[[File:Missingno RB.png|thumb|right|[[MissingNo.]], a well-known glitch Pokémon]]
A '''glitch Pokémon''' is a garbage {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} species that only exists in the games due to programming oversights, when the game attempts to gather data for an invalid Pokémon.

Some glitch Pokémon have partially defined characteristics, such as "[[MissingNo.]]" or "{{?|10}}". Another example of this is the learn-set data for a [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|Egg}}, where it learns {{m|Splash}} as a starting move, likely to prevent the game from [[Game freeze|crashing]] due to an [[list of glitch moves|invalid move]] being used.

In [[Generation I]], some glitch Pokémon may freeze the game if sent out on the opponent's side, depending on their Pokédex number and the version used, and glitch Pokémon with index numbers greater than 199 will usually bring up [[glitch Trainer]]s if encountered directly in the wild. These glitch Pokémon cannot be obtained via a wild battle, and must be obtained using a different glitch from the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} or [[old man glitch]], such as [[evolution]] from another glitch Pokémon, trading an equivalent [[index number]] glitch Pokémon to another version, or by executing the [[Time Capsule exploit]].

Additionally, catching certain obtainable glitch Pokémon in Generation I may cause endless [[Pokédex]] data to appear. To avoid this, the player must have activated a specific flag, if this is a [[Glitch Pokémon family|hybrid glitch Pokémon]], the flag is activated by either seeing a specific Pokémon or owning a specific Pokémon. Specific glitches (like the {{m|Super Glitch}} move or the [[ZZAZZ glitch]]) may cause the saved file to be corrupted or erased.

==Glitch Pokémon==
{{main|List of glitch Pokémon}}

==Trivia==
* There are 39 [[MissingNo.]] with identifiers in between real Pokémon, which would add up to 190 Pokémon.
** [[Shigeki Morimoto]] confirmed that there were once 190 Pokémon planned for development in Pokémon Red and Green.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2958170#post2958170 Smogon Forums]</ref> MissingNo. is partially derived from blank entries in the various Pokémon data arrays. Most of its characteristics are derived from zeroed values in these arrays, including the pointer to its glitched base stats.
* The reason for the large amount of glitch Pokémon in Generation I is because only 151 values correspond to valid Pokémon, while Pokémon species index numbers are stored in 8 bits allowing for up to 256 values. This leaves 105 values not corresponding to a valid Pokémon; excluding the 39 MissingNo. leaves 66 different values for other glitch Pokémon.
* In [[Generation I]], a large number (43) of glitch Pokémon have the small {{wp|katakana}} character ゥ ''u'' in their names. This is because it corresponds to a common codepoint in Game Boy assembly code.
** The only other Japanese character that appears somewhat frequently in glitch Pokémon's names is small ァ ''a''. The hiragana ぉ ''o'' and ぇ ''e'' also appear, but less often.
*** The reason for any Japanese text in an English game can be seen [[List of Japanese characters in the international Generation I and II games|here]].
* 23' 0"/880.6 lbs. are the most common height and weight values for {{v2|Red and Blue|s}} glitch Pokémon, and 23' 2"/1031.6 lbs. for {{v2|Yellow}}. It is unknown as to why any glitch Pokémon have the same values, however.
* Some glitch Pokémon have four or more evolutionary stages.
* Encountering a [[MissingNo.]] or most other glitch Pokémon will cause the screen to go blank for a delayed amount of time before the battle begins.
** The same also occurs when they are sent out in battle, but the game will buffer on the battle screen rather than a black screen.
** [[Glitch screen]]s also appear while the game is waiting to send the Pokémon out.

Item duplication glitch

2016-03-03T15:08:07Z

Evice: Punctuation

{{search|glitch and subglitch in Generation I|the glitch allowing the duplication of items underground|List of glitches in Generation IV#Underground item duplication glitch}}
The '''item duplication glitch''' is a [[glitch]] that allows the duplication of [[item]]s in [[Generation I]].

==Pokédex 000 item duplication glitch==
The '''Pokédex 000 item duplication glitch''' (also referred to as the '''Rare Candy cheat''' due to the preferred item chosen to duplicate) is a [[glitch]] in the [[Generation I]] games. It allows the player to duplicate items in their [[Bag]].

Through the development of {{game|Yellow}}, which occurred in the two years following the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} in Japan, the [[old man glitch]] was disabled by blanking the data for wild Pokémon before overwriting it, and reprogramming shore tiles to not have any Pokémon. However, it is still possible to encounter [[Missingno.]] and exploit the item duplication glitch using the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} or the [[Cable Club escape glitch]], although Missingno. other than its Ghost and Fossil forms on {{game|Yellow}} will commonly freeze the game. The glitch Pokémon [[g g]] and $ are also possible alternatives, through a combination of the [[Time Capsule exploit]] and the [[Cable Club escape glitch]], but both may also freeze the game after being sent out from the opponent's side.

===Mechanics===
====Results====
The sixth item in the Bag is duplicated upon encountering the glitch Pokémon, and again if it is caught. The quantity of this item will be increased by 128, provided that the quantity is less than 128 before performing the glitch. This means that the player is free to perform the glitch again by swapping the item, or using/tossing the duplicated item to reduce its quantity back under 128.

If the player catches the 000-variant in battle, then it becomes possible to duplicate the sixth item again, given that the quantity of the item in the sixth slot is less that 128 (this can be achieved by using the item in the battle or switching another into its place).

[[Key item]]s can be duplicated, but the only key items which are practical to duplicate are the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil, Helix Fossil]], and [[Old Amber]]. Key items will stack, but the number next to the associated key item will not be visible. Under normal circumstances, it becomes impossible to remove duplicate key items without storing them one at a time in the PC; however, [[Fossil]]s are an exception to this, because the game allows the player to revive the same Fossil Pokémon more than once.

====Cause====
Every Pokémon has two separate bit lists that tells the game whether it has been seen or caught. If the bit is off, that means it hasn't been caught or seen.

Missingno.'s [[Pokédex]] seen bit is in the same location as the bit that stores how many of the 6th item is in the Bag, as well as [['M (00)]]'s. This is why, when Missingno. or 'M (00) is encountered, the sixth item slot is increased by 128 if the quantity of the item is less than 128. The glitchy box symbol is a result of the game attempting to display a number greater than 99, which causes it to grab sprites from beyond the number sprites. Sometimes it can appear to be a blank tile, but if one goes somewhere else or out of battle it will revert back to an unusual tile.

A way to tell whether " 9" is in fact 9 or [blank tile]9 is to select Toss. The quantity is displayed with a leading zero if the amount is actually 9, and as simply " 9" if not.

===Performing the glitch===
The player must perform the [[old man glitch]] to encounter [[Missingno.]] or [['M (00)]], then defeat, run from, or catch the Missingno. or 'M (00).

After the battle, the player should open the menu and view the items currently in the Bag. If done correctly, the game should show a glitch character followed by a standard number. This glitch character represents a place value of 10 or above.

If the amount of the item in question is already 128 or more, this glitch will not work.

==255 stack duplication glitch==
The '''255 stack item duplication glitch'''<ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,3929.0.html Glitch City Laboratories Forums] (retrieved February 20, 2010)</ref> is a glitch in Generation I that is caused by obtaining 255 of an item, and then tossing an item above it. This creates another stack of 255 items. The only way to obtain a stack of 255 items is via the Pokédex 000 item duplication glitch, making this glitch a subglitch of it.

===Performing the glitch===
The player must obtain 255 of an item. The only way to do this is via the Pokédex 000 item duplication glitch to obtain over 128 of an item, then using or tossing items until the player has 127, followed by performing the glitch again to increase the total number to 255. As long as there is exactly 255 of an item, tossing an item above it will cause this glitch. It means that the stack of 255 items is copied to the slot above it, as well as its original slot. Tossing an item below the 255 stack causes no glitch. Swapping the places of two items causes no glitch. When there are two or more non-adjacent item piles of quantity ×255, only the ×255 pile closest after the tossed item duplicates.

Using the glitch once will make the last item in the inventory act as the Cancel button, twice will make the second to last item in the inventory act as the Cancel button, and so on. One cannot scroll beyond the Cancel button, even though the scroll arrow is there. Items below the acting Cancel button will be unreachable. The acting Cancel button can be swapped with another item, which will then restore the old item's function and cause the new item act to as the Cancel button.

The above Cancel behavior occurs because the glitch causes the game to think that there are fewer items in the [[Bag]] than there actually are, causing it to prevent the player from scrolling past what it thinks is the last item (even though more items below it are visible). This disparity between how many items the game thinks is in the player's Bag and the number of items actually in the Bag can be extended into the [[item underflow]] subglitch.

Adding an item to the Bag will erase the item acting as the Cancel button as well as those underneath it (which wouldn't be reachable in any case). A normally functioning Cancel button will be directly below the bought item.

Aside from the Cancel button issue, all items will function normally.

===How it works===
{{Incomplete|section|needs=More thorough explanation of what actually happens in memory and how bytes are laid out as the steps of the glitch are performed}}

When an item is tossed, each item below it is copied upward one space, starting with the item directly below the tossed item and going down. However, when the game encounters a pile of quantity ×255 while going down the list, it is copied up, but the items after it are not, leaving two adjacent piles of ×255 of the same item. The game still decreases its count of the total number of inventory items by one (which accounts for the messed up Cancel button).

When the game goes down the list on this copying spree, encountering an FF byte signals to cancel the action for the button and stop copying, even though in this case the FF byte is for item quantity, not item type. Under normal cases, nobody would have ×255 of an item anyway. Under normal cases, since the Cancel button masks anything after it, the game doesn't have to delete the extra Cancel button left behind after copying the cancel button up one space.

Old man glitch

2016-03-03T15:02:28Z

Evice: Rewording

The '''old man glitch''' is a well-known [[glitch]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and an extension of the [[Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick]]. It is one of the methods by which the [[player character|player]] can encounter [[Missingno.]] and [['M (00)]], and almost certainly the most famous method. Its name comes from the {{ka|old man}} in [[Viridian City]], who is required to begin the glitch. It should not be confused with the related [[item duplication glitch]], which is most easily performed by first performing the old man glitch.

This glitch was not present in the Japanese [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], or {{game|Blue|_(Japanese)}}. This glitch was fixed in some {{wp|European}} versions of Red and Blue, such as the {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}} and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} versions, by making the shore tiles act as [[water tile]]s, but still remains in other European versions, such as the {{pmin|Germany|German}} version. In the {{pmin|France|French}} version, the glitch is present, but the game freezes every time a [[Missingno.]] or [['M (00)]] appears. This glitch was removed in all versions of {{game|Yellow}} by blanking the data for wild Pokémon before overwriting it, and reprogramming shore tiles to not call any [[wild Pokémon]].

==Performing the glitch==
The glitch is a special case of the [[Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick]]. To perform the glitch, the player must talk to the old man located in the north of [[Viridian City]] and allow him to demonstrate how to catch a Pokémon. After the demonstration, the player should immediately {{m|Fly}} to [[Cinnabar Island]]. Here, the player should surf up and down along the east coast of the island where the water is touching the land without leaving Cinnabar Island. [[Wild Pokémon]] will appear, based on the player's name.

{{youtubevid|deqhvSJqTQY|Old_Stigma|glitch}}

==Effects==
The wild Pokémon that appear are based on the player's name. The third, fifth and seventh slots of the player's name are the species of Pokémon that will appear (see table below). The second slot of the player's name becomes the level of the Pokémon caused to appear by the third slot, the fourth slot for the fifth slot, and the sixth slot for the seventh slot. The game also reads the ninth and eleventh slots as wild Pokémon and the eighth and tenth slots as levels; however, due to the seven character name limit, these slots are not used, so are blank (00), causing [['M (00)]] to appear at level 0.

At the end of the player's name, there is a special character to mark the end of the name. This character can either cause Missingno. to appear, or create the possibility for wild 'M (00) to be at level 80.

The eighth through eleventh bytes are only 00 if using a custom name; using a [[#Preset names|preset name]] results in these extra bytes being filled by the series of other preset name separated by end of name markers (with NEW NAME after the last preset name). As such, 'M (00) will not appear when using a preset name.

==Results==
===Custom name===
This table demonstrates what Pokémon specific characters in the player's name will cause to appear, or the level of the Pokémon that they will cause to appear. Only characters possible to include in the player's name are included. [[Glitch Trainer]]s are in '''bold'''.

===Preset names===
Choosing a preset name will result in different results to inputting a custom name. Inputting a custom name which is the same as a preset name will not cause the glitch to behave as if a preset name was chosen.

Preset names function differently because they are stored one after the other in the game data, separated by the end of name marker, whereas custom names are succeeded by zeros after the end of name marker. In English Pokémon Red, the player's name is stored as "RED<end>ASH<end>JACK<end>NEW NAME", starting from the selected name; in English Pokémon Blue, the player's name is stored as "BLUE<end>GARY<end>JOHN<end>NEW NAME", likewise starting from the selected name.

Due to the names extending past the usual seven character limit, the ninth and eleventh characters are also used to determine the wild Pokémon, and their levels are determined by the eighth and tenth characters, respectively. These characters are usually null, so cause [['M (00)]] to appear, and Pokémon to at level 0, respectively. Because of this, unlike when inputting a custom name, [['M (00)]] do not appear when using a preset name. Characters after the eleventh are ignored.

==Cause==
When the game sets up the battle between the {{ka|old man}} and a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Weedle}}, it needs to temporarily change the player's name to "OLD MAN" so that it will display that name, rather than the player's entered name, during the battle.

The programmers decided to use the space where data for [[wild Pokémon]] found in the grass is stored (which is completely blank in Viridian City, as only {{m|Surf}}ing and [[Fishing]] data is used) to save the player's name temporarily. Normally, this would cause no abnormal activity, as this data is overwritten when the player moves to a different area.

In all cities, however, this data remains blank, and so the data is never overwritten (as there is nothing new to overwrite it with), and thus, the data that was last entered (be it the player's name or the wild Pokémon data from another area) remains in place. This itself still causes no harm; however, an oversight in the programming of the tiles used to denote the shore of [[Cinnabar Island]] marks them as equivalent to grass. As all [[water route]]s have no real grass on them, likewise, the data is not overwritten, and so whatever data is in the slots for wild Pokémon found in the grass is used, be it the player's name or wild Pokémon found elsewhere, such as the {{safari|Kanto}}.

The name of the player has six hexadecimal values in it. The game needs only three "slots" of wild Pokémon data to store this.

The species of wild Pokémon the player encounters along the coast are determined by the third, fifth, and seventh characters of the player's name, while their levels are determined by the second, fourth, and sixth characters, respectively. The game also reads the ninth and eleventh slots as wild Pokémon and the eighth and tenth slots as their respective levels; however, due to the seven character name limit, these slots are not used unless using a preset name, so are blank (00), causing [['M (00)]] to appear at level 0.

==Other coast related exploits==
:''See also: [[Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick]]'' 

[[File:Negative HP Stadium.png|thumb|right|256px|A {{p|Golbat}} affected by the glitch in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}]]
Because [[Cinnabar Island]] has no wild Pokémon data but the potential for wild Pokémon to appear, and that wild Pokémon data is not formatted when entering a new area, any location that can be {{m|Fly|flown}} from can have its wild Pokémon available on the coast.

This includes the {{safari|Kanto}}, so players can encounter Safari Pokémon under normal battling circumstances. Since the old man only writes to the first eleven wild Pokémon addresses, it means that extra Pokémon may be accessible even if the player's name is eleven characters long (which is possible with preset names). This grass Pokémon data is mapped to three 'uncommon encounters' and two 'rare encounters'.

Due to being able to find Pokémon over level 100, it is possible to trigger glitches relating to Pokémon with levels that are too high. If Pokémon over level 100 receives experience by battle, it will automatically go to level 100; Rare Candies will level up the Pokémon normally. If the Pokémon's remaining HP is already low, dropping to level 100 can cause the HP to drop to negative number, but it will be interpreted as a very high number, similarly to the [[Pomeg glitch]]. In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, HP is shown as the actual amount; in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], it will act as if its HP was full.

Reportedly, the first coast exploit discovered involved performing an in-game trade with an NPC and surfing on the coast.<ref>[http://www.gamefaqs.com/gameboy/367023-pokemon-red-version/faqs/38434 Okk's Missingno. guide]</ref> This results in five level 80 hex:50 Missingno. because the encounters are affected by the trade Pokémon's [[Original Trainer|OT]] name. Specifically, grass data is overwritten with "5D 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50". The 5D byte is a control character that prints "TRAINER" and the rest of the bytes are 'end name' characters.

Trading or fighting in the [[Cable Club]] overwrites the wild Pokemon data with the opponent's name, and by using the poison method of the [[Cable Club escape glitch]] one may escape from the Cable Club and keep the stored grass Pokémon data that normally disappears after resetting the game (even after trading). Note that battling heals the user's Pokémon, meaning that the player has to do this glitch by bringing up the trade screen.

This Cable Club coast exploit has an unexplained complication of affecting encounters further than uncommon Pokémon 1 (D891); for example, glitch Trainer FD can appear on the coast through this method.

Glitch

2016-03-03T14:58:21Z

Evice: Punctuation

{{Cleanup}}
'''Glitches''', also known as '''bugs''', are unintended behavior in software like the [[Pokémon games]]. They can be triggered from mistakes within the game's code or by exploits that were not anticipated by the programmers, thus causing the game to react unexpectedly. Resulting issues may range from benign (such as graphical and audio distortions or wrong effects of in-game elements) to hazardous (such as corruption or deletion of data).

==Glitch Pokémon==
{{main|Glitch Pokémon}}
Glitch Pokémon are the result of any bug that causes a game to read special-purpose data or data outside of its internal Pokémon definition list as a Pokémon definition. For example, [[Missingno.]]'s base stats are taken from the parties of several {{tc|Biker|Bikers}}.

==Glitch characteristics==
===Glitch moves===
{{main|List of glitch moves}}
A glitch [[move]] is a move not intended to be part of the game, but can be accessed through the use of glitches or cheating device. In [[Generation I]], many glitch moves are named after TMs or HMs; TMs numbered {{m|TM01|01}} to {{m|TM55|55}} and HMs numbered {{m|HM01|01}} to {{m|HM05|05}} exist as moves; however, some have {{m|--|no name}} or {{m|Super Glitch|glitched, unreadable names}}. Some glitch moves are of known glitch types, but others have either no readable type or an unknown type. Usually, only glitch Pokémon will learn glitch moves.

One way of teaching a Pokémon in Generation I a glitch move is with a Pokémon that can evolve by trading. This can be achieved by trading a trade evolution Pokémon from a Generation I game to a Generation II, at a level where its evolved form will learn a move not in Generation I. Trading the Pokémon back to the Generation I game will cause the move to become a glitch move. For example, trading a level 48 {{p|Haunter}} from {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}} to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} will make the Haunter evolve into {{p|Gengar}}. Since it is level 48, it will learn {{m|Mean Look}}. If it is then traded back to Pokémon Red, it will still have the move, but the game won't recognize it properly since it is a Generation II move, so will become {{m|TM12}}.

In Generation I, any Pokémon using {{m|Transform}} or using Transform via {{m|Mirror Move}} can learn {{m|--|--}} with the Transform glitch. The glitch is performed by sending out a Pokémon with less than 4 moves and using Transform, and then switching the first move with the last. Then Transform will be replaced with --.

===Glitch types===
{{main|List of glitch types}}
There are many different glitch types that happen to be the types of several glitch Pokémon and moves. The majority of them are used for very few Pokémon or moves. A famous glitch type is the unique {{type|Bird}}, which is a leftover type thought to be a beta version of the {{type|Flying}}. All other glitch types are simply other data read as a type name. Glitch types typically do not have any weaknesses, resistances, or immunities.

===Glitch locations===
There are several locations which can only be reached by means of glitches or hacks. One of the most well known of these is the [[Glitch City]]. Other examples of these are areas in the [[Sevii Islands]] that are retrievable via their [[index number]] pointer, however, do not have any other data. [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen beta#Sevii Isles|Sevii Isles 8 and 9]] are the only index number areas which have actual map data. There are also other beta locations such as [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|the unused Safari Zone]].

===Glitch items===
{{Main|List of unobtainable items}}
Placeholder items are often left in the game's code to prevent it from crashing if the data is accessed, such as the [[Teru-sama]] item in [[Generation II]]. Likewise, other generations have placeholder items, with most appearing at the end of the item list, though a few, likely removed during development, appear in the middle.

Often, placeholder items change into real items ([[key items]] or otherwise) in later games of a generation. The [[GS Ball]], [[Clear Bell]], and {{key|II|Egg Ticket}}, which only appear in {{game|Crystal}}, are programmed into the games' [[List of items by index number (Generation II)|internal list]] where Teru-samas existed in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and will, if they are hacked to be held by a Pokémon being traded to the earlier games, transform.

Thus, glitch items that become real items from a later game only appear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], as all items not present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} that were reintroduced in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and newly introduced in {{game|Emerald}} appear at the end of the list. They would cause a copy of Ruby or Sapphire to crash when it is selected, as they are beyond its item list. Generation II is the only generation in which all new items replace glitch items in the middle of the item list, thus not causing a permanent problem if transferred, as the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}} is the only item in Generation IV that is programmed at the same index number that a glitch item is present at in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, while the other items introduced in {{game|Platinum}} and reintroduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are after the end of the Diamond and Pearl list, and thus crash the game if the glitch item in their place is selected in a game they do not exist in.

===Glitch Trainers===
{{main|Glitch Trainer}}
[[Glitch Trainer]]s have been known to occur in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]]. They, like glitch Pokémon, result from the game reading trainer or party information from an area in the game code that does not contain that information.

'''References to the Pokémon franchise''' are often made in other media. While {{p|Pikachu}} is a common target due to its prominence as the mascot of the franchise, other Pokémon, characters, and elements of the various Pokémon series are often lampooned.

| style="text-align:left;" | Pokémon was one of the audience's suggestions used in a playing of "{{wp|List of games from Whose Line Is It Anyway?#Other games|Film, TV & Theatre Styles}}", which was played out by series regulars, {{wp|Ryan Stiles}} and {{wp|Colin Mochrie}}, and the episode's {{tt|fourth chair|A recurring or occasionally guest cast member who takes a fourth seat that's not occupied by Mochrie, Stiles, or Wayne Brady. Wayne became a regular from Season 2 onwards.}}, {{wp|Karen Maruyama}}. When Pokémon was used as a style for the scene, Karen says in a purposefully bad Asian-style accent, "Harro, [''sic''] I am Ichi!" She stiffly walks up to Ryan and says to him, "Please don't go!" to which he responds, "Oh, you're making my tail catch on fire!" and pretends to spew a flame from a tail, most likely referring to {{p|Charmander}}. As Karen turns to Colin and walks up to him, Colin spreads his arms apart and shouts, "{{p|Jigglypuff}}!" Karen pretends to shoot beams from her eyes, and she and Colin both jump and walk around on stage. Ryan then walks up to them and yells in a high-pitched, drawn-out voice, "Pikachu!" After Karen bobs over in front of Ryan like a {{wp|drinking bird}} for a moment, host {{wp|Drew Carey}} sounds the buzzer to freeze the players and change the style. Pokémon was also suggested by another audience member in a later episode's playing of the same game, but it was not used.

(Though on the other hand, ''anime'' was an audience suggestion.) {{wp|Kathy Greenwood}} is the fourth chair for this episode, joining Colin and Ryan in "Film, TV, & Theatre Styles". This was a different portraying of a Pokémon "style" in comparison to the playing in show #235. When Pokémon was used as the last style for this playing's scene, Colin shouts out, "Pikachu!" in a high-pitched voice this time instead of Ryan, causing the audience to burst out in laughter as he started walking around the stage. He then pretends to shock Ryan, who yells, "Ow!" in response and does his Charmander pose used in show #235. Colin turns around, shouts "Pikachu!" again, and walks to the other side of the small stage. He then turns back to Kathy and Ryan and sends more "{{m|ThunderShock|shocks}}" towards them, causing Kathy to hop a bit on every "shock" sent towards her. (It had no effect on "Charmander Ryan", who was looking away and continuing to do his pose.) Kathy maintained {{tt|her scene's character|Playing as the wife of 'Police Chief Colin'}} throughout the style, pretending to point a handgun at Colin. Drew sounds the buzzer several times afterwards to end the game, sending the cast members back to their seats. He also awards 1,000 extra "{{tt|points|Since Whose Line is it Anyway? is a slight parody of game shows, the points are fake and irrelevant. Hence, 'the points don't matter'.}}" to Colin for his "Pikadoo" act (getting Colin to say, "Pikachu," once more to correct Drew, which also causes Ryan to say, "Bless you,") and says to him, "Oh, I'd love to see you and your wife going at it, man."

===Books, comics and manga===
*{{wp|List of The Simpsons comics|''The Simpsons'' Comics}} make several references:
** There is a story called ''An Anime Among Us'', in which Bart has a dream sequence which contains numerous references to Japanese traditional and popular culture, including anime such as ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}'' and Pokémon. The most prominent references to Pokémon are Bart dressed like [[Ash Ketchum]], a Pocket Goblins (Pockegob) Trainer, and {{wp|Santa's Little Helper}} becoming a reference to Pikachu (Santa-choo). Bart fights against a trio from "Team Sprocket", with {{wp|Bart's Girlfriend|Jessica Lovejoy}} appearing as [[Jessie]], {{wp|Nelson Muntz}} appearing as [[James]], and {{wp|Martin Prince}} in a {{MTR}} costume (Cat Scratch-eth). This story is available in Bart Simpson Comics issue #12 as well as the collection book ''Big Bratty Book of Bart Simpson''.
** In the story ''Destroy All Manga!'', many references to various manga and anime are made, including ''{{wp|Dragon Ball}}'', ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}'', and Pokémon. A series called "Porkymen" features many Pokémon-like creatures, including "Pikkanoze", a creature which shares striking resemblance with Pikachu. Creatures similar to {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Gengar}} are also shown. When Porkymen are chasing {{wp|In Marge We Trust|Mr. Sparkle}}, Pikkanoze says, "Catch Mr. Sparkle, my Porkymen comrades! [[Gotta catch 'em all!|Catch him all!!!]]" When Mr. Sparkle encases Porkymen in soap bubbles, Pikkanoze says that it's "[[Poké Ball|somewhat familiar]]". This story is available in Simpsons Comics issue #45 as well as the collection book ''Simpsons Comics Unchained''.
** In the story ''All's Veldt That Ends Veldt!'', Maggie watches the aforementioned "Porkeymen", which is shown to use a Pokémon-like slogan "Gotta pitch 'em all!". When Maggie watches the show, Pikkanose's eyes release rapidly flashing light, causing Maggie to become hypnotized. This is obviously a reference to the infamous "[[EP038|seizure episode]]". This story is available in Bart Simpson Comics issue #7 as well as the collection book ''Big Bad Book of Bart Simpson''.
** In the story ''Day of the Nerd'', {{wp|Comic Book Guy}} dresses up like an anime character, using XL contact lenses to make his eyes seem like anime eyes, black laser lights to create himself speed stripes whenever he moves quickly, and a {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|yellow}} cat he calls, "Comicachu", an obvious reference to Pikachu. This story is available in Simpsons Comics issue #73 as well as the collection book ''Simpsons Comics Beach Blanket Bongo''.
* In {{wp|Jennifer L. Holm}}'s book ''Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon'', Pikachu is one of the many "people" seen watching an interview. It is later assumed that the same Pikachu was one of the two thousand "people" to buy Babymouse's cupcakes, as referenced by the narrator asking Babymouse how she was going to get her cupcakes to Japan.
* In {{wp|Neil Gaiman}}'s novella ''{{wp|Coraline}},'' the illustration on page 88 shows a Pikachu head among several other toys.

