Since I can't edit this, can someone point out that Zorua and Zoroark appear to be based off of the shapshifting kitsune in Japanese folklore? Especially when you compare its reddish facial markings to the red marks that often outline the face in "kitsune" masks? thanks - {{unsigned|Ninja wolf}}

== Zorua? Zoroa? ==

Shouldn't it be added (trivia, perhaps?) that the Katakana spelling of its name says "Zoroa", although the romanization says "Zorua"? [[User:FireMeowth|FireMeowth]] 20:39, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
:I don't see why it can't be put there. [[User:Gizamimi Pichu|Gizamimi Pichu]] 20:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
::Not really notable. {{p|Umbreon}}'s Katakana is phonetically Burakki, while the trademarked romanization is Blacky. It's quite common for the trademarked romanization to be slightly different than the Katakana would be phonetically. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 20:46, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
:::That's not the same thing though. "Burakki" is the closest Japanese equivalent to the name "Blacky", which us the intended name. The name written as "Burakki" is still pronounced "Blacky" even though the individual kana are pronounced differently. With "Zorua", the syllable "ru" is written with the kana for "ro", for no apparent reason. The only logical reason to do this is if the "rua" part comes from a language where "u" is pronounced "o" to preserve the original language's spelling. The thing us, I can't think of any language where this is the case. Either the name "Zorua" is a typo, or they're intentionally misspelling the name. Unless someone can provide a reasonable name origin that warrants this seemingly erroneous spelling or proof that it is indeed a typo, I think we should mention it in the article.--[[User:Numquam Periit Amor|Numquam Periit Amor]] 04:51, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
::::Don't ask us what their reasoning was. They come up with the names in romaji first, it seems, and then katakanify them. See シェイミ and Shaymin. Romanize that and you get SHEIMI, but repeatedly the romaji has been used as SHAYMIN. Same with レジギガス and REGIGAS, not REJIGIGASU. クラブ is CRAB, not KURABU.
::::Official romanization trumps any and all other romanizations. Period. YONOIR, not YONOWAARU, for ヨノワール. Hey, maybe they thought "ZOROA" looked dumb next to "ZOROARK". Don't ''bother'' with the romanizations. We're not dumb; we KNOW how to romanize katakana at least, something that ''so many damn people don't get''. It's in the ''manual of style'' and has '''''its own section'''''. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:16, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::You're not listening to me, jerk. I never insinuated that anyone here doesn't understand katakana. I was merely pointing out that the OFFICIAL ROMANIZATION does not match up with the CORRECT ROMANIZATION. And your examples prove that, while you understand katakana perfectly (aren't you a genius?), you clearly DO NOT understand name origins. ヨノワール is romanized YONOIR instead of YONOWAARU because NOWAARU is the closest equivalent to the French word "NOIR". Same with クラブ, it's romanized CRAB because クラブ is how you write CRAB in Japanese. They always romanize word parts according to the SOURCE LANGUAGE SPELLING. From what I can tell, the RUA in ZORUA is Irish for "red-haired", referring to the red highlights on its fur. But RUA is pronounced ROO-uh, not ROH-uh. Since a name origin for the apparently incorrect romanization has been found, it appears that the ROMANIZATION is correct, but the KATAKANA is wrong. It's just like you said, they came up with the romanization before the katakana. They just put the WRONG katakana. {{unsigned|Numquam Periit Amor}}
::::::Exactly. Say the romanized Japanese name out loud and it sounds just like the English name.

Should we note how Zorua looks a lot like Vulpix? We already compared Zoroark to Ninetales, but these guys look even more similar! [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 16:07, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

== Sprite ==

What's up with the sprite it is really low quality. I'd like to ask if I could upload my own sprite as replacement until the official sprite is revealed. I know it's not important or any thing it's just that the sprite here is said to come from 4-chan meaning it could be any one's sprite. [[User:Roconza]]

:That's funny, considering it's a Dark-type. [[User:Taromon777|'''''Taromon''''']] 11:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Rua is actually an arabic name with the meaning "dreams" or "visions". This may pose some significance. [[User talk:Aggravore|Aggravore]] 22:48, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

== Anime Artwork ==

Should it state that Zorua and also {{p|Zoroark}} has a different colouration in the anime artwork? -- ([[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|''95'']]) 14:26, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

=="Has no pupils"==
Are you sure? (says so in the Physiology section) [[User:PichuMaster|PichuMaster]] 23:07, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

== Evil Fox Pokemon? ==
Should it be noted that Zorua is classified as the Evil Fox Pokemon even though in the anime, they've said a few times that there is no such thing as an evil Pokemon, only evil trainers. Could Zorua and Zoroark be the first? [[User_talk:Kirby Phelps (PK)|Kirby Phelps (PK)]] 1:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
:Nah, it's classified as "Dark Fox" on here... I don't think that's very notable :/ ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 07:50, 4 March 2010 (UTC))

== Movie Debut ==
it says the Zorua is expected to be in the 13th movie, but we all should know that it IS in the 13th movie now, i think it should be changed [[User:CodyDelis|Cody A. Delis]] 19:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
:Expected to premiere. As in, that's ''as far as we know'' going to be its first appearance. There's still a possibility it or another Gen V Pokémon could debut at the Sinnoh League before this, however. The movie's still four months away; that's 16 episodes. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:53, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Yeah just saying, but yes you could be right too.

== Zorua can transform like it's evolution ==

As seen in the updated trailer where it transformed into a {{p|Piplup}}, Zorua CAN transform. Please update the special abilities section. - [[User:050294|050294]] 02:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

== too lazy to think of a subject ==

is there a reason why zoroa and its evolved form were released before the starters of gen 5? {{unsigned|Maximillion}}
:That normally happens for a new generation. .____.

::*We saw Kecleon, Azurill, and Wailmer ''long'' before we saw Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip.
::*We saw Munchlax, Weavile, and Lucario ''long'' before we saw Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup.

:Expected to premiere. As in, that's ''as far as we know'' going to be its first appearance.

I moved Nando up to rivals. If we're includeing Solidad (Who only appeared during the Kanto grand festival) Nando deserves to be up there.

I think we should add him and the other Team Galactic members like Mars, Jupiter and Cyrus. [[User:Impoleon xy]]

== Moved Nando ==

I moved Nando up to rivals. If we're includeing Solidad (Who only appeared during the Kanto grand festival) Nando deserves to be up there. He's been in various episodes and both ash and dawn, as well as zoey to some extent seem to veiw him as a freindly rival. [[User:Lego3400|Lego3400]] 18:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

:Your edit put [[Nando]] out of order compared with the others in that category. You put Nando, who debuted in [[DP004]], after [[Zoey]], who debuted [[DP011|seven episodes later]]. I've went ahead and adjusted it so that Nando comes before Zoey but after [[Paul]], who debuted [[DP002|two episodes earlier]]. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
::Whoops, my bad. I couldn't remember who game first. [[User:Lego3400|Lego3400]] 18:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

== Getting a bit big? ==

I only say this since we get more and more characters every twenty or so episodes. Should it split, or should it stay intact as-is until the end of DP, where we'd reevaluate? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[Image:Ani155MS.gif|Fire echy]]''' 05:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

== Tabitha and Shelly ==

Since we mention Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars, why don't we add Tabitha and Shelly to the template? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Why not? [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 02:18, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:He's more of a gag than anything. He always appears unannounced and for a very short period, and always tries to con someone (usually [[James]]).

He's been in various episodes and both ash and dawn, as well as zoey to some extent seem to veiw him as a freindly rival. [[User:Lego3400|Lego3400]] 18:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

:Your edit put [[Nando]] out of order compared with the others in that category. You put Nando, who debuted in [[DP004]], after [[Zoey]], who debuted [[DP011|seven episodes later]]. I've went ahead and adjusted it so that Nando comes before Zoey but after [[Paul]], who debuted [[DP002|two episodes earlier]]. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
::Whoops, my bad. I couldn't remember who game first. [[User:Lego3400|Lego3400]] 18:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

== Should he? ==

Should Reiji be a supporting character?{{ani|486}}[[User:Pokemaniac102|<big>'''''Poke'''''</big>]][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|'''''Maniac''''']][[Special:Contributions/Pokemaniac102|<big>'''''102'''''</big>]]{{ani|492}} 03:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

== Getting a bit big? ==

I only say this since we get more and more characters every twenty or so episodes. Should it split, or should it stay intact as-is until the end of DP, where we'd reevaluate? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[Image:Ani155MS.gif|Fire echy]]''' 05:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

== Tabitha and Shelly ==

Since we mention Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars, why don't we add Tabitha and Shelly to the template? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Probably right after Archie--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 22:37, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

== Professor Ivy ==

Could someone remove her from the template? She didn't do anything notable to get a place there. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== Magikarp Salesman? ==

Why not? [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 02:18, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:He's more of a gag than anything. He always appears unannounced and for a very short period, and always tries to con someone (usually [[James]]). For all we know, he could next appear in [[DP109]], but he could instead next appear in DP209 or even the equivalent of what would be DP309. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:24, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:The only problem I have there, EspeonA is that when you have section headers along the left hand side, it seems kind of, well, odd, to have a big white space between that and the text. Just my opinion there. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 03:53, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Bulbapedia has [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_PC_Master this information] about the game and Wikipedia has [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokémon_PC_Master this information] about the same game. Which one is correct? I'd assume Wikipedia is correct because I've seen the Japanese version of [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/The_Mastermind_of_Mirage_Pokémon ''The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon''] and in the commercials before the episode started, there was one announcing Pokémon PC Master and it corresponds to what Wikipedia sintectically says about its purpose. It had a [http://www.pokemon-pcmaster.com/ website] but it no longer works -- [http://web.archive.org/web/20071001114406/http://www.pokemon-pcmaster.com/ here] you can find the most recent copy of the website available on the Internet Archive.

== Classification? ==

Something came to my mind a few days ago, how do we classify the Pokémon games? RPG, or JRPG? I mean, technically, they'd be JRPG's right, seeing as they're made in Japan, and not only that but are similar in many ways too other JRPG's. Like the battle systems, the only difference is in most JRPG's you play humans, but in Pokémon you play a human, and through them you command the Pokémon. What do you guys think? [[User:Takoto|~~Takoto]] - [[User_talk:Takoto|サソデイ]] 12:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

:Either way, they're still RPGs; "JRPG" is sort of a sub-category within that. If you made a duplicate of Pokémon in the 'States, it would just be a RPG, not a JRPG (despite sharing all the styles and gameplay). So I think we can just avoid the confusion and/or debate on that topic right there by simply classifying it as an RPG. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 13:18, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

:There is already at least one Spanish Pokémon Wiki already running, [http://poketeca.com/wiki/Portada pokéteca], so for us to create such an extension at this point would just be more work; it's much easier to simply contribute to one of the Spanish Wikis that's already active. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 17:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::The Pokéteca wiki is a wiki in Spanish, but this is not edited by users in Latin America, is edited by users of Spain, so the names of characters (such as May, in Spain is called Aura), and other cities are not the same as used in Latin America. While in Spain they changed the names to the characters, not in Latin America because the Pokémon video games that come to this region come from the United States and remain unchanged. We want a wiki where Spanish is not using the nomenclature given in Spain if not the ones used in Latin America (which are the same as those used in United States). --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonamimaniacolatino]] 18:34, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

:::Last I checked, Wikipedia had only one Spanish variation. Trust me, there is no way to completely satisfy Spanish speakers in all parts of the world with just one wiki.

:::Regardless of how Spanish-language affiliation for [[Encyclopaediae Pokémonis]] turns out (unless there's two Spanish wikis, and even then there'd need to be two different inter-wiki prefixes), there's still going to be focus problems. To avoid complete alienation of a group of Spanish-speakers, be it those in Latin America or those on the Iberian Peninsula, there should at least be redirects from other variations of the language as well as slight mentions of them on the pages, be they Latin America-based redirects on a Spain-focused wiki or Spain-based redirects on a Latin America-based wiki. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:43, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

::::You know that Wikipedia in Spanish used only one classification, which is the United States? is being implemented policies titles convention and use common sense. The names used in the United States are better known than the names of any other country (including Spain) and why this is being implemented. To redirect and put other things besides just the people of Spain is foolish for them not only is Spain and Latin America. The main idea of a wiki is in Spanish that is targeted for the whole world (not just Latin America and Spain, although the latter always change the names) and nomenclature used is the same as used Bulbapedia, the United States. --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonamimaniacolatino]] 19:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

:::::Pokéteca besides, there is another wiki in spanish called [http://es.pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/WikiDex Wikidex] , but like the first, is a wiki Wikidex edited by users of Spain, so their contents only revolves around them (apparently they do not know that there Latin America). Bulbapedia that would be good to do a version of yourself in Spanish or even better make another wiki in Spanish but with the same format as the bulbapedia (with the same names of characters, places, etc.) and not use anything that has to do with Spain and forming part of [[Encyclopaediae Pokémonis]]. --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonamimaniacolatino]] 21:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

I've seen on a few move pages, like [[Frustration]], that "'''All''' Pokémon that can learn TMs can learn this move", so wouldn't it be a good idea to have a list or category of all pokémon that can learn TMs, and conversely a list or category of pokémon that can't learn TMs (like Magikarp).

:There is already at least one Spanish Pokémon Wiki already running, [http://poketeca.com/wiki/Portada pokéteca], so for us to create such an extension at this point would just be more work; it's much easier to simply contribute to one of the Spanish Wikis that's already active. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 17:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::The Pokéteca wiki is a wiki in Spanish, but this is not edited by users in Latin America, is edited by users of Spain, so the names of characters (such as May, in Spain is called Aura), and other cities are not the same as used in Latin America. While in Spain they changed the names to the characters, not in Latin America because the Pokémon video games that come to this region come from the United States and remain unchanged. We want a wiki where Spanish is not using the nomenclature given in Spain if not the ones used in Latin America (which are the same as those used in United States). --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonamimaniacolatino]] 18:34, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

:::Last I checked, Wikipedia had only one Spanish variation. Trust me, there is no way to completely satisfy Spanish speakers in all parts of the world with just one wiki.

