[[User_talk:Celadonkey/Archive|Archive]]

== Two things ==

#If you archive a user talk page, please add a link to the archived page somewhere at the top of the page, so other users could access it easier.
#I noticed you did four edits to a subpage of your userspace. Instead, be sure to preview your edits so you can catch errors. That way, you can reduce the amount of consecutive edits.

Thanks! [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 21:03, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
:1. Okay, will do. How would I get to an archive?
:2. I did use preview. The first three edits I didn't want to do all at once, and the fourth was adding something I didn't know about when I was editing (the candidates for mainspace thing). I do try to use the preview feature. ----[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 21:49, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

== Welcomes ==

FYI, we usually don't welcome users who haven't made any contributions. There are many accounts created on BP that never make any edits.

(Also, you need to add a link to the old talk page you archived at the top of this page, like Berrenta said above.)

[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:16, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
:Okay, thanks for telling me. But like I asked Berrenta, how would I get to the archive? I don't remember the link I put it at. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:18, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
::Your archive is [[User talk:Celadonkey/Archive]]. I know, it's sometimes hard to find things once you've moved them :) For future reference, if you start typing in the search bar, it'll give you a drop down with suggestions, that's how I found your archive--just started typing "User talk:Celadonkey" and it popped up :) '''[[User:Slimey01|slimey]][[User talk:Slimey01|01]]''' 00:53, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
:::You could also see it right in this page's history. Or you could even check your own contributions (up near the "log out" link). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:15, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
::::Done! Thanks. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 15:03, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

== Trivia edits ==

Hey so uh idk how else to talk to you so I hope this is ok??
Anyway regarding Trivia, actually yeah I read the page you posted (Trivia Policy) and as I've been looking at the highest stats( for each type) the other day, I noticed there are more than 2 way ties sometimes, so I edited those out.
However I wanted to ask (I assume you're not a Trivia mod or anything but still) - when it comes to the Shuckle/Mega Steelix/Mega Aggron tie with Defense, it's the highest Defense of '''all Pokemon''', is that notable enough or not? I'd leave it on Shuckle's page, because it mentions its extreme stat distribution, but idk about the other two... thanks for help. [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 20:30, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:I'm not a mod at all, lol. I don't even think I've been a member for a year! (although I have been using Bulbapedia since at least 2008 for info) the trivia policy page isn't mine, it's forcefire's.

:Honestly having something on Shuckle's page seems fine as long as you mention "non-mega evolved". --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:32, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
::Just poking my head in here, staff members such as Tiddlywinks regularly remove highest-stat-trivia that mention "non-Mega Evolved" because making exceptions/clarifications like that make it unnotable. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:51, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:::Huh, didn't know that. I thought it did the opposite. Thanks. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:01, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the comment, I mean with Shuckle I think it should stay because it's out of all Pokemon+Shuckle's Trivia talks about extremity of its stat distribution, but guess it should be edited out of Steelix and Aggron articles. I'm going ahead and deleting them until someone comes along and decides something else.
::::(Also, regarding non-Megas; Arceus's Defense still stays lmao...) [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 21:07, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:::::Just stepping in, ties for the '''highest base stat''' or '''highest bst''' are '''notable'''. Other ties are not notable, however.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:21, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

==Hey Celadonkey==

I dont understand much of how to reply and stuff, so here is my reply, putting this on your page

Just a reply to your answer, I dont see any way to add a language on the side, just the ones that are there. Please help? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:Well, first of all, some talk page etiquette: Always sign your messages with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Pressing enter five times in order to make a space between lines takes up a lot of room; one space between lines will do.

:Second of all, Bulbapedia is an English wiki. It is affiliated with, but not operated by the same people as Pokemon wikis in other languages, such as PokeWiki in German, Pokepedia in French, or 52Poke in Chinese. If you want to edit in a different languages, I'd go to those wikis. If you want to add a link on a Bulbapedia article to a corresponding article in, say, French, what you'd do is put <nowiki>[[fr:(the name of the French article here)]]</nowiki> at the bottom of the Bulbapedia article.

