Dsaerno: /* Based On The Cecropia Moth */ new section

==Ulgamoth based on Mothra==
I know that if someone adds to the origin that Ulgamoth may have been inspired by {{wp|Mothra}}, it will get taken done because it is apparently just an opinion. However, the two share similarities in appearence, color scheme and the ability to use its shedding scales as weapons. I don't think this is just an "opinion", and may be a legitimate origin.

Your thoughts? - [[User:050294|050294]] 09:06, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
:I agree. I've seen that origin removed several times, and while I'm no expert on Mothra, the similarities listed seem to be quite convincing. Not to mention our current origins listed are quite unconvincing; it hardly resembles the Atlas moth, and the phrase "like a moth to a flame" doesn't seem relevant enough to be the primary origin. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 12:06, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
::It is almost certainly not "like a moth to a flame". That is an English expression, so unless a Japanese equivelent exists then Mothra is almost certainly unrelated. However, Mothra is well know popular culture in Japan, so it is a likely origin. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:45, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
To say this Pokémon is based on something in popular culture is an opinion. Regardless of how much it sounds like it's based on it, you can't say it's based on Mothra because it's an opinion. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 19:07, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
:Just like how you imagine a hydra with wings despite only Ghidorah havings wings out of the two. Pop culture references happen all the time, what makes you so sure Pokémon does not have any WHEN YOU ARE NOT GAME FREAK?! [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 19:35, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
::You aren't GameFreak either. Unless you can prove it, with physical evidence that says the Pokémon is based on this monster, it cannot be said, period. Learn the difference between fact and an opinion. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 01:20, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Unless you can prove, with physical evidence, that says the Pokémon is not based on this monster, it cannot removed either, as it is also opinion. It is a quite plausible origin and many Pokémon origins on Bulbapedia are not fact, as the majority of them have not been officially stated by Gamefreak. Almost all of them are opinionated but still plausible. Not to be rude, but you're acting a bit hypocritical. - [[User:050294|050294]] 02:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
::::doesnt work that way around here. '''you''' show us hardcore proof that it '''IS''' based on it, and then we add it. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 02:13, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::Just a question, but why allow other opinionated origins but not this? Almost every origin on Bulbapedia is opinionated so I didn't think it was that bad to add Mothra to the origins, honestly, because they are so alike it's not even funny. - [[User:050294|050294]] 02:18, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Also, just adding this: I could list the extreme similarities and references, in both appearance and pokedex data, to Mothra for evidence if you'd like. I could also do the same thing with Sazandora. - [[User:050294|050294]] 02:22, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
:first, any origin we add is backed up with evidence in some way. find one that isnt backed-up.
:second, sure, list them. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 02:25, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
::Alrighty then... The first thing to note is color scheme and physical appearence.

::http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/39/MOSURA.jpg [[image:637.png]] 
::Now, as seen in the above images, their physical appearances are very similar. They both share the white fur/fuzz on their bodies. (And yes, I've checked, no moth or butterfly that I've seen has white face fuzz like that, or silk, or whatever it is) They both have reddish/orange, "firery", colored wings. They both are based off of moths and possibly butterflies. Also, they both have the same bright blue eyes, one of Mothra's noted qualities, as they are so bright.

::Now for characteristics. For starters, Mothra draws many parallels to the Phoenix, the legendary firebird, and also can use its scales as weapons. As stated in Ulgamoth's pokedex entry: "If it becomes involved in a fight, it scatters flaming scales from its 6 wings all over the surrounding surfaces to make a sea of fire", Ulgamoth also shares the ability to use its shedding scales as weapons. While Ulgamoth may not have been directly influenced by the phoenix, it's second pokedex entry: "It is said that when the ground becomes pitch black with volcanic ash, Ulgamoth's fire takes the place of the sun." is a possible reference to them, as Phoenixes also have this trait, making it more similar to Mothra as Mothra makes subtle references to the mythological bird.

::Is this enough info? If not I will gladly add more, as there are tons more similarities between the two. - [[User:050294|050294]] 02:58, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
:::i would like to see more. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:10, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
::::I gotta side with him, the Mothra similarities are very strong here [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 03:29, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::Her ;P - [[User:050294|050294]] 03:41, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Alright!

The two's cries are also similar, as seen in these videos, though Mothra's cry is closer to the middle of its video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bhoWfC1L9k <- Mothra - Ulgamoth-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoplQuWLG5g).

http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/urugamosu-ow.png 
They both are also revered in a way. In the part of the ancient castle where you encounter Ulgamoth, as seen in the image above, a painting, or picture, of its image sits behind it and it appears to have been revered, important, or even worshipped by whoever made the castle. As for Mothra, she is a revered monster who protects all that is good and is one of the few purely heroic kaiju monsters. The people who are protected by it and its reincarnated babies (Like I said earlier, it is very similar to phoenixes) worship her and consider her a god, or perhaps a savior.

Do you need more? - [[User:050294|050294]] 03:41, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
:I think that while there's very good circumstantial evidence, references to pop-culture characters need to be explicit. References to animals (even, broadly, mythical ones like centaurs or hydras) do not--that's pretty well-understood. So I think Sketch is right in asserting that without actual textual evidence from the game (a joke or a comment) or a comment from a game designer in an interview, we're speculating to say it's based on Mothra. Or, for that matter, any other pop-culture character; if Looker got himself out of trouble with trinkets, we couldn't definitively call him MacGyver. -- '''[[User:evkl|evkl]]''' [[User_talk:evkl|(need to talk?)]] 19:29, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
::So then the origin of both Onokus and Tyranitar are wrong, as they're both apparently based on Destoroyah and Godzilla, respectively. Same thing with Rotom being based on Pulseman, as that is not stated by Nintendo and is only assumed. - [[User:050294|050294]] 22:35, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
:::All those references need to go... except Pulseman... because GameFreak made Pulseman. Hell, the Pulseman reference is obvious. Volt Tackle was Pulseman's signature move. See [[List of references to Pulseman]]. Pulseman is the one thing that is connected to Pokemon. Godzilla isn't. Sorry. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 22:46, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
::::So what if it was made by Gamefreak? It was NEVER officially stated by Gamefreak to be based on it. - [[User:050294|050294]] 22:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::This is very different. Pulseman's signature move is Volt Tackle, and then there's a Pokemon attack of the same name? That's not a coincidence. There are references to Pulseman in Pokemon. Sorry, now, this decision is final. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 23:17, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Can't it be added to Trivia that Volcarona has traits in common with Mothra, and that some believe it as a possible origin? This way, it isn't under origin until confirmed and yet also tells people that there may be another influence? Or would this cause confusion and make people try to edit the page to put it under Origin, thinking that it got under Trivia by accident? --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 22:18, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Except for smergle Is ulgamoth only non-legendary pokemon that learn move on level 100?[[User:Meearaimeng|Meearaimeng]] 10:31, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
:Its {{p|Meraruba|pre-evolution}} also learn {{m|Flare Blitz}} on lvl 100 (which seems more interesting). Aside from that I couldn't find any other pokemon with this trait. But I don't think it's notable. --[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 12:03, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

== Ulgamoth = Volcarona, official. ==

The review in the latest Official Nintendo Magazine, those who previously revealed the names of Tympole, Timburr, Chili, Cress, Striaton City and Nacrene City specifically mentions Volcarona by name. Can somebody change the page title? {{unsigned|Exterminieren}}

I don't think that the admins will move this without proof. Could you possibly take a picture of the review? (I really need to start reading it again...) [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 17:56, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Of course. http://img257.imageshack.us/i/volcarona.jpg/ [[User:Exterminieren|Exterminieren]] 18:22 (UTC)

== Magnet rise? ==

In the trivia section, it says that Volcanrona can learn magnet rise. It can't. Shouldn't someone fix that? Also, Volcanrona is the only pokemon that can learn fire dance by leveling up. Shouldn't that be included in the trivia?[[User:Fishmonk|Fishmonk]] 14:38, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:It can. Via breeding with {{p|Forretress}}. {{m|Fire Dance}} is basically its [[signature move]], it's noted on move's page and in the list of signature moves.--[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 15:16, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

== Isn't Volcarona the highest levelled non legendary Pokemon in the wild, sans Magikarp? ==

Shouldn't that be added in Trivia? I'm asking first, as the Mothra talk above is making me a bit worried about adding Trivia without asking first --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 22:16, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:Since it's sans-Magikarp, I don't think so. Magikarp is the highest leveled wild non-legendary Pokémon. We don't list second bests. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:51, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
::It's tied with {{p|Regigigas}}. Though they are different from Magikarp, as they are fixed encounters, so they are the highest leveled fixed encounters, which could be notable enough to add, but I dunno. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 20:13, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
:::However, Regigigas is legendary. Magikarp is tied with Regigigas for lowest leveled wild Pokémon. But lowest fixed encounter may indeed be notable. On the other hand, it is bordering on too many conditions ("non-legendary", "wild", and "fixed level"). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:06, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

== Location, location ==

On the game location section, it lists Volcarona's rarity as "Two". Shouldn't that be "One" or "One, Evolve" since the rarity is seperate for each version? (like for Throh it'd say "Rare (Black), Uncommon (White)?" [[User:Porygon-man|Porygon-man]] 06:06, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

== {{m|Flare Blitz}} ==

How do you get {{m|Flare Blitz}} onto Volcarona from a prior evolution? {{p|Larvesta}} doesn't learn Flare Blitz until level 100, and if I remember correctly, you can't evolve level 100 Pokémon. [[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 23:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
:Um...level it up, Larvesta learns the moves, then evolves?....[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:58, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

== What an Odd Base Stat. ==

Should it be pointed out in the article, about this...unusual situation? As Larvesta It has a Base Attack of 85 and a base Sp. Attack of 50. But when it evolves into Volcarona, Its Sp. Attack increases to 135, while its Attack *DROPS* to 60! Thats really weird! [[User:PowerPlantRaichu|PowerPlantRaichu]] 22:29, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

== What makes Volcarona a non legendary? ==

It has mythology mentioned in the dex entry, it is found at level 70 in the wild (or evolved from Larvesta which can only be obtained via eggs)... It seems that it has the makings of a legendary

If it's about the evolving and the breeding, in generation 3 they introduced legendaries with genders and in generation 4 they introduced not only a legendary that could be either male or female (Heatran), but a legendary that can breed (Manaphy), so why couldn't generation 5 introduce a legendary that evolves from another Pokemon?

Please, give me a reason OTHER than the evolving, because otherwise it's just a case of being arbitrary in my eyes, which makes no sense to me --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 06:04, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

== Based On The Cecropia Moth ==

I saw one of these moths outside today and immediately knew that it was a "Larvesta/Volcarona" moth. Surprisingly, though, Bulbapedia didn't reference it. So here I am.

The '''Battle Frontier''' (Japanese: '''バトルフロンティア''' ''Battle Frontier'') is a special post-league area featured in the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Platinum}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is similar to the Battle Frontier featured in {{game|Emerald}}, the [[Hoenn]] {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The key difference is the number of facilities and the challenges they hold.

