'''PokéBeach''' is a Pokémon fan site run by Water Pokémon Master.

==History==

The site opened to the public on July 15, 2003, although Water Pokémon Master had been working on it privately since 1999. Since then, it has become one of the most popular Pokémon fan sites on the internet.

Although the site focuses on several aspects of the fandom, its primary focus is the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The site features scans of Pokémon cards, as well as guides on how to play the game.

In 2008, the web site was able to have an interview with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], a director and storyboard artist for the {{pkmn|anime}}. In it, he revealed much previously unknown information about the series.

In 2009, the site was able to go to the early screening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' in Japan, even though Water Pokémon Master was not picked for the special rally from [[CoroCoro]].

In September 2010, the site's forums inducted a new rule stating that users must use proper grammar and spelling because the site is not a chat room.

On May 25, 2011, a new rule was made banning advertising other websites. There were already advertising rules, but all advertising has been banned, on posts and in signatures. Another rule was also made in the same announcement, banning plagiarism.

Upon the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}, PokéBeach was the first of two sites to receive a cease and desist order from Nintendo for posting images of Pokémon Black and White. The site then temporarily changed all pictures from the games to pictures of {{p|Ditto}} and changed their name to PokerBeach as a joke to protest Nintendo's actions. It has since gone back to using the images and using the name PokéBeach.

===Quotes===
====Single line====
*Before battle
:''"Thank you for riding the Battle Subway today. I am the Subway Boss Ingo. I will choose the next destination based on your talent. Do you understand Pokémon well? Can you hold on to your principle? Will you go on to victory or defeat? All aboard!"''

*When victorious
:''"Ah. Your battle was not bad at all. However, we seem to have done slightly better than you. We would really like to battle with you again! Please ride the Battle Subway again!"''

*When defeated
:''"Bravo!! Your talent has brought you to the destination called Victory! However, your journey has just started. When you choose your next destination, go full speed ahead!"''

====Super Single line====
*Before battle
:''"Welcome! I've been waiting for you! Let me introduce myself... I am the Subway Boss Ingo. What can I see after winning, winning, and winning? Where is my destination? I've kept thinking, and I've learned one thing. That is, you cannot know what happens after winning without winning. Therefore, I will exert every possible effort to battle with you. All aboard!"''

*When victorious
:''"I have won this time, but your talent is very strong! Your tactics...reading... You have great skills. That's right! I would like to battle you again and again! Please ride the Battle Subway again soon!"''

*When defeated
:''"Bravo! Excellent!! I am glad that I fought so hard against a wonderful Trainer like you. That's right! You grow stronger by matching yourself against a strong opponent. Please do your best and run toward the destination, an even higher state."''

====Multi line====
*Before battle
:''"I am a Subway Boss, Ingo. The fellow over to the side is also a Subway Boss, Emmet. Will a Multi Battle help us cover each other's weakness? Or will you show your overwhelming power? I look forward to seeing how well you fight. However, it is difficult to win unless you and your partner are in total sync."''

*When victorious
:''"We make a good two-car train, Ingo and Emmet. This time, we worked together toward a victory. However, your abilities are very impressive."''

*When defeated
:''"Bravo!! What you showed us is a spark as Trainers. However, let me say just one thing. Winning against us is a milestone in your life. You can rack up more and more. Please move on toward an even greater goal!"''

====Super Multi line====
*Before battle

*When defeated
:''"Bravo!! Really excellent! The best combination of you and your Pokémon. It is incredible! When you and someone else combine, your engine powers something special! If you like, please challenge us with a different combination."''

'''PokéBeach''' is a Pokémon fan site run by Water Pokémon Master.

The site opened to the public on July 15, 2003, although Water Pokémon Master had been working on it privately since 1999. Since then, it has become one of the most popular Pokémon fan sites on the internet.

Although the site focuses on several aspects of the fandom, its primary focus is the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The site features scans of Pokémon cards, as well as guides on how to play the game.

In 2008, the web site was able to have an interview with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], a director and storyboard artist for the {{pkmn|anime}}. In it, he revealed much previously unknown information about the series.

In 2009, the site was able to go to the early screening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' in Japan, even though Water Pokémon Master was not picked for the special rally from [[CoroCoro]].

In September 2010, the site's forums inducted a new rule stating that users must use proper grammar and spelling, stating that they aren't a chat room.

On May 25, 2011, a new rule was made banning advertising other websites. There were already advertising rules, but all advertising has been banned, on posts and in signatures. Another rule was also made in the same announcement, banning plagiarism.

Upon the release of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], PokéBeach was the first of two sites to receive a cease and desist order from Nintendo for posting images of Pokémon Black and White. The site then temporarily changed all pictures from the games to pictures of [[Ditto]] and changed their name to PokerBeach as a joke to protest Nintendo's actions. It has since gone back to using the images and using the name PokéBeach.

== Undoing edits ==

It's very much appreciated that you undid someone's vandalism, but there's an easier way to do it without editing the page so many times in a row. Just go to the history of the page, and click on a revision that doesn't have the vandalism, and just click save on that. Don't forget to use the preview button. Thank you. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 21:38, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

==Undoing my edit==
Why did you undo my edit on Viridian City's Korean name? I happen to know how to read Korean. That is the proper way to spell it. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 00:30, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

'''Viridian City''' (Japanese: '''トキワシティ''' ''Tokiwa City'') is a small city located in western [[Kanto]]. In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, [[Team Rocket]] leader [[Giovanni]] serves as [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the {{t|Ground}}-specialist [[Viridian Gym]], but the [[Gym]] is locked until the {{player}} can gain all seven other [[Badge#Kanto|League Badges]]. {{ga|Blue}} becomes the Gym Leader in the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games and trains a variety of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Three paths, all major, lead from the city center. To the north is {{rt|2|Kanto}}, as well as [[Viridian Forest]], which lies in the middle of Route 2 south of [[Pewter City]]. To the south is {{rt|1|Kanto}}, which leads to [[Pallet Town]]. To the west is {{rt|22|Kanto}}, leading to the [[Indigo Plateau]] and the [[Pokémon League]].
{{left clear}}

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon academy===
{{main|Pokémon academy}}
A Pokémon academy is a school where students and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can learn more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most beginning Trainers visit at least one of them, and common Trainers who study extensively at these locations are {{tc|Lass}}es, {{tc|School Kid}}s, and {{tc|Scientist}}s. Much like the Pokémon academy in [[Violet City]], this building, located in the center of Viridian in [[Generation III]] only, is dedicated to teaching the basics of Pokémon to inexperienced Trainers. Many Trainers that pass through Viridian fall under this category, making the city an ideal location. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}} this school was rebuilt as the [[Trainer House]].

===Old man===
{{main|Old man (Kanto)}}
[[File:Old man.png|thumb|left|The old man lying down in the middle of the road]]
There is a grumpy old man that lives in central Viridian City that will not let Trainer's pass through to {{rt|2|Kanto}}, until he has had his coffee for the day. In the original Japanese games, the old man is not grumpy from lack of coffee, but is rather drunk and has passed out in the middle of the road much to the dismay of his grandchild. This is just a barrier in the game, so players will not wander past Viridian City until the player goes to the Viridian [[Poké Mart]] and delivers a [[List of key items in Generation III#Oak's Parcel|parcel]] to [[Professor Oak]].

After that, he starts to lighten up and help the player by teaching them how to catch a Pokémon using a [[Poké Ball]]. This is a guide for novice players in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. He will also give the player a [[Teachy TV]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, which teaches the player a variety of things about battling and catching Pokémon.

He appears again in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} saying that he had his cup of coffee and also tells the player he was once an expert at catching Pokémon. This is a reference to the events that happened [[Generation I|three years]] before [[Generation II]].

===Trainer House===
{{main|Trainer House}}
[[File:Trainerhouse.png|thumb|right|The Trainer House in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In Generation II and IV, the Trainer House replaces the Pokémon academy. On entry, the first floor has a few people and a small desk. The basement is mostly comprised of a large open area with only a desk located at the top of the room and an open battlefield on the lower portion. After the battle, the player cannot re-challenge the the Trainers in the basement until the next day.

In Generation II, the Trainer will be the last player he or she has used Mystery Gift with, or in the case the {{player}} has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, {{ga|Cal}}. If it is another player that has used Mystery Gift with, their team will consist of whatever Pokémon were in their party at the time of using Mystery Gift, including [[held item]]s, [[move]]s, [[level]]s, and stats. Regardless of which Trainer it is, the opposing Trainer's sprite will be of {{ga|Ethan}}.

In Generation IV, the player will initially encounter only {{tc|Ace Trainer}} {{ga|Cal}}. When the player meets someone in the Pokéwalker and re-syncs it back to the player's game, the Trainer and their Pokémon will appear in the basement. Up to 10 additional Trainers may be encountered in this way. When the player meets someone in the Pokéwalker and re-syncs it back to the their game, the Trainer and their Pokémon will appear in the basement. Like Generation II, their team will consist of whatever Pokémon were in their party at the time of re-syncing with the Pokéwalker, including [[held item]]s, [[move]]s, [[level]]s, and stats. Unlike Generation II, if a Pokémon's level is above 50, its level is reduced to 50, just like a battle under the [[Flat Battle]] rules. All of the opposing Trainer's Pokémon will be at the level they were at when the Pokémon was sent to the Pokéwalker in that game, unless they are above 50, at which they become level 50. Players will earn no EXP or money, but will receive 1 [[Battle Points|BP]].

===Viridian Gym===
{{main|Viridian Gym}}
[[Image:Viridian Gym FRLG.png|thumb|180px|Viridian Gym in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
The Viridian Gym is the official [[gym]] of Viridian City. It is based on {{type2|Ground}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader|Leader]] is [[Giovanni]], the head of [[Team Rocket]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{badge|Earth}}. Viridian Gym appears in all games set in the [[Kanto]] region. In [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, when the {{player}} makes their first encounter with the gym, it is locked because of the absence of the Gym Leader. With this acknowledged, the player journeys off onto other Gyms to challenge them. Once this has been accomplished and the player has collected the other seven [[badge|Gym Badges]], the Viridian Gym reopens.

Inside the Gym, the floor uses the same transporting tiles as in the [[Rocket Hideout]]. The player must use these tiles to navigate through the Gym to reach Giovanni. In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, Blue takes over the gym. In Generation II, the gym is completely remodeled and the tiles are now gone. In Generation IV, the tiles are put back up. The maze of tiles is roughly the same shape of the original Generation II gym. The colors of the Gym's exterior are based on the colors most associated with the type that the Gym specializes in. Viridian Gym, however, is both green and blue, likely referring to its Gym Leader's name.

In [[Generation I]], a {{DL|Revive|Revive}} can be found, while a {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}} replaces it in [[Generation III]], making it the only Gym with items in it. This is the only Gym to be based on 3 different types throughout the games and anime and the only one to not have a type for a generation. In all generations aside from [[Generation III]], at least one Trainer in the Viridian Gym owned a {{p|Rhydon}}, while in [[Generation III]], all of Giovanni's Pokémon knew {{m|Earthquake}}.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the population of Viridian City is 30.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population of Viridian City is 34. This shows that Viridian City has grown in size from FireRed and LeafGreen to HeartGold and SoulSilver.

==Poké Mart==
The [[Poké Mart]] is located below the [[Viridian Gym]]. In Generation II and IV, it is to the right of the Trainer House.

==Differences between generations==
===Generation I and III===
Viridian City is very consistent in the way of layout throughout each generation. There are no notable differences between the Generation I and Generation III games, except for houses being slightly bigger and some buildings repositioned. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards. Most of the towns residence remain the same, and will tell Trainers the same message. Items that are given out, however, are different from generation to generation.

===Generation II and IV===
The differences between the Generation II and IV and Generation I and III games are more noticeable. The [[Pokémon academy]] seen in Generation III has been replaced with the giant [[Trainer House]], and other buildings were added as well. Within the Trainer House in Generation II, Trainers will battle either {{ga|Cal}}, if the player has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, or the last player he or she has used Mystery Gift with. In Generation IV, the player may either battle Cal and up to 10 Trainers who they met on their Pokéwalker.

==In other media==
===In the anime===
[[File:Viridian City Pokémon Center.jpg|thumb|right|Viridian City's Pokémon Center.]]
Viridian City is first visited in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', when [[Ash Ketchum]] takes his injured {{AP|Pikachu}} to the [[Pokémon Center]] here. When entering the town, Ash is stopped by Viridian City's [[Officer Jenny]], who finds him suspicious, due to the fact he is carrying Pikachu in his arms and not a [[Poké Ball]]. While staying overnight at the Pokémon Center, Ash has his first encounter with the [[Team Rocket trio]]: [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Ash and Pikachu foil their plot to steal all the {{obp|Pokémon|species}} in the Pokémon Center, thus beginning Team Rocket's obsession with capturing Ash's Pikachu.
[[File:Viridian City outskirts.jpg|thumb|left|165px|The outskirts of Viridian City.]]

Sometime later, Ash and friends revisit Viridian City. They discover the [[Viridian Gym]], and Ash decides to fight the [[Gym Leader]], but {{Gary}} ends up fighting him first (forcing Ash to wait outside due to the one-Trainer-at-a-time policy that Viridian Gym apparently has). After {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is carried off by a {{p|Fearow}}, Ash and friends go looking for it, only to find it in the Gym. They then notice that Gary and his [[Gary's cheerleaders|girlfriends]] were badly injured due to {{an|Mewtwo}}'s attacks. After Ash fights and wins a difficult and dangerous battle with Team Rocket, the Gym collapses due to Togepi blowing up the stands. Afterwards, Ash and friends leave.

After the [[Silver Conference]], Viridian is once again revisited, only some things have changed. Most notably, the [[Nurse Joy]] who worked at the Viridian Center in ''Pokémon Emergency!'' had retired, {{an|Misty}}'s [[Bicycle|bike]] had been fixed, and Misty had to return to the gym in {{ci|Cerulean}} because her [[The Sensational Sisters|sisters]] were going away for three months. After a battle with Team Rocket, as well as [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|a trio of hired thugs]], they leave Viridian City.

Ash later passes through Viridian on the way home after the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Visiting the site of the rebuilt Viridian Gym, circumstances end up bringing him to the battlefield for a friendly one-on-one challenge with the temporary Gym Leader. While he doesn't fight {{an|Giovanni}}, he does end up fighting [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]].

===In the manga===
====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
Viridian City is first visited in the ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter when {{adv|Red}} and [[Professor Oak]] chase the {{obp|Pokémon|species}} that escaped from his laboratory. They enter the abandoned [[Viridian City Gym]] and fight with the only current resident of that building, an angry {{p|Machoke}}.

Viridian City made a brief appearance at the end of ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'' and at the beginning of ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'' in the {{adv|Red, Green & Blue chapter}} where citizens where asking about where {{adv|Giovanni}} had gone.

==Trivia==
*Its Japanese motto is {{tt|トキワはみどりえいえんのいろ|Tokiwa is the color of green eternity}}.
* In {{g|Pinball}}, Viridian City appears on the Blue table; catchable Pokémon include {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Tentacool}}.
*An {{pkmn|anime}} song {{so|Viridian City|of the same name}} is centered on its status as the location of the final [[Gym]] in [[Kanto]].
*It is the only town that is the first visited in the game that has a Gym after the starting location, though the Gym is closed until the other seven [[Badge]]s have been obtained.
* Its motto before Generation IV was "The Eternally Green Paradise".