* In the novel ''{{wp|Mad Dogs}}'', Pokemon ''(sic)'' was mentioned as one of the fads that had passed around CHERUB campus.
* In the tenth book in the ''{{wp|Jigsaw Jones Mysteries}}'' series, ''The Case of the Ghostwriter'', Stringbean hires Jigsaw to take the case by offering him bubble gum, a {{wp|Darth Maul}} pencil eraser, a rubber band ball, $0.36, and a {{tcg|Diglett}} card. Jigsaw calls Diglett too common, so Stringbean instead offers a First Edition {{tcg|Gloom}} card, which he accepts.
* In Volume 5, Chapter 1 of of the ''{{wp|Sword Art Online}}'' light novel series, when discussing possible ways for someone to shoot a bullet in virtual reality and kill someone else in real life, Kirito mentions an instance in which animation effects in an [[EP038|episode]] of [[Pokémon anime|a certain anime]] caused children across Japan to become sick. This reference was not retained in Episode 1 of the anime adaptation's second season, which directly adapts the chapter.
* In {{wp|Rick Riordan}}'s book ''{{wp|The Mark of Athena}}'', war-crazed Coach Hedge is sailing a ship while singing the [[Pokémon Theme]], replacing the [[Gotta catch 'em all!]] catchphrase with "Gotta ''Kill'' 'Em All".
* In another Rick Riordan's book, ''{{wp|The Throne of Fire}}'', the protagonist Carter wakes up in an hotel room wearing Pokémon pajamas featuring Pikachu.
* A ''{{wp|Mother Goose and Grimm}}'' [http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2014/MGG-2014-05-31.gif comic strip from May 31, 2014] featured a pair of Pikachu. It portrayed how the species got its name in a satirical manner.

===Real world===
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".

==Other references==
===Books, comics and manga===
*{{wp|List of The Simpsons comics|''The Simpsons'' Comics}} make several references:
** There is a story called ''An Anime Among Us'', in which Bart has a dream sequence which contains numerous references to Japanese traditional and popular culture, including anime such as ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}'' and Pokémon. The most prominent references to Pokémon are Bart dressed like [[Ash Ketchum]], a Pocket Goblins (Pockegob) Trainer, and {{wp|Santa's Little Helper}} becoming a reference to Pikachu (Santa-choo). Bart fights against a trio from "Team Sprocket", with {{wp|Bart's Girlfriend|Jessica Lovejoy}} appearing as [[Jessie]], {{wp|Nelson Muntz}} appearing as [[James]], and {{wp|Martin Prince}} in a {{MTR}} costume (Cat Scratch-eth). This story is available in Bart Simpson Comics issue #12 as well as the collection book ''Big Bratty Book of Bart Simpson''.
** In the story ''Destroy All Manga!'', many references to various manga and anime are made, including ''{{wp|Dragon Ball}}'', ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}'', and Pokémon. A series called "Porkymen" features many Pokémon-like creatures, including "Pikkanoze", a creature which shares striking resemblance with Pikachu. Creatures similar to {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Gengar}} are also shown. When Porkymen are chasing {{wp|In Marge We Trust|Mr. Sparkle}}, Pikkanoze says, "Catch Mr. Sparkle, my Porkymen comrades! [[Gotta catch 'em all!|Catch him all!!!]]" When Mr. Sparkle encases Porkymen in soap bubbles, Pikkanoze says that it's "[[Poké Ball|somewhat familiar]]". This story is available in Simpsons Comics issue #45 as well as the collection book ''Simpsons Comics Unchained''.
** In the story ''All's Veldt That Ends Veldt!'', Maggie watches the aforementioned "Porkeymen", which is shown to use a Pokémon-like slogan "Gotta pitch 'em all!". When Maggie watches the show, Pikkanose's eyes release rapidly flashing light, causing Maggie to become hypnotized. This is obviously a reference to the infamous "[[EP038|seizure episode]]". This story is available in Bart Simpson Comics issue #7 as well as the collection book ''Big Bad Book of Bart Simpson''.
** In the story ''Day of the Nerd'', {{wp|Comic Book Guy}} dresses up like an anime character, using XL contact lenses to make his eyes seem like anime eyes, black laser lights to create himself speed stripes whenever he moves quickly, and a {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|yellow}} cat he calls, "Comicachu", an obvious reference to Pikachu. This story is available in Simpsons Comics issue #73 as well as the collection book ''Simpsons Comics Beach Blanket Bongo''.
* In {{wp|Jennifer L. Holm}}'s book ''Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon'', Pikachu is one of the many "people" seen watching an interview. It is later assumed that the same Pikachu was one of the two thousand "people" to buy Babymouse's cupcakes, as referenced by the narrator asking Babymouse how she was going to get her cupcakes to Japan.
* In {{wp|Neil Gaiman}}'s novella ''{{wp|Coraline}},'' the illustration on page 88 shows a Pikachu head among several other toys.
* In the ''{{wp|Love Hina}}'' manga, the main character, {{wp|Keitaro Urashima}}, can be seen with a {{p|Pikachu}} photo sticker while he checks his photo album filled with pictures of himself.
* In the novel ''{{wp|Mad Dogs}}'', Pokemon ''(sic)'' was mentioned as one of the fads that had passed around CHERUB campus.
* In the tenth book in the ''{{wp|Jigsaw Jones Mysteries}}'' series, ''The Case of the Ghostwriter'', Stringbean hires Jigsaw to take the case by offering him bubble gum, a {{wp|Darth Maul}} pencil eraser, a rubber band ball, $0.36, and a {{tcg|Diglett}} card. Jigsaw calls Diglett too common, so Stringbean instead offers a First Edition {{tcg|Gloom}} card, which he accepts.
* In Volume 5, Chapter 1 of of the ''{{wp|Sword Art Online}}'' light novel series, when discussing possible ways for someone to shoot a bullet in virtual reality and kill someone else in real life, Kirito mentions an instance in which animation effects in an [[EP038|episode]] of [[Pokémon anime|a certain anime]] caused children across Japan to become sick. This reference was not retained in Episode 1 of the anime adaptation's second season, which directly adapts the chapter.
* In {{wp|Rick Riordan}}'s book ''{{wp|The Mark of Athena}}'', war-crazed Coach Hedge is sailing a ship while singing the [[Pokémon Theme]], replacing the [[Gotta catch 'em all!]] catchphrase with "Gotta ''Kill'' 'Em All".
* In another Rick Riordan's book, ''{{wp|The Throne of Fire}}'', the protagonist Carter wakes up in an hotel room wearing Pokémon pajamas featuring Pikachu.
* A ''{{wp|Mother Goose and Grimm}}'' [http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2014/MGG-2014-05-31.gif comic strip from May 31, 2014] featured a pair of Pikachu. It portrayed how the species got its name in a satirical manner.

===Real world===
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* {{wp|Zbtb7}}, a gene that discovered by a geneticist from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York City, was originally named "Pokemon", stands for "POK erythroid myeloid ontogenic factor".
* During a Republican debate for the {{wp|United States presidential election, 2012|2012 United States presidential election}}, candidate {{wp|Herman Cain}} quotes a 'poet' saying "Life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it's never easy when there's so much on the line." These are actually the beginning lines of ''{{so|The Power of One}}'', the theme song for the [[M02|movie of the same name]]. During his withdrawal speech, he reused the line but with proper attribution.
* In an interview with CultBox, ''{{wp|Hollyoaks}}'' actor Andrew Still, who portrays {{wp|Joel Dexter}} in the series, was asked what TV show reminded him of his childhood, to which he replied: "Definitely Pokémon.

* ''{{wp|Death Battle}}'' has two battles featuring Pokémon:
** The first was {{AP|Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu}} vs. {{wp|Blanka}}. Blanka was declared the winner due to his self-taught survival skills, electric resistance, and his greater strength and size compared to Pikachu giving him an edge over Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} typing and reliance on a Trainer.<ref>[http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle/death-battle-pikachu-vs-blanka Death Battle: Pikachu vs. Blanka]</ref>

'''References to the Pokémon franchise''' are often made in other media. While {{p|Pikachu}} is a common target due to its prominence as the mascot of the franchise, other Pokémon, characters, and elements of the various Pokémon series are often lampooned.

He then pretends to shock Ryan, who yells, "Ow!" in response and does his Charmander pose used in show #235. Colin turns around, shouts "Pikachu!" again, and walks to the other side of the small stage. He then turns back to Kathy and Ryan and sends more "{{m|ThunderShock|shocks}}" towards them, causing Kathy to hop a bit on every "shock" sent towards her.

==Other references==
===Books, comics and manga===
*{{wp|List of The Simpsons comics|''The Simpsons'' Comics}} make several references:
** There is a story called ''An Anime Among Us'', in which Bart has a dream sequence which contains numerous references to Japanese traditional and popular culture, including anime such as ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}'' and Pokémon. The most prominent references to Pokémon are Bart dressed like [[Ash Ketchum]], a Pocket Goblins (Pockegob) Trainer, and {{wp|Santa's Little Helper}} becoming a reference to Pikachu (Santa-choo). Bart fights against a trio from "Team Sprocket", with {{wp|Bart's Girlfriend|Jessica Lovejoy}} appearing as [[Jessie]], {{wp|Nelson Muntz}} appearing as [[James]], and {{wp|Martin Prince}} in a {{MTR}} costume (Cat Scratch-eth). This story is available in Bart Simpson Comics issue #12 as well as the collection book ''Big Bratty Book of Bart Simpson''.
** In the story ''Destroy All Manga!'', many references to various manga and anime are made, including ''{{wp|Dragon Ball}}'', ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}'', and Pokémon. A series called "Porkymen" features many Pokémon-like creatures, including "Pikkanoze", a creature which shares striking resemblance with Pikachu. Creatures similar to {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Gengar}} are also shown. When Porkymen are chasing {{wp|In Marge We Trust|Mr. Sparkle}}, Pikkanoze says, "Catch Mr. Sparkle, my Porkymen comrades! [[Gotta catch 'em all!|Catch him all!!!]]" When Mr. Sparkle encases Porkymen in soap bubbles, Pikkanoze says that it's "[[Poké Ball|somewhat familiar]]". This story is available in Simpsons Comics issue #45 as well as the collection book ''Simpsons Comics Unchained''.
** In the story ''All's Veldt That Ends Veldt!'', Maggie watches the aforementioned "Porkeymen", which is shown to use a Pokémon-like slogan "Gotta pitch 'em all!". When Maggie watches the show, Pikkanose's eyes release rapidly flashing light, causing Maggie to become hypnotized. This is obviously a reference to the infamous "[[EP038|seizure episode]]". This story is available in Bart Simpson Comics issue #7 as well as the collection book ''Big Bad Book of Bart Simpson''.
** In the story ''Day of the Nerd'', {{wp|Comic Book Guy}} dresses up like an anime character, using XL contact lenses to make his eyes seem like anime eyes, black laser lights to create himself speed stripes whenever he moves quickly, and a {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|yellow}} cat he calls, "Comicachu", an obvious reference to Pikachu. This story is available in Simpsons Comics issue #73 as well as the collection book ''Simpsons Comics Beach Blanket Bongo''.
* In {{wp|Jennifer L. Holm}}'s book ''Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon'', Pikachu is one of the many "people" seen watching an interview. It is later assumed that the same Pikachu was one of the two thousand "people" to buy Babymouse's cupcakes, as referenced by the narrator asking Babymouse how she was going to get her cupcakes to Japan.
* In {{wp|Neil Gaiman}}'s novella ''{{wp|Coraline}},'' the illustration on page 88 shows a Pikachu head among several other toys.
* In the ''{{wp|Love Hina}}'' manga, the main character, {{wp|Keitaro Urashima}}, can be seen with a {{p|Pikachu}} photo sticker while he checks his photo album filled with pictures of himself.
* In the novel ''{{wp|Mad Dogs}}'', Pokemon ''(sic)'' was mentioned as one of the fads that had passed around CHERUB campus.
* In the tenth book in the ''{{wp|Jigsaw Jones Mysteries}}'' series, ''The Case of the Ghostwriter'', Stringbean hires Jigsaw to take the case by offering him bubble gum, a {{wp|Darth Maul}} pencil eraser, a rubber band ball, $0.36, and a {{tcg|Diglett}} card. Jigsaw calls Diglett too common, so Stringbean instead offers a First Edition {{tcg|Gloom}} card, which he accepts.
* In Volume 5, Chapter 1 of of the ''{{wp|Sword Art Online}}'' light novel series, when discussing possible ways for someone to shoot a bullet in virtual reality and kill someone else in real life, Kirito mentions an instance in which animation effects in an [[EP038|episode]] of [[Pokémon anime|a certain anime]] caused children across Japan to become sick. This reference was not retained in Episode 1 of the anime adaptation's second season, which directly adapts the chapter.
* In {{wp|Rick Riordan}}'s book ''{{wp|The Mark of Athena}}'', war-crazed Coach Hedge is sailing a ship while singing the [[Pokémon Theme]], replacing the [[Gotta catch 'em all!]] catchphrase with "Gotta ''Kill'' 'Em All".

===Real world===
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".

These are actually the beginning lines of ''{{so|The Power of One}}'', the theme song for the [[M02|movie of the same name]]. During his withdrawal speech, he reused the line but with proper attribution.
* In an interview with CultBox, ''{{wp|Hollyoaks}}'' actor Andrew Still, who portrays {{wp|Joel Dexter}} in the series, was asked what TV show reminded him of his childhood, to which he replied: "Definitely Pokémon.

Pokémon controversies

2014-10-10T12:37:26Z

Evice: /* In the TCG */ Capitalization

There have been numerous '''controversies''' regarding [[Pokémon]].

==Imagery and symbolism==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
====In the TCG====
Members of the Jewish community accused [[Nintendo]] of using an offensive image in the Japanese version of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}}. The image in question, features an omote manji, a left-facing version of the {{wp|swastika}}.

Even though the Western world perceives the swastika to be a symbol of the {{wp|fascist}} and {{wp|racist}} policies of {{wp|Nazi Germany}} during the course of {{wp|World War II}}, as well as hate, prejudice and {{wp|white supremacy}} in general, the swastika has its roots as a symbol of peace and good luck by many cultures. The earliest form of the swastika discovered was one used in Ancient India. It also was found in cultures that had no connection with India, such as Native American and First Nation cultures. It was because of its long and ancient history that {{wp|Adolf Hitler}} adopted it as the Nazi Party symbol, as he felt it to be—among other things—a connection to Aryan ancestors who lived in Ancient India.

Since World War II, however, its use has diminished, but it is still commonly used by other cultures who either didn't have any contact with the Nazis or their use of the swastika as a symbol of peace was still stronger than the swastika as a symbol of hate. In India and its neighboring countries, the swastika represent love and mercy, as well as wealth and good fortune. In Asian countries, such as China, Japan and (South) Korea, the swastika can be found on maps to represent Buddhist temples. In all these nations, the swastika can also be found on all kinds of media, businesses, buildings, clothing just as much as any other symbol would. However, it is because of its liberal use that the swastika can create international miscommunications, such as its use on the Japanese version of Koga's Ninja Trick.

====In the anime====
In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a Team Rocket fantasy involves [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s raising their hands in a manner somewhat similar to the {{wp|Nazi salute|Hitler salute}}. This was edited out in the English dub of the anime, with the grunts no longer raising their hands. Despite this, {{MTR}}'s arm remains unedited in the dub.

====In the games====
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. While in Japanese and English releases, Registeel's arm is extended, non-English European versions use an altered sprite, depicting it with its both of its arms down, presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Roman salute}}, infamously {{wp|Nazi salute|used}} by (and therefore commonly associated with) the German {{wp|Nazism|Nazi Party}}. In all versions of {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, the revised sprite is used.

===Satanism===
Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to {{wp|Satanism}}. The following is a summarized and possibly incomplete list of their reasons for this accusation:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.
*Magical talismans (supposedly a reference to [[Badge|Gym Badges]]) are needed to control them.
*Pokémon [[evolution|evolve]]. Though this transformation is more akin to metamorphosis in most Pokémon, the theory of evolution is denied entirely by the most fundamentalist creationists, who believe that all things as they are presently were divinely inspired.
**Some Pokémon evolution even requires the use of certain magical [[evolutionary stone|stones]].
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type|Psychic}}s. Those with Psychic powers are labeled as having been given these powers by {{wp|Satan}} in the {{wp|Bible}} itself.
*Many Pokémon embody or practice East Asian spiritual or mystical concepts, being that the franchise originated in Japan. Some Christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.
*Some claim that if one were to {{wp|backmasking|play backwards}} the [[Pokérap]], "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]" can be heard as "I love you, Satan".

In response to these claims, in 2000 the {{wp|Vatican City}}-based {{wp|TV2000|Sat 2000}} broadcast public approval of Pokémon, stating that the games did not have "any harmful moral side effects" and was based on "ties of intense friendship".<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20000818054740/http://www.nypostonline.com/news/2630.htm NYPost.com: POKEMON EARNS PAPAL BLESSING (archive)]</ref>

===Claims of Zionist Jewish plot in the Arab and Islamic world===
Some outspoken, fundamentalist Muslims claimed that Pokémon is a Jewish conspiracy that is intended to brainwash Muslim children to make them renounce their faith. These same groups claimed that the word "Pokémon" is a phrase that means "I am Jewish", with the claimers and their followers generally unaware of the franchise's Japanese origin. The "Evolution vs. Creationism" conflict was also commonly brought up.

In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise, claiming it encourages gambling and promotes {{wp|Zionism}}. High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."

Despite the initial banning, which quickly wiped away [[Pokémon merchandise]], especially the card game, from markets in Saudi Arabia, Pokémon video games quickly returned to be sold normally, but under much less demand from local consumers. Some Pokémon merchandise, such as the {{OBP|Expedition Base Set|TCG}} reappeared in certain stores a few years later, but newer sets were never brought. Games from [[Generation III]] on seem completely unaffected by the ban.

===Racism===
====Jynx====
[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|right|Artwork of Jynx in her original design|150px]]
{{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, a cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}}, which had recently appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, a character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the international release of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and [[EP250]] was cut from international airings of the anime. A sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'' was also cut from the dub.

Jynx's design was officially revised by Nintendo to being purple, rather than black, and this change was reflected in later games (beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}) and the anime (starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''). Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}.

In recent years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion.

Other people, however, think Jynx is based on a Nordic princess. This is because there are legends saying things like due to the blistering cold, a princess's skin turned black. They argue that Jynx's hair looks more like royalty than an African stereotype. They also say that being based on a {{wp|Viking}} could reason why they are {{t|Ice}} type. This is further expressed by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}.

====Lenora====
[[File:BW014 comparison.png|thumb|220px|Lenora's apron removal as seen in the anime]]
[[Nacrene City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Lenora]] also brought up concerns of racism. While no complaints were filed, actions were taken to alter her clothing. Lenora's original artwork, as well as her in game sprites, depict her wearing a large apron. Concerns arose that people outside of Japan would allude Lenora to the {{wp|Mammy archetype}}. Similar to Lenora, the mammy is a dark skin-toned woman who wears a handkerchief on her head and an apron. Because of the similarity, Lenora's artwork was changed, from her wearing the apron to her having it slung over her shoulder like a cape. Despite this, Lenora's in-game sprites were not altered in the international release of {{2v2|Black|White}}, nor was any attempt made to re-alter the sprites for [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

In the original version of ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', Lenora was depicted wearing her apron. When the English dub aired, her apron was removed completely.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Lenora is depicted with the apron over her shoulder in the first panel she appears in and she is not shown with it after that. In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, she is not depicted with an apron at all.

===Animal cruelty===
In the past, several animal rights groups have tried to ban Pokémon, claiming that Pokémon battles closely resemble {{wp|cockfight}}s. This aspect of the controversy was actually touched upon in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

Upon the release of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], {{wp|People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals|PETA}} released a mock game named "Pokémon Black and Blue". In the game, the player controls the Pokémon to attack the opposing human. PETA claims that the way the Pokémon are "stuffed" into the [[Poké Ball]] is similar to how circus elephants are chained inside railroad carts. Nintendo responded to this by simply stating, “Nintendo and The Pokémon Company take the inappropriate use of our products and intellectual property seriously.” Around the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]], PETA released another mock game called "Pokémon Red, White, and Blue" that features Nintendo's "association" with McDonald's and also makes fun of the frequent release of sister games.

In Pokémon X and Y, the in-game description for the Poké Ball now includes the words "...comfortably encapsulating its target.", possibly in response to PETA's aforementioned comment.

==Lawsuits==
Various lawsuits have been filed against Nintendo and Game Freak regarding Pokémon or Pokémon characters.

===Uri Geller===
In November 2000, {{wp|Uri Geller}}, a man claiming to be a psychic who is to be able to bend spoons with psychic powers, tried to sue Nintendo for £60 million (the equivalent of US $100 million), claiming that {{p|Kadabra}}, known as ''Yungerer'' in Japan, was an unauthorized parody of himself. Besides Kadabra's use of [[Type-enhancing item#TwistedSpoon|bent spoons]] to enhance its {{t|psychic}} powers, the {{wp|katakana}} for its name, ユンゲラー, is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー).

He also claimed that Kadabra was {{wp|Antisemitism|anti-Semitic}} in nature, with the star on its forehead and lightning bolts resembling the logo of the Nazi {{wp|Schutzstaffel|SS}}. He is quoted as saying: "''Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image.''"

Geller lost the lawsuit. Despite this, there has not been a Kadabra card in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} since {{TCG|Skyridge}} in 2003 and Kadabra has not appeared in the Pokémon anime since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', perhaps as a precaution against Geller's history of lawsuits. {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} cards have continued to be printed, despite the fact that this makes it impossible to play Alakazam cards in matches that prevent the use of older cards without a card that specifically allows evolved Pokémon to be played. However, the only {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} card released after {{tcg|Skyridge}}, in {{tcg|Mysterious Treasures}}, has an attack that allows it to evolve directly into Alakazam, skipping the Kadabra stage.

===Gambling===
A parents' group attempted to sue manufacturers of collectible cards, including Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast, claiming that the cards' collectible nature and the random distribution of the cards in packs constitutes illegal gambling.

European releases of {{game|Platinum}} replace the [[slot machine]]s in [[Veilstone City]]'s [[Game Corner]] from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} with non-playable [[game machine]]s in fear that they would encourage younger players to gamble. This change has been greatly criticized by European players, who felt that it virtually destroyed the concept and point of the Game Corner.

All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]]. In this game, similar to {{wp|Minesweeper (Computer Game)|Minesweeper}}, coins are not wagered against a win or a loss, but instead given out for completing a level. While many find the game to be entertaining, unlike the case with the European release of Pokémon Platinum, the change in the Game Corners' interior design removed the ability of coins to be purchased in bulk, making playing Voltorb Flip the only possible way to get coins. Additionally, due to the change, the location of the [[Coin Case]] was changed in the international versions, and is now given directly by the man in charge of the Game Corner.

All games since Pokémon {{2v|Black|White}} feature no Game Corner at all.

==="Pokémon Kills"===
In 1999, as a promotion for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{wp|Burger King}} released a [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys|series of promotional toys]] in handheld [[Poké Ball]]s with their Kids' Meals. After their daughter suffocated because she had covered her mouth and nose with half of the Poké Ball, two parents set up a website named "Pokémon Kills".

In response to this, Burger King recalled the Poké Balls and exchanged them for food for a limited amount of time.

==Violence==
Although [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] and [[TAJ Productions|TAJ]] allow for some cartoon violence in the anime, the following episodes contain scenes that were deemed to be "too violent", and thus were cut from the English broadcast:
*''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'': {{an|Misty}} slapping {{Ash}} after he tells her that he's okay, presumably because of his apparent lack of care for {{AP|Pikachu}}.
*''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'': Misty smashing {{an|Brock}} with a log because he says, "to be continued..." rather than beginning the episode.
*[[EP035]]: Safari Zone Warden, Kaiser, repeatedly threatening Ash and the group with a revolver, leading to the entire episode being [[banned episodes|banned]].
*''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'': A {{p|Carvanha}} hitting Ash in the back of the head.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Norway}}''' with the launch of the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. In Norway, Bergsala A/S owns the franchise.

==Pokémon anime==
The [[Pokémon anime]] is broadcasted on '''Disney XD''' (previously known as ''Fox Kids'' and later ''Jetix'') and TV2 Junior. Most of the [[Johto]] saga has been skipped, and was never shown on Norwegian television. The 9th season, ''Battle Frontier'', has never been shown on television, but was streamed online on TV2's streaming service ''TV2 Sumo'' the summer of 2009.

Most episodes of the series were simply the American broadcast version with an added dub track, and for certain early episodes, a list of key dub voice actors shown after the American credit roll. Starting with the TV2 broadcast of season 12, which had previously aired on Jetix, actual video edits were done to the episodes, with the English title replaced with a Norwegian one, a new "To be continued" message in Norwegian, and a new set of credits properly crediting the entire Norwegian dubbing staff.

