Pokémon controversies

2026-07-10T00:58:20Z

Just a lurker: /* Other core series luck-based mechanics */ The Roster Ranch is basically a gambling-esque mechanic.

{{PA}}
There have been numerous '''controversies''' regarding the [[Pokémon]] franchise in its various forms and media.

==Animal cruelty==
In the past, several animal rights groups have tried to ban Pokémon, claiming that Pokémon battles closely resemble {{wp|cockfight}}s. This aspect of the controversy was touched upon in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

Upon the release of {{B2W2}}, animal rights activist group {{wp|People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals}} (PETA) released a mock game titled "Pokémon Black and Blue", in which the player controls battered and bruised Pokémon to attack human enemies. PETA claims that the way the Pokémon are "stuffed" into [[Poké Ball]]s is similar to how circus elephants are chained inside railroad carts. Nintendo responded to this by stating, "Nintendo and The Pokémon Company take the inappropriate use of our products and intellectual property seriously."<ref>[http://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack Nintendo responds to PETA’s Pokemon attack | canada.com] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180911211240/https://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack archived copy] )</ref> Around the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]], PETA released another mock game called "Pokémon Red, White, and Blue" that features Nintendo's claimed association with {{wp|McDonald's}} and also makes fun of the frequent release of sister games.

==Violence==
===Animation===
[[File:Gun.png|thumb|250px|[[Kaiser]] pointing his [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|revolver]] at {{Ash}}]]
Although [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] allowed for some cartoon violence in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, the following episodes contain scenes that were deemed "too violent", and thus were cut from the English broadcast:
* ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'': {{an|Misty}} slaps {{Ash}} after he tells her he's okay, presumably because of his apparent lack of care for {{AP|Pikachu}}.
* ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'': Misty slaps Ash due to his recklessness in sending out {{AP|Caterpie}} to battle a {{AP|Pidgeotto}}.
* ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'': Misty strikes {{an|Brock}} with a log because he says "To be continued..." rather than beginning the episode.
* [[EP035]]: Safari Zone Warden [[Kaiser]] repeatedly threatens Ash and the group with a [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|revolver]], and also fires at {{TRT}} when they trespass onto the {{safari|Kanto}} grounds, leading to the entire episode being [[banned episodes|banned]] outside of Asia.
* ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'': Shots of Ash getting struck by baseballs are replaced with impact animations.
* ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'': There are two separate shots of Poliwrath violently slapping [[Jessie]]; in one of those shots, she has red spots on her cheeks from Poliwrath's intense slapping. Both of these shots were cut from the broadcast version and [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#Box sets|first US home video release]] and replaced with an impact animation. The version streamed on Pokémon TV and the [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#The Complete Collection|second US home video release]], however, leaves the shots in this episode intact.
* ''[[AG003|There's No Place Like Hoenn]]'': Two separate scenes show [[James]]'s head and Max on fire due to {{TP|May|Torchic}}'s {{m|Ember}} attack.
* ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'': A {{p|Carvanha}} hits Ash in the back of the head.
Scenes like these are common in Japanese animation, and are intended for comic relief purposes. They are similar to scenes in Western animation such as ''{{wp|Looney Tunes}}'' and ''{{wp|Tom and Jerry}}'', where characters get hit by extremely heavy objects and are completely fine afterwards.

==Racism==
===Jynx===
[[File:124Jynx RG.png|thumb|left|x200px|{{p|Jynx}}'s original design]]
[[File:0124Jynx.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Jynx}}'s current design]]
Following the American airing of ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' in 1999, {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, an African-American cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}} was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans, due to the Pokémon's black skin and oversized facial features, which were typical in minstrel shows. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in the children's book ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', as well as calling Jynx "a dead ringer for an obese {{wp|Drag Queen}}", and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, another character who is also potentially offensive in his design. Weatherford also complained of Jynx having "cleavage" despite the character not ever having been depicted with any.<ref>Weatherford, Carole Boston (January 5, 2000) [https://web.archive.org/web/20080925070143/http://hk.geocities.com/hksar_dolphin/cbw1.htm Politically Incorrect Pokémon]</ref>

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. Following the release of ''Holiday Hi-Jynx'', the original design of Jynx continued to be featured in several later episodes of the {{pkmn|animated series}}. Its final appearance in this design in the English dub was ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', while [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] decided to cut its later, minor appearances in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', and ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. [[EP250]], which heavily features Jynx, was not aired outside of Asia at all.

Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, starting with the international releases of {{g|Gold and Silver}} and being included in all versions of the games from [[Generation III]]-onwards. This change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the animated series starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx was also recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}. Jynx's skin was also recolored to purple when ''Holiday Hi-Jynx'' finally saw a re-airing in Japan in 2012; nevertheless, the episode is still banned in the US. The [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga published between 2005 and 2006 in English by [[Chuang Yi]] didn't change her color, and thus her original black design appears. The [[Virtual Console]] versions of [[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version]], {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} also changed Jynx's color.

Some have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|gyaru}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of gyaru fashion, which was omnipresent in cities like Shibuya around the 1970s to 1990s. While some attribute it more specifically to {{wp|ganguro}}, this particular hypothesis has been criticized due to the timeline of ganguro fashion not matching up with the development of [[Pokémon games]].<ref>[[n:On the Origin of Species: Jynx|On the Origin of Species: Jynx]]</ref> Another theory is that Jynx is based on the Nordic goddess {{wp|Hel}}, who was often depicted as having a face half white-half black and who ruled {{wp|Niflheim}}, primarily depicted as a land of primordial ice and cold. Some fans say this is supported by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}. It has also been stated that Jynx is based on {{wp|Yama-uba}}, the mountain Crone.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8X3l_Tt8VE Game Theory: Pokemon Racism, Jynx Justified]</ref>

===Lenora===
[[File:BW014 comparison.png|thumb|200px|The change in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
The [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nacrene City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Lenora]], also brought up concerns of racism. Lenora's original artwork, as well as her in-game sprites, depict her wearing a large apron. Concerns arose that people outside of Japan would connect Lenora to the {{wp|Mammy stereotype}}. Similar to Lenora, the mammy is often depicted as a dark-skinned woman who wears a handkerchief on her head and an apron. Because of the similarity, Lenora's artwork was changed, from her wearing the apron to her having it slung over her shoulder like a cape. Despite this, Lenora's in-game sprites were not altered in the international releases of Pokémon Black and White or {{B2W2}}.

In the original version of ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', Lenora was depicted wearing her apron. When the English dub aired, her apron was removed completely.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Lenora is depicted with the apron over her shoulder in the first panel she appears in and she is not shown with it after that. In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, she is not depicted with an apron at all.

In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Lenora}} is not depicted with an apron.
{{-}}

==Four-fingered hands==
In [[Generation I]], many Pokémon were depicted with four fingers in their sprites and artwork. Later on, most of these Pokémon had one finger added or removed to give them three or five fingers instead. These Pokémon include {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Golem}}, {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Snorlax}}. {{p|Poliwhirl}} also originally had four fingers, but instead of having one added or removed, it was later depicted with mitten-like gloves. The only Pokémon that still retains four fingers is {{p|Charmander}}, though this [[Charmander (Pokémon)#Design variations|differs between media]].

The likely reason for this is because a four-fingered hand resembles a practice associated with the {{wp|Yakuza}} called {{wp|yubitsume}}, where a member cuts off a finger to atone for a mistake.<ref group="Note">Per Jon Sahagian of [[PokéBeach]], [https://twitter.com/DrLavaYT/status/1161850444693426177 The Pokémon Company officials stated that parents complained about this]: ''“I noted this on PokeBeach years ago after speaking to a TPC official in Japan, but Mr. Mime gained an extra finger because parents complained about four fingers being associated with gangs.”''</ref> It also evokes associations with the {{wp|burakumin}}, a historically marginalized class often linked to occupations such as butchering or execution. Additionally, in {{wp|Sinosphere|Sinospheric cultures}}, the number {{wp|tetraphobia|four is considered unlucky}} because it sounds similar to the word for "death".

==Gambling==
{{cleanup|section|lots of unverified information; overuse of opinionated language and {{wp|MOS:WEASEL|weasel words}} without citations from reputable, unbiased sources}}
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Game Corner.png|thumb|right|The [[Goldenrod Game Corner]] in the Western release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
Over the years, there has been a growing distaste towards gambling and the exposure of it to minors.{{specify|according to whom?}} Due to the unpredictable "risk-it-all" nature of the activity and the high impressionability of youths, more and more people have voiced their opposition towards allowing minors to partake in gambling and associated games (such as slot machines or poker), with simulated gambling in video games falling under particular scrutiny.{{specify|according to whom?}} As a result, the Pan-European Game Information ({{wp|PEGI}}) organization implemented stricter guidelines that limited simulated gambling first to older-skewing video games, starting in 2009, then eventually to adult-oriented games, starting in 2020,<ref>[https://gameworldobserver.com/2021/09/01/new-pegi-rating-criteria-labels-all-games-that-teach-or-encourage-gambling-18 New PEGI rating criteria labels all games that teach or encourage gambling 18+ | Game World Observer]</ref> and all games released in Europe featuring simulated gambling mechanics have been rated accordingly.{{fact}} While such restrictions are absent in other territories, many nations (the United States in particular) perceive gambling mechanics in video games as socially unacceptable,{{specify|according to whom?}} leading to the Pokémon games slowly phasing the concept out from [[Generation III]] onwards.

===Trainer class===
The English-language releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the Gambler Trainer class to "{{tc|PI|Gamer}}" and removed gambling references from their dialogue. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed the class once more to "{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}", though the references to gambling were kept.

===Game Corner===
{{main|Game Corner}}
In South Korea, the releases of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} replaced the [[slot machine]]s in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] with non-playable [[Slot machine#Korean Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum / European Platinum|game machines]]. These changes were later copied to the releases of Pokémon Platinum in Europe as a result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar] ([https://archive.today/mRcAt archived copy])</ref> This change has been greatly criticized by European players, who felt that it completely defeated the purpose and concept of the Game Corner.

All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]]. In this minigame, {{OBP|Coin|Game Corner}}s are not wagered against a win or a loss but instead given out for completing a level. This change removed the ability to buy coins, making Voltorb Flip the only way to obtain them.

From [[Generation V]] onward, the core series games no longer feature a playable Game Corner. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down; the owner will instead provide the player with three dolls, originally obtained from an [[Non-player character|NPC]] inside the Game Corner. In {{LGPE}}, the [[Celadon Game Corner]] remains, due to its importance as the location of the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], but the slot machines have been replaced with non-playable arcade machines referencing other Pokémon games. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] was removed, and is replaced by the Metronome Style Shop, a clothing store that serves as a means for the player character to change outfits and hairstyles.

In the [[Virtual Console]] re-releases of the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games, however, the Game Corner was left completely untouched, although the games did receive the higher-than-usual age rating of twelve and up by PEGI (compared to all other contemporary core series titles, which PEGI gave a rating of seven and up).

===Other core series luck-based mechanics===
There are other gambling-esque methods that exist in later games, such as the [[Loto-ID]], the [[Cram-o-matic]], and the [[Item Printer]]. However, these methods do not require any money to try out, and provide the player with items instead of money, the only luck-based factor being the rarity of the obtained item. The [[Roster Ranch]] in Pokémon Champions is similar; however, instead of in-game money or items, a random assortment of Pokémon with random stats, genders, natures, abilities, moves, possible [[mark]], being potentially shiny, and being in a random Poké Ball type are offered.

===Eggs in Pokémon GO===
{{pkmn|Egg}}s in [[Pokémon GO]] have been accused of being {{wp|loot boxes}}, which is a form of gambling.<ref>https://screenrant.com/pokemon-go-eggs-loot-boxes-gambling-money-incubator/</ref>

===TCG in Saudi Arabia===
{{main|Pokémon in the Arab world|section=Fatwa against the franchise}}
In {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] was prohibited on March 26, 2001 per the {{wp|fatwā}} No. 21,758, because it "promoted gambling and Zionism".<ref>[https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=81345&page=1/ ''Saudi Issues 'Fatwa' Against Pokemon''] ABC News. March 26, 2001</ref> With the release of [[Pokémon GO]] in 2016, the ruling was revisited and renewed by the General Secretariat of {{wp|Council_of_Senior_Scholars_(Saudi_Arabia)|Council of Senior Scholars}}. <ref>[https://www.arabnews.com/node/956681/saudi-arabia/ ''Pokémon Go ‘haram’''] Arab News. July 20, 2016</ref>

==Localization controversies==

===Unification of Chinese localizations===
In 2016, many of the localized names in the Chinese translation were changed so that they would be consistent across the Chinese-speaking world. This was met with backlash in {{pmin|Hong Kong}}, as the names were largely based on the {{wp|Mandarin}} pronunciations rather than the {{wp|Cantonese}} that is spoken in Hong Kong.<ref>[http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-36414978 BBC: Why the plan to rename Pikachu has made Hong Kong angry]</ref> The controversy was bolstered by political tensions between Hong Kong and mainland China, leading to a group called {{wp|Civic Passion}} protesting outside of the Japanese consulate.<ref>[https://www.csmonitor.com/Technology/2016/0531/Pokemon-protests-what-they-tell-us-about-Hong-Kong-China-relations Christian Science Monitor: Pokémon protests: what they tell us about Hong Kong-China relations]</ref>

===Latin American Spanish language announcement===
The [[Pokémon Presents]] broadcast on [[Pokémon Day]] 2025 announced the addition of {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American Spanish}} language support for [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] and [[Pokémon Champions]]. This announcement caused significant backlash among {{pmin|Brazil}}ian Pokémon fans, who had been asking for Portuguese language support in the [[core series]] Pokémon games for over a decade. The first major campaign began around the release of Pokémon X and Y in 2013,<ref>[https://www.change.org/p/pok%C3%A9mon-x-e-y-em-portugu%C3%AAs Pokémon X and Y in Portuguese | Change.org]</ref> and a subsequent campaign following the announcement of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in 2022 got international support, as well as from a few Brazilian celebrities.<ref>[https://ge.globo.com/esports/pokemon/noticia/2022/03/03/pokemon-em-portugues-juliette-e-casimiro-fazem-apelo-entenda.ghtml Pokémon in Portuguese support from celebrities and international community | ge]</ref> This campaign even reached the Top 10 trending topics on Twitter worldwide.<ref>[https://twitter.com/danielreen/status/1499066037614039042 Tweet on Pokémon in Portuguese campaign reaching Top 10 global Trending Topics]</ref> A few months later, TPCi released a statement in both Brazilian Portuguese<ref>[https://www.nintendoblast.com.br/2022/04/the-pokemon-company-comenta-localizacao-em-portugues-em-pokemon-scarlet-violet-switch.html The Pokémon Company International responds about Portuguese localization in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet | Nintendo Blast]</ref> and Latin American Spanish,<ref>[https://www.anmtvla.com/2022/04/the-pokemon-company-rompe-el-silencio.html The Pokémon Company International responds about Latin American Spanish localization in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet | ANMTV]</ref> which had a similar campaign going on at around the same time, announcing they were planning on the right time to add language support in Latin America, leading fans to believe both languages would be added together in a future game.

The announcement videos in this segment of Pokémon Presents prominently featured footage from the 2025 Latin America {{DL|Play! Pokémon|International Championships}} held in São Paulo, Brazil. These videos showcased many Brazilians, including the {{wp|Vai-Vai}} samba school, which performed at the event's opening, and employees from {{wp|Copag}}, the official distributor and event organizer for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in Brazil. Several posters and products in Brazilian Portuguese were also featured.<ref>[https://x.com/Reenlsober/status/1895245034762715580 Tweet complaining about Portuguese text at a Brazilian event while promoting Latin American Spanish support]</ref> This was also the first time a Pokémon Presents was localized to Brazilian Portuguese. Despite all of this, there was no mention of Brazil or Portuguese language support. Tomás Cortijo, the presenter for the segment, emphasized that millions of fans would now enjoy the games in their native language and that it's the perfect time to be a Pokémon fan regardless of where you are, including Latin America, seemingly ignoring the fact that this region is composed of approximately 30% Brazilians,<ref>[https://censo2022.ibge.gov.br/panorama/ Population of Brazil according to the 2022 Census | IBGE]</ref><ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/latin-america-and-the-caribbean-population/ Population of Latin America | Worldometer]</ref> who still lack proper language support in the core series games.

The way the announcement was presented led to widespread frustration among fans and even Pokémon and Nintendo content creators from Brazil, some of them believing this to be an act of xenophobia due to using Brazilians as justification for the inclusion of a foreign language not spoken in Brazil.<ref>[https://twitter.com/pipoolimpio/status/1895595386787795411 Tweet about xenophobia on Pokémon Presents]</ref> This dissatisfaction became the most discussed topic on Pokémon's social media platforms in the country, with many fans expressing their frustration over the omission of Portuguese. Some fans even took more extreme measures, targeting Cortijo's social media accounts,<ref>[https://twitter.com/rodrigocoelhoc/status/1895143683088855469 Tweet about targeting Tomás Cortijo personal accounts]</ref> which led him to set his Instagram account to private and remove several comments from his LinkedIn posts in response to the backlash he was receiving. Unlike their Latin American Spanish counterpart, Nintendo Brazil did not issue any official posts about the Pokémon Presents, despite both usually posting similar content at the same time, suggesting that they were aware of the backlash.

The discontentment got worse on March 1, 2025, when the prices of all Pokémon games on the Nintendo Switch increased by 17% on the Brazilian Nintendo eShop.<ref>[https://universonintendo.com/brasil-nintendo-eleva-preco-de-jogos-digitais-em-gift-cards-preco-antigo-ainda-esta-disponivel-na-eshop/ Nintendo raises prices of its digital games published in Brazil | Universo Nintendo]</ref> This further decreased the accessibility of Pokémon core series games in the country, which was already limited by the lack of Portuguese language support.

==Religion==
===Christianity===
====Satanism====
Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to {{wp|Satanism}}. The following is a summarized list of claims:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.<ref name="SToP">[http://www.withoneaccord.org/assets/images/freedownloads/StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf Straight Talk on Pokemon - StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf]</ref><ref>[https://gizmodo.com/isis-will-use-pokemon-go-to-murder-innocent-christians-1783680507 ISIS Will Use Pokémon Go to Murder Innocent Christians and Spawn Demons (Says Radio Host Pastor)]</ref>

*Pokémon [[Evolution]] has often been criticized due to sharing the name with the {{wp|Evolution|scientific theory of evolution}} which fundamentalist creationists usually reject, although the phenomenon in Pokémon is closer to insect {{wp|metamorphosis}} or mammalian puberty.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=o7bsCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT38 Sociology of Religion for Generations X and Y - Adam Possamai - Google Books]</ref>
**Certain Pokémon Evolutions require [[Evolution stone]]s, which are often seen as magical.<ref name="SToP" />
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type|Psychic}}s and {{type|Ghost}}s.<ref>[http://www.christiananswers.net/spotlight/games/2000/pokemon.html POKÉMON | a game review from Christian Spotlight]</ref><ref>[https://www.probe.org/pokemon/ Pokemon - A Christian Assessment]</ref><ref>[http://www1.cbn.com/onlinediscipleship/pok%26eacute%3Bmon%2C-harry-potter%2C-and-the-magic-of-story Pokémon, Harry Potter, and the Magic of Story | CBN.com]</ref>
*Many Pokémon inherently involve East Asian spiritualism or mysticism, due to the franchise originating in Japan. Some Christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.<ref>[http://wildhunt.org/2016/07/pokemon-and-the-great-occult-scare.html Pokémon and the Great Occult Scare | The Wild Hunt]</ref><ref>[http://sureword.faithweb.com/pokemon.html Pokemon - Just Another Fad?]</ref>

*Pokémon causes homosexuality; the close relationship between the characters Ash and Brock was "a sign of the cartoon’s gay agenda".<ref>[http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2015/04/televangelist-creflo-dollar-claims-pokemon-causes-homosexuality/ Televangelist Creflo Dollar claims Pokemon causes homosexuality]</ref><ref>[http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16696.php GayNZ.com Pokemon 'turned teens gay' - preacher] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150709051450/http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16696.php archived copy])</ref>

In response to these claims, the {{wp|Vatican City}}-based {{wp|TV2000|Sat 2000}} broadcast public approval of Pokémon in April 2000, stating that the games did not have "any harmful moral side effects" and was based on "ties of intense friendship".<ref>[http://nypost.com/2000/04/21/pokemon-earns-papal-blessing/ POKEMON EARNS PAPAL BLESSING | New York Post] ([https://archive.today/5AVJL archived copy])</ref>

===Islam===
[[File:Egyptian Newspaper Poké-fatwa smear-campaign.jpg|200x200px|thumb|The Poké-fatwa smear campaign reaching the headline page of an Egyptian newspaper on April 15, 2001. Title reads: It is forbidden for Muslims to interact with the Pokémon game.]]

On March 15, 2001, an anonymous user online claiming to be located in {{wp|Qatif}}, {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, posted a forum thread on the then big Arabic message-board site '''Montada''', making questionable claims of the [[Pokémon]] franchise being tied to {{wp|Darwinism}}, {{wp|Zionism}}, and {{wp|Satanism}}.

The post contained the following fabricated evidence of the character's names having anti-Islamic meanings and Zionist undertones when translated in English:
* [[Pokémon]] meaning '''I am a Jew'''.
* {{p|Pikachu}} meaning '''Be a Jew'''.
* {{p|Charmander}} meaning '''God is weak'''.
* {{p|Magikarp}} (misspelled as ''{{p|Magmar}}'') meaning '''God is stupid'''.
* {{p|Growlithe}} meaning '''God is lazy'''.

The following months would see those questionable claims get spread around by either word-of-mouth or anonymous printings of those very misleading rumors that originated off of that forum, which spiraled into a perplexing social smear campaign movement that succeeded in convincing a number of Arabic nations to outright ban and limit the presence of the Pokémon franchise, such as in {{wp|Egypt}}, where Mufti ''Nasser Fareed Wasel'' declared a ban on remotely interacting with any of its content on April 6, 2001.

Some outspoken, fundamentalist Muslims claimed that Pokémon is a Jewish conspiracy intended to get Muslim children to renounce their faith.<ref>[http://www.cairoscene.com/LifeStyle/10-Egyptian-Conspiracy-Theories 10 Egyptian Conspiracy Theories]</ref><ref>[http://articles.latimes.com/2001/apr/24/news/mn-54861 Arabs See Jewish Conspiracy in Pokemon - latimes]</ref><ref>[http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html ADL denounces claim by Muslim leaders that Pokemon game is “Jewish Conspiracy" - Press Release] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160724034549/http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/saddam-hussein-tried-ban-pokemon-7732176 Saddam Hussein tried to ban POKEMON in Iraq for an utterly bizarre reason - Mirror Online]</ref> These same groups claimed that the word "Pokémon" means "I am Jewish", with the claimers and their followers generally unaware of the franchise's Japanese origin. The "Evolution vs. Creationism" conflict was also commonly brought up.<ref>[http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/691674/Saudi-Arabia-fatwa-Pokemon-GO-un-islamic-blasphemous-theory-of-natural-evolution Saudi Arabia issues fatwa against POKÉMON for being ‘un-Islamic’ and ‘blasphemous' | World | News | Express.co.uk]</ref><ref>[https://www.memri.org/tv/dubai-family-consultant-dr-khalifa-al-makhrazi-pok%C3%A9mon-go-prohibited-spreads-darwinism Dubai Family Consultant Dr. Khalifa Al-Makhrazi: Pokemon Go Is Prohibited, Spreads Darwinism | MEMRI]</ref><ref>[http://www.alifta.net/Fatawa/FatawaChapters.aspx?languagename=en&View=Page&PageID=10338&PageNo=1&BookID=7 Fatwas of the Permanent Committee]</ref>

In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise. It claimed that the franchise promoted {{wp|Zionism}} by displaying a six-pointed star that resembles the {{wp|Star of David}} as well as other religious symbols such as crosses they associated with {{wp|Christianity}} and triangles they associated with {{wp|Freemasonry}} in the TCG and encouraged gambling in the games due to the inclusion of gambling elements, which is in violation of {{wp|Islam|Muslim}} doctrine.<ref>[http://www.theescapist.com/pokemon13.htm The Escapist - Archive - Saudi Bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/wPWh6 archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1243307.stm BBC News | MIDDLE EAST | Saudi Arabia bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/9Hni1 archived copy])</ref>

[[File:Jordanian newspaper caricature.jpg|250px|thumb|Caricature by Jordanian catoonist {{wp|Emad Hajjaj}}]]
High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1258633.stm BBC News | Middle East | Qatari religious leader bans Pokemon]</ref><ref>Peterson, Mark Allen. 'Anthropology & Mass Communication: Media and Myth in the New Millennium'. 2003. Print.</ref>

Despite the initial banning, which quickly wiped away [[Pokémon merchandise]], especially the card game, from markets in Saudi Arabia, Pokémon video games quickly returned to be sold normally, but under much less demand from local consumers. Some Pokémon merchandise, such as the {{OBP|Expedition Base Set|TCG}}, reappeared in certain stores a few years later, but newer sets were never brought. Games from [[Generation III]] on seem completely unaffected by the ban.

====Animation====
In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a Team Rocket fantasy involved [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s raising their hands in a manner somewhat similar to the {{wp|Nazi salute|Hitler salute}}. It was edited out in the English dub of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, with the Grunts no longer raising their hands. Despite this, {{MTR}}'s arm remains unedited in the dub.

====Koga's Ninja Trick====
In 1999, the Jewish civil rights group {{wp|Anti-Defamation League}} took issue with [[Nintendo]]'s use of a ''manji'' ({{wp|swastika}}) in the original Japanese print of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}} from Challenge from the Darkness, because of the symbol's strong association with the German Nazi Party insignia in the {{wp|Western world}}, which they appropriated from the manji in 1920.<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickSwastikaOrigin>[https://archive.is/Klauq Article from the Holocaust Encylopedia about the history of the Swastika.]</ref> This was a sentiment echoed by Jewish parent Myla Specht, who said "We thought there had to be something we could do because it can be terrible for children."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS>[https://archive.is/M25KR Article quoting the situation with Koga's Ninja Trick in the United States.]</ref>

<gallery>
KogaNinjaTrickChallengeFromTheDarkness.png|Original Japanese print

</gallery>

Response to criticism was mixed. Nintendo of America announced that the card featuring the artwork was to be discontinued in all territories<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> even though no English copies of the cards were printed, as the complaints originated from American children receiving the card in imported packs. They also recognized that there was no ill-intent behind the manji's inclusion from "the card's Japanese creators",<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> though the original illustrator, [[Sumiyoshi Kizuki]], has never publicly commented on the topic.

Kenneth Jacobson, a spokesperson for the Anti-Defamation League, recognized Nintendo's sensitivity to the feelings of Jews and others to whom the swastika may offend. Conversely, Steve Weisman, who was upset after hearing that ten-year-old children were finding the cards from imported packs, said that Nintendo should do more, saying "maybe [including] a contribution to a Holocaust group. The whole premise of the game is kids having fun. This reminded people of 6 million deaths."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> Larry Rosensweig, a Jewish director at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, claimed that opposition to the manji symbol was "misplaced indignation", bringing up the fact that the manji had "been used throughout Asia for thousands of years and has nothing whatsoever to do with the Nazis or anti-Semitism", saying "there are plenty of things out there that people should be offended about."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref>

In the resale market, the original print of Koga's Ninja Trick featuring the manji is often over twenty times more valuable when compared to its reprinted counterpart, even in Japanese markets.<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickPrice>[https://archive.is/4p4V6 Tweet showing a 20x price difference between both prints of Koga's Ninja Trick.]</ref> Other cards that directly reference Nazism, such as {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Secret Mission|118}}, drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], which features the real-life map of German-occupied Poland during World War II, have not been changed in a similar manner, despite the sensitive subject material.

====Registeel====
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. In the Japanese, Korean, and English releases, Registeel's arm is extended. In non-English European versions an altered sprite is used, depicting it with both of its arms down, presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Roman salute}}, infamously {{wp|Nazi salute|used}} by (and therefore commonly associated with) the German {{wp|Nazism|Nazi Party}}. In all versions of {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the revised sprite is used.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, if the player shows the [[Yuichi Ueda|Game Director]] at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] a Pokémon [[game of origin|originating]] from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, he gives them the [[Diploma|Time Travel Award]], featuring the Pokémon's original sprite from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Prior to v1.1.3, this award would use the original Japanese Pokémon Diamond and Pearl sprite for Registeel, although this award was not obtainable until [[Pokémon HOME]] support was added in v1.1.3 anyway; in v1.1.3, Registeel's sprite was replaced with the revised sprite used in Pokémon Platinum.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1473462097489104902</ref>

==Media-specific controversies==
===Pokémon Shock incident===
[[EP038|An episode]] of {{aniseries|PTS}} broadcast in December 1997 on Japanese television induced {{wp|Photosensitive epilepsy|photosensitive}} {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s in a substantial number of Japanese viewers, many of which required medical assistance. As a result, {{DL|Banned episodes|Banned episodes internationally|the episode was not broadcast overseas and never shown in Japan again}}, and the incident caused the {{pkmn|animated series}} to go into a temporary hiatus. Every Pokémon episode that aired until this episode, including [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|the opening]], was edited by lighting certain scenes, removing or changing fast-flashing scenes and more. The original version of the episodes have never been shown again, except for when the next episode preview for [[EP037]] was mistakenly retained on [[Hulu|Hulu Japan]]. For this, Pokémon currently holds the {{wp|Guinness World Records|Guinness Book World Record}} for the most photosensitive epileptic seizures caused by a TV show.

===Pokémon GO===
The sudden enormous popularity of [[Pokémon GO]] resulted in many controversies worldwide. Numerous organizations and companies complained about the spawning of Pokémon at places such as Holocaust and 9/11 memorials,<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/07/12/holocaust-museum-auschwitz-want-pokmon-go-hunts-stop-pokmon/86991810/ Holocaust Museum, Auschwitz want Pokémon Go hunts out]</ref><ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-07-12-holocaust-museum-pleads-stop-playing-pokemon-go-here Holocaust museum pleads: stop playing Pokémon Go here • Eurogamer.net]</ref> train rails,<ref>[http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/pokemon-go-dutch-rail-operator-tells-nintendo-change-game-after-players-wonder-onto-tracks-1570308 Pokemon Go players told to stay away from Amsterdam hospital and rail tracks]</ref> and while driving a car.<ref>[http://fortune.com/2016/09/18/pokemon-go-players-driving/ Tens of Thousands of People Are Driving While Playing Pokémon GO | Fortune]</ref> Several people worldwide have been killed or seriously injured in accidents related to playing the game.<ref>[http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-pokemon-go-encinitas-cliff-fall-2016jul13-story.html ‘Pokémon Go’ players fall off 90-foot ocean bluff — The San Diego Union-Tribune]</ref><ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3699722/Pokemon-sees-death-Teenager-18-killed-cousin-injured-playing-game-Guatamala.html Pokemon Go player killed in Guatemala and cousin injured while playing game | Daily Mail Online]</ref><ref>[https://www.theverge.com/2016/8/25/12637878/pokemon-go-driver-kills-woman-japan Driver distracted by Pokémon Go kills woman in Japan — The Verge]</ref>

===Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokédex===
During the {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3}} 2019 Nintendo Treehouse live stream on June 11, 2019,<ref>[https://youtu.be/TmWu-f6L0Mo Nintendo Treehouse: Live | E3 2019] - Youtube</ref> [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that some species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (455 in total across [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VII}}) could not be transferred to {{g|Sword and Shield}}. After a massive amount of backlash from Pokémon fans (most of which involving the {{wp|hashtag}} #BringBackNationalDex), [[The Pokémon Company International]] posted a statement from Masuda in response on [[Pokémon.com]] in Japanese and English on June 28, 2019.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/a-message-for-pokemon-video-game-fans/ A Message for Pokémon Video Game Fans] - Pokémon.com</ref> Despite this reiterated statement, the fan backlash on social media continued, with many fans requesting that compatibility for all Pokémon be included in a post-launch patch. When asked about the possibility of a patch, Masuda stated that he had not yet finalized a decision on such a patch. The controversy became somewhat mitigated when the Expansion Pass was announced for the games, which added 221 of the missing Pokémon back in.

This controversy is sometimes known as {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|Dexit}}, a portmanteau of [[Pokédex]] and {{wp|Brexit}}, which was the withdrawal of the {{wp|United Kingdom}} (the basis of [[Galar]], the setting of Sword and Shield) from the {{wp|European Union}}.

===Pokémon UNITE===
When [[Pokémon UNITE]] was first announced, it quickly attracted controversy due to it being developed by a subsidiary of {{wp|Tencent}}, which was controversial due to its ties to the Chinese government. It also brought up a controversy that had been steadily growing about the use of {{wp|microtransactions}} in Pokémon games. As a result of these controversies, the Pokémon UNITE reveal quickly became the most disliked video on [[The Pokémon Company]]'s [[YouTube]] channel.<ref>Oloman, Jordan (June 25, 2020).

===Palworld===
{{neutrality|section}}
[[File:Palworld.png|250px|thumb|The v0.1.0.0 title screen of Palworld]]
{{wp|Palworld}} is a video game published by {{wp|Pocketpair}}, released in early access on January 19, 2024 for {{wp|Xbox Game Pass}} and {{wp|Steam}}. Within its first week, the game sold over eight million copies on Steam,<ref name=PalworldSales>[https://archive.is/bIHxn Palworld tweet claiming Palworld has sold over 8 million copies in less than six days.]</ref> surpassing the initial sales of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].<ref name=LASales>[https://archive.is/Pimvb Nintendo of America tweet claiming Pokémon Legends Arceus sold 6.5 million in its first week.]</ref> Palworld has frequently been compared to the [[Pokémon]] series due to its open-world monster-catching mechanics and action-oriented gameplay.<ref name=PalworldLA>Tweets of users comparing Palworld and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

====Comparisons to Pokémon====
Palworld received criticism from social media users drawing comparisons between Palworld and Pokémon's aesthetic, especially in regards to its roster of 111 "Pal" creatures at the time of its early access release.<ref name=111ListComparisons>[https://archive.is/F66QC Thread by Cecilia Fae comparing the list of "Pals" in Palworld to Pokémon designs]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/361Sg Post by Acerola_t about Palworld's impact on the larger industry as a whole, referring to it as an "asset flip game".]</ref> Some influencers defended Palworld, which was followed by debate over the title's impact on the artists behind the Pokémon series.<ref name=>[https://archive.is/MzpQu A thread criticizing Twitch streamer Asmongold for his opinions on AI generated artwork and the artists behind both Palworld and the Pokémon series.]</ref>

Several users pointed out similarities between the Pal models found in Palworld and the Pokémon models from games such as {{g|Sun and Moon}}. In particular, the Pal "Azurobe" was compared to {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Primarina}}.<ref name=PalworldAzurobe>[https://archive.is/zEcmm Comparison made between Palworld's "Azurobe" and Pokémon such as Serperior and Primarina.]</ref> One user comparing the models was accused of fabricating evidence due to uniformly scaling the model to make the comparison easier to see within a 3D modeling program,<ref name=PalworldAzurobeFabrication>[https://archive.is/PghBU A thread accusing the fabrication of evidence due to uniformly scaling "Azurobe" and "Serperior"'s models to be the same size.]</ref> though this accusation was disputed by others who clarified that uniformly scaling a model would not alter its mesh.<ref name=PalworldModelScale>[https://archive.is/9OMLq Post responding to those accusing fabrication by uniform model scaling.]</ref> A post also claimed that Azurobe and Serperior shared certain bone chains in equal number, and using a program to move them to match the same positions resulted in a near-identical topology.<ref name=PalworldModelTopology>[https://archive.is/VEJtH Post pointing out the identical amount of bone chains between Serperior and Azurobe.]</ref>

Pals that are currently unobtainable in the game, such as "Boltmane" and "Dark Mutant", were also compared to existing Pokémon, such as {{p|Luxray}} and {{p|Mewtwo|Mega Mewtwo Y}}.<ref name=PalworldBoltmane>[https://archive.is/GyJvO A page on the Pal "Boltmane", who appears similar to Luxray]</ref><ref name=PalworldDarkMutant>[https://archive.is/wip/jrVZP A post about the pal "Dark Mutant", who appears similar to Mega Mewtwo Y.]</ref>

The release of Palworld was also met with further controversy surrounding recent entries in the Pokémon series such as {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, which was frequently compared to the game, particularly regarding its visuals,<ref name=>[https://archive.is/geCqM Tweet from company OperaGX comparing the visuals of Palworld and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.]</ref> with some arguing that Palworld's sudden success could prompt better game design from [[Game Freak]] through competition in the monster collection space.<ref name=>[https://archive.is/NSKoe Post by InfernoOmni arguing that Pokémon fans should want Palworld to be successful in order encourage Game Freak to improve the quality of their games]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/Mxmjb Post from YourRAGE about the "sickening" response that Pokémon fans have to modern Pokémon releases.]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/wip/kClAL Post from The Act Man about hopes for Palworld's success to push Game Freak to release games that aren't a "complete embarrassment"]</ref>

Some content creators defended Palworld, claiming it was intentionally a parody of Pokémon.<ref name=>[https://youtu.be/JxN2nnlI4-0?t=1482 Video by InfernoOmni claiming Palworld is a parody.]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/arjhw Post from a user claiming that Palworld's designs are an intentional parody of Pokémon's.]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/VYwVr Post from YouTuber YourMovieSucks about confusion surrounding the plagiarism accusations and that Fair Use would protect the game from any legal trouble]</ref> Some argued that this constitutes {{wp|fair use}}; however, the doctrine does not apply in Japanese law.

