&#039;&#039;&#039;Caterpie&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: &#039;&#039;&#039;キャタピー &#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Caterpie&#039;&#039;) is a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 7, which evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Biology==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Caterpie emitting stench.png|thumb|left|250px|Caterpie emitting a terrible stench]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caterpie is a serpentine Pokémon that resembles the larvae of the {{wp|Spicebush Swallowtail}}. It is a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its body. It also has large yellow eyes with black pupils. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antenna ({{wp|osmeterium}}) on its head, which releases a stench to repel predators. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caterpie will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. It can also spit this silk in order to entangle foes as seen in &#039;&#039;[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]&#039;&#039;. It has a voracious appetite that causes it to eat leaves larger than itself. It primarily feeds on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to [[Pokémon Adventures]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower. Caterpie lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==In the manga==&lt;br /&gt;
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Ash&#039;s Caterpie}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{Ash}}&#039;s Caterpie appears in the manga series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caterpie is the second wild Pokémon that Ash captures in the manga. It was caught in &#039;&#039;[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]&#039;&#039;. It evolves twice in &#039;&#039;[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]&#039;&#039;—first into {{p|Metapod}} while Ash is showing off his Pokémon to {{an|Misty}}, and then into {{p|Butterfree}} during his Gym battle against Misty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ash is not shown releasing his Butterfree in the manga, although it is not seen after &#039;&#039;[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kitty Caterpie.png|thumb|200px|Caterpie in Pokémon Adventures]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Kitty}}&lt;br /&gt;
Caterpie&#039;s first appearance is a cameo in &#039;&#039;[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]&#039;&#039; as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak&#039;s Laboratory]]. It also makes a cameo in &#039;&#039;[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

Caterpie made its main appearance in the {{chap|Yellow}} in &#039;&#039;[[PS049|As Gastly as Before]]&#039;&#039;. With the help of her fishing rod and {{adv|Red}}&#039;s Pika, {{adv|Yellow}} saved a Caterpie from its tree, which was targeted by a fire attack. Caterpie then followed Yellow to where she and {{adv|Blue}} were training, next to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. It took Yellow a whole day to properly catch this Caterpie with a Poké Ball, but once she prevailed, Yellow welcomed Caterpie to her team and called it &amp;quot;Kitty&amp;quot;. It then became one of Yellow&#039;s most useful Pokémon, whose string was commonly used to make floaters. However, in the battle against [[Lance]], Yellow did not have a [[Pokédex]], which she needed to stop her Pokémon from evolving, and so Kitty evolved into {{p|Metapod}} and then into {{p|Butterfree}} right afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
According to the end of the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 1|Volume 1]][[Pokémon Adventures volume 2| &amp;amp; 2]]&#039;s Pokédex, Red captured a Caterpie which evolved into a Metapod and then a Butterfree.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch &#039;Em All manga===&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Caterpie was both the first Pokémon to be captured and the first Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]] in the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
* Caterpie shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Wurmple}}. They are both known as the Worm Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, when it became able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, Caterpie was unable to do anything to a {{t|Ghost}} type outside of {{m|Struggle|struggling}} except {{m|String Shot|lower its Speed}}. It shares this trait with its evolution, {{p|Metapod}}. This is also true for {{p|Weedle}}, and its evolution, {{p|Kakuna}}, against {{t|Steel}} types before {{game|Platinum}} was released.&lt;br /&gt;
** Due to this, it was impossible to complete a [[Generation I]] game using only Caterpie or Metapod, since Struggle couldn&#039;t hit Ghost types at the time.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the anime and in Pokémon Adventures, Caterpie holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least time to evolve twice, taking only [[BW130|one episode]] in the anime and [[PS89|one chapter]] in Pokémon Adventures.&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Polibo|Poliwag]] and [[Togebo|Togepi]] also share this record, but in Pokémon Adventures only.&lt;br /&gt;
* Prior to Generation VI, Caterpie&#039;s body style was [[File:Body02.png]].&lt;br /&gt;
* In &#039;&#039;[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]&#039;&#039;, when Caterpie evolves into Metapod, the process was similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. [[AG142|Later]] [[BW130|episodes]] show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Origin===&lt;br /&gt;
Caterpie is a stylized {{wp|caterpillar}}, most resembling an {{wp|Papilio glaucus|Eastern tiger swallowtail}} caterpillar with the coloration of a {{wp|Papilio troilus|Spicebush Swallowtail}}. Its &amp;quot;antenna&amp;quot; is an {{wp|osmeterium}}, an organ unique to swallowtail caterpillars which, like Caterpie, they use to emit a foul odor. The tip of Caterpie&#039;s tail resembles the horn at the rear end of most species of {{wp|Sphingidae|hawk moth}} larvae.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Name origin====&lt;br /&gt;
Caterpie is a corruption of &#039;&#039;{{wp|caterpillar}}&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon Yellow Special Pikachu Edition&#039;&#039;&#039; (Japanese: &#039;&#039;&#039;ポケットモンスター ピカチュウ&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Pocket Monsters Pikachu&#039;&#039;), often known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon Yellow Version&#039;&#039;&#039; (Japanese: &#039;&#039;&#039;ポケットモンスター {{tt|黄|き}}&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Pocket Monsters Yellow&#039;&#039;), is the third Pokémon game released worldwide, as a [[version|follow up]] to and expansion on {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. In Japan, the game was the fourth Pokémon game released, as a follow up to {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} intended to buy [[Game Freak]] time to rework the then-upcoming [[Generation II]] games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similar to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Yellow arrived towards the end of the [[Game Boy]]&#039;s lifespan. It managed, though, to receive the title of second best-selling non-bundled game for its console, losing only to its predecessors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is currently the only Pokémon game of those released before [[Generation II]] (not counting [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], for which a remake of Green was chosen instead) that has not been remade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Changes from Red, Green, and Blue==&lt;br /&gt;
===Aesthetic changes===&lt;br /&gt;
* The front Pokémon sprites have all been updated to resemble how they appear in their then-current [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork usually used in promotional images and strategy guides for {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, as well as some of them resembling how they appear in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The back sprites are the same as the previous games.&lt;br /&gt;
* Some Trainer sprites were also redone. {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} now better resemble their stock art for [[Generation I]], as the Pokémon sprites do. [[Brock]] wears an outfit like his [[Brock (anime)|anime counterpart]]&#039;s and [[Misty]]&#039;s bikini was changed to a shirt and shorts similar to those worn by [[Misty (anime)|hers]], albeit without suspenders.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kanto]] is slightly redesigned a second time, featuring different designs for doors, signposts and other minor elements. The biggest overhaul was performed on [[Cerulean Cave]], the game&#039;s final dungeon, where the layout was once more changed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Location changes===&lt;br /&gt;
Obtaining the starters from Red, Green, and Blue is possible through in-game events:&lt;br /&gt;
