== Evolution Chain Standardisation ==

The references to how a Pokémon evolves and into what creature is unstandardised across every species article. I propose that we create a section for each species page with the evolutionary chains of that particular species. Such standardisation would make navigation simple, as well as a give a way to describe exactly how the Pokémon evolves in each case.

: The style used at the {{p|Beldum}} article series is the standard. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 21:02, 25 December 2005 (CST)

::And for forked evolutions (such as {{p|Poliwhirl}}) see the {{p|Clamperl}} family.[[User:User142|User142]] 00:11, 26 December 2005 (CST)

:::That's only for the two-way forks with two or three-stage chains. For Eevee, use vertical layout - Eevee on one row, the rest on the next row.

== Real people Japanese names==
What is the policy regarding names of Japanese real people?

There doesn't appear to be one, so I will show a proposal.

As we all know, in Japan the last name goes before the given name, BUT in the U.S. the names are usually switched.

So to reflect both naming orders, I would like to use this convention:

"Junichiro Koizumi (Japanese: 小泉純一郎, Koizumi Jun'ichirō, born January 8, 1942)"

Now, with historical figures, there is usually no need to repeat the Japanese order unless macrons are involved:
"Tokugawa Ieyasu (previously spelled Iyeyasu); 徳川家康"

Also I would like to have a page on here that explains Japanese naming conventions.

Perhaps [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]] and [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] should be at the top of each episode's Pokémon list along with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)]], as they (have) appeared in every episode their trainers made an appearance in since their capture (with the exception of Togepi, which evolved and left). --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 00:27, 18 September 2005 (CDT)

:It's hard to say yes or no to these cases. Pokeani gives those two their own articles. The same argument could potentially apply to [[James's Chimecho]]. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 03:13, 18 September 2005 (CDT)

:I'd argue that they do deserve to be named simply on the basis that they are featured, and they all do play a significant role in the anime in general. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 08:03, 18 September 2005 (CDT)

----------------
For things both in the games and in the anime, do we want something like what I've done for [[Bill|Bill's page]] to be the standard? If so, should we incorporate that setup into the Manual of style?

== Individual Pokémon vs. Pokémon species? ==

That seems to be the best, if not most thorough, format.

I have another issue to bring up, though. Do you think it's important to define the difference between individual Pokémon and Pokémon species in the Manual of Style? For instance, EVs, IVs, and so on are characteristics of individual Pokémon, while base stats, types, and so on are characteristics of Pokémon species. If so, perhaps an article called "Pokémon specie" might be created, and links in articles referring to Pokémon species, not individual Pokémon, might lead to it. It could look like this:

---------------
A Pokémon specie is a "kind" of [[Pokémon]], such as {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Zubat}}. Pokémon of certain species can change into some other species by [[evolution|evolving]], such as a Bulbasaur evolving into an {{p|Ivysaur}}.

Oftentimes, a specie's name can refer to an individual Pokémon of that species instead. For instance, "Bulbasaur is a Grass-type" refers to the Bulbasaur specie, but "Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip" refers to a single Bulbasaur. In the [[National Dex|National ID]] system, they are numbered from 1 to 151.

Initially when the [[Pokémon Red|Red]], [[Pokémon Green|Green]] (in Japan only), [[Pokémon Blue|Blue]], and [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]] versions were released, there were 151 Pokémon species.

When the [[Pokémon Gold|Gold]], [[Pokémon Silver|Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]] versions were released, 100 more species were added, making a total of 251.

When the [[Advanced Generation]] games were released, 135 more species were added, making a total of 386.

Currently, two species from the fourth generation have been officially revealed to the public, {{p|Munchlax}} and {{p|Lucario}} (Japanese name).

-----------------

It might also be useful to disambiguate this in the [[Pokémon]] article, talking about how the term "Pokémon" might refer to Pokémon species (Charmander is a Fire-type Pokémon), individual Pokémon (Pokémon which receive 4 Attack EVs have their Attack stat increase by 1), or the franchise (Pokémon was first conceptualized by Satoshi Tajiri).

---------------

== Pokémon anime characters articles standarization ==
We've got two styles for articles in [[:Category:Anime characters (Pokémon)]] to refer back to the main article of the Pokémon in general. One's found on [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Meowth (Team Rocket)]], and [[Jigglypuff (anime)]], where it has on the top an "Unnamedpokemon" template pointing the main Pokémon's article to people right off the bat. The other's on pages like [[Brock's Bonsly]], [[Ash's Butterfree]], and [[Mewtwo (anime)]], where it mentions the main Pokémon's article down at the bottom in the "Related articles" section.

They both have their advantages - I mean, the first one makes it very easy for someone to find the article on the Pokémon's species since it's right there at the top rather than way down at the bottom, while on the other hand the second is better adapted to Pokémon which have evolved, as on the article for Ash's Butterfree.

It's bothering me that both styles exist - can we standardize them? Which style is better? Should we make alternate Unnamedpokemon templates for Pokémon with multiple stages, and switch all the Pokémon anime characters articles to it? Or should we ditch the Unnamedpokemon template completely, and change all the articles which use it to having the "Related articles" reference? Or should we go for some third style that trumps the other two completely?

Personally, I'm more in favor of the Unnamedpokemon template - it looks better to me, and the only problem with it could be fixed pretty easily, I think. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 22:22, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

The style used in Unnamedpokemon is more suitable when a user may have arrived at that article by mistake (via redirect, for example, or by lack of a disambiguation page). Such a thing should be present, for example, on [[Battle Frontier]] and not [[Battle Frontier (song)]]. But that doesn't seem likely here, not since we abandoned the idea of redirecting [[Pikachu]] to [[Ash's Pikachu]]. The related articles style seems better. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 02:18, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

== British vs. American spelling? ==

I don't know where to ask this, so I'll just ask it here.
Which English spelling does Bulbapedia prefer? I have found some pages that use British spelling (ex: colour, defence), while others use American spelling (ex: color, defense). I'm American, so I'm more accustomed to the the latter.
Does it matter at all, or should they just be left as is? -[[User:Ringtails|Ringtails]] 04:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:I'd say leave the British/American spelling as-is, as in, don't edit an article just to change the spelling to the other one. Remember, though, both are correct, so we should have a redirect from [[Alternate colour]] if we don't already... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 04:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:Standardise article titles on American spelling, and have consistency within an article. As he says though, don't edit an article just to change the spelling from one to another. (It can lead to revert wars.) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 07:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
::In the cases where something is spelt the same in American and British versions (which I think is all cases where something is written down) then we should use that spelling. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 18:37, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Last time I checked the games and the anime are translated in the United States. So I personally think American English should be used. True that most English-speaking countries use British English officially (I know that not all countries besides US do that) but most English-language countries use the American translation of the anime, and as far as I know, the games are officially translated in the United States. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since [[Pokémon Center]] isn't very often referred to as [[Pokémon centre]] I have a feeling most English-speaking countries use the American translations. I also think so because the games/anime use feet/miles. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 13:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

== Pokedex style ==

Was goin through pokedex info and revising today when I realized, The European version probably differs from the American version. Not only that, but the Height, Weight and Species information have had some inconsistencies with the game I am going by. (Pokemon Pearl, Us Version). Who's to say which is the correct version? I suggest two pokedex catagories, US and UK. What is your view on this? --[[User:Dekubobo|Dekubobo]] 14:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
:I don't understand. Why would there be a difference? And D/P won't be released in Europe for another two months so how can it affect things now?
:On a more helpful note, I am planning to get a European copy so I'll be able to help compare the versions at the time. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 18:32, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
::Believe me, we've missed a lot when it comes to updating each Pokémon's page-- and with 493, who wouldn't? I still find Pokémon with their Sinnoh Dex number listed as "?", so I'd not doubt that some of the DP dex entries are translated from the Japanese versions, and the same for the species.
::I don't see why, either, there'd be a difference in the dex entries between Europe and the US, unless it's the German translation or something. The UK version, I'm betting, will be exactly the same as the US version, though maybe instead it'll use meters and kilograms instead of feet/inches and pounds. Don't see much else to change, though... Not with any reason, at least. English is English. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 19:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

== Gyms and Badges ==
I just wondered how we should go about these, once and for all:
* [[Gym]] or gym? Pokémon Gym or Pokémon gym? (consider Official Pokémon League-sanctioned Gym)
* [[Badge]] or badge? Gym Badge or Gym badge? Boulderbadge, Boulder Badge or Boulder badge? It seems to vary by generation, but it's strange to see Boulderbadge and then Coal Badge on the same page.

Badges are technically items (see Escape Rope) but what about individually? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 18:46, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
:Well, in RBYGSCRSEFRLG, they were typed as BOULDERBADGE, CASCADEBADGE, and so on. After all, you know how previously we had the move {{m|AncientPower}} as Ancientpower, because it was written in all caps so we didn't know the intended spelling... I'd say we oughta go with what DP says, including the instruction book.

:And it says... unless it's a specific badge, it's not capitalized. There are eight Pokémon League Badges: the Coal Badge, the Forest Badge, and so on. If you have a badge it proves you've defeated a Gym Leader. Pokémon Gym seems to be a different case. It's Leader or Gym Leader, Gym or Pokémon Gym.

:We might have to wait for a GS remake to be for sure about the old badges taking on the same style as the Sinnoh ones... but eh, it's a wiki, everything can be undone if that's the case. I'd personally say keep the separate, both capitalized rule for badge names, and do them ALL that way, since it's not only consistent, but very likely that that's what was meant originally.

:So. Recap: Gym over gym, Pokémon Gym over Pokémon gym, badge over Badge, unless it's a specific badge like the Boulder Badge, Zephyr Badge, Stone Badge, or Coal Badge, or named as an official Pokémon League Badge. That's my take on things, at least, I say it all depends if Pie and Argy agree, they're the Style Editors.

== New Move Template ==

:The number is divided into three groups of two digits: the first represents red, the second green, the third blue. It functions on the principle of [[wikipedia:additive color|additive color]]. Furthermore, the numbers are in [[wikipedia:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]; the maximum value of each of the three primary colours, FF, equals to 255 in decimal (our number system).

== Voice actors? ==

Okay, this is getting insane. Yes, I know Pokémon's been translated and dubbed into nearly every world language... but we can't just keep adding the people who voice Ash in every single dub. That's making an entire paragraph to itself! From his page as it stands:

"His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 Rica Matsumoto, his English voice actresses are Veronica Taylor (4Kids Entertainment dub) and Sarah Natochenny (Pokémon USA/TAJ Productions dub), his Brazilian voice actor is Fábio Lucindo, his Italian voice actor is Davide Garbolino, and his Spanish voice actors are Adolfo Moreno (Spain) and Gabriel Ramos (Latin America). In the first dub of The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon he was voiced by Jamie Peacock."

Honestly? I think a reduction to just English and Japanese would be fine. It's great that we have the vocal talents of so many individuals in so many languages, but really, seriously, do we need to list them ''all''? We have the [[list of voice actors]], we could even link to that! Perhaps even expand the list to include other not-so-minor characters like Elite Four members and Gym Leaders. But on a character's page, spending an entire paragraph listing off every VA they've ever had in every language is just insane.

...speaking of which, the list of VAs needs to be reorganized. I say put those who voice in EP languages first, since they're far more likely to a: have an article over on ''their'' wiki so we don't have to just make a stub here, and b: I believe people would be more interested in seeing who does so in the languages of the wikis we affiliate with. The biggest problem I see is that it's huge table × huge table.

Anyway. THOUGHTS?! '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 18:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

== Form vs Forme ==

Speaking of which, why are we using the latter version? Shouldn't we be using that which is more grammatically correct? I have no idea where "forme" came from, did someone mistranslate an official source and everyone latched on to that afterwards? [[User:Frugali|Frugali]] 06:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

No, "Forme" is the official name for that, for example, Deoxys' forms in Pokémon.com Dex are written as "Normal Forme", "Speed Forme", "Defense Forme", "Attack Forme". I think they will use this for Shaymin and Giratina too --[[User:Nick.|Nick.]] 06:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

:"Forme" is completely wrong. Someone misinterpreted a Japanese source as being an official spelling. Anything spelling it as "forme" is wrong. This whole "forme" bull**** will simply blow over with no damage done. The new form of Giratina will be known as the "Origin Form" in America, and by then this whole "forme" argument will have been long since forgotten. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:14, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

== Anime Pokémon links ==

Why should we link to redirects with anime Pokémon links? For example, if we wanted to talk about [[Ash's Grotle]] when it was a {{p|Turtwig}}, why should we link to [[Ash's Turtwig]] instead of Ash's Grotle? We could always do it like this:

<code><nowiki>[[Ash's Grotle|Turtwig]]</nowiki></code>

Or like this:

<code><nowiki>[[Ash's Grotle|Ash's Turtwig]]</nowiki></code>

See? We can say "Ash's Turtwig" and avoid a redirect link. So, why should we link to redirects with anime Pokémon? [[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 16:09, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

== Quick question ==

When quoting a line from the games, should I copy it letter for letter or should I reformat it to meet the style standards? Example: "Hey! You have POKéMON! Come on! Let's battle'em!" Should I remove the all-caps on "POKéMON"? This would, of course, apply to almost every proper noun quoted in the early RPGs ("TEAM ROCKET", "FISSURE", "CASCADEBADGE"). And should I render the last words as "battle'em" or "battle 'em" (with the space) or "battle'em [sic]"? Thanks for the help. --[[User:MaskedFalcon|MaskedFalcon]] 14:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Why exactly are the TCG terms frowned upon (e.g. basic Pokémon, 1st stage Pokémon etc.)? They seem less cumbersome than the (fan-made) terms 1st evolution, 2nd evolution etc. The article states that the problem was that Pikachu would be a basic Pokémon by TCG standards and yet has already evolved once...and what? I always took "Basic" to mean an unevolved Pokémon, ''excluding'' evolutions from the baby stage. I mean, I'm not a proper TCG fan but that seems to be the relationship between Basic & Baby Pokémon.

This says that the plural form of all Pokémon names are the same as their singular forms. However, in [[EP001]], [[Ash]] uses "Spearows" as the plural for "{{p|Spearow}}" when referring to the flock that is chasing both himself and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]. {{unsigned|Mangaman13}}
:That's called an error. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 00:16, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

== Words with multiple spellings ==

Does Bulbapedia have any guidelines for words with multiple spellings that are equally correct, such as "canceled" and "cancelled"? [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 23:25, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
:Whichever is used in the Pokémon games should be used (US English is the default). In [https://iimarckus.org/dumps/dred.txt R][https://iimarckus.org/dumps/dblue.txt B][https://iimarckus.org/dumps/dyellow.txt Y], [https://iimarckus.org/dumps/dcrystal.txt C], [https://iimarckus.org/dumps/druby.txt RS], [https://iimarckus.org/dumps/dfirered.txt FRLG] and HGSS, "canceled" is used (other games not checked, but that much consistency indicates other games also likely do so). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:03, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

== Oxford Comma ==

What's Bulbapedia's policy on the Oxford Comma? -- [[User:EnosShayrem|EnosShayrem]][[User_talk:EnosShayrem|talk]] 01:58, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
:Could have sworn this was already there (but it's not). Usage of the serial comma is generally preferred. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:48, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

== Plural ==

Because "persons" is the wrong plural, will anyone change the plural to "people"? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 04:14, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
:It is not necessarily wrong. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:49, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

== Verb Tense ==

Should articles be written in the past or present verb tense? [[Delia Ketchum|This article]]'s plot summary switches between the two and it's not clear which one should be used. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 19:06, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
:While I've seen it done both ways, articles should definitely not be switching between the two. I noticed that neither this or the [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Anime|Anime Manual of Style]] mentioned the preferred tense. I'll talk to {{u|Kenji-girl}} and the other Editorial Board members about getting this added. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:17, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

== ''x'' is a ''y''-type ==

In a {{m|Sandstorm}}'s {{DL|Weather|Gates to Infinity descriptions}}, it states "the {{color|{{blue color light}}|Sp. Def}} of {{tt|Rock types|note the lack of a hyphen}} goes up.". This would mean that things like "Charmander is a {{type|Fire}}" are incorrect, but things like "{{p|Charmander}} is a {{t|Fire|Fire type}}" '''are''' correct. In this case, "Fire type"/"Fire-type" is a noun anyway. You don't say adjectives after "is a(n)", you use nouns (e.g. "He is a runner" instead of "He is a running"). [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 15:44, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
:You are almost entirely correct and in agreement with the "Nouns, capitalization, and specific terminology" section of the MoS. The only issue is that you said "Fire-type" is a noun, when it is not; it's exclusively an adjective, which is why "Charmander is Fire-type" is correct but "Charmander is a Fire-type" is incorrect. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:15, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

== Spelling/numerals for numbers ==

I more or less understand that this site is supposed to follow a "professional" style. However, I think judicious exceptions should be made for the fact that people ''do'' use Bulbapedia as a FAQ/walkthrough kind of resource. One of my pet peeves is the idea of "always" spelling out low numbers. IMO, numbers are often important pieces of information and deserve highlighting as numerals so they're easy for users to spot and focus on in the text.

In particular, I simply hate cases where [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Berry_fields&diff=2111240&oldid=2111236 a number can change] based on circumstances, and in one of those circumstances the number is low and "should" be spelled out while in the other it's higher and "can" be in numerals; doing it like that makes it more difficult than it needs to be to pick out the different cases (I know immediately where the higher number is, but have no idea where the lower one is - possibly even that there ''is'' a lower number).

Basically, my question is this: is the spelling out of low numbers (currently) a hard rule that should be followed on Bulbapedia, or is it flexible? And if it is (currently) a rule to follow, could the possibility of allowing exceptions be considered?

[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:44, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
:It turns out Wikipedia advocates using a single style for "comparable" numbers, as seen in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Numbers Numbers section] of their Manual of Style (the third bullet point below "Notes and exceptions"). This is basically the special situation I described above. We could certainly do worse than to follow Wikipedia's example... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:19, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
::If this question has caught staff attention, might someone be so kind as to at least say as much? I really want to know the answer to this question, and I hate [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Berry_fields&curid=185740&diff=2112758&oldid=2112750 when people can only say] we "usually" spell out small numbers. "Usually" does not strictly indicate a well-considered conclusion. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:29, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

I don't know what stylebooks Bulbapedia tends to go by, as it seems kind of based on admins' whimsy, but for what it's worth, the relevant passages from the AP Stylebook: "'''Numerals''' In general, spell out one through nine ... Use figures for 10 and above ... Times: Spell out numbers less than 10 standing alone and in modifiers: ''I'll be there in five minutes. ... An eight-hour day. The two-minute warning.''" APA [http://www.una.edu/writingcenter/docs/Writing-Resources/The%20Rules%20Regarding%20the%20Use%20Numerals%20in%20APA%20and%20MLA%20styles.pdf agrees with AP] that it should be one through nine spelled out, 10 and above in figures. MLA (same link as APA) agrees with you that parallel units should use parallel writing styles. I can't find a solid source on Chicago style, but Googling seems to suggest that it spells out everything from 99 and below, which is completely against Bulbapedia style (as virtually any pageview can make clear) so that's a moot point. Strunk and White don't seem to have a specific rule about it in ''The Elements of Style'', so that's another moot point. Those are all the major professional stylebooks I can think of. Just throwing all this information out there so the staff has more data with which to make an informed decision. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:17, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
:As for my view, there are some places where spelling out small numbers will look awkward. Examples include levels, quantities marked as "x#", route numbers, and card numbers. Also, I agree there has to be parallel writing styles; otherwise, a page may appear confusing as to what style is best. I'll see what the rest of the staff thinks. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 15:25, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
::I pretty much agree with the above as far as for a general rule of thumb, one through nine should be spelt out, ten and higher should use figures. However I'm also a bit flexible on this rule and wouldn't mind to see that number extended up to twenty, this is with stand alone numbers of course. When it comes to the nitty gritty though, WP:MOSNUM is a good stand in as a professional resource. This isn't to say as stated by Berrenta there are exceptions to the rule, we aren't going to go around changing Route 1 to Route One and we aren't going to change XY001 to XYOne. Some instances just have to work off a case by case basis, as far as the Berry Fields page, I agree the numbers should be in numeral form as we spell out 24, as in line with point three in WP:MOSNUM. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 00:06, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

== Copyright? ==

Is it acceptable to add small tidbits of information to Bulbapedia that have been researched from another site but not copied word-for-word, as long as a citation is used? [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 20:16, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

== Are Quotes allowed? ==

I added a quote to the start of the [[Ashachu]] page. Is this alright? --[[User:CTBMC|CTBMC]] ([[User talk:CTBMC|talk]]) 20:25, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

==Two things==
First of all, under the Nouns, capitalization, and specific terminology section, it lists DeepSeaTooth as an example of correct formatting, but as of Gen VI, isn't that incorrect? This was the only issue I noticed but there might be more.

Also, use of the serial comma was brought up earlier on this talk page, but it still isn't mentioned on the page itself. Could a mention of it be added somewhere? [[User:Slimey01|'''slimey''']][[User talk:Slimey01|'''01''']] 21:09, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

== Why aren't titles formatted here? ==

I don't understand why the titles of games (among other things) aren't italicized on Bulbapedia. According to the Chicago Manual of Style (which is roughly what is used on most Wikis), like movies, the name or title of a game should be italicized, eg. "''[[Pokémon Yellow]]''" (See: [http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/InternetWebandOtherPost-WatergateConcerns/faq0008.html The Chicago Manual of Style Online: Internet, Web, and Other Post-Watergate Concerns]). This also extends to the titles as displayed in Heading 1 of their articles. [[User:DKqwerty|DKqwerty]] ([[User talk:DKqwerty|talk]]) 16:15, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

== Edits in advance ==

Is there any rule as to how far beforehand certain info can be added? For instance, with the newly announced Pokémon Generations series, would one be free to go ahead and update character articles with "[CHARACTER] will make an appearance in Pokémon Generations, they are seen in the trailer doing this..."? [[User:TheFatPanda|TheFatPanda]] ([[User talk:TheFatPanda|talk]]) 15:37, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

== What's the deal with the order types are listed in? ==

Everywhere on this wiki seems to use the same order for the listing of types (normal, fighting, flying, poison..). Other than the original physical types followed by the original special types, this order seems arbitrary. It doesn't seem to be written down as official bulbapedia practice from what I can tell, either. Official guides and manuals use the normal, fire, water, electric.. order, which makes this even more odd since everything (except EVs...) on this wiki uses official terminology. What is the meaning behind this order, and why is it used over the official type order? [[User:Gibraltar|Gibraltar]] ([[User talk:Gibraltar|talk]]) 19:25, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
:[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] and previous games use the Normal, Fighting, Flying, etc. order. Regardless of whether the order is officially used, the order isn't important enough to warrant changing it just because the newest material uses a different order. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:45, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
::The order Bulbapedia uses is also the internal order of the types in the Pokémon games. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:05, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

== IPA pronunciations ==

== Usage of "you" ==

The words ''you'', ''your'', ''yours'', ''yourself'', ''yourselves'' mustn't be discouraged in quotes spoken by [[NPC]]s and walkthroughs.

== form of English ==

Hello
Can we please have something in the manual of style where we establish what style of English to use?
Fore example, I tend to use UK and Kenyan Engilsh, I am unfamilliar with U.S. English save for like "color" instead of the more complete "colour."
Once we determine which style of English is preferable, we should make it clear for accomidations for those who are unfamilliar with the chosen style of English. Fore example, if you pick U.S. English as the Bulba-English, you must have a rule stating to always allow some leeway for those who are unfamilliar with U.S. English, this way we're not having a plethora of terse and chastizing corrections.
Would you guys, let's say, be willing to allow a British or South African editor like myself (I'm Ugandan) to use our native form of English then if you wish to change it to U.S. English to do so with a highly respectful edit summary, that makes it clear that the style the original editor used is not incorrect, but rather it's being done for consistency? I know to some it may appear obvious, but for those who are especially new, it might not be.
I'd like to see some mention of English style in the MOS so that when you direct people to it they'll know where Bulbapedia stands, whether it is open to UK English just as much as U.S. English or not.
This is a problem I've had on other wikis where people were unfriendly to me because I wasn't familliar with U.S. English and they wanted on ly U.S. English.
thanks.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 13:08, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

'''Pokémon Blue Version''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター　青}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Blue'') is the third [[core series]] [[Pokémon games|Pokémon game]] for [[Game Boy]], released in Japan on October 15, 1996 exclusively to subscribers of {{wp|CoroCoro Comic}}<ref name="TPC">[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/other/gb-blue/ ポケットモンスター青 | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト]</ref><ref name="NoJ">[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/apej/ ポケットモンスター青]</ref> and on October 10, 1999 to general {{wp|retail}}<ref name="TPC" /><ref name="NoJ" /> as a minor revision of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], which were released earlier that year. It was thus the first [[core series|solitary version]] in the core series Pokémon games.

On November 12, 2015, a [[Nintendo Direct]] announced that Blue will be released in Japan on February 27, 2016, the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]], for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]].

Various fixes in the game include a graphics and sound upgrade, as well as the removal of several known glitches that had been found in the original pair.

Outside of Japan, its graphics, game engine, and script formed the basis of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, while the [[wild Pokémon]] and [[game-exclusive Pokémon]] lists were changed to match Red and Green.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
Much as would become standard for solitary versions, {{player}}s follow the plot of the previous two games. Like in Red and Green, the player starts in [[Pallet Town]] in the [[Kanto|Kanto region]], receiving a [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Oak]]. As before, the choices are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, and the {{ga|Blue|rival}} chooses the starter that is super-effective against the player's starter.

Once more, the eight [[Gym Leaders]] of Kanto are [[Brock]], [[Misty]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Erika]], [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]], [[Blaine]], and [[Giovanni]], while the [[Elite Four]] are [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], [[Agatha]], and [[Lance]], with {{ga|Blue|the rival}} still in the {{pkmn|Champion}}'s place.

Again, the evil [[Team Rocket]] is causing chaos across the region, and it is up to the player to defeat them.

==Changes from Red and Green==
* [[Kanto]] is aesthetically redesigned, with the design of doors, signposts and other tilesets redesigned. [[Cerulean Cave]], the game's final dungeon, receives the most significant overhaul, sporting a completely different layout. These designs would later be reused for the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. [[Indigo Plateau]] remains unaltered.
* All Pokémon have new front sprites but retain the same back sprites from Red and Green. Trainers and the [[Ghost (literal)|literal Ghost]] have the same sprites from Red and Green. The sprites from Blue would later be used in the international Pokémon Red and Blue.
* Pokémon have new [[Pokédex]] entries.
* [[In-game trade]]s are changed to different Pokémon.
* [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] prizes and slot machine icons are different.
* The introduction of the game features a battle between a {{p|Gengar}} and a {{p|Jigglypuff}}, as opposed to a Gengar and a {{p|Nidorino}}, as it was in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This change carried on into the localized version of Pokémon Blue, while the original appeared in the localized Pokémon Red.
* The places where some Pokémon are obtainable was changed:
** {{p|Jynx}} and {{p|Lickitung}}, only available through in-game trades in Red and Green, are now found in the wild.
** {{p|Kangaskhan}} and {{p|Tauros}} are now only available through in-game trades.
** {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, and {{p|Rapidash}} are now found in [[Cerulean Cave]].
** {{p|Ditto}} is now found in [[Rock Tunnel]].
** {{p|Psyduck}} and {{p|Golduck}} do not appear on land inside the [[Seafoam Islands]], but Psyduck can still be encountered by fishing at various locations.
* A small number of glitches were fixed:
** A glitch that allows the player to surf from the top of a cliff was removed.
** A glitch where the game mistakenly believes the player has beaten [[Sabrina]] (when they actually lost to her) was removed.
* [[MissingNo.]] was given the placeholder Pokédex entry コメントさくせいちゅう ''Comment to be written.'' and became the ??? species. This was not translated, resulting in a glitched Pokédex entry in the localized {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the corruption of MissingNo.'s original height and weight (1.0 m (3.3 ft) and 10.0 kg (22.1 lb), respectively), showing instead a height of 10.0 ft (3.1 m) and a weight of 3507.2 lb (1590.8 kg).<ref>[https://iimarckus.org/i/missing-number/ Missing Number]</ref>

===[[Game-exclusive Pokémon|Missing Pokémon]]===
The following Pokémon could be found in Red and Green Versions but are not obtainable in Pokémon Blue. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the paired versions of [[Generation I]], or from [[Generation II]]. The table below indicates which paired Generation I game has that Pokémon available.

