Kidburla: /* Additions to "Anime without epicodes" */

NOTE TO EVERYONE:

Hey. No moving stuff yet. We're going to be finalizing the epicodes for some and determining order (though usually it'd be by original airdate). '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 07:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, please can we move "The Birth Of Mewtwo" higher up in the table so it sits between "Snow Way Out" and "Slowking's Day"? This CD Drama was released originally in Japan just a couple of weeks after [[M01]] and so it should really appear before "Slowking's Day" and its successors. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] 20:52, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
:Sure. Done. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:34, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

== Apokélypse ==

I have read on Wikipedia about a new live action movie called Pokémon Apokélypse. What is the Epicode for that movie? [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 00:26, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

== Additions? ==

From the three most recent manga, [[Pokémon RéBURST]] is RB, Pokémon BW: Good Partners is GP and Pokemon Battle Stories is BS. Are those ok? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 01:53, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

== Why? ==
Why are [[BW026]]="釣りソムリエ・デント登場！", [[BW023]]&[[BW024|024]]="ロケット団ＶＳプラズマ団！（前編）&（後編）" and [[EP052]]="げきとう！ポケモンひなまつり/Princess vs. Princess" etc. while "ルージュラのクリスマス/Holiday Hi-Jynx" and "ワークでビバーク/Snow Way Out!" don't have a number? Imho it doesn't make sense and seems like despotism. --[[User:Bernd|Bernd]] 16:01, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

== Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer ==

Hi,

Shouldn't we add B2W2AT to the "anime without epicodes" section? As we have things like Slowking's Day and The Legend Of Thunder in there, so I think it should be helpful to have B2W2AT in there as well? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 16:03, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
:B2W2AT doesn't fit the section; it's a trailer for the new games, not a special episode of the anime. --[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] ([[User talk:Mikuri|talk]]) 16:28, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

== Manga episode code ==

== Final chapter info/confirmation ==

The final chapter for Pocket Monsters DP is confirmed to be [[PMDP59]], whereas the final chapter for Pocket Monsters HGSS is [[PMHGSS23]] and Pokémon Try Adventure's final chapter is [[TA47]]. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 03:24, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

== Pokémon Sword and Shield Anime Epicode ==

'''[[User:JoeRunner|JoeRunner]] ([[User talk:JoeRunner|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/JoeRunner|and stuff]])''' 01:27, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

== Add season epicode ==

The season epicode, '''S''', should be mentioned. Can someone who can edit the page add it? '''[[User:JoeRunner|JoeRunner]] ([[User talk:JoeRunner|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/JoeRunner|and stuff]])''' 00:15, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

== Episodes formerly labeled as side stories (SS), now without an epicode ==

These are three Mystery Dungeon anime specials, a Pokémon Ranger special, and three movie prologues preceding movies 16, 17 and 18. Could these be added to the section "Anime without epicodes"? [[User:MH|MH]] ([[User talk:MH|talk]]) 09:03, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
:Three years later and this is still an issue. Additionally, the Planetarium specials and [[A Ripple in Time]] do not have an epicode either. Clip shows also don't have an epicode but not sure if that should be included or not. [[User:KadenLovesVulpix|KadenLovesVulpix]] ([[User talk:KadenLovesVulpix|talk]]) 08:50, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

== Epicodes for the 2019 series ==

The epicode SS is listed as "provisional". Now that we know the series is '''not''' titled ''Sword & Shield'' in any region, should we look into changing this? (If changed, I presume "SS" would be disambiguation if a side story previously existed there.) [[User:Bwburke94|bwburke94]] ([[User talk:Bwburke94|talk]]) 16:04, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
:'''PJ''', for Pokémon Journeys, was proposed [[Talk:Pokémon Journeys: The Series#series_and_epicode_name_question|here]], but it's still up in the air. '''[[User:JoeRunner|JoeRunner]] ([[User talk:JoeRunner|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/JoeRunner|and stuff]])''' 21:15, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

== Updates ==

Now that the series pages go by their English names, I first and foremost think the significance of BW should be indicated for '''B'''lack and '''W'''hite. I’m also wondering whether the Chronicles episodes should get a similar English-friendly epicode like Journeys did--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 22:29, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
:[[Pokémon Chronicles]] is purely a dub creation. In other words, it does not exist as an original version in Japan, and the Chronicles episodes are independent episodes of themselves. Therefore, it wouldn't make sense to come up with an epicode for Chronicles. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:49, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

== Pokémon Evolutions ==

We should add [[Pokémon Evolutions]] epicode to this page. It's '''PE'''. [[User:Vmario97|Vmario97]] ([[User talk:Vmario97|talk]]) 14:56, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

== Hisuian Snow ==

So, we have now another problem. We need to think what epicode should be, because HS is reserved for Hōsō/side stories. [[User:Vmario97|Vmario97]] ([[User talk:Vmario97|talk]]) 06:33, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
:I'm not sure how epicodes are decided but '''SI''' could work after "Snowmelt Indigo", its Japanese name. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 06:38, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

== Additions to "Anime without epicodes" ==

The following specials previously had epicodes under the old SSxxx numbering, but lost them as part of renumbering. I think they should be included in the "anime without epicodes" section.

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (anime special)]]

Also, the movie prologues should be added here too:

* [[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]
* [[Diancie — Princess of the Diamond Domain]]
* [[Hoopa — The Mischief Pokémon]]

Finally, I still think that the four animated trailers ([[B2W2AT]], [[PMDAS]], [[ORASAT]] and [[PMAT]]) and also the [[Template:Anime bonus segments|bonus segments]] should at least be mentioned here, even if only to say that they don't have epicodes and don't fit into the table. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 17:07, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

== JNS/HIS ==

The format for [[JNS01]]-[[JNS05]] should be added to the page, similar to how it's listed for the DP/BW/XY specials. Also the last episode of HIS is HIS03 which should be listed similarly to other completed series. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 17:45, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

== Episodes formerly labeled as side stories (SS), now without an epicode ==

These are three Mystery Dungeon anime specials, a Pokémon Ranger special, and three movie prologues preceding movies 16, 17 and 18. Could these be added to the section "Anime without epicodes"? [[User:MH|MH]] ([[User talk:MH|talk]]) 09:03, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
:Three years later and this is still an issue. Additionally, the Planetarium specials and [[A Ripple in Time]] do not have an epicode either.

== Epicodes for the 2019 series ==

The epicode SS is listed as "provisional". Now that we know the series is '''not''' titled ''Sword & Shield'' in any region, should we look into changing this? (If changed, I presume "SS" would be disambiguation if a side story previously existed there.) [[User:Bwburke94|bwburke94]] ([[User talk:Bwburke94|talk]]) 16:04, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

== Updates ==

Now that the series pages go by their English names, I first and foremost think the significance of BW should be indicated for '''B'''lack and '''W'''hite. I’m also wondering whether the Chronicles episodes should get a similar English-friendly epicode like Journeys did--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 22:29, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
:[[Pokémon Chronicles]] is purely a dub creation. In other words, it does not exist as an original version in Japan, and the Chronicles episodes are independent episodes of themselves. Therefore, it wouldn't make sense to come up with an epicode for Chronicles. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:49, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

== Additions to "Anime without epicodes" ==

The following specials previously had epicodes under the old SSxxx numbering, but lost them as part of renumbering. I think they should be included in the "anime without epicodes" section.

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (anime special)]]

Also, I still think that the four animated trailers ([[B2W2AT]], [[PMDAS]], [[ORASAT]] and [[PMAT]]) and also the [[Template:Anime bonus segments|bonus segments]] should at least be mentioned here, even if only to say that they don't have epicodes and don't fit into the table.

Hi, please can we move "The Birth Of Mewtwo" higher up in the table so it sits between "Snow Way Out" and "Slowking's Day"?

== Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer ==

Hi,

Shouldn't we add B2W2AT to the "anime without epicodes" section? As we have things like Slowking's Day and The Legend Of Thunder in there, so I think it should be helpful to have B2W2AT in there as well? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 16:03, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Pokémon League Conference

2022-06-29T00:28:05Z

Kidburla: /* See also */

{{move|Pokémon League (anime)}}
[[File:Ash Paul Lily of the Valley Conference.png|thumb|300px|{{Ash}} vs. [[Paul]] in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]]]
A '''Pokémon League Conference''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリーグの大会''' ''Pokémon League Tournament'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive championship tournament that is hosted seemingly annually in several [[region]]s in the [[Pokémon world]].

==Structure==
The general structure of most League Conferences is similar: [[Pokémon Trainer]]s must register for the region's [[Pokémon League]], something which they can do at seemingly any [[Pokémon Center]] or with a [[Pokémon Professor]], and then must win at least eight of the region's [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s in order to be able to register for the competition. In addition to this method, the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] is known to accept entrants who have passed the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] or graduated from [[Pokémon Tech]].

The tournament competition itself has an opening and closing ceremony. In some regions, there is a torch with the flame of {{p|Moltres}} or {{p|Ho-Oh}} that burns for the duration of the tournament, a reference to the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]]'s {{wp|Olympic Games}}.

The day after the ceremonial torch has been lit, in some of the regional Leagues the qualifying rounds begin so as to weed out Trainers who have gotten the required eight Badges, but are not yet skilled enough to continue, and those who survive move on to the preliminary rounds. In other regional Leagues, instead, the preliminary rounds will begin right away, and will continue for several days until the top sixteen Trainers have been decided. At this point, there is a short break in the competition so that the Trainers and their Pokémon may rest, followed by the start of the final rounds.

In the final rounds, most, if not all, battles are usually [[Full Battle]]s. All battles are conducted in the main stadium, and Trainers move up the tournament tree in {{wp|single-elimination tournament|single-elimination style}}. The winning contestant matchups are shuffled between rounds, as opposed to using traditional ladder seeding. The winning Trainer, upon defeat of their opponent, is awarded a trophy and earns the right to enter the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}} to officially challenge the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} of that region.

In [[Alola]], due to the lack of Gyms in the region and the fact that its Pokémon League was only established recently, no specific conditions need to be met in order to enter its League Conference, and its winner was directly declared as the first-ever Champion of Alola. The newly-crowned Champion subsequently faced the League's founder, {{an|Professor Kukui}} (originally intended to appear as the Masked Royal), in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}}.

Most Leagues use various types of fields during Pokémon battles. While the Vertress and Manalo Conferences uses only a standard dirt battlefield, every other Conference has held battles on various different battlefields, like icy, rocky, forested, grassy, and water to name a few. A standard rule for the Conferences with a myriad of battlefields, is that during the Full Battle stage in the tournament, once one side loses three Pokémon, there is a short break, during which a field change occurs.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Trying to reach Ecruteak City our heroes are stopped in their tracks, unable to cross a bridge-less river. As they walk the bank, they see an old fisherman and strike a bargain, a ferry-ride across the river in exchange for an elusive Sudowoodo! As they comb the nearby mountains in search of one of these unique Pokémon they run into two research scientists arguing over Sudowoodo's type. Join Ash and the gang as they encounter this truly versatile Pokémon and attempt to determine what type Sudowoodo really is!

==Plot==
While making their way toward [[Ecruteak City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} find their path blocked by a river. {{an|Brock}}'s map suggests that a bridge across exists, but all they can see is construction workers working on a new bridge. Ash asks the construction manager where the bridge over the river is; he informs Ash and friends that a typhoon had swept the old bridge away. The group is dismayed to learn that the new bridge will be completed in six months.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} soars through the sky in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|hot air balloon]], cooking potatoes with the balloon's fire. After Jessie complains that the meal is taking too long to cook, {{MTR}} suggests that they turn up the heat. However, their balloon burns to a crisp, sending the occupants hurtling towards the ground. A stunned [[James]] informs the others that their potatoes are well done.

Back at the river, Ash and friends, trying to think of a way to cross the river, spy a [[Marie's grandfather|fisherman]] in a rowboat. The fisherman agrees to take them across in exchange for a captured {{p|Sudowoodo}}, a species that supposedly lives on a nearby mountain. The friends begin looking for Sudowoodo, and even {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} tries to help. Surprisingly, Psyduck happens upon a Sudowoodo almost immediately. The Imitation Pokémon poses as a tree, confusing Psyduck by moving back and forth. Psyduck tries to alert Misty, but Misty doesn't see through Sudowoodo's camouflage until it moves. Discovered, Sudowoodo panics and runs, followed closely by Ash, Misty, and Brock.

After losing track of Sudowoodo, the gang enters a clearing, surprised to see a man and a woman in laboratory coats standing on tree stumps and arguing. The man introduces himself as [[Pierre]] and the woman introduces herself as [[Marie]]. They explain that they are up in the mountains to work on a research paper about the local habitat and the Sudowoodo. The two disagree about Sudowoodo: Pierre agrees with the general scientific consensus that Sudowoodo is a {{type|Rock}}, while Marie doubts that assertion, citing its {{type|Grass}} appearance and reports of the Pokémon using {{type|Fire}} attacks. Pierre seems to rely primarily on printed material, in contrast to Marie, who prefers firsthand research. Ash then gets an idea: he can use {{AP|Noctowl}} to search for the elusive Pokémon.

While Noctowl searches, Marie informs Ash, Misty, and Brock that Sudowoodo can appear similar to many types of {{wp|trees}}, even to the extent of changing colors with the seasons. However, Pierre immediately casts doubt on the likelihood of Sudowoodo being a Grass-type, saying they gather branches to look like trees. Then, Noctowl appears, having seen a Sudowoodo. As Ash and the rest approach the Pokémon, Sudowoodo notices them and flees, using what appears to be {{m|Vine Whip}} to evade {{AP|Chikorita}}. However, Chikorita easily deflects the vine with the leaf on her head, sending Sudowoodo's "Vine Whip" into the hands of Marie, who realizes with disappointment that Sudowoodo had simply been holding a vine. Sudowoodo then uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but the leaves are all dried up, adding to the group's confusion.

Ash has Chikorita Vine Whip Sudowoodo, whereupon it suddenly lashes out with a very real-looking Vine Whip, sending Chikorita flying. Marie suggests that Ash use a different Pokémon to battle Sudowoodo in order to test its attacks again, so Ash recalls Chikorita and sends out {{AP|Totodile}}. Both Sudowoodo and Totodile do a bit of dancing before Ash tells Totodile to {{m|Tackle}} the Pokémon, but Sudowoodo narrowly steps out of the way. It also avoids Totodile's {{m|Water Gun}} by jumping frantically about. Misty observes that Sudowoodo seems to hate the water, suggesting once again that the Pokémon is a Rock-type. Finally, Ash has Totodile attempt to {{m|Bite}} Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo is chased until it suddenly disappears into the ground. Ash wonders if Sudowoodo has just demonstrated {{m|Dig}}, meaning it might be a {{type|Ground}}, but then Sudowoodo comes back up in a net. Team Rocket emerges, disguised in tree costumes, and recites their {{motto}}. Before Ash and the others can act, James orders {{TP|James|Weezing}} to use {{m|Smokescreen}}. When the smoke clears, Team Rocket is gone, along with Sudowoodo.

As Ash and the others search for Team Rocket and their captive, Team Rocket itself is having an argument about Sudowoodo's type. Meowth asks Sudowoodo what type it is, but Sudowoodo avoids giving a straight answer, instead saying that it wants to eat. Jessie gets impatient with the Pokémon, which acts in a similar annoying manner to {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. Finally, they give up and decide to take the Sudowoodo to the fisherman for a ride across the river. The fisherman, suspicious that Team Rocket might be tricking him, points out that the Sudowoodo doesn't look healthy. James, assuming Sudowoodo is a Grass-type, takes out a [[Squirt Bottle|SquirtBottle]] in order to heal the Pokémon. Instead, Sudowoodo cries out in fear and attempts to run away. While Jessie and Meowth hold on tight to the rope around Sudowoodo's middle, James pours some water, but the rope breaks at the last second and Sudowoodo is freed. Team Rocket chases after it, followed by the old fisherman, who is interested in catching it before they do.

Ash and the others are making no progress finding Sudowoodo. Then, {{AP|Pikachu}} spots it standing on a rock holding tree branches, hiding from Team Rocket. Before they can escort Sudowoodo to Marie and Pierre's lab, Sudowoodo runs off once again, determined to be free. Brock gets ahead of Sudowoodo, tackles it, and tries to calm it down, assuring it that he is its friend. Then, Brock tries feeding Sudowoodo his special Pokémon food. This works, as Sudowoodo is soon begging for more food, even willing to go to the lab to receive some.

At the lab, Marie asks Sudowoodo to perform Vine Whip, but Sudowoodo nervously shakes its head, and even more of Brock's food won't convince it to try the attack. Marie suggests that Ash use one of his Pokémon to get Sudowoodo to use Vine Whip. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but Sudowoodo simply absorbs the electricity and beams it back, narrowly missing Pikachu. While Sudowoodo performs a victory dance, Pierre announces that his books list one of Sudowoodo's attacks as {{m|Mimic}}, an attack that imitates other attacks. Marie realizes that this is how Sudowoodo had used unusual attacks: it mimicked Chikorita's Vine Whip and Pikachu's Thunder Shock. To prove that Sudowoodo is indeed a Rock-type, Pierre tries to spray it with water, but Sudowoodo escapes out the window. Soon, it finds itself surrounded by Ash, his friends, Team Rocket, and the old fisherman from the river. Marie, surprised to see the fisherman, reveals that he is her grandfather. Then, the grandfather explains that he had only been looking for a Sudowoodo because Marie wanted to find one.

Determined to get Sudowoodo, Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, while Ash then sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. Before Arbok can Tackle Cyndaquil, Sudowoodo grabs it in midair and {{m|slam}}s it into the ground. When Arbok recovers, Sudowoodo points to the right. Arbok, falling for the trick, doesn't see Sudowoodo's {{m|Faint Attack}} until it is too late. It then {{m|Low Kick}}s the dazed Cobra Pokémon. Jessie recalls Arbok, but remarks that Sudowoodo's sly style would fit perfectly with Team Rocket. She has Wobbuffet face Sudowoodo, but Ash tells Cyndaquil to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Wobbuffet before he can make a move. Sudowoodo, however, stands in front of the Flamethrower and, unharmed, sends it right back at Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil then tries to Tackle Wobbuffet, but Wobbuffet uses {{m|Counter}}, sending Cyndaquil flying. Misty, forming an idea in her head, sends out {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}, then asks Ash to have Cyndaquil distract Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet prepares to Counter Cyndaquil's Flamethrower, but then, Poliwhirl hits him with a Water Gun, blasting Team Rocket off.

Meanwhile, Sudowoodo runs around, trying to avoid the drops of water from Poliwhirl's attacks. It flees once again, but Marie tells the others to let it go, since Sudowoodo is most certainly a Rock-type from its behavior. Pierre comments that he is glad Marie questioned the established position, since if she hadn't, they never would have learned so much about it. Pierre and Marie apologize to each other for their arguing; and then thank Ash, Misty, and Brock for their help.

Later, Ash and his friends cross the river to Ecruteak City on Marie's grandfather's boat. Meanwhile, as Team Rocket is desperately climbing a cliff, James grabs on to what he thinks is a tree branch. However, as he pulls himself up onto the edge of the cliff, James sees that it is a Sudowoodo's arm he has been holding onto. Sudowoodo shakes Team Rocket off, leaving them to plunge down the cliff.

==Episode 1==
[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee 1.png|thumb|250px|Episode 1]]
===Summary===
An Eevee with shaggy fur is walking along a dock, happily, until it realizes that is hungry. It spots a nearby food bowl, full of Pokémon food and a {{p|Houndour}}'s face on side of the bowl. It eats the food, until the Houndour comes across Eevee and gets angry that it is eating its food. Eevee runs off, with Houndour angrily chasing it to a crowd of people. Eevee chooses to hide behind a man who is walking aboard a nearby ship to escape the Houndour.

After getting on the ship, Eevee walks until it comes over to the side of the ship. It uses one of its paws to brush away the bangs that are in front of its eyes, so that it can see more clearly. It looks out at the ocean, with an excited face, before the ship sails to its next destination.

===Summary===
As the ship sails across the ocean, a {{p|Wailord}} jumps out of the water before falling back in.

[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee 3.png|thumb|250px|Episode 3]]
===Summary===
Eevee and Mantine are happily surfing across the ocean. Noticing a wave, Mantine [[Mantine Surf|rides up its side]] and flips over, sending Eevee down into the water, where it happily enjoys the experience. As Mantine resurfaces underneath Eevee, it eagerly asks for more, so they ride up another wave, and as Mantine leaps into the air, it performs a {{DL|Mantine Surf|Moves|Left Roll}}, causing Eevee to fall into the water again. Unperturbed, it asks for another go, and this time, Mantine performs a Right Roll and a Left Roll, with Eevee managing to stay on top of it the whole time. They both are happy for their success and continue on their journey across the sea.

[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee 4.png|thumb|250px|Episode 4]]
===Summary===
As Mantine performs another Mantine Surf, Eevee spots [[Melemele Island|an island]] up ahead and points it out to Mantine. They arrive at a beach and Eevee sniffs the air before Mantine calls out to Eevee, announcing its departure. They embrace before Mantine heads back out to sea. A {{p|Wimpod}} scuttles across the sand and Eevee chases it before Wimpod takes cover inside a hole in a cliff, preventing Eevee from following it. A leaf drops on a disappointed Eevee and it notices a [[Nanab Berry]] tree above it. Eevee climbs up a cliff, approaches the tree, and shakes it, causing several Berries to fall. Although one of the Berries falls straight onto Eevee's head, it quickly ignores the resulting lump and begins eating the delicious Berry.

==Episode 5==
[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee 5.png|thumb|250px|Episode 5]]
===Summary===
As the sun rises to mark the beginning of a new day in [[Alola]], Eevee wakes up in its new home underneath a tree trunk near the shore. After shaking itself awake and eating some {{Berries}} for breakfast, Eevee takes a stroll around the beach, where it comes across a {{p|Pyukumuku}}. Excited to see this new Pokémon, Eevee eagerly examines it, annoying the Pyukumuku to such a degree that it punches Eevee away with its fist-like appendage. To Eevee's luck, it is saved from a harsh landing by being accidentally caught inside one of [[Lana's Popplio]]'s balloons, one of which also catches Pyukumuku and drops it back into the sea. The balloon containing Eevee pops as well, dropping it in front of {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}}' Pokémon. Overjoyed to see so many new friends, Eevee happily {{m|Tackle}}s most of them, but when it hits {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}'s hard shell, it simply bounces back and lands in {{TP|Mallow|Tsareena}}'s arms. As the other Pokémon look at Eevee with mild confusion, it simply smiles happily at its new friends.

[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee 6.png|thumb|250px|Episode 6]]
===Summary===
Eevee and Popplio are swimming together in shallow water. With the other Pokémon cheering it from the shore, Eevee speeds up and rapidly swims towards Popplio, impressing the [[Pokémon category|Sea Lion Pokémon]] with its swimming speed. Next, Eevee plays with some Pokémon on the shore, happily running around, until Eevee accidentally hits one of Tutonator's spikes, triggering {{m|Shell Trap}} and causing a blast that hits the Pokémon in the blast radius. At first, {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} yells at Eevee, but soon, everybody laughs at the situation. Eevee then gathers Berries for everyone to eat. As the sun finally starts setting, Pikachu and the others leave to rejoin their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, leaving Eevee alone on the beach. It returns to its home, feeling down about being left alone again.

==Page split==
So will these all eventually get there own page? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 22:16, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
:Some might depending on what happens in the future. Like Imagination. Most, not likely. That's why they are here. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:30, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

==ImaginationShipping==
I put those notes there because I wanted to discuss them and found that better than starting an edit war. Basically, I have a problem with the first of Bianca's hints. It seems unnecessary since there is no evidence of hints. Bianca takes Ash his badge case as a favor to Professor Juniper, not because of any feelings for Ash, whom she hasn't met yet. Unless stated that Bianca has a habit of falling for guys that she hasn't met yet, it just doesn't belong. Also, you can't really say that she was excited about meeting him since she is always excited about something. Finally, her looking through her bag for Ash's badge case and looking distressed doesn't say much either. This just says that she is unorganized and that the habit bothers and possibly embarasses her. As far as them looking for Minccino I just wanted to point out that some could argue her willingness to help Ash was because she wanted to catch Minccino. I think that all of these are valuable claims, but please let me know your opinion. Again, that's why I added the notes instead of removing them. [[User:Gohan5|Gohan5]] 01:35, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
:You need to understand the Shippers' POV. There are a ton of things that I don't think are really hints for NegaiShipping as well as other shippings. Like Iris "marveling" on how Ash saved Tepig. She seemed like she was just concerned for Tepig. But I understand that it can look very different to a NegaiShipper so I leave it there to stay.
:I'm not really into ImagintationShipping myself. I am just trying to convey what a Shipper might see. I don't think it is that unreasonable to say that Bianca may have been a tad excited to meet Ash. What about when Iris started following Ash? Do you think that it was definitely because she likes him that way? I highly doubt it but it's listed there anyway. Because it's an understandable view for NegaiShippers to have. The reality is that Iris probably was just interested in Ash's training methods and probably wanted to have a traveling companion, though she would not admit it.
:Also, when Ash loses his badge case, Bianca flat out says "You just leave it to me and I'll get your case back in no time!" She didn't even mention Minccino. Though it is most likely what she wanted. But ImaginationShippers would probably see it that way. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:36, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
::I understand what you are saying about shippers POV and admit that I may not have taken that into account. Having said that, I think that the part about Bianca being excited to meet him and looking at his badge is alright, but the other info I still think is extraneous. Her looking through her bag for the badge case is unnecessary. As for Minccino I only wanted to make a note of her interest in the Pokémon. I didn't think it was a problem since it was hidden. It is not unlike how NegaiShipping used to have a hint about Iris leaning in close to Ash when he is talking about Zekrom. ArcToraphim added a note about Iris's interest in Zekrom and the hint was removed by someone sometime later. This is essentially the same thing. As far as for NegaiShipping and Iris "marveling" over Ash saving Tepig, I have wanted to reword that for some time now. It is notable to shippers because of Ash and Iris's rocky start and teasing relationship. This marks what could be a change in the way she looked at Ash. She is most likely surprised at Ash showing a sensitive side to Tepig. Sorry, went off topic there for a bit. Ultimately, Imagination is hard to put evidence for, because of Bianca's excitable personality. Everytime she talks to Ash could seem like evidence to a shipper. Just something to think about and I appreciate your input. [[User:Gohan5|Gohan5]] 04:20, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Just so you know, if you have any information for them you'd like to compile you are welcome to add them yourself. As for me... I'll try to look into them. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:32, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Are we going to note PiplupxMeloette and OshawottxMeloetta? What would we call them? I also think DawnxIris, PiplupxOshawott and BurgundyxGeorgia should be named and documented.

I'd also like to ask your permission to make a page for LethalAtractionShipping? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 14:23, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
:You'd need my permission to make a LethalAttraction article; as I tell everyone, make your article a userpage first and we'll see how the article cleans up. The 'ships you also mention are called JacobBlackshipping, EdwardCullenshipping, Annemaeshipping (which KG has), Kodomoshipping, and SourGrapesshipping respectively.

==Ash x Alexis XY==
I there a name for a Ash x Alexis (from XY) shipping? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 21:20, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

==A Reality Check==
This has gone far enough. This list has become merely "Anime characters with vague similarities" rather than "Anime characters who have arguably expressed feelings for each other". For sanity, I remind everyone in Project Shipping of your goals:

:''Write comprehensive and upstanding articles on Ships.
:''This means they are to be '''substantial''', well written (even if they are short articles), and '''with substance'''.
:''All given hints/evidence/facts should also be '''meaningful''' and not tossed in there because it made the Shipper in you go squee.

