {{wp|Cartoon Network}} and {{wp|Toonami}}.

Formally known as Toonami, the channel was the location of the world premiere of [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. CN TOO and Cartoon Network went on to show the UK premiere of seasons 8, 9 and 10 as well as gradually going through the older seasons starting from season 3. The final new season to premier on the channel was [[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]] before the series migrated to Disney XD from [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]] onward. CN TOO continued to show repeats of older seasons after the migration, until late 2010.

The channel closed down on April 1st 2014.

===CITV===
[[File:CITV.png‎|thumb|150px|CITV's current logo]]
Currently, the anime airs on '''CITV''', a United Kingdom TV digital network station currently owned by {{wp|ITV}}. It shares its name with the former programming block on '''ITV1''', CITV's parent channel. This channel is free to view on almost all UK Digital TV systems. It is also available over the internet as streaming television on their website. The channel is currently the first to air new episodes on UK television.

As its own channel it has shown every dubbed episode of the Pokémon anime from ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' to the first fourteen episodes of the ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]'' series, as well as simulcasting episodes shown on ITV1. They have also shown all four {{Series|Diamond & Pearl}} {{pkmn|movie}}s, as well as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]].

In October 2012, it began transmitting episodes of ''[[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]'' in late weekend morning programming slots. Beginning May 19, 2013, the channel began airing two back-to-back episodes of [[Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova]] on Sunday mornings. Episodes that are shown on CITV are usually repeated several months later on Disney XD.

On April 5th, 2014, CITV began airing ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. All four episodes of [[Pokémon Origins]] aired on CITV from May 27, 2014 through May 30, 2014; each consecutive episode will airing at 7:35am.

Additionally, ITV use a service on their website known as [https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/ ITV Player], which allows viewers to watch its programming online, including CITV programmes such as Pokémon. A list of their available Pokémon episodes can be found [https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/pokemon here].

===Disney XD===
Disney XD currently shows ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]'' and ''{{pkmn|Black & White: Rival Destinies}}''. Disney XD has also shown ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' on May 28 2010. Previously ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' were shown but were replaced their successors ''Sinnoh League Victors'' and ''Black and White'' in the Autumn and Winter of 2011 respectively. ''Pokémon'' in the UK was previously shown on Disney XD's predecessor, Jetix.

===Pokémon movies===
The first three Pokémon movies where released theatrically, accompanied by the same [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] promotions as the US releases. The [[M01|first movie]] was released on April 14, 2000 to coincide with the two week Easter school holidays, the [[M02|second movie]] on December 22, 2000, and the [[M03|third movie]] on April 6, 2001. They where all later released on VHS and DVD, respectively.

Every movie thereafter would be released on an irregular basis. Both the [[M04|fourth]] and [[M05|fifth]] films were released directly to DVD in 2003 and 2005 respectively, while the [[M06|sixth]] movies DVD release came in 2006, where it was distributed by Paramount Pictures. In 2006, the [[M08|eighth]] and [[M09|ninth]] movies aired on Cartoon Network, but to this day have yet to be released on DVD. In 2008, the [[M10|tenth]] movie would be released on DVD under the distribution of Network. All movies from the [[M11|eleventh]] onward would be aired on television a reflectively short time after the US, on both CITV and Disney XD. In the 2012, seven years after the US release, the [[M07|seventh]] movie finally saw the light of day in the country when it was released on DVD.

Additionally, the special episode ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' (marketed as a direct-to-video movie outside of Japan) also saw a UK release on VHS. The DVD version was never released for unknown reasons.

===Netflix===
{{bulbanews|Pokémon anime to stream on Netflix}}
It was announced that the Pokémon anime would be coming to {{wp|Netflix}}, a subscription-based on demand service available in a wide range of countries, including the United Kingdom. Beginning from March 1, 2014, episodes of ''[[Pokémon: Indigo League]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]'' will be available, as well as the movies ''[[M14|Pokémon the Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram and Pokémon the Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom]]''.

==Pokémon manga==
[[Pokémon manga]] licensed and translated into English is distributed in the United Kingdom by [[VIZ Media]], including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] series.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], although declining in popularity, is still being sold throughout the UK.

When first released, the game was very popular among UK children. Like in many other countries, the TCG was eventually banned in most schools, because of "classroom distraction". Conflict between students regarding Trading Cards also resulted in the cards being banned from some schools. Its popularity faded out as it was replaced by other popular crazes such as {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|Yu-Gi-Oh! cards}}.

==Pokémon merchandise==
[[File:Official Pokémon Magazine.jpg|thumb|200px|Cover artwork of the 1st issue of the 2013 [[Pokémon Official Magazine]] available in the UK]]
{{bulbanews|Official Pokémon Magazine to launch in UK}}
The United Kingdom receives some of the same [[Pokémon merchandise]] that is available in {{pmin|the United States}}, such as plush toys which have been released in major department chains, though merchandise given away in fast food restaurants has become non-existent, as the [[Pokémon movie]]s are no longer shown at cinemas. Some collectibles, such as the [[Pokémon Advanced Action Cards]], were sold in the UK and Europe but not in North America. Despite Pokémon's decline in popularity, merchandise can be found in UK stores, such as {{wp|Game (retailer)|GAME}} and {{wp|W H Smith}}.

A [[Pokémon Official Magazine]] was started up in 2004 in the United Kingdom. It was intended to have a quarterly release schedule, but it was cancelled after its second issue due to low sales. In February 2013, it was announced by Future Publishing that the Pokémon Official Magazine would be returning to the UK, with a publishing schedule of 13 issues per year. However, this was also soon cancelled after publishing 13 issues. [[Pocket World]] magazine is also published in the United Kingdom, although it does not exclusively cover Pokémon, being made up of several other franchises that involve 'cartoon brands staring monsters' (such as {{wp|Moshi Monsters}}, {{wp|Bakugan}} and {{wp|Redakai}}).

Digifiend: /* New Mega Evolutions from ORAS */

==Ampharos==
This article implies they retconned Ampharos to Dragon-type. As far as I know, he's not; it's the MegaAmpharos who has the Dragon-type... [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 14:55, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

== Should the abilities be added? ==

In the chart on the page, should the abilities of the mega evolved formes be added? [[User:MrBananaMan212|MrBananaMan212]] ([[User talk:MrBananaMan212|talk]]) 17:35, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

:IMHO yes, at least for abilities confirmed different from the species's regular Ability. That would include:
:* {{a|Adaptability}} for Mega Lucario
:* {{a|Insomnia}} for Mega Mewtwo

:Whether or not to include Mega Blaziken/Mawile/Ampharos/Absol is still a matter of debate. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 04:49, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
::I'm uncomfortable with adding Abilities because we don't know if it will be their only Ability, or if their Hidden Ability will be different.

== Request for minor edits... ==

The aspect ratio on Lucario's image seems to be off (Firefox reports it as being scaled up to 150x227, correct size 150x138). Can someone fix that? I'm not sure what to look for in the markup, and of course, the page is currently locked. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 04:53, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

:No, that's happening to all Pokemon articles on all pages. The staff are updating Pokemon images to make them square so they can be used for something (not yet identified) in the future. For now, they appear as though the old images were stretched into the new dimensions. In time, the new images will properly sync and replace them.

:I think that's a good idea. The Pokémon probably don't need completely separate articles since it's closer to fore changes than actual evolution. [[User:Reign|Reign]] ([[User talk:Reign|talk]]) 20:05, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

If there's a page for Mega Evolutions, why do the individual Pokemon articles aside from Mewtwo not mention their new forms? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 01:05, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
:We have to make an extreme amount of modifications to our existing tables and infoboxes in order to accommodate Mega Evolutions. Although we try to be as current and up to date as possible, we also want to only have to mess with the coding for high use templates as few of times as possible, as the wiki will have to force itself to update every single page using the templates, thus causing the site to slow down. We're waiting a little bit to work out all the final kinks to these before implementing them. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 01:51, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

::I will never understand this site's policies... [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 19:21, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
Totally agree. It sometimes seems on wikis (not just this one), that things that would be an easy fix, at least temporarily, until the permanent thing is decided upon are not done, leaving the wiki with outdated information, which will only turn away those who are looking for it, and they will go to other places instead. Furthermore, even though wikis are supposed to be "community encyclopedias", it often seems the mods have all the power in deciding how and when things are to be done, even if several regular users express the wish for things to be different. (Again not talking just about Bulbapedia). I just tell myself it will be fixed eventually, and if things still aren't right, the pages will eventually get unlocked, and I can fix it then. [[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 14:45, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
:Maybe everything could be working with just a few workarounds, but there is a reason why we are not using them. Previously, there hasn't been a Pokémon who could evolve two times and then temporarily evolve a third time just for battle and revert back its final evolution afterwards. Because of that, the templates were never originally programmed to support more than what was already needed since there was no point in doing so at the time, in addition to potentially and unnecessarily slowing down the wiki if it was added to the template. This is why we are currently waiting on the updated templates. We don't want to treat the Mega Evolutions like they are just a form change, especially for those who do have a form change already present in the games. Not to mention that we want to have everything looking nice and in a way that doesn't cause interference with other parts of the wiki. Templates can be coded to do events that they normally would not have to do, such as adding an article to a category if a specific value is true or passes a certain limit. The Pokémon articles rely heavily on this so that the information can be easily added, confirmed, and automatically replaced if there is an issue or mistake. In addition, Archaic is the webmaster of the site and is in charge with keeping the site running efficiently. After him are the other Webmasters, Werdnae as the Editor-in-Chief, the Editorial Board, the Bureaucrats, and so on. Likely, the members of the staff had to make a decision when the Mega Evolution were revealed to keep all the articles as close as possible as to how they were until the PokémonInfobox template could be updated to support everything that we now know. That way, everything could be tested and corrected before the games were release and it would be checked to prevent interference with other parts of the wiki. So, I would assume that when October comes around, the new PokémonInfobox template should already be up and running, which is the goal since we want everything running before the games come out. Hopefully, this will be able to explain what is going on in the background and why things are proceeding as they are. :) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 17:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

== More Megas ==

Today the Pokemon website officially released Mega Ampharos, Mega Mawile and Mega Absol. Now could we update their pictures to these instead of the blurry corocoro scans please. --[[User:Ziggyangelo88|Ziggyangelo88]] ([[User talk:Ziggyangelo88|talk]]) 05:31, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

== DNA Rainbow ==

Shouldn't it be noted that the rainbow colored shape above a Pokemon's head while it mega evolves is the same symbol found on the Japanese logo for X and Y? --[[User:Ziggyangelo88|Ziggyangelo88]] ([[User talk:Ziggyangelo88|talk]]) 07:40, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
:: The DNA symbol you speak of is the Mega Stone. [[User:Zeta|Zeta]] ([[User talk:Zeta|talk]]) 07:42, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

== Height/weight ==

You may also note that MegaEvo can change {{tt|height and/or weight|Even though it either doesn't change anything, changes both, or changes only weight; no Mega with known weight and height has changed only height}} of the Pokémon.

== Images ==

While I know Serebii is widely considered a fansite, he ''does'' have some new images of the Mega [http://serebii.net/xy/megaampharos.png Ampharos], [http://serebii.net/xy/megamawile.png Mawile], and [http://serebii.net/xy/megaabsol.png Absol] that are better than the scans. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy]] ([[User_talk:Schiffy|Speak to me]]|[[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|What I've done]]) 15:56, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
:The high quality artwork of the Mega Evolutions has already been uploaded to the archives, it only takes some time for Bulbapedia's system to recognize the image changes and display the latest version, thus why you still see the low quality scans.

== Original Ability ==

Could you put the primary abilities that the Pokemon has before the mega evolution to show how it changes. --[[User:Ziggyangelo88|Ziggyangelo88]] ([[User talk:Ziggyangelo88|talk]]) 09:26, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

== mega evolution seem similar to something else? ==
Hey not sure if this was the right place to mention this or not, but as a long time fan of Pokemon AND digimon, I cant help but draw similarities between mega evolution, and digivolution from the digimon anime. I only mention this as a matter of curiosity. In the digimon anime, a digimon would digivolve to a higher form during battle, before reverting to they're original form after the battle had ended. I just thought the similarity was worth noting.[[User:Silverfin007|Silverfin007]] ([[User talk:Silverfin007|talk]]) 14:55, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
:It's most likely just a coincidence. They're similar concepts, you know? So unless it's officially stated by Game Freak, that theory should be ignored here, with a possible discussion just on [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net the forums] [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''オリ''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''ジ''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''ナル''']] TheOriginalOne 15:02, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

And if it was intentional, Toei Animation would probably sue Nintendo for plagiarism. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 15:25, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

:It's also similar to characters from Dragonball Z going Super-Saiyan. There's all sorts of things that it could be compared to. [[User:Legionaireb|Legionaireb]] ([[User talk:Legionaireb|talk]]) 05:32, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

== Mega Evolving ==

As we now know that Mega Evolution occurs when a Pokémon able to Mega Evolve holds a Mega Stone and a specific button is pressed on-screen during battle, as proved yesterday on the Pokémon Game Show demo version of Pokémon X and y, in a photo that was taken, where the in-battle button was showcased. Should the text that states - "In order to undergo a Mega Evolution, the Pokémon must be holding the applicable Mega Stone, and meet a currently unspecified other condition." not be changed to "In order to undergo a Mega Evolution, the Pokémon must be holding the applicable Mega Stone, and the player must select the Mega Evolution button whilst in battle."--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 20:57, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
:No. That was a demo. There is nothing saying that it happens like that in the full game. For all we know, the condition is that it has to be unlocked. I don't think that pressing a button counts as a "condition." [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 21:19, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
::I agree, there could be more requirements and restrictions that need to be uncovered first. With something like that it wouldn't surprise me. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 00:13, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
:::OK, thank you. {{unsigned|ShinyPatch}}

== Demo Mewtwo ==

Has anyone actually gone to the "Pokémon" menu after obtaining the Mewtwo in the demo to see what its Mega Stone is? If they would check its stats to see any increases afterwards, that'd be nice too. I can't seem to find anyone who has, but it seems like it'd be pretty simple to do. For the purposes of getting as much info as possible, perhaps someone with access to a demo who sees this message will give it a try? --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 22:19, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
:The demos were only playable during Pokemon Game Show, an event that ended several days ago. I suppose it's worth looking at when the English demo is available at PAX Prime (Aug. 30 to Sept. 2). Basically, I'm trying to tell you, don't hold your breath: if anyone even can do so, it'll take more than a week before they get the opportunity. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:24, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
You'd think someone would have thought to look this info up when playing the demos. Then again, the demos are bare bone so you likely don't have the option to look at a Pokémon's states. Although, someone could have at least figured out Sylveon's type match up to some extent. Is anyone on the Bulbapedia staff attending the american event?

== Individual articles for each Mega evolution ==

Should we create individual articles for each Mega Evolution? Since they aren't simple "form changes" like Giratina, Shaymin and Keldeo etc, but a type of evolution, should we treat them as evolutions or should we just put every information on their respective un-Mega Evolved articles? I personally think they could be viable for their own articles if one were to use an altered version of the regular Pokemon pages (like maybe removing sections like Learnsets etc). [[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] ([[User talk:Angela-Samshi|talk]]) 19:39, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Could a link template similar to {{template|Shiny}} or {{template|Shadow}} be created for Mega Pokémon? If possible, I would make make the template look like

:* Do you have a link to a source confirming that? Also, people won't yell at you here very often, at the most we will just be really blunt. Comes with the territory of weeding out fan-speculation from the actual facts, as that's what this site tries to focus on. And some people do believe that something that is obvious to them, but not officially confirmed to be true, can pass as a fact; when there is always a chance they can be wrong, but I digress. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 21:06, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

== Template suggestion ==

I know we've been avoiding treating Mega Evolution like "evolution" per se, since it's only in-battle, but even form changes — including only-in-battle ones like {{p|Castform}}'s — have their forms listed in the "evolution" template above their sprite galleries. Would it not be prudent to include Mega Evolutions in these templates, with ↔ instead of → and with "Mega Evolution" instead of "first evolution" or "second evolution"? And once we get all the Mega Stone images, we could use those for the icons. Is this a good idea? If not, shouldn't we remove forms like Castform's from the evolution template?

I know Diance has been confirmed, but like one person asked on Diance's page if the other 2 rumored legends are basically confirmed cause Diance was, should a page be created for them and they said no not until confirmation, would't the same apply to Mega Latias and Mega Latios. Again, unless I missed something, shouldn't they not be on here? {{unsigned|Demers-Vachon}}

== Fleshing out ==

I was considering fleshing out the body of this page by making it similar to the listing on [[Form differences]]. Each section would started with brief instructions on how to obtain their respective Mega Stone, including whether the Mega Stone upgrade is required or not. It would then compare the base form and the mega form(s) as seen here:

{| style="margin:auto;"
|
{{Compare|name=Blastoise|type=Water|image=009Blastoise|ab=Torrent|abd=Rain Dish|HP=79|Attack=83|Defense=100|SpAtk=85|SpDef=105|Speed=78}}
|
{{Compare|name=Blastoise|forme=Mega Blastoise|type=Water|image=009Blastoise-Mega|ab=Mega Launcher|how={{color2|000|Mega Stone#Blastoisinite|Blastoisinite}}|HP=79|Attack=103|Defense=120|SpAtk=135|SpDef=115|Speed=78}}
|}

Should it be worth mentioning that both of the Pokémon that have multiple Mega Evolutions so far are the first Pokémon to ever show up in the anime?