Note that {{color|{{green color}}|'''G'''}} marks the Pokémon obtainable in Pokémon Green, which has the same available Pokémon as [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Western Blue]].

==Connectivity==
Players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges or battle with another cartridge using a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]]. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to other Generation I games and others require trading to evolve, making trading necessary to complete the [[Pokédex]]. The game can trade and battle with Japanese versions of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], Blue and {{game|Yellow}}. It can also trade with Japanese versions of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} via the [[Time Capsule]]. Pokémon Blue is completely incompatible with games from [[Generation III]] onward.

Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game without causing corruption. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data from Japanese to a different language or vice versa, since neither game fully [[Character encoding in Generation I|encodes]] both {{wp|kana}} and the {{wp|Latin alphabet}} (only encoding one fully and the other partially). If a battle between a Japanese game and a non-Japanese game is attempted, the battle simply does not work, with the save files left unharmed.

Pokémon Blue is compatible with {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium 2}} (released as Pokémon Stadium in English), and [[Pokémon Stadium 2|Pokémon Stadium Gold and Silver]] (released as Pokémon Stadium 2 in English). While link battles are not possible directly between Pokémon Blue and the Generation II games, a player may challenge a Generation II game using [[Pokémon Stadium 2|Pokémon Stadium Gold and Silver]].

===Virtual Console===
The [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release uses 3DS wireless communication as a substitute for the Game Link Cable. Japanese and non-Japanese Generation I core series games do not recognize each other when attempting to link them via 3DS wireless communication.

Using [[Poké Transporter]], the entirety of Box 1 can be sent from the Generation I core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]] (regardless of language), from where they can be withdrawn in the [[Generation VII]] core series games.

==Differences in the Virtual Console release==
The Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] release can [[#Connectivity|link]] with other Virtual Console Generation I and II core series games via Nintendo 3DS wireless communication, simulating the [[Game Link Cable]]. When initiating a link, the Virtual Console menu on the touch screen replaces the Cable Club attendant's dialogue.

Using [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon can be sent from the Generation I core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]], from which they can be withdrawn in the [[Generation VII]] core series games.

The moves {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Bubble Beam|BubbleBeam}}, {{m|Confusion}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Guillotine}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Mega Kick}}, {{m|Mega Punch}}, {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}}, {{m|Spore}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}} had their animations changed slightly to tone down the flashing.

==Development==
{{main|Pokémon Red and Green beta}}

An error made during development causes the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} depicted during [[Professor Oak]]'s introductory lecture to be a {{p|Nidorino}} but with the [[cry]] of a {{p|Nidorina}}. This was already the case in the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and it was not fixed in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD}}
The soundtrack release for {{game|Red and Green|s}} also applies to Pokémon Blue.

==Trivia==
* Because Pokémon Red and Blue use a translation of the script of Pokémon Blue but use the [[in-game trade]]s from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, two translation errors related to these trades occur.
** The man who trades the {{player}} an {{p|Electrode}} on [[Cinnabar Island]] claims that the {{p|Raichu}} he received "went and [[Evolution|evolved]]". As Raichu does not have an evolved form, this is not possible. However, in the context of Japanese Pokémon Blue, it makes sense as the player trades away a {{p|Kadabra}}, which evolves through trade, for a {{p|Graveler}}.
** The old man who trades the player a {{p|Jynx}} in [[Cerulean City]] claims that the {{p|Poliwhirl}} he received "went and evolved". As Poliwhirl cannot evolve via [[trade]] in [[Generation I]], this is not possible. However, in the context of Japanese Pokémon Blue, the old man trades away a {{p|Haunter}} for a {{p|Machoke}}, which does evolve through trade.
* This is the only [[Generation I]] core series game in which neither {{p|Seel}} nor {{p|Dewgong}} is available through an [[in-game trade]].

Hoenn Route 112

2019-04-09T04:52:38Z

IIMarckus: /* Cable Car */ Apparently I can’t math. 1/64 are the correct odds. Still true that Zigzagoon never shows up.

{{bad picture|2=Guidebook labels.}}
{{Route infobox
|number=112
|image=Hoenn Route 112 ORAS.png

'''Route 112''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|１１２番道路|１１２ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 112'') is a route in central [[Hoenn]], connecting {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, [[Lavaridge Town]], [[Mt. Chimney]], and the [[Jagged Pass]]. The route is divided into two segments by Mt. Chimney. The [[Fiery Path]] is located on the route, connecting the two segments.

==Route description==
The majority of this route is situated around the base of [[Mt. Chimney]]. Most of the route consists of uneven rocky terrain, although there is some [[tall grass]] in the lower areas. When entering the route from the south, the path to [[Lavaridge Town]] is visible to the west, but cannot be taken since it contains many ledges. Route 112 also provides a way to reach {{rt|113|Hoenn}} and [[Fallarbor Town]] through the [[Fiery Path]].

The Cable Car Base Station is located here, which takes passengers up Mt. Chimney.

West of the Cable Car Base Station is the southern entrance of [[Fiery Path]]. This short cave can be used to bypass the {{DL|Hoenn Route 111|desert}} which cannot be entered without the [[Go-Goggles]]. The northern end of Route 112 also connects to the northern exit of Fiery Path.

===Cable Car===
[[File:Cable Car RSE.png|thumb|200px|left|The Cable Car in Generation III]]
The {{DL|Transportation in the Pokémon world|Cable car|Cable Car}} Base Station here can be used to travel up to the summit of Mt. Chimney, where the [[Jagged Pass]] leads south to Lavaridge Town. West of the Jagged Pass's southern entrance is Lavaridge Town, while the ledges to the east offer a shortcut back to the lower portion of the route.

Before confronting [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Meteor Falls]], [[Grunt]]s block the entrance to the Cable Car station.

In Generation III, there is a 1/64 chance a Hiker, Camper, or Picnicker can be seen climbing the mountain when going up or down [[Mt. Chimney]] using the Cable Car.

Also in Generation III, the upper Cable Car station is considered a part of Mt. Chimney; in Generation VI, both Cable Car stations are considered part of Route 112.
{{left clear}}

===Vending Machine===
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], there is a [[Vending Machine]] at both Cable Car stations. The drinks are sold for twice their normal price.

'''Route 112''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|１１２番道路|１１２ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 112'') is a route in central [[Hoenn]], connecting {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, [[Lavaridge Town]], [[Mt. Chimney]], and the [[Jagged Pass]]. The route is divided into two segments by Mt. Chimney. The [[Fiery Path]] is located on the route, connecting the two segments.

==Route description==
The majority of this route is situated around the base of [[Mt. Chimney]]. Most of the route consists of uneven rocky terrain, although there is some [[tall grass]] in the lower areas. When entering the route from the south, the path to [[Lavaridge Town]] is visible to the west, but cannot be taken since it contains many ledges. Route 112 also provides a way to reach {{rt|113|Hoenn}} and [[Fallarbor Town]] through the [[Fiery Path]].

The Cable Car Base Station is located here, which takes passengers up Mt. Chimney.

West of the Cable Car Base Station is the southern entrance of [[Fiery Path]]. This short cave can be used to bypass the {{DL|Hoenn Route 111|desert}} which cannot be entered without the [[Go-Goggles]]. The northern end of Route 112 also connects to the northern exit of Fiery Path.

===Cable Car===
[[File:Cable Car RSE.png|thumb|200px|left|The Cable Car in Generation III]]
The {{DL|Transportation in the Pokémon world|Cable car|Cable Car}} Base Station here can be used to travel up to the summit of Mt. Chimney, where the [[Jagged Pass]] leads south to Lavaridge Town. West of the Jagged Pass's southern entrance is Lavaridge Town, while the ledges to the east offer a shortcut back to the lower portion of the route.

Before confronting [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Meteor Falls]], [[Grunt]]s block the entrance to the Cable Car station.

In Generation III, there is a 1/1024 chance a Hiker, Camper, or Picnicker can be seen climbing the mountain when going up or down [[Mt. Chimney]] using the Cable Car.

Also in Generation III, the upper Cable Car station is considered a part of Mt. Chimney; in Generation VI, both Cable Car stations are considered part of Route 112.
{{left clear}}

===Vending Machine===
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], there is a [[Vending Machine]] at both Cable Car stations. The drinks are sold for twice their normal price.

Move Tutor

IIMarckus: /* Crystal */

{{search|characters who teach Pokémon moves outside of their normal learnsets|the characters who teach moves Pokémon can learn at previous levels|Move Reminder}}
{{redirect|Move Teacher|the man called the Move Teacher in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]|Move Reminder}}
A '''Move Tutor''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|技教|わざおし}}え{{tt|人|びと}}''' ''Move Teacher'') is a [[non-player character]] who will teach a [[Pokémon]] specific [[move]]s. Move Tutors are found in [[Kanto]] (including the [[Sevii Islands]]), [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], [[Alola]], and the [[Pokémon Stadium]]. They are not to be confused with [[Move Reminder]]s.

==Generation I Move Tutors==
===Stadium (Japanese)===
In the game known as {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese}} in Japanese that was only released in Japan, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party, the Pikachu can learn {{m|Surf}}.

{{tutormv/header|Stad0|none|no}}
{{tutormv|Surf|Water|hm=03}}
|}
|}

===Stadium (English)===
In the international release of the game known as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} in English, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] with only Pokémon selected directly from a Game Pak with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party and does not save during the tournament, the Pikachu can learn {{m|Surf}}. Pikachu only has to be selected for the final battle and does not have to take part in the battle.

==Generation II Move Tutors==
===Crystal===
[[File:Move tutor.png|150px|right|thumb]]
In {{game|Crystal}}, [[Bill]]'s father can be visited outside the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]] every Wednesday and Saturday after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]]. He teaches three different moves for 4000 coins, two of which were [[TM]]s in [[Generation I]] and returned to that status in [[Generation III]], and one of which later became a TM with the other two. These moves are breedable in the same fashion as TMs and HMs. After teaching a move, he goes back inside the Game Corner to gamble while nursing a drink, and will not be able to teach another move until the next available day.

The move tutor's son, Bill, complains that he doesn't work and is a drain on the family. His wife describes him as a former {{tc|Poké Maniac}} who spends all his free time gambling.

==Generation III Move Tutors==
===FireRed and LeafGreen===
These Move Tutors are in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. They do not appear in the [[Generation I]] games.

====Normal Move Tutors====
These tutors will teach a Pokémon a move otherwise unobtainable with the [[Generation III]] [[TM]] list. Many of the NPCs which gave a TM containing a move in [[Generation I]] that is no longer available in TM form in the current generation will directly teach the move they would have given instead. These can only be taught once.

====Special Move Tutors====
A [[Ultima|woman]] at [[Two Island]]'s [[Cape Brink]] will teach one move to each of the fully evolved Kanto starter Pokémon. She will teach {{m|Frenzy Plant}} to {{p|Venusaur}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{m|Blast Burn}} to {{p|Charizard}}. The moves can only be taught to one of these three Pokémon once, and the Pokémon learning the move must have maximum [[friendship]].

===Emerald===
In {{game|Emerald}}, various Move Tutors can be found across the [[Hoenn]] region. Some moves may be purchased at the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Those that cannot be purchased may only be learned once from the tutor.

===Pokémon XD===
====General Move Tutor====
In {{Pokémon XD}}, there is a Move Tutor in [[Agate Village]]. Like in FireRed and LeafGreen, these moves can only be taught once.

====Mew Move Tutor====
A Move Tutor at [[Mt. Battle]] can teach {{p|Mew}} moves for the cost of 5,000 [[Poké Coupons]]. This can only be done after beating the game, but it can be done multiple times. Unlike other Move Tutors, this one does not give the player a direct choice in what Mew learns. Instead, he asks a few questions and then offers a full set of moves for Mew.

This Move Tutor can teach Mew any move it can otherwise learn by [[TM]], [[HM]], or from any other Generation III Move Tutor, plus one of the moves below:

{{tutormv/header|xd|none|no}}

==Generation IV Move Tutors==
===Diamond and Pearl===
There are two Move Tutors in Sinnoh—one on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} and one on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}. The Move Tutor on Route 210 teaches {{m|Draco Meteor}} to a Dragon-type Pokémon which has had its [[friendship]] maximized. Similar to the Cape Brink Move Tutor in FireRed and LeafGreen, the Route 228 Move Tutor will teach one of the elemental versions of {{m|Hyper Beam}} to a fully-evolved starter with maximum friendship. Unlike the Cape Brink tutor, it can be any of the twelve [[starter Pokémon]], but the move's type will always correspond with the Pokémon's primary type. Also unlike the Cape Brink tutor, it can be taught as many times as the player likes.

===Platinum===
In {{game|Platinum}}, in addition to the Move Tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new Move Tutors are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}}, and in the [[Survival Area]]. These Move Tutors accept [[shard]]s in return for their services, charging eight shards of various colors per move.

===HeartGold and SoulSilver===
The following tutor moves are available in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Similar to Emerald, most of the moves that a Move Tutor can teach to a Pokémon require a set amount of Battle Points, these tutors being located in the [[Frontier Access]]. Fourteen of these moves are exclusive to HeartGold and SoulSilver, while the rest are also obtainable in Platinum.

==Generation V Move Tutors==
===Black and White===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, there are four Move Tutors in Unova: one in [[Driftveil City]], one on {{rt|13|Unova}}, one in [[Opelucid City]] and one in [[Castelia City]]. A man in his house in Driftveil City teaches the newly-introduced {{DL|Move variations|Pledge moves}}, which can be combined with each other in double and triple battles for additional effects. As before, the elemental {{m|Hyper Beam}} variants can be taught to [[friendship|friendly]] fully-evolved [[starter Pokémon]] of each respective type, with the new Move Tutor being located on Route 13. {{m|Draco Meteor}} is taught by the opposite game's [[Opelucid Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] ([[Drayden]]{{sup/5|Wh}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|Bl}}), but maximum friendship is not required. Also, if the player brings an event {{p|Meloetta}} to Café Sonata in [[Castelia City]], a musician will teach it {{m|Relic Song}}. Furthermore, if the player brings an event {{p|Keldeo}} with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} in their party to [[Moor of Icirrus]], they will teach it {{m|Secret Sword}}.

==In other games==
===PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure===
In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Primeape}} will teach the player {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, respectively. This will drastically enhance Pikachu's performance in battle. Though Electabuzz does not actually teach Pikachu how to use Thunderbolt, he does help strengthen its power.

===Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon===
{{main|Hawlucha's Slam School}}
In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], once the story arc of the game's Epilogue has been completed, [[Hawlucha's Slam School]] will gain the option to teach any [[Connection Orb|connected]] Pokémon various moves in return for a large amount of [[Poké]]. The moves available include all moves taught by the Move Tutors in [[#Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and all moves known by one of the game's starter Pokémon (these moves can only be taught to Pokémon in the same evolutionary family as the starter that had them).

==In the anime==
[[File:May Skitty Johnny Blizzard.png|thumb|220px|{{TP|May|Skitty}} learning {{m|Blizzard}} from {{DL|Dr. Abby|Johnny}}]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, several characters comparable to Move Tutors have appeared. However, instead of directly teaching the move to a Pokémon, the "Move Tutors" in the anime usually tend to just show an example of the move they are teaching, and the Pokémon has to work hard in order to properly master it.

In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|Chaz}} offered to help {{Ash}} to teach his {{AP|Pikachu}} {{m|Iron Tail}} in preparation for his [[Rustboro Gym]] battle with [[Roxanne]], demonstrating the move with his {{p|Sentret}}. Although Pikachu started learning the move in the same episode, it took him until the events of ''[[AG016|The Winner By a Nosepass]]'', during the Gym battle with Roxanne, to perfect the move.

In ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue]]'', {{an|May}} was impressed by the moves used by Johnny, a {{p|Delcatty}} belonging to [[Dr. Abby]]. May wanted her {{TP|May|Skitty}} to learn {{m|Blizzard}}, but she was unsure in her own abilities and thought she would not be able to teach her Pokémon to use the move the way Abby, a [[Top Coordinator]], taught Johnny. Abby told Skitty to mimic Johnny and, after a bit of practice, Skitty successfully used Blizzard. The move was mastered in ''[[AG062|Disguise Da Limit]]'' during the {{to|Verdanturf}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

In ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry]]'', when Ash was having trouble of teaching his {{AP|Swellow}} {{m|Aerial Ace}}, a man named "[[Vladimir]] the Attacker" offered to teach Ash how to use the move properly, using his {{p|Pidgeotto}}'s Aerial Ace as a demonstration. Swellow managed to master the move in [[AG091|the next episode]].

In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', after seeing {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Breloom}}'s {{m|Energy Ball}}, Ash asked Kenny to help his {{AP|Turtwig}} to learn the same move. Kenny eventually agreed to teach Energy Ball to Turtwig, and, after many failures, the move was finally perfected in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]''. According to Kenny, learning the move would have been easier if Turtwig had known {{m|Bullet Seed}}, since the two attacks require the same kind of focusing of power.

In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', [[Reggie]] and his {{p|Staraptor}} helped [[Ash's Staravia]] learn {{m|Brave Bird}}. The move was perfected by the time of Ash's [[Veilstone Gym]] battle with [[Maylene]] in [[DP068|the next episode]].

In ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} met an old woman named [[Wilma]], who was teaching an {{p|Altaria}} to use {{m|Draco Meteor}}. She explained that Trainers leave their {{type|Dragon}}s under her care so they can learn Draco Meteor, and Altaria was one of the Pokémon she was teaching at the time.

In ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'', [[Clayton]] and his {{p|Mr. Mime}} helped [[Ash's Buizel]] learn {{m|Ice Punch}} by practicing on a waterfall.

==In the manga==
[[File:Early TM Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Ultima's bracelets and Zinnia's scroll in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
During the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, an old woman named [[Ultima]] offered to teach {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] the "ultimate moves" of their respective types. For the training, the two Trainers received special bracelets, which would only remove themselves from their wrists once they had mastered their moves. After crossing three sets of tests on [[Two Island]], Red and {{adv|Blue}} mastered their respective ultimate moves: {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and {{m|Blast Burn}}. Ultima also later taught {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to {{adv|Green}}'s [[Blasty]], by the girl's own request.

Later, off-panel, {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}} also managed to master the ultimate moves with their respective [[starter Pokémon]]: [[Exbo]] and [[Megaree]]. During the {{chap|Emerald}}, {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were each given one of Ultima's bracelets, allowing their respective starters, {{TP|Silver|Feraligatr}}, [[Mumu]], [[Chic]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}, to learn the ultimate moves as well. Using these skills (combined with [[Pika]], [[Chuchu]], and [[Pibu]]'s {{m|Volt Tackle}}), the [[Pokédex holder]]s were able to destroy the giant {{p|Kyogre}}-like monster summoned by [[Guile Hideout]]'s wish to {{p|Jirachi}}.

Emerald visited a Move Tutor off-panel before ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]'', where he was shown to have taught his {{TP|Emerald|Dusclops}} {{m|Fire Punch}} with the [[Battle Point]]s he had earned in preparation for his {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Dome}} challenge, where the move proved its usefulness by easily taking out {{tc|Aroma Lady}} Rose's {{p|Vileplume}}.

In ''[[PS491|Fight in a Cold Climate]]'', {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|Cheren}} visited the Move Tutor in Driftveil City and taught their [[Bo|Pignite]] and {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}} {{m|Fire Pledge}} and {{m|Grass Pledge}}, respectively. They later used these combination attacks to defeat a pair of {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s and their {{p|Beartic}} at the [[Cold Storage]].

In ''[[PAORAS09|Omega Alpha Adventure 9]]'', Ruby stole a special [[Draconid people|Draconid]] scroll from [[Zinnia]], which Ultima later revealed to contain the essence of a move called {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. She explained that the scroll works in a similar way to her bracelets, making them both sort of primitive [[TM]]s. Ruby [[PAORAS15|later]] used the scroll to teach Dragon Ascent to {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}.

==Trivia==
* In Pokémon Platinum, there are exactly two tutorable moves for every type except for the {{t|Normal}} type.
* All of the tutorable moves in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} (with the exception of the three moves taught at [[Cape Brink]]) were previously teachable via TM in [[Generation I]]. Similarly, all of the tutorable moves in {{game|Emerald}} and {{Pokémon XD}} (with the exception of the moves that can only be taught to {{p|Mew}}) were previously teachable via TM in [[Generation I]] and/or [[Generation II]].

IIMarckus: /* Crystal */ Backstory (see Bill’s talk page)

{{search|characters who teach Pokémon moves outside of their normal learnsets|the characters who teach moves Pokémon can learn at previous levels|Move Reminder}}
{{redirect|Move Teacher|the man called the Move Teacher in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]|Move Reminder}}
A '''Move Tutor''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|技教|わざおし}}え{{tt|人|びと}}''' ''Move Teacher'') is a [[non-player character]] who will teach a [[Pokémon]] specific [[move]]s. Move Tutors are found in [[Kanto]] (including the [[Sevii Islands]]), [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], [[Alola]], and the [[Pokémon Stadium]]. They are not to be confused with [[Move Reminder]]s.

==Generation I Move Tutors==
===Stadium (Japanese)===
In the game known as {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese}} in Japanese that was only released in Japan, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party, the Pikachu can learn {{m|Surf}}.

{{tutormv/header|Stad0|none|no}}
{{tutormv|Surf|Water|hm=03}}
|}
|}

===Stadium (English)===
In the international release of the game known as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} in English, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] with only Pokémon selected directly from a Game Pak with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party and does not save during the tournament, the Pikachu can learn {{m|Surf}}. Pikachu only has to be selected for the final battle and does not have to take part in the battle.

==Generation II Move Tutors==
===Crystal===
[[File:Move tutor.png|150px|right|thumb]]
In {{game|Crystal}}, [[Bill]]'s father can be visited outside the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]] every Wednesday and Saturday after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]]. He teaches three different moves for 4000 coins, two of which were [[TM]]s in [[Generation I]] and returned to that status in [[Generation III]], and one of which later became a TM with the other two. These moves are breedable in the same fashion as TMs and HMs. After teaching a move, he goes back inside the Game Corner to gamble, and will not be able to teach another move until the next available day.

The move tutor's son, Bill, complains that he doesn't work and is a drain on the family. His wife describes him as a former {{tc|Poké Maniac}} who spends all his free time gambling.

==Generation III Move Tutors==
===FireRed and LeafGreen===
These Move Tutors are in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. They do not appear in the [[Generation I]] games.

====Normal Move Tutors====
These tutors will teach a Pokémon a move otherwise unobtainable with the [[Generation III]] [[TM]] list. Many of the NPCs which gave a TM containing a move in [[Generation I]] that is no longer available in TM form in the current generation will directly teach the move they would have given instead. These can only be taught once.

====Special Move Tutors====
A [[Ultima|woman]] at [[Two Island]]'s [[Cape Brink]] will teach one move to each of the fully evolved Kanto starter Pokémon. She will teach {{m|Frenzy Plant}} to {{p|Venusaur}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{m|Blast Burn}} to {{p|Charizard}}. The moves can only be taught to one of these three Pokémon once, and the Pokémon learning the move must have maximum [[friendship]].

===Emerald===
In {{game|Emerald}}, various Move Tutors can be found across the [[Hoenn]] region. Some moves may be purchased at the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Those that cannot be purchased may only be learned once from the tutor.

====Mew Move Tutor====
A Move Tutor at [[Mt. Battle]] can teach {{p|Mew}} moves for the cost of 5,000 [[Poké Coupons]]. This can only be done after beating the game, but it can be done multiple times. Unlike other Move Tutors, this one does not give the player a direct choice in what Mew learns. Instead, he asks a few questions and then offers a full set of moves for Mew.

This Move Tutor can teach Mew any move it can otherwise learn by [[TM]], [[HM]], or from any other Generation III Move Tutor, plus one of the moves below:

==Generation IV Move Tutors==
===Diamond and Pearl===
There are two Move Tutors in Sinnoh—one on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} and one on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}. The Move Tutor on Route 210 teaches {{m|Draco Meteor}} to a Dragon-type Pokémon which has had its [[friendship]] maximized. Similar to the Cape Brink Move Tutor in FireRed and LeafGreen, the Route 228 Move Tutor will teach one of the elemental versions of {{m|Hyper Beam}} to a fully-evolved starter with maximum friendship. Unlike the Cape Brink tutor, it can be any of the twelve [[starter Pokémon]], but the move's type will always correspond with the Pokémon's primary type. Also unlike the Cape Brink tutor, it can be taught as many times as the player likes.

===Platinum===
In {{game|Platinum}}, in addition to the Move Tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new Move Tutors are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}}, and in the [[Survival Area]]. These Move Tutors accept [[shard]]s in return for their services, charging eight shards of various colors per move.

==Generation V Move Tutors==
===Black and White===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, there are four Move Tutors in Unova: one in [[Driftveil City]], one on {{rt|13|Unova}}, one in [[Opelucid City]] and one in [[Castelia City]]. A man in his house in Driftveil City teaches the newly-introduced {{DL|Move variations|Pledge moves}}, which can be combined with each other in double and triple battles for additional effects. As before, the elemental {{m|Hyper Beam}} variants can be taught to [[friendship|friendly]] fully-evolved [[starter Pokémon]] of each respective type, with the new Move Tutor being located on Route 13. {{m|Draco Meteor}} is taught by the opposite game's [[Opelucid Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] ([[Drayden]]{{sup/5|Wh}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|Bl}}), but maximum friendship is not required. Also, if the player brings an event {{p|Meloetta}} to Café Sonata in [[Castelia City]], a musician will teach it {{m|Relic Song}}. Furthermore, if the player brings an event {{p|Keldeo}} with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} in their party to [[Moor of Icirrus]], they will teach it {{m|Secret Sword}}.

==In other games==
===PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure===
In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Primeape}} will teach the player {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, respectively. This will drastically enhance Pikachu's performance in battle. Though Electabuzz does not actually teach Pikachu how to use Thunderbolt, he does help strengthen its power.

===Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon===
{{main|Hawlucha's Slam School}}
In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], once the story arc of the game's Epilogue has been completed, [[Hawlucha's Slam School]] will gain the option to teach any [[Connection Orb|connected]] Pokémon various moves in return for a large amount of [[Poké]]. The moves available include all moves taught by the Move Tutors in [[#Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and all moves known by one of the game's starter Pokémon (these moves can only be taught to Pokémon in the same evolutionary family as the starter that had them).

==In the anime==
[[File:May Skitty Johnny Blizzard.png|thumb|220px|{{TP|May|Skitty}} learning {{m|Blizzard}} from {{DL|Dr. Abby|Johnny}}]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, several characters comparable to Move Tutors have appeared. However, instead of directly teaching the move to a Pokémon, the "Move Tutors" in the anime usually tend to just show an example of the move they are teaching, and the Pokémon has to work hard in order to properly master it.

In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|Chaz}} offered to help {{Ash}} to teach his {{AP|Pikachu}} {{m|Iron Tail}} in preparation for his [[Rustboro Gym]] battle with [[Roxanne]], demonstrating the move with his {{p|Sentret}}. Although Pikachu started learning the move in the same episode, it took him until the events of ''[[AG016|The Winner By a Nosepass]]'', during the Gym battle with Roxanne, to perfect the move.

In ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue]]'', {{an|May}} was impressed by the moves used by Johnny, a {{p|Delcatty}} belonging to [[Dr. Abby]]. May wanted her {{TP|May|Skitty}} to learn {{m|Blizzard}}, but she was unsure in her own abilities and thought she would not be able to teach her Pokémon to use the move the way Abby, a [[Top Coordinator]], taught Johnny. Abby told Skitty to mimic Johnny and, after a bit of practice, Skitty successfully used Blizzard. The move was mastered in ''[[AG062|Disguise Da Limit]]'' during the {{to|Verdanturf}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

In ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry]]'', when Ash was having trouble of teaching his {{AP|Swellow}} {{m|Aerial Ace}}, a man named "[[Vladimir]] the Attacker" offered to teach Ash how to use the move properly, using his {{p|Pidgeotto}}'s Aerial Ace as a demonstration. Swellow managed to master the move in [[AG091|the next episode]].

