'''Girafarig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: キリンリキ ''Kirinriki'') is a {{2t|Normal|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

It is notable for being one of only two Normal dual-type Pokémon that is not part {{type2|Flying}}, the other being {{p|Bibarel}}.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Girafarig are Pokémon that possess several unusual features. Their front halves are yellow with black spots while their back halves are black with yellow spots. In the front they have a long neck used for browsing (though not quite as long as their real-world counterparts), with pink spikes running down the back. The most unusual feature is its tail end, which possesses a head of its own. However, this head is incapable of independent thinking but relies on outside stimuli such as smell to guide its actions. The tail often mimics the head during feeding and is able to warn the Pokémon of danger if it is sleeping.

===Gender differences===

The darker section of a female Girafarig is smaller than a male's, and only contains one yellow spot.

=Trivia=
* The original design of Girafarig had a full-sized second head, reflecting its palindromic name, and rather resembling a {{wp|pushmi-pullyu}}.
* Girafarig's name is a [[wp:Palindrome|palindrome]].
*Girafarig is one of the few Generation II Pokémon that do not have an evolutionary relative. The others are {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Dunsparce}}, {{p|Qwilfish}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Stantler}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Miltank}}.
* Girafarig is one of only two Pokémon that is part {{type2|Normal}} and not part {{type2|Flying}}. The other is {{p|Bibarel}}.
*In Pokémon Revolution Girafarig's tail does not make a biting motion, unlike in the previous 3D installments.
*In its Gold and Silver shiny sprite, the whole of its back was blue, but in the games after it, only the spikes on its back and its nose are blue.

==Origin==
[[Image:Chain Chomp.png|right|thumb|180px|A {{wp|Chain Chomp}}]]
As its name states, Girafarig is based off of a [[wp:Giraffe|giraffe]]. In addition, Girafarig's second head bears a resemblance to a {{wp|Chain Chomp}} from the {{wp|Super Mario Bros}} series.

===Name origin===
Girafarig is based firstly on a [[wp:Giraffe|giraffe]] and its name is a palindrome like its Japanese name, ''Kirinriki''.

In modern Japanese, 麒麟 ''kirin'' simply means giraffe, but it is also the Japanese name of [[wp:Qilin|Qílín]], the Chinese unicorn. The Qilin was feared by criminals as it was able to detect guilt. After sensing the guilt, the Qilin would stare at the guilty party and pierce its heart.

Shouldn't we change this to Jessie's Lickitung?
-Dawnfan47

You mean Benny's Lickitung? No. Benny is a character of the day, and Bulbapedia does not create articles about Pokémon belonging to characters of the day. If we had one for Benny, then we'd have one for Kay's Raichu, or Samurai's Metapod, or even Bucky's Dunsparce. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 22:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

== Regarding traded Pokemon ==

"Lickitung was the first Pokémon belonging to a main character to be permanently traded. Coincidentally, the second permanently-traded Pokémon is also of the Normal-type and receives an evolution in Generation IV, Aipom."

Uh, so [[James's Victreebel]] doesn't count?

It was released soon after it was traded so I guess it doesn't count as a permanently traded Pokemon. [[User:Farfetch'd|Farfetch'd]] 19:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

'''Aipom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: エイパム ''Eipam'') is a {{t|Normal}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Aipom appear to be purple monkeys. Their beige faces have round eyes and a constantly cheeky smile. Along their heads are large, oval-shaped ears and a [[wp:cowlick|cowlick]]. An Aipom's arms are completely purple with no actual paws nor fingers present, while they do have visible feet instead.

The most famous feature of this arboreal Pokémon is the three-fingered hand on the end of its tail. It uses its tail for many purposes, such as grappling onto tree branches, picking fruit and manipulating objects. It uses its tail so much that its real arms aren't as dexterous as a result.

===Gender differences===
A female has a longer [[wp:cowlick|cowlick]] on its head.

===Special abilities===
Aipom are very acrobatic and can therefore learn {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{m|Bounce}} and {{m|U-turn}}. Aipom can also learn a couple of {{type2|Fighting}} moves, such as {{m|Brick Break}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}. Even though Aipom doesn't seem to possess any claws, it can use slashing moves such as {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Cut}}. Aipom can also learn a few special-based moves, such as {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Some of Aipom's status moves include {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Tickle}}, {{m|Baton Pass}} and the rarely seen {{m|Nasty Plot}}. Aipom is one of the few Pokémon that can evolve after learning a certain move. The move in Aipom's case is {{m|Double Hit}}.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Aipom usually live in heavily wooded areas.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Image:Ash_aipom.jpg|left|thumb|[[Dawn's Aipom]]]]
Aipom first appeared in ''[[Spell of the Unown]]'', it was owned by a trainer named [[Lisa (movie)|Lisa]].

A group of Aipom were causing mischief in ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

An Aipom made off with one of {{p|Delibird}}'s missing presents in ''[[Delibird's Dilemma]]''.

In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', an Aipom's tear was needed for a spell.

In ''[[AG181|Channeling the Battle Zone]]'', [[Ash Ketchum]] captures an [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]]. Her behavior is similar to that of [[Ash's Bayleef|Ash's Chikorita]]. In [[DP055]], he traded her to {{an|Dawn}} for [[Ash's Buizel|Buizel]] because Aipom was more interested in [[Contests]] and Buizel was more interested in [[Gym]]s. Aipom evolved into {{p|Ambipom}} in [[DP060]] protecting Dawn from attacking {{p|Unown}}.

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Gold}} has an Aipom named Ataro.

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

==NPC appearances==
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Aipom makes a cameo in the "Eager {{p|Eevee}}" mini-game. Aipom is the one who lifts open the crate.
* [[Pokémon Trozei!]]: [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] owns an Aipom.

'''Ash's Muk''' (Japanese: '''サトシのベトベトン''' ''Satoshi's Betbeton'') was the ninth Pokémon caught by [[Ash]] during his travels through [[Kanto]]. Its Japanese voice actor is ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'' and its English voice actor is [[Michael Haigney]].

Ash caught Muk in the episode ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly For Magnemite]]''. Ash and his friends were traveling through [[Gringey City]], which was in the midst of a power failure. The local power plant was being overrun by the mysterious {{t|Poison}}-type [[Pokémon]] {{p|Grimer}}. They were blocking the flow of water to the generators, causing the power failure. In order to stop the power outage, Ash, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] traveled to the abandoned power plant with a newly befriended {{p|Magnemite}}. When they got there, the Magnemite’s team of {{p|Magneton}} defeated the Grimer. After the swarm was taken down and all hope looked to be regained, the Grimer's leader, a large {{p|Muk}}, came and challenged the trainers. Ash ordered {{AP|Pikachu}} and Magnemite to take it down and, after weakening it, Ash captured the Muk. Muk was then immediately sent to Oak's lab because its stench was so rancid that it could seep through the [[Poké Ball]]. However, Muk's horrid smell seemed to have disappeared. In later episodes, neither Ash, nor anyone around him, was affected by it.

While at the lab, Muk grew an attachment to [[Professor Oak]] and seemed to be enjoying the environnment. Whenever the gang travels to the lab, Muk is almost always seen cuddling the Professor or enjoying the presence of Ash. So far, Muk has only been in two major battles since his capture in which he smothered a high-level {{p|Bellsprout}} using {{m|Body Slam}} and won the match for [[Ash]]. Muk also battled [[Gary Oak]]'s {{p|Scizor}} in the Johto League. However, Ash also briefly used him when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and [[Misty]] were captured by a creature in the sewers- really an overgrown Bulbasaur that had been abandoned-, Muk helping Ash and [[Tracey]] locate where their friends had been taken.

==Moves used==
* {{m|Sludge}}
* {{m|Toxic}}
* {{m|Body Slam}}
* {{m|Sludge Bomb}}
* {{m|Poison Gas}}

==Trivia==
*When [[Professor Birch]] visited Oak's lab, Muk attempted to hug him as well.
*This is the only pure {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon Ash or any of [[Ash's friends|his friends]] have owned.