This Frontier is found in two regions, [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]]; each region's Frontier is identical in facilities and appearance. The Sinnoh Frontier is located north of the [[Fight Area]] in the place of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Park}}. The Johto Frontier is located west of [[Olivine City]], where the {{jo|Battle Tower}} was located in {{game|Crystal}}. Access to Johto's frontier is through the [[Frontier Front]]. Each of the facilities in the Battle Frontier has a leader, the [[Frontier Brain]], who may be challenged after certain {{wp|winning streak (sports)|winning streaks}} have been made through their respective facilities. Defeating the Frontier Brains will earn the player [[commemorative print]]s.

Only two of the facilities had been featured in Pokémon games prior to the Battle Frontier's debut in Platinum. The Battle Tower and Battle Factory were both present in Emerald; the Battle Tower has been in every game since its debut in Crystal.

==Overview==
[[File:Frontier.png|frame|left|The center of the Battle Frontier, with a map showing the five battle facilities.]]

Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]] by a woman at the entrance. The Vs. Recorder keeps the amount of [[Battle Point]]s the players has. It also contains the [[commemorative print]]s obtained from the Battle Frontier. One {{pkmn|battle}} from within one of the facilities may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Record, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.

On winning through a set amount of battles in any given facility, [[Battle Points]], or BP, will be awarded, usually in small amounts, but gradually growing through each consecutive streak. Defeating the Frontier Brain of a given facility for the first time awards the silver commemorative print of that facility, while the second defeat of the same Brain gives the commemorative print a golden color. They are the equivalent of a [[badge]], and equivalent to the [[symbol]]s from [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The Frontier Brain will only appear in single battle mode. Also, defeating a Brain will always yield a 20BP reward. Battles conducted here do not award [[experience]] or [[Pokémon Dollar|money]].

There are usually three forms of challenges. The first of these challenges is the standard single battle in which the challenger must engage in seven three on three battles in a row. Winning a set of seven battles earns the player [[Battle Point]]s. The second of these challenges follows the same layout as the standard single battle but are rather conducted as [[double battles]]. Each facility also offers Multi Battles that two players can participate in, using the Nintendo DS's Wireless Connection, to increase their record. The Battle Frontier also allows players from around the world connect together using {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}, to take part in multi Battles in any of the Battle Frontier facilities. This can be done by going to the Wi-Fi Club on the base floor of any [[Pokémon Center]], and selecting the Battle Frontier function. However both players must have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and visited the Battle Frontier at least once.

The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is identical to the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It is the northernmost facility in the Battle Frontier, and has a direct path to it from the entrance. It is on a large, glass platform that elevates above all the other facilities, making it the head of the Battle Frontier. The same small boy who stands in front of the Battle Tower in {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's Battle Frontier}}, is also standing outside this one.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a simple knock-out, progressively becoming more difficult. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, their [[level]] reduced to 50. Players are not allowed to bring Pokémon with the same items here. Consumed items, such as [[Berry|Berries]], will be replaced after each battle. The player's Pokémon will also be healed completely after each battle. Players will then have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. The difficulty of battles here is based on how many rounds the player endures; the first round features fast opponents, the second round has opponent's Pokémon holding items, and starting in the third round, opponents begin to use strategic battle combinations.

There are also a number of other challenges in the Battle Tower that other facilities don't have. Multi battles can be conducted, following the format found in the other two challenges. Before the challenge begins, players can choose one among [[Riley]], [[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Mira]], and [[Marley]] as their partner, though in Platinum, they must be met in certain areas before they will appear in the Tower. Each partner specializes in a different Pokémon [[stat]], and different Pokémon. There is also another feature that allows the player to randomly download a team using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], which will then begin to appear in the player's Battle Tower challenges. One can also upload their team to the database to be downloaded by another player.

{{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Tower. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. His first lineup is filled with final evolutions, with high stats to match. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Palmer can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. He uses different Pokémon during the second match, battling with three [[legendary Pokémon]].

====Awards====
Unlike the other facilities at the Battle Frontier, the Battle Tower awards the player [[goods]] and [[ribbon]]s for meeting certain conditions. Not only are there prizes for single battle, but also for winning consecutive [[double battle]]s or multi battle in the Wi-Fi battle room.

The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''' ''Battle Factory'') is another battle venue in the Generation IV Battle Frontier, having basically the same rules as [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}'s Battle Factory. It is located on the northeast corner of the Battle Frontier. The blue building itself is like much like a factory, with exhaust fans, and pipes. There is a long, glass panel on the floor of the building that transfers information around. There are [[Poké Ball]]s containing rental Pokémon in glass storage panels inside, and there is an electronic battle ground that lights up before a battle begins. Like Hoenn's Battle Factory, it is more dedicated to research than the other facilities, and the subject of the scientists' research is the abilities of Trainers when using random Pokémon in battle.

Before entering the Battle Factory, the player will be asked to hand over their current party in exchange for rental Pokémon. The player will then be able to choose three out of six random Pokémon to rent and battle another Trainer with rental Pokémon in that round. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player continues, they will get the offer to trade one of the rental Pokémon for their opponent's rental Pokémon, but they may not see the Pokémon's status before trading. A scientist will tell the player what Pokémon their opponent will be using before every battle, but after the player progresses through consecutive battles, the scientist will tell less and less.

{{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Factory. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Thorton is subject to the same rules in the Battle Factory; he must use rental Pokémon as well, and so cannot be known until he is encountered. He could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Thorton can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Staff information====
The Battle Factory scientist staff member will hint about the next Pokémon or move the player will face. But after the player progresses through rounds, the scientist will hint less information than last round. Use the data to decide which Pokémon the player rents, and form a strategy based around it.

The '''Battle Arcade''' (Japanese: '''バトルルーレット''' ''Battle Roulette'') is a new facility located in the southeastern corner of the Battle Frontier. The building itself looks like a large tent, with articular domes, much like {{wp|Saint Basil's Cathedral}}. Inside the Arcade, it is dark with strange patterns on the walls and floors like a tent. In the stadium room, there is a large screen called the ''Game Board'' that most of the game is displayed on.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a knock-out, much like all other facilities in the Battle Frontier. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. Prior to battles, all items equipped on the Pokémon used are removed. Battles in the Battle Arcade are either 3 vs 3 (single) or 4 vs 4 (double). Upon entering, the player's Pokémon will be seen on the Game Board. The foe's Pokémon will also be seen when they enter the field.

Before a battle begins, the player must play the game board to determine the condition of the battle. The game board is a massive roulette machine that will scroll quickly through a grid of small boxes, known as ''Events''. Landing on a black box affects the player while landing on a red box affects the foe. Gray boxes, on the other hand, affect both foes. Each event will have a different effect; some may lower the opponent's HP, poison the opponent's Pokémon, or speed up the game board. The choice may affect the player's Pokémon, the opponent's, or even the field. The board may land on status ailments, weather changes, level changes, berries and more. It may even land on nothing. The status ailments appear to be based on moves with certain types. This means that {{type2|Steel}}s are immune to poisoning and {{type2|Ground}}s are immune to paralysis. Every battle is called a ''game''; for example, the first battle is known as ''Game No. 1''. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]].

{{FB|Arcade Star|Dahlia}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Arcade. She can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that Dahlia uses in her first match share common type weaknesses - {{type2|Poison}}, {{type2|Flying}}, and {{type2|Ghost}}. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Dahlia can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

The '''Battle Castle''' (Japanese: '''バトルキャッスル''' ''Battle Castle'') is another new facility located in the southwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The Battle Castle, as its name suggests, is a huge castle, with elegant furniture on the floor and sparkling jewels on the wall. There is a golden carpet from the entrance to the battle ground. In the stadium itself, [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin]], the princess of the castle, sits on her throne atop a platform, watching down on battles. Her butler, Darach, directs people to their battle, handing out prizes to people after victory.

In the Battle Castle, players must fight seven opponents in a row. Like in the Battle Arcade, all held items are removed prior to battling. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. After entering, the player will meet [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Castle Valet Darach]] in the hallway, and he will give 10 Castle Points, or CP, to the player, and will lead them to the battles.

[[File:HGSS Battle Hall.png|thumb|left|The Battle Castle in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
Castle Points are the currency within the Battle Castle — special things must be done to gain them, but they can be exchanged for certain benefits. Winning allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. Unlike other facilities in the Battle Frontier, in the Battle Castle, Pokémon will not be healed automatically after a battle.

At first, the player will be limited to what they can do with their CP, but if they save up enough, they can rank up and unlock more abilities, such as increasing the selection of items they can buy for their Pokémon, or increasing the amount of information the player can get on the opponent. After winning a battle, the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player chooses to continue, they will be able to get the chance to exchange CP for advantages. In Multi Battle mode, both players keep their own individual CP and ranks, but can also spend their CP for their teammate's Pokémon's benefit, such as buying an item that their teammate cannot currently afford.

[[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin and her valet, Darach]] are the [[Frontier Brain]]s for the Battle Castle. Darach is challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that he uses in his first match are unique. They use powerful attacks that burn and paralyze Pokémon. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. He is battled again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Receiving CP====
Castle Points or CP is used as currency in the Battle Castle. The player automatically receives 10CP on entry. Winning battles also allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. There are certain conditions the player can try to meet for more CP.

====Spending CP====
The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. This can only be done by exchanging CP earned in battles, before every battle. CP can also be used to rank up certain actions, so instead of renting the normal eight berries, the player can increase the rank to level 2 so they are able to rent 8 kinds of berries and 12 kinds of items. Some advantages can be ranked up twice to level 3 for more advantages.

The '''Battle Hall''' (Japanese: '''バトルステージ''' ''Battle Stage'') is another facility located in the northwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The stadium is a huge {{wp|catwalk}}, in where people walk down the catwalk to the battleground, while fans take a number of photos and the spotlights shine all over the place. There is also a red carpet on the floor, all the way from the entrance to the stadium.

The Battle Hall is unique from any other facility in the Battle Frontier, as there are 10 battles per round instead of the usual 7, and only one Pokémon can be used in a single battle, meaning the battles are one-on-one. Before entering the Battle Hall, the player will be asked to select one Pokémon level 30 or higher for entry. If it is a different Pokémon from last time, the attendant will warn the player that they are using a different Pokémon, as Pokémon are used in winning streaks, and if the player uses a different Pokémon, the streak will be lost.

Once the Pokémon is entered, the player will go down the runway and will have to choose from a list of types which [[type]] they want to battle. This lets players control their advantages, as they are about to choose their own type they want to battle. As the only thing known about an opponent is one of the types of their Pokémon, the game may occasionally throw a curveball, such as if a player chooses to use a {{type2|Fighting}} against their {{type2|Dark}} opponent, they may find out that the opponent is using the {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} {{p|Spiritomb}} who is immune to Fighting moves.

As the player wins against each type, that type raises in rank, causing the Pokémon of that type challenged to raise in level, making this the only facility to feature Pokémon above level 50. The opponent's Pokémon can be chosen from any one of the 17 types. Each type begins at Rank 1, and advances to the next rank when the battle is won. The ranks will go up to 10, with Ranks 8-10 having Pokémon of different types.

After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. Players must also have ten battles in a row before they are allowed to exit. If doing a Double Battle challenge, the player must enter two of the same species of Pokémon.

{{FB|Hall Matron|Argenta}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Hall. She can be challenged after 50 consecutive battles, which is unique as all other Frontier Brains can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Like {{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}}, her Pokémon are completely random, and the player can not choose the type she uses from the list. She could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Argenta can be challenged again after 170 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. The player must defeat all types at least 10 times before challenging her again and again.

