[[File:Rival artwork.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Red}}'s first battle against his rival {{ga|Blue}}]]
A '''rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''rival'') is one of the main characters in the Pokémon [[games]] that is well known to the [[protagonist]] and has similar skills, goals and achievements. Rival characters appear frequently during the hero's quest, having a role in several of the games' events, and often challenges him or her in [[Pokémon battle|battles]]. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of said character.

==In the games==
In the [[Version|main series]], a rival is a recurring opponent to the {{player}} throughout the game. This class of characters has appeared beginning in [[Generation I]], and in every main series game since. Typically, rivals will be met by the player early in the game, usually around the time the player receives their [[starter Pokémon]]. In most games, the rival will also obtain a starter Pokémon, and will usually participate in the player's first [[Pokémon battle]] against a Trainer. From then on, rivals will appear frequently throughout the player's journey, always being one step ahead of the player as the player moves through the region, meeting and battling the player at various points in the game with a progressively stronger and diversified [[party]]. Usually they must be defeated in order to continue the game; the most important of these battles happening either right before or during the player's challenge to the [[Elite Four]]. After the defeat of the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]], the rival can usually be battled at the player's leisure, but only at certain times with increasingly powerful Pokémon. More often than not, they will have the starter Pokémon of their home region that weakens the one the player chose at the beginning of the game, though [[Wally]], {{ga|Bianca}}, and {{ga|Blue}} in {{game|Yellow}} are exceptions.

The antagonism and importance of the rival character has decreased with time. In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and [[Generation II|II]], the player's rival was depicted as rude, egomaniacal, or even criminal. These rivals often challenged the player late into the game, with their utilitarian philosophy of raising Pokémon contrasting the player's supposed heartfelt, compassionate approach. In [[Generation III]] and onwards, the negativity of the rival was toned down, starting with [[Brendan (game)|Brendan]] and [[May (game)|May]], who are depicted as friendly and helpful. Consequently, the rival no longer challenged the player as late into the game, with that climactic role being assumed by [[villainous teams]].

The following are the characters considered to be rivals in the games. It should be noted, though, that only {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}} have ever received the ''Rival'' [[trainer class]]; all others have been referred to as ''[[Pokémon Trainer]]s''. Additionally, for one battle in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is referred to as "Champion Blue".

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his rival Paul]]
Various rivals for the {{Ashfr|main characters}} have also appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
*{{Ash}} has had [[Gary Oak]], [[Paul]], {{an|Barry}}, and [[Trip]] as his major rivals. Minor rivals include [[Nando]] and [[Conway]], who, while they battled Ash more than once across an entire saga, have a smaller role than the other four. Many other characters also collect badges and may be counted as rivals in the future.
*{{an|May}} has [[Drew]], [[Harley]], and [[Solidad]].
*{{an|Dawn}} has [[Zoey]], {{si|Kenny}}, [[Ursula]], and [[Jessie|Jessilina]]. A minor rival included [[Nando]].
*[[Johanna]] had a childhood rivalry with [[Lila]].
*{{an|Brock}} had a friendly (and short-lived) rivalry with [[Suzy]].
*[[Jessie]] and [[James]] have a rivalry with [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], respectively.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{cleanup|section}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Red}}'s first rivalry blossomed when, just as their game counterparts did, he and {{adv|Blue}} were each given the first two [[Pokédex]], as well as starter Pokémon to compliment their already growing parties (somewhat unlike in the games). Red received [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], while Blue acquired the starter that weakens his, and both times his [[Blue's Charizard|Charmander]] evolved before Red's. As would become a tradition in the manga, {{adv|Green}}, hearing of these two fellow [[Pallet Town]] Trainers' big send offs on journeys, stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] (weakened by Red's) and proved to be a somewhat irritating obstacle for Red at times, stealing two of his badges and shrewdly taking his [[Moon Stone]] for later use before using the boy as a pawn to gather the seven known badges at the time to create [[Zapmolcuno]] (not knowing at the time that it would create a three-headed bird monster, a kind which she fears above all else). She also competed in the [[Pokémon League]] after Red's excursions in the [[Viridian Gym]] against [[Giovanni]], as well as his capture of {{adv|Mewtwo}}. She finally faced the then-disguised [[Professor Oak|Professor]] in the semi-finals, but after her phobia of bird Pokémon was exploited, she lost, and after Oak's forfeit, Red defeated his rival in the final match.