'''Viridian City''' (Japanese: '''トキワシティ''' ''Tokiwa City'') is a small city located in western [[Kanto]]. In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, [[Team Rocket]] leader [[Giovanni]] serves as [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the {{t|Ground}}-specialist [[Viridian Gym]], but the [[Gym]] is locked until the {{player}} can gain all seven other [[Badge#Kanto|League Badges]]. {{ga|Blue}} becomes the Gym Leader in the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games and trains a variety of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Three paths, all major, lead from the city center. To the north is {{rt|2|Kanto}}, as well as [[Viridian Forest]], which lies in the middle of Route 2 south of [[Pewter City]]. To the south is {{rt|1|Kanto}}, which leads to [[Pallet Town]]. To the west is {{rt|22|Kanto}}, leading to the [[Indigo Plateau]] and the [[Pokémon League]].
{{left clear}}

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon academy===
{{main|Pokémon academy}}
A Pokémon academy is a school where students and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can learn more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most beginning Trainers visit at least one of them, and common Trainers who study extensively at these locations are {{tc|Lass}}es, {{tc|School Kid}}s, and {{tc|Scientist}}s. Much like the Pokémon academy in [[Violet City]], this building, located in the center of Viridian in [[Generation III]] only, is dedicated to teaching the basics of Pokémon to inexperienced Trainers. Many Trainers that pass through Viridian fall under this category, making the city an ideal location. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}} this school was rebuilt as the [[Trainer House]].

===Old man===
{{main|Old man (Kanto)}}
[[File:Old man.png|thumb|left|The old man lying down in the middle of the road]]
There is a grumpy old man that lives in central Viridian City that will not let Trainer's pass through to {{rt|2|Kanto}}, until he has had his coffee for the day. In the original Japanese games, the old man is not grumpy from lack of coffee, but is rather drunk and has passed out in the middle of the road much to the dismay of his grandchild. This is just a barrier in the game, so players will not wander past Viridian City until the player goes to the Viridian [[Poké Mart]] and delivers a [[List of key items in Generation III#Oak's Parcel|parcel]] to [[Professor Oak]].

After that, he starts to lighten up and help the player by teaching them how to catch a Pokémon using a [[Poké Ball]]. This is a guide for novice players in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. He will also give the player a [[Teachy TV]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, which teaches the player a variety of things about battling and catching Pokémon.

He appears again in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} saying that he had his cup of coffee and also tells the player he was once an expert at catching Pokémon. This is a reference to the events that happened [[Generation I|three years]] before [[Generation II]].

===Trainer House===
{{main|Trainer House}}
[[File:Trainerhouse.png|thumb|right|The Trainer House in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In Generation II and IV, the Trainer House replaces the Pokémon academy. On entry, the first floor has a few people and a small desk. The basement is mostly comprised of a large open area with only a desk located at the top of the room and an open battlefield on the lower portion. After the battle, the player cannot re-challenge the the Trainers in the basement until the next day.

In Generation II, the Trainer will be the last player he or she has used Mystery Gift with, or in the case the {{player}} has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, {{ga|Cal}}. If it is another player that has used Mystery Gift with, their team will consist of whatever Pokémon were in their party at the time of using Mystery Gift, including [[held item]]s, [[move]]s, [[level]]s, and stats. Regardless of which Trainer it is, the opposing Trainer's sprite will be of {{ga|Ethan}}.

In Generation IV, the player will initially encounter only {{tc|Ace Trainer}} {{ga|Cal}}. When the player meets someone in the Pokéwalker and re-syncs it back to the player's game, the Trainer and their Pokémon will appear in the basement. Up to 10 additional Trainers may be encountered in this way. When the player meets someone in the Pokéwalker and re-syncs it back to the their game, the Trainer and their Pokémon will appear in the basement. Like Generation II, their team will consist of whatever Pokémon were in their party at the time of re-syncing with the Pokéwalker, including [[held item]]s, [[move]]s, [[level]]s, and stats. Unlike Generation II, if a Pokémon's level is above 50, its level is reduced to 50, just like a battle under the [[Flat Battle]] rules. All of the opposing Trainer's Pokémon will be at the level they were at when the Pokémon was sent to the Pokéwalker in that game, unless they are above 50, at which they become level 50. Players will earn no EXP or money, but will receive 1 [[Battle Points|BP]].

===Viridian Gym===
{{main|Viridian Gym}}
[[Image:Viridian Gym FRLG.png|thumb|180px|Viridian Gym in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
The Viridian Gym is the official [[gym]] of Viridian City. It is based on {{type2|Ground}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader|Leader]] is [[Giovanni]], the head of [[Team Rocket]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{badge|Earth}}. Viridian Gym appears in all games set in the [[Kanto]] region. In [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, when the {{player}} makes their first encounter with the gym, it is locked because of the absence of the Gym Leader. With this acknowledged, the player journeys off onto other Gyms to challenge them. Once this has been accomplished and the player has collected the other seven [[badge|Gym Badges]], the Viridian Gym reopens.

Inside the Gym, the floor uses the same transporting tiles as in the [[Rocket Hideout]]. The player must use these tiles to navigate through the Gym to reach Giovanni. In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, Blue takes over the gym. In Generation II, the gym is completely remodeled and the tiles are now gone. In Generation IV, the tiles are put back up. The maze of tiles is roughly the same shape of the original Generation II gym. The colors of the Gym's exterior are based on the colors most associated with the type that the Gym specializes in. Viridian Gym, however, is both green and blue, likely referring to its Gym Leader's name.

In [[Generation I]], a {{DL|Revive|Revive}} can be found, while a {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}} replaces it in [[Generation III]], making it the only Gym with items in it. This is the only Gym to be based on 3 different types throughout the games and anime and the only one to not have a type for a generation. In all generations aside from [[Generation III]], at least one Trainer in the Viridian Gym owned a {{p|Rhydon}}, while in [[Generation III]], all of Giovanni's Pokémon knew {{m|Earthquake}}.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the population of Viridian City is 30.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population of Viridian City is 34. This shows that Viridian City has grown in size from FireRed and LeafGreen to HeartGold and SoulSilver.

==Poké Mart==
The [[Poké Mart]] is located below the [[Viridian Gym]]. In Generation II and IV, it is to the right of the Trainer House.

==Differences between generations==
===Generation I and III===
Viridian City is very consistent in the way of layout throughout each generation. There are no notable differences between the Generation I and Generation III games, except for houses being slightly bigger and some buildings repositioned. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards. Most of the towns residence remain the same, and will tell Trainers the same message. Items that are given out, however, are different from generation to generation.

===Generation II and IV===
The differences between the Generation II and IV and Generation I and III games are more noticeable. The [[Pokémon academy]] seen in Generation III has been replaced with the giant [[Trainer House]], and other buildings were added as well. Within the Trainer House in Generation II, Trainers will battle either {{ga|Cal}}, if the player has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, or the last player he or she has used Mystery Gift with. In Generation IV, the player may either battle Cal and up to 10 Trainers who they met on their Pokéwalker.

==In other media==
===In the anime===
[[File:Viridian City Pokémon Center.jpg|thumb|right|Viridian City's Pokémon Center.]]
Viridian City is first visited in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', when [[Ash Ketchum]] takes his injured {{AP|Pikachu}} to the [[Pokémon Center]] here. When entering the town, Ash is stopped by Viridian City's [[Officer Jenny]], who finds him suspicious, due to the fact he is carrying Pikachu in his arms and not a [[Poké Ball]]. While staying overnight at the Pokémon Center, Ash has his first encounter with the [[Team Rocket trio]]: [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Ash and Pikachu foil their plot to steal all the {{obp|Pokémon|species}} in the Pokémon Center, thus beginning Team Rocket's obsession with capturing Ash's Pikachu.
[[File:Viridian City outskirts.jpg|thumb|left|165px|The outskirts of Viridian City.]]

Sometime later, Ash and friends revisit Viridian City. They discover the [[Viridian Gym]], and Ash decides to fight the [[Gym Leader]], but {{Gary}} ends up fighting him first (forcing Ash to wait outside due to the one-Trainer-at-a-time policy that Viridian Gym apparently has). After {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is carried off by a {{p|Fearow}}, Ash and friends go looking for it, only to find it in the Gym. They then notice that Gary and his [[Gary's cheerleaders|girlfriends]] were badly injured due to {{an|Mewtwo}}'s attacks. After Ash fights and wins a difficult and dangerous battle with Team Rocket, the Gym collapses due to Togepi blowing up the stands. Afterwards, Ash and friends leave.

After the [[Silver Conference]], Viridian is once again revisited, only some things have changed. Most notably, the [[Nurse Joy]] who worked at the Viridian Center in ''Pokémon Emergency!'' had retired, {{an|Misty}}'s [[Bicycle|bike]] had been fixed, and Misty had to return to the gym in {{ci|Cerulean}} because her [[The Sensational Sisters|sisters]] were going away for three months. After a battle with Team Rocket, as well as [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|a trio of hired thugs]], they leave Viridian City.

Ash later passes through Viridian on the way home after the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Visiting the site of the rebuilt Viridian Gym, circumstances end up bringing him to the battlefield for a friendly one-on-one challenge with the temporary Gym Leader. While he doesn't fight {{an|Giovanni}}, he does end up fighting [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]].

===In the manga===
====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
Viridian City is first visited in the ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter when {{adv|Red}} and [[Professor Oak]] chase the {{obp|Pokémon|species}} that escaped from his laboratory. They enter the abandoned [[Viridian City Gym]] and fight with the only current resident of that building, an angry {{p|Machoke}}.

Viridian City made a brief appearance at the end of ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'' and at the beginning of ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'' in the {{adv|Red, Green & Blue chapter}} where citizens where asking about where {{adv|Giovanni}} had gone.

==Trivia==
*Its Japanese motto is {{tt|トキワはみどりえいえんのいろ|Tokiwa is the color of green eternity}}.
* In {{g|Pinball}}, Viridian City appears on the Blue table; catchable Pokémon include {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Tentacool}}.
*An {{pkmn|anime}} song {{so|Viridian City|of the same name}} is centered on its status as the location of the final [[Gym]] in [[Kanto]].
*It is the only town that is the first visited in the game that has a Gym after the starting location, though the Gym is closed until the other seven [[Badge]]s have been obtained.
* Its motto before Generation IV was "The Eternally Green Paradise".

'''Conkeldurr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ローブシン''' ''Roobushin'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gurdurr}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Timburr}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Conkeldurr is a bipedal, primarily sepia-colored, ogre-like Fighting-type Pokémon. Its nose is large and red, with its face also having a prominent brow, a wide mouth, a gray tuft on its chin, dark rings around its eyes and a bulbous feature sticking up from the back of his head. Thick violet bands and bulges adorn its shoulders, chest, back and thighs. It is known to carry concrete pillars in its massive arms.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Conkeldurr can create concrete, a technique it was believed to have taught humans 2000 years ago. It uses its concrete pillars to attack strongly, without using its physical strength. It also uses them like a cane.

==Trivia==
* Conkeldurr's evolutionary line shares many similarities with {{p|Machamp}}'s evolutionary line. Both of them are {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon whose {{stat|Attack}} is their highest stat, have below average {{stat|Speed}}, have the same gender ratio, have three evolutionary stages, reach their respective final-evolutionary form through [[Trade|trading]] and have the same base stat total.
* Conkeldurr has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
At first glance, Conkeldurr's brutal humanoid appearance suggests inspiration from {{wp|ogre}}s of folklore. Furthermore, {{p|Timburr}}'s Pokédex entry supports that it and its evolutions are based on {{wp|construction worker}}s. Due to its clown nose and buff body, it may have also been based on a muscleman {{wp|Glossary of 'carny' slang|carnie}} from a {{wp|Sideshow|carnival sideshow}}.

====Name origin====
Conkeldurr likely comes from ''concrete'' and ''elder''. It may also call to mind ''conk'', having meaning as both an especially large nose and in hitting, or conking, someone on the head.

Roobushin may be a portmanteau of 老 ''rō'', old and 武人 ''bujin'', warrior or 武神 ''bushin'', warlord. The ''ushin'' part of its name may also be from push, referring to how it is pushing cement blocks.

April Fools' Day 2011

2011-05-25T23:59:52Z

ISB: Pokebeach did stuff too

'''April 1, 2011''' was an {{wp|April Fools' Day}} that fell on a Friday. In the Pokémon fandom, many websites pulled hoaxes on gullible fans.
==Hoaxes==
===Bulbagarden===
[[File:FushigipediaSS.png|200px|thumb|right|Bulbapedia as "Fushigipedia"]]
*Bulbapedia temporarily rechristened itself as '''Fushigipedia''', "the Pocket Monster encyclopedia", complete with [[Generation I|First Generation]] colors, references, and imagery of Pokémon throughout the site. The featured article was {{appendix|Game Boy}}, rewritten for 1998. To coincide with the Bulbasaur theme of Bulbapedia, the romanization derivation is taken from Bulbasaur's name, ''Fushigidane''.
*Bulbanews temporarily undertook the name of '''Fushiginews''' updating articles "Every 13 years". Covering the Front page were [[n:Category:1998|articles from 1998]] including an article about a rumored [[SS Anne#Rumors|Truck]] on the Vermilion City port.
*Bulbagarden forums were redesigned to become '''Retrogarden''', with the forum taking on a look and theme of 1998 as though the announcement of Pokémon coming to the United States had just recently taken place.
*Bulbagarden Archives was given an aesthetic makeover and renamed '''Fushigi-Archives''' to match the themes of both Fushigipedia and Fushiginews.
===Other fan sites===
[[File:PokeCommunityAF2011SerebiiForumsComparison.png|thumb|right|Pokécommunity vs. Serebii]]
*[[PKMN.NET]] reported on a new Pokémon Trading Card video game for the Nintendo 3DS titled "Pokémon Trading Card Revolution". <ref>[http://pkmn.net/?action=news&page=viewnews&id=856 TCG Game Sequel Finally Announced For 3DS]</ref>
*[[The PokéMasters]] changed the themes of its main site and forums to "{{ga|Blue|Gary Oak Masters}}" theme, disabling the style changing dropdowns on both. The forums also implemented a celebration of Gary Oak with every thread mentioning "Gary was Here" and the Rival music from [[Generation I]] being played. Additionally, the site's announced the remake of Pokémon Snap 3DS with the Source linking to Rebecca Black's 'Friday' video.
[[File:PsypokeAprilFoolsBWbanner.jpg|thumb|right|One of Psypoke's fake banner ads found on the site during April Fool's Day]]
*[[Psypoke]] was redesigned with an advertising campaign with the theme of Rebecca Black Version and Betty White Version. Advertisements were placed on the main site and forums with respective banners including Betty White Version [[RageCandyBar]], Rebecca Black [[Xtransceiver]] and [[Week Siblings|Frieda of Friday]] parodies, the latter being a reference to Black's song "Friday."
*[http://veekun.com veekun] appeared as a mirror image, flipping back to normal when the cursor was over the page. 
*Similar to previous years, [[PokéCommunity]] parodied [[Serebii.net|Serebii]] Forums and locked the skin as the same {{p|Celebi}} green.
*PokéCharms was redesigned as Smug World Order (SWO) with a {{p|Snivy|Smugleaf}} theming. The site announced its allegiance and dedication by handing over the site to "Lord Smugleaf". <ref>[http://www.pokecharms.com/2011/04/welcome-to-the-smug-world-order/ Welcome to the Smug World Order]</ref>

'''PokéBeach''' is a Pokémon fan site run by Water Pokémon Master.

The site opened to the public on July 15, 2003, although Water Pokémon Master had been working on it privately since 1999. Since then, it has become one of the most popular Pokémon fan sites on the internet.

Although the site focuses on several aspects of the fandom, its primary focus is the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The site features scans of Pokémon cards, as well as guides on how to play the game.

In 2008, the web site was able to have an interview with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], a director and storyboard artist for the {{pkmn|anime}}. In it, he revealed much previously unknown information about the series.

In 2009, the site was able to go to the early screening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' in Japan, even though Water Pokémon Master was not picked for the special rally from [[CoroCoro]].

In September 2010, the site's forums inducted a new rule stating that users must use proper grammar and spelling, stating that they aren't a chat room.

