Why is he under his English name when no one calls him that? And holy crap, Morikawa did his voice? HOLY CRAP! --BJG
:I call him that. And it would go against the style of the other articles to have him at [[Bashou]]. [[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 15:02, 27 October 2005 (CDT)
::In some scenes of the dub, Attila calls him "Hun". That's true, take a look'''[[User:Haruka uzumaki|うずまき]][[User talk:Haruka uzumaki|ハルカ]]''' 19:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC).

== Page Update ==

Shouldn't we make the box with Steelix's Gen IV sprite like we have for most other characters?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 20:39, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

== Male??? ==

SHE'S A HE!!!

Team Rocket are always boy and a girl it said so in the episode of Chronicles.
She's has a girls voice...
she looks like a girl!!!

:Read the gender section of the article. Hun is male in the Japanese version and just given a female voice for some reason in the dub. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 13:58, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

::That whole "each Team Rocket pair is one male and one female" bit is a bunch of baloney. [[Annie]] and [[Oakley]] are a two-female Team Rocket pair, hence that bit was proven false even before Chronicles started. Besides, we didn't see ALL of [[Jessie]]'s previous partners from [[SS012|Training Daze]], we can't assume every single one of them was male, or that all of [[James]]'s previous partners (if any) were female.

::Furthermore, there's no evidence that 4Kids actually changed his gender for the dub (unlike some others we know of from [[Generation III]]). If you listen to all of [[SS001|The Legend of Thunder]] and look for a telltale sign of a gender swap, there is none. Nowhere in the entire special does Hun ever get referred to as a female. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 14:22, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

== Ana? ==

In European Portuguese Hun was named Ana? What was Attila's name, then? (Just out of curiousity) --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:21, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

==Placement of Ranger info?==

I noticed there was no mention of Sebastian's cameo in Movie 9 on his page, so I added it to his character summary. However, on Attila and Hun it mentions it in the Trivia section. I'm confused. - --[[User:Nekusagi|Nekusagi]] 18:24, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Nekusagi

== Movie? ==

Shouldn't it be mentioned that Hun appears in one of the movies alongside Rayquaza?--[[User:Kasei|Kasei]] 10:49, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is the [[Champion]] of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Elite Four]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==In the games==
===In Sinnoh===
Cynthia helps the main character against [[Team Galactic]] in a point in the game. In {{v2|Platinum}}, when encountered in [[Eterna City]], she will give the {{player}} an {{pkmn|egg}} from which {{p|Togepi}} will hatch. She is also found on {{rt|214}} after the player has defeated [[Crasher Wake]] and received the {{Badge|Fen}}. She gives the player the [[SecretPotion]] to get past the {{p|Psyduck}} group on {{rt|210}}. She is very interested in mythology and history, and spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Sinnoh]] region.
Her family lives in [[Celestic Town]], although her own hometown is unknown.

In {{v2|Platinum}}, once Giratina appears in [[Spear Pillar]] and takes [[Cyrus]] down with it, Cynthia rushes onto the scene and assists the player during their mission in the Distortion World. She then expresses that everything that happened was destined, even though she wished that she was the one who battled {{p|Giratina}}.

Later, she reappears as the League Champion.

After beating the game, if the {{player}} visits [[Celestic Town]] Ruins, she will come and explain what they mean.

===Quotes===
====Before battle====
''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

OR

''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. {{tt|And the Distortion World|Platinum only}}. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"''

The bottom quote is only said the ''very'' first time she is challenged. After winning at least once, it permanently changes to the top quote.

====During battle====
''"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"''

''"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"''

====When defeated====
''"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"''

====In Celestic Ruins (after beating the Elite Four, {{v2|Platinum}} only)====
''"This cave painting...It's always been described this way. The light in the center represents either {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} appearing at the Spear Pillar. The three lights around it were thought to be {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. May I continue? But, then, I realized that there may be another way of interpreting this. Could this triangle of lights actually represent a different trio? Could they be {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} instead? And the large light at their center. Does it represent something else? Could it be [[Arceus (Pokémon)|what created this world of ours]]? May I continue for a little bit longer? Thank you for listening to my theory. Do you know of the ancient [[Plates]] they find all over [[Sinnoh]]? One of them had this engraved on it. 'Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One.' I think this quote, too, points to the presence of another Pokémon. A Pokémon even more powerful than Dialga or Palkia. Does that sound plausible to you? I'm not quite sure how Giratina fits into this scheme of things, but...It's said that in the Distortion World, neither time nor space were stable. I think that tells us something about Giratina, the only Pokémon there. It must have been as powerful as Dialga and Palkia, the rulers of time and space. In some way, though, Giratina has to have a power opposite of theirs. I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit? A long time ago, I wonder what sort of person painted this? Dialga's {{m|Roar of Time}}...Palkia's {{m|Spacial Rend}}...To the people back then, those Pokémon really must have appeared to rule over time and space. Seeing them must have shaken the people to their very core. This painting represents those feelings of awe, wonder, and everything else. It passed that memory to countless people, eventually becoming a myth...That's what I believe as a researcher of myths. I think I let myself get carried away and talked for far too long. I'm sorry, and thank you. Let's meet again."''

===In Johto===
{{upcoming notice}}
[[File:Cynthiaarceus.jpg|thumb|right|Cynthia with Arceus]]
Cynthia makes an appearance in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, doing further investigation on the origins of {{p|Arceus}} and the [[dragon trio]]. If the player has a [[fateful encounter]] Arceus with them as their traveling partner, a trip to the [[Ruins of Alph]] will reveal a new area, the [[Shinto Ruins]], is accessible. Inside, Cynthia is found, and will tell the player that Arceus will let him or her obtain a level 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cynthia.png|thumb|left|240px|Cynthia in the anime]]
Cynthia was first mentioned in [[Lucian]]'s flashback in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet]]'' along with the other members of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]]. She made her first appearance in-person in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]''.

She was first seen battling against [[Lucian]] with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} on television. She then arrived in [[Amity Square]] where she was studying ancient tablets. [[Paul]] then challenged her to a battle. She defeated four of Paul's Pokémon using only her {{p|Garchomp}}.

She reappeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' where she tried to stop [[Team Galactic]] from stealing the [[Lustrous Orb]].

She has been seen battling and defeating {{EF|Aaron}} on [[television]] in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]''.

Her most recent appearance was a cameo at the beginning of ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]'', where she was engaged in a battle against {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}.

In the anime, she has a customized saying for when she throws her Poké Balls, usually only seen in main characters like {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}} and rivals, like [[Zoey]]. She usually calls, "Battle Dance!" when releasing her Pokémon.

This name also refers to the Greek goddess Artemis, who is associated with the moon, which may be a parallel to Cyrus whose name refers to the sun.

Hey...

For the Ribbon Syndacate.

There's the Massage People there, right? Well, they say different things when you massage your Pokémon. I get either dissolved diamonds in oils, or foam containing pearl extract.

'''A Maze-ing Race!''' (Japanese: '''迷路でシャッフル！みんなでハッスル!!''' ''Shuffle in the Maze! Everyone Hustle!!'') is the 46th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 512th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on September 13, 2007 and in the United States on January 19, 2008.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
The episode starts with {{an|Dawn}} leading {{Ash}} and [[Brock]] to a [[Pokémon Center]] in a hurry, in hopes of receiving a new [[Pokétch#Apps|application]] for her [[Pokétch]]. When they arrive at the Center, however, the [[Nurse Joy]] there states that it is in fact the Pokémon Center on the other side of the woods that is giving away the application. She also states that the giveaway is ending soon, so the party heads out in a hurry for the Center on the other side of the woods.

On the way they are stopped by [[Team Rocket]] in [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]], who tell them that they can take a shortcut through a cave, and give them a free map to navigate through a maze at the end of the cave. In exchange for the map, however, the party must take a group photo of them and all their [[Pokémon]] inside the cave. While setting up the photo shoot, Team Rocket plan to swipe all of the party's Pokémon, but before they can everyone is interrupted by a group of {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Golem}} passing by (using {{m|Rollout}}). The party is thus split up.

Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} make it out of the cave first, meeting [[Paul]] and his {{p|Fearow}} on top of the walls of the maze outside. He asks if Paul has seen {{ashfr|the others}}, to which Paul coldly replies no. There he decides to go find Brock and Dawn, leaving Paul be. Team Rocket, disguised as rocks, are able to split up Ash and Pikachu by blocking paths in the maze, but are then blasted off by the {{p|Onix}} that was chasing the earlier Golem and Graveler.

Dawn and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} make it out of the cave and into the maze next. They also meet Paul and his Fearow, ask him if he has seen the others, and leave when he rudely replies no. Brock, [[Ash's Turtwig]], {{AP|Staravia}} and {{AP|Aipom}} exit the cave last, and follow suit by meeting with Paul, asking him if he has seen the others, and getting a cold reply (this time it's Paul who leaves). Staravia then volunteers to search for everyone by sky.

Pikachu, now alone, meets up with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}. Croagunk saves Dawn from being squished by the Onix by pushing her into a crack in the maze wall which it made with {{m|Brick Break}}. Ash, regretting being split up with Pikachu, meets up with [[Dawn's Piplup]], {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]]. Though Piplup and Buizel quarrel about which way to go, they soon team up and are able to force the rampaging Onix to retreat (Ash tells them to use {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Water Gun}} respectively).

