'''Brianna''' (Japanese: '''ワカナ''' ''Wakana'') is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who appeared in the anime. Her English voice actress is [[Rhonda Krempa]] and her Japanese voice actress is 吉田真弓 ''Mayumi Yoshida''.

Brianna sees {{an|May}} as the person that Drew admires most and believes that she must defeat May to have a [[AdmirationShipping|chance with Drew]]. In ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]'', she went to the [[Wisteria Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}} to speak to May but decided to just send her a letter when May lost. However, she forgot to sign it and, as the letter came with a rose, May mistakenly thought that the letter was from Drew. May kept the letter until she met Brianna shortly before another Contest in ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]''. It was there that she discovered what the letter actually meant.

Brianna does not let the subject drop and, after they both get through the appeals, Brianna asks May how she feels about Drew, causing May to blush and stutter that she hasn't thought about it much. After the Contest, Drew assures Brianna that she is a good Coordinator and she faints in May's arms.

Brianna reappeared in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'', where she was seen watching the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] from her home. Her home is shown to have various pictures of her, Drew, and May.

* Brianna has the unevolved forms of Drew's Pokémon at the time apart from Roselia (who at this time had no evolutionary relatives). This would seem to emphasize the fact that she has a crush on Drew.

'''The Scuffle of Legends''' (Japanese: '''グラードンvsカイオーガ！（後編）''' ''Groudon vs. Kyogre! (Part 2)'') is the 98th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 372nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 14, 2004 and in the United States on October 22, 2005.

As Groudon and Kyogre prepare for battle, Pikachu and Archie are still possessed by the orbs.
{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
The episode opens with a recap of the previous episode’s events. After that, it’s back to the [[Team Magma]] vs [[Team Aqua]] confrontation from the last episode. We see the ocean beginning to get violent, and [[Shelly]] warns [[Archie]] that {{p|Kyogre}} is on the loose. Archie summons Kyogre with the [[Red Orb]]. Team Magma begins to protest, so Shelly orders Team Aqua to bring out their Pokémon to protect Archie. They send out their {{p|Walrein}}, and Team Magma sends out their {{p|Mightyena}}. As the Pokémon battle it out, Archie makes his escape in some kind of mini-helicopter. [[Tabitha]] advises [[Maxie]] that they have to stop Archie. Tabitha then barks an order to the still-disguised [[Lance]], who hurries off. Just then, [[Brock]], {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] arrive, stopping far enough away and behind some bushes so as not to be seen. They comment with surprise that both teams are present.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is cowering in fear on a rocky ledge at the shore. From his mini-copter, Archie holds up the orb and summons Kyogre, who appears amid a thunderstorm and a raging ocean, while Shelly and the rest of Team Aqua worries about what will happen. Lance, who is standing next to Maxie, removes his hood and calls up to Archie, warning him to stop before anything worse happens, but Archie ignores him. As Kyogre is wreaking havoc out on the water in response to Archie’s commands, Shelly tells the rest of Team Aqua to recall their Pokémon for their own safety. Tabitha tells Team Magma to do the same. Lance now informs Maxie that Kyogre and {{p|Groudon}} are about to fight, and explains the world-shaking consequences of such a conflict, as Archie laughs maniacally from his mini-chopper. Kyogre’s disturbance causes a tremor that makes the downed Magma helicopter to shift, throwing {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} around. The same tremor throws Lance and Maxie to the ground. Inside, Pikachu awakens, and its body is taken over by the orb again. It goes insane again, and one of its attacks causes a small hole that’s just big enough for it to leap through. It does so and runs off.

Brock and the others, meanwhile, are searching for Ash near the Magma chopper, when they meet up with Lance. They’re happy to see each other, and Lance removes his Magma disguise completely, as it’s no longer needed. They happen to be standing outside what apparently is the hole Pikachu made, and Ash hears them from inside. Ash tells them what happened with Pikachu. They notice something behind them, and Max exclaims that there’s a giant tsunami coming! Lance tells Ash to back away from the hole, and he then sends out his Dragonite, who uses its {{m|Dragon Claw}} to make the hole large enough for Ash to get out.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is still on the shore, cowering in fear at the storm. As they sit there, Team Aqua’s sub suddenly washes up on shore, nearly crushing them! Back at the helicopter, Ash is now free, so it’s time to find Pikachu. Ash thanks Lance, and they split up. Lance rides off on Dragonite to look from the air, and Ash & friends run off in another direction.

The scene then changes to Team Aqua. Shelly is worried about Archie, and she tells the rest of the team to leave because they’re all in danger. Flying in his mini-chopper above Kyogre, Archie is basking in his power. Riding {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, Lance approaches Archie and calls for him to stop. Archie responds by ordering Kyogre to attack. It fires a {{m|Hydro Pump}} at Lance and Dragonite, which Dragonite is able to dodge. Lance calls for his nearby Red Gyarados to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and Archie tells Kyogre to do the same. The beams collide, and it ends in a stalemate. Archie just laughs, proclaiming that the world is his now. Suddenly, the Red Orb he’s holding absorbs into his hand, in the same way the [[Blue Orb]] did with Pikachu! Archie screams, then laughs insanely as the orb’s throbbing markings appear on his chest.

Back on land, Team Rocket discuss their situation and examine Team Aqua’s sub. When they confirm through an on board computer that Groudon is in the large metal box at the top, Meowth launches into a storybook-style fantasy about what they’d do with Groudon and Kyogre. Suddenly, a lightning bolt out of nowhere shocks Team Rocket—it’s the possessed Pikachu! Jessie comments on how strange it looks. Ash and friends run towards Pikachu, but it leaps off the ledge it was on and lands on top of the metal box containing Groudon. Maxie and Tabitha arrive at the sub in time to see Pikachu channel the lightning from the storm into itself and amplify its power. James whips out a bazooka and aims it at Pikachu, but it quickly shocks them and sends them blasting off. Pikachu is still calling on the lightning, and everyone else can do nothing but watch. Then, the biggest lightning bolt yet comes crashing down towards Pikachu and the box, sending enough of a shock through the containment system to awaken Groudon! Archie and Kyogre watch intently as the lightning creates an explosion and Ash screams out for Pikachu. The volcano on the island erupts as Groudon’s {{a|Drought}} [[ability]] begins to take effect, bringing an end to the storm. Groudon then comes into full view, and Pikachu lands on its head. Ash and friends are happy that it’s still alive. Max points out that the tsunami is still coming, though. Groudon has things under control though, as it powers up and launches a {{m|SolarBeam}} at the giant wave, causing it to evaporate. On land, members of both teams comment on how truly powerful Groudon and Kyogre are. Apparently, neither side had realized it would come to this. Still on Dragonite, Lance notices Pikachu on Groudon’s head, and lands next to Ash & co. Lance warns them of the danger and says they should make a run for it. Ash says he won’t leave Pikachu, and his friends agree to stay as well. They also decide that since Pikachu has apparently sided with Groudon, they will too.

Out on the water, Kyogre fires a Hydro Pump at Groudon, and Max exclaims that the attack would do major damage because of Groudon’s {{type2|Ground}}. Groudon is safe though, as Pikachu deflects the attack with a super-powered {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The sun’s rays are beginning to energize Groudon now. Lance tells Ash to come with him, and tells Brock and the others to take his Red {{p|Gyarados}} and try to stop Archie. Just as Dragonite carries Ash and Lance out over the water, Kyogre pulls Groudon underwater. Ash screams out for Pikachu, but Lance says to wait. Sure enough, they both resurface. As Kyogre’s Hyper Beam collides with Groudon’s {{m|Mud Shot}}, Brock and May go into action, sending out {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}. Their Pokémon attack Archie’s mini-chopper with {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Silver Wind}} respectively, but only do minimal damage. Worse, Archie has now noticed their presence, so he sends Kyogre after them. Max calls for Gyarados to swim away. As they keep Kyogre occupied, Groudon fires a SolarBeam at it. Archie alerts Kyogre, who puts up another giant wave as a shield, but the SolarBeam bursts right through and scores a powerful hit on Kyogre, sending it flying back to land in the water again. Above, we see Archie’s body rejecting the orb, which was apparently caused when Kyogre got hit. The orb emerges from Archie’s body, and Archie faints and falls off his chopper, but Dragonite catches him. The same thing that happened to Archie is also now happening to Pikachu. It yells as the orb removes itself from its body. Pikachu faints as well and falls off Groudon’s head, landing in the water. Ash promptly leaps off Dragonite, diving in after Pikachu. Brock tells Gyarados to go down and save them. Ash catches Pikachu underwater, but Kyogre is approaching them!

The scene then changes to shore. Lance and Dragonite have landed with Archie. Lance, Dragonite, Tabitha and Maxie look on as Shelly worriedly tries to get Archie to wake up. He slowly comes around, but seems to have no memory of what happened while he was possessed by the orb.

Presently, Ash and Pikachu emerge from the water, on Kyogre’s back! Gyarados catches up to them, and Ash’s friends ask if he’s all right. Ash tells them that Kyogre had saved him, and then Pikachu wakes up. Ash and Pikachu have a happy reunion. Lance and Dragonite show up next to Ash, and Lance asks if he’d like a ride back to shore. Max then points out the two orbs, rising in the air and circling each other. They combine into one, and then dissipate. Groudon and Kyogre stare at each other briefly, and now that neither of them is linked to an orb, they retreat back to their respective lairs: Groudon into the volcano, and Kyogre to an ocean trench. Lance and the others discuss the day’s events, and Lance says that the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] will start a new world, as Ash wonders where they’ll go.

==Major events==
*[[Lance]] makes another appearance.
*[[Archie]] loses possession of the Orb.
*{{AP|Pikachu}} also loses possession of the Orb.
*{{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are free from the Orb and leave.

===Pokémon Trainer's Choice===
* Question: Trainers, which is the final evolution of {{p|Totodile}}?
* Choices: {{p|Scyther}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Gyarados}}
* Answer: Okay, trainers! If you chose Feraligatr, you were right!

===Errors===
* Even thought Drought is active, Groudon has to charge up its SolarBeam. This thought might be because of [[anime physics]].
* When Archie tells Kyogre to attack May, Max and Brock who are riding on Gyarados, Gyarados's mouth is fully opened. However, in the next shot the mouth is only half-opened.
* When Groudon starts wading through the water, its white spikes are colored with the same red as its skin.
* When the Red Orb was absorbed into Archie's body, in the next two scenes his eyes don't glow, while in the following scenes they do.
* Dragonite's feelers disappear when Lance frees Ash from Team Magma's helicopter.

