The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Latin America}}''' in an article that was published and appeared on the cover of the October issue of the Club Nintendo magazine in 1998<ref>[http://www.clubnintendomx.com/principal/cn_historia/1998.html Portadas de Club Nintendo - 1998] (in Spanish)</ref> and with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] in English in the same month.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20000301213009/www.nintendo.com.mx/lanza/pokemonest/pokemonest.html Pokémon Azul/Pokémon Rojo] (in Spanish)</ref> The [[Pokémon animated series]] followed after with the first broadcast of ''[[EP001|Pokémon, ¡Yo te elijo!]]'' in {{wp|American Spanish|Latin American Spanish}} on Canal 5 in Mexico in June 1999, followed by the debut on {{wp|Cartoon Network (Latin American TV channel)|Cartoon Network Latinoamérica}} on September 6, 1999, reaching the rest of Latin America as well as the Caribbean. However, the first broadcast in Latin America was in Chile, on the {{wp|Chilevisión}} channel, on April 26, 1999, just one month before the premiere in Mexico.

'''¡Atrápalos ya!''' is the current, and historically, Pokémon's most recognized Latin American Spanish slogan. This slogan was used during most TV spots and merchandise during the early years of the franchise, and is the most used slogan in the animated series, being only replaced by '''¡Tienes que atraparlos!''' during [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. The slogan is often referenced throughout the Pokémon [[canon]], much like the English slogan "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]" is.
From 2017 until the introduction of Latin American Spanish to the TCG, game trailers and official merchandise used the '''¡Hazte con todos!''' slogan that was originally used in Spain.
Some book guides and magazines published in Mexico used the slogan '''¡Es para todos!'''.

Starting with [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], [[core series]] games have separate translations for Latin American Spanish.

==Pokémon video games==
All of the [[core series]] Pokémon games have been released in Latin American countries. Historically, most games were available in English only, imported from {{pmin|the United States}} by various distributors in the region; however, {{game|Red and Blue|s}} were also available in Spanish, using the translation from {{pmin|Spain}}. The Spanish versions of Red and Blue were not available until 1999, months after the original release in English in October 1998, and were re-released on the [[Virtual Console]] alongside the English and [[Pokémon in Canada|French]] versions. No other Pokémon games were available in Spanish in Latin America until the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which also used the Spanish translation from Spain. [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] is the first core series game with a separate Latin American Spanish translation.

Despite the content of the games being almost identical to that of the releases from Spain, the Latin American Spanish versions of the games have their own country code in the serial numbers, LTN (instead of USA for English North America, or ESP for Spain, etc.). As [[Pokémon X and Y]] feature multilingual support, the need for separate English and Spanish Game Cards from [[Generation VI]] onwards appears to have been eliminated, as players may choose their preferred language at the beginning of the game.

Most of the spin-off titles (such as [[Pokémon Snap]] and [[Pokémon Stadium]]) have been released in Latin America as well, but like the majority of the core series Pokémon games, they are only available as English-language imports (however, Pokémon Stadium 1 and 2 are fully compatible with the Spanish versions of Red and Blue).

On November 16, 2020, Twitter user @BylethEisnerN started a signs petition on change.org explaining in detail and exposing the need for Pokémon games to be localized into Latin American Spanish after so many years of only receiving games in English and European Spanish (via the multilanguage option introduced in [[Pokémon X and Y]]), labeling it as the biggest problem of the franchise in the Latin American region.<ref>https://x.com/BylethEisnerN/status/1328401414310277122</ref> Despite this user's constant efforts for a whole year, his lack of visibility resulted in a low number of signatures until December 6, 2021, when all the content posted on [https://www.change.org/p/anmtvla-pokemonlatam-español-latino-en-los-juegos-de-pokémon?utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=custom_url&recruited_by_id=2aa9f250-281f-11eb-b130-a5722c41f745 change.org/PokemonLATAM] was turned into a in-depth collab video with the anime, manga, video games, and TV news portal ANMTV Latinoamérica.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx6pTEMSb5k</ref> The video quickly gained popularity thanks to the producers getting the participation of [https://doblaje.fandom.com/es/wiki/Gabriel_Ramos Gabriel Ramos] and [https://doblaje.fandom.com/es/wiki/Gabriel_Gama Gabriel Gama] for the narration, the original voice actors of [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Brock (anime)|Brock]] in Latin America, giving a great boost to the signs petition and causing a huge impact in both local and international media. In addition, on February 2, 2022, ANMTV released a video summary of this campaign completely in Japanese, in order to reach audiences closer to the Pokémon developers themselves.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR9aIekUlt4</ref>

From this point on, there were noticeable changes and signs that the campaign had reached [[The Pokémon Company International]]. On February 17, 2022, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Live]] trailer mentioned for the first time in a Pokémon game that it will support Latin American Spanish.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieR3K1koPwI</ref> Though it was almost the exact same trailer that had already been shown last September, "LATAM Spanish" was added in the available languages shown at the end of the video. However, in the Canada-exclusive beta released five days later (February 22), although all dialog and menu texts were indeed localized to Latin American Spanish, the entire content of the cards remained in European Spanish, causing inconsistencies that remained until the day of the official global release on June 8 of the following year. On February 26, 2022, [[Pokémon UNITE]] released its first trailer localized in Latin American Spanish,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agFOyghEUMI</ref> though the game itself still lacks such localization. On April 22, 2022, via Pokémon Support, when asked about Latin American Spanish, for the first time they gave a direct answer by replying that they are "looking into when and how (...) best expand localization (...), like Latin America", as well as thanking the fans "for their support and patience", which confirmed that they were aware of the campaign.<ref>https://www.anmtvla.com/2022/04/the-pokemon-company-rompe-el-silencio.html</ref> On February 27, 2023, for the first time, a [[Pokémon Presents]] was broadcasted on the official Pokémon Latam channel, featuring subtitles localized to Latin American Spanish with terms such as "[[Great Ball|Superbola]]" and "[[Ultra Ball|Ultrabola]]" in the [[Pokémon GO]] segment, but without announcing any localization for that game.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrMt7i41kqY</ref> On May 10, 2023, Pokémon Latam's official social media accounts posted for the first time videogame-related content not using terms from Spain, with the move "[[Play Rough (move)|Carantoña]]" shown as "Juego Rudo".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7LKVLLOlwsw</ref> [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], despite not featuring a Latin American Spanish translation, renamed the European Spanish option from "Spanish" to "Spanish (Spain)" and altered its [[language of origin]] tag from "ESP" ("SPA" in English) to "ES-ES" ("SP-EU" in English), a change that was also applied in [[Pokémon HOME]] in an update on May 24, 2023.<ref>https://x.com/BylethEisnerN/status/1659223932258361345</ref> In September 2023, the [[Oddish (Pokémon)|Oddish]]-centered website<ref>https://oddish.pokemon.com/es-mx/</ref> not only explicitly says that the Oddish [[Pokédex]] entry is in European Spanish, but also calls it "el Pokédex" (with masculine article), the form used in the Latin American Spanish dub of the animated series, as opposed to "la Pokédex" (with feminine article), the form used in Spain.<ref>https://x.com/BylethEisnerN/status/1699810944682008878</ref>

On March 15, 2024, a datamine by the Twitter user @abcboy101 revealed support for Latin American Spanish in upcoming version 0.305.0 of Pokémon GO.<ref>https://x.com/abcboy101/status/1768624284551852379</ref> The progressive rollout began on March 18 in Mexico<ref>https://x.com/WikiDexOficial/status/1769788278998229392</ref> and, one month later, on April 19, 2024, for the rest of the world, complete with localization of legacy terms from the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Pokémon's only official source of Latin American Spanish up to that point.<ref>https://x.com/WikiDexOficial/status/1781451945632276626</ref> The same day, the sign petition opened almost three years ago was finally closed as a success with a total of 28359 signs.<ref>https://x.com/BylethEisnerN/status/1781469534089617647</ref> Meanwhile, ANMTV also decided to end the successful media campaign but not without waiting for an official reveal, which finally happened on May 5, 2024,<ref>https://www.anmtvla.com/2024/03/como-nacio-la-campana-para-localizar.html</ref> not only officially announcing the arrival of Latin American Spanish to Pokémon GO during the final day of the CCXP Mexico conference, but also pairing it with an exclusive in-game event for Latin America.<ref>https://pokemongolive.com/post/pokemon-go-espanol-latam?hl=es_MX</ref> Since then, the Latin American Spanish localization has continued to grow along with the game, being constantly polished and enriching the terminology of the animated series with some new translations and fixes of certain errors present in the Latin American Spanish dub.

In a [[Pokémon Presents]] presentation on February 27, 2025, it was finally announced that future core series games would be released in Latin American Spanish starting with [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. A Latin American Spanish translation of the newly-announced game [[Pokémon Champions]] was also confirmed.

Regarding rating systems in Latin America, on November 27, 2020, the {{wp|Dirección General de Radio, Televisión y Cinematografía|RTC}} of Mexico introduced a rating system to replace the ESRB in the region. The law took effect by May 27, 2021, and [[New Pokémon Snap]] became the first Pokémon game to be rated by Mexican authorities.

===Commercials===
In the late 1990s, [[Nintendo]] aired many {{pkmn|commercial}}s in Latin America for video games such as {{smw|Mario (series)|Mario}} and Pokémon. These commercials are not unique to Latin America, they are simply Spanish-dubbed versions of the commercials aired in {{pmin|the United States}}. However, due to the rise of video game {{wp|copyright infringement|piracy}}, Nintendo has decided not to invest much money in promoting their franchises in Latin America. This may be a reason why few recent games receive Spanish releases in Latin America. Despite this, Spanish commercials for Pokémon games still appear on cable networks such as Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.<ref>Commercials of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IzUsLkUtxw Pokémon Yellow], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HFRndmHzko Pokémon Stadium], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eciqyMWbOPE Pokémon Gold and Silver], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxOSJ4_pMf0 Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team], {{game|Platinum}} ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spoIj9lBnpM first] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeO5aDqilW8 second]) and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGQ7hJzHS0A first], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m65P_7Qy55o second] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPlZLHZ1ihU third] commercial) in Spanish</ref>

==={{pkmn2|Event}}s===
Local events rarely occurred in Latin American countries, particularly in a single country exclusively. The events were usually announced on the [[Pokémon.com]] website but in [[Generation V]], the events were announced on the web sites of the stores hosting the events. Starting with Generation VI, events are announced by the stores and/or Nintendo Latin America's Facebook page.

The distribution of local Pokémon events had only been in the countries of Mexico and Chile in 2010 during [[Generation IV]]. However, two local distributions occurred in [[Generation V]], of {{p|Keldeo}} and {{p|Meloetta}}, in more Latin American countries.

Nowadays, since the use of Wi-Fi connection has become more common, Latin American players can download all worldwide events for the games, making special Pokémon considerably easier to obtain than before.

During 2016, most North American distribution events were also extended to Latin American stores, with code cards in Spanish, but Pokémon.com didn't announce them since they had no News page for Latin America.

All 2018 Legendary Pokémon year events were announced on [https://web.archive.org/web/20180912092049/https://www.pokemonlegendary.com/es-la/ the official site for Latin America].

==Pokémon animation==
The Latin American dub of Pokémon airs or has aired in the following countries: {{wp|Argentina}}, {{wp|Bolivia}}, {{wp|Chile}}, {{wp|Colombia}}, {{wp|Costa Rica}}, {{wp|Dominican Republic}}, {{wp|Ecuador}}, {{wp|El Salvador}}, {{wp|Guatemala}}, {{wp|Honduras}}, {{wp|Nicaragua}}, {{wp|Mexico}}, {{wp|Panama}}, {{wp|Paraguay}}, {{wp|Peru}}, {{wp|Uruguay}} and {{wp|Venezuela}}.<ref>[https://www.awn.com/news/pok-mon-hits-world ''Pokémon Hits The World'' - Animation World Network (October 3, 1998)]</ref><ref>[https://www.awn.com/news/pok-mon-sold-latin-america-broadcasters ''Pokémon sold to Latin America broadcasters'' - Animation World Network (February 14, 1999)]</ref> The animated series has aired on Mexico's Canal 5, with the Pokémon series premiering in early 1999. Only the first 52 episodes were broadcasted. The series has aired on {{wp|Cartoon Network (Latin American TV channel)|Cartoon Network Latinoamérica}} since its debut in the rest of the Latin American countries. In addition to Cartoon Network, which serves many different countries, the animated series is also aired on one or more local channels in most regions of Latin America. In the United States, the Latin American dub of the [[original series]] airs on TeleXitos.

Starting on January 1, 2010, the [[S01|first season]] began to air on {{wp|Tooncast}}, a sister network of Cartoon Network and {{wp|Boomerang (Latin American TV channel)|Boomerang Latin America}}<ref>[http://www.anmtvla.com/2009/12/enero-en-tooncast-el-estreno-de-pokemon.html Enero en Tooncast: El estreno de Pokémon] (in Spanish)</ref>.

===Cartoon Network===
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|right|170px|Cartoon Network logo]]
Cartoon Network is one of the most popular children's television channels in Latin America due to the channel airing original productions from the original US channel such as the ''{{wp|Cartoon Cartoons}}'' as well as international acquisitions like ''{{wp|Dragon Ball}}'', ''{{wp|Naruto}}'', ''{{wp|Inuyasha}}'' and other animated series, including Pokémon. Since Pokémon debuted on September 6, 1999, it has become one of the most popular shows on Cartoon Network.

Cartoon Network has aired every episode and season of the animated series that has been dubbed into Spanish, including [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and all the movies except for [[M04|4]], [[M05|5]] that were shown on Jetix, and [[M06|6]] and [[M07|7]] that were released on DVD. The special episode ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'' debuted on February 8, 2008, and ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' debuted on July 13, 2008.

With the premiere of each season, the channel performs special promotions such as marathons of older episodes and, in years past, contests and other events. In December 2002, to commemorate the premiere of ''[[S05|Pokémon: Master Quest]]'' on January 1, 2003, the channel held a contest called "{{tt|Los Elegidos Pokémon|The Pokémon Chosen}}". To participate, viewers would vote for their favorite episodes on Cartoon Network's website, the most popular of which would be aired in a marathon on December 31, 2002.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030207023701/http://www.cartoonnetworkla.com/spanish/promos/pokemon/ Los Elegidos Pokémon - Cartoon Network archive] (in Spanish)</ref>

On March 2, 2015, [[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]] premiered at 2:00pm in Colombia, 2:30pm in Venezuela 3pm in the Dominican Republic and 4:00pm in other countries, with new episodes being aired five days a week. Unlike previously, there was no advertising or any official announcement at all that the series was going to premiere, other than the synopsis for [[XY001]] being found on the {{wp|Cartoon Network}} website's schedule a few days before, which was announced between the fan community by word of mouth. The season finale aired on May 6, 2015. [[XY022]] did not air on March 31, 2015 as it was originally intended to be due to a Cartoon Network special airing in its place and the episode schedule not being re-accommodated afterwards. Said episode did air on June 16, 2015 during reruns though and as of 2016 [[XY022]] can be viewed on Netflix. In June the schedule changed at 4:00 a.m. for the series (it varied depending on the country).

The Season 18 premiered on August 3, 2015 at 4pm (2pm Colombia, 2:30 Venezuela etc.) returning to its old schedule.

===Dubbing===
The Latin American dub of the Pokémon animated series is based on the English dubs by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]], retaining all of their character names, Pokémon names, and any cuts or alterations present in the English dub. '''Televix Entertainment'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20001019012317/http://www.televix.com/Series.html Televix: Series & Animation (as of 2000)]</ref><ref>[https://www.produ.com/television/noticias/record-tv-y-televisa-adquieren-segunda-temporada-de-pokemon/ ''Record-TV y Televisa adquieren segunda temporada de “Pokémon”'' - Produ (May 18, 1999)]</ref> was responsible for distributing the series in the Latin American market up to [[S12|Season 12]],<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130418153523/http://www.televix.com/pokemon-season-12/ Televix listing for Pokemon Seasons 10-12]</ref><ref name="televixfeed">[https://web.archive.org/web/20110202214239/http://www.televix.com/feed/ Televix Feed from 2011 (contains Pokemon season & movie mentions)]</ref> then TPCI decided to distribute the series themselves.

The dub itself is recorded and produced in Mexico. The series has been dubbed by five different companies. Originally, dubbing production was conducted by the company '''Audiomaster 3000''' of {{wp|Televisa}}, which dubbed the series from the [[S01|first season]] until the first episodes of ''Pokémon: Advanced Challenge''. Audiomaster 3000 went out of business in 2005, leaving the [[S07|seventh season]] incomplete.

Thus, the series was rushed to '''Candiani Dubbing Studios''' (due to them acquiring Audiomaster 3000's assets), which dubbed the series until mid-2009, with many mistakes of pronunciation and a change in the voices of several characters. Several moves that had a fixed translation until that point were changed, and the number of naming inconsistencies in moves increased. Cities and towns from the Kanto region which had used their Spanish names up until that point were changed to their English names during those seasons (the only exception being [[Pallet Town]]).

In the first season, initially the Spanish translation for some terms was used, like moves and cities (except [[Fuchsia City]]), due to the launch of Red and Blue in Spanish.

On September 26, 2009, '''AF The Dubbing House''' confirmed on their [http://twitter.com/dubbinghouse Twitter] that they would start dubbing ''[[S12|Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'', indicating that they were the new dubbing company for the series. This company changed the voices of several characters and terminology used, with several moves and city names being taken directly from the {{pmin|Spain|Spanish localization}}, specially during the first episodes, though several of these changes were reverted after some episodes. The company was able to return Gabo Ramos to the role of Ash Ketchum, since said actor was living in Argentina at that moment.

Seasons 13 to 18 were dubbed by '''SDI Media de México'''. Their involvement was confirmed in October 2010<ref>[https://x.com/lalogarx/status/28066362015 "El doblaje de pokemon se realizará en SDI Media Group, con la traducción de Julio Cesar Alcántara (Bakugan, kerwhizz)" - Eduardo Garza via Twitter (October 21, 2010)]</ref> via Eduardo Garza's Twitter, which reported that he would be the dubbing director and asked for help from fans to help standardize the terminology and return to each character's original voice. Ash's voice was changed, however, due to logistic reasons. The thirteenth season had more mistakes than the previous season, due to the terminology used, with some attack names alternating between the {{pmin|Spain|Spanish localization}} and a previous Latin American dub localization, even within the same episode. Starting the fourteenth season, most of the naming inconsistencies from previous seasons diminished notably. Seasons 19 to 22 were dubbed by '''Jarpa Studio Mexico''' in collaboration with [[DuArt Film & Video]]. DuArt departed the series after season 22, and SDI Media returned for ''[[S23|Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' onwards. [[Iyuno]] later took control of the dub through acquiring SDI Media.

====Pokémon movies====
As the series, most of the films have were dubbed in Mexico. The films ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'' were dubbed by '''Audiomaster 3000''' under license and distribution of {{wp|Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.}}, while ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'' (dubbed in Mexico by '''MADE Productions'''), as well as ''[[M06|Jirachi Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' (dubbed in Argentina by '''Media Pro Com''') were licensed by {{wp|Miramax}} and their dubs were produced by Disney Character Voices International.

Televix was responsible for licensing and distributing ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.<ref name="televixfeed"/> Movies 8 to 10 were dubbed by '''Candiani Dubbing Studios''' while movies 11 and 12 were dubbed by '''AF The Dubbing House'''.

The movies ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', ''[[M14|Black - Victini and Zekrom / White - Victini and Reshiram]]'', ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', ''[[M17|Diancie and the Coocon of Destruction]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' were dubbed at SDI Media México and distributed by TPCI. [[M19|Movies 19]] to [[M22|22]] were dubbed at Jarpa Studio México in collaboration with DuArt Media Services, while [[M23|movie 23]] was dubbed by Iyuno-SDI.

==[[Pokémon merchandise]]==
[[File:Album Pokemon Evoluciones.jpg|thumb|right|170px|Pokémon Evoluciones, the latest sticker album of Pokémon that has been published in the country of Peru]]
[[File:Chilean Pokémon Albums.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Different sticker albums, along with an illustrated book of the TCG, released in Chile.]]
During the height of Pokémon's popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s, a great number of collectibles and other merchandise based on the Pokémon franchise was available in Latin American countries, including sticker albums, postcards, plush toys, and figurines.

Books from the [[Pokémon Chapter Books]] such as {{book|I Choose You!}}, {{book|Island of the Giant Pokémon}}, and {{book|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon}} have been serialized and translated into Spanish by [[wp:es:Norma Editorial|Norma Editorial]] in several countries of Latin America.

[[Pokémon Tazos]], collectible discs which resemble {{wp|Pogs}}, were available in bags of {{wp|Frito-Lay}} chips. These Tazos, which have featured other franchises besides Pokémon, grew in popularity to a level greater than or equal to the early popularity of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in North America.

The {{tt|Corporación Gráfica Navarrete S.A.|Graphic Corporation Navarrete}}, based in Peru, is a company known for publishing a wide variety of Pokémon sticker albums. Stickers for these albums are sold separately and are distributed randomly in packs. Each sticker is numbered and is intended to be glued to its assigned spot in the album. [[File:Mirinda.png|thumb|left|150px|Pokémon Mirinda]] The album will often have artwork and descriptions that compliment the artwork on the stickers. These sticker albums have been published in several Latin American countries such as Peru and Mexico since the late 1990s. The most recent sticker albums are "Pokédex", which was published in 2007 and was available in Bolivia, {{pmin|Brazil}}, Mexico, Peru and Puerto Rico; and "{{tt|Pokémon Evoluciones|Pokémon Evolutions}}", was published in 2008 and was only available in Peru.<ref>[http://www.navarrete.com.pe/albumes.aspx Albumes y coleccionables - Corporación Gráfica Navarrete] (in Spanish)</ref>

[[Burger King promotional Pokémon toys|Burger King]] has also brought a few of its Pokémon promotions to Latin America, including the recent TCG promotions.

In Argentina, {{wp|Mirinda}} soda released a [[Pokémon food products#Pokémon Mirinda|limited-edition Pokémon soft drink]]. It was the same as regular orange-flavored Mirinda, but featured Pokémon characters on the packaging.

==Community==
Most of the Spanish-speaking Pokémon fandom is located in Latin America, as it is a region of countries who speak the same language with the same (or similar) accents. Usually, the fans are followers of the animated series and video games because they are governed by the translations of video games (being only available in English for most of the games before [[Pokémon X and Y|X and Y]]) and dubbing (Spanish in the animated series dub). The Latin American fandom is very active in everything that has happened since the release of the first Pokémon video games, even throughout the voice cast changes made in the dubbing of the animated series.

Currently, two of the biggest and oldest Spanish-language Pokémon sites are [https://www.centropkmn.com Centro Pokémon] and [http://www.pokexperto.net Pokéxperto], founded in 2005 and 2006 respectively, which probably are two of the most trusted Pokémon sites in Latin America and Spain. They post about the most recent news from the Pokémon video games, animated series, and TCG, and also have very large community forums.

One of the oldest Spanish-language Pokémon sites is [http://pokeguia.com/Pikaflash Pikaflash]. With over 14 years of existence, Pikaflash was one of the most popular forums in Latin America because of the huge variety of discussion topics, even to the point of being [[AG114|mentioned]] [[DP092|twice]] during Team Rocket's motto in the dub. During its early years, Pikaflash focused only on Pokémon, but over time has expanded to include other topics such as other animated series dubbed in Latin America, such as Dragon Ball and InuYasha. To this day, Pikaflash has closed its forums and the website is no longer updated.

Another important fansite is [http://pokemon-project.com Pokémon Project]. Pokémon Project offers Pokémon-related news as well as game and animated series information. It was one of the most visited fansites because of the content it offered and its interaction with the community of fans who followed the web site. One of the major events made by the community of Pokémon Project was a protest and request for Gabriel Ramos to come back to the Latin American dub.

==Events==
{{bulbanews|2015 tour dates for Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions officially announced}}
So far, Mexico and Chile are the only Latin American countries to have any [[Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions]] concerts scheduled. There were three performances in 2015—in Guadalajara on October 21, in Mexico City on October 22, and in Monterrey on October 25; while there were five performances in 2016—one in Santiago on August 12, and two in Mexico City on October 31 and November 1. In 2017, two more performances took place in Mexico City on February 26.

Latin America has also hosted numerous [[Pokémon GO]] in-person events such as Pokémon GO City Safari in Mexico City, Mexico in 2023; São Paulo, Brazil in 2024; and Santiago, Chile in 2025.

==Trivia==
* Cartoon Network Latinoamérica has never [[Banned episodes|banned]] an episode of the animated series except for episodes which have been banned in Japan and the United States. However, it has skipped some episodes due to network oversights, though all of them but [[XY022]] were ultimately aired.
* Cartoon Network's "Biografia Toon" segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters, has done a two-part segment on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by [[Professor Oak]] and allegedly destroyed the lab when he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* When speaking at an anime event at a school in {{wp|Buenos Aires}}, {{wp|Argentina}}, voice actor Gabriel Ramos revealed that ''[[S12|Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' would have a total of 54 episodes.<ref>[http://pokemon-project.com/index.php?c=comentar&modo=ver&nid=333 Fancon: Kodomo Monsters - Pokémon Project] (in Spanish)</ref> However, season 12 ended with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', which brought the total number of ''Galactic Battles'' episodes to 52.
* Before the premiere of ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' on February 14, 2010, ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' was re-aired on {{tt|February 10|normal broadcast}} and {{tt|February 11, 2010|rerun}}. This is likely due to the similarity of [[Riley]] and [[Sir Aaron]].
* When ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' was {{tt|rerun on 3 March 2010|originally aired on 28 February 2010}} on Cartoon Network, the opening theme was ''[[Pokémon Theme]]'' instead of ''[[Battle Cry - (Stand Up!)]]'''. This is also true for the reruns of ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''{{tt|*|originally aired on 7 March 2010 and reaired on 10 March 2010}} and ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''{{tt|*|originally aired on 14 March 2010 and reaired on 17 March 2010}}. Starting from ''[[DP115|Stealing the Conversation!]]'', ''[[Battle Cry - (Stand Up!)]]'' was restored as the opening theme. For these three episodes, the episode titles were also ''not'' announced in Spanish.
* Before 2019, in "[http://www.pokemon.com/us/country/ Choose Your Country!]" from Pokémon.com, the only countries in Latin America that had external websites were [http://www.pokemon.com/ar/ Argentina] and [http://www.pokemon.com/cl/ Chile]. Peru used to have a website as well.
*Season 13 was the first one to be distributed in Latin America and Spain by the same distributor, SDI Media Poland.
**This caused the lyrics of ''[[We Will Carry On!]]'' and ''[[Black and White (song)|Black and White]]'' to be similar with minor or no changes and sung by different performers. Since the first season these have always been different for each dubbing.

List of cross-generational references

2024-10-29T04:28:13Z

Fudgenuggets: /* References to Generation III */

{{fan speculation}}
<div style="clear: right; float:right">__TOC__</div>
The nine [[generation]]s of [[Pokémon games]], taking place in the same {{pkmn|world}}, have had multiple references to each other. Not only do the games reference their same-generation counterparts (with the {{player}}'s default name being the version played and the [[rival]]'s being the counterpart version in the first two generations), but games released later in the series typically will feature references to events of past generations.

This does not include Pokémon. While Pokémon released in previous generations will always appear, they are not a reference to the generation itself.