====Gaining fans====
In the Battle Hall, the player will gain fans as their total record or their winning streak increases. If the player is a female, their major fan is Winston, and if the player is a male, their major fan is Serena. They can be found in the Battle Hall lobby in various locations with varying dialog. The player will also get visitors cheering them on in the lobby. If the player's total record is over 500, they will get the professor's assistant. If the record is over 1,000, the player will get [[Johanna]], and over 10,000 will get [[Professor Oak]] or [[Jasmine]].

====Raising records====
At the Battle Hall, the staff members next to the monitor will keep track of the player's total record, which is how many successive wins the player has earned with all of their Pokémon. For example, if two different Pokémon have both won 10 times, then the total record is 20. The player earn BP based on the total record.

==Other areas of interest==
===Entrance hall===
[[File:Sinnoh Battle Frontier Brain artwork.png|thumb|left|220px|Artwork of the Battle Frontier featuring the Frontier Brains]]
[[Image:Battle frontier sinnoh entrance.gif‎|thumb|right|200px|The entrance]]
The entrance hall is the entrance to the Battle Frontier from the [[Fight Area]]. Because the Battle Frontier does not have a [[Pokémon Center]], unlike {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's}}, it cannot be accessed to by {{m|Fly}}, making the entrance hall the only way to get into the Battle Frontier. Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]], by the women at the entrance. There are many women that will guide and explain venues of the Battle Frontier.

* The top left woman will explain the Battle Castle
* The top right woman will explain the Battle Arcade
* The middle left woman will explain the Battle Factory
* The middle right woman will explain the Battle Hall
* The bottom left woman will explain about the Battle Frontier itself.
* The bottom right woman will explain the Battle Tower

===Stats Judge===
In the lobby of the Battle Tower is a man who can appraise one of the player's Pokémon by looking at its stats. He considers himself a Judge of Trainer's Pokémon. He will tell the player three things about the Pokémon; about their stats, their most striking stat, and the value of their striking stat.

===Exchange Service Corner===
[[File:Battle Frontier GenIV.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Artwork of the Battle Frontier (illus. [[Midori Harada]])]]
The Exchange Service Corner is located within the center of the Battle Frontier. The player can buy various goods with [[Battle Point]]s won from the facilities. The Battle Frontier's prizes are similar to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Tower}}'s prizes. They also use [[Battle Point]]s which are won in the Frontier's various facilities. They can be bought at the stalls at the center of the Frontier. The following items are offered as prizes:

===Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner===
[[File:Scratchoff.png|thumb|right|Scratching a Pokémon Scratch-Off Card]]
The Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner is located just north of the Exchange Service Corner. Pokémon Scratch-Off is a game that can be played for 1BP. With this one BP, the player gets three different Scratch-Off Cards that could cause the player to win up to 3 items, including berries, or could leave them with nothing. Because they are a bit like {{wp|Scratchcard}}s, it is all up to chance. When the player spends the Battle Point, they will get to select 3 cards from a selection of red, blue, green, and yellow color on the touch screen. Once done, scratching mode will begin. Using the stylus, the player will have to get three Pokémon to get the particular item that is revealed under the scratch-off. As soon as the player touches any part of any of the 9 blocks, they must choose that one as one of the choices. There is an extra Pokémon on the card, a {{p|Ditto}}. If the player get a Ditto, it acts as a Wild-Card, transforming into any other Pokémon should the player manage to get two of them. There are a total of three out of twenty-three different berries to be won, and there will always be a [[Nugget]] to be won.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Platbf.PNG|right|200px|thumb|The Battle Frontier logo]]
* The Battle Frontier logo is the color code of the venues corresponding to the five battle venues and their position in the Battle Frontier.
** The color code of each of the venues corresponds approximately to the color codes of each of the five [[flavor]]s of [[Berry]] and to the types of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s.
* Due to the pairing of {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach and Lady Caitlin}}, there is an equal number of male and female Frontier Brains. This is the case with Sinnoh's [[Gym Leaders]] as well.
* Taking into consideration the effects that could hinder or help the player's Pokémon and the fact that its design is similar to Russia's {{wp|St. Basil's Cathedral}}, the Battle Arcade's Japanese name, Battle Roulette, may have been based on the term "{{wp|Russian roulette}}".
* Several of the Frontier Brains have Pokémon with moves they normally learn at a higher level. This may mean that their Pokémon also decrease in level when they are above level 50.
* All Frontier Brains with a fixed team have at least one legendary Pokémon in their party when they are battled for the gold commemorative print.
* Although Pokémon under level 30 are banned from use by the player at the Battle Hall, opponent Trainers can use Pokémon under this level.
* This Battle Frontier is the first one of its kind to appear in two separate locations in one generation.
** Also, it is the first one to appear in the mainland of one region, in this case, the Johto region.
* {{p|Rotom}}'s forms and the [[Spiky-Eared Pichu]] are the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] that aren't allowed in the Frontier.

The '''Battle Frontier''' (Japanese: '''バトルフロンティア''' ''Battle Frontier'') is a special post-league area featured in the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Platinum}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is similar to the Battle Frontier featured in {{game|Emerald}}, the [[Hoenn]] {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The key difference is the number of facilities and the challenges they hold.

This Frontier is found in two regions, [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]]; each region's Frontier is identical in facilities and appearance. The Sinnoh Frontier is located north of the [[Fight Area]] in the place of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Park}}. The Johto Frontier is located west of [[Olivine City]], where the {{jo|Battle Tower}} was located in {{game|Crystal}}. Access to Johto's frontier is through the [[Frontier Front]]. Each of the facilities in the Battle Frontier has a leader, the [[Frontier Brain]], who may be challenged after certain {{wp|winning streak (sports)|winning streaks}} have been made through their respective facilities. Defeating the Frontier Brains will earn the player [[commemorative print]]s.

Only two of the facilities had been featured in Pokémon games prior to the Battle Frontier's debut in Platinum. The Battle Tower and Battle Factory were both present in Emerald; the Battle Tower has been in every game since its debut in Crystal.
[[File:btparkmap.png|right|frame|Location of Battle Frontier in Sinnoh]]

==Overview==
[[File:Frontier.png|frame|left|The center of the Battle Frontier, with a map showing the five battle facilities.]]

Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]] by a woman at the entrance. The Vs. Recorder keeps the amount of [[Battle Point]]s the players has. It also contains the [[commemorative print]]s obtained from the Battle Frontier. One {{pkmn|battle}} from within one of the facilities may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Record, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.

On winning through a set amount of battles in any given facility, [[Battle Points]], or BP, will be awarded, usually in small amounts, but gradually growing through each consecutive streak. Defeating the Frontier Brain of a given facility for the first time awards the silver commemorative print of that facility, while the second defeat of the same Brain gives the commemorative print a golden color. They are the equivalent of a [[badge]], and equivalent to the [[symbol]]s from [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The Frontier Brain will only appear in single battle mode. Also, defeating a Brain will always yield a 20BP reward. Battles conducted here do not award [[experience]] or [[Pokémon Dollar|money]].

There are usually three forms of challenges. The first of these challenges is the standard single battle in which the challenger must engage in seven three on three battles in a row. Winning a set of seven battles earns the player [[Battle Point]]s. The second of these challenges follows the same layout as the standard single battle but are rather conducted as [[double battles]]. Each facility also offers Multi Battles that two players can participate in, using the Nintendo DS's Wireless Connection, to increase their record. The Battle Frontier also allows players from around the world connect together using {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}, to take part in multi Battles in any of the Battle Frontier facilities. This can be done by going to the Wi-Fi Club on the base floor of any [[Pokémon Center]], and selecting the Battle Frontier function. However both players must have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and visited the Battle Frontier at least once.

==Banned Pokémon==

Regardless of what challenge is taken, the following Pokémon are not allowed:

The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is identical to the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It is the northernmost facility in the Battle Frontier, and has a direct path to it from the entrance. It is on a large, glass platform that elevates above all the other facilities, making it the head of the Battle Frontier. The same small boy who stands in front of the Battle Tower in {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's Battle Frontier}}, is also standing outside this one.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a simple knock-out, progressively becoming more difficult. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, their [[level]] reduced to 50. Players are not allowed to bring Pokémon with the same items here. Consumed items, such as [[Berry|Berries]], will be replaced after each battle. The player's Pokémon will also be healed completely after each battle. Players will then have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. The difficulty of battles here is based on how many rounds the player endures; the first round features fast opponents, the second round has opponent's Pokémon holding items, and starting in the third round, opponents begin to use strategic battle combinations.

There are also a number of other challenges in the Battle Tower that other facilities don't have. Multi battles can be conducted, following the format found in the other two challenges. Before the challenge begins, players can choose one among [[Riley]], [[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Mira]], and [[Marley]] as their partner, though in Platinum, they must be met in certain areas before they will appear in the Tower. Each partner specializes in a different Pokémon [[stat]], and different Pokémon. There is also another feature that allows the player to randomly download a team using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], which will then begin to appear in the player's Battle Tower challenges. One can also upload their team to the database to be downloaded by another player.

{{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Tower. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. His first lineup is filled with final evolutions, with high stats to match. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Palmer can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. He uses different Pokémon during the second match, battling with three [[legendary Pokémon]].

====Awards====
Unlike the other facilities at the Battle Frontier, the Battle Tower awards the player [[goods]] and [[ribbon]]s for meeting certain conditions. Not only are there prizes for single battle, but also for winning consecutive [[double battle]]s or multi battle in the Wi-Fi battle room.

The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''' ''Battle Factory'') is another battle venue in the Generation IV Battle Frontier, having basically the same rules as [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}'s Battle Factory. It is located on the northeast corner of the Battle Frontier. The blue building itself is like much like a factory, with exhaust fans, and pipes. There is a long, glass panel on the floor of the building that transfers information around. There are [[Poké Ball]]s containing rental Pokémon in glass storage panels inside, and there is an electronic battle ground that lights up before a battle begins. Like Hoenn's Battle Factory, it is more dedicated to research than the other facilities, and the subject of the scientists' research is the abilities of Trainers when using random Pokémon in battle.

Before entering the Battle Factory, the player will be asked to hand over their current party in exchange for rental Pokémon. The player will then be able to choose three out of six random Pokémon to rent and battle another Trainer with rental Pokémon in that round. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player continues, they will get the offer to trade one of the rental Pokémon for their opponent's rental Pokémon, but they may not see the Pokémon's status before trading. A scientist will tell the player what Pokémon their opponent will be using before every battle, but after the player progresses through consecutive battles, the scientist will tell less and less.

{{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Factory. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Thorton is subject to the same rules in the Battle Factory; he must use rental Pokémon as well, and so cannot be known until he is encountered. He could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Thorton can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Staff information====
The Battle Factory scientist staff member will hint about the next Pokémon or move the player will face. But after the player progresses through rounds, the scientist will hint less information than last round. Use the data to decide which Pokémon the player rents, and form a strategy based around it.