'''Address Unown!''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎのくにのアンノーン！''' ''{{tt|Unknown|Unown}} of the Country of Mystery'') is the 263rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 29, 2002 and in the United States on September 13, 2003.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}
Whilst [[Ash]], [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] are continuing their journey towards the [[Johto League]] with their accompanied {{AP|Larvitar}}, Misty is accidentally hit on the head by an {{p|Unown}} that fell out of a distorted object in the sky. She temporarily reads Unown's mind and finds out that it was separated from its friends. Unown then comes down with a high fever which Ash, Brock and Misty try to cure. However, when [[Team Rocket]] tries to intervene, its defensive instinct causes it to teleport them into another dimension.

Ash, Brock and Misty then find themselves surrounded by strange green egg-shells, and {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]] end up being 10 times their usual size. After the surroundings constantly change from {{p|Slowking}} shells to {{p|Elekid}} heads, they eventually discover a black object stuck inside an egg which represents the bad memories inside Larvitar's mind, they all get sucked in to it and everything blacks out.

Ash then finds Larvitar suspended in mid air when suddenly black vines come out of the ground and trap Larvitar. An image of the villans who once captured Larvitar's egg then appears and start attacking Larvitar's mother. This seemed to be reason was Larvitar was so afraid of humans. But after a lot of encouragement from Ash, Larvitar eventually breaks free and everything returns to normal.

Unown is now cured and Larvitar is no-longer shy towards Brock and Misty, meaning that it had gained confidence to befriend more people.

== Major events ==
* Larvitar finally gets over its shyness towards Brock and Misty.

* {{p|Tyranitar}}

* {{p|Tyranitar}} (debut)

== Trivia ==
* This is the first episode of American season 6. However, the [[Master Quest]] title remains for the remaining eleven episodes of the [[Johto]] saga.
* The depiction of the Unown dimension is the same as in ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.
* The Latin American dub title is the same as the one given to the [[wp:Twilight Zone|Twilight Zone]] series and movies.
* The Brazilian Portuguese dub title is a reference to the eyecatch ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]''.
* The Unown that the gang care for in this episode is the 'G' form.
* This episode features a rare glimpse of Misty with her hair down. The other one is ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.
* This episode has a lot in common with the banned episode ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]'', in that the heroes enter another dimension, the Pokémon that enter with them become giant, and they ride them.
* An instrumental version of the [[PK01|Bulbaby]] is used as background music.

=== Errors ===
* In many dubs, dubbers mistook {{p|Unown}} for a misspelling of Un'''kn'''own.
* Ash claims they saw an Elekid, Electabuzz, Magby, and Slowking, however, this is wrong. They never saw an Electabuzz in the Unown dimension or the real world, but instead saw an Elekid and heard the Electabuzz song.

She temporarily reads Unown's mind and finds out that it was separated from its friends. Unown then comes down with a high fever which Ash, Brock and Misty try to cure. However, when [[Team Rocket]] tries to intervene, its defensive instinct causes it to teleport them into another dimension.

Ash, Brock and Misty then find themselves surrounded by strange green egg-shells, and {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{P|Togepi}} end up being 10 times their usual size. After the surroundings constantly change from {{p|Slowking}} shells to {{p|Elekid}} heads, they eventually discover a black object stuck inside an egg which represents the bad memories inside Larvitar's mind, they all get sucked in to it and everything blacks out.

Ash then finds Larvitar suspended in mid air when suddenly black vines come out of the ground and trap Larvitar. An image of the villans who once captured Larvitar's egg then appears and start attacking Larvitar's mother. This seemed to be reason was Larvitar was so afraid of humans. But after a lot of encouragement from Ash, Larvitar eventually breaks free and everything returns to normal.

Unown is now cured and Larvitar is no-longer shy towards Brock and Misty, meaning that it had gained confidence to befriend more people.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first episode of American season 6. However, the [[Master Quest]] title remains for the remaining eleven episodes of the [[Johto]] saga.
* The depiction of the Unown dimension is the same as in ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.
* The Latin American dub title is the same as the one given to the [[wp:Twilight Zone|Twilight Zone]] series and movies.
* The Brazilian Portuguese dub title is a reference to the eyecatch ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]''.
* The Unown that the gang care for in this episode is the 'G' form.
* This episode features a rare glimpse of Misty with her hair down. The other one is ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.
* This episode has a lot in common with the banned episode ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]'', in that the heroes enter another dimension, the Pokémon that enter with them become giant, and they ride them.
* An instrumental version of the [[PK01|Bulbaby]] is used as background music.

=== Errors ===
* In many dubs, dubbers mistook {{p|Unown}} for a misspelling of Un'''kn'''own.
* Ash claims they saw an Elekid, Electabuzz, Magby, and Slowking, however, this is wrong. They never saw an Electabuzz in the Unown dimension or the real world, but instead saw an Elekid and heard the Electabuzz song.

Silver Conference

2009-11-24T10:43:16Z

Firefly292: /* Trivia */

The '''Johto League Silver Conference Victory Tournament''', better known as simply the '''Silver Conference''' (Japanese: '''シロガネ大会''' ''Shirogane Conference'') is the [[Johto League]] general [[Pokémon League Conference|championship competition]].

The conference is held annually in {{jo|Silver Town}}, located at the base of [[Mt. Silver]]. Competing {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are housed in a giant [[Pokémon Center]] in the Athlete's Village. All Trainers have a page set up online with a list of their [[Pokémon]].

==Tradition==
===Opening ceremony===
The Silver Conference begins with the the passing of the ceremonial torch lit with {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire|Sacred Flame}}. The opening ceremony is so important to the conference that the competition could not be held without it.

====The legend====
According to legend, the site of the Silver Conference was once the setting for a great war. People fought hard and left the area a war-ravaged place. Both the land and the [[Pokémon]] in the area suffered from the humans' hostility and carelessness. Ho-Oh appeared and used its Sacred Flame to burn life back into the place. Ho-Oh returned things to normal, but one tree continued to burn, serving as a reminder of the event. The fire from that tree was taken and placed in a shrine on Mt. Silver.

==Competition==
===Rounds===
The Silver Conference competition is divided into three parts: pre-screening qualifying rounds, semi-finals, and the finals.

Before every match, a digital spinner randomly decides which Trainer will go first. The Pokémon used in the match must be decided before the match and entered into the computer system.

====Screening====
The competition begins with the Athlete's Greeting. Registered Trainers are screened at assigned courts. Most lower skilled Trainers are weeded out in three rounds of one-on-one {{pkmn|battle}}s. Trainers are judged based on their battling ability, so a Trainer may still be able to advance to the semi-finals even if he or she has one loss. The top 48 Trainers move on the preliminaries.

====Semi-finals====
A point system is employed in the semi-finals. The 48 Trainers are split into 16 groups of 3, and each group, known as a block, participates in a {{wp|round-robin tournament}} in a series of three-on-three matches. Three battlepoints are awarded for every win, one point for every draw, and no points for every loss. The 16 Trainers with the most battle points out of the Trainers in their blocks will move on to the finals. In the event of a tie, another round-robin is held.

====Final rounds====
After a day of no battling, the final battles are held in Silver Stadium with rotating {{t|grass}}, {{t|water}}, {{t|rock}}, and {{t|ice}} fields for each battle.

Each Trainer fights a sudden death [[full battle]]. After a Trainer's first three Pokémon are defeated, there is a short intermission. Losing Trainers are eliminated and winning Trainers continue on until a [[League Champion]] is determined.

===Trainers who have participated in the Silver Conference===
The following Trainers have competed in only the screening rounds of the Silver Conference:
* [[Salvador]] of [[Cherrygrove City]]

The following Trainers have competed in just the preliminary rounds of the Silver Conference:
* [[Vincent|Jackson]] of [[New Bark Town]] (Block H)
* [[Macey]] of [[Mahogany Town]] (Block H)

The following Trainers have competed in the final rounds of the Silver Conference:
* [[Ash Ketchum]] of [[Pallet Town]] (Best Eight)
* [[Gary Oak]] of [[Pallet Town]] (Best Sixteen)
* {{jo|Harrison}} of [[Littleroot Town]] (Best Four)

====Former participants====
* [[Paul]] of [[Veilstone City]]
* {{jo|Jimmy}} of [[New Bark Town]]
* {{jo|Marina}} of [[New Bark Town]]

===Silver Conference winning Trainers===
The following Trainers have won the Silver Conference, becoming League {{pkmn|Champion}}s:
* [[Jon Dickson]] of [[Sento Cherry Town]]

==Trivia==
* The competition is broadcast globally.
* If Pokémon are caught battling outside of the competition, their Trainers may be disqualified. Sparring, however, is allowed.
* On the eve of the competition, Gary notices that it is a {{wp|full moon}}. After Harrison loses, a {{wp|quarter moon}} is present. The time between the two is usually either 8 days (third quarter) or 22 days (first quarter), but only about 12 days are represented on screen.
* Like the {{wp|Olympic Games}}, there is a passing of the torch ceremony at the beginning, and the events are broadcasted worldwide.
** On a related note, the Silver Conference is notable in the sense that it is so far the only Main Regional Pokémon League to not use a Moltres Flame as it's torch (Instead, it used Ho-Oh's Flame)

* Max stated that he watched this competition in AG003.

Sumo Conference

2009-11-24T10:40:51Z

Firefly292: /* Trivia */

The '''Sumo Conference''' is an annual Pokémon Sumo tournament held annually in [[Rikishii Town]].

==History==
The prize is a [[King's Rock]] and a year's supply of [[Pokémon food]]. [[Pokémon]] entered in the competition must weigh {{tt|80kg|176.4 lbs}} or more. Only basic [[physical move]]s are allowed, and the goal is to eventually throw the opponent out of the sumo-ring. If the executive of the Sumo Conference (namely [[Shonosuke]]) is present and catches a law-breaking move that the referee didn't see, he will make a protest against the referee and reveal what law was broken. Then the referee will disqualify the law-breaking trainer.

When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} visited [[Rikishii Town]], the annual Pokémon Sumo Conference was taking place. Ash decided to enter the competition with his {{AP|Snorlax}}, and managed to win the competition by defeating former champion [[Raiden]].

==Competitors==

===Winner===
* {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Snorlax}}

===Runners-up===
* [[Raiden]] and his {{p|Feraligatr}}

===Other Competitors===
* Many unnamed trainers and their [[Pokémon]], including; {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Machamp}}

===Disqualified===
* [[Jessie]] and her {{p|Wobbuffet}} (posing as {{p|Miltank}})

==Trivia==
*There were many Pokémon that entered the competition despite being under the minimum weight qualifications. However it could be that Pokémon have varying weights in the anime unlike the games.

Whirl Cup

2009-11-24T10:40:15Z

Firefly292: /* Trainers who have participated in the final rounds */

[[Image:Whirlcupposter.JPG|thumb|right|250px|A poster for the Whirl Cup]]
The '''Whirl Cup''' (Japanese: '''うずまきカップ''' ''Whirlpool Cup'') is a tournament between {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon trainer]]s held once every three years. Trainers from all over the world come to the [[Whirl Islands]] in the [[Johto|Johto region]] to compete. All [[Pokémon]] used in Whirl Cup [[Pokémon battle|matches]] must be of the Water [[type]].

