FanOfCountry: /* About Me */

===About Me===
Hello. I am FanOfCountry. I am male and 38 years old. I first was introduced to ''Pokémon'' at the very beginning when the games and anime were first hitting the US and the first ''Pokémon'' game I ever owned was ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red Version]]''. I would later go on to own ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Blue Version]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Yellow|Pokémon Yellow Version]]''. With the second generation of Pokémon I only ended up getting ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver Version]]'' and with the third generation I got all the games from it but I did have one issue come up I lost ''Red'', ''Blue'' and ''Yellow'' long before I got ''Silver'' and ''Silver'', ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby]]'', ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Sapphire]]'', ''[[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]'', ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed]]'' and ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen]]'' were stolen from me. I have since been working on reinstating my game collection and have so far regotten ''Red'', ''Blue'' and ''Silver'' and all the RPG games on the Gameboy Advance. For the first time every though I have actually finally gotten to own ''Crystal'' and have of course gotten all the games on the DS system that have been released and I now own copies of [[Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']]. I first learned of Bulbapedia a few years ago and never really had any interest in editing on it before but I have since come to rely on it a bit. In fact it was thanks to Bulbapedia that I learned of the [[Mew glitch]] that was in ''Red'' and ''Blue'' and I did it (using Method #2) and was for the first time absolutely thrilled to get Mew legitly in the the game (without an actual cheating device) and completed the first 151 Pokémon in the Pokédex of ''Red'' and ''Blue'' for the first time since I originally owned them (I bought a Gameshark to get Mew the first time I owned the games.) Bulbapedia has since taught me some great stuff for the games I own now (such as the [[cloning]] process in ''Gold'' ''Silver'' and ''Crystal''.) So now I have joined up on here. I hope I will be a great contributor for the site. My ultimate favorite Pokémon is, [[Mew]], the mother of all Pokémon.

I have currently completed all the Pokédexes for Generation 1, 2, 4 and 5. And by completed I mean I have captured 151, 251, 493 and 649 on those generation's Pokédex. I am currently working on Generation 6's and am looking for a Gameshark for the GBA to complete the Pokédex in Generation 3.

'''Illusion Confusion!''' (Japanese: '''ホーホーとあやしいもり！''' ''{{tt|Hoho|Hoothoot}} and the Mysterious Forest!'') is the 121st episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 11, 1999, and in the United States on November 4, 2000.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Who would be foolish enough to brave a thick forest in the dead of night without a Hoothoot guide? Certainly not Ash Ketchum, but when he settles for the only guide available—an inept Hoothoot with no sense of direction—maybe he would have been better off alone...

==Plot==
While on their way to [[Violet City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} get lost in the middle of a deep forest. While the others complain about the situation, Ash tells them to follow him, saying their troubles will be over in no time. Despite his optimism, the group is still unable to get out of the forest and {{an|Misty}} becomes increasingly frustrated. As the night settles in, eerie sounds echo from the trees, which appear to gain menacing faces. Frightened by this, the trio runs to another part of the forest. Once again, however, they are confronted with the same trees every way they turn. As they flee, a {{p|Hoothoot}} appears and uses {{m|Foresight}}, returning everything to normal.

Bewildered, the trio stops to catch their breath. Suddenly, {{Gary}} emerges from the trees and tells them that everything they saw and heard was an illusion and commends Hoothoot on a job well done. After scanning Hoothoot with his [[Pokédex]], Ash is mocked by Gary for being unprepared. Gary advises his [[rival]] to get a Hoothoot if he wishes to make it out of the forest. Confused, Misty asks Gary why he is still in the forest if he has a Hoothoot. Gary tells her that he has been busy {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} Pokémon and lost track of the time. After Gary departs, Ash and his friends search for a Hoothoot, but their efforts are in vain.

Out of nowhere, a Hoothoot appears at Misty's feet. Frightened, she shuffles away, but the Owl Pokémon keeps following her. When Ash approaches it, Hoothoot attacks him and runs off. The trio gives chase until they are led to a bizarre stone structure, which {{an|Brock}} believes is another illusion. The trio continues chasing Hoothoot. Just as it appears Hoothoot will get away, Ash instructs {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Before Pikachu could attack, Hoothoot turns around and begins {{m|Peck}}ing Ash's head. Hoothoot stops, looks up, and hops to the side of a very old woman. Brock, convinced that it is an illusion, walks up to it and tells Ash that something that ugly couldn't be real.

Angered, the woman responds to Ash and Brock's discussion, assuring the group that she is real, and introduces herself as [[Hagatha and Nagatha|Hagatha]]. She tells the trio that they will need her help if they want to get out of the forest safely. Back at her house, Hagatha explains that she rents out Hoothoot to people traveling through the forest, as they have the ability to see past the illusions. Unfortunately, she only has one left, and it has never guided a single traveler safely through the forest before. Not wanting to wait until the following morning, Ash picks up Hoothoot, saying that all it needs is a good {{pkmn|Trainer}} like himself. Once again, he is attacked by Hoothoot, who jumps onto Misty's lap. Hagatha explains that since she was the one who trained it, this Hoothoot only gets along with pretty girls. Ash comments that there aren't any pretty girls around, causing him to be glared at by a furious Hagatha and Misty.

Elsewhere, {{TRT}} is also lost in the forest. As Ash and his friends continue with Hoothoot leading the way, Team Rocket decides to steal Pikachu and begins to follow. As Hoothoot leads Ash and his friends back to where the illusions first began, it starts to tremble as blue will-o-wisps begin to appear around them. Ash asks Hoothoot to help, but it doesn't listen. However, when Misty asks, it attempts to use Foresight, but to no avail. Ash tells Hoothoot to try again, but once more, he is ignored. Misty pleads with the {{type|Flying}} to try for her, and it tries again. This time, the will-o-wisps combine to create a flaming ghoul. Terrified, Hoothoot runs off, followed shortly by Ash and his friends. Team Rocket, who cannot see the fireballs, thinks the trio has lost their minds.

Upon reaching safety, Ash talks to Hoothoot about being a Pokémon and not giving up. Misty, feeling sorry for Hoothoot, pleads with it to try again for her next time. Unbeknownst to the trio, a rope makes its way around Pikachu, and the {{type|Electric}} is lifted into the trees. Ash grabs Pikachu, causing the both of them to be pulled up. Team Rocket appears, and after announcing their arrival, they slam Ash into a tree. {{MTR}} locks Pikachu in a box, and the trio begins their escape on a wooden boat along a zip-line. However, after the rope breaks, Team Rocket falls to the ground and Pikachu lands in Ash's arms. Jessie and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, respectively, while Ash calls out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.

However, before Bulbasaur can do anything, Hoothoot starts to shake just as before. Suddenly, a {{p|Dragonite}} appears and Team Rocket gives chase, but Ash and the others cannot see it and are left confused by the trio's behavior. Just then, Ash and his friends find themselves surrounded by multiple copies of Ash. Pikachu, who is confused, responds to Ash by shocking all of them until the real one gets shaken up. Afterwards, a number of different {{t|Bug}} Pokémon begin attacking Misty. Hoothoot runs away, but Ash intervenes and convinces it to help Misty. After Hoothoot uses its [[move]]s, the illusions disappear and a number of {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}} are revealed. The group quickly realizes that the {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon are behind the nightmarish illusions. Misty orders Hoothoot use Foresight again, and the Owl Pokémon follows suit. While the Ghost Pokémon are startled, Bulbasaur lands a {{m|Vine Whip}} and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to frighten them away. Ash congratulates Hoothoot on overcoming its limit, but it responds by pecking him before returning to Misty's side.

The sun rises and the trio finds themselves back standing at a stone structure like the one seen earlier. When they see Hagatha walking towards them, they wonder if they are still lost. She yells that she is actually Hagatha's twin sister [[Hagatha and Nagatha|Nagatha]]. She takes them to her house, where they return Hoothoot. Hagatha calls through the videophone, and is relieved to see Ash's group safe. Ash and his friends depart the forest, and continue onward towards Violet City.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is on an illusory beach, soaking up the sun's rays and failing to realize that it is all an illusion. In reality, they are still in the forest, surrounded by the Ghost Pokémon.

===Movie version===
<ab>''If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could find a way...
What I would do, what I would give if you
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway...
If my tears could bring you back to me...''</ab>

===Full version===
<ab>''How will I start tomorrow without you here?
Whose heart will guide me when all the answers disappear?
Is it too late? Are you too far gone to stay?
Best friends forever, should never have to go away!

What will I do? You know I'm only half without you!
How will I make it through?

If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could find a way...
What I would do, what I would give if you
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway...
If my tears could bring you back to me...

I'd cry you an ocean if you'd sail on home again,
Waves of emotion will carry you I know they can!
Just let love guide you and your heart will chart the course,
Soon you'll be drifting to the arms of your true north!

Look in my eyes, you'll see a million tears have gone by,
And still they're not dry!

If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could find a way...
What I would do, what I would give if you
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway...
If my tears could bring you back to me...

I hold you close and shout the words I only whispered before
For one more chance, for one last dance
There's not a thing that I would not endure

If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could find a way...
What I would do, what I would give if you
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway...
If my tears could bring you back to me...''</ab>

'''A Small Thing''' (Japanese: '''小さきもの''' lit. ''Chiisaki Mono'') is the ending theme to the sixth Pokémon movie, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

In addition to its karaoke version, it was coupled with ''I Want to Be a Swallow'' (and its Mandarin version) it on its single.
In the English dub of the sixth movie, ''Jirachi: Wishmaker'', the original Japanese version of ''A Small Thing'' was combined with an English adaptation for the ending theme. This song is called ''[[Make a Wish]]''.

A music video of the original unedited Japanese version of the song was also included on the English DVD under the ''Make a Wish'' title.

In the Pokémon anime, an instrumental arrangement of it, ''[[Wishing Star of the Seven Nights: Jirachi Music Collection|A Small Thing ~Lullaby~]]'', is among the most played pieces of music from a movie score, being heard even in dubs. The lyrical song was also heard in [[BW132]].

| <ab>''I was just quietly watching
The face of the small one sleeping
There are wrinkles between the eyebrows
If you're having a bad dream, wake up

I remember the summer
When I was hesitating, being afraid of water
I was finally able to swim, being pushed from the back
It is like yesterday

I can hear the voices
They point to the road which I must go
In the wind that flows like a river
I sing alone

The small one
That is me, it's obvious
In the mirror, just this helpless feeling
Becomes tomorrow which won't be beaten by anyone

Like that, I return to my childhood
Little by little
To the days where you praised me for singing
The love songs which I didn't know the meaning to

When I look up at the sky
My voice becomes full
In the wind that flows like a river
You should fly up

I can hear the voices
They point to the road which I must go
In the wind that flows like a river
I sing alone

Important things are only close by, that is what I realized

When I look up at the sky my voice becomes full
In the wind that flows like a river
You should fly up too

I can hear the voices
They point to the road which I must go
In the wind that flows like a river
I sing alone''</ab>

'''A Small Thing''' (Japanese: '''小さきもの''' lit. ''Chiisaki Mono'') is the ending theme to the sixth Pokémon movie, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

In addition to its karaoke version, it was coupled with ''I Want to Be a Swallow'' (and its Mandarin version) it on its single.
In the English dub of the sixth movie, ''Jirachi: Wishmaker'', the original Japanese version of ''A Small Thing'' was combined with an English adaptation for the ending theme. This song is called ''[[Make a Wish]]''.

A music video of the original unedited Japanese version of the song was also included on the English DVD under the ''Make a Wish'' title.

In the Pokémon anime, an instrumental arrangement of it, ''[[Wishing Star of the Seven Nights: Jirachi Music Collection|A Small Thing ~Lullaby~]]'', is among the most played pieces of music from a movie score, being heard even in dubs. The lyrical song was also heard in [[BW132]].

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Crystal}}

'''Pokémon Crystal Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスタークリスタルバージョン|Poketto Monsutā Kurisutaru Bājon}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Crystal Version'') is the third and final [[Generation II]] [[core series]] game for [[Game Boy Color]]. It was released as a sister game to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, which were released one year before. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2000, in North America on July 29, 2001, and in Europe on November 2, 2001.

It featured various fixes and some new additions, most notably the introduction of the option to {{player|play}} as a {{ga|Kris|girl}}. It takes place in the region of [[Johto]] like Gold and Silver, with access to [[Kanto]] granted later in the game, with the player's starting town being [[New Bark Town]].

The Japanese version, so far the only one to have the term ''Version'' (Japanese: {{tt|バージョン|Bājon}}) in its name, had far more new features, all related to a {{wp|mobile phone}}-related linking technology usable through the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] when connecting a [[Mobile Adapter GB]] to a [[Game Boy Color]] (also compatible with the [[Game Boy Advance]]).

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The player is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand. He provides the player with one of three Pokémon: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to help him/her get to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house. The player (known by default as {{ga|Ethan|Gold}} or {{ga|Kris}}, depending on the gender) meets [[Kanto]]'s own [[Professor Oak]] during the errand for Elm. Oak, convinced that the player has started his/her own Pokémon journey, gives him/her a [[Pokédex]]. On the way back, the player is attacked by a spiteful and {{ga|Silver|mysterious Pokémon Trainer}}. Upon his/her return to New Bark Town, the player is informed that someone has broken into Professor Elm's lab and has stolen a Pokémon, the same Pokémon that the Trainer from earlier battled with (the Pokémon that the player's starter is weak against); even more so, that very same Trainer fits the description of the Pokémon thief. This Trainer will become the player's [[rival]] for the course of the game, having several conflicts with the player as to what it means to be the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer.

[[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the [[Johto]] region. They begin with petty things (such as cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}} to sell as food for a high price) before becoming more devious, such as a plan to use radio frequencies to artificially induce evolution in some Pokémon at the Lake of Rage near Mahogany town. When the player defeats or captures the [[Red Gyarados|Red]] {{p|Gyarados}} rampaging in the lake, [[Lance]] will arrive and congratulate the player for his/her battling and requests that the player help him find the source of the radio signals. When the player returns to Mahogany town and enters the Souvenir Shop, he/she will find Lance and his {{p|Dragonite}} threatening the man in the shop. A secret door will open to the Rocket base, which was revealed by a Rocket Grunt to be an old ninja hideout. After the player defeats the Rocket Executive found in the hideout, Lance asks the player to help him knock out the Electrodes powering the machine producing the radio waves.

After completing this task, Lance thanks the player and gives him/her the HM {{m|Whirlpool}}. After the player defeats [[Pryce]] - the leader of Mahogany Gym - Professor Elm will call the player and tell him/her about unusual broadcasts from the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. When the player reaches Goldenrod City, it is revealed that Team Rocket has taken over the Radio Tower, their intent being to try to contact their missing leader, [[Giovanni]], and persuade him to return to Team Rocket. Also, the Director of the Goldenrod station has been kidnapped and replaced by an impostor. After the player defeats the impostor, he will tell him/her the location of the real Director. When the player frees the real Director, he will give the player the Card Key, which opens the door on 3F of the Radio Tower and leads to the Rocket Executive currently in charge of the group. The player defeats the executive and Team Rocket officially disbands for a second time. The Director rewards the player with a [[Clear Bell]].

Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across {{p|Suicune}}, a legendary Pokémon that traverses Johto after the player awakens the three [[legendary beasts]] from their sleep at the [[Burned Tower]]. Unlike {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, Suicune takes notice of the player; similarly, [[Eusine]] shows interest in Suicune, having sought it for ten years and finally taking a glimpse at it thanks to the player. As Eusine challenges the player to a battle near [[Cianwood City]], it becomes clear that Eusine wants to earn Suicune's respect so that he can find out what it is that it looks after. However, it is when the player is entrusted with the Clear Bell that the {{tc|Sage|Wise Trio}} allow them to enter the Tin Tower, where Suicune has arrived to put them to the test. Later in the story, after the player has proven their ability to touch the souls of Pokémon by catching all three of the legendary beasts, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tin Tower after 150 years of testing humans from afar.

As in all previous games, the main goal of the player is to defeat all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Johto, win all eight Badges, and take on the {{jo|Elite Four}} and the current [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. Afterward, the player will be able to travel to the region of [[Kanto]] and take on the Kanto Gym Leaders for their Badges. After winning all eight badges, Professor Oak will give the player permission to go to [[Mt. Silver]] and face the protagonist from [[Generation I]], {{ga|Red}}.

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* Extra grass was added to the route west of [[Violet City]], and in this grass, {{p|Growlithe}} can be caught, allowing players to acquire a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon much earlier than in other versions (assuming they did not [[Starter Pokémon|choose]] {{p|Cyndaquil}}), and making a large difference in the availability of Fire-types for areas like the {{to|Azalea}} Gym and the [[Sprout Tower]], where Fire-types are super-effective.
* The [[Ice Path]] was redesigned with an ice-like appearance. Some of its puzzles were also changed.
* The [[Burned Tower]] was redesigned on the exterior and interior. The outside was altered to look more liked a burned building rather than a short one (see the Burned Tower page for more information).
* [[Lance]]'s room at the [[Indigo Plateau]] was redesigned to have a draconic appearance, with the statues in the room being replaced with {{p|Dratini}} statues.
* Raikou, Entei, and Suicune have their own special battle music when the player encounters them in the wild, making Crystal the first game to sport special [[legendary Pokémon]] battle music.
* The [[Dragon's Den]] was subtly altered; now the Dragon Shrine is open, and some {{m|Headbutt}} trees were added to the back of the Shrine.
* The [[Goldenrod Department Store]] had a roof area added.
* Pokémon sprites are now animated, a feature that would not be seen again until {{game|Emerald}}.
* Certain Pokémon, such as {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Croconaw}}, were given new sprites; Pokémon like {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Suicune}}, which had identical sprites in Gold and Silver, had those sprites refurbished; the W {{p|Unown}} was redesigned (its new design was used in all future games). However, most Pokémon retained their sprites from either Gold or Silver.
* A few Pokémon, such as {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Sneasel}}, were recolored to more closely match their official artwork.
** {{p|Typhlosion}}, as well as the aforementioned W {{p|Unown}} and several of the aforementioned Pokémon that were redrawn, all have new back sprites.
* The user interface used during link cable trades was redesigned. Gold and Silver used a simple black on white trading interface that was identical to the one used in the [[Generation I]] games, mainly to retain compatibility with older [[Game Boy]] systems. In Crystal, the menus were revamped with full color on a black background, a design which better suits the capabilities of the Game Boy Color.
* A fountain was added to the center of the pond in the [[National Park]].
* The inside of [[Mt. Mortar]] was changed.
* Certain Trainers have their dialogue changed.

===Location changes===
* {{p|Sneasel}} appears in the [[Ice Path]], whereas in Gold and Silver, it did not appear until reaching [[Mt. Silver]].
* {{p|Magmar}} no longer appears in the [[Burned Tower]], instead appearing exclusively in Mt. Silver.
* Some Trainers were repositioned on the map.
* Some of the wild Pokémon that appear in [[Kanto]] were altered.

===Gameplay changes===
* A female [[player character]], {{ga|Kris}}, was introduced, marking the first time players could choose the gender of their character.
* Another character, [[Eusine]], is added to the game. He is searching for {{p|Suicune}} as well, and will battle [[Player character|the player]] to earn its respect.
* Ho-Oh cannot be caught until {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} are all caught.
* Changes were made to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. This included more common {{p|Unown}}, as well as a new subplot-– completing enough puzzles allows the player to read a secret message left behind by the Unown. It suggests that the Unown were left behind by the ancient civilization that constructed the Ruins of Alph, and that the statues that line the interior were made by those people.
[[File:CrystalBattle.png|frame|right|Pokémon sprites are now animated.]]
* Players can now catch certain Pokémon that were exclusive to either Gold or Silver. For example, {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Skarmory}} are both catchable in the game, but were exclusive to only Gold and Silver, respectively.
* Previously, Trainers who called on the [[Pokégear#Phone|cell phone]] all said the same phrase, with only the names of the Pokémon they reference changing. Trainers are now given distinct personalities (one talks about shopping, another about grooming), and call for reasons other than battling, such as giving the player items, or informing them of a rare Pokémon appearing (Wade gives the player [[Berry|Berries]], Alan gives them a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, etc.).
* Suicune, instead of being a side legendary Pokémon, has a prominent role in the game's storyline. The player will constantly find Suicune in various locations throughout Johto. After receiving a [[Clear Bell]] (where in Gold and Silver, the {{key|II|Rainbow Wing|Rainbow}} or {{key|II|Silver Wing}} would be obtained instead), the player will have a chance to battle and capture it in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], and it will not run away.
* The [[Buena's Password]] radio show was added, which players can listen to on their [[Pokégear]] and receive points in order to redeem prizes.
* The new rooftop area of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] has occasional sales, which the player is informed about if Camper Todd's number is registered in the [[Pokégear]].
* The chain of events to obtain the {{badge|Rising}} is altered. Where previously, it involved a trip to the [[Dragon's Den]] to retrieve the [[Dragon Fang]], it now involves entering the Dragon Shrine within the Den. There, [[Clair]]'s grandfather and leader of the dragon-user clan quizzes the player on their style of battling. Clair arrives and still refuses to hand over her Badge after the player passes. In response, her grandfather threatens to tell Lance, of whom Clair is terrified. If all the questions are answered correctly, the player will receive a {{p|Dratini}} that knows {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} upon returning and speaking with Clair's grandfather.
* The function to reset the clock from Gold and Silver remains, although it is now more difficult to access.
** The player must first hold Down+Select+B.
** While holding Select, they must release Down and B.
** Still holding Select, they must now hold Left and Up.
** Finally, the player must release Select.
* [[Kurt]] can now make multiple Balls from same colored [[Apricorn]]s simultaneously.
* The [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]] now gives the player an {{DL|Pokémon Egg|Odd Egg}}.
* A new Trainer, Pokéfan Jaime, is added to the game; she is on {{rt|39|Johto}} and can only be battled at night.
* Some Pokémon have changed level-up movesets, however, all {{p|Suicune|but one}} of them have only one change.

===Pokémon not found in Crystal===
These Pokémon must be traded from the other games of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}, as they cannot be found in Pokémon Crystal.

==Localization changes==
The localized releases of Crystal, while improving on the mechanics of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, did not reprise a number of newer features that the Japanese version had received:

* In the Japanese version, {{p|Celebi}} may be caught at [[Ilex Forest]] after completing a short side-mission. A special [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] [[Event Pokémon|event]] allowed {{player}}s to obtain the [[GS Ball]]. This item, given by a nurse at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]], may be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to investigate. After a day passes, Kurt gives back the GS Ball to the player and asks him/her to check the restless Ilex Forest. Taking the GS Ball to the shrine at Ilex Forest summons a [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to {{pkmn|battle}}. Despite the fact that the GS Ball was unavailable overseas without [[cheating]] or modification of the {{wp|saved game}}, the event was translated and adapted to the regular [[Pokémon Center]] in Goldenrod City from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, indicating that it was intended for the localizations to include the event, but was later scrapped.
* Goldenrod City's Pokémon Center was replaced by a much larger building, the aforementioned Pokémon Communication Center. Other than reverting the change from the Japanese Crystal back to a regular Pokémon Center in the localizations, the GS Ball event was also adapted to it but left unused, as mentioned above.
* Players could link to [[trade]] or battle through the use of the [[Mobile Adapter GB]].
* Players could leave a Pokémon and a request the Pokémon species that it be traded for at the Pokémon Communication Center's Trade Corner. A player could also view Pokémon up for trade from other players, and trade with them. This feature was later used for the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]] in [[Generation IV|Generations IV]], {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}}.
* The News Machine at the Pokémon Communication Center updated over the Pokémon Mobile System GB. Pokémon News was compiled from the saved game data of players across Japan, allowing players to read about other players' adventures.
* The [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]] at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} gave an {{key|II|Egg Ticket}} which, when taken to the Trade Corner at the Pokémon Communication Center, could be traded for an {{pkmn|Egg#Odd Egg|Odd Egg}} which carried a rare {{Shiny}} [[Baby Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. In the localizations, the Day-Care Man instead gives away the Odd Egg himself.

==Legacy==
While Gold and Silver introduced the majority of Generation II's contributions to the game mechanics, Crystal also featured several additions to the franchise that continue into the future. First, Crystal introduced the option to play as a female. The game also featured the first [[Move Tutor]] of the series, as well as the first {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}}. This was the first game to include animated sprites for Pokémon, though this only applied to front sprites (back sprites remained still as they did in previous games). This feature was absent in later games until it was reintroduced in {{game|Emerald}}, after which it became standard. Back sprites did not become fully animated until {{game|Platinum}}, which also added animations for important Trainers such as [[Gym Leader]]s. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, sprites remain animated throughout the battle; before these games, Pokémon Crystal was the only game that had more than two frames per animation.

Even though {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were the first games to use [[legendary Pokémon]] (specifically {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}) as [[version mascot]]s, it was Crystal that incorporated them into the plot for the first time. The story additions involving the [[legendary beasts]] (most prominently {{p|Suicune}}), Ho-Oh and {{p|Unown}} were unprecedented, since up until then no Pokémon had been referenced in the dialogue on more than one occasion. This was also evident in the fact that the legendary beasts received a unique battle theme, and in that the plot climax was no longer limited to thwarting [[Team Rocket]], instead culminating in the battle against Suicune at [[Tin Tower]]. Later generations focus on their version mascots as part of the plot involving the [[villainous team]] of the respective region (with the only exception being the remade versions; {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} follow {{game|Red and Green|s}}'s footsteps, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are similar to Crystal in keeping the two stories separated).

The Japanese version of Crystal notably introduced the ability to link to a wireless connection and interact with other characters (via cell phone). The [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] also enabled this ability in [[Generation III]] (albeit to a far lesser extent, due to the Wireless Adapter's limited range), and the Wi-Fi capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS]] completely optimized the concept in [[Generation IV]] games. The [[GS Ball]] event was the first time where an [[event Pokémon]] (in this case {{p|Celebi}}) could be caught in-game as opposed to being directly downloaded to the cartridge; this went on to be the case for several such Pokémon in subsequent generations.

==Reception==
Pokémon Crystal received good reviews, although they were not quite as positive as those of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Like Pokémon Yellow before it, and subsequently Pokémon Emerald, it was criticized for being too similar to its sister games, with IGN commenting, "there's not much in this edition that makes it a 'must buy' for folks who already own a copy or two of the previous editions".<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/165/165402p1.html IGN: Pokemon Crystal Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> IGN still gave the game an "Outstanding" rating of 9/10.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/015/015402.html IGN: Pokemon Crystal Version (Pokemon Crystal)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> The game received an average score of near 80% from GameRankings<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/375087-pokemon-crystal-version/index.html Pokemon Crystal Version for Game Boy Color - GameRankings] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>, about 10% lower than Pokémon Gold and Silver.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/198308-pokemon-gold-version/index.html Pokemon Gold Version for Game Boy Color] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

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

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection}}
Most of the game's music comes from Pokémon Gold and Silver, which are the only paired versions that do not have any sort of official soundtrack release of the games' original tracks. The closest approximation to such a release is Disc 3 of ''Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection'', which is based on the [[GB Sounds]] feature of HeartGold and SoulSilver that is meant to emulate the style of 8-bit music. However, not all of the GB Sounds music is available on the CD. Additionally, Discs 1 and 2 of the aforementioned soundtrack contain remixes of the music originating from Pokémon Gold and Silver. Moreover, several tracks that are exclusive to Pokémon Crystal have not received official releases.

==Beta elements==

==Trivia==
[[File:Crystal ellipsis.png|thumb|200px|right|The ellipsis in the battles.]]
* This game was originally known as "Pokémon X" prior to its release. [[Pokémon X and Y|Another core series Pokémon game]] would later go on to use this title.
* People buying a [[Game Boy Color]] during the release of this game were given the option of buying a [[Game Boy Advance]] that came with Pokémon Crystal in the package.
* Due to the {{ga|Kris|female character}} not being in Gold or Silver, the sprite of the character will automatically change to the {{ga|Ethan|male character}}'s sprite when trading or battling with another game.
* During battles, ellipses are not aligned to the rest of the text, instead appearing higher, as can be seen in the image at the right.
* Why the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB|Mobile Adapter]] features were not made available in the English version has never been officially revealed; Nintendo says that they had FCC issues, but it is more likely a result of children with cell phones being not nearly as common outside of Japan in 2001, and there being a plethora of different styles of phones in use in North America. While the Mobile Adapter system did not make the cut, the maps and text for the system can still be found in the English version, indicating that it was initially intended for the English release.
* The game's opening shows several {{p|Unown}} communicating with {{p|Suicune}} over radio waves, alerting it to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Oddly, this is not part of the game's story, with the Ruins of Alph sidequest being independent of the plot involving Suicune. That said, the Unown are referenced by the {{tc|Sage|Wise Trio}} as having a cooperative bond with Suicune.
* Although {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} are compatible with all [[Game Boy]] models (original up to the [[Game Boy Advance SP]]), Crystal will not work on models prior to the [[Game Boy Color]]. This is due to the cartridges being of different models.
* Pokémon Crystal is the only version in Japanese to have the term "Version" in its name. This may be because it is the first game whose name is completely in katakana, rather than kanji, that uses an English word, クリスタル ''Crystal'', instead of the Japanese equivalent {{tt|結晶|けっしょう}} ''Kessho''. All later games, whose names are in katakana (including the remakes of Red and Green and Gold and Silver) do not have バージョン ''Version'' added to the end, despite all using English words.
* This is the last core series game to use the slogan ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]''.

==Plot==
{{incomplete|section}}

==Blurb==
The next evolution in Pokémon! 
New Pokémon! Explosive 3D battles! Exciting New Features!

==Features==
===3D compatible gameplay===
Unlike previous games in the main series, Pokémon X and Y feature a three dimensional style of gameplay, and 3D modeled characters and creatures are used, rather than sprites like has always been done in the main series. In addition, the games still feature 2D elements of gameplay. The battle system is aesthetically overhauled, featuring more lively reactions to the attacks, such as when a Pokémon is being hit.

===Renames===
{{main|List of modified moves#Name changes|List of modified moves → Name changes}}
In non-Japanese languages, many move and item names are now spelled or formatted differently. For example, ThunderShock is now formatted as {{m|Thunder Shock}} and Faint Attack is now spelled {{m|Feint Attack}}.

===Transportation===
Players can now walk on an 8 directional grid, allowing diagonal movement, as opposed to the four way grid in previous games.

The player now has the ability to rollerskate, at least under certain conditions, and can also free roam on no grid. This also works with the bike. The player can use the roller skates and can grind to overcome [[Bike obstacles|obstacles]]. {{p|Skiddo}}, {{p|Mamoswine}}, and {{p|Rhyhorn}} can be ridden in certain locations and allow the player to interact with the environment, by destroying rocks and crossing broken paths. {{p|Gogoat}} can also be ridden, although only around [[Lumiose City]] in a set path.

