== We Have a newest Contender for smallest pokemon town in the pokemon world ==
Its cabo poco and i think it has 4 people [[User:Riley65655|Riley65655]] ([[User talk:Riley65655|talk]]) 16:48, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
:I'm not so sure about that. If we don't include the player and Nemona since they live at the Academy, we still have the player's mother, two NPCs on the way to Nemona's house, Nemona's parents, plus the maids/cleaners in their house may or may not possibly live there. If we assume that they do live in the house, that would be 9 people in the town, and with Nemona and the player included, would be 11. --[[User:FrostyZippy|FrostyZippy]] ([[User talk:FrostyZippy|talk]]) 19:00, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
::Even if we exclude the maids, the population would be 5, and that's the same as postwick--[[User:FrostyZippy|FrostyZippy]] ([[User talk:FrostyZippy|talk]]) 21:31, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
:::I have edited the demographics section to prevent Postwick's section from being changed based on unknown information. Feel free to fix it if any auxiliary information arises. --[[User:FrostyZippy|FrostyZippy]] ([[User talk:FrostyZippy|talk]]) 03:41, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
::::Why would we not count the maids, do they disappear/move at some point? Population counts are literally just "number of NPCs that are always in location". [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 04:33, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
:::::Welp, that's the information I was looking for! The demographics section is now currently fixed. --[[User:FrostyZippy|FrostyZippy]] ([[User talk:FrostyZippy|talk]]) 04:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

'''Tyranitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バンギラス''' ''Bangiras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Dark}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pupitar}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Larvitar}}.

Tyranitar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tyranitar''' using the [[Tyranitarite]].

It appears to be distantly related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Thorns}}.

==Biology==
Tyranitar is a large, bipedal, dinosaurian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a green, armor-like hide covering its body. It has two pairs of pointed teeth: one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Several spikes of varying size protrude from the back of its head, neck, and shoulders. Both sides of its chest, the center of its back, and its knees have two triangular holes. There is a gray, diamond-shaped patch of scales covering its belly, and a smaller one on its back. It has three claws on its feet and hands. A ring of spikes surrounds the tip of its tail.

Mega Tyranitar has more gaps in its armor than its normal form, with four new triangular holes along the sides of its neck and one on its throat. The four holes on its chest are now larger with the top two containing red ovals. While the spikes along the back of its neck grow shorter, the ones on its head elongate to form prominent ridges along its brows. The center spike on its head becomes a long, upright horn. Its chest plate expands, curving over its shoulders and along its back to form three long, irregular spikes on each side of its body. The scales on Mega Tyranitar's belly have now become red instead of blue and seethe with energy, enabling it to emanate more power.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Tyranitar</ref> It gains two sharp spikes on its knees, as well as more prominent leg joints. Its tail lengthens, with the three spikes surrounding its tip growing upward and outward. Its back had split open because of the overwhelming power from Mega Evolution.

Tyranitar is a powerful Pokémon with an insolent nature, uncaring of others. It is extremely strong, and its thick, rocky hide gives it good resistance to all forms of attack. Because of this, it is always looking for a battle and will not flinch at anything, though it ignores opponents that it thinks are not worth its time. Tryanitar is so extremely powerful, a single fist can affect anything it hits drastically, If enraged, Tyranitar sets off outstanding earthquakes that can completely change the entire landscape, destroying houses and mountains, often forcing cartographers to draw up new maps. It lives in nests made from demolished {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. As a Mega Tyranitar, its instincts have only become more destructive, to the point where it may not even be able to hear its Trainer's orders. In the [[Galar]] [[region]], it has a fierce rivalry with {{p|Duraludon}}, which it shares its habitat with, often battling each other in the mountains.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/duraludon/ Duraludon | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> {{p|Iron Thorns}} is believed to be a relative of Tyranitar from one billion years in the future.