====Use of generative AI====
[[File:Takuro Mizobe.png|250px|left|thumb|Takuro Mizobe, the director of Palworld]]
Additional scrutiny was raised toward game director Takuro Mizobe for use of generative AI during the game's development,<ref name=MizobeAIScrutiny>[https://archive.is/o8kDN Evidence of scrutiny against Mizobe's use of ChatGPT.]</ref><ref name=PalworldCredits>[https://archive.is/HCmeJ The Palworld website, which showcases the credits for the game]</ref><ref name=MizobeAIDevelopment>[https://archive.is/dJXb5 Mizobe posting in 2023 about using ChatGPT to develop Palworld (Japanese: '''"パルワールドのオープニングデモの仕様、なんかいい感じに作っておいて下さい!!"'''

====Industry reactions and legal scrutiny====
In an interview with Automaton Media, Mizobe mentioned that Palworld cleared legal reviews prior to its release with no objections<ref name=PalworldLegalReviews>[https://archive.is/m2mCu Interview between Palworld director Takuro Mizobe and Automaton about the game's legal reviews.]</ref> and that Palworld was not at all similar to Pokémon. Despite this, in a different interview with the same publication, Mizobe noted that the developers directly referenced Pokémon as a "great predecessor", further stating that he was impressed by games like Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.<ref name=PalworldGreatPredecessor>[https://archive.is/tPIgh Interview between Palworld director Takuro Mizobe and Automaton about the game's relation to Pokémon]</ref>

The controversy was commented on by various professionals from the video game industry. VGC spoke to two anonymous AAA game artists claiming that the model comparisons done by other users indicated a potential legal battle between the companies that own the rights to Pokémon against Pocketpair, with a senior character artist adding that they would "stand in court to testify as an expert on this."<ref name=PalworldPlagiarismAccusations>[https://archive.is/hidNJ Interview by VGC talking about Palworld's plagiarism accusations]</ref>

{{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}} and {{wp|Monster Crown}} designer [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=68358 Saiko Takaki] wrote a thread commenting on the history of Pokémon plagiarism, where she claimed that her work on Telefang was designed to not be similar to Pokémon's, with Palworld's designs "clearly adding or subtracting" from existing ones, though noted that she had no comments to make on the actual gameplay, saying it "seemed fun, which is a shame."<ref name=SaikoTakaki>[https://archive.is/jEHdh Thread by Telefang and Monster Crown designer Saiko Takaki discussing Palworld.]</ref>

[[The Pokémon Company International]]'s Ex-Chief Legal Officer [[Dan McGowan]], who was the head of the company's legal team between 2008 to 2020, told ''GamesRadar'' that he was "surprised it got this far", and that it "looks like the usual ripoff nonsense that [he] would see a thousand times a year".<ref name=PalworldExTPCLegalOfficer>[https://archive.is/pEm7N Interview between ex-Pokémon CLO Dan McGowan and GamesRadar.]</ref>

====Public response and impact====
On January 22, Mizobe claimed that the team behind Palworld were receiving threats of violence and claims of slander, calling for people to stop.<ref name=PalworldThreats>[https://archive.is/Ofa7Q Palworld director Takuro Mizobe's claims that the team were receiving threats of violence and slanderous claims.]</ref>

On February 1, Japanese {{wp|tabloid}} magazine ''{{wp|Tokyo Sports}}'' received an alleged tip stating that professionals in the Japanese entertainment industry were actively told to not associate with Palworld.<ref name=PalworldTokyoSports>[https://archive.is/E7V9U Article from Japanese tabloid magazine ''Tokyo Sports.'']</ref> An anonymous senior executive told ''Tokyo Sports'' that they have told their talent "not to mention Palworld on SNS or in public" out of the concern that it could impact future collaborations with the Pokémon brand.

On the morning of January 25, The Pokémon Company issued an official statement on their website<ref name=ThePokémonCompanyPalworldStatement>[https://archive.is/oT1L6 Post on The Pokémon Company website regarding Palworld.]</ref> in both Japanese and English, which read as the following:

<blockquote>
'''''Inquiries Regarding Other Companies' Games'''''

''"We have received many inquiries regarding another company's game released in January 2024. We have not granted any permission for the use of Pokémon intellectual property or assets in that game. We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon. We will continue to cherish and nurture each and every Pokémon and its world, and work to bring the world together through Pokémon in the future."''

''The Pokémon Company''
</blockquote>

On February 6, during [[Nintendo]]'s review of the previous fiscal year, company president [[Shuntaro Furukawa]] directly mentioned Pocketpair, Palworld, and the game's similarity to the Pokémon series, stating, "We will take appropriate action against those that infringe on our intellectual property rights."<ref name=FurukawaPalworld>[https://archive.is/uvDiD Article reporting on Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa's statements regarding Pocketpair and Palworld.]</ref>

====Patent lawsuit====
On September 19, Nintendo, together with The Pokémon Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against creator Pocketpair at the Tokyo District Court, seeking an "injunction against infringement and compensation for damages on the grounds that Palworld, a game developed and released by the Defendant, infringes multiple patent rights".<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2024/240919.html Filing Lawsuit for Infringement of Patent Rights against Pocketpair, Inc. - Nintendo Co.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket plagiarism accusation===
On July 29, 2025, cards from the then-upcoming [[Wisdom of Sea and Sky (TCG Pocket)|Wisdom of Sea and Sky]] set for [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] were datamined from the game's files ahead of the set's official release. Shortly thereafter, Twitter user @lanjiujiu observed that the leaked [[Immersive card (TCG Pocket)|immersive]] print of {{TCG ID|Wisdom of Sea and Sky|Ho-Oh ex|34}}, illustrated by [[SIE NANAHARA]], appeared to be traced directly from fan art they had made nearly four years prior.<ref>[https://archive.is/7yqLo @lanjiujiu on Twitter] (archived from the original July 29, 2025; retrieved July 31, 2025)</ref>

Almost exactly 24 hours after this post, a statement was issued by the development team.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/notice-regarding-new-illustrations Notice Regarding New Illustrations | Pokemon.com]</ref> In it, they confirm that "the card production team provided incorrect materials as official documents to the illustrator" during the creation of both the immersive print of Ho-Oh ex, as well as the creation of the immersive print of {{TCG ID|Wisdom of Sea and Sky|Lugia ex|149}}. As a result, the artwork intended for both of these cards were substituted with placeholder images before the set's official release, which will then be replaced with new artwork when available. Additionally, the team pledged to conduct "a broader investigation to ensure no similar issues exist elsewhere in the game," and to "[strengthen their] quality control processes to prevent this from happening again."

On the morning of July 31, 2025, another statement was issued by the development team, writing that they've since become aware of criticism levied at the illustrator, and clarifying that [[Creatures, Inc.]] and [[The Pokémon Company]] provided references that were not official and that any responsibility for the situation lies with them.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGP_JP/status/1950874266016354333 Request regarding Ho-Oh ex (★3), Lugia ex (★3)]</ref> They further explain that with certain illustrations, the artist will occasionally be asked to trace concept sketches created by the card production team, and that the illustrator was simply abiding by this request. The statement ends with a request to refrain from criticizing or slandering SIE NANAHARA, and a reiterated promise to strengthen their quality control processes.

On August 8, 2025, updated artwork and animations for Ho-Oh ex and Lugia ex's immersive prints were released, once again illustrated by SIE NANAHARA.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGP/status/1953683542182924568 @PokemonTCGP on Twitter]</ref>

=== US Department of Homeland Security social media video ===
On September 23, 2025, the {{wp|Second presidency of Donald Trump|Trump-led}} {{wp|United States Department of Homeland Security}} posted a video with the caption "Gotta Catch ‘Em All" on their social media platforms. It showed a series of raids and arrests intermittent with footage of [[Ash Ketchum]], and featuring mugshots of suspects edited to be Pokémon cards, all set to the [[Pokémon Theme]] song.<ref name="DHSPokemon">[https://www.polygon.com/pokemon-ice-dhs-nintendo/ 'Gotta catch 'em all': The US government is now using Pokémon to promote ICE raids]</ref>

The video has received widespread criticism, with many fans asking Nintendo and The Pokémon Company to take action. In response, [[The Pokémon Company International]] told Polygon and Eurogamer:

<blockquote>
''"We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.

</blockquote>

No legal action has been taken by Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, or The Pokémon Company International as of yet, though former TPCi legal chief Don McGowan believes that the company will do nothing in response to protect its brand image and avoid deportation of its executives.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/fans-want-pokmon-to-sue-after-department-of-homeland-security-video-uses-ash-ketchum-to-promote-ice-but-the-companys-former-legal-boss-says-he-wouldnt-touch-this Fans Want Pokémon to Sue After Department of Homeland Security Video Uses Ash Ketchum to Promote ICE — But The Company's Former Legal Boss Says He 'Wouldn't Touch This']</ref>

=== White House social media usage of the Pokopia Font Generator ===
On March 5, 2026, the official White House X social media account posted an [https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2029566106650767581/ image generated using the "Pokopia Font Generator"]. The post featured the infamous slogan of Donald Trump, "{{wp|Make America Great Again}}". In response, [[The Pokémon Company International]] issued a statement condemning such actions. The company's spokesperson, Sravanthi Dev said to media outlets:

<blockquote>
''"We are aware of recent social content that includes imagery associated with our brand. We were not involved in its creation or distribution, and no permission was granted for the use of our intellectual property. Our mission is to bring the world together, and that mission is not affiliated with any political viewpoint or agenda"''<ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/pokemon-pokopia-white-house-meme-statement/ Pokemon Company issues statement after White House uses Pokémon Pokopia in meme] Nintendo Everything, March 5, 2026/</ref>

==Legal issues==
Various lawsuits have been filed against [[Nintendo]], [[The Pokémon Company]], and related entities regarding [[Pokémon]] or Pokémon characters.

===Uri Geller===
[[File:DarkKadabraTeamRocket39.jpg|thumb|200px|Dark Kadabra TCG card]]
Israeli magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, known for his attribution of his spoon-bending tricks to alleged {{wp|psychic}} abilities, sued Nintendo, alleging that {{p|Kadabra}} (known as ''Yungerer'' in Japan) was an unauthorized use of his name and likeness. Besides Kadabra's use of [[Twisted Spoon|bent spoons]] to enhance its {{t|psychic}} powers, the {{wp|katakana}} for its name (ユンゲラー) is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー). In particular, he took issue with Kadabra cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], especially the existence of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Kadabra|39}} (named "Evil Yungerer" in Japanese). Geller, who is Jewish, additionally argued that Kadabra's design is {{wp|Antisemitism|antisemitic}} due to the five-pointed star on its forehead and the lightning bolts resembling the logo of the {{wp|Waffen-SS}}.<ref name="BBC"/> He is quoted as saying "Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image."<ref name="BBC"/> The symbols themselves are taken from those used on {{wp|Zener cards}}, which have been used to conduct research into supposed psychic abilities since the 1930s, and Geller has personally used in some of his magic tricks.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbI8i17COJQ&t=341 The Man Who Stopped Game Freak from Using Kadabra - Uri Geller | Save Data | YouTube]</ref>

Geller told news outlets that he first became aware of Kadabra and its similarities to him while he was Christmas shopping at a {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} store in Japan. According to Geller, the store manager "rushed out from his office continuously bowing," followed by "hundreds of children [thrusting] Pokemon cards at him to autograph while chanting what sounded like Uri Geller."<ref name="Guardian"/>

In December 1999, he told news outlets that he was planning to sue Nintendo. Geller retained lawyers in Tokyo and the United States, and told news outlets that he was pursuing legal action in "Europe, America, Latin America and Australasia". In the US, his lawyer said they were planning to sue for US$100 million. When reached for comment, Nintendo in Japan told news outlets they had not yet received the lawsuit.<ref name="Guardian">[https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/29/2 Nintendo faces £60m writ from Uri Geller | UK News | The Guardian] ([https://archive.today/XkBzu archived copy])</ref> Nintendo told news outlets "None of the Pokémon characters is given a name based on the image of any particular person".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070224021819/http://news.zdnet.co.uk/emergingtech/0,1000000183,2076058,00.htm Uri Geller sues Pokemon | ZDnet]</ref> When VICE investigated the case in 2018, they were unable to find any evidence of Geller ever filing a lawsuit in Japan, although they were unable to contact the Japanese lawyer who Geller had retained.<ref name="VICE">[https://www.vice.com/de/article/pa947m/uri-gellers-kampf-gegen-pokemon-kadabra-nintendo Uri Geller vs. Kadabra: Die bizarre Geschichte hinter der verschwundenen Pokémon-Karte | VICE] (in German)</ref>

In November 2000, it was reported that Geller had begun legal action against Nintendo in Los Angeles federal court, for using his likeness (Kadabra) on Pokémon cards without authorization. It was reported that his lawsuit alleged he should receive substantial damages and that Nintendo cease producing cards containing his likeness.<ref name="BBC">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1003454.stm BBC News | ENTERTAINMENT | Geller sues Nintendo over Pokémon] ([https://archive.today/AhjVR archived copy])</ref> When VICE researched the case in 2018, they were only able to find documents filed from 2001 to 2003.<ref name="VICE"/>

In 2001, Geller, along with Liechtenstein company Sambracal AG (who own the rights to Geller's name and likeness), sued Nintendo, arguing that the use of his likeness in Kadabra violated his rights under California's privacy laws. However, the judge ruled that as he was not a citizen or resident of the United States (he is a citizen of Israel and the United Kingdom who lived in the United Kingdom at the time), he was not eligible for protection under these privacy laws, so he could only sue under privacy laws in the United Kingdom, but no such laws existed that would protect him in this case; that part of the case was dismissed on August 16, 2001, but Geller continued to sue arguing that the cards violated the trademark rights to his own name. In November 2002, a judge dismissed Geller's trademark claims against Nintendo of America, ruling that there was insufficient evidence that Nintendo of America was involved in the distribution of Japanese language Kadabra cards in the United States (since only the Japanese language cards bore a similarity to Geller's name); since the Japanese language cards were only intended to be distributed in Japan, only Japanese trademark law could be applied, but Geller did not own a trademark on his name in Japan. On March 3, 2003, Geller's lawsuit was dismissed by the judge.<ref name="VICE"/>

Despite Geller losing his lawsuit, it seemed to have a {{wp|chilling effect}} on the usage of Kadabra in official Pokémon media. From 2003 to 2022, there were no new Kadabra cards released in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with the last Kadabra card to be printed before the drought being in {{TCG|Skyridge}} in 2003. Kadabra had not appeared in the [[Pokémon animated series]] since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' in 2006. In a July 2008 interview with [[PokéBeach]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] stated that usage of Kadabra on a card is not allowed until an agreement was reached and that the case would not be settled anytime soon.<ref>[http://pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points Second Interview with Masamitsu Hidaka – Many Interesting Points! (July 4th, 2008) « Website News « PokéBeach] ([https://archive.today/ApNJu archived copy])</ref>

{{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} cards have continued to be printed, despite the lack of Kadabra cards. In matches that prevent the use of older cards, this made it impossible to play Alakazam without using cards that allow Alakazam to be played directly without evolving it from Kadabra, such as {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Rare Candy|88}}. The only {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} card released between {{TCG|Skyridge}} and 2023, in {{tcg|Mysterious Treasures}}, has an attack that allows it to evolve directly into Alakazam, skipping the Kadabra stage. Any {{TCG|Alakazam}} cards printed since were Basic Pokémon that did not need to evolve from anything.

On November 27, 2020, The Gamer published an article about the history of Geller and Kadabra.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/kadabra-pokemon-card/ Why There Hasn’t Been A Kadabra Pokemon Card For Almost 20 Years | The Gamer]</ref> The following day, after being contacted by a reader of The Gamer's article,<ref>[https://twitter.com/BristolBeadz/status/1332954024245678082 Tweet from the author of The Gamer's first article]</ref> Geller reached out to The Gamer, telling them that he had sent a letter to "the chairman of Nintendo giving them permission to relaunch the Uri Geller Kadabra/Yungeller worldwide", which they published in a follow-up article.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/uri-geller-nintendo-permission-kadabra-pokemon-cards/ Uri Geller Gives Nintendo Permission To Print Kadabra On Pokemon Cards Again | The Gamer]</ref> The next day, Geller tweeted that he was sorry about "what [he] did 20 years ago", and that he was rescinding the ban; the tweet included an image of The Gamer's second article and a link to his personal museum,<ref>[https://twitter.com/theurigeller/status/1332794451727691777 Uri Geller's tweet]</ref> which at the time was scheduled to open in December 2020 after its opening had been postponed by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201129015756/https://urigellermuseum.com/ Uri Geller Museum website] (archive)</ref>

In 2021, Kadabra made its first appearance in {{pkmn|animation}} since 2006 in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]'' (debuting December 16, 2021). The first {{TCG ID|151|Kadabra|64}} card printed since Skyridge is included in the {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}} subset in Japan (released June 16, 2023) and its counterpart {{TCG|151}} expansion in English (released September 22, 2023).

===Power Bouncer suffocation incident===
In January 1999, a 7-year-old boy suffocated to death after a Pokémon [[Power Bouncer]] ball became lodged in his throat while playing with it. After his death, his parents created a website named "Pokémon Kills", criticizing Hasbro and Pokémon for not taking appropriate safety measures in their product design.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000511143552/http://www.pokemonkills.com/ Pokémon Kills]</ref> In November 1999, the boy's parents filed a lawsuit against Hasbro and Toys "R" Us.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/13/nyregion/parents-of-boy-who-choked-to-death-on-pokemon-ball-file-suit.html Parents of Boy Who Choked to Death on Pokemon Ball File Suit | New York Times] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230924103450/https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/13/nyregion/parents-of-boy-who-choked-to-death-on-pokemon-ball-file-suit.html archive])</ref>

===Yasukuni Shrine===
{{wp|Yasukuni Shrine}} is a {{wp|Controversies surrounding Yasukuni Shrine|controversial}} shrine located in Tokyo, Japan.

'''Vivillon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビビヨン''' ''Viviyon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Spewpa}} starting at [[level]] 12. It is the final form of {{p|Scatterbug}}.

There are a total of 20 known Vivillon [[#Form data|patterns]], one of which is {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive.

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}}, Vivillon's wing pattern depends on the real-world geographic location set on the game the Pokémon was generated in.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Spewpa will always evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon, except if the Spewpa was transferred from another game via {{g|HOME}}, or when the pattern Spewpa can evolve into has been changed by receiving a [[Gift#Postcards|Postcard]] from {{g|GO}}.

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

==Biology==
[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Vivillon.png|thumb|150px|left|The Vivillon wallpaper in Pokémon HOME]]
Vivillon is a butterfly-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with wings that come in a large variety of patterns. It has a round, grayish head with large, black, pixelated eyes and a pair of skinny antennae. The tips of the antennae each have an ovoid scale that is dark gray on the upper half and beige on the lower half. Vivillon's thorax is an ovoid and divided into three segments; each segment is a different shade of gray. Its legs are also ovoid and are dark gray on the lower half, beige on the upper half, and have a black band in the middle. It has two black, circular hands and no visible arms. While Vivillon's wings come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, they always have black edges and pixelated markings. It can spread its scales to poison its opponents during battle or, as seen in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'', to calm an opponent's fighting spirit. It is highly capable of finding sources of water, such as springs.

Vivillon is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Powder}} by leveling up.

===Forms===
Vivillon has 20 separate forms; the pattern of Vivillon's wings is affected by the climate and topography of the environment it lives and is born in.

===Form data===

[[File:Vivillon locations 1.png|thumb|Official maps describing Vivillon locations in Generations VI and VII]]

Vivillon has 20 distinct forms, each having different patterns on its wings. {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}} have the pattern of Vivillon that they will evolve into already set when the Pokémon is generated; for {{pkmn|Egg}}s, this means the game in which the Egg was created, regardless of parents. This form cannot be changed.

In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], its pattern depends on which geographic location the user specified on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] at the time the save file was created. This affects all Vivillon encountered within the game and can only be changed later by deleting the save file and creating a new one. Due to {{DL|Software region|Nintendo 3DS|region locking}}, a Nintendo 3DS system can only pick from a certain subset of geographic locations, depending on which region the system is from. For a comprehensive list, see [[List of Nintendo 3DS country and region settings]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, all wild Vivillon will have the Fancy Pattern by default (though other patterns are used by some [[Non-player character|NPCs]]). However, transferring a [[Gift#Postcards|Postcard]] from {{g|GO}} using the [[Mystery Gift]] feature in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will change the pattern of all wild Vivillon to match the location the Postcard came from. Wild Scatterbug and Spewpa caught after receiving the Postcard will also evolve into Vivillon matching the Postcard's pattern. Scatterbug and Spewpa caught prior to receiving the Postcard will not evolve with the Postcard's pattern. After 24 hours, the wild Pokémon will revert back to Fancy Pattern unless another Postcard has been used. Changing the time and date of the [[Nintendo Switch]] system may end the effect prematurely. An account cannot send more than one Postcard per day, but multiple accounts can be linked each day and can each send a Postcard. A Pokémon Scarlet and Violet save file may not receive the same Postcard more than once. All [[Pokémon breeding|hatched]] Scatterbug will evolve into the Fancy Pattern regardless of Postcard effects. Using the [[Union Circle]] feature, players are able to see and catch wild Vivillon from other players' games, allowing them to catch various patterns of Vivillon regardless of whether they own a matching Postcard. Additionally, if the Scatterbug or Spewpa came from another game like Pokémon GO, it will retain the pattern it was assigned in its original game.

18 of the patterns correspond to certain regions, while the other two do not. The regions corresponding to each pattern differ somewhat between the Nintendo 3DS and Pokémon GO.

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

==Trivia==

* Vivillon and its pre-evolved forms are the only:
** {{type|Bug}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]].
** {{cat|Generation VI Pokémon}} in the {{egg|Bug}} [[Egg Group]].
* Vivillon's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 HP, 1 Special Attack, and 1 Speed is unique.
* Vivillon's [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]] has changed between generations:
** In Generation VI, Vivillon's Pokédex color is black.
** In [[Generation VII]], Vivillon's Pokédex color is white.
** In {{g|HOME}}, each of Vivillon's forms are listed under distinct color groupings based on the color of their wings.
*** Since the release of Pokémon HOME, Vivillon is listed under the most [[Pokédex]] [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] groupings, with a total of nine.
*** Meadow Pattern and Fancy Pattern Vivillon are the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|pink}} {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
*** There currently exists a Vivillon form for every Pokédex color group, except {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|black}}.
* Up until [[Generation IX]], Vivillon could not learn {{m|Iron Defense}} directly, even though its pre-evolved form, {{p|Spewpa}}, was able to learn this move from a Move Tutor.
* As of Generation IX, Vivillon has the most [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for a single Pokémon, with 20 per game (one for each form).
** Prior to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Version history|Version 1.2.0]], only some of these 20 entries were accessible, as Spewpa could only evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, and only a few other entries could be gained from NPC encounters.

===Origin===
Considering the many different varieties of Vivillon that differ depending on the player's geographic location, Vivillon may have been based on ''{{wp|Papilio dardanus}}'', which is known for {{wp|Polymorphism (biology)|having over 14 known morphs}}, each of which mimics a different distasteful species of butterfly. Its block-like wing patterns may be based on {{wp|pixel art}}. Modern Pattern Vivillon in particular may be based on modern art, specifically the {{wp|De Stijl}} movement.

====Name origin====
Vivillon and Viviyon may be a combination of ''vivid'' and ''papillon'' (French for butterfly). It may also involve 美 ''bi'' (Japanese for beauty) or ''brillant'' (French for brilliant).

Just a lurker: /* Depths */Hypno can apparently be found here. I don't know the spawn rate.

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

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

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

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

After 800 years, [[Heath]] and the Area Zero expedition team reached the bottom of the location, being the first ones to ever achieve that feat. Heath proceeded to take many notes on the area, the [[Herba Mystica]], the various wild Pokémon, and the first encounter with [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He recorded his research into the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} afterwards, but, despite that, people accused Heath of fabricating his story, and the whole expedition was widely discredited. The expedition team also retrieved the Herba Mystica for a research project, which eventually failed due to local Pokémon consuming the herbs and becoming [[Titan Pokémon]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Player's house

| This page may be in need of research. '''Reason:''' The Joy-Cons seen in the Nintendo Switch games match the colors the player is using (as is typical of Nintendo Switch games). What happens when the player is using a Switch Pro controller?''{{{1|}}}'' ''You can [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/{{TALKPAGENAMEE}} discuss] this on the talk page.''
|}

The '''player's house''' is the building in which the {{player}} lives in their respective games, located in their [[hometown]].

The player usually first starts the game in their bedroom and ends up there after beating the [[Pokémon League]]. Most player character's bedrooms include a [[PC]], a bed, and often the current [[Nintendo]] console connected to a [[television]]. Also, in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}, there is a [[Potion]] already stored in the PC's item storage.

The player's [[mother]] usually resides on the first floor and can be found there for the entire game.

==In the core series games==
In the Nintendo Switch titles starting in [[Generation VIII]], the player will have a Nintendo Switch in their room with two Joy-Con nearby. The Joy-Con will match the ones the player is using.

===Kanto===
{{ga|Red}} lives in this house in all games featuring Kanto, except in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{LGPE}} In FireRed and LeafGreen, the female counterpart to Red—{{ga|Leaf}}—can live here as well. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, either {{ga|Chase}} or {{ga|Elaine}} can live here depending on the player's gender. It is located in [[Pallet Town]].

====Generations I, III, and VII====
The player's house has two floors: the player's room at the top, and the living room at the bottom. There is a flight of stairs at the northeast corner of the house.

The player's room has a [[PC]], a bed, and a [[Television|TV]] with a video game console hooked up to it. In the [[Generation III]] games, a sign can also be found on the wall by the stairs to the living room, informing the player that pressing the L or R button will bring up the Help feature. In the [[Generation VII]] games, there is a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}} plush depending on the version being played ({{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, or Let's Go, Eevee!}}, respectively), and the player can also interact with a globe located at the southeast corner of the room.

In the [[Generation I]] and III games, a [[Potion]] can be withdrawn from the PC at the start of the game. In Generation VII, an e-mail from the player's friend and rival, {{ga|Trace}}, can be found that tells the player how to interact with people, how to run, how to access the X menu, and how to save the game. In all games, the PC can also be used as an item storage system like any other PC in the game, but it can't be used for some other features such as the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

The player's video game console depends on the game:
* Famicom (in the Japanese version of all Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, except for Pokémon Yellow)
* Super Famicom (in the Japanese version of {{game|Yellow}})
* [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] (in the international versions of all Generation I games)
* NES (in the international versions of the Generation III games)
* [[Nintendo Switch]] with a single Joy-Con (in the Generation VII remakes, two Joy-Con if the player is playing in Co-op mode)

The video game console uses the same sprite in all Generation I games (though it is identified by the game text), whereas the Generation III remakes have different sprites for the Famicom (in the Japanese games) and the NES (in the international games).

The living room downstairs has a TV and a dining table, where the {{ka|Mom|player's mother}} can be found. After the player receives their [[starter Pokémon]], their mother can fully restore the player's Pokémon, just like at a [[Pokémon Center]]. The Generation III and VII games include a small kitchen-like area at the northeast corner of the living room.

The movie or show on TV depends on the player's gender and the game language. This is shown in the game text when the player interacts with the TV by pressing A. In Generation I, interacting with the TV from either the left or right side will show the message, "''Oops, wrong side.''" In the Generation III remakes, the TV is located too close to the wall, therefore it's not possible to interact with it from the sides.

:''For the list of television quotes, see [[Television#Kanto and Johto]]''

====Generations II and IV====
In the living room, {{ga|Red}}'s {{ka|mom}} is sitting at the table and (in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}) drinking tea. If the player talks to her, she will mention that she worries about Red, but at the same time she's proud of him. Interacting with the TV will show a message indicating that it is showing different programs than are shown in Johto.

In [[Generation II]], the living room has gained a mirror compared to [[Generation I]]. Red's bedroom is essentially the same as in Generation I, although a chest of drawers and a bookcase have been added, while the {{nw|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} has been replaced by a {{nw|Nintendo 64}}.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the kitchen area has gained a refrigerator and the TV is larger compared to {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. The differences to Red's bedroom are as follows:
* the green carpet has been replaced with a much bigger, red checkered carpet;
* the [[PC]] has been replaced with a laptop;
* the {{nw|Nintendo Entertainment System|NES}} has been replaced by a {{nw|Wii}}.

In both Generations II and IV, interacting with the PC will show the message, "''It looks like it hasn’t been used in a long time...''"

===Johto===
The player, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}, lives in this house. It is located in [[New Bark Town]].

In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the bedroom has a TV, a [[Pokégear#Radio|radio]] tuned to [[Pokégear#Generation II|channel 4.5]] and a PC which can be used to access item and mail storage. The PC in this room has an additional function, allowing the player to customize the bedroom with a variety of [[decoration]]s, such as [[Pokémon doll]]s, as well as [[bed]]s, [[game system]]s, [[plant]]s, and [[carpet]]s. The [[Town Map]] hanging on the wall can also be replaced with one of several [[poster]]s of different Pokémon.

Most decorations are received as gifts when using [[Mystery Gift]] with another player, although {{jo|Mom}} may also purchase some if the player has allowed her to save their money. A gold trophy and silver trophy can also be obtained from {{g|Stadium 2}}. The position of most decorations within the bedroom are fixed and cannot be altered; dolls, however, can be placed on either the left or right side of the table. It is also possible to put away all decorations, including the map and the bed. The bedroom and its decorations can be viewed in 3D in Pokémon Stadium 2 if a compatible game is inserted into the [[Transfer Pak]].

In {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the room instead resembles the Sinnoh bedroom rather than the original Johto one. The PC can only be used to access mail storage, and the console in the room is a Wii. Unlike the original games, this bedroom cannot be customized. The three trophy decorations from {{game|Platinum}}, earned upon achieving a win streak of 20, 50 and 100 in the Single Battle mode of the {{si|Battle Tower}}, can also be obtained in these games. Once awarded, they are automatically placed on the rug in the bedroom and cannot be moved or removed.

===Hoenn===
Depending on the player's gender, the player lives in one of two houses in [[Littleroot Town]]. {{ga|Brendan|The male player character}} lives in one in the northwest of the town, while {{ga|May|the female player character}} lives in one in the northeast of Littleroot. Both houses, including the bedrooms, are essentially mirrored versions of each other.

The first floor features a dining area, a television, and a kitchen. Both bedrooms feature a TV, a [[Nintendo GameCube]] (the in-game text says that a GBA is connected to the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]){{sup/3|RSE}}/a [[Wii U]] with a GamePad{{sup/6|ORAS}}, a town map, a notebook with basic control instructions, and a clock on the wall, which serves as the only indicator of time in the game. In Ruby and Sapphire, both bedrooms have a purple GameCube, but in Emerald, {{ga|Brendan}}'s GameCube is purple, while {{ga|May}}'s is orange.

In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there is also a PC in the room, which can be used to access item and mail storage and the decoration feature. This latter feature is more basic than the system present in [[Generation II]]; Pokémon dolls and cushions may be placed on the rug only, and up to 16 decorations may be placed. The dolls, cushions, and other decorations can be placed in a [[Secret Base]], where most of the customization options have shifted. In Ruby and Sapphire, both bedrooms have red rugs, but in Emerald, {{ga|Brendan}}'s room has a blue rug, while {{ga|May}}'s has a pink rug. A Pokémon doll will appear in the rival's bedroom at a certain point in the game.

The Hoenn-based games are some of the few games that do not begin with the player in their bedroom, instead beginning in [[Inside of Truck|the back of a moving truck]], having moved from the [[region]] of [[Johto]] to [[Hoenn]]. At the start of the game, there are two {{p|Machoke}}{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}/{{p|Vigoroth}}{{sup/3|E}} helping with the move. Due to an oversight in the Japanese version of Pokémon Emerald, both Vigoroth have Machoke's cry; this was fixed in the international versions of this game.

===Sinnoh===
The player, {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}}, lives in this house. It is located in [[Twinleaf Town]].

The ground floor has a kitchen, a dining area, and a living area.

The bedroom in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} is the most basic of all the games. There is a TV, a Wii, and a PC that simply gives basic tips on how to play the game. A sign next to the stairs informs the player how to open the menu. In {{2v2|Brilliant Diamond|Shining Pearl}}, the Wii is replaced by a Nintendo Switch, and the [[Azure Flute]] is right next to it if the [[save data bonus]] from obtaining {{p|Arceus}} in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} has been achieved.

===Unova===
====Nuvema Town====
[[File:Player Bedroom mess BW.png|thumb|200px|The player's bedroom in {{game|Black and White|s}}, following a Pokémon battle]]
The player, {{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}}, lives in this house. It is located in [[Nuvema Town]].

The first floor has a living area and a kitchen.

The second floor, the bedroom, contains a [[Wii]] and a PC that does not serve any real function.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the first two [[Pokémon battle]]s of the game take place within the bedroom, causing the room to fall into a state of disarray. The player's mother will later happily tidy the room, and it will be restored to its original condition after she gives the player [[Running Shoes]] on {{rt|2|Unova}}. The bedroom cannot be custom decorated, however, numerous decorations can still be obtained. When the [[Unova Pokédex|Unova]] and [[National Pokédex]]es are completed, their respective [[diploma]]s will automatically be delivered to the house and placed on a table in the upper part of the bedroom. Three trophies can also be obtained by achieving high win streaks on the [[Battle Subway]], and will automatically be placed on the table in the lower part of the room. A trophy will be awarded upon achieving a win streak of 49+ battles on the Super Single, Super Double, and Super Multi Lines respectively.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}'s mother mistakes {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} for her own child, before realizing that they were actually the player. She continues to heal the player's Pokémon as in Black and White, commenting on how she may want to go on a journey to find her child; however, she worries that they would return while she was gone. If [[Memory Link]] has been established, she will refer to them by name, and the trophies and diplomas they earned will appear in their room. The PC in Hilbert/Hilda's room looks as if it has not been used in a long time.

====Aspertia City====
The player, {{ga|Nate}} or {{ga|Rosa}}, lives in this house. It is located in [[Aspertia City]].

The main area of the house has a kitchen, a small table for two, and a couch facing a TV with a Wii.

Unlike in previous games, the bedroom is not upstairs in a separate room, but simply partitioned from the main living area, as the player's house is only single-story. There is a table and a dresser in the top part of the room where the diplomas and trophies will be displayed if they have been awarded.

===Kalos===
The player, {{ga|Calem}} or {{ga|Serena}}, lives in this house. It is located in [[Vaniville Town]].

The first floor of the house has a small kitchen and a living area, featuring a TV above a fireplace playing a documentary about the [[Grace (Kalos)|player's mom]]. A {{p|Fletchling}} roams the living area. Unlike all previous games, the first floor of the house has a room for the [[Mother|player's mother]].

The basic layout of the player's bedroom on the second floor is similar whether the player is a boy or a girl, with the main difference being the overall color scheme and design choice. Both rooms have a TV, a [[Wii U]] with a GamePad controller (male players will have the black premium version while females will have the white basic version), and a PC, though like previous games the PC lacks any real function aside from giving the player basic adventure tips. A wall mirror hangs in the middle of the back wall, reflecting the player's image when walked up to. The mirror serves no purpose after the very beginning of the game when the player changes out of their pajamas. On the right side of the room past the mirror, there is a long counter between rows of cabinets where the player's [[diploma]]s are put. This bedroom is noticeably much larger that in previous games, most likely in part to the larger house size.

The player's mother's {{p|Rhyhorn}} sleeps in the house's front yard.

===Alola===
In [[Alola]], the player, {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}}, lives in a house technically located on {{rt|1|Alola}}, but in the Hau'oli Outskirts, which is described as an area between [[Hau'oli City]] and Route 1.

The main room has a small kitchen on the top left of the room. There is also a table with [[Chople Berry|Chople Berries]] and take-out packages on it. A {{p|Meowth}} also lives with the player. To the right, there is a door that leads to a balcony.

The player's mother's room has a bed for Meowth which is 'hardly used because Meowth just sleeps in your mom's bed instead'. A human bed is found at the top left. The room also has a dresser, a cabinet, moving boxes, and a clothing rack, all of which cannot be interacted with.

The player's room has a similar layout regardless of the character's gender, although the color schemes are different. On the bottom left, there is a {{p|Ditto}} pillow and a [[Poké Toy]], which are "covered in Meowth's claw marks". Like X and Y, there's a TV with a [[Wii U]] in the top left corner. On the nightstand is a Pikachu doll. Looking at the globe on the player's table makes the player think "Kanto and Alola seem awfully far apart" and the opened book lists adventure rules. On the right side of the room is a bed and some moving boxes. After the player obtains the Zygarde Cube, a cell can be found in the player's room. In {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, a few things are replaced. The Ditto doll is replaced by a {{p|Snorlax}} cushion, the Wii U is replaced by a [[Nintendo Switch]], and the Pikachu doll is replaced with an autograph of a [[Lt. Surge|Kanto Gym Leader]]. The Pikachu doll is now located on the bed.

