The '''Hoenn''' region (Japanese: '''ホウエン地方''' ''Hōen-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located south of [[Sinnoh]]. It is the setting of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. It is inspired by the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}. The names of most of the cities in Hoenn are made of two words put together (Little Root, Fort Tree, Slate Port, Ever Grande, etc.) rather than colors or plants as [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] had done. [[Professor Birch]] of [[Littleroot Town]] offers the [[starter Pokémon]] known as {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s beginning their journey of this vast land.

==Etymology and design concept==
[[File:Pokemonworld.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Hoenn region as {{wp|Kyushu}}.]]
===Etymology===
[[File:Hoenn RSE Map.png|thumb|250px|In-game map of the Hoenn region from [[Generation III]]]]
[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated that Hoenn's name comes from 豊縁, ''hōen'', meaning "abundant relations", as a common theme in this region is the relationships forged between Pokémon and people. He also stated that the reasoning behind rotating Hoenn 90° counterclockwise compared to its real-world counterpart was to increase playability<ref>http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/ 2004/9/9</ref>.

===Design concept===
The Hoenn region is based on the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}.

==History==


Hoenn was created after {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} were formed. Groudon raised the landmasses and Kyogre filled the seas that would later become Hoenn. The meeting of these two created a great battle for supremacy until it was quelled by {{p|Rayquaza}}, sending Groudon and Kyogre into caverns where they rested until they were awakened many years later during the course of events in [[Generation III]]. The moving of the continents by {{p|Regigigas}} created Hoenn, and when Regigigas was sent to sleep in the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regice}}, the keys to awakening it, were sealed away in Hoenn.

In contemporary history, {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} moved to [[Littleroot Town]] in Hoenn from [[Johto]]. Brendan/May encountered May/Brendan, competing with Brendan/May to complete the Pokédex. Brendan/May saved [[Professor Birch]] from a Poochyena{{sup/3|RS}}/Zigzagoon{{sup/3|E}} with a {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, or {{p|Treecko}} from Professor Birch's bag; as a reward for saving him, he gave Brendan/May a [[Pokédex]] and allowed him/her to keep the Pokémon that he/she used to save him. Brendan/May traveled across Hoenn, occasionally encountering and defeating [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]. Team Magma{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|E}} and/or Team Aqua{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}} successfully awakened {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|E}} and/or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}, which caused the region of Hoenn to be plagued by {{weather|intense sunlight}}{{sup/3|R}}, {{weather|heavy rain}}{{sup/3|S}}, or a strange mixture of both{{sup/3|E}}. However, Brendan/May successfully calmed the weather Pokémon when he/she defeated it{{sup/3|RS}}/summoned {{p|Rayquaza}} to calm them{{sup/3|E}}. Brendan/May then proceeded to win at the Pokémon League and become the Champion.

==Cities, routes, and other locations==
Hoenn has sixteen [[List of cities and towns by name|cities and towns]] and a [[Ever Grande City|Pokémon League]]. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. Hoenn features the largest amount of towns and cities of the five [[Region|main regions]].

The Hoenn region has 34 different [[routes]], which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Much like [[Sinnoh]] after it, Hoenn's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Hoenn are numbered from {{rtn|101|Hoenn}} to {{rtn|134|Hoenn}}. Compared to other regions, Hoenn features an abundance of sea routes, giving the impression that the Hoenn region is half-water and half-land. The Hoenn region introduced the idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]], including constant rainfall, thunderstorms, falling ash, and rays of sunlight.

The Hoenn region is unique and famous for its tropical-like environments. Despite Hoenn's abundance of water routes, there is a large amount of land. Since the cities and towns of Hoenn are immersed into nature, there aren't many large cities comparable to [[Unova]]'s [[Castelia City]] or [[Johto]]'s [[Goldenrod City]], with the largest area being [[Lilycove City]]. The region does not feature a true mountain range like in Sinnoh and other regions. Hoenn introduced many new natural environments including a volcano, a jungle, a beach, a desert, and many more.

===Demographics===
The towns, cities, and areas of the Hoenn region's total population in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} is 598.

===Routes===
Routes in Hoenn number are numbered as {{rtn|101|Hoenn}}-{{rtn|134|Hoenn}}, breaking the former pattern set up by Kanto and Johto. This is presumably to discourage the idea of being able to travel back to either region after completion of the game, as was done in [[Generation II]] and as a mirror of the fact that Japan's road system possesses a similar gap. Some of the routes have differing [[weather conditions]] depending on the day they are traveled on.

==Geography==
[[File:Hoenn RS.png|thumb|left|250px|Hoenn in Ruby and Sapphire]]
The Hoenn region boasts many dramatic environments from rainforests to deserts. However, its most striking feature is its abundance of water, a vast contrast to other main series regions, especially Sinnoh. There are several large islands off the mainland only accessible via [[water route]]s, many of which are deep enough for {{m|Dive|diving}}. It seems to have a warmer climate than [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]].

Much of the interior area is forested or mountainous, so most notable cities are found on the coastline. Much of the region is covered in water, almost equal in size as the mainland, restating the theme of the game. People who live in towns and villages in the mountain areas must adapt to the harsh environment. An extreme example of this is the inhabitants of [[Fortree City]], who live in tree houses. This is in stark contrast to other regions in the [[Pokémon world]], as noted by {{adv|Ruby}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], who preferred Johto's many modernized cities to the wilderness and countryside in Hoenn. Hoenn has two volcanoes: one active and one dormant. [[Mt. Chimney]], the active volcano, in the center of the Hoenn region; the ash from Mt. Chimney regularly falls on the nearby towns and routes. On the opposite side of the Hoenn region resides the dormant volcano which [[Sootopolis City]] was built in.

[[File:Hoenn Anime.png|thumb|250px|Anime-based map of the Hoenn region]]

Due to the primarily tropical climate, many of Hoenn's newly discovered Pokémon are rather exotic in appearance, compared to Pokémon from [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]].

