'''Larry''' (Japanese: '''アオキ''' ''Aoki'') is a businessman who works for the [[Paldea]] [[region]]'s [[Pokémon League]], where he serves as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Medali]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Medali Gym]], and a member of Paldea's [[Elite Four]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as a Gym Leader and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon as an Elite Four member.

==In the core series games==

===Appearance===
Larry is depicted as a tall, middle-aged man of average build. His most unique features belong to his face, with prominent cheekbones and eyebags, grayish-black eyes in the shape of squares (alongside his pupils), square black eyebrows and black hair with numerous gray quiffs shooting off from it.

Larry wears a light black suit, consisting of a blazer, trousers and formal shoes. His suit, shoes and suitcase are notably worn out. Beneath his suit is a gray long-sleeve button-downed shirt with a pale-blue tie with a cloud outline pattern, referencing his specialization as an Elite Four member. During the Elite Four battle, Larry will wear a sky blue long-sleeve button-downed shirt. Larry also has a pretty poor posture as shown by his slouched back.

As with every other member of the Elite Four of Paldea, Larry wears black gloves with the logo of Paldea's Pokémon League, which resembles a white compass, upon them.

Larry is always seen holding a black briefcase, which he puts down before battles.

===Challenging the Medali Gym===
Medali Gym Leader: Larry

(AKA the Exceptional Everyman)

"This Normal-type user is the middle of the pack when it comes to Gym Leaders. He has a day job helping run the {{pal|Pokémon League}}, where he is not the best rated worker. He loves to eat."

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
'''Website Blurb:''' ''This Normal-type Gym Leader is also a businessman, and he’s not very motivated. When he gets lost in thought, he becomes so still that onlookers begin to worry.''

Larry is a serious, professional, brooding man who works for Paldea's [[Pokémon League]] under [[Geeta]], who assigned him the roles of both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member. He also works as a businessman on top of his Pokémon League duties. In [[The Indigo Disk]], it is revealed through his conversation with [[Ryme]], that Larry was contracted for the redesign of the [[Montenevera Gym|Montenevera battle court]].<ref>Larry's conversation with [[Ryme]] in [[The Indigo Disk]]. ''"Thank you for doing business with us regarding the redesign of the [[Montenevera Gym|Montenevera battle court]]." - Larry''

''"Oh, Yeah! I forgot we hired you for that. No sweat, baby. You did right by us too! That new battle court's pitch-perfect for live shows and as ghostly as I wanted. My [[Tyme|sister]] loved her old rocky court, but my {{p|Houndstone}} couldn't burrow into that!" - Ryme''</ref> He mentions that he is strictly told to cut down on his overtime hours.<ref>''"In any case, I've been strictly told to cut down on my overtime hours, so...I'll call it a day." - Larry''</ref> He sees being a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member as a part of his workload. He is not passionate about his day job and [[Pokémon]] battling. Larry is often unmotivated, and becomes unsettlingly still whenever he is lost in thought, much to the worry of people nearby.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/larry/ Larry — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Larry sees himself as an average, ordinary person; if the player chooses him as their favorite Gym Leader after they complete the Gym assessments, he questions their choice.<ref>''"[[Geeta|The boss]] contacted me the other day... She said you’d given my name when asked about your favorite Gym Leader. I really don’t understand your choice. Why would you pick an average Joe like me? Maybe you’re overworked and it’s affecting your judgment...? I know a good park where you could go to unwind, if that’s the case." - Larry''</ref> Larry intentionally hides his face in his Gym Leader profile picture because he wants to maintain a low profile and avoid the risk of attracting crowds.<ref>Larry's conversation with [[Iono]] from [[The Indigo Disk]]:

''"Yo, Larry! How come you don't face the camera in your Gym Leader pic?" - Iono''

''"I prefer to keep a low profile..."'' ''"If people knew my face, I'd run the risk of drawing crowds. That'd make it hard to get into restaurants-or worse, I could get banned for causing a disturbance in one." - Larry''

''"Hwhaaa! Hold up, back up! You DON'T want people to recognize you?"'' ''"Wait-that's not even the most bonkeriest part! How'd you get the OK to do yours different?! Everyone else has a regular pic!"'' ''- Iono''

''"Oh, that's just a matter of knowing who to talk to. It comes with experience, I suppose..." - Larry''

''"Daaang. You're adulting like a pro, Larry."'' ''-'' ''Iono''</ref> Larry is noted to be very quiet, which results in [[Hassel]] to be unable to hear him from afar.<ref>''"Uh... Don't think he heard you, Larry." "Larry, you...you may need to speak up just a little bit more." - [[Rika]]''

''"I think the real problem with the Elite Trial is that [[Hassel]] is the one after me. [[Rika]] or [[Poppy]] would hear me just fine, even if I didn’t shout." - Larry''</ref> According to [[Iono]] in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], Larry has been a member of the Paldea League for 25 years.

He uses Normal-type Pokémon at his Gym because he feels they reflect his ordinary image.<ref>''"They all belong to the Normal type. “Normal” as in plain...average...unremarkable...run-of-the-mill...I'm pretty fond of them, you know? They suit me perfectly—I'm about as ordinary as you can get." - Larry''

''"At my [[Gym]], I use [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me." - Larry''</ref> In addition to the Gym Badge, Larry gives out {{TM|025|Facade}} when defeated. During the Champion Assessment, he is the third Elite Four member to be faced and uses a team of Flying-type Pokémon per Geeta's request, much to his dismay.<ref>''"I serve as a member of the [[Elite Four]] too, yes...Unfortunately for me."''

''"At my [[Gym]], I use [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me."''

''"But, well, the boss told me to use a different [[type]] here."''

''- Larry''</ref>

Outside of his Pokémon League duties, he is known for his fixation with food, and regularly visits the Treasure Eatery of Medali, which also serves as the arena for his Gym battles. In [[The Indigo Disk]], Larry reveals that he also enjoys going on business trips.<ref>''"Calling me all the way out to another region... Is a certain [[Geeta|chairwoman]] rubbing off on you?"''

''"Actually, don’t worry about it. To be honest, I don’t mind these little business trips."''

''"I know I’m here for work, but I may as well enjoy myself while I’m at it." - Larry''</ref>

===The Indigo Disk===
After completing the main story, Larry can be invited to [[Unova]]'s [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach. When challenged to a [[rematch]], he battles as a Gym Leader, though he retains some Flying-type Pokémon from his team when battled as one of the Elite Four.

Larry may converse with other Trainers present in the [[League Club Room]].

==Pokémon==
As a Gym Leader, Larry's team consists of {{t|Normal}} types, while he uses {{t|Flying}} types as an Elite Four member. In the rematch with him at the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[League Club Room]], his team will be made up of both Normal and Flying types. His signature Pokémon is {{p|Staraptor}}.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Larry debuted in a flashback in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', where he was seen eating at the [[Treasure Eatery]] while [[Friede]] met with [[Lucca]] there.

He physically debuted in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', where he and the other members of the [[Elite Four]] watched [[Liko]]'s battle against [[Ann]] at [[Naranja Academy]].

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Larry battled [[Coral]] and [[Kofu]] as part of the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], only for Coral to have her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, knocking out all of their Pokémon and leaving Larry the winner by default.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Larry was assigned as [[Dot]]'s next challenge for the [[Tera Training]] course.

In ''[[HZ058|Food Fit for a Kingambit!]]'', Larry appeared during the reopening of the new menu at [[Anything Goes Café]]. After the meal, he left without attracting much attention, but was noticed by Dot when he left.

In ''[[HZ059|Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!]]'', Larry was Dot's opponent for her second Terastal battle, where he used both his {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Dudunsparce}} against Dot's {{p|Quaxly}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}. Even after Dot's Quaxly evolved into {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and put up a great fight by {{Tera}}stallizing, Larry was still able to win by Terastallizing his Staraptor in turn and exploiting Quaxwell's paralysis. Despite her loss, Larry still approved Dot for her opportunistic use of Terastallization. Afterwards, when Dot and her friends ate some [[rice ball]]s at the Treasure Eatery, Larry was forced to pay their bill, much to his dismay.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Larry was seen talking with [[Geeta]] and [[Ryme]] during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] taking place. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Larry watched Liko and Roy's battle with Ryme in the audience. After the tournament, Larry exchanged nods with Dot before leaving.

Larry appeared again in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', when the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] appeared at the {{pal|Pokémon League}} asking for permission to go to [[Area Zero]], Larry appeared along with the other members of the Elite Four. Later, Larry watched Liko, Roy, and Dot's battle against Geeta along with the others present.

====Character====
Larry has a very brooding, serious, stoic and calm personality, rarely showing much emotions both in and out of battling. He prefers the simple things in life, including simple but delicious foods. This simple, stoic and calm nature befits him as a Normal-Type user, and he even tells his opponents not to underestimate Normal-type Pokemon in battle. Regarding food, Larry is a massive foodie much like in the video games. He loves going to various restaurants to eat and has a hearty appetite. He is also generous enough to treat other people for a meal, like with Liko, Roy and Dot, though he was dismayed upon having to pay the whole bill.

In battle, Larry is calm and focused as ever, calmly analyzing his opponents movements and not giving their Pokemon much time to recover, capitalizing on opportunities and status conditions to exploit his opponent's weaknesses. His strength is shown simply by being both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member at the same time, just like in the video games. Larry is humble in victory and even passed Dot for her battle tactics and improved skills despite her losing, showcasing his judge of a person's skills.
{{-}}

====Pokémon====
Similar to the games, Larry uses two completely different teams of Pokémon, one team for challenges as a Gym Leader and another for battles as an Elite Four member.

This listing is of Larry's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}:

==In the manga==
[[File:Larry Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Larry in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Larry debuted in [[PASV17]]. He was first seen at the Treasure Eatery, grabbing a [[Rotom Phone]] [[Penny]] left behind when she left the building. He went outside to return it, only to find Penny surrounded by a group of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s. The Grunts used their Pokémon to attack Larry, but were easily defeated, giving Penny to opportunity to flee.

The following day, {{Violet}} and [[Arven]] went to have lunch at the [[Medali|Treasure Eatery]], only to find the building closed. The employees explained that a co-worker went missing while passing through [[Asado Desert]] to buy ingredients at [[Porto Marinada]]. Assuming this was the work of the Quaking Earth {{pkmn2|Titan}}, Violet and Arven promised to find the employee. They were stopped by Larry, who noted that he heard rumors about Violet and Arven's accomplishments in taking down the various Titans and wished to test their skills as Trainers.

After Violet was forced to register at the [[Medali Gym]], he and Larry faced each other in a Gym battle at the Treasure Eatery. Violet eventually emerged victorious after taking out Larry's {{Terastal}}lized {{p|Staraptor}}. Accepting his loss, Larry recognized that Violet and Arven were truly as strong as the rumors suggested and allowed them to go face the Titan. Larry saw the boys off, but was then confronted by his fellow [[Elite Four]] members and [[Geeta]], the Top Champion. Geeta explained that they came to investigate a report to the Pokémon League claiming Larry attacked some Trainers unprovoked, but quickly dismissed it as false. Larry told the others that the Trainers he supposedly attacked were members of Team Star and that they were harassing an [[Uva Academy]] student, which he noted was worse than their usual acts of misbehavior.

Despite being [[Terastal]]lized to remove its weakness to {{type|Rock}} moves, Staraptor fell after Violet turned his {{p|Clodsire}} into a Rock-type to make its {{m|Rock Slide}} stronger.

None of Staraptor's moves are known.}}

Dudunsparce put Smoliv to sleep, only for it to retaliate with a {{m|Sleep Talk}}-{{m|Flail}} combination, knocking Dudunsparce out.

Dudunsparce's known moves are {{m|Hyper Drill}} and {{m|Take Down}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Larry's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|非凡サラリーマン|Extraordinary Salaryman}}.
* As both a [[Gym Leader]] and an [[Elite Four]] member, Larry is the first character in the games to fill two different positions in the same [[Pokémon League]] simultaneously.
* Larry's specialization in Flying types is hinted at by the cloud patterns on his tie and his ace Pokémon as a Gym Leader being part Flying-type.
** Him specializing in both Normal and Flying types is likely a reference to how the Normal/Flying type combination is the most common type combination amongst dual-type Pokémon.
* Larry is the only Paldean Gym Leader in the core series to:
** {{Tera}}stallize a Pokémon already of his type specialization.
** Terastallize more than one Pokémon.
** Battle inside a building instead of outdoors.
* During the Champion Assessment, Larry's Altaria does not know any Flying-type moves, making Larry the only member of the Paldean Elite Four to use a Pokémon that does not know any moves with the specialty type of its Trainer.
* During his Gym battle, Larry's Dudunsparce is female, but during the rematch, it is male.
* During the battle at the [[League Club Room|League Club]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Larry's team uses a mixture of both {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Flying}} types.
* In [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]], Larry's {{p|Staraptor}} shares three of the same Flying-type moves with [[Lucius's Moltres]]: {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, and {{m|Air Slash}}.
* In the [[PPW04|fourth episode]] of [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], [[Iono]] confirms that Larry has been part of the Pokémon League for 25 years.

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day#2024|February 27th, 2024]], at 14:00 UTC, through a [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2024|Pokémon Presents]]. It was released worldwide on [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 16, 2025. A [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition, known as '''Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition''', released at the same time as both a physical release and a downloadable [[upgrade pack]]. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features enhanced resolution and frame rates compared to the base version. All copies of the game are playable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. It is the first core series game with a {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish translation.

The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] was revealed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on September 12, 2025.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game is set entirely in [[Lumiose City]], five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>'''NPC:''' "The incident with [[Team Flare]] five years ago sent shock waves through the whole of [[Kalos]]." (Pokémon Legends: Z-A)</ref> A large corporation called [[Quasartico Inc.]] leads an urban redevelopment plan for Lumiose City, aiming to make it a city where humans and Pokémon can live in harmony.

Six months prior to the events of the game, the first instance of [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], a phenomenon where Pokémon undergo [[Mega Evolution]] without a Trainer, occurs in Lumiose City. In the aftermath, Quasartico Inc., following words of advisement from [[AZ]], creates the [[Z-A Royale]] in order to find the strongest Mega Evolution user.

The {{player}} arrives in Lumiose City and is immediately introduced to [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], who allows them to choose a [[first partner Pokémon]], guides them through a night of [[Z-A Royale]], and leads them to [[Hotel Z]], where the player officially becomes part of [[Team MZ]]. As the player rises through the ranks of Z-A Royale, they also are tasked with dealing with the instances of Rogue Mega Evolutions popping all throughout Lumiose City.

After the player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A, Team MZ attempts to quell [[Ange]], a special device built by AZ 2,000 years ago inside of [[Prism Tower]], which was improperly activated due to the previous usage of the [[ultimate weapon]]. Urbain/Taunie Mega Evolves {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} {{p|Floette}} in order to control Ange, but this works only momentarily, as the device turns into Hyperrogue Ange Floette, destroying Prism Tower in the process. The player, assisted by other Trainers they met in the Z-A Royale and {{p|Zygarde}} {{form|Zygarde|Complete Form}}, finally stop Ange, protecting Lumiose City from the threat of Rogue Mega Evolution.

After the credits, AZ is revealed to have died moments after Ange had been stopped. Quasartico Inc. carries out the combined wishes of the player and Urbain/Taunie, which also had been asked by AZ, and allow for the Z-A Royale to exist indefinitely through the [[Z-A Royale|Infinite Z-A Royale]]. The player works out with [[Mable]] and [[Team Flare Nouveau]] in order to track down and catch {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, which were attracted to Lumiose City by Ange, and then is recognized as worthy by Zygarde, who allows them to catch it. After Urbain/Taunie becomes the CEO of Quasartico Inc., they {{pkmn2|gift}} Eternal Flower Floette to the player.
{{endspoilers}}


==Features==
===Battle mechanics===
Unlike other core series games, which use a turn-based battle system, Pokémon Legends: Z-A uses a real-time combat system where Trainers and their Pokémon can move around a 3D space which adapts various gameplay features from {{g|UNITE}}.

The similar features presented here along with new mechanics include precise timing of when to swap out Pokémon or use their [[move]]s, moves hitting specific areas of the field, and a [[cooldown]] feature in place of [[PP]], with a different length of time for each move. The moves now use precise button commands with the A, B, X, or Y buttons when locked on to a target, which can be customized.

[[Status move]]s that affects stats are now only limited to a one level change and will wear off after a short time, which the aura that it represents disappearing once the time limit is reached.

Unlike in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, [[held item]]s, including {{Berries}}, are present in the game.

===Catching Pokémon===
[[Wild Pokémon]] can be encountered throughout Lumiose City. Many of them appear in "wild zones", areas of the city specifically designated as places for Pokémon to live. Similar to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, players can attempt to catch Pokémon without having to {{pkmn|battle}} them, though battling them and lowering their HP will improve the odds of a successful catch.

A new mechanic is featured where if the wild Pokémon runs out of HP, it will become briefly stunned, allowing the player a few seconds to catch it before it vanishes. If the catch fails, the wild Pokémon will vanish.

===Friend===
Either [[Urbain]] or [[Taunie]] will appear as the player's [[friend]] depending on the [[Gender|appearance]] chosen for the [[player character]] at the beginning of the game. Players with a {{ga|Paxton|male appearance}} will meet Taunie, while players with a {{ga|Harmony|female appearance}} will meet Urbain. The player's friend works at [[Hotel Z]], where they support the hotel's owner, [[AZ]].

The game features {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Totodile}} as [[first partner Pokémon]]. The player's friend will use both of the Pokémon that the player did not choose as their first partner.

Later in the story, Taunie/Urbain will invite the player to join [[Team MZ]], who aim to protect Lumiose City and have been tasked with battling the Rogue [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon running wild around the city.

===Rogue Mega Evolutions===
{{main|Rogue Mega Evolution}}
The battles against the [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]s use a similar system as the [[noble Pokémon]] battles from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. The player has to dodge attacks from Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon in real time and launch attacks to deplete the Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon's health bar and cause them to drop orbs of Mega Power. Gathering Mega Power will fill its meter and allow the player to induce Mega Evolution on their own Pokémon. The meter will then slowly drain, but the player is able to gather more Mega Power to keep the meter from draining; the meter will enter a cooldown mode once it has been drained.

===Z-A Royale===
The [[Z-A Royale]] is a competition held at night in Lumiose City. Participating Pokémon Trainers start at Rank Z, and can rank up by defeating other Trainers in promotion matches to progress to Rank A. It is said that Trainers who reach Rank A may have one wish granted.

===New Pokémon and forms===
[[Eternal Flower Floette]] is available for the first time. Additionally, 26 Pokémon gained new [[Mega Evolution]]s, those being {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Excadrill}}, {{p|Scolipede}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{P|Eelektross}}, {{p|Chandelure}}, {{p|Chesnaught}}, {{p|Delphox}}, {{p|Greninja}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} {{p|Floette}}, {{p|Malamar}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, {{p|Dragalge}}, {{p|Hawlucha}}, {{p|Zygarde}} {{form|Zygarde|Complete Forme}}, {{p|Drampa}}, and {{p|Falinks}}.

===Pokémon mechanics===
[[Mega Evolution]] returns for the first time in a [[core series]] game since {{LGPE}}.

{{pkmn2|Wild}} [[alpha Pokémon]] make their return from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, behaving and looking similarly to as they did in that game.

{{Abilities}}, {{pkmn|breeding}}, and {{pkmn|Egg}}s are not available in this game.

===Connectivity===
The game is planned to receive [[Pokémon HOME]] compatibility at some point in 2026. However, Pokémon caught or transferred to Pokémon Legends: Z-A cannot be sent to previous Nintendo Switch titles. Similar to previous Pokémon titles on the Nintendo Switch, only Pokémon available in this game can be transferred into it.

==Reception==
The game sold 5.80 million copies in its launch week.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-legends-z-a-has-super-effective-start-already-selling-5-8-million-copies/1100-6535676/ Pokemon Legends: Z-A Has Super-Effective Start, Already Selling 5.8 Million Copies - GameSpot]</ref>

==Version history==
The game file size for the download version is dependant on the system that the game is downloaded on, irrespective of the edition owned. In other words, downloading the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of the game on a [[Nintendo Switch 2]] will still consume the same amount of storage space as the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade pack only consumes approximately 3 MB of additional space.<ref name="Nintendo eShop AU">https://ec.nintendo.com/AU/en/aocs/70050000058351</ref>

|'''Fixes Applied for the Following Issues'''
* If your Pokémon Boxes became full before the first Rogue Mega Evolution battle and the Boxes menu had not been opened at any point prior to being filled, Pokémon catch attempts would always fail. Additionally, if a side mission that allows you to receive Pokémon was attempted under these conditions, the mission would be completed without granting the Pokémon.
* In certain side missions, if the time of day switched between daytime and nighttime at the exact moment that a move hit its target, it became impossible to hit the target afterward, rendering the side mission incapable of being progressed further.
* In Trainer battles, if the opposing Trainer switched Pokémon and the player simultaneously activated Mega Evolution, the game may have become unplayable because the opposing Trainer failed to send out a new Pokémon.
* Other minor issues have also been fixed.

'''Ranked Battles Balance Adjustments'''
* To prevent points from decreasing based on match outcomes, points awarded according to ranking have been adjusted.
* Battle rewards have been partially increased and added to the rewards received after each match.

If the physical Nintendo Switch version is played on a Nintendo Switch 2, then the patch downloads will also contain the data for the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack, resulting in extra data being downloaded. If the physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is inserted into the Switch 2 console instead, then the Upgrade Pack contents will not be downloaded.

==Trivia==
* This is the first core series game:
** To be rated E10+ by the {{wp|Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB}}.
** To use real-time combat.
** To include letters from the Latin alphabet in its official Chinese name, as {{g|X and Y}} were never officially translated to Chinese.
** To have its [[Mega Dimension|DLC]] be revealed before the release of the base game and also the first instance of [[core series]] DLC releasing in the same calendar year as the base game.
** In which there is no way for the player to travel directly across water, such as {{m|Surf}} or [[Poké Ride]].
** In which the main [[rival]] gets both [[first partner Pokémon]] that the player does not pick.
** Released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] family of systems to not give or get a [[save data bonus]].
** To receive an [[upgrade pack]] and accompanying [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition.
** In which a Pokémon can legitimately exceed [[level]] 100.
** In which {{p|Mewtwo}} is present without {{p|Mew}}.
** In which [[weather]] is a mechanic, but no weather-setting move is available.
*** It also is the first core series game to only feature one weather condition in battle, namely [[rain]].
**To completely exclude the [[Psyduck (Pokémon)|Psyduck]] evolutionary family.
* This is the first original core series game since {{B2W2}} to not introduce any new Pokémon species at the time of its release, and the second overall.
* All Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] are in the base game of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. No new Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IX]] appear in the game until the release of the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC.
* With the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, every Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] is present in at least one of the Nintendo Switch core series games.
** Before this game, the {{p|Patrat}} [[evolution]]ary line, the [[elemental monkeys]], and {{p|Furfrou}} were the only remaining Pokémon to have not been present in a Nintendo Switch core series game.
** Despite this, the National Pokédex in [[Pokémon HOME]] still cannot be completed using the Nintendo Switch games alone, since {{p|Spinda}} cannot be moved in or out of {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} due to the [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|spot pattern glitches]] and therefore has to be [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]].

Game intro

2025-12-18T09:29:41Z

Jaminux: /* Pokémon Legends: Z-A */ Fixing some errors added in my previous edit. Apologies for the edit spam.

The '''game intro''' is the series of cutscenes displayed before the start of a game.

==In the core series==
===[[Generation I]]===
====Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue====
In {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red, Green}}, and [[Pokémon Blue (Japan)|Blue]], as well as the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the game intro starts with the [[Game Freak]] logo and a shooting star, then stars of different colors fall below this logo.

After this, there is a short [[Pokémon battle]] cutscene (on a blank background):
* {{p|Gengar}} vs. {{p|Nidorino}}{{sup/1|RG}}
* Gengar vs. {{p|Jigglypuff}}{{sup/1|B}}

Due to {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Purple Jigglypuff oversight|an oversight}}, when Pokémon Blue is played in [[Color palette (Generations I–II)|color]], Jigglypuff appears purple instead of pink. This is a leftover from the battle between Gengar and Nidorino, as both are purple Pokémon.

At the end of the game intro, the [[player character]] {{ga|Red}} appears below the Pokémon game logo. He throws his [[Poké Ball]] up sometimes (he does not move; only the Poké Ball moves).

The respective [[first partner Pokémon]] with the same color as the current version appears with Red at first: {{p|Bulbasaur}}{{sup/1|G}}, {{p|Charmander}}{{sup/1|R}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|B}}. Some Pokémon then appear together with the player character, one Pokémon at a time. In each game version, there is a separate list of 16 Pokémon that can appear in this logo scene.

When the games are played in color, all these Pokémon from the logo scene have an unusual color palette. Specifically, they share the same color palette as the player (including dark purple and light pink colors). This is the same palette used in normal gameplay for {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Jynx}}.

These are the Pokémon seen together with the player Red in the title screen:

====Pokémon Yellow====
In {{game|Yellow}}, the game intro starts with the [[Game Freak]] logo and a shooting star, then stars of different colors fall below this logo.

After this, these cutscenes featuring {{p|Pikachu}} appear:
* A small Pikachu silhouette running towards the player
* Pikachu jumping while doing a flying kick
* A larger version of Pikachu running towards the player, this time colored red
* [[Surfing Pikachu]] in the sea
* An even larger version of Pikachu running towards the player
* [[Flying Pikachu]] (a Pikachu flying with balloons) in the sky
* Pikachu looking at the player and then using an {{t|electric}} move

At the end, a smiling Pikachu with a "Pika!" speech balloon appears below the game logo. He says his name "Pikachu" once, voiced by [[Ikue Otani]]. This is the main [[cry]] used by [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]] in places such as the Pokémon [[summary]].

=====Differences=====
When run on a [[Game Boy Color]], the international versions of Pokémon Yellow feature Pikachu with a separate color palette from the backgrounds it overlaps.

Normally, when games are run on a [[Super Game Boy]], both backgrounds and overlapping objects share the same color palettes. The Game Boy Color enhancement of Pokémon Yellow mimics these restrictions throughout the majority of the game, despite being capable of assigning different color palettes (regardless of overlapping). These introduction scenes are the only known portion of the game to disobey this "overlapping" restriction.

=====Glitches=====
When run on a Super Game Boy, the international versions of Pokémon Yellow feature a bizarre graphical glitch when the introduction loops more than once.

Normally, color palette 16 (0x10) is intended for introduction scenes of Pikachu against a white background. Instead, the color palette information from the previous title screen is not correctly overwritten—which results in half of color palette 14 (0x0E) and half of color palette 16 displaying the screen. The color palettes are then changed at a later part in the introduction, such that color palette 16 and color palette 0 (0x00) are displaying the screen. Once the title screen is reached a second time, the "Pokémon" logo is displayed in color palette 16, with Pikachu displayed in color palette 0. Repeating the introduction again does not result in any further color palette changes - correct, or incorrect.
* Introduction scenes of Pikachu against a blue background (using color palette 37) are not affected by this graphical glitch.
* This graphical glitch is not present when the international version of Pokémon Yellow is run on a Game Boy Color.
* This graphical glitch is also not present when the japanese version of Pokémon Yellow is run on a Super Game Boy.

===[[Generation II]]===
====Pokémon Gold and Silver====
In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the game intro starts with a star quickly moving in a spiral, which turns into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

Then, three {{p|Shellder}} appear underwater. The camera goes upwards, revealing five {{p|Magikarp}} swimming (only four can be seen in clear sight), and then a {{p|Lapras}} travelling on the water surface. Lapras then swims out of view. The camera goes left and quickly transitions into a forest where a {{p|Jigglypuff}} is singing in a forest. A {{p|Pikachu}} appears and attacks Jigglypuff by jumping into it. The camera goes downwards.

In another cutscene, the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] appear one at a time ({{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}), while a {{p|Charizard}} outline appears on a black screen. The black screen then changes to white, revealing Charizard; it then uses a {{t|fire}} move.

The game logo then appears, with the respective [[Legendary Pokémon]]: {{p|Ho-Oh}} flying{{sup/2|G}} or {{p|Lugia}} swimming{{sup/2|S}}.

====Pokémon Crystal====
In {{game|Crystal}}, the game intro starts with a {{p|Ditto}} dropping in the middle of a black screen, which {{m|transform}}s into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

An {{p|Unown}} {{form|Unown|A}} appear on a black screen, uttering some noise and releasing some form of energy. There is then a separate scene with some grass. Unown I and H appear. It cuts back to the grass scene, where a {{p|Suicune}} silhouette runs across the screen. A {{p|Wooper}} and a {{p|Pichu}} appear in front of the grass, startled by the sound of Suicune running.

Unown U, W, G, T, B, E, S, L appears on the black screen. After that, Suicune appears more clearly running on the grass, until it jumps and an Unown F teleports in front of it. After Suicune looks at it, it jumps up, and the third group of Unown appear and surround Suicune. Suicune turns into a silhouette.

The word "Crystal" appears, written by [[Unown symbols|Unown letters]]. After that, a red-eyed purple Suicune silhouette is seen continuously running under the Pokémon Crystal logo.

===[[Generation III]]===
====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the game intro starts with some plants dripping dew on a puddle. Then, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears and disappears. The camera goes up, where mountains are seen on the horizon, then a small silhouette of an [[Eon duo]] Pokémon is seen flying towards a mountain.

Afterwards, it cuts to the following scene:
* In Pokémon Ruby, a forest is seen in the background. The sky is clear, and there are mountains behind the forest.
* In Pokémon Sapphire, the ocean is seen in the background. The sky is cloudy, and there are no mountains visible.

The [[player character]] is seen riding a [[bicycle]]. The [[gender]] of the player character is randomized each time the game is booted and the color of the bicycle is tied to whichever sprite is chosen, with {{ga|Brendan}} riding a blue bicycle and {{ga|May}} riding a green one. The flying [[Legendary Pokémon]] ({{p|Latios}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/3|S}}) is fully revealed as it appears flying closer, and then the player character slows down the bicycle and turns their head to look at it. The Pokémon flies out of view and the player character follows it.

After a quick [[Poké Ball]]-like battleground transition, a {{p|Sharpedo}} and then a {{p|Duskull}} move on the screen. The player character throws two {{i|Poké Ball}}s, sending {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Torchic}} out to battle. There is a [[Double Battle]] between them and the two foes (Sharpedo and Duskull), all four use moves, creating a large sphere in the middle. The Pokémon logo appears on a screen alternating between black to white, and then the respective [[super-ancient Pokémon]] appears ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}) with the full game logo.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the game intro starts with a shooting star with sparkles, which transitions into the Game Freak logo.

In the middle of a forest, there is a battle between a {{p|Gengar}} and a {{p|Nidorino}}; the Nidorino makes its [[cry]] and the Gengar flails at it. The Nidorino then jumps at the Gengar.

This battle transitions into a monochrome version of {{p|Charizard}}{{sup/3|FR}}/{{p|Venusaur}}{{sup/3|LG}}. This Pokémon is soon colorized (a red palette is applied to Charizard; a green palette is applied to Venusaur), and the game logo appears. In the FireRed background, there is some fire erupting; in the LeafGreen background, there are some leaves in the wind.

====Pokémon Emerald====
In {{game|Emerald}}, the game intro starts with the Game Freak logo appearing and disappearing, with some plants dripping dew on a puddle in the background. The camera pans up, showing mountains on the horizon, then a silhouette of a Pokémon is seen flying towards a mountain.

Afterwards, it cuts to a scene in a forest, where the [[player character]] is seen riding a [[bicycle]] (the gender of the player character is randomized each time the game is booted). The player character appear in their Emerald-style clothing and is riding a red bicycle. A {{p|Manectric}} and a {{p|Volbeat}} moves in the same direction as the player character, followed by a {{p|Torchic}} and the previous flying Pokémon revealed to be a {{p|Flygon}}. Everyone, excluding Torchic move out of view, just as the Torchic trips and falls to the ground. It gets up and quickly tries to catch up again.

After a quick [[Poké Ball]]-like battleground transition, a Groudon appears and growls with rocks rising, then a Kyogre appears with bubbles. After a short animation of clouds surrounding the sun, lightnings from the clouds reveal a {{p|Rayquaza}} shadow. Rayquaza then appears as a silhouette and shoots an energy beam in the direction of the player. The Pokémon logo appears on a screen alternating between black to white, and then the Rayquaza appears with the full game logo.

===[[Generation IV]]===
====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, some sparkles appear at the start of the intro, falling from the top DS screen to the bottom one. The Game Freak logo appears at the top, and the text "Game Freak presents" text at the bottom. Some sparkles fall again.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are the first [[core series]] games where the Pokémon logo appears at the start (rather than at the end) of the game intro. In those games, the Pokémon logo remains in black and white at the top screen during most of the game intro.

While the monochrome Pokémon logo is shown above, scenes from the [[Sinnoh]] overworld appear at the bottom screen. Some of these scenes use a regular camera angle, while others have a tilted camera angle. These scenes often have subtle differences from the actual gameplay.

The following overworld locations can be seen:
* The north of {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}
** In the game intro, {{tc|Aroma Lady}} Taylor is facing south near the stairs and thus would be easily avoidable by the player (rather than facing east near the grass, where the player must battle her to proceed in the game), {{tc|Bug Catcher}} Brandon is blocking the way between fences at the west in a way that would make the small area behind the fence permanently inaccessible to the player (while in actual gameplay he is near the east grass instead), and there is a {{tc|Youngster}} (possibly Youngster Tyler) near the grass in the east where Bug Catcher Brandon is located in normal gameplay.
** {{tc|Twins}} Liv & Liz, the east [[cuttable plant]], and the [[Awakening]] item ball are absent from the game intro.
* The south of [[Floaroma Town]] (seen once the camera moves north from Route 204)
** In the intro, there is a Bug Catcher west of the [[Pokémon Center]], a female character between the Pokémon Center and [[Poké Mart]], and a young girl near the Poké Mart (they are not seen in normal gameplay).
** In the intro, the female character near the Pokémon Center and the male character between the two west patches of flowers are absent.
** The male character near the sign and the female character near the flower shop have different sprites (or are different characters) between the game intro and the normal gameplay.
** The house to the west of the flower shop is smaller in the intro and has four rows of flowers at the east; in normal gameplay, this larger house has only three rows of flowers there.
* A small portion of the east of {{rt|205|Sinnoh}} (seen once the camera moves east from Floaroma Town)
* The northwest of Route 205
** There are two groups of three {{p|Starly}} quickly flying in the game intro.
** In the intro, the Bug Catcher near the exit of [[Eterna Forest]] is absent, although a Bug Catcher (possibly the same) is found near the place where {{tc|Picnicker}} Siena is located in normal gameplay.
** In the intro, a Picknicker (possibly Siena) is located in place of {{tc|Battle Girl}} Kelsey (which is absent from the intro).
** In the intro, {{tc|Camper}} Jacob appears to be on the bridge instead of being near the sign.
** {{tc|Hiker}}s Daniel and Nicholas appear to be absent from the intro as well, although a Hiker (possibly one of them) is seen north of the ledge near the four trees.
** Picnicker Karina and the four [[Underground]] air ducts near her are also absent from the intro.
** In the intro, there is a male character near the bottom level of the stairs south of the bridge.
** Aroma Lady Elizabeth is nearer to the grass in the intro.
** The [[Antidote]] (west of the grass patch north of the bridge) and the {{i|Poké Ball}} (at the lower level, west of the bridge) item balls are absent from the game intro.