Trainers register for the Whirl Cup on [[Blue Point Isle]], but the competition itself is held on [[Red Rock Isle]].

==Tradition==
Since ancient times, the Whirl Islands have been home to many different Water Pokémon, and the fiery battles seen during the competition represent the trainers' love and appreciation for all the creatures of the sea.

All the islands in the Whirlpool Archipelago prepare months in advance for the Whirl Cup Competition. Celebrations are often held on each island. The Whirl Cup is probably the biggest attraction to the Whirl Islands. A spiral sea shell, either red or blue, is the symbol for the Whirl Cup.

===The legend===
It is said that long ago the '''Sea Heroes''' (Japanese: '''海の勇者'''; also, Water Pokémon Alpha Omega) were expert Water Pokémon trainers. They lived under the sea and understood the hearts of water Pokémon. In addition to earning a powerful {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Mystic Water}} pendant, the winning trainers of the Whirl Cup earn this same prestigious title.

The rituals associated with the competition are kept vital and alive and are taught by [[Maya]], the Sea Priestess, who wields the [[Sea Spirit|Great Sea Spirit Sapphire]], which supposedly enables communication between Water Pokémon and humans.

===Opening ceremony===
Maya begins the Whirl Cup Competition by evoking the Sea Spirit Union, which brings together the energy from all Water Pokémon.

===Closing ceremony===
After six days of battling, Maya presents a Mystic Water pendant to the winning trainer and declares him or her a new Sea Hero. The Whirl Cup Competition ends when Maya says the following words: "O, Great Sea Spirit and past Heroes of the Sea, continue to watch over the Whirl Cup Competition and safeguard the harmony of all humans and Pokémon alike."

==Competition==
The Whirl Cup is broken into two parts: the preliminary rounds and the World Cup Competition, also known as the final rounds.
===Preliminary rounds===
In place of a qualifier such as a collection of [[Badge|Gym Badges]], the preliminary rounds weed out weak trainers; only 64 trainers can progress to the actual Competition. In this way, the qualifying rounds are not considered part of the actual Whirl Cup Competition. The number of preliminary rounds depends on the number of total entering trainers, and take place in several different small stadiums, on a combination of land and water battlefields.
===Final rounds===
The final rounds are all held in the majestic [[Whirl Cup Colosseum]]. This part of the Whirl Cup is filled with six days of continuous battling.
====First round====
The sudden-death opening matches last for two days. Trainers choose one Pokémon each and the winner is decided when one opponent's Pokémon is unable to continue the fight.

====Second round====
The winners of the first round are shuffled and randomly paired for the second round.

In the second round, each trainer is allowed two Pokémon, and the first trainer to knock out both opposing Pokémon will continue to the next round.

====Third round====
With the competition down to only 16 trainers, the battles continue in a similar fashion as the second round. The victors move on to the final rounds.
====Semifinals====

====Finals====

==Participants==
===Trainers who have participated in only the preliminary rounds===
* [[Marcellus]]

===Trainers who have participated in the final rounds===
* [[Ash Ketchum]] (Top 16)
* {{jo|Christopher}}
* [[Misty]] (Top 8)
* {{OBP|Harrison|Whirl Cup}}
* [[Trinity]] (Top 4)

Wallace Cup

Firefly292: /* Known contestants */

[[Image:Aqua Ribbon.png|thumb|220px|The Aqua Ribbon]]
The '''Wallace Cup''' (Japanese: '''ミクリカップ''' ''Mikuri Cup'') is a special [[Pokémon Contest]] hosted and judged by former {{Ci|Sootopolis}} [[Gym Leader]] and current [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, the master {{pkmn|Coordinator}} [[Wallace]]. The event was introduced in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', while the actual contest took place in the episodes ''[[DP077|Staging A Heroes' Welcome!]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''.

The Wallace Cup is hosted at various locations through the world, and the most recent one was hosted at [[Lake Valor]] in [[Sinnoh]], with the prize being the Aqua [[Ribbon]] that counts towards ''any'' [[region]]'s [[Grand Festival]], not merely that of the region it is won in. For this reason, Coordinators migrated from all around the {{pkmn|nation}} to compete in it.

It was announced on [[Sinnoh Now]], where {{an|Dawn}} found out about it and became excited. Eventually, she, {{Ash}}, and [[Brock]] ran into Wallace himself, who was relaxing with his {{Tp|Wallace|Milotic}} in a lake; Ash was convinced to enter the Contest with {{AP|Buizel}}, which he used in the three rounds he competed in before losing.

{{an|May}} traveled all the way from [[Johto]] to compete in this Contest, but she lost to Dawn in the final round.

Pokémon Beauty Contest

2009-11-24T10:37:32Z

Firefly292:

{{samename|[[Pokémon Contest]] subcategory|Beauty Contest}}
The '''Pokémon Beauty Contest''' is a [[Pokémon breeding]] competition held in [[Bonitaville]]. [[Pokémon Breeder]]s enter their Pokémon, which are judged by their health and beauty. It was featured in the episode ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''.

[[Brock]] and [[Suzy]] entered this contest as partners, with their Pokémon of choice being {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. [[Zane]] also entered the competition with his {{p|Ninetales}}. [[Team Rocket]] entered the competition, but attempted to sabotage it with their usual antics, first by trying to take the spot of the first entrant, and afterwards by trying to steal all the Pokémon in the competition.

The winner was not announced, but the narrator of the anime closed the competition by saying Brock would always be the top breeder in our hearts.

Some fans consider this competition a forerunner of [[Pokémon Contest]]s. However, it focused entirely on aspects of breeding, rather than the flashy displays which distinguish contests from other types of competitions.

PokéRinger

2009-11-24T10:36:46Z

Firefly292: /* Trivia */

[[Image:Pokéringer DP.png|thumb|235px|right|{{AP|Staraptor}} and {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} competing for the ring]]
'''PokéRinger''' (Japanese: '''ポケリンガ''' ''PokéRinger'') is a competition featuring [[Pokémon]] that can fly. A hot air balloon is released containing a ring hanging from it. The Pokémon try to retrieve the ring before the others and deliver it to a target on the ground. On doing so, the word "GOAL!" would flash on the screen set up for the competition.

The competition was first featured in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'' where it was held in [[Crossgate Town]]. {{Ash}} and [[James]] competed with {{AP|Taillow|Swellow}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, respectively. Both made it to the finals, and during the match, Taillow evolved into {{p|Swellow}} and won. The prize for the contest was obtaining honorary citizenship of the town.

It was featured again in ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'' where it was held in [[Squallville]]. Ash and [[Paul]] participated with their {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}} and {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, respectively. James also entered with [[Jessie's Yanmega]] but lost in the very first round. Ash and Paul both made it to the finals, and during the match, Ash's Staravia evolved into {{p|Staraptor}} and won the tournament. The prize for the competition is a certificate granting honorary citizenship of the town and a lot of food.

'''Address Unown!''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎのくにのアンノーン！''' ''{{tt|Unknown|Unown}} of the Country of Mystery'') is the 263rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 29, 2002 and in the United States on September 13, 2003.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}
Whilst [[Ash]], [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] are continuing their journey towards the [[Johto League]] with their accompanied {{p|Larvitar}}, Misty is accidentally hit on the head by an {{p|Unown}} that fell out of a distorted object in the sky. She temporarily reads Unown's mind and finds out that it was separated from its friends. Unown then comes down with a high fever which Ash, Brock and misty try to cure. However, when [[Team Rocket]] tries to intervene, its defensive instinct causes it to teleport them into another dimension.

Ash, Brock and misty then find themselves surrounded by strange green egg-shells, and {{p|Pikachu}} and {{P|Togepi}} end up being 10 times their usual size. After the surroundings constantly change from {{p|Slowking}} shells to {{p|Elekid}} heads, they eventually discover a black object stuck inside an egg which represents the bad memories inside Larvitar's mind, they all get sucked in to it and everything blacks out.

Ash then finds Larvitar suspended in mid air when suddenly black vines come out of the ground and trap Larvitar. An image of the villans who once captured Larvitar's egg then appears and start attacking Larvitar's mother. This seemed to be reason was Larvitar was so afraid of humans. But after allot of encouragement from ash, Larvitar eventually breaks free and everything returns to normal.

Unown is now cured and Larvitar is no-longer shy towards Brock and Misty, meaning that it had gained confidence to befriend more people.

== Major events ==
* Larvitar finally gets over its shyness towards Brock and Misty.

* {{p|Tyranitar}}

== Characters ==

== Trivia ==
* This is the first episode of American season 6. However, the [[Master Quest]] title remains for the remaining eleven episodes of the [[Johto]] saga.
* The depiction of the Unown dimension is the same as in ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.
* The Latin American dub title is the same as the one given to the [[wp:Twilight Zone|Twilight Zone]] series and movies.
* The Brazilian Portuguese dub title is a reference to the eyecatch ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]''.
* The Unown that the gang care for in this episode is the 'G' form.
* This episode features a rare glimpse of Misty with her hair down. The other one is ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.
* This episode has a lot in common with the banned episode ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]'', in that the heroes enter another dimension, the Pokémon that enter with them become giant, and they ride them.
* An instrumental version of the [[PK01|Bulbaby]] is used as background music.

=== Errors ===
* In many dubs, dubbers mistook {{p|Unown}} for a misspelling of Un'''kn'''own.
* Ash claims they saw an Elekid, Electabuzz, Magby, and Slowking, however, this is wrong. They never saw an Electabuzz in the Unown dimension or the real world, but instead saw an Elekid and heard the Electabuzz song.

I'm a new user to Bulbapedia and am currently "tweaking" a bunch of Anime articles, and I might hopefully start writing some "Game Mechanic" articles from scratch.

Glitch

2009-11-23T20:10:32Z

Firefly292: /* References */

'''Glitches''' are anomalies in software programs, including video games. They can cause various problems ranging from the purely graphical to completely wiping entire chunks of saved data.

They are usually caused by problems with a game's code, or from a player doing things the programmers did not anticipate, therefore causing the game to react unexpectedly. Below is a list of glitches in the Pokémon video games.

==Major glitches==
[[image:Glitch City Map1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A variation of [[Glitch City]]]]
[[image:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A {{p|Mew}} being found in the wild]]
There are three glitches (the first two are only available in the Red, Blue and Yellow versions; the third one is available in the Gold/Silver and Emerald versions, and the [[Hall of Fame]] one is very minor) that do not ''necessarily'' always create glitched Pokémon, but are themselves glitches that cause events that would not normally happen in the gameplay.