:::Regardless of how Spanish-language affiliation for [[Encyclopaediae Pokémonis]] turns out (unless there's two Spanish wikis, and even then there'd need to be two different inter-wiki prefixes), there's still going to be focus problems. To avoid complete alienation of a group of Spanish-speakers, be it those in Latin America or those on the Iberian Peninsula, there should at least be redirects from other variations of the language as well as slight mentions of them on the pages, be they Latin America-based redirects on a Spain-focused wiki or Spain-based redirects on a Latin America-based wiki. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:43, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

::::You know that Wikipedia in Spanish used only one classification, which is the United States? is being implemented policies titles convention and use common sense. The names used in the United States are better known than the names of any other country (including Spain) and why this is being implemented. To redirect and put other things besides just the people of Spain is foolish for them not only is Spain and Latin America. The main idea of a wiki is in Spanish that is targeted for the whole world (not just Latin America and Spain, although the latter always change the names) and nomenclature used is the same as used Bulbapedia, the United States. --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonamimaniacolatino]] 19:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

:::::Pokéteca besides, there is another wiki in spanish called [http://es.pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/WikiDex Wikidex] , but like the first, is a wiki Wikidex edited by users of Spain, so their contents only revolves around them (apparently they do not know that there Latin America). Bulbapedia that would be good to do a version of yourself in Spanish or even better make another wiki in Spanish but with the same format as the bulbapedia (with the same names of characters, places, etc.) and not use anything that has to do with Spain and forming part of [[Encyclopaediae Pokémonis]]. --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonamimaniacolatino]] 21:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

== Pokémon that can learn TMs ==

I've seen on a few move pages, like [[Frustration]], that "'''All''' Pokémon that can learn TMs can learn this move", so wouldn't it be a good idea to have a list or category of all pokémon that can learn TMs, and conversely a list or category of pokémon that can't learn TMs (like Magikarp).

'''Pokémon Pinball''' is a spin-off pinball game for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It includes a rumble pack to provide vibration which runs on a single 1.5v AAA battery. It takes all the mechanics of regular pinball, with some Pokémon aspects added in. There are two fields, the Red Field and the Blue Field, obviously named after the Pokémon games. The field affects on each slightly differ. For instance, on the Red Field, the player can hit the ball right into the area to enter Catch 'em! Mode or Evolution Mode, while in the Blue Field, while it passes through a certain area it can randomly get thrown into either one, or neither. Also, the Pokémon catchable and that are always on the field are different.

The game mechanics of Pokémon Pinball were built upon in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

==Catch 'em! Mode==
In Catch 'em! Mode, the player enters by lighting up two or three "GET" lights by letting the ball pass a certain tab. If the player lights up three lights, he/she gets different Pokémon than if he/she lighted up two. When it starts, a Pokémon silhouette appears in the middle of the lower field, and the player must hit the bumpers to gradually turn all six pieces of it into color. Once that is done, the actual Pokémon appears there. Then the player must hit it three times to light up what says "CATCH!" two letters at a time. Once the player has caught it, he/she can evolve it in Evolution Mode. It also lights up one Poké Ball out of three which lets him/her reach the next Bonus Stage. The player has two minutes to complete Catch 'em! Mode.

==Evolution Mode==
Evolution mode is only accessible if the player has caught at least one Pokémon in Catch 'em! Mode that has not yet evolved to its final form. The player also has to light up three "EVO" lights activated in the same way as the GET lights. The player has to hit a spot where an arrow is pointing to on the field. Then, depending on how the Pokémon evolves, the player has to have the ball hit either an "EX" for EXP., an evolution stone, or a link cable. The player has to do this three times, but occasionally the Pokémon can get tired and the player will have to wait a bit before an arrow appears again. Once the player is done, the player still has to get the ball into a hole to complete Evolution Mode.

==Trivia==
* On the Blue field, the main music played in the background noticably resembles that of [[Ecruteak City]] in Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Also, the Catch 'em! Mode music in the Red Field is based off of the music that plays when one is riding one's [[bicycle]] in Red, Blue, and Yellow.
* The Catch 'em! Mode music in the Blue Field is an instrumental version of the first opening song of the animation; "[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|Mezase! Pokémon Master]]".

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{Bulbapedia|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of Userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Just wait until tomorrow, ok?

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{bp|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 03:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
==Hold on!==
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the <code>User:</code> namespace too much for now. Please do not edit your page any more for now. Thank you. --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 03:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{Bulbapedia|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 11:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

==Stop.==
Do not edit the <code>User:</code> namespace any more. In the past, we were not allowed to edit our pages ''at all'' because of users over-editing their pages. If you edit your page any more without making some edits to the mainspace, then the privilege for you to edit it the userspace will be removed. --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 11:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{Bulbapedia|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of Userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Just wait until tomorrow, ok?

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{Bulbapedia|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 11:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

==Stop.==
Do not edit the <code>User:</code> namespace any more. In the past, we were not allowed to edit our pages ''at all'' because of users over-editing their pages. If you edit your page any more without making some edits to the mainspace, then the privilege for you to edit it the userspace will be removed. --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 11:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]-[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 11:26, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

==Hey==
I noticed you've made many edits on your Userspace, but unfortunately you've done over the limit, According to our [[Bulbapedia:Userspace policy|policy]] you're only allowed four edits. Instead of making numerous edits to check your page, why not use the preview button. --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]-[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 11:16, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

==Again==
Like I said, You gone over the limit and you've ignored that, therefore this is your second warning, Refrain from editing the <code>User:</code> namespace too much. --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]-[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 11:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

==Final Warning==
This is your final warning. If you edit the <code>User:</code> namespace again, you'll probably won't be able to edit it again, so stop or you will lose the ability to edit. --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]-[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 11:22, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{Bulbapedia|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of Userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Just wait until tomorrow, ok? Thanks! --[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]-[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 14:29, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing. One question: what's happening to the XD/Colo data? — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 11:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
:That's the thing, You see how the location table looks like this:
:<center>Route 115 (R/S/E), Silph Co. (Fr/LG)</center>
:I want it to be in seperate sections (Hoenn, Kanto/Sevii Isle., Col/XD etc..) instead of one wide section. is there anyway of doing this without riging the table? or do we live by that?--[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 12:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{Bulbapedia|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more.

'''The Breeding Center Secret''' (Japanese: '''そだてやのひみつ！''' ''The Secret of the Breeding Center!'') is the 57th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 6, 1998 and in the United States on May 1, 1999.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}

{{Ash}}, [[Misty]], [[Brock]] and [[Todd Snap|Todd]] are taking a break in the middle of a city when they see a commercial for a [[Pokémon]] breeding center. Thinking it might be an interesting place to visit, they head off to locate it. Misty decides to drop off her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} at the breeding center in order to get its eyes fixed. Ash believes that Misty is planning on leaving the Pokémon at the center, but she tells him that no matter how annoying it is, she'll keep it.

After leaving the breeding center, Todd notices a sign in a restaurant, advertising an all-you-can-eat meal for free. He believes that there is a catch, but the group heads in regardless. The owner tells the kids that he will give them a free meal if they can guess and show him his favorite Pokémon. Everyone releases all of their Pokémon, but the owner tells them none are his favorite. He then pulls out a picture of a Psyduck. Shocked, Misty asks him if the restaurant will still be open later in the evening. The owner informs her that he will be, and the group heads back to the breeding center, only to find it closed. Todd tells her they could wait until tomorrow, but Misty angrily tells him she wants to get Psyduck then and there. Snooping around the back, they find a secret entrance and walks in.

Misty and the others are shocked to discover all the Pokémon in cages. They also find a conveyor belt leading into another room. Unknown to them, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] are in the other room deciding on which Pokémon to give to [[Giovanni]].

== Trivia ==
* This is the last episode to play the [[Pokérap]].
* This episode is followed by different episodes between the original Japanese version and dubbed versions. The episode is followed by ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' in the original Japanese version and by ''[[EP052|Princess Versus Princess]]'' in the dub.
* The Psyduck-loving Chef later makes a cameo appearance in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]'' (He's the chef who mentions how a customer ({{Delia}}) was never able to work in the chefs area before)
* [[James]] asks [[Jessie]] who [[Cassidy]] is and if she knows her. This would later become contradictory to the events in ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'' where James would have known who Cassidy was because they were in a competition against each other.
* [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]]'s motto is said for the first time.
* [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] addresses James as "James Bond" one point. Incidentally, this episode aired six months prior to the release of the 19th film in the James Bond series, {{wp|The World is Not Enough}}.

== Trivia ==
* In the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' Pikachu has no problem having his picture taken but in this episode, when Todd Snap tries to take its picture, it gets upset. Possibly because it was prepared in that episode, unlike this one, where it's a surprise.
*When Todd is trying to take a picture of Pikachu, Ash mistakes his camera for a sniper, which he imagines shooting Brock. This is the first time a character is seen dying in the anime, though it is not real.
=== Errors ===
=== Dub edits ===
* 4Kids originally dubbed the episode with Tohru's name being "Snap," just like the character in the [[Pokémon Snap]] game. However, when it aired in the U.S., Snap's name was changed to "Todd" for the [[Kids' WB!]] airing. The reason for the name change was because 4Kids didn't want to get into legal trouble with [[wp:Kellogg's|Kellogg's]] for using the name "Snap" (since "Snap" is one of the characters associated with [[wp:Rice Krispies|Rice Krispies]]). However, in every other English version of the episode, his name is Snap. Oddly enough, because [[Cartoon Network]] has rights to air any Pokémon episode (because [[Kids' WB!]] doesn't air them anymore), they used the Todd version instead of the Snap version like they always did back in 2003.
* The dub has Brock refer to onigiri as "rice balls".
* One joke that only makes sense in the Japanese version is Ash thinks that Todd said "Kamex" instead of "kamera", which is why Todd is wearing a Blastoise mask. The English version changes this to make Ash think that Todd said "Pokémon Masker" instead of "Pokémon Photo Master".

'''The Ultimate Test''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンけんていしけん!?''' ''Pokémon Certification Test!?'') is the 56th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 30, 1998 and in the United States on April 24, 1999.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}}, [[Misty]], [[Brock]], [[Todd]], {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} are enjoying a nice lunch until Misty points out that Ash has not won a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] in a while. After nearly choking on his food and washing it down with a glass of water, Ash claims he wins all his battles with skill, and then challenges Misty to a {{g|battle}}. Todd steps in, takes pictures of Pikachu, then tells Ash that he should take the Pokémon League Admissions Exam.

The group arrives at the Pokémon League Admissions Exam building so Ash signs up and gets the testing number 7. Nearby, [[Jessie]], disguised as a schoolgirl, complains that she didn't get number 7, causing Ash to briefly suspect her. Then, [[Nurse Joy]] enters and Brock follows her. Ash then is told by the head instructor to leave all his [[Poké Ball]]s at the counter, as well as temporarily leave Pikachu in Misty's care. Shortly, Nurse Joy tells Ash, Misty, and Brock that she signed up for the exam to become a {{g|Master}}. Soon after, [[James]] walks in, disguised as a schoolboy with glasses, but quickly heads for the counter once Ash sees him. When the head instructor reads James's registration form and calls out his name, James tells him to keep quiet. But unfortunately, Jessie hears this and takes James outside. Once outside, Jessie takes off her glasses and asks James what he is doing there. James confidently says that he too wants to become a Pokémon Master, as well as ask Jessie what ''she's'' doing here. Jessie explains that she wants to add another talent to her collection. Suddenly, {{MTR}} shows up and scratches both their faces. James quickly throws Meowth a ball of yarn, then runs off with Jessie back inside for the exam.

The first exam tests a person's knowledge of [[Pokémon]], where they answer true or false questions. Ash does his best to answer each of the questions correctly. At the {{p|Magikarp}} question, James becomes angry because of the time he had that {{TP|James|Magikarp|Gyarados}}, as well as notice Jessie giving each question a "true" answer, hoping that she gets half of them right.

The second exam tests a person's ability to recognize Pokémon. The Pokémon to recognize on the screen looks like a ball. Ash think it's a {{p|Voltorb}}, James thinks it's a Poké Ball, and Jessie thinks it's an {{p|Electrode}}. The head instructor reveals the answer: a {{p|Jigglypuff}} seen from above. The next Pokémon to recognize looks like a swirl. Ash guesses it's a {{p|Poliwhirl}}, James believes it's a {{p|Omanyte}}, and Jessie guesses it's an {{p|Arbok}} when it's all coiled up. Unfortunately, the correct answer is a {{p|Poliwag}}. The next Pokémon for all the students to guess has a fiery tail, and Ash guesses it's a {{p|Charmander}}, but the right answer was {{p|Ponyta}}. A furious Jessie demands that she be asked easier questions, and the head instructor expels her. Once outside, Jessie wakes up Meowth and says that they're going to get revenge.

When the scoreboard comes down, Ash wonders where his score is. Misty points out that Ash's score is on the scoreboard for all the students who got the lowest scores, as Todd takes a picture, much to Ash's chagrin. Meanwhile, James stands alone in a corner, vowing that he will try extra hard for Jessie.

The third exam involves Pokémon battles, as Nurse Joy uses a {{p|Squirtle}} against a fellow instructor's Charmander. Next, the head instructor tells Ash and James that they each have to select a belt of three Poké Balls, even though they don't know what Pokémon are inside them. They choose their belts, and James is up first against the head instructor. The first Pokémon James sends out is a Pikachu, as the head instructor sends out a {{p|Graveler}}. James commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the attack doesn't work on Graveler. Then, Graveler sends Pikachu flying with a {{m|Tackle}}. James then sends out an {{p|Ivysaur}} and a {{p|Charizard}} at the same time. But unfortunately, the head instructor expels James for bringing out two Pokémon at once.