After the overworld scenes are done, the male player character {{ga|Lucas}} is seen walking towards the camera, then {{p|Turtwig}} appears and uses a leaf move. The female player character {{ga|Dawn}} is seen walking towards the camera as well, with the rival {{ga|Barry}} in the background, then {{p|Chimchar}} appears and uses a fire move. Lucas and Dawn appear both walking together the same way as before, then {{p|Piplup}} appears and uses a bubble move.

The monochrome Pokémon logo disappears from the top screen. Both the top and bottom screens together form an image of [[Mount Coronet]] below a purple sky with lightning. The camera zooms in the mountain, and a diamond{{sup/4|D}}/pearl{{sup/4|P}} symbol appears at the bottom screen, while the Pokémon logo appears with the normal colors (rather than the previous black and white version) at the top, and forms the full game logo.

The diamond{{sup/4|D}}/pearl{{sup/4|P}} symbol zooms out to a CGI rendering of the respective [[Pokémon of myth]] ({{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}/{{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}) at the bottom screen, below the game logo (with normal colors).

====Pokémon Platinum====
In {{ga|Platinum}}, some sparkles appear at the start of the intro, falling from the top DS screen to the bottom one. The Game Freak logo appears at the top, and the text "Game Freak presents" text at the bottom. Some sparkles fall again.

A monochrome version of the Pokémon logo appears at the top screen, while the following overworld locations are seen on the bottom screen (some of these scenes use a regular camera angle, while others have a tilted camera angle. These scenes often have subtle differences from actual gameplay):
* The south of Route 204
** Youngster Tyler is located in a slightly different place.
** {{tc|Lass}} Samantha is absent from the intro.
** A Picnicker is in the game intro, near the north exit of the [[Ravaged Path]]. The Youngster that would normally be there is absent from the intro.
** The [[Paralyze Heal]] and Awakening item balls are absent from the game intro.
* The west of Eterna Forest
** The [[Moss Rock]] is absent from the intro. The rock and the four tiles with no grass found in normal gameplay are simply filled with grass in the intro.
** Bug Catcher Jack, Lass Briana, {{tc|Psychic}}s Kody and Rachael, and the other Bug Catcher near the west entrance are absent from the game intro.
* The north of Eterna City
** In the game intro, there is a Lass (near the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]]) and a male character (west of the Pokémon Center) that do not appear in normal gameplay.
** The male {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} west of the Pokémon Center is absent from the intro.
** The {{TM|46|Thief}} is absent from the intro.

Two characters introduced in Platinum appear as full body sprites in front of the Eterna City scene: [[Looker]] and then [[Charon]].

After the overworld scenes are done, the monochrome Pokémon logo disappears from the top screen. Both Lucas and Dawn (wearing their Platinum-style outfits) appear running together towards the camera: Lucas at the top screen and Dawn at the bottom screen. Lucas's background is filled with tall buildings and a clear sky, while Dawn's background is filled with small houses and a cloudy sky. Then they appear to battle each other, as each throws a Poké Ball. Lucas's Pokémon are {{p|Prinplup}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Torterra}}; Dawn's Pokémon are {{p|Infernape}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Grotle}}. Two of the three fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]], chosen at random each time, appear on the top and bottom screens respectively: Torterra uses a leaf move, Infernape uses a fire move, and {{p|Empoleon}} uses a bubble move. Lightning bolts strike both screens.

[[Cyrus]] appears and looks at the player on the bottom screen. A swirling black portal appears, from which {{p|Giratina}} looks at the player with red eyes and smiles. The camera then enters the portal. At the end, a CGI rendering of {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} {{p|Giratina}} appears at the bottom screen, below the game logo (with normal colors).

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the game intro starts with the white text "Game Freak presents" on a black background on the bottom screen. Once the opening animation starts, the text remains for a moment, before disappearing.

This short scene appears at the bottom screen, while the top screen displays the top portion of the sky:
* In HeartGold, the sun rises in the twilight sky, with some clouds. The sky is above a body of water, with pine trees at the sides. The sun stops, and seconds later {{p|Ho-Oh}} flies into the direction of the camera, and both screens become completely white.
* In SoulSilver, the moon rises in a clear night sky, without any clouds. The sky is above a body of water, with rocks at the sides. The moon stops, and seconds later {{p|Lugia}} flies into the direction of the camera, and both screens become completely white.

In another scene, the camera moves quickly above the grass in both screens, until it stops and the bottom screen becomes completely black. At the top screen, {{ga|Ethan}} is standing near some small houses. The camera moves right, and {{ga|Lyra}} is also standing with a similar pose. Each of them is holding a Poké Ball and looking at the camera. The camera moves up into a tree, and the scene changes again.

Some overworld scenes are seen at the top screen (while the bottom screen remains black). Some of these scenes use a regular camera angle, while others have a tilted camera angle. These scenes often have subtle differences from actual gameplay.

These are the overworld locations seen at the game intro:
* [[New Bark Town]]
** In the game intro, the blue fence at the right of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab is absent, the male NPC is located close to the [[player's house]] (instead of close to the opposite-gender rival), and the female NPC is located near the lab (instead of near the sign).
* [[Goldenrod City]]
** In the game intro, a Lass is near the [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Game Corner]] (but not in normal gameplay) and a {{tc|School Kid}} is located at the south entrance (instead of a {{tc|Beauty}} as in normal gameplay).
* [[Ecruteak City]]
** In the game intro, the Barrier Station (the house on the way to the [[Bell Tower]]) is missing the sign at the front. Both the Barrier Station and the smaller house to the left have a red color scheme (including red doors and windows), unlike in normal gameplay. The old man is also closer to it than in normal gameplay.
** The Lass is closer to the [[Burned Tower]] sign than in regular gameplay as well.

The top screen (where these locations appeared) becomes black, and on the bottom screen, the rival {{ga|Silver}} appears as a black silhouette on a red background, and then a full shot of his face.

This is quickly replaced by the faces of the [[Legendary beasts]] with blank eyes: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, and {{p|Raikou}}. Then, [[Eusine]] appears on their left as a full body sprite, and quickly disappears. Some {{p|Unown}} move on the screen and push the Legendary beasts out of view. The four [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Executive}}s ([[Proton]], [[Petrel]], [[Ariana]], and [[Archer]]) appear together, under the large "R" logo of their team.

In another scene, Ethan and Lyra quickly appear again, this time as close-ups of their faces: Ethan at the top screen with a silver-colored background, and Lyra at the bottom screen with a gold-colored background. {{p|Chikorita}} (at the bottom screen) uses a leaf move, then {{p|Cyndaquil}} (at the top screen) uses a fire move, and {{p|Totodile}} (at the bottom screen) uses a water move. Then, both screens become black.

Suicune appears (at the bottom-left corner of the screen) on a cliff, looking at the sea.

* In HeartGold, the camera goes up into the sky. In the bottom screen, a CGI rendering of {{p|Ho-Oh}} appears continuously flying in the sky. This scene is an enhanced remake of Ho-Oh flying at the end of Pokémon Gold's game intro.
* In SoulSilver, the camera goes down into the sea. In the bottom screen, a CGI rendering of {{p|Lugia}} appears continuously swimming under the water. This scene is an enhanced remake of Lugia swimming at the end of Pokémon Silver's game intro.

While the Legendary Pokémon is moving on the bottom screen, the game logo appears at the top screen. The camera occasionally goes closer or further from this Legendary Pokémon, or the camera moves and displays this Legendary Pokémon in another angle.

===[[Generation V]]===
====Pokémon Black and White====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the game intro starts with a star moving and hitting the ground, scattering letters of the [[Game Freak]] logo, before forming properly.

[[N's Castle]] appears on the top screen, where the coronation of [[N]] as king takes place. [[Ghetsis]] (face not shown) walks towards the throne with a crown in hand, while some members of the [[Seven Sages]] are at the side. The screen changes to the crown with Ghetsis's face in the background, before showing the throne. Then, Ghetsis raises his hands and the crown. N appears walking towards Ghetsis and a close-up side view shot of N is shown, before changing to a close-up shot of his eyes. He closes his eyes, while he reminisces himself as a child with a {{p|Darmanitan}}, a {{p|Zorua}}, and two {{p|Woobat}} in a forest. The camera zooms into young N. Back to the present, Ghetsis raises the crown while [[Anthea and Concordia]] watch on. Ghetsis places the crown on top of N's head and N opens his eyes. He raises his right hand and the camera pans out.

The following scenes then take place:
* The male [[player character]] {{ga|Hilbert}} crosses the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], while the word "Hopes!" appears.
* An {{p|Emolga}} is placed on a bed, while the word "Dreams!" appears.
* The female player character {{ga|Hilda}} passes through to the multi-player side of the [[Entralink]] and turns into a {{tc|Lass}}, while the word "Discoveries!" appears.
* A [[Gender|male]] {{p|Frillish}}, a {{p|Minccino}}, an {{p|Audino}}, and {{p|Pansage}} performing in the [[Pokémon Musical]], while the words "Adventures Await" appears.
* A [[Pokémon battle]] between a {{p|Haxorus}} and Darmanitan, with Haxorus using {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, while the words "You and Your Pokémon!" appears.

A CGI rendering of {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|B}} or {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}} appears at the bottom screen, below the game logo. The two screen switches place, with the top screen showing zoomed-in shots of the Pokémon, and the bottom screen with the game logo. If the player presses A or Start, the Pokémon will let out its cry and the camera shows a close-up shot of its face.

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
In {{B2W2}}, the game intro starts with a star moving and hitting the ground, scattering letters of the [[Game Freak]] logo, before forming properly.

A black silhouette of {{form|Kyurem|Black}} {{p|Kyurem}}{{sup/5|B2}}/white silhouette of White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} appears on the top screen, with the eyes and horn shining yellow. The game logo is then shown.

{{ga|Nate}} appears with a {{i|Poké Ball}} in hand and looks at the camera with {{ga|Rosa}} posing in the background. Both player characters switch places, with Rosa in the front with a Poké Ball and Nate in the back posing. {{p|Tepig}} appears while Nate walks in the [[Marine Tube]] in the background, {{p|Snivy}} appears while scenes from [[Pokéstar Studios]] are shown in the background, and {{p|Oshawott}} appears while Rosa activates the Entralink in the background. A group shot of several [[Team Plasma]] members (a male {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}, a female Team Plasma Grunt, a [[Shadow Triad]], and one of the Seven Sages), a shot of [[rival]] [[Hugh]] posing with a Poké Ball, then [[Colress]] holding a book appear. Colress closes the book.

A shot of crystal zooms out to a Zekrom with a blue background and outline of Black Kyurem behind it. The shot is followed by a view of a Reshiram with a red background that shows a silhouette of White Kyurem. Afterward, the [[Swords of Justice]] ({{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}), then regular Kyurem appear.

A CGI rendering of Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} appears at the bottom screen, below the game logo. The two screen switches place, with the top screen showing zoomed-in shots of the Pokémon, and the bottom screen with the game logo. If the player presses A or Start, the Pokémon will let out its cry and the camera shows a close-up shot of its face.

===[[Generation VI]]===
====Pokémon X and Y====
{{incomplete|section|Game Freak logo missing}}
In Pokémon X & Y the game intro starts with a light flash in the color and letter of their corresponding versions (Blue X for Pokémon X and a red Y for Pokémon Y respectively) which transitions to displaying the corresponding letter for each version. The Pokémon logo subsequently appears. And the corresponding version mascot legendary appears as a CGI render on the bottom screen. If left alone it's followed by a montage of in game footage of the segments where a trainer rides a Skiddo and Rhyhorn. Transitioning to a shot of Lumiose tower. Lumiose City itself and then the forest leading to the Battle Chateau. Before switching to footage of Torchic, Pikachu and Sylveon and footage of Pokémon Aime. Footage in a sports stadium, grinding on rails, showing the female trainer in different outfits. Ending with the animation of using the HM Fly.

===[[Generation VII]]===
====Pokémon Sun and Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, a nebulous view of a starry night is shown, quickly revealed to be a close up of the respective [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/ {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}, roaring and posing at the bottom screen, with the game logo above.

The respective celestial bodies of each game appear right behind the logo, moving to the upper right{{sup/7|S}}/left{{sup/7|M}} corner, while the respective Legendary Pokémon runs{{sup/7|S}}/flies{{sup/7|M}} until the shine of the heavenly body covers them.

The bottom screen turns to black, and in the top the female [[player character]], {{ga|Selene}}, is seen launching a {{i|Poké Ball}}, then {{p|Popplio}} appears with a blue background filled with bubbles and does a pirouette, followed by {{p|Rowlet}} in a green background flying to the front. The male player character, {{ga|Elio}}, is seen with a Poké Ball on his right hand and pointing to the sky with his left, then {{p|Litten}} appears, jumping towards the camera in a red background.

This is followed by small clips of multiple cinematics we can see in-game:
*Elio and a female {{p|Pikachu}} are about to start {{m|Catastropika}} and Selene with Pikachu finishing up the synchronized dance and pose for the same move.

*The [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] of [[Melemele Island]], [[Hala]], getting ready for a Grand Trial Battle.

*[[Gladion]], one of the game rivals and the Team Skull Enforcer, grabbing his right hand and posing, ready for battle.

*Elio pumping up a {{p|Rockruff}} in the middle of a {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}.

* Elio riding a [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Lapras}}, encountering {{p|Wishiwashi}}, the [[Totem Pokémon]] of [[Brooklet Hill]] under the rain.

*Another view of Catastropika, now being executed by a male Pikachu, against a {{p|Bewear}}.

*Rockruff's Breakneck Blitz connecting against a foe's {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}}.

*The first Totem Pokémon encountered by the player, {{p|Gumshoos}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}{{sup/7|M}} roaring in [[Verdant Cavern|Verdant Cave]].

* A quick glimpse of an {{p|Eevee}} in the middle of performing {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

Right after these, there are scenes from the Alolan overworld and non-battle oriented gameplay. The following locations can be seen:
*[[Hau'oli City]], a daytime view from above followed by a nighttime view at the beachfront.

*{{rt|7|Alola}}, showing Elio in Riding gear performing a Tauros Charge.

*{{rt|15|Alola}}, with Elio now surfing on a Poké Ride Sharpedo, destroying some breakable rocks.

*[[Melemele Meadow]], {{rt|3|Alola}}, specifically in a [[Poké Finder]] photo spot zooming in to take a picture of a {{p|Cutiefly}} and a {{fd|Oricorio|Pom-Pom Style}} {{p|Oricorio}}.

*Near [[tall grass]], a session of [[Pokémon Refresh]] with a {{p|Togedemaru}}, being groomed with a comb.

*The Alolan high sea, with Elio and [[Hau]] riding on [[Professor Kukui]]'s boat on their way from Melemele to [[Akala Island|Akala]].

*[[Mahalo Trail]], with [[Lillie]], Selene, and [[Nebby]] surprised looking at {{p|Tapu Koko}} (off view).

The top screen turns black and the Legendary Pokémon reappear, moving towards the camera. After a bright light, both CGI models are now on the lower screen right as the game logos come back on top, we get a quick 360 degree shot of the CGI models, followed by a zoom in into their faces and a final pose.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
{{incomplete|section|Game Freak logo missing}}
In {{LGPE}}, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears, and changes to the [[player's house|player's room]]. The player character is not seen (until their gender and appearance are specified later in the [[new game]]), although this game intro is viewed in first-person from the perspective of the player inside the room.

At the beginning, the player is looking at a TV with a [[Nintendo Switch]] console. It is implied that the player character is playing a game on the Nintendo Switch, which may be an in-universe representation of the real-life person playing Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!

Although the TV initially only displays an empty light blue screen, the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|Partner]] {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}} soon appears in the TV. First, its tail and ears appear as it says its own name, then this Partner Pokémon looks at the player and jumps from the TV screen into the player's room.

The first-person view moves around (implying that the player is moving) as Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} jumps from the TV table to the ground, then runs to the player's lap and happily jumps back to the ground. Ultimately, this Partner Pokémon jumps onto the TV table and back inside the TV screen, and the player follows it into the TV screen as well.

Afterwards, the game screen becomes completely white, and then a black Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} silhouette runs from left to right, leaving a trail of stars that becomes the Pokémon logo. This logo moves to the top-left{{sup/7|P}}/top-right{{sup/7|E}} corner and expands into the full title screen of the current game, while Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} appears on a forest background, happily looking at the camera.

If the player does not leave the title screen yet, then Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} will start to happily walk around and look around its surroundings.

===[[Generation VIII]]===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
In {{game|Sword and Shield|s}}, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears in white on a black background. The game's camera pans to a stadium's spotlights, across the logos of various sponsors along the edge of the battlefield, and to empty bleachers. Finally, it moves through the challenger entrance of the stadium.

At the title screen, the game's logo is displayed with a shining effect and a white smoky border around it. If the player has not become the [[Champion]], there is a {{i|Poké Ball}} on top of a faded black X marked in the middle of the battlefield. The camera pans around the empty stadium from various perspectives, showing parts of the stadium in greater detail. Pokémon Sword and Shield are the first games in which the intro changes after the player has beaten the game; if the player has become the Champion, the [[player character]] and their [[party]] will be in the middle of the battlefield and the bleachers will be full of people. If the player idles on the title screen, it will fade to black, then replay the previous cutscene.

If the player presses A, a sound resembling the clanging of metal will play.

===[[Generation IX]]===
====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
In {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}}, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears in gray on a white background. Afterwards, it displays the title screen with the game's logo. There is a static illustration of a classroom with desks, a window with the sun shining through it, and floating specks of sunlight, all surrounded by a cloudy white frame. In the background is ambient noise such as footsteps, talking, [[Rotom Phone]]s, and the main theme song.

If the player has not viewed the credits, the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} will be on the bottom-left desk with a {{i|Poké Ball}} on top of it, it will be a sunny day outside, and the window will be closed. If the player has only viewed the credits for the base game, neither the book nor the Poké Ball will be present and the window will be open, showing the clouds, a tree, and the roof of the school. If the player has viewed the credits for [[The Teal Mask]] and [[The Indigo Disk]], the sun will be setting and the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} will appear on the bottom-left desk, rotated vertically from its previous position.

If the player presses A, a jingle resembling a school bell will play.

====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], the title screen and logo flashes into view. This is the first entry in the core series games since Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue in Generation I to not show the developer's logo in the game's intro. Occasionally, white horizontal {{wp|scan line}}s will appear on the logo for a brief amount of time. Additionally, the Z-A portion is animated individually from the rest of the logo. Inside of the Z, there are green streaks traveling through the hexagon lines in an upwards motion. On the dash, there are two small streaks of color that occasionally light up and travel around the perimeter, one in blue on the top-left and one in red on the bottom-right. Inside of the A, a rainbow gradient will occasionally appear traveling upwards, followed by streaks of white and light green traveling through the vine-like pattern at the bottom. Below the logo is a prompt to press A with a green shadow behind it. This prompt will be white if the player has not watched the credits or black if the player has watched the credits.

In the background are squares that fade in and out, as well as dots that travel upwards in a grid-like arrangement. If the player has not watched the credits, the background will be black, the squares will be gray, the dots will be green. If the player has watched the credits, the squares will be both gray and white and the dots will be white. Additionally, the background will be light shades of green, blue, and red, with the colors slowly rotating clockwise.

If the player does not have the DLC installed, there will be a black rounded text box in the bottom-right corner with white glowing text stating that DLC is available. Next to the text is a white shopping bag icon with a green, blue, and red gradient and a round, golden frame. Pressing - at this screen will take the player to the DLC's listing on the [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]]. Around it is a shadow in a gradient of green, blue, and red that slowly rotates counter-clockwise. If the player has the DLC installed, there will instead be gray text stating that the DLC is ready.

If the player presses A, a faint jingle will play. The game begins to load as this jingle is playing.

==In the spin-off games==

===Pinball series===
====Pokémon Pinball====
In [[Pokémon Pinball]], the [[main menu]] with {{p|Pikachu}}'s face and a large {{i|Poké Ball}} appears immediately after the copyright text, with no further introduction.

====Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire====
In [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire]], the game intro starts with a black screen and the white text "Pokémon Pinball". Specifically, the words are formed by the letters individually appearing, each of them quickly jumping once until the text is fully formed.

After a quick sparkle and an explosion in the background, a {{i|Poké Ball}} is sent towards the camera and then quickly travels through several scenes with different Pokémon (with the words "Pokémon Pinball" appearing several times in the background, written with different types and styles): {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Pichu}} with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Minun}} with {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, then the ball bounces between two {{p|Chinchou}}. In another scene, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Spoink}}, {{p|Pelipper}}, and {{p|Wailmer}} are seen bouncing, until Wailmer releases the Poké Ball from its mouth, launching this ball far away.

After the Poké Ball is launched, the [[main menu]] with the game logo appears. The logo includes Torchic, Pikachu, Mudkip, and Treecko holding onto the Poké Ball and Pichu holding onto Treecko's tail. In this logo screen, the ball appears larger than those five Pokémon.

==References to game intros==
===In the core series games===
In {{LGPE}}, the [[player's house|player's room]] has a {{p|Gengar}} vs. {{p|Nidorino}} battle poster, referencing the battle seen in the game intros from [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

===In animation===
====''[[Pokémon the Series]]''====

Game intro

2025-12-18T09:28:35Z

Jaminux: /* Pokémon Legends: Z-A */

The '''game intro''' is the series of cutscenes displayed before the start of a game.

==In the core series==
===[[Generation I]]===
====Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue====
In {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red, Green}}, and [[Pokémon Blue (Japan)|Blue]], as well as the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the game intro starts with the [[Game Freak]] logo and a shooting star, then stars of different colors fall below this logo.

After this, there is a short [[Pokémon battle]] cutscene (on a blank background):
* {{p|Gengar}} vs. {{p|Nidorino}}{{sup/1|RG}}
* Gengar vs. {{p|Jigglypuff}}{{sup/1|B}}

Due to {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Purple Jigglypuff oversight|an oversight}}, when Pokémon Blue is played in [[Color palette (Generations I–II)|color]], Jigglypuff appears purple instead of pink. This is a leftover from the battle between Gengar and Nidorino, as both are purple Pokémon.

At the end of the game intro, the [[player character]] {{ga|Red}} appears below the Pokémon game logo. He throws his [[Poké Ball]] up sometimes (he does not move; only the Poké Ball moves).

The respective [[first partner Pokémon]] with the same color as the current version appears with Red at first: {{p|Bulbasaur}}{{sup/1|G}}, {{p|Charmander}}{{sup/1|R}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|B}}. Some Pokémon then appear together with the player character, one Pokémon at a time. In each game version, there is a separate list of 16 Pokémon that can appear in this logo scene.

When the games are played in color, all these Pokémon from the logo scene have an unusual color palette. Specifically, they share the same color palette as the player (including dark purple and light pink colors). This is the same palette used in normal gameplay for {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Jynx}}.

These are the Pokémon seen together with the player Red in the title screen:

====Pokémon Yellow====
In {{game|Yellow}}, the game intro starts with the [[Game Freak]] logo and a shooting star, then stars of different colors fall below this logo.

After this, these cutscenes featuring {{p|Pikachu}} appear:
* A small Pikachu silhouette running towards the player
* Pikachu jumping while doing a flying kick
* A larger version of Pikachu running towards the player, this time colored red
* [[Surfing Pikachu]] in the sea
* An even larger version of Pikachu running towards the player
* [[Flying Pikachu]] (a Pikachu flying with balloons) in the sky
* Pikachu looking at the player and then using an {{t|electric}} move

At the end, a smiling Pikachu with a "Pika!" speech balloon appears below the game logo. He says his name "Pikachu" once, voiced by [[Ikue Otani]]. This is the main [[cry]] used by [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]] in places such as the Pokémon [[summary]].

=====Differences=====
When run on a [[Game Boy Color]], the international versions of Pokémon Yellow feature Pikachu with a separate color palette from the backgrounds it overlaps.

Normally, when games are run on a [[Super Game Boy]], both backgrounds and overlapping objects share the same color palettes. The Game Boy Color enhancement of Pokémon Yellow mimics these restrictions throughout the majority of the game, despite being capable of assigning different color palettes (regardless of overlapping). These introduction scenes are the only known portion of the game to disobey this "overlapping" restriction.

|}

=====Glitches=====
When run on a Super Game Boy, the international versions of Pokémon Yellow feature a bizarre graphical glitch when the introduction loops more than once.

Normally, color palette 16 (0x10) is intended for introduction scenes of Pikachu against a white background. Instead, the color palette information from the previous title screen is not correctly overwritten—which results in half of color palette 14 (0x0E) and half of color palette 16 displaying the screen. The color palettes are then changed at a later part in the introduction, such that color palette 16 and color palette 0 (0x00) are displaying the screen. Once the title screen is reached a second time, the "Pokémon" logo is displayed in color palette 16, with Pikachu displayed in color palette 0. Repeating the introduction again does not result in any further color palette changes - correct, or incorrect.
* Introduction scenes of Pikachu against a blue background (using color palette 37) are not affected by this graphical glitch.
* This graphical glitch is not present when the international version of Pokémon Yellow is run on a Game Boy Color.
* This graphical glitch is also not present when the japanese version of Pokémon Yellow is run on a Super Game Boy.

===[[Generation II]]===
====Pokémon Gold and Silver====
In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the game intro starts with a star quickly moving in a spiral, which turns into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

Then, three {{p|Shellder}} appear underwater. The camera goes upwards, revealing five {{p|Magikarp}} swimming (only four can be seen in clear sight), and then a {{p|Lapras}} travelling on the water surface. Lapras then swims out of view. The camera goes left and quickly transitions into a forest where a {{p|Jigglypuff}} is singing in a forest. A {{p|Pikachu}} appears and attacks Jigglypuff by jumping into it. The camera goes downwards.

In another cutscene, the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] appear one at a time ({{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}), while a {{p|Charizard}} outline appears on a black screen. The black screen then changes to white, revealing Charizard; it then uses a {{t|fire}} move.

The game logo then appears, with the respective [[Legendary Pokémon]]: {{p|Ho-Oh}} flying{{sup/2|G}} or {{p|Lugia}} swimming{{sup/2|S}}.

====Pokémon Crystal====
In {{game|Crystal}}, the game intro starts with a {{p|Ditto}} dropping in the middle of a black screen, which {{m|transform}}s into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

An {{p|Unown}} {{form|Unown|A}} appear on a black screen, uttering some noise and releasing some form of energy. There is then a separate scene with some grass. Unown I and H appear. It cuts back to the grass scene, where a {{p|Suicune}} silhouette runs across the screen. A {{p|Wooper}} and a {{p|Pichu}} appear in front of the grass, startled by the sound of Suicune running.

Unown U, W, G, T, B, E, S, L appears on the black screen. After that, Suicune appears more clearly running on the grass, until it jumps and an Unown F teleports in front of it. After Suicune looks at it, it jumps up, and the third group of Unown appear and surround Suicune. Suicune turns into a silhouette.

The word "Crystal" appears, written by [[Unown symbols|Unown letters]]. After that, a red-eyed purple Suicune silhouette is seen continuously running under the Pokémon Crystal logo.

===[[Generation III]]===
====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the game intro starts with some plants dripping dew on a puddle. Then, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears and disappears. The camera goes up, where mountains are seen on the horizon, then a small silhouette of an [[Eon duo]] Pokémon is seen flying towards a mountain.

Afterwards, it cuts to the following scene:
* In Pokémon Ruby, a forest is seen in the background. The sky is clear, and there are mountains behind the forest.
* In Pokémon Sapphire, the ocean is seen in the background. The sky is cloudy, and there are no mountains visible.

The [[player character]] is seen riding a [[bicycle]]. The [[gender]] of the player character is randomized each time the game is booted and the color of the bicycle is tied to whichever sprite is chosen, with {{ga|Brendan}} riding a blue bicycle and {{ga|May}} riding a green one. The flying [[Legendary Pokémon]] ({{p|Latios}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/3|S}}) is fully revealed as it appears flying closer, and then the player character slows down the bicycle and turns their head to look at it. The Pokémon flies out of view and the player character follows it.

After a quick [[Poké Ball]]-like battleground transition, a {{p|Sharpedo}} and then a {{p|Duskull}} move on the screen. The player character throws two {{i|Poké Ball}}s, sending {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Torchic}} out to battle. There is a [[Double Battle]] between them and the two foes (Sharpedo and Duskull), all four use moves, creating a large sphere in the middle. The Pokémon logo appears on a screen alternating between black to white, and then the respective [[super-ancient Pokémon]] appears ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}) with the full game logo.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the game intro starts with a shooting star with sparkles, which transitions into the Game Freak logo.

In the middle of a forest, there is a battle between a {{p|Gengar}} and a {{p|Nidorino}}; the Nidorino makes its [[cry]] and the Gengar flails at it. The Nidorino then jumps at the Gengar.

This battle transitions into a monochrome version of {{p|Charizard}}{{sup/3|FR}}/{{p|Venusaur}}{{sup/3|LG}}. This Pokémon is soon colorized (a red palette is applied to Charizard; a green palette is applied to Venusaur), and the game logo appears. In the FireRed background, there is some fire erupting; in the LeafGreen background, there are some leaves in the wind.

====Pokémon Emerald====
In {{game|Emerald}}, the game intro starts with the Game Freak logo appearing and disappearing, with some plants dripping dew on a puddle in the background. The camera pans up, showing mountains on the horizon, then a silhouette of a Pokémon is seen flying towards a mountain.

Afterwards, it cuts to a scene in a forest, where the [[player character]] is seen riding a [[bicycle]] (the gender of the player character is randomized each time the game is booted). The player character appear in their Emerald-style clothing and is riding a red bicycle. A {{p|Manectric}} and a {{p|Volbeat}} moves in the same direction as the player character, followed by a {{p|Torchic}} and the previous flying Pokémon revealed to be a {{p|Flygon}}. Everyone, excluding Torchic move out of view, just as the Torchic trips and falls to the ground. It gets up and quickly tries to catch up again.

After a quick [[Poké Ball]]-like battleground transition, a Groudon appears and growls with rocks rising, then a Kyogre appears with bubbles. After a short animation of clouds surrounding the sun, lightnings from the clouds reveal a {{p|Rayquaza}} shadow. Rayquaza then appears as a silhouette and shoots an energy beam in the direction of the player. The Pokémon logo appears on a screen alternating between black to white, and then the Rayquaza appears with the full game logo.

===[[Generation IV]]===
====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, some sparkles appear at the start of the intro, falling from the top DS screen to the bottom one. The Game Freak logo appears at the top, and the text "Game Freak presents" text at the bottom. Some sparkles fall again.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are the first [[core series]] games where the Pokémon logo appears at the start (rather than at the end) of the game intro. In those games, the Pokémon logo remains in black and white at the top screen during most of the game intro.

While the monochrome Pokémon logo is shown above, scenes from the [[Sinnoh]] overworld appear at the bottom screen. Some of these scenes use a regular camera angle, while others have a tilted camera angle. These scenes often have subtle differences from the actual gameplay.

The following overworld locations can be seen:
* The north of {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}
** In the game intro, {{tc|Aroma Lady}} Taylor is facing south near the stairs and thus would be easily avoidable by the player (rather than facing east near the grass, where the player must battle her to proceed in the game), {{tc|Bug Catcher}} Brandon is blocking the way between fences at the west in a way that would make the small area behind the fence permanently inaccessible to the player (while in actual gameplay he is near the east grass instead), and there is a {{tc|Youngster}} (possibly Youngster Tyler) near the grass in the east where Bug Catcher Brandon is located in normal gameplay.
** {{tc|Twins}} Liv & Liz, the east [[cuttable plant]], and the [[Awakening]] item ball are absent from the game intro.
* The south of [[Floaroma Town]] (seen once the camera moves north from Route 204)
** In the intro, there is a Bug Catcher west of the [[Pokémon Center]], a female character between the Pokémon Center and [[Poké Mart]], and a young girl near the Poké Mart (they are not seen in normal gameplay).
** In the intro, the female character near the Pokémon Center and the male character between the two west patches of flowers are absent.
** The male character near the sign and the female character near the flower shop have different sprites (or are different characters) between the game intro and the normal gameplay.
** The house to the west of the flower shop is smaller in the intro and has four rows of flowers at the east; in normal gameplay, this larger house has only three rows of flowers there.
* A small portion of the east of {{rt|205|Sinnoh}} (seen once the camera moves east from Floaroma Town)
* The northwest of Route 205
** There are two groups of three {{p|Starly}} quickly flying in the game intro.
** In the intro, the Bug Catcher near the exit of [[Eterna Forest]] is absent, although a Bug Catcher (possibly the same) is found near the place where {{tc|Picnicker}} Siena is located in normal gameplay.
** In the intro, a Picknicker (possibly Siena) is located in place of {{tc|Battle Girl}} Kelsey (which is absent from the intro).
** In the intro, {{tc|Camper}} Jacob appears to be on the bridge instead of being near the sign.
** {{tc|Hiker}}s Daniel and Nicholas appear to be absent from the intro as well, although a Hiker (possibly one of them) is seen north of the ledge near the four trees.
** Picnicker Karina and the four [[Underground]] air ducts near her are also absent from the intro.
** In the intro, there is a male character near the bottom level of the stairs south of the bridge.
** Aroma Lady Elizabeth is nearer to the grass in the intro.
** The [[Antidote]] (west of the grass patch north of the bridge) and the {{i|Poké Ball}} (at the lower level, west of the bridge) item balls are absent from the game intro.

After the overworld scenes are done, the male player character {{ga|Lucas}} is seen walking towards the camera, then {{p|Turtwig}} appears and uses a leaf move. The female player character {{ga|Dawn}} is seen walking towards the camera as well, with the rival {{ga|Barry}} in the background, then {{p|Chimchar}} appears and uses a fire move. Lucas and Dawn appear both walking together the same way as before, then {{p|Piplup}} appears and uses a bubble move.

The monochrome Pokémon logo disappears from the top screen. Both the top and bottom screens together form an image of [[Mount Coronet]] below a purple sky with lightning. The camera zooms in the mountain, and a diamond{{sup/4|D}}/pearl{{sup/4|P}} symbol appears at the bottom screen, while the Pokémon logo appears with the normal colors (rather than the previous black and white version) at the top, and forms the full game logo.

The diamond{{sup/4|D}}/pearl{{sup/4|P}} symbol zooms out to a CGI rendering of the respective [[Pokémon of myth]] ({{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}/{{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}) at the bottom screen, below the game logo (with normal colors).

====Pokémon Platinum====
In {{ga|Platinum}}, some sparkles appear at the start of the intro, falling from the top DS screen to the bottom one. The Game Freak logo appears at the top, and the text "Game Freak presents" text at the bottom. Some sparkles fall again.

A monochrome version of the Pokémon logo appears at the top screen, while the following overworld locations are seen on the bottom screen (some of these scenes use a regular camera angle, while others have a tilted camera angle. These scenes often have subtle differences from actual gameplay):
* The south of Route 204
** Youngster Tyler is located in a slightly different place.
** {{tc|Lass}} Samantha is absent from the intro.
** A Picnicker is in the game intro, near the north exit of the [[Ravaged Path]]. The Youngster that would normally be there is absent from the intro.
** The [[Paralyze Heal]] and Awakening item balls are absent from the game intro.
* The west of Eterna Forest
** The [[Moss Rock]] is absent from the intro. The rock and the four tiles with no grass found in normal gameplay are simply filled with grass in the intro.
** Bug Catcher Jack, Lass Briana, {{tc|Psychic}}s Kody and Rachael, and the other Bug Catcher near the west entrance are absent from the game intro.
* The north of Eterna City
** In the game intro, there is a Lass (near the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]]) and a male character (west of the Pokémon Center) that do not appear in normal gameplay.
** The male {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} west of the Pokémon Center is absent from the intro.
** The {{TM|46|Thief}} is absent from the intro.

Two characters introduced in Platinum appear as full body sprites in front of the Eterna City scene: [[Looker]] and then [[Charon]].