:I hope I answered your question. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:24, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::But what I mean is a totally new language, which isnt there a.k.a Norwegian, my native tounge.

::Sooo what can I do? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:::First of all, good job with the spacing, but remember to put four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) after you've finished your comment. This makes a signature. Also, make sure to add colons before your comments. I added some for you, you can look in the code to see what I mean. You should add one more colon than the person before you did.

:::To make a new wiki in a completely new language is outside of Bulbapedia's powers. As I said, Bulbapedia is "affiliated with, but not operated by the same people as Pokemon wikis in other languages". This means the people who operate Bulbapedia do not also operate foreign Pokemon wikis. To make a new wiki, you'd have to set up your own server, and set everything up there, and then contact Bulbapedia to see if you can affiliate with the owners. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:31, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::::Side note: I see you've added Magearna's Norwegian name, and that's awesome. If you could add the Norwegian name for as many Pokemon as possible, that would be great, and I'm sure Bulbapedia would really appreciate it. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:33, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

== Removing the one at Mega Evolving ==

Yes, I talked specific about Sun and Moon, as its the only game I know how to obtain these things, and others could've added the X and Y version and fixed that, instead, you removed the whole thing, please.

I even copied the whole thing

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] you can obtain a [[Key Stone]] and a [[Alakazite]] by going to [[Vast Poni Canyon]] and then walking on the path to the [[Battle Tree]] There you will be greeted by [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]].[[Dexio]] tells you about the mega stone, and challenges you to a battle. He will have these pokemon,at level 61, an [[Espeon]], an [[Alolan Raichu]], a [[Slowking]], an [[Metagross]] and an [[Alakazam]] holding an [[Alakazite]], and [[Dexio]] mega evolves [[Alakazam]] into an [[Mega Alakazam]], and if you beat [[Dexio]], he gives you both items, and you are free to continue to the [[Battle Tree]] where you can buy various [[Mega Stones]] for BattlePoints (BP)

yes i did.

Soooooooo, can you readd it please?

[[User:Adrizz|Adrizz]] ([[User talk:Adrizz|talk]]) 21:11, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah, I read it. The reason I undid it is because this is the type of thing you'd find in a walkthrough. Maybe a more concise, less detailed version could be added elsewhere on the page, but this is way too specific and in the wrong place.

:A lot of things that you write will be undone. A lot of things I've added have been undone. After some time, you will get a grasp on the type of style and information Bulbapedia strives for. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:20, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::Hey, I just added a summary for X and Y, as I found a video online how to, and then just read this, could you reedit it to fit more what you mean? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:::Thanks for checking in. After some careful thought, I decided that this belongs at the Key Stone article, because it's about obtaining the ability to Mega Evolve, not the process of Mega Evolution itself, but... It's already there. Sorry :C --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:47, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::::Oh.. Well, Im new to atchually wiki editing. Im not known that that part belongs there and then I think its that place and blah blah blah. Well, its just a noobish dude trying to help, (thats me)

::::Well, anyways, I gotta go soon, so bye!

== Comments ==

Please do not edit talk page comments, even your own, to fix any errors. Just leave them be. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:04, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
:Alright. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 11:05, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

== Category linking ==

Just a tip, when linking directly to category pages, use either {{template|cat}} or a colon before "Category" (eg. <nowiki>[[:Category: X]]</nowiki>). Linking categories like any other namespace just adds the page to the category instead of creating an actual link.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:11, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
:Woah, that's bad! I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 23:24, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

== Location names ==

As a rule, I would ask that you not change text in item location descriptions based on the guidebook's names. Oftentimes, your change turns the description from something immediately useful to something completely opaque unless people realize they have to look elsewhere on the page as well. And those descriptions should be as helpful as possible without asking people to go back and forth on the page.