Upon the release of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], PokéBeach was the first of two sites to receive a cease and desist order from Nintendo for posting images of Pokémon Black and White. The site then temporarily changed all pictures from the games to pictures of [[Ditto]] and changed their name to PokerBeach as a joke to protest Nintendo's actions. It has since gone back to using the images and using the name PokéBeach.

Talk:Whitney

2011-05-25T19:47:52Z

ISB: /* Nidorina... */

''Whitney says Attract is perfect for a cutie like her, because it makes full use of a Pokémon's Pokémon.'' 
- [[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 10:39, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Take a look at this:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0_EwX-OzlQ]. Doesn't the little girl with the pink hair look like Whitney, or is it just me.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 10:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

== Uncle Milton? ==

According to "relatives" box in Whitney's article she has an Uncle Milton. Sounds like fanon. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
:No, he's in the anime. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 09:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
::Yea, I found a pic of him: [[Image:UncleMilton.JPG|200px]]. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 22:41, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

== Accent ==

How does she speak in English? Like is she different from most voices? [[User:Kanjo|Kanjo]] 11:31, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

== Hair ==

The status box says she has brown hair in the second generation and anime. This page alone disproves that. Heck, the only place where she has brown hair is the game sprite, and given the GBC's limited coloring, I'm willing to ignore that. THe anime and her character design blatantly have pink hair. --[[User:Biccy|Biccy]] 03:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

:<strike>Sorry, sorry. My bad... I meant to say here '''eyes''' were brown and now they are pink. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:58, 16 September 2009 (UTC)</strike>

::... Oh, wow, I did. Sorry, I'm so used to them being flipped on stats, so xD;;;; Sorry, my bad.--[[User:Biccy|Biccy]] 06:42, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

== Viz nicknames ==

How are her Pokemon nicknamed in the Viz version? "Milmil", "Fafa" and "Buff Buff" are all CY's nicknames. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:48, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
:Mil Mil remains, fafa and Buff buff weren't introduced yet if I recall...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 08:58, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't a pic of her during the original series be there instead of a cameo/flashback? [[User:J-J-M|'''J''']]'''-'''[[User talk:J-J-M|'''J''']]'''-'''[[Special:Contributions/J-J-M|'''M''']] 15:02, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

::He means the anime picture. The picture of Whitney and Morty. Bulbapedia tends to prefer HD pictures over other pictures. But we should have one of her from the past as well. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:18, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

== Nidorina... ==

When we can add Trivia again, shouldn't something be mentioned about her Nidorina? I thought she only used Normal types? Doesn't this make her the first Gym Leader to use a Pokemon in a gym battle that isn't of that particular Gym Leaders type? (if that makes sense) [[User:Buizel1991|Buizel1991]] 19:41, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Why has no one said anything about the roars of Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Zekrom in the anime? Cause it should at least in the trivia say that: Dialga uses King Ghidorah's roar. Palkia uses Boga's roar and some of Godzilla's and King Ghidorah's roars. Giratina uses Mothra's roar. And Zekrom uses Megaguirus's roar. I know that its not that important but it is fact so cant it be put in their trivia section on thier pages? Am i the only one that thinks that it should?

== Move Trivia ==

Should there be a trivia section for moves? For instance, only one Pokémon can learn [[Steel Wing]] by leveling up.--[[User:Chalkwriter|Chalkwriter]] 16:26, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
:There are for some moves, but not all of them have any notable trivia to add, so there is no sub heading. If you think of '''notable''' trivia, then add the sub-heading and put it in.

== Glitch Pokémon ==

Hi there. I remember when I was around nine, I used to play Pokémon Gold & Crystal, and I remember there was this cloning trick that could clone pokémon and the items that they held. Anyways, I began to notice if I did the right trick at a certain time, (or whatever it was, it has been a while) I managed to get a special type of Pokémon, the trainer. The trainer of course, had no moves and therefore could only struggle, but you could use TMs and everything. I remember having fun with that, but I can't find any info on this.- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Bublador}} ([[User talk:Bublador|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bublador|contribs]]) ''

Try this page, all of the glitches are on [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Glitches#All_Generations]] and please sign your comment when you use these talk pages. thank you --[[User:Daniel1993|Daniel1993]] 19:55, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

== Pronunciation ==

I'm just thinking if on every Pokémon's page that we have their Pronunciation somewhere? like this:

Say: Sin-da-qwil

What do you think?--[[User:lilkaykaygal|KayKay]]|[[User talk:Lilkaykaygal|Chat to me!]] 07:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
:It's a good idea, but I believe we've had problems with adding pronunciations in the past because of people not agreeing on the "correct" pronunciation (also, sometimes there are conflicting pronunciations from different official sources) --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 07:06, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
::Oh oh then. I just though because some Pokémon I can't pronounce their names--[[User:lilkaykaygal|KayKay]]|[[User talk:Lilkaykaygal|Chat to me!]] 07:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
:::If you have a look at the source of, say, Bulbasaur's page, you'll see this:

== Artwork?! ==

I hate to be the silly one who starts the "What's going on?!!" discussion, but seriously, why have all the pictures of the Generation I Pokémon been changed to the old Red and Green artwork? Is it for an aniversary or something? [[User:Taromon777|'''T a r o m o n''']] 10:59, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. Anniversary of RB was yesterday, so Gen I Pokémon got Gen I art.

== just a though... ==

i realise this is probably in the wrong place, but, as unlocking the generation IV nationaldex and requesting a trade on the GTS require only seeing a particular species of pokémon, would it make sense to include a section explaining where to see them. (and i am aware that the GTS has only around a week left). I know that people (granted they are few) have had problems viewing unown and riolu in DP for example.--[[User:Mr-connor|Mr-connor]] 13:03, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

== Sizes on Pokémon pages.. ==

Something that's been bugging me for a while. I've been manually going around and resizing the main art boxes at the top of each Pokémon page so they all match each other and look uniform. However, many times box sizes will still be off by a few pixels. Would there be anyway to code something that keeps them all the same size? [http://i54.tinypic.com/28rcc53.png] is an example of what Ii'm talking about. Basically, the box that surrounds the art.~★ '''[[User:Cubic Question|''cubic'']][[User talk:Cubic Question|''QUESTION'']]''' 13:48, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
:Even if you make the width a certain size, the length will be different according to the size of the art. To get it uniform, you would have to make every file have some whitespace so it would be the same size. That won't happen though. The boxes don't really need to be uniform in size.

:The footprint is already in each Pokémon's infobox. And, we already discussed that the pronunciation caused conflict, and the Pokémon Wiki is far from a reliable source.

:Most form changing Pokémon have their forms rotated based on the current time (see {{p|Arceus}}, then refresh the page).

== Doesn't look like the servers are being nice ==

No, I'm not geting 504s (or, if I am, FireFox is hiding them); I'm getting something even worse: pages not loading at all. A couple of days ago, I was going to come here to get a small amount of information, and it took ages to do so (so long in fact that I just got it O_O). I think the servers are being overstressed - despite the fact that I was getting good ping times off of 10 pings to the site's router (if there is one), I couldn't load any pages - not even robots.txt! That is just a simple text document, and it wouldn't even load! I would start the lockdown soon, as the closer to release we get, the more activity we are likely to get.

I consider myself lucky I could even get on right now. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] 06:37, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

== Finally! ==

as i mentioned Form changing above, We can use A method for pokemon with 2 different forms like giratina and shellos

Method: All you guys saw Avatar, Everyone Saw. Now See The [http://james-camerons-avatar.wikia.com Avatar Wiki]'s Jake Sully Article.

:That's a really good idea actually, I think it would be better than the Pokemon's form just changing periodically.

::I dunno. Shaymin is also two formes, and changes with time. Shellos and Giratina, by the way, are not random. It's based on the hours.

== Metric tags in Pokédex entries ==
All pokedex entries use the imperial units of measurement from the US translation. I suggest adding tags with the metric counterparts for two reasons:

1 - the original Japanese entries use metric units, so it could be seen as "more canon".

2 - there are international users of Bulbapedia (me included) that are not used to imperial units.

For example, the final sentence in Magneton's entry in Yellow could be: ''It raises the temperature by {{tt|3.6F degrees|2°C}} within {{tt|3,300 feet|1 km}}.''

If the staff agrees, I'm willing to go through all Pokedex entries and add the metric values. I know enough Japanese to easily get the official values from the pokedex entries listed on the Japanese wiki, assuming those are correct.

--[[User:BlackySully|BlackySully]] 09:05, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

:Metric system seems like a pretty simple and straightforward thing to include, it's merely a big job to go through ''everything'' and add the metric equivalent. Perhaps starting small, with say the Pokémon infobox only for now, and work our way up (every infobox should list the Pokémon's height and weight, so it's the most prominent use of the imperial system). Pokédex entries are also pretty simple, but I'd also say they're the less important area to work on (no complaints if you want to fix them all yourself, however). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 11:28, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

== Clearer distinction between "natural" and Dream World abilities. ==

I think the distinction between pokémon that only have certain abilities through the Pokémon Dream World and those that don't can be made clearer. For example, on pages of separate abilities there is just one table with normal and PDW pokémon all mixed up, while it would be easier to make separate tables for both. I think this would help both users that own Pokémon Black or White and those that don't. Besides that we could also make a category for "Abilities exclusive to Pokémon Dream World", like {{a|Harvest}}. --[[User:BlackySully|BlackySully]] 00:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

::To clarify what Jello said, the date we use for the countdown is the ''first'' official ''English'' release date. For Platinum it was the North American date, as the North American date was before the European date. For Black and White the European date is first, so we are counting down to that date. If, by some chance, the next main series game(s) is/are released in Australia and New Zealand first (I wish), then we will count down to that date instead.

:::::Ah, I get it now.--[[User:Celibi25|Celibi25]] 02:11, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
::::::Yes, I was actually meaning changing the existing one (even if only once it had expired). However the same applies for multiple countdowns. The bigger issue (bigger than the server load) is that if we are going to have more than one countdown, we must then include a countdown for ''every'' English release, since we aren't being biased towards any one region. So we would probably end up with five or six, rather than two, and that would be too many. Not server-load too many, although it could prove problematic, but too many space-wise on the main page. If you wish to put your own countdown on your userpage, I remember seeing a template for it floating around in someone's userspace.

::::::The reason we are doing the first English release, rather than the American release, it that this is an Engligh-language site, rather than a specifically North American site. Although the servers are in the US, our webmaster, Archaic, lives in Australia. To make a special case for the North American release would appear as a great big insult to all our non-American users, since we've never done anything like that for the European release when it was second.

== Pokemon Game Synopsis? ==

I've scoured Bulbapedia and google for the synopsis of the Pokemon games but can't find them at all! Can anyone point me to them?
Eg, How each games unfolds and how they link into eachother (I know there's a lot to do with gen I in the gen II games)
Thanks! [[User:Dazzaclarke|Dazzaclarke]] 20:06, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:I believe the closest you can get to a synopsis of the story is rather each article's Plot section such as [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions#Plot|this]]. OR For a walk through the plot of each game you can look here: [[Bulbapedia:Project Walkthroughs/To-do list|Walkthroughs]]. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 23:50, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

==Small Idea==

Is it planned exactly what time the website would be lockdowned during game releases? If so maybe you could post a warning on the website banner around what time the website would be locked if possible so users making large edits won't lose all of their work? Just a idea. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:48, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:If you haven't figure it out by now, it's usually during the time of the release of a new game. It's usually locked down to reduce server stress. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 01:59, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
::Yes I realize that but the website was blocked on last friday or so it was fine at 2:30 but blocked at around 3:13 it's very hard to know when it's gonna lock down with no warning. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 02:02, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:::We don't have a schedule for when the site is locked. It's unfortunate, and we don't do it to inconvenience Bulbapedia editors. When the traffic to Bulbapedia spikes to such a rate which can trigger server outages, we close off editing. This vastly reduces the number of pages being loaded, therefore reducing server use levels. This may happen at any time, especially around new games (although we have had work done to our network of servers recently which should hopefully reduce this in future). I apologise, but there is no way we can give any kind of warning for locking the site. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Okay I just wanted to know if it was possible. I know all about the server stress and the chaos it takes to run the site around high traffic times. Thank you for anwsering. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 02:09, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Moves in Triple Battles ==

I know you have what positions moves target in Triple Battles but it's not entirely clear. I can't tell whether it means it will hit all 3 opponents or just the 2 non diagonal ones infront of you. If it could be more specific as in which Pokemon it will hit if you are in the centre and which Pokemon you will hit if you are at the side. Thanks. [[User:Lucky V4.0|Lucky V4.0]] 10:41, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
:The diagrams should help, but unfortunately we are half-way through updating them. Most moves which say that they can hit any opponent can only hit adjacent opponents. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:48, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

== Moving Sprites for Black and White ==

I have seen how on this site and many others how the Crystal and Emerald sprites move on their list of sprites but ones on DPP and HGSS don't. I can understand because they only flash between 2 separate sprites but for Black and White the sprites are constantly in motion and I have seen moving images of them before on the internet so I don't think it will be a problem to add them to the pages. [[User:Lucky V4.0|Lucky V4.0]] 10:44, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
:Most sprites from DPPtHGSSBW are animated. However, they are animated PNG files, so cannot be seen animated in all browsers. They cannot be seen in Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, while they can in Mozilla Firefox and Opera. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:48, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
::Correction: Most sprites from BW ''should'' be animated, but I don't think all of them have been uploaded yet. In particular, I believe we lack the animated sprites for a number of National Dex Pokémon. Unfortunately, it's a bit more complicated than just adding ones you find on the internet: For one, most of the ones you find elsewhere might be the wrong format, and we would also want to get them directly from the game in order to make sure they're completely accurate. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:32, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

== Shorthand route naming system ==

Would it be a good idea to have a shorthand method of referring to routes, for example

*R1 links to route 1
*UR1 links to Unova route 1
Is this a good idea? [[User:Mattrules161|Mattrules161]] 11:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
:Too many things can be considered "R". I know, for example, that the Japanese cards have recently been listing Rare as R on cards and UltraRare as UR. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 11:29, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

:Yes, but this would always be followed by a number to avoid confusion. If needed a disambiguation page could be placed at R to link to Route and TCG, same at UR except link to Unova[[User:Mattrules161|Mattrules161]] 12:17, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
::UR1 is Reshiram, UR2 is Tornadus, UR3 is Pikachu, UR4 is Zekrom, UR5 is Thundurus, UR6 is Pikachu.

==Suggestion==
I'm not sure where to suggest this so I'll ask here. Currently Smeargle isn't added in any egg move table, since Smeargle can pass down any egg move to ground egg group Pokémon I think it should be added. I found it annoying when it took me so long to figure out that Scraggy can have Dragon Dance and Drain Punch in the same moveset with Smeargle, I don't think people generally check a Pokémon's egg group when breeding egg moves because that's what the egg move tables for, also it would be more accurate to have Smeargle. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 16:42, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
:Each move only has the most direct way of learning the move in the father sections. Smeargle can't learn the move directly, it must learn it from something else.

Whiteouts don't always happen, its a random chance of just normal coin display or an actual whiteout.

For ▓0, 0 is replaced by the number of coins you have.

Glitch Pokémon

2011-05-24T21:15:35Z

ISB: /* Trivia */

[[File:Missingno RB.png|thumb|right|[[Missingno.]], a glitch Pokémon]]
A '''glitch Pokémon''' is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that only exists in the games due to a programming oversight, when the game attempts to draw up data for an invalid Pokémon.

Some glitch Pokémon have characteristics derived from the game's default error handling capabilities for an invalid Pokémon, such as the name "[[Missingno.]]" or "{{?|10}}". Another example of this is learn-set data for an {{pkmn|egg}} Generation IV, where it learns {{m|Splash}} as a starting move, likely to prevent the [[Game freeze|game freezing]] from an [[list of glitch moves|invalid move]] from being used.