In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', after seeing {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Breloom}}'s {{m|Energy Ball}}, Ash asked Kenny to help his {{AP|Turtwig}} to learn the same move. Kenny eventually agreed to teach Energy Ball to Turtwig, and, after many failures, the move was finally perfected in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]''. According to Kenny, learning the move would have been easier if Turtwig had known {{m|Bullet Seed}}, since the two attacks require the same kind of focusing of power.

In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', [[Reggie]] and his {{p|Staraptor}} helped [[Ash's Staravia]] learn {{m|Brave Bird}}. The move was perfected by the time of Ash's [[Veilstone Gym]] battle with [[Maylene]] in [[DP068|the next episode]].

In ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} met an old woman named [[Wilma]], who was teaching an {{p|Altaria}} to use {{m|Draco Meteor}}. She explained that Trainers leave their {{type|Dragon}}s under her care so they can learn Draco Meteor, and Altaria was one of the Pokémon she was teaching at the time.

In ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'', [[Clayton]] and his {{p|Mr. Mime}} helped [[Ash's Buizel]] learn {{m|Ice Punch}} by practicing on a waterfall.

==In the manga==
[[File:Early TM Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Ultima's bracelets and Zinnia's scroll in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
During the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, an old woman named [[Ultima]] offered to teach {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] the "ultimate moves" of their respective types. For the training, the two Trainers received special bracelets, which would only remove themselves from their wrists once they had mastered their moves. After crossing three sets of tests on [[Two Island]], Red and {{adv|Blue}} mastered their respective ultimate moves: {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and {{m|Blast Burn}}. Ultima also later taught {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to {{adv|Green}}'s [[Blasty]], by the girl's own request.

Later, off-panel, {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}} also managed to master the ultimate moves with their respective [[starter Pokémon]]: [[Exbo]] and [[Megaree]]. During the {{chap|Emerald}}, {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were each given one of Ultima's bracelets, allowing their respective starters, {{TP|Silver|Feraligatr}}, [[Mumu]], [[Chic]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}, to learn the ultimate moves as well. Using these skills (combined with [[Pika]], [[Chuchu]], and [[Pibu]]'s {{m|Volt Tackle}}), the [[Pokédex holder]]s were able to destroy the giant {{p|Kyogre}}-like monster summoned by [[Guile Hideout]]'s wish to {{p|Jirachi}}.

Emerald visited a Move Tutor off-panel before ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]'', where he was shown to have taught his {{TP|Emerald|Dusclops}} {{m|Fire Punch}} with the [[Battle Point]]s he had earned in preparation for his {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Dome}} challenge, where the move proved its usefulness by easily taking out {{tc|Aroma Lady}} Rose's {{p|Vileplume}}.

In ''[[PS491|Fight in a Cold Climate]]'', {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|Cheren}} visited the Move Tutor in Driftveil City and taught their [[Bo|Pignite]] and {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}} {{m|Fire Pledge}} and {{m|Grass Pledge}}, respectively. They later used these combination attacks to defeat a pair of {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s and their {{p|Beartic}} at the [[Cold Storage]].

In ''[[PAORAS09|Omega Alpha Adventure 9]]'', Ruby stole a special [[Draconid people|Draconid]] scroll from [[Zinnia]], which Ultima later revealed to contain the essence of a move called {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. She explained that the scroll works in a similar way to her bracelets, making them both sort of primitive [[TM]]s. Ruby [[PAORAS15|later]] used the scroll to teach Dragon Ascent to {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}.

==Trivia==
* In Pokémon Platinum, there are exactly two tutorable moves for every type except for the {{t|Normal}} type.
* All of the tutorable moves in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} (with the exception of the three moves taught at [[Cape Brink]]) were previously teachable via TM in [[Generation I]]. Similarly, all of the tutorable moves in {{game|Emerald}} and {{Pokémon XD}} (with the exception of the moves that can only be taught to {{p|Mew}}) were previously teachable via TM in [[Generation I]] and/or [[Generation II]].

== Researcher, Collector, or Maniac? ==

In Generation I, he's called both THE [[Collector|Pokémon Collector]] and "a true blue [[Pokémaniac]]." Never once do the first generation games call him a [[Scientist|Pokémon Researcher]]. Where did that come from - speculation based on the fact he made the PC System? He's more of a [[Pokémon Storage System|Sys Ops]] than a Researcher. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 20:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
: The anime and [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] explicitly label him as a Pokémon Researcher, and [[Pokémon Special]] has shown him studying Pokémon in the wild. You're right in saying he's not mentioned as being a Researcher in the games, but in other canon, he's not really just Sys Ops either.{{unsigned|Kaz}}

== Just a generic Monster Pokemon ==

It says here that in Generation 1, Bill was combined with a Clefairy. I thought it was just a costume, and if it was a Clefairy, wouldn't it have the Fairy Pokemon sprite? How do we know it's a Clefairy? [[User:Jdrawer|Jdrawer]] 17:11, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
:It was only a costume in the anime. Every other instance, he's actually fused with a Pokémon. As for whether or not we know for certain he combined himself with a Clefairy, you're right, we don't. We can only assume it was because of the fact that it was a Clefairy in the remakes. Sure, not quite conclusive proof, but. --[[User:JXValentine|JXValentine]] 18:01, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

* Bill describes him as a deadbeat who doesn’t work.
* Bill’s mother says he’s at the Game Corner, and describes him as a former Pokémaniac.
* The Move Tutor only appears in Crystal.
* He stands outside the Game Corner, and after being paid in coins walks inside where he sits at one of the machines.
* When the Move Tutor is outside, his machine has a sweet drink left behind. Not just lazy, but an alcoholic too…

'''Bill''' (Japanese: '''ソネザキマサキ''' ''Masaki Sonezaki'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} Researcher, widely regarded as an expert in many fields. He has made many appearances in the games. Bill is most commonly found in his [[Sea Cottage]], which is north of [[Cerulean City]] at the end of {{rt|25|Kanto}}. He is most notable for his first appearance in the [[Generation I]] games and for his [[Pokémon Storage System]] that has been pertinent in the entire main series.

==In the games==
{{incomplete|section|Quotes from Generation IV}}
Bill is a talented and famous inventor, who invented the original Pokémon Storage System and [[Time Capsule]]. People, including himself, call him a PokéManiac because of his large collection of both common and rare Pokémon. The first one he caught was an {{p|Abra}}; however, his favorite Pokémon are {{p|Eevee}} and its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]]. Bill also gives a free Eevee to {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{sup/2|C}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} in [[Generation II]] and its remakes, and another one to [[Bebe]] in [[Generation IV]], which is later given to {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}.

Bill also has several friends that share his interests in computer technology. One of them is [[Celio]], his old friend from {{OBP|One Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]]. He is also close with [[Lanette]] and [[Bebe]], the storage system developers of [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]], respectively. He is stated to have requested [[Cassius]] control the Storage System of [[Kalos]] in [[Generation VI]].

Bill also has some fans, like {{tc|Poké Maniac|PokéManiac}} Brent of Generation II who calls the player with information about him. Most of his calls are trivia about Bill himself and his family, such as the fact that Bill's mother used to be a [[Kimono Girl]] and that Bill's younger sister can't wink. He also mentions that Bill might have a crush on the flower girl in [[Goldenrod City]]. Brent also revealed the fact that Bill is lactose-intolerant, which was also stated by Celio in [[Generation III]].

Bill has been shown to have a large family. His adult sister and grandfather live in [[Fuchsia City]]. In Generation II, his grandfather watches over Bill's cottage on Route 25 while he is visiting the rest of his family in Goldenrod City.

In the Japanese versions of the games, Bill speaks in {{wp|Kansai region|Kansai}} dialect, like most Goldenrod City residents.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, Bill can be found at the [[Sea Cottage]] on the [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean Cape]], initially performing an experiment on Pokémon teleportation. However, Bill accidentally becomes combined with the body of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and requires the player's help to fix the problem. In Pokémon Yellow, {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the player's Pikachu}} [[Walking Pokémon#Pokémon Yellow|will be confused]] by the whole ordeal, and shocked upon seeing Bill return to his original form. After things are back in order, he speaks about his Pokémon Storage System and what was formerly on the PC menu as "Someone's PC" will change to "Bill's PC." He will also give away an [[S.S. Ticket]] so that the player can board the [[S.S. Anne]]. He gives the player the ticket as a gift for changing him back into a human, and also claims that the rich crowd of the S.S. Anne isn't his type. If the player exits Bill's house and goes back in, they can check his computer for information on {{p|Eevee}} and its three [[Evolutionary stone|stone]] evolutions, his favorite Pokémon.

===[[Generation II]]===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Bill is visiting his family in [[Goldenrod City]]. After he gets the [[Time Capsule]] up and running in [[Ecruteak City]], players can visit him at his parents' house in Goldenrod and receive an {{p|Eevee}}. His sister will give the player Bill's number so they can check the storage system. In {{game|Crystal}}, his father is introduced as the [[Move Tutor#Generation_II_Move_Tutors|Move Tutor]], a deadbeat former [[Pokémaniac]] who spends his time gambling.

===[[Generation III]]===
====Hoenn====
While visiting [[Lanette]] in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, players can check one of her computers to find an E-mail from Bill. The English translation of the e-mail in [[Generation III]] makes it seem as if Bill is crediting Lanette for upgrading his system, whereas the Japanese text and the English text in [[Generation VI]] clearly establishes that he and Lanette are co-developers of the original system.

====Kanto====
[[File:SeaBill.png|thumb|240px|Bill as a {{p|Clefairy}} in the Sea Cottage]]
In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]], Bill is in the same area as in the original games. However, he also appears on [[Cinnabar Island]] asking for help in the [[Sevii Islands]] shortly after [[Blaine]] is defeated. While on [[One Island]], he introduces the player to [[Celio]].

===[[Generation IV]]===
====Sinnoh====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[Bebe]] mentions that Bill invented the original PC storage system, and that she tinkered with it to make it easier to use. Upon giving the player an {{p|Eevee}}, Bebe refers to Bill as a friend from Johto to whom the Eevee previously belonged.

====Johto and Kanto====
Bill appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in the same capacity as he did in Generation II. He will give the player an {{p|Eevee}} if he is visited at his parents' house in Goldenrod.

===[[Generation VII]]===
Although Bill has no physical appearance in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Lillie]] goes to him during the post-game to treat [[Lusamine|her mother]]. [[Wicke]] also makes a reference to when he was combined with a {{p|Clefairy}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Bill anime.png|thumb|200px|Bill talking about the world of Pokémon]]
Bill's only anime appearance was in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' where {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} met him at his lighthouse.

Bill had previously been trapped in a {{p|Kabuto}} costume for what he claims to have been hours (in the dub only; the original didn't state how long he had been in the costume) until Ash finally comes to press the release button for him. Afterwards, Bill fulfills a request made by Professor Oak to give Ash and his friends a lesson on the basics of Pokémon, during which Bill shares the idea that there may be many more than just 150 species of Pokémon. The remainder of his appearance is spent focused on explaining to Ash and company his recent project, involving a {{p|Dragonite|mysterious Pokémon}} whose cry can be heard across the sea.

As it came closer to the lighthouse, [[Team Rocket]] was shown scaling the cliff, and upon seeing the {{pkmn2|giant}} Dragonite, they began launching a barrage of missiles at it. This angered Dragonite, and it smashed the top of the lighthouse and began to walk away. Bill called out at it to stay, but to no avail.
In the morning, Bill seemed to be at peace with the fact that he didn't get to learn more about the Pokémon and was simply grateful he got to see it at all. With another life lesson from Bill, the heroes said goodbye and continued on their journey.

None of Dragonite's moves are known.}}

==In the manga==
Bill makes appearances in several manga, including [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]], [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Pokémon Zensho]], and [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Bill EToP.png|thumb|200px|Bill in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Bill appears in the third chapter of The Electric Tale of Pikachu, ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]''. He works with [[Professor Oak]] researching a colony of {{p|Clefairy}} at [[Mt. Moon]]. He was the one to discover the colony of Clefairy and has befriended many of them. Together with Professor Oak and {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}, he assists the Clefairy with an evolution ceremony.

In the same chapter, Bill also reveals parts of his past to Ash. In the beginning, Bill only became a Pokémon Trainer because he didn't like school and wanted to take a leave of absence, but as time went on, he discovered that he deeply cared for his Pokémon. He decided to become a Pokémon researcher after witnessing his {{p|Ivysaur}} evolving into {{p|Venusaur}}.

Bill reappears with {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[ET19|Side Story: Ash vs. Gary]]'' at a Pokémon research center.

{{cleanup|section}}[[File:Bill PM.png|thumb|140px|Bill in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Bill and his wife were transformed into a leopard and {{p|Mew}} respectively from an unsuccessful experiment, which his wife noted, when they combined themselves with a cat when they wanted to combine a human and an animal together. After doing so, Bill's wife went out to search for a Moon Stone in order to get changed back to humans. She managed to find the Moon Stone that {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} were searching for. They went after Mew and arrived in an abandoned water mill. Red and Green's entrance caused Bill to appear and introduce himself to them. He then explained that he was the one who created the unknown Pokémon in the house and is experimenting on creating the most powerful Pokémon. However, the Pokémon Bill created turned out to be just plush dolls instead of real Pokémon. Seeing {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}, Bill decided to use him for one of his experiments but was stopped by his wife before he was able to do so. His wife explained the story about their transformations to the group and why she took the Moon Stone from them. After the story, Green decided to try and catch her, thinking that she was a real Mew but was stopped from doing so by Bill.
[[File:Bill leopard form PM.png|thumb|125px|left|Bill as a leopard]]When Clefairy battled [[Green's Charizard]], Bill went to one of the machines to shrink Charizard but it ended up shrinking both Clefairy and Charizard since the former did not leave the machine on time. After Green gave up on catching Bill's wife in the form of Mew, the group watched as Bill and his wife used the Moon Stone and the machine that transformed them in the first place, to change back into humans. As soon as that happened, both Red and Green ran away after noticing Bill's hideous appearance in human form.
[[File:Bill 2 PM.png|thumb|130px|Bill's Johto appearance]]
Bill made a reappearance in ''[[PM025|Bring Down the Strongest Pokémon!!]]'' with his wife. {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} kidnapped him and his wife in order to finish creating {{TP|Blue|Mewtwo}} since Giovanni only created the first half. Giovanni tied up his wife, as well as Green and his Charmander, thus blackmailing Bill into working on creating the Mewtwo. Clefairy tried to stop the creation of Mewtwo from getting finished but Giovanni's {{p|Meowth}} prevented him from getting closer. With Mewtwo completed, Bill's wife was released, and she and Bill went up to Mew to see if it was okay. When Clefairy battled Mewtwo, he threw it in the DNA switching machine and Clefairy went in the other one. Clefairy told Bill to give Mewtwo his DNA and Bill activates the DNA switching machine which transformed Clefairy into Mewtwo. Clefairy goes in the machine again but Bill could not do it since it did not have any power. {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters}} used his electricity to charge it up and Clefairy's DNA went to Giovanni's other Pokémon.

Bill made his third appearance in ''[[PM088|Find the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' His appearance is closer to his game artwork in this chapter. A Kimono Girl takes Red and his Pokémon to him after they were playing around in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]. Bill shows them his [[Time Capsule]] machine and demonstrates it on a guy about to get hit by a car, Tyrogue runs to the car and gets hit instead. Bill then ponders about his past which made Clefairy interested and wants the group to try it out. They go in the time machine and he sends them back in time.

==Trivia==
* Bill being mixed with a Pokémon during a teleportation experiment may be a reference to the movie ''{{wp|The Fly}}'', where a scientist experimenting with teleportation pods ends up combined with a fly.
* In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], if a player declines to go to the [[Sevii Islands]] after defeating [[Blaine]], Bill will wait in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s Pokémon Center. During this period, he can be found both at his home on {{rt|25|Kanto}} and on Cinnabar Island at the same time.
* In Generation II and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a fan of Bill's named Brent will reveal trivia about Bill via the [[Pokégear]]. The information shared include the fact that Bill's younger sister can't wink, Bill's first Pokémon caught was {{p|Abra}}, his mother used to be a [[Kimono Girl]], Bill is lactose intolerant (also claimed by Celio in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), he isn't very good at Pokémon battles, and that Bill is attracted to the Goldenrod Flower Shop owner's daughter.
* In the English dub of the anime, his {{wp|Kansai dialect}} is portrayed as a {{wp|Regional accents of English|British English accent}}, while in the Pokémon Adventures manga, this becomes a southern American accent.
* Bill's anime design [[Anime character recycling|was later recycled]] for an unnamed lookalike from ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' and a character of the day named [[Dominick]] from the [[Hoenn]] [[region]].
* The Pokémon Bill is mixed with is different in each canon: in Generation I he is mixed with an unknown Pokémon, in Generation III he is mixed with a {{p|Clefairy}}, in the Pokémon Adventures manga he is mixed with a {{p|Rattata}}, in the Pokémon Zensho manga he is mixed with a {{p|Nidoran♂}}, and in the anime he is trapped in a {{p|Kabuto}} costume.
* According to a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], Bill studied at [[Celadon University]].
* Bill is one of only two Storage System developers to have appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* In the [[Chuang Yi]] translation of [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] his Japanese name, ''Masaki'', is used.

}}
An '''Executive''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive''), known as a '''Team Rocket Admin''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive'') in Generation III, and as a '''Rocket Executive''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいんのかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket executive member'') in Generation II, is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. They are the highest ranked members of [[Team Rocket]] after [[Giovanni]], and are the heads of [[Team Rocket]] after he abandons the organization. They tend to use a combination of {{type|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

As of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there are four of them: three men and one woman. They were unnamed in [[Generation II]], but they all got individual names and sprites in [[Generation IV]]. [[Archer]] disbands Team Rocket after he is defeated.

==Differences between Generations==
===Generation I===
There aren't any distinct Rocket Executives in [[Generation I]]; however, both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear in {{game|Yellow}} ranked higher than grunts, guarding the room where Giovanni waits in the [[Rocket Hideout]] and [[Silph Co.]] However, they are unnamed in this game, being referred to simply as "ROCKET", since most Trainers were not given names until [[Generation II]].

===Generation II===
[[File:Rocket Executive Sugimori.png|thumb|230px|Generation II art by [[Ken Sugimori]] for the {{Trading Card Game}}]]
In [[Generation II]], Executives were a special class that retained the same as other members of Team Rocket, '''Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいん''' ''Team Rocket member''), but each had the name '''Executive''' (Japanese: '''のかんぶ''' ''Executive''), and a sprite distinct from Rocket Grunts of the same gender.

In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Team Rocket has four male executives and one female executive (who is battled twice). They battle the player at [[Team Rocket HQ]] and [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

Two Executives, one male and one female, also appear in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], along with a pair of Rocket Grunts, interrupting the player's progress through the [[Gym Leader Castle|Johto Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated [[Jasmine]]. Because their teams contain the distinctive Pokémon Vileplume and Houndoom, they appear to be inspired by two of the admins from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.

===Generation III===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, two higher-ranking members of Team Rocket appear in command of the [[Rocket Warehouse]]. They seem to be two of the [[Ariana|same]] [[Archer|members]] who would head the Team in Johto three years later. Here, their Trainer class was changed to '''Team Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだん''' ''Team Rocket'') in order to remain identical with the Grunts', whose sprites they also shared. However, they are both given the name '''Admin''' (Japanese: '''かんぶ''' ''Executive'').

[[File:HGSS Rocket Executives.png|thumb|Petrel, Archer, Ariana and Proton in the opening of HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In the Rocket Warehouse, the female Team Rocket Admin is battled before going into the male administrator's room. She objects that Team Rocket is disbanded, but after a battle, admits that it probably is and as a final act, turns off the floor so that the player can go back and heal. After defeating the male Team Rocket Admin, he sees the player's {{badge|Earth}} and realizes that the [[Viridian City]]-based Team Rocket has disbanded; he then tells the player that he will find [[Giovanni]] and revive Team Rocket.

The Team Rocket Admins are the same people as the Rocket executives in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, as hinted by the similarity in their teams and the male administrator's determination to revive Team Rocket after he is defeated, as well as the information given on the computer screen which the Rocket administrator was working on ("The influence of magnetic waves on Pokémon evolution"). This is linked to what happened in Generations II and IV, when Team Rocket used radio waves to evolve the {{p|Magikarp}} at [[Lake of Rage]].

===Generation IV===
Their Trainer classes are finally dissociated from those of the Grunts when they make a return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where they are each known as an '''Executive'''. However, the Japanese Trainer classes remain unchanged from Generation III, but they are still given names. They are all adapted from the Executives from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} but given individual names and identities. Their names, [[Proton]], [[Petrel]], [[Ariana]], and [[Archer]], refer to real-life rockets or missiles in all languages, much like [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, who were named after {{wp|Astronomical object|celestial bodies}}.

{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} changed the number of Executives slightly: a Grunt in [[Slowpoke Well]] was amalgamated with an Executive in the Radio Tower to become [[Proton]], and the Executive in Giovanni’s office in the [[Team Rocket HQ]] was merged with the Executive disguised as the [[Radio Director]].

==In the anime==
It is unknown whether or not there are executives as present in the {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, as {{an|Giovanni}} is still in control of the organization. Instead, the anime tends to focus much more on high-ranking Team Rocket field agents such as [[Domino]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]. {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]] were also inclusive to the ranks of [[Team Rocket]], working as hired spies hunting {{OBP|Latios|M05}} and {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, but this was only in the English dub.

==In the manga==
[[File:Rocket Executives Adventures.png‎|200px|thumb|Team Rocket Executives in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga===
The four [[Generation IV]] Executives appear in the [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]] manga, fulfilling similar roles as in the games.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]] are Team Rocket executives. [[Blaine]], previously an executive, left the organization because of problems with {{adv|Mewtwo}}. In the {{chap|Yellow}}, the executives were recalled by {{adv|Giovanni}} after he saw a battle between [[Lance]] and {{adv|Yellow}} and realized he still had much to learn.

In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, executives are replaced by two sub-leaders, [[Sham]] and [[Carl]], while the real Leader is the [[Masked Man]]. The characters of male and female Executive from [[Generation II]] were adapted as Carl and Sham, respectively.

==Trivia==
* Though Rocket Executives are members of Team Rocket, like {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt}}s and {{tc|Scientist|Scientist}}s, the background theme played when fighting them is the normal Trainer battle theme in {{3v|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. This was rectified in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where all members of Team Rocket-related Trainer classes play the Rocket battle theme.
* In merging multiple Executives together, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} introduced a plot hole: [[Petrel]] is present in both the [[Radio Tower]] and the [[Team Rocket HQ]] at the same time. When the player first visits [[Goldenrod City]], a guard comments on the Director's changed nature:
:''"Sorry. Authorized personnel only beyond this point. It wasn’t that way before. There’s something wrong with the Director…"''

An '''Executive''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive''), known as a '''Team Rocket Admin''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive'') in Generation III, and as a '''Rocket Executive''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいんのかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket executive member'') in Generation II, is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. They are the highest ranked members of [[Team Rocket]] after [[Giovanni]], and are the heads of [[Team Rocket]] after he abandons the organization. They tend to use a combination of {{type|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

There are four of them: three men and one woman. They were unnamed in [[Generation II]], but they all got individual names and sprites in [[Generation IV]]. [[Archer]] disbands Team Rocket after he is defeated.

==Differences between Generations==
===Generation I===
There aren't any distinct Rocket Executives in [[Generation I]]; however, both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear in {{game|Yellow}} ranked higher than grunts, guarding the room where Giovanni waits in the [[Rocket Hideout]] and [[Silph Co.]] However, they are unnamed in this game, being referred to simply as "ROCKET", since most Trainers were not given names until [[Generation II]].

===Generation II===
[[File:Rocket Executive Sugimori.png|thumb|230px|Generation II art by [[Ken Sugimori]] for the {{Trading Card Game}}]]
In [[Generation II]], Executives were a special class that retained the same as other members of Team Rocket, '''Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいん''' ''Team Rocket member''), but each had the name '''Executive''' (Japanese: '''のかんぶ''' ''Executive''), and a sprite distinct from Rocket Grunts of the same gender.

In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Team Rocket has four male executives and one female executive (who is battled twice). They battle the player at [[Team Rocket HQ]] and [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

Two Executives, one male and one female, also appear in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], along with a pair of Rocket Grunts, interrupting the player's progress through the [[Gym Leader Castle|Johto Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated [[Jasmine]]. Because their teams contain the distinctive Pokémon Vileplume and Houndoom, they appear to be inspired by two of the admins from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.

===Generation III===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, two higher-ranking members of Team Rocket appear in command of the [[Rocket Warehouse]]. They seem to be two of the [[Ariana|same]] [[Archer|members]] who would head the Team in Johto three years later. Here, their Trainer class was changed to '''Team Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだん''' ''Team Rocket'') in order to remain identical with the Grunts', whose sprites they also shared. However, they are both given the name '''Admin''' (Japanese: '''かんぶ''' ''Executive'').

[[File:HGSS Rocket Executives.png|thumb|Petrel, Archer, Ariana and Proton in the opening of HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In the Rocket Warehouse, the female Team Rocket Admin is battled before going into the male administrator's room. She objects that Team Rocket is disbanded, but after a battle, admits that it probably is and as a final act, turns off the floor so that the player can go back and heal. After defeating the male Team Rocket Admin, he sees the player's {{badge|Earth}} and realizes that the [[Viridian City]]-based Team Rocket has disbanded; he then tells the player that he will find [[Giovanni]] and revive Team Rocket.

The Team Rocket Admins are the same people as the Rocket executives in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, as hinted by the similarity in their teams and the male administrator's determination to revive Team Rocket after he is defeated, as well as the information given on the computer screen which the Rocket administrator was working on ("The influence of magnetic waves on Pokémon evolution"). This is linked to what happened in Generations II and IV, when Team Rocket used radio waves to evolve the {{p|Magikarp}} at [[Lake of Rage]].

===Generation IV===
Their Trainer classes are finally dissociated from those of the Grunts when they make a return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where they are each known as an '''Executive'''. However, the Japanese Trainer classes remain unchanged from Generation III, but they are still given names. They are all adapted from the Executives from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} but given individual names and identities. Their names, [[Proton]], [[Petrel]], [[Ariana]], and [[Archer]], refer to real-life rockets or missiles in all languages, much like [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, who were named after {{wp|Astronomical object|celestial bodies}}.

{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} changed the number of Executives slightly: a Grunt in [[Slowpoke Well]] was amalgamated with an Executive in the Radio Tower to become [[Proton]], and the Executive in Giovanni’s office in the [[Team Rocket HQ]] was merged with the Executive disguised as the [[Radio Director]].

==In the anime==
It is unknown whether or not there are executives as present in the {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, as {{an|Giovanni}} is still in control of the organization. Instead, the anime tends to focus much more on high-ranking Team Rocket field agents such as [[Domino]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]. {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]] were also inclusive to the ranks of [[Team Rocket]], working as hired spies hunting {{OBP|Latios|M05}} and {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, but this was only in the English dub.

==In the manga==
[[File:Rocket Executives Adventures.png‎|200px|thumb|Team Rocket Executives in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga===
The four [[Generation IV]] Executives appear in the [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]] manga, fulfilling similar roles as in the games.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]] are Team Rocket executives. [[Blaine]], previously an executive, left the organization because of problems with {{adv|Mewtwo}}. In the {{chap|Yellow}}, the executives were recalled by {{adv|Giovanni}} after he saw a battle between [[Lance]] and {{adv|Yellow}} and realized he still had much to learn.

In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, executives are replaced by two sub-leaders, [[Sham]] and [[Carl]], while the real Leader is the [[Masked Man]]. The characters of male and female Executive from [[Generation II]] were adapted as Carl and Sham, respectively.

Years later, in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Archer, Ariana, Petrel, and Proton, who collectively call themselves the Four Generals, appear in Johto searching for {{p|Arceus}} and its [[Plate]]s to accomplish their plan of making Giovanni return to Team Rocket's leadership.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
[[Grey]] from the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga is based on the male Executive design. His role within the team is based on [[Archer]]'s.

An '''Executive''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive''), known as a '''Team Rocket Admin''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive'') in Generation III, and as a '''Rocket Executive''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいんのかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket executive member'') in Generation II, is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games.

