'''Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?''' (Japanese: '''ニドランのこいものがたり''' ''Nidoran's Love Story'') is the 100th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 10, 1999 and in the United States on April 22, 2000.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}} arrive in an old looking town where they meet a young {{pkmn|Trainer}} by the name of {{oi|Emily}} who is looking for her {{p|Nidoran♀|female Nidoran}} by the name of Maria with an orange ribbon around her neck. She asks if the gang have seen her. Ash looks up his [[Pokédex]] and gets a picture of {{p|Nidoran♂|the male one}} and then eventually the female one. She pleads with them to help her and they agree.

After the gang search for a little while, save for {{AP|Pikachu}} who finds some pink fruit. Ash and Misty eventually bump into [[Ralph]], another kid from the town who has a similar problem as before. He is looking for Tony, a male Nidoran with a blue and purple ribbon. Ash looks up the male Nidoran in his Pokédex and gets the data. Tracy eventually comes back with Emily asking if they have found Maria yet and Ralph calls her a kidnapper. Both Ralph and Emily eventually begin to argue over their two [[Pokémon]].

[[Tracey's Marill]] comes back and points to where both Nidoran are located. Ralph and Emily get overjoyed and literally run over Tracy to get to them. {{ashfr|The gang}} also follow where they are led to a flower garden where they find both Nidoran cuddling into each other. Tracy and Misty immediately realize what is going on but Ash as usual is clueless. Both Pokémon act very romantic but shortly after are taken away by their trainers. Both Ralph and Emily insult the others Nidoran.

Ash, Misty and Tracy go to a sandwich bar and talk to the owner who tells them Ralph and Emily’s story. They both knew each other since they were children and competed in many of the same contests and caught many of the same Pokémon; this led to their own two Nidoran Tony and Maria falling in love. However with Ralph and Emily hating each other so they could not be together.

The gang leave the sandwich bar at sunset when they spot a Nidoran running in front of them, revealed to be Tony and it vanishes into a group of buildings. Tony is seen calling up to a window when Maria comes out to see him. Misty realizes that Tony is “talking sweet talk” up to the window, Ash asks how she knows but Misty merely tells him that he is not mature enough to understand. Tony and Maria continue talking to each other until Emily appears at the window and dunks him at the window with a pale of water. Ralph eventually finds Tony soaking and takes him back to his house, which is revealed to be right next to Emily’s house. Misty vows to do something about the situation but Ash tell her that it is none of her business but Misty brushes him off. Ash then makes one of his remarks that makes Misty call him a big baby. Team Rocket as usual are in the bushes listening in on the situation and vow to capture the two.

Later during the night Misty is writing letters. One for Emily and one for Ralph from each other. As usual Misty and Ash end up arguing but they turn on Tracy when he says that {{s|PokéShipping|they should be together}} and they call him crazy. [[Jessie]] plots to have {{MTR}} convince Tony and Maria to come away with Team Rocket by tricking them into thinking that it is the only way to be together. Jessie also gives off a bit of her love life trials only to have Meowth call her a nut job to which Jessie boots him and [[James]]. Meowth goes first to Maria and then to Tony to try and convince them to come with him only to have it end in failure because as much as they love each other they would never abandon their trainers. With their first plan in failure Jessie comes up with another plan to which James and Meowth do not have much enthusiasm.

The gang are next seen waiting in the bushes to see the fruits of Misty’s plan. Emily, Ralph and their Nidoran come into the park where they both accuse each other of sending the other a stupid gift and letter. Misty sent Ralph a toy plane and Emily a bouquet of flowers however Ralph throws up on planes and Emily being allergic to Misty’s flowers. Both start fighting once again. They are interrupted however when Team Rocket show up, cross-dressing once again this time as a bride and groom who are newly married. They soon reveal themselves and grab Tony and Maria before saying their motto on top of a giant wedding cake. Inside the cake they reveal their balloon and make their escape. Misty tells Emily and Ralph that it was their fault that their Pokémon were stolen. However Ash and Tracy notice some cans that fell from Team Rocket’s balloon and they follow them.

Team Rocket attempt to dress up Maria and Tony despite their squirming only to have the gang find them thanks to the cans. Tony and Maria make their escape but Jessie commands {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to attack. Ralph and Emily command them to use their {{m|tackle}} attack which knocks Arbok back. James joins in and calls out {{TP|James|Victreebel}} who eats Jessie’s head this time. Maria uses {{m|Scratch}} on Arbok who in retaliation attacks Tony who is knocked back. The battle ensues equal sided until Victreebel traps Tony and Maria rescues him. Both Ralph and Emily find out that both Pokémon are fighting for one another. Both Nidoran beat back Arbok and Victreebel by using double attacks like {{m|Double Kick}}. Ralph and Emily say their attack names together this time without minding each other.