In [[Generation I]], some glitch Pokémon may freeze the game if sent out on the opponent's side, depending on their Pokédex number and the version used, and glitch Pokémon with index numbers greater than 199 will always bring up equivalent [[glitch Trainer]]s if encountered directly in the wild. These glitch Pokémon cannot be obtained via a wild battle, and must be obtained using a different glitch to the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} or [[old man glitch]], such as [[evolution]] from another glitch Pokémon, trading an equivalent [[index number]] glitch Pokémon to another version, or the [[Johto guard glitch]].

Additionally, catching certain obtainable glitch Pokémon in Generation I may cause endless [[Pokédex]] data to appear. To avoid this, the player must have activated a specific flag, if this is a [[hybrid glitch Pokémon]], the flag is activated by either seeing a specific Pokémon or owning a specific Pokémon.

Time Capsule exploit

2011-05-24T21:11:22Z

ISB: /* Application */

The '''Johto guard glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} which allows players to trade a [[Generation II]] Pokémon into a [[Generation I]] game as an equivalent [[glitch freakin Pokémon]] or Generation I Pokémon by using a [[Five question marks#Hex FF|????? (index number 255)]].

A ????? (index number 255) can be obtained by using [[Celebi egg glitch]] and having the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} raise an obtained [[Five question marks#Hex 00|????? (index number 000)]] 'bad clone'. After withdrawing it, the ????? (index number 000) 'reverts' back into a ????? (index number 255).

This glitch takes advantage of ????? (index number 255)'s 'cloaking' abilities. If the ????? (index number 255) is switched above a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, it is possible to bring Generation II Pokémon into the [[Time Capsule]], as long as each Generation II Pokémon in the party is hidden below the ????? because Pokémon below it are temporarily regarded as being of index number 000 and ????? (index number 000) is not considered as a Generation II Pokémon by the game. As such, Pokémon below the ????? (index number 255) will be regarded as an [['M]] in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, or a [[3TrainerPoké]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

However, the game will still block the Pokémon if it has any [[move]]s which originated from Generation II even if ????? (index number 255) is above it, so any moves which originated from Generation II must still be removed by the [[Move Deleter]] if they are known by a Pokémon to be hidden by the ????? (index number 255).

==Applications==
The glitch is useful for obtaining [[glitch Pokémon]], and can be used to obtain almost any glitch Pokémon in [[Generation I]], including glitch Pokémon previously unobtainable via the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} and [[old man glitch]] because of a procedure where an equivalent Trainer class is fought if glitch Pokémon with index numbers of 200 and above are battled in the wild.

==Reverting 'M/3TrainerPoké into an equivalent species==
If the ????? (index number 255) is switched back underneath the Generation II Pokémon after entering the [[Time Capsule]], its original species is restored, meaning that Generation II Pokémon can be taken into the Time Capsule. Alternatively, the 'M or 3TrainerPoké can be taken into the Pokémon Day Care on {{rt|5|Kanto}} where it will revert back into the equivalent Pokémon.

Since Generation II Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, the received Generation I Pokémon is determined by a conversion table for index numbers 1-250 which is hard-coded into the ROM of {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. It is currently unknown what determines the equivalent Pokémon in Generation I for a Generation II Pokémon with index numbers 000 and 251-255 because the equivalent Generation I Pokémon is no longer consistent on the species for these Pokémon.

==History==
Before a method was found of obtaining a ????? (index number 255) without cheating, the idea of using a ????? to bypass a Generation II Pokémon in to the [[Time Capsule]] was proposed on [[TRsRockin]]'s forums, but was never fully investigated until Paco81's discovery of the [[Celebi egg glitch]] on [[Glitch City Laboratories]].

Time Capsule exploit

2011-05-24T21:11:09Z

ISB: someone block Goofyboygonebad

The '''Johto guard glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} which allows players to trade a [[Generation II]] Pokémon into a [[Generation I]] game as an equivalent [[glitch freakin Pokémon]] or Generation I Pokémon by using a [[Five question marks#Hex FF|????? (index number 255)]].

A ????? (index number 255) can be obtained by using [[Celebi egg glitch]] and having the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} raise an obtained [[Five question marks#Hex 00|????? (index number 000)]] 'bad clone'. After withdrawing it, the ????? (index number 000) 'reverts' back into a ????? (index number 255).

This glitch takes advantage of ????? (index number 255)'s 'cloaking' abilities. If the ????? (index number 255) is switched above a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, it is possible to bring Generation II Pokémon into the [[Time Capsule]], as long as each Generation II Pokémon in the party is hidden below the ????? because Pokémon below it are temporarily regarded as being of index number 000 and ????? (index number 000) is not considered as a Generation II Pokémon by the game. As such, Pokémon below the ????? (index number 255) will be regarded as an [['M]] in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, or a [[3TrainerPoké]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

However, the game will still block the Pokémon if it has any [[move]]s which originated from Generation II even if ????? (index number 255) is above it, so any moves which originated from Generation II must still be removed by the [[Move Deleter]] if they are known by a Pokémon to be hidden by the ????? (index number 255).

==Application==
The glitch is useful for obtaining [[glitch Pokémon]], and can be used to obtain almost any glitch Pokémon in [[Generation I]], including glitch Pokémon previously unobtainable via the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} and [[old man glitch]] because of a procedure where an equivalent Trainer class is fought if glitch Pokémon with index numbers of 200 and above are battled in the wild.

==Reverting 'M/3TrainerPoké into an equivalent species==
If the ????? (index number 255) is switched back underneath the Generation II Pokémon after entering the [[Time Capsule]], its original species is restored, meaning that Generation II Pokémon can be taken into the Time Capsule. Alternatively, the 'M or 3TrainerPoké can be taken into the Pokémon Day Care on {{rt|5|Kanto}} where it will revert back into the equivalent Pokémon.

Since Generation II Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, the received Generation I Pokémon is determined by a conversion table for index numbers 1-250 which is hard-coded into the ROM of {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. It is currently unknown what determines the equivalent Pokémon in Generation I for a Generation II Pokémon with index numbers 000 and 251-255 because the equivalent Generation I Pokémon is no longer consistent on the species for these Pokémon.

Time Capsule exploit

2011-05-24T21:10:29Z

ISB: /* Intro */

The '''Johto guard glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} which allows players to trade a [[Generation II]] Pokémon into a [[Generation I]] game as an equivalent [[glitch freakin Pokémon]] or Generation I Pokémon by using a [[Five question marks#Hex FF|????? (index number 255)]].

A ????? (index number 255) can be obtained by using [[Celebi egg glitch]] and having the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} raise an obtained [[Five question marks#Hex 00|????? (index number 000)]] 'bad clone'. After withdrawing it, the ????? (index number 000) 'reverts' back into a ????? (index number 255).

This glitch takes advantage of ????? (index number 255)'s 'cloaking' abilities. If the ????? (index number 255) is switched above a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, it is possible to bring Generation II Pokémon into the [[Time Capsule]], as long as each Generation II Pokémon in the party is hidden below the ????? because Pokémon below it are temporarily regarded as being of index number 000 and ????? (index number 000) is not considered as a Generation II Pokémon by the game. As such, Pokémon below the ????? (index number 255) will be regarded as an [['M]] in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, or a [[3TrainerPoké]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

However, the game will still block the Pokémon if it has any [[move]]s which originated from Generation II even if ????? (index number 255) is above it, so any moves which originated from Generation II must still be removed by the [[Move Deleter]] if they are known by a Pokémon to be hidden by the ????? (index number 255).

==What it's for ==
The glitch is useful for obtaining [[glitch Pokémon]], and can be used to obtain almost any glitch Pokémon in [[Generation I]], including glitch Pokémon previously unobtainable via the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} and [[old man glitch]] because of a procedure where an equivalent Trainer class is fought if glitch Pokémon with index numbers of 200 and above are battled in the wild.

==Reverting 'M/3TrainerPoké into an equivalent species==
If the ????? (index number 255) is switched back underneath the Generation II Pokémon after entering the [[Time Capsule]], its original species is restored, meaning that Generation II Pokémon can be taken into the Time Capsule. Alternatively, the 'M or 3TrainerPoké can be taken into the Pokémon Day Care on {{rt|5|Kanto}} where it will revert back into the equivalent Pokémon.

Since Generation II Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, the received Generation I Pokémon is determined by a conversion table for index numbers 1-250 which is hard-coded into the ROM of {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. It is currently unknown what determines the equivalent Pokémon in Generation I for a Generation II Pokémon with index numbers 000 and 251-255 because the equivalent Generation I Pokémon is no longer consistent on the species for these Pokémon.

==History==
Before a method was found of obtaining a ????? (index number 255) without cheating, the idea of using a ????? to bypass a Generation II Pokémon in to the [[Time Capsule]] was proposed on [[TRsRockin]]'s forums, but was never fully investigated until Paco81's discovery of the [[Celebi egg glitch]] on [[Glitch City Laboratories]].

Time Capsule exploit

2011-05-24T21:06:52Z

ISB: /* why are you reading these */

The '''Johto guard glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} which allows players to trade a [[Generation II]] Pokémon into a [[Generation I]] game as an equivalent [[glitch freakin Pokémon]] or Generation I Pokémon by using a [[Five question marks#Hex FF|????? (index number 255)]].

your'e mom can be obtained by using (your'e dad) and having the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} raise an obtained [[Five question marks#Hex 00|????? (index number 000)]] 'bad clone'. After withdrawing it, the ????? (index number 000) 'reverts' back into a ????? (index number 255). if you read these right on cheesy

why the freak are you reading these
This glitch takes advantage of ????? (index number 255)'s 'cloaking' abilities. If the ????? (index number 255) is switched above a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, it is possible to bring Generation II Pokémon into the [[Time Capsule]], as long as each Generation II Pokémon in the party is hidden below the ????? because Pokémon below it are temporarily regarded as being of index number 000 and ????? (index number 000) is not considered as a Generation II Pokémon by the game. As such, Pokémon below the ????? (index number 255) will be regarded as an [['M]] in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, or a [[3TrainerPoké]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

However, the game will still block the Pokémon if it has any [[move]]s which originated from Generation II even if ????? (index number 255) is above it, so any moves which originated from Generation II must still be removed by the [[Move Deleter]] if they are known by a Pokémon to be hidden by the ????? (index number 255).

==What it's for ==
The glitch is useful for obtaining [[glitch Pokémon]], and can be used to obtain almost any glitch Pokémon in [[Generation I]], including glitch Pokémon previously unobtainable via the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} and [[old man glitch]] because of a procedure where an equivalent Trainer class is fought if glitch Pokémon with index numbers of 200 and above are battled in the wild.

==Reverting 'M/3TrainerPoké into an equivalent species==
If the ????? (index number 255) is switched back underneath the Generation II Pokémon after entering the [[Time Capsule]], its original species is restored, meaning that Generation II Pokémon can be taken into the Time Capsule. Alternatively, the 'M or 3TrainerPoké can be taken into the Pokémon Day Care on {{rt|5|Kanto}} where it will revert back into the equivalent Pokémon.

Since Generation II Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, the received Generation I Pokémon is determined by a conversion table for index numbers 1-250 which is hard-coded into the ROM of {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. It is currently unknown what determines the equivalent Pokémon in Generation I for a Generation II Pokémon with index numbers 000 and 251-255 because the equivalent Generation I Pokémon is no longer consistent on the species for these Pokémon.

==History of glitch==
Before a method was found of obtaining a ????? (index number 255) without cheating, the idea of using a ????? to bypass a Generation II Pokémon in to the [[Time Capsule]] was proposed on [[TRsRockin]]'s forums, but was never fully investigated until Paco81's discovery of the [[Celebi egg glitch]] on [[Glitch City Laboratories]].

Time Capsule exploit

2011-05-24T21:05:00Z

ISB: /* History of your'e moms butt */

The '''Johto guard glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} which allows players to trade a [[Generation II]] Pokémon into a [[Generation I]] game as an equivalent [[glitch freakin Pokémon]] or Generation I Pokémon by using a [[Five question marks#Hex FF|????? (index number 255)]].

your'e mom can be obtained by using (your'e dad) and having the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} raise an obtained [[Five question marks#Hex 00|????? (index number 000)]] 'bad clone'. After withdrawing it, the ????? (index number 000) 'reverts' back into a ????? (index number 255). if you read these right on cheesy

why the freak are you reading these
This glitch takes advantage of ????? (index number 255)'s 'cloaking' abilities. If the ????? (index number 255) is switched above a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, it is possible to bring Generation II Pokémon into the [[Time Capsule]], as long as each Generation II Pokémon in the party is hidden below the ????? because Pokémon below it are temporarily regarded as being of index number 000 and ????? (index number 000) is not considered as a Generation II Pokémon by the game. As such, Pokémon below the ????? (index number 255) will be regarded as an [['M]] in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, or a [[3TrainerPoké]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

However, the game will still block the Pokémon if it has any [[move]]s which originated from Generation II even if ????? (index number 255) is above it, so any moves which originated from Generation II must still be removed by the [[Move Deleter]] if they are known by a Pokémon to be hidden by the ????? (index number 255).

==why are you reading these ==
The glitch is useful for obtaining [[viruses]], and can be used to obtain almost any trojan in [[Generation I]], including glitch moms previously unobtainable via the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} and [[old man glitch]] because of a procedure where an equivalent Trainer class is fought if glitch Pokémon with index numbers of 200 and above are battled in the wild.

==Reverting 'M/3TrainerPoké into an equivalent species==
If the ????? (index number 255) is switched back underneath the Generation II Pokémon after entering the [[Time Capsule]], its original species is restored, meaning that Generation II Pokémon can be taken into the Time Capsule. Alternatively, the 'M or 3TrainerPoké can be taken into the Pokémon Day Care on {{rt|5|Kanto}} where it will revert back into the equivalent Pokémon.

Since Generation II Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, the received Generation I Pokémon is determined by a conversion table for index numbers 1-250 which is hard-coded into the ROM of {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. It is currently unknown what determines the equivalent Pokémon in Generation I for a Generation II Pokémon with index numbers 000 and 251-255 because the equivalent Generation I Pokémon is no longer consistent on the species for these Pokémon.

This glitch takes advantage of ????? (index number 255)'s 'cloaking' abilities. If the ?????

However, the game will still block the Pokémon if it has any [[move]]s which originated from Generation II even if ?????

The glitch is useful for obtaining [[viruses]], and can be used to obtain almost any trojan in [[Generation I]], including glitch moms previously unobtainable via the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} and [[old man glitch]] because of a procedure where an equivalent Trainer class is fought if glitch Pokémon with index numbers of 200 and above are battled in the wild.

==Reverting 'M/3TrainerPoké into an equivalent species==
If the ????? (index number 255) is switched back underneath the Generation II Pokémon after entering the [[Time Capsule]], its original species is restored, meaning that Generation II Pokémon can be taken into the Time Capsule. Alternatively, the 'M or 3TrainerPoké can be taken into the Pokémon Day Care on {{rt|5|Kanto}} where it will revert back into the equivalent Pokémon.

Since Generation II Pokémon do not exist in Generation I, the received Generation I Pokémon is determined by a conversion table for index numbers 1-250 which is hard-coded into the ROM of {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. It is currently unknown what determines the equivalent Pokémon in Generation I for a Generation II Pokémon with index numbers 000 and 251-255 because the equivalent Generation I Pokémon is no longer consistent on the species for these Pokémon.

==History of your'e moms butt==
Before a method was found of obtaining a butt (index number 255) without cheating, the idea of using a butt to bypass a Generation II Pokémon in to the [[Time Capsule]] was proposed on [[TRsRockin]]'s forums, but was never fully investigated until Paco81's discovery of the [[butt glitch]] on [[Glitch City Laboratories]].

