Hi, I just wanted to make an account on Bulbapedia because I use it a lot and just wanted to contribute to it more! I think Bulbapedia is awesome and I'm so glad its exists. Its the best [[Pokémon]] info site on the internet.

note: I know how to do some of the so called "fancy stuff" but not much so what I try to do to help is start character of the day articles and add random stuff to articles that have a lack of it. I also partake in many discussions just to voice my opinion and here what others have to think. But mainly I just press the random article button and try to find at least one thing to fix in each article.

==My First Pokemon Experience==
The first time I had ever heard of Pokemon or seen anything about it, was one morning when I was either in Kindergarten, so in late 1999. I woke up one day and went down stairs, and turned on the TV, and there was this strange show on, called pokemon. It was episode called The problem with Paras. I had no idea what it was and I thought it was pretty cool. so then sometime a little after that, me and my dad and sister went to some store (idk maybe Walmart) and bought a [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Wigglytuff]] figure package, but I didnt know what it was at the time I just thought it was cool. Then I remember I used to start getting the cards but I didnt have any card plastic sheets so I had to use a small photo album. One distinct memory for some is looking at a squitle card while I was sitting on the bottom of my stairs. Since then, I have watched the anime on and off, only really missing the mid-late Hoenn saga. I have thousands upon thousands of cards, as well as about 300 figures. I also have the odds and ends of other random pokemon things that have piled up... and it made me happy when they made the mac 'n' cheese again... I kind of missed those haha...

History of Pokémon

Hey1031: added the word 'the' in a sentence.

:''This article is about the history of the Pokémon media franchise. For other uses of "history", see [[History]].''
----
[[Image:Satoshitajiri.jpg|right|frame|Satoshi Tajiri]]The '''history of the Pokémon media franchise''' spans over a decade from when work began officially on the first game to now, and has roots even older. It started simply enough as a hobby of [[Satoshi Tajiri]], who as a child had a fondness for catching {{wp|insect}}s and {{wp|tadpole}}s near his home in suburban {{wp|Tokyo}}. Over time, Tajiri decided to put his idea of catching creatures into practice because it would give children the same thrill as he had.

==Early days==
[[Image:ShiMiy.jpg|thumb|left|Shigeru Miyamoto]]With the help of [[Ken Sugimori]] and other friends, Tajiri formed [[Game Freak]] and much later the design studio known as [[Creatures]]. When Tajiri discovered the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Link cable|Game Boy Link Cable]], it gave him the image of insects traveling along the wire, which led to the concept for a new game called ''[[Capsule Monsters]]''. After several failed attempts at pitching this idea to [[Nintendo]], Tajiri's new friend [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched it to the company, and Nintendo began to fund the project, spending six years developing the games that would become a worldwide sensation. The original artwork for the games was drawn by Tajiri's friend, the artist [[Ken Sugimori]]. Sprites of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} appeared in Game Freak's [[Game Boy Camera]] in 1998.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/corp/report/fiscal2004.pdf (retrieved February 26, 2010)</ref> Sometime during development, Nintendo decided to change the name "Capsule Monsters" to "Pocket Monsters."

==Generation I==
===Taking over Japan===
[[Image:Pokemon_green_box_ja.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Green box art]]The first [[Pokémon games]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], came to the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy]] system in Japan on February 27th, 1996, which was the fulfillment of Satoshi Tajiri's dream and allowed people of all ages to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]], [[Pokémon training|train]] and [[trade]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 creatures}} and become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Due to high sales, Pokémon Red and Green were swiftly followed up with [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], which had improved graphics and sounds.

After the games, a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was developed by Media Factory with its own set of rules. The {{TCG|Base Set|first set}} of cards was released on October 20th, 1996, containing 102 cards, and became very popular.

The franchise also won many {{pkmn|manga}} interpretations, the first being ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' by [[Kosaku Anakubo]], which was first {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|1|collected and published}} in November 1996 by [[Shōgakukan]]. This was chiefly a gag manga, using crude humor and slapstick, starring a trainer named [[Isamu Akai]] and his rude {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}}.

The popularity of the franchise also led to an {{pkmn|anime}} series based on the games, [[EP001|premiering]] in Japan on April 1st, 1997. The main character was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named ''Satoshi'' (after [[Satoshi Tajiri]], later dubbed in English to [[Ash Ketchum]]), based on {{ga|Red}}. Another character introduced in the first episode was Satoshi's [[rival]], ''Shigeru'' (after [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], later dubbed in English to [[Gary Oak]]), based on {{ga|Blue}}.

The anime quickly became very popular, and soon a manga series based on it named ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' was written by [[Toshihiro Ono]]. The {{vol|Electric Tale of Pikachu|1|first volume}} of the series was first published on October 28th, 1997. The more famous manga in the western world, however, is ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', {{PAV|1|the first volume of which}} was first published in Japan on August 8th, 1997. This is the longest running manga in Pokémon history, as it is still ongoing today, over twelve years later. Several other manga series were published in that era, including ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' and [[Miho Asada]]'s ''[[Pokémon Get da ze!]]''.

In addition to these manga series, [[Shogakukan]] also published the first volume of ''[[Pokémon Wonderland]]'', a magazine with the latest information on the franchise, on August 23rd, 1997. They also released a new manga series named ''Pokémon PiPiPi ★ Adventures'' (later translated to ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]''), authored by [[Yumi Tsukirino]], on March 28th, 1998. The main difference in this series was that is was aimed mainly towards girls.

On April 25th, 1998, the first [[Pokémon Center (store)|''Pokémon Center'' store]] was opened in Tokyo, specializing in [[Pokémon merchandise]]. Along the way, [[The Pokémon Company]] began its operations. Many such stores were opened in later years, and today there are six different stores across Japan, as well as one in New York.

===Conquering the world===
[[Image:Anime_Ash.png|thumb|left|Ash Ketchum in the original series of the anime]]North America received {{2v|Red|Blue}}, as well as the anime, in September 1998 (the anime on the 7th and the games on the 30th), and soon everywhere else began to play the games on the Game Boy under the slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]''. The {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} was also introduced to North America on January 9th, 1999 by [[Wizards of the Coast]]. ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' became the first [[Pokémon manga]] to be translated to English when [[VIZ Media]] started publishing it on September 28th, 1999.

Meanwhile in Japan in 1998, a new spin-off game, {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game featured only 42 Pokémon of the full 151. This game proved to be commercially and critically unsuccessful.

The {{pkmn|anime}}, on the other hand, pushed the franchise to new heights. On July 18th, 1998, ''[[M01|Pokémon the First Movie]]'' debuted in Japanese theaters, featuring the rare {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}. In the United States, where it was released on November 10th, 1999, the movie even briefly held the record for highest-grossing opening for an animated film.

Plans soon started for a game based on the popular anime and {{v|Yellow}} was released September 12th, 1998 in Japan, October 25th, 1999 in North America and Europe. Pokémon Yellow allowed Trainers to take on the role of {{Ash}} and travel through [[Kanto]] with anime-style graphics for each Pokémon and a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] by their side, following the anime's course of events.

===Expanding to spin-offs===
On December 18th, 1998 a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|Game Boy game based on the TCG]] was released, later arriving in North America on April 10th, 2000. It was followed, only in Japan, a year later by a sequel titled {{Card GB 2}}.

The anime, as well as {{game|Yellow}}, marked {{p|Pikachu}} as the most popular and recognized creatures in Pokémon history, turning it into the franchise's mascot. This led to a small spin-off game called [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on December 12th, 1998, and in North America on November 6th, 2000. This was a virtual-pet game, utilizing the [[Nintendo 64]]'s Voice Recognition Unit to let the players interact verbally with Pikachu.

When the anime finished following the games story with {{Ash}}'s defeat in the [[Pokémon League]] in January 1999, it [[EP081|started]] a [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|filler season]] in a new region called the [[Orange Archipelago]], introducing the new main character of [[Tracey Sketchit]]. During this season's time, a second movie, ''[[M02|Pokémon the Movie 2000]]'', was produced. It was first in Japanese theaters on July 17th, 1999, and in North American theaters on July 21st, 2000.

A non-traditional spin-off game for [[Nintendo 64]], {{g|Snap}}, was released in Japan on March 21st, 1999, inviting the player (in the role of [[Todd Snap]]) to a Pokémon photographing mission in a place called [[Pokémon Island]]. This game made its way to North America on July 27th, 1999.

On April 14th, 1999, a spin-off pinball game for the [[Game Boy Color]] was released, called {{g|Pinball}}. This game took all the mechanics of regular pinball, with some Pokémon aspects added in. Its North American release was on June 28th, 1999.

[[Image:Pokemon Live cover.jpg|thumb|right|''Pokémon Live!'' CD cover art]]A sequel to {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}} was also eventually released in Japan on April 30th, 1999, and became a success. This game reached North America on February 29th, 2000, and became known there as the original {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. The twist in the {{pkmn|Stadium series}} from the [[version|main series]] was that it featured the Pokémon in 3D.

In September 2000, the anime-based puzzle game {{g|Puzzle League}} was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game was the only Pokémon game to be made specifically for western audiences and not be released in Japan.

However, this was not the only American-made original Pokémon material. From 2000 to 2002, an anime-based musical called ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'' was shown on stages around the world. The most memorable plot point in the musical was the revelation that {{Ash}}'s mother, {{Delia}}, used to be a friend of [[Giovanni]] when they were younger. The musical isn't considered [[canon]], but it sparked endless theories among fans regarding the identity of Ash's father.

==Generation II==
===Winds of new beginnings===
[[Image:JohtoII.png|thumb|left|A map of Johto]]Almost since the very beginning of the series, it had been apparent that the first 151 Pokémon would not be the last. {{p|Ho-Oh}} was seen as early as [[EP001|the first episode of the anime]], {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} was owned by a {{an|Misty|main character}}, and others like {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Donphan}} were seen in [[M01|the first movie]]. Later, when [[Generation II|the second generation]] of Pokémon was drawing nearer, others like {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Elekid}} made their way to [[M02|the second movie]].

On November 21st, 1999, Nintendo of Japan released {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for the then-new [[Game Boy Color]]. This time, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were invited to the land of [[Johto]], where {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 more Pokémon}} were waiting to be captured. The new games enhanced the Pokémon gaming experience by adding many new features, the most famous likely being the ability for Pokémon to have different [[gender]]s, in turn allowing them to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. A [[time]] system was also introduced, with a real-time clock allowing different events to happen during the day, at night, and in the morning, as well as on certain [[days of the week]]. Another important addition was the [[happiness]] system. [[Shiny Pokémon]] also first appeared, most notably a [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Trainers could also return to [[Kanto]] and face the [[Gym Leader]]s that were present in the original games. Pokémon Gold and Silver made its way to North America on October 11th, 2000.

The anime followed, of course, and {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} also arrived at Johto in [[EP117|an episode]] that aired in Japan on October 14th, 1999 and in the US on October 14th, 2000. ''[[M03|Pokémon 3: The Movie]]'' was then released to theaters on July 8th, 2000 in Japan and on April 6th, 2001 in North America, featuring the legendary {{p|Entei}}.

A new trading card set called [[Neo Genesis]] featured the first Generation II Pokémon to the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. It was released in Japan on December 10, 1999 and in the United States on December 16, 2000.

A sequel to {{g|Puzzle League}} was released on September 21st, 2000 for [[Game Boy Color]], this time in Japan, titled {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}. It made its way to North America on December 4th, 2000.

On December 14th, 2000, a sequel to the Stadium series was released in Japan called {{g|Stadium 2}}, bringing the [[Generation II]] Pokémon into full 3D for the first time. This game reached North America on March 25th, 2001.

Like Pokémon Yellow, a [[Versions|third version]] was made called {{game|Crystal}}, which was released in Japan on December 14th, 2000 and in North America on July 21st, 2001. Pokémon Crystal had several notable changes from Gold and Silver. {{p|Suicune}} was the [[version mascot]] and the focus of the plot. Crystal was also the first portable Pokémon game to feature animations for every Pokémon. Trainers in Japan received the added bonus of being able to trade, battle, and even obtain the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Celebi}} wirelessly by using a cell phone to connect to the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. Trainers were also, for the first time, allowed to choose their character's [[gender]].

===Anime and manga in GS===
[[File:PokemonAdv08.png|thumb|right|Volume 8 of the Pokémon Adventures manga]]On December 30th, 2000, the first feature-length special of the Pokémon anime was released in Japan as a sequel to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', titled ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. It was later released on DVD in the United States on December 5th, 2001.

In June 2000, a {{pkmn|manga}} series by [[Muneo Saitō]] titled ''[[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]]'' was published in Japan. This manga followed the plot of the [[Generation II]] games, before abruptly ending after three volumes with very little resolution. Another new manga series by [[Takashi Teshirogi]] based on the anime's new seasons called ''[[Ash and Pikachu]]'' was published on Febuary 26th, 2001.

Another anime movie, ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', debuted in theaters in Japan on July 7th, 2001, and in North America on October 25th, 2002. It featured two [[legendary Pokémon]] prominent in {{game|Crystal}}: {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

The ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga finally caught up to the second generation on August 8th, 2001, when {{PAV|8}} was published in Japan, starting [[Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Adventures)|a new chapter]]. This chapter was much longer than the previous chapters of the series, lasting no less than 7 full volumes. Additionally, this is the only volume to share its release date with future volumes in Japanese, being that the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|two]] [[Pokémon Adventures volume 10|after]] it were published at the same time.

{{p|Raikou}}, the only member of the [[legendary beasts]] yet to be featured in an anime movie, received its own made-for-TV special, ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', on December 30th, 2001. This special didn't feature {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, but rather new characters based on the [[player character]]s of the second generation.

On July 13th, 2002, the fifth and last movie of the [[original series]], ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', was released in Japanese theaters. Distributed on limited release by [[Miramax]], it opened in select American theaters on May 16th, 2003.

==Generation III==
===Advancing to a new age===
[[Image:EP205.png|left|thumb|The first Kecleon]]In July 2001 [[EP205|an episode]] of the anime aired in Japan featuring a Pokémon never previously seen - {{p|Kecleon}}. Soon, Kecleon and others like {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Duskull}} and {{p|Volbeat}} showed up in theaters in 2 [[PK11|Pikachu]] [[PK12|shorts]] while {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} were featured in [[M05|the fifth]] Pokémon movie. During the [[Silver Conference]] Ash battled {{jo|Harrison}}, a Trainer from [[Littleroot Town]] in [[Hoenn]]. [[Professor Birch]], along {{p|Poochyena|with}} {{p|Lotad|other}} {{p|Sharpedo|Pokémon}}, made a cameo in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''. Through this, it became known that the next generation of Pokémon was just around the corner.