===Generation II===
[[File:Rocket Executive Sugimori.png|thumb|230px|Generation II art by [[Ken Sugimori]] for the {{Trading Card Game}}]]
In [[Generation II]], this class technically didn't exist as all the characters who would eventually carry the title retained the same class as other members of Team Rocket. Thus, their Trainer class was '''Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいん''' ''Team Rocket member'') and each had the name '''Executive''' (Japanese: '''のかんぶ''' ''Executive''), with the sprites only differing between genders. They battle the player at [[Team Rocket HQ]] and [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

Two Executives, one male and one female, also appear in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], along with a pair of Rocket Grunts, interrupting the player's progress through the [[Gym Leader Castle|Johto Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated [[Jasmine]].

===Generation III===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, two higher-ranking members of Team Rocket appear in command of the [[Rocket Warehouse]]. They seem to be two of the [[Ariana|same]] [[Archer|members]] who would head the Team in Johto three years later. Here, their Trainer class was changed to '''Team Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだん''' ''Team Rocket'') in order to remain identical with the Grunts', whose sprites they also shared. However, they are both given the name '''Admin''' (Japanese: '''かんぶ''' ''Executive'').

[[File:HGSS Rocket Executives.png|thumb|Petrel, Archer, Ariana and Proton in the opening of HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In the Rocket Warehouse, the female Team Rocket Admin is battled before going into the male administrator's room. She objects that Team Rocket is disbanded, but after a battle, admits that it probably is and as a final act, turns off the floor so that the player can go back and heal. After defeating the male Team Rocket Admin, he sees the player's {{badge|Earth}} and realizes that the [[Viridian City]]-based Team Rocket has disbanded; he then tells the player that he will find [[Giovanni]] and revive Team Rocket.

The Team Rocket Admins are the same people as the Rocket executives in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, as hinted by the similarity in their teams and the male administrator's determination to revive Team Rocket after he is defeated, as well as the information given on the computer screen which the Rocket administrator was working on ("The influence of magnetic waves on Pokémon evolution"). This is linked to what happened in Generations II and IV, when Team Rocket used radio waves to evolve the {{p|Magikarp}} at [[Lake of Rage]].

===Generation IV===
Their Trainer classes are finally dissociated from those of the Grunts when they make a return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where they are each known as an '''Executive'''. However, the Japanese Trainer classes remain unchanged from Generation III, but they are still given names. They are all adapted from the Executives from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} but given individual names and identities. Their names, [[Proton]], [[Petrel]], [[Ariana]], and [[Archer]], refer to real-life rockets or missiles in all languages, much like [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, who were named after {{wp|Astronomical object|celestial bodies}}.

==In the anime==
It is unknown whether or not there are executives as present in the {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, as {{an|Giovanni}} is still in control of the organization. Instead, the anime tends to focus much more on high-ranking Team Rocket field agents such as [[Domino]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]. {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]] were also inclusive to the ranks of [[Team Rocket]], working as hired spies hunting {{OBP|Latios|M05}} and {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, but this was only in the English dub.

==In the manga==
[[File:Rocket Executives Adventures.png‎|200px|thumb|Team Rocket Executives in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga===
The four [[Generation IV]] Executives appear in the [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]] manga, fulfilling similar roles as in the games.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]] are Team Rocket executives. [[Blaine]], previously an executive, left the organization because of problems with {{adv|Mewtwo}}. In the {{chap|Yellow}}, the executives were recalled by {{adv|Giovanni}} after he saw a battle between [[Lance]] and {{adv|Yellow}} and realized he still had much to learn.

In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, executives are replaced by two sub-leaders, [[Sham]] and [[Carl]], while the real Leader is the [[Masked Man]]. The characters of male and female Executive from [[Generation II]] were adapted as Carl and Sham, respectively.

Years later, in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Archer, Ariana, Petrel, and Proton, who collectively call themselves the Four Generals, appear in Johto searching for {{p|Arceus}} and its [[Plate]]s to accomplish their plan of making Giovanni return to Team Rocket's leadership.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
[[Grey]] from the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga is based on the male Executive design. His role within the team is based on [[Archer]]'s.

==Trivia==
* Though Rocket Executives are members of Team Rocket, like {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt}}s and {{tc|Scientist|Scientist}}s, the background theme played when fighting them is the normal Trainer battle theme in {{3v|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. This was rectified in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where all members of Team Rocket-related Trainer classes play the Rocket battle theme.

The '''Director''' (Japanese: '''きょくちょう''' ''Director'') is the head of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. He appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

==In the games==
A key part of all Johto-based games is [[Team Rocket]]'s invasion of the Radio Tower. After defeating many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Grunts}}, the player meets up with who is assumed to be the Director. It turns out that this Director is merely an impostor: [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Executive}} [[Petrel]] disguised as the Director. Once he has been defeated, Petrel will reveal that the Director is in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. After rescuing him, the real Director will give the {{key|IV|Card Key}}, that will give access to the fifth floor, where Team Rocket's {{tc|Executive}}s are.

Once Team Rocket has been conclusively defeated and disbanded, the Director will express his gratitude by awarding an item. In {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}} he will give the [[Silver and Rainbow Wings|Rainbow Wing]], in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|SoulSilver|s}} he will give the [[Silver and Rainbow Wings|Silver Wing]], and in {{game|Crystal}} he will give the [[Clear Bell]]. The Director supposedly found the item given when the tower previously there was knocked down, and they are all used in summoning a [[Legendary Pokémon]], specifically the [[game mascot]]s {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Suicune}} respectively.

[[File:Eusine Mary Director Mirei Adventures.png|thumb|230px|right|Hiro (leftmost) in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Director, known as '''Hiro''' (Japanese: '''ヒロオ''' ''Hirō''), appears as a recurring character in this series. He first appears in ''[[PS105|Smeargle Smudge]]'' inviting {{adv|Gold}} to participate in a radio show at the Goldenrod Radio Tower. He is later seen with [[DJ Mary]] broadcasting events such as Gold's race against [[Whitney]], her visit to [[Mahogany Gym]] and the battles between [[Gym Leader]]s from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, he appears with Mary broadcasting the [[Pokéathlon]] events. When [[Lance's Dragonite|Lance's rampaging Dragonite]] suddenly attacks the area, Hiro ends up landing on its head. He is saved by Gold, who forces him to drive all the way to [[Ecruteak City]] so that he can see the [[Kimono Girl]]s. When he arrives at the Ecruteak Gym destroyed by {{p|Arceus}}, Hiro decides to make a two-hour radio special to cover the events.

Later, when the battle with Arceus had ended, Hiro arrives, where he reveals his plan to Gold. Much to Gold's confusion, Hiro had recorded the events with a video camera despite working in the radio business. Hiro reveals that he plans on going into the television business, and has already thought up a show for children called [[Proteam Omega]], which is based on {{adv|Red}}'s {{cat|Red's Pokémon|team}}.

IIMarckus: Bring my userpage up to date.

I’m '''[https://iimarckus.org/ IIMarckus]'''. I do reverse engineering and some programming, and have an unreasonable nostalgia for the Game Boy.

== Categories ==

As of 05:40, 20 October 2008 (UTC), I count 2118. Of these, 142 begin with the word “user.” In addition:

Category:Event Pokémon tags consists solely of templates for userpages saying who has what event Pokémon.

Nineteen categories are of the form “Episodes focusing on <character>.”

Nineteen categories are of the form “Episodes directed and storyboarded by <person>.” This is despite the fact that for each of these persons exist two separate categories of the form “Episodes directed by <person>” and “Episodes storyboarded by <person>.”

When Category:Female characters and Category:Male characters were created, over seven hundred pages were edited solely to put them in one of these categories.

Every single page in Category:GB Islands is a stub.

Sixty‐six categories are of the form “Ships with <character>.” Of these, thirty‐two consist of only one page.

== Generation VII learnsets ==

Hi there. First of all, I want to say that your help in updating Pokémon learnsets is much appreciated. However, I'd like to request that you update the tutoring learnsets and the "by a prior evolution" learnsets as well, in the same edit that you update the level up, TM, and breeding learnsets. It is very confusing for the average reader to see some Generation VII and some Generation VI learnsets on the same page. The tutoring ones should be simple—almost all Pokémon don't learn any tutor moves in Sun and Moon. The only exceptions are the starter Pokémon and some event Pokémon. If a Pokémon doesn't learn any tutor move in Sun and Moon, just put {{template|learnlist/tutor7null}} where the usual entries would go, while also changing the header and footer to their Gen VII equivalent. The moves exclusive to prior evolutions are basically the level-up moves that their prior evolutions can learn that the Pokémon cannot learn by any other way. If you need some examples to go by, use any Generation I Pokémon's page as a reference. Thanks a lot! --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 21:01, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

: Before anything else, I'll be sure to go back and update the pages I've already touched to do this, and will also do so going forward. --[[User:ChristopherFritz|ChristopherFritz]] ([[User talk:ChristopherFritz|talk]]) 21:06, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
::The Pokémon in the headers and footers are supposed to be the Pokémon of the page you're editing, not the lowest stage in the evolution line. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 22:29, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

::: Can you provide an example where I made a mistake? I noticed that the breeding moveset is supposed to have the lowest evolution (is that correct?) and was just now "fixing" that on my earlier pages. Was I mistaken? --[[User:ChristopherFritz|ChristopherFritz]] ([[User talk:ChristopherFritz|talk]]) 22:31, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

:::: Aha, I see now. I saw one of the pages has the lowest evolution for breeding, but I see now that others do not. I'll unfix my wrong fixing. --[[User:ChristopherFritz|ChristopherFritz]] ([[User talk:ChristopherFritz|talk]]) 22:32, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

== Japanese Crystal save files ==

Hi. In the last year there’s been a fair amount of work done [https://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=7509.0 reverse engineering the Mobile Adapter]. One thing that would be useful is any extant data from the News Machine. Do you happen to have any surviving save files or cartridges from that time period that touched the Mobile Adapter, or know someone who does? If so, I’d love if you’d email me at iimarckus@gmail.com.

White City

2016-04-20T23:30:27Z

IIMarckus: Revert back to the ripped JPG. Switching to a screenshot that gives less of a view of the city is not good.

[[File:Whitecity.jpg|thumb|250px|right|White City in Pokémon Stadium 2]]
:''Not to be confused with [[White Forest]] or [[Black City]].''

'''White City''' (Japanese: '''ホワイトシティ''' ''White City'') is the city visited in the [[Nintendo 64]] [[Pokémon games|game]], [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. The city's most notable sites are the large [[Stadium Cup|Pokémon Stadium]], the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]], the prestigious [[Earl Dervish|Earl]]'s Pokémon Academy, and the [[Gym Leader Castle]]. {{ga|Silver}} can be fought here.

==Areas of interest==
===Kid's Club===
White City also features a Kid's Club where {{player}}s can play [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|minigames]] involving various Pokémon competing which each other for the best score or best time. Kid's Club features a minigame champion mode where players compete to collect the selected amount of coins and the winner of the game gets to see a display of the Pokémon from the minigames that player won in. If the [[Nintendo 64]] [[Transfer Pak]] is attached alongside one of the [[Game Boy]] or [[Game Boy Color]] Pokémon games and that player wins the minigame champion mode, then the coins that were selected will be distributed to the [[Coin Case]] in the respective game.

The club also features a new quiz game where one player can tackle as many questions as they can answer within a certain time limit. The modes Easy, Normal, and Hard determine the type of questions that appear. The quiz game also features a multiplayer mode where players compete to answer questions until one player reaches a score of ten. White City also has a Free Battle arena where players can battle against each other using Pokémon from [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], and even fight a CPU player.

===Gym Leader Castle===
{{main|Gym Leader Castle}}
The Gym Leader Castle is divided into two parts: the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] Gym Leader Castles. The Johto Castle features the Johto region [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]], the {{pkmn|Champion}}, and even four [[Team Rocket]] members. Completing the Johto Castle will unlock the Kanto Castle, where the eight Kanto Gym Leaders from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} can be battle. If the player is victorious against all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, they are allowed to challenge {{ga|Red}}.

===Oak's Laboratory===
The [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]] is only accessible with a Game Boy or Game Boy Color Pokémon game inserted in the Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak. The lab features a PC system much like a [[Pokémon Center]] with an easier way to organize, move, and transfer Pokémon. The PC can be used to transfer items and mail as well and even release Pokémon. The PC features a special box called the N64 Box, this being the storage system for Pokémon Stadium 2 and can be used to transfer Pokémon in a different form of trading by dropping off the Pokémon for whichever game the player are sending them to (i.e., Red) and then insert {{game|Red and Blue|s|Red}} in the Transfer Pak and transfer the Pokémon from the N64 Box to one of the PC Boxes in the actual game. The transfer can also be done to the current Pokémon party as long as an available space exists.

Also, a [[Pokédex]] is available for viewing much like the original Pokédex, but with more detailed areas with pictures of Pokémon. A trade machine is also here where two Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak holders can trade between each other rather than using link cables. A special case for items called the Metal Case (for Gold and Silver) lets the player drop off items and keep them in the game, and can be used to transfer items to other players, much like Pokémon. The Color Case is for {{3v|Red|Blue|Yellow}} versions only, and can be used like the Metal Case.

===Earl's Pokémon Academy===
{{main|Earl's Pokémon Academy}}
Earl's Academy is a sophisticated library for new players and veterans who want to learn more about their Pokémon. The academy features a Class Room where players can learn about the game, get quizzed on it, then battle against students learning various battle techniques. If all classes are completed, the player unlocks the question mark door, which enters data about {{game|Crystal}} (only when used in the Transfer Pak) alongside a data entry for the move {{m|Curse}}. Besides that, some moves are highlighted indicating that those moves have extra features which can be viewed at the top of the screen.

===Game Boy Tower===
{{main|Game Boy Tower}}
The Game Boy Tower allows players to play their Pokémon Game Boy and Game Boy Color games on the TV screen with wallpaper and two loading features: Load Little and Load Max.

===Other===
When the player completes all of the [[Stadium Mode]]s and the Gym Leader Castle, the player is rewarded access to VS [[Rival]] cave where they can battle against Silver. Defeating Silver not only finishes the game, but also unlocks the Rival Cave map for Free Battle mode. Most maps from the game must be played on at least once to unlock them on Free Battle mode. The last feature of White City is Your Room, where player's can decorate their room with various items held in the game. The items can be increased by utilizing [[Mystery Gift]] from the main menu.

A '''Lass''' (Japanese: '''ミニスカート''' ''Miniskirt'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are depicted as average young girls in clothing resembling school uniforms. Lasses appear to be the female counterparts of {{tc|Youngster}}s and they grow up to be {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}}.<ref name="NOM 2000-07" />

They use a variety of Pokémon but tend to use cuter and/or common Pokémon such as {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, etc.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Giselle.png|thumb|150px|Giselle]]
A Lass makes a very brief appearance in the theme songs ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Theme]]''. She wears an orange blouse with a red ribbon and a green miniskirt, and {{AP|Pikachu}} runs under her. The character of [[Giselle]], who appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', seems to be loosely based on the Lass design.

===In Pokémon Origins===
A Lass makes a brief appearance in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO01|File 1 - Red]]'', being one of the Trainers residing at the [[Pewter Gym]]. Later in ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was briefly seen battling another Lass with his {{p|Charmeleon}}.

'''Lass''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] at the beginning of the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Expansion Pack}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Base Set}}, with both prints featuring an illustration by [[Ken Sugimori]]. Lass has both players reveal their hands, then shuffle any Trainer cards back into their respective decks.

Pokémon Gold and Silver beta

2012-05-23T09:58:02Z

IIMarckus: /* First screenshots */ This is clearly because the sprite is the same color as the map, just like the player’s hat alternates between colors in the other screenshots.

The development cycle of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, released in 1999 in Japan and 2000 elsewhere, is probably the most discussed and researched of all releases of Pokémon games in the history of the franchise. A relatively broad amount of official material in combination with later investigations reveal a lot of details about incomplete and unreleased elements. Several aspects from their prototype versions are proof of the over two year development period [[Game Freak]] undertook with the sequels of the [[Generation I]] games.

==First mention of Pocket Monsters 2==

In 1997, Nintendo announced the first details of the next generation of Pocket Monsters games, to be titled '''Pocket Monsters 2: Gold and Silver'''. The games were intended to be released at the end of the year for both [[Game Boy]] and [[Super Game Boy]].

One of the many additions promised, notably, was a skateboard that could be used in addition to the [[Bicycle]] of the previous games and would allow users to travel to "unusual places". Though this never made the final cut, other things announced, such as the [[time|real-time clock]], {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 new Pokémon}}, including [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions of old Pokémon]], new [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s containing new [[move]]s were included. The trading and communication abilities of the games were also to be improved, and [[Time Capsule|backward compatibility]] with the Generation I games was also announced.

| Concept art depicting {{colorlink|Ledyba|000}}, {{colorlink|Silver|000}}, and the introductory cutscene from {{colorlink|Gold and Silver|000}}
|}

===New Pokémon in the anime===
The {{pkmn|anime}} also provided early looks at the new Pokémon. {{p|Ho-Oh}}, the eventual [[version mascot]] of Pokémon Gold, appeared in the [[EP001|first episode]]. Later, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} hatched from an egg {{Ash}} himself found, and [[Misty]] became the first main character to own a [[Generation II]] Pokémon. {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Marill}} made their first appearances in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', and {{p|Donphan}} appeared at the start of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. During [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|the second season]], Ash and Misty also encountered {{Tracey}}, who owned a {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}; {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, the version mascot of Pokémon Silver, was the focus of [[M02|the second movie]], in which {{p|Slowking}} also appeared. {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, and {{p|Elekid}} also made an appearance in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''.

===First screenshots===
The color scheme in these screenshots was not as varied as the one provided by the [[Game Boy Color]]. Instead, the colorscheme of these screenshots indicates that the games initially used a palette-changing feature that was present on the [[Super Game Boy]] (as well as the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] games and {{game|Yellow}}), with different areas being colored differently (such as [[Pewter City]] having a gray palette, [[Cerulean City]] having a blue palette, and so on).

At this time, the early game screenshots released generally didn't look all that much different from [[Generation I]]. The pictures clearly show the games' engine being in a more developed but still early stage. The lack of battle images would seem to indicate that a redone battle system had not been implemented yet.

The end of 1997 passed without a release for Pocket Monsters 2: Gold and Silver. The potential release date was removed, and things generally stayed quiet until early 1998.

It was at this time that the games were reannounced as Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver. Though the "2" was dropped, the games remained essentially a sequel to [[Generation I]]. Much of the year was quiet with regard to information about the games, as [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pocket Monsters: Pikachu]] was on its way out in Japan, and {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the [[Pokémon anime]] were on their way to the United States.

Following nearly a year without press releases, the Nintendo site was finally updated with new information on Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver. A revised release date of June 1999 was given and it was announced the games would be compatible with the then soon-to-be-released [[Game Boy Color]].

[[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork for {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, and {{p|Hoothoot}} was also released, as were several screens of the new battle system featuring fully colored sprites.

The battle screens are very similar to the final ones; however, the absence of [[gender]] notation is apparent. Pokémon gender was a previously announced feature, and the display of gender during battle was likely added later as a convenience to players.

The attack stats window, which in the final version tells players the remaining and total PP of each move, as well as its type, was apparently not fully completed at this point in development.

The battle system, nearly complete, was demonstrated, including wild Pokémon encounters. The new [[Pokédex]], while close to completion, was still missing several features, such as the [[footprint]] and [[National Pokédex]] number of the Pokémon. The "location", "[[cry]]", and "print" functions were also missing.

The images released look very similar to the images that appear in the final versions of the games. The locations shown don't appear to be part of the final map, though they look similar.

Since Pokémon Gold and Silver were released, other things have been uncovered that reveal interesting details about the games' development. The final games have a large number of incomplete maps that detail what most [[Johto]] towns looked like during development. One of the most complete prototype maps found in their programming is a rough version of the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]]. Surprisingly, it has several of its attributes defined, such as music, connections to [[Fuchsia City]] and even wild Pokémon found by fishing in a small pool in the area, which other prototype maps do not have. The Safari Zone also appears in the internal list of [[Pokégear]] map locations, along with [[Viridian Forest]], [[Cerulean Cave]], and {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}. Another complete map is a house in [[Olivine City]], where a woman refers to a pharmacy in [[Ecruteak City]] instead of [[Cianwood City]]. It is unknown if this is a typo made by the game designers or if this means the Cianwood Pharmacy was originally meant to appear in Ecruteak.

Full maps (minus events) exist for the [[Cinnabar Island]] Lab, indicating Cinnabar Island was originally to make an appearance without the erupted volcano, or at least that the lab was going to remain.
Apart from maps, other uncovered elements include a mine cart image in the cave tileset, and a second card-flipping [[Game Corner]] game. There is also an unused event script, complete with text, which would allow a different event for a level 40 {{p|Entei}}, analogous to the birds in [[Generation I]].

In addition, the games include large amounts of unreferenced text. For example, one block of text references the fact that [[Honey|Sweet Honey]], which made its debut in [[Generation IV]], was planned as early as [[Generation II]]. Code and text remain for yet another forgotten feature, the ability to name the player's mother. Space is reserved in RAM for two other names as well, which default to RED and GREEN — the player character and rival from Red and Blue.

The {{t|Bird}} type from [[Generation I]] remains in [[Generation II]]. This is presumed to be a carryover from the [[Generation I]] game engine, as Gold and Silver are based on it. Also returning from leftover [[Generation I]] code are the [[Town Map]] and [[Poké Flute]] items. Both are named "[[Teru-sama]]" and are unusable, but if hacked to have a use option, the Poké Flute will still function, and the Town Map will attempt to, but fail, as the data it would access is now in a different location.

There is unused battle data for {{ga|Cal}}, the default opponent in the [[Trainer House]]. There are two parties - one with the basic forms of the [[Johto]] starters and one with the middle forms of the Johto starters. As [[Viridian City]] and therefore Trainer House cannot be legally accessed until late in the game, it is unknown what purpose these parties would have served.

Another beta remnant is an unused sprite. This sprite is that of the player, only not carrying his pack. This sprite may have been originally intended to be used by the {{ga|Cal}} event, but was later left in favor of the player's own sprite. This sprite is fully inserted in the game, containing all data of a normal overworld sprite, except it is not used by any known event in the game. It may have been intended as the sprite used at the start of the game (when naming the player character).

There is hidden text for an event related with the [[Burned Tower]], where someone's daughter was missing. It is possible that this event made its final debut as the missing granddaughter in the [[S.S. Aqua]].

===Beta maps===
Beta maps can be found existing in the final game's code. They appear to be a version between the ones presented originally, and the ones that were final.

Escape

2012-05-17T04:28:55Z

IIMarckus: /* Wild Pokémon */ Source: myself (http://hax.iimarck.us/post/3586/#p3586)

{{search|game mechanic|the [[Pokémon Adventures]] round whose Japanese title translates to "Escape!!"|PS268}}
----
In the main series Pokémon games, it is possible to '''escape''' from a {{pkmn|battle}} with a [[wild Pokémon]] by selecting "Run" on the main battle screen. Escape is not guaranteed however; whether the player is successful at running away from the battle is determined by a calculation involving the speed of the combatants. When the escape is successful, the battle ends immediately. When it is not successful, the wild Pokémon will attack the player's Pokémon.

It is not possible to escape from in-game {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles. However, in player battles in the Cable or Wireless Clubs, attempting to escape will cause the battle to end immediately. If only one player attempts to escape, the battle counts as a loss against them, but if both players attempt to escape in the same turn, the battle ends in a draw.

Entering a battle with a wild Pokémon and then escaping counts the Pokémon as being seen in the Trainer's [[Pokédex]].

==Success conditions==

Under normal circumstances, the chance of escaping is determined by the formula [[Image:Escape Formula.png]], where
:A is the current {{Stat|Speed}} of the player's active Pokémon,
:B is the opposing Pokémon's Speed divided by <tt>4</tt>, <tt>mod 256</tt>, and
:C is the number of times the player has tried to escape during the battle (counting the current attempt).
If F is greater than 255, the player escapes automatically. Otherwise, a random number is generated between 0 and 255. If that number is less than F, the player escapes. If not, the escape fails and the player's Pokémon does not make a move that turn.

Several other conditions can cause escape to always succeed or always fail.
* An opponent Pokémon with the ability {{a|Shadow Tag}} causes the player's escape attempts to fail if the player's Pokémon does not also have Shadow Tag.
* An opponent Pokémon with the ability {{a|Arena Trap}} causes the player's escape attempts to fail if the player's Pokémon is not {{type2|Flying}} or {{a|Levitate|levitating}}.
* The reusable held item [[Smoke Ball]] causes its holder's escape attempts from wild Pokémon to succeed.
* The items [[Escape item#Poké Doll|Poké Doll]], [[Escape item#Fluffy Tail|Fluffy Tail]], and [[Escape item#Poké Toy|Poké Toy]] can be used to escape from wild Pokémon.
* [[Trapper|Trapping move]]s used by the opponent can prevent the player from even making escape attempts.
* If the player's Pokémon is under the effect of {{m|Ingrain}}, it will be unable to escape.
* The ability {{a|Run Away}} causes escape attempts to succeed and ignores anything above that would prevent escape. This applies even if the user of Run Away has fainted.

While not effects that directly affect escape, using the moves {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}} in a wild battle forces the wild Pokémon to leave the battle, which has the same effect as escaping. However, if the wild Pokémon has the ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or has used the move {{m|Ingrain}} previously in the battle, it will be immune to Whirlwind and Roar. Similarly, a Pokémon that has the ability {{a|Soundproof}} is immune to Roar.

===Example===
The player's Pokémon has a Speed of 25 and the wild Pokémon has a Speed of 100. The player tries to escape, but hasn't attempted to flee anytime earlier in the battle.

First, calculate B: [[Image:Escape Formula Example 1.png]]

Since B isn't above 255, it is just left as is.

Then, calculate F: [[Image:Escape Formula Example 2.png]]

Since F isn't above 255, generate a random number between 0 and 255.

The probability of escaping is [[Image:Escape Formula Example 3.png]], or approximately 24%. If the player fails to escape, each successive attempt will be 30/256 more likely than the last, or about 11.7%.

[[Category:Game mechanics]]
== Wild Pokémon ==

Certain wild Pokémon can escape from battle. Pokémon that are [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] or found in the region's [[Safari Zone]] are the only ones who flee.

[[Roaming Pokémon]] attempt to flee every turn, and trapping moves can be used to prevent this.

In the [[Safari Zone]]-type areas, Pokémon that are encountered will escape from battle if "angered". In all of these games, the rate of escape is lowered by throwing bait{{sup|RBY}}{{sup|FRLG}}{{sup|DPPt}}{{sup|HGSS}} or [[Pokéblock]]s{{sup|RSE}} (while the [[catch rate]] is also lowered), and the rate of escape is raised by throwing rocks{{sup|RBY}}{{sup|FRLG}}, mud{{sup|DPPt}}{{sup|HGSS}}, or by "going near"{{sup|RSE}} (while the catch rate is also raised).

In {{3v|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, only a few species of wild Pokémon can escape from battle.

Low probability:
*{{p|Magnemite}}
*{{p|Grimer}}
*{{p|Tangela}}
*{{p|Mr. Mime}}
*{{p|Eevee}}
*{{p|Porygon}}
*{{p|Dratini}}
*{{p|Dragonair}}
*{{p|Togetic}}
*{{p|Umbreon}}
*{{p|Unown}}
*{{p|Snubbull}}
*{{p|Heracross}}

Medium probability:
*{{p|Cubone}}
*{{p|Articuno}}
*{{p|Zapdos}}
*{{p|Moltres}}
*{{p|Quagsire}}
*{{p|Delibird}}
*{{p|Phanpy}}
*{{p|Teddiursa}}

Always:
*{{p|Raikou}}
*{{p|Entei}}
*{{p|Suicune}} (except in {{v|Crystal}})

'''Route 42''' is a northern [[Johto]] route that passes by the entrances to [[Mt. Mortar]].

==Route description==
Upon leaving from either the western or eastern terminus, a trainer must have a Pokémon with {{m|Surf}} to continue, as the route is divided twice over by small lakes. On the small landmass between the two, there is a tree that is able to be {{m|Cut}}, leading to a trio of [[Apricorn]] trees, much like those on {{rt|37|Johto}}.