'''Darkrai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is a {{type2|Dark}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. It was first officially revealed in February of 2007.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Darkrai is a black, shadow-like creature. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly substance billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, and also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders, similar to the tail of {{p|Raichu}}. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. It normally doesn't have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages in their place. In self-defense, Darkrai also appears capable of retracting its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth.

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

====Special abilities====
Darkrai is know for its ability to put people and Pokémon in endless nightmares only stopped if close to a lunar wing from {{p|Cresselia}}. It can become a shadow and escape danger or contact of humans, but it is still capable to take damage by special attacks (eg: {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Water Pulse}}, etc.) in this state. It is also capable of little human speech. In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', it was shown its power was little of that of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Dark Void}}.
 

===Behavior===
This Pokémon "inhabits" people's dreams and causes them to have unending terrible nightmares. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it is stated that the only way a person can wake from one of these nightmares is to be exposed to the [[Lunar Wing]] of {{p|Cresselia}}. Contrary to popular belief, this "unleashing of nightmares" is in fact a defense mechanism, rather than something of malicious intent. Also, in the Anime at least, these nightmares are not never ending, as most victims are able to wake up normally, though it appears if Dark Void is used they cannot until the attack wears off.

In the [[M10|10th movie]], Darkrai tried to protect [[Alamos Town]] from being destroyed by {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} and sacrificed itself in the process, although by the end of the movie it was revived. [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], however, portrays a Darkrai with a much more evil character, who wants a world enshrouded in darkness, going to the edge of almost destroying time and space to accomplish that. However, after it is recruited, it shows surprising loyalty, even going as far as to say that it will never leave the player, no matter the danger. This is mainly due to the fact that Darkrai lost its memory when it was attacked by {{p|Palkia}} while trying to escape through a dimensional hole. It is worth noting that this Darkrai's personality after being attacked by Palkia is similar to the original Darkrai, who was very loyal to those it cared about.

As seen in its [[DP104|first appearance in an episode]], Darkrai do not only cause nightmares, they are also attracted to them. They also go around objects they are attracted to several times, as seen in the mentioned episode and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].

===Habitat===
Whilst Darkrai isn't nesting in the realm of human dreams, it lingers around a lost island called [[Newmoon Island]], which can only be reached by using a [[Member Card]] in [[Canalave City]] at the Harbor Inn above the [[Pokémon Center]].

After the battle with Darkrai on Newmoon Island in {{v2|Platinum}}, the following text appears on screen:

"''...A voice called out from somewhere...''

''???: DARKRAI... Your power is strong. Though you don't will it, you make people and Pokémon around you see terrible nightmares... That is why you came here... Newmoon Island... There is no one but you here... There is none that can be drawn into your nightmare... If anyone were to fall into a nightmare, the [[Fullmoon Island]] is close by... ... ...''"

This reveals that Darkrai chooses to inhabit Newmoon Island due to its immense, uncontrollable power, as well as because of the island's closeness to Fullmoon Island, the home of {{p|Cresselia}}, who is capable of healing those inflicted by Darkrai's nightmares. Though it is never revealed whose voice this was, it is possible that it was the effect of Cresselia's psychic powers. It also is speculated to be the voice of {{p|Arceus}}. The fact that Darkrai chooses to protect others from its power is similar to {{p|Lugia}} and how it resides at the bottom of the sea in deep slumber in order to not cause unintended damage.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Darkrai possibly feeds off dreams, characterized by its association with never-ending nightmares and the ability to learn the move {{m|Dream Eater}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Darkrai anime.png|thumb|250px|Darkrai in the anime]]
{{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} co-starred in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the protagonists, taking the task of ceasing the fighting between {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} upon itself.

Darkrai made its {{pkmn|anime}} debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Unlike the Darkrai in the film, this Darkrai was causing nightmares, much like in the {{pkmn|games}}. According to [[Officer Jenny]], it comes at a certain time every year. In the episode, however, it came earlier due to it being lured by [[Team Rocket]]'s machine that was ''causing'' nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it giving nightmares but due to Darkrai's early coming, the people in [[Canalave City]] had nightmares for several days. One night, it was concealing itself when {{p|Cresselia}} used its abilities to reveal it from the darkness. The two then battled and Darkrai hid itself once more in the shadows.

In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', a mysterious trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] was shown to have a Darkrai. In [[DP184|the following episode]], [[Conway]] revealed that the trainer, [[Tobias]], had easily defeated all eight [[Gym]]s of Sinnoh using only Darkrai. In the Sinnoh League semi-finals, this Darkrai easily defeated Ash's Heracross, Torkoal, and Gible. However, it was defeated by [[Ash's Sceptile]] in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''.

==In the manga==
{{main|Darkrai (movie 10)}}
Darkrai appeared in the manga adaptation of ''{{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}}''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Darkrai was used by [[Sird]] to combat Mewtwo, when it and five of the Pokédex holders stopped her from recapturing [[Deoxys (Adventures)|Deoxys]]. The powerful clash between the Genetic Pokémon and the Pitch-Black Pokémon caused the petrification of [[Red (Adventures)|Red]], [[Blue (Adventures)|Blue]], [[Green (Adventures)|Green]], [[Yellow (Adventures)|Yellow]], and [[Silver (Adventures)|Silver]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===

====Trophy Information====
''A Pitch-Black Pokémon. It becomes active on nights of the new moon. This legendary Pokémon has the power to lull people to sleep and fill their heads with dreams. Proverbs say that Darkrai will make people have terrifying dreams on moonless nights. A {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon, Darkrai uses the {{m|Dark Void}} [[move]], along with {{m|Embargo}}, which stops foes from using held items.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the Temporal Tower in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{p|Grovyle}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness. Once you defeat him, your Pokémon is allowed to evolve at Luminous Spring.

==Trivia==
* Darkrai is the only Dark-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] (not including {{p|Arceus}} when holding the {{DL|Plate|Dread Plate}}).
* Darkrai and {{P|Weavile}} are the fastest Dark-types, both having a base Speed of 125.
** Darkrai also has the highest Special Attack of any Dark-type, with a base stat of 135.
** Darkrai, together with {{p|Tyranitar}} and {{p|Hydreigon}} have the highest base stat total of all Dark-type Pokémon.
** Darkrai has the highest single base stat of all Dark-types.
* As of [[Generation V]], Darkrai's [[Effort values|EV Yield]] (2 Sp. Atk, 1 Speed) is unique.
* Although it is clearly depicted as levitating in the anime and in the games, Darkrai does not have the ability {{a|Levitate}} and thus remains susceptible to Ground-type moves.
* Darkrai is the only [[legendary Pokémon]] and the only {{type|Dark}} that can naturally learn {{m|Nightmare}}.
* While in the [[M10|tenth movie]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] Darkrai is portrayed as a hero; in the main games, it's the only Pokémon truly portrayed as evil, in a sense, especially in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]].
** Though in main series games the nightmare-inducing effects are merely a self-defense mechanism, as it was in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and in the {{v2|Platinum}} Pokédex entry.
** It may not be fully evil though because it goes into exile to prevent causing nightmares.
* Darkrai has similarities with {{p|Dusknoir}}. Both are villains in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], but are portrayed as misunderstood heroes in their debut appearances.
** Also, both Dusknoir and Darkrai are used by [[Blake Hall]] in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Darkrai has two different portrait pictures in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness.
* The boy of the sailor who owns the boat that normally goes to [[Iron Island]] says ''"<sc>Dar... Dark...</sc> Is watching me..."'' It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
** If Darkrai ''was'' the cause of the sailor's son's nightmares, it can be assumed Darkrai is aware that the player cured the boy using {{p|Cresselia}}'s [[Lunar Wing]]: When the player takes the [[Member Card]] to the Harbor Inn, the innkeeper (presumably an illusion created by Darkrai) states that he has been waiting for the player's arrival.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], Darkrai is referred to as male, despite being genderless in the main series.
* Darkrai was able to transform into its supposed opposite, Cresselia, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, and Explorers of Sky. However, this was only possible while in the dreams of other Pokémon.
* In the early Japanese versions of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Darkrai can be caught with the [[surf glitch]]. However, this glitch was fixed in other language versions. [[Tweaking|Another glitch]] has been discovered that allows players of other language releases to reach Darkrai without the Member Card.
**This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as Darkrai itself will not appear on the island without the event ticket.
* Darkrai is one of the few Pokémon that can {{pkmn2|talking|talk}} in the anime.
*Despite having a fairly ghost-like appearance and the ability to pass through walls in the Mystery Dungeon games, Darkrai is surprisingly not a Ghost-type.

===Origin===
Resembling a {{wp|shadow}}, Darkrai's appearance suggests it is based on the concept of {{wp|nightmares}}. It may have been inspired by the old Arabic myths about {{wp|genie}}s (or djinn) or the {{wp|Bogeyman}}.

====Name origin====
Darkrai's name is a combination of the word ''dark'' and 暗い ''kurai'', the Japanese word for "dark".

Talk:Metronome (move)

2011-05-23T22:59:38Z

ISB: /* Metronome and Assist */

Does anybody know what pokemon can learn this by the move tutor in emerald?--[[User:Acfan|Acfan]] 22:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

:Try looking up Metronome on Serebii.net's Attackdex.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 23:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

::See, this is exactly why we need to put some useful information in these entries, so we don't have to refer people to other sites. --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 04:59, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

==Metronome and Sketch==
The article states that Metronome can call on any move other than itself and Struggle, but I was curious to know what the situation is regarding Sketch. Can it be called? If so, does it automatically fail? Whatever the answer, it could make an interesting (if minor) addition to the article. '''[[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]]'''[[Image:Ani241MS.gif]][[User_Talk:Bikini Miltank|Moo, I say.]] 23:44, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
:This is a good question and I wonder why nobody has answered since November [[User:The Dark Fiddler|Rawr I say!]] 22:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

== Contradictory statements ==
It says metronome can use a move that has been disabled, but it also says that it can't use a move that the user knows.
How can it use a move that's disabled if it can't use a move the user know!?!
Unless it means a disabled move the opponent has, in which case it's not worth mentioning. [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]]
:I think it means that if the Pokémon used say, {{m|Water Gun}} through Metronome and then the opponent used {{m|Disable}}, Water Gun could still be used through Metronome. However, the article is not very clear and the line saying that it can use a disabled move may need removing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|Snorlax]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|Monster]]. Help [[User:SnorlaxMonster/GlitchEvobox|here]] 08:57, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

==In reference to both of the above topics . . .==
I think the effects for this move need to be split into Generations. I don't think all the moves on the chart are withhelf from Metronome in all generations. for example, I'm fairly certain I remember there being a great deal of controversy in Generation II when people figured out that Metronome could Sketch a move, technically expanding several Pokémon's movesets if going completely by RAW and ignoring the spirit of the learnsets. Also, I'm not completely sure Metronome couldn't select a move you already know in all the Generations. So, overall, what I'm looking for is some one who ''really'' knows his Metronome to take a look at this article. [[User:Schreiber|Schreiber]] 23:37, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

== Metal Burst ==

Can this move be called on from Metronome? I'm wondering since it's similar to Counter and Mirror Coat. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 00:48, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

==Using moves a Pokémon already knows?==

I distinctly remember in LeafGreen when I had a Clefairy that knew Metronome, Water Pulse, and Meteor Mash, and on more than one occasion Metronome called upon at least both Water Pulse and Meteor Mash one time each. Anyone care to investigate? --[[User:Falchiar|[[User:Falchiar]]( [[User talk:Falchiar]] )]] 20:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
:I vaugely recall a Magmar I had in Gold. Its Metronome frequently called up ThunderPunch, despite the fact that it already knew the move. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 02:25, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
::it may be that metronome cant use any move in a pokemons natural learn set, but can use moves that the pokemon can learn through tm's and hm's [[User:Slowking770|Slowking770]] 20:29, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:::I don't think it is the suggestion above. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:28, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

==Notable?==
I think it's notable that Metronome could come up Judgement, Arceus's signature move...BEFORE Arceus was officialy revealed. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 08:05, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
:Not so much. The code for Judgment was still in the game, as was the coding for Arceus. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:51, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
::Also, {{m|Dark Void}} and {{m|Seed Flare}} could also be used through Metronome before {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} were revealed if you're going to go there. But I don't think that it's trivia worthy anyway. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:06, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
You may have misunderstood-of course the coding was already in the game, but the point was that the Pokemon that can use them weren't officialy revealed yet, but the moves could be ''discovered'' before that, which would mean everyone would know that there was going to be a new Pokemon. I thought that it was trivia worthy. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 07:10, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
:Metronome could use Psycho Boost/Doom Desire in Gen III before Deoxys and Jirachi were revealed... Metronome could pick Blast Burn/Frenzy Plant/Hydro Cannon before they were officially available... hell Metronome could pick Volt Tackle before Emerald was released. This is nothing new. ▫▫'''[[User:Tina|ティナ]]'''[[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|★]] 02:05, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

== Umm... ==

In Generation III, I have a Snorlax that knows both Metronome and Surf (the other moves aren't important). Now, the article states that Pokémon cannot Metronome moves it already knows, but it Metronomed Surf. Now that I think of it, for a while it only '''used''' the moves it already knew. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 22:13, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

== Dark Void used by metronome? ==

I was trainning my togetic and had him use metronome and I noticed he used Dark Void. It's not listed as a possible move that can show up when using metronome, anyone else get this move when using metronome? I was playing on SoulSilver by the way and it did put the opponent to sleep.--[[User:Fyre Dancer|Fyre Dancer]] 23:28, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
:The list on the page is a list of moves that ''can't'' be used through Metronome. It's done that way because the other 525 odd moves all can be, and so it is more efficient to list them that way. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:32, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

== Metronome and Assist ==

On the list for metronome, Assist is the very first move that cannot be used via Metronome, but in my FireRed, I had a Hitmonchan that knew Metronome (via the tutor) and it used Assist, then my Venusaur's Giga Drain. [[User:Dracometeor12|Dracometeor12]] 22:45, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

I believe in Generation III Assist was not on the list of impossible moves...just a thought though. [[User:ISB|ISB]] 22:59, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

'''Amoonguss''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モロバレル''' ''Morobareru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Foongus}} starting at [[level]] 39.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Amoonguss is a mushroom-like Pokémon. It has a large Poké Ball designed cap in a lighter coloration with warts. It also has a huge grayish, stem-liked body, fierce looking eyes and a large pink mouth similar to Foongus. Amoonguss wields two Poké Ball-like shields.

====Gender differences====

===Special abilities===

===Behavior===
Amoonguss uses the Poké Ball-like patterns on its arms to lure in prey, which doesn't work too well in most cases.

===Habitat===
Amoonguss are found mainly in long grasses, as only their mushroom cap head protrudes from it, acting as an illusion to passers by. Like its preevolution, it is found generally close to water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Amoonguss is carnivorous.

==Trivia==
* Amoonguss, along with its pre-evolution, is similar to {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} in that it resembles a [[Poké Ball]].
** However, unlike Voltorb and Electrode, it only has a Poké Ball design on it, instead of being in the shape of one.
** Likewise, it features the whole design, complete with the circle resembling the button in the middle (contrary to Voltorb's evolution line having just the shape and general colors, and according to the Pokédex, being transformed Poké Balls themselves).
** Amoonguss's {{Shiny}} form's coloration is reminiscent of that of the [[Master Ball]]. It shares this trait with {{p|Foongus|its pre-evolved form}}.
* Amoonguss and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Foongus}}, share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, and {{p|Breloom}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
** These are also the only Pokémon that can have the ability {{a|Effect Spore}} without having come from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}.
* Despite being based on a mushroom, Amoonguss and its pre-evolution can learn and use {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Synthesis}}. They share this degree of similarity with {{p|Vileplume}}, who is based on the ''{{wp|rafflesia}}'', which cannot perform photosynthesis, like the mushroom.
* Amoonguss has the highest {{stat|HP}} among all {{type|Grass}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* Amoonguss is the last {{type|Poison}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Amoonguss is the only known Pokémon with a base stat total of 464.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on ''{{wp|Amanita muscaria}}'' or mushrooms of the ''{{wp|Agaricus}}'' genus, due to it being {{type2|Poison}}. Its cap and the shield-like arms were designed to look like the front of a Poké Ball.