All the separate groups, except Ash's, finally find each other with Staravia's help. When Staravia flies back up to look for Ash's group, however, a recovered Team Rocket snatches it and temporarily escapes. Brock and Dawn finally find Ash by calling out, but are still separated by a single wall. Team Rocket then come back and trap Ash's group by crushing and placing rocks on the maze path. Ash tells Piplup and Buizel to use BubbleBeam and {{m|SonicBoom}} respectively at the {{TP|Team Rocket|Rocket Balloon|mechas}}, in order to free Staravia. He then tells Pachirisu and Sudowoodo to use {{m|Discharge}} and {{m|Mimic}} (copying Ash's cheering on Pachirisu) respectively, but Pachirisu's Discharge zaps Ash's group accidentally, allowing Team Rocket to escape.

Everyone then decides to break a hole in the maze wall, and after a while of their Pokémon executing attacks on it, the wall is broken, but not without Team Rocket noticing them. Pikachu, however, surprises Team Rocket from atop a tall hill, then uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to break Staravia's cage and finally {{m|Thunderbolt}} to send Team Rocket blasting off again.

Everyone, now reunited, make it out of the maze and to the Pokémon Center, where Dawn receives the {{DL|Pokétch|Coin Flip}} application. They then continue on their journey, using the new application to lead the way.

Talk:Darkrai (M10)

2009-06-23T20:32:22Z

Kasei:

== Shadow sneak? ==
Several times in the movie, Darkrai uses what looks like Shadow Sneak. I think that should be noted.--[[User:Kasei|Kasei]] 20:32, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

== Picture in Infobox ==
[[Image:Darkrai Movie10.JPG|thumb|230px|??????]]

:Okay then. I get what you're saying. P.S.

::I prefer the new because Darkrai's eye doesn't appear. Because the new shows more of Darkrai. It's good the way it is. Those aren't really Darkrai's legs. Those are its "expandible legs" [[Image:Ani282MS.gif|32px]]'''[[User:Netto-kun|Netto-kun]]''' [[User talk:Netto-kun|Talk]][[Image:Ani445MS.gif|32px]] 23:33, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

::Plus the lighting on the other picture looks really awesome and stuff. ;O; *stares at picture for a bit* So...pretty... [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 23:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Eh...the one you suggest really screws up Darkrai's eye/hair contrast. Stick with the old one. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 16:47, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

== "Asked"? ==

In the article it says they asked Palkia to fix everything. They didn't really ask they told it to fix it. Thoughts?{{ani|448}}[[User:Crystallucario|'''''Crystal''''']] [[User talk:Crystallucario|'''''Lucario''''']]{{ani|448}} 13:07, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I have the movie on DVD and watched it. I remember Ash (or was it Dawn?) saying "Please turn everything back to the way it was." It sounds more along the lines of a demand than a question. [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 18:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

At least in English, he is yelling at Palkia. He says something close to "Palkia! Put everything back to the way it was right now!" I'm pretty sure the 'right now' is in there somewhere. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 16:47, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

== Reserved? ==
Is it just me or does it seem like Darkrai doesn't talk very much in the movie? [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 20:25, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Besides 'really amazing' or 'ghost-like,' the first thing to come to mind when I think of Darkrai in the movie is 'reserved.' The fact that he rarely talks makes him seem cool. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 16:48, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Or maybe he just doesn't know many words. [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 15:06, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

== Gender? ==

Why does Darkrai (anime) have a when Darkrai (species) is genderless --lord mada 14:29, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

It was probably an accident in the dub.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]][[User talk:BlueJirachi|WishMaker]] 14:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
:should it be changed for this article --lord mada 14:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
::if so can i have the honor--lord mada 14:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

The Japanese version did not mention Darkrai being male, but the dub does.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]][[User talk:BlueJirachi|WishMaker]] 14:52, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I think it's rediculous that the genders for legendary Pokemon are all listed as "none" when it'd not 100% confirmed that anime pokemon are genderless, when we can't say whether normal pokemon are male or female unless it's 100% confirmed. ([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 11:23, 16 June 2008 (UTC))

their species are genderless and because they are in their species they are genderless --lord mada 18:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

:Lugia's species was also supposed genderless, and LOOK what it got, a [[Silver (Whirl Islands)|kid]]. Heck, even the games hint that they aren't Truly genderless (well, technically, they weren't even genderless to begin with since they belonged to the "No Eggs" group, and not the "genderless" group that consists of the Magnemite family, the Staryu family, the Voltorb family.), considering their multiple appearances (Ho-Oh was captured in the Sevii Islands, Orre, AND Johto, which would have been impossible if there was only one. Lugia was caught in the Sevii Islands, Orre, AND Johto as well, which, like Ho-Oh before it, would have been impossible should it have been only one of a kind. the elemental bird trio was also hinted that there was more than one since they made an appearance in Kanto/Sevii Islands, Hoenn (they were owned by BRANDON, for goodness sakes), and Orre, plus the fact that Pokémon Snap had them hatching from eggs. the legendary beasts appeared in Johto, Kanto, Orre, and Fiore (even IF they could travel the world at the speed of sound, they wouldn't be appearing in any of those places should they have been captured by Wes, Male Ranger, and Gold. Besides, they also appeared in Kanto, despite the fact that the beasts should have been asleep in the Tin tower for 3 more years.), plus the fact that a new entei is born when a Volcano is created. the Lati@s were hinted to their being more than one in the Pokédex (though, I'll admit it isn't the BEST Source.), There are now 4 Pairs of Regis (the ones you needed to awake in RSE, the ones that Brandon that owns, the ones in Almia, and the ones unlocked in an event in DPP), the superanicent pokémon were hinted to having more than one of their species exist (The mere fact that they all appeared in Hoenn, Orre (under a master trainer's possession), and Fiore hints at that), Dialga and Palkia were seen in Sinnoh AND Almia (which, even with their ability to manipulate time and space, they wouldn't have appeared at all if they were captured by Lucas/Dawn), I'm pretty sure the 3 pixies made an appearance in Almia as well as Sinnoh, there were at least two cresselia in Sinnoh (one wild, one owned by Palmer), as well as one Cresselia in Almia, two Regigigas (again, one wild, one owned by Palmer [well, technically three, since there's the one handed out in theaters]) and one in Almia, and two heatrans (one wild, one owned by Palmer) in sinnoh and one in Almia, and for event Legends, Mew appeared in Kanto, Hoenn, Fiore, Pokemon Island, and technically Sinnoh (My Pokemon Ranch). Celebi appears in Johto, Orre, Fiore, and Almia, Deoxys appears in the Sevii Islands/Kanto, Hoenn, and Fiore (It's also hinted that Deoxys might also be native to Sinnoh as well, due to the Meteorites that change Deoxy's form.), Manaphy, well due to the fact that you first get it as an egg, it's somewhat obvious that there is more than one (It also appears in Fiore and Almia, and also is hinted at being native to Sinnoh), Phione, well, it's really no brainer. Darkrai appears in both Almia AND Sinnoh. lastly, Shaymin appears in Sinnoh, Almia, and Kanto (well, it's implied that it is native in Kanto, due to the mention of a white rock being there.). [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 11:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
::I think you are taking this way to srsly there is no confirmation other than Darkrai cannot have a gender in the games thats how it stays hints aren't going to change that. --lord mada 16:12, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

:::No, the only confirmation in terms of Breeding for Darkrai is that it's in the No-Eggs group (Otherwise, it would have been listed among the likes of the Magnemite Family, the Voltorb family, the Staryu Family, etc, etc.), and even THAT is an fishy placement since, if they were incapable of reproducing, none of the above pokemon would even Have members of the same species in the other regions, main games or side-games/spinoffs alike. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 15:33, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
::::Not all Pokémon are born by breading as Gastly was born from poisonous gasses and Grimer was born from waste, although i agree that baby Lugia was born through breading but the one in the power of one was created from that current. In other words Pokémon don't have to be born through sex. --lord mada 22:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::according to the Pokédex entries, maybe, but if you plop a Grimer and/or a Gastly in a breeding center, and if they fall in love with each other, or if they fall in love with some other pokemon in the center, and Gastly/Grimer produces an egg, which evolves into either a Gastly or a Grimer (depending on which one is the female), I think it would be pretty obvious as to how they were procreated (If they were truly created by Poisonous gases/Toxic waste, why would they need to produce eggs, much less do it to create them?) Also, I don't recall the movie mentioning that it was actually CREATED by the current. I mean, sure, it might have been born in the current, but that doesn't mean that it was created by it. All it means is that it's mom was pregnant and gave birth to Lugia while in the current. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 23:50, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

== VA: Williams or Rogers? ==

Someone's not letting me credit Scott Williams, voice of Baxter on TMNT and credited in the movie, for voicing Darkrai. It sounds nothing like Bill Rogers! It sounds everything like Williams! Where was it confirmed that Rogers voiced Darkrai? First Dai, and now Darkrai. He didn't voice everybody, you know! [[User:Shift|Shift]] 21:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:imdb says otherwise --lord mada 22:08, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:If you could screen shot that bit of the credits as proof please --lord mada 22:11, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
::IMDb's fan-updated too, you know... Here's your proof, dude: "http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/Pitch/credits_darkrai.jpg"
Bottom of the list: proves he was in it, didn't specify what role. Darkrai sounds the most like him from his roles as Baxter, so I logically concluded it was him. Now that I see it, Sean Rey probably voiced Dai and not Rogers or Williams. You accidently helped me out, man! Thanks! [[User:Shift|Shift]] 22:22, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:You probably just have a better ear for voices oh well I give in. --lord mada 23:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

== Something Wrong in the Trivia ==

''Darkrai, along with Entei, Manaphy, and Meowth, is a non-Psychic-type with the ability to talk without telepathy.''