===Hisui===
In [[Hisui]], the player, {{ga|Rei}} or {{ga|Akari}}, is given a house next to the [[Galaxy Hall]] in [[Jubilife Village]] once they are accepted into the [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Team Survey Corps]].

The outer room consists of an central fireplace, some tables, a big water jar, and a dresser for storing extra clothes. The bedroom has a small mirror where the player can change their [[List of clothing (Legends: Arceus)|clothing]], a bed where the player can rest to change the [[time]] of day, and a decorative [[Pokéshi Doll]].

The day/night cycle will not advance in Jubilife Village unless the player rests. After unlocking the [[Eternal Battle Reverie]], it can also be accessed by resting in the bed. The house is referred to as ''Your quarters'' on the in-game map.

The {{p|Rotom}} appliances purchased will automatically be sent to the player's quarters and placed in a predesignated spot: The Mechanical Tub (Washing Machine) and Mechanical Circular Saw (Lawn Mover) will be in the entryway across the item chest, the Mechanical Box (Microwave) will be on the outer dresser, the Mechanical Cabinet (Refrigerator) will be outside the bedroom door, and the Mechanical Pinwheel (Electric Fan) will be on the bedroom windowsill. Interacting with any of these appliances will transform Rotom into one of its other {{form|Rotom|forms}}, and interacting with the same appliance again will revert Rotom into its base form.

==Trivia==
* The player's bedroom in {{2v2|Black|White}} versions is the only location in the series to suffer damage from Pokémon battles. In all other battles which take place indoors or outdoors, the environment remains unscathed.
* The player's house in [[Alola]] is the only one to be located on a route.
* In [[Hisui]], interacting with the Rotom appliances while the player has no Rotom (either in the party or box/[[pastures]]) will display the following text:
*:''It's a microwave oven you bought from the Gingko Guild. But cooking is Beni's job.''
*:''It's a washing machine you bought from the Gingko Guild. But using it would waste water.''
*:''It's a refrigerator you bought from the Gingko Guild. What era did this even come from?''
*:''It's an electric fan you bought from the Gingko Guild. But this place isn't hot enough to need it.''
*:''It's a lawn mower you bought from the Gingko Guild. But there aren't exactly lawns to mow.''
**This text cannot be read if the player has at least one Rotom, as the game will instead display "''Your Rotom seems to want to investigate the [appliance]'s motor... Will you let it?".

Area Zero

2024-01-17T15:35:13Z

Just a lurker: /* Area Zero Underdepths */

{{Infobox location
|image=Upper Area Zero.png
|type=land
|location_name=Area Zero
|japanese_name=エリアゼロ
|translated_name=Area Zero
|location=Great Crater of Paldea
|region=Paldea
|mapsize=300px
|map=Paldea Great Crater of Paldea Map.png
|generation={{gen|IX}}
}}

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

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

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

==History==
[[File:Area Zero Underground SV.png|thumb|left|250px|The depths of Area Zero]]
2,000 years ago, the Paldean emperor attempted many expeditions into Area Zero, starting off the Great Age of Exploration. The reason was due to a rumor, claiming there was treasure located at the bottom. However, this decision led to the empire declining after 1,000 years. 800 years later, [[Heath]] and the Area Zero expedition team would be the first to reach Area Zero's bottom. Here, Heath proceeds to take many notes on the area, [[Herba Mystica]], the various wild Pokémon and first encounter with the mysterious [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He would later record his research into the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. However, people accused Heath of fabricating his story, and the whole expedition was widely discredited. The expedition team also took the Herba Mystica with them outside of the crater for a research project. The project failed due to local Pokémon consuming the herbs and transforming into the [[Titan Pokémon]].

60 years after the expedition, the [[Terastal phenomenon]] would be discovered for the first time in Area Zero. However, the phenomenon could not be achieved outside of Area Zero. 53 years later, a research station was built in Area Zero in order for research to be continued at the location. Ten years before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} started an expedition into Area Zero, setting up the [[Zero Lab]]. The professor would find a way to achieve the Terastal phenomenon outside of Area Zero through the use of [[Tera Orb]]s. Eventually, the professor moved permanently into the Zero Lab to continue more research on Area Zero and the Paradox Pokémon as part of the Tera Project, leaving their son [[Arven]] behind to take care of himself. Not long before the events of the game, Arven would enter Area Zero in an attempt to find his parent, only for his {{p|Mabosstiff}} to be attacked by a creature he describes as either "rampaging"{{sup/9|S}} or "metallic, machine"{{sup/9|V}}. This injures it to the point where all attempts at using traditional medicine failed to heal it, until he decides to ask the {{player}} for assistance, setting into motion the events of the game.

==Places of interest==
===Research Stations===
There are four Research Stations located around Area Zero. Upon entering Area Zero for the first time, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} request that the {{player}}, [[Arven]], [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] visit all four Research Stations to deactivate the locks of the [[Zero Lab]], where they reside. Each of the Research Stations have a [[warp tile]] which can teleport the player to the [[Zero Gate]] or any of the other Research Stations, if they have already been visited. There is also a bed in each, where the player can rest and heal their [[party]].

Each of the Research Stations have journals which describe Professor Sada's{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo's{{sup/9|V}} efforts in studying the [[Terastal phenomenon]], as well as {{p|Koraidon}} and the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}} and the distant future{{sup/9|V}}.

===Zero Lab===
{{main|Zero Lab}}
The Zero Lab is where Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}} conducted their research. It is located at the very bottom of Area Zero.

===Strange symbols===
A huge cavern where the ground has strange symbols inscribed on its ground. It's unknown who or what inscribed them there, but [[Heath]] ponderd if they could've been left by past explorers sent by the Paldean empire or even older still.

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

===Area Zero Underdepths===
{{Main|Area Zero Underdepths}}
A large cavern and an extention of Area Zero, located about 3,300 feet under the surface, it appears to have formed about 2 million years ago. It is located under the Zero Lab and by extention, under Area Zero itself. It is so deep underground that it can only be inhabited by {{p|Glimmet}}, {{p|Glimmora}} and {{p|Carbink}}. The exception to that is {{p|Noivern}}, {{p|Sandy Shocks}}, {{p|Iron Thorns}}, and {{p|Garganacl}} which are all one time requirements to beat inorder to progress in the game. And a {{p|Garchomp}}, which is optional to beat. It's also where the only known living {{p|Terapagos}} slumbers.

===Area Zero Depths===
After finishing {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|The Way Home}}, the player can encounter the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} on a small, raised plateau at the very bottom of Area Zero.

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

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

'''Flutter Mane''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハバタクカミ''' ''Habatakukami'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Fairy}} [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon. It is said to be a relative of {{p|Misdreavus}}<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}:''"Through analysis of its genetic makeup, as well as its behavioral patterns...I came to realize that what I had discovered was in fact an ancient{{sup/9|S}}/futuristic{{sup/9|V}} form of {{p|Cyclizar}}, the Pokémon commonly ridden in this region."' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> from the ancient past or a version of {{p|Misdreavus}}<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch Pokémon that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> from a different timeline.

==Biology==
Flutter Mane is a dark bluish-green, ghost-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. While it has no visible arms or legs, its lower half has several small appendages that resemble a ruffled dress, and its hair resembles a set of arms with feathers. It has several round red gems around its neck and red spikes growing from the top of its head. Its large eyes are yellow with red sclerae.

In an article from a May issue of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine, it is stated that Flutter Mane's name was taken from a strange creature with a matching description appearing in the [[Scarlet Book]]. It is said to float around the sky at night with its long hair writhing about it. According to the magazine, eyewitness accounts initially described it as resembling a giant {{p|Misdreavus}}, albeit a highly fierce and aggressive one, and that some believe it to be a ghost of a {{wp|pterosaur}} from a long-gone era.

According to [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]], Flutter Mane is an ancient Pokémon related to Misdreavus. However, according to a Sada brought to the [[Crystal Pool]] by {{p|Terapagos}}, Flutter Mane is a counterpart of Misdreavus from another timeline. Its true origin is unknown. Flutter Mane were brought to the depths of [[Area Zero]] by a [[time machine]] built by Professor Sada ten years ago.

==Trivia==
* Flutter Mane has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all [[Paradox Pokémon]].
* Flutter Mane has the lowest base {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all [[Paradox Pokémon]].
* Flutter Mane was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1613830459871629317 Tweet by ありがひとし (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on January 13, 2023.</ref>

* Even though the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldean Pokédex]] will not state any location info about it, Flutter Mane will only spawn at night.

===Origin===

Flutter Mane is based on {{p|Misdreavus}}. It may also be based on {{wp|banshee}}s and the {{wp|bruxa}}, a vampire witch from Iberian folklore.

Pokémon controversies

2024-01-12T14:02:43Z

Just a lurker: /* Gambling */Lottery is indeed a form of gambling. https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/guide/page/definition-of-a-lottery and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery#:~:text=A%20lottery%20(or%20lotto)%20is,regulation%20of%20lottery%20by%20governments.

<div style="clear: right; float:right">__TOC__</div>
There have been numerous '''controversies''' regarding the [[Pokémon]] franchise in its various forms and media.

==In the TCG==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
Members of the Jewish community accused [[Nintendo]] of using an offensive image in the Japanese version of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}}{{fact}}. The image in question features an omote manji, a left-facing version of the {{wp|swastika}}.

The Western world generally associates the swastika, or the ''Hakenkreuz'', with the {{wp|fascism|fascist}} and {{wp|racism|racist}} policies of {{wp|Nazi Germany}} during the course of {{wp|World War II}}, as well as hate, prejudice and {{wp|white supremacy}} in general. However, the swastika has its roots as a symbol of peace and good luck by many cultures. The earliest form of the swastika discovered was one used in Ancient India. It also was found in cultures that had no connection with India, such as Native American and First Nation cultures. It was because of its long and ancient history that {{wp|Adolf Hitler}} adopted it as the Nazi Party symbol, as he felt it to be—among other things—a connection to Aryan ancestors who lived in Ancient India.

Since World War II, however, its use has diminished, but it is still commonly used by other cultures who either didn't have any contact with the Nazis or who still identify the swastika more as a symbol of peace than as a symbol of hate. In India and its neighboring countries, the swastika represents love and mercy, as well as wealth and good fortune. In Asian countries, such as China, Japan, and South Korea, the swastika can be found on maps to represent Buddhist temples. In all of these nations, the swastika can also be found on all kinds of media, businesses, buildings, and clothing like any other symbol. However, this liberal use has led to international miscommunications, such as its use on the Japanese version of Koga's Ninja Trick.

==In the anime==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a Team Rocket fantasy involved [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s raising their hands in a manner somewhat similar to the {{wp|Nazi salute|Hitler salute}}. It was edited out in the English dub of the {{pkmn|anime}}, with the Grunts no longer raising their hands. Despite this, {{MTR}}'s arm remains unedited in the dub.

===Flashing lights===
[[EP038|An episode]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] broadcast in December 1997 on Japanese television induced {{wp|Photosensitive epilepsy|photosensitive}} {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s in a substantial number of Japanese viewers, many of which required medical assistance. As a result, {{DL|Banned episodes|Banned episodes internationally|the episode was not broadcast overseas and never shown in Japan again}}, and the incident caused the anime to go into a temporary hiatus. Every Pokémon episode that aired until this episode, including [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|the opening]], was edited by lighting certain scenes, removing or changing fast-flashing scenes and more. The original version of the episodes have never been shown again, except mistakenly on [[Hulu|Hulu Japan]]. For this, Pokémon currently holds the {{wp|Guinness World Records|Guinness Book World Record}} for the most photosensitive epileptic seizures caused by a TV show.

===Violence===
Although [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] and [[TAJ Productions|TAJ]] allow for some cartoon violence in the anime, the following episodes contain scenes that were deemed to be "too violent", and thus were cut from the English broadcast:
* ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'': {{an|Misty}} slapping {{Ash}} after he tells her he's okay, presumably because of his apparent lack of care for {{AP|Pikachu}}.
* ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'': Misty slapping Ash again due to his recklessness in sending out {{AP|Caterpie}} to battle a {{AP|Pidgeotto}}.
* ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'': Misty smashing {{an|Brock}} with a log because he says "To be continued..." rather than beginning the episode.
* [[EP035]]: Safari Zone Warden [[Kaiser]] repeatedly threatening Ash and the group with a revolver, and also firing at {{TRT}} when they trespass onto the {{safari|Kanto}} grounds, leading to the entire episode being [[banned episodes|banned]] outside of Asia.
* ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'': There are two separate shots of Poliwrath violently slapping Jessie; in one of those shots, she has red spots on her cheeks from Poliwrath's intense slapping. Both of these shots were deemed "too violent" and cut from the broadcast version and [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#Box sets|first US home video release]] and replaced with an impact animation. The version streamed on Pokémon TV and the [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#The Complete Collection|second US home video release]], however, leaves the shots in this episode intact.
* ''[[AG003|There's No Place Like Hoenn]]'': Two separate scenes showing [[James]]'s head and Max on fire due to {{TP|May|Torchic}}'s Ember attack were cut from the dub for being too violent.
* ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'': A {{p|Carvanha}} hitting Ash in the back of the head.
Scenes like these are common in Japanese animation, and are intended for comic relief purposes. They are similar to scenes in Western animation such as ''{{wp|Looney Tunes}}'' and ''{{wp|Tom and Jerry}}'', where characters get hit by extremely heavy objects and are completely fine afterwards.

==In the games==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. In the Japanese, Korean, and English releases, Registeel's arm is extended. In non-English European versions an altered sprite is used, depicting it with both of its arms down, presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Roman salute}}, infamously {{wp|Nazi salute|used}} by (and therefore commonly associated with) the German {{wp|Nazism|Nazi Party}}. In all versions of {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the revised sprite is used.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, if the player shows the Game Director at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] a Pokémon [[game of origin|originating]] from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, he gives them the [[Diploma|Time Travel Award]], featuring the Pokémon's original sprite from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Prior to v1.1.3, this award would use the original Japanese Pokémon Diamond and Pearl sprite for Registeel, although this award was not obtainable until [[Pokémon HOME]] support was added in v1.1.3 anyway; in v1.1.3, Registeel's sprite was replaced with the revised sprite used in Pokémon Platinum.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1473462097489104902</ref>

===Gambling===
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Game Corner.png|thumb|right|The Goldenrod Game Corner in Western HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
Over the years, there has been a growing distaste towards gambling and the exposure of it to minors. Due to the unpredictable “risk-it-all” nature of the activity and the high impressionability of youths, more and more people have voiced their opposition towards allowing minors to partake in gambling and/or gambling-esque activities, with simulated gambling in video games falling under particular scrutiny. As a result, the Pan-European Game Information ({{wp|PEGI}}) organization implemented stricter guidelines that limited simulated gambling first to older-skewing video games, starting in 2009, then eventually to adult-oriented games, starting in 2020,<ref>[https://gameworldobserver.com/2021/09/01/new-pegi-rating-criteria-labels-all-games-that-teach-or-encourage-gambling-18 New PEGI rating criteria labels all games that teach or encourage gambling 18+ | Game World Observer]</ref> and all games released in Europe featuring simulated gambling mechanics have been rated accordingly. While such restrictions are absent in other territories, many nations (the United States in particular) perceive gambling mechanics in video games as socially unacceptable, leading to the ''Pokémon'' games slowly phasing the concept out from [[Generation III]] onwards.

English releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the Gambler Trainer class to '''{{tc|PI|Gamer}}''' and removed gambling references from their dialogue. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed Gamblers once more but to '''{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}'''s instead; however, the references to gambling were kept.

In South Korea, the releases of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} replaced the [[slot machine]]s in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] with non-playable [[Slot machine#Korean Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum / European Platinum|game machines]]. These changes were later copied to the releases of Pokémon Platinum in Europe as a result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar] ([https://archive.today/mRcAt archived copy])</ref> This change has been greatly criticized by European players, who felt that it completely defeated the purpose and concept of the Game Corner.

All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]]. In this minigame, {{OBP|Coin|Game Corner}}s are not wagered against a win or a loss but instead given out for completing a level. While many people find the game to be entertaining, the change removed the ability to buy coins, making Voltorb Flip the only way to obtain them.

With one exception, all [[core series]] games since {{game|Black and White|s}} have not featured a Game Corner, remakes included. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down; the owner will instead provide the player with three dolls, originally obtained from an NPC inside the Game Corner. In {{LGPE}}, the [[Celadon Game Corner]] remains, due to its importance as the location of the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], but the slot machines have been replaced with non-playable arcade machines referencing other Pokémon games. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] was removed, and is replaced by the Metronome Style Shop, a clothing store that serves as a means for the player character to change outfits and hairstyles; though, a remix of the Veilstone Game Corner’s background music plays in the Style Shop.

In the [[Virtual Console]] re-releases of the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games, however, the Game Corner was left completely untouched, although the games did receive the higher-than-usual age rating of twelve and up by PEGI (compared to all other contemporary main-series titles, which PEGI gave a rating of seven and up).

There are other gambling methods that exist in later games, such as the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]],the [[Cram-o-matic]] and the [[Item Printer]]. The difference is that instead of having a chance to reward the player, these machines always provide the player with items instead of money, the only luck-based factor being the rarity of the obtained item.

In {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] was blocked for a while because it “promoted gambling and Zionism”.{{fact}}

{{pkmn|Egg}}s in [[Pokémon GO]] have been accused of being {{wp|loot boxes}}, which is a form of gambling.<ref>https://screenrant.com/pokemon-go-eggs-loot-boxes-gambling-money-incubator/</ref>

===Pokémon GO===
The sudden enormous popularity of [[Pokémon GO]] resulted in many controversies worldwide. Numerous organizations and companies complained about the spawning of Pokémon at places such as Holocaust and 9/11 memorials,<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/07/12/holocaust-museum-auschwitz-want-pokmon-go-hunts-stop-pokmon/86991810/ Holocaust Museum, Auschwitz want Pokémon Go hunts out]</ref><ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-07-12-holocaust-museum-pleads-stop-playing-pokemon-go-here Holocaust museum pleads: stop playing Pokémon Go here • Eurogamer.net]</ref> train rails,<ref>[http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/pokemon-go-dutch-rail-operator-tells-nintendo-change-game-after-players-wonder-onto-tracks-1570308 Pokemon Go players told to stay away from Amsterdam hospital and rail tracks]</ref> and while driving a car.<ref>[http://fortune.com/2016/09/18/pokemon-go-players-driving/ Tens of Thousands of People Are Driving While Playing Pokémon GO | Fortune]</ref> Several people worldwide have been killed or seriously injured in accidents related to playing the game.<ref>[http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-pokemon-go-encinitas-cliff-fall-2016jul13-story.html ‘Pokémon Go’ players fall off 90-foot ocean bluff — The San Diego Union-Tribune]</ref><ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3699722/Pokemon-sees-death-Teenager-18-killed-cousin-injured-playing-game-Guatamala.html Pokemon Go player killed in Guatemala and cousin injured while playing game | Daily Mail Online]</ref><ref>[https://www.theverge.com/2016/8/25/12637878/pokemon-go-driver-kills-woman-japan Driver distracted by Pokémon Go kills woman in Japan — The Verge]</ref>

===Sword and Shield Pokédex===
During the {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3}} 2019 Nintendo Treehouse live stream on June 11, 2019,<ref>[https://youtu.be/TmWu-f6L0Mo Nintendo Treehouse: Live | E3 2019] - Youtube</ref> [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that some species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (455 in total across [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VII}}) could not be transferred to {{g|Sword and Shield}}. After a massive amount of backlash from Pokémon fans (most of which involving the {{wp|hashtag}} #BringBackNationalDex), [[The Pokémon Company International]] posted a statement from Masuda in response on [[Pokémon.com]] in Japanese and English on June 28, 2019.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/a-message-for-pokemon-video-game-fans/ A Message for Pokémon Video Game Fans] - Pokémon.com</ref> Despite this reiterated statement, the fan backlash on social media continued, with many fans requesting that compatibility for all Pokémon be included in a post-launch patch. When asked about the possibility of a patch, Masuda stated that he had not yet finalized a decision on such a patch. The controversy became somewhat mitigated when the Expansion Pass was announced for the games, which added 221 of the missing Pokémon back in.

This controversy is sometimes known as {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|Dexit}}, a portmanteau of [[Pokédex]] and {{wp|Brexit}}, which was the withdrawal of the {{wp|United Kingdom}} (the basis of [[Galar]], the setting of Sword and Shield) from the {{wp|European Union}}.

===Pokémon UNITE===
When [[Pokémon UNITE]] was first announced, it quickly attracted controversy due to it being developed by a subsidiary of {{wp|Tencent}}, which was controversial due to its ties to the Chinese government. It also brought up a controversy that had been steadily growing about the use of {{wp|microtransactions}} in Pokémon games. As a result of these controversies, the Pokémon UNITE reveal quickly became the most disliked video on [[The Pokémon Company]]'s {{wp|YouTube}} channel.<ref>Oloman, Jordan (June 25, 2020). "[https://www.ign.com/articles/pokemon-unite-trailer-most-disliked-video Pokemon Unite Reveal Becomes The Pokemon Company's Most Disliked Video on YouTube]." ''IGN''.</ref>

==In multiple media==
===Racism===
====Jynx====
[[File:124Jynx RB.png|thumb|left|x200px|Jynx's original design]]
[[File:0124Jynx.png|thumb|200px|Jynx's current design]]
Following the American airing of ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' in 1999, {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, an African-American cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}} was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans, due to the Pokémon's black skin, and oversized facial features, which were typical in minstrel shows. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in the children's book ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', as well as calling Jynx "a dead ringer for an obese {{wp|Drag Queen}}", and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, another character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and all episodes featuring Jynx's original design were cut from international airings of the anime, including a sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''.

Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, starting with the international releases of {{g|Gold and Silver}} and being included in all versions of the games from [[Generation III]]-onwards. This change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the {{pkmn|anime}} starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}. Jynx's skin was also recolored to purple when ''Holiday Hi-Jynx'' finally saw a re-airing in Japan in 2012; nevertheless, the episode is still banned in the US due to the implications of African American-esque characters being subservient to a powerful Caucasian figure. The [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga published between 2005 and 2006 in English by [[Chuang Yi]] didn't change her color, and thus her original black design appears.

In recent years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion. Another theory is that Jynx is based on the Nordic goddess {{wp|Hel}}, who was often depicted as having a face half white-half black and who ruled {{wp|Niflheim}}, primarily depicted as a land of primordial ice and cold. Some fans say this is supported by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}. It has also been stated that Jynx is based on {{wp|Yama-uba}}, the mountain Crone.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8X3l_Tt8VE Game Theory: Pokemon Racism, Jynx Justified]</ref>

====Lenora====
[[File:BW014 comparison.png|thumb|200px|The change in the anime]]
The [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nacrene City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Lenora]], also brought up concerns of racism. Lenora's original artwork, as well as her in-game sprites, depict her wearing a large apron. Concerns arose that people outside of Japan would allude Lenora to the {{wp|Mammy stereotype}}. Similar to Lenora, the mammy is often depicted as a dark-skinned woman who wears a handkerchief on her head and an apron. Because of the similarity, Lenora's artwork was changed, from her wearing the apron to her having it slung over her shoulder like a cape. Despite this, Lenora's in-game sprites were not altered in the international releases of Pokémon Black and White or {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.

In the original version of ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', Lenora was depicted wearing her apron. When the English dub aired, her apron was removed completely.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Lenora is depicted with the apron over her shoulder in the first panel she appears in and she is not shown with it after that. In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, she is not depicted with an apron at all.

In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Lenora}} is not depicted with an apron.

===Animal cruelty===
In the past, several animal rights groups have tried to ban Pokémon, claiming that Pokémon battles closely resemble {{wp|cockfight}}s. This aspect of the controversy was actually touched upon in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

Upon the release of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, {{wp|People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals|PETA}} released a mock game named ''Pokémon Black and Blue''. In the game, the player controls the Pokémon to attack the opposing human. PETA claims that the way the Pokémon are "stuffed" into the [[Poké Ball]] is similar to how circus elephants are chained inside railroad carts. Nintendo responded to this by simply stating, "Nintendo and The Pokémon Company take the inappropriate use of our products and intellectual property seriously."<ref>[http://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack Nintendo responds to PETA’s Pokemon attack | canada.com] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180911211240/https://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack archived copy] )</ref> Around the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]], PETA released another mock game called ''Pokémon Red, White, and Blue'' that features Nintendo's claimed association with {{wp|McDonald's}} and also makes fun of the frequent release of sister games.

===Materialism and gender inequality===
The franchise has been accused of promoting {{wp|Economic materialism|materialism}}, {{wp|consumerism}}, and {{wp|gender inequality}}.<ref>[http://www.popmatters.com/review/pokemon-the-movie-2000/ Pokemon The Movie 2000 (2000) | PopMatters] ([https://archive.is/h4Mpw archived copy])</ref>

==In official events and tournaments==
===2024 World Championships location announcement===
At the end of the [[2023 World Championships]] on August 13, 2023, it was announced that next year's [[Pokémon World Championships]] will be held in {{wp|Honolulu}}, {{wp|Hawaii}}; it will be the fourth World Championships to be held in the US state. As it was announced in the wake of {{wp|2023 Hawaii wildfires|wildfires happening throughout Hawaii}} beginning early August 2023, this announcement has been met with criticism, with people citing issues with announcing the news during an ongoing tragedy and the over-tourism in Hawaii causing problems to the state as it tries to meet the tourism demand.<ref>Nightingale, Ed (August 14, 2023).

==Religion==
===Christianity===
====Satanism====
Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to {{wp|Satanism}}. The following is a summarized list of claims:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.<ref name="SToP">[http://www.withoneaccord.org/assets/images/freedownloads/StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf Straight Talk on Pokemon - StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf]</ref><ref>[https://gizmodo.com/isis-will-use-pokemon-go-to-murder-innocent-christians-1783680507 ISIS Will Use Pokémon Go to Murder Innocent Christians and Spawn Demons (Says Radio Host Pastor)]</ref>

*Pokémon [[evolution]] has often been criticized due to sharing the name with the {{wp|Evolution|scientific theory of evolution}} which fundamentalist creationists usually reject, although the phenomenon in Pokémon is closer to {{wp|metamorphosis}}.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=o7bsCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT38 Sociology of Religion for Generations X and Y - Adam Possamai - Google Books]</ref>
**Certain Pokémon evolutions require [[Evolution stone]]s, which are often seen as magical.<ref name="SToP" />

*Many Pokémon inherently involve East Asian spiritualism or mysticism, due to the franchise originating in Japan. Some Christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.<ref>[http://wildhunt.org/2016/07/pokemon-and-the-great-occult-scare.html Pokémon and the Great Occult Scare | The Wild Hunt]</ref><ref>[http://sureword.faithweb.com/pokemon.html Pokemon - Just Another Fad?]</ref>

**This has been referenced in a 1998 trivia board game.

*Pokémon causes homosexuality; the close relationship between the characters Ash and Brock was "a sign of the cartoon’s gay agenda".<ref>[http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2015/04/televangelist-creflo-dollar-claims-pokemon-causes-homosexuality/ Televangelist Creflo Dollar claims Pokemon causes homosexuality]</ref><ref>[http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16696.php GayNZ.com Pokemon 'turned teens gay' - preacher] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150709051450/http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16696.php archived copy])</ref>

In response to these claims, the {{wp|Vatican City}}-based {{wp|TV2000|Sat 2000}} broadcast public approval of Pokémon in April 2000, stating that the games did not have "any harmful moral side effects" and was based on "ties of intense friendship".<ref>[http://nypost.com/2000/04/21/pokemon-earns-papal-blessing/ POKEMON EARNS PAPAL BLESSING | New York Post] ([https://archive.today/5AVJL archived copy])</ref>

===Islam===
====Background====
[[File:Egyptian Newspaper Poké-fatwa smear-campaign.jpg|200x200px|thumb|The Poké-fatwa smear campaign reaching the headline page of an Egyptian newsparer on April 15, 2001. Title reads: It is forbidden for Muslims to interact with the Pokémon game.]]

On March 15, 2001, an anonymous user online claiming to be located in {{wp|Qatif}}, {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, posted a forum thread on the then big Arabic message-board site '''Montada''', making questionable claims of the [[Pokémon]] franchise being tied to {{wp|Darwinism}}, {{wp|Zionism}}, and {{wp|Satanism}}.

The post contained the following fabricated evidence of the character's names having anti-Islamic meanings and Zionist undertones when translated in English:
* [[Pokémon]] meaning '''I am a Jew'''.
* {{p|Pikachu}} meaning '''Be a Jew'''.
* {{p|Charmander}} meaning '''God is weak'''.
* {{p|Magikarp}} (misspelled as ''{{p|Magmar}}'') meaning '''God is stupid'''.
* {{p|Growlithe}} meaning '''God is lazy'''.

The following months would see those questionable claims get spread around by either word-of-mouth or anonymous printings of those very misleading rumors that originated off of that forum, which spiraled into a perplexing social smear campaign movement that succeeded in convincing a number of Arabic nations to outright ban and limit the presence of the Pokémon franchise, such as in {{wp|Egypt}}, where Mufti ''Nasser Fareed Wasel'' declared a ban on remotely interacting with any of its content on April 6, 2001.

====Claims of Zionist Jewish plot====
Some outspoken, fundamentalist Muslims claimed that Pokémon is a Jewish conspiracy intended to get Muslim children to renounce their faith.<ref>[http://www.cairoscene.com/LifeStyle/10-Egyptian-Conspiracy-Theories 10 Egyptian Conspiracy Theories]</ref><ref>[http://articles.latimes.com/2001/apr/24/news/mn-54861 Arabs See Jewish Conspiracy in Pokemon - latimes]</ref><ref>[http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html ADL denounces claim by Muslim leaders that Pokemon game is “Jewish Conspiracy" - Press Release] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160724034549/http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/saddam-hussein-tried-ban-pokemon-7732176 Saddam Hussein tried to ban POKEMON in Iraq for an utterly bizarre reason - Mirror Online]</ref> These same groups claimed that the word "Pokémon" means "I am Jewish", with the claimers and their followers generally unaware of the franchise's Japanese origin. The "Evolution vs. Creationism" conflict was also commonly brought up.<ref>[http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/691674/Saudi-Arabia-fatwa-Pokemon-GO-un-islamic-blasphemous-theory-of-natural-evolution Saudi Arabia issues fatwa against POKÉMON for being ‘un-Islamic’ and ‘blasphemous' | World | News | Express.co.uk]</ref><ref>[https://www.memri.org/tv/dubai-family-consultant-dr-khalifa-al-makhrazi-pok%C3%A9mon-go-prohibited-spreads-darwinism Dubai Family Consultant Dr. Khalifa Al-Makhrazi: Pokemon Go Is Prohibited, Spreads Darwinism | MEMRI]</ref><ref>[http://www.alifta.net/Fatawa/FatawaChapters.aspx?languagename=en&View=Page&PageID=10338&PageNo=1&BookID=7 Fatwas of the Permanent Committee]</ref>

In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise. It claimed that the franchise promoted {{wp|Zionism}} by displaying a six-pointed star that resembles the {{wp|Star of David}} as well as other religious symbols such as crosses they associated with {{wp|Christianity}} and triangles they associated with {{wp|Freemasonry}} in the TCG and encouraged gambling in the games due to the inclusion of gambling elements, which is in violation of {{wp|Islam|Muslim}} doctrine.<ref>[http://www.theescapist.com/pokemon13.htm The Escapist - Archive - Saudi Bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/wPWh6 archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1243307.stm BBC News | MIDDLE EAST | Saudi Arabia bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/9Hni1 archived copy])</ref>

High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1258633.stm BBC News | Middle East | Qatari religious leader bans Pokemon]</ref><ref>Peterson, Mark Allen. 'Anthropology & Mass Communication: Media and Myth in the New Millennium'. 2003. Print.</ref>

Despite the initial banning, which quickly wiped away [[Pokémon merchandise]], especially the card game, from markets in Saudi Arabia, Pokémon video games quickly returned to be sold normally, but under much less demand from local consumers. Some Pokémon merchandise, such as the {{OBP|Expedition Base Set|TCG}}, reappeared in certain stores a few years later, but newer sets were never brought. Games from [[Generation III]] on seem completely unaffected by the ban.

===Judaism===
In 1999, the Jewish civil rights group {{wp|Anti-Defamation League}} complained about [[Nintendo]]'s use of a {{wp|swastika}} (known as a ''manji'' in Japan, where it is used as a {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} symbol) in the Japanese print of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}}, because of the symbol's strong association with the German Nazi Party in the {{wp|Western world}}. Nintendo ceased manufacturing the card, a decision that was positively received by the group, which also understood that the symbol was not intended to offend and acknowledged the sensitivity that Nintendo had shown by removing the product.<ref>[http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-4525479.html `Swastika' Pokemon card dropped - Chicago Sun-Times | HighBeam Research] ([https://archive.is/cROTU archived copy])</ref>

==Legal issues==
Various lawsuits have been filed against [[Nintendo]], [[The Pokémon Company]], and related entities regarding [[Pokémon]] or Pokémon characters.

===Uri Geller===
[[File:064Kadabra RG.png|thumb|200px|Kadabra's official core game artwork at the time]]
On 2 November 2000, Israeli magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, known for his attribution of his spoon-bending tricks to alleged {{wp|psychic}} abilities, tried to sue Nintendo for £60 million, claiming that {{p|Kadabra}}, known as ''Yungerer'' in Japan, was an unauthorized parody of himself.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1003454.stm BBC News | ENTERTAINMENT | Geller sues Nintendo over Pokémon] ([https://archive.today/AhjVR archived copy])</ref><ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/29/2 Nintendo faces £60m writ from Uri Geller | UK News | The Guardian]</ref> Besides Kadabra's use of [[Twisted Spoon|bent spoons]] to enhance its {{t|psychic}} powers, the {{wp|katakana}} for its name (ユンゲラー) is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー). Another claim was that Kadabra's design is {{wp|Antisemitism|antisemitic}} in nature due to the star on its forehead and the lightning bolts resembling the logo of the {{wp|Waffen-SS}}. He is quoted as saying "Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image." The symbols themselves are taken from those used on {{wp|Zener cards}}, which have been used to conduct research into supposed psychic abilities since the 1930s.

As a result, for almost 20 years, there had not been a Kadabra card in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} since {{TCG|Skyridge}} in 2003, and Kadabra had not appeared in the Pokémon anime since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' in 2006, perhaps as a precaution against Geller's history of lawsuits. This is further hinted at by [[Masamitsu Hidaka]]'s interview with PokéBeach in July 2008,<ref>[http://pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points Second Interview with Masamitsu Hidaka – Many Interesting Points! (July 4th, 2008) « Website News « PokéBeach] ([https://archive.today/ApNJu archived copy])</ref> where he claimed that usage of Kadabra on a card is not allowed until an agreement was reached and that the case would not be settled anytime soon.

{{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} cards have continued to be printed, despite the fact that this makes it impossible to play Alakazam cards in matches that prevent the use of older cards (without using cards that specifically allows Alakazam to be played directly without evolving it from Kadabra, such as {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Rare Candy|88}}). However, the only {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} card released after {{tcg|Skyridge}}, in {{tcg|Mysterious Treasures}}, has an attack that allows it to evolve directly into Alakazam, skipping the Kadabra stage. Any {{TCG|Alakazam}} cards printed since were Basic Pokémon that didn't need to evolve from anything.

In November 2020, Uri Geller declared that he had rescinded the "ban" on Kadabra's depiction in the TCG, citing fan outcry.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/uri-geller-nintendo-permission-kadabra-pokemon-cards/ Uri Geller rescinds the ban on Kadabra's depiction in the TCG]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/TheUriGeller/status/1332794451727691777 Uri Geller's tweet regarding Kadabra's now-released ban]</ref> About a year later, Kadabra made its first appearance in animation since ''Fear Factor Phony'' in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]''. The first {{TCG ID|151|Kadabra|64}} card printed since Skyridge is included in the Japanese {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}} subset, released on June 16, 2023; and the English {{TCG|151}} expansion, releasing on September 22, 2023.