Indeed, a major overhaul of the main game series occurred when Pokémon arrived on the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 21st, 2002 when {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} were released in Japan. Trainers found themselves in the southern land called [[Hoenn]] where {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 new Pokémon}} were waiting to be discovered. The games reached North America on March 18th 2003 and had many new features, the most prominent being [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[double battle]]s, Pokémon [[Ability|abilities]] and [[nature]]s for each Pokémon, along with the reform of [[effort values]] and [[individual values]]. Also introduced in these versions were more detailed [[weather conditions]] and two new [[villainous teams]], [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to the extensive changes to the system, however, this generation was not compatible with earlier generations.

The anime began a new series, {{series|Advanced Generation}}, which [[AG001|started]] in Japan on the same day as the release of the games and reached North America almost a year later. A great deal was changed in this series, including the introduction of a new main character, {{an|May}}, based on her game counterpart. Two new movies were produced during the time in [[Hoenn]]: ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (which was released on July 19th, 2003 in Japan and on June 1st, 2004 on video and DVD in North America) and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' (which was released on July 17th, 2004 in Japan and on January 22nd, 2005 on North American television).

Around the same time of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, a show called ''[[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]'' began to air weekly in Japan, focusing not on {{Ash}}, but on other characters of the anime, such as {{an|Misty}}, {{An|Brock}}, {{Tracey}}, {{Gary}}, [[Ritchie]], {{an|Casey}} and [[Sakura]]. The English dubbed version, ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', first aired in the United Kingdom in May 2005, finally dubbing ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special to English along the way, three and a half years after its original Japanese airing.

[[Nintendo]] transferred the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} license from [[Wizards of the Coast]] to itself in 2003, and released {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire|its first set}} on January 31st, introducing new game mechanics and a new card design. This set was released in North America on June 18th, 2003.

===More spin-offs===
To solve the problem of limited Pokémon storage in the continuously growing Pokémon world, {{g|Box Ruby and Sapphire}} was released May 30th 2003 in Japan, July 11th 2004 in North America, allowing Trainers to store up to 1,500 Pokémon from their Generation III games.

A small spin-off game named {{g|Channel}} for [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] was released in Japan on July 13th, 2003. It focused on a TV-broadcasting network airing a variety of Pokémon programs, with the player playing the role of the test audience. The game also included a unique anime episode, ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''. Pokémon Channel reached North America on December 1st, 2003.

On July 28th, 2003, {{PAV|15}} of the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga was first published, starting [[Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)|another chapter]], this one following the third generation's story. This was the first chapter in the series not to feature previously introduced characters. Other manga series, such as ''[[Ash and Pikachu]]'', have also moved into the RS era around the same time.

A sequel to {{g|Pinball}} met the third generation in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}} for [[Game Boy Advance]] on August 1st, 2003 in Japan and on August 23rd, 2003 in North America.

The ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' manga series received a third generation sequel in ''[[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]'', the {{vol|Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire|1|first volume of which}} was first released on September 25th, 2003. ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]'' has also received a sequel in the form of ''[[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]]'', first published on December 29th, 2003.

The 3D version of [[Generation III]] came in the form of {{g|Colosseum}} on November 21st, 2003 in Japan and March 22nd, 2004 in North America on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. Unlike the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], this game also featured an RPG taking place in the desolate [[region]] of [[Orre]]. The game's main addition to the growing [[Pokémon universe]] was [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===Back to Kanto and onward to the Battle Frontier===
[[Image:Pokemon_FireRed_boxart_EN-US.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon FireRed Version box art]]On January 29th, 2004, two new [[version|games]] were released in Japan: {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. They arrived in North America on September 9th, 2004, and were remakes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} which brought the games up to Generation III standards, as well as adding wireless connectivity (through a [[GBA Wireless Adapter|wireless adapter]] for the Game Boy Advance) and a new region — the [[Sevii Islands]]. These games also gave the [[Event Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}} [[Form differences|two additional forms]], which could only be obtained by moving Deoxys to a {{v2|FireRed}} or {{v2|LeafGreen}} cartridge.

Not yet finished with the [[Hoenn]] story, Game Freak developed a third version to complement Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, {{game|Emerald}}. This game was released in Japan on September 16th, 2004, and in North America on May 1st, 2005. Emerald featured the same wireless connectivity as FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as an updated version of Hoenn with many new features, including the Hoenn {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, the ability to re-battle Gym Leaders, an altered plot, and animations for all Pokémon, as in Crystal Version.

The {{pkmn|anime}} [[AG132|caught up]] with both the Generation I remakes and Emerald by having the group travel back to [[Kanto]] and face the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} there. During this season's time two more movies were produced: ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (premiering in Japan on July 16th, 2005) and ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' (debuting in Japanese cinemas on July 15th, 2006).

On August 28, 2006, {{PAV|22}} of the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' was published, starting the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and on June 23, 2007, {{PAV|26}} started the {{chap|Emerald}}. Another short manga series called ''[[Pokémon Battle Frontier]]'' was written by [[Shigekatsu Ihara]], focusing on the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

===Original new concepts===
A spin-off racing game called {{g|Dash}} was released in Japan on December 2nd, 2004 and in North America on March 14th, 2005. It was the first of many Pokémon games made for the [[Nintendo DS]].

On August 4th, 2005, Trainers were invited back to [[Orre]] in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a sequel to {{g|Colosseum}} taking place about five years later. This game found its way to North America on October 3rd, 2005.

A spin-off puzzle game, {{g|Trozei!}}, was released on October 20th, 2005 in Japan and on March 6th, 2006 in North America. The game had a story mode, which followed [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] as she attempted to take down the [[Phobos Battalion]].

Starting with the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] expansion {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, which was released on October 28th, 2005 in Japan and 3 days later in the United States, a new special kind of Pokémon called {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} was introduced. δ Delta Species Pokémon were found only in a few TCG expansions, and were given a backstory involving a new region called [[Holon]].

[[Image:Ranger_box.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Pokémon Ranger box art]]A new style of play saw light on November 17th, 2005, with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] — a pair of games, one for [[Game Boy Advance]] and one for [[Nintendo DS]] — in which the {{player}} is turned into a Pokémon. The games, released in North America on September 18th, 2006, received adaptations in the anime episode ''[[SS019]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

Another new twist on Pokémon came in the spin-off [[Nintendo DS]] game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} on March 23rd, 2006. This time, players didn't play as regular [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, but as {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s traveling the land of [[Fiore]] with a device called the [[Capture Styler]] instead of [[Poké Ball]]s. It was released in North America on October 30th, 2006. The game was also promoted in the anime through the appearance of Pokémon Rangers in [[AG155|the main series]], [[AG171|a special episode]] and [[M09|the ninth movie]], and in a short [[Pokémon Ranger - The Comic|manga series]].

===Ten years of Pokémon===
2006 was marked officially as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Pokémon's tenth anniversary]], and was celebrated as such in many ways, such as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America|Journey Across America]]. Among other things, an English CD was released titled ''[[Pokémon X]] - 10 Years of Pokémon''.

On April 29th, 2006, a special episode of the {{pkmn|anime}} called ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' was broadcast in the United States. This was the first episode to use [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s new voice actors (Pokémon USA at the time), causing big [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|controversy]] among the Pokémon fan community. The special was eventually broadcast in Japan as streaming video from the TV Tokyo ''Anitele'' web site from October 13th to October 31st, 2006.

In fall 2006, another section of the Pokémon franchise was created in the form of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]] in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia, made by {{wp|Kaiyodo}}. The figures reached North America and Japan in 2007.

==Generation IV==
===Diamond and Pearl===
[[Image:Dpseries.jpg|thumb|right|A poster for the Diamond & Pearl anime series]]Just like with {{p|Kecleon}} in [[Generation III]], the public learned of [[Generation IV]] through a new Pokémon — {{p|Munchlax}} — in May 2004. Munchlax was soon featured in {{g|Dash}}, as well as [[M07|the seventh movie]] and later [[May's Munchlax|the main anime]]. Others such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}} then made their way to [[M08|the eighth movie]], and {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}} appeared in [[M09|the ninth]], which featured {{p|Manaphy}} — a new [[legendary Pokémon]] that even became obtainable in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}.

{{2v|Diamond|Pearl}} were eventually released for [[Nintendo DS]] in Japan on September 28th, 2006, and in North America on April 22nd, 2007. Along with {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}} in the new huge land of [[Sinnoh]], these games offered a pseudo-3D rendering of the overworld, the return of the [[time]] system, visible [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences between Pokémon]], a split between [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s, and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.

The anime {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[DP001|started]] in Japan and in the US in synchronization with the release of the games. Like the previous series, it introduced a new female character, {{an|Dawn}}, based on her game counterpart.

The three {{pkmn|movie}}s of this series form a continuous trilogy. The first part of the trilogy, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', premiered on July 14th, 2007 in Japanese theaters, and aired on February 24th, 2008 on North American televisions. The second part, ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' premiered in Japan on July 19th, 2008, and aired on February 13th, 2009 on North American televisions. The third and final movie of the trilogy, ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', premiered on July 18th, 2009 in Japan, has aired on Cartoon Network in the United States on November 20th, 2009.

A new [[Diamond & Pearl (TCG)|TCG set]] was released in Japan on November 30, 2006 and in the United States on May 23, 2007, featuring the new Pokémon from [[Sinnoh]].

===New sequels===
[[Image:PBRAmerican.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Pokémon Battle Revolution box art]]On December 14th, 2006, two weeks after the launch of Nintendo's [[Wii]] console, [[Generation IV]] Pokémon turned 3D in the form of {{g|Battle Revolution}}. It was released in the United States on June 25th, 2007.

Several manga series were written for the fourth generation. The first volume of ''{{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}}'', the new sequel of ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]'', was published in Japan on January 26th, 2007. One month later, on February 27th, [[Shigekatsu Ihara]]'s ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]'' was first published.

The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|paired sequels for]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] for [[Nintendo DS]] were released in Japan on September 13th, 2007 and in North America on April 20th, 2008. Just like before, [[SS020|an anime adaptation]] was also produced and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team|a manga series]] was published.

{{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s were also brought into the fourth generation in a sequel called {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, set in the new land of [[Almia]]. It was released in Japan on March 20th, 2008 and in North America on November 10th, 2008. [[DP071|Anime]] [[DP072|special]] were also produced and aired on the same day as the Japanese release, and a [[Pokémon Ranger Batonnage - the Comic|short manga]] was posted as a webcomic on the Japanese Pokémon website. In March 6, 2010, another Ranger game, {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}} was released in Japan. The new game set in the [[region]] of [[Oblivia]] was followed by [[SS022|several]] [[SS023|anime]] [[DP169|specials]].

Like with Pokémon Box in Generation III, a storage game titled [[My Pokémon Ranch]] was released on March 25th, 2008 in Japan and on June 9th, 2008 in North America, featuring the character of [[Hayley]].

Another manga series, [[Miho Asada]]'s ''[[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]]'' was collected and published on March 28th, 2008. ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' then started its {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} with {{PAV|30}} on December 25th, 2008.

The third [[version]] of [[Generation IV]], {{v|Platinum}}, was released on September 13th, 2008 in Japan and on March 22nd, 2009 in North America, bringing new [[Form differences|Pokémon forms]] into the ring for {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Rotom}}, as well as updates similar to those found in Pokémon Emerald.

{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} was followed by a third version, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], which was released in Japan on April 18th, 2009. Just like the third versions of the main series, Explorers of Sky had additional content. [[SS021|Another anime adaptation]] was produced as well. [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Another set of games]] of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series was also produced for WiiWare, released in Japan on August 4th, 2009.

===Johto's Heart and Soul===
[[File:LugiaLEGENDHeartGoldSoulSilver113.jpg|thumb|150px|right|{{TCG ID|SoulSilver Collection|Lugia LEGEND|29}}]]Ever since the [[Generation III]] remakes for the incompatible [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|games}}, Pokémon fans have widely speculated that remakes of the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games, {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, would be made for [[Nintendo DS]]. Indeed, the paired remakes, titled {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, were eventually released in Japan on September 12, 2009, and were released in the United States on March 14, 2010. The games were referred to in the {{pkmn|anime}} in [[DP143|an episode]] that featured {{an|Lyra|the counterpart of the new player character}} and the three starter Pokémon of [[Johto]], {{TP|Dawn|one of whom|Cyndaquil}} even joined the regular cast. {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver|A new expansion set}} for the TCG was also released to celebrate the new games.

A new game for the Wii: [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], was released on December 5, 2009. The game was released in North America and Europe in the spring of 2010.

==The future of Pokémon==
[[File:Zoroark.png|thumb|200px|left|Zoroark, one of the first Generation V Pokémon to be revealed.]]
The history of the Pokémon media franchise already spans long over a decade, and is rich with four [[generation]]s, many [[version|main series games]], [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]], a {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, three series of {{pkmn|anime}} complete with 12 {{pkmn|movie}}s and an as of now unreleased 13th, many series of {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Pokémon Live!|a musical]], and plenty of {{cat|music}}, but it is far from over.

It is assumed that like with previous games, the anime and manga will follow the latest games, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The thirteenth {{pkmn|movie}}, which premiered in theatres on July 12, 2010. This saw two new Pokémon, {{P|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}.

The first games of [[Generation V]], [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], will be released in Japan on September 18, 2010. They will be on the Nintendo DS platform, however will have DSi exclusive features.

The new generation will probably extend the Pokémon universe in similar fashion as the older generations did, with new Pokémon, a new region, new characters and features. However, only a few details have been confirmed and there is only a vague picture of the future of Pokémon. Only time shall tell.

Bulbapedia has [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_PC_Master this information] about the game and Wikipedia has [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokémon_PC_Master this information] about the same game. Which one is correct? I'd assume Wikipedia is correct because I've seen the Japanese version of [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/The_Mastermind_of_Mirage_Pokémon ''The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon''] and in the commercials before the episode started, there was one announcing Pokémon PC Master and it corresponds to what Wikipedia sintectically says about its purpose.

== Classification? ==

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

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

== Extending the wiki for the Spanish language ==

Will it possible to create an extension of this wiki for the Spanish language at the international level?. The Spanish used to be that used in [[wp:Hispanic America|Hispanic America]], and the names of characters, places and others are the same as used in United States. --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonamimaniacolatino]] 16:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

Bulbapedia that would be good to do a version of yourself in Spanish or even better make another wiki in Spanish but with the same format as the bulbapedia (with the same names of characters, places, etc.) and not use anything that has to do with Spain and forming part of [[Encyclopaediae Pokémonis]]. --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonamimaniacolatino]] 21:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

But I think I'm missing the point :D. No, If we really needed one Bulbapedia in Spanish hmmmmm well, I think it's a difficult toppic, a lot of people should keep discussing this until we get a conclusion. If the answer is "Yes, lets do a Bulbapedia in Spanish!" then count on me!! But if the answer is not... I wouldn't be sad anyway, cause I don't think it's reaaaaally needed.