So Darkrai wasn't using telepathy? How do you know? I didn't see any lip movements. The same goes for Entei. If it wasn't using telepathy than what was it using? As far as I know Meowth, Manaphy, and if you wanna count Chatot, are the only Pokémon that spoke without telepathy. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:29, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
:I vote on removing that piece of trivia. Manaphy and Meowth are the only non-Psychic-type to talk non-telepathically. Entei's lips never move, and as for Darkrai... he doesn't even have any lips! - [[User:SpontaneousCombusken|spontaneous'''Combusken''']] 03:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
:I'd be best to remove it, in my opinion.~[[User:Pokemaniac102|Pokemaniac102]] 03:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
I think it should stay and we should add Chatot --lord mada 08:36, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

You only ever see 25% of Darkrai's features at any given time, and you never see the bottom 50%, period. Wether or not he has a mouth, I don't think he's using telepathy. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 16:48, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

== thunder wave ==

should thunder wave be added to the list of moves darkrai can use? The attack looks like blue lighting bolts, and whenever thunder wave is used in the show, it appears as a blue bolt. also, after it hit Lickilicky, the pokemon seemed to be a little stiff before unleashing its hyper beam.[[User:Darkcloud1111|Darkcloud1111]] 01:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

'''Cooking Up a Sweet Story''' (Japanese: '''対決！サトシ対ピカチュウ!?''' ''Showdown! {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}} VS Pikachu?!'') is the 24th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 490th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on March 29, 2007 with [[DP025|''Oh Do You Know the Poffin Plan'']], and in the United States on July 16, 2007.
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} are having a practice {{pkmn|battle}} with {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in order to prepare for the {{to|Floaroma}} {{pkmn|Super Contest|Contest}}. Pikachu attempts an {{m|Iron Tail}} but Piplup dodges and uses {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Pikachu executes several backflips to dodge. Dawn switches Piplup out for {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. Pachirisu uses {{m|Discharge}} but Pikachu absorbs the attack with its tail. Pikachu fires {{m|Thunderbolt}} but Pachirisu dodges. The attack destroys the rock it was on and causes a dust storm. When it clears, a woman marches up to Pikachu and asks to borrow Pikachu to for three days. She introduces herself as [[Theresa]] and [[Brock]] immediately goes for her, but {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} {{m|Poison Jab|stops him}}.

The group head to a bakery where her grandmother [[Abigail]] bakes cakes, but since her {{p|Pikachu}}, named Sugar, disappeared, she's been down. Theresa wants Ash’s Pikachu to pretend to be Sugar in order to help her win a cookoff in three days. Ash mentions that she might be able to tell that Pikachu isn't the same, but Theresa mentions that Sugar would scratch its head with its tail occasionally. Pikachu mimics the move, with Theresa approving, saying that it's just like how Sugar does it. Ash agrees and they head to the bakery. Pikachu marches up to Abigail and scratches it head, passing the act. Guests come by and greet "Sugar", the façade working perfectly as Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} watch, noticing Abigail’s better mode. Abigail grabs a basket and heads out with Pikachu. Theresa mentions that she is going to get berries for the ingredients.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] walks along with several boxes of [[Berry|berries]] when they notice a powerful {{t|electric}} attack. They decide to head over, finding Pikachu using Thunderbolt to dislodge {{b2|Aspear}} Berries from a tree. Abigail gathers them as Team Rocket watches, noticing that Pikachu is Ash's and deciding to poach it. Back at the bakery, Ash and his friends listen to Theresa talking about how Pikachu's Thunderbolt helps in baking. Ash decides to find Pikachu to make sure his [[Pokémon]] is doing okay. Abigail gathers the basket of berries as Team Rocket confronts them. Team Rocket recites {{TP|Team Rocket|their motto|mottos}}. Pikachu prepares to attack as Ash and his friends notice. Ash wants to help, but Theresa holds him back. Theresa confronts them as Jessie's Seviper attacks Pikachu. Abigail has Pikachu run underneath a tree and fire a Thunderbolt straight up. Before Seviper bites, the Aspear berry hits Seviper on the head and stops it. Pikachu fires Thunderbolt to send Seviper back and send Team Rocket flying. Abigail congratulates Pikachu as Ash and his friends arrive.

As they walk back, Theresa mentions that Abigail was a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} in the [[Grand Festival]]. Knowing that Ash is heading to the [[Eterna Gym]], Abigail asks for a battle, which stuns everyone. Theresa tries to talk her out of it, but Abigail is determined. Knowing that the battle would affect the disguise, Ash accepts. Back at the bakery, Ahs is hesitant to battle. Pikachu gives Ash a nod as Ash brings out {{AP|Aipom}}. Aipom is stunned at battling Pikachu at first, but they get together and prepare to duel. Pikachu heads forward as Aipom uses {{m|Double Team}} to surround Pikachu. Pikachu jumps up and fires a Thunderbolt down to create a blast of dirt, which destroys the Double Team. Ash gets serious and has Aipom use rapid-fire {{m|Focus Punch}} [[Move|attacks]]. Pikachu continually jumps backwards, eventually backing into a large rock. Aipom prepares to fire a strike, but Abigail gets in front and the attack stops. Abigail forfeits the battle and congratulates Ash as she heads inside, leaving Ash stunned.

As night falls and everyone prepares for bed, Ash is worried that Abigail will be upset at learning the truth. He decides to tell the truth based on what happened in the battle. He heads off to find her. Abigail is out on the porch with Pikachu looking out to the moon. She mentions that the night was the same one when Sugar disappeared. Ash comes out and wants to tell, but Abigail already knows. She mentions that how Pikachu got the berries was different from Sugar's method. Sugar was not able to crack the berries open, so Sugar left to find a way to get stronger.

Suddenly, a mecha arm steals Pikachu as Team Rocket shows up in {{TP|Team Rocket|another mecha|mechas}}, locking Pikachu in a cage. Pikachu’s Thunderbolt is negated due to the cage. Team Rocket runs away as Ash jumps onto the mecha. The others follow in a van. Ash uses {{AP|Staravia}}’s {{m|Wing Attack}} on the mecha, but it's ineffective. The van catches up as Staravia attempts {{m|Aerial Ace}}. They jump a cliff and Ash falls off. The mecha fires another mecha arm to [[Unable to battle|knock out]] Staravia. Team Rocket runs away as Ash recalls Staravia. The van cannot go off the cliff edge, as they appear to get away. Suddenly, a powerful electric attack stops the mecha, but it appears outside. The light fades as they notice a {{p|Raichu}}. The Raichu scratches its head with its tail, revealing that Sugar evolved into a Raichu. They launch another mecha arm, but Sugar jumps to dodge it and uses Focus Punch to break it. Sugar then uses dual Focus Punch attacks on the mecha exterior. After a constant battering, it breaks the hull open and Sugar gets inside, grabbing Pikachu's cage and escaping. Sugar fires a Thunderbolt into the exposed hold and destroys the mecha, sending Team Rocket flying.

The next day, the cake is finished and they sample the cake, finding it awesome. They congratulate Sugar for doing so well as Dawn is ready to go for her first [[ribbon]].

== A little problem: ==
Has it ever occured to anyone that the only reason legendary pokemon are unable to breed in the games is because the creators didn't want people running around with 6 Mewtwo in a party? Yes it is possible to make Phione, but I personally don't count that. I keep seeing reports of how astonished it seems that Lugia had a child in the anime, when that's only natural. I would personally think it's smart to note on the page that, despite the fact that they cannot normally breed in the games, in the anime they can breed just like any other pokemon. I mean, seriously, several times in the anime we have observed multiple legendaries. At least two sets of all the regis exists, one set (Regirock, Regice, Registeel, and Regigigas,) all appear in movies, a second set appears in the mainstream anime. Two Darkrai have been shown, as have two Mew. I'm also pretty sure there was at least 3 Lugia observed, and two Latios. I think the only truly legendary pokemon that would probably not breed in the anime include Mewtwo and the Regis, but again mutliple copies exist. Only one mewtwo exists in the anime so it probably won't breed anyway. I'm sorry if this seems like a rant but I seriously think this is something worth looking in to, and again should be mentioned somewhere on the page. Please consider this rant. --[[User:Kasei|Kasei]] 02:46, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

== WTF? ==

Giratina controls dimensions? That's stupid... can somebody remove that? Time and Space (depth, lengh and width) are the freaking dimensions everyone!!! So Giratina has more power than both Dialga and Palkia? I think not. Remember that Giratina lives in the Distortion World... a place that disobeys the laws of Time and Space. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 22:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

There are 2 types of dimensions, matematical, which you were talking about, and spacial, which would be under Giratina's control. If you don't belive me, look up "Plane (metaphysics)" on Wikipedia. The dimensions that Giratina controls are '''alternate planes of exictence''', also called '''dimensions'''!- ''unsigned comment from {{u|GuyNamedSean}} ([[User talk:GuyNamedSean|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GuyNamedSean|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

:Not to sound like a broken record here, but I've just gotten through the Distortion World on my second run-through and Cyrus doesn't make that statement anywhere. I even saved right before the battle with Giratina to see what Cyrus would say in both scenarios (catching Giratina or defeating it), but the dialogue only changes slightly and there's still no explicit mention of it having control over dimensions. Besides, aren't space and time dimensions as well? Judging from some of the official interviews on Giratina I've just read, I'm more inclined to say that Giratina simply controls antimatter. If I'm not mistaken, antimatter IS considered to be the third factor out of time and space, after all. I propose that we take "dimensions" out of the sentence.

== Bubbly Mew ==

Wherever I go, whatever I read that's about Mew or the first movie, it says something like "The Bubbly Mew appeared in the first move", or something like that.