'''Celadon City''' (Japanese: '''タマムシシティ''' ''Tamamushi City'') is located in central [[Kanto]]. It is one of the largest cities in Kanto, second only to the giant [[Saffron City]] in the east. It is home to [[Erika]], the Celadon City [[Gym Leader]].

==Places of interest==
===Celadon Department Store===
On the east side of town, a decorative fountain rests before the large [[Celadon Dept. Store]].

===Celadon Mansion===
Next to the town's [[Pokémon Center]] is the [[Celadon Mansion]], where staff members of [[Game Freak]] rent a room from an old lady.

===Game Corner===
Main article: ''[[Rocket Game Corner]]''

The southern part of the city caters to travelers and tourists. In addition to a hotel and a restaurant, the Game Corner is a popular spot. The citizens take pride in the city's beauty and think the casino is bad for their image.

The Rocket Game Corner sold very rare [[Pokémon]] such as {{p|Dratini}} in exchange for coins.

In the [[Generation I]] games, the player must go into the underbelly of the Game Corner and defeat [[Team Rocket]]. In [[Generation II]], it has been renamed the Celadon Game Corner and is no longer run by Team Rocket.

===Perfume Shop===
Attached to the Celadon [[Gym#Celadon Gym|Gym]] is a perfume shop, run by Erika herself.

In the anime, [[Ash Ketchum]] expressed disgust at the fragrances and was banned from the perfume shop and thus the Gym.

[[Image:Celadon-skyline.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The Celadon skyline, as seen in the anime]]
===Scissor Street===
[[Scissor Street]], famous for its [[Pokémon Breeder]]s, including [[Susie]], is also located here.

Tamamushi iro (玉虫色) refers to the [[wp:Iridescence|iridescent]] colors of the [[wp:Buprestidae|jewel beetle]]. Jewel beetles reflect a rainbow of colors, most noticeably green.

==Trivia==
*In [[EP136]] of the anime, it is mentioned that Celadon City has a university, where the episode's [[Nurse Joy]] studied Pokémon psychology. In [[EP163|a later episode]] it is revealed that [[Professor Oak]] used to teach there.

= Synopsis =

[[Ash]], [[Misty]], [[Brock]], and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] arrive in a new city and head towards the [[Pokémon Center]]. There they encounter a group of children who tell them about the newest fad. Pokémon Fortune Telling, an activity similar to [[wp:Horoscope|horoscopes]] in which people are assigned a Pokémon personality type based on their birthdate. Eager to find out her Pokémon type Misty drags her companions along to a local [[Pokémon daycare|daycare]] that has been giving out copies of the Fortune Telling book. Arriving at the daycare the owners explain to Misty that it's considered good luck to own the Pokémon that corresponds to your personality type. The daycare center has a booming business in matching trainers with their Pokémon type and frequently holds Pokémon for trainers until a suitable trade can be made.

After getting a copy of the book, Misty reveals each of her companion's Pokémon types. Ash is listed as a {{p|Bellsprout}} type, while Brock is an {{p|Onix}} type. Misty eagerly looks up her own type, but is shocked to see that she's listed as a {{p|Gyarados}} type. Ash tells her that it's nothing to get worked up about, but he is unable to stop Misty's growing anger. Traveling back to the Pokémon Center the group falls into one of [[Team Rocket]]'s pitfall traps, but an angry Misty easily climbs out and sends them "blasting off again". Upon landing, Team Rocket collects themselves and notices that they've unwittingly obtained Misty's fortune telling book. [[Jessie]] looks at it and finds that she's an {{p|Eevee}} type. [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] tries to look himself up, but Jessie reminds him that as an actual Pokémon his type should be glaringly obvious. She then reads [[James]]' type, and is shocked to see that he's a {{p|Moltres}}. Initially skeptical, a series of bizarre coincidences soon convince James that the book can actually tell his future. Taking its words that Moltres type will "soar above the others" literally, he begins to see himself as undefeatable, and quickly appoints himself the new leader of Team Rocket. Impressed with his sudden shift in personality, Jessie and Meowth decide to follow his lead.

James leads them to the daycare, planning on using his Moltres powers to steal every Pokémon inside. He attempts to intimidate the daycare's owners, but is surprised when they reveal themselves to be none other than fellow Rockets [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], who quickly capture and lock up the Rocket trio. Tied up inside the daycare James once again surprises his companions by easily breaking out of his bonds and clearing an escape route. Leading them out of the daycare he begins to plan their revenge.

Meanwhile Misty continues to stew over her Pokémon type. When she overhears Brock talking about how Gyrados suits her she decides to return to the daycare and demand an explanation from its owners, dragging Brock and Ash along with her. Entering the daycare, they see that the front desk is empty and decide to look for the owners in the back rooms. There they see all of the Pokémon in cages and overhear a conversation between Butch, Cassidy, and Giovanni. Realizing that the entire daycare is another Rocket scheme the group decides to free the captured Pokémon. Unfortunately they are quickly discovered by Butch and Cassidy who begin to battle them with their [[Raticate (Team Rocket)|Raticate]] and {{p|Primeape}}.

Suddenly Jessie and Meowth appear by driving a crane through the wall. To everyone's surprise James' comes flying in on the crane dressed in a Moltres suit. Declaring himself the "flame that burns brightest" he announces his intention to steal all of the Pokémon in the daycare as well as those that belong to the "twerps". He calls out [[James's Victreebel|Victreebel]] and unexpectedly manages to defeat Raticate with it. Unfortunately James' ego is quickly shot down when Butch and Cassidy reveal that their entire fortune book was just part of their scam. Depressed that he's not actually a Moltres type James quickly reverts back to his old self forcing Jessie to start battling with [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]]. However Wobbuffet alone isn't enough and Primeape quickly sends Jessie, James, Meowth, and their Pokémon "blasting off". Taking advantage of the battle Misty, Ash, and Brock go searching for the keys to the Pokémon cages but are quickly cornered by Butch and Cassidy.

Butch and Cassidy begin battling but are defeated by the combined efforts of [[Misty's Poliwhirl|Poliwhirl]], [[Ash's Totodile|Totodile]] and Pikachu. A quick call to [[Officer Jenny]] and the two Rockets are once again on their way to prison. While talking with Jenny Misty notices that she has an official Pokémon fortune telling book, and uses the opportunity to check out her real type. Elsewhere Jessie finds the same book, and decides to see what James' actually is. Neither Misty nor James' real type is revealed though, as the episode ends before they can state it.

'''Pidgey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ポッポ ''Poppo'') is a {{2t|Normal|Flying}}-type Pokémon.

Pidgey evolves into {{p|Pidgeotto}} at Level 18, then into {{p|Pidgeot}} at Level 36.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Pidgey resembles a small, plump-bodied bird. It is a brown color, with a lighter colored throat and belly. The tips of its wings share this cream color. Both its feet and beak are a pinkish-gray color. Its plumage is fairly non-descript, particularly compared to its evolutions Pidgeotto and Pidgeot. It has black markings around its eyes and a small crest of brown and cream feathers above its eyes. It resembles other small {{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon such as {{P|Starly}}, {{P|Taillow}}, and {{P|Spearow}}. However due to the fact that (with the exception of Spearow) these Pokémon tend to be unique to a region, it is likely that they are a result of [[wp:convergent evolution|convergent evolution]].

===Gender differences===
None.
===Special abilities===
Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction, and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. Because of this, it is extremely easy to train to deliver messages.

==Behavior==
Pidgey are very common and can be seen in a variety of environments. It is a docile Pokémon, and generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them. Pidgey’s small size permits it to easily hide in long grass, where it is typically found foraging for small insects. It is known to flush out potential prey from long grass by flapping its wings rapidly. This maneuver also serves to protect Pidgey from enemies. If disturbed, a Pidgey is capable of sending a blinding cloud of dust into the air, permitting it to make its escape. This evasive technique can also be applied to battles. While Pidgey generally do not like to fight, they have been known to strike with surprising fierceness when they are cornered. While Pidgey make ideal targets for young trainers, due to their temperaments, it is not unheard of for novice trainers to be seriously injured by a panicked Pidgey.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Pidgey typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees. They usually live alongside {{p|Rattata}}. Pidgey also are found on the roofs of tall builings in big cities.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Pidgey mainly eat {{P|Weedle}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, and other small insects.