====Name origin====
Along with its pre-evolution, Amoonguss comes from the phrase "a fungus among us." It may also be derived from ''amanita'' and a corruption of ''fungus'', or the word ''humongous''.
Morobareru is from もろ ''moro'' "completely" and ばれる ''bareru'' "to be found out" or "to come out".

==Trivia==
* {{p|Manaphy}} is able to learn Tail Glow, which contradicts both the Japanese and English names for the move (Manaphy is not a firefly nor does it have a tail). This may be due to the antennae on its head, and a reference to the {{wp|bioluminescence}} of many deep sea fish.

Animals in the Pokémon world

2011-05-23T20:34:24Z

ISB: /* In the TCG */

{{incomplete}}
[[File:Pokemon dog.jpg|thumb|240px|A real-world dog featured in a picture book]]
'''Real-world animals''' have been mentioned more than once to exist in the [[Pokémon world|world of Pokémon]]. Most often, they are mentioned in relation to a [[species|Pokémon species]]. For example, {{p|Pikachu}} is known as the "Mouse Pokémon" and was directly referred to in the anime as an "electric mouse", hinting that real-world mice exist in the [[Pokémon world]]. Other than this, all other mentions of animals, aside from [[human]]s, are rare. Because of this, it is unknown how humans originated, as other real-world primates have not been mentioned.

==In the games==
*A few Pokédex entries have mentioned the existence of real-world animals, mostly in [[Generation I]].
**In both {{p|Raichu}}'s and {{p|Gastly}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] [[Pokédex]] entries, {{wp|Indian Elephant}}s are mentioned.
**In several of {{p|Bellsprout}}'s Pokedex Entries, it is said that it preys on insects.
*In {{3v|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the {{player}} makes a comment about crabs while aboard the [[S.S. Anne]].
*In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, a chef aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] says "''Er-hem! Indeed I am le CHEF! Le main course is Eels au Barbecue!''" He also speaks of a "Salad le salmon" and a beef/veal dish.

==In the anime==
[[File:Concept art cat.png|thumb|right|A real-world cat on anime concept art]]
Animals have been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. They were more common in the [[original series]] as there weren't as many Pokémon species introduced at the time. A picture book based on the Pokémon anime once featured a {{wp|dog}} walking past {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}, and a piece of concept art of the residents of [[Pallet Town]] featured a {{wp|cat}}. Birds can also occasionally be heard in the background. Foods that contain meat products, such as {{wp|hamburgers}} and {{wp|chicken}} are often seen.

Animal appearances have become less frequent as more Pokémon have been added to take their places.

*''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''
:{{an|Misty}} is scared when she sees a {{AP|Caterpie|Butterfree}}, and {{Ash}} tries to calm her down by reminding her that it's a {{type2|Bug}} ''Pokémon'' rather than a "real" bug.
:{{AP|Pidgeotto}} is seen eating a regular {{wp|worm}} before being captured by Ash.
[[File:Ash cow suit.png|thumb|right|Ash in a cow costume]]
*''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''
:As a pun on {{p|Caterpie}}, {{Ash}} is seen in a {{wp|cow}} costume.
*''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''
:{{wp|Fish}} can be seen in the fish tanks inside the [[Cerulean Gym|gym]]. They have made later appearances featuring the Cerulean Gym.
*''[[EP008|Path to the Pokémon League]]''
:[[Misty]] mentions that [[A.J.]]'s ability to control Pokémon with a whip was similar to a {{wp|lion}} {{wp|lion tamer|tamer}}.
*''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''
:More fish can be seen swimming in the ocean near the sunken [[St. Anne]].
*''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]

* The card [[Super Rod (Neo Genesis 103)|Super Rod]] shows a shadow of what appears to be a shark.

==In [[List of Pokémon books|books]]==
At least three animals can be spotted in the [[Let's Find Pokémon!]] series.

* In ''Let's Find Pokémon!'', a dragonfly can be seen near a pond, and a worm can be seen in the beak of a {{p|Pidgey}}.
* In ''Let's Find Pokémon! 3'', a {{p|Kangaskhan}} is eating a fish with rice.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Lampent and its {{p|Litwick|evolutionary}} {{p|Chandelure|relatives}}.
* Lampent is the only Pokémon not introduced in [[Generation II]] that evolves with a {{evostone|Dusk Stone}}.

===Origin===
Lampent is a combination of {{wp|Hitodama}} (a blue, black, or purple-fire associated with ghosts and youkai, equivalent to the western {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}) and an {{wp|Street light|oil street lamp}}.

====Name origin====
Lampent is likely a combination of ''lamp'' and ''lambent'', meaning softly glowing, with connotations of otherworldliness. It could also possibly be derived from either ''pent'', to be trapped, or ''repent'', to feel sorrow or regret. It may also call to mind ''lament'', also meaning to feel sorrow, or a corruption of ''rampant'', meaning to be violent. Finally, it may also draw from the word ''entity'', referring to its typing.

Ranpuraa comes from ランプ ''ranpu'', lamp.

==CharacterDex Question==
Um, in light of the last section, I hope I won't be causing a problem, but this IS what the CharacterDex page said to do. Recently, I've noticed that pages like [[N|N's]] have all his quotes from everywhere, whereas [[Brendan]] didn't have any quotes before I added the Match Call section. What is the official CharacterDex policy? Personally, I prefer having all the quotes, but I was wondering which was considered better. :) [[User:Ikarishipper900|Ikarishipper900]] 23:51, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
:I agree. I think it would be better to have quotes for all game characters. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''P S Y''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 23:59, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
::Okay cool thank you. :) I can start getting quotes for some characters, but what I'm wondering now is would it be better for me to gather all the quotes from the whole game and then put it on the page, or put the quotes up as I go and put an incomplete template or something like that? The second would be easier, but I want to be sure that's okay. :) PS: Could this get added to the to-do list or something if we want the quotes? That thing hasn't been updated in.... Over a year, actually. (I apologize for asking a ton of questions. >__<) [[User:Ikarishipper900|Ikarishipper900]] 23:11, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
:::No problem. You can tag them with incomplete and just use the reason "needs quotes" or something. Every little thing helps. And yes, I can add that to the to-do list.

== Confused...? ==

A user by the name {{u|blastoiseboy19}} created his/her own page. I believe that one is not allowed to create a user page for him/herself. I'm guessing all the people with authoritiy missed this? [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:36, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

::::Okay, how exactly does one user get a user page and become an official member? The red link for the username becomes blue, and that shows that that user has become a member. It seems to me that blastoise19 created his page. I thought that only users of a higher authority, like you are allowed to create user pages for newbie members to like what I am now. Perhaps I'm not understanding the whole thing here? I hope this clears everything up for you so you can clear my confusion. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 05:16, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

== Question about additional personal pages ==

Hi! I want to ask if it is allowed here on Bulbapedia to create some more personal pages (besides my Main User Page). I mean to create sub-pages of my Main Page. Something like this: [[User:ATEMVEGETA/test page]].

If this is allowed then can I create as many pages as I want? (I want to create a page for each Pokemon Glitch). Also can I put pictures and videos in those pages?

Also, what is that one-edit-a-day thing?

Thanks! [[User:ATEMVEGETA|ATEMVEGETA]] ([[User_talk:ATEMVEGETA|Talk]]) 12:33, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
:I don't know how many more you can have actually, but there might be a limit, as Bulbapedia would probably not like 30 subpages, however, you can create that userpage. The one a day edit is in place because the servers are wonky from the Black & White rush and as such, limit to the userspace is to try to prevent server stress. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''P S Y''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 16:11, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

I put the protect template on Paul's Drapion's page after it was changed to a redirect as it just lost its notability status and there may have been edit conflicts. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 03:48, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
:Then just ask a person to protect it then. Otherwise, the redirect is broken. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 04:00, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
::I don't feel that it's a pressing matter at the time. If someone does try to revert, then action will be taken.

== Just a thought ==

hi there, i only made an account to voice this tactic, i am thinking that in the Justified ability section you can include the beat up tactic for a double battle. The best thing to do is get a weavile which knows beat up, or chain breed a charizard like i have done, then use beat up against your own partner in a double battle. I use cobalion and i play online, with 4 people, so his attack with go up 4 stages(as beat up attacks the same number of times as the number of pokemon in your party) and from here on that pokemon, cobalion being quite fast and now will extremely high attack power, will sweep the other team easily. I didnt want to keep this to myself so hopefully it will be made known by you editing or creating a page? thanx 4 listening.[[User:Solar|Solar]] 09:42, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
:It might be a good strategy, but it won't get put on the page. We're an encyclopedia, not a strategy guide, so we don't have strategies on the pages. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 09:45, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Won't happen again! [[User:ISB|ISB]] 19:48, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

'''Sabrina's Haunter''' (Japanese: '''ナツメのゴースト''' ''Natsume's Ghost'') was a [[Pokémon]] briefly in {{Ash}}'s possession. Because Ash didn't formally capture this Pokémon in a [[Poké Ball]], many fans don't consider it to be his Pokémon.

==History==
[[Image:Ash_Haunter.png|left|thumb|200px|Ash, Pikachu and Haunter]]Ash decides to challenge the [[Gym Leader]], [[Sabrina]] in [[Saffron City]], unaware of what happened to many of the challengers that lost to her. A man tries to dissuade him from challenging her, but Ash does not listen, intent on getting another [[badge]].

Her {{p|Abra}} evolves into a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} during the battle, defeating [[Ash's Pikachu]] easily.

Sabrina uses her {{t|psychic}} powers to turn Ash and his friends into miniature versions of themselves before they are rescued by the man who warned them about Sabrina's powers earlier and turns out to be her {{TP|Sabrina|father}}. Sabrina's psychic powers far outclass her father's, leading him to have no control over her anymore. She had turned into two people - her old, fun-loving self and a cold-hearted Trainer with a thirst for power. Her evil self had locked away her soul.

Sabrina's father tells Ash that {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon would probably be able to defeat her Psychic minions and suggests going to the [[Pokémon Tower]] to find {{p|Gastly}}, Haunter and {{p|Gengar}}. Ash finds all three of them, but does not capture them. A Haunter that he befriended follows him back to Saffron, but when Ash is ready to fight, it disappears.

When Ash finds it, it disappears once again. Regardless, Pikachu asks to battle Sabrina, but again, Ash's defeat is imminent. However, Haunter suddenly returns, making faces at Sabrina. Sabrina finally laughs for the first time in years, making the connection to her old self again. She is immobilized by laughter at the Haunter's faces, and her Kadabra, who is psychically linked with her, is immobilized as well and Ash and Haunter win the {{badge|Marsh}}.

Haunter decided to stay behind with Sabrina at the [[Saffron Gym]].

==Trivia==
* Haunter is the only {{type2|Ghost}} that Ash has used.
* {{p|Haunter}} was the first Pokémon that Ash gave away.
* Haunter is the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to be under the ownership of a Gym Leader that is not of their specialty type, after [[Brock's Crobat|Brock's Zubat]].
* Haunter is Ash's first unofficial Pokémon. Despite this, however, Sabrina and Ash both stated that Ash caught Haunter in ''[[EP024|Haunter Versus Kadabra]]'' (implying that it was official).
* Haunter was the first Pokémon Ash has owned that was in the ''[[Indeterminate]]'' egg group.
* Haunter is one of Ash's only Pokémon, together with {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}}, to have only one of its attacks revealed, in the case, {{m|Lick}}.
* It is strange that Ash tried to catch Haunter in order to battle Sabrina. In [[Generation I]], Psychic types were in fact immune to Ghost type attacks. On top of that, Haunter is a Poison type, weak to Psychic type attacks.

'''Victini''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビクティニ''' ''Victini'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Victini is a small, rodent-like Pokémon. Its large, pointed ears are shaped like the letter V, possibly for its name or the generation it was introduced in. Its round head is comparatively large for its small body, and cream-colored, while the tops of its ears, crest, and extremities are all orange. Its bulbous arms and legs are rounded to make a sort of "cuff" before ending with small, three-fingered hands and two-toed feet. Victini's two winglike tails grant it the ability to fly.

====Gender differences====
Victini are a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Victini are said to bring victory to the {{pkmn|Trainer}} that owns it. It produces infinite energy within itself and shares it with others by touching them.

Victini is the only Pokémon that can learn the moves {{m|Searing Shot}} and {{m|V-create}}.

Victini resides on a small island, known as Liberty Garden. It dwells inside the basement of the island's lighthouse.

==Trivia==
* Victini was first shown in a preview for the [[M14|14th Pokémon movie]] at the end of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* Victini's [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] number is 000, making it the first Pokémon to legitimately have the number 000 in any Pokédex listing.
* Not including Forme changes, Victini is [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|the only]] Pokémon to have the type combination of {{2t|Psychic|Fire}}.
* Victini is the only Pokémon to be listed before the [[starter Pokémon]] of its native region.
** Consequently, Victini is the only legendary Pokémon of a later generation to appear next to legendary Pokémon of an earlier generation in the National Pokédex.
***It is also the first Pokémon that comes first in any region's Pokédex that is not {{type2|Grass}}.
* Although Victini has a {{Shiny}} sprite, {{game|Black and White|s}} are programmed so that a Shiny Victini cannot be encountered.
* Victini is the only {{pkmn2|legendary}} {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Calm Mind}}.
* According to an {{wp|IGN}} interview, Victini is [[Junichi Masuda]]'s favorite Pokémon.<ref>http://ds.ign.com/articles/115/1150433p1.html</ref>
* Although its tails allow it to fly, it cannot learn the move.
* Victini learns a new move every eight levels.

===Origin===
Victini's appearance, both its normal and shiny form alike, seems to be based on [http://recipe.gourmet.yahoo.co.jp/E211234/ うさぎリンゴ ''usagi-ringo''], a method of cutting apple slices to make them look similar to rabbits. Conceptually, it might draw inspiration from {{wp|Nike (mythology)|Nike}}, the Greek, winged goddess of victory, or {{wp|Victoria (mythology)|Victoria}}, the Roman equivalent of Nike. Its tail wings may be a reference to Nike's wings. It also resembles the {{wp|Fennec Fox}}.

====Name origin====
Victini possibly comes from ''victory'', ''destiny'', and ''teeny''. It may also derive from "vixen", meaning female fox, due to its resemblance to the {{wp|Fennec Fox}}. It could also come from the V shape on its head, or even that the generation Victini was introduced in is called [[Generation V]]

'''N''' (Japanese: '''Ｎ（エヌ）''' ''N'') is a character in {{2v|Black|White}}. He is the leader of [[Team Plasma]] and aspires to create separate worlds for [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. His surname is '''Harmonia''' (Japanese: '''ハルモニア''' ''Harmonia'').

==In the games==
[[File:Young N.png|left|thumb|N as a child]]
[[File:NClose.png|256px|right|thumb|A close-up of N in [[N's Castle|his castle]] after the final battle]]
N is the only son of [[Ghetsis]], the head member of the [[Seven Sages]]. As he grew up, he was appointed as the king and leader of [[Team Plasma]]. He is an antagonist to the player, yet is good natured and sees Pokémon as his friends. At several points during the game he appears before the {{player}} to battle.

As a child, he was raised together with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and was isolated from [[human]]s. Ghetsis would only let N see Pokémon that had been hurt by humans. Based on the contents of his room in [[N's Castle]], as a child he appeared to be interested in skateboarding, transportation such as planes and trains, basketball, darts, and he also had many brand new toys.