==Phione?==
Does Phione really count? And why not Unown? I always thought of the symbols as legends. Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - Sk8torchic
:Phione counts because to get one you have to breed a legendary. Unown doesn't because it's extremely distant from any other legendary. Note the beasts and the birds. Sure they're separated by the powerhouses and events by Dratini and Larvitar's families, but they're next to each other and divided from the others by no more than three Pokémon. Unown has 50 down and 42 up. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:41, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

:::Besides, nobody would buy Unown being legendary, what with how they're found all over the place in the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Chambers]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]].

:Not to sound like a broken record here, but I've just gotten through the Distortion World on my second run-through and Cyrus doesn't make that statement anywhere. I even saved right before the battle with Giratina to see what Cyrus would say in both scenarios (catching Giratina or defeating it), but the dialogue only changes slightly and there's still no explicit mention of it having control over dimensions. Besides, aren't space and time dimensions as well? Judging from some of the official interviews on Giratina I've just read, I'm more inclined to say that Giratina simply controls antimatter. If I'm not mistaken, antimatter IS considered to be the third factor out of time and space, after all. I propose that we take "dimensions" out of the sentence.

== Bubbly Mew ==

Wherever I go, whatever I read that's about Mew or the first movie, it says something like "The Bubbly Mew appeared in the first move", or something like that. Now, why is it called "Bubbly Mew" and why is it just the Mew in the first movie?

==Phione?==
Does Phione really count? And why not Unown? I always thought of the symbols as legends. Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - Sk8torchic
:Phione counts because to get one you have to breed a legendary. Unown doesn't because it's extremely distant from any other legendary. Note the beasts and the birds. Sure they're separated by the powerhouses and events by Dratini and Larvitar's families, but they're next to each other and divided from the others by no more than three Pokémon. Unown has 50 down and 42 up. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:41, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
::So all legends have to be near each other in the pokedex? Since when? Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - Sk8torchic 16:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

:::Besides, nobody would buy Unown being legendary, what with how they're found all over the place in the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Chambers]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]].

Hiya, all! You can refer to me as Kasei, or [[Primal Dialga]], because that is my current favorite pokemon, with [[Darkrai]] holding second place. I'm new here, but I have noticed a lot of pages that need updating, such as the [[Darkrai (anime)]] page, among others. Still, I might as well hang out around here and help out.

[[Image:11th movie final poster.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Final ''Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin'' movie poster]]
The movie '''ギラティナと{{tt|氷空|そら}}の花束シェイミ''' ''Giratina and the {{tt|Sky's|the word ''sky'' is written with kanji meaning ''icy sky'', implying the sky is icy or hailing.}} Bouquet: Shaymin'' is the second [[Generation IV]] Pokémon movie, the second of the Diamond & Pearl movies trilogy, and the eleventh Pokémon movie overall. It premiered in Japan on July 19, 2008.

==Summary==
{{spoilers}}
The Reverse World, where {{an|Giratina}} lives, is a beautiful and rule-breaking mirror of the Pokémon world. But the Reverse World takes in all of the real world's pollution, saving the real world from air pollution. As a result of the events in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'', dark, poisonous clouds have appeared and overlaid the Reverse World. Giratina becomes enraged and lures {{an|Dialga}}, which it holds responsible for the chaos, into its world. {{an|Shaymin}} is inadvertently drawn to the Reverse World, as well. Narrowly avoiding Giratina and Dialga's attacks, it uses {{m|Seed Flare}} to escape back to the real world; this allows Dialga to seal Giratina in the Reverse World.

Shaymin appears before {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|his friends]]. It is capable of telepathy, and has a habitual behavior called "Flower Carrying" (Japanese: 花はこび). It also has the power to transform from its original Land Forme, to an embodiment of the clear sky - Sky Forme. This transformation is only made possible through exposure to a special pollen; Shaymin is able to transform upon touching the [[Glacidea Flower]] carried by [[Leila]]. Shaymin, fearing for its life after its encounter with Giratina, journeys with the group to a beautiful, flower-filled place called [[Glacidea]].

Another character, [[Mugen]], who owns a {{p|Shieldon}} and is a talented scholar specializing in study of the Reverse World, has wound himself into the plot. He appears beneficial to Ash and his friends. However, his former assistant, [[Zero]], appears as the main villain in the film. He seeks the power of Giratina to space-travel, which will allow him to take over the Reverse World. In order to unleash Giratina, he plots to force Shaymin to use Seed Flare once more. He owns a {{p|Magnezone}}, many {{p|Magnemite}} and a robotic maid named [[Infi]], who controls his ship named the [[Megaliba]].

The final battle has Ash, Giratina and Shaymin face Zero. Meanwhile, Zero's actions have caused a giant glacier in the Real World to start moving, which spells imminent danger to a nearby town. Dawn and Brock attempt to use their Pokémon to slow the glacier down, but their efforts do not prove successful as {{p|Regigigas}} appears and announces that they're too weak. The [[Legendary]] then commands a herd of Mamoswine to help stop the glacier.

==Reception==

It took second place in the Japanese box office from its release during July 19-20, where 982,000 people spending ¥1,018,770,000 (US $9,463,400) and was beaten by ''{{wp|Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea}},'' which 1,251,107 people spent ¥1,575,820,000 (about $14,638,000) to see.

It is tracking at 89.8% of the box office performance of the last year's Pokémon film, ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' (Japanese ''Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai''), which eventually earned a franchise record of ¥5.02 billion (US $47 million).

==Trivia==
*The events of this movie happen between the episodes [[DP086]] and [[DP087]], and premiered in Japan between those episodes.
* The staff went to three locations in Norway to form a basis for the movie's setting - {{wp|Sognefjord}} (the second largest {{wp|Fjord}} in the world), {{wp|Jostedalsbreen}} (the largest glacier in Europe), and {{wp|Bergen}} (the second largest city in Norway).
* This will be the second time when a legendary Pokémon from a previous movie reappears. The only other time was in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', where {{p|Mew}} made a second appearance after ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. It was, however, a different Mew, whereas the {{p|Dialga}} in this movie is the same one that battled with {{p|Palkia}} over [[Alamos Town]].
** This is also the first Pokémon movie where a legendary Pokémon reappears immediately after the previous film. In other words, this is the first Pokémon film to feature a legendary Pokémon twice in a row.
* This movie ties with ''[[The Power of One]]'' and ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'' (and ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', in a sense) for having the most legendary Pokémon (four). Unlike those two movies (or three, depending on whether the three Deoxys's forms in ''Destiny Deoxys'' are considered separate), this movie also features two alternate forms, bringing the aforementioned number up to six in a certain sense.
* The ending theme song for the movie is ''[[ONE]]'' by {{wp|Crystal Kay}}.
* Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} and Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}} debuted in this movie prior to their game debut in {{game|Platinum}}.
* Palkia doesn't appear in the movie despite it being on the first movie poster. This marks the second time that Pokémon appear on the posters even though they don't actually appear in the movie itself, the first being in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (one of whose posters showed [[Ash's Sceptile|Treecko]] and [[Brock's Marshtomp|Mudkip]], which did not play a role in the film). The poster for the non-Japanese release of ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' also showed several unused Pokémon in stock poses.
* This movie marks the first time that [[Brock's siblings|Brock's family]] and [[Johanna|Dawn's mother]] appear in a movie, and the first time [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] appears in a movie since ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.
* The mother and girl that were reading the legend of [[Rota]] in the beginning of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and were seen buying a cotton candy and running away from Darkrai in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' are seen again making a cameo in this movie.

'''Darkrai''' (Japanese: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is the featured [[Pokémon]] in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. Its Japanese voice actor is 石坂浩二 ''Kōji Ishizaka'' and its English voice actor is [[Scott Williams]].

It was mistook as an evil Pokémon since the beginning of the movie. Soon it was discovered to be good, and took the task upon itself to stop the fighting between {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}}.

Darkrai is very protective of [[Alice]] because it believed that she was her grandmother [[Alicia]], who helped Darkrai when it was injured. Once, when Alice was a child, Darkrai saved Alice after she fell off a crumbling cliff. However there are [[AegisShipping|other beliefs]] regarding the reason for protection as well.

Darkrai ended up sacrificing itself to protect everyone from Dialga and Palkia's powers. After {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} asked Palkia to turn everything back to the way it was, Darkrai was revived.

*Kōji Ishizaka is actually the curator for a museum where Pokémon dolls were displayed as a ''The Rise of Darkrai'' promotion.
*Dispite the fact that [[Darkrai (Pokémon)|Darkrai]] Cannot learn {{m|Shadow Sneak}}, he appears to be using it several times in the movie.

Core series

2008-07-30T16:13:27Z

Kasei:

As has been indicated in the past, not every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}} has been discovered yet, and regions to which unknown Pokémon are native will be revealed gradually.

Currently, there are four [[generation]]s of Pokémon games, each with their own set of then-new Pokémon, moves and several other things that have become the pattern of the [[main series]] so far. Although nothing is known at this time about Generation V or beyond, the patterns which have applied to all four current generations, are expected to continue to hold true in the future.