Can you also tell me whether any of these area names are used outside of captions? I'm wondering if these are really capitalized names or if they might only be in title case because of the context you're taking it from (and sentence case could be the proper default). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:21, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

== Spaceworld ==

Are you still working on your userspace page about Spaceworld? Or are you done? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 03:41, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
:I have been hoping to finish it but I have not been on Bulbapedia as often anymore— I have a lot of other things going on. If you'd like to help out it would be appreciated. Why do you ask? --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 21:15, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
::I guess I just want to see all of the leaked beta Pokemon listed in one place. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 23:45, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:::Yeah, me too. I kind of wish (read: I very much wish) that we could just start putting stuff in the mainspace slowly rather than all at once, because then more activity would be spurred, but until then, I will just occasionally work on my stuff. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 03:33, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

== Oh, uhh.. 'Bout the Xerneas and forces of natures ==

I had no idea why I even edited that right after I found it in the sandbox thing.
Maybe because the other ones seemed legit :/

== Bulbapedia Rework ==

Hello, Carmenstar97.
My name is Xeraphyy. Last month, a tweet was made announcing that Bulbapedia was going through some site upgrades. The link to the tweet is below.

https://twitter.com/Bulbapedia/status/1228458215324545024

I was wondering if the site upgrades are still continuing. Do you know of the status of the rework? Please get back to me when you can. [[User:Xeraphyy|Xeraphyy]] ([[User talk:Xeraphyy|talk]]) 18:18, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
:I think you messaged the wrong guy... You can contact Carmenstar97 [[User talk:Carmenstar97|here]]. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 18:24, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

== Hello! ==

So, um, I went to cinderace’s trivia page to edit it, and I edited it! But it got deleted, why?
Btw this is what I typed:
[[Cinderace]] Is the only generation 8 starter that has 2 signature moves, [[Pyro Ball]] and [[Court Change]].
What did I do wrong?
[[User:Motdab|Motdab]] ([[User talk:Motdab|talk]]) 11:35, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
: It's because there's only three Gen VIII starters, and that's not a big enough group to be notable.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]] ([[User talk:Animaltamer7|talk]]) 15:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
::This is correct. Force Fire noted it in the edit summary. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 16:29, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

== Move "weather trio" to "Super-ancient Pokémon" ==

I didn't mean to merge a page by copy-pasting its contents to a new page. I want to move the page "[[Weather trio]]" to "Super-ancient Pokémon", but I cannot do that. Would you please do that for me so it preserves the page history and confirms the copyright of all of the page's editors? --[[User:SaturnMario|SaturnMario]], [[User talk:SaturnMario|his talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/SaturnMario|his contributions]] 01:16, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

== general user page help for others==

i will just keep this breif, so if your a new user how many edits do you need to make a user page?

this has been S.W.A.I.

[[User:Snorlax With Anger Issuess|Snorlax With Anger Issuess]] ([[User talk:Snorlax With Anger Issuess|talk]]) 03:07, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
:Just keep making edits in the mainspace and you'll eventually be able to make your userpage. [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]] ([[User talk:Animaltamer7|talk]]) 04:39, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

::SWAI, that number is kept secret. As far as I know there's also a time aspect. Basically what Animaltamer said... as long as you keep being a diligent editor, you'll get that privilege. (Admittedly, I have not been so diligent lately, but that's for mostly personal reasons...)

::However, I don't think it's a good idea to just make edits for the purpose of being able to create a userpage. The point of Bulbapedia is to contribute to the site as a whole; it's not a social media. That's more or less why the specifics are kept secret.

::Also, I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but Animaltamer, you don't need to answer questions for me on my talk page. Although I might not be going out of my way to edit much, I do check my watchlist every single day for anything important. I appreciate the sentiment though. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 21:25, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

== Delete Account ==

Hey, I'm just trying to figure out how I can do about deleting my account here per the California Consumer Privacy Act. Do you know what I would need to do or who I would need to talk to?

Thanks {{unsigned|Brieoncrackers}}
:I've brought it up to staff. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 03:33, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
::Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to safely delete user accounts on Bulbapedia due to limitations in the Mediawiki software. This issue has been raised with the developers of the Mediawiki software, and the feature may be made available in the future.

== Anime series sections ==

Hey, I created a proposal of adding series sections in the articles for Pokémon species. For instance, adding "Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl", "Pokémon the Series: Black & White", etc. sections in {{p|Pikachu}}.

