The '''Pokémon metagame''' has a wide range of '''fanmade terminology''' for various aspects of the games. These are colloquial terms originating from unofficial sources, and are not found within the games themselves.

==General terms==
===Baton Pass chain===
Refers to continuous use of the move {{m|Baton Pass}} and the accumulated [[Stats#Stat modifiers|stat changes]].

===Choice lock===
Refers to how the [[held item]]s {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}}, and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}} limit a Pokémon to use only one of its moves. A Pokémon is said to be "Choice locked" into a specific move if forced to use it by a Choice item.

===Clause===
[[Rule variants#Rules|Clauses]] refer to the various rules that are applied to battles, such as restrictions on which [[tier|Pokémon]], moves, and items may be used. Many of these rules are found in the games, applied in settings such as battle facilities and multiplayer features.

====Endless battle clause====
Refers to a ban on sets that have the capability of causing a battle with no possible ending. Found in some unofficial formats such as [[Smogon]] and {{OBP|Pokémon Online|battle simulator}}.

====Evasion clause====
Refers to a ban on moves that raise {{DL|Stats|evasion}} (such as {{m|Double Team}}). Does not necessarily put a ban on moves that reduce {{DL|Stats|accuracy}} (such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}) or moves/Abilities that merely have a possibility of raising evasion (such as {{m|Acupressure}}/{{a|Moody}}).

====Flinch clause====
Refers to technical measures to prevent a Pokémon from flinching twice in a row. Found in [[Pokémon Conquest]] and some battle simulators.

====Freeze clause====
Refers to technical measures taken in order to prevent multiple Pokémon on the same team from being {{status|Freeze|frozen}} at the same time. Found in games like {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and battle simulators like {{OBP|Pokémon Online|battle simulator}}.

====Item clause====
Refers to a ban on multiple Pokémon of the same team [[held item|holding]] the same item. Found in battle facilities and officially organized tournaments, but widely ignored in many large communities.

====Sleep clause====
Refers to a ban on the usage of sleep-inducing moves when one of the opponent's Pokémon has already been put to {{status|sleep}} by one of the user's Pokémon. As such, the move {{m|Rest}} and the Ability {{a|Effect Spore}} do not violate this ban. Found in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and battle simulators like [[Pokémon Showdown]] and {{OBP|Pokémon Online|battle simulator}}.

===Dry pass===
Using the move {{m|Baton Pass}} despite not having any stat boosts. Used to scout out the opponent's switches.

===Hax===
Refers to outcomes that are perceived as unlikely to the point of being unfair. Common targets are {{DL|Damage modification|critical hits}}, moves missing, being frozen, the success of secondary effects, and full {{status|paralysis}}. Can also refer to reliance on uncertain outcomes, such as the use of [[one-hit knockout move]]s or [[held item]]s like {{DL|In-battle effect item|Quick Claw}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, or {{DL|In-battle effect item|BrightPowder}}. Hax is, somewhat paradoxically, often associated with the Ability {{a|Serene Grace}}.

===HO===
Refers to hyper offense, or heavy offense, which is a team-building and battling strategy intended to overwhelm the opponent with offensive pressure.

===HP <type>===
Refers to the move {{m|Hidden Power}} and its [[type]] (e.g. HP Ice, HP Fire).

===IV battle===
Refers to a battle held solely for the purpose of observing the [[stats]] of one or more Pokémon as they appear when set to a higher level for the duration of the battle, thus making it easier to estimate the Pokémon's [[individual values]].

===Mono team===
Refers to a team with homogeneity in a certain area such as [[type]], [[List of Pokémon by color|color]], or [[generation]].

===Nerf===
When properties of a Pokémon or move are changed between games.

===Pinch Berry===
Refers to the {{b|Liechi}}, {{b|Ganlon}}, {{b|Salac}}, {{b|Petaya}}, {{b|Apicot}}, {{b|Lansat}}, and {{b|Starf}} Berries, which all raise a [[stat]] when the holding Pokémon's HP drops below ¼ (referred to as being in a pinch in the games). The {{b|Micle}} and {{b|Custap}} Berries may also be considered Pinch Berries.

===Pseudo-legendary Pokémon===
{{main|Pseudo-legendary Pokémon}}
Refers to the Pokémon {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Hydreigon}}, and {{p|Goodra}}.

===Spread===
Refers to how a Pokémon's [[EV]]s are spread across it's stats.

===Standard rules===

===Species-specific sets===
====Bellyzard====
Refers to a {{p|Charizard}} set that includes the move {{m|Belly Drum}}, the [[Ability]] {{a|Blaze}}, and an {{stat|HP}} stat that is divisible by 4. It is commonly assisted by a [[Salac Berry]] and/or the move {{m|Substitute}}. It has fallen out of favor since [[Generation IV]] due to {{m|Stealth Rock}}.

====Calmcune====

====Crocune====

====Curselax====
Refers to a {{p|Snorlax}} set that includes the moves {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Rest}}.

====Divecats====
A team in [[Generation V]] which features {{a|Prankster}} {{p|Liepard}} and/or {{p|Purrloin}} that know {{m|Assist}} and are holding a [[Lagging Tail]] or [[Full Incense]], with the only moves known by other Pokémon being {{cat|moves with a semi-invulnerable turn}} or moves that cannot be called by Assist. (If both Liepard and Purrloin are being used, they also cannot know any moves other than moves with a semi-invulnerable turn or moves that cannot be called by Assist.) Typically, {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Shadow Force}} are used (Shadow Force for being unable to be hit by any move, Dive to hit Normal types).

This setup means that Purrloin/Liepard will use the move Assist with +1 [[priority]], which calls a move with a semi-invulnerable turn. The next turn, they move at 0 priority (since they are now using a physical move, so Prankster doesn't apply), and move last due to the held Lagging Tail/Full Incense. Repeating this process, they wear down the opposing team and are very difficult to hit.

Starting in [[Generation VI]], Assist can no longer call moves with a semi-invulnerable turn. Players speculate that this was changed to specifically prevent Divecats.

====Drizzletoed====
Refers to a {{p|Politoed}} set that includes the [[Ability]] {{a|Drizzle}}.

====Droughttales====
Refers to a {{p|Ninetales}} set that includes the [[Ability]] {{a|Drought}}.

====Funbro====
Refers to a {{p|Slowbro}} with the moves {{m|Block}}, {{m|Heal Pulse}}, {{m|Recycle}}, and {{m|Slack Off}}, holding a [[Leppa Berry]]. This combination allows it to extend a non-timed battle indefinitely, leaving the opponent no recourse except to disconnect. Since all link battles are timed in Generation VI, this is only relevant in simulator battles and Generation V.

====Khan Artist====
Refers to {{me|Kangaskhan}} and {{p|Smeargle}} as the leads in a [[Double Battle]]. Typically, Smeargle knows {{m|Dark Void}} and Kangaskhan knows {{m|Fake Out}}, allowing significant first-turn disruption. Common in Generation VI VGC (2014 and 2015).

====Leadape====
Refers to an {{p|Infernape}} set that is sent out first, commonly including both [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s, {{m|Fake Out}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and the [[held item]] {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}.

====McIcegar====

====Scarfchomp====
Refers to a {{p|Garchomp}} set that includes the [[held item]] {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}}. It is featured in several battle facilities found in the games.

====Smogon-====
A prefix used to refer to extremely common Pokémon in the metagame, usually OU, that are considered to be broken or requiring little skill, and are apparently copied and pasted from Smogon pages. Examples include Smogonbird, referring to a {{p|Talonflame}} with {{a|Gale Wings}}; Smogonfrog, which referred to a {{p|Greninja}} with {{a|Protean}} prior to its ban; and Smogon Wash, referring to Wash {{p|Rotom}} (commonly called Rotom Wash in competitive circles).

====Specsmence====
Refers to a {{p|Salamence}} set that includes the [[held item]] {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}}.

====Stallrein====
Refers to a {{p|Walrein}} set that includes {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}, and {{a|Ice Body}}, intended for [[#Staller|stalling]] during a {{Weather|hail}}storm.

====Sturdinja====
Refers to a {{p|Shedinja}} with the Ability {{a|Sturdy}}. Usually set up in [[Double Battle|Double]] or [[Triple Battle]]s by using Ability switching moves.

====Techniloom====

====Terracott====
Refers to {{p|Terrakion}} (with the Ability {{a|Justified}}) and {{p|Whimsicott}} (with the move {{m|Beat Up}}) as the leads in a [[Double Battle]]. Typically, Whimsicott uses Beat Up on Terrakion, activating Terrakion's Justified Ability six times and raising its {{stat|Attack}} stages. Common in [[Generation V]] and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} VGC (2011-2013, 2015).

====TyraniBoah====
Refers to a {{p|Tyranitar}} set that includes both [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s, including the moves {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}.

== Problems with main page ==

I've been having a few issues with the main page. I can't click on the 'discussion', 'view source', 'history' or 'watch' buttons. Those buttons work on most other pages, so as far as I know, it's just this page. Also, these errors only occurred after the update.

== Just curious; ==

On the main page, it states that Bulbapedia is supported by Bulbanews, Bulbagarden Archives, and Bulbagarden Forums. Shouldn't that mean it's supported by the National Bulbagraphic, too?

I was browsing Amazon the other day looking at prices of stuff for the TCG when I came across the new Unova Pokedex from Jakks.

I believe I have enough information to create an article, though I can't upload pictures, so someone else would have to do that.

== Automagically redirected to pornographic site ==

So I was surfing on my iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1 {{tt|yesterday|2012-10-13}} in between 12:50 AM UTC and 1:20 AM UTC (don't remember exactly what was the time) when I fired up Mobile Safari and directed the browser to Bulbapedia's main page. Now, I don't remember tapping anything on the screen but there's a chance I did without noticing it. Either way, I'm not convinced it was accidental tapping. What happened is that I suddenly got redirected multiple times through the ad network until I reached [http://www.ipinkvisualpass.com/pt/sx/iphone/home/updates/?revid=66054&campaign=20996&viewSpeed= this], which is a pornographic site.

== Userspace edit limit - pages to be put into mainspace ==

I am going to be writing a major section for an article here, but it will be spread across several days, and want to merge it all in to the article at one time. So I am asking if the userspace edit limit applies to sandbox-like pages which will have information that will be put into the main namespace. So...does it? [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 00:23, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
:Just keep it under 3, preview, don't do them within minutes of each other, and don't forget about the mainspace. The staff are more lenient on those kind of pages. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 00:27, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

:::I can keep it under 3 edits a day - it probably would be only 1 or 2. The section is large and technical, and I do not want to post an incomplete work into the mainspace - it could cause users to flood the talk page, edit it themselves (which would be horrible for the WIP), some might revert (with the way I work, initial versions might not end up looking like professional content, especially with notes all over the place in comments), and, worst comes to worst, I might keep an edit lock open for a period of 3 hours at a time - hardly an appropriate amount of time for mainspace. I would be making judicious use of the Preview functionality, as I am not entirely familiar with WikiCode. I will be merging the work into the appropriate mainspace page when it is completed.
:::I also wonder how capable Bulbapedia is of linking external images. The WIP section will probably have WIP images (hosted on my domain), and I would prefer to link those externally rather than uploading to the Archives for now, mainly to reduce server load.
:::And the main reason I ask is because the top bar is currently limiting userspace edits to 1/day, not the usual 3/day we had for quite a while. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 01:40, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

== Flags symbolizing languages ==

I'll put this here as there seems to be no better option on-wiki: [http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/flags.html Why you should not use a flag as a symbol of language], [http://flagsarenotlanguages.com/blog/why-flags-do-not-represent-language/ Why flags do not represent languages].

== Redirect to adult sites? ==

I'm writing this to report a serious problem I've had since a few months: while I'm on bulbagarden sites, I get redirected to an adult site and I can't return on the previous page. At first I thought it was a bad ad I opened inadvertently, but now I know for sure it is not that case. It first happened around december, and it got worse within the time... By now it almost happens once each fifty pages I open more or less. I usually get this problem on Bulbapedia, but it also happened once on the archives. It still haven't got this problem on the other bulbagarden sites but I think it's because I usually don't go on them. It is not a browser problem, since it happened with opera, chrome mobile and another mobile browser. I don't know if the fact I'm in Italy matters. I wrote down the site I get redirected to when I'm on the tablet. I don't have the desktop site because now I usually use my tablet, and I didn't think of writing down the URL. I first thought to add the link hidden in this discussion, but anybody could have still opened it. If you need it I can send it by email. Thanks for your attention--[[User:CiaobyDany|CiaobyDany]] ([[User talk:CiaobyDany|talk]]) 08:21, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

== "Synopsis" ==
Bulbapedia is sprawling with examples of lengthy, detailed, written accounts of short works of fiction which are (downright absurdly) labeled "Synopsis". Anyone who believes that this labeling is appropriate should consult a dictionary. They need to be either rewritten as actual synopses, or simply relabeled. I am in favor of the former, since the aforementioned (comparative) length and detail of the summaries, coupled with narratives that are often completely off the mark as summaries, but rather retells the work of fiction anew (as a story itself), render many of the site's "Synopsis"-sections highly unencyclopedic. I post this to engage in dialogue, so tell me what you think should(n't) be done, please. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 14:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, they should probably be called "Plot". I don't think we should remove massive amounts of information to just make them actually comply with the definition of a word that was incorrectly used to label them—simply, the label should be changed. I agree, a lot of them are basically stories themselves, and they shouldn't be. These sections should be written detailing what happened in present tense, not using any kind of emotive language. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
::Then we agree on that much. How will we go about renaming the sections? I suggested those massive amounts of information for removal under the assumption that an actual synopsis, and little more, was the degree of plot summary initially/ideally desired by an encyclopedia such as Bulbapedia. In other words, I believe that the scene-by-scene relaying, attempting to substitute the subject media content, as opposed to summarize its key points and provide the reader with an overview and some understanding of the work, is uncharacteristic of an encyclopedia, more fitting as content for other kinds of websites, or Bulbapedia's appendix namespace. That's my opinion, included since it ties in with the topic I brought up for discussion, but I realize that it isn't going places. As for ridding the sections of emotive language, I presume that this is already a long-established work in progress, carried out by editors who happen to read these sections, so nothing new there. Thank you for replying. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 15:36, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

==Long-Running Script==

Whenever I visit a page that isn't in the main or talk namespace, an error message will pop up 90% of the time and say that bulbapedia has stopped functioning due to a "long-running script." I then have 2 options:

1. Click "stop script," and then be redirected to a page that says Bulbagarden has been shut down permanently, and be unable to go back.

2. Click "cancel," and then watch my computer crash. The only way to fix that would be to unplug it.

First of all, what is this "long-running script?" And, how in tarnation does the "Bulbagarden shut down" message appear? And, can those errors be fixed somehow? [[User:Spyspotter|Spyspotter]] [[User talk:Spyspotter|says…]] Edit the mainspace, [[Special:ListUsers|kids!]] 02:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

==Problems?==
Every time I want to access a page, it asks if I want to download it. It is only after a click the link around 20 times that I can go the page without having to download it. For example, this is what I get if I want I click "Random":
----

I tested this out with Firefox and Google Chrome, still the same error. Along with this, certain pages are styled strangely - for the editing box for editing the talkpage of the main page, the editing box is rather tiny, and the character palette has all clickable symbols underlined, any of these symbols when clicked doing nothing (with the exception of taking you to the top of the page).

On the front page, there is no light grey "Search" word in the search box, and the UTC clock has disappeared. Sometimes there is a rather medium sized space between the "Due to a security issue..." message and the "Welcome to Bulbapedia!" message. Also, sometimes the green background turns into a white background.

Also, some pages are displayed without the stylesheet.--[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 14:17, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

== Prerelease policy suggestion ==

(Not sure whether there's a good/easily-seen place to put this, so I'm gonna put it here Just Because.) As I'm sure most people are aware, the disconnect between the Archives and Bulbapedia means that some images are stuck in their old forms for days, weeks, or months after they've been updated on the Archives. Judging by prerelease Pokémon reveals so far this generation, we're getting Sugimori art within hours or a couple of days after we put low-quality CoroCoro scans on our pages, and then the Sugimori art takes a long time to get repaired on our pages. This makes our pages look unpolished for everyone and {{DL|User talk:Reshi643|Would you please|confuses new users, leading them to unnecessarily suggest that the art be updated even though it technically already has been}}. To neutralize this problem, '''I suggest that low-quality prerelease scans use a different image file name than the final artwork'''. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:49, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
:As problematic as it is, one of the first reasons against it I have is that if they are uploaded as separate files, we lose the history of the file, and what we had at a specific point in time.

::Point taken; I hadn't thought about that. As an alternative approach to a solution, is there any possibility of finding a way to lessen the syncing problem itself?

== Names of Pokemon games in general ==
Hey! Just wanted to bring this giant post I just typed elsewhere to your attention, instead of retyping the same info over again: http://vgmdb.net/forums/showpost.php?p=56272&postcount=3
In short, Japan stopped using "Pocket Monsters" outside of the katakana when R/S dropped, and at the same time Nintendo as a whole started up a consistent branding scheme (actually I'm not ''entirely'' sure how it scales to ''everything'' else but) that most people don't seem to notice (only with X/Y has this been changed (for the better)). Because of this, I believe we (and Wikipedia, and everywhere else) needs to rethink how we handle the game titles. There's a reason things like the albums refer to themselves as "Pokémon", and it's not to be "import friendly".
If I've come across as a bit brusque, I apologize, but I find it a bit silly that this has gone unnoticed for a decade! [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 08:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

:I get your point that in Japan the English name of the games is "Pokémon Ruby" etc. after RS, but I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting. The italic English text next to Japanese names is supposed to be a translation of the text, and there is a katakana difference between "Pokémon" and "Pocket Monsters", so they are translated as such where appropriate. It is important to note that the Japanese text does say "Pocket Monsters", as in Japan the main series is officially the "Pocket Monsters series" [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/]. Also, it's worth noting that Pokémon Stadium does the exact opposite of what you mentioned: the katakana says "Pokémon", but the Latin text says "Pocket Monsters" (for all three games). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:15, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

::Ah, sorry. I'm suggesting that we should use "Pokémon" as that transliteration for these later games instead of "Pocket Monsters", because that's what Nintendo does... we do the same for Pokemon themselves, for example. The trick is that you really want to avoid transliterating if you can help it; you can produce multiple official titles out of what looks like one. Basically, what's happening is that you have a katakana (here, anyway) title that is always used within itself, and a Roman-based title that is always used within itself--"進撃の巨人" and "Attack on Titan" is similar--two ''completely'' different titles used within the same context to refer to the same work (at the same time). That page may say "ポケットモンスターシリーズ", but you can bet it would have used "Pokémon" if they could help it.
::And yeah, with the Stadium case, those games were part of the old branding, which used "Pokemon" whenever it pleased. Technically, "Pokémon" is actually part of a "phrase shortening" trend that's pretty common in Japanese ("Famicom"'s a great example, and this is also why the term is even "Pokémon" to begin with), so it was occasionally used by Nintendo wherever they felt; Pokemon Puzzle Challenge became "Pokemon no Panepon" (heh, "Panepon" is another example of that shortening, being short for Panel de Pon) for its Japanese release, for example.
::(Fun fact: technically the katakana isn't actually "Pocket Monsters" transliterated; there's a common tendency (it's totally random!) to remove the final S/Z sound at the end of plurals in these transliterations, so it's ''really'' "Pocket Monster". "ポケットモンスターシリーズ" is a great example of with and without, in fact. Platinum is similar; the katakana actually reads "platina" (a word usually used to refer to alloys of platinum) and at least [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/otanosimi/platina/aikotoba/ one Nintendo website] uses this.) [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 06:03, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
:::I think I get your point, but the problem is that the "English name in Japan" is not an accurate translation of the actual text. Pokémon names are only alternate romanizations, not alternate phrases entirely. Pokémon and Pocket Monsters are used distinctly, so the translation should accurately reflect this. In your Attack on Titan example, were we to have an article on it (it's not relevant to Pokémon, so we shouldn't), it would be formatted as
::::'''Attack on Titan''' (Japanese: '''進撃の巨人''' ''Advancing Titans'')
:::However, I do take your point that it would be useful to note the official Asian-English names of the games, but the problem is that in the case of Pearl (for example), we have ポケットモンスター officially as ''Pokémon'', but nothing for パール. (Asian-English is a term used in Yu-Gi-Oh, so I'm borrowing it here for clarity; there may be a better term, but it will do for the circumstances.) For the record, platinum in Japanese comes from the Spanish word "platina" rather than the English one, thus why it is formatted as such (or at least, that's what I remember being told by my high-school Japanese teacher). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:50, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
::::1. "Pokémon" is most definitely a distinct title from "ポケモン", even. Titles are not about meaning, not ever; they are always about physical structure. It's pretty obvious that there are three different titles used (for whatever reasons there may be) to refer to the same work: "Pokémon", "ポケモン", and "ポケットモンスター". What else is there to it? (As a sidenote, I disprove of the preference for translations, specifically over romaji... where can I open a discussion about that?)
::::2. That sounds like a pretty good case for not having romaji ''at all'', doesn't it? Fortunately, Nintendo at least provides "Platinum" here (nearly every single Japanese page on the game uses it), and likely provides the same for the other games (at the least, they outright use "Pokémon <version>" on every soundtrack album since Ruby and Sapphire's).