::I do not think it correct to say that Pokèteca is officially a wiki in Spanish when their information is poor, little, makes a bad use of classifications that are not officers, who are only known within a European country and that their way of disseminated the information is not so neutral, I mean they do not implement or do not know what the [[wp:Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|Neutral point of view]] is that every wiki should have. But in recent days I have been talking to a webmaster of a fansite Pokémon in Latin America and told me he has been working with its friends in the development of a wiki in Spanish in which they can use the nomenclature of USA. This news made me fell so good I decided to be part of this. We are polishing and doing everything necessary to make this wiki its debut next month is in July. We have great hopes with this wiki and can move faster than any other Spanish wiki Pokemon has been seen and if possible, be a part of PE. This wiki is based on Bulbapedia (information from the articles, of course) and use that spirit of seriousness of Wikipedia so we can succeed in this project is to come. --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonamimaniacolatino]] 22:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
:::I think that if Pokéteca is a spanish wiki we have to use the official spanish nomenclature, in other words, the names used in Spain. We can search a solution but... what solution? If somebody plays the game in english, I think that he can read Bulbapedia. But if somebody plays the game in spanish, he can't read a spanish wiki with english nomenclature, he needs a wiki with spanish nomenclature. Respect to the information of Pokéteca is 'poor and little'... it's logical, Pokéteca has only 8 months online but there're people working hard in Pokéteca... Rome was not built in one day. The only solution that I see is create a Latin America wiki, but as I said, I don't see this logical.--[[User:Habieru|Habieru]] 02:22, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

:::::No, the games realeased in Latin America, at least in Mexico, are the same from the USA, the thing here is that is someone in mexico needs a little help with his game and knows only a little English -enough- to play a game, but not to finish it, is going to have some a lot of trouble and he's going to need help, but if he goes to Poketeca or Wikidex that info may not be good enough, or different as they change the name of the moves and cities (obviously names of people and others) that may confuse him. What would be good in that case is to have and Spanish-written Encyclopedia, good for visitors form Latin America, that gets things from USA, that is {{tt|"Bulbapedia en español, la enciclopedia de Pokémon mas completa"|"Bulbapedia in Spanish, the most complete Pokémon encyclopedia"}}. THAT is what we're trying to get. See my point? because if he needs help and goes to say, Wikidex and he finds out he needs to go to "{{tt|Ciudad Calagua|Lylicove City}}" he won't know were the heck is taht :D.

Yeah, English cities and characters are the same in all English versions. The point is a Bulbapedia in Spanish? That's what PokéTeca is. So the idea of a Latin American Spanish Wiki seems really dumb [retarded] as there already is one. Just create redirects to the Spanish names of the cities/characfters or go ask for the pages to also relate to the Latin American names to prevent any other confusion. --[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''☆Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチ''']][[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''ュウ!''']] 04:36, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::::These CoolPikachu wrong. As you are Spanish and you're one of those users who manages Pokéteca, you put in a position of opposition. As I said at Pokéteca not believe in a wiki such as Spanish for the reasons mentioned above in addition to being administered by the Spanish, are closed with that stupid idea that these are the official names, they should be so when it is not correct. Are formal names, but only known within a European country, no other country but also all known names such translations are made by Nintendo Europe misconceptions that many of them are meaningless names that are not consistent with history as it should be. If you want a wiki in Spanish Pokémon, it must be neutral and use a nomenclature which is universally known that in this case are the names of USA. Why is it necessary to use the names of USA? 2 very important reasons. 1. They are the official names are designated by Nintendo and Pokémon USA are disseminated to the rest of the world, especially when it comes to the anime series. However, in Europe in general, as they are accustomed to doing them in wins, is dedicated to changing the names of characters and others is not something that seems right. 2. Latin America a region formed by a broad group of countries that speak Spanish but it handles things better, while Spain is a country which not only share similar customs with any other country. What is preferable? Use familiar names at the universal level, or using names known only within a single country while for a large region such as Latin America are not? Please realize just this question. What is more known, "Dragon Ball" or "Bola de Dragon"? As mentioned, I am part of a wiki, well I'm wrong with the date that this would debut in July but just debuted last week. This wiki is called [http://wiki.pkstadium.com "PkStadium Wiki"] which is managed by [http://www.pkstadium.com/ PkStadium], a Latin American fansite. As mentioned, the wiki using the nomenclature of USA, is subject to several policies that are used on wikis like Wikipedia, and in turn be given the freedom to use the contents of Bulbapedia for further information on the wiki and see if there the opportunity to be part of PE. --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonamimaniacolatino]] 02:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Um. CP's Californian. He lives in the US and is in fact Latino. Like has been said before, what's so hard about using a wiki's internal redirect system? We don't plan on starting a commonwealth English version of BP, just so we can change the names of stuff like Special Defense to [[Special Defence]], or so the [[list of Pokémon by colour]] can have a u. That's just bollocks.
::::::::I know, PUSA severely screwed up when it came to the Spanish translation of the games, but Spanish is Spanish. You may not use vosotros at all in Latin America, but likewise, we don't have internet ''connexions'' in the US. Doesn't mean much of anything.
::::::::Also, as for the names being known more... um. That'd be like commanding Game Freak to start putting the games in English by default, since only Japan speaks Japanese. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:37, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

And I know that Yellow was a special version instead of a third version (although this only counts for Japan; it's considered a third version elsewhere).

I have a problem. Sometimes when I edit an article, I try to save it, but I can't because I get logged out. Also, when I click the log in button to sign back in, I look at the top and it's logged in. Is something wrong?[[User:Tandra88|Tandra88]] 19:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC)tandra88
:New comments to the bottom of the page. And technically 98% of these questions should be directed at the Bulbawiki forum.... but the logout problem is yet another server flaw.

Can someone tell me on how to make a user page? I've been trying to find a help page but I can't find any![[User:Kingofun|Kingofun]] 05:25, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
:Calm down. People aren't watcing every page at every instant. This is the internet, and nothing is so urgent that you need to post 3 times in 4 minutes. As a general rule, as the number of people on will depend on your time zone, only start to worry about not getting a response after about 24 hours.

:Anyway, to make a user page click on your sig. It will take you to a page saying that this page does not yet exist, but you can create it. Put the wikicode in the box, just like for this page, and remember to preview it before you save to check that it is working how you want it. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 05:44, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

== Pronunciation for pokemon ==

I don't know if this was already suggested but i think adding a pronunciation button or one of those pronunciation keys like: [pruh-nuhn-see-ey-shuhn] could improve Bulbapedia a lot. Just a suggestion. --Usyflad10 20:38, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

:Not really. The anime, Battle Revolution, and other things have differences in how they pronounce the names. There's really no solid pronunciation for some Pokémon.

'''Final Battle: Versus The Salon Maiden''' (Japanese: '''最終決戦　タワータイクーン''' ''Final Battle: The Tower Tycoon'') is the sixth and final chapter of the [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] manga.

==Synopsis==
Having defeated six Frontier Brains, Enta is treated to lunch by Mitsuki, who talks about how far Enta has come. However, Enta isn't paying attention. Shortly after, Enta is challenged to a battle by his Master Rald. After a fierce battle with Rald coming out on top, he gives Enta a [[Fire Stone]] and he tells him to use it as he pleases. That night, while talking to his Vulpix, it touches the Fire Stone in order to evolve itself into Ninetales. The next day, Enta heads to the Battle Tower, fighting his way through all his opponents in order to reach Anabel. As the match between Enta and Anabel finally begins, Scott intervenes, telling Anabel not to go all out due to the fact that many previous trainers she defeated had lost all confidence in themselves and quit training. However, Enta objects, saying that he'd never give up as Pokémon are his comrades. Rald confirms this himself as he arrives on the scene, telling Anabel to go all out if she likes. The intense battle culminates in Entei vs. Ninetales, as the battle nears it's end, Anabel calls for a {{m|Fire Blast}}, as Enta catches a brief glimpse of Vulpix again standing in Ninetales' place. He decides to attack with {{m|Return}}, Rald comments on the sideline how such a move is perfect for a close pair such as Enta and Ninetales, and after the final strikes, the match is declared a draw. Enta thanks Ninetales for its effort, while telling Anabel that he won't lose next time.

The next thing we see is at the pier, where Enta refuses to leave the Frontier as Rald tries to convince him as the boat people are waiting for him. Enta tells Rald that he wants to stay so he can learn more from him. Rald then decides to impart his last piece of advice to Enta, in order to become the greatest, he must go on a training pilgrimage in order to fight strong people from around the world. Enta finally accepts this and leaves the Battle Frontier behind, in order to become the greatest number one trainer!

==Major events==
* Enta battles Rald and receives a Fire Stone.
* Enta's Vulpix evolves into Ninetales with the use of the Fire Stone.
* Enta challenges the Battle Tower in order to reach Anabel.
* Scott interrupts the battle to prevent Anabel going all out, however both Enta and Rald argue against this.
* The battle between Enta's Ninetales and Anabel's Entei ends in a draw.
* Enta leaves the Battle Frontier, determined to become an even greater trainer.

==Congratulations! You won the debate!==

I asked an admin, just like you suggested, and he said it was anime physics. You were right all along. And with that, concludes our debate over Team Rocket's immortality, at long last. [[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 03:55, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations on your victory, it's been a long, hard, battle. Only thing that bothers me is that no one else is going to be able to realize that this immortality trivia (I mean, they're like the Joker that way!), but I don't see how it's over-analyzing it.

I just thought that people would like to know that Team Rocket is seemingly immortal, but he said no, so I guess everyone will be kept in the dark. Well, I guess I'll see you two around later. But if you wanna enter another debate, there's one in the Tail Whip article. Anyway, the Team Rocket's immortality one is done. [[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 05:00, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

'''Sigh for Psyduck''' (Japanese: '''VSコダック''' ''VS. {{tt|Koduck|Psyduck}}'') is the thirteenth round in the {{Special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}} of the {{g|Special}} manga.

==Synopsis==
{{special|Red}} arrives in [[Lavender Town]] in the middle of a rain-storm and is looking for somewhere dry to stay. He tries to ask people for help, but they completely ignore him. While wandering around, he comes across an old man, [[Mr. Fuji]], at a tombstone. Red asks what he is doing: he is paying his respects to his deceased {{p|Doduo}}. Red also pays his respects. Mr. Fuji appreciates Red's kindness and asks him to go to his house.

At Mr. Fuji's house, he explains the origin of the [[Pokémon Tower]], a cemetery built to respect the souls of Pokémon. Red wonders why Mr. Fuji's Doduo was buried in the Tower; Mr. Fuji tells him that there are ghosts in the Tower. Red refuses to believe that there are ghosts, but Mr. Fuji states that the ghosts have made the townsfolk frightful and untrustworthy. While Mr. Fuji explains, Red is looking through old pictures of Mr. Fuji and his Doduo and stumbles upon one that also includes {{Special|Green}}. Mr. Fuji informs Red that Green went into the Tower about two weeks ago and never returned. Apparently, no one that enters the Tower returns. Intrigued by the mystery, Red runs into the building. While wondering why there is an odd fog inside the building, Red encounters a {{p|Psyduck}}. But this is no ordinary Psyduck, it is a zombie, and more Pokémon zombies show up! Red realizes that the zombies can only be in the fog, so he steps out of it. Of in the distance, he sees fire. The fire is coming from the tail of Green's {{p|Charmeleon}}! He tries to run over to them, but Charmeleon keeps firing flames at him. When he gets a closer look, he sees that there is something different about Green: he is being controlled by the fog...

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

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

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

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

*It is also the first of Team Rocket's Pokémon to evolve.
*It is both the first {{type2|Water}} and the first {{type2|Flying}} to be owned by James.
*It is the first Pokémon Team Rocket obtains from the [[Magikarp salesman]].

[[Image:Kanto_Anime.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Anime-based map of the Kanto region]]
The '''Kanto region''' (Japanese: '''カントー地方''' ''Kantō-chihō'') is a large area located east of [[Johto]], north of [[Hoenn]], and south of [[Sinnoh]]. It is the first region to be introduced, explored in the [[Generation I]] games and in the [[Generation III]] games [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]]. Kanto is also accessible in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} after the quest in Johto is completed.

Most of the names of the cities in Kanto are the names of colors (Viridian, Lavender, Indigo Plateau, etc.). [[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon professor]] and gives [[Pokémon Trainer]]s a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[starter Pokémon]], though in Yellow the only choice is a {{p|Pikachu}} that he recently caught. In the games, the player begins his or her journey in [[Pallet Town]] and ends it at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

It is based on the real {{wp|Kantō region}} (関東) in Japan. Kanto has been explorable in every [[generation]] of Pokémon games up to [[Generation III]], the only region to do so.

==In Generation II==
In the Generation II games, trainers may travel from Johto to Kanto and notice that changes have occurred as a result of the three years having passed since the time of the Generation I games:

* The Safari Zone is closed.
* Cerulean Cave has collapsed.
* Cinnabar Island has been destroyed by an eruption of the volcano, and its gym was temporarily relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
* Viridian Forest has been cut down and Mt. Moon has decreased in size due to rock slides.
* The Power Plant has become functional.
* The Pokémon Tower has become a radio tower.
* Blue has remodeled Giovanni's former gym and functions as the Gym Leader.
* Janine has taken over Fuchsia Gym, seeing as her father Koga has been promoted to the [[Elite Four]].
* The Pewter City Museum is closed for renovations.

==In Generation III==
In Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen, Kanto is very much as in the original games, with some alterations in respect to the improved graphics and gameplay. Additionally, the first three in a chain of islands known as the [[Sevii Islands]], located east and southeast of Kanto, are unlocked once Blaine is defeated on Cinnabar Island. [[Champion]]ing the [[Elite Four]] and getting the [[National Pokédex]] unlocks the other islands which make up this archipelago.

==Trivia==
*Kanto's name was never revealed in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} outside of Japan, causing many fans to think the region was called Indigo (because of the [[Indigo Plateau]]). It was mentioned only once in the Japanese versions upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at the rival's house. The first mention of its name outside of Japanese context was in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. Despite this, its name is mentioned multiple times in the [[Generation III]] remakes, including but not limited to viewing the Town Map at the beginning of the games.
*Kanto is the only main [[region]] which has been featured in two separate anime [[series]], once at the start of {{Ash}}'s journey (in the [[original series]]), and once after Ash returned from Hoenn (in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}). It is also the only region that has not had continuous time spent in it for more than one [[dub]] [[season]].
**Until Platinum's release, after Ash defeated [[Maylene]] and [[Crasher Wake]] (not to mention just before Ash challenges [[Fantina]]), it was also the only region in the anime where Ash defeated the Gym Leaders in a different order from the games.
*Kanto is mentioned during the event in which players capture {{p|Shaymin}} in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}. [[Professor Oak]] states that there is a white rock similar to the one at the north end of {{rt|224}} somewhere in the Kanto region, although no such rock has appeared in past games taking place in Kanto.
*If the Sevii Islands were considered part of Kanto, then Kanto would be the largest region in the games. Otherwise, they add up to make {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} the games with the greatest amount of visitable area.
*Kanto is the only region whose routes' numbers have different numbers of digits, having both one-digit and two-digit route numbers. [[Johto]] only has two-digit route numbers, and [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] have only three-digit route numbers.