It is Ash's turn to face the head instructor, who sends out a {{p|Flareon}}. Ash pulls out his first Poké Ball, which reveals a {{p|Weezing}}. Flareon uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, and Ash tells Weezing to dodge and counter with {{m|Smog}}. Flareon uses {{m|Leer}}, but Weezing knocks him down with a {{m|SmokeScreen}} followed by a Tackle. Next, the head instructor sends out a {{p|Jolteon}}, and Ash sends out an Arbok. Jolteon uses {{m|Agility}}, but Arbok stops it with {{m|Glare}}. Then, Arbok uses {{m|Wrap}} but gets hurt by Jolteon's spikes. For the final round, Ash opens his last Poké Ball to reveal a {{p|Meowth}}, while the head instructor sends out a {{p|Vaporeon}}. Meowth tries {{m|Fury Swipes}}, but gets {{status|Freeze|frozen}} in its tracks when Vaporeon uses {{m|Ice Beam}}, giving the victory to the head instructor. Team Rocket's Meowth scratches Ash's face and frees his fellow Meowth. The head instructor is impressed by the talking Meowth, so he goes to capture him. However, [[Team Rocket]] returns with James's Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Charizard. The head instructor demands that they return those Pokémon immediately. Jessie and James then say their {{TP|Team Rocket|motto}}s and remove their disguises. Then, Team Rocket orders Ivysaur to use {{m|Vine Whip}}, Charizard to use Flamethrower, and Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder}}. Before the Pokémon attack, the head instructor orders them to about-face, causing Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Charizard to attack Team Rocket. Ash realizes that those Pokémon listened to the head instructor because he {{pkmn|training|raised}} them. Then, Ash orders his Meowth, Weezing, and Arbok to also stop Team Rocket. Weezing uses {{m|Explosion}}, sending Team Rocket blasting off again.

Back inside the PLAE building, the head instructor tells the whole class that due to Team Rocket's interference, they have to do the entire exam all over again. The head instructor then offers Ash another chance to pass the test, but Ash refuses, saying that he's better off winning Gym Badges from [[Gym Leader]]s. Misty is now convinced that Ash ''has'' got skill. A short time later, as Ash, Misty, and Brock say goodbye to the head instructor and Nurse Joy before heading off for [[Cinnabar Island]], Todd comes up to Nurse Joy with one of the two Meowth that got hurt in the Explosion. The Meowth then talks, revealing that it is Team Rocket's Meowth. Meanwhile, as Jessie and James vow revenge on Ash and his friends, they quickly discover that they ended up with the wrong Meowth.

== Trivia ==
* The Pokémon Ash uses in the exam are the same species as those that [[Team Rocket]] uses to battle him outside of it: {{p|Arbok}}, {{p|Weezing}}, and {{p|Meowth}}. James does almost the same, in reverse: he gets a {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} to use; it would have been an exact correlation had [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] not refuse to evolve [[EP051|five episodes prior]].
* This is one episode where Charizard doesn't keep its Japanese voice and its voice is provided by [[Eric Stuart]].
* According to the dub, Jessie is 17 years old. It is not known how accurate this is.
** Interestingly, in this same episode, she also mentions that she desires to ace the exam for a college resume, which may lead credence to her being 17.
* James receives the a similar team to the one that [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Pokémon Trainer]] has in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], except with a Pikachu instead of a Squirtle.
* Jessie and James combined were given the lowest score on the exam, and Ash was given the second lowest score in the exam. If Jessie and James were separated, then Ash would have gotten the third lowest score, James would have gotten the second lowest score, and Jessie would have gotten the lowest score.
*This marks the only appearance in the series (so far) of a {{p|Weezing}} other than the one [[James' Weezing|belonging to James]].

=== Errors ===
[[Image:EP056error1.png|left|thumb|Shiny Weedle?]]
[[Image:EP056error2.png|right|thumb|Coloring error]]
*The instructor shows an image of a {{p|Poliwrath}} and {{p|Poliwag}} but calls them {{p|Poliwhirl}} and Poliwag.
*The instructor says {{type2|Electric}} moves don't work on {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, in reference to Pikachu's Thunderbolt failing to affect his {{p|Graveler}}. In actuality, Electric moves don't work on {{type2|Ground}}s, which Graveler is also, but have normal effectiveness on Rock-types.
*In one scene where the gang talks to [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Todd Snap|Todd]] takes pictures of Pokémon, there is a trainer with a green-colored {{p|Weedle}}. Though it may merely be a coloring error, Weedle is green when {{shiny2}} in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} sprites.
*The computer's image of a {{p|Caterpie}} leaves a section of its body colored the purple on the screen.

*This is the last episode to air in Japan before the debut of the first movie ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
*This is the only episode until [[AG039|its final appearance]] to have {{an|Jigglypuff}} sing it song in its entirety without one of the characters falling asleep.
*Oddly, though [[EP035|another episode]] was banned in the US, allegedly for scenes containing firearms, the opening scene in this episode shows a burglar with a pistol. Though, the most likely reason that it was acceptable is because it wasn't pointed at anyone's head.

=== Errors ===
* When [[Jessie]] from [[Team Rocket]] changes into the {{Ash}} costume to try to fool {{AP|Pikachu}}, she comes back and says "Pikachu" under Ash's voice, yet in the next scene, she turns the dial to Ash on her voice changer.

'''The Purr-fect Hero''' (Japanese: '''こどものひだよ！ぜんいんしゅうごう！''' ''It's Children's Day! All Members Gather!'') is the 53rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 9, 1998 and in the United States on September 11, 1999.

The group celebrate [[Kid's Day]] by letting a group of children play with their Pokémon. Meowth has to act like a wild Meowth to be a little boy's hero.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
The episode starts off with {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} walking along a dirt path. They come across a few Pokémon banners and immediately recognize that it's Kids' Day. Suddenly, {{ka|Reiko|someone}} mistakes the trio for the Pokémon Trainers they've been looking for. Once she receives a phone call, she realizes that Ash and company are not the Pokémon Trainers she was searching for. However, after hearing how she wanted to do something special for the children she taught at the pre-school, the trio decides to let the children play with their Pokémon.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] reminisces about Kids' Day. [[James]] always had a great Kids' Day, whereas [[Jessie]] did not.

The episode goes back to Ash and his friends inside the school. The children rush over to play with {{AP|Pikachu}}, who has to be taken away by Ash before it electrocuted the children. [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] also let out their Pokémon, who all began playing with the kids. However, there was one child who was off on his own. This child, {{ka|Timmy}} had no interest in playing with any Pokémon besides {{p|Meowth}}. He further explains that this is due to a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Meowth saving him from a {{p|Beedrill}}. However, the children are in total disbelief and mock him.

Suddenly, a bright van pulls up to the school where Jessie, disguised a magician, convinces the teacher to let her, James, and {{MTR}} do a magic show for the children. She agrees and Team Rocket sets up. They show the children, the gang, and the teacher an empty box, and claim that they need a volunteer. Pikachu is swept up by James who places it into the box. Both Jessie and James chant before tapping the box with a wand. Meowth flies from the box and completes the trick, much to the kid's enjoyment.

The trio try to make their getaway, but are stopped by Ash who demands his Pikachu back. Team Rocket reveals themselves, but are attacked by the overly excited children. They begin to bounce around {{TP|James|Weezing}} before the teacher yells at them to quiet down and leave Team Rocket alone. Getting back down to business, James tells Weezing to use {{m|Smokescreen}} which was able to blind the gang.

Timmy, upon seeing Meowth's distress, rushes over to help, but knocks down the box Meowth was standing on. This also knocks Pikachu out of the box, unbeknownst to everyone else. Team Rocket picks up the box and rushes off to escape. Ash worriedly calls out to Pikachu, but Pikachu is safe and sound inside the school. However, the teacher says that Timmy has gone missing.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket rejoice their capture and open the box, hoping to pull out Pikachu. Instead, they pull Timmy from the box, who proceeds to cry. The tears stop when he sees Meowth. He runs over to Meowth, thanking him for saving his life from the wild Beedrill. Meowth was about to tell him he had the wrong Pokémon, but Jessie and James convince Meowth to go along with the kid to avoid crushing his feelings.

Putting on act, Jessie and James act like they wanted to do harm to Timmy. Meowth jumps in front of him and uses {{m|Fury Swipes}} to knock Jessie and James down. Meowth grabs Timmy's hand and makes a run for it. They come running back to the school, surprising everyone. The children see Meowth and apologize for not believing Timmy's story in the first place and Timmy accepts their apologies and allows them to play with Meowth, who relishes in the attention.

Meowth accidentally lets some human speech slip from his mouth, getting Misty to call him out. In desperation, he made a run for it, much to the dismay of Timmy and his classmates. Timmy chases after Meowth, followed by everyone else. Meowth is able to make it back to Team Rocket, but he is followed by everyone. Team Rocket recites their motto once more and challenges Ash to a battle. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} while James sends out his Weezing. Ash calls his {{AP|Pidgeotto}} out and Brock helps by using {{TP|Brock|Onix}}.

Weezing uses {{m|Smog}}, which is easily blown away by Pidgeotto's {{m|Gust}}, along with Weezing itself. Arbok, however, escapes by using {{m|Dig}}. Arbok popped up in front of the gang, but was {{m|Tackle|tackled}} by Onix. This tackle causes part of the rock on the cliff Arbok slammed into to crumble and roll. Everyone was able to escape with the exception of Ash and Timmy. However, a wild Meowth came out of nowhere, kicking the boulder in two and saving their lives. Timmy immediately recognizes this Meowth as the one that had saved him before.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is running atop a second boulder, disappearing from sight while chasing their Meowth, unable to stop rolling.

Once back at the school, the teacher thanks Ash and his friends for all their help. Timmy proclaims he's going to become a Pokémon Trainer as well, hinting that the wild Meowth was now his. Finally, our heroes say goodbye to their new friends.

'''Who Gets to Keep Togepi?''' (Japanese: '''トゲピーはだれのもの !?''' ''Who Gets to Keep Togepi!?'') is the 50th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 25, 1998, and in the United States on March 27, 1999.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
As this story begins, {{ashfr|our heroes}} are sitting in the [[Pokémon Center]] playing when {{Ash}} gets a phone call from [[Professor Oak]] on the PC phone. Professor Oak appears on the screen and so does [[Ash's Muk]], the Pokémon Professor very displeased with Ash's Muk as it has climbed all over him and spoiling his new lab coat. Professor Oak informs Ash that his [[Pokédex]] is now upgradeable and tells Ash of how he can do so. Ash follows the directions and places his Pokédex into the small slot on the computer. They go back to a table and talk about the [[Pokémon]] that they wish would hatch out of the mysterious {{pkmn|egg}} that Ash found [[EP046|back at the Pokémon Fossil Canyon]]. Naturally they all say their favorite Pokémon, Misty choosing a {{type2|Water}} and Brock choosing a {{type2|Rock}}.

After that, they leave the Pokémon Center and head outside where they find [[Team Rocket]] posing as egg sellers. They have a whole basketful of eggs, just like Ash's mysterious egg. Team Rocket tries to talk them into trading or buying one of their eggs and when they politely refuse [[Jessie]] and [[James]] resort to throwing all of their fake eggs in the air. The real egg, that Brock was holding, gets taken when there is a mix-up with all the eggs.

Team Rocket run out of site and escape with the real egg! Ash, Misty and Brock are stuck with a fake. Whilst in Team Rockets little hiding shack {{MTR}} takes care of the egg. Whilst it is in his possession, the egg gets its best attention ever. Meowth sleeps with it, sings with it and even eats with it.

The three young adventurers follow a trail of broken red blue and green eggs until they reach the shack in which Team Rocket are hiding. They decide to burst in, even though it may be dangerous, and get the egg back.

They all quickly bust into the shack but unfortunately James is quick to react. He sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}} who gives a {{m|Poison Gas}} [[Move|attack]], making Ash and others cough and gasp for breath. Ash sends out {{AP|Pidgeotto}} and tells it to use a {{m|Gust}} attack to clear away the Poison Gas. They take a lunge for the little white egg. The egg goes up and down much like in a game of football! Through much controversy Pikachu ends up with the egg and gives the egg back to Ash, at that moment the egg begins to break open, beginning to hatch.

Misty, enthralled with what was going on, jumps in pushes everyone out of the way to get a closer look and the newly hatched Pokémon. When she does the egg hatches, revealing a new unidentified Pokémon. Ash and others are all surprised, especially Team Rocket who instantly want to steal it. Ash points his newly updated Pokédex at the Pokémon, identifying it as a {{p|Togepi}}.

Togepi, unlike other Pokémon, will not just like anybody, to Ash's and Brock's disappointment. It chooses Misty! As Misty is the first thing that the Pokémon saw, it thinks that Misty is its mother.

This newly hatched Pokémon causes quite a fuss among the group. Ash feels that he should have it because he found it; Brock feels it should be his because he cared for it before Meowth; Meowth wants it because he looked after it before it hatched, Jessie and James both ''just want it!'' Meowth says to them that they didn't do anything to help in Togepi's growth. Misty feels she should have it, as Togepi likes her best. They all decide to have a Pokémon tournament to decide who should have it. Meowth panics because he has no Pokémon and goes and asks Jessie and James for theirs. They refuse as he didn't let them participate, Meowth then remembers that he is a Pokémon and decides to battle for himself. After the draw ends up between Misty and Ash, the first battle since [[Cerulean City]]. Of course everybody's favorite trainer, Ash, wins, but because Misty was the first thing that Togepi, saw she gets to keep [[Misty's Togepi|it]].


== Major events ==

== Trivia ==
* This is the third episode in which a Pokémon from a new generation appears. The first two were ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', respectively, in which {{p|Ho-Oh}} appeared.
* When {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} slaps Brock in the back of the head his eyes open.
* This marks one of the few occasions where {{MTR}} is seen in battle.
* The tournament:
** {{MTR}} VS {{TP|Brock|Onix}} - Meowth wins by hitting Onix with two buckets of water and then using {{m|Fury Swipes}} (Brock claims that he cheated when he did that, though considering how there was no rule against it, Brock still lost.)
** {{AP|Bulbasaur}} VS {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} - Ash wins by having Bulbasaur {{m|Tickle}} Psyduck (unable to actually attack Psyduck without giving it a headache). This may have inspired the move that was introduced in [[Generation III]].
** {{MTR}} VS {{AP|Pikachu}} - Ash wins with a simple {{m|Thunderbolt}}
* Even though Ash first owned the egg and won it from the tournament, Togepi chose Misty because it saw her first.
* The dub title is the same as the Japanese title. This also happened with ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.
* When the main characters think what the egg could hatch into, most of them suggest a Pokémon that is not possible to be hatched from an egg at that stage, for example Brock suggesting it to hatch into a Golem. This is most probably though because at the time the episode was aired, Pokémon breeding was not yet possible in any game.