Many shippings have no Evidence or Hints section at all. Even the slightest bit of interaction between two characters lands them a spot on this list… It's honestly become a drain when a new ship is posted. How is it "meaningful" that two Trainers have the [[Shipping:List of anime shippings#TensionShipping|same type of Pokémon]], or have [[Shipping:List of anime shippings#MustardShipping|lost to the same main character]]? Use some critical thinking and remove the ships that have no actual basis outside of a shipper's heavily tinted lens. No, not just anything two people (or Pokémon, or a person and a Pokémon, or an adult and a minor) do can be construed as romantic in nature. Don't be silly, fix your article, and enforce your own rules for once. —[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 08:31, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

The most recent influx of "evidence" just proves my point further. Dawn's praise for Ambipom indicates she wants a romantic relationship with the Pokémon? Piplup acting like his normal haughty self means he wants a relationship with Oshawott? Scraggy likes Axew because he doesn't want his friend to leave? And [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Shipping:List_of_anime_shippings&diff=next&oldid=2165139 this one…] it has ''nothing'' to do with Iris liking her Emolga! At all! Do you see what I mean? These shippers have lost all sense of reality. Heck, I bet one of them has shipped me with themselves because I'm interacting with them in some way, so ''obviously'' I want a relationship with them (regardless of whether they're legal or human). If anyone can add any random, irrelevant piece of info to this list, then I can remove it just as easily. At this point, the official Bulbapedia guidelines side with my opinion, not that of this list's contributors. I'm considering taking immediate action to ensure this list complies with the guidelines you shippers should have been following in the first place. —[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 04:06, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

== AnnemaeShipping ==

Could it be possible to give AnnemaeShipping (Dawn & Iris)a page of it's own, considering their meeting in Best Wishes and a fairly decent amount of evidence supporting it, considering we did do it for SapphirePearlShipping (May & Dawn), Thanks [[User:Waterninja12345|Waterninja12345]] ([[User talk:Waterninja12345|talk]]) 15:41, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

== Translation on a ship ==

FleuredeGrenadeShipping, better known as the pairing of Grant and Viola has a literal translation. Although I no longer speak French, I understand it and checked Google Translate to confirm the translation. It ''literally'' translates as "grenade flower", something that doesn't make much sense. A ship name that ''would'' make sense would (yes, I researched this) have to be AltoGrandShipping because of '''viola's''' French meaning, as well as Grant's name. The only other name that would make sense is an Italian name: RacciaAltaShipping. That's all I have to say for the aforementioned ship. I know that there's not much evidence behind these, but I would like to throw them out there.
1. NinjaChildShipping: Ash and Janine. Although it'd be a nevermet ship (yes, I know Janine hasn't appeared in the anime), it would (more or less) be the result of NinjaFlowerShipping, which is Delia and Koga.
2. PearlCloneShipping: Ritchie and Dawn. Okay, we know the case of Ritchie and May. Dawn, like Ritchie, has at least one Electric-type, and one Flying-type. ''Pearl'' from Dawn's series and Clone from the thought that Ritchie is a clone of Ash.
3. NegaiCloneShipping: Ritchie and Iris. Not much evidence, unless you count Dragonite, which is a Kanto native, where Ritchie is from.
4. CloneAmourShipping or AmourCloneShipping: Ritchie and Serena (XY). Both own their respective region's starters.
5. MegaExcitementShipping: Ash and Diantha; like I said, not much evidence, but we know how excitable Ash is and Diantha doesn't seem to mind. As far as champions go, unless Drake and Iris are counted, she is the first champion to have battled Ash. {{unsigned|WATERWARRIOR67}}

==Possible Ship==

I've never edited a page before, and I'm not really sure how to make it work, but I still want to contribute the idea of the ship of Lillie and Mallow, as they seem to be a ship that has begun forming. [[User:AgenderSudokuNerd|AgenderSudokuNerd]] ([[User talk:AgenderSudokuNerd|talk]]) 22:10, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

==Serena x James in XY085==

I saw that in [[XY085|Mending a Broken Spirit!]], [[James]] and {{an|Serena}} had some moments that could be a candidate for a ship. Do you think we should put it on this list? If so, I think it should be called RocketAmourShipping. [[User:Vanvan529|Vanvan]][[User talk:Vanvan529|529]] 18:53, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

== Criteria for this list ==

What is the criteria for including ships on this list if they already have their own page on Bulbapedia? I had previously assumed that any ship notable enough to have its own page would also be notable enough to include in this list. But I found a LOT (I counted 27) of anime ships that have their own page and yet are not mentioned on this list. If they can't be included on this page for some reason, can they be included on a subpage or something so that people can easily find them? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 07:22, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

:Note that there are tags at the top of the article, one of which says, "This article is incomplete." So, nothing's stopping you from including those shippings as far as I'm concerned. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:45, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

::Okay, added! Well, I have added 25 of the 27 I mentioned to this page. The other 2 are from Legend of Thunder and I was not sure if those belong here or on [[Shipping:List of movie shippings]]. For now I have put them on the movie page, as there was already a reference to Mewtwo Returns from that page, and LoT is a similar situation. Also, in [[The Legend of Thunder!|the article for LoT]] it describes itself as a movie. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 13:59, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

== Poor Mallow ==

Is there a reason we don't have any Mallow ships on this page? Actually Ash x Mallow and Mallow x Lillie are both quite popular in the fandom. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 07:23, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

:I don't think investment in the shipping part of this website is particularly high right now. You can include those if you wish, as long as there are substantial hints to be found in the anime itself. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:46, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

::There are plenty of hints in the anime itself - for example, some other wikis already have lists (see e.g. [https://pokeship.fandom.com/wiki/Alohashipping AlohaShipping] (Ash x Mallow) and [https://shipping.fandom.com/wiki/JellowShipping JellowShipping] (Mallow x Lillie)). Not sure when I will have time to write the Bulbapedia articles for these two ships; I will try to do it at some point, but anyone else is welcome to help out also :) [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 17:18, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Is there a reason we don't have any Mallow ships on this page? Actually Ash x Mallow and Mallow x Lillie are both quite popular in the fandom. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 07:23, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

:I don't think investment in the shipping part of this website is particularly high right now. You can include those if you wish, as long as there are substantial hints to be found in the anime itself. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:46, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

::There are plenty of hints in the anime itself, which are listed on other wikis (see e.g. [https://pokeship.fandom.com/wiki/Alohashipping AlohaShipping] (Ash x Mallow) and [https://shipping.fandom.com/wiki/JellowShipping JellowShipping] (Mallow x Lillie)). To what extent are we allowed to simply copy content from these other wikis into Bulbapedia (with changes only to fit in with style)? Do we have to re-word everything into our own words?

{{incomplete}}
'''Anime Ships''' are a popular kind of [[shipping]] in the [[Pokémon]] [[Fanon|fanbase]].

===List of main character ships===
A list of ships involving two main characters who have met.

====AdvanceShipping====
{{main|Shipping:AdvanceShipping}} - {{Ash}} and {{an|May}}

====AlfShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|{{Ash}}|[[Max]]|jap=サトマサ|rom=SatoMasa|
'''Evidence'''
:*Throughout their time together, Max has always shown great admiration for Ash. But he has also took pleasure out of taunting him for not knowing something.

:*''[[AG003|There's No Place Like Hoenn]]''
::Max was extremely excited to meet Ash, whom he recognized from watching the [[Silver Conference]] on television.

:*''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is!]]''
::Max is so upset by Ash leaving that he runs off by himself. When Ash finds him, he reassures him that they will always be friends and promises to battle him someday after he becomes a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. This makes Max happy leading him to accept the separation.

'''Name origins'''
:*''Alf'' comes from Max incorrectly referring to Ash by this name when they first met.}}
 

====AmourShipping====
{{main|Shipping:AmourShipping}} - {{Ash}} and {{an|Serena}}

====AnnemaeShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|{{an|Iris}}|{{an|Dawn}}|jap=アイヒカ|rom=AiHika|



'''Similarities'''
:*Both own a male [[walking Pokémon]] that has not evolved yet and can evolve twice.
:*Both own an {{type|Electric}}, squirrel-like Pokémon that had a habit of shocking them and their friends with ''{{m|Discharge}}'', but eventually gained control and stopped shocking them.
:*Both own an evolved dual {{type|Ground}} that used to disobey them.
:*Both have taken extra measures to cheer for Ash during a Gym battle. Dawn dressed up like a cheerleader for some of Ash's Gym battles while Iris played a drum during his battle with [[Roxie]].
:*They are Ash's only female friends that have not worn a [[Nurse Joy]] outfit ({{an|Misty}} wore one in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'', {{an|May}} in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', {{an|Serena}} and {{an|Bonnie}} in ''[[XY084|Adventures in Running Errands!]]'' and {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Mallow}} in ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]'').

'''Name origins'''
:*''Annemae'' is derived from the assumption that the name ''Annemae'' roughly means "rebellious pearl", but a closer breakdown puts it more at "favored pearl".

'''Evidence'''
:*''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
:: Max is thoroughly impressed by Tracey's artistic skills and refers to him as ''sir''. Tracey thanks him and says he could just call him by his first name. Max then imagines drawing Pokémon like he does. A bit later, Max asks Tracey if he could return the {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} that {{an|Professor Oak}} is giving to starting {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to their {{i|Poké Ball}}s which Tracey lets him do.

'''Similarities'''

====GundamSeiyuuShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|[[James]]|{{an|Cilan}}|jap=コジデン|rom=KojiDen|

'''Evidence'''
:*''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]''
::A group of {{p|Litwick}} and their {{p|Lampent}} leader open a mysterious vortex that nearly sucks in James, [[Jessie]], and {{MTR}}. Cilan is nearly sucked in as well after being hit by a {{m|Shadow Ball}} that knocks him off of his feet. He would have been sucked in completely but he is saved by James who grabs his arm. Earlier, James's life force had been drained by the Litwick who were accompanying him and his friends. Despite that and his feelings towards {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, James decides to put his own safety aside and use what strength he has left to rescue Cilan. Some might argue, however, that he only rescued him as a return favor for Ash saving Jessie from the same fate. Others note that James chose to help who he may consider an enemy but did not attempt to try and save his friends before hand.

'''Alternate names'''
:*GundamShipping

'''Name origins'''
:*''GundamSeiyuu'' refers to James and Cilan's voice actors, [[Shin'ichirō Miki]] and [[Mamoru Miyano]], respectively, who both voiced characters in the {{wp|Gundam}} anime franchise.

====SapphirePearlShipping====
{{main|Shipping:SapphirePearlShipping}} - {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}

====SavantShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|{{an|Cilan}}|{{an|Dawn}}|jap=デンヒカ|rom=DenHika|

'''Evidence'''
* ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times]]''
: Dawn decided to let Cilan battle her first, much to the disappointment of Ash.
: During his battle with Dawn, Cilan complimented her on her moves as well as her strong bond with Piplup.

'''Similarities'''
* Both have or have had fear of a certain Pokémon. Dawn was afraid of {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} while Cilan is afraid of {{p|Purrloin}}. They also had to battle these Pokémon at some point.
* Dawn is the first of Ash's female friends to obtain an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon while Cilan is the first male.
* Both admire a Professor: Dawn admires {{an|Professor Oak}}, whereas Cilan admires [[Professor Icarus]].

'''Differences'''
* Dawn overcame her fear of Plusle and Minun, whereas Cilan has not yet overcome his fear of Purrloin.
* Pachirisu is a pure Electric type, while Stunfisk is a dual Electric/Ground type.
* Cilan actually worked alongside a Purrloin in the episode ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness]]''.

====ThirdWheelShipping====
{{main|Shipping:ThirdWheelShipping}} - {{an|Brock}} and {{Tracey}}

This is a list of shippings involving supporting characters.

====AbilityShipping====
{{main|Shipping:AbilityShipping}} - {{Ash}} and [[Salon Maiden Anabel]]

====AdmirationShipping====
{{main|Shipping:AdmirationShipping}} - [[Drew]] and [[Brianna]]

====AgainstShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|[[Paul]]|[[Zoey]]|jap=シンノゾ|rom=ShinNozo|

'''Evidence'''
:*Normally, Zoey is rather composed when faced with someone who puts down her friends, but with Paul she became more flustered than she usually would. {{an|Dawn}} is seen having to physically restrain her. Many would say that this would disprove the ship, but fans see it as Zoey becoming more emotional about what Paul thinks as compared to other people.

'''Similarities'''
:*Both were the main rivals of the main protagonists during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.
:*Both own a {{p|Gastrodon}}.
:*Both share their hometown with a [[Gym Leader]]. Paul is from [[Veilstone City]] where [[Maylene]] leads the [[Veilstone Gym]], and Zoey is from [[Snowpoint City]] where [[Candice]] leads the [[Snowpoint Gym]]

'''Trivia'''
:*Paul and Zoey have a few Pokémon that are considered counterparts of each other:
:**Paul owns a {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} while Zoey owns a [[Zoey#Mismagius|Mismagius]]. Both evolved from [[Generation II]] Pokémon with the [[Dusk Stone]] and became a [[Generation IV]] Pokémon. They are also exclusive to some games.
:**Paul owns a [[Paul#Froslass|Froslass]] and Zoey owns a [[Zoey#Gallade|Gallade]]. Both species evolve from a [[Generation III]] Pokémon with the [[Dawn Stone]] as a part of a branched evolution.
:**Paul owns an [[Paul#Gastrodon|East Sea Gastrodon]] and Zoey owns a [[Zoey's Gastrodon|West Sea Gastrodon]].

'''Name origins'''
:*''Against'' comes from Paul and Zoey's nature as rivals: both are essentially against {{Ash}} and Dawn respectively, despite the bonds (or lack thereof) they have with each other.
}}
 

====AmorousShipping====
{{main|Shipping:AmorousShipping}} - {{an|Brock}} and [[Temacu]]

====AppealShipping====
{{main|Shipping:AppealShipping}} - {{an|Dawn}} and [[Zoey]]

====BadTasteShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|{{Ash}}|[[Burgundy]]|jap=サトカベ|rom=SatoCabe|

'''Evidence'''
:*''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]''
::Despite there being a long line of people waiting, Burgundy specifically calls on Ash to visit her shop. She also puts her hands on his shoulders several different times.
:*''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]''
::Burgundy appears concerned when [[Ash's Scraggy]]'s {{m|Hi Jump Kick}} misses {{p|Simisage}} during the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament, enough to declare it a "bad taste".

'''Similarities'''
:* Both own or have owned an {{p|Oshawott}}.
:* Both battled more than one of the [[Gym leader]]s at the [[Striaton Gym]]. In addition, they both used their Oshawott to battle {{an|Cilan}}.

====BalanceShipping====
{{main|Shipping:BalanceShipping}} - [[Norman]] and [[Caroline]]

{{main|Shipping:BetelgeuseShipping}} - [[Cyrus]] and [[Mars]]

====BreederShipping====
{{main|Shipping:BreederShipping}} - {{an|Brock}} and [[Suzie]]

====BugShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|[[Forrest Franklin]]|{{an|May}}|jap=|rom=|'''Information'''
: Their entire interaction takes place during the episode ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]''.

'''Hints''' 
''May's''
:*When Forrest tells May that she's "independent" and "self-sufficient", she begins to blush.

''Forrest's''
:*Forrest comes to May's rescue when she is being double teamed by [[Team Rocket]].
:*When May says that she's trying to capture a {{p|Wurmple}}, Forrest offers to help her. He also gives her advice on how to catch one and what attacks it knows.
:*While May and Forrest are scaling a cliff, a rock breaks under May's foot and she almost falls. Forrest catches her by putting his hand around her waist.
:*Forrest told May that she was "independent" and "self-sufficient".
:*Forrest considered traveling with May. He stated that he always wanted to travel, but was afraid to. He ended up not going with her, but he still overcame his fear of traveling thanks to May.
:*When Team Rocket steals May's newly caught {{TP|May|Wurmple|Beautifly}}, he sends his {{p|Heracross}} to stop them.

'''Name origins'''
:*''Bug'' is derived from Forrest helping May catch her Wurmple, as well as after Forrest's own Heracross.

'''Trivia'''
:* Forrest was May's first [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] partner.
:* May brings a [[Pecha Berry]] to Forrest to snack on. Fans of the Ship note that the Pecha is in the shape of a heart.

'''Hints''' 

''Johanna's''
:* Johanna seemed disappointed when Lila lost against Dawn in the final round.

''Other hints''
:*At the beginning of the episode, it shows a flash-back in which Johanna and Lila shake hands, smiling at one another. Another flash-back also shows Lila and Johanna eating lunch together and discussing strategies, showing their close friendship/rivalry.
:*When Dawn later enters the room, Lila and Johanna are smiling and laughing through the screen.

'''Name origins'''
:*''ContestCat'' is derived from both of them participating in Contests with feline-based Pokémon: {{p|Delcatty}} and {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}}.
}}
 

====DanceShipping====
{{main|Shipping:DanceShipping}} - {{an|Misty}} and [[Rudy]]

====DiamondDragonShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|[[Stephan]]|{{an|Iris}}|jap=ケニアイ|rom=KeniAi|

'''Evidence'''
:*''[[BW041|The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk!]]''
::After Iris defeats Stephan in the second round, he asks her to do her best in the semi-finals for him.
::When Stephan asks Iris "Hey, does your Emolga know any Flying Type moves?" Iris gives an uneasy reaction and Stephan becomes overconfident stating there was no way Iris could beat him.
::When Stephan becomes overexcited for his battle with Iris and jumps out onto the battle field Iris runs after him shouting, "WAIT WE HAVEN'T BEEN CALLED YET! IT'S TOO EARLY!"

'''Similarities'''
:*Both have won a [[Battle Club]]-related tournament; Iris won the [[Club Battle]] while Stephan won the [[Clubsplosion]]. Also, they placed top 8 in each others winning tournament.
*Both of them seemed to get annoyed with Ash a lot during the series; Iris for Ash's immaturity, and Stephan for Ash always pronouncing his name wrong, and although everyone either pronounced his name wrong or called him a completely different name, he seemed the most annoyed when it happened with Ash.

====EgoShipping====
{{main|Shipping:EgoShipping}} - {{Gary}} and {{an|Misty}}

====ElderShipping====
{{main|Shipping:ElderShipping}} - {{an|Professor Oak}} and {{Delia}}

====FireShipping====
{{main|Shipping:FireShipping}} - {{Ash}} and [[Macy]]

====FireredShipping====
{{main|Shipping:FireredShipping}} - {{Ash}} and [[Zoey]]

====FireworksShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|[[Norman]]|[[Nurse Joy]]|jap=センジョイ|rom=SenJoi|'''Information'''
:During the events of ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', [[Caroline]] believed Norman was having an affair with [[Petalburg City]]'s resident [[Nurse Joy]], around the time of Caroline and Norman's anniversary. It turned out to be a big misunderstanding in the end.

'''Hints'''
:*Norman spent a lot of time with Nurse Joy, as she was helping him put together a surprise for his wife. However, the secretive nature that they went about gave Caroline the wrong impression in the first place, believing they were, in fact, having illicit relations. The fact she suspected it validated this pairing's possibility.

'''Name origins'''
:*''Fireworks'' is derived from the very display Norman and Nurse Joy were cooking up for him and Caroline.

'''Trivia'''
:* The validity of this premise was suspected in canon and then later disproved in the same episode.
}}
 

====FlavescentShipping====
{{main|Shipping:FlavescentShipping}} - [[Trip]] and {{an|Iris}}

====GaiaShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|[[Gardenia]]|[[Cheryl]]|jap=NataMomi or MomiNata|rom=ナタモミ or モミナタ|'''Information'''
: This is one of the few ships involving [[Gym Leader]]s that is comprised of minor characters (who aren't {{cat|Gym assistants}}) and isn't a ''nevermetshipping''. Their entire interaction takes place during the episode ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''.

'''Hints''' 
''Gardenia's''
:* Gardenia expresses genuine interest in Cheryl's "mission" to find the enchanted [[honey]], and offers her services to help without any invite. She also uses the article 'we' instead of 'you', cementing herself to Cheryl's cause, never mind all the helpful advice that give the group a destination to head for. She even admits to wanting to help, using her impulsive request for {{Ash}} to battle her as an example, when Cheryl says she doesn't want to be a bother to Gardenia.
:* Gardenia is still bespelled by [[James]]'s Pokémon when Cheryl mentions her Mothim, temporarily confusing her into assuming James had one too. She reacts to the confusion the same way she does Grass-types (infatuation), despite {{p|Mothim}} being {{2t|Bug|Flying}}.
:* She also admits to being happy to help ''treasure hunters'', after rescuing Mothim, making it sound like those are the kind of people she likes compared to many other types of people.

''Cheryl's''
:* Upon meeting Gardenia and Ash challenging her to a {{pkmn|battle}}, Cheryl is nonplussed by the idea when {{an|Dawn}} reminds Ash they were already on a task: to help Cheryl. In fact, Cheryl even says it "might be fun" and wishes them to have a nice time.
:* Cheryl spends her shot during Ash's introduction to Gardenia looking in Gardenia's direction. There's also no reason for her to be standing there, as she says nothing (Brock and Dawn weren't in the shot, and the situation wasn't anything special). She also only comments on [[Gardenia's Turtwig]] during the battle, and spends the rest of her time on the sidelines appearing engrossed in the action, saying nothing of Ash at all.
::*She falls back on a quote her grandfather said later that evening in regards to Gardenia volunteering to help her out: "Witness a good Pokémon battle and something good always happens." She is likely implying that the "something good" that occurred is likely Gardenia herself joining them.
:* After the battle, Cheryl personally introduces herself and tells Gardenia she was impressed with her battling, while only telling Ash she was sorry he lost.
:* {{TP|Cheryl|Mothim}} takes an instant liking to Gardenia after a compliment, perhaps reflecting Cheryl's own feelings, as she doesn't sound overly worried or chiding when she tells him not to get "too close to strangers." Given Cheryl's docile personality, it might indicate she's already comfortable with Gardenia and not simply being flighty.
:* She voices self-doubt and concern of being a "bother" when Gardenia volunteers to show the group the way to the {{p|Combee}} wall; this is something she didn't do when Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} volunteer to help her with her {{TP|Cheryl|Burmy}}, another just-as-daunting task, or when they joined her quest to find the Amber Castle themselves the [[DP030|the episode before]].
:* Cheryl expresses gratitude for Gardenia's supposed attempt at personally protecting her Mothim from {{TP|James|Carnivine}}.
:* Cheryl cries out, "Gardenia!" immediately after Mothim is freed from [[Team Rocket]]'s robotic arm, even when Gardenia wasn't the one placed in harm's way. She then personally, much like her introduction, thanks Gardenia for saving Mothim.

'''Name origins'''
:*''Gaia'' is derived from their association with nature and Mother Earth, Gardenia being a {{type|Grass}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and Cheryl with her overall arboreal clothing scheme and gentle personality.

'''Trivia'''
:* Both can also be found in [[Eterna Forest]] during various parts of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} gameplay, and it is where they meet in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

====GoggleShipping====
{{main|Shipping:GoggleShipping}} - {{Ash}} and [[Giselle]]

====GrassShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|[[James]]|[[Gardenia]]|jap=|rom=|'''Information'''

'''Hints''' 
''Gardenia's'' 
:''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''
:*Gardenia spends a lot of time fawning over {{TP|James|Carnivine}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. She never spent anytime fawning over [[Ash's Turtwig]]. She also doesn't believe James is evil, claiming Grass-type Trainers cannot be evil.

''James's'' 
:''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]''
:*He battles alongside her. When she offers to train Cacnea, he's a lot nicer to her. He agrees to let her train Cacnea, despite his devoted attachment, and trusts her to train it well.


'''Name origins'''
:*''Grass'' is derived from both being seemingly Grass-type predominant when it came to their Pokémon partners.

'''Similarities'''
:*Both own an [[Eeveelution]] from [[Generation IV]]. Zoey has a [[Zoey#Leafeon|Leafeon]] and May has a {{TP|May|Glaceon}}.
:*Both own a {{type|Normal}} cat-like Pokémon with a two-stage evolutionary line. Zoey has {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and May has {{TP|May|Skitty}}.

====IndigoShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|[[Ritchie]]|{{an|Misty}}|jap=|rom=HiroKasu|'''Information'''
:When they met, Ritchie and Misty actually get along well and they both like and respect each other. Since Ritchie is often seen as a clone of {{Ash}}, some people see this couple as another kind of {{s|Poké}}, with less arguing.

'''Hints''' 
:''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''
:*When [[Team Rocket]] calls on Ash's hotel phone, disguised with Ritchie's voice, Misty answers. [[Jessie]] insults her calling her a "big mouth". Misty, who thought it was Ritchie, becomes really mad. When she hands over the phone to Ash she, notably, calls "Ritchie" ''Prince Charming'' instead of calling him something insulting, although this is probably nothing more than sarcasm. Ash asks who it is, but instead of answering she says angrily, "I ''knew'' that kid was too good to be true!" This could point out that Misty felt something for Ritchie, however it's more likely that she thought he was nice.

'''Name origins'''
:*''Indigo'' is derived from them having met at the [[Indigo League]].

'''Evidence'''
:*Due to their experience levels, the two are often sparring partners with one another. However, Axew is considerably more experienced than Scraggy is.

:*''[[BW017|Scraggy - Hatched To Be Wild!]]''

::Axew was pained to see Scraggy being mercilessly kicked by [[Angus]]'s {{p|Simisage}} during the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament to the point where he had to put his hands over his eyes. However, he was very proud that Scraggy learned {{m|Focus Blast}} shortly after.

:*''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]''
::Scraggy was the first to notice that Axew was missing after it was taken by a couple of {{p|Durant}}. Aside from Iris, he was clearly the most upset about Axew being missing. After they had found Axew, Scraggy gave him a light scolding for worrying him so much.

::Scraggy woke up the next morning before anyone else did and he set out to find Iris and Axew.

::Later on when Emolga is surrounded by a group of wild {{p|Swoobat}}, Oshawott lets himself out of his Poké Ball in order to protect her. He was hit by a Swoobat's {{m|Charge Beam}} forcing Ash to recall him to his Poké Ball.

:*''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]''
::When Emolga wanders off on her own while the others are sleeping, Oshawott and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} follow after her. When they find her she lies to them in order to get some apples by telling them that she was ambushed by a group of wild {{p|Watchog}}. Angered, Oshawott fights valiantly in order to protect her and retrieves an apple for himself, Emolga, and Axew. Oshawott continues to protect Emolga even standing up to an enraged {{p|Simisear}}. However, he was easily defeated by the angry Pokémon.

:*''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]''
:: At the Pokémon center, Oshawott continued to flirt with Emolga, much to her dicomfort.

'''Emolga's hints'''
:*''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''
::When Emolga discovered Oshawott fawning over {{an|Meloetta}}, her reaction seemed uneasy and she looked at him with confusion, although the reason could've been due to the fact she was away getting an Oran Berry for Meloetta, and therefore, didn't realize what was going on. When flying down to them, she crashed into Oshawott and the two squabbled very imaturly.
:: After Meloetta felt better she sang a song that calmed down the fight, and Emolga looked at Oshawott and smiled.

'''Trivia'''
:*Oshawott and Emolga are both part of the {{egg3|Field}}, they have different genders and therefore can breed.

'''Name origins'''
:*''LethalAttraction'' comes from the fact that Oshawott usually ends up getting hurt while trying to protect Emolga. It also could be from the fact that {{type|Water}}s are weak against {{t|Electric}} attacks.

::Pikachu and Piplup spent nearly the whole episode hugging each other with hearts in their eyes.

:*''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''
::Piplup becomes emotional knowing that the group is going to go their separate ways. He was hoping that Dawn would go with Ash and {{an|Brock}} to [[Kanto]] so that he could stay with Pikachu. When she decides she's going to stay in [[Sinnoh]], Piplup runs off into the forest alone. Fans also note that even though Pikachu is {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s object of affection, she did not appear upset at all over the news of Pikachu leaving unlike Piplup. Pikachu becomes concerned and runs off too to look for him. When he finds Piplup, he latches on to him and starts crying. This causes Pikachu to also start crying.