Hey1031:

[[Image:Koji.jpg|thumb|right|230px|Koji]]

'''Koji''' (Japanese: '''ユウジ''' ''Yūji'') was the [[character of the day]] of the {{g|anime}} who appeared in the episode ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''. His English voice actor is [[Ted Lewis|Ed Paul]] and his Japanese voice actor is 陶山章央 ''Akio Suyama''.

He was a brash young {{pkmn|Trainer}} who wanted a {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and ended up competing with {{Ash}} to catch one in a forest. Even though Ash caught [[Ash's Cyndaquil|one]] first, Koji pressured Ash into a {{pkmn|battle}} with the prize being the Cyndaquil he already captured. Against [[Brock]]'s better judgment, Ash accepted the challenge and had Cyndaquil battle Koji's {{p|Sandslash}}.

Despite having a disadvantage, Cyndaquil was able to use its speed and {{m|Tackle}} attack to defeat the Sandslash. Koji then decided to try to steal Cyndaquil anyway, only to get badly burned when it used a {{m|Flamethrower}} at him, causing him to run away.

Hey1031: /* Explorable in generaton IV */ new section

For the Pokemon League champion, shouldn't his name be listed as Blue rather than Gary? Blue is his name in Gold/Silver, as well. Also, should the name link to "Gary" or to something like "Blue (game)"?
* [[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 22:38, 8 Jan 2005 (GMT)

Hmm, but in FireRed and LeafGreen his name is Green, isn't it?
* [[User:nYoo|nYoo]] 20:38, 15 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Is his name ever seen in Fire/Leaf? His in-game data in the Japanese version (where he is Green on older games) is みてい (undecided) and his in-game data in the English version gives him the name Terry (terra, Earth-badge gym?) So, that's no help. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 18:11, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== Kanto ==

I don't recall seeing a macron over the "o" in the US Pokémon games and manuals etc., it was just "Kanto", wasn't it?
What the name of Kanto is in Japan is irrelevant to the article title and its first word, we're using US names... ._.

Of course, correct me if I'm wrong (this ''is'' a wiki XD), but I'm fairly sure...
*[[User:Hyperworm|Hyperworm]] 09:28, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

: Of course you don't see a macron. Do you see macrons in '''Tōkyō''', '''Kyōto''', '''Tōkaidō''' or '''Hokkaidō'''? Of course not, English just drops them. It's fairly common on Wikipedia to put the macrons back where the English name would otherwise be identical to Hepburn romanisation, and I agree (and if you can't read the katakana, I assure you, the long vowel is there) -- it reduces clutter. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 10:31, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
:: I can read the katakana, and I'm all for writing Japanese words so they strictly conform to Hepburn romanisation, which is why I added "Kantō" after カントー. However, I'm just as much for writing English words so they strictly conform to how the official people decided they should be written in English. As you said yourself, English drops macrons, and so IMHO if we're using the English names, we should copy how they're officially written in the US character-for-character and leave the macrons out. If we're actually talking about the '''Japanese version''' of the English Kanto (no macron), which is カントー, then for the benefit of non-Japanese-speakers I would actually romanize the name (which involves macrons) rather than typing only the true Japanese one. ._.
:: I'm new to wikis, however, and if it's standard practice to add macrons to English words that are derived from Japanese words, then fair enough... I wasn't aware, and I don't think it's a good idea myself. I'll leave it up to you whether to edit it or not.
:: It's a trifling point anyway. I should probably actually submit some decent content to Bulbapedia rather than just fixing typos, sorry for taking up your time with this. ._.
::*[[User:Hyperworm|Hyperworm]] 13:44, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== Game Champion ==

In regards to the League Champion, I think it would be best if he was recorded as Blue (or Green for the Japanese versions).

Gary is a seperate entity from the games, and you problably shouldn't record him has the League Champ in RBYG anymore than you should say that Ash is the final boss in GSC.

Blue, the one in the games anyway, is in my opinion - a different character from Gary and Green from PSpecial. The latter are based on the former, but not the same.

- Zeta

== Explorable in generaton IV ==

I'm a little bit confused. The article states more than 3 times that Kanto is explorable in all 4 generations, but this was only added after HGSS was confirmed. But then when someone tried to add in HGSS in the games its in section, it was removed. What other gen IV game is Kanto playable in thats been confirmed in the last two weeks? Someone please change it to one way or the other. --[[User:Hey1031|Hey1031]] 14:49, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to make an account on Bulbapedia because I use it a lot and just wanted to contribute to it more! I think Bulbapedia is awesome and I'm so glad its exists. Its the best [[Pokémon]] info site on the internet.

note: I know how to do some of the so called "fancy stuff" but not much so what I try to do to help is start character of the day articles and add random stuff to articles that have a lack of it. I also partake in many discussions just to voice my opinion and here what others have to think. But mainly I just press the random article button and try to find at least one thing to fix in each article.

==My First Pokemon Experience==
The first time I had ever heard of Pokemon or seen anything about it, was one morning when I was either in Kindergarten, so in late 1999. I woke up one day and went down stairs, and turned on the TV, and there was this strange show on, called pokemon. It was episode called The problem with Paras. I had no idea what it was and I thought it was pretty cool. so then sometime a little after that, me and my dad and sister went to some store (idk maybe Walmart) and bought a [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Wigglytuff]] figure package, but I didnt know what it was at the time I just thought it was cool. Then I remember I used to start getting the cards but I didnt have any card plastic sheets so I had to use a small photo album. One distinct memory for some is looking at a squitle card while I was sitting on the bottom of my stairs. Since then, I have watched the anime on and off, only really missing the mid-late Hoenn saga. I have thousands upon thousands of cards, as well as about 300 figures. I also have the odds and ends of other random pokemon things that have piled up... and it made me happy when they made the mac 'n' cheese again... I kind of missed those haha...

Hey, please say whatever you want here!!
give me advice too

== You said you want advice... ==

Please accent the 'e' in Pokémon (Alt+0233 or look in the character palette below), read the {{bp|Manual of style}} top to bottom, sign off with '<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>', etc...

There's some things to help you out in editing Bulbapedia. C: [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 21:21, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

== Link templates and shortlinks ==

Please use the {{cat|link templates}} and {{bp|shortlinks}} when linking to Pokémon or other articles. For example, use <nowiki>{{p|Sunflora}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Sunflora]]</nowiki>. Otherwise, you may accidentally link to a disambiguation page.

Additionally, when linking to episodes, please use the episode number as opposed to the title. To add the title, use the sort key. For example, if you wanted to link to Grin to Win, you would type <nowiki>[[EP135|Grin to Win]]</nowiki>. Thank you. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 22:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

ok, everytime I add to an existing discussion on a talk page, it either gets put on the same line as the original post, even if I put it on the next line, and when I put it one space over on that line, it gets it so theres gray and dotted lines around it. It never did it before but it has the last few days and its getting annoying.

== Negative Recruitment Rates ==

Those negative recruitment rates are not errors. It's due to the fact that certain factors can increase a chance for a successful recruitment. Quite an assortment of Pokémon, many of them middle evolutions, were given negative recruitment rates so as to require those factors to recruit them successfully. Metang's recruitment rate is -19% (negative-19%), yet the edit you made made it look like its recruitment rate was 38% higher than it actually was.

Coincidentally, -19% is the highest recruitment rate available at the [[Makuhita Dojo]], and that applies only to the {{p|Nuzleaf}} in the Team Shifty maze and the {{p|Graveler}} in the Team Rumblerock maze. The ones on the other boss floors on the team mazes other than the Team Hydro maze have -30% rates; the Team Hydro bosses have -33.9% rates. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 19:57, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I really dont get that, isnt anything below 1% just zero? why would it have to be -19% or something? I kind of get it a little bit, like if the percents were to change with different factors... --[[User:Hey1031|Hey1031]] 20:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

::The factors are the lead Pokémon's level and the Friend Bow. When the level is highest and a Friend Bow is used, these factors can add 34% to the recruitment rate (24% from the levels, 10% from the Friend Bow). For example, a level 100 Pokémon in the lead with no Friend Bow would have a 5% chance of successfully recruiting that Metang (-19 + 24 = 5); this shoots up to 15% with a Friend Bow assuming the same level 100 (-19 + 34 = 15).

::The game actually takes advantage of the usage of negative recruitment rates by making {{p|Kecleon}} an absolute ***** to recruit. Kecleon's recruitment rate is the lowest possible to allow successful recruitment, -33.9%. Anything lower and it's outright unrecruitable. To successfully recruit a Kecleon, you'll need to have all factors that raise recruitment in place (level 91 or higher plus the Friend Bow to add the whole 34%). Even then, the final recruitment rate for Kecleon is just 0.1% (-33.9 + 34 = 0.1)--basically a one in a thousand shot. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

It is not an error. It's just a different form, as correct as "spelled" and preferred by me. Please don't be a linguistic ignorant. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== Bulbasaur ==

It's part of the TCG template that we did a week or two ago. Some cards still haven't been updated, so they appear glitchy.--[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[User talk:RexRacer|Racer''']] 23:20, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

'''The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!''' (Japanese: '''ハルカVSシュウ！ライバルよ永遠に''' ''{{tt|Haruka|May}} VS {{tt|Shū|Drew}}! Rivals Forever!!'') is the 187th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 461st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 10, 2006 and in the United States on January 27, 2007.


{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}
{{Ash}} and {{an|May}} are depressed after their {{pkmn|battle}}s with {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} and [[Solidad]], and start to think about it. At the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash is surprised by [[Professor Oak]]'s unexpected visit, and is almost immediately cheered up after Professor Oak gives him presents from his family and friends. Later, they catch up with [[Drew]]. He challenges May to a battle after seeing her down, because of her [[Kanto Grand Festival]] loss with Solidad. May uses her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|May|Combusken}}, while Drew chooses his {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} and {{p|Butterfree}}. They were soon interrupted by [[Harley]], though. Drew eventually comes out as the victor, while Harley decides to stick around and watch. Meanwhile, Ash learns about the land of [[Sinnoh]] from {{Gary}} and Professor Oak.

After the battle, Drew and May are shown sitting, or in Drew's case, standing on a cliff. The two rivals start to have a conversation on things, darting from [[Pokémon]] to the two's next [[region]]. Drew reveals that he is going to [[Johto]] next, shocking May somewhat. After May utters something and looks down at her feet, she is standing near Drew and Harley pops up between the two of them, saying something similar to "How touching." May let's out a startled gasp as Drew stares at his rival. Harley then makes the comment of "It's dangerous! Two kids alone like this!" May puts up her hands in a protest before Harley reveals he was kidding and the fact that he's heading to Johto as well. Harley turns to a waiting Team Rocket offers Jessie the chance to come along with him. Jessie thinks for a moment before saying she belongs to Team Rocket. Harley then releases his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} and sends Team Rocket flying.

This triggers Ash and the others, along with Professor Oak to come running. Max expresses his concern for his sister first, and Ash following with something like "Are you alright?" May assures them that she and Drew were alright and it was just Harley sending Team Rocket flying. Drew then offers May to come along with him to Johto right then and there. May seems to pause and wonder whether she should. May finally answers with a no, as she wants to take Max home and rest there awhile. Drew respects this and says a farewell. May stares after his retreating figure before giving off a smile and calling out to Drew, thanking him for what he has done. He simply holds up a hand and continues on his way.

[[Image:197Umbreon.png|thumb|right|One of my favorite Pokémon, [[Umbreon]]]]
Hi, I just wanted to make an account on Bulbapedia because I use it a lot and just wanted to contribute to it more! I think Bulbapedia is awesome and I'm so glad its exists. Its the best [[Pokémon]] info site on the internet.

note: I know how to do some of the so called "fancy stuff" but not much so what I try to do to help is start character of the day articles and add random stuff to articles that have a lack of it. I also partake in many discussions just to voice my opinion and here what others have to think. But mainly I just press the random article button and try to find at least one thing to fix in each article.

==My First Pokemon Experience==
The first time I had ever heard of Pokemon or seen anything about it, was one morning when I was either in Kindergarten, so in late 1999. I woke up one day and went down stairs, and turned on the TV, and there was this strange show on, called pokemon. It was episode called The problem with Paras. I had no idea what it was and I thought it was pretty cool. so then sometime a little after that, me and my dad and sister went to some store (idk maybe Walmart) and bought a [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Wigglytuff]] figure package, but I didnt know what it was at the time I just thought it was cool. Then I remember I used to start getting the cards but I didnt have any card plastic sheets so I had to use a small photo album. One distinct memory for some is looking at a squitle card while I was sitting on the bottom of my stairs.

more to come later =), when I have time... I would like to contribute here more often and stuff to.

History of Pokémon

2009-05-12T01:42:37Z

Hey1031:

{{FAC notice}}
:''This article is about the history of the Pokémon media franchise. For other uses of "history", see [[History]].''
----
[[Image:Satoshitajiri.jpg|right|frame|Satoshi Tajiri]]The '''history of the Pokémon media franchise''' spans over a decade from when work began officially on the first game to now, and has roots even older. It started simply enough as a hobby of [[Satoshi Tajiri]], who as a child had a fondness for catching {{wp|insect}}s and {{wp|tadpole}}s near his home in suburban {{wp|Tokyo}}. Over time, Tajiri decided to put his idea of catching creatures into practice because it would give children the same thrill as he had.

==Early days==
[[Image:ShiMiy.jpg|thumb|left|Shigeru Miyamoto]]With the help of [[Ken Sugimori]] and other friends, Tajiri formed [[Game Freak]] and much later the design studio known as [[Creatures]]. When Tajiri discovered the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Link cable|Game Boy Link Cable]], it gave him the image of insects traveling along the wire, which led to concept for a new game called ''[[Capsule Monsters]]''. After several failed attempts at pitching this idea to [[Nintendo]], Tajiri's new friend [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched it to the company, and Nintendo began to fund the project, spending six years developing the games that would become a worldwide sensation. The original artwork for the games was drawn by Tajiri's friend, the artist [[Ken Sugimori]]. Before the first Pokémon games were released in Japan in 1996, sprites of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} appeared in Game Freak's [[Game Boy Camera]] in 1995. Around this time, Nintendo decided to change the name "Capsule Monsters" to "Pocket Monsters."

==Generation I==
===Taking over Japan===
[[Image:Pokemon_green_box_ja.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Green Box]]The first [[Pokémon games]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], came to the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy]] system in Japan on February 27th, 1996, which was the fulfillment of Satoshi Tajiri's dream and allowed people of all ages to [[Captured Pokémon|catch]], [[Pokémon training|train]] and [[trade]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 creatures}} and become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Due to high sales, Pokémon Red and Green were swiftly followed up with [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], which had improved graphics and sounds.