==Trivia==
* Not counting the player's hometown, Hoenn has the most towns and cities that do not have Gyms—[[Oldale Town]], [[Slateport City]], [[Lilycove City]], [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]], [[Pacifidlog Town]], and [[Ever Grande City]].
* Unlike other regions, several of the smaller islands off Hoenn's southeastern coast are unreachable by any means.
* Hoenn is the only [[main series]] region to not be seen in a day-night cycle at least once, and the only region not to be rendered in 3D.
* Hoenn is the only region in the handheld games to have more than one [[Villainous teams|villainous team]], with both [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]] calling the region home. Only [[Orre]] matches this, with [[Team Snagem]] and [[Cipher]], though Orre has not appeared outside of [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] games.
** Both of these regions were introduced in Generation III.
* Hoenn has the most routes of any region, with 34.
* Hoenn has the fewest [[gate]]s of any region. It features only two, both located within the [[Seaside Cycling Road]].
* Hoenn is the only main series region which has both a Game Corner and department store which are not in the same city, since Hoenn's Game Corner is in [[Mauville City]] whereas its department store is in [[Lilycove City]].
* Hoenn is the only region in which all [[Badge]]s have the same English and Japanese names—at least one Badge has a different name in all four other regions.
* Hoenn is the only region with two lighthouses—one in Slateport City and the other in Lilycove City.
* Hoenn starts a running theme that the player gets their starting Pokemon not in a lab.

Time travel

2013-11-07T20:29:16Z

Jdrowlands: fixing 'infrequent but occasional' which doesn't make sense (both words have the same meaning)

{{samename|[[e-Reader]] application|Time Travel}}
{{incomplete}}
'''Time travel''' is an infrequent theme in the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

==In general==
*{{p|Celebi}}'s species name is the Time Travel Pokémon. In the game, anime, and various manga, Celebi has been shown to physically travel into different time periods.
*{{p|Dialga}} also has the same power to time travel as Celebi, on top of its abilities to also control time as a substance (slowing it, stopping it, etc).

==In the games==
*The [[Time Capsule]] is said to send Pokémon back and forth through time to explain how trading works between [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games.
*The {{player}} travels through time via Celebi in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The objective is to battle [[Giovanni]] in the past, as well as discovering part of {{ga|Silver}}'s past.
*In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]], one of [[Pokéstar Studios]]'s [[Timegate Traveler Series|film series]] is about time-traveling to the future.
*Games [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] are about time-traveling in [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)]]

==In the anime==
*{{an|May}} travels through time via [[Edna]]'s locket in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]''. Events in the past directly alter the original timeline.
*{{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Sheena]] travel through time via {{mov|Dialga}} in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Events in the past affect the original timeline, though not immediately.
*[[Sam]] travels through time via Celebi in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. There, he encounters {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. It is unknown if the events in the future and return to the past directly alter the original timeline, but it is hinted that it might not have and these events were already present in the original timeline.
*[[Ritchie]] travels through time via Celebi in ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]''. Events in the past directly alter the original timeline.
*{{ho|Calista}} travels through time via Baltoy and an alter in ''[[AG076|Me, Myself and Time]]''. It's also a case of meeting one's younger self. It is unknown if the events in the past directly alter the original timeline.
*[[Ferris]] travels through time via a portal in ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation!]]''. It is also a case of arriving in the far distant past as opposed to the recent past. It is unknown if the events in the past directly alter the original timeline.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
*The [[Masked Man]] desires Celebi's time-traveling ability to reunite himself with his two lost {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He wound up disappearing into Celebi's time vortex.
*{{adv|Ruby}}'s Celebi would later turn the time back, reviving both [[Norman]] and {{Steven}} who had died during the final battle of the fourth chapter.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Emerald}}
'''Pokémon Emerald Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスターエメラルド|Poketto Monsutā Emerarudo}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Emerald'') is a sister game to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions}}, and is the fifth and final [[Generation III]] [[Version|main series]] game. Like its predecessor, {{game|Crystal||Pokémon Crystal Version}}, it added many features not present in the earlier paired versions. It was released in Japan on September 16, 2004, in North America on May 1, 2005, in Australia on June 9, 2005 and in Europe on October 21, 2005.

It was the second highest selling video game of 2005 in North America. It was also the third best-selling game for the [[Game Boy Advance]], losing to its two predecessors, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions}}.

==Blurb==
The [[Hoenn]] region is unstable — Rayquaza has awakened! Your skills as a Trainer will be challenged like they've never been challenged before as you try to maintain balance between {{p|Kyogre}} & {{p|Groudon}}. Prove your skill by earning badges & gaining access to {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} — the front line of Pokémon battling that offers a whole new level of competition. Never-before-experienced battles await you!
*The third adventure with new episodes in the Hoenn region!
*Tons of new features, including surprising plot twists and changes to where and how often you can catch certain Pokémon!
*Use the Game Boy Advance [[Wireless Adapter]] to trade & battle between Pokémon Emerald and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] versions.
*Expand your collection when you trade with a friend. Using a Game Boy Advance Game Link™, link up with [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire]], Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen, or connect with [[Pokémon Colosseum]] using a [[Nintendo GameCube]]® Game Boy Advance cable. See instruction booklet for more details.

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{p|Vigoroth}} move boxes into Brendan's or May's house instead of {{p|Machoke}} (though the cries are not changed due to an oversight, but this was corrected in the v1.1 release), while a {{p|Zigzagoon}} replaces the {{p|Poochyena}} chasing [[Professor Birch]].
** Similarly, the first [[Pokémon Trainer]] fought aside from the [[rival]] has a Poochyena instead of a Zigzagoon.
* Animated Pokémon front sprites return for the first time since {{game|Crystal}}. This feature was defined as standard for the main series Pokémon games ever since. Emerald is also the first game to have animated back sprites.
* Every [[Gym]] has received at least a slight renovation due to the addition of Trainers for the option of Double Battles. Some of these Gyms received complete overhauls in their designs, such as the [[Mossdeep Gym]], which was given a new, rearranged puzzle that the {{player}} must navigate through.
* The color of the {{pkmn|Champion}}'s room at the [[Elite Four]] was recolored from its original shade of purple to blue.
* The [[legendary Pokémon]] battle intros include a different animation before moving into the battle scene. This animation involves the body patterns of the [[weather trio]] and the [[legendary golems]]'s braille eye patterns.
* A young girl now blocks {{rt|101|Hoenn}} instead of a young boy.