==List of references==
===Generation II===
====References to Generation I====
* Not only is the [[Kanto]] region a playable area during the games, but several of the events of [[Generation I]] are spoken of as having happened three years prior. Many characters also reappear because of this, though some of them undergo design changes.
* {{ga|Red}}, the [[player character]] of the first games, is found training in [[Mt. Silver]] and can be battled.
* {{ga|Blue}}, the rival character of the first games, has become the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]. His team is based on the Pokémon he used in the final battle in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* A man in the [[Violet City]] Pokémon Center states that the former [[Team Rocket]] was broken up by a "{{ga|Red|young kid}}."
* The parents of the {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in [[Saffron City]] mention that her Clefairy Doll was given to her by {{ga|Red|a boy}} three years before.
* The [[Berserk Gene]], a held item, is found near the former entrance of the now-collapsed Cerulean Cave, where {{p|Mewtwo}} once hid.
* There is a [[Pokémon doll]] of a [[Surfing Pikachu]] available to decorate the room, which references the [[Pikachu's Beach]] minigame in {{game|Yellow}}.
* A man in [[Cerulean City]] says there used to be [[Cerulean Cave|a cave near the city with powerful Pokémon]].
* If the player checks the poster in the [[Celadon Game Corner]], the player will be informed that there's nothing there, referring to the secret switch under the poster in Generation I.
* The master of the Saffron City [[Fighting Dojo]], [[Kiyo]], can be found and battled in [[Mt. Mortar]]. Like [[Koichi]] in Generation I, he gives the player {{p|Tyrogue|a Fighting-type Pokémon}} upon defeating him.
* In a [[Celadon City]] restaurant, a woman says that no one will give the player a [[Coin Case]] here and that they should look in [[Johto]]. A man in the same place gives a Coin Case in Generation I.

===Generation III===
====References to Generation I====
* [[Brawly]] is said to have once trained alongside [[Bruno]], who is a member of [[Kanto]]'s [[Elite Four]]. Also, both of them are {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon users.
* The [[Oceanic Museum]] in [[Slateport City]] has two water samples on the top floor, one of which is from Kanto (though this reference is removed in Emerald). Its background music theme is also an arrangement of the [[S.S. Anne]] theme.
** There is also a miniature scale model of the [[S.S. Anne]] on the top floor of the Oceanic Museum.
* In [[Lanette]]'s house, there is a computer displaying e-mails from [[Bill]] about the [[Pokémon Storage System]].
* On [[Faraway Island]], a series of smudged messages, which may have been left by [[Mr. Fuji]], appear on a [[signpost]].
* A boy in [[Lilycove City]] says that he and his family came from the Kanto region before he asks if there are any Pokémon found only in this area.
* In the {{ka|Victory Road}} in Kanto, there is a small crater where {{p|Moltres}} used to be.

====References to Generation II====
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the [[player character]] is said to have moved at the beginning of the game with their family from the [[Johto]] region, the main setting of the Generation II games. In {{game|Emerald}}, the character who said this instead states that the player character's family moved there from a faraway place.
* The [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|internal data of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]] contains remastered versions of the themes played on [[Route]]s [[Johto Route 38|38]] and [[Johto Route 39|39]], Goldenrod's Radio Tower Takeover, [[Legendary beasts]]' battle, and [[Saffron City]].
* The [[Oceanic Museum]] in [[Slateport City]] has two water samples, one of which is from Johto (though this reference is removed in Emerald).
* A man in [[Mt. Moon]] says that [[Brock]] sometimes helps excavate [[Fossil]]s there. This explains how he acquires the {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} which he uses in Generation II.
* At the [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean Cape]], a dame says [[Misty]] has high hopes about the location, which is known as a famous dating spot. In the Generation II games, she is first encountered there with an unknown male character.
* [[Janine]], [[Koga]]'s daughter and future [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of [[Fuchsia Gym]], appears in [[Fuchsia City]], and tells the player that she is training to use {{t|Poison}} Pokémon like her father. She is misnamed as Charine in the English translation of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, however.
* The branch of Team Rocket in the [[Sevii Islands]] seems to be the same branch which attempted to revive Team Rocket during Generation II, with plans to use magnetic waves to evolve Pokémon. {{tc|Scientist}} [[Gideon]] also claims that [[Giovanni]]'s child has red hair, a reference to {{ga|Silver}}.
* One of [[Professor Oak]]'s assistants will state that he is to get a [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|radio show]] sometime in the near future.
* [[Celio]] mentions that some members of [[Bill]]'s family live in [[Goldenrod City]].
* A woman on [[Two Island]] in [[Bruno]]'s section of the [[Fame Checker]] mentions the [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBar]].
* A child in [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Lance]]'s section of the [[Fame Checker]] says he has a [[Clair|cousin who is a Gym Leader]] [[Blackthorn City|somewhere far away]].
* [[Whitney]], [[Jasmine]] and [[Pryce]] lookalikes appear as audience members in [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
* The man who digs [[Three Isle Path]] and gives the player a [[Nugget]] says that he'd like to buy a house in [[Kanto]]. He may be the same person who gives away a Nugget in Generation II in his house on {{rt|2|Kanto}}.
* The themes used on the [[Sevii Islands]] are remastered versions of the routes around [[Mahogany Town]] as well as remastered versions of {{ci|Violet}}/[[Olivine City]] and [[Azalea Town]]/[[Blackthorn City]].

===Generation IV===
====References to Generation I====
* [[Professor Rowan]] is said to have developed the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] with help from [[Professor Oak|a Pokémon Professor from Kanto]].
* Professor Oak himself comes to [[Sinnoh]] to give the {{player}} the [[National Pokédex]], and can always be found in a house in [[Eterna City]] thereafter. He gives the player an [[Upgrade|Up-Grade]], which was sent to Oak by his acquaintance from [[Kanto]].
* In the [[gate]] east of [[Canalave City]] is a guard who complains that he is thirsty, like the guards in Kanto who will allow the player to enter [[Saffron City]] if they are brought a drink. Unlike those guards, however, this one does not do anything if brought a drink.
* One of the [[Elite Four]], [[Bertha]], shares a similar name (in Japanese and English) and design to [[Agatha]]. It is possible they are related, or that Bertha was at least modeled after Agatha.
* {{tc|Black Belt}} Eddie from {{si|Victory Road}} mentions that he trained at the [[Fighting Dojo]] in Saffron City.
* In [[Amity Square]], some Pokémon may be let out of their [[Poké Ball]]s to follow their {{pkmn|Trainer}} around. One of the few available is {{p|Pikachu}}, which did the same (however, throughout the game) in {{game|Yellow}}.

* Part of the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] music theme is a techno remix of the Rocket Game Corner music theme.
* One of {{ga|Lucas}}'s alternate names was Ash in the English versions of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. This is one of the default names of {{ga|Red}} in the games {{5v2|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. It may even be a reference to the {{pkmn|animated series}}'s first [[Ash Ketchum|main character]].
[[File:Nostalgic Wallpaper.png|thumb|The wallpaper]]
* As a direct tribute to the original games, one of the wallpapers has been designed to resemble the design of the [[route]]s of the first games, complete with the graphics and sprites when the games are played on the [[Game Boy]]. The wallpaper showcases typical features like both types of fences, low and high [[Tall grass|grass]], normal ground, a [[signpost]] and a house.
* When visiting the [[Villa]], [[Roark]] wonders if he could make the [[Underground]] extend to Kanto and [[Johto]].
* As {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are remakes of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the references present in the original games to Generation I return.
* During a special {{p|Celebi}} event, the player will, in fact, travel in time back to shortly after Red has defeated [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni tells his {{ga|Silver|son}} that he has decided to disband [[Team Rocket]]. Afterwards, he will run towards the Johto region and is found in a cave. When the player defeats him, he will make a remark that the player reminds him of {{ga|Red|the boy that made him disband}} the team in the first place.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a man mentions that [[Professor Oak]] once said there were 150 Pokémon, the amount known during Generation I, although there are now over 400 (this implies that the [[Johto]] games, or at least their [[remake]]s, take place at the same time as the [[Sinnoh]] games).

====References to Generation II====

* The [[Poké Ball]] design on the floor of the Sinnoh Pokémon Centers is colored {{game|Gold and Silver|s|gold and silver}}. [[Park Ball]]s are also colored gold and silver, and the normally black stripe in the middle is actually a light blue, {{game|Crystal||crystal}}-like color.
* {{tc|Dragon Tamer}} Geoffrey on {{rt|225|Sinnoh}} mentions a [[Lance|Dragon Tamer Champion]].
* The {{p|Eevee}} which [[Bebe]] gives to the player was obtained originally from her [[Bill|friend]] in Johto.

* In [[Stargazer Colosseum]] in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], some of the Pokémon in the last battle depend on which game is linked to the Wii. If {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond}} is linked, one of the Pokémon is {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Gold's [[game mascot]], and if {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Pearl}} is linked, one of the Pokémon is {{p|Lugia}}, Silver's game mascot.

* A {{tc|Hiker}} in the {{rt|3|Kanto}} [[Pokémon Center]] states that the Pokémon Center didn't exist when he was climbing the mountain, which is only true in [[Generation II]].
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the man at [[Indigo Plateau]] mentions that nobody uses his {{p|Abra}} to {{m|Teleport}} home anymore (which it used to do in Generation II) since they usually {{m|Fly}} to and from instead.

* A catalog in [[Rad Rickshaw]]'s Cycle Shop in [[Eterna City]] advertises the [[Acro Bike]] and [[Mach Bike]].
* In [[Stargazer Colosseum]] in {{g|Battle Revolution}}, some of the Pokémon in the last battle depend on which game is linked to the Wii.

* {{p|Corviknight}} and {{p|Tinkaton}}'s [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] reveal that, unlike in Galar, Corviknight is unable to serve as the [[Flying Taxi]] Pokémon in [[Paldea]] due to Tinkaton's habit of attacking it mid-flight.
* [[Perrin]] mentions that her ancestors come from [[Sinnoh]] back when it was called Hisui. At one point, she also uses [[Adaman]]'s catchphrase, "Time wasted is lost", which she says is a saying passed down in her family, confirming her as Adaman's descendant. She also takes the player to a photo survey to find a {{fd|Ursaluna|special}} {{p|Ursaluna}}, during which several themes from Legends: Arceus can be heard.
* [[Atticus]] can sell the player a replica of [[Marnie]]'s [[bag|backpack]] and a helmet modeled after the Ball Guy at [[Porto Marinada]].
* One of the [[Poké Ball]]-[[Battle style (game mechanic)|throwing styles]] the player can unlock in the [[League Club Room]] is that of the former Galar {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Leon]].
* If the player shows a Pokémon with the [[Mark|Mightiest Mark]] to a student in Blueberry Academy's School Store, he will teach them Leon's signature {{p|Charizard}} Pose.
* [[Jubilife Village]]'s theme is one of the unlockable background themes for the League Club Room.
* Near the beginning of [[Mochi Mayhem]], Penny gets irritated during a phone call with her father by his use of the word "Adven-tour" and describes him as "ultra-mega-annoying" afterwards. This heavily implies that her father is [[Peony]], as he uses the same word and prefix in [[Peony/Quotes|his dialogue]].

{{main|Pokémon vending machines}}
Pokémon Center goods are also sold from vending machines in the United States and Japan.

In the United States a series of Pokémon Center branded machines are maintained by [[The Pokémon Company International]] and have been present in shopping malls in and around the {{wp|Seattle}} area since 2010. They sell a variety of goods including [[Poké Doll (plush)|plush]], [[Pokémon games|video games]], figures, Trading Card Game items, and charms.

In 2018, [[The Pokémon Company]] launched vending machines in Japan under the name Pokémon Stand. These also sell Pokémon Center goods, including (in some locations) exclusive {{p|Pikachu}} plushies.

==Online==
[[File:Pokémon Center Online logo.png|117px|right]]
===Japan===
In Japan Pokémon Center goods are available from [https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/ Pokémon Center Online] and [http://www.amazon.co.jp/b?node=2430277051 The Pokémon Store at Amazon.co.jp].

A desktop online store was originally available in Japan from March 21, 2001 and a store accessible via mobile phones was available from September 29, 2003. Both of these closed on November 30, 2006.

The Amazon.co.jp store opened on October 18, 2012 and uses the [[Pokémon Store]] brand and name. On February 16, 2016 the current [https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/ pokemoncenter-online.com] website reopened for customers in Japan.
{{right clear}}
===United States===
[[File:Pokémon Center online logo.png|thumb|right|US site logo]]
In the United States Pokémon Center goods are available from [http://pokemoncenter.com PokémonCenter.com].

====Original website====
[[File:Pokémon Center online.png|thumb|200px|The old US site the day before closing]]
Around mid-January 2008, the Pokémon Center online store in North America displayed a closing message, encouraging shoppers to take advantage of closing sales, because the store would be closing at the end of the month. The store did close effective February 1st, but kept a Q & A site in place of the actual store. The reason given for the closing was: "Pokémon USA, Inc. (now part of [[The Pokémon Company International]]) has decided to sell Pokémon merchandise exclusively through its retail partners." The site continued to accept product returns that met their product return standards and were postmarked by February 21st of that year. If one visited [http://pokemoncenter.com pokemoncenter.com], it would redirect to [[Pokémon.com|the Pokémon website]].

====New website====
On July 2, 2014, the website featured a countdown clock for the grand opening of the Pokémon Center online store and [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Eevee-and-7-Evolution-Pokemon-Minis/dp/B00JKPI0C6 three] [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Poke-Plush-Pikachu-Running/dp/B00JG17ZG6 different] [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Mewtwo-Tumbler-Purple/dp/B00K5S43OG items] available for early-access purchase.

On August 6, 2014, the Pokémon Center online store reopened for customers in {{pmin|the United States}} at the same URL. [[n:Pokémon Center website to return|Some fans]] were given advance access via mail, where they could access the Pokémon Center website starting July 2, 2014. These fans were given some special gifts from The Pokémon Company alongside the invitation: an iPhone 5 case, a notebook, a canteen, and a plush Special Delivery Pikachu.

On November 9, 2020, the Pokémon Center online store became available in {{pmin|Canada}}.

==Trivia==
* The internal data of the [[core series]] games from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} contain [[Index number|location indices]] for all of the Pokémon Centers at the time.
** The Japanese and Korean version of the [[Generation IV]] games still refer to the [[#New York (Nintendo World Store)|Nintendo World Store]] as PC New York (Japanese: {{j|ＰＣ}}ニューヨーク, Korean: {{k|PC}}뉴욕), even though they were released after the remodeling. Games from [[Generation V]] onwards do not have a location index for the Nintendo World Store.
** Beginning in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the games no longer have individual indices for each store, with only the Pokémon Center Tohoku retaining a distinct location index.

Gender

2023-01-13T21:12:38Z

Fudgenuggets: /* In spin-off games */

'''Gender''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|性別|せいべつ}}''' ''{{wp|sex}}'') is a characteristic of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s in the [[Pokémon world]].

In [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} were the only Pokémon shown to have a gender. Starting in the [[Generation II]] games, most Pokémon have a gender (including Pokémon previously transferred from Generation I games): male (Japanese: '''オス''' ''male'') or female (Japanese: '''メス''' ''female''); however, some species of Pokémon are [[gender unknown]]. The gender mechanic is fundamental to [[Pokémon breeding]].

In the [[core series]] games, starting in {{game|Crystal}}, the player can choose between a male (Japanese: '''{{tt|男性|だんせい}}''' ''male'') or female (Japanese: '''{{tt|女性|じょせい}}''' ''female'') [[player character]]. However, human men and women have appeared in all core series Pokémon games. Notably, some human characters, such as [[Ball Guy]] from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Blanche]] and [[Rhi]] from {{g|GO}}, and the unnamed player character in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], do not have a specified gender.

==Pokémon==
===In the core series===
====Determining gender====
One factor that determines gender is each Pokémon species's [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]], which is approximately how likely a Pokémon is a specific gender instead of the other.

=====Generation II=====
In [[Generation II]], a Pokémon's gender is determined based solely on its physical {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual value|IV]] when compared to its gender ratio. A Pokémon is female if its physical Attack IV is less than or equal to its species' gender ratio, otherwise it is male. For species that are exclusively one gender or gender unknown, the calculation based on the physical Attack IV is ignored.

Due to this calculation, it is impossible to obtain a female Pokémon with high physical Attack, unless the Pokémon is a member of an all-female species like {{p|Jynx}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Starter Pokémon and others with a gender ratio of seven males to one female suffer the most, with the maximum physical Attack IV for a female Pokémon of those species being 1.

Pokémon from the [[Generation I]] games are assigned a gender using the same process when transferred to the Generation II games, used in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], or transferred from the [[Virtual Console]] games to [[Pokémon Bank]]. As a result, a Pokémon maintains its gender when transferred between the Generation I and II games (even though the gender is not shown in the Generation I games, aside from {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}).

=====Generations III to V=====
<code>00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000</code> 

From [[Generation III]] to [[Generation V]], a Pokémon's gender is determined by the [[personality value]]'s lowest eight digits (the lowest byte, highlighted in red above) of ''p'' in binary form. Mathematically, this can be derived by calculating <code>''p'' [[wp:modulo operation|%]] 256</code>. Below, this value will be referred to as ''pgender''.

In a Pokémon species' {{OBP|Pokémon species data structure|Generation III|data structure}}, there is a value called the ''gender threshold'', a byte with a value ranging from 0 to 255. With the exception of a few special cases, ''pgender'' is compared to the gender threshold to determine if the Pokémon is male or female.

If the gender threshold is not a special value (0, 254, or 255), ''pgender'' is compared to the gender threshold. If ''pgender'' is greater than or equal to the gender threshold, the Pokémon is male, otherwise it is female. Because the comparison to determine gender is greater than or equal, Pokémon are slightly more likely to be male than they would be according to the ideal ratios.

If a species has a gender threshold of 255, all Pokémon of that species are gender unknown (such as {{p|Magnemite}}). If a species has a gender threshold of 254, it is a female-only species (such as {{p|Nidoran♀}}). If a species has a gender threshold of 0, it is a male-only species (such as {{p|Nidoran♂}}).

From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with {{a|Cute Charm}} is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), there is a 66.7% chance that the game will force an encountered Pokémon to be the opposite gender to the Pokémon with Cute Charm if it can be that gender. This does not affect a [[Mass outbreak|swarming]] Pokémon species or Pokémon found in [[Hidden Grotto]]s.

=====Generation VI onward=====
From [[Generation VI]] onward, the gender threshold is compared to a random number between 1 and 252 (inclusive) instead of ''pgender'' (which is between 0 and 255); this causes Pokémon with a "1:1" gender ratio to actually be distributed according to the ideal ratio. All other Pokémon are more likely to be the more common gender than they would be according to their nominal ratio.

=====Generation VIII=====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, due to a bug, all overworld [[symbol encounter]]s are forced to have a 1:1 gender ratio, excluding 100% Male, 100% Female, and [[Gender unknown]] species.

====Gender differences====
{{main|List of Pokémon with gender differences}}
[[Generation IV]] premiered minimal differences in sprite between two Pokémon of the same species. For example, a male {{p|Raichu}} will have the full tail seen in previous games, while the female is missing the very tip of it. [[Generation V|Generations V]] and {{gen|VI}} would introduce Pokémon with more drastic differences in appearance.

The only four Pokémon with gender differences that are not just aesthetic are {{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, and {{p|Oinkologne}}, who have different learnsets and sets of [[Ability|Abilities]] depending on its gender, with the latter two even having different [[base stats]].

=====Meowstic=====
The male Meowstic has {{a|Prankster}} and the female Meowstic has {{a|Competitive}} as its Hidden Ability. At certain levels, they learn different moves from one another: the male Meowstic learns [[status move]]s, while the female Meowstic learns [[special move]]s. In Generations {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}}, female Meowstic learned one gender-exclusive status move, {{m|Me First}}.

=====Indeedee=====
Indeedee differs more drastically by gender than Meowstic, with male and female Indeedee having slightly different [[base stats]] as well as learnsets. Male Indeedee have higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}, while female Indeedee have higher {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|HP}}. While male Indeedee can learn the [[TM]] and [[TR]] moves {{m|Power Swap}}, {{m|Trick Room}}, {{m|Magic Room}}, {{m|Wonder Room}}, {{m|Tri Attack}}, and {{m|Encore}}, female Indeedee can learn {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Guard Swap}}, and {{m|Baton Pass}}. The [[Egg Move]] {{m|Extrasensory}} is exclusive to male Indeedee while the Egg Moves {{m|Psycho Shift}} and {{m|Heal Pulse}} are exclusive to female Indeedee.

====Single-gender Pokémon====
=====Nidoran lines=====
The Nidoran family is a special case in terms of gender. Introduced in [[Generation I]], before gender was known for all Pokémon, {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} are considered separate species of Pokémon and indeed have many differences, from appearance to moveset. However, Nidoran Eggs have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂.

=====Eon Pokémon=====
While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} are in the {{egg2|No Eggs Discovered}} in the games, likely due to being [[Legendary Pokémon]], Latias have produced Eggs containing {{OBP|Latios|M05}} in the anime, confirming that they are similarly related.

=====Gender-based evolutions=====
Some Pokémon may have different ways of [[evolution|evolving]] depending on their gender. These Pokémon may therefore have one or more evolutions that can only be a single gender.

=====Other single-gender Pokémon=====
The following is a list of all Pokémon that are either 100% male or 100% female and have not been mentioned in an above section. In particular, these Pokémon have no explicit relation to a Pokémon of the opposite gender through evolution or breeding, although some of them may have a counterpart such as with {{p|Grimmsnarl}} and {{p|Hatterene}}.

====Single-gender forms====
Certain [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] of Pokémon are exclusively one gender. These forms are often based on established Pokémon characters. None of the Pokémon with these forms can breed.

====In battle====
The [[Love Ball]] is more effective when catching Pokémon that are of the opposite (or same in [[Generation II]], due to a programming error) gender of the player's Pokémon.

The following moves are dependent on gender:
{{movelist/battle-head|Cute}}
{{movelist/battle|2|Attract|Status|Cute|—|100|15|anyadjacent|If it is the opposite gender of the user, the target becomes infatuated and less likely to attack.}}
{{movelist/battle|4|Captivate|Status|Cute|—|100|20|adjacentfoes|If any opposing Pokémon is the opposite gender of the user, it is charmed, which harshly lowers its Sp. Atk stat.}}
{{movelist/battle|8|G-Max Cuddle|Physical|None|Varies|—|1|anyadjacent|Deals damage and all opponents of the opposite gender of the user become infatuated.}}
{{movelist/battle|8|G-Max Cuddle|Special|None|Varies|—|1|anyadjacent|Deals damage and all opponents of the opposite gender of the user become infatuated.}}

===In side series games===
====Pokémon Stadium 2====
[[Pokémon Stadium 2]] may connect to [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II]] [[core series]] games via the [[Transfer Pak]], and is compatible with Pokémon genders. While Generation I games don't identify Pokémon genders (other than {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}), the gender displayed in Pokémon Stadium 2 is the same as in the core series Generation II games, which is determined by the Pokémon's physical {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual value|IV]] when compared to its gender ratio.

For instance, a Pikachu from [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], or [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] is shown as either male or female in Pokémon Stadium 2.

===In spin-off games===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series====
=====Red and Blue Rescue Team=====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], there is no gender displayed for any Pokémon other than {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}. There are no gender-based game mechanics in battle, therefore {{m|Attract}} and {{a|Cute Charm}} are able to {{status|Infatuation|infatuate}} any opponent.

=====Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky=====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], male Pokémon, as well as gender-unknown Pokémon (such as {{p|Magnemite}}), have a 1.5x bonus applied to move's base critical rate before other modifiers are applied, and at the same time all moves that target them have 263/256 (~1.03x) accuracy multiplier if no other accuracy or evasion modifiers are in effect. Barring those that are gender-locked, Pokémon encountered on odd dungeon floors will always be male, and Pokémon encountered on even floors will always be female.

===In the anime===
Prior to the introduction of the gender mechanic in the games, some Pokémon were already shown to be male or female. For instance, {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}} from the [[Team Rocket trio]] is male, while [[Meowzie]] is female.

==Humans==
[[File:BW player selection English.png|thumb|Choosing to play as {{ga|Hilbert|male}} or {{ga|Hilda|female}} in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]]]]
{{main|:Category:Characters by gender}}

===In the games===
Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, {{player}}s were given the option of choosing to play as a boy or girl Trainer at the [[new game|start of the game]]. Since then, every game in the main series has included that choice. Starting in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the opposite-gender player character can also be encountered in the game with [[Gen VII]] being the only exception.

Some Trainer classes have male and female variants, such as {{tc|Swimmer}}s, while others appear to be counterparts, such as {{tc|Camper}}s and {{tc|Picnicker}}s. Others, such as [[Kimono Girl]]s, have no opposite-gender counterpart.

Certain in-game events may differ depending on the player character's gender. For example, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Curtis]] will be encountered if the player is female, and [[Yancy]] if the player is male. In {{g|X and Y}} and [[Generation VII]], availability of different [[List of clothing (Generation VI)|clothing]] is gender-specific. Also, only the female player character has the option of changing their lip color using lipstick stored in a [[Makeup Bag]] in Generation VII.

Outside of [[battle facility|battle facilities]], the gender of a [[non-playable character]] often determines the default gender of their Pokémon. If the Pokémon's species has an even [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 1 ♂|1:1 gender ratio]], then its gender will match its Trainer's; if the gender ratio is skewed, then the more common gender of the species will be used. Prior to [[Generation VII]], Trainer classes for [[Double Battle]]s are treated as male, even if both Trainers are female.

For some Trainers, especially [[Gym Leader]]s and the [[Elite Four]] since [[Generation V]], the default genders have been overridden to give their teams a more balanced gender distribution. Oddly, the [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]] and [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] all use male-dominant teams in rematches, even though the female Trainers use all-female teams in their initial battles. In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]], [[Bugsy]] uses all-female teams despite being male.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Ball Guy]]'s gender, along with their true identity and age, is unknown.

====In spin-off games====
Many [[Spin-off Pokémon games|side games]] in the Pokémon franchise allow the player to choose between a male or female [[player character]] as well.