What is so far assumed from the patterns that have run from [[Generation I]] to the present about Generation V and beyond is as follows:
*Initially, there will be two versions of the new game, which will differ in capture rates and [[version exclusives]]. A more extensive third version will be released some time later, in which most Pokémon previously exclusive to one of the two versions will be available, but other Pokémon found in both versions will be missing.
**'''Evidence:''' The three-version formula has been used in every generation, with the sole exception of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (to which the two-version formula does apply).
*A new [[region]] will be explored. It will be geographically similar to a real-life region in Japan.
**'''Evidence:''' Each of the four generations has been centered in a new region relative to its time: [[Kanto]] in Generation I, [[Johto]] in Generation II, [[Hoenn]] in Generation III, and [[Sinnoh]] in Generation IV. The similarities to Japan's regions are noted [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|here]].
*A previously unknown [[Pokémon professor]] will reside in this region and have new {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Fire}} and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon available for the player to select for his or her adventure. The professor will be named after a tree in the English version.
**'''Evidence:''' Professors [[Professor Oak|Oak]], [[Professor Elm|Elm]], [[Professor Birch|Birch]], [[Professor Rowan|Rowan]] and their [[starter Pokémon]].
*More new Pokémon will be introduced. Some may be [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolved forms]] or [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]] of Pokémon now known. The amount of new Pokémon introduced will likely not be below 100 or above 151. Specifically, a dual-typed {{2t|Normal|Flying}} bird Pokémon will be introduced along with a rodent based {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
**'''Evidence:''' Each generation after the first has introduced at least two Pokémon related to those of previous generations. The amount of Pokémon released each generation was 151, 100, 135 and 107. As for the birds and rodents, in each generation there has been one of each introduced:
***'''[[Generation I]]''': {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}}. {{p|Spearow}} was also introduced in this generation.
***'''[[Generation II]]''': {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Sentret}}
***'''[[Generation III]]''': {{p|Taillow}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}}
***'''[[Generation IV]]''': {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Bidoof}}
*The new [[regional Pokédex]] will begin with the starter Pokémon and their evolutionary kin as #001-#009, in the order of Grass-Fire-Water. It will lack at least some Pokémon. The [[National Dex]] numbers of new Pokémon will start with #494 for the Grass-type starter and continue on at least up to #593 if at least 100 Pokémon are added.
**'''Evidence:''' [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 184 Pokémon. [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 342 Pokémon.
*There will be eight [[Pokémon Gym]]s and an [[Elite Four]], of which each will specialize in a specific [[elemental type]], and a [[Champion]] at the end of the Elite Four. There will also be an evil team that the player will battle and eventually defeat after a battle with its leader.
**'''Evidence:''' This is part of the standard [[version]] formula.
*There will be an {{pkmn|anime}} season or series. In it {{Ash}} will travel to a new region, bringing his Pikachu, and will capture the resident bird Pokémon and at least one [[Starter Pokémon]]. He will have a team consisting of {{AP|Pikachu}}, the bird Pokémon, a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, and another Pokémon. He will challenge the [[Gym]]s of the region. He may receive new [[Ash's friends|traveling companions]], and will get a new outfit made by [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] at the beginning of the new series
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{2v2|Red|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
*There will be some new [[manga]] produced, some [[Pokémon Special]] chapters written, and new [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] cards created.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{pkmn|Red and Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
*{{p|Pikachu}} will be found in the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' The series mascot can be caught in every portable Pokémon game, except {{game|Yellow}} where it is the starter.
*The evolutionary families of {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|Magikarp}} will be included within the new region.
** There has not been one [[sea route]] yet where Magikarp or Tentacool/{{p|Tentacruel}} hasn't been found. Magikarp is always catchable with the [[Old Rod]] as well. Goldeen is a common fishing Pokémon as well. Zubat and Geodude or their evolutions can be found in nearly every cave, along with Machop or Abra occasionally. Psyduck is common around lakes or in [[Safari Zone]]s.
*There will be at least one [[legendary trio]] in the next generation, as well as at least one Über legendary and one [[event Pokémon]].
**'''Evidence:''' Generation I has exactly one of each of the above, and all subsequent generations have expanded on this number in some way.
*It is likely that the new generation will be playable on a new handheld game system.
**'''Evidence:''' With the exception of Gold and Silver, every new generation was released for the newest Nintendo handheld consol.

''''M''' is a [[glitch Pokémon]] found in the [[Pokémon]] [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red and Blue]] [[Game Boy]] games, much like [[MissingNo.]]. It is most commonly called "'M", since the apostrophe and capital letter M are the only typographical characters in its name. It is also called "'M Block" because its name is comprised of two glitched box-like graphics with "' M " in the middle. 'M and other glitch Pokémon appear in the games due to a programming oversight.

When a player encounters 'M or [[MissingNo.]], the quantity of the sixth item in their bag becomes increased by 128. Also, if the player has [[Hall of Fame]] data, encountering 'M. corrupts it. Aside from that, 'M does not have a real ability; in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red and Blue]] abilities did not exist yet.

Since 'M does not exist in any game that uses the Special Attack and Special Defense stats, only its Special stat is listed.

As the {{t|Bird}} type isn't weak, resistant, or immune to any type, 'M's secondary typing effectively does not affect its type advantages.

==How 'M is found==
The most common way players encounter 'M in the ''Red'' and ''Blue'' versions of ''Pokémon'' is by doing the following:
*Going to the northern part of Viridian City and watching the Old Man's demonstration of how to catch a Pokémon.
*{{m|Fly}}ing or {{m|Teleport}}ing to [[Cinnabar Island]] or [[Fuchsia City]].
*Surfing up and down along the east coast of Cinnabar Island or the [[Seafoam Islands]] closest to Fuchsia City until 'M appears. In Pokémon Stadium, the game saves automatically upon encountering 'M.<ref>[http://www.cheatsnetwork.com/cheats/2480.html Pokémon (Game Boy)] ''Cheats Network'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>, <ref>[http://pages.prodigy.net/maryjorhodes/codespok.htm Mew's Pokémon Gameboy Cheats] ''Pokémon Glitch Fan Site'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>
*Alternatively, a player can also cause 'M to appear by trading Pokémon with a friend via a link cable or with one of the in-game traders, then Flying or Teleporting to Cinnabar or the Seafoam Islands and surfing along the coast as mentioned before.
*'M (and its {{v2|Yellow}} counterpart, [[3TrainerPoké]]) can only be encountered through the [[Mew Glitch]] if a Pokémon with a Special stat of 0 is used. Since it is impossible to get a Pokémon with a Special stat of 0, it is impossible to encounter 'M through the Mew Glitch.
*For some reason, 'M will appear through the [[Old Man Glitch]] regardless of the player's name.

'M has no Pokédex description, and is not registered in the Pokédex. Encountering an 'M (or another glitch Pokémon, like [[Missingno.]]) will add 128 of the sixth item in the player's inventory if the player already has 127 or less of that sixth item. (The item's quantity will then appear as a pixel blob until brought down to 99 or fewer.<ref>[http://www.gamerevolution.com/cheat/gameboy/pokemon_bluered Pokémon Blured] ''Game Revolution'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>) Many players take advantage of this by duplicating rare items like [[Poké Ball|Master Ball]]s and [[Nugget]]s. Catching a glitch Pokémon can distort in-battle graphics and the Hall of Fame data; sending a glitch Pokémon to the storage PC may prevent the player from using the storage system unless they start a new game; this has not been proven. Severe glitches may erase saved games or even corrupt the entire cartridge.

==Appearance and attributes==
There are 256 available [[index number|memory "slots"]] for Pokémon data; 'M is found in the first slot, #0. (151 other slots are real Pokémon; 47 are trainers; 38 are Missingno., and the remaining 18 are other glitches like 'M.
<ref>[http://www.trsrockin.com/missingno4.html Missingno. Mystery Solved] ''Team Rocket Fansite'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>)

Although it seems at first glance to be like [[MissingNo.]], they are actually different glitches with many differences; for example, 'M can evolve into {{p|Kangaskhan}} while Missingno. cannot. Missingno.'s cry differs between a shortened version of {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s cry, {{p|Ditto}}'s cry, and {{p|Dragonair}}'s cry, whereas 'M's cry is a slightly different version of {{p|Zapdos}}'s cry. If 'M is traded to the {{v|Yellow}}, it will become a [[3TrainerPoké]], but when Missingno. is traded to the Yellow version, it stays as Missingno. (although it will behave differently then the Red/Blue Missingno.).

In the party, 'M will appear as the glitched sprite of a person in the area where the player currently is.

'M, like most forms of [[Missingno.]], appears as a mass of pixels in a backwards 'L' shape. Its icon in the Pokémon menu is also glitched, often appearing as a pixelated Surfing icon or a black blob (it changes based on the player's location). When used in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], it looks like a {{m|Substitute}} doll.

Also like [[Missingno.]], 'M is often of the type Bird/Normal, knows {{m|Sky Attack}} and two {{m|Water Gun}}s, has the ID number #000, does not appear in the Pokédex, and is found through the same glitches as Missingno. is. However, it is ''not'' the same Pokémon. 'M and the different versions of Missingno are located in different memory slots; also, 'M has a different cry, learns {{m|Pound}} at level 138, and can evolve into a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. (Its evolution is not random: 'M's identifier is 0 and Kangaskhan's is 2.)<ref>[http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html R/B Hex List] ''Team Rocket Fansite'' URL Accessed [[July 27]], [[2006]]</ref>

The blocks in 'M's name depend on which sprite is occupying the spot where the player's Pokémon appears. In battle, the block on the left of its name will copy part of the sprite in the bottom-left corner of the screen (the player's Pokémon), while the block on the right will copy part of the sprite in the upper-right corner of the screen (the opponent's Pokémon). Out of battle, the blocks in its name will change depending on the player's location.

When the player captures an 'M, the battle will continue. Capturing "'M" again will result in capturing a {{p|Ditto}}; why this happens is unknown.

==Advantages and disadvantages of 'M==
Encountering 'M, [[Missingno.]], and other glitch Pokémon often interferes with the saved game data in various ways. Trainer and Pokémon graphics during battle are corrupted; the Hall of Fame data is extremely glitched (changes in screen color, music, and game speed have been known to occur alongside the obvious unidentifiable pixelations substituting for where Pokémon appeared).