===Storyline changes===
* Both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] are featured as the villainous teams, each stirring trouble at different stages in the game. The objective of each team, to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively, is eventually fulfilled.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is prominent plot-wise, awakened in order to stop the destructive battle between Groudon and Kyogre. It is the one out of the three ancient Pokémon that can be captured prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge, while still at the same place and at the same high level as in Ruby and Sapphire.

===Gameplay changes===
* Groudon and Kyogre are captured at [[Terra Cave|new]] [[Marine Cave|locations]] and at higher levels.
* The entrances to the Magma and Aqua Hideouts are not sealed after defeating the Elite Four.
* The [[roaming Pokémon|Pokémon roaming]] across [[Hoenn]], {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}}, can be selected right after beating the Elite Four. The one that is not selected is available on [[Southern Island]], requiring the promotional [[Eon Ticket]].
* The [[legendary golems|Regis]]' puzzles are somewhat different, though the same in principle.
* Wireless linking with [[Union Room]], as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* [[Tag Battle]]s are available outside link-cable battling. Featured in the Battle Tower with a computer player (or, using the Wireless Adapter, a human player), as well as at the [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] stage of the game, battling alongside {{Steven}}.
* [[Double Battle]]s are more common as different Trainers can team up if the player is able to be spotted by two Trainers at once.
* [[Gym Leader]]s may be rebattled in Double Battles, with new Pokémon on their teams that are not regularly found in Hoenn.
* The Trainer's Eyes in the [[PokéNav]] is replaced by Match Call, which integrated a calling system similar to the [[Pokégear]] cellphone.
* {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} may be acquired from Professor Birch after obtaining every Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* {{p|Deoxys}} is in its Speed Forme.
* New {{cat|Abilities with field effects|field effects}} for [[Ability|Abilities]].
** Abilities have a role in breeding as {{a|Magma Armor}} and {{a|Flame Body}} hurry up the hatching process if a Pokémon which has either Ability is in the party.
* New item list for {{a|Pickup}}; Pokémon pick up items based on the Pokémon's [[level]].
* Having a [[Gender|female]] Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}} of the breeding pair hold an {{evostone|Everstone}} grants a 50% chance of passing down their [[nature]] to the hatched Pokémon when breeding.
* Raising [[friendship]] and lowering [[effort values]] with certain [[Berry|Berries]].
* The [[Mystery Gift]] option of the [[Wireless Adapter]] primarily replaces the [[Mystery Events]] option of the [[e-Reader]]. The [[Enigma Berry]] is thus obtained through Mystery Gift, unlike in Ruby and Sapphire. Mystery Events are absent from the English version of the game.
* Pokémon Contests are all held in [[Lilycove City]].
* Unlike {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, trade restrictions between games are in place. Trading with Ruby and Sapphire as well as with another Emerald only allows trading of Pokémon indigenous to [[Hoenn]] while the player possesses only the country's [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]], while the [[National Pokédex]] is required to trade with {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. This restriction also includes [[Pokémon Egg]]s from Ruby or Sapphire regardless if it contains a regional Pokémon. However, trading with {{pkmn|Colosseum}} only requires the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] regardless of the Pokémon being traded.
* All the [[Gym Leader]]s from Ruby and Sapphire, including former Gym Leader [[Wallace]], have upgraded Pokémon teams. The changes include the addition of Pokémon they did not have in Ruby and Sapphire, or in rare cases some of their previous Pokémon are removed from their team.
* Emerald is the first game to have at least one of the Gym Leader's Pokémon hold onto an item.

===Character changes===
* {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} have slight changes to the design of their outfits.
* [[Pokémon Center Ladies|Contest Lady, Quiz Lady, or Favor Lady]] in Lilycove Pokémon Center.
* New [[Move Tutor]]s added, including most of the ones in FireRed and LeafGreen (all but {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}), along with 15 others that teach moves previously acquired through [[Generation II]] [[TM]]s.
* A new Gym Leader in the [[Sootopolis Gym]], [[Juan]], while its former Gym Leader Wallace is now the Pokémon Champion.
* The former Champion [[Steven Stone|Steven]] can be fought in [[Meteor Falls]] after the [[Elite Four]] challenge, with all of his Pokémon at exactly 20 levels higher than in Ruby and Sapphire.
* [[Scott]], a new character introduced in Emerald, will meet the player numerous times throughout the game, ultimately inviting the player to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} after beating the Elite Four.

===Area additions===
* The Fossils ([[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossil, Claw Fossil]]) in the desert are now found in a short-lived tower called [[Mirage Tower]] that sinks into the ground once a Fossil is chosen. However, the other Fossil can now be acquired after the Elite Four challenge.
* {{pkmn|Battle Tent}}s replace [[Pokémon Contest]] Halls in [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]] and [[Slateport City]]. Instead, all Contests take place in [[Lilycove City]].
* A new battle area, [[Trainer Hill]], which is similar to [[Trainer Tower]] found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Features [[e-Reader]] compatibility in the Japanese version.
* Another new battle area, the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, an expansion of the existing Battle Tower. This is also the only place to find a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (Inside [[Artisan Cave]]) in the Generation III handheld games.
* New areas within the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[Desert Underpass]], introducing 19 Pokémon native to [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. 12 of these Pokémon consist of Johto Pokémon that can only be found in this version other than the Johto Starters, Sudowoodo, and Smeargle, while the other 7 can also be found in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* [[Terra Cave]] and [[Marine Cave]], accessible only after defeating Elite Four, are home to Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. The [[cave]]s are not fixed to one location, and in order to track them, it is necessary to investigate the unusual patterns concluded by the [[Weather Institute]].
* [[Navel Rock]], where {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} appear, as well as [[Birth Island]], where Deoxys appears, can be reached in the same way as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* {{p|Mew}} appears on [[Faraway Island]], an island that is located remote from Hoenn. Reaching the island requires a special promotional item, the [[Old Sea Map]].
* [[Altering Cave]] was added on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, similar to the one found in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* A [[Wireless Adapter|wireless]] minigame house (featuring the minigames [[Pokémon Jump]] and [[Dodrio Berry Picking]]) was added to [[Mossdeep City]], as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Due to the game using a modified version of the Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen engine, players can find hidden music in the games, including tracks originally used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} utilizing the [[GameShark]] device.
* While Team Aqua's [[Aqua Hideout|hideout]] is at [[Lilycove City]] just like in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Team Magma's [[Magma Hideout|hideout]] has been moved to a hidden cave at [[Jagged Pass]] and has been given a completely new design. Also, Magma Hideout is now where Groudon is first encountered.