{{shipping|color=light|{{an|Iris}}|{{TP|Iris|Emolga}}|jap=|rom=|

'''Evidence'''

:*''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible]]''
::When Emolga saw Iris she got really excited due to the large plate of apples Iris was holding.
::Iris thanked Emolga for being so generous and gave her the giant plate of apples which made Emolga feel overjoyed.
::Iris and Emolga (and Axew) got lost in the forest together when Emolga was trying to escape from [[Bianca]].
::At the end of the episode Emolga could be seen sitting in a tree and when she heard Iris her ears perked up.
::Immediately afterwards, Emolga flew down to the group and landed in Iris' arms snuggling up to her.
::Iris let Emolga join her team.

:*''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch]]''
::The first time Emolga used {{m|Volt Switch}} to escape from Mincino when he was using {{m|Tickle}}, Iris laughed along with Bianca and said it was hilarious that Emolga's Volt Switch caused {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to come out into the battle.
::She then stated that she shouldn't laugh and said politely, "Emolga, what's the use of battling if you're just gonna use Volt Switch? Since we're doing this for practice, I hope you'll listen to what I ask you to do."
::When Emolga began crying Iris felt guilty and did what she could to cheer Emolga up.
::The second time Emolga used Volt Switch Iris said in a calm voice "Emolga, I told you not to use Volt Switch, now didn't I."
::The third time Emolga used Volt Switch Iris found her lying down in a tree and yelled, "Ash and Snivy are battling instead of us because you used Volt Switch, and now we're not getting any practice!"
::After Snivy pulled Emolga out of the tree Iris demanded, "Emolga, you're going to battle this time, get it?"
::Emolga tried once again to use her cuteness to get Iris to let her off the hook.
::Iris scolded her "And acting cute won't work!"
::Emolga became furious and shocked everyone (except for Snivy who had jumped out of the way) with {{m|Discharge}}.
::When the gang was having lunch and a fight broke out between Oshawott, Tepig, Scarggy, and Swadloon because they didn't realize who took their apples, everyone tried to figure out what happened, and Snivy held up Emolga who was rubbing her tummy, and Cilan concluded Emolga had to have been the one who took the apples, but Iris defended Emolga by saying "Emolga wouldn't do an awful thing like that!"

:*''[[BW036|Archeops In the Modern World]]''
::Iris sent out Emolga to help Archen learn how to fly.
::Right away Emolga used [[Attract]] on Archen, which failed, revealing Archen to be a female and Emolga used Volt Switch and went to nap in a tree causing Iris to yell at her.

:*''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia]]''
::Iris used Emolga in battle and they won their battle against Jimmy Ray and his Watchog.

:*''[[BW041|The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk]]''
::Before starting her battle with Stephan, Iris kindly stated "Emolga, please remember that when you use Volt Switch you can't switch with someone else." Emolga looked at Iris with confusion and Iris said cheerfully "Trust me this battle's gonna be lots of fun!" Emolga cheerfully agreed with Iris.
::When [[Attract]] didn't work on [[Stephan's Sawk]] Emolga and Iris were both confused, and Emolga was also quite annoyed by this.
::When Stephan asked Iris "Does your Emolga know how to use any Flying type Moves?" Iris flinched in response obviously panicked due the fact Emolga doesn't know any Flying type Moves.
::Iris and Emolga both cheered excitedly after they defeated Stephan.

:*''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige]]''
::Iris became worried about Emolga when she flew away after getting hit with [[Ash's Oshawott]]'s [[Hydro Pump]]
::When the gang found Emolga, Iris ran up to her and worriedly asked if she was alright and said "Poor Emolga."

::When the Iris and the gang were looking for Moria and the other girls, Emolga was riding on Iris' head.
::Iris cheered Emolga on as she fought against Mona's Lilligant.
::Iris and Emolga both laughed when Cher and her Roserade got covered in mud after losing to them in battle.

:*''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit]]''
::Iris scolded Emolga when she shocked ''{{AP|Oshawott}}'' with [[Discharge]] after he caused her to spill her food.
::After that, Emolga went off on her own to eat since she was angry. ''{{AP|Scraggy}}'' came by and attempted to talk to Emolga, but she turned away, making him angry. Scraggy then attempted to use ''{{m|Headbutt}}'' on Emolga, but she dodged, and she noticed she had spilled her food once again. She became furious and shocked Scraggy with Discharge, and once again Iris scolded her, but Emolga turned away from Iris.
::Iris thought Emolga was the one who shocked Axew with Discharge and demanded her to apologize.
::Emolga got upset and flew away crying when Iris wouldn't listen to her as she tried to explain she didn't do anything to Axew.
::After realizing what happened with Axew, Iris apologized to Emolga and the two made up.
::Iris became worried when Emolga (and Axew) got trapped inside a box with an aggressive Exploud.
::After Team Rocket was sent blasting off, Iris apologized to Emolga again.

::Meloetta also became excited when Ash and Krookodile defeated Iris and [[Iris' Dragonite]].

:*''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]''
::At the beginning of the episode Carnivine (and ''{{TP|James| Mime Jr.}}'') were both shown to be completely devastated because of the event that had happened [[DP054|the previous episode]], showing that Carnivine (and Mime Jr.) either felt close to Cacnea like James had, or they felt sorry for James and were sad because he was sad.

James' hints
:*''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]''
::When James saw Carnivine's Poké Ball mixed in with his bottle cap collection, he became overjoyed and called Carnivine out.
::He didn't care that Carnivine was hurting him, in fact he was actually laughing.
:*''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]''
::James didn't even try to get Carnivine off when it was on his head, although this was because of his devastation about [[DP054|what had happened]] with {{TP|James|Cacnea}}.

}}
 

====SpoilShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|{{an|Jessie}}|{{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}|jap=|rom=|

'''Evidence'''
:*Whenever Jessie called Dustox from her Pokè Ball to help out, she'd call her either "dear Dustox" or "Dustox dear".
:*''[[AG028|Seeing Is Believing]]''
::At first after Dustox evolved, Jessie was disappointed because she thought she was going to have a Beautifly, but she immediately fell in love with her new Pokèmon and began gushing over her, even gloating to May saying Dustox was far better than May's new Beautifly.
::During the blast off, Jessie was hugging Dustox the entire time.

:*''[[DP061|Team Shocker]]''
::After winning the Solaceon Contest she hugged Dustox and said, "Dear Dustox, we won!"

::While practicing for the next Contest with Jessie, Dustox is seen wearing the same yellow ribbons Jessie wears while disguised as "Jessilina"
::Dustox laughed the same way Jessie had while the two practiced.
::Jessie could tell Dustox was in love with Austin's Shiny Dustox.
::Jessie decided to release Dustox so she could be with the one she loved.
::After saying goodbye to Jessie, Dustox flew away with Austin's Dustox, but quickly flew back to Jessie.
::Dustox must've known what Jessie planned on doing when she saw her holding up her Pokéball, and she shook her head trying to protest to Jessie.
::Jessie threw Dustox's Pokéball on the ground and smashed it with her foot and cried as she said "Now there's no Pokéball for you to return to."
::Dustox cried as she flew away with Austin's Shiny Dustox. Jessie cried as well and said she loved her.
::Jessie remembered catching Dustox when she was a ''{{p|Wurmple}}'' back in ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]'', Wurmple evolving into ''{{p|Cascoon}}'' in ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'', Cascoon evolving into ''{{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}'' in ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing]]'', and [[DP061|the two of them winning the Solaceon Contest together]].

====TaladradoraShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|{{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}|{{an|Iris}}|jap=ドリュアイ|rom=DoryuAi|

'''Evidence'''
:*Excadrill's refusal to battle on Iris's command wasn't an act of disobedience but was more about shame and distrust. He refused to battle for Iris because he was afraid to lose again after the humiliating loss to [[Drayden]] years earlier. This differs from [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] who simply wanted to do what they pleased.
:*''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]''
::Excadrill shows some reaction to Iris's crying after his loss to [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Beartic}} earlier. As such, he left the to the forest in order to work on {{m|Focus Blast}} and become stronger. Later, he agrees to rematch Beartic and listen to Iris's commands after regaining his confidence. After the second battle with Beartic, Iris hugs Excadrill and compliments him and they both laugh happily.

'''Name origins'''
:*''Taladradora'' is Spanish for drill.

====TwinApplesShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|{{TP|Iris|Axew}}|{{an|Iris}}|jap=キバアイ|rom=KibaAi|

'''Evidence'''
:*Axew is never seen in a Poké Ball unlike Iris's other Pokémon an prefers to travel inside her hair showing a close bond. Axew also tends to impersonate some of her actions, such as backing her up when she refers to Ash as a kid or when she refers to Cilan as a pain.
:*''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]''
:: When Iris becomes upset that she can't help Axew perfect {{m|Dragon Rage}}, he goes off and finds an apple for her to help her feel better. Later when {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} refuses to help Iris rescue Axew from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Scolipede}}, she takes it upon herself to save him without the aid of a Pokémon.
:*''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome]]''
::Iris congratulated Axew after he learned {{m|Outrage}}.
::Iris worried when Axew was still going out of control Iris wondered what was wrong.

:*''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]''
::After Axew uses Dragon Rage perfectly for the first time, Iris begins to smother him with affection.
:*''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye]]''
::Axew gave Iris flowers which she put in her hair.
::After Ash accidently ruined the flowers Iris got really mad at him, possibly because she treasured them since Axew was the one who gave them to her.
::Axew became worried about Iris when she began yelling at Ash for giving her a bitter apple. He became even more worried when she said she and Ash were no longer friends.
::Later on at night Iris woke up and said "I can't sleep." Axew then woke up and Iris apologized and asked him if she woke him up. She then cuddled with him and said "Wow, this is like when we first started traveling together. As long as we're together everything's gonna be fine." She then said good night to him and held him in her arms as they both fell asleep.
:* ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit]]''
::After Axew got hurt, Iris ran to him with concern and checked on him.
::Iris thought the incident was Emolga's fault and told her to apologize to Axew.
::After Emolga flew away in anger Iris said she didn't care and went to take care of Axew.
::After Emolga took Axew away from Iris, Iris became worried about him.
::Iris sent out Dragonite to help her find Axew.
::When Dragonite led Iris to Axew both of them called out to each other in desperation, and their voices became louder each time they called out to each other.
::Iris was able to read Axew's mind and that's how she found out he got hurt due to an {{m|Electro Ball}} that was fired at him by a {{p|Galvantula}}, and that's how she found out the incident wasn't Emolga's fault after all.
::When Team Rocket capture Axew (and Emolga) inside a crate with an Exploud, Iris became worried for them both.
::When the Exploud ate Axew, Iris gasped in shock and horror.
::After Axew broke free from the Exploud, Iris (and Emolga) let out a sigh of relief.
::When the gang was all together on the ship, Cilan mentioned that Iris may be one step closer to becoming a Dragon Mastter to which Iris replies "Wow, that's so cool!" Ash asks Axew "Bet you think that too, huh, Axew?" Axew cheered excitedly for Iris expressing his joy.
:*''[[SS028]]''
::Both times when ''{{TP|Iris|Gible}}'' began biting on Axew's head Iris tried to pull the two apart and told Gible not to bite Axew.
::Axew pulled Iris and Gible to safety on the clock tower when they were dangling from the minute hand after it changed position. The reason Iris and Axew were up there was because Gible had lost his balance and was dangling from the minute hand and Iris went up there to save him.

'''Name origins'''
:*''TwinApples'' refers to how Axew uses his tusks to carry apples to Iris.
}}
 

====WatcherShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|{{Tracey}}|{{TP|Tracey|Marill}}|jap=ケンマリ|rom=KenMari|

'''Evidence'''
:*Marill is Tracey's most recurring Pokémon.
:*''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''
::Marill becomes frightened when called upon to battle the pink {{p|Nidoking}} and jumps into Tracey's arms for protection. In response, he hugs it back.
:*''[[M02|The Power of One]]''
::While Tracey recalls {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}} and {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}} to their {{i|Poké Ball}}s, he clenches Marill to his side during the storm that [[Maren]]'s boat got caught in.

'''Name origins'''
:*''Watcher'' is derived from [[Pokémon watcher]].
}}
 

====WinkShipping====
{{shipping|color=light|{{Ash}}|{{TP|Ash|Gliscor}}|jap=???|rom=???|

'''Evidence'''

:''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]''
::*Gligar tries to break open the cage holding the two of them with X-Scissor, but hurts itself in the process and, after two X-Scissors, is on the verge of crying. Ash sees this and tells it softly to stop for a moment and let him try to get them out.

==Page split==
So will these all eventually get there own page? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 22:16, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
:Some might depending on what happens in the future. Like Imagination. Most, not likely. That's why they are here. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:30, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

==ImaginationShipping==
I put those notes there because I wanted to discuss them and found that better than starting an edit war. Basically, I have a problem with the first of Bianca's hints. It seems unnecessary since there is no evidence of hints. Bianca takes Ash his badge case as a favor to Professor Juniper, not because of any feelings for Ash, whom she hasn't met yet. Unless stated that Bianca has a habit of falling for guys that she hasn't met yet, it just doesn't belong. Also, you can't really say that she was excited about meeting him since she is always excited about something. Finally, her looking through her bag for Ash's badge case and looking distressed doesn't say much either. This just says that she is unorganized and that the habit bothers and possibly embarasses her. As far as them looking for Minccino I just wanted to point out that some could argue her willingness to help Ash was because she wanted to catch Minccino. I think that all of these are valuable claims, but please let me know your opinion. Again, that's why I added the notes instead of removing them. [[User:Gohan5|Gohan5]] 01:35, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
:You need to understand the Shippers' POV. There are a ton of things that I don't think are really hints for NegaiShipping as well as other shippings. Like Iris "marveling" on how Ash saved Tepig. She seemed like she was just concerned for Tepig. But I understand that it can look very different to a NegaiShipper so I leave it there to stay.
:I'm not really into ImagintationShipping myself. I am just trying to convey what a Shipper might see. I don't think it is that unreasonable to say that Bianca may have been a tad excited to meet Ash. What about when Iris started following Ash? Do you think that it was definitely because she likes him that way? I highly doubt it but it's listed there anyway. Because it's an understandable view for NegaiShippers to have. The reality is that Iris probably was just interested in Ash's training methods and probably wanted to have a traveling companion, though she would not admit it.
:Also, when Ash loses his badge case, Bianca flat out says "You just leave it to me and I'll get your case back in no time!" She didn't even mention Minccino. Though it is most likely what she wanted. But ImaginationShippers would probably see it that way. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:36, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
::I understand what you are saying about shippers POV and admit that I may not have taken that into account. Having said that, I think that the part about Bianca being excited to meet him and looking at his badge is alright, but the other info I still think is extraneous. Her looking through her bag for the badge case is unnecessary. As for Minccino I only wanted to make a note of her interest in the Pokémon. I didn't think it was a problem since it was hidden. It is not unlike how NegaiShipping used to have a hint about Iris leaning in close to Ash when he is talking about Zekrom. ArcToraphim added a note about Iris's interest in Zekrom and the hint was removed by someone sometime later. This is essentially the same thing. As far as for NegaiShipping and Iris "marveling" over Ash saving Tepig, I have wanted to reword that for some time now. It is notable to shippers because of Ash and Iris's rocky start and teasing relationship. This marks what could be a change in the way she looked at Ash. She is most likely surprised at Ash showing a sensitive side to Tepig. Sorry, went off topic there for a bit. Ultimately, Imagination is hard to put evidence for, because of Bianca's excitable personality. Everytime she talks to Ash could seem like evidence to a shipper. Just something to think about and I appreciate your input. [[User:Gohan5|Gohan5]] 04:20, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

==Ideas==
I don't want to intrude by editing, and I could never think of names for theses, but I'm sensing shipping for Bianca/Luke and also Iris/Stephan [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 01:52, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
:RaimonTownShipping is the name of Bianca/Luke and DiamondDragonShipping is the name of Iris/Stephan. Just so you know, if you have any information for them you'd like to compile you are welcome to add them yourself. As for me... I'll try to look into them. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:32, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

==LethalAttractionShipping==
It took a while for them to appear together again but from BW062 we can be sure that LethalAttractionShipping is somthing the writer are going to continue to hint at, should it get its own article? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 00:23, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

==Names for more pairings==
Are we going to note PiplupxMeloette and OshawottxMeloetta? What would we call them? I also think DawnxIris, PiplupxOshawott and BurgundyxGeorgia should be named and documented.

I'd also like to ask your permission to make a page for LethalAtractionShipping? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 14:23, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
:You'd need my permission to make a LethalAttraction article; as I tell everyone, make your article a userpage first and we'll see how the article cleans up. The 'ships you also mention are called JacobBlackshipping, EdwardCullenshipping, Annemaeshipping (which KG has), Kodomoshipping, and SourGrapesshipping respectively.
:Unrelated, KG, think it's time to merge our articles and Shipspace it? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]]

==Ash x Alexis XY==
I there a name for a Ash x Alexis (from XY) shipping? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 21:20, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

==A Reality Check==
This has gone far enough. This list has become merely "Anime characters with vague similarities" rather than "Anime characters who have arguably expressed feelings for each other". For sanity, I remind everyone in Project Shipping of your goals:

:''Write comprehensive and upstanding articles on Ships.
:''This means they are to be '''substantial''', well written (even if they are short articles), and '''with substance'''.
:''All given hints/evidence/facts should also be '''meaningful''' and not tossed in there because it made the Shipper in you go squee.

Many shippings have no Evidence or Hints section at all. Even the slightest bit of interaction between two characters lands them a spot on this list… It's honestly become a drain when a new ship is posted. How is it "meaningful" that two Trainers have the [[Shipping:List of anime shippings#TensionShipping|same type of Pokémon]], or have [[Shipping:List of anime shippings#MustardShipping|lost to the same main character]]? Use some critical thinking and remove the ships that have no actual basis outside of a shipper's heavily tinted lens. No, not just anything two people (or Pokémon, or a person and a Pokémon, or an adult and a minor) do can be construed as romantic in nature. Don't be silly, fix your article, and enforce your own rules for once. —[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 08:31, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

The most recent influx of "evidence" just proves my point further. Dawn's praise for Ambipom indicates she wants a romantic relationship with the Pokémon? Piplup acting like his normal haughty self means he wants a relationship with Oshawott? Scraggy likes Axew because he doesn't want his friend to leave? And [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Shipping:List_of_anime_shippings&diff=next&oldid=2165139 this one…] it has ''nothing'' to do with Iris liking her Emolga! At all! Do you see what I mean? These shippers have lost all sense of reality. Heck, I bet one of them has shipped me with themselves because I'm interacting with them in some way, so ''obviously'' I want a relationship with them (regardless of whether they're legal or human). If anyone can add any random, irrelevant piece of info to this list, then I can remove it just as easily. At this point, the official Bulbapedia guidelines side with my opinion, not that of this list's contributors. I'm considering taking immediate action to ensure this list complies with the guidelines you shippers should have been following in the first place. —[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 04:06, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

== AnnemaeShipping ==

Could it be possible to give AnnemaeShipping (Dawn & Iris)a page of it's own, considering their meeting in Best Wishes and a fairly decent amount of evidence supporting it, considering we did do it for SapphirePearlShipping (May & Dawn), Thanks [[User:Waterninja12345|Waterninja12345]] ([[User talk:Waterninja12345|talk]]) 15:41, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

== Translation on a ship ==

FleuredeGrenadeShipping, better known as the pairing of Grant and Viola has a literal translation. Although I no longer speak French, I understand it and checked Google Translate to confirm the translation. It ''literally'' translates as "grenade flower", something that doesn't make much sense. A ship name that ''would'' make sense would (yes, I researched this) have to be AltoGrandShipping because of '''viola's''' French meaning, as well as Grant's name. The only other name that would make sense is an Italian name: RacciaAltaShipping. That's all I have to say for the aforementioned ship. I know that there's not much evidence behind these, but I would like to throw them out there.
1. NinjaChildShipping: Ash and Janine. Although it'd be a nevermet ship (yes, I know Janine hasn't appeared in the anime), it would (more or less) be the result of NinjaFlowerShipping, which is Delia and Koga.
2. PearlCloneShipping: Ritchie and Dawn. Okay, we know the case of Ritchie and May. Dawn, like Ritchie, has at least one Electric-type, and one Flying-type. ''Pearl'' from Dawn's series and Clone from the thought that Ritchie is a clone of Ash.
3. NegaiCloneShipping: Ritchie and Iris. Not much evidence, unless you count Dragonite, which is a Kanto native, where Ritchie is from.
4. CloneAmourShipping or AmourCloneShipping: Ritchie and Serena (XY). Both own their respective region's starters.
5. MegaExcitementShipping: Ash and Diantha; like I said, not much evidence, but we know how excitable Ash is and Diantha doesn't seem to mind. As far as champions go, unless Drake and Iris are counted, she is the first champion to have battled Ash. {{unsigned|WATERWARRIOR67}}

==Possible Ship==

I've never edited a page before, and I'm not really sure how to make it work, but I still want to contribute the idea of the ship of Lillie and Mallow, as they seem to be a ship that has begun forming. [[User:AgenderSudokuNerd|AgenderSudokuNerd]] ([[User talk:AgenderSudokuNerd|talk]]) 22:10, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

==Serena x James in XY085==

I saw that in [[XY085|Mending a Broken Spirit!]], [[James]] and {{an|Serena}} had some moments that could be a candidate for a ship. Do you think we should put it on this list? If so, I think it should be called RocketAmourShipping. [[User:Vanvan529|Vanvan]][[User talk:Vanvan529|529]] 18:53, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

== Criteria for this list ==

What is the criteria for including ships on this list if they already have their own page on Bulbapedia? I had previously assumed that any ship notable enough to have its own page would also be notable enough to include in this list. But I found a LOT (I counted 27) of anime ships that have their own page and yet are not mentioned on this list. If they can't be included on this page for some reason, can they be included on a subpage or something so that people can easily find them? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 07:22, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

== Poor Mallow ==

Is there a reason we don't have any Mallow ships on this page? Actually Ash x Mallow and Mallow x Lillie are both quite popular in the fandom. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 07:23, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is an aspiring {{tc|Doctor|Pokémon Doctor}} from [[Pewter City]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of {{Ash}}. He used to be the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Pewter Gym]], handing out the {{Badge|Boulder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeated him.

Brock journeyed with Ash through the [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s in his pursuit of improving his skills as a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}. Eventually, he decided to return home and study to become a Pokémon Doctor.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Young Brock.png|thumb|left|220px|A young Brock]]
====Pre-series====
Not much is known about Brock's early childhood. In ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', he revealed that his {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was an {{TP|Brock|Onix}} he received as a tenth-birthday {{pkmn2|gift}} from his father {{ka|Flint}}.

When he was younger, he participated in {{wp|Little League Baseball}}, as mentioned in ''[[EP125|The Little Big Horn]]''.

Prior to joining {{Ash}} at the end of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', Flint left the family home to pursue his own ventures. As a result, Brock assumed the responsibility of running the [[Pewter Gym]] while also taking care of {{Brocksib|his nine younger siblings}} on his own.

====As Ash's traveling companion====
In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', after Brock awarded Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to {{pkmn|journey}} with Ash and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather [[Pokémon training#Caretaking|care]] for Pokémon than {{pkmn|battle}} them. It was his dream to become a great {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream.

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as [[Officer Jenny]] in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]] in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.
[[File:Brock goodbye EP083.png|thumb|250px|Brock leaving the group to stay with [[Professor Ivy]]]]
Brock took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a Breeder named [[Suzie]].

Brock briefly left the show during the [[S02|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. In the English dub of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', he mentioned his work for her. After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]].

In ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', Brock returned Vulpix to Suzie. Together, they entered Vulpix into the [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]] in [[Bonitaville]].

At the end of Ash and {{ashfr}}' journey in Johto, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the Gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.
[[File:Brock family.png|thumb|left|250px|Brock's family]]
After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when the {{series|Advanced Generation}} ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned to travel with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]]. Near the end of the Sinnoh saga, Brock began to show interest in becoming a {{tc|Doctor|Pokémon Doctor}}, and so, rather than following Ash to [[Unova]] to advise him, decided to remain in Kanto to study.

Brock is among the longest-running main characters in the anime, having been present in nearly every episode between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', with the notable exception of the {{DL|List of original series episodes|Orange League arc|Orange Islands saga}}, the [[EP274|final original series episode]], the first three episodes of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the [[DP001|first episode of the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series]]. His tenure is ranked under {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who have appeared in every episode. It is also ranked under [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who also have appeared in every episode except for the [[EP001|very first episode]]; [[AG120]]; and a few episodes of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, the {{series|XY}}, and the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.

Brock made an appearance in [[SS025]], where it was revealed that, while waiting to attend a Pokémon medical school, he had been studying hard at home as well as helping out at the [[Pewter City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. In the episode, he played a major role in helping [[Forrest]] to officially become the Pewter City Gym Leader when it is revealed that his father never informed the [[Pokémon League]] of the title change.

===={{series|Best Wishes}}====
[[File:SS027.png|thumb|250px|Brock meeting {{an|Cilan}}]]
Brock was mentioned in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'', when Dawn learned that {{an|Cilan}} cooks for himself, Ash and {{an|Iris}}. She said this was similar to the way Brock used to for her and Ash before he decided to become a Pokémon Doctor. He also appeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW088|The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo!]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''. In addition, he appeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

Brock appeared in person in [[SS027]], where it was revealed that he had attended the Pokémon medical school and had been sent to [[Johto]] to apprentice under a Pokémon Doctor as part of his training. While passing through the town he bumped into [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] Cilan briefly, then encountered him again when Cilan took his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to be treated at the town's [[Pokémon Center]] after it was injured by a {{p|Gyarados}}. While waiting for it to recover, the two encountered the beginning Trainer [[Ayumi]] who was having trouble teaching her {{p|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}; Brock was very impressed with Cilan's talents as Cilan helped Pikachu master the move. Later, when the Gyarados that Cilan encountered earlier started to rampage due to being injured by the {{pkmn|poacher}} [[Amer]], Brock spotted that it was injured, so after Pansage's {{m|Grass Whistle}} put it to {{status|sleep}}, Brock was able to quickly treat it. Afterwards, the two said goodbye to each other and continued their separate travels, having never learned their names or that {{Ash}} was a mutual friend of theirs.

===={{series|Sun & Moon}}====
[[File:Brock and Lillie.png|thumb|left|250px|Brock checking on [[Snowy]]]]
Brock reappeared in several {{series|Sun & Moon}} episodes, first reappearing with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, where he also used his expertise as a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}} to diagnose {{an|Lillie}}'s [[Snowy]]'s airsickness as harmless. Brock and Misty then compared Kantonian and [[Regional variant|Alolan]] Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Later, Brock and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Brock was angry to find were still up to their old tactics of stealing Pokémon. Afterwards, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Brock and Misty assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Brock defeated Lillie and {{an|Sophocles}} in a [[Multi Battle]], then used his [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} to defeat {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. He and Misty then bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit [[Alola]] sometime in the future.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Brock accompanied Misty to Alola and met up with Ash and his classmates. Stopping by the [[Pokémon Center]], he flirted with Nurse Joy, only to be stopped by Misty. He remained behind to assist Nurse Joy as she treated a {{p|Yungoos}}.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Brock and Misty accompanied Ash and his classmates to [[Akala Island]]. They visited [[Paniola Ranch‎‎]], where a {{p|Kangaskhan}} was threatening the Pokémon after its baby was injured. Using a {{TP|Brock|Comfey}} that Nurse Joy had given him, Brock was able to treat the baby Kangaskhan's injury. Later, upon meeting [[Island Kahuna]] [[Olivia]], Brock immediately fell in love with her and they agreed to a battle. Brock used Sudowoodo against her {{p|Lycanroc}}, but the battle was interrupted when Team Rocket attempted to steal the Pokémon. Brock teamed up with Olivia to turn Lycanroc's {{m|Continental Crush}} into the shape of a heart, which defeated Team Rocket. At the end of the episode, Brock returned to Kanto alongside Misty.