Each of the landmasses on the route also features an entrance to a different part of Mt. Mortar.

In {{game|Crystal}}, {{p|Suicune}} appears on the overworld near the Apricorn trees, but flees if the {{player}} gets close.

'''Cyndaquil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒノアラシ''' ''Hinoarashi'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quilava}} starting at [[level]] 14, who evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Cyndaquil is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]].

It can also be obtained in {{game|Emerald}} if the player has completed the [[Hoenn Pokédex]] and talks to [[Professor Birch]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Its fur is bluish on top of its body, but a milky color on the underside. Although called the Fire Mouse Pokémon, Cyndaquil seems to be a composite of features from the echidna, seen in the flames erupting from its back, and the shrew, the general shape of its body. Its eyes are often closed, as it is still young. It has four red-colored spots on its back from which its flames erupt. It lacks claws on its forelimbs, but has a single claw on each hind foot.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself by using the fire on its back. The fire grows more powerful as the Cyndaquil becomes more angry or defensive. Cyndaquil is also able to expel {{m|SmokeScreen|obscuring smoke}} to lower the accuracy of its opponent.

===Behavior===
Cyndaquil are usually timid, but its actual behavior depends on its personality. It tends to hide in most dangerous situations. Most Cyndaquil, like {{OP|Ash|Cyndaquil}}, are inexperienced at start and don't know their strengths and weaknesses. If Cyndaquil is angry or surprised, such as from being attacked, it flares up its back for protection. Although its flames may burn vigorously in this emotional state, if Cyndaquil is tired the flames sputter fitfully with incomplete combustion.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Cyndaquil can adapt to many habitats, however, most are found in the care of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, having been their [[starter Pokémon]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Cyndaquil]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] captured a {{AP|Cyndaquil}} in ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''. During its early days on Ash's team, Cyndaquil was easily tired-out (e.g. waiting a while for the flames on its back to ignite so it could use {{type2|Fire}} attacks). Eventually, Cyndaquil overcame its shortcomings. Ash left his Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his [[Johto]] [[Party|team]] (save for {{p|Pikachu}}), at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab when he set out for [[Hoenn]]. Later, Ash called Cyndaquil back into his party for the [[Sinnoh League]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''. It evolved into {{p|Quilava}} after a battle with [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]].
[[File:Dawn Cynda.png|thumb|250px|Dawn's Cyndaquil]]
[[File:Cyndaquil egg.png|thumb|250px|Dawn's Cyndaquil as an egg]]

====[[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]====
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} defeated {{an|Lyra}} in a battle, winning an {{pkmn|egg}}. Shortly after, the egg hatched into a Cyndaquil. It later evolved into a [[Quilava]] in [[SS024]].

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
Cyndaquil first appeared in the anime in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'' as one of the three starters [[Professor Elm]] had to give out at his lab.

{{jo|Jimmy}} chose Cyndaquil as his [[starter Pokémon]]. By ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', it had become a {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.

{{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} has a pet Cyndaquil.

A Cyndaquil is owned by one of the students of Snowpoint Trainers' School in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''.

Cyndaquil has a role in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' alongside the other [[Johto]] starters, {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Kiaraway Cyndaquil MPJ.png|thumb|right|Kiaraway's Cyndaquil in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Kiaraway]], a Fire-type Pokémon Trainer, owns a male Cyndaquil. He is one of his most used Pokémon, first appearing with {{p|Vulpix}} in ''[[PPP50|Vulpix and Cyndaquil]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Exbo}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} took the Cyndaquil from [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to try to catch the thief {{adv|Silver}}. He named the Cyndaquil "[[Exbo]]" for the explosive fire from its back. After undergoing a bit of training with the rest of Gold's Pokémon, it evolved into {{p|Quilava}} and became a much more adept battler, and weeks after {{adv|Silver}} and its owner's loss against the [[Masked Man]], again evolved into a {{p|Typhlosion}} as [[Megaree]] and [[Silver's Feraligatr|Croconaw]] evolved, as well. Its even greater power then enabled it to gain the upper hand in Gold's rematch with the villain, melting his ice body with its firepower augmented by {{DL|Gold (Adventures)|Sunbo}}'s {{m|Sunny Day}}.

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

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

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

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Cyndaquil is not a Poké Ball item anymore. It is only a trophy.

====Trophy information====
A Fire Mouse Pokémon. It's a timid creature that often curls up into a ball. When threatened, it flares up the flames on its back to scare off enemies. When it's angry, it can produce powerful flames, but when it's tired, it has trouble producing fire and suffers from incomplete combustion. When it levels up, it evolves into Quilava. Its squinty eyes are adorable.

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

==Trivia==
* Cyndaquil is so far the only Fire-type [[starter Pokémon]] that is not primarily red or orange. This holds true for its evolutions, but not its shiny form.
* Cyndaquil is the only Fire-type starter that retains its single typing throughout its entire evolutionary line.
** Cyndaquil's evolutionary line is one of two three-stage Fire-type families that retains its single typing; the other is {{p|Magby}}.
* Cyndaquil along with {{p|Chimchar}}, are the only two starter Pokémon that evolve at level 14, the lowest level starters evolve at. Coincidentally, both are the Fire-type choice in the regions introduced in an even-numbered generation.
* Cyndaquil is the second starter Pokémon to be seen hatching from an {{pkmn|egg}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the first being {{p|Mudkip}}.
* Despite being able to learn {{m|Swift}} via level up, it can't learn it via move tutor.

===Origin===
Its appearance is based on the {{wp|echidna}}, but it also has traits of {{wp|shrew}}s, such as its long snout.
====Name origin====
Cyndaquil's name is a combination of the words ''cinder'', meaning ashes, and ''quill'', referring to needle-like hairs. ''Hinoarashi'' could be taken to mean 火の嵐, storm of fire, but it is likely to also be based on 山荒 ''yama-arashi'', {{wp|porcupine}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Feurigel - From ''Feuer'' (fire) and ''Igel'' (hedgehog).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Hericendre - From ''hérisson'' (hedgehog) and ''cendre'' (ashes).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 브케인 ''Bukein'' (''Bucane'')

== Userboxes ==

Are a fad and I refuse to display them here.

== Categories ==

As of 05:40, 20 October 2008 (UTC), I count 2118. Of these, 142 begin with the word “user.” In addition:
* 47 begin with the name of a video game, followed by “user.”
* 15 begin with the name of a type, followed by “user.”
* 6 begin with the name of a web browser, followed by “user.”
* 6 begin with the name of a type of Internet connection, followed by “user.”
* 3 begin with the name of an operating system, followed by “user.”

Category:Event Pokémon tags consists solely of templates for userpages saying who has what event Pokémon.

Nineteen categories are of the form “Episodes focusing on <character>.”

Nineteen categories are of the form “Episodes directed and storyboarded by <person>.” This is despite the fact that for each of these persons exist two separate categories of the form “Episodes directed by <person>” and “Episodes storyboarded by <person>.”

When Category:Female characters and Category:Male characters were created, over seven hundred pages were edited solely to put them in one of these categories.

Every single page in Category:GB Islands is a stub.

Sixty‐six categories are of the form “Ships with <character>.” Of these, thirty‐two consist of only one page.

IIMarckus: /* Trivia */ This is definitely not true. The real reason is essentially “it’s random” and isn’t important enough to put here.

'''Janine''' (Japanese: '''アンズ''' ''Anzu'') is a [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Kanto League]]. She is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Fuchsia City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Fuchsia Gym]], after her father, [[Koga]], is promoted to the [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation II]]. She specializes in {{type2|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{Badge|Soul}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her.

==In the games==
Janine's first appearance was in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. Following [[Koga]]'s promotion to the [[Elite Four]], she succeeded him as the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Fuchsia Gym]]. Like her father, she is known as "The Poisonous Ninja Master", and uses {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in battle. She appears in the same capacity in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Originally, Janine's goal was to use {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon just as well as her father. After becoming a Gym Leader, Janine hopes that by applying herself, she'll improve her skills and become better than her father, and (following her loss) the {{player|protagonist}}.

When encountered in her Gym, Janine hides behind the invisible walls that were installed prior to [[Generation I]]/{{gen|III}}. To further confuse her challengers, the junior Trainers of the Gym are disguised like Janine. Once they have been defeated, the Leader will battle with a team of Poison-type Pokémon. Once defeated, she will yield the {{badge|Soul}} and a Poison-type [[TM]]: {{TM|06|Toxic}} in Generation II; {{TM|84|Poison Jab}} in Generation IV.

Like the other Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto, Janine will leave her Gym from time to time in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Every evening between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, she can be found at the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]] near {{ka|Victory Road}}, on her way to visit her father and deliver his lunch (from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, she will say she is done delivering the lunch and offer to take a [[photograph]] with the player). She will give travelers her phone number, after which she can be called on Monday afternoons to arrange a rematch at [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]]. On Mondays, she can be found in the [[Celadon Department Store]] arguing with [[Falkner]] over which of their parents is the superior Trainer.

Before the events that led to her employment as the Gym Leader, Janine hung around outside the Fuchsia Zoo. She will tell the protagonist of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} that Koga is teaching her how to use Poison Pokémon in an obvious reference to the previously released Generation II games.

Janine also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. This is the only time in which her active team contains Pokémon not of the Poison-type.

===Pokémon===
This listing is for Janine's Pokémon in the video games in which she has appeared.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[File:Janine Special.png|right|thumb|Janine and her Ariados]]
Janine is the daughter of [[Koga]], and the new Gym Leader at [[Fuchsia City]]. She does, however, leave town on many occasions to perform various jobs/ simulations for anyone with the money to hire her. She was shown in ''[[PS136|VS. Crobat]]'' to be in the middle of such a job, pretending to steal a large pearl to test the security at the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Museum. After completing it, she pauses on a rooftop to wonder what she is doing with her life.

Her father, being both a ninja and a member of [[Team Rocket]], had hoped to make her a member as well, both serving their master, [[Giovanni]]. But with Koga and Giovanni's disappearance, she was left alone and unguided. Searching for not just her father, but a master, Janine found herself in the same situation as {{p|Suicune}}, whom also was searching for a Trainer in its upcoming battle.

Suddenly, Suicune appeared before Janine, and challenged her with her Crobat. Suicune seemed initially caught off-guard by her tactics, but soon won. Before he left, Janine expressed her desires for finding her own master, just as she felt Suicune was.

Janine later fought against [[Falkner]] at the Gym Leaders Challenge. Despite overwhelming attacks, she forfeited the match when she left the battlefield, pursuing who she thought was her father. She never did catch the mysterious person, however, and it is unknown if they will ever meet again.

==Trivia==
* In the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, her name is mistakenly listed as '''Charine'''.
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Janine's Pokémon are the lowest leveled of all the Kanto Gym Leaders. This may reflect her status as the newest Gym Leader.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Janine can appear in two places at once. When she is called for a rematch on Monday during the day, she will be at the [[Fighting Dojo]] and in the [[Celadon Department Store]], talking to [[Falkner]].
* Chuang Yi mistakenly refers to her by her Japanese name, '''Anzu''', rather than her English name, in {{PAV|11}} of Pokémon Adventures. This was corrected in following volumes.
* In the Generation II games, her whole Pokémon team was the opposite gender to her despite the 50-50 gender ratio. This was changed in HeartGold and SoulSilver, in which she has an all female team rather than an all male team like before.
*Janine is the only Generation II/IV Gym Leader not to make an appearance in the anime.
*In the English versions of the Generation II games, there is a grammatical error in the sentence where she bestows the Soul Badge on to the player. This was corrected in the remakes.

==Useful article?==
Ummm... isn't the Pikachu you get in Yellow pretty much as variant as any other starter? If we have an article on Red's Pikachu, what's to say we shouldn't on Red's/Leaf's/Blue's Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur (and I mean the game ones), Gold's/Silver's/Kris's Typhlosion, Feraligatr, and Meganium, and so on? Heck, for those, the articles would need to be separate for the player characters' Pokémon, because while most do evolve their starter all the way, you can still choose not to. I move for a redirection to [[Starter Pokémon]]. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

== An observation on egg hatching ==

"When a Pokémon is still in its egg, its happiness value is ignored and the happiness value is used as a decrementing step value that triggers the egg hatch when it reaches zero."
''Unlikely'' - Cheat search couldn't find any values in RAM that decreased by any amount each step. Also, if "decrementing step value" means the happiness value is subtracted from a seperate counter (which I couldn't find), why do higher values give longer wait times? On 50, the egg would "take a long time" to hatch, while on 1 it was almost ready. --[[User:Kyoufu Kawa|Kyoufu Kawa]] 18:18, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Quickly putting: is there anyway to check a Pokémon's happiness in Generation II games? It'd be useful to know at least wether my Pokémon are at maximum happiness or not. -- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 13:28, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

== Herb Items ==

I have two Ambipoms, same level, same Attack IV, same nature and same Attack EVs.
I got them to from trade because a friend of mine had borrowed them.
One has Frustration and the other one Return.
I gave 10 Energy Roots to the first and walked less than 200 steps, and the second one, I did nothing but walk around (a little).

I used them in PBR, against the same Pokémon and Return caused much more damage than Frustration, but I thought Frustration should be meaximum power.

Can anyone explain? {{unsigned|Diby esp}}

== Healing Items and Drink Items ==

In Generation IV, do these two types of items that help Pokémon recover HP have different Happiness bonuses?
I am asking because I have heard/read this from somewhere some time ago, and I would like to hear from Bulbapedia regarding this. Thank you. --[[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 12:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
:I think its, stat vitamins, like Protein and Iron greatly boost happiness. Other items somewhat boost happiness, and herbal medicine lowers happiness. That's all I can think of.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Ditto uses the move {{m|Transform}} to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It is sought out for its ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No eggs}} group, including genderless ones.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish gelatinous blob with vestigial facial features. However, it can take the form of anything.
====Gender differences====
Ditto is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ditto is capable of {{m|Transform}}ing in to an an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|Mew}}), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in [[Pokémon Snap]] (in which several Ditto are transformed into {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto can not mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon eggs of the more rare Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the [[starter Pokémon]].

===Behavior===
Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DittosMysteriousMansion.gif|right|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with [[Duplica's Ditto]].]]
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', [[Drake (Orange Islands)|Drake]] of the [[Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named [[Mini-Dit]]. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''. A Ditto suited Brodie well because he ''is'' a master of disguise.

==In the manga==
Ditto is one of the members on {{Special|Blue}}'s team in [[Pokémon Special]]. As a master of transformation, Blue uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance, camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Blue's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{Special|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}.

Duplica and her Ditto are seen in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into {{Ash}}, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

Ditto is also featured in ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' under the ownership of [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee.]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{M|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Trozei!]]: Ditto serves as a "wild card", meaning it can Trozei with any Pokémon and must be used to get rid of Jammer Balls. One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ditto is found in many dungeons. In a complete twist from its previous appearance in Trozei, in this game it is quite useless. While Transform gives the user the appearance of a random Pokémon found on the current floor, it does not copy the opponent's moves or stats. In addition, it only has 1 PP, allowing only one use per dungeon without restoring items. After using Transform, Ditto's only options are to {{M|struggle}} or use the basic tackle attack exclusive to Mystery Dungeon.

==Trivia==
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding.
*Ditto is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Lapras}}.
*In {{g|Snap}}, Ditto take the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} towards the end of the game. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Professor Oak treats the photo as that of a real Bulbasaur, although Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by a Ditto in the {{pkmn|anime}}, although it was understood in the anime that this was not normal.
*It is one of the few Pokémon that has the same sprite on [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].
* Ditto's Generation III sprites, its appearance in Melee and anime appearances show a pink color, contrasting the purple hue displayed elsewhere.

===Glitches===
Ditto has been closely associated with several [[Glitch|Pokémon glitches]]. When an [['M]] is captured in the Red and Blue versions, the trainer will still be in battle and an invisible Ditto will be where 'M once was. Additionally, Ditto is a necessary Pokémon for carrying out Method #3 of the [[Mew Glitch]], a glitch capable of allowing the player to run into any Pokémon or any glitch Pokémon ([http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html]). Furthermore, if a glitch involving a Ditto's {{m|Transform}} is performed, it will learn the {{m2|Cooltrainer|Cooltrainer move}}.

In [[Generation II]] by exploiting the factors determining a shiny Pokémon one can get a shiny Ditto by transfering the Red Gyarados to [[Generation I]] and making a wild Ditto copy its IV and transferring it to [[Generation II]].

In [[Generation IV]], more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, a Ditto using Transform during a battle can duplicate the Pokémon's [[held item]] as well as its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Additionally, another glitch allows it to Transform and then keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became permanently, allowing it to pass down previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations to ''any'' Pokémon in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do this with any {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon by way of {{m|Sketch}}.

===The Transform Paradox===
If Ditto (or another Pokémon with only {{m|Transform}}) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 [[PP]] each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike what is the case with {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}. This is likely why no Trainers have Ditto in the Generation IV games, except in the {{si|Battle Tower}}, where one can always retire.

===Origin===
Ditto strongly resembles an {{wp|amoeba}}, a single-celled organism with no definate shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular compostion. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals.It may also be based on an undifferentiated cell, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It also can be based on a {{wp|blob}}.
====Name origin====
A ''ditto'' is a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. Ditto's Japanese name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'', ''monster'', and possibly ''transformation''.

Swimmer (Trainer class)

2009-02-01T23:52:48Z

IIMarckus: /* Trivia */ untrue, opinion, not based in fact, etc

A '''Swimmer''' is a type of [[Pokémon trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. Originally, they only came in male versions, '''Swimmer♂''' (Japanese: '''かいパンやろう''' ''Swimsuit Guy''), but in [[Generation II]], female swimmers, '''Swimmer♀''' (Japanese: '''ビキニのおねえさん''' ''Bikini Lady'') were introduced.

They specialize in {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

==Appearance==
The Japanese versions show the male Swimmers wearing Speedo. This was changed to shorts in the dubs.

==In the manga==
In the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, a {{p|Feebas}}-hunting Swimmer appears in [[PS208]]. When {{Spe|Ruby}} accidentally crashes into his trap laid for the Feebas, he forces Ruby into helping him with his hunt.

Later, the same swimmer appears in [[Slateport City]]. While the contest hall collapses, he helps the shocked Ruby out of the hall.

The '''Dragon's Den''' (Japanese: '''りゅうのあな''' ''Dragon's Hole'') is a location in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.

After defeating [[Blackthorn City]]'s [[Blackthorn Gym|Gym]], the player is granted access to the underground den. At the end of the Den's maze is the home and shrine of the Master of the Dragon User Clan, who will then give the player a quiz on the treatment of their Pokémon, and the players attitude to their Pokémon.

There are only three kinds of [[wild Pokémon]] to be found in the water: {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Dragonair}}, and {{p|Dratini}}. Dratini and Dragonair are pure {{type2|Dragon}}s and Magikarp evolves into {{p|Gyarados}}, which learns some Dragon-type [[move]]s.

Skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are in the Dragon's Den. Players should heal their Pokémon and bring {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}}s or {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}s and {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Parlyz Heal}}s before entering.

In [[Generation II]], {{ga|Silver}} is found here on some days, contemplating his training.

In Crystal, players can enter the building in the den, where the Dragon Master will give them a {{p|Dratini}} with {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} for answering his questions correctly.

List of Pokémon with form differences

2009-01-30T18:12:56Z

IIMarckus: grammar

'''Form differences''' are major, visible differences between individuals within one [[Pokémon#species|species of Pokémon]]. Sometimes, this will as well extend to the Pokémon's types and stats, though this is not always the case.

Certain forms have specific names, and are usually specific to one or two Pokémon. When form differences concern [[legendary Pokémon]], the forms are named as "Formes".

==In the games==
===Unown===
{{p|Unown}} was the first Pokémon that was revealed to have visual differences between individuals of the species. Each and every Unown, from the species' debut in [[Generation II]], would have a form whose appearance corresponds to one of the twenty-six letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. In [[Generation III]], two more forms were added, which correspond to the question mark and exclamation point.

The [[Unown Dex]] of Generation II listed various words that corresponded to the different forms, though the stats of the Unown are not dependent on which form it takes. In Generation III, Unown's form is determined by its [[personality value]].

===Spinda===
Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's [[personality value]], and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats. Unlike Unown, however, these differences are rarely repeated, as the calculation uses the entirety of the personality value—a number that can range from zero to more than four billion.

|}

===Castform===
The introduction of {{p|Castform}} in [[Generation III]] brought about the concept of interchangeable forms. Unlike other Pokémon with alternate forms, Castform changes its appearance, as well as its type, with the [[weather]]. If the battle is being conducted in clear conditions, a sandstorm, or fog it appears in its Normal Form and is a {{type2|Normal}}. If the sun is shining brightly, though, Castform will assume its Sunny Form and the {{type2|Fire}}. During rain, it will transform into its Rain Form and assume the {{type2|Water}}. Finally, while it is hailing, Castform will change into its Hail Form and become an {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon. The type and form will change at any time the weather does, and Castform will return to its Normal Form once the battle has concluded.

|}

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}}, the final Pokémon of [[Generation III]], is the first known Pokémon to change its [[base stats]] and [[move]] compatibility in addition to its appearance depending on the Forme it takes, with its {{stat|Defense}}, Normal, {{stat|Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}} Formes.

In Generation III, each of Deoxys's Formes is game-specific, with Normal Forme only being accessible in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, Attack Forme appearing only in {{v2|FireRed}}, Defense Forme only appearing in {{v2|LeafGreen}}, and Speed Forme appearing only in {{v2|Emerald}}. When the five games are linked, the different Formes can battle each other using their specific stats, however, if traded among games, Deoxys will become the Forme it appears in in that game.

All four of Deoxys's Formes appear in [[Generation IV]], and can be freely changed by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].

===Burmy and Wormadam===
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms, being the first Pokémon whose evolution depends on a specific form. Like others, Burmy can change form freely, depending on where it last participated in a battle actively ([[Exp. Share]] maintains a Burmy's form if it does not leave the [[Poké Ball]]), however, Wormadam's form is permanent.

If a Burmy last battled or was hatched in a grassy outside area, it will be in its basic state, the Plant Cloak. This form of Burmy is covered in leaves and twigs, and if female, will eventually evolve into Wormadam in its Plant Cloak, a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon.

After battle on a beach or in a cave, or if it is hatched there, Burmy will be in a sand-and-rock-covered form, its Sandy Cloak. If a female, it will eventually become Wormadam in its Sandy Cloak, which is, rather than Bug and Grass, a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

Finally, if a battle has been conducted inside of a building, or if this is where Burmy hatches from its egg, it will be in a pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}-covered form, the Trash Cloak. Like the other forms, if it becomes Wormadam while in this form, it will be the {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Wormadam Trash Cloak.

A Wormadam's stats and move compatibility vary with her form, in addition to type and appearance. The cloak a male Burmy takes on before evolution makes no difference in the long run, as it sheds it upon evolution into {{p|Mothim}}.

===Cherrim===
Like Castform, {{p|Cherrim}} changes its appearance depending on the weather, though not with all kinds. It will be in its normal Overcast Form if the weather is anything but sunny, and its Sunshine Form when the sun shines brightly. Due to its ability, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} will also increase in its Sunshine Form. Unlike Castform, however, its type does not change.

|- align=center

===Shellos and Gastrodon===
Another [[Sinnoh]]-native [[evolution]] family, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} also have a difference, depending on, this time, whether the Pokémon in question was caught east or west of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Like others before, neither form can change to the other, but unlike other multiple-form Pokémon, the appearance of the mother is the determinant to the appearance of the hatched Pokémon.

Both West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon take on a pink appearance, while their East Sea cousins take on a blue hue. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.

===Rotom===
In August of 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, five silhouetted Pokémon were shown, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were alternate forms of {{p|Rotom}}.

In each of these forms, Rotom has possessed a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. Heat Rotom, which is based on an {{wp|oven}}, can have {{m|Overheat}}, Wash Rotom, based on a {{wp|washing machine}}, learns {{m|Hydro Pump}} on assuming that form, Frost Rotom, a {{wp|refrigerator}}, learns {{m|Blizzard}}, Spin Rotom, based on a {{wp|fan (mechanical|fan}}, learns {{m|Air Slash}}, and Cut Rotom, based on a {{wp|lawnmower}}, learns {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

Despite this new variance in move types, all forms of Rotom retain their {{2t|Ghost|Electric}} typing, though all alternate forms have a slightly higher base stat total than Normal Rotom.

|}

===Giratina===
{{p|Giratina}}, much like Deoxys had been earlier, was announced to have an alternate form in the then-upcoming ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' in February, 2008. One of the two forms is the familiar form to players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, designated as Altered Forme Giratina, while the other is a more serpentine Forme that was not previously known, the Origin Forme.

The Origin Forme is known as Giratina's natural Forme, which it appears in in its home of the [[Reverse World]]. If it travels to the [[Pokémon world]], it assumes its Altered Forme. Both Formes appear in {{game|Platinum}}, where Giratina is captured in the [[Distorted World]], its home, in its more offense-oriented Origin Forme, and will revert to the defensive Altered Forme outside of this area unless it holds the [[Platinum Orb]].

|}

===Shaymin===
As with Giratina, an alternate Forme of the event Pokémon {{p|Shaymin}} was announced to appear in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and is, in fact, the sky warrior as described in the title. This new Sky Forme of Shaymin, with the previously-known form now called the Land Forme, has a completely altered appearance and, rather than being a pure-{{type2|Grass}}, is now {{2t|Grass|Flying}}.

Like Giratina and Deoxys's transformations are activated by an external source, Shaymin's is activated by contact with a [[Gracidea Flower]], whose bouquets look almost like a sleeping Shaymin.

|}

===Arceus===
{{p|Arceus}} has eighteen different Formes, each with a slightly different coloration, which correspond to the eighteen different [[elemental types]].

Arceus's transformation between these Formes is brought about by its held item: if it is holding a [[plate]], it draws its type from that plate as stated in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]], while remaining {{type2|Normal}} when not holding a plate or holding any non-plate item. The [[Unknown type|???-type]] Forme of Arceus is currently unavailable in any manner, as there is no plate to turn it to this type.

===Other Pokémon===
*The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that the markings on its belly differ between [[region]]s.
*{{p|Shellder}} also changes between bivalve and spiral-shaped variations depending on whether or not it is attached to a {{p|Slowpoke}}'s {{p|Slowking|head}} or {{p|Slowbro|tail}}.
*In [[Generation IV]], there are many Pokémon with slight sprite differences based on their [[gender]].
*[[XD001]] was a {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Lugia}} so thoroughly corrupted that its appearance changed.
*[[Primal Dialga|A Dialga]] also changed its appearance when it lost control of time in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
*{{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in Pearl says that the special patterns on its back vary from region to region. However, this has yet to be proven, since this Pokémon only has been obtainable in [[Sinnoh|one region]] during [[Generation IV|the latest generation]].

Swimmer (Trainer class)

2009-01-30T18:10:02Z

IIMarckus:

A '''Swimmer''' is a type of [[Pokémon trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. Originally, they only came in male versions, '''Swimmer♂''' (Japanese: '''かいパンやろう''' ''Swimsuit Guy''), but in [[Generation II]], female swimmers, '''Swimmer♀''' (Japanese: '''ビキニのおねえさん''' ''Bikini Lady'') were introduced.

They specialize in {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. In Pokemon Stadium, the nicknames of the Male Swimmer's Pokemon end with "mer."

==Appearance==
The Japanese versions show the male Swimmers wearing Speedo. This was changed to shorts in the dubs.

==In the manga==
In the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, a {{p|Feebas}}-hunting Swimmer appears in [[PS208]]. When {{Spe|Ruby}} accidentally crashes into his trap laid for the Feebas, he forces Ruby into helping him with his hunt.

Later, the same swimmer appears in [[Slateport City]]. While the contest hall collapses, he helps the shocked Ruby out of the hall.

In the Pokémon Sunday video appears the RS artwork just to confirm that he was, but you can see the Emerald outfit clearly. --[[User:Nick.|Nick.]] 04:40, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Do anyone knows if Brendan appears in the 11th movie with his Emerald clothes??.... Yeah, he does. --[[User:Nick.|Nick.]] 02:04, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

==About Brendan and his clothes in the 11th movie==
Okay, this is beginning in controversy. I see the Emerald outfit there, and I'm not the only. Just, like in my talk page, compare this two images, one from the 7th or 9th movie, an the other from the Pokémon Sunday video of the 11th movie.
Brendan in R/S clothes:

[[Image:Brendancameo.PNG]]

This is obvious, the red is there.