===Missing Pokémon===
These [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] Pokémon are missing from Emerald and must be traded to the game from another Generation III game to be obtained. While {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Surskit}} can appear in Emerald, the player needs to [[Mixing records|mix records]] with a copy of Ruby or Sapphire Version in order for Surskit to appear by way of [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming]]; otherwise, Surskit cannot be legitimately caught without the aid of another game.

==Compatibility==
Emerald maintained the same levels of compatibility as its companion games {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. [[Trade|Trading]] between each of these games is possible, but not with games from Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}. This utilizes the traditional [[link cable]], or alternatively, the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] like in FireRed and LeafGreen.

While Emerald cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some of the [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Generation II Pokémon]] introduced into the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] extension can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

==Reception==
Many reviews criticized Emerald for being too similar to Ruby and Sapphire, with Game Informer stating that "there simply aren't enough changes to make this a must-buy."<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonemerald?q=pokemon 1 Pokemon Emerald (gba) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> However, IGN gave the game an "Impressive" rating of 8/10, stating that there are "special, newly-created treats sprinkled throughout the experience to make experiencing this repeat worthwhile."<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/609/609763p1.html IGN: Pokemon Emerald Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Emerald}}

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire Music Super Complete}}
The soundtrack contains all of the background music used in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (the basis for a majority of the music in Pokémon Emerald), composed by [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Gō Ichinose]], and [[Morikazu Aoki]]. However, the soundtrack does not include [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta#Music|the remastered music]] from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} or the other unused music, all of which are present in the internal data of Ruby and Sapphire, as well as Emerald.

{{main|Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Music Super Complete}}
The entire soundtrack is present in the internal data of Emerald; however, only select pieces of music are used during gameplay.

{{main|Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 Super Music Complete}}
Several music tracks exclusive to Emerald went officially unreleased until 2012, when they were included with the official soundtrack of {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}. These Emerald-exclusive tracks comprise tracks 1-16 of Disc 4 of the soundtrack.

==Beta elements==
{{main|Pokémon Emerald beta}}

==Trivia==
* Pokémon Emerald was the first game to feature Gym Leader [[rematch]]es.
* Although Pokémon Emerald is a modified version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a number of changes occurred to make it more similar to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** The game's font has been changed to one very similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen.
** The [[Power Points|PP]] counter for a move now changes color depending on how many power points are left.
** The two event locations from FireRed and LeafGreen, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], make a return.
** [[Altering Cave]], from FireRed and LeafGreen, returns in Emerald.
** All of the music tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen were inserted into Emerald, but only a handful are actually used:
*** The ''Pokémon Caught'' fanfare was changed to the one from FireRed and LeafGreen.
*** [[Navel Rock]] plays the music that was used in the routes outside [[Five Island (town)|Five Island]].
*** [[Altering Cave]] plays the music that was used in [[Mt. Moon]].
*** Battles with the non-Hoenn legendary Pokémon ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}) use the music from battles with legendary Pokémon in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Emerald was released in Japan one week after FireRed and LeafGreen were released in North America.
* {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} appear in [[Fiore]] after {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}'s ending. The two seem to have been hurt in a battle, which took place in [[Hoenn]], according to Emerald.
* The game uses a faulty implementation of the [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom number generator]] used in [[Generation III]] and {{Gen|IV}} games, which allows literally identical [[personality values]] for a Pokémon even after multiple resets. The game neglects to reseed the PRNG on startup (only doing so when the adventure is begun), which means that the personality values of an encountered Pokémon follow a predictable sequence once the seed is found and/or forced.
* Emerald has many similarities with {{game|Platinum}}: both are the third versions of their respective storylines, add a [[Battle Frontier]] in the place of the regional [[Battle Tower]], are represented by the final member of a [[legendary trio]] which was not confirmed to be part of it beforehand, and share features with the [[remake]]s of their generation that are not present in the original paired games.
* All of the Hoenn Pokédex Pokémon not available in Emerald may be obtained through {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} alone.
* Emerald was the final main series game released on the {{wp|Game Boy line}} of [[Nintendo]] handheld video game consoles.
* Emerald was also the last Nintendo game with a specifically colored [[ROM cartridges|cartridge]].
** However, since [[Nintendo DSi]]-enhanced cartridges are black, [[Pokémon Black Version 2]] is technically the last Pokémon game to have the color of its cartridge match its name.
* GameStop released a special tin with a [[Battle Pass]] and more. People could get it if they pre-ordered Pokémon Emerald online.
* Although Pokémon Emerald was released after Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and the former's game engine was based on the latter's, Pokémon Emerald didn't retain the moveset changes of all Pokémon from the latter games, instead retaining the moveset from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. This was fixed on {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and onwards. However, there are now changes:
** Some Pokémon retained their FireRed and LeafGreen updated move(s) on their level-up moveset, such as {{p|Nidoking}}'s {{m|Megahorn}}.
** The said move(s) of some Pokémon were now able to be learned via [[egg move]]s by {{pkmn|breeding}}, [[TM]]s, [[HM]]s, and [[Move Tutor]] instead, such as {{p|Charmander}}'s {{m|Metal Claw}}.
** {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} can't learn {{m|Fury Swipes}} anymore, possibly due to the fact that both have no hands or that their hands are not visible, although this is unconfirmed. However, the player can transfer both with said move from Generation III to [[Generation IV]] and onwards by transferring it via [[Pal Park]] in Generation IV and transferring it via [[Poké Transfer]] in [[Generation V]].
* Pokémon Emerald Version is the only third version which is not the next consecutive [[Version|main series]] game after its respective {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|paired versions|s}}.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Emerald}}
'''Pokémon Emerald Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスターエメラルド|Poketto Monsutā Emerarudo}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Emerald'') is a sister game to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions}}, and is the fifth and final [[Generation III]] [[Version|main series]] game. Like its predecessor, {{game|Crystal||Pokémon Crystal Version}}, it added many features not present in the earlier paired versions. It was released in Japan on September 16, 2004, in North America on May 1, 2005, in Australia on June 9, 2005 and in Europe on October 21, 2005.