I know we changed the Pokemon artwork images to a square ratio for practical reasons, not aesthetic ones, but now that they're the standard, other articles with Sugimori images — [[Valerie]] is the one I noticed, but most humans' articles, in fact — look abnormal because they break this new standard. Can we just apply the square requirement to all official art used in infoboxes so things match aesthetically? (I know this is totally not a priority and thus will absolutely not happen at least until the XY info is all put up, but I thought I'd suggest it to be implemented at some point in the future.)

:This was actually something we bought up whilst making the decision to square the images of Pokemon.

:"Sprites" in the traditional sense don't really exist anymore; Pokémon in Gen VI are represented by fully in-motion 3D models with no single "still image" to really take as a sprite. That's probably why in the Evolution section of any Pokémon page, you'll see official artwork instead of the current sprite like there used to be. The Sprites section may end up being something that only goes up to Gen V now. As for the icons? I saw some Gen VI icons around a few days ago but they're since been removed, apparently.

I noticed that within each page on the individual Pokémon types, there is a 'Characteristics' section, which describes both defensive and offensive characteristics.

== Uhhhh ==

When I go to "bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net", instead of taking me to the ain page by default, it takees me to some weird "nginx" thing :/ [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 19:24, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
:It brings me to the normal Main Page, it sounds like something might be redirecting you, maybe try running a virus scan or clearing your cookies, if it still happens, report it on the forums in the Bulbawiki General Forum. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 00:33, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
::If I understand things correctly, Nginx is a web server or at least software that runs as a server. Likely, Bulbagarden uses Nginx for at least part of the network, though I think that would be a question more for the {{bp|Webmasters}}. Did it say something like "502 Bad Gateway - nginx\1.6.0" or so? --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 06:18, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

== Possible evolution in anime ==

According to the [http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/img/index/teaser/posterBig.jpg poster of M18], [[Serena's Fennekin]], [[Clemont's Luxio]] and [[Jessie's Pumpkaboo]] may evolve in the future. Could someone protect those articles? [[User:KyleRGiggs|Raymond]] 06:26, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

==StreetPass article==

It just occurred to me that the wiki could probably afford to have an article about [[StreetPass]]. Considering that it's a 3DS feature that is used by several Pokémon games for 3DS (both main series and side games), I would think an article compiling its functionality and how to access it in each game would be worthwhile. I don't have time to make that right now, as I'm focused on other things, but maybe someone else could? —[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 22:11, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

:The reason why the notices are there is to have up-to-date information on all things Pokémon. It wouldn't be good if the third Gen images were the most current for all moves created prior to the fourth Gen. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 00:53, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

:While it is in the [[Bulbapedia:Code of conduct|Code of conduct]] that profanity is not looked on as a good thing, there is not too much that can be done. I'm not a fan of it either but as long as it is not where it shouldn't be, there shouldn't be a problem. Also, just saying there are bad words doesn't help. You actually need to point out where it is; then the proper actions can be taken. [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 00:53, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
::There's nothing wrong with the occasional swear word. Plus, some people seem to think certain words are "bad" whilst others would think they're perfectly normal. It's completely impossible to censor what some people think as bad words. For example, to some people "hell" could be seen as a bad word. To me, there's nothing wrong with it at all. As long as they aren't directed towards another user as an insult, swear words are fine. Most people know them after all. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 15:52, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

== Links of Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance ==

'''Some''' of the links of Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance '''do not''' work correctly (Ex. Starfy Wiki). I noticed that if I take out the /Main_Page from the URL it '''will work'''. This may be different for other web browsers.
----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 04:16, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
:Yes. The Starfy Wiki and Golden Sun Universe links need to be altered to be /wiki/Main_Page instead of just /Main_Page due to a change (from a relatively long time ago) causing simply /Main_Page not to work. If I remember rightly there was a NIWA staff discussion of some sort arguing that everything in the NIWA wikis should be under /wiki/. I am not sure why and I no longer have the discussion archived, but the MediaWiki website [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_in_site_root_directory thinks this is bad too]. Super Mario Wiki didn't make the change. [[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] ([[User talk:Chickasaurus|talk]]) 06:03, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

That is all That is shown when I try to access the Zelda wiki, I have no viruses on my smartphone (I know because I constantly scan for viruses and use AVG as my virus scanner), this has only been happening since I cleared the cache, but again sometimes it works just like it's supposed to so I don't think the cache is the problem, anyways I wanted to let you know about it so you can help me figure out the problem and let the Zelda wiki people know. I will also be posting this same thing to the Zelda wiki once I can get on it again. So please help me out, thank you for your time and I shall be awaiting responses.

::Hey there, this isn't really the best place to ask this kind of thing; I'd suggest checking out [http://zeldauniverse.net/forums/index.php/Board/191-Zelda-Wiki-Central/ the Zelda Wiki subforum on Zelda Universe].

Not meaning to be rude when I say this, but it seems that you didn't notice the part where I said that I would let Zelda wiki know the next time I was able to get onto the site. Also, I have noticed that there are a few other postings in this section, whether visible or archived, where people have stated problems for NIWA and not just bulbapedia here and they seem to not have been reprimanded or asked to go to the other site to report it. again not meaning to be rude, sorry if it came across that way. Would you happen to know when the technical problems with Zelda wiki will be fixed?
[[User:Lordofninjas1|Lordofninjas1]] ([[User talk:Lordofninjas1|talk]]) 16:41, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
:Right, but I suggested using the Zelda Universe forums, which while affiliated with Zelda Wiki are at a different domain, so will not necessarily be down at the same time. I wasn't trying to reprimand you for posting that here, just suggested a better place to ask; I'm the only person active here who is staff on Zelda Wiki, so you're unlikely to get an answer unless I see the message (which I did in this case). The other section about NIWA on this page is actually about the NIWA links on the front page (I only glanced at the previous archive, but it looks like most messages about NIWA are too).

====Patches====
Patches for various Pokémon games have been released on the Nintendo eShop. Additionally, Pokémon Shuffle can update itself when performing the daily check-in, but such updates cannot be downloaded through the Nintendo eShop. If an update is available on Nintendo eShop for a game the player has, the update has not been downloaded yet and there is an attempt to launch that game while connected to the internet, the system will inform the player of the update and offer to go straight to the update in Nintendo eShop to download it.

'''Explosion''' (Japanese '''だいばくはつ''' ''Giant Explosion'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is currently the most powerful move in terms of its base power. It was [[TM47]] in Generation I before losing its TM status in Generation II. It regained its TM status, albeit as [[TM64]], in Generation IV onwards.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Explosion has a power of 170 in Generation I.

Explosion does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is listed as 170, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 340. The game rounds up to avoid infinite damage, so Explosion will then effectively have a power of 170 if used against a target with a Defense value of 1.

If Explosion breaks a target's {{m|substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Explosion had a substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, ie. 340.

===Generation II===
Explosion's base power was [[List of modified moves|changed]] to the current 250. The Defense-halving step still applies, giving it an effective power of 500.

If Explosion is used against a {{m|substitute}}, a {{t|Ghost}} type, or a Pokémon that has used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}, the user will still faint.

Unlike in the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Explosion's base power before halving Defense.

The {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}} won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

===Generations III and IV===
Explosion cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}} is on the field. User's sprite no longer disappears upon the use of move.

Explosion will also affect all other Pokémon on the field in [[Double Battle]]s.

The {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

===Generation V onwards===
Explosion no longer halves the target's Defense. Also, the user now faints before dealing damage as opposed to fainting after dealing damage in previous generations.

{{a|Sturdy}} won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
Explosion does not cause the user to faint, but instead cuts its HP in half, and affects all Pokémon, items, and walls within 2 tiles of the user, reducing HP by half on teammates, by 80 on hostile Pokémon, and destroying all walls, items, and [[dungeon tile|special tiles]]. Explosion cannot be used in {{weather|rain}} or on any floor with a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}}. Additionally, {{type|Fire}} Pokémon take only 50% of usual damage.

'''Explosion''' (Japanese '''だいばくはつ''' ''Giant Explosion'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is currently the most powerful move in terms of its base power. It was [[TM47]] in Generation I before losing its TM status in Generation II. It regained its TM status, albeit as [[TM64]], in Generation IV onwards.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Explosion has a power of 170 in Generation I.

Explosion does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is listed as 170, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 340. The game rounds up to avoid infinite damage, so Explosion will then effectively have a power of 170 if used against a target with a Defense value of 1.

If Explosion breaks a target's {{m|substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Explosion had a substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, ie. 340.

===Generation II===
Explosion's base power was [[List of modified moves|changed]] to the current 250. The Defense-halving step still applies, giving it an effective power of 500.

If Explosion is used against a {{m|substitute}}, a {{t|Ghost}} type, or a Pokémon that has used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}, the user will still faint.

Unlike in the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Explosion's base power before halving Defense.

The {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}} won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

===Generations III and IV===
Explosion cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}} is on the field. User's sprite no longer disappears upon the use of move.

Explosion will also affect all other Pokémon on the field in [[Double Battle]]s.

The {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

===Generation V and on===
Explosion no longer halves the target's Defense. Also, the user now faints before dealing damage as opposed to fainting after dealing damage in previous generations.

{{a|Sturdy}} won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
Explosion does not cause the user to faint, but instead cuts its HP in half, and affects all Pokémon, items, and walls within 2 tiles of the user, reducing HP by half on teammates, by 80 on hostile Pokémon, and destroying all walls, items, and [[dungeon tile|special tiles]]. Explosion cannot be used in {{weather|rain}} or on any floor with a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}}. Additionally, {{type|Fire}} Pokémon take only 50% of usual damage.

Ethan7: /* Merge */

== Merge ==

I am proposing that we merge the articles for Secret Islet, [[Secret Meadow]], and [[Secret Shore]] into one page. While each of them are separate locations, they only serve a single purpose, a place for secret bases. I think one page can easily cover all the necessary info. I'm not sure if Secret Spot is the canon term for these places, but it is what people seem to toss around. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 03:33, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
:"Secret spot" looks like it actually just means a place where a Secret Base can be made. I'm not sure if there's any sort of policy saying all locations should have their own page or something, but if not, I'd say they could perhaps be placed on [[Secret Base]]. (If "Super Secret Base" were its own page, I'd say definitely there.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:59, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
::My issue is that we don't have a good combined name for them (Secret Spot is the name of the locations for making Secret Bases), they're all marked on the game map (with their own map descriptions), they're all accessed from different routes, and all function as their own have/met locations and Fly/soar destinations. Particularly due to the fact that they are all individually labelled on the map, I think they should have their own articles. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:46, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Merge separate locations is a messy issue, it's something I thought of as well. I just didn't see the point of having three separate pages that share 98% of the same information. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 07:11, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
::::My objection is that "Secret Spot" and "Mirage Spot" may be seen as synonymous by some users. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:53, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::Separate locations, separate map markers, shouldn't be merged. If we merge these together, we may as well merge the Regi locations together, the lake trio caves and other similar locations. Same principal, they're similar locations. Sure, these share the same mechanic and the articles aren't that long, but they shouldn't be in the same article. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 18:06, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
::::::"Secret Spot" and "Mirage Spot" seeming similar is a non-issue. Were we to have pages at both titles, we could have a {{template|search}} notice at the top for the other. However, "Secret Spot" actually refers to the indentations/trees/bushes where you can make Secret Bases, not these locations, so the term absolutely should not be used (not to mention that it would be "secret spot" due to being conjectural). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:14, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::::Secret Islet, Secret Meadow, and Secret Shore are all locations like routes and cities. If we merge these pages, then [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]] and [[Lake Valor]] should all be on the same page as well. All of those locations are very similar but they all have their own page because they are different locations. Secret spots are where the player can use {{m|Secret Power}} to create a secret base. I personly disagree with merging these pages. ----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 19:20, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
::::::::There's a big difference in the amount of info available between these three locations and the three lakes. That example isn't a good one at all. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 07:17, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::Never mind, those locations have different [[wild Pokémon]], [[trainers]] and are different story-wise, they are similar though. But {{tt|they|Secret Islet, Secret Meadow and Secret Shore}} are still different locations and there is not really a good name for the merged article. ----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 15:10, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

== title_ro ==

So wait, is the <code>title_ro</code> parameter on {{template|Chapterinfobox}} meant for direct translations or romanization? Because the name of the parameter led me to believe it was just the pronunciation. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 01:57, 4/10/2014 (UTC)
:It's currently being used for the direct translation. I just changed it to match all the other manga articles. Sorry for any confusion ^^' [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 02:03, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

== To staff: a few splits ==

I suggested [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:Tiddlywinks&oldid=2097458#Incomplete_splits a number of splits] last Tuesday. That means it's now been over a week, and there's either been no response or hardly any. For the majority that have had no response, there is little chance more waiting will result in someone responding. I understand staff must review these things, so I'd appreciate it if you could bring these splits up with staff and get back to me on whether I would be allowed to perform them when I am ready to.

Perhaps I could implore staff to also consider a different request I made just today. I made [[User:Tiddlywinks/List of Berries by growth stats|this page]], which [[Talk:List of Berries by growth time#This page should include Berry yield|I think]] should replace [[List of Berries by growth time|this one]]. That's a big enough change I think I need some consensus/approval. I know no one's really had a chance to respond to my suggestion at the moment, but you'll have to forgive me if I'm a little pessimistic about the chances of getting any response given the above examples... (And I'm not exactly a model of patience. =P ) I'll be happy enough to remind staff of this one in a week or so if that's necessary, though. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:53, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

==Sprite boxes==
I apologize if this isn't your jurisdiction, but I need to bring something up with the Board. To put it simply, I'm tired of having to dig back sprites from [[Raticate (Pokémon)#Other sprites|Crystal, FireRed/LeafGreen, Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver, and Black 2/White 2]] from the dusty corners of the Archives and putting them onto their articles, where they belong and are, you know, ''used''. The main Sprites box needs to change to account for these missing sprites, which is something I can't do. If individual cells can be given to the front sprites from every game (''particularly'' ones reused from previous games in the same generation), back sprites can have one just as well. Please bring this initiative to the gang, call up whoever's the Wikicode Wizard, and let's get ourselves a truly representative sprite box. Thank you for your time.

P.S. I do think {{DL|Qwilfish (Pokémon)|Japanese sprites}} should either remain the same or be incorporated into the main sprite box in a way that separates them and shows how anomalous they are. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 00:51, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
:Hi! I have brought this up with other staff - it is something we have intended to do for a while, however it's encountered countless issues due to inconsistency of which Pokémon have modified sprites or not. @_@ so it hasn't happened just yet due to it giving problems such as that but rest assured it is something that is actually getting worked on. :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 03:38, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
::Oh good. I won't be adding anymore "Other sprites" then. By "modified sprites," do you mean the Gen IV sprites that are insignificantly different from each other? Though it would be aesthetically nice to combine cells for games that reuse sprites, I know that this would give each Pokémon's sprite box different coding and complicate everything. I don't see how difficult it could be to add a few more columns and rows if we're just gonna build upon the current model, though… Oh, one more thing: How is getting the XY 3D models going? Still stuck on the permissions ordeal? --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 04:16, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
:::Minor point, but are the sprite sections going to be renamed? 3D models aren't sprites after all. And I recall someone mentioning that there're full Stadium and/or Colosseum models buried somewhere on the Archives. If there are, are those going to be added as well? [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 17:42, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
::::We could call it "Depictions" or something. I think the core series should stick together even though X/Y use 3D models, and we could have another box for side games like Stadium and Mystery Dungeon. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 22:34, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
:::::If it becomes an issue, I would suggest turning the Sprites section into a "Pokémon by appearance" section with a sub-section for sprites and for models. At the moment, though, it does not appear to be a big issue. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 01:21, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

== Possible new Berry templates ==

I've [[User talk:Jo The Marten#Berry#In Generation VI Berry list and templates|tried to ask]] Jo the Marten, head of games, whether new templates should be made for use with Gen VI Berries, or whether the old templates should be jerry-rigged to account for the differences, but Jo has not responded despite [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jo_The_Marten being online] a number of times since I asked. Perhaps you can give me an answer instead? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:20, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

== Protean Ability, へんげんじざい = Phantasmagoria? ==

So apparently the old translation for へんげんじざい was {{wp|Phantasmagoria}}, a type of theater invented in the 18th century which basically was more or less shadow puppetry. Someone undid this and changed it to Protean (which strange enough, Google Translate gives as a viable option to replace Phantasmagoria with)

So...what is the deal here...was Phantasmagoria the correct translation and the edit undone or was the edit correct?

If I were to defend Phatasmagoria as the correct one...I would take a guess it has to do with how the user can change their typing like how the projection on the wall changes...or something like that.

Anyways I brought it up to you because you admins are more knowledgeable about this stuff. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 07:00, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

:I apologize for intruding, but I have to note that I originally did translate it as [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Protean_%28Ability%29&diff=1986195&oldid=1986188 protean]. Someone just changed it ''phantasmagoria'' without our notice. へんげんじざい means ''capable of ever-changing appearance'', so ''protean'' (capable of changing shape){{tt|*|The word is derived from ''Proteus'', a shape-shifting sea god in Greek mythology}} is also a viable translation for it. --[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」 08:01, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

== Psychic ==

Can you confirm if [[Ash's Butterfree]] and [[Sabrina's Abra]] used {{m|Psychic}} in the Electric Tale of Pikachu? I know that the move wasn't shown in the Japanese version but the wording in the English version is a little confusing. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 01:51, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
:Sabrina's Abra I am going to call a "no, not a chance". There's nothing that even vaguely confirms the use of Psychic, only Teleport. Butterfree, on the other hand, in [[ET03]] Ash calls out "Butterfree, use your Psychic attack!" though there is all capitals in the manga so you can't tell if it's a proper noun ("Psychic" vs "psychic") I'm going to say that's fine anyway.

==An error in the Finnish version - notable?==

::Okey-dokey. I'll probably incorporate it to the trivia section of the volume page.