* A girl in [[Cerulean City]] will give the {{player}} a {{p|Bulbasaur}} if the player&#039;s Pikachu has a high [[friendship]].&lt;br /&gt;
* A boy at the north of {{rt|24|Kanto}} gives the player a {{p|Charmander}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* An [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Vermilion City]] will give the player a {{p|Squirtle}} after the {{Badge|Thunder}} has been acquired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Gameplay changes===&lt;br /&gt;
* {{p|Pikachu}} is the only [[starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can have, and [[walking Pokémon|travels with the player]] on-screen, outside of a [[Poké Ball]] like {{OP|Ash|Pikachu}}. The {{ga|Blue|rival}} starts with {{p|Eevee}}, and the three normal [[Kanto]] starters can be obtained later in the game.&lt;br /&gt;
** Furthermore, no other wild Pikachu can be found, thus requiring the player to trade a Pikachu from another [[Generation I]] game or [[Generation II]] game to obtain another one. A traded Pikachu will also not behave like the starter Pikachu, acting as a regular Pokémon instead (even to the point of being able to evolve with a {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Thunderstone}}), unless it matches the [[Original Trainer|OT]] and [[Trainer ID number]] of the player.&lt;br /&gt;
** The [[cry]] of the starter Pikachu, or any Pikachu with the same OT and Trainer ID number of the player for that matter, is changed to &amp;quot;Pika!&amp;quot; when going in battle, &amp;quot;Chaaaaa!&amp;quot; if it faints, or &amp;quot;Pikachu&amp;quot; on the status screen, instead of the original {{p|Pikachu}} cry.&lt;br /&gt;
** The rival will eventually [[Evolution|evolve]] his Eevee (and thus affect which are the other members of his party) depending on the player&#039;s actions early in the game:&lt;br /&gt;
*** If the player beats the rival at both [[Professor Oak&#039;s Laboratory|Oak&#039;s Lab]] and the early optional battle at {{rt|22|Kanto}}, Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}}.&lt;br /&gt;
*** If the player loses one of these two battles or passes up the Route 22 battle, Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}}.&lt;br /&gt;
*** If the player loses at Oak&#039;s Lab, and loses or passes up the Route 22 battle, Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[List of in-game trades|In-game trades]] are changed to different Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Level]]-up learnsets and [[TM]] compatibility are altered slightly for certain Pokémon. {{p|Charizard}}, for example, can now learn {{m|Fly}} via [[HM02]].&lt;br /&gt;
* A minimal [[friendship]] system is implemented to track how Pikachu feels about the player and Pikachu will refuse to evolve. This would later be revamped in [[Generation II]], where the system is vastly improved and applies to all Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Gym Leader]]s have different teams, some based on those that appear in the {{pkmn|anime}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* Enhanced compatibility with the [[Game Boy Color]] is present outside of Japan, providing color palette changes as the player switches locations, whereas the Japanese version is similar to the previous [[Generation I]] games in where it only has [[Super Game Boy]] support. The ability to print out Pokédex entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]] was also implemented in every regional release.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several [[glitch]]es were disabled, and all [[glitch Pokémon]] were altered because the data which was read incorrectly to create them had changed.&lt;br /&gt;
* A {{m|Surf}}ing Pikachu minigame, [[Pikachu&#039;s Beach]], is included. However, to play this the player will have to first teach {{p|Pikachu}} {{m|Surf}}, which requires the use of {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* The location and availability of some [[wild Pokémon]] allows the player to experience the game in a manner similar to the anime. &lt;br /&gt;
** In the anime, {{Ash}} catches a {{p|Caterpie}} and a {{p|Pidgeotto}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. This is reflected in-game as Caterpie (but not {{p|Weedle}}) and Pidgeotto are both available in Viridian Forest for the player to catch. This is the only instance in [[Generation I]] where a Pidgeotto can be caught at a level earlier than {{p|Pidgey}} would evolve into it.&lt;br /&gt;
** The Pokémon that [[Team Rocket]] use ({{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Meowth}} and their evolutions) are not available to be caught in the wild. It would be unlikely that Ash would catch these Pokémon in the anime as they are the primary antagonists. &lt;br /&gt;
** Wild Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} are not available, as Pikachu is the player&#039;s starter Pokémon (furthermore, it is unlikely that Ash would catch another Pikachu or a Raichu).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Storyline changes===&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear and are involved in [[Team Rocket]]&#039;s scheme, and typically appear before the {{player}} battles [[Giovanni]]. They also replace the three Team Rocket members in the [[Pokémon Tower]] that hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage as well as two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s: one close to the exit of [[Mt. Moon]] and the other one near the entrance to the President&#039;s room at [[Silph Co.]] Curiously, they are never referred to by their individual names and share their [[Trainer class]] with any other Team Rocket Grunt, possibly due to [[Double Battle]]s not being implemented until much later in [[Generation III]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pokémon unobtainable in Yellow===&lt;br /&gt;
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Pokémon Yellow. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the paired versions of [[Generation I]], or from [[Generation II]], which has that Pokémon available, which will be indicated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;{{color|{{green color}}|G}}&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; indicates a Pokémon that can be caught in the [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Japanese Green]], and thus in the [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|English Blue]] as well. &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;{{color|{{blue color}}|B}}&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; indicates a Pokémon obtainable in the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]].&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers}}&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike other games, Yellow was inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, and thus, instead of having a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, {{player}}s are forced to start off with a {{p|Pikachu}} that [[Professor Oak]] caught on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. With the {{ga|Blue|rival}} beginning with an {{p|Eevee}}, the player now journeys from [[Pallet Town|Pallet]] to go through an all-new experience&amp;amp;mdash;with no {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}s to fall back on until each member of the [[Kanto]] starter trio is given to the player later on, about a quarter of the way through the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much like before, players journey across Kanto from their hometown, Pallet Town, defeating the eight [[Gym Leader]]s ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]] do not join the player, unlike in the anime) and eventually the [[Elite Four]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Team Rocket]] battles feature yet another special, anime-based surprise, as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] show up, along with their Pokémon, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, {{TP|James|Koffing}}, and {{MTR}}. Beyond these changes, the plot of Yellow is very similar to that of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You&#039;ve finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer]]&#039;s license, and now you&#039;re on your way to becoming the world&#039;s greatest Pokémon Trainer! The shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}} [[walking Pokémon|tags along]] behind {{Player|you}} as you search the enormous world for monsters to train and evolve. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}&#039;s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}&#039;s stormy {{m|Gust}}. Develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Connectivity==&lt;br /&gt;