And this:

[[Image:MovieBrendan.png|250px]]

Why do anymore see the green and the orange there? I know that the R/S outfit have the sleeves longest, but just the clothes are not exactly as of the games. Lucas' outfit is more blue, but in the game is totaly black.
But, I recommend that just wait for a HQ image, or the movie online, and do not comment that. --[[User:Nick.|Nick.]] 03:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

::The manga shows that, but it's left ambiguous in the games and anime. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 00:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

==Brendan and May==
I need help, this may sound silly but it would really understand more, you see, as you very well know, in the game, Brendan and May can be chosen as a playable character, and if you choose may then, may'll have a mother while Brendan will have a father (which is Prof Birch) and that's how things can be accounted for in the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games, if Brendan is referred to as the rival, then he'll select a stronger pokemon then May and from then on he'l keep that throughout the story.

Well in the anime, it acts the same way, in the movies, he appears as the owner of a mudkip while May is torchic's trainer, i wouldn't think this is so if Brendan never made an anime appearance but since he did, does this mean he is the son of Prof Birch?, i'm not to sure, but i think the game rules applies in the anime as well, it's like the anime itself choose May as the primary player so maybe this would be true and in the game, May and Brendan talked to each other, does May even know who Brendan is?. [[User:Gaiden|Gaiden]] 13:44, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

== Champion of Hoenn==
In the Anime Wallace said that he is no longer the champion and Steven Stone seems to have a simular appearance to Emerald could that mean Brendan is the champion? [[User:Tsg812|Tsg812]]
9:41 PM, 24 August 2008
:Explain[[User:Darth Cookie Monster|DCM]]
::I'd imagine the explanation to go like so: if Wallace, in the DP saga, is not Hoenn's current acting Champion of the E4, and Steven having made no indication, way back in Dewford, that he was Champion then or ever, and also not indicating he's shooting for that position, would perhaps Brendan be Champion. My vote: no. [[User:ArcToraphim|ArcToraphim]] 03:14, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

==Sibling theory==

I have noticed that Brendan and May could be siblings. This also applies to Dawn and Lucas. Whichever character the player chooses to be, they will come from the same town, have the same mother and father etc. They may be from separate families in the game, but Dawn and Lucas also have similar hair tone. This may have been obvious to some people already, but should it be mentioned in their articles? [[User:Hellkaiserryo12|Hellkaiserryo12]] 21:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

:Doesn't sound plausible to me. I don't understand what you're talking about when you say that they "have the same mother and father", but are "from separate families", that sounds like a contradiction. The gender the player chooses at the start pretty much sets the canon for the player character and the alternate-gender-turned rival (which, of course, is unwieldy when writing about the games at times), so either May is Birch's daughter or Brendan is Birch's son, but never both/neither in the same save file in game canon. Same goes for Dawn and Lucas and their respective family situations. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 21:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I think they mean they may be cousins. I don't think they're cousins,they don't appear to know each other,and their parents don't act family like [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 05:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

== (Game), In the anime. ==

Does anyone else see something strange in the fact that the very first section of this article, Brendan '''(game)''', is about some cameos in the ''anime''? Either that shouldn't be in the article at all, or it should be moved to a spot underneath the game information. -[[User:Stephen93|Stephen93]] 16:34, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't that be un-determinded? He may just have a baggy hairdo,and 2 colors of hair. That's somewhat common in anime. [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 05:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Blue (game)

IIMarckus: /* Quotes */

"...previously referred to as Gary in early manuals..."
I checked a few of my manuals:
* English Red: refers to him as "rival"
* English Blue: refers to him as "rival"
* Japanese Blue: refers to him as "Red (rival)"
* Japanese Yellow: refers to him as "Blue (rival)"

So, is the piece about him being referred to as Gary referring to the instruction manuals somewhere, or to players guides? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

Interesting. I was going off an official Nintendo strategy guide from Red/Blue. It said Gary in every instance. I said early because in a yellow version one I used to have it no longer said Gary and switched to either Blue or Rival, can't remember which. But if in the actual manuals it's not mentioned, then it should probably be taken out. --[[user:greengiant|greengiant]]

Ah yes, I may know the strategy guide. The anime came out before the games by about a month in the US, so that may be why they chose to use "Ash" and "Gary" -- or even because they knew kids would be used to the anime regardless of when it came out. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

Haha. Yeah I have a couple "official" guides that always refers to him as Gary, never "your rival". Which always annoyed me. The only use those guides serve is as an attack reference anyway. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 09:16, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

>Shouldn't he be taken out of the anime characters category? - Zeta

Unfortunately, "Anime Category" is bound to the "Gym Leader" category. If you want to remove it from the anime category, and ensure each Gym Leader properly has this category where applicable, that'd be great. I don't have time at the moment to do it myself. Janine falls into the same spot as being listed in anime -- or was she in it? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

Why does this page list Blue's Charizard as having Aerial Ace in Red/Blue/Green? Aerial Ace wasn't introduced until 3rd Generation. I don't know what it should be, but it definitely isn't Aerial Ace. --[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 02:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

::Looks like there was another error with Blue's Charizard that's been hanging there since forever. It was listed as having Dragon Dance, which was introduced in GenII. So I assume it knew Flamethrower instead, but if anyone has a R/B version where they can challenge Blue at Route 22, then I'd be much obliged if they checked me on that. Or, if someone can simply find confirmation on its moves, but I don't know where they might find that. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 13:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

== Hmmm..... ==

Okay, in Yellow, we know that how Blue evolves Eevee depends on the first two battles. (battle 1=Prof Oak's lab, battle 2=Route 22)

Jolteon: Win battles 1 and 2

Vaporeon: Lose battle 1, lose/skip battle 2

Flareon: Win battle 1, lose/skip battle 2

BUT! What if the player loses the first battle and then wins the second battle? Does Blue not evolve Eevee at all? Is its evolution chose randomly? I lost my Yellow Version YEARS ago, so I couldn't find out myself. I'm [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]], and I approve this [[User Talk:Missingno. Master|message.]] 23:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

:It's not based specifically on each individual battle. It's based on the number of times you beat him. If you beat him both times, then it's Jolteon. If you beat him one time, it's Flareon. If you didn't beat him either time, it's Vaporeon. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 16:20, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

== A few things ==

The tables of his Pokémon are a bit too much. Any way to fix it? It's annoying to load. Also, in the table for other names, there's an extra column. Lastly, Gary has more than one sprite in the games where he's a rival. [[User: Tc26|'''tc''']][[User talk: Tc26|'''2''']][[Special: Contributions/Tc26|'''6''']] 02:27, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
:It's Blue, not Gary. And we've changed the sprites for his Final Confrontation as Champion for RB. Originally, his RB sprite was used for the yellow tables, because neither Bulbapedia, nor anywhere else on the internet, or so it seems, has the yellow trainer sprites. So I'm ripping them and uploading them as I go. But that means it will take me a bit of time to get to the Championship battle in Yellow, so I'll upload it when I get there (I'm currently at Bill's House in Yellow, but I'm speedplaying).

:Oh, and about the tables being a bit too much, that's the new standard for Bulbapedia. The old version of the pages had just the species names and levels for each encounter, and maybe the moves for the final encounter. So deal with the levels, because it's a real pain to make, and we're not going to revert all that hard work we've done over the last several days. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 13:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
:Starting with battle 4 there's a new Blue sprite in Yellow and FRLG, and most likely RB. There's also a third (champion) sprite. Just thought I'd throw that out. [[User:Gligar|'''Gli''']][[User talk:Gligar|'''gar''']] 21:04, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

So... Perhaps due to Tc26's complaint back on the 19th, or simply perhaps because we're goin gto have a new standard, TTEchidna has changed the charts on the Brock Page so as that the tables show more information, the version sprites, and can be hid. Shall we do this for Blue as well? [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 18:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

==Champion==

This article claims "It is a mystery who Blue's predecessor as Champion was." however, isn't it supposed to be a twist that Blue is the Champion and the player is expecting themselves to be the Champion after beating Lance? Also, I'm sure Lance implies that Blue is the first person to defeat the Elite Four... so surely we are to believe that Blue did not have a predecessor as Champion?
:I agree. It was only by second generation that "Champion" became a title for a standard character, who remains champion for good (though I guess Daigo got ousted by Mikuri, but we'll let that one slide...). The original games imply that beating Wataru makes the player the champion. I quote: "Congratulations, [player], you are now the new Champion! ...Or, you would have been, ...etc." RGBY imply that one only needs to beat the Four Heavenly Kings to become the Pokémon League Champion, but from GSC on, the current Champion was a role that was expected to be faced after the Shitenno. In a way, they (the game designers) decided that the Lord of the Four Heavenly Kings (in myth, the Shitenno always serve a master) was as much an important role so it really becomes more like 5 elite trainers, though I guess they are supposed to serve whoever is the current greatest. The fact the Champion stays on until you decide to not challenge the Shitenno any more and move on to the next game (after which you, the player, truly is the champion, as we see that Red was Champion during the years between RGBY and GSC), the role of Champion seems more like the game designers didn't know what they were going to do with it from then on. Wataru's sudden appearance as the Champion is somewhat of a twist too; if he's a wandering trainer and no longer a member of the Shitenno, it's a surprise that he's the champion. Similarly Daigo, Mikuri, and Shirona all have plot-related roles, and thus are the surprise ending Champions. But at the time of RGBY, they didn't really know they would be using these non-rival Champions, so we can't really say that there had to have been a Champion before Green. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 17:00, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

== Generation III Champion sprite ==

Down in the Trivia section, it says that Generation III does not give Blue a separate Champion sprite, and I just wanted to point out that that's not true; it's just that no one's uploaded Blue's other FR/LG sprites. Anyways, I didn't want to start an edit war or anything, so I thought I'd point it out first. [[User:Okoa|Okoa]] 17:46, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
:True. How could anyone write such bullshit? I just LOVE it when so-called "fans" jump into conclusion. And that's all from someone's laziness. Thanks for pointing this out, otherwise Bulbapedia would have yet another false information. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 17:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
::Ahhh, that looks so much better. Thank you for uploading them! [[User:Okoa|Okoa]] 18:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

== Quotes ==

Do we only have Blue's Champion quote because those are the only ones we could find or because otherwise the page would become overcrowded?

'''Suicune''' (Japanese: '''スイクン''' ''Suikun'') is a {{type2|Water}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is, along with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, one of the [[legendary beasts]] created by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after the burning of the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]].

{{an|Suicune}} is pursued, both in the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{game|Crystal}}, by [[Eusine]].

Suicune is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Crystal}}, appearing on the boxart.

[[Suicune (Pokémon 4Ever)|Suicune]] was a major character in the movie ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Suicune is a blue cheetah-like creature with white rhombus-shaped spots and a white underside. Suicune has two white streamer-like tails and a purple cape that resembles a northern aurora or a flowing river. It has a hexagon-shaped crest on its forehead and has cat-like paws.

====Gender differences====
Suicune is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Suicune has the power to purify dirty water and can walk across water. Northern winds always seems to blow where ever it shows up. Because Suicune is the embodiment of the north winds, it is able to learn and use almost every attack with relation to the wind (such as {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Icy Wind}}, {{m|Blizzard}} and even {{m|Tailwind}}, making it the only non-Flying type to do so). Suicune, like the other [[Legendary Beasts]], is also extremely fast, but, interestingly, it does not learn {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} naturally. It also sports limited mental powers.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Since Suicune is a member of the Legendary Beast Trio, Suicune races around the land. Some say it searches for a pure reservoir. Many speculate that Suicune and the rest of the Legendary Beasts are indeed not unique species because in [[Pokémon 4Ever]], [[Professor Oak]] speaks as if the Suicune in question was a specific Pokémon of that species.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Suicune Pokemon 4Ever.JPG|thumb|left|[[Suicune (Pokémon 4Ever)|Suicune in Pokémon 4Ever.]]]]
[[Image:For Ho-oh the Bells Toll.jpg|right|thumb|Suicune in the anime.]]
Its first appearance is in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch that 'Dile]]'' when {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] spot Suicune in the middle of a lake near [[New Bark Town]]. When it spots the group, it runs off.

The first significant and lengthy appearance of {{an|Suicune}} is in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. In the course of the movie, it demonstrated its ability to purify water, as well as doing battle with Dark {{an|Celebi}}.

Another significant appearance is in the episode ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', where it appeared in [[Ecruteak City]] after one of the [[Crystal Bells]] from the [[Tin Tower]] was destroyed.

Suicune also appears in [[Sinnoh]] in ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind!]]''.

It was a friend to two young [[Nurse Joy|Joys]] named [[Marnie and Paige]]. Suicune saved {{Ash}} and Paige.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
Suicune was awakened by {{Special|Yellow}} along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] looking for {{pkmn|trainer}}s to help them defeat the [[Mask of Ice]] to free {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Suicune, in particular, personally challenges nearly every single [[Gym Leader]] in the two [[region]]s. During its travels, it encounters both [[Eusine]] and {{Special|Crystal}}, both of which become obsessed with capturing it. Crystal acquires the [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bell]], but is still unable to capture Suicune. She has her confidence shattered by this and has to retreat back to her old training grounds to regain her confidence. Suicune later chooses [[Misty]] as its partner, but then pairs up with Crystal anyway after Misty becomes injured.

Suicune can communicate with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}} {{m|Extrasensory|telepathically}}.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Suicune Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Suicune in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Suicune unleashes a blast of {{m|Icy Wind}} that causes high levels of damage. Suicune returns in Brawl but with a different [[move|attack]], {{m|Aurora Beam}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{game|Crystal}}: It is possible to see Suicune multiple times on the overworld before the actual battle in [[Tin Tower]]. In these occasions, it will always hop away on being spotted.

==Trivia==
*Suicune's sprite in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} had a purple head piece, but was permanently changed to blue in {{v2|Crystal}}.
*Suicune's {{v2|Crystal}} sprite depicts a blue lower jaw, even though it is white in all other sprites.
*Despite being a sole {{type2|Water}}, Suicune displays many {{type2|Ice}} features, as well as being the only non-{{type2|Ice}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Blizzard}} naturally.
*In the anime, Suicune's body color and headpiece are more of a bluish-green color, while its in-game sprites and [[Ken Sugimori]]'s official artwork show Suicune's body being more of a sky blue color.
*Suicune is the only [[Generation II]] [[legendary Pokémon]] to appear in [[DP028|a Diamond & Pearl series episode]] so far.
*Prior to the release of {{v2|Crystal}}, a special battle music was composed when Suicune is encountered at the [[Tin Tower]]. Likewise, the same music is played when {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}} are encountered anywhere in Johto, with the exception of caves, dungeons, cities and towns, thus alerting the player that he or she is encountering any of the two.
*Suicune is the only member of the legendary beast trio that does not require the [[Mystery Part and Secret Slab|Mystery Part or Secret Slab]] to appear to the player in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]] as items can not be taken into [[Final Maze]].
===Origin===
Suicune resembles a {{wp|wolf}} or a {{wp|cheetah}}. Its ability to purify water is also reminiscent of a {{wp|unicorn}}.
====Name origin====
Suicune's name is probably based off its Japanese name, Suikun. Suikun is likely a combination of 水 ''sui'', water, and 君 ''kun'', monarch.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Crystal}}

'''Pokémon Crystal''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタークリスタルバージョン''' ''Pocket Monsters Crystal Version'') is the sixth Pokémon game in the [[Version|main series]]; however, in Japan it was actually the seventh Pokémon game. It was released as a sister game of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, which were released one year before. It featured various fixes and some new additions, including the short animations of Pokémon's battle sprites upon being released from their [[Poké Ball]] and the introduction of the option to play a {{ga|Kris|girl character}}, among others. It takes place in the region of [[Johto]] (and later in the game, [[Kanto]]) and the player's starting area is [[New Bark Town]].

==Plot==
[[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the Johto region. They begin with petty things (such as cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}} to sell as food for a high price) before becoming more devious, such as a plan to use radio frequencies to artificially induce evolution in some Pokémon, as well as trying to contact their missing leader using radio broadcasts.

The player is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand. He gives you the choice of taking along one of three different Pokémon. {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}. The player, known by default as Gold, meets [[Kanto]]'s own [[Professor Oak]] during an errand for Elm. Oak, convinced that Gold has started his own Pokémon journey, gives him a [[Pokédex]]. On the way back Gold is attacked by a spiteful and mysterious Pokémon trainer. Upon his return to New Bark Town, Gold is informed that someone has broke into Professor Elm's lab and has stolen a Pokémon, the same Pokémon that the trainer from earlier battled with; even more so, the trainer fits the description of the Pokémon thief. This character's default name is {{ga|Silver}}. He will battle the player at certain points in the game to test the player's Pokémon; being defeated is an indication for the player to level up his or her team. He will always steal for his starter a Pokémon that has a type advantage over the player's chosen one. For example, if the player chooses Chikorita, a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, he will choose Cyndaquil, a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, giving it an advantage over the Grass-type Chikorita.

Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across a man named [[Eusine]], hopeful of catching the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Suicune}}. To earn Suicune's respect, Eusine will often challenge the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}.

==Features==
===Changes from Gold and Silver===
* Another character, [[Eusine]], is added to the game. He is searching for {{p|Suicune}} as well, and will battle [[Player character|players]] to earn its respect.
* Both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be found in this game; Lugia in the [[Whirl Islands]], and Ho-Oh at the [[Tin Tower]]. They are both level 60 when they are caught. However, Ho-Oh cannot be caught until {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and Suicune are all caught.
* Changes were made to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. This included more common {{p|Unown}}, as well as a new subplot – completing enough puzzles allows the player to read a secret message left behind by the Unown. It suggests that the Unown were left behind by the ancient civilization that constructed the Ruins of Alph, and that the statues that line the interior were made by the Unown.
* Extra grass was added to the route west of [[Violet City]], and in this grass, {{p|Growlithe}} can be caught, allowing players to acquire a {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon much earlier than in other versions (assuming they did not [[Starter Pokémon|choose]] {{p|Cyndaquil}}), and making a large difference in the availability of Fire-types for areas like the [[Azalea Town|Azalea]] Gym and the [[Sprout Tower]], where Fire-types are super-effective. Areas like the [[Ice Path]] and [[Lance]]'s chamber at the [[Indigo Plateau]] received alternate designs as well.
* Players can now catch certain Pokémon that were exclusive to either Gold or Silver. For example, {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Skarmory}} are both catchable in this game but were exclusive to only a certain version previously.
* {{p|Sneasel}} appears in the [[Ice Path]], whereas in Gold and Silver it did not appear until reaching [[Mt. Silver]].
* Previously, trainers who called on the [[PokéGear#Phone|cell phone]] all said the same thing with only the names of the Pokémon they reference. Trainers are now given distinct personalities (one talks about shopping, another about grooming), and call for reasons other than battling, such as giving the player items or informing them of a rare Pokémon appearing (Wade gives the player [[Berries]], Alan gives them a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, etc).
* Raikou, Entei, and Suicune have their own special battle music when the player encounters them in the wild, making Crystal the first game to sport special [[legendary Pokémon]] battle music.
* Some trainers were repositioned on the map.
* Suicune, instead of being a side legendary Pokémon, has a prominent role in the game's storyline. The player will constantly find Suicune in various locations throughout Johto. After receiving a [[Key item#Clear Bell|Clear Bell]] (the Crystal version equivalent of the [[Key item#Silver Wing|Silver]] or [[Key item#Rainbow Wing|Rainbow Wing]]), the player will have a chance to battle and capture it in the [[Tin Tower]], and it will not run away.
* The [[Buena's Password]] radio show was added, which players can listen to on their [[PokéGear]] and receive points in order to redeem prizes.
* The chain of events to obtain the [[Badge#Rising Badge|Rising Badge]] is altered. Where previously, it involved a trip to the [[Dragon's Den]] to retrieve the [[Dragon Fang]], it now involves entering the Dragon Shrine within the Den. There, [[Clair]]'s grandfather and leader of the dragon-user clan quizzes the player on their style of battling. Clair arrives and still refuses to hand over her badge after the player passes. In response, her grandfather threatens to tell Lance, of whom Clair is terrified. If all the questions are answered correctly, the player will receive a {{p|Dratini}} that knows {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} upon returning and speaking with Clair's grandfather.
* The [[Pokémon Daycare]] folk will give a free [[Pokémon egg]] to the player.
* The "reset the clock" [[glitch]] from Pokémon Gold and Silver was fixed.

===Changes from the Japanese version of Crystal===
The English version of Crystal, while improving on the mechanics of Gold and Silver, did not reprise a number of newer features that the Japanese version had received:

* In the Japanese version, {{p|Celebi}} may be caught in the [[Ilex Forest]] after completing a short side-mission. A special mobile event allowed players to obtain, via mobile phone link-up, the [[GS Ball]]. This item, given by a nurse in the Pokémon Communication Center in Goldenrod City, may be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to investigate. After a day passes, taking the GS Ball to the shrine in Ilex Forest summons a [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to battle. Despite the fact that the GS Ball was unavailable without the use of a cheating device like [[GameShark]], the event was translated, indicating that it was intended for the English releases to include the event, but was later scrapped.
* [[Goldenrod City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]] was replaced by a much larger building, the aforementioned Pokémon Communication Center.
* Players could link to [[trade]] or [[Pokémon battle|battle]] through the use of a mobile phone adapter.
* Players could leave a Pokémon and a request the Pokémon species that it be traded for at the Pokémon Communication Center's Trade Corner. A player could also view Pokémon up for trade from other players, and trade with them. This feature was later used for the [[Global Trade Station]] of the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pearl]] versions.
* The News Machine at the Pokémon Communication Center updated over the Mobile Adapter. Pokémon News was compiled from the save data of players across Japan, allowing players to read about other players' adventures.
* The old man at the Pokémon Daycare south of Goldenrod City gave an Egg Ticket which, when taken to the Trade Center at the Pokémon Communication Center, could be traded for an Odd Egg which carried a rare [[Alternate coloration|alternately-colored]] baby Pokémon knowing {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. In the English version the old man instead gives away the egg itself.

===Gyms===
As in Pokémon Gold and Silver, there are eight Pokémon Gyms in Johto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Falkner]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Bugsy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Whitney]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Morty]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Chuck]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Jasmine]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Pryce]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Clair]] ({{t|Dragon}}).

===Elite Four===
The Elite Four, located at the [[Indigo Plateau]], also remained unchanged. The Elite trainers are [[Will]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}) and [[Karen]] ({{t|Dark}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Lance]], who uses {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Pokémon===
Each game contains pre-recorded data on all 251 Pokémon of [[Generation II|this]] and the [[Generation I|previous]] generation (including {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}). Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats. Mew (the Nintendo exclusive of Generation I) and Celebi are the only Pokémon in Gold and Silver that ''must'' be acquired through the attending of a Nintendo sponsored event.

====Pokémon not found in Crystal====
These Pokémon must be traded from the other games of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]], as they cannot be found in Pokémon Crystal.

===PokéGear===
The PokéGear is received at the beginning of the game from the protagonist's mother. It has several functions, some of which will need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards. The PokéGear displays the day of the week and the time of day, entered at the beginning of the game, a map of Johto (and later Kanto) once the Map Card is obtained, a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with, and a radio which allows the player to get tips from Professor Oak and [[DJ Mary]] on Oak's Pokémon Talk, affect how active wild Pokémon are by playing Pokémon March or Pokémon Lullaby on the [[Pokémon Music]] station, listen to the [[Lucky Channel]] to keep track of the Radio Tower's lottery promotion, or tune into [[Buena's Password]] and receive points in order to redeem prizes.

===Apricorns===
More specialized [[Poké Ball]]s were introduced in this game. A [[Lure Ball]] is more effective if used against a Pokémon caught with a [[Fishing|fishing rod]], and a [[Friend Ball]] will make a Pokémon more comfortable and friendly to its trainer much more quickly. To obtain these balls, [[Apricorn]]s must be picked from special plants found throughout Johto, and [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] will fashion these into the different balls based on their color. In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, only one Poké Ball can be created at once; in Crystal this changed so that the player could create multiple balls simultaneously, provided the Apricorns were of the same color. Players must wait until the next day for Kurt to finish the ball. Although these specialized Poké Balls and Apricorns were not in future generations, they were replaced by other specialized balls.

===Kanto===
After becoming the [[Pokémon League]] Champion, players can travel to [[Kanto]], the region introduced in Generation I, and see how things have changed over the past three years:

* A key is no longer required to open the door to [[Lt. Surge]] and the garbage cans are all empty (except for trash) in the [[Vermilion City]] Gym.
* A volcano has destroyed everything but the [[Pokémon Center]] on [[Cinnabar Island]].
* {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are no longer found in Kanto, partially because they can already be caught in Generation I. The [[Cerulean Cave]] and {{p|Mewtwo}} are also gone, though a man near the cave ruins does mention the dungeon, and an item called the [[Berserk Gene]] is found in the water near where the Cerulean Cave once was.
* [[Bill]]'s house is still present, but Bill himself now lives in [[Goldenrod City]] in Johto. The house is now home to Bill's grandfather.
* [[Blaine]] has moved his Gym to the [[Seafoam Islands]] due to the volcano eruption on Cinnabar Island (which is why Articuno and all water Pokémon in the Seafoam Islands are no longer available).
* {{ga|Blue}} (Green in the Japanese versions), the rival of Generation I, is now the leader of the [[Viridian City]] Gym. [[Giovanni]] is nowhere to be seen, though he is mentioned. {{ga|Red}}, the Generation I protagonist, appears in Johto's [[Mt. Silver]], serving as the game's true final challenge, his highest level Pokémon being a level 81 Pikachu. Red also has a {{p|Snorlax}} at level 75, a {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, all level 77, and a level 73 {{p|Espeon}}. It is interesting to note that all of the Pokémon on the team are all involved in some sort of event in Pokémon Yellow; Pikachu is the starter, Snorlax is a significant roadblock, Blastoise, Venusaur and Charizard are given to the player, and Eevee is discovered in [[Celadon Mansion]], like an event.
* [[Copycat]] still lives in [[Saffron City]], but has moved to another home. Her old house is now the [[Magnet Train]] station. After Copycat's house was torn down for the station, she received a free rail pass from a man at the station, which she gives to you after returning her [[Poké Doll|lost doll]]. According to her mother, this is the same doll that Red gives Copycat in Generation I in exchange for {{m|Teleport|TM30}}.
* Kanto Gym Leaders now use Pokémon that debuted in Johto.
* Most of the music from the Generation I games are used, with major remixing done to most battle themes, and minor remixing done to the remaining tunes.
* Most [[route]]s were shortened, but cities and towns remain the same size except [[Celadon City]], which shrunk slightly.
* Pokémon seen in the wild are different: many Johto Pokémon exist in the grass. Some Pokémon that were previously restricted to the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] (which cannot be entered) can be caught in other areas, such as {{p|Rhyhorn}} in [[Victory Road (Kanto)|Victory Road]] and {{p|Kangaskhan}} in [[Rock Tunnel]].
* [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Rocket Hideout (Celadon City)|headquarters]] in the basement of the Celadon City [[Rocket Game Corner|Game Corner]] has been sealed, although it's still alluded to by the same man in Celadon's Pokémon Center.
* The abandoned [[Power Plant]] is now in use to power the newly-opened Saffron City Magnet Train (which may have led to the departure of all the Pokémon that were infesting the plant in Generation I, including Zapdos).
* The [[Cerulean City#Bike Shop|bike shop]] in [[Cerulean City]] has been closed down, due to the owners moving to Goldenrod City in Johto.
* The "coffee man" in Viridian City has now had his coffee, and says, "Hey, kid! I just had a double shot of espresso and I am wired!" He then says that he was once good at capturing Pokémon, and asks if you believe him. However, he does not show you how to catch Pokémon regardless of whether you answer "Yes" or "No." This may be due to the [[Old Man Glitch]] in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]] leader is away training, so the Fighting Dojo only provides a [[Focus Band]] item left behind, which can be held by a Pokémon. The Fighting Dojo leader is training in [[Mt. Mortar]] in Johto. He gives you a {{p|Tyrogue}} if you defeat him.
* The [[Pewter Museum of Science|museum]] in [[Pewter City]] is closed for renovations.
* Caverns and the [[Viridian Forest]] all have the same layout as they did before (with the exceptions of [[Mt. Moon]] and the Seafoam Islands), just shrunk down.
* The player can meet and battle many of the characters from the previous games, including the rival of the original games, Green. After completing the quests in Kanto, the player can access a new area in Johto, Mt. Silver, and battle Red, the protagonist of Generation I. Another quite notable difference is that [[Koga]], Gym Leader of [[Fuchsia City]] (now a member of the [[Elite Four]]), has been replaced by his daughter, [[Janine]].
* The [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]] has been replaced by a [[Kanto Radio Tower|Radio Tower]], similar to the one in [[Goldenrod City]]. In turn, the Pokémon gravesites were moved into the newly added Soul House. Also, you can only go on the first floor due to added security (a safety precaution as a result of Team Rocket's takeover of [[Johto Radio Tower|Johto's Radio Tower]]). Only the first floor has been written in the game's code; even with the use of a [[GameShark]], the higher floors are inaccessible.
* The Safari Zone is closed while the [[Safari Zone Warden|warden]] is on a vacation. Instead, the Johto Bug-Catching Contest at the National Park takes its place. A portal to the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City can be found, but not used. However, players can use a [[GameShark]] or similar device to enter the unfinished Safari Zone.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://glitchcity.info/docs/gscsafarizone |title=US Pokemon GSC Safari Zone |publisher=Glitch City Laboratories |accessdate=2007-10}}</ref>
* The [[Underground Path (Routes 7-8)|Underground Path]] from Celadon City to Lavender Town has been sealed indefinitely, ostensibly due to vandalism. The game cites local complaints about battles there.
* Victory Road's length has been drastically shortened, and no longer includes the barriers, boulders, trainers, and pressure sensors, explaining why the trainers appear outside. Moltres is no longer there, as well.
* Viridian Forest has been reduced to a small group of trees visible outside the forest entrance, and wild Pokémon can only be caught there on the grass of what used to be [[Route 2]].