'M's presence also allows what is known as the "[[Rare Candy Cheat]]" or "Item Duplication Cheat", the Pokémon games' infamous item duplication bug, which adds 128 of the sixth item in the player's inventory, if the player already has less than 128 of that sixth item. It is commonly used to duplicate valuable and hard-to-obtain items, such as [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]], [[PP Up]]s, and Master Balls. However, the duplication bug can affect any item in the game, not just Rare Candies. Using the bug to duplicate Key Items is possible, allowing the player to obtain more fossils for reviving {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}}; though many do not recommend this, as the player cannot get rid of duplicated key items through "tossing" or selling, and they serve only to take up inventory space.

The coasts where 'M may be found are used for other cheats as well. If the player {{m|Surf}}s along the coasts after leaving an area where certain wild Pokémon appear, those Pokémon will continue to appear by the coast, even if they are not water-dwelling Pokémon. This is because Surfing along the coasts does not overwrite the data for which wild Pokémon are available, and if the player's name has not been stored in that area through one of the procedures above, the previous wild Pokémon will appear. (see reference 4) This glitch can be used to fight Pokémon from the Safari Zone in a normal battle.

Another advantage of the 'M is its ability to evolve into {{p|Kangaskhan}}. TMs and HMs taught to 'M will carry over when it evolves to Kangaskhan, enabling a Kangaskhan to have moves it wouldn't ordinarily be able to learn, like {{m|Fly}}.

==Charizard 'M==
''Main article: [[Charizard 'M]]''

Other in-game glitches (notably the [[Mew glitch]]) can produce the "Charizard 'M", a Pokémon named 'M but with the {{p|Charizard}} graphic. It is not to be confused with [[Glitchy Charizard]], a similar but unrelated glitch caused by the [[Mew glitch]]. Charizard 'M is a different from the typical 'M, and causes significantly more damage to the game. Charizard 'M can also change all of a player's [[party]] Pokémon into Charizard 'M, but the moves and type do not change, and putting these "transformed" Pokémon into a box makes the other Pokémon Charizard 'M also.

Depending on the circumstances, Charizard 'M can overwrite the player's name with the letter Z, engage a new battle from the battle screen, or transform all party Pokémon into {{p|Bulbasaur}}.<ref>[http://www.trsrockin.com/dex_charzm.html Dex Charizard] ''Team Rocket Fansite'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>

Charizard 'M can be obtained by doing the following:
*Catch a [[44Hy]] in the Yellow version by doing Method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]] using a Pokémon with a special stat of 192, or trade a [[A|Lowercase A glitch]] from Red/Blue
*Evolve the [[44Hy]] into a [[Q]] (the Yellow equivalent of Charizard 'M)
*Trade the [[Q]] to the Red/Blue and it will become Charizard 'M

Unlike other glitch Pokémon, a Charizard 'M's ID number is always #000 and its Original Trainer will either be blank or a set of letters partially from the player's name. As a result, it is impossible to nickname a Charizard 'M. Its cry is static and sometimes causes the background music to end. Charizard 'M is found in all the slots from 248 to 255, not slot 0 like 'M; they are not the same glitch. Its type, like a normal Charizard's, is Fire/Flying. (See above reference.) There are reports that Charizard 'M can be used to swap moves of Pokémon stored in the PC, depending on the order they are withdrawn. Additionally, Charizard 'M is not recognized by the game as a Pokémon in many circumstances. If a player places it in his or her party, it will render all other Pokémon invisible (see above reference). Furthermore, Charizard 'M cannot be healed at a Pokémon Center.

The Charizard 'M learns different attacks than a normal 'M: it learns Swords Dance at level 9, Slam at 11, TM50 (a glitch attack, not the move Substitute) at level 19, a nameless glitch attack at level 28, TM09 at level 30, Aurora Beam at 32, TM29 (another glitch, not Psychic) at level 33, Karate Chop at level 40, and Jack (apparently a glitch which reads one of the pre-loaded names for the player character or rival) at level 62. (See above reference.)

Although Charizard 'M seems to be the most common form (possibly caused by a blank spot in the party), this glitch can also appear as another Pokémon, such as {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Ditto}}, or {{p|Butterfree}}. The glitch will have the same types as the normal Pokémon, but will learn very different level-up moves.

Sometimes, if game link activity goes wrong (typically from faulty link cables or dirty connectors), glitched Pokémon may be produced, in which a Charizard 'M is a possible result.

==In Pokémon Stadium==
'M and [[Missingno.]] can be uploaded to {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, and (if the game doesn't freeze) will look like Substitute dolls (small {{p|Rhydon}} or {{p|Kangaskhan}}-like figures that appear when a Pokémon uses {{m|Substitute}}). 'M's graphic is blue and Missingno.'s is purple. When viewed in the Pokémon Center, all of 'M's stats will be question marks (including the Pokédex species ID number, even though the Game Boy versions identify 'M and Missingno. as #000). However, 'M will not be allowed to battle, nor will it function correctly in the Gallery (in which players can take pictures of Pokémon). Photos of it will not develop if taken.

If 'M or any other glitch Pokémon is selected in the "see list", the game will freeze, playing the music without the bass track in the background. If a player tries to view 'M's stats, the game will also freeze on occasion. <ref>[http://www.console-cheats.com/nintendo64/PokemonStadium.shtml Pokémon Stadium Cheats] ''Console Cheats'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>

==Generation II==
'M cannot be traded to [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] because it supposedly does not exist in the second generation. In the trade center, 'M appears as a {{p|Slowpoke}} or {{p|Tyrogue}}. When the players try to trade 'M, a message appears stating "Your friend's ['M's name] appears to be abnormal." and the trade is canceled automatically. Less often, 'M can be traded, in which case it turns into the Pokémon it was displayed as. <ref>[http://pages.prodigy.net/maryjorhodes/codespok.htm Code Pok] ''Prodigy.net'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>

Similar problems present themselves when attempting to transfer 'M or [[Missingno.]] to Pokémon Stadium 2. If successfully transferred, 'M and Missingno. will become a {{p|Ditto}}. <ref>[http://www.funtrivia.com/en/VideoGames/Pokemon-RedBlueYellow*-13505.html Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow] ''Fun Trivia'' URL Accessed [[July 23]], [[2006]]</ref>

==Trivia==
*'M's sprite, movepool, and stats are identical to [[Missingno.]]'s, but with two move differences: Missingno. cannot learn {{m|Pound}}, and 'M is incompatible with {{TM|50|Substitute}}. Funnily enough, it is a substitute in Stadium.
*'M's cry is almost exactly identical to that of {{p|Zapdos}}.
*'M is twice as large as Missingno., but not nearly as heavy.
*If a level 0 'M is captured and sent to the [[PC]] (this also applies to the subsequent {{p|Ditto}}), the game will freeze if the player tries to withdraw either one. This probably started the (fake) rumors of 'M and other [[Glitch Pokémon]] being horribly dangerous to the saved game file if captured.
*If a level 0 'M is given 0 exp from a battle with another level 0 Pokémon, it levels up to 100.

'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon. In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout [[Kanto]]. In order to catch one, a trainer must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or [[PokéGear]].

Snorlax comes with one of two [[Ability|abilities]]: {{a|Immunity}}, which protects the Pokémon from being poisoned; or {{a|Thick Fat}}, which cuts damage from {{t|Fire}}- and {{type2|Ice}} moves in half.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Snorlax's body is composed of mostly its belly, as it only wakes up to eat and seldom exercises. Its head is also big, and it has two pointed teeth sticking out. Its feet are extremely big compared to most Pokémon, so as to provide balance. Its arms are short, however, they are long enough for Snorlax to reach out, grab its lunch and put it in its mouth. Snorlax's big belly provides huge amounts of defense, thus, not many predators bother hunting it.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===

===Behavior===
Snorlax spend the majority of their time sleeping, surviving off of their stored up fat. Many Snorlax only awaken once a month, and that is so they can find more food. A hungry Snorlax isn't satisfied until it consumes 900 pounds of food, and then it goes back to sleep. If one ever sees a sleeping Snorlax, he or she should not wake it up, because these Pokémon become very grumpy if their peaceful dreams become interrupted. Several {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon using {{m|Dream Eater}} find this out the hard way.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Snorlax are often in mountains and forests. However, they sometimes wander into towns and streets and sleep there.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Snorlax will eat anything and everything that is edible, they aren't really very picky. Upon finding something new on its territory, a resident Snorlax will put it in its mouth to see if it's something that can be eaten. Snorlax are fond of large, thorny vines as a snack item.

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG149 107.jpeg|thumb|[[Ash's Snorlax]] using {{m|Ice Punch}}]]Snorlax first appeared in ''[[EP041|Wake up Snorlax]]''. This Snorlax was blocking the water flow to a small village.

In ''[[EP094|Snack Attack!]]'', a Snorlax was eating the grapefuits of the [[Grapefuit Islands]]. {{Ash}} managed to capture it near the end of the episode. After the adventures in the [[Orange Islands]], [[Ash's Snorlax]] spent most of its time at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', a Snorlax was a sheriff in a western-themed Pokémon movie.

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', another Snorlax was causing trouble for a man named [[Marcell]] by eating the bananas in his {{p|Slakoth}} Banana Garden. Marcell's newly evolved {{p|Vigoroth}} defeated the Snorlax, allowing him to capture it. Afterwards, Marcell made an attraction around his new Snorlax: a relaxation room.

A Snorlax also appeared near the end of ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', evolving from {{p|Munchlax}} in order to stay afloat during a 'flood' of malfunctioning robots.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]'', a Snorlax made a cameo as one of [[Pike Queen Lucy|Lucy's]] pets.