==Trivia==
[[File:Magazine Tyranitar.png|thumb|150px|Monster design by Ken Sugimori, published in April 1997<ref name=MicroDesign/>]]
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Tyranitar.
* Tyranitar is the only {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
* Tyranitar shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Donphan}}. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Tyranitar is tied with Mega {{p|Diancie}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and it also has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
** Mega Tyranitar has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all Dark-type Pokémon.
* Tyranitar's design heavily resembles a monster design illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]] for Volume 14 of MicroDesign Publishing's ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, published on April 1997. According to Sugimori, the monster design was meant to be an original creation unrelated to Pokémon.<ref name=MicroDesign>''Bimonthly Game Review'' magazine, Vol. 14 (April 1997). ''MicroDesign Publishing''. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160308190849/http://www.hairyticksofdune.net/dropbox/sugimori.html transcript with English translations]; Plague von Karma's [https://imgur.com/FFLW01B scan with English translations] and [https://plaguevonkarmabeta.weebly.com/blog/microgroup-game-review-vol14-sugimori-retranslated translator notes])</ref>

===Origin===


While Tyranitar's design may have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' genre; its upright posture may allude to how most ''kaiju'' are humanoid in shape, due to the need to fit a person inside the suit. Mega Tyranitar's back splitting open could be based on an insect emerging from its cocoon.

Another influence it may have is with the {{wp|Armadillo girdled lizard}}, a desert-dwelling lizard mainly distinguished by its especially firm scales; or certain {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} dinosaurs.

Additionally, Tyranitar appears to be most closely to {{wp|Bemular}}, although it still does pull from other kaijus too, most seen in Tyranitar's relationship with {{p|Duraludon}}.

====Name origin====
Tyranitar may be derived from ''tyrant'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' (derived from the same root) and {{wp|Tarasque}}.

Bangiras may be a combination of 野蛮 ''yaban'' (savage) or 蛮 ''ban'' (barbarian) and 嫌い ''kirai'' (hated).

'''Tyranitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バンギラス''' ''Bangiras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Dark}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pupitar}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Larvitar}}.

Tyranitar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tyranitar''' using the [[Tyranitarite]].

It appears to be distantly related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Thorns}}.

==Biology==
Tyranitar is a large, bipedal, dinosaurian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a green, armor-like hide covering its body. It has two pairs of pointed teeth: one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Several spikes of varying size protrude from the back of its head, neck, and shoulders. Both sides of its chest, the center of its back, and its knees have two triangular holes. There is a gray, diamond-shaped patch of scales covering its belly, and a smaller one on its back. It has three claws on its feet and hands. A ring of spikes surrounds the tip of its tail.

Mega Tyranitar has more gaps in its armor than its normal form, with four new triangular holes along the sides of its neck and one on its throat. The four holes on its chest are now larger with the top two containing red ovals. While the spikes along the back of its neck grow shorter, the ones on its head elongate to form prominent ridges along its brows. The center spike on its head becomes a long, upright horn. Its chest plate expands, curving over its shoulders and along its back to form three long, irregular spikes on each side of its body. The scales on Mega Tyranitar's belly have now become red instead of blue and seethe with energy, enabling it to emanate more power.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Tyranitar</ref> It gains two sharp spikes on its knees, as well as more prominent leg joints. Its tail lengthens, with the three spikes surrounding its tip growing upward and outward. Its back had split open because of the overwhelming power from Mega Evolution.

Tyranitar is a powerful Pokémon with an insolent nature, uncaring of others. It is extremely strong, and its thick, rocky hide gives it good resistance to all forms of attack. Because of this, it is always looking for a battle and will not flinch at anything, though it ignores opponents that it thinks are not worth its time. Tryanitar is so extremely powerful, a single fist can affect anything it hits drastically, If enraged, Tyranitar sets off outstanding earthquakes that can completely change the entire landscape, destroying houses and mountains, often forcing cartographers to draw up new maps. It lives in nests made from demolished {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. As a Mega Tyranitar, its instincts have only become more destructive, to the point where it may not even be able to hear its Trainer's orders. In the [[Galar]] [[region]], it has a fierce rivalry with {{p|Duraludon}}, which it shares its habitat with, often battling each other in the mountains.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/duraludon/ Duraludon | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> {{p|Iron Thorns}} is believed to be a relative of Tyranitar from one billion years in the future.

* Tyranitar's design heavily resembles a monster design illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]] for Volume 14 of MicroDesign Publishing's ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, published on April 1997. According to Sugimori, the monster design was meant to be an original creation unrelated to Pokémon.<ref name=MicroDesign>''Bimonthly Game Review'' magazine, Vol. 14 (April 1997). ''MicroDesign Publishing''. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160308190849/http://www.hairyticksofdune.net/dropbox/sugimori.html transcript with English translations]; Plague von Karma's [https://imgur.com/FFLW01B scan with English translations] and [https://plaguevonkarmabeta.weebly.com/blog/microgroup-game-review-vol14-sugimori-retranslated translator notes])</ref>

===Origin===


While Tyranitar's design may have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' genre; its upright posture may allude to how most ''kaiju'' are humanoid in shape, due to the need to fit a person inside the suit. Mega Tyranitar's back splitting open could be based on an insect emerging from its cocoon.