===Power Bouncer suffocation incident===
In January 1999, a 7-year-old boy suffocated to death after a Pokémon [[Power Bouncer]] ball became lodged in his throat while playing with it. After his death, his parents created a website named "Pokémon Kills", criticizing Hasbro and Pokémon for not taking appropriate safety measures in their product design.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000511143552/http://www.pokemonkills.com/ Pokémon Kills]</ref> In November 1999, the boy's parents filed a lawsuit against Hasbro and Toys "R" Us.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/13/nyregion/parents-of-boy-who-choked-to-death-on-pokemon-ball-file-suit.html Parents of Boy Who Choked to Death on Pokemon Ball File Suit | New York Times] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230924103450/https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/13/nyregion/parents-of-boy-who-choked-to-death-on-pokemon-ball-file-suit.html archive])</ref>

===Burger King toy suffocation incident===
In December 1999, as a promotion for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{wp|Burger King}} released a [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys|series of promotional toys]] in handheld [[Poké Ball]]s with their Kids' Meals. After a child suffocated because she had covered her mouth and nose with half of the Poké Ball, Burger King recalled the Poké Balls and exchanged them for food for a limited amount of time.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/581493.stm BBC News | AMERICAS | Burger King in Pokemon recall] ([https://archive.today/pffGd archived copy])</ref>

===Other lawsuits===
A parents' group attempted to sue manufacturers of collectible cards, including Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast, claiming that the cards' collectible nature and the random distribution of the cards in packs constitutes illegal gambling.<ref>[http://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/29/2 Nintendo faces £60m writ from Uri Geller | UK news | The Guardian] ([https://archive.today/XkBzu archived copy])</ref>

===Yasukuni Shrine visit===
On January 7, 2019, [[Creatures, Inc.]] posted a [https://twitter.com/Creatures_Inc/status/1082163512795815936 tweet]{{dead link}} showing several employees visiting {{wp|Yasukuni Shrine}}, a {{wp|Controversies surrounding Yasukuni Shrine|controversial}} shrine located in Tokyo, Japan.<ref>[https://kotaku.com/pokemon-studio-criticized-after-visiting-controversial-1831601511 ''Pokémon'' Studio Criticized After Visiting Controversial Shrine | Kotaku]</ref><ref>[https://comicbook.com/gaming/2019/01/09/pokemon-creatures-inc-yasukuni-shrine-controversy/ Pokemon Studio Under Fire For Visiting Controversial Shrine | ComicBook.com]</ref><ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-01-10/pokemon-creatures-inc-in-hot-water-over-visit-to-controversial-yasukuni-shrine/.141891 Pokémon's Creatures, Inc. in Hot Water Over Visit to Controversial Yasukuni Shrine | Anime News Network]</ref> The shrine, said by ''Shinto'' practitioners to house the souls of fallen soldiers who fought for Japan, has been the subject of scrutiny over the years for including 1,068 military officials convicted of {{wp|Japanese_war_crimes|various war crimes}} by the 1946 International Military Tribunal for the Far East, including 14 convicted {{wp|Class A war criminals}}. Following social media backlash from fans in {{pmin|South Korea}} and {{pmin|Greater China|China}} (two regions Japan colonized before World War II and conducted war crimes in), the tweet was deleted later that day. An apology was posted on January 22, 2019 in [https://www.creatures.co.jp/ug/ Japanese], [https://data1.pokemonkorea.co.kr/2019/01/2019-01-22_16-15-49-12858-1548141349.jpg Korean], and [https://cn.portal-pokemon.com/topics/event/190122150000_creatures.html Mandarin] on the Creatures website and the official Korean and Chinese Pokémon websites.

==Anime Reference==

Hello! Hope you're doing well. Regarding my latest edits, I wanted to clarify my point of view on the subject. I think the reference about the anime is clear in Pokémon Yellow (a game heavily inspired by the events of the anime), but unlikely in HG&SS, for as those games have had many other Pokémon added in that area (not just Pidgeotto and Pidgey). Hence, I am not sure if that would be a true reference in the remakes. [[User:Gust4vo|Gust4vo]] ([[User talk:Gust4vo|talk]]) 21:26, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Was it explicitly stated that Pidgeot returned to Ash's ownership?

== Ash's Gengar ==

I invite you to weigh in on the talk page of [[Ash's Gengar]] regarding your recent edit warring on that page. My talk page comment went unopposed for just short of 6 months and I then made an edit that was nonetheless a compromise with anyone who might disagree. It is against the Code of Conduct for you to reject the opportunity for conversation and undo good-faith edits without consulting the person you disagree with. --[[User:INTERNETFRIEND|INTERNETFRIEND]] ([[User talk:INTERNETFRIEND|talk]]) 00:40, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

before the series began i put that Liko's Sprigatito was first grass type starter to be own by a female main character and it got removed but someone else does it and its fine but when I put something similar it get removed twice. both litten and Sprigatito are called the cat pokemon of their type, wouldn't that be notable? do i have to word it differently?{{unsigned|CuteSylveon42}}

== EP099 ==

I really need to talk about this because it was something that was bothering me.

I have noticed you have been undoing my edits recently for EP099, and I feel the reasons you gave are insufficient and make no sense.

The first one in question is the Australian release unedited. My reason for editing the page is because I felt like the original sounded like the Australian versions were edited like the later Japanese releases. You undid my edit, saying it was mentioned above. I feel like the reasoning given was too vague, and no where does it say the Australian releases were unedited. It wasn't cut, yes, but it never said anything about it being edited.

And the most recent change I made a few days ago is regarding Lorelei's name being changed to Prima. My reasoning for rewording that part is because there was never a source about that, only speculation. I added that 4Kids may not realize that Lorelei already had an English name. But you also undid my edit, suggesting it was only speculation. This didn't make any sense to me because the syllable excuse is just as speculative. I am also questioning why it's wrong to mention anything speculative, but mentioning 4Kids changing her name because of lip flaps as fact without a source is okay?

I know SnorlaxMonster edited the page to match what I was trying to convey (with the same reasoning) and I am perfectly happy with the state of the page now, but I still wasn't happy that you undid my edits as if my reasoning was illegitimate. I didn't want to undo any of your edits, which is why I wanted to talk to you about it as it has bothered me for a while.[[User:JyuRaposa|JyuRaposa]] ([[User talk:JyuRaposa|talk]]) 07:34, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

== EP225 ==
Hello! I noticed that you undid my revision for EP225 of the Trivia I added. Are you able to recall a time that a Pokémon does an anime move error that is stated to be an error by someone in-universe? I forgot to mention that it also occurs in the ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' special but on the other hand, the Pokémon that does said error are clearly artificial Pokémon. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 02:59, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:In addition to that special, there is also a SM episode where a Pokémon's inability to learn a certain move is acknowledged. I figured three exceptions to the rule didn't count as trivia worthy. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:55, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:: Which Pokémon and move was this again? The only two incidents in the SM anime I can think of is acknowledging Rowlet not being able to use Bullet Seed (which it doesn't use) and Nebby using Supersonic (I'm not sure if anyone mentions that Nebby cannot use Supersonic). I personally believe that Mirage Pokémon special can be not counted considering that the Pokémon in question were artificial and were designed to exactly use those moves. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 09:13, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::I was referring to Rowlet. And the special still counts, as it acknowledges a Pokémon's inability to learn a certain move, regardless of the Pokémon being artificial or not. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:01, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::: I wouldn't really count the Rowlet one considering that it wasn't like he really used the move but for the Mirage Pokémon special, I'll quickly ask some of the moderators to see what they think. On another note, would it be better to reword the Trivia for AG170? I can see where you are coming from but at the same time, I think AG170 was really the only time Ash's Tauros was part of his active party for anything that isn't battling or tournaments. I count the Orange League as a Championship battle but I do agree that it isn't a tournament and could have been worded better. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 10:07, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::I'm not sure if there is a wording that wouldn't include too many "excepts". --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
::::::Given that Tauros was used in battle that episode, I find it hard to count it as being part of his active party for anything that isn't battling or tournaments, we briefly saw Kingler in Fire and Ice when it was eating, not being part of a battle.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 10:10, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

== Recent undoing ==
Hi Finnish! I noticed you've been quite active with editing some of my recent edits which I appreciate a lot and you're doing a good job! However, I've noticed you have been undoing some very minor edits of mine recently which are mostly just removing the overuse of "then". Are you able to tell me why you are undoing some of my more minor edits? Also, do NOT undo the TCG edits I am doing as I talked to MaverickNate about their structure and I need to fix those ones myself due to an error I made. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 13:43, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:I've simply felt that the sentence structure is better in those cases when the word "then" is used. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=JN137&diff=prev&oldid=3759447 here] the removal of the word implies that the chamber was already filled with cold air, when it was only filled with cold air afterwards. I can try to replaces those "thens" with other words, though, if you want. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:52, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:: That would be quite good if possible! I'm mostly removing "then" in some cases as some pages had as much as 39 instances of "then" being used a lot. The most notable pet peeve is when sentences start with something like "Ash then" or sentences go "Pikachu then uses Thunderbolt only for Raichu to then dodge before then using Iron Tail". I have noticed that your undos haven't been too constructive and that your editing is a lot better when you attempt to reword it yourself, so I would definitely recommend trying to reword things as you have been doing quite well so far today. There are obvious exceptions to when you shouldn't undo but based on your editing, I definitely encourage you to use other words! [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 13:58, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::Believe me, I've left many of your edits alone because removing the excessive use of that word is something I wholeheartedly support. It's just that sometimes, I feel the tense of the sentence suffers from the removal of the word. I'll try to work around it. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:02, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::: I had a look at your new revisions and they're looking pretty good! I'm giving you a heads-up that I'm going to edit some of the pages you undid and try to word them better on my end myself. By the time I'm done, hopefully the page is looking a lot better! I definitely feel that you're making a lot better progress when you edit it yourself rather than undo pages, so I wholeheartedly encourage you to try and reword things from here onwards and only use the undo button as a last resort. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 14:24, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::I hope you can understand that I'm not against your edits in general, just that I feel some sentences do work better with "then" being used. PS.

::::::I definitely understand where you are coming from with your edits as some of them have helped with wording and fact-checking.

[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 15:30, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::::IMO, some of your "then" removals are unnecessary.

::::::::I've been noting the unnecessary removals and have been more careful with what to remove and what not to remove recently. So far, your edits have been going fine so far but I definitely encourage you to edit out the mistakes rather than undoing as sometimes, it also reverts edits that were correct. I did see your message on your talkpage prior to when you left a new message on mine which is why I have been more careful recently. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 12:33, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::"Correct" is subjective, and I feel we don't always see eye to eye which "thens" are okay to stay and which aren't. For example, "<character> then <verb>" makes it clear the action they're taking happens after the action from the previous sentence, not simultaneously. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:41, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::Misworded what I meant as the use of "then" had nothing to do with what I was trying to say. When I meant correct, I was talking about using the undo button rather than editing a mistake manually. An example would be if someone made two edits being "Pikachu is Yellow" and "Raichu is Blue". The undo button would definitely be an issue as it removes the edit that is correct (Pikachu is Yellow) in the process of removing the wrong edit (Raichu is Blue). As for my edits, I'll be more careful in the future but feel free to message me if there is any frequent incorrect edits.

Sure, there was an exception, where more people joined in, but the trivia can be changed to say "in most episodes from this episode onward". In short, I feel it's repetitive to say Nidothing narrates the preview in every episode when the preview narrator is much more consistent than it was with Journeys.

I didn't know how to indicate this difference so I just left the page alone. -[[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 17:33, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
:Ah, my bad. Must've missed that detail, though I did suspect something because you hadn't edited that template. Should this difference be noted above the party instead of usinf the otherwise mostly identical template twice? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 17:39, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

==Pledging Tree==

Why do you think what I submitted was reaching it? The Pledging Tree and the presents are clearly a reference to Christmas. I know some may argue that the episode was going for a Valentine Day/ White Day route with Ash and Serena but the festival itself is in my eyes very Christmas-like and if that passage of text about Pikachu in Christmas lights in JN 94 qualifies as a Christmas mention, why this episode I cited don't? {{unsigned|Linooario64}}

== Iono Edit War ==
I've noticed that you and Lewtwo seem to be involved in an edit war over Masters images on Iono's page, whilst you are correct in saying these images would belong on Iono's Masters page, rather than reverting their edits. Going forward, could you use the talk pages rather than keep reverting edits or consult with an experienced admin about who is right--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 13:56, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

== Hi there! ==

Hi! I have a few things I wanted to discuss regarding your [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Perrin&diff=3884800&oldid=3884797 recent] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Perrin&diff=3892405&oldid=3892357 edits].

First, I wanted to convey that relatively new kinds of information that we don't normally include in articles, like what was removed in your recent edits, can have value and don't always need to be removed. Yes, info like this can be improved in many ways, but that doesn't diminish its potential value. If possible, it's better to improve the content instead of removing it outright. If you're just not sure you think it has value, you can always talk it out with whoever added it, or on the talk page of the article in question, just to get that other perspective.

Second, regarding your general editing habits, including edits like [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Exeggutor_Island&diff=3822646&oldid=3822642 these] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Exeggutor_Island&diff=3827886&oldid=3827837 ones] as well, that it may be important to consider that if you need to make the same edit twice to a page (or even if you just feel the urge to do so), that this may signal the need to discuss the content on the relevant talk page or with the other user(s) involved.

Overall, using the tools the wiki gives us to discuss changes (edit summaries, talk pages, etc.) to best reach resolutions that are most agreeable to everyone, while possibly slowing down the pace of things, generally results in an experience more pleasurable for everyone. I hope you can take these things into consideration in your future editing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or another [[staff]] member. Otherwise, happy editing (and happy new year!) [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 06:10, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
:Oh and one more thing I'd like to suggest is adding cleanup tags and other {{cat|notice templates}} to pages/sections that you feel could use improvement, but may not have the time, energy, or know-how to resolve in the moment, rather than removing the content entirely or reverting it outright. Hope this helps! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 07:13, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
::1) Okay. I'll try to get used to it.
::2) I had completely forgotten about that reversion already. Didn't feel it was notable. I consider the situation a problem if a third reversion would be required, at which point I start resorting to talk pages.
::3) I am aware of the tools I can use, and I tend to use them whenever I feel it is necessary.
::Happy New Year. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:38, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

== Pokemon World Tournament Junior Cup/Gym Leaders ==

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_World_Tournament&action=edit&undoafter=3897245&undo=3897313

I had forgotten how inconvenient this is.

''Two separate competitions.''

Yes, my dear, that's exactly why one is called the Junior Cup and the other isn't. Let me explain, "Junior Cup" is a term used for smaller competitions of larger competitions that are generally mostly for children or teenagers (exactly the audience that participated in the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup). You can search the term on Google if you prefer.

Furthermore, all the other information I included came from the episodes themselves, Cynthia and Alder participated in the event as part of the team, one in the preparation and dismantling of the event and the other as a commentator. This was said and shown in the episodes themselves.

Cynthia said that the event is open to everyone in the same episode where she met Ash in Unova. I check the information directly from the Japanese episodes. So what exactly is the point of undoing absolutely everything from that edit?

Now I would ask you where it was said that the Tournament that Ash and company participated in Unova is not related to the PWT, but I think that would be too much, right?

Regarding the edit of the Gym Leader page, I have already expressly spoken to an admin that if I can increase a page instead of creating another, I am free. So it would be nice for you to use something other than your personal opinion to undo an almost 2-hour edit of something that was used to try to put more content on the page.

I'm not even going to undo the edits, since the last thing I want is to get into an edit war, but I'm leaving my opinion here.--{{unsigned|Hikaru Wazana}}
:No need to be rude or sarcastic, please. Regarding the PWT, I do not recall anyone during that arc stating out loud that the Junior Cup is directly related to the main tournament in anything but name. As for the Gym Leader edit, I was not aware that you had admin permission for expanding the page to such a degree. At that moment, I just felt that listing all the current Gym Leaders in the anime like that would be excessive. And as far as I'm concerned, edit war does not start until one side makes multiple, repeated reversions. So in case you want to return those edits, go ahead, and I'll edit them in ways that don't involve total reversion. PS. This is just a personal preference, but the page is easier to read for the editor if you leave an empty row between a paragraph and the next section header. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:35, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

==Images==

Please do not add "official artwork from" to gallery tables when the when the gallery section header is already "artwork". 
Please do not change "model" to "VS Model". They aren't a thing that exists, it's just their pose when they begin a battle, using their existing model used throughout every instance in the game. --[[User:Lewtwo|Lewtwo]] ([[User talk:Lewtwo|talk]]) 20:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
:"Official artwork from" is a thing that's always been present in galleries. It specifies what kind of artwork it is. And "VS model" is a thing that's used to specify the 3D models we see what a Trainer in a 3D Pokémon game is challenged to a battle, to differentiate them from overworld and in-battle models. I feel you're making this a much bigger problem than it actually is. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:20, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
:: '''-''' The overworld and in-battle models have been the same since LGPE, therefore, there is no distinction. Currently, the way it reads is as if the model within the battle, when you're '''"VS"''' them, is different to how it usually is, which is not true. Calling it '''"model"''' simply avoids confusion, and is clear, direct, and to the point. '''"VS Model"''' is also a fan-made term that does not actually exist within the context of the series. '''-''' '''"Official artwork from"''' is not needed, because the gallery sections have changed since the site began. They now have their own '''artwork''' sub-heading, which means we do not need to specify that it is artwork in a table exclusively for artwork. We only do not upload unofficial or fan-made images on anything that isn't a Project Fandom page, which means that we do not need to specify that the artwork is '''official.''' --[[User:Lewtwo|Lewtwo]] ([[User talk:Lewtwo|talk]]) 20:31, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
::: '''-''' Additionally, how am I making it a bigger problem than it actually is? I'm just changing your edit, and leaving a message on your talk page. This is standard site practice. --[[User:Lewtwo|Lewtwo]] ([[User talk:Lewtwo|talk]]) 20:33, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
::::Looking at [[Special:Diff/3898892|Crispin]], I'd say that I don't know how "official" does anything very useful (and at that point, "artwork" also becomes redundant). As far as the model, I think it would be entirely fair to specify that it's the model in their VS pose or battle or something. Y'all can work out something you like, but I don't think it fundamentally has to be just "model". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:37, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Just a lurker: /* Gambling */Added other gambling methods.

<div style="clear: right; float:right">__TOC__</div>
There have been numerous '''controversies''' regarding the [[Pokémon]] franchise in its various forms and media.

==In the TCG==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
Members of the Jewish community accused [[Nintendo]] of using an offensive image in the Japanese version of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}}{{fact}}. The image in question features an omote manji, a left-facing version of the {{wp|swastika}}.

The Western world generally associates the swastika, or the ''Hakenkreuz'', with the {{wp|fascism|fascist}} and {{wp|racism|racist}} policies of {{wp|Nazi Germany}} during the course of {{wp|World War II}}, as well as hate, prejudice and {{wp|white supremacy}} in general. However, the swastika has its roots as a symbol of peace and good luck by many cultures. The earliest form of the swastika discovered was one used in Ancient India. It also was found in cultures that had no connection with India, such as Native American and First Nation cultures. It was because of its long and ancient history that {{wp|Adolf Hitler}} adopted it as the Nazi Party symbol, as he felt it to be—among other things—a connection to Aryan ancestors who lived in Ancient India.

Since World War II, however, its use has diminished, but it is still commonly used by other cultures who either didn't have any contact with the Nazis or who still identify the swastika more as a symbol of peace than as a symbol of hate. In India and its neighboring countries, the swastika represents love and mercy, as well as wealth and good fortune. In Asian countries, such as China, Japan, and South Korea, the swastika can be found on maps to represent Buddhist temples. In all of these nations, the swastika can also be found on all kinds of media, businesses, buildings, and clothing like any other symbol. However, this liberal use has led to international miscommunications, such as its use on the Japanese version of Koga's Ninja Trick.

==In the anime==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a Team Rocket fantasy involved [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s raising their hands in a manner somewhat similar to the {{wp|Nazi salute|Hitler salute}}. It was edited out in the English dub of the {{pkmn|anime}}, with the Grunts no longer raising their hands. Despite this, {{MTR}}'s arm remains unedited in the dub.

===Flashing lights===
[[EP038|An episode]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] broadcast in December 1997 on Japanese television induced {{wp|Photosensitive epilepsy|photosensitive}} {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s in a substantial number of Japanese viewers, many of which required medical assistance. As a result, {{DL|Banned episodes|Banned episodes internationally|the episode was not broadcast overseas and never shown in Japan again}}, and the incident caused the anime to go into a temporary hiatus. Every Pokémon episode that aired until this episode, including [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|the opening]], was edited by lighting certain scenes, removing or changing fast-flashing scenes and more. The original version of the episodes have never been shown again, except mistakenly on [[Hulu|Hulu Japan]]. For this, Pokémon currently holds the {{wp|Guinness World Records|Guinness Book World Record}} for the most photosensitive epileptic seizures caused by a TV show.

===Violence===
Although [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] and [[TAJ Productions|TAJ]] allow for some cartoon violence in the anime, the following episodes contain scenes that were deemed to be "too violent", and thus were cut from the English broadcast:
* ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'': {{an|Misty}} slapping {{Ash}} after he tells her he's okay, presumably because of his apparent lack of care for {{AP|Pikachu}}.
* ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'': Misty slapping Ash again due to his recklessness in sending out {{AP|Caterpie}} to battle a {{AP|Pidgeotto}}.
* ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'': Misty smashing {{an|Brock}} with a log because he says "To be continued..." rather than beginning the episode.
* [[EP035]]: Safari Zone Warden [[Kaiser]] repeatedly threatening Ash and the group with a revolver, and also firing at {{TRT}} when they trespass onto the {{safari|Kanto}} grounds, leading to the entire episode being [[banned episodes|banned]] outside of Asia.
* ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'': There are two separate shots of Poliwrath violently slapping Jessie; in one of those shots, she has red spots on her cheeks from Poliwrath's intense slapping. Both of these shots were deemed "too violent" and cut from the broadcast version and [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#Box sets|first US home video release]] and replaced with an impact animation. The version streamed on Pokémon TV and the [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#The Complete Collection|second US home video release]], however, leaves the shots in this episode intact.
* ''[[AG003|There's No Place Like Hoenn]]'': Two separate scenes showing [[James]]'s head and Max on fire due to {{TP|May|Torchic}}'s Ember attack were cut from the dub for being too violent.
* ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'': A {{p|Carvanha}} hitting Ash in the back of the head.
Scenes like these are common in Japanese animation, and are intended for comic relief purposes. They are similar to scenes in Western animation such as ''{{wp|Looney Tunes}}'' and ''{{wp|Tom and Jerry}}'', where characters get hit by extremely heavy objects and are completely fine afterwards.
{{-}}

==In the games==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. In the Japanese, Korean, and English releases, Registeel's arm is extended. In non-English European versions an altered sprite is used, depicting it with both of its arms down, presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Roman salute}}, infamously {{wp|Nazi salute|used}} by (and therefore commonly associated with) the German {{wp|Nazism|Nazi Party}}. In all versions of {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the revised sprite is used.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, if the player shows the Game Director at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] a Pokémon [[game of origin|originating]] from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, he gives them the [[Diploma|Time Travel Award]], featuring the Pokémon's original sprite from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Prior to v1.1.3, this award would use the original Japanese Pokémon Diamond and Pearl sprite for Registeel, although this award was not obtainable until [[Pokémon HOME]] support was added in v1.1.3 anyway; in v1.1.3, Registeel's sprite was replaced with the revised sprite used in Pokémon Platinum.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1473462097489104902</ref>

===Gambling===
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Game Corner.png|thumb|right|The Goldenrod Game Corner in Western HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
Over the years, there has been a growing distaste towards gambling and the exposure of it to minors. Due to the unpredictable “risk-it-all” nature of the activity and the high impressionability of youths, more and more people have voiced their opposition towards allowing minors to partake in gambling and/or gambling-esque activities, with simulated gambling in video games falling under particular scrutiny. As a result, the Pan-European Game Information ({{wp|PEGI}}) organization implemented stricter guidelines that limited simulated gambling first to older-skewing video games, starting in 2009, then eventually to adult-oriented games, starting in 2020,<ref>[https://gameworldobserver.com/2021/09/01/new-pegi-rating-criteria-labels-all-games-that-teach-or-encourage-gambling-18 New PEGI rating criteria labels all games that teach or encourage gambling 18+ | Game World Observer]</ref> and all games released in Europe featuring simulated gambling mechanics have been rated accordingly. While such restrictions are absent in other territories, many nations (the United States in particular) perceive gambling mechanics in video games as socially unacceptable, leading to the ''Pokémon'' games slowly phasing the concept out from [[Generation III]] onwards.

English releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the Gambler Trainer class to '''{{tc|PI|Gamer}}''' and removed gambling references from their dialogue. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed Gamblers once more but to '''{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}'''s instead; however, the references to gambling were kept.

In South Korea, the releases of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} replaced the [[slot machine]]s in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] with non-playable [[Slot machine#Korean Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum / European Platinum|game machines]]. These changes were later copied to the releases of Pokémon Platinum in Europe as a result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar] ([https://archive.today/mRcAt archived copy])</ref> This change has been greatly criticized by European players, who felt that it completely defeated the purpose and concept of the Game Corner.

All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]]. In this minigame, {{OBP|Coin|Game Corner}}s are not wagered against a win or a loss but instead given out for completing a level. While many people find the game to be entertaining, the change removed the ability to buy coins, making Voltorb Flip the only way to obtain them.

With one exception, all [[core series]] games since {{game|Black and White|s}} have not featured a Game Corner, remakes included. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down; the owner will instead provide the player with three dolls, originally obtained from an NPC inside the Game Corner. In {{LGPE}}, the [[Celadon Game Corner]] remains, due to its importance as the location of the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], but the slot machines have been replaced with non-playable arcade machines referencing other Pokémon games. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] was removed, and is replaced by the Metronome Style Shop, a clothing store that serves as a means for the player character to change outfits and hairstyles; though, a remix of the Veilstone Game Corner’s background music plays in the Style Shop.

In the [[Virtual Console]] re-releases of the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games, however, the Game Corner was left completely untouched, although the games did receive the higher-than-usual age rating of twelve and up by PEGI (compared to all other contemporary main-series titles, which PEGI gave a rating of seven and up).

There are other gambling methods such as the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]], the [[Cram-o-matic]] and the [[Item Printer]] that continue to exist through out the games. But the difference with the Cram-o-matic and the Item Printer versus other methods is the player will always be rewarded with random items or pokéballs.

In {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] was blocked for a while because it “promoted gambling and Zionism”.{{fact}}

{{pkmn|Egg}}s in [[Pokémon GO]] have been accused of being {{wp|loot boxes}}, which is a form of gambling.<ref>https://screenrant.com/pokemon-go-eggs-loot-boxes-gambling-money-incubator/</ref>

===Sword and Shield Pokédex===
During the {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3}} 2019 Nintendo Treehouse live stream on June 11, 2019,<ref>[https://youtu.be/TmWu-f6L0Mo Nintendo Treehouse: Live | E3 2019] - Youtube</ref> [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that some species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (455 in total across [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VII}}) could not be transferred to {{g|Sword and Shield}}. After a massive amount of backlash from Pokémon fans (most of which involving the {{wp|hashtag}} #BringBackNationalDex), [[The Pokémon Company International]] posted a statement from Masuda in response on [[Pokémon.com]] in Japanese and English on June 28, 2019.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/a-message-for-pokemon-video-game-fans/ A Message for Pokémon Video Game Fans] - Pokémon.com</ref> Despite this reiterated statement, the fan backlash on social media continued, with many fans requesting that compatibility for all Pokémon be included in a post-launch patch. When asked about the possibility of a patch, Masuda stated that he had not yet finalized a decision on such a patch. The controversy became somewhat mitigated when the Expansion Pass was announced for the games, which added 221 of the missing Pokémon back in.

This controversy is sometimes known as {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|Dexit}}, a portmanteau of [[Pokédex]] and {{wp|Brexit}}, which was the withdrawal of the {{wp|United Kingdom}} (the basis of [[Galar]], the setting of Sword and Shield) from the {{wp|European Union}}.

===Pokémon UNITE===
When [[Pokémon UNITE]] was first announced, it quickly attracted controversy due to it being developed by a subsidiary of {{wp|Tencent}}, which was controversial due to its ties to the Chinese government. It also brought up a controversy that had been steadily growing about the use of {{wp|microtransactions}} in Pokémon games. As a result of these controversies, the Pokémon UNITE reveal quickly became the most disliked video on [[The Pokémon Company]]'s {{wp|YouTube}} channel.<ref>Oloman, Jordan (June 25, 2020). "[https://www.ign.com/articles/pokemon-unite-trailer-most-disliked-video Pokemon Unite Reveal Becomes The Pokemon Company's Most Disliked Video on YouTube]." ''IGN''.</ref>

==In multiple media==
===Racism===
====Jynx====
[[File:124Jynx RB.png|thumb|left|x200px|Jynx's original design]]
[[File:0124Jynx.png|thumb|200px|Jynx's current design]]
Following the American airing of ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' in 1999, {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, an African-American cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}} was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans, due to the Pokémon's black skin, and oversized facial features, which were typical in minstrel shows. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in the children's book ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', as well as calling Jynx "a dead ringer for an obese {{wp|Drag Queen}}", and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, another character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and all episodes featuring Jynx's original design were cut from international airings of the anime, including a sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''.

Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, starting with the international releases of {{g|Gold and Silver}} and being included in all versions of the games from [[Generation III]]-onwards. This change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the {{pkmn|anime}} starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}. Jynx's skin was also recolored to purple when ''Holiday Hi-Jynx'' finally saw a re-airing in Japan in 2012; nevertheless, the episode is still banned in the US due to the implications of African American-esque characters being subservient to a powerful Caucasian figure. The [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga published between 2005 and 2006 in English by [[Chuang Yi]] didn't change her color, and thus her original black design appears.

In recent years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion. Another theory is that Jynx is based on the Nordic goddess {{wp|Hel}}, who was often depicted as having a face half white-half black and who ruled {{wp|Niflheim}}, primarily depicted as a land of primordial ice and cold. Some fans say this is supported by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}. It has also been stated that Jynx is based on {{wp|Yama-uba}}, the mountain Crone.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8X3l_Tt8VE Game Theory: Pokemon Racism, Jynx Justified]</ref>

====Lenora====
[[File:BW014 comparison.png|thumb|200px|The change in the anime]]
The [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nacrene City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Lenora]], also brought up concerns of racism. Lenora's original artwork, as well as her in-game sprites, depict her wearing a large apron. Concerns arose that people outside of Japan would allude Lenora to the {{wp|Mammy stereotype}}. Similar to Lenora, the mammy is often depicted as a dark-skinned woman who wears a handkerchief on her head and an apron. Because of the similarity, Lenora's artwork was changed, from her wearing the apron to her having it slung over her shoulder like a cape. Despite this, Lenora's in-game sprites were not altered in the international releases of Pokémon Black and White or {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.

In the original version of ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', Lenora was depicted wearing her apron. When the English dub aired, her apron was removed completely.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Lenora is depicted with the apron over her shoulder in the first panel she appears in and she is not shown with it after that. In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, she is not depicted with an apron at all.

In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Lenora}} is not depicted with an apron.

===Animal cruelty===
In the past, several animal rights groups have tried to ban Pokémon, claiming that Pokémon battles closely resemble {{wp|cockfight}}s. This aspect of the controversy was actually touched upon in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

Upon the release of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, {{wp|People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals|PETA}} released a mock game named ''Pokémon Black and Blue''. In the game, the player controls the Pokémon to attack the opposing human. PETA claims that the way the Pokémon are "stuffed" into the [[Poké Ball]] is similar to how circus elephants are chained inside railroad carts. Nintendo responded to this by simply stating, "Nintendo and The Pokémon Company take the inappropriate use of our products and intellectual property seriously."<ref>[http://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack Nintendo responds to PETA’s Pokemon attack | canada.com] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180911211240/https://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack archived copy] )</ref> Around the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]], PETA released another mock game called ''Pokémon Red, White, and Blue'' that features Nintendo's claimed association with {{wp|McDonald's}} and also makes fun of the frequent release of sister games.

===Materialism and gender inequality===
The franchise has been accused of promoting {{wp|Economic materialism|materialism}}, {{wp|consumerism}}, and {{wp|gender inequality}}.<ref>[http://www.popmatters.com/review/pokemon-the-movie-2000/ Pokemon The Movie 2000 (2000) | PopMatters] ([https://archive.is/h4Mpw archived copy])</ref>

==In official events and tournaments==
===2024 World Championships location announcement===
At the end of the [[2023 World Championships]] on August 13, 2023, it was announced that next year's [[Pokémon World Championships]] will be held in {{wp|Honolulu}}, {{wp|Hawaii}}; it will be the fourth World Championships to be held in the US state. As it was announced in the wake of {{wp|2023 Hawaii wildfires|wildfires happening throughout Hawaii}} beginning early August 2023, this announcement has been met with criticism, with people citing issues with announcing the news during an ongoing tragedy and the over-tourism in Hawaii causing problems to the state as it tries to meet the tourism demand.<ref>Nightingale, Ed (August 14, 2023). "[https://www.eurogamer.net/the-pokemon-company-donates-200k-to-hawaii-after-announcing-it-as-2024-tournament-location The Pokémon Company donates $200k to Hawaii after announcing it as 2024 tournament location]."

==Religion==
===Christianity===
====Satanism====
Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to {{wp|Satanism}}. The following is a summarized list of claims:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.<ref name="SToP">[http://www.withoneaccord.org/assets/images/freedownloads/StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf Straight Talk on Pokemon - StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf]</ref><ref>[https://gizmodo.com/isis-will-use-pokemon-go-to-murder-innocent-christians-1783680507 ISIS Will Use Pokémon Go to Murder Innocent Christians and Spawn Demons (Says Radio Host Pastor)]</ref>

*Pokémon [[evolution]] has often been criticized due to sharing the name with the {{wp|Evolution|scientific theory of evolution}} which fundamentalist creationists usually reject, although the phenomenon in Pokémon is closer to {{wp|metamorphosis}}.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=o7bsCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT38 Sociology of Religion for Generations X and Y - Adam Possamai - Google Books]</ref>
**Certain Pokémon evolutions require [[Evolution stone]]s, which are often seen as magical.<ref name="SToP" />
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type|Psychic}}s and {{type|Ghost}}s.<ref>[http://www.christiananswers.net/spotlight/games/2000/pokemon.html POKÉMON | a game review from Christian Spotlight]</ref><ref>[https://www.probe.org/pokemon/ Pokemon - A Christian Assessment]</ref><ref>[http://www1.cbn.com/onlinediscipleship/pok%26eacute%3Bmon%2C-harry-potter%2C-and-the-magic-of-story Pokémon, Harry Potter, and the Magic of Story | CBN.com]</ref>
*Many Pokémon inherently involve East Asian spiritualism or mysticism, due to the franchise originating in Japan. Some Christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.<ref>[http://wildhunt.org/2016/07/pokemon-and-the-great-occult-scare.html Pokémon and the Great Occult Scare | The Wild Hunt]</ref><ref>[http://sureword.faithweb.com/pokemon.html Pokemon - Just Another Fad?]</ref>

**This has been referenced in a 1998 trivia board game.

*Pokémon causes homosexuality; the close relationship between the characters Ash and Brock was "a sign of the cartoon’s gay agenda".<ref>[http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2015/04/televangelist-creflo-dollar-claims-pokemon-causes-homosexuality/ Televangelist Creflo Dollar claims Pokemon causes homosexuality]</ref><ref>[http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16696.php GayNZ.com Pokemon 'turned teens gay' - preacher] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150709051450/http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16696.php archived copy])</ref>

In response to these claims, the {{wp|Vatican City}}-based {{wp|TV2000|Sat 2000}} broadcast public approval of Pokémon in April 2000, stating that the games did not have "any harmful moral side effects" and was based on "ties of intense friendship".<ref>[http://nypost.com/2000/04/21/pokemon-earns-papal-blessing/ POKEMON EARNS PAPAL BLESSING | New York Post] ([https://archive.today/5AVJL archived copy])</ref>

===Islam===
====Background====
[[File:Egyptian Newspaper Poké-fatwa smear-campaign.jpg|200x200px|thumb|The Poké-fatwa smear campaign reaching the headline page of an Egyptian newsparer on April 15, 2001. Title reads: It is forbidden for Muslims to interact with the Pokémon game.]]

On March 15, 2001, an anonymous user online claiming to be located in {{wp|Qatif}}, {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, posted a forum thread on the then big Arabic message-board site '''Montada''', making questionable claims of the [[Pokémon]] franchise being tied to {{wp|Darwinism}}, {{wp|Zionism}}, and {{wp|Satanism}}.

The post contained the following fabricated evidence of the character's names having anti-Islamic meanings and Zionist undertones when translated in English:
* [[Pokémon]] meaning '''I am a Jew'''.
* {{p|Pikachu}} meaning '''Be a Jew'''.
* {{p|Charmander}} meaning '''God is weak'''.
* {{p|Magikarp}} (misspelled as ''{{p|Magmar}}'') meaning '''God is stupid'''.
* {{p|Growlithe}} meaning '''God is lazy'''.

The following months would see those questionable claims get spread around by either word-of-mouth or anonymous printings of those very misleading rumors that originated off of that forum, which spiraled into a perplexing social smear campaign movement that succeeded in convincing a number of Arabic nations to outright ban and limit the presence of the Pokémon franchise, such as in {{wp|Egypt}}, where Mufti ''Nasser Fareed Wasel'' declared a ban on remotely interacting with any of its content on April 6, 2001.