''[[H012|Training Daze]]'' featured a [[Alternate coloration|red]] Snorlax which [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, while competing with [[Butch]], [[Cassidy]] and {{TR|Raticate}}, were sent to steal in order to become official Team Rocket field agents. The Snorlax turned out to be [[Viper]], the Team Rocket Academy Drill Sergeant, in disguise.

==In the manga==
{{Special|Red}} caught a Snorlax on [[Cycling Road]].

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Snorlax Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will fly up into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

Snorlax is also a Pokéfloat. It is in its sleeping form and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.

====Trophy information====
Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
After being released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will fly up into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Ranger]]: Snorlax will be seen sleeping throughout the game, effectively cutting off certain areas until later on. It will eventually remain in a cave in the [[Sekra Mountain Range]]. Once the rest of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Ranger Browser]] has been completed, it will wake up and can be captured.

==Trivia==
*Until [[Generation III]], Snorlax was the heaviest Pokémon. It was then passed up by both {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Groudon}}. In [[Generation IV]], both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}} are heavier than it as well, setting it back to its present state of the fifth-heaviest Pokémon known, ''sixth'' if players take [[MissingNo.]] into consideration.
*Snorlax has the fifth highest base HP of all Pokémon, after {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, and {{p|Wailord}}, in that order.
*Snorlax could learn or know the move {{M|Headbutt}} from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]], but can't naturally learn it as of [[Generation IV]] by moveset.

===Origin===
It may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|Teddy bear}}s.

====Name origin====
Snorlax's name is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax''. The ''lax'' in its name might also come from relax. Its Japanese name may come from an alternate reading of sleep, 寐 ''bi'', and a corruption of 鼾酔 ''kansui'', snoring, or 憩う ''ikou'', rest. It may also incorporate mold, 黴 ''kabi'', noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food. 잠만보 is derived from "Sleepy-head"

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Relaxo - ''Relax'' with an "o" at the end.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ronflex - ''Ronfler'' means snore.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 잠만보 ''Jammanbo''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 卡比兽

'''MissingNo.''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: けつばん ''Ketsuban'') is a {{t|Bird}} and {{t|Normal}} -type [[Glitch Pokémon]]. It is the best-known of all the Glitch Pokémon. Its name is a shortening for ''Missing Number''.

There have also been MissingNo.-like glitches in other Pokémon RPGs, which are even sometimes called a MissingNo.; however, these aren't related to the Red/Blue MissingNo., and are usually only obtainable with some sort of game enhancing device.

When a MissingNo. or other glitch Pokémon is viewed in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], it will appear as a baby {{p|Rhydon}} (the image used in the substitute attack). When viewed in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Missingno, will show up as a {{p|Ditto}}, and if the game is then saved from Stadium 2, the Pokémon will be a Ditto permanently.

==Biology==

===Physiology===

Missingno. has four well-known forms. For its alternate forms, a specific letter must be present in the player's name as the third, fifth or seventh letter. The specific letters are put in the description of each form.

[[Image:000.png]]
Its {{tt|normal form|Most common appearance}} is as a box of pixels in a backwards 'L' shape that is similar to the shape of a [[wp:Tetris|Tetris]] piece. No specific letter is necessary for it to appear.

[[Image:RBghost.PNG]]
Its second form is similar to the [[Literal ghost|Ghosts]] found in the [[Lavender Tower]] before obtaining the [[Silph Scope]]. It appears only if a lowercase 'y' is found in the Player's Name.

[[Image:Aeroskelton.PNG]]
The third form is similar to the {{p|Aerodactyl}} fossil found in [[Pewter City]]'s museum. It's obtainable if a lowercase 'x' is found in the Player's name.

[[Image:Skeletops.PNG]]
The final form is the {{p|Kabutops}} fossil found in the Pewter museum as well. It appears if there's a lowercase 'w' is present in the Player's name.

====Gender Differences====
MissingNo.'s only appearances were in [[Generation I]] games, where genders were not yet specified. As a result, MissingNo. has no known gender.

====Special Abilities====
MissingNo. is notable as being one of the few not Flying-type Pokémon to learn {{m|Sky Attack}}.

MissingNo.'s appearance in-battle allows what is known as the "[[Rare Candy cheat]]," the games' infamous item duplication bug. It is commonly used to duplicate valuable and hard-to-obtains items, such as the [[Rare Candy]] item (hence the name of the cheat). However, the duplication bug can affect any item in the game, not just Rare Candies. It even affects Key Items, making it nearly impossible to deposit them in the PC. However, this does allow players to revive a large number of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Omanyte}}/{{p|Kabuto}}.

Also encountering MissingNo. has been known to interfere with the save game data in various ways, such as adversely affecting the [[Hall of Fame]] saved data.
====Behavior====
MissingNo. has no known behavior.

====Habitat====
MissingNo. is found most often on the east coast of [[Cinnabar Island]], though has been known to appear on the eastern coast of the [[Seafoam Islands]], and can be found via the [[Mew Glitch]].

====Diet====
{{main|Pokémon food}}
MissingNo.'s dietary specifications are unknown.

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
If MissingNo. is caught, it will not appear in the Pokédex (unless caught via the Mew Glitch BEFORE passing through [[Rock Tunnel]], and even then, the entry is blank). This is because the bit of data that tells the game that Missingno. is captured is the same as the data for battling a Cubone, and there are unavoidable trainers in Rock Tunnel who use Cubone. Because of this, there is no official Pokédex description for MissingNo.

==Trading MissingNo.==
MissingNo. can be traded into the [[Pokémon Yellow]] version of the game, but cannot be traded into [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], the sequels to Red, Blue, and Yellow. In Pokémon Yellow, MissingNo. levels down to [[level]] 1 and stays there permanently. Rare Candies will not work because when this Missingno. enters battle, after it gains experience points, it will revert to level 1.

When it is traded, MissingNo. appears as one of many different [[Pokémon]] from the Gold/Silver perspective, and when the player tries to [[trade]] MissingNo. a message appears that says "Your <name> appears abnormal" and the trade automatically cancels. However, there are rare cases of it successfully being traded and turning into to the Pokémon that it was said to be. If it does, and is attempted to be traded back a Generation I game while the players are still in the Time Capsule, it will turn back into a Missingno.

==Why MissingNo. appears==
'''MissingNo.''' is the [[Glitch]] Pokémon that appears after viewing the Old Man's tutorial in [[Viridian City]] on how to catch Pokémon, then immediately {{m|Fly}}ing to [[Cinnabar Island]] and {{m|Surf}}ing along the right hand side of the island until one is encountered, without visiting any other areas.

Whenever the game "sets up" the planned battle against the Old Man's {{p|Weedle}}, it needs to change the player's character name to "OLD MAN" so that it will display "OLD MAN" instead of the name the player has entered.

The programmers decided to use the area of data where wild [[Pokémon]] information is as a temporary storage area for the player's name, due to the lack of memory on a [[Game Boy]]. Normally this wouldn't cause any abnormal activity, as the correct data for the wild Pokémon available is written to this area in memory whenever the player travels to an area where it is possible to catch wild Pokémon.

Along Cinnabar Island's coast, however, there is no data indicating which wild Pokémon are catchable, and the same is true for both Viridian City and Cinnabar Island itself, at least by movement in long grass. The game uses whatever data was already in the corresponding area of data when determining which wild Pokémon encountered and their levels-- now the player's name. Normally this space in memory would hold the data of the last area visited where wild Pokémon were catchable in grass and their level data (this same glitch allows players to exit the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and {{m|Fly}} immediately to Cinnabar Island to be able to catch and fight Safari Zone Pokémon in the same way as they would in other areas, as Fuchsia City also has no wild Pokémon data for long grass), however, since in both Viridian City and Cinnabar Island the data is empty for Pokémon obtainable in the grass, the active data is never overwritten, leading to Missingno.'s. availability, among other things.

The name of the player has six hexadecimal values in it. The game needs only three "slots" of wild Pokémon data to store this.

The wild Pokémon the player encounters along the coast are determined by the third, fifth, and seventh characters of the player's name, while the levels are determined by the second, fourth, and sixth characters, respectively. By knowing which letters and symbols match which species and levels, through use of certain calculators and charts [http://glitchcity.info/misc/namegen2], it is possible to set the player name at the start of the game so as to find specific Pokémon at specific levels.

==MissingNo. in Pokémon Yellow==
[[Image:MissingnoYellow.jpg|thumb|right|The appearance of the Missingno. found in the Yellow version using the [[Mew glitch]] is different from the Red/Blue Missingno. appearance]]
When [[Pokémon Yellow]] was released, the original Missingno. and M glitches were disabled and removed from the game.

However, some time after Yellow was released, a [[Mew Glitch|new code]] was discovered that allowed the capture of any Pokémon, including Mew and Missingno (see [http://www.trsrockin.com/yellowmn.html] for details). Doing method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]] using a Pokémon with a special stat of 31, 32, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, or 86 will cause Missingno. to appear. The Yellow version Missingno. is known to be more malicious than the Red/Blue Missingno., and frequently causes the game to freeze when it is found, though there is about a 1/32 chance that it won't freeze. It is recommended that the game ''not'' be saved after capturing it, because it can corrupt or delete the data. If it is caught, it will cause graphical glitches, such as rendering the player invisible, and causing lots of duplicates of the player to walk all over the screen.