Team Rocket eventually try to make their escape and catch the Nidoran by use of one of their many giant vacuums but it goes amiss when Pikachu uses a branch to get to their balloon but avoid being blown in. It uses its {{m|Thunderbolt}} and destroys the vacuum. Misty calls out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} who bursts {{TP|Team Rocket|Team Rocket’s balloon|mechas}} and they go blasting off once again. Misty gets on to Ralph and Emily to make them see sense in their actions. Both of them finally listen and decide what’s best for their Pokémon. Tony and Maria finally kiss and in doing so [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidorino}}. Tracy sketches it but also wonders what made them evolve their battle of their kiss but Misty hits him with his drawing. Ash asks if people change with their kiss. Misty says back to him that they should find out for themselves.

At the end Team rocket are seen being rung with Arbok and Victreebel on the church bells.

== Trivia ==
* The plot for this episode is based on {{wp|William Shakespeare}}'s ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}''. Likewise, this episode's dub title is a reference to a well-known line in the play, "{{tt|Wherefore|Why}} {{tt|art|are}} {{tt|thou|you}} Romeo?"
* The names of the two Nidoran, Tony and Maria, are taken from the musical ''{{wp|West Side Story}}'' which is also based on Romeo and Juliet.
* This episode mentions that Ralph and Emily like to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, though it is unknown if these contests are the same as those introduced later on in the games.
* This is the 100th episode of the entire [[Pokémon anime]], if ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' are NOT counted as episodes.
* When Jessie is talking about matters of the heart, her fantasy/flashback portrays her similarly to [[wp:Scarlett O'Hara|Scarlett O'Hara]] from the movie ''[[wp:Gone with the Wind (film)|Gone with the Wind]]''.
* At the end of the episode, Team Rocket break the [[fourth wall]], replying to the Narrator's comment.
* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]: {{p|Kabuto}}. In the end, Oak picks up a Kabuto fossil, but accidentally drops it on his own foot.
* [[Pokémon senryū]] summary: At the bottom of the ocean, Kabuto, lies resting.
* When Ash was viewing the [[Pokédex]] entries of Maria and Tony, the newly evolved Nidorina and Nidorino, respectively, the picture in the Pokédex was of them with the accessories put on by their trainers, instead of the usual Sugimori art.
* This is the first time Pokémon Contests are mentioned in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* This is the first and only time two species of Pokémon are the answers to [[Who's That Pokémon?]]
* The Pokémon logo of the Pokémon Center ressembles Nintendo logo.
=== Errors ===
* In the beginning of the episode, there is a dubbing error in which the narrator says Ash defeated Prima in the previous episode. In reality, Ash was actually defeated by Prima and not the other way around.

Talk:Rhyperior (Pokémon)

2009-02-20T13:56:17Z

GigaMetroid99: /* Last Rock-type? */

Once we figure out how Dosydon's new trait effects super effective damage, we ough to make a note with the correct variables. For now, all that's known is that "super effective damage is lessened" with it's "Hard Rock" trait. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 01:29, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

== Hard Rock ==

I don't believe that Hard Rock lowers damage by half i think its only 33% --[[User:DSDark|DSDark]] 02:00, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

== Rhyperior in the anime ==

Obviously Rhyperior is a strong Pokémon, I guess it will have position in the anime. Perhaps being one of Ash/Brock/Paul's (probably Ash's) Pokémon.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 02:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
:I doubt that Ash will get one. He rarely gets a fully evolved Pokémon unless it's one of the starters. And Brock never gets Pokémon. I say Paul is the most likely canidate. --[[Image:Ani048MS.gif]]'''[[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]]'''[[Image:Ani183MS.gif]]'''[[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]]'''[[Image:Ani123MS.gif]] 09:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
::I ''hope'' Brock gets one. It'd be a real upturn for him to get two Rock-types. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 10:30, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I think he would directly catch it as a Rhyperior like Noctowl.It would help him so much in the Sinnoh League battles like Snorlax, Sceptile and Charizard.And it will be Ash's first rock-type.It is better to train different types Pokémon in order to become a Pokémon master!-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 02:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
:::It'd be caught as a Rhydon, at the very least, likely near the northern entrance to Mt. Coronet. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 10:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

::::I don't think a Rhyperior is in Ash's future. For starters, the only time Ash ever caught a Pokémon that can reach a third stage as a third stage, it was on Ash's team for [[Casey's Beedrill|all of two minutes]]. Additionally, odds are pointing to {{p|Riolu}} as being Ash's sixth Pokémon and his main Fighting-type (yes, I do see {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}} evolving, but it will be continued to be used mainly as a Fire-type), which means we'd have to rob him of one of his traditional mainstay types, most likely {{TP|Ash|Turtwig}}, to get a Rhyhorn or Rhydon onto Ash's team.