== [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards]] ==

{{u|Myzou}} asked a question on [[Talk:Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards]], and since you've made significant contributions to that article, I hoped you might be able to answer their question.

I was also wondering if that page should perhaps have scans of the backs of all the cards? Or maybe only for the sticker cards (since they go together to form a larger picture)? Also, are scans of the normal cards preferred over scans of foil versions? And/or is it at all desired to have scans of the foil versions of all the cards? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:22, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
:I never intended to scan the backs, at least for now, since we already have the typed descriptions. Mostly, I'd rather get the fronts of the cards in there. I am also looking to update the other Topps articles to follow the standard I've set out here so that's currently a bigger priority than scanning the backs. Having the sticker cards backs seems like a good idea though, even if it's just put together to show what the completed puzzle looks like. I personally prefer to scan non-foil versions over foil versions if I have both, since I find in my scanner the foil ones show up kinda funny but the non-foil looks better. Again, I wouldn't prioritise scanning both for now. Maybe in the future we could show them side-by-side I guess, but since they show up funny when I scan them and it's the same image, I wouldn't consider it a big deal XD. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 02:41, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
::I understand. I'll just stick to the fronts for the majority and I'll pull out non-foil versions from my extras when I start doing some scanning in the near future.

:::If you only have the foil one (or only have easy access to the foil one) that's still a-okay, it is better than a blank spot and still represents the card. :P Though I wouldn't stop you from wanting to fill the gaps in the collection since I'd do the same XD [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 03:21, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

== Topps card scanning tips? ==

Since it sounded (and seems) like you scanned your own cards for the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards]] page, I was wondering if you might have any tips for getting good scans since your images look pretty good (to me anyways).

I tested out my scanner with some cards today, and it's a little short of ideal. If I put the cards against the edge of the scanner (so they're as straight as possible, though still not ''perfect''), part of the edge doesn't get scanned. But if I move them away from the edge, it'll be harder to keep them straight/level.

These are the basic/best examples I produced: [http://www.mediafire.com/view/tvk9q304p4m8cm1/Movie2000_sample_photo-close.jpg "photo" scan] (2 MB {{tt|jpg|This was my first test and I didn't realize it was putting it into a jpg}}), when I had the cards all close together; [http://www.mediafire.com/view/a7jfn0rdtf7d2ij/IMG_20140827_0001doc.png "document" scan] (15 MB png), when I had the cards against the edges and spaced out a bit (when I tried this with "photo" scan, it kept cropping out the cards into individual images...and not doing a stellar job of it); and [http://www.mediafire.com/view/zme76umddz7xjhm/Movie2000_sample_mag-offset.png "magazine" scan] (16 MB png), when I had the cards spaced away from each other and the edges. (The darker "Pokemon at Play" is a foil card.) If you compare the last one to the other two, you can see how part of the edges isn't scanned. And all three also have slightly different qualities (at full size), and I'm not sure which is "best".

Should I just work with one of those and let the minor issues slide (like just straighten out any uneven images in an image manipulation program?), or do you have any tips to make better scans? And which type of scan is the "best" quality, or does it not really matter? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:31, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
:Yes, all the cards I uploaded are scans of my own collection :) I suppose what I do is most like the "document scan", on the flat part of my scanner the bottom right corner has this little arrow dealie and if I line up the cards on that side, the part that gets cut off is the minimum. I line em all up on the bottom so they stay straight (I hate scanning things crooked). If I line them up on the top though or too close to the far left side, too much gets cut off, so I just line up a few at a time starting from that bottom right corner. Honestly though any of your pictures look fine, I would suggest the magazine or document scan if it was me, but go with whatever you think is best quality cause honestly any of them looks acceptable to me. As for individual cards, my scanning program lets me customise the part that gets scanned, so I intentionally leave a bit of extra space around each individual card scan so that I can crop it in image editing software after. The whole thing is awfully time consuming lol. Thanks for helping me with the scans :) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 03:47, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
::I scanned my First Movie cards and this is a pretty representative example of what I came up with: [http://www.mediafire.com/view/b53sj3mejiw25c3/M01_01.png 01] (1.5 MB). I just did some fairly conservative cropping for that (and some others at the moment) and you can see where the edge of the card stops. (Apparently either the sides of the scanner or of the ruler I was using as a straight-edge weren't perfectly perpendicular.) I'm wondering if that's good enough to upload like that or if I should try to improve that one way or another?

::::::Seeing as you updated the Advanced article, perhaps I should tell you what I'm in any shape to scan and update so we don't end up duplicating effort too much. I've got all of series 1 and I was gonna tackle that next. I've also got significant parts of series 2 and 3, except for Pokemon cards (I have some but not a lot) and die-cut cards. I've also got a moderate amount of Johto series 1 (might be less than half) and a very small amount of Johto League Champions...and one Chrome series 1 card. I don't have anything from Advanced, and certainly not Top 10. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 06:38, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
:I have a good chunk of series 1, but that might be best left to you if you have literally everything and are already working on it, haha. I also have a significant chunk of series 2 (including the Pokémon), but very little from series 3 (just some of the chase cards and a chrome version of Porygon. what's the deal with these chrome ones anyway? I have Chrome Charizard, Chansey and Porygon) and I have most of the Pokémon cards for Advanced as well, which I will be doing next ^^' unfortunately i have zero Johto or Johto League Champions, so you are on your own on that one. I have no Top 10 either :( perhaps I will do Advanced and series 2 (you can always add your series 2 cards after), if you do series 1 and the Johto ones? and I guess series 3, but since neither of us has it complete, i'll just add my cards to your list if you don't have them already XD p.s. the Movie 2000 cards page looks AWESOME T_T thanks for all your help :) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 16:33, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

:::Sounds good. I'll do series 1, then Johto(s), then series 3, and then series 2 (either whatever I have or whatever you haven't uploaded if you've gotten to it by then). The Chrome cards are apparently special rereleases of #1-151 in two sets (Chrome series 1 & 2)[http://www.nslists.com/pokchro1.htm]. It apparently has a veritable buttload of rare parallel sets, and they apparently weren't guaranteed (that is, where most series had X regular cards and 1 foil card in a pack, Chrome packs apparently just included the variants at different rates, like chase cards).
:::FYI, what I have/am missing of series 3 is: have Pokemon 118, 123, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, 135-137, 139, 141, 142, 144, 145, 149, and 151; have the checklist; missing OR10-13 and OR16; missing puzzle #5; have die-cut #7.

== Questions ==
Is this a better image for Gold's kakuna?
[[http://sta.sh/091p80vzx0d]]
Also is it alright if i make pokemon templates for Cheren, Bianca and Shauna (Hugh, Tierno and Trevor for later)?
[[User:Animaltamer7]]09:51, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
:For the image, it's about six of one and half a dozen of the other. They're both fine to me. ^^' as for the templates, I assume you mean something [[Template:Black's Pokémon|like this]], right? For Cheren and Bianca, honestly I'd skip it, since they only have one Pokémon each with a full article all to itself, so it doesn't really seem worth it. Same with Shauna - she only has like three Pokémon so I'd say it's not really necessary for now. Thanks for the message, though!

::Ok, so what about Wally, can I make one for him (when he gets more pokemon articles for him I mean). [[User:Animaltamer7]]13:56, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
:::Again, I'd skip it for now since only one of his Pokémon has an article. However, like any other character, if circumstances changed and, for example, he has a huge role in a future ORAS story and he gets more Pokémon articles, then sure. Same with the above characters. It's mostly just for ease of navigation. If a character has a lot of Pokémon with articles, the navigation template's useful. If most of the info is already on the character's main page, then skip it. That's why it's mainly Pokédex holders that have navigation templates - since they have more prominent roles in the story, their Pokémon appear more often, they are generally shown with more Pokémon, and their Pokémon often have character development outside of battle.

== Steven's Metagross and Akira's Charizard ==

Do you think {{Steven}}'s {{p|Metagross}} and {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}} should get their own articles? Metagross did serve as Steven's main/signature Pokémon in the games, recently appeared in the anime, and made some appearances in Pokémon Adventures. As for Akira's Charizard, Akira is the main character and did rely on Charizard many times, but the article may be short. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 03:05, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
:Metagross would probably be okay. Charizard I would not make an article for now. While it fits the notability criteria, I would prefer to expand the existing section before splitting it off into an article. If we split it off now it would just be a stub so I think the information is more useful in the spot it is. As it expands further it may be worth splitting one day but for right now, nope :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 07:55, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

== ORAS manga ==
Is it too early to be adding in info from Pokemon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom, the new ORAS manga? Dogasu has some info about it though. On another note, I'm not sure if Ataro suggested this before but I was thinking that we should only list locations that have been named, called out, or revealed later on. For example, in the anime (although this example is using a different media), the Pokéathlon was located in Camellia Town instead of next to Johto's National Park. Cities/Towns that don't appear in the games have happened many times before. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
:If you have information, I don't see why it shouldn't be added. I don't know much about that manga yet unfortunately so it's up to you for now :P as for your suggestion, I suppose it seems logical.

::I actually know very little about that ORAS manga but I'll do my best with the information. As for my other statement; yeah, I do mean how some chapters would say that such as your example with Location: A field. The same would apply if a character mentioned that they are in a numbered route or city from games. However, if someone/chapter mentioned a forest doesn't mean that it was Viridian Forest or Petalburg Forest, could be any forest. Many of the images of the locations I recently uploaded were all locations that were mentioned in the chapter, on a plus side.

==Black and White==
Since the lockdown is over, I'll take care of the English titles tomorrow. Also if I create a new page for Volume 19 I won't list the chapters as 3 chapters until I get the book since I won't go against you on this. Also for X and Y, I'll only perform a page move on X's Khangskhan if it's nickname will be different. For the volume I'll leave it alone and report back what I learn first, though I'll still handle the chapter pages' titles myself. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 05:16, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
:Once you get Volume 19, feel free to add the rounds to Volume 20 as well since it's the last volume. I just feel more comfortable waiting until Volume 19's rounds are confirmed :P I think Garu and Kogaru might get new English nicknames since their names are based on Garura (Kangaskhan's Japanese name) but we'll see when the volume comes out tomorrow and move it then ;) as for the volume itself, if it turns out to be different like I predicted, you can make a page for it [[Pokémon Black and White volume 1|based on this]] if you want otherwise I'll do it myself if you tell me which rounds are in it. If it turns out like the Japanese volume (extremely unlikely but whatevs) then you can just add the publications. I'll be getting it on Wednesday anyway so it's all good. Cheers!

==Final Results==
As you predicted Viz has released only three chapters with their release (as least it keeps the Japanese releases ahead). I took care of the translation of the titles for both X and Y, as well as Black and White, along with do the page move to create the [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga]] page. I'll let you deal with creating a page like the "Pokémon XY Vol. 1" (and Vol. 2 page) using the titles I translated and modifying the X and Y (chapter) page to improve what I started last night and updating VIZ's profile with the X and Y data if you want. Also I created Volume 20 for Black and White but I need help disabling the next template as there will not be a volume 21 and as easily predicted both 19 and 20 do in fact have 3 chapters each. At this point Viz will only be releasing 3-4 chapters for the mini-volumes.

::::::Well, tonight I finally had a chance to discuss this with Kogoro and she says that spriters resource can be used as an image source. I've noticed we have most of the urgently needed images uploaded by now anyway, so what exactly were you looking to add? Sorry for the delay in my response, we've all been busy and this sort of thing is not an area of expertise for me, so I have to ask the other staff before going ahead. I wouldn't want to rush a response to you just because you're burning to add stuff and then it turns out I was wrong and then that would mean we both wasted time :P either way, let me know if you have any additional concerns.

==Pokémon XY manga picture==
The picture for Vol. 2 of VIZ's release is up on Amazon so it would be just about the appropriate time to create a list of volumes for that series.

== Moveentry Templates ==
I'm trying to add the split column like, for example, in Gen. III (RS/FRLG/E) and IV (DP/HGSS/P) and already contacted Kogoro regarding this, but as you noted Kogoro has been absent (the last edit being the 15th). Are you comfortable enough with adding the ORAS tag to allow the column split on those templates? This is really needed only for {{m|Dive}} right now, and I'm about to import a batch of Kalos specimens to check if they are even capable of learning the move, but wanted to wait until the tag was in before actually editing in everything. Dive doesn't exist as an HM in Kalos, hence why I don't want to imply that it does by doing a full column. I did include Wailmer and Wailord since Wailmer can be caught with Dive, and it can be used for testing purposes.

==Pokémon Adventures chapter page idea==
If you saw my recent work, besides providing the last three chapters english titles for Black and White, I also updated the trivia's on the remaining chapters and it got me an idea is that for that it can be improved to cover the volumes where there chapter collections are different from the official numbering since only the official volume number is listed in the volume at the top of that chapter page and I have a few ideas I can suggest if you have any interest. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 03:31, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
:Ah, thank you for adding those trivia. I got the volume a few days ago but I've been busy so I hadn't had a chance to update the titles myself ^^' I'll always listen to any suggestions so fire away :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 03:44, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

:My strongest idea is to improve presentation is this.
For the trivia in PS461
*This round is also collected in:
**[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1]] which is published by [[Viz Media]] in North America and Italy.
**[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|Black and White Volume 1]] which is published by [[Kurokawa]] in France.

The purpose is to keep the relevant trivia together and make it more presentable. It could also be put into its own section and handled a similar way but I think my first idea will work better. While it will start out with similar number volume numbers as the one in the infobox up top, it will later deviate due to the difference for that. Also for now a small trivia can be done for the X and Y chapters, but will need a similar format later in the future once the actual volumes come out. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 04:25, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
:I like it, although I'm not sure if Italy needs to be mentioned... the French volumes should be mentioned, because they're a different format, but the Italian volumes are the same format as the North American ones. (Also they're not published by VIZ Media in Italy so it would get a little long-winded to name both publishers) so idk users can follow the volume link or the "in other languages" links on the {{template|Epilang}} if they want to know the format. But yeah I do like your format overall. so i guess something like

*This round is also collected in:
**[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1]] which is published by [[VIZ Media]] in North America and by J-POP e GP Manga in {{pmin|Italy}}.
**[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|Black and White Volume 1]] which is published by Kurokawa in {{pmin|France}}.

or just cut out the Italy thing altogether and it's good. i agree that it is more organized and nice looking haha :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 04:51, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

:As long as it improves the quality then I am fine with the best solution for this on how it would be presented.

::I might suggest to stick with the trivia for now. The opening line doesn't usually mention what volume it's collected in anyway (except for a few outdated Magical Pokémon Journey articles), and I don't really wanna mess with the code on the template at this time, although it might be good to think about in the future since it's also kind of inflexible with one-shot/non-volume manga. It also begs the question if the [[List of Pokémon Adventures monthly issues|monthly issues]] should be listed with the mini-volumes as well.

== In other languages ==
In pages with an "In other languages" section, should the French and Spanish names be marked with "fr" and "es" or "fr_eu" and "es_eu"? Especially in the game-related articles, where the European French versions have been released in Canada, and with Generation VI, where these languages can be selected no matter where the game is bought, it doesn't make sense to mark them that way when there isn't a different "Latin American Spanish" or "Canadian French" translation for the games.

Should Korean terms be romanized or translated? Consistency says that a translation should be used like with Japanese terms, but a lot of pages have romanizations instead. Additionally, if it is to be romanized, what is the romanization method to be used? [[List of Korean Pokémon names]] uses the {{wp|Revised romanization of Korean}} and {{wp|McCune-Reischauer}} methods. -[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:31, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
:I would prefer "fr" and "es" over "fr_eu" and "es_eu" since it reflects that everywhere the game (or whatever media) is available in French or Spanish, those are the names that are used. {{template|Langtable}} actually links to a disambiguating "Pokémon in French" and "Pokémon in Spanish" page anyway. Same for "pt" if it's the same in European and Brazilian Portuguese.
:For the Korean stuff, I would prefer translations to keep consistent like with Japanese terms. I don't have an immediate answer for the romanization style, I'd have to discuss that with the other staff...although it might not be needed anyway if everything's been converted to translations anyway. ^^' [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 03:44, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

== Contest Conditions ==
Hey Zesty, I have noticed that the [[Cool (condition)|con]][[Beautiful (condition)|test]] [[Cute (condition)|con]][[Clever (condition)|dit]][[Tough (condition)|ion]] pages have the requests to add the information from ORAS. I have created [[User:Adamws/Movelist/contest-head/6|this]]. I think that it can be useful because adding the ORAS information into the current template will make it way too wide. Also, some moves have switched their contest conditions (an example is {{m|Aqua Tail}}). Doing the split between Gen III/IV and ORAS contest moves probably would be a better choice then having all together in one table/template.

== [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]], "VIdex" ==

The issue at [[Talk:List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number#Multiple Pokédeces in Generation VI]] has been almost completely ignored by staff, despite bringing up what I believe to be a rather big issue. Allow me, then, to plead it directly with you.

Under [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number#Generation VI]], the "VIdex" column uses unadorned numbers like "001" and "002", despite the fact that, for any such number, there are conceivably ''three'' different Pokedexes which that number may refer to. In some cases (such as Bunnelby and Inkay), this even means that two Pokemon are listed with apparently the same "regional" number. This should not be an acceptable state of affairs.

Earlier this week, I made a user page ([[User:Tiddlywinks/List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]]), hoping to save staff the trouble of fixing the page up themselves and hopefully expediting the resolution of this issue. But it's been a few days and I'm not pleased to see that there's still been no response, despite resorting to a shout-out in my edit summary to the list's talk page. And so we arrive at my decision to finally take this directly to a staff member. I hope you can check my user page and save the changes into the mainspace page soon. Thank you.

(FYI, on my user page, I also tweaked the table headers so that the headers for the "regional" dex columns link to their respective dex pages, and at the same time I tweaked "VIdex" to something I thought more appropriate, considering that the new Hoenn Pokedex could reasonably be considered a "VIdex" as well...)