When Pokémon first aired on TV2, the series was accused of marketing Pokémon merchandise. Since commercials and marketing towards children is illegal in Norway, per [[EP031|episode 30]], TV2 was forced to edit out ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]'', in addition to the bonus clips at the end of some episodes, such as the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokémon rap]] and ''[[Pikachu's Jukebox]]''. The ban was lifted after the anime came back from its hiatus with season 6, and some unedited versions of early episodes were also released on home video.

===Cast and crew===
The main character, [[Ash Ketchum]], is dubbed by '''Nils-Martin Crawfurd''' (born August 19, 1983). {{an|Misty}}'s role was given to '''Anine Kruse''' (born November 1, 1977), and {{an|Brock}} was originally voiced by '''Eirik Espolin Johnson'''. Even though he passed that role to '''Erik Skøld''' (who also voiced [[Gary Oak]] and [[Tracey Sketchit]]), Eirik continued to voice characters in the anime, such as [[Hank]], {{an|Matt}}, [[Samuel]], [[Scott]] (season 8), {{FB|Palace Maven|Spenser}}, [[Robin]] and more recently [[Trip]].

[[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} were voiced by '''Lena Meieran''', '''Ola Fjellvikaas''', and '''Tommy Karlsen''' (born June 9, 1975) respectively. Karlsen, who is most known for his role as the protagonist ''Proffen'' in the popular movie serial ''Pelle og Proffen'', also had many other roles in the series, including {{EF|Drake}}, {{mov|Kai}}, [[Maron]], {{Brocksib|Tommy}}, [[Raoul Contesta]] (from [[AG160]] and up), and other minor roles. His performance as Meowth is heavily based on [[Nathan Price]]'s interpretation of the role. In the DP episodes, he also voices [[Paul]]. Ola Fjellvikaas eventually passed the role of James to '''Kim Fangen''', who later passed the role to '''Simen Sand''' in the beginning of season 8. Sand's interpretation of James is notably much more flamboyant than Fjellvikaas' rendering, taking inspiration from [[Eric Stuart]]'s later work in the role. He also took over the roles of [[Professor Oak]] (who was originally dubbed by '''Even Rasmussen''') and [[Harley]].

In season 9, [[Professor Oak]]'s role was given to '''Trond Teigen''', a veteran actor and one of the most prominent voice actors in the Norwegian Pokémon dub, best known for being the voice of the narrator since the first episode. He is also the vocalist for several of the Norwegian opening themes, including the opening to the first season, ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]]''. Teigen voiced many other characters in the series, including {{ho|Adam}}, [[Archie]], [[Bill]], {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, [[Butch]], [[Conway]], [[Dee Dunstan]], [[Drew]], [[Fitzwilliam]], [[Forrest]], {{ho|Hal}}, [[Isaiah]], {{ka|Jeremy}}, {{ka|Jonathan}}, {{OBP|Joshua|Coordinator}}, [[Kerrigan]], [[Nando]], [[Nicholai]], [[Professor Birch]], [[Professor Proctor]], {{an|Randy}}, {{ho|Sebastian}}, [[Sigourney]], [[Tate and Liza|Tate]], {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}}, and [[Wallace]].

{{an|May}} was voiced by '''Marit Berg''', while her brother [[Max]] was voiced by '''Even Løken Bergan'''. {{an|Dawn}}'s role is performed by '''Eline Høyer'''.

Other notable voice actors in the Norwegian dub include '''Siv Klynderud''' as [[Officer Jenny]] and '''Hanne Dancke Arnesen''' as [[Nurse Joy]], with '''Katrine Blomstrand''' and '''Scott Maurstad''' providing the voices for other characters.

===Music===
In the year 2000, the soundtrack album ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]'' was translated into Norwegian under the title ''{{tt|Pokémon Du må fange dem alle!|Pokémon Gotta Catch 'em All!}}''.

==Pokémon games==
The games are released in Norway at the same time as all other European countries. They are not localized to Norwegian, but are in English.

===Events===
{{bulbanews|Norway Celebi distribution announced}}
Norway receives the same Wi-Fi events as the rest of the PAL region.

Local events do not occur often in Norway. Events are announced at the official [http://forum.pokemon.no/index.php Pokémon forums of Norway]. From March 5th to April 2, 2010, players could receive {{p|Arceus}} as a [[Wonder Card]] at GameStop. In February 2011, {{p|Celebi}} was available at GameStop and [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Winter 2011 Celebi|in Spaceworld stores]] across Norway.

The [[Generation III|third generation]] received most of the same events as the rest of Europe. Events for the [[Game Boy Advance]] games were given out at the national championships for the TCG, but also on other occasions. Aura Mew was given out the first time in fall 2007, and at the TCG championships in 2008 and 2009. The top 10 most wanted was given out the first time in 2006, and the last time before it was sent back to Nintendo was in 2008. Norway also got [[Eon Ticket]] and [[AuroraTicket]].

At some national championships, Jirachi has also been given away unofficially from a GameCube bonus disc.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{StrategyWiki}}

'''Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンレンジャーバトナージ''' ''Pokémon Ranger Vatonage'') is an action-adventure game for the Nintendo DS and the sequel to {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. It was released in Japan on March 20, 2008, and it was released in America on November 10, 2008.

The game is set in a new region called [[Almia]] where the base of operations is a [[Ranger School]] that the main characters have just graduated from. The selection of [[partner Pokémon]] has risen from solely {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} to a choice between 17 different species. Additionally, there are several side quests and a card collection system used to power up the [[Capture Styler]].

Special missions were available from the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, via [[Ranger Net]], prior to the service's discontinuation in 2014.

==Basic information==
* It takes place in the region of [[Almia]]. In the story, the player character starts out as a student in a Pokémon Ranger School. After a few tasks, he or she then graduates.
* The player can choose to play as a male or a female protagonist. Players can choose the name of their protagonist, the defaults of which are [[Kellyn]] (male) and {{ra|Kate}} (female).
* The game primarily features [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, but it does feature a few Pokémon from other generations.
* The player will have a selectable Pokémon partner. After doing certain quests, the player can choose if he or she wants the Pokémon to come with them. Selectable partners include {{P|Munchlax}}, {{P|Turtwig}}, {{P|Chimchar}}, {{P|Piplup}}, {{P|Kricketot}}, {{P|Mime Jr.}}, {{P|Cranidos}}, {{P|Shieldon}}, {{P|Croagunk}}, {{P|Machop}}, {{P|Pachirisu}}, {{P|Starly}}, {{P|Hippopotas}}, {{P|Snover}}, {{P|Misdreavus}}, {{P|Sneasel}}, and {{P|Gible}}. They can be changed by talking to them in the player's family farm south of the player's house. It should be noted that each Pokémon is of one of the 17 [[type]]s of Pokémon, and that each Pokémon has a different length of a Partner Energy bar. The partner's energy may also be filled faster when it is in a happy mood, signaled by black or multicolored music notes rising above it.
* The [[villainous team]] is named [[Team Dim Sun]] (Japanese: '''ヤミヤミ団''' ''Team {{tt|Yamiyami|Darkness darkness}}).
* [[Team Dim Sun]] uses computers called Miniremo Units to hypnotize Pokémon and put them under their control.
* The game has sixty optional, non-story-progressing missions called Quests where the player helps citizens of Almia.
* A player may only take on one quest at a time.
* When a player completes each quest, they get a power boost to their [[Capture Styler]].
* Quests are divided into two types - Pokémon befriending and Quests that players receive a power boost for their Capture Styler.
* After capturing the first 266 Pokémon in the [[Adex|Browser]], the player can go up against {{p|Regigigas}}. The player must currently have in their party {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}}. Regigigas is found in a quicksand pit, hidden in the [[Hippowdon Temple]].
* A system of collectible cards can power up the Capture Styler.
* The player is able to ride on Pokémon in some environments, including lava, rivers and icy waters.
* There are five Pokémon that a player can ride on to progress to other locations - {{p|Doduo}}, {{p|Torkoal}}, {{p|Empoleon}}, {{p|Staraptor}}, and {{p|Floatzel}}.
* There were three Pokémon unlocked in this game by ''Special Missions'' in [[Ranger Net]], in the vein of the {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} mission in the prequel. These missions are no longer available. The Pokémon available were a {{p|Manaphy}} Egg, a {{p|Riolu}} with {{m|Aura Sphere}} and {{p|Darkrai}} with {{m|Dark Void}}.
* In addition to the aforementioned special missions, there is another group of missions called ''extra missions''. The rare Pokémon encountered during these missions are {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Shaymin}} (Land Forme). Unlike in the special missions, the Pokémon captured in extra missions are not allowed to be transferred to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{v2|Platinum}}.
* The game was able utilize the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for unlocking both special and extra missions, but only for a limited period of time and prior to the discontinuation of the service in favor of Nintendo solely supporting the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS's Nintendo Network. They did not work for different regions; only the specific game version when the event is held would be able to use the function.
* Special Missions can be repeated but sending the Pokémon can only be done once. This is an improvement over the original, as replaying the Manaphy mission only played a cutscene in which Lunick, Solana, and the Professor's assistant discuss Manaphy.
* A [[Capture Arena]] is available after the game for players to hone their skills.

==Plot==
{{Spoilers}}
The game follows the protagonist, a young [[Pokémon Ranger]] as he or she graduates from [[Ranger School]] and takes on the duties of a fully fledged Ranger. The male is called {{tt|Kellyn|Hajime in the Japanese version}} and the female is called {{tt|Kate|Hitomi in the Japanese version}}. Only Kellyn appears in the [[Pokémon anime]].

Missions advance the story, which is centered around the antagonists [[Team Dim Sun]] (Team Yami Yami in the Japanese version) and their unknown intentions involving Pokémon mind-control machines called [[Gigaremo units|Gigaremos]] powered by dark crystals. Quests usually consist of the player traveling around the [[Almia]] region, performing varying tasks requested by citizens in exchange for rewards.

The game starts at the [[Ranger School]], with the player enrolling as a student after expertly capturing a {{p|Pikachu}}. The player quickly makes friends with two of classmates, [[Rhythmi]] who dreams of being an Operator, and [[Keith]], a rival, who dreams of becoming a Top Ranger. After the player and Keith nearly discover what [[Kincaid|Mr. Kincaid]], a teacher, is doing in the basement, Mr. Kincaid seals it off from all students. Both the player and Keith show strong potential as Rangers, and graduate with full honors after defeating two {{p|Tangrowth}} at their graduation ceremony. The player stays in Almia, while Keith and Rhythmi go to [[Fiore]] as part of their training. The player's family moves into a nearby town known as [[Chicole Village]], and the player goes to live with them.

The next day, the player becomes an Area Ranger in the local village of [[Vientown]].
After recovering a Partner Pokémon, [[Pachirisu]], [[Munchlax]], or [[Starly]] at the beach, the player begins his/her first major mission by patrolling a nearby cave. The Pokémon inside the cave are unusually aggressive and resistant to capture by the Ranger's styler. At the back of the cave, the player finds a strange machine (later called a [[Gigaremo]]) that appears to be controlling the Pokémon. The rangers promptly destroy the device, freeing the Pokémon, and begin researching its abilities. Subsequently, the rangers discover that the Gigaremos are being set up by Team Dim Sun, suggesting wider criminal activities. The player travels to the Ranger Union, the headquarters of all Ranger operations in Almia, to warn the Rangers about the Gigaremo. On the way, the player sees [[Altru Inc.]], a powerful oil company that is building a massive tower in the center of the Almia region.

Soon afterward, the player is informed of a fire in the [[Vien Forest]], north of Vientown. After going into the forest, the player will have to capture a {{p|Blastoise}} and use its {{m|Rain Dance}} move to douse the fire. Afterwards, the player is congratulated on how well he or she has done, and can progress onto the city on the other end of the Vien Forest-[[Pueltown]].

A few days later, the player is sent on a mission to retrieve his/her missing team leader, [[Barlow]]. Barlow was last seen in [[Boyleland]] investigating a volcanic cave. The player will have to go to Pueltown and take a boat to Boyleland. Deep inside the cave, the player finds members of Team Dim Sun deploying new Miniremo devices to control all of the Pokémon on the island. The player dodges the guards and learns that Barlow has been captured and is being placed on a ship along with the Pokémon. The player sneaks on board, locates Barlow, and the two launch an assault on the ship's bridge. Although Barlow's Styler is destroyed in the ensuing attack, the player forces Team Dim Sun, including its leader, Mr. Kincaid, to abandon the ship, saving all of Boyleland's Pokémon. The ship crashes into the yard of the Ranger School, never to sail again.

Recognizing the threat posed by Team Dim Sun, the Ranger Union promptly promotes the player to the rank of [[Top Ranger]]. At the Union, the player discovers that Keith has also been promoted to Top Ranger, and that Rhythmi has achieved her dream of becoming a Top Operator, where she serves as the player's guide. During the player's first mission as a Top Ranger, he or she helps another Top Ranger, named [[Sven]], to investigate a Dim Sun mining operation in the Chroma Ruins, east of the Ranger Union. They discover that Dim Sun is searching for dark crystals for powering the Gigaremo devices.

After defeating a {{p|Spiritomb}}, they also discover a massive hole, apparently left from removing the legendary "Shadow Crystal" whose current location is unknown. While studying the dark crystal retrieved from a captured Gigaremo, several Union workers accidentally discover that the crystals can be neutralized by a set of red, blue, and yellow [[shard]]s. The player and Keith go on to separately collect the sources of these shards; the blue gem from Almia Castle, the red gem from Boyle Volcano, and the yellow gem from the [[Hippowdon Temple]]. Although the player takes both the blue and red gems, Keith is captured by a member of Team Dim Sun's [[Sinis Trio]], who uses him to blackmail the player into surrendering the yellow gem.

Meanwhile, Sven raids Dim Sun's undersea base, stealing plans for an "Incredible Machine". The plans reveal that [[Altru Inc.]]'s tower is actually a massive Gigaremo powered by the Shadow Crystal and that Altru has been behind Dim Sun's activities. Realizing that the tower will become operational within hours (i.e. during the tower's "opening ceremony"), the Ranger Union orders all of its Rangers to attack the tower. Equipped with a specialized Styler designed to overcome the Gigaremo's influence, the player succeeds in deactivating the tower's force fields and rescues the yellow gem, allowing the other Rangers to launch an airborne assault on the Shadow Crystal at the tower's top. However, the tower reaches operational capacity before the Rangers can reach the Shadow Crystal. Altru Inc.'s president, [[Blake Hall]], takes the chance to destroy the Rangers' only hope of disabling the tower (the three colored gems) by charging the crystal to its maximum power level and summoning his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Darkrai}}. Darkrai instead goes insane from the intense power overload, attacks Blake, and darkens the area, preventing the rangers from approaching the Shadow Crystal. By empowering his/her Styler with the gems, the player stops Darkrai's rage, allowing the other Rangers to disable the tower by converting the Shadow Crystal into a "Luminous Crystal" which undoes the mental torture inflicted on Almia's Pokémon. In the end, peace returns to Almia and its inhabitants, and the characters enjoy a concert originally planned for Altru Inc. (ironically played by the [[Go-Rock Quads]] from the original [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger]] game) while the player returns home to his/her family. The game ends showing Darkrai circling the Luminous Crystal, signifying the return of peace.

==Reception==

==Staff==

==Trivia==
* [[Fiore]] is mentioned many times in the game, as are characters from the previous games.
** The main character's family moved from the Fiore region.
** {{ra|Keith}} and [[Rhythmi]] were originally stationed in Fiore after graduation.
** Marcus, an Operator in the Ranger Union, says he's in charge of Rangers in Fiore.
** [[Professor Hastings]] returns, as does [[Murph]], though he isn't a Ranger anymore.
** There are references to {{ra|Spenser}} and [[Elita]] on the Pledge Stone; they both wrote their goals on it.
** The [[Go-Rock Quads]] return as a famous band; they also mention that their name isn't "[[Go-Rock Squad]]".
* The Ranger Browser no longer gives ''flavor text''. It now only gives the Pokémon's attack data.
* When describing the quest "Murph's Ranger Contest", Murph uses the word "[[Eeveelution]]", which had never previously been used in the games, despite longtime usage as fan terminology.
* When looking through Brighton's Diary, Murph says ''Brighton... Brighton... Isn't that some kind of candy?''. This is likely a reference to the popular English candy called {{wp|Rock (confectionery)|Rock}}, which is mainly found in the city of Brighton along the South Coast of the United Kingdom, and is sometimes referred to as ''Brighton Rock'' or ''Brighton Rock-Candy''.
* Failing to stop the sinking of the [[Cargo Ship]] is the first occasion the player character in a Pokémon game can die.
* Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is the only Pokémon Ranger game in which the opposite-gender counterpart of the main character does not appear in the game.

'''Diamond & Pearl''' (Japanese: '''第７章ダイヤモンド・パール編''' ''The Seventh Chapter: Diamond and Pearl'') is the seventh {{Adv|chapter}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, consisting of nine volumes. It is the third longest completed chapter of the series. In North America, this chapter is grouped with the [[Platinum chapter (Adventures)|Platinum chapter]] as the eleven-volume ''Pokémon Adventures Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum'', as ''[[Pokémon Platinum Version]]'' had been released internationally by the time these two chapters were released internationally.

The chapter follows the adventures of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and Lady {{adv|Platinum}} Berlitz as they travel through [[Sinnoh]] towards [[Mt. Coronet]]. The aim of the journey is for Platinum to fulfill a family tradition by using a material from the mountain's summit to create an accessory bearing the Berlitz family crest. However, a misunderstanding leads her [[Paka and Uji|bodyguards]] to be switched with Diamond and Pearl, who think they are in a reality TV show with Platinum as a tour guide.

The journey is made difficult as the group get detoured by [[Team Galactic]] numerous times which in turn causes Team Galactic to get irritated by them. During their travels, Diamond and Pearl frequently practice their {{wp|manzai}} comedy routine while Platinum decides to test her skills by challenging Gym Leaders and Contests.

'''Diamond & Pearl''' (Japanese: '''第７章ダイヤモンド・パール編''' ''The Seventh Chapter: Diamond and Pearl'') is the seventh {{Adv|chapter}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, consisting of nine volumes. It is the third longest completed chapter of the series. In North America, this chapter is grouped with the [[Platinum chapter (Adventures)|Platinum chapter]] as the eleven-volume ''Pokémon Adventures Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum'', as Platinum had been released internationally by the time these two chapters were released internationally.

The chapter follows the adventures of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and Lady {{adv|Platinum}} Berlitz as they travel through [[Sinnoh]] towards [[Mt. Coronet]]. The aim of the journey is for Platinum to fulfill a family tradition by using a material from the mountain's summit to create an accessory bearing the Berlitz family crest. However, a misunderstanding leads her [[Paka and Uji|bodyguards]] to be switched with Diamond and Pearl, who think they are in a reality TV show with Platinum as a tour guide.

The journey is made difficult as the group get detoured by [[Team Galactic]] numerous times which in turn causes Team Galactic to get irritated by them. During their travels, Diamond and Pearl frequently practice their {{wp|manzai}} comedy routine while Platinum decides to test her skills by challenging Gym Leaders and Contests.

The Best of Pokémon Adventures

2014-09-05T08:33:38Z

Evice:

[[File:Best of Adventures Red.png|thumb|right|120px|The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Red, the first volume in the series]]
'''The Best of Pokémon Adventures''' is the title of two compilations of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} released by [[VIZ Media]] in 2006. The books contain a sample of chapters from the first two story arcs.

Both volumes are based on VIZ Media's first edition of Pokémon Adventures and retain the flipped, left-to-right reading format of the original publication. The success of the compilation volumes resulted in VIZ Media re-releasing the entire series, including volumes based on games made after the initial run ended (starting with ''Gold'' and ''Silver'' after the second edition of the final Yellow volume was published), from [[Pokémon Adventures volume 1|volume one]] beginning in June 2009. For the new run of the manga, the format was reverted to the original Japanese right-to-left page order.

There are two volumes in the series:
* [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Red]]
* [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Yellow]]

==Trivia==
{{bulbanews|Nickelodeon Magazine gives The Best of Pokémon Adventures award}}
* In 2009, The Best of Pokémon Adventures won the ''Favorite Manga Series'' award in {{wp|Nickelodeon Magazine}}'s Nickelodeon Comics Awards.

==Trivia==
* Despite Pidove's Pokédex entry in Pokémon Black saying that they do not fully understand commands, Pidove in the anime appear to understand the commands of their Trainers just fine.

===Origin===
Pidove seems to be based on a {{wp|Columbidae|pigeon or dove}}.

====Name origin====
Pidove is a combination of "pigeon" and "dove". Mamepato may be a combination of 忠実 ''mame'' meaning diligent, or 豆 ''mame'', a prefix meaning tiny, and 鳩 ''hato'' meaning pigeon.

:"Those that can, do. Those that can't, complain."
::—{{wp|Linus Torvalds}}

My account's name comes from [[Mayor Es Cade|the ''Pokémon Colosseum'' character]]. I also [[wp:User:Evice|use this username on Wikipedia]]. (Should be obvious that my Wikipedia user page is more complete and less serious than my user page here.) I typically go by GastonRabbit if I'm not going by Evice.

I am an American born on April 21, 1989, and have been playing Pokémon games since I bought [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]] on its (North American) release. I currently own all main Pokémon games released in North America (in English), in addition to a Japanese copy of [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] and a Japanese copy of [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|SoulSilver]].

Other than the games, pretty much the only other Pokémon media I'm into would be the manga (mostly [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]).

I primarily use {{wp|Mozilla Firefox}} as my Web browser and {{wp|Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu}} as my operating system. ({{wp|Windows Vista}}, my secondary operating system, is on a separate partition; I also use Firefox on it.) I use the US International keyboard layout on both operating systems, which makes typing Pokémon easier due to the layout's diacritic support.

[[Youngster|I also like shorts. (They're comfy and easy to wear.)]]

(Despite the above statement, I'd fit better in the [[Super Nerd]] Trainer class.)

==Pokédex==
This is my Pokédex status for the DS games. I might be too lazy to keep it up-to-date at times.
*Diamond: 493 seen/493 caught
*Pearl: 492 seen/492 caught
*Platinum: 492 seen/492 caught
*HeartGold: 492 seen/492 caught
*SoulSilver (Japanese): 492 seen/492 caught
*SoulSilver (English): 492 seen/492 caught

==Party Pokémon==
These are the Pokémon in my parties in the DS games.
===Diamond===
*{{p|Infernape}} ♂
*{{p|Staraptor}} ♀
*{{p|Machamp}} ♂
*{{p|Golem}} ♀
*{{p|Golduck}} ♂
*{{p|Luxray}} ♀

The fact that half my party is male and half is female is a coincidence. I didn't <s>waste</s> spend as much time with Diamond as with Platinum.
===Pearl===
*{{p|Torterra}} ♀
*{{p|Machamp}} ♂
*{{p|Staraptor}} ♂
*{{p|Gastrodon}} ♂
*{{p|Luxray}} ♂
*{{p|Golem}} ♂

I have no idea why the only female Pokémon I ended up with was the one least likely to be female. Also, I have not played Pearl as much as Diamond and Platinum (especially the latter).
===Platinum===
*{{p|Infernape}} ♂
*{{p|Xatu}} ♂
*{{p|Weavile}} ♂
*{{p|Golduck}} ♀
*{{p|Luxray}} ♂
*{{p|Linoone}} ♀

Unlike my level 100 teams in Red and Blue, which were the result of abuse of the [[Item duplication glitch]], my Platinum levels (which are all 100) are the result of lots and lots of wasted time. I went with the same starter as in Diamond because I already had Piplup and didn't want to start with it.

===HeartGold===
*{{p|Typhlosion}} ♂
*{{p|Pidgeot}} ♀
*{{p|Azumarill}} ♂
*{{p|Steelix}} ♂
*{{p|Espeon}} ♂
*{{p|Umbreon}} ♂

Didn't play this as much as both copies of SoulSilver.

===SoulSilver (Japanese)===
*{{p|Meganium}} ♂
*{{p|Noctowl}} ♀
*{{p|Machamp}} ♀
*{{p|Quagsire}} ♂
*{{p|Magnezone}}
*{{p|Arbok}} ♂

All except Machamp and Magnezone have their names displayed in Japanese (those two were evolved on my English-language games)

===SoulSilver (English)===
*{{p|Feraligatr}} ♂
*{{p|Xatu}} ♀
*{{p|Hitmontop}} ♂
*{{p|Sudowoodo}} ♂
*{{p|Weavile}} ♀
*{{p|Smeargle}} ♂

This is my main game between my copies of HGSS.

Super Nerd (Trainer class)

2010-08-15T03:19:52Z

Evice:

A '''Super Nerd''' (Japanese: '''りかけいのおとこ''' ''Science Man'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are generally depicted as skinny teenage boys, with long hair and glasses. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, they are accompanied by a remote-controlled robotic {{p|Pikachu}} holding a [[Poké Ball]]. The HeartGold and SoulSilver version of the Super Nerd class also resembles a skinnier version of Generation IV's [[Collector]]s.

They are very similar to [[Scientist]]s.

They generally use a combination of {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Electric}}-, and {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

[[Image:Conway.png|210px|right|thumb|Conway]]

==In the anime==
[[Conway]], a minor recurring character, who was {{an|Dawn|Dawn's}} tag team partner, seems to be based on the Super Nerd class. He appeared in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It!]]'', and through the summer arc special from ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'' through to ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]''. However, he is not known to own any {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Electric}} or {{type2|Fire}}s.

==In the manga==
'''William''' (Japanese: '''アキヒト''' ''Akihito''), a minor recurring character in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, belongs to the Super Nerd class. He first appears in ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'' where he is disguised as {{adv|Red}}, punches [[Erika]] and takes away [[Pika]]. He uses a {{p|Marowak}} to escape from the citizens of [[Celadon City]]. He is later defeated in ''[[PS048|Paras Sight]]'' by [[Misty]], [[Brock]], [[Erika]], and [[Blaine]], and {{adv|Yellow}} gets Pika back from him. In ''[[PS049|As Gastly as Before]]'', he is taken away by a {{p|Gastly}} and it is later revealed that he was hired by [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]].

Scientist (Trainer class)

2010-08-15T03:16:16Z

Evice:

A '''Scientist''' (Japanese: '''はぐれけんきゅういん''' ''Researcher Gone Astray'' in Generations I, II and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]], '''けんきゅういん''' ''Researcher'' in Generation III and [[DPPt]]) is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are men in [[wp:White coat|lab coats]] and glasses, with the ones in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} as well as {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} holding {{wp|beaker (glassware)|beakers}} as well. They are often aligned with [[Team Rocket]], as shown throughout the first four generations, and with [[Team Galactic]], as shown in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

They generally use inorganic or artificial Pokémon such as {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Muk}}, and {{p|Voltorb}}.