It was the second highest selling video game of 2005 in North America. It was also the third best-selling game for the [[Game Boy Advance]], losing to its two predecessors, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions}}.

==Blurb==
The [[Hoenn]] region is unstable — Rayquaza has awakened! Your skills as a Trainer will be challenged like they've never been challenged before as you try to maintain balance between {{p|Kyogre}} & {{p|Groudon}}. Prove your skill by earning badges & gaining access to {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} — the front line of Pokémon battling that offers a whole new level of competition. Never-before-experienced battles await you!
*The third adventure with new episodes in the Hoenn region!
*Tons of new features, including surprising plot twists and changes to where and how often you can catch certain Pokémon!
*Use the Game Boy Advance [[Wireless Adapter]] to trade & battle between Pokémon Emerald and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] versions.
*Expand your collection when you trade with a friend. Using a Game Boy Advance Game Link™, link up with [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire]], Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen, or connect with [[Pokémon Colosseum]] using a [[Nintendo GameCube]]® Game Boy Advance cable. See instruction booklet for more details.

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{p|Vigoroth}} move boxes into Brendan's or May's house instead of {{p|Machoke}} (though the cries are not changed due to an oversight, but this was corrected in the v1.1 release), while a {{p|Zigzagoon}} replaces the {{p|Poochyena}} chasing [[Professor Birch]].
** Similarly, the first [[Pokémon Trainer]] fought aside from the [[rival]] has a Poochyena instead of a Zigzagoon.
* Animated Pokémon front sprites return for the first time since {{game|Crystal}}. This feature was defined as standard for the main series Pokémon games ever since. Emerald is also the first game to have animated back sprites.
* Every [[Gym]] has received at least a slight renovation due to the addition of Trainers for the option of Double Battles. Some of these Gyms received complete overhauls in their designs, such as the [[Mossdeep Gym]], which was given a new, rearranged puzzle that the {{player}} must navigate through.
* The color of the {{pkmn|Champion}}'s room at the [[Elite Four]] was recolored from its original shade of purple to blue.
* The [[legendary Pokémon]] battle intros include a different animation before moving into the battle scene. This animation involves the body patterns of the [[weather trio]] and the [[legendary golems]]'s braille eye patterns.
* A young girl now blocks {{rt|101|Hoenn}} instead of a young boy.

===Storyline changes===
* Both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] are featured as the villainous teams, each stirring trouble at different stages in the game. The objective of each team, to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively, is eventually fulfilled.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is prominent plot-wise, awakened in order to stop the destructive battle between Groudon and Kyogre. It is the one out of the three ancient Pokémon that can be captured prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge, while still at the same place and at the same high level as in Ruby and Sapphire.

===Gameplay changes===
* Groudon and Kyogre are captured at [[Terra Cave|new]] [[Marine Cave|locations]] and at higher levels.
* The entrances to the Magma and Aqua Hideouts are not sealed after defeating the Elite Four.
* The [[roaming Pokémon|Pokémon roaming]] across [[Hoenn]], {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}}, can be selected right after beating the Elite Four. The one that is not selected is available on [[Southern Island]], requiring the promotional [[Eon Ticket]].
* The [[legendary golems|Regis]]' puzzles are somewhat different, though the same in principle.
* Wireless linking with [[Union Room]], as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* [[Tag Battle]]s are available outside link-cable battling. Featured in the Battle Tower with a computer player (or, using the Wireless Adapter, a human player), as well as at the [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] stage of the game, battling alongside {{Steven}}.
* [[Double Battle]]s are more common as different Trainers can team up if the player is able to be spotted by two Trainers at once.
* [[Gym Leader]]s may be rebattled in Double Battles, with new Pokémon on their teams that are not regularly found in Hoenn.
* The Trainer's Eyes in the [[PokéNav]] is replaced by Match Call, which integrated a calling system similar to the [[Pokégear]] cellphone.
* {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} may be acquired from Professor Birch after obtaining every Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* {{p|Deoxys}} is in its Speed Forme.
* New {{cat|Abilities with field effects|field effects}} for [[Ability|Abilities]].
** Abilities have a role in breeding as {{a|Magma Armor}} and {{a|Flame Body}} hurry up the hatching process if a Pokémon which has either Ability is in the party.
* New item list for {{a|Pickup}}; Pokémon pick up items based on the Pokémon's [[level]].
* Having a [[Gender|female]] Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}} of the breeding pair hold an {{evostone|Everstone}} grants a 50% chance of passing down their [[nature]] to the hatched Pokémon when breeding.
* Raising [[friendship]] and lowering [[effort values]] with certain [[Berry|Berries]].
* The [[Mystery Gift]] option of the [[Wireless Adapter]] primarily replaces the [[Mystery Events]] option of the [[e-Reader]]. The [[Enigma Berry]] is thus obtained through Mystery Gift, unlike in Ruby and Sapphire. Mystery Events are absent from the English version of the game.
* Pokémon Contests are all held in [[Lilycove City]].
* Unlike {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, trade restrictions between games are in place. Trading with Ruby and Sapphire as well as with another Emerald only allows trading of Pokémon indigenous to [[Hoenn]] while the player possesses only the country's [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]], while the [[National Pokédex]] is required to trade with {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. This restriction also includes [[Pokémon Egg]]s from Ruby or Sapphire regardless if it contains a regional Pokémon. However, trading with {{pkmn|Colosseum}} only requires the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] regardless of the Pokémon being traded.
* All the [[Gym Leader]]s from Ruby and Sapphire, including former Gym Leader [[Wallace]], have upgraded Pokémon teams. The changes include the addition of Pokémon they did not have in Ruby and Sapphire, or in rare cases some of their previous Pokémon are removed from their team.
* Emerald is the first game to have at least one of the Gym Leader's Pokémon hold onto an item.