==X and Y chapter update==
Just confirmed and posted the release dates for Volumes 3-5 of the Viz mini-volumes. However the real reason I am sending you a message is that it looks like for now Viz will only be releasing their volumes once every three months which means four volumes a year. If you decide to put this in the summary then it would be something to consider. On a side note at least there is a smaller chance of Viz having to take a break like they did after volume 8 of Black and White by doing it in a 3 month period instead of a 2 month period. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 17:49, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

== Pokémon in Vietnam ==
I have some questions about the [[Pokémon in Vietnam]] article:
*I don't know about writing a company in English. For example, is "GoGo Entertainment Co., Ltd." usually written with "Ltd." or not?
*Since GoGo Entertainment Co., Ltd. is the company that holds the license to the Pokémon franchise in Vietnam, should we specify their Pokémon Shops in the "Pokémon merchandise" part?
*With the same reason, should we create a page for GoGo Entertainment Co., Ltd.? Or there are not enough info to do that?
*I see you wrote the original anime airdates of [[BW001]] as "January 24, 2014" in the infobox. Did you use the US time or UTC time, or that was jus a mistake?
*Should we update the {{PAV|1}} cover image? (I don't know if the old one is better)
*Should we add an image (like [https://www.facebook.com/PokemonDacBiet/photos/a.1469219370026069.1073741840.1462990797315593/1469216530026353 this]) for the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga's part? '''UPDATE:''' Kim Đồng and GoGo said they're working to gain the rights to re-publish this manga in Vietnam, but it would be very, very difficult, because the contents are considered "not suitable for Vietnamese children" (due to its crudity), and the Japanese partner won't allow them to change the contents and/or pictures (which is nearly what Kim Đồng is doing with the manga Detective Conan). They have been working for this since last year, but as of now, no results have been gained yet.
*Should we change "{{an|Iris}}" into "{{an|Iris|Airisu}}", and "{{an|Cilan|Dent}}" into "{{an|Cilan|Dento}}" in the "Cast and crew" part, because of the HTV3's credit and website?
*INFO: About the logo, some sources (including Kim Đồng) said that the logo you used is official for Pokémon in Vietnam (including both manga and anime), and thus, cannot be changed for whatever reasons.
I will very appreciate if you help me answer all these questions. Thanks for your help! --[[User:Yen01|Yen01]] ([[User talk:Yen01|talk]]) 11:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
:Edit: It seems on some episodes' titles, characters' and Pokémon's names ''are'' the trademarked ones. But on the credit, website, and some of [[Professor Oak's lecture|Doctor Okido's Pokémon Live Caster]], they (including Pokémon's names) are the transliterated hepburn romaji ones. --[[User:Yen01|Yen01]] ([[User talk:Yen01|talk]]) 14:54, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
:Hi! I'll just answer them in order:
* Err, I'm not sure if it really matters, but we can use the longer name if you prefer!
* Yes, that sounds like a good idea!
* I'd avoid making an article just for GoGo Entertainment, though. Part of the idea of the Project Globe articles was to put all the information in one place instead of having lots of small articles for companies, voice actors, etc that exist outside of the Japanese and English versions. We do provide coverage of Pokémon all around the world in lots of different languages (I personally think this is a very cool and unique aspect of Bulbapedia), but we are still primarily focused on the English version (followed by the Japanese version). So long story short, any information about GoGo that is relevant to Pokémon should be added into the Vietnam article instead.
* Oops, I think that was a typing mistake XD I'll fix it now :P
* Is there something wrong with the current image? Did they post a higher-quality version on fb or something?
* Hmm. That might be interesting. We have a similar image on the [[Pokémon in Latin America#Manga|Latin American page]] that a user uploaded, but I believe he uploaded a pic of his own collection. I'd prefer not to use personal images from other fansites, but if we can find an image from Kim Đồng or from someone willing to share a pic of their own collection on Bulbapedia, that would be okay too. Ideally, of course, we'd have individual images of all the covers rather than a photo of a collection. ^^'
* This one I'm not sure... I'll check with the other staff on this one. :X
* Yes, I've noticed that a lot of Asian countries seem to only use the red Pokémon logo...I'm not sure why, but I've seen it too :P

:::Thank you for answering! I have some new info:
:::*About question 1 & 3, I just asked because of my curiousity! I understand now. Question 5, I have re-tweeted the image to you. And question 6, it's a very old and illegal-printed manga, so I don't expect any image from Kim Đồng (but I will inform you as soon as they do). I myself don't have the manga, either. I will ask some friends if they can help me take a few photos for individual volumes in case they still have them (I'll ask for the [[ Pokémon anime novelization series]], too. But should I also ask for the first edittion of Pokémon Đặc Biệt?).
:::*I've had some searches, and it seams GoGo (maybe} is the company that has authorized KID'S KINGDOM TRADING CO., Ltd. to manage a Pokémon Shop opened on January 1st, 2014 in the "AEON Super Market" area on the second floor of AEON MALL Tân Phú Celadon (whose opening ceremony is on January 11th, 2014). On [http://aeon.com.vn/news/aeon-lan-dau-tien-xuat-hien-tai-viet-nam/?lang=en this news page], AEON also mentioned an area called "Kids Republic" on which the Pokémon Shop is located, but I don't know exactly where (I think it's the combination of all shops for kids). On AEON MALL Bình Dương Canary (of which the opening ceremony was on November 1st, 2014), there's also a Pokémon & Hello Kitty Shop which has exactly the same position with the one above. It's also managed by KID'S KINGDOM TRADING CO., Ltd., but I don't know if GoGo has any relation. I also don't know if GoGo has authorized for any other company. I've asked and am waiting for the confirmation from GoGo. Source: [http://kidskingdom.vn/index.php/en/gioi-thieu-2/letter here] and [http://kidskingdom.vn/index.php/vi/gioi-thieu/cua-hang here].

:::*I found an event from last year, which looks like [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/McDonald%27s_Happy_Meal_campaign_launched this]. It ran from April 26th, 2014 at McDonald's Đa Kao (2-6 bis Điện Biên Phủ, Phường Đa Kao, Quận 1, TP. Hồ Chí Minh), and each purchased Happy Meal would come along with one of some free "Pokémon BW" toys (named in the picture: "Eevee and friends", "Emolga Pump", "Genesect Magnetic Turn", "Light Up Pikachu", "Oshawott Water Toy", "Pokémon Telescope", "Mewtwo Gravity Ball", and "Charizard Microscope". I don't know if there was more, but the toys look like they were promoting for [[M16]] and [[PK25]] in 2013, even though those was not aired in Vietnam) until supply ran out. On April 26th and 27th, there was a Pikachu mascot that welcomed, played and took photos with children, and gave them free gifts, Pikachu hats and baloons (or until supply ran out). I don't know if this event was related to GoGo, but... there was no TCG cards. Official Facebook link is [https://www.facebook.com/McDonaldsVN/photos/a.403379839784274.1073741830.402822549840003/516207118501545 here] (they have removed the official webpage, I guess), while some photos and video are [https://www.facebook.com/McDonaldsVN/posts/517606615028262 here], [https://www.facebook.com/McDonaldsVN/photos/a.481788665276724.1073741833.402822549840003/518248168297440 here] and [https://www.facebook.com/HoiNhungNguoiThichDoChoiNhatBan/photos/a.283005495160469.67202.282814611846224/502315186562831/?type=1 here].
:::*While [[Pokémon movie]]s, [[List of anime specials|anime specials]], [[Pikachu shorts]],... have never aired officially on theaters or on TV in Vietnam, some channels picked up some of those translated by some free-subteams like Yumei-Anime on the Internet and aired themselves. For example, VTC11 has once aired [[M10]] made by Yumei-Anime on their own channel.
:::*Remember when I said on Twitter yesterday that I'm not usually free (or, more accurary, not at home) at that time of day? Well, I completely forgot that 9:30 ''is actually'' that time, too, so I can't watch it! >_< I'll have to wait to 17:30, and if I see anything new, I will report it to you! Sunday is always free for me though (if I don't have to teach my sister, AGAIN), and I will be able to watch at both time! ;)
:::*COMPLETELY UNRELATE: The reason why I always mistakenly call "Kim Đồng Publisher" is because of [https://www.facebook.com/nxbkimdong/photos/a.424711303868.222742.99839463868/10152467218978869 their Facebook avatar]! I will try not to do that again in the future XD

::::Hi! I'll go in order again :P
* Oh, okay, I saw your tweet. If you like the old one better then just leave it honestly haha, the other one you linked me is also nice quality but it's good either way I think :P
** That would be great, for all three XD you may have noticed on the {{PAV|1}} page that I put "second edition" for the new volume's info, this was to leave room to add info on the first edition if it was ever found! i think it would be very cool especially since you mentioned info on this era in Vietnam is particularly rare.
* Okay, that helps me understand a lot better, thanks! I'll wait til you have the confirmation from GoGo (just so we don't accidentally post wrong information) and then we can add that to the merchandise section on the article :)
* Ah, that's awesome! I seem to recall when Project Globe started that we were supposed to avoid tables. But it ends up being pretty boring. I think {{pmin|Thailand}} ended up in a point form list. We'll just continue the format as it is for now, I guess. (Once you get the surnames anyway)
* That's cool, we can add that to the Merchandise section (and I think there's a McDonald's article somewhere that can be added to...)
::::Ok! So I guess for most of that stuff we're just waiting on confirmation for the information and then we can add it. Thanks for sending me the info! If you have any other questions or concerns just let me know!

Some new info:
*I've just added some surnames into my last reply. Is it against the rules? Anyway, it's very hard to find their surnames, since the credit doesn't show them, and I haven't found much info about them on the Internet (especially the Crew). There are many more voice actors, and some voice actors may act for different characters, but I don't know for detail. I will update as soon as I find more.
*I have watched [[BW097|an episode]]. The Pokémon are still dubbed (I believe them now, it's horrible!), and the OP & ED themes still haven't changed since [[BW001]]. In the [[Best_Wishes!_(song)|opening theme]], the series' title is just the red "Pokémon" logo, no BW, no Best Whises, no season 2, no nothing. In some recent episodes, started from [[BW070]], the translated lyrics was added as subtitle in the [[Fanfare of the Heart|ending theme]], while the line "{{tt|Phụ đề|Subteam}} - TVM CORP" is added to the credit.
*I'm sorry but I haven't got the answer from GoGo yet. But I've just thought that, maybe, just maybe, the foundation of Kid's Kingdom VN is related some ways to GoGo? And it seems GoGo also produce their own Pokémon-products, as can be seen [http://kidskingdom.vn/index.php/en/pilot/search/gogo/results,1-80?x=9&y=22&language=en-GB here]. Additionally, from April 5th to May 11th, 2014, by purchasing Pokémon shirts or school-bags (most are produced by GoGo) at Pokémon Shop in AEON MALL Tân Phú Celadon, customers would get a free 2014 calendar that features BW anime (source: [http://kidskingdom.vn/index.php/en/tin-tuc1/item/104-khuyen-mai-tai-gian-hang-pokemon-shop here]). On some days around May 30th, 2014, each purchase here came with a "Pokémon BW" poster from [[Takara Tomy]] that has "more than 600 Pokémon" (I see 648, from {{p|Bulbasaur}} to {{p|Meloetta}}. It has some Pokémon's [[Form differences]], too). Images: [https://www.facebook.com/HoiNhungNguoiThichDoChoiNhatBan/posts/518087548318928 here].
*Some events:
:*1/ On January 11th - 13th, 2014, an opening events was held at Pokémon Shop in AEON MALL Tân Phú Celadon, in which customers could play, take photos with and receive Pokémon balloons from a Pikachu mascot (some photo and video: [https://www.facebook.com/HoiNhungNguoiThichDoChoiNhatBan/photos/a.451206158340401.1073741826.282814611846224/451210528339964 here] and [https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=451659558295061&set=vb.282814611846224 here]).
:*2/ Also in the same mall, on August 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 10th, 2014, a Pikachu mascot visited the CALPIS mini Shop during their event (which ran from August 1st - 10th, 2014; each bunch of CALPIS milk came with a "Pokémon BW" sticker; supply could run out before the end date) between 10am and 10pm and took photos with kids (they also recalled a Pikachu event in 2013, but I don't know details).

:*3/ On some days <s>before</s> (I said "before"? It's actually "''after''". Oops!) the opening ceremony of AEON MALL Bình Dương Canary, there was an opening event at the Pokémon & Hello Kitty Shop located there: Some (I see 2) Pikachu mascots at there; and there was a game called "{{tt|Ghép Hình với Pokémon|Play Puzzle with Pokémon}}" which people could bought tickets to play with some kinds of puzzle boxes (each ticket costs 12000 VND and can only be used to play once by one player from age 3-10; player age below 3 could receive helps from parents), if player could solve a puzzle within 1 minute, he/she will be rewarded with a "Pokémon BW" anime poster (maybe corresponding to the difficulty level which that player had chosen to play before).

:::So, is the McDonald's promotion the same as the one that appeared in Japan in 2012? Or is it just similar? I'm wondering if we should just add all the voice actors now and add the surnames later as we find them. I forgot exactly how I got the "no tables" rule in my head, and I did some searching...turns out the user who founded the project, {{u|electAbuzzzz}}, asked me not to use a table when I made the {{pmin|Latin America}} article for the first time. He never explained why (and he hasn't been to Bulbapedia in many years) but I guess he wants something like the big section we now have on the Latin America page, or something like on the {{pmin|Israel}} page. I'm wondering if we should just use a table after all though. Like {{pmin|Thailand}} has a list format which is practically the same thing and I just noticed {{pmin|South Asia}} has a table anyway!! okay you know what I am doing a table. the Vietnam dub only started with {{series|Best Wishes}}, so the info is very simple. (it's not like some countries where the voice cast changes a lot). but anyway yeah that is my explanation XD
:::I'm going to work on the event stuff another day because I don't want to get too overwhelmed, but {{pmin|Vietnam|I've added some stuff mentioned above}}. Let me know if there are any problems. Feel free to add some of the event stuff or anything you want to the article too, if you're comfortable with it. If you do add to the event section, be sure to mention them in chronological order of occurrence. If the section gets too big, maybe only mention the really important ones. But seems like there's just a couple? anyway as usual let me know if there are any problems :) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 05:09, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
::::Thanks for all of your replies!
:::::*1/ And here's the good news: I've got the confirmation! GoGo said the two Pokémon Shops is the cooperation of 3 companies: GoGo Entertainment Co., Ltd., KID'S KINGDOM TRADING CO., Ltd., and AEON Vietnam (the Vietnam branch of AEON Co., Ltd.).
:::::*2/ About the McDonald's event, no, it's just similar, not exactly the same (I just gave the link as an example), but I don't know if there was actually a same event somewhere on the world :p And, I just intended to write those events only for information and easy handle in the future; so no need to add them into the article right now, just add them whenever you like. I don't want to rush either.
:::::*3/ About the tables, thanks for your explaination! If you feel like you don't want to add table, it's OK, because I was just curious! But if you do add it, I won't stop you!
:::::*4/ For the episode's titles, I found a lot of recorded episodes and the titles are the ones written on the screen, so it's official. I can also ''hear'' the titles of the first 14 episodes, too, but I can't see those texts (because those videos has display-errors), so I'm not sure about the spelling of the proper names or the punctuation marks (mostly exclamation marks) in those titles. There is no other place writing the titles outside the episodes themselves. But the problem is... HTV3 has made too many mistakes. I will add the ones with no HTV3's mistake first, and the others: I must ask you what I should do with them. And I also have the [[Best_Wishes!_(song)#OP_Text|OP Text]], too, and... it has mistakes, too!
:::::*5/ And today, I found this user [[Special:Contributions/Magicknight94|Magicknight94]] who add some HTV3 names/titles, while these users ([[Special:Contributions/Meo3chan|Meo3chan]], who said something about Pokémon in Vietnam in [[User_talk:Meo3chan|his/her Talkpage]], and [[Special:Contributions/Buubuu|Buubuu]], who I think is the leader of Yumei-Anime) have added the first 23 titles of the [[Original series]].

:::::::*2/ On the top of the screen, while the anime is airing, there was a text said "{{tt|BẠN ĐANG XEM POKÉMON|YOU ARE WATCHING POKÉMON}}", but started from [[BW059]], this was changed to "{{tt|BẠN ĐANG XEM POKÉMON - PHẦN MỚI|YOU ARE WATCHING POKÉMON - NEW SEASON}}, before reverting back to normal from [[BW085]] (the first episode of [[Best_Wishes_series#Pocket_Monsters:_Best_Wishes.21_Season_2_.28BW085-BW108.29|Best Wishes!

:::::::*4/ In this segment and in the anime talk, the [[Pokémon Professor|Professors]] is written/refered as "{{tt|Tiến sĩ|Doctor}}", while in the credit, it is "{{tt|Giáo sư|Professor}}".

I had it created on my [[User:Pattyman/Morty's Gengar|userspace]] because of its status of being Morty's signature Pokémon and appeared in games, anime, manga, and as a TCG card. I also created one for [[User:Pattyman/Alain's Charizard|Alain's Charizard]] which appears to be ready for mainspace unless Charizard needed to do more.

==Box Set update==
Viz has revealed information on their next two box sets for the Pokémon Adventures Box Set project, which these two are not too surprising. First on September 1 is the release of the third and final box set for the Black and White mini-volumes. [http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Black-White-Box-Set/dp/1421582775/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1430601049&sr=8-16&keywords=Pokemon+Adventures+Black+and+white+volume] Then on October 6, the same day as the release of the ninth and final volume of the regular Black and White Volumes is the boxset that will have both the FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald arcs. [http://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-Adventures-Fire-Green-Emerald/dp/1421582783/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1430601083&sr=8-5&keywords=Pokemon+Adventures+Box+set] Also right now the cover for the Black and White boxset has been revealed, while the FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald one has not so there is at least one picture you can upload. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 21:17, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

== Changing Username ==

Could you help me? I want to change my username.--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]]) 02:24, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
:Whoa, hey, hey, hey. That is not the way to change your name in your signature. If you really want to change your username, please provide a good, valid reason. Changing usernames is discouraged because it seveerly drains the system resources of the server. You might want to go to your [[User talk:JasonL#Blocked|talk page]] first to see my message. So decide carefully first. Reply if you have decided to change your username. Also, please specify what is the new username you want. Thank you! --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 00:41, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
::JasonL, if you have a valid reason for changing your username aside from this signature fiasco, please share it with me and we can discuss it further. (As per the {{bp|username policy}}, usernames may only be changed one time ever and for a valid reason because as Pokéfan95 mentioned, it is very taxing on our server resources.) Thank you!

== Featured Articles ==
I noticed that [[main page|Bulbapedia]] has the same featured articles since November 14, 2010. [[Sinnoh]] is the most recent article to be featured. I posted this on Bulbapedia's main page's and featured article candidate's talk page, but no one replied. They are five articles pending right now and it has been the same for as long as I can remember. ----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 03:19, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
:As you've observed, Featured Article project has sort of fallen to the back burner. I can't speak for all of the staff, but I'd personally like to see Featured Articles come back one day, and I know I'm not alone on this matter. Unfortunately, it's currently a low-level priority as we have been dedicating a lot of time to more urgent matters such as getting through the backlog of move/split/merge/mainspacing candidates. Once the backlog's been conquered (to a reasonable extent) then we can return to other projects like featured articles. Thanks for your understanding! [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 04:36, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
:: So, pages need to be decided to moved to a page with a different name, merge both to one article, slit into two or made a mainspace page of which is more important than accepting or denying featured article candidates. If that is the case then what pages need to be moved/split/merged/mainspaced? ----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 14:51, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
::: If there is no way I can conveniently see which pages need to be moved/split/merged/mainspaced, that's okay. I was just wandering if I could be any help. Or maybe that is just the staff's job. ----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 01:34, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
::::The candidates can be found in the {{cat|Pages needing attention}} but the Editorial Board are responsible for making the final decision on these ones. If you have a strong opinion about a page's fate, you can still leave a message on that article's talk page (we do read them and consider them when making the decisions). Thanks for your interest though! [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 02:24, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
::::: Okay. There seems to be many candidates that the {{bp|Editorial Board}} needs to decide upon. Thank you for the info! ----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 19:36, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Unova Pokémon League (stage)

[[File:Unova Pokémon League SSB43DS.png|right|thumb|Unova Pokémon League in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].]]
'''Unova Pokémon League''' (Japanese: '''イッシュポケモンリーグ''' ''Isshu Pokémon League'') appears as a playable stage in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], appearing in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game. The music played is either [[N's Castle]] melody or a remix of {{p|Reshiram|Reshiram's}}/{{p|Zekrom|Zekrom's}} battle theme. The stage is based on the {{un|Pokémon League}} of [[Unova]] during the climax of {{game|Black and White|s}}, and takes place in front of [[Alder]]'s chamber.

==Effects==
While playing, [[N's Castle]] will occasionally emerge and extend its stairs onto the ends of the stage, covering the pits, and knocking away any player that gets in its way (such as those holding on to the {{sbw|edge}}). After the castle appears, one of the following Pokémon will appear on the platform in front of Alder's chamber. After the Pokémon leaves, N's Castle's stairs will retract, and the castle will eventually return to the ground, resetting the cycle.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

Red is known throughout as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as the living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is also a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, it is revealed that Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokemon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{p|Pikachu}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.

After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|a package}} back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.

Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. A member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently-invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}—and causing Giovanni to realize that Pokémon battles are about having fun, not business. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.