===Generation I===
* '''[[Glitch City]]:''' A glitch location consisting of mess of random map tiles that changes depending on the location where the player enters Glitch City. <ref>http://www.trsrockin.com/glitchcity.html</ref>
* '''[[Mew glitch]]:''' Allowing players to capture any Pokémon (most especially {{p|Mew}}) without modification, and allowing players to catch most of the glitched Pokémon. <ref>http://www.trsrockin.com/mewtrick.html</ref>
* '''[[Missingno.]]:''' A way to encounter Pokémon over level 100 and [[Glitch Pokémon]]. <ref>http://www.trsrockin.com/missingno4.html</ref>

===[[Generation I|Generations I]] - {{gen|IV}}===
* '''[[Pokémon cloning]]:''' Variations of the Pokémon cloning trick exist in each [[Generation]] of the Pokémon games, each slightly different from one another. The most reliable version is in [[Generation II]]. This Pokémon cloning version allows players in the Gold/Silver versions to safely clone Pokémon, assuming they have at least somewhat decent timing.<ref>http://www.cheatsnetwork.com/cheats/2705.html</ref>
* '''[[Sprite glitch]]:''' Glitches that mess up sprites have occurred in all generations (mostly by [[cheating]]).

===Generation IV===
* '''[[Surf glitch]]:''' allows players to warp to places on the map where {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} lie. '''Note:''' This only works in some of the first Japanese versions to be released.<ref>http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070528172817AAWWH8x</ref>
* '''[[Tweaking]]:''' This causes the game to fail to load the map and makes it appear black. Some cases have led the {{player}} to places such as [[Newmoon Island]] or [[Flower Paradise]] if the player goes the right way.

== Minor glitches ==
==={{game|Red and Blue|s}}===
* '''[[Rare Candy cheat]]''': An in-game glitch which is the result of encountering a [[Missingno.]] or [['M]], giving the player over 100 of the player's 6th item (this is also known as the "Old Man Glitch").
* '''Hall of Fame Glitch:''' When Missingno. has been seen on the save file, the player's Hall Of Fame is badly corrupted with entirely different Pokémon (players can even see Mew in the Hall Of Fame, whether they've seen Mew or not) and very glitched characters and names.
* '''Man on roof of [[Cinnabar Gym]]''': If one does not have the key to the Cinnabar Gym, and {{m|surf}}s on the east coast and returns to land directly in front of the gym, a man will appear on the roof of the gym. A similar effect happens if the player walks into the [[Vermilion City]] Gym, walks directly left and then up so that they are facing the bottom-left trash can and press A to inspect it, or if the player is in the gatehouse to Cycling Road. One of the trainers in the gym will be misplaced and return to his usual spot once the text box disappears, and when in the gatehouse there may be a man standing on an object somewhere behind the guard.
* '''Prevented progress''': If one evolves their starter Pokémon before they obtain their [[Pokédex]] from Prof. Oak, the game will assume that, since they have 2 Pokémon registered as caught, that they already have a Pokédex, and will not allow them to proceed. This glitch is only present in the Japanese {{v|Red and Green|s}}.
* '''Invisible PC''': There is a hotel in [[Celadon City]] that resembles a [[Pokémon Center]] on the inside. In the top-right space of the area that the player can walk on, there is an invisible, usable PC.
* '''Fishing in Statues''': The player can use a [[Fishing|Fishing Rod]] when facing the right or left of a gym statue. It will always say "Looks like there's nothing in here...", except in [[Misty|Misty's]] [[Cerulean Gym|gym]], where all the [[Pokémon]] obtainable in the gym can be caught.
*'''[[Q Glitch]]''': A glitch enabled by the Pokémon [[Q]] (and [[Charizard 'M]]) which allows Pokémon stored in the PC to swap moves and stats.
*'''[[ZZAZZ glitch]]''': A bizarre side effect of the [[Mew glitch]] using a Pokémon with a special stat of 251, 252, 254 or 255. When this is done, a [[Glitch Trainer|Glitch trainer]] will appear. In the Red and Blue versions, after battling the Glitch trainer, numerous abnormalities will occur, including the player's name being turned into "ZZAZZ" and 3 of the player's Pokémon being turned into {{p|Bulbasaur}}, which oftentimes have learned one or more instances of the move {{m|Explosion}}. It has been known to erase a player's saved game. The abnormalities which occur in the Red/Blue version are not the same as those which occur in the Yellow version.
* '''[[Cut glitch]]''': If the player cuts down a tree, stands on the spot, saves, turns the game off, then loads it, the player will be standing on a tree.
* ''' Quick Level 100 Pokémon: ''' This glitch is similar to the [[Mew glitch]], but can be done in the [[Viridian Forest]]. First the player must go to the 2nd to last trainer and be out of his view (and must also not be able to see him). Walk one space and come into his view. Press start and use an escape rope to go to the [[Pewter City]] Pokémon Center. A, B, Start, and Select will not work. Now go try to go out of Pewter City towards [[Mt. Moon]]. The guy will stop the player and show he/she Brock's Gym. Now the player must go to the small patch of grass south of Pewter City and North of Viridian Forest. Encounter a Pokémon and use {{m|Growl}} on it equal the the number of levels it is higher than 1 (Example: a level 4 {{p|Pidgey}} would have to have growl used on it 3 times). Now walk into the forest (a message like 'Do you have a Pikachu?' may appear). The player will immediately go into a Pokémon battle with a level 1 Pokémon. When the player weakens the Pokémon, he/she must catch it. Now use it in a Pokémon Battle and if it gets less than 55 experience points it will go straight to level 100. Note: The player can obtain different level 1 Pokémon by facing different Pokémon to the patch of grass south of Pewter City and North of Viridian Forest, although only some will be able to grow to level 100.
* '''Stuck in Wall''': If the player lures an NPC into the grass above [[Pallet Town]], she will block the player from following [[Professor Oak]] correctly, causing the player to become stuck in the wall of Oak's laboratory.
* '''[[0 ERROR]]''': Another glitch similar to the [[Mew glitch]] that causes [[Route 6]] to become glitched.

====Error codes (R/B/Y)====
[[File:Glithy4.png|thumb|right|A 0 Error in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]]]]
[[File:59 Error.png|thumb|right|A 59 Error in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]]]]
In Pokémon Red and Blue, there are several error codes that appear when the game is not functioning correctly. Problems such as these often crop up when the game's memory access is corrupted or when experimenting with glitches such as the [[Mew glitch]]. Usually, when an error code appears, the game does not freeze and the player is allowed to continue playing the game without [[Soft resetting|resetting]]. There are thirteen known error codes in Pokémon Red and Blue:

==={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}===

* '''[[Glitch dimension]]:''' Turns everything into strange, random colors and slows the ability to see the party screen and changes the "Poké" in PokéGear to random symbols. It is usually activated by first using the [[Coin Case]] and then speaking to the {{p|Machop}} at [[Vermilion City]].
* '''Dratini glitch''': After the player speaks to the {{p|Dratini}} in [[Blackthorn City]] and uses the Coin Case, the Coin Case's display will change what the coin case says from "Coins: ..." to "Which move?he pp of" permanently unless the game is turned off without saving.
*'''[[Celebi Egg Trick]]''': Allows players to hatch as many {{p|Celebi}} as one desires using a number of steps.
* '''Shiny Ditto Exploit''': By trading any [[shiny Pokémon]] to a Generation I game, having a wild Ditto transform into that Pokémon, then catching and trading the Ditto into a Generation II game, the Ditto will be shiny.
* '''[[Cut glitch]]''': If the {{player}} cuts down a tree, stands on the spot, saves, turns off the power, and loads the game, the player will be standing on top of a tree.

====Error codes (G/S/C)====
{{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} feature a more detailed method of handling errors compared to Red, Blue and Yellow, although error messages are very uncommon in-game without the use of a [[cheating]] device.

===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===
* '''[[Infinite continues glitch]]''': A glitch allowing the player to get infinite continues in any [[Stadium Cup]].

==={{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}===
* '''Hill glitch''': East of [[Mauville City]] there is an [[Aroma Lady]] that will battle the {{player}}. If the player stands right behind the hill in her line of sight, she will see the player and walk onto the hill and stay there until the player leaves the area. This does not happen in Emerald due to her being a part of a double battle in the same area.
* '''[[Berry glitch]]''': Freezes the growth of any berries which have been planted but not harvested, often occurs after the game has been owned for a year or played for over 100 hours, though not always.
* '''{{m|Thunderbolt}} glitch''': The moves {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Thunder}}, when used in some Ruby and Sapphire cartridges, may cause the game to [[Game freeze|freeze]] or cause a sound effect to linger until the game is turned off.
* '''[[Pomeg glitch]]''' ({{V|Emerald}} only): A glitch involves negative HP.

===[[Pokémon Colosseum]]===
*'''[[Colosseum Master Ball glitch]]''': Also known as the Infinite Ball Glitch; it is a glitch which involves switching the position of any [[Poké Ball]] on the same turn that it is selected to be used, so that the quantity does not decrease.

==={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}===
*'''Honey shop glitch''': This is caused by the {{player}} using {{m|Sweet Scent}} or [[honey]] in a shop. When the player talks to the shopkeeper and selects "buy", he or she will see that there are no names or descriptions for any of the items in stock.
*'''Egg Nature Glitch''': A well timed switch between boxes will allow the player to see the [[nature]]/[[ability]]/type of the Pokémon inside an egg.

==={{game|Platinum}}===
*'''[[Acid rain]]''': {{m|Rain Dance|Rain}}, {{m|Sunny Day|strong sunlight}}, {{m|hail}} and a {{m|sandstorm}} all occur on the battlefield when a Pokémon switching is knocked out with {{m|Pursuit}} during Hail or Sandstorm.
*'''Graphical Glitches''': In areas such as the [[Great Marsh]] or the [[Ribbon Syndicate]], standing in certain places may cause the foilage or the walls to bend and merge into other graphics near them. This is most likely because {{game|Platinum}} runs on a 3D game engine.
*'''Black Belt Gibberish''': For unknown reasons, a certain [[Black Belt]] in Sinnoh's Victory Road may speak glitchy gibberish upon defeat. This may or may not be intentional.
*'''[[Pal Park#Manipulation|Pal Park Glitch]]''': Allows the player to migrate any number of Pokémon via the [[Pal Park]], this is used to overcome the 6 Pokémon per 24 hours limit.
*'''[[GTS Glitch 1]]''': In some copies of Platinum, the [[level]]s of a Pokémon might not be displayed on the GTS. In order to fix this, the {{player}} must contact [[Nintendo]].
*'''[[GTS Glitch 2]]''': In a [[Generation IV]] game, if the player deposits any Pokémon on the GTS that can evolve through trade (holding any necessary items), and then either waits for over 24 hours before taking it back, or trades for another Pokémon before taking the first back, it will evolve after being received.