Charizard was the first Pokémon seen in the first Japanese opening of the anime, while Mewtwo (and Mew) were the first seen in all other countries. Now of course, there will be more Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions added in the future (we can assume as much) so that might not be important later on, but I think it's something worth noting for now. {{unsigned|BlackButterfree}}

== Mega Groudon and Mega Kyogre? ==

So Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and have been announced, and looking at the box covers, it would appear Groudon and Kyogre have been given Mega Evolutions much like the Eon Duo.

::Actually there is visual evidence. The Box art for the games clearly show that Groudon and Kyogre underwent a transformation, and given this gen's mechanics, common sense says its a Mega Evolution.

Groudon's Teeth and Spikes become black, and his tail becomes longer (as evident with the tail spikes being spaced further apart) with the tip fanning out more.

Kyogre's tail becomes morphed with new groves and it has larger as well as new markings as well. Some of its red markings also have become blue.

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

==In the games==
Brock's title is "The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer." Brock is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses Rock-type Pokémon to complement this.

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

Brock likes to dig for [[Fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]], which is possibly how he ended up getting a {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} in [[Generation II]] (in the Pokémon Adventures manga, he is stated to have found Kabutops as a {{p|Kabuto}} guarding the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]).

In addition to the Boulder Badge, Brock gives out {{TM|34|Bide}} in [[Generation I]], no [[TM]] in [[Generation II]], {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} in [[Generation III]], and {{TM|80|Rock Slide}} in [[Generation IV]]. In both Generation I and III, a Trainer will not allow anyone to pass onto {{rt|3|Kanto}} unless they have defeated Brock. Instead, when someone attempts to leave, he will lead them all the way back to the [[Pewter Gym]].

In {{v|Yellow}}, he speaks directly to the player about his training to become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after he is defeated, despite {{pkmn|breeding}} not being present in the game. This is a reference to the goals of his {{an|Brock|anime counterpart}}.

In {{v|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after he is defeated and all 16 badges have been obtained, he can be found in [[Diglett's Cave]] near Pewter City on any day between noon and 3 PM, and he will offer his Pokégear number if he is spoken to there. If he is called on Saturday nights, he will be up for a rematch at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. After his Pokégear number has been obtained, he will reappear in Diglett's Cave every day between 5 PM and 8 PM, and the player can have a [[photography|photograph]] taken with him there. If he is spoken to in Diglett's Cave on a Saturday, he will offer to [[List of in-game trades|trade]] a {{p|Rhyhorn}} that knows {{m|Thunder Fang}} for a {{p|Bonsly}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Brock.png|thumb|200px|Brock in the anime]]
{{main|Brock (anime)}}
In the anime, like later Gym Leaders, Brock appeared primarily as an opponent to {{Ash}} in his [[EP005|debut episode]]; unlike later Gym Leaders, he requested to join Ash on his journey, aiming to be the world's greatest {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}. In doing so, Brock left the Gym in the hands of his father, {{ka|Flint}}, who had finally revealed himself to have returned from his journey. Brock advised Ash throughout the [[Kanto]] series, then left briefly during the [[Orange Archipelago]] arc to assist [[Professor Ivy]]. He returned to Ash's side in [[Johto]], and with brief returns to [[Pewter City]] at the end of each series, joined him for his journeys in [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] as well; however, he now wants to become a Pokémon Doctor.

Brock mainly provides an advisory role to the other main characters of the anime, being several years older than the rest of them. His knowledge of Pokémon battles is great, causing him to often referee matches between Ash and others. Brock also fancies himself as something of a ladies' man, though each time he hits on someone he is either rejected outright, pulled away by {{an|Misty}} or [[Max]], or, most recently, {{m|Poison Jab}}bed by his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}.
{{right clear}}

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Brock Poké Balls PO.png|200px|thumb|left|Brock in Pokémon Origins]]
In [[Pokémon Origins]], Brock is the only Gym Leader to have a key role other than Giovanni. Much like his role in both the games, Brock is the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym.

Brock is first seen in ''[[PO01]]'', watching a [[Pokémon battle]] between {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. After Red is defeated, Brock talks to Red and teaches him about the basics of Pokémon battling and training.

Later, Red discovers that Brock is the Gym Leader of Pewter City and goes to challenge Brock to earn his first Badge. There, they have a Gym battle in which Brock teaches Red about type matchups and strategy. Brock is shown to have many Pokémon, and selects Geodude and Onix when Red confirms that he has no [[Badge]]s. This implies that all Gym Leaders have Pokémon of varying strengths in reserve in order to keep each challenge a fair fight. After a tough battle, Red eventually defeats Brock by using all of his Pokémon to slowly weaken Brock's Onix until it falls. Having lost the battle, Brock awards Red with the Boulder Badge and {{TM|34|Bide}}.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Brock (anime)#In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga|Brock (anime)}}
As the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] is based on the [[Pokémon anime]], {{an|Brock}} is a commonly recurring character, although he does not appear in every chapter and he does not travel with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} constantly.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Brock, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Brock and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).
{{-}}
===In the movie manga adaptations===
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|Brock with his friends]]
As Brock has appeared in every movie prior to Best Wishes, he has appeared in every manga adaptation of it. His team in the manga adaptations are the same as in the films.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kabutops's only known move is {{m|AncientPower}}, and its Ability is {{a|Battle Armor}}.}}

===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure manga===
Brock's only appearance in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure was in a flashback along with his {{TP|Brock|Onix}}.
[[File:Brock PM.png|thumb|135px|Brock in the Pocket Monsters manga.]]
[[File:Brock Misty PMRS.png|thumb|left|140px|Brock in the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga.]]
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Brock debuts in the chapter ''[[PM003|Take Out The Rival Onix!!]]'' of the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga. Before {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} arrived in Pewter City, {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} got there and took Brock on. However, Brock was brutally strong as he managed to knock Green and his {{TP|Green|Charmander}} back into a window. The impact caused him to tell Red about Brock's strength. Despite Green's advice, Red decides to go to the Gym away. Red notices Brock's collection of Pokémon he had caught over the years and one of them turned out to be {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s cousin, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}. Brock then came and Red had his first Gym battle with him. Red used Clefairy while Brock used {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Clefairy managed to defeat Onix by having it chase its own tail, earning Red the {{badge|Boulder}}.

Brock reappears in ''[[PMRSs1|Clefairy, Form Teacher Of Class 1P!!]]'' in a form of a cameo. He is seen wearing his outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

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

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Brock has been shown with several non-Rock-type Pokémon that he would later own in the anime, namely {{p|Golbat}} in Stadium's Round 2 fight, {{p|Forretress}} in Stadium 2's Round 1 fight, and {{p|Steelix}} in Stadium 2's Round 2 fight.
* Despite being a Rock-type [[Pokémon Trainer]], none of his Pokémon knew any Rock-type moves in [[Generation I]]. This was fixed in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|their remakes|s}}.
* Brock is one of two [[Gym Leader]]s not to give the {{player}} a TM of his {{t|Rock|Gym's specialty type}}, the other being [[Falkner]]. This is only true in [[Generation I]], as, in the remakes, his chosen TM changed from {{TM|34|Bide}} to {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}.
** However, in [[Generation II]] there was no TM that contained a {{type|Flying}} move for Falkner to give, whereas in [[Generation I]] {{m|Rock Slide}} is available by [[TM48]].
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Brock trades the player a {{p|Rhyhorn}} knowing {{m|Thunder Fang}} (an [[egg move]]) in exchange for a {{p|Bonsly}}. This may be a reference to his anime counterpart, who is a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} who once owned a [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Bonsly]] as well before it evolved.
* Out of all of his Pokémon in the handheld games, only {{p|Rampardos|three}} {{p|Aerodactyl|of}} {{p|Tyranitar|them}} do not suffer from a double weakness against {{t|Grass}}.
* In all [[Generation I]] games Brock's {{p|Onix}} has the move {{m|Bind}} at levels 12 and 14 despite not learning it until level 15. This was fixed, however, in [[Generation II]] when it could learn it at level 10.
* As seen in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Brock's [[Trainer ID number]] is 06845.
* During the Gym battle in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Brock uses a Rhyhorn with the [[Ability]] {{a|Sturdy}}, even though Rhyhorn cannot normally have that Ability.
* In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] all of Brock's Pokémon are part {{type|Ground}} as well.
** Also, in Generation I, his Pokémon know only {{type|Normal}} moves.

Duking

2013-11-09T13:24:34Z

Digifiend: /* Pokémon */ Plusle doesn't start with Spark, he learns it at level 19.

[[Image:Duking Colo.png|thumb|right|200px|Duking in Colosseum]]
'''Duking''' (Japanese: '''ギンザル''' ''Ginzaru'') is a very large bodybuilder who lives in [[Pyrite Town]]. He isn't quite the mayor of Pyrite Town because he wasn't elected. He's just a very strong man who enforces the law. Luckily for the citizens of the desert town, Duking is actually a kind and fair man who is interested in keeping some semblance of order. He also runs the local Colosseum. He is [[Marcia]]'s father.

==Personality==
All in all, the citizens fear Duking more than they do the local police force.

Duking does have a soft side. He befriended most of the children of Pyrite Town, letting them work and play in the room hidden behind his bookshelf in his house. He also has a Pokémon that he loves a lot, a pet {{p|Plusle}}.

==In Colosseum==
[[Miror B.]] and his [[Cipher]] goons had kidnapped Plusle, and held it hostage in [[Miror B.'s Hideout]]. Without Duking to stop them, the Cipher grunts went on a crime spree of thievery and extortion in Pyrite Town. Meanwhile, Miror B. began to distribute [[Shadow Pokémon]] in [[Pyrite Colosseum]]. Only [[Silva]] and the kids of Pyrite Town knew the truth about what happened. The other people of Pyrite Town were confused as to why Duking didn't fight against Miror B.'s thugs.

[[Silva]], Duking's best friend, tried to do what he could to stop the spread of Shadow Pokémon and rescue Plusle, but he was unable to accomplish his goals, and was physically hurt in the process. [[Wes]] and [[Rui]] arrived in the town one day and managed to rescue Plusle and chase away Miror B.

Duking supplies Wes with information throughout much of [[Pokémon Colosseum]], and assists in the arrests of quite a few Cipher members, he even assists [[Chief Sherles]] and [[Officer Johnson]] in arresting [[Evice]] and Nascour after [[Wes]] defeated them at [[Realgam Tower]].

Plusle was inspired by Wes and Rui's actions, and in gratitude, as well as a desire to help the other Pokémon Cipher kidnapped, Plusle and Duking decided that the little Pokémon should go with Wes and Rui.

==In XD==
Duking also makes an appearance in Pokémon XD. He has become an avid wild Pokémon fanatic after discovering [[Poké Spot]]s, where wild Pokémon can appear. After explaining to [[Michael]] how catching wild Pokémon works in a news report at the Rock Poké Spot, he helps Michael find the other 2 Poké Spots. He also provides Michael with the Spot Monitor application for his [[P★DA]].

Afterwards, he returns to his home in Pyrite Town, and keeps to his back room, making Poké Snacks. He also asks Michael to catch a {{p|Trapinch}}, a {{p|Surskit}}, and a {{p|Wooper}} for him (the three of which are the rarest Pokémon available at each Poké Spot) as well. If caught, they can be traded to him for a {{p|Meditite}}, a {{p|Shuckle}}, and a {{p|Larvitar}}, respectively.

Bad Egg

2013-11-02T12:25:39Z

Digifiend:

[[File:Bad egg.png|150px|right|thumb|A Bad Egg in the [[party]] in Generation III]]
A '''Bad Egg''' (Japanese: '''ダメタマゴ''' ''Bad Egg''), stylized as '''Bad EGG''' in Generation III, is a phenomenon present in the [[Generation III]], [[Generation IV]], [[Generation V]] and [[Generation VI]] Pokémon games that results from a corruption of Pokémon data so that the {{wp|checksum}} does not match up with the data's calculations. In [[Generation IV]], sometimes Bad Eggs can hatch into [[-----]] or another Bad Egg.

Bad Eggs are not really [[Pokémon Egg]]s, and may possibly never have been, but instead the default message returned by the game if the checksum is off (which happens only if data is altered badly). Bad Eggs rarely hatch and cannot be released, merely taking up space, though there are methods of removing them—it is possible to [[trade]] a Bad Egg away into another game, or remove it by [[cheating]].

==Game data==
[[File:Bad Egg status screen RS.png|right|thumb|250px|The Bad Egg's status screen in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}]]
Like a normal Egg, Bad Eggs appear with a type of {{t|???}}, as well as have the same Pokémon status screen as an Egg would. Despite this, the similarities end there, as Bad Eggs can be [[held item|holding items]] (such as {{DL|Poké Ball|Cherish Ball}}s, which cannot be taken), be placed within types of [[Poké Ball]]s aside from the standard kind, and have [[Seal]]s attached—which prevents them from being deposited in the PC. After that, it is only possible to remove the seal from the Bad Egg by depositing it into the [[Pokémon Day Care]].
Some may be reported to have [[Pokérus]] or be cured of it, and may be [[fainting|fainted]].
[[File:900MS.png|left]]
A Bad Egg placed in the first slot of the [[party]] will, rather than having a normal Egg menu sprite, have a differently colored version of the menu sprite of the Pokémon following it, such as a golden {{p|Bulbasaur}}, a blue {{p|Marowak}}, or a brown {{p|Ho-Oh}}. It is unknown exactly why the sprite retains the last Pokémon's sprite, but the color change is because of the use of palette 0 for this sprite—this is why Pokémon with palette 0 do not change color.

If it is forced to hatch through use of a cheat code, a {{gp|?}} will come out and the game will immediately freeze.

==Appearances of Bad Eggs==
[[File:Bad Egg status screen E.png|right|250px|thumb|The Bad Egg's status screen in {{game|Emerald}}]]
===Generation III===
When using the [[GameShark]] code for quick {{pkmn|Day Care}} level-up, an invisible Bad Egg will appear in the party, which can be switched around using the PC and used in battle. Sometimes, the Bad Egg will take form of the silhouette of a Pokémon in the PC Box. However, attempting to view its summary screen will cause a [[game freeze]].

Alternatively, by using codes to capture wild Pokémon instantly, reducing their HP to 0 yet keeping the battle going, it will be sent to the PC instead as a Bad Egg. This Bad Egg can be removed from the game by picking up another Pokémon while it is held, then setting it back down. This Bad Egg appears differently; instead of an Egg in its status box, it is the "unseen Pokémon" image used in the Pokédex and by [[ten question marks|??????????]]. Like ??????????, using it in battle will cause an instant white out (if used without any other Pokémon in the party).

Bad Eggs can also occur if the player attempts to hack a Pokémon which has an illegal moveset, as the checksums will not add up correctly (as the checksum would use the Pokémon's normal moveset at that level as a check).

===Generation IV===
====Index number 495====
In addition to forcing an ordinary Pokémon to have an invalid checksum, it is possible to encounter a Bad Egg in the wild by using an [[Action Replay]] on {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and setting the wild Pokémon modifier code to 495 (an identifier of Manaphy Egg, although a Manaphy Egg is rendered as a Bad Egg in battle). The game will freeze instantly on capture when the game attempts to show the Pokédex entry. A normal Egg captured this way (using an identifier of 494) will hatch into a random Pokémon, including Pokémon that do not normally hatch from Eggs like [[legendary Pokémon]] and evolved Pokémon, or may hatch into [[-----]] or, like its [[Glitch Egg|Generation II counterpart]], another Egg (which will then go on to hatch into a ----- itself). Due to being incorrectly generated, whatever is hatched may eventually turn into a Bad Egg itself, and then subsequently hatch yet again. The use of an Action Replay with a "1 hit kill" cheat in Double Battles will often result in a Bad Egg appearing. If the player sees a Bad Egg, the game will occasionally freeze. If {{m|Transform}} is used against a Bad Egg, its backsprite will be exactly the same as its front sprite and the only move it knows is {{m|Splash}}.

====From catching other Trainers' Pokémon via cheat====
If the cheat to catch other Trainers' Pokémon is used, often the Pokémon caught, if following moving after another Pokémon, will either be named the same as the previous Pokémon, Bad Egg, or have a blank name. There are no other side effects.

====Hacked data in Pokémon Battle Revolution====
In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, some Pokémon that are hacked may become Bad Eggs when they are copied from {{5v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. A common example of a Bad Egg replacing a Pokémon is when that Pokémon has more than 510 [[effort values]]. Bad Eggs are unable to battle in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

If the player has a hacked Pokémon, although it won't appear to be a Bad Egg on a DS game, it will show up as a Bad Egg on Pokémon Battle Revolution if used in a DS battle.

===Generation V===
====Generation V Action Replay code====
In [[Generation V]], if a wild Pokémon modifier code is used to encounter a Pokémon with a [[National Pokédex]] number greater than 649, a Bad Egg may appear as a result. The Egg will flee from battle. Catching the Egg will result in the message for a successfully caught Pokémon, but the data of the Egg will be deleted after the battle. The Egg does not have a [[Pokédex]] entry or any status information. The player's Pokémon will not earn any experience after the battle. Due to the removal of [[Seal]]s as a game mechanic, Generation V Bad Eggs cannot have Seals.