=== Errors ===
* In one scene, Jessie eats toast with her gloves and boots off. The next scene after being attacked, her gloves and boots were back on.
* In its Pokédex entry, Togepi is described as the ''"Egg Pokémon"'' instead of the "Spike Ball Pokémon".

=== Dub edits ===
* The Japanese release states "{{tt|Dr. Okido|Professor Oak}}" on the video card that Ash gets from Nurse Joy. The dub painted it out.

'''Holy Matrimony!''' (Japanese: '''ガーディとコジロウ''' ''{{tt|Gardie and Kojiro|Growlithe and James}}'') is the 48th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 11, 1998, and in the United States on March 13, 1999.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==

{{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] are merrily walking across the countryside until they come across a poster of a young boy who bears a great resemblance to [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]]. Just then, a limousine shows up, and an old man asks the trio if they've seen the boy. Ash answers yes if it was James. Shortly after the old man takes the gang with him in the limo, [[Jessie]], James, and {{MTR}} also show up and look at the poster. Jessie and Meowth are convinced that the boy in the poster ''is'' James, but he denies it. Nevertheless, Team Rocket follow Ash and friends in the same direction.

The old man, who is revealed to be James' butler, tells Ash, Misty, Brock, and {{AP|Pikachu}} all about how James is a millionaire, yet ran away from his home at a young age, as well as show them a huge doghouse that belongs to James' favorite [[Pokémon]], [[Growlie]], as well as a gigantic mansion. Team Rocket have also arrived, yet James isn't very keen.

Once inside the mansion, the butler tells our heroes that James' parents died earlier that morning, and unless he marries his fiancée in 24 hours, all of James' money will go to charity.

As the gang wonder how to find him, Team Rocket fall off the roof, with Jessie and Meowth beating on James because he refuses to get married. Ash tells them to stop, and Brock agrees that it's James' decision on whether he wants to get married or not. James then tells everyone a story of when he died on a cold night with Growlie howling sadly. Everyone else is left crying, except Misty, who yells that the story is false because James is right here. James then makes a run for it, but Jessie and Meowth lasso him back.

A few minutes later, James is wearing a blue suit, and Jessie and Meowth are wearing invisible costumes. They knock on the door, and the butler is pleased to see his master home again. He then takes James up to the room where his "deceased" parents rest in peace. But then, laughing can be heard from inside the coffins - and out jump James' parents, both alive! James knew that they would pull off a trick like this, and he tries to escape, but gets captured immediately. Ash and friends realize that this was all part of a big plan to get James to come home and get married.

Upstairs, James is really frightened to see his future wife, [[Jessiebelle]], who seems to be a dead ringer for Jessie. Then, they head down into the basement, where James's parents tell him that he needs to be taught a lesson for running away from home, as well as tell Jessie and Meowth that they saw them all the time and only pretended to not notice. After having fun cracking her whip at her future husband, Jessiebelle sicks her Pokémon, {{p|Vileplume}}, on James, knocking him out, along with everyone else (except his parents), with {{m|Stun Spore}}. Jessiebelle then vows to force James to become a gentleman even if it kills both of them.

Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, Jessie, and Meowth are then thrown out of the mansion, then hear a pounding on the doghouse door, which is burst open to reveal Growlie, as he rescues James from Jessiebelle and Vileplume.

James, Growlie, and the others hide in the doghouse. Jessie is disgusted by Jessiebelle's behavior, and James explains that Jessiebelle is the real reason why he left home. Ever since the announcement of their engagement, Jessiebelle kept following James everywhere he went. A flashback shows a young James running out of his house with a young Jessiebelle, carrying an {{p|Oddish}}, far behind. As the flashback ends, James admits that if he marries Jessiebelle, it will be the worst mistake of his life. Growlie is the only real friend James has on this stuffy estate. Suddenly, Jessiebelle and Vileplume burst through the wall, sending Jessie and Meowth flying, and a [[Pokémon Battle|battle]] is on. Vileplume tries do another Stun Spore, but Growlie and Pikachu shoot a combination of {{m|Ember}} and a {{m|ThunderShock}} right back at it, causing Jessiebelle and Vileplume to run away in fear.

Jessiebelle knocks James' parents into a pond of {{p|Magikarp}}, leaving them convinced that she's too good for their son. From the bushes, James says goodbye to Growlie and asks it to look after his parents, because James would rather live the free low-life with Team Rocket instead of the upper-crust lifestyle. Growlie howls sadly as James heads off.

Meanwhile, Jessie and Meowth are sad, because they think James got married to Jessiebelle. But then, they hear a familiar voice that says "Prepare for trouble." It is James, flying in the Meowth balloon, and he brings Jessie aboard and they vow to continue their own lifestyle. As Jessie and James look into each other's eyes, Meowth yells that they forgot him.

Finally, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu are being chased by Jessiebelle, who's demanding that they help her find James.

== Trivia ==
* James's faux flashback appears to be based upon Fyodor Dostoevsky's short story, [http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=DosOrph.sgm&images=images/modeng&data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&tag=public&part=all "The Little Orphan."] James (as a small child) is dressed like a street urchin, and dies in front of a painting of a choir of angels on a cold winter night. James recalls that "the boy departed this world" and that "he was found frozen solid." In "The Little Orphan," a young poor boy freezes to death in the cold on Christmas Eve. He wakes up in heaven to find himself surrounded by all the other forgotten children, looking up at the splendor of Jesus' Christmas tree.
* This is one of the few times Brock was easily fooled by a blatant lie told by Team Rocket. He was seen crying in mourning for James when he told the story that he was frozen near a church, and died. This can be considered ironic, since he's considered to be the wisest, most level headed person on the group.

=== Errors ===

Ash tells Pikachu to do electric shock, a non-existing move, instead of thundershock.

=== Dub edits ===
*The poster with James's picture says 尋ね人 ''tazunebito'' (missing person) in the original. This is painted over with "Missing" in the dub.

'''Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ふっかつ!? かせきポケモン！''' ''Resurrection!? Fossil Pokémon!'') is the 46th episode of the {{g|anime}}. It was first broadcast in Japan on May 28, 1998, and in the United States on February 27, 1999.


At a "fossil rush" at a canyon, Team Rocket take the easy route by simply blowing it up. They end up awakening fossil Pokémon including an {{p|Aerodactyl}} that wants to eat Ash for its dinner.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} arrive at a place where they see many people digging for [[fossil]]s. They bump into {{Gary}}. Soon after walking around, they discover [[Team Rocket]] and their plan to blow up the place where the people are digging. Ash refuses to let them do that and sends out {{AP|Squirtle}} to put the flame out. However, the flame keeps going away and Ash has a hard time catching it. As the dynamite is about to blow up, {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|ThunderShock}}, causing the dynamite to blow. Ash, Pikachu, {{MTR}}, [[Jessie]], and [[James]] are trapped in the rubble, and only Squirtle escapes. Down where they are trapped, the four humans and two Pokémon try to find a way to get out, but they are cornered by some Pokémon that were long extinct. They guessed the explosion awakened them. They look angry and attack but suddenly stop and run off. Then the trio sees why. An {{p|Aerodactyl}} appears and swoops up Ash. At the same time, [[Brock's Geodude]] has finally {{m|dig|dug}} a hole in the rubble. They look inside to see Aerodactyl swooping out with Ash. {{AP|Charmeleon}} decides to [[battle]] Aerodactyl as Aerodactyl had earlier annoyed him. In the process, Charmeleon [[evolve]]s into {{p|Charizard}}. Ash is happy as he thinks that Charmeleon evolved to rescue him, but then realizes it is because Charizard wants to battle Aerodactyl and has no thought of rescuing Ash. Soon after, [[Misty]] sees {{an|Jigglypuff}} and tells it to use {{m|Sing}} to make Aerodactyl fall asleep. Jigglypuff agrees and sings immediately and everyone falls asleep. Aerodactyl falls into the rubble and the prehistoric Pokémon go to their slumber again.

== Major events ==
* Ash's Charmeleon evolves into a {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Ash finds a [[Misty's Togepi|Pokémon]] {{pkmn|egg}}.

== Trivia ==
* This episode hints that Pokémon need to defecate upon mention of fossilized Pokémon manure.
* There are two possible {{wp|Indiana Jones}} references in this episode; [[Gary Oak]]'s digging clothes are very similar to Indiana Jones's clothes and when Ash is attempting to put out the fuse lit by Team Rocket, they roll into a boulder, similar to {{wp|Raiders of the Lost Ark}}.
* The events of this episode will be referred to in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''.
=== Errors ===
*When the camera is panning over all of the Pokémon to show their red eyes, Kabuto has the colors of its claws and shell swapped.
*When Charizard fires his Flamethrower at Aerodactyl, the part of his wings that were previously blue turn yellow.
*When Ash falls, asleep, and rolls to the {{p|Togepi}} egg, all of the shapes are red, instead of half red and half blue.
*When Jigglypuff wrote on the cheerleader's faces, the alphabet was used. However, the letters on their faces went in this order: ABCDFE, instead of ABCDEF.

=== Dub edits ===
* The sign at the beginning of the episode states the name of the canyon in the Japanese version. In the dub, the sign is a picture of a pick-axe and shovel.
* The point where Meowth actually lights the fuse is cut in KidsWB! version of the dub. Instead, the camera zooms in to Meowth's face so the lighter isn't seen visibly. This scene aired uncut on the VHS and DVD versions.
* When digging through the rocks, Misty says Ash had better not die on her. In the dub, she reminds him that he still owes her a bike.

'''The Problem with Paras''' (Japanese: '''パラスとパラセクト''' ''Paras and Parasect'') is the 44th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on May 14, 1998, and in the United States on February 13, 1999.

On their way to [[Cinnabar Island]], {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|the others}} meet up with [[Cassandra]] in [[Mossgreen Village]]. While there, she challenges them to a battle, hoping to evolve her {{p|Paras}} into a {{p|Parasect}}.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==

{{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} arrive in [[Mossgreen Village]], a village so small it does not have its own [[Pokémon Center]]. Because of this, Ash and [[Misty]] have no intention of making a stop there, but are forced to do so by [[Brock]], who reveals that they are out of [[potion]]s and [[antidote]]s. Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]], hot on their trail, is about to make their move, but without {{MTR}}, who has fallen ill. Deciding that the loss of Meowth is worth the capture of {{AP|Pikachu}}, they are immediately scolded by a girl, who lashes out at them for abandoning their Pokémon (believing that Jessie and James were Meowth's trainers). She then nurses Meowth back to health, and during this process Meowth has fallen for this girl.

Back with Ash, they arrive at an herbal shop, where Brock intends to buy some medicine. When the old woman there offers something that slightly scares them, she is scolded by the same girl, her granddaughter, named [[Cassandra]]. Brock immediately falls for her, trying to make small talk about how he intends to be the best {{pkmn|breeder}}, but Cassandra parlays the conversation into a [[Pokémon battle]], which Ash accepts. At the battle, Cassandra sends out her {{p|Paras}}, while Pikachu leads off for Ash. However, before the battle, Pikachu tries to make friendly talk (in a show of sportsmanship), but it causes Paras to cower in fear. Meanwhile Team Rocket is spying on the battle, intent on stealing Pikachu, but Meowth is distracted by Cassandra, as he intends to repay her.

Meanwhile, Cassandra admits her ulterior motive in battling: she wants to make this Paras to evolve so that it could use {{p|Parasect}}'s giant mushroom to help develop a miracle Pokémon medicine, but Paras is too cowardly to battle. Agreeing to "throw the battle" by going easy on Paras, the battle goes off to a rocky start when Pikachu fires a small "static bolt" at Paras, knocking it out. While Cassandra tries to get Paras back into shape, Misty implores Ash to try someone else. As Paras is both a {{type2|Bug}} and a {{type2|Grass}}, Ash decides to send out {{AP|Squirtle}}, for which Paras would be at an advantage. However, that does not go too well either, as Squirtle's water, meant to just "sprinkle Paras's mushrooms a little", also manages to knock it out. Desperate to help Paras evolve, Ash sends out {{AP|Charmeleon}}, but Charmeleon refuses to obey, instead opting to fire a full-power {{m|Flamethrower}} at Paras, and then sending it flying with a {{m|Tail Whip}}. This causes Paras to run away. While Ash tries to rein in Charmeleon, wondering why Charmeleon would disobey him when its pre-evolved form would obey, he too is burned in the face by Charmeleon, and Pikachu is forced to knock it out with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

As Paras is running away, it bumps into Meowth, who tries to get [[Jessie]] and [[James]] to loan him {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} to help Paras evolve. Unimpressed by Paras' performance against Ash and disinclined due to Meowth's motivation, they refuse, but Meowth manages to convince them that he could convince Cassandra to become their company mascot, where Jessie and James would be rich from having to manage Meowth's "business ventures". First, Arbok goes off against Paras, but before Arbok can go full-power on it, Meowth intercepts the attack, knocking Arbok down, and leaving Paras to lightly prod Arbok, for which Jessie and James cheer Paras on as if it had scored the knockout. This repeats itself with Weezing and with Meowth, causing Paras to get fired up.

Cassandra, with Ash and company in tow, manage to find Paras up a tree, and because of its visibly different mood, determine that it's raring to go. While Team Rocket is watching from a nearby bush (in the hopes that Ash would help them on their objective), Ash sends out Pikachu to battle again. Paras goads Pikachu closer and manages to prod it in the tail. As Pikachu prepares to retaliate from the cheap shot, it is reminded by Ash to throw the fight, so instead Pikachu falls over, feigning unconsciousness. Ash then sends out Charmeleon to be its next victim, but once again Charmeleon starts to disobey. Cassandra's grandmother warns Ash about Charmeleon not respecting him (and thus he is disinclined to obey), but Charmeleon nevertheless starts towards Paras, and Paras finds itself cowering in fear again. Despite both Ash and company and Team Rocket cheering Paras on (Team Rocket having been burned by Charmeleon in the process), Paras is able to prod Charmeleon in a critical spot just as Charmeleon is unleashing Flamethrower, causing Charmeleon to keel over in pain. This allows Paras to evolve into {{p|Parasect}}. As Team Rocket try to collect their "just reward", however, Charmeleon gets up in time to launch them with another Tail Whip. Intending to attack Ash once again, it is stopped by Parasect's {{m|Spore}} attack, putting it to sleep and allowing Ash to recall it.