===Player Search System===
{{main|Player Search System}}
The Player Search System (PSS) is a multiplayer feature that allows people to connect, battle, and trade with other players through the internet. It uses the bottom screen and allows the player to search for other people playing both globally and locally.

===Pokémon-Amie===
{{main|Pokémon-Amie}}
Pokémon-Amie is a new feature that allows the player to develop stronger bonds with their Pokémon. It uses the touch screen to allow players to pet, feed, and play with Pokémon currently on their team. Players may interact with their Pokémon by petting or feeding them via the touchscreen or mimicking their movements using the camera.

===Sky Battles===
{{main|Sky Battle}}
Sky Battles are battles which are restricted to {{t|Flying}} Pokémon, although some Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} can enter. These airborne battles take place against Trainers standing far away, such as on cliffs.

===Horde Encounters===
{{main|Horde Encounter}}
It is now possible to encounter several wild Pokémon at once. Up to five wild Pokémon will battle against one of the player's Pokémon. These battles offer a lot of experience. Some attacks, such as {{m|Rock Slide}}, are shown to hit all five of the opposing Pokémon. However, after the player's turn, their Pokémon must withstand attacks from all five of the opposing Pokémon.

===Super Training===
{{main|Super Training}}
Super Training is a new method of quickly and easily increasing a Pokémon's [[Effort values|EVs]].

===New type===
{{main|Fairy (type)}}
One new [[type]] has been introduced, the {{t|Fairy}} type. This type was added to balance the {{t|Dragon}} type, which was previously only weak to itself and {{t|Ice}}. Fairy-type attacks are strong against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}} types and resisted by {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Poison}}, and {{t|Steel}} types; Fairy-type Pokémon are weak to Poison- and Steel-type attacks, resist Fighting-, {{t|Bug}}-, and Dark-type attacks, and are immune to Dragon-type attacks.

===Trainer customization===
{{main|Trainer customization}}
The player will now be able to change their appearance in-game, allowing them to customize their characters by changing their hair color and [[clothing]].

===Gyms===
X and Y feature [[Gym]]s just as every other main series title. In Kalos, the Gym Leaders are [[Viola]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Grant]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Korrina]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Ramos]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Clemont]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Valerie]] ({{t|Fairy}}), [[Olympia]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Wulfric]] ({{t|Ice}}).

===Elite Four and Champion===
Just as in Unova, the Elite Four can be battled in any order. After battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Wikstrom]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Malva]] ({{t|Fire}}), [[Drasna]] ({{t|Dragon}}), and [[Siebold]] ({{t|Water}}). After beating all four Elite Four members, the player will face the Champion, [[Diantha]], who uses a variety of types along with a {{p|Gardevoir}} which can Mega Evolve.

===Pokémon===
:''See [[:Category:Generation VI Pokémon]]''
70 new Pokémon were introduced for X and Y, bringing the known total from 649 to 719.

The first Pokémon to be revealed were {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} on January 8, 2013.

====Mega Evolution====
{{main|Mega Evolution}}
A unique state, Mega Evolution, was introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Mega Evolution is a temporary in-battle transformation that results in an overall increase in stats, sometimes also changing a Pokémon's [[Ability]] and [[type]]s. Not all Pokémon can Mega Evolve. A Pokémon can only Mega Evolve if it is holding a [[Mega Stone]] in battle and its Trainer has a [[Mega Ring|Key Stone]].

====Version-exclusive Pokémon====
This list of version-exclusive Pokémon applies to the main game. Some of the Pokémon listed can be found in the [[Friend Safari]] regardless of version.

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: Super Music Collection}}

The soundtrack contains most of the background music and effect music from the games. The music is composed by [[Shota Kageyama]] (Sound Director of Pokémon X & Y), [[Hitomi Satō]], [[Minako Adachi]], and [[Junichi Masuda]]. Pokémon X & Pokémon Y are the first main series titles since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} that [[Gō Ichinose]] did not work on as a composer, since he shifted to a side project of Game Freak's during the development of Pokémon X & Y.

==Trivia==
* These are the only [[core series]] games that do not have ''Version'' (or its equivalent in that language) in their Western language names.
* These are the only [[core series]] games to be released on the same date worldwide.
* These are the second [[core series]] games to have Pikachu's cry be its name instead of its battle cry, the first being [[Pokémon Yellow Version]].

==Plot==
{{incomplete|section}}

==Blurb==
The next evolution in Pokémon! 
New Pokémon! Explosive 3D battles! Exciting New Features!

==Features==
===3D compatible gameplay===
Unlike previous games in the main series, Pokémon X and Y feature a three dimensional style of gameplay, and 3D modeled characters and creatures are used, rather than sprites like has always been done in the main series. In addition, the games still feature 2D elements of gameplay. The battle system is aesthetically overhauled, featuring more lively reactions to the attacks, such as when a Pokémon is being hit.

===Renames===
{{main|List of modified moves#Name changes|List of modified moves → Name changes}}
In non-Japanese languages, many move and item names are now spelled or formatted differently. For example, ThunderShock is now formatted as {{m|Thunder Shock}} and Faint Attack is now spelled {{m|Feint Attack}}.

===Transportation===
Players can now walk on an 8 directional grid, allowing diagonal movement, as opposed to the four way grid in previous games.

The player now has the ability to rollerskate, at least under certain conditions, and can also free roam on no grid. This also works with the bike. The player can use the roller skates and can grind to overcome [[Bike obstacles|obstacles]]. {{p|Skiddo}}, {{p|Mamoswine}}, and {{p|Rhyhorn}} can be ridden in certain locations and allow the player to interact with the environment, by destroying rocks and crossing broken paths. {{p|Gogoat}} can also be ridden, although only around [[Lumiose City]] in a set path.

===Player Search System===
{{main|Player Search System}}
The Player Search System (PSS) is a multiplayer feature that allows people to connect, battle, and trade with other players through the internet. It uses the bottom screen and allows the player to search for other people playing both globally and locally.

===Pokémon-Amie===
{{main|Pokémon-Amie}}
Pokémon-Amie is a new feature that allows the player to develop stronger bonds with their Pokémon. It uses the touch screen to allow players to pet, feed, and play with Pokémon currently on their team. Players may interact with their Pokémon by petting or feeding them via the touchscreen or mimicking their movements using the camera.

===Sky Battles===
{{main|Sky Battle}}
Sky Battles are battles which are restricted to {{t|Flying}} Pokémon, although some Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} can enter. These airborne battles take place against Trainers standing far away, such as on cliffs.

===Horde Encounters===
{{main|Horde Encounter}}
It is now possible to encounter several wild Pokémon at once. Up to five wild Pokémon will battle against one of the player's Pokémon. These battles offer a lot of experience. Some attacks, such as {{m|Rock Slide}}, are shown to hit all five of the opposing Pokémon. However, after the player's turn, their Pokémon must withstand attacks from all five of the opposing Pokémon.

===Super Training===
{{main|Super Training}}
Super Training is a new method of quickly and easily increasing a Pokémon's [[Effort values|EVs]].

===New type===
{{main|Fairy (type)}}
One new [[type]] has been introduced, the {{t|Fairy}} type. This type was added to balance the {{t|Dragon}} type, which was previously only weak to itself and {{t|Ice}}. Fairy-type attacks are strong against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}} types and resisted by {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Poison}}, and {{t|Steel}} types; Fairy-type Pokémon are weak to Poison- and Steel-type attacks, resist Fighting-, {{t|Bug}}-, and Dark-type attacks, and are immune to Dragon-type attacks.

===Trainer customization===
{{main|Trainer customization}}
The player will now be able to change their appearance in-game, allowing them to customize their characters by changing their hair color and [[clothing]].

===Gyms===
X and Y feature [[Gym]]s just as every other main series title. In Kalos, the Gym Leaders are [[Viola]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Grant]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Korrina]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Ramos]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Clemont]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Valerie]] ({{t|Fairy}}), [[Olympia]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Wulfric]] ({{t|Ice}}).

===Elite Four and Champion===
Just as in Unova, the Elite Four can be battled in any order. After battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Wikstrom]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Malva]] ({{t|Fire}}), [[Drasna]] ({{t|Dragon}}), and [[Siebold]] ({{t|Water}}). After beating all four Elite Four members, the player will face the Champion, [[Diantha]], who uses a variety of types along with a {{p|Gardevoir}} which can Mega Evolve.

===Pokémon===
:''See [[:Category:Generation VI Pokémon]]''
70 new Pokémon were introduced for X and Y, bringing the known total from 649 to 719.

The first Pokémon to be revealed were {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} on January 8, 2013.

====Mega Evolution====
{{main|Mega Evolution}}
A unique state, Mega Evolution, was introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Mega Evolution is a temporary in-battle transformation that results in an overall increase in stats, sometimes also changing a Pokémon's [[Ability]] and [[type]]s. Not all Pokémon can Mega Evolve. A Pokémon can only Mega Evolve if it is holding a [[Mega Stone]] in battle and its Trainer has a [[Mega Ring|Key Stone]].

====Version-exclusive Pokémon====
This list of version-exclusive Pokémon applies to the main game. Some of the Pokémon listed can be found in the [[Friend Safari]] regardless of version.

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: Super Music Collection}}

The soundtrack contains most of the background music and effect music from the games. The music is composed by [[Shota Kageyama]] (Sound Director of Pokémon X & Y), [[Hitomi Satō]], [[Minako Adachi]], and [[Junichi Masuda]]. Pokémon X & Pokémon Y are the first main series titles since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} that [[Gō Ichinose]] did not work on as a composer, since he shifted to a side project of Game Freak's during the development of Pokémon X & Y.

Team Rocket motto

2014-04-19T20:54:46Z

FanOfCountry:

{{incomplete|needs=More variations of the original motto in Best Wishes series; Japanese lyrics and their translations for Butch and Cassidy's mottos}}
[[File:Team Rocket motto.png|thumb|300px|right|At the end of a motto]]
The '''Team Rocket motto''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}の{{tt|名乗|なの}}り''' ''Rocket Gang's self-introduction'') is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.

==In the anime==
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past. This motto would usually be said by all members of the trio, but when one of them is not present, another member takes their line.

Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has been rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!

Also, in almost all episodes after the Orange League, they tend to alter the first two sentences to match the current situation.

Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|first season]].

There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music. Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.

This version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts at which Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light."

Team Rocket returned to this motto in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]'', as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.

From ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' onwards, Team Rocket started using this motto again, after having failed in their [[BW096|latest]] [[BW097|operation]] and making a brief retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Some slight changes in the dubbed version are that, the first lines are recited in most cases as "Prepare for trouble, ''you know the drill''", "And make it double, ''you'll get your fill''", and James now says "To unite ''the people'' within our nation", instead of "To unite ''all peoples'' within our nation".

====Variations in the [[original series]]====
{| width="100%" class="expandable"
|-
|Click [show] to see the variations.
|-
|
=====''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' motto=====
In this episode James was depressed while saying his lines of the motto due to the fact that he was conned by the [[Magikarp Salesman]].

=====''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'' motto=====
As James was under the trance of {{p|Gastly}} he was not present with Jessie and Meowth when they encountered the twerps, and Jessie was left to say most of the motto herself. However, James later reacted to hearing the motto, and made his whereabouts known by saying his last three lines.

=====''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'' motto=====
In this episode Team Rocket opens "Salon Roquet" and for this reason introduces itself with a special motto.

:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from boring fashion!
:'''James:''' To dress all people with flash and passion!
:'''Jessie:''' To give all Pokémon pretty faces!
:'''James:''' To extend our art to outer spaces!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Salon Roquet! When it comes to chic we know what's right!
:'''James:''' Surrender your taste or prepare to fight!

=====''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' motto=====
In this episode, Team Rocket has followed Ash and his friends to Professor Oak's Laboratory. When they start singing their motto, Meowth is constantly trying to get a phrase for himself.

:'''Meowth:''' May I invite you to prepare...
:'''Jessie and James:''' For trouble!
:'''Meowth:''' Yeah! And while you're at it, you're better make it a triple!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth...!
:'''Jessie (''thrashes Meowth to the ground''):''' You stay out of this, Meowth!
:'''James (''thrashes Meowth''):''' Stop stealing our material!
:'''Meowth:''' All right, all right!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fight for that {{AP|Pikachu}}!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right!

=====''[[EP077|Fourth Round Rumble]]'' motto=====
In this episode, Team Rocket starts to sell fake Badges to Trainers in the Indigo Plateau. Near the end of the episode, they realize that they are much more successful selling stuff than when they are stealing stuff. At some point, Meowth says that they will eventually open a fast-food restaurant. This is the following dialogue:

:'''Jessie:''' That's not a bad idea. We can call it "Jessie's"
:'''James:''' "James's"
:'''Jessie:''' Want a burger and fries without trouble?
:'''James:''' If you are really hungry make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from hunger and thirst.
:'''James:''' Our food isn't bad, at least not the worst.
:'''Jessie:''' The Team Rocket Restaurant blasting for a bite
:'''Jessie and James:''' We stay open all day, we stay open all night!

This variation is a heavy variation of the usual motto and sounds like a restaurant motto.

=====''[[EP096|Meowth Rules!]]'' motto=====
In this episode Meowth, being hit by {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Water Gun}}, flies up and falls on an island where a strange tribe that worships Meowth lives. Almost in the end of the episode when Meowth feels lonely and says he misses [[Jessie]] and [[James]], they both appear and recite a special version of their motto for Meowth. At the same time, the tribal priest and high priest beg Meowth to stay with the tribe.

:'''The priest:''' Great One, our people need you here!
:'''Jessie:''' I'm the one who needs you too!
:'''James:''' Make it double, we both need you!
:'''Jessie:''' You protect us both from desperation!
:'''James:''' You unite us all in jubilation!
:'''Jessie:''' You help chase away our loneliness!
:'''James:''' You're a mess, but we love you nevertheless!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket's friendship never ends!
:'''James:''' So let's set sail on our ship of friends!

=====''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' motto=====
Since Jessie gets her hair cut short by a wild {{p|Scyther}} in this episode, [[Team Rocket]] recites a special motto.

:'''Jessie:''' You insult my hair? Prepare for trouble!
:'''James:''' It used to be there but now it's stubble!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect my head from humiliation!
:'''James:''' Too bad her hair went on vacation!
:'''Jessie:''' My gorgeous hair was my one true love!
:'''James:''' They went together like a hand and glove!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Now my hair is short but it won't be for long!
:'''James:''' And it won't stop our Jessie from doing what's wrong!
:'''Meowth:''' Hairy!

=====''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' motto=====
Team Rocket comes down from a cliff along a zip-line, but just when they are about to recite their names, Jessie and James crash into a tree and become a bit dizzy.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''James:''' Make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Jessie (''crashes into a tree mid-word''):''' Jes-!
:'''James (''also crashes into the tree mid-word''):''' Ja-!
:'''Jessie (''dizzy''):''' Team Blocket... rest off at the lead of spite... tonight...
:'''James (''dizzy''):''' Surrender now or prepare... to surrender now... surrender now...
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! Say the motto right!
''Meowth scratches both Jessie and James to their faces''
:'''Meowth:''' We didn't mean to wake 'em all, but now we're gonna take 'em all!
:'''Jessie & James:''' Well said, Meowth!

=====''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'' motto=====
Pretending to be baseball fans, Team Rocket recites the following motto upon stealing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Casey's Meganium|Casey's Chikorita]] (both were later freed).

:'''Jessie:''' Attention, [[twerp]]s, it's prepare-for-trouble day!
:'''James:''' But you're both out, what makes it a double play!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect our team from devastation!
:'''James:''' To excite our side with a big ovation!
:'''Jessie:''' To strike out the evils of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach with a baseball glove!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket throws their fastballs at the speed of light!
''James catches a ball thrown by Jessie''
:'''Meowth:''' Strike Three!
''Jessie and James throw themselves into each other's arms''
:'''James:''' We won, Jessie!
:'''Jessie:''' James!
:'''James:''' Jessie!
:'''Meowth (''with tears in his face''):''' That's... right!

=====''[[EP123|Spinarak Attack]]'' motto=====
In this episode Jessie and James try to imitate The Black Arachnid, a well-known burglar. Upon breaking into a rich mansion and seizing a valuable trophy, they introduce themselves to the stunned witnesses with the following motto.

:'''Ash:''' How did they get in?!
:'''Jessie:''' Check your eyes and prepare for trouble!
:'''James:''' We've got the prize, so make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from its own greed!
:'''James:''' To steal all the treasure that they don't need!
:'''Jessie:''' To work every heist like there are none other!
:'''James:''' And split the spoils with one another!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Thieves return under cover of night!
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

=====''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'' motto=====
After quickly taking [[Ash's Bayleef|Chikorita]] off the Pokémon Center dressed as doctors, Nurse Joy ask where they are from. They respond with a variation of their motto:

:'''Jessie:''' We are from the team that causes trouble
:'''James:''' I hope you're insured 'cause we make it double.
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Jessie:''' Doctor Jessie!
:'''James:''' Doctor James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket doctors, blast off at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Surrender now, because we're not making anymore house calls.
:'''Meowth:''' You got that right!

=====''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'' motto=====
In this episode, {{Ash}} challenges [[Bugsy]] of the [[Azalea Gym]]. During the battle, Team Rocket tries to dig a hole underneath Pikachu. While they are excavating, they start dreaming about the bonus that they will receive from their boss. During the beginning of the motto, they recite it without the usual music and stopping the words in the syllables.

:'''Jessie:''' Oh, prepare for trouble, that's what they should do.
:'''James:''' And make it double, we're grabbing Pikachu.
:'''Meowth:''' Haah!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Meowth:''' Sing it!
''Beginning of the usual music and normal recitation''
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!

=====''[[EP146|The Tricks of the Trade]]'' motto=====
In this episode, Jessie and James try to steal all Pokémon in the Pokémon Swap Meet using a fake trading machine. After all the Trainers have discovered that their Poké Balls are empty, they try to get them back from Team Rocket. After this, Team Rocket recites a simple variation of their motto:

:'''James:''' Make it double, it beats relying and dealing.
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!

:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right!

=====''[[EP158|The Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' motto=====

:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket loves scarfing down free samples at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Yes, and we like to eat even more than we like to fight!
:'''Meowth:''' You got that right!

This episode is also notable due to the fact that Team Rocket did not shout out their usual "blasting off" phrase in it, even before disappearing in the [[Magnet Train]] tunnel although the shining star did appear.

=====''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'' motto=====
This motto was said by Team Rocket after Ash, {{ashfr}}, {{an|Professor Oak}}, and [[Foster]] arrived in the reservoir where the {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}} live.

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.

====''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'' mottos====
In this episode the main antagonists temporarily split up, only to get reunited in the end of the episode. During the time they were split, [[Jessie]] teamed with [[Butch]], and [[James]] joined [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] (even though Butch never was with them). During the experience, both teams tried to recite a motto, which really didn't work because neither could remember the correct version.

=====Cassidy's and James's motto=====
:'''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble, it's a brand new day!
:'''James:''' We're making it double anyway!
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime mime, mime mime mime!
:'''Cassidy:''' Let's see if I can remember my lines! An evil as old as the galaxy!
:'''James:''' Sent here to fulfill our destiny!
:'''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Cassidy:''' Whenever there's a piece of pie in the universe!
:'''James:''' Of pie!?
:'''Cassidy (''stopping the motto''):''' Aaah... I goofed it, so what!?
:'''James (''despairing''):''' Forget it...

=====Jessie's and Butch's motto=====
:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, we've shuffled the deck!
:'''Butch:''' It's not my thing, but what the heck!?
:'''Jessie:''' An evil as old as the galaxy!
:'''Butch:''' I'm doing this all from memory!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''Butch:''' To extend my arm with a big white glove!
:'''Jessie (''angrily looking at him''):''' Jessie!
:'''Butch (''realizing that his previous line was somewhat idiotic''):''' Aaah, Butch...
:'''Jessie (''kicking him in the face''):''' Cut! Do it right or don't do it at all!

===Sinnoh===
In [[Sinnoh]], the trio changed to a new motto yet again.

In the dub, they often replace the first two lines with
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.

or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.

It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.

====''Adventures in Unova''====
In ''[[Adventures in Unova]]'', Jessie, James and Meowth reverted back to their original motto with some slight alterations to it, like James' line of "To unite all peoples within our nation." was altered to "To unite the people within our nation." and instead of just saying their names it changed from "Jessie." "James." to "It's Jessie." "And James" (sometimes "And it's James"). In ''Adventures to Unova'' the motto stayed the same just as it did in the original series but in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'' the motto is altered to the situation.

===Kalos===
Just like in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'', Jessie, James and Meowth still currently use their original motto from the original series but it is altered to the situation at hand in the episode.

===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the Contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by the twerps, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.

===Butch and Cassidy===
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', it is implied to be based on Jessie and James's motto, though in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', they state that theirs is actually the correct version. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, Cassidy's {{p|Raticate}} appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch]]'s {{p|Shuckle}} appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.

====Original motto====

|- style="background:#FFF;"
| || || '''Butch:''' Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!
|}{{-}}

====Sinnoh motto====
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.

:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...
:'''Both:''' ...What a blast!
:'''Cassidy:''' Administering justice with lightning speed!
:'''Butch:''' Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need.
:'''Cassidy:''' So here's a newsflash from across the wire...
:'''Butch:''' The real Team Rocket is now on fire!
:'''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
:'''Butch:''' And it's Butch!
:'''Shuckle:''' Shuck-uckle!
:'''Cassidy:''' Teaching the losers a thing or two...
:'''Butch:''' ...The true Team Rocket...
:'''Both:''' Us! Not you!

===Ripoffs===
[[File:Ash Brock Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|left|Copycats...]]
[[File:Misty Duplica Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|...Ditto these two.]]
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and {{ashfr}} during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', in which Ash, Misty and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!".

The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself —"Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!"—with Jessie saying, "Wait a second, aren't those ''our'' lines?" after the first two lines.

In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealed that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them, but even though it was different, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.

In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitated the motto.
{{Left clear}}

====''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''====
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''Misty:''' And you can make that triple!
:'''Brock:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Ash and Misty:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie (''deadpan''):''' This was just...
:'''James (''deadpan''):''' Too good...
:'''Meowth (''deadpan''):''' To last.
:'''Ash:''' You got that right.
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika!
:'''Misty:''' We're defending the beauty of truth and love!
:'''Brock:''' Let's do it!
:'''Meowth (''interrupting them''):''' We gotta stop that!

====''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''====
So far, this is the only episode of the series to show Ash and {{ashfr}} actually completely doing the whole original motto.

:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''Brock:''' And make it Double, Double!
:'''James (''angrily''):''' Uhh, quit imitating us!
:'''Misty:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Duplica:''' To ignite all people within our nation!
:'''Jessie (''angrily''):''' Err! This is insulting!
:'''Ash:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''Misty:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Ash:''' Ash!
:'''Misty:''' Misty!
:'''Brock:''' And Brock!
:'''Duplica:''' Duplica, that's right!
:'''Brock:''' Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!
:'''Duplica:''' Surrender now, or prepare to fight all of us!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika, Pika!

====Schpielbunk's motto====
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.

:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!
:To protect the movies from devastation!
:To restore spectacle and imagination!
:To make great epics of hate and love!
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!
:Lights! Camera!
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!
:That's right!

====''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''====
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a {{AP|Chikorita}}, captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.

:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?
:'''James (''surprised''):''' To unite all peoples within our nation?
:'''Ash:''' Maybe you think I'm a little too brash. But the master is here and my name is Ash!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pikachu!
:'''Ash:''' My Pokémon team is faster than light! Surrender now or you're in for a fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]''====
:'''Dawn (''really angry''):''' Get ready for trouble!
:'''Pikachu (''really angry''):''' Pika!
:'''Brock (''really angry''):''' Make it double!
:'''James (''shocked''):''' Hey, no fair!

====''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''====
:'''Ash:''' Listen, is that bad guy talk I hear?
:'''Dawn:''' It speaks to me loud and clear!
:'''Ash:''' On the wind!
:'''Dawn:''' Past the stars!
:'''Brock:''' In your ear!
:'''Jessie (''interrupting them''):''' It's that kind of imitation they invented lawsuits for!
:'''Dawn:''' Chill out! We couldn't care less about you!
:'''Ash:''' We're looking for Spiritomb!

====''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'' ====
:'''Bonnie:''' Prepare for trouble, I'd say you bad people have finally met your match!
:'''Serena:''' And make it a double-crook catch! To protect the world from — !
:'''Jessie (''interrupting them''):''' Twerp thieves!
:'''James:''' Copyright infringment! Get away from him!
:'''Serena:''' You let us go now, or you're gonna wish you had!

===Blasting off===
[[File:Blast off.png|thumb|240px|right|Blasting off]]
When defeated, and sent flying off due to a Pokémon's attack (usually {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}) or a malfunction in [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mechas]], Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry, {{tt|「やな感じ！」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("What a bad feeling!") in the original, which became "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub) or "We're blasting off again!" ([[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] dub) before disappearing into the distance with a twinkle. The first time they blasted off was in [[EP002|their debut episode]], and the first time the twinkle was seen was during their following blast off, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''.

Blasting off usually happens only once time per episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', in which they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

After ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Team Rocket didn't blast off during the {{series|Best Wishes}}. From ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' onwards, they usually used jetpacks in order to escape. For this reason, those blastoffs weren't against their will nor involved pain, so they didn't scream their famous quote, "We're blasting off again!" either. Starting from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, although they didn't say the catchphrase until ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. They still used their jetpacks in some episodes.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:

:'''R'''aid
:'''O'''n
:'''C'''ity
:'''K'''nock out
:'''E'''vil
:'''T'''usks

When translated from Japanese, this motto means 'Attack cities one after another!! Devastate them!! We are the fangs of evil!!'.

==Trivia==
* The {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Battle Frontier|motto used during the Battle Frontier}} is rather unique since it was said [[AG132|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' season, and [[DP002|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' season.
* In every single one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the [[original series]], he was the one who said the line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch, along with [[Cassidy]], said "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', he was the one who began the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'', he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', in which he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]], the motto was said like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say it.
* The original motto was used in a commercial for {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} in the United States, although without Jessie and James's names or the line "Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light."
* In the Sinnoh motto, Jessie's section of "A rose by any other name is just as sweet" alludes to Act II Scene II Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'', in which Juliet argues:
<blockquote>
What's in a name? that which we call a rose 
By any other name would smell as sweet; 
</blockquote>
: This is a {{wp|A rose by any other name would smell as sweet|commonly quoted phrase}} meaning that the names of things do not matter, only what the thing is.
* In the Unova motto, Jessie likens herself to {{p|Reshiram}} with the words "white" and "fiery", while James likens himself to {{p|Zekrom}} with "black" and "thunderous".
* In the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese dub]], the expression "Preparar para azar!", the Portuguese equivalent to "Prepare for trouble!" (which literally translated is "Prepare for bad luck!") is still used in recent episodes as a Team Rocket's catchphrase, even during some mottos.

Team Rocket motto

2014-04-19T20:44:52Z

FanOfCountry: /* Kalos */

{{incomplete|needs=More variations of the original motto in Best Wishes series; Japanese lyrics and their translations for Butch and Cassidy's mottos}}
[[File:Team Rocket motto.png|thumb|300px|right|At the end of a motto]]
The '''Team Rocket motto''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}の{{tt|名乗|なの}}り''' ''Rocket Gang's self-introduction'') is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.

==In the anime==
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past. This motto would usually be said by all members of the trio, but when one of them is not present, another member takes their line.

Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has been rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!

Also, in almost all episodes after the Orange League, they tend to alter the first two sentences to match the current situation.

Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|first season]].

There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music. Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.

This version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts at which Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light."

Team Rocket returned to this motto in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]'', as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.

From ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' onwards, Team Rocket started using this motto again, after having failed in their [[BW096|latest]] [[BW097|operation]] and making a brief retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Some slight changes in the dubbed version are that, the first lines are recited in most cases as "Prepare for trouble, ''you know the drill''", "And make it double, ''you'll get your fill''", and James now says "To unite ''the people'' within our nation", instead of "To unite ''all peoples'' within our nation".

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.

====''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'' mottos====
In this episode the main antagonists temporarily split up, only to get reunited in the end of the episode. During the time they were split, [[Jessie]] teamed with [[Butch]], and [[James]] joined [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] (even though Butch never was with them). During the experience, both teams tried to recite a motto, which really didn't work because neither could remember the correct version.

=====Cassidy's and James's motto=====
:'''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble, it's a brand new day!
:'''James:''' We're making it double anyway!
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime mime, mime mime mime!
:'''Cassidy:''' Let's see if I can remember my lines! An evil as old as the galaxy!
:'''James:''' Sent here to fulfill our destiny!
:'''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Cassidy:''' Whenever there's a piece of pie in the universe!
:'''James:''' Of pie!?
:'''Cassidy (''stopping the motto''):''' Aaah... I goofed it, so what!?
:'''James (''despairing''):''' Forget it...

=====Jessie's and Butch's motto=====
:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, we've shuffled the deck!
:'''Butch:''' It's not my thing, but what the heck!?
:'''Jessie:''' An evil as old as the galaxy!
:'''Butch:''' I'm doing this all from memory!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''Butch:''' To extend my arm with a big white glove!
:'''Jessie (''angrily looking at him''):''' Jessie!
:'''Butch (''realizing that his previous line was somewhat idiotic''):''' Aaah, Butch...
:'''Jessie (''kicking him in the face''):''' Cut! Do it right or don't do it at all!

===Sinnoh===
In [[Sinnoh]], the trio changed to a new motto yet again.

|}{{-}}

In the dub, they often replace the first two lines with
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.

or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.

It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.

|}

====''Adventures in Unova''====
In ''[[Adventures in Unova]]'', Jessie, James and Meowth reverted back to their original motto with some slight alterations to it, like James' line of "To unite all peoples within our nation." was altered to "To unite the people within our nation." and instead of just saying their names it changed from "Jessie." "James." to "It's Jessie." "And James" (sometimes "And it's James"). In ''Adventures to Unova'' the motto stayed the same just as it did in the original series but in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'' the motto is altered to the situation.

===Kalos===
Just like in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'', Jessie, James and Meowth still currently use their original motto from the original series but it is altered to the situation at hand in the episode.

===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the Contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by the twerps, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.

===Butch and Cassidy===
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', it is implied to be based on Jessie and James's motto, though in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', they state that theirs is actually the correct version. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, Cassidy's {{p|Raticate}} appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch]]'s {{p|Shuckle}} appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.

====Original motto====

|- align=center
! style="{{roundyleft}}: 5px;" | Japanese

| || || '''Cassidy:''' We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and all night!
|- style="background:#FFF;"
| || || '''Butch:''' Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!
|}{{-}}

====Sinnoh motto====
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.

:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...
:'''Both:''' ...What a blast!
:'''Cassidy:''' Administering justice with lightning speed!
:'''Butch:''' Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need.
:'''Cassidy:''' So here's a newsflash from across the wire...
:'''Butch:''' The real Team Rocket is now on fire!
:'''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
:'''Butch:''' And it's Butch!
:'''Shuckle:''' Shuck-uckle!
:'''Cassidy:''' Teaching the losers a thing or two...
:'''Butch:''' ...The true Team Rocket...
:'''Both:''' Us! Not you!

===Ripoffs===
[[File:Ash Brock Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|left|Copycats...]]
[[File:Misty Duplica Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|...Ditto these two.]]
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and {{ashfr}} during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', in which Ash, Misty and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!".

The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself —"Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!"—with Jessie saying, "Wait a second, aren't those ''our'' lines?" after the first two lines.

In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealed that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them, but even though it was different, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.

In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitated the motto.
{{Left clear}}

====''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''====
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''Misty:''' And you can make that triple!
:'''Brock:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Ash and Misty:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie (''deadpan''):''' This was just...
:'''James (''deadpan''):''' Too good...
:'''Meowth (''deadpan''):''' To last.
:'''Ash:''' You got that right.
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika!
:'''Misty:''' We're defending the beauty of truth and love!
:'''Brock:''' Let's do it!
:'''Meowth (''interrupting them''):''' We gotta stop that!

====''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''====
So far, this is the only episode of the series to show Ash and {{ashfr}} actually completely doing the whole original motto.

:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''Brock:''' And make it Double, Double!
:'''James (''angrily''):''' Uhh, quit imitating us!
:'''Misty:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Duplica:''' To ignite all people within our nation!
:'''Jessie (''angrily''):''' Err! This is insulting!
:'''Ash:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''Misty:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Ash:''' Ash!
:'''Misty:''' Misty!
:'''Brock:''' And Brock!
:'''Duplica:''' Duplica, that's right!
:'''Brock:''' Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!
:'''Duplica:''' Surrender now, or prepare to fight all of us!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika, Pika!

====Schpielbunk's motto====
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.

:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!
:To protect the movies from devastation!
:To restore spectacle and imagination!
:To make great epics of hate and love!
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!
:Lights! Camera!
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!
:That's right!

====''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''====
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a {{AP|Chikorita}}, captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.

:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?
:'''James (''surprised''):''' To unite all peoples within our nation?
:'''Ash:''' Maybe you think I'm a little too brash. But the master is here and my name is Ash!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pikachu!
:'''Ash:''' My Pokémon team is faster than light! Surrender now or you're in for a fight!

===Blasting off===
[[File:Blast off.png|thumb|240px|right|Blasting off]]
When defeated, and sent flying off due to a Pokémon's attack (usually {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}) or a malfunction in [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mechas]], Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry, {{tt|「やな感じ！」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("What a bad feeling!") in the original, which became "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub) or "We're blasting off again!" ([[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] dub) before disappearing into the distance with a twinkle. The first time they blasted off was in [[EP002|their debut episode]], and the first time the twinkle was seen was during their following blast off, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''.

Blasting off usually happens only once time per episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', in which they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

After ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Team Rocket didn't blast off during the {{series|Best Wishes}}. From ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' onwards, they usually used jetpacks in order to escape. For this reason, those blastoffs weren't against their will nor involved pain, so they didn't scream their famous quote, "We're blasting off again!" either. Starting from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, although they didn't say the catchphrase until ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. They still used their jetpacks in some episodes.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:

:'''R'''aid
:'''O'''n
:'''C'''ity
:'''K'''nock out
:'''E'''vil
:'''T'''usks

When translated from Japanese, this motto means 'Attack cities one after another!! Devastate them!! We are the fangs of evil!!'.

==Trivia==
* The {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Battle Frontier|motto used during the Battle Frontier}} is rather unique since it was said [[AG132|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' season, and [[DP002|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' season.
* In every single one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the [[original series]], he was the one who said the line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch, along with [[Cassidy]], said "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', he was the one who began the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'', he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', in which he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]], the motto was said like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say it.
* The original motto was used in a commercial for {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} in the United States, although without Jessie and James's names or the line "Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light."
* In the Sinnoh motto, Jessie's section of "A rose by any other name is just as sweet" alludes to Act II Scene II Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'', in which Juliet argues:
<blockquote>
What's in a name? that which we call a rose 
By any other name would smell as sweet; 
</blockquote>
: This is a {{wp|A rose by any other name would smell as sweet|commonly quoted phrase}} meaning that the names of things do not matter, only what the thing is.
* In the Unova motto, Jessie likens herself to {{p|Reshiram}} with the words "white" and "fiery", while James likens himself to {{p|Zekrom}} with "black" and "thunderous".
* In the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese dub]], the expression "Preparar para azar!", the Portuguese equivalent to "Prepare for trouble!" (which literally translated is "Prepare for bad luck!") is still used in recent episodes as a Team Rocket's catchphrase, even during some mottos.

[[File:Team Rocket motto.png|thumb|300px|right|At the end of a motto]]
The '''Team Rocket motto''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}の{{tt|名乗|なの}}り''' ''Rocket Gang's self-introduction'') is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.

==In the anime==
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past. This motto would usually be said by all members of the trio, but when one of them is not present, another member takes their line.

Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has been rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!

Also, in almost all episodes after the Orange League, they tend to alter the first two sentences to match the current situation.

Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|first season]].

There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music. Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.

This version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts at which Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light."

Team Rocket returned to this motto in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]'', as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.

From ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' onwards, Team Rocket started using this motto again, after having failed in their [[BW096|latest]] [[BW097|operation]] and making a brief retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Some slight changes in the dubbed version are that, the first lines are recited in most cases as "Prepare for trouble, ''you know the drill''", "And make it double, ''you'll get your fill''", and James now says "To unite ''the people'' within our nation", instead of "To unite ''all peoples'' within our nation".

=====''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'' motto=====
As James was under the trance of {{p|Gastly}} he was not present with Jessie and Meowth when they encountered the twerps, and Jessie was left to say most of the motto herself. However, James later reacted to hearing the motto, and made his whereabouts known by saying his last three lines.

:'''Jessie:''' To give all Pokémon pretty faces!
:'''James:''' To extend our art to outer spaces!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!

:'''James:''' Surrender your taste or prepare to fight!

=====''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' motto=====
In this episode, Team Rocket has followed Ash and his friends to Professor Oak's Laboratory. When they start singing their motto, Meowth is constantly trying to get a phrase for himself.

=====''[[EP077|Fourth Round Rumble]]'' motto=====
In this episode, Team Rocket starts to sell fake Badges to Trainers in the Indigo Plateau. Near the end of the episode, they realize that they are much more successful selling stuff than when they are stealing stuff.

:'''Jessie:''' That's not a bad idea. We can call it "Jessie's"
:'''James:''' "James's"
:'''Jessie:''' Want a burger and fries without trouble?
:'''James:''' If you are really hungry make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from hunger and thirst.
:'''James:''' Our food isn't bad, at least not the worst.
:'''Jessie:''' The Team Rocket Restaurant blasting for a bite
:'''Jessie and James:''' We stay open all day, we stay open all night!

This variation is a heavy variation of the usual motto and sounds like a restaurant motto.

At the same time, the tribal priest and high priest beg Meowth to stay with the tribe.

:'''The priest:''' Great One, our people need you here!
:'''Jessie:''' I'm the one who needs you too!
:'''James:''' Make it double, we both need you!
:'''Jessie:''' You protect us both from desperation!
:'''James:''' You unite us all in jubilation!
:'''Jessie:''' You help chase away our loneliness!
:'''James:''' You're a mess, but we love you nevertheless!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket's friendship never ends!

:'''Jessie:''' To protect my head from humiliation!
:'''James:''' Too bad her hair went on vacation!
:'''Jessie:''' My gorgeous hair was my one true love!
:'''James:''' They went together like a hand and glove!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Now my hair is short but it won't be for long!
:'''James:''' And it won't stop our Jessie from doing what's wrong!
:'''Meowth:''' Hairy!

=====''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' motto=====
Team Rocket comes down from a cliff along a zip-line, but just when they are about to recite their names, Jessie and James crash into a tree and become a bit dizzy.

:'''James:''' Make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!

:'''Jessie (''dizzy''):''' Team Blocket... rest off at the lead of spite... tonight...
:'''James (''dizzy''):''' Surrender now or prepare... to surrender now... surrender now...
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! Say the motto right!
''Meowth scratches both Jessie and James to their faces''
:'''Meowth:''' We didn't mean to wake 'em all, but now we're gonna take 'em all!

=====''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'' motto=====
In this episode, {{Ash}} challenges [[Bugsy]] of the [[Azalea Gym]]. During the battle, Team Rocket tries to dig a hole underneath Pikachu.

:'''Jessie:''' Oh, prepare for trouble, that's what they should do.
:'''James:''' And make it double, we're grabbing Pikachu.
:'''Meowth:''' Haah!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!

''Beginning of the usual music and normal recitation''
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket digging to the Pikachu at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fight the crowns on opening night!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right!

=====''[[EP146|The Tricks of the Trade]]'' motto=====
In this episode, Jessie and James try to steal all Pokémon in the Pokémon Swap Meet using a fake trading machine. After all the Trainers have discovered that their Poké Balls are empty, they try to get them back from Team Rocket. After this, Team Rocket recites a simple variation of their motto:

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, its true, we've been stealing.
:'''James:''' Make it double, it beats relying and dealing.
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!

=====''[[EP158|The Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' motto=====
This motto was recited by Jessie and James after they had confused some wares at a food store with free samples and had been caught by a saleswoman.

:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket loves scarfing down free samples at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Yes, and we like to eat even more than we like to fight!
:'''Meowth:''' You got that right!

This episode is also notable due to the fact that Team Rocket did not shout out their usual "blasting off" phrase in it, even before disappearing in the [[Magnet Train]] tunnel although the shining star did appear.

=====''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'' motto=====
This motto was said by Team Rocket after Ash, {{ashfr}}, {{an|Professor Oak}}, and [[Foster]] arrived in the reservoir where the {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}} live.

:'''Foster:''' What are they doing?

:'''James:''' We have got plenty of Omastar and loads of Omanyte.
:'''Wobbuffet :''' Wobbu...!

This is also one of the few episodes in which Jessie doesn't say "speed of light!" and James doesn't say "fight, fight, fight!"

=====''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]]'' motto=====
In this episode Team Rocket breaks into a castle that later appeared to be a hospital, where Pokémon were used to treat people. Upon stealing some food from the dining room and trying to get away, Team Rocket was caught by [[Dr. Anna]] and Brock.

:'''Dr. Anna:''' Excuse me, do you have an appointment?!
:'''Jessie:''' We have no appointment, but we've been having some trouble!

:'''Jessie:''' To protect us from all that chafing and itching!
:'''James:''' It might finally stop all of Jessie's... complaining!
:'''Jessie:''' To eradicate the evils of athlete's feet!
:'''James:''' Maybe I can get rid of my prickly heat!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!

:'''James:''' So give us some salve or we'll never sleep tonight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right.

=====''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' motto=====
In this episode Jessie and James enter a Pokémon Beauty Contest, pretending not to be members of Team Rocket (they even forbid Meowth to talk). Because they want to be the first to show their Pokémon in order to make a better impression on the judges, they lock up the first contestant and appear on the stage instead of him. A small delay happens due to this.

:'''Jessie:''' Sorry we're late, it takes a while...
:'''James:''' ...to give our Pokémon flare and style!
:'''Jessie:''' We hope our Pokémon will amaze all of you!
:'''James:''' We're giving each one a look that's brand new!
:'''Jessie:''' We're creating a trend and it's gonna be big!
:'''James (''combing a wig on Jessie's Wobbuffet''):''' And this doesn't even look like a wig!
:'''Jessie:''' We two aren't fakers!
:'''James:''' We're style makers!
:'''Jessie:''' We're cutting and curling at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Put yourself in our hands and we'll make you look right, right, right!
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, Meowth, Meowth!

=====''[[EP175|Trouble With Snubbull]]'' motto=====
In this episode Team Rocket tries to catch [[Madame Muchmoney's Granbull|Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull]] in order to return it to her and receive a reward, which they suppose to be quite large.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare to say good-bye to all of our trouble!
:'''James:''' Prepare to say hello to Snubbull!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect ourselves from being poor!
:'''James:''' When we get enough, we'll still get more!
:'''Jessie:''' We'll capture Snubbull and return it to its rich owner and get a big reward!
:'''James:''' Then there won't be anything we can't afford!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket likes blasting off at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' But catching that Snubbull and getting that reward would be a delight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

=====''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'' motto=====
Jessie and James recite this motto after Jessie obtains ancient mask and the staff that can be used to control any Pokémon without catching it.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for the worst trouble you've ever seen!
:'''James:''' With the staff and the mask Jessie's the queen!
:'''Jessie:''' I'll rule the world with power and might!
:'''James:''' She'll capture Pokémon without a fight!
:'''Jessie:''' A queen, whose subjects must all kneel down before me!
:'''James:''' Yeah... But... I'll just kneel on one knee.
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie, Her Royal Highness!
:'''James:''' James, her lowly... Hey, wait a second!
:'''Jessie:''' Queen Jessie ruling all with power and might!
:'''James (''desperately''):''' You'd better surrender or she'll go on like this all night!
:'''Meowth (''desperately''):''' Yeah. Why fight?

=====''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'' motto=====
In this episode, Team Rocket steals the Crystal Bells, and they use a different version of their motto.

:'''Jessie:''' With Crystal Bells in hand,
:'''James:''' We'll ring across the land!
:'''Jessie:''' And then, when {{p|Ho-Oh}} reappears,
:'''James:''' We will quickly switch [[Team Rocket's mechas|gears]]!
:'''Jessie:''' Because, together we will show,
:'''James:''' That we can beat old Ho-Oh!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.

====''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'' mottos====
In this episode the main antagonists temporarily split up, only to get reunited in the end of the episode. During the time they were split, [[Jessie]] teamed with [[Butch]], and [[James]] joined [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] (even though Butch never was with them). During the experience, both teams tried to recite a motto, which really didn't work because neither could remember the correct version.

=====Cassidy's and James's motto=====
:'''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble, it's a brand new day!
:'''James:''' We're making it double anyway!

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, we've shuffled the deck!
:'''Butch:''' It's not my thing, but what the heck!?
:'''Jessie:''' An evil as old as the galaxy!
:'''Butch:''' I'm doing this all from memory!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''Butch:''' To extend my arm with a big white glove!
:'''Jessie (''angrily looking at him''):''' Jessie!
:'''Butch (''realizing that his previous line was somewhat idiotic''):''' Aaah, Butch...
:'''Jessie (''kicking him in the face''):''' Cut! Do it right or don't do it at all!

In the dub, they often replace the first two lines with
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?

====''Adventures in Unova''====
In ''[[Adventures in Unova]]'', Jessie, James and Meowth reverted back to their original motto with some slight alterations to it, like James' line of "To unite all peoples within our nation." was altered to "To unite the people within our nation." and instead of just saying their names it changed from "Jessie." "James." to "It's Jessie." "And James" (sometimes "And it's James"). In ''Adventures to Unova'' the motto stayed the same just as it did in the original series but in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'' the motto is altered to the situation.

===Kalos===
Like in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'' Jessie, James and Meowth still currently use their original motto from the original series but it is altered to the situation at hand in the episode.

===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the Contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by the twerps, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.

===Butch and Cassidy===
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', it is implied to be based on Jessie and James's motto, though in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', they state that theirs is actually the correct version. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, Cassidy's {{p|Raticate}} appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch]]'s {{p|Shuckle}} appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.

|}{{-}}

====Sinnoh motto====
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.

:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...
:'''Both:''' ...What a blast!
:'''Cassidy:''' Administering justice with lightning speed!
:'''Butch:''' Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need.
:'''Cassidy:''' So here's a newsflash from across the wire...
:'''Butch:''' The real Team Rocket is now on fire!
:'''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
:'''Butch:''' And it's Butch!
:'''Shuckle:''' Shuck-uckle!
:'''Cassidy:''' Teaching the losers a thing or two...
:'''Butch:''' ...The true Team Rocket...
:'''Both:''' Us! Not you!

===Ripoffs===
[[File:Ash Brock Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|left|Copycats...]]
[[File:Misty Duplica Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|...Ditto these two.]]
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and {{ashfr}} during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', in which Ash, Misty and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!".

The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself —"Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!"—with Jessie saying, "Wait a second, aren't those ''our'' lines?" after the first two lines.

In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealed that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them, but even though it was different, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.

In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitated the motto.
{{Left clear}}

====''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''====
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''Misty:''' And you can make that triple!
:'''Brock:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Ash and Misty:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie (''deadpan''):''' This was just...
:'''James (''deadpan''):''' Too good...
:'''Meowth (''deadpan''):''' To last.
:'''Ash:''' You got that right.
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika!
:'''Misty:''' We're defending the beauty of truth and love!
:'''Brock:''' Let's do it!
:'''Meowth (''interrupting them''):''' We gotta stop that!

====''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''====
So far, this is the only episode of the series to show Ash and {{ashfr}} actually completely doing the whole original motto.

:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''Brock:''' And make it Double, Double!
:'''James (''angrily''):''' Uhh, quit imitating us!
:'''Misty:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Duplica:''' To ignite all people within our nation!
:'''Jessie (''angrily''):''' Err! This is insulting!
:'''Ash:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''Misty:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Ash:''' Ash!
:'''Misty:''' Misty!
:'''Brock:''' And Brock!
:'''Duplica:''' Duplica, that's right!
:'''Brock:''' Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!
:'''Duplica:''' Surrender now, or prepare to fight all of us!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika, Pika!

====Schpielbunk's motto====
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.

:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!
:To protect the movies from devastation!
:To restore spectacle and imagination!
:To make great epics of hate and love!
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!
:Lights! Camera!
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!
:That's right!

====''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''====
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a {{AP|Chikorita}}, captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.

:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?
:'''James (''surprised''):''' To unite all peoples within our nation?
:'''Ash:''' Maybe you think I'm a little too brash. But the master is here and my name is Ash!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pikachu!
:'''Ash:''' My Pokémon team is faster than light! Surrender now or you're in for a fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]''====
:'''Dawn (''really angry''):''' Get ready for trouble!
:'''Pikachu (''really angry''):''' Pika!
:'''Brock (''really angry''):''' Make it double!
:'''James (''shocked''):''' Hey, no fair!

====''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''====
:'''Ash:''' Listen, is that bad guy talk I hear?
:'''Dawn:''' It speaks to me loud and clear!
:'''Ash:''' On the wind!
:'''Dawn:''' Past the stars!
:'''Brock:''' In your ear!
:'''Jessie (''interrupting them''):''' It's that kind of imitation they invented lawsuits for!
:'''Dawn:''' Chill out! We couldn't care less about you!
:'''Ash:''' We're looking for Spiritomb!

====''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'' ====
:'''Bonnie:''' Prepare for trouble, I'd say you bad people have finally met your match!
:'''Serena:''' And make it a double-crook catch! To protect the world from — !
:'''Jessie (''interrupting them''):''' Twerp thieves!
:'''James:''' Copyright infringment! Get away from him!
:'''Serena:''' You let us go now, or you're gonna wish you had!

===Blasting off===
[[File:Blast off.png|thumb|240px|right|Blasting off]]
When defeated, and sent flying off due to a Pokémon's attack (usually {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}) or a malfunction in [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mechas]], Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry, {{tt|「やな感じ！」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("What a bad feeling!") in the original, which became "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub) or "We're blasting off again!" ([[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] dub) before disappearing into the distance with a twinkle. The first time they blasted off was in [[EP002|their debut episode]], and the first time the twinkle was seen was during their following blast off, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''.

Blasting off usually happens only once time per episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', in which they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

After ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Team Rocket didn't blast off during the {{series|Best Wishes}}. From ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' onwards, they usually used jetpacks in order to escape. For this reason, those blastoffs weren't against their will nor involved pain, so they didn't scream their famous quote, "We're blasting off again!" either. Starting from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, although they didn't say the catchphrase until ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. They still used their jetpacks in some episodes.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:

:'''R'''aid
:'''O'''n
:'''C'''ity
:'''K'''nock out
:'''E'''vil
:'''T'''usks

When translated from Japanese, this motto means 'Attack cities one after another!! Devastate them!! We are the fangs of evil!!'.

==Trivia==
* The {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Battle Frontier|motto used during the Battle Frontier}} is rather unique since it was said [[AG132|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' season, and [[DP002|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' season.
* In every single one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the [[original series]], he was the one who said the line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch, along with [[Cassidy]], said "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', he was the one who began the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'', he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', in which he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]], the motto was said like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say it.
* The original motto was used in a commercial for {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} in the United States, although without Jessie and James's names or the line "Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light."
* In the Sinnoh motto, Jessie's section of "A rose by any other name is just as sweet" alludes to Act II Scene II Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'', in which Juliet argues:
<blockquote>
What's in a name? that which we call a rose 
By any other name would smell as sweet; 
</blockquote>
: This is a {{wp|A rose by any other name would smell as sweet|commonly quoted phrase}} meaning that the names of things do not matter, only what the thing is.
* In the Unova motto, Jessie likens herself to {{p|Reshiram}} with the words "white" and "fiery", while James likens himself to {{p|Zekrom}} with "black" and "thunderous".
* In the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese dub]], the expression "Preparar para azar!", the Portuguese equivalent to "Prepare for trouble!" (which literally translated is "Prepare for bad luck!") is still used in recent episodes as a Team Rocket's catchphrase, even during some mottos.

Team Rocket motto

FanOfCountry:

{{incomplete|needs=More variations of the original motto in Best Wishes series; Japanese lyrics and their translations for Butch and Cassidy's mottos}}
[[File:Team Rocket motto.png|thumb|300px|right|At the end of a motto]]
The '''Team Rocket motto''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}の{{tt|名乗|なの}}り''' ''Rocket Gang's self-introduction'') is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.

==In the anime==
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past. This motto would usually be said by all members of the trio, but when one of them is not present, another member takes their line.

|}{{-}}

Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has been rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!

Also, in almost all episodes after the Orange League, they tend to alter the first two sentences to match the current situation.

Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|first season]].

There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music. Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.

This version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts at which Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light."

Team Rocket returned to this motto in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]'', as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.

From ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' onwards, Team Rocket started using this motto again, after having failed in their [[BW096|latest]] [[BW097|operation]] and making a brief retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Some slight changes in the dubbed version are that, the first lines are recited in most cases as "Prepare for trouble, ''you know the drill''", "And make it double, ''you'll get your fill''", and James now says "To unite ''the people'' within our nation", instead of "To unite ''all peoples'' within our nation".

|-
|Click [show] to see the variations.
|-
|
=====''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' motto=====
In this episode James was depressed while saying his lines of the motto due to the fact that he was conned by the [[Magikarp Salesman]].

=====''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'' motto=====
As James was under the trance of {{p|Gastly}} he was not present with Jessie and Meowth when they encountered the twerps, and Jessie was left to say most of the motto herself. However, James later reacted to hearing the motto, and made his whereabouts known by saying his last three lines.

=====''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'' motto=====
In this episode Team Rocket opens "Salon Roquet" and for this reason introduces itself with a special motto.

:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from boring fashion!
:'''James:''' To dress all people with flash and passion!
:'''Jessie:''' To give all Pokémon pretty faces!
:'''James:''' To extend our art to outer spaces!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Salon Roquet! When it comes to chic we know what's right!
:'''James:''' Surrender your taste or prepare to fight!

=====''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' motto=====
In this episode, Team Rocket has followed Ash and his friends to Professor Oak's Laboratory. When they start singing their motto, Meowth is constantly trying to get a phrase for himself.

:'''Meowth:''' May I invite you to prepare...
:'''Jessie and James:''' For trouble!
:'''Meowth:''' Yeah! And while you're at it, you're better make it a triple!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth...!
:'''Jessie (''thrashes Meowth to the ground''):''' You stay out of this, Meowth!
:'''James (''thrashes Meowth''):''' Stop stealing our material!
:'''Meowth:''' All right, all right!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fight for that {{AP|Pikachu}}!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right!

=====''[[EP077|Fourth Round Rumble]]'' motto=====
In this episode, Team Rocket starts to sell fake Badges to Trainers in the Indigo Plateau. Near the end of the episode, they realize that they are much more successful selling stuff than when they are stealing stuff. At some point, Meowth says that they will eventually open a fast-food restaurant. This is the following dialogue:

:'''Jessie:''' That's not a bad idea. We can call it "Jessie's"
:'''James:''' "James's"
:'''Jessie:''' Want a burger and fries without trouble?
:'''James:''' If you are really hungry make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from hunger and thirst.
:'''James:''' Our food isn't bad, at least not the worst.
:'''Jessie:''' The Team Rocket Restaurant blasting for a bite
:'''Jessie and James:''' We stay open all day, we stay open all night!

This variation is a heavy variation of the usual motto and sounds like a restaurant motto.

=====''[[EP096|Meowth Rules!]]'' motto=====
In this episode Meowth, being hit by {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Water Gun}}, flies up and falls on an island where a strange tribe that worships Meowth lives. Almost in the end of the episode when Meowth feels lonely and says he misses [[Jessie]] and [[James]], they both appear and recite a special version of their motto for Meowth. At the same time, the tribal priest and high priest beg Meowth to stay with the tribe.

:'''The priest:''' Great One, our people need you here!
:'''Jessie:''' I'm the one who needs you too!
:'''James:''' Make it double, we both need you!
:'''Jessie:''' You protect us both from desperation!
:'''James:''' You unite us all in jubilation!
:'''Jessie:''' You help chase away our loneliness!
:'''James:''' You're a mess, but we love you nevertheless!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket's friendship never ends!
:'''James:''' So let's set sail on our ship of friends!

=====''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' motto=====
Since Jessie gets her hair cut short by a wild {{p|Scyther}} in this episode, [[Team Rocket]] recites a special motto.

:'''Jessie:''' You insult my hair? Prepare for trouble!
:'''James:''' It used to be there but now it's stubble!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect my head from humiliation!
:'''James:''' Too bad her hair went on vacation!
:'''Jessie:''' My gorgeous hair was my one true love!
:'''James:''' They went together like a hand and glove!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Now my hair is short but it won't be for long!
:'''James:''' And it won't stop our Jessie from doing what's wrong!
:'''Meowth:''' Hairy!

=====''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' motto=====
Team Rocket comes down from a cliff along a zip-line, but just when they are about to recite their names, Jessie and James crash into a tree and become a bit dizzy.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''James:''' Make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Jessie (''crashes into a tree mid-word''):''' Jes-!
:'''James (''also crashes into the tree mid-word''):''' Ja-!
:'''Jessie (''dizzy''):''' Team Blocket... rest off at the lead of spite... tonight...
:'''James (''dizzy''):''' Surrender now or prepare... to surrender now... surrender now...
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! Say the motto right!
''Meowth scratches both Jessie and James to their faces''
:'''Meowth:''' We didn't mean to wake 'em all, but now we're gonna take 'em all!
:'''Jessie & James:''' Well said, Meowth!

=====''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'' motto=====
Pretending to be baseball fans, Team Rocket recites the following motto upon stealing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Casey's Meganium|Casey's Chikorita]] (both were later freed).

:'''Jessie:''' Attention, [[twerp]]s, it's prepare-for-trouble day!
:'''James:''' But you're both out, what makes it a double play!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect our team from devastation!
:'''James:''' To excite our side with a big ovation!
:'''Jessie:''' To strike out the evils of truth and love!

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.

====''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'' mottos====
In this episode the main antagonists temporarily split up, only to get reunited in the end of the episode. During the time they were split, [[Jessie]] teamed with [[Butch]], and [[James]] joined [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] (even though Butch never was with them). During the experience, both teams tried to recite a motto, which really didn't work because neither could remember the correct version.

=====Cassidy's and James's motto=====
:'''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble, it's a brand new day!
:'''James:''' We're making it double anyway!
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime mime, mime mime mime!
:'''Cassidy:''' Let's see if I can remember my lines! An evil as old as the galaxy!
:'''James:''' Sent here to fulfill our destiny!
:'''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Cassidy:''' Whenever there's a piece of pie in the universe!
:'''James:''' Of pie!?
:'''Cassidy (''stopping the motto''):''' Aaah... I goofed it, so what!?
:'''James (''despairing''):''' Forget it...

=====Jessie's and Butch's motto=====
:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, we've shuffled the deck!
:'''Butch:''' It's not my thing, but what the heck!?
:'''Jessie:''' An evil as old as the galaxy!
:'''Butch:''' I'm doing this all from memory!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''Butch:''' To extend my arm with a big white glove!
:'''Jessie (''angrily looking at him''):''' Jessie!
:'''Butch (''realizing that his previous line was somewhat idiotic''):''' Aaah, Butch...
:'''Jessie (''kicking him in the face''):''' Cut! Do it right or don't do it at all!

===Sinnoh===
In [[Sinnoh]], the trio changed to a new motto yet again.

|}{{-}}

In the dub, they often replace the first two lines with
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.

or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.

It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.

====''Adventures in Unova''====
In ''[[Adventures in Unova]]'', Jessie, James and Meowth reverted back to their original motto with some slight alterations to it, like James' line of "To unite all peoples within our nation." was altered to "To unite the people within our nation." and instead of just saying their names it changed from "Jessie." "James." to "It's Jessie." "And James" (sometimes "And it's James"). In ''Adventures to Unova'' the motto stayed the same just as it did in the original series but in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'' the motto is altered to the situation.

==Kalos==
Like in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'' Jessie, James and Meowth still currently use their original motto from the original series but it is altered to the situation at hand in the episode.

===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the Contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by the twerps, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.

===Butch and Cassidy===
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', it is implied to be based on Jessie and James's motto, though in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', they state that theirs is actually the correct version. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, Cassidy's {{p|Raticate}} appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch]]'s {{p|Shuckle}} appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.

====Original motto====

| || || '''Cassidy:''' We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and all night!
|- style="background:#FFF;"
| || || '''Butch:''' Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!
|}{{-}}

====Sinnoh motto====
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.

:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...
:'''Both:''' ...What a blast!
:'''Cassidy:''' Administering justice with lightning speed!
:'''Butch:''' Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need.
:'''Cassidy:''' So here's a newsflash from across the wire...
:'''Butch:''' The real Team Rocket is now on fire!
:'''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
:'''Butch:''' And it's Butch!
:'''Shuckle:''' Shuck-uckle!
:'''Cassidy:''' Teaching the losers a thing or two...
:'''Butch:''' ...The true Team Rocket...
:'''Both:''' Us! Not you!

===Ripoffs===
[[File:Ash Brock Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|left|Copycats...]]
[[File:Misty Duplica Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|...Ditto these two.]]
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and {{ashfr}} during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', in which Ash, Misty and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!".