===Generation VI===
{{GlitchResearch|What is the cause and trigger? And what about the Mystery Zone?}}
Occasionally, a {{player}} will find an [[Egg]] that randomly appears in one of their [[PC]] [[Pokémon Storage System|box]]es with its data set as being obtained from the [[Mystery Zone]] at 0/0/2000.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/1oc976/ive_just_found_an_egg_in_my_box_that_was_obtained/ I've just found an egg in my box that was "obtained from the mystery zone on 0/0/2000" : pokemon]</ref>

These eggs are speculated to be caused by checksum errors when trading Pokemon via Wonder Trade, and unlike the Bad Egg of previous generations the Mystery Zone egg can be harmful to Pokemon in the same PC box.

Time Capsule

2013-10-29T00:17:43Z

Digifiend: /* In future generations */

:''This article is about the trading method in [[Generation II]]. For the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} fought in a [[Pokéstar Studios]] movie, see {{DL|Pokéstar Studios opponents|Time Machine}}.
----
[[File:Gold Silver Ethan Time Capsule.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the Time Capsule from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}]]
The '''Time Capsule''' (Japanese: '''タイムカプセル''' ''Time Capsule'') is a mechanic in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} that allows {{player}}s to [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} back in time to {{4v2|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}. A permanent fixture in every [[Pokémon Center]], the Time Capsule is the only facility which allows direct inter-generational trades.

The Time Capsule was also featured as a Trainer Card in the {{Trading Card Game}}.

==In the games==
The Time Capsule is located on the second floor of each [[Pokémon Center]]. However, it will be under repair and unavailable until the {{player}} has met [[Bill]] in [[Ecruteak City]]. Even then, the player has to wait for another 24 hours in the game's internal clock before being able to use the Time Capsule.

After this point, it is possible to [[trade]] with the [[Version|main series]] [[Generation I]] games; however, there are still some restrictions:
* The player cannot have any {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} or {{pkmn|Egg}}s in their [[party]].
* None of the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} that are in the party can know any {{cat|Generation II moves|moves introduced in Generation II}}.

When linked up to a Generation I game, the trade will happen as it did in Generation I, and the [[Generation II]] game will act as if it is a Generation I game.

===Limitations and their consequences===
Because of the restriction that moves introduced in Generation II cannot be traded back to Generation I, a [[Move Deleter]] in [[Blackthorn City]] will delete moves that are incompatible with earlier games. While trades with previous [[generation]]s were not supported in any games after {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the concept of a Move Deleter was retained as part of gameplay.

===Glitches===
The Time Capsule's limitation that prevents Generation II {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from entering can be bypassed with the [[Johto guard glitch]], though Generation II Pokémon brought in this way must still only know {{cat|Generation I moves}}. When traded to a Generation I game, they will become [[glitch Pokémon]]. The four Pokémon that evolve by trade in Generation I—{{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, and {{p|Graveler}}—, if traded from a Generation I game to a Generation II game at the correct level, will learn a Generation II move after [[Evolution|evolving]], but can be traded back to Generation I immediately after. This gives access to [[glitch moves]] in the Generation I game.

===In future generations===
Direct trades between generations would not be possible in any games starting with {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} in [[Generation III]], although it is possible to migrate Pokémon forward a generation through use of [[Pal Park]] (from Generation III to [[Generation IV]]), the [[Poké Transfer]] (from Generation IV to [[Generation V]]) and the [[Poké Transporter]] (from Generation V to [[Generation VI]]). Pokémon can no longer be "sent back in time", i.e., they can no longer be directly traded back to a previous generation game.

The Time Capsule is not present in the Generation IV remakes of Gold and Silver, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
The Time Capsule makes an appearance in ''[[PM088|Find the Legendary Pokémon!!]]''.

==In the TCG==

Time Capsule

2013-10-29T00:17:23Z

Digifiend: /* In future generations */ adding Unova>Kalos method

:''This article is about the trading method in [[Generation II]]. For the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} fought in a [[Pokéstar Studios]] movie, see {{DL|Pokéstar Studios opponents|Time Machine}}.
----
[[File:Gold Silver Ethan Time Capsule.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the Time Capsule from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}]]
The '''Time Capsule''' (Japanese: '''タイムカプセル''' ''Time Capsule'') is a mechanic in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} that allows {{player}}s to [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} back in time to {{4v2|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}. A permanent fixture in every [[Pokémon Center]], the Time Capsule is the only facility which allows direct inter-generational trades.

The Time Capsule was also featured as a Trainer Card in the {{Trading Card Game}}.

==In the games==
The Time Capsule is located on the second floor of each [[Pokémon Center]]. However, it will be under repair and unavailable until the {{player}} has met [[Bill]] in [[Ecruteak City]]. Even then, the player has to wait for another 24 hours in the game's internal clock before being able to use the Time Capsule.

After this point, it is possible to [[trade]] with the [[Version|main series]] [[Generation I]] games; however, there are still some restrictions:
* The player cannot have any {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} or {{pkmn|Egg}}s in their [[party]].
* None of the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} that are in the party can know any {{cat|Generation II moves|moves introduced in Generation II}}.

When linked up to a Generation I game, the trade will happen as it did in Generation I, and the [[Generation II]] game will act as if it is a Generation I game.

===Limitations and their consequences===
Because of the restriction that moves introduced in Generation II cannot be traded back to Generation I, a [[Move Deleter]] in [[Blackthorn City]] will delete moves that are incompatible with earlier games. While trades with previous [[generation]]s were not supported in any games after {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the concept of a Move Deleter was retained as part of gameplay.

===Glitches===
The Time Capsule's limitation that prevents Generation II {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from entering can be bypassed with the [[Johto guard glitch]], though Generation II Pokémon brought in this way must still only know {{cat|Generation I moves}}. When traded to a Generation I game, they will become [[glitch Pokémon]]. The four Pokémon that evolve by trade in Generation I—{{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, and {{p|Graveler}}—, if traded from a Generation I game to a Generation II game at the correct level, will learn a Generation II move after [[Evolution|evolving]], but can be traded back to Generation I immediately after. This gives access to [[glitch moves]] in the Generation I game.

===In future generations===
Direct trades between generations would not be possible in any games starting with {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} in [[Generation III]], although it is possible to migrate Pokémon forward a generation through use of [[Pal Park]] (from Generation III to [[Generation IV]]), the [[Poké Transfer]] (from Generation IV to [[Generation V]]) and the Poké Transporter (from Generation V to [[Generation VI]]). Pokémon can no longer be "sent back in time", i.e., they can no longer be directly traded back to a previous generation game.

The Time Capsule is not present in the Generation IV remakes of Gold and Silver, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
The Time Capsule makes an appearance in ''[[PM088|Find the Legendary Pokémon!!]]''.

===Origin===

====Name origin====
Sylveon may be a combination of ''{{wp|sylph}}'' and ''eon'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Nymphia is derived from ''{{wp|nymph}}''.

Pokémon in Ireland

2013-09-30T00:23:34Z

Digifiend: /* Pokémon anime */ Not only is that out of date, CITV isn't even officially available in Ireland

{{CountryInfobox
|area=Ireland
|language={{wp|English language|English}} and {{wp|Irish Language|Irish}}
|continent={{wp|Europe}}
|EP001=September 4, 1999
|AG001=January 10, 2004
}}

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|Republic of Ireland}}''' in October 1999 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]].<ref>http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/computimes/1999/1018/99101800086.html</ref><ref>http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=67447208&postcount=14</ref>

==Pokémon video games==
All English-language Pokémon games have been released in Ireland. New games are released on the same day as the rest of Europe, which is usually several months after their respective releases in the United States.

In-store Pokémon events have dwindled in Ireland in recent years, which has culminated in Nintendo of Europe deciding to no longer work in Ireland. This has meant that Pokémon gamers in Ireland have not been able to as easily receive Pokémon such as the [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#European Michina Arceus|Michina Arceus]], requiring players to travel to the north of the island to Belfast (which is in the UK) to attend in-store events which occur there to receive their [[event Pokémon]].

Furthermore, players wishing to compete in the [[Pokémon Organized Play (TCG)#World Championship|Pokémon Video Game Championships]] must also travel to the UK or mainland Europe.

==Pokémon anime==
The English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]] aired in Ireland on {{wp|RTÉ Two}} On September 4, 1999. It aired during {{wp|The Den (television)|The Den}}, the channel's afternoon segment aimed towards children. It aired all episodes of the Original Series and Advanced Generation Series that were dubbed into english (excluding [[AG072|The Bicker the Better]] and [[AG113|Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?]]).

Previously, the anime has also aired on several {{pmin|the United Kingdom|British television channels}} that are also widely available throughout Ireland, including {{wp|UTV}}<ref>http://www.independent.ie/national-news/beware-the-pokemon-plague-386552.html</ref>, and {{wp|Sky1}}.

As most UK channels are available in Ireland via cable and satellite providers, the anime is still viewable in Ireland, with ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]'' currently airing on Disney XD.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
Cards for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] were originally sold in Ireland at the same time as they were released in the United Kingdom. For several years in the early 2000s, many primary schools across the country banned children from bringing in Pokémon cards, as they were presenting challenges for both parents and teachers.<ref>http://www.independent.ie/national-news/smother-love-378755.html</ref>

==Pokémon merchandise==
Pokémon merchandise was also sold to coincide with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red and Blue]] in 1999.<ref>http://www.independent.ie/national-news/move-over-furby-pokemons-about-to-take-over-399454.html</ref>

During the early 2000s, {{wp|Glanbia}}, Ireland's largest dairy foods producer and supplier, produced special Pokémon-themed products.<ref>http://www.independent.ie/business/glanbias-cool-linkup-to-pokmon-364290.html</ref>

===Pokémon manga===
[[Pokémon manga]] translated into English by [[VIZ Media]] is sold in Ireland. Currently available series include the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] series and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]].

==Community==
boards.ie, the largest Irish Internet forum, has a dedicated Pokémon forum.

==Trivia==
*In June 2001, Pokémon was one of the topics in the listening comprehension section of the {{wp|Leaving Certificate}} Ordinary Level Spanish exam.<ref>http://www.independent.ie/education/latest-news/from-pokemon-to-actor-burt-reynolds-342588.html</ref>

Pokémon Official Magazine

2013-09-30T00:19:15Z

Digifiend:

[[File:N04_0928_pomlogo.gif‎|frame|The logo of of the original Pokémon Official Magazine]]
The '''Pokémon Official Magazine''' is the name of several different publications worldwide.

==In the United Kingdom==
{{bulbanews|Official Pokémon Magazine to launch in UK}}
The world's first official Pokémon magazine was released in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}. The first issue went on sale October 1st, 2004, and had 92 pages. The launch issue came with three gifts. Six Pokémon fridge magnets, a double sided poster, and a 3-D {{p|Charmander}} model were included in the package.

Editor Tim Street made the following statement regarding the release of ''Pokémon Official Magazine'':
<blockquote>
"There has never been a better time to launch this title; fans have demanded it for years, ever since the very first Pokémon phenomenon swept the globe at the turn of the millennium. The appetite for Pokémon has never waned - just look at the amazing sales success of the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire]] Game Boy Advance titles last year."
</blockquote>

The magazine was intended to be quarterly, with a new issue planned for release four times a year. However, due to poor sales, the magazine was canceled after its second issue.

In February 2013, it was announced by Future Publishing that Pokémon Official Magazine would be returning to the United Kingdom. The new magazine will have a publishing schedule of 13 issues per year.

* Issue 1 came out on March 20.
* Issue 2 came out on April 11.
* Issue 3 is due out on May 9.

'''Sableye''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤミラミ''' ''Yamirami'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ghost}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Sableye is a bipedal Pokémon with a dark purple body. It has pale blue, gemstone-like eyes, which allow it to see in low light and sparkle in the dark. It also has a red gemstone on its chest and its back has two blue gems and another red one. These gem-like eyes and adornments on its body are caused by its diet, which consists of rocks and raw gemstones. It also has sharp teeth and claws. It is feared by people, since it is said to steal a person's soul if they look into its eyes. It is nocturnal and is rarely seen. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

==Trivia==
* The [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|ruby, sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|emerald]] on Sableye's body may be a reference to the three games of the [[Generation III|generation]] it debuted in.
* Sableye seems to be the counterpart of {{p|Mawile}}. Both of them are [[version-exclusive]] of Ruby and Sapphire, as well as in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. They also have the same [[base stats|base stat total]] (with the same base HP and Speed). They are also the only two Pokémon that can learn {{m|Metal Burst}} by breeding.
* Sableye shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Murkrow}}. They are both known as the Darkness Pokémon.
* Sableye has the lowest base stat total of all fully evolved Dark-type Pokémon.
*In Generations III to V, Sableye had no weaknesses. However, in Generation VI, it became weak to the new Fairy type.

===Origin===
Sableye is a stylization of the {{wp|Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter|Hopkinsville Goblin}}, a creature from an alleged Kentucky "alien encounter" described as having shining eyes, small legs, clawed arms and swaying hips (a movement that Sableye does indeed imitate in the 3-D Pokémon games). The Hopkinsville aliens are most famous in Japan, where they have appeared in other anime and video games.

====Name origin====
Sableye is a combination of ''{{wp|Sable (heraldry)|sable}}'' and ''{{wp|eye}}''. It may also be a play on ''able-eyed''.

Yamirami may be a combination of 闇 ''yami'' (darkness) and 藪睨み ''yabunirami'' (a {{wp|squint}}) or 睨み ''nirami'' (glare).

==In other languages==

Someone made a valid point ([http://i.imgur.com/Nqyqx5k.jpg]) that the end of his tail looks suspiciously like a Manticore's. We probably won't have any confirmation on that until evolutions come out, but I think it's a high possibility.{{unsigned|Dakar}}

I think the article should refraim from mentioning any Gender based items until we know more about this Pokémon. For all we know, its a male only species. or the females might be totally different. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 19:06, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

== Korean name for Litleo ==

Its Korean name is 레오꼬 ''Re'okko''.
* It's a mix of its Japanese name and its English name; 레오 ''re'o'' is "Leo" (lion), 꼬 ''kko'' is from 꼬마 ''kkoma'' meaning "tiny thing", "small child", etc.
* Incidentally, 꼬리 ''kkori'' means "tail", but I think that's just a coincidence. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 18:30, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

== Type combination ==

I think it's worth mentioning - like with other pages - that litleo's type combination is unique. [[User:Benjabby|Benjabby]] ([[User talk:Benjabby|talk]]) 16:37, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

We have to wait till the entire dex is out. Because there could be a new mon that isn't related to Litleo but has the same typing. --[[User:Antlionerd|Antlionerd]] ([[User talk:Antlionerd|talk]]) 23:03, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

'''Drought''' (Japanese: '''ひでり''' ''Drought'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have this Ability. Prior to [[Generation V]], it was the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Groudon}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Drought summons {{weather|sun}}light in battle as soon as a Pokémon with Drought enters the battle. Its effects almost are the same as {{m|Sunny Day}}'s; the only difference is that instead of lasting for five turns, it lasts for the whole battle until a different weather condition replaces it. If a Pokémon with Drought is sent out in the same turn as another Pokémon whose Ability creates a different weather condition, the slower Pokémon's Ability will override the faster Pokémon's Ability.

===Outside of battle===
Drought has no effect outside of battle.

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Seasons==
===Japanese Version seasons===
The ''Best Wishes'' series has been divided into multiple arcs in the Japanese release, similar to the "chapters" of the {{series|Original}}:
*Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! ([[BW001]]-[[BW084]])
*Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! Season 2 ([[BW085]]-[[BW108]])
*Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N ([[BW109]]-[[BW122]])
*Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! Season 2: Decolora Adventure! ([[BW123]]-present)

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

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

==Trivia==
[[File:BW series prerelease.png|thumb|A pre-release poster, featuring {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{an|Iris}}, her {{p|Axew}}, and {{an|Cilan}}]]
* The ''Best Wishes'' series is the first series since the [[original series]] to have no in-game playable characters present in Ash's group.
* It is likely that the ''Best Wishes'' title is intentionally comprised of words beginning with B and W as an allusion to its counterpart games, {{2v2|Black|White}}.
** In the Japanese title, the katakana transcription of the English word "Wishes" ('''ウイッシュ''') contains the Japanese name of the region the games and anime series take place in, [[Unova|Isshu]] ('''イッシュ''').
* For several weeks, previews of the ''Best Wishes'' series's early episodes explicitly excluded [[Ash Ketchum]], with the hosts of [[Pokémon Sunday]] commenting on his absence. Ash did not appear on a pre-release poster, as well. This was likely to hide his redesign for greater surprise.
* Much like the original series, Ash's female companion debuts in the first episode of the series, but she is not introduced in full until the second, and Ash meets his male traveling companion in the fifth episode, when he leaves behind his Gym Leader duties to travel with Ash. Both of Ash's traveling companions are also Gym Leaders in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}}.
* The first few episodes of this series share similar elements to the first few episodes of the original series, while there are many allusions to the original series present.
* ''Best Wishes'' is the first anime series that did not premiere on the same day its respective games were released since the original series.
* Ash catches the Unova starter Pokémon in reverse Pokédex order, obtaining {{AP|Oshawott}}, then {{AP|Tepig}}, and finally {{AP|Snivy}}. All previous times he has caught multiple starter Pokémon he has caught the {{type|Grass}} among them first, following up with the {{type|Fire}} in all regions but [[Hoenn]], and finally catching the {{type|Water}} among the group in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] only.