After the overworld scenes are done, the monochrome Pokémon logo disappears from the top screen. Both Lucas and Dawn (wearing their Platinum-style outfits) appear running together towards the camera: Lucas at the top screen and Dawn at the bottom screen. Lucas's background is filled with tall buildings and a clear sky, while Dawn's background is filled with small houses and a cloudy sky. Then they appear to battle each other, as each throws a Poké Ball. Lucas's Pokémon are {{p|Prinplup}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Torterra}}; Dawn's Pokémon are {{p|Infernape}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Grotle}}. Two of the three fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]], chosen at random each time, appear on the top and bottom screens respectively: Torterra uses a leaf move, Infernape uses a fire move, and {{p|Empoleon}} uses a bubble move. Lightning bolts strike both screens.

[[Cyrus]] appears and looks at the player on the bottom screen. A swirling black portal appears, from which {{p|Giratina}} looks at the player with red eyes and smiles. The camera then enters the portal. At the end, a CGI rendering of {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} {{p|Giratina}} appears at the bottom screen, below the game logo (with normal colors).

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the game intro starts with the white text "Game Freak presents" on a black background on the bottom screen. Once the opening animation starts, the text remains for a moment, before disappearing.

This short scene appears at the bottom screen, while the top screen displays the top portion of the sky:
* In HeartGold, the sun rises in the twilight sky, with some clouds. The sky is above a body of water, with pine trees at the sides. The sun stops, and seconds later {{p|Ho-Oh}} flies into the direction of the camera, and both screens become completely white.
* In SoulSilver, the moon rises in a clear night sky, without any clouds. The sky is above a body of water, with rocks at the sides. The moon stops, and seconds later {{p|Lugia}} flies into the direction of the camera, and both screens become completely white.

In another scene, the camera moves quickly above the grass in both screens, until it stops and the bottom screen becomes completely black. At the top screen, {{ga|Ethan}} is standing near some small houses. The camera moves right, and {{ga|Lyra}} is also standing with a similar pose. Each of them is holding a Poké Ball and looking at the camera. The camera moves up into a tree, and the scene changes again.

Some overworld scenes are seen at the top screen (while the bottom screen remains black). Some of these scenes use a regular camera angle, while others have a tilted camera angle. These scenes often have subtle differences from actual gameplay.

These are the overworld locations seen at the game intro:
* [[New Bark Town]]
** In the game intro, the blue fence at the right of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab is absent, the male NPC is located close to the [[player's house]] (instead of close to the opposite-gender rival), and the female NPC is located near the lab (instead of near the sign).
* [[Goldenrod City]]
** In the game intro, a Lass is near the [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Game Corner]] (but not in normal gameplay) and a {{tc|School Kid}} is located at the south entrance (instead of a {{tc|Beauty}} as in normal gameplay).
* [[Ecruteak City]]
** In the game intro, the Barrier Station (the house on the way to the [[Bell Tower]]) is missing the sign at the front. Both the Barrier Station and the smaller house to the left have a red color scheme (including red doors and windows), unlike in normal gameplay. The old man is also closer to it than in normal gameplay.
** The Lass is closer to the [[Burned Tower]] sign than in regular gameplay as well.

The top screen (where these locations appeared) becomes black, and on the bottom screen, the rival {{ga|Silver}} appears as a black silhouette on a red background, and then a full shot of his face.

This is quickly replaced by the faces of the [[Legendary beasts]] with blank eyes: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, and {{p|Raikou}}. Then, [[Eusine]] appears on their left as a full body sprite, and quickly disappears. Some {{p|Unown}} move on the screen and push the Legendary beasts out of view. The four [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Executive}}s ([[Proton]], [[Petrel]], [[Ariana]], and [[Archer]]) appear together, under the large "R" logo of their team.

In another scene, Ethan and Lyra quickly appear again, this time as close-ups of their faces: Ethan at the top screen with a silver-colored background, and Lyra at the bottom screen with a gold-colored background. {{p|Chikorita}} (at the bottom screen) uses a leaf move, then {{p|Cyndaquil}} (at the top screen) uses a fire move, and {{p|Totodile}} (at the bottom screen) uses a water move. Then, both screens become black.

Suicune appears (at the bottom-left corner of the screen) on a cliff, looking at the sea.

* In HeartGold, the camera goes up into the sky. In the bottom screen, a CGI rendering of {{p|Ho-Oh}} appears continuously flying in the sky. This scene is an enhanced remake of Ho-Oh flying at the end of Pokémon Gold's game intro.
* In SoulSilver, the camera goes down into the sea. In the bottom screen, a CGI rendering of {{p|Lugia}} appears continuously swimming under the water. This scene is an enhanced remake of Lugia swimming at the end of Pokémon Silver's game intro.

While the Legendary Pokémon is moving on the bottom screen, the game logo appears at the top screen. The camera occasionally goes closer or further from this Legendary Pokémon, or the camera moves and displays this Legendary Pokémon in another angle.

===[[Generation V]]===
====Pokémon Black and White====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the game intro starts with a star moving and hitting the ground, scattering letters of the [[Game Freak]] logo, before forming properly.

[[N's Castle]] appears on the top screen, where the coronation of [[N]] as king takes place. [[Ghetsis]] (face not shown) walks towards the throne with a crown in hand, while some members of the [[Seven Sages]] are at the side. The screen changes to the crown with Ghetsis's face in the background, before showing the throne. Then, Ghetsis raises his hands and the crown. N appears walking towards Ghetsis and a close-up side view shot of N is shown, before changing to a close-up shot of his eyes. He closes his eyes, while he reminisces himself as a child with a {{p|Darmanitan}}, a {{p|Zorua}}, and two {{p|Woobat}} in a forest. The camera zooms into young N. Back to the present, Ghetsis raises the crown while [[Anthea and Concordia]] watch on. Ghetsis places the crown on top of N's head and N opens his eyes. He raises his right hand and the camera pans out.

The following scenes then take place:
* The male [[player character]] {{ga|Hilbert}} crosses the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], while the word "Hopes!" appears.
* An {{p|Emolga}} is placed on a bed, while the word "Dreams!" appears.
* The female player character {{ga|Hilda}} passes through to the multi-player side of the [[Entralink]] and turns into a {{tc|Lass}}, while the word "Discoveries!" appears.
* A [[Gender|male]] {{p|Frillish}}, a {{p|Minccino}}, an {{p|Audino}}, and {{p|Pansage}} performing in the [[Pokémon Musical]], while the words "Adventures Await" appears.
* A [[Pokémon battle]] between a {{p|Haxorus}} and Darmanitan, with Haxorus using {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, while the words "You and Your Pokémon!" appears.

A CGI rendering of {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|B}} or {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}} appears at the bottom screen, below the game logo. The two screen switches place, with the top screen showing zoomed-in shots of the Pokémon, and the bottom screen with the game logo. If the player presses A or Start, the Pokémon will let out its cry and the camera shows a close-up shot of its face.

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
In {{B2W2}}, the game intro starts with a star moving and hitting the ground, scattering letters of the [[Game Freak]] logo, before forming properly.

A black silhouette of {{form|Kyurem|Black}} {{p|Kyurem}}{{sup/5|B2}}/white silhouette of White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} appears on the top screen, with the eyes and horn shining yellow. The game logo is then shown.

{{ga|Nate}} appears with a {{i|Poké Ball}} in hand and looks at the camera with {{ga|Rosa}} posing in the background. Both player characters switch places, with Rosa in the front with a Poké Ball and Nate in the back posing. {{p|Tepig}} appears while Nate walks in the [[Marine Tube]] in the background, {{p|Snivy}} appears while scenes from [[Pokéstar Studios]] are shown in the background, and {{p|Oshawott}} appears while Rosa activates the Entralink in the background. A group shot of several [[Team Plasma]] members (a male {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}, a female Team Plasma Grunt, a [[Shadow Triad]], and one of the Seven Sages), a shot of [[rival]] [[Hugh]] posing with a Poké Ball, then [[Colress]] holding a book appear. Colress closes the book.

A shot of crystal zooms out to a Zekrom with a blue background and outline of Black Kyurem behind it. The shot is followed by a view of a Reshiram with a red background that shows a silhouette of White Kyurem. Afterward, the [[Swords of Justice]] ({{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}), then regular Kyurem appear.

A CGI rendering of Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} appears at the bottom screen, below the game logo. The two screen switches place, with the top screen showing zoomed-in shots of the Pokémon, and the bottom screen with the game logo. If the player presses A or Start, the Pokémon will let out its cry and the camera shows a close-up shot of its face.

===[[Generation VI]]===
====Pokémon X and Y====
{{incomplete|section|Game Freak logo missing}}
In Pokémon X & Y the game intro starts with a light flash in the color and letter of their corresponding versions (Blue X for Pokémon X and a red Y for Pokémon Y respectively) which transitions to displaying the corresponding letter for each version. The Pokémon logo subsequently appears. And the corresponding version mascot legendary appears as a CGI render on the bottom screen. If left alone it's followed by a montage of in game footage of the segments where a trainer rides a Skiddo and Rhyhorn. Transitioning to a shot of Lumiose tower. Lumiose City itself and then the forest leading to the Battle Chateau. Before switching to footage of Torchic, Pikachu and Sylveon and footage of Pokémon Aime. Footage in a sports stadium, grinding on rails, showing the female trainer in different outfits. Ending with the animation of using the HM Fly.

===[[Generation VII]]===
====Pokémon Sun and Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, a nebulous view of a starry night is shown, quickly revealed to be a close up of the respective [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/ {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}, roaring and posing at the bottom screen, with the game logo above.

The respective celestial bodies of each game appear right behind the logo, moving to the upper right{{sup/7|S}}/left{{sup/7|M}} corner, while the respective Legendary Pokémon runs{{sup/7|S}}/flies{{sup/7|M}} until the shine of the heavenly body covers them.

The bottom screen turns to black, and in the top the female [[player character]], {{ga|Selene}}, is seen launching a {{i|Poké Ball}}, then {{p|Popplio}} appears with a blue background filled with bubbles and does a pirouette, followed by {{p|Rowlet}} in a green background flying to the front. The male player character, {{ga|Elio}}, is seen with a Poké Ball on his right hand and pointing to the sky with his left, then {{p|Litten}} appears, jumping towards the camera in a red background.

This is followed by small clips of multiple cinematics we can see in-game:
*Elio and a female {{p|Pikachu}} are about to start {{m|Catastropika}} and Selene with Pikachu finishing up the synchronized dance and pose for the same move.

*The [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] of [[Melemele Island]], [[Hala]], getting ready for a Grand Trial Battle.

*[[Gladion]], one of the game rivals and the Team Skull Enforcer, grabbing his right hand and posing, ready for battle.

*Elio pumping up a {{p|Rockruff}} in the middle of a {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}.

* Elio riding a [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Lapras}}, encountering {{p|Wishiwashi}}, the [[Totem Pokémon]] of [[Brooklet Hill]] under the rain.

*Another view of Catastropika, now being executed by a male Pikachu, against a {{p|Bewear}}.

*Rockruff's Breakneck Blitz connecting against a foe's {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}}.

*The first Totem Pokémon encountered by the player, {{p|Gumshoos}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}{{sup/7|M}} roaring in [[Verdant Cavern|Verdant Cave]].

* A quick glimpse of an {{p|Eevee}} in the middle of performing {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

Right after these, there are scenes from the Alolan overworld and non-battle oriented gameplay. The following locations can be seen:
*[[Hau'oli City]], a daytime view from above followed by a nighttime view at the beachfront.

*{{rt|7|Alola}}, showing Elio in Riding gear performing a Tauros Charge.

*{{rt|15|Alola}}, with Elio now surfing on a Poké Ride Sharpedo, destroying some breakable rocks.

*[[Melemele Meadow]], {{rt|3|Alola}}, specifically in a [[Poké Finder]] photo spot zooming in to take a picture of a {{p|Cutiefly}} and a {{fd|Oricorio|Pom-Pom Style}} {{p|Oricorio}}.

*Near [[tall grass]], a session of [[Pokémon Refresh]] with a {{p|Togedemaru}}, being groomed with a comb.

*The Alolan high sea, with Elio and [[Hau]] riding on [[Professor Kukui]]'s boat on their way from Melemele to [[Akala Island|Akala]].

*[[Mahalo Trail]], with [[Lillie]], Selene, and [[Nebby]] surprised looking at {{p|Tapu Koko}} (off view).

The top screen turns black and the Legendary Pokémon reappear, moving towards the camera. After a bright light, both CGI models are now on the lower screen right as the game logos come back on top, we get a quick 360 degree shot of the CGI models, followed by a zoom in into their faces and a final pose.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
{{incomplete|section|Game Freak logo missing}}
In {{LGPE}}, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears, and changes to the [[player's house|player's room]]. The player character is not seen (until their gender and appearance are specified later in the [[new game]]), although this game intro is viewed in first-person from the perspective of the player inside the room.

At the beginning, the player is looking at a TV with a [[Nintendo Switch]] console. It is implied that the player character is playing a game on the Nintendo Switch, which may be an in-universe representation of the real-life person playing Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!

Although the TV initially only displays an empty light blue screen, the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|Partner]] {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}} soon appears in the TV. First, its tail and ears appear as it says its own name, then this Partner Pokémon looks at the player and jumps from the TV screen into the player's room.

The first-person view moves around (implying that the player is moving) as Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} jumps from the TV table to the ground, then runs to the player's lap and happily jumps back to the ground. Ultimately, this Partner Pokémon jumps onto the TV table and back inside the TV screen, and the player follows it into the TV screen as well.

Afterwards, the game screen becomes completely white, and then a black Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} silhouette runs from left to right, leaving a trail of stars that becomes the Pokémon logo. This logo moves to the top-left{{sup/7|P}}/top-right{{sup/7|E}} corner and expands into the full title screen of the current game, while Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} appears on a forest background, happily looking at the camera.

If the player does not leave the title screen yet, then Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} will start to happily walk around and look around its surroundings.

===[[Generation VIII]]===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
In {{game|Sword and Shield|s}}, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears in white on a black background. The game's camera pans to a stadium's spotlights, across the logos of various sponsors along the edge of the battlefield, and to empty bleachers. Finally, it moves through the challenger entrance of the stadium.

At the title screen, the game's logo is displayed with a shining effect and a white smoky border around it. If the player has not become the [[Champion]], there is a {{i|Poké Ball}} on top of a faded black X marked in the middle of the battlefield. The camera pans around the empty stadium from various perspectives, showing parts of the stadium in greater detail. Pokémon Sword and Shield are the first games in which the intro changes after the player has beaten the game; if the player has become the Champion, the [[player character]] and their [[party]] will be in the middle of the battlefield and the bleachers will be full of people. If the player idles on the title screen, it will fade to black, then replay the previous cutscene.

If the player presses A, a sound resembling the clanging of metal will play.

===[[Generation IX]]===
====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
In {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}}, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears in gray on a white background. Afterwards, it displays the title screen with the game's logo. There is a static illustration of a classroom with desks, a window with the sun shining through it, and floating specks of sunlight, all surrounded by a cloudy white frame. In the background is ambient noise such as footsteps, talking, [[Rotom Phone]]s, and the main theme song.

If the player has not viewed the credits, the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} will be on the bottom-left desk with a {{i|Poké Ball}} on top of it, it will be a sunny day outside, and the window will be closed. If the player has only viewed the credits for the base game, neither the book nor the Poké Ball will be present and the window will be open, showing the clouds, a tree, and the roof of the school. If the player has viewed the credits for [[The Teal Mask]] and [[The Indigo Disk]], the sun will be setting and the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} will appear on the bottom-left desk, rotated vertically from its previous position.

If the player presses A, a jingle resembling a school bell will play.

====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], the title screen and logo flashes into view. This is the first entry in the core series game since Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue in Generation I to not show the developer's logo in the game's logo. Occasionally, white horizontal {{wp|scan line}}s will appear on the logo for a brief amount of time. Additionally, the Z-A portion is animated individually from the rest of the logo. Inside of the Z, there are green streaks traveling through the hexagon lines in an upwards motion. On the dash, there are two small streaks of color that occasionally light up and travel around the perimeter, one in blue on the top-left and one in red on the bottom-right. Inside of the A, a rainbow gradient will occasionally appear traveling upwards, followed by streaks of white and light green traveling through the vine-like pattern at the bottom. Below the logo is a prompt to press A with a green shadow behind it. This prompt will be white if the player has not watched the credits or black if the player has watched the credits.

In the background are squares that fade in and out, as well as dots that travel upwards in a grid-like arrangement. If the player has not watched the credits, the background will be black, the squares will be gray, the dots will be green. If the player has watched the credits, the squares will be both gray and white and the dots will be white. Additionally, the background will be light shades of green, blue, and red, with the colors slowly rotating clockwise.

If the player does not have the DLC installed, there will be a black rounded text box in the bottom-right corner with white glowing text stating that DLC is available. Next to the text is a white shopping bag icon with a green, blue, and red gradient and a round, golden frame. Pressing - at this screen will take the player to the DLC's listing on the [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]]. Around it is a shadow in a gradient of green, blue, and red that slowly rotates counter-clockwise. If the player has the DLC installed, there will instead be gray text stating that the DLC is ready.

If the player presses A, a faint jingle will play. The game begins to load as this jingle is playing.

====Pokémon Pinball====
In [[Pokémon Pinball]], the [[main menu]] with {{p|Pikachu}}'s face and a large {{i|Poké Ball}} appears immediately after the copyright text, with no further introduction.

====Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire====
In [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire]], the game intro starts with a black screen and the white text "Pokémon Pinball". Specifically, the words are formed by the letters individually appearing, each of them quickly jumping once until the text is fully formed.

After a quick sparkle and an explosion in the background, a {{i|Poké Ball}} is sent towards the camera and then quickly travels through several scenes with different Pokémon (with the words "Pokémon Pinball" appearing several times in the background, written with different types and styles): {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Pichu}} with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Minun}} with {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, then the ball bounces between two {{p|Chinchou}}. In another scene, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Spoink}}, {{p|Pelipper}}, and {{p|Wailmer}} are seen bouncing, until Wailmer releases the Poké Ball from its mouth, launching this ball far away.

After the Poké Ball is launched, the [[main menu]] with the game logo appears. The logo includes Torchic, Pikachu, Mudkip, and Treecko holding onto the Poké Ball and Pichu holding onto Treecko's tail. In this logo screen, the ball appears larger than those five Pokémon.

Game intro

2025-12-18T09:23:55Z

Jaminux: /* Generation IX */ Added explanation for Z-A and checked for Game Freak logo

The '''game intro''' is the series of cutscenes displayed before the start of a game.

==In the core series==
===[[Generation I]]===
====Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue====
In {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red, Green}}, and [[Pokémon Blue (Japan)|Blue]], as well as the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the game intro starts with the [[Game Freak]] logo and a shooting star, then stars of different colors fall below this logo.

After this, there is a short [[Pokémon battle]] cutscene (on a blank background):
* {{p|Gengar}} vs. {{p|Nidorino}}{{sup/1|RG}}
* Gengar vs. {{p|Jigglypuff}}{{sup/1|B}}

Due to {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Purple Jigglypuff oversight|an oversight}}, when Pokémon Blue is played in [[Color palette (Generations I–II)|color]], Jigglypuff appears purple instead of pink. This is a leftover from the battle between Gengar and Nidorino, as both are purple Pokémon.

At the end of the game intro, the [[player character]] {{ga|Red}} appears below the Pokémon game logo. He throws his [[Poké Ball]] up sometimes (he does not move; only the Poké Ball moves).

The respective [[first partner Pokémon]] with the same color as the current version appears with Red at first: {{p|Bulbasaur}}{{sup/1|G}}, {{p|Charmander}}{{sup/1|R}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|B}}. Some Pokémon then appear together with the player character, one Pokémon at a time. In each game version, there is a separate list of 16 Pokémon that can appear in this logo scene.

When the games are played in color, all these Pokémon from the logo scene have an unusual color palette. Specifically, they share the same color palette as the player (including dark purple and light pink colors). This is the same palette used in normal gameplay for {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Jynx}}.

These are the Pokémon seen together with the player Red in the title screen:

====Pokémon Yellow====
In {{game|Yellow}}, the game intro starts with the [[Game Freak]] logo and a shooting star, then stars of different colors fall below this logo.

After this, these cutscenes featuring {{p|Pikachu}} appear:
* A small Pikachu silhouette running towards the player
* Pikachu jumping while doing a flying kick
* A larger version of Pikachu running towards the player, this time colored red
* [[Surfing Pikachu]] in the sea
* An even larger version of Pikachu running towards the player
* [[Flying Pikachu]] (a Pikachu flying with balloons) in the sky
* Pikachu looking at the player and then using an {{t|electric}} move

At the end, a smiling Pikachu with a "Pika!" speech balloon appears below the game logo. He says his name "Pikachu" once, voiced by [[Ikue Otani]]. This is the main [[cry]] used by [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]] in places such as the Pokémon [[summary]].

=====Differences=====
When run on a [[Game Boy Color]], the international versions of Pokémon Yellow feature Pikachu with a separate color palette from the backgrounds it overlaps.

Normally, when games are run on a [[Super Game Boy]], both backgrounds and overlapping objects share the same color palettes. The Game Boy Color enhancement of Pokémon Yellow mimics these restrictions throughout the majority of the game, despite being capable of assigning different color palettes (regardless of overlapping). These introduction scenes are the only known portion of the game to disobey this "overlapping" restriction.

|}

=====Glitches=====
When run on a Super Game Boy, the international versions of Pokémon Yellow feature a bizarre graphical glitch when the introduction loops more than once.

Normally, color palette 16 (0x10) is intended for introduction scenes of Pikachu against a white background. Instead, the color palette information from the previous title screen is not correctly overwritten—which results in half of color palette 14 (0x0E) and half of color palette 16 displaying the screen. The color palettes are then changed at a later part in the introduction, such that color palette 16 and color palette 0 (0x00) are displaying the screen. Once the title screen is reached a second time, the "Pokémon" logo is displayed in color palette 16, with Pikachu displayed in color palette 0. Repeating the introduction again does not result in any further color palette changes - correct, or incorrect.
* Introduction scenes of Pikachu against a blue background (using color palette 37) are not affected by this graphical glitch.
* This graphical glitch is not present when the international version of Pokémon Yellow is run on a Game Boy Color.
* This graphical glitch is also not present when the japanese version of Pokémon Yellow is run on a Super Game Boy.

===[[Generation II]]===
====Pokémon Gold and Silver====
In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the game intro starts with a star quickly moving in a spiral, which turns into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

Then, three {{p|Shellder}} appear underwater. The camera goes upwards, revealing five {{p|Magikarp}} swimming (only four can be seen in clear sight), and then a {{p|Lapras}} travelling on the water surface. Lapras then swims out of view. The camera goes left and quickly transitions into a forest where a {{p|Jigglypuff}} is singing in a forest. A {{p|Pikachu}} appears and attacks Jigglypuff by jumping into it. The camera goes downwards.

In another cutscene, the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] appear one at a time ({{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}), while a {{p|Charizard}} outline appears on a black screen. The black screen then changes to white, revealing Charizard; it then uses a {{t|fire}} move.

The game logo then appears, with the respective [[Legendary Pokémon]]: {{p|Ho-Oh}} flying{{sup/2|G}} or {{p|Lugia}} swimming{{sup/2|S}}.

====Pokémon Crystal====
In {{game|Crystal}}, the game intro starts with a {{p|Ditto}} dropping in the middle of a black screen, which {{m|transform}}s into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

An {{p|Unown}} {{form|Unown|A}} appear on a black screen, uttering some noise and releasing some form of energy. There is then a separate scene with some grass. Unown I and H appear. It cuts back to the grass scene, where a {{p|Suicune}} silhouette runs across the screen. A {{p|Wooper}} and a {{p|Pichu}} appear in front of the grass, startled by the sound of Suicune running.

Unown U, W, G, T, B, E, S, L appears on the black screen. After that, Suicune appears more clearly running on the grass, until it jumps and an Unown F teleports in front of it. After Suicune looks at it, it jumps up, and the third group of Unown appear and surround Suicune. Suicune turns into a silhouette.

The word "Crystal" appears, written by [[Unown symbols|Unown letters]]. After that, a red-eyed purple Suicune silhouette is seen continuously running under the Pokémon Crystal logo.

===[[Generation III]]===
====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the game intro starts with some plants dripping dew on a puddle. Then, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears and disappears. The camera goes up, where mountains are seen on the horizon, then a small silhouette of an [[Eon duo]] Pokémon is seen flying towards a mountain.

Afterwards, it cuts to the following scene:
* In Pokémon Ruby, a forest is seen in the background. The sky is clear, and there are mountains behind the forest.
* In Pokémon Sapphire, the ocean is seen in the background. The sky is cloudy, and there are no mountains visible.

The [[player character]] is seen riding a [[bicycle]]. The [[gender]] of the player character is randomized each time the game is booted and the color of the bicycle is tied to whichever sprite is chosen, with {{ga|Brendan}} riding a blue bicycle and {{ga|May}} riding a green one. The flying [[Legendary Pokémon]] ({{p|Latios}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/3|S}}) is fully revealed as it appears flying closer, and then the player character slows down the bicycle and turns their head to look at it. The Pokémon flies out of view and the player character follows it.

After a quick [[Poké Ball]]-like battleground transition, a {{p|Sharpedo}} and then a {{p|Duskull}} move on the screen. The player character throws two {{i|Poké Ball}}s, sending {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Torchic}} out to battle. There is a [[Double Battle]] between them and the two foes (Sharpedo and Duskull), all four use moves, creating a large sphere in the middle. The Pokémon logo appears on a screen alternating between black to white, and then the respective [[super-ancient Pokémon]] appears ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}) with the full game logo.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the game intro starts with a shooting star with sparkles, which transitions into the Game Freak logo.

In the middle of a forest, there is a battle between a {{p|Gengar}} and a {{p|Nidorino}}; the Nidorino makes its [[cry]] and the Gengar flails at it. The Nidorino then jumps at the Gengar.

This battle transitions into a monochrome version of {{p|Charizard}}{{sup/3|FR}}/{{p|Venusaur}}{{sup/3|LG}}. This Pokémon is soon colorized (a red palette is applied to Charizard; a green palette is applied to Venusaur), and the game logo appears. In the FireRed background, there is some fire erupting; in the LeafGreen background, there are some leaves in the wind.

====Pokémon Emerald====
In {{game|Emerald}}, the game intro starts with the Game Freak logo appearing and disappearing, with some plants dripping dew on a puddle in the background. The camera pans up, showing mountains on the horizon, then a silhouette of a Pokémon is seen flying towards a mountain.

Afterwards, it cuts to a scene in a forest, where the [[player character]] is seen riding a [[bicycle]] (the gender of the player character is randomized each time the game is booted). The player character appear in their Emerald-style clothing and is riding a red bicycle. A {{p|Manectric}} and a {{p|Volbeat}} moves in the same direction as the player character, followed by a {{p|Torchic}} and the previous flying Pokémon revealed to be a {{p|Flygon}}. Everyone, excluding Torchic move out of view, just as the Torchic trips and falls to the ground. It gets up and quickly tries to catch up again.

After a quick [[Poké Ball]]-like battleground transition, a Groudon appears and growls with rocks rising, then a Kyogre appears with bubbles. After a short animation of clouds surrounding the sun, lightnings from the clouds reveal a {{p|Rayquaza}} shadow. Rayquaza then appears as a silhouette and shoots an energy beam in the direction of the player. The Pokémon logo appears on a screen alternating between black to white, and then the Rayquaza appears with the full game logo.

===[[Generation IV]]===
====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, some sparkles appear at the start of the intro, falling from the top DS screen to the bottom one. The Game Freak logo appears at the top, and the text "Game Freak presents" text at the bottom. Some sparkles fall again.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are the first [[core series]] games where the Pokémon logo appears at the start (rather than at the end) of the game intro. In those games, the Pokémon logo remains in black and white at the top screen during most of the game intro.

While the monochrome Pokémon logo is shown above, scenes from the [[Sinnoh]] overworld appear at the bottom screen. Some of these scenes use a regular camera angle, while others have a tilted camera angle. These scenes often have subtle differences from the actual gameplay.

The following overworld locations can be seen:
* The north of {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}
** In the game intro, {{tc|Aroma Lady}} Taylor is facing south near the stairs and thus would be easily avoidable by the player (rather than facing east near the grass, where the player must battle her to proceed in the game), {{tc|Bug Catcher}} Brandon is blocking the way between fences at the west in a way that would make the small area behind the fence permanently inaccessible to the player (while in actual gameplay he is near the east grass instead), and there is a {{tc|Youngster}} (possibly Youngster Tyler) near the grass in the east where Bug Catcher Brandon is located in normal gameplay.
** {{tc|Twins}} Liv & Liz, the east [[cuttable plant]], and the [[Awakening]] item ball are absent from the game intro.
* The south of [[Floaroma Town]] (seen once the camera moves north from Route 204)
** In the intro, there is a Bug Catcher west of the [[Pokémon Center]], a female character between the Pokémon Center and [[Poké Mart]], and a young girl near the Poké Mart (they are not seen in normal gameplay).
** In the intro, the female character near the Pokémon Center and the male character between the two west patches of flowers are absent.
** The male character near the sign and the female character near the flower shop have different sprites (or are different characters) between the game intro and the normal gameplay.
** The house to the west of the flower shop is smaller in the intro and has four rows of flowers at the east; in normal gameplay, this larger house has only three rows of flowers there.
* A small portion of the east of {{rt|205|Sinnoh}} (seen once the camera moves east from Floaroma Town)
* The northwest of Route 205
** There are two groups of three {{p|Starly}} quickly flying in the game intro.
** In the intro, the Bug Catcher near the exit of [[Eterna Forest]] is absent, although a Bug Catcher (possibly the same) is found near the place where {{tc|Picnicker}} Siena is located in normal gameplay.
** In the intro, a Picknicker (possibly Siena) is located in place of {{tc|Battle Girl}} Kelsey (which is absent from the intro).
** In the intro, {{tc|Camper}} Jacob appears to be on the bridge instead of being near the sign.
** {{tc|Hiker}}s Daniel and Nicholas appear to be absent from the intro as well, although a Hiker (possibly one of them) is seen north of the ledge near the four trees.
** Picnicker Karina and the four [[Underground]] air ducts near her are also absent from the intro.
** In the intro, there is a male character near the bottom level of the stairs south of the bridge.
** Aroma Lady Elizabeth is nearer to the grass in the intro.
** The [[Antidote]] (west of the grass patch north of the bridge) and the {{i|Poké Ball}} (at the lower level, west of the bridge) item balls are absent from the game intro.

After the overworld scenes are done, the male player character {{ga|Lucas}} is seen walking towards the camera, then {{p|Turtwig}} appears and uses a leaf move. The female player character {{ga|Dawn}} is seen walking towards the camera as well, with the rival {{ga|Barry}} in the background, then {{p|Chimchar}} appears and uses a fire move. Lucas and Dawn appear both walking together the same way as before, then {{p|Piplup}} appears and uses a bubble move.

The monochrome Pokémon logo disappears from the top screen. Both the top and bottom screens together form an image of [[Mount Coronet]] below a purple sky with lightning. The camera zooms in the mountain, and a diamond{{sup/4|D}}/pearl{{sup/4|P}} symbol appears at the bottom screen, while the Pokémon logo appears with the normal colors (rather than the previous black and white version) at the top, and forms the full game logo.

The diamond{{sup/4|D}}/pearl{{sup/4|P}} symbol zooms out to a CGI rendering of the respective [[Pokémon of myth]] ({{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}/{{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}) at the bottom screen, below the game logo (with normal colors).

====Pokémon Platinum====
In {{ga|Platinum}}, some sparkles appear at the start of the intro, falling from the top DS screen to the bottom one. The Game Freak logo appears at the top, and the text "Game Freak presents" text at the bottom. Some sparkles fall again.

A monochrome version of the Pokémon logo appears at the top screen, while the following overworld locations are seen on the bottom screen (some of these scenes use a regular camera angle, while others have a tilted camera angle. These scenes often have subtle differences from actual gameplay):
* The south of Route 204
** Youngster Tyler is located in a slightly different place.
** {{tc|Lass}} Samantha is absent from the intro.
** A Picnicker is in the game intro, near the north exit of the [[Ravaged Path]]. The Youngster that would normally be there is absent from the intro.
** The [[Paralyze Heal]] and Awakening item balls are absent from the game intro.
* The west of Eterna Forest
** The [[Moss Rock]] is absent from the intro. The rock and the four tiles with no grass found in normal gameplay are simply filled with grass in the intro.
** Bug Catcher Jack, Lass Briana, {{tc|Psychic}}s Kody and Rachael, and the other Bug Catcher near the west entrance are absent from the game intro.
* The north of Eterna City
** In the game intro, there is a Lass (near the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]]) and a male character (west of the Pokémon Center) that do not appear in normal gameplay.
** The male {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} west of the Pokémon Center is absent from the intro.
** The {{TM|46|Thief}} is absent from the intro.

Two characters introduced in Platinum appear as full body sprites in front of the Eterna City scene: [[Looker]] and then [[Charon]].

After the overworld scenes are done, the monochrome Pokémon logo disappears from the top screen. Both Lucas and Dawn (wearing their Platinum-style outfits) appear running together towards the camera: Lucas at the top screen and Dawn at the bottom screen. Lucas's background is filled with tall buildings and a clear sky, while Dawn's background is filled with small houses and a cloudy sky. Then they appear to battle each other, as each throws a Poké Ball. Lucas's Pokémon are {{p|Prinplup}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Torterra}}; Dawn's Pokémon are {{p|Infernape}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Grotle}}. Two of the three fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]], chosen at random each time, appear on the top and bottom screens respectively: Torterra uses a leaf move, Infernape uses a fire move, and {{p|Empoleon}} uses a bubble move. Lightning bolts strike both screens.

[[Cyrus]] appears and looks at the player on the bottom screen. A swirling black portal appears, from which {{p|Giratina}} looks at the player with red eyes and smiles. The camera then enters the portal. At the end, a CGI rendering of {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} {{p|Giratina}} appears at the bottom screen, below the game logo (with normal colors).

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the game intro starts with the white text "Game Freak presents" on a black background on the bottom screen. Once the opening animation starts, the text remains for a moment, before disappearing.

This short scene appears at the bottom screen, while the top screen displays the top portion of the sky:
* In HeartGold, the sun rises in the twilight sky, with some clouds. The sky is above a body of water, with pine trees at the sides. The sun stops, and seconds later {{p|Ho-Oh}} flies into the direction of the camera, and both screens become completely white.
* In SoulSilver, the moon rises in a clear night sky, without any clouds. The sky is above a body of water, with rocks at the sides. The moon stops, and seconds later {{p|Lugia}} flies into the direction of the camera, and both screens become completely white.

In another scene, the camera moves quickly above the grass in both screens, until it stops and the bottom screen becomes completely black. At the top screen, {{ga|Ethan}} is standing near some small houses. The camera moves right, and {{ga|Lyra}} is also standing with a similar pose. Each of them is holding a Poké Ball and looking at the camera. The camera moves up into a tree, and the scene changes again.

Some overworld scenes are seen at the top screen (while the bottom screen remains black). Some of these scenes use a regular camera angle, while others have a tilted camera angle. These scenes often have subtle differences from actual gameplay.

These are the overworld locations seen at the game intro:
* [[New Bark Town]]
** In the game intro, the blue fence at the right of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab is absent, the male NPC is located close to the [[player's house]] (instead of close to the opposite-gender rival), and the female NPC is located near the lab (instead of near the sign).
* [[Goldenrod City]]
** In the game intro, a Lass is near the [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Game Corner]] (but not in normal gameplay) and a {{tc|School Kid}} is located at the south entrance (instead of a {{tc|Beauty}} as in normal gameplay).
* [[Ecruteak City]]
** In the game intro, the Barrier Station (the house on the way to the [[Bell Tower]]) is missing the sign at the front. Both the Barrier Station and the smaller house to the left have a red color scheme (including red doors and windows), unlike in normal gameplay. The old man is also closer to it than in normal gameplay.
** The Lass is closer to the [[Burned Tower]] sign than in regular gameplay as well.