As well as reprising the ability to allow players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Boy]] [[link cable]], Yellow also debuted a new link battle mode, Colosseum 2. While battling another player&#039;s Pokémon team had been possible since the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} two years before Yellow&#039;s release, Yellow introduced several regulations in Colosseum 2 mode. Battle modes introduced include the [[Pika Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 15 to 20 only; their combined level limit is 50), [[Petit Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 15 to 20, heights under 6&#039;8&amp;quot; (2m), and weights less than 44.1 lbs (20 kg) only) and [[Poké Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 50 to 55 only, and the sum of all entered Pokémon&#039;s levels cannot exceed 155. {{p|Mew}} is not allowed). These three cups would later become standard cups in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
Like {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Pokémon Yellow was also well received by the press. Like its predecessors, it received a perfect 10/10 &amp;quot;Masterful&amp;quot; rating from IGN.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/012/012045.html IGN: Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition] (retrieved December 21, 2009)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, it was criticized as being &amp;quot;just a stopgap to help us wait for the [[Generation II|real sequels]]&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://reviews.cnet.com/legacy-game-platforms/pokemon-yellow-game-boy/4505-9882_7-30965879-2.html?tag=txt;page Pokemon Yellow (Game Boy) Legacy game platform reviews - CNET Reviews] (retrieved December 21, 2009)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Yellow received a slightly lower average score than {{game|Red and Blue|s}} of about 85% on GameRankings. Despite this, it was the site&#039;s top rated [[Game Boy]] game in the year of its release, 1999.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.gamerankings.com/gameboy/198314-pokemon-yellow-version-special-pikachu-edition/index.html Pokemon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition for Game Boy] (retrieved December 21, 2009)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Comparison to the anime==&lt;br /&gt;
The game is loosely based on the original anime series, but has several differences:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Brock]] does not surrender during the [[Pewter Gym]] battle and does not accompany the {{player}} thereafter.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Misty]] is first encountered in the [[Cerulean Gym]]. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, she had left the Gym when {{Ash}} met her.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} are acquired from tasks. In the anime, Charmander is rescued from heavy rain, Squirtle merely follows Ash, and Bulbasaur was caught.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{p|Meowth}} can use {{m|Pay Day}} and does not speak in the game.&lt;br /&gt;
* Bulbasaur and Squirtle are able to evolve in the game.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
While the game&#039;s title has become widely accepted as simply &#039;&#039;Pokémon Yellow&#039;&#039;, its officially recognized name outside of Japan is not entirely certain. On the boxart for most English versions, the expression &#039;&#039;Special Pikachu Edition&#039;&#039; replaces the series&#039; then-current slogan &#039;&#039;[[Gotta Catch &#039;em All!]]&#039;&#039; below the Pokémon logo, while &#039;&#039;Yellow Version&#039;&#039; is at the bottom, near where Red and Blue had theirs. However, the expression &#039;&#039;Special Pikachu Edition&#039;&#039; is repeated on the box&#039;s opening and spine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite this, the instruction manual refers to the game as &amp;quot;the Yellow version of Pokémon&amp;quot;, the [[Red (game)|player]] has the option of being called Yellow, following the trends of the other versions, and &#039;&#039;Yellow Version&#039;&#039; can be seen at the game&#039;s title screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* The opening of Pokémon Yellow features the least Pokémon out of all main series games, fittingly showing &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; {{p|Pikachu}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which implemented the [[walking Pokémon]] mechanic that was introduced in Yellow, were released in Japan exactly 11 years after this game was released in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pokémon Yellow is the first [[main series]] Pokémon game to depict two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s ([[Jessie]] and [[James]]) in a battle sprite. Despite this, Double Battles would not be a mechanic in the games until [[Generation III]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Pokémon Yellow is the only [[Generation I]] game in Japanese where a message describing the current progress of a [[saving|save]] in course appears, unlike the international versions, where such behavior is present in all games of the [[generation]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Pokémon Yellow is the first game to allow the {{player}} to walk into the [[Tall grass|grass]] without any Pokémon, though [[Professor Oak|Prof. Oak]] intervenes after taking two steps into the grass; the second being {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* If a {{player}} [[Cheating|cheats]] to obtain another {{p|Pikachu}} and releases the one they started with, the new Pikachu will continue to follow the player as if it were the original. In addition, the new Pikachu will refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}}. This shows that the game recognizes any Pikachu whose [[original Trainer]] is the current player as the {{pkmn2|starter}} (this is normally fine, as no other Pikachu can be obtained in the game without trading). If one of the new Pikachu is released, the &amp;quot;active&amp;quot; Pikachu will have a disappointed expression for a limited time. &lt;br /&gt;
* The two available starter Pokémon of this game, {{p|Pikachu}} ({{ga|Red|player}}) and {{p|Eevee}} ({{ga|Blue|rival}}), are the only Pokémon introduced prior to [[Generation V]] to evolve with a {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Thunderstone}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the only game in [[Generation I]] where {{p|Lickitung}} and {{p|Farfetch&#039;d}} can be caught in the wild; in {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, these Pokémon are only available by means of an [[list of in-game trades|in-game trade]].&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the only game prior to [[Generation III]] to lack the [[Gotta catch &#039;em all!|slogan]] below the Pokémon logo.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Pokémon_logo_English.png|200px|thumb|right|International logo of the Pokémon franchises]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon&#039;&#039;&#039; (Japanese: &#039;&#039;&#039;ポケットモンスター&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Pocket Monsters&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;ポケモン&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Pokémon&#039;&#039; for short) is a series of {{wp|video game}}s by [[Nintendo]] in 1996, as well as the overarching franchise based on them, composed of an [[Pokémon anime|animation]], a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|card game]], numerous {{pkmn|manga}} and many other media. The series&#039; focus are the creatures known as {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their inhabited {{Pkmn|world}}, full of legends, tales, and adventures. Pokémon coexist with [[human]]s, and can be {{Pkmn2|caught}}, [[Pokémon training|trained]] and used in {{Pkmn|battle}}s or other activities. {{Pkmn|Trainer}}s travel across different [[region|lands]] along with their Pokémon, aiming to make their dreams become reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RedGreenMenu.png|frame|right|The Game Boy&#039;s limited screen forced short words.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Much as happens with many other {{wp|wasei-eigo|words and phrases borrowed from English}}, the Japanese name for the series, Pocket Monsters, became contracted into &amp;quot;Pockemon&amp;quot; during the development of the original games, likely as much for convenience when referring to it as to save on screen real estate, considering the small size of the [[Game Boy]]&#039;s screen. The official romanization of &amp;quot;Pockemon&amp;quot; at this time was derived from the contraction of &#039;&#039;&#039;Pocke&#039;&#039;&#039;t and &#039;&#039;&#039;Mon&#039;&#039;&#039;ster, and can be seen explicitly in &#039;&#039;[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]&#039;&#039;, even in the dub.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Pokémon&amp;quot; name used today came about during the translation of the games for an English audience during 1997 and 1998. Whereas in Japan, Pocket Monsters was easily able to be trademarked, the release in America would prove difficult had this name been used, due to the unrelated {{wp|Monster in my Pocket}} franchise. Thus, an alternate romanization of the contraction was used, with an acute accent over the e to indicate its specific pronunciation, &#039;&#039;poh-kay-mahn&#039;&#039;. Despite this issue, however, the fact that Pokémon is short for Pocket Monsters has been referenced in English, with an NPC in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} asking the player what Pokémon is short for after thinking about the name of the [[Pokétch]], itself a contraction, as well as on the back of the DVD set containing the [[M01|first]], [[M02|second]], and [[M03|third]] {{pkmn|movie}}s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Franchise==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|History of Pokémon}}&lt;br /&gt;