===Character changes===
* {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} have slight changes to the design of their outfits.
* [[Pokémon Center Ladies|Contest Lady, Quiz Lady, or Favor Lady]] in Lilycove Pokémon Center.
* New [[Move Tutor]]s added, including most of the ones in FireRed and LeafGreen (all but {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}), along with 15 others that teach moves previously acquired through [[Generation II]] [[TM]]s.
* A new Gym Leader in the [[Sootopolis Gym]], [[Juan]], while its former Gym Leader Wallace is now the Pokémon Champion.
* The former Champion [[Steven Stone|Steven]] can be fought in [[Meteor Falls]] after the [[Elite Four]] challenge, with all of his Pokémon at exactly 20 levels higher than in Ruby and Sapphire.
* [[Scott]], a new character introduced in Emerald, will meet the player numerous times throughout the game, ultimately inviting the player to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} after beating the Elite Four.

===Area additions===
* The Fossils ([[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossil, Claw Fossil]]) in the desert are now found in a short-lived tower called [[Mirage Tower]] that sinks into the ground once a Fossil is chosen. However, the other Fossil can now be acquired after the Elite Four challenge.
* {{pkmn|Battle Tent}}s replace [[Pokémon Contest]] Halls in [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]] and [[Slateport City]]. Instead, all Contests take place in [[Lilycove City]].
* A new battle area, [[Trainer Hill]], which is similar to [[Trainer Tower]] found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Features [[e-Reader]] compatibility in the Japanese version.
* Another new battle area, the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, an expansion of the existing Battle Tower. This is also the only place to find a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (Inside [[Artisan Cave]]) in the Generation III handheld games.
* New areas within the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[Desert Underpass]], introducing 19 Pokémon native to [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. 12 of these Pokémon consist of Johto Pokémon that can only be found in this version other than the Johto Starters, Sudowoodo, and Smeargle, while the other 7 can also be found in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* [[Terra Cave]] and [[Marine Cave]], accessible only after defeating Elite Four, are home to Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. The [[cave]]s are not fixed to one location, and in order to track them, it is necessary to investigate the unusual patterns concluded by the [[Weather Institute]].
* [[Navel Rock]], where {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} appear, as well as [[Birth Island]], where Deoxys appears, can be reached in the same way as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* {{p|Mew}} appears on [[Faraway Island]], an island that is located remote from Hoenn. Reaching the island requires a special promotional item, the [[Old Sea Map]].
* [[Altering Cave]] was added on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, similar to the one found in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* A [[Wireless Adapter|wireless]] minigame house (featuring the minigames [[Pokémon Jump]] and [[Dodrio Berry Picking]]) was added to [[Mossdeep City]], as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Due to the game using a modified version of the Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen engine, players can find hidden music in the games, including music originally used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} utilizing the [[GameShark]] device.
* While Team Aqua's [[Aqua Hideout|hideout]] is at [[Lilycove City]] just like in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Team Magma's [[Magma Hideout|hideout]] has been moved to a hidden cave at [[Jagged Pass]] and has been given a completely new design. Also, Magma Hideout is now where Groudon is first encountered.

===Missing Pokémon===
These [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] Pokémon are missing from Emerald and must be traded to the game from another Generation III game to be obtained. While {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Surskit}} can appear in Emerald, the player needs to [[Mixing records|mix records]] with a copy of Ruby or Sapphire Version in order for Surskit to appear by way of [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming]]; otherwise, Surskit cannot be legitimately caught without the aid of another game.

|}

==Compatibility==
Emerald maintained the same levels of compatibility as its companion games {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. [[Trade|Trading]] between each of these games is possible, but not with games from Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}. This utilizes the traditional [[link cable]], or alternatively, the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] like in FireRed and LeafGreen.

While Emerald cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some of the [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Generation II Pokémon]] introduced into the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] extension can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

==Reception==
Many reviews criticized Emerald for being too similar to Ruby and Sapphire, with Game Informer stating that "there simply aren't enough changes to make this a must-buy."<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonemerald?q=pokemon 1 Pokemon Emerald (gba) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> However, IGN gave the game an "Impressive" rating of 8/10, stating that there are "special, newly-created treats sprinkled throughout the experience to make experiencing this repeat worthwhile."<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/609/609763p1.html IGN: Pokemon Emerald Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Emerald}}

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire Music Super Complete}}
The soundtrack contains all of the background music used in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (the basis for a majority of the music in Pokémon Emerald), composed by [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Gō Ichinose]], and [[Morikazu Aoki]]. However, the soundtrack does not include [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta#Music|the remastered music]] from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} or the other unused music, all of which are present in the internal data of Ruby and Sapphire, as well as Emerald.

{{main|Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Music Super Complete}}
The entire soundtrack is present in the internal data of Emerald; however, only select pieces of music are used during gameplay.

{{main|Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 Super Music Complete}}
Several music tracks exclusive to Emerald went officially unreleased until 2012, when they were included with the official soundtrack of {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}. These Emerald-exclusive tracks comprise tracks 1-16 of Disc 4 of the soundtrack.