After the games, a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was developed by Media Factory with its own set of rules. The {{TCG|Base Set|first set}} of cards was released on October 20th, 1996, containing 102 cards, and became very popular.

The popularity of the franchise also led to an {{pkmn|anime}} series based on the games, [[EP001|premiering]] in Japan on April 1st, 1997. The main character was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named ''Satoshi'' (after [[Satoshi Tajiri]], later dubbed in English to [[Ash Ketchum]]), based on {{ga|Red}}. Another character introduced in the first episode was Satoshi's [[rival]], ''Shigeru'' (after [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], later dubbed in English to [[Gary Oak]]), based on {{ga|Blue}}.

The franchise also won many manga interpretations, the first being {{ma|Pocket Monsters}}. The more famous manga in the western world, however, is [[Pokémon Special]], [[Pokémon Special volume 1|the first volume of which]] was first published in Japan on August 8th, 1997.

[[Shogakukan]] published the first volume of ''[[Pokémon Wonderland]]'', a magazine with the latest information on the franchise, on August 23rd, 1997.

On April 25th, 1998, the first [[Pokémon Center (store)|''Pokémon Center'' store]] was opened in Tokyo, specializing in Pokémon merchandise. Along the way, [[The Pokémon Company]] began its operations. Many such stores were opened in later years, and today there are six different stores across Japan, as well as one in New York.

===Conquering the world===
North America received {{2v|Red|Blue}}, as well as the anime, in September 1998 (the anime on the 7th and the games on the 30th), and soon everywhere else began to play the games on the Game Boy under the slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]''. The {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} was also introduced to North America on January 9th, 1999 by [[Wizards of the Coast]].

[[Image:Anime_Ash.png|thumb|left|Ash Ketchum from the anime]]Meanwhile in Japan in 1998, a new spin-off game, {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game featured only 42 Pokémon of the full 151. The game wasn't very successful, though.

The {{pkmn|anime}}, on the other hand, pushed the franchise to new heights. On July 18th, 1998, ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back|Pokémon the First Movie]]'' debuted in Japanese theaters, featuring the rare {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}. In the United States, where it was released on November 10th, 1999, the movie even briefly held the record for highest-grossing opening for an animated film.

Plans soon started for a game based on the popular anime and {{v|Yellow}} was released September 12th, 1998 in Japan, October 25th, 1999 in North America and Europe. Pokémon Yellow allowed Trainers to take on the role of {{Ash}} and travel through [[Kanto]] with anime-style graphics for each Pokémon and a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] by their side, following the anime's course of events.

===Expanding to spin-offs===
On December 18th, 1998 a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|Game Boy game based on the TCG]] was released, later arriving in North America on April 10th, 2000. It was followed, only in Japan, a year later by a sequel titled {{Card GB 2}}.

The anime, as well as {{game|Yellow}}, marked {{p|Pikachu}} as one of (if not ''the'') most popular and recognized creatures in Pokémon history. This led to a small spin-off game called [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on December 12th, 1998, and in North America on November 6th, 2000. This was a virtual-pet game, utilizing the [[Nintendo 64]]'s Voice Recognition Unit to let one interact verbally with Pikachu.

When the anime finished following the games story with {{Ash}}'s defeat in the [[Pokémon League]] in January 1999, it [[EP081|started]] a [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|filler season]] in a new region called the [[Orange Archipelago]], introducing the new main character of [[Tracey Sketchit]]. During this season's time, a second movie, ''[[The Power of One|Pokémon the Movie 2000]]'', was produced. It was first in Japanese theaters on July 17th, 1999, and in North American theaters on July 21st, 2000.

A non-traditional spin-off game for [[Nintendo 64]], {{g|Snap}}, was released in Japan on March 21st, 1999, inviting the player (in the role of [[Todd Snap]], a character previously introduced in the anime) to a Pokémon photographing mission in a place called [[Pokémon Island]]. This game made its way to North America on July 27th, 1999.

On April 14th, 1999, a spin-off pinball game for the [[Game Boy Color]] was released, called {{g|Pinball}}. This game took all the mechanics of regular pinball, with some Pokémon aspects added in. Its North American release was on June 28th, 1999.

A sequel to the {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}} was also eventually released in Japan on April 30th, 1999, and became a success. This game reached North America on February 29th, 2000, and became known there as the original {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. The twist in the Stadium series from the [[version|main series]] was that it featured the Pokémon in 3D.

[[Image:Pokemon Live cover.jpg|thumb|right|''Pokémon Live!'' CD cover]]In September 2000, the anime-based puzzle game {{g|Puzzle League}} was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game was the only Pokémon game to be made specifically for western audiences and not be released in Japan.

However, this was not the only American-made original Pokémon material. From 2000 to 2002, an anime-based musical called [[Pokémon Live!]] was shown on stages around the world. The most memorable plot point in the musical was the revelation that {{Ash}}'s father is [[Giovanni]]. The musical isn't considered [[canon]], but it sparked endless theories among fans.

==Generation II==
===Winds of new beginnings===
[[Image:JohtoII.png|thumb|left|A map of Johto]]Almost since the very beginning, it was known that 151 was not the end of things. {{p|Ho-Oh}} was seen as early as [[EP001|the first episode of the anime]], {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was owned by a [[Misty|main character]], and others like {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Donphan}} were seen in [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|the first movie]]. Later, when [[Generation II|the second generation]] of Pokémon was drawing nearer, others like {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Elekid}} made their way to [[The Power of One|the second movie]].

On November 21st, 1999, Nintendo of Japan released {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for the then-new [[Game Boy Color]]. This time, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were invited to the land of [[Johto]], where {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 more Pokémon}} were waiting to be captured.

The new games enhanced the Pokémon gaming experience by adding many new features, the most famous of which probably being [[gender]]s for most Pokémon, which allowed for {{pkmn|breeding}}. Also, [[time]] came into play, which allowed for differing events in the day, night, and morning, and [[days of the week]]. Another important addition was the [[happiness]] system. [[Alternate coloration]] also first appeared, most importantly the [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Trainers could also return to [[Kanto]] and face the [[Gym Leader]]s that existed in the original games. Pokémon Gold and Silver made its way to North America on October 11th, 2000.

The anime followed, of course, and {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} also arrived at Johto in [[EP117|an episode]] that aired in Japan on October 14th, 1999 and in the US on October 14th, 2000. ''[[Spell of the Unown|Pokémon 3: The Movie]]'' was then released to theaters on July 8th, 2000 in Japan and on April 6th, 2001 in North America, featuring the legendary {{p|Entei}}.

A sequel to {{g|Puzzle League}} was released on September 21st, 2000 for [[Game Boy Color]], this time in Japan, titled {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}. It made its way to North America on December 4th, 2000.

[[Image:Stadium2.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Stadium 2 Box]]On December 14th, 2000, a sequel to the Stadium series was released in Japan called {{g|Stadium 2}}, bringing the [[Generation II]] Pokémon into full 3D for the first time. This game reached North America on March 25th, 2001.

Like Pokémon Yellow, a [[third version]] was made in Japan called {{v|Crystal}} and was released December 14th, 2000 in Japan and July 21st, 2001 in North America. Pokémon Crystal had several changes made. {{p|Suicune}} was the title character and the focus of the plot. This was also the first portable Pokémon game that featured animations for every Pokémon. Trainers in Japan received an added bonus of receiving the Pokémon known as {{p|Celebi}} through a wireless link, and also being able to trade wirelessly using a cellphone and the Mobile Adapter. Trainers were, for the first time, allowed to choose their character's [[gender]].

===Anime and manga in GS===
On December 30th, 2000, the first feature-length special of the Pokémon anime was released in Japan as a sequel to ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', titled ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. It was later released on DVD in the United States on December 5th, 2001.

Another movie, ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]'', debuted in theaters in Japan on July 7th, 2001, and in North America on October 25th, 2002. It featured two [[legendary Pokémon]] prominent in {{game|Crystal}}: {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

The [[Pokémon Special]] manga finally caught up to the second generation on August 8th, 2001, when [[Pokémon Special volume 8|Volume 8]] was published in Japan, starting [[Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Special)|a new chapter]].

{{p|Raikou}}, The only member of the [[Legendary Beasts]] yet to be featured in an anime movie, received its own made-for-TV special, ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', on December 30th, 2001. This special didn't feature {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, but rather new characters based on the [[player character]]s of the second generation.

On July 13th, 2002, the fifth and last movie of the [[original series]], ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'', was released in Japanese theaters. Distributed on limited release by [[Miramax]], it opened in select American theaters on May 16th, 2003.

==Generation III==
===Advancing to a new age===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|left|thumb|The first Kecleon]]In July 2001 [[EP205|an episode]] of the anime aired in Japan featuring a Pokémon never previously seen - {{p|Kecleon}}. Soon, Kecleon and others like {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Duskull}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} showed up in theaters in [[Pokémon 4Ever|the fourth]] and [[Pokémon Heroes|fifth]] Pokémon movies. Through them, it became known that the next generation of Pokémon was just around the corner.

Indeed, a major overhaul of the game series occurred when Pokémon arrived on the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 21st, 2002 when {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} were released in Japan. Trainers found themselves in the southern land called [[Hoenn]] where {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 new Pokémon}} were waiting to be discovered. The games reached North America on March 18th 2003 and had many new features, the most prominent ones being [[Pokémon Contests]], [[double battle]]s, Pokémon [[abilities]] and [[natures]] for each Pokémon, along with the reform of [[EVs]] and [[DVs]]. Also new in these versions were the more detailed [[weather conditions]] and the new villains: [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to the overhaul in the system, however, this generation was not compatible with earlier generations.

The anime started a new series, [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]], which [[AG001|started]] in Japan on the same day as the release of the games, and reached North America almost a year later. A lot was changed in this series, including the introduction of a new main character, {{an|May}}, based on her game counterpart. Two new movies were produced during the time in [[Hoenn]]: ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (which was released on July 19th, 2003 in Japan and on June 1st, 2004 on video and DVD in North America) and ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' (which was released on July 17th, 2004 in Japan and on January 22nd, 2005 on North American television).

Around the same time of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, a show called ''[[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]'' began to air weekly in Japan, focusing not on {{Ash}}, but on other characters of the anime, such as [[Misty]], [[Brock]], {{Tracey}}, {{Gary}}, [[Ritchie]], {{an|Casey}} and [[Sakura]]. The English dubbed version, ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', first aired in the United Kingdom in May 2005, finally dubbing ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special to English along the way, three and a half years after its original Japanese airing.

[[Nintendo]] transferred the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} license from [[Wizards of the Coast]] to itself in 2003, and released {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire|its first set}} on January 31st, introducing new game mechanics and a new card design. This set was released in North America on June 18th, 2003.

===More spin-offs===
To solve the problem of limited Pokémon storage in the continuously growing Pokémon world, {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} was released May 30th 2003 in Japan, July 11th 2004 in North America, allowing Trainers to store up to 1,500 Pokémon from their Generation III games.

A small spin-off game named {{g|Channel}} for [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] was released in Japan on July 13th, 2003, about a TV-broadcasting network that airs a variety of Pokémon programs, with the player as test audience. This game also included a unique anime episode, ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'', and it reached North America on December 1st, 2003.

On July 28th, 2003, [[Pokémon Special volume 15|Volume 15]] of the [[Pokémon Special]] manga was first published, starting [[Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Special)|another chapter]] for the manga, following the third generation story.

A sequel to {{g|Pinball}} met the third generation in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}} for [[Game Boy Advance]] on August 1st, 2003 in Japan and on August 23rd, 2003 in North America.

The 3D version of [[Generation III]] came in the form of {{g|Colosseum}} on November 21st, 2003 in Japan and March 22nd, 2004 in North America on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. Unlike the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], this game also featured an RPG taking place in the desolate [[region]] of [[Orre]]. The main new addition to the Pokémon universe in this game was [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===Back to Kanto and onward to the Battle Frontier===
[[Image:Pokemon_FireRed_boxart_EN-US.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon FireRed Version Box]]On January 29th, 2004, two new [[version|games]] were released in Japan: {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. They arrived in North America on September 9th, 2004, and were remakes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, only in Generation III standards, wireless connection and with an added region - the [[Sevii Islands]]. They also gave [[Event Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}} [[Form differences|two additional forms]] which could only be obtained by moving Deoxys over to those games.

Not finished with the [[Hoenn]] story, Game Freak developed a third version to go with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, called {{v|Emerald}}. This game was released in Japan on September 16th, 2004, and in North America on May 1st, 2005. Emerald features the same wireless connection as in FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as a return to Hoenn with many new features, including the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, re-battling Gym Leaders, changes in plot and animations for all Pokémon, like in Pokémon Crystal.

The {{pkmn|anime}} [[AG132|caught up]] with both the Generation I remakes and Emerald by having the group travel back to [[Kanto]] and face the Kanto {{ho|Battle Frontier}} there. During this season's time two more movies were produced: ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (premiering in Japan on July 16th, 2005) and ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' (debuting in Japanese cinemas on July 15th, 2006).

===Original new concepts===
A spin-off racing game called {{g|Dash}} was released in Japan on December 2nd, 2004 and in North America on March 14th, 2005. It was the first of many Pokémon games to come made for [[Nintendo DS]].

On August 4th, 2005, Trainers were invited back to [[Orre]] in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a sequel to {{g|Colosseum}} taking place about five years later. This game found its way to North America on October 3rd, 2005.

A spin-off puzzle game, {{g|Trozei!}}, was released on October 20th, 2005 in Japan and on March 6th, 2006 in North America. The game had a story mode, which followed [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] as she attempted to take down the [[Phobos Battalion]].

[[Image:Ranger_box.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Pokémon Ranger Box]]A new concept saw light on November 17th, 2005, with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] - a pair of games, one for [[Game Boy Advance]] and one for [[Nintendo DS]] - in which the {{player}} is turned into a Pokémon at the beginning of the game. The games, that were released in North America on September 18th, 2006, have received adaptations in the anime episode ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

Another new twist on Pokémon came in the spin-off [[Nintendo DS]] game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} on March 23rd, 2006. This time, players didn't play regular [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, but {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s traveling the land of [[Fiore]] with a device called the [[Capture Styler]] instead of [[Poké Ball]]s. It was released in the North America on October 30th, 2006. The game was also promoted in the anime through the appearance of Pokémon Rangers in [[AG155|the main series]], [[AG171|a special episode]] and [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|the ninth movie]].

===Ten years of Pokémon===
2006 was marked officially as Pokémon's tenth anniversary, and was celebrated as such in many ways, such as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America|Journey Across America]]. Among other things, an English CD was released titled ''[[Pokémon X]] - 10 Years of Pokémon''.