As Ash and company leave, Team Rocket drops in, and Meowth is nursed back to health once again. Cassandra is reluctant to let Meowth become the company mascot, not wanting to separate Meowth from Jessie and James, but Meowth does not win the spot anyways, thanks to Cassandra's grandmother having found a {{p|Persian}} instead. As Team Rocket sulks off, their potential riches lost, Cassandra promises to treat the Persian like it was Meowth.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
The gang now find them in town on the same day that the carnival has arrived. [[Brock]] blushes and notes about the girls. Brock and {{Ash}} throw off their coats and join everyone in a dance. [[Misty]] and {{AP|Pikachu}} don't want to and walk away slowly. They go on some rides and eat ice cream, but notices a woman shouting at a [[Melvin|man]] with some {{p|Exeggcute}}. The woman hits the man and says goodbye. Misty goes up to the man and asks if everything is alright. The man asks if Misty will help him. He says its for his magic show. The man reveals his name, Melvin, and hands Misty a flower with flags on it with some [[Pokémon]] pictures on them. Misty says she will help Melvin, but just this once. Next, Misty and Melvin are on a stage with a crowd of four. Then Ash and Brock walk in and Ash comments on Misty's outfit. Then some Exeggcute jump onto a small table on the stage. Ash uses his [[Pokédex]] to check out the Exeggcute. Melvin then starts to juggle with the Exeggcute and the people there (even Misty) think that it is boring. Then Melvin pulls out a wand and a tiny flame comes out. The crowd then falls back and say things like "That was pathetic!" He trys again, and another sort of flame comes out. Misty tells him to be careful, but the sprinklers go off and Melvin gets fired. He wants to give up all his dreams, but Ash and co. give him some tips. He pulls out a wand and flowers come out. The flowers are dead, and his act was also dead (Brock said this when the flowers fell off). Ash then does his own "trick" but it was really just Ash's Pokémon. Ash next says that Melvin's Exeggcute don't do much. The Exeggcute start to use {{m|Hypnosis}} on Ash. Melvin tells the Exeggcute to stop, but Ash says ok. Brock and Misty wonder what is wrong, and Melvin realizes what it was. After that Melvin commands Ash to pull him into the Leaf Forest. They didn't notice a sign warning them that Exeggcute evolve in the Leaf Forest. [[Team Rocket]] see Melvin and start to follow them. Misty then realizes what happened and tells Brock. Brock agrees. Melvin next makes Ash weaken loads of {{p|Exeggutor}} so he can catch them. Team Rocket make an entry and say their motto. Then they tie Melvin up. Melvin's Exeggcute starts to [[evolve]], and uses Hypnosis on Team Rocket and the other Exeggutor. They go off on a rampage towards the town. Pikachu wakes up Ash, and they follow the Exeggutor. After a long battle, {{AP|Charamander|Charizard}} evolves, and the Exeggutor are stopped. The gang leave the town to head towards the next city.

== Trivia ==
*This is the last episode to air in syndication in the USA. Due to this, there was a near four month gap between this episode and ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' as a result of Pokémon being moved to the [[Kids' WB!]] lineup.
*Early in the episode, Ash and Brock don party outfits. Brock's outfit, which has pink frills for the sleeves and the cuffs of the pants, has large similarities to his future ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'' outfit, including the maracas he holds. The outfit from this episode thus may have served as inspiration for the later outfit.
*This is the last episode until ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' where the English title is a direct translation of the Japanese title.
*The reason for the Exeggcute's evolution could be a reaction to the forest. It is named Leaf Forest, and there is a sign that has a picture of an Exeggcute with an arrow pointing towards an Exeggutor. This could mean that the forest can make an Exeggcute evolve. It should also be noted that it explained in Kanji that the forest is filled with radiation from Leaf Stones buried underground.
*This is the first episode in which one of Ash's Pokémon evolves in the same episode as another character's Pokémon.

'''Showdown at Dark City''' (Japanese: '''たいけつ！ポケモンジム！''' ''Showdown! Pokémon Gym!'') is the 42nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 30, 1998, and in the United States on October 29, 1998.

In this episode, Ash and company arrive at Dark City, a town whose residents live in fear of Pokémon Trainers.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==

{{Ash}} [[Ash's friends|and company]] arrive in [[Dark City]], a place where it appears to be a ghost town, much to [[Brock]]'s dismay. They are even more curious to see a parent herding their child off for fear of {{g|Trainer}}s in the area. As Ash and company ponder why that is, {{AP|Pikachu}} is hit by a rock thrown from the roof of a nearby building. When Ash tells Pikachu to retaliate using a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, they hit three kids on the rooftop. When they go apologize to them, however, they get a cold shoulder treatment, as the kids want Ash and company out of the town. The kids, however, are stopped by a local restaurant owner, who invites them to his restaurant.

At the restaurant, while eating lunch (Pikachu, in particular, taking a liking to eating ketchup from the bottle), the restaurant owner explains to Ash and friends, as well as a mysterious patron who had happened to overhear, that Dark City has two rival Pokémon Gyms, the Yas Gym and the Kas Gym. Both Gyms seek official status, but to do so they would need the approval of the Pokémon League inspector, who is scheduled to arrive at any moment. As there could be only one official Gym per city, each gym seeks to eliminate the other before the inspector arrives. The restaurant owner further explains that Pokémon trainers who have neared Dark City are recruited for the cause of either gym. At that moment, fighting between the two Gyms breaks out. As Ash and company watch from the safety of the restaurant, the three note that the fighting is not as much of a {{g|battle}} as it was a gang war. The Yas Gym's {{p|Scyther}} and the Kas Gym's {{p|Electabuzz}} in particular are dispatching the men of the opposing gym with ease.

At that point, the safety of the restaurant is shattered when [[Team Rocket]], hired by the Kas Gym as elite bodyguards, invades the restaurant in disguise and demand food. When they send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} to deal with the restaurant owner when he refuses (due to the Kas Gym having run up a large tab), Ash (with Pikachu) and Misty (with {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}) attempt to intercept Team Rocket, but is beaten by Brock, whose {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} quickly forces Team Rocket out of the restaurant with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. However, Vulpix has garnered the attention of a female Yas Gym recruiter, who tries to recruit Ash and company for their cause. At the advice of [[Misty]] (who claims that taking sides would ruin their reputations as trainers), Ash introduces himself as Tom Ato (after Pikachu's fondness of ketchup), Misty as Ann Chovy, and Brock as Caesar Salad, who, because Brock could never say no to a beautiful girl, takes them to the Yas Gym.

The Yas Leader is introduced to "Tom" and his two "disciples", who proceeds to judge how powerful he is by suddenly releasing his Scyther to attack Pikachu. His {{m|Cut}} attack, however, is blocked by Pikachu's ketchup bottle, squirting Scyther in the eyes with ketchup, blinding it and making it attack its own trainer. Surprised, the Yas Leader recalls Scyther and asks Ash to join him. When asked why the Yas Gym wanted to be an official Gym, the Yas Leader responds that it is simply a means to earn money quickly, as with official Gym status comes prestige and funding. Because Ash does not see this as a worthy cause, he declines. However, the Yas Leader, mad at Ash for refusing, orders his underlings to physically beat him up (making him unable to help anyone else), and they do so by sending out a {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Machoke}}, and {{p|Mankey}} to do so. Ash, aided by Misty and Brock, proceed to make a hasty retreat. Back at the restaurant, Ash is curious as to why he was able to escape the Yas Gym so quickly - and uncovers the answer from his [[PokéDex]]: Scyther and Electabuzz are color-sensitive, and the color red in particular will send the two into an outrage. Knowing this, Ash and company devise a plan to stop the fighting once and for all by defeating both the Yas and Kas forces in one fell swoop.

Once again, fighting breaks out on the streets of Dark City between the Yas and Kas forces. Scyther, using a {{m|Swords Dance}} boosted {{m|Cut}}, manages to destroy Kas forces and city buildings with ease, while Electabuzz and {{m|ThunderPunch}} manages to do the same against the Yas forces. When Ash sees an opening, he tells Misty, Brock, the restaurant owner, and the kids to dump tomato juice (stored in barrels on the roofs of various buildings) on all the trainers, soaking them. This makes Scyther and Electabuzz go into a rage, and they begin to attack their own trainers. The Yas and Kas leaders are at Ash's mercy, and Ash decides to end this by having {{AP|Bulbasaur}} {{m|Vine Whip}} two barrels of tomato juice on Scyther and Electabuzz, soaking both. When the two turn to attack each other (due to the rage), they run into each other, knocking the two out.

When Ash asks whether the two Leaders have learned their lesson and resolved their differences, the two leaders finally agree...to team up and deal with Ash. In response, Ash orders Pikachu to unleash {{m|Thunder}}, shocking both sides. Before any more can be done, however, the mysterious patron appears. The patron reveals herself to be [[Nurse Joy]], the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|Pokémon League inspector]] (and Brock blushes once again upon seeing her), and tells everyone that neither Yas nor Kas deserved to be an official Gym because street fighting would not be tolerated. However, Nurse Joy allows the two Leaders a second chance, and tells the two that Ash would make a fine tutor with regards to how to be a proper Pokémon trainer and how to start over as one united Gym, but even "Tom Ato" is at a loss of words with regards to how to be one. However, Ash does manage to tell the two Leaders to repair all the damage to the city that they had caused.

As Ash leaves Dark City, they are met by the kids again, who had quickly became fans of Pikachu, and as such decide to become Pokémon trainers themselves. Meanwhile, Team Rocket, having been covered in juice just as a building falls on them during the battle, are run out of town by Scyther and Electabuzz in their red-induced rage.

*Ash and his friends decide to use fake names for sake of safety. They are in a restaurant, so they use food as inspiration for their false names. Ash uses the name Tom Ato (a pun of [[wp:tomato|tomato]]) (Japanese: ''Ketchup''), Misty uses the name Ann Chovy (a pun of [[wp:anchovy|anchovy]]) (Japanese: ''Chicken Rice''), and Brock uses the name Caesar Salad (a blatant pun of [[wp:caesar salad|caesar salad]]) (Japanese: ''Curry Rice'').
*Pikachu reveals its fondness for ketchup.
*This episode reveals Electabuzz and Scyther's apparent dislike towards the color red, though ironically, they were both [[version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive to]] Pokémon Red when only the original two games had been released. Their evolutions, {{p|Electivire}} and {{p|Scizor}}, also have some red coloration, with Scizor being nearly completely red in color.
*When the ketchup is poured on the Yas and Kas gym leaders is similar to what happened in the prom scene in the movie [[WP:Carrie|Carrie]].

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

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

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

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

== Trivia ==
* This episode was supposed to air on January 13, 1998.
* The episode aired as a two-hour special (放送再開スペシャル（放送再開スペシャルやっとあえるね！）１時間SP) with ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Good-Bye]]'', when Pokémon came back on the air.
* Pyro offered Brock a {{evostone|Fire Stone}} to evolve Vulpix and Sparky offered Ash, who still has [[EP014|o]][[DP074|ne]], a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} to evolve Pikachu. Misty also has a Pokémon that can evolve by way of evolutionary stone: Staryu, though Rainer never did offer her a {{evostone|Water Stone}}, probably because she already has a Starmie.
* It is heavily implied in one scene, that if an Eevee is evolved using more then one stone, it could be very dangerous. This is still unknown, since Team Rocket didn't get the chance to use all stones at once.
* This episode is one of the times the anime shows animals, as James was holding a lobster.

=== Errors ===
* Misty's Horsea uses {{m|Sludge}} on Jessie, despite Horsea [[anime move errors|not being able to learn Sludge in the games]].
* In the picture that Psyduck takes, Raichu's white belly is orange.
* When Misty comments on how embarrassing Psyduck is, her shorts are all blue. It should have been light blue on the bottom.
* Mikey calls out a second attack against Team Rocket before the first one is ever executed, and calls it "Rage Tackle Attack". Although Eevee can learn Rage and Tackle as separate moves, there is no such thing as "Rage Tackle".

Talk:List of original series episodes

2009-04-28T12:01:54Z

Flex S: /* It may just be my computer, */

How come the original series episode list is "tweaked"? Pallet Party Panic should be Episode 83 but is listed as 81. Snow Way Out and Holiday Hi-Jynx are counted as episodes.

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 17:44, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:I dunno. It'd really mess up all the numbering we have right now... I really personally wonder why HHJ and SWO aren't counted... they were in the original schedule, they just didn't air them when Pokémon came back because they were meant to be aired as some sort of Christmas special, and that's kinda dumb to do in the middle of April. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

::I always thought they were only considered specials and not episodes. I seem to remember years ago several sites not counting them as episodes. And you're right, it would really mess up everything if we moved all of them. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 19:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

::This is discussed in the manual of style. The original reason was so that the numbering lines up with Pokeani, however, things have gotten a little complicated since AG101. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 02:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I really don't think that is a good reason because the fact is that they are still regular episodes and should be noted that way. If they weren't real episodes then why would they be on the boxsets?

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 05:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

:The numbering is based on Japanese broadcasting, so whether or not they are included in American boxsets has no bearing on it. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 09:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

== Can we include a translation of the Japanese titles? ==

I find it silly that we have the English title, the kanji for the Japanese title, but no translation of the Japanese. Is there a way to include both the Kanji and translation of the Japanese episode titles? I would be appreciative and be willing to help if there is someway to get them done quickly (like a team effort or some sort of code). Thanks for any answers. (also included on the talk pages for the list of AG and DP episodes) [[User:Monkeyjb1988|Monkeyjb1988]] 17:47, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
:Ditto for this, see my answer at the AG episode list talk page. UltimateSephiroth ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|user]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|contrib]]) 17:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

== A note on season boundries ==

While title changes usually happen at the start of a season, the start of new regions took more importance for the decision of when the change happens. (Thus, the uneven lengths of the Johto sections.) I don't know where the split between season 1 and season 2 lies but I do know the rest from how the Johto episodes are batched:

*Season 3: The Pokémon Water War -> The Fortune Hunters (The end of Orange + Johto Journeys)
*Season 4: A Goldenrod Opportunity -> Machoke, Machoke Man (Johto League Champions)
*Season 5: Around the Whirlpool -> You're a Star, Larvitar! (Most of Master Quest)
*Season 6: Address Unown -> Watt's with Wattson (The end of Master Quest + Advance)

So keep that in mind with the new template. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 00:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

:The boundary between seasons 1 and 2 is a tricky case. [[EP052]] and [[EP053]] are the first two episodes of season 2, but the [[EP054|four ]][[EP055|episodes ]][[EP056|after]][[EP057|ward]] are the last four episodes of season 1. This is due to dub reordering, probably so [[Todd Snap|Todd]]'s original three-episode arc wasn't split between seasons. As a result, the dub season 1's final five episodes are [[EP051|51]]-54-55-56-57 and season 2's first three episodes are 52-53-[[EP058|58]].