::::And if Ash were to get rid of Turtwig, odds are he'd replace it with another Grass-type such as {{p|Cherubi}} (which I'd see going to [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] instead if she doesn't get a {{p|Chikorita}}), {{p|Tangela}}, or {{p|Snover}}. {{p|Budew}}'s out of the picture since Nando has a {{TP|Nando|Roselia}}, {{p|Carnivine}} is out of the picture since James has [[James's Carnivine|one]], and I highly doubt Ash would catch a Grass-form {{p|Wormadam}} directly. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Can anyone imagine a huge drilling machine like Rhyperior with 5 small and cute Pokémon???? [[Image:Ani448MS.gif]][[User:Jmath|'''Jmath''']][[Image:Ani447MS.gif]][[User talk:Jmath|'''Talk''']][[Image:Ani448MS.gif]] 18:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
:Nope. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

It's time for Ash to win a league, the Sinnoh League.He'd no longer need some small and cute Pokémon.It'd be the best for him to have Floatzel, Staraptor, Infernape, Torterra, Pikachu and Rhyperior or some strong Pokémon that fit in his team.The thing that is mentioned by Lucian in [[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]] cannot be proved if Ash cannot win the Sinnoh League.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 14:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, but Ash also talked with Drake and how to win. He still never fought the Hoenn Elite 4. The Elite 4 don't seem to be an actualy challenge in the anime, so much as just the people considered the 4 strongest.
:Forget Rhyperior for Ash's sixth Pokémon if he faces the Sinnoh Elite 4. He should get a Riolu that eventually eveolves into a Lucario. He's already done things with Aura and with a Lucario, so he should get one in Sinnoh. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:40, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

== Not Worth Noting ==

"Similar to {{p|Magmortar}}, Rhyperior can shoot things from its arms."

That's pretty much a "who cares" detail. It's already mentioned in the "Special Abilities" sections. [[User:SharKing|'''Shar''']]'''K'''[[User Talk:SharKing|'''ing''']]15:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

== Last Rock-type? ==

Rhyperior isn't the last rock type in the National Dex. Probopass is. Should that note in Trivia be deleted? [[User:GigaMetroid99|GigaMetroid99]] 13:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Why is the answer Psychic? Ghost isn't weak to Psychic, but vice versa. Is this an error that occurs within the game, or did someone make a mistake when writing it? If the former, should it be noted that it is, in fact, not true? [[User:GigaMetroid99|GigaMetroid99]] 12:09, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Ok, so what kind of crab is it based on? There's two spellings given for it. And the Wiki article link leads to a 'Wikipedia does not have an article with this name' page--BJG

Sorry. Fixed. -[[User:Argy|Argy]]

I think ''Heike'' is japanese for crayfish.

: 平家蟹【へいけがに】 (n) [[wp:Heikegani|Heikegani]], Heike crab
Not quite... ''Heike'' is Japanese for ''[[wp:Taira|Taira]] family''. More info on the link between this and the crab on the linked-to article. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 03:59, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It seems to be a cross between a crayfish and a lobster to me...--BJG

== Corfish? ==

I found out today that [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,592-1519825,00.html "corfish" is an actual word]. But I can't work out what it means, or how Corphish may be related to it. (Corpshish doesn't look like a codfish, or any kind of fish, after all...)

== Name origin ==

Holy fudge... the Name Origin section is a little large. Could someone break it down a little? [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ [[Image:281MS.gif]] 19:48, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

== Hey hey! ==

In Mystery Dungeon: Darkness and Time, one of the guild members is a Corphish that always says "Hey hey!" Well, I noticed that the first syllable of its Japanese name is hei, pronounced like hey. In this clip, around 30 seconds, you can clearly hear Ash's Corphish shout "Hei hei!", which sounds like "Hey hey!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqF93w2iLmA&feature=channel_page

Coincidence?

Talk:Leaf (game)

2008-12-17T01:41:07Z

GigaMetroid99: /* Blue artwork? */

So who made up that name? --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 17:22, 2 February 2006 (CST)

:I want to know that too. Following the trend that the 1st and 2nd gen games set, her name should be Green, or Blue in the Japanese version. I'm guessing someone just chose one of the optional names from FRLG and gave it to her when they made the article. There's no real basis for her name being "Leaf", so shouldn't we go by precedence, as was done with Gold, Silver and Kris, and just call her Green?. -Shaddow Boy

::For an English Language Version, Green is accurate, however [[Green (game)]] already directs to Blue, does it not?--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 00:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

:Internal game data. There is a trainer, presumably used for debugging, with the sprite of the male player, and another trainer with the sprite of the female player. The male one is named Red, but the female is named Leaf for some strange reason. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 09:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
::English version or Japanese? --WikidSmaht 08:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Both. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:53, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
::::This isn't really a good habit to get into. If we start taking unused data as official canon, then Professor Oak started with Squirtle, the Safari Zone had no Pokemon in it 3 years after Red and Blue, and that the Lake of Rage is still a town. It just doesn't make sense. Fire Red and Leaf Green have officially fixed Green's (male rival's), name to that of the original, leaving lone Blue, the third version gal, without a truly official name. While logic would suggest we should call her Blue due to the Manga as well as Blue being the color generation's third game, we are stuck basing her name on what can only be called speculation. Unused Data =/= Fact. [[User:Fishman|Fishman]] 15:43, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Well we can't call her Blue, because [[Blue (game)]] is the rival. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 01:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
:If only GSDS would become reality, we'd know for sure, since then we'd have to find out what happened to her as well as Red. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 09:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
::We don't need another sequel. Besides her name, the answers are right here in front of us. The [[Blue (game)]] has officially been renamed as Green. All we have to do with the old article is point out that his English name used to be Blue, and was later changed back into Green. [[User:Fishman|Fishman]] 01:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Her name can't be "Green" because is the rival's name in the games already [[User:Haruka uzumaki|Haruka uzumaki]] 16:06, 24 September 2007
: Her name isn't "Green". It's "Blue". [[User:Fishman|Fishman]] 15:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Okay, that manga information should definitely be in a separate article. But what series is it referring to? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 05:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