On April 29th, 2006, a special episode of the {{pkmn|anime}} called ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' was broadcast in the United States. This was the first episode to use [[Pokémon USA]]'s new voice actors, causing big [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|controversy]] among the Pokémon fan community. The special was eventually broadcast in Japan as streaming video from the TV Tokyo ''Anitele'' web site from October 13th to October 31st, 2006.

In fall 2006, another section of the Pokémon franchise was created in the form of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]] in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia, made by {{wp|Kaiyodo}}. The figures reached North America and Japan in 2007.

==Generation IV==
===Diamond and Pearl===
[[Image:Lucariodvdfc0.jpg|thumb|right|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]Just like with {{p|Kecleon}} in [[Generation III]], the public learned of [[Generation IV]] through a new Pokémon - {{p|Munchlax}} - in May 2004. Munchlax was soon featured in {{g|Dash}}, as well as [[Destiny Deoxys|the seventh movie]] and later [[May's Munchlax|the main anime]]. Others such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}} then made their way to [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|the eighth movie]], and {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}} appeared in [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|the ninth]], which featured {{p|Manaphy}} - a new [[legendary Pokémon]] that even became obtainable in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}.

{{2v|Diamond|Pearl}} were eventually released for [[Nintendo DS]] in Japan on September 28th, 2006, and in North America on April 22nd, 2007. Along with {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}} in the new huge land of [[Sinnoh]], these games offered an actual 3D rendering of the overworld, the return of the [[time]] system, [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences between Pokémon]], a split between [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s, and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.

The anime [[Diamond & Pearl series]] [[DP001|started]] in Japan and in the US in synchronization with the release of the games. Like the previous series, it introduced a new female character, {{an|Dawn}}, based on her game counterpart.

The three {{pkmn|movie}}s of this series, while so far being only halfway through, form a continuous trilogy. The first part of the trilogy, ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'', premiered on July 14th, 2007 in Japanese theaters, and aired on February 24th, 2008 on North American televisions. The [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|second part]] premiered in Japan on July 19th, 2008, and aired on February 13th, 2009 on North American televisions.

===New sequels===
[[Image:PBRAmerican.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Pokémon Battle Revolution Box]]On December 14th, 2006, two weeks after the launch of Nintendo's [[Wii]] console, [[Generation IV]] Pokémon turned 3D in the form of {{g|Battle Revolution}}. It was released in the United States on June 25th, 2007.

The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|paired sequels for]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] for [[Nintendo DS]] were released in Japan on September 13th, 2007 and in North America on April 20th, 2008. Just like before, {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|an anime adaptation}} was also produced. It would be followed by a third version, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of the Sky]], which was released in Japan on April 18th, 2009. Just like the third versions of the main series, Explorers of the Sky had additional content. {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Another anime adaptation}} was produced as well.

{{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s were also brought into the fourth generation in a sequel called {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, set in the new land of [[Almia]]. It was released in Japan on March 20th, 2008 and in North America on November 10th, 2008. [[DP071|An anime special]] was also produced, and aired on the same day as the Japanese release.

Like with Pokémon Box in Generation III, a storage game titled [[My Pokémon Ranch]] was released on March 25th, 2008 in Japan and on June 9th, 2008 in North America, featuring the character of [[Hayley]].

The third [[version]] of [[Generation IV]], {{v|Platinum}}, was released on September 13th, 2008 in Japan and on March 22nd, 2009 in North America, bringing new [[Form differences|Pokémon forms]] into the ring for {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Rotom}}, as well as updates similar to those found in Pokémon Emerald.

==The future of Pokémon==
[[Image:GSDS_logo.png|right|thumb|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver's logos]]The history of the Pokémon media franchise already spans long over a decade, and is rich with four [[generation]]s, many [[version|main series games]], [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]], a {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, three series of {{pkmn|anime}} complete with 11 {{pkmn|movie}}s, endless {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Pokémon Live!|a musical]] and plenty of {{cat|music}}, but it is far from over.

{{game|Platinum}} has recently been released in North America, with only the PAL regions awaiting release this May, thus closing out [[Generation IV]] in regards to Sinnoh. Also, like [[Generation III]] brought about remakes for the incompatible [[Generation I]] games, a remake of the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games, {{2v|Gold|Silver}}, has been confirmed to be released for the [[Nintendo DS]] later on, now with the titles {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

The [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|last part]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} movie trilogy has already been confirmed, but little is known about it. It is set to premiere in Japanese theaters on July 18, 2009.

And of course, many believe that [[Future generations of Pokémon|Generation V]] is inevitable, and that the [[Pokémon world]] will continue to grow with it. While no official announcement has been made by the game developers, anime director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] said in an interview that there will definitely be a fifth generation of Pokémon. Regardless, only time shall tell.

[[Image:197Umbreon.png|thumb|right|One of my favorite Pokémon, [[Umbreon]]]]
Hi, I just wanted to make an account on Bulbapedia because I use it a lot and just wanted to contribute to it more! I think Bulbapedia is awesome and I'm so glad its exists. Its the best [[pokémon]] info site on the internet.

my [[Wii]] # is 7011 1023 7940 0891 if you wanted to know.

note: I know how to do some of the so called "fancy stuff" but not much so what I try to do to help is start character of the day articles and add random stuff to articles that have a lack of it. I also partake in many discussions just to voice my opinion and here what others have to think. But mainly I just press the random article button and try to find at least one thing to fix in each article.

==My First Pokemon Experience==
The first time I had ever heard of Pokemon or seen anything about it, was one morning when I was either in Kindergarten, so in late 1999. I woke up one day and went down stairs, and turned on the TV, and there was this strange show on, called pokemon. It was episode called The problem with Paras. I had no idea what it was and I thought it was pretty cool. so then sometime a little after that, me and my dad and sister went to some store (idk maybe Walmart) and bought a [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Wigglytuff]] figure package, but I didnt know what it was at the time I just thought it was cool. Then I remember I used to start getting the cards but I didnt have any card plastic sheets so I had to use a small photo album. One distinct memory for some is looking at a squitle card while I was sitting on the bottom of my stairs.

More to come later~

==GS remakes==
I dont get why they dont just make the remakes, it would be a really smart move for [[Nintendo]] and [[Game Freak]] financially because if [[Gold and Silver|GS]] was remade it would likely sell tens of millions of copies and bring back thousands of fans.

[http://youtube.com/hey1031 My Youtube account]

more to come later ^o^, when I have time... I would like to contribute here more often and stuff to.

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

It began on April 12, 2008 with the dub premiere ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]'' and, if 52 episodes are ordered, will end with [[DP104]].

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

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

It began airing on Jetix in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark on February 14th, 2009.
It will start on Jetix in Italy on March 30th, 2009. In Germany, it started to air on February 18th, 2009 on RTLII. It will start on Jetix in Spain on April 4th, 2009.

'''Phillip Bartlett''' is a voice actor for the English-language dub of the [[Pokémon anime]].

There is some speculation that Bartlett and [[Ken Gates]] are the same person. However, both were credited separately in the first movie's credits. In addition, the character of {{p|Mewtwo}} had a different voice in [[Mewtwo Returns]], but Gates still worked on the show.

==Pokémon==
Bartlett's only role in the Pokémon anime is that of Mewtwo from the first movie. He has had no other roles in the series prior to or since that point.

'''Message of the Wind''' (Japanese: '''風のメッセージ''' ''Kaze no Message'', ''Kaze no messēji'' exact) is the second ending theme of the Diamond & Pearl series. It debuted in [[DP062]], replacing the Winter version of ''[[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~‎]]''.

==Synopsis==
* The word "[[Pokémon]]" in English flashes by in different colors of the rainbow.
* The camera scrolls by the characters and their Pokémon, first {{Ash}}'s, then {{an|Dawn}}'s, then [[Brock]]'s.
* Ash throws a [[Poké Ball]], then Brock, then Dawn in a blue dress.
* The camera switches to Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} under a cherry blossom tree with some of the flowers falling off the tree and floating in the wind. Pikachu jumps on Ash and he picks Pikachu up. The two share a special moment.
* [[Zoey]] and {{si|Kenny}} are shown in front of the staircase of light. As the camera scrolls upward, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is seen on a step, and then Dawn sits on the top step in a puffy yellow dress with pink ribbons. The camera gets a close up, and her hair and the ribbons are flowing in the wind.
* Ash is shown in a Japanese cheer squad outfit, with Pikachu in a kimono holding fans and {{AP|Buizel}} with a white strand of cloth tied around his head.
* Dawn, Piplup, and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are shown in the pink cheerleading outfits from Ash's first [[Sinnoh]] gym battle against [[Roark]].
* The camera flips its view to show a crowd of [[Nurse Joy]]s and Brock running to them with a bouquet of roses. Brock gets a close up, his eyes as hearts. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} appears from behind, threatening him with a {{m|Poison Jab}}. Brock winces in pain.
* [[Jessie]] as Jessalina flies over a city at night on a broomstick, holding a lollipop that must be magical, because she uses it like a wand and casts it at [[James]], {{MTR}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and turns them into chibi versions of themselves. A much bigger chibi Jessalina appears in front of them, scaring them away.
* Ash, Brock, and Dawn are chasing a group of {{p|Butterfree}} in the sunset. The three stop at a cliff and watch the Butterfree fly away.

== So featured articles... ==

Well, our current one's been up for more than a week, so I'm wondering...

#Ought we get a new one (aka, oh... Ash?) out there?
#Should we have some sort of regular schedule to the featuring?
#Will you guys ''ever'' nominate and vote on them quickly enough to feature them weekly? Monthly? Bi-monthly? How often?
#And if not... well, when should we go back to the normal MftE? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:51, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

:I think if it's simple enough to nominate articles, then we could see more use from this. I had to dig a bit through the links to find the other nominations... would a simple "Nominate an article" link next to the "read more" and "more featured articles" links be a good idea, perhaps? We could have an article with not only a list of nominations, but some simple instructions for how to nominate. Make it more accessible. We've got plenty of articles to nominate, not enough people looking for them.
:At this rate, a once-a-month nomination might work out nicely. With more activity, I'd say nominating faster then that would be nice. I personally think having featured articles is a fun thing, MftE makes for a good news feed, but that's about it. Featured articles give the front page more... appeal. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 08:35, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

::I completely agree. Monthly featuring would work great, and it makes the main page look much better. And if on one of the months we don't have a new one, we can use [[Poké Ball]] or [[Legendary Pokémon]], since they never made it to the main page, right? And there are already many good nominees. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 08:57, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
:::So we choose the next on the 21st? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:44, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
::::We can choose the next one whenever, I'd say. Then start up a cycle starting there. It's not a big deal if Brock gets featured for a little longer or shorter then the other featured articles we'll inevitably have. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 06:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

==Move updating==
We shouldn't count Struggle, Super Glitch, Secret Power (it doesn't need the template) and Vacuum-Cut as moves, so should we subtract 4 from that? However, we SHOULD count Wide Slash as a move, because in MD it's a TM. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] 16:02, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

==The ads...==

I don't like the way they work. The ads-well, just look at them! They make this site seem less trustable, and especially since it's like "REGISTER OR BE FORCED TO LOOK AT WEIRD ADS!!!!" I like that I don't have to look at them, now I'm a member, but I don't think that this site should be sponsored by cleavage revelations. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]) 23:14, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

== Featuring ==

Why has the featured article been about Brock all the time? - [[User:FireHazard|Hazardous FIRE!]] 05:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

::The discussion's a few sections up on this page, and yep, seems to be about once-a-month. We don't really have a need to feature an article every day, besides, we'd run out of articles too quick if we did that.

==Can't create new page...==

I want to create a page for Rui Quintas and Peter Michael, our (Portugal) two James, but the way I use to create pages don't work... I have two ways: one is searching for the page, and then click on the button that says to begin that certain page. Another way I use is when the name of the page I want to create is red in another page, so I click on it and then I create the page...
However, this time, I can't create the page. Even if I put [[]] around their names, it redirects to the list of international voice actors. See for yourselves - [[Rui Quintas]]. And the same thing if I search.
Is there any other way to create pages? Or can you please resolve this little unwanted redirect, please?[[User:Portuguese Old Man|Portuguese Old Man]] 18:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
:Just go to the top of the voice actors' page and you will see the blue link. Click on it and edit it. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 19:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

:Blanking it ought to be OK (it's your page, after all). You can also slap a {{template|delete}} tag on there and let an admin get rid of it altogether.

Subject A: Probably not. We do not have 3D pictures for Colosseum and XD (even though they're already on the German PokéWiki, nor do we have 3D pictures for Battle Revolution. It would be a good thing to add 3D sprites for all 4 games if PokéWiki were competition to add sprites like such, but we're only competing against it with the select few German-speaking ''and'' English-speaking Pokémon fans.

On the subject of sprites, we're still missing (in Generation IV) few shiny Diamonds, a few Platinums, and most of the shiny Platinums. Generation III ''really'' needs sprites, as ones such as Lunatone have only Emerald. Generation II is pretty much done, save for some Crystal, and Gen I is finished.

(←outdent) I still find it kind of scary that despite all of your "use the link templates" and "do it our way" 'policies' you guys have, there is nothing about being nice to other users. I have even seen a (new?) user's talk page containing a warning about warning a "veteran" about (I think) too many mainspace edits. The response from the third-party user (ie not the "n00b" or "veteran") was "he's been around for a while and stacked up a ****-load of edits, let him do what he wants". Seriously, are there two sets of rule books here? Coz I'd like a copy of the second one! But I highly doubt I'll get that. Anyway, you "seniors and veterans" need to start to consider the fact that Bulbapedia is not just a place with infinite amounts of Pokemon (I mean, Pokémon) info; it's a community where people hang out. We would like to be respected, and offering this respect to new users and old users alike will definitely result in situations like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:TTEchidna/Archive_Nov_08_1#OBAMA this] being avoided, as well as the example I gave above, and much more that I'm sure we've all seen.

==If we be's making a move template==
I suggest instead ov the typing of the pokémon, like everywhere else, we colour the moves. An example would be, if a pokémon's level-up moves were posion jap and then water gun, it would look like this Poison jab water gun. Who agrees? [[User:Strong Intelligent|Strong Intelligent]]

:The downside of that is that is there's a few colors that are quite close. For example:
*'''Ghost'''
*'''Poison'''
*'''Dragon'''
:Unless you've got them memorized, or we stick a rather large color-key at the top of every movelist, it would be easy to confuse those three, just for one example (since they're all shades of purple).

'''Byron''' (Japanese: '''トウガン''' ''Tougan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Canalave Gym]]. He hands out the [[Mine Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Steel}} [[Pokémon]]. He is [[Roark]]'s father.

==In the anime==

According to a blog by Kazuki Yao, who will play the voice of Byron in the anime, he will appear in [[DP105]] and DP106 in a one hour special.

===Pokémon===

==In the games==
Byron uses {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the [[Mine Badge]], {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, and will be able to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Byron asked [[Riley]] to become a Gym Leader, but Riley declined because he thought Byron's son Roark should be considered first. Byron isn't surprised to find his inexperienced son lost to the protagonist, but is enthusiastic about the next generation of Pokémon trainers. Byron resolves to train harder at [[Iron Island]] to compete with younger trainers.