Pokémon as a series was originally conceived by [[Satoshi Tajiri]], as a way to instill in children of the modern, more urbanized Japan the same enjoyment that he felt as a young boy collecting insects near his hometown of {{wp|Machida, Tokyo|Machida}}. Initially [[Capsule Monsters]], CapuMon for short, Tajiri pitched the series to Nintendo due to the inspiration he drew from the [[link cable]], picturing an insect crawling across it between two Game Boy systems.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Spr 1g 006.png|frame|right|{{p|Charizard}}&#039;s Red and Green sprite]]&lt;br /&gt;
With help from [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the series began development, with the concepts of the original games, {{game|Red and Green|s}}, going into production between 1990 and 1995. At last, in early 1996, the first games in the series were released, and Tajiri&#039;s dream had become reality. Though compared to other games of its time, Pokémon was very limited, with comparatively poor graphics and sound, the series was an overnight success, and Red and Green were quickly followed by an upgraded [[third version]], {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An {{pkmn|anime}} was produced, with the intention of covering the journey players took through the [[Kanto]] region in the games over the course of a year and a half. About halfway through this run, however, tragedy struck, and [[EP038|an episode]] of the anime was found to be responsible for {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s for more than 600 children due to a flashing strobe effect. No one died of these seizures, and after a brief hiatus to address the problem, the anime returned to the air to complete the Kanto run.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Game Freak, however, encouraged by the success of their first trio of games, had already begun development on a sequel to them. With the franchise still running strong, and an upcoming introduction of it to the United States, popularity soared. Rather than releasing their sequels immediately, however, Game Freak instead chose to draw from the story of the anime, which differed from the games in that its protagonist was given a {{p|Pikachu}} instead of the standard [[starter Pokémon]] received in Red, Green, and Blue, and created a fourth, {{game|Yellow||Special Pikachu Edition}}, of the Kanto story to buy some more time for development on the announced sequels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several {{pkmn|manga}} series were also produced in this early time, including [[Pokémon Adventures]], which Tajiri has stated is closest to his original idea of the {{pkmn|world}} the series takes place in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, however, the much-awaited sequels were finally released. {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, revamped the Pokémon world, bringing it into full color and addressing many of the issues that had been present in the original games, especially [[glitch]]es and the [[type]] imbalance. The anime, manga, and other wings of the franchise followed as well, bringing their characters into the [[Generation II|second generation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even after the initial hype the series had in most of the world died down, however, the Pokémon series remained strong. Another third version, this time to Gold and Silver, was produced, focusing on another of [[Johto]]&#039;s legends, {{p|Suicune}}. With {{game|Crystal}}, a female player character was finally introduced, and the games became fully dependent on the [[Game Boy Color]], abandoning the now long-outdated Game Boy. A third generation was announced to be on its way on the new [[Game Boy Advance]], and among fans, the hype returned strongly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite this, when {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} were released, many people heard of them, and [[Generation III|their generation]] in general, as a disappointment. [[Misty]], Ash&#039;s longtime companion in the anime, left the show while a new girl, {{an|May}} joined him, and the games themselves, unlike the Generation II games, they were completely incompatible with their predecessors, making 184 of the 251 Pokémon previously released completely unobtainable without [[cheating]]. This itself was addressed with the unprecedented release of {{wp|remake}}s of the original pair of games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, which brought back the availability of many of the Pokémon missing from Ruby and Sapphire. Within a year, as well, yet another third version, this time for the Hoenn story, was released, as {{game|Emerald}}, and introduced a {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and many other aspects that would be enjoyed by those who battled Pokémon competitively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much like the previous generations, the [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] was very anticipated, and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} received much praise. These games brought with them many enhancements from Emerald, and for the first time, Pokémon could be played online to battle against and trade with other players across the world. Due to the earlier release of remakes for the original pair of games, this generation saw much speculation for a remake of the now-outdated Generation II games, and hidden data in the games themselves seemed to indicate that they would be on their way shortly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A third version of the pair, {{game|Platinum}}, was released two years afterward, and due to this, as well as the delay in the release, many became discouraged that the remakes would ever come. Despite this, however, finally, after five years of speculation, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} were released.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Spr 5b 006.png|frame|right|{{p|Charizard}}&#039;s Black and White sprite]]&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Generation V|current generation]] of the franchise constitutes a &amp;quot;reboot&amp;quot; similar to that of the third. The highly anticipated {{game|Black and White|s}} are set far away from the previously released games in a region based on {{wp|New York City}} called [[Unova]]. Initially in the game, only new Pokémon introduced in this generation are available before beating the [[Pokémon League]], forcing veteran players to rethink old strategies. The games do have the capacity to connect to older games, however, and maintain the international connectivity introduced in the fourth generation. The anime series, Trading Card Game and some manga series have already embraced the new generation with new releases of tie-in media. Not following the traditional format, Black and White are followed by 2 direct sequels, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creatures==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Pokémon (species)}}&lt;br /&gt;
The creatures themselves, based on various plants, animals, and other concepts, inhabit virtually every corner of the {{pkmn|world}}, no matter which canon&#039;s interpretation is seen. Many make their homes in forests and on rural [[route]]s stretching across the various regions, while still others are native to cities and other urban centers. Currently, there are {{numpkmn}} known Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Typically, Pokémon that are owned by a person are kept in [[Poké Ball]]s, which allow for them to be quickly sent into battle or to perform a task, but keep them safe and make them easier to transport, with the balls being typically able to fit into a pocket. HeartGold and SoulSilver have the lead Pokémon out of their Poké Balls. Many Pokémon owned by Trainers, however, choose to remain outside of their Poké Ball, and travel with their Trainer [[walking Pokémon|on foot]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pokémon begin their lives by hatching from {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and many of them will [[Evolution|evolve]] to grow stronger and larger during the course of their lives. Pokémon are not immortal, as can be seen from the Pokémon gravesites found in [[Lavender Town]], [[Mt. Pyre]], the [[Lost Tower]], and the [[Celestial Tower]], though being that their abilities far surpass those of normal animals, it may seem to be this way for those who do not follow the series as closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many Pokémon are much more powerful than others, and some, due to this, have [[legendary Pokémon|passed into legends]] that are told in the Pokémon world. It has not been consistently illustrated whether or not these Pokémon really do have the power that their legends state, though the general consensus is that, in the wild, a Pokémon&#039;s abilities are truly those of the legends, while a Trainer who captures one in a Poké Ball will limit its strength.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pokémon may be influenced by the Japanese folklore of {{wp|yōkai}}, special creatures with strange abilities, sometimes even created from inanimate objects.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I cherished this book (even if it was inferior to the Japanese Pocket Monsters handbook that my friend had, and even though it contained errors). I&#039;ve misplaced it. I hope I can find it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, I do own copies of the sequel books, #2 and #3. Should articles be created for them? Their official titles are:&lt;br /&gt;