== RBG picture ==

So, supposedly she's based off of a picture from an old guidebook. Does anybody have an copy of this picture? I'm curious to see it.

== Blue artwork? ==

I found an image that appears to be the artwork described in the article. Is this it? [http://www.sailorteam.com/fakecard/starters/rgb.jpg]

It doesn't show her face, unfortunately. [[User:GigaMetroid99|GigaMetroid99]] 02:43, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:We're not sure it's her but she does resemble Blue (Green in the U.S)--[[Santa Claus|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチュウ!''']] 02:46, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
::I was just wondering if that was the picture that the article described with:

''Leaf was supposed to be in the original Red and Green versions, due to the fact that on Nintendo's Official guidebook, it depicted a female trainer with long brown hair, a black dress, white gloves and short black boots, alongside the male protagonist and the rival. It is believed she was supposed to be in the game, but was left out for some reason.''

If that's the right image, it should be added to the article to show viewers how she would have looked.[[User:GigaMetroid99|GigaMetroid99]] 01:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

'''Floatzel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フローゼル''' ''Flowsel'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Buizel}} at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Floatzel appears to be based off of an otter or weasel, with two pointed blue fins on its arms and two tails, as with its pre-evolution, Buizel. The yellow flotation device it had as a Buizel appears to have grown and now functions as a boat. It gives the impression of a swimmer with a towel draped around its shoulders. If Floatzel laid on its back, the structure round its neck could also be interpreted as a sort of inflatable dinghy using its tails much like its pre-evolution, as a propeller and its fins as oars. These small fins on Buizel's forelimbs grown into full-fledge fins that are used for a razor wind attack.

====Gender differences====
From back view, the males have two white spots and the females only have one.

====Special abilities====
Floatzel's abilities are basically the same as Buizel's, only stronger. Floatzel can now attack with {{m|Crunch}} and {{m|Ice Fang}}. As a fully evolved Pokémon, it can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. Its floatation sac can inflate to look like a {{wp|life vest}}, in a similar way Buizel can expand its sac, as seen in [[DP083]].

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:WakeFloatzel.jpg|thumb|right|[[Crasher Wake]]'s {{TP|Crasher Wake|Floatzel}}]]
Floatzel made its debut in [[DP071]]. {{OBP|Hajime|Pokémon Ranger}} used his Capture Styler on a wild Floatzel so he could use it to escape from a group of {{p|Sharpedo}} that belonged to [[J|Hunter J]]'s Henchmen.

[[Crasher Wake]] uses a {{TP|Crasher Wake|Floatzel}} against [[Ash's Buizel]] in [[DP083]].

==Trivia==
*Floatzel is tied with {{p|Starmie}} for fastest Water-type Pokémon with the base speed of 115.
*Although it can stand on its hind legs, Floatzel is unable to learn Drain Punch. However, it can learn Brick Break and Focus Punch, both of them hand-related techniques.
*Despite the fact that both it and its pre-evolution {{p|Buizel}} are {{type2|Water}}s and have two tails (let alone just one), neither can learn {{m|Aqua Tail}}, even through breeding. Though, now that Platinum is released, Floatzel can learn it from the [[move tutor]].
*In {{game|Platinum}}, Floatzel's sprite has the same pose as [[Crasher Wake|one of the Trainers who uses it]].
*When Floatzel's maximum speed is combined with its ability, Swift Swim, it has the highest speed among all Pokémon, including Speed {{p|Deoxys}}.
===Origin===
Floatzel is based off an {{wp|otter}}, which is in the same family as weasels.

====Name origin====
Floatzel's name comes from the words ''float'' and ''{{wp|weasel}}''.
Its Japanese name may come from the English words ''flow'' or ''float'' and ''weasel''. Its German name, Bojelin, comes from ''{{tt|Boje|buoy}}'' and ''{{tt|Hermelin|stoat}}''. Its French name, Musteflott, comes from ''{{tt|mustélidé|mustelidae}}'' and ''{{tt|flotter|to float}}''. Korean name is a slight variation of its Japanese name, made easier for Koreans to pronounce.