=In the anime=
[[Image:Orville.jpg|thumb|right|[[Orville]], a Pidgey from ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]'']]
Pidgey first appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''. {{Ash}} tried capturing it, but failed because {{AP|Pikachu}} would not obey him.

{{an|Casey}} has a Pidgey in her first appearance, ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''.

Many Pidgey were featured in ''[[EP164|Carrying On]]'' as mail-Pidgey, owned by Malachi and his grandfather.

[[Wilbur]], guardian of [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]], helped to teach a Pidgey named [[Orville]] how to fly in ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]''.

[[Prof. Oak]] captured a Pidgey just before ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]''. He used it to get rid of [[Team Rocket]].

Team Rocket mistook a Pidgey for a {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[AG177|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

=In the manga=
[[Professor Oak]] had a Pidgey in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Pidgey makes a couple of cameos in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter; in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] and in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'' when a frozen one is pictured by [[Bill]] in his explanation about how to stop a [[Flying (type)|flying]] Pokémon. Also, the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone's]] tour guide is an automated robotic Pidgey.

= Trivia =
* In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games as well as [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], it is the most common land Pokémon available, the second most common being {{p|Rattata}}.
* Pidgey was originally going to be named "Pidge".
* {{Ash}} attempted to capture one in the [[EP001|first episode]] of the [[anime]]. However, he failed. He would [[EP003|later]] capture its [[Ash's Pidgeot|evolved form]].
* In the Generation I games Pidgey was seen as weak by many because of its low stats and disability to learn many good flying attacks. In those games, a {{P|Spearow}} was a better option.

== Origin ==
It shares some similarities with pigeons, and there have been some references to Pidgey Mail, alluding to [[wp:homing pigeon|homing pigeons]].

=== Name origin ===
Pidgey's name could be a corruption of ''[[wp:pigeon|pigeon]]'' or a combination of that with the word ''[[wp:Budgerigar|budgie]]''. Its Japanese name appears to be the onomatopoeia of the sound a pigeon makes, ポッポッポ ''poppoppo''.

== In other languages ==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Taubsi - "Taube" is the german word for pigeon.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Roucool - ''Roucoule'' is for a pigeon's coo. ''Cool'' means the same as in English.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 구구 ''Kugu''
* Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 波波 ''Po Po'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name, Poppo.

'''Pidgey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ポッポ ''Poppo'') is a {{2t|Normal|Flying}}-type Pokémon.

Pidgey evolves into {{p|Pidgeotto}} at Level 18, then into {{p|Pidgeot}} at Level 36.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Pidgey resembles a small, plump-bodied bird. It is a brown color, with a lighter colored throat and belly. The tips of its wings share this cream color. Both its feet and beak are a pinkish-gray color. Its plumage is fairly non-descript, particularly compared to its evolutions Pidgeotto and Pidgeot. It has black markings around its eyes and a small crest of brown and cream feathers above its eyes. It resembles other small {{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon such as {{P|Starly}}, {{P|Taillow}}, and {{P|Spearow}}. However due to the fact that (with the exception of Spearow) these Pokémon tend to be unique to a region, it is likely that they are a result of [[wp:convergent evolution|convergent evolution]].

===Gender differences===
None.
===Special abilities===
Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction, and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. Because of this, it is extremely easy to train to deliver messages.

==Behavior==
Pidgey are very common and can be seen in a variety of environments. It is a docile Pokémon, and generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them. Pidgey’s small size permits it to easily hide in long grass, where it is typically found foraging for small insects. It is known to flush out potential prey from long grass by flapping its wings rapidly. This maneuver also serves to protect Pidgey from enemies. If disturbed, a Pidgey is capable of sending a blinding cloud of dust into the air, permitting it to make its escape. This evasive technique can also be applied to battles. While Pidgey generally do not like to fight, they have been known to strike with surprising fierceness when they are cornered. While Pidgey make ideal targets for young trainers, due to their temperaments, it is not unheard of for novice trainers to be seriously injured by a panicked Pidgey.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Pidgey typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees. They usually live alongside {{p|Rattata}}. Pidgey also are found on the roofs of tall builings in big cities.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Pidgey mainly eat {{P|Weedle}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, and other small insects.

=In the anime=
[[Image:Orville.jpg|thumb|right|[[Orville]], a Pidgey from ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]'']]
Pidgey first appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''. {{Ash}} tried capturing it, but failed because [{{AP|Pikachu}} would not obey him.

{{an|Casey}} has a Pidgey in her first appearance, ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''.

Many Pidgey were featured in ''[[EP164|Carrying On]]'' as mail-Pidgey, owned by Malachi and his grandfather.

[[Wilbur]], guardian of [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]], helped to teach a Pidgey named [[Orville]] how to fly in ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]''.

[[Prof. Oak]] captured a Pidgey just before ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]''. He used it to get rid of [[Team Rocket]].

Team Rocket mistook a Pidgey for a {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[AG177|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

=In the manga=
[[Professor Oak]] had a Pidgey in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Pidgey makes a couple of cameos in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter; in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] and in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'' when a frozen one is pictured by [[Bill]] in his explanation about how to stop a [[Flying (type)|flying]] Pokémon. Also, the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone's]] tour guide is an automated robotic Pidgey.

= Trivia =
* In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games as well as [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], it is the most common land Pokémon available, the second most common being {{p|Rattata}}.
* Pidgey was originally going to be named "Pidge".
* {{Ash}} attempted to capture one in the [[EP001|first episode]] of the [[anime]]. However, he failed. He would [[EP003|later]] capture its [[Ash's Pidgeot|evolved form]].
* In the Generation I games Pidgey was seen as weak by many because of its low stats and disability to learn many good flying attacks. In those games, a {{P|Spearow}} was a better option.

== Origin ==
It shares some similarities with pigeons, and there have been some references to Pidgey Mail, alluding to [[wp:homing pigeon|homing pigeons]].

=== Name origin ===
Pidgey's name could be a corruption of ''[[wp:pigeon|pigeon]]'' or a combination of that with the word ''[[wp:Budgerigar|budgie]]''. Its Japanese name appears to be the onomatopoeia of the sound a pigeon makes, ポッポッポ ''poppoppo''.

== In other languages ==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Taubsi - "Taube" is the german word for pigeon.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Roucool - ''Roucoule'' is for a pigeon's coo. ''Cool'' means the same as in English.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 구구 ''Kugu''
* Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 波波 ''Po Po'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name, Poppo.

'''Pidgey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ポッポ ''Poppo'') is a {{2t|Normal|Flying}}-type Pokémon.

Pidgey evolves into {{p|Pidgeotto}} at Level 18, then into {{p|Pidgeot}} at Level 36.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Pidgey resembles a small, plump-bodied bird. It is a brown color, with a lighter colored throat and belly. The tips of its wings share this cream color. Both its feet and beak are a pinkish-gray color. Its plumage is fairly non-descript, particularly compared to its evolutions Pidgeotto and Pidgeot. It has black markings around its eyes and a small crest of brown and cream feathers above its eyes. It resembles other small {{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon such as {{P|Starly}}, {{P|Taillow}}, and {{P|Spearow}}. However due to the fact that (with the exception of Spearow) these Pokémon tend to be unique to a region, it is likely that they are a result of [[wp:convergent evolution|convergent evolution]].

===Gender differences===
None.
===Special abilities===
Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction, and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. Because of this, it is extremely easy to train to deliver messages.

==Behavior==
Pidgey are very common and can be seen in a variety of environments. It is a docile Pokémon, and generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them. Pidgey’s small size permits it to easily hide in long grass, where it is typically found foraging for small insects. It is known to flush out potential prey from long grass by flapping its wings rapidly. This maneuver also serves to protect Pidgey from enemies. If disturbed, a Pidgey is capable of sending a blinding cloud of dust into the air, permitting it to make its escape. This evasive technique can also be applied to battles. While Pidgey generally do not like to fight, they have been known to strike with surprising fierceness when they are cornered. While Pidgey make ideal targets for young trainers, due to their temperaments, it is not unheard of for novice trainers to be seriously injured by a panicked Pidgey.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Pidgey typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees. They usually live alongside {{p|Rattata}}. Pidgey also are found on the roofs of tall builings in big cities.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Pidgey mainly eat {{P|Weedle}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, and other small insects.