==New features==
While Gold and Silver introduced the majority of Generation II's contributions to the game mechanics, Crystal also featured several additions to the franchise that would continue even into Generation IV. Crystal introduced the option to play as a female. The game also featured the first [[move tutor]] of the series, as well as the first [[Battle Tower]]. The Japanese version of Crystal also introduced the ability to link to a wireless connection and interact with other characters (via cell phone). The [[GBA Wireless Adapter|Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] also enabled this ability in [[Generation III]], and the Wi-Fi capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS]] completely optimized the concept in [[Generation IV]] games.

==Reception==
Pokémon Crystal received good reviews, although they were not quite as positive as those of Pokémon Gold and Silver. It was praised as being the best Pokémon game to date, "definitely the version to get if you aren't already one of the upteenth billion owners of Pokemon Red, Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Gold, or Pokemon Silver" [http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=54781]. However, like Pokémon Yellow before it, and subsequently Pokémon Emerald, it was criticized for being too similar to its sister games, with IGN commenting, "there's not much in this edition that makes it a 'must buy' for folks who already own a copy or two of the previous editions" [http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=54781]. The game received an average score of 80% from [http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/375087.asp?q=pokemon Game Rankings], over 10% lower than Pokémon Gold and Silver.

==Trivia==
* People buying a [[Game Boy Color]] during the release of this game were given the option of buying a [[Game Boy Advance]] that came with Pokémon Crystal in the package.
* Due to the {{ga|Kris|female character}} not being in Gold or Silver, the sprite of the character will automatically change to the {{ga|Gold|male character}}'s sprite when trading or battling with Gold or Silver.
* Why the [[GS Ball]]-related events are not available in the English version has never been officially revealed; Nintendo says that they had FCC issues, but it is more likely a result of children with cell phones being not nearly as common outside of Japan in 2001, and to the plethora of different styles of phones in use in North America. While the mobile adapter system did not make the cut, the maps and text for the system can still be found in the English version, indicating that it was initially intended for the English release.
* Pokémon Crystal is the only [[Version#Paired versions and third versions|third version]] to have its [[version mascot]] come before the version mascots of the other two games of its generation in the [[National Pokédex]].
* Pokémon Crystal is also the only third version in a generation with three legendary version mascots to have its version mascot not in a [[legendary trio]] with the other two.

'''Route 1''' is a short north-south path located in west [[Kanto]]. Its northern terminus is at [[Viridian City]] and its southern terminus is at [[Pallet Town]]. The contour of the route is designed to be an express route heading south and a trek through numerous grassy areas heading north, both fitting considering the early portion of the storyline of [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{Gen|III}} takes trainers along Route 1 numerous times.

==Route description==
Heading south from Viridian, trainers can either hop down ledges to completely avoid any contact with wild [[Pokémon]] on their way to Pallet or they can travel through the grass patches, the required path for northbound travel. Following the grass-lined path, the route turns east then south as it enters the first patch. After a small break, the path of the route enters another patch of grass as the route turns west.

Route 1 then makes an "S", turning to the south, then to the east before returning south and west, passing through the third grassy area. The path then juts south, entering another patch before curving to the east then to the south as it enters Pallet.

There are no opponent trainers on this route in Generations I and III. However, a man who works at the [[Poké Mart]] in Viridian City will give out a free sample of [[Items#Potion|Potion]] to trainers who chat with him.

==Differences among generations==
[[Image:Route 1 Blue Red.PNG|100px|left|thumb|Route 1 in Generation I.]]
[[Image:R1gsc.png|100px|thumb|Route 1 in Generation II.]]
The route layout in Generations I and III are identical except for the fact that the Generation I version has grassy patches to both the east and the west of the route itself.

In Generation II, the route remains the same but two trainers have been added to the mix. Also, the Viridian Poké Mart employee is no longer present and a Bitter Berry tree has sprouted along the northwest portion of the route. Lastly, the grass patches outside of the route have been removed but the spacing between the route and the surrounding forest still remains.

The grass on the sides was most likely removed since in Generation I, trainers could enter the grass using the [[Cheating|walk anywhere]] glitch; upon doing this, the game would freeze. This was because the grassy area contained no data for cities, routes, or even wild Pokémon, and the game would crash upon trying to retrieve the missing data.

IIMarckus: /* Key Chains */ I still have the Nidorino keychain

{{incomplete}}
The '''1998 Burger King Promotional Pokémon Toys''' were a set of toys distributed with Kids Meals at Burger King in 1998. All toys were paired with a trading card, which were made exclusively for this promotion. The toys were used to promote [[Pokémon: The First Movie]]. There were also a set of 23 karat gold cards which came in Poké Balls that were available to buy at the restaurant chain that year. There were 6 gold cards in total.

==Gold Cards==
The gold cards came in a blue box, with images of the Pokémon, the card, and the whole set of cards. The card is a thick piece of gold in a plastic cover, with a picture on the front and back, and Pokédex data on the back. It also came with a certificate of authenticity signed by the chairman of NOA at the time.
Both the card and the certificate are contained in a plastic Poké Ball with a shiny red top, with a button for opening and closing.

Pokémopolis

2009-01-20T04:40:51Z

IIMarckus: en dash should be em dash

{{search|ancient civilization in the anime|the fan website|Pokemopolis}}

'''Pokémopolis''' is an ancient civilization in close proximity to near [[Pallet Town]]. It made its only anime appearance in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''.

It was discovered by accident when {{Ash}} was battling [[Brock's Vulpix]] with his {{AP|Pikachu}}; {{an|Jigglypuff}} landed between the two Pokémon as they were preparing to attack each other during a training battle and were forced to deflect their attacks. Although the two were the ones who uncovered it, an archaeologist named [[Eve]] took credit for finding it, and was honored for it.

Among the artifacts found in the ruins of Pokémopolis were several odd-shaped objects. As it turns out, those objects were ancient [[Poké Ball]]s, and inside of them were a [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Gengar}}. The two were released, and it appeared they were going to have an epic battle on the spot.

Luckily, a giant {{p|Jigglypuff}}—presumed to be the ancient defender of Pokémopolis—was released as well. Using {{m|Sing}}, it made the other two giants fall into a deep sleep. Soon afterward, all three were put safely back into their ancient Poké Balls. Eve said she would continue efforts to uncover how the ancient structures operated.

'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン時の探検隊''') and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン闇の探検隊''') are a matched pair of Pokémon games for the [[Nintendo DS]].

The games are sequels to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. They include the new [[Generation IV]] Pokémon and have some Wi-Fi features, as well as more dual-screen features than their predecessor for the same system (Mystery Dungeon Blue).

An {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|anime adaptation}} of these games has been produced.

These games feature 491 Pokémon; {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}} were excluded for they had yet to be officially revealed when the games were released. The games were released on April 20th, 2008.

[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 3|A third installment]] is in development by [[Chunsoft]] and is expected for release in 2009.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with the {{player}} having been washed ashore by a storm. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. After a brief exchange, the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild the partner loves legends and lore, and his life dream is to find what his personal treasure, the [[Relic Fragment]], belongs to. Before the partner explains further, the Relic Fragment is stolen by Zubat and Koffing, members of [[Team Skull]], which the player helps recover. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, joins the Guild as a new team with the player.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{p|Wigglytuff}}, the kindhearted Guild Leader, {{p|Chatot}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{p|Bidoof}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, the Guild chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Loudred}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.
The player discovers not too long after that he/she has the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, which is known as the [[Dimensional Scream]].

=== The Legend of the Time Gears ===
One stormy night, The partner finds the player and tells the player of the story of the Time Gears, the artifacts that all Pokémon are to avoid lest time stand still. When a Time Gear is stolen, time in that area is frozen. Despite this, a mysterious thief, {{p|Grovyle}}, is stealing the Time Gears.

One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild and Team Skull (as special guests), make an expedition to a location called Fogbound Lake, a lake seemingly covered in fog. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. At the top, they find the Lake Guardian {{p|Uxie}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{p|Dusknoir}}, who explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the Dimensional Scream. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of Grovyle. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the Northern Desert, which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, which the team defeats. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.

Back at the guild, the failure of the team to stop Grovyle meant that there are no leads to his next location. However, Dusknoir determines that, as Uxie is the being of knowledge, and Mesprit is the being of emotion, thus {{p|Azelf}}, the being of willpower, is likely to be guarding another Time Gear. Dusknoir further explains that as Uxie and Mesprit were encountered in lakes, Azelf is also likely to be found in a lake area. Hoping to find a lead, Dusknoir asks the player to touch a treasure that Bidoof made off with at Crystal Cave, in order to trigger a Dimensional Scream. Indeed, after touching it, the player sees a vision where Azelf is defeated at the hands of Grovyle. However, Chimecho is unsure - because the Dimensional Scream cannot tell the difference between past and future, Grovyle may have already made off with the Time Gear. Dusknoir remains confident that it is of the future, as the partner had never heard Azelf's name before Dusknoir had mentioned it. Because there is a chance that the Dimensional Scream is describing the future, the Guild decides to have all hands search the cave. The team arrives at the lake in the middle of the cave, where they find Azelf about to be defeated by Grovyle. However, just as Grovyle is about to steal the Time Gear, Azelf activates a fail-safe trap. The trap covers the lake in crystals, preventing Grovyle from going underwater and getting the Time Gear. This does not deter Grovyle, and the team is knocked unconscious and the partner is badly wounded. Before Grovyle can finish the partner off, Dusknoir appears. The team discovers that Dusknoir and Grovyle have been long acquainted, but before they can delve any further, Grovyle makes his getaway, and Dusknoir chases after the Pokémon. Just then, the Guild finds the team, and cart them back to headquarters.

Some time later, the team reawaken back at headquarters. The partner recalls the exchange between Dusknoir and Grovyle, and the information is shared with the Guild and Azelf. Just then, the Guild's emergency alarm sounds, requiring everyone to be in attendance at a town meeting. In town, they find Dusknoir, who reminds everyone that Grovyle is still at large. Dusknoir further reveals that Grovyle is a Pokémon from the future - there, Grovyle was a criminal, who fled to the past to avoid being captured. He plots to steal the Time Gears, which in turn would freeze the world in time, thus causing the planet's paralysis. Water would not flow, the sun would not rise, the seasons would not change, and darkness would cover the world. When Corphish is curious as to why Dusknoir knows all of this, Dusknoir reveals that he, too, is from the future, sent back in time to capture Grovyle and bring him to justice. The Guild and townsfolk all agree to help Dusknoir stop Grovyle. Azelf has a plan to trap Grovyle - as the Time Gear in Crystal Lake still remains, they are certain that Grovyle will return for it. In order to lure Grovyle, the townsfolk spread a false rumor that the lake trio will try to seal the Time Gear away permanently, while the trio will be defending the Time Gear, awaiting the moment to make the jump on Grovyle. Although everyone wants to help, Dusknoir insists on doing so alone as to avoid suspicion.

Some days later, a report from Magnezone arrives, indicating that Grovyle has been captured, and that Dusknoir plans to take Grovyle back to the future to face justice. To do so, Dusknoir has opened a Dimensional Hole in the middle of town square. In town, the townsfolk find the Dimensional Hole, but no sign of Dusknoir. As the lake trio explain to the partner that the Time Gears were recovered and were returned, Dusknoir appears with Grovyle and two {{p|Sableye}} guards. As Grovyle is carted off into the Dimensional Hole, Dusknoir gives his farewell. But before he steps through the portal, he asks the player's team to step forward. When they do, he suddenly grabs the team and drags them into the portal. Before the townsfolk can give chase, the Dimensional Hole closes.

=== Escape From the Future ===
The player is woken up by the partner, who reveals that they have been locked in a cell. Just then, they encounter their guards - a group of Sableye. The Sableye blindfold them and take them to another room, where they find themselves bound to a pole, awaiting execution. Along with the two is Grovyle, also tied up. Dusknoir appears, giving the orders to the Sableye to execute the three. Grovyle convinces the team to cooperate - while the Sableye to attack the ropes tying them to the stake, there is a slight chance of breaking the ropes, and it may allow the three to escape. Fortunately, the ropes break free, and the three overwhelm the Sableye. This allows Grovyle to use a Luminous Orb, and take the team to safety. Back outside, Grovyle reveals that they are indeed in the future, but despite the Lake Trio returned the Time Gears back to their original places, the planet has been paralyzed.

Continuing to elude the Sableye, the partner loses confidence on whether they will ever return home. The player than proposes to the partner to catch up to the Grovyle, and see how he had traveled back to the past in the first place. They eventually catch up to Grovyle, and save him from the {{p|Spiritomb}} who had knocked him out earlier. Though Grovyle is reluctant to help them (because the partner still does not trust him), he proceeds to tell his side of the story. The world's paralysis dated back to the present day, with the collapse of the Temporal Tower, governed by {{p|Dialga}}, the legendary Pokémon that controls time. When the tower collapsed, Dialga lost control of time, and it too lost all control. Dialga has turned berserk, becoming Primal Dialga. Seeking only self-preservation, Primal Dialga tries to prevent history from changing, and hence its need to exterminate Grovyle and the team. The partner is visibly shocked by this revelation - and even more so when Grovyle reveals that he collected the Time Gears to prevent the tower from collapsing. Grovyle continues, claiming that the time stop by the removal of the Time Gears is merely temporary - the area affected would restart once the gears were placed in Temporal Tower. Grovyle then further revealed that Dusknoir is an agent of Primal Dialga sent to stop him and the team, and had everyone in the past played for fools.

Though the partner does not believe Grovyle, the player believes that Grovyle's assertions are reasonable, and that the partner cannot seem to accept the truth. The partner even thought of going back to the stockade and ask Dusknoir to reveal the truth. Grovyle leaves to find {{p|Celebi}}, the time-traveling Pokémon, to start his mission anew. Although the player is determined to follow Grovyle, the partner is more reluctant. Nevertheless, the partner agrees to follow, if only to find a way to return to the present. The group eventually manages to find Celebi, who replied that the player is Grovyle's friend. However, Grovyle didn't hear what Celebi said, and before the team can react, Grovyle reminds the team to get a move on. Celebi leads the group to the Passage of Time - a secret corridor spanning multiple dimensions. However, before they can go through the passage, they are stopped by Dusknoir and the Sableye, who had caught up to them. Surrounded, the group has no choice but to overpower Dusknoir and the Sableye. However, when Primal Dialga appears, Grovyle, believing that they are outmatched, has no choice but to surrender. He contends that at least hope will remain, for he had not time travelled alone before. When he first traveled back to the past, he and his partner had been separated. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise, and forces Grovyle to tell the name of his partner - the player. The partner is surprised at this revelation - and Grovyle and Celebi are even more surprised that the player is standing with them. Grovyle refuses to believe that the player has been turned into a Pokémon, but Dusknoir had planned to eliminate the player and Grovyle, and had merely befriended the team and the Guild so as to destroy them all in one shot.

The partner is shocked by the revelation, partly because at one point he had idolized Dusknoir, and partly from sticking with the player. The partner has a plan to elude the Dusknoir and Sableye - all that is needed is to have Celebi teleport them closer to the Passage. Although Celebi recognizes that Dialga could detect them, Celebi agrees to the partner's idea. They fail to escape Dusknoir, but they get to the Passage. Celebi implores the rest of the group to leave though the Passage, leaving Dusknoir to herself. It is believed that Celebi managed to elude capture as the group returns back to the present.

=== Racing the Clock ===
Arriving back to the present, the partner explains that the beach that they are in was where the player was first found. However, before the partner can lead Grovyle back to the Guild to plan their next move, he reminds them that in the present time, Grovyle is a criminal. The partner, seeing the complications this may cause, instead takes the player and Grovyle to a cliff known as Sharpedo Bluff (named as the cliff is in the shape of a {{p|Sharpedo}}), which was the home of the partner prior to joining the Guild. That night, Grovyle explains to the partner the common history between himself and the player. The player and Grovyle had been a formidable team investigating the planet's paralysis. The player had the ability to perform the Dimensional Scream, but only in the presence of a trusted partner. Grovyle further explains that the Dimensional Scream is set off by triggers tied to places where Time Gears were hidden. The partner realizes that the player had a lot of trust in them, largely due to having witnessed the Dimensional Scream. However, the partner also realizes that perhaps Dimensional Screams had worked differently in the past, as the player had experienced them in incidents unrelated to Time Gears. In any event, the three quickly agree to plot a new plan to take the Time Gears.
Later, the partner shares his story of the Relic Fragment with Grovyle. Grovyle and the partner agree that the player has a connection to the both of them - the player had made each of them stronger. The trio redoubles their efforts to retake the Time Gears, starting with the one in Treeshroud Forest, where Grovyle had found the one unguarded. However, after arriving there, they find that, despite the presence of the Time Gear, time has stopped - a sign that Temporal Tower is starting to collapse.

That night, back at Sharpedo Bluff, the partner reveals, after a fact-finding mission, that time in other places is also stopped, despite the return of the Time Gears. It appears that the only way to restore time is to take the Time Gears to Temporal Tower. This is easier said than done, though; the Tower is located in the Hidden Land, and no one knows where the Hidden Land is. Desperate, and running out of options and time, the player convinces the partner to return back to the Guild. The Guild is surprised to find that the team has returned, but is more surprised when the team reveals their story. The Guild, though shocked at the revelations brought forth by the team, agrees to help retrieve the Time Gears, and tells the lake trio to allow Grovyle to reclaim the ones they guard. The team is recommended by Wigglytuff to see {{p|Torkoal}}, the town elder, for advice on finding the Hidden Land. At the hot springs, Torkoal reveals that the Hidden Land is a place beyond the oceans, but also a place which only appears to those with sufficient "proof". However, Torkoal does not recall what is needed for such "proof". The next day, however, Torkoal arrives at the Guild Hall with one new recollection - the "proof" is an inscription of a certain pattern - the same pattern found in the Relic Fragment. What is more surprising is that that Wigglytuff and Chatot has also seen the same pattern - found in a distant place called Brine Cave, where bandits had scared the two in an earlier adventure. Nevertheless, the Guild decides to make an expedition to Brine Cave. Meanwhile, the team hears word that Grovyle has taken all the Time Gears, but warns that Dusknoir may also return from the future to hunt them down.

The next day, The Guild (without Wiggytuff) arrives at Brine Cave, where they split up to reach the innermost part, with Chatot following the team. However, partway into the cave, they are ambushed by Team Skull, who steal the Relic Fragment. Though Chatot gives chase and manages to catch them, by the time the team manages to catch up, they find both Team Skull and Chatot severely wounded, due to themselves having been ambushed by {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After dispatching them, the team tend to Chatot. Just then, Wigglytuff and Grovyle arrive, with the rest of the Guild in tow. Wigglytuff is particularly concerned, as Chatot had been severely injured by the Omastar and Kabutops protecting Wigglytuff in their last trip to Brine Cave. Urging the team and Grovyle to continue, the Guild return home to tend to Chatot's wounds. Further in, the team discovers a rock wall pointing out to sea, on which is a wall pattern similar to the one found on the Relic Fragment. When the Relic Fragment is presented, a light shines out towards the sea. Just then, a {{p|Lapras}} arrives. At the same time, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff explains to the Guild the story of how they had previously encountered the pattern on the Relic Fragment: Chatot had been injured by Omastar and Kabutops in protecting Wigglytuff. Though Wigglytuff had fended off the Omastar and Kabutops, he had felt helpless because he could not help Chatot. Just then, Lapras had appeared to help Chatot, on the condition that they not explore the wall pattern further. Back with the team, Lapras, while ferrying the team and Grovyle, explains that she is the gatekeeper to the Hidden Land, a land that exists in a different dimension - within a moment of time. The Hidden Land is as such because Dialga had feared that interference by exploration teams or bad Pokémon could affect the flow of time. Dialga had, however, left one key to entering the Hidden Land, within the Relic Fragment. Wigglytuff had known this, and had realized that the promise to Lapras could not be kept in the interests of saving the world, and thus had set off towards Brine Cave ahead of the Guild to find Lapras. Lapras explained to Wigglytuff then that the Relic Fragment chooses who may visit the Hidden Land, and it had chosen the partner due to the partner's purity of heart. Now, it lies upon the team to explore the land and save the world.

=== Saving the World ===
Arriving at the Hidden Land, Lapras tells them that in order to reach the Temporal Tower, they must take the Rainbow Stoneship, located inside an old ruin. Finding the ruin, the partner is astounded at what they can find - pictures of legendary Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, Dialga, and {{p|Palkia}} engraved on the wall. Proceeding further, they find a temple where, at the top, they find the Ruin Fragment pattern. The team discovers that the temple itself is the Rainbow Stoneship, and in order for the ship to operate, the Relic Fragment must be slotted in one of the indentations. But before the partner can do so, they are captured by Dusknoir and the Sableye entourage. Dusknoir takes their captives to a nearby Dimensional Hole, but before the team can be put through it, they overwhelm the Sableye, prompting Dusknoir to fight back. The team is able to defeat Dusknoir in battle, but while the partner goes to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, Dusknoir warns that should they succeed in their quest, the Pokémon of the future, including the player and Grovyle, will be erased from existence, from being from a future that will no longer exist. Grovyle admits that this is the case, but that their sacrifice is worth the trouble if it means that the future can be saved. The player accepts this fate, even though the player knows that the partner will not take it as easily as the player or Grovyle.

Meanwhile, the partner succeeds in activating the Rainbow Stoneship, but Dusknoir manages to recover and attack the player before either the player or Grovyle is on board. Just as Dusknoir tries to finish off the player, Grovyle intervenes. In a move of desperation, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir towards the Dimensional Hole, hoping that in his own sacrifice, Grovyle will erase Dusknoir from existence. Dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir and himself through the Dimensional Hole, but not without giving his last goodbye. The partner recovers the Time Gears, and the team proceed on the Rainbow Stoneship, with the player keeping silent to the partner about his/her fate. With a heavy heart, the team head towards Temporal Tower to take on their final mission.

Arriving at the top of Temporal Tower as the tower itself is collapsing, they find a mystical relic with five indentations. Before the partner slots in the Time Gears into the indentations, the team is attacked by none other than Primal Dialga, having just gone berserk. Realizing that there is no reasoning with Primal Dialga, the team prepare to battle it out to the end. After a long battle, Primal Dialga is defeated, and the partner takes the opportunity to install the Time Gears. The earthquakes destroying the tower eventually stop, and Dialga is restored back to normal. Dialga quickly uses its powers to restore the world back to normal, though Temporal Tower remains heavily damaged. Dialga explains that the world's paralysis has been prevented with the installation of the Time Gears, and that peace has been restored. Dialga says its thanks to the team, but also warns that the world can only be back to normal in time. Dialga shows the team out of the Temporal Tower, where the Stoneship and Lapras are awaiting them for their ride home.

On the way back, the player feels the effects of being slowly erased from existence. The partner notices this, and wonders what is wrong. The player says his/her goodbyes, regretting that the partner was kept in the dark on the player's situation. The player slowly fades out of existence as the partner makes their tearful goodbye. The partner returns home, crying, but knowing that the player has made the partner stronger. Back home, the partner tells the townsfolk and the guild everything - how they had traveled across the Hidden Land, how Grovyle and the player had sacrificed themselves, and how they had saved the world.

Months have passed since the incident. The damages from time have slowly been healed, and life has returned to normal for most... but not for the partner, still mourning over the player's death. At the beach, the partner is taking a walk, when the partner is reminded of the player and their adventures together, and how now the player is gone - erased from existence. The end credits roll at this point.

After the credits, Dialga feels the partner's sorrow in the distance. Using its powers, Dialga brings the player back to life, as thanks for bringing it back in control. The player reappears at the beach, where the partner and Bidoof are crying, overjoyed to find the player alive.

=== Post-game story ===
As with ''Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'', there is a post-credits story. Several months after the player was brought back, {{p|Wigglytuff}} decides that the team is ready for an exam to qualify for graduation from the guild (apparently only accepting one team a year). They are told to go find the treasure found in Luminous Spring, a place where Pokémon used to go to to evolve, but are also warned to avoid the "grand master of all things bad" who lives there with his minions. Although {{p|Loudred}} is not allowed to speak of the test, having taken it the year before, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Teddiursa}}, two Treasure Town locals, claim of going to the springs before and meeting no such "Grand Master". Upon reaching the springs they run into Ursaring and Teddiursa and conclude that the "Grand Master" does not exist before falling into the lair of the "Grand Master", who turns out to be nothing more than Wigglytuff and the guild members (revealed by a slip up by Bidoof, who continues to deny it till the end). After finding the treasure they return and graduate, finding that the only benefit to be that they can explore on their own and change the group leader, but they still have to give most of their prize money to the guild. Having graduated, the team move their headquarters to Sharpedo Bluff.

Then, {{p|Mr. Mime}} appears in Treasure Town stating the famous explorer {{p|Scizor}} has been missing in a place called the Blizzard Island. The team pays a visit and finds Scizor frozen solid by {{p|Froslass}}. After they rescue Scizor, Scizor gives the team the 'Secret Rank' which the team and everyone else knows nothing about. This rank is used for the 7 dungeons home to the great [[Seven Treasures]].

One day, the player finds Corphish at the guild's intersection, saying to go talk to Sunflora about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a land that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the Surrounded Sea, supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a Wonder Egg, along with a warp tile that will get the player out of the dungeon. The next morning, the egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chatot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in Miracle Sea. At the end of the dungeon, there are six Phione, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking Gyarados. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured after a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.

After the player saves Manaphy and after a couple of days of plain jobs, Team Charm pays a visit to the guild. Team Charm consists of {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Gardevoir}}. This trio is legendary for their rank, which is the Master Rank, and for their style of treasure hunting. A former member, surprisingly, is Wigglytuff. They came because they're stuck on a hunt for treasure because they don't have a key. They ask Wigglytuff and Wigglytuff "claims" that he doesn't have it. But just before everyone thinks Team Charm will leave, Lopunny gives Wigglytuff a Perfect Apple and Wigglytuff finds the key with a big bang from his room. When Team Charm is leaving, everyone asks if they can go to the [[Aegis Cave]], including the team. Lopunny, the leader of Team Charm, agrees and says everyone can go after they open it with the key. The treasure of Aegis Cave is guarded by 3 legendary beings, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. After defeating them, Team Charm assists the player in fighting {{p|Regigigas}}.

