==Talk Page Comments==
Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's {{bp|talk page policy}}. Please do not remove any comments in the future. If you wish to clean old comments away, you should archive your talk page instead. Thank you! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 21:02, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

==Hey==
I see you have been adding Pokémon that appeared in [[M14]] in articles. 1. The Movie has already aired so you should put "This (Pokémon) made an appearance in M14" or something along those lines. 2. The Pokémon's appearance was minor so it should go under the minor appearances section not major apperances section. Please keep this in mind when editing. Have a good day. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 22:50, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

== Edit warring ==

I told you when I first reverted you to take it up with Kenji-girl. Now you've reverted me twice, which leads to an edit war. Don't do it again please. Thank you. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''P S Y''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 20:20, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
:It was once actually, and btw is that ment to spell warning? just thought I'd let ya know :) [[User:Emeraldben|Emeraldben]] 20:33, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
::You added it, I reverted, you added it back, I removed it, you added it back, I took it off again. You reverted me twice. And no, edit warring refers to a constant reversion or addition that was removed, but is constantly being added in, which leads to a block depending on how bad it is. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''P S Y''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 20:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
**Well I only did it once myself, my internet did go off and back on again, so it was probably the times it was pressed [[User:Emeraldben|Emeraldben]] 20:40, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
:General rule of thumb: if you bring something up on a talk page, you should wait for a response or at least 24 hours before you even consider doing anything. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:51, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

== Signing ==

I've noticed you have been forgetting to sign quite often recently. Could you please make sure that you remember in future. Also, if you do forget to sign, you cannot go back and add your signature again like you did [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Dennou_Zenshi&diff=prev&oldid=1493221 here], as per the {{bp|signature policy}}. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:04, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

== Userpage ==

As noted at the top of the page, Userspace editing is currently restricted to one edit per day. You have broken this rule. Your page is locked from editing for a week. You should take this time to help out other parts of the site. We can't be the best Pokemon wiki if we don't keep adding information to our pages. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 23:03, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
*Well i wanted my userpage up and running, seeing as it would of been done by tonight, and if there were other pages I could help with I would but I can't so, and It says on the Userspace policy that I get a warning first which I have not had, so cant you unlock it tomorrow and I start doing one a day? [[User:Emeraldben|Emeraldben]] 23:09, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
::You get a warning before your userspace editing rights are taken away. Consider this that warning - the time away from the userspace is ''much'' longer than a week if that happens. You can have one per day from when the protection expires, assuming you contribute to the mainspace. Also, you'd think that the note at the top of every single page on the wiki would be enough warning. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:25, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Ahhhhh ok then and yeah it says userspace didnt really think that was the same thing, dont see why they just cant say 'userpage' but alright whatever :[[User:Emeraldben|Emeraldben]] 23:29, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

== Multiple accounts ==

You're only allowed to have one account per person. Please choose which one you want to keep. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:29, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
*This is my account but the other is my younger brothers.[[User:Emeraldben|Emeraldben]] 18:53, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
:Your younger brother has the same birth date as you, and the same name as you? Also, if that's the case, why did you name the forums account that you submitted your staff application with "{{u|prinben}}", and then say that your username is "emeraldben" in the form? Are you sure it's your brother and not you? Because it realy doesn't look like it. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:42, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Were twins, his name is craig but I made the account hence my name and in the forums it would noy let me use my 'emeraldben' name so I had to use his! [[User:Emeraldben|Emeraldben]] 18:16, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

'''Pokémon Theme''' is the first opening theme music from the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was used from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. Being featured in 83 episodes makes it the most-used dub opening theme. The opening animation uses footage from the first Japanese opening, ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]''.

It was written and produced by [[John Loeffler]]. The lead vocal was sung by [[Jason Paige]].

A full version of the song is the first track on the [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]] audio CD, and includes a second verse not usually heard in the show. This version is also featured in the episode of the anime, ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and once again in ''[[EP080|Friends To The End]]''. Another full version sung by {{wp|Billy Crawford}} was the theme played during the opening credits of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and is the first track on the [[Pokémon the First Movie (soundtrack)|movie's soundtrack]].

==Synopsis==
The clip begins with {{p|Mewtwo}} and a shining {{p|Mew}} floating in space, as the camera focuses on Earth, while the sun starts to rise. The next scene shows {{Ash}} alone in a stadium. After that, a {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{DL|Giselle|Cubone}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} are shown quickly, before changing to a {{AP|Bulbasaur}} being caught, to which Ash snaps excitedly. Shortly afterwards, the camera shows a {{AP|Haunter}} using {{m|Lick}} on {{AP|Charmander}}, paralyzing him.

Ash then flips his hat backwards and throws a [[Poké Ball]] to the camera. In the following scene, Ash can be seen running along with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}, who then jumps to the skies, disappearing between the [[legendary birds]], who are flying around. Then, a short clip of a {{DL|A.J.|Sandshrew}} unrolling itself, a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and Charmander is shown, followed by Ash and Pikachu sitting in a {{p|Lapras}}, as they watch a {{p|Gyarados}} jumping out of the water, and a {{p|Dragonair}} jumping in. After that, a Poké Ball is seen trapping a Pokémon who has turned into red energy.

A battle between Pikachu and {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} is seen, with the earlier dodging a {{m|Body Slam}} of the latter; and then, a {{AP|Caterpie}} bracing for an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}' and a {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s incoming attack. In the next scene, Ash is seen hugging his Pikachu, followed by a giant {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking a building. Ash then is seen holding a Poké Ball; followed by an {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Later, Ash appears to be looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him, followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, {{MTR}} and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball.

The camera then runs across {{p|Charizard}} while using {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{p|Blastoise}} while using {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{p|Venusaur}}; before Pikachu runs between Ash and a {{tc|Lass}} and jumps. The next scene introduces {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]], as they nod, the camera then shows a giant Charizard using Flamethrower, and Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} hide behind a boulder, later, a Squirtle is seen running towards Ash, followed by a hug.

The camera does a close-up on Pikachu, and subsequently zooms out, showing Pikachu standing on a Pidegotto, a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} holding a Squirtle, and a {{AP|Butterfree}} holding Bulbasaur. The last scene then shows up, on which Ash raises his feet and throws the Poké Ball to the screen, much like a {{wp|Pitcher|Baseball pitcher}}, followed by a spinning Poké Ball and the Pokémon logo.

'''Leafeon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リーフィア''' ''Leafia'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when it is [[level]]ed up near a [[Moss Rock]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Leafeon is an Eeveelution that bears similarities to both cats and foxes. Its body is tan colored. It has one shade of dark brown that is carried out on the tip of its paws, as its eye color, and in the center of the ear. It has sprouts growing all over it, making it look more like a plant. It has a longer sprout of its forehead. Leafeon ears and tail both share a leaf-like quality.

====Gender differences====
There are no known gender differences.

====Special abilities====
Leafeon can use any attack that {{p|Eevee}} knows with the addition of {{type2|Grass}} attacks. Its {{m|Razor Leaf|leaves are apparently quite sharp}} since it can learn {{m|Leaf Blade}}, {{m|X-Scissor}}, and other slicing attacks. As a fully-evolved Pokémon, Leafeon can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Giga Impact}}. It can also clean the air around it.

===Behavior===
It is pacifistic, preferring to obtain food with photosynthesis than competing with other Pokémon and foraging.

===Habitat===
As an Eevee, it chooses to live anywhere it wants. From there, it can evolve to its surroundings. In this case, Eevee has lived in a forest and evolved into Leafeon.

==Trivia==
* Leafeon is tied with {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} for the tallest [[Eeveelution]].
* According to the {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}} Pokédex, Leafeon, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Umbreon}} have identical footprints.
* As [[Eterna Forest]] is not accessible in {{v|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is impossible to access the [[Moss Rock]] to evolve Eevee into a Leafeon in the games. The same applies for {{p|Glaceon}}, though instead of Eterna forest it is {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} with the [[Ice Rock]]. Both have to be traded from {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to be obtained. It is also inaccessible in {{v|Black and White|s}}; however, players can now evolve Leafeon and Glaceon by leveling up next to the Moss Rock in [[Pinwheel Forest]] and the Ice Rock in [[Twist Mountain]], respectively.
** This also occurs for {{p|Magnezone}} and {{p|Probopass}}, who both evolve in [[Mt. Coronet]], a location in [[Sinnoh]]. They, like Leafeon and Glaceon, now evolve in a different location in [[Generation V]]: [[Chargestone Cave]].
* Leafeon is the only [[Eeveelution]] that has the same Special Defense as its {{p|Eevee|pre-evolution}}; all other Eeveelutions have a higher Special Defense than {{p|Eevee}}.

===Origin===

Leafeon bears many similarities to cats and foxes, such as its behaviors like tree climbing, and its cry sounds similar to a cat's meow or a foxes chirping. It displays traits of the {{wp|Fennec Fox}}, or tree-climbing {{wp|Gray Fox}}, and has the large ears and tail characteristic of many fox species. Its coloration appears to be inspired by the markings found on animals like the {{wp|Siamese Cat}} or the {{wp|Red Fox}}. It also has traits of {{wp|plant}}s, such as the ability to utilize photosynthesis. The brown marks of its paws give the appearance that they were buried. In Japan, and around the world, there are stories about domesticated animals that upon entering the forest become wild and eventually become one with it. Leafeon could be an exaggerated example of this story.

====Name origin====
Its name is derived from {{wp|leaf}}. The ''-eon'' suffix, common to all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s, comes from Eevee's prototype English name and possibly refers to the ending suffix of ''evolution'' itself.

'''Cubchoo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クマシュン''' ''Kumasyun'') is a {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon.

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Beartic}} at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Cubchoo is an ursine Pokémon with a light blue head and neck. It has a slightly pointed head, with large round ears, shiny, dark, oval-shaped eyes, and a darker-blue muzzle. Cubchoo has a shiny dark nose, from which a considerable amount of light blue nasal mucus, the source of its attacks, droops. The lower part of its body is white, with rounded forepaws, digit-less feet with black paw-pads, and a small round tail.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
A Cubchoo's nose is constantly running. It inhales the mucus and uses it in its attacks. If it is in bad health, the mucus becomes watery, which powers down its {{type2|Ice}} techniques.

'''Mamoswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マンムー''' ''Mammoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Piloswine}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}. It is the final evolution of {{p|Swinub}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mamoswine resembles a wooly mammoth crossed with a boar. Mamoswine's brown fur is very thick to endure harsh cold and protect from snow and ice, thus explaining both their {{a|Snow Cloak}} ability and {{a|Thick Fat}} hidden ability. Their tusks are made of pure, solid ice, and their massive body size is also helpful in preserving their own body heat. Mamoswine has a "mask" like pattern of coloration around their face, with a white rim and blue inside. The fur on its muzzle is tan and shaggy, and its nose, like its pre-evolutions', is also pig-like, if somewhat less so. Mamoswine's feet are black in coloration, with three thick claws, and its tail is small. Mamoswine exhibits a few {{type2|Ground}} characteristics, such as its sturdy body and powerful physique.

====Gender differences====
A female Mamoswine has shorter tusks than a male one.

====Special abilities====
Mamoswine have incredibly strong physical force. Their sturdy body and feet enable them to cross even the most dense and dry snow. Mamoswine are able to endure harsh cold and hunger for an almost indefinite amount of time, as indicated by a ten-thousand-year-old specimen waking up much to the amazement of those who discovered it.

Thanks to its dual Ice/Ground typing, Mamoswine is the only fully evolved Pokémon not affected by either {{m|Hail}} or {{m|Sandstorm}} (not including Pokémon who have abilities that negate weather effects).

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Mamoswine lived all around the world during the last {{wp|ice age}}, but its population thinned when the climate grew warmer. Some have been known to survive frozen for over 10,000 years.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn Mamoswine sleep.png|thumb|right|210px|{{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dawn's Mamoswine]]====
{{an|Dawn}} has a Mamoswine that evolved from a {{p|Piloswine}} in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A herd of Mamoswine appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' with {{p|Regigigas}}.