{{adv|Yellow}}, who took over as the protagonist two years later, had no real rival, but as both she and [[Lance]] of the [[Elite Four]] had the psychic healing powers of [[Viridian Forest]], he would most closely match this description.

One year later, the tradition of the rival character acquiring a starter that weakens the protagonist's would again be revisited when {{adv|Silver}} steals his [[Silver's Feraligatr|Totodile]] while {{adv|Gold}} took a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]]. Once again, the rival would evolve his starter before the boy when his Totodile became a {{p|Croconaw}} before Gold's evolved to {{p|Quilava}}, but after they were horribly defeated and narrowly saved by {{p|Entei}}, they would fall into a coma lasting for several weeks, during which a third protagonist, {{adv|Crystal}}, is given a {{p|Chikorita}}, the last remaining starter (along with the final Pokédex), and it too evolved to a {{p|Bayleef}}. The three then were reunited in the [[Whirl Islands]], and evolved to the final stages simultaneously.

Years after the [[Masked Man]]'s defeat, {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} would be given opposite starters, but unlike before (possibly attributed to the fact that Sapphire is female), Ruby would now acquire a [[Zuzu|Mudkip]] and Sapphire would be given the disadvantaged [[Toro|Torchic]]. Both evolved to their final stage similarly, though again the rival of the main playable character, Ruby, would evolve hers first both times.

Ironically, {{p|Treecko|the Grass-type starter}} would again meet the fate of being partnered after its chums when it at last becomes {{p|Grovyle}} with [[Wally]], and is revealed to have been smuggled into the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Battle Factory|Battle Factory]] after evolving to its [[Emerald's Sceptile|final stage]] in the wild. As originally intended, it ended up with {{adv|Emerald}}.

The protagonists for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} received the same type starters as the RGB seniors years before, when {{adv|Diamond}} (based on {{ga|Lucas}}) ended up with a [[Wig|Turtwig]], {{adv|Pearl}} (based on the rival character) with a [[Chimhiko|Chimchar]], and {{adv|Platinum}} (based on {{ga|Dawn}}) was given a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]]. However, unlike the first protagonists, their starters evolved almost exactly at the same time, with Diamond and Pearl's starters evolving simultaneously both times.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Shooti.png|thumb|235px|right|Ash and his rival Trip]]
* Ash has at least one species of Pokémon each of his major rivals own. Gary captured a {{p|Krabby}}, Paul uses a {{p|Torterra}} and {{p|Gliscor}}, Barry uses a {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Heracross}}, and [[Trip]] uses a {{p|Janovy}}.
* Ash also has at least one species of Pokémon that some of his minor rivals own. [[Ritchie]] owns a Pikachu, Charmeleon and a Taillow while [[Morrison]] owns a Gligar and [[Tyson]] owns a Sceptile and a Donphan.
* Almost all of the rivals in the games are from the protagonist's hometown. Only Silver and Wally come from other places, with Silver's hometown being unknown and Wally hailing from Petalburg City.

'''Archer''' (Japanese: '''アポロ''' ''Apollo'') is one of the four [[Team Rocket]] [[Rocket Executive|Executives]] introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, he went unnamed until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==In the games==

At first, Archer seems to make an appearance in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as an unnamed male [[Team Rocket Admin]] in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]]. He is the leader of the [[Sevii Islands]] branch of Team Rocket, and accuses the player of spreading rumors that Team Rocket has disbanded, something he does not believe. When the player defeats the him, he recognizes the {{badge|Earth}} and accepts that Giovanni has been defeated, finally disbanding [[Team Rocket]], but he [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|vows to find him and resurrect Team Rocket someday]]. The computer he was working on mentions [[Red Gyarados|the effect of radio waves on Pokémon evolution]], foreshadowing Team Rocket's actions three years later.

[[Generation II|Three years later]], Archer is the interim head of Team Rocket during the absence of [[Giovanni]]. He leads the team in its takeover of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], aiming to locate his missing leader and bring him back to the team.

Just like other Executives, Archer received a major overhaul in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where his identity was expanded on. In addition, his color scheme was noticeably switched, where he now wears white clothes on the topmost layer, as opposed to the traditional black outfit.

===Quotes===
===={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}====
*Before battle
:''"Oh? You managed to get this far...? You must be quite the Trainer. We intend to take over this Radio Tower and officially announce our comeback. That should bring our boss Giovanni back from his solitary training. We are going to regain our former glory... I will not allow you to interfere with our meticulous plans!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"We can't have you getting in the way before news of our resurgence reaches Giovanni!"''