Another influence it may have is with the {{wp|Armadillo girdled lizard}}, a desert-dwelling lizard mainly distinguished by its especially firm scales; or certain {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} dinosaurs.

Additionally, Tyranitar appears to be most closely to {{wp|Bemular}}, although it still does pull from other kaijus too, most seen in Tyranitar's relationship with {{p|Duralodon}}.

====Name origin====
Tyranitar may be derived from ''tyrant'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' (derived from the same root) and {{wp|Tarasque}}.

Bangiras may be a combination of 野蛮 ''yaban'' (savage) or 蛮 ''ban'' (barbarian) and 嫌い ''kirai'' (hated).

'''Tyranitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バンギラス''' ''Bangiras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Dark}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pupitar}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Larvitar}}.

Tyranitar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tyranitar''' using the [[Tyranitarite]].

It appears to be distantly related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Thorns}}.

==Biology==
Tyranitar is a large, bipedal, dinosaurian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a green, armor-like hide covering its body. It has two pairs of pointed teeth: one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Several spikes of varying size protrude from the back of its head, neck, and shoulders. Both sides of its chest, the center of its back, and its knees have two triangular holes. There is a gray, diamond-shaped patch of scales covering its belly, and a smaller one on its back. It has three claws on its feet and hands. A ring of spikes surrounds the tip of its tail.

Mega Tyranitar has more gaps in its armor than its normal form, with four new triangular holes along the sides of its neck and one on its throat. The four holes on its chest are now larger with the top two containing red ovals. While the spikes along the back of its neck grow shorter, the ones on its head elongate to form prominent ridges along its brows. The center spike on its head becomes a long, upright horn. Its chest plate expands, curving over its shoulders and along its back to form three long, irregular spikes on each side of its body. The scales on Mega Tyranitar's belly have now become red instead of blue and seethe with energy, enabling it to emanate more power.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Tyranitar</ref> It gains two sharp spikes on its knees, as well as more prominent leg joints. Its tail lengthens, with the three spikes surrounding its tip growing upward and outward. Its back had split open because of the overwhelming power from Mega Evolution.

Tyranitar is a powerful Pokémon with an insolent nature, uncaring of others. It is extremely strong, and its thick, rocky hide gives it good resistance to all forms of attack. Because of this, it is always looking for a battle and will not flinch at anything, though it ignores opponents that it thinks are not worth its time. Tryanitar is so extremely powerful, a single fist can affect anything it hits drastically, If enraged, Tyranitar sets off outstanding earthquakes that can completely change the entire landscape, destroying houses and mountains, often forcing cartographers to draw up new maps. It lives in nests made from demolished {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. As a Mega Tyranitar, its instincts have only become more destructive, to the point where it may not even be able to hear its Trainer's orders. In the [[Galar]] [[region]], it has a fierce rivalry with {{p|Duraludon}}, which it shares its habitat with, often battling each other in the mountains.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/duraludon/ Duraludon | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> {{p|Iron Thorns}} is believed to be a relative of Tyranitar from one billion years in the future.

* Tyranitar's design heavily resembles a monster design illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]] for Volume 14 of MicroDesign Publishing's ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, published on April 1997. According to Sugimori, the monster design was meant to be an original creation unrelated to Pokémon.<ref name=MicroDesign>''Bimonthly Game Review'' magazine, Vol. 14 (April 1997). ''MicroDesign Publishing''.

===Origin===


While Tyranitar's design may have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' genre; its upright posture may allude to how most ''kaiju'' are humanoid in shape, due to the need to fit a person inside the suit. Mega Tyranitar's back splitting open could be based on an insect emerging from its cocoon.

Another influence it may have is with the {{wp|Armadillo girdled lizard}}, a desert-dwelling lizard mainly distinguished by its especially firm scales; or certain {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} dinosaurs.

Additionally, Tyranitar appears to be most closely to {{wp|Bemular}}, although it still does pull from other kaijus too, most seen in Tyranitar's relationship with {{p|Duralodon}}.

====Name origin====
Tyranitar may be derived from ''tyrant'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' (derived from the same root) and {{wp|Tarasque}}.

Bangiras may be a combination of 野蛮 ''yaban'' (savage) or 蛮 ''ban'' (barbarian) and 嫌い ''kirai'' (hated).