[http://youtube.com/watch?v=r75FYH2o1FM Video of an encounter]

==Nintendo on MissingNo.==
Nintendo has an official description of Missingno. listed in their Customer Service troubleshooting section<ref name="NintendoTroubleshooting">http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp</ref>:

<blockquote>"MissingNO is a programming quirk, and not a real part of the game. When you get this, your game can perform strangely, and the graphics will often become scrambled. The MissingNO Pokémon is most often found after you perform the Flight Safari Zone Pokémon trick [or Viridian Old Man trick]. To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNO Pokémon."</blockquote>

==Trivia==
*MissingNo. has the highest {{stat|Attack}} [[base stat]] of all Pokémon in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] and the ninth highest out of '''''all''''' Pokémon. Likewise, it has the lowest {{stat|Defense}} base stat of any Pokémon, and the third lowest {{stat|Speed}} base stat, only losing to {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Munchlax}} whom each have a base Speed of 5 each.
*MissingNo. is the heaviest of all Pokémon, its weight surpassing even {{p|Groudon}}.
*Despite it being almost half of {{p|'M}}'s height, it is more than twice its weight.
*Before the truth about how MissingNo. exists was known, many fans speculated that it was a removed [[legendary Pokémon]] (Given its extremely low catch rate, one can see the reasoning behind this).
*In its normal form, it shares the exact same movepool as 'M, with two exceptions; It doesn't learn {{m|Pound}}, and can learn the TM for {{m|Substitute}}.
*If MissingNo.'s [[Pokédex]] data is somehow accessed, it will consist of a very long string of glitched sounds. Unlike [[.4]] or [[h POKé]]'s Pokédex data, however, it will not lock up the game.
*A rumor claims that the player must have five or less [[Pokémon]] with him or her if he or she actually tries to catch Missingno., otherwise, his or her game may malfunction when he or she tries to withdraw it from [[Bill's PC]]. (If, of course, a player has six [[Pokémon]] at the time Missingno. is caught, MissingNo. will be sent to Bill's PC, just like any other Pokémon.) This rumor will only hold true, however, if the Pokémon in question is level 0 (It is impossible to encounter a MissingNo. at level 0). Therefore, it is possible to extract MissingNo. from Bill's PC without game malfunction.
*As mentioned before, if the Elite Four is defeated and the Hall of Fame option appears in the PC, seeing MissingNo. will cause very distorted characters, glitched names and completely different Pokémon to show up instead of your Pokémon who have beaten the Elite Four. The Hall of Fame is the only extremely noticeable change after seeing MissingNo.
*Though MissingNo. cannot usually be traded into [[Generation II]], it will appear to be a G/S/C Pokémon such as {{p|Remoraid}} or {{p|Stantler}} on the trade screen for Gold/Silver/Crystal, depending on its [[index number]].
*Rumors are still plentiful that capturing MissingNo. can cause permanant damage to your game, possibly even erasing the save files, when in fact, the Hall of Fame glitching is the only permanent side effect, rendering MissingNo. (relatively) safe to capture and train.

*The TM/HM compatiblilites of the other three forms vary based on the last Pokémon species' data the game loaded. In this way, a skilled player can teach their ghost or skeleton form MissingNo.s any TM or HM in Red and Blue.

==Trading MissingNo.==
MissingNo. can be traded into the [[Pokémon Yellow]] version of the game, but cannot be traded into [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], the sequels to Red, Blue, and Yellow. In Pokémon Yellow, MissingNo. levels down to [[level]] 1 and stays there permanently. Rare Candies will not work because when this Missingno. enters battle, after it gains experience points, it will revert to level 1.

When it is traded, MissingNo. appears as one of many different [[Pokémon]] from the Gold/Silver perspective, and when the player tries to [[trade]] MissingNo. a message appears that says "Your <name> appears abnormal" and the trade automatically cancels. However, there are rare cases of it successfully being traded and turning into to the Pokémon that it was said to be. If it does, and is attempted to be traded back a Generation I game while the players are still in the Time Capsule, it will turn back into a Missingno.

==Why MissingNo. appears==
'''MissingNo.''' is the [[Glitch]] Pokémon that appears after viewing the Old Man's tutorial in [[Viridian City]] on how to catch Pokémon, then immediately {{m|Fly}}ing to [[Cinnabar Island]] and {{m|Surf}}ing along the right hand side of the island until one is encountered, without visiting any other areas.

Whenever the game "sets up" the planned battle against the Old Man's {{p|Weedle}}, it needs to change the player's character name to "OLD MAN" so that it will display "OLD MAN" instead of the name the player has entered.

The programmers decided to use the area of data where wild [[Pokémon]] information is as a temporary storage area for the player's name, due to the lack of memory on a [[Game Boy]]. Normally this wouldn't cause any abnormal activity, as the correct data for the wild Pokémon available is written to this area in memory whenever the player travels to an area where it is possible to catch wild Pokémon.

Along Cinnabar Island's coast, however, there is no data indicating which wild Pokémon are catchable, and the same is true for both Viridian City and Cinnabar Island itself, at least by movement in long grass. The game uses whatever data was already in the corresponding area of data when determining which wild Pokémon encountered and their levels-- now the player's name. Normally this space in memory would hold the data of the last area visited where wild Pokémon were catchable in grass and their level data (this same glitch allows players to exit the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and {{m|Fly}} immediately to Cinnabar Island to be able to catch and fight Safari Zone Pokémon in the same way as they would in other areas, as Fuchsia City also has no wild Pokémon data for long grass), however, since in both Viridian City and Cinnabar Island the data is empty for Pokémon obtainable in the grass, the active data is never overwritten, leading to Missingno.'s. availability, among other things.

The name of the player has six hexadecimal values in it. The game needs only three "slots" of wild Pokémon data to store this.

The wild Pokémon the player encounters along the coast are determined by the third, fifth, and seventh characters of the player's name, while the levels are determined by the second, fourth, and sixth characters, respectively. By knowing which letters and symbols match which species and levels, through use of certain calculators and charts [http://glitchcity.info/misc/namegen2], it is possible to set the player name at the start of the game so as to find specific Pokémon at specific levels.

==MissingNo. in Pokémon Yellow==
[[Image:MissingnoYellow.jpg|thumb|right|The appearance of the Missingno. found in the Yellow version using the [[Mew glitch]] is different from the Red/Blue Missingno. appearance]]
When [[Pokémon Yellow]] was released, the original Missingno. and M glitches were disabled and removed from the game.

However, some time after Yellow was released, a [[Mew Glitch|new code]] was discovered that allowed the capture of any Pokémon, including Mew and Missingno (see [http://www.trsrockin.com/yellowmn.html] for details). Doing method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]] using a Pokémon with a special stat of 31, 32, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, or 86 will cause Missingno. to appear. The Yellow version Missingno. is known to be more malicious than the Red/Blue Missingno., and frequently causes the game to freeze when it is found, though there is about a 1/32 chance that it won't freeze. It is recommended that the game ''not'' be saved after capturing it, because it can corrupt or delete the data. If it is caught, it will cause graphical glitches, such as rendering the player invisible, and causing lots of duplicates of the player to walk all over the screen.

==Nintendo on MissingNo.==
Nintendo has an official description of Missingno. listed in their Customer Service troubleshooting section<ref name="NintendoTroubleshooting">http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp</ref>:

<blockquote>"MissingNO is a programming quirk, and not a real part of the game. When you get this, your game can perform strangely, and the graphics will often become scrambled. The MissingNO Pokémon is most often found after you perform the Flight Safari Zone Pokémon trick [or Viridian Old Man trick]. To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNO Pokémon."</blockquote>

==Trivia==
*MissingNo. has the highest {{stat|Attack}} [[base stat]] of all Pokémon in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] and the ninth highest out of '''''all''''' Pokémon. Likewise, it has the lowest {{stat|Defense}} base stat of any Pokémon, and the third lowest {{stat|Speed}} base stat, only losing to {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Munchlax}} whom each have a base Speed of 5 each.
*MissingNo. is the heaviest of all Pokémon, its weight surpassing even {{p|Groudon}}.
*Despite it being almost half of {{p|'M}}'s height, it is more than twice its weight.
*Before the truth about how MissingNo. exists was known, many fans speculated that it was a removed [[legendary Pokémon]] (Given its extremely low catch rate, one can see the reasoning behind this).
*In its normal form, it shares the exact same movepool as 'M, with two exceptions; It doesn't learn {{m|Pound}}, and can learn the TM for {{m|Substitute}}.
*If MissingNo.'s [[Pokédex]] data is somehow accessed, it will consist of a very long string of glitched sounds. Unlike [[.4]] or [[h POKé]]'s Pokédex data, however, it will not lock up the game.
*A rumor claims that the player must have five or less [[Pokémon]] with him or her if he or she actually tries to catch Missingno., otherwise, his or her game may malfunction when he or she tries to withdraw it from [[Bill's PC]]. (If, of course, a player has six [[Pokémon]] at the time Missingno. is caught, MissingNo. will be sent to Bill's PC, just like any other Pokémon.) This rumor will only hold true, however, if the Pokémon in question is level 0 (It is impossible to encounter a MissingNo. at level 0). Therefore, it is possible to extract MissingNo. from Bill's PC without game malfunction.
*As mentioned before, if the Elite Four is defeated and the Hall of Fame option appears in the PC, seeing MissingNo. will cause very distorted characters, glitched names and completely different Pokémon to show up instead of your Pokémon who have beaten the Elite Four. The Hall of Fame is the only extremely noticeable change after seeing MissingNo.
*Though MissingNo. cannot usually be traded into [[Generation II]], it will appear to be a G/S/C Pokémon such as {{p|Remoraid}} or {{p|Stantler}} on the trade screen for Gold/Silver/Crystal, depending on its [[index number]].
*Rumors are still plentiful that capturing MissingNo. can cause permanant damage to your game, possibly even erasing the save files, when in fact, the Hall of Fame glitching is the only permanent side effect, rendering MissingNo. (relatively) safe to capture and train.