The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself —"Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!"—with Jessie saying, "Wait a second, aren't those ''our'' lines?" after the first two lines.

In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealed that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them, but even though it was different, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.

In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitated the motto.
{{Left clear}}

====''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''====
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''Misty:''' And you can make that triple!
:'''Brock:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Ash and Misty:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie (''deadpan''):''' This was just...
:'''James (''deadpan''):''' Too good...
:'''Meowth (''deadpan''):''' To last.
:'''Ash:''' You got that right.
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika!
:'''Misty:''' We're defending the beauty of truth and love!
:'''Brock:''' Let's do it!
:'''Meowth (''interrupting them''):''' We gotta stop that!

====''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''====
So far, this is the only episode of the series to show Ash and {{ashfr}} actually completely doing the whole original motto.

:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!
:'''Brock:''' And make it Double, Double!
:'''James (''angrily''):''' Uhh, quit imitating us!
:'''Misty:''' To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Duplica:''' To ignite all people within our nation!
:'''Jessie (''angrily''):''' Err! This is insulting!
:'''Ash:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''Misty:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Ash:''' Ash!
:'''Misty:''' Misty!
:'''Brock:''' And Brock!
:'''Duplica:''' Duplica, that's right!
:'''Brock:''' Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!
:'''Duplica:''' Surrender now, or prepare to fight all of us!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika, Pika!

====Schpielbunk's motto====
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.

:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!
:To protect the movies from devastation!
:To restore spectacle and imagination!
:To make great epics of hate and love!
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!
:Lights! Camera!
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!
:That's right!

====''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''====
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a {{AP|Chikorita}}, captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.

:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?
:'''James (''surprised''):''' To unite all peoples within our nation?
:'''Ash:''' Maybe you think I'm a little too brash. But the master is here and my name is Ash!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pikachu!
:'''Ash:''' My Pokémon team is faster than light! Surrender now or you're in for a fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]''====
:'''Dawn (''really angry''):''' Get ready for trouble!
:'''Pikachu (''really angry''):''' Pika!
:'''Brock (''really angry''):''' Make it double!
:'''James (''shocked''):''' Hey, no fair!

====''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''====
:'''Ash:''' Listen, is that bad guy talk I hear?
:'''Dawn:''' It speaks to me loud and clear!
:'''Ash:''' On the wind!
:'''Dawn:''' Past the stars!
:'''Brock:''' In your ear!
:'''Jessie (''interrupting them''):''' It's that kind of imitation they invented lawsuits for!
:'''Dawn:''' Chill out! We couldn't care less about you!
:'''Ash:''' We're looking for Spiritomb!

====''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'' ====
:'''Bonnie:''' Prepare for trouble, I'd say you bad people have finally met your match!
:'''Serena:''' And make it a double-crook catch! To protect the world from — !
:'''Jessie (''interrupting them''):''' Twerp thieves!
:'''James:''' Copyright infringment! Get away from him!
:'''Serena:''' You let us go now, or you're gonna wish you had!

===Blasting off===
[[File:Blast off.png|thumb|240px|right|Blasting off]]
When defeated, and sent flying off due to a Pokémon's attack (usually {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}) or a malfunction in [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mechas]], Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry, {{tt|「やな感じ！」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("What a bad feeling!") in the original, which became "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub) or "We're blasting off again!" ([[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] dub) before disappearing into the distance with a twinkle. The first time they blasted off was in [[EP002|their debut episode]], and the first time the twinkle was seen was during their following blast off, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''.

Blasting off usually happens only once time per episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', in which they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

After ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Team Rocket didn't blast off during the {{series|Best Wishes}}. From ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' onwards, they usually used jetpacks in order to escape. For this reason, those blastoffs weren't against their will nor involved pain, so they didn't scream their famous quote, "We're blasting off again!" either. Starting from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, although they didn't say the catchphrase until ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. They still used their jetpacks in some episodes.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:

:'''R'''aid
:'''O'''n
:'''C'''ity
:'''K'''nock out
:'''E'''vil
:'''T'''usks

When translated from Japanese, this motto means 'Attack cities one after another!! Devastate them!! We are the fangs of evil!!'.

==Trivia==
* The {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Battle Frontier|motto used during the Battle Frontier}} is rather unique since it was said [[AG132|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' season, and [[DP002|once]] during the ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' season.
* In every single one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the [[original series]], he was the one who said the line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch, along with [[Cassidy]], said "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', he was the one who began the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'', he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', in which he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]], the motto was said like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say it.
* The original motto was used in a commercial for {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} in the United States, although without Jessie and James's names or the line "Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light."
* In the Sinnoh motto, Jessie's section of "A rose by any other name is just as sweet" alludes to Act II Scene II Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'', in which Juliet argues:
<blockquote>
What's in a name? that which we call a rose 
By any other name would smell as sweet; 
</blockquote>
: This is a {{wp|A rose by any other name would smell as sweet|commonly quoted phrase}} meaning that the names of things do not matter, only what the thing is.
* In the Unova motto, Jessie likens herself to {{p|Reshiram}} with the words "white" and "fiery", while James likens himself to {{p|Zekrom}} with "black" and "thunderous".
* In the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese dub]], the expression "Preparar para azar!", the Portuguese equivalent to "Prepare for trouble!" (which literally translated is "Prepare for bad luck!") is still used in recent episodes as a Team Rocket's catchphrase, even during some mottos.

Talk:Diancie (Pokémon)

FanOfCountry:

==Userspace==
Out of curiosity, is this meant to be part of your user talk, or the actual page for Diancie (Pokemon). Because the page for Diancie (Pokemon has no text on it.--[[User:BigBadBatter|BigBadBatter]] ([[User talk:BigBadBatter|talk]]) 23:15, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
:Pages are occasionally developed in the userspace and moved to the mainspace later on, rather than making it directly in the mainspace. It should be moving to the mainspace soon though. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 23:40, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
::Thanks for clarifying, I was pretty confused!--[[User:BigBadBatter|BigBadBatter]] ([[User talk:BigBadBatter|talk]]) 02:02, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

==Category==
Just wondering, why is Diancie listed on [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Pok%C3%A9mon_whose_Special_stat_became_both_Special_Attack_and_Special_Defense this page], when it does not fit that category? --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 04:57, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
:It's because the BaseStat template on the page was empty, so the cat is added by default when that happens. [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 05:16, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
::It's just because the base stats template has all 0's in it right now. The math that that template does interprets that (or rather, the SpAtk and SpDef parts) as "Special stat became both Special Attack and Special Defense". The template could be commented out for now (which got done), or we could just let it sit, as is, until we can put the right stats in there. Or someone could also just change the 0's to -1's. That'd still be recognizable as dummy data, and it wouldn't set the category.
::I would point out, ArcToraphim, that Zygarde has a TCG section that looks exactly like Diancie's did before you hid it (that's what I took it from in fact).

== Diancie and Carbink ==

Would it be worth mentioning in the Trivia section that Diancie shares several similarities with Carbink, including its type? [[User:Eskay64|Eskay64]] ([[User talk:Eskay64|talk]]) 11:53, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
:Their shared species name should be put, but that's about it. Lots of Pokémon have the same type combinations and similar origins. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 13:43, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
::It's not just that they have the same type combination, they're the only Pokémon to have it.

Its a waste of time and resources to note every single thing two Pokémon or more share in common. Why does any of this have to be on this or Carbink's pages?

:Well, now there's an official link between the two, since one of Diancie's Pokédex entries calls Diancie [http://www.pokemonxy.com/_ui/img/_en/screenshots/february/diancie_01.jpg "A sudden transformation of Carbink"]. - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 15:15, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
::This isn't the first time a Pokémon, even a legendary Pokémon, has spontaneously formed from a lesser Pokémon, life form or substance. Deoxys came from a simple virus that mutated when exposed to laser radiation. Grimer came about from a sudden mutation of industrial pollutants, same as Muk IIRC. Garbador and it's line are also a similar case. Doduo was discovered as a sudden mutation from a never revealed previous Pokémon. Koffing is another example, in the Y Pokédex (and probably a dex from a previous gen) states "Very rarely, a sudden mutation can result in two small Koffing twins becoming conjoined as a Weezing." Bagon wanted to fly, and a spontaneous change in its cells gave it that wish. Shedinja appears out of the blue when a Nincada evolves into a Ninjask. The genetic disaster known as Eevee is the poster child for sudden mutations. Heck, its not even Pokémon anymore, but also even the berries in the games can now suddenly produce mutations. And its believed all Pokémon outside of Arceus and the trios it created come from Mew.

::Over time Pokémon don't just evolve into a new stage, but they also evolve in a Darwin-like fashion. Their genes become stronger or weaker, they begin to take on new shapes and even coloration. But going back to the Doduo thing, we never mention the Pokémon it mutated from, and treat it as a whole new Pokémon altogether without having "evolved" from the previous Pokémon, which like I said has never been revealed. Also touching back onto the Shedinja thing as well, it too is not 100% considered to be a evolution of Nincada, and is also treated as its own Pokémon for most intents and purposes.

::Unfortunately its still too early to really say much about this new development. Since little info is around, we don't want to make ourselves look foolish by latching onto the smallest bit of info and make a mountain out of an anthill sort-of-speak. For all we know right now, it might turn out that Carbink/Diancie is a {{wp|Zooid}} similar to the Portuguese Man o' war. So until more information is released, we have to remain diligent in preventing speculation and spreading misinformation.

According to http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pokemon-diancie-legendary-character-arrive-pokemon-x-y-113013968.html#G3DXfZk Dianice's base stats are Her base stats: HP 60, Attack 75, Defense 175, Special Attack 75, Special Defense 175, Speed 50, total 610.

Being a hacker myself I have found that it's signature move is Diamond Storm, rock type move it has 100 power and 95 acc and is like skull bash, it charges up and razes defense and next turn attacks.

::First of all, that isn't true at all, Superbobbobbob3. We've already known from an actual photograph from the same hacker who discovered Diancie (Smealum) - and is therefore far more reliable - that Diancie has a signature move called Diamond Storm, and we've already known its type, power, and accuracy. We also know that it is NOT like Skull Bash, but a single-turn move that merely has a chance of raising defense when completed.

== Regarding Diancie and the other two leaked Pokemon ==

A while back when the Gen IV and V games first launched, we had articles of Pokemon like [[Arceus]] and [[Genesect]] well before official sources revealed them or gave them artwork. So why with Gen VI we're being forced to wait for official sources to reveal these event legendaries before we start articles on them? [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 19:15, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
:At the first leak of the three legends, we only had one source that said for certain that these three (Diancie, Volcanion, Hoopa), are in the game's data. This one single hacker was the only first hand source, as every other site that had them claiming to exist sourced him. Anyone in a journalism field will tell you that one source is not enough, and this (at least in my opinion) should apply to Wikis as well. So at the current moment, while we do have official confirmation from CoroCoro that Diancie exists, we still only have one first hand source saying that the other two do. Granted, we will most likely hear from official sources sooner or later, but for now, it's staying as is. Just to not flood yet another talk page with this, the full discussion from ''before'' Diancie was revealed on this topic can be read {{DL|Bulbapedia talk:Editor's Hub|Regarding Volcanion, Hoopa and Diancie|here}}.

::See above. I flat-out say that this is unconfirmed. This is just what I've read from people who have gotten Diancie via the PowerSave3DS. It is ''not confirmed'' at all, and I even say that I don't think it should be added to the article. The reason that I posted it is so that when Diancie is officially obtainable via Event, if this turns out to be its stats/moves, we don't have to waste time writing it all down, we can just copy+paste from the source code of this Talk Page. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 06:57, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

== Pokédex entry template ==

Can someone add this to the Pokédex entry?

 I know we don't know if it's X or Y, but we can use this until we find out which one it is.

:The issue is that there's a second dex entry as well (if you look up a few section). Since we don't seem to know which one is which, it'd may be better to just leave it blank for now. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 00:19, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
::"The Pokédex entry I have from the event on Pokemon Y is: It can instantly create many diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air between its hands." This quote claims that it's from Y, but he or she also says that he or she got it from the event, so he or she may not have known and was lying, or cheated it in and misspoke.

:::According to [http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/719.shtml Serebii.net] "It can instantly create many diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air between its hands." is from Y, while "A sudden transformation of Carbink, its pink, glimmering body is said to be the loveliest sight in the whole world." is from X. I have updated the stuff to match that. [[User:FanOfCountry|FanOfCountry]] ([[User talk:FanOfCountry|talk]]) 20:23, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

==Biology information==
According to the [http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/diancie/ official X and Y game site] it says and I quote: "Groups of Carbink tend to gather around Diancie, but Diancie pays them little heed and acts according to its own will." Maybe something to put in the Biology section? [[User:FanOfCountry|FanOfCountry]] ([[User talk:FanOfCountry|talk]]) 20:23, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

FanOfCountry: /* About Me */

===About Me===
Hello. I am FanOfCountry. I am male and 27 years old. I first was introduced to ''Pokémon'' at the very beginning when the games and anime were first hitting the US and the first ''Pokémon'' game I ever owned was ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red Version]]''. I would later go on to own ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Blue Version]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Yellow|Pokémon Yellow Version]]''. With the second generation of Pokémon I only ended up getting ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver Version]]'' and with the third generation I got all the games from it but I did have one issue come up I lost ''Red'', ''Blue'' and ''Yellow'' long before I got ''Silver'' and ''Silver'', ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby]]'', ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Sapphire]]'', ''[[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]'', ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed]]'' and ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen]]'' were stolen from me. I have since been working on reinstating my game collection and have so far regotten ''Red'', ''Blue'' and ''Silver'' and all the RPG games on the Gameboy Advance. For the first time every though I have actually finally gotten to own ''Crystal'' and have of course gotten all the games on the DS system that have been released and I now own copies of [[Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']]. I first learned of Bulbapedia a few years ago and never really had any interest in editing on it before but I have since come to rely on it a bit. In fact it was thanks to Bulbapedia that I learned of the [[Mew glitch]] that was in ''Red'' and ''Blue'' and I did it (using Method #2) and was for the first time absolutely thrilled to get Mew legitly in the the game (without an actual cheating device) and completed the first 151 Pokémon in the Pokédex of ''Red'' and ''Blue'' for the first time since I originally owned them (I bought a Gameshark to get Mew the first time I owned the games.) Bulbapedia has since taught me some great stuff for the games I own now (such as the [[cloning]] process in ''Gold'' ''Silver'' and ''Crystal''.) So now I have joined up on here. I hope I will be a great contributor for the site. My ultimate favorite Pokémon is, [[Mew]], the mother of all Pokémon.

I have currently completed all the Pokédexes for Generation 1, 2, 4 and 5. And by completed I mean I have captured 151, 251, 493 and 649 on those generation's Pokédex. I am currently working on Generation 6's and am looking for a Gameshark for the GBA to complete the Pokédex in Generation 3.

'''Cacnea''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サボネア''' ''Sabonea'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Cacturne}} starting at [[level]] 32.

==Biology==
Cacnea is a green, bipedal Pokémon with a round body and cactus-like striations. It has a dark green rhombus shape above its face, and six dark green rhombus shapes that ring around its waist. It has dark circles around its eyes, and its mouth composed of several similar circles. It has two dark green spikes on each side of its head, along with a yellow flower bud on top of its head. Its two club-like arms that are ringed with dark green spikes, and its two stubby, legs are dark green and conical.

Cacnea uses its thorny arms like hammers to attack its opponents. The thorns allow it to use its former [[signature move]], {{m|Needle Arm}}. It is able to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|deserts}} for 30 days without any water, due to its body being able to store moisture. The beauty of its yellow flower depends on the harness of its environment. This flower releases a strong aroma to attract prey. When prey approaches, Cacnea shoots sharp thorns to bring it down.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation VI]], Cacnea and {{p|Cacturne|its evolution}}'s [[Egg Group]] ({{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Human-Like}}) are unique.

===Origin===
Cacnea is based on a {{wp|barrel cactus}} and possibly from a {{wp|jack-o'-lantern}}.

====Name origin====
Cacnea is derived from ''cactus'' and is intended to sound like its Japanese name.

Sabonea may be a combination of 仙人掌 ''saboten'' (cactus) and ''debonair''.

==Blurb==

When big trouble threatens the big city, it’s up to Ash, Pikachu, and their friends to stop it!

A vast Pokémon habitat amid the hustle and bustle of the big city seems like the perfect new home for a group of five Genesect. The arrival of these Mythical Pokémon quickly becomes a problem, though: their nest threatens the city’s power supply, and they keep attacking anyone who approaches it. On top of that, they’ve attracted the attention of the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo, who sympathizes with them because its own origins also involve human tampering. The group’s leader, known as Red Genesect, doesn’t trust Mewtwo, and their confrontation quickly rages out of control! Can Ash and friends stop these two powerful Pokémon before they destroy the city?

==Plot==
{{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} is flying with a group of {{type|Flying}} Pokémon over a mountain range, and later, the ocean. Deciding to challenge the limits of its power, Mewtwo flies ahead, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Mewtwo Y and ascending into the sky. Meanwhile, the [[Genesect Army]] arrives at a snowy area that their leader, a [[Shiny Pokémon|Red]] Genesect, believes to be their home. Confused and distressed, the Genesect carrying the {{DL|Drive|Douse Drive}} calls out "I want to go home."

Mewtwo reaches the atmosphere but realizes it cannot stay there and begins falling. After changing back to its ordinary form, Mewtwo hears the Douse Drive Genesect's plea and rushes off to find them. An avalanche begins, and Mewtwo arrives in time to save the four regular Genesect, but the Red Genesect is swept up in the snow. Mewtwo peers into the Douse Drive Genesect's mind and learns that they were resurrected from three-hundred-million-year-old [[Fossil]]s by [[Team Plasma]] but escaped, and they are now searching for their home and see everyone around them as enemies. The Red Genesect returns and attacks Mewtwo, initially out of a belief that it was threatening the other Genesect but later out of anger over learning that their home is gone due to the passage of time. Mewtwo watches as the Genesect Army flees. Later, the five Genesect discover a large city's skyline, and seeing it as similar to their home, the Douse Drive Genesect happily says "I'm going home."

{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} arrive in the central area of [[New Tork City]] and visit the [[Pokémon Hills]] nature park. Their guide, [[Eric]], shows them around, and their Pokémon play with the wild Pokémon in the area for a while. Later, however, {{AP|Pikachu}} sees the Douse Drive Genesect sitting at a pond and staring at flowers floating on the water. The Genesect becomes frightened and folds up, leading Ash to sit on it in the mistaken belief that it is a statue. It flies off with Ash riding on it. After landing, Ash strikes up a friendship with the Genesect, and it tells him that it wants to go home. Ash realizes this means that it is lost and promises to somehow help it get back home. Suddenly, the Red Genesect and {{DL|Drive|Shock Drive}} Genesect arrive. Perceiving Ash's petting the Douse Drive Genesect as harming it, they attack. The Douse Drive Genesect tries to stop them, but using its power, the Red Genesect forces it to attack its new friends. However, Mewtwo suddenly appears and protects the humans from the attack, and the Genesect leave.

In an underground tunnel, Ash, Iris and Cilan thank Mewtwo, but it says it was only protecting Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. Ash insists that Mewtwo tell them what kind of Pokémon they had encountered, so Mewtwo reveals that they are Genesect, Pokémon who were extinct for 300 million years until humans revived them from fossils. Mewtwo explains that it identifies with them due to its own origins as a Pokémon created by humans, then tells the group to forget they ever met it and flies off. {{TRT}}, who were eavesdropping on the conversation, decide to catch both Mewtwo and the Genesect Army.

At the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash spots a photo of the flowers he had seen the Genesect looking at. Eric explains that they are an ancient species known as the Panna Lotus, which he transplanted from [[Absentia Natural Park]] to Pokémon Hills. That night, while Ash, Iris, Cilan and Eric eat at the Pokémon Center, the Genesect begin rampaging in Pokémon Hills, driving all the Pokémon out of the park. Once they have the area to themselves, the Genesect begin spinning a giant cocoon from sturdy threads, but the thread reaches underground into a power station, disrupting the power to the city. Team Rocket sneaks into Pokémon Hills, and Ash and the others rush there after being warned by a {{p|Sableye}} they befriended earlier only to discover all the Pokémon outside as a result of the Genesect rampaging. Cilan returns to the Pokémon Center to help an injured {{p|Ralts}}. Ash, Eric and Iris try to enter but the Shock Drive and {{DL|Drive|Chill Drive}} Genesect push them away, so Eric shows them a workers' corridor used as an alternate entrance. Meanwhile, Team Rocket attempts to capture the Genesect with a bazooka but the Red Genesect spots them and drives them off. The tunnel leads Ash, Iris and Eric to the underground power station, where they discover the threads wrapped around the generators.

Standing on a bridge overlooking the city, Mewtwo muses about its own origins. It flashes back to [[Mewtwo's creators|its creators]] conceiving it in a tank and later torturing it during an experiment, at which point it escaped. As it recalls how it once thought it was alone, it then flashes back to being [[SS026|badly injured after a violent battle]] and being struck by a bolt of lightning, at which point it encountered a cave of wild Pokémon that took it in and cared for it. Having realized it wasn't all alone after all, Mewtwo concludes that the Genesect deserve the same. A pair of {{p|Starly}} arrive and inform Mewtwo of the Genesect Army's rampage in Pokémon Hills, so it sets off.

Ash, Iris, Cilan and Eric reach the main area of Pokémon Hills and are approached by the Douse Drive Genesect, who apologizes for attacking them earlier, leading Ash to conclude that it couldn't refuse the Red Genesect's orders. The Douse Drive Genesect excitedly runs to a pool where it shows them the Panna Lotuses and tells them that it likes the flowers, which grew in its home. Iris realizes that the cocoon is the Genesect Army's nest and that they are trying to turn Pokémon Hills into their new home. When the lights begin flickering again, Eric realizes there is an emergency at the power station and rushes off to resolve it, for if it continues, the station will explode, blacking out New Tork City and sending it into chaos. A {{p|Feraligatr}} native to Pokémon Hills starts fighting with the Red Genesect after breaking part of the cocoon, and when the Red Genesect uses {{m|Blaze Kick}} to knock the Feraligatr off a ledge, Mewtwo appears and rescues it with {{m|Psychic}}.

Mewtwo warns the Red Genesect not to attack the other Pokémon but it refuses to listen, so Mewtwo leads it out of Pokémon Hills while the Chill Drive, Shock Drive and {{DL|Drive|Burn Drive}} Genesect begin attacking Ash, Iris and the other Pokémon. Cilan returns to help, and the Douse Drive Genesect manages to resist the order to attack when it hears Ash's voice. The Red Genesect attacks Mewtwo as they fly through the city, ultimately forcing Mewtwo to fight back by ignoring all of Mewtwo's warnings. Mewtwo Mega Evolves and the two engage in a high-speed chase throughout the city. At Pokémon Hills, the other Genesect fight the wild Pokémon and eventually become overwhelmed, at which point the Red Genesect returns to protect them. When the Red, Burn Drive and Chill Drive Genesect turn to attack a {{p|Persian}}, Ash runs between them in an attempt to stop the attack, the Douse Drive Genesect jumps in the way and takes the full force of its allies' power. After expressing gratitude for Ash being safe, the Douse Drive Genesect's eyes go dark.

The other four Genesect take an aerial formation and begin to attack the rest of the Pokémon, but Mewtwo arrives and shields them. Mewtwo gives the Genesect Army a final warning to stop their rampage or be defeated, which the Red Genesect ignores. All four remaining Genesect engage Mewtwo in battle around the cocoon but are largely unable to keep up, especially when Mewtwo Mega Evolves to increase its speed. To counter this tactic, the Red Genesect orders the other three to try dragging Mewtwo down with their threads, but Mewtwo breaks free using {{m|Psystrike}}. The three regular Genesect fall through into the power station, causing the generators to completely overload, igniting fires on the cocoon's threads and blacking out all of New Tork City. Team Rocket, wandering around in the dark, fall into a work site and land on three {{p|Durant}}, who blast them off with {{m|Energy Ball}}.

As Mewtwo and the Red Genesect speed around the cocoon in pursuit of each other, the fires on the cocoon spread. The Douse Drive Genesect wakes up and attempts to stop it, and {{AP|Oshawott}}, Feraligatr and the other Pokémon help it. The other Genesect climb out from the pit only to be trapped by the flames, but they are freed by Oshawott and Feraligatr. They then return the favor by protecting Ash from a falling piece of debris, having lost their aggression. The Douse Drive Genesect, however, is suddenly caught in a burst of fire and falls unconscious again. Up above, the Red Genesect manages to get in a hit on Mewtwo, nearly sending it falling into the fire; however, Ash, Iris and Cilan catch it. Shifting back to its ordinary form, Mewtwo lands, as does the Red Genesect. After one last exchange of attacks, Ash runs between them and attempts to convince them to stop fighting. The Red Genesect refuses to listen and begins charging a {{m|Techno Blast}} at Ash, but the Douse Drive Genesect wakes up again and weakly begs its leader to stop. It is soon joined by the other Genesect and the Pokémon Hills Pokémon, but the Red Genesect refuses to let go of its quest and now declares even its own kind to be its enemy, firing its Techno Blast.

Mewtwo Mega Evolves and blocks the Techno Blast. Having had enough of the Red Genesect's behavior, Mewtwo restrains it with Psychic and grabs it by the cannon before shooting up into the sky, declaring that they must go beyond the limit, where nobody else exists. It blacks out after flying so high that they both begin to freeze. A short time later, Mewtwo wakes up alongside the Red Genesect in the upper atmosphere. The Red Genesect is in awe of [[Pokémon world|the planet]], and Mewtwo explains that it is the planet where they were both born, that they exist for a reason, and that on this planet, they are all friends. The aggression fades from the Red Genesect's eyes, and it accepts the hand extended by Mewtwo as an invitation to return to their home. However, as they fall, Mewtwo blacks out again. The Red Genesect grabs Mewtwo and uses its power to send a signal to the other Genesect to "return home."

As the last of the fires on the cocoon is put out, the other Genesect get the signal that the Red Genesect and Mewtwo are falling and fly off to help. Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}} and Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} to aid them. The Genesect create a net of thread to catch the two falling Pokémon, and Dragonite and Charizard try to hold it up, but their efforts fail. Ash declares they will catch Mewtwo and Red Genesect themselves, and on a suggestion from Iris, all the Pokémon create a giant cushion of water to catch them. Mewtwo helps the Red Genesect up from the water, and it voices its newfound belief that everyone is its friend. As everyone expresses relief that the crisis is finally over, Ash spots the Panna Lotuses and realizes that he knows where the Genesect can go.

Eric takes Ash, Iris, Cilan and the Genesect Army to Absentia Natural Park, a place where the Panna Lotuses still grow naturally. While the other Genesect build another cocoon there, the Douse Drive Genesect happily tells Ash that it likes its new home. Mewtwo then thanks Ash for helping find the Genesect a home and tells him it will always be grateful that they met before Mega Evolving and flying off. Ash, Iris and Cilan express hope they will meet Mewtwo again someday.

In the credits, the Genesect complete their nest in Absentia Natural Park. Eric is seen guiding a tour of the completed Pokémon Hills now that it is open to the public. Many rivals from the {{series|Best Wishes}} go by, as well as [[Alder]], [[Ingo]], [[Emmet]], [[Cynthia]], [[Professor Juniper]], [[Cedric Juniper]], and [[Don George]]. {{an|N}} is shown walking alone in a polar area. Ash, Iris and Cilan walk past a disguised Team Rocket at a café. Mewtwo arrives in another large city at night and lands on a building, overlooking the vast metropolis.

[[File:M16 Genesect distribution artwork.png|150px|thumb|Genesect distribution artwork]]
===Pre-order distribution===
In Japan, [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Pokémon Hills Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] was distributed at [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center stores]] from June 15 to September 1, 2013 to players who pre-ordered tickets to see the film. The tickets are on sale from April 20 to July 12, 2013.

In Taiwan, it was distributed at select branches of [http://www.funbox.com.tw/ Funbox] from July 13 to August 15, 2013.

===Movie distributions===
[[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Movie Genesect|Genesect]] was distributed at theaters which screened the movie across Japan. It was available from July 13 to September 30, 2013.

In Indonesia and the Philippines, a Mewtwo identical to the one distributed in Japan was distributed to [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Pokémon Hills Mewtwo|Japanese]] and [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Pokémon Hills Mewtwo|English]] language games. In Indonesia, it was distributed on November 2, 6, and 9, 2013 exclusively at the {{wp|Blitzmegaplex}} in the {{wp|Mall of Indonesia}}. In the Philippines, it was distributed on November 16 and 17 at the {{wp|SM Megamall}} in {{wp|Manila}}.

==Trivia==
* The setting for this film is based on {{wp|New York City}}, including {{wp|Central Park}}. Director Kunihiko Yuyama has stated that this is due to his desire to create a contrast between the ancient Genesect and a setting that embraces technology and civilization.
** Several places in the city also reference locations within New York City. For example, an area modeled after {{wp|Times Square}} appears in a few scenes, and the [[Pokémon Center]] where Ash, Iris, Cilan and Eric eat is modeled on the famous restaurant {{wp|Tavern on the Green}}.
* In the scene where Mewtwo and Red Genesect fly through a part of New Tork City patterned after Times Square, some of the video screens are playing a [[Pokémon Baccer]] match between the [[Jubilife City|Jubilife]] Reds and [[Cianwood City|Cianwood]] Greens, the two teams who were seen in the prologue of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* This film marks the first time in which the final movie of an anime series doesn't feature a Pokémon from the following generation.
** It does, however, feature a new form of evolution of an {{p|Mewtwo|old Pokémon}} that can only be obtained starting in the following generation.
** In addition, it is the only movie to not debut any new Pokémon or new forms of Pokémon, as Mega Mewtwo Y and Genesect debuted in ''[[SS026|Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'' and ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', respectively.
* This is the fifth consecutive film in which {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not meet {{TRT}}. However, they are more prominently featured, attempting to capture Mewtwo and Genesect, as opposed to their brief, non-speaking cameos in the [[M15|previous film]].
* This is the first film since ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' to not feature [[Shōko Nakagawa]] as part of its cast. Instead, she appears in the [[Pikachu short]] attached to the film, ''[[PK25|Eevee & Friends]]''.
* This movie has the shortest time between its Japanese release and English debut, only three months.
* The English title of this movie was shown on Taiwanese theater billboards a month before it was officially confirmed.
* This is the only {{series|Best Wishes}} movie to feature Pokémon from generations prior to [[Generation V]] other than [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR}}.
* In addition to the United States, this movie aired on October 19, 2013 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|Italy}}, and {{pmin|France}}, as well as in {{pmin|Indonesia}} on November 2, 2013, and in {{pmin|the Philippines}} on November 13, 2013.
* This is the first movie to air in theaters in {{pmin|Indonesia}}, instead of being aired on TV.
* This is the first movie to be released on DVD in the US before its DVD release in Japan.
* In the credits, a reference to the original Mewtwo is made when the Mewtwo that appeared in this film is shown standing on top of a building overlooking a large city at night. This is the same scene that the original Mewtwo last appeared in at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.
* A Red Genesect [[TCG]] card is included in the English DVD release of this film.