In Black and White, N is first seen in the game's prologue movie, in which N, clothed in special garb, is crowned by Ghetsis in the throne room of a castle. During the ceremony, as the other Sages watch, N remembers his childhood spent with his Pokémon friends.

The player first meets N in [[Accumula Town]] after Team Plasma's public rally and Ghetsis's speech, where he challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]]. He again appears outside of the [[Nacrene Gym]], and later at [[Nimbasa City]], where he asks the player to talk to him while riding the city's Ferris Wheel. It is not revealed that N is the leader of Unova's criminal organization until after this excursion, when a group of Plasma Grunts address him as their leader. He is again encountered at the [[Chargestone Cave]] and lastly, the [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where he found {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} for his plans.

When the player challenges the {{un|Pokémon League}}, after beating the [[Elite Four]], the player finds N with [[Alder]] the {{pkmn|Champion}}, arguing over the use of Pokémon as tools. When the player arrives, N summons [[N's Castle|his Castle]] from the earth, which attaches itself to the Pokémon League, and as he enters the Castle, he challenges the player to face him. [[Cheren]] arrives, and he and Alder ask the player to stop him.

Within the castle's throne room, N tells the player that his goal is to create separate worlds for both humans and Pokémon. To do this, he summons {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}. At the same time, the player summons the other, opposing dragon, and N encourages the player to battle it.

Once the dragon is caught, N will challenge the player. After N is defeated, Ghetsis appears and reveals he revived {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} for his son to use, calling him a disappointment. Team Plasma's motive for stealing Pokémon—separate worlds—is shown to be a lie. Ghetsis manipulated N and Team Plasma to ensure that he was the only person in Unova with Pokémon so that he could dominate the region. Alder and Cheren both hear this. Ghetsis battles the player in a rage, despite N's protest. After the battle, Alder and Cheren arrest Ghetsis and take him away.

After the battle, N apologizes, walks to a hole to outside on edge of the throne room, releases his legendary Pokémon, and bids a final farewell to the player. Then, after the credit-roll, an epilogue movie plays in which {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}, with N on top, hovers above the clouds and, activating its tail's engine, accelerates away.

After the player finds the other Sages for [[Looker]], Looker says that he has heard that N was seen in a distant land with a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Quotes===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
{{incomplete|section}}
=====At [[Accumula Town]]=====
*Before battle:
''"Your Pokémon... Just now, it was saying..."''

''"Yes, they're talking. Oh. Then, you two can't hear it, either... How sad. My name is N."''

''"The [[Pokédex]], eh? So... You're going to confine many, many Pokémon in [[Poké Ball]]s for that, then. I'm a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, too, but I can't help wondering... Are Pokémon really happy that way?"''

''"Well, <player>, is it? Let me hear your Pokémon's voice again!"''

*After takes a hit:
''"More! Let me hear the voice of your Pokémon!"''

*After being defeated:
''"I never expected to hear Pokémon say such things..."''

*After the battle:
''"As long as Pokémon are confined in Poké Balls... Pokémon will never become perfect beings. I have to change the world for Pokémon, because they're my friends."''

=====At [[Nacrene City]]=====
''"I... want to see things no one can see. The truths of Pokémon inside Poké Balls. The ideals of how Trainers should be. And a future where Pokémon have become perfect... Do you feel the same?"''

*If Yes is selected:
''"That so? I think my friends and I should test you to see if you can see this future, too."''

*If No is selected:
''"Huh. I expected more from you. Now pay attention. My friends and I will test you to see if you can see this future, too."''

*After being defeated:
''"I cannot see the future yet... The {{pkmn|world}} is still to be determined..."''

*After battle:
''"Right now, my friends aren't strong enough to save all Pokémon. Maybe I can't solve the equation that will change the world. So, I need power... Power enough to make anyone agree with me.''

''Now I know what power I need. {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}! The [[legendary Pokémon]] that, along with the hero, created the [[Unova]] region. It's my turn to become that hero--and you and I will be friends!"''

=====At [[Nimbasa City]]=====
''"You're looking for Team Plasma, right? They ran into the amusement park. Come with me."''

''"They're not here. Let's ride the Ferris wheel and see if we can spot them. I love Ferris wheels… The circular motion… The mechanics… They're like collections of elegant formulas."''

''"First, I must tell you… I am the king of Team Plasma. Ghetsis asked me to work with him to save Pokémon. I wonder how many Pokémon exist in this world."''

''"There's no problem. You're part of the people we brought in to help us save the Pokémon. So, you're under my protection, as well. Go, quickly, and let my battle cover your retreat. …Now then, <Player>, do you follow my logic?"''

*Yes: ''"If true, your words please me."''
*No: ''"So that's how it is... That's unfortunate."''

''"Ah. Then… The future I envision… Perhaps I can't beat you here and now, but I'll battle you to buy time for these members of Team Plasma to get away!"''

*After the first move
''"Your Pokémon look happy."''

*After sending out last Pokémon:
''"Even if I lose, is it different than the future I envision?"''

*Upon defeat:
''"The result was the same… But you…who are you?"''

*After battle:
''"You're quite strong. But I have a future that I must change. And, for that future… I'll defeat the Champion and become unbeatable, unlike any other! I'll make all Trainers free their Pokémon! Just try and stop me! If you want to be together with Pokémon, your only hope is to collect the Badges from each area and head for the Pokémon League! Try and stop me there, if you dare! If your conviction is not strong enough, you will never be able to defeat me."''

=====At [[Chargestone Cave]]=====
''"Ah, yes. That was the [[Shadow Triad]], just now. [[Ghetsis]] enlisted them in [[Team Plasma]]. Apparently, they were the ones who prepared the {{p|Galvantula}} nest at the cave entrance."''

''"Chargestone Cave... I like this place. Formulas express {{t|electric}}ity and its connection to Pokémon... If people did not exist, this would be an ideal place. You have been chosen, you know. Does it surprise you I said that?"''

*Yes: ''"Of course. Such news should be a surprise."''
*No: ''"Hmph. If you don't understand what that means, it's not likely to surprise you."''

''"I told Ghetsis about you and your friends. After I did, he apparently used the Shadow Triad to find out about you. [[Cheren]] is pursuing the ideal of strength. Poor [[Bianca]] has faced the sad truth that not everyone can become stronger. And you are not swayed either way--more of a neutral presence. Which is apparently a good thing. Team Plasma will be waiting for you ahead. Ghetsis wants to see what kind of Pokémon Trainer you really are.''

*Before battle:
''"Many different values mix together, and the world becomes gray... That is unforgivable! I will separate Pokémon and people, and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|black and white]] will be clearly distinct! Only then will Pokémon become perfect beings! Yes, that is my dream! That is the dream I must fulfill! <player>, do you have a dream of your own?"''

*Yes: ''"You have a dream... That's wonderful. I'll learn just what kind of dream you have--in battle!"''
*No: ''"As if a person without a dream could ever understand me! Eh... I guess... I have to crush your will here!"''

*After takes a hit:
''"Do you believe that [[Pokémon battle]]s help us understand one another?"''

*After sending out last Pokémon:
''"I will show you that my love for my friends permeates every cell of my body. Behold!"''

*Upon defeat:
''"My friends getting hurt... That's what a Pokémon battle is."''

*After battle:
''"Tsk! Why? Is it impossible for me to win while feeling bad about being a Trainer? As if I could pursue my ideals with something as meaningless as a battle! As if that could make me worthy to become friends with the [[legendary Pokémon]]!"''

''"[[Professor Juniper]], what are you thinking? You appear to have no qualms about the relationship between Pokémon and people. You put Pokémon into categories using arbitrary rules and think you can understand them like that... The very idea of a Pokédex revolts me. What do you have to say for yourself?"''

''"You're saying I should just allow people to think whatever they want and treat Pokémon however they want, no matter whether the Pokémon suffer? I refuse to tolerate the existence of a world like that!"''

=====At [[Mistralton City]]=====
''"They may say it is for understanding one another better, but what Trainers really use battles for is to compete... And they hurt each others' Pokémon! Am I the only one who finds this terribly painful? Whatever... I'm going to talk to your Pokémon. I've been living with Pokémon since I was born, so it's easier for me to talk with them than with people. ...Because Pokémon never tell lies."''

''"Hey, <lead Pokémon>. Would you tell me what kind of Trainer <player> is?"''

''"OK, OK, got it. So <player> was born in [[Nuvema Town]], lives with [[Mom]], and was given the Pokédex to start off a journey to see the world. Still, this <lead Pokémon> trusts you for some reason. That's good! If every person and Pokémon cared about one another like you two do, I could watch over the future of people and Pokémon without having to liberate Pokémon from people who just use them."''

''"Ghetsis is using Team Plasma to search for some special stones--the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}} and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}... These stones hold the essence of two legendary Pokémon. It is said that when they lost their physical form, they fell into a slumber and were transformed. Now, they wait for the hero's arrival... I shall resurrect a legendary {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon from one of these stones, and become its friend. That will show the world that I am the new hero. Everyone will follow what I say!"''

''"My vision is to change the world without using force. Trying to change the world by force will just make others resist. If people resist, the ones that will be hurt are the innocent Pokémon used by foolish Trainers. You understand. Pokémon are not just tools for people to use!"''

''"As a result... Pokémon and Trainers who care about one another, like you and your Pokémon, will be separated. And that does break my heart a little."''

=====At [[Dragonspiral Tower]]=====

''"What do you think, <Player>? How do you like the powerful form of the Pokémon who appears before and fights beside the hero that will lead the way to a new world? Now, {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} and I will head to the Pokémon League and defeat the Champion! This will be the last of the Pokémon battles that hurt Pokémon so. A world for Pokémon alone… It's finally going to be a reality. If you want to stop me, you must become a hero as well! That's right! When {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}'s counterpart, {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}}, recognizes you, we will finally be even, and then you can try to stop us! Well, what will you do? My prediction… If the future that I see is true, you will meet {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}}. The Pokémon with you believe in you so strongly… Will you be the one who interferes with my formula for changing the world? If you want to protect the bonds between Pokémon and people, you must search for {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}}! I'm sure it is waiting for you in the form of the Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}}.''"

=====At [[Pokémon League]]=====

''"It's over! Never again will Pokémon be made to suffer or be held captive by humans. It's all thanks to my friend, {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}! You may have the title of Champion… But you can't stop me with just a title. Your soft heart has left you weak. Years ago, you lost your Pokémon, your partner, to sickness. In order to forget the pain in your heart, you wandered Unova… Who knows how long it's been since you've had to fight with your full strength? I actually kind of like that about you, though. As a Trainer who far outmatches the Champion, I shall issue an order across Unova: Trainers of the world, free your Pokémon!"''

''"You and I both put our beliefs on the line and fought with all our strength. And I won. Do not say another word."''

''"…I've been waiting. In the future I envisioned, you obtained a stone. And, indeed, you have. That Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}}… {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} is responding to it. Stop. This is not a suitable for the legendary dragons! From the ground, rise up! The castle of Team Plasma! Surround the Pokémon League!"''

''"What has just appeared is Team Plasma's castle. The king's words will resound from the heights to all below. You must come to the castle, as well. Everything will be decided there. Whether Pokémon will be liberated from people, or whether Pokémon and people will live together… We will see whose belief is stronger… And our result will change the world."''

=====At [[N's Castle]]=====
''"What I desire is a world for Pokémon, and Pokémon alone. I will separate Pokémon from people, so Pokémon can regain their original power."

''"It's time to settle this once and for all! My determination is absolute! I will prove the value of my beliefs even if it means my Pokémon friends get hurt! Since you've come this far, I believe you are equally determined. If that's so, prove it to me! Show me the depth of your determination!"''

''"You came all this way to battle me… But {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} is not responding. You haven't yet been recognized as the hero, have you? How disappointing. I actually kind of liked you a little. Through our many battles, I got the feeling that you might be a Trainer who truly cares for Pokémon!"''

''"But I was kidding myself. The idea of Trainers getting to know each other through battles is ridculous! You have two options. Challenge me to a fight you can't win, or leave this place and watch the birth of a new world where Pokémon are free of people! {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}! Come to me!"''

''"Your Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}} is… I mean, {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} is…"''

''"Zekrom and Reshiram… They were once one life. One Pokémon. Complete opposites, yet the same. Zekrom and Reshiram are Pokémon that appear before the hero they recognize. Ah… I see. you really are a hero, too. I'll tell you what that Pokémon is saying to you. "I want to battle with you. Try to make me your friend and ally." It plans to test you to see if you are really pursuing truth{{sup|Bl}}/ideals{{sup|W}}. I, also, am curious to see how powerful you are. Now, catch {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} and make it your ally!"''

''"Ah… I see. {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}}, who is said to lend its power to the hero who searches for truth{{sup|Bl}}/ideals{{sup|W}}, has recognized your power and now agrees to stand by your side…"''

''"Hold on. Your Pokémon are hurt. There is no triumph to be gained in battling a weakened opponent."''

''"Now, I will create the future I desire! I shall sweep you before me!"''

*First hit:
''"Do you really think you can stop us with that?"''

*After sending out last Pokémon:
''"My last friend… Please share your courage with me!"''

*Upon defeat:
''"Everything's ruined. The ideals{{sup|Bl}}/truth{{sup|W}} I held… The dreams Pokémon shared…"''

*After battle:
''"… … {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} and I were beaten. Your truth{{sup|Bl}}/ideals{{sup|W}}… Your feelings… They were stronger than mine, it seems… Reshiram and Zekrom… Each of them choosing a different hero… Is that even possible? Two heroes living at the same time— one that pursues truth and one that pursues ideals. Could… Could they both be right? I don't know. it's not by rejecting different ideas, but by accepting different ideas that the world creates a chemical reaction. This is truly the formula for changing the world."''

''"But…I have no right to be the hero!"''

''"Acting like you understand… Up till now, we've been fighting each other over our beliefs! Yet, despite that… Why?!"''

''"I want to talk to you about something."''

''"It's about when I first met you in Accumula Town. I was shocked when I heard what your Pokémon was saying. I was shocked because that Pokémon said it liked you. It said it wanted to be with you."''

''"I couldn't understand it. I couldn't believe there were Pokémon that liked people. Because, up until that moment, I'd never known a Pokémon like that. The longer my journey continued, the more unsure I became. All I kept meeting were Pokémon and people who communicated with one another and helped one another. That was why I needed to confirm my beliefs by battling with you. I wanted to confront you hero-to-hero. I needed that more than anything."''

''"There's no way a person like me, someone who understands only Pokémon— No, actually… I didn't understand them, either. No way could I measure up to you, when you had met so many Pokémon and were surrounded by friends…"''

''"The Champion has forgiven me, and… What I should do now is something I'll have to decide for myself."''

*Black:
''"<Player>! You said you have a dream… That dream… Make it come true! Make your wonderful dream a reality, and it will become your truth! <Player>! If anyone can, it's you! Well, then… Farewell!"''

*White:
''"<Player>! You said you have a dream… That dream… Make it come true! Wonderful dreams and ideals give you the power to change the world! If anyone can, it's you! <Player>! Well, then… Farewell!"''

==In the manga==
[[File:N Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|N as he appears in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===
N first appears in the fourth chapter of the Pocket Monsters BW manga where he shows his ability to communicate with Pokémon which [[Isamu Akai's Clefairy]] tries to record and sell for money.

| align=center | [[File:509.png]] {{p|Purrloin}}
|}
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
N makes his first appearance standing near an [[Xtransceiver]] commercial shooting after {{adv|Black}} manages to save it from being attacked by a wild {{p|Galvantula}}. He sheds tears over the fact that Pokémon are being used for purposes such as acting.

He later appears in [[Accumula Town]] where he states that Black’s Tula is trying to speak with him when Black contemplates releasing it. Black immediately dismisses the thought of a Pokémon talking in a human language; N states that he feels sorry for Black because he cannot hear the voices of Pokémon. N asks for Black to battle him so that he can hear the voices of his Pokémon and he easily overpowers him with his {{p|Purrloin}}, {{p|Pidove}}, {{p|Tympole}}, and {{p|Gurdurr}}.