'''Super Smash Bros. Melee''' is a fighting game for the Nintendo [[GameCube]] and the sequel to the [[Nintendo 64]] title [[Super Smash Bros.]] It, like its predecessor, pits [[Nintendo]]'s many mascots against one another, and this time includes four Pokémon as playable characters, as opposed to the two featured in the previous game. Only {{p|Pikachu}} is available at the start, but eventually {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}} can be unlocked.
==Playable Pokémon==
===Pikachu===
Pikachu is a very fast character and pretty easy to knock of the stage due to his light weight. Pikachu taunts by saying: "Pika, Pika" and will wave at the players.
=====Ground Attacks=====
*A: {{m|Headbutt}}
*A (while dashing): Running Headbutt
*Up+A: Tail Smack
*Left or Right+A: Pika Kick
*Down+A: Tail Sweep
=====Smash Attacks=====
*Smash Up+A: Tail Somersault
*Smash Left or Right+A: {{m|Thundershock}}
*Smash Down+A: Electric Flower

=====Air Attacks=====
*A: Pika Roll
*Up+A: Tail Chop
*Foward+A: Electric Drill
*Backward+A: Glider
*Down+A: Electric Screw
=====B-Attacks=====
[[Image:Pikachu Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Pikachu]]
*'''B: Thunder Jolt'''
A ball of electricity will slinky across a level until it hits something or shorts out. When in the air, a small electric ball will appear and will slinky when it hits the ground.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Quick Attack}}'''
Pikachu will move blindingly fast from one point to another, up to two times. This attack will also slightly damage an enemy if Pikachu passes through one. This is Pikachu's recovery move and after executing it, Pikachu cannot do anything until he reaches the ground or grabs a ledge.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Thunder}}'''
Pikachu summons a cloud that will strike a thunderbolt down towards the ground. The thunderbolt cannot pass through any terrain objects or floors. The thunderbolt will damage any enemies in the air while on its way down. If the thunderbolt strikes Pikachu, any enemies near him will take the most damage.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Skull Bash}}'''
Pikachu will charge up and rocket sideways. Depending on how long the B button is held, Pikachu can fly farther and hit harder. This is not considered a recovery move, so Pikachu can use it again and again while in the air.

=====Grab/Throw Attacks=====
To grab an opponent, use ''Z'' or ''R+A''. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.
*A or Z: Electric Shock
*Forward: Electrocution
*Backward: {{m|Submission}}
*Up: Electric Skull
*Down: Electric Slam

===Pichu===
[[Image:Pichu Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Pichu]]
Pichu's attacks are identical to Pikachu's, although Pichu damages itself while using attacks that use electricity. Pichu is really fast, actually one of the fastest, but is so light and small; it's very easy to send it flying. Pichu taunts by saying "Pichu!" and doing a little jiggle on the floor, either on its back or hopping on one foot.
=====Ground Attacks=====
*A: Generic attack
*A (while dashing): Headbutt
*Up+A: Tail Hit
*Side+A: Small Kick
*Down+A: Tail Sweep
=====Smash Attacks=====
*Smash Up+A: Head Slam
*Smash Left or Right+A: Sizzle {{m|Thundershock}} (Pichu will damage itself when using this move)
*Smash Down+A: Head Sweep
=====Air Attacks=====
*A: Pichu Roll
*Up+A: Tail Chop
*Forward+A: Electric Drill (Pichu will damage itself when using this move)
*Backward+A: Glider
*Down+A: Electric Screw (Pichu will damage itself when using this move)
=====B-Attacks=====
*'''B: Thunder Jolt'''
Pichu will damage itself and release an electrical ball that will arc across the ground until it dissipates or hits something.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Quick Attack}}'''
Like Pikachu, Pichu will zip really fast from one point to another up to two times. Unlike Pikachu however, Pichu will not damage anyone if it passes through an enemy while executing this, but instead will damage itself. 1% for the first traversion, then 3% for the next. This is Pichu's third jump.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Thunder}}'''
Pichu will summon a cloud to strike a lightning bolt down towards the ground. Pichu will damage itself if the bolt strikes Pichu. Unlike Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}}, this bolt travels slightly slower and as such, when hitting an enemy, it will shock them up to 4 times, dealing accumulative damage.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Skull Bash}}'''
Depending on how long you hold B, Pichu will charge up and zoom across to hit anyone in the way. Pichu can hold this charge for slightly longer than Pikachu and is much stronger when fully charged. Pichu will damage itself when using this move.

=====Grab/Throw Attacks=====
To grab an opponent, use Z or R+A, then to attack them, press A or Z again or tilt the control stick in one direction. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.