After returning to Kanto from the Sevii Islands, Red catches the [[Legendary birds]]: {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. He learns of {{p|Mewtwo}}, the only Kanto Pokémon he has not caught. Red makes his way to [[Cerulean Cave]], where he finds and catches Mewtwo. With that, Red has completed the Kanto Pokédex.

Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.

Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.

Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region.

===Pokémon===
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].

When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive a [[ribbon]].

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]

===Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Red's hat appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}}, possibly in reference to the anime or [[Pokémon Adventures]].

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
Red himself appears as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.
{{-}}
==In other games==
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on the Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. Red also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle|Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. A recolor of the original figure named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}}, aptly colored with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|200px|right|Red from Pokemon Origins]]
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash Ketchum, Red's anime counterpart]]
Red's [[cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto and Generation V during Unova, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen.

===In the manga===
===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure manga===
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure]]
Another counterpart of Red makes an appearance in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} while [[Jou]] battled the Gym Leader. Jou then officially encountered Red while on [[Mt. Silver]].

{{-}}

==In other manga==
Red, like most player characters, also has several counterparts in the various Pokémon manga series.

====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Red's anime counterpart, [[Ash Ketchum]], appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{Main|Red (Adventures)}}
{{adv|Red}} is Red's direct counterpart in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
{{main|Shu}}
[[Shu]] from [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] is based on Red.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{main|Red (Pocket Monsters)}}
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} shares his game counterpart's name and appearance in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].

There is also a character in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] named {{OBP|Red|Ruby-Sapphire}} who is a rival of Red and is much stronger than him. This character is based on Red's appearance in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{main|Satoshi (Zensho)}}
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] is based on Red.

==Trivia==
* In the 1997 "Pocket Monsters Official Fan Book," Game Freak teased the supposed appearances of Red, [[Professor Oak]], and [[Giovanni]] in the upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games. They called Red "Satoshi", the Japanese name of his anime counterpart Ash, which is also the namesake of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of his default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before settling on the name "Red", one of the two original color versions of the games.
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite. Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Red's front sprite seem to be a mix of both matching his then official artwork more accurately and matching [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his {{wp|cap}} has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat|Ash's cap]] from the {{series|original}}. This updated front sprite was then recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses the sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as these games were in development at least a year prior to the release of Pokémon Yellow in Japan. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}.
* Red's [[party]] in the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[version mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** All of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the {{p|Bulbasaur}} obtained in [[Cerulean City]]; Blastoise can be evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} obtained in [[Vermilion City]]; Charizard can be evolved from the {{p|Charmander}} obtained on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events.
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four version mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the anime: Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
** His party in the Generation II games also matches that of {{adv|Red}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga during his venture to [[Mt. Silver]], although Pokémon Adventures Red only borrowed {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} and [[Blasty|Blastoise]] temporarily from {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}, respectively, as he didn't ''own'' those Pokémon.
** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's party in [[Generation II]] featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series}} and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his Pikachu at [[level]] 81, beating the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Pokémon Platinum, {{ga|Barry}}'s party received a boost in level, putting his {{pkmn2|starter|starter Pokémon}} at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at levels as high as 100, the maximum possible. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's party a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping at level 88, Red recovered his status as the highest-leveled {{pkmn|Trainer}} opponent. [[Benga]] on [[Challenge Mode]], however, is a close second with a Level 85 on all 3 of his Pokemon. His levels are tied with Barry's on the weekend battles after beating the Champion 30 times.
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s, especially in the [[remake]]s.
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
** Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:

{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}

* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' while Blue's is いしはら ''Ishihara''. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''), and クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]]
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining a {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from [[Generation II]].
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a {{p|Pikachu}}, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding Giovanni and Koga), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with five out of six so far. He is also the only protagonist with this feat.
* Encountering Red on [[Mt. Silver]] in regular gameplay requires that the {{player}} obtains the 16 [[Badge]]s of both [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] (and Kanto itself is only accessible after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] first), then being granted access to [[Mt. Silver]] from [[Professor Oak]]. Despite this, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red can be found at Mt. Silver ''the first time'' right at the beginning of the player's [[journey]] by bypassing the collision data of the overworld maps or by [[cheating]]. This is not possible in [[Generation II]], as the game is programmed to only allow Red to appear at Mt. Silver after the player has entered the Hall of Fame, even though regular gameplay imposes further requirements.
* Red and [[Lance]] share the same unique [[Champion]] battle music in [[Johto]] based games and {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}'s [[Champions Tournament]].

== title_ro ==

So wait, is the <code>title_ro</code> parameter on {{template|Chapterinfobox}} meant for direct translations or romanization? Because the name of the parameter led me to believe it was just the pronunciation. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 01:57, 4/10/2014 (UTC)

== To staff: a few splits ==

I suggested [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:Tiddlywinks&oldid=2097458#Incomplete_splits a number of splits] last Tuesday. That means it's now been over a week, and there's either been no response or hardly any. For the majority that have had no response, there is little chance more waiting will result in someone responding. I understand staff must review these things, so I'd appreciate it if you could bring these splits up with staff and get back to me on whether I would be allowed to perform them when I am ready to.

Perhaps I could implore staff to also consider a different request I made just today. I made [[User:Tiddlywinks/List of Berries by growth stats|this page]], which [[Talk:List of Berries by growth time#This page should include Berry yield|I think]] should replace [[List of Berries by growth time|this one]]. That's a big enough change I think I need some consensus/approval. I know no one's really had a chance to respond to my suggestion at the moment, but you'll have to forgive me if I'm a little pessimistic about the chances of getting any response given the above examples... (And I'm not exactly a model of patience. =P ) I'll be happy enough to remind staff of this one in a week or so if that's necessary, though. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:53, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
:As you may have noticed, we're currently working through a backlog of splits. We're trying to work through the most important ones first, so these may take some time before being reviewed.

==Sprite boxes==
I apologize if this isn't your jurisdiction, but I need to bring something up with the Board. To put it simply, I'm tired of having to dig back sprites from [[Raticate (Pokémon)#Other sprites|Crystal, FireRed/LeafGreen, Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver, and Black 2/White 2]] from the dusty corners of the Archives and putting them onto their articles, where they belong and are, you know, ''used''. The main Sprites box needs to change to account for these missing sprites, which is something I can't do. If individual cells can be given to the front sprites from every game (''particularly'' ones reused from previous games in the same generation), back sprites can have one just as well. Please bring this initiative to the gang, call up whoever's the Wikicode Wizard, and let's get ourselves a truly representative sprite box. Thank you for your time.

P.S. I do think {{DL|Qwilfish (Pokémon)|Japanese sprites}} should either remain the same or be incorporated into the main sprite box in a way that separates them and shows how anomalous they are. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 00:51, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
:Hi! I have brought this up with other staff - it is something we have intended to do for a while, however it's encountered countless issues due to inconsistency of which Pokémon have modified sprites or not. @_@ so it hasn't happened just yet due to it giving problems such as that but rest assured it is something that is actually getting worked on. :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 03:38, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
::Oh good. I won't be adding anymore "Other sprites" then. By "modified sprites," do you mean the Gen IV sprites that are insignificantly different from each other? Though it would be aesthetically nice to combine cells for games that reuse sprites, I know that this would give each Pokémon's sprite box different coding and complicate everything. I don't see how difficult it could be to add a few more columns and rows if we're just gonna build upon the current model, though… Oh, one more thing: How is getting the XY 3D models going? Still stuck on the permissions ordeal? --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 04:16, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
:::Minor point, but are the sprite sections going to be renamed? 3D models aren't sprites after all. And I recall someone mentioning that there're full Stadium and/or Colosseum models buried somewhere on the Archives. If there are, are those going to be added as well? [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 17:42, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
::::We could call it "Depictions" or something. I think the core series should stick together even though X/Y use 3D models, and we could have another box for side games like Stadium and Mystery Dungeon. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 22:34, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
:::::If it becomes an issue, I would suggest turning the Sprites section into a "Pokémon by appearance" section with a sub-section for sprites and for models. At the moment, though, it does not appear to be a big issue. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 01:21, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

== Possible new Berry templates ==

I've [[User talk:Jo The Marten#Berry#In Generation VI Berry list and templates|tried to ask]] Jo the Marten, head of games, whether new templates should be made for use with Gen VI Berries, or whether the old templates should be jerry-rigged to account for the differences, but Jo has not responded despite [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jo_The_Marten being online] a number of times since I asked. Perhaps you can give me an answer instead? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:20, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
:It's not my decision to make alone, but I will bring it up with Jo and Kogoro next time I talk to them. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 20:12, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

== Protean Ability, へんげんじざい = Phantasmagoria? ==

So apparently the old translation for へんげんじざい was {{wp|Phantasmagoria}}, a type of theater invented in the 18th century which basically was more or less shadow puppetry. Someone undid this and changed it to Protean (which strange enough, Google Translate gives as a viable option to replace Phantasmagoria with)

So...what is the deal here...was Phantasmagoria the correct translation and the edit undone or was the edit correct?

If I were to defend Phatasmagoria as the correct one...I would take a guess it has to do with how the user can change their typing like how the projection on the wall changes...or something like that.

Anyways I brought it up to you because you admins are more knowledgeable about this stuff. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 07:00, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

:I apologize for intruding, but I have to note that I originally did translate it as [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Protean_%28Ability%29&diff=1986195&oldid=1986188 protean]. Someone just changed it ''phantasmagoria'' without our notice. へんげんじざい means ''capable of ever-changing appearance'', so ''protean'' (capable of changing shape){{tt|*|The word is derived from ''Proteus'', a shape-shifting sea god in Greek mythology}} is also a viable translation for it. --[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」 08:01, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

== Psychic ==

Can you confirm if [[Ash's Butterfree]] and [[Sabrina's Abra]] used {{m|Psychic}} in the Electric Tale of Pikachu?

:Sabrina's Abra I am going to call a "no, not a chance". There's nothing that even vaguely confirms the use of Psychic, only Teleport. Butterfree, on the other hand, in [[ET03]] Ash calls out "Butterfree, use your Psychic attack!" though there is all capitals in the manga so you can't tell if it's a proper noun ("Psychic" vs "psychic") I'm going to say that's fine anyway.

== [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards]] ==

{{u|Myzou}} asked a question on [[Talk:Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards]], and since you've made significant contributions to that article, I hoped you might be able to answer their question.

I was also wondering if that page should perhaps have scans of the backs of all the cards? Or maybe only for the sticker cards (since they go together to form a larger picture)? Also, are scans of the normal cards preferred over scans of foil versions? And/or is it at all desired to have scans of the foil versions of all the cards? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:22, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
:I never intended to scan the backs, at least for now, since we already have the typed descriptions. Mostly, I'd rather get the fronts of the cards in there. I am also looking to update the other Topps articles to follow the standard I've set out here so that's currently a bigger priority than scanning the backs. Having the sticker cards backs seems like a good idea though, even if it's just put together to show what the completed puzzle looks like. I personally prefer to scan non-foil versions over foil versions if I have both, since I find in my scanner the foil ones show up kinda funny but the non-foil looks better. Again, I wouldn't prioritise scanning both for now. Maybe in the future we could show them side-by-side I guess, but since they show up funny when I scan them and it's the same image, I wouldn't consider it a big deal XD. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 02:41, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
::I understand. I'll just stick to the fronts for the majority and I'll pull out non-foil versions from my extras when I start doing some scanning in the near future.

I just found out that within the next few months Viz is planning to release more box sets for their Pokemon Adventures volumes.

== Topps card scanning tips? ==

Since it sounded (and seems) like you scanned your own cards for the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards]] page, I was wondering if you might have any tips for getting good scans since your images look pretty good (to me anyways).

I tested out my scanner with some cards today, and it's a little short of ideal. If I put the cards against the edge of the scanner (so they're as straight as possible, though still not ''perfect''), part of the edge doesn't get scanned. But if I move them away from the edge, it'll be harder to keep them straight/level.

These are the basic/best examples I produced: [http://www.mediafire.com/view/tvk9q304p4m8cm1/Movie2000_sample_photo-close.jpg "photo" scan] (2 MB {{tt|jpg|This was my first test and I didn't realize it was putting it into a jpg}}), when I had the cards all close together; [http://www.mediafire.com/view/a7jfn0rdtf7d2ij/IMG_20140827_0001doc.png "document" scan] (15 MB png), when I had the cards against the edges and spaced out a bit (when I tried this with "photo" scan, it kept cropping out the cards into individual images...and not doing a stellar job of it); and [http://www.mediafire.com/view/zme76umddz7xjhm/Movie2000_sample_mag-offset.png "magazine" scan] (16 MB png), when I had the cards spaced away from each other and the edges. (The darker "Pokemon at Play" is a foil card.) If you compare the last one to the other two, you can see how part of the edges isn't scanned. And all three also have slightly different qualities (at full size), and I'm not sure which is "best".

Should I just work with one of those and let the minor issues slide (like just straighten out any uneven images in an image manipulation program?), or do you have any tips to make better scans? And which type of scan is the "best" quality, or does it not really matter? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:31, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
:Yes, all the cards I uploaded are scans of my own collection :) I suppose what I do is most like the "document scan", on the flat part of my scanner the bottom right corner has this little arrow dealie and if I line up the cards on that side, the part that gets cut off is the minimum. I line em all up on the bottom so they stay straight (I hate scanning things crooked). If I line them up on the top though or too close to the far left side, too much gets cut off, so I just line up a few at a time starting from that bottom right corner. Honestly though any of your pictures look fine, I would suggest the magazine or document scan if it was me, but go with whatever you think is best quality cause honestly any of them looks acceptable to me. As for individual cards, my scanning program lets me customise the part that gets scanned, so I intentionally leave a bit of extra space around each individual card scan so that I can crop it in image editing software after. The whole thing is awfully time consuming lol. Thanks for helping me with the scans :) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 03:47, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
::I scanned my First Movie cards and this is a pretty representative example of what I came up with: [http://www.mediafire.com/view/b53sj3mejiw25c3/M01_01.png 01] (1.5 MB). I just did some fairly conservative cropping for that (and some others at the moment) and you can see where the edge of the card stops. (Apparently either the sides of the scanner or of the ruler I was using as a straight-edge weren't perfectly perpendicular.)

:For the image, it's about six of one and half a dozen of the other. They're both fine to me. ^^' as for the templates, I assume you mean something [[Template:Black's Pokémon|like this]], right? For Cheren and Bianca, honestly I'd skip it, since they only have one Pokémon each with a full article all to itself, so it doesn't really seem worth it.

::Ok, so what about Wally, can I make one for him (when he gets more pokemon articles for him I mean). [[User:Animaltamer7]]13:56, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
:::Again, I'd skip it for now since only one of his Pokémon has an article. However, like any other character, if circumstances changed and, for example, he has a huge role in a future ORAS story and he gets more Pokémon articles, then sure. Same with the above characters. It's mostly just for ease of navigation. If a character has a lot of Pokémon with articles, the navigation template's useful. If most of the info is already on the character's main page, then skip it. That's why it's mainly Pokédex holders that have navigation templates - since they have more prominent roles in the story, their Pokémon appear more often, they are generally shown with more Pokémon, and their Pokémon often have character development outside of battle.

== ORAS manga ==
Is it too early to be adding in info from Pokemon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom, the new ORAS manga? Dogasu has some info about it though. On another note, I'm not sure if Ataro suggested this before but I was thinking that we should only list locations that have been named, called out, or revealed later on. For example, in the anime (although this example is using a different media), the Pokéathlon was located in Camellia Town instead of next to Johto's National Park. Cities/Towns that don't appear in the games have happened many times before. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
:If you have information, I don't see why it shouldn't be added. I don't know much about that manga yet unfortunately so it's up to you for now :P as for your suggestion, I suppose it seems logical.

As for my other statement; yeah, I do mean how some chapters would say that such as your example with Location: A field. The same would apply if a character mentioned that they are in a numbered route or city from games. However, if someone/chapter mentioned a forest doesn't mean that it was Viridian Forest or Petalburg Forest, could be any forest. Many of the images of the locations I recently uploaded were all locations that were mentioned in the chapter, on a plus side.

Since the lockdown is over, I'll take care of the English titles tomorrow.

:Once you get Volume 19, feel free to add the rounds to Volume 20 as well since it's the last volume.

If it turns out like the Japanese volume (extremely unlikely but whatevs) then you can just add the publications. I'll be getting it on Wednesday anyway so it's all good. Cheers!

I'll let you deal with creating a page like the "Pokémon XY Vol. 1" (and Vol. 2 page) using the titles I translated and modifying the X and Y (chapter) page to improve what I started last night and updating VIZ's profile with the X and Y data if you want. Also I created Volume 20 for Black and White but I need help disabling the next template as there will not be a volume 21 and as easily predicted both 19 and 20 do in fact have 3 chapters each. At this point Viz will only be releasing 3-4 chapters for the mini-volumes.

== Gen VI uploads ==

Since Kogoro would seem busy, I'm hoping someone else can give me an answer on this, and the message on the Archives does say I only need to contact an Advisory Council member... I asked {{u|Kaphotics}} (on Project Pokemon) about X/Y and ORAS images and using stuff on Bulbapedia, and he directed me to a few links where I could find many things of interest. May I upload that stuff to the Archives? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 11:42, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

::I mean a bunch of ripped sprites from the games... (mostly X/Y, I think; some ORAS, I know). Wallpapers, minisprites, bag/menu components, and much, much more. Not every image is quite worth uploading, but there's plenty to work through if I'm given permission. [http://projectpokemon.org/research/oras/ This] is a modest example of some of what I'm referring to. (It was SciresM who actually informed me it was okay to use that research directory.)

::::Thanks for the additional information. The reality is that this is not my decision alone — I still have to discuss this with Kogoro and the other archives staff. I understand it can be frustrating to wait for a response — but my hands are tied right now. It is a busy time of year for all of us with other commitments outside the wiki and I haven't yet had a chance to discuss this with the other staff.

Sorry for the delay in my response, we've all been busy and this sort of thing is not an area of expertise for me, so I have to ask the other staff before going ahead.

The picture for Vol. 2 of VIZ's release is up on Amazon so it would be just about the appropriate time to create a list of volumes for that series.

== Moveentry Templates ==
I'm trying to add the split column like, for example, in Gen. III (RS/FRLG/E) and IV (DP/HGSS/P) and already contacted Kogoro regarding this, but as you noted Kogoro has been absent (the last edit being the 15th). Are you comfortable enough with adding the ORAS tag to allow the column split on those templates? This is really needed only for {{m|Dive}} right now, and I'm about to import a batch of Kalos specimens to check if they are even capable of learning the move, but wanted to wait until the tag was in before actually editing in everything. Dive doesn't exist as an HM in Kalos, hence why I don't want to imply that it does by doing a full column. I did include Wailmer and Wailord since Wailmer can be caught with Dive, and it can be used for testing purposes.

==Pokémon Adventures chapter page idea==
If you saw my recent work, besides providing the last three chapters english titles for Black and White, I also updated the trivia's on the remaining chapters and it got me an idea is that for that it can be improved to cover the volumes where there chapter collections are different from the official numbering since only the official volume number is listed in the volume at the top of that chapter page and I have a few ideas I can suggest if you have any interest. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 03:31, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
:Ah, thank you for adding those trivia. I got the volume a few days ago but I've been busy so I hadn't had a chance to update the titles myself ^^' I'll always listen to any suggestions so fire away :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 03:44, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

:My strongest idea is to improve presentation is this.
For the trivia in PS461
*This round is also collected in:
**[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1]] which is published by [[Viz Media]] in North America and Italy.
**[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|Black and White Volume 1]] which is published by [[Kurokawa]] in France.