=In the anime=
[[Image:Orville.jpg|thumb|right|[[Orville]], a Pidgey from ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]'']]
Pidgey first appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''. {{Ash}} tried capturing it, but failed because [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] would not obey him.

{{an|Casey}} has a Pidgey in her first appearance, ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''.

Many Pidgey were featured in ''[[EP164|Carrying On]]'' as mail-Pidgey, owned by Malachi and his grandfather.

[[Wilbur]], guardian of [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]], helped to teach a Pidgey named [[Orville]] how to fly in ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]''.

[[Prof. Oak]] captured a Pidgey just before ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]''. He used it to get rid of [[Team Rocket]].

Team Rocket mistook a Pidgey for a {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[AG177|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

=In the manga=
[[Professor Oak]] had a Pidgey in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Pidgey makes a couple of cameos in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter; in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] and in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'' when a frozen one is pictured by [[Bill]] in his explanation about how to stop a [[Flying (type)|flying]] Pokémon. Also, the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone's]] tour guide is an automated robotic Pidgey.

= Trivia =
* In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games as well as [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], it is the most common land Pokémon available, the second most common being {{p|Rattata}}.
* Pidgey was originally going to be named "Pidge".
* {{Ash}} attempted to capture one in the [[EP001|first episode]] of the [[anime]]. However, he failed. He would [[EP003|later]] capture its [[Ash's Pidgeot|evolved form]].
* In the Generation I games Pidgey was seen as weak by many because of its low stats and disability to learn many good flying attacks. In those games, a {{P|Spearow}} was a better option.

== Origin ==
It shares some similarities with pigeons, and there have been some references to Pidgey Mail, alluding to [[wp:homing pigeon|homing pigeons]].

=== Name origin ===
Pidgey's name could be a corruption of ''[[wp:pigeon|pigeon]]'' or a combination of that with the word ''[[wp:Budgerigar|budgie]]''. Its Japanese name appears to be the onomatopoeia of the sound a pigeon makes, ポッポッポ ''poppoppo''.

== In other languages ==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Taubsi - "Taube" is the german word for pigeon.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Roucool - ''Roucoule'' is for a pigeon's coo. ''Cool'' means the same as in English.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 구구 ''Kugu''
* Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 波波 ''Po Po'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name, Poppo.

'''Pokémon Ruby''' and '''Pokémon Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタールビー・サファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Ruby and Sapphire'') were the first [[Generation III]] games to be released — 21 November, 2002 in Japan, 17 March, 2003 in the US and 25 July, 2003 in Europe. It is based in the new [[Hoenn]] region and as usual contains [[:Category:Generation III Pokémon|new Pokémon]] and items. New features included [[Pokémon Contests]] as well as a Battle Tower. A sister game, [[Pokémon Emerald]] was released later, on 16 September, 2004, in Japan, featuring some gameplay advances and a plot alteration, and a whole new area called the [[Battle Frontier]].

==New Features==
* Another 135 Pokémon are now available.
* New type combinations including Water/Grass and Ghost/Dark.
* [[Pokémon Contests]] that allow Pokémon to compete in five different areas.
* A completely new region - [[Hoenn]].
* A separate "icon" for each Pokémon.
* [[Double battle]]s which had two Pokémon go against two others.
* Many new techniques.
* Another new list of TMs, with some staying from Generations I and II.
* [[Weather effects]] on the field in certain areas.
* A new weather condition - [[Weather conditions#Hail|hail]].
* Pokémon now have [[ability|abilities]], which give them certain bonuses.
* A brand new set of [[Berries]].
* A mixing records function, which can be performed with 2 to 4 players.
* [[Running shoes]] were introduced.

==Glitches==
Most Pokémon games had some [[glitch|glitches]], as did these. There is the infamous [[berry glitch]], which made most time based events, such as berry growing, impossible after the game had been owned for a year, or played for over a 100 hours. This glitch is able to be corrected, however, by downloading the berry patch from either the [[Pokémon Colosseum]] bonus disc, or [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], or [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]. In this game, it is also possible to catch several glitch Pokémon, such as [[Ten question marks|???????]] or [[Bad egg]].

==Storyline==
{{spoilers}}
The trainer first starts when, as always, being asked by one of the professors (in this case [[Professor Birch|Professor Birch]]) what gender he or she is, and what her/his name is. After that, the trainer will be in a moving van. This moving van comes from [[Johto]], where the family first lived, but they moved after the trainer's father, [[Norman]] became leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. After the van is left, he or she will enter a house (the house of the trainer, to be exact) and there will be {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. After some dialogue with the mother of the trainer, the trainer will have to meet Professor Birch, but he appears to be out in the field, so he must be found.

Upon encountering him, he will be chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}, and he will ask the trainer to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his backpack, lying on the ground. Here, the trainer has to choose if he/she wants a {{p|Treecko}}, a {{p|Torchic}}, or a {{p|Mudkip}}. While they are balanced, most players prefer either Treecko, for its ability to learn the move {{m|Absorb}} early, or Torchic, because it beats the early Pokémon relatively well. Furthermore, the usual story of the Pokémon game is followed, and the trainer gets some [[Poké Ball]]s, and sets out to become a Pokémon Master (and of course, he or she's ''gotta catch 'em all'').

Before the trainer leaves, however, he or she obtains the running shoes from his/her mother. The trainer then continues through Hoenn, defeating [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]] in places, depending on the version. Using {{m|Rock Smash}}, the trainer finishes the [[Rusturf Tunnel]], he or she rescues the {{p|Wailmer}} in [[Lilycove City]], and saves the world from either {{p|Groudon}} (in Ruby) or {{p|Kyogre}} (in Sapphire), and does many more things, too countless to name.

Finally, the [[Elite Four]] is defeated, and just when [[Steven Stone]] crowns the trainer as champion, the rival interrupts, not realizing that the battle already has ended.

After that, the rival finds out the battle is already over, and Professor Birch comes in. He congratulates the trainer, and takes a look at the trainer's Pokédex. Then, the trainer is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits begin.

Players who have already seen the credits a lot of times usually choose to turn the GBA off and then back on, as the game was automatically saved before being registered, simply skipping the credits. The credits feature the trainer biking home, similar to the small movie when the game is turned on. The credits also feature pictures of the Pokémon the trainer has captured. If the trainer hasn't captured enough Pokémon to fill the entire credits, the Pokémon are repeated. After the credits, the trainer is waiting in his room upstairs, ready to catch more Pokémon, including the now unlocked Rayquaza and Latios/Latias depending on the version.

Professor Oak's Laboratory

2008-02-22T10:48:15Z

[[image:Oaks_Lab_-_Full_view.jpg|frame|Entrance of Oak's Laboratory]]‎
The famous '''Professor Oak's Laboratory''', also called the '''Oak Pokémon Research Laboratory''', is a [[Pokémon]] lab located in [[Pallet Town]], in the [[region]] of [[Kanto]], that is directed by [[Professor Oak|Professor Samuel Oak]] and his assistant [[Tracey Sketchit]]. It's functions are to research the world of Pokémon, unravel the mysteries of these creatures and study their characteristics and behaviour in a natural environment. Another important job is to take care of the Pokémon that belong to [[Pallet Town]]'s [[Pokémon Trainer|trainers]].

The lab has many different enviroments for the correct development of all types of Pokémon. They are areas of grass, sand, rocks and lakes to promote good interaction between the different classes of creatures. Also, the laboratory has the technology to keep normal and injured Pokémon healthy, and to make the biggest investigations in the country.

=In the games=
Professor Oak's Laboratory appears in the [[Pokémon games|games]] Pokémon [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Red and Green|Green]], [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed and LeafGreen]]. It is where [[Professor Oak]] gives the player one of three [[starter Pokémon]]: a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, a {{p|Charmander}} or a {{p|Squirtle}}. The player also receives the [[Pokédex]] at the laboratory as well.

The lab is a small building near to the player's house that has been slightly modified in every game.