Brock will reappear in [[M22]].

Brock also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

===Character===
[[File:Brock preparing Pokémon food.png|thumb|left|220px|Brock preparing [[Pokémon food]]]]
Prior to joining {{Ash}} on his {{pkmn|journey}}, Brock had become increasingly frustrated and harsh towards challengers as a result of his responsibilities as both the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]] and the main caretaker for his {{Brocksib|nine younger siblings}}. Even while traveling, he would think of his family, returning home on several occasions like in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.

Brock is noticeably mature, wise, and levelheaded, often acting as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before himself and will support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there. However, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, this role was mostly taken over by [[Max]], who owned a [[PokéNav]].

He is renowned for his domestic abilities like sewing, vacuuming, and, most notably, cooking, which Ash and the others always enjoy without fail. The capacity of Brock's [[Bag]] is endless, as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', where it is capable of containing full tea-sets, tables, and cooking utensils. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[Potion]]s and [[Pokémon food]], though he has to make pit stops in towns so he could restock the group's supplies.
[[File:Max Brock ears.png|thumb|left|220px|Max pulling Brock's ears]]
Despite this, all of his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, and he is extremely passionate over the prospect of finding the girl of his dreams, though he is usually never successful in wooing a woman. Despite this, a few women have been known to show interest in him, such as [[Wilhomena]], [[Temacu]], [[Natalie]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, [[Holly]], {{OBP|Autumn|DP062}}, [[Narissa]], [[Lizabeth]], and [[Olivia]]. Despite his failures, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and Misty and Max have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. In addition, some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women.

He also carries a small blue journal containing information on every girl he meets, referring to it in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as his "Little Blue Book of Babes". It most recently appeared in ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'' and featured [[Island Kahuna]] [[Olivia]].
[[File:Brock and Nurse Joy.png|240px|thumb|Brock flirting with Nurse Joy]]
His love of the [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]] family lines, in particular, can be overbearing and embarrassing for his friends. Brock can also tell whether they are real or impostors, as well as make out subtle physical differences between them. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series.

Brock was not shown to {{pkmn|battle}} often in spite of his experience as a former Gym Leader, though he happily accepts challenges from girls like [[Miki]], [[Molly Hale]], and Olivia. Instead, he tended to advise Ash on battle strategies and keenly watched matches from the sidelines, seeing the knowledge as valuable to understanding a Pokémon in its entirety.

His goals have played a passive role in his development, and Brock's overall role has generally been one as support for other main characters, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action of the series. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his initial aim to become a great {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} was a quiet one and thus did not get showcased frequently. Brock's experience with {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} taught him a lot about conditioning and nutrition, while further knowledge came from raising {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} and {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}. He questioned whether he was actually pursuing his dreams like his friends near the end of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and ultimately decided to become a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}} instead.

===Pokémon===
As [[Gym]] tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, were {{t|Rock}} [[types]]. However, once he was able to leave the [[Pewter Gym]] and go on a {{pkmn|journey}}, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. As he has stated in ''[[DP125|Battling A Cute Drama!]]'', his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the [[friendship|bond]] between Trainer and Pokémon.

His Pokémon tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and have been shown to be very capable battlers, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to {{pkmn|training|train}} his Pokémon. Brock {{pkmn|groomer|grooms}} not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels.

This is a listing of {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}} as of the most recent Japanese episode. Pokémon listed as "on hand" have been seen since his return to the anime in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Brock AP.png|thumb|220px|Brock in the Ash & Pikachu manga]]
===In the Ash & Pikachu manga===
Brock appears as a main character of the [[Ash & Pikachu]] manga, similar to his role in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

He temporarily left the group in ''[[SP17|Let's Save Pikachu!!]]'' but rejoined {{Ash}} in ''[[SP18|The Keeper Of The Tree, Treecko!!]]''.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Brock EToP.png|thumb|220px|Brock in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Brock is a frequently recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. Like in the anime, he is a traveling companion of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock first appears in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', where Ash challenges him for the {{Badge|Boulder}}. After defeating Brock and earning the Badge, Ash leaves [[Pewter City]] and continues his journey alone.

Brock reappears in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', meeting Ash by coincidence in [[Saffron City]]. He becomes a steady traveling companion of Ash in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', though he separates from Ash in ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'' while he prepares for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

Brock in the manga is much like he is in the Pokémon anime: he is the Leader of the [[Pewter Gym]], but he takes a break from his duties as [[Gym Leader]] to travel. Unlike in the anime, he does not hand control of the Gym to his {{ka|Flint|father}} or his {{TP|Brock|siblings}}, instead, he closes the Gym completely while he travels. Brock has a weakness for pretty girls such as [[the Sensational Sisters]], and he is the only character that can tell the many [[Nurse Joy]]s and [[Officer Jenny]]s apart.

===In the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga===

Brock, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters. In those, Brock and company have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

===In the movie manga adaptations===

==Trivia==
[[File:Brock Memories.png|thumb|250px|Some [[Photography|old memories]] of Brock with his traveling companions]]
* Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed, and he stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20061216014724/http://www.totalpokemon.com/anime/stuartview1</ref>
** In ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]'', Brock confirmed that he does indeed have a last name, although did not give it.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even {{Ash}}, by capturing {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', exactly one episode after [[EP005|his debut]].
* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross-dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to fool Brock.
* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon ({{TP|Brock|Golbat}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). All of them have since [[Evolution|evolved]].
* Brock is the only person to have been Ash's main traveling companion for more than one series, traveling with him during the [[original series]] (minus the {{DL|List of original series episodes|Orange League arc}}), {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.
* The {{series|XY}} is the only series where Brock does not appear and is never mentioned.
** However, the ear pull {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]] did on Brock was referenced by {{an|Shauna}} and {{an|Tierno}} in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''.
* Brock ranked first place in a 20th anniversary poll leading up to ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' concerning former cast members viewers want to see return.<ref>https://s.animeanime.jp/article/2017/05/11/33827.html</ref>

===Interview with Hidaka about Brock's short absence from the anime===
There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, Anglo-Saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character. However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.

[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee.png|thumb|250px|Japanese logo]]
'''Where Are You Going, Eevee?''' (Japanese: '''イーブイどこいくの？''' ''{{tt|Eievui|Eevee}}, Where Are You Going?'') is a series of six short stories that occurs at the end of episodes in the {{series|Sun & Moon}} of the [[Pokémon anime]].

The segments are placed after the [[List of Japanese ending themes|ending theme]] of the episode in the Japanese version, but before the ending credits in the English [[dub]]. Following the initial Japanese airing of the episode, the segments were uploaded to the official Japanese Pokémon Twitter page and YouTube channel for a limited time. The shorts were also uploaded to the official English Pokémon Twitter page and YouTube channel beginning on March 23, 2019, however episode 5 was skipped for unknown reasons.

Introduced in ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]'', each segment contains a part of a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Sandy|Eevee]]'s journey until it meets {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} in [[Alola]], after which it is {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{an|Lana}} in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]''.

==Episode 1==
[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee 1.png|thumb|250px|Episode 1]]
===Summary===
An Eevee with shaggy fur is walking along a dock, happily, until it realizes that is hungry. It spots a nearby food bowl, full of Pokémon food and a {{p|Houndour}}'s face on side of the bowl. It eats the food, until the Houndour comes across Eevee and gets angry that it is eating its food. Eevee runs off, with Houndour angrily chasing it to a crowd of people. Eevee chooses to hide behind a man who is walking aboard a nearby ship to escape the Houndour.

After getting on the ship, Eevee walks until it comes over to the side of the ship. It uses one of its paws to brush away the bangs that are in front of its eyes, so that it can see more clearly. It looks out at the ocean, with an excited face, before the ship sails to its next destination.

==Episode 2==
[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee 2.png|thumb|250px|Episode 2]]
===Summary===
As the ship sails across the ocean, a {{p|Wailord}} jumps out of the water before falling back in. This causes a wave to rock the ship, sending several crates overboard, including one containing Eevee. After waking up from a nap, Eevee is scared to find itself lost at sea and falls into the ocean in the midst of its panic. However, it is saved by a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mantine}}, which notices its dilemma and takes it on its back.

==Episode 3==
[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee 3.png|thumb|250px|Episode 3]]
===Summary===
Eevee and Mantine are happily surfing across the ocean. Noticing a wave, Mantine [[Mantine Surf|rides up its side]] and flips over, sending Eevee down into the water, where it happily enjoys the experience. As Mantine resurfaces underneath Eevee, it eagerly asks for more, so they ride up another wave, and as Mantine leaps into the air, it performs a {{DL|Mantine Surf|Moves|Left Roll}}, causing Eevee to fall into the water again. Unperturbed, it asks for another go, and this time, Mantine performs a Right Roll and a Left Roll, with Eevee managing to stay on top of it the whole time. They both are happy for their success and continue on their journey across the sea.

===Summary===
As Mantine performs another Mantine Surf, Eevee spots [[Melemele Island|an island]] up ahead and points it out to Mantine. They arrive at a beach and Eevee sniffs the air before Mantine calls out to Eevee, announcing its departure. They embrace before Mantine heads back out to sea. A {{p|Wimpod}} scuttles across the sand and Eevee chases it before Wimpod takes cover inside a hole in a cliff, preventing Eevee from following it. A leaf drops on a disappointed Eevee and it notices a [[Nanab Berry]] tree above it. Eevee climbs up a cliff, approaches the tree, and shakes it, causing several Berries to fall. Although one of the Berries falls straight onto Eevee's head, it quickly ignores the resulting lump and begins eating the delicious Berry.

==Episode 5==
[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee 5.png|thumb|250px|Episode 5]]
===Summary===
As the sun rises to mark the beginning of a new day in [[Alola]], Eevee wakes up in its new home underneath a tree trunk near the shore. After shaking itself awake and eating some {{Berries}} for breakfast, Eevee takes a stroll around the beach, where it comes across a {{p|Pyukumuku}}. Excited to see this new Pokémon, Eevee eagerly examines it, annoying the Pyukumuku to such a degree that it punches Eevee away with its fist-like appendage. To Eevee's luck, it is saved from a harsh landing by being accidentally caught inside one of [[Lana's Popplio]]'s balloons, one of which also catches Pyukumuku and drops it back into the sea. The balloon containing Eevee pops as well, dropping it in front of {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}}' Pokémon. Overjoyed to see so many new friends, Eevee happily {{m|Tackle}}s most of them, but when it hits {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}'s hard shell, it simply bounces back and lands in {{TP|Mallow|Tsareena}}'s arms. As the other Pokémon look at Eevee with mild confusion, it simply smiles happily at its new friends.

==Episode 6==
[[File:Where Are You Going Eevee 6.png|thumb|250px|Episode 6]]
===Summary===
Eevee and Popplio are swimming together in shallow water. With the other Pokémon cheering it from the shore, Eevee speeds up and rapidly swims towards Popplio, impressing the [[Pokémon category|Sea Lion Pokémon]] with its swimming speed. Next, Eevee plays with some Pokémon on the shore, happily running around, until Eevee accidentally hits one of Tutonator's spikes, triggering {{m|Shell Trap}} and causing a blast that hits the Pokémon in the blast radius. At first, {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} yells at Eevee, but soon, everybody laughs at the situation. Eevee then gathers Berries for everyone to eat. As the sun finally starts setting, Pikachu and the others leave to rejoin their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, leaving Eevee alone on the beach. It returns to its home, feeling down about being left alone again.

Does anyone else think the Mewtwo and Mew in this are the ones from the first movie, or is it just me? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 23:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
:Okay I'm pretty sure that there is only ONE Mewtwo. Pretty good chance.[[User:Pokemaniac102|Poke]][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|Maniac]][[Special:Contributions/Pokemaniac102|102]] 23:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Why does the edit to remove all the stupid links in the lyrics section keep being undone?
The links do nothing than detract from it. They are not necessary, and just clutter it up. We do not need links to the article on Levels, nor links to the article for Gameboy Colour.
I will continue to get rid of the links.--[[User:Mostly Harmless|Mostly Harmless]] 21:18, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
:No edit wars, guys. I protected this for a day. Links in lyrics are only to be placed if a DIRECT reference is made. Otherwise, NO. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 23:02, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

== 'to' Johto? ==

I'm Dutch and I disagree with the translation of the Dutch title, 'De Reis van Johto' means 'The Journey of Johto' not 'The Journey 'to' Johto'. Could somebody change it? [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] 21:26, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

==Should multiple versions be included?==
As I know, there're 3 versions od this theme - the short one(the 'actual' opening), the long one(full version, from soundtrack CD) and the movie version. Lyrics here are from movie version, should the ones from original version be written too(like in 2nd opening article)? [[User:OldBen|OldBen]] 21:30, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

== Bellossom ==

Doesn't Bellossom appear in this intro? They are dancing in front of Elekid. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 10:40, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Kidburla: /* Generation of Pokémon */

==Plot==
So I just found the plot for the new movie today and wanted to share it.

"Once a year, a "wind festival" is held in Fura City, the city where people live together with the wind. While the ancient belief that the legendary Pokémon Lugia will appear and bring about the blessed wind on the final day of the festival still exists, the people that gather in the city participate in the festival while wrapped in their own thoughts......
Lisa, the highschooler and Pokémon rookie.
Kagachi, the braggart that just can't stop telling tall tales.
Trito, the timid researcher that lacks confidence.
Hisui, the old eccentric that hates Pokémon.
Largo, the mysterious little girl that hangs around in the forest all by herself.
These are the people that Ash and Pikachu meet. That meeting makes everyone's story start moving forward."

Can we add this in under a blurb section like the previous movies?--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 14:48, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

== Generation of Pokémon ==

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe all the wild Pokémon in this movie (except Zeraora obviously) are from Generation I or II. Is this worth noting in the article, and possibly also in the [[Fula City]] article? It does imply that Fula City is possibly in the Johto region (this last sentence is purely speculation). [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 22:55, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

: You are mistaken. Toren has a Lurantis, and one of the trainers in the capture race has a Weavile. [[User:TheFatPanda|TheFatPanda]] ([[User talk:TheFatPanda|talk]]) 23:05, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

:: My comment was talking about '''wild''' Pokémon here... i.e. not trainer Pokémon. [[M20]] was set in Kanto and yet there was a trainer with an Incineroar. I was going mainly by wild Pokémon. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 23:09, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

== Pokémon Generations films ==

When I saw the movie in a UK cinema, the shorts [[PG04]] and [[PG06]] were attached (in that order). This continues the Generation II theme to the release. Were the same shorts used in all showings? If so, we could add these specifics to the article, because right now it just says Pokémon Generations shorts, but not which. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 22:58, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

== Fish ==

Near the beginning of the movie we see an underwater building in the shape of a Tentacruel. A fish Pokémon swims away from it but I only caught a short glimpse of it. At the time I assumed it was Wishiwashi but now I'm not sure. I can't match it with any of the Pokémon from the article. Did anyone see which Pokémon this was? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 23:02, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

== Detective Pikachu trailer ==

The article says that a Detective Pikachu trailer was seen in UK showings, but at least in my cinema (Vue Westfield Stratford City, London) there was no such trailer, only the interview with Rob Letterman (that's already mentioned) and the other segments mentioned. I was really hoping they would show the trailer on the big screen, but they definitely didn't. Was it only shown at some screenings?

Talk:Player character

2018-10-29T01:05:01Z

Kidburla: /* Orlando (again) */

I suggest merge of [[Player character]] and [[Rival]], as well as categorisation according to the game instead of the Region. Also, I believe Pokemon Ranger characters should be added as main characters, considering that Pokemon Ranger is actually a main Pokemon Game.

Anyone have the Emerald sprite of May? [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Porygon-Z''']][ 14:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
:And again that request is made. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Re-write? ==

Does anyone else think this article needs a re-write? [[User:PDL|PDL]] 03:14, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:Do you have a reason? [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 02:03, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
:It seems kinda... messy. It's not that hard really explain how a player character works in a video game. [[User:PDL|PDL]] 02:50, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Backsprites ==

I was thinking that we could take a page from the Pokémon pages and find the backsprites of the player characters as well as the partner characters (like Steven and Buck).--[[User:MisterE13|MisterE13]] 03:05, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

== Mentioning of Player in Mystery Dungeon? ==

There's not really much more to say... [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Nos hablamos?]] 01:36, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
:Or the player in Trozei (being the user him/herself). Or in any of the other games, for that matter. What about Snap? I feel like this should be a stub. [[User:Jazzmoth|Jazzmoth]] 05:16, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
::Actually, the player in Trozei (or Link, as we call it over here) is [[Lucy Fleetfoot]]. [[User:Flicky|Fli]][[User talk:Flicky|cky]][[User:Flicky/Latin|1991]] 17:59, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
:::And that's a stub, if I've ever seen one. [[User:Jazzmoth|Jazzmoth]] 02:07, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

== *COUGH* ==

Why do we need backsprites?--[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[Quilava (Pokémon)|Racer''']] [[User talk:RexRacer|'''''-talk''''']] 02:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
:We have them for Pokémon. So why not characters.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 02:54, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
::Because it made the page wayyy to big. Maybe if we didn't just have one, but all of those broken links look just awful.--[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[Quilava (Pokémon)|Racer''']] [[User talk:RexRacer|'''''-talk''''']] 02:58, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
:::We could resize them. We also have broken links on the Pokémon pages IMHO, it just lets someone know that the images should be created.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 03:01, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
::::Resize? Eww. Only one Pokémon even does that, and it's Deoxys. Perhaps I'll do a hack of the sprite template that'll allow for it. Or you can. I dunno. Yeah. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:07, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

== Michael and What's his name... ==

What about side game characters? [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 03:52, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
:Lunick, Solana, the players in PMD, yeah they should go here. And if they do, the part about being remarkably silent doesn't apply to PMD.[[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 05:55, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

== Dawn and Luca's Platinum sprites ==

They're not uploaded yet,right? Can someone upload them? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 21:45, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

== Two little things ==

Couldn't the table also hold the overworld sprite for each character? I don't think they appear anywhere else. Also, HgSs will require another column for Gold and Kris, should I change it? [[User:Mr. Charlie|Mr. ]][[User talk:Mr. Charlie|Charlie]] 03:04, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

== Gamecube game characters? ==

What about Wes and Michael? I see no reason for them to be excluded. Sure, we wouldn't have as many pictures since they appear in 3D games, but I really can't consider those games to be side-games. They're full-fledged Pokemon RPGs, just like the handhelds. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] 02:07, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
:Umm...already stated... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 02:08, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
::Missed it due to the lack of pictures. Nevermind. Sorry. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] 02:09, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

== Ranger ==

Shouldn't we list the player characters in Ranger? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:35, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
:I will. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 03:36, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

== The new girl ==

Since we're not getting Kris back, as she's more a Crystal character than a GS (and by extension, HGSS) character, what should we name the new girl since we don't know her name and likely won't be getting it?

I say Soul, since, like Leaf, she'll likely be named for the prefix of the secondary remake game, while her male counterpart is the primary original game (Gold, like Red) and her rival is the secondary original game (Silver, like Blue/Green).

Should we make an article yet, though? I've protected both Heart and {{ga|Soul}} until the tenth anniversary of GS, so... no need to worry there. Plus, we can move it when and if we get her real name either via hacking the games to pieces or because they actually '''give her one outright'''. But it never happened to Leaf, so... we'll just wait to see, eh?

So, below, vote: make it, don't make it, and under what name? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:52, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

:There are still some arguments that she is Kris but with a major redesign. Kinda like Red in FRLG. But I don't know. I say Soul because of the reason you stated (even though I like Heart better). Make it under {{ga|Soul}}. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:59, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

::Let's wait till the game is released. An opposite-gender player will have a supporting role, which means there'll be a fixed name for her. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 05:15, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

:::Well, we shouldn't wait six months to make an article about a character from the Pokémon games. I like Soul, but make sure that it is noted that until confirmation it is a fan name. When CoroCoro comes out I'll have at it and see if it is noted anywhere amidst the crazyness.--[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[User talk:RexRacer|Racer''']] 05:24, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
::::Maxim... that's for Gen III and IV games. HGSS is a Gen II game (technically). Where was Leaf's supporting role? Did I somehow ''miss her'' in FireRed, despite completing the game 100%? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
::::: My vote goes for making an article, or at least starting one that we can move to the proper place when the name is revealed. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 06:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::I vote for making the article. Call it Soul or whatever you want, see if I care. I'm too upset with the decision of erasing Kris from the Pokémon World to even bother. Kris is the best thing that ever happened to the Pokémon franchise. [[User:Mr. Charlie|Mr. ]][[User talk:Mr. Charlie|Charlie]] 06:43, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Your right Mr. Charlie, if it wasn't for Kris there wouldn't be girl characters. Then they go and replace her with a girl with Mario's overolls and a '''HUGE''' hat. I felt like crying :(
See my page, the part with my pokemon trainers. I'm not going to touch it untill some more info on this "Soul".[[User:Glitchym1|Glitchym1]] 21:55, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Scratch that last thing I said, I'll call her Soul Kamon.[[User:Glitchym1|Glitchym1]] 22:10, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

== Titles... ==

Color clashing... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 01:17, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
:Should be better now. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 01:48, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

== Overhead sprites ==

Think we should add those too? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 10:43, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
:Old question but sounds like a good idea. However, we need someone able to rip sprites to do that. [[User:Pokemon lover|ポケモン]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|あいこうか]] 19:21, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

== Gold's backsprite ==

Why do we even have it there? Anyway,they changed his backsprite,but the article still shows the original one. Is the screenshot to small? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 01:22, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:There are two there already... [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 02:39, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::I meant his Heartgold and Soulsilver backsprite,they changed [http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee357/Pichu_Chu/con01_img04.jpg it],it's slightly different. For example,his hair isn't parted. [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 22:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
I guess it could be one of the first beta things for HGSS, but its still to early to tell, they could change it again--[[User:Pokéboy93|Pokéboy93]] 04:55, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

i think we should wait because the back sprite is changing in recent pictures he does not have the symbol on the back of his hat.--[[User:Pokéboy93|Pokéboy93]] 17:10, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

== Counterparts for missing ==

May and Dawn needs on their respective webs a section of counterparts like Red, Gold, Kris and Kotone, please sombebody cna do it? --Ash 20:50, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

== Wes is one of the few that "doesnt wear head gear" trivia ==

Ummm... I own Colosseum and it shows him wearing silver visors in his hair, and also if you go to his page you can see he's wearing them as headgear in the photo. But, every time I try to remove Wes from that part of the trivia, someone puts him back in...

Visors aren't headgear. They're eyeware. [[User:67h5r6h|67h5r6h]] 19:12, 15 July 2010 (UTC)67h5r6h

== Gold's HGSS Name ==

Until HG and SS are released here (as short a time as that'll be), Gold's HGSS sprite should be titled "Hibiki". Then there's the matter of Silver seemingly being "rival"/"Rival" rather than truly named, but a lack of name rationalizes attributing "Silver" to him my my count (though that's not so much here as it is there, on the rivals' page). [[User:TJF588|TJF588]] 01:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
:There has been a heap of discussion about these characters' names all over the pedia (for example, here), and the consensus reached is that we ain't touching anything until the games are released. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 01:49, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

== Protection ==

I personally think we should protect this page considering the Generation V boy and girl heroes have been revealed with little detail for both. The main reason is because I know someone out there will post fake images and ridiculous speculation. [[User:Ninterror|Ninterror]] 11:52, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
:I'd rather we assumed good faith and left it open. We'll see how it goes for now. When the details really start to come out, we can rethink. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:32, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, about that, shouldn't somebody put info and pics about BW player characters? {{unsigned|Pokenick}}

== Stadium characters ==

Do they count as player characters? You honestly don't really play as them, as in moving them or anything, but you do tell your Pokemon what to do, which is the players ability. So you ''technically'' do play as them. Also, they aren't Ethan and Kris. Or even actually, any other protagonist [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 14:06, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
:Of course they do. You control them just as much as Lucy Fleetfoot. They are 100% player characters, in my opinion. The fact that you don't walk using them doesn't make them any worse. I think I could upload their faceshots and add them to this article. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:25, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

== What's wrong? ==

I can't see the bottom of this page. It dead-ends after the template with Ranger Characters. Does this happen just to me, or is there something screwed-up in the coding? It doesn't happen when I view older revisions of the article. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:04, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
:Works fine for me. I think it's because of all the internal trouble and stuff the the 'pedia's been experiencing recently. It happend to me the other day, on a different page. [[User:Takharii|<sc>Takharii</sc>]] '''~''' [[User talk:Takharii|<sc>Talk!</sc>]] 11:10, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

== Black and White Trainers? ==

I'm a bit surprised they aren't featured here. I understand them not getting their own pages (yet) due to the scarcity of information on them, but I can't even find their images on this site. {{unsigned|Clark Griswald}}

They probably just want to avoid speculation. Personally, I'm just glad the male trainer has a normal hair color. First in Generation III it was white, then in IV it looked purple (although ingame it looked more like black)
On a somewhat related note, does anyone have any idea why the player characters from black and white are older than in previous games?[[User:67h5r6h|67h5r6h]] 19:10, 15 July 2010 (UTC)67h5r6h
:No Black and White until we actually know something about them. And no opinionated chat here. There are in fact pictures of the BW main characters in the group shot in the article. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:20, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

The male trainer in Generation III has black hair. In the manga, it revealed that the white part was a hat. And if you look closely under the headband, you could see some black hair. ([[User:Holonboy|Holonboy]] 06:33, 26 August 2010 (UTC))

== Trivia ==

Does anyone else think it's worth mentioning that each of the main series player characters have a hat of some sort? '''''[[Special:Contributions/Shiny_Rayquaza|→→→]] [[User:Shiny Rayquaza|Shiny]] [[User talk:Shiny Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]''''' 02:10, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure that the edits by ''Ash Pokemaster‏'' is right? Does this page no longer needed the sprites from previous generations? [[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang95]] 10:38, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

::If you need sprites you can always use a [http://www.spriters-resource.com/ sprites resource]! Heck, you can even open the article of each character to find them. I don't think there's need for sprites to be placed in every possible article. The article looks much more elegant now, albeit incomplete. :P
::Also, this isn't a perfect design or anything. I just tried to make it look more proper for the wiki, but it still needs work. First of all, there is need for this style to be applied in other characters as well. It would also probably be handy to combine the male the female characters boxes.

:At least in HGSS, the height and weight for the PCs is physically spelled out, meaning the game tells you outright that the characters are this height and weight (so I suspect it's the same for DPPt). In Ruby and FR (the games I checked), there are only rough silhouette depictions and no numbers (and certainly no weight comparisons).

Why the distinction? I know there's a lot people that wrongly consider Colosseum and XD to be part of the main series, but I see no reason for there to be a distinction between these and the other spinoffs. They do have gameplay closer to that in the main series, but they're hardly the only spinoffs to allow trading to the main games. Seems like a completely arbitrary section.

:It varies. In some of the older games, the official names were often available as a default if you didn't enter a name, or were used in the game's data to label the characters' sprites and other information. In recent games the characters often go by those names when they are not chosen by the player and appear instead as an NPC, such as with Hilbert, Hilda, Nate, and Rosa (in the Battle Subway) or Calem, Serena, Lucas, Dawn, Brendan, May, Ethan, and Lyra (as rivals/friends of the player). —[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 16:18, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

== Sun and Moon's Names ==

Are Sun and Moon really the official names? I read somewhere that the opposite player doesn't show up as an NPC, and we don't have either one in the anime so we can't go off of that, and the Dex Holders in Pokémon Adventures are always named after the games, so that's not good either... I think we should discuss it a bit before we decide their names.