==Beta elements==

==Trivia==
* Pokémon Emerald was the first game to feature Gym Leader [[rematch]]es.
* Although Pokémon Emerald is a modified version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a number of changes occurred to make it more similar to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** The game's font has been changed to one very similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen.
** The [[Power Points|PP]] counter for a move now changes color depending on how many power points are left.
** The two event locations from FireRed and LeafGreen, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], make a return.
** [[Altering Cave]], from FireRed and LeafGreen, returns in Emerald.
** All of the music tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen were inserted into Emerald, but only a handful are actually used:
*** The ''Pokémon Caught'' fanfare was changed to the one from FireRed and LeafGreen.
*** [[Navel Rock]] plays the music that was used in the routes outside [[Five Island (town)|Five Island]].
*** [[Altering Cave]] plays the music that was used in [[Mt. Moon]].
*** Battles with the non-Hoenn legendary Pokémon ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}) use the music from battles with legendary Pokémon in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Emerald was released in Japan one week after FireRed and LeafGreen were released in North America.
* {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} appear in [[Fiore]] after {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}'s ending. The two seem to have been hurt in a battle, which took place in [[Hoenn]], according to Emerald.
* The game uses a faulty implementation of the [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom number generator]] used in [[Generation III]] and {{Gen|IV}} games, which allows literally identical [[personality values]] for a Pokémon even after multiple resets. The game neglects to reseed the PRNG on startup (only doing so when the adventure is begun), which means that the personality values of an encountered Pokémon follow a predictable sequence once the seed is found and/or forced.
* Emerald has many similarities with {{game|Platinum}}: both are the third versions of their respective storylines, add a [[Battle Frontier]] in the place of the regional [[Battle Tower]], are represented by the final member of a [[legendary trio]] which was not confirmed to be part of it beforehand, and share features with the [[remake]]s of their generation that are not present in the original paired games.
* All of the Hoenn Pokédex Pokémon not available in Emerald may be obtained through {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} alone.
* Emerald was the final main series game released on the {{wp|Game Boy line}} of [[Nintendo]] handheld video game consoles.
* Emerald was also the last Nintendo game with a specifically colored [[ROM cartridges|cartridge]].
** However, since [[Nintendo DSi]]-enhanced cartridges are black, [[Pokémon Black Version 2]] is technically the last Pokémon game to have the color of its cartridge match its name.
* GameStop released a special tin with a [[Battle Pass]] and more. People could get it if they pre-ordered Pokémon Emerald online.
* Although Pokémon Emerald was released after Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and the former's game engine was based on the latter's, Pokémon Emerald didn't retain the moveset changes of all Pokémon from the latter games, instead retaining the moveset from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. This was fixed on {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and onwards. However, there are now changes:
** Some Pokémon retained their FireRed and LeafGreen updated move(s) on their level-up moveset, such as {{p|Nidoking}}'s {{m|Megahorn}}.
** The said move(s) of some Pokémon were now able to be learned via [[egg move]]s by {{pkmn|breeding}}, [[TM]]s, [[HM]]s, and [[Move Tutor]] instead, such as {{p|Charmander}}'s {{m|Metal Claw}}.
** {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} can't learn {{m|Fury Swipes}} anymore, possibly due to the fact that both have no hands or that their hands are not visible, although this is unconfirmed. However, the player can transfer both with said move from Generation III to [[Generation IV]] and onwards by transferring it via [[Pal Park]] in Generation IV and transferring it via [[Poké Transfer]] in [[Generation V]].
* Pokémon Emerald Version is the only third version which is not the next consecutive [[Version|main series]] game after its respective {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|paired versions|s}}.

'''Spiritomb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] ミカルゲ ''Mikaruge'') is a {{t|Ghost}}/{{t|Dark}}-type Pokémon. It is notable for being one of the few Pokémon introduced in Generation IV that does not evolve. It is also notable in that it is the second Pokémon with no weaknesses, the first being {{p|Sableye}}.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Spiritomb resembles a swirling, purple vortex with green light circling the face. Spiritomb has a green mouth with a crooked expression and two green eyes shaped like half-crescents. One of the eyes has a spiral-shaped pupil. Spiritomb is attached to a light-brown stone, known as an [[Odd Keystone]]. It is also composed of 108 malevolent spirits.

=Trivia=
Spiritomb is the second Pokémon created which is weak to no type. The first was {{p|Sableye}}.
==Origin==
Spiritomb is based on a spirit attached to a stone. It also based on a Buddhist tradition performed on New Year's Eve in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve nirvana.
===Name origin===
Its name may come from mika (甕), meaning ''jar'' or ''urn'', referring to its being a container of souls; and karuishi (軽石), ''[[wp:pumice|pumice]]'', referring to its base, the Crucial Stone. Spiritomb is a combination of "spirit" and "tomb".

Sinnoh myths

2007-05-29T10:21:56Z

Jdrowlands: /* Veilstone’s Myth */

There are many '''myths''' in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Below are several from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] from the library in [[Canalave City]]:

=Sinnoh Myth=
Betray not your anger, lest ??? will
come.
Weep not with sorrow, or ??? will
draw near.
When joy and enjoyment come natural
as the very air, that is happiness.
Let such be blessed by the hand
of Master ???.
Those words were spoken often
as customary.

It is generally suspected the ??? refers to {{p|Mesprit}}.

=Sinnoh Region’s Mythology=
Long ago, when Sinnoh had just been
made, Pokémon and humans led
separate lives.
That is not to say they did not help
each other. No, indeed they did.
They supplied each other with goods,
and supported each other.
A Pokémon proposed to the others
to always be ready to help humans.
It asked that Pokémon be ready to
appear before humans always.
Thus, to this day, Pokémon appear
to us if we venture into tall grass.

=Sinnoh’s Myth=
[[Lake trio|Three Pokémon]] there were.
Into the lakes they dove.
Deep, deep, drawing no breath.
Deeper, deeper they dove.
Into suffocating depths they dove.
Deeper, then deepest they alight.
From the lake floor they rise.
Bearing with them the power to make
vast lands, they rise again.

=Veilstone’s Myth=
A young man, callow and foolish in
innocence, came to own a sword.
With it, he smote Pokémon, which gave
sustenance, with carefree abandon.
Those not taken as food, he
discarded, with no afterthought.
The following year, no Pokémon
appeared. Larders grew bare.
The young man, seeking the missing
Pokémon, journeyed afar.
Long did he search. And far and wide,
too, until one he did find.
Asked he, “Why do you hide?”
To which the Pokémon replied...
“If you bear your sword to bring
harm upon us, with claws and
fangs, we will exact a toll.
“From your kind we will take our
toll, for it must be done.
“Done it must be to guard ourselves
and for it, I apologize.”
To the skies, the young man shouted
his dismay.
“In having found the sword, I have
lost so much.
“Gorged with power, I grew blind
to Pokémon being alive.
“I will never fall savage again.
This sword I denounce and forsake.
“I plead for forgiveness,
for I was but a fool.”
So saying, the young man hurled the
sword to the ground, snapping it.
Seeing this, the Pokémon disappeared
to a place beyond seeing...