* The Official Pokémon Handbook #2&lt;br /&gt;
* The Official Pokémon Handbook #3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the hash (#) in the titles is probably not feasible for article titling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- [[User:TIMMY|TIMMY]] 12:02, 12 December 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I suggest they be merged into this article. &#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Optimatum|&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;explain&amp;quot; title=&amp;quot;Optimus35&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sc&amp;gt;Θρtιmαtum♏&amp;lt;/sc&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;]]&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;[[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]]|[[User:Optimatum/sig/Pikachu|Links]]&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; 12:07, 12 December 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Lapras Error ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have the deluxe handbook, and the artwork for Lapras shows its lower jaw as blue, rather than white in official artwork. Good enough error? [[User:Tails0600|Tails0600]] 00:33, 31 August 2009 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:Dude, so long as it&#039;s an error, you dont need to ask. Just put it on.--&#039;&#039;&#039;Dark&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Mask of Ice|&amp;lt;font color=&amp;quot;black&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;ICE&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;]] &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(User:Cold)&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt; 00:37, 31 August 2009 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Species names ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should it be noted that the species names are actually under the heading &#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039; (the elemental type(s) are under &#039;&#039;Element&#039;&#039;), as opposed to the &#039;&#039;Species&#039;&#039; listed in the article? At least they are in my non-deluxe copy. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(talk)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;]] 05:07, 22 December 2009 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pikachu and Poké Balls ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Correct me if I&#039;m wrong (still looking for a copy of [[EP001]]), but Dexter says &amp;quot;...certain Pokémon dislike Poké Balls, like Pikachu...&amp;quot;. If that is correct, that would mean Pikachu as a species dislikes Poké Balls. This is further concluded by the fact that (if I remember right) only one Trainer ([[Ritchie]]) carries a Pikachu in a Poké Ball in the entire anime. --[[User:Nathan2055|Nathan2055]][[User Talk:Nathan2055|&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;talk&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;]] 20:43, 2 February 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I am watching the episode, and Dexter says, &amp;quot;While being trained, a Pokémon usually stays inside its Poké Ball, however, there are many exceptions. Some Pokémon hate being confined.&amp;quot; It actually just applies to Ash&#039;s Pikachu, because no other Pikachu has expressed its feelings about staying in a Poké Ball. [[User:Pokabu82|&amp;lt;font color=&amp;quot;#FF7F00&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Pokabu&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;]][[user talk:Pokabu82|&amp;lt;font color=&amp;quot;#FF0000&amp;quot;&amp;gt;82&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;]] 20:59, 2 February 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::Ah. That makes more sense. --[[User:Nathan2055|Nathan2055]][[User Talk:Nathan2055|&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;talk&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;]] 22:21, 3 February 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Error?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;In the Deluxe Collector&#039;s Edition, the &#039;A word from Professor Oak&#039; section says that Pokémon is pronounced POH-kay-mahn.&amp;quot; How is this an error? [[User:Jayt55|Jayt55]] 02:00, 4 May 2012 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

It is the [[signature move]] of the {{p|Pichu}} [[Evolution|evolutionary]] line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Effect==&lt;br /&gt;
Volt Tackle inflicts damage, and the user receives [[recoil]] damage equal to 1/3 of the damage done to the target. This move has a 10% chance of {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} the target.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Learnset==&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Generation III]]===&lt;br /&gt;
====By {{pkmn|breeding}}====&lt;br /&gt;
There is only one way to get Volt Tackle, which is only available in {{game|Emerald}} or later. The {{player}} must breed a female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}} with any Pokémon in the same [[Egg groups|egg group]] (or breed a Pikachu or Raichu of any gender holding a Light Ball with a Ditto). If the Pikachu or Raichu and its mating partner are put into the daycare and they meet the [[Pokémon breeding|conditions]] to produce an egg, the hatched {{p|Pichu}} will have Volt Tackle.&lt;br /&gt;

A {{p|Pikachu}} that knows Volt Tackle (as well as {{m|Surf}}) can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] after beating all of the colosseums once. The move can also be obtained in the same way as in Generation III.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Volt Tackle is Pikachu&#039;s [[Final Smash]]. When used, Pikachu will be enveloped by a blue ball of electricity. The ball does major damage and can even pass through platforms, though it is very hard to control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trophy information===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you&#039;ll destroy yourself. Be careful it doesn&#039;t happen to you.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Volt Tackle&#039;s Japanese name, &#039;&#039;Voltteccer&#039;&#039;, comes from an attack that [[List of references to Pulseman|Pulseman]], the protagonist of {{wp|Pulseman|a Game Freak game of the same name}}, could use. Both attacks are a reference to {{wp|Tekkaman}}, whose signature attack was also called Voltekka.&lt;br /&gt;
* Volt Tackle is the only move that causes [[recoil]] to have ever been a [[special move]], due to it being an Electric-type move introduced in [[Generation III]] (had {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}} existed in Generation III, they would have been special as well).&lt;br /&gt;
*Volt Tackle is the only non-TM, non-move tutor move that cannot be learned via leveling up by any Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Ash&#039;s friends&#039;&#039;&#039; are the traveling companions that [[Ash Ketchum]] has had with him on his journey on his quest to become a [[Pokémon master]]. While he started his journey alone, many people have joined his party while touring the [[Pokémon world]]; usually at least one new companion joins&amp;amp;mdash;and another leaves&amp;amp;mdash;every time a new region is visited. [[Johto]] is the only region where Ash did not acquire a new friend that would travel with him.&lt;br /&gt;
==Misty==&lt;br /&gt;

Misty joined Ash in &#039;&#039;[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]&#039;&#039;, traveling with him because she wanted him to replace her [[Bicycle|bike]], which was destroyed by his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She would continuously travel with him until &#039;&#039;[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]&#039;&#039;, when she returned to [[Cerulean City]] nearly full-time to lead [[Cerulean Gym|her family&#039;s gym]], though she briefly traveled to [[Hoenn]] and met up with Ash&#039;s {{series2|Advanced Generation}} group, and again to &amp;quot;escort&amp;quot; her back home.&lt;br /&gt;

{{main|Brock (anime)|Brock}}&lt;br /&gt;