====Claims of Zionist Jewish plot====
Some outspoken, fundamentalist Muslims claimed that Pokémon is a Jewish conspiracy intended to get Muslim children to renounce their faith.<ref>[http://www.cairoscene.com/LifeStyle/10-Egyptian-Conspiracy-Theories 10 Egyptian Conspiracy Theories]</ref><ref>[http://articles.latimes.com/2001/apr/24/news/mn-54861 Arabs See Jewish Conspiracy in Pokemon - latimes]</ref><ref>[http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html ADL denounces claim by Muslim leaders that Pokemon game is “Jewish Conspiracy" - Press Release] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160724034549/http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/saddam-hussein-tried-ban-pokemon-7732176 Saddam Hussein tried to ban POKEMON in Iraq for an utterly bizarre reason - Mirror Online]</ref> These same groups claimed that the word "Pokémon" means "I am Jewish", with the claimers and their followers generally unaware of the franchise's Japanese origin. The "Evolution vs. Creationism" conflict was also commonly brought up.<ref>[http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/691674/Saudi-Arabia-fatwa-Pokemon-GO-un-islamic-blasphemous-theory-of-natural-evolution Saudi Arabia issues fatwa against POKÉMON for being ‘un-Islamic’ and ‘blasphemous' | World | News | Express.co.uk]</ref><ref>[https://www.memri.org/tv/dubai-family-consultant-dr-khalifa-al-makhrazi-pok%C3%A9mon-go-prohibited-spreads-darwinism Dubai Family Consultant Dr. Khalifa Al-Makhrazi: Pokemon Go Is Prohibited, Spreads Darwinism | MEMRI]</ref><ref>[http://www.alifta.net/Fatawa/FatawaChapters.aspx?languagename=en&View=Page&PageID=10338&PageNo=1&BookID=7 Fatwas of the Permanent Committee]</ref>

In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise. It claimed that the franchise promoted {{wp|Zionism}} by displaying a six-pointed star that resembles the {{wp|Star of David}} as well as other religious symbols such as crosses they associated with {{wp|Christianity}} and triangles they associated with {{wp|Freemasonry}} in the TCG and encouraged gambling in the games due to the inclusion of gambling elements, which is in violation of {{wp|Islam|Muslim}} doctrine.<ref>[http://www.theescapist.com/pokemon13.htm The Escapist - Archive - Saudi Bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/wPWh6 archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1243307.stm BBC News | MIDDLE EAST | Saudi Arabia bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/9Hni1 archived copy])</ref>

High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1258633.stm BBC News | Middle East | Qatari religious leader bans Pokemon]</ref><ref>Peterson, Mark Allen. 'Anthropology & Mass Communication: Media and Myth in the New Millennium'. 2003. Print.</ref>

Despite the initial banning, which quickly wiped away [[Pokémon merchandise]], especially the card game, from markets in Saudi Arabia, Pokémon video games quickly returned to be sold normally, but under much less demand from local consumers. Some Pokémon merchandise, such as the {{OBP|Expedition Base Set|TCG}}, reappeared in certain stores a few years later, but newer sets were never brought. Games from [[Generation III]] on seem completely unaffected by the ban.

===Judaism===
In 1999, the Jewish civil rights group {{wp|Anti-Defamation League}} complained about [[Nintendo]]'s use of a {{wp|swastika}} (known as a ''manji'' in Japan, where it is used as a {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} symbol) in the Japanese print of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}}, because of the symbol's strong association with the German Nazi Party in the {{wp|Western world}}. Nintendo ceased manufacturing the card, a decision that was positively received by the group, which also understood that the symbol was not intended to offend and acknowledged the sensitivity that Nintendo had shown by removing the product.<ref>[http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-4525479.html `Swastika' Pokemon card dropped - Chicago Sun-Times | HighBeam Research] ([https://archive.is/cROTU archived copy])</ref>

==Legal issues==
Various lawsuits have been filed against [[Nintendo]], [[The Pokémon Company]], and related entities regarding [[Pokémon]] or Pokémon characters.

===Uri Geller===
[[File:064Kadabra RG.png|thumb|200px|Kadabra's official core game artwork at the time]]
On 2 November 2000, Israeli magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, known for his attribution of his spoon-bending tricks to alleged {{wp|psychic}} abilities, tried to sue Nintendo for £60 million, claiming that {{p|Kadabra}}, known as ''Yungerer'' in Japan, was an unauthorized parody of himself.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1003454.stm BBC News | ENTERTAINMENT | Geller sues Nintendo over Pokémon] ([https://archive.today/AhjVR archived copy])</ref><ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/29/2 Nintendo faces £60m writ from Uri Geller | UK News | The Guardian]</ref> Besides Kadabra's use of [[Twisted Spoon|bent spoons]] to enhance its {{t|psychic}} powers, the {{wp|katakana}} for its name (ユンゲラー) is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー). Another claim was that Kadabra's design is {{wp|Antisemitism|antisemitic}} in nature due to the star on its forehead and the lightning bolts resembling the logo of the {{wp|Waffen-SS}}. He is quoted as saying "Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image." The symbols themselves are taken from those used on {{wp|Zener cards}}, which have been used to conduct research into supposed psychic abilities since the 1930s.

As a result, for almost 20 years, there had not been a Kadabra card in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} since {{TCG|Skyridge}} in 2003, and Kadabra had not appeared in the Pokémon anime since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' in 2006, perhaps as a precaution against Geller's history of lawsuits. This is further hinted at by [[Masamitsu Hidaka]]'s interview with PokéBeach in July 2008,<ref>[http://pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points Second Interview with Masamitsu Hidaka – Many Interesting Points! (July 4th, 2008) « Website News « PokéBeach] ([https://archive.today/ApNJu archived copy])</ref> where he claimed that usage of Kadabra on a card is not allowed until an agreement was reached and that the case would not be settled anytime soon.

{{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} cards have continued to be printed, despite the fact that this makes it impossible to play Alakazam cards in matches that prevent the use of older cards (without using cards that specifically allows Alakazam to be played directly without evolving it from Kadabra, such as {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Rare Candy|88}}). However, the only {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} card released after {{tcg|Skyridge}}, in {{tcg|Mysterious Treasures}}, has an attack that allows it to evolve directly into Alakazam, skipping the Kadabra stage. Any {{TCG|Alakazam}} cards printed since were Basic Pokémon that didn't need to evolve from anything.

In November 2020, Uri Geller declared that he had rescinded the "ban" on Kadabra's depiction in the TCG, citing fan outcry.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/uri-geller-nintendo-permission-kadabra-pokemon-cards/ Uri Geller rescinds the ban on Kadabra's depiction in the TCG]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/TheUriGeller/status/1332794451727691777 Uri Geller's tweet regarding Kadabra's now-released ban]</ref> About a year later, Kadabra made its first appearance in animation since ''Fear Factor Phony'' in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]''. The first {{TCG ID|151|Kadabra|64}} card printed since Skyridge is included in the Japanese {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}} subset, released on June 16, 2023; and the English {{TCG|151}} expansion, releasing on September 22, 2023.

===Power Bouncer suffocation incident===
In January 1999, a 7-year-old boy suffocated to death after a Pokémon [[Power Bouncer]] ball became lodged in his throat while playing with it. After his death, his parents created a website named "Pokémon Kills", criticizing Hasbro and Pokémon for not taking appropriate safety measures in their product design.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000511143552/http://www.pokemonkills.com/ Pokémon Kills]</ref> In November 1999, the boy's parents filed a lawsuit against Hasbro and Toys "R" Us.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/13/nyregion/parents-of-boy-who-choked-to-death-on-pokemon-ball-file-suit.html Parents of Boy Who Choked to Death on Pokemon Ball File Suit | New York Times] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230924103450/https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/13/nyregion/parents-of-boy-who-choked-to-death-on-pokemon-ball-file-suit.html archive])</ref>

===Burger King toy suffocation incident===
In December 1999, as a promotion for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{wp|Burger King}} released a [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys|series of promotional toys]] in handheld [[Poké Ball]]s with their Kids' Meals. After a child suffocated because she had covered her mouth and nose with half of the Poké Ball, Burger King recalled the Poké Balls and exchanged them for food for a limited amount of time.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/581493.stm BBC News | AMERICAS | Burger King in Pokemon recall] ([https://archive.today/pffGd archived copy])</ref>

Game Corner

2024-01-12T11:18:09Z

Just a lurker:

[[File:Veilstone Game Corner Adventures.png|thumb|250px|[[Veilstone Game Corner]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
A '''Game Corner''' (Japanese: '''ゲームコーナー''' ''Game Corner'') is a building in the [[Pokémon world]] where minigames can be played, often for [[Coin (Game Corner)|Coins]], which can be exchanged for prizes, including rare [[item]]s, [[TM]]s, and even {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Coins cannot be obtained until the {{player}} has a [[Coin Case]] in their [[Bag]].

With one exception, all [[core series]] games since {{game|Black and White|s}} have not featured a Game Corner, likely due to the {{pkmn|controversy}} surrounding its {{DL|Pokémon controversy|gambling}} elements. However, other gambling methods such as the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]], the [[Cram-o-matic]] and the [[Item Printer]] continue to exist through out the games. But the difference with the Cram-o-matic and the Item Printer versus other methods is the player will always be rewarded with random items or pokéballs. In [[remake]]s of games where a Game Corner was available, the building may be either closed or replaced. In {{LGPE}}, the Game Corner is present, though the slot machines have been replaced with traditional arcade machines, and the machines are not playable.

Game Corners can be found in the following [[region]]s:
* The '''[[Celadon Game Corner]]''' in [[Kanto]], located in [[Celadon City]]; known as the Rocket Game Corner in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}.
* The '''[[Joyful Game Corner]]''' in the [[Sevii Islands]] of Kanto, located in the town of {{OBP|Two Island|town}}.
* The '''[[Goldenrod Game Corner]]''' in [[Johto]], located in [[Goldenrod City]].
* The '''[[Mauville Game Corner]]''' in [[Hoenn]], located in [[Mauville City]]; permanently closed as of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* The '''{{DL|Mossdeep City|Game Corner}} in [[Mossdeep City]]''' in Hoenn; exclusive to {{game|Emerald}}.
* The '''[[Veilstone Game Corner]]''' in [[Sinnoh]], located in [[Veilstone City]]; replaced by the {{DL|Veilstone City|Metronome Style Shop}} in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

Game Corner

Just a lurker: Added other gambling methods.

A '''Game Corner''' (Japanese: '''ゲームコーナー''' ''Game Corner'') is a building in the [[Pokémon world]] where minigames can be played, often for [[Coin (Game Corner)|Coins]], which can be exchanged for prizes, including rare [[item]]s, [[TM]]s, and even {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Weather

2024-01-09T18:02:20Z

Just a lurker: I only found fog in Kitakami.

{{redirect|Clear|the location in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] demo|Mt. Clear}}

The '''weather''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|天気|てんき}}''' ''weather'') is a set of mechanics in the [[Pokémon games]].

==In the core series games==
In the [[core series]], the weather changes the battle environment, activating {{Abilities}}, modifying certain [[move]]s, and potentially damaging the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in battle or affecting their [[stats]]. They have been included in every [[core series]] game since [[Generation II]]. Only one type of weather may be present at a time; an effect that creates weather will remove the previous weather.

In Generation II, the only way to cause weather was by a Pokémon using a [[move]] in-battle. [[Generation III]] introduced [[:Category:Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-related Abilities]] as well as overworld weather; starting a battle in an overworld location with weather would cause that weather to be automatically present from the beginning of the battle. [[Generation IV]] introduced four held items ([[Heat Rock|Heat]], [[Damp Rock|Damp]], [[Smooth Rock|Smooth]], and [[Icy Rock]]s) that increase the duration of weather caused by {{cat|weather-changing moves}} or [[Ability|Abilities]]. [[Generation V]] introduced {{season}}s, which may affect the weather in certain locations, and [[Generation VI]] introduced a new [[evolution]] method affected by the weather. [[Generation VIII]] introduced overworld effects that resemble weather but do not directly correspond with an in-battle weather.

===Pokémon battles===
====List of weather====
The following lists all the weather conditions in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Note that in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, weather conditions do not behave the same way they do in the other games.

{| class="roundtable" style="margin:auto; margin-bottom:2em; max-width: 1280px; background:#{{normal color}}; border:3px solid #{{normal color dark}};"
! style="background-color:#{{normal color light}}; width:110px;" | Weather
! style="background-color:#{{normal color light}}; width:220px;" | Image
! style="background-color:#{{normal color light}};" | In-game description
! style="background-color:#{{normal color light}};" | Details
|-
| style="background-color:#{{fire color light}}; text-align:center" | {{color2|000|Harsh sunlight}}
| [[File:Sunny Day VII 2.png|220px]]
| The harsh sunlight weather condition. It boosts the power of Fire-type moves and lowers the power of Water-type moves.
| [[Harsh sunlight]] strengthens the power of {{type|Fire}} moves by 50% and weakens the power of {{type|Water}} moves by 50%. During [[harsh sunlight]], no Pokémon can be {{status|freeze|frozen}}. 
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it instead increases the Speed of Grass-type Pokémon and activates {{p|Cherrim}}'s Sunshine Form.
|-
| style="background-color:#{{water color light}}; text-align: center" | {{color2|000|Rain}}
| [[File:Rain Dance VII.png|220px]]
|
The rain weather condition. It boosts the power of Water-type moves and lowers the power of Fire-type moves.
| Rain strengthens Water-type moves by 50% while weakening Fire-type moves by 50%.
|-
| style="background-color:#{{rock color light}}; text-align: center" | {{color2|000|Sandstorm (weather condition)|Sandstorm}}
| [[File:Sandstorm VII.png|220px]]
| The sandstorm weather condition. At the end of each turn, it damages all Pokémon that are not Rock, Ground, or Steel types. It boosts the Sp. Def of Rock-type Pokémon.
| Any Pokémon that is not {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, or {{type|Steel}} will be damaged for 1/16 of its maximum HP at the end of each turn. Certain {{Abilities}} prevent damage from weather effects, though, and a Pokémon holding [[Safety Goggles]] is also immune to damage from weather effects. 
Since Generation IV, in a sandstorm, the {{stat|Special Defense}} of {{type|Rock}} Pokémon is increased by 50%.
|-
| style="background-color:#{{ice color light}}; text-align: center" | {{color2|000|Hail (weather condition)|Hail}}
| [[File:Hail VII 2.png|220px]]
| The hail weather condition. At the end of each turn, it damages all Pokémon that are not Ice types.
| Any Pokémon that is not {{type|Ice}} will be damaged for 1/16 of its maximum HP at the end of each turn. Certain {{Abilities}} prevent damage from weather effects, though, and a Pokémon holding [[Safety Goggles]] is also immune to damage from weather effects. This weather was replaced by Snow in [[Generation IX]].
|-
| style="background-color:#{{ice color light}}; text-align: center" | {{color2|000|Snow}}
| [[File:Snowscape IX.png|220px]]
|
The snow weather condition. It makes Blizzard more likely to hit and boosts the Defense of Ice-type Pokémon.
| Snow increases the {{stat|Defense}} of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon by 50%. This weather condition replaces Hail in [[Generation IX]].
|-
| style="background-color:#{{flying color light}}; text-align: center" | {{color2|000|Fog}}
| [[File:Fog VIII.png|220px]]
| ''N/A''
| This weather condition only exists in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hisui]]. A thick fog clouds the overworld and battlefield, reducing the [[accuracy]] of all moves.
|-
| style="background-color:#{{fire color}}; text-align: center" | {{color2|000|Harsh sunlight|Extremely harsh sunlight}}
| [[File:Extremely harsh sunlight VII.png|220px]]
| The extremely harsh sunlight weather condition. It boosts the power of Fire-type moves and protects Pokémon from Water-type moves.
| Sunlight shines more heavily on the battlefield. This has only occurred in the overworld in the [[Hoenn]] region, in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby]], due to {{p|Groudon}}'s emergence.
|-
| style="background-color:#{{water color}}; text-align: center" | {{color2|000|Rain|Heavy rain}}
| [[File:Heavy rain VII.png|220px]]
| The heavy rain weather condition. It boosts the power of Water-type moves and protects Pokémon from Fire-type moves.
| Rain falls more chaotically around the battlefield.
|-
| style="background-color:#{{flying color}}; text-align: center" | {{color2|000|Strong winds}}
| [[File:Strong winds VII.png|220px]]
| The strong winds weather condition. The power of moves that are super effective against Flying-type Pokémon is decreased.
| Strong winds causes {{t|Electric}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} moves to deal neutral damage to Flying-type Pokémon.
|-
| style="background-color:#{{XD color light}}; text-align: center" | {{color2|000|Shadowy aura}}
| [[File:Darkness Battle.png|220px]]
| N/A
| Any Pokémon that is not a [[Shadow Pokémon]] will be damaged for 1/16 of its maximum HP. 
This weather condition is only present in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and has no overworld manifestation anywhere.

|}

====Moves affected by weather====
Certain specific moves are also affected in special ways by the weather.
*The recovery moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, and {{m|Moonlight}} restore more HP than usual in harsh sunlight, and less than usual in most other weather.
**In Generation II, during no weather they normally restore ¼ total HP, during [[harsh sunlight]] they normally restore ½ total HP, and during other weather they normally restore ⅛ total HP. Except in link battles, the amount of HP restored is doubled if it is the move's preferred time of day (morning for Morning Sun, day for Synthesis, night for Moonlight).
**From Generation III onward, during no weather or [[strong winds]] they restore ½ total HP, during [[harsh sunlight]] they restore ⅔ total HP, and during other weather they restore ¼ total HP.
*The move {{m|Shore Up}} restores ⅔ of the user's total HP during a sandstorm; outside of a sandstorm, it only restores ½ total HP.
*The accuracy of {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, and {{m|Blizzard}} is affected by the weather.
**From [[Generation IV]] onward, during hail Blizzard ignores accuracy and evasion checks.
**During rain, Thunder and Hurricane ignore accuracy and evasion checks; during harsh sunlight, Thunder and Hurricane only have 50% accuracy.
**In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} only, Blizzard and Thunder also have a 30% chance to hit through {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}} when used in hail or rain, respectively.
*{{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Solar Blade}} become one-turn moves in harsh sunlight, skipping their charge turn; in rain, sandstorm, hail, and fog, the moves' powers are halved.
*From Generation V onward, during harsh sunlight {{m|Growth}} increases the user's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} by two stages each instead of one.
*In Generations IV and V, and {{g|X and Y}}, when used as a [[field move]] {{m|Sweet Scent}} fails if there is a non-aesthetic weather effect in the area.
*The move {{m|Aurora Veil}} can only be used successfully during hail or snow; otherwise it fails.

====Activated Abilities====
The following Abilities are activated when a type of weather comes into effect. Most of these Abilities have no effect if no weather is active.
{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy|10px}} border:5px solid #{{normal color dark}}; background:#{{normal color}}" cellspacing=1

|}

In addition to the above Abilities, {{a|Harvest}} is guaranteed to restore a Berry whenever it triggers in harsh sunlight, and the Abilities {{a|Overcoat}} and {{a|Magic Guard}} will prevent weather-related damage.

====Castform and Weather Ball====
{{main|Castform (Pokémon)}}
{{main|Weather Ball (move)}}
{{p|Castform}} is a Pokémon uniquely designed to take advantage of the weather. Its [[Ability]], {{a|Forecast}}, causes it to change [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|form]] when a type of weather is present. Forecast does not cause a unique change for every possible type of weather, though.

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#FFF; {{roundy}}"
|-
| width="25%" style="background:#{{normal color light}}; {{roundy}}" | Normal [[File:351Castform.png|80px]] {{typecolor|Normal}} During clear skies, [[fog]], {{weather|sandstorm}}, {{weather|shadowy aura}}, and [[strong winds]]

| width="25%" style="background:#{{ice color light}}; {{roundy}}" | Snowy Form [[File:351Castform-Snowy.png|80px]] {{typecolor|Ice}} During {{weather|hail}}
|}

{{m|Weather Ball}} is a [[move]] that uniquely takes advantage of the weather. In [[Generation III]], it was introduced along with Castform and was Castform's [[signature move]].

Whenever there is a type of weather present, Weather Ball's base power will double to 100. Weather Ball's type also changes during most types of weather.

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#FFF; {{roundy}}"
| height="90px" width="90px" style="background:#{{normal color light}}; {{roundy|45px}}" | During clear skies{{tt|*|Clear skies is the absence of weather, so Weather Ball's power remains 50}} {{typecolor|Normal}}

| height="90px" width="90px" style="background:#{{normal color light}}; {{roundy|45px}}" | During [[fog]]/[[strong winds]] {{typecolor|Normal}}
|}

Because of its Ability, Castform has a unique synergy with Weather Ball that no other Pokémon that can learn Weather Ball has. In harsh sunlight, rain, or hail, Castform will always get [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] thanks to its Ability.

====Causing weather====
Most of the types of weather have a [[move]] or [[Ability]] that will cause that weather.

{{a|Air Lock}} and {{a|Cloud Nine}} also suspend the effects of weather while they are active.

Weather normally lasts for 5 turns when it is called by a move. Prior to [[Generation VI]], weather created by an Ability would continue until the battle ended or another type of weather took its place; since Generation VI, weather created by Abilities also lasts for only 5 turns, with the exception of weather created by {{a|Desolate Land}}, {{a|Primordial Sea}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}}. As of [[Generation IX]], moves and Abilities that change the weather will fail if a weather condition is occurring in the overworld.

If multiple Pokémon with Abilities that change the weather are sent in simultaneously, the Abilities activate in order from [[Statistic|fastest]] Pokémon to slowest Pokémon (or the reverse during {{m|Trick Room}}); this means that the slowest Pokémon's Ability will override the other Abilities.

If a Pokémon holding one of four [[held item]]s creates weather that would otherwise last 5 turns, it instead lasts 8 turns. The rock that affects each type of weather is shown below.

====Visual indicators====
=====Generation V=====
In [[Generation V]], the weather was given an icon which appeared on the DS or 3DS's bottom screen in a battle whenever weather was occurring. Since fog and shadowy aura do not appear in-battle in Generation V, they have no icons. When there is no weather, no icon is shown.

======Legends: Arceus======
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, weather conditions can be seen in-battle by pressing '''+''' to open the "Status Info" view, noted at the bottom of the view.

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy|20px}} border: 2px solid #{{Hisui color dark}}; background: #{{Hisui color}}; font-size:80%; padding:4px; padding-bottom:0px;"

=====Generation IX=====
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, weather conditions can be seen in-battle by pressing '''Y''' for '''Check Status''', listed under "Active Battle States and Effects". Weather conditions caused by the overworld will not display a duration, and they may appear or disappear without notice as the overworld weather changes.

===Overworld===
{{incomplete|section}}
Overworld weather varies between games. There are a larger variety of overworld weather conditions compared to a battle, however some conditions do not affect battles. If a weather condition is present in a [[Route]], sector of the [[Wild Area]] or location within [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] or {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}}, the weather will appear in every battle and last until it is replaced by another weather, and returns to the original weather in the overworld. In addition, Defog may clear fog from an overworld area (in [[Sinnoh]] only).

{{DL|Easter Egg|Diamond Dust}} is a special, purely aesthetic version of light snow, and replaces hail where applicable, allowing the player to battle without the effects of hail, without changing the weather manually. It first appeared as an [[Easter egg]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and has appeared in several [[core series]] games since.

====Weather-dependent evolution====
Starting at level 50, {{p|Sliggoo}} (as well as its [[Hisuian form]]) will evolve into {{p|Goodra}} if it is leveled up during [[rain]] or [[fog]] in the overworld.

====Johto====
* In {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, [[Route 33]] is always [[Rain|raining]].
**[[The Lake of Rage]] also rains, but will become clear on [[Weekly Events|Wednesdays]].
* The snow on the summit areas of [[Mt. Silver Cave]] will activate {{weather|Hail}} in battles.

====Hoenn====
In [[Hoenn]], several areas have weather conditions that occur naturally:
* [[Fog]] is present at the summit of [[Mt. Pyre]], but it has no effect in battles.
* There is always a sandstorm on [[Hoenn Route 111|Route 111]]
* It frequently rains on {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, with clear skies only on one in four days.
* It always rains on a section of {{rt|120|Hoenn}} between the two log bridges corresponding roughly where the [[Ancient Tomb]] is located.
* It rains on one in four days in {{rt|123|Hoenn}} - at the same time, the rain on Route 119 will be thundery.

Several weather conditions are also triggered by in-game events:
* When {{p|Kyogre}} is awakened, a rain/heavy rain is present. In contrast to natural rain, rain summoned by Kyogre includes thunderstorms as well as more rain.
* When {{p|Groudon}} is awakened, harsh sunlight/extremely harsh sunlight is present.
* {{game|Emerald}} involves both Groudon and Kyogre being awakened in that order. Groudon is awakened first but does not immediately change the weather; once Kyogre is awakened, the weather will alternate between rain and harsh sunlight.

The requisite visit to [[Seafloor Cavern]] to defeat [[Maxie]]{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} will subsequently awaken Groudon/Kyogre and cause the respective weather condition to affect four cities: [[Lilycove City]], [[Mossdeep City]], [[Sootopolis City]] and [[Ever Grande City]], as well as their connecting routes east of Lilycove. In {{game|Emerald}}, after reaching the [[Sky Pillar]] during the crisis, its unique weather distortion will spread to the routes east of but not including [[Pacifidlog Town]] as well. While the weather condition is present, a different background music plays, overriding the usual city and route themes as well as the surfing and cycling themes.

====Sinnoh====
* A [[Sandstorm (weather condition)|Sandstorm]] is present on [[route 228]] at all times.
* [[Fog]] obscures the player's overworld vision on the northern section of [[Route 210]], the basement floor of [[Mt. Coronet]], the upper floors of the [[Lost Tower]], the postgame section of Sinnoh's [[Victory Road (Sinnoh)|Victory Road]], and [[Turnback Cave]]. It can be removed using the [[HM]] containing {{m|Defog}}.
** In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, fog activates {{m|Misty Terrain}} in battles.

====Unova====
In [[Unova]], {{season}}s play a significant role in what weather conditions can form in the overworld.

In [[Generation V]], it is possible to temporarily remove overworld weather by saving the game, setting the DS's [[time|clock]] to one month later (to change the season), loading the save file, and [[caught Pokémon|catching]] a Pokémon without leaving the area. This works even if the area always has the same weather regardless of the season.

====Kalos====

====Alola====
*A [[Sandstorm (weather condition)|Sandstorm]] will be present in [[Haina Desert]] between 5:00 PM and 9:59 AM. Otherwise, the weather will be [[Harsh sunlight|Harsh Sunlight]].

[[Rain]] will occur in several locations, and depends on certain conditions:
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}} [[Brooklet Hill]] will rain during [[Lana]]'s [[Island challenge|trial]], after catching or defeating the first [[Wishiwashi]], and before completing the trial.
** In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, it will instead rain between catching/defeating the second Wishiwashi and before completing the trial.
* [[Lush Jungle]], Brooklet Hill, [[Malie City]], [[Malie Garden]], Routes [[Alola Route 10|10]], [[Alola Route 11|11]], [[Alola Route 12|12]], [[Alola Route 13|13]], [[Blush Mountain]], and [[Secluded Shore]] will rain between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
* [[Tapu Village]] and [[Alola Route 14|Route 14]] will rain on some days.
* [[Exeggutor Island]] will rain at certain times with two different intensities, light rain will occur between 10 AM - 3:59 PM, and strong rain will occur between 6 PM - 11:59 PM.
* [[Alola Route 17|Route 17]] will always rain.
====Galar====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, overworld weather effects mostly occur in the [[Wild Area]], [[Isle of Armor]], and [[Crown Tundra]], including those that do not directly correspond to the in-battle weather mechanic.

{{incomplete|section|How much is accuracy reduced in Fog? 33% like with the Obscured status?}}
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], weather is a mechanic that is completely controlled by the environment, and it is reset each day. Weather plays a role in the spawn distributions of wild Pokémon and also has certain in-battle effects. There are no [[move]]s that can affect the weather.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Weather (Mystery Dungeon)}}

Various weather effects appear in certain dungeons in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]. Weather effects can change from floor to floor, and can also be altered through the use of [[Wonder Orb]]s. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], Pokémon will regenerate HP only if the weather is Clear, or if it is holding a {{DL|Scarf (Mystery Dungeon)|Weather Band}}. In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], Pokémon can regenerate HP in any weather as long as they do not take damage from the weather condition, or if it is holding a {{DL|Looplet|Weather Looplet}}.

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Weather (GO)}}
Various weather effects appear in {{g|GO}}, intended to reflect the actual weather. Weather in each local area is updated every hour, on the hour, via {{wp|Accuweather}}. Each weather offers various weather boosts to Pokémon belonging to specific types.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{main|Weather (Masters)}}
Weather functions similarly in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] as it does in the main series games, though some of the effects are slightly tweaked.
*Sunny: Boosts Fire-type attacks by 50%. Additionally, Pokémon cannot be frozen, and previous Pokémon that were frozen prior to the weather condition being implemented will not be frozen anymore after the weather takes effect.
*Rain: Boosts Water-type attacks by 50%.
*Hail: Damages Pokémon after every action.
*Sandstorm: Damages Pokémon after every action.

==Trivia==
[[File:Three Snowflakes unused FRLG.png|frame|Four snowflakes falling that goes unused]]
* There is a glitch that occurs in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, called [[acid rain]], that results in the simultaneous occurrence of all then-existing weather conditions at once, damaging all Pokémon on the field, unless the Pokémon is immune to both {{m|Hail}} and {{m|Sandstorm}}, like {{p|Swinub}}, or if its Ability is {{a|Magic Guard}}.
* The [[Weather Institute]] in [[Hoenn]] is dedicated to the study of weather. It is said to have created {{p|Castform}}, a Pokémon that changes with the weather.
* The [[Generation III]] core games internal data contains an unused overworld effect of four falling snowflakes.
* [[Defog]] is the only [[move]] that affects weather in the overworld.

Fog

Just a lurker: added info

{{WeatherInfobox

|color=fairy}}

'''Fog''' (Japanese: '''きり''' ''Fog'') is a type of [[weather]] that exclusively appears as a natural effect—it cannot be created by moves or Abilities. As an in-battle weather effect, it is exclusive to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's]] [[The Teal Mask]] DLC. As an overworld effect, it has appeared since [[Generation III]]. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], overworld fog instead shows up in battle as natural {{m|Misty Terrain}}.

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl]], and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, the move {{m|Defog}} removes fog in battle or in the overworld when it is used. (This is also because Defog has the effect of removing all [[Terrain]] effects from [[Generation VIII]] onward.)

==Effects==
[[File:Allegra Honchkrow Defog discs.png|thumb|250px|Fog in the anime]]
===In battle===
====Generation IV====
* The {{stat|accuracy}} of all moves is modified by a factor of 3/5. ({{cat|Moves that cannot miss|Moves with no accuracy check}}, such as {{m|Swift}}, are unaffected.)
* Doubles the power of {{m|Weather Ball}} (but does not change its type).
* Causes {{m|Solar Beam}} to have its power halved.
* Causes {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Synthesis}}, and {{m|Morning Sun}} to only recover ¼ of max HP.

====Pokémon Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl====
{{main|Misty Terrain (move)}}

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
{{Incomplete|section|decreased by how much?}}
* The accuracy of all moves is decreased, except for moves that cannot miss.

===Outside of battle===
Fog makes the area difficult to see, especially obstacles and Trainers.

{{m|Sweet Scent}} and [[Honey]] will fail if there is non-aesthetic fog in the area.

In [[Generation VII]] and {{gen|VIII}}, {{p|Sliggoo}} will evolve into {{p|Goodra}} starting at [[level]] 50 when leveled up during [[rain]] or fog in the overworld. In [[Hisui]], {{rf|Hisuian}} Sliggoo evolves into Hisuian Goodra starting at level 50 during rain or fog in the overworld.

'''Nature's Madness''' (Japanese: '''しぜんのいかり''' ''Nature's Wrath'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of the [[guardian deities]].

It can be upgraded to the special [[Z-Move]] {{m|Guardian of Alola}} by a guardian deity holding [[Tapunium Z]].

==Effect==
Nature's Madness deals damage equal to 50% of the opponent's remaining [[HP]], rounded down. It always deals at least 1 HP of damage.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
In Versions 1.0 to 1.2.1 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Nature's Madness could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.3.0, it is usable and functions the same as it did in the previous generation.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Nature's Madness cannot be selected in a battle.

===Generation IX===
Nature's Madness cannot be selected in a battle.

'''Gimmighoul''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コレクレー''' ''Collecurei'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gholdengo}} when [[level]]ed up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s. After the evolution, the Gimmighoul Coins disappear. Gimmighoul's evolution cannot be canceled with the B button.

Gimmighoul has two separate [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Chest Form''' and '''Roaming Form'''. Only Chest Form Gimmighoul can be {{pkmn|battle}}d and {{pkmn2|caught}}, while Roaming Form Gimmighoul will flee when interacted with, leaving behind Gimmighoul Coins. Roaming Form can only be obtained by [[transfer]]ring it from {{g|GO}} via the [[GO Transporter]].

==Biology==
[[File:GimmighoulRevealChestFront.png|200px|thumb|left|Gimmighoul's Chest Form while closed.<ref name=Chest>[http://web.archive.org/web/0/https://chest.pokemon.com/ Earliest archive of https://chest.pokemon.com/]</ref>]]
Gimmighoul is a small, blue-gray, metallic, bipedal Pokémon, with bands of two thin black stripes present around its torso and between its gold, circular eyes. It has a pair of thin black antennae and a tail, which are bent near the base and tipped with small gold circles. These antennae vibrate when detecting something it deems notable. In its Chest Form, Gimmighoul hides inside a red chest, decorated with black and golden accents and a silver buckle with an ornate oval pattern, resembling the number 1,000 when viewed from the side. The chest it resides in is full of [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s. In its Roaming Form, Gimmighoul carries one of these coins on its back. Both forms of Gimmighoul have different personalities.

In its Chest Form, Gimmighoul's treasure chest provides defense but makes it hard for it to move due to its weight. Its disguise and low movement speed cause it to be commonly mistaken for an antique and get left behind or taken away. When Chest Form Gimmighoul senses an approaching person or Pokémon, it will use ghost energy to possess its target and force them to collect Gimmighoul Coins. It tends to hide in less frequented places such as warehouses and shop corners to ambush people and Pokémon, and its control has notable persistence;<ref name=SVsite/> one old tale tells of a Gimmighoul who manipulated a young girl to gather 999 coins to fill its chest.<ref name=GimmighoulYT/> It is also known to drain the life out of anyone who attempts to steal its coins. When Gimmighoul has gathered 999 of the coins, it is able to evolve into {{p|Gholdengo}}. Chest Form Gimmighoul was said to have been born inside its chest 1,500 years ago. Chest Form Gimmighoul can live in a variety of different areas in Paldea, such as ancient ruins, watchtowers, and secluded islands in the Paldean Sea.

Roaming Form Gimmighoul is among the [[List of Pokémon by height|smallest]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] of all Pokémon, and is created from coins infused with passion. In its Roaming Form, Gimmighoul is extremely timid, running away and dropping its coin as soon as anyone approaches.<ref name=SVsite/> It does not manipulate people and Pokémon to give it coins like its Chest Form counterpart; instead, it is able to gather coins by itself.<ref name=GimmighoulYT/> Despite being found everywhere in [[Paldea]], no one has apparently been able to capture Roaming Form Gimmighoul. It constantly wanders, believed to be searching for the chest it used to live in. For sustenance, it drains the life force of humans who try to steal its coin. This form of Gimmighoul has also been seen appearing in the world of [[Pokémon GO]], where it tags along near Trainers who pick up Gimmighoul Coins.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/gimmighoul/ Gimmighoul — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Gimmighoul has also been observed being lured over through the [[Coin Bag]] and [[Golden Lure Module]]s.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/pokemon_go_gimmighoul/</ref>

===Forms===
Gimmighoul has two separate forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form.

===Form data===
Gimmighoul has two non-interchangeable forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form. Both can be found in [[Paldea]]'s overworld, but only Chest Form can be {{pkmn|battle}}d and [[catching|caught]], while Roaming Form will flee upon being interacted with, leaving behind Gimmighoul Coins, which are necessary for Gimmighoul to evolve. Roaming Form can only be obtained by [[transfer]]ring it from {{g|GO}} via the [[GO Transporter]].

The forms differ in their {{Abilities}}, with Chest Form having {{a|Rattled}} and Roaming Form having {{a|Run Away}}, as well as their [[base stats]], with Chest Form having higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but lower {{stat|Speed}} compared to Roaming Form.