*A or Z: Shock
*Forward: Electrocution
*Backward: {{m|Submission}}
*Up: Electric Skull
*Down: Slam

===Mewtwo===
[[Image:Mewtwo Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Mewtwo]]
Despite being a legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo is easily knocked around. This is mainly due to the fact Mewtwo is always floating. Mewtwo will never run or dash across the ground, but hover and slide across. Mewtwo has the second highest jump in the game, after Falco. Mewtwo taunts by spinning around and laughing evilly.
=====Ground Attacks=====
*A: Dark Flash
*A A: Dark Flame
*A (while Dashing): Torch
*Up+A: Flip
*Side+A: {{m|Tail Whip}}
*Down+A: Tail Sweep
=====Smash Attacks=====
*Smash Up+A: Galaxy Force
*Smash Left or Right+A: Shadow Blast
*Smash Down+A: Shadow Bomb
=====Air Attacks=====
*A: Body Spark
*Up+A: Somersault Tail Hit
*Foward+A: Shadow Scratch
*Backward+A: Tail Flick
*Down+A: Meteor Kick (a Meteor Smash)
=====B-Attacks=====
*'''B: {{m|Shadow Ball}}'''
Press B once to cause Mewtwo to start charging. If he is hit while charging, he will lose the charge, but if he has charged long enough, and is hit, the charge for the Shadow Ball will still remain. Tilting the control stick left or right will cause Mewtwo to dodge in that direction and cease charging, preserving the Shadow Ball. Pressing R or L while charging will cease the charging without Mewtwo dodging. Mewtwo's Shadow Ball can also be left charging indefinitely and will damage anyone if they come into physical contact with the ball. While throwing it, Mewtwo will recoil, significantly if he is in the air. The ball, when thrown, will travel along a zig-zag jagged path until it hits something or dissipates. If the Shadow Ball hits a terrain object, it will erupt causing a small explosion that will cause splash damage to anyone nearby.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Teleport}}'''
Mewtwo teleports once in the direction of your choice. Mewtwo is invulnerable to damage while teleporting, but can still be grabbed. Teleport can't penetrate terrain objects or impenetrable floors.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Disable}}'''
Short range attack that temporary disables the opponent, rendering it dizzy and unable to move. The amount of time the opponent is dazed depends on its current damage. If you use this move again when the opponent is already disabled, it will flick the enemy up in the air as if you punched it. If you use this move in the air (successfully) the enemy will immediately start to freefall until it hits the ground.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Confusion}}'''
The opponent is flipped around in the air, causing damage. Unlike other moves this move does not degrade in damage if used continuously. If used with the right timing, this attack will also reflect projectiles.

=====Grab/Throw Attacks=====
To grab an opponent, use Z or R+A, then to attack them, press A or Z again or tilt the control stick in one direction. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.
*A or Z: Shock
*Forward: Barrage
*Backward: {{m|Psychic}} - Reverse Throw
*Up: {{m|Psychic}} - Spiral Throw
*Down: {{m|Body Slam}}

===Jigglypuff===
[[Image:Jigglypuff Melee.jpg|right|thumb|Jigglypuff (Purin)]]
Jigglypuff is bouncy, has average speed, and is one of the lightest characters in the game. Like Kirby, she is able to fly back onto the stage, but unlike Kirby, after five jumps, she doesn't have an Up+B recovery move. She taunts by spinning on one foot and winking at the camera while calling out her name.
=====Ground Attacks=====
*A: Punch
*A A: One-two Punch
*A (while Dashing): {{m|Tackle}}
*Up+A: Back Kick
*Side+A: Roundhouse Kick
*Down+A: {{m|Low Kick}}
=====Smash Attacks=====
*Smash Up+A: Headbutt
*Smash Left or Right+A: {{m|Jump Kick}}
*Smash Down+A: Split Kick
=====Air Attacks=====
*A: Body Spark
*Up+A: Overhead Punch
*Foward+A: Drop Kick
*Backward+A: Back Kick
*Down+A: Spinning Drop Kick
=====B-Attacks=====
*'''B: {{m|Rollout}}'''
Hold down B to charge up speed and power. Jigglypuff spins in place (always facing the camera), and after letting go of B, rolls forward, hitting any opponent and damaging any container, stage hazard, etc. in its path. Tapping the control stick in the opposite direction will stop Jigglypuff, and allow you to reverse directions. If the attack ends with Jigglypuff in the air, you won't be able to recover.
*'''Up+B: {{m|Sing}}'''
Jigglypuff sings, lulling enemies close by to sleep. The opponent's damage determines how long they'll stay asleep. Not recommended on opponents with little damage, as they can fall asleep ''and recover'' in the time it takes Jigglypuff to stop singing.
*'''Down+B: {{m|Rest}}'''
Very short range attack that inflicts 20-30% damage and sends opponents flying. Good for easy KOs if the enemy's damage is high enough, but Jigglypuff must make direct contact with the opponent. Also, the move will only work the second the player hits Down+B; it takes a few seconds for her to recover, leaving Jigglypuff wide open.
*'''Side+B: {{m|Pound}}'''
Jigglypuff lashes out with her arm, inflicting 10-15% damage and popping the enemy straight up into the air. Good for setting up juggles, and also works well as a recovery move once a player has expended all of her jumps.