The English localization of {{g|GO}} and its associated social media accounts avoid using gendered language or pronouns when referring to [[Blanche]], the leader of Team Mystic.<ref>"Blanche became visibly upset, which tends to happen when things don't go to their carefully curated plans." - [https://pokemongolive.com/post/willowreport-loomingshadow Willow Report: Looming in the Shadows — Pokémon GO]</ref> The German localization similarly stopped using gendered language to refer to them since 2020.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/de/seasons/heritage/#timedresearch-dec German Website for Season of Heritage]</ref> Likewise, [[Rhi]] has only been referred to using either their name or neutral third-person pronouns.<ref>'''Professor Willow:''' "Rhi says [Team GO Rocket] may be taking an interest in our otherworldly visitors, huh? I’m inclined to think '''they’re''' right. Good thing you’re here to save the day!" ({{g|GO}}, [[Special Research]] "Ultra Beast Protection Efforts")</ref>

The player character in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]] is noted to be gender unknown.<ref>"Hey, you! Um...boy? Girl? You're working hard raising that Magikarp of yours, aren't you?" —Man of Mystery, [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]</ref>

===In the anime===
In [[Kanto]], [[O-Hina Town]] hosts a female-exclusive tournament during the annual [[Princess Festival]]. Porta Vista also hosts a beauty pageant for women only, known as the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]]. In [[Kalos]], [[Pokémon Performer]]s are exclusively female, as only girls may participate in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

==Trivia==
[[File:Nidogender.png|thumb|250px|Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ show genders twice in [[Generation II]], but only once in [[Generation III]] onward]]
* Several Pokémon beside Nidoran were mentioned to have genders in [[Generation I]] games, prior to the introduction of the gender mechanic:
** A {{tc|Beauty}} in {{rt|13|Kanto}} asks "I wonder which is stronger, male or female <sc>Pokémon</sc>?"
** A character in [[S.S. Anne]] refers to a {{p|Machoke}} using a male pronoun: "My buddy, <sc>Machoke</sc>, is super strong! He has enough <sc>Strength</sc> to move big rocks!"
** In the French version, one of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] reads "<sc>Mew</sc> is now a dad (or a mom?). The newborn was named <sc>Mewtwo</sc>." (French: <sc>Mew</sc> est papa (ou maman?). Le petit fut baptisé <sc>Mewtwo</sc>.)
** Some early Pokédex entries specifically mention female Kangaskhan. ("The female raises its offspring in a pouch on its belly.", from Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as well as [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]]; "The female raises its young in its belly pouch for around three years.", from {{jap|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, as well as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}) This may imply that there are male Kangaskhan as well, although they are not seen in Pokémon media.
** {{p|Seaking}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry from {{game|Yellow}} mentions male Seaking. However, this game was released after the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], which already had Pokémon with genders.
* In [[Generation II]], a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s gender was determined through its {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual values|IV]]. Due to this, a female Pokémon could never have a maximized Attack [[statistic|stat]] (unless they were a member of an {{cat|Female-only Pokémon|all-female species}}, such as {{p|Smoochum}}), because female Pokémon were given the lower portion of the IV range. This also prevented female Pokémon of a {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|species with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}}, such as [[starter Pokémon]] or {{p|Eevee}}, from being {{Shiny}}, due to that ''also'' being based partly on the Attack IV. Because of this, their {{m|Hidden Power}} is always a physical type. From [[Generation III]] onward, neither of these traits are determined by IVs, allowing for Pokémon species with two genders to have females with maximized Attack and simultaneously retain their chances of being Shiny.
* Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names#Generation I|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, {{p|Mr. Mime}} may be of either gender; however, its name predates the introduction of gender to the series.
**Its Galarian evolution, {{p|Mr. Rime}}, also shares these traits, despite being introduced after the introduction of gender to the series.
* Since {{p|Azurill}} has a different gender ratio than {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azumarill}}, one in three female Azurill used to become male after evolving into Marill, dependent on the [[personality value]] of the Azurill in question, though this no longer happens since [[Generation VI]].
* In the international versions of Generation II, due to how the battlefield display is programmed, Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀ have their gender icon shown twice, once in their name, and once after the level. This does not occur in the Japanese and Korean games, however, as the gender icon was present after ''all'' Pokémon's names due to the shorter character limit there. This was addressed in all later generations, which prevent the gender icon from showing up when an un-nicknamed Nidoran of either gender is on the field.
* A [[non-player character]], {{tc|Beauty}} Nova in {{g|X and Y}}, is implied to be {{wp|transgender}}. She says that she was reborn as a Beauty after originally being a {{tc|Black Belt}} (a male-only {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}); in the Japanese versions, she credits this transformation to medical science.<ref>[http://legendsoflocalization.com/qa-is-this-character-in-pokemon-xy-transgender/ Q&A: Is This Character in Pokémon X/Y Transgender? « Legends of Localization]</ref>
* Although they are gender unknown Pokémon, {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are said to be the male and female final forms of {{p|Cosmog}}, respectively.

Player character

Fudgenuggets: /* Spin-off games */

{{incomplete|needs=Pokkén Tournament player characters}}
[[File:RedStart.png|thumb|The beginning of {{ga|Red}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon journey]].]]
A '''player character''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}}}''' ''protagonist'') in the {{pkmn|world}} of [[Pokémon]] is the main character in the plot of the [[Pokémon games]]. The player character is an avatar that represents the real player in the world of the game, and they are characterized by almost never speaking outside of occasional short dialogue options.

==In the core series==
In the [[core series]] games, the player characters are [[Pokémon Trainer]]s beginning their [[Pokémon journey]]. They are usually around 10 or 11-years-old<ref name="Lava"/> and start their journey in their [[hometown]] by getting a [[starter Pokémon]], a Pokémon that appears very early in their native [[region]]'s [[Regional Pokédex|Pokédex]], and is usually of the {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}. The region's resident [[Pokémon Professor]] will always give them this, as well as a Pokédex. Starting in {{game|Crystal}}, players can also choose their character's gender. Usually, they have [[rival]]s who begin their journey at about the same time. Players take part in several events, and meet a great number of Pokémon and people during their adventure. A common target is to conquer a [[Pokémon League]]'s eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Several additional side-quests occur during and after each game's main plot.

To date, only one player character has reappeared from an older generation in a role other than that of the player. In [[Generation II]] and the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV remakes]], when {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} travels to [[Mt. Silver]] and reaches the deepest point of the cave, {{ga|Red}} is found, utterly silent as he was under the player's control. At the time of these games' respective releases, {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|game}} was the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by an in-game Trainer ({{ga|Barry}}'s fully evolved starter Pokémon temporarily surpassed the standard set in Gold and Silver until the release of their remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver). Red reappeared in {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], and again in the [[Alola]]-based [[Generation VII]] games, as the leader of the [[Battle Tree]] with {{ga|Blue}}.

The player character can be named in all core series games at the beginning of the game using the same interface as that for entering [[nickname]]s for Pokémon.

==In the side series==
===Stadium series===
Three unnamed player characters appear in [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. Japanese-only {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}} featured one male character, whose design was likely based on {{ga|Red}}. However, for {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|the sequel}}, a brand new male character was created. This player was also in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where he was given a female counterpart. She appears when a player uses a {{game|Crystal}} Game Pak. Like the [[core series]] player characters, these three characters remain silent throughout the games.

Additionally, the Pokémon Stadium series includes various [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|minigames]] featuring Pokémon as player characters. For instance {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Voltorb}} are the player characters in "Thundering Dynamo" from {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}}, while {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} are the player characters in "Streaming Stampede" from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

===Orre series===
Aside from the standard that many of the games' player characters take in their journey, there are also several other ways in which other player characters complete their journey, such as [[Wes]] and [[Michael]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] who are called to defeat [[Cipher]] and free all of their [[Snagging|snagged]] Pokémon from their [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow state]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:May Kanto Grand Festival.png|thumb|220px|May's anime counterpart]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], six of the player characters have been given major roles, four of them in the main series. [[Ash Ketchum]] represents {{ga|Red}} (his game counterpart), being based on him in appearance as well as basic history ([[Ritchie]], by extension of resembling Ash, also resembles Red, although his basic history is unknown).

At the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', {{an|May}} was introduced in order to better represent [[Generation III]], as both [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] are characters who originated in [[Generation I]]. Likewise, at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', {{an|Dawn}} joined Ash to represent [[Generation IV]]. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', {{an|Serena}} joined Ash in order to represent [[Generation VI]].

{{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, taking a similar role to Ash and his companions, fighting [[Team Rocket]] members to protect [[Legendary Pokémon]]. While the protagonists of [[Generation II]] did not join Ash's company, these two filled the roles as the anime counterparts to {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}.

{{an|Lyra}} appeared in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', and joined the group for a brief time until ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''.

Ash and {{ashfr}} have also encountered several player characters from the side games. [[Todd Snap]] was the first, and a special case, as he originated in the anime before appearing in Pokémon Snap. He joins the group for a few episodes at two points in the [[original series]]: once during the [[S01|Kanto journey]] and once during the [[S04|Johto journey]]. The others, [[Solana]], [[Kellyn]], and {{ra|Ben}} are all {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s that Ash and friends assisted in rescuing and protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

So far, {{ga|Brendan}} has only made a few select cameo appearances at the beginning of some of the {{pkmn|movie}}s, while {{ga|Lucas}} made a cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where he was battling Brendan. {{ga|Ethan}} also appears with a second counterpart at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. Much later, {{ga|Rei}} made a cameo at the end of ''[[JNS04|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 4)]]''.

None of the Generation V or Generation VII player characters have yet been seen in the main anime.

[[File:Calem PG.png|thumb|left|220px|Calem in Pokémon Generations]]

===Pokémon Origins===
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} has a direct counterpart as the main character in [[Pokémon Origins]].

===Pokémon Generations===
Direct counterparts of {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|Hilbert}}, and {{ga|Calem}} appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]].

Much like Red, none of the other player characters depicted in the miniseries have any lines of dialogue.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Animated Trailer===
Nate and Rosa both appeared in [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer|the animated trailer for Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]].

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer===
Brendan and May both appeared in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer|the animated trailer for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

==In the manga==
Many of the characters appearing in various [[Pokémon manga]] are based on player and rival characters from the [[core series]] games. These characters usually play a major role within the series.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Ruby Adventures.png|thumb|150px|{{adv|Ruby}}, one of Brendan's manga counterparts]]
[[Pokémon Adventures]] features many [[cross-canon counterpart]]s for most of the player and rival characters in the games, with {{adv|Red}} being based on his game counterpart. This is also the case for his two fellow Kanto [[Pokédex holder]]s. The same applies for nearly all other main characters in the series; {{adv|Gold}}, for example, is based on the then-unnamed player character Ethan. However, because the [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]], the fourth installment to the first generation, gave no additional protagonists, {{adv|Yellow}} was created, revealed to have been the girl Red rescued in [[Viridian Forest]] before his battle with {{adv|Giovanni}}. {{adv|Emerald}} is another cognate case, as in the entirety of [[Generation III]], only two player characters were given. {{adv|Wally}}, the closest thing to a third main character, was dropped in favor of this new character designed entirely from scratch. As of the {{chap2|Diamond & Pearl}} and {{chap|Platinum}}s, only the first ten main characters have met each other, as none of the Sinnoh Dex Holders have ventured out of their region.

Additionally, though {{ga|Lyra}} is usually accepted as a different character from {{ga|Kris}}, {{adv|Crystal}} has appeared wearing her clothes to serve as a counterpart, rather than introducing a second [[Johto]] female protagonist for the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

===In other manga===
In addition to the Pokémon Adventures characters, there are many characters that have very similar character designs as player or rival characters from the games. These include {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], [[Rald]] from [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], and {{GnB|Black}} from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]].

==Trivia==
* According to Ken Sugimori, the player characters of {{g|Black and White}}, {{ga|Hilbert}} and {{ga|Hilda}}, were deliberately made to be older than the "10 or 11 years olds in previous games".<ref name="Lava">Nintendo Dream volume 201 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-4/ translation])</ref>
* Most of the male characters that {{Ash}}, the main character from the [[Pokémon anime]], has encountered have been from side games, like {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. The only counterpart of a male player character from the [[core series]] games who has met Ash is [[Ethan (game)#In the anime|Ethan]], in [[M13|the thirteenth movie]].
* {{ga|Red}}'s dialogue during his appearance as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] reflects the games' player characters' status as silent protagonists.
* The list of default names per gender generally repeats from game to game, starting in Pokémon Crystal. Exceptions to this are character-specific names, which are names unique to a character and are usually references to the title or aspects of the game.
* Until [[Generation V]], the given Japanese names of the male player characters in the core series games (as NPCs) all end in ''ki'' ('''キ'''). This excludes Red's appearance in Generations II and IV, as he is not a player character during the games when he is an NPC. Inclusively, Lunick's Japanese name also ends in ''ki''.
* Despite female player characters not being introduced until the second generation, there are more female player characters than male player characters (due to both Kris and Lyra existing for the Johto region).

[[File:Sinnoh.png|thumb|right|250px|In-game map of the Sinnoh region]]
The '''Sinnoh''' region (Japanese: '''{{tt|シンオウ地方|シンオウちほう}}''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located north of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]]. It is the setting of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is composed of the large mainland, the north-eastern island of the [[Battle Zone]], and several {{si|Pokémon League|smaller islands}} on both sides of the [[region]].

Most of Sinnoh's routes are on land, having very few water routes, in vast contrast to [[Hoenn]]. The region is divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region.

==Etymology and design concept==
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Sinnoh}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Sinnoh region as the island of {{wp|Hokkaido}}.]]
[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated that Sinnoh's name is based on the term 神奥, which translates to "mysterious"<ref>http://twitter.com/#!/Junichi_Masuda/statuses/141163315660464128</ref>. The geography of the Sinnoh is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}} and southern part of the Russian island {{wp|Sakhalin}}, as well as {{wp|Kunashir}}, which is claimed by Japan, but administered by Russia. Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula.

Most of all cities and towns in Sinnoh are positioned in the same way as the real cities and towns of the Japan while most of its design is based on it as well. [[Jubilife City]] is Sinnoh's largest city, which is based on {{wp|Sapporo, Hokkaido|Sapporo City}}, Hokkaido's largest city, while [[Veilstone City]] is based upon {{wp|Abashiri, Hokkaido|Abashiri City}}, a major port city.

Geographical features are similar as well, with the large mountain ranges of [[Mt. Coronet]] based from the {{wp|Ezo}} mountain chain, which is made up of the {{wp|Teshio Mountains}} ({{jwp|天塩山地}}), the {{wp|Kitami Mountains}} ({{jwp|北見山地}}), the {{wp|Ishikari Mountains}} ({{jwp|石狩山地}}), the {{wp|Yubari Mountains}} ({{jwp|夕張山地}}), and the {{wp|Hidaka Mountains}} ({{jwp|日高山脈}}). The three lakes of Sinnoh mimic {{wp|Lake Toya|Lake Tōya}}, {{wp|Lake Kussharo}} and Lake Kutcharo. The [[Sendoff Spring|fourth lake of Sinnoh]] is similar to {{wp|Lake Mashu|Lake Mashū}}, which is also known as a mysterious spot that has a dense layer of fog hiding the surface most of the time.

The numbering of the routes in the Pokémon world may also be a reference to Japan's own national route system, which goes from {{wp|Japan National Route 1|1}} to {{wp|Japan National Route 58|58}}, then skips directly to {{wp|Japan National Route 101|101}}, and then skips several more numbers. Routes in Sinnoh do not run concurrent to routes in Hokkaido; instead starting over after the set of routes in Hoenn.

==History==
According to several [[Sinnoh myths]], this region was the first of all the regions in the Pokémon world to have been created. In a void of nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} came into being, which then hatched into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon to be in existence. Arceus created {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and possibly {{p|Giratina}}, and Arceus then gave Dialga and Palkia the abilities to control time and space, respectively. Giratina was banished to [[Distortion World|another dimension]] for its violent behavior. Then, during the very early formation of the world, Arceus created {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Mesprit}} to create willpower, knowledge, and emotion respectively, things that are in all modern humans and Pokémon. They dove to the bottom of present-day [[Lake Valor]], [[Lake Acuity]], and [[Lake Verity]], an act which earned them the name "the lake trio". At that point, Arceus created the Sinnoh region and [[Mt. Coronet]] divided the region into two sections. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] was created and {{p|Heatran}} was formed in lava. Arceus finally created the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs before falling into a never-ending sleep at the [[Hall of Origin]].

Around this time, {{p|Mew}} was thought to have come into being by itself, containing the DNA of every Pokémon to exist and exist in the future. Human habitation of Sinnoh is estimated to have begun when Sinnoh was created, as said in [[Sinnoh myths|myth]]. It is stated that Pokémon and humans led separate lives, but always helped each other. They supplied each other with goods, and supported each other. A Pokémon proposed to the others to always be ready to help humans, and that Pokémon be ready to appear before humans always. Thus, to this day, Pokémon appear to humans if they venture into [[tall grass]].
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|left|250px|Palkia, Giratina, and Dialga on the Spear Pillar.]]
Later on came the events of [[Floaroma Town]]. According to the townspeople, Floaroma Town was once a barren and desolate hill. People started planting flowers around it to cheer up the place, but nothing would grow. Then, someone expressed thanks for a blessing of nature, and the whole hill burst into bloom. It is theorized that {{p|Shaymin}} was the cause of the sudden burst of flowers, given it being the Gratitude Pokémon, and its ability to "instantly transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers," according to its [[Pokédex]] entry.

{{spoilers}}

In contemporary history, {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon, like the recently reported [[red Gyarados]], in the nearby [[Lake Verity]]. After receiving one of [[Professor Rowan]]'s Pokémon to call their own, their journey begins in earnest, and both Lucas/Dawn and Barry challenge the Sinnoh region's eight Gyms to gain the Badges necessary to challenge the {{si|Pokémon League}}. Along the way, however, Lucas/Dawn is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to remake the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} (or {{p|Giratina}} in Platinum canon), Lucas/Dawn challenges Sinnoh's Elite Four and Champion, [[Cynthia]], and becomes Champion him/herself. In {{game|Platinum}}, Cyrus accidentally opened a portal to the [[Distortion World]] above [[Mt. Coronet]] while trying to create a new world for himself. The portal atop Mt. Coronet was able to be closed, but a passageway to this strange dimension still remains on the [[Turnback Cave|depths]] of [[Sendoff Spring]].

==Cities, routes, and other locations==
[[File:Sinnoh Region.png|thumb|300px|A detailed version of the in-game map of the Sinnoh region from [[Generation IV]] games]]
Sinnoh has fourteen [[List of cities and towns|cities and towns]], as well as three "areas", and a {{si|Pokémon League}}. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. The [[Fight Area]], the [[Survival Area]] and the [[Resort Area]] all act as towns, however, they appear to be more of a tourist destination and are not considered cities or towns. These three "areas" are located off Sinnoh's mainland and on the [[Battle Zone]], which is considered a sub-region of Sinnoh and is implied by some living on the island as a different region altogether, not unlike how the [[Sevii Islands]] are considered a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Thus, Sinnoh has a total of eighteen settlements all over Sinnoh.

The Sinnoh region has 30 different [[route]]s, which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from {{rtn|201|Sinnoh}} to {{rtn|230|Sinnoh}}. Compared to previous generations, there aren't many water routes; there are many land routes and mountains. There are also several routes with differing [[weather]]. Some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them. Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably {{rt|212|Sinnoh}} and {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, which both have two limbs of equal length.

Although it has few [[water route]]s, Sinnoh is known to be rich in water, and has three lakes at the northernmost ([[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]), easternmost ([[Lake Valor|Valor]]), and westernmost ([[Lake Verity|Verity]]) ends of the main continent. These are home to the [[lake guardians]]. Near Lake Valor there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]]. Some other significant locations that Sinnoh offers include [[Mt. Coronet]], the highest mountain in the Sinnoh region and part of a long mountain range that divides the region in half; the [[Eterna Forest]], a large and mysterious forest; and the [[Great Marsh]], a popular habitat for Pokémon and a [[Safari Zone]] for many Trainers.

In the anime, the Sinnoh region is far enough away to require going from Kanto to Sinnoh by either ship (as Ash, Pikachu, and Aipom did), or by truck (as evidenced by how Brock arrived in the region).

===Demographics===
The Sinnoh region's towns, cities and other areas have a total population of 704 in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and 755 in {{game|Platinum}}.

===Landmarks===
[[File:Mt. Coronet.png|left|thumb|200px|[[Mt. Coronet|Mt. Coronet range]], which divides the region into two parts]]
Sinnoh is home to many unique landmarks and areas of interest. These come in a range of tourist attractions such as the luxurious [[Hotel Grand Lake]] and the exciting [[Pal Park]], to many natural phenomena such as the four deep, blue lakes and the vast, dense [[Eterna Forest]]. But the central landmark of the Sinnoh region is Mt. Coronet. Standing in the middle of Sinnoh and extending from the northern wilderness to the southern tip of the region, Mt. Coronet splits Sinnoh into two halves. It is best defined as a mountain range, with its highest peak shrouded in legend, perhaps being the highest mountain in the entire Pokémon world. The Spear Pillar is situated at the highest point, an ancient shrine to Pokémon which is in ruins. Several of its pillars are still standing, all pointing skyward. The legend of the [[creation trio]] is deeply connected with the mountain, as is the plot of Team Galactic. A stained glass window in the Foreign Building in Hearthome City depicts the mountain with a bright shine, representing the Spear Pillar and possibly depicting the creation of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Its place in Sinnoh has caused variation in the species of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, which have different shapes and coloration depending on the side of Sinnoh they are native to.

On the north part of the region in the [[Battle Zone]], there is another mountain range, [[Stark Mountain]], which consists of an active volcano. The volcano rains ash down upon some parts of the Battle Zone. Outside the cavern is a rugged, seemingly indestructible rock mountain that is thickly blanketed by the volcanic ash it spews. Inside the mountain, fissures in spilled and hardened lava form enormous caverns. Another important landmark of Sinnoh is [[Eterna Forest]], a forest home to many Bug- and Grass-type Pokémon. The Eterna Forest has a reputation for being a mysterious place, from the abandoned [[Old Chateau]] to the strange [[Moss Rock]]. The Eterna Forest is a long and complex structure of trees that make it a natural maze, where a lot of people get lost. Eterna Forest has apparently been the location of numerous sightings of [[Team Galactic]], for many unknown reasons.

Another major landmark is the [[Great Marsh]]. The Great Marsh is a giant wetland that is subject to frequent or continuous flood. It houses many different kinds of Pokémon, some of which are unique to this environment. [[Pastoria City]] was settled to protect the area. It has grown naturally over the years and there is now a lookout that affords views of the Great Marsh. An almost sacred area is the trinity of lakes mysteriously situated throughout the region to form the corners of a triangle. [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] are tied to the myth of the creation of the Pokémon world, specifically the creation of spirit. The lakes are said to be inhabited by the three Legendary pixies: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. They are meant to represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower, respectively.
[[File:Sinnoh Underground Map DPPt.png|thumb|right|[[The Underground]]; a series of tunnels dug out below Sinnoh|300px]]
The [[The Underground|Underground]] is a famous attraction to the Sinnoh region, because of the fact that it is not located above the surface of the region, but below in a series of tunnels dug out by people. There are six independent sections of the labyrinth, each accessible from different places in Sinnoh. In terms of vendors and mining treasures, the areas are equivalent. One of the main attractions of the Underground is the mining game in which rare items can be found.

The Sinnoh region is the only area where an extreme natural phenomenon has occurred; the gateway to another universe has opened due to the actions of {{p|Giratina}}. At first, Giratina uses [[Turnback Cave]], a cave located in the depths of the mysterious and secret fourth lake of Sinnoh, [[Sendoff Spring]], as a portal to the [[Distortion World]]. It is said that Turnback Cave is a weak point between dimensions, and that the ability to travel across to the Distortion World would be possible. The Distortion World is a mysterious place that disobeys the normal laws of physics: time does not flow and spatial relations are irregular, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. Trees and rocks can simply grow out of the ground, and then disappear. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is Giratina.

==Geography==
===Environment===
[[File:Sinnoh Anime.png|thumb|right|290px|Oblique view of the Sinnoh region from above.]]
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. Its terrain is varied: some parts of the region are dry and mountainous; others are wet and swampy. The region is rich in water.

Due to its large size, the main region of Sinnoh can be broken into two sub-regions divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region. Due to this, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have developed an instance of regional {{wp|speciation}}, with members of the species found on the eastern side being blue-colored and members on the western side being pink-colored.

The western half of Sinnoh features a variety of landscapes. Its coasts are notably more rocky than the eastern half, however, the land is far more fertile, and the towns, for the most part, are rural. A windswept canyon, carved out by a river that flows from Mt. Coronet, is home to the [[Valley Windworks]], which provides clean, wind-driven electricity to the nearby towns. This is not to say, however, that there is no importance to west Sinnoh, as [[Oreburgh City]], [[Eterna City]], and [[Canalave City]] are the locations of [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]], and [[Jubilife City]], at the heart of the area, is the most technologically advanced city in the region.

Sinnoh's eastern half is home to a vast many more things, including [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in [[Hearthome City]], a [[Veilstone Department Store|Department Store]] in [[Veilstone City]], the [[Great Marsh]] of [[Pastoria City]], and the awe-inspiring [[Vista Lighthouse]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. In each of these cities, as well, there is a Pokémon Gym, which is very important for League-bound {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.
[[File:Torn World.png|thumb|left|250px|Mt. Coronet's peak, with the entrance to the [[Distortion World]] above it, from the northwest.]]
Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mt. Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area. This is likely due to the cold climate and snowy terrain in the area. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint has a Pokémon Gym, making it another important stop for Trainers who wish to compete in the Pokémon League.

A third sub-region is the [[Battle Zone]], which is on a large island to the northeast of the mainland. Much like how people from the [[Sevii Islands]] seem to consider their home to be a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], people from the Battle Zone often refer to Sinnoh as a separate region. Several islands, including [[Newmoon Island]], [[Fullmoon Island]], and [[Iron Island]], lie off the northwestern coast of Sinnoh as well, though these are far eclipsed in both size and importance by the mainland.

Separated from both the Battle Zone and the mainland of Sinnoh by several straits is the island on which the {{si|Pokémon League}} of Sinnoh is located, the only access to which is by way of {{rt|223|Sinnoh}}. It is here where Sinnoh's {{si|Victory Road}} is located, which, unlike previous incarnations has not two, but three entrances: one of these, of course, is the southern entrance that Trainers from the mainland must navigate from, a second is the one that leads to the area in which the [[Elite Four]] can be challenged, and the third leads from a {{m|Defog|foggy}} area of Victory Road to {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, which is said to be a miniature version of Sinnoh. North from Route 224, the [[Seabreak Path]] leads to {{p|Shaymin}}'s domain, the [[Flower Paradise]].

===Climate===
The climate of Sinnoh varies widely, and most of the region is made of mountainous or hilly areas. Unlike [[Hoenn]], which is located in the south where the climate is warmer, Sinnoh is located on the northern boundaries of the world where the temperature is cooler. It is so cold in the northern part of the region that snow falls constantly. The harsh snow that blows down from the mountain's peaks not only makes the area very cold, but makes the {{rt|217|Sinnoh|routes in the area}} perilous to travel on. Cities such as [[Snowpoint City]] are completely covered in snow, and Pokémon who live nearby have had to adapt to the climate. Recently, the southern side of the region has also become cooler; climate change is taking a toll. Areas such as [[Twinleaf Town]] and {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} now have small amounts of snow on the ground.

However, not all of the northern areas of Sinnoh are covered in snow. Due to the dry environments and mountainous areas such as [[Stark Mountain]], the small island known as the [[Battle Zone]] is subject to warmer climates. A constant sandstorm rages on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} due to the flow of wind down though the mountains. Some of the southern areas of the Battle Zone are very tropical and contain dense jungles.
[[File:Sinnoh from the sky.png|thumb|right|250px|A part of the Sinnoh region where the city meets the sea]]
The mainland features full land geography, with only five [[water route]]s. Despite this lack of water routes, in contrast to the [[Hoenn]] region, Sinnoh is known to be rich in water. Rivers that originate from the highlands and mountains in the center of the landmass runs through the region passing many cities, towns, and routes and into the ocean. There are many lakes throughout the region such as [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Verity]]. All these factors create a tropical climate throughout the mainland. Many large cities settle on or close to the seaside; some of them have large ports.