The purpose is to keep the relevant trivia together and make it more presentable. It could also be put into its own section and handled a similar way but I think my first idea will work better. While it will start out with similar number volume numbers as the one in the infobox up top, it will later deviate due to the difference for that. Also for now a small trivia can be done for the X and Y chapters, but will need a similar format later in the future once the actual volumes come out. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 04:25, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
:I like it, although I'm not sure if Italy needs to be mentioned... the French volumes should be mentioned, because they're a different format, but the Italian volumes are the same format as the North American ones. (Also they're not published by VIZ Media in Italy so it would get a little long-winded to name both publishers) so idk users can follow the volume link or the "in other languages" links on the {{template|Epilang}} if they want to know the format. But yeah I do like your format overall. so i guess something like

*This round is also collected in:
**[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1]] which is published by [[VIZ Media]] in North America and by J-POP e GP Manga in {{pmin|Italy}}.
**[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|Black and White Volume 1]] which is published by Kurokawa in {{pmin|France}}.

or just cut out the Italy thing altogether and it's good. i agree that it is more organized and nice looking haha :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 04:51, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
:If you don't mind additional input... perhaps instead of in the trivia section we incorporate it in either the intro of the article or within the round template? So, something like "Collected in... and so on. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 05:01, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

:As long as it improves the quality then I am fine with the best solution for this on how it would be presented.

::I might suggest to stick with the trivia for now. The opening line doesn't usually mention what volume it's collected in anyway (except for a few outdated Magical Pokémon Journey articles), and I don't really wanna mess with the code on the template at this time, although it might be good to think about in the future since it's also kind of inflexible with one-shot/non-volume manga. It also begs the question if the [[List of Pokémon Adventures monthly issues|monthly issues]] should be listed with the mini-volumes as well. That would affect more series and might be a factor on me getting someone to help me with the code (code is quite a struggle for me). :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 16:01, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

== In other languages ==
In pages with an "In other languages" section, should the French and Spanish names be marked with "fr" and "es" or "fr_eu" and "es_eu"? Especially in the game-related articles, where the European French versions have been released in Canada, and with Generation VI, where these languages can be selected no matter where the game is bought, it doesn't make sense to mark them that way when there isn't a different "Latin American Spanish" or "Canadian French" translation for the games.

Should Korean terms be romanized or translated? Consistency says that a translation should be used like with Japanese terms, but a lot of pages have romanizations instead. Additionally, if it is to be romanized, what is the romanization method to be used? [[List of Korean Pokémon names]] uses the {{wp|Revised romanization of Korean}} and {{wp|McCune-Reischauer}} methods. -[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:31, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
:I would prefer "fr" and "es" over "fr_eu" and "es_eu" since it reflects that everywhere the game (or whatever media) is available in French or Spanish, those are the names that are used. {{template|Langtable}} actually links to a disambiguating "Pokémon in French" and "Pokémon in Spanish" page anyway. Same for "pt" if it's the same in European and Brazilian Portuguese.
:For the Korean stuff, I would prefer translations to keep consistent like with Japanese terms. I don't have an immediate answer for the romanization style, I'd have to discuss that with the other staff...although it might not be needed anyway if everything's been converted to translations anyway. ^^' [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 03:44, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

== Contest Conditions ==
Hey Zesty, I have noticed that the [[Cool (condition)|con]][[Beautiful (condition)|test]] [[Cute (condition)|con]][[Clever (condition)|dit]][[Tough (condition)|ion]] pages have the requests to add the information from ORAS. I have created [[User:Adamws/Movelist/contest-head/6|this]]. I think that it can be useful because adding the ORAS information into the current template will make it way too wide. Also, some moves have switched their contest conditions (an example is {{m|Aqua Tail}}). Doing the split between Gen III/IV and ORAS contest moves probably would be a better choice then having all together in one table/template.

== [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]], "VIdex" ==

The issue at [[Talk:List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number#Multiple Pokédeces in Generation VI]] has been almost completely ignored by staff, despite bringing up what I believe to be a rather big issue. Allow me, then, to plead it directly with you.

Under [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number#Generation VI]], the "VIdex" column uses unadorned numbers like "001" and "002", despite the fact that, for any such number, there are conceivably ''three'' different Pokedexes which that number may refer to. In some cases (such as Bunnelby and Inkay), this even means that two Pokemon are listed with apparently the same "regional" number. This should not be an acceptable state of affairs.

Earlier this week, I made a user page ([[User:Tiddlywinks/List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]]), hoping to save staff the trouble of fixing the page up themselves and hopefully expediting the resolution of this issue. But it's been a few days and I'm not pleased to see that there's still been no response, despite resorting to a shout-out in my edit summary to the list's talk page. And so we arrive at my decision to finally take this directly to a staff member. I hope you can check my user page and save the changes into the mainspace page soon. Thank you.

(FYI, on my user page, I also tweaked the table headers so that the headers for the "regional" dex columns link to their respective dex pages, and at the same time I tweaked "VIdex" to something I thought more appropriate, considering that the new Hoenn Pokedex could reasonably be considered a "VIdex" as well...)

==X and Y chapter update==
Just confirmed and posted the release dates for Volumes 3-5 of the Viz mini-volumes. However the real reason I am sending you a message is that it looks like for now Viz will only be releasing their volumes once every three months which means four volumes a year. If you decide to put this in the summary then it would be something to consider. On a side note at least there is a smaller chance of Viz having to take a break like they did after volume 8 of Black and White by doing it in a 3 month period instead of a 2 month period. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 17:49, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

== Pokémon in Vietnam ==
I have some questions about the [[Pokémon in Vietnam]] article:
*I don't know about writing a company in English. For example, is "GoGo Entertainment Co., Ltd." usually written with "Ltd." or not?
*Since GoGo Entertainment Co., Ltd. is the company that holds the license to the Pokémon franchise in Vietnam, should we specify their Pokémon Shops in the "Pokémon merchandise" part?
*With the same reason, should we create a page for GoGo Entertainment Co., Ltd.? Or there are not enough info to do that?
*I see you wrote the original anime airdates of [[BW001]] as "January 24, 2014" in the infobox. Did you use the US time or UTC time, or that was jus a mistake?
*Should we update the {{PAV|1}} cover image? (I don't know if the old one is better)
*Should we add an image (like [https://www.facebook.com/PokemonDacBiet/photos/a.1469219370026069.1073741840.1462990797315593/1469216530026353 this]) for the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga's part? '''UPDATE:''' Kim Đồng and GoGo said they're working to gain the rights to re-publish this manga in Vietnam, but it would be very, very difficult, because the contents are considered "not suitable for Vietnamese children" (due to its crudity), and the Japanese partner won't allow them to change the contents and/or pictures (which is nearly what Kim Đồng is doing with the manga Detective Conan). They have been working for this since last year, but as of now, no results have been gained yet.
*Should we change "{{an|Iris}}" into "{{an|Iris|Airisu}}", and "{{an|Cilan|Dent}}" into "{{an|Cilan|Dento}}" in the "Cast and crew" part, because of the HTV3's credit and website?
*INFO: About the logo, some sources (including Kim Đồng) said that the logo you used is official for Pokémon in Vietnam (including both manga and anime), and thus, cannot be changed for whatever reasons.
I will very appreciate if you help me answer all these questions. Thanks for your help! --[[User:Yen01|Yen01]] ([[User talk:Yen01|talk]]) 11:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
:Edit: It seems on some episodes' titles, characters' and Pokémon's names ''are'' the trademarked ones. But on the credit, website, and some of [[Professor Oak's lecture|Doctor Okido's Pokémon Live Caster]], they (including Pokémon's names) are the transliterated hepburn romaji ones. --[[User:Yen01|Yen01]] ([[User talk:Yen01|talk]]) 14:54, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
:Hi! I'll just answer them in order:
* Err, I'm not sure if it really matters, but we can use the longer name if you prefer!
* Yes, that sounds like a good idea!
* I'd avoid making an article just for GoGo Entertainment, though. Part of the idea of the Project Globe articles was to put all the information in one place instead of having lots of small articles for companies, voice actors, etc that exist outside of the Japanese and English versions. We do provide coverage of Pokémon all around the world in lots of different languages (I personally think this is a very cool and unique aspect of Bulbapedia), but we are still primarily focused on the English version (followed by the Japanese version). So long story short, any information about GoGo that is relevant to Pokémon should be added into the Vietnam article instead.
* Oops, I think that was a typing mistake XD I'll fix it now :P
* Is there something wrong with the current image? Did they post a higher-quality version on fb or something?
* Hmm. That might be interesting. We have a similar image on the [[Pokémon in Latin America#Manga|Latin American page]] that a user uploaded, but I believe he uploaded a pic of his own collection. I'd prefer not to use personal images from other fansites, but if we can find an image from Kim Đồng or from someone willing to share a pic of their own collection on Bulbapedia, that would be okay too. Ideally, of course, we'd have individual images of all the covers rather than a photo of a collection. ^^'
* This one I'm not sure... I'll check with the other staff on this one. :X
* Yes, I've noticed that a lot of Asian countries seem to only use the red Pokémon logo...I'm not sure why, but I've seen it too :P

:::Thank you for answering! I have some new info:
:::*About question 1 & 3, I just asked because of my curiousity! I understand now. Question 5, I have re-tweeted the image to you. And question 6, it's a very old and illegal-printed manga, so I don't expect any image from Kim Đồng (but I will inform you as soon as they do). I myself don't have the manga, either. I will ask some friends if they can help me take a few photos for individual volumes in case they still have them (I'll ask for the [[ Pokémon anime novelization series]], too. But should I also ask for the first edittion of Pokémon Đặc Biệt?).
:::*I've had some searches, and it seams GoGo (maybe} is the company that has authorized KID'S KINGDOM TRADING CO., Ltd. to manage a Pokémon Shop opened on January 1st, 2014 in the "AEON Super Market" area on the second floor of AEON MALL Tân Phú Celadon (whose opening ceremony is on January 11th, 2014). On [http://aeon.com.vn/news/aeon-lan-dau-tien-xuat-hien-tai-viet-nam/?lang=en this news page], AEON also mentioned an area called "Kids Republic" on which the Pokémon Shop is located, but I don't know exactly where (I think it's the combination of all shops for kids). On AEON MALL Bình Dương Canary (of which the opening ceremony was on November 1st, 2014), there's also a Pokémon & Hello Kitty Shop which has exactly the same position with the one above. It's also managed by KID'S KINGDOM TRADING CO., Ltd., but I don't know if GoGo has any relation. I also don't know if GoGo has authorized for any other company. I've asked and am waiting for the confirmation from GoGo. Source: [http://kidskingdom.vn/index.php/en/gioi-thieu-2/letter here] and [http://kidskingdom.vn/index.php/vi/gioi-thieu/cua-hang here].

:::*I found an event from last year, which looks like [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/McDonald%27s_Happy_Meal_campaign_launched this]. It ran from April 26th, 2014 at McDonald's Đa Kao (2-6 bis Điện Biên Phủ, Phường Đa Kao, Quận 1, TP. Hồ Chí Minh), and each purchased Happy Meal would come along with one of some free "Pokémon BW" toys (named in the picture: "Eevee and friends", "Emolga Pump", "Genesect Magnetic Turn", "Light Up Pikachu", "Oshawott Water Toy", "Pokémon Telescope", "Mewtwo Gravity Ball", and "Charizard Microscope". I don't know if there was more, but the toys look like they were promoting for [[M16]] and [[PK25]] in 2013, even though those was not aired in Vietnam) until supply ran out. On April 26th and 27th, there was a Pikachu mascot that welcomed, played and took photos with children, and gave them free gifts, Pikachu hats and baloons (or until supply ran out). I don't know if this event was related to GoGo, but... there was no TCG cards. Official Facebook link is [https://www.facebook.com/McDonaldsVN/photos/a.403379839784274.1073741830.402822549840003/516207118501545 here] (they have removed the official webpage, I guess), while some photos and video are [https://www.facebook.com/McDonaldsVN/posts/517606615028262 here], [https://www.facebook.com/McDonaldsVN/photos/a.481788665276724.1073741833.402822549840003/518248168297440 here] and [https://www.facebook.com/HoiNhungNguoiThichDoChoiNhatBan/photos/a.283005495160469.67202.282814611846224/502315186562831/?type=1 here].
:::*While [[Pokémon movie]]s, [[List of anime specials|anime specials]], [[Pikachu shorts]],... have never aired officially on theaters or on TV in Vietnam, some channels picked up some of those translated by some free-subteams like Yumei-Anime on the Internet and aired themselves. For example, VTC11 has once aired [[M10]] made by Yumei-Anime on their own channel.
:::*Remember when I said on Twitter yesterday that I'm not usually free (or, more accurary, not at home) at that time of day? Well, I completely forgot that 9:30 ''is actually'' that time, too, so I can't watch it! >_< I'll have to wait to 17:30, and if I see anything new, I will report it to you! Sunday is always free for me though (if I don't have to teach my sister, AGAIN), and I will be able to watch at both time! ;)
:::*COMPLETELY UNRELATE: The reason why I always mistakenly call "Kim Đồng Publisher" is because of [https://www.facebook.com/nxbkimdong/photos/a.424711303868.222742.99839463868/10152467218978869 their Facebook avatar]! I will try not to do that again in the future XD

::::Hi! I'll go in order again :P
* Oh, okay, I saw your tweet. If you like the old one better then just leave it honestly haha, the other one you linked me is also nice quality but it's good either way I think :P
** That would be great, for all three XD you may have noticed on the {{PAV|1}} page that I put "second edition" for the new volume's info, this was to leave room to add info on the first edition if it was ever found! i think it would be very cool especially since you mentioned info on this era in Vietnam is particularly rare.
* Okay, that helps me understand a lot better, thanks! I'll wait til you have the confirmation from GoGo (just so we don't accidentally post wrong information) and then we can add that to the merchandise section on the article :)
* Ah, that's awesome! I seem to recall when Project Globe started that we were supposed to avoid tables. But it ends up being pretty boring. I think {{pmin|Thailand}} ended up in a point form list. We'll just continue the format as it is for now, I guess. (Once you get the surnames anyway)
* That's cool, we can add that to the Merchandise section (and I think there's a McDonald's article somewhere that can be added to...)
::::Ok! So I guess for most of that stuff we're just waiting on confirmation for the information and then we can add it. Thanks for sending me the info!

Some new info:
*I've just added some surnames into my last reply. Is it against the rules? Anyway, it's very hard to find their surnames, since the credit doesn't show them, and I haven't found much info about them on the Internet (especially the Crew). There are many more voice actors, and some voice actors may act for different characters, but I don't know for detail. I will update as soon as I find more.
*I have watched [[BW097|an episode]]. The Pokémon are still dubbed (I believe them now, it's horrible!), and the OP & ED themes still haven't changed since [[BW001]]. In the [[Best_Wishes!_(song)|opening theme]], the series' title is just the red "Pokémon" logo, no BW, no Best Whises, no season 2, no nothing. In some recent episodes, started from [[BW070]], the translated lyrics was added as subtitle in the [[Fanfare of the Heart|ending theme]], while the line "{{tt|Phụ đề|Subteam}} - TVM CORP" is added to the credit.
*I'm sorry but I haven't got the answer from GoGo yet. But I've just thought that, maybe, just maybe, the foundation of Kid's Kingdom VN is related some ways to GoGo? And it seems GoGo also produce their own Pokémon-products, as can be seen [http://kidskingdom.vn/index.php/en/pilot/search/gogo/results,1-80?x=9&y=22&language=en-GB here]. Additionally, from April 5th to May 11th, 2014, by purchasing Pokémon shirts or school-bags (most are produced by GoGo) at Pokémon Shop in AEON MALL Tân Phú Celadon, customers would get a free 2014 calendar that features BW anime (source: [http://kidskingdom.vn/index.php/en/tin-tuc1/item/104-khuyen-mai-tai-gian-hang-pokemon-shop here]). On some days around May 30th, 2014, each purchase here came with a "Pokémon BW" poster from [[Takara Tomy]] that has "more than 600 Pokémon" (I see 648, from {{p|Bulbasaur}} to {{p|Meloetta}}. It has some Pokémon's [[Form differences]], too). Images: [https://www.facebook.com/HoiNhungNguoiThichDoChoiNhatBan/posts/518087548318928 here].
*Some events:
:*1/ On January 11th - 13th, 2014, an opening events was held at Pokémon Shop in AEON MALL Tân Phú Celadon, in which customers could play, take photos with and receive Pokémon balloons from a Pikachu mascot (some photo and video: [https://www.facebook.com/HoiNhungNguoiThichDoChoiNhatBan/photos/a.451206158340401.1073741826.282814611846224/451210528339964 here] and [https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=451659558295061&set=vb.282814611846224 here]).
:*2/ Also in the same mall, on August 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 10th, 2014, a Pikachu mascot visited the CALPIS mini Shop during their event (which ran from August 1st - 10th, 2014; each bunch of CALPIS milk came with a "Pokémon BW" sticker; supply could run out before the end date) between 10am and 10pm and took photos with kids (they also recalled a Pikachu event in 2013, but I don't know details).

:*3/ On some days <s>before</s> (I said "before"? It's actually "''after''". Oops!) the opening ceremony of AEON MALL Bình Dương Canary, there was an opening event at the Pokémon & Hello Kitty Shop located there: Some (I see 2) Pikachu mascots at there; and there was a game called "{{tt|Ghép Hình với Pokémon|Play Puzzle with Pokémon}}" which people could bought tickets to play with some kinds of puzzle boxes (each ticket costs 12000 VND and can only be used to play once by one player from age 3-10; player age below 3 could receive helps from parents), if player could solve a puzzle within 1 minute, he/she will be rewarded with a "Pokémon BW" anime poster (maybe corresponding to the difficulty level which that player had chosen to play before).

:::So, is the McDonald's promotion the same as the one that appeared in Japan in 2012? Or is it just similar? I'm wondering if we should just add all the voice actors now and add the surnames later as we find them. I forgot exactly how I got the "no tables" rule in my head, and I did some searching...turns out the user who founded the project, {{u|electAbuzzzz}}, asked me not to use a table when I made the {{pmin|Latin America}} article for the first time. He never explained why (and he hasn't been to Bulbapedia in many years) but I guess he wants something like the big section we now have on the Latin America page, or something like on the {{pmin|Israel}} page. I'm wondering if we should just use a table after all though. Like {{pmin|Thailand}} has a list format which is practically the same thing and I just noticed {{pmin|South Asia}} has a table anyway!! okay you know what I am doing a table. the Vietnam dub only started with {{series|Best Wishes}}, so the info is very simple. (it's not like some countries where the voice cast changes a lot). but anyway yeah that is my explanation XD
:::I'm going to work on the event stuff another day because I don't want to get too overwhelmed, but {{pmin|Vietnam|I've added some stuff mentioned above}}. Let me know if there are any problems. Feel free to add some of the event stuff or anything you want to the article too, if you're comfortable with it. If you do add to the event section, be sure to mention them in chronological order of occurrence. If the section gets too big, maybe only mention the really important ones.

:::::*2/ About the McDonald's event, no, it's just similar, not exactly the same (I just gave the link as an example), but I don't know if there was actually a same event somewhere on the world :p And, I just intended to write those events only for information and easy handle in the future; so no need to add them into the article right now, just add them whenever you like. I don't want to rush either.
:::::*3/ About the tables, thanks for your explaination! If you feel like you don't want to add table, it's OK, because I was just curious! But if you do add it, I won't stop you!
:::::*4/ For the episode's titles, I found a lot of recorded episodes and the titles are the ones written on the screen, so it's official. I can also ''hear'' the titles of the first 14 episodes, too, but I can't see those texts (because those videos has display-errors), so I'm not sure about the spelling of the proper names or the punctuation marks (mostly exclamation marks) in those titles. There is no other place writing the titles outside the episodes themselves. But the problem is... HTV3 has made too many mistakes. I will add the ones with no HTV3's mistake first, and the others: I must ask you what I should do with them. And I also have the [[Best_Wishes!_(song)#OP_Text|OP Text]], too, and... it has mistakes, too!