* [[Pokémon Red and Blue]]: The sign says "''Here is the Institute of Dr. Okido.''", in the translated version of the original Japanese game, "''Oak Pokémon Research Lab''" in the English language versions. Inside are three of Professor Oak's Aides, two men and one woman, a couple of shelves full with books, a table with 3 [[Poké Ball]]s, a computer, two blank encyclopedias ([[Pokédex]]), and two tips for the player.
* [[Pokémon Yellow]]: Same as Red and Blue except that is only one Poké Ball on the table and next to it is a trash can.
* [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]: Same as Red and Blue, but it also has two plants in the enter, a ''mysterious machine'', books on the floor, and two regular machines in the corner and a window.

</gallery>

Professor Oak's Laboratory also appears in [[Pokémon Snap]], shown as the background of the main menu of the game. [[Todd Snap]] reports back here regularly to show his photos to Proffesor Oak. Assumably, the professor keeps information like the [[Pokémon Report]], [[Pokémon Album]], and all information on [[Pokémon sign]]s in his laboratory. It appears the same way in this game that it does in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

=In the anime=
The laboratory debuted in the first episode, [[EP001|''Pokémon, I Choose You!'']], when [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] received his [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]. Since then, it has been in a couple of normal episodes, mostly in the start and ending of a [[region]] adventure, but also in [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and in the [[Pokémon movie|movies]]. The building stands out in [[Pallet Town]] for its wind turbine, the three windows of the inner balcony and for the four windows of the second floor. Every time Ash captures a Pokémon when he has six already [[party|with him]], the new Pokémon is automatically transported here. Ash also has a habit of leaving all of his Pokémon besides Pikachu here each time he leaves for a new [[region]], starting with [[Hoenn]].

==Structure==
===Infrastructure===
[[image:Oaks_Lab_-_Lobby.jpg‎|frame|Ash and friends talking in the Lobby]]
[[image:Oak's_Lab_-_Poke_ball_store.jpg‎|frame|[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] find the storage room.]]
The "house" is composed by two floors and a inner balcony in the second one. Inside the entrance door is the hall with several doors and to the left are a chest of drawers and the upstairs. Here is a list of the rooms, all of them are in the first floor with the exception of the last one.

* The living room is a space to talk, eat, relax and presumably study. Above a pink, sometimes green, carpet are two couches and a table. To a side are a computer and the first of many stands of books. This is where most scenes in Oak's Laboratory take place.

* There are two scientific rooms with a lot of machines shown in [[H004|''Showdown at the Oak Corral'']] when the professor and [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] were in search of [[Team Rocket]].

* The [[Poké Ball]] Storage Room has the Pokémon of every Trainer born in [[Pallet Town]]. This treasure of hundreds of Pokémon, and the fact that the only security system it has is a sliding door, has been the reason for the attempted robbery by [[Team Rocket]].

* Also in the first floor is the library, that is composed of two rooms. One is a study room with a huge stand of books in the wall and a pair of windows. The other in the back is a storage room, full with all kind of books like the old Oak's sketchbook with the sketch he made of Celebi and Pikachu sleeping during [[Pokémon 4Ever]]. The full view of the library is only shown in this movie.

[[Image:Oaks_Lab_-_1Floor_-_Biblio.jpg|frame|left|The study room of Professor Oak]]
{{-}}
* Upstairs is the research floor. Here are all the technological pieces, for that reason this a fundamental room, the brain of the laboratory. To analyze the whole room lets indicate the point of start of the view, the downstairs to the first floor. To the right are several machines for Pokémon testing and a table with chemicals. Nearby is a blue chair. In front of it are the status screen, which shows the health and power of a Pokémon, and Professor Oak's computer, where he records his research. This computer doubles as a videophone, which he uses to communicate with others professors or Trainers. Aside the computer is the [[Poké Ball]] Transfer for the transportation of Pokémon to their Trainers in a [[Pokémon Center]].

:Stairs lead up to an inner balcony, which has a door and the three large windows that we can see from the outside. Down are a stand of books, a desk with his lamp, a brown seat (the professor sleep in this couch in [[Spell of the Unown]]) and a drawing board with parallelogram to make sketches. Next a couple of machines connected to a glass container full of water, possibly to study aquatic Pokémon. And finally is the downstairs again. In the middle of the floor is a huge spotlight for a better observation.

[[Image:Oaks_Lab_-_Research_Room.png|frame|center|450px|A full view of the research floor]]

===Superstructure===
[[image:Oaks_Lab_-_Corral.jpg|frame|A small view to the Oak Corral]]
The Oak Corral is a natural environment for the right development of Pokémon's life. It's divided in regions according the type; some areas are exclusives for rock Pokémon, some with desert scenery are for sand and fire ones, they are regions of grass and several lakes. Sometimes the Pokémon that live in the same or in a near territory have big fights (like Grass ones vs another class of Grass or against Water ones), for that reason are some guards to keep an eye on them, like [[Ash's Bulbasaur]].

=In the Pokémon Special manga=
[[image:Oaks_Lab_-_Manga.jpg‎|frame|Red in Oak's laboratory]]
In his search to be the best Trainer, {{Special|Red}} goes to see [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', but the laboratory was deserted and with the door open, so he entered, that's the first view of the lab in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]''. Is a one-floor building with his own sign, inside are machines, tables, stands of books, the glass container full of water and, of course, a [[Poké Ball]] store with a peculiar characteristic, distinctive of the manga version of [[Pokémon]], we can see the miniature creatures from the outside.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]]/[[TAJ Productions]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]].

Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue]], [[Red (game)|Red]]. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, "[[Gotta Catch 'em All]]!" As for his first name, some note that "Ash" has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]
Ash's goal, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon! I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the irreverent [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.

However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] by luck, knew nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.

Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions.

Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam.

[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]
Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary, he later slowed his pace which allowed him (as well as the writers of the anime) to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference|Johto League Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole [[Ash's hat|his hat]] in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas!]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Aipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG178|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.

In nearly every episode of the anime, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{TP|Ash|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honour of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as Brock, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG177|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.

[[Image:Ashmaturity.png|thumb|right|150px|Ash demonstrates his maturity in the earlier seasons.]]
Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world. He is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead.

He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left to Johto.
 

===Family===
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and [[Silver (anime)|Silver]]. In [[Pokémon Live!]], Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.

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

==Trivia==
*In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be almost 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode; although, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent.
*Ash has caught 50  different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his. The original tagline for the dub was "[[Gotta Catch 'Em All!]]", but Ash has only caught 10.14% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003.
*Ash has caught or received 63 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.
*Other than {{TP|Ash|Krabby}} and his {{TP|Ash|Tauros}}, Ash has never caught a Pokémon when his [[party]] had six members.
*Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.
*So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by [[Gary Oak|Gary]] a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], which, ironically, were both "filler seasons" before the start of even-numbered generations.
*[[EP241|At one time]], Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].
*Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).
*In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured [[Ash's Sceptile|Treecko]], while the other two were obtained by [[May's Blaziken|May]] and [[Brock's Marshtomp|Brock]]. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond & Pearl]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a [[Ash's Turtwig|Turtwig]] and [[Ash's Chimchar|Chimchar]], two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
*Ash has captured a form of each {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that players can encounter early in different games: {{TP|Ash|Pidgeotto}}, {{TP|Ash|Noctowl}}, {{TP|Ash|Taillow}}, and {{p|Starly}}.
*In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.
*With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.
*So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.
*Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.
*A pattern has developed among Ash's {{t|Grass}} starters: [[Ash's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]] never evolved, [[Ash's Chikorita|Chikorita]] evolved once and [[Ash's Treecko|Treecko]] evolved twice. Many believe [[Ash's Turtwig]] won't evolve so the pattern continues.
*Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.
*During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.
*Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in [[Diamond & Pearl]].
*The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were five badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.
*The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.
*The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.
*Ash is the only [[Ash's friends|main character]] that has caught a [[alternate coloration|shiny Pokémon]], which is his {{TP|Ash|Noctowl}}.
*Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].
*Ash had two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with [[May's Blaziken|Torchic]] and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
*The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.
*In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.
*Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.
[[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Third time's the charm.]]
*Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the [[Advanced Generation series]], and [[DP062]] was the third, in the [[Diamond & Pearl series]].
*Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{TP|Ash|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{TP|Ash|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{TP|Ash|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{TP|Ash|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{TP|Ash|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{TP|Ash|Noctowl}}), and [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{TP|Ash|Butterfree}}). Another coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon.
*Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often.
*All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - Paul previously owned Chimchar, Anthony currently owns Primeape, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into Ambipom.
*All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Sceptile}}) have evidence that they are male.
*Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, [[Ash's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]] with {{m|Tickle}}, {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, [[Ash's Raticate|Raticate]] with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, [[Ash's Staravia|Staravia]] with {{m|Gust}}, [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]] with {{m|Tackle}}, and [[Ash's Larvitar|Larvitar]] with {{m|Harden}}.
*Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.
*Ash has three turtle-like, Basic-Stage Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Turtwig. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.
*Both of Ash's primate-based Pokémon that evolved did not evolve under his ownership: [[Ash's Primeape|Primeape]] evolved from {{p|Mankey}} in the wild, and [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]] evolved into {{p|Ambipom}} under Dawn's ownership. Chimchar has not yet evolved. Interestingly, both of these Pokémon have also annoyed Ash by stealing his {{TP|Ash|hat}}.
*Despite having 2 [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have one on their team ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). If Ash's Soothe Bells are intended for a different purpose, it has yet to be revealed.