In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Scientists are known as '''Lab Men'''. In the English version of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Scientists are known as '''Researchers''', while Scientists working for [[Cipher]] are called '''Cipher R&D''' in XD.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Scientists appearing outside of the [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Frontier]] have a sprite unique to themselves with clothes consisting of a tattered lab coat and black pants, while Scientists within the Battle Frontier use the Diamond, Pearl and Platinum sprite, which has them wearing a normal-looking lab coat and white pants.

Joey

2010-08-15T03:09:16Z

Evice: Typo

'''Joey''' (Japanese: '''ゴロウ''' ''Gorō'') is a [[Youngster]] and one of the few [[Trainer classes|regular Trainers]] who appeared in other canons than the games themselves. In [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, he is known as '''Grant'''; however, [[VIZ Media]]'s translations, consistently with the games, refer to him as Joey.

==In the games==
In the [[Generation II]] games, other than the {{ga|Silver|rival}}, Joey is the first {{pkmn|Trainer}} the {{player}} battles in the game.

He is first seen battling with another [[Youngster]], Mikey, and blocking [[Johto Route 30|the route]]. After the player delivers the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Mystery Egg}} to [[Professor Elm]], Joey is done with battling after his apparent loss to Mikey. He is now ready to challenge the {{player}} with his {{p|Rattata}}. After the battle, he gives out his [[Pokégear]] number and hence can be rematched.

Joey makes great emphasis of the fact that he only raises one [[Pokémon]], his {{p|Rattata}} ({{p|Raticate}} from the third rematch and onwards).

==In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga==
[[Image:Joey.png|thumb|Joey in Pokemon Adventures manga]]
Joey is [[Professor Elm]]'s assistant and his errand boy. His partner [[Pokémon]] is {{p|Rattata}}.

He is first seen in {{adv|Gold}}'s garden, on the way to [[Professor Elm|Elm]]'s lab to deliver several [[Pokémon]] to the professor for examination. However, his backpack was stolen by a wild {{p|Murkrow}} along with Gold's radio antenna, causing Gold's radio to lose broadcast. After noticing that something is wrong with radio, Gold spots Joey in the garden and mistakes him for the thief. The Youngster explains that the real thief is Murkrow. Gold decides to retrieve stolen objects. He succeeds, catches the Murkrow and the boys become friends.

After the incident with {{p|Murkrow}}, Gold and Joey travel together for a while. After a trip in [[New Bark Town]], Gold notices [[Pokémon]] from his backpack have been stolen and they go to the laboratory to tell Professor Elm about it. Unluckily, they come to the lab just after {{adv|Silver}} stole the {{p|Totodile}}. After that, Joey uses his computer to montage a picture of Silver for the police. Then, they meet [[Professor Oak]] who is interested by the fact that Silver had a [[Pokédex]]. It turns out that the Oak was the one who ordered him to deliver the Pokémon to Elm. Gold wants to get a Pokédex from Oak, but the professor refuses.

After that, {{adv|Gold}} decides to [[Pokémon training|train]] when a thunderstorm started to rage. Joey's {{p|Rattata}} falls into the river, and Gold goes to rescue it. After Joey tells this to [[Professor Oak]], the professor decides to give Gold the [[Pokédex]]. After that, Joey decides to return to [[New Bark Town]] to pay [[Professor Elm]] a visit, while Gold decides to search for Silver. The boys go separate ways.

Joey is later seen as a cameo helping [[Professor Elm]].

In [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the manga, he was known as '''Grant'''. However, [[VIZ Media]]'s translations properly identify him as Joey.

==In the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]] manga==
Joey is first seen in the very first chapter of the manga. He is battling [[Gold (Golden Boys)|Gold]]'s {{p|Totodile}} with his {{p|Rattata}}. After the battle, Gold tells Joey how he got his Totodile in a flashback scene. Then, the boys spot an injuried {{p|Pidgey}} lying amidst the grass of {{rt|28|Kanto}}. After Gold helps the Pidgey recover using a [[Berry]], Joey starts to appreciate Gold's kind heart. After that, the boys go separate ways.

Joey is seen again on the Summit in [[Ecruteak City]]. His {{p|Rattata}} has apparently evolved into a {{p|Raticate}}.

== Trivia ==
* A Trainer that appears on the pathway to [[Cerulean Cape|Bill's Cottage]] has the same English name. He also has a {{p|Rattata}}, as well as a {{p|Spearow}}. However, the Japanese name is different.
* On the [[Pokégear]], even after his {{p|Rattata}} has evolved into {{p|Raticate}}, Joey brags about his Rattata, not Raticate.
** This is, however, a common trait that applies to all such Trainers (in games with Pokégear) that can be rematched and have Pokémon that evolve between rematches.

'''Burmy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミノムッチ''' ''Minomutchi'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

Burmy's [[evolution]]s are [[gender]] dependent: female Burmy evolve into {{p|Wormadam}} and male Burmy evolve into {{p|Mothim}}, both starting at [[level]] 20.

It changes its cloak based on the location where it last battled. It will be the Plant Cloak if it last battled outside or in tall grass, the Sandy Cloak if it last battled in a cave, on a beach, or faced a Pokémon from a Honey tree, and the Trash Cloak if it last battled in a building. In the wild it is always the Plant Cloak variation. Its cloak only affects what its second type will be if it evolves into {{p|Wormadam}}; it otherwise does not affect gameplay.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Burmy no cloak.png|thumb|left|Burmy without any Cloak on as seen in the anime]]
[[File:Burmy Manga.jpg|thumb|right|Burmy without any Cloak on as seen in the manga]]
Burmy has a black segmented body with a coil-like appendage on the top its head. It has a beak-like mouth and yellow eyes. Burmy has six stubby legs (the first two pairs are black, while the back pair is yellow). Burmy's body is normally covered by a coat of leaves, sand, or pink building insulation.
====Gender differences====
A female Burmy evolves into a {{p|Wormadam}} while a male Burmy evolves into {{p|Mothim}}. There are no visual differences between male and female Burmy.

====Special abilities====
Even if it is born where there are no cocooning materials, it somehow always ends up with a cloak. If a Burmy is female, when it evolves the materials used to compose its cloak become a permanent fixture on its body, and give it varying types and movesets depending on which material was used.

===Behavior===
It usually hangs from trees, wearing a cloak made out of leaves and small twigs to protect itself from the cold, although its cloak will be thinner when the weather is hot. It will not hesitate to collect nearby materials to construct a new cloak if the old one breaks or falls off.

===Habitat===
Like most Bug-types, it is found mostly in forested areas, particularly trees. However, it'll make itself at home in rocky places or even in urban environments if it gets the opportunity.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It probably feeds on the tree sap that it camouflages in. This makes it easy to attract with [[Honey]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Burmy-anime.jpg|thumb|Burmy in the anime]]
Burmy has had cameos in the Japanese opening [[Together]] and in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'' where {{an|Dawn}} tried and failed to catch one.

Burmy also starred in ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening]]'', the episode [[Cheryl]] made her debut. She caught a wild Burmy that was lured to the Honey she put on a tree. After battles with Team Rocket, the Burmy evolved into a {{TP|Cheryl|Mothim}}.

A group of Burmy also appeared in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP002|Burmy|Dawn's Pokédex|Burmy, the Bag Worm Pokémon. To {{m|protect}} itself from the cold wind, Burmy uses leaves and branches to make a cloak around itself.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
{{Adv|Platinum}}'s intended bodyguard [[Paka and Uji|Paka]] is seen using a Burmy alongside [[Paka and Uji|Uji]]'s {{p|Buizel}}, fending off an attack from an {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Croagunk}} belonging to [[Team Galactic]].

==Trivia==
* Burmy is one of four Pokémon whose evolution is based on gender (the other three being {{p|Combee}} into {{p|Vespiquen}}, {{p|Kirlia}} into {{p|Gallade}}, and {{p|Snorunt}} into {{p|Froslass}}). However, both of its genders have a specific evolution linked to them, unlike the other three.
* Burmy and {{p|Wormadam}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pineco}} and {{p|Forretress}}. They are all known as Bagworm Pokémon.
* Along with {{p|Wurmple}} and {{p|Clamperl}}, it is one of the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutionary paths are all Pokémon of the same generation as it is.
* Burmy's coat does not change if leveled up with an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}, making this a viable option for keeping a wanted cloak to evolution.
* In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' Burmy was shown temporarily without its cloak.
* Burmy's evolutionary family is one of the most complex, with two factors deciding its evolutionary event: its gender and its appearance.
* If Wormadam's three forms are considered different Pokémon (internally, by the games, they are considered to be), Burmy is one of three Pokémon able to evolve into more than two species, the others being {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Tyrogue}}.
* It is unknown how Burmy changes cloaks, since it is not shown in the anime.
* Despite the fact that Burmy change their cloaks based on their surroundings, a Bug Catcher is shown using both a Trash cloak and a Sandy cloak Burmy in Eterna Forest.
===Origin===
Burmy is based on a [[wp:bagworm moth|bagworm]] pupa, which will metamorphose into a moth if male, or remain a pupa-like creature if female.
====Name origin====
Burmy's name may be a combinaton of "bag" and "wormy". Burmy's Japanese name may be based on 蓑虫 ''minomushi'', the Japanese name for the {{wp|bagworm}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Burmy
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cheniti - From ''chenille'' (caterpillar) and ''petit'' (small).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 도롱충이 ''Dorongchung'i''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 結草兒 ''Jié Cǎo Ér'' - Combination of 結草蟲 ''Jiécǎochóng'' (bagworm) and 兒 (child/baby/son). Literally "Weaved grass child".

'''VIZ Media, LLC''' (previously known as '''Viz Communications, Inc.''' and '''Viz Comics''') is an anime and manga company founded in 1986. It is headquartered in San Fransisco, CA and is owned by [[Shōgakukan]] and {{wp|Shueisha}}. VIZ Media publishes Pokémon {{pkmn|manga}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, and other media in the United States, {{pmin|Canada}}, England, Ireland, and South Africa.

==Publishing format==
In the past, VIZ Media published their manga left-to-right with reversed artwork. Pokémon titles which were published this way are [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the first printing of [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures]].

Some time after these series were published, the manga industry has shifted to publishing all manga in the original right-to-left format. Therefore, starting with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]], all of all of VIZ Media's Pokémon titles have been published right-to-left.

===Monthly issues===
In their early years, VIZ Media often published manga in American-style monthly issues before they were published in collected volumes. These issues would often include letters and fan artwork as bonus content. [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] were published in this way.

As collected manga volumes have been accepted as the preferred format of manga releases and manga magazines (such as {{wp|Shonen Jump}} and {{wp|Yen Plus}}) have become more widespread in North America, VIZ Media and its competitors no longer publish these American-style monthly issues.

Joey

2010-08-12T03:58:58Z

Evice:

'''Joey''' (Japanese: '''ゴロウ''' ''Gorō'') is a [[Youngster]] and one of the few [[Trainer classes|regular Trainers]] who appeared in other canons than the games themselves. In [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, he is known as '''Grant'''; however, [[VIZ Media]]'s translations, consistently with the games, refers to him as Joey.

==In the games==
In the [[Generation II]] games, other than the {{ga|Silver|rival}}, Joey is the first {{pkmn|Trainer}} the {{player}} battles in the game.

He is first seen battling with another [[Youngster]], Mikey, and blocking [[Johto Route 30|the route]]. After the player delivers the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Mystery Egg}} to [[Professor Elm]], Joey is done with battling after his apparent loss to Mikey. He is now ready to challenge the {{player}} with his {{p|Rattata}}. After the battle, he gives out his [[Pokégear]] number and hence can be rematched.

Joey makes great emphasis of the fact that he only raises one [[Pokémon]], his {{p|Rattata}} ({{p|Raticate}} from the third rematch and onwards).

==In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga==
[[Image:Joey.png|thumb|Joey in Pokemon Adventures manga]]
Joey is [[Professor Elm]]'s assistant and his errand boy. His partner [[Pokémon]] is {{p|Rattata}}.

He is first seen in {{adv|Gold}}'s garden, on the way to [[Professor Elm|Elm]]'s lab to deliver several [[Pokémon]] to the professor for examination. However, his backpack was stolen by a wild {{p|Murkrow}} along with Gold's radio antenna, causing Gold's radio to lose broadcast. After noticing that something is wrong with radio, Gold spots Joey in the garden and mistakes him for the thief. The Youngster explains that the real thief is Murkrow. Gold decides to retrieve stolen objects. He succeeds, catches the Murkrow and the boys become friends.

After the incident with {{p|Murkrow}}, Gold and Joey travel together for a while. After a trip in [[New Bark Town]], Gold notices [[Pokémon]] from his backpack have been stolen and they go to the laboratory to tell Professor Elm about it. Unluckily, they come to the lab just after {{adv|Silver}} stole the {{p|Totodile}}. After that, Joey uses his computer to montage a picture of Silver for the police. Then, they meet [[Professor Oak]] who is interested by the fact that Silver had a [[Pokédex]]. It turns out that the Oak was the one who ordered him to deliver the Pokémon to Elm. Gold wants to get a Pokédex from Oak, but the professor refuses.

After that, {{adv|Gold}} decides to [[Pokémon training|train]] when a thunderstorm started to rage. Joey's {{p|Rattata}} falls into the river, and Gold goes to rescue it. After Joey tells this to [[Professor Oak]], the professor decides to give Gold the [[Pokédex]]. After that, Joey decides to return to [[New Bark Town]] to pay [[Professor Elm]] a visit, while Gold decides to search for Silver. The boys go separate ways.

Joey is later seen as a cameo helping [[Professor Elm]].

In [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the manga, he was known as '''Grant'''. However, [[VIZ Media]]'s translations properly identify him as Joey.

==In the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]] manga==
Joey is first seen in the very first chapter of the manga. He is battling [[Gold (Golden Boys)|Gold]]'s {{p|Totodile}} with his {{p|Rattata}}. After the battle, Gold tells Joey how he got his Totodile in a flashback scene. Then, the boys spot an injuried {{p|Pidgey}} lying amidst the grass of {{rt|28|Kanto}}. After Gold helps the Pidgey recover using a [[Berry]], Joey starts to appreciate Gold's kind heart. After that, the boys go separate ways.

Joey is seen again on the Summit in [[Ecruteak City]]. His {{p|Rattata}} has apparently evolved into a {{p|Raticate}}.

== Trivia ==
* A Trainer that appears on the pathway to [[Cerulean Cape|Bill's Cottage]] has the same English name. He also has a {{p|Rattata}}, as well as a {{p|Spearow}}. However, the Japanese name is different.
* On the [[Pokégear]], even after his {{p|Rattata}} has evolved into {{p|Raticate}}, Joey brags about his Rattata, not Raticate.
** This is, however, a common trait that applies to all such Trainers (in games with Pokégear) that can be rematched and have Pokémon that evolve between rematches.

:"Those that can, do. Those that can't, complain."
::—{{wp|Linus Torvalds}}

My account's name comes from [[Mayor Es Cade|the ''Pokémon Colosseum'' character]]. I also [[wp:User:Evice|use this username on Wikipedia]]. (Should be obvious that my Wikipedia user page is more complete and less serious than my user page here.) I typically go by GastonRabbit if I'm not going by Evice.

I am an American born on April 21, 1989, and have been playing Pokémon games since I bought [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]] on its (North American) release. I currently own all main Pokémon games released in North America (in English), in addition to a Japanese copy of [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] and a Japanese copy of [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|SoulSilver]].

Other than the games, pretty much the only other Pokémon media I'm into would be the manga (mostly [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]).

I primarily use {{wp|Mozilla Firefox}} as my Web browser and {{wp|Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu}} as my operating system. ({{wp|Windows Vista}}, my secondary operating system, is on a separate partition; I also use Firefox on it.) I use the US International keyboard layout on both operating systems, which makes typing Pokémon easier due to the layout's diacritic support.

[[Youngster|I also like shorts. (They're comfy and easy to wear.)]]

(Despite the above statement, I'd fit better in the [[Super Nerd]] Trainer class.)

==Pokédex==
This is my Pokédex status for the DS games. I might be too lazy to keep it up-to-date at times.
*Diamond: 493 seen/493 caught
*Pearl: 492 seen/492 caught
*Platinum: 492 seen/492 caught
*HeartGold: 492 seen/492 caught
*SoulSilver (Japanese): 492 seen/492 caught
*SoulSilver (English): 492 seen/492 caught

Last updated July 16, 2010

==Party Pokémon==
These are the Pokémon in my parties in the DS games (I'm only listing genders and levels so I don't have to keep everything else up-to-date).
===Diamond===
*{{p|Infernape}} ♂ Lv. 70
*{{p|Staraptor}} ♀ Lv. 68
*{{p|Machamp}} ♂ Lv. 65
*{{p|Golem}} ♀ Lv. 65
*{{p|Golduck}} ♂ Lv. 65
*{{p|Luxray}} ♀ Lv. Lv. 65

The fact that half my party is male and half is female is a coincidence. My levels should make it clear that I did not <s>waste</s> spend as much time with Diamond as with Platinum.
===Pearl===
*{{p|Torterra}} ♀ Lv. 61
*{{p|Machamp}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Staraptor}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Gastrodon}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Luxray}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Golem}} ♂ Lv. 60

I have no idea why the only female Pokémon I ended up with was the one least likely to be female. Also, I have not played Pearl as much as Diamond and Platinum (especially the latter), hence the lower levels.
===Platinum===
*{{p|Infernape}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Xatu}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Weavile}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Golduck}} ♀ Lv. 100
*{{p|Luxray}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Linoone}} ♀ Lv. 100

Unlike my level 100 teams in Red and Blue, which were the result of abuse of the [[Item duplication glitch]], my Platinum levels are the result of lots and lots of wasted time. I went with the same starter as in Diamond because I already had Piplup and didn't want to start with it.

===HeartGold===
*{{p|Typhlosion}} ♂
*{{p|Pidgeot}} ♀
*{{p|Azumarill}} ♂
*{{p|Steelix}} ♂
*{{p|Espeon}} ♂
*{{p|Umbreon}} ♂

I'm not adding the levels until I've finished the game and completed the Pokédex.

===SoulSilver (Japanese)===
*{{p|Meganium}} ♂ Lv. 74
*{{p|Noctowl}} ♀ Lv. 70
*{{p|Machamp}} ♀ Lv. 70
*{{p|Quagsire}} ♂ Lv. 71
*{{p|Magnezone}} Lv. 70
*{{p|Arbok}} ♂ Lv. 70

All except Machamp and Magnezone have their names displayed in Japanese (those two were evolved on my English-language games)

===SoulSilver (English)===
*{{p|Feraligatr}} ♂
*{{p|Xatu}} ♀
*{{p|Hitmontop}} ♂
*{{p|Sudowoodo}} ♂
*{{p|Weavile}} ♀
*{{p|Smeargle}} ♂

I'm not adding the levels until I've finished the game and completed the Pokédex.

Baoba

2010-07-14T02:43:29Z

footnotes=}}
'''Baoba''' (Japanese: '''バオバ''') is a [[non-player character]] that first appeared in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. At that time, he was the owner and warden of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]] in [[Fuchsia City]] and was known simply as '''Safari Zone Warden'''. (Japanese: '''園長''' ''Park Head''). He also used to be nicknamed '''Warden Slowpoke''', due to his vacant look. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} it was revealed that the warden had built a new [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] west of [[Cianwood City]].

The warden has also appeared in the anime, where he was named '''Kaiser'''.

==In the games==
The warden plays the same role in each of {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. He is first encountered in his house east [[Fuchsia City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]. When spoken with, he can only mumble: the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Gold Teeth|false teeth}} he wears have been lost deep in the Safari Zone. If they are returned to him, he will reward the finder with {{HM|04|Strength}}.

To encourage interest in the Safari Zone, the Warden runs a special promotion. Pokémon Trainers who are able to locate the Secret House at the far end of the Zone within the allotted step limit were given {{HM|03|Surf}}. This Hidden Machine is required to progress to [[Cinnabar Island]].

[[File:SafariWarden.png|thumb|left|The Warden cannot speak without his false teeth.]]
The locals of [[Fuchsia City]] nicknamed him "Warden Slowpoke" because of his vacant look similar to that of a {{p|Slowpoke}}. Despite this, he's actually very knowledgeable about Pokémon. He takes care of all the Pokémon in the Safari Zone and Zoo, and has a large collection of Pokémon [[Fossils]] as well. The warden is good friends with [[Koga]], the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City. Koga will sometimes patrol the Safari Zone as security.

Three years after the initial defeat of Team Rocket, Baoba closes the Safari Zone and goes traveling. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} the Safari Zone simply cannot be accessed; however, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} a [[Pal Park]] is in its place. On his travels, Baoba decides to open a new Safari Zone in Johto; the site he chooses is at the northern end of [[Route 48]]. As part of the games' plot, the player will meet with Baoba on [[Route 39]], who promises to inform the player as soon as the Safari Zone is open for business. He will call, announcing the opening of the Safari Zone, once [[Amphy]] the {{p|Ampharos}} of [[Glitter Lighthouse]] has been healed.

Throughout the remainder of the game, Baoba will issue two challenges to the player: catch a {{p|Geodude}} in the Safari Zone and catch a {{p|Sandshrew}} in the Safari Zone. By completing these challenges, the Safari Zone will gradually become customizable, and the player will be able to arrange the six areas in any way he or she chooses. The amount and variety of Pokémon available will also change. Baoba will always call the player via the [[Pokégear]] to announce that these changes have been activated.

==In the anime==
[[File:Gun.png|right|thumb|200px|The Safari Warden in the anime]]
The Safari Zone warden is known as Kaiser in the {{pkmn|anime}}, because he had no official first name when his episode was made. He appeared in the [[EP035|thirty-fifth episode]]. He found a {{p|Dratini}} in the Safari Zone as a boy, but as a result of media hype surrounding the event the Dratini retreated into a lake and Kaiser resolved to protecting the Safari Zone and the Pokémon that live within it. [[Professor Oak]] states that he knows the warden well.

When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} visit the Safari Zone, Kaiser acts violently because he fears they may harm the Pokémon within. He aims a gun at Ash, which led the episode to be banned worldwide. It has not been aired in any country other than Japan.

==In the manga==
The Safari Zone warden appears in [[PZ06|the sixth chapter]] of ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]''. His role in the manga follows the plot of Red and Blue: the warden loses his teeth in the Safari Zone and the protagonist, {{Zensho|Satoshi}}, retrieves them. While he is searching for the teeth, Satoshi sees a {{p|Slowpoke}}, and is reminded of the warden.

==Trivia==
* It is possible that the missing dentures the player must find is inspired from the [[Creatures, Inc.|Ape Inc.]] RPG ''Mother'', where the player must find the Healers Dentures so people can understand him.

}}
{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver}}
'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters HeartGold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters SoulSilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] {{wp|video game remake|remake}}s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Much like {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting area being [[New Bark Town]]. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Some aspects exclusive to {{v2|Crystal}} are also included. Like FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto, such as [[Starters#Sinnoh|the Sinnoh starters]].

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of {{ga|Ethan|Crystal's player character}}, is not included as the female player character, with a {{ga|Lyra|new character}} instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the [[player character]] or not, this new character will still appear in the game, taking a pseudo-[[rival]] role similar to the unselected characters of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes the Netherlands, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The male [[player character]] receives a redesign and is now called {{ga|Ethan}}, while {{ga|Kris}} is replaced by a new female player character called {{ga|Lyra}}.
* All the game's music is rearranged to better utilize the DS's sound capabilities. A [[GB Sounds|key item]] allows the player to switch back and forth freely between the arranged soundtrack and original chiptune soundtrack.
* Ambient sound effects are used with greater frequency than in previous games; for example, running water, blowing wind and the player walking through grass will produce audible noises.
* The [[Pokégear]] has been redesigned. There are a range of skins that can be used and changed at the player's will.
* Much like Kanto's was for its remakes, Johto's Pokédex has been redesigned. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]] as the originals, [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|the original regional Pokédex]] for Johto has been [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|slightly altered]], including several [[Generation IV]] evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto.
* An image of certain locations, like in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering the location. Some of these images change depending on the time of day while others change the image of the Pokémon obtainable at the location on the image at random.
* [[Team Rocket grunts]] are redesigned once again.
** [[Rocket Executive]]s are also redesigned from Generation II, with four new ones appearing: [[Archer]], [[Arianna]], [[Petrel]], and [[Proton]]. Like [[Team Galactic]]'s [[Commander]]s followed a planetary naming scheme, the Rocket Executives are all named for various real-world rockets.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} each have their own unique battle music, while the [[legendary beasts]] each use differently remixed versions of their battle theme from {{game|Crystal}}.
* [[Kurt]] and [[Apricorn]]s make a return to the series along with their respective [[Poké Ball]]s. Apricorns can now be carried by the player in their own [[bag]] with a new item, the [[Apricorn Case]].
* All former {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}} trees have become [[Apricorn]] trees.
* [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, {{ga|Silver}}, and {{ga|Red}} have animated battle sprites and battle intros, as in {{v2|Platinum}}. Many [[Gym]]s have been redesigned as well, some with new puzzles.
* {{m|Rock Smash}}, previously a TM usable on the field in the originals, is now a full-fledged HM as it has been since [[Generation III]]. {{m|Defog}} loses its HM status to the returning {{m|Whirlpool}}.
* The [[Magnet Train]]'s tracks can be seen overhead on [[Route 32]].
* [[Pal Park]] is located where the closed [[Kanto Safari Zone]] once stood in [[Fuchsia City]].
* The [[RageCandyBar]] is now a [[key item]]. This is likely to prevent the player from trading it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which does not have any item data for it.
* The player can now see how many Kanto badges they have. In the original games, the player could only see how many Johto badges they had.
* [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]], while sharing a theme in Generation II, now feature separate remixed variations of the same theme.
* Some music in Kanto is changed, with [[Mt. Moon]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] changing their music to that which is used by of Johto's [[Union Cave]] and [[Ice Path]], respectively. Music in Cerulean City and Fuchsia City, as well as on [[Route]]s {{rtn|24}} and {{rtn|25}}, rather than taking the theme used in Pewter City, Celadon City, and on {{rt|3}} as they did in the original Generation II games, keep the theme used in Generation I and Generation III. The music used on {{rt|2}}, however, is different from any previous generation; the Generation II theme, a remix of the Viridian Forest theme in Generation I, is used solely in Viridian Forest, while the theme used in Generation I and Generation III is, like in Generation II, only used on {{rt|1}}. Route 2 instead uses the theme that first appears on {{rt|3}}. [[Cinnabar Island]] also gets its own music, a remix of its original theme, instead of using the Saffron City theme.
* The Goldenrod City Radio Tower has an observation deck accessible via elevator. This replaces the second recording room.
* There are wind turbines standing in New Bark Town and on Route 14.
* When viewing the [[stats]] of a Pokémon outside of battle, one of the stat names will be light blue, indicating which stat is decreased by the Pokémon's [[nature]], and one will be light brown, indicating which stat is increased. If the Pokémon has a neutral nature, none of the stats will be colored.