They also stated that they will announce the winners of "{{tt|POKÉMON - TỚ CHỌN CẬU|Pokémon - I Choose You}}" in the future, after they have finished arranging the tour to the print factory.
:::*2/ On the official Pokémon VN Facebook page, a new contest event has been announced [https://www.facebook.com/PokemonVietnamJapan/posts/1061825740512032 here] on April 14th, name "{{tt|CHỤP ẢNH BỘ SƯU TẬP POKÉMON - NHẬN QUÀ TẶNG|Take photos of your Pokémon collection - Receive gifts (I don't know how to translate better)}}", which requires participants take photos of their own Pokémon collection (anything that relates to Pokémon) and send them along with their names, personal information and Facebook link to tuanhuy@gge-vn.com (participants can be from anywhere in Vietnam, not just Hanoi). Emails will be accepted from April 14th to 21st, and they will be posted to the Facebook page for fans to vote. Votes will be counted by the number of Like & Share, with 1 share = 3 likes. Each of the 3 winners will receive 2 Pokémon calendars + 1 poster with (I guess more than) 600 Pokémon follow the order in the Pokédex + 1 Pikachu paper hat.

More contests are said to be held in the future. (And, {{PAV|2}} hasn't been out yet). --[[User:Yen01|Yen01]] ([[User talk:Yen01|talk]]) 14:16, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

== Archived talk page fixes ==
Hey Zesty, I noticed that there are two links in the wanted pages that are remnants from deleted redirect pages on some archived talk pages and I was wondering if you could fix them. The first is [[User talk:Politoed666/Archive 2#Pokémon Colosseum walkthrough|here]] and the second is [[User talk:Force Fire/Archive 2#Walkthroughs|here]]. Thanks! [[User:Adamws|Adamws]] ([[User talk:Adamws|talk]]) 17:39, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

== Article ==

I asked Jo regarding Morty's Gengar having its own article before but she appeared to be too busy. I had it created on my [[User:Pattyman/Morty's Gengar|userspace]] because of its status of being Morty's signature Pokémon and appeared in games, anime, manga, and as a TCG card. I also created one for [[User:Pattyman/Alain's Charizard|Alain's Charizard]] which appears to be ready for mainspace unless Charizard needed to do more. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 00:22, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
:Forgive the lateness of my reply. They look fine, I will run them past the other members of the Editorial Board for final approval. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 15:32, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

==Box Set update==
Viz has revealed information on their next two box sets for the Pokémon Adventures Box Set project, which these two are not too surprising. First on September 1 is the release of the third and final box set for the Black and White mini-volumes. [http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Black-White-Box-Set/dp/1421582775/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1430601049&sr=8-16&keywords=Pokemon+Adventures+Black+and+white+volume] Then on October 6, the same day as the release of the ninth and final volume of the regular Black and White Volumes is the boxset that will have both the FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald arcs. [http://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-Adventures-Fire-Green-Emerald/dp/1421582783/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1430601083&sr=8-5&keywords=Pokemon+Adventures+Box+set] Also right now the cover for the Black and White boxset has been revealed, while the FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald one has not so there is at least one picture you can upload. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 21:17, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

== Changing Username ==

Could you help me? I want to change my username.--[[User:JasonL|JasonL]] ([[User talk:JasonL|Talk]]) 02:24, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
:Whoa, hey, hey, hey. That is not the way to change your name in your signature. If you really want to change your username, please provide a good, valid reason. Changing usernames is discouraged because it seveerly drains the system resources of the server. You might want to go to your [[User talk:JasonL#Blocked|talk page]] first to see my message. So decide carefully first. Reply if you have decided to change your username. Also, please specify what is the new username you want. Thank you! --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 00:41, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
::JasonL, if you have a valid reason for changing your username aside from this signature fiasco, please share it with me and we can discuss it further. (As per the {{bp|username policy}}, usernames may only be changed one time ever and for a valid reason because as Pokéfan95 mentioned, it is very taxing on our server resources.) Thank you!

== Featured Articles ==

I noticed that [[main page|Bulbapedia]] has the same featured articles since November 14, 2010. [[Sinnoh]] is the most recent article to be featured. I posted this on Bulbapedia's main page's and featured article candidate's talk page, but no one replied. They are five articles pending right now and it has been the same for as long as I can remember. ----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 03:19, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Rayquaza''', but only if it knows the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart of the game. It serves to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Along with Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza is a part of the [[weather trio]], serving as its [[trio master]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it plays an important role during the [[Delta Episode]] and is required to be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] there.

==Biology==
Rayquaza is a large, green, serpentine creature. It has red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw.

As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. Its head becomes longer with the {{tt|Δ|Delta}} symbol appearing on its forehead. Its eyes now contain yellow pupils and red irises, and black, tree-like markings trail behind its eyes. Its red lips and teeth become gold, and the gold lines connect to those on its lower horns, which take on a broad, triangular shape. At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing tendrils that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these tendrils have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza's normal form. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing tendril that ends in a circular shape with a spike. Along the length of its body are golden, glowing orbs placed where its ring patterns used to be. The chin, part of the neck, and parts of its serpentine body are changed to the color black. The fins running along its body are now marked with gold lines; the fins on its tail become entirely yellow and substantially longer. Particles stream from the long tendrils that extend from its jutting jaw; these particles can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing Mega Rayquaza to manipulate the weather. Its green hide sparkles with an emerald-like quality.<ref name="Mega">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/mega-rayquaza</ref>

Inside Rayquaza's body lies an organ that contains the same power of a [[Mega Stone]]. A [[Devon Corporation]] scientist named this organ the mikado organ (Japanese: '''ミカド{{tt|器官|きかん}}'''). By consuming meteoroids as it flies through the stratosphere, the mikado organ will be filled with enough energy to enable Rayquaza's Mega Evolution.

It is able to soothe the other members of the weather trio, even in their [[Primal Reversion|Primal Forms]]. Rayquaza can live for hundreds of millions of years in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, where it feeds on water and other particles. Rayquaza is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely}} seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable from that of a meteor. Rayquaza is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Rayquaza M07.png|thumb|220px|left|Rayquaza in the anime]]
[[File:Mega Rayquaza anime.png|thumb|220px|left|Mega Rayquaza in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Rayquaza (M07)]]====
{{OBP|Rayquaza|M07}} first appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fights against {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}, believing it to be invading the Sky High Pokémon's territory when Deoxys was in fact looking for its friend, another Deoxys.

====Other====
In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Rayquaza appeared under ownership of [[Cynthia]], but as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius, making it look like a Shiny Rayquaza.

Rayquaza made its anime episode debut in outer space in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', where it used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the rocket ship Ash and {{ashfr}} and Team Rocket were on, presumably protecting its territory.

A Rayquaza appeared in [[SS028]], where it was seen by {{an|Iris}}.

A Rayquaza appeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]. [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} tried to battle it, but were quickly defeated by the Sky High Pokémon. 

A {{shiny}} Mega Rayquaza is set to appear in [[M18|the eighteenth movie]].

===Minor appearances===
A Rayquaza had a cameo appearance at the beginning introduction of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where it ended up captured by Team Rocket operatives.

A Rayquaza had a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Norman Rayquaza Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Rayquaza in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, {{adv|Wally}} and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Pillar]] and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, {{adv|Ruby}}'s victory over a {{p|Salamence}} was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence rampaged in a lab, accidentally letting Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free. Having been ordered to recapture Rayquaza in the five years he was prohibited from attaining a Gym Leader position, Norman attended the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and scrutinized its tracks, finally discovering that it slumbered atop the [[Sky Pillar]] when it wasn't scouring beyond Earth's atmosphere. With Wally's help, he was able to awaken and take command of Rayquaza, using it to calm {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} in conjunction with Ruby's {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s. When Norman fell under the strain of controlling Rayquaza without a proper medium, it escaped once again, and has not been seen since.

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===
A Rayquaza appears in ''[[PMRS34|Pokémon Task Force In Action!!]]'' where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}, [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} as usual try to stop it from destroying the city.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Rayquaza Brawl.png|thumb|200px|Rayquaza in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
Rayquaza appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands in {{sbw|The Lake}}, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and grabs him, angry at being disrupted. Before it can further attack, {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}} ejects out of his ship, which had crashed and been destroyed by Rayquaza earlier, and rescues Diddy Kong. Enraged, Rayquaza attacks Fox with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but Fox {{sbw|Reflector|reflects}} its attack back at it, sending it reeling back into the water. Rayquaza soon launches back out and engages in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong.

Like all other Subspace Emissary bosses, Rayquaza is later battled again in {{sbw|The Great Maze}}, and can be fought in the {{sbw|Boss Battles}} mode after the latter is unlocked. Its attacks in battle include {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

====Trophy Information====
''A Sky High Pokémon. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all weather-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===

Rayquaza appears as an occasional stage hazard in the Dragonmark Chamber of the Wii U version exclusive stage {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}}, which is based on [[Pokémon X and Y]]'s {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Appearing rarely, it flies across the stage at various angles, dealing damage to fighters. Its path is shown briefly by lightning before it appears, giving players time to avoid it.

===Trophy Information===
''This Dragon- and Flying-type Pokemon usually dwells high in the ozone layer, so it can't be seen from the ground. In the Kalos Pokemon League stage, it occasionally flies at great speed through the Elite Four's Dragon-type chamber, where any fighters in its path will be damaged and launched with great force.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After it is defeated, Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* {{ga|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness}}: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].

==Trivia==
* Mega Rayquaza has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats and the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Mega Rayquaza is the tallest {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** Mega Rayquaza is also the tallest [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon.
** Mega Rayquaza is the tallest [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Mega Rayquaza is the heaviest {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* In games prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Rayquaza has a catch rate of 3.
**Rayquaza's catch rate was raised to 45 in ORAS, likely due to it being a required capture during the storyline.
* Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught at a higher level than the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon before defeating the {{Ho|Elite Four}}. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
* It is said that Rayquaza will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling, but it didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
** However, in Pokémon Emerald the player must get Rayquaza to stop the battle of Groudon and Kyogre in Sootopolis manually. This may mean that Rayquaza can only calm the two down but may not know when and where they are fighting.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon with a [[base stats|base stat]] total of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}} that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon.
* Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Rayquaza|promotion]] poll.
** Rayquaza was also the most voted on the {{DL|List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012|15th anniversary Rayquaza|15th anniversary poll}}, which was for the [[version mascot]]s of the [[core series]] Pokémon games, making it Japan's favorite version mascot.
* Rayquaza is misspelled as "Rayquayza" in {{g|Team Turbo}} in every instance.
* Even though Rayquaza uses {{m|Dig}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], it has no way of learning the move in any Pokémon game.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to do so in the games.
** Rayquaza is also the only [[trio master]] capable of Mega Evolution.
* Mega Rayquaza is tied with both of {{p|Mewtwo}}'s Mega Evolutions for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780.
** This makes it the only Pokémon with a base stat total above 720 that doesn't require a specific held item.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon of the Weather Trio without a [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]], instead having a Mega Evolution.
* When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] Rayquaza, the game will state, "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza", instead of the normal message.

===Origin===
Rayquaza is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Ziz}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sky. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}}. Rayquaza's appearance also draws inspiration from other creatures of myth such as the {{wp|Asian dragon}} and ''{{wp|lindworm}}''. Alternatively, Rayquaza matches the description of the Aztec god {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, who was depicted as a flying serpent, and created the boundary between the earth (including the oceans) and the sky. Its trait of being capable of inhabiting the skies, and living there while subsisting on nothing but dew and particles for centuries, also bears aspects of the legendary Chinese xian hermit sages and East Asian dragons.

====Name origin====
Rayquaza most likely refers to ''{{wp|Raqiya}}'', the Hebrew word for "firmament". It also may be a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Alternatively, it may be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'' (violent or furious), 空 ''kū'' (sky), and 座 ''za'' (seat or location), which can be taken to mean "one that sits in the ferocious heavens".

Rayquaza's mikado organ refers to 帝 ''mikado'' (emperor), another name of {{wp|Emperor of Japan}} or 天皇 ''tennō'' in Japanese, which can be translated as either "heavenly sovereign" or "king of the heaven/sky".

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=dragon|type2=flying
|ja=レックウザ ''Rayquaza''|jameaning=Possibly from ''ray'' and ''quasar''. Alternatively, it may be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'' (violent or furious), 空 ''kū'' (sky), and 座 ''za'' (seat or location), which can be taken to mean "one that sits in the ferocious heavens".

{{bulbanews|game}}
The '''Pokémon Bank''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンバンク''' ''Pokémon Bank'') is a downloadable online application for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] that is available for the {{wp|Nintendo eShop}}. It serves as a complement to [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X, Y]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire]], and the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

Due to server expenses, use of the software requires the payment of an annual fee. This fee is ¥500 in Japan, $4.99 in {{pmin|the United States}} and {{pmin|Canada}}, £4.49 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, €4.99 in Europe, $6.50 in {{pmin|Australia}}, $8.50 in {{pmin|New Zealand}}, ₩5000 in {{pmin|South Korea}}, $150 in {{pmin|Greater China|Taiwan}}, $40 in {{pmin|Greater China|Hong Kong}} and R$ 8.99 in {{pmin|Brazil}}. A free 30-day trial was offered and could be instated until January 31, 2014 before the service was postponed due to server issues.<ref name=pokemoncojp/> An Internet connection is required to download and use the service.

==Features==
===Pokémon Storage===
[[File:XY Prerelease Pokémon Bank box.png|thumb|Pokémon Bank being used in a copy of Pokémon X]]
The main feature of Pokémon Bank is the possibility of [[Player character|player]]s depositing up to 3000 Pokémon from the games in an online cloud. The referred cloud will work as a [[PC]], and will have 100 Boxes capable of carrying, like in a normal PC, 30 Pokémon each. Boxes can also be categorized into groups (with a maximum of 10 groups), and the player can customize the name of each group. The service features extensive search options and filters, allowing the player to locate deposited Pokémon. Pokémon from Generation VI games can be transferred to the service individually, or entire Boxes can be transferred at once.

[[Brigette]] (the host of [[Pokémon Box Ruby and Sapphire]]) maintains the Pokémon Bank service. She gives the player 100 [[Poké Mile]]s when Pokémon are deposited for the first time into Pokémon Bank, although the player can also opt to receive 1 [[Battle Point]] for Every 10 Poke Miles as a reward instead. Additional Poké Miles are awarded for the length of time that a given Pokémon is deposited into Pokémon Bank. The amount of Poké Miles earned by the player increases if more Pokémon are deposited into Pokémon Bank. Both Poké Miles and Battle Points are sent to Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire using the in-game option called Pokémon Link.

Pokémon that are holding [[Berry|Berries]] or other [[item]]s cannot be deposited into Pokémon Bank, and it is advised to return any held items to the [[Bag]] prior to depositing Pokémon. If the player attempts to deposit Pokémon that are holding Berries or other items, the items will be removed and sent to the player's Bag. Items held by Pokémon being deposited into Pokémon Bank will disappear if the player's bag is full.

[[:Category:Pokémon that evolve through trading|Pokémon that]] [[evolution|evolve]] via [[trade|trading]] will not evolve when deposited in or withdrawn from Pokémon Bank.

Any number of physical or digital copies of Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire can be used in conjunction with the service. Pokémon Bank can be utilized at any point after the player obtains the [[Pokédex]] in Pokémon X and Y. The service cannot be used if a new game in Pokémon X and Y has not been started. If a player owns multiple copies of Pokémon Bank on different Nintendo 3DS systems, Pokémon cannot be transferred between those Pokémon Banks.

Pokémon Bank accounts are tied to the user's [[Nintendo Network]] ID, which cannot be used across multiple Nintendo 3DS systems. While Pokémon X and Y are region-locked themselves, Pokémon Bank can still communicate with an X or Y game card of any region when it is inserted into a Nintendo 3DS, although Nintendo does not make any guarantee for the performance of software or systems in the Nintendo 3DS family when used outside of their intended regions.

When Pokémon Bank (along with Poké Transporter) is downloaded, any restrictions on the Nintendo 3DS system for Shopping Services need to be removed within the Parental Controls before Pokémon Bank can be utilized. Any restrictions set in place pertaining to usage of the Nintendo 3DS's Internet browser also require removal each time that the Pokémon Bank software is used.

After the expiration of the aforementioned trial period, Pokémon in Pokémon Bank can still be withdrawn (without an annual pass) for a set period of time before the Pokémon are lost.

===Poké Transporter===
{{main|Poké Transporter}}
After the download of Pokémon Bank, it is possible to use a separately downloaded application, the Poké Transporter, to transfer Pokémon from [[Generation V]] games to the cloud. After this, it is possible to complete such migration by simply downloading them to the [[Generation VI]] game.

Anything that can be transferred from older generation games to Generation V is transportable. That means Pokémon as far back as [[Generation III]] can be transferred—those from Generation III have to be transferred to [[Generation IV]] using the [[Pal Park]] and then to Generation V at the [[Poké Transfer Lab]]. From there, they can be sent to the Bank.

Additionally, the migration of certain Pokémon from Generation V via Pokémon Bank will trigger the availability of related items within Pokémon X and Y. The transfer of {{p|Kyurem}} and {{p|Genesect}} allows the [[DNA Splicers]] and the [[Drive]]s, respectively, to become available within X and Y.

===Event Pokémon===
====Celebi====

If the player accessed Pokémon Bank before September 30, 2014, they could receive a special event {{p|Celebi}}. This Celebi knew {{m|Hold Back}}, an event-exclusive move similar to {{m|False Swipe}}.

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Rayquaza''', but only if it knows the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart of the game. It serves to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Along with Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza is a part of the [[weather trio]], serving as its [[trio master]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it plays an important role during the [[Delta Episode]] and is required to be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] there.

==Biology==
Rayquaza is a large, green, serpentine creature. It has red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw.

As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. Its head becomes longer with the {{tt|Δ|Delta}} symbol appearing on its forehead. Its eyes now contain yellow pupils and red irises, and black, tree-like markings trail behind its eyes. Its red lips and teeth become gold, and the gold lines connect to those on its lower horns, which take on a broad, triangular shape. At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing tendrils that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these tendrils have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza's normal form. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing tendril that ends in a circular shape with a spike. Along the length of its body are golden, glowing orbs placed where its ring patterns used to be. The chin, part of the neck, and parts of its serpentine body are changed to the color black. The fins running along its body are now marked with gold lines; the fins on its tail become entirely yellow and substantially longer. Particles stream from the long tendrils that extend from its jutting jaw; these particles can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing Mega Rayquaza to manipulate the weather. Its green hide sparkles with an emerald-like quality.<ref name="Mega">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/mega-rayquaza</ref>

Inside Rayquaza's body lies an organ that contains the same power of a [[Mega Stone]]. A [[Devon Corporation]] scientist named this organ the mikado organ (Japanese: '''ミカド{{tt|器官|きかん}}'''). By consuming meteoroids as it flies through the stratosphere, the mikado organ will be filled with enough energy to enable Rayquaza's Mega Evolution.