===Dub edits===
* A full version of ''[[It's Always You and Me]]'' replaces ''[[Summerly Slope]]'' as the opening theme, and ''[[We're Coming Home]]'' replaces ''[[Smiling Face]]'' as the ending theme.

===Errors===
[[File:M16 Ash hair error.png|200px|thumb|Ash's eyebrow drawn over his hair]]
* In a scene during the film's credits, Ash's eyebrow is drawn over his hair.
* In the initial Cartoon Network airing of this film, the opening song has an error in which the voices of the characters on screen can be heard over the song itself. This is corrected in the DVD release.

==Blurb==

When big trouble threatens the big city, it’s up to Ash, Pikachu, and their friends to stop it!

A vast Pokémon habitat amid the hustle and bustle of the big city seems like the perfect new home for a group of five Genesect. The arrival of these Mythical Pokémon quickly becomes a problem, though: their nest threatens the city’s power supply, and they keep attacking anyone who approaches it. On top of that, they’ve attracted the attention of the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo, who sympathizes with them because its own origins also involve human tampering. The group’s leader, known as Red Genesect, doesn’t trust Mewtwo, and their confrontation quickly rages out of control! Can Ash and friends stop these two powerful Pokémon before they destroy the city?

==Plot==
{{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} is flying with a group of {{type|Flying}} Pokémon over a mountain range, and later, the ocean. Deciding to challenge the limits of its power, Mewtwo flies ahead, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Mewtwo Y and ascending into the sky. Meanwhile, the [[Genesect Army]] arrives at a snowy area that their leader, a [[Shiny Pokémon|Red]] Genesect, believes to be their home. Confused and distressed, the Genesect carrying the {{DL|Drive|Douse Drive}} calls out "I want to go home."

Mewtwo reaches the atmosphere but realizes it cannot stay there and begins falling. After changing back to its ordinary form, Mewtwo hears the Douse Drive Genesect's plea and rushes off to find them. An avalanche begins, and Mewtwo arrives in time to save the four regular Genesect, but the Red Genesect is swept up in the snow. Mewtwo peers into the Douse Drive Genesect's mind and learns that they were resurrected from three-hundred-million-year-old [[Fossil]]s by [[Team Plasma]] but escaped, and they are now searching for their home and see everyone around them as enemies. The Red Genesect returns and attacks Mewtwo, initially out of a belief that it was threatening the other Genesect but later out of anger over learning that their home is gone due to the passage of time. Mewtwo watches as the Genesect Army flees. Later, the five Genesect discover a large city's skyline, and seeing it as similar to their home, the Douse Drive Genesect happily says "I'm going home."

{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} arrive in the central area of [[New Tork City]] and visit the [[Pokémon Hills]] nature park. Their guide, [[Eric]], shows them around, and their Pokémon play with the wild Pokémon in the area for a while. Later, however, {{AP|Pikachu}} sees the Douse Drive Genesect sitting at a pond and staring at flowers floating on the water. The Genesect becomes frightened and folds up, leading Ash to sit on it in the mistaken belief that it is a statue. It flies off with Ash riding on it. After landing, Ash strikes up a friendship with the Genesect, and it tells him that it wants to go home. Ash realizes this means that it is lost and promises to somehow help it get back home. Suddenly, the Red Genesect and {{DL|Drive|Shock Drive}} Genesect arrive. Perceiving Ash's petting the Douse Drive Genesect as harming it, they attack. The Douse Drive Genesect tries to stop them, but using its power, the Red Genesect forces it to attack its new friends. However, Mewtwo suddenly appears and protects the humans from the attack, and the Genesect leave.

In an underground tunnel, Ash, Iris and Cilan thank Mewtwo, but it says it was only protecting Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. Ash insists that Mewtwo tell them what kind of Pokémon they had encountered, so Mewtwo reveals that they are Genesect, Pokémon who were extinct for 300 million years until humans revived them from fossils. Mewtwo explains that it identifies with them due to its own origins as a Pokémon created by humans, then tells the group to forget they ever met it and flies off. {{TRT}}, who were eavesdropping on the conversation, decide to catch both Mewtwo and the Genesect Army.

At the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash spots a photo of the flowers he had seen the Genesect looking at. Eric explains that they are an ancient species known as the Panna Lotus, which he transplanted from [[Absentia Natural Park]] to Pokémon Hills. That night, while Ash, Iris, Cilan and Eric eat at the Pokémon Center, the Genesect begin rampaging in Pokémon Hills, driving all the Pokémon out of the park. Once they have the area to themselves, the Genesect begin spinning a giant cocoon from sturdy threads, but the thread reaches underground into a power station, disrupting the power to the city. Team Rocket sneaks into Pokémon Hills, and Ash and the others rush there after being warned by a {{p|Sableye}} they befriended earlier only to discover all the Pokémon outside as a result of the Genesect rampaging. Cilan returns to the Pokémon Center to help an injured {{p|Ralts}}. Ash, Eric and Iris try to enter but the Shock Drive and {{DL|Drive|Chill Drive}} Genesect push them away, so Eric shows them a workers' corridor used as an alternate entrance. Meanwhile, Team Rocket attempts to capture the Genesect with a bazooka but the Red Genesect spots them and drives them off. The tunnel leads Ash, Iris and Eric to the underground power station, where they discover the threads wrapped around the generators.

Standing on a bridge overlooking the city, Mewtwo muses about its own origins. It flashes back to [[Mewtwo's creators|its creators]] conceiving it in a tank and later torturing it during an experiment, at which point it escaped. As it recalls how it once thought it was alone, it then flashes back to being [[SS026|badly injured after a violent battle]] and being struck by a bolt of lightning, at which point it encountered a cave of wild Pokémon that took it in and cared for it. Having realized it wasn't all alone after all, Mewtwo concludes that the Genesect deserve the same. A pair of {{p|Starly}} arrive and inform Mewtwo of the Genesect Army's rampage in Pokémon Hills, so it sets off.

Ash, Iris, Cilan and Eric reach the main area of Pokémon Hills and are approached by the Douse Drive Genesect, who apologizes for attacking them earlier, leading Ash to conclude that it couldn't refuse the Red Genesect's orders. The Douse Drive Genesect excitedly runs to a pool where it shows them the Panna Lotuses and tells them that it likes the flowers, which grew in its home. Iris realizes that the cocoon is the Genesect Army's nest and that they are trying to turn Pokémon Hills into their new home. When the lights begin flickering again, Eric realizes there is an emergency at the power station and rushes off to resolve it, for if it continues, the station will explode, blacking out New Tork City and sending it into chaos. A {{p|Feraligatr}} native to Pokémon Hills starts fighting with the Red Genesect after breaking part of the cocoon, and when the Red Genesect uses {{m|Blaze Kick}} to knock the Feraligatr off a ledge, Mewtwo appears and rescues it with {{m|Psychic}}.

Mewtwo warns the Red Genesect not to attack the other Pokémon but it refuses to listen, so Mewtwo leads it out of Pokémon Hills while the Chill Drive, Shock Drive and {{DL|Drive|Burn Drive}} Genesect begin attacking Ash, Iris and the other Pokémon. Cilan returns to help, and the Douse Drive Genesect manages to resist the order to attack when it hears Ash's voice. The Red Genesect attacks Mewtwo as they fly through the city, ultimately forcing Mewtwo to fight back by ignoring all of Mewtwo's warnings. Mewtwo Mega Evolves and the two engage in a high-speed chase throughout the city. At Pokémon Hills, the other Genesect fight the wild Pokémon and eventually become overwhelmed, at which point the Red Genesect returns to protect them. When the Red, Burn Drive and Chill Drive Genesect turn to attack a {{p|Persian}}, Ash runs between them in an attempt to stop the attack, the Douse Drive Genesect jumps in the way and takes the full force of its allies' power. After expressing gratitude for Ash being safe, the Douse Drive Genesect's eyes go dark.

The other four Genesect take an aerial formation and begin to attack the rest of the Pokémon, but Mewtwo arrives and shields them. Mewtwo gives the Genesect Army a final warning to stop their rampage or be defeated, which the Red Genesect ignores. All four remaining Genesect engage Mewtwo in battle around the cocoon but are largely unable to keep up, especially when Mewtwo Mega Evolves to increase its speed. To counter this tactic, the Red Genesect orders the other three to try dragging Mewtwo down with their threads, but Mewtwo breaks free using {{m|Psystrike}}. The three regular Genesect fall through into the power station, causing the generators to completely overload, igniting fires on the cocoon's threads and blacking out all of New Tork City. Team Rocket, wandering around in the dark, fall into a work site and land on three {{p|Durant}}, who blast them off with {{m|Energy Ball}}.

As Mewtwo and the Red Genesect speed around the cocoon in pursuit of each other, the fires on the cocoon spread. The Douse Drive Genesect wakes up and attempts to stop it, and {{AP|Oshawott}}, Feraligatr and the other Pokémon help it. The other Genesect climb out from the pit only to be trapped by the flames, but they are freed by Oshawott and Feraligatr. They then return the favor by protecting Ash from a falling piece of debris, having lost their aggression. The Douse Drive Genesect, however, is suddenly caught in a burst of fire and falls unconscious again. Up above, the Red Genesect manages to get in a hit on Mewtwo, nearly sending it falling into the fire; however, Ash, Iris and Cilan catch it. Shifting back to its ordinary form, Mewtwo lands, as does the Red Genesect. After one last exchange of attacks, Ash runs between them and attempts to convince them to stop fighting. The Red Genesect refuses to listen and begins charging a {{m|Techno Blast}} at Ash, but the Douse Drive Genesect wakes up again and weakly begs its leader to stop. It is soon joined by the other Genesect and the Pokémon Hills Pokémon, but the Red Genesect refuses to let go of its quest and now declares even its own kind to be its enemy, firing its Techno Blast.

Mewtwo Mega Evolves and blocks the Techno Blast. Having had enough of the Red Genesect's behavior, Mewtwo restrains it with Psychic and grabs it by the cannon before shooting up into the sky, declaring that they must go beyond the limit, where nobody else exists. It blacks out after flying so high that they both begin to freeze. A short time later, Mewtwo wakes up alongside the Red Genesect in the upper atmosphere. The Red Genesect is in awe of [[Pokémon world|the planet]], and Mewtwo explains that it is the planet where they were both born, that they exist for a reason, and that on this planet, they are all friends. The aggression fades from the Red Genesect's eyes, and it accepts the hand extended by Mewtwo as an invitation to return to their home. However, as they fall, Mewtwo blacks out again. The Red Genesect grabs Mewtwo and uses its power to send a signal to the other Genesect to "return home."

As the last of the fires on the cocoon is put out, the other Genesect get the signal that the Red Genesect and Mewtwo are falling and fly off to help. Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}} and Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} to aid them. The Genesect create a net of thread to catch the two falling Pokémon, and Dragonite and Charizard try to hold it up, but their efforts fail. Ash declares they will catch Mewtwo and Red Genesect themselves, and on a suggestion from Iris, all the Pokémon create a giant cushion of water to catch them. Mewtwo helps the Red Genesect up from the water, and it voices its newfound belief that everyone is its friend. As everyone expresses relief that the crisis is finally over, Ash spots the Panna Lotuses and realizes that he knows where the Genesect can go.

Eric takes Ash, Iris, Cilan and the Genesect Army to Absentia Natural Park, a place where the Panna Lotuses still grow naturally. While the other Genesect build another cocoon there, the Douse Drive Genesect happily tells Ash that it likes its new home. Mewtwo then thanks Ash for helping find the Genesect a home and tells him it will always be grateful that they met before Mega Evolving and flying off. Ash, Iris and Cilan express hope they will meet Mewtwo again someday.

In the credits, the Genesect complete their nest in Absentia Natural Park. Eric is seen guiding a tour of the completed Pokémon Hills now that it is open to the public. Many rivals from the {{series|Best Wishes}} go by, as well as [[Alder]], [[Ingo]], [[Emmet]], [[Cynthia]], [[Professor Juniper]], [[Cedric Juniper]], and [[Don George]]. {{an|N}} is shown walking alone in a polar area. Ash, Iris and Cilan walk past a disguised Team Rocket at a café. Mewtwo arrives in another large city at night and lands on a building, overlooking the vast metropolis.

==Events==
[[File:M16 Genesect distribution artwork.png|150px|thumb|Genesect distribution artwork]]
===Pre-order distribution===
In Japan, [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Pokémon Hills Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] was distributed at [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center stores]] from June 15 to September 1, 2013 to players who pre-ordered tickets to see the film. The tickets are on sale from April 20 to July 12, 2013.

In Taiwan, it was distributed at select branches of [http://www.funbox.com.tw/ Funbox] from July 13 to August 15, 2013.

===Movie distributions===
[[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Movie Genesect|Genesect]] was distributed at theaters which screened the movie across Japan. It was available from July 13 to September 30, 2013.

In Indonesia and the Philippines, a Mewtwo identical to the one distributed in Japan was distributed to [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Pokémon Hills Mewtwo|Japanese]] and [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Pokémon Hills Mewtwo|English]] language games. In Indonesia, it was distributed on November 2, 6, and 9, 2013 exclusively at the {{wp|Blitzmegaplex}} in the {{wp|Mall of Indonesia}}. In the Philippines, it was distributed on November 16 and 17 at the {{wp|SM Megamall}} in {{wp|Manila}}.

==Trivia==
* The setting for this film is based on {{wp|New York City}}, including {{wp|Central Park}}. Director Kunihiko Yuyama has stated that this is due to his desire to create a contrast between the ancient Genesect and a setting that embraces technology and civilization.
** Several places in the city also reference locations within New York City. For example, an area modeled after {{wp|Times Square}} appears in a few scenes, and the [[Pokémon Center]] where Ash, Iris, Cilan and Eric eat is modeled on the famous restaurant {{wp|Tavern on the Green}}.
* In the scene where Mewtwo and Red Genesect fly through a part of New Tork City patterned after Times Square, some of the video screens are playing a [[Pokémon Baccer]] match between the [[Jubilife City|Jubilife]] Reds and [[Cianwood City|Cianwood]] Greens, the two teams who were seen in the prologue of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* This film marks the first time in which the final movie of an anime series doesn't feature a Pokémon from the following generation.
** It does, however, feature a new form of evolution of an {{p|Mewtwo|old Pokémon}} that can only be obtained starting in the following generation.
** In addition, it is the only movie to not debut any new Pokémon or new forms of Pokémon, as Mega Mewtwo Y and Genesect debuted in ''[[SS026|Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'' and ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', respectively.
* This is the fifth consecutive film in which {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not meet {{TRT}}. However, they are more prominently featured, attempting to capture Mewtwo and Genesect, as opposed to their brief, non-speaking cameos in the [[M15|previous film]].
* This is the first film since ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' to not feature [[Shōko Nakagawa]] as part of its cast. Instead, she appears in the [[Pikachu short]] attached to the film, ''[[PK25|Eevee & Friends]]''.
* This movie has the shortest time between its Japanese release and English debut, only three months.
* The English title of this movie was shown on Taiwanese theater billboards a month before it was officially confirmed.
* This is the only {{series|Best Wishes}} movie to feature Pokémon from generations prior to [[Generation V]] other than [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR}}.
* In addition to the United States, this movie aired on October 19, 2013 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Spain}}, {{pmin|Germany}}, {{pmin|Italy}}, and {{pmin|France}}, as well as in {{pmin|Indonesia}} on November 2, 2013, and in {{pmin|the Philippines}} on November 13, 2013.
* This is the first movie to air in theaters in {{pmin|Indonesia}}, instead of being aired on TV.
* This is the first movie to be released on DVD in the US before its DVD release in Japan.
* In the credits, a reference to the original Mewtwo is made when the Mewtwo that appeared in this film is shown standing on top of a building overlooking a large city at night. This is the same scene that the original Mewtwo last appeared in at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.
* A Genesect [[TCG]] card is included in the English DVD release of this film.

===Dub edits===
* A full version of ''[[It's Always You and Me]]'' replaces ''[[Summerly Slope]]'' as the opening theme, and ''[[We're Coming Home]]'' replaces ''[[Smiling Face]]'' as the ending theme.

===Errors===
[[File:M16 Ash hair error.png|200px|thumb|Ash's eyebrow drawn over his hair]]
* In a scene during the film's credits, Ash's eyebrow is drawn over his hair.
* In the initial Cartoon Network airing of this film, the opening song has an error in which the voices of the characters on screen can be heard over the song itself. This is corrected in the DVD release.

FanOfCountry: /* About Me */ Grammar and updates.

===About Me===
Hello. I am FanOfCountry. I am male and 27 years old. I first was introduced to ''Pokémon'' at the very beginning when the games and anime were first hitting the US and the first ''Pokémon'' game I ever owned was ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red Version]]''. I would later go on to own ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Blue Version]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Yellow|Pokémon Yellow Version]]''. With the second generation of Pokémon I only ended up getting ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver Version]]'' and with the third generation I got all the games from it but I did have one issue come up I lost ''Red'', ''Blue'' and ''Yellow'' long before I got ''Silver'' and ''Silver'', ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby]]'', ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Sapphire]]'', ''[[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]'', ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed]]'' and ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen]]'' were stolen from me. I have since been working on reinstating my game collection and have so far regotten ''Red'', ''Blue'' and ''Silver'' and all the RPG games on the Gameboy Advance. For the first time every though I have actually finally gotten to own ''Crystal'' and have of course gotten all the games on the DS system that have been released and I know own copies of [[Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']]. I first learned of Bulbapedia a few years ago and never really had any interest in editing on it before but I have since come to rely on it a bit. In fact it was thanks to Bulbapedia that I learned of the [[Mew glitch]] that was in ''Red'' and ''Blue'' and I did it (using Method #2) and was for the first time absolutely thrilled to get Mew legitly in the the game (without an actual cheating device) and completed the first 151 Pokémon in the Pokédex of ''Red'' and ''Blue'' for the first time since I originally owned them (I bought a Gameshark to get Mew the first time I owned the games.) Bulbapedia has since taught me some great stuff for the games I own now (such as the [[cloning]] process in ''Gold'' ''Silver'' and ''Crystal''.) So now I have joined up on here. I hope I will be a great contributor for the site. My ultimate favorite Pokémon is, [[Mew]], the mother of all Pokémon.

I have currently completed all the Pokédexes for Generation 1, 2, 4 and 5. And by completed I mean I have captured 151, 251, 493 and 649 on those generation's Pokédex. I am currently working on Generation 6's and am looking for a Gameshark for the GBA to complete the Pokédex in Generation 3.

==Blurb==

There's a legend out there, about a Sea Temple created by the People of the Water, where the Sea Crown is kept. No one has ever seen this Sea Crown, and very few people even know the story of the temple, except a few members of the People of the Water who wander through the Pokémon world. That all changes when a Pokémon Ranger named Jackie rescues a Manaphy Egg from a greedy pirate named Phantom! Phantom is absolutely determined to snatch the Sea Crown, and he'll need Manaphy to get to it. To stay one step ahead, Jackie will need to enlist the help of the People of the Water.

A chance encounter with the People of the Water puts Ash, May and friends right in the thick of the action, and May forms a very special bond with the Legendary Manaphy, even as the specter of Phantom hovers ever closer! Together, they must find the Sea Temple before Phantom does, unlocking the secret that connects Manaphy and the Sea Temple!

==Plot==
===Prologue===
A mysterious {{pkmn|Egg}} floats by in the ocean teeming with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It glides along the water, going through a school of {{p|Remoraid}}, past a few {{p|Clamperl}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, and whatnot. The Egg finally settles down as a group of {{p|Lanturn}} and {{p|Chinchou}} have a look. Suddenly the school of fish-like Pokémon swim away as spotlights shine upon the Egg. Above the water, three helicopters hover low over the surface, scanning the Egg. Confirmation of the "treasure" is relayed to a large submarine underwater; where aboard [[Captain Phantom]] of the Phantom Troop executes his plan to secure the Egg. His {{p|Chatot}} flies onto the shoulder of the Captain's right-hand man, squawking the Captain's words.

Once the submarine gets close enough, a mechanical arm goes out to encase the Egg in a glass case and brings it back. With the operation a success, Captain Phantom heads down to the room where the Egg sits on a stand, still encased by the glass container. He marvels at his prize, and just before he could grab it, one of his pirates snatches it. Angered by the traitor, the Captain sends his men after him, but the mysterious traitor dodges their lunges. Escaping down a corridor, he is sandwiched at either end. Fortunately, there is a ladder on a vertical conveyor that he uses to escape. Getting to a higher floor, he jumps off the ladder, kicking the guardrail so that his pursuers can't find a way up without bumping their head on it. He makes a quick stop to the mess hall kitchen. While securing the Egg in a carrying bag, he makes contact with his "mission coordinator", [[Judy]], to tell her he's secured the Egg. But just as he was ending the transmission, the pirates found him and began surrounding him. The traitor makes his move by jumping on pots, landing in a way that they fly onto the heads of the others as he makes his escape. On his way out, he pours a sack of potatoes onto the floor to keep the ones behind him busy.

Finding his way outside, the traitor finds himself yet again chased down by the persistent crew of the submarine. He runs to the other side of the sub, jumping over a trapdoor that was opening to reveal Captain Phantom. The traitor reaches the bow of the submarine, finding himself trapped. The Captain releases a {{p|Pinsir}} and a {{p|Parasect}} and demands his name and threatens him to return the Egg, otherwise his Pokémon will attack. The traitor introduces himself as [[Jack Walker|Jack "Jackie" Walker]]. He jumps up to the roof of the front part of the sub, just barely avoiding Pinsir's attack. At the very edge of the boat, he finds a few {{p|Mantine}} swimming about, feeling lucky they followed. Pulling out a [[Capture Styler]], he manages to catch a Mantine just before Captain Phantom makes his way on top. Phantom threatens Jackie to return the Egg shortly before Jackie jumps off the boat, landing on the Mantine and escapes with it using {{m|Confuse Ray}} before {{m|Dive|diving}} into the ocean. Angry, Phantom tells Pinsir to use a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at the water, but by the time, Jackie swims off with the captured Mantine to safety. Pinsir and Parasect are obviously dazed, and Chatot is flying in circles.

===Main Storyline===
{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] are traveling down a bright road. It's very hot and everyone is sweaty, tired, and desperate to find shelter. But where they're traveling on is nothing more than a dirt road with an expansive grass field and just a tree here and there and Max's [[PokéNav]] can't get a signal from their current location. Max stops to ask May for some water as he ran out. May gives her thermos to Max, who finds out that it's empty as well. Both collapse in shock while Ash looks back. He sees a ball of water floating in the distance, and is a bit confused before he mentions "Water". Max and May both perk up to see before Max begins running off towards where the water ball's direction.

They come across what appears to be several water balls, with {{type|Water}} Pokémon in them, and in the middle of it all stands a female teenager. Max goes up to her and asks if he can have some water, to which she gives permission. Max then goes to a nearby water ball and begins sucking some water from it, but a {{p|Gorebyss}} pokes Max away. The rest of the gang comes by, and the teenager asks who they are. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} introduce themselves, except Brock who takes a good look at her and finally declares out that the teenager is [[Lizabeth]]. Brock then gets his little book of women he admires out of his [[bag|backpack]] and then pulls up Lizabeth's page. He explains that Lizabeth and her family run an outside circus show with water Pokémon. {{AP|Pikachu}} wanders off a bit to find a {{p|Meditite}} and {{p|Medicham}} duo with a couple of {{p|Poliwag}} and a {{p|Poliwhirl}}. They greet Pikachu with the water Pokémon {{m|Water Gun|shooting some water out}} while the Meditite and Medicham use {{m|Psychic}} to form it into a Pikachu-shaped figure. The gang understands how the water balls are formed.

Several people soon come out of the trailer, wondering who Ash and company were. Lizabeth says that they're acquaintances and are just looking for some water. They all introduce themselves, the family of performers that runs the circus. The mother is [[Meredith]], the father is {{mov|Kyle}}, and the grandfather is [[Ship]]. They also have a clown who just joined them recently. May comments on how young Meredith looks, thinking she was Lizabeth's older sister. Meredith laughs and accidentally smacks May on her head a little too hard as she does.

Inside the trailer, Max enjoys a glass of water he needed. Afterward, a friendly {{p|Buizel}} comes by to play with him for a bit. As the others discuss things, May notices the Buizel hopping up to a bunk bed, going up to the top bunk where a canister lays. It presses a button and it clears up, revealing the mysterious Egg from before. May stares at it for a while before Kyle comes by and closes the curtain that was partially covering the bunk before excusing himself. To lighten up the mood, Lizabeth invites everyone to a free show they'll be performing in the next town. Everyone is happy to accept.

The show starts off with one large sphere of water being created, as a {{p|Seaking}} and {{p|Dewgong}} are let inside. Then the Meditite and Medicham then split the sphere into two, and soon Kyle and Meredith join in the act by diving in. Several more spheres are created with an assortment of Water Pokémon getting inside them. Lizabeth jumps in and rides the Dewgong to the top, clearing out and then jumping back in. Meanwhile, the clown walks around, wearing a {{p|Sharpedo}} get-up. As he's juggling a few balls, a group of {{p|Goldeen}} in small water spheres come near him. He uses the Sharpedo costume to "eat" the Goldeen, but then acts out as if he has indigestion and the Goldeen pop out on the other side. The gang was watching from the trailer nearby, and soon they were pushed into water spheres of their own, with everything combining into one. Then the Meditite and Medicham began surrounding the large water sphere with energy, before it exploded into steam, with the performing family and the gang at the bottom, and all the water Pokémon in their own bubbles, ending the show.

The Buizel was busy in the trailer, finding his way up to the bunk with the container. He takes a look at it again before it tips it over the edge. Grabbing it, he also tries to save himself before falling over onto the floor. He carries the container between the trailer and the circus-style decorated vehicle up front. May happens to be there when she spots Buizel, and sees the container once again. Up on the rooftops however, are [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]], spying on what the gang and the circus troupe were up to. James happens to notice the container only for a split moment until the clown comes by to take it away from Buizel, and then leaves without a word, giving it to Lizabeth who then puts it upon a shelf, and closes a curtain around it. Later as the troupe was packing, the gang was invited to travel with them to the next town.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth relax at a fountain, when Jessie and Meowth notice James looking at a "Team Rocket Magazine". James mentions he saw the circus crew having an object he found in the magazine. And then he finds the page with a picture of the Egg and Captain Phantom. They plan on following the trailer, and will eventually make their attack. After the troupe packs up, the gang is invited to ride along until the next town, since it's a mountainous region. They take the offer and are soon off. As they pass by, the Team Rocket trio hides out in an alley. James is attempting to make a call, but had to cut the line when they realize they can just hitchhike on the troupe's trailer.

That night, while everyone was asleep, Buizel walked about the trailer, finding the shelf where the container was. He climbed up and presses the button, revealing the Egg once again. Moonlight shines through it and it begins to glow red. The light shines upon May, which creates dream of her being in an undersea world. Numerous water Pokémon swim by her before a mysterious one suddenly swims up to her. It was small, and looked very friendly and playful. Then up ahead, May could see what looked like an underwater palace surrounded by a bubble. The mysterious Pokémon soon swims past her and she screams out "Wait!". At that moment, she wakes up and also screams "Wait!". Lizabeth is sitting nearby wondering what happened before telling her good morning.

The trailer has stopped at a nearby river in a mountainous region, stopping for a late breakfast. A table is set up outside near the river and they enjoy their meal of Italian dishes. During the meal May talks about her mysterious dream last night, mentioning seeing a Pokémon she never saw before and a strange palace under the sea. Mysterious as it sounded to Ash and the others, the circus crew seemed to act out as if it was mysterious too, that is until Lizabeth and Minamo said that they had the same dream, and it's related to a legend, but Ship tells them to not tell right now. As they begin packing up after the meal, Jessie, James, and Meowth make their move. Jessie successfully finds the Egg after looking around in the trailer. But as they gather to get a closer look, the Egg begins to glow. A red lightning trails out and passes through each of their heads. When the odd experience ends, the group finds themselves have their body swapped, with Jessie as Meowth, Meowth as James and James as Jessie.

They continue to freak out about the swapping of minds until everyone comes back from their meal. They spot the Team Rocket members just as they leave. They begin to recite their {{motto}}, but end with a feeling that it doesn't feel right since their bodies are switched. They make a run for it with the Egg with Ash following them. But before Ash can reach the Rockets; they escape to a [[Transport in Pokémon|balloon]], with a cycle driven propeller. They make their get away and Ash was about to have Pikachu take them down with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the clown suddenly comes up telling him to stop. If the balloon blows up, it'll damage the Egg. He takes out a Capture Styler from his pocket and finds a nearby {{p|Fearow}}. He uses it to catch the Fearow to pursue Team Rocket. Just as Fearow takes off, Pikachu hops on Fearow's back and the two Pokémon soon catch up. Pikachu lands on the cycling mechanism in front and begins sparking up. Then it snags the Egg and drops down, landing on Fearow. The bird Pokémon then flies up, threatening to poke the balloon as the Rockets panic, wanting the James Meowth to do something but he can't, and the Fearow {{m|peck}}s at the balloon, sending the Rockets away.

Fearow delivers Pikachu back to Ash, with May, Max, Brock, and Lizabeth nearby. Lizabeth takes the case with the Egg away before the clown shows up. Ash recognized the Capture Styler he used, and concludes he must be a {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. The clown nods before taking off his disguise to reveal that was Jackie. Jackie shows the gang the Egg when things finally settle down, but his cover was compromised, as Team Rocket figured out about the Egg. But just as they were about to head back, several helicopters begin to show up on the horizon. And upon closer inspection, those helicopters bore the Phantom Troop's insignia. Jackie warns them of who they are and begins to make a run for it in a rocky path. Captain Phantom releases two {{p|Beedrill}} to chase after them, and soon the gang is making an attempt to run. They split up in order to split their pursuers up, with Ash following Jackie, and Max, May, Brock, and Lizabeth taking another route. Along the path Ash and Jackie take, Captain Phantom jumps down from his chopper and proceeds to chase after them. At some point, Jackie covers the Egg container with a towel and along with Ash, goes behind a rock just before the Captain could make it. Jackie is seen running off with the towel, and the Captain begins chasing after him. But Ash sneaks off in the other direction with the Egg.