The '''Battle Arcade''' (Japanese: '''バトルルーレット''' ''Battle Roulette'') is a new facility located in the southeastern corner of the Battle Frontier. The building itself looks like a large tent, with articular domes, much like {{wp|Saint Basil's Cathedral}}. Inside the Arcade, it is dark with strange patterns on the walls and floors like a tent. In the stadium room, there is a large screen called the ''Game Board'' that most of the game is displayed on.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a knock-out, much like all other facilities in the Battle Frontier. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. Prior to battles, all items equipped on the Pokémon used are removed. Battles in the Battle Arcade are either 3 vs 3 (single) or 4 vs 4 (double). Upon entering, the player's Pokémon will be seen on the Game Board. The foe's Pokémon will also be seen when they enter the field.

Before a battle begins, the player must play the game board to determine the condition of the battle. The game board is a massive roulette machine that will scroll quickly through a grid of small boxes, known as ''Events''. Landing on a black box affects the player while landing on a red box affects the foe. Gray boxes, on the other hand, affect both foes. Each event will have a different effect; some may lower the opponent's HP, poison the opponent's Pokémon, or speed up the game board. The choice may affect the player's Pokémon, the opponent's, or even the field. The board may land on status ailments, weather changes, level changes, berries and more. It may even land on nothing. The status ailments appear to be based on moves with certain types. This means that {{type2|Steel}}s are immune to poisoning and {{type2|Ground}}s are immune to paralysis. Every battle is called a ''game''; for example, the first battle is known as ''Game No. 1''. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]].

{{FB|Arcade Star|Dahlia}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Arcade. She can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that Dahlia uses in her first match share common type weaknesses - {{type2|Poison}}, {{type2|Flying}}, and {{type2|Ghost}}. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Dahlia can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

The '''Battle Castle''' (Japanese: '''バトルキャッスル''' ''Battle Castle'') is another new facility located in the southwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The Battle Castle, as its name suggests, is a huge castle, with elegant furniture on the floor and sparkling jewels on the wall. There is a golden carpet from the entrance to the battle ground. In the stadium itself, [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin]], the princess of the castle, sits on her throne atop a platform, watching down on battles. Her butler, Darach, directs people to their battle, handing out prizes to people after victory.

In the Battle Castle, players must fight seven opponents in a row. Like in the Battle Arcade, all held items are removed prior to battling. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. After entering, the player will meet [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Castle Valet Darach]] in the hallway, and he will give 10 Castle Points, or CP, to the player, and will lead them to the battles.

[[File:HGSS Battle Hall.png|thumb|left|The Battle Castle in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
Castle Points are the currency within the Battle Castle — special things must be done to gain them, but they can be exchanged for certain benefits. Winning allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. Unlike other facilities in the Battle Frontier, in the Battle Castle, Pokémon will not be healed automatically after a battle.

At first, the player will be limited to what they can do with their CP, but if they save up enough, they can rank up and unlock more abilities, such as increasing the selection of items they can buy for their Pokémon, or increasing the amount of information the player can get on the opponent. After winning a battle, the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player chooses to continue, they will be able to get the chance to exchange CP for advantages. In Multi Battle mode, both players keep their own individual CP and ranks, but can also spend their CP for their teammate's Pokémon's benefit, such as buying an item that their teammate cannot currently afford.

[[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin and her valet, Darach]] are the [[Frontier Brain]]s for the Battle Castle. Darach is challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that he uses in his first match are unique. They use powerful attacks that burn and paralyze Pokémon. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. He is battled again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Receiving CP====
Castle Points or CP is used as currency in the Battle Castle. The player automatically receives 10CP on entry. Winning battles also allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. There are certain conditions the player can try to meet for more CP.

====Spending CP====
The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. This can only be done by exchanging CP earned in battles, before every battle. CP can also be used to rank up certain actions, so instead of renting the normal eight berries, the player can increase the rank to level 2 so they are able to rent 8 kinds of berries and 12 kinds of items. Some advantages can be ranked up twice to level 3 for more advantages.

The '''Battle Hall''' (Japanese: '''バトルステージ''' ''Battle Stage'') is another facility located in the northwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The stadium is a huge {{wp|catwalk}}, in where people walk down the catwalk to the battleground, while fans take a number of photos and the spotlights shine all over the place. There is also a red carpet on the floor, all the way from the entrance to the stadium.

The Battle Hall is unique from any other facility in the Battle Frontier, as there are 10 battles per round instead of the usual 7, and only one Pokémon can be used in a single battle, meaning the battles are one-on-one. Before entering the Battle Hall, the player will be asked to select one Pokémon level 30 or higher for entry. If it is a different Pokémon from last time, the attendant will warn the player that they are using a different Pokémon, as Pokémon are used in winning streaks, and if the player uses a different Pokémon, the streak will be lost.

Once the Pokémon is entered, the player will go down the runway and will have to choose from a list of types which [[type]] they want to battle. This lets players control their advantages, as they are about to choose their own type they want to battle. As the only thing known about an opponent is one of the types of their Pokémon, the game may occasionally throw a curveball, such as if a player chooses to use a {{type2|Fighting}} against their {{type2|Dark}} opponent, they may find out that the opponent is using the {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} {{p|Spiritomb}} who is immune to Fighting moves.

As the player wins against each type, that type raises in rank, causing the Pokémon of that type challenged to raise in level, making this the only facility to feature Pokémon above level 50. The opponent's Pokémon can be chosen from any one of the 17 types. Each type begins at Rank 1, and advances to the next rank when the battle is won. The ranks will go up to 10, with Ranks 8-10 having Pokémon of different types.

After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. Players must also have ten battles in a row before they are allowed to exit. If doing a Double Battle challenge, the player must enter two of the same species of Pokémon.

{{FB|Hall Matron|Argenta}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Hall. She can be challenged after 50 consecutive battles, which is unique as all other Frontier Brains can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Like {{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}}, her Pokémon are completely random, and the player can not choose the type she uses from the list. She could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Argenta can be challenged again after 170 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. The player must defeat all types at least 10 times before challenging her again and again.

====Gaining fans====
In the Battle Hall, the player will gain fans as their total record or their winning streak increases. If the player is a female, their major fan is Winston, and if the player is a male, their major fan is Serena. They can be found in the Battle Hall lobby in various locations with varying dialog. The player will also get visitors cheering them on in the lobby. If the player's total record is over 500, they will get the professor's assistant. If the record is over 1,000, the player will get [[Johanna]], and over 10,000 will get [[Professor Oak]] or [[Jasmine]].

====Raising records====
At the Battle Hall, the staff members next to the monitor will keep track of the player's total record, which is how many successive wins the player has earned with all of their Pokémon. For example, if two different Pokémon have both won 10 times, then the total record is 20. The player earn BP based on the total record.

===Entrance hall===
[[File:Sinnoh Battle Frontier Brain artwork.png|thumb|left|220px|Artwork of the Battle Frontier featuring the Frontier Brains]]
[[Image:Battle frontier sinnoh entrance.gif‎|thumb|right|200px|The entrance]]
The entrance hall is the entrance to the Battle Frontier from the [[Fight Area]]. Because the Battle Frontier does not have a [[Pokémon Center]], unlike {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's}}, it cannot be accessed to by {{m|Fly}}, making the entrance hall the only way to get into the Battle Frontier. Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]], by the women at the entrance. There are many women that will guide and explain venues of the Battle Frontier.

* The top left woman will explain the Battle Castle
* The top right woman will explain the Battle Arcade
* The middle left woman will explain the Battle Factory
* The middle right woman will explain the Battle Hall
* The bottom left woman will explain about the Battle Frontier itself.
* The bottom right woman will explain the Battle Tower

===Stats Judge===
In the lobby of the Battle Tower is a man who can appraise one of the player's Pokémon by looking at its stats. He considers himself a Judge of Trainer's Pokémon. He will tell the player three things about the Pokémon; about their stats, their most striking stat, and the value of their striking stat.

===Exchange Service Corner===
[[File:Battle Frontier GenIV.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Artwork of the Battle Frontier (illus. [[Midori Harada]])]]
The Exchange Service Corner is located within the center of the Battle Frontier. The player can buy various goods with [[Battle Point]]s won from the facilities. The Battle Frontier's prizes are similar to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Tower}}'s prizes. They also use [[Battle Point]]s which are won in the Frontier's various facilities. They can be bought at the stalls at the center of the Frontier. The following items are offered as prizes:

===Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner===
[[File:Scratchoff.png|thumb|right|Scratching a Pokémon Scratch-Off Card]]
The Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner is located just north of the Exchange Service Corner. Pokémon Scratch-Off is a game that can be played for 1BP. With this one BP, the player gets three different Scratch-Off Cards that could cause the player to win up to 3 items, including berries, or could leave them with nothing. Because they are a bit like {{wp|Scratchcard}}s, it is all up to chance. When the player spends the Battle Point, they will get to select 3 cards from a selection of red, blue, green, and yellow color on the touch screen. Once done, scratching mode will begin. Using the stylus, the player will have to get three Pokémon to get the particular item that is revealed under the scratch-off. As soon as the player touches any part of any of the 9 blocks, they must choose that one as one of the choices. There is an extra Pokémon on the card, a {{p|Ditto}}. If the player get a Ditto, it acts as a Wild-Card, transforming into any other Pokémon should the player manage to get two of them. There are a total of three out of twenty-three different berries to be won, and there will always be a [[Nugget]] to be won.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Platbf.PNG|right|200px|thumb|The Battle Frontier logo]]
* The Battle Frontier logo is the color code of the venues corresponding to the five battle venues and their position in the Battle Frontier.
** The color code of each of the venues corresponds approximately to the color codes of each of the five [[flavor]]s of [[Berry]] and to the types of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s.
* Due to the pairing of {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach and Lady Caitlin}}, there is an equal number of male and female Frontier Brains. This is the case with Sinnoh's [[Gym Leaders]] as well.
* Taking into consideration the effects that could hinder or help the player's Pokémon and the fact that its design is similar to Russia's {{wp|St. Basil's Cathedral}}, the Battle Arcade's Japanese name, Battle Roulette, may have been based on the term "{{wp|Russian roulette}}".
* Several of the Frontier Brains have Pokémon with moves they normally learn at a higher level. This may mean that their Pokémon also decrease in level when they are above level 50.
* All Frontier Brains with a fixed team have at least one legendary Pokémon in their party when they are battled for the gold commemorative print.
* Although Pokémon under level 30 are banned from use by the player at the Battle Hall, opponent Trainers can use Pokémon under this level.
* This Battle Frontier is the first one of its kind to appear in two separate locations in one generation.
** Also, it is the first one to appear in the mainland of one region, in this case, the Johto region.
* {{p|Rotom}}'s forms and the [[Spiky-Eared Pichu]] are the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] that aren't allowed in the Frontier.

The '''Battle Frontier''' (Japanese: '''バトルフロンティア''' ''Battle Frontier'') is a special post-league area featured in the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Platinum}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is similar to the Battle Frontier featured in {{game|Emerald}}, the [[Hoenn]] {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The key difference is the number of facilities and the challenges they hold.

This Frontier is found in two regions, [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]]; each region's Frontier is identical in facilities and appearance. The Sinnoh Frontier is located north of the [[Fight Area]] in the place of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Park}}. The Johto Frontier is located west of [[Olivine City]], where the {{jo|Battle Tower}} was located in {{game|Crystal}}. Access to Johto's frontier is through the [[Frontier Front]]. Each of the facilities in the Battle Frontier has a leader, the [[Frontier Brain]], who may be challenged after certain {{wp|winning streak (sports)|winning streaks}} have been made through their respective facilities. Defeating the Frontier Brains will earn the player [[commemorative print]]s.