==Trivia==
* Gimmighoul's Chest Form was named by [[Jacq]], while its Roaming Form was named by [[Professor Willow]].<ref name=GimmighoulYT>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nzi0S3NGzg Where are these mysterious coins coming from? 🤔 | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref>
* Both forms of Gimmighoul are tied with {{p|Yamask}} and {{p|Litwick}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Chest Form Gimmighoul has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Roaming Form Gimmighoul has the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Roaming Form Gimmighoul is tied with {{p|Sinistea}} and {{p|Poltchageist}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] Ghost-type Pokémon, and tied with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Gimmighoul is the only Pokémon in {{g|GO}} that evolves without {{OBP|Candy|GO}}, even if it is not [[trade (GO)|traded]].
* Gimmighoul is heavily associated with the number 999:
** Its [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]] is #0999.
** It evolves when leveled up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s.
** It was first teased through a website with a counter that periodically counted to 999.
** A promotional video about Gimmighoul tells the tale of a Gimmighoul who manipulated a young girl to fill its chest with 999 coins.<ref name=GimmighoulYT/>
* Due to its Ghost type, Roaming Form Gimmighoul's {{a|Run Away}} [[Ability]] is redundant unless its type changes, such as via {{m|Reflect Type}} or {{m|Soak}}.
* Gimmighoul only learns 2 moves by level-up, the fewest of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* It is not possible to flee from a chest form Gimmighoul; even if the player's pokemon is faster. Attempting to flee via pressing the "run" option or use a pokemon with the [[Run Away (Ability)|run away]] ability will give the "You can't escape." dialogue. Using the [[Poké Doll]] item will give the same dialogue that a player will receive if they try to use certain [[key item]]s such as the [[Shiny Charm]]. Using the moves [[Whirlwind (move)|Whirlwind]] or [[Roar (move)|Roar]] will fail.

===Pre-release teasers===
* Chest Form Gimmighoul was teased through a special website<ref name=Chest/> that went live on November 5, 2022 at 13:00 UTC. It showcased Gimmighoul's chest and a counter, which periodically ticked upwards every few hours as it was slowly filled with coins. The counter eventually capped out at 999 on November 6, 2022 at 14:00 UTC, and the site became a redirect to a new page on the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} website.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/chest-research/ Investigations into a Newly Discovered Pokémon Are Under Way!]" — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website</ref>
* Roaming Form Gimmighoul was also teased on November 5, 2022, appearing in Pokémon GO after the {{p|Dratini}} [[Community Day|Community Day Classic]] event ended. Golden [[PokéStop]]s were added to the game, and spinning one would cause a Roaming Form Gimmighoul to show up and follow the player for a short time, although it could not be properly encountered or caught.
* Prior to the release of its teasers, an obscured Roaming Form Gimmighoul could be seen very briefly in the English version of the "Jump into a Paldean Journey" trailer for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, posted on October 6, 2022.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YEEDqke-D0&t=573s Jump into a Paldean Journey | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref> It does not appear in the Japanese version of this trailer.

===Origin===
As indicated by its English name, Gimmighoul may be based on the {{wp|ghoul}}, a mythical creature from Arabic folklore known for luring people into deserted places before preying on them, and stealing coins. The word ''ghoul'' (Arabic: غُول ''ghūl'') stems from the Arabic word غَالَ ''ghāla'', meaning "to seize". Gimmighoul's antennae and tail resemble {{wp|dowsing|dowsing rods}}, which are believed to be able to help people locate buried treasures. The association of a ghost with coins, as well as its eyes resembling coins, may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Charon's obol}}, where the deceased are buried with coins as a preparation for the afterlife. The coins were frequently placed in the mouth or on the eyes.

Gimmighoul's Chest Form may be based on the {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs, known for disguising itself as treasure chests. Its Roaming Form may be based on the Catalan folktale of {{wp|Patufet}}, a tiny child who carries a coin. It may also be based on the {{wp|toyol}} (also known as ''tuyul''), an infant-like spirit from Indonesian and Malay folklore invoked to steal riches from people. Gimmighoul's association with the number 999 may be a reference to {{wp|Fineness#Gold|999 fine gold}}, equivalent to 24 karat gold.

Considering its evolution, Gimmighoul's design may also draw inspiration from {{wp|El Dorado}}, a legend now believed to originate in Spanish conception of {{wp|Muisca}} rituals performed in pre-colonial {{wp|Colombia}}. Its laminated body shape resembles {{wp|tunjo}}s, Muisca figurines made of molded gold in the shape of divine humans or animals. Its Ghost-type could be based on the fact that tunjos are commonly found in burial places and places of worship.

====Name origin====
Gimmighoul may be a combination of ''gimme'' (informal pronunciation of "give me"), ''gimmick'' or ''mimic'', and ''ghoul''. Altogether, it sounds like the phrase "Give me gold."

Collecurei may be a combination of ''collect'', 霊 ''rei'' (spirit), and a pun on the phrase これくれ ''kore kure'' ("Give me this").

* The Nintendo Switch is the only Nintendo home console not to be [[software region|region-locked]] (except in {{wp|Mainland China}}, where it is region-locked).
* The Nintendo Switch is the first Nintendo system to have more than two generations of core series game released for it, being everything from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

==Trivia==
* The Nintendo Switch is the only Nintendo video game console to have its first [[core series]] Pokémon title not be the start of a new [[generation]].
** This excludes the [[Game Boy Color]]. {{game|Yellow}} (outside of Japan) and {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were both Game Boy Color games that were also compatible with the [[Game Boy]], but Pokémon Yellow was marketed as a Game Boy game that is enhanced on Game Boy Color, while Pokémon Gold and Silver were marketed as Game Boy Color games that are playable on Game Boy. {{game|Crystal}} was the first Pokémon title to be exclusive to the Game Boy Color.
* The Nintendo Switch is the only home console to natively play core series Pokémon titles. Other home consoles require a peripheral (such as the [[Super Game Boy]], [[Transfer Pak]], or [[Game Boy Player]]) to play core series Pokémon games.
* The Nintendo Switch is the only Nintendo home console not to be [[software region|region-locked]] (except in {{wp|Mainland China}}, where it is region-locked).
* The Nintendo Switch is the first Nintendo system to have more than two generations of core series game released for it, being everything from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].
* On May 31, 2023, Nintendo discontinued purchases and code redemptions for the Nintendo eShop in Russia. Already-purchased software would still be available to redownload. <ref>https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/nintendo-eshop-to-effectively-shut-down-in-russia e-shop shutdown in Russia</ref>

User talk:Force Fire/Archive 14

2023-04-17T01:38:08Z

Just a lurker: /* Area Zero */

{{User:Force Fire/Archive}}

== Inkster ==

While I've already posted on their talk page, I did want to bring this up to a staff member as well. I believe that Inkster's behavior on the wiki has become borderline obtrusive, especially in regards to their focus on timeline and age-related matters. Although they have already been partially blocked from multiple pages, I don't think this will be enough to deter their behavior.

They have shown a tendency to flip-flop on their opinions:

* On the "Player character" page, they [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Player_character&diff=3615843&oldid=3615760 constantly] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Player_character&diff=3615532&oldid=3604836 removed] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Player_character&diff=3601121&oldid=3594397 this piece] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Player_character&diff=3569296&oldid=3567564 of info], only for them to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Player_character&diff=prev&oldid=3646618 add it back after it was gone for over a month].

* They have constantly gone back and forth on whether or not Rei/Akari are "around 15".

* The core series page as a whole has had multiple instances of this, and now they're claiming that [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Inkster&diff=3643660&oldid=3641171 the idea of Gen 1 being set in 1996 was "explicitly made up" by them] (and this is also a pretty clear violation of the [[BP:COC|code of conduct]].

They also have a very clear history of edit warring (which includes the pages they're currently blocked from, but they also have history with the "Player character" and "History of the Pokémon world" pages as well).

== How can we merge two images? ==

[[File:Brawl Boss Rayquaza.png|100px]] the image on the right was tagged as unacceptable due to being hacked but I couldn’t revert it back to the older image so I uploaded a new one. Would it be possible to merge both images so they can use the same filename in any way?

[[User:Pikmin3WiiU|Pikmin3WiiU]] ([[User talk:Pikmin3WiiU|talk]]) 03:28, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
:I've reuploaded the image back to the previous image, seems whoever uploaded the emulated image has a history of doing so.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:00, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

It looks like you reverted back to the hacked image. The guy {{sbw|User:Brandondorf9999|has also}} {{smw|User:Brandondorf9999|been banned}} from MarioWiki and SmashWiki for uploading emulated images like this so

== Chloe: a main character confirmation? (Part 2) ==

Sorry to resurrect this discussion, but ... Chloe appears among Ash's friends in the new opening, I think it's an indication that she is a main character(or something more than a recurring character), no?I mean, I don't know, in the last episode of Journeys they kind of wanted to put Chloe side by side with Goh and Ash. Especially in the last scene.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 11:02, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
:I agree that Chloe has received far more focus than any other supporting character throughout the series, and could honestly be considered something of a pseudo main character at this point.
:However, the thing that dissuades me from considering her a main character proper is her lack of appearances throughout Journeys compared to Ash and Goh: She's only appeared in roughly 39% of the main series episodes (and even if only counting episodes beginning with her obtaining Eevee, it's still only a roughly 41% appearance rate). [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 11:14, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
::Her being one of Ash's friends doesn't change the fact that she's a supporting character. The overall story of Journeys doesn't focus on her, it focuses on Ash and Goh. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 11:26, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
:::I mean, I don't disagree (hence why I described her as a "pseudo main character)". I wasn't arguing in favor of her being considered a main character (quite the opposite, in fact). [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 11:45, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
::::Chloe appears in more episodes than Team Rocket in Journeys, and in fact, since Sun & Moon we have cases of main characters that didn't appear in all the episodes of their origin saga. And I don't understand why my comment ended up here, but anyway...--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 11:53, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
:::::I already explained why I moved it... You posted on an archived talk page, so I simply moved the discussion to the current talk page where it's more relevant.
:::::Team Rocket were main characters for the first three series and continued to appear in all future series as well.
:::::The lowest physical appearance rate for an active human protagonist in a saga is Lana who appeared in roughly 88% of the Alola episodes. This is still a '''''significant''''' difference from Chloe. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 12:05, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

== <nowiki>{{Male}}</nowiki> ==

I saw we have gender templates that I don't think have been used much, so I replaced these on a few templates for consistency and simplicity. Only thing is the bright cyan used on the male template contrasts extremely poorly against Bulbapedia's white background, so I was wondering if you could change it to the blue that we have otherwise been using ({{color|0070f8|#0070f8}}) or perhaps even something darker like {{color|0055b3|#0055b3}}.-- [[User:4iamking|4iamking]] ([[User talk:4iamking|talk]]) 19:26, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

== Editing while watching the anime? ==

Hi, I have a question. Am I allowed to edit during the airing of the show or should I wait and edit after the episode is aired? Thanks for answering. ([[User:QuickJolteon|QuickJolteon]] ([[User talk:QuickJolteon|talk]]) 11:47, 1 February 2023 (UTC))

== A certain user ==

While I've had my suspicions on this user for a while, I think it might be worth looking into them now.

I'm pretty sure that {{u|BlueSparkles}} is Kittystyler. The pages that they edit are more or less in line with confirmed sockpuppets, and [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Squishy&diff=prev&oldid=3669919 this feels like a classic "Kittystyler adding character relationships to pages" edit], complete with a similar grammar structure.

In addition to focusing almost entirely on trivia, most of the trivia they've added contain spelling errors, and some of the trivia they've added is either dubious or straight up untrue (for example, claiming that Greninja reached its final form the fastest out of all of Ash's starter Pokémon when it was Charizard).

== Monarch vs. World Champion ==

For a while now, Hikaru Wazana has insisted that "Monarch" is dub-only, but since Leon was referred to as "oja" in the Japanese version of JN129, I don't think that's quite true. Additionally, the World Coronation Series page also lists "Monarch" as the term used in the Japanese version.

However, I do know that Ash has been referred to as "Champion" in the Japanese version in regards to his win in the WCS (as opposed to his title of Alola Champion). Could it be that both terms are used interchangeably? [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 00:42, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
:Hi Hello. Well come on, I'm just using the pattern of the precedent created when they removed the Orange League Champion title from the page in favor of the Honored Trainer title (which supposedly appeared in the original Japanese). I put it that way because the term "Monarch" was only used on Bulbapedia after the airing of the dubbed version of [[JN012]], before that, the site used only the title of World Champion.
:I thought it was worth putting this on the Champions page, because the anime explicitly uses the term Champion in the original Japanese (both to refer to Ash and Leon when referring to the world title). And personally I think that the information placed in the Japanese original should override what is shown in the United States. Since I don't watch the dubbed versions of the episodes, I'm not fully aware of how the West has addressed this issue generally.
:Well, I think there must be a better way to solve this question, but I don't know what it is.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 01:29, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
::"Monarch" ''isn't'' dub-exclusive, though; the announcer explicitly refers to Leon as "oja" (i.e. Monarch) in JN129. I'm aware that "Champion" has been used in regards to the title as well in Japanese, which is why I think both terms may have been used interchangeably. Also, "Honored Trainer" was indeed used in the original Japanese version; I watched both of the Orange League episodes for Ash vs. Drake in Japanese and the phrase "Meiyo Trainer" popped up several times, while "Champion" never popped up once.

== Larvitar and Nebby ==

I heard that you and {{u|Rahl}} have discussed last December regarding whether Larvitar and Nebby can be counted as Ash's Pokémon. Since they weren't officially owned, I'm not sure if I agree with that. What was your reasoning for saying "yes"? The Larvitar article could easily be retitled "Larvitar (anime)" if the opposite decision was made. Same with Shaymin in S&M. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:44, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
* Larvitar and Nebby were:
** Shown to have traveled with Ash over multiple episodes and bonded as Trainer and Pokémon, similar to other Pokémon not seen placed in a Poké Ball such as Misty's Togetic, Cameron's Lucario, Alexa's Helioptile, or Professor Burnet's Munchlax to name a few.
** They were both included in Pikachu's fantasy in JN132 showing all of Ash's Pokémon, as well as Ash's in JN135.
** Both appeared in the Aim to Be a Pokémon Master opening in JN139 (which showed released Pokémon) and JN146 (which showed Alola team).
** Both were included in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZccKUMgLRE8 final trailer] for the anime with the rest of Ash's team.
** The Aim To Be a Aim to Be a Pokémon Master promotion poster, which included all of Ash's Pokémon (the only ones not Ash's were Meowth and Wobbuffet, both main characters).
At this point, why are you not convinced they are Ash's? Your only defense is they were not placed in a Poké Ball, which is not unheard of for anime Pokémon. What is your defense against the anime showing again and again they belong with the rest? --[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 14:13, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
:I'm just stubborn, I guess. All I'll say is that Lucario, Helioptile, and Munchlax could easily have Poké Balls we never see. For example, Helioptile is not seen with Alexa when she and Ash travel to Kalos, implying it's in a Poké Ball. Though, with Togepi/Togetic, I don't really have an argument against that. Oh, and the fantasy in JN135 also featured the Pink Butterfree, which he definitely didn't own, but I admit, the evidence in support of this thing as a whole is very solid, so I can't really argue more against it. Hopefully there will be an outright statement of him owning them at some point to lay any doubts to rest. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:26, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

If you want to mark those as unofficial on episode articles, I don't mind. Even if the anime continually considers them his, they still technically weren't caught by him. I've already explained Togepi's situation, Togepi chose Misty to be its trainer as it saw her first and regarded her as its mother. As for Cameron's Riolu, I don't particularly remember anything about it ownershop status being ambiguous, Cameron was a forgettable character imo.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:12, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Since [[JN147]]'s page made it clear that it wasn't supposed to be the last appearance of Ash, Pikachu and others and that it shouldn't be on the episode pages, I see no reason to have that here on other pages.

Others use the same voice actor, but then I don't know if it's worth considering being the same person.
This is only in episodes that I could find, so I would like to know, Is it possible to treat him as a recurring character or is it a case of character recycling with the same function?

== Monarch vs. World Champion ==

For a while now, Hikaru Wazana has insisted that "Monarch" is dub-only, but since Leon was referred to as "oja" in the Japanese version of JN129, I don't think that's quite true. Additionally, the World Coronation Series page also lists "Monarch" as the term used in the Japanese version.

However, I do know that Ash has been referred to as "Champion" in the Japanese version in regards to his win in the WCS (as opposed to his title of Alola Champion). Could it be that both terms are used interchangeably? [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 00:42, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
:Hi Hello. Well come on, I'm just using the pattern of the precedent created when they removed the Orange League Champion title from the page in favor of the Honored Trainer title (which supposedly appeared in the original Japanese). I put it that way because the term "Monarch" was only used on Bulbapedia after the airing of the dubbed version of [[JN012]], before that, the site used only the title of World Champion.
:I thought it was worth putting this on the Champions page, because the anime explicitly uses the term Champion in the original Japanese (both to refer to Ash and Leon when referring to the world title). And personally I think that the information placed in the Japanese original should override what is shown in the United States. Since I don't watch the dubbed versions of the episodes, I'm not fully aware of how the West has addressed this issue generally.
:Well, I think there must be a better way to solve this question, but I don't know what it is.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 01:29, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
::"Monarch" ''isn't'' dub-exclusive, though; the announcer explicitly refers to Leon as "oja" (i.e. Monarch) in JN129. I'm aware that "Champion" has been used in regards to the title as well in Japanese, which is why I think both terms may have been used interchangeably. Also, "Honored Trainer" was indeed used in the original Japanese version; I watched both of the Orange League episodes for Ash vs. Drake in Japanese and the phrase "Meiyo Trainer" popped up several times, while "Champion" never popped up once.

== Larvitar and Nebby ==

I heard that you and {{u|Rahl}} have discussed last December regarding whether Larvitar and Nebby can be counted as Ash's Pokémon. Since they weren't officially owned, I'm not sure if I agree with that. What was your reasoning for saying "yes"? The Larvitar article could easily be retitled "Larvitar (anime)" if the opposite decision was made. Same with Shaymin in S&M. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:44, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
* Larvitar and Nebby were:
** Shown to have traveled with Ash over multiple episodes and bonded as Trainer and Pokémon, similar to other Pokémon not seen placed in a Poké Ball such as Misty's Togetic, Cameron's Lucario, Alexa's Helioptile, or Professor Burnet's Munchlax to name a few.
** They were both included in Pikachu's fantasy in JN132 showing all of Ash's Pokémon, as well as Ash's in JN135.
** Both appeared in the Aim to Be a Pokémon Master opening in JN139 (which showed released Pokémon) and JN146 (which showed Alola team).
** Both were included in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZccKUMgLRE8 final trailer] for the anime with the rest of Ash's team.
** The Aim To Be a Aim to Be a Pokémon Master promotion poster, which included all of Ash's Pokémon (the only ones not Ash's were Meowth and Wobbuffet, both main characters).
At this point, why are you not convinced they are Ash's? Your only defense is they were not placed in a Poké Ball, which is not unheard of for anime Pokémon. What is your defense against the anime showing again and again they belong with the rest? --[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 14:13, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
:I'm just stubborn, I guess. All I'll say is that Lucario, Helioptile, and Munchlax could easily have Poké Balls we never see. For example, Helioptile is not seen with Alexa when she and Ash travel to Kalos, implying it's in a Poké Ball. Though, with Togepi/Togetic, I don't really have an argument against that. Oh, and the fantasy in JN135 also featured the Pink Butterfree, which he definitely didn't own, but I admit, the evidence in support of this thing as a whole is very solid, so I can't really argue more against it. Hopefully there will be an outright statement of him owning them at some point to lay any doubts to rest. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:26, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

If you want to mark those as unofficial on episode articles, I don't mind. Even if the anime continually considers them his, they still technically weren't caught by him. I've already explained Togepi's situation, Togepi chose Misty to be its trainer as it saw her first and regarded her as its mother. As for Cameron's Riolu, I don't particularly remember anything about it ownershop status being ambiguous, Cameron was a forgettable character imo.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:12, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

MarioKero started an editwar about a Trivia that was supposed to be the "last appearance" of a bunch of characters. Since [[JN147]]'s page made it clear that it wasn't supposed to be the last appearance of Ash, Pikachu and others and that it shouldn't be on the episode pages, I see no reason to have that here on other pages. I talked to FinnishPokefan and he said it would be better to get an opinion from someone on the staff. Do you have an opinion about this?--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 15:42, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
:The trivia is fine. It is those characters final appearance (for now). And JN147 doesn't indicate that it's not the last time we'll see those characters.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:41, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

== Original series announcer ==

[[File:Rustboro Contest Announcer.png|200px|thumb|AG013]]
I was looking at some old episodes and I noticed that a character is repeated in Regional Competitions episodes, this character appeared in ''Princess Vs Princess''(I think this is his first appearance), ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. Others use the same voice actor, but then I don't know if it's worth considering being the same person.
This is only in episodes that I could find, so I would like to know, Is it possible to treat him as a recurring character or is it a case of character recycling with the same function? Depending on your answer, I wanted to be creating a page for this character or creating a section on some page detailing his appearances.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 12:39, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

:I think whether the character is voiced by the same voice actor in the original Japanese episode could clear up whether they are suppose to be one character.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:37, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
::A look at the end credits shows three different voice actors for certain narrators, Koichi Hasebe did the Indigo League, Jin Horikawa the Johto league and Katsuyuki Konishi did a few others.

== Pocket Monsters RPG ==
In a 1997 interview, Shigeru Miyamoto was asked about Pocket Monsters 64 and he said there is in in development for the 64DD. In a seperate interview, it was mentioned that there were three separate Pokemon (sorry my computer doesn't allow me to do the accented e) games in development for the 64DD, two of those came out, however not for the DD (Stadium and Snap)
[[https://lostmediawiki.com/images/1/11/1997_Miyamoto_interview.jpeg]]{{unsigned|Requiem OfLostSouls}}
:The game in question became Stadium according to our article. An RPG game is not mentioned in that article, and the history section of our article has had that information removed several time due to a lack of source.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 21:16, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

==[[Area Zero]]==
So what exactly about my edit is considered "unnotable" and "speculative"? I've spent time researching the symbolism of moths and white flowers in japanese culture. Its not like the information i've put was wrong. [[User:Just a lurker|Just a lurker]] ([[User talk:Just a lurker|talk]]) 01:16, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

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

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

==History==
{{spoilers}}
2,000 years ago, the Paldean emperor attempted many expeditions into Area Zero, starting off the Great Age of Exploration. The reason was due to a rumor, claiming there was treasure located at the bottom. However, this decision led to the empire declining after 1,000 years. 800 years later, Heath and the Area Zero Expedition would be the first to reach Area Zero's bottom. Here, Heath proceeds to take many notes on the area, [[Herba Mystica]], the various wild Pokémon and first encounter with the mysterious [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He would later record his research into the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. However, people accused Heath of fabricating his story, hence the whole Area Zero Expedition were widely discredited. The expedition team also took the Herba Mystica with them outside of crater for a research project. The project failed due to local Pokémon near each five facility consuming the herb, transforming into the [[Titan Pokémon]].

60 years after the expedition, the [[Terastal phenomenon]] would be discovered for the first time in Area Zero. However, the phenomenon could not be taken outside of Area Zero. 53 years later, a research station was built in Area Zero in order for research to be continued at the location. Ten years before the events of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} started an expedition into Area Zero, setting up the [[Zero Lab]]. Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}} would find a way to bring the Terastal phenomenon outside of Area Zero through the use of [[Tera Orb]]s. Eventually, Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} moved permanently into the Zero Lab to continue more research on Area Zero and the Paradox Pokémon as part of the Tera Project, leaving their son [[Arven]] behind to take care of himself. Not long before the events of the game, Arven would enter Area Zero in an attempt to find his parent, only for his {{p|Mabosstiff}} to be attacked by a creature he describes as either "rampaging"{{sup/9|S}} or "metallic, machine"{{sup/9|V}}. This injures it to the point where all attempts at using traditional medicine failed to heal it, until he decides to ask the [[Player Character|player]] for assistance, setting into motion the events of the game.

==Trivia==
* Although the {{form|Floette|White Flower}} form of {{p|Floette}} is meant to be the rarest of its forms, it's the only one that spawns in Area Zero and is a common spawn there. This could be because White flower Floette may be referencing the deaths of both [[Professor Sada]] and [[Professor Turo]]. As white blossoms, specifically the white Chrysanthemum flower in Japan symbolizes grief, and is often used in funerals.
* The [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldean Pokédex]] doesn't list Area Zero as a spawn location for any of the Pokemon that spawn there.
* The Paldean Pokédex states that {{p|Glimmet}} has a very rare spawn chance. However, Glimmet is a common spawn at the bottom of Area Zero.
* Despite the area's heavy association with the [[Terastal phenomenon]], wild [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized Pokémon]] cannot be found in Area Zero.
* A small attention to detail is that all moths available in the games, with the exception of {{p|Slither Wing}} available only in Scarlet, and {{p|Iron Moth}} in available only in Violet can be found in Area Zero. The moth Pokemon being {{p|Volcarona}}, {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Frosmoth}}, and {{p|Masquerain}}. This is because of two reasons: the first one is that moths are attracted to bright light and anything that shines. And Area Zero is always bright (with the exception of caves), and the crystals across the region causes shine and shimmer almost everywhere. The second reason is that in many cultures, moths are often associated with [[Death in the Pokémon world|death]]. So the moths could be referencing the deaths of both [[Professor Sada]] and [[Professor Turo]].

'''Struggle''' (Japanese: '''わるあがき''' ''Vain Struggle'') is a damage-dealing [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is a [[move]] that every Pokémon can use when none of its moves are usable, although no Pokémon can naturally learn it.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|
* Is the target a randomly selected opponent in all kinds of battles? (Triple Battles, Horde Encounters, etc.)
* Can Struggle be called by Copycat?
* Self-inflicted recoil damage from Struggle from the previous turn can be countered only in Generation I or also in later generations?}}

Struggle inflicts damage, and the user takes [[recoil]] damage. Struggle is capable of striking a [[critical hit]]. In [[Double Battle]]s, its target is a randomly selected opponent.

Struggle does not spend any [[PP]]. This move has a maximum PP value stored in the game data, but this is not shown to the player.

| 10 || style="{{roundybr|8px}}" colspan=2 | 1
|}

Struggle is unaffected by a held [[Normal Gem]], and does not consume it. Even if the user's moves have their types changed (such as from {{m|Electrify}}, {{m|Ion Deluge}}, {{a|Normalize}}, {{a|Pixilate}}, etc.), Struggle still deals typeless damage, and does not use or consume any type of [[Gem]].

Struggle cannot be learned like other moves, but it will be automatically used by any Pokémon that is ordered to attack when it has no usable moves. A move may not be currently usable because:

* It ran out of [[PP]].
* It is blocked by the moves {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Heal Block}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Throat Chop}}, or {{m|Torment}}, by the Ability {{a|Cursed Body}}, or by the user's held [[Assault Vest]].
* In the case of {{m|Belch}}, it may not be selectable because its conditions have not been met.
* It is [[Move#Unusable moves|unavailable]] in the current game.

If a Pokémon is forced to use a single move by a held [[:Category:Choice items|choice item]], but that move is unavailable for the reasons above, it will use Struggle. If a Pokémon is forced to use a single move by {{m|Encore}}, but that move runs out of PP, then Encore's effect ends; otherwise, if that move affected by Encore is unavailable for other reasons, it will use Struggle.

If a Pokémon is affected by Torment but it has a single available move (or is forced to use a single move by Encore or a held choice item), it will use Struggle every two turns.

Struggle can hit through {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Struggle does not gain a boost by {{a|Reckless}} even though the user takes recoil. The user still takes recoil damage even if its Ability is {{a|Magic Guard}} or {{a|Rock Head}}.

Struggle cannot be called by {{m|Assist}}, {{m|Me First}}, {{m|Metronome}}, or {{m|Sleep Talk}}, copied by {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Sketch}}, {{m|Transform}}, or {{a|Imposter}}, repeated by a Pokémon as a result of {{m|Encore}} or a held [[:Category:Choice items|choice item]], or forced by {{m|Instruct}}. It cannot be blocked by means such as {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Imprison}}, or {{a|Cursed Body}}, or prevented to be used multiple times in a row by {{m|Torment}}.

If a Pokémon is forced to use Struggle, it will not be able to [[Mega Evolve]], [[Ultra Burst]], power up a move into a [[Z-Move]], [[Dynamax]], or [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] on the same turn, as the menu from which this option would be selected never appears. If a Dynamax Pokémon is forced to use Struggle, it will not turn into a Max Move.

===Generation I===
{{MoveResearch|In {{jap|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, does Struggle work like the later {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}? (Does it hit ghosts, and takes no recoil when knocking out an opponent?)}}

If the user of Struggle attacks first and knocks itself out due to recoil damage, the opponent will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round. If Struggle breaks a {{m|substitute}}, the user will take no recoil damage.

Self-inflicted recoil damage from Struggle from the previous turn can be {{m|counter}}ed if the opponent did not make a move on the following turn.

Struggle can be copied by {{m|Mirror Move}}.

In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Stadium]], Struggle can hit Ghost Pokémon, and no recoil damage is taken if Struggle knocks out an opponent.

===Generations II and III===
The user will take recoil damage even if Struggle breaks a substitute.

===Generation IV===
{{MoveResearch|In this generation, is Shedinja the only exception? Or any Struggle user with 1 HP will knock itself out with recoil?}}

The recoil damage is rounded down except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, who will knock itself out with recoil damage.

Struggle now bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

Struggle will activate a target's held [[Chilan Berry]].

Struggle can no longer be copied by {{m|Mirror Move}}.

Despite having a base power of 60 or less, Struggle's power is not boosted by {{a|Technician}} in Generation IV.

===Generation V onwards===
Struggle's recoil calculation is now subject to standard rounding; for example, a Pokémon with 201 maximum HP using Struggle will have its recoil round down to 50, but 202 or 203 HP will round up to 51 recoil damage.

Struggle no longer activates the Chilan Berry.

Struggle's power is now boosted by {{a|Technician}}.

===Generation VIII===

==Learnset==
Struggle cannot be learned like other moves, but it will be automatically used by any Pokémon that is ordered to attack when it has no usable moves.

==In other games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Struggle has 30 base power, and 100% accuracy. The attack can be used when the Pokémon runs out of PP for its moves and the Pokémon attempts to use one of its moves. The user attacks enemy in front and receives recoil damage equal to ¼ of their maximum HP. It deals Normal-type damage, much like in [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] recoil damage is 20% of max HP instead. When used by a [[Gigantic Pokémon]], the move can damage nearby enemies in a 1 tile range around the user if used by a mobile Gigantic Pokémon, or enemies in the same room if used by stationary Gigantic Pokémon (such as {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}).

==Trivia==
* Struggle is the last [[Generation I]] move in [[List of moves|index number]] order.
* Even though Struggle can only be accessed by the loss of all PP, it was given {{pkmn|Contest}}, {{pkmn|Super Contest}}, and {{pkmn|Contest|Contest Spectacular}} stats.
* Struggle is one of two non-[[Shadow move]]s that cannot be copied by {{m|Sketch}} in any generation, the other being Sketch itself.
* In Generation I, Struggle was the only move that could not be called via {{m|Metronome}}, besides Metronome itself.
* Struggle has the lowest base power of all [[recoil]]-causing moves.
* Because it deals typeless damage, Struggle is the only damaging Normal-type move which can hit a {{type|Ghost}} opponent without the aid of {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{m|Foresight}}, a [[Ring Target]], or {{a|Scrappy}}. Except in Generation I, where it deals normal-type damage instead.
* Along with {{m|Barrage}} and {{m|Kinesis}}, Struggle is one of three moves introduced in Generation I that have not been featured in the main series {{pkmn|anime}}.
** Of these moves, it was the only one to exist in {{g|Sword and Shield|s}} prior to v1.2.0.
* Certain glitch Pokémon, including [[Generation IV hybrid]]s, [['Ng'Mp]], [['ゥ.]], and [[4, ゥァ (DD)]], can learn Struggle by level up.
* Should a player hack Struggle onto a Pokémon, it will not be displayed correctly in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s lab (not the case for [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|the previous game]]) and will be highlighted, as if it was a {{cat|Generation II moves|Generation II move}}. This does not happen when selecting a team for battle.
* In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, the move description erroneously states that Struggle inflicts recoil to the user equal to ¼ of the damage inflicted; the correct number in Generation I is ½.
* In Generation I, a glitch can occur making it impossible for a Pokémon to use Struggle if it has previously used {{m|Transform}} followed by either {{m|Metronome}} or {{m|Mirror Move}}. This renders the Pokémon completely unable to battle until its PP is restored.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7tQkSyz7E Pokemon R/B/Y - Transform + Mirror Move / Metronome PP glitch]</ref>

'''Nemona''' (Japanese: '''ネモ''' ''Nemo'') is the [[rival]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] and serves as the president of the academy's student council.

==In the core series games==
Nemona is a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked Pokémon Trainer and serves as a reliable guide for the player. She has an energetic personality, and loves Pokémon battles, which she excels at. However, she's not as good at throwing [[Poké Ball]]s.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/nemona/ Nemona — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> She, along with the player, is enrolled in the {{wp|general studies|general studies}} track of the academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Jacq]].

Nemona also participates in the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], although she has to manage the admin work when it is held for the first time, she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments.

===Pokémon===
===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
Nemona uses the {{pkmn2|starter}} with a [[type]] disadvantage to the one the player chooses. As shown in the game's opening cutscene, she also owns a Combat Breed {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}, but she is never seen using it elsewhere. She is also implied to have more Pokémon that are unseen by the player, as she became a Champion prior to her first battle with the player and repeatedly mentions needing to select a perfect team for her battles, and the official website for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet claims that Nemona uses {{p|Lechonk}} and {{p|Smoliv}} even though she is never seen using either of these Pokémon.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/lechonk/ Lechonk — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref><ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/smoliv/ Smoliv — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Additionally two of her Pokémon on her in game team, {{p|Dudunsparce}} and {{p|Orthworm}} are not seen until her final storyline battle implying that they were on her original team before the events of the game.

List of Pokémon with form differences

2023-03-30T12:50:10Z

Just a lurker: /* Greninja */

{{Oversized article notice}}
<div style="clear: right; float:right">__TOC__</div>
Some Pokémon have major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''forms''' (Japanese: '''すがた''' ''form''). These variations all have differing appearances and are recognized by the [[Pokédex]]. Some Pokémon with form differences can change between their forms (e.g. {{p|Castform}}), while others are fixed and cannot be changed (e.g. {{p|Unown}}).

Form differences were introduced in [[Generation II]], in which Unown was the only Pokémon to have them. All subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced multiple Pokémon with form differences. Pokémon able to change between their forms were first introduced in [[Generation III]].

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the Pokémon's attributes besides its appearance; however, several Pokémon differ in [[stat]]s, [[type]], [[Ability]], [[move]]s they can learn, etc. depending on their form. Among these are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], whose alternate forms are usually spelled as '''Formes''' (Japanese: '''フォルム''' ''Forme'').

Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], though {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not recognized separately in the Pokédex until [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. In [[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}}, whichever form is encountered first will be the sprite displayed in the Pokédex by default; for example, if West Sea {{p|Shellos}} was encountered first, its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first, its sprite will. In Generation II, the Pokédex has a separate [[Unown Mode]] to show the forms of Unown. In Generation IV, the "forms" section was added to the individual entries of each Pokémon, showing form differences that have been encountered, as well as [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]]. In [[Generation V]], the forms section returns and displays [[Shiny Pokémon]] as separate forms (if they have been encountered); additionally, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed using the forms section. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the forms section is only available after interacting with [[Cedric Juniper]] in [[Mistralton City]], while in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, it is available from the start. Starting in [[Generation VI]], the Pokédex does not have a separate forms section; instead, a Pokémon's forms (including Shiny forms and gender differences) that have been encountered can be switched between in the Pokémon's entry, and this changes the sprite shown in the Pokédex.

==Pokémon with multiple forms==
===Regional forms===
{{main|Regional form}}
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], regional forms (formerly called regional variants) were introduced. These are Pokémon that have adapted specifically for the environment of the [[region]] they reside in and thus differ in appearance, as well as possibly other attributes such as [[type]], [[move]]s, [[Ability]], or [[base stats]], from the same species of Pokémon as found in other regions. Four regions are known to have their own regional forms: Alolan Forms are found in [[Alola]], Galarian Forms are found in [[Galar]], Hisuian Forms are found in [[Hisui]], and Paldean Forms are found in [[Paldea]].

===Gender differences===
{{main|List of Pokémon with gender differences}}
Though the majority of Pokémon have no visual distinction between their [[gender]]s, there are some that do. Gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]], with multiple Pokémon from earlier generations having been updated to have these differences in addition to new Pokémon having them. Most gender differences affect nothing beyond the Pokémon's appearance; however, there are a number of exceptions, with {{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, and {{p|Oinkologne}} also differing in the [[move]]s they can learn and their [[Ability|Abilities]], and Indeedee, {{p|Basculegion}}, and Oinkologne differing in [[base stats]].

===Mega Evolutions===
{{main|Mega Evolution}}
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Mega Evolution was introduced, allowing certain Pokémon to achieve a more powerful form in battle. Mega Evolution may only be achieved if the Pokémon's {{pkmn|Trainer}} possesses a [[Key Stone]] and the Pokémon [[Held item|holds]] the [[Mega Stone]] corresponding to its species (with the sole exception of {{p|Rayquaza}}), and a Trainer can only Mega Evolve their Pokémon once per battle. In addition to altering the Pokémon's appearance, Mega Evolution changes its [[base stats]], and may also change its [[type]] and [[Ability]]. Mega Evolution has been removed from the core series as of [[Generation VIII]].