He apparently owns the normally deserted cabin on Iron Island. After the Elite Four, he can be found there. Speaking to him results in him chiding himself for still treating Roark like a child, then he'll give the player a [[Metal Coat]] and leave.

===Quotes===
Before battle 
''"Ah! That's Oreburgh Gym Badge! I see, I see! You've defeated my son. But that's no surprise. He still has much to learn. In place of my son Roark, I, Byron, will take your challenge!"''

After sending out last Pokémon 
''"Oh, what's this? My last one! This is where we make our stand!"''

During battle 
''"We're not done yet! There's no giving up!"''

When defeated 
''"Hmm! My sturdy Pokémon, defeated!"''

After being defeated 
''"You were strong enough to take down my prized team of Pokémon. In recognition of that power, I give you this: the Mine Badge!"''

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Byron made an appearance with his Shieldon. Roark met him at Eterna City when exploring the Underground, where they discussed something (not known yet). Roark said that his father was the unpredictable type.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===

Byron finds [[Hareta]] washed up on the shore after having been defeated by [[Cyrus]]. Byron takes Hareta in and allows him to regain his strength before putting him through a rigorous training session similar to what he put Roark through years ago. Hareta charges forward never considering his remaining strength, causing him to fail the challenge at the final stage. Byron then sends him to [[Iron Island]] to restart his training from scratch and improve his skills. He returns at the completion of Hareta's training to allow him to take his challenge again, however something terrible is happening in the distance.

==Trivia==
* Both Roark and Byron use [[Fossil]] Pokémon in Gym Battles, as well as a member of the Onix [[evolution]] line.
* He and his [[Roark|son's]] badges are references to the term Coal Mine. Plus, they both have mines in or near their respective town (Oreburgh Mine and Iron Island, which is supposed to have a mine).
* In Platinum, all of Byron's Pokémon can have the Sturdy ability.

Then that's the answer to me. Ash will get Glalie because he hardly used it in the previous Region. Just like Aipom and Phanpy. Well I'm not too sure about Phanpy...

Ash's sixth capture is a Gligar! Guess he won't be getting a Lucario after all.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 23:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

:Odds are Ash will still be getting that Riolu. As far as we're concerned, Ash will send that Gligar over to Prof. Oak's sometime between [[EP065]] and whenever [[Riley]] gives Ash the Riolu egg. Trust me, Ash doesn't have a need for a Ground-type on his current team, and the only way he would is if {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}} turned out to be Paul's starter and [[Brock]] was the one out of the group that got a Chimchar, be it Paul's or a wild one, as had been assumed by many. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
::Except Ash doesn't need a Riolu either: He already has a fighting type in the works and the steel type gives him no advantages since Ice and Rock are covered by Chimchar and Buizel respectively. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 23:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Plus, there are already three people with a Lucario, plus the move Lucario, why add in another one. The writers are surely pushing now that there will be Johto remakes. But it's good to see that no-one predicted Gligar. [[User:GlinnMgraw|Glinn]][[Image:Ani202MS.gif|32px]] 13:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

May be a Mamoswine for Ash in the future?No way, it would definitely be Rhyperior if he is to get a Ground-type for his last Gym badge but I also see that Dusknoir is useful to protect Infernape from the Psychic-types. Mamoswine is also useful to fight against Cynthia's Garchomp if he wins the Sinnoh League and defeats the Elite Four!:P-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 14:10, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

:Rhyperior=Too strong for Ash. If you didn't notice, all his Pokémon have been either a)Starters or b) Some crap Pokémon with hyper low stats.

Great! I was afraid this guy would show up! --[[User:Paul'sDialga]] (John 20:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC))

Jun might be Pearl from the game, but I feel like it shouldn't be included unless we have absolute proof, like a preview or a picture. Because it could simply be someon with the same name. You probably ask what about Gym leaders or other trainers, the difference in that case is Jun is a default name with other options, Gym Leaders and Elite Four names are set in stone. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 20:29, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
:"Jun" is as much a default name for {{ga|Pearl}} as {{Gary}} is for {{ga|Blue}}. Anyway, I think we should resist the urge to create any pages relating to this guy until the episode airs... The fact that the episode is titled based on him indicates he won't be as insignificant as a COTD, so I'm wary about putting something for "in the anime" on the article on his game counterpart (we don't have Gary's page on Blue's, do we? Exactly.), but at the same time, premature article creation based on the fact that it displays "Rival Trainer Jun"... not good either. Soooo... I'm saying let's not jump the gun here and WATCH WHAT WE PUT.
:Wouldn't doubt that Monferno or Infernape appears here, though... or even Empoleon. What's to say that this guy isn't Paul's original rival, before Ash showed up? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:06, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
After the collision between {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, {{an|Dawn}} orders {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to go in the water. {{si|Kyle}} sends {{p|Crawdaunt}} into the water as well. As Piplup and Crawdaunt charge towards each other, Dawn tells Piplup to use {{m|Whirlpool}} which takes Crawdaunt by surprise and costs Kyle points. Kyle counters telling Crawdaunt to use {{m|Surf}} which crashes down on Piplup and sends it backwards. Crawdaunt smoothly lands with Dawn to think of what to do next. Kyle tells Crawdaunt to use {{m|Dark Pulse}} which comes towards Piplup. Dawn tells Piplup to dodge and it spins in between the two Dark Pulses. Then she orders Piplup to use {{m|Bide}}. While spinning, Piplup starts to glow white, then purple from the attack. Not wanting any surprises to happen, Kyle orders a {{m|Crabhammer}} from Crawdaunt. Crawdaunt jumps in the air about to strike Piplup, but Dawn tells Piplup to release and purple light is shot at Crawdaunt. Crawdaunt gets hit, costing Kyle a lot of points. As the attack is finished, Crawdaunt falls in the water, Piplup lands, and time runs out. The screen is shown and Dawn wins the round.

[[Jessie]] interviews Dawn about her win, but then tries to take all the attention, again.

Next up is {{an|May}} and [[Zoey]]. May sends out {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and Zoey sends out {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}. May starts off telling Beautifly to use {{m|Silver Wind}} which hits Glameow effectively. Glameow takes the hit for a while before Zoey tells Glameow to jump. May orders Beautifly to use {{m|Psychic}} but Zoey tells Glameow to dodge and use {{m|Shadow Claw}}. May tells Beautifly to dodge which Beautifly does gracefully. However, Zoey anticipated that tells Glameow to hit the water. Rising water surrounds Beautifly leaving May undecided want to do next. {{Ash}} and co. comment on May and Zoey's battle so far. Zoey orders Glameow to use {{m|Shock Wave}} which bounces on the water and hits Beautifly. Ash and co. comment on Zoey's combinations. After the attack makes contact, the water is zapped away with a sparking Beautifly flying backwards. Beautifly shrugs off the electric charge and May comments, in her head, how good a coordinator Zoey is. Glameow jumps out the water sparkling with an electrical charge glaring at Beautifly. [[Wallace]] makes a statement on the battle along with Jessie, [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Zoey commands an {{m|Iron Tail}} but May counters telling Beautifly to use Silver Wind on the water. Glameow charges through the towering water with Beautifly slyly coming from behind it. May tells Beautifly to use Psychic which sends Glameow backwards. May then tells Beautifly to use {{m|Morning Sun}} and Beautifly raises up and starts to glow blindingly. After a while, the glow disperses and Dawn comments on how beautiful it looked. May tells Beautifly to use {{m|Aerial Ace}} and Zoey tells Glameow to use Shadow Claw. The two Pokémon charge at each other over the water and collide resulting in an explosion. Time runs out and May and Zoey look up to see who is the victor. May wins the round.

Dawn gets nervous about the finals and subconsciously squeezes Piplup. Ash and [[Brock]] calm down Dawn, and Zoey comes behind and tells Dawn good luck in her next match. Jessie interviews May, but once again, tries to bring all the attention upon her.

Before the battle starts, May and Dawn exchange words and good luck and report to their sides. [[Johanna]], [[Caroline]], [[Max]], [[Norman]], [[Harley]], [[Drew]], [[Drew's Roserade]], and [[Solidad]] watch as May and Dawn's battle is about to begin. Wallace says some words and the battle begins. Dawn sends out Piplup and May sends out {{TP|May|Glaceon}}, which surprises Dawn. Dawn starts off telling Piplup to use BubbleBeam. May tells Glaceon to dodge and use {{m|Secret Power}}. Glaceon glows pink and hits Piplup, which seems to be {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} for a bit. May then orders Glaceon to use {{m|Ice Shard}} which has Piplup in a spot. Dawn tells Piplup to go in the water and Glaceon looks menacing at it. Piplup jumps out of the water and Dawn orders Piplup to use Whirlpool. Despite the size of it, May isn't phased one bit and orders Glaceon to use {{m|Mirror Coat}}. The two collide but Glaceon pushes it back at Piplup which sends it flying backwards. Piplup recovers fast and Dawn tells it to use BubbleBeam. Glaceon is hit hard and May loses points. May tells Glaceon to use {{m|Shadow Ball}} but Piplup dodges with its spinning move. May is impressed but sees where Piplup will land. Before Piplup lands, May orders Glaceon to use Secret Power. Dawn tries to have Piplup land before Glaceon hits, but Glaceon is too fast. Piplup is sent spinning into the air, but Dawn uses it against May having Piplup spin gracefully and landing in a pose, which surprised both May and Glaceon. Ash, Brock, and Zoey comment on how well the two are battling. May has Glaceon use Shadow Ball and toss it in the air. Glaceon jumps and flips twice hitting the Shadow Ball with its tail giving it momentum. Dawn has Piplup use BubbleBeam which smashes through the Shadow Ball and hits Glaceon. This surprises May and impresses the judges and [[Marian]]. Dawn tells Piplup to use {{m|Peck}} but May has Glaceon dodge it and use Ice Shard. Dawn counters it by having Piplup block it with Whirlpool. Dawn then has Piplup ride the Whirlpool which gets everyones attention and applause. May tells Glaceon to use Shadow Ball and Dawn has Piplup dodge. The Shadow Ball hits the Whirlpool and becomes a huge splash of water. Dawn has Piplup use BubbleBeam and Piplup comes through the water and uses BubbleBeam. Glaceon is hit hard, again, and May tells it to use Shadow Ball. Dawn responds by using Peck. When then two attacks hit, the Shadow Ball becomes a wall of purple energy which distracts Dawn and Piplup. May tells Glaceon to use Ice Shard which hits Piplup hard. Dawn and May comment on how well the both of them are doing but won't give up. Dawn has Piplup use Whirlpool and May responds with Mirror Coat. Glaceon stands up to it for a while and eventually Glaceon and Piplup both get hit as a result. The two Pokémon are still standing after being washed back to their places and time runs out. May and Dawn look up to see who won the Cup and the victor is Dawn. The points are barely far apart, literally Dawn seems .5 ahead of May. Dawn is speechless while Glaceon lowers its head, ears, and tail. Ash stands up excited that Dawn won. May tells Glaceon that it did a good job and Glaceon cheers up a little. May whispers something to Dawn and Dawn's eyes start to get teary from happiness. Piplup jumps into Dawn's arms and the judges comment on the battle.

Wallace says his final words to Dawn and then gives the Aqua Ribbon to Dawn. Everyone claps for Dawn, she does her pose and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, Piplup, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} jump up to celebrate her win. Wallace dismisses the Cup with his {{p|Milotic}} using {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the air creating a geyser creating a glittery effect.

Everyone is off to see May go back to [[Johto]]. May and Dawn are holding hands as she is about to leave. Everyone says their goodbyes and exchange words then May leaves on the boat. She waves and says goodbye as the boat is going away and everyone responds by waving back.

The episode begins with {{Ash}} and co. walking by a lake. {{an|Dawn}} admires her new ribbon and Ash is excited for his [[DP083|next gym battle]]. A {{p|Yanma}} flies by and lands on Dawn's head. It flies over to Ash's head and Dawn checks it on her [[Pokédex]]. Yanma flies over to [[Brock]]'s head and lands briefly before flying away. A trainer named Tyler comes running and asks the gang if they'd seen a Yanma. Ash tells him it went across the lake and Tyler starts running. Ash and co. decide to follow him.

Tyler catches up with the Yanma and sends out his {{p|Piplup}}. Piplup uses {{m|Peck}} but Yanma dodges. Ash and co. arrive and the Yanma uses {{m|SonicBoom}}. Piplup is knocked backwards but gets up and uses {{m|Pound}}. Yanma dodges and uses {{m|Wing Attack}}. Piplup is knocked down and Yanma flies away. Tyler falls on his knees after his failure at catching the Yanma and Piplup feels the same way.

Ash and co. sit with Tyler and start talking. Tyler's Piplup and [[Dawn's Piplup]] begin playing and Tyler begins how he first saw a Yanma and wanted it. Dawn continues with her story of catching [[Dawn's Buneary|her first Pokémon]], and then Ash continues on with [[Ash's Caterpie|his own]]. The group decides to help Tyler catch Yanma. The group look for Yanma and [[Ash's Staravia]] flies down pointing its wing to where it is. Tyler and Piplup prepare to battle. Piplup makes the first move with {{m|Bubble}} which Yanma dodges. Piplup goes on to use Peck which makes contact with Yanma. Piplup uses Pound and hits Yanma again. Yanma flies up and charges at Piplup with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Piplup charges with Peck and Yanma is sent backwards seeming unable to battle further. Tyler is ready to throw a [[Poké Ball]], but Team Rocket comes up from the lake and performs their motto. [[Jessie]] throws a Poké Ball and captures Yanma without any effort. The group is shocked and Team Rocket leaves. Tyler is sad and falls on his knees again.

Piplup comes out of the water, not finding Team Rocket's Magikarp submarine. Tyler remains sad but Ash encourages him and telling him not to give up. Dawn and Brock exchange words with Tyler and he regains his confidence. Another Yanma flies by and everyone agrees that Tyler can catch this one.

Team Rocket are excited to see what [[Giovanni]] will do when they give him Yanma. They meet up with [[Delibird (Team Rocket)|Team Rocket's Delibird]] and give it Yanma's Poké Ball. Team Rocket, in tears for their first capture, waves at an equally shocked Delibird, as it flies off.

The group is searching for the Yanma but have no luck. They set up a table and Ash shows Tyler his badges and Dawn shows him her ribbons. Tyler is impressed with them and becomes inspired to catch Yanma.

Team Rocket is sleeping and Jessie, [[James]], and {{MTR}} are thinking about what the boss will say, believing he'll be happy with Yanma. Meanwhile, Giovanni receives Jessie's Yanma and checks it's attacks on his laptop. One of the grunts reports that Team Rocket has recently captured a large number of Yanma, and therefore there is no need for the Yanma they've just received. Giovanni is asked what he wants to do with the Yanma...