The top screen (where these locations appeared) becomes black, and on the bottom screen, the rival {{ga|Silver}} appears as a black silhouette on a red background, and then a full shot of his face.

This is quickly replaced by the faces of the [[Legendary beasts]] with blank eyes: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, and {{p|Raikou}}. Then, [[Eusine]] appears on their left as a full body sprite, and quickly disappears. Some {{p|Unown}} move on the screen and push the Legendary beasts out of view. The four [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Executive}}s ([[Proton]], [[Petrel]], [[Ariana]], and [[Archer]]) appear together, under the large "R" logo of their team.

In another scene, Ethan and Lyra quickly appear again, this time as close-ups of their faces: Ethan at the top screen with a silver-colored background, and Lyra at the bottom screen with a gold-colored background. {{p|Chikorita}} (at the bottom screen) uses a leaf move, then {{p|Cyndaquil}} (at the top screen) uses a fire move, and {{p|Totodile}} (at the bottom screen) uses a water move. Then, both screens become black.

Suicune appears (at the bottom-left corner of the screen) on a cliff, looking at the sea.

* In HeartGold, the camera goes up into the sky. In the bottom screen, a CGI rendering of {{p|Ho-Oh}} appears continuously flying in the sky. This scene is an enhanced remake of Ho-Oh flying at the end of Pokémon Gold's game intro.
* In SoulSilver, the camera goes down into the sea. In the bottom screen, a CGI rendering of {{p|Lugia}} appears continuously swimming under the water. This scene is an enhanced remake of Lugia swimming at the end of Pokémon Silver's game intro.

While the Legendary Pokémon is moving on the bottom screen, the game logo appears at the top screen. The camera occasionally goes closer or further from this Legendary Pokémon, or the camera moves and displays this Legendary Pokémon in another angle.

===[[Generation V]]===
====Pokémon Black and White====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the game intro starts with a star moving and hitting the ground, scattering letters of the [[Game Freak]] logo, before forming properly.

[[N's Castle]] appears on the top screen, where the coronation of [[N]] as king takes place. [[Ghetsis]] (face not shown) walks towards the throne with a crown in hand, while some members of the [[Seven Sages]] are at the side. The screen changes to the crown with Ghetsis's face in the background, before showing the throne. Then, Ghetsis raises his hands and the crown. N appears walking towards Ghetsis and a close-up side view shot of N is shown, before changing to a close-up shot of his eyes. He closes his eyes, while he reminisces himself as a child with a {{p|Darmanitan}}, a {{p|Zorua}}, and two {{p|Woobat}} in a forest. The camera zooms into young N. Back to the present, Ghetsis raises the crown while [[Anthea and Concordia]] watch on. Ghetsis places the crown on top of N's head and N opens his eyes. He raises his right hand and the camera pans out.

The following scenes then take place:
* The male [[player character]] {{ga|Hilbert}} crosses the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], while the word "Hopes!" appears.
* An {{p|Emolga}} is placed on a bed, while the word "Dreams!" appears.
* The female player character {{ga|Hilda}} passes through to the multi-player side of the [[Entralink]] and turns into a {{tc|Lass}}, while the word "Discoveries!" appears.
* A [[Gender|male]] {{p|Frillish}}, a {{p|Minccino}}, an {{p|Audino}}, and {{p|Pansage}} performing in the [[Pokémon Musical]], while the words "Adventures Await" appears.
* A [[Pokémon battle]] between a {{p|Haxorus}} and Darmanitan, with Haxorus using {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, while the words "You and Your Pokémon!" appears.

A CGI rendering of {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|B}} or {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}} appears at the bottom screen, below the game logo. The two screen switches place, with the top screen showing zoomed-in shots of the Pokémon, and the bottom screen with the game logo. If the player presses A or Start, the Pokémon will let out its cry and the camera shows a close-up shot of its face.

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
In {{B2W2}}, the game intro starts with a star moving and hitting the ground, scattering letters of the [[Game Freak]] logo, before forming properly.

A black silhouette of {{form|Kyurem|Black}} {{p|Kyurem}}{{sup/5|B2}}/white silhouette of White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} appears on the top screen, with the eyes and horn shining yellow. The game logo is then shown.

{{ga|Nate}} appears with a {{i|Poké Ball}} in hand and looks at the camera with {{ga|Rosa}} posing in the background. Both player characters switch places, with Rosa in the front with a Poké Ball and Nate in the back posing. {{p|Tepig}} appears while Nate walks in the [[Marine Tube]] in the background, {{p|Snivy}} appears while scenes from [[Pokéstar Studios]] are shown in the background, and {{p|Oshawott}} appears while Rosa activates the Entralink in the background. A group shot of several [[Team Plasma]] members (a male {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}, a female Team Plasma Grunt, a [[Shadow Triad]], and one of the Seven Sages), a shot of [[rival]] [[Hugh]] posing with a Poké Ball, then [[Colress]] holding a book appear. Colress closes the book.

A shot of crystal zooms out to a Zekrom with a blue background and outline of Black Kyurem behind it. The shot is followed by a view of a Reshiram with a red background that shows a silhouette of White Kyurem. Afterward, the [[Swords of Justice]] ({{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}), then regular Kyurem appear.

A CGI rendering of Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} appears at the bottom screen, below the game logo. The two screen switches place, with the top screen showing zoomed-in shots of the Pokémon, and the bottom screen with the game logo. If the player presses A or Start, the Pokémon will let out its cry and the camera shows a close-up shot of its face.

===[[Generation VI]]===
====Pokémon X and Y====
{{incomplete|section|Game Freak logo missing}}
In Pokémon X & Y the game intro starts with a light flash in the color and letter of their corresponding versions (Blue X for Pokémon X and a red Y for Pokémon Y respectively) which transitions to displaying the corresponding letter for each version. The Pokémon logo subsequently appears. And the corresponding version mascot legendary appears as a CGI render on the bottom screen. If left alone it's followed by a montage of in game footage of the segments where a trainer rides a Skiddo and Rhyhorn. Transitioning to a shot of Lumiose tower. Lumiose City itself and then the forest leading to the Battle Chateau. Before switching to footage of Torchic, Pikachu and Sylveon and footage of Pokémon Aime. Footage in a sports stadium, grinding on rails, showing the female trainer in different outfits. Ending with the animation of using the HM Fly.

===[[Generation VII]]===
====Pokémon Sun and Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, a nebulous view of a starry night is shown, quickly revealed to be a close up of the respective [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/ {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}, roaring and posing at the bottom screen, with the game logo above.

The respective celestial bodies of each game appear right behind the logo, moving to the upper right{{sup/7|S}}/left{{sup/7|M}} corner, while the respective Legendary Pokémon runs{{sup/7|S}}/flies{{sup/7|M}} until the shine of the heavenly body covers them.

The bottom screen turns to black, and in the top the female [[player character]], {{ga|Selene}}, is seen launching a {{i|Poké Ball}}, then {{p|Popplio}} appears with a blue background filled with bubbles and does a pirouette, followed by {{p|Rowlet}} in a green background flying to the front. The male player character, {{ga|Elio}}, is seen with a Poké Ball on his right hand and pointing to the sky with his left, then {{p|Litten}} appears, jumping towards the camera in a red background.

This is followed by small clips of multiple cinematics we can see in-game:
*Elio and a female {{p|Pikachu}} are about to start {{m|Catastropika}} and Selene with Pikachu finishing up the synchronized dance and pose for the same move.

*The [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] of [[Melemele Island]], [[Hala]], getting ready for a Grand Trial Battle.

*[[Gladion]], one of the game rivals and the Team Skull Enforcer, grabbing his right hand and posing, ready for battle.

*Elio pumping up a {{p|Rockruff}} in the middle of a {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}.

* Elio riding a [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Lapras}}, encountering {{p|Wishiwashi}}, the [[Totem Pokémon]] of [[Brooklet Hill]] under the rain.

*Another view of Catastropika, now being executed by a male Pikachu, against a {{p|Bewear}}.

*Rockruff's Breakneck Blitz connecting against a foe's {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}}.

*The first Totem Pokémon encountered by the player, {{p|Gumshoos}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}{{sup/7|M}} roaring in [[Verdant Cavern|Verdant Cave]].

* A quick glimpse of an {{p|Eevee}} in the middle of performing {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

Right after these, there are scenes from the Alolan overworld and non-battle oriented gameplay. The following locations can be seen:
*[[Hau'oli City]], a daytime view from above followed by a nighttime view at the beachfront.

*{{rt|7|Alola}}, showing Elio in Riding gear performing a Tauros Charge.

*{{rt|15|Alola}}, with Elio now surfing on a Poké Ride Sharpedo, destroying some breakable rocks.

*[[Melemele Meadow]], {{rt|3|Alola}}, specifically in a [[Poké Finder]] photo spot zooming in to take a picture of a {{p|Cutiefly}} and a {{fd|Oricorio|Pom-Pom Style}} {{p|Oricorio}}.

*Near [[tall grass]], a session of [[Pokémon Refresh]] with a {{p|Togedemaru}}, being groomed with a comb.

*The Alolan high sea, with Elio and [[Hau]] riding on [[Professor Kukui]]'s boat on their way from Melemele to [[Akala Island|Akala]].

*[[Mahalo Trail]], with [[Lillie]], Selene, and [[Nebby]] surprised looking at {{p|Tapu Koko}} (off view).

The top screen turns black and the Legendary Pokémon reappear, moving towards the camera. After a bright light, both CGI models are now on the lower screen right as the game logos come back on top, we get a quick 360 degree shot of the CGI models, followed by a zoom in into their faces and a final pose.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
{{incomplete|section|Game Freak logo missing}}
In {{LGPE}}, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears, and changes to the [[player's house|player's room]]. The player character is not seen (until their gender and appearance are specified later in the [[new game]]), although this game intro is viewed in first-person from the perspective of the player inside the room.

At the beginning, the player is looking at a TV with a [[Nintendo Switch]] console. It is implied that the player character is playing a game on the Nintendo Switch, which may be an in-universe representation of the real-life person playing Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!

Although the TV initially only displays an empty light blue screen, the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|Partner]] {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}} soon appears in the TV. First, its tail and ears appear as it says its own name, then this Partner Pokémon looks at the player and jumps from the TV screen into the player's room.

The first-person view moves around (implying that the player is moving) as Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} jumps from the TV table to the ground, then runs to the player's lap and happily jumps back to the ground. Ultimately, this Partner Pokémon jumps onto the TV table and back inside the TV screen, and the player follows it into the TV screen as well.

Afterwards, the game screen becomes completely white, and then a black Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} silhouette runs from left to right, leaving a trail of stars that becomes the Pokémon logo. This logo moves to the top-left{{sup/7|P}}/top-right{{sup/7|E}} corner and expands into the full title screen of the current game, while Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} appears on a forest background, happily looking at the camera.

If the player does not leave the title screen yet, then Pikachu{{sup/7|P}}/Eevee{{sup/7|E}} will start to happily walk around and look around its surroundings.

===[[Generation VIII]]===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
In {{game|Sword and Shield|s}}, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears in white on a black background. The game's camera pans to a stadium's spotlights, across the logos of various sponsors along the edge of the battlefield, and to empty bleachers. Finally, it moves through the challenger entrance of the stadium.

At the title screen, the game's logo is displayed with a shining effect and a white smoky border around it. If the player has not become the [[Champion]], there is a {{i|Poké Ball}} on top of a faded black X marked in the middle of the battlefield. The camera pans around the empty stadium from various perspectives, showing parts of the stadium in greater detail. Pokémon Sword and Shield are the first games in which the intro changes after the player has beaten the game; if the player has become the Champion, the [[player character]] and their [[party]] will be in the middle of the battlefield and the bleachers will be full of people. If the player idles on the title screen, it will fade to black, then replay the previous cutscene.

If the player presses A, a sound resembling the clanging of metal will play.

===[[Generation IX]]===
====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
In {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}}, the [[Game Freak]] logo appears in gray on a white background. Afterwards, it displays the title screen with the game's logo. There is a static illustration of a classroom with desks, a window with the sun shining through it, and floating specks of sunlight, all surrounded by a cloudy white frame. In the background is ambient noise such as footsteps, talking, [[Rotom Phone]]s, and the main theme song.

If the player has not viewed the credits, the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} will be on the bottom-left desk with a {{i|Poké Ball}} on top of it, it will be a sunny day outside, and the window will be closed. If the player has only viewed the credits for the base game, neither the book nor the Poké Ball will be present and the window will be open, showing the clouds, a tree, and the roof of the school. If the player has viewed the credits for [[The Teal Mask]] and [[The Indigo Disk]], the sun will be setting and the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} will appear on the bottom-left desk, rotated vertically from its previous position.

If the player presses A, a jingle resembling a school bell will play.

====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], the title screen and logo flashes into view. Unlike previous entries on the Nintendo Switch, the Game Freak logo does not appear in the intro. Occasionally, white horizontal {{wp|scan line}}s will appear on the logo for a brief amount of time. Additionally, the Z-A portion is animated individually from the rest of the logo. Inside of the Z, there are green streaks traveling through the hexagon lines in an upwards motion. On the dash, there are two small streaks of color that occasionally light up and travel around the perimeter, one in blue on the top-left and one in red on the bottom-right. Inside of the A, a rainbow gradient will occasionally appear traveling upwards, followed by streaks of white and light green traveling through the vine-like pattern at the bottom. Below the logo is a prompt to press A with a green shadow behind it. This prompt will be white if the player has not watched the credits or black if the player has watched the credits.

In the background are squares that fade in and out, as well as dots that travel upwards in a grid-like arrangement. If the player has not watched the credits, the background will be black, the squares will be gray, the dots will be green. If the player has watched the credits, the squares will be both gray and white and the dots will be white. Additionally, the background will be light shades of green, blue, and red, with the colors slowly rotating clockwise.

If the player does not have the DLC installed, there will be a black rounded text box in the bottom-right corner with white glowing text stating that DLC is available. Next to the text is a white shopping bag icon with a green, blue, and red gradient and a round, golden frame. Pressing - at this screen will take the player to the DLC's listing on the [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]]. Around it is a shadow in a gradient of green, blue, and red that slowly rotates counter-clockwise. If the player has the DLC installed, there will instead be gray text stating that the DLC is ready.

If the player presses A, a faint jingle will play. The game begins to load as this jingle is playing.

==In the spin-off games==

===Pinball series===
====Pokémon Pinball====
In [[Pokémon Pinball]], the [[main menu]] with {{p|Pikachu}}'s face and a large {{i|Poké Ball}} appears immediately after the copyright text, with no further introduction.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; background:#{{Pokémon color}}; border:3px solid #{{Pokémon color dark}}" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="3"

! class="roundybottom" style="background:#CCCCCC" |Pokémon Pinball
|}

====Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire====
In [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire]], the game intro starts with a black screen and the white text "Pokémon Pinball". Specifically, the words are formed by the letters individually appearing, each of them quickly jumping once until the text is fully formed.

After a quick sparkle and an explosion in the background, a {{i|Poké Ball}} is sent towards the camera and then quickly travels through several scenes with different Pokémon (with the words "Pokémon Pinball" appearing several times in the background, written with different types and styles): {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Pichu}} with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Minun}} with {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, then the ball bounces between two {{p|Chinchou}}. In another scene, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Spoink}}, {{p|Pelipper}}, and {{p|Wailmer}} are seen bouncing, until Wailmer releases the Poké Ball from its mouth, launching this ball far away.

After the Poké Ball is launched, the [[main menu]] with the game logo appears. The logo includes Torchic, Pikachu, Mudkip, and Treecko holding onto the Poké Ball and Pichu holding onto Treecko's tail. In this logo screen, the ball appears larger than those five Pokémon.

Talk:List of character ages

2025-12-17T22:47:01Z

Jaminux: /* Michael/XD protagonist */ Reply

==Jessie and James==
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been thinking that maybe Jessie and James are "at least 25" instead of the current claim that they are exactly 25.

It appears that Jessie and James are currently said to be 25 years old based on that quote claiming that Ash and Misty are 10 years too young to focus on romance while Jessie and James are 5 years too old. But here's a question: 20 years old is considered the only exact age to focus on romance or is it just a lower bound of a range of possible ages?

For instance, if maybe 20-23 is the ideal age range to focus on romance, Jessie and James would be 28 years old based on that quote. Or if maybe 20-29 is the ideal range, Jessie and James would be 34. So all those possible ranges would be summed up as "at least 25". --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 20:06, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
:Jessie specifically is definitely older than 25, because in [[XY082]] she mentions that her Pumpkaboo is the only one who remembered her birthday, which must have happened after she caught her. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 20:38, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
::Pretty sure James said they're "five years older that that", not "five years too old for that". But shouldn't this mean Jessie is 26 as of [[XY082]]? {{unsigned|Inkster}}
:::It'd mean that she is at least 26. I'm with Daniel Carrero on this one, I don't think that one offhand comment means they're exactly 25 years old. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 06:25, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
::::Yes, I agree about her age being at least 26. So it was at least 25 at the time of that offhand comment about romance, and then it's currently at least 26 because of her birthday. The page currently says she is exactly 26 years old.
::::I'm also thinking that even her birthday may not be exactly proof that just 1 year passed for her. Maybe she could have had multiple birthdays and just mentioned that one. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 06:39, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

== Michael/XD protagonist ==

The page for [[Michael]] refers to him as a teenager which I feel should be on this page. (I saw that this was on his page, I almost just went with the fact that I knew it from my own playthrough :3)

Personally, I lean towards him being 14-16. (More towards 15 and 16)

I get it not being ''confirmed'' but I feel it should be here since it could give pointers to his real age. [[User:Skunkmommy|Skunkmommy]] ([[User talk:Skunkmommy|talk]]) 21:38, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

:I went ahead and added him since confirmed age ranges are also included in the article. [[User:Jaminux|Jaminux]] ([[User talk:Jaminux|talk]]) 22:47, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

'''Ralts''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラルトス''' ''Ralts'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to Generation VI, it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Kirlia}} starting at [[level]] 20, which evolves into {{p|Gardevoir}} starting at level 30 or, if male, {{p|Gallade}} when exposed to a [[Dawn Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:280Ralts XY anime.png|thumb|left|90px|Ralts's eyes seen from below]]
Ralts is a humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a white body. It has thin arms and legs that widen toward the feet. There is a wispy extension trailing off the back of its feet, creating the overall impression of a nightgown or oversized dress. Most of its face is covered by green hair that resembles a {{wp|bowl cut}}, but a pair of pinkish-red eyes is sometimes visible. There are two flat, red horns on top of its head: a large one toward the front and a smaller one at the back.

Ralts uses the horns to read people and Pokémon's emotions. Warm feelings cause its body to warm as well, but it hides if it senses hostility. If its {{pkmn|Trainer}} is in a cheerful mood, Ralts also becomes cheerful and joyous. It is known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, but it does not normally show itself to humans. However, when it senses happy feelings, it will approach people. Ralts prefers to hang out with people of cheerful nature more than those with gloomy natures. Regardless, Ralts will show no discrimination to anyone based on age or gender. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, when a Ralts is seen smiling in its sleep, that means something good has happened during that day.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Ralts evolves into {{p|Kirlia}}, which evolves into either {{p|Gardevoir}} or, if [[Gender|male]], {{p|Gallade}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* Ralts's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] of {{v2|Platinum}} and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] are the same: 157.
* Ralts's {{g|Trozei!}} sprite is the only one where its eyes are visible. In [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Pokémon Colosseum]], and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], one can see them if one were to view Ralts from below in the Pokédex/Trainer memo; however, it is not a sprite.
* Ralts is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 198.
** This is also the lowest base stat total of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
* Despite the fact that [[Wally]] {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} his Ralts on Route 102 at level 5 in the [[Hoenn]] games, it is impossible for the {{player}} to catch a level 5 Ralts in the entire game, except through the [[DexNav]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}.
* As of [[Generation VIII]], Ralts and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Amorphous}} and {{egg|Human-Like}} [[Egg Group]]s.

===Origin===
Ralts seems to be based on a young child and the concept of {{wp|empathy}}. It is common in various forms of media for shy, sensitive characters to be depicted with hair obscuring their eyes, which may explain Ralts's {{wp|bowl cut}} hairstyle. The shape of its legs resemble a long dress, and the red horns on its head resemble two halves of a {{wp|heart shape|heart}}, which may relate to its ability to sense emotions.

Ralts and its evolutionary line also bear a strong resemblance to the {{wp|elf|meadow elves}}, who were believed to possess magical powers and supernatural beauty. These beings were often ambivalent toward ordinary people, capable of either helping or hindering them. The word ''elf'' in {{wp|Germanic|Germanic}} languages originally meant "white being," which may explain why they were often depicted wearing white tights. By the end of the medieval period, the word ''elf'' was frequently supplanted by the French loanword ''fairy,'' which may explain their {{t|Fairy}} typing starting from [[Generation VI]].

====Name origin====
Ralts may be a partial anagram of ''{{wp|astral body|astral}}'' (relating to its Psychic powers). It may also involve ''{{wp|waltz}}'' (referring to its dancer-like evolved forms).

'''Yancy''' (Japanese: '''ルリ''' ''Ruri''), otherwise known under the screen name '''Nancy''' (Japanese: '''ルッコ''' ''Rukko''), is a character that appears in {{B2W2}} if the {{player}}'s gender is male. She is the female counterpart to [[Curtis]].

==In the core series games==
Yancy is first encountered after the male player picks up the [[Dropped Item]] ([[Xtransceiver]]) in [[Nimbasa City]]. Upon obtaining the item, Yancy calls it from an old phone and identifies herself as the owner of the lost Xtransceiver. However, she is busy at work and is unable to retrieve it at the time, so she asks the male player to hold onto it until she is free from work.

Yancy will call her Xtransceiver when the male player is in specific locations around [[Unova]]. Yancy will slowly learn about the player through her initial nine calls. What she learns about him is based on what the player answered in the [[Passerby Analytics HQ]] surveys in [[Castelia City]]. At the tenth call, Yancy would inform the player that she is finally free from work and would like to retrieve her [[Xtransceiver]] back in [[Nimbasa City]]. It is here that Yancy meets the male player for the first time as her initial calls were audio only so neither knew what each other looked like. She gratefully takes her Xtransceiver back and exchanges numbers with the male player as she wishes to talk to him more.

After returning her Xtransceiver, the game will randomly select one of the 15 areas that she calls him initially and the male player can call her from anywhere in that area. The area will change every subsequent time she is called or the game is loaded, whether she is talked to or not, but sometimes, the male player can even call multiple times while in the same area. From the 11th through 19th calls, Yancy tells the male player more about herself. Calls twenty through twenty-nine, Yancy will ask the male player for advice or opinions about things. After the 30th call, Yancy will ask the player to ride at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel with her. After the first call of every next day, Yancy will ask the player for a Ferris Wheel ride, and if the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], she will offer to trade Pokémon after the ride. Pokémon traded from her have [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]], are at [[level]] 50, and have no predetermined [[Nature]], [[gender]], or [[individual values]]. It is possible to receive multiples of the same species.

From the 31st through 49th calls (except the Ferris-Wheel-ride calls), Yancy will say any of a variety of things. On the 50th call, she will accidentally pick up the phone while at work, revealing Yancy in her working outfit. During the 51st call, she will apologize about the previous call being cut off, lying to the player that the one who answered was her coworker.

Yancy, as Nancy, appears in various television shows as a celebrity idol, regardless of the player's gender.

===Contact areas===
Yancy will automatically call the player on any one of fifteen specific spots. They can only be triggered once. Each spot is only located at one specific tile.
*[[Nimbasa City]] (behind the Battle Institute)
*[[Driftveil City]] (on top of the northern hill, below the {{tc|Worker}} guarding the [[Clay Tunnel]] entrance)
*[[Lentimas Town]] (on the path behind the northern house towards the hill with the [[Fire Stone]])
*[[Mistralton City]] (on the southern half of the runway, in the center of the lane)
*[[Undella Town]] (southwest corner, up the stairs and between the two boulders)
*[[Lacunosa Town]] (under the bridge in the center of town)
*{{rt|5|Unova}} (on the other side of the southern fence, towards the Hyper Potion)
*{{rt|6|Unova}} (just above the two shortcut ledges on the south end of the route, east side of the stream)
*{{rt|7|Unova}} (on the path between the {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and the southern house)
*{{rt|9|Unova}} (at the left of [[Shopping Mall Nine]], near the L-shaped bush)
*{{rt|11|Unova}} (in front of the truck, between it and the stream)
*{{rt|12|Unova}} (on the highest hill, lower-leftmost square)
*{{rt|13|Unova}} (on the south beach, between the running {{tc|Ace Trainer}} and the {{tc|Fisher|Fisherman}} on a sandy corner by the water's edge)
*{{rt|14|Unova}} (towards the [[Abundant Shrine]], on top of the waterfall with a small square of land on the right, west of the {{tc|Backpacker}})
*{{rt|16|Unova}} (west side of the route, south of the {{tc|Rail Staff|Depot Agent}} and north of the male {{tc|Cyclist}}, middle of the road)

===[[Trade]]d to the player===
Yancy will trade the male player a different Pokémon each day in this order, if the previous one has already been traded. Fused {{p|Kyurem}} and {{pkmn|Egg}}s cannot be traded to Yancy.

Yancy debuted in ''[[PS525|The Transfer Student]]''. She was first seen in tears as her boyfriend {{adv|Blake}} broke up with her stating that their relationship was interfering with Yancy's career as an idol. It was later revealed that Blake only went out with her to find out if she was a member of the previously defeated [[Team Plasma]]. After concluding that she wasn't a member, Blake crossed out Yancy's name and her stage name Nancy off a list of possible suspects.

In ''[[PS548|Epilogue]]'', Yancy played the role of {{p|Foongus}} Girl in a [[Brycen-Man Series|Brycen-Man]] film alongside [[Curtis]], who played {{p|Dewott}} Kid.

==Trivia==
*Starting with the thirtieth call, Yancy's sprite will begin to blush when talking on the Xtransceiver, implying she has developed feelings for the male player, just like her male counterpart, [[Curtis]], has for the female player.
*The Pokémon traded to Yancy by the player can occasionally appear with her in her various television shows.
**If she is traded a Pokémon that can [[evolve]] when traded, however, it will not evolve upon being traded to her and will remain its original species.
**Similarly, if she is traded a [[nickname]]d Pokémon, the television will instead display its species name.
*Yancy will occasionally talk about other regions, which she has visited on business trips: [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. This list includes every region that appears in the [[core series]] prior to [[Generation V]].
**She has unique dialogue for each of these regions and will trade the player a Pokémon that was originally discovered in the mentioned region and is holding the region's [[Pokémon food#Local specialty|local specialty]]. For example, if she mentions Hoenn, she will trade the player a {{p|Ralts}}, {{p|Mawile}}, or {{p|Spinda}} that is holding a [[Lava Cookie]].
***Excluding Kanto, she will mention the local specialty in her dialogue about the region.

Mint

2025-11-28T04:43:50Z

Jaminux: /* Mechanics */

{{samename|female player character from [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]]|Mint (TCG GB)}}
{{samename|sleep-curing berry from Generation II|Mint Berry}}
A '''mint''' (Japanese: '''ミント''' ''mint'') is a type of consumable [[item]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that changes the effect of a Pokémon's [[Nature]] on its [[Statistic|stats]].

==Mechanics==
When used from the [[Bag]] or [[satchel]]{{sup/8|LA}}{{sup/9|ZA}} on a Pokémon, it changes its Nature-based stat increase and decrease to that of the Nature corresponding to the mint used.

This does not change the Pokémon's actual Nature and therefore will not affect effects that care about it, such as a Pokémon's [[flavor]] preferences, {{p|Toxel}}'s [[Evolution]] into {{p|Toxtricity}}, the Nature of [[wild Pokémon]] encountered using {{a|Synchronize}}, and the Nature that would be inherited from [[breeding]].

Mint's stat changes never get passed down via breeding; the offspring's Nature-based stat growth at birth will always match its actual Nature.

==Acquisition==
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, mints can be purchased at the {{gal|Battle Tower}} for 50 [[Battle Point|BP]]. They are also awarded at random each time the player achieves a higher rank for the first time in the Battle Tower. Mints can also be found scattered around the [[Isle of Armor]] and [[Crown Tundra]] as randomly spawned overworld items each day.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, mints can be purchased at the {{si|Battle Park}} for 50 BP.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, mints can be acquired from the farm in [[Jubilife Village]] by requesting a Mint Harvest for {{pdollar}}10,000. The types of mints received from harvests are random.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, mints can be bought from [[Chansey Supply]] stores for {{pdollar}}20,000 each. They can also be obtained as prizes from the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], as well as 5★ and 6★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. In [[Kitakami]], mints can be obtained from [[Ogre Oustin']].

In {{g|Legends Z-A}}, mints that increase Attack, Special Attack, Defense, and Special Defense can be bought in [[Rouge Sector 1]] located in an alley in-between [[Autumnal Avenue]] and [[Rouge Plaza]]. Mints that increase Speed can be bought in [[Vert Sector 6]] at a stand next to the water to the north of [[Restaurant Le Nah]].

A '''Mega Ring''' (Japanese: '''メガリング''' ''Mega Ring'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is a [[Key Stone]] accessory that enables [[Mega Evolution]].

Its counterpart in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} is the [[Mega Bracelet]].

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon X and Y===
At the [[Tower of Mastery]], [[Gurkinn]] offers a single Mega Ring to the {{player}} and their friends, but due to only having a single Mega Ring to give away, requests that they decide among themselves who should receive it. Of the group, only the player and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} are interested in receiving it, so the two battle to decide who should receive it. Upon defeating Serena/Calem, the player must obtain the {{badge|Rumble}} at the [[Shalour Gym]] and then go to the top of the [[Tower of Mastery]] to receive the ring from [[Korrina]].

After the player has defeated their rival in [[Kiloude City]] once, [[Professor Sycamore]] will upgrade the player's Mega Ring at the [[Anistar City|Anistar Sundial]] by having the player touch the sundial. Once upgraded, the player can then find hidden [[Mega Stone]]s around [[Kalos]] from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
[[File:Mega Ring ZA.png|thumb|200px|Mega Ring in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}]]
The Mega Ring is given to the player by [[AZ]] before battling the [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] {{p|Absol}} as part of [[Main Mission|Main Mission 10: The Secrets of Mega Evolution]]. The Mega Ring is not visible as an item in the satchel.

===Non-player character appearances===
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], after the player has visited Kiloude City and participated in a battle at the [[Battle Maison]], Calem/Serena will battle the player once per day at the northern part of the city, having obtained their own Mega Ring.
* In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}} and [[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} use Mega Rings during the [[Delta Episode]], although they are not seen on their artwork.
* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]] use white Mega Rings, which they each wear around their left wrist, though only Dexio has the opportunity to use it outside the [[Battle Tree]].

'''AZ''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|ＡＺ|エーゼット}}''') is a character who appears in {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is the former king of the [[Kalos]] region, the creator of the [[ultimate weapon]], and the original owner of [[Hotel Z]].

His name is pronounced as the two letters separately ("A Z").

==In the core series games==
===Appearance===
In X and Y, he has the appearance of a disheveled homeless man, while in Legends: Z-A, he sports more formal wear.

===History===
====Background====
3,000 years prior to the events of {{g|X and Y}}, a war broke out in [[Kalos]]. This long conflict was drawn out and many lives were lost. People treated Pokémon with special powers as mere tools in their conflict, so they gathered lots of Pokémon, including Pokémon with unique powers. In order to emerge victorious, the soldiers believed that they needed even more powerful Pokémon. AZ loved his [[Pokémon X and Y beta#Eternal Flower Floette|Floette]], which he had received from his late mother, but it was forcefully taken from him by the soldiers and became just another sacrifice in the war.<ref name="Game Informer">[https://web.archive.org/web/20190714022848/https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2014/02/14/afterwords-unabridged-pokemon-x-and-y.aspx Game Informer]: Afterwords – Pokémon X & Y ''Game Informer'' (Archived on August 2, 2024)</ref>

AZ received the body of his beloved Pokémon several years later, and out of unspeakable grief, he built a machine to restore it to life. This machine was powered up by the [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}} (or both{{sup/9|ZA}} [[Legendary Pokémon]]).<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]—that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]. [[AZ]] nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> He succeeded, but unable to overcome his despair, he turned the machine into the [[ultimate weapon]], with which he destroyed both sides of the conflict, ending the war. His Floette, disgusted with the fact that the machine was powered by the life energy of other Pokémon, left him. Due to his exposure to the ultimate weapon, he had his lifespan extended and gained an incredible height.<ref name="Game Informer" />

As revealed by documents kept in [[Lysandre Labs]], AZ's younger brother had wished to claim Kalos out of his own greed. After AZ ended the war with the ultimate weapon, his brother realized the error of his ways and sought to make amends for his actions by burying the weapon, in an attempt to prevent it from ever being used again.

After his Floette left, AZ started aimlessly wandering around the world. AZ had an encounter with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Kalos]] region at some point.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"I remember my encoutners [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Kalos]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> 3,000 years prior to {{G|Sword and Shield}}, AZ travelled to [[Galar]] and witnessed the [[Darkest Day]].<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"I remember when that [[Darkest Day|dark day]] fell over [[Galar]]..."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> 2,000 years prior to the events of Pokémon X and Y, AZ was approached by a powerful man. He asked for his help to protect Kalos so instead of making another device that would take from others, he decided to build one that would share the eternal life he had bestowed on Floette, [[Ange]], which was hidden inside [[Prism Tower]]. AZ planned to use it once he reunited with Floette, but the device would lay dormant until the events of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. 1,000 years prior to the events of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, AZ travelled to [[Hoenn]], planted a tree in front of the [[Cave of Origin]] (where an "Eternal Flower" can be found), and later witnessed the cataclysmic battle of {{me|Rayquaza}} with [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"A witness to this series of events, a tall [[AZ|visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]], said, “It is the {{p|Rayquaza|Δ (Delta)}}, born of the great disturbances in this [[Pokémon world|world]].

====Pokémon X and Y====
[[File:AZ Introduction.png|thumb|250px|left|The player encountering AZ on {{rt|13|Kalos}}]]
AZ is first seen on {{rt|13|Kalos}}. When the {{player}} encounters him, he mutters about "the flower Pokémon," then leaves.

[[Lysandre]] captures AZ and takes the ultimate weapon's key from around his neck, so that he can use it to destroy all life except [[Team Flare]]. The player encounters him in a cell in the lowest levels of [[Lysandre Labs]], where he tells the player the story of the history of Kalos.

After the player defeats Lysandre once and for all in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] beneath [[Geosenge Town]], AZ—now freed from his prison—approaches and thanks them for stopping the weapon from being used again.
[[File:AZ holding Floette.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Floette}} returning to AZ after 3,000 years during the parade]]
After the player defeats [[Diantha]] for the first time to become {{pkmn|Champion}}, during the parade in [[Lumiose City]] to celebrate the player's success, AZ approaches the stage and challenges the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}, wishing to learn about what a {{pkmn|Trainer}} truly is. After the battle, AZ smiles, thanking the player for freeing him from his long torment. Then, he sees a sparkle in the sky. Having sensed the liberation of AZ's heart, his beloved {{p|Floette}}—who was granted eternal life alongside AZ 3,000 years earlier—finally returns to him. AZ collapses to his knees, overjoyed that his Pokémon has finally returned. He is not seen again after this.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
Although not by name, AZ is mentioned several times during the [[Delta Episode]] of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

[[Mr. Stone]] mentions that his grandfather used [[Infinity Energy]], the same energy used by the ultimate weapon, to improve the lives of people and Pokémon alike, which the [[Devon Corporation]] used to grow into one of the top industries in [[Hoenn]].