=====Grab/Throw Attacks=====
To grab an opponent, use Z or R+A, then to attack them, press A or Z again or tilt the control stick in one direction. These are attacks executed only when holding an opponent using the aforementioned move.
*A or Z: Right hook
*Forward: Quick Inflate
*Backward: Back Suplex
*Up: Pop-Up
*Down: Roll Around

==Poké Ball Pokémon==

One of the items that can be picked up in Super Smash Bros. Melee is the [[Poké Ball]]; with it numerous Pokémon can be summoned to damage enemies. These Pokémon and their effects in the game are listed below:

<table>
<tr>
<td width=100>{{p|Venusaur}}</td>
<td>Venusaur causes an {{m|Earthquake}} around him that causes all characters touching the ground to go flying.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Charizard}}</td>
<td>Similar to the fire flower, this Pokémon uses the {{m|Flamethrower}} attack when released. He alternates between shooting it left and right.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Blastoise}}</td>
<td>This Pokémon uses the {{m|Hydro Pump}} attack when it comes out. Unlike the previous game, Blastoise will be pushed backward a little with each blast, meaning it can fall off if summoned with its back too close to the edge.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Clefairy}}</td>
<td>Uses {{m|Metronome}} to use a random attack like Togepi, but typically does a lot more damage. These moves are {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Explosion}}, or {{m|Fire Spin}}.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Electrode}}</td>
<td>Electrode uses {{m|Explosion}} after 3 seconds. You can throw him in the last second or so if you're quick enough.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Weezing}}</td>
<td>Emits {{m|Poison Gas}} and juggles any person that comes in close contact.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Chansey}}</td>
<td>Uses {{m|Softboiled}} to releases eggs that may contain additional items or heal a small amount of damage.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Goldeen}}</td>
<td>No effect, just {{m|Splash}}es around. <td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Staryu}}</td>
<td>Chases after the nearest opponent, then locks itself into position and shoots with {{m|Swift}}.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Snorlax}}</td>
<td>Flies up into the air and descends over a large area of the screen using {{m|Body Slam}}. Any character who comes in contact with Snorlax in either direction is sent flying.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{{p|Articuno}}</td>
<td>Uses the {{m|Blizzard}} attack. Anyone in the attack range when Articuno unleases this attack will be frozen for a time depending on how damaged they are.</td>
</tr>

'''Cyndaquil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ヒノアラシ ''Hinoarashi'') is a {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon. Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] available at the beginning of the [[Generation II]] games. It is also available in [[Pokémon Emerald]] as an award for catching the first 200 Pokémon in the [[Hoenn]] Pokédex.

Cyndaquil comes with the [[Ability]] {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Cyndaquil evolves into {{p|Quilava}} starting at Level 14, then into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at Level 36.

=Biology=
Cyndaquil is a shy and timid Pokémon. It lives and groups and tend to hide in dangerous situations. Most Cyndaquil, like [[Ash's Cyndaquil|Ash's]], are inexperienced at start and don't know its strength and weaknesses.
==Physiology==
Its head is covered in a bluish top and a milky bottom. It has eyes that resemble those of Brock's. It has 4 spots where the flames erupt. It also has no nails/claws on its front paws and a single nail on its back feet.
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself by using the fire on its back. The fire grows more powerful as the Cyndaquil gets angrier or more defensive.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Cyndaquil can adapt to many habitats, however, most are found in the care of [[Trainer]]s, having been their [[starter Pokémon]]. Being a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, they prefer hotter areas.

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

=In the anime=
[[Image:0309.jpg|thumb|Ash's Cyndaquil]]Cyndaquil first appeared in the anime in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'' as one of the three possible starters in [[Professor Elm]]'s lab.

[[Ash Ketchum]] captured a [[Ash's Cyndaquil|Cyndaquil]] in ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''. During its early days on Ash's team, Cyndaquil was lazy and easily tired-out (e.g. waiting a while for the flames on its back to ignite so it could use {{type2|Fire}} attacks). Eventually, [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] got over its shortcomings. Ash left his Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his [[Johto]] [[Party|team]], (save for {{p|Pikachu}}) at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab when he set out for [[Hoenn]].

[[Jimmy (Johto)|Jimmy]] chose Cyndaquil as his [[starter Pokémon]]. By ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', it had become a [[Jimmy's Typhlosion|Typhlosion]].

[[Pike Queen Lucy]] has a pet Cyndaquil.

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon Adventures]] (aka Pokémon Special) {{Special|Gold}} took the Cyndaquil from [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to try to catch the thief {{Special|Silver}}. He named the Cyndaquil "Explotaro" for the explosive fire from its back.

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

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Cyndaquil will aim a {{M|Flamethrower}} diagonally towards the ground in one direction. It is one of the easiest Pokémon to avoid, however. It can also be knocked off the screen.

====Trophy information====
Cyndaquil frighten easily, so they're often found curled up in balls. When threatened, they flare the flames on their backs to drive off enemies. Cyndaquil was one of the three Pokémon that trainers could choose from at the beginning of Pokémon Silver, Gold, and Crystal. No one knows if their eyes are open.