This is being discussed here: [[Bulbapedia talk:Editor's Hub#Pokémon pages with anime series sections]]. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 23:04, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
:Hey Daniel,

:I don't really watch the anime, but I can check the proposal out. Thanks for letting me know. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 01:47, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

::Sure, no problem. :) --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 01:54, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

== Type effectivness ==

I see you reverted my edits on type pages. I thought that since "Effectiveness" section show type relations, there should be mentioned moves that technically are particular type but break the rules on type relations.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 14:19, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
:I don't think it's useful information. Struggle is a move that has a lot of separate type effectiveness properties from its type, compared to something like Freeze-Dry, so listing it on all of the affected types is quite redundant. This is why, I assume, that Flying Press isn't listed on the Grass page as well, for example. For some moves it's much better to just list it on the move's page, and I believe the moves you were adding fall into that.

:If you'd like to bring it up for further discussion, you can post about it on a talk page. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 19:15, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
::It is absolutely necessary to write every exception to the rule. We can't allow to have any misleading information. I'm still considering the addition of Flying Press as it isn't really dual type move in game data. --'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 20:06, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
:::I see that you've gone ahead and added it all back. You need to bring it up on a talk page ''before'' adding it to the articles, especially when you're undoing an administrator- this is verging on edit warring. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 22:30, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

== Greetings ==

I've made a ''very'' large number of helpful mainspace edits. I humbly ask if there's a possibility to bring me back my userspace privileges. Finally, once I get my userspace privileges back, I will prove to you that I will be responsible with the userspace privileges in the future by remembering to use the preview button while exiting userspace pages, so as to avoid editing many times in a row. --[[User:SaturnMario|SaturnMario]], [[User talk:SaturnMario|his talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/SaturnMario|his contributions]] 04:41, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
:Hey SaturnMario,

:You might have a better time bringing this up to some other staff, I'm just a junior administrator and I honestly had no idea that your userspace privileges were ever revoked.

:I'll pass the message on to the rest of staff, though. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 18:18, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

== Userpage question ==

Hey Celadonkey,
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I have a bulbapedia userpage from 2008 that I'd like to go in and edit (didn't quite understand the internet back then lol). I don't have access to that old account though, so I'd need admin permission to edit. Is this something you're able to grant? Happy to provide any additional info needed.

Thanks :) {{unsigned|Mylatte}}
:Hey Mylatte,

:When you get autoconfirmed, you can create a new userpage with the content you'd like. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 02:28, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

==New Article and Category Proposal -- Flora of the Pokémon World==
So uh, I think you can pretty much guess what I'm getting at here, but to clarify this is specifically in relation to things such as berries and other items as opposed to the grass-type. Flora in Pokémon works pretty much like in the real world mostly, although a few instances stand out. I've [https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/new-article-proposal-flora-of-the-pokemon-world.292264/ posted] this idea on the forums, and I've been sporadically working on an outline for such an article on my personal page, but there seems to be a lack of interest. So yeah, I decided to directly go to an admin.
I know I'm not a big editor on this wiki (or any for that matter) but flora plays a bigger part in the games and other media than most people realize and I feel it's a shame that it's being overlooked, so I'm asking if you could at least discuss this with the other admins and get their thoughts. I know that you can't promise anything but it is something at least to consider, so thanks in advance for hearing me out at least. [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] ([[User talk:Manga-in-a-bottle|talk]]) 03:30, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

== Account Deletion Request ==

Hey there, I've been looking through the sites recommendations, and I wanted to say that I want to delete my account because I dont use it anymore and its not needed for me.

== Add Hisui to Regional Pokedex Templates ==

Hey, I'm requesting the addition of Hisui to the regional Pokédex table templates (LADex). It's been 8 months since Legends: Arceus came out and it still hasn't been added. If you're not sure how, please pass this message to someone who knows. Thanks, [[User:PinkYoshiGaming|PinkYoshiGaming]] ([[User talk:PinkYoshiGaming|talk]]) 18:23, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

== Image Revision Request ==

Hello, still fairly new to the rules of this wiki so I may be doing this wrong but I read somewhere here that I’m supposed to get the permission of an admin to revise an image.