When the player overhears [[Wallace]]'s conversation with his master, they discuss that the tree planted in front of the entrance to the [[Cave of Origin]] was given to the people of {{ci|Sootopolis}} by a "huge man who visited from the Kalos region". Underneath the tree there is a flower of the same kind as the one carried by AZ's Floette.

At the [[Sky Pillar]], [[Zinnia]] tells the player that 1,000 years ago, "a tall visitor from a distant land" witnessed how {{me|Rayquaza}} stopped a fight between [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}. He is quoted to have said, "It is the Δ (Delta), born of the great disturbances in this world. By the bonds born of mankind's wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world."

====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====
In the five years following the events of X and Y, AZ purchases a property in [[Lumiose City]] and establishes [[Hotel Z]], with the intention of living out the remainder of his life there alongside his Floette. Due to the recent activation of the [[ultimate weapon]] by [[Team Flare]], AZ anticipates the reawakening of [[Ange]], embedded deep within the [[Prism Tower]], and warns [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] of the device's existence. Together, they later witness a disturbance at the tower resulting in the release of [[Mega Power]]. As a consequence, wild Pokémon are drawn to the city in droves, and some are forced to Mega Evolve on their own, a phenomenon that would come to be known as "[[Rogue Mega Evolution]]". AZ warns Quasartico of the need to locate a trainer capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his Floette and using Mega Floette to deactivate the device.

Heeding his warning, Quasartico establish the [[Z-A Royale]] with the ulterior goal of locating the strongest [[Mega Evolution]] user in Lumiose City. They promise competitors that whoever reaches Rank A will be granted a wish, provided it is within the company's power to do so. Quasartico close Prism Tower and begin constructing a confinement structure to contain the Mega Power being emitted. During this time, AZ befriends a group of youths who begin to work for the hotel in exchange for room and board: [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]]. Together, the youths form a collective known as [[Team MZ]], with the hope of drumming up business at the hotel which sees few guests. They are soon recruited by Quasartico to assist in handling the Rogue Mega Evolution phenomenon, which the company have covertly been attempting to suppress for two years.

The {{player}} arrives to Lumiose City, and quickly befriends the leader of the group, Urbain/Taunie, who invites them stay and join. Before arriving the hotel for the first time, Urbain/Taunie's partner Pokémon bring the player's travel bag to AZ, causing him to worry. Upon meeting with the player, he tells them that his fears were unfounded and that he believes the player's arrival to be fate. He quietly observes a [[Zygarde Cell]] emerging from the player's bag, before giving them the key to Room 202. AZ is delighted to learn of the player joining the Z-A Royale, cryptically informing them that if they reach the top rank they will be able to free Lumiose City at last.

Throughout most of the game, AZ resides behind the reception desk of Hotel Z. He dispenses sage advice to the player, urging them to bond with their Pokémon, and to experience and understand the city and its inhabitants so that they may best protect and serve them. He frequently makes reference to his aging body, reflects on his past, and is seen to have an irregular cough. Some time later {{p|Zygarde}} leads the player and [[Emma]] to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}} in the [[Jaune District]]. AZ is alerted to the incident by his Floette, and arrives in time to give the player a [[Mega Ring]]. He loans the player his {{p|Lucario}} and instructs them to Mega Evolve it so they can subdue the Absol. The player is successful, and upon returning the Lucario, AZ is satisfied of their capability in using Mega Evolution. The player then begins to help Team MZ subdue Rogue Mega Evolved Pokémon discovered across Lumiose City.

Late in the game, AZ reveals the existence of Ange to Team MZ, as well as his plan to deactivate it. The player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A of the Z-A Royale, and AZ declares his confidence in their ability to resolve the situation. The group retire to their rooms in Hotel Z for the night, but are awoken by the sound of a massive explosion. Congregating on the roof, the group discovers that Ange has awoken and shattered the structure that had been built to confine it. AZ entrusts the group with his Floette, and remains at the hotel to observe events from the rooftop. Ange fuses with Mega Floette to become Hyperrogue Ange Floette, destroying the Prism Tower and using its internal skeleton as a body. At the game's conclusion, AZ witnesses the defeat of Ange, satisfied that Lumiose City is now at peace and expresses his relief, joy, and gratitude for Team MZ to himself.

In the immediate aftermath, AZ dies of natural causes. Team MZ and [[Lysandre|L]] pay their respects at his grave in [[Dormez Bien Cemetery]], where Naveen understands that AZ had covertly made preparations for his own death. When the player returns to their room at the hotel, they find a Poké Ball with an attached letter from AZ in which he entrusts his Lucario to them and reveals that it [[Original Trainer|originally belonged to]] [[Korrina]]. In his final will and testament, AZ leaves Hotel Z to Team MZ to do with as they please, and simply requests that they look after his Floette and all the inhabitants of Lumiose City. The player and Urbain/Taunie make their wish to Jett and Vinnie for the Z-A Royale to continue indefinitely. Vinnie reveals that AZ had requested for the competition to continue after fulfilling its original purpose, and launches the Infinite Z-A Royale.

The player can return to the cemetery to visit AZ's grave. The inscription on the gravestone is enscribed as follows:
:"''Here lies AZ, who mastered both creation and destruction, a man of beginnings and endings.''" 
:"''For 3,000 years, he lived, finding no fellowship with others as he wandered the world's byways.''" 
:"''But in Lumiose, he discovered faithful friends and was reunited with his most beloved Pokémon.''" 
:"''It was in Lumiose, too, that he breathed his last.''"

It is rumored that AZ taught Quasartico how to make Mega Rings. In [[Mission (Legends:_Z-A)#Side missions|Side Mission 104: "Abuzz About Bug Types"]], Constance explains that AZ is rumored to have traveled to [[Hoenn]], where he researched the origins of Mega Evolution to satisfy his own curiosity, then shared that research with Quasartico.

Out of grief, AZ built a machine to resurrect her, which granted her eternal life as a result. She left him after realizing that the [[Infinity Energy|life force]] of other Pokémon was used to bring her back to life.

In {{g|X and Y}}, Floette is first mentioned by AZ when the player initially encounters him on {{rt|13|Kalos}}, where he mutters to himself about "the flower Pokémon". Floette's last appearance is during the parade arranged by [[Professor Sycamore]] in [[Lumiose City]]. After AZ battles the {{player}} and is liberated from his torment, she floats down from the sky and finally returns to him. Neither Floette nor AZ are seen after this.

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, 5 years after X and Y, she remained alongside AZ as he runs [[Hotel Z]], regularly hanging out with [[Team MZ]]. After AZ’s death, Urbain/Taunie takes ownership of his Floette and uses her against the player in their 15th [[Z-A Royale|Infinite Z-A Royale]] reward match during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 39: "The Infinite Z-A Royale". After the match, they give Floette and the [[Floettite]] to the player.

Unlike other Floette, she has a unique color scheme and holds a different flower known as the Eternal Flower.

AZ appeared in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]''. His backstory from the games was shown, describing how he built a machine to revive his {{p|Floette}} and later turned it into the [[ultimate weapon]] to end the [[Kalos]] war. Seeing how AZ had taken the lives of many Pokémon for her sake, Floette left him. Afterwards, AZ continued to wander eternally, searching for Floette.

During the parade held to celebrate the new [[Kalos League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, he approached {{ga|Calem}} and challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}}. He eventually lost, but thanked Calem for freeing him from his sorrow. Afterwards, he was finally reunited with his Floette.

[[File:Gurkinn AZ Adventures.png|thumb|230px|right|AZ in Pokémon Adventures]]
AZ debuted in ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]''. While traveling through the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]'s underground section, [[Emma]] found AZ locked in a jail cell. Once introductions were made, AZ realized the key around his neck went missing and began panicking to find it.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} managed to sneak inside the Secret HQ. They found AZ's cell, where he informed them of [[Lysandre]]'s plans to use the [[ultimate weapon]] to wipe out everyone but [[Team Flare]] and create a beautiful world. After freeing AZ from his cell, the group headed towards the ultimate weapon's control room, where they found that {{adv|X}} failed to defeat Lysandre, but was able to free the [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] being used to fuel it. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key, but couldn't pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon and prevented it from taking any innocent lives.

In ''[[PS581|Rhyhorn Charges]]'', AZ let himself be captured, buying time for Xerneas and allowing it to take X and his friends back to the surface. In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', AZ was revealed to have freed himself and escaped. Before he fled, AZ cryptically warned Lysandre that Team Flare's actions have put them under the surveillance of {{adv|Zygarde}}, the Overseer of Kalos.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', after the defeat of Team Flare, AZ approached the [[Vaniville Town|Vaniville]] children in [[Lumiose City]]. Noting how people shunned X and his friends despite their work in saving the region, AZ suggested Team Flare's ambitions weren't wrong and went to go activate the ultimate weapon again. The others tried to stop AZ, but he retaliated with his {{p|Golurk}}. When a stray attack nearly hit {{adv|Y}}, AZ stepped in and took the attack, destroying the ultimate weapon's key. The battle was merely an act to prevent X and his friends from heading down the path Lysandre took. With his mind at ease, AZ thanked the Vaniville children, only to be shocked at the return of the {{p|Floette}} that left him 3,000 years ago.

{{main|AZ (Phantom Forces 91)}}
'''AZ''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Phantom Gate}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Phantom Forces}} expansion, with both prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[Naoki Saito]]. AZ allows the player to return a Pokémon to their hand, with all cards attached to it being discarded.

AZ may be based on the medieval Christian legend of the {{wp|Wandering Jew}}. AZ may also be based on the Mesopotamian king {{wp|Gilgamesh}}; in the ''{{wp|Epic of Gilgamesh}}'', the titular king, described in mythology as a giant of a man more than 5 meters (16 ft 5 in) tall, traveled far and wide in his quest for immortality for himself after the death of his closest companion, Enkidu. AZ could also be inspired by {{wp|Ashoka}}, a ruler of the {{wp|Mauryan Empire}} who famously became a {{wp|Buddhist}} pacifist after his {{wp|Kalinga War|conquest of Kalinga}} caused the deaths of countless men and animals.

'''Corbeau''' (Japanese: '''カラスバ''' ''Karasuba'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is the current boss of the [[Rust Syndicate]], a shady organization in [[Lumiose City]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

His partner Pokémon is {{p|Scolipede}}.

==Appearance==
Corbeau is a skinny young man with pale complexion and sharp, angular eyes. Corbeau is notably rather short, being shorter than his Rust Syndicate grunts and around the same height as the [[player character]]. His hair is swept to his left side, while the right side of his head has a buzz cut.

Corbeau wears a large, black, custom knee-length suit jacket over a purple dress shirt and black trousers. His suit jacket is designed as though there are drips of poison all over it, with droplet-shaped magenta strips of cloth hanging from the bottom of the jacket and the lapels, and the inside of the jacket having an orange and magenta dripping pattern. Corbeau also wears a white necktie with five black notches on each side, black socks, and dark purple dress shoes with lighter purple toe caps. Additionally, he wears round glasses held in place by a drip-like, purple retainer; the bridge of his glasses has an inverted "Y" shape. Finally, Corbeau wears a pin of the Rust Syndicate logo on the left lapel of his jacket, where he keeps his [[Key Stone]].

Corbeau is left-handed, as shown in his key art and when he throws [[Poké Ball]]s.

==Personality==
As the head of the [[Rust Syndicate]], Corbeau demands respect and obedience from his subordinates, and is prone to anger when things don't go according to his plans. Despite never really wanting the position of boss to begin with (Philippe abdicated the position in awe of Corbeau's talents), Corbeau is an effective leader. He has his personal code of honor and leads by example — this is best seen when he helps the Rust Syndicate form a human ladder for the {{player}} to climb on during the final act of the {{g|Legends: Z-A}} story.

Corbeau has a cordial, yet generally intimidating presence, and is not above using extortion to get others to do his bidding, such as threatening to raise the interest of Team MZ's debt to him as a way to stop the player from leaking his personal secrets. However, despite his demeanor and shady tactics, Corbeau is well-liked by the people of [[Lumiose City]] who know him, and genuinely wishes the best for the city he calls home. He has a unique method of having his subordinates help the people of the city on his behalf — he forces the player to do various odd jobs to clear [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]]'s debt to the Rust Syndicate, which turn out to be little more than community service.

According to [[Philippe]], Corbeau is a savvy businessman, and made a name for himself by setting up various enterprises such as security services, Pokémon couriers, and other ventures that seem legally dubious. Corbeau looks up to and idolizes [[Lysandre]], who gave him support as a child and invested money into his business schemes. In contrast, the fact that Corbeau had to work his way to the top likely explains his disdain for an elite socialite such as [[Jacinthe]] — Corbeau almost never has anything nice to say about her, especially when the two are in one place together.

==In the core series games==
Prior to the events of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, a child Corbeau was an outsider to [[Lumiose City]], and had no family to rely on. [[Lysandre]] was the one who helped and supported Corbeau when he was struggling during his early years. This relationship continues into Corbeau's adulthood, as he convinced Lysandre to give him seed funding for his various businesses. [[Philippe]] and his gang tried to put a stop to Corbeau and his ventures, but eventually had to admit defeat, and Philippe relinquished the position of the [[Rust Syndicate]]'s boss to Corbeau despite the latter's hesitance.

The player is introduced to Corbeau after reaching Rank D in the [[Z-A Royale]], as he invites them and [[Lida]] to his office to discuss an unpaid debt [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] has with the Rust Syndicate. Both Corbeau and Philippe explain that they offered Urbain/Taunie a {{PDollar}}100,000 loan to shoot promotional videos for Hotel Z, but the loan hasn't been paid back and has now accrued a tenfold interest of {{PDollar}}1,000,000. Despite Lida's protest, both Rust Syndicate men argue that they had indicated the terms and warned Urbain/Taunie that they might not be able to pay back the loan. Knowing no one at [[Team MZ]] can repay the interest, Corbeau offers the player a proposal: to do various jobs on the Rust Syndicate's behalf so that Corbeau will clear the interest, or have the entirety of the Rust Syndicate storm [[Hotel Z]] for a Pokémon showdown if they refuse the offer. Intimidated by the latter option, Lida accepts the proposal regardless of the player's dialogue.

After Team MZ defeats [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Ampharos}} in the city, Corbeau sends the player to do a few Rust Syndicate jobs as per the proposal. While the jobs are initially framed by Corbeau as shady work (for instance, Corbeau asks the player to "teach a lesson" to some "troublemakers" in an old building), these jobs turn out to be purely beneficial. The "troublemakers" Corbeau asks the player to "teach a lesson" to are merely {{type|Ghost}} wild Pokémon haunting a building that a citizen had just rented, the "undesirable elements" Corbeau tells the player to clear in [[The Sewers|the sewers]] are simply some growths of [[Mega Crystal]]s, and the outsiders he tasks the player to deal with turn out to be members of the [[Society of Battle Connoisseurs]] who were giving unwanted battle lectures to some children. After finishing these jobs, Corbeau and the player are suddenly alerted to Urbain/Taunie and [[Jett]] being confronted by members of the Lumiose Safety Group, and both help clear the situation by battling the Safety Group's representative.

Upon returning home, Corbeau summons the player to the [[Rust Syndicate Office]]. He clears Urbain/Taunie's debt interest as promised, and confesses that he would like to have a proper battle with them — the Z-A Royale app immediately announces that Corbeau serves as the player's opponent in their Z-A Royale promotion match to Rank C. Corbeau states that his wish upon reaching Rank A in the Z-A Royale is to gain more influence in Lumiose City so that he can better protect it. He gives [[TM100]] ({{m|Gunk Shot}}) to the player after defeating him. Later that night, Corbeau heads to Hotel Z and checks in as a guest. Despite Team MZ's fears of retaliation or anything else unsavory, Corbeau praises the team for the room and service, and tips Urbain/Taunie the exact amount needed to repay the original debt back to the Rust Syndicate, which they give to Philippe who arrived to escort Corbeau home. After Corbeau and Philippe leave the hotel, Team MZ is left bewildered by their organization's antics, but relieved that Urbain/Taunie's debt is cleared.

Corbeau later appears in [[Hotel Richissime]] as one of the guests invited to [[Jacinthe]]'s "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" tournament, and is battled by the player in the third round. During the tournament, Philippe reveals that Corbeau had asked him for battle training earlier, much to Corbeau's embarrassment.

During the game's final act, Corbeau joins the player in a Multi Battle against Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon, and later he, Philippe, and the rest of the Rust Syndicate help the player climb a building to reach {{ga|Zygarde}} by forming a human ladder. In the credits, Corbeau and the other major characters are seen helping clear the rubble after the incident with [[Prism Tower]].

===Pokémon===
Corbeau keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] his {{p|Scolipede}} at the first opportunity, except during the first Multi Battle against the representative of the Lumiose Safety Group.

==Trivia==
*During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>
*For his first four matches, the only non-Poison-type Pokémon on Corbeau's team is his {{p|Gyarados}}. This references his respect for [[Lysandre]], whose ace Pokémon is also Gyarados.
*In Japanese, Corbeau speaks in the {{wp|Kansai dialect}}.

; Mission 20 - "A Request from the Rust Syndicate"
:'''[[Rust Syndicate Office]] (Office), [[Bleu Sector 4]], [[Bleu District]]'''
::''"And who exactly am I speaking with?"''
::''"So you two came in place of [[Taunie]]/[[Urbain]], eh? {{tt|She's|If the player is male}}/{{tt|he's|If the player is female}} too good to come herself/himself? But tell me, [[Philippe]], why don't our guests have a scratch on them? You were supposed to crush their spirits. Make them more persuadable.”''
::''"You don't say? Well isn't that interesting... So, you two... I take it you're here to talk some sort of deal? Better make it worth my time."''
::''"Never really wanted the title of boss, I'll have you know. But Philippe there shoved it on me."''
::''"Bah, enough of that! We've got guests—this isn't the time to be discussing our internal affairs. And where are my manners. I've kept our guests standing this whole time! Have a seat on those sofas, why don't you? They're real comfy... Our guests all love ‘em. In fact, they never seem to want to leave ‘em... At least, not before agreeing to everything we ask.”''
::''"Now then, let's talk business. Like I said, though, you better make it worthwhile. Otherwise, who knows what may happen to you?"''
::''“I guess I'd interpret your friend Taunie's/Urbain's lack of communication as an attempt to save you from worrying. She's/he's such a caring girl/boy, after all. Fill them in, Philippe.”''
::''"Your friend helped us, so we helped your friend. A beautiful little circle, isn't it?"''
::''"Well, I take financial matters very seriously. I even personally warned her/him, you know. I straight up asked her/him, "Are you sure? You're not a pro—can you really make a video that good?" I told her/him she/he shouldn't be overpromising. But she/he did. So now what I want to know is... what are you two going to do about the situation?"''
:::'''We need more time to repay you''': ''"Aww, poor us! It sounds like we’re never going to get our money back, Philippe."''
:::'''That interest rate is just crazy!''': ''"What's this? Trying to go back on our terms? Sorry, kid, but a deal is a deal."''
::''“Listen, I'll tell you what. We can leave the matter of the {{pdollar}}100,000 that Taunie/Urbain borrowed between her/him and us. That way, you two only have to deal with all the extra interest she/he accrued.”''
::''“I'm not a monster. I know having this big old debt from Taunie/Urbain hanging over your head can't be fun. And I doubt you can cough up the money, anyway. So I've got a proposal for you.”''
::''“Nothing too hard—I just want you to take care of some little jobs here and there for us. You do well, and I'll start reducing the interest that is owed to us."''
::''“Is this kid trying to test my patience? Ah, no, no. I shouldn't be losing my temper at innocent civilians. Look. I'm cutting you a deal here. Out of the goodness of my heart, I might add. Now, if you choose to reject my kind offer, then we'll just show up at the hotel and have a big old Pokémon showdown. Every single one of us. So, what do you say? I assume you'll accept?"''
:::'''No way''': ''"What was that?"''
::''"{{tt|Now, that's what I like to hear! Pleasure doing business with you."|Jumps to line if player selects 'We accept'}}''
::''"Well, if you work really, really hard, maybe just one job! Or, I could keep giving you more work. It's up to me, really."''
::''"Oh, don't worry. It... probably won't come to that. But look on the bright side—these jobs will be for the benefit of the city! Just do your best, and I'm sure everything will go fine."''
::''"I'll be in touch."''
:'''[[Hotel Z]], [[Vert Sector 8]], [[Vert District]]'''
::* After completing Missions 21-23
:::''"Hello, hello. I figured you might’ve all arrived back at the hotel after this long. ...Eh, I suppose I can drop the act. Look, we are always watching you. You’re smart enough to know what that means, right? So, how about it? Ready for your first job? We’ve got a small bunch of troublemakers holed up in one of the old buildings in the Bleu District. I need you to teach them a lesson.''
:::''"If the Rust Syndicate takes direct action, it could draw a bit too much attention. That’s why I’d like Team MZ to handle this for us. Just think of it as doing the city a service. Anyway, don’t let me keep you. Good luck!"''
:'''[[Old Building]], [[Bleu Sector 9]], Bleu District'''
::''"Pretty impressive."''
::''"'Course he/she did! It's the Rust Syndicate's job to look after any citizen who needs help."''
::''"I was just stopping by to make sure you handled the job properly."''
:::'''I take it you're not very busy/Nothing better to do, huh?''': ''"Hmph. You must know there are a lot of wild Pokémon coming to Lumiose these days, right?''
::''"Quasartico's holo-tech does a pretty good job of keeping them in set areas and out of trouble. But some make their way into the city and cause problems for people and other Pokémon. This trend has forced some Pokémon out of their usual habitats—and into our living spaces. It's tough not having a place where you belong. It was the same for me back when I was a kid."''
::''"Looks like you didn't take care of every last troublemaker, did you? Now that's sloppy work... So, what're you gonna do with that Pokémon?"''
::''"Well then. I've got your next job lined up already. I need you to help out one of my people. She'll be on the riverbank near the electrical substation. I need you to take care of some... undesirable elements down there."''
:'''[[Lumiose Sewers]], [[Magenta Street]], [[Magenta District]]'''
::''"Thanks for taking care of that pesky mess down there."''
::''"Say, is it true you're going around calming down Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon?"''
:::'''It's true''': ''"I see..."''
:::'''I can't say''': ''"Please, there's no point hiding it. As I already told you, we're always watching."''
::''"One more question. I know a guy showed up after you calmed one of those Rogue Pokemon recently. Who was he?"''
:::'''He's just called "L"''': ''"You don't even know his real name, huh?"''
:::'''I don't know him well''': ''"You don't know him, eh."''
::''"Well, that gentleman's name is [[Lysandre]]. He is—or was—a very wealthy and generous businessman. He helped me out when I was a kid. Provided me with support since I had no family to rely on. I...don't know why he did what he did five years ago, or what he's been up to since. But if he's alive, that means I can repay him for everything he's done for me. Oh, but look at me, talking to myself. You better not breathe a word of this to anyone, understand? Otherwise, that interest...It might become a LOT more of an issue for you. Anyway, I have another job for you. We've got a little problem with some outsiders causing trouble on our turf. It might get nasty... but you should be able to handle it for me, right? You'll know what's up if you head to the battle court near [[Centrico Plaza]]. Go take care of it."''
:'''Battle Court, [[Rouge Sector 1]], [[Rouge District]]'''
::''"Hello there, you two. I heard word you've been acting like you own this place. Too bad you had to go and lose to a kid. People are on edge these days, what with all the wild Pokémon showing up in town. Hardly seems like a good time to be going around troubling our city’s children, now does it?"''
::''"You all should head home for today too, kiddos. Watch out for strangers!"''
::''"I don't think of myself as a hero, you know. Someone has to take action. That's all. Anyway, you really are strong, aren't you? And yet you don't boast or show off... Why, nobody even knows that you're the one calming Rogue Pokémon. You're an interesting one."''
::''"What's happening now? You're coming with me to find out!"''
:'''[[Autumnal Avenue]]''' 
::''"Now here's an unexpected pairing. The CEO of Quasartico and Taunie/Urbain together, huh? Care to explain all the ruckus?"''
::''""Keep our city safe"? Don't make me laugh. Taunie/Urbain! Get the president away from this mess!"''
::''"Well, isn't this an interesting turn of events. Though I'm not sure how I ended up protecting a scoundrel who won't even repay a debt..."''
:::'''You're kinder than you act/You're a good person''': ''"Give me a break! Nice people don't end up in my line of work."''
::''"Still, I can't just abandon folks who are in trouble. That's below even me. Come on now, I'll lend a hand—that makes two against one. I never said I'd play nice!"''
::* After battle
:::''"That's what every defeated villain says. I guess originality wasn't their strong suit. My [[Scolipede]] is pretty strong though, eh?"''
:::''"Don't worry about it. Couldn't have you getting injured—otherwise, we'd have to wait even longer to get our money. Not that we'd mind you racking up more interest. Besides, the Rust Syndicate deals in favors, not violence."''
:::''"So... You there, Quasartico president lady... What that rabble was going on about—how the wild Pokémon are coming here because of Quasartico... Any truth to that?"''
:::''"Yeah, I really hope that's all true. It would be a shame for something to happen to this city. I do love this place, in spite of everything I've been through here. Well, thanks for putting in a bit of overtime, kid. I'll be in touch."''
:'''Hotel Z, Vert Sector 8, Vert District'''
::''"Hey, good work today. There's something I'd like to discuss. Stop by our office... Alone, please. I'll be waiting."''
:'''Rust Syndicate Office (Office), Bleu Sector 4, Bleu District'''
::''"Thanks for coming in."''
:::'''Is this another job?/What do you need?''': ''"You are one interesting kid, aren't you?"''
::''"Running odd jobs to help a friend, calming down Rogue Pokémon... It's all pretty impressive. More than anything, I love that you can hold your own in a battle! So I've decided you're done working for us! I'll clear all the interest, as promised."''
; Rust Syndicate Office (Office), Bleu Sector 4, Bleu District 
:* After completing Mission 20
::''"But that's not actually why I called you here. You see, I wanted to have a proper, no-holds-barred battle with you."''
::''"Now isn't that interesting. You're my next opponent in the Z-A Royale. Fate itself is telling us we need to battle!"''
; Mission 24 - "Reaching Rank C"
:'''Rust Syndicate Office (Office), Bleu Sector 4, Bleu District'''
::''"So, do you have a [[Challenger's Ticket]]?"''
::* If the player does not have their Challenger's Ticket
:::''"Oh, that's too bad. Well then, go have some fun in the [[Z-A Royale]]. I'll be waiting here."''
::* If the player has their Challenger's Ticket
:::''“I love it when someone’s well-prepared. We can get right to our promotion match!”''
::* If talked to before battle
:::''"There's no way I'll lose! There's still so much I need to do."''
::* After talking to Philippe once the player has their Challenger's Ticket
:::''"Suppose I really ought to thank Taunie/Urbain for introducing me to an amusing Trainer like you. Now then, let's get this started."''
:::'''I'm looking forward to it''': ''"The best part of battle is facing a Trainer who's got talent... and then sending them home crying!"''
:::'''Hold on a moment''': {{tt|''“You messing with me or something?”''|Ends conversation}}
::* Before battle
:::''"You're acquainted with Lysandre too, yeah? That's proof enough for me that you're no pushover! I want to experience every drop of your skill as a Pokémon Trainer!"''
:::'''"“Acquainted” might be a strong word/Hey, I barely even know the guy''': ''"Oh, come on. Let's not argue semantics."''
:::''"People, Pokémon... We all get covered in the grime of the world as we go through life. This city needs people willing to get their hands dirty cleaning up all that mess! As a kid, I had no home, nowhere to go... until Lumiose gave me a place where I could belong. I aim to protect this city in any way I can... And for that, I need more influence! I need to reach Rank A!"''
:::'''Regardless of choice''': ''"For now, I'm just gonna enjoy my battle with you to the fullest!"''
::* In battle
:::'''Upon Mega Evolving Scolipede''': ''"Scolipede! As long as you're with me, I can face any pinch with a smile!"''
::* Upon being defeated
:::''“Well, that’s disappointing. I wasn’t able to let Scolipede fully shine.”''
::* After battle
:::''"Don't know if Lysandre sees your talent, but I do. I see what you can bring to this city. Here's a TM as a sign of my respect! It's the move for Gunk Shot. You should have all of your Pokémon learn it."''
:::''"Thanks again. It was a good battle!"''
:::''"You know, we could use someone like you in the Rust Syndicate. What do you say?"''
::::'''I’m a member of Team MZ, so...''': ''“Fair enough. I respect you sticking to your crew.”''
::::'''Ooh, really? Sounds like fun!''': ''"No, forget I brought it up. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you're part of Team MZ. You need to stick with your crew."''
:::''"Team MZ must be a heck of a team—especially with you on it. Though I don't think I'm done with you yet. I'll see you at Hotel Z."''
:'''Hotel Z, Vert Sector 8, Vert District'''
::''"Hello, hello! Anyone here?"''
::''"So this is Hotel Z, eh? Not bad at all."''
::''"Now, now, what's got you all on edge? Think about it: What do most people come to hotels for? To book a room, correct? Or what? Is Hotel Z too fancy for the likes of me?"''
::''"You really are huge, old man. You know, word on the street is you're three thousand years old."''
::''"Of course. Give me your best room, please."''
::''"Occupation...? I'll just put down "handyman." There, all filled out. Bet you didn't expect me to have such neat handwriting."''

::''"Here's what I owe you for my stay. And here's a tip for you, kid."''
::''"Don't worry about it. Everyone knows I'm a good tipper."''

::''"Now then, let's talk business. Like I said, though, you better make it worthwhile. Otherwise, who knows what may happen to you?"''
::''“I guess I'd interpret your friend Taunie's/Urbain's lack of communication as an attempt to save you from worrying. She's/he's such a caring girl/boy, after all. Fill them in, Philippe.”''
::''"Your friend helped us, so we helped your friend. A beautiful little circle, isn't it?"''
::''"Well, I take financial matters very seriously. I even personally warned her/him, you know. I straight up asked her/him, "Are you sure? You're not a pro—can you really make a video that good?" I told her/him she/he shouldn't be overpromising. But she/he did. So now what I want to know is... what are you two going to do about the situation?"''
:::'''We need more time to repay you''': ''"Aww, poor us! It sounds like we’re never going to get our money back, Philippe."''
:::'''That interest rate is just crazy!''': ''"What's this? Trying to go back on our terms? Sorry, kid, but a deal is a deal."''
::''“Listen, I'll tell you what. We can leave the matter of the {{pdollar}}100,000 that Taunie/Urbain borrowed between her/him and us. That way, you two only have to deal with all the extra interest she/he accrued.”''
::''“I'm not a monster. I know having this big old debt from Taunie/Urbain hanging over your head can't be fun. And I doubt you can cough up the money, anyway. So I've got a proposal for you.”''
::''“Nothing too hard—I just want you to take care of some little jobs here and there for us. You do well, and I'll start reducing the interest that is owed to us."''
::''“Is this kid trying to test my patience? Ah, no, no. I shouldn't be losing my temper at innocent civilians. Look. I'm cutting you a deal here. Out of the goodness of my heart, I might add. Now, if you choose to reject my kind offer, then we'll just show up at the hotel and have a big old Pokémon showdown. Every single one of us. So, what do you say? I assume you'll accept?"''
:::'''No way''': ''"What was that?"''
::''"{{tt|Now, that's what I like to hear! Pleasure doing business with you."|Jumps to line if player selects 'We accept'}}''

I need you to teach them a lesson.''

I...don't know why he did what he did five years ago, or what he's been up to since. But if he's alive, that means I can repay him for everything he's done for me. Oh, but look at me, talking to myself. You better not breathe a word of this to anyone, understand? Otherwise, that interest...It might become a LOT more of an issue for you. Anyway, I have another job for you. We've got a little problem with some outsiders causing trouble on our turf. It might get nasty... but you should be able to handle it for me, right?

'''Corbeau''' (Japanese: '''カラスバ''' ''Karasuba'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is the current boss of the [[Rust Syndicate]], a shady organization in [[Lumiose City]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

His partner Pokémon is {{p|Scolipede}}.

==Appearance==
Corbeau is a skinny young man with pale complexion and sharp, angular eyes. Corbeau is notably rather short, being shorter than his Rust Syndicate grunts and around the same height as the [[player character]]. His hair is swept to his left side, while the right side of his head has a buzz cut.

Corbeau wears a large, black, custom knee-length suit jacket over a purple dress shirt and black trousers. His suit jacket is designed as though there are drips of poison all over it, with droplet-shaped magenta strips of cloth hanging from the bottom of the jacket and the lapels, and the inside of the jacket having an orange and magenta dripping pattern. Corbeau also wears a white necktie with five black notches on each side, black socks, and dark purple dress shoes with lighter purple toe caps. Additionally, he wears round glasses held in place by a drip-like, purple retainer; the bridge of his glasses has an inverted "Y" shape. Finally, Corbeau wears a pin of the Rust Syndicate logo on the left lapel of his jacket, where he keeps his [[Key Stone]].

Corbeau is shown to be left-handed when he throws his Poké Ball.

==Personality==
As the head of the [[Rust Syndicate]], Corbeau demands respect and obedience from his subordinates, and is prone to anger when things don't go according to his plans. Despite never really wanting the position of boss to begin with (Philippe abdicated the position in awe of Corbeau's talents), Corbeau is an effective leader. He has his personal code of honor and leads by example — this is best seen when he helps the Rust Syndicate form a human ladder for the {{player}} to climb on during the final act of the {{g|Legends: Z-A}} story.

Corbeau has a cordial, yet generally intimidating presence, and is not above using extortion to get others to do his bidding, such as threatening to raise the interest of Team MZ's debt to him as a way to stop the player from leaking his personal secrets. However, despite his demeanor and shady tactics, Corbeau is well-liked by the people of [[Lumiose City]] who know him, and genuinely wishes the best for the city he calls home. He has a unique method of having his subordinates help the people of the city on his behalf — he forces the player to do various odd jobs to clear [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]]'s debt to the Rust Syndicate, which turn out to be little more than community service.

According to [[Philippe]], Corbeau is a savvy businessman, and made a name for himself by setting up various enterprises such as security services, Pokémon couriers, and other ventures that seem legally dubious. Corbeau looks up to and idolizes [[Lysandre]], who gave him support as a child and invested money into his business schemes. In contrast, the fact that Corbeau had to work his way to the top likely explains his disdain for an elite socialite such as [[Jacinthe]] — Corbeau almost never has anything nice to say about her, especially when the two are in one place together.

==In the core series games==
Prior to the events of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, a child Corbeau was an outsider to [[Lumiose City]], and had no family to rely on. [[Lysandre]] was the one who helped and supported Corbeau when he was struggling during his early years. This relationship continues into Corbeau's adulthood, as he convinced Lysandre to give him seed funding for his various businesses. [[Philippe]] and his gang tried to put a stop to Corbeau and his ventures, but eventually had to admit defeat, and Philippe relinquished the position of the [[Rust Syndicate]]'s boss to Corbeau despite the latter's hesitance.

The player is introduced to Corbeau after reaching Rank D in the [[Z-A Royale]], as he invites them and [[Lida]] to his office to discuss an unpaid debt [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] has with the Rust Syndicate. Both Corbeau and Philippe explain that they offered Urbain/Taunie a {{PDollar}}100,000 loan to shoot promotional videos for Hotel Z, but the loan hasn't been paid back and has now accrued a tenfold interest of {{PDollar}}1,000,000. Despite Lida's protest, both Rust Syndicate men argue that they had indicated the terms and warned Urbain/Taunie that they might not be able to pay back the loan. Knowing no one at [[Team MZ]] can repay the interest, Corbeau offers the player a proposal: to do various jobs on the Rust Syndicate's behalf so that Corbeau will clear the interest, or have the entirety of the Rust Syndicate storm [[Hotel Z]] for a Pokémon showdown if they refuse the offer. Intimidated by the latter option, Lida accepts the proposal regardless of the player's dialogue.