Meanwhile Max and May split up from Brock and Lizabeth. Eventually Max and May cross paths with Ash, only to find that the Captain's right hand man was right behind them with a Beedrill. The Beedrill attacks with {{m|Pin Missile}}, Pikachu countering with Thunderbolt. Then the three try to escape, but Beedrill uses {{m|Sludge Bomb}} to block their path. Ash decides to stay behind to take care of the Beedrill, while May and Max run off with the Egg. Meanwhile, Captain Phantom manages to catch up with Jackie, only to have Jackie reveal that what he was carrying was a pair of juggling balls. He throws one at Phantom, in which he smacks it towards a nearby cliff wall. The ball simply bounces back and smacks Phantom in his face. Taking advantage of the odd but fortunate turn of things, Jackie runs off, jumping on a boulder. But somehow Phantom begins picking it up, and tosses it. Jackie jumps off however, but the Captain isn't interested in him anymore and begins searching for the Egg.

Max and May find themselves at split in their path, hoping that everyone is okay. Suddenly the Captain appears from behind and tries to pry the Egg container from May's hands. As May struggles to keep a grip, Max jumps on Phantom, stretching out his mouth. But Phantom was pulling on the lid, and soon it popped off, sending the Egg flying. May drops the container and dives in to catch the Egg. Ash manages to catch up at this point, but the Egg begins to shine. Then the entire Egg glows white before two antennae come out, and when the glow fades away, {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}} is finally born. It opens its eyes to see May, but begins crying. May tries to calm the newly born Manaphy while the Captain is disappointed that something like Manaphy was the treasure he was looking for. But even so, he's not about to give up that easily and begins to make his move. Jackie comes in time to keep Phantom busy enough for Ash, May, and Max to escape. Jackie follows shortly afterwards and the four find the trailer (which Brock and Lizabeth managed to get back to beforehand). Jackie stays behind as the others get on to ambush Phantom to delay him once more.

The trailer takes off, leaving everyone to wonder about Manaphy. It slept in May's lap, happy and peacefully. Meredith wanted to try holding it, but as soon as she held it, Manaphy began crying. After Meredith gave Manaphy back to May, it stopped crying and was happy once again. They begin to wonder if Manaphy has imprinted May as its mother, considering that it was the first thing it saw. However, Phantom is once more on their tail, and two helicopters launch grappling rods to keep themselves affixed, and also to slow the trailer down. Ship comes in from the front car, telling the others inside to get in. Meredith first goes in; helping May so she doesn't fall. Brock then steps out to help Lizabeth, followed by Max and Ash. Ship gets out last as he unlatches the trailer. This sends the helicopters flying backwards, momentarily losing control as the trailer careens off a cliff. The choppers manage to cut their grappling lines and regain control.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth wake up from after crashing. They find themselves on top of a ruin. Jessie mentions having a weird "dream" that she was Meowth; the Meowth mentions that he was James, and James mentions he was Jessie. They suddenly realize that it wasn't a dream and that Pokémon Egg must've done something. The find {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} standing on the edge, "agreeing" with the weird occurrences that happened. But they soon see the circus crew pulling up to the ruin. After everyone gets out, the Phantom Troop soon arrives. Jessie, James, and Meowth decide to try to get Phantom to "recruit" them so that they can let Phantom do all the work in getting the Egg, and they'll steal it at an opportune time.

The gang heads down into to ruins, deeper until they reach what appears to be a dead end. Ship however holds his bracelet of seashells near a gem in the end wall. It glows to resemble a combination lock. He slides it to the right combination and a door opens up. Kai asks everyone if they have water Pokémon, since they'll be traveling down a canal. A few minutes later, Phantom steps down into the ruins, coming across the same dead end. However Phantom knows of this somehow and he pulls out a similar bracelet from his pocket. To his disappointment however, he comes across the canal, but there's no way for him to go. Getting back to the surface, Phantom finds the Rocket Trio washing his helicopter. After asking what they were doing and wanted, Jessie, James, and Meowth offer their cleaning services to Phantom, to which he promptly refuses. However, with stubbornness, the Rockets get to go along with Phantom as cleaners.

As the gang swims down the canal, Manaphy is enjoying its time in the water. They soon come up to another wall, in which is decorated with murals that tell a legend. Ship explains that there was once Ocean Temple named [[Samiya]] where water Pokémon and "people of water" had resided, and where a "King of the Sea" lived. However, evil spirits began invading, and so the king used his power to protect the temple, he encased it in a bubble and took it below the ocean. However normally it cannot be seen, but when its time for the "Prince of the Sea" to return, the moon will glow red for a brief period and Samiya will be visible. But there's a time limit once the Prince is born to return. Manaphy is this "Prince of the Sea", and so Ship plans on leading them to a port town, where he'll have a boat waiting to take Manaphy to Samiya.

Meanwhile, Phantom tries to find a possible idea to where the gang could've gone. But as his right hand man attempts to map out the route, the canal suddenly branches off into many different paths. They'll just have to spend their time finding out where they've gone.

The gang reaches a port town, where they wait for a while as Ship's boat comes along. They take a moment to rest and enjoy ice cream. Manaphy is now asleep in a bassinet, probably tired after all the swimming. Ship quickly finishes his cone as he spots his ship coming in, and warns the others that it's arrived. At the port, three of Ship's old shipmates [[Gabu]], [[Dabu]], and [[Sabu]] step out to greet their old friend, and they want to go with Ship on the expedition to Samiya (though he doesn't tell them that specifically). Ship of course introduces the gang to his old shipmates, as he used to be an avid adventurer of the seas in his boat Blue Lagoon. However, Ship only takes his family, Jackie, and Manaphy along. May is upset at this, but she knows that it's for the better that Manaphy gets released. Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu though encourage May to stop them so she could get on, and Ash, not willing to put off an adventure like this, also joins in with May to stop the boat.

Manaphy on board soon wakes up and Jackie tries to comfort it. But it soon shoots out a red lighting that hits Jackie, and then trails down into the ocean back to the port. It travels towards Ash and May, and then suddenly Ash gets his foot caught by the lightning. Then, Jackie and Ash switch bodies, leaving them confused. Manaphy is happy though to see the Jackie Ash, but the real Jackie continues running towards the end of the port.

Later on, the gang gets on the boat, Jackie and Ash exchanging comments about that weird experience they just had. Jackie however says that this is one of Manaphy's powers, {{m|Heart Swap}}. Ship then tells May that Manaphy is referred to as the Prince of the Sea. May asks Manaphy if the reason he switched Ash and Jackie was so they wouldn't leave without her. Manaphy nods happily while May gives him a nuzzle on the cheek, saying he makes her happy. Manaphy then says happy, leaving everyone to the excitement that Manaphy can talk. Meredith recalls Lizabeth's first word which was apparently "Fu Fu," meaning food. Ship then says she loved to eat and Meredith chuckles. Ash and Max try to get Manaphy to say their names, but Manaphy resumes speaking out its name. Manaphy then rubs his flipper on May's cheek and she hugs it, saying that its cute. Jackie looks at them bonding, obviously not pleased about Manaphy getting close to May. Ship says that Manaphy needs to guide them to Samiya, and that Manaphy has to be released into the water. May lets Manaphy back into the ocean, and it jumps around swimming freely.

As Manaphy swims by, Ship brings the gang down to a lower part of the boat. After releasing a hatch, a dome in front of them opens up to reveal an underwater forward observation room. And they see Manaphy swim by with the various ocean faring Pokémon. Manaphy sees May and tries to swim up to her, but it hits hard on the glass dome. It begins crying but May tries to comfort it and Manaphy is once more a happy camper. Days pass, Manaphy still following the Blue Lagoon, trying to call out to May every so often. Jackie still sees some disproving in this, as if Manaphy gets too close to May, he may not go back to Samiya. Jackie though is scouting out of the ocean, probably looking for both the location of where Samiya is or perhaps looking out for Phantom. In one instance, he was parasailing to get a much better view. Ash watched him from below, commenting how cool it must be to be a Pokémon Ranger.

The boat makes a stop over a coral reef and the gang decides to take a swim. Although May seems still a bit preoccupied on the boat still, with Manaphy sleeping in her arms. Ash gets back on the boat to find Jackie, who hands him a towel as he comes up. Ash asks Jackie how he would decide to become a Pokémon Ranger. When Jackie was much younger, he got caught in a blizzard in his homeland. He found refuge in a cave, stumbling in and shivering from the cold. A {{p|Swablu}} comes down next to him, and he realizes that the cave is filled with Swablu, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Sentret}}, and {{p|Furret}}. They all huddle next to him to keep warm, and he stays the night there. The next morning, the storm has cleared up and all the Pokémon begin moving out of the cave. After seeing the flock of bird Pokémon take off, he was interested in Pokémon life, and wanted to defend such, and so he's been on adventures. After hearing that story, Ash gets a bit excited and he soon jumps back into the ocean, with Buizel. May goes in as well with Manaphy, and the both of them explore the coral reef together. They both resurface and May cuddles Manaphy lovingly.

Later that night, May is sleeping outside with Manaphy on a hammock. She tells Manaphy that she loves him, and asks Manaphy if he can say "I love you." Manaphy looks at her with a questioned look on his face. May then helps him out by saying "you." Manaphy almost said it, so May repeats "you" one more time. Manaphy finally learns and says "looove you!" May praises Manaphy, and Manaphy says happy. May affectionately hugs Manaphy while Manaphy tells May he loves her. Jackie is watching from above, and is very concerned about the relationship between Manaphy and May.

Later the next day, Brock is cooking a meal with Meredith, who finds his cooking to be very impressive. May is seen walking down the hallway towards the underwater observation when she hears Jackie talking with Ash. He tells Ash that Manaphy being all cuddly with May isn't such a good thing. After all, Manaphy is supposed to be the Prince of the Sea, a leader. How's a leader going to look if it acts how it does to May? At that, May suddenly comes in, telling Jackie that Manaphy will still do a fine job being a leader, and then she rushes out just as Lizabeth was about to enter. Manaphy is outside the boat, trying to get May's attention as May is curled up against a hallway wall. Lizabeth finds her and tries to console her, as May doesn't seem to want to let Manaphy go. To help her feel better, Lizabeth gives May her sea shell bracelet. Later that night, Manaphy sits on a rock, looking at the moon. It begins to {{m|sing}}, and as it does, Pokémon begin crowding near Manaphy. It seems Manaphy has influence on the Pokémon and perhaps its relationship with May hasn't hindered its position.

The next day, the boat comes to a stop at a crescent shaped island. Ash says that its time for Manaphy to eat. Manaphy jumps out of the water, and began looking around calling for May, for Manaphy really missed her and wanted to play with her. Ash decides to lighten up the mood by releasing his Pokémon out to play. Manaphy begins playing with Ash's Pokémon and begins playing a chasing game with {{AP|Corphish}}. Feeling much better after yesterday, May begins putting on her [[List of clothing in the anime#May|bandanna]], but it gets caught in a breeze and flies off into the ocean. Manaphy sees this and begins swimming after it as the bandanna gets caught on a Sharpedo, before falling onto a {{p|Relicanth}}. Above the surface, Corphish is still having a blast dancing in the small bay of the island before realizing everyone is back on the ship. It's already evening and everyone notices that Manaphy isn't back yet. Getting worried that something happened; Ship reveals another surprise of the Blue Lagoon. Towards the back at the bottom deck was a submarine bay. It's tethered to the boat for communication. Meredith takes the gang into the sub as Kai, Meredith, Ship, and Jackie stay behind to watch their progress. Corphish is left behind as well, due to not making it back to the boat before the group's departure.

Meanwhile in the distance, Captain Phantom has tracked down the location of the Blue Lagoon, and decides to play the waiting game. He'll simply wait for Jackie or the others to reveal where Samiya is, and then he'll make his move. Jessie, James, and Meowth, who are scrubbing the floor behind the Captain, begin confirming their plot on capturing Manaphy as well, waiting for the Captain to go into Samiya.

Meanwhile Manaphy explorers a crevice on the ocean bottom, passing by a Cloyster that has May's bandanna. But Manaphy goes a little too far out, and runs into a rough current stream before retreating back to the crevice. Manaphy notices the Bandana on its way back and the Cloyster opens up to let Manaphy take it. It hugs the bandanna for a moment before swimming back towards where the boat would be. May begins to worry that Manaphy either went away for good, or got lost. But just then, Manaphy appears outside the window of the submarine holding her bandanna. May asks Manaphy if that was what he was looking for. Manaphy affectionately cuddles the bandanna saying that it loves May. May leans up against the glass of the window saying that she loves Manaphy too. As they begin to go back though, they hit a high speed current that Manaphy ran into and lose control of the sub. The tether to the Blue Lagoon snaps and they disappear out of the Blue Lagoon's sonar. For a while, Lizabeth struggles with the controls until they see Manaphy swimming off as if wanting them to follow. Lizabeth follows Manaphy and soon afterwards, they come out of the current, but Manaphy still leads them off somewhere.

The Blue Lagoon spots the sub on sonar once again and they begin to follow it. However they notice another sub tailing them. Behind the Blue Lagoon's submarine is a smaller one belonging to Phantom. At some point, the Blue Lagoon's submarine blips out of sonar again. Underwater, it appears that it went through some kind of barrier. And then, the moon begins to transition into a red color. Soon, the water temple of Samiya appears right in front of the Blue Lagoon's submarine, with Manaphy still wanting them to follow. They find a "port" where they dock at. It appears that Samiya is encased in a bubble, with half of it full of water and is a complete water palace. Jackie fears however that the follower of the Blue Lagoon's sub is Phantom, and he dives in, capturing a Mantyke along the way to speed the process of getting down to Samiya.

As Manaphy leads the gang down a corridor, which is blocked by a waterfall. Manaphy steps up and begins to sing once more, with the temple repeating the notes in a lower tone. Then, the waterfall splits, and several more behind it split as well, opening the pathway deeper into the temple. Just then, Phantom docks at Samiya, making a little dance as he's found the temple. As he dashes onward, a pod connected at the back of the sub suddenly opens to reveal Jessie, James, and Meowth who snuck on to follow Phantom. The gang reaches what appears to be a dead end, but there's a small obelisk with some ancient writing on it. Meredith says that Ship can read it, and maybe they could go onward if he was here. Just then, Phantom makes his appearance, boasting that he could read it. It read that beyond is a treasure room of those who lived here had slept. He takes out his own bracelet and a similar combination mechanism shows. Phantom lines it up and doors open up ahead. Everyone follows after him and soon they reach a large hollow chasm of a room with openings for the many canals. A platform in the middle has an altar with crystals embedded in it, with water flowing up towards the top. Phantom begins exclaiming that he was after the crystals, but soon Manaphy decides to swim in the flow of water. But this doesn't stop Phantom, as he pulls out a crystal. Suddenly the water stops and Manaphy falls to May. The temple begins rumbling in an ominous manner. Water begins spurting out of the openings, and it's soon realized that Samiya has become unstable. At this rate, there's no time to stop Phantom, the gang heads back for the submarine. Along the way they meet up with Jackie, who tells everyone to just go back, he'll take care of Phantom.

Everyone heads back for the sub, while back in the treasure room, Phantom is plucking out more crystals. By now the water level in the room has reached about a quarter way, though the altar is safe for now from flooding. Jackie comes in, stopping Phantom from plucking out another crystal. Jackie taunts the pirate, using his acrobatic techniques to evade Phantom, while grabbing a crystal and placing it back in its place. Phantom manages to corner Jackie as he tries to place another crystal, but a column of water splash nearby, throwing both off the platform and they soon land into the flooded area. Both are taken into two different canals. Phantom pops up out onto a canal, finding the crystal just ahead of him. He rushes towards it but the crystal slips away into a smaller opening.

Ash and May worry about Jackie, wondering if he's alright. Suddenly Manaphy jumps out of May's arms and lands in the water. It wants to lead the two somewhere, but Lizabeth is worried that they might not make it back. Ash tells Lizabeth to take off, but stay nearby just in case. Manaphy then leads Ash and May up into the temple once more.

Meanwhile, Phantom decides to call it the quits about the crystals and heads back for his sub, which due to the flooding has drifted elsewhere. By the time he reaches it, Jessie, James, and Meowth are there and they plan on taking sub before Phantom can get in. However just before they can close the latch, Phantom gets a good grip on it and pulls it open, sending the three flying off into the waters to be carried away somewhere. Jackie catches up with Phantom before he could get aboard his sub. Not giving up Jackie so easily, he fights him for control of the sub, which ends up Phantom getting pushed off, and Jackie taking off with the sub, but not before Phantom could grab onto a torpedo to use to escape.

Ash and May find themselves in the treasure room, where Manaphy leaps off ahead to pull on a crystal. Ash and May gets that if all the crystals are in place, then Samiya can be saved. So they begin placing the remaining few crystals into the holes, but they are one short. The water has now begun to flood the platform, and deciding to take no more chances, the three decide to flee. But along the way, Pikachu spots a crystal that found its way on a fountain. Ash picks it up while May runs off ahead towards the edge, hoping to see Lizabeth's sub somewhere. But the flooding is showing no signs of stopping. Luckily the pod that the Rockets took happened to be near by. Ash opens it up and puts May, Manaphy and Pikachu inside. He says he'll put the last crystal in and save Samiya. Despite protests from May, Ash closes the door and runs off.

Jackie reaches the surface to where the Blue Lagoon lies. He asks if Lizabeth and the others have surfaced yet, but Ship says they're still down there since Ash and May went back inside. Jackie's a bit shocked at that, but he stays on the surface since there isn't enough time to save them.

Ash begins his route back to the treasure room by climbing up on the rafters, as the hallway he and May previously took began flooding. He finds the hallway to treasure room, but it's flooded. Taking a deep breath, he dives in and swims into the treasure room. Ash is forced to swim under his own energy and by the time he gets there, he runs out of breath, making him drop the crystal as he frantically scrambles to reach the top of the treasure room, which by now is almost flooded. He catches sight of where the crystal lands, and finds it embedded in a crack at the bottom. He swims down, taking a hold of the crystal but has trouble pulling it out. When he finally gets the crystal, he swims back up but once more his breath runs out and loses consciousness, dropping the crystal.

May begins to worry about Ash, and she hopes for his safety and wishes him luck. Manaphy uses Heart Swap to relay this to Ash, who suddenly gets a burst of energy, enough to get him back to the top of the room once more. Locating the crystal once more at the bottom, he dives down to retrieve, and ignoring how much air he has left, he swims around the altar, setting the last crystal inside. Suddenly a yellow glow fills the room. Samiya in its collapsing state, was about to collide into an ocean cliff, with the crystals in place, the temple barely misses and begins floating upwards. Meanwhile, yellow energy beams begin to snake out from the treasure room, and wrap around Samiya as it floats upwards. At the surface, everyone is back on the Blue Lagoon, and soon sees Samiya rise as the sun is rising as well.

When the temple finally settles on the surface of the ocean, May opens up the pod door. Ash has saved Samiya, but May is afraid that he drowned in the process. But something comes from the ocean behind May. Phantom pops up from the surface from his torpedo, grabbing Manaphy and soon makes a getaway. Phantom has an easy time at first, but then a yellow energy beam shoots out from the water and begins following Phantom. There's someone inside the energy beam though, and sees Ash. He pursues Phantom while the water Pokémon in the ocean begin gathering. As Phantom dives down beneath in hopes to avoid Ash, he's blocked by a school of Remoraid. Taking advantage of the pirate's surprise, Ash takes Manaphy away. He swims away, surprised at how many Pokémon have gathered; even the {{pkmn2|legendary}} {{p|Kyogre}} has appeared.

But not all is well; Phantom makes one last effort in capturing Manaphy by staging an attack with his large submarine. Manaphy however hops off from Ash's arms to take control. Manaphy summons all the nearby water Pokémon in the vicinity to launch a counterattack against Phantom's submarine. Most of them gather to hinder its movements while Chinchou slip into an exposed circuitry. They short out the submarine, leaving it a sitting duck. Taking this chance, Manaphy hops onto Kyogre, and Kyogre jumps out of the water, only to launch a Hyper Beam attack on the submarine, critically damaging it and all useful equipment. After the battle, Jackie, using Phantom's personal sub, finds his way to Phantom, where he's seeing him in tattered clothing holding up a heavy piece of a collapsed pillar. Behind the clothing reveals a mechanized suit, in which Jackie figures out how the old pirate was able to have superhuman strength like lifting a boulder up. Phantom's suit though overloads and the column collapses on him. Jackie climbs up on top of the wrecked sub, contacting the Ranger's Base that his mission is complete.

The crew aboard Blue Lagoon are excited to see Ash, especially having been granted the power the King had. To celebrate, Ash takes the others along in their own energy beams to explore the underwater depths around Samiya, to see all the water Pokémon that have gathered around to see the Prince of the Sea. At the end of the day, Samiya sinks down into the ocean once more to be hidden from the world. On the Blue Lagoon, May is with Manaphy, about to release it back into the ocean, this time for good. Though she has a hard time, she manages to say goodbye. Manaphy actually speaks out May's name, expressing how it loves May before jumping off into the ocean. Manaphy then swims towards Samiya.

===Ending credits===
The Blue Lagoon reaches the port town, with Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu greeting them excitedly at the dock. Ash and company part ways with the circus crew as they head off to their next destination. Jackie, with the help of Officer Jenny finds and arrest Captain Phantom and his crew from the Phantom Troop. In a later adventure, Zapdos is seen flying through a mountainous region, and is captured by Jackie so he can hitch a ride on it. Team Rocket are shown to have ended up inside a Wailord, only to be expelled from its body and shot into the air via its blow hole. Various Water Pokémon, including Manaphy, are shown wandering and swimming around Samiya. At the end, Ash and the gang are seen at camp during the night, conversing around a fire, and after they are shown walking a path in the woods, the camera pans off towards the sky.

==Events==
Manaphy with a King's Rock was [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#World Hobby Fair Manaphy|distributed]] in Japan. However {{pmin|the United States}} and {{pmin|Australia}} featured [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|distributions]] of a Manaphy with a Red Scarf, to represent {{an|May}}'s bandana.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy Music Collection}}

==Manga adaptation==
{{main|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (manga)}}

A {{pkmn|manga}} adaptation of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea was created by [[Makoto Mizobuchi]]. It was translated into English by both [[VIZ Media]] and [[Chuang Yi]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Cast of characters.png|thumb|right|250px|The main characters (excluding Jack and Phantom)]]
* [[Professor Sebastian]], [[Attila]], and [[Hun]] make a cameo during The World of Pokémon scene, with a captured {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* Yuyama Kunihiko traveled to {{pmin|Italy}} to visit the ruins of {{wp|Rome}}, the city of {{wp|Naples}} and the island of {{wp|Capri}} to get ideas for the setting of the movie.
* The {{pmin|South Korea|Korean dub}} of the movie premiered on July 20, 2006, only 5 days after the Japanese premiere.
* The title card animation sequence begins with a depiction of the {{wp|Hexagonal lattice|hexagonal crystal lattice}} of {{wp|Ice Ih|ice}}, however, the orientation of some water molecules is wrong: there should only be one hydrogen atom on every edge and one oxygen atom at every vertex.
* An ''{{wp|a capella}}'' version of ''[[Spurt!]]'' is played as the background music in the scenes where Jackie explained why he protects Pokémon and when Ash and May are swimming with {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Buizel}}.
** An instrumental version of ''[[Together We Make a Promise]]'' is used for these scenes in the dub.
* This was the last time that any media for the Pokémon anime was produced using hand-painted cels.
* This was the first Pokémon movie to be dubbed by Pokémon USA, and the only one by [[TAJ Productions]], since [[DuArt Film & Video|DuArt]] did ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* In the dub, when diamonds and pearls are mentioned for the first time in the movie, Meowth [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by saying "Hey, that sounds like a [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|good name for a game]]!". When they get mentioned for the second time, he says "Let's get through [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|this season]] first." Obviously he is referencing the (then) next games due out and the [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|next season]].
** On a related note, this is the third Pokémon movie to feature a character breaking the fourth wall, the first two being ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.
** All of these instances were courtesy of {{TRT}}.
* Although the posters and DVD cover show Ash controlling some kind of ship, he never actually does this in the movie.
* The clothes Jackie wears during his flashback resemble {{ga|Ethan}}'s.
* Jackie captures a {{p|Fearow}} with his Styler, which is most likely a reference to [[Ringtown]]'s Ranger Leader {{ra|Spenser}} and his Fearow.
* Near the climax of the movie, Ash turns his [[Ash's hat|hat]] backwards for the first time in several seasons.
* The movie aired on Cartoon Network in the UK, along with ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', before ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' was released on DVD.
* Teaser scenes that were used in the movie trailer shown at the end of the Japanese version of ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' ultimately did not make it into the movie; such as a scene where {{Ash}} is washed away while calling for {{AP|Pikachu}}, a scene where {{an|May}}'s and [[Lizabeth]]'s bracelets glow, and a scene which shows an alternate version of the architecture of the Sea Temple, as well as a nighttime scene where {{p|Kyogre}} leaps out of the water and back in.
* In a sneak peek of the movie on a [[Pokémon Sunday]] Segment, Ash made a reference to ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. When he first meets Jack Walker in the preview, he says {{tt|セレビィに負けないくらい森とポケモンを愛してる人だったな～|It's the person who took care of the Celebi in the dark forest}}.
* The dubbed version of this movie was the first movie to be premiered in the original widescreen format.
* This is the first dubbed version of a movie not to use the [[Media:Pokémon logo English.png|"Pokémon" logo]] despite the title containing the word "Pokémon". Instead, the font and color of the title is similar to the Japanese title.
*In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, when May teaches Manaphy how to talk, May speaks in Spanish and Manaphy repeats it in English. May seems to understand it anyway.
* {{ga|Brendan}} makes a cameo at the beginning of the movie, controlling a {{p|Swampert}}. This is most likely to keep in theme with the [[rival]]'s Pokémon having a type advantage over the main character's (in this case, [[May's Combusken]]).
* At {{wp|Target Corporation|Target}} and {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} stores in the United States, a bonus CD titled [[Exclusive Target Mix!]] and [[Exclusive Toys R Us Mix!]] was bundled with the DVD release of this movie.
* This movie was the first movie in which a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon was not a main character.
* This movie was the second one to be skipped in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, even though [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|the Battle Frontier arc]] was dubbed in Finnish. Also [[M08|the previous movie]] suffered a similar fate.
** Both of these movies take place during the aforementioned season.

===Errors===
* When a bird's eye view of the young Jackie surrounded by Pokémon was shown, the long feathers on the Altaria's heads were white instead of the normal blue.

==Blurb==

There's a legend out there, about a Sea Temple created by the People of the Water, where the Sea Crown is kept. No one has ever seen this Sea Crown, and very few people even know the story of the temple, except a few members of the People of the Water who wander through the Pokémon world. That all changes when a Pokémon Ranger named Jackie rescues a Manaphy Egg from a greedy pirate named Phantom! Phantom is absolutely determined to snatch the Sea Crown, and he'll need Manaphy to get to it. To stay one step ahead, Jackie will need to enlist the help of the People of the Water.

A chance encounter with the People of the Water puts Ash, May and friends right in the thick of the action, and May forms a very special bond with the Legendary Manaphy, even as the specter of Phantom hovers ever closer! Together, they must find the Sea Temple before Phantom does, unlocking the secret that connects Manaphy and the Sea Temple!

==Plot==
===Prologue===
A mysterious {{pkmn|Egg}} floats by in the ocean teeming with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It glides along the water, going through a school of {{p|Remoraid}}, past a few {{p|Clamperl}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, and whatnot. The Egg finally settles down as a group of {{p|Lanturn}} and {{p|Chinchou}} have a look. Suddenly the school of fish-like Pokémon swim away as spotlights shine upon the Egg. Above the water, three helicopters hover low over the surface, scanning the Egg. Confirmation of the "treasure" is relayed to a large submarine underwater; where aboard [[Captain Phantom]] of the Phantom Troop executes his plan to secure the Egg. His {{p|Chatot}} flies onto the shoulder of the Captain's right-hand man, squawking the Captain's words.

Once the submarine gets close enough, a mechanical arm goes out to encase the Egg in a glass case and brings it back. With the operation a success, Captain Phantom heads down to the room where the Egg sits on a stand, still encased by the glass container. He marvels at his prize, and just before he could grab it, one of his pirates snatches it. Angered by the traitor, the Captain sends his men after him, but the mysterious traitor dodges their lunges. Escaping down a corridor, he is sandwiched at either end. Fortunately, there is a ladder on a vertical conveyor that he uses to escape. Getting to a higher floor, he jumps off the ladder, kicking the guardrail so that his pursuers can't find a way up without bumping their head on it. He makes a quick stop to the mess hall kitchen. While securing the Egg in a carrying bag, he makes contact with his "mission coordinator", [[Judy]], to tell her he's secured the Egg. But just as he was ending the transmission, the pirates found him and began surrounding him. The traitor makes his move by jumping on pots, landing in a way that they fly onto the heads of the others as he makes his escape. On his way out, he pours a sack of potatoes onto the floor to keep the ones behind him busy.

Finding his way outside, the traitor finds himself yet again chased down by the persistent crew of the submarine. He runs to the other side of the sub, jumping over a trapdoor that was opening to reveal Captain Phantom. The traitor reaches the bow of the submarine, finding himself trapped. The Captain releases a {{p|Pinsir}} and a {{p|Parasect}} and demands his name and threatens him to return the Egg, otherwise his Pokémon will attack. The traitor introduces himself as [[Jack Walker|Jack "Jackie" Walker]]. He jumps up to the roof of the front part of the sub, just barely avoiding Pinsir's attack. At the very edge of the boat, he finds a few {{p|Mantine}} swimming about, feeling lucky they followed. Pulling out a [[Capture Styler]], he manages to catch a Mantine just before Captain Phantom makes his way on top. Phantom threatens Jackie to return the Egg shortly before Jackie jumps off the boat, landing on the Mantine and escapes with it using {{m|Confuse Ray}} before {{m|Dive|diving}} into the ocean. Angry, Phantom tells Pinsir to use a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at the water, but by the time, Jackie swims off with the captured Mantine to safety. Pinsir and Parasect are obviously dazed, and Chatot is flying in circles.

===Main Storyline===
{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] are traveling down a bright road. It's very hot and everyone is sweaty, tired, and desperate to find shelter. But where they're traveling on is nothing more than a dirt road with an expansive grass field and just a tree here and there and Max's [[PokéNav]] can't get a signal from their current location. Max stops to ask May for some water as he ran out. May gives her thermos to Max, who finds out that it's empty as well. Both collapse in shock while Ash looks back. He sees a ball of water floating in the distance, and is a bit confused before he mentions "Water". Max and May both perk up to see before Max begins running off towards where the water ball's direction.