{{Animedexbody|DP106|Mamoswine|Dawn's Pokédex|Mamoswine, the Twin Tusk Pokémon and the evolved form of {{p|Piloswine}}. Distinguished by its large tusks, its weight is more than five times that of Piloswine, and is less commonly found since the end of the {{wp|ice age}}.}}

==Trivia==
*Mamoswine's Pokédex entry is a reference to how {{wp|woolly mammoth}}s became extinct.
*Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are the only {{type2|Ice}}s not weak to {{t|Rock}}, due to their part {{t|Ground}}-typing. However, they are also the only Ice-types weak to Water.
*Due to their unique typing Mamoswine and its evolutionary family are the only Pokémon that are resistant to damage from all types of weather effects without the aide of an ability.
*Mamoswine's evolutionary chain is the only Pokémon weak to all three starter Pokémon primary types: {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Grass}}.
*Tied with {{p|Kyurem}}, Mamoswine has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of any Ice-type.
*Mamoswine would have been obtainable in both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] if it had existed, as it was possible for {{p|Piloswine}} to learn {{m|AncientPower}} in both generations. It shares this trait with {{p|Lickilicky}}.
* Mamoswine and its {{p|Swinub|pre-}}{{p|Piloswine|evolutions}} are the only {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Brown|brown color group}}.
* Mamoswine is the heaviest Ice-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Mamoswine appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|woolly mammoth}} and a {{wp|boar}}.

====Name origin====
Mamoswine is a combination ''mammoth'' and ''swine''. Mammoo may be a combination of ''mammoth'' and ぶうぶう ''bū bū'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking. It could also be a reference to what its cry sounds like in the games.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
===Hundreds of years ago===
{{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}} jumps from boulder to boulder to a spot overseeing a wide expansive valley. Lucario senses something and uses its [[Aura]] to see the entire landscape. Lucario lets his sight travel about, going over more rocks and hills until he sees a large formation of a gigantic, red-armored Pokémon army, mixed with human foot soldiers, that is charging towards the middle of the valley. He looks to the other side of the valley and sees an equally gigantic, green-armored army, with equally powerful Pokémon of different species charging to the same destination.

As Lucario is comprehending the danger of the event, three {{p|Houndoom}} from the red army arrive at the scene, which Lucario evades and leaps away. He heads to a crystal formation on the ground, touching it and then speaks through the crystal to his master, [[Sir Aaron]], an Aura Guardian, who is at [[Cameran Palace]]. Aaron stands upon a balcony with Queen Rin that overlooks the entire land, and he hears Lucario's voice coming from another crystal formation on the balcony. It seems the palace is in imminent danger of being overrun; peace cannot be brought to the two warring sides.

The three Houndoom find Lucario and proceed to attack him. After being cornered, he is left no choice and fights back. Using his Aura to sense his surroundings, he manages to defeat his pursuers.

Knowing that Aaron must leave, Rin explains she is obliged as queen to share the same fate as the castle. After their last exchange of words, Aaron hops a ride on his {{P|Pidgeot}} to the valley. Aaron tells Lucario that he has abandoned the palace and the Queen and will not be returning. Lucario cannot believe what he is hearing and implores him to wait, but Aaron throws down his scepter, trapping Lucario and drawing him into the jewel at the top. From within the jewel, Lucario can see Aaron going off and feels betrayed.

Rin observes from afar that the [[Tree of Beginning]] is suffering from the hazard. The two armies clash in the middle of the valley. Outside of the tree, Pidgeot flies away alone. With this, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tree of the Beginning, revealing itself to be {{OBP|Mew|movie 8}}.

Pidgeot approaches Rin with the scepter in its beak, which she takes. Suddenly, Rin witnesses the sight of the tree starting to glow green, and soon every crystal formation throughout the land emits a beam of green light. As the light spreads further out, the armies stop their battle, in awe of the event that is taking place.

===Present day===
And with that, a mother reads the story to her daughter. According to legend, Queen Rin believed Aaron to be the hero who had used the power of the Tree of Beginning, where Mew is said to live. The two armies stopped their fighting, their hatred replaced with understanding and returned to their lands and peace was restored. Aaron became known as the True Guardian of Aura, without whom peace would have not been restored. To this day, the legend is commemorated every year in the town of [[Rota]] and the same [[Cameran Palace]].

{{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[Max]] happen to come to this town during this time, and decided to participate in a tournament to decide who will be the "Hero of the Year." Ash and company walk along a bridge to Cameron Palace, they are dressed in their regular clothes while the others are in renaissance outfits. Meanwhile, a {{p|Taillow}} overhead lands on a window of the Palace, turning into a {{p|Pichu}}. In another room, Ash and company finds a costume closet and decide to dress more appropriately. They later hurry to the tournament that is about to begin.

Before the tournament begins [[Queen Ilene]], the ruler of the palace along with her maid {{mo|Jenny}} and her Pokémon {{p|Mime Jr.}}, steps out to the royal box seat to officially begin the tournament. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} win it eventually and Ash becomes the "Hero of the Year".

Ash goes up his opponent in the finals and is surprised to discover the trainer is actually a girl. She introduces herself as [[Kidd Summers]]. Ilene then announces that there will be a ball and banquet in honor of the "True Guardian of the Aura".

Ash is presented to sit in a throne that overlooks the ballroom. Ilene presents Ash with Aaron's scepter. He suddenly hears a voice from the jewel crying "Why?". Ash is a bit confused, he asked if someone else heard it, but nobody did. Shrugging it off, the ball soon goes underway.

With the new company, Mew {{m|transform}}ed as an {{p|Aipom}} takes the Pokémon posse about through the castle. {{MTR}}, who is helping himself to some food underneath the table, hears them and decides to follow them but is unable to. Aipom directs the Pokémon to the attic. There Aipom shows the Pokémon around to a few toys and all of them plays around with those. After a bit, Aipom transforms into {{p|Pikachu}} and begins dancing with Ash's Pikachu.

Kidd slips away from the ball into the same direction the Pokémon went off to. She quickly slips out of her costume, sporting a pink-purplish wetsuit like outfit. She makes her way outside from the window, Meowth noticing and follows. She climbs up to the rooftop before shooting a grappling rod to a tower across the castle grounds. She jumps off from one roof to the next. Meowth only goes so far, before he slips down the sloped rooftop. His tail grabs a hold of a decorative steeple rod, but finds himself swinging down, crashing into a window on the lower floor.

Ash sits upon the throne, being a bit bored. He asks if he could get some food but Jenny keeps him down on the throne, telling him to act like a hero. Max notices the Pokémon are missing, until {{TP|May|Munchlax}} comes back to nab a plate of fruit and goes back upstairs with it. Max follows Munchlax to the top.

Kidd manages to get to a good vantage point on the roof where she can see through the broken glass Meowth made. She sees Mew and then puts on a pair of special glasses and begins reporting information to her boss, [[Banks]].

In the attic, the other Pikachu transforms into Mew, looking at Meowth to see if he is alright. Taking this chance, Kidd sends out two {{p|Weavile}}, and orders them to place a tracking device on Mew. Both of them jump into the broken window and begin a swift attack at Mew. Mew dodges their assaults easily. In an attempt to stop Mew, both of them use {{m|Blizzard}} just as Mew flies towards the door. At the same moment, Munchlax comes into the room and finds itself frozen in a block of ice. The door also freezes at its hinges and cracks. Just when Max gets there, he finds the door hard to open.

Mew is soon held down though, and just when one of the Weavile is about to attach the tracker on Mew, Pikachu shocks the Pokémon with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Mew escapes to Pikachu, but the Weavile try another Blizzard attack. Both Mew and Pikachu dodge, the attack hitting the other Pokémon, freezing them. Mew then flies over towards Meowth who is at a corner, and transforms into a Meowth. Mew switches itself and Meowth around to confuse the Weavile, but Meowth speaks and ruins the plan. Soon Pikachu is left exhausted and weakened from battling with the Weavile.

Kidd notices this and figures that the plan did not go as well as expected. With Pikachu unconscious and the other Pokémon frozen, both Mew and Meowth are on their own. Mew transforms back to its original self. Max finally gets the door open, but only a crack as he watches what goes on. Mew soon {{m|teleport}}s before the Weavile can do anything else. The three teleport to one of the tower's steeples, and then Mew transforms into a Pidgeot and flies off, towards the Tree of Beginning.

Back at the ball, Jenny tells Ash to stand up and do the hero's pose. Ash stands up and copies the pose on [[Sir Aaron]] poster. Once again Ash hears a voice from the jewel. The jewel soon glows, releasing Lucario from it. Lucario, still blinded from the attack from the Houndoom during the great battle, is using Aura to see and mistakes Ash's form with Aaron's due to their similar Aura.

Lucario kneels down before Ash before realizing he isn't Aaron. Lucario becomes confused at what is going on, seeing the many people. Lucario soon escapes through the crowd of people, running around through the castle. He sees that it has changed, and memories of him and Aaron soon start replaying in his mind as he walks about.

Lucario stops at a display room, which he remembers to be a bedroom. Ash, May, Brock, Ilene and Jenny confront Lucario in the room. Looking at Ilene, Lucario mistakes her for Rin and is glad to see her. Ilene says to Lucario that she is the descendant of Rin, the Queen who was reigning at the castle during his time. She goes on to explain that the memories that seem to him like yesterday, are in fact ancient events.

At the Tree of Beginning, Mew looks after Pikachu, who is resting in a bed of leaves. Meowth seems to understand what Mew is up to, seeing a large pile of toys that it has gathered. Pikachu soon recovers.

Back at the throne room, Ilene explains to Ash and company the story of Aaron and Lucario. Just then, Max runs into the room, exclaiming he just saw Mew getting attacked, and it took Pikachu and Meowth somewhere. Kidd comes out of the same door, confirming what Max saw. She also says that she saw Mew transform into a Pidgeot and took them away to the Tree of Beginning. Ilene takes them out to the balcony overlooking the land and shows them the tree. Ilene explains that the tree is actually a unique rock formation, and supposedly possesses healing powers beyond imagination. It can revive the earth and soothe angry hearts, although it requires Mew. Ash decides the only way to get Pikachu back is to go over there himself. At Ilene's request, Lucario agrees to accompany the group in their quest.

Kidd says that she wants to go too. Brock reveals Kidd has been on a lot of major adventure fronts, including deep sea diving in a sub and space travel. Brock goes crazy about how much he wanted to meet her and how it has been an honor. Kidd says that she is here for the adventure, and she has a {{wp|Humvee}} that will get them there in no time. The next day, Kidd takes Ash and company towards the Tree of Beginning, Lucario running up ahead while Ilene and Jenny stay behind at Cameran Castle. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] hitch a ride in the trunk.

Pikachu, after waking up, sees that it is with Mew and Meowth. Mew is excited that Pikachu is awake and well, playing around with it for a moment. Meowth falls into a hole concealed in a branch stump. Pikachu goes up to and pokes his head in along with Mew. They see a long vertical tunnel with green bubbles coming up. Mew hops onto a bubble, followed by Pikachu. At another branch stump up higher, the three Pokémon come out. They walk up to the edge of the land, seeing the magnificent landscape below them.

The crew takes a break for lunch. Lucario finds some berries while he sits upon a boulder. As Brock passes out the plates to everyone a {{p|Bonsly}} takes one of them before he could get to it. Brock finds Bonsly below eating the lunch. Brock scolds it but this only makes it cry. May and Ash think Brock was too harsh, but Max points out that Bonsly is only using {{m|Fake Tears}}, and the Bonsly runs away with the food. Lucario picks up the plate, offering Bonsly a berry instead. The Bonsly runs off behind a rock, peaking behind it once in a while.