==Glitch Pokémon==
{{main|Glitch Pokémon}}
A glitch [[Pokémon]] is a Pokémon that exists in a game due to a programming or level design oversight or for beta testing, and as it was not intentionally placed inside the game by [[Nintendo]] or [[Game Freak]], it might be hazardous to saved data. They were originally supposed to be place-holders for unused Hex-addresses in the game. Glitch Pokémon sometimes may damage player's save file.

==Glitch characteristics==
===Glitch attacks===
A glitch attack, or glitch [[move]], is much like a regular attack except the results are often undesirable. Like with glitch Pokémon, glitch attacks were not programmed into the game on purpose and many have been proven to cause damage to game cartridges. The only widely known ones are those for Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow. Glitch attacks are sometimes displayed as TM attacks ('''TM01'''-'''TM55''' and '''HM01''' to '''HM05'''), but some have no name or a glitched, unreadable name. Some attacks are of known glitch types (see list below), but most have either no type or an unknown type, and are often referred to collectively as "{{m|Super Glitch}}" (see [[List of glitch moves]]).

There are ways to teach glitch attacks to certain Pokémon without usage of a cheat-code device such as [[GameShark]], however, most of the time only glitch Pokémon will learn glitch attacks.

One way of teaching a Pokémon in [[Generation I]] a glitch move is trading to a [[Generation II]] game a Pokémon that will evolve by trading at a level when it will learn an attack in the next generation game, and then trading it back to the Generation I game. For example, trading a level 50 {{p|Haunter}} from {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}} to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} will make the Haunter evolve into {{p|Gengar}}. Since it is level 50, it will learn {{m|Destiny Bond}}. If it is then traded back to Pokémon Red, it will still have the move, but the game won't recognize it properly since it is a Generation II move.

===Glitch types===
{{main|List of glitch types}}
There are many different glitch types that are found to be the types of several glitch Pokémon. The majority of them are used for very few Pokémon; typically only one or two glitch Pokémon per type.

===Glitch areas===
Aside from Glitch City in [[Generation I]], there are several other areas which can only be reached by way of a glitch in the games. Examples of this are areas in the [[Sevii Islands]] that are retrievable via their [[index number]] pointer, however, do not have any other data. [[Sevii Isle 8]] and [[Sevii Isle 9]] are the only index number areas which have actual map data.

===Glitch items===
In the [[Generation II]] games, it is possible to get an item called the [[Teru-sama]], the only description of which is a lone question mark. [[Generation III]] likewise has a mystery item. Both of these seem to have been placeholders just in case more slots for items were ever needed, something that came true with the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Clear Bell}} in {{v2|Crystal}} and the various newer items introduced just in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, LeafGreen|s}} and {{v2|Emerald}}, which register as the Teru-sama and mystery item if they are somehow moved into {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} or [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]]. There is also the Seal Bag, a glitch item obtained from the [[Generation IV]] [[Global Trade Station|GTS]] glitch.

The Teru-sama is a glitch item, but can be transformed into the [[GS Ball]] if it is given to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to capture {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]]. This works in the Japanese, English and European versions of {{game|Crystal}}.

===Glitch trainers===
[[Glitch Trainer|Glitch trainers]] have been known to occur in the Red/Blue/Yellow versions. They are usually found if the player's name contains mostly special characters. There are also several special stat numbers used in the [[Mew glitch]] which cause glitch trainers to appear. Glitch trainers frequently use [[Glitch Pokémon]] in battle.

==Notes==
* Missingno.'s special stats for the Mew trick vary (see [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html]).
* The Yellow version [[Missingno.]] is different from the Red/Blue Missingno., but both share the same name. For the Yellow version Missingno., using a Pokémon in Method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]] with a special stat of 31, 32, 61, 62 , 63, 67, 68, or 69 would make it appear([http://trsrockin.com/hexlist.html]). Missingno will revert to level 0 if leveled up to over level 255 with Rare Candies or to level 100 if it fights in battle and wins.
* The Pokémon [['M]], [[3TrainerPoké]], [['M|Charizard 'M]] and [[Q]] are the only known catchable glitch Pokémon that cannot be ''directly'' caught using the Mew glitch. Other glitches can be obtained by messing with the game link cable during a trade. [['M]] and [[3TrainerPoké]] cannot be caught using the [[Mew glitch]] because the special stat required for method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]] is 0, a number which no Pokémon has. [[Charizard 'M]] and [[Q]] cannot because [[Q]] can only be found by evolving a [[44Hy]], and [[Charizard 'M]] can only be found by trading a [[Q]]. The special stat numbers which would cause Charizard 'M or Q to appear in a [[Mew glitch]]-type battle freeze the game.
* The glitch known as "[[.4]]" can freeze or crash the game if it uses a certain glitch move. If the game is saved while this move is in .4's moveset, the data may be corrupted, making it impossible to continue and forcing the player to start a new game.
* The 24 catchable glitch Pokémon, plus the original 151 Pokémon, brings the total number of catchable Pokémon in the Red/Blue/Yellow versions to 175.
* The characteristics of one Glitch Pokémon usually do not apply to its Red/Blue or Yellow equivalent. For example, [[LM4]] will evolve into {{p|Clefairy}} and then immediately into {{p|Nidoking}}, whereas its Yellow version equivalent, [[7g]], has no evolutions.

Tweaking

2009-11-23T20:09:03Z

Firefly292: /* External links */

[[Image:Tweaking Glitch.PNG|thumb|right|A successful tweak.]]
'''Tweaking''', sometimes called '''holepunching''' to commemorate <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.gamespot.com/users/Holepunch/ its discoverer]</span>, is a [[glitch]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} that causes the game to fail to load the graphics of an area.

==What causes the effect==
Maps in Diamond and Pearl are broken up into 32-step by 32-step squares that are visible at any one time, with nine of these squares loaded at any given time. When a player crosses over the game's various "load lines", located halfway across these 32×32 squares, the next area is loaded to memory, while the previous is unloaded. Through this, the overworld becomes a seamless area.

Using the [[bicycle]] in fourth gear, however, can cause the player to move too fast for the game to load the areas properly, especially if he or she changes direction while doing so to cross over the two load lines in the center of a square nearly simultaneously. Doing so oversaturates the DS's RAM, causing varying effects such as a black area, a white area, or even, at times, a completely different section to load, or often simply freezing the game.

The distortion caused by tweaking can be solved easily by crossing a load line away from the distortion, as when the section is loaded again, it will be normal. It can also be solved by looking at a different menu screen, then returning to the overworld.

==Exploitation==
By tweaking in a specific manner in an area that has buildings that the player can enter, as well as forcing the game to load the section in such a way that the player can walk ''into'' the dark area, buildings can be entered through their currently invisible and not properly loaded walls. By reloading the map while the player is inside of the building, behind the warp to the ''actual'' inside of the building, and walking south, the player can end up on the inside of the building, but in the void area around the normally accessible portion, somewhat like the [[Surf glitch]]. Like the Surf glitch, a way can be found through the interconnecting area of this void to [[Newmoon Island]] and the [[Flower Paradise]], where {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} reside. The same risks associated with the Surf glitch, such as locking oneself in the [[Mystery Zone]], are found here. {{p|Arceus}} is yet to be found with this glitch, however it is most likely that after battling it the player will be permanently trapped inside the [[Hall of Origin]] until they start a new game, or possibly leave using {{m|teleport}}.

Because of the different manner in which graphics are loaded in {{game|Platinum}}, this glitch has been remedied. However, the glitch returned in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

Surf glitch

2009-11-23T20:08:37Z

Firefly292: /* Danger and remedy */

The '''Surf glitch''' is a [[Generation IV]] [[glitch]] best known for enabling the capture of the promotional [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. {{p|Arceus}} cannot be obtained through this method since Arceus is not in a location from which it is possible to get to the [[Sinnoh]] [[The Underground|Underground]].

The glitch is accessed due to the door in {{EF|Aaron}}'s room of the {{si|Pokémon League}} having bad programming, allowing for the player, while facing it, to use {{m|Surf}} if it is selected from the Pokémon menu. This will allow the player to step into the [[void]] around the indoors area consisting of the room and walk to another area. Though this, with steps easily countable using the [[Pokétch]], the player can walk to [[Newmoon Island]] and the [[Flower Paradise]], finding Darkrai and Shaymin there available for capture without the need for their respective event items, the [[Member Card]] and [[Oak's Letter]]. Following the capture of the Pokémon, the player can merely {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Teleport}} back to a normally-accessible area and resume playing normally.

If the Member Card or Oak's Letter is obtained in the game at a later time, neither Shaymin nor Darkrai will regenerate, and so this is for naught. So far, the [[Mystery Gift]] events for these items have only been available to players of {{game|Platinum}}, from which this anomaly was removed, perhaps because of the lack of need for the event in Diamond and Pearl.

The player is unable to reach the [[Hall of Origin]] using this glitch, as, although it is programmed into the game as a separate area than [[Spear Pillar]], the Underground cannot be accessed from either of the locations. Though there is no way of reaching {{p|Arceus}}, there is likewise no danger in finding oneself stuck on a glass ceiling above Spear Pillar.

==Danger and remedy==
Venturing into the void provides for some interesting and potentially hazardous consequences to those who would exploit this glitch. As the area has not been programmed properly, since the player would normally not be able to access it, it runs the risk of causing the player to get stuck forever. Saving outside of the boundaries of a building or in the [[Mystery Zone]] may cause corruption of game data, including the loss of the save file completely, with the player required to start their game anew.

Nintendo has [[n:Nintendo officially acknowledges glitches in Diamond and Pearl|acknowledged the glitches]] and offered workarounds and methods of recovery. The glitch was removed from English and international versions of the games, however, [[tweaking]] can lead to the same result in these games. Platinum addresses both glitches in all versions of the game.

Firefly292: /* External Links */

[[Image:Q.PNG|thumb|right|[[Q]]]]
The '''Q Glitch''' is a trick enabled by the [[Glitch Pokémon]], [[Q]]. Due to Q's unusual behavior, it and its {{v2|Red and Blue|s}} equivalent [[Charizard 'M]] are the only Pokémon that enable a {{player}} to a unique trick, often called the <span class="plainlinks">[http://glitchcity.info/docs/q Q trick]</span>. It involves depositing Q and other Pokémon into Bill's PC in a certain order, and then when they are retrieved, the Pokémon's attacks and stats will be transferred from one Pokémon to another; for example, a {{p|Moltres}} may end up receiving the stats of a common {{p|Caterpie}}, while a {{p|Pikachu}} may receive the stats of the same Moltres.

Firefly292: /* List of hybrid Glitch Pokémon */

A '''hybrid Glitch Pokémon''' is a [[Glitch Pokémon]] that shares its [[Pokédex]] number, starting [[move]]s, [[Elemental types|types]], and [[stats]] with another non-glitched Pokémon, but learns very different level-up moves and has very different [[evolution]]s. Some hybrids share their sprite with that of the Pokémon they are "based" on, while others simply have the usual sort of glitch-block sprite. They are found in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} as well as in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. The term "hybrid" was coined by [[Glitch City Laboratories]].