They come across what appears to be several water balls, with {{type|Water}} Pokémon in them, and in the middle of it all stands a female teenager. Max goes up to her and asks if he can have some water, to which she gives permission. Max then goes to a nearby water ball and begins sucking some water from it, but a {{p|Gorebyss}} pokes Max away. The rest of the gang comes by, and the teenager asks who they are. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} introduce themselves, except Brock who takes a good look at her and finally declares out that the teenager is [[Lizabeth]]. Brock then gets his little book of women he admires out of his [[bag|backpack]] and then pulls up Lizabeth's page. He explains that Lizabeth and her family run an outside circus show with water Pokémon. {{AP|Pikachu}} wanders off a bit to find a {{p|Meditite}} and {{p|Medicham}} duo with a couple of {{p|Poliwag}} and a {{p|Poliwhirl}}. They greet Pikachu with the water Pokémon {{m|Water Gun|shooting some water out}} while the Meditite and Medicham use {{m|Psychic}} to form it into a Pikachu-shaped figure. The gang understands how the water balls are formed.

Several people soon come out of the trailer, wondering who Ash and company were. Lizabeth says that they're acquaintances and are just looking for some water. They all introduce themselves, the family of performers that runs the circus. The mother is [[Meredith]], the father is {{mov|Kyle}}, and the grandfather is [[Ship]]. They also have a clown who just joined them recently. May comments on how young Meredith looks, thinking she was Lizabeth's older sister. Meredith laughs and accidentally smacks May on her head a little too hard as she does.

Inside the trailer, Max enjoys a glass of water he needed. Afterward, a friendly {{p|Buizel}} comes by to play with him for a bit. As the others discuss things, May notices the Buizel hopping up to a bunk bed, going up to the top bunk where a canister lays. It presses a button and it clears up, revealing the mysterious Egg from before. May stares at it for a while before Kyle comes by and closes the curtain that was partially covering the bunk before excusing himself. To lighten up the mood, Lizabeth invites everyone to a free show they'll be performing in the next town. Everyone is happy to accept.

The show starts off with one large sphere of water being created, as a {{p|Seaking}} and {{p|Dewgong}} are let inside. Then the Meditite and Medicham then split the sphere into two, and soon Kyle and Meredith join in the act by diving in. Several more spheres are created with an assortment of Water Pokémon getting inside them. Lizabeth jumps in and rides the Dewgong to the top, clearing out and then jumping back in. Meanwhile, the clown walks around, wearing a {{p|Sharpedo}} get-up. As he's juggling a few balls, a group of {{p|Goldeen}} in small water spheres come near him. He uses the Sharpedo costume to "eat" the Goldeen, but then acts out as if he has indigestion and the Goldeen pop out on the other side. The gang was watching from the trailer nearby, and soon they were pushed into water spheres of their own, with everything combining into one. Then the Meditite and Medicham began surrounding the large water sphere with energy, before it exploded into steam, with the performing family and the gang at the bottom, and all the water Pokémon in their own bubbles, ending the show.

The Buizel was busy in the trailer, finding his way up to the bunk with the container. He takes a look at it again before it tips it over the edge. Grabbing it, he also tries to save himself before falling over onto the floor. He carries the container between the trailer and the circus-style decorated vehicle up front. May happens to be there when she spots Buizel, and sees the container once again. Up on the rooftops however, are [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]], spying on what the gang and the circus troupe were up to. James happens to notice the container only for a split moment until the clown comes by to take it away from Buizel, and then leaves without a word, giving it to Lizabeth who then puts it upon a shelf, and closes a curtain around it. Later as the troupe was packing, the gang was invited to travel with them to the next town.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth relax at a fountain, when Jessie and Meowth notice James looking at a "Team Rocket Magazine". James mentions he saw the circus crew having an object he found in the magazine. And then he finds the page with a picture of the Egg and Captain Phantom. They plan on following the trailer, and will eventually make their attack. After the troupe packs up, the gang is invited to ride along until the next town, since it's a mountainous region. They take the offer and are soon off. As they pass by, the Team Rocket trio hides out in an alley. James is attempting to make a call, but had to cut the line when they realize they can just hitchhike on the troupe's trailer.

That night, while everyone was asleep, Buizel walked about the trailer, finding the shelf where the container was. He climbed up and presses the button, revealing the Egg once again. Moonlight shines through it and it begins to glow red. The light shines upon May, which creates dream of her being in an undersea world. Numerous water Pokémon swim by her before a mysterious one suddenly swims up to her. It was small, and looked very friendly and playful. Then up ahead, May could see what looked like an underwater palace surrounded by a bubble. The mysterious Pokémon soon swims past her and she screams out "Wait!". At that moment, she wakes up and also screams "Wait!". Lizabeth is sitting nearby wondering what happened before telling her good morning.

The trailer has stopped at a nearby river in a mountainous region, stopping for a late breakfast. A table is set up outside near the river and they enjoy their meal of Italian dishes. During the meal May talks about her mysterious dream last night, mentioning seeing a Pokémon she never saw before and a strange palace under the sea. Mysterious as it sounded to Ash and the others, the circus crew seemed to act out as if it was mysterious too, that is until Lizabeth and Minamo said that they had the same dream, and it's related to a legend, but Ship tells them to not tell right now. As they begin packing up after the meal, Jessie, James, and Meowth make their move. Jessie successfully finds the Egg after looking around in the trailer. But as they gather to get a closer look, the Egg begins to glow. A red lightning trails out and passes through each of their heads. When the odd experience ends, the group finds themselves have their body swapped, with Jessie as Meowth, Meowth as James and James as Jessie.

They continue to freak out about the swapping of minds until everyone comes back from their meal. They spot the Team Rocket members just as they leave. They begin to recite their {{motto}}, but end with a feeling that it doesn't feel right since their bodies are switched. They make a run for it with the Egg with Ash following them. But before Ash can reach the Rockets; they escape to a [[Transport in Pokémon|balloon]], with a cycle driven propeller. They make their get away and Ash was about to have Pikachu take them down with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the clown suddenly comes up telling him to stop. If the balloon blows up, it'll damage the Egg. He takes out a Capture Styler from his pocket and finds a nearby {{p|Fearow}}. He uses it to catch the Fearow to pursue Team Rocket. Just as Fearow takes off, Pikachu hops on Fearow's back and the two Pokémon soon catch up. Pikachu lands on the cycling mechanism in front and begins sparking up. Then it snags the Egg and drops down, landing on Fearow. The bird Pokémon then flies up, threatening to poke the balloon as the Rockets panic, wanting the James Meowth to do something but he can't, and the Fearow {{m|peck}}s at the balloon, sending the Rockets away.

Fearow delivers Pikachu back to Ash, with May, Max, Brock, and Lizabeth nearby. Lizabeth takes the case with the Egg away before the clown shows up. Ash recognized the Capture Styler he used, and concludes he must be a {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. The clown nods before taking off his disguise to reveal that was Jackie. Jackie shows the gang the Egg when things finally settle down, but his cover was compromised, as Team Rocket figured out about the Egg. But just as they were about to head back, several helicopters begin to show up on the horizon. And upon closer inspection, those helicopters bore the Phantom Troop's insignia. Jackie warns them of who they are and begins to make a run for it in a rocky path. Captain Phantom releases two {{p|Beedrill}} to chase after them, and soon the gang is making an attempt to run. They split up in order to split their pursuers up, with Ash following Jackie, and Max, May, Brock, and Lizabeth taking another route. Along the path Ash and Jackie take, Captain Phantom jumps down from his chopper and proceeds to chase after them. At some point, Jackie covers the Egg container with a towel and along with Ash, goes behind a rock just before the Captain could make it. Jackie is seen running off with the towel, and the Captain begins chasing after him. But Ash sneaks off in the other direction with the Egg.

Meanwhile Max and May split up from Brock and Lizabeth. Eventually Max and May cross paths with Ash, only to find that the Captain's right hand man was right behind them with a Beedrill. The Beedrill attacks with {{m|Pin Missile}}, Pikachu countering with Thunderbolt. Then the three try to escape, but Beedrill uses {{m|Sludge Bomb}} to block their path. Ash decides to stay behind to take care of the Beedrill, while May and Max run off with the Egg. Meanwhile, Captain Phantom manages to catch up with Jackie, only to have Jackie reveal that what he was carrying was a pair of juggling balls. He throws one at Phantom, in which he smacks it towards a nearby cliff wall. The ball simply bounces back and smacks Phantom in his face. Taking advantage of the odd but fortunate turn of things, Jackie runs off, jumping on a boulder. But somehow Phantom begins picking it up, and tosses it. Jackie jumps off however, but the Captain isn't interested in him anymore and begins searching for the Egg.

Max and May find themselves at split in their path, hoping that everyone is okay. Suddenly the Captain appears from behind and tries to pry the Egg container from May's hands. As May struggles to keep a grip, Max jumps on Phantom, stretching out his mouth. But Phantom was pulling on the lid, and soon it popped off, sending the Egg flying. May drops the container and dives in to catch the Egg. Ash manages to catch up at this point, but the Egg begins to shine. Then the entire Egg glows white before two antennae come out, and when the glow fades away, {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}} is finally born. It opens its eyes to see May, but begins crying. May tries to calm the newly born Manaphy while the Captain is disappointed that something like Manaphy was the treasure he was looking for. But even so, he's not about to give up that easily and begins to make his move. Jackie comes in time to keep Phantom busy enough for Ash, May, and Max to escape. Jackie follows shortly afterwards and the four find the trailer (which Brock and Lizabeth managed to get back to beforehand). Jackie stays behind as the others get on to ambush Phantom to delay him once more.

The trailer takes off, leaving everyone to wonder about Manaphy. It slept in May's lap, happy and peacefully. Meredith wanted to try holding it, but as soon as she held it, Manaphy began crying. After Meredith gave Manaphy back to May, it stopped crying and was happy once again. They begin to wonder if Manaphy has imprinted May as its mother, considering that it was the first thing it saw. However, Phantom is once more on their tail, and two helicopters launch grappling rods to keep themselves affixed, and also to slow the trailer down. Ship comes in from the front car, telling the others inside to get in. Meredith first goes in; helping May so she doesn't fall. Brock then steps out to help Lizabeth, followed by Max and Ash. Ship gets out last as he unlatches the trailer. This sends the helicopters flying backwards, momentarily losing control as the trailer careens off a cliff. The choppers manage to cut their grappling lines and regain control.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth wake up from after crashing. They find themselves on top of a ruin. Jessie mentions having a weird "dream" that she was Meowth; the Meowth mentions that he was James, and James mentions he was Jessie. They suddenly realize that it wasn't a dream and that Pokémon Egg must've done something. The find {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} standing on the edge, "agreeing" with the weird occurrences that happened. But they soon see the circus crew pulling up to the ruin. After everyone gets out, the Phantom Troop soon arrives. Jessie, James, and Meowth decide to try to get Phantom to "recruit" them so that they can let Phantom do all the work in getting the Egg, and they'll steal it at an opportune time.

The gang heads down into to ruins, deeper until they reach what appears to be a dead end. Ship however holds his bracelet of seashells near a gem in the end wall. It glows to resemble a combination lock. He slides it to the right combination and a door opens up. Kai asks everyone if they have water Pokémon, since they'll be traveling down a canal. A few minutes later, Phantom steps down into the ruins, coming across the same dead end. However Phantom knows of this somehow and he pulls out a similar bracelet from his pocket. To his disappointment however, he comes across the canal, but there's no way for him to go. Getting back to the surface, Phantom finds the Rocket Trio washing his helicopter. After asking what they were doing and wanted, Jessie, James, and Meowth offer their cleaning services to Phantom, to which he promptly refuses. However, with stubbornness, the Rockets get to go along with Phantom as cleaners.

As the gang swims down the canal, Manaphy is enjoying its time in the water. They soon come up to another wall, in which is decorated with murals that tell a legend. Ship explains that there was once Ocean Temple named [[Samiya]] where water Pokémon and "people of water" had resided, and where a "King of the Sea" lived. However, evil spirits began invading, and so the king used his power to protect the temple, he encased it in a bubble and took it below the ocean. However normally it cannot be seen, but when its time for the "Prince of the Sea" to return, the moon will glow red for a brief period and Samiya will be visible. But there's a time limit once the Prince is born to return. Manaphy is this "Prince of the Sea", and so Ship plans on leading them to a port town, where he'll have a boat waiting to take Manaphy to Samiya.

Meanwhile, Phantom tries to find a possible idea to where the gang could've gone. But as his right hand man attempts to map out the route, the canal suddenly branches off into many different paths. They'll just have to spend their time finding out where they've gone.

The gang reaches a port town, where they wait for a while as Ship's boat comes along. They take a moment to rest and enjoy ice cream. Manaphy is now asleep in a bassinet, probably tired after all the swimming. Ship quickly finishes his cone as he spots his ship coming in, and warns the others that it's arrived. At the port, three of Ship's old shipmates [[Gabu]], [[Dabu]], and [[Sabu]] step out to greet their old friend, and they want to go with Ship on the expedition to Samiya (though he doesn't tell them that specifically). Ship of course introduces the gang to his old shipmates, as he used to be an avid adventurer of the seas in his boat Blue Lagoon. However, Ship only takes his family, Jackie, and Manaphy along. May is upset at this, but she knows that it's for the better that Manaphy gets released. Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu though encourage May to stop them so she could get on, and Ash, not willing to put off an adventure like this, also joins in with May to stop the boat.

Manaphy on board soon wakes up and Jackie tries to comfort it. But it soon shoots out a red lighting that hits Jackie, and then trails down into the ocean back to the port. It travels towards Ash and May, and then suddenly Ash gets his foot caught by the lightning. Then, Jackie and Ash switch bodies, leaving them confused. Manaphy is happy though to see the Jackie Ash, but the real Jackie continues running towards the end of the port.

Later on, the gang gets on the boat, Jackie and Ash exchanging comments about that weird experience they just had. Jackie however says that this is one of Manaphy's powers, {{m|Heart Swap}}. Ship then tells May that Manaphy is referred to as the Prince of the Sea. May asks Manaphy if the reason he switched Ash and Jackie was so they wouldn't leave without her. Manaphy nods happily while May gives him a nuzzle on the cheek, saying he makes her happy. Manaphy then says happy, leaving everyone to the excitement that Manaphy can talk. Meredith recalls Lizabeth's first word which was apparently "Fu Fu," meaning food. Ship then says she loved to eat and Meredith chuckles. Ash and Max try to get Manaphy to say their names, but Manaphy resumes speaking out its name. Manaphy then rubs his flipper on May's cheek and she hugs it, saying that its cute. Jackie looks at them bonding, obviously not pleased about Manaphy getting close to May. Ship says that Manaphy needs to guide them to Samiya, and that Manaphy has to be released into the water. May lets Manaphy back into the ocean, and it jumps around swimming freely.

As Manaphy swims by, Ship brings the gang down to a lower part of the boat. After releasing a hatch, a dome in front of them opens up to reveal an underwater forward observation room. And they see Manaphy swim by with the various ocean faring Pokémon. Manaphy sees May and tries to swim up to her, but it hits hard on the glass dome. It begins crying but May tries to comfort it and Manaphy is once more a happy camper. Days pass, Manaphy still following the Blue Lagoon, trying to call out to May every so often. Jackie still sees some disproving in this, as if Manaphy gets too close to May, he may not go back to Samiya. Jackie though is scouting out of the ocean, probably looking for both the location of where Samiya is or perhaps looking out for Phantom. In one instance, he was parasailing to get a much better view. Ash watched him from below, commenting how cool it must be to be a Pokémon Ranger.

The boat makes a stop over a coral reef and the gang decides to take a swim. Although May seems still a bit preoccupied on the boat still, with Manaphy sleeping in her arms. Ash gets back on the boat to find Jackie, who hands him a towel as he comes up. Ash asks Jackie how he would decide to become a Pokémon Ranger. When Jackie was much younger, he got caught in a blizzard in his homeland. He found refuge in a cave, stumbling in and shivering from the cold. A {{p|Swablu}} comes down next to him, and he realizes that the cave is filled with Swablu, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Sentret}}, and {{p|Furret}}. They all huddle next to him to keep warm, and he stays the night there. The next morning, the storm has cleared up and all the Pokémon begin moving out of the cave. After seeing the flock of bird Pokémon take off, he was interested in Pokémon life, and wanted to defend such, and so he's been on adventures. After hearing that story, Ash gets a bit excited and he soon jumps back into the ocean, with Buizel. May goes in as well with Manaphy, and the both of them explore the coral reef together. They both resurface and May cuddles Manaphy lovingly.

Later that night, May is sleeping outside with Manaphy on a hammock. She tells Manaphy that she loves him, and asks Manaphy if he can say "I love you." Manaphy looks at her with a questioned look on his face. May then helps him out by saying "you." Manaphy almost said it, so May repeats "you" one more time. Manaphy finally learns and says "looove you!" May praises Manaphy, and Manaphy says happy. May affectionately hugs Manaphy while Manaphy tells May he loves her. Jackie is watching from above, and is very concerned about the relationship between Manaphy and May.

Later the next day, Brock is cooking a meal with Meredith, who finds his cooking to be very impressive. May is seen walking down the hallway towards the underwater observation when she hears Jackie talking with Ash. He tells Ash that Manaphy being all cuddly with May isn't such a good thing. After all, Manaphy is supposed to be the Prince of the Sea, a leader. How's a leader going to look if it acts how it does to May? At that, May suddenly comes in, telling Jackie that Manaphy will still do a fine job being a leader, and then she rushes out just as Lizabeth was about to enter. Manaphy is outside the boat, trying to get May's attention as May is curled up against a hallway wall. Lizabeth finds her and tries to console her, as May doesn't seem to want to let Manaphy go. To help her feel better, Lizabeth gives May her sea shell bracelet. Later that night, Manaphy sits on a rock, looking at the moon. It begins to {{m|sing}}, and as it does, Pokémon begin crowding near Manaphy. It seems Manaphy has influence on the Pokémon and perhaps its relationship with May hasn't hindered its position.

The next day, the boat comes to a stop at a crescent shaped island. Ash says that its time for Manaphy to eat. Manaphy jumps out of the water, and began looking around calling for May, for Manaphy really missed her and wanted to play with her. Ash decides to lighten up the mood by releasing his Pokémon out to play. Manaphy begins playing with Ash's Pokémon and begins playing a chasing game with {{AP|Corphish}}. Feeling much better after yesterday, May begins putting on her [[List of clothing in the anime#May|bandanna]], but it gets caught in a breeze and flies off into the ocean. Manaphy sees this and begins swimming after it as the bandanna gets caught on a Sharpedo, before falling onto a {{p|Relicanth}}. Above the surface, Corphish is still having a blast dancing in the small bay of the island before realizing everyone is back on the ship. It's already evening and everyone notices that Manaphy isn't back yet. Getting worried that something happened; Ship reveals another surprise of the Blue Lagoon. Towards the back at the bottom deck was a submarine bay. It's tethered to the boat for communication. Meredith takes the gang into the sub as Kai, Meredith, Ship, and Jackie stay behind to watch their progress. Corphish is left behind as well, due to not making it back to the boat before the group's departure.

Meanwhile in the distance, Captain Phantom has tracked down the location of the Blue Lagoon, and decides to play the waiting game. He'll simply wait for Jackie or the others to reveal where Samiya is, and then he'll make his move. Jessie, James, and Meowth, who are scrubbing the floor behind the Captain, begin confirming their plot on capturing Manaphy as well, waiting for the Captain to go into Samiya.

Meanwhile Manaphy explorers a crevice on the ocean bottom, passing by a Cloyster that has May's bandanna. But Manaphy goes a little too far out, and runs into a rough current stream before retreating back to the crevice. Manaphy notices the Bandana on its way back and the Cloyster opens up to let Manaphy take it. It hugs the bandanna for a moment before swimming back towards where the boat would be. May begins to worry that Manaphy either went away for good, or got lost. But just then, Manaphy appears outside the window of the submarine holding her bandanna. May asks Manaphy if that was what he was looking for. Manaphy affectionately cuddles the bandanna saying that it loves May. May leans up against the glass of the window saying that she loves Manaphy too. As they begin to go back though, they hit a high speed current that Manaphy ran into and lose control of the sub. The tether to the Blue Lagoon snaps and they disappear out of the Blue Lagoon's sonar. For a while, Lizabeth struggles with the controls until they see Manaphy swimming off as if wanting them to follow. Lizabeth follows Manaphy and soon afterwards, they come out of the current, but Manaphy still leads them off somewhere.

The Blue Lagoon spots the sub on sonar once again and they begin to follow it. However they notice another sub tailing them. Behind the Blue Lagoon's submarine is a smaller one belonging to Phantom. At some point, the Blue Lagoon's submarine blips out of sonar again. Underwater, it appears that it went through some kind of barrier. And then, the moon begins to transition into a red color. Soon, the water temple of Samiya appears right in front of the Blue Lagoon's submarine, with Manaphy still wanting them to follow. They find a "port" where they dock at. It appears that Samiya is encased in a bubble, with half of it full of water and is a complete water palace. Jackie fears however that the follower of the Blue Lagoon's sub is Phantom, and he dives in, capturing a Mantyke along the way to speed the process of getting down to Samiya.

As Manaphy leads the gang down a corridor, which is blocked by a waterfall. Manaphy steps up and begins to sing once more, with the temple repeating the notes in a lower tone. Then, the waterfall splits, and several more behind it split as well, opening the pathway deeper into the temple. Just then, Phantom docks at Samiya, making a little dance as he's found the temple. As he dashes onward, a pod connected at the back of the sub suddenly opens to reveal Jessie, James, and Meowth who snuck on to follow Phantom. The gang reaches what appears to be a dead end, but there's a small obelisk with some ancient writing on it. Meredith says that Ship can read it, and maybe they could go onward if he was here. Just then, Phantom makes his appearance, boasting that he could read it. It read that beyond is a treasure room of those who lived here had slept. He takes out his own bracelet and a similar combination mechanism shows. Phantom lines it up and doors open up ahead. Everyone follows after him and soon they reach a large hollow chasm of a room with openings for the many canals. A platform in the middle has an altar with crystals embedded in it, with water flowing up towards the top. Phantom begins exclaiming that he was after the crystals, but soon Manaphy decides to swim in the flow of water. But this doesn't stop Phantom, as he pulls out a crystal. Suddenly the water stops and Manaphy falls to May. The temple begins rumbling in an ominous manner. Water begins spurting out of the openings, and it's soon realized that Samiya has become unstable. At this rate, there's no time to stop Phantom, the gang heads back for the submarine. Along the way they meet up with Jackie, who tells everyone to just go back, he'll take care of Phantom.

Everyone heads back for the sub, while back in the treasure room, Phantom is plucking out more crystals. By now the water level in the room has reached about a quarter way, though the altar is safe for now from flooding. Jackie comes in, stopping Phantom from plucking out another crystal. Jackie taunts the pirate, using his acrobatic techniques to evade Phantom, while grabbing a crystal and placing it back in its place. Phantom manages to corner Jackie as he tries to place another crystal, but a column of water splash nearby, throwing both off the platform and they soon land into the flooded area. Both are taken into two different canals. Phantom pops up out onto a canal, finding the crystal just ahead of him. He rushes towards it but the crystal slips away into a smaller opening.

Ash and May worry about Jackie, wondering if he's alright. Suddenly Manaphy jumps out of May's arms and lands in the water. It wants to lead the two somewhere, but Lizabeth is worried that they might not make it back. Ash tells Lizabeth to take off, but stay nearby just in case. Manaphy then leads Ash and May up into the temple once more.

Meanwhile, Phantom decides to call it the quits about the crystals and heads back for his sub, which due to the flooding has drifted elsewhere. By the time he reaches it, Jessie, James, and Meowth are there and they plan on taking sub before Phantom can get in. However just before they can close the latch, Phantom gets a good grip on it and pulls it open, sending the three flying off into the waters to be carried away somewhere. Jackie catches up with Phantom before he could get aboard his sub. Not giving up Jackie so easily, he fights him for control of the sub, which ends up Phantom getting pushed off, and Jackie taking off with the sub, but not before Phantom could grab onto a torpedo to use to escape.

Ash and May find themselves in the treasure room, where Manaphy leaps off ahead to pull on a crystal. Ash and May gets that if all the crystals are in place, then Samiya can be saved. So they begin placing the remaining few crystals into the holes, but they are one short. The water has now begun to flood the platform, and deciding to take no more chances, the three decide to flee. But along the way, Pikachu spots a crystal that found its way on a fountain. Ash picks it up while May runs off ahead towards the edge, hoping to see Lizabeth's sub somewhere. But the flooding is showing no signs of stopping. Luckily the pod that the Rockets took happened to be near by. Ash opens it up and puts May, Manaphy and Pikachu inside. He says he'll put the last crystal in and save Samiya. Despite protests from May, Ash closes the door and runs off.

Jackie reaches the surface to where the Blue Lagoon lies. He asks if Lizabeth and the others have surfaced yet, but Ship says they're still down there since Ash and May went back inside. Jackie's a bit shocked at that, but he stays on the surface since there isn't enough time to save them.

Ash begins his route back to the treasure room by climbing up on the rafters, as the hallway he and May previously took began flooding. He finds the hallway to treasure room, but it's flooded. Taking a deep breath, he dives in and swims into the treasure room. Ash is forced to swim under his own energy and by the time he gets there, he runs out of breath, making him drop the crystal as he frantically scrambles to reach the top of the treasure room, which by now is almost flooded. He catches sight of where the crystal lands, and finds it embedded in a crack at the bottom. He swims down, taking a hold of the crystal but has trouble pulling it out. When he finally gets the crystal, he swims back up but once more his breath runs out and loses consciousness, dropping the crystal.

May begins to worry about Ash, and she hopes for his safety and wishes him luck. Manaphy uses Heart Swap to relay this to Ash, who suddenly gets a burst of energy, enough to get him back to the top of the room once more. Locating the crystal once more at the bottom, he dives down to retrieve, and ignoring how much air he has left, he swims around the altar, setting the last crystal inside. Suddenly a yellow glow fills the room. Samiya in its collapsing state, was about to collide into an ocean cliff, with the crystals in place, the temple barely misses and begins floating upwards. Meanwhile, yellow energy beams begin to snake out from the treasure room, and wrap around Samiya as it floats upwards. At the surface, everyone is back on the Blue Lagoon, and soon sees Samiya rise as the sun is rising as well.

When the temple finally settles on the surface of the ocean, May opens up the pod door. Ash has saved Samiya, but May is afraid that he drowned in the process. But something comes from the ocean behind May. Phantom pops up from the surface from his torpedo, grabbing Manaphy and soon makes a getaway. Phantom has an easy time at first, but then a yellow energy beam shoots out from the water and begins following Phantom. There's someone inside the energy beam though, and sees Ash. He pursues Phantom while the water Pokémon in the ocean begin gathering. As Phantom dives down beneath in hopes to avoid Ash, he's blocked by a school of Remoraid. Taking advantage of the pirate's surprise, Ash takes Manaphy away. He swims away, surprised at how many Pokémon have gathered; even the {{pkmn2|legendary}} {{p|Kyogre}} has appeared.

But not all is well; Phantom makes one last effort in capturing Manaphy by staging an attack with his large submarine. Manaphy however hops off from Ash's arms to take control. Manaphy summons all the nearby water Pokémon in the vicinity to launch a counterattack against Phantom's submarine. Most of them gather to hinder its movements while Chinchou slip into an exposed circuitry. They short out the submarine, leaving it a sitting duck. Taking this chance, Manaphy hops onto Kyogre, and Kyogre jumps out of the water, only to launch a Hyper Beam attack on the submarine, critically damaging it and all useful equipment. After the battle, Jackie, using Phantom's personal sub, finds his way to Phantom, where he's seeing him in tattered clothing holding up a heavy piece of a collapsed pillar. Behind the clothing reveals a mechanized suit, in which Jackie figures out how the old pirate was able to have superhuman strength like lifting a boulder up. Phantom's suit though overloads and the column collapses on him. Jackie climbs up on top of the wrecked sub, contacting the Ranger's Base that his mission is complete.

The crew aboard Blue Lagoon are excited to see Ash, especially having been granted the power the King had. To celebrate, Ash takes the others along in their own energy beams to explore the underwater depths around Samiya, to see all the water Pokémon that have gathered around to see the Prince of the Sea. At the end of the day, Samiya sinks down into the ocean once more to be hidden from the world. On the Blue Lagoon, May is with Manaphy, about to release it back into the ocean, this time for good. Though she has a hard time, she manages to say goodbye. Manaphy actually speaks out May's name, expressing how it loves May before jumping off into the ocean. Manaphy then swims towards Samiya.

===Ending credits===
The Blue Lagoon reaches the port town, with Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu greeting them excitedly at the dock. Ash and company part ways with the circus crew as they head off to their next destination. Jackie, with the help of Officer Jenny finds and arrest Captain Phantom and his crew from the Phantom Troop. In a later adventure, Zapdos is seen flying through a mountainous region, and is captured by Jackie so he can hitch a ride on it. Team Rocket are shown to have ended up inside a Wailord, only to be expelled from its body and shot into the air via its blow hole. Various Water Pokémon, including Manaphy, are shown wandering and swimming around Samiya. At the end, Ash and the gang are seen at camp during the night, conversing around a fire, and after they are shown walking a path in the woods, the camera pans off towards the sky.