===Gigantamax forms===
{{main|Gigantamax}}
Gigantamax is a mechanic featured only in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. It is a special type of [[Dynamax]] that causes the Pokémon's appearance to change beyond simply an increase in size. Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax, and even among Pokémon with Gigantamax forms, only those possessing a trait known as the Gigantamax Factor may Gigantamax. Gigantamaxing has many of the same effects as regular Dynamaxing; however, when a Pokémon Gigantamaxes, its attacking moves of a certain [[type]] are replaced with that Pokémon's exclusive [[G-Max Move]], rather than regular [[Max Move]]s.

===Pikachu===
====Cosplay Pikachu====
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
Cosplay Pikachu is a unique [[Gender|female]] {{p|Pikachu}} who has a black heart-shaped mark at the end of its tail. It only appears in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], in which it is obtained from a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after the player takes part in their first {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}. It is able to be dressed up into different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[Contest condition|conditions]] ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}) and learn a [[move]] associated with that condition that it otherwise could not learn. Cosplay Pikachu can change or remove its costume at any [[Contest Hall]], forgetting the move it learned with the last costume (if it still knows it) and learning the move from the new costume (if applicable). If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

Unlike other Pikachu, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. It also cannot be [[trade]]d via the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or [[Wonder Trade]]. Additionally, as it is not present in any games besides Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]], and does not register as a separate form in Pokémon Bank's [[Pokédex]] despite it registering separately in the Pokédex of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

====Pikachu in a cap====
{{main|Pikachu in a cap}}
These cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot [[evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. They are also able to use the event-exclusive [[Z-Crystal]] [[Pikashunium Z]] and its corresponding [[Z-Move]] {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Their [[cry]] differs from that of regular Pikachu.

Six variants exist in Sun and Moon, one for each of [[Ash's hat]]s from the anime's [[original series]] to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. A seventh variant debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], wearing the Partner Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]''. An eighth variant debuted in the Version 1.2.0 update of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], wearing the World Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

The original six Pikachu in caps were distributed via [[serial code]]s in Pokémon Sun and Moon in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s 20th movie, and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Partner Cap Pikachu was distributed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon via a [[QR Code]] that can be [[QR Scanner|scanned]]. All eight Pikachu in caps (including World Cap Pikachu) were distributed via serial codes in Pokémon Sword and Shield to commemorate the anime's [[JN040|timeslot change]] to Fridays in Japan; uniquely, the Pikachu from this distribution can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} from the [[Move Reminder]], {{OBP|Jack|Galar}}.

===Paldean Tauros===
{{anchor|Paldean Tauros}}
{{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}} has three non-interchangeable forms: Combat Breed, Blaze Breed, and Aqua Breed. Visually, each breed has different horns, manes, and tails. The breeds have different [[type]]s, with Combat Breed being {{type|Fighting}}, Blaze Breed being dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Fire}}, and Aqua Breed being dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Water}}. They also learn different [[move]]s, and the type of Tauros's [[signature move]] {{m|Raging Bull}} changes based on the user's form, being Fighting-type for Combat Breed, Fire-type for Blaze Breed, and Water-type for Aqua Breed.

*In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Blaze Breed is found exclusively in Pokémon Scarlet, while the Aqua Breed is found exclusively in Pokémon Violet.

===Pichu===
{{main|Spiky-eared Pichu}}
Spiky-eared Pichu is a unique [[Gender|female]] {{p|Pichu}} that has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. It only appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Spiky-eared Pichu cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], and its [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats differ from those of a normal Pichu.

The [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]] is a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed in [[Event Pokémon|event]]s in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}; if it is [[trade]]d to Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to the [[Ilex Forest]], Spiky-eared Pichu will join the player (this will still happen even if the Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves before or after being traded). This is the only way to obtain Spiky-eared Pichu, and it cannot be traded, so only one can be obtained per game. It also cannot be [[transfer]]red to the [[Generation V]] games.

===Unown===
{{p|Unown}} has many forms, each of them corresponding to a typographical character. All Unown forms are known as "One form" (Japanese: あるすがた ''a form''), as seen in the Pokédex from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] onwards, as well as in [[Pokémon HOME]].

It was the first Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From its debut in [[Generation II]], there are 26 forms of Unown, each corresponding to each of the 26 letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. Starting in the [[Generation III]] games, Unown has two additional forms, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation mark}}. These forms are not interchangeable.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is a special [[Unown Mode]], an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the [[Ruins of Alph]] to record the different forms of Unown, which is available after the player has caught several Unown. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is the [[Unown Report]], which is obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the Ruins of Alph.

In the Generation II games, Unown's form is determined by its {{IV}}s, which results in some strange phenomena; for example, in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be {{Shiny}} due to Shininess also being determined by IVs in these games. In the [[Generation III]] games, Unown's form is determined by its [[personality value]]. From the Generation IV games onward, Unown's letter is determined by a [[Pokémon data structure (Generation IV)#Alternate forms|separate form identifier]], unrelated to the personality value.

Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], punctuation Unown have different [[performance]] stats to alphabetical Unown.

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}} has four different interchangeable forms, which it switches between based on the [[weather]] in {{pkmn|battle}}s due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}}. Each of its forms has a different [[type]] to match the weather. Castform was the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms.

By default, Castform is {{type|Normal}} and has a plain appearance with a gray body. It is always in this form outside of battle, and it begins battles in this form. It remains in this form in clear weather, in any weather without a specific form, or if the weather has its effects negated by an active Ability.

In [[harsh sunlight]], Forecast changes Castform into its Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}} and resembles the sun. In [[rain]], Forecast changes Castform into its Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}} and resembles a raindrop. In {{weather|hail}}, Forecast changes Castform into its Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}} and resembles a snowy cloud. Castform reverts to its normal form when [[Recall|withdrawn]] from battle.

In [[Generation III|Generations III]] and {{gen|IV}}, if Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). From [[Generation V]] onward, if Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its normal form (regardless of the weather).

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], {{Shiny}} Castform only appeared Shiny in its normal form.

===Kyogre and Groudon===
{{anchor|Kyogre}}
{{anchor|Groudon}}
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} gained new forms, which they achieve through a phenomenon called [[Primal Reversion]]. When sent out in battle, Kyogre will change into Primal Kyogre if holding a [[Blue Orb]], while Groudon will change into Primal Groudon if holding a [[Red Orb]]. Unlike [[Mega Evolution]], these changes happen automatically once they become active in battle, and the player is not prompted for them. They revert back to their regular forms after the battle ends. These forms returned in [[Generation VII]], but have been removed from the core series as of [[Generation VIII]], like Mega Evolution.

The forms differ in [[base stats]], [[Ability]], [[cry]], and, in Groudon's case, [[type]].

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}} has four different forms which it can switch between. It was the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and the [[move]]s it could learn differed depending on its form.

In [[Generation III]], Deoxys's forms are game-specific, such that it will always be in one particular form while in the player's possession (although it will always be in Normal Forme in the {{pkmn2|wild}}). Its form can only be changed by [[Trade|trading]] it to a different game.
*In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], it will be in Normal Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, it will be in Attack Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, it will be in Defense Forme.
*In {{game|Emerald}}, it will be in Speed Forme.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, the player can switch between its forms by interacting with certain meteorites while it is in the [[party]]:
*In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], using meteorites outside in [[Veilstone City]].
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, using meteorites outside on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.
*In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, and White 2]], using the meteorite in the {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}} in [[Nacrene City]].
*In {{g|X and Y}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Fossil Lab}} in [[Ambrette Town]].
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, using the meteorite in [[Professor Cozmo]]'s house in [[Fallarbor Town]].
*In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], using the meteorite next to [[Sophocles]] in the [[Hokulani Observatory]] on [[Mount Hokulani]].

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes. In this form, it has very high {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}, but low {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, alongside a low {{stat|HP}} stat (which remains the same in all of its forms).

Deoxys's Attack Forme has even higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} than its other forms (having the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} and second highest {{stat|Attack}} of any non-Mega Evolved, non-Primal Pokémon) and learns more offensive moves. Its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are abysmal, much lower than its Normal Forme. Its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its Normal Forme.

Deoxys's Defense Forme has much higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than its other forms and learns more defensive moves. Its {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}} are much lower than its Normal Forme.

Deoxys's Speed Forme has much higher {{stat|Speed}} than its other forms (being the Pokémon with the second-highest Speed) and learns many increased [[priority]] moves. Additionally, its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are higher than its Normal Forme, while its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are lower than its Normal Forme.

===Burmy and Wormadam===
{{anchor|Burmy}}
{{anchor|Wormadam}}
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms. Burmy can change form freely, changing its cloak depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle (so [[Exp. Share]] alone will not change its form). Wormadam cannot change form; when a Burmy evolves into Wormadam, it retains its cloak.

Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic; conversely, different cloaks of Wormadam have different [[type]]s, [[stat]]s, and learnsets. Bred Burmy will have the same cloak as the mother, will be in the same cloak as a Burmy or Wormadam bred with {{p|Ditto}}, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a Ditto.

If a Burmy last battled in a grassy area or water, it changes into its Plant Cloak. If female, Plant Cloak Burmy will evolve into Plant Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of leaves and twigs.

If a Burmy last battled in a sandy or rocky area, it changes into its Sandy Cloak. If female, Sandy Cloak Burmy will evolve into Sandy Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of sand and rocks.

If a Burmy last battled in a building or urban area, it changes into its Trash Cloak. If female, Trash Cloak Burmy will evolve into Trash Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}.

===Cherrim===
{{p|Cherrim}} changes form depending on the [[weather]] in battle. During [[harsh sunlight]] (and without an active [[Ability]] nullifying the weather), it changes into Sunshine Form; otherwise, it is in its Overcast Form. Due to its Ability {{a|Flower Gift}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} increase in its Sunshine Form. Outside of battle, it is always in Overcast Form.

In [[Generation IV]], Cherrim changes form independently of its Ability. Starting in [[Generation V]], it is Cherrim's Ability that changes its form, except in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], in which Cherrim's form and stats change without Flower Gift due to the game's lack of Abilities.

In Japanese, the names of Cherrim's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise primarily used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.

===Shellos and Gastrodon===
{{anchor|Shellos}}
{{anchor|Gastrodon}}
{{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} each have two different forms: West Sea and East Sea. In most cases, where they are encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} determines their form. This is purely a cosmetic difference, and these Pokémon cannot change between forms.

West Sea Shellos is pink and white in color, with West Sea Gastrodon being pink and brown, whereas East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are both blue and green in color. There is also a slight difference in shape depending on the form.

In [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hisui]], West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered west of [[Mount Coronet]], while East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered east of Mount Coronet. In [[Paldea]], West Sea Shellos is encountered in [[West Province (Area Two)]] and West Sea Gastrodon is encountered in [[Casseroya Lake]], while East Sea Shellos is encountered in [[East Province (Area One)]] and [[South Province (Area Five)]] and East Sea Gastrodon is encountered in [[North Province (Area One)]]; both forms of each can also be found in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s regardless of location. In other [[region]]s, only one form appears in the wild per game (with the other only obtainable via [[trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]): Gastrodon only appears in its West Sea form in [[Kalos]]'s [[Friend Safari]]; in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Shellos appears as a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}}, with West Sea appearing in Omega Ruby and East Sea appearing in Alpha Sapphire; and in [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon appear in the wild.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Shellos are always the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Shellos or Gastrodon parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Rotom===
{{redirect|Heat|the Badge given by [[Flannery]]|Badge#Heat Badge|Badge → Heat Badge}}
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|Rotom and the appliances]]
{{p|Rotom}} has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its normal form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.
*When Rotom has not possessed an appliance (or, in [[Generation VIII]], is possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}), it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}.
*Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}.
*Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}.
*Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}.
*Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}.
*Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from Generation V onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same [[base stats]], with a higher total than that of Rotom's regular form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

*In {{game|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{si|Secret Key}}.
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]].
*In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, and White 2]], the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
*In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the {{DL|South Boulevard|Sycamore Pokémon Lab}} in [[Lumiose City]].
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]].
*In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Kukui]]'s lab in [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli Outskirts]].
*In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]], the [[Rotom Catalog]] appears as a [[Key Item]] that allows the player to change Rotom's form at will wherever they are. In Sword and Shield, it can be obtained in a house in [[Wyndon]] from a {{tc|League Staff}} member after defeating him in {{pkmn|battle}}. In Scarlet and Violet, it can be purchased from an auction in [[Porto Marinada]] if the player owns a Rotom.
*In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], an appliance may sometimes be sold by [[Ginter]] of the [[Ginkgo Guild]]; after being purchased, it is placed in the player's [[Jubilife Village#Your Quarters|quarters]].
Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to its normal form (with the exception of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, in which the Rotom Catalog is used instead, obtained in Rotom's Room after Rotom enters one of the appliances). In [[Generation IV]], Rotom changes back to its normal form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]].

[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom are always in their normal form.

Upon changing into an appliance form, Rotom will learn the special move associated with the form, and upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget that special move. When changing form, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its normal form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|V}}, if Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form. Starting in Generation VI, Rotom can remain in an appliance form even if it forgets the associated special move.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

===Creation trio===
{{anchor|Dialga}}
{{anchor|Palkia}}
{{anchor|Giratina}}
The [[creation trio]] have the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme. Giratina is unique, as its standard form is called Altered Forme.

The base forms of Dialga and Palkia, and Giratina's Altered Forme, first debuted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. {{p|Giratina}}'s Origin Forme was first introduced in {{game|Platinum}} while {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s Origin Formes were introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina can switch between their two forms by being exposed to the [[Adamant Crystal]], [[Lustrous Globe]], and [[Griseous Orb]]/[[Griseous Core]] respectively. If any of the three is deposited in [[Pokémon HOME]] in Origin Forme, it will revert to its base form.

The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Dialga's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Special Defense}}, Palkia's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Speed}}, and Giratina's Origin Forme has its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} switched with its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} (in all cases, the base stat totals are unchanged). In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, all three [[Legendary Pokémon]]'s signature moves have modified base power and accuracy when used by their Origin Formes as well as unique animations.

In the [[Pokémon world]], Giratina is in its Altered Forme, while in the [[Distortion World]] or while holding a Griseous Orb, it is in its Origin Forme.

===Shaymin===
{{p|Shaymin}} has two forms it can change between. The Sky Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is {{type|Grass}} and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a [[Gracidea]], Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type and white in color.

Sky Forme Shaymin will revert back into and remain in its Land Forme at night or if it is {{status|frozen}}; Shaymin also changes back to Land Forme when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to [[Generation VII]]), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII onward), when deposited in [[Pokémon Bank]] (but not [[Pokémon HOME]]), or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Sky Forme Shaymin will also revert to Land Forme when exposed to a Gracidea again, and will not revert back into its Land Forme at night unless it enters a {{pkmn|battle}} during the night.

The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, [[move]]s they can learn, and [[cry|cries]].

|}{{-}}

===Arceus===
{{p|Arceus}} has multiple different forms that it switches between with its Ability {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy type as a whole.

By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to.

In games prior to Legends: Arceus, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target (prioritizing any double weaknesses the target may have); this also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. It reverts back to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. If Arceus is deposited into [[Pokémon HOME]] while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into Pokémon HOME, these effects wear off.

In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} while in its {{type|Dragon}} form.

In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be obtained in the games as there is no ???-type Plate. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Arceus's alternate forms were not registered separately in the [[Pokédex]].

===Basculin===
{{p|Basculin}} has three different forms: Red-Striped Form, Blue-Striped Form, and White-Striped Form. The Red-Striped Form has red stripes with wide, red eyes and spiky fins; the Blue-Striped Form has blue stripes with blue, squinted eyes and smooth fins; and the White-Striped Form has a combination of both fin styles with cyan stripes and wide, cyan eyes. These forms are non-interchangeable.

*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2}}, Red-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Blue-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by {{m|surf}}ing on or [[fishing]] in [[Phenomenon|rippling water]].
*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|White 2}}, Blue-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by surfing on or fishing in rippling water.
*In {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, Blue-Striped Basculin can only be encountered using a [[Good Rod]] while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered using a [[Super Rod]]. This order is reversed in Pokémon Y, with Red-Striped Basculin requiring a Good Rod and Blue-Striped Basculin requiring a Super Rod. {{rt|21|Kalos}} is the exception, where only Red-Striped Basculin can be caught with either rod.
*In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Red-Striped Basculin are found [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusively]] in Ultra Sun, while Blue-Striped Basculin are found exclusively in Ultra Moon.
*In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], Red-Striped Basculin are found exclusively in Sword, while Blue-Striped Basculin are found exclusively in Shield.
*White-Striped Basculin were not introduced until [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. They are the only form encountered in this game.
* In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], Red-Striped Basculin and Blue-Striped Basculin can both be found in the wild in both versions. White-Striped Basculin is unobtainable without being transferred from [[Pokémon HOME]].

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Basculin are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Basculin parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

The three forms differ in their {{Abilities}}, with {{a|Reckless}} being exclusive to Red-Striped Basculin, {{a|Rock Head}} being exclusive to Blue-Striped Basculin, and {{a|Rattled}} being exclusive to White-Striped Basculin, though all three forms share {{a|Adaptability}} as a possible Ability and {{a|Mold Breaker}} as a {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}}. Additionally, wild Red-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a [[Deep Sea Tooth]], while wild Blue-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a [[Deep Sea Scale]]. White-Striped Basculin differ from the other two forms in the [[move]]s they can learn, and are also the only one of the forms that can evolve into {{p|Basculegion}}.

White-Striped Basculin is considered to be a {{rf|Hisuian|Form}}, though it is unique in that its name does not use the "Hisuian" prefix.

In Pokémon Black and White, Blue-Striped Basculin have the same two standard possible Abilities as Red-Striped Basculin, {{a|Reckless}} and {{a|Adaptability}} (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D]]); however, the Blue-Striped Basculin that can be obtained via in-game trade in Pokémon White has the Ability {{a|Rock Head}}. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, wild Blue-Striped Basculin's two standard possible Abilities were changed to {{a|Rock Head}} and {{a|Adaptability}}, while Red-Striped Basculin's stay the same (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]); however, Blue-Striped Basculin [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 have Reckless and Adaptability as their two standard Abilities. When a Blue-Striped Basculin with Reckless is [[transfer]]red from [[Generation V]] to [[Pokémon Bank]], its Ability is changed to Rock Head.

===Darmanitan===
If {{p|Darmanitan}} has {{a|Zen Mode}} as its Ability, it changes from Standard Mode into Zen Mode when its {{stat|HP}} drops to or below half in {{pkmn|battle}}s. It is in Zen Mode in battle only.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color. Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color. Galarian Darmanitan is {{type|Ice}} and white in color with blue accents, while Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Ice|Fire}}-type and white in color with red accents.

The original two forms have different stats, such that Zen Mode Darmanitan swaps the Attack and Special Attack of Standard Mode, and has higher defenses but lower Speed. On the other hand, Galarian Darmanitan, in its Zen Mode, simply has increased Attack and Speed compared to its Standard Mode.

===Deerling and Sawsbuck===
{{anchor|Deerling}}
{{anchor|Sawsbuck}}
{{Incomplete|section|needs=Needs more Gen 9 details (how exactly the form changes, breeding, etc.)}}
{{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} have four different forms, each corresponding to a {{OBP|season|mechanic}}. These forms are interchangeable in [[Generation V]] and [[Generation IX]] but not in other games. They are purely cosmetic.

In the Generation V games, Deerling and Sawsbuck will change their form to match the current season if they are in the [[party]] when the season changes. All {{pkmn2|wild}}, [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck will match the current season, with the exception of those owned by NPC Trainers in the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], which are always in Spring Form.

In [[Generation VI|Generations VI]] through {{gen|VIII}}, with the abandonment of seasons as a mechanic, Deerling and Sawsbuck are unable to change their form. All wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck are in Spring Form, while bred Deerling are in the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Deerling or Sawsbuck parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}. The Summer, Autumn, and Winter forms are only obtainable via [[transfer]] from a [[Generation V]] game or from [[Pokémon GO]].

In Generation IX, Deerling and Sawsbuck are once again able to change forms, but the form they will become is now based on the location that the game was loaded in rather than the season. Wild Deerling and Sawsbuck also vary in form based on location. In [[Paldea]], Spring Form corresponds to the South Province, Summer Form to the East Province, Autumn Form to the West Province, and Winter Form to the North Province.

===Forces of Nature===
{{anchor|Tornadus}}
{{anchor|Thundurus}}
{{anchor|Landorus}}
{{anchor|Enamorus}}
The [[Forces of Nature]]—{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}—have two interchangeable forms each.

By default, they are in their Incarnate Formes. When exposed to the [[Reveal Glass]], they change into Therian Forme; if exposed to the Reveal Glass again, they revert back to Incarnate Forme. Their Therian Formes were introduced in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, except for in the case of Enamorus, which had both of its forms introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Each Therian Forme only has one possible Ability, despite the Incarnate Formes having different Hidden Abilities.

In the [[Generation V]] games, these Pokémon cannot be [[trade]]d while in Therian Forme. This prevents Therian Formes from being traded to {{g|Black and White}}, where they don't exist.

|}

===Kyurem===
{{p|Kyurem}}, in addition to its normal form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, which they were introduced in.

Kyurem changes its form through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. The combination retains Kyurem's attributes, such as its [[level]], [[Poké Ball]], [[held item]], [[game of origin]], [[personality value]], {{IV}}s, {{EV}}s, [[nickname]], [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID number, secret ID number]], met location, [[Pokérus]], and so on. This fusion can be reversed by using the DNA Splicers again, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[Pokémon HOME]], nor can they be [[trade]]d or [[release]]d without having the fusion undone first.

White Kyurem has the [[Ability]] {{a|Turboblaze}} and learns the [[move]]s {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Ice Burn}} by leveling up, and its [[cry]] is a combination of normal Kyurem and Reshiram's cries. Black Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Teravolt}} and learns the moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}} by leveling up, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.

When Kyurem becomes fused with or separated from either Reshiram or Zekrom while it knows certain moves, Kyurem's moveset will automatically be updated without prompting the player. Fusing Kyurem will replace {{m|Scary Face}} with either Fusion Bolt or Fusion Flare, and replace {{m|Glaciate}} with either Freeze Shock or Ice Burn, if one or both of these moves are present. Reversing the fusion will perform the inverse of these move transformations. In [[Generation VIII]], it is possible for Kyurem to learn Scary Face by [[TM]] after becoming fused; in these games, if Kyurem becomes unfused while it knows both Scary Face and the fusion move, the fusion move will change back to Scary Face and then all but the earliest instance of Scary Face will be deleted from the moveset, to prevent having duplicate copies of the same move.

===Keldeo===
{{p|Keldeo}} has two interchangeable forms: Ordinary Form and Resolute Form. These forms are mostly cosmetic. The Resolute Form was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.

If Keldeo is taught {{m|Secret Sword}} in Pokémon Black 2 or White 2, or in any game in [[Generation VI]] or later, it will change into Resolute Form. If it forgets Secret Sword, it returns to Ordinary Form. Keldeo taught Secret Sword in {{game|Black and White|s}} remain in Ordinary Form when [[trade]]d or [[transfer]]red to later games, though in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], an Ordinary Form Keldeo that knows Secret Sword will change to Resolute Form if it is in the [[party]] at the end of a {{pkmn|battle}}, or upon learning or forgetting any [[move]] other than Secret Sword.

===Meloetta===
{{p|Meloetta}} has two interchangeable forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. The two forms have different [[type]]s, with Aria Forme being {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} and Pirouette Forme being {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}. Their [[base stats]] also differ, with Pirouette Forme having higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Speed}} but lower {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than Aria Forme.

Meloetta starts {{pkmn|battle}}s in Aria Forme. If it uses the move {{m|Relic Song}}, it changes between the two forms. It reverts to Aria Forme if withdrawn. Outside of battle, Meloetta is always in its Aria Forme.

===Genesect===
{{p|Genesect}} has five interchangeable forms. Its form changes to match the [[Drive]] it [[held item|hold]]s, which also changes the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.

*If no Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Normal}} and Genesect will appear to have a dark yellow Drive.
*If a [[Shock Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Electric}} and Genesect will appear to have a light yellow Drive.
*If a [[Burn Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Fire}} and Genesect will appear to have a red Drive.
*If a [[Chill Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Ice}} and Genesect will appear to have a cyan Drive.
*If a [[Douse Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Water}} and Genesect will appear to have a blue Drive.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Genesect's alternate forms were not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Greninja===
{{redirect|Ash-Greninja|the Greninja that belonged to [[Ash Ketchum]]|Ash's Greninja}}
In the [[S19|''XY&Z'' arc]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', [[Ash's Greninja]] gained the ability to transform into a stronger form known as "Ash-Greninja" through an occurrence referred to as [[Bond Phenomenon]]. This form was introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

In the [[Generation VII]] games, a {{p|Greninja}} with the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}} will transform into Ash-Greninja after it directly causes an opponent to [[fainting|faint]] without ending the battle. It will remain in this form until either it faints or the battle ends; in the former case, this prevents it from changing back into Ash-Greninja for the remainder of the battle. Ash-Greninja has different [[base stats]] than regular Greninja, with increased {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}; additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Water Shuriken}} will be more [[power]]ful and always hit 3 times. Ash-Greninja is not present in {{g|Scarlet and Violet|s}} due to Battle Bond having its effect changed.

Internally, normal Greninja with Battle Bond are considered to be a separate form to Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. These Greninja are always [[gender|male]], cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, and, like [[Special Pokémon]], are banned from the [[Battle Spot]]. A Greninja with Battle Bond can be transferred to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This is the only way to obtain it, as it is now unobtainable for players who did not download the demo before the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023.

[[File:Vivillon locations 1.png|thumb|Vivillon locations in Generation VI and VII]]
[[File:Vivillon locations 2.png|thumb|Vivillon locations in Generation VI and VII]]
[[File:Vivillon locations GO.png|thumb|Vivillon locations via Postcards in Generation IX]]

{{p|Vivillon}} has 18 different patterns that it can have on its wings. In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], its pattern depends on the set geographic location of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] system on which it was generated (for {{pkmn|Egg}}s, this means the game in which the Egg was created, regardless of parents). This form cannot be changed. {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}} have the pattern of Vivillon they will evolve into already set. The pattern of Vivillon encountered within a game is determined from the system's set geographic location when the save file is created and cannot be changed later unless the game is reset.

Locations within a country can have a different form than merely selecting a country without setting a specific location. The China region is only available from the 3DS distributed for that region.

In [[Generation IX]], all wild Vivillion will have the Fancy pattern by default. However, transferring a Postcard from [[Pokémon GO]] using the [[Mystery Gift]] feature in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} will change the pattern of all wild Vivillion depending on the location the Postcard came from. This effect lasts 24 hours in real-time, or until another Postcard is used. If no Postcard is used by the end of the effect, wild Vivillon will revert to Fancy. Changing the time and date of the [[Nintendo Switch]] system may end the effect prematurely. Only one Pokémon GO account may be linked per day, and an account cannot send more than one Postcard in a day. Furthermore, a Pokémon Scarlet and Violet save file may not receive the same Postcard more than once.

Like in previous generations, the pattern Scatterbug and Spewpa will evolve into is set at the moment they're caught, and is not affected by any active Postcard at the moment of their evolution. All [[Pokémon breeding|hatched]] Scatterbug will evolve into the Fancy pattern regardless of Postcard effects.

Using the [[Union Circle]] feature, players are able to see and catch wild Vivillion from other players' games, allowing them to catch various patterns of Vivillion regardless of whether they own a matching Postcard.

By default, all Vivillon originating from {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} have the Fancy Pattern, regardless of the set geographic location of the Nintendo Switch system; however, receiving a Postcard will change the pattern of wild Vivillion for a time.

===Flabébé, Floette, and Florges===
{{anchor|Flabébé}}
{{anchor|Floette}}
{{anchor|Florges}}
{{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Floette}}, and {{p|Florges}} have one of five different flower colors: red, yellow, orange, blue, and white. The flower color is maintained through [[evolution]] and cannot be changed.

In {{g|X and Y}}, Flabébé appear in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in {{DL|Tall grass|flowers}}, with the colors of Flabébé's flower available depending on the flower patch (although each flower patch has multiple Flabébé flower colors). In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, wild Yellow Flower Flabébé appear in [[Melemele Meadow]], with Orange and White Flower Flabébé appearing as its allies called in an [[SOS Battle]]; wild Red Flower Floette appear in [[Ula'ula Meadow]], with Orange and White Flower Floette appearing as its allies called in an SOS Battle; and wild Blue Flower Floette appear in [[Poni Meadow]] and do not call for help.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Flabébé have the same color flower as their mother, or the same form as the Flabébé, Floette, or Florges parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

In [[Generation VI]], since only Blue Flower, Red Flower, and Yellow Flower Floette can appear in the [[Friend Safari]], only these forms of Flabébé, Floette, and Florges can have their {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}} {{a|Symbiosis}}. In [[Generation VII]], all forms of the Flabébé evolutionary line can have their Hidden Ability, though the Blue Flower forms cannot be caught with it and must be [[transfer]]red with it from a prior game in order to have it.

[[File:AZ's Floette.png|thumb|200px|AZ's unique Floette]]
In the storyline of {{g|X and Y}}, there is also a unique Floette who [[AZ]] befriended 3,000 years ago. The flower it wields has a different design than normal, resembling the structure of the ancient [[ultimate weapon]] constructed by AZ; the form also has a blue, red, and white color scheme instead of green, yellow, and white, reflecting the colors of the {{wp|Flag of France|French tricolor}}. The [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games include unused data for this Floette as a usable form known as Eternal Flower Floette, but it is unobtainable. Unlike the other forms, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], does not have the {{Hidden Ability}} {{a|Symbiosis}}, and can learn the otherwise unused move {{m|Light of Ruin}} at [[level]] 50, being the [[Signature move|only Pokémon able to do so]]. Additionally, all of its [[base stats]] are greater than those of a regular Floette.

===Furfrou===
{{p|Furfrou}} can be groomed into one of nine different trims. It can only remain with one of these trims for five days after being groomed. Furfrou will also lose its trim when it is deposited in a [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] (in [[Generation VI]]), withdrawn from a Box (in [[Generation VII]]), deposited in [[Pokémon Bank]], or deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]]. It is in its Natural Form by default, and will revert to this form if it loses its trim. However, it is possible to deposit trimmed Furfrou in [[Pokémon HOME]] by [[GO Transporter|transferring]] them from [[Pokémon GO]].

The location at which Furfrou can be groomed differs between games:
*In {{g|X and Y}}, Furfrou can be groomed at {{DL|Lumiose City|Friseur Furfrou}} in [[Lumiose City]] for {{PDollar}}500. The player gains access to more trims as they become more [[Lumiose City#Style|stylish]].
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Furfrou can be groomed at the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Slateport City]] for {{PDollar}}500.
*In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Furfrou can be groomed for {{PDollar}}500 by a {{tc|Punk Girl}} at [[Malie City]]'s salon or a {{tc|Beauty}} at [[Hau'oli City]]'s salon{{sup/7|USUM}}.

In Pokémon X and Y only, Furfrou's trims are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Aegislash===
{{p|Aegislash}}, due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Stance Change}}, can change forms in {{pkmn|battle}} depending on the [[move]]s it uses. It starts battles in its Shield Forme; using a damaging move will change it to Blade Forme, and using {{m|King's Shield}} will change it back into Shield Forme (both form changes take place immediately before the move is used). It reverts to Shield Forme when [[Recall|switched out]]. Outside of battle, it is always in Shield Forme.

The two forms have different [[base stats]], with Shield Forme Aegislash having high {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} while Blade Forme Aegislash instead has high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}.

===Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist===
{{anchor|Pumpkaboo}}
{{anchor|Gourgeist}}
{{p|Pumpkaboo}} and {{p|Gourgeist}} each have four different sizes: Small, Average, Large, or Super. Larger sizes of Pumpkaboo are rarer to encounter in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. These forms are non-interchangeable.

Different sizes have different [[base stats]]. For Pumpkaboo, with each increase in size, its base {{stat|HP}} stat increases by 5 points while its base {{stat|Speed}} stat decreases by 5 points. For Gourgeist, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 10 points and its base {{stat|Attack}} stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 15 points. Consequently, the base stat total of a Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist does not vary with size.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or the same size as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild Super Size Pumpkaboo will always hold a [[Miracle Seed]], whereas other sizes will never hold an [[item]] in the wild. Super Size variants have different, lower-pitched [[Cry|cries]] than the other forms, and are also the only Pokémon to have the XXL size designation in [[Pokémon GO]].

Previously, only Average Size and Super Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist could have their {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}} {{a|Insomnia}}. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]]; Super Size could be obtained with its Hidden Ability from {{pkmn2|event}}s. Since Version 1.2.0 of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], all sizes can be obtained with their Hidden Abilities via [[Ability Patch]]es.

The different sizes of Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist do not use different menu sprites, except in [[Pokémon HOME]].

===Xerneas===
{{p|Xerneas}} has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]s, and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and [[summary]] screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the Pokédex, Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.

Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, the protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.

===Zygarde===
{{p|Zygarde}} has three different Formes, as well as two distinct constituent parts. The 50% Forme debuted in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. The other two Formes and both constituent parts debuted in the {{pkmn|anime}} during the ''{{DL|List of Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|XY&Z}}'' arc of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', and made their [[core series]] debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

A Zygarde Cell is a single cell of Zygarde. They can be found scattered throughout the [[Alola]] region. They do not have thoughts or will, and can communicate with Zygarde Cores via telepathy. They are incapable of performing [[move]]s.

A Zygarde Core is a "brain" of Zygarde. They can communicate with Zygarde Cells and other Cores via telepathy. They take action when the region's ecosystem is threatened.

Zygarde 10% Forme is a Zygarde with 10% of its cells. It has razor-sharp teeth, and can reach speeds up to 60 mph (100 km/h). It can change into Complete Forme with its [[Ability]] {{a|Power Construct}}.

Zygarde 50% Forme is a Zygarde with 50% of its cells. It watches over and maintains the local ecosystem. It can change into Complete Forme with its Ability Power Construct.

A Zygarde with the Power Construct Ability will change into Complete Forme when its HP falls below half in a {{pkmn|battle}}.

Zygarde Complete Forme is a Zygarde with 100% of its cells. Zygarde only takes on this form when the ecosystem is under threat and it believes Zygarde 50% Forme is unable to deal with it. Its power is said to exceed that of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], the Aether Base on {{rt|16|Alola}} on [[Ula'ula Island]] contains a Reassembly Unit, which can be used to create Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde 50% Forme from Zygarde Cells and Cores in the player's [[Zygarde Cube]], or disassemble Zygarde with Aura Break back into Cells and Cores (Zygarde with Power Construct cannot be separated).

The player can create any number of Zygarde using the Reassembly Unit as long they have enough Cores and Cells. A Zygarde 10% Forme with Aura Break can be assembled with 10 Cells and Cores, a Zygarde 50% Forme with Aura Break can be assembled with 50 Cells and Cores, and a Zygarde 50% Forme with Power Construct can be assembled with 100 Cells and Cores. The Zygarde Cube can be used to change a Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme; Zygarde with Aura Break cannot change forms.

While only 100 Cells and Cores are normally available in one save file, the player can obtain more by separating Zygarde with Aura Break from other save files. A Zygarde separated into Cells will be lost forever.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player can collect Zygarde Cells and Cores in the overworld throughout the Alola region after obtaining the Zygarde Cube. There are a total of 5 Cores and 95 Cells throughout the region.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player can catch a wild Zygarde 50% Forme in [[Resolution Cave]] on [[Poni Island]]; after the player catches this Zygarde, [[Dexio]] will battle the player on {{rt|16|Alola}}, and upon being defeated, he will give the player the Zygarde Cube (containing 40 Zygarde Cells) and Zygarde 10% Forme.

===Hoopa===
{{p|Hoopa}} has two forms it can change between using the [[Prison Bottle]].

By default, Hoopa Confined is the form taken by Hoopa, which is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. When exposed to a Prison Bottle, Hoopa Confined transforms into Hoopa Unbound, which is {{2t|Psychic|Dark}}. Hoopa Unbound was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

Hoopa Unbound will change back into Hoopa Confined after three days have passed since using the Prison Bottle; Hoopa also changes back to Hoopa Confined when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to [[Generation VII]]), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII), or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]].

The two forms have different [[base stats]], [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]]. Additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} is usable only by Hoopa Unbound (or a Pokémon that has transformed into Hoopa Unbound with {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}), and will fail if Hoopa Confined (or any other Pokémon) attempts to use it.

===Oricorio===
{{p|Oricorio}} has four interchangeable forms. In [[Alola]], each of the four main islands has a different form of Oricorio in the [[Wild Pokémon|wild]]: Baile Style is found on [[Ula'ula Island]], Pom-Pom Style on [[Melemele Island]], Pa'u Style on [[Akala Island]], and Sensu Style on [[Poni Island]]. In [[Paldea]], only Baile Style and Pom-Pom Style Oricorio can be found in the wild. Oricorio can change between its forms by sipping [[Nectar]], with [[Red Nectar]] changing it to Baile Style, [[Yellow Nectar]] changing it to Pom-Pom Style, [[Pink Nectar]] changing it to Pa'u Style, and [[Purple Nectar]] changing it to Sensu Style. Each of Oricorio's four styles has a different primary [[type]]; Oricorio's [[signature move]] {{m|Revelation Dance}} changes type to match the user's primary type. The forms also have different [[cry|cries]].