The next day the group is ready to catch Yanma and Brock has set up Pokémon food for it. Team Rocket is freshening up and Delibird returns. It gives them Yanma back without telling them what it is. They open the box and see it's a Poké Ball. Meowth thinks Giovanni has sent them a new, powerful Pokémon which makes his, James's, and Jessie's eyes sparkle imagining the Poké Ball containing a {{p|Lucario}} or a {{p|Rampardos}}. Jessie throws the Poké Ball only to have Yanma come out. Jessie is disappointed and Meowth and James are surprised. Jessie and James start crying as they find Giovanni is too kind to them that he doesn't want to take away Yanma from them. They decide to catch another Yanma for him in return.

Meanwhile Tyler's Piplup uses Peck on another Yanma and knocks it out. Ash tells him to throw a Poké Ball. Tyler is about to, but Team Rocket steps in front of the Yanma. Jessie sends out her Yanma. and Ash sends out {{AP|Chimchar}}. Yanma uses Steel Wing but Chimchar dodges and uses {{M|Flamethrower}}. Team Rocket shouts out and Meowth uses {{M|Fury Swipes}} on Chimchar. James sends out {{TP|James|Carnivine}} which {{m|bite}}s him on the head as usual. James throws Carnivine and Carnivine uses {{M|Bullet Seed}}. Yanma uses {{m|SonicBoom}} and Chimchar dodges both the attacks. While in midair, Chimchar uses {{M|Flame Wheel}} and hits both Carnivine and Yanma. Jessie is shocked but Yanma recovers and uses {{m|AncientPower}}. Chimchar is hit but recovers quick. Yanma glows white and begins to [[evolve]]. Jessie and Meowth are surprised and Yanma becomes a {{p|Yanmega}}. Dawn checks out Yanmega on her Pokédex and Yanmega uses SonicBoom. Power and momentum are on Yanmega's side and Chimchar is hit and sent flying back. Yanmega shoots several more SonicBooms at the group knocking them all off their feet. Team Rocket is happy that they beat the twerps but the wild Yanma gets up and flies away. Team Rocket notice and recall their Pokémon. They set off after the Yanma.

Team Rocket is looking for Yanma and excited about Jessie's new Yanmega. It annoys her, however, when it comes out of its Poké Ball and lands on her head. James checks a card to see what new Pokémon they've obtained. They are convinced that it was Giovanni to teach Yanma AncientPower to evolve it (though Yanma already knew AncientPower when Giovanni recieved it). They decide to capture thousands of Yanma with the help of Yanmega for him in return.
Brock sets out the Pokémon food again and another Yanma takes the bait. Tyler's Piplup starts the battle with Pound and hits Yanma. Team Rocket appears and Ash sends out {{AP|Buizel}}. Jessie has Yanmega use AncientPower, but Buizel dodges and uses {{m|Aqua Jet}}. Yanmega gets hit then Buizel continues with a SonicBoom. Yanmega is thrown backwards and Ash finishes it off with {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Team Rocket is sent blasting off and out of sight.

Meanwhile, Yanma is eating the Pokémon food and Tyler's Piplup uses Bubble. Yanma dodges and uses Steel Wing. Piplup dodges and Yanma goes over the lake. Piplup goes into the lake and swims to gain on Yanma. When it catches up, Piplup uses Peck and hits Yanma. Yanma responds with SonicBoom but Piplup goes back in the lake dodging it. Piplup comes back out of the lake and uses Bubble which hits Yanma directly. Piplup does one more Peck and Yanma falls. Tyler throws a Poké Ball but Yanma pops out. However, Tyler doesn't give up and Piplup uses Peck once more. Tyler throws the Poké Ball again and captures Yanma. Tyler does a pose like Ash and Dawn whenever they catch a Pokémon. Tyler's Piplup dances as Dawn's Piplup congratulates it. Tyler thanks Ash and co. for all their help. The day is near over, and Tyler is about to separate from Ash and his friends. The group exchanges words, Brock gives Tyler some of his Pokémon food, and Tyler leaves. Ash and co. continue on to [[Pastoria City]]...

==Trivia==
* This episode has a similar premise to the episode ''[[EP177|Wings n' Things]]'', though in that episode the younger Trainer wanted to ''re''capture {{p|Yanma}}.
* This is one of the very few episodes in which Team Rocket successfully capture a Pokémon for [[Giovanni]], although he sends it back to them. However, Yanma was a wild Pokémon at the time of capture, so it hadn't been stolen.
*Jessie capturing {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}} after someone else weakened it echoes how she captured her {{TP|Jessie|Shellder}} (although in that case, it was James and his {{TP|James|Weezing}} that weakened the Pokémon).
*Yanma is captured and evolves in this episode. The only other main character's Pokémon to do this is [[Ash's Caterpie]], who is referred by Ash in this episode. [[Ash's Primeape]] also evolved in its debut episode, though in that case, it evolved prior to being captured.
*Two background tracks from ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' are used as music for this episode.
*This episode is one of the few episodes since its trade in which [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] does not appear.
*During the second encounter with Team Rocket, ''[[Face Forward Team Rocket!]]'' was played.
*This episode contains flashbacks to ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'' and ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', the first captures of Ash and Dawn. Brock's [[Brock's Zubat|first capture]], which happened in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', is not recalled, possibly because he didn't start traveling as a rookie and the capture was never seen on-screen in the first place. Alternatively, a flashback showing the circumstances under which Brock obtained {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} could have been shown, yet it wasn't.
[[Image:AshCaterpiesinnoh.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Butterfree|Ash's Caterpie]]]]
*This was one of the few times Meowth fought alongside Jessie's and James's Pokémon, using {{m|Fury Swipes}} on Ash's Chimchar. Meowth normally fights alone or with Jessie and James.
*Instead of [[Professor Oak]]'s Pokémon lecture, the end of the episode featured a memorial to ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. This is part of a countdown to ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]''.
*This episode marks the first time one of the main character's previous Pokémon got a design change from its original appearance to the updated Sugimori art ([[Ash's Caterpie]]'s mouth is green, as Caterpie have in the official art from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, while Caterpie's mouth was yellow in the original episode).
*The dub title is loosely based on the phrase "the gift that keeps on giving".
*This is one of the rare episodes where the ''TO BE CONTINUED...'' sign appears on the top-right corner of the screen.
*Pippy's name is similar to {{p|Clefairy}}'s Japanese name, except Clefairy's Japanese name is spelled with an "I" instead of a "Y" (''Pippi'').
*[[Ed Paul]] (who went under the name of Ted Lewis under [[4Kids]]) reprises his role as [[Giovanni]], making him the first returning voice actor to regain one of his roles since the dubbing of the show switched from 4Kids to [[PUSA]].
*This episode, along with [[DP081|the next episode]], is rather infamous for a hoax put up on [[Pokéani]] in regards to episode titles and summaries, which Bulbanews fell for. DP080's hoax summary was that May/Dawn (whoever won against each other) got to battle Wallace, and they also had to stop an out of control Yanmega.

===Errors===
*Ash is angry that Team Rocket would be so cruel as to steal a trainer's first-captured Pokémon. However, Tyler hadn't captured the [[Jessie's Yanmega|Yanma]] in question, so it technically was never his.
*Before the second battle with Team Rocket, Tyler's Yanma is knocked out. However, at the end of the battle, Yanma is back at the food stand completely recovered.
*During the second battle with Team Rocket, Brock's food stand disappears.

'''Chim - Charred!''' (Japanese: '''灼熱のヒコザル!''' ''The Scorching {{tt|Hikozaru|Chimchar}}!'') is the 81st episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. It aired in Japan on May 29, 2008 and in the United States on October 25, 2008.

Ash and co. are running after Gligar who has been blown away by a gust, and promptly run into Paul. After a huge argument about their different ways of treating Pokémon, Ash challenges Paul to a battle...

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==

The episode begins with {{Ash}} facing off against {{an|Dawn}} in a training match, while [[Brock]] and his Pokémon watch on. Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Buizel}}, and {{AP|Turtwig}}, while Dawn commands {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{AP|Staravia}}, and {{AP|Chimchar}}.

After the training session, {{AP|Gligar}} gets excited and hugs Ash, but ends up knocking him down. Brock offers a training match of his {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} against Ash's Gligar, to calm its excitement.

Before they can start, a strong wind blows Gligar onto [[Team Rocket]]'s air balloon, sending them flying.

The scene changes to [[Paul]] and his {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} shocking a wild {{p|Drapion}}, in an attempt to catch it. This fails, however, as Ash's Gligar falls from the sky, right in front of Paul and the Drapion escapes. Ash's Staravia leads Ash and co. to Gligar...and Paul.

Paul brings up Ash's performance in the [[Wallace Cup]], and Ash defends himself by saying he entered under [[Wallace]]'s recommendation, and that he saw it as a chance to help his Pokémon to become stronger. Paul retorts that's exactly why Ash criticised him for entering the [[Hearthome City]] Tag Battle Tournament which just makes Ash angry who responds that Paul only entered the Tag Battle Tournament so that he could force his Pokémon to become stronger while Ash entered to win. He criticizes Paul, saying that while they both share the dream of winning the [[Sinnoh League]] and challenging [[Cynthia|Champion Cynthia]] their training methods couldn't be more different and Ash raises his Pokémon with love and trust. They reflect on Cynthia's helpful advice back at [[Amity Square]]. Ash is determined to show Paul he's a good trainer and asks for a battle, however Paul begins to walk away from Ash and co. Chimchar (who previously even after being released still felt fear of it's old master) runs after Paul and yells at him. This seems to amuse Paul who reconsiders Ash's offer for a battle.

It's decided the match will be three-on-three. Dawn uses the Coin Toss option on her [[Pokétch]]. Ash wins the toss and asks his Pokémon which one wants to battle, to which Gligar can't volunteer quick enough. Ash agrees and allows Gligar to participate in it's first proper battle. Paul responds by choosing his {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}}, and Gligar is very nervous about facing it's evolved form.

The battle begins and Ash's Gligar uses {{m|X-Scissor}}. Gliscor pounds back with {{m|Knock Off}}. Gligar keeps attacking, but Gliscor seems impervious to his attacks. Gliscor then uses {{m|Guillotine}} and slams Gligar into the ground, knocking Gligar out. Paul tells Ash that it's a good time for Gligar to learn that being defeated in battle in all the trainer's fault, which Ash's Pokémon don't take kindly to.

Paul sends out his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} next. Ash's Chimchar volunteers to fight next. The battle begins with Chimchar's {{m|Flamethrower}}. Ursaring uses {{m|Focus Blast}}. Chimchar uses Dig. Ursaring uses {{m|Hammer Arm}} on the ground, unearthing Chimchar and knocking him into the air. Chimchar dives down with a Flame Wheel, but Ursaring catches him. Ursaring uses {{m|Secret Power}} at close range. Due to the mysterious power of Ursaring's Secret Power attack, Chimchar is [[flinch]]ing and can't attack. Despite encouragement from Ash and co., Ursaring uses Hammer Arm on Chimchar, burying him in a pile of rubble. Chimchar emerges in a flaming fury, having accessed {{a|Blaze}}, although it's not like any Blaze anyone's seen before. Paul notes that Chimchar is finally awake, as this is the power he was trying to unlock all along. Brock suggests that Chimchar is trying his best to defeat Paul, and has accessed Blaze due to the encouragement from Ash and the other Pokémon. Ursaring is ordered to use another Focus Blast, however Chimchar's Flame Wheel smashes through it and collides with Ursaring knocking it out.

Even though it won the battle, Chimchar's fury appears to be rising. Ash tells Chimchar it's time to stop, however Chimchar instead powers up another Flame Wheel and charges at Ash who is able to get out of the way. Chimchar then goes for Paul who is able to narrowly avoid being hit. Now Chimchar is bouncing all around, setting fire to the forest, as well as sending Team Rocket blasting off. Dawn's Piplup uses {{m|Whirlpool}} to put out the fires, while Ash's Buizel backs it up with {{m|Water Gun}}. Chimchar is now completely uncontrollable and attempts to get away, however he is blocked by Ash who begs Chimchar to stop. Chimchar's escape then blocked by Pikachu then Piplup, Buizel, Turtwig and Staravia causing Chimchar's fury to grow. Ash, knowing he needs to stop Chimchar here and now, grabs the Chimp Pokémon and holds him close and screams at him to stop, but Chimchar shows no sign of calming and bites him in the shoulder causing Ash intense pain. Dawn and the other Pokémon move to help Ash, but Brock and Pikachu stop them knowing Ash is able (and needs) to handle this alone. The intense heat caused by Chimchar begins to hurt Ash, but he refuses to let go and keeps begging Chimchar to stop. Eventually, under Ash's encouraging words, Chimchar finally calms down and regains control.

Chimchar is once again terrified, this time of Ash's anger, but Ash compliments Chimchar on it's power, and says that he believes in Chimchar's power. Paul however asks what Ash will do the next time Chimchar ends up accessing Blaze, and if he will ever be able to control it. Ash believes Chimchar has the ability to handle the power it possesses. The rest of Ash and Paul's battle is called off, and Paul tells Ash he's a fool to believe that Chimchar can handle Blaze. Brock mentions that trainers need to trust their feelings, and that Chimchar's ability to control itself will have a massive effect on Ash's future in the Sinnoh League.

The episode ends with Ash embracing Chimchar and Paul walking away, both knowing that the two will battle again someday...

==Major events==

** [[Ash's Gligar]] is defeated by [[Paul's Gliscor]].
** [[Ash's Chimchar]] defeats [[Paul's Ursaring]], and the battle ends in a draw.

==Trivia==
*[[Jessie's Yanmega]] was added to the Japanese opening.
*At the end of the episode music from ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' can be heard playing in the background. This could reference the fact that the memorial at the end of the [[DP082|next episode]] was to ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew''.
*The [[DP082|next episode]] preview is narrated by Brock.
*Instead of [[Professor Oak]]'s Pokémon lecture, the end of the episode featured a memorial to ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. This is part of a countdown to ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]''.
*As of this episode, the opening animation that accompanies [[Together]] and Together2008 has been used in more episodes than [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]'s original accompanying animation, making it the anime's longest-used opening animation, but ''not'' the anime's longest used opening theme, an honor which Aim to Be a Pokémon Master still holds.
*This episode, along with [[DP080|the previous episode]], is rather infamous for a hoax put up on [[Pokéani]] in regards to episode titles and summaries, which Bulbanews fell for. This episode's hoax summary involved Mamoswine, and was speculated by the fans to be the episode where Dawn captures Swinub.
*When Ash was training with Dawn the music from the battle with [[Red (game)|Red]] in the Generation II games was playing in the background.

===Errors===
*Like in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'' and ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', Buizel's eye is colored the same as his {{m|Water Gun}}. The fact that this happened several times indicates that the animators use the same sequence in each episode.