They continue to travel down to the Tree of Beginning, but they stop once more. This time, the road is littered with geysers that are erupting and then May notices something off to the side, a hot spring! They decide to stop until the eruptions subside and take a dip. Ash, Brock, Max, and their Pokémon, except {{AP|Phanpy|Donphan}}, take a swim in the hot spring.

When May comes out of the Humvee from dressing, Bonsly drops upon her head from the roof who apparently took a ride with them, so May decides to take it along. She tries to take Bonsly into the water, but the small Pokémon jumps out and hides behind Phanpy. Max explains that Bonsly doesn't like water because it is a {{t|Rock}} Pokémon. Lucario sits upon a rock, remembering the time when Aaron took him here. The memory was interrupted when Ash told Lucario to jump in, but Lucario simply walks off, Ash a bit annoyed by his cold attitude. May notices a strange looking plant upon rocks, Ash says that he will get it. As soon as he grabs it though, he slips and falls off. May catches the plant, which looks like a crystallized pod. Seeing as how it is a flower, they decided to plant it. But just before they do, the pod suddenly blooms and the area becomes holographic as they see a replay of Ash falling off the cliff as he was getting the plant. Kidd knows what it is, a [[Time Flower]]. She explains that it records events in the area at the time it was planted and then it can replay the scene at a later time when activated.

Night falls as they travel, and they decide to camp for the night. Ash tells everyone [[EP001|the story]] of how he and Pikachu became partners and best friends. Lucario suddenly walks away in disgust, and when confronted by Ash, Lucario tells him of his belief that humans and Pokémon could never be friends. Ash gets very angry at this, and asks Lucario why they should believe everything he says about Sir Aaron anyway. Lucario asks Ash how does he know Pikachu was kidnapped, maybe it just wanted to get away from a weak trainer. This pushes Ash over the edge and he tackles Lucario, both rolling down a ledge to a pond. The two thrash about in the pond, the others coming to try and stop the two from frighting. Lucario finally throws Ash out to the shore, jumping off to the top of the ledge. He storms off thinking that people are just cruel.

Lucario finds a tree to lean upon, recalling another memory of how Aaron trained him to master his Aura. Just then, Max comes up and gives Lucario a bar of {{wp|chocolate}} who, after some hesitation, decides to eat it. Later that night, Mew and Pikachu play about while Meowth sleeps. Pikachu smiles a bit, but it still cannot help the feeling of being separated from Ash.

Ash wakes up from his sleep, thinking he heard Pikachu's voice. He gets out of the Humvee the crew was sleeping in, noticing Lucario on a rock. Ash tries to help Lucario look on the bright side of things as he tells Lucario that he and Pikachu are friends. Lucario tells Ash that Aaron was his master and cannot quite understand the concept of being alongside a human to be friends after all this time of being a servant of Aaron.

The next day, they travel down the path, soon coming up to a stop. Lucario stands looking up at a cliff, the others wondering what is going on. Lucario tells them this was the spot that Aaron sealed Lucario in his scepter. He touches a Time Flower by accident and soon it replays the exact same scene, when Lucario meets up with Aaron, where he renounces his loyalty to the Queen, throws his scepter down and seals Lucario in the jewel. Then they watch Aaron fly off. Suddenly from the two pathways on the road, the green army charges through the small pathway. Lucario appears horrified and begins throwing {{m|Aura Sphere}}s at them, barely missing Ash. Ash tells Lucario to stop because they are only illusions. Lucario does stop, shocked to have seen that event happen. Ash comes up to him, apologizing for his earlier words against him. Lucario accepts the apology, and makes Ash promise to never abandon Pikachu.

As they walk back to the Humvee, Lucario senses something. At the last second, he pushes himself and Ash out of the way just as a {{DL|Legendary golems (movie 8)|Regirock}} {{m|dig}}s its way from the ground. It begins using {{m|Hyper Beam}} upon the "intruders". Lucario covers for them and keeps Regirock occupied before escaping into the crevice. Along the way Lucario tells them to make a turn at a tunnel. They follow the tunnel, and by now it seems as if they have lost Regirock. At the end of the tunnel, they come to a large cave of ancient Pokémon.

Now that they made it into the Tree, the only way to get to Pikachu is by going up. Ash goes on ahead to another tunnel, followed by Lucario. Kidd takes out her specs, relaying information back to the company. Banks tells here that the tree is designed with many tunnels that make a network like blood vessels. Kidd deploys out small helicopter gadgets to gather information about the Tree, then she follows Ash.

The probes that Kidd deployed attempt to take samples of the crystal that lie there. However, a red blob engulfs and eats them. Kidd gets a warning that the probes are rapidly being destroyed, and that a sort of immune system in the Tree has been activated, which seeks out and destroys intruders. A {{DL|Legendary golems (movie 8)|Registeel}} becomes aware of the intruders and begins to hunt them as well.

At the end of the next tunnel, Ash finds himself upon one of the "leaves" of the Tree. Ash called out to Pikachu, who hears him and calls back. As things seemed to turn for the better, a {{DL|Legendary golems (movie 8)|Regice}} stands in front of Ash's path and begins firing a barrage of {{m|Ice Beam}}s. Lucario battles it while Ash gets away. He gets to the tunnel, telling the others they must find another way because Regice is up ahead. Lucario throws an Aura Sphere at it to stun it long enough to get away.

They find another tunnel, finding themselves at the cliff of a large hollow cave, being a good ways above the ground. Blue crystal pillars stick out from wall to wall. Deciding where to go, Jessie and James find themselves in the same place, at a different entrance. They jump down to Ash and company, landing with a crash. Apparently Regirock and Registeel found them. Lucario pointed a way, across one of the blue pillars that ran like a bridge to another exit higher up. Lucario at the end of the line finds the Regis on their tail. He sends a Aura Sphere to the bridge, destroying it before they have a chance to cross.

As Jessie and James run up ahead, a red blob comes from the other side of the tunnel after them. It turns into a {{p|Cradily}} shape and swallows up Jessie. James tries to save her by sending out {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, using {{m|Pin Missile}}. However Jessie is eventually swallowed up. Another comes after James, who sends out {{TP|James|Chimecho}}, telling it to save itself. Ash and company arrive and see this, wondering what is going on with this place.

One more, in the shape of an {{p|Aerodactyl}} comes after them, but Lucario destroys it with his Aura Sphere. The gang are quickly on the run again, and Cacnea and Chimecho are left standing sad and confused over what happened to their Trainers. Soon the red blob figures come from behind. The others try to find another way to get past them. One of them makes it through and almost catches Kidd, that is until Lucario gets in the way. It takes Lucario, but soon explodes off. Apparently the Tree does not consider Pokémon hostile.

They soon discover the two Regis are once again behind their tails. As they run, they find a room with two tunnels. The group decides to split and meet up later. Ash and Lucario go in one group to lure the Regis away. Ash stays behind though so that he can get the Regis' attention once they have come. Using {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Corphish}}, he is able to slow them down briefly.

While the four travel through the Tree, the red blob strikes once more. This time, it takes Brock. Not wanting his Pokémon to go down with him, he releases {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}}. Max also gets caught, and May tries in vain to save her brother. After he is taken May is also taken as well, releasing {{TP|May|Combusken|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}} before she is gone. Kidd, on the other hand, dodges two of them, managing to escape the blobs. The Pokémon are left behind, horrified by what has happened.

Lucario and Ash managed to lose the Regis but they come up to a huge crevice with the crystal pillars coming out from side to side. Not only is it a long way down, but there is a very strong wind. On the other side, Pikachu, Mew, and Meowth come out from another tunnel. Ash, happy to see Pikachu, walks out on the pillars while Pikachu does the same. Pikachu has no problem hopping from pillar to pillar in the wind, but Ash occasionally slips. He continues on when the wind gets too strong. Both him and Pikachu meet in the middle, where they jump to meet, though they soon fall down. In the nick of time, Kidd uses her grappling hook to swing across and grab Ash and Pikachu, heading to the tunnel where Lucario waits. It seems Lucario is beginning to understand the deeper relationship that could be possible between humans and Pokémon. Mew joins in, along with Meowth.

While going through the tunnels, Ash and Meowth are horrified to learn their friends are gone when they come up across the red blobs once more. They find a branch off to another tunnel but the blobs continue right behind them. The group comes to a room with large crystal formations. Lucario goes on ahead, but is ambushed by Registeel and Regirock. Registeel grabs him, giving the red blobs a chance to capture Kidd and Ash. As Kidd gets "eaten", she releases both her Weavile from their [[Poké Ball]]s. Lucario desperately tries to free himself, but it stunned by Registeel. Ash releases Phanpy and {{TP|Ash|Swellow}} and tells Pikachu to look after the others. Pikachu, desperate to save Ash, grabs onto his hand and is assisted by the other Pokémon and is horrified by what is happening to Ash. Lucario manages to free himself from Registeel's grip and hurries to help, but it is too late. Ash is gone as the blob slips into the ground. Ash's Pokémon, devastated by their loss, begin to cry. Lucario watches this, appearing hurt by the loss as well.

Mew sees how upset Pikachu is from losing Ash and flies up, touching a crystal. It begins to glow green, as well as every crystal in the area. Soon the blobs, now green, form up into mounds and dissolve away, leaving their victims behind alive and well just where they had taken them; all happily greeted by their Pokémon. As Ash is also released from the blob, Pikachu jumps into his arms and quickly followed by Ash's other Pokémon, all overjoyed to have him back. The Regis walk off, not seeing them as a threat anymore. Meowth tells Ash that Mew communicated to the Tree and was able to convince it the humans were not a threat. Ash thanks Mew for saving them, but Mew is now very weak.

Suddenly all of the crystals become red in color. Meowth hears James's voice nearby and hurries off unnoticed. Kidd's boss says that the immune system has gone into shock and whole Tree has become unstable. Kidd tells Ash that Mew and the Tree and connected and if the Tree is destroyed, Mew will certainly die. The crystals also begin to blacken and crumble, the place is collapsing, and fast. Ash gets his Pokémon back inside their Poké Balls and, with no time to lose, Mew helps him and Kidd find the core room where they could use Mew to restore the Tree. The problem is that they do not know how to restore the Tree, and Mew is too weak to do anything. Lucario looks to the side and notices that there is a crystal formation with Sir Aaron's body inside it!

Lucario does not understand why Aaron is here, but sees his gloves nearby. Ash finds a Time Flower next to the core and runs up to it to activate it. When the pod opens up, it displays the scene as Aaron comes in. Ho-Oh also comes in, revealing itself to be Mew. They watch as Aaron begins delivering his Aura, the only energy that would suffice, to Mew. Mew stores the power and once enough has been stored, goes to the core to begin the restoration. But at the end, they see Aaron stumble and fall and the scene ends.

Lucario realizes that Sir Aaron did not abandon the kingdom, but in fact sacrificed himself to save it and that he is truly the hero everyone believes him to be. Lucario is filled with guilt for doubting his master, but realizes that the power of the Aura can restore the Tree. Lucario, seeing how he can utilize the Aura that Aaron can, declares he will be the one to do it. Lucario goes up to Mew and begins transferring energy, but is soon pulled back. He realizes he is not strong enough yet to deliver the energy needed. Ash remembers that Lucario mentioned he had the same Aura as Sir Aaron, and can control it as well. He puts on Aaron's gloves, which help to channel the energy. Kidd tries to stop Ash, telling him he would be sacrificing himself, but Ash knows that if the Tree is not saved Mew and all the other Pokémon living in the tree will die. Both Lucario and Ash begin channeling energy into Mew. As time passes and they channel more energy, it begins to strain them. However at the last second Lucario pushed Ash out of the way, telling him not to worry.

Once the energy channeling was complete, Mew swiftly moved to the energy core of the Tree, the stored energy releasing a green light like the same light from the hundreds of years ago. The crystals turn green and emit bright beams of light across the land, saving the Tree and all the Pokémon.