Only two of the facilities had been featured in Pokémon games prior to the Battle Frontier's debut in Platinum. The Battle Tower and Battle Factory were both present in Emerald; the Battle Tower has been in every game since its debut in Crystal.
[[File:btparkmap.png|right|frame|Location of Battle Frontier in Sinnoh]]

==Overview==
[[File:Frontier.png|frame|left|The center of the Battle Frontier, with a map showing the five battle facilities.]]

Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]] by a woman at the entrance. The Vs. Recorder keeps the amount of [[Battle Point]]s the players has. It also contains the [[commemorative print]]s obtained from the Battle Frontier. One {{pkmn|battle}} from within one of the facilities may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Record, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.

On winning through a set amount of battles in any given facility, [[Battle Points]], or BP, will be awarded, usually in small amounts, but gradually growing through each consecutive streak. Defeating the Frontier Brain of a given facility for the first time awards the silver commemorative print of that facility, while the second defeat of the same Brain gives the commemorative print a golden color. They are the equivalent of a [[badge]], and equivalent to the [[symbol]]s from [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The Frontier Brain will only appear in single battle mode. Also, defeating a Brain will always yield a 20BP reward. Battles conducted here do not award [[experience]] or [[Pokémon Dollar|money]].

There are usually three forms of challenges. The first of these challenges is the standard single battle in which the challenger must engage in seven three on three battles in a row. Winning a set of seven battles earns the player [[Battle Point]]s. The second of these challenges follows the same layout as the standard single battle but are rather conducted as [[double battles]]. Each facility also offers Multi Battles that two players can participate in, using the Nintendo DS's Wireless Connection, to increase their record. The Battle Frontier also allows players from around the world connect together using {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}, to take part in multi Battles in any of the Battle Frontier facilities. This can be done by going to the Wi-Fi Club on the base floor of any [[Pokémon Center]], and selecting the Battle Frontier function. However both players must have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and visited the Battle Frontier at least once.

==Banned Pokémon==

Regardless of what challenge is taken, the following Pokémon are not allowed:

The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is identical to the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It is the northernmost facility in the Battle Frontier, and has a direct path to it from the entrance. It is on a large, glass platform that elevates above all the other facilities, making it the head of the Battle Frontier. The same small boy who stands in front of the Battle Tower in {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's Battle Frontier}}, is also standing outside this one.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a simple knock-out, progressively becoming more difficult. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, their [[level]] reduced to 50. Players are not allowed to bring Pokémon with the same items here. Consumed items, such as [[Berry|Berries]], will be replaced after each battle. The player's Pokémon will also be healed completely after each battle. Players will then have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. The difficulty of battles here is based on how many rounds the player endures; the first round features fast opponents, the second round has opponent's Pokémon holding items, and starting in the third round, opponents begin to use strategic battle combinations.

There are also a number of other challenges in the Battle Tower that other facilities don't have. Multi battles can be conducted, following the format found in the other two challenges. Before the challenge begins, players can choose one among [[Riley]], [[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Mira]], and [[Marley]] as their partner, though in Platinum, they must be met in certain areas before they will appear in the Tower. Each partner specializes in a different Pokémon [[stat]], and different Pokémon. There is also another feature that allows the player to randomly download a team using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], which will then begin to appear in the player's Battle Tower challenges. One can also upload their team to the database to be downloaded by another player.

{{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Tower. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. His first lineup is filled with final evolutions, with high stats to match. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Palmer can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. He uses different Pokémon during the second match, battling with three [[legendary Pokémon]].

====Awards====
Unlike the other facilities at the Battle Frontier, the Battle Tower awards the player [[goods]] and [[ribbon]]s for meeting certain conditions. Not only are there prizes for single battle, but also for winning consecutive [[double battle]]s or multi battle in the Wi-Fi battle room.

The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''' ''Battle Factory'') is another battle venue in the Generation IV Battle Frontier, having basically the same rules as [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}'s Battle Factory. It is located on the northeast corner of the Battle Frontier. The blue building itself is like much like a factory, with exhaust fans, and pipes. There is a long, glass panel on the floor of the building that transfers information around. There are [[Poké Ball]]s containing rental Pokémon in glass storage panels inside, and there is an electronic battle ground that lights up before a battle begins. Like Hoenn's Battle Factory, it is more dedicated to research than the other facilities, and the subject of the scientists' research is the abilities of Trainers when using random Pokémon in battle.

Before entering the Battle Factory, the player will be asked to hand over their current party in exchange for rental Pokémon. The player will then be able to choose three out of six random Pokémon to rent and battle another Trainer with rental Pokémon in that round. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player continues, they will get the offer to trade one of the rental Pokémon for their opponent's rental Pokémon, but they may not see the Pokémon's status before trading. A scientist will tell the player what Pokémon their opponent will be using before every battle, but after the player progresses through consecutive battles, the scientist will tell less and less.

{{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Factory. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Thorton is subject to the same rules in the Battle Factory; he must use rental Pokémon as well, and so cannot be known until he is encountered. He could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Thorton can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Staff information====
The Battle Factory scientist staff member will hint about the next Pokémon or move the player will face. But after the player progresses through rounds, the scientist will hint less information than last round. Use the data to decide which Pokémon the player rents, and form a strategy based around it.

The '''Battle Arcade''' (Japanese: '''バトルルーレット''' ''Battle Roulette'') is a new facility located in the southeastern corner of the Battle Frontier. The building itself looks like a large tent, with articular domes, much like {{wp|Saint Basil's Cathedral}}. Inside the Arcade, it is dark with strange patterns on the walls and floors like a tent. In the stadium room, there is a large screen called the ''Game Board'' that most of the game is displayed on.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a knock-out, much like all other facilities in the Battle Frontier. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. Prior to battles, all items equipped on the Pokémon used are removed. Battles in the Battle Arcade are either 3 vs 3 (single) or 4 vs 4 (double). Upon entering, the player's Pokémon will be seen on the Game Board. The foe's Pokémon will also be seen when they enter the field.

Before a battle begins, the player must play the game board to determine the condition of the battle. The game board is a massive roulette machine that will scroll quickly through a grid of small boxes, known as ''Events''. Landing on a black box affects the player while landing on a red box affects the foe. Gray boxes, on the other hand, affect both foes. Each event will have a different effect; some may lower the opponent's HP, poison the opponent's Pokémon, or speed up the game board. The choice may affect the player's Pokémon, the opponent's, or even the field. The board may land on status ailments, weather changes, level changes, berries and more. It may even land on nothing. The status ailments appear to be based on moves with certain types. This means that {{type2|Steel}}s are immune to poisoning and {{type2|Ground}}s are immune to paralysis. Every battle is called a ''game''; for example, the first battle is known as ''Game No. 1''. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]].

{{FB|Arcade Star|Dahlia}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Arcade. She can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that Dahlia uses in her first match share common type weaknesses - {{type2|Poison}}, {{type2|Flying}}, and {{type2|Ghost}}. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Dahlia can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

The '''Battle Castle''' (Japanese: '''バトルキャッスル''' ''Battle Castle'') is another new facility located in the southwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The Battle Castle, as its name suggests, is a huge castle, with elegant furniture on the floor and sparkling jewels on the wall. There is a golden carpet from the entrance to the battle ground. In the stadium itself, [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin]], the princess of the castle, sits on her throne atop a platform, watching down on battles. Her butler, Darach, directs people to their battle, handing out prizes to people after victory.

In the Battle Castle, players must fight seven opponents in a row. Like in the Battle Arcade, all held items are removed prior to battling. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. After entering, the player will meet [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Castle Valet Darach]] in the hallway, and he will give 10 Castle Points, or CP, to the player, and will lead them to the battles.

[[File:HGSS Battle Hall.png|thumb|left|The Battle Castle in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
Castle Points are the currency within the Battle Castle — special things must be done to gain them, but they can be exchanged for certain benefits. Winning allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. Unlike other facilities in the Battle Frontier, in the Battle Castle, Pokémon will not be healed automatically after a battle.

At first, the player will be limited to what they can do with their CP, but if they save up enough, they can rank up and unlock more abilities, such as increasing the selection of items they can buy for their Pokémon, or increasing the amount of information the player can get on the opponent. After winning a battle, the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player chooses to continue, they will be able to get the chance to exchange CP for advantages. In Multi Battle mode, both players keep their own individual CP and ranks, but can also spend their CP for their teammate's Pokémon's benefit, such as buying an item that their teammate cannot currently afford.

[[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin and her valet, Darach]] are the [[Frontier Brain]]s for the Battle Castle. Darach is challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that he uses in his first match are unique. They use powerful attacks that burn and paralyze Pokémon. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. He is battled again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Receiving CP====
Castle Points or CP is used as currency in the Battle Castle. The player automatically receives 10CP on entry. Winning battles also allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. There are certain conditions the player can try to meet for more CP.

====Spending CP====
The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. This can only be done by exchanging CP earned in battles, before every battle. CP can also be used to rank up certain actions, so instead of renting the normal eight berries, the player can increase the rank to level 2 so they are able to rent 8 kinds of berries and 12 kinds of items. Some advantages can be ranked up twice to level 3 for more advantages.

The '''Battle Hall''' (Japanese: '''バトルステージ''' ''Battle Stage'') is another facility located in the northwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The stadium is a huge {{wp|catwalk}}, in where people walk down the catwalk to the battleground, while fans take a number of photos and the spotlights shine all over the place. There is also a red carpet on the floor, all the way from the entrance to the stadium.

The Battle Hall is unique from any other facility in the Battle Frontier, as there are 10 battles per round instead of the usual 7, and only one Pokémon can be used in a single battle, meaning the battles are one-on-one. Before entering the Battle Hall, the player will be asked to select one Pokémon level 30 or higher for entry. If it is a different Pokémon from last time, the attendant will warn the player that they are using a different Pokémon, as Pokémon are used in winning streaks, and if the player uses a different Pokémon, the streak will be lost.

Once the Pokémon is entered, the player will go down the runway and will have to choose from a list of types which [[type]] they want to battle. This lets players control their advantages, as they are about to choose their own type they want to battle. As the only thing known about an opponent is one of the types of their Pokémon, the game may occasionally throw a curveball, such as if a player chooses to use a {{type2|Fighting}} against their {{type2|Dark}} opponent, they may find out that the opponent is using the {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} {{p|Spiritomb}} who is immune to Fighting moves.

As the player wins against each type, that type raises in rank, causing the Pokémon of that type challenged to raise in level, making this the only facility to feature Pokémon above level 50. The opponent's Pokémon can be chosen from any one of the 17 types. Each type begins at Rank 1, and advances to the next rank when the battle is won. The ranks will go up to 10, with Ranks 8-10 having Pokémon of different types.

After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. Players must also have ten battles in a row before they are allowed to exit. If doing a Double Battle challenge, the player must enter two of the same species of Pokémon.

{{FB|Hall Matron|Argenta}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Hall. She can be challenged after 50 consecutive battles, which is unique as all other Frontier Brains can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Like {{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}}, her Pokémon are completely random, and the player can not choose the type she uses from the list. She could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Argenta can be challenged again after 170 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. The player must defeat all types at least 10 times before challenging her again and again.