After Team MZ defeats [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Ampharos}} in the city, Corbeau sends the player to do a few Rust Syndicate jobs as per the proposal. While the jobs are initially framed by Corbeau as shady work (for instance, Corbeau asks the player to "teach a lesson" to some "troublemakers" in an old building), these jobs turn out to be purely beneficial. The "troublemakers" Corbeau asks the player to "teach a lesson" to are merely {{type|Ghost}} wild Pokémon haunting a building that a citizen had just rented, the "undesirable elements" Corbeau tells the player to clear in [[The Sewers|the sewers]] are simply some growths of [[Mega Crystal]]s, and the outsiders he tasks the player to deal with turn out to be members of the [[Society of Battle Connoisseurs]] who were giving unwanted battle lectures to some children. After finishing these jobs, Corbeau and the player are suddenly alerted to Urbain/Taunie and [[Jett]] being confronted by members of the Lumiose Safety Group, and both help clear the situation by battling the Safety Group's representative.

Upon returning home, Corbeau summons the player to the [[Rust Syndicate Office]]. He clears Urbain/Taunie's debt interest as promised, and confesses that he would like to have a proper battle with them — the Z-A Royale app immediately announces that Corbeau serves as the player's opponent in their Z-A Royale promotion match to Rank C. Corbeau states that his wish upon reaching Rank A in the Z-A Royale is to gain more influence in Lumiose City so that he can better protect it. He gives [[TM100]] ({{m|Gunk Shot}}) to the player after defeating him. Later that night, Corbeau heads to Hotel Z and checks in as a guest. Despite Team MZ's fears of retaliation or anything else unsavory, Corbeau praises the team for the room and service, and tips Urbain/Taunie the exact amount needed to repay the original debt back to the Rust Syndicate, which they give to Philippe who arrived to escort Corbeau home. After Corbeau and Philippe leave the hotel, Team MZ is left bewildered by their organization's antics, but relieved that Urbain/Taunie's debt is cleared.

Corbeau later appears in [[Hotel Richissime]] as one of the guests invited to [[Jacinthe]]'s "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" tournament, and is battled by the player in the third round. During the tournament, Philippe reveals that Corbeau had asked him for battle training earlier, much to Corbeau's embarrassment.

During the game's final act, Corbeau joins the player in a Multi Battle against Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon, and later he, Philippe, and the rest of the Rust Syndicate help the player climb a building to reach {{ga|Zygarde}} by forming a human ladder. In the credits, Corbeau and the other major characters are seen helping clear the rubble after the incident with [[Prism Tower]].

===Pokémon===
Corbeau keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] his {{p|Scolipede}} at the first opportunity, except during the first Multi Battle against the representative of the Lumiose Safety Group.

==Trivia==
*During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>
*For his first four matches, the only non-Poison-type Pokémon on Corbeau's team is his {{p|Gyarados}}. This references his respect for [[Lysandre]], whose ace Pokémon is also Gyarados.
*In Japanese, Corbeau speaks in the {{wp|Kansai dialect}}.

'''Naveen''' (Japanese: '''ピュール''' ''Pur'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is a member of [[Team MZ]], which he joined in return for studio space. He is an aspiring fashion designer, slowly earning a reputation in [[Lumiose City]] as a designer shrouded in mystery. He is not fond of battling. Outside of battles, he has a passion for watching [[Canari]]'s streams and is proved to be a devoted supporter of her, as he helps the player win the Canari's Quiz Whiz Contest which most cannot achieve.

His partner Pokémon is {{p|Scraggy}}, which later [[evolve]]s into {{p|Scrafty}}. He wears a [[Mega Ring]] on his left arm.

== Personality ==
Naveen is quite an independent person. He initially expresses disinterest in opening up to his teammates or getting involved in their business, and he often downplays or justifies gestures he makes toward them. Over time, he warms up and becomes a supportive member of Team MZ. While he generally comes across as serious and even aloof, he shows a more excitable side when it comes to his hobbies. He also grows flustered at times.

He speaks formally and often makes dry remarks. He is generally sensible, other than when he becomes distracted by his primary interests, namely fashion and watching [[Canari]]’s streams. He appears confident in these interests, taking pride in his sewing and declaring himself a true fan of Canari. When it comes to other areas, such as battle, he becomes more reserved. He can be anxious at times, especially when he and his friends are in danger, and later on it distresses him when he cannot do more to help them directly.

He can be quite opinionated. [[Lida]] describes him as particular about certain things, such as food, as he shows great distaste for [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]]’s unconventional cooking. Lida theorizes this is because he is from Lumiose City unlike the rest of Team MZ. His teammates sometimes rely on his knowledge of the city.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Naveen originally lived with his grandmother, who disapproves of his interest in sewing and wants him to focus on his studies. One day she threw out his sewing supplies, prompting an upset Naveen to wander [[Lumiose City]] until he eventually met {{tt|Urbain|if the player is female}}/{{tt|Taunie|if the player is male}} and joined [[Team MZ]]. Unlike the other members of Team MZ, he does not live at [[Hotel Z]] full time, instead continuing to visit home on occasion. {{tt|Urbain|if the player is female}}/{{tt|Taunie|if the player is male}} mentions at one point that he is visiting his little sister to deliver something to her. As Naveen is very private about his life, the player only learns his backstory thanks to Lida. She convinces him to battle the player, with the condition that if they win, she is allowed to tell them why he joined Team MZ.

Naveen often gifts his teammates clothes and handmade items. Upon first meeting the player, he gives them a hat and also mentions that he embroidered the design on their team jacket. He also made [[Lida's Things|Lida's pouch]], and later on, he gifts the player some Performance Sneakers while in a good mood. At the start of Team MZ's first official meeting, Naveen unveils the flag he made for their meeting room, showing genuine cheer for the first time. During the meeting, Lida becomes frustrated that Naveen is splitting his focus to watch Canari's stream, but he explains that it is more fun to be a part of the chat while she is live. After the meeting, Lida offers to watch the stream with him, and he declines, saying he prefers to watch them alone.

Naveen reluctantly aids the player in earning their [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match to Rank E against Canari. At first, he is conflicted about helping the player find and challenge her, not only because he wants to root for both her and his teammate, but also because he strongly believes that fans should keep their distance from her. Though his dream is to design clothes for her to wear, he otherwise avoids interacting with her directly. He is not a part of her fan club and does not usually attend her events. Instead, he agrees to give the player information on her if they defeat him in a battle. {{tt|Urbain|if the player is female}}/{{tt|Taunie|if the player is male}} comments that this is just Naveen looking for the player to give him the justification he needs to help out. He ends up helping the player compete in Canari's Quiz Whiz Contest by telling them the answers from a distance. To maintain said distance, he cuts off his involvement when the player goes to meet and battle Canari, though Canari figures out that the player must have had outside help and gives them an autographed plush to pass along to him. Naveen is very appreciative of the gift.

From this point on, he often shows open support of his teammates, even if he still has some trouble expressing himself and focusing on team business. He also continues to participate in Team MZ's missions despite often having reservations about the battles, as his resolve grows to help the Pokémon suffering from [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. He seems to draw some assurance from having {{p|Scrafty}} as his battle partner.

During the player and Lida's meeting with the [[Rust Syndicate]], Naveen expresses great concern and is very relieved upon their safe return. While they were gone, he focused on keeping [[Eternal Flower Floette]] calm so that she would not storm the syndicate. He is more afraid of the Rust Syndicate than the Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.

Before he and the player fight a Rogue Mega Evolved {{p|Ampharos}}, [[Gwynn]] shows up to challenge the player with the intent of avenging Canari. She at first ignores Naveen before expressing competitive feelings toward him due to him technically winning Canari's Quiz Whiz Contest. Though he doesn't seem to return her grudge, he nevertheless claims she cannot out-quiz him.

After [[AZ]] gives Naveen and Lida [[Mega Stone]]s and Mega Rings, Naveen battles the player and [[Mega Evolve]]s his Scrafty for the first time. Shortly after, the player and Urbain/Taunie receive invitations to [[Jacinthe]]'s tournament, and Lida enlists Naveen to help them dress up. At Boutique Couture, the fashion designer [[Asami]] reveals that she is aware of Naveen's reputation and considers him a rival, though she does not recognize him. He reacts stoically without revealing his identity. When [[Jacinthe]] crashes the team's next strategy meeting, he compliments her outfit, though he later expresses that he finds her potentially scarier than the Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.

When AZ tells Team MZ the truth behind their final mission, Naveen expresses conflicted feelings. Though he is grateful for everything AZ has done for him, he still feels AZ should be held accountable for his actions, and he is frustrated that the team could be sent to fight and potentially die in order to fix AZ's mistakes. Naveen nonetheless witnesses the player's battle with {{tt|Urbain|if the player is female}}/{{tt|Taunie|if the player is male}} and joins the final strategy meeting. When Canari shows up at the meeting as a holograph alongside other previously battled characters, he appears caught off guard, and during the meeting he politely expresses his appreciation for her aid. In the credits roll, he is pictured alongside the rest of Team MZ. After the credits, he mourns AZ alongside his friends.

The '''HP Up''' (Japanese: '''マックスアップ''' ''Max Up'') is a type of [[vitamin]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It increases the [[HP]] of a Pokémon.

==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head|Medicine}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev1|RGBY}}/{{gameabbrev1|RBY}} {{gameabbrev2|GSC}} {{gameabbrev3|RSEFRLG}} {{gameabbrevss|Colo}}{{gameabbrevss|XD}} {{gameabbrev4|DPPtHGSS}} {{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}} {{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}} {{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}|{{PDollar}}9,800|{{PDollar}}4,900}}

{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev9|ZA}}|{{pdollar}}5,000|{{pdollar}}1,250}}
|}
|}
In [[Hoenn]], HP Up costs {{PDollar}}4900 during the {{DL|Slateport City|Energy Guru}} sale.

At [[Join Avenue]]'s Market, HP Up can be bought in dozens at {{PDollar}}99960 each, which equates to {{PDollar}}8330 per bottle.

===Effect===
====Generation I to II====
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, adds 2560 [[HP]] [[Effort values|Stat Experience]] to the target Pokémon per use, until it has 25600 HP Stat Experience. In [[Generation II]], it also increases the Pokémon's [[friendship]] a little.

The HP Up is consumed upon use and cannot be used in battle.

====Generation III to VII====
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, adds 10 [[HP]] {{EV}}s to the target Pokémon per use, until it has 100 HP EVs. It also increases the Pokémon's [[friendship]] a little.

The HP Up is consumed upon use and cannot be used in battle.

====Generation VIII onward====
HP Up can now be used even on a Pokémon that has 100 HP EVs or more, allowing the HP EVs to be raised to the single-stat cap of 252 or the total cap of 510 this way.

In ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'', a full set of [[vitamin]]s (excluding [[PP Up]] and [[PP Max]]) was announced to be the prize for winning the [[Clubsplosion]], like how the set of [[Feather|wings]] was the prize for the [[Club Battle]]. They were [[BW073|eventually]] won by [[Stephan]].

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
In ''[[PS446|Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down]]'', several kinds of [[vitamin]]s were seen being sold at the [[Safari Zone Gate]].

'''Rei''' (Japanese: '''テル''' ''Teru'') is the male [[player character]] of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and acts as a [[friend]] character in the same game if the player chooses to play as his female counterpart, {{ga|Akari}}. He is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps. Along with Akari, he's the only Trainer to use the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''The Survey Corps'''' (Japanese: '''ちょうさたい''' ''Research Team'').

He bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Lucas}} of the modern day, but the relationship between the two, if any, is unknown.

==In the core series games==
===As the protagonist===
'''Website blurb:''' ''"As the protagonist of the Pokémon Legends: Arceus game, you’ll join the Galaxy Team as a member of the Survey Corps. Your goal will be to meet every species of Pokémon from every corner of the Hisui region as you work to complete the land’s first-ever Pokédex."''

Rei finds himself in a strange void and is sent [[Time travel|back in time]] to [[Hisui]] by {{p|Arceus}}, who tasks him with seeking out all Pokémon and transforms his smartphone into the [[Arc Phone]]. A stranger to the land and wearing odd clothes, he meets [[Professor Laventon]], who invites him to join the [[Galaxy Team]] Survey Corps of [[Jubilife Village]] as a way of obtaining food and shelter. The Survey Corps also wish to fill out the [[Pokédex]], and so, after proving himself worthy through trials set by Captain [[Cyllene]], Rei is admitted into their ranks.

As part of his duties, he is directed by Commander [[Kamado]] to seek out the recently frenzied [[Noble Pokémon|noble Pokémon]] and quell their frenzy. After all of them are quelled, the rift in the sky that caused the frenzies expands even further. As such, Kamado banishes Rei from Jubilife Village out of suspicion. He follows the merchant [[Volo]] to meet with [[Cogita]], where he heeds their guidance and seeks out the [[lake guardians]] in order to obtain the [[Red Chain]]. He allies with the leader of the [[Diamond Clan]], [[Adaman]], or the leader of the [[Pearl Clan]], [[Irida]], to have them aid him in his task. Though the Red Chain fails to work as originally planned, Rei is still able to catch {{p|Dialga}}, if he sided with Adaman, or {{p|Palkia}}, if he sided with Irida. The other, frenzied counterpart is later stopped by Rei with the use the [[Origin Ball]] crafted from remnants of the Red Chain, ultimately causing the rift to disappear.

Afterwards, Rei collects the [[Plate]]s with Volo and Cogita's help. Once 17 of the 18 Plates have been collected, Rei meets with Volo atop [[Mount Coronet]], where it is revealed that Volo's consorting with {{p|Giratina}} was the cause of the rift. He attacks Rei in an attempt to take the Plates for himself. After being defeated, he gives Rei the final Plate, the [[Spooky Plate]], allowing Rei to obtain the [[Azure Flute]].

Once Rei has completed the Pokédex, he returns to the summit of Mount Coronet and plays the Azure Flute, revealing a glowing stairway that leads him to the [[Hall of Origin]], where Arceus challenges him. After being defeated, Arceus grants Rei a fragment of itself and the [[Legend Plate]].

===As a non-playable character===
'''Website blurb:''' ''"A Survey Corps member who’s close to your age and has been with the Survey Corps for some time. The appearance you choose at the beginning of the game will determine whether Akari or Rei appears as your fellow team member."''

Rei works as Professor Laventon's assistant, helping to teach the player how to catch Pokémon and how [[crafting]] works. Each time the player completes a mission, he joins the Professor and the player for some potato {{wp|mochi}}. During the game's climax, he assists the Professor in crafting the Origin Ball.

For the release of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Rei's outfit was released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Rei (Masters)}}
Rei, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Decidueye}} and Hisuian {{p|Braviary}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Rei became a playable sync pair on October 1, 2023.

Rei first appeared as an NPC during the [[story event]] [[Together in an Unknown Land]]. In this game, Rei arrived on [[Pasio]] by traveling through a [[Space-time distortion|space-time rift]], where he also mentions that present-day Pasio feels familiar to him, but he doesn't think this is the world he was originally from. It has also been pointed out by multiple characters in the game, about the similarities between him and {{mas|Lucas}}.

==Names==
'''Rei''' (Japanese: '''テル''' ''Teru'') is the name given to this character in his role as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in the core series. It is also used to refer to the male player character in pre-release promotional media for {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. This name is later used for the [[Rei (Masters)|same character]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. On the official Pokémon Legends: Arceus website, he is called both the '''Main Character''' and '''protagonist''' when referring to his role as the player, not granting him any name, while mentioning his role as an NPC as Rei in the same instance.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]: "''The Main Character and Akari or Rei''"</ref>

'''Akari''' (Japanese: '''ショウ''' ''Sho''<ref>[https://static.mercdn.net/item/detail/orig/photos/m21339538966_1.jpg?1759131617 "Sho"] [https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/pokemonscaleworld/ Pokémon Scale World] figurine</ref>) is the female [[player character]] of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and acts as a [[friend]] character in the same game if the player chooses to play as her male counterpart, {{ga|Rei}}. She is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps. Along with Rei, she's the only Trainer to use the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''The Survey Corps'''' (Japanese: '''ちょうさたい''' ''Research Team'').

She bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Dawn}} of the modern day, but the relationship between the two, if any, is unknown.

==In the core series games==
===As the protagonist===
'''Website blurb:''' ''"As the protagonist of the Pokémon Legends: Arceus game, you’ll join the Galaxy Team as a member of the Survey Corps. Your goal will be to meet every species of Pokémon from every corner of the Hisui region as you work to complete the land’s first-ever Pokédex."''

Akari finds herself in a strange void and is sent [[Time travel|back in time]] to [[Hisui]] by {{p|Arceus}}, who tasks her with seeking out all Pokémon and transforms her smartphone into the [[Arc Phone]]. A stranger to the land and wearing odd clothes, she meets [[Professor Laventon]] who invites her to join the [[Galaxy Team]] Survey Corps of [[Jubilife Village]] as a way of obtaining food and shelter. The Survey Corps also wish to fill out the [[Pokédex]], and so, after proving herself worthy through trials set by Captain [[Cyllene]], Akari is admitted into their ranks.

As part of her duties, she is directed by Commander [[Kamado]] to seek out the recently frenzied [[Noble Pokémon|noble Pokémon]] and quell their frenzy. After all of them are quelled, the rift in the sky that caused the frenzies expands even further. As such, Kamado banishes Akari from Jubilife Village out of suspicion. She follows the merchant [[Volo]] to meet with [[Cogita]], where she heeds their guidance and seeks out the [[lake guardians]] in order to obtain the [[Red Chain]]. She allies with the leader of the [[Diamond Clan]], [[Adaman]], or the leader of the [[Pearl Clan]], [[Irida]], to have them aid her in her task. Though the Red Chain fails to work as originally planned, Akari is still able to catch {{p|Dialga}}, if she sided with Adaman, or {{p|Palkia}}, if she sided with Irida. The other, frenzied counterpart is later stopped by Akari with the use the [[Origin Ball]] crafted from remnants of the Red Chain, ultimately causing the rift to disappear.

Afterwards, Akari collects the [[Plate]]s with Volo and Cogita's help. Once 17 of the 18 Plates have been collected, Akari meets with Volo atop [[Mount Coronet]], where it is revealed that Volo's consorting with {{p|Giratina}} was the cause of the rift. He attacks Akari in an attempt to take the Plates for himself. After being defeated, he gives Akari the final Plate, the [[Spooky Plate]], allowing her to obtain the [[Azure Flute]].

Once Akari has completed the Pokédex, she returns to the summit of Mount Coronet and plays the Azure Flute, revealing a glowing stairway that leads her to the [[Hall of Origin]], where Arceus challenges her. After being defeated, Arceus grants Akari a fragment of itself and the [[Legend Plate]].

===As a non-playable character===
'''Website blurb:''' ''"A Survey Corps member who’s close to your age and has been with the Survey Corps for some time. The appearance you choose at the beginning of the game will determine whether Akari or Rei appears as your fellow team member."''

Akari works as Professor Laventon's assistant, helping to teach the player how to catch Pokémon and how [[crafting]] works. Each time the player completes a mission, she joins the Professor and the player for some potato {{wp|mochi}}. During the game's climax, she assists the Professor in crafting the Origin Ball.

==Trivia==
* Akari and {{ga|Rei}} are the first characters other than [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] to have [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voice acting]].
* Akari and Rei are the only player characters in the core series games who do not have a present [[mother]] in their game.
* As the {{player}}, Akari's [[List of clothing in Pokémon Legends: Arceus#Two-Piece Suits|Casual Tee]] has a design that originates from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[List of clothing in Pokémon Sword and Shield#Tops 2|Luxury Holiday Loose Top]]. However, the shirt itself has shorter sleeves than its depiction in Sword and Shield.

==Names==
'''Akari''' (Japanese: '''ショウ''' ''Sho'') is the name given to her in her role as an NPC in the core series. It is also used to refer to the female player character in pre-release promotional media for {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. This name is later used for the [[Akari (Masters)|same character]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. On the Pokémon Legends: Arceus website, she is called both the '''Main Character''' and '''protagonist''' when referring to her role as the player, not granting her any name, while mentioning her role as an NPC as Akari in the same instance.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]: "''The Main Character and Akari or Rei''"</ref>

Internal default name data for the female player character in Pokémon Legends: Arceus refers to her as '''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari''), the same name as the female player character for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The name is not used for the character in any other material, and the two are otherwise treated as separate and distinct characters.

'''Eiscue''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コオリッポ''' ''Korippo'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Eiscue has two [[#Form data|forms]], '''Ice Face''' and '''Noice Face''', which it can switch between with its {{a|Ice Face}} [[Ability]].

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
[[File:875Eiscue Dream - Noice 3.png|thumb|left|150px|Eiscue in its Noice Face form as ice reforms on its head]]
Eiscue is a medium-sized, {{wp|penguin}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a large ice cube encasing its head. This ice cube is a light blue, with specks of white seen dotting the surface of it. Two oval-shaped eyes and a beak are seen on the front of the cube. It also has a long, antennae-like hair sticking out of the cube. Eiscue's body is black and white with light blue accents around its belly. It has two flippers and yellow feet, with three toes on each. Its true face within the ice is colored light blue with two white eyes, black eyebrows and a white beak, and has a worried expression to it.

Eiscue comes from extremely cold areas. It can produce cold air from inside its head to create ice to protect its head from heat. The ice, however, is not very durable, as a strong blow can shatter it, after which it goes on to create new ice. The ice starts to form around its hair first. Eiscue is easygoing by nature. It is a poor swimmer, and is often seen aimlessly floating in the ocean with just its ice-covered head floating on the surface, occasionally washing up on distant shores. It never panics or gets upset whenever it ends up in a new land, instead continuing due to its ability to adapt.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/eiscue/ Eiscue | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> The ice on Eiscue's head has a mild salty taste, presumed to be caused by it having floated in the oceans. When the weather is hot, groups of Eiscue will cool each other down by pressing their ice cube heads together. Eiscue's hair is connected to the surface of its brain, which then chills the air around it when it has something on its mind. Eiscue also uses its hair to catch prey in the sea, by forming ice balls at the tip and dipping it into the water like a fishing line.

Eiscue is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Ice Face}} as an [[Ability]].

===Form data===
Eiscue has two interchangeable forms: Ice Face and Noice Face. It switches between them with its [[Ability]] {{a|Ice Face}}. It will always be in its Ice Face form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}.

Eiscue starts battles in its Ice Face form. When it is hit by a [[physical move]], it does not take damage and instead transforms into its Noice Face form. In this form, it has decreased {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} and increased {{stat|Speed}}, and it can be damaged by normal means. When in Noice Face form, Eiscue will change back to its Ice Face form if {{weather|hail}} or [[snow]] begins while it is on the field, or if it is sent out into battle while it is hailing or snowing.

==Trivia==
* Eiscue shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Piplup}} and {{p|Prinplup}}. They are all known as the Penguin Pokémon.
* Eiscue can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Stonjourner}}.
** They are {{pkmn2|version-exclusive|version exclusives}} of each other: Eiscue is exclusive to {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Shield}} and {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Violet}}, while Stonjourner is exclusive to Sword and Scarlet.
** They both have [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]]: Eiscue has {{a|Ice Face}}, while Stonjourner has {{a|Power Spot}}.
** The version-exclusive [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Circhester Stadium]], [[Gordie]]{{sup/8|Sw}} and [[Melony]]{{sup/8|Sh}}, use Stonjourner and Eiscue in their respective teams.
* Due to a [[Rollout storage glitch|glitch]], if Eiscue is hit by {{m|Rollout}}, the [[damage]] multiplier for it can also be applied to other [[move]]s. Eiscue shares this trait with {{p|Mimikyu}}. This was fixed in Version 1.3.1 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

===Origin===
Eiscue seems to be based on a {{wp|penguin}} with an {{wp|ice cube}} for a head. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|great auk}}, a {{wp|flightless bird}} that used to inhabit the coasts of {{wp|Northern Atlantic}}, including the {{wp|British Isles}}, before their extinction. Many of Eiscue's behaviors are similar to the biology and history of the great auk: they would float with their heads exposed above water, their heads would get whiter during the winter season, and they were hunted to be used as fish bait.

====Name origin====
Eiscue may be a combination of ''Eis'' (German for ice) and ''ice cube''.

Korippo may be a combination of 氷 ''kōri'' (ice) and 立方 ''rippō'' (cube).

'''Geeta''' (Japanese: '''オモダカ''' ''Omodaka'') is the chairwoman of the {{pal|Pokémon League}} in [[Paldea]], as well as the chairwoman of [[Naranja Academy|Naranja]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]'s{{sup/9|V}} school board. She is Paldea's highest-ranked {{pkmn|Champion}}-level {{pkmn|Trainer}}, the strongest among the region's Champion-ranked Trainers, and the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} with the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Top Champion''' (Japanese: '''トップチャンピオン''' ''Top Champion''). Geeta is widely known across Paldea as '''''La Primera''''' (Japanese: '''トップ''' ''Top''), literally Spanish for "The First", a title derived from her positions as Top Champion and chairwoman.

==In the core series games==
Geeta is depicted as having a caring and wise personality, along with a calm and pragmatic demeanor. She actively supports the growth of Trainers, as shown when she acknowledges [[Nemona]]'s enthusiasm for battling and her desire for a personal rival, noting that Nemona approaches her battles with the player with a level of seriousness she had not previously shown, even against herself. She also takes particular interest in the player's progression to Champion rank. Geeta further remarks that she is "utterly incapable of holding back when it comes to Pokémon battles".

As Top Champion and chairwoman of the Pokémon League, Geeta oversees Paldea's [[Gym]]s and the [[Elite Four]]. She also performs inspections of the Gyms via battles multiple times a year. Typically, she is the one who battles the Gym Leaders, but after the player becomes a [[Champion]], she will send them to perform the inspections instead. She is a very powerful figure in Paldea's Pokémon League, as evidenced by her personally choosing all of the region's [[Gym Leader]]s<ref>'''Geeta''': ''"To find this out, I ask that you bring your full might as Champion to bear against each of the Gym Leaders and test their prowess in battle. They are all Trainers of exceptional talent, handpicked by me personally."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> and, according to [[Rika]], using her skill to influence the members of the Elite Four into joining.<ref>'''Rika''': ''"Her skills are so amazing, she was able to strong-arm all of us into joining the Elite Four."'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet)</ref> Additionally, she has instructed [[Katy]] to "go soft" during Gym Battles and [[Larry]] to use a different [[type]] for his Elite Four battles, the former because the [[Cortondo Gym]] is near Naranja{{sup/9|S}}/Uva{{sup/9|V}} Academy and therefore attracts many novice Trainers. She also has a lot of involvement with Naranja{{sup/9|S}}/Uva{{sup/9|V}} Academy as the chairwoman of its school board; she states that the academy's entrance hall was redesigned by her and renovated a few years ago, suggesting that is why it is filled with books.<ref>'''Geeta''': ''"Now, tell me… What do you think of our entrance hall? Do you enjoy being surrounded by books? [...] That’s good to hear. It was renovated a few years ago, and I was the one who came up with the new design!"'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet)</ref>

Members of Paldea's Pokémon League have mixed opinions of Geeta; Rika praises her before the player battles her in their Champion Assessment, while several Gym Leaders express discomfort towards her during Gym inspections. Katy expresses dissatisfaction about being unable to battle at her full strength during Gym battles, [[Tulip]] says she is "not exactly [Geeta’s] biggest fan", [[Grusha]] admits that inspections make him anxious because he fears that he will have nothing left if he does not pass them, and [[Ryme]] briefly expresses irritation that Geeta sent the player to inspect the [[Montenevera Gym]] in her place.

===Victory Road===
After the player has obtained all eight [[Gym Badges]] and defeated the Elite Four, they can battle Geeta, the Top Champion of Paldea's Pokémon League, on the building's rooftop. The player emerges as a Champion-ranked Trainer upon victory, while Geeta and the Elite Four members congratulate the player. Upon exiting the building, the player is greeted by [[Nemona]], who excitedly asks the player whether they have become a Champion already. She wants to immediately challenge them to battle, but Geeta reminds her that “Champions must be understanding toward their opponents” and advises she let the player rest before finding a more suitable battlefield.

===★ Starfall Street ★===
Geeta is mentioned, but not seen, in this storyline. After the player successfully completes Operation Starfall and reforms Team Star, [[Penny]] confesses to Director [[Clavell]] that she illegally hacked the Pokémon League's [[League Point|LP]] management system to reward them. Clavell brings Geeta to the academy to decide on Penny's consequences. However, the two ultimately praise Penny for her technical skills and Geeta recruits her into voluntarily helping her with engineering for the League, inviting Penny to work there after she graduates.

===Post-game===
After the player's adventure in [[Area Zero]], Clavell and Nemona decide to host a Pokémon battle tournament to test the player's strength as a Champion. Geeta agrees to give the Pokémon League's support in sponsoring the event, but when Nemona invites Geeta to participate, Geeta is initially unable to do so as she is preoccupied by her imminent Gym inspections. The player agrees to do the inspections in Geeta's stead, giving her time to compete in the event, now named the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], appearing as the player's final opponent when it is held for the first time. She can be battled as a random final opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments.
===The Indigo Disk===
After the player becomes Champion of the BB League, Geeta travels to [[Unova]]'s [[Blueberry Academy]] with Rika to ask the player, [[Carmine]] and [[Kieran]]'s assistance in venturing through [[Area Zero]] with [[Briar]]. She gives the player the [[Indigo Disk]] to access the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] before leaving with Rika. Afterwards, Geeta can be invited back to Blueberry Academy as a special coach, where she can be [[rematch]]ed with an altered team. She may also interact with other Trainers in the [[League Club Room]]; in one instance, Geeta, when talking with [[Poppy]], discovers that Poppy is trying to draw a picture of her, which is a nod to Geeta's concept art.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20231217021830/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1736207644665221229</ref>

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Geeta debuted in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', being introduced as the chairwoman of [[Naranja Academy]]'s school board to [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]]. She and [[Clavell]] explained the [[Tera Training]] course to the new students and gave the three their own [[Tera Orb]]s. She later watched the battle between Liko and [[Ann]] along with the Paldea [[Elite Four]].

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' and ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', Geeta appeared watching the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] battles. During Liko and [[Katy]]'s battle against [[Rika]], Geeta noticed [[Grusha]]'s interest in the young Trainer.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', alongside Clavell, Geeta was introduced to {{an|Terapagos}} during a meeting with [[Friede]], Liko, Roy, and Dot. After telling them what she knew about the Pokémon, Geeta talked about [[Area Zero]], and together with Clavell recommended that the group seek help from [[Raifort]] to find out more about Terapagos and [[Laqua]].

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Geeta was talking with Ryme and Larry during the Naranja Academy tournament. Later, she, alongside Clavell were in the staffroom with Liko and Grusha. Geeta and Clavell informed Liko that Grusha re-evaluated his thoughts and passed Liko in her implementation test due to her heroic acts of fighting against the Explorers and winning to protect the school. Geeta further complimented Liko on how her battling skills are truly worthy of using Terastallization in battle, much to Liko's surprise and joy.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Geeta and Rika met up with Liko to discuss the results of her training, she then watched Liko's battle against Roy.

In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', Geeta battled against Liko, Roy, and Dot to test their strength and see if they are fit to enter Area Zero. Geeta managed to defeat Roy and Dot before losing to Liko, resulting in her loss and giving the Rising Volt Tacklers permission to enter Area Zero.

In [[HZ101]], Geeta meet Liko and the others again as she still believes the Rising Volt Tacklers are not enemies. After attending a lecture by Dot about the [[Strong Sphere]] with Clavell, Geeta decided to appoint [[Jacq]] to study [[Laquium]] and its effects on Pokémon.

====Character====
Geeta has a calm, kind, and polite personality, and as the head of the Paldea Pokémon League she takes her work very seriously. She is encouraging and honorable as a person such as when she encouraged Liko on her progress as a trainer, and congratulated her passing Grusha's test and saving the school. Befitting her status as the Paldea champion, Geeta is a strong and experienced trainer who loves battling against other strong trainers, and is very strategic with her attack plans against her opponents, usually staying calm and focused mid battle. According to her, she is incapable of holding back in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Geeta debuted in [[PASV12]]. She, along with [[Rika]], was first seen watching the [[Gym]] battle between {{Scarlet}} and [[Iono]] in [[Levincia]]. Later that night, Geeta and Rika encountered Scarlet and tried introducing themselves to her, only for the latter to coldly ignore them.

Later, Geeta, Rika, [[Poppy]], and [[Hassel]] appeared outside the [[Medali|Treasure Eatery]] to greet [[Larry]]. Geeta explained that everyone came to investigate a report the Pokémon League received claiming that Larry attacked some Trainers unprovoked, though noted it was likely false. Larry clarified the Trainers he fought were [[Team Star]] members harassing an [[Uva Academy]] student, which he noted was worse than their usual acts of misbehavior. When Geeta mentioned a fake student hired by [[Raifort]] to look for the [[treasures of ruin]], Rika remembered seeing Raifort with Scarlet the night they met and concluded the latter was the fake student in question.

Later, [[Nemona]] received a phone call from Geeta, who requested that she come meet with her at the [[Medali Gym|Treasure Eatery]]. Geeta specified the meeting was for Champion-ranked Trainers only, so Nemona was forced to temporarily split off from traveling with Scarlet.

==In the TCG==
[[File:GeetaObsidianFlames226.jpg|200px|thumb|Special illustration rare Geeta]]
{{main|Geeta (Obsidian Flames 188)}}
'''Geeta''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Ruler of the Black Flame}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Obsidian Flames}} expansion, with artwork by [[kirisAki]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[DOM]] were released in the same sets. It allows players to search their deck for up to 2 {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s and attach them to one of their Pokémon; the trade-off, however, is that none of the player's Pokémon can attack after the card is used until the end of that player's turn.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Geeta is shown in concept art to be fond of [[Poppy]], giving her candy to keep in her key-shaped purse and spending time with her while Poppy draws.
* Geeta's original team can be seen to represent the different biomes around [[Paldea]]:
** {{p|Espathra}} are found in [[Asado Desert]]
** {{p|Gogoat}} are found in mountainous areas
** {{p|Veluza}} are found in the seas
** {{p|Avalugg}} represents [[Glaseado Mountain]]
** {{p|Kingambit}} represents the bamboo groves of [[North Province (Area Two)]]
** {{p|Glimmora}} are found in [[Area Zero]]
** Geeta's team after completing [[The Indigo Disk]] further represents various biomes:
*** {{p|Dragapult}} are found near lakes and swamps
*** {{p|Chesnaught}} represents Geeta's visit to the [[Terarium]]
* In [[Pokémon HOME]], a [[Research Task (HOME)|Research Task]] titled "The Pokémon of the [[Elite Four]]" that features the final Pokémon on the teams of each member of Paldea's Elite Four also features Glimmora to represent Geeta, implying her to be an Elite Four member, though this is not stated in the games.

Jaminux: /* In the core series games */ The previous version suggested that Geeta specifically told Larry to use Flying-types, which isn't true. Also rewriting the first section before Victory Road to condense it.