* With the beginning of this series, many attacks have had their visual appearances changed (for instance, {{type|Fire}} attacks and {{m|Stone Edge}} are now rendered in CGI, while [[physical attack|physical]] {{type|Steel}} attacks make the corresponding body part steel-colored rather than white). {{m|Hyper Beam}} has also been changed considerably, to match how it looks in the games.
* In [[BW061]], ''[[Who's That Pokémon?|Dare da?]]'' returned after an absence of 444 episodes. The dub equivalent, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' had already returned as of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''.
* ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', the final episode of ''Season 2: Episode N'' aired in Japan during the same week that ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', the first episode of Episode N aired in the United States.

Talk:Eyecatch

2013-08-19T01:14:24Z

Digifiend: /* Can someone please identify these... */

Can this also bring to the eyecatch of the game locations in Gen III and IV? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 04:17, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
:They have their own space in those articles, maybe we could writte a little paragraph about those and explain that tey can be seen in their articles themselves. [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 17:34, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
::Or we could create a new article... this could be eyecatch (anime); the other could be eyecatch (games). [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 17:37, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
:::I guess you're right! So we can see then all together instead of in several separated articles. I could help if somebody tells me how :)[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 17:47, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

==Original Series eyecatch==
Shouldn't we include somewhere in the article that before the seizure fiasco, before it showed the Pokemon in the eyecatch, there was a flash of white light that morphed into the Pocket Monsters logo? [[User:JacobTheDoduo|JacobtheDoduo]] ([[User talk:JacobTheDoduo|talk]]) 00:38, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

== Game "eyecatches" ==

I've mentioned this elsewhere before, but I really don't think we should consider the game artworks eyecatches. I know they are categorized as that on the Archives, but they are so drastically different from anime eyecatches (a loading screen would be more similar) that I really don't like the idea of considering them to be the same thing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:12, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
:What do you want to call them then? Also, following your logic, we need to separate actual bugs from glitches and both from oversights, since it would be more accurate.{{tt|*|and this would be something that I agree with}} [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

== Power Plant ==

This page is missing the eyecatch for the Power Plant in FireRed/LeafGreen. [[User:Sphericalice|Sphericalice]] ([[User talk:Sphericalice|talk]]) 20:03, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
:It has been added.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

==Different graphics on Who's That Pokemon==
Shouldn't the different graphical styles for Who's That Pokemon be shown here? The graphic style used for Advanced was actually introduced for Johto League Champions, and the previous season, Johto Journeys, had another different style. A shortlived Japanese one is also missing. [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 01:14, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Blaziken (Pokémon)

2013-08-08T18:27:37Z

Digifiend: /* Mega */ datestamp

By the way, Blaziken would make a brilliant Fighting and Flying type if it wasn't a Fire type. (Irrelevant) [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 17:54, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

== However, Blaziken does have more power than Infernape. ==

Can somebody rewrite that sentence? It isn't clear what stat this is supposed to be referred to. By power does it mean the Attack stat? Special Attack state? The powerful fire-type moves, clarification needed. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 23:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

== Blaziken resembles Brooklyn from the Gargoyles TV series and comics. ==

Aside from the similarities in color and the fact that they both have a distinctly non-human face, I really don't see the resemblance. [[User:Eeveeman133|Eeveeman133]] 13:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

:I don't see it either, and I'm of the mind that these resemblances need to stop. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 14:08, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

::I removed it. Even for a trivia section, I see no need to point out a vague similarity that was most likely unintended. [[User:Eeveeman133|Eeveeman133]] 19:55, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

:::If you removed it, it's come back. Should it be removed again? [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 19:51, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
::::Done. It's been removed. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jel]][[User Talk:Jello|lo]] 20:14, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

== flaming wrists ==

it says that Blaziken has flames spouting from its wrists like in the anime but how come none of its sprites have them?
[[User:Ultamatecharizard|Ultamatecharizard]] 16:10, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Um, because they dont. It would be really cool to see one made though.[[User:Shadow lucario|Shadow lucario]] 04:23, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
:The Mystery Dungeon attack sprites for Blaziken have flamming wrists. [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 18:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

== Blaziken's Blast Burn ==

I think it's necessary to mention that Blaziken's Blast Burn on a [[Paras (Pokémon)|Paras]] can do the most damage (hypothetical) of ALL possible situations (Lv100, with Blaze activated, in strong sunlight, SAtk +6, Metronome maximized, critical hit, as well as Lv1 Paras with Dry Skin, -6 SDef). It's over 10^10. [[User:Rxhar|Rxhar]] 10:13, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
:That's because Paras has a 4x weakness to fire--[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 10:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
::And remember that it's not just Blaziken with the Blast Burn. Charizard, Typhlosion, and Infernape too. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 12:48, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually, whichever has the highest Sp.A. of those. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 15:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
::::I meant who can have Blast Burn, but I get what you mean. For base Sp. Attack it would be Blaziken with 110, while Charizard and Typhy have 109, and Infernape has 104. I haven't ever had a Blaziken with more Sp. Attack than any Charizard or Typhlosion though. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 20:35, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::Well, Blaziken's attack ''only'' does 13 million damage. Shuckle's rollout on Yanma does 213 million. [[User:S and T|S and T]] 01:26, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
I thought it was a maxed defense shuckle with power trick and rollout and defence curl and all that fun stuff--[[User:Bulbsur-ivysaur-venusaur|Bulbsur-ivysaur-venusaur]] 23:25, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
:Why would it be MAXED defense? [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 19:02, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
::Ignoring the fact that you've just replied to a 3 month old conversation, it needs maxed defense as {{m|Power Trick}} swaps the user's current Attack and Defense stats. It is explained a bit more {{DL|Shuckle (Pokémon)|Trivia|here}}. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:34, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
:::oh [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 19:55, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

== Double Edge ==

Can we say If a Blaziken was migrated from Fr/Lg to DPPt knowing Double Edge, then learning the other two versions it can know, then will it be the only Pokémon to know the most as of Gen IV or are there others. I've the best as I can so I need some confirmation. Thank You. {{u|Laxafett}} 12:25, 12 July 2009(UTC)

==Smeargle==
Why is Smeargle not listed as a parent in Blaziken's Egg Move table? There should be no instances where Chain breeding is "required".--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 04:33, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

==Edit Request==
Anime Pokedex EP271 Ash's Pokedex 'Blaziken, the Blaze Pokémon. Blaziken is able to easily leap over 30 story buildings with its great lower body stregnth.' Please and thank you. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 15:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
:Added. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 19:53, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

== Superman Origins? ==

Blaziken shares many similarities with Superman, including the ability to "leap tall buildings in a single bound". At least 30 ft tall buildings. Also they kinda share a color scheme, Blaziken has blue and yellow eyes. Another thing, in the PokePark Pad entry, it mentions him loving power and justice. Is this worth mentioning anywhere? --[[User:Fimbulwinter2012|"FiMbUlWiNtEr2O|2"]] 01:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
:I agree with you. It's learning Brave bird might be a reference to superman's flying. [[User:S and T|S and T]] 05:06, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
::Well, I think that's probably just because it's a bird. --[[User:Fimbulwinter2012|☆'''FiMbUlWiNtEr2O|2'''☆]] 23:42, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
:::No. <s>It doesn't have a big red S anywhere on its body</s> This is opinion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 01:55, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
::::How is it opinion? --[[User:Fimbulwinter2012|☆'''FiMbUlWiNtEr2O|2'''☆]] 07:23, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

== Blaziken's Movepool ==

I noticed in Generation III, Blaziken was able to learn Mirror Move through Level Up, but in Generations IV and V, Mirror Move was replaced with Brave Bird. Is that trivia worthy on Blaziken's page or could this be noted on Mirror Move and/or Brave Bird's page? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] 16:38, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
:That's not trivia worthy. Movesets change like that all the time. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:44, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
::Ok. I was just curious. Thanks anyway. :) --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] 19:35, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

== Mega ==

Shouldn't the generation 6 Mega evolution, Mega Bursyamo (English name not known yet) be added to this page? As reported on Bulbanews, it was confirmed in Corocoro. [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 18:27, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Fairy (type)

Digifiend: /* Confirmed Fairy-types */

== Confirmed Fairy-types ==
Aside from Sylveon as the first pure Fairy-type, Pokecom.com has confirmed that Gardevoir is now Psychic/Fairy, Marill is Water/Fairy and Jigglypuff in Normal/Fairy.

http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/fairy_type/

Worth adding to this page their respective pages, ''ja''? [[User:NP Chilla|NP Chilla]] ([[User talk:NP Chilla|talk]]) 15:46, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
: We're working our fastest to update the pages and bring them to standard, I can guarentee you this page is being worked on by a staff member and if you will check the Pokemon pages you will see the work has started, it has only just been announced, give us a chance to do the work, and do it right. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 15:51, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
::Surely it's safe to assume that Azurill, Azumarill, Igglybuff, and Wigglytuff are fairy types as well? And with a name like Clefairy, it, Cleffa and Clefable are obvious candidates as well. [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]])

== Nitpicking ==

This is just nitpicking but the colour you used to represent gen 6 on the "list of pokemon with cross generational evolutions" is different from the type you used to represent gen 6 on the new moves. Stay consistent please :( [[User:0danmaster0|0danmaster0]] ([[User talk:0danmaster0|talk]]) 16:20, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

== Redirect ==

Add a redirect to this page from "fairy type." [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arc''']][[Special:Contributions/LordArceus|'''eus''']] 18:41, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

'''"Looker"''' (Japanese: '''ハンサム''' ''Handsome'') is the codename for a character introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. He was first announced in an issue of [[CoroCoro]] as an [[International Police]] officer on assignment investigating [[Team Galactic]] and its plans.

==In the games==
===In Platinum===
[[File:Spr Pt Looker.png|thumb|left|Looker's sprite used during Platinum's opening]]
[[File:Looker.png‎|thumb|left|The {{player}} first meets Looker.]]
In {{game|Platinum}}, Looker is an important character, encountering the {{player}} multiple times over their journey across [[Sinnoh]]. He speaks with odd grammatical constructs, implying that he is not a native speaker of the {{pkmn|nation}}al language; however, this is not present in the Japanese version. He first meets the player in [[Jubilife City]], giving them the [[Vs. Recorder]], and appears often when Team Galactic is near. His motives are clear: his mission is to stop Team Galactic from causing havoc in the Sinnoh region. He is then met again at the [[Valley Windworks]], right after Team Galactic flee from the area. Disappointed in just missing them, he searches the area for clues, which leads him somehow to the [[Galactic Eterna Building]], where Team Galactic have kidnapped [[Rad Rickshaw]]'s Pokémon. Looker infiltrates the building by disguising himself as a Team Galactic grunt.

The player next encounters Looker at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], if one decides to look there. If not, then he will appear after the player and {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} battle the Galactic Grunts in front of the [[Galactic Warehouse]]. He leads the player into the warehouse and realize that the inner door is locked. He also finds {{HM|02|Fly}}, leaving the player to take it.

Looker will appear once the player goes to [[Team Galactic HQ]] and talks to the Grunt outside. He will reveal that he has the {{key|IV|Storage Key}} and will tell the player to meet him in the Galactic Warehouse. Once there, he will open the door and go down to investigate.

Inside the headquarters, he will not be seen until the player reaches the meeting room, where he is seen eavesdropping on a gathering of members of Team Galactic. He will tell the player to listen to their meeting with him. When it is over, he will leave again.

Later, he gives the player a {{DL|Flute|Black Flute}} when they are about to go off to the [[Spear Pillar]].

When [[Cyrus]] retreats into the [[Distortion World]], Looker shifts his investigation towards [[Charon]], who has taken control of the team. This is because Looker stumbles upon Charon's notes of his plans back at the [[Team Galactic HQ]]. He is not seen again until after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]], when they journey to [[Stark Mountain]]. Here he is seen in the final stages of his investigation, arresting Charon and ending Team Galactic's reign of terror once and for all.

After this, he can be found in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. He mentions that he wants to spend his remaining time in Sinnoh to teach new moves to his Pokémon.

====Disguises====
Looker is shown to be quite good at disguising himself. His prime disguise is that of a Team Galactic grunt. At Stark Mountain, before he apprehends Charon, he disguises himself as a {{m|Rock Smash|smashable rock}}.

====Pokémon====
Although he does not battle with or against the player at all during the entirety of the game, it is known that he has a {{p|Croagunk}}. He uses it to get the [[Magma Stone]] from Charon at Stark Mountain.

====Quotes====
{{incomplete|section}}
=====[[Jubilife City]] (first visit)=====
:''"WHAAAT?! ...How did you know? How did you unmask me as a member of the International Police?!"''

:''"...Heh. You claim you were only {{ga|Dawn|making}} {{ga|Lucas|conversation}}, do you? But, I know better not to believe that. No, no, no. You recognized right away that I was someone extraordinary. That is why you spoke to me, is it not? Your power of observation is fearsome! Quite admirable, you are! Now that my cover has been blown, let me introduce myself. I am a globe-trotting elite of the International Police. My name... Ah, no. I shall inform you only of my code name. My code name, it is Looker. It is what they all call me. Incidentally, is the saying, 'Don't be a thief!' familiar to you?"''
::'''No''': ''"No? You claim to not know it? How could that be? Perhaps your mama has said it, but you have forgotten it, like usual? Now listen, my friends. It is wrong to take what belongs to others."''

::'''Yes''': ''"Yes, that is correct. Taking what belongs to others is wrong."''

:''"Unfortunately, there are apparently those who do not heed those words. In [[Sinnoh]], in fact, there are [[Team Galactic|criminals]] stealing the Pokémon of others. I have, therefore, been on the lookout for characters arousing my suspicion. Incidentally, you are {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, yes? Perhaps you can make use of this? That [[Vs. Recorder]], it is a nifty device for recording a match. I obtained it because it is quite popular these days. But myself, I do not do Pokémon battling very often. It will be in better hands with you. Also, I have a request. If you were to see me again, I ask that you not talk to me, for I am on duty. ...Actually, yes, yes, you may speak to me. You must. Not because I am lonely, no, no! You must inform me of bad guys! You must inform me of any happenings!"''

=====[[Jubilife City]] (second visit)=====
:''"Ah, yes. I see that you have obtained it, a [[Pal Pad]] for yourself. I myself, a member of the International Police, the fighters of crime around the world, have one also. For it is what one must have to trade with Trainers around the world. Take that Pal Pad to the [[Global Terminal]] for [[Trade|trading]] on an international level! Anyway, there appears to be no one shady in this Jubilife City. I shall therefore take my investigation elsewhere. But, my friend, I suggest you remain vigilant for shady grown-ups!"''

=====[[Valley Windworks]]=====
:''"Ah, yes. It is you, yes. I have heard that the Team Galactic appeared at this power plant I have, therefore, come running. So, the Team Galactic. Where are they? ... You have run them off, you say? You are a Trainer, but...? Very well! I shall go investigate inside! Magnificent! Yes, it is! What you have said, it is all true! Superb! Though you are young, you are a Trainer through and through! Very well! I shall pursue the culprits! I have received tips that the [[Galactic Eterna Building|Team Galactic hideout]] is in [[Eterna City]]. To there, I must be off!"''

=====[[Galactic Eterna Building]]=====
:''"Hello! It is me! Me! Hahaha! I have startled you, yes? I am, after all, an officer of the International Police. It is only natural that I be a master of disguise. ...Incidentally, you are a first-rate Trainer. Of that, I am very aware. I therefore think you will be OK, but I must warn you to be careful anyway. Also, a word of advice. This building, it has two stairs. One of them, a trap it must be. But the crooks of Team Galactic, they do not appear, how shall I say, smart. There should be an easy way to tell the stairs apart!"''

=====[[Veilstone Game Corner]]=====
:''"Ah, it is you, yes. I have decide to use opportunity of being here in Sinnoh. I am therefore trying to teach moves to Pokémon that I have captured. Also, if I have nothing to do, it means the world, it is at peace. ...Ack. My streak is broken."''

=====[[Stark Mountain]]=====
:''"Go, go, go!"'''
:''"Excellent work, CROAGUNK!"''
:''"Pah! Disguising myself as a boulder for stakeout was not easy!"''
:''"Now, old-timer, the International Police cordially requests your cooperation. I am sure you have much to tell us about the new Team Galactic. With Cyrus, Mars, and Jupiter gone, you are all that is left."''
:''"You can tell us all about it. We have plenty of time. Oh, no, no. No resisting arrest. You can't win three-on-one, no? OK, officers, over here, if you will."''
:''"He is an old man. This heat cannot be good for him. Quickly, take him somewhere cool. Yes, the cooler will do!"''
:''"<Player>! And you, [[Buck|unfamiliar boy]]! I wish to say something. First, it is too hot! Let us exit this environment!"''
:''"Whew! The air outside, it is delicious, yes! ...Gweh! Gah! Geff! Bleah! I have inhaled volcanic ash by the lungful! Now, you two. This is what they were after. The Magma Stone. Moving this is said to awaken the Pokémon HEATRAN. The old tales say that its awakening, it will make Stark Mountain erupt. ...But I have moved it. It is here. Will this cause the eruption?!"''
:''"That boy, he has quite the energy, yes? <Player>, I should tell you why I have arrived here. After we parted at Mt. Coronet, I investigated their hideout. I uncovered Charon's plot, which led me to a stakeout of this place. That Charon is now securely within our custody. It is safe to say the Team Galactic is a threat no longer. That being said, it looks like my work here is finally finished."''
:''"I, also, will take my leave. 'The more wonderful the meeting, the sadder the parting.' That is a quote I heard many years ago in a foreign land. Its meaning... I understand it better now. Farewell, <player>, my friend! Long may you cherish Pokémon!"''