Further inland, there are many different climates. Due to the mountain zones, different inland areas are subject to rain. This rain creates wetlands. Such areas may also be covered partially or completely by shallow pools of water. The soil in the wetland area is permanently saturated with moisture, which creates swamps, marshes, and bogs. In fact, [[Pastoria City]] was founded on marshy soils that attracted wild Pokémon. Unlike other regions, Sinnoh is sometimes troubled by fog. {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} is often covered in a thick cloud that makes obstacles and Trainers difficult to see; fortunately for travelers, {{m|Defog|this can be easily cleared}}.

===Energy sources===
The Sinnoh region is famed for its energy production and conservation via natural resources. Different areas of Sinnoh use different sources of energy for the use of power generation, heating, and transport fuels. The [[Oreburgh Mine]] is one of the main features in Oreburgh City, as well as the city's leading energy source. Its energy is exported to many parts of the region, including its neighbor, [[Jubilife City]], whose large population consumes a lot of energy. The mine is the livelihood of the town. Vents in the town allow steam to escape and fresh air to enter the mine, likely also clearing the mine of any poison gas (which is historically the bane of coal miners). The mine is operated with the utmost care to avoid causing damage to the natural habitats of wild Pokémon. The system of taking coal out of the mine is automated.

Another local energy source is the [[Valley Windworks]]. The Valley Windworks is a large wind farm situated in a windy valley close to Mt. Coronet, so as to generate as much electricity as possible. It is located just off {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}, a short walk east from Floaroma Town. In the area, there are eight tall wind turbines which generate energy that is in turn processed by the power plant in the center of the area. Many towns benefit from the natural renewable energy including [[Floaroma Town]], and [[Eterna City]].

The third and final renewable energy source Sinnoh has to offer is [[Sunyshore City]]'s solar panels, which are ingeniously designed for the use of power and transportation. Because the city is on the coast and gets hit by a lot of sunlight, the solar panels were built to collect energy for little cost, no pollution, and convenience to the city's citizens. It was also built due to the lack of space. However, there is a disadvantage: the solar panel system is often broken, and the city will experience massive blackouts at times. Citizens of and visitors to the city are able to walk around the city on top of the solar panels.

==Sinnoh League==
{{main|Sinnoh League}}
[[File:Sinnoh Elite Four.png‎|thumb|right|250px|The current members of Elite Four]]
The regional Pokémon League in the Sinnoh region is known as the Sinnoh League. The Sinnoh League is composed of eight [[Gym Leader]]s and four [[Elite Four]] members, along with the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Pokémon Trainers who earn eight [[Badge]]s by defeating the Gym Leaders of the Sinnoh League qualify to challenge the Elite Four located in the {{si|Pokémon League}} building. Gym Leaders are located in different cities and towns, each with their own specialty [[type]]. It is the Gym Leader's job to be the protector of their respective town or city, as they should be the strongest Trainer residing there. Once all Gym Leaders have been defeated, Trainers may face the Elite Four and its Champion. To defeat the Elite Four, all five Trainers must be defeated in succession.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sinnoh DP Map.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Sinnoh artwork from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond and Pearl}}]]
* If one were to draw lines to connect the three lakes of Sinnoh, they form a big triangle with [[Mt. Coronet]] at the center. This is the same formation that {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} make on the top of the [[Spear Pillar]] with {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in the middle, as well as the same formation put in areas relating to the [[Sinnoh myths]].
* Only the southern part of the now-Russian island of Sakhalin is referenced in the region. In the 1855 Treaty of Shimoda, Russia and Japan agreed to split the island, with Japan receiving the southern end. While Japan gave Russia full control of Sakhalin in 1875 in exchage for the Kuril Islands, Japan was again given the southern 2/5ths of the island after the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, and would retain control until 1945.
* Sinnoh is the only region of the core series games that has more than five letters in its English name, having six.
** Sinnoh is also the only area traveled through where all the Gym Leaders that have been featured have appeared in an episode before Ash battled them.
* Sinnoh has an [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|index number location]] programmed into [[Generation IV]] for it, despite the fact that all Sinnoh locations are programmed into the games already. This index location is at #2006, which coincidentally, was the Japanese release of Sinnoh's first games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. This does not happen for the other three regions programmed in (i.e. Kanto is 2003, not 1996, Johto is 2004, not 1999, and Hoenn is 2005, not 2002). This data is unused during normal gameplay (i.e. without hacking); Pokémon from Sinnoh traded to a game taking place in Johto display their normal "met at" area, much like Pokémon from [[Kanto]] do when traded to Emerald.
* Sinnoh has been shown to have more [[Shiny Pokémon]] inhabiting it than any other region featured in the [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime#Shiny Pokémon|anime]] with a total of seven; {{p|Dustox}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Ditto}}, [[Legendary beasts (M13)|Raikou, Entei, Suicune]], and {{p|Ariados}}.
* Sinnoh is the only region in which the final evolution of each starter Pokémon is owned by one Gym Leader or Elite Four member.
**[[Crasher Wake]] has an Empoleon, [[Gardenia]] has a Torterra, and {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}} has an Infernape.
*The adjectival form of Sinnoh is "Sinnohan," as shown in the description for an assortment of [[Poffins]] being sold by [[Thrifty Megamart]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

'''Reversal Mountain''' (Japanese: '''リバースマウンテン''' ''Reverse Mountain'') is a mountain located in eastern [[Unova]]. It is connected to [[Undella Town]] from the east and to [[Lentimas Town]] from the west. The [[Strange House]] is just east of Lentimas Town on the exterior of the mountain. The mountain's interior differs between versions: in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2]], the mountain's interior is filled with water, while in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon White 2]], it is filled with magma. Inside of the mountain, [[Bianca]] will join the player as a tag partner.

Reversal Mountain was where {{p|Heatran}} used to come to cool off. If the player finds and brings the [[Magma Stone]] to the mountain's lowest floor, Heatran will appear.

==Trivia==
* Reversal Mountain's name might be based on the different conditions in the interior between the versions and the different times of eruptions.
* When talking to Battle Girl Chan after fighting her, she says "A flood of attacks from three Pokémon... I know! “Jetstream” attack! Let’s call it that." This is a reference to a famous combat formation from the anime ''{{wp|Mobile Suit Gundam}}'' involving three units, two focusing on distanced attacks and one focusing on melee.
* Reversal Mountain seems to be a dormant volcano in Black 2, and an active one in White 2. However, true to its name, their respective map descriptions seem to be reversed. 
* According to the hiker in the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Lentimas Town]], Reversal Mountain is the same kind of volcano as [[Stark Mountain]].

'''"Looker"''' (Japanese: '''ハンサム''' ''Handsome'') is the codename for a character introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. He was first announced in an issue of [[CoroCoro]] as an [[International Police]] officer on assignment investigating [[Team Galactic]] and its plans.

==In the games==
===In Platinum===
[[File:Spr Pt Looker.png|thumb|left|Looker's sprite used during Platinum's opening]]
[[File:Looker.png‎|thumb|left|The {{player}} first meets Looker.]]
In {{game|Platinum}}, Looker is an important character, encountering the {{player}} multiple times over their journey across [[Sinnoh]]. He speaks with odd grammatical constructs, implying that he is not a native speaker of the {{pkmn|nation}}al language; however, this is not present in the Japanese version. He first meets the player in [[Jubilife City]], giving them the [[Vs. Recorder]], and appears often when Team Galactic is near. His motives are clear: his mission is to stop Team Galactic from causing havoc in the Sinnoh region. He is then met again at the [[Valley Windworks]], right after Team Galactic flee from the area. Disappointed in just missing them, he searches the area for clues, which leads him somehow to the [[Galactic Eterna Building]], where Team Galactic have kidnapped [[Rad Rickshaw]]'s Pokémon. Looker infiltrates the building by disguising himself as a Team Galactic grunt.

The player next encounters Looker at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], if one decides to look there. If not, then he will appear after the player and {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} battle the Galactic Grunts in front of the [[Galactic Warehouse]]. He leads the player into the warehouse and realize that the inner door is locked. He also finds {{HM|02|Fly}}, leaving the player to take it.

Looker will appear once the player goes to [[Team Galactic HQ]] and talks to the Grunt outside. He will reveal that he has the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Storage Key}} and will tell the player to meet him in the Galactic Warehouse. Once there, he will open the door and go down to investigate.

Inside the headquarters, he will not be seen until the player reaches the meeting room, where he is seen eavesdropping on a gathering of members of Team Galactic. He will tell the player to listen to their meeting with him. When it is over, he will leave again.

Later, he gives the player a {{DL|Flute|Black Flute}} when they are about to go off to the [[Spear Pillar]].

When [[Cyrus]] retreats into the [[Distortion World]], Looker shifts his investigation towards [[Charon]], who has taken control of the team. This is because Looker stumbles upon Charon's notes of his plans back at the [[Team Galactic HQ]]. He is not seen again until after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]], when they journey to [[Stark Mountain]]. Here he is seen in the final stages of his investigation, arresting Charon and ending Team Galactic's reign of terror once and for all.

After this, he can be found in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. He mentions that he wants to spend his remaining time in Sinnoh to teach new moves to his Pokémon.

====Disguises====
Looker is shown to be quite good at disguising himself. His prime disguise is that of a Team Galactic grunt. At Stark Mountain, before he apprehends Charon, he disguises himself as a {{m|Rock Smash|smashable rock}}.

====Pokémon====
Although he does not battle with or against the player at all during the entirety of the game, it is known that he has a {{p|Croagunk}}. He uses it to get the [[Magma Stone]] from Charon at Stark Mountain.

====Quotes====
{{incomplete|section}}
=====[[Jubilife City]] (first visit)=====
:''"WHAAAT?! ...How did you know? How did you unmask me as a member of the International Police?!"''

:''"...Heh. You claim you were only {{ga|Dawn|making}} {{ga|Lucas|conversation}}, do you? But, I know better not to believe that. No, no, no. You recognized right away that I was someone extraordinary. That is why you spoke to me, is it not? Your power of observation is fearsome! Quite admirable, you are! Now that my cover has been blown, let me introduce myself. I am a globe-trotting elite of the International Police. My name... Ah, no. I shall inform you only of my code name. My code name, it is Looker. It is what they all call me. Incidentally, is the saying, 'Don't be a thief!' familiar to you?"''
::'''No''': ''"No? You claim to not know it? How could that be? Perhaps your mama has said it, but you have forgotten it, like usual? Now listen, my friends. It is wrong to take what belongs to others. Unfortunately, there are apparently those who do not heed those words. In [[Sinnoh]], in fact, there are [[Team Galactic|criminals]] stealing the Pokémon of others. I have, therefore, been on the lookout for characters arousing my suspicion. Incidentally, you are {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, yes? Perhaps you can make use of this? That [[Vs. Recorder]], it is a nifty device for recording a match. I obtained it because it is quite popular these days. But myself, I do not do Pokémon battling very often. It will be in better hands with you. Also, I have a request. If you were to see me again, I ask that you not talk to me, for I am on duty. ...Actually, yes, yes, you may speak to me. You must. Not because I am lonely, no, no! You must inform me of bad guys! You must inform me of any happenings!"''

::'''Yes''': ''"Yes, that is correct. Taking what belongs to others is wrong. Unfortunately, there are apparently those who do not heed those words. In [[Sinnoh]], in fact, there are [[Team Galactic|criminals]] stealing the Pokémon of others. I have, therefore, been on the lookout for characters arousing my suspicion. Incidentally, you are {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, yes? Perhaps you can make use of this? That [[Vs. Recorder]], it is a nifty device for recording a match.

You must inform me of any happenings!"''

=====[[Jubilife City]] (second visit)=====
:''"Ah, yes. I see that you have obtained it, a [[Pal Pad]] for yourself. I myself, a member of the International Police, the fighters of crime around the world, have one also. For it is what one must have to trade with Trainers around the world. Take that Pal Pad to the [[Global Terminal]] for [[Trade|trading]] on an international level! Anyway, there appears to be no one shady in this Jubilife City. I shall therefore take my investigation elsewhere. But, my friend, I suggest you remain vigilant for shady grown-ups!"''

=====[[Valley Windworks]]=====
:''"Ah, yes. It is you, yes. I have heard that the Team Galactic appeared at this power plant I have, therefore, come running. So, the Team Galactic. Where are they? ... You have run them off, you say? You are a Trainer, but...? Very well! I shall go investigate inside! Magnificent! Yes, it is! What you have said, it is all true! Superb! Though you are young, you are a Trainer through and through! Very well! I shall pursue the culprits! I have received tips that the [[Galactic Eterna Building|Team Galactic hideout]] is in [[Eterna City]]. To there, I must be off!"''

=====[[Galactic Eterna Building]]=====
:''"Hello! It is me! Me! Hahaha! I have startled you, yes? I am, after all, an officer of the International Police. It is only natural that I be a master of disguise. ...Incidentally, you are a first-rate Trainer. Of that, I am very aware. I therefore think you will be OK, but I must warn you to be careful anyway. Also, a word of advice. This building, it has two stairs. One of them, a trap it must be. But the crooks of Team Galactic, they do not appear, how shall I say, smart. There should be an easy way to tell the stairs apart!"''

=====[[Veilstone Game Corner]]=====
:''"Ah, it is you, yes. I have decide to use opportunity of being here in Sinnoh. I am therefore trying to teach moves to Pokémon that I have captured. Also, if I have nothing to do, it means the world, it is at peace. ...Ack. My streak is broken."''

=====[[Stark Mountain]]=====
:''"Go, go, go!"'''
:''"Excellent work, CROAGUNK!"''
:''"Pah! Disguising myself as a boulder for stakeout was not easy!"''
:''"Now, old-timer, the International Police cordially requests your cooperation. I am sure you have much to tell us about the new Team Galactic. With Cyrus, Mars, and Jupiter gone, you are all that is left."''
:''"You can tell us all about it. We have plenty of time. Oh, no, no. No resisting arrest. You can't win three-on-one, no? OK, officers, over here, if you will."''
:''"He is an old man. This heat cannot be good for him. Quickly, take him somewhere cool. Yes, the cooler will do!"''
:''"<Player>! And you, [[Buck|unfamiliar boy]]! I wish to say something. First, it is too hot! Let us exit this environment!"''
:''"Whew! The air outside, it is delicious, yes! ...Gweh! Gah! Geff! Bleah! I have inhaled volcanic ash by the lungful! Now, you two. This is what they were after. The Magma Stone. Moving this is said to awaken the Pokémon HEATRAN. The old tales say that its awakening, it will make Stark Mountain erupt. ...But I have moved it. It is here. Will this cause the eruption?!"''
:''"That boy, he has quite the energy, yes? <Player>, I should tell you why I have arrived here. After we parted at Mt. Coronet, I investigated their hideout. I uncovered Charon's plot, which led me to a stakeout of this place. That Charon is now securely within our custody. It is safe to say the Team Galactic is a threat no longer. That being said, it looks like my work here is finally finished."''
:''"I, also, will take my leave. 'The more wonderful the meeting, the sadder the parting.' That is a quote I heard many years ago in a foreign land. Its meaning... I understand it better now. Farewell, <player>, my friend! Long may you cherish Pokémon!"''

===In Black and White===
[[File:LookerBW.png|thumb|right|Looker meeting {{ga|Hilda}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
Looker is found in {{game|Black and White|s}}, where he is assigned to capture the [[Seven Sages]] of [[Team Plasma]] after the events at [[N's Castle]].

He first meets the player at their home in [[Nuvema Town]], after the player defeats Team Plasma at N's Castle. He appears disguised as the player's [[mom|mother]], only to realize that he forgot to remove his disguise. He asks for the player's assistance in finding the Seven Sages, and gives the player a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}.

Looker will appear upon finding each sage to take him into custody. After apprehending the final sage, Looker tells the player that [[N]] was seen in a distant land with a {{t|dragon}} Pokémon.

====Quotes====
=====[[Nuvema Town]]=====
:''"Incredible, really. Amazing, absolutely, meeting these two Pokémon of legend!"''
:''"Oh! I still wear my disguise! Pardon! Or, rather, let me introduce myself."''
:''"I am a globe-trotting elite of the [[International Police]]. My name... Ah, no, I shall inform you of my code name only. My code name, it is Looker. It is how I am called! Behind the scenes in this region of Unova, an organization called Team Plasma conspires... This I have heard, and therefore, to this region I must come, but... Thanks to the Gym Leaders and to you, yes, Team Plasma's castle has fallen. And the members, they have gone upon their separate ways! This is what I hear, most certainly!"''
:''"But, however! However, but... The ones known as the Seven Sages--still they hide themselves in the Unova region."''
:''"And so, in the end, it explains why I must ask this of you, Trainer of amazing skill! Travel the Unova region and search it up and search it down for the Seven Sages! Alder, the Champion of renown, recommended you to my notice. Are you willing to help me?"''
::'''No''': ''"Ah, ah! Yet once more shall I ask! If you please, travel the Unova region and search it low and high for these Seven Sages!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! I thank you! Now I feel as if I have perhaps a million people on my side. Permit me to give this into your hands!"''
:''"Yes, correct! It is certainly a Super Rod!"''
:''"I see. It is truly <player>'s mama to ask so! What a magnificent question! I admire it. It is my pleasure to answer. Absolutely nothing!"''
:''"Yes, I shall provide the explanation of this, the Super Rod! First! Face the water and employ the rod! Second! Concentrate your focal point! When it occurs that these Pokémon bite, "!" will indicate. Immediately, reel in! For the rest, <player>, I depend upon you!"''

=====Across Unova=====
* Upon arresting each sage (says one of these at random)
:''"Ah... And now, about Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and there are so many things you must tell me at once!"''
:''"Regarding Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and you must satisfy request for certain information!"''
:''"Indeed! I am an officer of the International Police, and I demand to hear all you know about Team Plasma!"''
:''"On the topic of Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, so you would be wise to share all you know."''
:''"Regarding Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and you must supply the information I request!"''

* When there are still sages remaining (says one of these at random)
:''"Accept my thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. What is it they are thinking, what it may be they are hoping, this is the information I pursue. Until we meet again!"''
:''"Accept my thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. They are thinking--upon what topics? They are hoping--upon what chances? This is of the utmost urgency! At once! On the way!"''
:''"Many thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. What is it they are thinking, what it may be they are hoping, this is the information I have need of. Until we meet again!"''
:''"Thanks many times over! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. The thoughts they are contemplating, the hopes they are anticipating, these--these are what I want to know! Until our next meeting!"''
:''"Truly, I thank you! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. Their innermost thoughts, their uttermost hopes... These I must and shall discover! Once more, a brief farewell!"''

* When the last sage is arrested
:''"Thank you a lot! Eh, <player>... On a topic I must speak to you. Having received such a report, of someone far from here, who has seen a person like N and...a dragon Pokémon. I am on my way to verify the veracity of this information. We will meet again one day!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Looker anime.png|thumb|right|240px|Looker in the anime]]
Looker made his debut appearance in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met Looker while taking a train leading to [[Lake Acuity]], and decided to help him distribute lunch boxes which he has bought too many of. He decided to investigate the reason behind the signal which caused the train to stop and discovered it was the doing of [[Team Galactic]].

He appeared again in ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]'', investigating Team Galactic's activities in [[Mt. Coronet]], as well as disguising himself as a {{tc|Galactic Grunt|grunt}} to blend in.

Looker made another appearance in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', having been captured by Team Galactic and held at the [[Fuego Ironworks]]. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'' Team Galactic members were arrested by him.

Looker had built an alliance with {{TRT}} while trying to take down Team Galactic. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} like to refer to him as '''Boxed-Lunch Guy''' (Japanese: '''ランチボックスさん''' ''Mr. Lunchbox'') because he gave them boxed lunches while on the Ampharos Train. That simple act left them extremely loyal to him.

Looker appears in the {{chap|Platinum}} where he helps {{adv|Platinum}} in her investigation of the [[Distortion World]]. In this canon, Looker has many gadgets known as the "International Police arms"; all of these gadgets are cheaply made and have a tendency to either fall apart or explode.

Looker first appears in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} where he interrogates the two scientists that {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Platinum}} had previously fought earlier in the story. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Looker makes his appearance looking for his client, usually getting into humorous situations before doing so. He eventually meets up with his client, Platinum Berlitz and joins her in her quest to research information on the Distortion World so that she can rescue her original bodyguards [[Paka]] and [[Uji]].

Looker joins Platinum as she goes through the various Battle Facilities and usually helps her when she is having trouble in them. In the Battle Castle, he manages to help Platinum with her money managing troubles and helps her defeat {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}}. While Platinum goes through the Battle Arcade, Looker goes to help their ally [[Buck]] fight [[Team Galactic]] on [[Stark Mountain]]. After Platinum sends her Pokémon to go and help them while she goes through the Battle Factory; they eventually return but Looker and Buck are seriously injured.

After Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum control the legendary Pokemon who were rampaging inside the Distortion World, Looker appears, fully recovered, to arrest [[Charon]], who has been using a machine with an ability to control legendary Pokemon. He later tgives chase to the other Team Galactic commanders until the International Police contacts him. He is ordered to head to [[Unova]] and investigate on the activities of the "[[Seven Sages]]" . Looker leaves immediately until remembering to give Diamond a {{p|Manaphy|Pokemon egg}} he recieved from the {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s in [[Fiore]]. He is last seen heading to [[Castelia City]].

'''Pokéstar Studios''' (Japanese: '''ポケウッド''' ''Pokéwood'', formally called '''ポケウッドムービースタジオ''' ''Pokéwood Movie Studio'') is a film studio in the [[Generation V]] games {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} located north of [[Virbank City]]. Like [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, the [[Pokéathlon]], and [[Pokémon Musical]]s from previous games, Pokéstar Studios provides {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with an alternative to battling.

Pokéstar Studios allows the {{player}} to take part in making films involving Pokémon. The films feature a scenario chosen by the player and a number of [[Pokémon battle]]s. [[Roxie]]'s father and [[Brycen]] have co-starred in several films produced in the studio.

The facility is run by an elderly man named '''Stu Deeoh''' (Japanese: '''ウッドウさん''' ''Mr. Woodo'').

==In the games==
===Location===
Pokéstar Studios is found in southwest [[Unova]]. It is connected to [[Virbank City]] from the south and can only be accessed after the {{player}} has defeated the [[Virbank Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] [[Roxie]].

===Making films===
[[File:B2W2 Prerelease Pokéwood Typhlosion.png|thumb|right|200px|A {{p|Typhlosion}} takes on Mecha {{p|Tyranitar}}]]
To make a film, the {{player}} goes to a room with a green screen and faces a person in a [[Pokémon battle]]. During the battle, several script options are shown. The player must choose the option that best matches the movie script. The options chosen will determine the course of the film.

Once the filming is complete, the player can watch the movie in the theater, with up to eight films able to play in the theater simultaneously. Beyond eight, the player will have to choose between either deleting an existing film or not (the box sales records do remain even if a film is removed).

There are three types of endings that a movie can get:
* '''Good Ending''' - Generated by following the script. Creates a good, if predictable, ending. Getting the good ending usually unlocks the next movie in the series. The player can tell they are getting the good ending based on the pleased reactions of the director.
* '''Bad Ending''' - Generated by deviating from the script, such as acting out of character (acting scared when playing a superhero, ''not'' acting scared when a zombie appears, etc) or not completing the battle puzzle properly. Directors have an aggravated response when triggering a bad ending.
* '''Strange Ending''' - Generated by deviating from the script a certain way, causing a puzzled response from the director. Strange endings change the nature of the movie entirely and generate a shocked reaction.

If the player manages to create a strange ending with their own Pokémon, their Pokémon will become a star, thus they will be given a special entry animation, much like when a [[Shiny Pokémon]] is sent out. The entry animation will be removed if the player then creates a bad ending using the same Pokémon.

'''Team Plasma''' (Japanese: '''プラズマ{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Plasma-dan'', literally ''Plasma Gang'') is the [[villainous team]] in [[Unova]]. Team Plasma's goal is to free Pokémon from humans.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Team Plasma is met early in the games. [[Geechisu]] appears in [[Karakusa Town]] where he is holding a rally trying to get people to join Team Plasma's cause. Following this rally the {{player}} will be approached and battled by a person named [[N]]. After this the player will next come across two Plasma Grunts at the [[Site of Dreams]] who are trying to capture a {{p|Munna}} in order to get some [[Dream Smoke]] to spread their message in people's dreams. After defeating them here they will steal a young girl's Pokémon and hide in the [[Underground Waterway Opening]]. The player will team up with [[Cheren]] and save the Pokémon.

After defeating [[Aloe]] at the [[Shippou Gym]], Team Plasma will attack the museum in [[Shippou City]] and steal a bone from the Dragon fossil. As the player gives chase, N will appear again and battle the player. After this the player heads into [[Yaguruma Forest]] where they will defeat the Plasma Grunts and return the Dragon Bone to the museum. The next encounter is in [[Hiun City]] where they have stolen [[Bel]]'s Munna. After confronting them, they will give Munna back and leave.

After entering [[Raimon City]], they player will find two grunts harassing an old man. After defeating them they will run off. After heading over to the Ferris wheel, N will appear again. N and the player will take a ride on the Ferris wheel where N will reveal that he is the leader of Team Plasma. The two will then battle after getting off the Ferris wheel. The next encounter will be in [[Hodomoe City]]. Cheren will appear and say that Team Plasma has been seen in the city. One of the [[Seven Sages]] and some grunts are at the [[Freezing Container]] plotting something. [[Yacon]], the [[Hodomoe Gym]] Leader will appear and chase them off.

Later, as the player journeys through the [[Electric Rock Cave]], the [[Dark Trinity]] appears and takes the player to N and the two will battle again. After being defeated they will leave. N is then briefly encountered outside the [[Fukiyose Gym]] where he tests the friendship between the player and their [[Starter Pokémon]]. After defeating [[Hachiku]] at the [[Sekka Gym]], Team Plasma appears at the [[Dragon Spiral Tower]] where N will awaken {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Wh}}. After a brief talk N flies off. [[Adeku]], who has also witnessed these events advises everyone to go to the [[Ancient Castle]] where they run into Geechisu who tells them it is pointless to continue resisting them and leaves. Geechisu will then confront the player on the [[Cylinder Bridge]] and tell them that even though they have the Light/Dark Stone Team Plasma will achieve its goal. Soon after the player will witness Geechisu giving another speech in [[Souryuu City]].

After defeating the [[Elite Four]] the player will head to the Champion's room where they will see N after he has defeated Adeku. N will then reveal his castle, which rises out of the ground and attaches to the {{un|Pokémon League}} building. The player then chases N into the castle where the Seven Sages try to stop them. The Unova [[Gym Leader]]s then appear to keep the sages busy while the player searches the castle. Two women who claim to be goddesses and the Dark Trinity will then lead the player to N. Before anything can happen, {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Wh}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}} will appear and the player will have to capture the dragon. The player and N will then have one final battle, with the player proving victorious. Geechisu arrives and is furious at N and says that he was just working behind the scenes on his true goal of ruling Unova as the only one with Pokémon. He will then challenge the player in rage.

After the player defeats Geechisu, Cheren and Adeku take him away while N tells the player he will continue on with his goal but will do it the right way. After the credits roll [[Looker]] will appear at the player's house and request their help in finding and capturing the other sages of Team Plasma. Each sage will tell some back history on Team Plasma before being arrested. The Dark Trinity will also appear at the [[Wonder Bridge]] where they will give the player the the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Adamant Orb|Adamant}}, {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb|Lustrous}}, and {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb|Griseous Orbs}}

Some Plasma Grunts will also appear during the [[Liberty Ticket]] event where they will take over [[Liberty Garden Island]] and try to capture {{p|Victini}}.