After Mew completed the healing process, Kidd confers with Banks and finds out that everything is normal. Back in the core of the Tree Lucario stumbles down, exhausted from what he has done, in the same condition as Aaron when he collapsed. Lucario's hand bumped into a Time Flower, activating it. This time it was Aaron as he sat there, saying his last words. He tells Lucario that he only sealed him up because he knew Lucario would follow him no matter what otherwise. He also says that Lucario was not his servant, but his partner and friend. Lucario sobbed a bit and smiled at that, understanding now Sir Aaron's sacrifice. He thanked Ash for showing him the same friendship Aaron provided. Lucario then disappears and, along with Aaron's crystallized form, two spirits floating up to the sky.

Kidd and Ash step outside to see that things are well. Kidd gets in touch with Banks, who tells Kidd that she will make a fortune from the information she has gathered, but Kidd decides not to publish this adventure, knowing the Tree would be ruined by tourists to which Banks reluctantly agrees. Ash reflected upon how valuable a friendship really is, especially between a Pokémon and a human.

[[File:Lucario and Ash.png|thumb|right|220px|Lucario with Ash before dying]]
Ash and company take a cable car down. Along the way they see Kidd packing up her Humvee and leaving. Later, they find out the tapestry in the castle showing Aaron holding up his scepter has changed; it now shows Lucario, Aaron's partner and friend, standing beside him. Bonsly remains with Mew at the Tree of Beginning, both of them thrilled to have found a friend. In what would appear to be the afterlife, Aaron and Lucario stand together when Aaron offers Lucario some chocolate before both of them walk into the distance. Ash and his friends meanwhile continue their journey through the [[Kanto]] region, ready to face any challenges that may await them.

== Trivia ==
[[Image:Sir_Aaron.png|300px|thumb|right|Sir Aaron, Knight of Cameran Palace]]
* In this movie, {{p|Regice}} was pronounced as Rej-i-Ice; however, in [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]], it was pronounced as Rej-Ice.
** In the danish version of Battle Frontier, {{p|Regice}} is pronounced Rej-i-Ice.
* This movie premiered in Japan between the episodes ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'' and ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]''.
* This movie introduces the concept of [[aura]] to the series.
* This is the second movie in which a character dies and is not resurrected. The first was [[M05|Pokémon Heroes]], where [[Latios (movie 5)|Latios]] sacrificed himself to save [[Alto Mare]] from a large tidal wave. This time two characters died, Lucario, and Sir Aaron but they are seen during the credits, presumbly in the after life.
* This is the first time, since the 5th movie, that the corresponding theme song is played during the opening credits (this time it is the Advanced Battle theme), however it receives no remix.
* The castle is based on {{wp|Neuschwanstein}}, a castle in {{wp|Allgäu}}, {{wp|Bavaria}}, Germany. <ref>http://www.pokemon2005.jp/staffdiary/0801.html</ref>
* In Latin America, it was the first of the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} movies to be dubbed, and aired just after the finale of [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] and before the beginning of [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] in a special along with ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. The other two ''Advanced Generation'' movies, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', were not dubbed until early 2008.
* The strings section of the movie score is performed by Koike Strings, and was recorded on June 11, 2005. [http://www.koikestrings.com/ Koike Strings official website]
* In this film, Bonsly is pronounced "bons-lee", but in subsequent anime episodes the pronunciation has been "bons-lie", similar to "bonsai", from which Bonsly takes its name.
* During the scene where Ash remembers a scene from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', an instrumental part of ''[[Aim to be a Pokémon Master]]'' can be heard playing as the background music.
* The two parties of Pokémon, Red and Green, reference the original two [[version]]s of Pokémon, {{game3|Red and Green|Red and Green|s}}.
* [[May's Munchlax]] is the only one of the main characters' Pokémon besides Pikachu to appear on the front cover.
** This is also the second movie in a row where a {{p|Munchlax}} appears on the front cover.
* This is the second Pokémon movie so far that does not have a [[legendary Pokémon]] as the main featured Pokémon, the first being ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and later ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* This is the only Pokémon movie that has appearances by [[legendary Pokémon]] from each of the first three generations: {{p|Mew}} from [[Generation I]], {{p|Ho-Oh}} from [[Generation II]] and {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}} from [[Generation III]] (although the Ho-Oh was just a transformed Mew).
* When Mew is transformed into Ho-Oh in the dub, {{p|Pidgeot}}'s voice is used as well as Ho-oh's.
* This movie was made canon by ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', when Ash, being the only human in the area able to sense and use aura, is the only one who could reseal {{p|Spiritomb}}, and by ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts One]] [[DP072|and Two]]'' when Ash was able to sense Riolu's presence.
* This movie would mark the third time Ash has died and then brought back to life, and the second time in the movie series. The first time was in the anime episode ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', and the second was in the first movie ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* This movie was in the making before its [[M07|predecessor]] was even finished.
* The Lapras music box at the Tree of Beginning plays the same tune as [[Jigglypuff (anime)|Jigglypuff's]] song.
* In the epilogue, Kidd appears to be exploring [[Forina]], a location featured in a previous movie ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. Two of the main characters from the movie, [[Butler]] and [[Diane]], make a cameo appearance in this scene, standing behind Kidd.
* This movie was nominated for best anime feature in the {{wp|American Anime Awards}}, but lost to {{wp|Final Fantasy VII Advent Children}}.

'''Platinum Berlitz''' (Japanese: '''プラチナ・ベルリッツ''' ''Platinum Berlitz'') is the thirteenth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]] and the female main character for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} and the {{chap|Platinum}} story arcs. At first, she was only known by her family name; her given name is the same as the then unreleased third version to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{v2|Platinum}}.

==Character==
Platinum is a member of the house of Berlitz, a 200-year old and {{wp|zaibatsu|extremely financially powerful family}} of [[Sinnoh]]. She wears diamond and pearl rings. She does not give her name to commoners, instead insisting that they refer to her as '''Lady{{tt|*|Missy in the Chuang Yi versions}}''' (Japanese: '''お嬢様''' ''Ojōsama'', a term used to refer to the daughter of someone of high class).

She is very knowledgeable as a result of reading lots of books during her childhood. However, since beginning her journey she has decided that it is better to actually experience as much as possible. For this reason, Platinum challenges the [[Gym]]s of Sinnoh and also takes on other challenges such as the [[Super Contest]]s of [[Hearthome City]]. She has shown a natural tendency to recognize patterns and has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of various areas of Sinnoh and Pokémon in general, although towards the beginning of her journey, she had difficulty dealing with wild Pokémon. Despite her knowledgeable nature, Platinum originally had troubles with managing her money but was able to overcome this in her challenge of the Battle Castle.

Platinum is amazed by the closeness of Pearl and Diamond, as well as their various skills: Pearl's assortment of {{pkmn|battle|battling}} advice and Diamond's ability to cook [[Poffin]]s and instincts on Pokémon. She also is an audience for their various Manzai attempts and is amused by them at times. Platinum often can be demanding of Pearl, annoying him. Platinum is also unaware of a [[CommonerShipping|crush]] Diamond has on her. It seems that, after saving her from [[Team Galactic]], Platinum gains respect for Diamond and Pearl, by calling them by their first names, but, she still refuses to give her name. The boys assume her name is "Lady", hearing it from Pearl's [[Chatler]], who repeated it from a conversation between Platinum and her butler. After formally accepting them as her bodyguards and friends, she revealed her real name to them.

==History==
==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[File:Platinum Berlitz.png|thumb|left|Platinum in the seventh chapter]]

Platinum is introduced at the beginning of the seventh chapter as a member of the ancient Berlitz family, which has a tradition for its member's coming of age to travel to the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]] to obtain materials to make their personal family crest. At the suggestion of the Berlitz's butler, {{adv|Sebastian}}, her father hired [[Paka and Uji|two bodyguards]] to protect her on her journey. [[Professor Rowan]] provided her with three [[Pokédex]]es, three [[Pokétch]]es, and the three Sinnoh [[starter Pokémon]] so that Platinum would share them with her bodyguards to assist him in his research.

However, because {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} coincidentally match the bodyguards' description--one in a red scarf and the other in a green scarf--Platinum presumes they are her bodyguards instead, and the duo think that this journey is a sort of {{wp|Reality television|reality TV show}}. Platinum assumed that they were actually her bodyguards, chosen so the trio would not seem odd.

After several misadventures, the three reach [[Oreburgh City]] where Platinum plans to have her first Gym Battle. Platinum goes to challenge the Oreburgh Gym and battles the Gym Leader, [[Roark]]. Despite initial troubles, Platinum manages to defeat him with the assistance of Diamond and Pearl. Next, the group arrives at the [[Floaroma Town]] where they meet the daughter of the [[Valley Windworks]] Manager whose father had gone missing. They go to the Windworks to find out what happened and is attacked by a [[Mars|mysterious woman]]. Platinum watches as she defeats Diamond and Pearl and escapes with a windmill. After watching the two boys risk their lives, she gains a new set of respect for them and starts calling them by their first names.

After an adventure in the [[Old Chateau]], Platinum and her traveling companions meet [[Gardenia]], the [[Eterna City]] Gym Leader. After getting acquainted with her, Platinum begins training for her next Gym battle; the training causes Piplup, Chimler, and Tru to evolve into their first stage forms. They meet [[Cynthia]], a passerby that had witnessed the evolution of their Pokémon who offers to help her with her Gym training. Next, Platinum challenges the Gym where she battles against Gardenia. Platinum manages to defeat her after taking advantage of Gardenia's battle strategy. They are given bikes by [[Rad Rickshaw]] who believes that they had rescued him from the clutches of [[Team Galactic]] and with the help of Diamond and Pearl, she learns how to ride it.

Next, the group travels to [[Mt. Coronet]] where they are attacked by [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic because they were annoying him. After being rescued from the rubble by Diamond and a [[Rayhiko|wild Luxray]], they arrive at [[Hearthome City]] where enters the [[Super Contest]]. After a misunderstanding, the audience decides to sabotage Platinum's performance and she becomes discouraged. Despite the initial trouble, with some encouragement from Diamond, Platinum is able to win the contest; she then takes Diamond and Pearl to accept the ribbon together, as they helped her through it. They later meet the Hearthome Gym Leader, [[Fantina]], and she takes them to the [[Lost Tower]] where Platinum watches two Trainers battle against some Pokémon.
[[File:Platinum dress.png|thumb|right|200px|Platinum during a Super Contest]]
After separating from Fantina, Platinum, Diamond, and Pearl arrive in [[Solaceon Town]], where they meet the [[Pokémon News Press]] and help a pair of {{p|Unown}} find their friends in the [[Solaceon Ruins]]. After arriving at [[Veilstone City]], Platinum finds the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], and mistakes it for a hotel. Platinum develops a slight gambling addiction and continues playing the slots until Diamond and Pearl find her and take her to the hotel they were staying at. After practicing with an item that Platinum had won at the slots, they almost hit a young woman with an {{m|Ember}} fired by Chimler. The girl introduces herself to them as the Veilstone Gym Leader, [[Maylene]], and accepts Platinum's Gym challenge. Later, at the Gym, Platinum, Diamond, and Pearl go through the Gym and they eventually get to Maylene's location. As they begin battling, Platinum is shocked to find out that her Pokédex has gone missing and without it, she is unable to concentrate. After Diamond (who she had sent to find her Pokédex) reports to Pearl that he had found the Pokédex, he and Platinum get into a brief argument about Platinum breaking her promise to not go back to the Game Corner. Platinum quickly regains her composure and is able to defeat Maylene and reveals that she had never gone back to the Game Corner, but was almost tempted to.

After they walk in the dark streets of Veilstone after defeating Maylene, Platinum is knocked out by two unknown figures (actually her real bodyguards, Paka and Uji) and taken to the [[Veilstone Department Store]]. Eventually, she wakes up while Diamond, Pearl, Paka, and Uji battle Team Galactic outside and decides to work out with the exercise equipment she found inside of it.