[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 06:03, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

:I don't know if they even HAVE official names. But people will surely be looking for information about the player characters of the new games and their role in the story, so in the absence of reliable official names, placeholder names might have to do. "Sun" for the male PC at least has some in-game basis (being the name of the PC in the special demo version), and "Moon" would correspond to that. Of course, discussion is still good—if anyone knows a set of names with better justification, I'm all ears. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 16:33, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

:::I would actually suggest Elios (Sun) and Selene (Moon) for their placeholder names, since those were their given names in pre-release materials.

I suggested this names back then but they said it was not 100% confirmed since Calem and Serena already changed names, but they preferred the last names that was used to call then in the demo, Sun & moon, if something important like this is not yet decided editions shouldn´t be locked again ultil it is?-- [[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 03:46, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
::Since Calem and Serena's names were '''X'''avier and '''Y'''vonne, it's likely those were meant to be like the names of their games, X & Y but a little more subtle.

From what I've seen, Sun and Moon are the most common names for the player characters. They' names of the games have been used before for PC names, so I see no reason why that naming pattern can't be used again, and those are the names used in the manga. Since the characters don't appear in the games unless you select them, I think that's as close to official names as we're going to get. [[User:Toolen|Toolen]] ([[User talk:Toolen|talk]]) 04:57, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

So Helio and Selene are not acceptable? I think that pattern may return as well cause the pokémon franchise never(or at the eyes of somes at least changes)follows patterns, can´t see why they will always follow in this aspect, i have to disagree with the argument of the manga though since until today i(and i think most part of the fans) don´t see whi-two for example as an actual name to call, thank god we have Rosa, Sun & Moon is still acceptable too.--[[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 05:10, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

I never said Helio and Selene weren't acceptable. They're just isn't as much evidence for them. Sun is the name used in the demo. It is also the name used in the manga. Are these the most reliable sources? No, but they're the closest things to an official source we have. Unlike previous games, they don't appear as NPCs when we choose the opposite gender, so we can't rely on the games themselves. As for Moon, that is the name used in the manga for the female character, and Moon is the opposite of Sun, so it fits. [[User:Toolen|Toolen]] ([[User talk:Toolen|talk]]) 05:52, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
:Never go with the Adventures manga for the games' player characters' official names, they use the name of the games themselves for those characters, (with only two exceptions, but their names are quite close to their games' title, only missing a couple of letters). The female protagonist that appears with the Rotom hasn't been named yet in the manga (though likely it will be Moon), and they might pull a twist again like in the Diamond and Pearl chapter.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]05:59, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Considering the history up until this point, it's a safe bet it will be Moon.

I´d like to know a little more about it(principally because i started to play in this generation), it may help us resolve the problem, to get it even worse it doesn´t sound like the female character at least will appear in the anime just like Leaf, Yellow and Hilda(and Rosa but at least she appearred in the trailer).-- [[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 07:20, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
:The twist in DP is that they left Platinum nameless, referred only as Lady, during their trip up until the point when the Platinum game version was announced. Which by that point they official gave her that name.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]08:24, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Despite being obvious i didn´t realize that was happening that time, it´s impressive, but i don´t think it will be a twist like that one this time, i think the only reason they did this is because DP manga would lack a female main character.-- [[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 20:03, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

It looks like we're going to have to do what we did with Kris and Leaf: use the most commonly used name amongst fans and/or the placeholder names on the games's ROM. I'm pretty sure that the placeholder names are Sun for the boy and Moon for the girl, which are also the most common names I've found when searching the web.

In fact, the most common names is ヨウ and ミヅキ in Pixiv. If you search for サン and ムーン in Pixiv, you will not be able to find any pictures lol (I guess this is because the new story in Pokemon Special is not yet clear)

And the search for ヨウ and ミヅキ in Google will also find plenty of pictures.

I think this is different from Calem and Serena's case, since the Japanese version is called X/Y and the US version is called Xavier/Yvonne.

And Moon's name has not yet been mentioned in Pokemon Special just because she has not yet introduced herself. This does not mean anything. [[User:E9310103838|E9310103838]] ([[User talk:E9310103838|talk]]) 16:10, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Why don't we call Sun/Moon's player characters Kai (boy) and Lana (girl)? That's apparently what unused data inside the game calls them, according to their pages. Interestingly enough, that would be the first time two major characters shared the same name (Lana the Trial Captain and Lana the Player Character), both of which were introduced in the same game. [[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 06:53, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

:Two pages cannot share the same title. It'd also be far more confusing to say "{{ga|Sun|Kai}}/{{ga|Moon|Lana}} can battle [[Lana]] at [[Brooklet Hill]]."

:: Technically, they wouldn't have the same title. One page would be titled Lana (Trial Captain) and the other Lana (Player Character), like how some characters have their (Anime), (Adventures) and (Game) pages.

::: "{{ga|Sun|Kai}}/{{ga|Moon|Lana}} can battle [[Trial Captain|Captain]] [[Lana]] at [[Brooklet Hill]]." I'm not sure about 'Sun' and 'Moon' anymore... using unofficial names for characters who ''do'' have names from internal game data, even if one of them is shared with another character, I don't think that's very encyclopedic. People share names, even in Pokémon. While I get the confusion point, I don't think there would be a big problem in this case – most instances would refer to Captain anyway, as the alternate player character doesn't exist as an NPC this generation and, most times, when we're referring to the player character, we just say "the player". - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] ([[User talk:Taylor|talk]]) 01:28, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

::::The names Sun and Moon are not "unofficial"; the names were used officially throughout the pre-release period.
::::[http://imgur.com/POOZDb8 http://i.imgur.com/Yxcj4PN.png]
::::The {{bp|manual of style}} also states that titles should use the "English names of characters", and while Sun and Moon have been officially used in English, カイ and ラナ have not. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 02:35, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

:::::While pre-release promotional material shouldn't take precedence over in-game data and, as the last user mentioned, demos are unreliable, you do have a good point about English usage. (I was curious, even; does the unused data definitely include only Japanese names or were other languages simply not found as of yet?) - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] ([[User talk:Taylor|talk]]) 09:12, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

::::::Where the Japanese text contains the two names, the English text has blanks in those spots. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 13:57, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

I know we don't just go with what the Japanese fans use, but they seem to accept Yō and Mizuki (the Japanese equivalents of Elio and Selene) as the official names, as I believe has been mentioned here. But these are just names used in trailers, aren't they? [[User:Ratcicle Fan|Ratcicle Fan]] ([[User talk:Ratcicle Fan|talk]]) 14:54, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Aren't the names Elio and Selene as close to official as Sun and Moon? I really don't see why we go with Sun and Moon when the games abandoned the gimmick of naming protagonists after versions ages ago. - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] ([[User talk:Ericss|talk]]) 17:53, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

:Gen VII's biggest focus (aside from abandoning HMs and introducing Z-Moves) is more or less pulling old fans back in by cashing in on nostalgia. Sure, old trends were abandoned, but that just leaves room to reintroduce older trends that were long forgotten, like naming the protagonists after the games. --[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 07:03, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be worth noting on both of the character's pages that their names being Moon and Sun are not official similar to how it was stated on both Leaf and Kris' pages? If I recall, both of those pages explain them being fan names and where they come from, but both Moon and Sun's pages only explain where they come from. [[User:TrainerSplash|TrainerSplash]] ([[User talk:TrainerSplash|talk]]) 22:56, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
:Sun and Moon aren't fan names. They were officially used in promotional material. The debate in this section is over ''which'' official name to use, not ''whether'' one or the other is wholly unofficial.

== Black and White, Black 2 and White 2 ==

So in the newest Pokemon Genrations Hilbert is seen with Zekrom meaning he is the hero of White. Yes I know the protagonists that appear in the show are supposed to represent the average player but so do the playable characters. So is he? That means that Hilda and Rosa are the heroes of Black and Black 2 and Hilbert and Nate are the heroes of White and White 2. Or is it opposite genders? Hilda and Nate, Hilbert and Rosa? {{unsigned|Sun & Moon}}

:...It's both of them. Generations doesn't line up completely with the games' canon. [[User:TechSkylander1518|TechSkylander1518]] ([[User talk:TechSkylander1518|talk]]) 05:20, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Two years ago, another member (Tester) suggested above that we list the player characters like this. I updated the table with Sun and Moon, and would like to suggest it as well. I think it looks better than the current set-up.

== Re-evaluation of Sun/Moon vs. Ellio/Selene ==

Before, it was only pre-release material. Now, Figma is using Selene as the name of their Pokemon figure. It's licensed products now. But this isn't even my main point. My main point is the '''Japanese names'''.
Serena and Callem were named Xavier and Yvonne in pre-release. Brendan and May were named Orlando and Anna in the ORAS demo. Ellio and Selene are named Sun and Moon in the SM demo. But whenever those names appeared, what was used in the Japanese version of the trailers and demos?

Xavier and Yvonne = X and Y, for the games X and Y

Orlando and Anna = Omega and Alpha, for the games Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Sun and Moon = Sun and Moon, for the games Sun and Moon

The last two times we had conflicting official names, the '''ones named after the games''' in the Japanese version of wherever it came from were '''always wrong'''. [[User:ArtistKyurem|ArtistKyurem]] ([[User talk:ArtistKyurem|talk]]) 23:16, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

== Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee Player Characters ==

So since these games are [https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/29/17407414/pokemon-nintendo-switch-lets-go-pikachu-version-eevee-version confirmed to be Yellow remakes by Masuda himself], and these player characters share many design similarities to both Red and Leaf's Generation 1 and 3 designs, should we open up a discussion about the possibility of these being Red and Leaf (albeit from an alternate timeline, since they're both obviously older by the events of USUM)? Not saying we have to make a decision right now, since we only just got our first look at the game last night, but at least open up the discussion. [[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 00:11, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

:They're not remakes like OmegaRuby is to Ruby, they're their own thing that's '''inspired''' by Yellow. I don't think they're supposed to be Red and Leaf and the Rival is also not Blue, they're designed after them, similarly how Ash is also designed after Red I suppose. (The protagonists look like younger versions of the Pokémon Go protagonists I think actually) These games are their own thing separate from the other games continuity. That's how it looks to me at least at the moment. [[User:DanyyelTR|DanyyelTR]] ([[User talk:DanyyelTR|talk]]) 13:40, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

:Whether these three characters are [[Red (game)|Red]], [[Leaf (game)|“Leaf”]] (the quotation marks indicate that it's a fan-designation in lieu of an official name), and [[Blue (game)|Blue]] will depend on whether [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are either (1) a timeline-wise remake of [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (just like [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] (correction by [[User:SilSinn9801|SilSinn (Pokémon Sun Trainer ID: 768426)]] ([[User talk:SilSinn9801|talk]]) 19:01, 27 August 2018 (UTC)) were a remake of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]) or (2) sort of a “sequel” to the events of R/B/Y/FR/LG:
:# If LGP/LGE are indeed a split remake of Yellow (and thus, timeline alternates to RB/FRLG), then the male PC would be a new (somewhat younger) version of Red while the female PC would be either a new (younger) version of “Leaf” or a brand-new girl (just like [[Lyra (game)|Lyra]] replaced [[Kris (game)|“Kris”]] when [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions]], along with elements from [[Pokémon Crystal Version]], were remade into [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]), while the rival would be a redesigned Blue.
:# If, on the other hand, LGP/LGE are a “sequel” to the RBY/FRLG narrative, then the two protagonists (and the rival) would have to be brand-new characters with brand-new names.
:Either case, we'll have to see if, when choosing one gender as the PC, the opposite gender shows up as an NPC ally or semi-rival. Only then we could get to see their official names and, also, see if they are the same characters from FR/LG (Red, Blue, and “Leaf” with possibly an official name) or brand-new characters. So, to be safe, let's wait until the games are released, then we can either play the games under both scenarios (male PC with female NPC, and female PC with male NPC) or allow the data miners to find out their official NPC names (along with any unused names still lingering in the data).

:Hello everyone, I'm learning that there are some discussions about the LGPE player character's name. In one edit the names "Chase" and "Elaine" have been added, claiming they were revealed them during the E3, but in the following edit they have been deleted. Thing is the spanish [[WikiDex]] has already written the articles "Chase" and "Elaine", so what is happening? I'm a [[Pokémon Central Wiki]] editor and admin and I've got this page in my watchlist.[[User:Orion919303|Orion919303]] ([[User talk:Orion919303|talk]]) 15:58, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

::But, at length... Claims must be verifiable. The user claimed it was mentioned at E3, and the best source I found was an almost hour long video. I'm not going to sit around for nearly an hour to try to find that one piece of info; I tried to listen a bit and jump to different parts, but I didn't hear it.

:::I have not checked the video, but if such names indeed were mentioned or even used in-game as player names (not NPC), then perhaps they were used for the same reasons as Blair/Whitlea, Xavier/Yvonne, Orlando/Anna, Elio/Selene, and Ray/Ailey. In other words, unless such names appear also as NPC names, they cannot be taken for now as official/canon names. (Because it is also possible that they are new retcons of Red and "Leaf".)

== Marking fan-designated names with tooltip asterisks ==

Is it OK if, in the player characters tables, I mark the names Sun, Kris, Leaf, and Moon with tooltip asterisks to indicate that they are fan-designated names in the absence of official names? It would look like this:

I hope this doesn't block me from modifying the tables because I am just appending useful notes to the names Sun and Moon rather than replacing them altogether with different names. For now, I will go ahead and add the tooltips to Kris and Leaf and, if I get approval to add them to Sun and Moon, I would do so.

Is anybody really reading this? I posed a rather simple question, and nobody seems to answer it. It's been almost two months and I am tired of waiting. If by October 1 nobody answers the question I posed above, then I would have to go ahead and incorporate the useful tooltips I proposed above.

Preferably do it when the trainer's name is announced (I'm not sure if they are already). Also, please don't add a second "Why have you not read this" section since it comes across as being quite rude. Someone will find it eventually. '''Ice''' [[User talk:The IceCream|Cream]] 20:02, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
:I don't think they will ever announce official names for the Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon player characters since they are now devoting their energies towards LetsGo Pika/Eevee. So the provisional, fan-designated names Sun/Moon will have to remain for now, hence why I thought of indicating so with tooltip asterisks on the character tables (just like I did for Kris and Leaf), but nobody (not even an admin) has told me if putting such tooltips on Sun/Moon amounts to unauthorized editing resulting in an automatic block. Hence why I am desperate for an answer. [[User:SilSinn9801|SilSinn (Pokémon Sun Trainer ID: 768426)]] ([[User talk:SilSinn9801|talk]]) 01:41, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

:::With all due respect and courtesy, I do not know if you read my long question above in full, but I never asked about adding tooltips to the LetsGo trainers (I only asked about Sun/Moon; the LetsGo characters will have to wait until the games are released and possibly data-mined, if that is even possible in Switch). As for contacting an admin, I had already done so almost a month ago (2 September 2018 to be exact), when I wrote [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] regarding the matter. And I am still waiting for his/her answer.

But I don't blame you for removing my tooltips - I'd rather blame mobile browsers' lack of tooltip support for their demise.

But at least my proposed tooltip-savvy tables still live on - not in the article itself as I hoped, but at least in this talk page, above this thread.

Kidburla:

Hi, I'm Adam. I joined Bulbapedia in 2007.

I'm 33 at time of writing, I live in London and I work in the financial services industry. My favourite Pokémon is {{p|Piplup}}. My favourite region is [[Hoenn]] (controversial?) My favourite episode [[User:Kidburla#Anime|so far]] is [[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]. My least favourite is [[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]. My rival character name (in games which support it) is Bryn (whose real-life namesake hates Pokémon, but that's as good a reason as any to name my rival after him).

==Pokémon status==

(last updated 27/10/2018)

This covers all the main games I have played, except for Blue (because I don't know where the cartridge is and may have even been sold at some point) and FireRed (because my progress through the game was so little that it's not even worth putting here).

All the Pokémon in the above team were trained from eggs (i.e. from level 1 right up to 86), apart from Braviary, due to the inability to catch Ditto before the postgame in this game, and the fact that all Braviary/Rufflet are male. Braviary was trained from a Rufflet caught at level 34 on [[Unova Route 10]].

==My history with Pokémon: falling in and out of love==

===Phase 1: 2000-2001===

I first got into Pokémon in early 2000, in between the release of Red/Blue and Yellow in Europe. At the time I owned a Game Boy and bought a copy of Blue as all my friends had Red. Since that time, I've been always much more drawn to the "second version" (Silver, Sapphire, LeafGreen, Pearl and SoulSilver) though obviously I'll go for the third version when possible. Anyway at the time I was in my early teens and I bought some books about Pokémon which I still own now. I never really "got" Pokémon Yellow and didn't realise until years later that it was supposed to be based on the anime. No one I knew actually bought Yellow Version. I think the main thing I remember about Kanto (although we didn't call it that then, it was just "the world") was exploring. There was one guy in my school class who knew absolutely everything and where all the underground tunnels came out. I still to this day get mixed up in Kanto between Diglett's Cave and Rock Tunnel.

===Phase 2: 2003 approx===

By the time Gold/Silver had come out, I had kind of given up on Pokémon. I'd got to the Elite Four on my copy of Blue but never had managed to beat them. I remember loading up a downloaded ROM of Silver, getting the Pokégear and thinking just how complicated they had made it. I found it pretty confusing and no one had ever properly explained it to me so I kind of left it once more.

===Phase 3: 2004-2005===

Around the time FireRed/LeafGreen were released, I became interested in the franchise again as they were remaking the games I had loved so much as a teenager. This was in mid-2004 and there was a lot of hype around the games. This was the first time that I even heard about Crystal, Ruby or Sapphire as I had been out of touch with the franchise for so long. I was most excited by the wireless capability, the VS Seeker, the help feature and the Sevii Islands. After LeafGreen came out, I bought a Game Boy Advance and a copy of the game. However this was a fairly short fad, and within 6 months I had sold my Game Boy Advance as I was short on cash. I had only reached Cinnabar Island on LeafGreen at the time, and so had not even got close to the heights of before.

===Phase 4: 2008-2009===

Finally I got back into Pokémon in early 2008. I was doing a very boring job to fill in time before I had a big contract piece starting up later in the year. In my lunch breaks I was often bored. However I discovered that my mobile phone (the Nokia N95) had the facility to run a Game Boy Advance emulator. I proceeded to buy one (namely vBagX) and I started to play LeafGreen again in my lunchbreaks, starting from scratch obviously. This time, I did get to the Sevii islands and really enjoyed it. It was only here that I discovered some features of these games such as abilities and held items that I hadn't really cottoned onto in 2004. Afterwards I played FireRed, with the aim to have at least seen all 151 creatures in the dex, but got bored and quit this game around the Pokémon Mansion point.

Itching for a challenge, and not wanting to return to Generation II graphics, I decided that my next game would be Emerald Version. If you've been following the above then you'll know that all 4 of the instances I'd played before were set in Kanto, so I knew Kanto pretty well, but looked forward to the whole new region of Hoenn to explore. Emerald was a big part of my life until well into 2009. I learnt a lot about the franchise in this time, including generation mechanics, stats and all sorts. In playing Emerald I planned my strategy a lot more carefully than in the earlier games I'd played, in terms of evolution levels and so on. In June 2009 I bought a Nintendo DS and a copy of Pokémon Platinum Version. However only a couple of weeks afterwards, my attention drifted to other things.

===Phase 5: 2009-2011===

In October 2009 I got back into the franchise for the 5th time, playing Platinum Version as my main game. I started off trying to write a blog covering my experiences in Sinnoh, but soon gave that up. You can find the blog [http://sinnoh-adventure.blogspot.com/ here]. Soon afterwards, I became interested in the anime. I'd never watched the anime before because I couldn't get past how childish it was, but I think I've got over that now and enjoy seeing it and the references to the games. I'm currently still playing Platinum. I bought SoulSilver on the day it came out (March 26th in the UK) but didn't properly started playing it yet for a long time...but was really looking forward to that as I'd never properly played a game set in Johto, and hardly knew anything about that region. I did, however, create my character during the Mew event, just so I could download Mew (grr at Nintendo for not making it available to players of Platinum). I continued playing through 2010, and in particular I kept up with all the hype around Generation V. I don't quite know when this phase ended, although I do know that I attended an event in London in February 2011, where I obtained the Winter 2011 Celebi. I imagine it was around that time that I lost interest again.

===Phase 6: 2011-2012===

I don't know whether it was towards the end of the previous phase or towards the start of this one that I switched to SoulSilver Version as my main game. Having done almost everything possible in Platinum (except for obtaining all those Battle Frontier Prints, which I never felt motivated to do), I moved to finally start my adventure in Johto. I don't really keep records but I did keep records of all my Elite Four matches and I can see that there were no matches between 13/06/2012 and 21/10/2012 so I imagine I took a bit of a break then.

===Phase 7: 2012===

Well I know I started playing the Elite Four again on 21/10/2012 as noted above, and finally beat them on 30/10/2012. Beyond that, I don't have many other details about this phase of my journey.

===Phase 8: 2013===

Second half of 2013 - I had a scheme with three friends to all start FRLG from the beginning and battle each other as we went along. This time, I was playing FireRed version, but on a real cartridge this time of course! I forgot how annoying it was to not have Dark type Pokémon (before the Elite Four anyway). There is no type super-effective against Ghost types except Ghost itself. Of course, some non-Ghost Pokémon can learn Ghost moves, but this still did not make it all better for me. Sorry to all you Gen1ers out there! Of which I was also one once, but this just annoyed me. This project was also somewhat ruined by the fact that three of the four of us had full-time jobs whereas the fourth member of our group was a teacher on his school holidays, and was able to make progress a lot faster than the rest of us. This kind of ruined the race, and the whole project petered out after only a few months. This phase of my journey was largely independent, and I don't remember learning that much about X&Y versions or spending any more time on SoulSilver Version during this time.

===Phase 9: 2016-2017===

I don't know how my love of Pokémon just suddenly awakens without warning, but it did again fairly recently, around the middle of February 2016 - I even have the approximate date as 15th or 16th! In the second half of 2015, I spent a lot of time playing and finally 100% completing a game of Banjo-Kazooie, one of my favourite platforming games. After that, I felt a bit lost as to what to play next, trying a few different games but not finding anything which really captured my attention. It wasn't until mid-February that I realised that Pokémon was the perfect solution to my problem and I suddenly felt a desire to engage with the franchise again!

My first goal was to get SoulSilver Version out again and figure out where I was up to. This took some doing - even though I had a lot of old notes scribbled down, I couldn't make sense of a lot of them! After that, I started playing White Version, from the beginning (trading my event exclusive Pokémon from that save to Black 2 which I had also already purchased).

This phase was also characterized by following some Pokétubers. I never really saw YouTube as a means to engage with the Pokémon community in earlier phases, but I started to watch a lot of theory, speculation, Let's Play and other videos. Around this time I was getting excited by Pokémon GO and Sun/Moon, so the hype around those will kept me hooked until at least the time they came out! Of course I had a lot of catching up to do in terms of knowledge as well. Things like Mega-Evolution, I had never even heard of!! And I didn't know many of the Gen5 or any of the Gen6 Pokémon, let alone Gen7.

This phase ended in late 2017 when I became busy with some other things and decided to take a break from Pokémon to give myself more time. At the time it was supposed to only be for a few weeks, but ended up lasting months.

===Phase 10: 2018-Present===

I resumed playing Pokémon around September or October 2018. This was not so much because I was less busy, but just because some other circumstances limited my ability to do certain tasks, so I had more time available to play Pokémon. When I resumed White version, I was very close to the end of the game, so just needed to complete the last things like completing my exploration of the east side of the map, catching the remaining sages, defeating Cynthia, and finally getting to battle and defeat Alder! In particular for the sage mission, I was very "purist", not looking up their locations on Bulbapedia or other websites, but literally going back to Nuvema Town and re-exploring the map from scratch until I found all of them. I even went into every building, as I thought some of them may be in buildings (they weren't). My favourite one was Rood, living on the island that is confusingly called "Route 18" in Unova (I wish they had given this island a proper name!)

After completing White version on 26th October 2018, I immediately started playing the Virtual Console version of Yellow. Even though this was after Let's Go had been announced (but before release), this is just a coincidence and I had planned for a long time to play Yellow in between BW and B2W2.

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! ---- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 00:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

== Psst ==

News says Serebii said. Serebii might be right, but until we get something from TPCi that says definitively, AKA the games themselves, we don't go moving stuff. Redirects are a pain. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 10:07, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
:Hmm, I didn't notice Serebii was the only source. You're more paranoid (aka observant) than me then! I just take it for granted that anything Bulbanews says is true, but should know better after the twitter scandal last year! I do think this Gen V thing is a bit over the top though - I noticed you'd not allowed Gen V to be split off as a separate article following last Friday's announcement. We already know from the press release that these games will introduce new Pokémon; what more do we need before we can "officially" report that it is Generation V?

== Linking player characters' names ==

Just so you know, whenever you're linking to a {{player}} character, it's important to use the <nowiki>{{ga}}</nowiki> template, because not doing so will leave behind redirects. For example, <nowiki>{{ga|Elio}}</nowiki> is the correct usage, not simply <nowiki>[[Elio]]</nowiki>. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:05, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

:Okay thanks, I'll try to remember that. I can never remember all the templates we use on bulba. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 13:49, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Unova Route 18

'''Route 18''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|１８番道路|１８ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 18'') is a route in southeastern [[Unova]], connected to {{rt|17|Unova}} and is the final numbered route of Unova in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Geography==
Route 18 is a mountain-like route littered with {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, [[item]]s, and [[wild Pokémon]]. The majority of the route, away from the coast, rests upon plateaus of varying heights. The player can reach the top of these plateaus via staircase.

After traversing the fast currents, the sea calms and a small beach can be accessed. A series of cliffs stand on this island, the top reachable by several sets of steps. Atop the cliff is a house, some grassy patches and a few Trainers. Another beach, to the north of the island, can also be reached, as well as another to the west. By threading their way westwards through the currents on {{rt|17|Unova}} players can reach the north-eastern part of the island. Here there is another beach and the route's only patch of {{DL|Tall_grass|dark grass}}.

In the house, there are two Treasure Hunters. In Black and White, a {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}} in the house will give the player a {{p|Larvesta}} {{pkmn|Egg}}. The female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} in the same house will heal the player's Pokémon. A [[Item maniac#Rare Bone maniac|shady man]] will buy [[Rare Bone]]s from the player for {{pdollar}}10000.

In Black and White, after defeating [[Ghetsis]], [[Rood]] of the [[Seven Sages]] can be found and arrested here.

In Black 2 and White 2, [[Crasher Wake]] is found here. In these games, a [[Hidden Grotto]] is also located near the stairs on the west side of the route.

==In the TCG==
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Unova Route 18 in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

{{Cardlist/header|Related cards|Fire|char=yes}}

{{cardlist/footer|Fire}}

==Trivia==
* Route 18 is one of only three numbered routes in the [[Pokémon world]] that is a dead end, the others being {{rt|25|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]] and {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]].
** The other two routes are at least going somewhere, like a traditional route. Route 25 goes to Bill's house, and Route 224 goes to the white rock. However Unova's "Route 18" is basically just a single island. It is not known why this island was called a "route" rather than being given an actual name.
** Route 224 in Sinnoh is not a dead end if the player has Oak's Letter; if so, the route acts as a gateway to Seabreak Path.

Kidburla: /* Usage */

The following is documentation for using {{Template|Party}} to display detailed info on Trainers and their Pokémon.

==Party==
The Party template creates a standalone table displaying one Trainer battle (single or double) and their Pokémon. The table displays more detailed information about the Trainer's Pokémon than the [[Template:Trainerheader/doc|Trainer templates]].

===Usage===
Party takes 25 parameters.