===Location changes===
[[File:HGSS_JohtoKanto.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], the accessible regions in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level, where [[Professor Elm|the professor]] and his family live, his old house being occupied by Lyra/Ethan and her/his family.
* The {{jo|Battle Tower}} west of [[Olivine City]], introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, returns, bringing with it the exact same {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation IV}} seen in Platinum.
* Two new routes, [[Route 47]] and [[Route 48]], are introduced near [[Cianwood City]]. They lead to a new [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], as well as the [[Embedded Tower]].
* [[Mt. Silver]] is much bigger and [[Viridian Forest]] is not cut down.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] remain as they were in Generation III (though [[Blaine]] still takes part of the Seafoam Islands), allowing the [[legendary Pokémon]] that live inside them to be battled. {{p|Moltres}}, formerly found in {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Mt. Ember]], can be found in Mt. Silver.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] takes a role similar to Sinnoh's [[Battleground]], where the rematches between the player and Gym Leaders take place.

===Gameplay changes===
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of [[walking Pokémon|following players]] similar to [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in {{v2|Yellow}}. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] is also retained. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A', and can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball, unless in certain situations, such as while riding the [[bicycle]] or going indoors with a large Pokémon.
* A series of events now precede encountering Ho-Oh{{sup|HG}} or Lugia{{sup|SS}}. In addition to obtaining the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}{{sup|HG}}/{{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}{{sup|SS}}, the player must also possess the [[Clear Bell]]{{sup|HG}}/{{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Tidal Bell}}{{sup|SS}} which can be obtained from the Kimono Girls after receiving the {{DL|Poke Ball|Master Ball}} from [[Professor Elm]]. Either Bell is required in that version for the [[version mascot]] to appear.
* The [[Kimono Girl]]s from the [[Ecruteak City]] Dance Theatre now have a significant role in the game. The player can meet each one at certain points in the [[Johto]] journey, where they will ask the player to do them a small favor. Before meeting the version mascot, they each challenge the player with a battle and once defeated, they proceed to summon Ho-Oh (in HeartGold) and Lugia (in SoulSilver) at the [[Bell Tower]] and [[Whirl Islands]], respectively. In the originals, they were only found in the Dance Theater and were treated as any other trainer to earn {{HM|03|Surf}} from a man in the Theater once all five are defeated. For HG/SS, a Team Rocket member inside the Theater needs to be fought instead to earn the HM.
* Unlike [[Generation II]], new tasks are put in to complete that are now required to progress the story forward, such as obtaining the [[Radio Card]] for the Pokégear to be able to challenge [[Whitney]], and the Kimono Girls and version mascot event must be completed to challenge the Elite Four.
* Similarly to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}}'s effect on Platinum, the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] unlocks an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Shrine]], where the [[Spiky-Eared Pichu]] can be obtained.
* The [[Pokémon storage system]], [[bag]], [[party]] interface, and the screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.
* [[Legendary Pokémon]] from other regions can be caught in the games. {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} appear in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, after Red has been defeated, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in both games if a Groudon from SoulSilver and a Kyogre from HeartGold are shown to Professor Oak. {{p|Latias}} (in HeartGold) or {{p|Latios}} (in SoulSilver) can be found roaming in [[Kanto]] later in the game after speaking to [[Steven Stone]].
** The [[Enigma Stone]] is an [[event item|event key item]] that features a use similar to that of the [[Eon Ticket]]. It can get the other Eon Pokémon depending on the {{player}}'s game version: Latias (in SoulSilver) and Latios (in HeartGold).
* {{m|Headbutt}}ing trees to locate certain Pokémon makes its return. However, this time it can also be used to collect Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] after the [[National Pokédex]] is acquired.
* [[Cynthia]] makes an appearance in an event involving {{p|Arceus}}. This takes place in an area accessed from the [[Ruins of Alph]] that is far to the north, named the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. This event allows players to obtain either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at level 1. The only way to obtain the [[Griseous Orb]] and Origin Forme Giratina in this game is to choose Giratina during this event.
* The {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} can be obtained in the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] by bringing any [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} to show them.
* [[Eusine]], a major character from {{game|Crystal}} who was not in the original Gold and Silver, appears, as do other aspects originally featured in Crystal.
* A new sidequest, the [[Pokéathlon]], features ten mini-games that pit Pokémon in athletic competitions. Its system appears to be analogous to that of {{pkmn|Contests}} from previous games.
* Like the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|GBA Wireless Adapter]] that came with FireRed and LeafGreen, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped {{wp|pedometer}} called the [[Pokéwalker]] that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its [[experience]] and [[happiness]] as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.
* [[Apricorn]]s are now the only items collected from plants on the field. [[Berry|Berries]] are instead collected from [[Juggler]]s in [[Violet City]] and [[Fuchsia City]] in exchange for [[shard]]s, by the player's mother if the player decided to save up their money, through the [[Pokéwalker]]'s Dowsing function, or hidden. Because only a few berries cannot be collected in these games, they must by traded over from other versions, similar to that of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* [[Berries]] can be grown portably using the [[Berry Pots]], where the [[Squirtbottle]] is controlled via the touch screen to water four Berries at a time.
* Using the [[Apriblender]], Apricorns can now also be mixed into drinks that increase Pokémon's Pokéathlon stats.
* The [[Running Shoes]] are obtained in [[Cherrygrove City]] and can be permanently selected using the touchscreen [[menu]]. The selected item (from pressing Y or SELECT in previous games) is also on the touchscreen. Two items can be selected as opposed to just one.
* Due to the absence of the [[Vs. Seeker]], the [[Pokégear]] reintroduces an improved cell phone feature with a limitless call list. However, [[rematch|re-battling]] Trainers is now dependent on the day and time.
* [[Starter Pokémon]] from [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] can be collected from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] once certain conditions are met.
* [[Photography|Commemorative photos]] can now be taken around Johto and Kanto with the player's partner Pokémon, team, [[Gym Leader]]s, and certain notable citizens.
* An {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} unlocks an encounter with former [[Team Rocket]] boss and Viridian Gym Leader [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni was mentioned repeatedly in the original Gold and Silver, but did not appear.
* Many Pokémon have acquired the ability to learn new moves and expand and improve their movesets; for example, {{p|Togepi}} can now learn {{m|Extrasensory}} through breeding.
* The [[GB Sounds]], a key item obtained after all 16 badges have been obtained, allows players to swap the background music for the soundtrack from the original Gold and Silver, redone. New music tracks, such as the music that plays on Routes 47 and 48, also receive an 8-bit remix. However, not every track got an 8-bit remix and some can only be listened through the [[Pokémon Past Archive]] radio station in the Pokégear.
* When using the move {{m|Whirlpool}} outside of battle, instead of the whirlpool disappearing like in [[Generation II]], the player will simply surf over the whirlpools.
* Specific [[individual values]] may be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} depending on the [[EV-enhancing item]] that is held.
* The Trainers that appear in Viridian City's [[Trainer House]] are now influenced by communication through two Pokéwalkers as opposed to the previous method of Mystery Gifting with the Game Boy Color's infrared port due to it being available from the start.
* During the player's initial battle with the rival, he is known as Passerby Boy, unlike in Gold and Silver, where he was identified as ???. Players are still required to name him later.
* The man in Ilex Forest, who previously gave out the TM for {{m|Headbutt}} in Generation II has become a [[move tutor]] for that move. This is due to the fact that Headbutt is no longer a TM. Unlike other move tutors, he does not require anything from the player to tutor the move, and will do it as many times as the player would like.
* Similar to [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]], the [[Legendary beasts]] can be caught from the moment the player reaches Ecruteak City with the exception of {{p|Suicune}} who can only be caught after a series of fixed location encounters, but at {{rt|25}}, instead of at the [[Bell Tower]].
*The map in the [[Pokégear]] has the same function as the {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}} for the Pokétch in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to track [[roaming Pokémon]]. Additionally the player does not need to face {{p|Raikou}} or {{p|Entei}} (as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}) in battle first to be able to track them.
*Trainers in [[Kanto]] will now give out their Pokégear numbers, whereas only Trainers on Routes 26 and 27 would do so in the original games.
*In the original Gold and Silver, the real Janine was in the lower left corner of the Gym, while one of her Gym trainers was in the middle, where the Leader should be. This isn't the case in HeartGold and SoulSilver, where Janine was moved to the middle.
* It is now possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]]. It is also now possible to Fly between Indigo Plateau or the Reception Gate and any location in either Kanto or Johto.

==Pokémon==
As in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the primary Pokémon of the remakes are native to the Johto and Kanto regions. Due to advances in gameplay since the second generation, the regional Pokédex used in Gold and Silver (the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]]) has been updated to include those Pokémon which [[evolution|evolve]] upon learning a new [[move]]. Rather than simply excluding these evolutions (as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} did with [[happiness]]-based evolutions), an improved [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] was established with 256 Pokémon: five more than the New Pokédex.

Similarly to other recently released Pokémon games, Pokémon from outside the regional Pokédex can be captured after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and earning the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Pokémon native to Sinnoh and Hoenn can be found in various methods. [[Mass Outbreak|Swarms]] of Pokémon sometimes break out across the Johto and Kanto regions; oftentimes these are not native to either of the regions. Pokémon from other regions can be located by playing one of two special stations on the [[Pokégear]]'s radio function. There is a channel for Sinnoh Pokémon which plays only on Thursdays; the Hoenn channel only plays on Wednesdays. By having either of these programs turned on when in [[tall grass]] the chance of finding a foreign Pokémon increases. The [[Bug Catching Contest]] also hosts, from time to time, Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokémon. They will only appear on Thursdays and Saturdays. The [[Johto Safari Zone]]'s customization option also allows for the finding of Pokémon from other regions.

In an apparent attempt to remove reliance on [[Generation III]] cartridges, [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto and Hoenn can be obtained late in the game from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] respectively. Some [[legendary Pokémon]] which were not included in the [[Generation II]] games, such as Kanto's [[legendary birds]] and {{p|Mewtwo}}, are also available.

Despite being remakes of Pokémon Gold and Silver, most of the wild Pokémon encounter data is identical to Pokémon Crystal, with the exception of version-exclusive Pokémon and a select few routes.

As in all [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, there are a number of Pokémon which can be found in [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|one of the paired games, but not the other]]. A list of these Pokémon follows below.

==Trivia==
* Like {{game|Platinum}}, these games include the preorder figure. If one preordered HeartGold, they received {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and if they preordered SoulSilver, they received {{p|Lugia}}.
* The Japanese release date was the ninth anniversary of the Japanese release of {{game|Yellow}}, which also features walking Pokémon.
* These games mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for [[Game Boy Color]].
* As remakes, these games have been speculated by fans since the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* The games' engine seems to be based on that of {{game|Platinum}}, with a few changes such as the picture upon entering a cave or tower.
* As {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} were considered sequels to {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver are thus sequels to {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
** Also like FireRed and LeafGreen, HeartGold and SoulSilver implement features introduced in their namesakes' third version (though the only major change from Red and Green to [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]] was the alteration of the [[catch rate]]s of several Pokémon, itself retained since Blue, whereas {{game|Crystal}} featured several notable differences).
* Unlike how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} used completely different Trainer sprites from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, many [[Trainer class]]es shared between regions, like Hikers and Psychics, keep their {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} sprites in battle.
* These games were released in Japan almost exactly one year after the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, being released the day before the anniversary.
* The font used for the English titles of these games are different than the font that has been used since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, while the Japanese logos are still in the same style used since those games. FireRed and LeafGreen also used a different font than the Hoenn games, however, it was still the same color.
** Additionally, the Ho-Oh crest shaped like a heart and Lugia soul are used in the English logos, while the fire and leaf that appear on FireRed and LeafGreen's Japanese logos were not used in the English release.
* These games mark the first time that the English versions were announced before the games themselves came out in Japan.
* Because of [[HM05]]'s conversion from {{m|Defog}} to {{m|Whirlpool}}, these games are the only games in which all available HMs teach damaging moves (both Defog and Flash, contained in HM05, prevented this in previous games).
* These are the first games in which major characters offer their Pokémon for a trade with the player, with [[Gym Leader]]s [[Brock]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Jasmine]] and [[Hoenn]]'s former champion [[Steven Stone]] offering Pokémon of their specialty type in exchange for another.
** These are the first games in which an in-game trade accepts any Pokémon of any gender, with Jasmine accepting such in exchange for her Steelix.
* Unlike how {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s intro was an updated version of the opening from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver have an entirely new intro, using none of the footage from the intro of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. The intro however, uses some music that was in the original and the title screen displays 3D renders of Ho-Oh and Lugia in movement similar to the original title screens.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver include the [[champion]]s from each of the paired versions: {{ga|Blue}} from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, [[Lance]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, [[Steven Stone]] from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and [[Cynthia]] from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* With both HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is possible to obtain all of the [[version mascots]] of the [[main series]] games.
* The credits of HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first to feature [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members and [[villainous teams|villainous team]] members, not just the character biking.
* Most "eyecatches" for the locations feature a Pokémon that is able to be caught in said location.
* There's a minor quirk involving the Poké Mart signs, in which they are sometimes shown to be placed ''on'' the roots of trees, making it appear as if it was built there.
* All original eight [[Gym Leader]]s of Kanto appear in HeartGold and SoulSilver. [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]] are no longer Leaders, instead having other roles in the games.
* The Pokédex entries for the Pokémon that existed in Gold and Silver are carried on over to HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, much as how FireRed used the entries from the Japanese Red and Green while LeafGreen used the entries from Blue.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver had the quickest translation from Japanese to Korean in the entire history of the series. Gold and Silver, their namesakes, took the longest to be translated into the language, taking nearly three years.
**This also makes these games the first in the entire series to be released in South Korea '''before''' it was released in North America.
** Curiously, Gold and Silver were the only Pokémon games before Generation IV to be released in South Korea.
* {{game|Crystal}} had unique battle theme music for the [[legendary beasts|legendary beast]] encounters. The theme was shared between the three Pokémon; three rearranged versions exist—one for every beast—in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first main series games to have the English title in other language titles. The reason for this is unknown.
* {{wp|Postcards from the Wedge|An episode}} of {{wp|The Simpsons}} that aired for the first time on March 14, 2010, the release date of the games in North America, shows {{wp|Bart Simpson|Bart}} watching the [[Pokémon anime]]. He questions how the show has managed to stay so "fresh" over the years.
* In the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, Phanpy and Donphan were exclusive to Gold, and Teddiursa and Ursaring were exclusive to Silver. In international versions of Gold and Silver, this was switched for unknown reasons: Teddiursa and Ursaring could be found in Gold, and Phanpy and Donphan could be found in Silver instead. However, ''all'' versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver have Phanpy/Donphan in HeartGold and Teddiursa/Ursaring in SoulSilver, making this inconsistent with international versions of Gold and Silver.
* In-game dialogue makes reference to popular internet memes, such as Silver saying "''{{wp|Joker (comics)#The Dark Knight|why so serious?}}''" in one of the battles against him, and after winning the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], a contestant saying "''{{wp|Pro Wrestling (Nintendo Entertainment System)#.22A winner is you.22|You won? The winner is you!?}}''"
* HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first Pokémon games to be available domestically in {{pmin|Canada}} in French.

:"Those that can, do. Those that can't, complain."
::—{{wp|Linus Torvalds}}

My account's name comes from [[Mayor Es Cade|the ''Pokémon Colosseum'' character]]. I also [[wp:User:Evice|use this username on Wikipedia]]. (Should be obvious that my Wikipedia user page is more complete and less serious than my user page here.) I typically go by GastonRabbit if I'm not going by Evice.

I am an American born on April 21, 1989, and have been playing Pokémon games since I bought [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]] on its (North American) release. I currently own all main Pokémon games released in North America (in English), in addition to a Japanese copy of [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] and a Japanese copy of [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|SoulSilver]].

Other than the games, pretty much the only other Pokémon media I'm into would be the manga (mostly [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]).

I primarily use {{wp|Mozilla Firefox}} as my Web browser and {{wp|Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu}} as my operating system. ({{wp|Windows Vista}}, my secondary operating system, is on a separate partition; I also use Firefox on it.) I use the US International keyboard layout on both operating systems, which makes typing Pokémon easier due to the layout's diacritic support.

[[Youngster|I also like shorts. (They're comfy and easy to wear.)]]

(Despite the above statement, I'd fit better in the [[Super Nerd]] Trainer class.)

==Pokédex==
This is my Pokédex status for the DS games. I might be too lazy to keep it up-to-date at times.
*Diamond: 493 seen/493 caught
*Pearl: 492 seen/492 caught
*Platinum: 492 seen/492 caught
*HeartGold: I'll get to this when I finish the game.
*SoulSilver (Japanese): 492 seen/492 caught
*SoulSilver (English): I'll get to this when I finish the game.

==Party Pokémon==
These are the Pokémon in my parties in the DS games (I'm only listing genders and levels so I don't have to keep everything else up-to-date).
===Diamond===
*{{p|Infernape}} ♂ Lv. 70
*{{p|Staraptor}} ♀ Lv. 68
*{{p|Machamp}} ♂ Lv. 65
*{{p|Golem}} ♀ Lv. 65
*{{p|Golduck}} ♂ Lv. 65
*{{p|Luxray}} ♀ Lv. Lv. 65

The fact that half my party is male and half is female is a coincidence. My levels should make it clear that I did not <s>waste</s> spend as much time with Diamond as with Platinum.
===Pearl===
*{{p|Torterra}} ♀ Lv. 61
*{{p|Machamp}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Staraptor}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Gastrodon}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Luxray}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Golem}} ♂ Lv. 60

I have no idea why the only female Pokémon I ended up with was the one least likely to be female. Also, I have not played Pearl as much as Diamond and Platinum (especially the latter), hence the lower levels.
===Platinum===
*{{p|Infernape}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Xatu}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Weavile}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Golduck}} ♀ Lv. 100
*{{p|Luxray}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Linoone}} ♀ Lv. 100

Unlike my level 100 teams in Red and Blue, which were the result of abuse of the [[Item duplication glitch]], my Platinum levels are the result of lots and lots of wasted time. I went with the same starter as in Diamond because I already had Piplup and didn't want to start with it.

===HeartGold===
*{{p|Typhlosion}} ♂
*{{p|Pidgeot}} ♀
*{{p|Azumarill}} ♂
*{{p|Steelix}} ♂
*{{p|Espeon}} ♂
*{{p|Umbreon}} ♂

I'm not adding the levels until I've finished the game and completed the Pokédex.

===SoulSilver (Japanese)===
*{{p|Meganium}} ♂ Lv. 74
*{{p|Noctowl}} ♀ Lv. 70
*{{p|Machamp}} ♀ Lv. 70
*{{p|Quagsire}} ♂ Lv. 71
*{{p|Magnezone}} Lv. 70
*{{p|Arbok}} ♂ Lv. 70

All except Machamp and Magnezone have their names displayed in Japanese (those two were evolved on my English-language games)

===SoulSilver (English)===
*{{p|Feraligatr}} ♂
*{{p|Xatu}} ♀
*{{p|Hitmontop}} ♂
*{{p|Sudowoodo}} ♂
*{{p|Weavile}} ♀
*{{p|Smeargle}} ♂

I'm not adding the levels until I've finished the game and completed the Pokédex.

'''Koffing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドガース''' ''Dogars'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Weezing}} starting at [[level]] 35.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Koffing is a round, purple [[Pokémon]] filled to the brim with toxic gases. Several crater-like protrusions on this Pokémon's body give it the resemblance of a naval mine. Koffing has a skull and cross-bones below its blissful face. Koffing has been considered to be related to {{p|Grimer}}, who is also a purple {{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon that associates with pollutants. Koffing may also be related to {{p|Drifloon}}, who is also a floating, round, purple, "X"-bearing Pokémon with a tendency to explode.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Koffing spews out poisonous gases whenever it gets upset. Koffing on the other hand exhales fresh, clean gases whenever it becomes happy or overjoyed. Although Koffing's gas is more commonly attributed as being poisonous, the gases may also cause coughs, sniffles, and teary eyes. Koffing has also been known to explode from over inflating its body. Koffing is also capable of launching {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks.

===Behavior===
If Koffing becomes agitated, it raises the toxicity of its internal gases and then jets them out from all over its body. Koffing is prone to overinflating its round body before it {{M|Selfdestruct|self-destructs}}. The higher the temperature, the more gas Koffing concocts.

Koffing is known to float in the air. This is because its body is filled with a gas that is slightly lighter than air. The gas is a combination of the vapors from fermenting trash and Koffing’s own poisonous fumes.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Koffing are a very common sight around burned down buildings, abandoned buildings and power plants. Volcanoes also provide a suitable habitat for them. It is common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], but seldom encountered in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Koffing mainly eat rotten kitchen garbage.

==In the anime==
[[File:Koffing anime.png|right|thumb|Koffing in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
====[[James's Weezing|James's Koffing]]====
Koffing first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' as [[James]]'s Pokémon. It evolved into {{p|Weezing}} during ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett]]''.

====Other====
[[Rico|A poacher]] had captured a bunch of Koffing in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''.

===Minor Appearances===
A coordinator used a Koffing in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]''.

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} and [[Conway]] battled against a trainer who used a Koffing, alongside his partner who used a {{p|Scyther}}. The Koffing had several powerful attacks like {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and {{m|Gyro Ball}}, but Conway's {{p|Slowking}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]] were able to defeat it.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Koffing is seen as one of [[Koga]]'s Pokémon. When Koga and {{adv|Blue}} are ambushed by [[Agatha]]'s {{p|Gengar}} in {{PAV|7}}, Koga uses Koffing's smoke to relay his tactical plan to Blue without Gengar noticing.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Koffing (TCG)}}
==Other apperances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Koffing will initiate a {{m|Poison Gas}} attack which will pummel an opponent. Koffing did not return in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and was replaced by its evolution, {{p|Weezing}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===

==Trivia==
* Koffing is the mascot of [[Smogon]], [[Dogasu's Backpack]], [[Pokemopolis]], and [[Azure Heights]].
* Koffing and Weezing are the the only pure Poison-type Pokémon immune to {{type2|Ground}} attacks, due to their ability, {{a|Levitate}}.
* Koffing's original English name was going to be "Ny", representing New York City's polluted air.
* Koffing was depicted as having its skull-and-crossbones pattern being ''above'' its face in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], rather than the pattern being ''under'' its face as portrayed in the original versions of {{game|Red and Green|s}} and every game that came after Red and Blue and the Japanese Blue. It is unknown if this was purposely done or if it was a sprite error (similar to the error of {{p|Raikou}}'s sprite in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}).
* According to a question of a Pokémon Exam the characters of the anime participated in, Koffing was supposedly first discovered in a public bathhouse. However, the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion's {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Koffing|58}} card states that Koffing was first discovered in a weapons factory. This may be either because [[Jessie]] answered the question incorrectly, or due to an inconsistency between the TCG and anime.
* Despite Koffing's diet of rotten garbage, it is unable to learn {{m|Gunk Shot}}, which involves spewing garbage at the foe.

===Origin===
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, it may have been based upon a floating {{wp|naval mine}}.
====Name origin====
Koffing's name is a corruption of the word ''coughing''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 獰 ''dō'', meaning bad, or 毒 ''doku'', meaning poisonous, and ''{{wp|gas}}''. Its Japanese name also could come from the Brazilian expression ''droga'', wich means something bad, rotten.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Smogon - Based on the loanword ''{{wp|Smog}}'', which has the same meaning in German.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Smogo - Based on the English word ''{{wp|smog}}''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 또가스 ''Ttogaseu''

Firebreather (Trainer class)

2010-03-11T19:42:31Z

Evice:

A '''Firebreather''' (Japanese: '''ひふきやろう''' ''Fire-breathing Guy'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. In [[Generation II]] they were generally depicted as fat clowns spewing out flames, while {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} redesigned them as fat fire-breathing men wearing clothing designed after {{p|Magmar}}.

They specialize in {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. They may, however, use {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon as well.

A '''Firebreather''' (Japanese: '''ひふきやろう''' ''Fire-breathing Guy'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. They are generally depicted as fat clowns spewing out flames in [[Generation II]], and as fat fire-breathing men wearing clothing designed after {{p|Magmar}}, in [[Generation IV]].

They specialize in {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. They may, however, use {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon as well.

Generation IV

2010-02-14T21:32:56Z

The '''fourth generation''' of Pokémon games, sometimes called the '''3D generation''' by fans due to the fact that it contains the first [[main series]] (i.e. non-spinoff) games to use 3D graphics, is the fourth set of Pokémon games released.

Like [[Generation II]] followed from [[Generation I]], Generation IV follows from [[Generation III]], although it is unlike Generation II in that it is not a direct sequel ([[Hoenn]] is inaccessible in all Generation IV games). Like previous generations, Generation IV focuses on one main region across three games, the [[Sinnoh]] region featured in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} on the [[Nintendo DS]], released in 2006 and 2008 (and 2007 and 2009 outside Japan). Also like Generation II, the Generation IV games retain much compatibility with their Generation III counterparts, though in a different manner, and introduce many new Pokémon which are related to those of the previous three generations.

Much like Generation III remade the Generation I games, the Generation II games also receive [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remake speculation|much anticipated]] remakes in the form of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and through details revealed in the five main games, Generation IV is thus known to be contemporaneous with Generation II, occurring three years after Generation I and Generation III. Like all generations, the handheld games are joined by several games on Nintendo's latest console, the [[Wii]], specifically, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[My Pokémon Ranch]].