===In Black and White===
[[File:Looker BW.png|thumb|Looker meeting {{ga|Hilbert}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
Looker is found in {{game|Black and White|s}}, where he is assigned to capture the [[Seven Sages]] of [[Team Plasma]] after the events at [[N's Castle]].

He first meets the player at their home in [[Nuvema Town]], after the player defeats Team Plasma at N's Castle. He appears disguised as the player's [[mom|mother]], only to realize that he forgot to remove his disguise. He asks for the player's assistance in finding the Seven Sages, and gives the player a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}.

Looker will appear upon finding each sage to take him into custody. After apprehending the final sage, Looker tells the player that [[N]] was seen in a distant land with a {{t|dragon}} Pokémon.

====Quotes====
=====[[Nuvema Town]]=====
:''"Incredible, really. Amazing, absolutely, meeting these two Pokémon of legend!"''
:''"Oh! I still wear my disguise! Pardon! Or, rather, let me introduce myself."''
:''"I am a globe-trotting elite of the [[International Police]]. My name... Ah, no, I shall inform you of my code name only. My code name, it is Looker. It is how I am called! Behind the scenes in this region of Unova, an organization called Team Plasma conspires... This I have heard, and therefore, to this region I must come, but... Thanks to the Gym Leaders and to you, yes, Team Plasma's castle has fallen. And the members, they have gone upon their separate ways! This is what I hear, most certainly!"''
:''"But, however! However, but... The ones known as the Seven Sages--still they hide themselves in the Unova region."''
:''"And so, in the end, it explains why I must ask this of you, Trainer of amazing skill! Travel the Unova region and search it up and search it down for the Seven Sages! Alder, the Champion of renown, recommended you to my notice. Are you willing to help me?"''
::'''No''': ''"Ah, ah! Yet once more shall I ask! If you please, travel the Unova region and search it low and high for these Seven Sages!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! I thank you! Now I feel as if I have perhaps a million people on my side. Permit me to give this into your hands!"''
:''"Yes, correct! It is certainly a Super Rod!"''
:''"I see. It is truly <player>'s mama to ask so! What a magnificent question! I admire it. It is my pleasure to answer. Absolutely nothing!"''
:''"Yes, I shall provide the explanation of this, the Super Rod! First! Face the water and employ the rod! Second! Concentrate your focal point! When it occurs that these Pokémon bite, "!" will indicate. Immediately, reel in! For the rest, <player>, I depend upon you!"''

=====Across Unova=====
* Upon arresting each sage (says one of these at random)
:''"Ah... And now, about Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and there are so many things you must tell me at once!"''
:''"Regarding Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and you must satisfy request for certain information!"''
:''"Indeed! I am an officer of the International Police, and I demand to hear all you know about Team Plasma!"''
:''"On the topic of Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, so you would be wise to share all you know."''
:''"Regarding Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and you must supply the information I request!"''

* When there are still sages remaining (says one of these at random)
:''"Accept my thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. What is it they are thinking, what it may be they are hoping, this is the information I pursue. Until we meet again!"''
:''"Accept my thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. They are thinking--upon what topics? They are hoping--upon what chances? This is of the utmost urgency! At once! On the way!"''
:''"Many thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. What is it they are thinking, what it may be they are hoping, this is the information I have need of. Until we meet again!"''
:''"Thanks many times over! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. The thoughts they are contemplating, the hopes they are anticipating, these--these are what I want to know! Until our next meeting!"''
:''"Truly, I thank you! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. Their innermost thoughts, their uttermost hopes... These I must and shall discover! Once more, a brief farewell!"''

* When the last sage is arrested
:''"Thank you a lot! Eh, <player>... On a topic I must speak to you. Having received such a report, of someone far from here, who has seen a person like N and...a dragon Pokémon. I am on my way to verify the veracity of this information. We will meet again one day!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Looker anime.png|thumb|left|240px|Looker in the anime]]
Looker made his debut appearance in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met Looker while taking a train leading to [[Lake Acuity]], and decided to help him distribute lunch boxes as he has bought too many of them. He decided to investigate the reason behind the signal which caused the train to stop and discovered it was the doing of [[Team Galactic]].

He appeared again in ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]'', investigating Team Galactic's activities in [[Mt. Coronet]] while disguised as a {{tc|Galactic Grunt|grunt}} to blend in.

Looker made another appearance in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', having been captured by Team Galactic and held at the [[Fuego Ironworks]]. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'' he arrested the Team Galactic members.

[[File:Looker BW anime.png|thumb|right|240px|Looker in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
{{n|Handsome to make a comeback in Best Wishes|Looker was set to make a comeback}} in two [[BW023 (unaired)|unaired]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] before they were indefinitely {{n|Airing of two-part Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan episode to be moved|postponed}}. The events of these episodes were later retconned out of canon.

After a long absence, Looker finally appeared again in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. He had originally disguised himself as a {{tc|Hiker}}, but revealed his true identity after saving Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} from a group of attacking Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. He explained that he had come to [[Unova]] in order to investigate the actions of [[Team Plasma]], who were planning to take over the region. After an encounter with several Team Plasma members, including the Plasma Scientist [[Colress]], he left the group to continue his investigation.
[[File:Looker Hiker.png|thumb|left|240px|Looker disguised as a Hiker]]
Looker appered again in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', again investigating actions caused by Team Plasma. Ash and friends encountered him at a city, where a {{p|Haxorus}} was going on a rampage. Looker realized that it must be under the same kind of control as the Pokémon from before, and attempted to use his barrier-creating device to stop Haxorus from being controlled, without any result. He then used an energy indicator to find the source of the energy that controlled Haxorus, eventually pinpointing it into Team Plasma's helicopter. When a missed {{m|Shadow Ball}} from {{un|Angie}}'s {{p|Liepard}} hit the machine, it was broken, freeing the controlled Pokémon.
[[File:Looker Badge.png|thumb|240px|Looker's International Police Badge]]
In [[BW120]], he disguised himself as [[Cedric Juniper]]'s assistant and escorted Ash and his friends to the [[White Ruins]]. Later, when Team Plasma attacked in an attempt to find the Light Stone, he unmasked himself and began trying to fight the villains. He also appeared in [[BW121]] and [[BW122]], where he wound up getting caught along with Iris, Cilan, and Cedric Juniper, but they later freed Looker. He then managed to convince Team Rocket into joining the battle. Eventually, when {{p|Reshiram}} was freed from Team Plasma's control, Looker arrested all the Team Plasma members, effectively putting an end to the team's existance.

In the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}, Looker built an alliance with {{TRT}} while trying to take down Team Galactic. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} referred to him as '''Boxed-Lunch Guy''' (Japanese: '''ランチボックスさん''' ''Mr. Lunchbox'') because he gave them boxed lunches while on the Ampharos Train. That simple act left them extremely loyal to him. In the {{series|Best Wishes!}}, this relationship was shown to have carried on, as seen in [[BW122]], where he managed to convince them into joining the final battle against Team Plasma.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Looker Adventures.png|thumb|150px|right|Looker in Pokémon Adventures]]

In Pokémon Adventures, Looker investigates several of the activities caused by various villainous groups. To help him with his investigations, Looker uses many gadgets known as the "International Police Arms". However, many of these gadgets have a tendency to break apart at Looker's expense.

Looker first appears in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} where he interrogates the two scientists hired by [[Team Galactic]] to guard [[Lake Valor]]. Due to them not knowing anything about Team Galactic, the interrogation went nowhere. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Looker makes his appearance looking for his client. He eventually meets up with his client, {{adv|Platinum|Platinum Berlitz}}, and joins her in her quest to research information on the [[Distortion World]] so that she can rescue her bodyguards. [[Paka and Uji]].

Looker joins Platinum as she goes through the various Battle Facilities and usually helps her when she is having trouble in them. In the Battle Castle, he helps Platinum with her money-managing troubles, which helps her defeat {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}}. While Platinum goes through the Battle Arcade, Looker goes to help their ally [[Buck]] fight [[Team Galactic]] on [[Stark Mountain]]. When he arrives, he finds out that [[Charon]] had obtained the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Heatran}}, and has been using it to attack Buck. Worried about Looker's safety, Platinum sends her Pokémon to go and help them while she goes through the Battle Factory. They eventually return with Looker and Buck, who were seriously injured and later hospitalized.

After {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and Platinum defeat Charon, a fully recovered Looker appears and arrests Charon. He goes to chase after the other Team Galactic commanders until his superior contacts him and tells him to call the mission off. He is ordered to head to [[Unova]] and investigate the activities of the [[Seven Sages]]. Looker leaves immediately but quickly comes back to give Diamond a {{p|Manaphy|Pokémon Egg}} he received from some {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s in [[Fiore]].

In the {{chap|Black & White}}, Looker appears as a participant in the Unova Pokémon League. Disguised as a man named Handa Samurō (Japanese: '''ハンダサムロウ'''), he battles until he eventually makes it to the top 8. During the quarterfinal match, Looker faces {{adv|Black}} as his opponent. Due to his {{p|Croagunk}} not being a native Unova Pokémon, he has the advantage due to Black not being able to figure out his opponent's type. Eventually, Black manages to figure out Croagunk's type and defeats it. Having been defeated, Looker disappears and goes into hiding.

After taking off his disguise, Looker reveals that he has entered the League to investigate the suspicious participants, as he believes that one of them may be a member of [[Team Plasma]]. When Gray reveals himself to be [[Zinzolin]] of Team Plasma, Looker immediately takes the chance to tie him up and capture him.

In the Unova Pokémon League, Croagunk was used to battle Black's [[Tula]]. Due to Croagunk not being an Unova-native Pokémon, Black had no idea what his opponent's type was. Eventually, Croagunk was defeated by Tula's {{m|Electroweb}}.

Croagunk's only known move is {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.}}

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[File:Looker DPA.png|thumb|90px|Looker in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]

In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga, he and [[Koya]] are on the trail looking for [[Hareta]]'s father, [[Kaisei]]. Like in the games, he is also working for the [[International Police]]. His name in early chapters is ''Hansom'', but he is later identified as Looker.

In the chapter Looker debuted in, he is able to identify Galactic grunts in the crowd before they launched a terrorist attack on the stadium; once the Galactic incident is taken care of, he tries to take Kaisei into custody. Later, he along with several other agents of the International Police have arrived in [[Stark Mountain]] and disguise themselves as rocks in order to capture [[Team Galactic]]. However, the villainous team escapes when an earthquake in Stark Mountain distracted Looker and the others. He stays behind to save Koya. After calming {{p|Heatran}} down by placing the [[Magma Stone]] back to where it belongs, Looker wonders if any members remained during the cave-in, in which Koya responds with no.

Looker then arrives in [[Team Galactic HQ|Team Galactic's headquarters]] in order to continue his search for Team Galactic and has Koya block the entrance in order to prevent anyone from going inside. However, he informs Koya that Charon was too powerful and his whole squad was defeated. Looker defends Koya when he was about to get hit by {{p|Onix}}. After witnessing Charon's strength, Looker tells Koya to retreat the area. Despite that, Koya decides to stop Charon for good in which Looker accepts. Much later, Looker arrived on Stark Mountain after the battle with the [[Creation trio]], awaiting for Charon's arrival in order to arrest him. Following Charon's arrest, Looker notifies him that Team Galactic was disbanded on behalf of Cyrus's orders.

===In the Pocket Monsters DP manga===
[[File:Looker PMDP.png|thumb|left|110px|Looker in Pocket Monsters DP]]

Looker has also appeared in the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}} manga. He debuted in [[PMDP38]] where he ran out of the police car after arrival in order to investigate something. Looker was then disturbed by {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s antics but after he went up to {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and the gang, they ran off. Looker was right behind them and after he caught up, the group once again zoomed away. Tired of Looker's presence, Clefairy built a fake wall out of paper to hide in but it ripped off rather quickly. The group then swam to the other side to avoid Looker but he too did the same. Following the chase, Looker tries to search for them and finds some footprints leading to a house. He knocks on the door and the door opens by itself. Clefairy runs out in an ice cream costume and he, Red, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}, and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} get away in a car. Despite that, Looker was able to catch them and informs them that he had something to give and show them all this time.

Looker returned in [[PMDP51]] where he was at the beach with Red and his Pokémon. He noticed that Clefairy looked darker than before and then all of the other Pokémon start to mimic him, clothes-wise. This caused Looker to chase Clefairy and Clefairy chasing the Pokémon who copied Looker. In [[PMDP54]], he goes on a solo mission with Clefairy joining him when [[Team Galactic]] steal a kid's food truck. After spotting the thieves, Looker and Clefairy give chase. When Clefairy putted on his ninja costume temporarily, Looker fell to the floor in amusement. As the truck arrives at the garage which was their stop, Looker was unable to get inside the garage but after seeing the two grunts running off with the food but Clefairy stopped them with his own supplies after tripping on a rock.

In [[PMDP59]], he is on the lookout for Team Galactic and met up with Red and his Pokémon at a casino. Unfortunately, after finding their hiding place, the alarms go off and Looker and Clefairy go to the location. [[Charon]] makes a break for it and Looker is right behind him. Both of them head for Team Galactic's helicopter and climbs the ladder. While on the ladder, they notice Clefairy taking some loot. The helicopter then disappears into the distance.

It should at least be mentioned that humans are not unheard of in the MD region(s), (otherwise the characters would be wondering what the {{p|Rattata}} a 'human' is). --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 10:23, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

== "Regions in the Pokemon world" box section thing at bottom of page. ==

Orre is listed under "Main Series". Shouldn't it be under "sidegames"? I don't know how to edit that box, so zoom zoom ZOOM![[User:Tokeupdude|Tokeupdude]] 18:36, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
:Orre is considered a main series region due to the fact that Colosseum and XD are both RPG games and have almost exactly the same gameplay as Ruby/Sapphire etc., unlike Fiore, Mystery Dungeon world, etc. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 19:51, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
::Gameplay should not alone, determine whether a region is part of the main series or not. Orre does not have gym leaders, a league (yes, Johto lacks one, but it at least shares with Kanto's), connecting routes... I don't understand it. --[[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 00:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
:If it is a "main series" game then why did my description get entirely deleted when I put the description for Orre in the main series section?

== Why Orre? ==

I don't think Orre should be listed under main series regions. Yes, Pokemon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness are RPG's similar to the main series games, but it lacks everything else the main series has. Orre should be under side-series regions. Also, Pokemon Coloseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness are side-series games. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 01:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
:'''Orre''' is the setting of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], which (after many long community discussions) are both classed as main series titles. '''Fiore''' is the setting of the side series title, {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 01:13, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
My mistake. I meant to say Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. I fixed it. Anyway, than how come in the regions template, Orre is under side-series regions? Also, they are side-series games, not main-series. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 01:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

== Decolora ==

Will Decolora count as a new region ala Orange Islands? The first episode of Season Two Da! implies that the islands are not part of Unova, so will Decolora be counted as a new region? [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 17:26, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

== Trivia section ==

There are some things to the trivia section that need checking:
* ''The names of the five regions visited in the main series games are all composed of four kana: カントー (Kanto), ジョウト (Johto), ホウエン (Hoenn), シンオウ (Sinnoh), and イッシュ (Unova).''; Karosu has only got three of them.
* The last bit of trivia is oddly structured, is it supposed to say "it's"? It could be changed into ''Each region has the letter 'o' present in their English names (Kant'''o''', Joht'''o''', H'''o'''enn, Sinn'''o'''h and Un'''o'''va).'' {{unsigned|Ariano}}
::No, it's is short for it is, so its is correct. Of course, that last trivia entry needs updating. The fact is still true, so just add Kalos to it: "Each region has the letter 'o' in each of its English names (Kant'''o''', J'''o'''ht'''o''', H'''o'''enn, Sinn'''o'''h, Un'''o'''va and Kal'''o'''s)." The sentence structure is odd though I'll admit, maybe change it to "Every region has the letter 'o' in its English name (Kant'''o''', J'''o'''ht'''o''', H'''o'''enn, Sinn'''o'''h, Un'''o'''va and Kal'''o'''s)." [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 01:02, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

== New region ==
The new region is called Karosu. Can someone photoshop the region out of the magazine, heighten its quality, and put it here? You know what, I just reread that, and it sounds complicated. We should still at least add the cropped CoroCoro picture. {{unsigned|Poko907}}
: Real life isn't CSI, you can't heighten the quality with a click of a mouse (at least not to the degree we want). I'd say we'll just wait for when better scans are released which should be in shortly --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 00:35, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
:: Better scans have been released. On a completely different note, do we have any great artists on board? [[User:Poko907|Poko907]] ([[User talk:Poko907|talk]]) 21:13, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

== Kalos Art ==

Shouldn't the pic of the Kalos region be added to the Art section? We have high quality pictures now. [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 20:16, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Mew is notable for its unique ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]] and [[Move Tutor]] move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}).

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mewtwo}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal}} cat-like creature. Mew's hair is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail ending with a rounded tip. Mew has big hind legs and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew's feet are very large with oval markings near its three toes. Mew has triangular ears and baby blue eyes. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body. It also vaguely resembles an embryo or fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb.

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

===Special abilities===
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will, creating force-fields and psychic energy, and being able to {{m|Transform}} into any type of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible. Similarly, Mew has the capability of using any type of telekinetic ability. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, similarly to Celebi, Jirachi, and Victini. Mew has been known to be capable of surviving underwater as well.