Parameters:
* color: Color scheme template. This is the dominant background color of the table. It should match the Trainer's Pokémon team type (example:<nowiki>{{fire color}}</nowiki>). It can also be another color template where applicable (example:<nowiki>{{ruby color}}</nowiki>). Note that this color is typically lighter than the bordercolor parameter.
* bordercolor: Color scheme template. The border color for the table. Should correspond to the color parameter, typically a darker version of the same color (example:<nowiki>{{fire color dark}}</nowiki>).
* headcolor: Color scheme template. The background color of the header segment of the table. Typically lighter than the color parameter (example:<nowiki>{{fire color light}}</nowiki>).
* sprite: Image sprite for Trainer 1. Should be the filename written in plain text. Applies regardless of tag parameter.
* prize: Amount of prize money for defeating opponent(s). Should include unit template before value (example:<nowiki>{{PDollar}}510</nowiki>).
* class: Name of class of Trainer 1. Applies regardless of tag parameter. Do not include a link here.
* name: Name of Trainer 1. Applies regardless of tag parameter.
* game: Game this Trainer is in.
** Preset parameters are: RG, RGB, RGBY, Y, GS, GSC, C, Ru, Sa, RS, RuSa, RSE, RE, SE, E, FRLG, FL, DP, DPP, DPPt, Pt, HGSS, HS, PtHGSS, Bl, W, BW, Colo, XD, PBR
** Manual links are also possible, but this is not preferred.
* location: Link to Trainer location. Do not include a link here.
* locationname: Text to display for location. This is very useful for routes, for example.
* pokemon: Number of pokemon this Trainer is carrying.

* tag: 'yes' or 'no' specifying if this is a double battle. Default is no.
* headcolor1: Color scheme template. Only applicable when tag parameter is yes. Specifies Trainer 1's background color.
* headcolor2: Color scheme template. Only applicable when tag parameter is yes. Specifies Trainer 2's background color.
* color1: Color scheme template. Background color for Trainer 1's pokemon. Only applies if tag parameter is yes.
* color2: Color scheme template. Background color for Trainer 2's pokemon. Only applies if tag parameter is yes.
* class2: Name of class of Trainer 1. Only applies if tag parameter is yes. Do not include a link here.
* name2: Name of Trainer 2. Only applies if tag parameter is yes.
* sprite2: Image sprite for Trainer 2. Should be a text filename complete with file ending type. Only applies if tag parameter is yes.

* pokemon1: {{template|Pokémon}} for Pokémon 1.
* pokemon2: {{template|Pokémon}} for Pokémon 2.
* pokemon3: {{template|Pokémon}} for Pokémon 3.
* pokemon4: {{template|Pokémon}} for Pokémon 4.
* pokemon5: {{template|Pokémon}} for Pokémon 5.
* pokemon6: {{template|Pokémon}} for Pokémon 6.
** Note that it is preferred to directly use a subtemplate of {{template|Pokémon}} than to use the gen parameter. The subtemplates are named Pokémon/Generation number (example: {{template|Pokémon/3}}). Currently, some things are broken if you use the gen parameter, for example monotyped Pokémon will show up as dual-typed with the second type as "Unknown", which is not the case when you use the subtemplate.

Kidburla: /* Usage */

The following is documentation for using {{Template|Party}} to display detailed info on Trainers and their Pokémon.

==Party==
The Party template creates a standalone table displaying one Trainer battle (single or double) and their Pokémon. The table displays more detailed information about the Trainer's Pokémon than the [[Template:Trainerheader/doc|Trainer templates]].

===Usage===
Party takes 25 parameters.

Parameters:
* color: Color scheme template. This is the dominant background color of the table. It should match the Trainer's Pokémon team type (example:<nowiki>{{fire color}}</nowiki>). It can also be another color template where applicable (example:<nowiki>{{ruby color}}</nowiki>). Note that this color is typically lighter than the bordercolor parameter.
* bordercolor: Color scheme template. The border color for the table. Should correspond to the color parameter, typically a darker version of the same color (example:<nowiki>{{fire color dark}}</nowiki>).
* headcolor: Color scheme template. The background color of the header segment of the table. Typically lighter than the color parameter (example:<nowiki>{{fire color light}}</nowiki>).
* sprite: Image sprite for Trainer 1. Should be the filename written in plain text. Applies regardless of tag parameter.
* prize: Amount of prize money for defeating opponent(s). Should include unit template before value (example:<nowiki>{{PDollar}}510</nowiki>).
* class: Name of class of Trainer 1. Applies regardless of tag parameter. Do not include a link here.
* name: Name of Trainer 1. Applies regardless of tag parameter.
* game: Game this Trainer is in.
** Preset parameters are: RG, RGB, RGBY, Y, GS, GSC, C, Ru, Sa, RS, RuSa, RSE, RE, SE, E, FRLG, FL, DP, DPP, DPPt, Pt, HGSS, HS, PtHGSS, Bl, W, BW, Colo, XD, PBR
** Manual links are also possible, but this is not preferred.
* location: Link to Trainer location. Do not include a link here.
* locationname: Text to display for location. This is very useful for routes, for example.
* pokemon: Number of pokemon this Trainer is carrying.

* tag: 'yes' or 'no' specifying if this is a double battle. Default is no.
* headcolor1: Color scheme template. Only applicable when tag parameter is yes. Specifies Trainer 1's background color.
* headcolor2: Color scheme template. Only applicable when tag parameter is yes. Specifies Trainer 2's background color.
* color1: Color scheme template. Background color for Trainer 1's pokemon. Only applies if tag parameter is yes.

* class2: Name of class of Trainer 1. Only applies if tag parameter is yes. Do not include a link here.
* name2: Name of Trainer 2. Only applies if tag parameter is yes.
* sprite2: Image sprite for Trainer 2. Should be a text filename complete with file ending type. Only applies if tag parameter is yes.

* pokemon1: {{template|Pokémon}} for Pokémon 1.

== Usage? ==

Is this supposed to be used for individual NPC trainers? That's what I assumed when I [[User:Shadowtrooper/Silph Co. R&D|tried it out]] anyway. - [[User:Shadowtrooper|Shadowtrooper]][[Image:Master Ball III.png]][[User talk:Shadowtrooper|Talk]] 21:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, it is. I dunno what we're doing, though, we have several party templates and lists floating around... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 22:47, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

== Abilities ==

I know that this template has a field for abilities, because I saw it [[Lt. Surge#Pok.C3.A9mon_FireRed_and_LeafGreen|here]]. But how do I put abilities? I failed at doing it [[Bulbapedia:Sandbox#Pok.C3.A9mon_FireRed_and_LeafGreen|here]]. --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 13:04, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
:<nowiki>|ability1={{a|Static}}</nowiki>
:You'll need to link abilities with their template [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 13:08, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
::I tried that but it didn't work. --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 13:17, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Looking at it, you had Generation set to 2. Abilities will appear when you set it to 3 or higher. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 09:51, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

== UPGRADED ==

Now must be used with the {{template|Pokémon}} template. This is just the header for the Trainer. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:47, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

== Standard Usage ==

I've been perusing the various trainer-related templates and I have to say that this one is awesome. It should totally be the standard over the trainerheader/trainerentry templates. --[[User:PagodaGiftShop|PagodaGiftShop]] 04:53, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

===Description of fields===
*'''Color''' is the main color of the template. If the trainer has a signature type of Pokémon, use '''<nowiki>{{type color}}</nowiki>''', replacing type with the signature type.
*'''Bordercolor''' is the border of the template. If the trainer has a signature type of Pokémon, use '''<nowiki>{{type color dark}}</nowiki>''', replacing type with the signature type.
*'''Headcolor''' is the color where the info about the trainer is placed. If the trainer has a signature type of Pokémon, use '''<nowiki>{{type color light}}</nowiki>''', replacing type with the signature type.
*'''Sprite''' is the sprite of the trainer.
*'''Prize''' is the amount of money received for defeating that trainer.
*'''Class''' is the class of the trainer.
*'''Name''' is the name of the trainer.
*'''Game''' is what game the trainer is from.
*'''Location''' is the location of that trainer. (You can also use '''locationname''' to have different text for the location than the article link - this is very useful for routes, for example.)
*'''Pokemon''' is the number of Pokémon the trainer has. For each Pokémon, After the '''<nowiki>"|pokemon="</nowiki>''' line, use the proper code on [[Template talk:Pokémon]] to edit in the info for each Pokémon.
*'''Pokemon1-6''' is the Pokémon in that specific party slot. Use the {{template|Pokémon}} template in these slots.

== Link to /doc ==

Someone please include a link to the /doc page of this template in a noinclude? Thanks! --[[User:PagodaGiftShop|PagodaGiftShop]] 02:33, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

== Roundy corners. ==

I request that the -moz-border-radius: 10px is changed to <code><nowiki>{{roundy|10px}}</nowiki></code> so every browser is able to see those roundy corners. [[User:Masatoshi|'''聖人''']] [[User talk:Masatoshi|'''''wat''''']] 11:57, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

== Old Template ==
Could there be a way to use the old version of this template (create it under, say, Template:Party/Old)? I think it would be best if we could chose. ----[[User:Zewis29|Zew]][[User:Zewis29/Articles|is]] [[User talk:Zewis29|(2]][[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|9)]] 17:14, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
:Nothing prevents you from going into the history and pulling out the old revision's code, copying it into a different page, and saving it there... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:38, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

== Location Link ==

I wanted to do a party of a character of a fanmade game I made, but the location links to unwritten articles, and I already got warned because of that. What can I do to stop the Location, Game, etc. to link to articles? --[[User:MickBooterhood|'''MickBooterhood''']] 18:30, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
:This question was already answered on a user talk page, but I'll answer it here incase anyone else browsing this page wants to know. You can use "locationname" as a parameter and it will display as the name of the location without affecting the link (the link still comes from "location"). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:47, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

== Rotom's Formes ==

How do you use Rotom's alternate Formes?--[[User:Drlugia|Drlugia]] 14:42, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
:Add the letter for the form after the National Pokédex number. O - oven, W - washing machine, R - refrigerator, F - fan, L -lawnmower. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:19, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks!--[[User:Drlugia|Drlugia]] 15:24, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

== Arceus ==

Is it possible to use Arceus' different formes? [[User:Bulbapedian2187|'''Bulbapedian''']][[User Talk:Bulbapedian2187|'''2187''']] 19:35, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
:Add "-<type>" after "ndex=493". So for Psychic-type Arceus you would have "ndex=493-Psychic". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:43, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

==Template Variant==
Just a thought I had: would it be possible to make a variant of this template for use when the character image is rectangular (i.e. for people's teams in Stadium)? As it is, the rectangular character images mesh poorly with the circular border on said images. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 19:25, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

== Edit request - "game" parameter ==

I would like to add a <nowiki>|BWB2W2=[[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black, White,]] [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, and White 2]]</nowiki> parameter for parties that stay the same between the two version pairs, namely the Subway Brothers. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 23:54, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
:Done. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:23, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

== Tag Battle trainer classes ==

Since the tag battle variety is used for the {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} {{rt|103|Hoenn|rival battles}}, I was thinking it could also be used in the [[Pokéstar Studios]] rental teams. However, while the template allows the omission of the Trainer class parameter for cases such as Generation I parties, but does not allow the same for tag battles. Can this be fixed? - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 14:57, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Nah, it should only be used for tag battles, not gender-based battles. I think those Hoenn rival battles should be separated, despite similarities in teams. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 02:05, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

And when you compare Brenden and May's pages, you will find that their Pokémon except for the starters are different genders. They are the same gender as their trainers, so this tag battle template wouldn't work well for them. Splitting them up. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 02:24, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Plus May had a Torkoal in Rustboro, and Brenden had a Slugma, making the rival battle in [[Rustboro City]] different when you have Torchic. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 02:57, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

== Tag battle opponents with less than three Pokémon ==

While this wasn't a problem in earlier generations as tag battle bosses had three Pokémon, with battles in Kalos such as [[Trevor]] and [[Tierno]] in {{rt|7|Kalos}} and [[Celosia]] and [[Bryony]] in the [[Poké Ball Factory]] it becomes a problem as none of those trainers have three Pokémon. The first trainer ends up claiming ownership of the partner's Pokémon in the template. In cases like these, it is time we need to tweak this template to accommodate trainers with less than three Pokémon. Since it is protected and I don't have sysop privileges, I can only copy and paste. Here's the modified code.

Pretty cool how I managed to make those parties from scratch, huh? Anyway, you can use the code I wrote out for you, right? And if it doesn't work out right, you can tweak the minor errors. --[[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 02:14, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

I have not gotten a response, and the template has not changed yet. We still need to fix the parties of Trevor and Tierno, and Celosia and Bryony in the tag battles. Is this template in anyone's watchlist? [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 00:06, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
:We intend to completely re-work and decommission this template due to its severely inefficient coding. The replacement will have proper compatibility with these sort of tag battles. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:24, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

==Error?==
It looks like the template has a coding problem. '''Y''' means both ''Yellow'' and ''Y'', but when put into a box, it always comes up as ''Yellow''. Or am I viewing it differently? [[User:UxieLover1994|UxieLover1994]] ([[User talk:UxieLover1994|talk]]) 12:33, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
:Y equals Yellow, while X will be both X and Y from what I see. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 16:20, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Kidburla:

Hi, I'm Adam. I joined Bulbapedia in 2007.

I'm 33 at time of writing, I live in London and I work in the financial services industry. My favourite Pokémon is {{p|Breloom}}. My favourite region is [[Hoenn]] (controversial?) My favourite episode [[User:Kidburla#Anime|so far]] is [[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]. My least favourite is [[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]. My rival character name (in games which support it) is Bryn (whose real-life namesake hates Pokémon, but that's as good a reason as any to name my rival after him).

==Pokémon status==

(last updated 27/10/2018)

This covers all the main games I have played, except for Blue (because I don't know where the cartridge is and may have even been sold at some point) and FireRed (because my progress through the game was so little that it's not even worth putting here).

===Pokémon LeafGreen Version (emulated) (2008)===

* Hours played: 75 approx
* Completion: Pretty much everything
* Previously trained (no longer in party): {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Dratini}}

All the Pokémon in the above team were trained from eggs (i.e. from level 1 right up to 86), apart from Braviary, due to the inability to catch Ditto before the postgame in this game, and the fact that all Braviary/Rufflet are male. Braviary was trained from a Rufflet caught at level 34 on [[Unova Route 10]].

==My history with Pokémon: falling in and out of love==

===Phase 1: 2000-2001===

I first got into Pokémon in early 2000, in between the release of Red/Blue and Yellow in Europe. At the time I owned a Game Boy and bought a copy of Blue as all my friends had Red. Since that time, I've been always much more drawn to the "second version" (Silver, Sapphire, LeafGreen, Pearl and SoulSilver) though obviously I'll go for the third version when possible. Anyway at the time I was in my early teens and I bought some books about Pokémon which I still own now. I never really "got" Pokémon Yellow and didn't realise until years later that it was supposed to be based on the anime. No one I knew actually bought Yellow Version. I think the main thing I remember about Kanto (although we didn't call it that then, it was just "the world") was exploring. There was one guy in my school class who knew absolutely everything and where all the underground tunnels came out. I still to this day get mixed up in Kanto between Diglett's Cave and Rock Tunnel.

===Phase 2: 2003 approx===

By the time Gold/Silver had come out, I had kind of given up on Pokémon. I'd got to the Elite Four on my copy of Blue but never had managed to beat them. I remember loading up a downloaded ROM of Silver, getting the Pokégear and thinking just how complicated they had made it. I found it pretty confusing and no one had ever properly explained it to me so I kind of left it once more.

===Phase 3: 2004-2005===

Around the time FireRed/LeafGreen were released, I became interested in the franchise again as they were remaking the games I had loved so much as a teenager. This was in mid-2004 and there was a lot of hype around the games. This was the first time that I even heard about Crystal, Ruby or Sapphire as I had been out of touch with the franchise for so long. I was most excited by the wireless capability, the VS Seeker, the help feature and the Sevii Islands. After LeafGreen came out, I bought a Game Boy Advance and a copy of the game. However this was a fairly short fad, and within 6 months I had sold my Game Boy Advance as I was short on cash. I had only reached Cinnabar Island on LeafGreen at the time, and so had not even got close to the heights of before.

===Phase 4: 2008-2009===

Finally I got back into Pokémon in early 2008. I was doing a very boring job to fill in time before I had a big contract piece starting up later in the year. In my lunch breaks I was often bored. However I discovered that my mobile phone (the Nokia N95) had the facility to run a Game Boy Advance emulator. I proceeded to buy one (namely vBagX) and I started to play LeafGreen again in my lunchbreaks, starting from scratch obviously. This time, I did get to the Sevii islands and really enjoyed it. It was only here that I discovered some features of these games such as abilities and held items that I hadn't really cottoned onto in 2004. Afterwards I played FireRed, with the aim to have at least seen all 151 creatures in the dex, but got bored and quit this game around the Pokémon Mansion point.

Itching for a challenge, and not wanting to return to Generation II graphics, I decided that my next game would be Emerald Version. If you've been following the above then you'll know that all 4 of the instances I'd played before were set in Kanto, so I knew Kanto pretty well, but looked forward to the whole new region of Hoenn to explore. Emerald was a big part of my life until well into 2009. I learnt a lot about the franchise in this time, including generation mechanics, stats and all sorts. In playing Emerald I planned my strategy a lot more carefully than in the earlier games I'd played, in terms of evolution levels and so on. In June 2009 I bought a Nintendo DS and a copy of Pokémon Platinum Version. However only a couple of weeks afterwards, my attention drifted to other things.

===Phase 5: 2009-2011===

In October 2009 I got back into the franchise for the 5th time, playing Platinum Version as my main game. I started off trying to write a blog covering my experiences in Sinnoh, but soon gave that up. You can find the blog [http://sinnoh-adventure.blogspot.com/ here]. Soon afterwards, I became interested in the anime. I'd never watched the anime before because I couldn't get past how childish it was, but I think I've got over that now and enjoy seeing it and the references to the games. I'm currently still playing Platinum. I bought SoulSilver on the day it came out (March 26th in the UK) but didn't properly started playing it yet for a long time...but was really looking forward to that as I'd never properly played a game set in Johto, and hardly knew anything about that region. I did, however, create my character during the Mew event, just so I could download Mew (grr at Nintendo for not making it available to players of Platinum). I continued playing through 2010, and in particular I kept up with all the hype around Generation V. I don't quite know when this phase ended, although I do know that I attended an event in London in February 2011, where I obtained the Winter 2011 Celebi. I imagine it was around that time that I lost interest again.

===Phase 6: 2011-2012===

I don't know whether it was towards the end of the previous phase or towards the start of this one that I switched to SoulSilver Version as my main game. Having done almost everything possible in Platinum (except for obtaining all those Battle Frontier Prints, which I never felt motivated to do), I moved to finally start my adventure in Johto. I don't really keep records but I did keep records of all my Elite Four matches and I can see that there were no matches between 13/06/2012 and 21/10/2012 so I imagine I took a bit of a break then.

===Phase 7: 2012===

Well I know I started playing the Elite Four again on 21/10/2012 as noted above, and finally beat them on 30/10/2012. Beyond that, I don't have many other details about this phase of my journey.

===Phase 8: 2013===

Second half of 2013 - I had a scheme with three friends to all start FRLG from the beginning and battle each other as we went along. This time, I was playing FireRed version, but on a real cartridge this time of course! I forgot how annoying it was to not have Dark type Pokémon (before the Elite Four anyway). There is no type super-effective against Ghost types except Ghost itself. Of course, some non-Ghost Pokémon can learn Ghost moves, but this still did not make it all better for me. Sorry to all you Gen1ers out there! Of which I was also one once, but this just annoyed me. This project was also somewhat ruined by the fact that three of the four of us had full-time jobs whereas the fourth member of our group was a teacher on his school holidays, and was able to make progress a lot faster than the rest of us. This kind of ruined the race, and the whole project petered out after only a few months. This phase of my journey was largely independent, and I don't remember learning that much about X&Y versions or spending any more time on SoulSilver Version during this time.

===Phase 9: 2016-2017===

I don't know how my love of Pokémon just suddenly awakens without warning, but it did again fairly recently, around the middle of February 2016 - I even have the approximate date as 15th or 16th! In the second half of 2015, I spent a lot of time playing and finally 100% completing a game of Banjo-Kazooie, one of my favourite platforming games. After that, I felt a bit lost as to what to play next, trying a few different games but not finding anything which really captured my attention. It wasn't until mid-February that I realised that Pokémon was the perfect solution to my problem and I suddenly felt a desire to engage with the franchise again!

My first goal was to get SoulSilver Version out again and figure out where I was up to. This took some doing - even though I had a lot of old notes scribbled down, I couldn't make sense of a lot of them! After that, I started playing White Version, from the beginning (trading my event exclusive Pokémon from that save to Black 2 which I had also already purchased).

This phase was also characterized by following some Pokétubers. I never really saw YouTube as a means to engage with the Pokémon community in earlier phases, but I started to watch a lot of theory, speculation, Let's Play and other videos. Around this time I was getting excited by Pokémon GO and Sun/Moon, so the hype around those will kept me hooked until at least the time they came out! Of course I had a lot of catching up to do in terms of knowledge as well. Things like Mega-Evolution, I had never even heard of!! And I didn't know many of the Gen5 or any of the Gen6 Pokémon, let alone Gen7.

This phase ended in late 2017 when I became busy with some other things and decided to take a break from Pokémon to give myself more time. At the time it was supposed to only be for a few weeks, but ended up lasting months.

===Phase 10: 2018-Present===

I resumed playing Pokémon around September or October 2018. This was not so much because I was less busy, but just because some other circumstances limited my ability to do certain tasks, so I had more time available to play Pokémon. When I resumed White version, I was very close to the end of the game, so just needed to complete the last things like completing my exploration of the east side of the map, catching the remaining sages, defeating Cynthia, and finally getting to battle and defeat Alder! In particular for the sage mission, I was very "purist", not looking up their locations on Bulbapedia or other websites, but literally going back to Nuvema Town and re-exploring the map from scratch until I found all of them. I even went into every building, as I thought some of them may be in buildings (they weren't). My favourite one was Rood, living on the island that is confusingly called "Route 18" in Unova (I wish they had given this island a proper name!)

After completing White version on 26th October 2018, I immediately started playing the Virtual Console version of Yellow. Even though this was after Let's Go had been announced (but before release), this is just a coincidence and I had planned for a long time to play Yellow in between BW and B2W2.

Kidburla:

Hi, I'm Adam. I joined Bulbapedia in 2007.

I'm 33 at time of writing, I live in London and I work in the financial services industry. My favourite Pokémon is {{p|Breloom}}. My favourite region is [[Hoenn]] (controversial?) My favourite episode [[User:Kidburla#Anime|so far]] is [[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]. My least favourite is [[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]. My rival character name (in games which support it) is Bryn (whose real-life namesake hates Pokémon, but that's as good a reason as any to name my rival after him).

==Pokémon status==

(last updated 27/10/2018)

This covers all the main games I have played, except for Blue (because I don't know where the cartridge is and may have even been sold at some point) and FireRed (because my progress through the game was so little that it's not even worth putting here).

All the Pokémon in the above team were trained from eggs (i.e. from level 1 right up to 86), apart from Braviary, due to the inability to catch Ditto before the postgame in this game, and the fact that all Braviary/Rufflet are male. Braviary was trained from a Rufflet caught at level 34 on [[Unova Route 10]].

==My history with Pokémon: falling in and out of love==

===Phase 1: 2000-2001===

I first got into Pokémon in early 2000, in between the release of Red/Blue and Yellow in Europe. At the time I owned a Game Boy and bought a copy of Blue as all my friends had Red. Since that time, I've been always much more drawn to the "second version" (Silver, Sapphire, LeafGreen, Pearl and SoulSilver) though obviously I'll go for the third version when possible. Anyway at the time I was in my early teens and I bought some books about Pokémon which I still own now. I never really "got" Pokémon Yellow and didn't realise until years later that it was supposed to be based on the anime. No one I knew actually bought Yellow Version. I think the main thing I remember about Kanto (although we didn't call it that then, it was just "the world") was exploring. There was one guy in my school class who knew absolutely everything and where all the underground tunnels came out. I still to this day get mixed up in Kanto between Diglett's Cave and Rock Tunnel.

===Phase 2: 2003 approx===

By the time Gold/Silver had come out, I had kind of given up on Pokémon. I'd got to the Elite Four on my copy of Blue but never had managed to beat them. I remember loading up a downloaded ROM of Silver, getting the Pokégear and thinking just how complicated they had made it. I found it pretty confusing and no one had ever properly explained it to me so I kind of left it once more.

===Phase 3: 2004-2005===

Around the time FireRed/LeafGreen were released, I became interested in the franchise again as they were remaking the games I had loved so much as a teenager. This was in mid-2004 and there was a lot of hype around the games. This was the first time that I even heard about Crystal, Ruby or Sapphire as I had been out of touch with the franchise for so long. I was most excited by the wireless capability, the VS Seeker, the help feature and the Sevii Islands. After LeafGreen came out, I bought a Game Boy Advance and a copy of the game. However this was a fairly short fad, and within 6 months I had sold my Game Boy Advance as I was short on cash. I had only reached Cinnabar Island on LeafGreen at the time, and so had not even got close to the heights of before.

===Phase 4: 2008-2009===

Finally I got back into Pokémon in early 2008. I was doing a very boring job to fill in time before I had a big contract piece starting up later in the year. In my lunch breaks I was often bored. However I discovered that my mobile phone (the Nokia N95) had the facility to run a Game Boy Advance emulator. I proceeded to buy one (namely vBagX) and I started to play LeafGreen again in my lunchbreaks, starting from scratch obviously. This time, I did get to the Sevii islands and really enjoyed it. It was only here that I discovered some features of these games such as abilities and held items that I hadn't really cottoned onto in 2004. Afterwards I played FireRed, with the aim to have at least seen all 151 creatures in the dex, but got bored and quit this game around the Pokémon Mansion point.

Itching for a challenge, and not wanting to return to Generation II graphics, I decided that my next game would be Emerald Version. If you've been following the above then you'll know that all 4 of the instances I'd played before were set in Kanto, so I knew Kanto pretty well, but looked forward to the whole new region of Hoenn to explore. Emerald was a big part of my life until well into 2009. I learnt a lot about the franchise in this time, including generation mechanics, stats and all sorts. In playing Emerald I planned my strategy a lot more carefully than in the earlier games I'd played, in terms of evolution levels and so on. In June 2009 I bought a Nintendo DS and a copy of Pokémon Platinum Version. However only a couple of weeks afterwards, my attention drifted to other things.

===Phase 5: 2009-2011===

In October 2009 I got back into the franchise for the 5th time, playing Platinum Version as my main game. I started off trying to write a blog covering my experiences in Sinnoh, but soon gave that up. You can find the blog [http://sinnoh-adventure.blogspot.com/ here]. Soon afterwards, I became interested in the anime. I'd never watched the anime before because I couldn't get past how childish it was, but I think I've got over that now and enjoy seeing it and the references to the games. I'm currently still playing Platinum. I bought SoulSilver on the day it came out (March 26th in the UK) but didn't properly started playing it yet for a long time...but was really looking forward to that as I'd never properly played a game set in Johto, and hardly knew anything about that region. I did, however, create my character during the Mew event, just so I could download Mew (grr at Nintendo for not making it available to players of Platinum). I continued playing through 2010, and in particular I kept up with all the hype around Generation V. I don't quite know when this phase ended, although I do know that I attended an event in London in February 2011, where I obtained the Winter 2011 Celebi. I imagine it was around that time that I lost interest again.