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Hitting Cyndaquil will knock it back. After a few hits, Cyndaquil will knocked into the Egg stand and the flame on its back will start heating the egg. Hitting Cyndaquil one more time will cause the egg to hatch and the player will have a chance to catch the newly hatched Pokémon.

==Origin==
Its appearance is based on the [[wp:echidna|echidna]].
===Name origin===
Cyndaquil's name is a combination of the words ''cinder'', meaning ashes, and ''quill'', referring to needlelike hairs. ''Hinoarashi'' could be taken to mean 火の嵐, storm of fire, but it is likely to also be based on 山荒 ''yama-arashi'', [[wp:porcupine|porcupine]].

[[Image:Sinnoh_Region.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Bird's eye-view of the Sinnoh Region]]
The '''Sinnoh region''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ地方''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a region in the Pokémon world, the setting of the [[Generation IV]] games [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]. It is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of [[wp:Hokkaido|Hokkaido]], and according to the [[anime]], the Sinnoh region is located north of the [[Kanto]] region.

==Geography==
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. The region also features full-land geography, with only five [[sea route]]s. Despite this lack of sea routes, a direct opposite of the [[Hoenn]] region, the Sinnoh region 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 that are home to the members of [[lake trio|one of the legendary trios of Sinnoh]]. Near Lake Valor, as well, there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]], the home of a fourth [[legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Giratina}}.

Due to its large size, the main continent 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 [[wp:regional speciation|regional 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 [[Pokémon Gym]]s, and [[Jubilife City]], at the heart of the area, is the most technologically advanced city in the region.

Sinnoh's eastern half is home, however, 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 trainers.

Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mt. Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area, likely due to the harsh snows that blow down from the mountain's peak, making the area not only very cold, but as well making a trip northward very perilous. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint as well 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 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 [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]] of Sinnoh is located, the only access to which is by way of {{rt|223}}. It is here where Sinnoh's [[Victory Road (Sinnoh)|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 [[Defog (move)|foggy]] area of Victory Road to {{rt|224}}, which is said to be a miniature version of Sinnoh. North from Route 224, through a special event, of course, leads the [[Seabreak Path]] to {{p|Shaymin}}'s domain, the [[Flower Paradise]].

===Routes===

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 [[Route 201|201]] to [[Route 230|230]]. Compared to previous generations, there aren't many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. The idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]] was also brought ahead from [[Generation III]]. For the first time ever in a Pokémon game, 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 [[Route 212]], which has two limbs of equal length. While Hoenn's [[Route 114]] did this on the [[Game Boy Advance]], it was not to this scale, so one may presume that the GBA was limited in this sense.

==League==

The Sinnoh League is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the Sinnoh region. The [[Elite Four]] and the [[Champion]] are located at the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Sinnoh Pokémon League]]

==Trivia==
*Sinnoh's [[Gym Leader]]s each use a type that has previously been seen in another region's Gym. Four of them were first seen in [[Kanto]], in fact, they are the same types as the first four Gyms of Kanto, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Grass}}. Similarly, the other four were first seen in [[Johto]], and are the same as the fourth through seventh Gyms of that region, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Ice}}.

*If one were draw lines to connect the three lakes of Sinnoh, they form a big triangle. [[Mt. Coronet]] lies in the middle of the triangle. This is the same formation that {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} make on the top of [[Spear Pillar]] with {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in the middle. It is also the same formation as the painting in the shrine in the middle of [[Celestic Town]].

Pewter Museum of Science

2008-01-19T01:00:26Z

GigaMetroid99:

The '''Pewter Museum of Science''' is one of [[Pewter City]]'s main attractions. Admission is {{PDollar}}50 for a child's ticket.

Exhibits include skeletons of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}}, a model of a [[wp:Space Shuttle|Space Shuttle]], and a [[Moon Stone]] that fell onto [[Mt. Moon]] in the form of a meteorite. The player can view a larger picture of the fossils by "talking" to the displays. In Red, Blue, and Yellow Versions, the Aerodactyl and Kabutops zoomed-in fossil sprites are sometimes seen as [[glitch]]es.

Once the ability to use {{m|Cut}} out of battle is gained, players can sneak into the back of the museum and acquire the [[Old Amber]] from the scientists there; this will allow them to have a revived {{p|Aerodactyl}} at a later point.

In Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen, there's also a [[Move Tutor]] there who will teach {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, an old man on the second floor of the museum states, "July 20, 1969! Humankind first set foot on the moon that day. I bought a color TV just so I could watch that news." Considering that July 20, 1969 was the date that real life humans landed on the moon, this quote suggests that the Pokémon games take place on planet Earth, and perhaps even at a contemporary time period.

In [[Generation II]] the museum is closed due to renovations.

In the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, [[Brock]] works as a security guard at the museum. It was there that he somehow managed to revive and acquire a {{p|Kabuto}} that later evolved into Kabutops. Later, however, it is burned down by two {{p|Magmar}}.

In the anime, [[Seymour]] is a researcher from the museum, but this isn't mentioned in the dub.