*During battle
:''"That's impossible..."''

*When defeated
:''"No! Forgive me, Giovanni!"''

*After being defeated
:''"How could this be...? Our dreams have come to naught. I was not up to the task after all. Like Giovanni has done before me, I will disband Team Rocket here today. Farewell..."''

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[Image:Archer Adventures.png|200px|right|thumb|Archer in the manga]]
Archer appears in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} of the Pokémon Adventures manga alongside the other three executives. They appear at the end of the first round to take over control of Team Rocket from [[Carr]], saying that they will stay true to [[Giovanni]]'s intentions.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Archer's design in [[Generation IV]] is based upon the original sprite of all male [[Rocket Executive|Rocket Executives]] from [[Generation II]]. The other two male Executives (now known as [[Proton]] and [[Petrel]]), who also used that sprite, were given entirely new designs. Similarly, [[Ariana]]'s design is based on the original female Executive sprite, being the only female Executive in Johto.
* Before Archer's name and identity were revealed in [[Generation IV]], [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]] had adapted the original male Executive as [[Carl]] and [[Grey]], respectively. Having similar roles to Archer and owning a {{p|Houndour}}, they should be considered as his [[cross-canon counterparts]].
* Considering [[Saturn]] is left the assets of Team Galactic in [[Cyrus]]'s absence, Archer could be seen as his parallel, as he controls Team Rocket in [[Giovanni]]'s absence.

KFan II: /* As a Trainer class */

:''For the character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] referred to as "Pokémon Trainer," see [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. Series]].''
:''"Trainer" redirects here. For the type of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] card, see {{TCG|Trainer card}}.''

[[File:Pokemon trainers.jpg|thumb|Pokémon Trainers ''(clockwise, starting at upper-left)'': an {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt|Aqua grunt}}, {{ga|Blue}}, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt|Magma grunt}}, {{ga|May}} and {{ga|Brendan}}]]
A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a person who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for and {{pkmn|battle}}s with Pokémon. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers.

==Background==
Many Trainers leave home at about the age of ten, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon professor]], such as {{prof|Oak}}. Many will travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow - when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a battle.
[[File:SugimoriTrainers.png|thumb|left|Trainers from different classes: A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt}}, a {{tc|Lass}}, and a {{tc|Bug Catcher}}]]
Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[caves]], {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their Pokémon of choice, the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even among their classes, Trainers may vary greatly.
[[File:Beginning Trainer kit.png|thumb|240px|right|A Pokédex and set of Poké Balls for a Trainer in the anime]]
Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, he or she awards them a Pokémon League [[badge]]. However, in the Pokémon anime, the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a badge for other reasons, since the badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, [[Ash Ketchum]] won several of his early badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle.

Above the level of Gym Leaders are the [[Elite Four]] Trainers and [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. There are also a special class of Trainers known as the [[Frontier Brain]]s, but they are unique to {{game|Emerald}}, {{game|Platinum}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and part of a privately owned institution known as the [[Battle Frontier]], and so may not be recognized by the League. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and can only be challenged if a Trainer has met requirements such as winning eight badges. Should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for him or her to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[villainous team]]s. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

==Super Smash Bros. Brawl==
{{main|Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Red (game)}}
There is a {{player|playable character}} called "Pokémon Trainer" in the game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. His appearance is based on {{ga|Red}}'s [[Generation III]] design, and he uses {{p|Squirtle|me}}{{p|Ivysaur|mb}}{{p|Charizard|ers}} of the [[evolution]] families of the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s to battle against the others.

==As a Trainer class==
In the games, Pokémon Trainer (rendered as "{{PK}}{{MN}} Trainer") is used as the Trainer class for certain storyline characters. These opponents tend to be the most powerful non-arena trainers the player will face, notably including the [[rival]]s of all generations; [[Red (game)|Red]] from [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]; and [[Steven]] from [[Pokémon Emerald]]. In link battles, all players have this Trainer class.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the Pokémon Trainer. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー ''Sā jussai, boku mo watashi mo torēnā.'' "Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."
* Even though it is stated in the anime that a person may not become a Trainer until the age of 10, there are many Trainers in other media that are obviously below the minimum age, such as the {{tc|Twins|Twins Trainer class}} and the {{tc|Tuber|Tuber Trainer class}}.
* In Generation I, opposing Trainers' AI would always choose a move whose type is [[super effective]] against the player's Pokémon, even if the move itself does no damage (using Mist, for example, on a Dragon-type Pokémon), until that move's PP ran out.