====Gaining fans====
In the Battle Hall, the player will gain fans as their total record or their winning streak increases. If the player is a female, their major fan is Winston, and if the player is a male, their major fan is Serena. They can be found in the Battle Hall lobby in various locations with varying dialog. The player will also get visitors cheering them on in the lobby. If the player's total record is over 500, they will get the professor's assistant. If the record is over 1,000, the player will get [[Johanna]], and over 10,000 will get [[Professor Oak]] or [[Jasmine]].

====Raising records====
At the Battle Hall, the staff members next to the monitor will keep track of the player's total record, which is how many successive wins the player has earned with all of their Pokémon. For example, if two different Pokémon have both won 10 times, then the total record is 20. The player earn BP based on the total record.

===Entrance hall===
[[File:Sinnoh Battle Frontier Brain artwork.png|thumb|left|220px|Artwork of the Battle Frontier featuring the Frontier Brains]]
[[Image:Battle frontier sinnoh entrance.gif‎|thumb|right|200px|The entrance]]
The entrance hall is the entrance to the Battle Frontier from the [[Fight Area]]. Because the Battle Frontier does not have a [[Pokémon Center]], unlike {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's}}, it cannot be accessed to by {{m|Fly}}, making the entrance hall the only way to get into the Battle Frontier. Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]], by the women at the entrance. There are many women that will guide and explain venues of the Battle Frontier.

* The top left woman will explain the Battle Castle
* The top right woman will explain the Battle Arcade
* The middle left woman will explain the Battle Factory
* The middle right woman will explain the Battle Hall
* The bottom left woman will explain about the Battle Frontier itself.
* The bottom right woman will explain the Battle Tower

===Stats Judge===
In the lobby of the Battle Tower is a man who can appraise one of the player's Pokémon by looking at its stats. He considers himself a Judge of Trainer's Pokémon. He will tell the player three things about the Pokémon; about their stats, their most striking stat, and the value of their striking stat.

===Exchange Service Corner===
[[File:Battle Frontier GenIV.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Artwork of the Battle Frontier (illus. [[Midori Harada]])]]
The Exchange Service Corner is located within the center of the Battle Frontier. The player can buy various goods with [[Battle Point]]s won from the facilities. The Battle Frontier's prizes are similar to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Tower}}'s prizes. They also use [[Battle Point]]s which are won in the Frontier's various facilities. They can be bought at the stalls at the center of the Frontier. The following items are offered as prizes:

===Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner===
[[File:Scratchoff.png|thumb|right|Scratching a Pokémon Scratch-Off Card]]
The Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner is located just north of the Exchange Service Corner. Pokémon Scratch-Off is a game that can be played for 1BP. With this one BP, the player gets three different Scratch-Off Cards that could cause the player to win up to 3 items, including berries, or could leave them with nothing. Because they are a bit like {{wp|Scratchcard}}s, it is all up to chance. When the player spends the Battle Point, they will get to select 3 cards from a selection of red, blue, green, and yellow color on the touch screen. Once done, scratching mode will begin. Using the stylus, the player will have to get three Pokémon to get the particular item that is revealed under the scratch-off. As soon as the player touches any part of any of the 9 blocks, they must choose that one as one of the choices. There is an extra Pokémon on the card, a {{p|Ditto}}. If the player get a Ditto, it acts as a Wild-Card, transforming into any other Pokémon should the player manage to get two of them. There are a total of three out of twenty-three different berries to be won, and there will always be a [[Nugget]] to be won.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Platbf.PNG|right|200px|thumb|The Battle Frontier logo]]
* The Battle Frontier logo is the color code of the venues corresponding to the five battle venues and their position in the Battle Frontier.
** The color code of each of the venues corresponds approximately to the color codes of each of the five [[flavor]]s of [[Berry]] and to the types of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s.
* Due to the pairing of {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach and Lady Caitlin}}, there is an equal number of male and female Frontier Brains. This is the case with Sinnoh's [[Gym Leaders]] as well.
* Taking into consideration the effects that could hinder or help the player's Pokémon and the fact that its design is similar to Russia's {{wp|St. Basil's Cathedral}}, the Battle Arcade's Japanese name, Battle Roulette, may have been based on the term "{{wp|Russian roulette}}".
* Several of the Frontier Brains have Pokémon with moves they normally learn at a higher level. This may mean that their Pokémon also decrease in level when they are above level 50.
* All Frontier Brains with a fixed team have at least one legendary Pokémon in their party when they are battled for the gold commemorative print.
* Although Pokémon under level 30 are banned from use by the player at the Battle Hall, opponent Trainers can use Pokémon under this level.
* This Battle Frontier is the first one of its kind to appear in two separate locations in one generation.
** Also, it is the first one to appear in the mainland of one region, in this case, the Johto region.
* {{p|Rotom}}'s forms and the [[Spiky-Eared Pichu]] are the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] that aren't allowed in the Frontier.

Pikachu's Beach

2009-07-22T18:24:06Z

Dsaerno:

[[File:surfing_pika_beach.png|200px|right|thumb]]
'''Pikachu's Beach''' is a minigame exclusive to {{g|Yellow Version}}. If the player brings a {{m|Surf}}ing {{p|Pikachu}} to the man in the only house on [[Route 19]], Pikachu's Beach can be played. In all other Pokémon games, this house does not exist. A common way to obtain a Surfing Pikachu is to transfer one from Pokémon Stadium, though other methods exist.

The goal of the minigame is to score as many points as possible. The player controls [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] using the Control Pad. As Pikachu is launched over a wave, the left and right buttons can be pressed to cause Pikachu to flip. One flip grants Pikachu 50 points and two or more flips 150 points. The HP counter in the lower right corner acts as a timer and is continually decreasing. HP is also lost if Pikachu lands incorrectly. Opposite this is a progress bar that shows how far Pikachu is from shore.

When the game is over, Pikachu is scored based on the remaining HP and Radness (the points gained from flips). The high score is saved and can be recalled anytime by talking to the machine in the man's house on Route 19. The [[Game Boy Printer]] can be used to print out the high score as well.

==Trivia==
* This game was referenced in the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''.

'''Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America''' is a series of events that was held across the United States in 2006 celebrating the 10th anniversary of [[Pokémon|Pokémon's]] original Japanese release. At the event, attendees could see a preview of [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]], and download over twenty 10th anniversary Pokémon for the [[Generation III]] [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] games. Each event also held a GBA tournament, the winners of which could move on to a national event in New York City. The grand prize for this event was a diamond-encrusted [[Nintendo DS]]. The events also featured [[TCG]] areas, as well as people wearing large Pokémon costumes.

Valuable item

2009-02-18T18:27:08Z

Dsaerno: contains detailed information -- stub status removed

A '''valuable item''' is an [[item]] which generally serves no practical purpose, but can be sold at [[Poké Mart]]s, usually for a high price. In [[Generation II]], it is possible to buy some of these items (but only one of each per day) on a specific day and time in the [[Underground Path (Goldenrod)|Underground Path of Goldenrod City]].

==List of valuable items==
===[[Image:Nugget sprite.png]] Nugget===
This is the original valuable item, introduced in [[Generation I]]. It can be sold for {{PDollar}}5000, making it the most valuable of the items in this list. It can be found in fields, caves and buildings, or given to the player for completing a quest or as a gift (for example, the Nugget Bridge in [[Cerulean City]]). They can also be found attached to some wild {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Muk}}, and can be found by a [[Pokémon]] with the {{a|Pickup}} [[ability]]. In [[Generation IV]] it is officially announced that nuggets are made of gold, though the [[Generation III]] sprite revealed this beforehand. In [[Generation II]], Nuggets could be received for 3 points by participating in Buena's Password Show at night.

===[[Image:Pearl sprite.png]] [[Image:Big Pearl sprite.png]] Pearl and Big Pearl===
These items, introduced in [[Generation II]], can be sold for {{PDollar}}700 and {{PDollar}}3750, respectively. While not as common as the Nugget is, they can be found in the [[underwater]] routes in [[Hoenn]]. Because of being Pokémon based on clamshells, which in real life produce pearls, certain {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}, and also {{p|Clamperl}} in the case of the Big Pearl, can be found holding these items. Additionally, some wild {{p|Gulpin}} and {{p|Swalot}} can also hold them. Because of being bigger and more valuable, the Big Pearl is harder to find.

===[[Image:Stardust sprite.png]] [[Image:Star Piece sprite.png]] Stardust and Star Piece===
Also introduced in Generation II, these items can be sold for {{PDollar}}1000 and {{PDollar}}4900, respectively. Other than being rarely found lying around on a route or cave, they can be found attached to certain {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}}, due to them being based on starfish. It was found in the coding that the Stardust can also be held by wild {{p|Jirachi}} in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], although there are no actual wild Jirachi in the games. The Star Piece can additionally be found in the [[Sinnoh]] [[The Underground|Underground]]. Due to the Star Piece being a real piece of gem (and not only dust, unlike the Stardust), it can be sold for more money, and is generally harder to find.

===[[Image:Tinymushroom sprite.png]] [[Image:Big Mushroom sprite.png]] Tinymushroom and Big Mushroom===
These items were also introduced in Generation II, and can be sold for {{PDollar}}250 and {{PDollar}}2500, respectively. They can sometimes be found lying around, particularly in caves, and can also be held by wild {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}. These items are very valuable to certain maniacal fan segments, according to the games. These items actually serve a purpose as an [[exchangable item]] in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], as they can be given to the [[Move relearner]] (two Tinymushrooms or one Big Mushroom) to teach a Pokémon a move it is capable of learning through level-up, even if the Pokémon is of a higher level than when a certain move is learned. However, they don't serve any other purpose on any of the other games they appear in, so they are included in this list.

===Slowpoketail===
Introduced in [[Generation II]]. Offered by [[Team Rocket]] on [[Route 32]] for {{PDollar}}1,000,000, the player must refuse (as that is one more [[Pokémon Dollar]] than can be carried) and save all the {{p|Slowpoke}} Team Rocket has kidnapped. The item later appears in a shop Team Rocket's running in [[Mahogany Town]] for the much more affordable price of {{PDollar}}9800, but it can only be bought before meeting [[Lance]] at the [[Lake of Rage]], at which point the shop won't sell anything until Team Rocket is defeated in [[Goldenrod City]]. The item is never seen again after meeting Lance.

The Slowpoketail is actually a useless item with no function past its monetary value. Although it's said that a Slowpoke will use its tail for fishing, a Slowpoketail has no effect on fishing at all, nor does it have any effect on {{p|Shellder}} despite the fact that contact with a Slowpoke's tail usually induces a spiral evolution.

One key point of interest is when first introduced, the Team Rocket member mentions the Slowpoketail's value as a delicacy, being the first time that it's ever mentioned of the use of any Pokémon as an actual food (for human consumption), a rather controversial subject of what kind of creature is the contributor of meat (of any kind) in the Pokémon world.

===Gold and Silver Leaves===
Only appearing in [[Generation II]] games, they are mostly found being held by certain Pokémon traded from [[Generation I]] games.

===Brick Piece===
Only appearing in [[Generation II]] games, is mostly found being held by certain species of Pokémon that have been traded from [[Generation I]] games.