Brock first joined Ash in &#039;&#039;[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]&#039;&#039; after Ash {{pkmn|battle}}d him in the [[Pewter City]] [[Pewter Gym|Gym]]. After his father {{ka|Flint}} offered to take over the duties of [[Gym Leader]], Brock followed Ash through [[Kanto]], leaving briefly from &#039;&#039;[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]&#039;&#039; to &#039;&#039;[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]&#039;&#039; to work for [[Professor Ivy]]. After this episode, Brock returned to be with Ash and {{an|Misty}} until &#039;&#039;[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]&#039;&#039;, though he, unlike Misty, would return shortly, in &#039;&#039;[[AG004|You Can Never Taillow]]&#039;&#039;, sticking with Ash until [[AG192|the end of the series]]. He would again return in &#039;&#039;[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]&#039;&#039;, and is currently traveling through [[Sinnoh]] with Ash as of the latest Japanese episode. Of all of Ash&#039;s friends, Brock is his closest friend and treats him like a brother.&lt;br /&gt;

After {{an|Brock}} left, Ash&#039;s traveling group was again down to two, as it had been for the first five episodes of [[Kanto]]. However, this would not last very long, as in &#039;&#039;[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]&#039;&#039;, {{Tracey}} essentially invited himself along for the rest of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. Traveling with Ash, he wished to attain his ultimate goal of meeting [[Professor Oak]], which he did when Ash returned to Kanto in &#039;&#039;[[EP115|A Tents Situation]]&#039;&#039;. After this, he remained in [[Pallet Town]] to be Professor Oak&#039;s assistant.&lt;br /&gt;

Ash may have traveled to [[Hoenn]] alone; however, shortly after his arrival, he met {{an|May}}, a young girl who desired to travel around the world and a fellow Trainer who was just starting her journey. Though she initially did not care for [[Pokémon battle]]s, she eventually found [[Pokémon Contest]]s, in which she competed in both Hoenn and [[Kanto]]. May traveled with Ash through the entire {{series2|Advanced Generation}} saga, from &#039;&#039;[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]&#039;&#039; to &#039;&#039;[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]&#039;&#039;. She, like {{an|Misty}}, reappeared briefly during the {{series|Diamond &amp;amp; Pearl}} to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]].&lt;br /&gt;

He traveled with the group from &#039;&#039;[[AG003|There&#039;s no Place Like Hoenn]]&#039;&#039; until &#039;&#039;[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]&#039;&#039;, when he went home to [[Petalburg City]]. However, he made a promise to Ash that as soon as he got some, he would {{pkmn|battle}} Ash.&lt;br /&gt;

From that point, after saving [[Ash&#039;s Pikachu]] and having her bike fried in a similar way to May&#039;s and Misty&#039;s, Dawn would travel with Ash and Brock through Sinnoh, which she is currently doing as of the most recent Japanese episode.&lt;br /&gt;

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Yellow}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition&#039;&#039;&#039;, most often known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon Yellow Version&#039;&#039;&#039;, is the third Pokémon game released worldwide, as a [[third version|follow up]] to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. In Japan, it was the fourth Pokémon game, released as &#039;&#039;&#039;ポケットモンスター ピカチュウ&#039;&#039;&#039; (Japanese: &#039;&#039;Pocket Monsters Pikachu&#039;&#039;), after [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Red, Green]], and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similar to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Yellow arrived towards the end of the [[Game Boy]]&#039;s lifespan. It managed, though, to receive the title of second best-selling non-bundled game for its console, only losing to its predecessors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike other games, Yellow was inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, and thus, instead of having a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, players are forced to start off with a {{p|Pikachu}} that [[Professor Oak]] caught on {{rt|1}}. With the {{ga|Blue|rival}} beginning with an {{p|Eevee}}, the player now journeys from Pallet to go through an all-new experience&amp;amp;mdash;with no {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type2|Water}}s to fall back on until each member of the Kanto starter trio is given to the player later on, about a quarter of the way through the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much like before, players journey across [[Kanto]] from their hometown of [[Pallet Town|Pallet]], defeating the eight [[Gym Leaders]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]] do not join the player, unlike in the anime) and eventually the [[Elite Four]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Team Rocket]] battles feature yet another special, anime-based surprise, as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] show up, along with their Pokémon, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, {{TP|James|Koffing}}, and {{MTR}}. Beyond these changes, the plot of Yellow is very similar to that of Red, Blue, and Green.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You&#039;ve finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer]]&#039;s license, and now you&#039;re on your way to becoming the world&#039;s greatest Pokémon Trainer! The shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}} tags along behind [[Player character|you]] as you search the enormous world for monsters to train and evolve. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}&#039;s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}&#039;s stormy {{m|Gust}}. Develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Connectivity==&lt;br /&gt;
As well as reprising the ability to allow players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Boy]] [[link cable]], Yellow also debuted a new link battle mode, Colosseum 2. While battling another player&#039;s Pokémon team had been possible since the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} two years before Yellow&#039;s release, Yellow introduced several regulations in Colosseum 2 mode. Battle modes introduced include the [[Pika Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 15 to 20 only; their combined level limit is 50), [[Petit Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 15 to 20, heights under 6&#039;8&amp;quot;, and weights less than 44 pounds only) and [[Poké Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 50 to 55 only, and the sum of all entered Pokémon&#039;s levels cannot exceed 155. {{p|Mew}} is not allowed). These three cups would later become standard cups in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Changes from Red, Green, and Blue==&lt;br /&gt;
*{{p|Pikachu}} is the only [[starter Pokémon]] the player can have, and [[walking Pokémon|travels with the player]] on-screen, outside of a [[Poké Ball]] like {{OP|Ash|Pikachu}}. The {{ga|Blue|rival}} starts with {{p|Eevee}}, and the three normal [[Kanto]] starters can be obtained later in the game.&lt;br /&gt;
**The Rival will eventually [[Evolution|evolve]] his Eevee (and thus affect which are the other members of his party) depending on the player&#039;s actions early in the game.&lt;br /&gt;
***If the player beats the Rival at both Oak&#039;s Lab and the early optional battle at [[Route 22]], Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}}.&lt;br /&gt;
***If the player loses one of these two battles or passes up the Route 22 battle, Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}}.&lt;br /&gt;
***If the player loses at Oak&#039;s Lab, and loses at Route 22 or passes it up, Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}}.&lt;br /&gt;
*The front Pokémon sprites have all been updated to resemble how they appear in their then-current [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork usually used in promotional images and strategy guides for Pokémon Red and Blue, as well as some of them resembling how they appear in the anime. The back sprites are the same as the previous game.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[List of in-game trades|In-game trades]] are changed to different Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Level]]-up and [[TM]] compatibility altered slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
*A minimal [[happiness]] system is implemented to track how Pikachu feels about the player, and Pikachu will refuse to evolve.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gym Leader]]s have different teams, some based on those that appear in the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
*Some Trainer sprites were also redone. The main player now resembles Ash Ketchum from the anime, the {{player}}&#039;s rival closely resembles [[Gary Oak]], and [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] resemble their anime counterparts, too.&lt;br /&gt;
*Enhanced compatibility with the [[Game Boy Color]] (outside of Japan) and the ability to print out Pokédex entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]].&lt;br /&gt;