'''Geeta''' (Japanese: '''オモダカ''' ''Omodaka'') is the chairwoman of the {{pal|Pokémon League}} in [[Paldea]], as well as the chairwoman of [[Naranja Academy|Naranja]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]'s{{sup/9|V}} school board. She is Paldea's highest-ranked {{pkmn|Champion}}-level {{pkmn|Trainer}}, the strongest among the region's Champion-ranked Trainers, and the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} with the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Top Champion''' (Japanese: '''トップチャンピオン''' ''Top Champion''). Geeta is widely known across Paldea as '''''La Primera''''' (Japanese: '''トップ''' ''Top''), literally Spanish for "The First", a title derived from her positions as Top Champion and chairwoman.

==In the core series games==
Geeta is depicted as having a caring and wise personality, along with a calm and pragmatic demeanor. She actively supports the growth of Trainers, as shown when she acknowledges [[Nemona]]'s enthusiasm for battling and her desire for a personal rival, noting that Nemona approaches her battles with the player with a level of seriousness she had not previously shown, even against herself. She also takes particular interest in the player's progression to Champion rank. Geeta further remarks that she is "utterly incapable of holding back when it comes to Pokémon battles".

As Top Champion and chairwoman of the Pokémon League, Geeta oversees Paldea's [[Gym]]s and the [[Elite Four]]. She also performs inspections of the Gyms via battles multiple times a year. Typically, she is the one who battles the Gym Leaders, but after the player becomes a [[Champion]], she will send them to perform the inspections instead. She is a very powerful figure in Paldea's Pokémon League, as evidenced by her personally choosing all of the region's [[Gym Leader]]s<ref>'''Geeta''': ''"To find this out, I ask that you bring your full might as Champion to bear against each of the Gym Leaders and test their prowess in battle. They are all Trainers of exceptional talent, handpicked by me personally."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> and, according to [[Rika]], using her skill to influence the members of the Elite Four into joining.<ref>'''Rika''': ''"Her skills are so amazing, she was able to strong-arm all of us into joining the Elite Four."'' (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet)</ref> Additionally, she has instructed [[Katy]] to "go soft" during Gym Battles and [[Larry]] to use a different [[type]] for his Elite Four battles, the former because the [[Cortondo Gym]] is near Naranja{{sup/9|S}}/Uva{{sup/9|V}} Academy and therefore attracts many novice Trainers. She also has a lot of involvement with Naranja{{sup/9|S}}/Uva{{sup/9|V}} Academy as the chairwoman of its school board; she states that the academy's entrance hall was redesigned by her and renovated a few years prior to the game's events, suggesting that is why it is filled with books.<ref>'''Geeta''': ''"Now, tell me… What do you think of our entrance hall? Do you enjoy being surrounded by books? [...] That’s good to hear. It was renovated a few years ago, and I was the one who came up with the new design!"</ref>

Members of Paldea's Pokémon League have mixed opinions of Geeta; Rika praises her before the player battles her in their Champion Assessment, while several Gym Leaders express discomfort towards her during Gym inspections. Katy expresses dissatisfaction about being unable to battle at her full strength during Gym battles, [[Tulip]] says she is "not exactly [Geeta’s] biggest fan", [[Grusha]] admits that inspections make him anxious because he fears that he will have nothing left if he does not pass them, and [[Ryme]] briefly expresses irritation that Geeta sent the player to inspect the [[Montenevera Gym]] in her place.

===Victory Road===
After the player has obtained all eight [[Gym Badges]] and defeated the Elite Four, they can battle Geeta, the Top Champion of Paldea's Pokémon League, on the building's rooftop. The player emerges as a Champion-ranked Trainer upon victory, while Geeta and the Elite Four members congratulate the player. Upon exiting the building, the player is greeted by [[Nemona]], who excitedly asks the player whether they have become a Champion already. She wants to immediately challenge them to battle, but Geeta reminds her that “Champions must be understanding toward their opponents” and advises she let the player rest before finding a more suitable battlefield.

===★ Starfall Street ★===
Geeta is mentioned, but not seen, in this storyline. After the player successfully completes Operation Starfall and reforms Team Star, [[Penny]] confesses to Director [[Clavell]] that she illegally hacked the Pokémon League's [[League Point|LP]] management system to reward them. Clavell brings Geeta to the academy to decide on Penny's consequences. However, the two ultimately praise Penny for her technical skills and Geeta recruits her into voluntarily helping her with engineering for the League, inviting Penny to work there after she graduates.

===Post-game===
After the player's adventure in [[Area Zero]], Clavell and Nemona decide to host a Pokémon battle tournament to test the player's strength as a Champion. Geeta agrees to give the Pokémon League's support in sponsoring the event, but when Nemona invites Geeta to participate, Geeta is initially unable to do so as she is preoccupied by her imminent Gym inspections. The player agrees to do the inspections in Geeta's stead, giving her time to compete in the event, now named the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], appearing as the player's final opponent when it is held for the first time. She can be battled as a random final opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments.
===The Indigo Disk===
After the player becomes Champion of the BB League, Geeta travels to [[Unova]]'s [[Blueberry Academy]] with Rika to ask the player, [[Carmine]] and [[Kieran]]'s assistance in venturing through [[Area Zero]] with [[Briar]]. She gives the player the [[Indigo Disk]] to access the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] before leaving with Rika. Afterwards, Geeta can be invited back to Blueberry Academy as a special coach, where she can be [[rematch]]ed with an altered team. She may also interact with other Trainers in the [[League Club Room]]; in one instance, Geeta, when talking with [[Poppy]], discovers that Poppy is trying to draw a picture of her, which is a nod to Geeta's concept art.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20231217021830/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1736207644665221229</ref>

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Geeta debuted in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', being introduced as the chairwoman of [[Naranja Academy]]'s school board to [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]]. She and [[Clavell]] explained the [[Tera Training]] course to the new students and gave the three their own [[Tera Orb]]s. She later watched the battle between Liko and [[Ann]] along with the Paldea [[Elite Four]].

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' and ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', Geeta appeared watching the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] battles. During Liko and [[Katy]]'s battle against [[Rika]], Geeta noticed [[Grusha]]'s interest in the young Trainer.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', alongside Clavell, Geeta was introduced to {{an|Terapagos}} during a meeting with [[Friede]], Liko, Roy, and Dot. After telling them what she knew about the Pokémon, Geeta talked about [[Area Zero]], and together with Clavell recommended that the group seek help from [[Raifort]] to find out more about Terapagos and [[Laqua]].

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Geeta was talking with Ryme and Larry during the Naranja Academy tournament. Later, she, alongside Clavell were in the staffroom with Liko and Grusha. Geeta and Clavell informed Liko that Grusha re-evaluated his thoughts and passed Liko in her implementation test due to her heroic acts of fighting against the Explorers and winning to protect the school. Geeta further complimented Liko on how her battling skills are truly worthy of using Terastallization in battle, much to Liko's surprise and joy.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Geeta and Rika met up with Liko to discuss the results of her training, she then watched Liko's battle against Roy.

In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', Geeta battled against Liko, Roy, and Dot to test their strength and see if they are fit to enter Area Zero. Geeta managed to defeat Roy and Dot before losing to Liko, resulting in her loss and giving the Rising Volt Tacklers permission to enter Area Zero.

In [[HZ101]], Geeta meet Liko and the others again as she still believes the Rising Volt Tacklers are not enemies. After attending a lecture by Dot about the [[Strong Sphere]] with Clavell, Geeta decided to appoint [[Jacq]] to study [[Laquium]] and its effects on Pokémon.

====Character====
Geeta has a calm, kind, and polite personality, and as the head of the Paldea Pokémon League she takes her work very seriously. She is encouraging and honorable as a person such as when she encouraged Liko on her progress as a trainer, and congratulated her passing Grusha's test and saving the school. Befitting her status as the Paldea champion, Geeta is a strong and experienced trainer who loves battling against other strong trainers, and is very strategic with her attack plans against her opponents, usually staying calm and focused mid battle. According to her, she is incapable of holding back in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Geeta appeared in a video in ''[[PPW04|Breathe Together]]'', along with [[Poppy]] and [[Rika]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Geeta Adventures.png|thumb|x300px|Geeta in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Geeta debuted in [[PASV12]]. She, along with [[Rika]], was first seen watching the [[Gym]] battle between {{Scarlet}} and [[Iono]] in [[Levincia]]. Later that night, Geeta and Rika encountered Scarlet and tried introducing themselves to her, only for the latter to coldly ignore them.

Later, Geeta, Rika, [[Poppy]], and [[Hassel]] appeared outside the [[Medali|Treasure Eatery]] to greet [[Larry]]. Geeta explained that everyone came to investigate a report the Pokémon League received claiming that Larry attacked some Trainers unprovoked, though noted it was likely false. Larry clarified the Trainers he fought were [[Team Star]] members harassing an [[Uva Academy]] student, which he noted was worse than their usual acts of misbehavior. When Geeta mentioned a fake student hired by [[Raifort]] to look for the [[treasures of ruin]], Rika remembered seeing Raifort with Scarlet the night they met and concluded the latter was the fake student in question.

Later, [[Nemona]] received a phone call from Geeta, who requested that she come meet with her at the [[Medali Gym|Treasure Eatery]]. Geeta specified the meeting was for Champion-ranked Trainers only, so Nemona was forced to temporarily split off from traveling with Scarlet.

==In the TCG==
[[File:GeetaObsidianFlames226.jpg|200px|thumb|Special illustration rare Geeta]]
{{main|Geeta (Obsidian Flames 188)}}
'''Geeta''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Ruler of the Black Flame}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Obsidian Flames}} expansion, with artwork by [[kirisAki]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[DOM]] were released in the same sets. It allows players to search their deck for up to 2 {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s and attach them to one of their Pokémon; the trade-off, however, is that none of the player's Pokémon can attack after the card is used until the end of that player's turn.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Geeta is shown in concept art to be fond of [[Poppy]], giving her candy to keep in her key-shaped purse and spending time with her while Poppy draws.
* Geeta's original team can be seen to represent the different biomes around [[Paldea]]:
** {{p|Espathra}} are found in [[Asado Desert]]
** {{p|Gogoat}} are found in mountainous areas
** {{p|Veluza}} are found in the seas
** {{p|Avalugg}} represents [[Glaseado Mountain]]
** {{p|Kingambit}} represents the bamboo groves of [[North Province (Area Two)]]
** {{p|Glimmora}} are found in [[Area Zero]]
** Geeta's team after completing [[The Indigo Disk]] further represents various biomes:
*** {{p|Dragapult}} are found near lakes and swamps
*** {{p|Chesnaught}} represents Geeta's visit to the [[Terarium]]
* In [[Pokémon HOME]], a [[Research Task (HOME)|Research Task]] titled "The Pokémon of the [[Elite Four]]" that features the final Pokémon on the teams of each member of Paldea's Elite Four also features Glimmora to represent Geeta, implying her to be an Elite Four member, though this is not stated in the games.

'''Rei''' (Japanese: '''テル''' ''Teru'') is the male [[player character]] of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and acts as a [[friend]] character in the same game if the player chooses to play as his female counterpart, {{ga|Akari}}. He is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps. Along with Akari, he's the only Trainer to use the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''The Survey Corps'''' (Japanese: '''ちょうさたい''' ''Research Team'').

He bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Lucas}} of the modern day, but the relationship between the two, if any, is unknown.

== Terminology ==
'''Rei''' (Japanese: '''テル''' ''Teru'') is the name given to him im his role as an NPC in the core series. It is also used to refer to the male player character in pre-release promotional media for {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. This name is later used for the [[Rei (Masters)|protagonist character]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. On the Pokémon Legends: Arceus website, he is called both the '''Main Character''' and '''protagonist''' when referring to his role as the player, not granting him any name, while mentioning his role as an NPC as Rei in the same instance.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]: "''The Main Character and Akari or Rei''"</ref>

==In the core series games==
===As the protagonist===
'''Website blurb:''' ''"As the protagonist of the Pokémon Legends: Arceus game, you’ll join the Galaxy Team as a member of the Survey Corps. Your goal will be to meet every species of Pokémon from every corner of the Hisui region as you work to complete the land’s first-ever Pokédex."''

Rei finds himself in a strange void and is sent [[Time travel|back in time]] to [[Hisui]] by {{p|Arceus}}, who tasks him with seeking out all Pokémon and transforms his smartphone into the [[Arc Phone]]. A stranger to the land and wearing odd clothes, he meets [[Professor Laventon]], who invites him to join the [[Galaxy Team]] Survey Corps of [[Jubilife Village]] as a way of obtaining food and shelter. The Survey Corps also wish to fill out the [[Pokédex]], and so, after proving himself worthy through trials set by Captain [[Cyllene]], Rei is admitted into their ranks.

As part of his duties, he is directed by Commander [[Kamado]] to seek out the recently frenzied [[Noble Pokémon|noble Pokémon]] and quell their frenzy. After all of them are quelled, the rift in the sky that caused the frenzies expands even further. As such, Kamado banishes Rei from Jubilife Village out of suspicion. He follows the merchant [[Volo]] to meet with [[Cogita]], where he heeds their guidance and seeks out the [[lake guardians]] in order to obtain the [[Red Chain]]. He allies with the leader of the [[Diamond Clan]], [[Adaman]], or the leader of the [[Pearl Clan]], [[Irida]], to have them aid him in his task. Though the Red Chain fails to work as originally planned, Rei is still able to catch {{p|Dialga}}, if he sided with Adaman, or {{p|Palkia}}, if he sided with Irida. The other, frenzied counterpart is later stopped by Rei with the use the [[Origin Ball]] crafted from remnants of the Red Chain, ultimately causing the rift to disappear.

Afterwards, Rei collects the [[Plate]]s with Volo and Cogita's help. Once 17 of the 18 Plates have been collected, Rei meets with Volo atop [[Mount Coronet]], where it is revealed that Volo's consorting with {{p|Giratina}} was the cause of the rift. He attacks Rei in an attempt to take the Plates for himself. After being defeated, he gives Rei the final Plate, the [[Spooky Plate]], allowing Rei to obtain the [[Azure Flute]].

Once Rei has completed the Pokédex, he returns to the summit of Mount Coronet and plays the Azure Flute, revealing a glowing stairway that leads him to the [[Hall of Origin]], where Arceus challenges him. After being defeated, Arceus grants Rei a fragment of itself and the [[Legend Plate]].

===As a non-playable character===
'''Website blurb:''' ''"A Survey Corps member who’s close to your age and has been with the Survey Corps for some time. The appearance you choose at the beginning of the game will determine whether Akari or Rei appears as your fellow team member."''

Rei works as Professor Laventon's assistant, helping to teach the player how to catch Pokémon and how [[crafting]] works. Each time the player completes a mission, he joins the Professor and the player for some potato {{wp|mochi}}. During the game's climax, he assists the Professor in crafting the Origin Ball.

For the release of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Rei's outfit was released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Rei (Masters)}}
Rei, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Decidueye}} and Hisuian {{p|Braviary}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Rei became a playable sync pair on October 1, 2023.

Rei first appeared as an NPC during the [[story event]] [[Together in an Unknown Land]]. In this game, Rei arrived on [[Pasio]] by traveling through a [[Space-time distortion|space-time rift]], where he also mentions that present-day Pasio feels familiar to him, but he doesn't think this is the world he was originally from. It has also been pointed out by multiple characters in the game, about the similarities between him and {{mas|Lucas}}.

'''Akari''' (Japanese: '''ショウ''' ''Shō'') is the female [[player character]] of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and acts as a [[friend]] character in the same game if the player chooses to play as her male counterpart, {{ga|Rei}}. She is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps. Along with Rei, she's the only Trainer to use the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''The Survey Corps'''' (Japanese: '''ちょうさたい''' ''Research Team'').

She bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Dawn}} of the modern day, but the relationship between the two, if any, is unknown.

== Terminology ==
'''Akari''' (Japanese: '''ショウ''' ''Shō'') is the name given to her in her role as an NPC in the core series. It is also used to refer to the female player character in pre-release promotional media for {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. This name is later used for the [[Akari (Masters)|same character]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. On the Pokémon Legends: Arceus website, she is called both the '''Main Character''' and '''protagonist''' when referring to her role as the player, not granting her any name, while mentioning her role as an NPC as Akari in the same instance.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]: "''The Main Character and Akari or Rei''"</ref>

Internal default name data for the female player character in Pokémon Legends: Arceus refers to her as '''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari''), the same name as the female player character for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The name is not used for the character in any other material, and the two are otherwise treated as separate entities.

==In the core series games==
===As the protagonist===
'''Website blurb:''' ''"As the protagonist of the Pokémon Legends: Arceus game, you’ll join the Galaxy Team as a member of the Survey Corps. Your goal will be to meet every species of Pokémon from every corner of the Hisui region as you work to complete the land’s first-ever Pokédex."''

Akari finds herself in a strange void and is sent [[Time travel|back in time]] to [[Hisui]] by {{p|Arceus}}, who tasks her with seeking out all Pokémon and transforms her smartphone into the [[Arc Phone]]. A stranger to the land and wearing odd clothes, she meets [[Professor Laventon]] who invites her to join the [[Galaxy Team]] Survey Corps of [[Jubilife Village]] as a way of obtaining food and shelter. The Survey Corps also wish to fill out the [[Pokédex]], and so, after proving herself worthy through trials set by Captain [[Cyllene]], Akari is admitted into their ranks.

As part of her duties, she is directed by Commander [[Kamado]] to seek out the recently frenzied [[Noble Pokémon|noble Pokémon]] and quell their frenzy. After all of them are quelled, the rift in the sky that caused the frenzies expands even further. As such, Kamado banishes Akari from Jubilife Village out of suspicion. She follows the merchant [[Volo]] to meet with [[Cogita]], where she heeds their guidance and seeks out the [[lake guardians]] in order to obtain the [[Red Chain]]. She allies with the leader of the [[Diamond Clan]], [[Adaman]], or the leader of the [[Pearl Clan]], [[Irida]], to have them aid her in her task. Though the Red Chain fails to work as originally planned, Akari is still able to catch {{p|Dialga}}, if she sided with Adaman, or {{p|Palkia}}, if she sided with Irida. The other, frenzied counterpart is later stopped by Akari with the use the [[Origin Ball]] crafted from remnants of the Red Chain, ultimately causing the rift to disappear.

Afterwards, Akari collects the [[Plate]]s with Volo and Cogita's help. Once 17 of the 18 Plates have been collected, Akari meets with Volo atop [[Mount Coronet]], where it is revealed that Volo's consorting with {{p|Giratina}} was the cause of the rift. He attacks Akari in an attempt to take the Plates for himself. After being defeated, he gives Akari the final Plate, the [[Spooky Plate]], allowing her to obtain the [[Azure Flute]].

Once Akari has completed the Pokédex, she returns to the summit of Mount Coronet and plays the Azure Flute, revealing a glowing stairway that leads her to the [[Hall of Origin]], where Arceus challenges her. After being defeated, Arceus grants Akari a fragment of itself and the [[Legend Plate]].

===As a non-playable character===
'''Website blurb:''' ''"A Survey Corps member who’s close to your age and has been with the Survey Corps for some time. The appearance you choose at the beginning of the game will determine whether Akari or Rei appears as your fellow team member."''

Akari works as Professor Laventon's assistant, helping to teach the player how to catch Pokémon and how [[crafting]] works. Each time the player completes a mission, she joins the Professor and the player for some potato {{wp|mochi}}. During the game's climax, she assists the Professor in crafting the Origin Ball.

==Blurb==
''Are you Game?''

''Then let the fun begin! It's time to show off your Pokémon smarts -- and have loads of fun doing it. Inside this book you'll find all the coolest Pokémon games and activities.''

''You can'' 
''Unravel secret codes...''

Question 6 on the next page also erroneously states that {{p|Hoothoot}}, a {{type|Flying}}, can defeat {{p|Phanpy}}, a {{type|Ground}}, despite neither being super effective against the other.
* On pages 38-39 and 71, while {{Ash}} was correct in stating that {{p|Igglybuff}} is not a {{type|Fire}}, it can learn several Fire-type moves (meaning {{TRT}} may have been telling the truth in saying that Igglybuff used {{m|Flamethrower}} against them).
* On page 41, it is erroneously stated that {{p|Onix}}, a {{type|Rock}} can beat {{p|Grimer}}, a {{type|Poison}} with Rock-type moves. This should state that Onix can use {{type|Ground}} moves to beat Grimer.

Talk:List of Pokémon Trading Card Game Live avatar items

2025-08-16T05:18:37Z

Jaminux: /* Move to Avatar Customizations */ Reply

==Move to Avatar Customizations==
[[File:TCG Live Coin Removal Announcement.png|300px]]

Announcement points out that the menu were these are purchased was a name all along. Forget "avatar items", apparently those hats, glasses, shoes, etc, have the group name of "Avatar Customizations". [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 21:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

:I mostly agree with this, but I think it would be better to move this article to "Avatar Customization" with no S at the end. The menu for it is called Avatar Customization outside of this announcement, and moving the page there would be in line with other articles such as Masters's [[Trainer Settings]]. Additionally, the menu includes options that aren't in the form of obtainable items such as facial features, hairstyles, and poses, so to label them as avatar items or categorize them in the same way as other customizations would be inaccurate.

Pokémon USA recasting controversy

2025-07-31T08:36:56Z

Jaminux: edited for tone, grammar, and clarity

{{Bulbanews|Opinion: Fans rally to combat anime change}}
{{Bulbanews|Cartoon Network reportedly in negotiations with Pokémon USA}}
On March 21, 2006, it was discovered that Pokémon USA (now a part of [[The Pokémon Company International]]) was going to recast the voices for the English dub of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' starting in season nine. This caused a controversy in the Pokémon fan community, one large enough to be acknowledged by Pokémon USA. Some of the voice actors who were supposedly given the chance to stay with the dub unlike their former main cast counterparts initially, like [[Carter Cathcart]] and [[Kayzie Rogers]], were credited under pseudonyms for some time as "Jamie Peacock" and "Billy Beach" as well.

==Background==
The recasting was in part, the result of [[4Kids Entertainment]], the company behind the English dub of ''Pokémon the Series'' since its first season, losing its Pokémon license at the end of 2005, having produced its final episode of the main anime in [[AG145|''Pasta La Vista!'']] on July 8, 2006, and its final dub in general in [[M08|''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'']], released on September 19, 2006.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060212111424/http://www.4kidsentertainment.com/docs/news/2005-1223.pdf ''Pokémon USA Moves Licensing In-House In 2006'' - KSCA Public Relations Worldwide (December 23, 2005)]</ref><ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-12-23/pokemon-usa-takes-over-pokemon-licensing "Pokemon USA Takes Over Pokemon Licensing" - Anime News Network]</ref> According to former 4Kids Production president [[Norman J. Grossfeld]], because the voice actors in all of 4Kids's productions including its Pokémon dubs, were contractually barred from performing their roles for a different company for a certain period of time (one year, according to him),<ref name="4kidsflashback"> Sands, Tara, & Yurko, Steve. "Nor-man's Land with Norman Grossfeld." ''4Kids Flashback'', Spreaker, 13 Dec 2023. [https://www.4kidsflashback.com/episodes/4kids-normans-land https://www.4kidsflashback.com/episodes/4kids-normans-land], 38:59–42:51.</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naUL66MyiBY&t=239s Stuart Zagnit Interview]</ref> this supposedly prevented a number of them from being brought onto the new English dub being produced by Pokémon USA/[[The Pokémon Company International]].

This did not stop everyone, however, and many of the actors according to him approached Grossfeld and asked if he would enforce that stipulation per his claim. Grossfeld stated in the podcast ''4Kids Flashback'' that he never provided the actors with advice on what decision to make. "I'm not in a place to undermine 4Kids Productions's business by telling you something or not," said Grossfeld. "So ultimately, the actors made their own decision. Whatever way they made their decision, they made their decision. We never actually enforced that clause."

However, [[Veronica Taylor]], [[Eric Stuart]], [[Rachael Lillis]], and [[Maddie Blaustein]] have all claimed in various interviews that they were recast without being asked by Grossfeld or TAJ Productions (the company responsible for the dubs of Seasons 1-most of 5 before the dub moved in house and 9-10)/[[The Pokémon Company International]]<ref name="4kidsflashback" /> whether they wanted to continue voice acting for the show altogether. The contracts were not impermeable and could be broken as stated in retrospect by Grossfeld on ''4Kids Flashback'', but neither [[4Kids Entertainment]] nor [[The Pokémon Company International]] informed the former major main cast of this or gave them the choice to continue onward with the Series at the time. In an interview with YouTube channel Underbelly, [[Stuart Zagnit]] claimed in his account of the events that both Grossfeld's story and the former main cast's story were true, meaning that while there was a sunset clause of 1 year present, it was also true that none of the voice actors were replaced without being given the chance to continue onward with the Series at the time and were simply replaced.

The special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', which aired on April 29, 2006, was used as a testing ground for the new voice actors, with [[Kayzie Rogers]] initially providing the voice of Ash before the role was recast to [[Sarah Natochenny]] in the redub of the Special. The new voice actor of Brock at the time, [[Bill Rogers]], said he thought that Eric Stuart had voluntarily left the show when he first heard that he was auditioning for Pokémon at TAJ Productions under [[The Pokémon Company International]] conversely.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9ecb9-m2v4&t=1240s Bill Rogers Interview]</ref> Additionally, [[James Carter Cathcart]] had supposedly posted under the pseudonym "OldGuardTruthSeeker" on Bulbagarden and Serebii Forums criticizing 4Kids at the time while Maddie Blaustein as "maddie_joan" criticized TPCi, with Cathcart claiming that he was the best James at one point and that it would be proven in time.

"Pokémon USA has decided that it's too expensive to use 4Kids and the actors that have made Pokémon the TV show such a success for the last 10 years. They have 'behind our backs' re-cast the show with 'sound-alikes' to try to save money. They actually believe the fans don't care. They are starting with the 10 year anniversary special - starring all new voices. The main cast, me included, has taken a lot of pride in the characters we have helped to create. To change now, on the last season, based on greed is a sad example of what big business kids marketing really is.

Please spread the word - maybe some fan buzz can stop this tragedy.

Comments: A Letter From Eric:

I want to thank the fans for all of the support. You have really made me feel the work I have done has actually meant something. I have enjoyed making the voices for Brock, James (even Butch!) come to life. It has been a fun ride.

I do want to clarify a few things based on what I have read around the internet. It’s amazing what power some of you think we voice actors have. Yes I have directed a bunch of cartoons but I have no say to what the content is. We do adaptations. All the director does is try to piece together individual performances and match lip flap. What changes in the story is due to a lot of different factors including the broadcast standards of America compared to Japan.

Next I would like to address my personal situation. I love doing these voices. I feel very attached to the characters I have helped to create. As for the financial gain, yes it’s a job, but if you only knew the small part of the pie we voice actors get for dubbing you wouldn’t be so quick to judge. When I said PUSA is driven by greed they think they can do it all without the original voice actors and 4kids. We didn’t want more money they wanted to spend less overall and that cut into the talent budget. It’s much more complicated. And yes, PUSA is being greedy. They will learn though, trust me, just try to tune in to Pokémon next season. You may have a hard time finding it on any network.

Lastly, for those of you who over the last 10 years have corresponded with me you know where I stand with the fans. For those of you who want to speculate on what my motivations are, so be it, you don’t know me or don’t care to find out the truth behind my rant. I am less angry than I am disappointed. It would have been nice to have had a chance to finish the Pokémon legacy. Now it ends on a sour note.

All I ask is one thing: When you watch the original cast episodes remember that those actors worked hard and loved ‘being’ the characters you grew to know so well. It was much more than a job to all of us.

Thanks,

Eric."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070814045549/http://pokemonpalace.net/index.php?id=save_dub PPN Save the Dub Campaign]</ref>

"Hey Scott-
Unfortunately, this is very real. We have been informed that Pokémon USA has already made plans to do the Anniversary special with substitute voices. Apparently, they haven't made a firm decision on the next season yet. None of us have been formally asked to do the show, we've simply been told we'll be replaced. Pokémon USA has made no effort to negotiate with 4Kids, simply feeling that getting a cheaper rate to dub the show is enough. They care nothing for the quality. They will be using new script writers, voices, music, etc. We (the voice actors and those at 4Kids who work so hard on the show) are all extremely upset as we care very much for Pokémon and what we've worked to create. However, there is nothing that we can do. It seems that the only recourse is for fans to write to Pokémon USA and tell them how wrong their decision is and how it will adversely affect the show.

Thanks for your concern. Please spread the word and let's all try to work together to right this wrong before it's too late.

"hey Steve-

Thanks for your note. Unfortunately this is all too true. Pokémon USA recently informed us that they are dubbing the Anniversary special with sound alikes. They are not sure about the next season. None of us (actors, script writers, etc.) have even been asked to continue working on the show. They have not even attempted to negotiate with 4kids. They say that the show will be exactly the same even though they are replacing all the elements and using all new people totally unfamiliar with the project. We are all extremely upset about this turn of events as we care so much about the show and have no say in the matter whatsoever. I am hoping that if enough people write to Pokémon USA and express their dismay, we may right this wrong before it is too late!

Subject: More about rumors rlil2001

Interesting that we just had a discussion about rumors.

Apparently the new voice of Brock posted on Serebii's message
board. I can't not look at the boards, I guess. It's like a car
wreck. I might register with this message board myself just to
reply to this. This is just making me angrier. (yes, I know who
this person is) Just the first part of the message is posted here
since I don't have time to respond to the whole thing right now.

This person does not speak for us and does not know our business or the specifics of why we aren't doing the show. The contracts do not per se prevent us from doing the show. It was that _no one even appoached us to do it, no negotiations, nothing, was done to allow the possbility._ The contract is not impermeable in this fashion, and this VA has no idea what he's talking about. That's why all of this is very shady and why I'm very angry.

URGH. This is one headache of an example of rumors.

He wrote more, but I have to go. I just wanted to clear this up here. This person should not be speaking for anyone, especially what isn't true."<ref>[https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/theincrediblerachellillis/conversations/topics/1696 The Incredible Rachael Lillis!]</ref>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"As for the non-compete clause--I'll say it again in this message if the person or anyone else wondering about this wants to read it for him or herself without looking through the archives.
The contract did not present unimpeachable terms whatsoever. We could very well have continued with the show, that is, if we knew what was going on in the first place.
We didn't know the licensing contract was ending. We didn't know they were considering soundalikes. No job offers were made.
In fact, the producer at 4Kids had been sent the materials for the next season and was awaiting further correspondence. There was no indication anything out of the ordinary was going on, until the decision had already been made.
Now, you can take a job away if it's yours to take. No one disputes that. But the reason used to justify these decisions was an erroneous reference to the original actors' contracts.
Anyone who has seen a 4Kids' actor's contract knows that the cited reason is not correct. It's never a good idea to discuss other people's contracts publicly, especially when you haven't seen them.
The new VA who posted on that message board and whoever wrote that blurb on PUSA's website were, one could conclude, perpetuating hearsay.
Who started or allowed the hearsay? That's my question, although I have a good idea who it is."<ref>[https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/theincrediblerachellillis/conversations/topics/2201 The Incredible Rachael Lillis!]</ref>

=== New voice actors ===
==== [[Bill Rogers]] ====
The new voice actor of Brock, [[Bill Rogers]], posted under the name [http://www.serebiiforums.com/member.php?39369-NewBrock "NewBrock"] at Serebii.Net Forums. His first post was this open letter:

<blockquote>
"Hello everyone,

I am hesitant to post here as I fear that many of you are greatly upset with what you heard from this weekend’s special, but I feel that someone from the new group of VAs must speak up.

Please understand that during this tough transitional time, the new voice actors that are working on Pokemon are trying their best to fill some very big shoes. In the past, I have had the opportunity to speak with many of the original Pokemon actors. They are terrific, talented people and I have a great respect for all the work that they have done in these past eight years to bring Pokemon to television, movies, etc. Unfortunately, due to the contracts that these actors have signed with 4Kids, they are no longer able to work on Pokemon. So, no matter what letter writing campaigns you start, these actors will not be allowed to work on Pokemon outside of the 4Kids studios.

That said, the new actors that have been brought in to voice these existing Pokemon characters are trying very hard to capture the spirit of the original cast. So please, don’t look at us as horrible people who are stealing jobs away from others. Instead, try to understand that we are actors who admire those who came before us and only wish to do all that we can to produce the best show possible.

This new Pokemon project only started a short while ago and many of us have been researching previous episodes to find a way to best capture the spirit of the show. Together with TAJ Studios, we are working with producers, directors and engineers who worked on the show’s earlier seasons. These professionals are also trying their hardest to get us to the right place so that this transition will work for the fans. This will take a little time, but we are working hard to make the fans happy. Please believe me when I say that I am not involved in this project for a “quick buck”. When I was asked to take over as the voice of Brock, I was honored that I would be able to carry on a legacy, and I promise you here and now that I will do the best I can to make that possible.

My reasoning for posting to this site is twofold. Firstly, I wish to inform the fans about the process that is going on to keep Pokémon the same great show it always was. And secondly, I wish to get feedback from the fans that I can take into the studio with me to help improve whatever I can to make the show great. I welcome all the input that you have, but please be mindful that there is a human being at the other end of this dialogue. I know that everyone at TAJ studios is concerned with the outcry of the fans over what has happened. Please try to help us make this show work for you.

I will post more in the days ahead, but for now I thank you for your time and patience during this transition.
Sincerely,
The New Voice of Brock

PS – Please understand at this time I can not post my real name due to possible repercussions from all the negative energy out there on the internet and in the world outside the web."

== Fan reaction ==
Reactions from fans ranged from mixed to negative. In a [https://bulbagarden.net/threads/new-voice-actors-discussion-read-first-post-before-posting.12542/ discussion thread on Bulbagarden Forums], reactions were mostly negative. Two campaigns, [[Save Our Voice Actors]] and [[Support Our Cast And Crew|Support Our Cast And Crew,]] had also been formed after the recast.

===PUSA's response===
After a number of letters and emails were sent to Pokémon USA, the following response was posted in May 2006 at Pokémon.com:

<blockquote>
"Dear Pokemon fans,

Whew! The last couple of days have been exhausting for us -- we've been going through all of the emails concerning the television special we aired recently, The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon. The show was fantastic, with a mostly positive response. Many said the action was "awesome", that the plot and storyline were "outstanding", and that the overall look of the animation was "very, very cool." Once again, you've proven yourself to be the best fans in the world, and we always appreciate your comments!

We also heard you were concerned with the new voice actors, and many of you have voiced your concern (pun intended) through your e-mails and letters. Believe us - we are fans of the TV show, too, and we care just as much about something like voice changes as you do. We changed the voice actors for the main characters because we were told that the actors who used to provide voices to our characters had conflicting contractual commitments. So, we hope you will help us welcome the new voice actors into the Pokémon family - we think they're great, and they did a great job on The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon during the shortened transition period between production studios... Nothing else was changed, and it is still the same awesome show you're used to seeing every week, with great storylines straight from Japan, original music, and a well-thought out plot (which is the most important thing when producing a TV show)!

Pokémon has always been about fair play and teamwork, and we expect the same from our fans. In other words, if you have comments, complaints or praise, let us know directly at Feedback@pokemon.com. We always welcome constructive criticism!

We are, and always have been, dedicated to our fans and how passionately and strongly they believe in Pokémon. We promise to always take your concerns to heart as we continue to make the show your favorite every week. Watch this space in the upcoming days for even more exciting news about Pokémon, and don't forget to check out our Pokémon coverage from E3 next week!

Yours truly,

==Aftermath and returning voice actors==
After complaints from fans about Ash's voice, which was done by [[Kayzie Rogers]] (as "Jamie Peacock"), the role of Ash was recast. It was announced at Comic Con International that [[Sarah Natochenny]] would do the voice of Ash, and ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' special was re-dubbed with her voice.