Later, after the conflict with Team Galactic is resolved, Platinum, Diamond, and Pearl travel to Lake Valor, where they meet [[Dr. Footstep]]. After a wild {{p|Hippowdon}} sends them flying, Platinum and Diamond land near the lake and are attacked by two {{tc|Scientist}}s that were preventing anyone from going near it. They eventually defeat the scientists and meet up with Pearl and Dr. Footstep.

Later, at the [[Great Marsh]], Platinum, Diamond, and Pearl try and capture some Pokémon for Platinum to use in her Gym battle against the [[Pastoria City]] Gym Leader, [[Crasher Wake]]. After a series of failed events, Platinum just opts for borrowing Diamond's Tru and goes to the Gym despite being covered in mud. Platinum goes through the Gym, reaches Crasher Wake, and after a tough battle, is able to defeat him with Tru.

They later travel to the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}} where they meet up with Cynthia again and help her with a {{p|Psyduck}} outbreak on [[Sinnoh Route 210|Route 210]]. They meet Cynthia's grandmother and follow her to the [[Celestic Town]] so that they can see the ruins. The ruins are attacked by the leader of Team Galactic, Cyrus, who battles Diamond and Pearl while Platinum and Cynthia's grandmother watch from the sidelines. After Cyrus makes his leave, Platinum and the others meet up with Fantina again and fly to her Gym at Hearthome City. After some training, Platinum challenges the Gym where she finds some difficulty because of the Gyms challenge forcing Trainers to think logically with math problems and then dropping that logic while facing Fantina. Fantina has her {{p|Mismagius}} create confusing illusions during the battle, causing the knowledgeable and logical Platinum to get painful headache. With some encouragement from Pearl, Platinum manages to overcome the illusion and is able to defeat Fantina.

Soon after, Platinum and the others find a news report on Fantina's television about Professor Rowan and his assistant, Platinum's father, having gone missing. Platinum, worried about her father, immediately sets off to [[Canalave City]], the place where they went missing, and ends up in the [[Canalave Gym]] after hearing her fathers voice inside of it. There, the group meets Gym Leader [[Byron]] and Platinum, believing him to be the cause of her fathers disappearance, attacks and easily defeats his Pokémon. After some clearing up, Platinum finds out that Byron did in fact, not kidnap the scientists, but is instead trying to figure out how to free them from a special cage that a [[Cloaked Grunt|Galactic Grunt]] had trapped them in.
[[File:Platinum new clothes.png|file|thumb|230px|Platinum's new clothes]]
Platinum goes to talk to her father and Professor Rowan and is shocked to find out that Diamond and Pearl are not her true bodyguards and that they have been lying to her the whole time. Needing some time to think, Platinum runs off; later that night, Platinum approached by the Cloak Grunt while sleeping, he frees the Professor and Platinum's father and reveals Team Galactic's plans to her. The next day, after Diamond and Pearl have revealed everything to Byron, Professor Rowan, and Sir Berlitz and are about to leave, Platinum stops them, reads a letter that is filled with apologies for every time she has lied to them and finally tells them her full name.

Ignoring her father's protests, Platinum decides that she, Diamond, and Pearl shall split up to save the Legendary Pokémon from the clutches of Team Galactic. After receiving the Mine Badge from Byron, Platinum sets off to northern area, [[Snowpoint City]] which holds [[Lake Acuity]]. The next morning, while in a hotel, Platinum sheds tears over to the fact that the sound her Pokédex makes when it is near Diamond and Pearl's, the "morning sound", is not playing, showing that she is truly alone for the first time.

After arriving at [[Sinnoh Route 216|Route 216]], Platinum decides to try skiing and accidentally ends up angering a group of {{p|Graveler}} on her first attempt. She manages to get away from them but gets caught in the snowstorm and almost freezes to death before being saved by Snowpoint Gym Leader, [[Candice]]. After putting on her new coat, Platinum notices Maylene walking through the snow and joins her while she gives her a tour of Snowpoint. After Maylene tells Platinum about Lake Acuity, she runs off to the [[Snowpoint Gym]] to get permission to go there by Candice.

After literally plowing her way through the Gyms challenge, Platinum reaches Candice and begins battling her. Though Platinum starts off with the advantage, things quickly get bad for her but she eventually manages to defeat Candice with the help of her newest team member, {{p|Lopunny}}. After receiving the Icicle Badge from Candice, she and Maylene join Platinum in her goal to stop Team Galactic from blowing up the three lakes. After taking a shortcut, they all eventually make it to Lake Acuity where they are confronted by one of the Team Galactic Commanders, [[Jupiter]]. Despite their best efforts, Jupiter is far too powerful for any of them to handle and are subsequently defeated. Jupiter succeeds in capturing {{p|Uxie}} while Platinum is forced to take Candice, Maylene, and herself to a [[Snowpoint Temple|mysterious temple]] while she has her Rapidash use his flames to protect them from the cold. Before falling unconscious, Platinum hears the sound of a Pokémon and tries to capture it in case it tries to attack them but falls asleep before she can; her Poké Ball then rolls into the temple, revealing a mysterious {{p|Regigigas|silhouette}}.

[[File:Berlitz crest.png|thumb|left|200px|Platinum's brooch with her family crest on it]]
Later, Platinum wakes up in the Snowpoint Pokémon Center with no idea as to how she got there. Deciding to get stronger, Candice calls Byron and tells him to send a strong person to train them for a rematch with Jupiter. They go to the [[Spring Path]] to meet up with their tutor, the Sunyshore Gym Leader, [[Volkner]]. Due to a misunderstanding, Volkner loses interest in training them but with some begging from Platinum, he changes his mind and agrees to help while also making the training a Gym Battle.

After finishing her training and receiving the Beacon Badge, Platinum rushes off to the [[Galactic Veilstone Building]] while Candice and Maylene stay behind to finish their training. Platinum manages to easily sneak inside thanks to a previously laid distraction made by Pearl and begins searching for the [[Lake guardians]]. As she searches, her Pokédex begins ringing the morning sound, telling Platinum that Pearl and Diamond are somewhere nearby. Platinum manages to maneuver through a room filled with smoke and a loud painful noise created by the battle with Diamond and the Cloaked Grunt and reaches the container that has Uxie locked inside of it but is trapped inside with the Cloaked Grunt's {{p|Cradily}}. Realizing the Cloaked Grunt's obsession with the Pokédex will be his weakness, Diamond commands the other two to sacrifice their Pokédexes in order to distract them. Though painful at first, they do it, distracting the Cloaked Grunt's Pokémon long enough for all three to press the button that would release {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}.

Cynthia finds the three lying on the ground, knocked unconscious from the light that the Lake guardians created, and hastily takes them to the [[Spear Pillar]]. While traveling on [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], Platinum gives Diamond a {{p|Mamoswine}} that he names Moo and reveals her newly earned Icicle and Beacon Badges. They eventually reach the Spear Pillar and the effect of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s battle causes time and space to distort around them. While Diamond and Pearl battle Dialga and Palkia, Platinum and Cynthia find the Gym Leaders, all knocked out from a previous battle by Cyrus. Candice, Gardenia, and Maylene all manage to wake up and give Platinum a {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, and {{p|Pachirisu}} but an attack fired from Dialga and Palkia breaks their Poké Balls, preventing them from being used. The attack causes a scroll that Cynthia was holding to fall out; Platinum picks it up and is able to read the archaic text on it that reveals the powers of Dialga and Palkia.

Time and Space begin to distort even further, sending people and Pokémon to random locations, even sending Dr. Footstep to the Spear Pillar. A black hole begins to form in the sky and begins sucking everyone into it while Platinum, Pearl, and Diamond try to keep the unconscious Gym Leaders from being sucked into it. As Diamond battles Dialga and Palkia with his newly acquired {{p|Regigigas}} and gives a speech on his view of Time and Space, Platinum realizes that his words are causing an imbalance on the Red Chain that is controlling the dragons. Platinum commands Diamond and Pearl to attack Dialga and Palkia at full power and they succeed in destroying the Red Chain, freeing them from Cyrus's control. Dialga and Palkia defeat Cyrus and the Sinnoh Pokédex holders celebrate their victory with a fist bump while Cynthia, Dialga and Palkia smile right next to them.

With Cyrus defeated and Platinum being on the Spear Pillar, she manages to make the crest that she had set out to do at the beginning of the seventh chapter. Platinum learns of the fate of her original bodyguards from Diamond and Pearl and decides that she has to go rescue them. As they go to take the Gym Leaders and Cyrus to the hospital, Diamond spots someone spying on them with a strange machine. Byron, the [[Underground Man]], Sir Berlitz, and Professor Rowan, all emerge from the ground and when Byron takes the machine from the man, it causes {{p|Giratina|mysterious black tentacles}} to shoot from the black hole and pull Dialga, Palkia, and the unconscious Cyrus into it. The man introduces himself as [[Charon]] and makes his escape; Diamond's [[Tung]] manages to steal a notebook from him just before he disappears from view.

Next, Platinum's mother, Professor Yanase Berlitz, is seen on a ship and receives a call from Platinum. She tells her daughter that they have found where Paka and Uji may have been sent to, the [[Distortion World]].

The eighth chapter opens up with Platinum writing a letter to her mother that reveals that she is going to the [[Battle Zone]] alone while Diamond and Pearl are investigating the notes that were taken from Charon. She buys a [[villa]] and decides to use it as her base of operations. Platinum notices someone approaching her and attacks with her Lopunny; the person is revealed to be member of the International Police, [[Looker]]. They team up so that they can gather information about the Distortion World from the people in the Battle Zone.

After an accident involving Lady [[Caitlin]], Platinum decides to challenge the [[Battle Castle]] first. They travel to the Battle Castle and Platinum starts her challenge of the facility. At first, it seems like Platinum can easily get through the challenge but starts getting worried when she learns she has to manage her Castle Points, and as a rich young woman, managing is something she has never done before. Eventually, she manages to reach the Frontier Brain, [[Castle Valet Darach]], and does battle with him. Despite initial trouble, she manages to defeat him, learning how to manage her assets in the process.

After winning her first [[commemorative print]], she and Looker are introduced to [[Buck]], who had overheard them talking about [[Stark Mountain]]. Buck takes a picture of Team Galactic and goes to Stark Mountain under the belief that they are sneaking around there to capture the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Heatran}} while Platinum and Looker go back to the villa to decide what their next plan is. The next morning, Platinum goes to the [[Battle Arcade]] after being entranced by the odd music of the Battle Arcade's spokesman.

She goes through the Battle Arcade easily thanks to the skills she had gained by playing on the slots in Veilstone City. Eventually she reaches the Frontier Brain, [[Arcade Star Dahlia]], and begins battling her. Due to an unexpected earthquake, Platinum is unable to press the button that signifies the event the battle will have and Dahlia does it instead. The roulette stops on the Pokémon swap button, causing Platinum and Dahlia to switch their teams. Platinum, unable to harm her own Pokémon, has troubles fighting Dahlia but some words of encouragement from the Arcade Star allow her to turn the battle around and defeat her.

After thanking her injured Pokémon, Dahlia gives her the commemorative print and takes her to [[Factory Head Thorton|Thorton]], another Frontier Brain that knows more about the Distortion World than she does. When they try to talk to him, the videophone's reception breaks up, preventing Platinum from getting the information she needed. Platinum decides to go and challenge the Battle Factory and meet up with Thorton in person instead.

Before going to the Battle Factory, Platinum reveals that she chose that location not because of the fact that she can get the information she needed, but instead because of the fact that the Battle Factory uses Rental Pokémon. Having waited five hours since Looker left for Stark Mountain, a worried Platinum takes her newly-healed {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Froslass}}, and {{p|Cherrim}} from the storage system and sends them and her other three Pokémon off to help Looker.