==In the anime==
Although Team Plasma has not appeared in the anime, [[Giovanni]] has mentioned a secret organization operating in the [[Unova]] region and wants to draw them out.



==Trivia==
* Like [[Team Rocket]] and [[Team Galactic]], Team Plasma's Japanese name is a pun: "plasma-dan" can also mean "plasma bullet."
* ''Plasma'' can be interpreted as the culmination of both [[Reshiram|fire]] and [[Zekrom|lightning]].
* Team Plasma's style seems to resemble that of the medieval knights.
** Their logo resembles a shield.
** The lettering in their logo resembles the {{wp|Chi Rho}} symbol.
** [[Geechisu]]'s clothing even resembles the top portion of a castle or tower.
* Team Plasma is the first main series villainous team to not have any admins challenge the player at various points throughout the game.

==animatated sprites?==
[[File:Spr BW Black 2.png|thumb]] [[File:Spr BW White 2.png|thumb]]
these are two sprites found in the game. on closer inspection, they look like part of the animation frame for the trainer sprite. are these two sprites being used in the game? if not, is it worth mentioning that the main characters sprite might be animated initially? -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 01:40, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
: No, these are for something else (Like the Pokeathelon sprites for Ethan and Lyra) [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 01:51, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
::Miracle Shooter. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 02:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Ok, thanks. my mistake. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 02:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

==Cheren's VS Sprite==
So earlier I noticed that there were a couple differences between Cheren's VS sprite in the trailer (The one that also showed Black's beta VS sprite) and the final version in the games. In the trailer, Cheren's eyes are looking straight forward where as the in the games, he's looking at the player's VS sprite. There are also two small streaks in his hair in the final version's sprite. This isn't present in the beta sprite. Also, in the final version, his mouth is slightly open.

Ranger Quest

2010-10-14T05:28:45Z

Fudgenuggets: /* Quests */ Points needed.

{{redirect|Quest|the island in the [[Sevii Islands]]|Quest Island}}
'''Ranger Quests''' are optional missions in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} and {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}. They can be fulfilled whenever the {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} is available. Players will talk to citizens, listen to their problems and then try and solve them.

{{spoilers}}

==Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia==
Players can only do one quest at a time and must cancel, or complete, the current quest before starting a new one. Most quests also have prerequisites that have to be fulfilled before they become available. The reward for completing a quest is either a [[Capture Styler|Styler Power-up]] or a new [[Partner Pokémon]].

Pokémon Trainer

[[Image:Pokemon trainers.jpg|thumb|Pokémon Trainers ''(clockwise, starting at upper-left)'': a [[Team Aqua]] grunt, {{ga|Blue}}, a [[Team Magma]] grunt, {{ga|May}} and {{ga|Brendan}}.]]
A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a person who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for and {{pkmn|battle}}s with Pokémon. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers.

==Background==
Many Trainers leave home at about the age of ten, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon professor]], such as {{prof|Oak}}. Many will travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow - when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a battle.
[[Image:SugimoriTrainers.png|thumb|left|Trainers from different classes: A [[Team Rocket grunts|Grunt]], a [[Lass]], and a [[Bug Catcher]]]]
Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[Trainer class|classes]]: [[Youngster]]s tend to stay close to home, and [[Bug Catcher]]s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; [[Hiker]]s traverse mountains and [[caves]], and [[Ace Trainer]]s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their Pokémon of choice, the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even among their classes, Trainers may vary greatly.

Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, he or she awards them a Pokémon League [[badge]]. However, the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a badge for other reasons, since the badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, [[Ash Ketchum]] won several of his early badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle.

Above the level of Gym Leaders are the [[Elite Four]] Trainers and {{pkmn|champion|Pokémon League champions}}. There are also a special class of Trainers known as the [[Frontier Brain]]s, but they are unique to {{game|Emerald}}, {{game|Platinum}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and part of a privately owned institution known as the [[Battle Frontier]], and so may not be recognized by the League. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and can only be challenged if a Trainer has met requirements such as winning eight badges. Should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for him or her to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[villainous team]]s. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

== Super Smash Bros. Brawl ==
{{main|Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Red}}
There is a {{player|playable character}} called "Pokémon Trainer" in the game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. His appearance is based on {{ga|Red}}'s [[Generation III]] design, and he uses {{p|Squirtle|me}}{{p|Ivysaur|mb}}{{p|Charizard|ers}} of the [[evolution]] families of the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s to battle against the others.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the Pokémon Trainer. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー ''Sā jussai, boku mo watashi mo torēnā.'' "Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."
* Even though it's stated in the anime that a person may not become a Trainer until the age of 10, there are many Trainers that are obviously below the minimum age, such as the [[Twins|Twins Trainer class]] and the [[Tuber|Tuber Trainer class]].
*In Generation I, enemy trainers with artificial intelligence will always use a super effective move on one of the player's Pokémon if possible. This remains true even for status moves, such as Mist.

'''Barry''' (Japanese: '''ジュン''' ''Jun'') is the [[rival]] character in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The character {{adv|Pearl}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga is based on Barry. A version of the character also appears in the {{OBP|Pokémon DP|Shigekatsu Ihara}} manga.

This particular rival also appears on the {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Rival|113}} card in the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} and {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} expansions of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

==In the games==
Barry, like the player, lives in [[Twinleaf Town]] and is also the player's childhood friend (and soon-to-be [[rival]]). Barry is always in a hurry and extremely impatient, and because of this, often crashes into other people (usually demanding a fine from them) or misses important details. It is revealed in the beginning of Platinum, he gets distracted very easily.

Barry is incredibly determined and it is very difficult to discourage him; the only thing that has done this so far was his crushing loss to the [[Team Galactic]] [[Commander]], [[Jupiter]] at [[Lake Acuity]], although this defeat lead to a major positive change in Barry's character, causing him to become slightly more serious, realistic, and mature. He is also quite the braggart, often boasting about his battling prowess or how cool his Pokémon are. Barry ''does'' have a soft side however, as seen after the wild Starly attack.

Barry is also one to take risks and quickly jump into action; it was this behavior that caused the player and himself to be attacked by [[wild]] {{p|Starly}}, setting off the chain reaction that would result in the player receiving his/her first Pokémon.

After becoming the [[Sinnoh]] [[Pokémon champion|League Champion]], the player can find him training at [[Stark Mountain]] during the week, and at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends in {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, ready to battle. He can be found at the [[Survival Area]] every day in {{v2|Platinum}} but he can only be battled on weekends. He desires to get into the [[Battleground]], even asking [[Crasher Wake]]'s help. Unlike the player and {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}, Barry did not receive a Pokédex, due to him rushing out of [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab before Rowan could give him one.

His father is {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, one of the Sinnoh {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}'s five [[Frontier Brain]]s. Barry wants to be like him, which is the reason he is so determined and trains hard.

In the Japanese versions, if the {{player}} doesn't give a name for the rival, he will be automatically named パール ''Pearl'' in Diamond. In Pearl, the name ダイヤ ''Dia'' is automatically given. In Platinum, either Dia or Pearl will be randomly selected. The same is the case for other versions of the games, choosing either "Diamond" or "Pearl" based on the game being played. The only reason the Japanese games use ダイヤ rather than the full ダイヤモンド for "Diamond" is because a Trainer's name is restricted to five characters in Japan, while elsewhere the restriction is seven.[[File:Barry.png|right|200px|thumb|Barry in the anime.]]

==In the anime==
There is a [[rival]]-character in the anime based on [[Barry (anime)|Barry]] (who debuts in ''[[Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'') and shares his name as well.

==In the TCG==
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Barry or his Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

==Trivia==
* Barry has achieved a high score of 2000 at [[Pal Park]], which serves as the default high score.
* Strangely, among the default names for him in the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]] is Shigeru, one of the names that are default in both [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]] for {{ga|Blue}}. "{{Gary}}" is also one of the optional names for him in the German and Italian-language versions of Pokémon Diamond. Gary's Korean Name, 바람 ''Baram'' can also be found among optional names for him in Korean-language version. Another point of similarity can perhaps be found in the fact that a relative of theirs is well-known in the Pokémon world, being [[Tower Tycoon Palmer|the]] [[Frontier Brain]] of Sinnoh's {{si|Battle Tower}} in Barry's case, and being [[Professor Oak|a]] [[Pokémon professor]] in the case of Blue. Furthermore, both rivals are childhood acquaintances of the [[player character|playable character]]s who go on to compete against them in collecting [[Gym]] badges, unlike {{ga|Silver}} and [[Wally]]. Finally, Barry uses the {{p|Starly}} line, while {{ga|Blue}} uses the {{p|Pidgey}} line; they both use {{p|Heracross}} at some point in their respective games.
* Although Barry can only be battled on weekends, if the player saves the game in front of him on a Sunday in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, he can still be battled on weekdays if the player does not leave the Fight Area (even to go to the [[Pokémon Center]]) during the periods of time in between. This was corrected in {{game|Platinum}}.
* All Japanese default names for Barry come from game staff members' first names. They are all listed in the game's credits. Jun is from '''[[Junichi Masuda]]''', production director and music composer. Shigeru is from '''Shigeru Ōmori''', game design leader. Kōji comes from '''Kōji Nishino''', a game designer. Toshinobu is from '''Toshinobu Matsumiya''', game scenario author. Hisashi is from '''Hisashi Sogabe''', battle system programmer. Sōsuke is from '''Sōsuke Tamada''', field system programmer. Akito is from '''Akito Mori''', communication system programmer and Nozomu is from '''Nozomu Saito''', also one of the programmers.
* Barry has an orange [[Pokétch]], but an old lady in [[Oreburgh City]] states that blue and pink are the only colors that are produced by [[The Pokétch Company]].
* Barry had the highest level trained Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, namely his [[Level]] 74 {{p|Torterra}}/{{p|Infernape}}/{{p|Empoleon}} after defeating the [[Elite Four]] 20 times. {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} (as well as the rest of {{ga|Red}}'s party, save {{p|Espeon}}), [[Steven Stone|Steven]]'s entire post-League {{v2|Emerald}} party, and {{ga|Blue}}'s [[starter Pokémon|starter]] still outclass him, however.
** In {{v2|Platinum}}, his team has significantly increased [[level]]s, with his [[starter Pokémon]] becoming the highest-leveled Trainer-owned Pokémon in the series (even beating {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}) at level 85. However, since the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's Pikachu regains the honor at level 88.
* Of the three main characters of [[Sinnoh]]'s games, Barry is the only one whose outfit remains much the same between {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and {{v2|Platinum}}, with his shirt's sleeves lengthened (though it could be argued, and is in fact the case with their [[Pokémon Adventures]] and {{pkmn|anime}} counterparts, that {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Lucas}} merely are wearing heavier coats over their Diamond and Pearl outfits).
* Unlike rivals for the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|III}} games, who have had only cameo appearances at best, Barry has a {{an|Barry|major anime counterpart}}, making him the first game rival since {{ga|Blue}} to do so.
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, if Barry does not get {{p|Chimchar}} as his {{pkmn2|starter}}, he will get a {{p|Ponyta}} as his [[fire-type]] Pokémon instead. On the fifth {{pkmn|battle}}, his {{p|Rapidash}} is at [[level]] 35 even though Ponyta cannot [[evolution|evolve]] until level 40.

== Route exploration requirements ==

As a continuation from the archived discussion, I'm going to incorporate the "Requirements to fully explore this area" as part of the route description on each article, instead of it having its own section. [[User:Taromon777|'''''Taromon''''']] 12:01, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
:brilliant idea. [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch]] 12:05, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
::No, please do not. Most administers agreed against the case. If you want to write up a "Geography" or "Route description" section including HM/TM requirement, please do. But do not create a section for it.--[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 14:04, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

== Image of nothing? ==

I've noticed there's an image called File:None.png. It's just a blank white image, and in the summary it says, "Image of nothing". What's the point in it? [[User:Taromon777|'''''Taromon''''']] 22:51, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
:If it were perfectly square, it could be used better as a spacer... buuuuut no. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
::They're for the itemlist template for items that don't have any images (the Gen II berries for example).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 00:28, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

== valentine's day ==

since it's valentine's day tomorrow, could we make the main page luvdisc themed? or something? i think it would be cool. [[User:Empath-Silvio|Empath-Silvio]] 23:54, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
:Bulbapedia anniversary celebrations are your Valentine's present. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:11, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

== Main Page ==

This image of Erika with this Bulbasaur looks really odd. How about a better picture. I'd offer to make a new one. {{unsigned|LucaLucario}}
: WOW! This is different! But I do agree about the pic. Everything else, excellent! - [[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes1992]] 12:33, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
::Yeah, I agree. It fits but it looks a bit off. Did admins vote on this or something? --[[User:Gen1king|'''GE''']][[User talk:Gen1king|'''N1''']][[Special:Contributions/Gen1king|'''KI''''''NG''']] 14:31, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

== The new theme ==

The new Bulbapedia theme is great, but there is a slight problem. The logo "Erika's Garden", and the links for Article, Discussion, Edit etc come up on top of the site content, making it virtually impossible to read the first few paragraphs of each article. Is this a minor glitch due to the theme being very new, or is it a problem with my computer/browser? I hope somebody can fix it soon, thanks!

I was testing out disambiguation pages due to a previous discussion (that I'm sure we are all very aware of).

:The disambiguation page is because there are multiple ''important'' Geodude in the series, notably [[Brock's Geodude]]. There are no important Ralts in the series (Max's Ralts was recently merged with Max's article).

== Letters to an Absent Father ==

Reading about the Letters to an Absent Father comics on Bulbanews, do you think the series deserves a Bulbapedia article? I know it's fan-made but there are other fan-made things which have articles, like websites and so on. Just thought I'd ask here first, rather than going ahead and starting the article. [[User:Taromon777|'''T a r o m o n''']] 21:03, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
:I'm not sure whether it merits it's own article or not, but if you think it does, feel free to start one in your user space to see how it will turn out. And from there we can see if it's right for the mainspace or not. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jel]][[User Talk:Jello|lo]] 21:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
::I don't think it does. I didn't even know about it until that news article came out. We do things that are very well known. I agree that the strip is a great read, but that's about as far as I'll go for it. And this is coming from somebody who goes around asking for people to recommend Pokémon web comics.

Silph Scope

[[Image:Silph_scope.png|thumb|right]]
The '''Silph Scope''' (Japanese: '''シルフスコープ''' ''Silph Scope'') is a [[key item]] appearing in [[Generation I]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]. It allows the player to identify {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon.

==Locations and uses of the Silph Scope==
===Generation I/Generation III===
As the name suggests, the Silph Scope was made by [[Silph Co.]], which [[Team Rocket]] later invades. The Silph Scope was initially stolen by Team Rocket, and is obtained from the [[Rocket Hideout (Celadon City)|Rocket Hideout]] after the player defeats [[Giovanni]]. It enables the player to identify the formally unidentifiable [[Literal ghost|Ghosts]] appearing within [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], and is required to pass the stairway that is guarded by a ghost of a {{p|Marowak}}.

In Generation I, the Silph Scope can be stored via the [[PC]]. If it is done so, the Pokémon within Pokémon Tower will appear as ghosts once again. The player must have the Silph Scope in their items list in order to identify the ghosts.

==Trivia==
* A sign next to the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town advertises the Silph Scope, proclaiming "Make the invisible plain to see!".

Johto Safari Zone

2010-04-24T21:05:42Z

Fudgenuggets: /* Savannah */

{{Infobox location
|image=Johto Safari Zone.png
|image_size=240
|type=land
|location_name=Safari Zone
|japanese_name=サファリゾーン
|translated_name=Safari Zone
|location=Northwest of [[Cianwood City]], on [[Route 48]]
|region=Johto
|generation={{Gen|IV}}
|map=MapSafari.gif
}}
The '''Safari Zone''' (Japanese: '''サファリゾーン''' ''Safari Zone'') is a special [[Pokémon]] preserve where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can capture certain types of Pokémon. The Johto Safari Zone made its debut appearance in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where it was shown to be located northwest of {{ci|Cianwood}}. It is owned by [[Baoba]], who built it because of his love of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], which was by then made into a [[Pal Park]].

For {{Pdollar}}500, the player will receive 30 Safari Balls. Akin to previous Safari Zones, there is a large area to cover, but the six areas of the Zone can uniquely be rearranged to suit the player.

When a [[wild Pokémon]] appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it; catching Pokémon here, as in all Safari Zones, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: throw a Safari Ball, throw bait, run away, and throw mud. Throwing bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch, while throwing mud does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run.

Access to the Safari Zone is not automatic. Before players can traverse Routes {{rtn|47}} and {{rtn|48}} to get to the area, they must heal [[Glitter Lighthouse]]'s sick {{p|Ampharos}}, [[Amphy]]. Only then will Baoba phone the player and announce that the Safari Zone is open for business.

==Areas==
[[File:Safari_Zone_Customization.png|thumb|200px|right|The six areas of the Safari Zone]]
Like the {{ho|Safari Zone}} in [[Hoenn]] and [[Great Marsh]] in [[Sinnoh]], the Johto Safari Zone has six areas, which are inhabited by different Pokémon. A feature unique to this Safari Zone, however, is the customization of these areas. Each of the six areas may be placed in any arrangement the player desires. This is a useful function, as it means the player does not have to traverse to the furthest area from the entrance to get the Pokémon living in it. This is taken even further due to the fact that there are 12 unique defaults from the moment the Safari Zone is unlocked.

Customization happens on the [[Nintendo DS]]'s touch screen. By dragging and sliding the tiles with the stylus, the player can move them with ease. The exits to each area are arranged so that every combination of areas is possible: up to 665,280. In each specific area, the player can choose from several different objects and put up to 30 into the area, which can potentially draw out rarer Pokémon, Pokémon not found in the area, or Pokémon not found in the zone any other way. The specific layout of the Safari Zone may be shared by multiple players at one time, like other events in [[Generation IV]], through [[mixing records]].

===Default area layouts===
There are ten possible layouts that the areas can be arranged in by default when the {{player}} first reaches the Safari Zone. More areas can be added once [[Baoba]]'s second challenge is assigned to the player.

==Challenges==
===First Challenge===
When the player first visits the Safari Zone, its owner, [[Baoba]], will give the player their first challenge of finding and catching a {{p|Geodude}} inside of the Safari Zone. No matter which of the 10 possible default Safari Zone area set-ups is in use, the Cliff Area where {{p|Geodude}} can be found is always the first area that the player enters.

===Second Challenge===
Three game-play hours after completion of the first challenge, [[Baoba]] will call the player and give them their second challenge. The point of this challenge is to get the player to use the Area Customize, a machine that allows the player to move around and order the different areas of the Safari Zone. Using the Area Customize to add the Desert Area, the player must catch a {{p|Sandshrew}}.

==Blocks==
After the player has both received the [[National Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]] and completed [[Baoba]]'s second challenge, Baoba will eventually call the player to tell him or her, that he has come up with a new idea for the Safari Zone. After receiving this call, the player will then be able to place any of 6 types of blocks inside of the Safari Zone, up to 30 blocks in one area at a time. Baoba will continue to call the player another three times after this giving the player 6 new blocks each time. There are 24 blocks in total, three of which are favored by Pokémon that live in grasslands, three which are favored by Pokémon that live in forests, three which are favored by Pokémon that live in rocky areas, three which are favored by Pokémon that live by the water and twelve others. Blocks that are favored by certain Pokémon can be used to draw out Pokémon that are not normally found in each area.

===Block Upgrades===
Each area of the Safari Zone keeps a hidden count of how many days it has been used. Every ten days of that count a block type will be upgraded in that area, and Baoba will call to notify the player of this. Once a block for a certain area is upgraded, the upgrade will not disappear if the player moves the area or takes away the blocks. When blocks are upgraded, they increase effectiveness. For example, a Plains block with no upgrades would count as one Plains block, but a Plains block with one upgrade would count as two Plains blocks.

==Trivia==
*Johto did not have a Safari Zone in [[Generation II]]. However, an [[Beta Safari Zone|unused]] Safari Zone map still exists in the coding of the Generation II games, accessible through the use of cheating devices. However, it was in fact simply intended to be the [[Kanto Safari Zone]] three years later.
*The addition of this Safari Zone means that every region in the main series games has had one.
*The number of Pokémon species that can be acquired in this Safari Zone is by far the largest quantity in the main series to date.
**This Safari Zone also features several Pokémon that were previously either only obtainable as eggs or never before available in the wild, most notably {{p|Shelgon}}, {{p|Metang}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Vigoroth}} and {{p|Riolu}}.
*This Safari Zone is the first to feature the ability to customize the arrangement of the six terrains.
*This is the only Safari Zone not to put a limit on the number of steps a player can take before being forced out.
*After the zones are rearranged, there is the impression that the zones move around automatically. This is not the case. Two employees outside the Safari Zone involuntarily confirmed that they are the ones who are moving the zones, based on how they complain of aches on their bodies because of moving something.

Fudgenuggets: /* Trivia */

[[Image:Wii Logo.png|thumb|right|The Nintendo Wii Logo]]
'''Wii''' is [[Nintendo]]'s seventh-generation console, which serves as the company's competition against Sony's [[wp:PlayStation 3|PlayStation 3]] and Microsoft's [[wp:Xbox 360|Xbox 360]]. It, like its predecessor, the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]], is able to connect to software titles on the handheld of this generation, the [[Nintendo DS]], and has a Pokémon game that will serve as a battle arena for the [[Generation IV]] Pokémon games - in this case, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

==Features==
===Wii Remote===
Wii's controller is a strange and revolutionary one, instead of taking the dual-control-stick layout of the previous generation like its competitors, it is in a remote control form, with attachments available to work with compatible games, such as a control stick on a nunchuck attachment, or the classic controller, which takes on a layout similar to the other consoles' main controller. The Wii Remote is wireless, and features many innovations such as motion and tilt sensing, a first for game controllers.

===Wii Menu===
[[Image:Disc channel.jpg|thumb|right|The Wii Disc Channel]]

The console features a custom GUI made up of different-- and expandable-- channels, all of which, save the Disc Channel, can be moved around to any of the 47 spaces available on the main menu. New channels can be downloaded via the Wii Shop Channel, including a browser and games from older systems playable via Virtual Console.

Wii also has the ability to send messages to and from other devices, so long as the Wii sends out the first message, an address book confirmation message, to the email address or cell phone number in question. When the recipient replies to the Wii's message, communication between the two devices will be active, and via WiiConnect24, others can leave messages for players of the console on its message board from anywhere in the world.

===Backward compatibility===
Wii is also backwards-compatible with all GameCube games, as well as with most of GameCube's accessories, such as the controllers, memory cards, GameCube to GBA cables, and microphone.

==Technical specs==
[[Image:Wii.jpg|thumb|right|Wii and its controller, the Wii Remote]]
* Compatibility with both 12cm Wii Game Discs and 8cm GameCube Game Discs
* 729 MHz "Broadway" IBM CPU
* 243 MHz "Hollywood" ATI GPU
* 88 MB total memory
* 512 MB internal flash memory, for game, channel, and data saving
* SD memory card bay for expansion of save space (2 GB maximum SD card size)
* Two USB ports for expansion and/or networking capabilities
 
==Pokémon games==
===On game discs===
Most Wii games are released on the Wii's own 12cm discs. So far, there are three known games that feature Pokémon, and two of them have been released.
* [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]
* [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Great Adventure]] (unreleased in America)

Because the Wii features backwards compatibility with the majority of [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] hardware, all Pokémon games on the GameCube are also playable on the Wii.

===WiiWare games===
[[File:WiiWare.png|thumb|WiiWare]]
WiiWare games are special games downloadable via the Wii Shop Channel. Two Pokémon games have been released worldwide, and a third has been released only in Japan.
* [[My Pokémon Ranch]]
* [[Pokémon Rumble]]
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)]] (Unreleased outside Japan)

===Virtual Console games===
Virtual Console games are old games that were originally released on past consoles, and have now been re-released on the Wii Shop Channel. Like WiiWare games, they can be downloaded after being bought. There are two Pokémon games that have received this treatment so far, plus the original [[Super Smash Bros.]] game. It is unlikely that more games will be released this way, as the only remaining console Pokémon games are [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which requires a microphone, and the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], which feature connectivity with the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games, which the Wii cannot achieve.

*[[Pokémon Snap]]
*[[Pokémon Puzzle League]]
*[[Super Smash Bros.]]

==Trivia==
[[Image:DPTV.png|thumb|right|Wii seen in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
* The remote control for the evolution machine featured in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]'' was similar in design to the controller of the Wii.
** The remote Meowth used in ''[[DP031|The Grass-type is Always Greener!]]'' resembled the Nunchuk.
* The AV cable for the Wii is only the third design Nintendo has used. The {{wp|NES}} used RCA cables, while the {{wp|SNES}}, [[Nintendo 64|N64]], and [[Nintendo GameCube|GCN]] all used the same one.
* The player character and the player's rival each have a Wii in their bedrooms in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, while the player and his or her alternate-gender counterpart each have a Wii in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Along with that, there is a Wii next to a TV in the [[S.S. Aqua]].
** The player character's bedroom in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} has a Wii next to the TV set in [[Chicole Village]].

'''Blaine''' (Japanese: '''カツラ''' ''Katsura'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cinnabar Island]]'s (later the [[Seafoam Islands]]') {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Volcano}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He is a highly intelligent man who uses {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==

[[File:FireRed LeafGreen Blaine.png|thumb|150px|Artwork of Blaine from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
Blaine's title is "The Hotheaded Quiz Master." His strategy is to incinerate challengers with his rough and ready Fire-type Pokémon.

Blaine was once lost in a treacherous, freezing mountain range. He was guided out of the mountains by a {{p|Moltres}}. Apparently, this is what inspired him to train Fire-type Pokémon.

Blaine is a native of [[Cinnabar Island]], and has lived there since before the [[Pokémon Lab]] was built.

Blaine is apparently on good terms with [[Mr. Fuji]].

To reach Blaine, challengers have to answer a series of quiz questions about Pokémon. Blaine only takes off his sunglasses when thinking up new quiz questions.

In addition to the Volcano Badge, Blaine gives out {{TM|38|Fire Blast}} in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} he gives out {{TM|50|Overheat}}.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], the volcano on Cinnabar Island erupted, destroying the town, and leaving Blaine and his Pokémon homeless. Blaine relocated his Gym to the [[Seafoam Islands]], and remains there a whole year after the volcanic eruption back on Cinnabar. He plans to rebuild his gym one day.

He is able to be rebattled in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after collecting his number at any time on Tuesday. He is found on [[Cinnabar Island]]. A call to him on Tuesday afternoon will arrange a rematch.

==In the anime==
[[Image:BlaineAnime.jpg|thumb|220px|left|Blaine in the anime]]
Blaine appeared in the episodes ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' and ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''.

Blaine ran the Cinnabar Island Gym until the island started to become crowded with tourists. Instead of serious challengers, the Cinnabar Island {{pkmn|Center}} started to fill up with freeloading vacationers.

Fed up with this, Blaine closed the Gym and opened up a hotel near the island's volcanic hot springs, disguising himself with a wig and sunglasses. He also disguised his voice to be softer and lower pitched than normal. Blaine likes to make up riddles even in inappropriate situations.