During early seasons of PUSA's ''Pokémon the Series'' dub, only five 4Kids actors played roles (not counting recycled audio from past episodes): [[Rodger Parsons|Ken Gates]] (credited as '''Rodger Parsons'''), [[Kayzie Rogers]] (credited as '''Jamie Peacock''' prior to ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''), [[Carter Cathcart|Jimmy Zoppi/James Carter Cathcart]] (credited as '''Billy Beach'''), [[Matthew Mitler]], and [[List of English voice actors|David Lapkin]], who returned at the beginning of [[S10|season 10]]. Parsons regained his role of the [[narrator]]; Rogers continued voicing [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Mimey]], [[Ash's Cyndaquil]], [[Ash's Totodile]], and [[Gary's Umbreon]]; and Zoppi was still the voice of [[Gary Oak]] and [[Dr. Namba]].

Other former 4Kids voice actors started returning to ''Pokémon the Series'' supposedly after the non-compete clauses in their contracts expired. Initially, they were ones who had only played minor or recurring characters, such as [[Marc Thompson]], [[Dan Green]], and [[Amy Palant]]. However, in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy]]'', [[Rachael Lillis]] voiced [[Maylene]], and later {{p|Sunflora}} and {{p|Shinx}}, making her the first main cast member of the 4Kids dub to return to the series since the voice switch, but left shortly thereafter in 2008 and died in 2024. [[Maddie Blaustein]] returned briefly before her death in 2008, voicing {{p|Chatot}} in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]''.

Seven voice actors ultimately reprised their roles previously done in the 4Kids dub in the TPCi dub by the end of the Series. In ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!]]'', [[Ted Lewis]] reprised the role of {{an|Giovanni}}, while [[Mike Pollock]] reprised the role of [[Raoul Contesta]] in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''. Much later, Bella Hudson, credited as [[Erica Schroeder]], voiced an older [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'', and [[Sean Schemmel]] voiced {{SSB|Lucario}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]. [[Andrew Paull]] reprised the role of [[Steven Stone]] in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', and [[Wayne Grayson]] reprised the role of [[Lance]] in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]''. Lastly, [[Megan Hollingshead]] reprised the role of [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', after a gap of almost 16 years.

In ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', several actors from the original movie's English dub reprised their roles. Ted Lewis reprised the role of [[Corey]] (alongside Giovanni), Carter Cathcart as [[Fergus]] and [[Lisa Ortiz]] as {{OBP|Miranda|M01}}. In addition, [[Dan Green]] returns as the voice of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, having first voiced the character in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', over 18 years prior.

Pokémon constellation

2025-07-08T11:31:52Z

Jaminux: /* In TCG */ Rephrased to be more encyclopedic

'''Pokémon constellations''' appear multiple times in the [[Pokémon]] games and {{aniseries|PTS}}. Currently, no star charts or lore exist for {{wp|constellation}}s in the [[Pokémon world]].

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Six [[Pokémon sign]]s appear on [[Pokémon Island]], and each has a corresponding constellation. [[Professor Oak]] draws the connection between the signs and the constellations, and thus forms the theory that the rarest Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}, can be found up in the sky with the constellations on [[Rainbow Cloud]].

File:Cubone constellation Snap.png|{{p|Cubone}} constellation
File:Mewtwo constellation Snap.png|{{p|Mewtwo}} constellation
File:Dugtrio constellation Snap.png|{{p|Dugtrio}} constellation
</gallery>

The inclusion of Mewtwo as a constellation does not correspond with Mewtwo's role in other games, as Mewtwo was created relatively recently in the game timeline and is not widely known. However, this oversight is generally overlooked.

===[[Pokémon Channel]]===
When visiting [[Viridian Forest (Channel)|Camp Starlight]] during clear weather, there is the option to stargaze. The constellations in the game are the same as those noted below in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', which was released in Japan a week before this game. Pressing A when a constellation is selected provides information about each one.
* The {{p|Teddiursa}} Constellation consists of seven stars. It is said that if a crescent moon were to shine on Teddiursa's forehead, those who saw it would enjoy terrific dreams.
* The {{p|Ursaring}} Constellation is composed of seven brilliant stars. It has been long adored as one of the constellations of the springtime.
* The {{p|Milotic}} Constellation encircles the Teddiursa Constellation as if it were providing comfort. It casts its beautiful glow in the northern night sky all year round.
* The {{p|Seviper}} {{p|Machoke|bearer}} Constellation boldly claims a spot beside the Gligar Constellation as its own. The Bearer keeps a firm and unbreakable grip on Seviper's head and tail.
* {{p|Gligar}} is a star constellation that is renowned for decorating the sky on summer night. Connect the stars arranged in an "S" shape, and a Gligar appears.
* This star constellation [The Kyogre Constellation] crosses the Milky Way as if it were {{p|Kyogre}} moving across the starry sky. It is an impressive summertime sight.
* The {{p|Gardevoir}} Constellation is the second largest among the night's star formations. Its elegant appearance is sure to impress all that see it.
* The {{p|Pikachu}} Star is one that glitters brightly in the skies on summer nights. The Pikachu Star is always smiling near the Gardevoir Constellation.

In this episode, {{Ash}} and [[Ritchie]] stargazed as they camped out. They pointed out a few constellations, but they seemed to create their own instead of locating existing constellations.
* {{p|Onix}}
* {{p|Pikachu}}

During the credits, once the second verse of [[A Small Thing|the ending theme]] begun, Ash, [[Max]], {{an|May}}, and {{an|Brock}} begun pointing out constellations in the sky. These appeared to be [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|Pokémon world equivalents]] of real constellations (with the exception of Pikachu, which is shown as the equivalent of a single star).

===''[[SM079|Showering the World with Love!]]''===
{{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Lana}} pointed out constellations of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Ninetales}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}. Ash identified constellations of Pikachu and {{p|Poipole}}, but {{an|Kiawe}} said he's never heard of those ones, making Ash admit he was just making up his own constellations. The Pikachu constellation was different from the one seen in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
Constellations were mentioned in ''[[PS525|The Transfer Student]]'' when {{adv|Whitley}} informed the class that she likes to stargaze, and especially likes to look at the constellation of {{p|Gothorita}}.

==In TCG==
In TCG merchandise for the [[Sun & Moon TCG Series merchandise|Sun and Moon series]], there is a "Look Upon the Stars" line that includes a playmat and sleeves. The Pokémon constellations depicted on these correspond to the following real constellations:

==Mentioned only==
The names of the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]] and the (Japanese: '''ヌイコグマ座流星群''' ''{{tt|Nuikoguma|Stufful}} meteor shower'') from ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'' imply that {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Stufful}} constellations exist, respectively.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Gothorita}} arranges stones in shape of constellations and {{p|Gothitelle}} can predict future from the position of the stars according to Pokédex.
* The Unovan [[horoscope]] consists of 12 zodiacs which are based on the real western {{wp|zodiac}}s and their corresponding constellations.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the names of Trainers that compete in [[Wyndon Stadium/Champion tournaments|Champion tournaments]] refer to real world stars and constellations.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the five Squads of [[Team Star]] are each named after a star in the constellation {{wp|Cassiopeia (constellation)|Cassiopeia}}. Moreover, their bases are positioned around [[Paldea]]'s map in the shape of said constellation, which also shares its name with Team Star's leader, [[Cassiopeia]].

'''Pokémon Pop Quiz''' by Carli Entin is a book which quizzes the reader on Pokémon facts from {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the [[S01|first season]] of {{aniseries|PTS}}. It was published by [[Scholastic]].

==Blurb==
<ab>'''''Got Pokémon Power?'''''

''How much do you really know about all 151 Pokémon plus Togepi, their trainers, friends, and foes? Get ready to find out right here, right now!'' Pokémon Pop Quiz ''packs in the facts, and measures your Pokémon brain power. If you've gotta, gotta,'' gotta ''know it all, here's the place to start.''
</ab>

==Trivia==
*{{ga|Blue}} and [[Gary Oak|Gary]] are both referred to as "Gary" in this book.
*{{OBP|Pokémon|species}} names include the {{wp|trademark symbol}} ⟨™⟩ on some activities.
*The name of the Pokémon Stadium activities may be a reference to [[Pokémon Stadium|the game of the same name]].
===Errors===
*On page 13, question 17 erroneously states that {{p|Rhydon}} live underground in lava.
*On page 14, the close-up of {{p|Poliwag}}'s swirl is drawn with an extra loop.
*On page 15, the close-up of {{p|Magnemite}} is indistinguishable from {{p|Magneton}}.
*On page 19, question 7 erroneously states that the player needs to [[In-game trade|trade]] {{p|Slowpoke}} instead of {{p|Slowbro}} to get a {{p|Jynx}}. Question 8 on the same page erroneously states that {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Golem}}, {{p|Machamp}}, and {{p|Gengar}} will [[evolution|evolve]] when traded. The question, which asks which Pokémon will only evolve when traded, likely intended to ask which Pokémon Evolutions can only be obtained via trading.
*On page 20, question 10 erroneously states {{p|Fearow}}'s [[type]] as {{2t|Flying|Normal}} instead of Normal/Flying.
*On page 23, question 4 erroneously states that because {{p|Graveler}} is a {{2t|Rock|Ground}}-type, it is more likely to win again {{p|Persian}}, a Normal-type, despite neither Pokémon's types being [[super effective]] against one another.
*On pages 28 and 35, {{p|Wartortle}}'s ears are the same color as its head.
*On page 31, question 32 erroneously states that there are six [[Team Rocket]] Trainers on [[Nugget Bridge]] when there are five Trainers unaffiliated with Team Rocket on the bridge and one {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} at the end.
*On page 33, question 36 refers to the [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Guru]] as the "Old Fishing Guru".
*On page 41, question 62 erroneously states that earning the {{Badge|Soul}} increases all Pokémon's Defense [[stat]] instead of Speed.
*On page 43, the [[Seafoam Islands]] are referred to as "Seafoam Island". Additionally, despite being in the section title, there are no questions about the Seafoam Islands.
*On page 55, {{m|Rage}} is referred to as "Rage Attack".
*On page 57, [[Grampa Canyon]] is referred to as "Grandpa Canyon".
*On page 62, question 48 misspells {{p|Exeggcute}} as "Exeggute".
*On page 64, question 55 erroneously states that [[Florinda Showers|Florinda]]'s [[Leaf Stone]] did not work on her {{p|Gloom}} in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]'' because the Leaf Stone was fake when it actually did not work because Gloom didn't have enough battle experience.
*On pages 73-75, the answer key has incorrect page numbers for the activities. Some activities that take up two pages also only have one page number for them. Additionally, some activities are not ordered correctly.
*On page 79, [[Vermilion City]] is misspelled as "Vermilon City" and [[Suzie]] is referred to as "Susan".

Pokémon Challenge

2025-06-25T00:17:58Z

Jaminux: Expanded lead, blurb, and errors; added Scholastic logo to infobox

{{BookInfobox|
title=Pokémon Challenge |
image=Pokemon challenge.png |
image_size=250|
ISBN=0439530520 |
publisher=[[File:Scholastic logo.png|164px|link=Scholastic]]|
author=[[Tracey West]] and [[Katherine Noll]]|
published=March 2003 |
series=no |
}}

'''Pokémon Challenge''' by [[Tracey West]] and [[Katherine Noll]] is a book that contains riddles and puzzles related to {{aniseries|PTS}} as well as {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]], {{Gen|II}}, and {{Gen|III}}. It was published by [[Scholastic]].
==Blurb==
'''''Got Skills?'''

''Think you can answer the toughest Pokémon riddle? Believe you have what it takes to be a Pokémon champ? Well, here's your chance to prove it. We've filled these pages with the best Pokémon challenges ever, so you can test your knowledge. You'll face off against mind-boggling riddles, and solve secret codes. Test your memory skills...plus much more!''

'''''Are you a true Pokémon Master? Then show 'em all!'''''
==Trivia==
*This book contains two different {{wp|copyright}} years, reading "© 2002" on the back cover and "© 2003" on the inside.
*On page 15, there is a word search containing the names of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. As a reference to their [[type]], the words "shock" and "zap" (the latter separately from {{p|Zapdos}}) are hidden in the word grid.
*On page 28, [[James]]'s name is scrambled as "Semaj". Coincidentally, Semaj is the alias that he used while competing in the [[Grass Tournament]] in ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]''.
===Errors===
* [[Katherine Noll]]'s name is misspelled as "Katherine Nolls" every time that she is mentioned.
* {{p|Hoothoot}}'s name is misformatted as "HootHoot" every time that it is mentioned.
* On page 8, question 5 erroneously states that {{p|Azurill}} has a type advantage over {{p|Donphan}} because {{t|Water}} has an advantage against {{t|Ground}} when Azurill was instead a pure {{type|Normal}} Pokémon [[Fairy (type)|at the time of this book's publication]]. Question 6 on the same page claims that {{p|Remoraid}}, a Water-type Pokémon, has a type advantage over {{p|Sunflora}}, a {{type|Grass}}, when the reverse is true instead.
** One of the answer choices for question 6 is {{p|Typhlosion}}, which has a type advantage against Sunflora as a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and therefore would be the correct answer.
* On page 9, [[M04|''Pokémon 4Ever - Celebi: The Voice of the Forest'']] is misformatted as "Pokémon 4Ever''',''' Voice of the Forest".
* On page 10, question 3 shows {{p|Azumarill}}'s ears, but {{p|Azurill}} is in the word list and answer key instead.
* On pages 15, 51, and 54, {{p|Flaaffy}}'s name is misspelled as "Flaafy".
* On page 21, [[PK07|''Pikachu & Pichu'']] is erroneously referred to as "{{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pichu}} in the City" and the [[Pichu Brothers]] are instead called the "Pichu twins".
* On page 29, [[M03|''Pokémon 3: The Movie - Spell of the Unown: Entei'']] is erroneously referred to as "Pokémon the Movie 3: Spell of the Unknown" and {{p|Entei}}'s [[Pokémon category|category]] is misformatted as "'''v'''olcano Pokémon" instead of "'''V'''olcano Pokémon".
* On page 50, {{p|Raikou}}'s name is misspelled as "Raiku".
* On page 52, the answer for question 4 of Hidden Name Challenge highlights "to get ice" as the Pokémon hidden in the sentence, misspelling {{p|Togetic}}'s name as "Togetice".
* On page 57, {{p|Kecleon}}'s name is misspelled as "Kekleon".

'''Sawyer''' (Japanese: '''ドリバル''' ''Drival'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Honchkrow}}. The sync pair can be obtained through the limited [[sync pair scout]], and was first available on July 30, 2021. The pair's potential can be upgraded to {{6EX}} from September 19, 2024, which unlocks Sawyer's EX style.

Sawyer also forms a sync pair with {{form|Gimmighoul|Chest Form}} {{p|Gimmighoul}}. This pair can be obtained through a variety sync pair scout beginning on September 17, 2024. This pair can be raised to {{6EX}} since it first released, though this pair lacks an EX style.

==In the games==
{{incomplete|section|Role in Pokémon Masters EX}}
Sawyer, along with [[Rachel]], is one of [[Lear]]'s subordinates.

In his [[sync pair story]], Sawyer reveals that he was appointed as Lear's personal bodyguard by the queen of an unknown country, Lear's mother. When it was still a {{p|Murkrow}}, Sawyer's {{p|Honchkrow}} snuck into the royal treasure room and scratched some of the queen's jewels. Despite popular demand for his Murkrow to be punished, the queen did not do so, which saved its life. In return, his Murkrow took a liking to the queen and guarded her family as well as the kingdom. When she died, Sawyer was shocked and upset, but has since vowed to be more vigilant towards Lear in her honor.

'''Miror B.''' (Japanese: '''ミラーボ''' ''Mirābo'') is a recurring character and major antagonist from {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Wanderer''' (Japanese: '''さすらい''' ''Wanderer'').

==In the games==
==={{g|Colosseum}}===
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Miror B. is one of the four {{tc|Cipher Admin|Admins}} of [[Cipher]]. He is loud and flamboyant, spoils his Pokémon, and would rather spend time teaching them how to dance than fulfilling his duties as a Cipher Admin. An example of this is seen in [[Pyrite Town]], where he allows his grunts to do whatever they want as long as they leave him alone so he can practice his dancing.
[[File:Miror B Colosseum.png|thumb|220px|Miror B. in Pokémon Colosseum]]
Miror B. makes his first appearance in [[Phenac City]], where [[Wes]] and [[Rui]] find him "terrorizing" the mayor, [[Mayor Es Cade|Es Cade]]. He pauses to drop some vague hints regarding Cipher's involvement, then leaves Phenac City to return to [[Pyrite Town]]. In the meantime, his personal peons attack Wes and are subsequently defeated.

After the player reaches Pyrite Town, it is discovered that Miror B. is controlling the town with an iron fist. Having kidnapped [[Duking]]'s {{p|Plusle}} and holding it hostage, Miror B. has effectively blackmailed the town's reigning hero into uselessness, allowing him to run the [[Pyrite Colosseum]] and hand out [[Shadow Pokémon]] without resistance. Although Duking's subordinate [[Silva]] attempts to foil the scheme by sneaking into the [[Pyrite Bldg]] in order to rescue Plusle, he is greatly overpowered by the guards. Fortunately, he is rescued by Wes and Rui, who proceed into the [[Pyrite Cave]] and challenge Miror B. After his defeat, Miror B. leaves town and Plusle is returned to Duking, restoring Duking's power.

Miror B. appears again at [[Realgam Tower]], where he is guarding [[Red ID Badge|one of the keys]] needed to unlock the path to the main tower. He later appears as an opponent in the [[Deep Colosseum]] as the last opponent of the first round. Revisiting Miror B.'s "dance stage" prior to defeating [[Evice]] will reveal a unique Cipher Peon named [[Mirakle B.]], who claims to be Miror B.'s successor.

When Wes first confronts Miror B., his Pokémon consist of four Ludicolo and a Shadow {{p|Sudowoodo}} (later replaced by {{p|Armaldo}}), though he uses more variety in his Pokémon during later matches. Miror B.'s battle strategy consists of stalling his opponent, using {{m|Rain Dance}} to boost his Pokémon's abilities while slowly draining the opposing Pokémon's HP with moves such as {{m|Mega Drain}} and {{m|Leech Seed}}.

==={{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}===
Miror B. later appears in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. Here, he is no longer an Admin of Cipher, but is instead attempting to set up his own group, Team Miror, which consists of himself, [[Trudly]] and [[Folly]], and is seeking to own all the Pokémon in the world.

In this game, when a Shadow Pokémon is defeated before it is snagged and its Trainer cannot be rebattled, Miror B. will obtain the Pokémon. After [[Michael]] meets Miror B. for the first time, he obtains the [[Miror Radar]], which alerts him when Miror B. has entered an area. He can be found at any Poké Spot, and occasionally can be fought as an opponent in the Pyrite and Realgam Colosseum challenges. Miror B. will only show up if the player is currently missing a Shadow Pokémon.

He also has three set appearances, each with a unique Shadow Pokémon to snag: the first meeting at the {{DL|Poké Spot|Cave Poké Spot}} where he has a Shadow {{p|Voltorb}}, the [[Outskirt Stand]] in which he has a Shadow {{p|Nosepass}} (though it cannot be snagged in this encounter due to not having the Snag Machine at the time), and [[Gateon Port]]'s lighthouse, where he will only appear once all other Shadow Pokémon in the game have been snagged. In this final battle, he will use a Shadow {{p|Dragonite}}, which is mentioned to have been stolen from the Cipher Key Lair and be the last one produced prior to its shutdown.

After his defeat and the snag of his Dragonite, Miror B. escapes once more. As he flees, he finds the transmitter to the Miror Radar in his afro and removes it, unaware as to what purpose it served in his repeated defeats. He can be found afterwards at {{DL|Gateon Port|The Krabby Club}}, dancing with Razell and Dazell.

==Trivia==
* Miror B.'s hair resembles a {{i|Poké Ball}} turned on its side.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Miror B.'s outfit resembles the fashion worn by American pop singer {{wp|Michael Jackson}}, particularly his single gloved hand. He also occasionally performs the {{wp|Moonwalk (dance)|moonwalk}}, a dance popularized by (and mostly associated with) Jackson.
* In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the player must battle Miror B. at least four times to capture all [[Shadow Pokémon]] in the game. Since his Shadow {{p|Nosepass}} cannot be snagged at [[Outskirt Stand]] due to the [[Snag Machine]] being unavailable at the time, he must be fought either at [[Pyrite Colosseum]], [[Realgam Colosseum]], or one of the [[Poké Spot]]s to snag it.
* In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Miror B. is the only {{tc|Cipher Admin}} to not have a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* In Pokémon Colosseum, Miror B. is the only Cipher Admin to have a unique battle theme rather than the default Cipher Admin battle theme.
** He is also the only character in the [[Orre]] games to use more than one different battle theme per game, as he uses the Cipher Admin battle theme instead of his own theme during the [[Realgam Tower]] battle in Pokémon Colosseum.
* If the player snags Miror B.'s {{p|Sudowoodo}} during the first battle with him in Pokémon Colosseum without winning the battle, he will not have another Pokémon replace Sudowoodo. This is the only battle in the game where he will not replace his snagged Shadow Pokémon.

Mirakle B.

2025-06-17T09:23:10Z

Jaminux: /* In other languages */

'''Mirakle B.''' (Japanese: '''ミラクルボ''' ''Miraklebo'') is a minor villainous character in [[Pokémon Colosseum]]. He is the self-proclaimed successor to [[Miror B.]].

He is only beginning to work on an afro. He has colored his helmet to look like a {{i|Poké Ball}}, in imitation of Miror B.'s afro. Like Miror B., his suit is yellow and his boots are white. He has bronze sunglasses and a red scarf. His theme music is a sped-up, off-key version of Miror B.'s theme.

He appears at the [[Pyrite Cave]] in the place of Miror B. after Miror B. himself has been defeated. He can only be battled before defeating [[Evice]]; afterwards, [[Reath]] and [[Ferma]] will be in the cave instead.

Aeos Shield

2025-06-17T09:07:32Z

Jaminux: minor cleanup

{{cleanup}}
'''Aeos Shields''' are items in [[Pokémon UNITE]] exclusive to [[Boss Rush]].

== Effect ==
Aeos Shields have a flat body. Half of its body is purple, while the other half is orange. It also has an eye similar to an {{p|Unown}}'s eye.

When used, it emits an orange barrier above it, similar to that of a {{UNITE|Mr. Mime}}'s. This barrier can block attacks from Pokémon.

== Usage ==
An Aeos Shield can be used to protect one player from {{UNITE|Zacian}} in Boss Rush. When used by a player, the user cannot move, but the Aeos Shield can be rotated in any direction. Aeos Shields are temporary and stop when Zacian stops attacking. The Aeos Shield will have no effect if it is not pointed towards the attack.

Area Zero

2025-06-17T09:01:54Z

Jaminux: /* History */ Made minor edits for clarity and tone. Also added clarification that the player's Koraidon/Miraidon is the same as the one the professor was trying to protect so that the paragraph about it defeating the other Koraidon/Miraidon makes more sense

'''Area Zero''' (Japanese: '''エリアゼロ''' ''Area Zero'') is an area located within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] at the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. It is initially accessed from the [[Zero Gate]]. After the {{player}} has entered Area Zero for the first time, they may also enter it by falling through the clouds over the Great Crater of Paldea.

The area is strictly off-limits to most people, though the [[Flying Taxi]] service still covers it. An official school rule, explicitly stated by Director [[Clavell]], forbids any student of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} from entering Area Zero during the Treasure Hunt due to the aggressive {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that live there and the hazardous geography of the area. It contains various [[wild Pokémon]], including [[Paradox Pokémon]], that usually cannot be encountered anywhere else. Additionally, it is where the [[Terastal phenomenon]] originated; [[Tera Orb]]s are made out of the crystals found in Area Zero. Furthermore, if the player Terastallizes their own Pokémon within Area Zero, the Tera Orb will automatically be recharged at the end of the {{pkmn|battle}}.

During the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], the player is accompanied by [[Briar]], [[Carmine]], and [[Kieran]] to the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], a location below the [[Zero Lab]], and by extension, Area Zero.

==In the core series games==
===History===
{{cleanup|section|needs revising for clarity and flow}}
[[File:Lower Area Zero.png|thumb|left|250px|The depths of Area Zero]]
====Background====
2,000 years prior to the events of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], the Paldean emperor attempted many expeditions into Area Zero, starting off the Great Age of Exploration. The reason was due to a rumor that claimed there was a treasure located at the bottom of it. This decision led to the empire declining 1,000 years later.

200 years prior to the games' events, [[Heath]] and the Area Zero expedition team reached the bottom of the location, being the first ones to ever achieve that feat. Heath proceeded to take many notes on the area, the [[Herba Mystica]], the various wild Pokémon, and the first encounter with [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He recorded his research in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} afterwards, but he was accused of fabricating his story and the whole expedition was widely discredited. The expedition team also retrieved the Herba Mystica for a research project, which eventually failed due to local Pokémon consuming the herbs and becoming [[Titan Pokémon]].

A research station was built inside the crater at a later time and, 140 years after the expedition, the [[Terastal phenomenon]] was discovered in Area Zero. The phenomenon still could not be achieved outside of the location, however.

10 years prior to the games' events, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} started an expedition into Area Zero, setting up the [[Zero Lab]]. The professor found a way to activate the Terastal phenomenon outside the crater through the use of [[Tera Orb]]s. They subsequently moved permanently into the Zero Lab to continue more research on Area Zero and Paradox Pokémon as part of the Tera Project, leaving their son [[Arven]] behind to take care of himself. Using the information from [[Briar's Book|a white volume]] they got from the future, they created a [[time machine]] that allowed them to bring [[Paradox Pokémon]] to their timeline, thus populating Area Zero. During a territorial struggle between two different {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, the professor was killed by the [[Area Zero#Area Zero Depths|most aggressive one]] while trying to save the {{ga|Koraidon|friendliest}} {{ga|Miraidon|one}}.

At some point, Arven entered Area Zero in an attempt to find his parent, only for his {{p|Mabosstiff}} to be attacked by a creature described as "rampaging"{{sup/9|S}}/"metallic, machine"{{sup/9|V}}. This injured it to the point where all attempts at using traditional medicine failed to heal it.

===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
=====The Way Home=====
After being called by Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}} in "Path of Legends", the {{player}}, [[Arven]], [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] go to the [[Great Crater of Paldea|great crater]] while riding on {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}.
[[File:Scarlet Koraidon Apex Build.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Koraidon}} transforming into its {{form|Koraidon|Apex Build}} to battle [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]]]
[[File:Violet Miraidon Ultimate Mode.png|thumb|left|250px|{{ga|Miraidon}} transforming into its {{form|Miraidon|Ultimate Mode}} to battle [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]]]
As the group travels to the four research stations around the area to unlock the door to the professor's laboratory, they encounter primeval{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical{{sup/9|V}} Pokémon, which are revealed to have been [[Time travel|brought to the present day from another era]] by a [[time machine]] created by the professor. At the laboratory's entrance, some of these [[Paradox Pokémon]] confront the player and their friends, forcing the player to enter the [[Zero Lab]] alone while their friends fight off the Pokémon outside.

Inside the laboratory, the player discovers that the professor is actually a robot, created by the real professor before they were killed by a second and more aggressive Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The player also discovers that their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} is the same one that the professor attempted to protect prior to their death. The {{wp|artificial intelligence}} within the robot, despite being an exact copy of the professor's memories and knowledge, opposes the original professor's plan to keep the time machine running, as it would threaten to destroy Paldea's ecosystem with an overflow of Paradox Pokémon. However, because the AI is programmed to protect the time machine, the player is forced to battle it against its will.

Once the AI has been defeated, the player is rejoined by their friends, and a program called the Paradise Protection Protocol takes over the robot professor, as well as locking all [[Poké Ball]]s not marked with the professor's ID. Finally regaining its ability to battle, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} confronts and defeats the other, more aggressive Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, putting the Paradise Protection Protocol to an end. The AI, however, recognizes that its systems are so integrally connected with the time machine that the latter cannot be shut down as long as the AI remains present. To solve this problem, the AI travels to another era using the time machine, bidding the player and their friends farewell as it disappears. After the time machine shuts down permanently, the player and their friends decide to take a slow and scenic route back to [[Mesagoza]].

=====[[The Indigo Disk]]=====
After gaining the permission from [[Paldea]]'s [[Pokémon League (Paldea)|Pokémon League]] to go into a new expedition to Area Zero, [[Briar]] invites the {{player}}, [[Carmine]], and [[Kieran]] to serve as her protectors. They eventually reach the bottom and use [[Geeta]]'s [[Indigo Disk]] to redirect the [[Zero Lab]] elevator, allowing them to go deeper down into the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] to find {{ga|Terapagos}}.

==Places of interest==
===Research Stations===
There are four Research Stations located around Area Zero. Constructed 87 years prior to the events of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, they act as way stations for those surveying Area Zero. Upon entering Area Zero for the first time, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} requests that the {{player}}, [[Arven]], [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] visits all four Research Stations to deactivate the locks of the [[Zero Lab]], where they reside. Each of the Research Stations has a [[warp panel]] which can teleport the player to the [[Zero Gate]] or any of the other Research Stations, if they have already been visited. There is also a bed in each, where the player can rest and heal their [[party]].

Each Research Station has journals which describe Professor Sada's{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo's{{sup/9|V}} efforts in studying {{Tera}}stallization, [[Terastal energy]], [[Paradox Pokémon|ancient Pokémon]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Paradox Pokémon|future Pokémon]]{{sup/9|V}}, and {{p|Terapagos|the being linked to the Terastallization}}.

===Zero Lab===
{{main|Zero Lab}}
The Zero Lab is where Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}} conducted their research. It is located at the very bottom of Area Zero. It's also where the Professor built their [[time machine]], allowing them to bring ancient Pokémon{{sup/9|S}}/future Pokémon{{sup/9|V}} to Area Zero. Through the [[Indigo Disk]], the lab's elevator can move down to [[Area Zero Underdepths]].

===Strange symbols===
In a huge cavern, strange symbols have been inscribed into its ground. It's unknown who or what inscribed them there, but [[Heath]] pondered if they could have been left by past explorers sent by the Paldean empire or even older still.

===Metal plate===
A big metallic plate inscribed with symbols similar to Paldea's present day map located in the same cavern the previous strange symbols were inscribed in. The material the plate is made of is extremely resistant and it's unknown how and why it was created.

===Area Zero Underdepths===
[[File:Area Zero Underdepths.png|thumb|200px|The Area Zero's Underdepths]]
{{Main|Area Zero Underdepths}}
Area Zero Underdepths is a large cavern and an extension of Area Zero. It's located about 3,300 feet (1 kilometer) under the surface and appears to have formed about 2 million years ago. It is located under the Zero Lab and by extension, under Area Zero itself. It is solely inhabited by {{p|Glimmet}}, {{p|Glimmora}}, {{p|Carbink}}, and a few wild {{Tera}}stallized Pokémon. It is also where the last of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Terapagos}} slumbers.

[[File:SV Koraidon.png|thumb|200px|Koraidon at the bottom of Area Zero]]
After finishing {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|The Way Home}}, the player can encounter the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} on a small, raised plateau at the very bottom of Area Zero.

Koraidon will always have an Adamant [[Nature]], while Miraidon will always have a Modest Nature. If defeated, they can be battled again after the game has been rebooted, provided that over one hour has passed in [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Time|internal clock]] since their defeat. They are coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

[[File:Area Zero anime.png|thumb|250px|Area Zero in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===Pokémon Horizons: The Series===
Area Zero was first mentioned in ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', where [[Geeta]] revealed that it is managed by the [[Paldea League|Paldea Pokémon League]], and that a Pokémon resembling {{p|Terapagos}} was once sighted there. [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] showed interest in seeing the place in person, but [[Clavell]] revealed that an accident happened there recently, and that entering wasn't possible at the moment. Geeta assured the trio that she'd accompany them there someday.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', in a flashback, [[Briar]] narrated to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] about her ancestor [[Heath]]'s expedition to Area Zero, where he had encountered a Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', in a flashback of 100 years prior to the events of the series, [[Rystal]] reveals to [[Lucius]] that she had found her Terapagos [[Pagogo]] while exploring the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], in Area Zero.

In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', [[Briar]] contacted the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and informed them that a {{p|Gouging Fire|Pokémon}} resembling {{p|Entei}} had been sighted within Area Zero. They decided to meet with her and travel to Area Zero to try and find Lucius's {{TP|Lucius|Entei}}. In the [[HZ079|following episode]], after emerging victorious together in a [[Triple Battle]] against {{pkmn|Champion|Top Champion}} [[Geeta]], Liko, Roy, and Dot were granted permission to enter Area Zero along with [[Friede]], who had been granted permission on his merits as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. Meanwhile, [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] entered the area illegally in order to monitor the Rising Volt Tacklers's activities.

In [[HZ080]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede meet up with Briar, as they start their search for Lucius's Entei. However, Roy encounters a wild {{p|Sandy Shocks}} and gets separated from the group. Coral tries to follow, but encounters a wild {{p|Scream Tail}} and teams up with it to battle a {{p|Great Tusk}}. Roy defeats Sandy Shocks and goes to reunite with the group, as he tells the girls and Friede what he saw. Coral accidentally catches Scream Tail, which she nicknames Onipurin, and introduces it to Sidian.

In [[HZ081]], the Rising Volt Tacklers and Briar finally encounter Lucius's Entei, which was revealed to be a [[Paradox Pokémon]] named {{P|Gouging Fire}} that Lucius and Rystal confused with an Entei. Gouging Fire took Lucius's belt from Liko and they started a battle. When Dot took it back, they passed the test, and Gouging Fire joined them and the other heroes. At the end, Pagogo and the five heroes summoned the remaining one, the [[Black Rayquaza]].

In [[HZ082]], the Rising Volt Tacklers started their battle with the Black Rayquaza, using Area Zero's terrain to their advantage to hit it from all sides. Eventually, only {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} was left, forcing Pagogo to step up and join Liko to battle Rayquaza as well. Pagogo then shared its energy with Crocalor, {{Tera|Terastallizing}} it and allowing them to perform the final hit before calling Rayquaza back to the Poké Ball. As a result of gathering all Six Heroes, Pagogo regained all of its power and Rayquaza started leading the [[Brave Olivine]] to [[Laqua]].

==Trivia==
* Despite the area's heavy association with the [[Terastal phenomenon]], {{DL|Terastal phenomenon|wild Tera Pokémon}} cannot be found in Area Zero, except in the {{FB|Area Zero|Underdepths}}.
* The [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldean Pokédex]] does not list Area Zero as a spawn location for any of the Pokémon that spawn there, and is also the only area in the game without any form of map.
* The Paldean Pokédex states that {{p|Glimmet}} has a "very rare" spawn chance. However, they are quite common in Area Zero - particularly in the deeper portions of the area - despite appearing rarely in the rest of Paldea, potentially implying some connection between Glimmet and Area Zero.
** This connection is reinforced by also commonly being found around the [[Crystal Pool]].
* The fact that {{form|Floette|White Flower}} {{p|Floette}} is the only form that spawns in Area Zero may be referencing the [[Death in the Pokémon world|death]] of [[Professor Sada]]/[[Professor Turo]], due to the fact that white blossoms, specifically the white {{wp|Chrysanthemum}} flower in Japan, symbolize grief, and are often used in funerals.
* Every {{wp|moth}}-based Pokémon present in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} can be found in Area Zero, namely {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Masquerain}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, {{p|Frosmoth}}, {{p|Slither Wing}}{{sup/9|S}}, and {{p|Iron Moth}}{{sup/9|V}}. This may be a reference to moths' perceived attraction to light, given Area Zero's extremely bright surface and caverns filled with glowing crystals. It may also be another reference to death, which moths often symbolize.
**Volcarona is the only Pokémon with Paradox Pokémon relatives to be found in Area Zero and in the same area as them.
* Area Zero is internally referred to as {{wp|Atlantis}} in the game's files.