===Behavior===
Mew is a very curious and intelligent Pokémon that will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It loves playing around and swimming, and is known to act very childish at times, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it. It is attracted to {{wp|lullaby|lullabies}} and will try to stay as close to the music as possible. All in all, Mew is known as a happy, playful and optimistic species of Pokémon, unlike its clone, {{p|Mewtwo}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Reports found in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or [[Team Rocket]]-funded, which had sighted Mew in [[Guyana]], South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any Pokémon it chooses, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is called a mirage by most. Since many scientists believe that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon, and a number of extraterrestrial Pokémon have been discovered, it is possible that Mew could [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon|inhabit other areas of the universe]], and whether it originates from [[Pokémon world|Earth]] at all is debatable.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Mew M01.png|thumb|250px|Mew in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'']]

===Major appearances===
====[[Mew (M01)]]====
In this movie, Mew made a couple of cameo appearances at the start of the movie. A {{an|Mewtwo}} was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing his [[starter Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island so it could stop Mewtwo from destroying the world. After the end credits of the movie, Mew is shown flying to the mountains.

In the Japanese version, Mew's characterization was different. Mew's intention was to wipe out cloned Pokémon, Mewtwo included, because it viewed them as inferior, in stark contrast to Mewtwo, who wished to eliminate natural-born.

Mew makes a small appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', the sequel to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring.
[[File:Mew M08.png|thumb|250px|Mew in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'']]
====[[Mew (M08)]]====
Another Mew first appeared transformed as a {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and then as a {{p|Taillow}}, landing on [[Cameran Palace]] and then {{m|transform}}ing into {{p|Treecko}}. It then transformed into an {{p|Aipom}} to play with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} released their Pokémon to play with what they thought was an Aipom.

After taking them to an attic, [[Kidd Summers]] sent her two {{p|Weavile}} after it. To escape, it {{m|teleport}}ed itself, along with Pikachu and {{MTR}}. It then transformed once again into a {{p|Pidgeot}} and flew the Pokémon to the [[Tree of Beginning]]. While Ash and the others were looking for Pikachu, Mew kept it entertained with toys.

Mew also nearly sacrificed itself to save the Tree of Beginning. {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|08}} stepped in and was able to save Mew, but ended up sacrificing itself. Mew is believed to still reside at the Tree of Beginning. It is last seen playing with a {{p|Bonsly}}.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to interfere with the plans of [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

===Minor appearances===
[[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' were apparently set in motion due to an Ancient Mew card; the card itself was actually shown in the movie.

A Mew appeared in the opening of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

A Mew appeared in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. As of this episode, every {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mew Adventures.png|right|thumb|Mew as it appears in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Mew debuted in the first round of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but fail. It is known as the "Phantom Pokémon" and was chased by [[Team Rocket]]. It is revealed later on, that Mew inhabits the area near Pallet Town because it lacks the pollution created by humans in other areas.

Team Rocket's chase would continue all the way to {{DL|Pokémon Adventures volume 2|the next volume}}, where they attempt to regain the disc containing Mew's habitat and information from {{adv|Green}}, but fail and are tricked into stealing an empty one she prepared. They catch up to Green and her unwilling ally Red soon afterward, and interrupt them when they tracked down and attempted to capture the rare Pokémon. However, when their {{p|Jynx}} was able to almost succeed, Mew's powerful Psychic attack left them listless, and soon escaped. The small samples of its DNA that the Rockets acquired, however, led to the creation of its powerful clone

Another volume later, Mew is briefly seen looking into [[Indigo Plateau]] after Red wins the Pokémon League championship and decides to return to Pallet Town with his two fellow [[Pokédex Holder]]s.

It later reappeared in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter. {{adv|Mewtwo}} notices this, and realizes that he too had a root to trace itself back to, as it was born from Mew's eyelash.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
A Mew appeared in ''[[PM004|Obtain the Moon Stone!!]]''. This one is actually a woman who was accidentally transformed after an experiment went wrong. She turns back later to her normal form.

{{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} catches Mew as part of the supplies used for the creation of {{p|Mewtwo}}. It was released along with Mewtwo after the creation was unsuccessful.

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} befriended a Mew in ''[[PMRS50|Showdown! Clefairy VS Mew!!]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Mew.png|right|thumb|200px|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In Super Smash Bros. Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single player, the summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Melee, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in Brawl, the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

====Melee trophy information====
''Mew is an extremely rare Pokémon that has been seen by only a few people. Information on every Pokémon in the world is contained in Mew's cell structure, so it has the ability to use any and all TMs and HMs. Some Pokémon scholars believe Mew to be the ancestor of all existing Pokémon, but the idea is debatable.''

====Brawl trophy information====

''"A New Species Pokémon. An extremely rare Pokémon that contains the DNA of all other Pokémon, it is thought by many scholars to be a Pokémon ancestor, considering the wide range of moves it can use. On top of being able to make itself invisible, Mew can also {{m|transform}} into any opponent Pokémon and use characteristics and moves in exactly the same way."''

==={{g|Snap}}===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively makes it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Mew is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Grass Cornet]].
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] Mew takes Pikachu and their friends {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Charmander}} to the {{ga|PokéPark}}. He then appears to Pikachu in a dream once they've arrived in the PokéPark and tells Pikachu to collect pieces of the [[Sky Prism]] so that peace can be restored to the PokéPark. Once all the pieces have been obtained Mew awaits Pikachu at the [[Sky Pavilion]] where he plays. In this game, Mew is referred to as male, despite being genderless in the main series.

==Trivia==
* Though it comes after {{p|Mewtwo}} in the Pokédex, it has to have been discovered before Mewtwo, due to the fact that Mewtwo is Mew's clone.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_pokmon_heartgold_version__soulsilver_version_16288_16289.html</ref>
* In the games, lost scientific reports state that Mew was found in the forests of [[Guyana]].
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in {{v2|Emerald}}.
* Mew had shown up in six opening sequences, more than any other legendary.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Captivate}}, and the only genderless Pokémon besides {{p|Cryogonal}} to learn {{m|Attract}}; however, when used by genderless Pokémon, these moves will always fail.
* Unlike most [[legendary Pokémon]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas most legendary Pokémon need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. The three of them also share base 100 stats.
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]] it has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear, in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251, and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493.
** This is a reference to how many Pokémon were out during the release of each game (151 in [[Generation I]], 251 in [[Generation II]], and 493 in [[Generation IV]]).
[[File:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* Mew shares the move {{m|Transform}} with {{p|Ditto}}, along with also sharing the same {{Shiny}} coloration and the same weight. In addition to this, in {{game|Yellow}}, Ditto can be encountered in the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island, where diary entries on Mew can be found.
* In an interview with [[Game Freak]] and [[Creatures, Inc.]] in [[Nintendo Power]] issue 134, [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]] revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.
* In the US release of Mew as an event for {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, it was released on the ten-year anniversary of the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Mew was the most voted of all [[legendary Pokémon]] on {{n|Official Pokémon website announces Pokémon Power Bracket|Pokémon Power Bracket}}.
* Mew started the trend of every generation introducing a legendary Pokémon with a base stat total of 600 and a stat distribution of 100 all around. Others that follow this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{DL|Form differences|Land Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, and {{p|Victini}}.

===Trademark===
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Mew is similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. Its morphology is similar to a {{wp|jerboa}}, having large hind legs and a long skinny tail. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. It also shares some traits with {{wp|cats}}.

====Name origin====
Mew may be derived from 妙 ''myō'' (strange/unusual), ''mew'' (the sound a kitten makes, referring to its size and cat-like appearance), or ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto), or it may be a combination of ''mystery'' and ''new'' (considering that it is mysterious and "newly" discovered).

'''CITV''' is a United Kingdom TV digital network station currently owned by {{wp|ITV}}. It broadcasts many children's television programs including the [[Pokémon anime]]. It shares its name with the former programming block on [[ITV1]], CITV's parent channel. This channel is free to view on almost all UK Digital TV systems. It is also available over the internet as streaming television on their website.

As its own channel it has shown every dubbed episode of the Pokémon anime from [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] to the first fourteen episodes of the [[Pokémon: Black & White]] series, as well as simulcasting episodes shown on [[ITV1]]. They have also shown all four [[Diamond & Pearl series]] {{pkmn|movie}}s, as well as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]].

As of October 2012, it is transmitting episodes of [[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]] in late weekend morning programming slots. Episodes that are shown on CITV are usually repeated several months later on [[Disney XD]].

Digifiend: /* Request: Minor edit to trivia */

Who coined the term? [[User:Pokéball|Pok]][[User_talk:Pokéball|é]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéball|ball]] 23:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

It is a fanon term but we use it because it was a name of a TCG deck. [[User:Pokemaniac102|Pokemaniac102]]

Hey I made a new Eeveelutions page. I think you'll find it to be very informative! click [[User:Espeon360/Eeveelutions|''here'']]. [[User:Espeon360|The]][[User talk:Espeon360|Espeon]][[User:Espeon360/Menu|Master]][[User:Espeon360|.]] 07:33, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't someone mention that Leafeon and Glaceon have appeared in the anime, just not in person and that Glaceon ''will'' appear in [[DP076]]?[[User:Pkmnluvr25|'''Pkmn''']][[User talk:Pkmnluvr25|'''luvr''']][[Special:Contributions/Pkmnluvr25|'''25''']] 03:49, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

== Is it fanon? ==
Im sure the term eeveelution isnt fanon because i just seen the new Majestic Dawn advert. Its the UK one with a 3d eevee stood in the middle of some ruins looking at cards of all of it's evolutions. The advert said "Collect a new '''Eeveelution'''! It's not fanon, its official. Should I change it?[[User:David aipom|Davidaipom]] 15:18, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

:It was originally a fanon term, and hence still is, but Wizards chose to use the term for their {{TCG|Eeveelution}} theme deck, and a World Champion also named his deck the {{TCG|Eeveelutions}} theme deck. That's also the reason it's used in the Majestic Dawn advert, yes. [[User:Double Dash|Cipher]] 16:22, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

::Maybe the term "Eeveelutions" has grown in popularity to the point that it might as well be an official name. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 18:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
:::Point made. [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 05:18, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
:I think we should probably consider the term a Pokémon equivalent of what {{wp|Transformers: Generation 1|Generation 1}} is to the {{wp|Transformers}} franchise. A term started in fanon that eventually fell into official usage. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 05:22, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

== Shot in Movie 11 ==
Anyone know were one of those might be found? Serebii has one but its not especially good quality. The scene would fit with the article. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 23:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
:Thank you. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 03:21, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

i was reading the Nintendo Power Stadium 2 Guild and in the back it said Eeveelution.

''Though unlike their evolutionary cousins, they were not available early on in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, they are in fact available early on in Pokémon Platinum, even before the player has gotten the third badge.''

That's halfway correct. You can get Leafeon before the third badge, but not Glaceon. Should it be changed, or left the way it is?--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] 20:10, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

== eevee moveset? ==

anyone consider adding eevee's moveset to the template? why is it missing anyway other than the fact that it stop learning new moves at level 57? -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 05:53, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
:The first sentence: "An Eeveelution is a popular term among fans used for the current group of seven Pokémon that evolve from Eevee." It does not describe Eevee. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 18:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
::Then why is eevee listed with the gen 1 eeveelutions? -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 14:01, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

::Also, I would have liked to see Eevee's moveset in there not because it isn't or is technically an Eeveelution, but so that I can decide ''when'' a good time to evolve it would be in a convenient template. ~ [[User:Ribose|Ribose]] · [[User talk:Ribose|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Ribose|cntr]] · 04:59, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
:::I agree with Ribose.

If the movelist shouldn't be added, then the paragraph and side-template for Eevee should probably be removed for consistency (as per Pokeant). [[User:Nytik|Nytik]] 18:47, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

== Stab ==

It has BITE as a stab move for eevee. [[User:Grassman|Grass is the best]] ([[User talk:Grassman|talk]]) 01:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
: It's in bold italics which means that it will get STAB when it evolves (in this case, Umbreon).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:02, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

While having each one's individual chart is nice, what about a collective chart comparing them like the legendary trio pages have? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 03:57, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
:I like the idea. We have a moveset comparison, so why not a stat one? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:35, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
::So, looking at the legendary pages it looks like they use templates designed specifically for trios. So it seems the even Eeveelutions would need a new template for themselves. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 23:51, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

== Ninfia ==

We can add a Generation VI subsection and state that Ninfia will be available in it. Also, for the anime section we can add a bit about how all of them will be featured in the upcoming short before the next movie. And the number of Eeveelutions at the top of the page needs to be changed from seven to eight.

* During [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|III}} it was possible to have an in-game party of six consisting solely of Eevee and all its evolutions.

No, this is not possible ever since GS. In-game party is only six. In those generation you could use Eevee in one slot and all five of its then evolutions in the remaining five slots. Not possible post-Generation III because Eevee has more than 5 evolutions. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:05, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

::Yes, because that is how I worded it, and now it has been removed because the person who removed it say "isn't that possible in every game since GS?". But it has not.

:::Oh, I didn't notice the word "all" when I read and removed it. Regardless, it's not notable in my opinion.

Digifiend: /* Pokémon X and Y "Versions"? */

{{forums notice|October 1, 2013}}

== Titles missing "Version"? ==
Do the titles include "version" this time? I'm not seeing it on the official site or the trailer. I think they're just called Pokemon X and Pokemon Y now. [[User:Hheebo|Hheebo]] ([[User talk:Hheebo|talk]]) 14:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Pokémon X and Y "Versions"? ==

Is it right to be calling them Pokemon X Version and Pokemon Y version? Unlike previous games Nintendo hasn't used the word "version" when referring to them by name, just calling them Pokemon X and Pokemon Y rather than, to use the most recent example, "Pokemon Black Version 2" and "Pokemon White Version 2". The logos don't contain the word "version" either. I think they should simply be referred to as Pokemon X and Y.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Hheebo. Delete if necessary.
[[User:NFreak007|NFreak007]] ([[User talk:NFreak007|talk]]) 14:19, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

:I second this. "Versions" hasn't been mentioned at all, nor are contained in the logos. If "Versions" were in the title, there's usually a habit of saying it every time the game title comes up.

:In all of their press releases for other games in the series they use "Version," for example this excerpt from the B2W2 press release: "The successors to the acclaimed ''Pokémon Black Version'' and ''Pokémon White Version'' games, ''Pokémon Black Version 2'' and ''Pokémon White Version 2''..."

Furthermore, there is at least some evidence that these games are still titled "X Version" and "Y Version" as seen in the picture Masa posted. It seems to me like the company is merely advertising the game in this manner because this is how the fandom always refers to the games, that is, without the word "version". Furthermore, this is probably simpler since it saves them the trouble of having to write "version" in several different languages all at once (remember, this is getting an instant worldwide release, and "Pokemon" is pretty universal while "version" isn't).

==New region==
In this article it states that the new region is likely based off of France but the [[Generation VI]] page says it draws inspiration from various points within Europe. The pages should be more consistent and more neutral about the subject. [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 14:50, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
* The Nintendo Direct Trailer begins with Pikachu atop the Eiffel Tower. Unova draws from inspirations outside of the strict real world New York; it's not conflicting to say it's both based on France and draws inspiration from the rest of Europe.

== Trivia to be added, I believe... ==

A bit of trivia to be added:
*These are the first main series games to have letters in the title rather than color names.
*The game titles may be named after the X and Y axes of the [[wp:Cartesian coordinate system|Cartesian coordinations]]. ~~'''''[[User:LDEJRuff|LDE]][[User talk:LDEJRuff|JRuff]]'''''~~ 10:04, 8 January, 2013 (UTC)

To suggest the region will 'likely' be based on France seems to be speculation of the sort that the banner of the top forbids, Tokyo also has a structure like the Eiffel Tower. [[User:Alexsau1991|Alexsau1991]] ([[User talk:Alexsau1991|talk]]) 17:12, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:The streets have an European-like setting; Pikachu spread his message from a location that seemed to be the same as France; that tower looks like the Eiffel Tower and it seems to use gray instead of white and red.

::While it seems plausible, even likely. Isn't it still speculation? And why the entire region, rather than that particular city (I don't recall France having a desert, for example)?

[[User:Alexsau1991|Alexsau1991]] ([[User talk:Alexsau1991|talk]]) 17:23, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:::There's a big difference between the USA and France, the US is a massive country (in terms of size and little would be explored, if not ignoring plenty of cities). I for one think it ''may'' be based in Europe, but that city, along with that picture with the bridge remind me of the {{wp|Palace of Versailles}}.

:::::Exactly. It's really inconsistent. As an admin, it seems as if Masatoshi is going for a 'do as I say, not as I do'. You can't rule 'no speculation', then allow a piece that you favour, or personally find convincing.

::::::In the trailer, Pikachu is seen on top of the Eiffel Tower. Literally. The camera zooms out and shows it in France. Saying the region is based on France is less of speculation, and more of an observation giving readers some idea what the region looks like. Rather than explaining every tiny little detail about the location, we can just blanket sweep it by saying, "It looks a lot like France." But obviously it's NOT France, cause Pokémon regions have almost never been real locations. (Sans Kanto. Kind of.)

Then don't even get me started on Las Vegas. Pikachu is in the real life France in the intro, the girl's attire seems very French to me personally, the Pokémon team went to France for "work related reasons".