It is able to soothe the other members of the weather trio, even in their [[Primal Reversion|Primal Forms]]. Rayquaza can live for hundreds of millions of years in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, where it feeds on water and other particles. Rayquaza is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely}} seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable from that of a meteor. Rayquaza is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Rayquaza M07.png|thumb|220px|left|Rayquaza in the anime]]
[[File:Mega Rayquaza anime.png|thumb|220px|left|Mega Rayquaza in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Rayquaza (M07)]]====
{{OBP|Rayquaza|M07}} first appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fights against {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}, believing it to be invading the Sky High Pokémon's territory when Deoxys was in fact looking for its friend, another Deoxys.

====Other====
In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Rayquaza appeared under ownership of [[Cynthia]], but as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius, making it look like a Shiny Rayquaza.

Rayquaza made its anime episode debut in outer space in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', where it used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the rocket ship Ash and {{ashfr}} and Team Rocket were on, presumably protecting its territory.

A Rayquaza appeared in [[SS028]], where it was seen by {{an|Iris}}.

A Rayquaza appeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]. [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} tried to battle it, but were quickly defeated by the Sky High Pokémon. 

A {{shiny}} Mega Rayquaza is set to appear in [[M18|the eighteenth movie]].

===Minor appearances===
A Rayquaza had a cameo appearance at the beginning introduction of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where it ended up captured by Team Rocket operatives.

A Rayquaza had a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Norman Rayquaza Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Rayquaza in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, {{adv|Wally}} and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Pillar]] and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, {{adv|Ruby}}'s victory over a {{p|Salamence}} was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence rampaged in a lab, accidentally letting Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free. Having been ordered to recapture Rayquaza in the five years he was prohibited from attaining a Gym Leader position, Norman attended the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and scrutinized its tracks, finally discovering that it slumbered atop the [[Sky Pillar]] when it wasn't scouring beyond Earth's atmosphere. With Wally's help, he was able to awaken and take command of Rayquaza, using it to calm {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} in conjunction with Ruby's {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s. When Norman fell under the strain of controlling Rayquaza without a proper medium, it escaped once again, and has not been seen since.

===In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga===
A Rayquaza appears in ''[[PMRS34|Pokémon Task Force In Action!!]]'' where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}, [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} as usual try to stop it from destroying the city.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Rayquaza Brawl.png|thumb|200px|Rayquaza in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
Rayquaza appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands in {{sbw|The Lake}}, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and grabs him, angry at being disrupted. Before it can further attack, {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}} ejects out of his ship, which had crashed and been destroyed by Rayquaza earlier, and rescues Diddy Kong. Enraged, Rayquaza attacks Fox with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but Fox {{sbw|Reflector|reflects}} its attack back at it, sending it reeling back into the water. Rayquaza soon launches back out and engages in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong.

Like all other Subspace Emissary bosses, Rayquaza is later battled again in {{sbw|The Great Maze}}, and can be fought in the {{sbw|Boss Battles}} mode after the latter is unlocked. Its attacks in battle include {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

====Trophy Information====
''A Sky High Pokémon. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all weather-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===

Rayquaza appears as an occasional stage hazard in the Dragonmark Chamber of the Wii U version exclusive stage {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}}, which is based on [[Pokémon X and Y]]'s {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Appearing rarely, it flies across the stage at various angles, dealing damage to fighters. Its path is shown briefly by lightning before it appears, giving players time to avoid it.

===Trophy Information===
''This Dragon- and Flying-type Pokemon usually dwells high in the ozone layer, so it can't be seen from the ground. In the Kalos Pokemon League stage, it occasionally flies at great speed through the Elite Four's Dragon-type chamber, where any fighters in its path will be damaged and launched with great force.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After it is defeated, Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* {{ga|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness}}: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].

==Trivia==
* Mega Rayquaza has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats and the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Mega Rayquaza is the tallest {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** Mega Rayquaza is also the tallest [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon.
** Mega Rayquaza is the tallest [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Mega Rayquaza is the heaviest {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* In games prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Rayquaza has a catch rate of 3.
**Rayquaza's catch rate was raised to 45 in ORAS, likely due to it being a required capture during the storyline.
* Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught at a higher level than the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon before defeating the {{Ho|Elite Four}}. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
* It is said that Rayquaza will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling, but it didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
** However, in Pokémon Emerald the player must get Rayquaza to stop the battle of Groudon and Kyogre in Sootopolis manually. This may mean that Rayquaza can only calm the two down but may not know when and where they are fighting.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon with a [[base stats|base stat]] total of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}} that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon.
* Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Rayquaza|promotion]] poll.
** Rayquaza was also the most voted on the {{DL|List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012|15th anniversary Rayquaza|15th anniversary poll}}, which was for the [[version mascot]]s of the [[core series]] Pokémon games, making it Japan's favorite version mascot.
* Rayquaza is misspelled as "Rayquayza" in {{g|Team Turbo}} in every instance.
* Even though Rayquaza uses {{m|Dig}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], it has no way of learning the move in any Pokémon game.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to do so in the games.
** Rayquaza is also the only [[trio master]] capable of Mega Evolution.
* Mega Rayquaza is tied with both of {{p|Mewtwo}}'s Mega Evolutions for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780.
** This makes it the only Pokémon with a base stat total above 720 that doesn't require a specific held item.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon of the Weather Trio without a [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]], instead having a Mega Evolution.
* When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] Rayquaza, the game will state, "(player's name)'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza", instead of the normal message.

===Origin===
Rayquaza is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Ziz}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sky. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}}. Rayquaza's appearance also draws inspiration from other creatures of myth such as the {{wp|Asian dragon}} and ''{{wp|lindworm}}''. Alternatively, Rayquaza matches the description of the Aztec god {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, who was depicted as a flying serpent, and created the boundary between the earth (including the oceans) and the sky. Its trait of being capable of inhabiting the skies, and living there while subsisting on nothing but dew and particles for centuries, also bears aspects of the legendary Chinese xian hermit sages and East Asian dragons.

====Name origin====
Rayquaza most likely refers to ''{{wp|Raqiya}}'', the Hebrew word for "firmament". It also may be a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Alternatively, it may be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'' (violent or furious), 空 ''kū'' (sky), and 座 ''za'' (seat or location), which can be taken to mean "one that sits in the ferocious heavens".

Rayquaza's mikado organ refers to 帝 ''mikado'' (emperor), another name of {{wp|Emperor of Japan}} or 天皇 ''tennō'' in Japanese, which can be translated as either "heavenly sovereign" or "king of the heaven/sky".

==In other languages==

'''Tabitha''' (Japanese: '''ホムラ''' ''Homura'') is one of the {{tc|Magma Admin|Admin}}s of [[Team Magma]].

==In the games==
{{cleanup}}
Tabitha is a Team Magma Admin in the [[Generation III]] games, as well as their remakes, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}, he makes only two cameos: at [[Meteor Falls]] and at [[Seafloor Cavern]], alongside [[Maxie]] and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]. [[Aqua Admin Matt]] fulfills the roles he has in Ruby.

In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}}, the {{player}} confronts him twice: the first time he brings to Maxie the {{key|III|Meteorite}} stolen at Meteor Falls and the player has to battle him before battling Maxie. Later he assists the [[Maxie|Magma Leader]] in stealing the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] and then he must be battled at [[Team Magma Hideout|Magma Hideout]].

In {{game|Emerald}}, he is first met at [[Mt. Chimney]], doing the same task as in Ruby. Tabitha reappears later in the game in the [[Team Magma Hideout|new hideout inside the volcano]], before Maxie awakens {{p|Groudon}}. Later, he assists the Magma leader in a Tag Battle at [[Mossdeep Space Center]] against the player and {{Steven}}.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Tabitha's design is overhauled and his back story expanded. It is revealed in the Team Magma Hideout in Omega Ruby that Tabitha used to work for [[Devon Corporation]]. {{tc|Aqua Admin}} [[Shelly]] fulfills Tabitha's roles in Alpha Sapphire.

In these games, Tabitha is shown to be loyal to Maxie. He is also shown to throw occasional tantrums when things do not go the way he desires.

====[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version]]====
;First adventure
*Before battle (talking to [[Aqua Admin Matt]])
:''"You there! Oversized brute! Clear the path! We, the mighty Team Magma, will be the ones to obtain that Mega-Evolving Pokémon!"
:(Matt laughs and calls him a "Makuhita man".)
:''"Wh-wha-what?! I have never been so humiliated! You compare ME, Tabitha, the next Chief Admin of Team Magma, to a Makuhita?! You'd better at least make it a Hariyama!"''
:(Matt laughs and challenges him to a battle.)
:''"... I don't understand this brute at all... Frightening... It looks as though I have no choice. I'll give you a good taste of the overwhelming power an Admin wields!"''
:(The player appears.)
:''"Huh? Who is this?!"''
:''"Hm, hm. Seems like that child's here to get in our way. ...Making this no time for me to be picking fights with oversized brutes. My friend, I suggest we call a temporary truce. Let's work together to wipe out this meddling child!"''
:(Matt makes fun of Tabitha again.)
:''"...This one is proving to be quite a handful. Let's crush this impudent child!"''
:([[Steven Stone|Steven]] shows up.)
:''"Ahyahya! I pray you don't underestimate me! Admin Tabitha of Team Magma is not about to fall for any last-minute trickery!"''
*When defeated
:''"Hyuhn?!"''
*After being defeated
:''"Ahya! How could this be? For an Admin like me to lose to some child and a silver-haired pretty boy... M-my evaluation from Leader Maxie will surely go down if he learns of this!"''
:''"Remember this moment, child! And you there, pretty boy! Someday, I'll pay you back for this! Ahyahyahya!"''

;Secret adventure
*Before battle
:''"You! You're that fool child from before! And now you've found yourself a girl?"''
:({{ga|May}} says she won't let them do anything bad.)
:''"Why must you always get in my way? You infuriating little pests! This time, I'm going to crush you good and proper!"''
*When defeated
:''"Yet again?! Hyuhn?!"''
*After being defeated
:''"Hah... Hah... Ahyahyah... You are most unpleasant children, indeed. You cannot seem to get enough of making my plans fail... I will retreat for the moment. But I will repay you for this."''

====Pokémon Omega Ruby====
'''Meteor Falls'''
*Before battle
:''"Hyuh? What have we here? Why has this child suddenly appeared?"''
:''"Ahyahyahya! Isn't this amusing?! Is it really your intention to oppose me, a Team Magma Admin, just the two of you? Mmm... Very well then! I'll show you how terrifying adults can be! Ahyahyahya! I'm going to give you some very thorough coaching!"''
*When defeated
:''"Hyuhn?"''
*After being defeated
:''"Hyuhn?! An unexpected development?!"''
:''"You children! I would like you to stay out of my way! Team Magma's scientific prowess, Mt. Chimney's energy... And the hidden power of the Meteorite! If we combine them all, a super-ancient Pokémon..."''
:''"Hyahya! Even Team Aqua is making an appearance! The odds do not appear to be in my favor..."''
:''"'''You there! I'll have the Meteorite now!"''
:''"Ahyahya! The Meteorite is in the palm of my hand! Well, well, well... Adios to each and every one of you! At long last I'm off to {{color2|78b8e0|Mt. Chimney}}!"''

'''Mt. Chimney'''
*Before battle
:''"Hyahyahya?! It's you! You're the one who tried to interrupt me, Tabitha, at Meteor Falls! D-d-do you intend to get in my way once more? Unngh! You're really... really, really, really, really, really, really... really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really... reeeallllyyyy... an obnoxious child, aren't you?! Ahh... Ah... I will...crush you. So that you..never get in my way...again."''
*When defeated
:''"Yet again? Hyuhn!"''
*After being defeated
:''"I knew you would be strong. What a shame, though! The Meteorite we got from Professor Whoever is already in our Boss's hands! Where's the Boss, you ask? Ah, yes, yes, right this way! Oh, I do hope that you can be shown Team Magma's true power! Ahya! Ahyahyahyahya!"''

'''Weather Institute'''
:''"Just...what...is this... D-d-did Leader Maxie know that it would happen like this?!"''
:''"Oh, shut it!"''
:''"Just what is going on around here?! Ahyahya! Even I, Tabitha, am feeling all discombobulated. Leader Maxie! What are you trying to do?! ...To the world. ...To us. ...To Team Magma. This can never, ever be forgiven!"''
*Before battle
:''"Ahya. Are you one of my fans? You're that same kid who's always popping up! I can't believe you're even following me around in my private life. Ahyahya! Well, that's all right! Maybe I'l just clear up this intensely unpleasant feeling I have welling up inside of me... By beating you to a pulp!"''
*When defeated
:''"Ahyahya!"''
*After being defeated
:''"Hah... Hah... Ahya... Ahya... Good grief... Today has been absolutely nothing but stress! I can't take it... It's so unpleasant! You better listen, you stress-inducing child. When Leader Maxie's plan has been executed, twilight will fall upon the world. The Primordial Sea will be changed to Desolate Land. In other words, all life... Child! What do you think you can do in the face of that which is to come? I'm looking forward to seeing you rush into action! Ahya! Ahyahyahyahya!"''
:''"The Leader should be headed for {{color2|00aeef|Mt. Pyre}}... Which means I..."''

'''Slateport Harbor'''
:''"We are in accord, Leader Maxie... You Grunts, here! Until our Leader and I, your Admin, have made our escape in the submarine, stay here and buy us some time!"''
:''"This way, Leader Maxie... We should make haste."''

'''Seafloor Cavern'''
:''"Wait! Maxie!"''
:''"Do stop that now... Please! Maxie! You just don't understand! What Groudon will bring about upon awakening is an end to the world!"''
:''"Ohh... What have you done... Boss... What..."''
:''"Boss?! Maxie?! Just what's happening on the surface?!"''
:''"So the information we received from the Weather Institute was true... Boss Maxie! We'll never get anywhere just standing around here like this! There isn't a moment to spare! We must confirm the situation on the outside!"''
:''"Child! You're coming, too! Hurry up!"''

'''Route 128'''
:''"What..."''
:''"Boss... Maxie..."''
:''"Let's go. Boss Maxie..."''

'''Sootopolis City'''
:''"Leader Maxie...to that child...?"''
:''"We had actually been preparing [[List of key items in Generation VI#Magma Suit|that]] in anticipation of making contact with Groudon... But at this point, it doesn't look like there's any hope of that for us... There's nothing we can do except leave it to you."''
:''"That's true. It is very possible that its energy could be far greater than our calculations show."''
:''"All right! Now is the time for us to carve out a new future with our scientific prowess! For the pride of Team Magma, we will struggle ferociously!"''
*After confronting Groudon
:''"It's as if the uncertainty and fear from moments ago never even existed. My heart feels like it's been softly set at ease..."''
:''"Leader... Without a doubt, you have committed an offense that can never be forgiven. You have wronged not only Team Magma but all living things on this planet, whether great or small. However, that is precisely why you must now set things right. You must continue to atone for the sins you have committed, even at the risk of your own life... To set right the wrongs you've done, without running away in fear—isn't that how an adult accepts responsability?"''
:''"... Should you find the resolve to do so inside yourself, then I... Team Magma Admin Tabitha... I will serve at your side as counsel forever."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Tabitha.png|thumb|200px|right|Tabitha in the anime]]
Although the Generation III games show there to be at least two Magma Admins, only Tabitha ever appeared in the anime. His first appearance was in ''[[AG027|A Three-Team Scheme!]]'', where he led a group of Magma grunts in an exploration of some ancient ruins on [[Dewford Island]] in search of the [[Cave of Origin]]. They also had a confrontation with Team Aqua. Due to a dubbing error, he was mistakenly referred to as "Field Commander '''Harlan'''" during this episode, though his name was corrected in all subsequent appearances.

Tabitha appeared again in ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]''. He and two Magma grunts broke into the [[Oceanic Museum]] in order to steal a rock sample owned by [[Captain Stern]]. Although Ash and his friends attempted to stop them, Team Magma successfully made off with most of the sample.

In ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite!]]'', Tabitha led a squad of Magma grunts on a mission to [[Mt. Chimney]], first stealing a meteorite from [[Professor Cozmo]] and then using it to power an experimental machine affecting the volcano. However, their plans were ultimately thwarted by Ash and Cozmo.

His final appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. His submarine accidentally picked up Ash and his friends while out on patrol, bringing them to Team Magma's base. He was present for the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, and like the rest of Team Magma, has not been seen since.

==In the manga==
===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Tabitha Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Tabitha]]
Tabitha, known as '''Mitch''' in the [[Chuang Yi]] translation, is one of the [[Three Fires]]—Admins of Team Magma—along with [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] and [[Blaise]].

Like all of the Three Fires, Tabitha has a special lighter that can transmit and record images by burning them on paper.

Tabitha's specialty is direct, using his Torkoal's smoke to hypnotize and poison.

{{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} were traveling along {{rt|107|Hoenn}} when they encountered Courtney and Tabitha. The two Magma Admins were trying to steal a deep sea scanner from the wreckage of the [[Abandoned Ship]].

Later, Team Aqua used the meteorite to cause Mt. Chimney to cease its activity. Sapphire and [[Flannery]] tried to prevent this but failed. Tabitha and Flannery cooperated to destroy Team Aqua's machine, but they were unable to re-start the volcano. However, this incident would later cause Flannery to side with Team Magma when the Gym Leaders of Hoenn wanted to choose sides.

[[File:Tabitha snaps.png|thumb|200px|left|Tabitha losing his mind]]
When [[Maxie]] attempted to control both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} through the Red and Blue Orbs (which Blaise stole for him conveniently before [[Team Aqua]] made an alliance with Team Magma), he discovered that it would be too much for his mental capacities to handle. Therefore he handed the Blue Orb to Tabitha, telling him to suppress Kyogre's will of battling. However, one of the [[Subleaders of the Sea Scheme|Aqua Admins]], [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]], managed to get the orb to [[Archie]], who then abandoned the loyal minion.

[[File:Tabitha RS end.png|thumb|200px|right|Tabitha at the end of the fourth chapter]]
But this event left a residue effect on Tabitha, as [[Wallace]] found out during their battle in the {{ci|Lilycove}} Department Store, which he lost horribly. Even though Tabitha had only touched the orb for a short period, Kyogre's influence still managed to slip through since he did attempt to control the sea titan, causing him to go out of his mind and rampage upon the former champion. {{Steven}} managed to knock him out with his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}'s {{m|Meteor Mash}} when he attacked Wallace wildly.

He, along with most other Team Magma and Aqua members, appears to have disappeared after the Groudon and Kyogre incident, though Flannery has spotted him in a crowd in [[Lavaridge Town]] once, ready to bathe in the revived springs.

|desc={{p|Torkoal}} is Tabitha's main Pokémon. It is notably used to use its smoke to hypnotize and poison anyone. He first used it to attack {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. It was about to defeat them until Ruby gives them his diary. He does this by telling them to give up the Cheering Pokémon. The diary Ruby gives them turns out to be a distraction for Team Magma so that they could get hit by Plusle and Minun's attacks. Torkoal was used again when Team Magma raided the Slateport City Contest and kidnapped Ruby and the President of the Fan Club. Later, Tabitha used it to battle [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]]'s {{p|Volbeat}} after he interfered with a {{m|Tail Glow}} attack. It defeated the Volbeat by putting it to sleep.

Torkoal's known moves are {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Heat Wave}} and {{m|Smog}}, and its Ability is {{a|White Smoke}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Tabitha, like [[Shelly]], has been the subject of two name changes over two mediums: '''Harlan''' in the anime and '''Mitch''' in the Chuang Yi translation of ''Pokémon Adventures''. "Harlan" was later corrected to Tabitha after his initial debut; he remained "Mitch" throughout the entire {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire|Ruby & Sapphire arc}} in Chuang Yi's version.
* Tabitha seems to have gained some weight since {{g|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire}} and {{g|Emerald|Emerald}}.