'''Explosion''' is an extremely damaging {{t|Normal}}-type move introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is currently the most highly-damaging move introduced, and is a more powerful version of [[Selfdestuct]].
{{Project MoveDex autoarticle notice}}

=In other languages=
French: '''explosion''', German: '''explosion''', Italian: '''esplosione''', Spanish: '''explosion''', Dutch: '''explosie'''.

=Effect=
==Generation I==

Explosion does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is 170, the opponent's
defense will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power
of 340. The game will bump 0 up to 1 to avoid infinite damage, so Explosion will then
effectively have a power of 170 if used against an opponent with a defense value of 1.

If Explosion breaks an opponent's substitute, the user will not faint, though its image will be
replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Explosion had a substitute at the time
of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again
become visible.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not attack or be
subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Explosion breaks an opponent's substitute, the user will faint.

Explosion has a power of 170 in Generation I.

'''Hyper Beam''' is a slightly inaccurate and very highly-damaging {{t|Normal}}-type move introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is often represented falsely as the most powerful move ever.
{{Project MoveDex autoarticle notice}}

=In other languages=
French: '''ultralaser''', German: '''hyperstrahl''', Italian: '''iper raggio''', Spanish: '''hiperrayo''', Dutch: '''hyperstraal''', Portuguese: '''Hiper Raio'''.

=Effect=
==Generation I==

Hyper Beam does damage. A recharge turn is required on the turn after damage is done, during
which no action may be performed.

Hyper Beam will not require a recharge turn if it misses, breaks a {{m|Substitute}}, or faints the
opponent, or if the user is targeted by a partial trapping move (even if it misses), flinches,
or is put to sleep after the attack but before the recharge turn. However, freeze does not
negate the recharge turn of Hyper Beam. If the user is confused, the recharge turn of Hyper
Beam will not count towards the number of turns the user will remain confused.

In a round where the opponent attacks before a user which must recharge, if the opponent uses a partial trapping move that misses, the user will automatically use Hyper Beam during that turn. If at such a time Hyper Beam has 0 PP, Hyper Beam will still be used, and afterwards its PP will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it.

If a frozen Pokémon that has not recharged gets defrosted via {{m|Haze}}, it will remain unable to attack, switch, or do anything, and nothing (not even getting refrozen and then defrosted by a {{t|Fire}} move) will be able to change this.

In Stadium, Hyper Beam requires a recharge turn every time it is used.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ライチュウ, German: Raichu, French: Raichu) is an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. It evolves from [[Pikachu]].

=Pokédex entries=
; [[Pokémon Red]] & [[Pokémon Blue]]
: Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
; [[Pokémon Yellow]]
: When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.
; [[Pokémon Stadium]]
: Its electrical attacks may reach 10,000 volts. It discharges electricity from its tail, so it is not harmed by its own power.
; [[Pokémon Gold]]
: When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
; [[Pokémon Silver]]
: If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
; [[Pokémon Crystal]]
: If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
; [[Pokémon Ruby]]
: If the electrical sacks become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon's nest.
; [[Pokémon Sapphire]]
: This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. Raichu searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground.
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
; [[Pokémon FireRed]]
: Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.
; [[Pokémon LeafGreen]]
: Its long tail serves as ground to protect itself as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.

=Name origin=
Raichu comes from the combination of 雷 ''rai'', thunder, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for squeaking.

Raichu's legs and long tail are not unlike those of a [[wp:kangaroo rat|kangaroo rat]].

=In the anime=
[[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], has a Raichu that was defeated when it could not keep up with the speed of [[Ash's Pikachu]].

Raichu was one of three Pokémon causing trouble for Pikachu in "Pikachu's Summer Vacation".

In [[EP069]], a girl that [[Ash]] and co. met decided to use her Raichu in "Pokémon in Love."

[[EP090]] was about a stage show that featured "talking" Pokémon. A Raichu was supposed be a part of these shows, but it had stage fright.

A Raichu was seen herding Mareep in [[EP139]].