When {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} met Blaine, he told them several riddles. Misty deciphered the riddles and eventually the trio found Blaine's hotel, and underneath the hotel in a volcanic cavern was the Cinnabar Island Gym. Ash challenged Blaine to a Gym match, and Blaine handily defeated Ash.

Later, [[Team Rocket]] attempted to steal Blaine's {{p|Magmar}} by freezing it with guns that projected beams of ice. Magmar broke free in the end. However, the sudden cooling of the walls in the lava cave caused the rock to begin to crack hinting that the Cinnabar Island volcano was going to erupt.

Ash, Blaine, Misty, and Brock all used their {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon to dam the cracks in the walls using boulders. [[Ash's Squirtle]] and [[Misty's Staryu]] mostly cooled the Pokémon off while they were damming up the cracks. During the emergency, Ash's {{AP|Charizard}} and Blaine's {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} gained an interest in the other's strength, and wished to test it in battle.

With the arena inside the volcano wrecked by Team Rocket, Ash and Blaine had a battle on the top crater of the volcano. At first, Magmar and Charizard were evenly matched, but Charizard's ability to fly gave it an advantage in the end. It lifted Magmar high into the air and used {{m|Seismic Toss}}, slamming Magmar into the volcano. The Spitfire Pokémon was knocked out, and Ash won the Volcano Badge.

With Charizard leaving the battle, Rhydon went up against {{AP|Pikachu}}, a Pokémon who Blaine thought would not be able to take out Rhydon. Its horn was used as a conductor of electricity that eventually caused its defeat.

Rhydon's known moves are {{m|Horn Drill}} and {{m|Fury Attack}}.}}

|desc={{p|Magmar}} is Blaine's final Pokémon and his powerhouse. In the first battle, Magmar easily defeated Ash's {{p|Pikachu}}. After the battlefield was wrecked due to Team Rocket's influence, Magmar and Ash's Charizard ended up gaining a respect for each other and wanted to test their strengths against one another. This was done in Ash's rematch with Blaine on top of Cinnabar's volcano. However, despite Magmar's powerful attacks including {{m|Fire Blast}}, Charizard managed to come out on top.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[Image:Blaine.PNG|right|frame|Blaine.]]
Blaine was a former member of [[Team Rocket]], joining because of his interest in science, conducting experiments on some of {{adv|Red}}'s future Pokémon, namely {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Eevee}}. He was first seen (albeit without a speaking role), studying and generating {{Adv|Mewtwo}} under the [[Rocket Game Corner]]. But after hearing of Red's clashes with Team Rocket, like protecting {{p|Mew}} from Team Rocket, Blaine left, attempting to make up for his evil deeds. When Red reached Cinnabar Island, Blaine was under attack by members of Team Rocket and their newly captured {{p|Moltres}}, on loan from [[Sabrina]].

Blaine had his Rapidash carry Red to his Pokémon Lab, who in return let Blaine use his Gyarados to hold off Moltres, where Red was able to revive an {{p|Aerodactyl}} from a [[fossil]]. Aerodactyl helped rescue Blaine and defeat Moltres.

Later, Blaine asked Red to help him in [[Cerulean Cave]]. While he was working under Team Rocket, Blaine combined some of Mew's DNA with his own to create a hybrid Pokémon named {{Adv|Mewtwo}}. Some of Blaine's hand was infected with Mewtwo's DNA, and thus he was able to track the synthetic Pokémon. Because of this, Team Rocket attempted to abduct Blaine to review Mewtwo's whereabouts. Using the {{DL|Poké Ball|Generation I Poké Balls|Master Ball}}, Red was able to capture Mewtwo for Blaine after Blaine tried and was seriously injured in the process. This is when Blaine revealed why he quit Team Rocket. He saw Red's compassion for Pokémon in the Rocket Game Corner and it made Blaine realize that he created two monsters, Mewtwo and himself. He then decided that he didn't care what Team Rocket would do to him but that he neede to catch Mewtwo and help it. It was then suggested by Red that he needs to show Mewtwo compassion because all that Mewtwo knows about humans is cruelty and arrogance.

The psychic bond between Mewtwo and Blaine limited them both. If they were apart for too long, both would begin to become ill. Blaine worked for several years trying to find a way to sever the bond without hurting either of them. He then appeared during the Yellow Chapter as one of the "Good" Gym Leaders of Kanto. After [[Super Nerd]] William is defeated he uses Growlithe to sniff him down and deduces that Red must've been at [[Mt. Moon]]. When William was being lifted away by [[Agatha]] and her {{p|Gastly}} Blaine tried to use Growlithe's Fire Blast to knock it out, only for it to almost kill a Caterpie had Yellow not saved it.

He was then seen back on Cinnabar Island training with a Junior Trainer using Mewtwo to practice their connection using a disguise. Yellow then finds out that was Blaine and was simply wearing a disguise because he didn't know who was watching. He then hears a message from [[Brock]] reporting that he found an ice sculpture of {{adv|Red}} in [[Mt. Moon]]. He then travels to Cerise Island with Yellow (albeit by different routes) with Mewtwo, revealing that that was why they were training for. He then runs into Blue and sees several Pokémon, believing them to belong to the Elite Four, but actually belonging to [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]].

During the [[Cerise Island]] incident, [[Sabrina]]'s [[Spoons of Destiny]] paired Blaine and {{adv|Yellow}} together in the fight against the [[Elite Four]]. They intruded on Lt. Surge and Bill's battle with Bruno. They were blocked out by a strange barrier, however, and were kept out since Bruno did not wish for anyone to interfere with their battle. Together, they confronted [[Lance]]. However, the bond between Mewtwo and Blaine proved to be their undoing, and they were defeated, leaving Yellow to face Lance alone.

Later, during the [[Masked Man]]'s plot in [[Johto]], {{p|Entei}} chose Blaine to be its partner. The healing power of Entei's flames was finally able to cut the link between Mewtwo and Blaine, and the two were free to live their lives apart from each other.

Although he's serious for most situations, he also had his comical moments; Blaine had his mustache burnt when he was training and had to use fake ones. Sometimes he may also use riddles to lighten up dark atmosphere.

==Trivia==
* Although {{p|Magmar}} appears as Blaine's signature Pokémon in the anime, he only has one in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, with it not even appearing in his Gym team in Yellow (which went as far as giving Lt. Surge ''only'' Raichu to mimic the anime).
** This may be due to the fact that ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' aired only a month prior to the release of {{game|Yellow}}, by which point Yellow was likely in the final stages of production.
*In every main series game, Blaine has used a Rapidash.

===Design differences===
[[Image:Blaine's Disguise.jpg|thumb|220px|right|Blaine's anime disguise]]
Blaine has two separate character designs. The first one is from early Sugimori artwork for [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]]. He is depicted as a slightly balding man with light red hair with no mustache and no sunglasses wearing beach clothes. The old design was reused in the {{pkmn|anime}} (as Blaine's real look) and in [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga (as a disguise).

Later, in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] and outside-Japan [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] the artwork was revised and he started to be depicted as an older, completely bald man with a mustache, wearing sunglasses and labcoat. Despite the artwork changes, his new design was used in ''all'' Generation I main series games, including the [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]]. This means that Blaine's design was probably changed very late in the production of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], since his official artwork and his in-game sprite are completely different portrayals.

The reasons for changing the design is unknown; however, the [[Fame Checker]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} explains why he doesn't always wear sunglasses: "Blaine is said to remove his dark shades only when he is thinking up new quiz questions."

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Blaine is shown wearing a hat. He wears more sophisticated clothing than his previous lab coat. He also sports a cane that resembles a question mark.

Bug-Catching Contest

2010-04-21T01:11:28Z

Fudgenuggets: /* Always (Post-National Pokédex) */

[[File:Bug Catching Contest HGSS.png|frame|Bug-Catching Contest judging in Generation IV]]
The '''Bug-Catching Contest''' is a competition held every [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday]] in [[Johto]]'s [[National Park]]. The Bug-Catching Contest is introduced in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and makes a return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==In the games==
===Ruling===
There is no entry fee for the Bug-Catching Contest. Anyone may enter once per day, every [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday]].

To compete, Trainers must {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the single best {{type2|Bug}} [[Pokémon]] they can find. To do this, Trainers are given twenty {{DL|Poké Ball|Generation II Poké Balls|Sport Ball}}s, which are similar to Safari Balls, and allowed use of a single Pokémon of their party. The rest of a Trainer's Pokémon and any items they may have remain with the contest officials until the competition is over.

Any Pokémon caught will be recorded in the [[Pokédex]], but only one Pokémon can be kept to judge. The Pokémon that is judged may be kept after the competition.

The competition ends when all the Sport Balls are used, the trainer [[black out|whites out]], the trainer leaves the way they came, or 20 minutes have passed. After that, the judging will occur, where Trainers are scored on their skills of capturing rare and exclusive Pokémon.

===Scoring===
The two primary factors that determine the score in the contest are the sum of the Pokémon's [[stats]], which can be estimated by its [[rarity]] and its [[level]], and the amount of damage it sustained in the capture attempt. The higher the Pokémon's remaining hit points at time of capture, the higher the score. Other factors, even {{shiny2|shininess}}, do not significantly affect the outcome.

===Competitors===
These are the competitors found in every contest:
*[[Ace Trainer|CoolTrainer]] Nick
*[[PokéFan]] William
*[[Youngster]] Samuel
*[[Camper]] Barry
*[[Bug Catcher]] Ed
*[[Bug Catcher]] Benny

'''Weepinbell''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウツドン''' ''Utsudon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bellsprout}} starting at [[level]] 21, and evolves into {{p|Victreebel}} via {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Weepinbell has a yellow, bell-shaped body and a wide, gaping mouth with pink lips and what seems to be a tongue. Above Weepinbell’s circular eyes is a pattern of three small green spots. Weepinbell has green, razor sharp, leafy appendages, which droop like the leaves of a weeping plant. Weepinbell also has a brown hook on a segment at the rear of its head which may be a remnant of the roots of its previous form.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Weepinbell has an extremely potent internal {{m|acid}} which has the ability to dissolve almost anything within seconds. Weepinbell also oozes a neutralizing fluid which prevents its internal acids from melting it.

===Behavior===
Weepinbell camouflage themselves as plants in the forest whilst awaiting an unwary victim. When its prey draws near the Weepinbell sprays toxic pollen to immobilize the target before melting it with its internal acids. Weepinbell hangs from tree branches by its brown hook as it sleeps. If it moves around during sleep, Weepinbell may slip and awaken to find itself on the ground.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Weepinbell live in forests, as well as tropical jungles and swamps where the ground is rich in nutrients. They can also occasionally be found in caves, near sources of underground water. It is most commonly found in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but can also be found in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Weepinbell is less of a picky eater than its previous form, as it will attempt to eat anything that passes near it. If a foe is too large to fit in Weepinbell's mouth it will use its {{m|Razor Leaf|razor sharp leaves}} to slice its meal into smaller pieces.

==Trivia==
*Bellsprout shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Bellossom}}. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.

===Origin===
Bellsprout and its evolutions may be based upon carnivorous {{wp|pitcher plant}}s.

====Name origin====
Bellsprout's name seems to be be a combination of ''bell'', referring to its bell-like head, and ''sprout'', referring to it being relatively young in its evolutionary line. ''Madatsubomi'' can be taken to mean まだ蕾, still (a) flower bud.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Knofensa
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Chetiflor - From ''chétif'' (puny) and ''{{wp|flora}}.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 모다피 ''Modapi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 喇叭芽 - Literally "bell (or trumpet) sprout".

==Any References?==
With the impending release of [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]] in America, can someone keep an eye out for any in-game references to Gen. V? Much appreciated. [[User:The Jigglypuff Ninja|The Jigglypuff Ninja]] 01:04, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

==Jumping the Gun a bit?==
Are you guys sure we aren't looking into this a bit too far? All we have for clues are that they announced a new game and a new *something*. Not to mention it says it's gonna be new on the DS. What's to be sure of all of that? For all we know, the new game could be MindCrystal, the silhouette could be a new Forme like the last 5 that were announced. The new game could be a wii sequel to Pokemon XD:Gale of Darkness. If we can't even have Pokemon evolved editing pages when they're in the titles of episodes, why can we just up and announce a new generation? I mean, Pokebeach even said the silhouette isn't Z, what makes anyone certain it's Generation V?[[User:SLE_aman|SLE_]][[User:SLE_aman/talk|aman]] 11:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:What does Pokebeach have to do with anything? We know this is Gen V because Masuda SAID it is a new Pokémon. Nothing in this article says that this Pokémon is Z. Because we don't know that. All we know is that it is a new Pokémon. To think otherwise... well, you're in denial big time. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 12:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
::The original announcement talked about the popularity of Diamond and Pearl before saying this game will be set in a new region with new Pokémon. What more evidence do you need? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 12:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:::Well, technically, the RPG announcement never explicitly said it would be main series. Even though Generation V Pokémon were hinted, it was never explicitly said that it was the full-fledged generation. It also never explicitly said it would be a pair, either. There are RPGs other than the main series, and they could use a side-series RPG to give Generation V-based cameos to increase anticipation for the full-fledged generation to come at a later date (much like Mystery Dungeon 1 did). Recent announcements pretty much excludes the possibility of it being a Ranger 4, but it's still possible that it could be a Mystery Dungeon 5 or something completely different than anything we've seen before. My [[$1|2¢]]: Odds are the TBA 2010 thing is not for the full-fledged Generation V. Especially if the RPG announcement turns out to be for a single. They've faked us out before, and even if the silhouette does turn out legitimate, it's probably still too early to be thinking full-fledged Generation V. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

::::Actually, I've seen a subb'ed version. Masuda specifically said "We're working on a new generation of pokémon" --[[User:Camzoman]]
::::Yeah. And nowhere in that did it explicitly say that was the TBA 2010 project. They can be working on a new generation of Pokémon, yet still announce and release side games relating mainly to the previous generation. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 19:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::Camzoman, where exactly did you see this subbed version? I did not hear Masuda mention a "new generation" anywhere in the video - what he said was "we're developing a brand-new work for Pokemon." However, I don't think there's any denying at this point that it is indeed the new generation. The [http://www.corocoro.tv/pokerelease/index.html Corocoro site] doesn't seem to be implying that this is a side game (not that Game Freak makes side games to begin with). It's a new version(s), with a new setting, new Pokemon, new features... sounds like a new generation to me. :/ [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 19:54, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

== Generation V Pokémon Infobox, anyone? ==

I know you'll probably all find this pointless, but I decided to throw together a [[Template:PokémonInfoboxGenV|temporary infobox]] to use for the Generation V Pokémon articles. It's basically a stripped-down version of the regular infobox that leaves out all the fields for any technical stuff (Egg groups, EXP yield, Gender ratios, etc.) that's unlikely to be revealed until ''Pokémon V'' comes out later this year. I also created a [[User:Quagbert/Z (Pokémon)|user-subpage for the silhouetted mystery Pokémon]] that uses a [[Template:PokémonInfoboxGenVNoncat|non-categorizing version]] of this template.

Alright, these two Pokémon have been offically confirmed by the leaked CoroCoro scans, but apparently it's still considered too early to put up the Bulbapedia articles for them. Is there some additional form of conformation that we're waiting for?

Anyway, I already have {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} in my userspace ready to be moved to the main space when we're finally allowed to do so. [[User:Quagbert|Quagbert]] 17:07, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

== New Pokémon template ==

Based partly on the {{template|DP episode}} template, I've decided to make a [[Template:NewPokémon|new Pokémon template]] to use the next time a new Pokémon is revealed. The code would go like this:

== Take away part in introduction ==

It says that it is unknown whether the new games will be contemporaneous with any of the other games. I beg to differ. Pokemon Sunday officially stated that Zoroark lives in a "New Area". Or is it just saying that it is unknown whether it will be possible to travel to another region? Spenfen
:Contemporaneous means at the same time. Like how RBY and RSE are at the same time, and so is GSC and DPPt. It has nothing to do with location.--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] 18:08, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

It's very likely that these new games will be on the 3DS, so can someone remove the statement saying that the games ''will'' be released on the regular DS?--'''[[User:Immewnity|''immewnity'']][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 00:22, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

[[Image:Ill-hoenn.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Hoenn in Ruby and Sapphire]]
[[Image:Hoenn_Anime.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Anime-based map of the Hoenn region]]
The '''Hoenn''' region (Japanese: '''ホウエン地方''' ''Hōen-chihō'') is a large [[region]] to the southwest of [[Johto]], and resembles the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}. It is the setting of the [[Generation III]] games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The names of most of the cities in Hoenn are made of two words put together (Little Root, Fort Tree, Slate Port, Ever Grande, etc.). [[Professor Birch]] of [[Littleroot Town]] offers the Pokémon known as {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} or {{p|Mudkip}} to trainers beginning their journey of this vast land.

Junichi Masuda has stated that Hoenn's name comes from 豊縁, ''hōen'', meaning "abundant relations", as a common theme in this region is the relationships forged between Pokémon and people. He also stated that the reasoning behind rotating Hoenn 90° counterclockwise compared to its real-world counterpart was to increase playability.

==Geography==
The Hoenn region boasts many dramatic environments from rainforests to deserts. However, its most striking feature is its abundance of water. There are several large islands off the mainland only accessible via [[water route]]s, many of which are suitable for {{m|Dive|diving}} because they are so deep. It seems to have a warmer climate than [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]].

Much of the interior area is forested or mountainous, so most notable cities are found on the coastline. People who live in towns and villages in the mountain areas must adapt to the harsh environment. An extreme example of this is the inhabitants of [[Fortree City]], who live in tree houses. This is in stark contrast to other regions in the [[Pokémon world]], as noted by {{adv|Ruby}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], who preferred Johto's many modernized cities to the wilderness and countryside in Hoenn.

Due to the primarily tropical climate, many of Hoenn's newly discovered Pokémon are rather exotic in appearance, compared to Pokémon from [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]].

===Routes===
Routes in Hoenn number are numbered as {{rtn|101}}-{{rtn|134}}, breaking the former pattern set up by Kanto and Johto. This is presumably to discourage the idea of being able to travel back to either region after completion of the game, as was done in [[Generation II]]. Some of the routes have differing [[weather conditions]] depending on the day they are traveled on.

==Trivia==
*Hoenn has the most towns out of all the main series games, with 16.
* Unlike other regions, several of the smaller islands off of Hoenn's southeastern coast are unreachable by any means.
* Not counting the player's hometown, Hoenn has the most cities that do not have Gyms - [[Oldale City]], [[Slateport City]], [[Lilycove City]], [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]], [[Pacifidlog Town]], and [[Ever Grande City]].
** Coincidentally, both of these cities are famous for being harbors.
* Hoenn is the only region that is not accessible in [[Generation IV]]. It is unknown if it ever will be.
** As a result, it is the only region that has not been rendered in 3D.
* Hoenn is the only region in which time doesn't affect the game's graphics.
* Hoenn is the only region in the handheld games to have more than one [[villainous team]], with both [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]] calling the region home. Only [[Orre]] matches this, with [[Team Snagem]] and [[Cipher]], though Orre has not appeared outside of [[GameCube]] games.

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[trade]]d. It is {{p|Gastly}}'s final form.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gengar is a dark-purple Pokémon with a roundish body. Gengar's hands now connect to the rest of its body and it now has a pair of legs. Gengar has a spike-covered back. Upon evolution, Gengar's eyes are now red. Also, its mouth is usually curled into a sinister grin.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
[[File:Morty's Gengar.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Morty]]'s Gengar floating through the air]]
Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}; its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F. In addition, Gengar possesses the ability to fly through the air, as demonstrated by [[Morty]]'s Gengar. Since Gengar is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gengars are very mischievous, and at some times, malicious. They enjoy playing practical jokes, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. Gengar may also cast {{m|curse}}s.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Gengar live in shadows of rooms, caves, and dark places where shadows form, especially in urban areas such as cities and back alleys but only during the night. Gengar are also known to live in mountains. It normally shares its range with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, but reports of wild Gengar aren't unheard of.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Gengar drains the life force from its victims. It may also also {{m|Dream Eater|eat its victim's dreams}}. Like its pre-evolution, Haunter it may lick its prey to drain the life force.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Fantina's Gengar.png|210px|right|Gengar in the anime|thumb]]
===Major appearances===
Gengar first appeared in the opening of the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it and a {{p|Nidorino}} battled in a Colosseum on TV.

{{Ash}} first saw a Gengar in person in [[Lavender Town]] in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' while searching for a {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]] with. Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar. It, along with Haunter, seemed to have a fondness for {{wp|Tsukkomi|Japanese stand-up}}, and attempt to (unsuccessfully) amuse Ash by acting as a pair of performers.

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a giant Gengar was awakened near the Ancient City of Pokémopolis where it battled an equally large {{p|Alakazam}}.

{{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] used a Gengar in his battle with Ash in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. His Gengar managed to confuse [[Ash's Tauros]] before he returned it and instead tried with [[Ash's Lapras]]. In the collision between {{m|Night Shade}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, both Lapras and Gengar fainted.

A Gengar appeared under the ownership of [[Ecruteak City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Morty]] in ''[[EP181|A Ghost Of A Chance]]'', ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', and ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.

[[Agatha]] used a Gengar to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. The Ghost Pokémon defeated Pikachu.

Gengar was the leader of "[[Team Meanies]]" in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''

A Gengar appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'' together with its pre-evolutions, {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Gengar also appeared in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Gengar under the ownership of [[Hearthome City]]'s Gym Leader [[Fantina]] appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP093|Playing the Leveling Field!]]'' and appeared in ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' where it was defeated by [[Ash's Buizel]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Agatha]] has two Gengar on her team. One of them was used to attack {{adv|Blue}} and [[Koga]] from the shadows, draining the latter's life force as it possessed his shadow.

Another Gengar was seen at the beginning of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga in {{PAV|23}}. It was used by a kid from [[Pallet Town]] in an attempt to capture a {{p|Nidorino}}, thus replicating the opening sequence of the [[Generation I]] video games.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming him or her for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human.

==Trivia==
* "Phantom" was the original English name for Gengar.
* Gengar, along with {{p|Nidorino}}, who it battles in the beginning of {{v2|Red}}, {{v2|Blue}}, {{v2|Green}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, and probably a couple of other Pokémon, originate from the old manga, [[Capsule Monsters]], which is considered pre-cursor to the Pokémon franchise.
* Gengar can be caught in the wild in Generation IV through the [[dongle method]], as can another Pokémon previously obtainable only via trading, {{p|Steelix}}, though Steelix can be battled normally.
* Even though Gengar is part {{type2|Poison}}, like its pre-[[evolution]]s, it cannot learn any Poison-type moves via level up.
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Froslass}} for the fastest {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, with a base {{stat|Speed}} of 110, and has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of any Ghost-type or {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon at 130.
**Oddly, Special Attack was its highest stat, even though the Ghost-type was previously an all-physical type.
* Despite its ability to hide in shadows, Gengar is unable to learn {{m|Shadow Sneak}}.
* Originally, its shiny color in the games was actually closer to that of the Sugimori artwork than the non-shiny color. This was corrected in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Gengar received a new back sprite in Platinum.
* Gengar is smaller than its pre-evolution, {{p|Haunter}}. The same thing happens to {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, and {{p|Porygon2}}

===Origin===
It seems to be simply based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being like {{wp|shadow people}}. The overall appearance could also be an homage to the {{wp|Alice in Wonderland|Cheshire Cat}}. Gengar also has some similarities to {{wp|Gremlins}} with both looks and personality (violent, rude, and wild).
====Name origin====
Gengar's name is possibly a shortening of ''{{wp|doppelgänger}}'' - a ghostly double of a person, which would be a fitting name for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻, which can be read "gen", can be used for words meaning "phantom" or "illusion".

There is also a striking pronouncation similarity between Gengar's name and the Danish word "genganger", which simply is a spirit that after its death chose not to go to the other world but to return to the world of humans in the shape of a ghost. "Gen" is translated as "again" or simply "re" and "ganger" is an old-fashioned word meaning "walker" or "someone that walks".

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Gengar
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ectoplasma - From ''[[wp:Ectoplasm|ectoplasm]]'', the substance that supposedly emanates from the body of a spiritualistic medium when contacting the dead.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 팬텀 ''Paenteom'' - A transliteration of the English word ''phantom''.

Legendary Pokémon

[[Image:Entei_book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a legendary Pokémon]]
'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of incredibly rare, and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

While in English, all are typically grouped under the banner of "legendary", there are three distinct terms in Japanese that are used to refer to them. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' ''densetsu no Pokémon'', literally "Pokémon of legend", refers to Pokémon such as {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, who are featured prominently in the legends of the Pokémon world. A second, '''幻のポケモン''' ''maboroshi no Pokémon'', literally "Pokémon of illusions", refers to Pokémon seen so rarely, such as {{p|Mew}}, that some question their very existence. This term was translated in the [[Generation IV]] games as "mirage Pokémon", in reference to the various [[Sinnoh myths|myths of Sinnoh]], and many consider it to refer to Pokémon that are restricted to [[Nintendo event]]s, not available during the course of normal gameplay. The third and newest term is '''神話のポケモン''' ''shinwa no Pokémon'', literally "Pokémon of myth", which refers to the Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==
Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are four notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Cresselia}}), and all but {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}}.

No legendary Pokémon is known to [[evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[legendary trio]] or [[legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in a much higher regard than in the games, with their powers seen as being almost {{wp|deity|godlike}}. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, both due to their rarity as well as their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Some speculate, however, that if a Trainer were to "play by the rules", encountering and befriending the legendary Pokémon just the same as they would any other Pokémon, the results would not be as chaotic, if at all. This theory possibly has some weight, as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}, while [[Lawrence III]]'s capture of {{mov|Zapdos|Zapdos|2}} and {{mov|Moltres|Moltres|2}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was one of intended dominance and collection instead. It should be noted, however, that Noland was never seen to have had Articuno in a Poké Ball, and at the same time, he is a rather skilled Trainer.

Many legendary Pokémon are shown to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, while none are immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and the injury of {{an|Arceus}}. Very few, in fact, are often considered unique, with only {{an|Mewtwo}} known to be (due to the [[The Birth of Mewtwo|circumstances of its creation]]) and {{an|Arceus}}, {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{an|Giratina}} assumed to be, due to their role in the creation of the universe.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
Of the 493 Pokémon species, 35 are considered to be legendary, while several more have certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one legendary trio and one legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

The three [[legendary birds]], also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based off of a mythical bird, and each is associated with a {{wp|season}} (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the anime, the legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[Image:Mewtwo_and_Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} fight in [[M01|the first movie]]]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first [[event]]-exclusive Pokémon, being otherwise available only by [[Mew glitch|glitching the game]] or [[cheating]]. One is available in the wild on [[Faraway Island]], an event area in {{game|Emerald}}, the only time it is legitimately able to be caught from the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been cloned from Mew in the journals in the Pokémon Mansion. Unlike most Pokémon, however, Mew gave live birth to Mewtwo, rather than laying an {{pkmn|egg}} and Mewtwo hatching from it. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss [[Giovanni]] funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

===Generation II===
More legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Eusine]] discover the legendary beasts in the basement of the burned-out [[Brass Tower]].]]
Like the legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These [[legendary beasts]], so named because their features are reminiscent of both {{wp|canine}} and {{wp|feline}} animals, were trapped in the [[Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the legendary beasts have never appeared together. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the legendary beasts in a central role, with {{mov|Entei|Entei|3}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{mov|Suicune|Suicune|4}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based off of {{ga|Gold}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.