Later, {{p|Darkrai}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their continued existence is causing a distortion in space. On the night before going to Palkia for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to it's domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. Darkrai (still disguised as Cresseila) tries to finish off the team using Palkia, but it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of Darkrai, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia thinks it is a trap, because normally Darkrai run away when found, doing its work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans, by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible from everything right from the beginning, from the collapse of the Temporal Tower to the player's very own transformation and memory loss. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. The player's partner decides that it's useless to resist, so he/she decides to join Darkrai, but it's not real. The player realizes this is just another illusion, and breaks free of it. With the partner back on the player's side, the team battles Darkrai and wins. Darkrai attempts to flee through a portal, but Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on him. But instead of destroying him, he attacks the Dimensional Hole, thus erasing Darkrai's memories, much like what happened to the player. Darkrai has no more memory of his evil ambitions, and wanders the Pokémon world; his location is at that point unknown.

After Darkrai is gone, Team Raider, legendary Master Rank team, shows up on the beach after rescuing Dugtrio. It is unknown if they do anything.

Manaphy returns and joins the player's team. three days later, he tells the team about the Marine Resort and then after the team unlocks it, the player and partner can finally evolve; after recruiting Palkia in the Spacial Rift.

*If the player remains on one floor of a dungeon for too long, this will happen:
**It will say "Something is stirring".
**It will say "Something is approaching".
**It will say "It's coming closer."
**It will say "It's right near! It's gusting hard!" Then the player's character will faint.
*Pokémon with the Float terrain ability who try to cross magma will get burned (unless they have the "All-Terrain Hiker" IQ skill or are also {{type2|Fire}}), but for {{type2|Water}} and the lake parts, it will be able to cross.

==Trivia==
*This is the third game to feature the player having to delete the saved data before starting a new game, with the first two being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]].
*This is the second game to feature a {{shiny2}} Pokémon as part of the main storyline, with the first being the [[Generation II]] main series.
*This game is more focused on every Pokémon's gender (even the legendaries, who are believed not to have a gender). In the previous Mystery Dungeon games, the main character had a confirmed gender, but only because it was asked at the start, and very few other characters had confirmed genders.

List of Pokémon with form differences

2009-01-20T04:39:18Z

IIMarckus: en dash should be em dash

'''Form differences''' are when, within one [[Pokémon#species|species of Pokémon]], there are major, visible differences between individuals. Sometimes, this will as well extend to the Pokémon's types and stats, though this is not always the case.

Certain forms have specific names, and are usually specific to one or two Pokémon. When form differences concern [[legendary Pokémon]], the forms are named as "Formes".

==In the games==
===Unown===
{{p|Unown}} was the first Pokémon that was revealed to have visual differences between individuals of the species. Each and every Unown, from the species' debut in [[Generation II]], would have a form whose appearance corresponds to one of the twenty-six letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. In [[Generation III]], two more forms were added, which correspond to the question mark and exclamation point.

The [[Unown Dex]] of Generation II listed various words that corresponded to the different forms, though the stats of the Unown are not dependent on which form it takes. In Generation III, Unown's form is determined by its [[personality value]].

|}

===Spinda===
Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's [[personality value]], and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats. Unlike Unown, however, these differences are rarely repeated, as the calculation uses the entirety of the personality value—a number that can range from zero to more than four billion.

|- align=center
| [[Image:Spr 3e 327.gif]] Spinda from Emerald
| [[Image:Spr 4d 327.png]] Spinda from Diamond and Pearl
|}

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}} brought the concept of type change to form differences, as well as the ability for on-the-fly variation in form. Unlike other Pokémon with alternate forms, Castform changes its form, as well as its type, with the [[weather]]. If the battle is being conducted in clear conditions, a sandstorm, or fog it appears in its Normal Form and is a {{type2|Normal}}. If the sun is shining brightly, though, Castform will assume its Sunny Form and the {{type2|Fire}}. During rain, it will transform into its Rain Form and assume the {{type2|Water}}. Finally, while it is hailing, Castform will change into its Snow-Cloud Form and become an {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon. The type and form will change at any time the weather does.

{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=500px cellspacing="0"
|- align=center

| [[Image:351r.png]] Rain Form {{ic|Water}}
| [[Image:351h.png]] Snow-Cloud Form {{ic|Ice}}
|}

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}}, the final Pokémon of [[Generation III]], is the first known Pokémon to change its [[base stats]] and [[move]] compatibility in addition to its appearance depending on the Forme it takes, with its {{stat|Defense}}, Normal, {{stat|Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}} Formes.

In Generation III, each of Deoxys's Formes is game-specific, with Normal Forme only being accessible in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, Attack Forme appearing only in {{v2|FireRed}}, Defense Forme only appearing in {{v2|LeafGreen}}, and Speed Forme appearing only in {{v2|Emerald}}. When the five games are linked, the different Formes can battle each other using their specific stats, however, if traded among games, Deoxys will become the Forme it appears in in that game.

All four of Deoxys's Formes appear in [[Generation IV]], and can be freely changed by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].

{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=550px cellspacing="0"

| [[Image:386E.png]] Speed Forme ([[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]])
|}

===Burmy and Wormadam===
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its [[female]] evolution, {{p|Wormadam}} have three separate forms, being the first Pokémon whose evolution depends on a specific form. Like others, Burmy can change form freely, depending on where it last participated in a battle actively ([[Exp. Share]] maintains a Burmy's form if it does not leave the [[Poké Ball]]), however, Wormadam's form is permanent.

If a Burmy last battled or was hatched in a grassy outside area, it will be in its basic state, the Plant Cloak. This form of Burmy is covered in leaves and twigs, and if female, will eventually evolve into Wormadam in its Plant Cloak, a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon.

After battle on a beach or in a cave, or if it is hatched there, Burmy will be in a sand-and-rock-covered form, its Sandy Cloak. If a female, it will eventually become Wormadam in its Sandy Cloak, which is, rather than Bug and Grass, a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

Finally, if a battle has been conducted inside of a building, or if this is where Burmy hatches from its egg, it will be in a pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}-covered form, the Trash Cloak. Like the other forms, if it becomes Wormadam while in this form, it will be the {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Wormadam Trash Cloak.

A Wormadam's stats and move compatibility vary with her form, in addition to type and appearance. The cloak a male Burmy takes on before evolution makes no difference in the long run, as it sheds it upon evolution into {{p|Mothim}}.

| [[Image:Spr 4p 413S.png]] Trash Cloak {{ic|Bug}} {{ic|Steel}}
|}

===Cherrim===
Like Castform, {{p|Cherrim}} changes its appearance depending on the weather, though not with all kinds. It will be in its normal Overcast Form if the weather is anything but sunny, and its Sunshine Form when the sun shines brightly. Due to its ability, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} will also increase in its Sunshine Form. Unlike Castform, however, its type does not change.

{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=200px cellspacing="0"
|- align=center
| [[Image:Spr 4d 421b.png]] Overcast form
| [[Image:Spr 4d 421.png]] Sunshine form
|}

===Shellos and Gastrodon===
Another [[Sinnoh]]-native [[evolution]] family, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} also have a difference, depending on, this time, whether the Pokémon in question was caught east or west of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Like others before, neither form can change to the other, but unlike other multiple-form Pokémon, the appearance of the mother is the determinant to the appearance of the mother.

Both West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon take on a pink appearance, while their East Sea cousins take on a blue hue. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.

|- align=center
| [[Image:Spr 4p 423.png]] West Sea
| [[Image:Spr 4p 423E.png]] East Sea
|}

===Rotom===
In August of 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, five silhouetted Pokémon were shown, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were alternate forms of {{p|Rotom}}.

In each of these forms, Rotom has possessed a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. Heat Rotom, which is based on an {{wp|oven}}, can have {{m|Overheat}}, Wash Rotom, based on a {{wp|washing machine}}, learns {{m|Hydro Pump}} on assuming that form, Frost Rotom, a {{wp|refrigerator}}, learns {{m|Blizzard}}, Spin Rotom, based on a {{wp|fan (mechanical|fan}}, learns {{m|Air Slash}}, and Cut Rotom, based on a {{wp|lawnmower}}, learns {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

Despite this new variance in move types, all forms of Rotom retain their {{2t|Ghost|Electric}} typing, though all alternate forms have a slightly higher base stat total than Normal Rotom.

{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=200px cellspacing="0"
|- align=center

| [[Image:Spr 4p 479F.png]] Spin Rotom
| [[Image:Spr 4p 479L.png]] Cut Rotom
|}

===Giratina===
{{p|Giratina}}, much like Deoxys had been earlier, was announced to have an alternate form in the then-upcoming ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' in February, 2008. One of the two forms is the familiar form to players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, designated as Altered Forme Giratina, while the other is a more serpentine Forme that was not previously known, the Origin Forme.

The Origin Forme is known as Giratina's natural Forme, which it appears in in its home of the [[Reverse World]]. If it travels to the [[Pokémon world]], it assumes its Altered Forme. Both Formes appear in {{game|Platinum}}, where Giratina is captured in the [[Distorted World]], its home, in its more offense-oriented Origin Forme, and will revert to the defensive Altered Forme outside of this area unless it holds the [[Platinum Orb]].

{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=300px cellspacing="0"
|- align=center
| [[Image:487.png]] Altered Forme ([[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|D/P]])
| [[Image:487O.png]] Origin Forme ([[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]])
|}

===Shaymin===
As with Giratina, an alternate Forme of the event Pokémon {{p|Shaymin}} was announced to appear in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and is, in fact, the sky warrior as described in the title. This new Sky Forme of Shaymin, with the previously-known form now called the Land Forme, has a completely altered appearance and, rather than being a pure-{{type2|Grass}}, is now {{2t|Grass|Flying}}.

Like Giratina and Deoxys's transformations are activated by an external source, Shaymin's is activated by contact with a [[Gracidia Flower]], whose bouquets look almost like a sleeping Shaymin.

{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=300px cellspacing="0"
|- align=center

|}

===Arceus===
The seeming god of all Pokémon, the currently-unrevealed {{p|Arceus}} has eighteen different Formes, each with a slightly different coloration, which correspond to the different [[elemental types]].

Arceus's transformation between these Formes is brought about by its held item: if it is holding a [[plate]], it draws its type from that plate as stated in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]], while remaining {{type2|Normal}} when not holding a plate. The {{type2|???}} Forme of Arceus is currently unavailable in any manner, as there is no plate to turn it to this type.

|}

===Other Pokémon===
*The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that the markings on its belly differ between [[region]]s.
*{{p|Shellder}} also changes between bivalve and spiral-shaped variations depending on whether or not it is attached to a {{p|Slowpoke}}'s {{p|Slowking|head}} or {{p|Slowbro|tail}}.
*In [[Generation IV]], there are many Pokémon with slight sprite differences based on their [[gender]].
*[[XD001]] was a {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Lugia}} so thoroughly corrupted that its appearance changed.
*[[Primal Dialga|A Dialga]] also changed its appearance when it lost control of time in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
*{{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in Pearl says that the special patterns on its back vary from region to region. However, this has yet to be proven, since this Pokémon only has been obtainable in [[Sinnoh|one region]] during [[Generation IV|the latest generation]].

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Yellow}}

'''Pokémon: Special Pikachu Edition''', oftentimes known simply as '''Pokémon Yellow Version''', is the third Pokémon game released worldwide, as a [[third version|follow up]] to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. In Japan, it was the fourth Pokémon game, released as '''ポケットモンスターピカチュウ''' (Japanese: ''Pocket Monsters Pikachu''), after [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Red, Green]], and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]].

==Plot==
Unlike other games, Yellow was inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, and thus, instead of having a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, players are forced to start off with a {{p|Pikachu}} that [[Professor Oak]] caught on {{rt|1}}. With the {{ga|Blue|rival}} beginning with an {{p|Eevee}}, the player now journeys from Pallet to go through an all-new experience—with no {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type2|Water}}s to fall back on until each member of the Kanto starter trio is obtained later on, about a quarter of the way through the game.

Much like before, players journey across [[Kanto]] from their hometown of [[Pallet Town|Pallet]], defeating the eight [[Gym Leaders]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]] do not join the player, unlike in the anime) and eventually the [[Elite Four]].

[[Team Rocket]] battles feature yet another special, anime-based surprise, as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] show up, along with their Pokémon, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, {{TP|James|Koffing}}, and {{MTR}}. Aside from their battles, the plot of Yellow is very similar to that of Red, Blue, and Green.

==Blurb==
"You've finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s license, and now you're on your way to becoming the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer! The shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}} tags along behind [[Player character|you]] as you search the enormous world for monsters to train and evolve. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}'s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}'s stormy {{m|Gust}}. Develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time!"

==Connectivity==
As well as reprising the ability to allow players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Boy]] [[link cable]], Yellow also debuted a new link battle mode, Colosseum 2. While battling another player's Pokémon team had been possible since the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} two years before Yellow's release, Yellow introduced several regulations in Colosseum 2 mode. Battle modes introduced include the [[Pika Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 15 to 20 only; their combined level limit is 50), [[Petit Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 15 to 20, heights under 6'8", and weights less than 44 pounds only) and [[Poké Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 50 to 55 only, and the sum of all entered Pokémon's levels cannot exceed 155. {{p|Mew}} is not allowed). These three cups would later become standard cups in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]].

==Changes from Red, Green, and Blue==
*{{p|Pikachu}} is the only [[starter Pokémon]] the player can have, and travels with the player on-screen, outside of a [[Poké Ball]] like {{OP|Ash|Pikachu}}. The {{ga|Blue|rival}} starts with {{p|Eevee}}, and the three normal [[Kanto]] starters can be obtained later in the game.
*Pokémon sprites have been completely redone to more closely resemble [[Ken Sugimori]]'s art and their depiction in the anime.
*[[List of in-game trades|In-game trades]] are changed to different Pokémon.
*[[Level]]-up and [[TM]] compatibility altered slightly.
*A minimal [[happiness]] system is implemented to track how Pikachu feels about the player, and Pikachu will refuse to evolve.
*[[Gym Leader]]s have different teams, some based on those that appear in the anime.
*Enhanced compatibility with the [[Game Boy Color]] (outside of Japan) and the ability to print out Pokédex entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]].
*A majority of [[glitch]]es were disabled, and many [[glitch Pokémon]] were altered into different, stranger forms.
*[[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear and are involved in [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme.
*[[Cerulean Cave]], the game's final dungeon, is redesigned a second time.
*A {{m|Surf}}ing Pikachu minigame is included.

==Features==
===Gyms===
As in the other games of [[Generation I]], there are eight Pokémon Gyms in Kanto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Giovanni]] ({{t|Ground}}). The levels of certain Gym Leaders' Pokémon were adjusted for Yellow; some of their Pokémon [[Party|teams]] were revised as well.

===Elite Four===
The Elite Four is located at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite trainers are [[Lorelei]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Agatha]] ({{t|Ghost}}) and [[Lance]] ({{t|Dragon}}); the [[Champion]] is {{ga|Blue|the player's rival}}, who has Pokémon of mixed types. The levels of certain Elite trainer's Pokémon were adjusted for Yellow; some of their Pokémon teams were revised as well.

===Pokémon===
Yellow did not introduce any new Pokémon, and so the 151 present in Red, Green, and Blue are the only ones obtainable. Like the prior games, some Pokémon are missing from Yellow and must be traded from another game to complete the Pokédex or evolved from less powerful forms.

==[[Version-exclusive Pokémon]]==

==Reception==
Like {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Pokémon Yellow was also well received by the press. Like it's predecessors, it received a perfect 10/10 from IGN [http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=36696 1]. However, it was criticized as being "just a stopgap to help us wait for the [[Generation II|real sequels]]" [http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=251543 2]. Yellow received a slightly lower average score than {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, 85% on [http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/198314.asp?q=pokemon Game Rankings]. Despite this, it was the site's top rated [[Game Boy]] game in the year of its release, 1999.

===Title===
While this game's title has become widely accepted as simply Pokémon Yellow, its officially-recognized name is not entirely certain. On the boxart for most English versions, "Special Pikachu Edition" replaces the series' then-current slogan "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]," below the Pokémon logo, while "Yellow Version" is at the bottom, near where Red and Blue had theirs. However, "Special Pikachu Edition" is repeated on the box's opening and spine, while the Japanese title is simply Pocket Monsters Pikachu, with no color specified.

Despite this, the instruction manual refers to the game as "the Yellow version of Pokémon", and "Yellow Version" can be seen at the game's title screen.

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mew is notable for its ability to learn every machine move, unique amongst all known Pokémon.

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature. Mew's hair is so fine, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail. Mew has big hind legs, like a {{wp|rabbit}}, and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew has triangle-shaped ears and baby-blue eyes. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon. It also vaguely resembles a fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb similar to a womb.

====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless Pokémon.

====Special abilities====
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will, creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to {{m|transform}} into any one of the other 492 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, in much the same fashion as {{p|Celebi}}.

===Behavior===
Mew is an intelligent Pokémon and will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It also acts very childish, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it. It laughs most of the time. It is attracted to {{wp|lullabies}} and will try to stay as close to the music as possible.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Reports found on Burned Mansion found in [[Cinnabar Island]] in the Kanto region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or Team Rocket-run which had sighted Mew in {{wp|Guyana}}, South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is considered a "mirage" by most.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Considering Mew's unique lifestyle as a floating Psychic Pokémon, and that no terrestrial animal resembles it, there is no known diet for Mew. However, it can be found with the [[Lum Berry]], which might offer a clue as to what it eats.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mew1.PNG|right|thumb|Mew from [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]].]]
[[Image:Mew Harp.JPG|left|thumb|[[Nando]]'s Mew Harp]]
Two different Mew appeared in Pokémon movies. In the first, ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mew|Mewtwo Strikes Back}} engaged in a battle with its clone, {{an|Mewtwo}}. Additionally, this Mew was seen in the TV Special Movie ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', though since Mewtwo is contemplating life via flashback at the time (he is in Purity Lake being restored), it is unclear whether this is the real Mew in Purity Lake, or if it is a flashback Mew. In the eighth movie, ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', [[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)|another Mew]] kidnapped [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}}.

[[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[The Power of One]]'' were apparently set in motion due to an Ancient Mew card; the card itself was actually shown in the movie.

A [[Mirage Pokémon|Mirage]] Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to frustrate the plans of [[Mirage Master]].

[[Nando]] has a harp that is designed based on a Mew.

A Mew appears in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]''. As of this episode, every {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Mew debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{Special|Red}} and {{Special|Green}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but they fail. The ''phantom Pokémon'' was chased by [[Team Rocket]].

It later appeared in the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Mew Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In Super Smash Bros. Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. The summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Melee, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in Brawl, the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty in photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when photographed, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at Mew to get it to come out for a proper shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

===Game locations===
[[image:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
Mew can be obtained in the Pokémon Red and Blue versions by using the [[Mew glitch]]. The Mew glitch also enable countless other normal and rarely-seen [[Glitch|glitched Pokémon]] to be seen and captured, although some of them have been known to cause trouble to people's games.

Mew is otherwise obtainable only in [[Nintendo promotional event]]s, historically through a direct trade. In [[Pokémon Emerald]], it may be found in [[Faraway Island]], a location that may be reached only with the promotion-only item [[Old Sea Map]]. After certain conditions are met, a Mew can be transferred to a Generation IV game from [[My Pokémon Ranch]].

==Trivia==
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* Mew was a little known secret when [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]] were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that Satoshi Tajiri had programmed it into the game.
* Lost scientific reports found in the burned mansion of Cinnabar Island state that Mew "gave birth.'''. The scientists named the newborn "Mewtwo."''' This is in defiance of the basic reproduction method of Pokémon, eggs. However, Mew, like most other legendary Pokémon, cannot produce eggs in the games.
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed or LeafGreen]], as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in {{v2|Emerald}}. It received an in-game location while {{p|Jirachi}} did not.
* Starting with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a special flag must be set on Mew, otherwise it will not obey its Trainer. This also goes for {{p|Deoxys}}. This is to make sure that the Mew has been obtained from an event, and so hackers do not overuse it in battles.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Attract}} and {{m|Captivate}}; however, when used by Mew, they will always fail.
* Mew's English name, only three letters long, is the shortest of all Pokémon. It shares this distinction with {{p|Muk}}.
* Even though Mew has been shown able multiple times to turn invisible, it is unable to learn {{m|Camouflage}}. It is also commonly seen Teleporting in the anime, while in the games, the only way to get a Mew with {{m|Teleport}} is from [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], or by teaching it [[TM30]] in [[Generation I]]. However it may still utilize both of these moves (along with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and {{m|Draco Meteor}}) through the use of {{m|Metronome}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to Level 100, whereas most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
* Mew's sprite in the original Japanese [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]] as well as all of its [[Generation I]] backsprites feature notably different physical features for Mew than later appearances, especially its head, neck, and back.
* Mew's [[Generation II]] sprites feature it with a noticeably shortened tail which was carried on to {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The tail was changed back to its extra long skinny appearance in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though.
* Despite being shown floating in both the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|games}}, it does not have the ability {{a|Levitate}}.
===Origin===
Mew shares some traits with felines. It is also similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}.

====Name origin====
Mew's name may refer to its {{wp|cat}}-like appearance, with ''mew'' being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word ''unique'' (myō), or the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mew is notable for its ability to learn every machine move, unique amongst all known Pokémon.

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature. Mew's hair is so fine, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail. Mew has big hind legs, like a {{wp|rabbit}}, and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew has triangle-shaped ears and baby-blue eyes. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon. It also vaguely resembles a fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb similar to a womb.

====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless Pokémon.

====Special abilities====
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will, creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to {{m|transform}} into any one of the other 492 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, in much the same fashion as {{p|Celebi}}.

===Behavior===
Mew is an intelligent Pokémon and will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It also acts very childish, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it. It laughs most of the time. It is attracted to {{wp|lullabies}} and will try to stay as close to the music as possible.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Reports found on Burned Mansion found in [[Cinnabar Island]] in the Kanto region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or Team Rocket-run which had sighted Mew in {{wp|Guyana}}, South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is considered a "mirage" by most.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Considering Mew's unique lifestyle as a floating Psychic Pokémon, and that no terrestrial animal resembles it, there is no known diet for Mew. However, it can be found with the [[Lum Berry]], which might offer a clue as to what it eats.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mew1.PNG|right|thumb|Mew from [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]].]]
[[Image:Mew Harp.JPG|left|thumb|[[Nando]]'s Mew Harp]]
Two different Mew appeared in Pokémon movies. In the first, ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mew|Mewtwo Strikes Back}} engaged in a battle with its clone, {{an|Mewtwo}}. Additionally, this Mew was seen in the TV Special Movie ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', though since Mewtwo is contemplating life via flashback at the time (he is in Purity Lake being restored), it is unclear whether this is the real Mew in Purity Lake, or if it is a flashback Mew. In the eighth movie, ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', [[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)|another Mew]] kidnapped [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}}.

[[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[The Power of One]]'' were apparently set in motion due to an Ancient Mew card; the card itself was actually shown in the movie.

A [[Mirage Pokémon|Mirage]] Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to frustrate the plans of [[Mirage Master]].

[[Nando]] has a harp that is designed based on a Mew.

A Mew appears in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]''. As of this episode, every {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Mew debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{Special|Red}} and {{Special|Green}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but they fail. The ''phantom Pokémon'' was chased by [[Team Rocket]].

It later appeared in the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Mew Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In Super Smash Bros. Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. The summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Melee, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in Brawl, the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty in photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when photographed, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at Mew to get it to come out for a proper shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

===Game locations===
[[image:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
Mew can be obtained in the Pokémon Red and Blue versions by using the [[Mew glitch]]. The Mew glitch also enable countless other normal and rarely-seen [[Glitch|glitched Pokémon]] to be seen and captured, although some of them have been known to cause trouble to people's games.

Mew is otherwise obtainable only in [[Nintendo promotional event]]s, historically through a direct trade. In [[Pokémon Emerald]], it may be found in [[Faraway Island]], a location that may be reached only with the promotion-only item [[Old Sea Map]]. After certain conditions are met, a Mew can be transferred to a Generation IV game from [[My Pokémon Ranch]].

==Trivia==
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* Mew was a little known secret when [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]] were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that Satoshi Tajiri had programmed it into the game.
* Lost scientific reports found in the burned mansion of Cinnabar Island state that Mew "gave birth'''. The scientists named the newborn "Mewtwo". This breaks up the basic reproduction method of Pokémon - eggs. However, Mew, as with most legendary Pokémon, cannot produce eggs in the games.
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed or LeafGreen]], as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in {{v2|Emerald}}. It received an in-game location while {{p|Jirachi}} did not.
* Starting with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a special flag must be set on Mew, otherwise it will not obey its Trainer. This also goes for {{p|Deoxys}}. This is to make sure that the Mew has been obtained from an event, and so hackers do not overuse it in battles.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Attract}} and {{m|Captivate}}; however, when used by Mew, they will always fail.
* Mew's English name, only three letters long, is the shortest of all Pokémon. It shares this distinction with {{p|Muk}}.
* Even though Mew has been shown able multiple times to turn invisible, it is unable to learn {{m|Camouflage}}. It is also commonly seen Teleporting in the anime, while in the games, the only way to get a Mew with {{m|Teleport}} is from [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], or by teaching it [[TM30]] in [[Generation I]]. However it may still utilize both of these moves (along with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and {{m|Draco Meteor}}) through the use of {{m|Metronome}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to Level 100, whereas most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
* Mew's sprite in the original Japanese [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]] as well as all of its [[Generation I]] backsprites feature notably different physical features for Mew than later appearances, especially its head, neck, and back.
* Mew's [[Generation II]] sprites feature it with a noticeably shortened tail which was carried on to {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The tail was changed back to its extra long skinny appearance in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though.
* Despite being shown floating in both the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|games}}, it does not have the ability {{a|Levitate}}.
===Origin===
Mew shares some traits with felines. It is also similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}.

====Name origin====
Mew's name may refer to its {{wp|cat}}-like appearance, with ''mew'' being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word ''unique'' (myō), or the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

'''Totodile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワニノコ''' ''Waninoko'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[evolve]]s into {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 18, who evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}} starting at level 30.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] available at the beginning of the [[Generation II]] games.

==Biology==
Totodile is the first form of the Feraligatr evolutionary line. Despite their small size, Totodile are very powerful, especially underwater. Immediately upon hatching, the mother will take her newborn brood down to the water to swim and hunt. Despite their strength, young Totodile stay close to their mother for quite some time.
===Physiology===
Totodile look like small blue alligators with red spines. They are bipedal and have sharp claws. Their large jaws are very strong and filled with sharp teeth.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Totodile have a powerful set of jaws for a Pokémon its size. Just a playful nip can be painful. Like the other Water-typed Starter Pokémon, the power of Totodile's Water-type attacks get stronger when it is in a pinch.

===Behavior===
Totodile have a habit of {{m2|Bite|biting}} anything it sees. Because of this, you should never turn your back on it.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Totodile live close to the water. Being reptilian, they prefer tropical climates and are typically found around large rivers and ocean shores.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Totodile anime.jpg|right|thumb|210px|Totodile in the anime]]
A Totodile that belonged to [[Prof. Elm]] went missing in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. That Totodile found [[Team Rocket]] and chomped down on [[Jessie]]'s hair. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|co.}} managed to get the Totodile back to Prof. Elm.

Ash later captured a Totodile in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', after battling for it with [[Misty]]. [[Ash's Totodile]], who had a very playful personality, remained with him throughout Ash's [[Johto]] adventures, before being left in [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's laboratory|lab]].

{{jo|Marina}} has a {{p|Feraligatr}} nicknamed [[Wani-Wani]] that evolved from a Totodile that she received from Prof. Elm in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

A Totodile appeared in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Silver}} stole a Totodile from [[Professor Elm]]'s lab.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Totodile was the only Gold/Silver/Crystal Starter to appear only as a random trophy, not in a Poké Ball.
====Trophy information====
Little but feisty is the best description for these Water-type Pokémon. The first thing they do when they see something move is latch onto it with their powerful jaws. Totodile was one of the three Pokémon that Professor Elm offered to trainers in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. They evolve into Croconaw.