The Pokémon may possibly refer to [[Giratina]].

=The Original Story=
In the beginning, there was only
a churning turmoil of chaos.
At the heart of chaos, where all
things became one, appeared an Egg.
Having tumbled from the vortex, the
Egg gave rise to the [[Arceus (Pokémon)|Original One]].
From itself, two beings the Original
One did make.
[[Dialga (Pokémon)|Time]] started to spin.
[[Palkia (Pokémon)|Space]] began to expand.
From itself again, [[Lake trio|three living things]]
the Original One did make.
The two beings wished, and from them,
matter came to be.
The three living things wished, and
from them, spirit came to be.
The world created, the Original One
took to unyielding sleep...

=A Horrific Myth=
Look not into the Pokémon’s eyes.
In but an instant, you’ll have no
recollection of who you are.
Return home, but how?
When there is nothing to remember?
Dare not touch the Pokémon’s body.
In but three short days, all emotions
will drain away.
Above all, above all, harm not
the Pokémon.
In a scant five days, the offender
will grow immobile in entirety.

This tale is probably in reference to the [[Lake trio]], and their relation to knowledge, emotion, and willpower.

=Sinnoh Folk Tales=
“Sinnoh Folk Story 1”
Pick clean the bones of Pokémon
caught in the sea or stream.
Thank them for the meals they
provide, and pick their bones clean.
When the bones are as clean as can
be, set them free in the water from
which they came.
The Pokémon will return, fully
fleshed, and it begins anew.

“Sinnoh Folk Story 2”
There lived a Pokémon in a forest.
In the forest, the Pokémon shed its
hide to sleep as a human.
Awakened, the human dons the
Pokémon hide to roam villages.

“Sinnoh Folk Story 3”
There once were Pokémon that
became very close to humans.
There once were humans and Pokémon
that ate together at the same table.
It was a time when there existed no
differences to distinguish the two.

==Note==
In the literal translation of Sinnoh Folk Story 3, the myth originally referred to Pokémon and people marrying each other.

=Trivia=
*This is the second event legendary Pokémon, which was thought only to be received at a Nintendo event. However in the Japanese version of Diamond/Pearl, it can be caught through a glitch involving Surf in the room of the first Elite Four member.
*Shaymin is the first pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
*Shaymin is, as of [[Generation IV]], the shortest legendary Pokémon.
*Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays.
* Shaymin is implied to be behind the creation of [[Floaroma Town]], as one person notes it was a barren wasteland till one day flowers mysteriously covered it all.

==Origin==
Shaymin is based on either a [[wp:hedgehog|hedgehog]] or [[wp:porcupine|porcupine]].
===Name origin===
Its name may come from the word [[wp:shame|shame]], as it is a very shy and elusive Pokémon. It may also be derived from [[wp:Shamanism|Shaman]]. Its Japanese name, Sheimi, contains ''mi'', which means "seed" in Japanese.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arseus'') is the last [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]] and the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Pokédex]] as of that generation.

Arceus is classified as the "Alpha Pokémon", is often referred to as the "Original One", and is said to be the creator of the Pokémon universe. {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are said to be alter-egos of Arceus, and it also created {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}.

This is the fourth event legendary Pokémon, which can only be received during a Pokémon event or a Nintendo event.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Arseus is possibly an equine being that may be based on a horse-like mammal or qilin. Its body is white and has gold hooves attached to its four legs. Its hair or mane is quite long and its face is green. It also has a cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color based on Arseus' current type

Arceus has been described as the Pokémon who created the Pokémon universe, something that may break the long-standing theory that {{p|Mew}} is the ancestor of all Pokémon, though any number of other theories may be proven true in time.
===Gender differences===
Arceus is genderless, as it is the only one.

===Special abilities===
While Arceus may be a pure {{T|Normal}}-type, due to Arceus's Multi-Type ability allows for its type to change into any of the other 16 types depending on what type of special plate it holds.

Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, also changes its type depending on the type of special plate Arceus is holding.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Arceus is rumored to live at the [[Beginning Dimension]].

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=Trivia=
At level 80, Arceus is the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. By statistical average, Arceus is the strongest Pokémon yet.

The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}, even though ???-type Arceus is unobtainable.

Although Arceus is considered the Creation Pokemon, it cannot learn all of the TMs and HMs like {{p|Mew}} can.
==Origin==
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the [[wp:qilin|qilin]].
===Name origin===
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arseus'') is the last [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]] and the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Pokédex]] as of that generation.

Arceus is classified as the "Alpha Pokémon", is often referred to as the "Original One", and is said to be the creator of the Pokémon universe. {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are said to be alter-egos of Arceus, and it also created {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}.

This is the fourth event legendary Pokémon, which can only be received during a Pokémon event or a Nintendo event.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Arseus is possibly an equine being that may be based on a horse-like mammal or qilin. Its body is white and has gold hooves attached to its four legs. Its hair or mane is quite long and its face is green. It also has a cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color based on Arseus' current type

Arceus has been described as the Pokémon who created the Pokémon universe, something that may break the long-standing theory that {{p|Mew}} is the ancestor of all Pokémon, though any number of other theories may be proven true in time.
===Gender differences===
Arceus is genderless, as it is the only one.

===Special abilities===
While Arceus may be a pure {{T|Normal}}-type, due to Arceus's Multi-Type ability allows for its type to change into any of the other 16 types depending on what type of special plate it holds.

Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, also changes its type depending on the type of special plate Arceus is holding.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Arceus is rumored to live at the [[Beginning Dimension]].

==Diet==

=Trivia=
At level 80, Arceus is the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. By statistical average, Arceus is the strongest Pokémon yet.

The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}, even though ???-type Arceus is unobtainable.

Although Arceus is considered the Creation Pokemon, it cannot learn all of the TMs and HMs like {{p|Mew}} can.
==Origin==
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the [[wp:qilin|qilin]].
===Name origin===
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''.