====Tower duo====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Brass Tower]], home of Lugia, was struck by lightning, it burned to the ground, and both flew away, Lugia to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based off of the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where [[XD001|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive legendary.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto, and through this, the anime revealed that legendary Pokémon could breed (this is untrue in the games, at least in captivity, likely to restrict players from getting a limitless number of them).

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the savior of the legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop [[Tin Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow at the start of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s journey at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, one accidentally brings a young [[Professor Oak]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s Dark Balls to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so.

===[[Generation III]]===
The Generation III games feature a total of 10 new legendaries.
====[[Legendary golems]]====
[[Image:Regis.png|thumb|left|(From left to right) Regice, Registeel, and Regirock]]
The legendary {{wp|golem}}-like Regis were featured in the [[M08|eighth movie]] as the protectors of the Tree of Beginning, but the true story of their history remains a mystery. They have a strong connection to the fourth Regi and their [[trio master|keeper]], '''{{p|Regigigas}}'''.
* '''{{MS|377|Regirock}} {{p|Regirock}}''' is found in the [[Desert Ruins]] in the [[Generation III]] games when the required puzzle is solved. Its location in {{game|Platinum}} is the [[Rock Peak Ruins]].
* '''{{MS|378|Regice}} {{p|Regice}}''' is found in the [[Island Cave]] in the Generation III games after solving a puzzle. Its location in Pokémon Platinum is the [[Iceberg Ruins]].
* '''{{MS|379|Registeel}} {{p|Registeel}}''' is found in the [[Ancient Tomb]] in the Generation III games, and, like the other two Regis, a puzzle must be solved before it can be reached. Its location in Pokémon Platinum is the [[Iron Ruins]].

====Eon duo====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|right|Latias and Latios|220px]]
Latias and Latios (sometimes referred to, collectively, as [[Lati@s]]) are twin {{t|Dragon}}s (one female, one male, respectively) featured in the [[M05|fifth movie]]. Special abilities they share include: Sight Sharing, an act where one twin can portray what he/she is seeing to the other twin and taking the shape of humans. According to legend, they guard the water city of [[Alto Mare]], and are revered as gods. They have a strong connection with the [[Soul Dew]].
* '''{{MS|380|Latias}} {{p|Latias}}''', the female twin, is found in the wild after defeating the Elite Four in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}. She changes routes whenever the player does, and is considered as rare as the legendary beasts in Generation II. She can also be obtained in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} by using the [[Eon Ticket]] obtained from [[Nintendo Power]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player's mom asks about a TV program after the Elite Four, she appears as in Sapphire if the player chooses Red, and as in Ruby if the player chooses Blue.
* '''{{MS|381|Latios}} {{p|Latios}}''', the male twin, is found in the wild after defeating the Elite Four in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}}. He is considered as rare as the legendary beasts in Generation II due to the similar route-changing activities that he shares with them and Latias. He can also be obtained in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}} by using the Eon Ticket obtained from Nintendo Power. In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player's mom asks about a TV program after the Elite Four, he appears as in Ruby if the player chooses Blue, and as in Sapphire if the player chooses Red.

====Weather trio====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza]]
Also known as the [[Weather trio|Elemental trio]], the [[Weather conditions|weather]]-related legendary Pokémon represent the balance of nature and play a major role in the storyline of the [[Hoenn]]-based Generation III games. It is said that, early in time, Groudon raised lands and expanded continents as Kyogre expanded the seas. These Pokémon took to a deep sleep after a cataclysmic battle, soothed by Rayquaza. All feature a unique pattern of lines around their bodies.

They are based on the {{wp|behemoth}}, {{wp|leviathan}}, and {{wp|ziz}} of Hebrew legend.
* '''{{MS|382|Kyogre}} {{p|Kyogre}}''' is the beast who has the power to expand the sea by bringing forth constant rain. It is found in the [[Cave of Origin]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}, and [[Marine Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}. It is the object of [[Team Aqua]]'s reverence. It was seen in the [[M09|ninth movie]].
* '''{{MS|383|Groudon}} {{p|Groudon}}''' is the beast who has the power to expand the land by scattering rain clouds and making water evaporate with light and heat. It is found in the Cave of Origin in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}}, and [[Terra Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}. It is the object of [[Team Magma]]'s reverence. It was seen in the [[M06|sixth movie]].
* '''{{MS|384|Rayquaza}} {{p|Rayquaza}}''' is the legendary dragon found in the [[Sky Pillar]] in the Generation III games. It is the protector of the skies. It was seen in the [[M07|seventh movie]].

====Outer space Pokémon====
Though the two aren't considered a duo, they are occassionally grouped together due to the fact that they both are related and come from outer space, are next to each other in both the [[National Pokédex]] as well as the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], are both [[event Pokémon]] and both have a base stat total of 600.
* '''{{MS|385|Jirachi}} {{p|Jirachi}}''' is the legendary wish-granting Pokémon who was available from [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s bonus disk in North America and available within [[Pokémon Channel]] in the UK, Europe and Australia (PAL Encoded Regions). It is likened to Mew, Celebi, Phione, Manaphy and Shaymin. Jirachi is the star of the [[M06|sixth movie]].
* '''{{MS|386|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386A|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386D|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386S|Deoxys}} {{p|Deoxys}}''' is a Pokémon with strange alien and virus-like characteristics. It changes its form depending on the game version in which it is found. The [[Aurora Ticket]] used to obtain Deoxys has been given out in North America at the New York {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} and 2004's [[Pokémon Rocks America]] events. Two different Deoxys were featured in the seventh movie, while a third was featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''.

===[[Generation IV]]===
The Generation IV games feature a total of 14 legendary Pokémon, the most of any generation.
{{Clear-both}}
====Lake guardians====
[[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|right|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf together]]
Also known as the Pixie, Spirit or [[Lake guardians|Lake trio]], these {{wp|Fairy}}-like creatures that each dwell in a trio of three lakes. Believed to have been birthed from Arceus, each represents a different aspect of the human mind. They were created to give "spirit" to the world.
* '''{{MS|480|Uxie}} {{p|Uxie}}''' embodies knowledge.
* '''{{MS|481|Mesprit}} {{p|Mesprit}}''' embodies emotion.
* '''{{MS|482|Azelf}} {{p|Azelf}}''' embodies willpower.

Uxie is located in the [[Lake Acuity|Acuity Cavern]], Mesprit will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] Sinnoh after the first encounter in the [[Lake Verity|Verity Cavern]], and Azelf is found in the [[Lake Valor|Valor Cavern]]. In Pokémon Platinum Version, [[Cyrus]] takes each of their jewels to create the [[Red Chain]] which he uses to capture {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} in his plot to recreate the world without spirit.

====Legendary dragons====
[[file:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The three Pokémon Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, known as the [[Dragon Trio]] are the mascots for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum versions, respectively, and have the ability to warp the fabric of reality. Birthed from Arceus to create matter, they battle for all of eternity in a different dimension. Dialga and Palkia were featured in the [[M10|tenth movie]], and Giratina was featured in the [[M11|eleventh movie]]. All three had their final encounter in the [[M12|twelfth movie]].
* '''{{MS|483|Dialga}} {{p|Dialga}}''' controls time.
* '''{{MS|484|Palkia}} {{p|Palkia}}''' controls space and dimensions.
* '''{{MS|487|Giratina}}/{{MS|487O|Giratina}} {{p|Giratina}}''' controls antimatter, the antithesis to the material world created by Dialga and Palkia together.
Depending on the game version, [[Team Galactic]] will try to gain control of one using the power of the lake trio. Their goal is to use their power to destroy the {{pkmn|universe}} and rebuild it with [[Cyrus]] as a god.

====Lunar duo====
[[Image:Darkrai-Newmoon_Island.png|thumb|left|Darkrai in Newmoon Island]]
Based on the [[wp:crescent moon|crescent]] and [[wp:new moon|new]] {{wp|moon}}, these two Pokémon seem to be complementary of one another. Cresselia can cure the permanent nightmares that Darkrai causes people to suffer.
* '''{{MS|488|Cresselia}} {{p|Cresselia}}''' resembles the crescent moon. It seems to bring peaceful dreams and is able to heal emotional scars. It can be found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]] after it is first encountered on [[Fullmoon Island]]. In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} she is a guardian of one of the moon tears.
* '''{{MS|491|Darkrai}} {{p|Darkrai}}''' can induce sleep and control dreams. It is active during nights with no moon, and can cause its victims to thrash about with terrible nightmares. It can be found on [[Newmoon Island]] if the {{player}} has a [[Member's Card]]. A Darkrai was featured in the [[M10|tenth movie]], along with one of each of the legendary dragons (except {{p|Giratina}}), while a second made its anime debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]''. It has a connection with the dark crystal in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

====Sea guardian Pokémon====
* '''{{MS|489|Phione}} {{p|Phione}}''' is the result of breeding Manaphy (or another Phione) with {{p|Ditto}}, and is the only legendary to be obtained in such a manner. Until recently, its status was heavily debated; however, [[Pokémon.com]] revealed that Phione is, in fact, a legendary.
* '''{{MS|490|Manaphy}} {{p|Manaphy}}''' is referred to as the "Prince of the Sea." It must be hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}}, which can, according to the two Ranger games, only be done in warm regions, and has the power to swap the hearts of people and Pokémon, putting them into different bodies. It was featured in the [[M09|ninth movie]], where it had the ability to locate the temple of the sea.
====Other legendary Pokémon====
* '''{{MS|485|Heatran}} {{p|Heatran}}''' is a dual-type Fire/Steel Pokémon that can be found in [[Stark Mountain]]. It was born from the flames of a volcano when Dialga, Palkia and their relatives first created the universe. The lava and magma pooled together to become the first living Heatran, and later, [[Stark Mountain]], its home. In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, it is a guardian of a prince tear. It is also the first legendary Pokémon that can be either male or female. A Heatran appeared in the [[M12|twelfth movie]].
* '''{{MS|486|Regigigas}} {{p|Regigigas}}''' is the Normal-type Regi that can be found only when the [[Legendary golems|three other Regis]] are reunited. It is said that it moved the continents into place by pulling them with rope. A Regigigas was awakened in the [[M11|eleventh movie]] from its shrine. In {{game|Platinum}} it is stated that created the other golems in the image of itself from an iceberg, rocks, and magma.
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|Shaymin running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
* '''{{MS|492|Shaymin}}/{{MS|492S|Shaymin}} {{p|Shaymin}}''' is the Gratitude Pokémon that curls up in flower-beds and often goes unnoticed. It has the ability to instantly purify an area of all pollutants and transform it into a flowery field. It can transform into another Forme. Shaymin and its Sky Forme were featured in the [[M11|eleventh movie]]. Many Shaymin appeared in the film, as well in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky}}, confirming that the Shaymin species is more common than that of other legendary species. If the player has [[Oak's Letter]], [[Flower Paradise]], where Shaymin is located, can be accessed after their thanks are expressed at the white rock on [[Route 224]].
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|Arceus]]
* '''{{MS|493|Arceus}} {{p|Arceus}}''' is the creation Pokémon said to have been born from an egg in the nothingness of space in a vortex of chaos. It created matter (time and space) and spirit (knowledge, emotion and will) before falling into eternal slumber. It can be awoken by playing the [[Azure Flute]] at the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Arceus appears in the [[M12|twelfth movie]].

===Other Pokémon of myth===
* {{MS|038|Ninetales}} Like Arcanine, '''{{p|Ninetales}}''' is occasionally considered a legendary Pokémon due to it being elusive, incredibly long-lived, and possessing the ability to cast powerful curses against anyone that touches its tails. This is specifically mentioned in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. It also is the counterpart to Arcanine.
* '''{{MS|059|Arcanine}} {{p|Arcanine}}''''s [[species]] classification is ''Legendary''.
* {{MS|130|Gyarados}} {{MS|350|Milotic}} The fierceness and destructive nature of '''{{p|Gyarados}}''' is described in the [[Pokédex]] as a thing of legend as is the seemingly complementary beauty and calming ability of '''{{p|Milotic}}'''.
* {{MS|149|Dragonite}} {{MS|248|Tyranitar}} {{MS|373|Salamence}} {{MS|376|Metagross}} {{MS|445|Garchomp}} The ''[[pseudo-legendary]]'' Pokémon '''{{p|Dragonite}}''', '''{{p|Tyranitar}}''', '''{{p|Salamence}}''', '''{{p|Metagross}}''' and '''{{p|Garchomp}}''' are usually placed within the end section of a regional Pokédex together with other legendaries (with the exception of {{p|Garchomp}}), and are rare and powerful.
* '''{{MS|201|Unown}} {{p|Unown}}''' are a mysterious species of Pokémon based on the Latin alphabet. [[Professor Oak]] referred to them as legendary, probably because they were featured heavily in ancient myths and legends and because they can display large amounts of otherworldly power in swarms. Also, like legendaries, they cannot breed. In the anime, they appear to live in the [[Unown dimension|same dimension]] as Dialga and Palkia.
* '''{{MS|175|Togepi}} {{MS|176|Togetic}} {{MS|468|Togekiss}} {{p|Togepi}}''' and its evolutions are incredibly rare and bring joy wherever they go. In ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' Togepi is referred to as a savior.
* {{MS|359|Absol}} The presence of '''{{p|Absol}}''' is a fabled warning of impending disaster. It also was featured as a protagonist in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.
* {{MS|442|Spiritomb}} '''{{p|Spiritomb}}''' was formed by 108 spirits and is bound to a fissure in an [[Odd Keystone]] because of misdeeds 500 years ago. It also has a unique method of capture (in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}), being only attainable after the player had gone underground 32 times and using the [[Odd Keystone]] on the [[Hallowed Tower]].
* '''{{MS|448|Lucario}} {{p|Lucario}}''' and its master [[Sir Aaron]] were forever revered because of their help pacifying an ancient battle, as seen in the eighth movie. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, a Lucario was regarded as a legendary Rescue Team Leader in the distant past, and "Lucario Rank" is the highest attainable team rank in the game. In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} he is the only non-legendary guardian of a prince tear. Also, in the opening of the Diamond and Pearl theme song, {{p|Lucario}} appears beside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. '''{{MS|447|Riolu}} {{p|Riolu}}''', Lucario's pre-evolution was only obtainable as a gift egg Pokémon up to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}.
* {{MS|479|Rotom}} When facing '''{{p|Rotom}}''', the music is the same as when facing a legendary Pokémon. It, along with the legendary Giratina and Shaymin, has also received new forms in {{v2|Platinum}}. Rotom is sometimes considered to be a ''semi-legendary''.

==Trivia==
* In the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendaries.
** This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the canon to imply that the {{player}} only ever happens to meet more than one of them, and in fact there are others elsewhere.
* Every generation has had at least one {{t|Psychic}}- and {{type2|Flying}} legendary (though in [[Generation IV]], {{p|Shaymin}} is only able to be part-Flying during the daytime, and {{p|Arceus}} is only Flying-type when holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}).
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because GameFreak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small amount of legendaries who have had their names changed outside of Japan (a current number of six, the [[legendary birds]] and [[lake guardians]]).
* As of the release of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all non-event legendary Pokémon can be caught in [[Generation IV]]. {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} can be caught in the Johto remakes, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} can be caught in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, and {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are in {{v2|Platinum}}.
* {{p|Heatran}} is the only dual-type legendary Pokémon that is not {{type|Flying}}, {{type|Psychic}}, or {{type|Dragon}}.

===Unique themes===
Battle themes are shared by related legendaries, while many [[legendary trios]] have a theme specific to themselves. These themes are either entirely unique in melody, or they are a small to major variation of a song already in game. Specifically:
* '''[[Generation I]]''' Legendaries
** {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} feature a theme specific to themselves in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto, as a reference to the fact that in Generation I, there was only one battle theme for wild Pokémon, legendary or not. When they are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}, they use the standard wild legendary battle theme.
** {{p|Mewtwo}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, another remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto.
** {{p|Mew}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|Emerald}}, and despite being found in the wild ''only'' in a [[Hoenn]]-based game, it is yet another remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto.
* '''[[Generation II]]''' Legendaries
** In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} featured the standard wild Pokémon encounter music of [[Johto]], however, in {{game|Crystal}}, this was changed to a theme specific to themselves. When they are encountered in FireRed and LeafGreen, they use the standard legendary battle theme shared with the legendary birds, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, they each received a different remix of their theme from Crystal.
** {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} use the standard wild Pokémon encounter music in Generation II, use Mewtwo's theme in Generation III, and finally get their own themes in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with each of them having their own specific theme.
** {{p|Celebi}} has only featured the standard wild Pokémon battle music when it is encountered.
* '''[[Generation III]]''' Legendaries
** {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} feature a theme specific to themselves in Generation III when they are encountered. It was tuned up and reused when they are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}.
** {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} have only featured the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
** {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} have a theme specific to themselves when encountered in Generation III.
** {{p|Deoxys}} features a battle theme specific to itself when battled on [[Birth Island]], making it the first to share its theme with no other Pokémon.
** {{p|Jirachi}} has never appeared in battle as a wild Pokémon aside from [[cheating]]. However, if cheating is used to encounter Jirachi, the standard wild Pokémon battle music will play.
* '''[[Generation IV]]''' Legendaries
** {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} feature a theme specific to themselves in Generation IV when they are encountered.
** {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} feature a theme specific to themselves in Generation IV when they are encountered.
** {{p|Giratina}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|Platinum}} when it is encountered.
** {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} feature a theme specific to themselves in Generation IV when they are encountered. This theme is, strangely, shared with the non-legendary {{p|Rotom}}, and likewise is shared with {{p|Giratina}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
** {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} have never appeared in battle as a wild Pokémon aside from [[cheating]]. However, if cheating is used to encounter them, the standard wild Pokémon battle music will play.
** {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}} use the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
** {{p|Arceus}}, perhaps fittingly, has its own theme shared with no others as well. However, it has been noted that its theme is similar to the mysterious radio signal encountered in the Ruins of Alph in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{game|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}.

'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of incredibly rare, and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

While in English, all are typically grouped under the banner of "legendary", there are three distinct terms in Japanese that are used to refer to them. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' ''densetsu no Pokémon'', literally "Pokémon of legend", refers to Pokémon such as {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, who are featured prominently in the legends of the Pokémon world. A second, '''幻のポケモン''' ''maboroshi no Pokémon'', literally "Pokémon of illusions", refers to Pokémon seen so rarely, such as {{p|Mew}}, that some question their very existence. This term was translated in the [[Generation IV]] games as "mirage Pokémon", in reference to the various [[Sinnoh myths|myths of Sinnoh]], and many consider it to refer to Pokémon that are restricted to [[Nintendo event]]s, not available during the course of normal gameplay. The third and newest term is '''神話のポケモン''' ''shinwa no Pokémon'', literally "Pokémon of myth", which refers to the Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==
Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are four notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Cresselia}}), and all but {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}}.

No legendary Pokémon is known to [[evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[legendary trio]] or [[legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in a much higher regard than in the games, with their powers seen as being almost {{wp|deity|godlike}}. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, both due to their rarity as well as their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Some speculate, however, that if a Trainer were to "play by the rules", encountering and befriending the legendary Pokémon just the same as they would any other Pokémon, the results would not be as chaotic, if at all. This theory possibly has some weight, as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}, while [[Lawrence III]]'s capture of {{mov|Zapdos|Zapdos|2}} and {{mov|Moltres|Moltres|2}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was one of intended dominance and collection instead. It should be noted, however, that Noland was never seen to have had Articuno in a Poké Ball, and at the same time, he is a rather skilled Trainer.

Many legendary Pokémon are shown to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, while none are immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and the injury of {{an|Arceus}}. Very few, in fact, are often considered unique, with only {{an|Mewtwo}} known to be (due to the [[The Birth of Mewtwo|circumstances of its creation]]) and {{an|Arceus}}, {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{an|Giratina}} assumed to be, due to their role in the creation of the universe.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
Of the 493 Pokémon species, 35 are considered to be legendary, while several more have certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one legendary trio and one legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Art by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]].]]
The three [[legendary birds]], also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based off of a mythical bird, and each is associated with a {{wp|season}} (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the anime, the legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[Image:Mewtwo_and_Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} fight in [[M01|the first movie]]]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first [[event]]-exclusive Pokémon, being otherwise available only by [[Mew glitch|glitching the game]] or [[cheating]]. One is available in the wild on [[Faraway Island]], an event area in {{game|Emerald}}, the only time it is legitimately able to be caught from the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been cloned from Mew in the journals in the Pokémon Mansion. Unlike most Pokémon, however, Mew gave live birth to Mewtwo, rather than laying an {{pkmn|egg}} and Mewtwo hatching from it. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss [[Giovanni]] funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

===Generation II===
More legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Eusine]] discover the legendary beasts in the basement of the burned-out [[Brass Tower]].]]
Like the legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These [[legendary beasts]], so named because their features are reminiscent of both {{wp|canine}} and {{wp|feline}} animals, were trapped in the [[Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the legendary beasts have never appeared together. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the legendary beasts in a central role, with {{mov|Entei|Entei|3}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{mov|Suicune|Suicune|4}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based off of {{ga|Gold}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.

====Tower duo====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Brass Tower]], home of Lugia, was struck by lightning, it burned to the ground, and both flew away, Lugia to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based off of the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where [[XD001|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive legendary.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto, and through this, the anime revealed that legendary Pokémon could breed (this is untrue in the games, at least in captivity, likely to restrict players from getting a limitless number of them).

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the savior of the legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop [[Tin Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow at the start of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s journey at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, one accidentally brings a young [[Professor Oak]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s Dark Balls to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so.

===[[Generation III]]===
The Generation III games feature a total of 10 new legendaries.
====[[Legendary golems]]====
[[Image:Regis.png|thumb|left|(From left to right) Regice, Registeel, and Regirock]]
The legendary {{wp|golem}}-like Regis were featured in the [[M08|eighth movie]] as the protectors of the Tree of Beginning, but the true story of their history remains a mystery. They have a strong connection to the fourth Regi and their [[trio master|keeper]], '''{{p|Regigigas}}'''.
* '''{{MS|377|Regirock}} {{p|Regirock}}''' is found in the [[Desert Ruins]] in the [[Generation III]] games when the required puzzle is solved. Its location in {{game|Platinum}} is the [[Rock Peak Ruins]].
* '''{{MS|378|Regice}} {{p|Regice}}''' is found in the [[Island Cave]] in the Generation III games after solving a puzzle. Its location in Pokémon Platinum is the [[Iceberg Ruins]].
* '''{{MS|379|Registeel}} {{p|Registeel}}''' is found in the [[Ancient Tomb]] in the Generation III games, and, like the other two Regis, a puzzle must be solved before it can be reached. Its location in Pokémon Platinum is the [[Iron Ruins]].

====Eon duo====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|right|Latias and Latios|220px]]
Latias and Latios (sometimes referred to, collectively, as [[Lati@s]]) are twin {{t|Dragon}}s (one female, one male, respectively) featured in the [[M05|fifth movie]]. Special abilities they share include: Sight Sharing, an act where one twin can portray what he/she is seeing to the other twin and taking the shape of humans. According to legend, they guard the water city of [[Alto Mare]], and are revered as gods. They have a strong connection with the [[Soul Dew]].
* '''{{MS|380|Latias}} {{p|Latias}}''', the female twin, is found in the wild after defeating the Elite Four in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}. She changes routes whenever the player does, and is considered as rare as the legendary beasts in Generation II. She can also be obtained in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} by using the [[Eon Ticket]] obtained from [[Nintendo Power]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player's mom asks about a TV program after the Elite Four, she appears as in Sapphire if the player chooses Red, and as in Ruby if the player chooses Blue.
* '''{{MS|381|Latios}} {{p|Latios}}''', the male twin, is found in the wild after defeating the Elite Four in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}}. He is considered as rare as the legendary beasts in Generation II due to the similar route-changing activities that he shares with them and Latias. He can also be obtained in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}} by using the Eon Ticket obtained from Nintendo Power. In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player's mom asks about a TV program after the Elite Four, he appears as in Ruby if the player chooses Blue, and as in Sapphire if the player chooses Red.

====Weather trio====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza]]
Also known as the [[Weather trio|Elemental trio]], the [[Weather conditions|weather]]-related legendary Pokémon represent the balance of nature and play a major role in the storyline of the [[Hoenn]]-based Generation III games. It is said that, early in time, Groudon raised lands and expanded continents as Kyogre expanded the seas. These Pokémon took to a deep sleep after a cataclysmic battle, soothed by Rayquaza. All feature a unique pattern of lines around their bodies.

They are based on the {{wp|behemoth}}, {{wp|leviathan}}, and {{wp|ziz}} of Hebrew legend.
* '''{{MS|382|Kyogre}} {{p|Kyogre}}''' is the beast who has the power to expand the sea by bringing forth constant rain. It is found in the [[Cave of Origin]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}, and [[Marine Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}. It is the object of [[Team Aqua]]'s reverence. It was seen in the [[M09|ninth movie]].
* '''{{MS|383|Groudon}} {{p|Groudon}}''' is the beast who has the power to expand the land by scattering rain clouds and making water evaporate with light and heat. It is found in the Cave of Origin in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}}, and [[Terra Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}. It is the object of [[Team Magma]]'s reverence. It was seen in the [[M06|sixth movie]].
* '''{{MS|384|Rayquaza}} {{p|Rayquaza}}''' is the legendary dragon found in the [[Sky Pillar]] in the Generation III games. It is the protector of the skies. It was seen in the [[M07|seventh movie]].

====Outer space Pokémon====
Though the two aren't considered a duo, they are occassionally grouped together due to the fact that they both are related and come from outer space, are next to each other in both the [[National Pokédex]] as well as the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], are both [[event Pokémon]] and both have a base stat total of 600.
* '''{{MS|385|Jirachi}} {{p|Jirachi}}''' is the legendary wish-granting Pokémon who was available from [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s bonus disk in North America and available within [[Pokémon Channel]] in the UK, Europe and Australia (PAL Encoded Regions). It is likened to Mew, Celebi, Phione, Manaphy and Shaymin. Jirachi is the star of the [[M06|sixth movie]].
* '''{{MS|386|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386A|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386D|Deoxys}}/{{MS|386S|Deoxys}} {{p|Deoxys}}''' is a Pokémon with strange alien and virus-like characteristics. It changes its form depending on the game version in which it is found. The [[Aurora Ticket]] used to obtain Deoxys has been given out in North America at the New York {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} and 2004's [[Pokémon Rocks America]] events. Two different Deoxys were featured in the seventh movie, while a third was featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''.

===[[Generation IV]]===
The Generation IV games feature a total of 14 legendary Pokémon, the most of any generation.
{{Clear-both}}
====Lake guardians====
[[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|right|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf together]]
Also known as the Pixie, Spirit or [[Lake guardians|Lake trio]], these {{wp|Fairy}}-like creatures that each dwell in a trio of three lakes. Believed to have been birthed from Arceus, each represents a different aspect of the human mind. They were created to give "spirit" to the world.
* '''{{MS|480|Uxie}} {{p|Uxie}}''' embodies knowledge.
* '''{{MS|481|Mesprit}} {{p|Mesprit}}''' embodies emotion.
* '''{{MS|482|Azelf}} {{p|Azelf}}''' embodies willpower.