:Keep in mind that the two episodes the dub reordered to the start of season 2 (52 and 53) were reordered ''into'' their place in the Japanese order in the aftermath of the [[EP038]] incident. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 00:55, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

'''Pikachu's Goodbye''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウのもり''' ''Forest of Pikachu'') is the 39th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 16, 1998 and in the United States on November 20, 1998. It was created in response to the [[EP038]] incident, and did not appear in the original schedule.

Notably, it is also, with ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', the first hour-long Pokémon special.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] are resting in the forest. Ash starts to swing on vines, but he slams into a tree. {{AP|Pikachu}} comes over to see if Ash is all right and sees a baby {{p|Pikachu}}. Ash and Pikachu run after it and Misty and Brock follow to see a whole clan of Pikachu and the baby Pikachu. Pikachu says hello but the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pikachu}} get scared and runs off. Pikachu starts to walk away but the baby Pikachu comes over and shakes tails with it. Brock says it must have accepted Ash's Pikachu. Ash runs toward them, yelling that he wants to be part of their group, but he scares them and they run away. The baby Pikachu falls into a river and Ash's Pikachu jumps in to get it. The Pikachu all start joining tails to save them and they succeed.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] sees the Pikachu and decides that they will capture them for the [[Giovanni|boss]].

At night, all the Pikachu start chanting the Pikachu chant. Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} watch and see how happy Pikachu is. Ash is sad but says it is nothing. He stays up while Misty and Brock sleep and sees Pikachu's face in the fire. He thinks maybe Pikachu should be with its own kind. The fire goes out and the Pikachu scream for help. They are captured in a net which is, as [[Jessie]] says, electric-proof. [[James]] shoots a net at Ash and his friends, but they get out of it very easily. Team Rocket starts sailing away with the Pikachu but Ash's Pikachu begins chewing at the net and breaks it. Ash and his friends hold up the net they were captured in and the Pikachu jump in it unharmed. Ash's Pikachu bites a hole in the balloon and Team Rocket blasts off again. Ash starts to walk away without Pikachu and Misty and Brock ask him why. He says Pikachu would be happier here. Pikachu starts following but Ash yells at it to stay behind. He runs away and remembers a lot about Pikachu.

Finally, Ash stops and Misty and Brock catch up to him. Behind Ash, his Pikachu shakes tails with the baby Pikachu and all the wild Pikachu start chanting. Pikachu runs into Ash's arms. Ash is touched and starts to cry. The episode ends with Ash and Pikachu hugging.

'''Around the Whirlpool''' (Japanese: '''うずまきれっとう！あらたなるちょうせん!!''' ''A Chain of Whirlpool Islands! A Renewed Challenge!!'') is the 210th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 9, 2001 and in the United States on September 14, 2002.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the gang}} are going to the [[Whirl Islands]]. Ash boasts about getting his new [[Storm Badge|badge]], but [[Misty]] is dreaming about all the {{type2|Water}} [[Pokémon]] in the ocean and how she wants to be a "Water [[Pokémon Master]]".

The ferry comes across a {{m|whirlpool}}. The gang becomes scared as they see a lot of whirlpools. However, two attendants on the ferry offer them drinks and assure them that it's all right, as they pass through the sea of whirlpools harmlessly (though they look oddly familiar). The gang looks over the rail to see the ship really passing by without trouble. Meanwhile, the attendants are talking to each other and {{MTR}} appears, thus giving away the fact that the "attendants" are [[Team Rocket]]. [[James]] gets a net out and then he tries to snag {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, a bump makes Ash lean over towards Pikachu's place and Ash ends up getting caught. Realization dawns on Ash and the gang that Team Rocket are up to no good, as usual. In a funny twist, Meowth imitates {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} at the end of their {{motto}}. [[Jessie]] and James release their usual picks ({{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}) and use their usual attacks ({{m|Poison Sting}} and {{m|Smog}}, respectively). Ash tries to end it quickly with Pikachu using {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, Jessie has Wobbuffet use {{m|Mirror Coat}} to deflect the attack, thereby causing a massive surge that sends everyone (Team Twerp and Team Rocket) overboard.

Ash and the gang break the surface, but then are horrified to realize that they're being separated from each other by the whirlpools! Misty doesn't panic as she pulls out {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}; Ash gets out {{AP|Totodile}}. They start to make progress getting away from the whirlpool but soon they get dragged in as easily! Just when they are about to get sucked in... something happens. They stopped being dragged in! While floating in the water, they notice a mysterious looking shadow and hear a strange call (This in fact being Lugia). A Pokémon comes after them shortly: a {{p|Corsola}}! The Corsola races towards them then circles around them. Misty wonders what's going on. Soon they are picked up by some tentacles, or possibly a {{p|Tentacruel}}, and soon taken towards a boat. Misty seems to be enjoying herself, but the others seem quite afraid. The Corsola jumps up to [[Professor Elm]], who just happens to be on board.

Professor Elm and Ash spend some time catching up, and Misty admires the Professor's Corsola. He takes a few minutes to explain to Misty about Corsola and its abilities. The captain comes down saying that they'll get to the islands soon, and he gets to know the others. When they do arrive, Misty still is going on about Water Pokémon. Professor Elm suggests that they should enter the [[Whirl Cup]] League. Obviously, Ash and Misty are up for it, Ash because of his desire to [[battle]] and win, and Misty because of (in her opinion) the ideal Pokémon to use, water types. They decide to go to the [[Pokémon Center]] for more information. Meanwhile, Team Rocket wash ashore and talk about their next plan.

[[Nurse Joy]] hands them a guide book and talks about the Whirl Cup for a while. Then Elm's Corsola jumps out and heads off. Misty asks what the Pokémon was doing and Elm replies saying that Corsola loves pools. Misty goes over towards the pool, admiring and observing the Corsola. Elm then shows the map of how the Whirl Cup league works. The Whirl Islands map is similar the [[Orange Islands]]. The Whirl Islands consist of five islands. The first island is near to the mainland, and is easily accessible by boat. Professor Elm offers to take Ash and the gang to the first island on his boat.

On the boat, Elm notices a [[Transportation in Pokémon|balloon]] heading towards them. It's Team Rocket's balloon! They balloon drifts towards the Pokémon Center and they release a net and swipe all the Pokémon in the pool! Ash tells Pikachu to go after them but Misty stops him. Instead, Misty releases {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to battle Team Rocket. Jessie calls out Arbok, which swims towards Staryu. Staryu starts off with a {{m|Swift}} attack, and this hits Arbok, which counters with its own Poison Sting attack. The Arbok's attack is also successful, and it poisons Staryu. Misty recalls Staryu but before she can release another Pokémon from her team, but {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} comes out instead! Psyduck bravely jumps into battle, but has trouble swimming and Misty recalls it. Ash finally gets a chance to fight and Pikachu attempts a Thunderbolt, but James gets out a net launcher and fires it, snagging Pikachu! With Misty and Ash both defeated, Corsola jumps into the water, ready for battle. Elm tells her to do a {{m|Tackle}} attack, however, James releases Weezing and Weezing does a {{m|Sludge}} attack. Corsola manages to dodge all the Sludge attacks and then eventually Tackles Arbok high up in the air, near the balloon. Elm then tells her to execute {{m|Spike Cannon}}. Corsola jumps up out of the water and then fires numerous spikes towards the balloon, cutting up the nets and the balloon, sending Team Rocket blasting off and freeing the other Pokémon.

All's well that end's well, and Misty is still as crazy about Water Types as ever. She seems to want to capture a Corsola badly. The gang soon heads off to the first city of Whirl Island to start off the Whirl Cup!

== Trivia ==
* This is the first episode of the thirteen-part Whirl Islands arc.
* This episode was initially going to be titled '''A Whirlpool Affair'''.
=== Errors ===
* During part of the episode, Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]]. Jessie tells Wobbuffet to use {{m|Counter}} and the Thunderbolt was deflected. By game standards, Wobbuffet would have been hit with the Thunderbolt because it is a [[special move]] and Counter only deflects [[physical moves]]. It could be possible that Wobbuffet was using {{m|Mirror Coat}}, and the move was mistakenly called Counter.

'''The Joy of Water Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''みずポケモンぎらいのジョーイさん!?カスミのいかり！''' ''The Nurse Joy who Hates Water Pokémon!? {{tt|Kasumi's|Misty's}} Anger!'') is the 206th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 12, 2001 and in the United States on August 24, 2002.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==

{{ashfr|The gang}} stare upon a [[Pokémon Center]] across a fairly large river. It seems to be popular for its specialty of caring {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. As they look, {{AP|Pikachu}} notices something from the water, which a person in a full scuba suit holding a {{p|Goldeen}} comes out. The person speaks to and two {{p|Chansey}} come along with a fish tank. Given the sign, [[Nurse Joy]] is behind the suit. She puts the Goldeen in the tank and the suit opens up the top half part. [[Brock]] does the usual thing he does whenever he encounters a Joy. [[Misty]] seems to look up to her as well, because of the specialty of caring for Water Pokémon. Joy goes off mentioning her work to them, and gives a short admiration of Pikachu for a while.

Soon afterward the Pokémon appear to be fighting, but in reality seemingly {{g|training}} or of some sort. They seem be using the same ability on one another. [[Team Rocket]] is spying on them a little ways, in a [[Team Rocket's Mechas|Tentacruel submarine]]. They plan to get the [[Pokémon]] in the center but is cut short when a {{p|Tentacruel}} mistakes them for another.

Brock gets out a book that has a story written by a Joy, but really it was written by the current Joy's grandmother. She explains that this place used to be a wasteland, inhabitable by anybody and that she was finding out the cause. Brock asks her to sign the book but Joy doesn't want to do so. Brock gets out another book written by a Joy, but that one was Joy's mother. She explains that she helped the {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Muk}} that poisoned the area get out. But seemingly, enough with the small talk, just want to get business over with.

Meanwhile Team Rocket, still in their Tentacruel sub, finds their way into the Pokémon Center via a pipeline.

Pikachu gets a refresher from the healing machine and settles to Ash. Misty wants her Pokémon treated so she asks Joy if she would. Surprisingly, Joy backs away scared, leaving everyone puzzled. She goes off saying that she hates Water Pokémon quite a few times. So finally she explains about what happened. She was out with her mom looking over some Water Pokémon by the river in a boat. A {{p|Remoraid}} pops out and squirts her in the face for a while and Joy (younger one) falls into the water. Joy's mother tries to help but more Remoraid gather around and squirt Joy back up. Joy's Mother tries to tell her that it's alright, but Joy can't seem to get the fright out.

Joy can't seem to help out Misty and Misty is starting to get annoyed by that. But in the mean time, they go over to where most of the Water Pokémon are and take a look around. Scanning around are a Goldeen, a {{p|Tentacool}}, few others and at the end, a {{p|Gyarados}}, who seems to have a "neck" problem.. They are in separate tanks with a large pool in the middle. Misty shudders at Gyarados, but Ash likes Gyarados for its power. Joy agrees with Misty and they go on with that for a while. When all of a sudden, Team Rocket appears from the pool, fooling Ash with the Tentacruel disguises. They go off with their [[Team Rocket's mottos|motto]], being fancy and trying some water acrobatics. Finally they hop back in and attempt to grab Pikachu, but Pikachu dodges. So Team Rocket grabs Pikachu with the rest of the tentacles and try to go off, but Pikachu does {{m|Thunderbolt}}. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] start talking about how obviously this wasn't a good idea and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comes out, starting off a shock to all of them, blowing the sub up. A few pieces of debris fly one hitting Gyarados' tank, another hitting a valve opening to the outside. Team Rocket get flushed out along with Gyarados' water.

Gyarados starts writhing in pain for a while. Joy takes a stand and decides to help out Gyarados for now. She goes up but gets butterflies in her stomach, but she persists. She calms Gyarados down and the Chanseys get another cast for Gyarados and place it on. Soon afterward, Joy collapses from the holding all that shock. Afterward, Joy still says she doesn't like Water Pokémon, but as a Pokémon nurse, she has to try her best. Misty gives her some encouragement and the gang heads off to their destination.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Its universal voice actress is ''[[Ikue Ohtani]]''. However, in some episodes during the first season of the English dub, [[Rachael Lillis]] provided its voice when the original Japanese track couldn't be saved.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[Image:Ash'sHatAG.jpg|left|thumb|{{Ash}} and Pikachu]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} had already been taken by other trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, which did not take a liking to its new trainer. It refused to go into a [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a wild Pokémon, it laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting it from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing it to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu returned to Ash's side.
 
[[Image:Ashs 1st pokeball.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Pikachu's [[Poké Ball]], which has a special lightning bolt mark. Ash carries it around but it hasn't been used since the very first episode.]]
In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', it defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type2|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, it refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using its superior speed. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level." Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very high level Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. It has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to its species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where it was defeated with relative ease by its opponent; for example, it was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Falkner's Pidgeot]], [[Bugsy's Scyther]], [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Clair's Dragonair]], [[Roark's Rampardos]] and [[Fantina's Drifblim]]. It also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel].

Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while it is not always immediately trusting of strangers, it is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. It acted as a guardian and big sibling to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as its clone repeatedly slapped its face.

However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. During the Hoenn Saga, Pikachu developed amnesia at one point and sided with [[Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu was possessed by the Red Orb and controlled by Groudon, nearly causing a disaster. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing it to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. (A similar incident occured with [[Dawn's Pachirisu]].) During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes attack its friends and Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone and Pikachu is always extremely sorry for what happened.