===Rare Bone===
This item was introduced in [[Generation IV]], and sells for {{PDollar}}5000, the equivalent of a Nugget. It can be found in the Sinnoh Underground. Others can be found in the room the player battled {{p|Giratina}} in [[Turnback Cave]] when returning a second time.

==Bargain Shop==
As stated earlier, on Mondays, a man sells a set of valuable items, however, each one can be purchased once.

{{mart|header}}
{{mart|item|Nugget|4500}}
{{mart|item|Pearl|650}}
{{mart|item|Big Pearl|3500}}
{{mart|item|Stardust|900}}
{{mart|item|Star Piece|4600}}
{{mart|footer}}

As one may notice, the prices shown are much cheaper than the sell prices. This is effective in helping players make profit.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Yellow}}

'''Pokémon: Special Pikachu Edition''', oftentimes known simply as '''Pokémon Yellow Version''', is the third Pokémon game released worldwide, as a [[third version|follow up]] to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. In Japan, it was the fourth Pokémon game, released as '''ポケットモンスターピカチュウ''' (Japanese: ''Pocket Monsters Pikachu''), after [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Red, Green]], and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]].

Similar to what happened to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Yellow arrived towards the end of the [[Game Boy]]'s lifespan. It managed, though, to receive the title of 2nd best selling game for its console, only losing to its predecessors.

==Plot==
Unlike other games, Yellow was inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, and thus, instead of having a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, players are forced to start off with a {{p|Pikachu}} that [[Professor Oak]] caught on {{rt|1}}. With the {{ga|Blue|rival}} beginning with an {{p|Eevee}}, the player now journeys from Pallet to go through an all-new experience—with no {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type2|Water}}s to fall back on until each member of the Kanto starter trio is obtained later on, about a quarter of the way through the game.

Much like before, players journey across [[Kanto]] from their hometown of [[Pallet Town|Pallet]], defeating the eight [[Gym Leaders]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]] do not join the player, unlike in the anime) and eventually the [[Elite Four]].

[[Team Rocket]] battles feature yet another special, anime-based surprise, as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] show up, along with their Pokémon, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, {{TP|James|Koffing}}, and {{MTR}}. Aside from their battles, the plot of Yellow is very similar to that of Red, Blue, and Green.

==Blurb==
"You've finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s license, and now you're on your way to becoming the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer! The shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}} tags along behind [[Player character|you]] as you search the enormous world for monsters to train and evolve. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}'s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}'s stormy {{m|Gust}}. Develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time!"

==Connectivity==
As well as reprising the ability to allow players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Boy]] [[link cable]], Yellow also debuted a new link battle mode, Colosseum 2. While battling another player's Pokémon team had been possible since the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} two years before Yellow's release, Yellow introduced several regulations in Colosseum 2 mode. Battle modes introduced include the [[Pika Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 15 to 20 only; their combined level limit is 50), [[Petit Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 15 to 20, heights under 6'8", and weights less than 44 pounds only) and [[Poké Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 50 to 55 only, and the sum of all entered Pokémon's levels cannot exceed 155. {{p|Mew}} is not allowed). These three cups would later become standard cups in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]].

==Changes from Red, Green, and Blue==
*{{p|Pikachu}} is the only [[starter Pokémon]] the player can have, and travels with the player on-screen, outside of a [[Poké Ball]] like {{OP|Ash|Pikachu}}. The {{ga|Blue|rival}} starts with {{p|Eevee}}, and the three normal [[Kanto]] starters can be obtained later in the game.
*Pokémon sprites have been completely redone to more closely resemble [[Ken Sugimori]]'s art and their depiction in the anime.
*[[List of in-game trades|In-game trades]] are changed to different Pokémon.
*[[Level]]-up and [[TM]] compatibility altered slightly.
*A minimal [[happiness]] system is implemented to track how Pikachu feels about the player, and Pikachu will refuse to evolve.
*[[Gym Leader]]s have different teams, some based on those that appear in the anime.
*Enhanced compatibility with the [[Game Boy Color]] (outside of Japan) and the ability to print out Pokédex entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]].
*A majority of [[glitch]]es were disabled, and many [[glitch Pokémon]] were altered into different, stranger forms.
*[[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear and are involved in [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme.
*[[Cerulean Cave]], the game's final dungeon, is redesigned a second time.
*A [[Surf|Surfing]] Pikachu minigame, [[Pikachu's Beach]], is included.

==Features==
===Gyms===
As in the other games of [[Generation I]], there are eight Pokémon Gyms in Kanto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Giovanni]] ({{t|Ground}}). The levels of certain Gym Leaders' Pokémon were adjusted for Yellow; some of their Pokémon [[Party|teams]] were revised as well.

===Elite Four===
The Elite Four is located at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite trainers are [[Lorelei]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Agatha]] ({{t|Ghost}}) and [[Lance]] ({{t|Dragon}}); the [[Champion]] is {{ga|Blue|the player's rival}}, who has Pokémon of mixed types. The levels of certain Elite trainer's Pokémon were adjusted for Yellow; some of their Pokémon teams were revised as well.

===Pokémon===
Yellow did not introduce any new Pokémon, and so the 151 present in Red, Green, and Blue are the only ones obtainable. Like the prior games, some Pokémon are missing from Yellow and must be traded from another game to complete the Pokédex or evolved from less powerful forms.

==[[Version-exclusive Pokémon]]==
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Pokémon Yellow. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the paired versions of [[Generation I]] which has that Pokémon available, which will be indicated.

Note that "'''{{color|{{green color}}|G}}'''" indicates a Pokémon that can be caught in the [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Japanese Green]], and thus in the [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|English Blue]] as well. "'''{{color|{{blue color}}|B}}'''" indicates a Pokémon obtainable in the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]].

==Reception==
Like {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Pokémon Yellow was also well received by the press. Like it's predecessors, it received a perfect 10/10 from IGN [http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=36696 1]. However, it was criticized as being "just a stopgap to help us wait for the [[Generation II|real sequels]]" [http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=251543 2]. Yellow received a slightly lower average score than {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, 85% on [http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/198314.asp?q=pokemon Game Rankings]. Despite this, it was the site's top rated [[Game Boy]] game in the year of its release, 1999.

===Title===
While this game's title has become widely accepted as simply Pokémon Yellow, its officially-recognized name is not entirely certain. On the boxart for most English versions, "Special Pikachu Edition" replaces the series' then-current slogan "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]," below the Pokémon logo, while "Yellow Version" is at the bottom, near where Red and Blue had theirs. However, "Special Pikachu Edition" is repeated on the box's opening and spine, while the Japanese title is simply Pocket Monsters Pikachu, with no color specified.

Despite this, the instruction manual refers to the game as "the Yellow version of Pokémon", and "Yellow Version" can be seen at the game's title screen.

Pikachu's Beach

2009-02-14T20:59:32Z

Dsaerno: Expanded the article, added details and removed obscure facts about how to get a surfing pikachu (that belongs elsewhere). also added trivia and removed incomplete tag, but not stub tag.

'''Pikachu's Beach''' is a minigame exclusive to {{g|Yellow Version}}. If the player brings a [[Surf|Surfing]] {{p|Pikachu}} to the man in the only house on [[Route 19]], Pikachu's Beach can be played. In all other Pokémon games, this house does not exist. A common way to obtain a Surfing Pikachu is to transfer one from Pokémon Stadium, though other methods exist.

The goal of the minigame is to score as many points as possible. The player controls [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] using the Control Pad. As Pikachu is launched over a wave, the left and right buttons can be pressed to cause Pikachu to flip. One flip grants Pikachu 50 points and two or more flips 150 points. The HP counter in the lower right corner acts as a timer and is continually decreasing. Opposite this is a progress bar that shows how far Pikachu is from shore.

When the game is over, Pikachu is scored based on the remaining HP and Radness (the points gained from flips). The high score is saved and can be recalled anytime by talking to the machine in the man's house on Route 19. The [[Game Boy Printer]] can be used to print out the high score as well.

==Trivia==
* Pikachu's Beach may be a reference to the episode [[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]].

'''The Pi-Kahuna''' (Japanese: '''なみのりピカチュウのでんせつ''' ''Legend of Surfing Pikachu'') is the 67th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 22, 1998 and in the United States on October 2, 1999. While training for the Pokémon League, Ash and friends meet up with a surfer and his Pikachu, as a famous wave approaches...

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}}, {{pkmn|training}} for the {{g|League}}, are jogging on a cliffside road. Ash, decked out in his white and orange shirt, is ahead of [[Misty]] (in her blue suit) and [[Brock]] (in his basketball jersey). However, Ash's progress has stopped when a truck passes by, spewing its exhaust in its wake. Blinded, Ash does not see that he is in the path of another truck heading in his direction. Misty and Brock look in horror as Ash is seemingly hit by the truck. Fortunately, the truck had swerved out of the way, leaving Ash unharmed, but it has created a large pileup behind him. [[Officer Jenny]] quickly arrives to defuse the volatile arguments caused by Ash and the drivers, who quickly speed off. As Ash wonders why the road would be so crowded, Officer Jenny tells them that it is the surfing season, and that the famous wave, Humunga-Dunga, is coming. Surfers from all over have tried to ride the Humunga-Dunga, which only appears once every 20 years, and plant their flag at the top of a rock, much like a famous surfer named Jan had done some 40 years ago.

Ash decides to also try surfing out, but his first go-around does not bode well. He wipes out often, and when on one occasion his foot cramps up, he is saved by an older man and his Pikachu. As Ash recovers, Misty and Brock introduces him to {{ka|Victor}} and his [[Puka|Pikachu]], who had help saved him from drowning. As {{AP|Pikachu}} meets Puka outside and watch the sea together, [[Team Rocket]], in the [[Team Rocket's Mechas|Gyarados submarine]], plots to steal both.

In the mean time, {{ka|Victor}}'s past is revealed: 40 years ago, he had been a young surfer, who had tried to emulate Jan. Although his skills were not good, Jan eventually took him under his wing, teaching him all about surfing. After Jan had conquered Humunga-Dunga and planted his flag atop the rock, he had given his own surfboard to Victor, simply saying "You can do it, too". With that, Jan had left to see the world. 20 years later, the Humunga-Dunga had arrived, but he had failed. Discouraged, he was about to give up on surfing, but he then saw a [[Puka|Pikachu]] that had been cast away in a box out at sea. This was when he first met Puka, and since then, the two have worked as a team: Puka had the ability to sense the waves, emitting a bluish glow when a big wave had approached, and it had helped the two conquer many big waves on the island - Humunga-Dunga was the only one that they have yet to conquer.

However, Victor's reverie is interrupted by Team Rocket, who have kidnapped both Pikachu and Puka. Diving down to make their getaway (with Pikachu straining to break himself and Puka out of their glass cage), Team Rocket encounter some real {{p|Gyarados}} in its mating season. The Gyarados is none too pleased, attacking the submarine and finishing off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, causing the submarine to launch into the air and sending Team Rocket flying, but freeing Pikachu and Puka.

Chasing after them on a boat, Ash manages to have {{AP|Bulbasaur}} catch Pikachu, but Puka falls into the water. Victor himself dives into the water, and using Jan's surfboard, manages to rescue Puka. However, the waves become more fierce, and Brock (now driving the boat) is forced to retreat, leaving Victor and Puka alone in the water. Just then, Puka begins to glow - a sign that Humunga-Dunga is coming.