Game freeze

2009-11-23T20:06:22Z

Firefly292:

{{search|game malfunction|the status ailment Freeze|Status_ailment#Freeze|Status ailment}}

A '''game freeze''' is when the data completely stops flowing to the screen, thus causing the game to lock up. During a game freeze, the player cannot move, speak to other characters, select an object, or use any buttons. The only way to escape a game freeze is to simply turn the power off. Game freezes can occur due to the lack of information input into the game, such as when walking out of the boundaries of an area. They also occur when performing glitches such as the [[Mew glitch|Mew trick]] incorrectly.

[[Image:Redcrash.png|thumb|right|A game freezing in [[Generation I]]]]
Incorrect codes on devices such as an [[Action Replay]] or [[GameShark]] can result in encountering [[glitch Pokémon]], that can cause the game to freeze. In addition, a game may freeze if the player has used too many cheats on it, thus rendering the save file unplayable and the game permanently damaged. Game freezes are often accompanied by an odd buzzing sound; however, sometimes the normal music for wherever the player was before the game froze can be heard. Frequently, a loop or constant replay of whatever sound was being played prior to the freeze will be played. Sometimes, a freeze will play no sound, even if there was a sound being played before the freeze. Some game freezes are also accompanied by opcode errors when playing with an emulator, meaning that the game gives incorrect or impossible instructions to the hardware of the device, effectively crashing the game.

The game may occasionally freeze while playing any [[Generation III]] game, when a player's Pokémon uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Thunder}}, or when fleeing from a [[wild Pokémon]], though these cases are very rare. The Thunder/Thunderbolt problems can be rectified by turning off [[battle animation]]s.

They can also be found by doing the [[Mew glitch]] with special stats ranging from 201-255 in the Red/Blue versions and 201-253 in the Yellow version. Depending on the {{player}}'s name, during the Missingno. glitch a player can run into {{OBP|Black Belt|Trainer class}}s, [[Gentleman|Gentlemen]], {{ga|Blue}}, and [[Professor Oak]], among others.

When battling a Glitch Trainer, the music begins as normal wild Pokémon music. When a [[Glitch Pokémon]] is used by the trainer, its cry may be audio from other parts of the game, such as the background music of the final battle with the [[rival]].

Unlike other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, the Glitch Trainer says nothing before or after the battle. Glitch Trainers have been known to use Glitch Pokémon such as [[Glitch Nidorino]], [[Missingno.]], and [[Charizard 'M]], and non-obtainable glitch Pokémon among others.

Trovita Island is surrounded by large rocks that were formed millions of years ago when the island rose out of the ocean. The Spike Shell Badge reflects this unique island trait. Trovita Island is home to the third member of the Orange Crew, Rudy and his sister [[Mahri]]. The Trovita Gym is a large stadium.

It is a two-story building that resembles a [[Pokémon Center]]. On the first floor is a gigantic dance floor/exercise room for Rudy's Pokémon. Outside on the coast, there are also pillars jutting out of the water that Rudy uses as a battle arena.

Like all gyms in the [[Orange Archipelago]], the Trovita Gym executes a unique battling style. Before the Leader, Rudy, can be challenged, a qualifier must be completed in which the {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon must knock down or destroy a succession of targets. The qualifier is carried out on a boat traveling down a river on [[Trovita Island]], and the targets are shaped like {{wp|bullseye (target)|bullseyes}}. Knocking down all the targets will entitle the challenger to {{pkmn|battle}} with Rudy.

The formal battles of the gym are conducted outside on a high pillar, with rocky walls leading to the ocean below. This gives the risk that either Trainer's Pokémon may fall. In battle, both Trainers will use three Pokémon. Rudy's Pokémon will be of the same [[elemental type|type]] as the challenger. Because of this, he has a wide variety of Pokémon at his disposal, all of which have been trained to dance. Rudy uses his Pokémon's unconventional skills to overcome the type disadvantage usually found when fighting a Pokémon of the same type, such as spinning out of the way of attacks.

'''Pummelo Stadium''' (Japanese: '''カンキツスタジアム''' ''Kankitsu Stadium'') is the official [[gym]] of [[Pummelo Island]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, the [[Head Leader|leader]] of the [[Orange Crew]]. All four [[Orange League]] [[badge|gym badges]] are required to challenge him. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him in a [[full battle]] receive the [[Winner's Trophy]] and are accepted into the [[Hall of Fame]], effectively becoming [[League Champion]]s.

==In the anime==
Pummelo Stadium appeared in two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}: ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''.

The stadium sits atop a hill overlooking the city. A statue of a {{p|Dragonite}} is situated at the top of the stadium. It is a Colosseum with lights and a scoreboard, its size rivaling even [[Indigo Plateau]]. In the Winner's Cup Competition, whenever three of either trainer's [[Pokémon]] are [[unable to battle]], the field is changed.

{{Ash}} challenged Drake for a [[Orange League|championship]] {{pkmn|battle}} on his journey through the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. Ash competed on a {{t|rock}} and {{t|water}} field and then a sand field. The long match went to Ash, and he and his Pokémon were honored in the [[Palace of Victory]]. It wouldn't seem that Ash had any obligation to take over as the [[Head Leader]] and defend the title against challengers as Drake does, however. After accepting the Winner's Trophy, he continued on to the [[Johto]] region to compete there.

The Navel Gym isn't a building, and instead spans the entire mountain on Navel Island. Danny makes trainers participate in several mountaineering challenges, including scaling the mountain without the aid of any [[Pokémon]]. Natural geysers must be frozen and crafted into bobsleds for racing down the mountain. There is no [[Pokémon battle|battling]].

Bulbapedia:Project Pokédex

2009-11-23T19:13:17Z

Firefly292: /* Participants */

[[Image:Project Pokédex logo.png|right|200px]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon species'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible. It will also encompass any Pokémon Trading Card Game information, any relevant Anime information, and any other canon information which is relevant.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the hierarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
<br>Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.'''<br>
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
::'''<nowiki>====Special abilities====</nowiki>'''
::A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet. Use <nowiki>{{main|Pokémon food}}</nowiki> for this part.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
<br>Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
<br>First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance.<br>
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
<br>Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
<br>This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Special, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
<br>For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance.<br>
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
<br>Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
<br>All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCGDex}}.)<br>
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
<br>Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
<br>All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFG}}.)<br>
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
<br>Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself.<br>
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route. Different methods of capturing, such as in the wild versus fishing, have a break between them.
::'''<nowiki>====In side games====</nowiki>'''
::Details on the location in non-standard games like Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokémon Ranger. Please have the games in a bulleted list with details. For the Stadium games, assume regular rental Pokémon are common knowledge; do not add it to the list unless it has more information about its appearance, such as prizes, special Pokémon, ones in minigames, or if the moveset information for rentals within the individual Cups is provided as well.
:'''<nowiki>===Base statistics===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's base statistics, presented in a bar graph form.<br>
:''Note: This section may be undergoing changes soon, due to complaints about the bar graph format.''<br>
:'''<nowiki>===Type effectiveness===</nowiki>'''
:How well types affect the Pokémon, based on its own type and base stats. Currently, all articles should follow the DP Type Effectiveness format.
:'''<nowiki>===Learnset===</nowiki>'''
:Moves the Pokémon can learn. ''Sections should not be added if the Pokémon learns no moves in such a manner. In particular, this applies to the Special moves subsection - do not add this section to an article if there are currently no moves the Pokémon can learn through a special method.''
::'''<nowiki>====By leveling up====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By TM/HM====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By breeding====</nowiki>'''
::Table format. For each, please list all potential fathers which the Pokémon can inherit the move from. Do not, however, clutter the article with descriptions of how the fathers can learn the move. Instead, link to the father's article - details on how the father can learn the move should be listed on that article.
::'''<nowiki>====By tutoring====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====Special moves====</nowiki>'''
::Any techniques which a Pokémon can learn in a special way, like Pikachu's Surf or a move learned after purification in Pokémon XD.
:'''<nowiki>===Side game data===</nowiki>'''
:Table format. Note any factors that differ between species as well as any equivalent to Pokédex entries that the game may have.
:'''<nowiki>===Evolution===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's detailed evolution chain, shown as different sprites in boxes.
:'''<nowiki>===Sprites===</nowiki>'''
:Sprites of the Pokémon from all [[main series]] games, using the {{template|Sprite}} template.

'''Other information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>'''
<br>Any facts which do not fit well into any other section. This includes beta names and relations to any glitch Pokémon, such as if a glitch uses pieces of its sprite or will evolve into it. Leave out the section if there is no trivia.<br>
:'''<nowiki>===Origin===</nowiki>'''
:Plants, animals, myths, and anything else which may have served as inspiration for the Pokémon's design.
::'''<nowiki>====Name origin====</nowiki>'''
::Possible base words and inspirations for the Pokémon's name in English and Japanese.
'''<nowiki>==In other languages==</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's name in languages besides English and Japanese. Possible base words and inspirations for these names may also be added.
'''<nowiki>==Related articles==</nowiki>'''
<br>A bulleted list of any relevant articles, such as specific characters of the Pokémon in the anime or manga. TCG and TFG link lists should remain in their own sections and not be included in this subsection.<br>
'''<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>'''
<br>A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag.<br>
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
<br>A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section.<br>

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

=====Abbreviated=====
This format is for quick reference, when checking to see if an article matches the model. Headers which are in bold are required for all articles. Other headers should only be added when applicable.

==Trivia==

==In other languages==

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
<br>|- style="background: #COLOR;"
<br>! Heading
<br>! Heading
<br>|-
<br>| Content
<br>| Content
<br>|}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|DP]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolution|Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Pokémon breeding|Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area.

{{Dex

Type should be the Pokémon's primary type (or Flying if the Pokémon is {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}}). Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493). If the Pokémon have a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

'''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles''' is the twelfth season of the [[Pokémon anime]], following up to the [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension|eleventh season]]. It is the third season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan, where episodes of Pokémon air nearly every Thursday. An invention of the American broadcast industry, a season is typically aired new for nine months out of the year, with three months (usually during the summer) taken off to begin production for the next season, during which reruns air. In Japan, no differentiation is made between this and any other seasons in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series. However, there was no break between this season and the [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension|previous one]].

It began with the dub of ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', and is expected to conclude with [[DP156|the 156th episode of the series]]. Considering that [[DP120]] remains undubbed, as it is a clip show, this gives it 51 episodes.

==Important events==

[[Image:Pokémon Diamond & Pearl- Battle Dimension logo.png|thumb|left|Battle Dimension logo.]]
'''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension''' is the eleventh [[season]] of the [[Pokémon anime]], immediately following the conclusion of the [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|tenth season]]. As such it is the second season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, following {{Ash}} as he continues gathering [[badge]]s in [[Sinnoh]] and {{an|Dawn}} as she continues gathering [[ribbon]]s.