Uxie is located in the [[Lake Acuity|Acuity Cavern]], Mesprit will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] Sinnoh after the first encounter in the [[Lake Verity|Verity Cavern]], and Azelf is found in the [[Lake Valor|Valor Cavern]]. In Pokémon Platinum Version, [[Cyrus]] takes each of their jewels to create the [[Red Chain]] which he uses to capture {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} in his plot to recreate the world without spirit.

====Legendary dragons====
[[file:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The three Pokémon Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, known as the [[Dragon Trio]] are the mascots for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum versions, respectively, and have the ability to warp the fabric of reality. Birthed from Arceus to create matter, they battle for all of eternity in a different dimension. Dialga and Palkia were featured in the [[M10|tenth movie]], and Giratina was featured in the [[M11|eleventh movie]]. All three had their final encounter in the [[M12|twelfth movie]].
* '''{{MS|483|Dialga}} {{p|Dialga}}''' controls time.
* '''{{MS|484|Palkia}} {{p|Palkia}}''' controls space and dimensions.
* '''{{MS|487|Giratina}}/{{MS|487O|Giratina}} {{p|Giratina}}''' controls antimatter, the antithesis to the material world created by Dialga and Palkia together.
Depending on the game version, [[Team Galactic]] will try to gain control of one using the power of the lake trio. Their goal is to use their power to destroy the {{pkmn|universe}} and rebuild it with [[Cyrus]] as a god.

====Lunar duo====
[[Image:Darkrai-Newmoon_Island.png|thumb|left|Darkrai in Newmoon Island]]
Based on the [[wp:crescent moon|crescent]] and [[wp:new moon|new]] {{wp|moon}}, these two Pokémon seem to be complementary of one another. Cresselia can cure the permanent nightmares that Darkrai causes people to suffer.
* '''{{MS|488|Cresselia}} {{p|Cresselia}}''' resembles the crescent moon. It seems to bring peaceful dreams and is able to heal emotional scars. It can be found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]] after it is first encountered on [[Fullmoon Island]]. In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} she is a guardian of one of the moon tears.
* '''{{MS|491|Darkrai}} {{p|Darkrai}}''' can induce sleep and control dreams. It is active during nights with no moon, and can cause its victims to thrash about with terrible nightmares. It can be found on [[Newmoon Island]] if the {{player}} has a [[Member's Card]]. A Darkrai was featured in the [[M10|tenth movie]], along with one of each of the legendary dragons (except {{p|Giratina}}), while a second made its anime debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]''. It has a connection with the dark crystal in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

====Sea guardian Pokémon====
* '''{{MS|489|Phione}} {{p|Phione}}''' is the result of breeding Manaphy (or another Phione) with {{p|Ditto}}, and is the only legendary to be obtained in such a manner. Until recently, its status was heavily debated; however, [[Pokémon.com]] revealed that Phione is, in fact, a legendary.
* '''{{MS|490|Manaphy}} {{p|Manaphy}}''' is referred to as the "Prince of the Sea." It must be hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}}, which can, according to the two Ranger games, only be done in warm regions, and has the power to swap the hearts of people and Pokémon, putting them into different bodies. It was featured in the [[M09|ninth movie]], where it had the ability to locate the temple of the sea.
====Other legendary Pokémon====
* '''{{MS|485|Heatran}} {{p|Heatran}}''' is a dual-type Fire/Steel Pokémon that can be found in [[Stark Mountain]]. It was born from the flames of a volcano when Dialga, Palkia and their relatives first created the universe. The lava and magma pooled together to become the first living Heatran, and later, [[Stark Mountain]], its home. In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, it is a guardian of a prince tear. It is also the first legendary Pokémon that can be either male or female. A Heatran appeared in the [[M12|twelfth movie]].
* '''{{MS|486|Regigigas}} {{p|Regigigas}}''' is the Normal-type Regi that can be found only when the [[Legendary golems|three other Regis]] are reunited. It is said that it moved the continents into place by pulling them with rope. A Regigigas was awakened in the [[M11|eleventh movie]] from its shrine. In {{game|Platinum}} it is stated that created the other golems in the image of itself from an iceberg, rocks, and magma.
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|Shaymin running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
* '''{{MS|492|Shaymin}}/{{MS|492S|Shaymin}} {{p|Shaymin}}''' is the Gratitude Pokémon that curls up in flower-beds and often goes unnoticed. It has the ability to instantly purify an area of all pollutants and transform it into a flowery field. It can transform into another Forme. Shaymin and its Sky Forme were featured in the [[M11|eleventh movie]]. Many Shaymin appeared in the film, as well in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky}}, confirming that the Shaymin species is more common than that of other legendary species. If the player has [[Oak's Letter]], [[Flower Paradise]], where Shaymin is located, can be accessed after their thanks are expressed at the white rock on [[Route 224]].
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|Arceus]]
* '''{{MS|493|Arceus}} {{p|Arceus}}''' is the creation Pokémon said to have been born from an egg in the nothingness of space in a vortex of chaos. It created matter (time and space) and spirit (knowledge, emotion and will) before falling into eternal slumber. It can be awoken by playing the [[Azure Flute]] at the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Arceus appears in the [[M12|twelfth movie]].

===Other Pokémon of myth===
* {{MS|038|Ninetales}} Like Arcanine, '''{{p|Ninetales}}''' is occasionally considered a legendary Pokémon due to it being elusive, incredibly long-lived, and possessing the ability to cast powerful curses against anyone that touches its tails. This is specifically mentioned in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. It also is the counterpart to Arcanine.
* '''{{MS|059|Arcanine}} {{p|Arcanine}}''''s [[species]] classification is ''Legendary''.
* {{MS|130|Gyarados}} {{MS|350|Milotic}} The fierceness and destructive nature of '''{{p|Gyarados}}''' is described in the [[Pokédex]] as a thing of legend as is the seemingly complementary beauty and calming ability of '''{{p|Milotic}}'''.
* {{MS|149|Dragonite}} {{MS|248|Tyranitar}} {{MS|373|Salamence}} {{MS|376|Metagross}} {{MS|445|Garchomp}} The ''[[pseudo-legendary]]'' Pokémon '''{{p|Dragonite}}''', '''{{p|Tyranitar}}''', '''{{p|Salamence}}''', '''{{p|Metagross}}''' and '''{{p|Garchomp}}''' are usually placed within the end section of a regional Pokédex together with other legendaries (with the exception of {{p|Garchomp}}), and are rare and powerful.
* '''{{MS|201|Unown}} {{p|Unown}}''' are a mysterious species of Pokémon based on the Latin alphabet. [[Professor Oak]] referred to them as legendary, probably because they were featured heavily in ancient myths and legends and because they can display large amounts of otherworldly power in swarms. Also, like legendaries, they cannot breed. In the anime, they appear to live in the [[Unown dimension|same dimension]] as Dialga and Palkia.
* '''{{MS|175|Togepi}} {{MS|176|Togetic}} {{MS|468|Togekiss}} {{p|Togepi}}''' and its evolutions are incredibly rare and bring joy wherever they go. In ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' Togepi is referred to as a savior.
* {{MS|359|Absol}} The presence of '''{{p|Absol}}''' is a fabled warning of impending disaster. It also was featured as a protagonist in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.
* {{MS|442|Spiritomb}} '''{{p|Spiritomb}}''' was formed by 108 spirits and is bound to a fissure in an [[Odd Keystone]] because of misdeeds 500 years ago. It also has a unique method of capture (in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}), being only attainable after the player had gone underground 32 times and using the [[Odd Keystone]] on the [[Hallowed Tower]].
* '''{{MS|448|Lucario}} {{p|Lucario}}''' and its master [[Sir Aaron]] were forever revered because of their help pacifying an ancient battle, as seen in the eighth movie. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, a Lucario was regarded as a legendary Rescue Team Leader in the distant past, and "Lucario Rank" is the highest attainable team rank in the game. In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} he is the only non-legendary guardian of a prince tear. Also, in the opening of the Diamond and Pearl theme song, {{p|Lucario}} appears beside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. '''{{MS|447|Riolu}} {{p|Riolu}}''', Lucario's pre-evolution was only obtainable as a gift egg Pokémon up to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}.
* {{MS|479|Rotom}} When facing '''{{p|Rotom}}''', the music is the same as when facing a legendary Pokémon. It, along with the legendary Giratina and Shaymin, has also received new forms in {{v2|Platinum}}. Rotom is sometimes considered to be a ''semi-legendary''.

==Trivia==
* In the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendaries.
** This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the canon to imply that the {{player}} only ever happens to meet more than one of them, and in fact there are others elsewhere.
* Every generation has had at least one {{t|Psychic}}- and {{type2|Flying}} legendary (though in [[Generation IV]], {{p|Shaymin}} is only able to be part-Flying during the daytime, and {{p|Arceus}} is only Flying-type when holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}).
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because GameFreak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small amount of legendaries who have had their names changed outside of Japan (a current number of six, the [[legendary birds]] and [[lake guardians]]).
* As of the release of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all non-event legendary Pokémon can be caught in [[Generation IV]]. {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} can be caught in the Johto remakes, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} can be caught in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, and {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are in {{v2|Platinum}}.
* {{p|Heatran}} is the only dual-type legendary Pokémon that is not {{type|Flying}}, {{type|Psychic}}, or {{type|Dragon}}.

===Unique themes===
Battle themes are shared by related legendaries, while many [[legendary trios]] have a theme specific to themselves. These themes are either entirely unique in melody, or they are a small to major variation of a song already in game. Specifically:
* '''[[Generation I]]''' Legendaries
** {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} feature a theme specific to themselves in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto, as a reference to the fact that in Generation I, there was only one battle theme for wild Pokémon, legendary or not. When they are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}, they use the standard wild legendary battle theme.
** {{p|Mewtwo}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, another remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto.
** {{p|Mew}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|Emerald}}, and despite being found in the wild ''only'' in a [[Hoenn]]-based game, it is yet another remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto.
* '''[[Generation II]]''' Legendaries
** In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} featured the standard wild Pokémon encounter music of [[Johto]], however, in {{game|Crystal}}, this was changed to a theme specific to themselves. When they are encountered in FireRed and LeafGreen, they use the standard legendary battle theme shared with the legendary birds, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, they each received a different remix of their theme from Crystal.
** {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} use the standard wild Pokémon encounter music in Generation II, use Mewtwo's theme in Generation III, and finally get their own themes in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with each of them having their own specific theme.
** {{p|Celebi}} has only featured the standard wild Pokémon battle music when it is encountered.
* '''[[Generation III]]''' Legendaries
** {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} feature a theme specific to themselves in Generation III when they are encountered. It was tuned up and reused when they are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}.
** {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} have only featured the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
** {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} have a theme specific to themselves when encountered in Generation III.
** {{p|Deoxys}} features a battle theme specific to itself when battled on [[Birth Island]], making it the first to share its theme with no other Pokémon.
** {{p|Jirachi}} has never appeared in battle as a wild Pokémon aside from [[cheating]].
* '''[[Generation IV]]''' Legendaries
** {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} feature a theme specific to themselves in Generation IV when they are encountered.
** {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} feature a theme specific to themselves in Generation IV when they are encountered.
** {{p|Giratina}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|Platinum}} when it is encountered.
** {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} feature a theme specific to themselves in Generation IV when they are encountered. This theme is, strangely, shared with the non-legendary {{p|Rotom}}, and likewise is shared with {{p|Giratina}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
** {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} have never appeared in battle as a wild Pokémon aside from [[cheating]].
** {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}} use the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
** {{p|Arceus}}, perhaps fittingly, has its own theme shared with no others as well. However, it has been noted that its theme is similar to the mysterious radio signal encountered in the Ruins of Alph in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and {{game|Crystal}}.

'''Professor Elm''' (Japanese: '''ウツギ博士''' ''Dr. Utsugi'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[New Bark Town]] in [[Johto]]. Saying so himself, Professor Elm studies unusual Pokémon abilities. He also specializes in [[Pokémon breeding]], and is credited with the discovery of [[Pokémon egg]]s.

Elm gives one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Johto —{{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}} — to {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{tt|*|Crystal}} and {{ga|Lyra}}{{tt|*|HeartGold/SoulSilver}} so that he or she will have an easier time of getting to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house.

==In the games==
Professor Elm works at his Laboratory in [[New Bark Town]] with his aide. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and child. Elm is known for being a little scatter-brained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research. He holds [[Professor Oak]] in high regards. At the start of Pokémon [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]] he gives the {{player}} his or her first [[starter Pokémon]].

After successfully hatching the {{pkmn|egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}}, he gives the player an {{evostone|Everstone}}.

Also, after defeating the [[Elite Four]], he gives the player a [[Master Ball]] and a ticket to the [[S.S. Aqua]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Elm.jpg|220px|left|thumb|Professor Elm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[Image:Professor Elm.png|thumb|right|Elm's art from Gold, Silver, and Crystal.|80px]]
Elm was the top student of [[Professor Oak]], and often argues with him over their research. Elm is also well known for his very long and unnecessary speeches. He is also absent-minded and Elm has a habit of getting incredibly wrapped up in his research that he is completely oblivious to his surroundings.

{{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] first met Professor Elm in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. After a period of travel, they met up again while he was studying in the [[Whirl Islands]] with [[Captain Marius]], and finally again when Ash returns to New Bark Town.

As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, he asked Ash to deliver an {{pkmn|egg}} that had been poached from Mt. Silver to him. This hatched into a {{AP|Larvitar}}, which Professor Elm then asked Ash to deliver to its home.

His most recent appearance was a short cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Adventures, he was initially to be brought several Pokémon by [[Joey]] from [[Professor Oak]], but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well.

After Gold first battled with the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Ilex Forest]] and lost, Elm was able to get a sample of his clothing and found particles on them, but he did not know what they were. Elm then contacted Gold when he was battling the Masked Man for a second time, informing him that the particles on the clothes are the same substance used for Gym Badges, and that the Masked Man must be a trainer. He tells Gold that he shouldn't try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with "It's too late".

Professor Elm then decided that Gold was trustworthy enough to try and hatch an egg for him, saying that it hadn't moved an inch while it was in the lab. Whilst the egg did hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}, due to Gold's habits of visiting arcades while it was an egg, it learned how to play dice, pool, and poker, making Elm furious about how Gold had turned it into a delinquent.

Joey stays behind with him to help Elm with chores and research.

Afterwards, both Joey and Elm make a cameo in the DP saga, talking with [[Professor Rowan]] via videophone.

==Trivia==
* Professor Elm is the only {{pkmn|professor}} in the main series that doesn't welcome the player to the world of Pokémon at the start of the game. [[Professor Oak]] takes his place instead.
** As such, he is also the only Professor without a large in-game sprite, having only the overworld sprite.
*Professor Elm is the only Professor to give the [[Player Character]] a [[Starter Pokémon]] that does not also give them a [[Pokédex]].

==Notes==
*[[Janine]] is accidentally named ''Charine'' in the English version of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. This is the only language in which such a situation occurs.
*In the English version of {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}}, [[Giovanni]]’s name is misspelled ''Giovani'' (with one n).
*Despite not being present in [[Generation II]] games, [[Giovanni]] is mentioned by a Rocket Grunt in the {{OBP|Rocket Hideout|Mahogany Town}}.
*[[Kiyo]]’s name, which was revealed during [[Generation II]], is misnamed ''Koichi'' (Japanese: タケノリ ''Takenori'') in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} due to oversight of original Japanese producers.
*Some characters, such as [[Lorelei]], [[Eusine]] and the [[Kimono Girls]], have different names in the anime. Some others, like [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]], [[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]], [[Shelly]] and [[Tabitha]], have different manga names.
*[[PokéGear|Fisher Chris]] was renamed ''Tully'' in {{game|Crystal}}.
*''Lorelei'' is referred to by her correct name in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]] (an anime based game), despite being called Prima in the anime.
*Italian and Spanish [[Generation I]] games maintain the English name of every character.
*In the French versions, [[Brock]] and [[Steven Stone|Steven]] share the same name, ''Pierre''.
*{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s French name is listed as ''Capucine'' at [http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/pokemonemerald/frFR/ the official Emerald site], but her in-game name is ''Cathy''.
*Also, {{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}}'s French name was mistakenly listed as ''Thornton'' on the French Nintendo Europe website.
*Only {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, SoulSilver|s}} and {{pkmn|Trozei!}} have been localized into Korean, so only characters from these games have a translated name in games ([[Brigette]]'s names come from the manga, while [[Todd Snap|Todd's]] name comes from the anime). [[Generation III]] characters also have localized Korean names from mangas and anime, which tend to vary.
*Before the localization of {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Eusine]] was known under his Japanese name 미나키 ''Minaki'' in the Korean translation of [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
*Cal was originally known as 빛나 ''Bitna'' in the Korean versions of [[Generation II]] games. This was changed to 빛남 ''Bitnam'' in [[Generation IV]], probably in order to differentiate from {{ga|Dawn}}.

'''Goldenrod City''' (Japanese: '''コガネシティ''' ''Kogane City'') is a sprawling metropolis located in western [[Johto]]. It is the largest city in the region, rivaling [[Saffron City]], the largest city in [[Kanto]]. Goldenrod is the center of the region's economy and telecommunications. Major attractions for Trainers include the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], the city's [[Goldenrod Department Store|Department Store]], [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Game Corner]], [[Name Rater]], [[Global Terminal]] and [[Goldenrod Gym|Gym]].

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Goldenrod City in order to win the [[Badge#Plain Badge|Plain Badge]] from [[Whitney]], the Goldenrod [[Gym Leader]], who specializes in {{type2|Normal}} [[Pokémon]].

The [[National Park]], along with the [[Pokéathlon Dome]] is located north of Goldenrod off of {{rt|35}} while the [[Pokémon Daycare]] is just south of the city on {{rt|34}}.

==Places of interest==
===Bike Shop===
{{main|Miracle Cycle}}

The lone Bike Shop in Johto is located in an isolated neighborhood in east Goldenrod, where business doesn't seem to be doing very good. The owner of the shop moved his business from [[Cerulean City]] to Goldenrod in between [[Generation I]]/{{gen|III}} and [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}}.

The player obtains their [[Bicycle]] from the Goldenrod Miracle Cycle shop for free. It is initially for a temporary time, but they are allowed to keep it as riding it around increased the number of customers.

===Goldenrod Department Store===
[[File:Goldenrod City HGSS.png|thumb|200px|right|Goldenrod City in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
{{main|Goldenrod Department Store}}

The Goldenrod Department Store, located in the city center, claims to have a full selection of Pokémon Goods for Trainers. Though the store does not carry vital items such as {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}s, {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}s, or {{DL|Poké Ball|Generation I Poké Balls|Ultra Ball}}s, it does back up its claim by boasting the widest selection of specialty items in Johto. It takes up quite a bit of space in Goldenrod City and is easy to find.

The store is composed of nine levels, including two basements and six shopping floors. The uppermost floor features a rooftop square. The rooftop cannot be accessed by the elevator, instead the player must travel up the final flight of stairs. Some binoculars let spectators see things far away. Some people go up to the roof top to take a break from shopping.

The basements of the store connect to the {{OBP|Underground Path|Goldenrod}}, which encompasses most of western Goldenrod. A team of workers and a {{p|Machoke}} are moving boxes around. People get told off by the worker for going down and distracting them. This is one of the endpoints of the Goldenrod {{OBP|Underground Path|Goldenrod}}. Every time the player enters the area, the boxes will be moved in various places, allowing access to items that are on the ground in blocked rooms.

[[Image:Anime goldenrod.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Goldenrod City in the anime]]

===Goldenrod Game Corner===
{{main|Goldenrod Game Corner}}

Johto's installment of the Game Corner is located in Goldenrod across the main north-south road from the department store. The parlor features slot machines among other varieties of games. In {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Move tutor]] can be found standing outside the building on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

There are two games to play; the Slot machines and the Card Flip. One to three coins can be put in the [[slot machine]] each play. One coin will only count the center row across, two coins will count all three rows across, and three coins will count all three rows across as well as both diagonals. The reels stop spinning when the A button is pressed. The Card Flip game is exclusive to [[Generation II]]. The player can pick either a card or a group of cards, making it much like Roulette. The deck has 24, each one with a number between 1 and 6 and a picture of one of four Pokémon ({{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Oddish}}, or {{p|Poliwag}}). Bets can be placed by single card, by single column, by single row, by a pair of columns, or by a pair of rows.

===Johto Name Rater===
{{main|Name Rater}}

The Johto Name Rater is located in a house near the guard house separating Goldenrod from Route 35. Here, trainers can have the nicknames of their Pokémon rated and, if the Pokémon's ID number matches the trainer's ID number, the nickname can be changed.

If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it.

If the Pokémon he's judging was obtained via a trade, he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical [[Trainer ID number|trainer IDs and secret IDs]], he will allow name changes.

===Radio Tower===
{{main|Goldenrod Radio Tower}}

The Goldenrod Radio Tower, located at the west end of the main east-west path through the city, is the source of all [[PokéGear]] broadcasts in Johto. An antenna on top of the tower transmits three radio programs daily, with a fourth program being aired between 6 P.M. and 12 A.M. every night. The building has three studios spread over five floors. The radio tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] and [[Buena's Password]], a new radio show that debuted in {{game|Crystal}}.

In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the station has two studios, located on the fourth and fifth floors. A third studio is added in Pokémon Crystal on the second floor. In every version, the tower has a welcome center, as well as a computer linked to [[Bill's PC]] and the Trainer's personal computer, on the first floor and a small café on the second floor. The technical operations of the tower are handled by way of a network of computers on the third and fourth floors. The manager of the tower has an office on the fifth floor.

For a short time in [[Generation II]], the tower falls into the clutches of [[Team Rocket]], during which time none of the normal broadcasts are aired. Following the defeat of [[Pryce]] at the [[Mahogany Town]] Gym, it is necessary to purge the radio tower of Team Rocket in order to continue the storyline as a man selling [[Rage Candy Bar]]s will prevent access to [[Route 44]], the eastern path out of Mahogany, until the Radio Tower has been returned to normal.

===Magnet Train station===
{{main|Magnet Train}}
[[File:Magnet Train arrive HGSS.png|thumb|The Magnet Train as seen in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
Saffron City and Goldenrod City are linked by a railway used by the Magnet Train, a high-speed train that runs regularly between the two cities. The train follows no set schedule, making the Magnet Train an ideal way to travel between Kanto and Johto.

To board the train, a potential rider must have a Pass. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} of [[Saffron City]] has one (given to her as compensation for the fact that the station in Saffron is built where her house used to be), and is willing to give it up as a reward for returning her [[Poké Doll]] that {{ga|Red|a boy}} gave to her [[Generation I|three years before]].

Initially, the train is out of service as a minion of [[Team Rocket]] has stolen a valuable part from the [[Power Plant]] in Kanto. After defeating him in [[Cerulean City]], players can retrieve the part from the Cerulean City Gym and return it to the Power Plant. With the component back in place, the train will have the necessary power to run.

===Underground Path===
{{main|Underground Path (Goldenrod)}}

An underground path, often called "the Underground", runs from the southwestern side of the city to the northwestern area, with a branch leading from the Underground to the department store. A [[Haircut brothers|pair of groomers]] in the tunnel will groom Pokémon, increasing the [[happiness|friendship]] value for the groomed Pokémon, for a small fee.

This path contains a barber shop, [[Herb Shop|herb shop]], and a shop selling items which are simply resold for profit; however, the shops that are open at any given time depend on the [[days of the week|day]]. Trainers also litter this path, and there is an entrance to the basement of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]], initially occupied by [[Team Rocket]].

===Flower Shop===
Other locations of interest in Goldenrod include a woman who is able to determine the [[happiness]] of a Pokémon located in a house near the Bike Shop, and a flower shop in the northeast area of the city, where the key item {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Squirtbottle}} is located. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Gracidea (flower)|Gracidea]] can be obtained here with a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} first in the party, and [[mulch]] can also be bought after {{p|Sudowoodo}} has been cleared from {{rt|36}}.

===Global Terminal===
[[File:Global Terminal HGSS.png|100px|thumb|right|The Global Terminal]]
{{main|Global Terminal}}
The Global Terminal is the worldwide network over which players can interact in different ways via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], only seen in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In order to access the terminal, players must have the the first [[badge]] of Johto. The player's first Pokémon is returned to its [[Poké Ball]] before entering the building.

The Global Trade Station lets a player send and receive Pokémon on the worldwide network. If the player talks with the woman at the counter, she will direct them into a room in which they can either put up a Pokémon to be traded or trade a Pokémon they own for one that has been put up for trade.

Players can go to the second floor by using the green warp panels. There are two points of interest on this floor: Box Data, located on the western side and the northern set of green machines, and the Dress-Up Data, located just below the Box Data, in the south-eastern corner. Players can go here by using the pink warp panels. There is only one point of interest on this floor: the Battle Video Gallery located on the western side and the set of the pink machines.

==Goldenrod Gym==
{{main|Goldenrod Gym}}
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Gym.png|thumb|right|Goldenrod Gym in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
The Goldenrod Gym is the official [[gym]] of Goldenrod City. Its focus is on {{type2|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Whitney]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Plain}}. In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Goldenrod Gym is a maze of flowers and ornaments. The player must navigate their way around the Gym floor by going around the wall of pretty flowers first then enter the middle section. The Trainers in the Gym are hard to avoid, and most of the them must be battled in order to reach Whitney. Whitney will be located in the middle of the Gym where she can be challenged to earn the [[Plain Badge]]. When Whitney is defeated, she throws a temper tantrum and cries, but after drying her eyes and blowing her nose, she will get over her loss and give the player the badge.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, many aesthetic changes have been made to the Goldenrod Gym. The overall layout of the Gym remains the same; however, the outer part of the Gym has been raised to create a platform above the rest of the Gym. To reach Whitney, the player must navigate their way around the raised platform, battle Trainers, and go though an arch below one of the platforms to reach Whitney.

After [[Leader]] [[Whitney]] is defeated, she will give the player the [[Badge#Plain Badge|Plain Badge]], {{TM|45|Attract}}, and the ability to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle.

==Demographics==
Goldenrod City's population is about 77, making it by far the largest city in [[Johto]]. Its population is more than double the second-most-populous city in Johto, [[Violet City]]. This number also makes Goldenrod the biggest city in the Pokémon world, with 6 more than [[Lilycove City]], the second biggest. This high number is likely due to Goldenrod being the biggest city in the Pokémon world in terms of area and volume.

==Trivia==
* Goldenrod is the hometown of [[Bill]], the inventor of the Kanto and Johto [[Pokémon storage system]], as well as the rest of his family, who lives in a small house near the Underground's southern entrance. However, some of his family also lives in [[Fuchsia City]].
* In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Pokémon Center]] was much larger since it had machines to use the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]'s capabilities, and it was known as the [[Pokémon Communication Center]]. This feature was removed completely in the English versions of the game, and was replaced with the average [[Pokémon Center]] that was there in Gold and Silver.
* So far, Goldenrod City has the most buildings that are inaccessible to the player of all cities in the main series.
*The Goldenrod City is the only city bigger than four map squares.

==Name origin==
{{wp|Goldenrod}}s are a type of yellow-colored flowering plant. Kogane (黄金) means gold.

==In other languages==
* Spanish: '''Ciudad Trigal''' ('''Ciudad Camino Dorado''' in Latin American dub, only anime,but in [[EP255]] Ash calls like in English.)
* Italian: '''Fiordoropoli'''
* Brazilian Portuguese: '''Cidade de Quinhão Dourado''' (anime only)
* German: '''Dukatia City'''