*A majority of [[glitch]]es were disabled, and many [[glitch Pokémon]] were altered into different, stranger forms.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear and are involved in [[Team Rocket]]&#039;s scheme, and typically appear before the player battles [[Giovanni]]. They also replace the three Team Rocket members in the [[Pokémon Tower]] that hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Cerulean Cave]], the game&#039;s final dungeon, is redesigned a second time.&lt;br /&gt;
*A {{m|Surf}}ing Pikachu minigame, [[Pikachu&#039;s Beach]], is included.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Features==&lt;br /&gt;
===Gyms===&lt;br /&gt;
As in the other games of [[Generation I]], there are eight Pokémon Gyms in Kanto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Giovanni]] ({{t|Ground}}). The levels of certain Gym Leaders&#039; Pokémon were adjusted for Yellow; some of their Pokémon [[Party|teams]] were revised as well. For example, Lt. Surge will only have one Pokémon, a Raichu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Elite Four===&lt;br /&gt;
The Elite Four is located at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite trainers are [[Lorelei]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Agatha]] ({{t|Ghost}}) and [[Lance]] ({{t|Dragon}}); the [[Champion]] is {{ga|Blue|the player&#039;s rival}}, who has Pokémon of mixed types. The levels of certain Elite trainer&#039;s Pokémon were adjusted for Yellow; some of their Pokémon teams were revised as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pokémon===&lt;br /&gt;
Yellow did not introduce any new Pokémon, and so the 151 present in Red, Green, and Blue are the only ones obtainable. Like the prior games, some Pokémon are missing from Yellow and must be traded from another game to complete the Pokédex or evolved from less powerful forms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Version-exclusive Pokémon]]==&lt;br /&gt;
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Pokémon Yellow. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the paired versions of [[Generation I]] which has that Pokémon available, which will be indicated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;{{color|{{green color}}|G}}&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; indicates a Pokémon that can be caught in the [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Japanese Green]], and thus in the [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|English Blue]] as well. &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;{{color|{{blue color}}|B}}&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; indicates a Pokémon obtainable in the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]].&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
Like {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Pokémon Yellow was also well received by the press. Like its predecessors, it received a perfect 10/10 from IGN [http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=36696]. However, it was criticized as being &amp;quot;just a stopgap to help us wait for the [[Generation II|real sequels]]&amp;quot; [http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=251543]. Yellow received a slightly lower average score than {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, 85% on [http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/198314.asp?q=pokemon Game Rankings]. Despite this, it was the site&#039;s top rated [[Game Boy]] game in the year of its release, 1999.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Title===&lt;br /&gt;
While this game&#039;s title has become widely accepted as simply Pokémon Yellow, its officially recognized name is not entirely certain. On the boxart for most English versions, &amp;quot;Special Pikachu Edition&amp;quot; replaces the series&#039; then-current slogan &amp;quot;[[Gotta Catch &#039;em All!]],&amp;quot; below the Pokémon logo, while &amp;quot;Yellow Version&amp;quot; is at the bottom, near where Red and Blue had theirs. However, &amp;quot;Special Pikachu Edition&amp;quot; is repeated on the box&#039;s opening and spine, while the Japanese title is simply Pocket Monsters Pikachu, with no color specified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite this, the instruction manual refers to the game as &amp;quot;the Yellow version of Pokémon&amp;quot;, the [[Red (game)|player]] has the option of being called Yellow, following the trends of the other versions, and &amp;quot;Yellow Version&amp;quot; can be seen at the game&#039;s title screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* The opening of Pokémon Yellow features the least Pokémon out of all main series games, fittingly showing &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; {{p|Pikachu}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Pokémon Yellow is considered to be the &amp;quot;third version&amp;quot; of Generation I in the United States and other non-Japanese countries, it is only considered a fan-service game in Japan. This is because {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} was released as a third version in Japan, following the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which implement the [[walking Pokémon]] mechanic that was introduced in this game, were released in Japan exactly 11 years after this game was released in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pokémon Yellow is the first [[main series]] Pokémon game to depict two trainers ([[Jessie]] and [[James]]) in a battle sprite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In other languages==&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;French&#039;&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;Version Jaune&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Red and Blue}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon Red Version&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Pokémon Blue Version&#039;&#039;&#039; were the first [[Pokémon games]] to see release outside of Japan, becoming available in North America on September 1, 1998, and thus being the first Pokémon media to hit the international market. The pair were followed closely after their release by the [[Pokémon anime]], which began airing less than a week later, and within a year, Pokémon was well-known as a popular Nintendo franchise, with a third version, {{game|Yellow}}, on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike later [[generation]]s, Red and Blue were not the same as they were in their Japanese releases. Japan had gotten their first pair of Pokémon games as {{2v2|Red|Green}}, which in all aspects were the same as Red and Blue with the exception of sprite design. When preparing the games for their English release, it was decided that Red and Green would be merged with Japan&#039;s already-released third version, {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}}, for its improved graphics and sound.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being released towards the end of [[Game Boy|its console&#039;s]] lifespan, it quickly became the best-selling non-bundled game released for the Game Boy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Illustrating the original [[version|Pokémon gameplay concepts]], players begin their game in [[Pallet Town]], a small town in the [[Kanto]] region, on the same day as their former best friend and now {{ga|Blue|rival}}. [[Professor Oak]] calls the player to his laboratory, and allows the player to choose from [[starter Pokémon]]: the {{type2|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{type2|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, or the {{type2|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}}. After the rival has jealously chosen the starter that weakens the player&#039;s choice and had a preliminary battle, the player leaves for his journey across the region, challenging [[Gym Leaders]] and other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s on their way to the ultimate goal: the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along the way, the player will meet up with his rival several times, and have multiple run-ins with the insidious [[Team Rocket]], a criminal group that seeks to use Pokémon for their own gain. But who is its leader... and what are his ultimate goals?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Blurb==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You&#039;ve finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer]]&#039;s license. Now, it&#039;s time to head out to become the world&#039;s greatest Pokémon Trainer. It&#039;s going to take all you&#039;ve got to collect {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|150 Pokémon}} in this enormous world. Catch and train monsters like the shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}}. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}&#039;s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}&#039;s stormy {{m|Gust}}. [[Trade]] with friends and watch your Pokémon evolve. Important—no single Pokémon can win at all. Can you develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Connectivity==&lt;br /&gt;