'''Spoink''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: バネブー ''Baneboo''; German: Spoink; French: Spoink) is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

=Pokédex entries=
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: A Pokémon that manipulates psychic power at will. It doesn't stop bouncing even when it is asleep. It loves eating mushrooms that grow underground.

=Name origin=
Spoink's name is possibly a combination of ''[[wp:spring (device)|spring]]'' and ''oink'', the sound a pig makes. ''Baneboo'' is probably derived from 発条 ''bane'', spring, and ぶうぶう ''būbū'', the sound of grumbling. The end of its name may also be a shortening of 豚 ''buta'', pig.

It is possible the inspiration for Spoink came from the proverb "do not cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under your feet." The pearls were supposed to represent wisdom given to an audience who would not appreciate the teachings. Spoink and {{p|Grumpig}} appear to instead use those pearls of wisdom to enhance their mental powers. It is obviously based off a [[wp:pig|pig]]

: Nothing can avoid falling asleep hearing a Jigglypuff's song. The sound waves of its singing voice match the brain waves of someone in a deep sleep.

=Name origin=
Jigglypuff's name is a combination of ''jiggly'' and ''puff'', referring to its wobbly shape and ability to inflate itself. Many people have been unable to decipher its Japanese name, but concede that it may simply be taken from the Japanese word for pudding, ''purin''.

It rarely if ever succeeded. Anything that fell asleep after hearing the song, that Jigglypuff would scribble all over the sleepers' faces. After Johto, Jigglypuff suddenly stopped appearing, but it did feature in one early Advanced Generation episode. This Jigglypuff was voiced by かないみか ''Mika Kanai'' in the Japanese version.

A green-eyed Jigglypuff was featured in [[AG138]], who was voiced by 池田千草 ''Chigusa Ikeda''.

Jigglypuff was featured in [[Super Smash Brothers]] as a secret character and in [[Super Smash Brothers Melee]] as a character available from the start.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

2005-10-12T00:25:38Z

KFan II: /* Poké Ball Pokémon */

Super Smash Brothers Melee is a fighting game for the Nintendo [[Gamecube]] and the sequel to the [[Nintendo 64]] title [[Super Smash Brothers]].

It pits your favourite [[Nintendo]] characters against each other in fast-paced combat.

Note: MS= a meteor smash under certain conditions. A meteor smash is a smash your opponent will have little chance of recovering against.

The info on this page is directly from the Nintendo Power guide. All attack names and character info were gathered from here.
==Pokémon Characters==

Super Smash Brothers Melee features four playable [[Pokémon]] characters: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

===Pikachu===

Pikachu is a very fast character and pretty easy to knock of the stage due to his lightweight. Here are his attacks as follows in Super Smash Brothers Melee:

*A: {{m|Headbutt}}
*A while Dashing: Running Headbutt
*Up+A: Tail Smack
*Left or Right+A: Pika Kick
*Down+A: Tail Sweep
*Smash Up+A: Tail Somersault
*Smash Left or Right+A: {{m|Thundershock}}
*Smash Down+A: Electric Flower
*A (in air): Pika Roll
*Up+A (in air): Tail Chop
*Foward+A (in air): Electric Drill
*Backward+A (in air): Glider
*Down+A (in air): Electric Screw
*B: Thunder Jolt-A ball of electricity will slinky across a level until it hits something or shorts out.
*Up+B: {{m|Quick Attack}}-Pikachu will teleport in the direction you want up to two times. This counts as a Fourth jump and pikachu will unable to do any moves until it grabs a ledge or falls onto solid ground.
*Down+B:-{{m|Thunder}}-An extremely short-range attack. A Thundercloud will strike a bolt strait down, hitting the highest platform on the stage. It will land from the spot of the execution of the move; if it hits Pikachu, it will splash-damage opponents around him as well.
*Side+B: {{m|Skull Bash}}-Pikachu will charge up and rocket sideways. Depending on how long you hold down the B button will make Pikachu fly farther and hit harder.
*Z or R+A: Grab
(after grab, while holding the opponent)
*A or Z: Electric Shock
*Forward: Electrocution
*Backward: {{m|Submission}}
*Up: Electric Skull
*Down: Electric Slam
*Taunt: "Pika-Pika!"-Pikachu waves at (or away from) you.