Worried about Victor and Puka's safety from atop a nearby cliff, they are relieved when they find Victor and Puka riding the wave. As for the two, they manage to position themselves close to the rock, and manage to plant their flag atop the rock, next to Jan's. Back on shore, as Ash congratulates Victor for achieving his lifelong goal, Victor turns to a small group of young surfers, simply saying to them what he had been told so long ago: "Hey, you can do it, too."

As the episode closes, Team Rocket is seen being surrounded by Gyarados, atop a rock with half of their submarine.

[[Bill]]'s grandfather lives in Fuchsia City.

In [[Pokémon FireRed]] and [[Pokémon LeafGreen]], there's a [[Move Deleter]] that lives there.

A Pokémon zoo is located in Fuchsia City, just outside the Safari Zone. However, it is closed, like the Safari Zone, in Generation II. There are Pokémon on display, including [[Chansey]], [[Lapras]], [[Voltorb]], [[Kangaskhan]], and [[Slowpoke]]. In addition, the [[Fossil]] that the Player "shares" with the [[Super Nerd]] in [[Mt. Moon]] appears here as well. It will be an [[Omanyte]] if the Player chose the [[Dome Fossil]], and a [[Kabuto]] if the Player chose the [[Helix Fossil]].

[[Route 15]] leads into the city from the east, [[Route 18]] from the west, and the beach of [[Route 19]] is in the south.

[[Wild Pokémon]] appear in the city in a pond behind [[Warden Slowpoke]]'s house.

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

[[Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] managed to overcome the traps in the Gym and Ash was finally able to challenge Koga. Their match was interrupted when [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal Koga's large supply of Voltorb, although they had raided the Gym with the intent of geting Poison-type Pokémon. Team Rocket was stopped by [[Misty's Psyduck]], and Ash and Koga had a rematch. Ash triumphed and won the Soul Badge.

[[Image:Sugimorikogaoriginal.png|thumb|Art of Koga from ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'']]
Koga's is called the Poisonous Ninja Master. He likes the despair and horror that Poison-type Pokémon can inflict on others. He has many students that he trains in both ninjutsu and Pokémon. One of his students is his own daughter. He has built invisible walls in the Fuchsia City gym, constructing a confusing maze out of them. Koga awaits challengers in the center of the maze, clearly visible.

Koga has seriously studied medicine and antidotes, and makes his own potions to heal his Pokémon. Koga patrols the grounds of the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] regularly.

In addition to the Soul Badge, Koga gives out [[TM06]], {{m|Toxic}}, in ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]]'', ''[[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]]'', ''[[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]]'', ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]]''.

In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]]'', and ''[[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]]'', Koga has become much more powerful. He has left the Fuchsia City Gym in the hands of his daughter, [[Janine]], and joined the [[Elite Four]]. In this position, he battles with an intricate style, designed to counfound and destroy his opponent in battle. His sinister technique is [[status ailment|confusion, sleep, and poison]], rather than brute force.

''"Ah! You've proven your worth!"''

''"I subjected you to everything I could muster. But my efforts failed. I must hone my skills. Go on to the next room, and put your abilities to test!"''

=In the Pokémon Special manga=
[[Image:Koga.PNG|right|frame|Koga]]
Koga is one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and serves under [[Giovanni]].

He debuts in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' searching the [[Moon Stone]] in [[Mt. Moon]], here Koga fights with {{Special|Red}} and [[Misty]] and forces his Rhyhorn to evolve with a mysterious injection, revelling what happened to Misty's Gyarados when was kidnapped, however the mission fails. Koga later tries to bump off Red in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]], where he uses a Gastly to reanimate the corpses of dead Pokémon buried there. He also attacks Red with his Arbok. However, {{Special|Green}} has his {{p|Charmeleon}} slice Arbok in half. Under his boss's orders, he captures Articuno and brings it to [[Saffron City]]. He is once again defeated by Green at [[Silph Co.]].

Later, Koga helps the [[Pallet Town]] trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] during the [[Cerise Island]] battle. Koga is paired with Green. He then disappears for a time, leaving Janine in charge of the Gym. Janine is worried for her father, but opposes his criminal ties. At the end of the [[Johto]] adventures, Koga decides to ally himself with three other trainers who had been abandoned by evil organizations: [[Bruno]], [[Will]], and [[Karen]].

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

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

=Trivia=
*His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|忍の道に生きるジムリーダー|Gym Leader Who Lives the Way of the Shinobi}}.
*In the manga [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the ninja-in-training [[Wal]] is an admirer of Koga.
*Koga makes a short cameo appearance in a chapter of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.
*Out of the original Generation I Gym Leaders, Koga has the fewest trainer cards in the Gym Leader sets of the TCG. Incidentally, his [[Koga's Ninja Trick (Gym Challenge 115)|only trainer card]] besides the basic Koga card had to be edited because it featured a [[wp:manji|manji]], which could have caused controversy between cultures; the infamous [[wp:swastika|swastika]] is a rotated manji.
*Originally, Koga's badge was named the [[Marsh Badge]], but due to an error in the localization of Pokémon Red and Blue, his badge was mistakenly titled the Soul Badge. The Soul Badge was originally [[Sabrina|Sabrina's]].

'''Sabrina''' (Japanese: '''ナツメ''' ''Natsume'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Saffron Gym]]. She hands out the [[Badge#Marsh Badge|Marsh Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat her. She is a young lady with psychic abilities, and thus trains {{t|Psychic}}-type [[Pokémon]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Sabrina1.jpg|left|thumb|180px|Sabrina holding a doll of her former self]]
In the [[anime]], Sabrina was the fourth gym leader [[Ash]] encountered. He challenged her initially in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', and had a rematch with her in ''[[EP024|Haunter Versus Kadabra]]''. Her Japanese voice actress is ''Kae Araki'' and her English voice actress is [[Lisa Ortiz]].

Sabrina inherited her psychic power from her [[Sabrina's father|father]], who had the ability to {{m|teleport}} from location to location. It manifested when she was young, and it was soon apparent that Sabrina's abilities far exceeded her father's. She was able to use psionics to do many things- teleportation, telepathy, psychokinesis, and transmutation.

As her power increased, she grew more obsessed with developing it. She became less and less emotional, using her abilities for destructive purposes. This caused a deep psychological rift. The emotions she tried to shut off developed into a separate personality- a young girl who manifested as a puppet around Sabrina. Sabrina's mind was divided into the cold, callous woman with a thirst for power and the little girl who just wanted to have fun.

Sabrina became the leader of the [[Saffron Gym]], and turned it into an institute where fellow psychics could develop their powers. Ash was headed to Saffron one day, unknowningly watched by Sabrina. Sabrina's younger self used her psychic abilities to save Ash and his friends from [[Team Rocket]]. The next day, despite warnings from a mysterious man, Ash challenged Sabrina and lost miserably. Sabrina used her powers to shrink Ash and [[Ash's friends|his party]], but they were saved by the man. He cautioned Ash that only {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon could defeat Psychic-types.

Ash resolved to catch a Ghost-type Pokémon. After a trip to the [[Lavender Tower]], Ash returned with a [[Ash's Haunter|Haunter]] he had befriended. Ash challenged Sabrina to a rematch, but Haunter had wandered off in the meantime. Ash managed to escape Sabrina's wrath, rescued by the mysterious man once again, but [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] were transformed into dolls and placed into a dollhouse, where they met Sabrina's mother in a similar state.

After talking with the man, who was revealed to be Sabrina's father, Ash returned once more, and during the match, Haunter appeared and started to playfully tease Sabrina. Haunter's antics delighted Sabrina so much, that she was no longer able to contain her emotions and started to laugh. This caused her two personalities to merge back into one. Ash was deemed the winner of the match due to the inability of Sabrina or her psychically-linked Pokémon to battle, and the young man won the Marsh Badge. Haunter chose to stay with Sabrina and her reunited family.

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimorisabrinaoriginal.png|thumb|Art of Sabrina from Pokémon Red and Blue]]
Sabrina's title is "The Master of Psychic Pokémon." She has had psychic powers ever since she was a child, when she accidentally bent a spoon. She apparently dislikes battling, but is hard to beat because she can communicate with her Pokémon telepathically. Her fame has grown so much that even trainers living in the [[Sevii Islands]] have heard of her. Previously there were two Gyms in Saffron City, a {{type2|Fighting}} Gym, and a Psychic-type Gym. Sabrina used her advantage to defeat the rival gym and strip them of their Gym status.

In the same year that Sabrina was defeated by [[Red (game)|Red]]/[[Leaf (game)|Leaf]], she had a vision of [[Gold (game)|Gold]]/[[Kris (game)|Kris]]'s arrival. However, Sabrina was unable to foresee the greatness of this opponent's power, teaching her that even the ability of foresight may be limited.

In addition to the Marsh Badge, Sabrina gives out {{TM|46|Psywave}}, in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]], and [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]]. In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], she gives out {{TM|04|Calm Mind}}. In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], she doesn't give out a [[TM]].

==In the ''Pokémon Special'' manga==
[[Image:Sabrina.PNG|right|frame|Sabrina]]
Sabrina is one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and serves under [[Giovanni]] in [[Pokémon Special]].

Under her boss's orders, she captured {{p|Moltres}} and brought it to Saffron City. She then used her Mr. Mime's {{m|Barrier}} to totally close off Saffron City from the outside world. {{Special|Red}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} was able to pass through the barrier by using {{m|Substitute}}. He was then able to defeat Mr. Mime and let Red, {{Special|Blue}}, and {{Special|Green}} in. At [[Silph Co.]], Sabrina took on Blue. But the younger trainer was able to best Sabrina by outwitting her.

Later, Sabrina helped the [[Pallet Town]] trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] during the [[Cerise Island]] battle. Sabrina's Alakazam created magical items called the [[Spoons of Destiny]]. When held by a strong trainer, the Spoons of Destiny would point out a trainer of a similar style and personality. Using these tools, {{Special|Green}} was paired with [[Koga]], {{Special|Yellow}} was paired with [[Blaine]], {{Special|Red}} was paired with [[Lt. Surge]], and Sabrina herself was paired with {{Special|Blue}}. It would seem that all eight members still carry the spoons to this day.

During the battle against [[Lorelei]], Sabrina suffered severe [[wp:frostbite|frostbite]] injuries. Because of this, she later traveled to mystic springs at [[Johto]]'s [[Mt. Silver]] to heal.

The ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga probably presents the most sympathetic portrayal of Sabrina. She is a kind and gentle shrine maiden who runs a Gym in the mountains with her Abra. When she was a child, Sabrina's Pokémon were all killed by a gigantic Haunter that used {{m|Dream Eater}} to suck out their souls. After defeating Ash in a gym battle, Sabrina hears of the giant Haunter appearing at the Pokémon Tower, and went off to go defeat it. Unfortunately, she herself fell prey to the Haunter and her soul sucked out. But with Brock and Ash's help, Sabrina is able to defeat the Haunter. Although Ash tries to catch it with an [[Ultra Ball]], it kills itself using {{m|Selfdestruct}} rather than let itself be captured.

==In the TCG==
{{incomplete}}
There is a [[Theme Deck]] named for Sabrina in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion. It has two versions, [[Sabrina (TCG)|English]] and [[Sabrina (TCG - Japan)|Japanese]].