Like in Red and Green, players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges using a [[Game Boy]] [[link cable]]. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to each game of the pair, making it required that a person trade with others in order to complete their [[Pokédex]]. The link cable also makes possible battles with another player, allowing one to pit his or her Pokémon against new challenges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are impossible in this generation, and will always result in corruption if attempted. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data, since there is not enough room on either cartridge for all of the text in so many languages (a feature that would [[Generation IV|later become possible]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Features==&lt;br /&gt;
===Gyms===&lt;br /&gt;
Players are introduced to the first eight Pokémon Gyms, each with their own type affiliation, of the series, led by [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Giovanni]] ({{t|Ground}}).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Elite Four===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Elite Four]] of Kanto are a step above the rest, all located at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and ready to take on all challengers. In order, they are [[Lorelei]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Agatha]] ({{t|Ghost}}) and [[Lance]] ({{t|Dragon}}). The final battle a Trainer has is against the [[Champion]], {{ga|Blue|their rival}}, who has Pokémon of mixed types.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pokémon===&lt;br /&gt;
Each game contains pre-recorded data on 151 different species of Pokémon, including {{p|Mew}}, a Pokémon unavailable to players of either game under normal conditions. Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. Mew is the only Pokémon in these games that &#039;&#039;must&#039;&#039; be acquired through attending either a Nintendo sponsored event, [[Mew glitch|a glitch]], or [[cheating]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Version exclusives]]==&lt;br /&gt;
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokémon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of [[Generation I]] which has that Pokémon available.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Compatibility==&lt;br /&gt;
Red and Blue are compatible with all games from Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, provided the language is the same. [[trade|Trading]] between these games, as well as battling, is allowed. However, it is incompatible with Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
The games received positive reviews from the press, receiving a perfect 10/10 from IGN [http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/367023.asp], with Gamespot UK calling them &amp;quot;an excellent RPG for players of all experience levels.&amp;quot; [http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=393714]. The games received an average score of 89% on [http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/367023.asp Game Rankings], the second highest on the site for a [[main series]] Pokémon game, and the 7th best score for a [[Game Boy]] title.&lt;br /&gt;

===Criticism===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Koffingoldandnew.PNG|thumb|right|{{p|Koffing}}&#039;s Red and Blue sprite &#039;&#039;(left)&#039;&#039; paired with its Diamond and Pearl sprite &#039;&#039;(right)&#039;&#039;. Note that the skull and crossbones of the sprite on the left are not placed correctly.]]&lt;br /&gt;
While bringing Pokémon to international fame and continuing the legacy of the Japanese Red and Green, Pokémon Red and Blue have been met with much criticism, especially compared to more recent releases in the series. Aside from the number of [[glitch]]es present in the games, many Pokémon look very little like their appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}}, which premiered nearly simultaneous with the games&#039; North American release, or later games, which improved on several other aspects as well as the graphics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two games are also notorious for their several drastic glitches, among them the fabled [[Missingno.]], [[Glitch City]], and the [[Mew glitch]]. Despite this, the glitches are arguably minimal points of criticism due to the reward value that comes from their activation, such as the multiplication of a player&#039;s sixth item that happens when Missingno. is encountered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*On the box art of Red and Blue, at the bottom states &amp;quot;Link with (Red or Blue) version to catch all 150 monsters&amp;quot;. This is the first and only time the English version refers Pokémon as &amp;quot;monsters&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*A trademark was filed for &amp;quot;Pokémon WaterBlue Version&amp;quot;, indicating that Nintendo possibly considered retaining the North American version renaming for the remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but ultimately decided against it.&lt;br /&gt;
*These two titles along with {{V2|Yellow}} are the only titles to have their mascot&#039;s artwork changed from their Japanese counterparts.&lt;br /&gt;
*The blurb on the back of the games&#039; boxes state that 139 different Pokémon can be obtained in the game without trading. This, however, includes all Pokémon that the player chooses (i.e. both the {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Kabuto}} families are counted). Therefore, the true total of different Pokémon obtainable in one adventure (without trading) is 125.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In other languages==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A &#039;&#039;&#039;Bug Catcher&#039;&#039;&#039; (Japanese: &#039;&#039;&#039;むしとりしょうねん&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Bug Catcher Boy&#039;&#039;) is a type of {{g|Trainer}} that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games.  From then, they have appeared in every generation of game so far. They are generally depicted as little boys in hats and carrying nets and what appears to be their lunchboxes, or containers to keep caught bugs in, held by a strap after [[Generation II]]. Most Bug Catchers have been considered just hobbyists. Some Bug Catcher move around areas and don&#039;t always stay in the the same area daily. Experienced Bug Catchers may become [[Bug Maniac]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bug Catchers are usually one of the first trainer classes encountered during the course of the games&#039; storylines, mostly appearing on earlier [[route]]s. In [[Generation I]], Bug Catchers are the first trainer class that the player encounters. They first appear in the [[Viridian Forest]], while the last one is on {{rt|9}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Bug Catchers appear again on the [[Sevii Islands]], in the [[Pattern Bush]]. In [[Generation II]], Bug Catchers appear on {{rt|30}}, but they are not the first trainer class seen in the game, and are actually more uncommon in this Generation than any other. In [[Generation III]], there are a few Bug Catchers, appearing between Routes {{rt|102}}, through {{rt|119}}. The number of Bug Catchers in Generation III surpasses each other generation except the first. In [[Generation IV]], Bug Catchers don&#039;t appear until {{rt|204}} after the player defeats the first Gym Leader, unusually late in the game. There are only four Bug Catchers, most of them appearing in the [[Eterna Forest]].&lt;br /&gt;

==In the anime==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:EP004 007.jpg|thumb|right|220px|[[Samurai]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Although no main characters directly based on Bug Catchers have appeared in the {{Pkmn|anime}}, {{Ash}} and [[Samurai]] both own bug catching nets. Samurai is a boy appearing as the [[character of the day]] who lives in [[Viridian Forest]] and dresses up in samurai armor. Like Bug Catchers, he specializes in {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and has a bug-catching net. Samurai&#039;s sole appearance came in &#039;&#039;[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In &#039;&#039;[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]&#039;&#039;, a boy named {{ho|Marius}} strongly resembled the Bug Catchers in the game, but did not own any Bug-types.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In other languages==&lt;br /&gt;
* French: &#039;&#039;Scout&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* German: &#039;&#039;Käfersammler&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Italian: &#039;&#039;Pigliamosche&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Korean: 곤충채집 (&#039;&#039;Gonchungchaejip&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
* Spanish: &#039;&#039;Cazabichos&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Apart from {{ga|Blue}}, the Bug Catcher is the first trainer class the player battles in the first Pokémon games.&lt;br /&gt;
* The first Bug Catchers the player battles from both [[Kanto]] in the remakes and [[Hoenn]] are both named Rick. This could be coincidental, but is most likely an in-game joke.&lt;br /&gt;