===Phase 6: 2011-2012===

I don't know whether it was towards the end of the previous phase or towards the start of this one that I switched to SoulSilver Version as my main game. Having done almost everything possible in Platinum (except for obtaining all those Battle Frontier Prints, which I never felt motivated to do), I moved to finally start my adventure in Johto. I don't really keep records but I did keep records of all my Elite Four matches and I can see that there were no matches between 13/06/2012 and 21/10/2012 so I imagine I took a bit of a break then.

===Phase 7: 2012===

Well I know I started playing the Elite Four again on 21/10/2012 as noted above, and finally beat them on 30/10/2012. Beyond that, I don't have many other details about this phase of my journey.

===Phase 8: 2013===

Second half of 2013 - I had a scheme with three friends to all start FRLG from the beginning and battle each other as we went along. This time, I was playing FireRed version, but on a real cartridge this time of course! I forgot how annoying it was to not have Dark type Pokémon (before the Elite Four anyway). There is no type super-effective against Ghost types except Ghost itself. Of course, some non-Ghost Pokémon can learn Ghost moves, but this still did not make it all better for me. Sorry to all you Gen1ers out there! Of which I was also one once, but this just annoyed me. This project was also somewhat ruined by the fact that three of the four of us had full-time jobs whereas the fourth member of our group was a teacher on his school holidays, and was able to make progress a lot faster than the rest of us. This kind of ruined the race, and the whole project petered out after only a few months. This phase of my journey was largely independent, and I don't remember learning that much about X&Y versions or spending any more time on SoulSilver Version during this time.

===Phase 9: 2016-Present===

I don't know how my love of Pokémon just suddenly awakens without warning, but it did again fairly recently, around the middle of February 2016 - I even have the approximate date as 15th or 16th! In the second half of 2015, I spent a lot of time playing and finally 100% completing a game of Banjo-Kazooie, one of my favourite platforming games. After that, I felt a bit lost as to what to play next, trying a few different games but not finding anything which really captured my attention. It wasn't until mid-February that I realised that Pokémon was the perfect solution to my problem and I suddenly felt a desire to engage with the franchise again!

My first goal was to get SoulSilver Version out again and figure out where I was up to. This took some doing - even though I had a lot of old notes scribbled down, I couldn't make sense of a lot of them! I'm still playing SoulSilver Version, having now beaten all the gym leader rematches and am trying to defeat the Elite Four in a rematch!

This phase has also been characterized by following some Pokétubers. I never really saw YouTube as a means to engage with the Pokémon community in earlier phases, but in the last few weeks I have watched a lot of theory, speculation, Let's Play and other videos. I'm excited by Pokémon GO and Sun/Moon, so the hype around those will surely keep me hooked until at least the time they come out! Of course I've had a lot of catching up to do in terms of knowledge as well. Things like Mega-Evolution, I had never even heard of!! And I still don't really know any of the Gen6 Pokémon, even more so than Gen5, even though I haven't played either generation yet. But right now, I'm quite hooked on Pokémon again, and who knows how long this phase will last or where it will lead!!

Kidburla:

Hi, I'm Adam. I joined Bulbapedia in 2007.

I'm 33 at time of writing, I live in London and I work in the financial services industry. My favourite Pokémon is {{p|Breloom}}. My favourite region is [[Hoenn]] (controversial?) My favourite episode [[User:Kidburla#Anime|so far]] is [[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]. My least favourite is [[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]. My rival character name (in games which support it) is Bryn (whose real-life namesake hates Pokémon, but that's as good a reason as any to name my rival after him).

==Pokémon status==

(last updated 27/10/2018)

This covers all the main games I have played, except for Blue (because I don't know where the cartridge is and may have even been sold at some point) and FireRed (because my progress through the game was so little that it's not even worth putting here).

All the Pokémon in the above team were trained from eggs (i.e. from level 1 right up to 86), apart from Braviary, due to the inability to catch Ditto before the postgame in this game, and the fact that all Braviary/Rufflet are male. Braviary was trained from a Rufflet caught at level 34 on [[Unova Route 10]].

==My history with Pokémon: falling in and out of love==

===Phase 1: 2000-2001===

I first got into Pokémon in early 2000, in between the release of Red/Blue and Yellow in Europe. At the time I owned a Game Boy and bought a copy of Blue as all my friends had Red. Since that time, I've been always much more drawn to the "second version" (Silver, Sapphire, LeafGreen, Pearl and SoulSilver) though obviously I'll go for the third version when possible. Anyway at the time I was in my early teens and I bought some books about Pokémon which I still own now. I never really "got" Pokémon Yellow and didn't realise until years later that it was supposed to be based on the anime. No one I knew actually bought Yellow Version. I think the main thing I remember about Kanto (although we didn't call it that then, it was just "the world") was exploring. There was one guy in my school class who knew absolutely everything and where all the underground tunnels came out. I still to this day get mixed up in Kanto between Diglett's Cave and Rock Tunnel.

===Phase 2: 2003 approx===

By the time Gold/Silver had come out, I had kind of given up on Pokémon. I'd got to the Elite Four on my copy of Blue but never had managed to beat them. I remember loading up a downloaded ROM of Silver, getting the Pokégear and thinking just how complicated they had made it. I found it pretty confusing and no one had ever properly explained it to me so I kind of left it once more.

===Phase 3: 2004-2005===

Around the time FireRed/LeafGreen were released, I became interested in the franchise again as they were remaking the games I had loved so much as a teenager. This was in mid-2004 and there was a lot of hype around the games. This was the first time that I even heard about Crystal, Ruby or Sapphire as I had been out of touch with the franchise for so long. I was most excited by the wireless capability, the VS Seeker, the help feature and the Sevii Islands. After LeafGreen came out, I bought a Game Boy Advance and a copy of the game. However this was a fairly short fad, and within 6 months I had sold my Game Boy Advance as I was short on cash. I had only reached Cinnabar Island on LeafGreen at the time, and so had not even got close to the heights of before.

===Phase 4: 2008-2009===

Finally I got back into Pokémon in early 2008. I was doing a very boring job to fill in time before I had a big contract piece starting up later in the year. In my lunch breaks I was often bored. However I discovered that my mobile phone (the Nokia N95) had the facility to run a Game Boy Advance emulator. I proceeded to buy one (namely vBagX) and I started to play LeafGreen again in my lunchbreaks, starting from scratch obviously. This time, I did get to the Sevii islands and really enjoyed it. It was only here that I discovered some features of these games such as abilities and held items that I hadn't really cottoned onto in 2004. Afterwards I played FireRed, with the aim to have at least seen all 151 creatures in the dex, but got bored and quit this game around the Pokémon Mansion point.

Itching for a challenge, and not wanting to return to Generation II graphics, I decided that my next game would be Emerald Version. If you've been following the above then you'll know that all 4 of the instances I'd played before were set in Kanto, so I knew Kanto pretty well, but looked forward to the whole new region of Hoenn to explore. Emerald was a big part of my life until well into 2009. I learnt a lot about the franchise in this time, including generation mechanics, stats and all sorts. In playing Emerald I planned my strategy a lot more carefully than in the earlier games I'd played, in terms of evolution levels and so on. In June 2009 I bought a Nintendo DS and a copy of Pokémon Platinum Version. However only a couple of weeks afterwards, my attention drifted to other things.

===Phase 5: 2009-2011===

In October 2009 I got back into the franchise for the 5th time, playing Platinum Version as my main game. I started off trying to write a blog covering my experiences in Sinnoh, but soon gave that up. You can find the blog [http://sinnoh-adventure.blogspot.com/ here]. Soon afterwards, I became interested in the anime. I'd never watched the anime before because I couldn't get past how childish it was, but I think I've got over that now and enjoy seeing it and the references to the games. I'm currently still playing Platinum. I bought SoulSilver on the day it came out (March 26th in the UK) but didn't properly started playing it yet for a long time...but was really looking forward to that as I'd never properly played a game set in Johto, and hardly knew anything about that region. I did, however, create my character during the Mew event, just so I could download Mew (grr at Nintendo for not making it available to players of Platinum). I continued playing through 2010, and in particular I kept up with all the hype around Generation V. I don't quite know when this phase ended, although I do know that I attended an event in London in February 2011, where I obtained the Winter 2011 Celebi. I imagine it was around that time that I lost interest again.

===Phase 6: 2011-2012===

I don't know whether it was towards the end of the previous phase or towards the start of this one that I switched to SoulSilver Version as my main game. Having done almost everything possible in Platinum (except for obtaining all those Battle Frontier Prints, which I never felt motivated to do), I moved to finally start my adventure in Johto. I don't really keep records but I did keep records of all my Elite Four matches and I can see that there were no matches between 13/06/2012 and 21/10/2012 so I imagine I took a bit of a break then.

===Phase 7: 2012===

Well I know I started playing the Elite Four again on 21/10/2012 as noted above, and finally beat them on 30/10/2012. Beyond that, I don't have many other details about this phase of my journey.

===Phase 8: 2013===

Second half of 2013 - I had a scheme with three friends to all start FRLG from the beginning and battle each other as we went along. This time, I was playing FireRed version, but on a real cartridge this time of course! I forgot how annoying it was to not have Dark type Pokémon (before the Elite Four anyway). There is no type super-effective against Ghost types except Ghost itself. Of course, some non-Ghost Pokémon can learn Ghost moves, but this still did not make it all better for me. Sorry to all you Gen1ers out there! Of which I was also one once, but this just annoyed me. This project was also somewhat ruined by the fact that three of the four of us had full-time jobs whereas the fourth member of our group was a teacher on his school holidays, and was able to make progress a lot faster than the rest of us. This kind of ruined the race, and the whole project petered out after only a few months. This phase of my journey was largely independent, and I don't remember learning that much about X&Y versions or spending any more time on SoulSilver Version during this time.

===Phase 9: 2016-Present===

I don't know how my love of Pokémon just suddenly awakens without warning, but it did again fairly recently, around the middle of February 2016 - I even have the approximate date as 15th or 16th! In the second half of 2015, I spent a lot of time playing and finally 100% completing a game of Banjo-Kazooie, one of my favourite platforming games. After that, I felt a bit lost as to what to play next, trying a few different games but not finding anything which really captured my attention. It wasn't until mid-February that I realised that Pokémon was the perfect solution to my problem and I suddenly felt a desire to engage with the franchise again!

My first goal was to get SoulSilver Version out again and figure out where I was up to. This took some doing - even though I had a lot of old notes scribbled down, I couldn't make sense of a lot of them! I'm still playing SoulSilver Version, having now beaten all the gym leader rematches and am trying to defeat the Elite Four in a rematch!

This phase has also been characterized by following some Pokétubers. I never really saw YouTube as a means to engage with the Pokémon community in earlier phases, but in the last few weeks I have watched a lot of theory, speculation, Let's Play and other videos. I'm excited by Pokémon GO and Sun/Moon, so the hype around those will surely keep me hooked until at least the time they come out! Of course I've had a lot of catching up to do in terms of knowledge as well. Things like Mega-Evolution, I had never even heard of!! And I still don't really know any of the Gen6 Pokémon, even more so than Gen5, even though I haven't played either generation yet. But right now, I'm quite hooked on Pokémon again, and who knows how long this phase will last or where it will lead!!

Royal Unova

The '''Royal Unova''' (Japanese: '''ロイヤルイッシュ{{tt|号|ごう}}''' ''Royal [[Unova|Isshu]]''), referred to as '''Pleasure Boat "Royal Unova"''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|遊覧船|ゆうらんせん}}ロイヤルイッシュ{{tt|号|ごう}}''' ''Pleasure Boat "Royal Isshu"'') in the ''[[Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection]]'', is a ferry that [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|sails]] in the [[Unova]] region. The ship sets sail every day from [[Castelia City]]'s {{DL|Castelia City|Cruise Dock}}. It sets sail in the [[Time|evening]], which starts when day begins visually fading into night and ends when daylight is completely gone. It can be traveled on after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]{{sup/5|BW}} or as soon as the player arrives at Castelia City{{sup/5|B2W2}}. The player can only sail on the ship once per day.

Taking a ride on the ship costs {{pdollar}}1000. The ship leaves Castelia City and journeys up Unova's eastern river, passing the [[Skyarrow Bridge]] as it leaves Castelia City. It then travels up the river to [[Marvelous Bridge]] before turning around and heading back to Castelia City. The boat features a deck allowing the {{player}} to view the sights as the ship travels.

By defeating all Trainers on board the Royal Unova on a given day, the player may win different prizes, depending on the day. These include local specialty foods from other regions as well as [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]].

The Royal Unova can sometimes be seen passing underneath the Skyarrow Bridge while the player crosses the bridge, even if it is not evening when the player does so.

In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Oceanic Museum]] in [[Slateport City]] has a model of the Royal Unova saying that it is currently under construction and will be completed in an unknown amount of years.

==Challenging the Royal Unova==
The Royal Unova may be boarded in the evening, but the times for evening change depending on the season. The times the Royal Unova may be boarded in each season are given below.
{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{unova color dark}}; border: 3px solid #{{unova color}}"

When the player boards the Royal Unova on a given day, they will be informed of the number of Trainers on board the Royal Unova. This number depends on the day.

The same crewmember that tells the player how many Trainers are on board will also remind the player how many Trainers they have defeated, as well as offer to let the player skip the rest of the ship's voyage and disembark immediately. If the player defeats all of the Trainers on board, they will receive one of several prizes depending on the day.

The player is only given a limited amount of time to find all Trainers on board the Royal Unova. This time adds up to 3 minutes, and is marked by 5 blows of the ship's whistle every 45 seconds (including one at the outset of the voyage); when the fifth whistle blows, the voyage is over. Time spent in the [[menu|start menu]], transitioning in and out of rooms, talking to passengers or crew, or in battles does not count towards the ship's timer. The one exception is if the player speaks to a passenger who wants to talk to them for a long time: when these passengers finish speaking, the ship's next whistle will blow immediately, skipping any time that might have been left before it would have blown.

All Trainers on the Royal Unova are found in cabins, but not every passenger in a cabin is a Trainer, even if they may have the same sprite as one of the possible Trainers. Most [[Trainer class]]es of passengers have three different possible variations who will say different things, and one of these variations corresponds to a Trainer who will battle the player. The {{tc|Backers|Backer}}, however, has no Trainer variation, and the {{tc|Maid}} ''only'' has a Trainer variation. For certain Trainer classes, one of the non-Trainer variations may be a lengthy talker. The Trainer class sprites of the passengers that can be talkers are shown below.

Two crewmembers will give the player hints on where they can find the day's Trainers. On the {{wp|port and starboard|port}} (left) side, a crewmember will inform the player how many Trainers are on the port and starboard sides of the ship, while on the starboard (right) side, a crewmember will reveal how many Trainers are behind blue doors. The ship's port side contains 8 rooms, 4 red and 4 blue, while the ship's starboard side contains 7 rooms, 5 red and 2 blue. The crewmembers' hints turn the search for Trainers - while trying to avoid lengthy talkers - into a game of odds and memorization.

==Layout==
The player enters the ship facing in the direction of the ship's {{wp|bow (ship)|bow}}. Directly ahead of the player is a set of stairs leading up to the observation deck, while behind the player is a crew member who welcomes the player on board and tells the player how many Trainers are on board that day. This crew member will also allow the player to skip the remaining journey and immediately disembark if so desired. To the left and right of the player are two sets of passenger rooms, each room containing a single Trainer or NPC. The port (left) side of the ship has eight rooms, four red and four blue, while the starboard (right) side has seven rooms, five red and two blue.

Roaming the halls of the port and starboard sides of the ship are several NPCs - none of whom are Trainers who will battle the player - as well as a few crew members. The stationary crew members closest to the middle of the ship will give the player clues about where to find Trainers. The mobile NPCs may be intended as minor obstacles to the player's speedy navigation of the corridors, as most of their paths are near room doors.

Player's house

2018-10-26T23:35:23Z

Kidburla: add player names for consistency with other regions

[[File:Capsule Monsters Bedroom.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s [[Capsule Monsters|concept sketch]] of a Trainer in their bedroom]]
The '''player's house''' is the building in which the {{player}} lives in their respective games, located in their [[hometown]].

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

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

==Kanto==
{{ga|Red}} lives in this house in all games featuring Kanto, except in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} only, when the female player, {{ga|Leaf}}, can live here instead. It is located in [[Pallet Town]].

===Generations I and III===
The living room downstairs has a TV and a dining table, where the {{ka|Mom|player's mother}} can be found. After the player receives their [[starter Pokémon]], their mother can fully restore the player's Pokémon, just like at a [[Pokémon Center]]. In [[Generation I]], interacting with the TV from either the left or right side will show the message, "''Oops, wrong side.''"

If the player is male ({{ga|Red}}), a movie involving four boys walking on railroad tracks is playing on the TV, possibly a reference to the film {{wp|Stand by Me (film)|Stand by Me}} (this is the same for both Generations I and III). In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, if the player is female ({{ga|Leaf}}), a movie about a girl in pigtails walking down a brick road is playing, possibly a reference to the film {{wp|The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|The Wizard of Oz}}.

In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the bedroom has a [[PC]], a bed, and a [[Television|TV]] with a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] hooked up to it. A {{DL|Potion|Potion}} can be withdrawn from the PC from the start of the game. The PC can also be used as an item storage system like any other PC in the game.

In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the bedroom is essentially a graphically enhanced version of the bedroom from Generation I, except that the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] has been replaced with an {{nw|Nintendo Entertainment System|NES}}. A sign can also be found on the wall by the stairs to the living room, informing the player that pressing the L or R button will bring up the Help feature.

In the Japanese games, the consoles are the original Japanese versions of the NES and SNES, being a {{nw|Famicom|Famicom}} and the {{nw|Super Famicom|Super Famicom}}, respectively.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The first floor features a dining area, a television, and a kitchen.

Both bedrooms feature a TV, a [[Nintendo GameCube]] with a [[Game Boy Advance]] connected as controller{{sup/3|RSE}}/a [[Wii U]] with a Game Pad{{sup/6|ORAS}}, a town map, a notebook with basic control instructions and a clock on the wall, which serves as the only indicator of time in the game.

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

The Hoenn-based games are some of the few games that do not begin with the player in their bedroom, instead beginning in [[Inside of Truck|the back of a moving van]], having moved from the [[region]] of [[Johto]] to [[Hoenn]].

==Orre==
[[File:Michael Bedroom.png|thumb|180px|Michael's bedroom in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the player, [[Wes]], has no set home, as he lived in the [[Snagem Hideout]] prior to the events of the game. Upon completing the game, the player will appear at the [[Outskirt Stand]], the first location visited in the game.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, the player, [[Michael]], has his bedroom located in the western part of [[Pokémon HQ Lab]]. The bed can be used to heal the player's Pokémon, and the player will appear in the room upon completion of the main storyline.

Pokémon XD is one of the few games that does not begin with the player in their bedroom, instead beginning with a single battle in the [[Battle Sims|Battle Sim]].
{{-}}

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

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

The bedroom in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} is the most basic of all the games. There is a TV, Wii and a PC that simply gives basic tips on how to play the game. A sign next to the stairs informs the player how to open the menu.

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

The first floor has a living area and kitchen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] main story, the player and their partner live in their own room at [[Wigglytuff's Guild]] until graduating, from which they move to a cave beneath [[Sharpedo Bluff]]. The [[Special Episode]]s ''[[Bidoof's Wish]]'' and ''[[Today's "Oh My Gosh"]]'' stars {{mdc|Bidoof|2}} and {{mdc|Sunflora|2}} respectively as the playable character who both live in Wigglytuff's Guild in different rooms. The [[Special Episode]] ''[[Igglybuff the Prodigy]]'' stars Igglybuff as the playable character who lives with his parents in a house on an unnamed prairie.

===In the Pokémon Ranger series===
In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], the player is stationed in [[Fiore]] and [[Oblivia]], respectively. The player has no known home in these games.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Ash house.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash's house in the anime]]
[[File:Ash Room.png|thumb|220px|Ash's bedroom in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
The houses that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} lived in prior to beginning their [[Pokémon journey]]s can be said to be equivalent to the player's houses.

Ash's house first appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. From this point on, after completing a regional {{pkmn|League}}, he would always return to his house to visit his mother {{Delia}} before heading off for a new adventure.

{{an|May}}'s house was equivalent to the [[Petalburg Gym]].

{{an|Dawn}}'s house first appeared in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]''. She went to her house along with Ash and {{an|Brock}} during the middle of their journey in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''. The group stayed there for the duration of the [[Twinleaf Festival]], which concluded in ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''. After Ash finished the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Dawn went back to her house sometime prior to ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. After spending some time {{pkmn|training}} and deciding her next step, Dawn left her house in [[SS024]] to participate in [[Hoenn]]'s [[Pokémon Contest]] circuit. There is a battlefield on the backyard where [[Johanna]] teaches her students.

{{an|Serena}}'s house first appeared in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. Unlike the other main characters, Serena wasn't shown returning to her house by the end of the {{series|XY}}.

==Trivia==
* The player's bedroom in {{2v2|Black|White}} versions is the only place in the series to suffer damage from Pokémon battles. In all other battles which take place indoors or outdoors, the environment remains unscathed.
* The player's house in [[Generation VII]] is the only one to be located on a route instead of a town or city.
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, and {{game|Emerald||Emerald}}, despite the in-game text saying that a GBA connected to the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]], the sprite shows a regular GameCube controller.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Rotom|change forms]].
*When it does not possess an appliance, it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type.
*When it possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, it becomes '''Heat Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}-type.
*When it possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, it becomes '''Wash Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}-type.
*When it possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}, it becomes '''Frost Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}-type.
*When it possesses an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}, it becomes '''Fan Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}-type.
*When it possesses a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}}, it becomes '''Mow Rotom''', and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}-type.

Additionally, in [[Generation VII]], it has the ability to possess a special [[Pokédex]] and become the [[Rotom Pokédex]].

Depending on the game, its form can be changed at will in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Rotom's Room in [[Silph Co.]], the store room in [[Shopping Mall Nine]], on the second floor of [[Professor Sycamore]]'s Lab in [[Lumiose City]], in [[Professor Birch]]'s Lab in [[Littleroot Town]], or in the basement of the Pokémon Research Lab on Alola's {{rt|1|Alola}}.

In [[Generation IV]], it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type regardless of its form.

==Biology==
[[File:Brock and Rotom.png|thumb|220px|left|Rotom transforming]]
Rotom has a body of plasma and is shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. [[DP105|As seen in the anime]], Rotom will often pull pranks on unsuspecting people. [[XY081|Also seen in the anime]], Rotom has the ability to [[time travel]].

[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|220px|left|Rotom and the appliances]]
Rotom has the ability to enter and control appliances. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, it also has five extra forms, each based on a household appliance, which can be accessed by possessing specific appliances. The possessed appliances are based on a {{wp|microwave oven}} (Heat Rotom), {{wp|washing machine}} (Wash Rotom), {{wp|refrigerator}} (Frost Rotom), {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}} (Fan Rotom), and a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}} (Mow Rotom). When Rotom changes form, its eyes and electric aura change colors and its aura appendages take on different shapes: red with oven mitts as Heat Rotom, blue with clothespins as Wash Rotom, purple with lightning bolts as Frost Rotom, yellow with air curls as Fan Rotom, and green with a ripped strip as Mow Rotom.

===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Professor Oak's Rotom]]=====
{{an|Professor Oak}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a Rotom on [[Torom Island]] in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]''. Rotom is a prankster, often scaring Ash by appearing over the video phone whenever he calls Professor Oak. It also appeared in [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] in the {{series|XY}}, helping Professor Oak with his explanation, and often laughing at him when he gets hurt.

====={{an|Rotom Pokédex}}=====
A Rotom inhibiting {{Ash}}'s [[Pokédex]] debuted in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]''. As a Pokédex, Rotom has access to data about many different Pokémon species, but it often hurts itself and others by trying to see a Pokémon do a certain action after reading its information.

=====Other=====
Rotom debuted in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' in all of its different forms, toying around with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.

Three Rotom appeared in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]'', taking on all of their different forms.

A Rotom appeared in ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'', under the ownership of [[Weston]]. It took the form of Wash, Mow, and Frost Rotom. In the episode, it was able to defeat [[Mantle]] and his {{p|Krookodile}} with the assistance of Ash and {{ashfr}}.

A Rotom appeared in ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', where it took the form of a Wash Rotom. An accident caused by [[Ash's Pikachu]] resulted in Rotom being ejected from the washing machine and getting swapped with Rotom Pokédex. Eventually, the Rotom were swapped back to their original places.

{{main|Diamond's Rotom}}
{{main|Rotom Pokedex}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Rotom is a rare and mysterious Pokémon. It first appeared in ''[[PS345|Robust Rotom]]'' at the [[Old Chateau]] where it caused havoc for {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} until Diamond understood that it only wanted to return in its plasma television and led it there. During the subsequent fight against Charon and {{p|Giratina}}, Rotom initially joined the battle transforming into its five forms, then left the fighting to the other legendary Pokémon only to strike at the very last, destroying Charon's device that allowed him to control every Pokémon and thus putting an end to his evil plans. After that, Rotom decided to stay with Diamond.

Another Rotom appears in ''[[PASM01|The Grand Entrance and Delivery Boy Sun]]'', with {{adv|Moon}}, accompanying her as she is tasked with delivering it to [[Professor Kukui]]. It later possessed Moon's [[Pokedex]], becoming the [[Rotom Pokedex]].

====Form change====
When Rotom changes into an appliance form, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving; Rotom cannot change into an appliance form if it does not learn the move. Even if Rotom forgets the special move associated with its current form, it will remain in its current form. If Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and still knows the special move of its current form, the old special move is automatically forgotten and Rotom learns the new one. If Rotom changes to its normal form, it forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its normal form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

==Trivia==
* When Rotom is encountered in the Old Chateau in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, the music is the same as {{pkmn2|Legendary}} encounters, although it is not classified as one. Rotom is, to date, the only non-Legendary Pokémon to do this.
* Rotom's alternate forms, along with {{p|Arceus}}'s forms, were the only alternate forms of a Pokémon not featured in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. However, despite being introduced a year before the game was released like Rotom, {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Giratina}}'s alternate forms made an appearance in the game.
* Rotom is tied with {{p|Tynamo}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Rotom was the first Pokémon mentioned to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|genderless}} in the anime.
* Rotom and each of its forms were designed by different designers:
** Rotom's base form was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].
** Heat Rotom was designed by [[Lee HyunJung]].
** Wash Rotom was designed by [[Hiroki Fuchino]].
** Frost Rotom was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].
** Fan Rotom was designed by [[Motofumi Fujiwara]].
** Mow Rotom was designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].

====Generation V type change====
* Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a type that was not newly introduced.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom's base form, Heat Rotom, Frost Rotom, or Mow Rotom.
* Despite becoming part {{type|Flying}}, Fan Rotom retains the Ability Levitate, being the only Flying-type Pokémon with this Ability. As its Flying type already makes it immune to {{type|Ground}} moves, its Ability is effectively useless under normal conditions.
** In [[Inverse Battle]]s, Fan Rotom is still protected from Ground moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms except Mow Rotom are tied for or have the fewest weaknesses of all Pokémon of their secondary types.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms are the lightest Pokémon of their secondary types.

===Origin===
Rotom appears to be [[List of references to Pulseman|based on]] {{wp|Pulseman}}, who was designed by Pokémon designer [[Ken Sugimori]], although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenomenon of {{wp|ball lightning}}. Its Pokédex entry brings to mind {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its possession of other objects may be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s or {{wp|tsukumogami}}. Rotom may also be an embodiment of electronic "{{wp|magic smoke}}". It may also be based on {{wp|electrical energy}}.

====Name origin====
Rotom is ''motor'' backwards; this may refer to the fact that motors make many appliances function, while Rotom makes them fail.

In {{game|Platinum}}, an old notebook in [[Rotom's Room]] describes how a person discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of a lawn mower's motor, and the person named it Rotom due to this origin.