It began on April 12, 2008 with the dub premiere ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]'', and concluded on May 2, 2009 with ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]''.

It is preceded by [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] and is succeeded by [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]. It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan, where episodes of [[Pokémon]] air nearly every Thursday. An invention of the American broadcast industry, a season is typically aired new for nine months out of the year, with three months (usually during the summer) taken off to begin production for the next season, during which reruns air. In Japan, no differentiation is made between this and any other seasons in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series. However, this season began a new trend, similar to that in Japan where one episode was aired most weeks, and there was no break between this season and [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles|season 12]].

It began airing on digital TV's {{wp|Jetix}} in the UK in late 2008. It began to air on UK {{wp|Freeview}} on January 5th 2009, simultaneously on {{wp|CITV}}/{{wp|ITV4}} on {{wp|Action Stations!}}. It began to air on [[YTV]] in Canada on Monday, March 2, 2009.

'''Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl''' is the tenth season of the {{pkmn|anime}} and the first season of the English dub of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. It follows [[Ash Ketchum]] as he begins his journey in the [[Sinnoh]] region along with [[Brock]], and new girl {{an|Dawn}}. Ash continues to collect badges, while Dawn competes in contests. It began with ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage]]'', which originally aired on April 20, 2007 in the United States, and ended with ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' which originally aired on February 1, 2008.

It is preceded by [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] and is succeeded by [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]].

'''Pokémon: Battle Frontier''' is the ninth season of the [[Pokémon anime]] and the final season of the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} English-language dub. It is comprised of episodes 146-192 of the original Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation series. It follows [[Ash Ketchum]] as he continues to collect symbols from the [[Kanto]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} while {{an|May}} participates in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. It began with ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', which originally aired on September 8, 2006 in the United States, and ended with ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]'', which originally aired on March 3, 2007.

The English dub underwent many changes at the start of the season. [[4Kids Entertainment]]'s licensing rights to the dub expired and in an agreement with {{PUSA}} they decided not to renew, resulting in a [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|recasting controversy]] among some fans. Meanwhile, [[Kids' WB!]] (a broadcast network) dropped all anime from its lineup leading to [[Cartoon Network]] (a cable network) picking up the series. It begins broadcasting on {{wp|CITV}}/{{wp|Action Stations!}} on October 30th 2008 in the UK, this is the first time this series has been shown on {{wp|Freeview (UK)|Freeview}}.

It is preceded by ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' and is succeeded by ''[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]'' which starts the saga based on the games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan, where episodes of Pokémon air nearly every Thursday. An invention of the American broadcast industry, a season is typically aired new for nine months out of the year, with three months (usually during the summer) taken off to begin production for the next season, during which reruns air. In Japan, no differentiation is made between this and any other seasons in the ''Advanced Generation'' series.

See the [[list of Pokémon: Battle Frontier episodes]] for a list of episodes aired this season.

'''Pokémon: Advanced Challenge''' is the seventh season of the English-dubbed Pokémon TV series. It is comprised of episodes 41-92 of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. This season showcases the adventures of {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Brock]] and [[Max]] in the [[Hoenn|Hoenn region]], from the outskirts of [[Mauville City]] up to past [[Lilycove City]].

It originally aired as part of the 2004-2005 [[Kids' WB!]] Saturday morning line-up. The season began with ''[[AG041|What you Seed is What You Get]]'', which originally aired on September 11, 2004, and ended with ''[[AG092|Judgement Day]]'', which originally aired on September 10, 2005.

It is preceded by [[Pokémon: Advanced]] and followed by [[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]. It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan. As the anime is nearly constantly produced there, viewers do not differentiate Advanced Challenge from any other season of the ''Advanced Generation'' series.

This season, [[Bella Hudson]] takes over the role of [[Nurse Joy]] from [[Megan Hollingshead]], who left after the previous season. Additionally, original voice actress [[Tara Jayne]] leaves the series after providing the voice of [[Princess Sara]]. [[Jamie Davyous Owens]] joins the cast providing the voice of [[Officer Jenny]] from Megan Hollingshead.

'''Pokémon: Advanced''' is the first season of the dub of the {{series|Advanced Generation}} of the Pokémon anime, comprised of the first forty episodes. However, it is considered the sixth season of the entire Pokémon {{wp|metaseries|series}} by U.S. broadcasters. This season showcases the adventures of {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Brock]] and [[Max]] in the [[Hoenn]] region, from [[Littleroot Town]] up to [[Mauville City]].

It originally aired as part of the 2003-2004 [[Kids' WB!]] Saturday morning line-up. The season began with ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', which first aired in sequence on November 1, 2003 (having been part of a "preview" of Pokémon: Advanced more than half a year earlier) and ended with ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson]]'', which originally aired on September 4, 2004.

[[Image:Hoen Group.png|thumb|left|{{Ash}} with {{ashfr|his friends}} in Pokémon Advanced]]
It is preceded by [[Pokémon: Master Quest]], the last season of the {{series|original}} dub, and succeeded by [[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]. It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan, as the anime is continuously produced. Japanese viewers do not, therefore, consider Pokémon Advanced any different than any other season of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. This is the last time [[Megan Hollingshead]] voices [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]], as she left [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] at the end of this season. This season is the last where 4Kids Entertainment dub at [[TAJ Productions]]: for the next season, they moved into their own dubbing studio.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

2009-11-23T18:56:31Z

Firefly292:

: ''This article is about the third [[series]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}. For other uses, see [[Diamond and Pearl]].''
----
[[Image:Dpseries.jpg|thumb|right|A poster for the series, featuring {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}}, the [[lake guardians]] surrounding the [[Spear Key]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, [[Brock]], {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}.]]
The '''''Diamond & Pearl'' series''' of the [[Pokémon anime]] (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　ダイヤモンド＆パール''' ''Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl'') is the third series of the long-running anime, starting after the end of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. Like the previous series, [[Ash Ketchum]] is the main character who is joined by [[Brock]], his longtime companion, as well as {{an|Dawn}}, a rookie [[Pokémon Coordinator]] who wishes to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Like what happened in the ''Advanced Generation'' series, both Ash and Brock received a change of clothes.

As well, a similarity to the previous series is that Ash attempted to travel to Sinnoh with only {{AP|Pikachu}}. He was unsuccessful, however, as his recently-caught {{AP|Aipom}} insisted on accompanying him.

So far, it covers [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]], which ended with ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]], which started with ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]'' and ended with ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'' and [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]], which started with ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', in the dub.

Like ''Advanced Generation'' before it, Ash's {{an|May|previous female companion}} made a cameo appearance for a short while wearing new clothes just as Ash and Brock do. {{an|May}}'s outfit was based on that of her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} during {{game|Emerald}}.

[[Image:Sinnohseries.png|thumb|left|{{Ash}}, [[Brock]], and {{an|Dawn}} with their Pokémon in an English poster for the series, with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} in the background.]]
The ''Diamond & Pearl'' series is different from the previous two series in that it is more story driven. While there have to date been less episodes dedicated to Ash's Gym quest or the resident Coordinator's (currently Dawn) Contest quest than previous series had in the same amount of time, more captures, more departures, and more rivals have been introduced when compared to earlier series. Additionally, this series is the most violent and dramatic of the three so far, in part stemming from the character [[Paul]] whose training method contrasts sharply with Ash's so much that he nearly abuses his Pokémon for not doing well, and likewise stemming from the cataclysmic nature of the plot of Sinnoh's resident [[villainous team]], [[Team Galactic]]. It has been subtly hinted that Ash may challenge the [[Elite Four]] in this series, in part due to appearances of [[Cynthia]], [[Lucian]], and {{EF|Aaron}}. In ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', Lucian said to Ash, "We'll have our battle later". Based upon information about the 13th Pokémon movie, it is a possibility that Ash and his friends will visit Johto.

The series currently consists of three dub seasons:
*[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] ([[DP001]] - [[DP052]])
*[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]] ([[DP053]] - [[DP104]])
*[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]] ([[DP105]] - present)

Episodes of the Diamond & Pearl series begin with the prefix '''DP''' in their numbering on Bulbapedia. For complete listing, see the [[list of Diamond & Pearl series episodes]].

The '''''Advanced Generation'' series''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　アドバンスジェネレーション''' ''Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation'') is the second series of the [[Pokémon anime]]. As the previous three regions that [[Ash Ketchum]] had traveled through were part of one series, the beginning of this series came as a surprise to many.

In this series, Ash is joined not by [[Misty]], who had been his continuous companion for the entirety of the {{series|original}}, but {{an|May}}, a rookie trainer from [[Petalburg City]] who at first merely wishes to travel. Eventually, she learns of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and declares herself a [[Pokémon Coordinator]]. May's brother, [[Max]], also travels with the group and helps map out routes to take using his [[PokéNav]]. However, Max is too young to have his own Pokémon. [[Brock]], Ash's near-constant adviser, returns soon after the start of the series, while Misty makes two several-episode cameo appearances wearing a new outfit like her old companions do.

Another change in this series that surprised many was that of both Ash and Brock's clothes. No longer did Ash wear [[Ash's hat|the hat]] he claimed to have sent in a million postcards for, but instead a completely different outfit.

The ''Advanced Generation'' series saw a change in the formula followed by the original series, as well. While in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], Ash encountered all three of those regions' [[starter Pokémon]] and caught each. In this series, however, Ash's only capture of a starter was {{TP|Ash|Treecko|Sceptile}}. Also, unlike when he traveled to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] and [[Johto]], Ash left behind all of his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s, bringing only {{AP|Pikachu}}. This is the only series thus far in which Ash doesn't have a defined [[rival]].

When the ''Advanced Generation'' series came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it was divided up into four seasons:

*[[Pokémon: Advanced]] ([[AG001]] - [[AG040]])
*[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]] ([[AG041]] - [[AG092]])
*[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]] ([[AG093]] - [[AG145]])
*[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] ([[AG146]] - [[AG192]])

Episodes in the ''Advanced Generation'' series are numbered with the prefix '''AG''' on Bulbapedia. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of Advanced Generation series episodes]].

Firefly292: /* Trivia */

The '''original series''' of the Pokémon anime (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the first series of the [[Pokémon anime]]. Unlike later series, the name of the original series comes only from the need to differentiate it from the later two series.

During the original series, rookie Trainer [[Ash Ketchum]] begins his journey in [[Kanto]], leaving his home of [[Pallet Town]] with the only [[starter Pokémon]] that [[Professor Oak]] had left to give: a reluctant and moody {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash's quest begins in earnest to defeat all of the [[Gym Leaders]] and get to the [[Pokémon League]] as soon as he has gained Pikachu's trust, and he is joined by two mentors, [[Brock]] and [[Misty]].