The Emerald art of Brandon uses the wrong colour palette, and the newly revealed Brandon TCG card shows off a more accurate palette.

With the help of my friend NamMisa I was able to restore the image to near accurate colours.

I was wondering if the wiki could use the image under the (subject to change) filename “Emerald Pyramid King Brandon.png”

Unfortunately, it seems I can’t attach the image here. Hopefully there’s a way to do so.

Please do let me know your thoughts on this matter.

[[User:ThatKidFromSinnoh|ThatKidFromSinnoh]] ([[User talk:ThatKidFromSinnoh|talk]]) 8:24, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for reaching out. If you have upload permissions on the Archives you should just be able to upload it as a new version of the existing file. If not, then maybe you could try sending the image in the #bulbapedia channel of the Bulbagarden Discord for someone else to upload? --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 18:43, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

== Armored Mewtwo ==

Hi there! Firstly, I apologize for having created the titular page really sorry for creating this page the other day on the 16th without administrative permission, but don’t worry, it has been deleted.

I wanted to know if I could recreate it? I know that this form is odd as it is more of a costume given to the Pokémon temporarily (at least in the anime and manga), but the form of this Pokémon has been recognized as an alternate form in both games and the TCG. It believe that it would be appropriate to note this as an alternative form. —[[User:ParkerHaley2003|ParkerHaley2003]] ([[User talk:ParkerHaley2003|talk]]) 23:16, 19 November 2022 (UTC) (repost)

== Clone Pokémon Articles ==

Hi, me again!

I also wanted to know if I could add pages for the following: [[Bulbasaurtwo]], [[Squirtletwo]], [[Charmandertwo]], [[Venusaurtwo]], [[Blastoisetwo]], and [[Charizardtwo]]. I would like to do this because they ''are'' different Pokémon rather than a variant (like what Mewtwo is to Mew) and [[Pikachutwo]] has a page.

In addition to this, I would like to add a page for [[Giant Alakazam]], [[Giant Gengar]], and [[Giant Jigglypuff]] because similarly to the Pokémon above, they are different Pokémon with altered designs. Pokémon with these same conditions also have pages (such as [[Crystal Onix]] and [[Pink Butterfree]]), and so I feel these would be appropriate. —[[User:ParkerHaley2003|ParkerHaley2003]] ([[User talk:ParkerHaley2003|talk]]) 23:31, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
:Hi! Unfortunately, I don't really know much about the TV show, but you might have more success asking another admin. I noticed you asked Force Fire, the head of anime-- he'll probably be able to help you better. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 00:01, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

:Welcome to Bulbapedia! You can create/edit your user page when you get autoconfirmed, which you can get by editing a certain amount of articles and being a member for a certain amount of time. Hope that helps! --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 21:05, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

'''Norman''' (Japanese: '''センリ''' ''Senri'') is the father of the {{player}} and the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Petalburg City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Petalburg Gym]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and their [[Generation VI]] remakes [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. He is an [[Type expert|expert]] of {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and hands out the {{Badge|Balance}} to any {{pkmn|Trainer}} who defeats him.

==In the core series==
Norman is also the [[player character]]'s father in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} no matter which gender is selected. The other gender choice (and therefore the [[rival]]) is the child of [[Professor Birch]].

Although he is the first Gym Leader encountered, he refuses to battle until the player has at least four Badges. Before stating this, he first introduces the player to Wally (secondary rival) which is when the Pokémon catching tutorial happens. Once he is beaten, he gives the player the Balance Badge, as well as {{TM|42|Facade}} in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} or {{TM|67|Retaliate}} in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

Norman and his family are originally from [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]]. He, as well as the player, have just moved to [[Hoenn]] so that he could take up the position of Gym Leader. People have come to describe him as someone who "lives for Pokémon".

Norman also provides special items scanned in via [[e-Reader]] to the player.