==In the manga==
{{mangastub}}
The manga version of Ash Ketchum is based on the anime version, but there are many differences after both versions took different directions. For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]]/[[TAJ Productions]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]].

Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue]], [[Red (game)|Red]]. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, "[[Gotta Catch 'em All]]!" As for his first name, some note that "Ash" has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]
Ash's goal, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon! I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the irreverent [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.

However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] by luck, knew nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.

Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions.

Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam.

[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]
Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary, he later slowed his pace which allowed him (as well as the writers of the anime) to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference|Johto League Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole [[Ash's hat|his hat]] in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas!]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Aipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG178|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.

In nearly every episode of the anime, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{TP|Ash|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honour of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as Brock, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG177|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.

[[Image:Ashmaturity.png|thumb|right|150px|Ash demonstrates his maturity in the earlier seasons.]]
Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world. He is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead.

He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left to Johto.
 

===Family===
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and [[Silver (anime)|Silver]]. In [[Pokémon Live!]], Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.

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

==Trivia==
*In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. If time continued at this rate, he would be almost 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode.
*Ash has caught 50  different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his. The original tagline for the dub was "[[Gotta Catch 'Em All!]]", but Ash has only caught 10.14% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003.
*Ash has caught or received 63 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.
*Other than {{TP|Ash|Krabby}} and his {{TP|Ash|Tauros}}, Ash has never caught a Pokémon when his [[party]] had six members.
*Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.
*So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by [[Gary Oak|Gary]] a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], which, ironically, were both "filler seasons" before the start of even-numbered generations.
*[[EP241|At one time]], Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].
*Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).
*In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured [[Ash's Sceptile|Treecko]], while the other two were obtained by [[May's Blaziken|May]] and [[Brock's Marshtomp|Brock]]. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond & Pearl]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a [[Ash's Turtwig|Turtwig]] and [[Ash's Chimchar|Chimchar]], two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
*Ash has captured a form of each {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that players can encounter early in different games: {{TP|Ash|Pidgeotto}}, {{TP|Ash|Noctowl}}, {{TP|Ash|Taillow}}, and {{p|Starly}}.
*In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.
*With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.
*So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.
*Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.
*A pattern has developed among Ash's {{t|Grass}} starters: [[Ash's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]] never evolved, [[Ash's Chikorita|Chikorita]] evolved once and [[Ash's Treecko|Treecko]] evolved twice. Many believe [[Ash's Turtwig]] won't evolve so the pattern continues.
*Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.
*During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.
*Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in [[Diamond & Pearl]].
*The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were five badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.
*The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.
*The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.
*Ash is the only [[Ash's friends|main character]] that has caught a [[alternate coloration|shiny Pokémon]], which is his {{TP|Ash|Noctowl}}.
*Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].
*Ash had two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with [[May's Blaziken|Torchic]] and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
*The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.
*In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.
*Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.
[[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Third time's the charm.]]
*Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the [[Advanced Generation series]], and [[DP062]] was the third, in the [[Diamond & Pearl series]].
*Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{TP|Ash|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{TP|Ash|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{TP|Ash|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{TP|Ash|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{TP|Ash|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{TP|Ash|Noctowl}}), and [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{TP|Ash|Butterfree}}). Another coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon.
*Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often.
*All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - Paul previously owned Chimchar, Anthony currently owns Primeape, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into Ambipom.
*All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Sceptile}}) have evidence that they are male.
*Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, [[Ash's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]] with {{m|Tickle}}, {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, [[Ash's Raticate|Raticate]] with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, [[Ash's Staravia|Staravia]] with {{m|Gust}}, [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]] with {{m|Tackle}}, and [[Ash's Larvitar|Larvitar]] with {{m|Harden}}.
*Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.
*Ash has three turtle-like, Basic-Stage Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Turtwig. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.
*Both of Ash's primate-based Pokémon that evolved did not evolve under his ownership: [[Ash's Primeape|Primeape]] evolved from {{p|Mankey}} in the wild, and [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]] evolved into {{p|Ambipom}} under Dawn's ownership. Chimchar has not yet evolved. Interestingly, both of these Pokémon have also annoyed Ash by stealing his {{TP|Ash|hat}}.
*Despite having 2 [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have one on their team ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). If Ash's Soothe Bells are intended for a different purpose, it has yet to be revealed.

==In the manga==
{{mangastub}}
The manga version of Ash Ketchum is based on the anime version, but there are many differences after both versions took different directions. For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is one half of of the [[Team Rocket]] duo that follows around [[Ash Ketchum]] and friends in the Pokémon [[anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always fail. Her Japanese voice actresses are 林原めぐみ ''[[Megumi Hayashibara]]'' ([[EP002]]-[[AG084]], [[AG093]]-present) and ''Akiko Hiramatsu'' ([[AG085]]-[[AG092]]). Her English voice actresses are [[Rachael Lillis]] ([[4Kids]] dub) and [[Michelle Knotz]] ([[Pokémon USA]]/[[TAJ Productions]] dub). She is voiced by [[Isabel Cristina de Sá]] in the Brazilian Portuguese dub and by ''Diana Pérez'' in Latin-American Spanish dub.

=In the anime=
==Character==
[[image:currentjessie.jpg|left|thumb|220px|Jessie]]Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the Andes Mountains to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, Miyamoto disappeared, and Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food.

When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a Chansey she had befriended there. It is assumed that she then travelled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a trainer's school, met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in Sunny Town, where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike (nicknamed "Chainer Jess").

 
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}}. However, they quickly made up and the rest is history.

Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly.

She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. Another member, [[Wendy]], held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.

In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with her friend [[Nurse Joy's Chansey|Chansey]] from the Pokémon nurse school; Chansey had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}.

Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie has become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently makes it to the battle round, but usually loses there. However, in [[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]], she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Dawn's Aipom|Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in [[DP061]], she finally wins an official contest with her Dustox in at [[Solaceon City]]. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.

While Jessie's role in the Pokémon anime has not yet ended, in [[Toshihiro Ono|Toshihiro Ono's]] manga, ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'', she ended up married to James and with child.

The belief, hope, or theory that Jessie and James will become a romantic couple in the Pokémon anime is [[RocketShipping]].

Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like [[Pokémon]], owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.

For unknown reasons, she, James and Meowth mostly use [[Transportation in Pokémon|hot air balloons]] instead of faster ways of transportation.

When she enters a {{pkmn|Super Contest}}, she disguises herself as '''Jessalina''' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''). Strangely enough -in the Latin American dub- she enters Super Contests under the name Jessiebella, which is similar to James former fiancee [[Jessiebelle]].

==Pokémon==
[[Image:Rocketpaper1280.jpg|230px|thumb|right|Jessie and James surrounded by most of the Pokémon they ever owned, up to the latest Japanese episode.]]
So far, Jessie has captured at least one new Pokémon in every region but [[Sinnoh]].