===Pichu===

Pichu's attacks are identical to Pikachu's, although Pichu damages itself while using electric themed attacks. Pichu is really fast, actually one of the fastest, but is also lighter and easier to send flying. Pichu's attacks are as follows in Super Smash Brothers Melee:

*A: Generic attack.
*Up+A:
*Side+A: {{m|Headbutt}}
*Down+A:
*B: {{m|Thundershock}}
*Up+B: {{m|Quick Attack}}-Same as Pikachu. Pichu can sustain up to two to three damage.
*Down+B: {{m|Thunder}}
*Side+B:
*Taunts: "Pichu!" Pichu does a happy wiggle on the floor.

===Mewtwo===
Mewtwo is surprisingly easy to send flying in the air and has a very delayed jump reaction. He is more of a technical character and a very good teammate when he is with Ganondorf, Capt. Falcon, or Ness.

*A: Dark Flash
*Rapidly tap A: Dark Flame
*A while Dashing: Dark Torch
*Up+A: Flip
*Side+A: {{m|Tail Whip}}
*Down+A: Tail Sweep
*Smash Up+A: Galaxy Force
*Smash Left or Right+A: Shadow Blast
*Smash Down+A: Shadow Bomb
*A (in air): Body Spark
*Up+A (in air): Somersault Kick
*Foward+A (in air): Shadow Scratch
*Backward+A (in air): Tail Flick
*Down+A (in air)(MS): Meteor Kick
*B: {{m|Shadow Ball}} - Mewtwo charges up ala Samus. If he is hit he will lose the charge. Hitting left or right while charging will "stock" the moves current charge and powers. Mewtwo's hand will emmit a dark aura when it is at full power. The move has an erratic flight path when shot and has recoil.
*Up+B: {{m|Teleport}} - Mewtwo teleports once in the direction of your choice. It can't go through thick floors, however, and the teleport transition is slow.
*Down+B: {{m|Disable}} - Short Range attack that temporary disables the opponent, rendering it unable to move. Aids in timing for a throw; also for releasing a charged Shadow Ball.
*Side+B: {{m|Confusion}}-Short Range. The opponent is turned around, causing damage.
*Taunt: "Hahaha!"-Mewtwo twirls around, laughing sinisterly.

===Jigglypuff===

*A: Generic Attack
*Up+A:
*Side+A:
*Down+A:
*B: {{m|Pound}}- A quick punch foward.
*Up+B: {{m|Sing}} (?)
*Side+B: {{m|Rollout}}
*Down+B: {{m|Rest}} Jigglypuff falls asleep and an opponent, if they are lined up correctly, will be sent flying.

[[Image:Pokemonn64.jpg|thumb|right|Pikachu Nintendo 64]]

==Trivia==

Nintendo released several custom products including a Pikachu N64 which came in two colours (blue and orange). It had several customisations such as a Poké Ball for the on button and Pikachu's foot for the reset button.

==N64 Myths==

It is popular belief that the Nintedo 64 was the first 64 bit console, the first console with four controllers and the first console to use an analog stick. This however, is not true. The first game console to bill itself as "64-bit" was actually the Atari Jaguar. The first console to use an analog stick was the Emerson Arcadia. And the first to feature four controller ports was the Bally Astrocade.

==Logo filename==

What is the file name of the Bulbapedia logo? I though it would be Wiki.png, as usual, but alas.. {{User:Jellochuu/s}} 21:15, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, what's the logo's file name? [[User:KFan II|KFan II]] 15:42, 11 October 2005 (CDT)

==Moves/Attacks?==

I've noticed that people have been saying both "moves" and "attacks" when refering to Pokémon attacks, what are we sticking with? I say attacks, I think that's the official name for them. Once we decide [[Bulbapedia:Manual_of_style]] should probably mention it. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 22:34, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think the actual name for moves is technique, but I referrenced move in one article, because that's how they are in the wiki... for example, I think there's a "Hydro Cannon (move)" article. -GreenGiant

I just checked my Silver and Sapphire English booklets (the ones that come with the game). They both use "Move" to refer to the attacks. To add to it, using "Move" keeps consistent with any place that may use the term "Moveset". --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 20:52, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

R/B manual calls them both abilities and techniques. Fr/Lg manual says moves. The G/S manual calls them MOVEs. Okay I give up, we'll call them moves.... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 05:14, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Pokémon Template==

Is it ready yet? If not, why? What is missing, what needs tweaking? I want to start the Pokémon pages. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 11:11, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Featured Article==