==Advances in gameplay==
Much like how Generation II enhanced Generation I mostly by building on its features, Generation IV builds on the features introduced in Generation III. The advancements introduced in Generation IV include:
*The addition of {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 493. New evolutions and pre-evolutions abound in this generation, including ones for long-time favorites such as {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Eevee}}.
*The addition of 113 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 467.
*The addition of 47 new [[Ability|abilities]] (and removal of the unused {{a|Cacophony}}), bringing the total to 123. Many older Pokémon can now have one of two abilities, rather than the single ability they could have in Generation III.
*Four more boxes in the [[Pokémon storage system]], bringing the total to 18, for a total of 540 Pokémon.
*Another new region to explore, [[Sinnoh]], yet again with its own [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]]. Player characters are again changed.
*Four new variants of [[Poké Ball]], retaining the seven introduced in Generation III.
*A new [[villainous team]], [[Team Galactic]], whose intent is to capture {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, said to be the creators of the [[Pokémon universe]], and remake it in the image of their leader, [[Cyrus]].
*The return of the [[time]] system from Generation II, with enhanced transitions between the time periods of the day.
*A three-dimensional rendering of the overworld, rather than just sprites, with the same style seen in previous games.
*Moves are now designated [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] based on the move itself, rather than its type.
*Pokémon are now able to be traded and battled over the internet through the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

Alterations from Generation III include:
*[[Pokémon Super Contest|New and enhanced]] versions of [[Pokémon Contest]]s, featuring more rounds and a different appeals process. [[Poffin]] are now used to enhance contest stats, rather than [[Pokéblocks]].
*[[Secret base]]s have been moved [[The Underground|underground]], where players can interact over local wireless connections.
*Some Pokémon now display [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|differences in appearance]] based on their [[gender]].

Further additions in Platinum include:
*Another new {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, with several different facilities than the one in [[Hoenn]].
*Ability to record and share battles with other players and in the Battle Frontier over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
*Sinnoh Pokédex is expanded, making the total of 210 Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex.

Further additions in HeartGold and SoulSilver include:
*The re-introduction of the seven Poké Balls made from [[Apricorn]]s, unavailable since [[Generation II]].
*The first Pokémon in the [[party]] can now [[walking Pokémon|follow the player outside of battle]] almost anywhere in the overworld.
*Instead of contests, the [[Pokéthlon]] games are added.

==Regions==
===Sinnoh===
[[File:Sinnohplatinum.jpg|thumb|right|Sinnoh]]
{{main|Sinnoh}}
Like Generation III, Generation IV introduces a new region disconnected from all previous ones, the [[Sinnoh]] region, found far north of [[Kanto]]. Being that it is so far north, snow can be found on its northern tip, as well as in the mountainous center of the region. Much of the western half of the region is rural, while its east is comparatively urban, in a similarity to the continental area shared by Johto and Kanto, respectively.

====Starter Pokémon====
Though it was initially rumored that the {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}} setup that had been the norm for the past three generations would be replaced with a {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} trio, these rumors were later proven false. At the beginning of the journey, players must choose from the Grass-type {{p|Turtwig}}, the Fire-type {{p|Chimchar}}, and the Water-type {{p|Piplup}} to defend themselves from a wild {{p|Starly}} in Diamond and Pearl, or be given one of the three by [[Professor Rowan]] directly in Platinum.

====Gym Leaders====
Like the other three regions, Sinnoh has its own set of eight Gym Leaders. This set specializes in the same types as Gym Leaders from other regions, though not in the same order. Like always, badges and TMs are given away by defeated Gym Leaders.

===Johto===
[[File:JohtoMap.png|thumb|right|Johto]]
{{main|Johto}}
Much like [[Generation I]]'s version of Kanto was featured a second time in [[Generation III]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} cause [[Johto]] to be featured a second time in Generation IV.

====Starter Pokémon====
Much as Kanto's Generation III starters were the same as in Generation I, Johto's starters have not changed. [[Professor Elm]] offers {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to the player as protection on an errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house on {{rt|30}}.

====Gym Leaders====
As would be expected, Johto's Gym Leaders are the same as before, but many give out different TMs than they gave out in Generation II.

===Kanto===
[[File:Kanto FRLG Harada map.jpg|thumb|right|Kanto as seen in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
{{main|Kanto}}
In its fourth appearance, Kanto returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver much in the same way as it did in Generation II (as a post-League area).

====Gym Leaders====
Kanto's Gym Leaders are the same as in the original Gold and Silver, changing slightly from the group who were there in Generation I and Generation III. All Kanto Gym Leaders give TMs, unlike in Generation II.

==Other Generation IV games==
[[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] features a [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]-like arena for battle, allowing Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver to link to it through wireless communications between the Nintendo DS and Wii, much like previous generations' games would link to {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Stadium]], and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}. Battle Revolution also features online battles with players around the world via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

[[My Pokémon Ranch]] lets players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} deposit their Pokémon, via wireless communication, to a ranch owned by [[Hayley]], who will also bring Pokémon to the ranch. Players can interact with up to 1,000 of their deposited Pokémon. An update for this game enables support for {{v2|Platinum}}, as well as allowing storage for 500 more Pokémon, however, it has not yet been released to players outside Japan. It is unknown if another update will be released for HeartGold and SoulSilver.

==Trivia==
*Every [[player character]] in all Generation IV games has a [[Wii]] in his/her room, referencing its status as the current Nintendo console during the generation. This is in contrast with [[Generation III]], in which player characters in Hoenn had a [[Nintendo GameCube]], while player characters in Kanto had a [[NES]].
*Generation IV's framerate is downgraded from Generation III: whereas Generation III games ran at 60 frames per second, Generation IV games run at only 30, like Generation I and II do. This is likely to prevent slowdown or crashing due to the 3D models.
*Due to the Generation II remakes, and the inclusion of Kanto in them, Generation IV has the largest number of accessible regions (in the handheld games) of all; [[Generation I]] had only one (Kanto), [[Generation II]] had two (Kanto and Johto), [[Generation III]] had two (Kanto and Hoenn), whereas Generation IV has three (Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh).
**Because Hoenn was not included in Generation IV, its Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Frontier Brains lack the now standard animated battle sprites and close-up headshots. [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], the only important Trainers from another region who are not in Generation IV, also miss out.
* The Japanese font, including its rendering, that is used in the dialogues of the international versions is different from the Japanese versions. This doesn't happen in Generation III, where international versions use the same Japanese font and rendering.

'''Farfetch'd''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カモネギ''' ''Kamonegi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Farfetch'd resemble ducks. They have glossy brown plumage with a small crest. It also bears black plumage on its forehead that resembles eyebrows.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Its wings are a bit more versatile than most birds' as their feathers can be used as "fingers," allowing it to carry a leek, or spring onion. The leeks they carry can be used as a weapon, allowing them to use moves like {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Poison Jab}}, {{m|Fury Cutter}}, and {{m|Leaf Blade}}.

===Behavior===
Farfetch'd are always seen carrying a leek stalk, or spring onion. They carry it in their wings, sometimes choosing to hold it in their beaks instead and holding it in their feet when flying. Farfetch'd cannot live without its stick for unknown reasons, and will defend their stick with their life. The stick is also known to be used as nesting material and as a weapon. In case of an emergency situation where the Farfetch'd is starving, it will eat its own stick and hurry off to find a new one.

They are known to be picky in the kinds of sticks they accept. Farfetch'd have been known to fight each other over one 'good' stalk.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Farfetch'd are found in grasslands, but it always has to be near water. Farfetch'd are also very good swimmers and are often found swimming in ponds.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Farfetch'd are an omnivorous species and will usually eat weeds and water plants.

==In the anime==

It was also showcased in ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'' where [[Team Rocket]] planned to eat it, an aspect of [[Pokémon world]] rarely touched on in the anime.

===Minor Appearances===

==Trivia==
* In numerical order, Farfetch'd is the first Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that does not have an [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution family]], and has always been. It is also one of several remaining {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, excluding legendaries, that does not evolve into or from something in later generations, along with {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Ditto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
* Farfetch'd can learn {{m|Fury Cutter}} by level up in [[Generation III]], but it is incompatible with the Generation III [[move tutor]] that teaches the same move. It can, however, learn it through a move tutor in {{v2|Platinum}}.
* Farfetch'd is one of the few Pokémon to continuously carry something they pick up or find. Others include {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Marowak}} and {{p|Spoink}}.
* Farfetch'd is the only Pokémon with an apostrophe in its name.
** Farfetch'd is also one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
* Farfetch'd is so far the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 352.
* According to the anime, Farfetch'd are rare because of over-hunting them for food. Counting {{p|Miltank}}'s [[MooMoo Milk|milk]] and {{p|Tropius}}'s fruit, Farfetch'd is one of the few Pokémon confirmed to be used in some way for food.
* Farfetch'd is the only fully-evolved Flying-type Pokémon based on a bird that cannot learn {{m|Sky Attack}}.

===Origin===
Farfetch'd's origin might come from legends of a duck that carries a leek coming to lost and starving travelers in forests, offering itself to be eaten.

====Name origin====
Farfetch'd's name comes from the word ''farfetched'', which means unbelievable. It could also refer to the game of {{wp|fetch}}, which animals play using sticks. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鴨 ''kamo'', {{wp|Mallard|wild duck}}, and 葱 ''negi'', {{wp|spring onion}}. Additionally, 鴨葱 ''kamonegi'' is an abbreviation of 鴨が葱をしょって来る, a duck comes bearing spring onions.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Porenta - A combination of ''Porree'' (leek) and ''Ente'' (duck).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Canarticho - From ''canard'' (duck) and ''artichau'' (artichoke), a reference to the vegetable in its hand.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파오리 ''Paori'' - From "파" (pa, onion/scallion) and "오리" (ori, duck).
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 火蔥鴨 - 火蔥, {{wp|Shallot}}, and 蔥 is the Chinese version of 葱.

'''Unown''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アンノーン''' ''Unknown'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. However, as of [[Generation IV]], Unown has 28 derivative shapes. There are 26 English alphabet characters, plus two punctuation marks: ''?'' (question mark) and ''!'' (exclamation mark). That shape is determined by its [[personality value]].

==Biology==
They tend to stick to walls or orbit other Unown when in a group.

===Physiology===
Unown are floating, flat, eye-shaped Pokémon with appendages that make them resemble letters. They are black all over.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is genderless.

====Different forms====
Unown has 28 different forms, one for each letter of the alphabet, as well as '!' and '?'. These are chronicled in the [[Unown Dex]] in Generation II and the [[Unown Notebook]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
The '!' and '?' forms were not introduced until [[Generation III]].

===Special abilities===
Unown's only known move in battle is the enigmatic {{m|Hidden Power}}. In the anime, they are capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms (which isn't a unique ability in itself). However, great numbers of them are capable of warping reality to suit the dreams and wishes of whoever is in control.

===Behavior===
Unown can make telepathic contact with humans (and many other creatures also). Unown have a timidness that rarely makes them venture outside of their dimension.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Unown live in [[Alternate dimension|their own dimension]].

When they move to the Pokémon World, Unown seem to prefer to make their habitat in ancient ruins stuck to the walls, appearing only in the [[Ruins of Alph]] in [[Johto]], [[Tanoby Chambers]] in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unown Relic]] and [[Aegis Cave]] in the [[Pokémon World (Mystery Dungeon)|Mystery Dungeon world]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Unown anime.png|right|210px|thumb|Unown in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Spell of the Unown]]====
Unown play a large role in the third movie, creating the illusions which drive the plot.

Notes about Unown can be seen on [[Professor Oak]]'s computer at the beginning of the movie. The information (as presented in the Japanese version) has been cleaned up and transcribed here:
* Because of their very timid and careful character, Unown do not want to go out to the external world.
* Unown have the power to perceive the feelings of other creatures (including human beings).
* Unown communicate with each other over electromagnetic waves but cannot use telepathy.
* Given all this, Unown are still classified as a species of Pokémon, as opposed to any other sort of creature.

====Other====
An Unown fell out of the Unown dimension in ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]''. After it was healed by the group, it helped defend against Team Rocket and its mind merged with that of [[Ash's Larvitar]] so that the group could help it to address its inner pain.

[[Image:Tablet DP060.png|thumb|right|200px|The tablet]]
Markings of Unown were on a tablet in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''. Many Unown appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', also the same tablet from last appearence is shown.

The tablet is written (in Roomaji):
 ''FRIEND''
 ''SUBETE NO INOCHI HA''
 ''BETSU NO INOCHI TO DEAI''
 ''NANIKA WO UMIDASU''
 (In the dub, Dawn reads it as ''"When every life meets another life, something will be born"'').

===Minor appearances===
Multiple Unown also made a brief appearance in the ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' fleeing from Dialga and Palkia in a different dimension.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP263|Unown|Ash's Pokédex|Unown, the Symbol Pokémon. Unown are said to have existed since [[History of the Pokémon world|ancient times]]. There are many in [[Form differences|form]] and shape but little is known about this mysterious Pokémon.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Unown first appeared in {{PAV|8}} when {{adv|Gold}} and [[Bugsy]] were in the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Gold had his {{p|Sunkern}} use {{m|Flash}} to blind [[Team Rocket]], but accidentally disturbed the Unown from their slumber with the light from Flash. Bugsy later returns to study the Ruins further in {{PAV|11}}, where he captures an Unown (G).

Unown later appear in {{PAV|24}}, having been awakened by [[Sird]] from the [[Tanoby Ruins]] to use as a distraction while she fought [[Lorelei]]. The Unown later appear again throughout the volume, being employed by Team Rocket as living security cameras while impeding the progress of {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}.

It also appeared in DP saga when {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} were visiting Solaceon Town. Diamond and Pearl befriended two Unown (D and P) who behaved like them.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When one Unown is released from a Poké Ball it will fly off the screen. It then returns with a large swarm similar to what {{p|Beedrill}} did in the original [[Super Smash Bros.]] The only difference is that Beedrill only attack from left or right while Unown can come from any direction. Any opponent caught in this is damaged and juggled.

There are also a number of Unown Pokéfloats. In the second half of the cycle, a number fly across the screen. Towards the end of the cycle, staying on the stage relies on hopping between the Unown.

====Trophy Information====
These Psychic-type symbol Pokémon resemble ancient hieroglyphics found on rocks, a resemblance that's said to be more than superficial. Quite a few different shapes of Unown have been confirmed, and it's believed that each type has unique abilities. These enigmatic Pokémon can be found in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:Unreleased Unown.jpg|thumb|right|Unreleased Unown]]
*In ''[[Spell of the Unown]]'', [[Professor Oak]] had some pictures of {{pkmn2|unreleased}} Unown on his computer. They resemble a few {{wp|Greek alphabet}} letters, especially σ (lowercase sigma), Σ (capital sigma), Π (pi) and Ω (omega). However, lowercase letters have never been made into Unown before, so this may be an error or a misinterpretation by fans. The top-middle Unown may be also a variation of an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, the {{wp|Eye of Horus}}, or the Russian letter Я (ya). This may lead to the conclusion that there are more forms of Unown, being the prototypes of other known (or unknown) alphabets.
*Unown apparently generate a radio signal where they are found in large numbers, which can be listened to by any Trainer with a [[PokéGear]].
*In [[Spell of the Unown|the third movie]], [[Molly Hale]] owned a book that had Unown on the cover of it.
*It is the first non-legendary to be in a central role in a Pokémon movie.
*Unown, {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, and {{p|Ditto}} are the only non-legendary, non-baby Pokémon that cannot breed with Ditto.
*Despite being in the book of legendary Pokémon, Unown is not considered a legendary Pokémon.
*The two punctuation Unown have half-closed eyes; all alphabetic Unown have fully open eyes.
*If a player does not have Unown's Pokédex data on a [[Generation II]] game when in Oak's lab in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Unown's Pokédex number is listed as {{p|Treecko|252}} instead of 201. This happens regardless of which Pokédex display mode is selected.
*It has the smallest movepool of all Pokémon, learning only one move, {{m|Hidden Power}}, and being unable to learn any other moves through [[TM|TMs]], [[HM|HMs]], and [[Pokémon breeding]] (as it cannot breed). It shares this distinction with {{p|Ditto}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}, however they can potentially expand their movepools through the use of {{m|Transform}} and {{m|Sketch}} respectively.

===Origin===
Their appearances are corruptions of the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. The shapes of the Unown are used like runes in the Pokémon world, although in [[Generation III]] their place has been taken by {{wp|Braille}}.
====Name origin====
Unown's name is a corruption of the word ''unknown''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Icognito - From ''Inkognito'' (incognito); similar to the English corruption of "unknown".
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Zarbi - From the word ''bizarre'' in {{wp|verlan}}, a youth language.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 안농 ''Annong''
*Norwegian: Ukjent - ''Unknown'', only in episode 264 - Address Unown, where it was mistakenly translated.
*Swedish: Okänd - ''Unknown'', only in episode 264 - Address Unown, where it was mistakenly translated. Also of note was that they always referred to the Unown with very bad grammar, for example: "the place where Unknown comes from".

Scientist (Trainer class)

2010-01-02T01:15:03Z

Evice:

A '''Scientist''' (Japanese: '''はぐれけんきゅういん''' ''Researcher Gone Astray'' in Generations I and II and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]], '''けんきゅういん''' ''Researcher'' in Generation III and [[DPPt]]) is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are men in [[wp:White coat|lab coats]] and glasses, with the ones in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} as well as {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} holding {{wp|beaker (glassware)|beakers}} as well. They are often (but not always) aligned with [[Team Rocket]], as shown in Generations I, {{gen|II}}, {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, and with [[Team Galactic]], as shown in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

They generally use inorganic or artificial Pokémon such as {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Muk}}, and {{p|Voltorb}}.

In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Scientists are known as '''Lab Men'''. In the English version of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Scientists are known as '''Researchers''', while Scientists working for [[Cipher]] are called '''Cipher R&D''' in XD.

A '''Scientist''' (Japanese: '''はぐれけんきゅういん''' ''Researcher Gone Astray'' in Generations I and II and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]], '''けんきゅういん''' ''Researcher'' in Generation III and [[DPPt]]) is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are men in [[wp:White coat|lab coats]] and glasses, with the ones in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} as well as {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} holding {{wp|beaker|beakers}} as well. They are often (but not always) aligned with [[Team Rocket]], as shown in Generations I, {{gen|II}}, {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, and with [[Team Galactic]], as shown in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

They generally use inorganic or artificial Pokémon such as {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Muk}}, and {{p|Voltorb}}.

In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Scientists are known as '''Lab Men'''. In the English version of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Scientists are known as '''Researchers''', while Scientists working for [[Cipher]] are called '''Cipher R&D''' in XD.

Pokémon Island

[[Image:PokemonIsland.jpg|thumb|Pokémon Island]]
'''Pokémon Island''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンアイランド''' ''Pokémon Island'') is a little-known island probably located in the general vicinity of [[Kanto]], although the exact whereabouts are unknown.

Pokémon Island is home to many different species of wild [[Pokémon]]. Completely isolated, it's an ideal environment to observe how wild Pokémon act naturally. Though it shows signs of being previously inhabited by humans, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are not currently allowed on the island because catching the local Pokémon would upset the island's natural balance.

Pokémon Island has several different habitats ideal for all types of Pokémon. Several rare species of Pokémon, including the [[Legendary Birds]] and {{p|Mew}}, have been seen on or around the island.

In [[Pokémon Snap]], [[Professor Oak]] hires [[Todd Snap]] to take photographs of all the Pokémon on the island. Todd does such using the [[ZERO-ONE]], a camera, and several other gadgets.

== Areas of Pokémon Island ==
* [[Pokémon Island Beach|Beach]] - An easy path along a sunny beach. Home to twelve species of Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Island Tunnel|Tunnel]] - A dark tunnel with an abandoned power plant inside. Home to twelve species of Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Island Volcano|Volcano]] - A path through a volcanic area. Home to ten species of Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Island River|River]] - A calm river through a forest. Home to twelve species of Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave]] - A deep, dark cave. Home to thirteen species of Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Island Valley|Valley]] - A canyon valley with a rapid river running through it. Home to thirteen species of Pokémon.
* [[Rainbow Cloud]] - A secret area high above Pokémon Island. {{p|Mew}} is the only Pokémon found here.

[[Image:Kanto_Anime.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Anime-based map of the Kanto region]]
The '''Kanto''' region (Japanese: '''カントー地方''' ''Kantō-chihō'') is a large area located east of [[Johto]], north of [[Hoenn]], and south of [[Sinnoh]]. It is the first region to be introduced, explored in the [[Generation I]] games and in the [[Generation III]] games [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]]. Kanto is also accessible in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and their [[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]] after the quest in Johto is completed.

Most of the names of the cities in Kanto are the names of colors (Viridian, Lavender, Indigo Plateau, etc.). [[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon professor]] and gives [[Pokémon Trainer]]s a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[starter Pokémon]], though in Yellow the only choice is a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] that he recently caught. In the games, the player begins his or her journey in [[Pallet Town]] and ends it at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

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

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

==Indigo League==
{{main|Indigo League}}

==In Generations I and III==
Between Generation I and Generation III, Kanto is very much the same with some alterations in respect to the improved graphics and gameplay in the remakes. Additionally in FireRed and LeafGreen, the first three in a chain of islands known as the [[Sevii Islands]], located east and southeast of Kanto, are unlocked once Blaine is defeated on Cinnabar Island. [[Champion]]ing the [[Elite Four]] and getting the [[National Pokédex]] unlocks the other islands which make up this archipelago.

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

* The Safari Zone is closed (becomes [[Pal Park]] in Generation IV)
* Cerulean Cave has collapsed (untrue in Generation IV)
* Cinnabar Island has been destroyed by an eruption of the volcano, and its gym was temporarily relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
* Viridian Forest has been cut down (untrue in Generation IV) and Mt. Moon has decreased in size due to rock slides.
* The Power Plant has become functional.
* The Pokémon Tower has become a radio tower.
* Blue has remodeled Giovanni's former gym and functions as the Gym Leader.
* Janine has taken over Fuchsia Gym, seeing as her father Koga has been promoted to the [[Elite Four]].
* The Pewter City Museum is closed for renovations (untrue in Generation IV).

==Culture==
===Connection to Japan===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world}}

Regardless of their proximity, the people of Johto and those of Kanto are set apart by many cultural differences. Kanto is based on the real {{wp|Kanto region}} in Japan. Compared to the traditional {{wp|Kansai region}} (where Johto is based), Kanto is modern and technological, which is reflected in the look of the cities and the buildings like the Pokémon Lab of Cinnabar Island, or the Power Plant. Also this fact is reflected in Kanto being the only Pokémon region without any legends, myths or traditions (an example of that is Mewtwo, the Legendary Pokémon of Kanto, which is a product of the science, contrasting the Bird Duo of Johto, the Weather Trio of Hoenn, or the Dragon Trio of Sinnoh), or in Porygon, which was created in the Pokémon Lab (adding the fact that the player receives the item Up-Grade in Silph Co.). The soil of the Kansai region is volcanic, referencing the in-game Kanto region's inability to maintain a [[berry]] crop in [[Generation II]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]]. People from Kanto are considered to be sophisticated, reserved and formal. Kansai and Kantō, however different, are the two most important areas of Honshū, the largest island in Japan, and, much like Johto and Kanto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The cultural divide is most noticeable in the games, as the player talks to and learns about the denizens of both regions.

Tokyo, based in the commercial Celadon City and the financial Saffron City, is the most important commercial and economic center of Japan. Yokohama, based in Vermillion City, is the main and largest seaport of Japan.

==Trivia==
*Kanto's name was never revealed in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} outside of Japan, causing many fans to think the region was called Indigo (because of the [[Indigo Plateau]]). It was mentioned only once in the Japanese versions upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at the rival's house. The first mention of its name outside of Japanese context was in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. Despite this, its name is mentioned multiple times in the [[Generation III]] remakes, including but not limited to viewing the Town Map at the beginning of the games.
*Kanto is the only main [[region]] which has been featured in two separate anime [[series]], once at the start of {{Ash}}'s journey (in the [[original series]]), and once after Ash returned from Hoenn (in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}). It is also the only in-game region that has not had continuous time spent in it for more than one [[dub]] [[season]].
**Until Platinum's release, after Ash defeated [[Maylene]] and [[Crasher Wake]] (not to mention just before Ash challenges [[Fantina]]), it was also the only region in the anime where Ash defeated the Gym Leaders in a different order from the games.
*Kanto is mentioned during the event in which players capture {{p|Shaymin}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. [[Professor Oak]] states that somewhere in the Kanto region there is a white rock similar to the one at the north end of {{rt|224}} in Sinnoh, although no such rock has appeared in past games taking place in Kanto. Despite the fact that Kanto appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, no white rock appears at all.
*If the Sevii Islands were considered part of Kanto, then Kanto would be the largest region in the games.
*Kanto is the only region that is accessible in every generation (albeit not in every game in every generation): {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}} and {{v2|Yellow}} in [[Generation I]], {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver|s}} and {{v2|Crystal}} in [[Generation II]], {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} in [[Generation III]], and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in [[Generation IV]].
*Kanto is the only region that shares its name with the {{wp|List of regions of Japan|region of Japan}} it is based on.
*In its Generation I and III appearances (i.e. the games in which it is the primary region), Kanto is the only region where the {{player}} doesn't need {{m|Waterfall}} to get to the [[Elite Four]]. Pokémon Trainers from Johto, however, ''do'' need Waterfall.
**It is the only region where the League is west of all of the Gyms. This does consider Johto, whose Gyms are all west of the Indigo Plateau.
*Kanto is the only region in the main series in which all the cities have Gyms, and none of the towns do.
*Kanto is the only region that does not have a Battle Frontier in the handheld games.
**However, it has {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III|one}} in the anime.
*Kanto has had the most Gym Leaders of all the regions, with a total of 10. However, there are only eight present at one time.
*Kanto and Johto are the only regions that are connected to each other by land, and are likewise the only regions to add additional routes in their second appearances.

'''Cinnabar Island''' (Japanese: alternatively '''グレンタウン''' ''Guren Town'' and '''グレンじま''' ''Guren Island'') is a large island located off the southern coast of the [[Kanto]] region, south of [[Pallet Town]]. It is home to a large volcano. [[Blaine]] is the resident [[Gym Leader]], specializing in {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]]. {{wp|Cinnabar}} is a kind of red mineral, associated with hot springs and volcanoes. There are no land paths to the island. Instead {{rt|20}} in the east and {{rt|21}} in the north are both [[water route|waterways]] through the ocean.