Norman has known Birch since their school days.<ref>http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-gb/characters/professor-birch</ref> According to the [[Television|TV show]] ''Trouble Talk'', they went to college together.

===Main series===
[[File:Norman anime.png|250px|thumb|Norman in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Norman is the father of {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and the husband of [[Caroline]].

Very early in his Hoenn journey, {{Ash}} arrived with May in Petalburg City in the hope of getting his first Gym battle. In ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', Ash found the Petalburg Gym and met [[Max]], who posed as if he was the Gym Leader. May stopped him and allowed Ash to meet her parents, Caroline and Norman. Norman turned out be to the real [[Petalburg City]] [[Gym Leader]]. Norman used his Pokémon, a {{p|Vigoroth}}, in an exhibition battle against Pikachu, and later to save [[May's Torchic]] from {{TRT}}.

Norman is a good friend of [[Professor Birch]] and was most likely the person to send May to [[Littleroot Town]] to get her first Pokémon. As May did not initially like Pokémon, this seemed to have created some distance between the two. Before Ash knew that Norman was May's father, he commented that it sounded like she knew the Petalburg Gym Leader pretty well, to which she replied, "No, I just wish I did," and became subdued.

In ''[[AG068|A Double Dilemma]]'', Norman appeared in flashbacks and on memorabilia. It was also revealed that he had a large fanbase in [[North Petalburg]].

In ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', when Ash and his friends visited Petalburg City again, May and Max tried to figure out why Norman and Caroline were getting all worked up as Ash tried to save Norman's three Pokémon from Team Rocket. It all turned out that Norman had Nurse Joy set up a special firework display to make fireworks in a form of a {{p|Beautifly}} as a wedding anniversary gift for Caroline. During the episode, Norman showed that he was rather dense, not realizing that Caroline assumed that he was having an affair with Nurse Joy.

Ash had his Gym battle with Norman in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]''. Using his {{AP|Grovyle}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Torkoal}}, Ash defeated Norman's Pokémon. Upset by his father's loss, Max stole the Balance Badge and locked himself up in Norman's greenhouse. Norman was able to calm Max down, and Max gave Ash his {{Badge|Balance}}.

He reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', and ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]''.

In ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'', Caroline revealed that Norman was too busy at the Petalburg Gym, so he could not attend the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] in person.

In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', Norman was watching May competing in the Hoenn Grand Festival on [[television]].

In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', Norman watched Ash competing in the [[Ever Grande Conference]].

He reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!]]'', and in a flashback in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

His final appearances saw him watching May in the [[Wallace Cup]] on television in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''.

|desc={{p|Vigoroth}} was first seen after Norman agreed to have an unofficial {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}} because he had less than three Pokémon at the time. After a tough battle with [[Ash's Pikachu]], Vigoroth managed to defeat him. Later, it helped in destroying one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]] that was attacking the Gym.

In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', Vigoroth was the second Pokémon used by Norman in his official [[Gym]] battle with Ash. It managed to easily defeat {{AP|Torkoal}} before once again facing Pikachu. This time, Pikachu was able to defeat Vigoroth, but ended up exhausting all of his own energy as well in the process, resulting in a double knockout.

It reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG057|Going for a Spinda]]'', ''[[AG068|A Double Dilemma]]'', and the Japanese version of ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', and made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', where it was watching May competing in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] on [[television]].

{{spoilers}}
====History====
====={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Norman is the father of {{adv|Ruby}} and the newly appointed Leader of the Petalburg Gym. On Ruby's 11th birthday, Norman had his wife and son move to Hoenn to live in Littleroot Town. Due to Norman's dislike of his son partaking in Pokémon Contests, Ruby held a grudge against his father. Ruby decided to run away and prove to his father the superiority of [[Pokémon Contest]]s to battling. As he left, he took the Running Shoes his father gave him as a birthday present. Upon arriving at Petalburg City, Ruby attempted to avoid being spotted by Norman. His attempts led him to meeting {{adv|Wally}}, a sickly boy attempting to capture his first Pokémon. Wally asks Norman if he will teach him how to capture Pokémon as he had previously requested. He refuses due to Wally neglecting to inform Norman about his illness. Norman senses Ruby's presence, but when his attempt to get him to come out fails, he just passes it off as another wild Pokémon and leaves.