Hijacked it to "SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT" because I needed to address some things. I'll rever it next week, probably. If anyone modifies my announcement, except for spelling, expect a blocking. I'll remove it when it's ready to be removed. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:53, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Flavor text==

Whoever's putting "Flavor text" above the Pokédex data '''INSTEAD''' of the phrase "Pokédex data", please stop. I appreciate what you're doing by adding the Emerald Version data, but I can't go through and fix it all. Will the next person to edit these pages fix it back? Thanks much. --[[User:Doug_teh_H-Nut|Doug teh H-Nut]] 7:37 PM EST, Jul 15 2005

==TCG pages==

If I'm not mistaken, I've just made the first TCG page on Bulbapedia. [[Spoink (EX Dragon 73)]]. Could someone make that into a template for the rest of the TCG pages and see if there's anything I could do to make it better? It's numbered like the red links on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s page. Thanks. --[[User:Doug_teh_H-Nut|Doug teh H-Nut]] 11:32 AM EST; Jul 20 2005

==Don't mean to impose, but...==

Have you considered using the setup given by the Pokémon WikiProject at Wikipedia? The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG. Compare [[Wikipedia:Bulbasaur]] with [[Bulbasaur]], for instance. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 00:02, 7 September 2005 (CDT)

== Movesets ==

Should we give mention to particular movesets of Pokémon or mention of certain Pokémon that are overpowered (Blissey, Skarmory, Dodrio, Snorlax, etc.)? - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 14:38, 11 September 2005 (CDT)

This [[Pokémon]]'s appearance is based on the Arabic Anka myth, which is that of a giant arctic bird. The bird is similar to the [[wp:phoenix|phoenix]] as it is known to resurrect itself and appear to doomed people in the mountains.

[[Image:Cissy badge.jpg|thumb|[[Ash Ketchum]] examines a Badge he won from [[Cissy]]]]
A '''Badge''' (Japanese: '''バッジ''' ''Badge'') is an item which denotes a [[Pokémon trainer]] having defeated a [[Gym Leader]]. Trainers need to collect a certain number of [[Gym]] Badges in order to qualify for a region's [[Pokémon League]]. Young trainers usually begin their initial Pokémon journey by travelling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small enough to fit easily between one's thumb and index finger, and can be pinned to a shirt.

Badges affect a [[Pokémon]]'s behavior. A symbol of competence on the trainer's part, Badges force Pokémon under a certain [[level]] to obey. Additionally, Trainers cannot teach a Pokémon an [[HM]] without the appropriate Badge.

=In the Anime=
The [[Anime]] has a few different rules for Badges than in the games. Primarily, Badges seem to do nothing beside signify the defeat of a given Gym Leader. A Pokémon may choose not to obey its Trainer even if he or she has gained all eight Badges, such as [[Ash's Charizard]].

Gym Leaders are quite lenient about giving out Badges in the Anime. Additionally, Trainers do not necessarily have to win a battle with the Gym Leader in order to earn a Badge. The Orange Crew, for example, all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles and [[Ash Ketchum]] was awarded several Badges because of his kind heart and determination.

[[Gary Oak]] acquired more than the standard eight Kanto League Badges, thus leading to confusion as to whether or not there is a finite number of Badges that can be given out in a given region.

Moving up a grade in [[Pokémon Tech]] is the equivalent of winning two Gym Badges. Upon graduation, students may immediately apply for entry in the Pokémon League.

Trainers can take a three-part test that awards a single Badge which allows entry into the Pokémon League.

=In the Pokémon Special manga=
In [[Pokémon Special]], Badges have mystical and mysterious qualities that can somehow increase the power of the Pokémon owned by the Trainer who wields the Badges.

It is not known what sort of material Badges are made of, but they have been used for other purposes. The [[Mask of Ice]], for instance - made an armored mask out of crushed Badges.

[[Team Rocket]] also used the eight Kanto Gym Badges to power a machine that combined three different [[Legendary Pokémon]] into a single beast.

Badges are not required to enter the Pokémon League tournament, however without eight Badges, a trainer must battle their way in to qualify for the finals.

=In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga=
In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Badges work in a way similar to the anime, however, there are some minor differences. All Badges have the Pokémon League logo printed on them.

In addition, Pokémon Trainers are organized by class, much like Pokémon Tech "Class D", "Class C" and so forth. Badges increase the the rank of the trainer who owns them. Ash once believed that he could increase his rank by capturing rare wild Pokémon, however this was not the case.