Afterwards, she challenges the Battle Factory and is determined to win for Looker and her Pokémon. Eventually, Platinum reaches the final match and meets Thorton but is taken aback by his quirky nature. Despite Thorton's belief that knowledge is important in battles, Platinum proves that her knowledge is far more superior and defeats him. After receiving the commemorative print, Platinum meets the two remaining Frontier Brains, [[Tower Tycoon Palmer]] and [[Hall Matron Argenta]].

Next, Platinum challenges the Battle Hall and faces Argenta in battle. It is revealed that after meeting Palmer and Argenta, her Pokémon had returned from Stark Mountain with a heavily injured Looker and Buck with them. With the Froslass she received from Candice, Platinum succeeds in defeating Argenta, much to Palmer's surprise. After receiving her fourth print, Palmer takes her to a room with Darach, Thorton, and [[Riley]] inside.

Touched by their determination to help her despite the Battle Frontier losing its connection to the Sinnoh mainland, Platinum is reminded of her times with Diamond and Pearl. After talking to Palmer, she figures out that he is Pearl's father and compliments the skills he passed onto his son, embarrassing Palmer in the process.

==Trivia==
* In the beginning of the Diamond & Pearl chapter of Pokémon Adventures, there were some moments where Platinum's first name was actually said, but her first name was always covered by another speech bubble to show that it was drowned out by that person's speech.
* Platinum is one of three Pokédex holders to have a known last name, the other two are {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}. Out of the three, she is the only one not to share her last name with an in-game [[Pokémon Professor|professor]], as she is not related to one.
* Platinum is the only female Pokédex holder who does not name her Pokémon.
* [[James]], [[Juan]] and [[Selphy]] also have butlers named Sebastian.

==Hey==
I see you have been adding Pokémon that appeared in [[M14]] in articles. 1. The Movie has already aired so you should put "This (Pokémon) made an appearance in M14" or something along those lines. 2. The Pokémon's appearance was minor so it should go under the minor appearances section not major apperances section. Please keep this in mind when editing. Have a good day.

== Edit warring ==

I told you when I first reverted you to take it up with Kenji-girl. Now you've reverted me twice, which leads to an edit war. Don't do it again please.

::You added it, I reverted, you added it back, I removed it, you added it back, I took it off again. You reverted me twice. And no, edit warring refers to a constant reversion or addition that was removed, but is constantly being added in, which leads to a block depending on how bad it is. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''P S Y''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 20:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Joe (EP009)

2011-08-30T11:46:46Z

Emeraldben: Undo revision 1503322 by Guille Skye (talk)

'''Joe''' (Japanese: '''ジュン''' ''Jun'') is a young man who once attended the [[Pokémon Tech]] school between [[Cerulean City]] and [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Joe.png|thumb|200px|Joe of Pokémon Tech]]
Joe appeared as a [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. His Japanese voice actress is ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]'' and his English voice actress is [[Kayzie Rogers]].

{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} were lost in a forest when they happened upon Joe, who was being quizzed on facts about {{p|Pidgey}} while being forced to run on a treadmill. Ash thought he was being bullied, so he chased the older children away. Joe explained that he was a student at [[Pokémon Tech]], a school that teaches students how to [[Pokémon training|train]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Joe is on the bottom of the beginner class and the other kids were tutoring him before Ash showed up. Apparently, Joe actually knew everything about Pidgey and its evolutions, but was pretending to be ignorant so he wouldn't have to work harder. Ash demanded to know who was responsible for the "tutoring" program, and Joe showed him a picture of a pretty young girl named [[Giselle]]. It seemed that Joe had a crush on Giselle, despite her harsh treatment.

Joe took Ash and his friends to the campus and showed them around. He explained that graduates of the school are allowed to compete in the [[Pokémon League]] without having to challenge [[Gym Leader]]s or collect [[badge]]s. As a beginner, Joe had the skills of someone with about two badges. He felt obligated to remain at Pokémon Tech because his parents paid so much to get him in. Joe then demonstrated some of the tools the school offered, such as a [[Pokémon battle]] simulator that appeared to resemble the [[Pokémon games|Pokémon video games]]. Misty was annoyed by this, thinking that simulation can't make up for the real thing, and proved this by defeating Joe in a Pokémon battle, Joe using his Weepinbell and Misty using her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, despite the {{type2|Water}} disadvantage on her part versus a {{type2|Grass}}.

After witnessing [[Ash's Pikachu]] defeat Giselle's {{p|Cubone}}, Joe was finally convinced that he should leave Pokémon Tech, deciding to try to collect badges instead. He and Giselle bid farewell, promising to meet again some day.

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Joe's Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:
{{TrainerPoké
|trainer=Joe
|pkmn=Weepinbell
|type1=Grass
|type2=Poison
|img=Joe Weepinbell.png
|epnum=EP009
|epname=The School of Hard Knocks
|desc={{p|Weepinbell}} is Joe's only known Pokémon and very little is known about it. It was shown only very briefly when it was sent out by Joe to fight [[Misty's Starmie]]. It was knocked out with only one hit from Starmie's {{m|Water Gun}}, despite having a type advantage. It was never seen using any moves.}}

{{vatable|color={{grass color}}|bordercolor={{poison color light}}
|ja=''[[Rikako Aikawa]]''
|en=[[Kayzie Rogers]]
|es_eu=Sara Vivas
|es_la=Uraz Huerta
}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Joe Giselle EToP.png|thumb|right|Joe and [[Giselle]] in the manga]]
Joe makes a cameo appearance in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. He and [[Giselle]] attend a performance by [[Duplica]] and her {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

==Trivia==
* Like Giselle, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} based on Joe appears in {{game|Yellow}}; a {{tc|Camper|Jr. Trainer♂}} with a Weepinbell is on {{rt|6|Kanto}}, which, like Pokémon Tech in the anime, is between Cerulean City and Vermilion City. He is seen talking to a [[Giselle|female Jr. Trainer♀ with a Cubone]].
* He shares his Japanese name with {{an|Barry}}.

Stop this politically correct bullcrap. It's black, not dark. Clearly. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:08, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

::Dark sounds cooler. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:52, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Wouldn't it make more sense to use black? You know... Black & White...? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 07:38, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
::::Cooler or not, it's not very correct. And Kenji's got a point here. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:33, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
They used the term ''kuroki'', not ''kuroi'' (which is specifically black-colored). It's intended to be a metaphor, I guess. - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] 16:04, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::I ''do'' agree on this. It should be black, it's not that I'm Japanese but I tried to get every single translation of kuroki and I got "Black" as a conclusion. So, it should be Black but I don't want to move the article without an admin's confirmation. So, What do you say? ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 16:47, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::The article won't be moved if we decide on black. But really. Obviously the "Dark Hero" is Zekrom, the Deep-'''Black''' Pokémon. Hence, it should be Black Hero. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
:::::::So is it a case of that the title can be translated multiple ways? I'm just after finishing watching [[BW011]] by the #blackandwhitesubs fansub group, and they translated the movie title in the preview as ''Dark Hero''... '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 07:46, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
::::::::Under the influence of Serebii or Bulbapedia (or other big fansite). Don't really trust fans that much, even fansub groups often take informations from major Pokémon websites and communities. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:24, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

== Release Date ==

[http://sylphys.ddo.jp/upld2nd/manani2/src/1292319176976.jpg]

According to Corocoro the release date is July 16.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 01:55, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Well thanks whoever added it.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 01:59, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

== Two M14 Pages? ==

Shouldn't there be two Movie 14 Pages? I'm pretty sure Victini & The White Hero- Reshiram is confirmed, seeing as how CoroCoro is an official source. Regardless, making two pages would make sense, even if the two movies are conjoined in some way.[[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] 21:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
:It's not confirmed. They are most likely the same movie. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:51, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
::I think we can few days more for the confirmation, since the official site already has a count down set. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 23:02, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Well, PokéBeach just added CoroCoro Scans. Has there not been any change here because these are leaks and CoroCoro hasn't officially been released in Japan yet? Also, since information about the Victini Download is shown on the M14 Page, CoroCoro also said that Victini holds the Fire Jewel, is inside a Cherish Ball and has a Wish Ribbon. As with before, it knows V-Generate as well. Just thought I'd bring that up as well.[[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] 01:44, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
:::: Adding on to what others have said, lets compile the evidence:
*Two seperate posters pictured in Corocoro
*Corocoro states there will be two "versions" of the movie
[[User:Mewtwo777|I am Darth Mewtwo... Fear me, and my team made entirely of Mewtwo!!!]]

[http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/index.html Pretty much confirmed now.] - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] 04:47, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
:They're probably two versions of the same movie, so it doesn't technically need two different pages. [[User:J-J-M|'''J''']]'''-'''[[User talk:J-J-M|'''J''']]'''-'''[[Special:Contributions/J-J-M|'''M''']] 15:12, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

==Movie Takes Place...When?==

I think everyone's thought of this at one point or another. When DOES this film (or these films, whatever) take place? According to the original TV schedule, it would have been released between BW039 and BW040, had the two-part Rocket-dan vs Plasma-dan episode not been skipped. NOW they will be released between BW041 and BW042--right smack-dab in a mini-arc. What do you guys think? And should we make a mention of this in the article? --[[User:Skulblaka Shurtugal|Long Live Pokémon! --Skulblaka Shurtugal]] 18:22, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

==Differences... not so much?==
It looks like Dread Grangil has both Reuniclus and Gothitelle all along in both movies. [http://sunyshore.com/m14_book05.jpg Look at this scan], you can see him in the snow town with Reuniclus and in the desert with Gothitelle, the opposite of what we knew. It seems that Shade and Aude appear in both movies too, so I think these two movies might just be two perspectives of the exact same story, not even two retellings of a similar story. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 06:46, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

==Canon?==
So because the movies are ''both'' there and considered canon, which one has the ''real'' events that would actually happen in the Pokémon continuity? [[User:Peanut64|Peanut64]]
:Movies are almost never considered canon. Characters almost never recollect anything from movies except maybe in later movies ([[M12]].) Movies typically are made for: 1. Legendary eye candy, 2.

::That isnt true (I mean the canon bit, obviously their sole existance is to make lots of cash). Movies are no different to filler episodes, which are considered canon. Until Reshiram, Zekrom or Victini appear in an episode, its too early to know for certain which one is canon. For all we know, they could bring out a third version.

Emeraldben:

==Um, o.O==
"The most spectacular behavior of the Charizard occurs during the breeding season. In the wild, a male in control of a territory will send blasts of fire-breath into the sky. This is a signal to females and rivals alike that the resident male is fit, strong, and confident enough to use his fire for a mere display. When a female accepts the male, the two fly high into the sky, lock talons and plummet into a dizzying dive. They break apart only a few meters from the ground, combining the passion of mating with the thrill of freefall. After the female lays her eggs, the two parents take turns guarding them and keeping them warm with their flame."

== Trapinch ==

How is it fail? I did just say that not all Pokemon are introduced in the next generation following when they were designed... The Gastrodons are evidence of that, having been designed in third generation and introduced in fourth. The same is true for Trapinch, which was originally intended to be the pre-evolution of Charizard, but was discarded and reintroduced later on as a Bug type. [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 06:01, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
:Umm... Proof??? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

:The thing is, they ''said so'' in an interview that Shellos and Gastrodon were initially to be in Gen III. Nothing at all indicates Trapinch is related in any way to Charizard, especially considering the fact that, as the starters, it's highly likely they were among the first evolutionary lines finalized. Pokémon Red and Green came out in 1996, and were being worked on for six whole years beforehand. Ruby and Sapphire came out in 2003. Sure, there's possibility that maybe Trapinch was intended for Gen I, but there's possibility Ambipom was too. There's possibility that Mewthree really exists, and that Missingno. is really a SUPER HYPER LEGENDARYYYYYY. Except not. We didn't even acknowledge Giratina as part of the dragon trio until shortly before Platinum.
:Now, where's this concept art with Trapinch and Charizard together? Hm? Any proof at all? Because going by the Red and Green sprites is just... no.
:And by the way, Trapinch is a {{type2|Ground}}. It doesn't become Ground/Bug until it evolves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:10, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

:::I never said that there was concept art of them together, just concept art that highly suggests a relationship between the two... I also never said I was going by sprites, so I don't know where you got that from, and whether or not it's a Bug type in its first stage or second is semantics and shouldn't be brought up at all. We're not here to argue, but to discuss. [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 06:15, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Gotta Catch 'em All!]]."