Norman's search leads him to the [[Weather Institute]], where he attacks Ruby, demanding to know why he ran away from home. Ruby considers running away, but he decides to stay and fight in order to prove to his father how determined he is. Norman easily gains the upper hand due to teaching Ruby all he knows about fighting, but Ruby turns the tide by using new tactics with the Pokémon he caught on his journey. The battle causes the worn-out institute to break apart, leaving Ruby and Norman left dangling above shrapnel that fell from their battle. With the Running Shoes he got as a gift from Norman, Ruby manages to save the both of them, but is left exhausted and defeated. Norman attempts to continue their battle, but he is stopped by fellow Gym Leader [[Winona]]. Winona tells Norman that he is in trouble for leaving his Gym despite challengers wanting to battle. Norman grudgingly obeys Winona's command to come with her. Before he leaves, Norman tells Ruby that he accepts his desire to partake in Pokémon Contests despite his own personal dislike of them. He demands that in return, Ruby should not return home until he has fully accomplished his goals.

[[File:Norman ORAS chapter.png|thumb|left|140px|Norman in the thirteenth chapter]]
Later, Norman and the other Gym Leaders are called by [[Flannery]] to meet in [[Fortree City]]. They have a discussion on [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] about whether or not one of the teams is evil and the other is good. Norman refuses to pick a side out of disinterest and begins to leave. Winona reminds him that as one of the Gym Leaders chosen by the Pokémon Association, he has to comply with the others. Norman refuses and continues leaving, but is stopped by [[Wattson]]. Wattson suggests that Norman use his strength to help in the upcoming Hoenn crisis and apologizes for the others' behavior due to their lack of knowledge about his past with the Pokémon Association. Norman politely tells Wattson to stop talking and heads off.

When {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Instead of helping stop the Pokémon from causing havoc, Norman decides to fulfill Wally's request and takes him to the [[Sky Pillar]] for training. After several days of training, Wally becomes much stronger from climbing the tower and battling the wild Pokémon inside. As they continue to train, Norman gets a call from [[Scott]], who informs him that Ruby was chosen to be the wielder of the [[Red Orb]] used to control Groudon. This makes Norman decide to team up with Wally to awaken the third Legendary Pokémon that can stop Groudon and Kyogre, {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}. Upon succeeding, Norman leaves Wally behind and flies off on Rayquaza to [[Sootopolis City]].

When Norman arrives, Ruby is fighting Groudon and Kyogre alone with both the Red and [[Blue Orb]]s in hand. Together, they use [[Colored orbs|the orbs]] in conjunction with Rayquaza to send Groudon and Kyogre away to return to their long slumber. The strain of having controlled Rayquaza for too long causes Norman to collapse and begin dying. In his last breath, Norman reveals that five years ago, Ruby's battle with a [[Zinnia's Salamence|Salamence]] caused it to go berserk and accidentally free the Rayquaza captured by the Pokémon Association. Not wanting his son to take the blame, Norman lied to the association and put the fault on himself. The Association Director barred Norman from taking the Gym Leader test for five years and ordered him to find Rayquaza. Norman was forced to distance himself from his family during that time, which eventually led to Ruby becoming the way he is now. He then dies in Ruby's arms, much to the horror of his son. When [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] come out of hiding to attack the exhausted Ruby, they decide to burn Norman's corpse to make sure he won't be able to return to stop their plans again.

Once Archie and Maxie were defeated, Ruby used his {{p|Celebi}} to revive all the people that were killed in the final battle. Norman is brought back to life thanks to Celebi's [[time travel]] abilities. Afterward, Norman celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}} for their assistance in the battle. Sapphire immediately challenged Norman to a Gym battle, which she managed to win and earn the Balance Badge.