== Region is based in France ==

Besides the obvious Eiffel Tower reference, I found out that the buildings shown are reminiscent of Paris's type (which was forced as an official style there) and additionally, the place Pikachu is giving the conference is Paris.
I'm including the picture for future reference.

History of Pokémon

2013-01-09T00:48:22Z

Digifiend: /* The future of Pokémon */

{{Featured}}
:''This article is about the history of the Pokémon media franchise. For other uses of "history", see [[History]].''
----
[[File:Satoshitajiri.jpg|right|frame|Satoshi Tajiri]]The '''history of the Pokémon media franchise''' spans over two decades from when work began officially on the first game to now, and has roots even older. It started simply enough as a hobby of [[Satoshi Tajiri]], who as a child had a fondness for catching {{wp|insect}}s and {{wp|tadpole}}s near his home in suburban {{wp|Tokyo}}. Over time, Tajiri decided to put his idea of catching creatures into practice, to give children the same thrills he had as a child.

==Early days==
[[File:ShiMiy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Shigeru Miyamoto]]
With the help of [[Ken Sugimori]] and other friends, Tajiri formed [[Game Freak]] and much later the design studio known as [[Creatures, Inc.|Creatures]]. When Tajiri discovered the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Link cable|Game Boy Link Cable]], it gave him the image of insects traveling along the wire, which led to the concept for a new game called ''[[Capsule Monsters]]''. After several failed attempts at pitching this idea to [[Nintendo]], Tajiri's new friend [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched it to the company, and Nintendo began to fund the project, spending six years developing the games that would become a worldwide sensation. Due to trademarking issues, the name "Capsule Monsters" was changed to "Pocket Monsters".<ref>[http://bivio.web.fc2.com/column_poke_10th.html ポケモン10周年記念コラム]</ref>

The original artwork for the games was drawn by Tajiri's friend, artist [[Ken Sugimori]], while the music and sound effects were composed by [[Junichi Masuda]].

After debugging was completed, [[Shigeki Morimoto]] programmed {{p|Mew}} into the game. However, [[Game Freak]] planned to keep the 151st Pokémon hidden from the public unless it was needed for a post-launch event.<ref>[http://www.nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks: Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref>

The project nearly drove [[Game Freak]] to bankruptcy. Five employees quit due to the financial conditions, and Tajiri worked many unpaid hours. <ref>[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,34342-3,00.html Beware of the Pokemania]</ref>

==Generation I==
===Taking over Japan===
[[File:Pokemon_green_box_ja.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Green box art]]The first [[Pokémon games]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], came to the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy]] system in Japan on February 27th, 1996, which was the fulfillment of Satoshi Tajiri's dream and allowed people of all ages to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]], [[Pokémon training|train]] and [[trade]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 creatures}} and become a [[Pokémon Master]].

Initially, the Pokémon games had modest sales. However, after players discovered {{p|Mew}} in the games, the magazine [[CoroCoro]] announced a "Legendary Pokémon Offer" to distribute Mew to twenty entrants. The contest received 78,000 entrants, and the sales of the Pokémon games quickly increased.<ref>[http://www.nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks: Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref> Due to high sales, Pokémon Red and Green were swiftly followed up with [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], which had improved graphics and sounds.

After the games, a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was developed by Media Factory with its own set of rules. The {{TCG|Base Set|first set}} of cards was released on October 20th, 1996, containing 102 cards, and became very popular.

The franchise also won many {{pkmn|manga}} interpretations, the first being ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' by [[Kosaku Anakubo]], which was first {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|1|collected and published}} in November 1996 by [[Shogakukan]]. This was chiefly a gag manga, using crude humor and slapstick, starring a Trainer named {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his rude {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

The popularity of the franchise also led to an {{pkmn|anime}} series based on the games, [[EP001|premiering]] in Japan on April 1st, 1997. The main character was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named ''Satoshi'' (after [[Satoshi Tajiri]], later dubbed in English to [[Ash Ketchum]]), based on {{ga|Red}}. Another character introduced in the first episode was Satoshi's [[rival]], ''Shigeru'' (after [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], later dubbed in English to [[Gary Oak]]), based on {{ga|Blue}}.

The anime quickly became very popular, and soon a manga series based on it named [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] was written by [[Toshihiro Ono]]. The {{vol|Electric Tale of Pikachu|1|first volume}} of the series was first published on October 28th, 1997. The more famous manga in the western world, however, is [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{PAV|1|the first volume of which}} was first published in Japan on August 8th, 1997. This is the longest running manga in Pokémon history, as it is still ongoing today, over fourteen years later. Several other manga series were published in that era, including ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' and [[Miho Asada]]'s [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

In addition to these manga series, [[Shogakukan]] also published the first volume of ''[[Pokémon Wonderland]]'', a magazine with the latest information on the franchise, on August 23rd, 1997. They also released a new manga series named ''Pokémon PiPiPi ★ Adventures'' (later translated to ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]''), authored by [[Yumi Tsukirino]], on March 28th, 1998. The main difference in this series was that is was aimed mainly towards girls.

On April 25th, 1998, the first [[Pokémon Center (store)|''Pokémon Center'' store]] was opened in Tokyo, specializing in [[Pokémon merchandise]]. Along the way, [[The Pokémon Company]] began its operations. Many such stores were opened in later years, and today there are six different stores across Japan, as well as a subsection in the Nintendo World Store in New York.

===Conquering the world===
[[File:Ash anime.png|thumb|left|Ash Ketchum in the original series of the anime]] Due to Pokémon's success in Japan, the series was released overseas. Before the games were released in North America, the localization team attempted to change the Pokémon designs, fearing that the cute designs would not appeal to western gamers; however, the proposal was refused. <ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/taidan1/page03.html スペシャル対談／３]</ref> <ref>''"[Mr. Yamauchi] indicated that the games would be customized for western markets, a process that should include new art for many of the monsters."'' Nintendo Power 104 (January 1998) p. 38 (retrieved December 21, 2010) </ref> North America received {{2v|Red|Blue}}, as well as the anime, in September 1998 (the anime on the 7th and the games on the 30th), and soon everywhere else began to play the games on the Game Boy under the slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]''. The {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} was also introduced to North America on January 9th, 1999 by [[Wizards of the Coast]]. [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] became the first [[Pokémon manga]] to be translated to English when [[VIZ Media]] started publishing it on September 28th, 1999.

Meanwhile in Japan in 1998, a new spin-off game, {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game featured only 42 Pokémon of the full 151. This game proved to be commercially and critically unsuccessful, though its sequel, originally planned for the [[Nintendo 64DD]], {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|received an international release}}.

The {{pkmn|anime}}, on the other hand, pushed the franchise to new heights. On July 18th, 1998, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' debuted in Japanese theaters, featuring the rare {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}. In the United States, where it was released on November 10th, 1999, the movie even briefly held the record for highest-grossing opening for an animated film.

Plans soon started for a game based on the popular anime and {{v|Yellow}} was released September 12th, 1998 in Japan, October 25th, 1999 in North America and Europe. Pokémon Yellow allowed Trainers to take on the role of {{Ash}} and travel through [[Kanto]] with anime-style graphics for each Pokémon and a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] by their side, following the anime's course of events.

===Expanding to spin-offs===
On December 18th, 1998 a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|Game Boy game based on the TCG]] was released, later arriving in North America on April 10th, 2000. It was followed, only in Japan, a year later by a sequel titled {{Card GB 2}}.

The anime, as well as {{game|Yellow}}, marked {{p|Pikachu}} as the most popular and recognized creatures in Pokémon history, turning it into the franchise's mascot. This led to a small spin-off game called [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on December 12th, 1998, and in North America on November 6th, 2000. This was a virtual-pet game, utilizing the [[Nintendo 64]]'s Voice Recognition Unit to let the players interact verbally with Pikachu.

When the anime finished following the games' story with {{Ash}}'s defeat in the [[Pokémon League]] in January 1999, it [[EP081|started]] a [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|filler season]] in a new region called the [[Orange Archipelago]], introducing the new main character of [[Tracey Sketchit]]. During this season's time, a second movie, ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', was produced. It was first in Japanese theaters on July 17th, 1999, and in North American theaters on July 21st, 2000.

A non-traditional spin-off game for [[Nintendo 64]], {{g|Snap}}, was released in Japan on March 21st, 1999, inviting the player (in the role of {{Todd}}) to a Pokémon photographing mission in a place called [[Pokémon Island]]. This game made its way to North America on July 27th, 1999.

On April 14th, 1999, a spin-off pinball game for the [[Game Boy Color]] was released, called {{g|Pinball}}. This game took all the mechanics of regular pinball, with some Pokémon aspects added in. Its North American release was on June 28th, 1999.

[[File:Pokemon Live cover.png|thumb|right|''Pokémon Live!'' CD cover art]]A sequel to {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}} was also eventually released in Japan on April 30th, 1999, and became a success. This game reached North America on February 29th, 2000, and became known there as the original {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. The twist in the {{pkmn|Stadium series}} from the [[version|main series]] was that it featured the Pokémon in 3D.

In September 2000, the anime-based puzzle game {{g|Puzzle League}} was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game was the only Pokémon game to be made specifically for western audiences and not be released in Japan.

However, this was not the only American-made original Pokémon material. From 2000 to 2002, an anime-based musical called ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'' was shown on stages around the world. The most memorable plot point in the musical was the revelation that {{Ash}}'s mother, {{Delia}}, used to be a friend of {{an|Giovanni}} when they were younger. The musical isn't considered [[canon]], but it sparked endless theories among fans regarding the identity of Ash's father.

==Generation II==
===Winds of new beginnings===
[[File:JohtoII.png|thumb|left|A map of Johto]]Almost since the very beginning of the series, it had been apparent that the first 151 Pokémon would not be the last. {{p|Ho-Oh}} was seen as early as [[EP001|the first episode of the anime]], {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} was owned by a {{an|Misty|main character}}, and others like {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Donphan}} were seen in [[M01|the first movie]]. Later, when [[Generation II|the second generation]] of Pokémon was drawing nearer, others like {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Elekid}} made their way to [[M02|the second movie]].

On November 21st, 1999, Nintendo of Japan released {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for the then-new [[Game Boy Color]]. This time, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were invited to the land of [[Johto]], where {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 more Pokémon}} were waiting to be captured. The new games enhanced the Pokémon gaming experience by adding many new features, the most famous likely being the ability for Pokémon to have different [[gender]]s, in turn allowing them to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. A [[time]] system was also introduced, with a real-time clock allowing different events to happen during the day, at night, and in the morning, as well as on certain [[days of the week]]. Another important addition was the [[friendship]] system. [[Shiny Pokémon]] also first appeared, most notably a [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Trainers could also return to [[Kanto]] and face the [[Gym Leader]]s that were present in the original games. Pokémon Gold and Silver made its way to North America on October 11th, 2000.

The anime followed, of course, and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} also arrived at Johto in [[EP117|an episode]] that aired in Japan on October 14th, 1999 and in the US on October 14th, 2000. ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' was then released to theaters on July 8th, 2000 in Japan and on April 6th, 2001 in North America, featuring the legendary {{p|Entei}}.

A new trading card set called {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} featured the first Generation II Pokémon to the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. It was released in Japan on December 10, 1999 and in the United States on December 16, 2000.

A sequel to {{g|Puzzle League}} was released on September 21st, 2000 for [[Game Boy Color]], this time in Japan, titled {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}. It made its way to North America on December 4th, 2000.

On December 14th, 2000, {{g|Stadium 2|a sequel to the Stadium series was released in Japan}}, bringing the [[Generation II]] Pokémon into full 3D for the first time. This game reached North America on March 25th, 2001.

Like Pokémon Yellow, a [[Versions|third version]] was made called {{game|Crystal}}, which was released in Japan on December 14th, 2000 and in North America on July 21st, 2001. Pokémon Crystal had several notable changes from Gold and Silver. {{p|Suicune}} was the [[version mascot]] and the focus of the plot. Crystal was also the first portable Pokémon game to feature animations for every Pokémon. Trainers in Japan received the added bonus of being able to trade, battle, and even obtain the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Celebi}} wirelessly by using a cell phone to connect to the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. Trainers were also, for the first time, allowed to choose their character's [[gender]].

===Anime and manga in GS===
[[File:PokemonAdv08.png|thumb|right|Volume 8 of the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
[[File:Mewtwo Returns DVD.png|thumb|left|DVD Cover for Mewtwo Returns]] On December 30th, 2000, the first feature-length special of the Pokémon anime was released in Japan as a sequel to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', titled ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. It was later released on DVD in the United States on December 5th, 2001.

In June 2000, a {{pkmn|manga}} series by [[Muneo Saitō]] titled ''[[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]]'' was published in Japan. This manga followed the plot of the [[Generation II]] games, before abruptly ending after three volumes with very little resolution. Another new manga series by [[Takashi Teshirogi]] based on the anime's new seasons called ''[[Ash and Pikachu]]'' was published on February 26th, 2001.

Another anime movie, ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', debuted in theaters in Japan on July 7th, 2001, and in North America on October 25th, 2002. It featured two [[legendary Pokémon]] prominent in {{game|Crystal}}: {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

The [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga finally caught up to the second generation on August 8th, 2001, when {{PAV|8}} was published in Japan, starting [[Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Adventures)|a new chapter]]. This chapter was much longer than the previous chapters of the series, lasting no less than 7 full volumes. Additionally, this is the only volume to share its release date with future volumes in Japanese, being that the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|two]] [[Pokémon Adventures volume 10|after]] it were published at the same time.

{{p|Raikou}}, the only member of the [[legendary beasts]] yet to be featured in an anime movie at the time, received its own made-for-TV special, ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', on December 30th, 2001. This special didn't feature {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, but rather new characters based on the [[player character]]s of the second generation.

On July 13th, 2002, the fifth and final movie of the [[original series]], ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', was released in Japanese theaters. Distributed on limited release by [[Miramax Films]], it opened in select American theaters on May 16th, 2003.

==Generation III==
===Advancing to a new age===
[[File:EP205.png|left|thumb|The first Kecleon]]In July 2001 [[EP205|an episode]] of the anime aired in Japan featuring a Pokémon never previously seen - {{p|Kecleon}}. Soon, Kecleon and others like {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Duskull}} and {{p|Volbeat}} showed up in theaters in two [[PK10|Pikachu]] [[PK11|shorts]] while {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} were featured in [[M05|the fifth]] Pokémon movie. During the [[Silver Conference]] Ash battled {{jo|Harrison}}, a Trainer from [[Littleroot Town]] in [[Hoenn]]. [[Professor Birch]], along {{p|Poochyena|with}} {{p|Lotad|other}} {{p|Sharpedo|Pokémon}}, made a cameo in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''. Through this, it became known that the next generation of Pokémon was just around the corner.

Indeed, a major overhaul of the main game series occurred when Pokémon arrived on the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 21st, 2002 when {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} were released in Japan. Trainers found themselves in the southern land called [[Hoenn]] where {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 new Pokémon}} were waiting to be discovered. The games reached North America on March 18th 2003 and had many new features, the most prominent being [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[Double Battle]]s, Pokémon [[Ability|Abilities]] and [[nature]]s for each Pokémon, along with the reform of [[effort values]] and [[individual values]]. Also introduced in these versions were more detailed [[weather conditions]] and two new [[villainous teams]], [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to the extensive changes to the system, however, this generation was not compatible with earlier generations.

[[File:Agseries.jpg|thumb|left|A poster for the [[Advanced Generation series]] of the Pokémon anime]]The anime began a new series, {{series|Advanced Generation}}, which [[AG001|started]] in Japan on the same day as the release of the games and reached North America almost a year later. A great deal was changed in this series, including the introduction of a new main character, {{an|May}}, based on her game counterpart. Two new movies were produced during the time in [[Hoenn]]: ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (which was released on July 19th, 2003 in Japan and on June 1st, 2004 on video and DVD in North America) and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' (which was released on July 17th, 2004 in Japan and on January 22nd, 2005 on North American television).

Around the same time of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, a show called ''[[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]'' began to air weekly in Japan, focusing not on {{Ash}}, but on other characters of the anime, such as {{an|Misty}}, {{An|Brock}}, {{Tracey}}, {{Gary}}, [[Ritchie]], {{an|Casey}} and [[Sakura]]. The English dubbed version, ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', first aired in the United Kingdom in May 2005, finally dubbing ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special to English along the way, three and a half years after its original Japanese airing.

[[Nintendo]] transferred the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} license from [[Wizards of the Coast]] to itself in 2003, and released {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire|its first set}} on January 31st, introducing new game mechanics and a new card design. This set was released in North America on June 18th, 2003.

===More spin-offs===
To solve the problem of limited Pokémon storage in the continuously growing Pokémon world, {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} was released May 30, 2003 in Japan, July 11, 2004 in North America, allowing Trainers to store up to 1,500 Pokémon from their Generation III games.

A small spin-off game named {{g|Channel}} for [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] was released in Japan on July 13th, 2003. It focused on a TV-broadcasting network airing a variety of Pokémon programs, with the player playing the role of the test audience. The game also included a unique anime episode, ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''. Pokémon Channel reached North America on December 1st, 2003.

On July 28th, 2003, {{PAV|15}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga was first published, starting [[Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)|another chapter]], this one following the third generation's story. This was the first chapter in the series not to feature previously introduced characters. Other manga series, such as ''[[Ash and Pikachu]]'', have also moved into the RS era around the same time.