The [[Generation I]] games reveal Cinnabar Island to be a technological mecca. The journals scattered about the abandoned {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} suggest that {{p|Mewtwo}} was cloned here. The scientists at the [[Pokémon Lab]] have the ability to resurrect [[Pokémon]] from their [[fossil]]s. In [[Generation II]], three years after the events of [[Generation I]], a volcano erupted on the island, destroying everything, except for the [[Pokémon Center]].

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon Mansion===
{{main|Pokémon Mansion (Kanto)|Pokémon Mansion}}

The Pokémon Mansion is a decrepit, burned-down mansion on Cinnabar Island. It got its name because a famous Pokémon Researcher once lived there. The Pokémon Mansion has four different floors. Doors can be unlocked in the Mansion by pressing switches hidden in {{p|Mewtwo}} statues. To access the Cinnabar Island [[Gym]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], the main character has to enter the mansion and find the {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Secret Key}} to unlock the door of the Gym. Many burglars come to the mansion, trying to steal valuable items that may have been lost in the wreckage, challenging the player to a battle when spotted. Amongst the rubble and wreckage is information that the scientists who once worked there obtained a {{p|Mew}} and impregnated it with the genetically altered {{p|Mewtwo}}, who destroyed the mansion in its escape.

===Pokémon Lab===
{{main|Pokémon Lab}}

The Pokémon Lab is a laboratory located on Cinnabar Island. It was founded by [[Dr. Fuji]] and appears in the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]]. The first room of the Pokémon Lab has two people who will offer to [[trade]] Pokémon. The old man will offer his {{p|Electrode}} for a {{p|Raichu}}, and the girl will want to trade her {{p|Tangela}} for a {{p|Venonat}}. In the second room, there is [[move tutor|a man]] who will teach {{m|Metronome}} once to one of the {{player}}'s Pokémon; in Generation I, he gives away {{TM|35|Metronome}}. In the third room, there is a scientist who will revive the [[fossil]]s the player obtained at [[Mt. Moon]] and from the [[Pewter City]] Museum and a person who will trade his {{p|Seel}} for a {{p|Ponyta}}. In [[Silph Co.]], there is a Pokémon Report stating that Pokémon Lab created {{p|Porygon}}.

===Volcano===
There is a volcano on Cinnabar Island which gives it its name. Strangely enough, the volcano that appears on Cinnabar Island cannot be accessed to, or has never been seen or mentioned on the island, in [[Generation I]] and in [[Generation III]]. But in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the volcano is a prominent feature of the island, and is where the Cinnabar Gym is located and split into two sections; one is inside of the volcano, and has an arena suspended over the lava inside one of the chambers, the other arena is in the top crater of the volcano itself. In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, three years after the events of [[Generation I]], the Volcano erupted on the island destroying everything, except for the [[Pokémon Center]] which still stands. What appeared to be a rain-filled crater could also be seen in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the exterior of the volcano can be scaled with {{m|Rock Climb}}.

==Cinnabar Gym==
{{main|Cinnabar Gym}}

[[Image:Cinnabar Gym FRLG.png|thumb|Cinnabar Gym in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
The Cinnabar Gym is the official [[gym]] of Cinnabar Island. It is based on {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Blaine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{DL|Badge|Indigo League|Volcano Badge}}. The player is unable to enter the gym at once, only when they obtain the {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Secret Key}} from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} can they unlock the door to the gym. The Cinnabar Gym is a high-tech affair featuring a series of sealed doors. Trivia questions about various Pokémon must be answered to unseal the doors. However, when the player fails to answer a trivia question correctly, a battle with either a Burglar or Super Nerd results, an alternative to unsealing the doors. In Generations II and IV, Blaine's original gym on Cinnabar Island was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. This forced him to relocate to a cave on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cinnabar Island volcano.JPG|thumb|left|The opening to the volcano on Cinnabar Island in the anime.]]
Cinnabar Island is considered a mere beach resort in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s skip the island entirely or go there for a break from {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. [[Blaine]] runs a hotel for tourists and wears a hippie disguise to hide his real identity as [[Gym Leader]]. His [[Gym]] is located inside of the volcano. Aside from inside of the Pokémon Mansion, wild Pokémon also appear in the ocean around the island.

The Cinnabar Gym has two sections in the {{pkmn|anime}}; one is inside of the volcano, and has an arena suspended over the lava inside one of the chambers. The other arena is in the top crater of the volcano itself.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', {{Ash}} was trying to locate the gym so he could challenge Blaine. He was told by a man who liked telling riddles that the gym disappeared when Cinnabar Island became a tourist trap. However, the man eventually told Ash that Blaine built another gym inside of a volcano. When Ash and {{Ashfr|the others}} went in, they learned that the riddler was actually Blaine in disguise. Ash and Blaine battled, but Ash had a series of misfortunes. The first was his {{AP|Squirtle}} being defeated by Blaine's {{p|Ninetales}}. Then, his {{AP|Charizard}} refused to listen to him. Finally, {{AP|Pikachu}} received severe burns caused by [[Blaine's Magmar]] and its powerful {{m|Fire Blast}}. Ash called off the battle, not wanting Pikachu to get injured. In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', after [[Team Rocket]] had almost destroyed Blaine's gym (and Cinnabar Island as a result), he agreed to a rematch on his alternate battlefield on top of the volcano. This time, Ash was able to defeat Blaine with the help of his Charizard and its {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

==Differences between generations==
Cinnabar Island has changed dramatically between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] as the city has been totally replaced by a large erupted volcano, removing everything except for the [[Pokémon Center]]. After the eruption, the [[Gym]] was relocated to the [[Seafoam Islands]]. {{ga|Blue}} can be first found at Cinnabar, because he was bored and decided to take a stroll there. In [[Generation III]], there are a few changes with the visual design, as the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} and [[Pokémon Lab]] are slightly larger along with more sandy beach areas. The first and last questions in the Cinnabar Gym have also been changed slightly for clarification.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==

Cinnabar Island debuted in [[PS026|Holy Moltres]] in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)|Red, Green & Blue Chapter]], where [[Team Rocket]] with there {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Magnemite}} where trying to hunt down [[Blaine]] because he had quit Team Rocket. He used his {{p|Arcanine}} and {{p|Rapidash}}. When he saw {{adv|Red}} he saved him from the cliff just as Team Rocket let out the {{p|Moltres}} they had captured earlier. Blaine told him to use his Rapidash to get to his lab and restore the [[Old Amber]].

Later when Red came back he was joined with an [[Aero|Aerodactyl]] that he had restored. And they Defeated Moltres and Team Rocket ran away.

==Trivia==
* Its Japanese motto is {{tt|グレンのあかはじょうねつのいろ|Guren's red is the color of passion}}.
* It was long believed that Cinnabar Island once was the tip of a {{wp|stratovolcano}} or a {{wp|shield volcano}} since no mountain was visible on the island for the first three generations. This was changed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} where a mountain stratovolcano is actually there and can be reached by using {{m|Rock Climb}}, indicating that lack of diverse scenery in the past games was the reason for no mountain being there. However, all map artworks throughout the Generations have shown the volcano to be there.
* Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the [[Generation I]] games, such as [[Missingno.]] There is also a trick to see a man on the roof of the [[Cinnabar Gym|Gym]].
* Some of the [[wild Pokémon]] found in the mansion in Generation I have been moved to [[Knot Island]] in Generation III, such as {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Magmar}}.
* Cinnabar Island is the only area with a [[Pokémon Gym]] whose name ends in neither "City" nor "Town".

Cinnabar Island

'''Cinnabar Island''' (Japanese: alternatively '''グレンタウン''' ''Guren Town'' and '''グレンじま''' ''Guren Island'') is a large island located off the southern coast of the [[Kanto]] region, south of [[Pallet Town]]. It is home to a large volcano. [[Blaine]] is the resident [[Gym Leader]], specializing in {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]]. {{wp|Cinnabar}} is a kind of red mineral, associated with hot springs and volcanoes. There are no land paths to the island. Instead {{rt|20}} in the east and {{rt|21}} in the north are both [[water route|waterways]] through the ocean.

The [[Generation I]] games reveal Cinnabar Island to be a technological mecca. The journals scattered about the abandoned {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} suggest that {{p|Mewtwo}} was cloned here. The scientists at the [[Pokémon Lab]] have the ability to resurrect [[Pokémon]] from their [[fossil]]s. In [[Generation II]], three years after the events of [[Generation I]], a volcano erupted on the island, destroying everything, except for the [[Pokémon Center]].

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon Mansion===
{{main|Pokémon Mansion (Kanto)|Pokémon Mansion}}

The Pokémon Mansion is a decrepit, burned-down mansion on Cinnabar Island. It got its name because a famous Pokémon Researcher once lived there. The Pokémon Mansion has four different floors. Doors can be unlocked in the Mansion by pressing switches hidden in {{p|Mewtwo}} statues. To access the Cinnabar Island [[Gym]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], the main character has to enter the mansion and find the {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Secret Key}} to unlock the door of the Gym. Many burglars come to the mansion, trying to steal valuable items that may have been lost in the wreckage, challenging the player to a battle when spotted. Amongst the rubble and wreckage is information that the scientists who once worked there obtained a {{p|Mew}} and impregnated it with the genetically altered {{p|Mewtwo}}, who destroyed the mansion in its escape.

===Pokémon Lab===
{{main|Pokémon Lab}}

The Pokémon Lab is a laboratory located on Cinnabar Island. It was founded by [[Dr. Fuji]] and appears in the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]]. The first room of the Pokémon Lab has two people who will offer to [[trade]] Pokémon. The old man will offer his {{p|Electrode}} for a {{p|Raichu}}, and the girl will want to trade her {{p|Tangela}} for a {{p|Venonat}}. In the second room, there is [[move tutor|a man]] who will teach {{m|Metronome}} once to one of the {{player}}'s Pokémon; in Generation I, he gives away {{TM|35|Metronome}}. In the third room, there is a scientist who will revive the [[fossil]]s the player obtained at [[Mt. Moon]] and from the [[Pewter City]] Museum and a person who will trade his {{p|Seel}} for a {{p|Ponyta}}. In [[Silph Co.]], there is a Pokémon Report stating that Pokémon Lab created {{p|Porygon}}.

===Volcano===
There is a volcano on Cinnabar Island which gives it its name. Strangely enough, the volcano that appears on Cinnabar Island cannot be accessed to, or has never been seen or mentioned on the island, in [[Generation I]] and in [[Generation III]]. But in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the volcano is a prominent feature of the island, and is where the Cinnabar Gym is located and split into two sections; one is inside of the volcano, and has an arena suspended over the lava inside one of the chambers, the other arena is in the top crater of the volcano itself. In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, three years after the events of [[Generation I]], the Volcano erupted on the island destroying everything, except for the [[Pokémon Center]] which still stands. What appeared to be a rain-filled crater could also be seen in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the exterior of the volcano can be scaled with {{m|Rock Climb}}.

==Cinnabar Gym==
{{main|Cinnabar Gym}}

[[Image:Cinnabar Gym FRLG.png|thumb|Cinnabar Gym in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
The Cinnabar Gym is the official [[gym]] of Cinnabar Island. It is based on {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Blaine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{DL|Badge|Indigo League|Volcano Badge}}. The player is unable to enter the gym at once, only when they obtain the {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Secret Key}} from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} can they unlock the door to the gym. The Cinnabar Gym is a high-tech affair featuring a series of sealed doors. Trivia questions about various Pokémon must be answered to unseal the doors. However, when the player fails to answer a trivia question correctly, a battle with either a Burglar or Super Nerd results, an alternative to unsealing the doors. In Generations II and IV, Blaine's original gym on Cinnabar Island was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. This forced him to relocate to a cave on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cinnabar Island volcano.JPG|thumb|left|The opening to the volcano on Cinnabar Island in the anime.]]
Cinnabar Island is considered a mere beach resort in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s skip the island entirely or go there for a break from {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. [[Blaine]] runs a hotel for tourists and wears a hippie disguise to hide his real identity as [[Gym Leader]]. His [[Gym]] is located inside of the volcano. Aside from inside of the Pokémon Mansion, wild Pokémon also appear in the ocean around the island.

The Cinnabar Gym has two sections in the {{pkmn|anime}}; one is inside of the volcano, and has an arena suspended over the lava inside one of the chambers. The other arena is in the top crater of the volcano itself.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', {{Ash}} was trying to locate the gym so he could challenge Blaine. He was told by a man who liked telling riddles that the gym disappeared when Cinnabar Island became a tourist trap. However, the man eventually told Ash that Blaine built another gym inside of a volcano. When Ash and {{Ashfr|the others}} went in, they learned that the riddler was actually Blaine in disguise. Ash and Blaine battled, but Ash had a series of misfortunes. The first was his {{AP|Squirtle}} being defeated by Blaine's {{p|Ninetales}}. Then, his {{AP|Charizard}} refused to listen to him. Finally, {{AP|Pikachu}} received severe burns caused by [[Blaine's Magmar]] and its powerful {{m|Fire Blast}}. Ash called off the battle, not wanting Pikachu to get injured. In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', after [[Team Rocket]] had almost destroyed Blaine's gym (and Cinnabar Island as a result), he agreed to a rematch on his alternate battlefield on top of the volcano. This time, Ash was able to defeat Blaine with the help of his Charizard and its {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

==Differences between generations==
Cinnabar Island has changed dramatically between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] as the city has been totally replaced by a large erupted volcano, removing everything except for the [[Pokémon Center]]. After the eruption, the [[Gym]] was relocated to the [[Seafoam Islands]]. {{ga|Blue}} can be first found at Cinnabar, because he was bored and decided to take a stroll there. In [[Generation III]], there are a few changes with the visual design, as the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} and [[Pokémon Lab]] are slightly larger along with more sandy beach areas. The first and last questions in the Cinnabar Gym have also been changed slightly for clarification.

Generation IV

2010-01-01T06:49:28Z

Evice: /* Gym Leaders */ Cinnabar Island is referred to as Guren Town in the Japanese versions of HGSS, not Guren Island.

[[File:Diamond screen.png|frame|right|The title screen for {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}}.]]
The '''fourth generation''' of Pokémon games, sometimes called the '''3D generation''' by fans due to the fact that it contains the first [[main series]] (i.e. non-spinoff) games to use 3D graphics, is the fourth set of Pokémon games released.

Like [[Generation II]] followed from [[Generation I]], Generation IV follows from [[Generation III]], although it is unlike Generation II in that it is not a direct sequel ([[Hoenn]] is inaccessible in all Generation IV games). Like previous generations, Generation IV focuses on one main region across three games, the [[Sinnoh]] region featured in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} on the [[Nintendo DS]], released in 2006 and 2008 (and 2007 and 2009 outside Japan). Also like Generation II, the Generation IV games retain much compatibility with their Generation III counterparts, though in a different manner, and introduce many new Pokémon which are related to those of the previous three generations.

Much like Generation III remade the Generation I games, the Generation II games also receive [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remake speculation|much anticipated]] remakes in the form of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and through details revealed in the five main games, Generation IV is thus known to be contemporaneous with Generation II, occurring three years after Generation I and Generation III. Like all generations, the handheld games are joined by several games on Nintendo's latest console, the [[Wii]], specifically, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[My Pokémon Ranch]].

==Advances in gameplay==
Much like how Generation II enhanced Generation I mostly by building on its features, Generation IV builds on the features introduced in Generation III. The advancements introduced in Generation IV include:
*The addition of {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 493. New evolutions and pre-evolutions abound in this generation, including ones for long-time favorites such as {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Eevee}}.
*The addition of 113 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 467.
*The addition of 47 new [[abilities]] (and removal of {{a|Cacophony}}), bringing the total to 123. Many older Pokémon can now have one of two abilities, rather than the single ability they could have in Generation III.
*Four more boxes in the [[Pokémon storage system]], bringing the total to 18, for a total of 540 Pokémon.
*Another new region to explore, [[Sinnoh]], yet again with its own [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]]. Player characters are again changed.
*Four new variants of [[Poké Ball]], retaining the seven introduced in Generation III.
*A new [[villainous team]], [[Team Galactic]], whose intent is to capture {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, said to be the creators of the [[Pokémon universe]], and remake it in the image of their leader, [[Cyrus]].
*The return of the [[time]] system from Generation II, with enhanced transitions between the time periods of the day.
*A three-dimensional rendering of the overworld, rather than just sprites, with the same style seen in previous games.
*Moves are now designated [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] based on the move itself, rather than its type.
*Pokémon are now able to be traded and battled over the internet through the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

Alterations from Generation III include:
*[[Pokémon Super Contest|New and enhanced]] versions of [[Pokémon Contest]]s, featuring more rounds and a different appeals process. [[Poffin]] are now used to enhance contest stats, rather than [[Pokéblocks]].
*[[Secret base]]s have been moved [[The Underground|underground]], where players can interact over local wireless connections.

==Regions==
===Sinnoh===
[[File:Sinnohplatinum.jpg|thumb|right|Sinnoh]]
{{main|Sinnoh}}
Like Generation III, Generation IV introduces a new region disconnected from all previous ones, the [[Sinnoh]] region, found far north of [[Kanto]]. Being that it is so far north, snow can be found on its northern tip, as well as in the mountainous center of the region. Much of the western half of the region is rural, while its east is comparatively urban, in a similarity to the continental area shared by Johto and Kanto, respectively.

====Starter Pokémon====
Though it was initially rumored that the {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}} setup that had been the norm for the past three generations would be replaced with a {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} trio, these rumors were later proven false. At the beginning of the journey, players must choose from the Grass-type {{p|Turtwig}}, the Fire-type {{p|Chimchar}}, and the Water-type {{p|Piplup}} to defend themselves from a wild {{p|Starly}} in Diamond and Pearl, or be given one of the three by [[Professor Rowan]] directly in Platinum.

====Gym Leaders====
Like the other three regions, Sinnoh has its own set of eight Gym Leaders. This set specializes in the same types as Gym Leaders from other regions, though not in the same order. Like always, badges and TMs are given away by defeated Gym Leaders.

===Johto===
[[File:JohtoMap.png|thumb|right|Johto]]
{{main|Johto}}
Much like Kanto was featured a second time in [[Generation III]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} cause [[Johto]] to be featured a second time in Generation IV.

====Starter Pokémon====
Much as Kanto's Generation III starters were the same as in Generation I, Johto's starters have not changed. [[Professor Elm]] offers {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to the player as protection on an errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house on {{rt|30}}.

====Gym Leaders====
As would be expected, Johto's Gym Leaders are the same as before, but many give out different TMs than they gave out in Generation II.

===Kanto===
[[File:Kanto FRLG Harada map.jpg|thumb|right|Kanto as seen in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
{{main|Kanto}}
In its fourth appearance, Kanto returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver much in the same way as it did in Generation II (as a post-League area).

====Gym Leaders====
Kanto's Gym Leaders are the same as in the original Gold and Silver, changing slightly from the group who were there in Generation I and Generation III. All Kanto Gym Leaders give TMs, unlike in Generation II.

==Other Generation IV games==
[[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] features a [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]-like arena for battle, allowing Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver to link to it through wireless communications between the Nintendo DS and Wii, much like previous generations' games would link to {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Stadium]], and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}. Battle Revolution also features online battles with players around the world via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

[[My Pokémon Ranch]] lets players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} deposit their Pokémon, via wireless communication, to a ranch owned by [[Hayley]], who will also bring Pokémon to the ranch. Players can interact with up to 1,000 of their deposited Pokémon. An update for this game enables support for {{v2|Platinum}}, as well as allowing storage for 500 more Pokémon, however, it has not yet been released to players outside Japan. It is unknown if another update will be released for HeartGold and SoulSilver.

==Trivia==
*Every [[player character]] in all Generation IV games has a [[Wii]] in his/her room, referencing its status as the current Nintendo console during the generation. This is in contrast with [[Generation III]], in which only player characters in Hoenn had a [[Nintendo GameCube]], while player characters in Kanto had an [[SNES]] as was the case during the [[Generation I]] games.
*Generation IV's framerate is downgraded from Generation III: whereas Generation III games ran at 60 frames per second, Generation IV games run at only 30, like Generation I and II do. This is likely to prevent slowdown due to the 3D graphics.
*Due to the Generation II remakes, and the inclusion of Kanto in them, Generation IV has the largest number of accessible regions (in the handheld games) of all; [[Generation I]] had only one (Kanto), [[Generation II]] had two (Kanto and Johto), [[Generation III]] had two (Kanto and Hoenn), whereas Generation IV has three (Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh).
**Because Hoenn was not included in Generation IV, its Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Frontier Brains lack the now standard animated battle sprites and close-up headshots. [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], the only important Trainers from another region who are not in Generation IV, also miss out.

Evolution

2009-12-31T04:19:59Z

Evice: /* In relation to the real world */

[[Image:Evolution.gif|frame|right|{{p|Ivysaur}} evolves into {{p|Venusaur}}, depicted in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]]]

During the course of a Pokémon's development, under certain circumstances specific to that Pokémon's species, it may '''evolve''' (Japanese: {{tt|進化|しんか}} ''shinka'') into a different Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different (and usually more powerful) [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[Elemental types|type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Other statistics, such as [[nature]] and [[EVs]], as well as {{pkmn2|shiny|alternate coloration}}, are preserved.

==Evolution families==
An evolution family is a group of Pokémon who will all, if bred with {{p|Ditto}}, make a Pokémon egg that will hatch into the same Pokémon, excluding baby Pokémon. This also means that the most basic form has the potential to become any of the rest of the family, although it will ultimately be able to follow only one evolutionary path.

===Stages of evolution===
Pokémon can be divided into different evolutionary stages, based on where they appear in their evolution family. All Pokémon fall into one of four groups: [[baby Pokémon]], unevolved Pokémon, first-evolution Pokémon, and second-evolution Pokémon. These groups are also the basis for the [[TCG]]'s grouping of {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}, and {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}}, respectively.

Due to the fact that no evolution family contains both a baby Pokémon and a second-evolution Pokémon, many regard baby Pokémon as the most basic form, while moving their evolved counterparts one level higher. For example, originally, {{p|Pikachu}} was regarded as an unevolved Pokémon, however, with the release of {{p|Pichu}} in [[Generation II]], many now consider it to be more on par with Pokémon like {{p|Charmeleon}}, though its TCG classification remains the same.

====Two-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}
Perhaps the most well-known types of evolution families are those that feature two separate evolutionary events in the Pokémon's development. Indeed, this type of evolution family is what all of the [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[main series]] are a part of, including {{p|Pikachu}}. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

|}
====One-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line}}
By far the most common type of evolution family, these families are based in a Pokémon that will only ever evolve once in its development. About one third of all Pokémon that would later get a baby form were part of this kind of evolution family before their baby form was revealed. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

====Pokémon that do not evolve====
{{main|List of Pokémon that do not evolve}}
The least common type of evolution family, of course, is that in which no evolutionary event takes place, meaning that it is made up of only one member. Many of the Pokémon that have no evolutionary event are, of course, [[legendary Pokémon]]. However, there are still 42 other Pokémon that do not evolve. Below is a list of all non-legendary Pokémon that do not evolve.

It must be noted that not belonging to an evolutionary family is not indicative of strength, or a lack thereof. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Pinsir}} and {{p|Skarmory}}, are comparable to fully evolved Pokémon while others, like {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, are more comparable to unevolved Pokémon. Often this indicates a Pokémon's possibility to be eligible for future [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]].

====Branch evolution families====
{{main|List of Pokémon with branched evolutions}}
Several families, while also one- and two-evolution families, are also branch evolution families. What this means is that there is a split in the evolutionary line at some point so that even though two Pokémon of the same species evolve the same amount of times, they can become one of two or more entirely different creatures. {{p|Eevee}} is the best-known example of this, evolving seven different ways depending on the method used. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

=====Advantages=====
A major difference between the final forms of an evolution family with a branch in evolution is in the way that their [[base stats]] line up. For example, {{p|Kirlia}} evolves into both {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}, which both have 518 total base stats. However, Gallade's base stat in {{stat|Attack}} is 125 and its base stat in {{stat|Special Attack}} is 65. The reverse is true for Gardevoir, whose Special Attack is 125 and whose Attack is 65. This is true of many opposing evolutions, with one focusing in one specific stat, the other focusing in a separate stat, and both having the same total stats. This is especially obvious in the [[Eeveelution]]s, who each have exactly the same base stats, though organized differently.

A listing of the stat focuses is below.

==Methods of evolution==
{{main|Methods of evolution}}
The various triggers for a Pokémon's evolution are almost as varied as the Pokémon themselves. The most common of them is evolution by leveling up at or above a certain level. Other methods include leveling up when [[happiness]] has reached a high level, [[trade|trading]] the Pokémon, trading the Pokémon [[evolution-inducing held item|holding an item]], leveling up holding an item, or even using an [[evolutionary stone]] on it. Additionally, holding an [[Everstone]] prevents a Pokémon from evolving.

Most commonly, Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both be by [[evolutionary stone]] or by [[held item|holding an item]] and [[trade|trading]]. Closely-related Pokémon, such as {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}, will also have very similar, if not identical, evolution methods.

==In the anime==
[[File:Branched evolution.png|thumb|200px|right|Gloom's evolutionary line as shown in the anime]]
In the anime, evolution happens in much the same way as it does in the games; though [[level]]-based evolution nor [[trade]]-based evolutions do not occur using those methods, there are similarities in the way they come about. For example, [[Misty]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} because it found {{Ash}}'s {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} and was holding it when Misty sent it out, while in the games it is required that Poliwhirl be traded while holding the King's Rock for the evolution to take place. When a {{p|Beedrill}} attacked Ash's {{p|Metapod}}, it caused a crack to appear on its shell, which {{AP|Butterfree}} came out of.