They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the main character on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].

In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed [[Theme Deck]] based on [[Jessie (TCG)|Jessie]].

=Name origin=
Jessie's English name is taken from [[wp:Jesse James|Jesse James]], an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''[[wp:Miyamoto Musashi|Miyamoto Musashi]]'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''[[wp:Sasaki Kojirō|Sasaki Kojirō]]'', after whom James got his Japanese name.

She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school and the female antagonist of the ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1472 Time Bokan]'' anime series.

'''Ditto's Mysterious Mansion''' (Japanese: '''メタモンとものまねむすめ''' ''{{tt|Metamon|Ditto}} and The Mimic Girl'') is episode 37 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 9, 1997 and in the United States on October 26, 1998.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =
Ash and the group are continuing their journey when it begins to rain. Whilst looking for shelter, they stumble across an old house in the middle of nowhere. Believing it to be deserted, they go inside and are confronted by a {{p|Ditto}} that has taken the form of Ash's Pikachu. However, its face still looks like a Ditto's, which leads to Brock thinking it is a new kind of Pikachu. Ash tries to capture it, but a girl dressed as Ash appears and reveals that it is her Ditto. Ash is still unconvinced of it's usefulness in battle, so the girl - who introduces herself as [[Duplica]] - challenges him to a battle. Ash chooses {{p|Bulbasaur}} and tries to attack using {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Duplica's Ditto transforms and wins using Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}} attack.

Later, Duplica explains that she wants to be a Ditto Master and a star, but she cannot because her Ditto is unable to mirror the other Pokemon's faces. Whenever it transforms it still has the face a of a Ditto, much to the disappointment of her audiences. Then Team Rocket appear and try to steal Ditto, in the hope that they can get it to transform into {{p|Dratini}} and present it to [[Giovanni]] as the legendary Pokemon. Using Koffing's Smokescreen they are able to escape with Ditto.

Once they are away from the house, Jessie and James try to test Ditto's power by having it turn into a {{p|Meowth}}, and are angered when it is unable to change its face. Eventually they are able to threaten it into transforming correctly.

Then Ash, Brock, Misty and Duplica appear dressed in Team Rocket uniforms and say the motto, much to the irritation of the real Team Rocket. They demand Ditto back, and are surprised when they see two identical Meowths. Team Rocket try to trick them by giving them the real Meowth and escaping in their balloon with Ditto. But Duplica says she can tell that this isn't her Ditto, even though it looks identical to the other Meowth. She throws Meowth at the balloon, causing Team Rocket to drop Ditto. Duplica tells it to transform into a cannon and fire Pikachu at the balloon. After being hit by Pikachu's Thundershock, the balloon bursts and Team Rocket are blasted off again.

Now that Ditto can transform perfectly, Duplica reopens her theater for performances. She thanks Ash and his friends and they leave, with Ash hoping to catch his own Ditto someday.

The episode ends with Team Rocket attempting to put a Dratini suit onto Meowth, who scratches them.

Bulbapedia talk:Project Anime/Archive 1

2008-01-02T16:40:19Z

Farfetch'd:

I'd be happy to help out with Project Anime. I'm not very good at writing synopses, but I'll be able to create the character lists for many episodes from Master Quest through Advanced Battle, as well as some Orange Islands episodes and a few Johto Journies episodes. I can also put in errors and dub edits for the episodes. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 23:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm also interested in participating in this project. Specifically, I was wondering if we could add for each episode a "Notes" and "References to past canon" section, similar to the format that the Battlestar Wiki [http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/33 episode guides] have. Other than that, I'm more than willing to provide the usual episode summaries and screenshots. --[[User:Swifty|Swifty]] 13:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd be okay, since I can predict when this episode is going to air in the U.S, and I might be right, when I see the episode air, I'll put the actual date in. --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)
:Please avoid all predictions or speculative information. Just because you "might be" right doesn't mean you are, unfortunately, and until we are certain of the real date it's best to have no date at all. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

What am I gonna do? --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]

:If you want to know what you can do to help this project, I can whip up a to-do list in a while. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 23:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Darn it! --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)

I'd like to help as well. I've already done a few synopsis sections in the original series. --[[User:Farfetch'd|Dux]]
16:16, 2 January 2008 (GMT)

== Synopsis ==
Okay, after the lack of reformatting on one tipped me off, I'm noting that there are several articles which had the same summary as can be found on Serebii.net. However, they are apparently being credited to Altomare Latias. Do we have permission to use this work? (Even if we do, they need editing - they came up because the @#$@#()% things don't use the é in Pokémon...) --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 01:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to start adding synopses and any other information I can fill in; I've just started watching the series recently, and am only up to Episode 6, ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', for which I just finished the synopsis. -- [[User:DrGaellon|DrGaellon]] ([[User talk:DrGaellon|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/DrGaellon|contribs]]) 19:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

== Quotes ==
I just had an idea... maybe a Quotes section should be added to episode articles, split into subsection for English and Japanese? Sort of like what Pokemopolis has for their episode guides, except with quotes that are significant for any reason, not just for dodginess. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 16:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

== Pokemon anime section ==

I would also like to help with this. I could do a Pokemon featured in this episode and battles section. You know like a list of Pokemon used in the episode and the moves and pokemon used in various battles. Unsigned comment by {{u|Slyraccoon007}}
:We already have a list of the Pokémon in the episode. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 21:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Well I guess I could do the battles and maybe some synopsises. By slyraccoon007 Could you send me a to do list aswell.

== Timeline of events notice ==

See the template I added to [[EP001#Major events|episode 1]]. Yes, this is partially to give the users more exposure to that article, since I noticed only a few articles link to it when it's relevant to pretty much all anime articles. Anyway, thoughts or comments on the template, before I add it to more articles and find that everyone hates it or something? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 19:01, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm, I definitely don't hate it, but do you think it's worth the time to put it in on all the articles? The important events for that particular episode are listed there, where they should be. Is it necessary to see all the other events too? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 19:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
::Well, the idea is that if someone wants the information of the major events of many different episodes, but doesn't know about the timeline, that's the section they'll be looking in for all episode articles. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

==Shortcut Templates==
I created a couple of templates to make typing synopses easier:
*<nowiki>{{AP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> creates a link to Ash's Pokémon, but only shows the Pokémon's name: <nowiki>[[Ash's Pokémon|Pokémon]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{BrockP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for Brock
*<nowiki>{{MistyP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for Misty
*<nowiki>{{TP|Trainer|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for any trainer: <nowiki>[[Trainer's Pokémon|Pokémon]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{MTR}}</nowiki> is a shortcut to <nowiki>[[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]]</nowiki>: {{MTR}}
I generally prefer to subst: shortcut templates like these; that way, the final code saved in the wiki is unambiguous.

== I think this Project needs to include more articles. ==

Well, there is no project that has goal on the anime characters, (like [[Ash Ketchum]]) so I think this project should also help on the articles about the pokémon characters, and their pokémon's pages (like [[Ash's Charizard]]), that would make this project so much more useful. I can't see any reason why it should only focus on the episode articles. After all, it's Project Anime, not Project Episodes. What do you guys think about that idea? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 15:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

== Anime Definitions ==
Should we add anime definitions of [[Pokémon]] and moves? I mean the [[Pokédex]] has identifyed almost every Pokémon and in some epiosdes Brock or someone else identifyed moves. --[[User:Theryguy512|Ryguy]].

== I got an idea for the character pages. ==

Attack used should also include the first use of the move. I will make a fake profile for "Darklord's Rayquaza" just to give you an example:

===Moves used===

* {{m|Fly}}
First used: [[epNE|The hell of heaven]] in that episode Darklord noticed that he didn't need a helicopter and could just use Rayquaza to fly.

*{{m|Hyper Beam}}
First used: [[epNE|Strong training is a good one]] It trained for 2 episodes, in this one he get's it when he beats the class.

*{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}
First used: [[epNE|Wow, that's fast]] Rayquaza noticed it can go so fast, in that episode the Rayquaza went extremely fast after Felk's Fearow.