Since Ash's first encounter with [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present it to [[Giovanni|their boss]]. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they try, try, and try some more, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, his friends, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}).

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but it will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far.

Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, mostly due to Ash's ownership of it. It appears on nearly all merchandise and promotional material for the series, and became, due to the anime, the [[version mascot]] of and only [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

Pikachu was also the only Pokémon to come with Ash to [[Hoenn]], and just the same one of only two Pokémon to join Ash on his journey to [[Sinnoh]]. It is worth noting that Ash tried to bring only Pikachu again but {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on board the ship. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. It also learned how to box from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. In Sinnoh, Ash used it during the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]].

In Sinnoh, it defeated [[Roark]]'s Onix in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch. Pikachu battled again the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where it battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados and defeated it with a {{m|Volt Tackle}} to the face. It also battled [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] for a moment, allowing [[Ash's Buizel]] a moment to recover. In ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.

Moves that have been used most recently are italicized.
[[Image:May'sEgg-cellentAdventure.jpg|thumb||175px|Pikachu using Volt Tackle]]
====Moves improvised====
An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in its tail similar to {{m|Tail Whip}} (although Tail Whip doesn't do any damage) was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''

Thunder Armor was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on itself while riding Ash's Swellow. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.

Volt Tail was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}. This is merely a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.

==In the games==
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}} and the [[Generation II]] games also seems to be based off of it. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

==In the manga==
Pikachu has appeared in two mangas based on the anime, namely ''[[Ash & Pikachu]]'' and ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]''. In both, it was Ash's [[starter Pokémon]], much like the [[EP001|first anime episode]], though in ''Electric Tale'', it was found in Ash's house, not given to him by Oak.

==Trivia==
* Ash's Pikachu is the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt ground types with Electric moves (sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder Armor".
* Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn.
* For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[bike]] of [[Misty|a]] {{an|May|particular}} {{an|Dawn|girl}} who would later [[Ash's friends|travel with Ash]].
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Although Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another, ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and [[Paul's Elekid]]) it has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought one-on-one and either tied or lost.
* Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside its Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime.
** [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does.
** Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which it did by defeating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. [[Ash's Charizard]] was the first Pokémon to have achieved this feat, against {{p|Articuno}}. [[Dawn's Buneary]] has also managed to defeat a {{p|Phione}}.

===Pikachu's language===
[[Image:PikachuDP.png|thumb|right|Pikachu]]
Some of Pikachu's speech is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
*PikaPikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], it says this.
*Pi-Kachu: It says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
*Pikachu-Pi: ''[[Misty|Kasumi-chan]]'' (Misty)
*Pika-Chu: ''[[Brock|Takeshi]]'' (Brock)
[[image:Pikachu as ash.png|thumb|left|Pikachu Imitating [[Ash]]]]
*PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staravia|Mukubird]]'' (Staravia) or ''[[Ash's Chimchar|Hikozaru]]'' (Chimchar)
*PiPikachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket). It also says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
*Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as "eiga" (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming [[Pokémon movie]]. Can also be used for "yes".
*Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.
*Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Dawn}} have not been heard.
[[File:Pikachu wobbuffet.png|thumb|Pikachu as a {{p|Wobbuffet}}]]
*Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. It says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.
*Pika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. It says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, "Pika" when charging up and "Chuuuuu" when discharging.
*PikaPikaPika...Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. It says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
*ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*Pikachu will occasionally use pantomime to specify what it is talking about. In particular, it has a face to represent {{AP|Turtwig}}. Pikachu can also mime many other Pokémon which it demonstrated during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]].
*Pikachu has also used his face to tell when a character is in trouble, by imitating people.

===Gender debate===
Pikachu is the most seen Pokémon in the anime and fans have often wondered what gender Pikachu is. While this debate has existed since [[Generation II|gender was introduced]], it recently flared up due to [[gender differences]] being [[Generation IV|introduced in recent games]]. For the sake of neutrality, this article will assume Pikachu's gender is male in the dub only, but unknown until explicitly stated.

*Because there is no indent on Pikachu's tail, many cite this as proof that it is indeed male. Others disagree, noting Pikachu is from [[Kanto]] (which has not yet been shown to have Pikachu with indented tails in the games besides by transferring a Pikachu from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} to Generation IV through Pal Park), and was introduced during the time of the [[Generation I]] games, before gender itself was even known for any Pokémon.
** Some also cite a crush that [[Dawn's Buneary]], who is female, has on Pikachu as proof.
** Also, Ash has, on several occasions, referred to his Pikachu as his "buddy".
**In the song ''[[Pikachu (I Choose You)]]'', Pikachu is referred to as Ash's brother.
**In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfit, while Pikachu is wearing a male kimono. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup and Buneary are female, while Pikachu is male.
**In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', it, {{AP|Turtwig}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} also look embarrassed being in maid outfits, much like Ash himself is, which may indicate that Pikachu, Turtwig, and Piplup are male.
**In the episode ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' Pikachu is carrying the shopping packages with Ash and Brock due to the Princess Festival rules, it may symbolize that he is a male too.
**In Latin America, the pronoun used to refer to Pikachu is 'he'.
**In the episode ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]'', Pikachu isn't in a dress along with the confirmed female Pokémon, but in the band with the confirmed male Ash's Buizel and the unconfirmed Pokémon.
**In the movie ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', after Pikachu dressed up in a clown suit, May asks to the rest of the gang "Doesn't ''he'' look cute?" This is only confirmed in the dub at this point.
**In [[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]], Brock explicitly calls Pikachu "He".
**In the Dutch and German dubs Ash calls Pikachu a boy.
There is also some evidence supporting the theory that Pikachu might be female.
* Gender differences don't seem to apply consistently to Pokémon caught outside [[Sinnoh]].
** Misty has on at least one occasion pictured Pikachu in dresses.
** [[Dawn's Buneary]]'s relation with Pikachu is one sided, meaning the Buneary might not know Pikachu's gender.
** [[Ash's Bayleef]]'s extreme rivalry with Pikachu for Ash might point to Pikachu being female too.

'''Ecruteak City''' ('''エンジュシティ''' ''Enju City'') is located in northern [[Johto]], northeast of [[National Park]], northwest of [[Violet City]], and west of [[Mt. Mortar]], and is surrounded by wooded terrain.

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Ecruteak City in order to win the [[Badge#Fog Badge|Fog Badge]] from [[Morty]], the Ecruteak [[Gym Leader]] who specializes in {{t|Ghost}}-type [[Pokémon]].

Ecruteak is known as "A Historical City Where the Past Meets the Present", a fitting title, reflected in its buildings' traditional Japanese architecture. It has a role in many legends, such as those of {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

In the [[Generation II]] games, it is mentioned that in ancient times, Ho-Oh and Lugia lived in two grand towers. But when one of them burned down, becoming what is known today as the [[Brass Tower|Burned Tower]], both flew away, never to be seen again in Ecruteak.

In the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], Morty tells Ash and company of how in ancient times, Ho-Oh lived in a great tower in Ecruteak. But when war struck and the tower was burned down, it created Raikou, Entei, and Suicune from creatures who had perished in the fire, and all four disappeared. Later, a new tower, [[Tin Tower]], was built, but Ho-Oh never returned.
==Places of interest==
===Kimono Dance Theater===
The Kimono Dance Theater is where the [[Kimono Girl]]s dance and battle. The director will give the player the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}} after defeating the Kimono Girls. Each of the five Kimono Girl has an evolution of {{p|Eevee}}: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, and {{p|Umbreon}}.
===Burned Tower===
{{main|Brass Tower}}
The Brass Tower, with gleaming [[Pokémon Silver Version|silver-colored]] panels, was, according to legend, the perch of {{p|Lugia}}. Once as majestic as the [[Pokémon Gold Version|gold-colored]] Tin Tower, the Brass Tower was burned to the ground after a mysterious fire. This chased the two [[legendary Pokémon]] away, but not before Ho-Oh gave new life to three Pokémon killed when the tower was destroyed: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. {{p|Lugia}} left its home of the Brass Tower to live forevermore in the depths of the [[Whirl Islands]], while Ho-Oh began to fly around the world, searching and waiting for a day when it would find a trainer with a pure heart.

In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]] and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], the player encounters {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, who then flee, for the first time in the burned-out remains of the Brass Tower. This is also where [[Silver (game)|the player's rival]] will challenge him or her once again, with the second form of the [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] he stole.

===Tin Tower===
{{main|Tin Tower}}
The Tin Tower is a location in [[Johto]]. In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], the trainer finally comes to the Tin Tower, holding the [[Rainbow Wing]]. At this point, the player will be allowed to ascend the remaining eight levels of the tower, up to the roof, where Ho-Oh itself waits. However, in [[Pokémon Crystal]], players with a [[Clear Bell]] will be able to capture {{p|Suicune}} here, and only after catching each of the [[legendary beasts]], will a trainer be able to ascend the steps above the first floor to get to Ho-Oh.

Pokémon food

2009-04-22T18:08:30Z

Flex S: /* Berries */

'''Pokémon food''' is a broad term used for almost any food a [[Pokémon]] eats. Despite the variety of both Pokémon and Pokémon food, nearly every Pokémon will eat any kind of Pokémon food. This may mean that the majority of Pokémon are [[wp:Omnivore|omnivorous]]. Several species are even capable of consuming things not normally viewed as edible from a human perspective, such as minerals, electrical energy or even dreams and emotions.

==In the games==
===Standard Pokémon games===
====Bait====
First introduced in the [[Generation I]] games and used in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], this food will make a [[wild Pokémon]] less likely to run away but more difficult to [[Captured Pokémon|catch]]. An unlimited supply of Bait is provided for use in the Safari Zone.

====Berries====
{{main|Berry}}

First introduced in the [[Generation II]] games, berries are a type of item which, unlike [[Potion]]s or [[Vitamin]]s, are portrayed as food rather than {{wp|Medication|medicine}}. A Pokémon may hold this item and, if needed, eat it during a {{pkmn|battle}} to heal itself or cause other effects. In Generation III onwards, these can be planted and harvested by the {{player}}.

====Pokéblocks====
{{main|Pokéblock}}

First introduced in the [[Generation III]] games, Pokéblocks are a type of candy which are blended from berries and given to a Pokémon to raise its condition in several areas. The flavor, level, and feel of the Pokéblock is determined by the ingredients which compose it and how well it is blended.

A Pokémon can only eat a certain number of Pokéblocks before it is full and cannot eat any more. The lower the feel of the Pokéblock, the less it fills the Pokémon up, and the more Pokéblocks a Pokémon can eat.

Pokéblocks can also be put on a feeder in the {{ho|Safari Zone}} to lure [[wild Pokémon]] out. After being there for a while, however, the Pokéblock will eventually be eaten. It can also be used in encounters in the Safari Zone in the same manner as bait.

====Poffin====
{{main|Poffin}}

First introduced in [[Generation IV]], Poffins are similar to Pokéblocks. A Poffin will raise the the condition of a Pokémon in at least one of five categories: Smart, Cute, Tough, Beauty, and Cool. The flavor and feel of a Poffin is still taken into account just as in a Pokéblock. The main difference is that Poffins are pastries and Pokéblocks are candy.

====Honey====
{{main|Honey}}

First introduced in [[Generation IV]], Honey can be slathered onto a Honey Tree to attract wild Pokémon. It works similarly to Pokéblocks in the Safari Zone; it can be placed in a specific location and will disappear (presumably eaten) after some time. However, only one Pokémon can be found on a honey tree for one Honey slathered onto it.

===Other Pokémon games===
[[Image:MeowthEatApple.jpg|frame|200px|right|{{p|Meowth}} eating an apple.]]
====Apples====
In {{g|Snap}}, one of the few [[item]]s provided is Pokémon Food. This is an unlimited supply of apples which [[Todd Snap]] can throw to the [[wild Pokémon]]. Many Pokémon will happily eat the food, and it can be used to lure them to a new spot since they may walk to where the food was thrown. A well-aimed throw may also hit the Pokémon with the apple, causing them to {{DL|Status ailment|flinch}}, [[faint]], or become upset.

[[Professor Oak]] will provide Todd with Pokémon Food upon obtaining a total score of 14,000 points in the {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}.

Different types of [[Food and Gummis|apples]] are available in {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}.

====Poké Snacks====
These are used in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} to lure [[wild Pokémon]] to [[Poké Spot]]s. They look like a slice of a yellow cake, with each slice being one-tenth of the cake. Up to ten can be placed at each Poké Spot.

The [[P☆DA]] monitors the Poké Snacks at each Poké Spot, and will inform [[Michael]] how many are at each Poké Spot and when a wild Pokémon is eating them. If Michael doesn't return to the Poké Spot quickly, the wild Pokémon may eat all the Poké Snacks he had there.

Sometimes a {{p|Munchlax}} will appear at a Poké Spot. When this happens, its {{pkmn|trainer}} will arrive, apologize, and give ten new Poké Snacks for any the Munchlax may have eaten.

====Food and Gummis====
{{main|Food and Gummis}}

There are a variety of different kinds of Pokémon food in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. Examples include various types of gummis (Gold, Green, Black ect.), and other foods such as Berries and apples. Gummis have an effect on the player's IQ, while apples fill up the belly. Berries cause many effects, such as healing the player's HP and stats. All food will have a small effect on the belly as well.

====Sushi====
[[Image:Pokemonfood.jpg|thumb|right|160px|{{p|Aerodactyl}}'s favorite food.]]
In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, a mini-game called "Sushi-Go-Round" features several {{p|Lickitung}} competing in a race against the clock to eat the most pieces of sushi. Some pieces are too spicy for the {{p|Lickitung}}, causing them to momentarily spin around in anguish, stalling them for time.

====Other Food====
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] there are many more different kinds of food than in other Pokémon games. There are foods such as {{wp|cupcake}}s, {{wp|acorn}}s, {{wp|mushroom}}s, {{wp|corn}}, {{wp|carrot}}s, {{wp|onion}}s, {{wp|herbs}}, {{wp|radish}}es, {{wp|apple}}s, and {{wp|banana}}s. Other things are edible even though they are not typically eaten as food, such as {{wp|flowers}} and other {{wp|plants}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:SnoruntApple.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Ash's Snorunt]] eating an apple.]]
[[Image:Slowking Eating.JPG|right|thumb|200px|A {{p|Slowking}} drinking milk from a {{wp|coconut}}.]]
Pokémon food has appeared in the anime as early as ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' as a sort of kibble. Several {{g|Trainer}}s will make their own, especially {{g|Breeder}}s like [[Brock]]. The flavor is not always agreeable with humans, as shown by the fact that [[Seymour]] was able to eat it without any problem, but {{Ash}} tried some and reacted badly. Good Pokémon food tastes great to Pokémon, however.