A sequel to {{g|Pinball}} met the third generation in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}} for [[Game Boy Advance]] on August 1st, 2003 in Japan and on August 23rd, 2003 in North America.

The ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' manga series received a third generation sequel in ''[[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]'', the {{vol|Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire|1|first volume of which}} was first released on September 25th, 2003. ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]'' has also received a sequel in the form of ''[[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]]'', first published on December 29th, 2003.

The 3D version of [[Generation III]] came in the form of {{g|Colosseum}} on November 21st, 2003 in Japan and March 22nd, 2004 in North America on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. Unlike the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], this game also featured an RPG taking place in the desolate [[region]] of [[Orre]]. The game's main addition to the growing [[Pokémon universe]] was [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===Back to Kanto and onward to the Battle Frontier===
[[File:Pokemon_FireRed_boxart_EN-US.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon FireRed Version box art]]On January 29th, 2004, two new [[version|games]] were released in Japan: {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. They arrived in North America on September 9th, 2004, and were remakes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} which brought the games up to Generation III standards, as well as adding wireless connectivity (through a [[GBA Wireless Adapter|wireless adapter]] for the Game Boy Advance) and a new region — the [[Sevii Islands]]. These games also gave the [[event Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}} [[Form differences|two additional forms]], which could only be obtained by moving Deoxys to a {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}} or {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}} cartridge.

Not yet finished with the [[Hoenn]] story, Game Freak developed a third version to complement Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, {{game|Emerald}}. This game was released in Japan on September 16, 2004, and in North America on May 1, 2005. Emerald featured the same wireless connectivity as FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as an updated version of Hoenn with many new features, including the Hoenn {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, the ability to re-battle Gym Leaders, an altered plot, and animations for all Pokémon, as in Crystal.

The {{pkmn|anime}} [[AG132|caught up]] with both the Generation I remakes and Emerald by having the group travel back to [[Kanto]] and face the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} there. During this season's time two more movies were produced: ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (premiering in Japan on July 16, 2005) and ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' (debuting in Japanese cinemas on July 15, 2006).

On August 28, 2006, {{PAV|22}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga was published, starting the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and on June 23, 2007, {{PAV|26}} started the {{chap|Emerald}}. Another short manga series called ''[[Pokémon Battle Frontier]]'' was written by [[Shigekatsu Ihara]], focusing on the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

===Original new concepts===
A spin-off racing game called {{g|Dash}} was released in Japan on December 2nd, 2004 and in North America on March 14th, 2005. It was the first of many Pokémon games made for the [[Nintendo DS]].

On August 4, 2005, Trainers were invited back to [[Orre]] in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} for the [[Nintendo GameCube|Nintendo GameCube]], a sequel to {{g|Colosseum}} taking place about five years later. This game found its way to North America on October 3, 2005.

A spin-off puzzle game, {{g|Trozei!}}, was released on October 20, 2005 in Japan and on March 6, 2006 in North America. The game had a story mode, which followed [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] as she attempted to take down the [[Phobos Battalion]].

Starting with the {{Trading Card Game}} expansion {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, which was released on October 28, 2005 in Japan and only three days later in the United States, a new special kind of Pokémon called {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} was introduced. δ Delta Species Pokémon were found only in a few TCG expansions, and were given a backstory involving a new region called [[Holon]].

[[File:Ranger_box.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Pokémon Ranger box art]]A new style of play saw light on November 17, 2005, with {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} — a pair of games, one for [[Game Boy Advance]] and one for [[Nintendo DS]] — in which the {{player}} is turned into a Pokémon. The games, released in North America on September 18th, 2006, received adaptations in the anime episode ''[[SS019]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

Another new twist on Pokémon came in the spin-off [[Nintendo DS]] game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} on March 23, 2006. This time, players didn't play as regular [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, but as {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s traveling the land of [[Fiore]] with a device called the [[Capture Styler]] instead of [[Poké Ball]]s. It was released in North America on October 30th, 2006. The game was also promoted in the anime through the appearance of Pokémon Rangers in [[AG155|the main series]], [[AG171|a special episode]] and [[M09|the ninth movie]], and in a short [[W Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger - the Comic|manga series]].

===Ten years of Pokémon===
2006 was marked officially as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Pokémon's tenth anniversary]], and was celebrated as such in many ways, such as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America|Journey Across America]]. Among other things, an English CD was released titled ''[[Pokémon X]] - 10 Years of Pokémon''.

On April 29, 2006, a special episode of the {{pkmn|anime}} called ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' was broadcast in the United States. This was the first episode to use [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s new voice actors (Pokémon USA at the time), causing big [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|controversy]] among the Pokémon fan community. The special was eventually broadcast in Japan as streaming video from the TV Tokyo ''Anitele'' web site from October 13 to October 31, 2006.

In fall 2006, another section of the Pokémon franchise was created in the form of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]] in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia, made by [[Kaiyodo]]. The figures reached North America and Japan in 2007.

==Generation IV==
===Diamond and Pearl===
[[File:Dpseries.jpg|thumb|right|A poster for the Diamond & Pearl anime series]]Just like with {{p|Kecleon}} in [[Generation III]], the public learned of [[Generation IV]] through a new Pokémon — {{p|Munchlax}} — in May of 2004. Munchlax was soon featured in {{g|Dash}}, as well as [[M07|the seventh movie]] and later [[May's Munchlax|the main anime]]. Others such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Weavile}} then made their way to [[M08|the eighth movie]], and {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}}, and {{p|Chatot}} appeared in [[M09|the ninth]], which featured {{p|Manaphy}} — a new [[legendary Pokémon]] that even became obtainable in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}.

{{2v|Diamond|Pearl}} were eventually released for [[Nintendo DS]] in Japan on September 28, 2006, and in North America on April 22, 2007. Along with {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}} in the new huge land of [[Sinnoh]], these games offered a pseudo-3D rendering of the overworld, the return of the [[time]] system, visible [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences between Pokémon]], a split between [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s, a new [[villainous team]], known as [[Team Galactic]] and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.

The anime {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[DP001|started]] in Japan and in the US in synchronization with the release of the games. Like the previous series, it introduced a new female character, {{an|Dawn}}, based on her game counterpart.

The three {{pkmn|movie}}s of this series form a continuous trilogy. The first part of the trilogy, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', premiered on July 14, 2007 in Japanese theaters, and aired on February 24, 2008 on North American televisions. The second part, ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' premiered in Japan on July 19, 2008, and aired on February 13, 2009 on North American televisions. The third and final movie of the trilogy, ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', premiered on July 18, 2009 in Japan, has aired on Cartoon Network in the United States on November 20, 2009.

A new {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl|TCG set}} was released in Japan on November 30, 2006 and in the United States on May 23, 2007, featuring the new Pokémon from [[Sinnoh]].

===New sequels===
[[File:PBRAmerican.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Pokémon Battle Revolution box art]]On December 14, 2006, two weeks after the launch of Nintendo's [[Wii]] console, [[Generation IV]] Pokémon turned 3D in the form of {{g|Battle Revolution}}. It was released in the United States on June 25, 2007.

Several manga series were written for the fourth generation. The first volume of ''{{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}}'', the new sequel of ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]'', was published in Japan on January 26th, 2007. One month later, on February 27th, [[Shigekatsu Ihara]]'s ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]'' was first published.

The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|paired sequels for]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] for [[Nintendo DS]] were released in Japan on September 13, 2007 and in North America on April 20, 2008. Just like before, [[SS020|an anime adaptation]] was also produced and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team|a manga series]] was published.

{{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s were also brought into the fourth generation in a sequel called {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, set in the new land of [[Almia]]. It was released in Japan on March 20, 2008 and in North America on November 10, 2008. An [[DP071|Anime]] [[DP072|special]] was also produced and aired on the same day as the Japanese release, and a [[Darkrai Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger Batonnage - the Comic|short manga]] was posted as a webcomic on the Japanese Pokémon website. In March 6, 2010, another Ranger game, {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}} was released in Japan. The new game set in the [[region]] of [[Oblivia]] was followed by [[SS022|several]] [[SS023|anime]] [[DP169|specials]].

Like with Pokémon Box: Ruby and Sapphire in Generation III, a storage game titled [[My Pokémon Ranch]] was released on March 25, 2008 in Japan and on June 9, 2008 in North America, featuring the character of [[Hayley]].

Another manga series, [[Miho Asada]]'s ''[[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]]'' was collected and published on March 28, 2008. [[Pokémon Adventures]] then started its {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} with {{PAV|30}} on December 25th, 2008.

The third [[version]] of [[Generation IV]], {{v|Platinum}}, was released on September 13, 2008 in Japan and on March 22, 2009 in North America, bringing new [[Form differences|Pokémon forms]] into the ring for {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Rotom}}, as well as updates similar to those found in Pokémon Emerald.

{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} was followed by a third version, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], which was released in Japan on April 18, 2009. Just like the third versions of the main series, Explorers of Sky had additional content. [[SS021|Another anime adaptation]] was produced as well. [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Another set of games]] of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series was also produced for WiiWare, released in Japan on August 4, 2009.

===Johto's Heart and Soul===
[[File:LugiaLEGENDHeartGoldSoulSilver113.jpg|thumb|150px|right|{{TCG ID|SoulSilver Collection|Lugia LEGEND|29}}]]Ever since the [[Generation III]] remakes for the incompatible [[Generation I]] {{2v2|Red|Green}} games, Pokémon fans have widely speculated that remakes of the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games, {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, would be made for [[Nintendo DS]]. Indeed, the paired remakes, titled {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, were eventually released in Japan on September 12, 2009, and were released in the United States on March 14, 2010. The games were referred to in the {{pkmn|anime}} in [[DP143|an episode]] that featured {{an|Lyra|the counterpart of the new player character}} and the three starter Pokémon of [[Johto]], {{TP|Dawn|one of whom|Quilava}} even joined the regular cast. {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver|A new expansion set}} for the TCG was also released to celebrate the new games.

A new game for the Wii: [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], was released on December 5, 2009. The game was released in North America and Europe in the spring of 2010.

==Generation V==
===A Fresh Start===
[[File:Pokemon White Boxart JP.png|thumb|left|Pokémon White box]]On February 7, 2010, [[Pokémon Sunday]] revealed a new Pokémon: {{p|Zoroark}}. [[Generation V]] was dawning, and it quickly became clear that even though the new games, {{game|Black and White|s}}, would again be on the Nintendo DS platform, everything about them would be quite new. In an unexpected move, Nintendo revealed that no old Pokémon would be available in the games until the main storyline had been completed, effectively giving both new and old Trainers in [[Unova]], a region based on the New York City metropolitan area, rather than Japan, a completely fresh experience. On September 18, 2010, when the games were released in Japan, {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|156 new Pokémon}} were introduced, making this the biggest Pokémon generation yet.

Maintaining the innovations of Generation IV, Black and White added further to the time system that had been introduced more than ten years prior, now having the [[seasons]] change, and with them, Pokémon distribution and the time of day, with days being longer during summer and shorter during winter. The sprite animation system introduced in Generation III with Emerald was also done away with, returning Pokémon sprites to a system more like that of Crystal in Generation II - though now Pokémon move throughout the battle. Pokémon Contests have disappeared completely, with [[Pokémon Musical]] taking their place, though [[moves]] and [[condition]] have no purpose in these competitions. [[Triple Battle]]s, an expansion on the Double Battle concept introduced two generations prior, made position, as well as team cohesiveness, an important part of battle.

Unlike previous paired games, which generally differed only in Pokémon distribution, and ultimately, the availability of [[version mascot|the Pokémon on the boxart]] at the conclusion of the main storyline, Black and White feature greater differences between the worlds of the opposite versions on level with those between paired and third version of earlier generations - [[Opelucid City]] in Black is highly technological, while in White it is laid-back and traditional, whereas two version-exclusive locations, [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], appear in the same location in their same-name version.

[[File:BWseries.png|thumb|right|A poster for the ''[[Best Wishes series]]'' of the Pokémon anime]]
The anime was quick to follow with a new series, {{series2|Best Wishes}}. Unlike previous generations, no Pokémon from Generation V were shown in the closing episodes of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, although the thirteenth movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark Master of Illusions]]'', featured {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} as major characters, the only Generation V Pokémon featured prior to ''Best Wishes''.

Similar to the original series, Ash's companions this time around are two Gym Leaders: {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}}. Like the games, the new series was also given a facelift. No Pokémon from previous generations (apart from [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR}}) are shown in the episodes. Longtime anime characters, including the protagonist [[Ash Ketchum]] receive an upgraded appearance, most notably in regards to their eyes.

In an unprecedented move, ''two'' movies, rather than one, were released together as [[M14|the fourteenth Pokémon movie]], though the differences between the two are much alike the differences between Black Version and White Version.

===It's a second step into Unova===
It was always anticipated that Black and White would eventually get a third version, as past generations have. Many assumed it would be called "Pokémon Grey Version". However, this time there would be sequels, and with a different plot altogether.

Sequels to Black and White, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], were released to Japan in June 2012 and came to North America, Europe and Australia in October 2012. The games feature two new forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, called Black Kyurem (Japanese: ブラックキュレム) and White Kyurem (Japanese: ホワイトキュレム), as well as new forms of the [[Kami trio]] and {{p|Keldeo}}. The games take place two years after Black and White, and many things have changed in the Unova region.

==Generation VI==
On January 8th, 2013, Nintendo simultaneously announced to the world that a new generation would be coming to the world through the Nintendo Direct system. This time, the world of Pokémon would be taking a new leap into the 3D world on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Shown during the unveiling were several new Pokémon, including three new starters. In addition, for the first time in the franchise's life, the new games would be released to most of the world on the same day.

==The future of Pokémon==
{{cleanup|section}}
{{outdated}}

The history of the Pokémon media franchise already spans two decades, and is rich with five [[generation]]s, many [[version|main series games]], [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]], a {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, four series of {{pkmn|anime}} complete with 15 {{pkmn|movie}}s, many series of {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Pokémon Live!|a musical]], and plenty of {{cat|music}}, but it is far from over.

Even though [[Generation V]] has not finished yet, it is speculated that it won't be the last one. A sixth generation of games may come in time. [[Future generations of Pokémon|New generations]] will extend the series much as the previous five have, with the Pokémon total likely falling beyond 750 if the sixth generation arrives. However, for now, only time will tell.

Digifiend: /* Trivia to be added, I believe... */

== Titles missing "Version"? ==
Do the titles include "version" this time? I'm not seeing it on the official site or the trailer. I think they're just called Pokemon X and Pokemon Y now. [[User:Hheebo|Hheebo]] ([[User talk:Hheebo|talk]]) 14:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Pokémon X and Y "Versions"? ==

Is it right to be calling them Pokemon X Version and Pokemon Y version? Unlike previous games Nintendo hasn't used the word "version" when referring to them by name, just calling them Pokemon X and Pokemon Y rather than, to use the most recent example, "Pokemon Black Version 2" and "Pokemon White Version 2". The logos don't contain the word "version" either. I think they should simply be referred to as Pokemon X and Y.

:I second this. "Versions" hasn't been mentioned at all, nor are contained in the logos. If "Versions" were in the title, there's usually a habit of saying it every time the game title comes up. It's misleading to list the article as it being called "X and Y ''Versions''" if there really isn't any facts backing that up. --[[User:Manaphy1|Manaphy1]] 16:20, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::Thirded. It should be [[Pokémon X and Y]], as I stated on [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]]'s trivia section. Please rename this page and change this article and the Generation VI one accordingly. [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 17:15, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

==New region==
In this article it states that the new region is likely based off of France but the [[Generation VI]] page says it draws inspiration from various points within Europe. The pages should be more consistent and more neutral about the subject. [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 14:50, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
* The Nintendo Direct Trailer begins with Pikachu atop the Eiffel Tower. Unova draws from inspirations outside of the strict real world New York; it's not conflicting to say it's both based on France and draws inspiration from the rest of Europe.

== Trivia to be added, I believe... ==

A bit of trivia to be added:
*These are the first main series games to have letters in the title rather than color names.
*The game titles may be named after the X and Y axes of the [[wp:Cartesian coordinate system|Cartesian coordinations]]. ~~'''''[[User:LDEJRuff|LDE]][[User talk:LDEJRuff|JRuff]]'''''~~ 10:04, 8 January, 2013 (UTC)
:Given that the Japanese logos clearly have DNA helixes in them, I think it's safe to say that they were going for genetics. Not coordinates.

:::Because the Japanese logos have DNA helixes in them so they are standing for genetics, not coordinates. It was made pretty clear by Jo. [[User:Rainbow Shifter|Rainbow Shifter]] ([[User talk:Rainbow Shifter|talk]]) 17:09, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
They're obviously named after the x and y chromosomes, not coordinates. [[User:Munlax|Munlax]] ([[User talk:Munlax|talk]]) 17:14, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

==Based off France?==
To suggest the region will 'likely' be based on France seems to be speculation of the sort that the banner of the top forbids, Tokyo also has a structure like the Eiffel Tower. [[User:Alexsau1991|Alexsau1991]] ([[User talk:Alexsau1991|talk]]) 17:12, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Digifiend: /* Pokémon X and Y "Versions"? */

== Titles missing "Version"? ==
Do the titles include "version" this time? I'm not seeing it on the official site or the trailer. I think they're just called Pokemon X and Pokemon Y now. [[User:Hheebo|Hheebo]] ([[User talk:Hheebo|talk]]) 14:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