===Back to the discussion===
So what do you guys think? Would that work? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 22:49, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

==How to help==

Can I help too?--[[User:Dawnfan47|Dawnfan47]] 20:16, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[[Image:Spr 3e 370.gif]]

I like to help too. I've already wrote the synopsis for some episodes. [[Image:Ani448MS.gif]][[User:Jmath|'''Jmath''']][[Image:Ani447MS.gif]][[User talk:Jmath|'''Talk''']][[Image:Ani448MS.gif]] 20:27, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

== Broadcast date ==

Don't you think that placing the broadcasted date in the first paragraph is kind of redundant because in the infobox of each episode, it says it right under the picture [[user:Moldy orange|Moldy orange]]

Farfetch'd:

I'd be happy to help out with Project Anime. I'm not very good at writing synopses, but I'll be able to create the character lists for many episodes from Master Quest through Advanced Battle, as well as some Orange Islands episodes and a few Johto Journies episodes. I can also put in errors and dub edits for the episodes. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 23:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm also interested in participating in this project. Specifically, I was wondering if we could add for each episode a "Notes" and "References to past canon" section, similar to the format that the Battlestar Wiki [http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/33 episode guides] have. Other than that, I'm more than willing to provide the usual episode summaries and screenshots. --[[User:Swifty|Swifty]] 13:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd be okay, since I can predict when this episode is going to air in the U.S, and I might be right, when I see the episode air, I'll put the actual date in. --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)
:Please avoid all predictions or speculative information. Just because you "might be" right doesn't mean you are, unfortunately, and until we are certain of the real date it's best to have no date at all. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to help as well. I've already done a few synopsis sections in the original series. --[[User:Farfetch'd|Farfetch'd]]
16:16, 2 January 2008 (GMT)

== Synopsis ==
Okay, after the lack of reformatting on one tipped me off, I'm noting that there are several articles which had the same summary as can be found on Serebii.net. However, they are apparently being credited to Altomare Latias. Do we have permission to use this work? (Even if we do, they need editing - they came up because the @#$@#()% things don't use the é in Pokémon...) --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 01:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to start adding synopses and any other information I can fill in; I've just started watching the series recently, and am only up to Episode 6, ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', for which I just finished the synopsis. -- [[User:DrGaellon|DrGaellon]] ([[User talk:DrGaellon|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/DrGaellon|contribs]]) 19:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

== Quotes ==
I just had an idea... maybe a Quotes section should be added to episode articles, split into subsection for English and Japanese? Sort of like what Pokemopolis has for their episode guides, except with quotes that are significant for any reason, not just for dodginess. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 16:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

== Timeline of events notice ==

'''The Battling Eevee Brothers''' (Japanese: '''イーブイ４きょうだい''' ''4 {{tt|Eievui|Eevee}} Brothers'') is episode 40 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 16, 1998 and in the United States on October 27, 1998.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =
The group are traveling through a forest when they discover an [[Eevee]] which has seemingly been abandoned. They take it with them into nearby [[Stone Town]], where the Eevee's collar says it is from. They find the house on the name tag, where there is a large evolution party going on. Many trainers are shown evolving their Pokemon using various stones, including a [[Ninetales]] and an [[Exeggutor]]. They discover that Eevee belongs to a boy called Mikey, who hid his Eevee so that his brothers would not make him evolve it. The three brothers (who own a [[Jolteon]], a [[Vaporeon]], and a [[Flareon]] respectively) tell Mikey that the only way for Eevee to win was if it evolved. They also offer stones to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve Pikachu and Volpix, but they both refuse.

Mikey is unsure what to do, and is about to tell his brothers that he want his Eevee to stay how it is when Team Rocket appear and steal all of the Pokemon, stones and food that were at the party. They escape, but [[Misty's Horsea]] leaves a trail of sludge for the trainers to follow. After cornering Team Rocket, they free their Pokemon and use them to attack Jessie and James. However, Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon are eventually beaten in battle with Team Rocket. Mikey then steps up and uses his Eevee to help Ash and Pikachu defeat Team Rocket.

Mikey then tells his brothers that he doesn't want Eevee to evolve. After seeing how strong Eevee was, and how Mikey was so attached to it, they agree, saying "Now we really will be the four Eevee brothers!"

'''The Battling Eevee Brothers''' (Japanese: '''イーブイ４きょうだい''' ''4 {{tt|Eievui|Eevee}} Brothers'') is episode 40 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 16, 1998 and in the United States on October 27, 1998.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =
The group are traveling through a forest when they discover an [[Eevee]] which has seemingly been abandoned. They take it with them into nearby [[Stone Town]], where the Eevee's collar says it is from. They find the house on the name tag, where there is a large evolution party going on. Many trainers are shown evolving their Pokemon using various stones, including a [[Ninetales]] and an [[Exeggutor]]. They discover that Eevee belongs to a boy called Mike, who hid his Eevee so that his brothers would not make him evolve it. The three brothers (who own a [[Jolteon]], a [[Vaporeon]], and a [[Flareon]] respectively) tell Mike that the only way for Eevee to win was if it evolved. They also offer stones to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve Pikachu and Volpix, but they both refuse.

Mike is unsure what to do, and is about to tell his brothers that he want his Eevee to stay how it is when Team Rocket appear and steal all of the Pokemon, stones and food that were at the party. They escape, but [[Misty's Horsea]] leaves a trail of sludge for the trainers to follow. After cornering Team Rocket, they free their Pokemon and use them to attack Jessie and James. However, Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon are eventually beaten in battle with Team Rocket. Mike then steps up and uses his Eevee to help Ash and Pikachu defeat Team Rocket.

Mike then tells his brothers that he doesn't want Eevee to evolve. After seeing how strong Eevee was, and how Mike was so attached to it, they agree, saying "Now we really will be the four Eevee brothers!"

'''Ditto's Mysterious Mansion''' (Japanese: '''メタモンとものまねむすめ''' ''{{tt|Metamon|Ditto}} and The Mimic Girl'') is episode 37 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 9, 1997 and in the United States on October 26, 1998.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =
Ash and the group are continuing their journey when it begins to rain. Whilst looking for shelter, they stumble across an old house in the middle of nowhere. Believing it to be deserted, they go inside and are confronted by a [[Ditto]] that has taken the form of Ash's Pikachu. However, its face still looks like a Ditto's, which leads to Brock thinking it is a new kind of Pikachu. Ash tries to capture it, but a girl dressed as Ash appears and reveals that it is her Ditto. Ash is still unconvinced of it's usefulness in battle, so the girl - who introduces herself as [[Duplica]] - challenges him to a battle. Ash chooses [[Bulbasaur]] and tries to attack using [[Razor Leaf]], but Duplica's Ditto transforms and wins using Bulbasaur's [[Vine Whip]] attack.

Later, Duplica explains that she wants to be a Ditto Master and a star, but she cannot because her Ditto is unable to mirror the other Pokemon's faces. Whenever it transforms it still has the face a of a Ditto, much to the disappointment of her audiences. Then Team Rocket appear and try to steal Ditto, in the hope that they can get it to transform into [[Dratini]] and present it to [[Giovanni]] as the legendary Pokemon. Using Koffing's Smokescreen they are able to escape with Ditto.

Once they are away from the house, Jessie and James try to test Ditto's power by having it turn into a [[Meowth]], and are angered when it is unable to change its face. Eventually they are able to threaten it into transforming correctly.

Then Ash, Brock, Misty and Duplica appear dressed in Team Rocket uniforms and say the motto, much to the irritation of the real Team Rocket. They demand Ditto back, and are surprised when they see two identical Meowths. Team Rocket try to trick them by giving them the real Meowth and escaping in their balloon with Ditto. But Duplica says she can tell that this isn't her Ditto, even though it looks identical to the other Meowth. She throws Meowth at the balloon, causing Team Rocket to drop Ditto. Duplica tells it to transform into a cannon and fire Pikachu at the balloon. After being hit by Pikachu's Thundershock, the balloon bursts and Team Rocket are blasted off again.

Now that Ditto can transform perfectly, Duplica reopens her theater for performances. She thanks Ash and his friends and they leave, with Ash hoping to catch his own Ditto someday.

The episode ends with Team Rocket attempting to put a Dratini suit onto Meowth, who scratches them.