==Events==
Manaphy with a King's Rock was [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#World Hobby Fair Manaphy|distributed]] in Japan. However {{pmin|the United States}} and {{pmin|Australia}} featured [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|distributions]] of a Manaphy with a Red Scarf, to represent {{an|May}}'s bandana.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy Music Collection}}

==Manga adaptation==
{{main|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (manga)}}

A {{pkmn|manga}} adaptation of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea was created by [[Makoto Mizobuchi]]. It was translated into English by both [[VIZ Media]] and [[Chuang Yi]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Cast of characters.png|thumb|right|250px|The main characters (excluding Jack and Phantom)]]
* [[Professor Sebastian]], [[Attila]], and [[Hun]] make a cameo during The World of Pokémon scene, with a captured {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* Yuyama Kunihiko traveled to {{pmin|Italy}} to visit the ruins of {{wp|Rome}}, the city of {{wp|Naples}} and the island of {{wp|Capri}} to get ideas for the setting of the movie.
* The {{pmin|South Korea|Korean dub}} of the movie premiered on July 20, 2006, only 5 days after the Japanese premiere.
* The title card animation sequence begins with a depiction of the {{wp|Hexagonal lattice|hexagonal crystal lattice}} of {{wp|Ice Ih|ice}}, however, the orientation of some water molecules is wrong: there should only be one hydrogen atom on every edge and one oxygen atom at every vertex.
* An ''{{wp|a capella}}'' version of ''[[Spurt!]]'' is played as the background music in the scenes where Jackie explained why he protects Pokémon and when Ash and May are swimming with {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Buizel}}.
** An instrumental version of ''[[Together We Make a Promise]]'' is used for these scenes in the dub.
* This was the last time that any media for the Pokémon anime was produced using hand-painted cels.
* This was the first Pokémon movie to be dubbed by Pokémon USA, and the only one by [[TAJ Productions]], since [[DuArt Film & Video|DuArt]] did ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* In the dub, when diamonds and pearls are mentioned for the first time in the movie, Meowth [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by saying "Hey, that sounds like a [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|good name for a game]]!". When they get mentioned for the second time, he says "Let's get through [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|this season]] first." Obviously he is referencing the (then) next games due out and the [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|next season]].
** On a related note, this is the third Pokémon movie to feature a character breaking the fourth wall, the first two being ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.
** All of these instances were courtesy of {{TRT}}.
* Although the posters and DVD cover show Ash controlling some kind of ship, he never actually does this in the movie.
* The clothes Jackie wears during his flashback resemble {{ga|Ethan}}'s.
* Jackie captures a {{p|Fearow}} with his Styler, which is most likely a reference to [[Ringtown]]'s Ranger Leader {{ra|Spenser}} and his Fearow.
* Near the climax of the movie, Ash turns his [[Ash's hat|hat]] backwards for the first time in several seasons.
* The movie aired on Cartoon Network in the UK, along with ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', before ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' was released on DVD.
* Teaser scenes that were used in the movie trailer shown at the end of the Japanese version of ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' ultimately did not make it into the movie; such as a scene where {{Ash}} is washed away while calling for {{AP|Pikachu}}, a scene where {{an|May}}'s and [[Lizabeth]]'s bracelets glow, and a scene which shows an alternate version of the architecture of the Sea Temple, as well as a nighttime scene where {{p|Kyogre}} leaps out of the water and back in.
* In a sneak peek of the movie on a [[Pokémon Sunday]] Segment, Ash made a reference to ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. When he first meets Jack Walker in the preview, he says {{tt|セレビィに負けないくらい森とポケモンを愛してる人だったな～|It's the person who took care of the Celebi in the dark forest}}.
* The dubbed version of this movie was the first movie to be premiered in the original widescreen format.
* This is the first dubbed version of a movie not to use the [[Media:Pokémon logo English.png|"Pokémon" logo]] despite the title containing the word "Pokémon". Instead, the font and color of the title is similar to the Japanese title.
*In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, when May teaches Manaphy how to talk, May speaks in Spanish and Manaphy repeats it in English. May seems to understand it anyway.
* {{ga|Brendan}} makes a cameo at the beginning of the movie, controlling a {{p|Swampert}}. This is most likely to keep in theme with the [[rival]]'s Pokémon having a type advantage over the main character's (in this case, [[May's Combusken]]).
* At {{wp|Target Corporation|Target}} and {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} stores in the United States, a bonus CD titled [[Exclusive Target Mix!]] and [[Exclusive Toys R US Mix!]] was bundled with the DVD release of this movie.
* This movie was the first movie in which a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon was not a main character.
* This movie was the second one to be skipped in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, even though [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|the Battle Frontier arc]] was dubbed in Finnish. Also [[M08|the previous movie]] suffered a similar fate.
** Both of these movies take place during the aforementioned season.

===Errors===
* When a bird's eye view of the young Jackie surrounded by Pokémon was shown, the long feathers on the Altaria's heads were white instead of the normal blue.

If you want you could mention the waiting time for the Dream Clouds since it starts at 45 minutes max, for all clouds to be ready with 4, 25 minute upgrades that increases it up to 145 minutes or 2 hrs. 25 min.

Looks like 173penguin, who happens to be new at the website... well, I think you remember the story, as recently you undid many prejudicial edits by him to the Missingno. page.

Well, I don't want to manualy undo each edit (would clog up and... you know, probably skip at least one... whatever-it wouldn't be nice), so could you please, as a staff member, revert again to the last edit before all of that and put a quick end to this nightmare?

Two missing [[Ability|Abilities]] are quite disturbing me at the momement: {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}'s {{p|Heracross}}'s Ability, ''plus'' the Ability of the wild {{p|Electrode}} that can be encountered at the Battle Pike.

Greta... it's fairly hard to test that without something like Transform, Trace or Skill Swap unless you're cheating. If anyone knows though, it's probably {{u|Jumpman16}}; he's got a reputation for being pretty experienced with battle facilities. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

:This reply indicates that you misunderstood the issue. This is not a matter of opinion, it is a mater of fact. And it is a fact that Iris's is just as grammatically correct as Iris'. Choosing to use Iris's or Iris' ''is'' a matter of opinion, but the fact that they are both correct is not. [http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/possessives.htm Here] is the source Jo provided one your talk page, which explains that they are both correct. [http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apostrophe The Oatmeal] has a comic where he points out both are acceptable.
:Now since it is a matter of preference as to which is used, the reason we use s's is that it is less ambiguous and easier to template. TTE always liked to point out that James' Carnevine could belong to one person named James or more than one Jame, whereas James's Carnevine belongs to James. Also, templates like {{template|TP}} and {{template|OP}} all template in <name>'s <pokemon>, so it makes it far easier to template for the pages if they are titled with s's. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:41, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Some users have been questioning the availability of Tamato Berries on [[Unova Route 5]] through the Pokemon Breeder. I have received them from her in the past but I never thought it to be an issue where I'd have to get some video proof over it until now. Until I get them again from her and get some video proof (I am trying every day), what can I do to appease the others on the talkpage that seem to want more verification? Should I keep the Tamato information up or remove it? [[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] ([[User talk:Chicobo329|talk]]) 03:30, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
:It's quite possible the chances are based on ID number. Anyway, you can soft reset and get different Berries every time, so I tried that a lot but came up with no Tamato Berries.

== Redone GB Sounds article ==

Do you [[User:SatoMew2/GB Sounds|like it]]? Your template needs some improvements, though. The Dream World artwork should be an optional parameter and there must be a way to specify that an item is only available in a given generation. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 17:08, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
:Also, I tried performing the {{DL|List of glitches in Generation IV|GB Sounds glitch}} on my European English HeartGold and it seems to be fixed. So you might want to check that out on the American English and other localizations to confirm if it is only present in the Japanese versions. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 00:51, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
::Overall I like your page; I hadn't really planned for it to be used on pages without artwork (most items have DW art, key items in Gen V have [[a:Category:Key item obtain sprites|key item obtain sprites]], and most other key items at least have some form of artwork like the Old Sea Chart). I've set up the template to include an exception for items with no art, but it doesn't look as nice anymore.
::I have done the glitch before in my Australian version (which is probably the same as the European one), and just tried it then and it worked. I had ''a lot'' of trouble figuring out how to get it to work originally (see [[User talk:TheOriginalOne#GB Sounds glitch]], and that's not the only conversation we had about it), but it does occur. Chances are the issue you're having is the same as mine was: the glitch will not occur if you use the GB Sounds as a registered item; you must open the Bag and use it from there. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:50, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
:::I understand your concern about the template kinda losing its charm but it doesn't look that bad either, in my opinion. Now all you need to add is a parameter to specify that the item is only available/present in a single generation. In the case of the GB Sounds, this would instead read "Only in Generation IV" as opposed to "Introduced in Generation IV" (disregarding the fact that it is present in the internal data of the Generation V games, of course).
:::I don't have the GB Sounds registered so I always called it from the Bag when attempting to perform the glitch. I also made sure no wild Pokémon encounters took place and the glitch still didn't work. Maybe it has to do with the tiles you Surf on between Route 20 and Cinnabar Island, since I always kept at least one tile from the border between the locations.

The European versions were the last ones. Or did you want to test the korean version? (it's older anyway) There are many glitches that are much more easily noticed than this one and that are not corrected tough. My discovery was just luck (a glitch that was just discovered 2 years after the game first came out), and this glitch isn't particularly important anyway. There are a lot of glitches registered in bulbapedia.

== Pokémon Mobile System GB stuff ==

===Compatible software===
We should make a table of compatible Mobile System GB software (not the Pokémon version, that is) but I'm not sure how exactly.

===PokéCom Center-related===
====GS Ball event====
The reason why I put the incomplete notification on the section for the events held by the PokéCom Center is because I'm not sure of the following:
* The true name of the minigame known as "Chieko Dice" as I don't see it being called that way (see below);
* The so-called "ten card quiz" may be incorrect as I see the quiz involving 5 questions for the April 2001 event and 8 for the May 2001 event, as described [http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Darts/9915/serebi.htm here] and [http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Darts/9915/serebi5.htm here], respectively.
Those links also refer to the minigame as 「チエコ」に{{jwp|サイコロ}}, with サイコロ being the Japanese term for the {{wp|dice}} game. It also mentions that チエコ ''Chieko'' is from Azalea Town.

To put it simply, we do know there was a minigame involving dice and that there were quizzes but we're not sure on the minigame's name and the actual amount of questions in the quiz or quizzes.

====Trade Corner info====
It probably needs expansion based on this unused English text (taken from the text dump I have—it's probably missing internal placeholder strings; I also adapted the text and replaced the caps with the <nowiki><sc></nowiki> tag):

<blockquote>Hello! Welcome to <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>Com Center Trade Corner</sc>. You can trade <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> with other people far away.

==Naming conventions for glitch pokémon sprites==
Recently I've been very confused about this. I read what was stipulated [[Bulbapedia:Project GlitchDex#Glitch Pokémon sprites|here]], and immediately noticed that it wasn't being followed on most images. There were many different models on those uploads - how I wish autoconfirmed users could move pages on the archives just like in bulbapedia... WAIT! Before you start doing anything, let me tell you why am I really concerned on this matter, which is the defect of the current convention: what about pokémon with more than one front/back sprite? Maybe putting a "2" at the end of one, but... what about Missingno.? Its sprite depends on the hexadecimal! In addition, there are a few glitch pokémon that share the same dex number... on the same game! And a possible other defect: are there any glitch pokémon that can either be shiny or not?

So, would you agree with, before a mass move of pages, changing the convention to "[game]Glitch[hex][_b][_2].png"? [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 23:52, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, I came up with that as a convention for the files to be moved to and to use when uploading new ones; I haven't had time to move them all to the new convention (and generally leave menial tasks like that to other people). Apart from Missingno., glitch Pokémon in the Generation I and II games should only have one front and one back sprite. The standard is how they appear in battle; other sprites just aren't used. I don't think the _2 convention is necessary. Missingno.'s extra sprites are taken from other parts of the game (Fossil sprites and the ghost sprite) and follow those naming conventions rather than the glitch ones. Also, Missingno.'s other forms don't have a static Pokédex number; they copy what the Pokémon loaded had. As for its forms in Yellow... they should have different Pokédex entries. I really wish I had a Gen I game so I could accurately evaluate these kind of things, but unfortunately I don't. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:58, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

== Nintendo Space World '97 flyer ==

[[File:Mew NSW97 flyer.jpg|thumb|right|The flyer]]
I found this old flyer for Nintendo Space World '97 on an archived 2ch thread, I believe. Then reverse-searched the image to find a copy in better resolution and quality. It seems to be announcing the Mew event at NSW '97 but I'm not sure. And I don't know where this could be used so I'm asking you to take a look at it, if you don't mind. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 22:24, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
:Me and SnorlaxMonster worked together to do the event page revamp, and events are a specialty of mine so I should be able to help a little. Based on the Space World '97 text from the [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/index.html official site], it is defiantly a poster detailing the Nintendo Space World '97 Mew. Also the poster does say that at most 10,000 people will receive Mew. However most text is still very small for translation, but the bottom appears to be describing the postcard submission process. It should be noted there appears to be a discrepancy in dates though, the offical site says November 22 to 24, 1997 while the poster appears to say November 22 to 23, 1997. As for the location of the poster, I would say somewhere on [[List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation I|this page]] but I can't say where for certain.

::If the dates are inconsistent, it should be mentioned.

== AvailabilityGlitch template. ==

This template has sections for all generations I-V, but a split might be better for it. I'm thinking that the template should be split into two, one being Gen. I and II, the other being Gen. III-V. I think this because Gen. II and III cannot be linked together in any way, thus causing it to be impossible for a glitch to be related between them.

::Certainly; thank you. When one mounts the Bicycle in Victory Road, the Bicycle music, of course, plays, supplanting the ordinary Victory Road music.

== Question regarding merchandise articles and pertinence ==

During my random paging, I had come across numerous merchandise articles, ranging from gashapon figures, to trading figures, to a few licensed toys. After a very quick search and look in the [[:Category:Figures|figures]] category, I noticed that there were no indications of the Bandai D-arts figure line. I happen to own one of the figures (Mewtwo) and would like to possibly create an article regarding that figure line, provided with proper sources and press releases, which I can acquire elsewhere.

That said, is there a specific protocol to merchandise articles? Would such an article be necessary? The D-arts line is relatively new, as the first figure (Mewtwo) was released in March, after an announcement in October. Blastoise and Charizard were also announced for the line. So, if you could enlighten me on the proper protocol for merchandise articles, it would be appreciated. Thanks. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 09:42, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:Basically, if it's officially licensed and produced in a reasonable quantity, then it would qualify for an article. The thing is that in most cases merchandise isn't widely promoted, and it isn't usually something people go out of their way to write articles for.
:As for how to format the article, I can't exactly describe it, but what I usually do is find an article on a similar topic and format the new article like that one (although often I then decide I want things a different way and edit the first article as well). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:04, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
::Though I was able to import my figure through Big Bad Toystore, and others had used similar importers, as far as I know, the line was intended to be distributed primarily in Japan. However, a contact of mine did mention that an import store that he frequents had stocked the figures, so there is a level of overseas distribution. As far as I know, it is due to a licensing deal with Bluefin, which I assume handles the imports. I will need to double-check that.
::These figures are not necessarily mass-market merchandise, but rather licensed high-end collectibles. Mewtwo cost me around $60, and that was just after release. Pre-orders went around $50-60, and after-market values have increased to over $100. So, in terms of uniqueness, the line ''could'' qualify for an article on the grounds of it being marketed toward collectors, rather than children. The figures themselves are highly-articulated and average in size around six inches.
::As for the promotion, I would need to double-check on that. The line is promoted in Japanese magazines, as far as I know. What those magazines are, I cannot say for certain without further information from several of my sources. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 10:13, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

== Starter Pokémon template, Eevee Pokémon XD ==

I was on the Starter Pokémon page and I looked at the template used at the bottom

{{Starter Pokémon|Arceus}}
<pre>
[[Category:Terminology]]
[[Category:Starter Pokémon|*]]
[[Category:Anime starter Pokémon|*]]</pre>

(and I hope posting that doesn't somehow bug out the site)

Anyways I looked at the XD portion and noticed it says Eevee can evolve into any of its Eeveelutions. XD is from Gen III and there were only 5 Eeveelutions around at the time. Shouldn't the template or whatever (I have almost 0 tech skills/knowledge) be changed to reflect this. At the moment it is kind of misleading. I would hate for someone to get a copy of XD and try to get one of its IV or VI Eeveelutions and get frustrated because they can't due to them not existing when the game was conceived. I'm not sure if you're the right person to go to for this, not even sure if your a staff member or have the power to change the template.

== Question about dub edits ==

Would dub edits be pertinent to character articles, if the edit is in reference to that character's dialogue? Or, are dub edits only pertinent in the media articles? I ask this because in the original Japanese dub of [[M01|''Mewtwo Strikes Back'']], [[Raymond]], after his defeat, says in very plain English "OH MY GOD!" That was not the only instance of "Engrish" in the movie, as when {{Ash}} is told that the storm is too violent for him to cross the waters with his Pokémon, he responds with a forlorn "damn." Also, upon entering {{an|Mewtwo}}'s laboratory and snooping around, when [[Jessie]] sits on the computer console, she utters a particular four-letter word. Would any of those changes in dialogue be worth mentioning? Or, are instances of "Engrish" in the original dubs usually ignored in articles?

== The Uncut Story Of Mewtwo's Origin‎ ==

Lol, I already had this kind of problems in the past, and since then I have been more cautious to avoid problems, but I didn't realize that a brief mentioning of y. would be a big deal (not even Wikipedia ha such strict policies), but if my message was wrong, than your removal of it was a good thing. Anyway, back to the main topic: I have the Mewtwo Returns DVD and the voice of adult Mewtwo in "The Uncut Story Of Mewtwo's Origin‎" seems to me Addie Blaustein's voice (she also voiced young Mewtwo), but it could also be Phillip Bartlett's voice (I am Italian and I haven't watched the whole first movie in English, just few scenes). What do you think? Do you recognize the voice? --[[User:Abcd|Abcd]] ([[User talk:Abcd|talk]]) 11:28, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, we have to be strict on copyright violations, and certainly moreso than Wikipedia; Wikipedia has way easier access to many skilled lawyers than Bulbagarden does. We need to be extra careful, as we probably do things anyway that already violate Pokémon's copyright, and we just need to stay "in their good books".
:I'm not very skilled in VA recognition. I think the credits would be a better choice, although I'm not sure if the DVD does have credits after the short or not, or if there are credits somewhere else. We typically avoid guessing VAs by ear anyway, as we have communication with the VAs themselves and they get annoyed when voices get misattributed due to someone guessing by ear (although they are the DuArt VAs, so they are less likely to know who voiced characters in a 4Kids dub). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:38, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

The DVD doesn't have credits after that short, the only credits present are after "Mewtwo Returns" (and they are just generic "Voice Characterizations by" and "Additional Voices by", without saying who voices who). What you said about guessing VAs by ear may be right in principle, but there must be exceptions: for example I wrote that the adult voice of Mewtwo is Masachika Ichimura at the end of the short, and I only knew that by ear; I am sure that someone that knows American VAs better than me can judge if the voice is Blaustein's or Bartlett's (in the scene where Mewtwo gets older his voice also get older, but it seems to me that it just deepens without changing much, that's why I think that it may be Blaustein). If other people follow our discussion, the problem could be easily solved. --[[User:Abcd|Abcd]] ([[User talk:Abcd|talk]]) 12:17, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
*For what it's worth, it sounds like Bartlett's voice, and the dub was made around the time that Bartlett was voicing Mewtwo. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 03:23, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

:The point is you can't just say that a character was voiced by a specific person without stating how you know that to be the case. Was it in the credits? Did the VA tweet about it? Is it on some cast sheet you have access to?

== A new section for every Pokémon page: type origin. ==

At first, um, hello SnorlaxMonster, and I don't know if I'm with the right person to ask this, but if I ain't, then please tell me who could help me. So to start things of: Every Pokémon has a 'Origin' and 'Name Origin' section. These sections mostly include speculation, and are some of the few places on Bulbapedia where that is allowed. But there is one more thing that I, and hopefully others, have really liked to see on Bulbapedia: 'Type Origin'! This would be a section which should include speculation in the same way as the 'Origin' and 'Name Origin' section, but this one would explain why a Pokémon has a specific type(-combination) and/or how a Pokémon is related to a specific type(-combination). So would would Tornadus's Type Origin explain that he is probably a pure Flying-type, because he is able to fly and has to go with Thundurus and Thornadus. But also that he is about windstorms, and the best type to represent 'windstorms' is the 'flying-type'. So Tornadus is actually the 'Windstorm-type' and the 'Being-able-to-fly-type', both of which are represented by the 'flying-type'. So he is actually the flying-type and the flying-type, so because Pokémon can't have the same type twice, he is a pure flying-type. Also Noivern, the 'Sonic Pokémon', is said to produce soundwaves with its ears. And soundwaves are actually vibrations in the air, so we again get the flying-type. And then Noivern is also a Dragon-like creature, so it also needs to be the Dragon-type. But Noivern is mostly about sound, so the flying type comes first. And that is why Noivern has Flying as its primary type. Then Gardevoir has the newly-introduced Fairy-type, because it is based on a Guardian angel. And angels would be represented by the fairy type. Also, some Pokémon own the Water-type, just because they are based on aquatic animals. Not because they actually have anything to do with 'water', that also should be noted. And it should also be noted if a Pokémon is the Fire-type because it is related to Fire itself, Magma, Lava, Heat, Stars, and so on. A reason to be of the Ground-type doesn't really need a Pokémon to be about earth, but also about sand, mud and clay! Jynx is an Ice-type, but not because she is made out of ice! However Regice is also and Ice-type but Regice IS made out of ice. So they got different reasons to be Ice-types! So how about it? Is it a nice idea to add the 'Type Origin' section to the Pokémon pages? By the way, thanks for reading the whole thing if you did...

==4"4 Hy and other glitch stuff==
Someone has just moved the page to 4!4 Hy. I can understand why, because of its in-battle name, but I think it's dubious, so I would never make that move myself, and I'm more in favor of the old name. What do you think? Should this be kept?
'''Update:''' Now someone has moved it to 4 "4Hy! (notice the space...argh!)
'''Update 4:''' Now someone moved it to 4!4=Hy, just because of that glitch block!
'''Update 7:''' Was moved to 4 4Hy! <big><big>HELP ME!!!</big></big>

'''Update 2:''' Two other things:

* Could you please add <code><nowiki><includeonly>[[Category:Glitches]]</includeonly></nowiki></code> to {{template|Project GlitchDex notice}}?

* Also, could you tell me if [[User:TheOriginalOne/GlitchPkmnPrevNext|this template]], which is based on {{template|PokémonPrevNextHead}}, would be suitable for use at the beginning of every glitch pokémon page?

Thanks.

'''Update 3:''' ...two other things:

* Should I consider [[a:File:MissingNo. Z Yellow.png]] another sprite of Yellow B8, and so change the Missingno. article according to that?

* I think I noticed a mistake that prevents us from using the move templates that we use in pages like [[List of glitch moves|this one]]: the template from the middle shows the minisprite for the pokémon with the equivalent pokédex number. This may be good with hybrids, but the problem is that when the glitch pokémon in question has a # higher than 151 the template will display pokémon from the next gen - and yes, I confirmed that it has nothing to do with the JGGlitch. And even in the other cases where the number is different from 000, the glitch pokémon might not always be a hybrid.
** Even more important than that, why are most of them marked as "000"? Is the article really that incomplete?

'''Update 5:''' I was posting move and deletion notices on glitch sprites that didn't follow the naming convention, when I noticed something weird: [[♀ .]] and [['v]]'s sprites are exceptions to the ones of the glitch pokémon that share the same games and #. Now the question is: to which new name should those exceptions be moved?

'''Update 6:''' Also, could you please move [[A]] to A (C0), as there's [[A (EA)|another A]]?

'''Update 8:''' And when is [[Five question marks]] going to be split? There's no point on keeping it.

'''Update 9:''' It would also be a good idea to add a display name option to {{template|GlitchPkmnInfobox}}, under the other games equivalent title. What I mean is that, for example, in [[94 h]], it is mistakingly said "Equivalent in Yellow: [[$ (glitch Pokémon)]]", instead of just "[[$ (glitch Pokémon)|$]]" (links to the other one). That's what I'm trying to get fixed.

Thank you for doing most of the legwork in changing all the infoboxes/categories/etc for the side series games last month.

Just because the pictures are Aromatherapy doesn't mean the information is wrong, especially when it's labeled with the same move underneath each language.

:Sorry to interrupt, but I can answer to that one. I saw your first talk page (you are intelligent: you hid the negative comments!) and so I know your problem. Due to that scheme of yours that involved doing random mainspace edits just in order to be autoconfirmed, they told you that you were "put in abuse". Being put in abuse means you can no longer edit any of your userspace (that means everything that has the <code>User:</code> prefix), until you prove you can make more mainspace edits than the userspace ones.

First of all, that wasn't a "scheme" of mine. Yes my account was autoconfirmed and I did make a constuctive edit on Cacnea, but somebody deleted it for no reason. And what mainspace edits did I even do? If you're talking about the one that administrator told me about, I never did any of that. My IP address got hacked so it made it look like I was the one who made those edits when in fact I never did. They put me in the abuse group just because something happen to my IP address.

:Sorry, but I have no way of knowing exactly what was made by your account, as the changes were hidden by the admin. And please, can't you admit you did it? In case you didn't notice, the IP adress really identifies you, and unless the hacker used the same computer as yours, there's no hacker at all. There's no problem in admitting you commited a mistake, as nobody is perfect. Specially when you're a new user: this happens all the time. I have a bunch of them actually.

I haven't used it since 2010 and I only came back on it because I got an email from the one I used to confirm my account saying that I made some non constructive changes on bulbapedia. When I went on, I discovered my account wasn't logged on. Either somebody hacked my Ip address or somebody else went on my computer. I'm pretty sure it's the latter. I didn't do anything. Just because an ip address identifies you doesn't mean you can automaically point the blame at the real user. I did mistakes before on bulbapedia but I stopped.

It consists of five sentences and two charts. In my opinion, that's not enough for a separate article. The Mystery Dungeon section is the longest in the article, and I think there's enough in there to split it off, but the other two sections don't appear long enough for separate articles.

I could try completing that if I got allowed to edit that userspace (I mean, the user hasn't been here for few months, so talking to him/her might not result in response in long time); also wondering if {{m|Ice Beam}}'s entry should be left as it is, or mark Holiday Hi-Jynx with asterisk and mark usage in first [[EP056|actual episode]].

==Addition to Pokemon X and Y versions==
Sir official website of Pokemon XY have updated the gym leader section while Bulbapedia has not updated yet.Two more Gym leaders are announced.Please take a look and edit the [[Gym Leader]] Page.

== Mewtwo Awakened Forme ==

Ok, since you removed the info on the "Awakened" forme off the forme page, I guess you're the one to ask this?

So did gamefreak just decide to scrap the "Awakened" forme thing and went with Mega Evolution? They mention in all the trailers that game play footage is not final, and that it can change before release date.

Should/will this be investigated and noted in the article for Mewtwo, Mega Evoltuion and/or the Forme Difference Articles? I mean we wen't from fully accepting the Awakened forme to the point of having it on the articles, to now having Game Freak do a 180° and now instead we have Mega Mewtwo.

Also, Can/Should the Mega Evolutions be counted as a forme/sub category of forme? and Should mention of this move by Game Freak be made? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 05:50, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Sure, I'll give it a go!

BTW, do you mean what Korean players call EVs (since "EV" is, IIRC, not technically an official term)? Or what Pokemon Korea is officially calling "Base Stats" on their version of [http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon_101/stats/ this page] concerning it?

== Is there a article that lists the registered trademarks from the Pokémon franchise? ==

Is there a article that lists all the known (R), (TM) and (C) of Game Freak and Pokémon like the newly discovered Pokkén and other items like Mega Evolution, which were trademarked at some point for future possible use by the franchise?

If not, would that be a article worth making sense it would be informative, and also provide a resource for those who barely know what a Registered Trademark is? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 14:17, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
:There is not. I know all Pokémon names are trademarked. I don't know how we would go about compiling a list though. I believe Pokémon Opal and Pokémon Topaz have been trademarked since at least DP (because I remember everyone thinking Platinum would be called Opal because of that, and then thinking Black and White would be Opal and Topaz). Also, don't forget patents like {{pk|Patent US7762893}} (although that's Pikmin, the point is still relevant).
:Copyrighted things don't work the same though, as copyright is automatic and you don't need to file for it (although you do need to renew it sometimes, but Pokémon is far too young for that). ™ indicates something is trademarked, but not necessarily that it is a registered trademark (which is what we find). ® is really the only one of the three you listed that is of relevance (registered trademarks). Anyway, I'm not a copyright expert, so I may have a few things wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's the way things work. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

::On last quick question...Did HGSS have to be ® or did the ® from GSC carry over? I ask because I am rooting for a RSE remake and I'm curious how easily Game Freak could sneak that under the radar. That's another reason I was asking if such a list article existed, so I could see if any filing for a RSE remake was on there.

== Distorted images ==

Hi I'm not terribly good at editing and I noticed a few of the main Pokemon images do not have the correct dimensions causing them to appear squished.

{{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Arceus}}, and {{p|Victini}} are like this, though there are probably a lot more.
[[User:Bioness|Bioness]] ([[User talk:Bioness|talk]]) 18:02, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
:Virtually all of them are (or were) like that. The reason is that the Bulbagarden Archives (where the images are stored) doesn't always instantaneously sync up with Bulbapedia. The admins have changed all the Sugimori art on the Archives to a square aspect ratio to make them uniform, and Bulbapedia recognizes the changed dimensions but not the image itself, so it's stretching the old versions of the images to fit the new dimensions. The images will eventually properly sync on their own. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:21, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

== Bulbanews article about split-second Pokémon information ==

Hello Snorlaxmonster, I noted you created the Bulbanews article about the Pokémon seen for a split-second in the Pokémon direct. However, it states: 'Due to the extreme brevity of its appearance, it appears to only be included by mistake.' while there isn't any note about what is said at the time the Pokémon appears: During a battle, I think there will be a moment'. Could the article please state this is a possible reference to the split-second moment the Pokémon appears in during the battle?

::SnorlaxMonster, I think he is trying to say that the mistake was intentional, as it is a reference to the split-second in which every pokémon enter a battle. To the user, if that's the case: The problem is that if that was their intention, they would at least refer the pokémon. I viewed the Direct (didn't even notice the split-second), and I can assure you they didn't do so. And even if they wanted to reveal it without other references, why would they just show it for a split-second? It wouldn't actually be a very adequate strategy. ''Even'' if they referred it.

: Of course he said something after the moment the Pokémon appeared, otherwise it wouldn't be a hidden reference, but just an invitation to pause the video. And by the way, you can say the line after the moment without needing the one before the moment for it to make sense: 'When a players feelings seem to actually go into the game and combine with their Pokémon, that's when Mega Evolution happens'.

FanOfCountry: /* Console games */ Didn't know there was a link for this...

===About Me===
Hello. I am FanOfCountry. I am male and 26 years old. I first was introduced to ''Pokémon'' at the very beginning when the games and anime were first hitting the US and the first ''Pokémon'' game I ever owned was ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red Version]]''. I would later go on to own ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Blue Version]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Yellow|Pokémon Yellow Version]]''. With the second generation of Pokémon I only ended up getting ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver Version]]'' and with the third generation I got all the games from it but I did have one issue come up I lost ''Red'', ''Blue'' and ''Yellow'' long before I got ''Silver'' and ''Silver'', ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby]]'', ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Sapphire]]'', ''[[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]'', ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed]]'' and ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen]]'' were stolen from me. I have seens been working on reinstating my game collection and have so far regotten ''Red'', ''Blue'' and ''Silver'' and all the RPG games on the Gameboy Advance. For the first time every though I have actually finally gotten to own ''Crystal'' and have of course gotten on the games on the DS system that have been released and have reserved copies of [[Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']] (which I am paying them off soon so when the games come out all I got to do is pick them up.) I first learned of Bulbapedia a few years ago and never really had any interest in editing on it before but I have since come to rely on it a bit. In fact it was thanks to Bulbapedia that I learned of the [[Mew glitch]] that was in ''Red'' and ''Blue'' and I did it (using Method #2) and was for the first time absolutely thrilled to get Mew legitly in the the game (without an actual cheating device) and completed the first 151 Pokémon in the Pokédex of ''Red'' and ''Blue'' for the first time since I originally owned them (I bought a Gameshark to get Mew the first time I owned the games.)