====={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Norman appears at [[Meteor Falls]]. He meets with the {{OBP|Elder|Meteor Village}} that lives there in hopes of getting information about Rayquaza again. There, he meets with Ruby and {{adv|Emerald}}, who had come there for the same reason. With the old woman's help, Norman determines the Rayquaza may be returning to the location where it was held captive by the Pokémon Association. With {{p|Hoopa}}'s rings, Norman and Ruby head to Johto.

Upon arriving in Goldenrod City, Norman and Ruby enter the now-abandoned Pokémon Association research facility. After a search through the facility's data files, Norman comes across video footage of the moment where Rayquaza was first encountered at the [[Embedded Tower]]. Before they can witness Rayquaza's capture, the video cuts off. Ruby decides that if Rayquaza was found at {{rt|47|Johto}}, then it may have gone there instead of Goldenrod. Norman reveals that he asked Emerald to give him the [[Jade Orb|Green Orb]] core shortly before they entered Hoopa's ring. He reveals the core was originally created by the Association in order to create an artificial Green Orb capable of controlling Rayquaza, as it didn't have an orb like Groudon or Kyogre. When Rayquaza escaped its captivity, the project was scrapped and the core was thrown away before being completed, where it eventually ended up in Emerald's hands. Norman uses a machine to increase the core's purity, increasing its strength and turning it a shade of jade.

Just as the process is completed, Norman and Ruby are shocked to see that Rayquaza has appeared in the skies. They find Rayquaza feeding on shards of the meteoroid, which have begun falling onto Johto as well. They take to the skies in order to confront Rayquaza and capture it. During the battle, Rayquaza manages to capture Ruby and blocks Norman's attempt to rescue his son. Ruby takes the opportunity to use the scroll he took from [[Zinnia]] in order to teach Rayquaza {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, which will allow it to destroy the meteoroid. When Rayquaza continues attacking Ruby, Norman attempts to control it with the Green Orb core, only for it to fail. Ruby tells Norman to call Emerald and ask Hoopa to bring them back to Hoenn, as he plans on destroying the meteoroid with Sapphire.

After Hoopa opens the path to the Meteor Village, Ruby uses the Jade Orb core to lead Rayquaza back to Hoenn with Norman. When it sees Kyogre and Groudon through the ring, Rayquaza goes berserk and begins attacking the two. Rayquaza rushes towards the ring to confront Kyogre and Groudon, causing Norman to fall off and be left behind. It is later revealed by {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} that Norman would assist the combined efforts of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]] to stop the meteoroid.

{{p|Rayquaza}} is an ancient Legendary Pokémon related to {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}. It was captured by the Pokémon Association so that they may find a way to control it so that its powers could be used to stop Groudon and Kyogre when they would one day awaken again. Due to a {{p|Salamence}} that went out of control from a previous battle with {{adv|Ruby}}, Rayquaza broke free and Norman was ordered to search for it again. Five years later, Norman teamed up with Wally and awakened Rayquaza on the Sky Pillar. Norman took Rayquaza and used it to stop Groudon and Kyogre with Ruby's help. The strain of controlling Rayquaza without an orb took too much strain on Norman, who proceeded to die shortly afterward. Angered that it was controlled, Rayquaza flew off to parts unknown.}}

Norman appears in ''[[PMRS04|There's Someone More Important Than Clefairy?!]]''. Unlike other media, Norman does not have any known relatives.

When {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon visit the [[Petalburg Gym]] after getting startled by a Poké Ball that flew from there, they notice Norman drinking and feeling down. Norman revealed to the group as the one who threw the Poké Balls. He then revealed that he felt sad since his {{p|Slakoth}} refused to partake in any battles. Norman takes out a chart and shows it to Red and his Pokémon that the {{Badge|Balance}} is stuck inside Slakoth. After {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} took a nap, Norman explained to Red and his Pokémon that Slakoth doesn't like it when someone is lazier than it. Norman then watched as Clefairy went inside Slakoth to get the Balance Badge. After retrieving it, Norman demanded the group to return the badge to him but Clefairy refused. Afterwards, he became furious about this and chased after Red and his Pokémon since Clefairy refused to return the badge to Norman.

Clefairy was able to go into Slakoth's body and get the Balance Badge out of there.