===Character===
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon master|Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateurish [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire-type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr|his friends}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}, {{OBP|Latias|movie 5}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|movie 11}}, {{an|Giratina}}, {{an|Arceus}}, {{OBP|Victini|movie 14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|movie 14}} and {{OBP|Zekrom|movie 14}}. In the English dub of the [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well.
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against [[Tobias]], becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

Ash competed in the [[Don Battle]] in [[BW039]]-[[BW042]]. He battled against [[Burgundy]] and her {{p|Stoutland}} in the first round and won using his {{AP|Palpitoad}}. He then battled [[Langley]] and her {{p|Pawniard}} in [[BW040]]. Ash used his {{AP|Snivy}}. Altough she struggled at first, Snivy managed to defeat Pawniard and advance Ash to the next round. Next, in [[BW042]], Ash battled [[Dino]] and his {{p|Darumaka}} with his Palpitoad again and won easily. In the final round, Ash went up against {{an|Iris}} and her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}. Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}}, but lost the match and became runner-up in the tournament. He didn't feel bad, though, and was happy to see Iris win the tournament.

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father was never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to Ash's further maturity and development as a Trainer.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}} and {{an|Iris}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

===Pokémon===
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

====Currently in rotation====
In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon with ones that are being stored at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon.]]
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types.
** This excludes the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-typed {{t|Water}}/{{type2|Psychic}}.
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Gotta Catch 'em All!]]."

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon master|Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateurish [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire-type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr|his friends}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}, {{OBP|Latias|movie 5}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|movie 11}}, {{an|Giratina}}, {{an|Arceus}}, {{OBP|Victini|movie 14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|movie 14}} and {{OBP|Zekrom|movie 14}}. In the English dub of the [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well.
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against [[Tobias]], becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

Ash competed in the [[Don Battle]] in [[BW039]]-[[BW042]]. He battled against [[Burgundy]] and her {{p|Stoutland}} in the first round and won using his {{AP|Palpitoad}}. He then battled [[Langley]] and her {{p|Pawniard}} in [[BW040]]. Ash used his {{AP|Snivy}}. Altough she struggled at first, Snivy managed to defeat Pawniard and advance Ash to the next round. Next, in [[BW042]], Ash battled [[Dino]] and his {{p|Darumaka}} with his Palpitoad again and won easily. In the final round, Ash went up against {{an|Iris}} and her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}. Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}}, but lost the match and became runner-up in the tournament. He didn't feel bad, though, and was happy to see Iris win the tournament.

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father was never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to Ash's further maturity and development as a Trainer.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}} and {{an|Iris}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

===Pokémon===
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

====Currently in rotation====
In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon with ones that are being stored at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

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

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon.]]
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types.
** This excludes the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-typed {{t|Water}}/{{type2|Psychic}}.
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Gotta Catch 'em All!]]."

===Character===
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon master|Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateurish [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire-type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr|his friends}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}, {{OBP|Latias|movie 5}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|movie 11}}, {{an|Giratina}}, {{an|Arceus}}, {{OBP|Victini|movie 14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|movie 14}} and {{OBP|Zekrom|movie 14}}. In the English dub of the [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well.
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against [[Tobias]], becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

Ash competed in the [[Don Battle]] in [[BW039]]-[[BW042]]. He battled against [[Burgundy]] and her {{p|Stoutland}} in the first round and won using his {{AP|Palpitoad}}. He then battled [[Langley]] and her {{p|Pawniard}} in [[BW040]]. Ash used his {{AP|Snivy}}. Altough she struggled at first, Snivy managed to defeat Pawniard and advance Ash to the next round. Next, in [[BW042]], Ash battled [[Dino]] and his {{p|Darumaka}} with his Palpitoad again and won easily. In the final round, Ash went up against {{an|Iris}} and her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}. Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}}, but lost the match and became runner-up in the tournament. He didn't feel bad, though, and was happy to see Iris win the tournament.

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father was never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to Ash's further maturity and development as a Trainer.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}} and {{an|Iris}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

===Pokémon===
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

====Currently in rotation====
In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon with ones that are being stored at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

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

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon.]]
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types.
** This excludes the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-typed {{t|Water}}/{{type2|Psychic}}.
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.

== Nav Bar ==
Hi!
I was just wondering what the language is for your navigation bar? I wanted to have one to but I can't seem the find out how to make one. PLZ REPLY?
Shockfisher
:[[User:Werdnae/Nav|My nav bar]], like all pages on the wiki, is written in [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode|Wikicode]]. Wikicode involves a fair amount of html as well. Aside from that help page I linked, the best way to figure out how to use it yourself is to try it. Copy the code, remove a bit and preview. Whatever no longer works is what that bit of code does. I would appreciate it if you didn't just copypaste my coding and then save though. I'd rather you figure out how it works and remake it in your own style. Just remember that the page for your nav bar is in your userspace, so the one edit per day limit includes that page - you'll have to wait until the next server day to add the navbar to your main userpage. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:41, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

== Questions ==

2 of 'em-

(1) How do you make your userpage backround bulba color dark?
(2) How do you make your userbox so it has [show] and [hide] options?
After I learn how to, this will be my final major edit to my u page. And I'll focus 100% on my edits (Before was like 45%.) Thanks twice- ♣♣ ''[[User:Focus58|Ƒǿҫὑṩ]] [[User talk:Focus58|❺❽]]'' ♣♣ 20:52, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
:# Put a table or div that covers the whole page with the style "<code><nowiki>background: #{{bulba color dark}};</nowiki></code>". If you need to, copy the coding for the exterior border on my talk page, remove the border bit and add that coding to it.
:# They userboxes are in a table with the class "expandable" (defaults to closed) or "collapsible" (defaults to open). Each row that should always show as a header for the following hidden bit should also have the expandable/collapsible class. Note that it doesn't work if the row has the class but the table as a whole doesn't, and you can mix-and-match the two in the same table. It still works if the table has expandable but every cell has collapsible, vice versa, or any other combination. Have a fiddle with the coding from my page if my explanation's a bit confusing. That said, I would appreciate if you didn't just copypaste my coding and then save. I'd rather you figure out how it works and add your own flair. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:41, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
::(1) Thanks, it works perfectly, BUT! I have coding for my userbox that I need to use a |} thing on so all of my page isn't stuck in my userbox, and the final product is a thick

----
that's colored bulba color dark with a dark color border (I meant for the border to happen.)
How can I fix it?
(2) I'll figure it out. Thanks times two! ♣♣ ''[[User:Focus58|Ƒǿҫὑṩ]] [[User talk:Focus58|❺❽]]'' ♣♣ 17:10, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
:::I assume you're using a table? You can have a table inside a table. Just make sure that all the content for the part of the page is inside a cell of the outer table. If it's not in a cell then it won't work properly. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 07:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
::::Sorry for the late update. I gave up for now. I'll keep working on the expandable thing, but I need a cheat sheet or something. I would just look on wikipedia but I can't go on that. Also, I think a "bad grammar" template would be great. Draft:

<code><nowiki>{| align="center" style="background: #{{rock color}}; border: 3px solid #{{poison color}}; width: 90%; {{roundy|40px}}"
|-
| style="background:#{{water color light}}; padding: 10px; {{roundy|50px}}" align="center" | [[Image:049Venomoth.png|100px]]
| '''This {{{1|article}}} is exhibiting many grammatical errors. Please feel free to refine the grammar in this article and enhance Bulbapedia's viewer's experiences. Bulbapedia thanks you.
|}</nowiki></code>.

I think this template would be helpful because: One- It would let grammar and spelling freaks like myself flock to these pages and beautify them, and Two- It adds an alternative to Template:Rewording and Template: Cleanup. If you dislike the simplicity I will either try to "fancy it up" or wait eight years, go to college, take a class in computer programming, and try then. Or you'll do it. Thanks- ♣♣ ''[[User:Focus58|Ƒǿҫὑṩ]] [[User talk:Focus58|❺❽]]'' ♣♣ 23:25, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
:::::I've run it by a couple of other admins, and we feel that we don't really need either that or the reword one. If it's something simple, it can just be fixed when it's noticed - it's as much work to put on the template it as it is to fix. If it's extensive it probably needs a general cleanup too. IMO, Cleanup should be used where there's poor grammar, a reword is needed or it needs reformatting. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 10:24, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
::::::Ok, then. So much for that idea. But I need help again for something- I was looking at navs for ideas for my {{u|Focus58/Counterparts|own,}} and I saw yours. But it was covered with <nowiki>"<sc>...</sc>"</nowiki> Wuzzat? 2. {{tt|One last question-|I hope you have time to burn...}} I have {{u|Focus58/Counterparts|Another page}}, with a bluetable stolen from MAGNEDETH, and I have no idea what class="c" and class="l" are.

:::::::::One more {{tt|thing|For now...}}- I am working on an article, {{u|Focus58/List of Legendary Pokémon|List of Legendary Pokémon}}, but my template doesn't work.

Thank you! ♣♣ ''[[User:Focus58|Ƒǿҫὑṩ]] [[User talk:Focus58|❺❽]]'' ♣♣ 21:49, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
::::::::::Your template is only the rows. It doesn't have the header in it, (otherwise the rows would break). You need to open the table and put in the headers on the page itself. Basically, the template is telling it to put rows into a table which you haven't made exist on the page. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 21:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

:resetting indent If it's just going to be used on one page there's no point in a header template. Just put that code (without the noinclude tags) above the rest of the table. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:52, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

:::You're using the parameter for the name (parameter 2) to control the switcher, when the results are all expecting the parameter for the ndex number (parameter 1). [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:13, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
::::I don't get it... ♣♣ ''[[User:Focus58|Ƒǿҫὑṩ]] [[User talk:Focus58|❺❽]]'' ♣♣ 16:41, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
:::::The way it's set up, when you put <code><nowiki>{{User:Focus58/Lop/legendary|492S|Shaymin|[[Generation IV|Gen. IV]]}}</nowiki></code> on the page, the switcher is set to use the second parameter to determine the outcome. So it takes "Shaymin" and checks whether it matches any of the predetermined inputs. Since it doesn't, it defaults to displaying the first parameter (in this case 492S). You need to change that so that the switcher is using parameter 1, so it will use "492S" in that example.

== My Sig ==

Thank You so much for the signature help. I have one question though; how can a make a box to put my images in like for example that box that pokemon sprites are in on their own pages? PokePrincess 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)--PokePrincess 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC) PokePrincess

Thanks
:The coding for the current sprite box can be found [[Template:Sprite|here]], but when you actually include the coding for the subtemplates as well it's remarkably complex because it has to take into account a lot of different scenarios. If you simply want to make a coloured box to put sprites in, then you'd be better off using a simple table. Table basics can be found on [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode]], and I'd suggest looking at the coding for the table section for the background and border coding. Most of that coding is pretty self-explanatory, especially when combined with what the page content. Also, just a note that there's a restriction on when you can edit your userpage - there's a minimum time limit and a minimum mainspace edit limit. It's great to see you're working towards the mainspace edit limit, if you haven't already reached it (I don't know the exact numbers), But you may need to wait a couple of weeks before it will let you edit it. Further details on that can be found on the {{bp|Userspace policy}}.