Additionally, a difference can be noted in the fact that Pokémon evolve ''during'' a battle, as opposed to after it. There are also several instances of an evolutionary trigger being incorrect, such as ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' where several {{p|Exeggcute}} evolve into {{p|Exeggutor}} without the aid of a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}} (Although it should be noted that the episode in question implies that there was radiation emitted by Leaf Stones buried underground that caused the evolution to be triggered). Pokémon may also evolve when they are needed to, for an extra boost of power, instead of after a set amount of training, such as when Ash's {{p|Charmeleon}} evolved into {{AP|Charizard}}. In addition, Pokémon can sometimes choose not to evolve, even if they evolve by a 'natural' method such as leveling up. It appears that evolution has emotional implications for Pokémon - some Pokémon, such as Team Rocket's {{MTR}}, dislike their evolved forms, while others such as Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} simply want to prove they can be powerful without evolving. Conversely, when Pokémon do evolve, this can often be linked with an experience that causes them to mature emotionally or deal with an emotional issue, such as when the {{p|Poochyena}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'' evolved, or the {{p|Paras}} in ''[[EP044|The Problem With Paras]]''. Poochyena, for some reason, had an aversion to using the move {{m|Bite}}, while Paras was extremely timid and weak in battle. Both of them evolved shortly after overcoming these issues.

For a list of all evolutions that Pokémon belonging to the main cast have undergone, see [[List of anime Pokémon by evolution]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Evolution (TCG)}}
Evolution in the TCG functions similarly in many aspects to that of the games, however, there is no different requirement that needs to be met depending on the Pokémon species to be evolved to move on to the next stage.

There are four different stages of evolution in the TCG, Baby Pokémon, Basic Pokémon, Stage 1 Pokémon, and Stage 2 Pokémon. Of these, only Baby and Basic Pokémon may be placed onto the Bench during the setup phase and during play; Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokémon are considered to be evolution cards and therefore unable to be played except on top of their corresponding pre-evolved forms. The stage of evolution is indicated in a conspicuous place on each and every Pokémon card, though the placement differs among the four generations of cards.

Within the deck and discard pile, only Stage 1 and Stage 2 cards are considered to be "evolution cards" for the purpose of a Trainer card or Pokémon Power which allows them to be searched for. In play, a Basic Pokémon card can be considered an evolution card if it is evolved from its Baby stage.

==In relation to the real world==
Evolution in Pokémon, for most species, is more akin to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than to {{wp|evolution|actual evolution}}. This is because real life evolution happens to a population rather than to individuals, and happens over much larger time scales than in the Pokémon world. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, it is mentioned that Pokémon evolution is an entirely separate phenomenon from the normal process of evolution, and is a mysterious ability exclusive to Pokémon that is still not fully understood.

However, this does not necessarily mean that evolution in real-world terms does not exist in the Pokémon world; the existence of "extinct" Pokémon backs this up.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl}}
'''Pokémon Diamond Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド''' ''Pocket Monsters Diamond'') and '''Pokémon Pearl Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターパール''' ''Pocket Monsters Pearl'') are the first [[main series]] Pokémon RPGs released on the [[Nintendo DS]], beginning [[Generation IV]]. The games were released in Japan on September 28, 2006 and in North America on April 22, 2007. They take place in the region of [[Sinnoh]] and the {{player}}'s starting area is [[Twinleaf Town]].

==Plot==
At the start, the player sees a [[television|newscast]] about a sighting of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}. The player then heads to his or her {{ga|Pearl|best friend}}'s house and goes to [[Lake Verity]] with him to see if there are any similar Pokémon living in it. Once there, two wild {{p|Starly}} attack. Nearby is a briefcase containing [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the two choose from to fight off the {{type2|Flying}}s. As is always the case, the player's best friend, who becomes the rival, takes the Pokémon that has a type advantage over the player's choice. The professor's assistant, who is the alternate-[[gender]] player character of the player, takes the remaining starter. After the Starly is defeated, the two return to Twinleaf Town with [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives him or her a pair of [[Running Shoes]], and then the player leaves for Sandgem Town to return the briefcase. After meeting Professor Rowan, he gives the player the Pokémon chosen at the lake to keep and a [[Pokédex]]. This sets one of the primary aims of the game, completing the Pokédex. The player then sets off to explore Sinnoh and defeat [[Gym Leader]]s in order to advance further in the plot, challenge the [[Elite Four]] and become the [[Champion]] of Sinnoh.

During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil [[Team Galactic]] and its leader, [[Cyrus]]. When the power of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} (depending on the version), summoned by Cyrus, begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} appear and negate the power flow, and the player must catch or defeat the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]].

After the player defeats the Elite Four, there are further activities to pursue. These mainly concern the capture of previously unavailable Pokémon, extra features such as the PokéRadar, exploration of previously unaccessable places such as the [[Fight Area|Fight]], [[Survival Area|Survival]], and [[Resort Area|Resort Areas]] and the perfection of battle skills in the {{si|Battle Tower}}.

==Blurb==
"Welcome to the next [[Generation IV|generation]] of Pokémon!" As a rookie [[Pokémon Trainer]], you will need to catch, train and battle Pokémon on your journey to become the [[Pokémon League]] Champion. You will face many challenges along the way, as you search for the Pokémon that rules time or space in Pokémon Diamond Version or Pokémon Pearl Version. Discover more than 100 new Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh]] region!. Meet goals and earn the ability to import Pokémon from your GBA [[version]]s! Battle and trade with your friends around the world using [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]!

==Connectivity==
[[{{ns:6}}:Pokémon Pearl.jpg|right|thumb|North American Pokémon Pearl DS card]]

*Diamond and Pearl are compatible with the [[Generation III|Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs]] after seeing the first 150 Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex. The GBA cartridge is inserted into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, while Diamond or Pearl is in its DS card slot to upload Pokémon.
*Pokémon uploads are restricted to six per 24-hour period per GBA cartridge, and the player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in [[Pal Park]] located at the end of [[Route 221]] before transferring from another GBA game.
**However there is a [[Pal Park Glitch|way]] to bypass this restriction.
*Pokémon knowing any of the [[Generation III]] [[HM]] [[move]]s ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}}) cannot be transferred; therefore, it is necessary to go to the [[Move Deleter]] in [[Fuchsia City]] or [[Lilycove City]] to remove them before transfer.
*The player cannot transfer any of the Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to their Diamond/Pearl copy; the transfer is permanent.
*While a GBA game is in the DS, [[dual-slot mode]] activates and it becomes possible to capture Pokémon in the wild in Sinnoh that do not natively appear, though this may only happen after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.
*The DS's native support for Wi-Fi is employed, allowing players to trade, battle and communicate using "voice chat" online.
*Diamond and Pearl feature wireless connectivity to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], much as their predecessors connected to the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[Nintendo GameCube]] and their respective battle arena games.
*Diamond and Pearl feature a global trading system, which allows trainers to search for any Pokémon they want, or put up one of their own Pokémon for trade for any Pokémon. Players of other games can search for the Pokémon that others have put onto the [[Global Trade Station]].
*Diamond and Pearl feature connectivity to {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. By completing a special mission in Ranger, an [[Pokémon egg|Egg]] can be sent from Ranger to Diamond or Pearl, where it can be hatched into the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Manaphy}}.
*Diamond and Pearl also feature connectivity to [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. By completing three special missions in the game, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|egg}}, a {{p|Riolu}} with {{m|Aura Sphere}} and a {{p|Darkrai}} with {{m|Dark Void}} can be sent from the game to Diamond or Pearl.
*Diamond and Pearl also feature connection to the [[Wii|WiiWare]] title [[My Pokémon Ranch]], in which Pokémon can be raised and stored in a farm-like environment, much like [[Generation III]]'s [[Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire]].

==Features==
The day-night system first appearing in [[Generation II]] returns, with the same three [[time]] periods, but better transitioning between them. A new multifunction device called the [[Pokétch]], short for Pokémon Watch, is also introduced. The [[Pokémon professor|regional Professor]]'s name is [[Professor Rowan]], after [[wp:Rowan|a tree]] like the others, and he allows the player and his or her rival to keep the [[starter Pokémon]] they used against attacking wild Pokémon at the beginning of the game.

A new battle system is used for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In this new battle system, attacks are declared either physical or special by how the attack itself operates, i.e. whether the attack touches the enemy or not, instead of the attack type, as was previously the case. For example, {{m|ThunderPunch}} is now [[physical move|physical]] and {{m|Hyper Beam}} turns into [[special move|special]]. This was initially highly controversial with fans of the series, as it was considered to "waste" some of the Pokémon that were more powerful in [[Generation III]], like {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, though it now allows for a more versatile set of moves to be viable for these Pokémon.

Though it was reported initially that the games would feature {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} starters, this is not the case. The games retain the starters in the type trio of previous generations, {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}}, this time being {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Piplup}}, respectively.

===Contests===
{{main|Pokémon Super Contest}}
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a significant amount of changes have been made to the Pokémon Contests introduced in [[Generation III]], now known as Super Contests.

Instead of making [[Pokéblock]]s with berries, berry-flavored muffins called [[Poffin]] are made. This is done in [[Hearthome City]], though not within the contest hall, instead it is done at the Poffin House, which is near the Pokémon Center in Hearthome. Using the DS's touchscreen, players must stir the Poffin as directed by arrows that appear.

The first round of the contests themselves is similar to the first round in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but instead of relying solely on contest stats, Pokémon must be dressed up using [[Accessory|accessories]] with the stylus within a time limit. Each particular contest will require different accessories, and higher ranks may require more to be put on the Pokémon.

The second round is a dancing round, using buttons on the touch screen to either perform a dance that the others will find hard to mimic (if the player's Pokémon is the main dancer) or to copy the lead Pokémon's dance moves. Each Pokémon gets a turn at being the leader, and the leader must try to dance in time with the music, and so, obviously, so do the background dancers. The A, B, X, and Y buttons also work.

The third round is very similar to the appeals round in Generation III, and the main difference is that there are three judges and only four appeals, rather than one judge and five appeals. A Pokémon will get more points if it is the only Pokémon to perform for a particular judge, less if another one appeals for that judge and so on. The crowd system is still in place, but this time, each judge has a different meter, making it both potentially risky and potentially rewarding to appeal to a judge that all of the other Pokémon are appealing to. In addition, Pokémon will receive bonus points for appeals regardless of the impression on the judge, and points are not added simply for raising a judge's "voltage."

===New gyms===
As is always the case, there are eight new [[Gym]]s in Sinnoh, each with their own type affiliation. The new [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Roark]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Gardenia]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Maylene]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Crasher Wake]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Fantina]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Byron]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Candice]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Volkner]] ({{t|Electric}}).

===Elite Four===
The new [[Elite Four]] is located at the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]]. The Elite trainers are [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Bertha]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Lucian]] ({{t|Psychic}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Cynthia]], who has Pokémon of mixed types.

===New Pokémon===
:: ''See [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number]]''
As the first [[Generation IV]] games, Diamond and Pearl were the first sightings of 107 new Pokémon, bringing the total amount to 493.

The new Pokémon began being unveiled in 2004, with the release of ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' in Japan, where {{p|Munchlax}} was revealed.

{{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|Fourth-generation Pokémon}} continued being unveiled in 2005, with the Japanese release of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The movie featured {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}.

2006 was crunch time for the fourth generation. The ninth movie, ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', featured {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}}, and {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} were soon confirmed to be on the two games' [[Version mascots|boxart]]. On September 27, all 107 of the new Pokémon's menu icons were revealed on [[Filb.de]].

During the week that followed the games' Japanese release, [[Serebii.net]] featured a "Discovery Trench" that revealed the names and stats of many of the previously-unknown Pokémon to the general public.

====[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Version exclusives]]====
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokémon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of [[Generation IV]] which has that Pokémon available. Alternatively, all Pokémon released prior to these games may be migrated from a [[Generation III]] game.

==Compatibility==
Trading exists between Diamond and Pearl versions through the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal wireless connection. It connects to {{game|Platinum}} in the same manner. [[Pokémon egg|Eggs]] received from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and its sequels are also sent through wireless. Diamond and Pearl also have the ability to connect to the {{wp|internet}} with the [[Global Trade Station|Nintendo Wifi]] system, and also the [[Nintendo Wii]]. For the first time, players may also battle and trade with games in foreign languages. Some [[Pokémon]] can have [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]].

Diamond and Pearl also maintain backward compatibility with the [[Generation III]] games, however standard trading is not allowed. A player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some Pokémon that could previously not be caught can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

Also, by connecting to the Wii with a Nintendo DS, players can copy their [[party]] Pokémon to their copy of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], as well as [[My Pokémon Ranch]]. However, only Diamond and Pearl are compatible with My Pokémon Ranch, while Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are all compatible with Pokémon Battle Revolution.

==Reception==
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were critically well received, with Nintendo Power calling them "the ultimate Pokémon experience." <ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/pokemondiamond?q=pokemon 1 Pokemon Diamond (ds) reviews at Metacritic.com]¸(retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> The inclusion of Wi-fi features and the voice chat feature were also praised. However, the games were criticized for their somewhat basic graphics, with IGN commenting "if you're looking for impressive visuals you're not going to get them."<ref>[http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/782/782443p2.html IGN: Pokemon Diamond Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Despite this, Diamond and Pearl received a "Great" score of 8.5/10 on the site.<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/objects/707/707323.html Pokemon Diamond | Pokemon Diamond Version (2007)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

According to {{wp|Famitsu}}, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl sold 1,586,360 units in the four days after its release. On December 27, 2006, it was announced that the two games combined became the first Nintendo DS games to hit five million units shipped.<ref>[http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/2006/12/27/103,1167202517,65081,0,0.html 『ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド･パール』の出荷本数が500万本を突破！ ] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Trivia==
* Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are the first main series games in which the rival's starter Pokémon is not at level 5 during the first rival battle.
* Pokémon Diamond and Pearl contain many references to {{wp|Internet meme}}s and {{wp|chatspeak}}. The lead translator, [[Nob Ogasawara]], is a member of the {{wp|Something Awful|Something Awful Forums}}, leading to numerous internet references. There are also multiple references to the Something Awful website and community scattered throughout the game, such as one Pokémon Trainer announcing "{{wp|My Tank is Fight|My Pokémon is Fight!}}". "Noob" is also used several times, "Owned" is said by a [[Team Galactic|Galactic]] grunt and [[Buck]], and ROFL is available as a speech option. Also, in the {{player}}'s first encounter with Team Galactic, they tell [[Professor Rowan]] to "hand over his research so that they would refrain from causing {{wp|Giant Enemy Crab|massive damage}} to his assistant". The receptionist in the [[Team Galactic HQ]] and a [[Fisherman]] on [[Route 212]] use the phrase "For the Win". In Veilstone City, a girl tells a man asked her in a strange language "{{wp|List of Internet phenomena#Games|if she liked Pokémon or something}}", and a clown tells the player {{wp|Pro Wrestling (Nintendo Entertainment System)#"A winner is you"|"A winner is you"}}. Perhaps coincidentally, [[Twinleaf Town]] shares its Japanese name with that of the original *chan imageboard, {{wp|Futaba Channel|2chan}}.
* Diamond and Pearl (and also {{v2|Platinum}}) are also the first main series Pokémon games not to have their storage media colored outside of Japan, and the first games in which the lab of the region's [[Pokémon Professor]] is not in the player's hometown.
* The Sinnoh region's starters are the first [[starter Pokémon]] which all gain a second type through evolution.
* Diamond and Pearl are the first games where it is safe to trade between English and Japanese versions. The best example of this is shown by the fact that Japanese Pokémon from the GTS do not harm foreign language versions. In fact, several actually add their own foreign Pokédex entry when traded.
* The leaders and [[Elite_Four#Sinnoh_Elite_Four|Elite Four]] of Sinnoh do not always use Pokémon of their specialized type. This problem was fixed in {{v2|Platinum}} with an [[Sinnoh_Dex#Platinum_expansion|expansion]] added to the Pokédex.
* Diamond and Pearl are the second Pokémon games that require their saved data to be deleted before saving a new game, with the first being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].
* Korean characters do not appear in non-Korean games and vice-versa; they appear as empty spaces.
* Diamond and Pearl are also the first two games in which [[baby Pokémon]] previously available only through {{pkmn|breeding}} can be found in the wild, if one would not count catching {{p|Wynaut}} on [[Mirage Island]] in the Hoenn-based games.
**Also, certain Pokémon that normally [[Evolution|evolve]] via [[Trade|trading]] may be caught in the wild as well.
* Diamond and Pearl are the first set of games where all 3 of the starter Pokémon are utilized in the storyline of the game.
* Diamond and Pearl are the first main Pokémon games not to capitalize the names of characters, locations, items, etc. normally (e.g. Team Galactic and Ultra Ball aren't completely capitalized) as opposed to writing them in all capital letters (e.g. TEAM ROCKET or ULTRA BALL) as was in previous games. However, Pokémon names are still written this way due to backward compatibility with previous games.
* On the English versions of the box art, the Pokémon logo has the registered trademark symbol(®). However, the in-game title screen has the trademark symbol(™).
* The frame rate for the Generation IV games is 30 frames per second, lower than that of the Generation III games. This is most likely due to the 3D graphics.
* These games were the first in which the {{player}} doesn't need to capture all of the Pokémon in a regional Pokédex in order to receive the [[National Pokédex]] and instead, simply see them in the wild.
* These games are the first games where the upgrade to the National Pokédex is not required for allowing non-regional Pokémon on these versions from trading, though the only drawback is that a non-regional Pokémon does not count on the number of Pokémon seen or caught and their number is listed as ??? until the National Pokédex is acquired.

'''Slowbro''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドラン''' ''Yadoran'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Slowpoke}} starting at [[level]] 37. It is one of {{p|Slowpoke|Slowpoke's}} two final forms.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Slowbro are physically slightly different Slowpoke, with a {{p|Shellder}} latched to its tail on a symbiotic, almost parasitic relationship with the Slowbro. The extra weight on its tail turned the Slowpoke bipedal. As a result of carrying this burden, its special abilities were developed greatly. Through the symbiotic relationship, the latched Shellder grows in a spiral shell instead of a bivalve. If for any reason it loses its Shellder, it will result in the Slowbro returning to its former Slowpoke self.

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

===Special abilities===
Since it cannot fish anymore, it now has to catch prey. It is therefore, slightly faster than an ordinary Slowpoke, and is significantly more powerful. The most notable changes in Slowbro's movepool is the addition of physical fighting moves, such as {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, and {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

===Behavior===
Used to dozing off at shorelines and lakesides waiting for fish to bite the tip of its tail, the extra burden of a {{p|Shellder}} turned this Pokémon fisher into a hunter, against its own will.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Slowbro tend to live near ponds, lakes, and seashores.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
 
Due to the Shellder on its tail preventing it from fishing, Slowbro instead grudgingly swims to catch prey instead.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Slowbro Anime.png|left|thumb|A Slowbro in the anime]]
[[Image:EP066shot.jpg|thumb|right|A Slowpoke with a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Shellder}} on its tail that didn't evolve yet]]
===Major Appearances===
[[Professor Westwood V]] had a Slowbro that evolved from a Slowpoke in ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''.

[[Lorelei|Prima]] used a Slowbro to help {{Ash}} get his {{AP|Charizard}} under control in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''.

A Slowpoke evolved into Slowbro in "[[EP244|Enlighten Up!]]".

Several Slowpoke evolve to Slowbro against their will in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.
 
===Minor Appearances===
A Slowpoke that {{Ash}}'s missing Pokémon asked for help evolved at the end of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

A Slowbro has appeared in ''[[AG179|May, We Hardly Drew'd Ya!]]'', under the ownership of [[Solidad]].

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
[[Lorelei]] uses a Slowbro as part of her team in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. With the {{p|Shellder}} clamped onto its tail, Lorelei explains that her Slowbro has sharpened senses and is capable of looking in all directions, thanks to the extra pair of eyes, allowing it to discover {{adv|Blue}}'s ploy using {{p|Horsea}}.

==Trivia==
*Despite it being a commonly known and accepted fact that {{p|Shellder}} triggers the evolution, mentioned in most of its Pokédex entries, Slowbro's evolution from Slowpoke has nothing to do with Shellder in the games, unlike how the evolution of {{p|Mantyke}} requires a {{p|Remoraid}}.
*Slowbro's Pokédex entries imply that if the Shellder is removed, it will revert to its Slowpoke form. It is never mentioned what happens to the Shellder afterwards.
** This is the only mentioning of a Pokemon possibly devolving anywhere in the Pokemon games.
*Many Pokémon are noted to evolve by two or more Pokémon combining, such as {{p|Metang}} being formed by two {{p|Beldum}}. However, the {{pkmn|anime}} does not show this and simply spawns the second Pokémon out of nowhere: an example is [[Morrison's Beldum]], which simply evolved into Metang without the need of joining to another Beldum. The evolution of Slowpoke into Slowbro is the only time that evolution by two Pokémon physically merging is shown.
* Interestingly, in Slowbro's Generation III backsprite and its Generation II sprite, the Shellder doesn't have spots, even though in the Generation III's regular sprite and the Generation II's back sprite, and all other games so far, it does have spots.
===Origin===
Slowbro's shell and lifestyle are somewhat similar to hermit crabs. Slowbro's appearance may also be based on a {{wp|pygmy hippopotamus}}, or a {{wp|giant salamander}}.
====Name origin====
Slowbro's name is a combination of ''slow'' and ''bro'', short for ''brother''. It may just be used in a general sense, in the same way someone would say "hey, brother!" It could also refer to the brotherly relationship shared by the combined form of {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}}, or to the fact that it is somewhat based on a '''hermit''' crab, as seen on its Pokédex species.

''Yadoran'' may be taken to mean 宿らん, to not lodge/dwell. It is also possible that the ''yado'' comes from 宿借り ''yadokari'', {{wp|hermit crab}}, or 宿主 ''yadonushi'', (parasitic) host. Also, 鈍感 ''donkan'' means thickheaded or solid, and 鈍 ''don'' means slow, dull, or stupid.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Lahmus - From ''lahm'' (slow) and ''Muschel'' (shell or clam).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Flagadoss - From ''flagada'' (soft, weak) and ''molosse'' (big dog).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 야도란 ''Yadoran''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 大呆獸 - Literally "big slow-witted creature" (as opposed to Slowpoke being little slow-witted creature).

Bird Keeper (Trainer class)

2009-12-14T11:08:17Z

Evice: /* Trivia */

A '''Bird Keeper''' (Japanese: '''とりつかい''' ''Bird Tamer'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are generally depicted as young men carrying bird cages, except in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, in which they are female. Their design in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} appears to have been intended as a male version of the {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} design. They seem to be very into bird-keeping and keep many {{t|Flying|Bird Pokémon}} in their cages as pets.

They specialize in {{type2|Flying}} [[Pokémon]] that are based on birds, like {{P|Pidgeot}}.

==Trivia==
* Bird Keepers have only appeared with a bird with them in Generation I, and it was outside of its bird cage.
* {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} are the only games not to have exclusively male Bird Keepers; instead, they are all female. {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}'s Bird Keepers are once again male, however, and have similar clothing and similarly colored hair to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum's female Bird Keepers, giving them the appearance of a male counterpart of the female design.

==Trivia==
* Bird Keepers have only appeared with a bird with them in Generation I, and it was outside of its bird cage.
* {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} are the only games not to have male Bird Keepers; instead, they are female. {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}'s Bird Keepers are once again male, however, and have similar clothing and similarly colored hair to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum's female Bird Keepers, giving them the appearance of a male counterpart of the female design.

:"Those that can, do. Those that can't, complain."
::—{{wp|Linus Torvalds}}

My account's name comes from [[Mayor Es Cade|the ''Pokémon Colosseum'' character]]. I also [[wp:User:Evice|use this username on Wikipedia]]. (Should be obvious that my Wikipedia user page is more complete and less serious than my user page here.) I typically go by GastonRabbit if I'm not going by Evice.

I am an American born on April 21, 1989, and have been playing Pokémon games since I bought [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]] on its (North American) release. I currently own all main Pokémon games released in North America (in English), in addition to a Japanese copy of [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] and a Japanese copy of [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|SoulSilver]].

Other than the games, pretty much the only other Pokémon media I'm into would be the manga (mostly [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]).

I primarily use {{wp|Mozilla Firefox}} as my Web browser and {{wp|Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu}} as my operating system. ({{wp|Windows Vista}}, my secondary operating system, is on a separate partition; I also use Firefox on it.) I use the US International keyboard layout on both operating systems, which makes typing Pokémon easier due to the layout's diacritic support.

[[Youngster|I also like shorts. (They're comfy and easy to wear.)]]

(Despite the above statement, I'd fit better in the [[Super Nerd]] Trainer class.)

==Pokédex==
This is my Pokédex status for the DS games. I might be too lazy to keep it up-to-date at times.
*Diamond: 493 seen/493 caught
*Pearl: 492 seen/492 caught
*Platinum: 492 seen/492 caught
*HeartGold: N/A seen/N/A caught
*SoulSilver (Japanese): 492 seen/492 caught
*SoulSilver (English): N/A seen/N/A caught

Last updated November 26, 2009.

==Party Pokémon==
These are the Pokémon in my parties in the DS games (I'm only listing genders and levels so I don't have to keep everything else up-to-date).
===Diamond===
*{{p|Infernape}} ♂ Lv. 70
*{{p|Staraptor}} ♀ Lv. 68
*{{p|Machamp}} ♂ Lv. 65
*{{p|Golem}} ♀ Lv. 65
*{{p|Golduck}} ♂ Lv. 65
*{{p|Luxray}} ♀ Lv. Lv. 65

The fact that half my party is male and half is female is a coincidence. My levels should make it clear that I did not <s>waste</s> spend as much time with Diamond as with Platinum.
===Pearl===
*{{p|Torterra}} ♀ Lv. 61
*{{p|Machamp}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Staraptor}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Gastrodon}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Luxray}} ♂ Lv. 60
*{{p|Golem}} ♂ Lv. 60

I have no idea why the only female Pokémon I ended up with was the one least likely to be female. Also, I have not played Pearl as much as Diamond and Platinum (especially the latter), hence the lower levels.
===Platinum===
*{{p|Infernape}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Xatu}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Weavile}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Golduck}} ♀ Lv. 100
*{{p|Luxray}} ♂ Lv. 100
*{{p|Linoone}} ♀ Lv. 100

Unlike my level 100 teams in Red and Blue, which were the result of abuse of the [[Rare Candy cheat]], my Platinum levels are the result of lots and lots of wasted time. I went with the same starter as in Diamond because I already had Piplup and didn't want to start with it.

===HeartGold===
*N/A

===SoulSilver (Japanese)===
*{{p|Meganium}} ♂ Lv. 74
*{{p|Noctowl}} ♀ Lv. 70
*{{p|Machamp}} ♀ Lv. 70
*{{p|Quagsire}} ♂ Lv. 71
*{{p|Magnezone}} Lv. 70
*{{p|Arbok}} ♂ Lv. 70

===SoulSilver (English)===
*N/A