Brock often offers Pokémon food to try and gain a Pokémon's trust, such as a baby {{p|Stantler}} in ''[[EP125|Little Big Horn]]'', and a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'' which he caught after befriending. Most Pokémon are extremely fond of his food, with the exception of a {{p|Jigglypuff}} in ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'' which outright refused it.

Pokémon are also known to consume food that is meant for people, such as [[rice ball]]s. In fact, some Pokémon, such as [[Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull]], loved to eat these more than anything else. As shown by {{an|Lucario}}, [[Ash's Swellow|Ash's Taillow]] and {{MTR}}, Pokémon are also able to eat chocolate without any ill effects.

==Eating other Pokémon==
In the original Pokémon games and concept, it seems that most Pokémon were more animal-like. As such, wild Pokémon were originally portrayed as eating one another by some sources, in a very animal-like prey-predator system; for example, on [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'s entry for {{p|Pidgeot}}, it is said that "''When they hunt, Pidgeot fly on the surface of the water at top speed to catch unsuspecting Fish element prey like {{p|Magikarp}}.''" The Handbook also lists {{p|Golbat}} as drinking the blood of its enemies, not just the 'energy' it uses when referring to {{m|Leech Life}} in {{p|Zubat}}'s entry.

However, this theme does not seem to have been explored in the anime or the games; it seems the closest thing is found in attacks that steal an opponent's HP. This may be because of moral issues; as the anime and games progress, Pokémon seem to be growing more human, with personalities, etc., and so such behavior might be too close to cannibalism. However, some Pokédex entries still refer to Pokémon preying on each other, or at least sucking life force, as with {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}, who in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, together with Gastly, lick the partner Pokémon until they vanish. The Pokédex entry in {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} also claims that {{p|Taillow}} feed on {{p|Wurmple}} (which is further explored in {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}} when Wurmple of Team Tasty thinks its partner, {{p|Swellow}} will eventually eat it, however Swellow seems mortified at the idea of eating her teammate).

'''James's Gyarados''' (Japanese: '''コジロウのギャラドス''' ''Kojirō's Gyarados'') was the first [[Pokémon]] shown to be [[captured Pokémon|captured]] by [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Its voice actor in both Japanese and English is ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]''. As a Magikarp, it was voiced by [[Maddie Blaustein]] in the English dub.

[[Image:EP016.png|thumb|left|As a {{p|Magikarp}}]]

James purchased his Gyarados as a {{p|Magikarp}} on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]]. While on the ocean liner, the [[Magikarp salesman]] tricked him into buying what he said was a valuable Magikarp inside a gold [[Poké Ball]]. [[Jessie]] told James that Magikarp is a completely useless Pokémon, and {{MTR}} informed James that the Poké Ball was only gold-plated.

When the St. Anne sank, James tried using Magikarp to help them escape, but it only made their situation worse. After finally making it to the surface, Meowth tried to take a bite out of it. His teeth broke off, and James, angry at how useless it was, kicked it into the ocean. The kick caused Magikarp to [[Evolution|evolve]] into Gyarados.

Using {{m|Dragon Rage}}, James's Gyarados and several other Gyarados sent Team Rocket, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} flying. James's Gyarados was never seen again.

==Moves used==
* {{m|Splash}}
* {{m|Dragon Rage}}

==Trivia==
*Gyarados is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character that was released.
*It is also the first of Team Rocket's Pokémon to evolve.
*Gyarados used Dragon Rage almost immediately after evolving. However, in the games, Gyarados learns Bite upon evolving and doesn't learn Dragon Rage until a later level. This may be an example of [[Anime physics]].
*It is both the first {{type2|Water}} and the first {{type2|Flying}} to be owned by James.
*It is the first Pokémon Team Rocket obtains from the [[Magikarp salesman]].

Hi guys! I have 2 thigs to say!
1. I don't understand the last trivia fact about Pikachu being ash's only pokemon... etc, could somebody explain this to me? maybe it's a error and should be erased.
2. We all know that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has never been on its poke ball not even once, well only in ''that'' movie, but my point is that would Ash's still have that poke ball? You know, when he goes to a pokemon center we don't see that unique thunder poke ball of pikachu (because he is always outside of it), so I don't know, why carrying it around if he doesn't use it? if you think this last thing is stupid well then don't pay attention to it. =)[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 18:29, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

== Doesn't he look cute? ==

Um,excuse me,but her exact line was "You look so cute",in the english version. Is that line from another languages version? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 18:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

*sigh* I know exactly what you mean, Rose. In my opinion, we shouldn't be caring anymore.

I'm afraid to say that this gender debate is just... pathetic. It's kind of sad the way this debate has gone on as long as this, as if its an important election. I really need an explanation as to why the large amount of male evidence isn't enough to confirm the gender of a CARTOON mouse. Why do we need someone to tell us? Aipom puts on a dress, and its a female. Pikachu puts on a kimono... OH NO! That doesn't mean its male! Pikachu puts on a maid outfit and looks embarrassed. NOPE! Not yet." Jeez.

The female evidence is absolutely terrible. Buneary not knowing Pikachu's gender? Pokémon can regonise the gender of other Pokémon, as can animals. For example, Pokémon know that they have to be with a mate of the opposite gender to breed, otherwise they will refuse. Therefore if Buneary is female and it wants to mate, then Pikachu being female would be disturbing. And the idea of Misty featuring Pikachu in dresses... it's a joke in Misty's girlish mind. Does this suddenly mean it's female? I bet even if we saw a female Pikachu in the anime with a heart-shaped tail, this website would still stubbornly say "Pikachu's from Kanto. Gender differences don't apply". And does Pikachu have to be a girl to rival with Bayleef? Is that a scientific fact? No.

I really, really wish they would just confirm the gender as male. Because it is. I know I shouldn't be posting about this because its considered an "offence" to vote, but it would be really good if a regular would just say "Ok, everyone. Ash's Pikachu is male. Thank you". Almost everyone else considers this. Yeah. [[User:Dusknoir477]] 11:37, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

: >> I think Pikachu is female..But,anyway,can I delete that line from the article,it's incorrect,see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFZkdgsgzP8&feature=related. I tried deleting it before,but it looks like it's back up [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 02:28, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I watched it, you're absolutely right, May doesn't refer to it as a male. But that doesn't mean it isn't... I don't think I'll ever be convinced that Pikachu is a girl, because I've always known it to be male. I'm sure lots of people considered that, and therefore, that's one of the big reasons why I think its male; because so many fans picked up vibes that it Pika was a boy, it must be so. Also, I've got lots of Pokémon books from my childhood; all of them say that Pikachu is a boy in them. One was a novel of the first film that I bought for my younger brother, which says this so explicitly its as if the book is trying to side with me. Creepy.

I still can't think of any good reason why it would be female. I can counter all of the female evidence on Pikachu's article.

1. Although its true that Pikachu is from Kanto where all Pikachu of both genders have "male" tails, now that gender differences have been introduced, we can forgot about that now. The world of Pokémon is always changing and contnuity is always corrupted, and regarding certain things like this is the only way to fix it. And no, its tail would not have changed into a heart if it was female. Jeez, if only gender differences were made ages ago, we wouldn't have this problem!

2. Misty picturing Pikachu in dresses. Well, firstly, Misty is a girl. Secondly, Misty likes Pikachu, and would want to picture Pikachu as a girl. Thirdly, Misty's visions were her point of view and not part of the continuity. Basically, almost nothing can be drawn from this evidence. In that Miltank episode, Pikachu felt uncomfortable dressed as a maid, so therefore, from Pikachu's point of view, it doesn't like dresses, meaning that it most likely isn't a girl.

3. Buneary not knowing Pikachu's gender is the dumbest piece of evidence that I have ever, ever heard. Come on, really. I would like to take a little moment to explain real game "love" physics. :P Say that there is a large group of male Mamoswine and a larg group of female Mamoswine in a blizzard. The members in both groups would like to start families with each other, but they can't because in each group, each member is the same gender. So they don't mate. Then, both groups see each other and form a larger group of both genders. Now, they can mate and can start breeding, because there are both males and females, meaning plenty of Swinub eggs will be laid.

So, one must come to the basic conclusion that, if a female Buneary is perfectly capable to fall and love and breed with a male Buneary in the games, but not with another female, then Dawn's Buneary successfully feeling obliged to mate with Pikachu means that Pikachu is the opposite gender of her: Male. Either that, or Buneary is male, which is definitely not true, as Buneary has worn dresses like a girl and even went into a girls fashion competition. Therefore, Buneary is female and Pikachu is male. It's obvious! Remember... The Pokémon series is based on the games! (although, then again, some things that happened in the anime aren't possible in the games, like the electric-harming-ground thing, but we are talking about common sense here; a female would tell the difference between a male and female).

4. Pikachu has gained quite a few rivals throughout the series, the most notable being Chikorita/Bayleef, who was confirmed to be female. I do not know why it would be considered female just because of this. Both genders can rival with one another. Whilst there is no evidence to say that I am wrong, there isn't evidence to say that I am right about this point, so this would be discarded in my book.

5. One that got deleted a while ago was the point that Pikachu showed interest in feminine items such as perfume. I can counter it. I think the reason why it was fascinated was because it was simply curious of the human world. Remember, Pikachu, before being captured by Prof Oak, was a wild animal. It would be fascinated by human things and would wander about eyeing the merchandise on sale, whether it was aimed at men or women. You know... it may look at a bottle of perfume, then look at a digital watch, then a necklace, then a chemisty set. This really doesn't explain anything about genders then, does it?

There you go. In my opinion, you can't very much counter the male evidence, especially ones like Pikachu being referred to as Ash's brother (a very good point).

I guess we'll just have to face the facts. Pikachu's gender will probably never be fully confirmed. Everyone's just too stubborn to do so. It's like in the Simpsons where Springfield's state won't be revealed. It's getting very, very late now, and as episodes go on, Pikachu remain a seemingly-genderless creature. But it isn't. It's male. - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Dusknoir477}} ([[User talk:Dusknoir477|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dusknoir477|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

== Should The . . . ==

. . . Gender Debate really be on this page? It just seems like a bunch of unencyclopedic speculation. ''[[User:ShinjiLover|シンジ]]'''''[[Paul|Shinji]]'''[[User talk:ShinjiLover|Lover]],'''[[Special:Contributions/ShinjiLover|Edits]]''' 02:24, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

== Possibly incorrect information on Gender Debate? ==
I realize this is pretty trivial, but on the section of Pikachu's Gender Debate, one of pieces of information supporting Pikachu's gender being male states something around the lines of Pikachu from Kanto have not been shown to have indentations on their tails, but in Pikachu's Goodbye (EP039) multiple wild Pikachu that appear in that episode have indentations on their tails. So should I edited that piece of information to be correct, or is it too trivial to matter?{{unsigned|Spoon-Fork}}
:No they didn't--[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 06:18, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
::Those dents were merley wounds from possibly being attacked by other Pokémon. Saying that they are gender differences is pure speculation. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:25, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Umm, saying that they are wounds is also pure speculation, as well, so technically, you shouldn't even say that on here. Besides, are they actually wounds? I'm pretty sure wounds would not be on the exact same spot on all those Pikachu's tails. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 12:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Guys, would you mind going and watching [[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]? Brock excplicitly calls him a he. [[User:Torngentleman2|MAMOSWINEPwnz! (Torngentleman2)]] 09:52, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

== Double edge???? ==

I think Pikachu can't do double edge.
May i have some proofs please.
--♫♪[[User talk:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']]♪♫ 15:39, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

:Well, there are points pointing both ways. Supporting the fact that Ash's Pikachu might know {{m|Double-Edge}} is because it can learn the move through [[TM10]] in [[Generation I]] (and later through a move tutor in [[Generation III]]). Supporting the fact that it might not know Double-Edge is because it was the stadium announcer who mentioned it in [[EP079|''Friend and Foe Alike'']], increasing the chance that it could have been a dub mistranslation where it was originally a different move in the Japanese version.

:My [[$1|2¢]]: While it's possible that Pikachu using Double-Edge might have been a mistranslation, if it isn't a mistranslation, odds are it's not an error of any sort. The episode in question is a Generation I-era episode, and Pikachu most definitely had a legal avenue for learning Double-Edge in that generation. Conclusion: Could somebody double-check the Japanese version of the episode? --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

== Male in Japan As Well! ==

Have any of you dared to watch Electric Soldier Porygon? ([[EP038]]) If so, then if you watched the one with subtitles on YouTube, you would have heard Nurse Joy call him a he. And that was in Japan! As for other countries, Pikachu is called a he in Showdown at Pewter City (EP005). I am changing it from Male (confirmed in dub only) to Male. [[User:Torngentleman2|MAMOSWINEPwnz! (Torngentleman2)]] 16:52, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

:Your operative word is "subtitles". Those subtitles are not official. Ergo, they cannot be used as evidence. Your edits concerning the matter will be undone.

:In fact, the chances of us ever getting official subtitles for that episode vanished thanks to over 700 seizures. Even if the rest of the series were to get an uncut subtitled release one of these days, [[EP038]] would not be included due to being locked down by the Japanese government. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:04, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

==Debatable==

I think Pikachu's Gender, in the Info box, should be called "Debatable", and mabye put a link to the "gender's debate" section of this Article. Just my opinion though... [[User:Flex S|Flex S]] 16:39, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
:Why is it debatable??? It never stated it's gender in the anime (besides in the controversial dub); end of story. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User Talk:Theryguy512|512]]''' 16:42, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
I was just going on the fact that people keep changing the gender in this article, meaning people are debating wheather it can be called "Unknown" "Male" or otherwise... If you call the gender ''Male (Debatable)'' people might not feel the need to change it, or argue about it. Again, this is just my opinion. -- [[User:Flex S|Flex S]] 17:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