After competing in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] and not doing so well, Ash journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] to receive the [[GS Ball]] from [[Professor Ivy]], as it cannot be transported to Professor Oak by [[PC]]. During his time there, Ash competes in another Pokémon League, the [[Orange League]]. When Oak cannot figure out how to open the GS Ball on Ash's return to Pallet, the Professor sends Ash to [[Johto]] to give the ball to [[Kurt]]. While there, Ash again competes in a Pokémon League, the [[Silver Conference]].

When the anime was dubbed into English and other languages, the series was divided into five "[[season]]s":
*[[Pokémon: Indigo League|Pokémon]] ([[EP001]]–[[EP081]])
*[[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands]] ([[EP082]]–[[EP116]])
*[[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]] ([[EP117]]–[[EP157]])
*[[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]] ([[EP158]]–[[EP209]])
*[[Pokémon: Master Quest]] ([[EP210]]–[[EP274]])

Episodes in the original series are numbered with the prefix '''EP''' on Bulbapedia. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of original series episodes]].

==Trivia==
* Originally, this series of the anime was only to have lasted a year and a half, approximately as long as the Kanto saga lasted.
* At two hundred seventy-four episodes, this is the anime's longest series.

'''Get the Show on the Road!''' (Japanese: '''新たなる大地！新たなる冒険！！''' ''A New Land! A New Adventure!!'') is the first episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and the 275th episode of the overall Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 21, 2002 and in the USA on March 15, 2003 as part of a special preview. It was later broadcast in sequence in the US on November 1, 2003.

== Synopsis ==
The episode begins with {{an|May}} riding her bike towards [[Littleroot Town]]. Although today is the day she will receive her first [[Pokémon]] from [[Professor Birch]], she admits that she would rather just travel, and is not really interested in training Pokémon. Suddenly, a {{p|Duskull}} appears next to her and scares her. She speeds off, but loses control and crashes into a tree. She continues onward, until she reaches a cliff overlooking Littleroot Town.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}} is also arriving in Littleroot Town. But all he can think about is trying to heal {{AP|Pikachu}}. He then wonders if there's a [[Pokémon Center]] in town, and hopes that [[Nurse Joy]] can inspect Pikachu to see if it's okay. On the upper deck, [[Team Rocket]] hears the call for Littleroot Town. All are eager to enter this new land except for [[Jessie]], who seems to be depressed for some unknown reason.

When the boat docks, Ash disembarks and asks the port attendant where the Pokémon Center is. He is saddened to learn that there is none in the small town. He is about to give up when he remembers Professor Birch, and wonders if he has any capabilities of healing Pikachu. He calls Birch's lab, only to find that he is out doing field work. [[Joshua]], his assistant, informs Ash that he will let the professor know of the situation as soon as possible.

In the meantime, Ash waits on the bench, anxious for any word from the professor. Out of the blue, Ash hears a screeching noise. He looks up to see Professor Birch in a jeep. Birch asks if Ash is the one who called about Pikachu, and he immediately responds. He carries Pikachu into the jeep and they speed off. Along the way back to the lab, Birch begins to figure out what's happening with Pikachu; it is suffering from an electric overload after [[EP274|being strapped to Team Rocket's giant magnet]]. If the {{t|Electric}} Pokémon doesn't receive immediate attention, it may explode from all the energy. Their only hope is to drain all of it out of Pikachu. Once at the lab, the professor attaches the machine to Pikachu, while Joshua turns it on. Pikachu's electricity levels are so high, they cause the machine to explode. Pikachu then escapes, and Ash runs after it. Upon finding out Ash isn't carrying any other Pokémon, Birch grabs the three [[Starter Pokémon]] and runs after the young {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Joshua reminds Birch that the starters are supposed to be for May who is due to arrive that day, and Birch tells Joshua to ask May to wait until he gets back. As he explains this, Ash is desperately calling out and searching for Pikachu, but the Pokémon is nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, May arrives at the lab. Joshua tells her that the professor will be right back, but she ignores him and goes looking for Birch. She is unaware that he has fallen off a cliff and landed on top of a {{p|Poochyena}} while looking for Pikachu. After recovering, he apologizes to the Pokémon, but it just appears to get angrier. Two more appear and they all begin to growl at the professor. He realizes that they're about to use {{m|Rage}}. Although initially proud of his knowledge, he soon realizes that their [[move]] is directed at him, and runs away trying to escape from them.

As he takes shelter in a tree, May arrives and inquires as to why he is climbing a tree. Relieved that somebody has arrived, he tells May to get one of his Pokémon to ward off the Poochyena. Hesitantly, she takes out a Poké Ball and sends out {{p|Mudkip}}. The professor tells her to command it to use an attack, but May is unfamiliar with the Pokémon's moves. Birch tells her to have it use {{m|Water Gun}}. When she commands it, the {{type2|Water}} Pokémon sprays her in the face. Frustrated, Birch falls from his branch and is being pursued once again. He calls after Mudkip, who follows him. When Birch commands Water Gun, it uses it on the Poochyena, scaring them off. Birch then realizes that Ash and Pikachu are still missing, and has May follow him.

Pikachu continues to get weaker, but at the same time more frightened. It uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Ash, thinking he's an enemy. By now, Birch and May have reached the area, and see Ash dive off a cliff to save his friend. Luckily, he manages to grab onto a branch, but he is far from danger. Pikachu continues shocking him, and even bites him at one point to try and get away. Eventually, Ash calms Pikachu down, and it slowly realizes who is holding it. The Trainer makes it back up the cliff and meets up with the professor and May.

Just when things start looking well, Team Rocket appears in their latest [[Team Rocket's Mechas|mecha]], a giant battery robot. When May and Birch inquire about them, Ash lets them know about the trio and their evil ways. {{MTR}} begins bragging about how this is their best robot ever, and grabs Pikachu with one of the machine's arms. Team Rocket then has the machine put suction cups on Pikachu's cheeks to absorb its electricity. As [[James]] and Meowth celebrate the fact the machine is filling up with energy, Jessie yells at them, saying that Pikachu is getting stronger. After getting most of the energy drained, Pikachu shocks the machine, and a stray bolt of electricity fries May's bike. Then, the robot explodes, sending Team Rocket blasting off once again. This time, Jessie is happy, claiming she feels completely recharged thanks to Pikachu. The electric Pokémon then collapses on the ground, causing Ash to panic once again.

Back at Birch's lab, he determines that Team Rocket's machine drained all the excess energy out of Pikachu until its levels were at what they were supposed to be. After a rest, he says that Pikachu should make a full recovery. With that situation over, Birch now turns his attention to May and her first Pokémon. He first shows her {{p|Treecko}}, but May thinks the {{type2|Grass}} looks scary. Mudkip is next, but May says she doesn't want it because it refused to listen to her. Finally, the professor reveals {{p|Torchic}}, a {{type2|Fire}}. The Pokémon hops up to May and begins rubbing against her leg. She then decides that she will take Torchic as her first Pokémon. Birch gives her six empty [[Poké Ball]]s and a [[Pokédex]]. She makes a few comments about this, Birch wondering what she said before she tries to cover it up.

The next morning May gives a few frowns at her bike, angry that it has been destroyed. She goes to find Ash and scold him, but when she opens the door, she finds Ash still asleep. May softens up and watches as Ash mutters a few things in his sleep and Pikachu awakens. The Pokémon then wakes up Ash, causing both to be happy that they're both okay. May then realizes that her bike can wait.

Outside, May releases Torchic and Ash soon comes outside. May greets him and Pikachu hops off of Ash to meet Torchic. The two Pokémon soon play around, Ash commenting Pikachu sure can make friends with anyone. Birch and Joshua soon tell them that they have to go to [[Oldale Town]]'s Pokémon Center to register for the league. May makes a few remarks about going alone. Then she purposely says she would, but Ash's Pikachu ruined her bike. May asks Ash if she could tag along with him, and Ash says okay. And soon they head off for Oldale Town.

==Trivia==

* ''[[Because the Sky is There]]'' replaces ''[[Pokettari Monsutari]]'' as the ending.
* Pokémon Advanced starts using kanji in the episode titles.
* Ash starts his journey in Hoenn much like he did in Kanto, with a rather hurt Pikachu.
* Pikachu manages to destroy May's bike in a similar way he destroyed Misty's.
* The bumpers feature Ash and May.
* This episode aired in Japan on the same day as {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} were released there, and aired dubbed two days before their release in North America, despite the fact that at that point in the dub, [[EP238]] had only just aired, leaving 36 more Johto episodes to air to catch up to the rest of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.
===Errors===
* Although Ash and Pikachu came to [[Littleroot Town]] using a boat, both the {{pkmn|anime}} as well as [[Generation III]] [[Hoenn]] maps show that there's no water surrounding Littleroot Town. This may, however, be simply because they wanted Ash to start his Hoenn journey in Littleroot Town, just as in the games.
* When May was climbing the mountain with her bike, after she hit the tree, she had long sleeves. May wears short sleeves.

===Dub edits===
* This episode was first aired on Kids WB as as a sneak peek in March 2003 when {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} were released. The version that has aired since has a slight difference in May's introductory speech:
** Sneak Peek: "But just between you and I, what I'm more interested in is traveling and seeing new places." [screams as her bike goes down the hill]
** Regular version: "But just between you and me, what I'm more interested in is traveling and seeing new places. There it is, Littleroot Town, up ahead!" [screams as her bike goes down the hill]
* The only piece of music kept from the original is the new theme for Team Rocket's motto.
* While the original version does not feature [[Who's That Pokémon?]] from this episode, 4Kids keeps it before replacing it with [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] in ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]''.

'''Pokémon: Master Quest''' is the name of the fifth season of the [[Pokémon anime]], consisting of the remaining episodes of the {{series|Original}}, except one. The 65-episode season showcases the final adventures of {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]], and briefly [[Ritchie]] in the [[Johto|Johto region]], from the [[Whirl Islands]] to [[Mt. Silver]].

It originally aired as part of the 2002-2003 [[Kids' WB!]] Saturday morning line-up. The season began with ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'', which originally aired on September 14, 2002, and ended with ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]'', which originally aired on October 25, 2003. This season skips [[EP250]], which was banned from airing.

Master Quest is the last of the three seasons taking place in the Johto region. It is preceded by [[Johto League Champions]] and followed by [[Pokémon: Advanced]], the first season of the dub of the {{series|Advanced Generation}} which is based on the [[Generation III|Generation III games]]. It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan, where episodes of Pokémon air nearly every Thursday. An invention of the American broadcast industry, a season is typically aired new for nine months out of the year, with three months (usually during the summer) taken off to begin production for the next season, during which reruns air. In Japan, no differentiation is made between this and any other seasons in the original series.

See the [[list of Pokémon: Master Quest episodes]] for a list of episodes aired this season.