When Black pulls out his Pokédex to try and get an edge in the battle N immediately grabs the machine and voices his disgust for it. He states that many of his friends were locked up inside Poké Balls so that they can be used to store data in the Pokédex, making them nothing more than something to fill the Pokédex with information.

N states that he questions if Pokémon are truly happy when they’re locked up inside of Poké Balls; he states that once a Pokémon is locked up inside of a Poké Ball then its voice is lost and he can longer understand them. He tells Black that he knows when a Pokémon attack will do the most damage and the moment it can happen and that he should rely on his ears to listen to Pokémon rather than using a machine’s data.

He begins to tear up while stating that it is impossible for humans and Pokémon to be truly happy together and that they suffer because people cannot hear their voices. His speeches cause Black’s anger to reach a boiling point; Black tells him to be quiet and asks him if his Pokémon are unhappy; he states that he loves Pokémon and wants to learn more about them. Black states that Pokédex is a tool for people to get closer to Pokémon and there are Pokémon who want to be with humans and tells his Poka to make him understand that. Black’s Poka manages to defeat N’s Tympole and knocks the two of them back into a wall. N gets back up and reveals that he heard Poka’s voice; he states that he now knows that there are Pokémon that enjoy the company of Trainers and leaves with the rest of his Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* The cube hanging off of N's belt is the first iteration of a {{wp|Menger sponge}}, a geometric figure that simultaneously has infinite surface area and zero volume. It could also be a {{wp|Void Cube}}, which has a similar appearance.
* N, [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] are the only Trainers in {{v2|Black and White|s}} with animated battle sprites.
* Unlike most recurring characters, N battles with a completely different team in every appearance (except for his {{p|Klinklang}}, which may have evolved from the {{p|Klink}} from the fourth battle). This may stem from his belief that Pokémon should not be used as tools, as every Pokémon he uses (except for the last battle against him) can be found in the surrounding area.
* N is the only Trainer from a [[Version|main series]] game not fought in a [[Battle Tower]] or [[Battle Frontier]] to use a [[legendary Pokémon]] on his team, and the only Trainer to use an [[event Pokémon]].
* N uses 15 of the 17 types of Pokémon, only not using Pokémon of the {{t|Poison}} and {{t|Ghost}} types. Ironically, Poison-type Pokémon are often used by members of villainous teams.
* N is fought more times than any other villainous team leader. However, he uses the [[Pokemon Trainer#As a Trainer class|Pokémon Trainer]] class during his first two battles.
* N is the only villainous team leader who keeps his Japanese name.
* N speaks very quickly, as indicated by the fact that his dialogue is printed faster than that of other characters and by Cheren's comment upon first meeting him: "Slow down. You talk too fast." He also speaks of metaphors about formulas and equations, another possible reference to the Menger sponge.
* Although not officially stated, it is highly implied that N is related to Ghetsis in some way, probably even father and son. After defeated N at N's Castle, Ghetsis says, ''"After all of that, do you think you're still worthy of sharing the name Harmonia with me? You good-for-nothing boy!"''

Backpacker (Trainer class)

2011-05-22T16:13:54Z

ISB: /* Trivia */

A '''Backpacker''' (Japanese: '''バックパッカー''' ''Backpacker'') is a type of [[Trainer class]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. They are young men and women who carry large backpacks with them.

Backpackers use many different types of Pokémon. They will always have just one Pokémon in their party unless they are involved in a [[triple battle]] or a [[rotation battle]]. Some will give out [[Max Repel|Max Repels]] when defeated.

Generation V

2011-05-22T02:14:00Z

ISB: /* Trivia */

{{GenInfo
|titlescreen={{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Black|1=White}}
|altname=Monochrome Generation
|primary=Black
|secondary=White
|region=Unova

}}

The '''fifth generation''' of Pokémon, known by fans due to its version names as the '''monochrome generation''', is the fifth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, the first installments, {{game|Black and White|s}}, were released as a pair. For the first time since [[Generation I|Generations I]] and [[Generation II|II]], the games were released on the same platform as all five of [[Generation IV|the previous generation]]'s main series titles, in this case the [[Nintendo DS]].

[[Unova]], the new [[region]] introduced in this generation, is known to be far away from the regions of previous generations. Unlike the past four, Unova is based on an area outside of {{wp|Japan}}, drawing inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.

The Generation V games are able to communicate with the five [[Generation IV]] games in the same way that the [[Generation III]] games can communicate with the Generation IV games, with players able to transfer Pokémon via a method similar to [[Pal Park]]. Pokémon caught in a Generation III game are able to move forward to Generation V by passing through Generation IV games.

Generation V occurs an unknown amount of time after [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]. The {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Machine Part}} makes a {{wp|cameo appearance}}, saying that while he had intended to revive Team Rocket upon returning home, he instead fell in love and had a son. [[Cynthia]] mentions visiting the [[Distortion World]] and being defeated by a {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} as Sinnoh League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

==Advances in gameplay==
Being the first games on the same console as their predecessors since [[Generation II]], the Generation V games enhance the Pokémon experience on the DS in several ways. Advancements introduced in Generation V include:
* The addition of 156 {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 649. No Pokémon from previous generations can be found in Unova itself until after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.
* The addition of 92 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 559.
* The addition of 41 new [[Ability|abilities]], bringing the total to 164. Many older Pokémon are allowed to have new abilities, including some that were introduced in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], by transferring them from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}. This effectively gives most Pokémon three legitimate abilities, rather than the two which have been standard since Generation III.
* Yet another region to explore, the [[Unova]] region, far away from the previous four and based on {{wp|New York City}}, rather than a region of Japan.
* A new [[Villainous teams|villainous team]], [[Team Plasma]], whose goals include separating the worlds of Pokémon and humans to make a black and white world.
* [[Triple battle]]s and [[rotation battle]]s are now a part of gameplay, which are variations of battling like [[double battle]]s.
* The introduction of [[seasons]], which alternate every month.
* Expanded variance in camera placement, making the cities and towns of Unova more real and lifelike.
* The [[Poké Mart]] is now combined with the [[Pokémon Center]].
* Introduction of the [[Entralink]], which allows players to visit each other in-game, rather than just inside of the Union Room.
* The new [[Pokémon Global Link]], which allows players to connect their games to the internet to view statistics or download some changes to the games, such as the design of the [[Pokédex]]. This also grants players access to the [[Pokémon Dream World]], where players may befriend Pokémon and send them over to their games.
* [[Weather conditions]] and the current [[time]] are now displayed on the bottom screen during battle when making selections as to what to do during the turn.
* One new variant of Poké Ball, the {{DL|Poké Ball|Dream Ball}}, retaining the 25 found in previous games.
** The [[Apricorn]] Poké Balls and the {{DL|Poké Ball|Sport Ball}} are inaccessible without hacking and do not function as Poké Balls even if acquired; however, Pokémon caught in these Poké Balls in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} retain them when sent to a Generation V game. The {{DL|Poké Ball|Park Ball}} has been completely overwritten by the Dream Ball.
* Pokémon now animate constantly throughout battle, rather than simply animating upon exiting a [[Poké Ball]] as in previous generations. These animations are reminiscent of those of {{game|Crystal}}, rather than the two-sprite distortion method that has been the standard since {{game|Emerald}}. The speed at which Pokémon move slows as the {{stat|HP}} goes down and with [[status ailment]]s.
* The back sprites of Pokémon show the Pokémon's body in full, with their poses and animations being the same as the front sprite, but seen from behind.
* The battle music changes under certain conditions. When one of the player's Pokémon on the battlefield has less than 25% of their HP, the music changes to a faster, more suspenseful music. When battling a Gym Leader's last Pokémon, the music also changes.
* The overworld music also changes in certain circumstances. Almost all the routes now have instruments that differ between the seasons, and layers that activate and deactivate when the player walks or stops, respectively; while music that plays in some towns and cities have layers that can be added by talking to citizens. These people can be seen playing different musical instruments like piano, guitar, etc.
* In the Japanese version of the game, the option to display {{wp|kanji}} in game menus and text is available, in addition to {{wp|hiragana}} and {{wp|katakana}} as in the previous four generations.
* In international versions of the game, non-[[nickname|nicknamed]] Pokémon names are displayed with only one capital letter, rather than having all capital letters prior to Generation V.
* The number of boxes in the [[Pokémon storage system]] has been increased from 18 to 24. However, players only start with 8 boxes. Additional space is available once the player has placed one captured Pokémon in each of the 8 boxes, then receiving an additional 8 boxes for storage, bringing the total to 16. This cycle continues until the player finally has 24 boxes, for a storage total of 720 Pokémon.
* [[TM]]s have expanded from 92 to 95. Many of the 92 TMs found in Generation IV contain different moves.
** In addition, TMs now have infinite uses, like [[HM]]s.
*** To prevent repeated usage of TMs for the purpose of PP restoration, when a Pokémon forgets a move in order to learn from a TM or HM, the move learned takes on the current {{PP}} of the move replaced (up to its own maximum).
* The number of HMs has been reduced from eight to six. The first four remain the same as during the first four generations; HM05 is now {{m|Waterfall}} and HM06 is now {{m|Dive}}.
* The expansion of the Key Item shortcut feature to include access to several menu screens. After being registered, the player can access a quick access menu by pressing the Y Button.
* While the framerate for the overworld is still 30, the framerate has been increased to 60 for battles, the title screen, and 2D menus. However, the opening only has a framerate of 15.

===Alterations from Generation IV===
* The abandonment of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and the [[Pokéathlon]] in favor of the [[Pokémon Musical]], a different type of competition which does not factor in a Pokémon's moves.
* [[Seal]]s and [[Ball Capsule]]s are no longer available for use on [[Poké Ball]]s.
* The {{type|???}} does not exist in this generation. {{m|Curse}} is now a {{type|Ghost}} move.
* {{p|Rotom}}'s other forms are now the type of their respective special move.
* Pokémon in the [[party]] can no longer [[walking Pokémon|follow the player outside of battle]].
* The abandonment of encounter rate differences based on the [[time]] of day.
* [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]] members no longer have animated sprites like those of [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]] versions (although certain characters still do have animated sprites).
* The option to have the [[Running Shoes]] on at all times in HeartGold and SoulSilver versions has been removed.
* In the {{DL|Pokémon Center|Wireless Club 2|Wi-Fi Club}}, there is no longer an option to set all Pokémon at level 100.
* Items are displayed in a list format rather than the six-cell pages that were seen in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* [[Mixing records]] is no longer a feature.
* The persistent bottom-screen menu from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is no longer present, as that screen now displays the [[C-Gear]].

==Region==
===Unova===
[[File:Unova alt.png|thumb|right|Unova]]
{{main|Unova}}
Like previous generations, another new region, the [[Unova]] region, is introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Unlike the previous four regions, which are relatively close in respect to one another, Unova has been revealed to be distant from them, with the only way to travel between it and the other four being boat or airplane.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starters of the Unova region, like the starters of the previous four regions, follow the Grass-Fire-Water trio, with {{p|Snivy}} the {{type2|Grass}}, {{p|Tepig}} the {{type2|Fire}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} the {{type2|Water}}.

==Discussion of Generation V==
===Unova thematic motif===
The fifth generation of Pokémon games focuses on the relationships between opposites, such as nature and industry or humans and Pokémon. This comes from the concept of Yin and Yang, which the legendary mascots of {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, are based on, with another reference being that Reshiram is the mascot of Black and Zekrom being the mascot of White-- both are opposite colored to the game's color, while version mascots beforehand had always matched. The [[Musketeer trio]] also represent this theme as they are trying to prevent Pokémon from losing their natural habitats to human industry. The generation's main antagonists, [[Team Plasma]], also fit in with this theme, as their goal is to separate Pokémon from humans. Some of the cities also reflect this theme by being aesthetically different depending on the version of the game; two major examples of this are [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], two version-exclusive locations. The [[Dream World]], which is supposed to combine dreams and reality, also fit into this theme.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese logo of the Pokémon games was redesigned once again for Generation V's releases; the first logo was used in Generation I and [[Generation II]], and the second during [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]].
** The text for the English boxes also received a new design.
* Generation V introduces the most new Pokémon to the series, 156, five more than [[Generation I]] introduced.
* Generation V is the first generation since Generation I not to introduce any [[baby Pokémon]] or cross-generational relatives.
** Generation V is also the first generation where the number of [[legendary Pokémon]] did not increase from the previous generation. In this case, both Generation V and [[Generation IV]] introduced 13 [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Generation V is the only generation where:
** There is only one [[fishing]] rod, as the [[Fishing#Old Rod|Old Rod]] and [[Fishing#Good Rod|Good Rod]] have been removed.
** Three legendary trios (the [[Musketeer trio|Musketeer]], [[Kami trio|Kami]], and [[Tao trio|Tao]] trios) are introduced.
** There is an [[TM95|event-exclusive TM]].
** The {{game|Black and White|s|primary paired versions}} were released in Europe before North America.
* Generation V is also the only generation without:
** A new move as an [[HM]]: all six HMs have previously been available as HMs.
** The introduction of a new [[branched evolution]]: all Generation V Pokémon which can evolve only evolve into one Pokémon species.
** A [[Game Corner]]: this likely is due to changes in European law, which caused the European release of {{game|Platinum}} to lack Game Corner games and caused international versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} to completely alter the Game Corners to feature [[Voltorb Flip]] instead of the traditional slot machines.
** A [[Cycling Road]]: no place in Unova specifically requires the player to ride his or her [[bicycle]].
** The simultaneous occurrence of another generation: [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] occur at the same time, while [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] both occur three years later than the previous. Generation V is known to occur some time after Generation II and Generation IV, due to [[Cynthia]], [[Caitlin]], and the former {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}'s mentioning of events of those generations as being past events.
** A visit to [[Kanto]] for the player, and the appearance of its regional professor, [[Professor Oak]].
* Only 3 Pokémon of Generation V have [[gender differences]]. Those Pokémon are [[Unfezant]], [[Frillish]], and [[Jellicent]].

'''Sky Drop''' (Japanese: '''フリーフォール''' ''Freefall'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
On the turn it is selected, Sky Drop brings the target to the air. While in the air, both the user and the target will be unable to take action and will avoid any move targeted at them except {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, {{m|Hurricane}} or {{m|Smack Down}}. The next turn, the target is thrown down and receives damage. Sky Drop does no damage to {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, but it will pick them up (and make them unable to move) on its first turn; however, Sky Drop works normally on Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.

Sky Drop can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[triple battle]]s, and will fail if the target has a {{m|Substitute}} and while the target is using semi-invulnerable moves such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Bounce}}.

In a [[rotation battle]], if the target Pokémon is rotated out on the second turn of Sky Drop, the Pokémon will be dropped into their new rotated position and take no damage, while the rotated in Pokémon still gets to attack.


A [[Sky Drop glitch|glitch]] in double and triple battles can cause a Pokémon to be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state when Sky Drop is used until it faints. The glitch is activated when {{m|Gravity}} is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state after the use of Sky Drop. Gravity will bring the user of Sky Drop down while the target will be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state, unable to move until it is knocked out or hit with one of the moves listed above. Because of the glitch, Sky Drop has been banned in Wi-Fi Random Matches as of November 10, 2010.

==Trivia==
* All Pokémon capable of learning this move are of the {{type|Flying}}, with the exception of {{p|Mew}}, who can learn all TM moves.
* Rufflet is the only Pokémon who is capable of learning Sky Drop and can still evolve.
* Sky Drop is the only move that causes an opponent's Pokémon to become fully immobile whilst in use.
* This attack is banned from the Pokémon Video Game Tournament 2011 (probably because of the Sky Drop glitch)[http://www.pokemonvgc.com/en/regulations]