:Also, could I get you to change your sig code in your preferences to <code><nowiki>[[User talk:PokePrincess|PokePrincess]]</nowiki></code> please? We need it to actually have a link. If you would like to further customise your sig feel free, just ask if you need help. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:02, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I am terribly sorry about my adding of trivia. I will punish myself and never do again. Besides what I am. How long will it be before I can edit my mainspace. [[User talk:PokePrincess|PokePrincess]] 00:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)--[[User talk:PokePrincess|PokePrincess]] 00:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
:The mainspace can be edited by anyone. The userspace has a time and edit limit, the exact number and length of which I don't know. If [[Special:Preferences]] says you're a member of autoconfirmed, you can edit it. Once you can, remember the one-edit-per-day limit though. If you want to test out how templates work, they work just as well in previews as they do when the page is saved, so there's no need to save the page.

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 08:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
:Make sure you're checking the "keep me logged in button". Assuming you are, it's probably just a glitch. It happens occasionally, and there isn't really anything we can do about it short term. Our server-side people are considering reconfiguring the setup, which will hopefully fix that bug and the session loss errors. For now, all you can really do is make sure you're checking the box and that your cookies are enabled (Maybe try clearing them too) and just waiting until it goes back to normal.

== Coral Sea ==

I just did a major edit on the [[Coral Sea]] page. I added a lot of detail (maybe too much) and I think it isn't a stub anymore. Also wondering should I tell admins this kind of stuff?

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 09:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
:It's no longer a stub, so you can remove the stub tags. When you do, you'll need to rewrite the stuff you added - Information in articles should always be in third person (the player, he, she, they) not second person (you). The difference is that third person is encyclopedic, while second person is more conversational - like a walkthrough. And for most articles, if you are sure it is no longer a stub, you don't need to ask to remove the tag. If it is a featured article, or you're unsure, you can ask any {{bp|Staff|staff member}}.

== Hi Werd ==

I've made [[User:MisterE13/Template:Trainerentry/Pokémon|some modifications]] to [[Template:Trainerentry/Pokémon]] and I was wondering what you thought.

The [[Z.Z. Flyer]] page is a stub but I looked at it and it's pretty long. Could you check and make sure that wasn't a mistake?

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 09:51, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
:You're correct, it's not a stub any more. It looks to me like that largest section does need a reword and breaking into paragraphs, so I've left the cleanup tag on for now. That can be removed once that's done though. Thanks for looking to improve the stubs. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 10:10, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

== Optimizing PNG Images ==

Hey, I've taken an interest in helping with the archives, one of the things I think could be useful would be if I uploaded new revisions of PNG files that have been optimized for the smallest file size (with no to very little quality difference), such as converting RGB PNG's to Indexed Color PNG's (custom palletes). Anime images are very indexed-color friendly, their size can be signifigantly shrunk with little, if no impact on quality. Is this something worth doing, and would it be alright if I performed such optimizations? It may help with bandwidth/space issues. [[User:GetOutOfBox|GetOutOfBox]] 23:21, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
:I'll bring it up with some of the other Archives staff members. While obviously smaller images will improve loading times and result in reduced bandwidth requirements, I don't think that's the main cause of the loading issues. For the record, space isn't (at least currently) an issue - every revision of every page is saved, even deleted ones. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
::Sure. The difference is that with many anime images, especially character images, there are only a few distinct colors used. Hence rather than encoding them in a PNG that uses the entire RGB colorspace, one could simply include palette containing the few colors the image uses. The difference can be very large, with no visual drop. I could give you a few links to comparisons if you'd like (I'll upload them on an external website for now). Obviously bandwidth isn't a large issue (I'm guessing server hardware is more often than not), but anything that could save bulbapedia some bandwidth would be helpful, especially for larger images.

== Link Template ==

I want to make a new link template, but I don't know how. I looked on the article about it but it wasn't any help. Also how do you know how to make certain templates for your userpage.

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 05:29, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
:What do you want to make the link template for? Templates for the userspace are mostly just tables Use the preview button and removing code to figure out the table coding is the first step. Then, anything in three braces is a parameter (e.g. <nowiki>{{{test|default}}}</nowiki> is a parameter called "test" which defaults to "default") Parameters can be used to alter the outcome over different pages. If the parameter name is a number, then it doesn't need to be named when the template is used, as long as it is that number in the template, counting only unnamed parameters. (That's probably really confusing. Have a look at existing templates to get a better idea.) Also, remember that templates for the userspace should be made in the userspace, so they count towards your limit. They only get moved to the templatespace if they become widely used. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 10:49, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Errrrr, is there a link to the template space for userspace templates, I don't know much wikicode.

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 14:35, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
:If you want to link to the templatespace, you can use the {{template|template}} template to easily format it like a template. If you want to use a template in the userspace, it works exactly as in the mainspace (just be careful not to include yourself in mainspace categories). Pages in the userspace can be included as templates by putting the full page name in braces, e.g. to include my nav template which is at the top of this page, I use <code><nowiki>{{User:Werdnae/Nav}}</nowiki></code>. If you're using a subpage as a template, then you can exclude the page it's included on from the call. e.g. on my userpage, the same template is called by <code><nowiki>{{/Nav}}</nowiki></code> Hope that helped.

== Axew ==

Axew and its evolutionary family are the only pure dragon evolutionary family where all the members are pure dragon. Shouldn't that be in the Trivia?

Make sure you mention that it's only for multi-member families, otherwise {{p|Druddigon}} says hi.

:At the moment. But for consistency it's fine. Just note in the edit summary that I gave you permission to add it, so that it doesn't get reverted.

== Talk Page ==

How does the talk page health thing work? Does it stay fixed or go up/down? Also how do you archive talk page stuff?

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 03:22, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
:The talk page health bar is a calculation based on the size of the page. The health goes down as the page increases in size, reaching empty when the page reaches 100kB. It's rather complicated, but the coding for mine is [[User:Werdnae/Archive|here]] if you want to reference it. To archive your talk page, use the "move" button at the top of the page to move it to a new name in your user talk space (e.g. User talk:Donyor/Archive 1) Then change the redirect that's left behind to a link to the archive. (The link to a list of my talk page archives is attached to the health bar at the top of the page) [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 10:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi!
I was just wondering what the language is for your navigation bar? I wanted to have one to but I can't seem the find out how to make one. PLZ REPLY?
Shockfisher
:[[User:Werdnae/Nav|My nav bar]], like all pages on the wiki, is written in [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode|Wikicode]]. Wikicode involves a fair amount of html as well. Aside from that help page I linked, the best way to figure out how to use it yourself is to try it. Copy the code, remove a bit and preview. Whatever no longer works is what that bit of code does. I would appreciate it if you didn't just copypaste my coding and then save though. I'd rather you figure out how it works and remake it in your own style. Just remember that the page for your nav bar is in your userspace, so the one edit per day limit includes that page - you'll have to wait until the next server day to add the navbar to your main userpage.

:# Put a table or div that covers the whole page with the style "<code><nowiki>background: #{{bulba color dark}};</nowiki></code>". If you need to, copy the coding for the exterior border on my talk page, remove the border bit and add that coding to it.

Each row that should always show as a header for the following hidden bit should also have the expandable/collapsible class. Note that it doesn't work if the row has the class but the table as a whole doesn't, and you can mix-and-match the two in the same table. It still works if the table has expandable but every cell has collapsible, vice versa, or any other combination. Have a fiddle with the coding from my page if my explanation's a bit confusing.

::::Sorry for the late update. I gave up for now. I'll keep working on the expandable thing, but I need a cheat sheet or something. I would just look on wikipedia but I can't go on that. Also, I think a "bad grammar" template would be great. Draft:

I think this template would be helpful because: One- It would let grammar and spelling freaks like myself flock to these pages and beautify them, and Two- It adds an alternative to Template:Rewording and Template: Cleanup.

Thank You so much for the signature help. I have one question though; how can a make a box to put my images in like for example that box that pokemon sprites are in on their own pages? PokePrincess 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)--PokePrincess 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC) PokePrincess

Thanks
:The coding for the current sprite box can be found [[Template:Sprite|here]], but when you actually include the coding for the subtemplates as well it's remarkably complex because it has to take into account a lot of different scenarios. If you simply want to make a coloured box to put sprites in, then you'd be better off using a simple table. Table basics can be found on [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode]], and I'd suggest looking at the coding for the table section for the background and border coding. Most of that coding is pretty self-explanatory, especially when combined with what the page content. Also, just a note that there's a restriction on when you can edit your userpage - there's a minimum time limit and a minimum mainspace edit limit. It's great to see you're working towards the mainspace edit limit, if you haven't already reached it (I don't know the exact numbers), But you may need to wait a couple of weeks before it will let you edit it. Further details on that can be found on the {{bp|Userspace policy}}.

When you do, you'll need to rewrite the stuff you added - Information in articles should always be in third person (the player, he, she, they) not second person (you). The difference is that third person is encyclopedic, while second person is more conversational - like a walkthrough.

== Optimizing PNG Images ==

Hey, I've taken an interest in helping with the archives, one of the things I think could be useful would be if I uploaded new revisions of PNG files that have been optimized for the smallest file size (with no to very little quality difference), such as converting RGB PNG's to Indexed Color PNG's (custom palletes). Anime images are very indexed-color friendly, their size can be signifigantly shrunk with little, if no impact on quality. Is this something worth doing, and would it be alright if I performed such optimizations? It may help with bandwidth/space issues. [[User:GetOutOfBox|GetOutOfBox]] 23:21, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
:I'll bring it up with some of the other Archives staff members. While obviously smaller images will improve loading times and result in reduced bandwidth requirements, I don't think that's the main cause of the loading issues. For the record, space isn't (at least currently) an issue - every revision of every page is saved, even deleted ones. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
::Sure. The difference is that with many anime images, especially character images, there are only a few distinct colors used. Hence rather than encoding them in a PNG that uses the entire RGB colorspace, one could simply include palette containing the few colors the image uses. The difference can be very large, with no visual drop. I could give you a few links to comparisons if you'd like (I'll upload them on an external website for now). Obviously bandwidth isn't a large issue (I'm guessing server hardware is more often than not), but anything that could save bulbapedia some bandwidth would be helpful, especially for larger images.

== Link Template ==

I want to make a new link template, but I don't know how. I looked on the article about it but it wasn't any help. Also how do you know how to make certain templates for your userpage.

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 05:29, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
:What do you want to make the link template for? Templates for the userspace are mostly just tables Use the preview button and removing code to figure out the table coding is the first step. Then, anything in three braces is a parameter (e.g. <nowiki>{{{test|default}}}</nowiki> is a parameter called "test" which defaults to "default") Parameters can be used to alter the outcome over different pages. If the parameter name is a number, then it doesn't need to be named when the template is used, as long as it is that number in the template, counting only unnamed parameters. (That's probably really confusing. Have a look at existing templates to get a better idea.) Also, remember that templates for the userspace should be made in the userspace, so they count towards your limit. They only get moved to the templatespace if they become widely used. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 10:49, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Errrrr, is there a link to the template space for userspace templates, I don't know much wikicode.

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 14:35, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
:If you want to link to the templatespace, you can use the {{template|template}} template to easily format it like a template. If you want to use a template in the userspace, it works exactly as in the mainspace (just be careful not to include yourself in mainspace categories). Pages in the userspace can be included as templates by putting the full page name in braces, e.g. to include my nav template which is at the top of this page, I use <code><nowiki>{{User:Werdnae/Nav}}</nowiki></code>. If you're using a subpage as a template, then you can exclude the page it's included on from the call. e.g. on my userpage, the same template is called by <code><nowiki>{{/Nav}}</nowiki></code> Hope that helped.

How does the talk page health thing work? Does it stay fixed or go up/down? Also how do you archive talk page stuff?

[[User talk:Donyor|Donyor, Origin Form]] 03:22, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
:The talk page health bar is a calculation based on the size of the page. The health goes down as the page increases in size, reaching empty when the page reaches 100kB. It's rather complicated, but the coding for mine is [[User:Werdnae/Archive|here]] if you want to reference it. To archive your talk page, use the "move" button at the top of the page to move it to a new name in your user talk space (e.g. User talk:Donyor/Archive 1) Then change the redirect that's left behind to a link to the archive.