===Lycanroc===
{{anchor|Rockruff}}
{{p|Lycanroc}} has three non-interchangeable forms: Midday Form, Midnight Form, and Dusk Form. In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}, {{p|Rockruff}} will only [[Evolution|evolve]] into Midday Form Lycanroc and can only do so in the [[Time|day]], while in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Moon}}, Rockruff will only evolve into Midnight Form Lycanroc and can only do so at [[Time|night]] (though both Midday Form and Midnight Form can be caught in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in all versions). In [[Generation VIII]] onward, Rockruff's evolution depends solely on the {{DL|Time|Time-based evolutions|time}} of day rather than what game it is in, with it evolving into Midday Form in the day and Midnight Form at night.

Dusk Form debuted in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}; only Rockruff with the [[Ability]] {{a|Own Tempo}} can evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc (and they are unable to evolve into the other two forms), and this evolution can only happen during the evening: from 5:00 to 5:59 PM in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, from 7:00 to 7:59 PM in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, and for 3 minutes out of the 72-minute day and night cycle in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}. Internally, the games consider Rockruff with Own Tempo to be a separate form than Rockruff with {{a|Keen Eye}}, {{a|Vital Spirit}}, or {{a|Steadfast}}, and Rockruff with Own Tempo and Dusk Form Lycanroc can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} to produce more Rockruff with Own Tempo. After initially being {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive, Own Tempo Rockruff and Dusk Form Lycanroc were later made available through normal means starting in Generation VIII.

Lycanroc's forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, [[move]]s they can learn, and [[cry|cries]].

===Wishiwashi===
{{p|Wishiwashi}} has two interchangeable forms: Solo Form and School Form. It can change between them using its {{a|Schooling}} [[Ability]] if it is at least [[level]] 20. Its two forms have different [[base stats]], with School Form having significantly higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}}, but lower {{stat|Speed}} and identical {{stat|HP}}. The two forms also have different [[Cry|cries]]. Outside of battle, Wishiwashi is always in Solo Form.

Wishiwashi starts {{pkmn|battle}}s in its Solo Form. If it is at least level 20 and has above 25% of its maximum {{stat|HP}} remaining when it enters battle, it will change into its School Form. If its remaining HP is at or below 25% of its maximum HP at the end of a turn, it will revert back to Solo Form; however, if it subsequently has above 25% of its maximum HP remaining at the end of a turn, it will change back into School Form. If it is switched out while in School Form, it will revert to its Solo Form.

===Silvally===
{{p|Silvally}} has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|RKS System}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type.

By default, Silvally is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s a [[memory]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the memory corresponds to.

In [[Generation VII]], Silvally can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} while in its {{type|Dragon}} form; however, in [[Generation VIII]], it can learn Draco Meteor regardless of its form.

===Minior===
{{p|Minior}} has two forms: Meteor Form and Core Form. It changes between them with its [[Ability]] {{a|Shields Down}}. It is always in Core Form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. In battles, [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Minior start in Meteor Form, while other Minior start in Core Form but are immediately transformed into Meteor Form by Shields Down after being sent out. If Meteor Form Minior's {{stat|HP}} is at or below 50% of its maximum HP at the end of a turn, its shell breaks and it changes into Core Form. It changes back into Meteor Form at the end of a turn if its HP is above 50% of its maximum HP.

Meteor Form and Core Form have different stats:
*Meteor Form Minior has lower attacking stats and {{stat|Speed}}, but higher defenses.
*Core Form Minior has higher attacking stats and Speed, but lower defenses.

Due to its Ability Shields Down, Meteor Form Minior cannot be afflicted by [[status condition]]s or become drowsy due to {{m|Yawn}}.

|}

Minior's Core Form can be one of seven different colors, each corresponding to one of the colors of a {{wp|rainbow}}. These forms are purely cosmetic and are non-interchangeable. [[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Minior will always have the same color as their parent.

===Mimikyu===
{{p|Mimikyu}} has two interchangeable forms: Disguised Form and Busted Form. It is always in Disguised Form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}s.

Mimikyu starts battles in its Disguised Form. When it is hit by a damaging [[move]], its [[Ability]] {{a|Disguise}} reduces the damage it takes from it: in [[Generation VII]], it takes no damage from it at all, and in [[Generation VIII]] onward, it nullifies the attack's damage but then loses 1/8 of its maximum {{stat|HP}}. Afterwards, its disguise slumps to the side and it changes into Busted Form. While in Busted Form, it can be damaged normally. Mimikyu will stay in Busted Form until either it [[fainted|faint]]s or the battle ends.

===Necrozma===
{{p|Necrozma}} has three additional forms: Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma. All three of these forms were introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

Dusk Mane Necrozma is the form it attains from absorbing {{p|Solgaleo}}. The player can induce and undo this fusion with the [[N-Solarizer]]. After fusing, Necrozma will attempt to learn {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, and can hold [[Solganium Z]] to access Solgaleo's exclusive [[Z-Move]], {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}. Its [[cry]] is a combination of normal Necrozma and Solgaleo's cries.

Dawn Wings Necrozma is the form it attains from absorbing {{p|Lunala}}. The player can induce and undo this fusion with the [[N-Lunarizer]]. After fusing, Necrozma will attempt to learn {{m|Moongeist Beam}}, and can hold [[Lunalium Z]] to access Lunala's exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}. Its cry is a combination of normal Necrozma and Lunala's cries.

If Necrozma separates from Solgaleo or Lunala while it knows the borrowed move (Sunsteel Strike or Moongeist Beam), that move will be forgotten. If the borrowed move was its only [[move]], Necrozma will learn {{m|Confusion}}.

Due to the mechanics of the N-Solarizer and N-Lunarizer, each player can have a maximum of one Dusk Mane Necrozma and one Dawn Wings Necrozma at a time per game (though having both at the same time requires [[Trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]ring for a second Necrozma). If it is fused with Solgaleo or Lunala, Necrozma cannot be traded, [[release]]d, or deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[Pokémon HOME]].

Ultra Necrozma is a third form Necrozma can attain if it enters a {{pkmn|battle}} in its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings form while holding its exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Ultranecrozium Z]], at which point the player can use the [[Ultra Burst]] command from the move menu to transform it into Ultra Necrozma. Once transformed, Ultra Necrozma can also use the Ultranecrozium Z on a subsequent turn to upgrade {{m|Photon Geyser}} into its exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}. Ultra Necrozma will revert to its previous form when it [[Fainting|faints]] or when the battle ends. Ultra Burst can only be used once per battle, even if the player has multiple Necrozma or revives a fainted Necrozma. Ultra Necrozma has been removed from the core series as of [[Generation VIII]].

===Magearna===
{{p|Magearna}} has an alternate form called Original Color Magearna. The two forms are non-interchangeable, and the difference between them is purely aesthetic: the Original Color form is red and gold. Prior to the launch of [[Pokémon HOME]], Original Color Magearna was not able to be legitimately obtained, and it only appeared in an official capacity in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. In Pokémon HOME, if a player completes the [[National Pokédex]] (up to {{p|Eternatus}}, including [[Mythical Pokémon]]), they will receive a [[Mystery Gift]] containing an Original Color Magearna.

===Cramorant===
{{p|Cramorant}} has three forms. It is always in its standard form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, while its other two forms are activated in battle by its [[Ability]], {{a|Gulp Missile}}.

Cramorant starts battle in its standard form. If it uses {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dive}} in this form while it has over 50% of its maximum {{stat|HP}} remaining, it will change into Gulping Form, which has an {{p|Arrokuda}} caught in its beak. If Gulping Form Cramorant is hit by a damaging [[move]], then Cramorant will spit the Arrokuda out at the attacker, which deals damage equal to 25% of their maximum HP, lowers their {{stat|Defense}} by one stage, and reverts Cramorant back to its standard form.

If Cramorant uses Surf or Dive in its standard form while it is at or below 50% of its maximum HP, it will change into Gorging Form, which has a male {{p|Pikachu}} caught in its beak. If Gorging Form Cramorant is hit by a damaging move, then Cramorant will spit the Pikachu out at the attacker, which deals damage equal to 25% of their maximum HP, {{status|Paralyzed|paralyzes}} them, and reverts Cramorant back to its standard form.

===Toxtricity===
{{p|Toxtricity}} has two non-interchangeable forms: Amped Form and Low Key Form. When {{p|Toxel}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into Toxtricity, the form it evolves into depends on its [[Nature]] (unaffected by [[mint]]s):
*Toxel will evolve into Amped Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.
*Toxel will evolve into Low Key Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.

Both forms of Toxtricity have the same [[base stats]], but learn slightly different [[move]]s, and have different possible {{Abilities}}. Both forms have access to the same [[Gigantamax]] form.

===Sinistea and Polteageist===
{{anchor|Sinistea}}
{{anchor|Polteageist}}
{{p|Sinistea}} and {{p|Polteageist}} each have two non-interchangeable forms: Phony Form and Antique Form<ref name="guide">[[Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield: The Official Galar Region Strategy Guide]]</ref>. The Antique Form is rarer and has a stamp of authenticity hidden on the underside of its base. The only functional difference between the two forms is the [[Evolution item]] used by Sinistea to [[Evolution|evolve]] into Polteageist: Phony Form Sinistea require a [[Cracked Pot]], while Antique Form Sinistea require a [[Chipped Pot]]. [[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Sinistea will always be in Phony Form.

In Japanese, the names of Sinistea and Polteageist's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise primarily used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.

===Alcremie===
{{p|Alcremie}}'s form depends on two different parameters: its cream and type of [[Sweet]]. Cream affects the color of Alcremie's body, while the Sweet affects its eye color and head ornaments. There are nine different types of cream and seven different types of Sweet. Any type of cream can be paired with any Sweet, resulting in 63 different non-[[Gigantamax]] forms of Alcremie, not including its {{Shiny}} coloration. Each of Alcremie's creams have different menu sprites and Pokédex entries, while Sweets only affect the appearance of Alcremie's 3D model; all of Alcremie's menu sprites show it with a [[Strawberry Sweet]], regardless of its actual Sweet (except in [[Pokémon HOME]], in which every form has its own menu sprite). Alcremie's forms are purely aesthetic.

Alcremie's form is non-interchangeable and is decided when it evolves from {{p|Milcery}}. Milcery evolves into Alcremie while holding a Sweet when its Trainer spins and strikes a pose while it is in the [[party]]. The type of Sweet on Alcremie matches the Sweet it was holding, while the cream color varies depending on the [[Time|time of day]], the length of the spin, and whether the Trainer was spinning clockwise or counterclockwise.


Milcery evolves into:
* Vanilla Cream Alcremie after spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds during the day.
* Ruby Cream Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for less than 5 seconds during the day.
* Matcha Cream Alcremie after spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds at night.
* Mint Cream Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 5 seconds at night.
* Lemon Cream Alcremie after spinning clockwise for more than 5 seconds at night.
* Salted Cream Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for less than 5 seconds at night.
* Ruby Swirl Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 5 seconds during the day.
* Caramel Swirl Alcremie after spinning clockwise for more than 5 seconds during the day.
* Rainbow Swirl Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 10 seconds during the evening (from 7:00 to 7:59 PM).

All Alcremie forms have access to the same Gigantamax form. Normally, the only Gigantamax Alcremie that can be encountered in [[Max Raid Battle]]s have Vanilla Cream and the Strawberry Sweet. However, all types of cream appeared as Gigantamax Alcremie in limited-time [[Wild Area News]], but only with the Strawberry Sweet. Additionally, Milcery with the Gigantamax Factor were also available in limited-time Wild Area News, enabling players to obtain a Gigantamax Alcremie with any Sweet and cream combination. [[Max Soup]] can also be used to give any Alcremie the Gigantamax Factor.

Shiny Alcremie always has the same color, regardless of its actual cream type (which is still visible in its menu sprite).

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

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

===Morpeko===
{{p|Morpeko}} has two forms that it switches between with its {{a|Hunger Switch}} [[Ability]]: Full Belly Mode and Hangry Mode. Its [[signature move]] {{m|Aura Wheel}} is {{type|Electric}} when it is in Full Belly Mode and {{type|Dark}} when it is in Hangry Mode. It starts {{pkmn|battle}}s in Full Belly Mode and switches between forms at the end of every turn while it is sent out. It is always in Full Belly Mode outside of battle.

===Zacian and Zamazenta===
{{anchor|Zacian}}
{{anchor|Zamazenta}}
The [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} each have two forms that change their appearance, [[stat]]s, [[type]]s, and [[Cry|cries]]. Their default forms are both called Hero of Many Battles; they are always in this form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. In battle, Zacian will be in its Crowned Sword form if it is holding a [[Rusted Sword]], while Zamazenta will be in its Crowned Shield form if it is holding a [[Rusted Shield]]. In these forms, they both gain {{t|Steel}} as a secondary type; additionally, Zacian has increased {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}}, while Zamazenta has increased {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but decreased Speed.

If Zacian knows {{m|Iron Head}}, then it will be replaced with {{m|Behemoth Blade}} while it is in its Crowned Sword form; if Zamazenta knows Iron Head, then it will be replaced with {{m|Behemoth Bash}} while it is in its Crowned Shield form.

===Eternatus===
During the climax of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the player confronts a powered-up version of {{p|Eternatus}} known as Eternamax Eternatus, which is fought in a semi-scripted [[Max Raid Battle]] and uses [[Max Move]]s like a [[Dynamax]]ed Pokémon. This form is unobtainable, but briefly appears in the move animation for {{m|Eternabeam}}. Its [[cry]] and [[base stats]] are different to those of its regular form (with it having the highest base stats of any Pokémon to date). If a Pokémon targets Eternamax Eternatus with {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}, it will instead transform into Eternatus's regular form.

|}

===Urshifu===
{{p|Urshifu}} has two non-interchangeable forms: Single Strike Style and Rapid Strike Style. In [[Generation VIII]], the form of Urshifu that {{p|Kubfu}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into is dependent on which of the [[Towers of Two Fists]] it evolved at, with it evolving into Single Strike Style at the [[Tower of Darkness]] or Rapid Strike Style at the [[Tower of Waters]]. In [[Generation IX]], Kubfu evolves into Single Strike Style when exposed to a [[Scroll of Darkness]] or Rapid Strike Style when exposed to a [[Scroll of Waters]].

Urshifu's two forms have different [[type]]s, with Single Strike Style being {{2t|Fighting|Dark}} and Rapid Strike Style being {{2t|Fighting|Water}}. They also learn different [[move]]s and have different [[Cry|cries]] and [[Gigantamax]] forms to each other.

===Zarude===
{{p|Zarude}} has an alternate form called Dada Zarude. It wears a pink, ripped cape bearing {{p|Celebi}}'s [[National Pokédex]] number, and it was reported to have left its pack to raise {{OBP|Koko|M23|a human child}}, as seen in the 23rd movie, ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''. Zarude's forms are purely cosmetic and are non-interchangeable.

===Calyrex===
{{p|Calyrex}} has two alternate forms, Ice Rider and Shadow Rider, which were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. The [[Reins of Unity]] can be used to combine Calyrex with either {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}}, with the former resulting in its Ice Rider form and the latter its Shadow Rider form; the same item can also be used to undo the fusion and revert Calyrex to its standard form. Each fused form has its own [[Ability]] that combines Calyrex's base {{a|Unnerve}} Ability with either Glastrier's {{a|Chilling Neigh}} or Spectrier's {{a|Grim Neigh}}, but in both cases, the combined Ability is called {{a|As One}}.

*Ice Rider Calyrex is the result of combining with Glastrier and is {{2t|Psychic|Ice}}. After combining, Calyrex will learn {{m|Glacial Lance}}. Its [[cry]] is a combination of regular Calyrex and Glastrier's cries.
*Shadow Rider Calyrex is the result of combining with Spectrier and is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. After combining, Calyrex will learn {{m|Astral Barrage}}. Its cry is a combination of regular Calyrex and Spectrier's cries.

The forms differ in [[base stats]] and learn different [[move]]s from each other. If Calyrex separates from Glastrier or Spectrier, it will forget Glacial Lance or Astral Barrage, along with any other moves it knows that Calyrex can't learn in its base form. If this process would leave Calyrex without any moves, it will learn {{m|Confusion}}.

If Calyrex is combined with Glastrier or Spectrier, it cannot be [[trade]]d, [[release]]d, or deposited into [[Pokémon HOME]]. Due to this and the mechanics of the Reins of Unity, it is only possible to have a single mounted Calyrex at a time.

===Maushold===
{{p|Maushold}} has two non-interchangeable forms: Family of Four and Family of Three. Aside from a weight difference, the difference between the two forms is purely aesthetic (though they also have different [[cry|cries]]). The form {{p|Tandemaus}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into is determined based on its [[personality value#Maushold's form|encryption constant]], with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Family of Four form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Family of Three form. This is not the case for [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Maushold encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, as these will have a predetermined form (Family of Three in 4★ raids or Family of Four in 6★ raids) regardless of their encryption constant value.

===Squawkabilly===
{{p|Squawkabilly}} has four different non-interchangeable forms, each with differently colored plumage. The only functional difference between the forms is their [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Abilities]], with the Green Plumage and Blue Plumage forms having {{a|Guts}} and the Yellow Plumage and White Plumage forms having {{a|Sheer Force}}.

===Palafin===
{{p|Palafin}} has two interchangeable forms: Zero Form and Hero Form. It is always in Zero Form outside of {{pkmn|battles}}.

Palafin starts battles in its Zero Form. When it is [[Recall|switched out]] without [[Fainted|fainting]], it changes into Hero Form with its [[Ability]] {{a|Zero to Hero}}, and remains in that form until the battle ends. The two forms have different [[base stats]], with Hero Form having increased {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}} but identical {{stat|HP}} and {{stat|Speed}} compared to Zero Form.

===Tatsugiri===
{{p|Tatsugiri}} has three different non-interchangeable forms: Curly Form (which is orange), Droopy Form (which is magenta), and Stretchy Form (which is yellow), each with different colors and patterns on their bodies. When {{p|Dondozo}} uses the move {{m|Order Up}} after Tatsugiri has entered its mouth using its [[Ability]] {{a|Commander}}, the [[stat]] boost that Dondozo gains is based on the Tatsugiri form in its mouth, with Curly Form increasing {{stat|Attack}}, Droopy Form increasing {{stat|Defense}}, and Stretchy Form increasing {{stat|Speed}}.

===Dudunsparce===
{{p|Dudunsparce}} has two non-interchangeable forms: Two-Segment Form and Three-Segment Form. Aside from a weight difference, the difference between the two forms is purely aesthetic. The form {{p|Dunsparce}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into is determined based on its [[personality value#Dudunsparce's form|encryption constant]], with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Two-Segment Form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Three-Segment Form. This is not the case for [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Dudunsparce encountered in [[Area Zero]] or in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, as these will always be in Two-Segment form regardless of their encryption constant value. Despite being visually different, these two forms share the same menu sprite.

===Gimmighoul===
{{p|Gimmighoul}} has two non-interchangeable forms, Chest Form and Roaming Form. Roaming Form is only obtainable in the [[core series]] by [[transfer]]ring it from {{g|GO}} with the [[GO Transporter]]. The forms differ in their [[Ability|Abilities]], with Chest Form having {{a|Rattled}} and Roaming Form having {{a|Run Away}}, as well as their [[base stats]], with Chest Form having higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but lower {{stat|Speed}} compared to Roaming Form.

==Form-like transformations==
Some Pokémon have transformations that may resemble forms and have official names, but they do not register as distinct forms in the [[Pokédex]].

===Rotom===
In addition to the [[#Rotom|forms]] of {{p|Rotom}} that are directly obtainable by the player, there are more forms that it assumes when possessing other appliances such as the [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]], and {{DL|Battle judge|Drone Rotom}}. These forms do not have battle abilities and are not obtainable as actual Pokémon, instead functioning as [[non-player character]]s. These Rotom enhance the functions of the devices they inhabit and usually have the ability to [[Talking Pokémon|speak]]. The Rotom Pokédex appears in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]]; the Rotom Phone appears in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]]; and the Rotomi and Drone Rotom appear in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Although Rotom is also seen inhabiting other appliances, such as the [[Old Chateau]]'s [[television]] and the [[Hau'oli City#Melemele Ferry Terminal|Melemele Ferry Terminal]]'s [[Vending Machine|vending machine]], they do not give it a unique form.

===Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem===
{{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, [[#Kyurem|White Kyurem, and Black Kyurem]] enter Overdrive mode when their emotions surge, lighting parts of their bodies in flames or electricity in the process. Reshiram and Zekrom enter Overdrive mode when using their [[signature move]]s ({{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Blue Flare}} for Reshiram, {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Bolt Strike}} for Zekrom) and are usually not in Overdrive mode otherwise. Black and White Kyurem, however, are always in Overdrive mode in battle.

===Solgaleo and Lunala===
{{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} enter special phases when using their powers, shining brighter than normal. Solgaleo's phase is called the Radiant Sun phase, while Lunala's is the Full Moon phase. They both enter this phase while in [[Ultra Space]] (although not while in battle) or when using their [[signature move]]s. For Solgaleo, these moves are {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} and {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}; for Lunala, these are {{m|Moongeist Beam}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}.

===Revavroom===
{{p|Revavroom}} has six forms in total, consisting of its normal form and five [[Starmobile]] forms, one for each of the [[Team Star]] bosses. These forms are non-interchangeable.

In its normal form, Revavroom is {{2t|Steel|Poison}} and can have {{a|Overcoat}} or {{a|Filter}} as its [[Ability]] (the latter only as its [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]]).
{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#FFF"

|}
The Starmobile forms were created by [[Ortega]] and are only seen in battles against the bosses of Team Star in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], being unobtainable by the player. They each have different [[type]]s and Abilities and their own [[signature move]]s.
* The Segin Starmobile, used by [[Giacomo]], has the signature move {{m|Wicked Torque}}.
* The Schedar Starmobile, used by [[Mela]], has the signature move {{m|Blazing Torque}}.
* The Navi Starmobile, used by [[Atticus]], has the signature move {{m|Noxious Torque}}.
* The Ruchbah Starmobile, used by Ortega, has the signature move {{m|Magical Torque}}.
* The Caph Starmobile, used by [[Eri]], has the signature move {{m|Combat Torque}}.

Starmobiles are not technically proper forms of Revavroom<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/scarlet-violet-battle-mechanics-research.3709545/page-26#post-9460348</ref>, as the game essentially overwrites the last opponent that was knocked out, and directly modifies their [[stat]]s, [[Nature]], [[type]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], and [[move]]s. As a result, the Starmobiles have no [[IV]]s or [[EV]]s, and have stats that are out-of-bounds for a typical Revavroom of similar level. Instead, they have the following custom properties:

===Koraidon and Miraidon===
{{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} can enter one of three different forms when they travel the [[Paldea]] region and two forms based on how much power they have. They can change their forms to better suit what they are doing or what terrain they are traveling over.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number}}
In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Pokémon with different forms have different [[Skill]]s and can have different Attack Powers and max levels.

Most Pokémon with forms in the core series games also have those forms in Pokémon Shuffle. Many Pokémon have a "Winking" form, notably including most of the [[starter Pokémon]]. There are also a few Pokémon with a "Spooky" or "Holiday" form. Pikachu has a large variety of forms, mostly unique to Pokémon Shuffle.

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|List of Pokémon with form differences (GO)}}
The majority of Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]] have their forms determined at the time of capture and impossible to change, with the exceptions of {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Furfrou}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}. Although every species has one [[Pokédex]] entry each, a Pokémon is considered different from any of its alternate forms; this means that even if a player has one form of the Pokémon species registered in the Pokédex, an alternate form will still appear as a silhouette in the Nearby screen, and receiving one in a [[trade]] will be considered a Special Trade.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation IX]], five Pokémon have form differences that remain unobtainable. These are:
** ???-type {{p|Arceus}}, which only existed in the code for the [[Generation IV]] games and is unavailable without hacking.
** Eternal Flower {{p|Floette}}, which only exists in the code for the [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]] games, and remains in the data of [[Pokémon HOME]].
** Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}}, which is only seen in the climax of {{g|Sword and Shield}} and when Eternatus uses {{m|Eternabeam}}.
** Rotomi and Rotom Drone, which are NPCs and have never been in the code of any game in a usable form.
** {{p|Revavroom}}'s Starmobile forms, which are only seen being used by the bosses of [[Team Star]].
* Some of the Pokémon with form differences have unique distinctions:
** {{p|Darmanitan}} and {{p|Tauros}} are the only Pokémon whose [[regional form]]s have further form differences.
** {{p|Urshifu}} is the only Pokémon whose [[Gigantamax]] form has form differences.
*** Although {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Alcremie}} have multiple alternate forms, they each have only one Gigantamax form.
** {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth ‘low-power’ forms, yet can only battle in their ‘high-power’ forms.
*** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.
* Several Pokémon have forms that are not visually distinct, but are still treated internally as unique forms:
**{{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner Pikachu}} and {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner Eevee}} are treated as distinct forms from common {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}.
**{{p|Greninja}} with the Ability {{A|Battle Bond}} is a distinct form from common Greninja, and cannot breed as it is a member of the [[No Eggs Discovered]] Egg group.
***Additionally, {{p|Froakie}} has no alternate forms internally, so Greninja with Battle Bond would have no valid offspring regardless of whether it could breed, or it would have to produce offspring that evolve into common Greninja.
**{{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}} each have 20 forms internally, one for each {{p|Vivillon}} pattern. This determines the form of Vivillon they will eventually evolve into, and is determined when they are first generated.
**{{p|Zygarde}} has five forms internally, as 10% & 50% Formes of Zygarde with the Ability {{A|Aura Break}} are both treated as separate forms from 10% & 50% Formes of Zygarde with the Ability {{A|Power Construct}}.
**{{p|Rockruff}} with the [[Ability]] {{A|Own Tempo}} is a distinct form from common Rockruff, and can only evolve into Dusk Form {{p|Lycanroc}}.
***Due to this, Rockruff with Own Tempo obey form inheritance mechanics when [[breeding]] rather than Ability inheritance mechanics.

Area Zero

2023-03-11T03:42:17Z

Just a lurker: /* Trivia */

{{incomplete}}
{{Infobox location

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

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

==History==
{{spoilers}}
2,000 years ago, the Paldean emperor attempted many expeditions into Area Zero, starting off the Great Age of Exploration. The reason was due to a rumor, claiming there was treasure located at the bottom. However, this decision led to the empire declining after 1,000 years. 800 years later, Heath and the Area Zero Expedition would be the first to reach Area Zero's bottom. Here, Heath proceeds to take many notes on the area, [[Herba Mystica]], the various wild Pokémon and first encounter with the mysterious [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He would later record his research into the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. However, people accused Heath of fabricating his story, hence the whole Area Zero Expedition were widely discredited. The expedition team also took the Herba Mystica with them outside of crater for a research project. The project failed due to local Pokémon near each five facility consuming the herb, transforming into the [[Titan Pokémon]].

60 years after the expedition, the [[Terastal phenomenon]] would be discovered for the first time in Area Zero. However, the phenomenon could not be taken outside of Area Zero. 53 years later, a research station was built in Area Zero in order for research to be continued at the location. Ten years before the events of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} started an expedition into Area Zero, setting up the [[Zero Lab]]. Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}} would find a way to bring the Terastal phenomenon outside of Area Zero through the use of [[Tera Orb]]s. Eventually, Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} moved permanently into the Zero Lab to continue more research on Area Zero and the Paradox Pokémon as part of the Tera Project, leaving their son [[Arven]] behind to take care of himself. Not long before the events of the game, Arven would enter Area Zero in an attempt to find his parent, only for his {{p|Mabosstiff}} to be attacked by a creature he describes as either "rampaging"{{sup/9|S}} or "metallic, machine"{{sup/9|V}}. This injures it to the point where all attempts at using traditional medicine failed to heal it, until he decides to ask the [[Player Character|player]] for assistance, setting into motion the events of the game.

==Notes==
* [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]

==Trivia==

* Although the white flower version of [[Floette]] is meant to be the rarest variant. It's the only version that spawns in Area Zero, and it is a common spawn in the region.

* The [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldean Pokédex]] does not state that Area Zero is one on the spawn locations for any of the Pokemon that spawn in the region.

* The Paldean Pokédex will state that [[Glimmet]] has a very rare spawn chance. However, Glimmet is a common spawn at the bottom of Area Zero.

* Despite the abundance of tera crystals, wild [[Terastal phenomenon|tera Pokémon]] can not be found in Area Zero.

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

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

==History==
{{spoilers}}
2,000 years ago, the Paldean emperor attempted many expeditions into Area Zero, starting off the Great Age of Exploration. The reason was due to a rumor, claiming there was treasure located at the bottom. However, this decision led to the empire declining after 1,000 years. 800 years later, Heath and the Area Zero Expedition would be the first to reach Area Zero's bottom. Here, Heath proceeds to take many notes on the area, [[Herba Mystica]], the various wild Pokémon and first encounter with the mysterious [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He would later record his research into the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. However, people accused Heath of fabricating his story, hence the whole Area Zero Expedition were widely discredited. The expedition team also took the Herba Mystica with them outside of crater for a research project. The project failed due to local Pokémon near each five facility consuming the herb, transforming into the [[Titan Pokémon]].

60 years after the expedition, the [[Terastal phenomenon]] would be discovered for the first time in Area Zero. However, the phenomenon could not be taken outside of Area Zero. 53 years later, a research station was built in Area Zero in order for research to be continued at the location. Ten years before the events of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} started an expedition into Area Zero, setting up the [[Zero Lab]]. Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}} would find a way to bring the Terastal phenomenon outside of Area Zero through the use of [[Tera Orb]]s. Eventually, Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} moved permanently into the Zero Lab to continue more research on Area Zero and the Paradox Pokémon as part of the Tera Project, leaving their son [[Arven]] behind to take care of himself. Not long before the events of the game, Arven would enter Area Zero in an attempt to find his parent, only for his {{p|Mabosstiff}} to be attacked by a creature he describes as either "rampaging"{{sup/9|S}} or "metallic, machine"{{sup/9|V}}. This injures it to the point where all attempts at using traditional medicine failed to heal it, until he decides to ask the [[Player Character|player]] for assistance, setting into motion the events of the game.

==Notes==
* [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]

==Trivia==

* Although the white flower version of [[Floette]] is meant to be the rarest variant. It's the only version that spawns in Area Zero, and it is a common spawn in the region.

* The [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldean Pokédex]] does not state that Area Zero is one on the spawn locations for any of the Pokemon that spawn in the region.

* The Paldean Pokédex will state that [[Glimmet]] has a very rare spawn chance. However, Glimmet is a common spawn at the bottom of Area Zero.

'''Tinkatuff''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナカヌチャン''' ''Nakanuchan'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fairy|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tinkatink}} starting at [[level]] 24 and evolves into {{p|Tinkaton}} starting at level 38.

==Biology==
Tinkatuff is a pink humanoid Pokémon, with a large head and arms and short, stumpy toeless feet with light pink circles underneath. Its arms have three fingers each, and it has steel plates on its hips that resemble outturned pockets. Its head has light pink circles on its cheeks, silver eyes, and a mouth with square teeth-like growths on the upper and lower lips. It has thin eyebrows or eyelashes above its eyes that give it a perpetually angered expression. On top of its head is a white growth resembling hair tied into a ponytail, with a light pink zigzag pattern on the rim where the growth meets the head.

Tinkatuff carries a large, gray, crude yet sturdy hammer, with loose metal plates for the hammer head and what appears to be the old hammer Tinkatuff had as a {{p|Tinkatink}} on top of the shaft. Tinkatuff makes its hammer using metal it collects from groups of {{p|Pawniard}} and {{p|Bisharp}}, which it preys on. Two Tinkatuff will smash their hammers together in order to test out the hammers' strength. Tinkatuff lives in homes made from piles of scrap metal. It is a female-only species. Tinkatuff largely resides in various ruins across [[Paldea]].

==Trivia==
* Tinkatuff and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/megtany/status/1607179613431824384 Megumi Mizutani on Twitter]</ref>

===Origin===
Given its type combination and its size, Tinkatuff may be inspired by {{wp|duende}}s, {{wp|gnome}}s, or {{wp|Dwarf (folklore)|dwarfs}}, the latter of which are commonly depicted smithing and using iron tools and weapons.

====Name origin====
Tinkatuff may be a combination of ''{{wp|tinker}}'' (itinerant tinsmith) and ''tough''.

Nakanuchan may be a combination of 中 ''naka'' (middle), 鍛冶 ''kanuchi'' (blacksmith), and the Japanese diminutive suffix ～ちゃん ''-chan''.

{{shortcut|1|Pdex}}
[[File:479Rotom-Phone SV.png|right|thumb|200px|[[Paldea]] region's Pokédex]]
This is a list of Pokémon in the order dictated by the [[Paldea]] [[regional Pokédex]], meaning that the [[starter Pokémon#Paldea|starter Pokémon from Paldea]] will appear first, followed by Pokémon native to the Paldea region. There are 400 numbered Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex. For the first time, Pokédex numbers shown in the game are not zero-padded (no {{wp|leading zero}}s).

==Compatible Pokémon not in the Paldea Pokédex==
The following Pokémon are not in the Paldea Pokédex, but can still be transferred to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} via {{g|HOME}}, or obtained in-game through in-game events. Of these, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Meowth}}, Johtonian {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Quagsire}}, and {{p|Perrserker}} are available during normal gameplay as {{pkmn2|gift}}s or through [[in-game trade]]s. {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Cinderace}}, and {{p|Greninja}} have also been made available through [[Poké Portal News]], and consequently their pre-evolutions are available through breeding.

Of these Pokémon, only Kantonian {{p|Tauros}}, the [[Pikachu in a cap]], and {{p|Vivillon}}'s Patterns have entries in the Pokédex.

==Trivia==
* There is an entry for Kantonian {{p|Tauros}} in the Paldean Pokédex despite it not being available in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] yet, and no similar entries being available for Johtonian Wooper or Galarian Meowth.
* Some images in the Paldean Pokédex reference Pokémon biology or other Pokémon media:
** Some Pokémon are depicted as predators to others: {{p|Starly}} to {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Rufflet}} to {{p|Spewpa}}, {{p|Persian}} to {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Salandit}} to {{p|Combee}}, {{p|Barraskewda}} to {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Mareanie}} to {{p|Pincurchin}}.
** The rivalry of {{p|Zangoose}} and {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Toxapex}} and {{p|Bruxish}}, and {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Oranguru}} are shown for these Pokémon.
** {{p|Stunky}}'s image presents it being ready to emit repulsive gases.
** {{p|Drifloon}} and {{p|Froslass}}'s images show them potentially kidnapping a child and a man, respectively.
** {{p|Meowth}}'s image shows it beside a {{p|Pikachu}}, which might reference the Pokémon anime and the rivalry between [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}}.
** {{p|Dragonite}} in front of a lighthouse may be a reference to its debut episode in the anime — ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''.
* There is a visual glitch on {{p|Flamigo}}'s Pokédex image, showing two Flamigo with their wings both spread out and tucked in.
* This is the first regional Pokédex to exclude {{p|Lickilicky}} and {{p|Mantyke}} after their debuts.
** It is also the first outside of [[Hisui]] to exclude the evolutionary families of {{p|Roggenrola}}, {{p|Scraggy}}, {{p|Trubbish}}, {{p|Vanillite}}, {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Golett}}, {{p|Pancham}}, {{p|Inkay}}, {{p|Tyrunt}}, {{p|Amaura}}, {{p|Carbink}}{{tt|*|is compatible with SV}}, and {{p|Phantump}} after their debuts.
** It is the first to include the {{p|Gothita}} family without the {{p|Solosis}} evolutionary family.
* The images for {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} have unique borders that are also different from each other. They are the only two Pokémon with this distinction.
* Although {{p|Tentacool}} and {{p|Wailmer}} are not present in Scarlet and Violet, they are referenced in the Pokédex entries for {{p|Toedscool}} and {{p|Cetoddle}}, respectively.
* All Pokémon with a Hisuian [[regional form]] are available in-game as their non-Hisuian counterpart, and their Hisuian form and evolutions are compatible with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
** {{p|Enamorus}}, the only Pokémon first introduced in Hisui that is not a regional form or an evolution of a pre-existing Pokémon, is also compatible with Scarlet and Violet.
* The Paldean Pokedex isn't very reliable with showing where some pokemon can be found, nor all the locations of all pokemon. Some examples include, a sizable amount of non-paradox Pokémon such as [[Chansey]] can be found in Area Zero despite not stating so on the map. [[Cacturne]] can be found in the [[Asado Desert]] despite the map stating the location as "Area Unknown". [[Gastrodon]] can spawn on the beach of [[North Province (Area Three)]] despite the map not showing the area as one of its spawn locations. And the locations of wild [[Terastal phenomenon|tera]] Pokémon such as [[Tsareena]] will not be shown on the map.