'''Fire Fang''' (Japanese: '''ほのおのキバ''' ''Fire Fang'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===Generation IV===
Fire Fang deals damage and has a 10% chance of {{Status|burn}}ing the opponent. It also has an independent 10% chance of causing the target to {{status|flinch}}, if the user attacks before the target.

Due to {{DL|List of glitches in Generation IV|Fire Fang glitch|a presumed glitch}}, Fire Fang is always able to hit through {{a|Wonder Guard}}, even if the target does not have a weakness to Fire-type moves.

===Generation V onward===
Fire Fang no longer bypasses Wonder Guard.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Fire}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev4|DPPtHGSS}}{{gameabbrevss|PBR}}|The user bites with flame-cloaked fangs. It may also make the foe flinch or sustain a burn.}}

'''Explosion''' (Japanese: '''だいばくはつ''' ''Giant Explosion'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is currently the most powerful move in terms of its base power. It was [[TM47]] in Generation I before losing its TM status in Generation II. It regained its TM status, albeit as [[TM64]], in Generation IV onwards.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Explosion inflicts damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its [[power]] is listed as 170, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved during [[damage]] calculation (unless it is at a value of 1), effectively doubling the power to 340.

The user of Explosion will faint even if the attack misses or the opponent is immune to it (due to being {{t|Ghost}} type).

If Explosion breaks a target's {{m|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 a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, i.e. 340.

===Generation II===
Explosion's power is [[List of modified moves|increased]] to 250. The target's Defense is still halved, effectively doubling the power to 500.

The user of Explosion will now faint even if the target is behind a {{m|substitute}}, or is {{cat|protection moves|protected}} against it.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not attack this turn, but is subjected to end-of-turn damage such as from {{weather|sandstorm}}.

Unlike in the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Explosion's power before halving Defense.

The [[Focus Band]] won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

===Generation III===
Explosion cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}} is on the field. The user's sprite no longer disappears upon using the move.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, all other Pokémon may still attack this turn.

===Generation IV===
If all targets of Explosion have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Explosion is being executed, Explosion will fail and the user will not faint.

The [[Focus Sash]] won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

[[Anticipation (Ability)|Anticipation]] is triggered by the opponent having this move in its moveset.

===Generation V===
Explosion no longer halves the target's Defense. The user faints before dealing damage, unlike in previous generations.

If all targets of Explosion have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Explosion is being executed, the user of Explosion will now faint regardless.

{{a|Sturdy}} won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

[[Anticipation (Ability)|Anticipation]] is no longer triggered by this move.

===Generation VI onward===
Explosion returns to damaging the target before the user faints.

Explosion can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Block}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Spider Web}} was used in the prior turn.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Explosion does not cause the user to faint, but instead cuts its HP in half, and affects all Pokémon, items, and walls within 2 tiles of the user, reducing HP by half on teammates, by 80 on hostile Pokémon, and destroying all walls, items, and [[dungeon tile|special tiles]]. Explosion cannot be used in {{weather|rain}} or on any floor with a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}}. Additionally, {{type|Fire}} Pokémon take only 50% of usual damage.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Explosion is a [[Status move]]. It only activates if the Pokémon is attacked. It also destroys all items on the floor if activated.

===Description===
{{movedesc|Normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevmd|RB}}|Makes the user blow up in a huge explosion, inflicting damage on all surrounding Pokémon. It also destroys surrounding items and walls.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevmd|SMD}}|You'll get the Explosion status condition, explode when you're attacked, and damage the Pokémon around you. Items on the floor will also disappear, so be careful.}}

==Trivia==
* In Generation I, if {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} or Explosion knocks out the last remaining Pokémon on both sides of the field simultaneously, the player will [[black out]] as normal, but the victory music still plays.
* In Generations II and III, if a Pokémon attempts to use Selfdestruct or Explosion but hurts itself in {{status|confusion}} instead, the confusion damage is boosted by the move's Defense-halving effect.
* Self-Destruct and Explosion are the only two damaging moves whose battle animations play out in the main series even if they would miss or have no effect.
* If Explosion is upgraded into the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, that Breakneck Blitz will have a lower base power than Explosion (200 versus Explosion's 250).
* All Pokémon that can have the Ability {{a|Aftermath}} can learn Explosion.

'''Self-Destruct''' (Japanese: '''じばく''' ''Self-Destruct''), formatted as '''Selfdestruct''' prior to [[Pokémon X and Y]], is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM36]] in Generation I.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Selfdestruct inflicts damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its [[power]] is listed as 130, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved during [[damage]] calculation (unless it is at a value of 1), effectively doubling the power to 260.

The user of Selfdestruct will faint even if the attack misses or the opponent is immune to it (due to being {{t|Ghost}} type).

If Selfdestruct breaks a target's {{m|substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Selfdestruct 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 Selfdestruct attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Selfdestruct breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, i.e. 260.

===Generation II===
Selfdestruct's power is [[List of modified moves|increased]] to 200. The target's Defense is still halved, effectively doubling the power to 400.

The user of Selfdestruct will now faint even if the target is behind a {{m|substitute}}, or is {{cat|protection moves|protected}} against it.

If the user of Selfdestruct attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not attack this turn, but is subjected to end-of-turn damage such as from {{weather|sandstorm}}.

Unlike the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Selfdestruct's power before halving Defense.

The [[Focus Band]] won't prevent the user of Selfdestruct from fainting.

===Generation III===
Selfdestruct cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}} is on the field. The user's sprite no longer disappears upon using the move.

If the user of Selfdestruct attacks first and faints itself, all other Pokémon may still attack this turn.

===Generation IV===
If all targets of Selfdestruct have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Selfdestruct is being executed, Selfdestruct will fail and the user will not faint.

The [[Focus Sash]] won't prevent the user of Selfdestruct from fainting.

[[Anticipation (Ability)|Anticipation]] is triggered by the opponent having this move in its moveset.

===Generation V===
Selfdestruct no longer halves the target's Defense. The user faints before dealing damage, unlike in previous generations.

If all targets of Selfdestruct have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Selfdestruct is being executed, the user of Selfdestruct will now faint regardless.

{{a|Sturdy}} won't prevent the user of Selfdestruct from fainting.

[[Anticipation (Ability)|Anticipation]] is no longer triggered by this move.

===Generation VI onward===
Self-Destruct returns to damaging the target before the user faints.

Self-Destruct can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Block}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Spider Web}} was used in the prior turn.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Self-Destruct does not cause the user to faint, but instead cuts its HP in half, and affects all Pokémon, items, and walls within one tile of the user, reducing HP by half on teammates, by 50 on hostile Pokémon, and destroying all walls, items, and [[dungeon tile|special tiles]]. Self-Destruct cannot be used in {{weather|rain}} or on any floor with a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}}. Additionally, {{type|Fire}} Pokémon take only 50% of usual damage.

==Trivia==
* In Generation I, if Selfdestruct or {{m|Explosion}} knocks out the last remaining Pokémon on both sides of the field simultaneously, the player will [[black out]] as normal, but the victory music still plays.
* In Generations II and III, if a Pokémon attempts to use Selfdestruct or Explosion but hurts itself in {{status|confusion}} instead, the confusion damage is boosted by the move's Defense-halving effect.
* Self-Destruct and Explosion are the only two damaging moves whose battle animations play out in the main series even if they would miss or have no effect.
* If Self-Destruct is upgraded into the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, that Breakneck Blitz will have the same power as Self-Destruct (200).

'''Self-Destruct''' (Japanese: '''じばく''' ''Self-Destruct''), formatted as '''Selfdestruct''' prior to [[Pokémon X and Y]], is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM36]] in Generation I.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Selfdestruct inflicts damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its [[power]] is listed as 130, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved during [[damage]] calculation (unless it is at a value of 1), effectively doubling the power to 260.

The user of Selfdestruct will faint even if the attack misses or the opponent is immune to it (due to being {{t|Ghost}} type).

If Selfdestruct breaks a target's {{m|substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Selfdestruct 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 Selfdestruct attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Selfdestruct breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, i.e. 260.

===Generation II===
Selfdestruct's power is [[List of modified moves|increased]] to 200. The target's Defense is still halved, effectively doubling the power to 400.

The user of Selfdestruct will now faint even if the target is behind a {{m|substitute}}, or is {{cat|protection moves|protected}} against it.

If the user of Selfdestruct attacks first and faints itself, the opponent will not attack this turn, but is subjected to end-of-turn damage such as from {{weather|sandstorm}}.

Unlike the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Selfdestruct's power before halving Defense.

The [[Focus Band]] won't prevent the user of Selfdestruct from fainting.

===Generation III===
Selfdestruct cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}} is on the field. The user's sprite no longer disappears upon using the move.

If the user of Selfdestruct attacks first and faints itself, all other Pokémon may still attack this turn.

===Generation IV===
If all targets of Selfdestruct have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Selfdestruct is being executed, Selfdestruct will fail and the user will not faint.

The [[Focus Sash]] won't prevent the user of Selfdestruct from fainting.

[[Anticipation (Ability)|Anticipation]] is triggered by the opponent having this move in its moveset.

===Generation V===
Selfdestruct no longer halves the target's Defense. The user faints before dealing damage, unlike in previous generations.

If all targets of Selfdestruct have already fainted this turn such that there is no target when Selfdestruct is being executed, the user of Selfdestruct will now faint regardless.

{{a|Sturdy}} won't prevent the user of Selfdestruct from fainting.

===Generation VI onward===
Self-Destruct returns to damaging the target before the user faints.

Self-Destruct can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Block}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Spider Web}} was used in the prior turn.

Self-Destruct does not cause the user to faint, but instead cuts its HP in half, and affects all Pokémon, items, and walls within one tile of the user, reducing HP by half on teammates, by 50 on hostile Pokémon, and destroying all walls, items, and [[dungeon tile|special tiles]]. Self-Destruct cannot be used in {{weather|rain}} or on any floor with a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}}. Additionally, {{type|Fire}} Pokémon take only 50% of usual damage.

* In Generation I, if Selfdestruct or {{m|Explosion}} knocks out the last remaining Pokémon on both sides of the field simultaneously, the player will [[black out]] as normal, but the victory music still plays.
* In Generations II and III, if a Pokémon attempts to use Selfdestruct or Explosion but hurts itself in {{status|confusion}} instead, the confusion damage is boosted by the move's Defense-halving effect.
* Self-Destruct and Explosion are the only two damaging moves whose battle animations play out in the main series even if they would miss or have no effect.
* If Self-Destruct is upgraded into the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, that Breakneck Blitz will have the same power as Self-Destruct (200).

==Blurb==

Team Rocket attempts to steal all the water Pokémon from the annual Fire and Rescue Grand Prix but they turn up all-wet when Ash's Squirtle leads his old gang, The Squirtle Squad into battle against the trio.

==Plot==
On the way to [[Goldenrod City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop in a [[Pokémon Center]] to send his {{AP|Tauros}} back to {{an|Professor Oak}} after using it in [[EP146|the Tauros competition]]. Oak tells him that Heracross is proving to be a very interesting research subject. After talking with Oak, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} come up with [[Nurse Joy]], who has finished inspecting Ash's Pokémon. Joy reports that they are all in excellent condition. Brock asks Joy to inspect him, but a nervous Joy conveniently remembers her duty to examine the Pokémon for something called the [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]].

Curious, the gang decides to check things out. Apparently the Grand Prix is a {{wp|Firefighting|firefighting}} contest for Pokémon and their {{pkmn|Trainer|Trainers}}. Always eager to show off his skills, Ash decides promptly to enter the contest with his own team. Misty reminds him that the only {{type|Water}} he has is {{AP|Squirtle}}, but Ash is way ahead of her: he'll just use her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}. After an irate Misty complains that he should ask her first, Psyduck pops out. Ash interprets this as an expression of excitement.

Suddenly, a familiar voice calls to Ash and Misty. [[Captain Aidan]] and his [[Team Wartortle|Team of Wartortle]] greet them. Brock, who has never met Aidan or Team Wartortle, observes how well the {{p|Wartortle}} have been trained. Misty [[EP106|fills him in]]; while traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago]], she, Ash, and [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] met Aidan and Team Wartortle, the best firefighting force in the region. Ash's Squirtle had worked out with the team and even helped to put out a major fire. Aidan reveals that he and his team are the returning champions in the Fire and Rescue Grand Prix. The lead Wartortle shakes claws with Ash's Squirtle, its friend and rival.

The group goes to the work-out center, where Trainers and their teams exercise and practice before competing. Aidan has made it possible for Ash to enter the contest so late by telling the officials how good he was. Brock looks around at the other teams, noting that competition will be stiff. Ash, of course, isn't worried.

Then, Squirtle notices [[Officer Jenny]] and its old [[Squirtle Squad]]. Jenny notices that the Squirtle all look nervous. She assures them that they will do fine if they work as a team. Suddenly the Squirtle notice their former leader. While the reunited Squirtle Squad exchange happy greetings, Ash, Misty, and Brock greet Jenny. Jenny [[EP012|recounts]] how Ash and his friends converted the Squirtle Squad from ragtag delinquents to responsible and talented firefighters. At the mention that Team Wartortle are the returning champions, the Squirtle Squad expresses fear, at which Ash's Squirtle scratches its chin in an unimpressed manner.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches from a nearby window. They plan to steal all the Pokémon in the competition, including Ash's Pokémon.

While Ash's Squirtle continues to catch up with its old friends, Jenny asks if the Squirtle Squad can have a joint practice session with Team Wartortle. Aidan agrees, and both teams prepare for the target range, where Pokémon use their attacks to bring down targets. The Squirtle Squad looks very nervous as the practice begins. Aidan tells his Wartortle to focus on each target, listen to the lead Wartortle, and work as a team. The strategy works; each Wartortle aims with precision, taking down one target at a time with the concentrated {{m|Water Gun|Water Guns}}. In contrast, the Squirtle Squad seem out of focus. Their aim is off and they're not working with each other. While Jenny and Ash urge the Squirtle on, Brock observes that they're probably nervous being next to such a high-rated team as Team Wartortle. Ash's Squirtle decides to take action: it steps on each of the Squirtle's tails. Jumping up together in pain, the Squirtle finally aim as one like the Wartortle. Ash's Squirtle orders them to take down each target. When the practice ends, both teams have hit all the targets. The Squirtle Squad seem much more confident with their leader back. Ash notes that the Squad does not function without his Squirtle.

The Grand Prix finally starts, with Ash and his team - {{AP|Pikachu}}, Squirtle, and Misty's Staryu and Psyduck - facing off against a team of {{p|Muk}}. The two teams will be competing to see who can put out a burning house faster. Misty encourages the team to show the Muk how awesome Water Pokémon are. Squirtle and Staryu aim Water Gun at the burning house, while Pikachu uses its back feet to fling dirt at the fire. Ash's team is working well, until Psyduck gets in the way of Staryu's Water Gun. The Pokémon is sent flying into the fire. Luckily, Squirtle rescues Psyduck before it becomes roasted. To apologize for its mistake, Staryu washes the smoke stains off Psyduck, who appears to have been unaware of its near-death experience. But the lost time proves to be fatal; the Muk team has extinguished the fire by covering it with their massive bodies.

After Ash's disappointing failure, the Squirtle Squad faces off against a team of Golduck, who apparently came in second place in the previous Grand Prix. Aidan worries that the pressure of the competition may be braking the Squirtle's concentration. His diagnosis proves correct; the Squad looks even more nervous than it did during the practice session. As the round starts, the Golduck team spring quickly and efficiently into action, with each Golduck taking one side of the burning house. The Squirtle Squad, on the other hand, appears too nervous to move. When they finally get going, one of the Squirtle trips and bowls over the others, bring them all down in a struggling heap. After managing to get to their feet, the Squad aim their Water Guns at their burning house, but the [[Move|attack]] is weak and uncoordinated. At this rate, the Golduck will win easily. Concerned, Ash's Squirtle hurries up to Jenny, followed by Ash and Pikachu. Jenny's attempts to get the Squad to listen to her are futile, but then Ash comes up with a bright idea: Pikachu uses {{m|ThunderShock}} on the Squirtle to get their attention. Ash tells them that they need to listen to their leader. At this, Ash's Squirtle looks surprised, but Ash reassures it by saying that the Squad needs it. Squirtle takes control once again, and under its leadership, the Squad gets back into the fight. In the end, it's a close match, but the Squirtle Squad come out on top.

Suddenly, the extinguished fire reignites, and the house soon explodes. From the ground beneath where the house stood emerges Team Rocket in one of its giant [[Team Rocket's mechas|contraptions]]. After reciting the {{motto}}, Team Rocket proceeds with their nefarious plan. Their machine, called the Torcher Scorcher, shoots flames out of its arms straight at the Squirtle, Jenny, Ash, and Pikachu. Aidan and Team Wartortle come to the rescue with the team's Water Guns, but [[James]] simply turns up the heat. Other Trainers start running towards the Torcher Scorcher with their Pokémon to try to help, but that was what Team Rocket was waiting for. {{MTR}} presses a button and sends nets flying out from the Torcher Scorcher's body, ensnaring all the Pokémon - except the Squirtle Squad. Ash tries to run at the giant mecha, but Jenny pulls him away just in time to avoid the flames. As Team Rocket douses the stadium in fire, Ash tells his Squirtle that it must lead the Squirtle Squad to defeat Team Rocket and rescue the Pokémon. After a short huddle, the Squirtle Squad don the infamous glasses of its delinquent days and aim their Water Guns at the Torcher Scorcher. Team Rocket tries to step on the Squirtle, but Ash's Squirtle's orders keep its team members from getting crushed. Brock and Misty happily note the teamwork and superb timing of the Squad. Finally, Team Rocket gets dizzy from their efforts, and the mecha loses its balance and falls over. Squirtle crashes into Team Rocket's command station and blasts them against the wall with Water Gun. Then it stomps on all the controls, sending sparks flying. The door to the mecha's holding area opens, freeing the Pokémon. Squirtle jumps out of the Torcher Scorcher, but Team Rocket isn't through yet. The mecha gets up and prepares to blast Ash, Jenny, and the Pokémon with fire, but before Team Rocket can act, Pikachu and Squirtle combine their {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Water Gun attacks to blast the mecha. Team Rocket bids a bitterly painful farewell.

While construction trucks are busy repairing the stadium, Ash has a talk with his Squirtle. He says that the Squirtle Squad is very strong, but they need their leader. Ash's Squirtle looks sadly between its Trainer and its friends; Ash smiles encouragingly, and the Squad looks hopeful. Squirtle makes its decision: it will lead the Squirtle Squad like it did in the old days.

The Squad moves through the competition smoothly with newfound confidence. Team Wartortle also do very well. Finally, the final face-off begins, with the Squirtle Squad facing off against Team Wartortle. The challenge is to retrieve a dummy from a burning building and extinguish the fire in the least amount of time. Ash shouts encouragement to the Squad; Misty shouts good luck to the Wartortle; Brock shouts his support for... Officer Jenny. While Ash's Squirtle and the leader of Team Wartortle head into their separate buildings, their team members do their best to put out the fires. Then the leaders of both teams emerge with their dummies and direct their teams to put out the fire. The air is thick with tension as both teams race neck-and-neck. At last, the final Water Gun barrage extinguishes the fire in both houses, but who came first? Team Wartortle's total time is recorded to be 3:54:02, and the Squirtle Squad's time... is 3:53:00. As the stadium erupts with cheers, Officer Jenny and the Squirtle Squad celebrate their unexpected victory. Aidan and Team Wartortle congratulate the Squad with a salute, which they return happily.

At the end of the day, Ash congratulates his Squirtle. Jenny thanks Ash for letting his Squirtle leave his [[Party|party]] and continue leading the Squirtle Squad. Squirtle says goodbye to Pikachu, Misty, and Brock, and then looks at Ash's other Pokémon. {{AP|Chikorita}} and {{AP|Cyndaquil}} both nod farewell, but as Squirtle holds out its claws to {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to shake, Bulbasaur turns away. But then it extends a {{m|Vine Whip|vine}} to its long-time friend, shaking solemnly. Jenny heads away on her {{wp|Motorcycle|motorcycle}}, with the Squirtle Squad riding in the back. As his Squirtle recedes into the distance, an emotional Ash yells that they will always be friends, no matter what. He remembers all the good times they had, from the moment Squirtle expressed its wish to join Ash's team to the present.

As Ash and his friends look on, they know that new friends and new memories await them...

===Errors===
* The [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/03_42-the-fire-ing-squad/ corresponding page] on [[Pokémon.com]] lists the Synopsis for the following episode instead of this episode.
* Brock says Aidan's name along with Ash and Misty when they first see him, however, the two had never met before.
* In one scene, some Poliwag's tails are colored dark blue instead of white.
* As the Squirtle Squad and Team Wartortle line up for their first face-off, the Squirtle are shown with their backs facing the camera, their shells bare. However, in the next shot, they are shown wearing their jackets.
* When Staryu accidentally shoots Psyduck into the burning house, a split screen showing everyone shocked appears, but when Staryu appears, Heracross's cry is played instead of Staryu's. This is particularly strange as Heracross was not even there at the time, being back at Oak's lab.
* At the end of the episode the Narrator says about Ash and his friends, "As they continue their journey to Johto, they look forward to the new friends and new memories that lie ahead". This doesn't make any sense as they are already in Johto.
* Near the end, as the gang bids farewell to Aidan and his Wartortle, the lead Wartortle's scarf is a burnt orange color instead of yellow.
* When everyone is saying goodbye to Squirtle, Togepi is a yellowish orange color instead of white.

==Blurb==

Team Rocket attempts to steal all the water Pokémon from the annual Fire and Rescue Grand Prix but they turn up all-wet when Ash's Squirtle leads his old gang, The Squirtle Squad into battle against the trio.

==Plot==
On the way to [[Goldenrod City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop in a [[Pokémon Center]] to send his {{AP|Tauros}} back to {{an|Professor Oak}} after using it in [[EP146|the Tauros competition]]. Oak tells him that Heracross is proving to be a very interesting research subject. After talking with Oak, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} come up with [[Nurse Joy]], who has finished inspecting Ash's Pokémon. Joy reports that they are all in excellent condition. Brock asks Joy to inspect him, but a nervous Joy conveniently remembers her duty to examine the Pokémon for something called the [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]].

Curious, the gang decides to check things out. Apparently the Grand Prix is a {{wp|Firefighting|firefighting}} contest for Pokémon and their {{pkmn|Trainer|Trainers}}. Always eager to show off his skills, Ash decides promptly to enter the contest with his own team. Misty reminds him that the only {{type|Water}} he has is {{AP|Squirtle}}, but Ash is way ahead of her: he'll just use her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}. After an irate Misty complains that he should ask her first, Psyduck pops out. Ash interprets this as an expression of excitement.

Suddenly, a familiar voice calls to Ash and Misty. [[Captain Aidan]] and his [[Team Wartortle|Team of Wartortle]] greet them. Brock, who has never met Aidan or Team Wartortle, observes how well the {{p|Wartortle}} have been trained. Misty [[EP106|fills him in]]; while traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago]], she, Ash, and [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] met Aidan and Team Wartortle, the best firefighting force in the region. Ash's Squirtle had worked out with the team and even helped to put out a major fire. Aidan reveals that he and his team are the returning champions in the Fire and Rescue Grand Prix. The lead Wartortle shakes claws with Ash's Squirtle, its friend and rival.

The group goes to the work-out center, where Trainers and their teams exercise and practice before competing. Aidan has made it possible for Ash to enter the contest so late by telling the officials how good he was. Brock looks around at the other teams, noting that competition will be stiff. Ash, of course, isn't worried.

Then, Squirtle notices [[Officer Jenny]] and its old [[Squirtle Squad]]. Jenny notices that the Squirtle all look nervous. She assures them that they will do fine if they work as a team. Suddenly the Squirtle notice their former leader. While the reunited Squirtle Squad exchange happy greetings, Ash, Misty, and Brock greet Jenny. Jenny [[EP012|recounts]] how Ash and his friends converted the Squirtle Squad from ragtag delinquents to responsible and talented firefighters. At the mention that Team Wartortle are the returning champions, the Squirtle Squad expresses fear, at which Ash's Squirtle scratches its chin in an unimpressed manner.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches from a nearby window. They plan to steal all the Pokémon in the competition, including Ash's Pokémon.

While Ash's Squirtle continues to catch up with its old friends, Jenny asks if the Squirtle Squad can have a joint practice session with Team Wartortle. Aidan agrees, and both teams prepare for the target range, where Pokémon use their attacks to bring down targets. The Squirtle Squad looks very nervous as the practice begins. Aidan tells his Wartortle to focus on each target, listen to the lead Wartortle, and work as a team. The strategy works; each Wartortle aims with precision, taking down one target at a time with the concentrated {{m|Water Gun|Water Guns}}. In contrast, the Squirtle Squad seem out of focus. Their aim is off and they're not working with each other. While Jenny and Ash urge the Squirtle on, Brock observes that they're probably nervous being next to such a high-rated team as Team Wartortle. Ash's Squirtle decides to take action: it steps on each of the Squirtle's tails. Jumping up together in pain, the Squirtle finally aim as one like the Wartortle. Ash's Squirtle orders them to take down each target. When the practice ends, both teams have hit all the targets. The Squirtle Squad seem much more confident with their leader back. Ash notes that the Squad does not function without his Squirtle.

The Grand Prix finally starts, with Ash and his team - {{AP|Pikachu}}, Squirtle, and Misty's Staryu and Psyduck - facing off against a team of {{p|Muk}}. The two teams will be competing to see who can put out a burning house faster. Misty encourages the team to show the Muk how awesome Water Pokémon are. Squirtle and Staryu aim Water Gun at the burning house, while Pikachu uses its back feet to fling dirt at the fire. Ash's team is working well, until Psyduck gets in the way of Staryu's Water Gun. The Pokémon is sent flying into the fire. Luckily, Squirtle rescues Psyduck before it becomes roasted. To apologize for its mistake, Staryu washes the smoke stains off Psyduck, who appears to have been unaware of its near-death experience. But the lost time proves to be fatal; the Muk team has extinguished the fire by covering it with their massive bodies.

After Ash's disappointing failure, the Squirtle Squad faces off against a team of Golduck, who apparently came in second place in the previous Grand Prix. Aidan worries that the pressure of the competition may be braking the Squirtle's concentration. His diagnosis proves correct; the Squad looks even more nervous than it did during the practice session. As the round starts, the Golduck team spring quickly and efficiently into action, with each Golduck taking one side of the burning house. The Squirtle Squad, on the other hand, appears too nervous to move. When they finally get going, one of the Squirtle trips and bowls over the others, bring them all down in a struggling heap.

* The scene where Brock asked what Squirtle had to do with [[Team Wartortle]] mirrors when {{Tracey}} asked what Squirtle's sunglasses were for in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''. This time Misty filled Brock in on what he had missed as Ash had filled Tracey in.
* The book [[Teaming Up With Totodile]] is based on this episode.

===Errors===
* The [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/03_42-the-fire-ing-squad/ corresponding page] on [[Pokémon.com]] lists the Synopsis for the following episode instead of this episode.
* Brock says Aidan's name along with Ash and Misty when they first see him, however, the two had never met before.
* In one scene, some Poliwag's tails are colored dark blue instead of white.
* As the Squirtle Squad and Team Wartortle line up for their first face-off, the Squirtle are shown with their backs facing the camera, their shells bare. However, in the next shot, they are shown wearing their jackets.
* When Staryu accidentally shoots Psyduck into the burning house, a split screen showing everyone shocked appears, but when Staryu appears, Heracross's cry is played instead of Staryu's.
* At the end of the episode the Narrator says about Ash and his friends, "As they continue their journey to Johto, they look forward to the new friends and new memories that lie ahead". This doesn't make any sense as they are already in Johto.
* Near the end, as the gang bids farewell to Aidan and his Wartortle, the lead Wartortle's scarf is a burnt orange color instead of yellow.
* When everyone is saying goodbye to Squirtle, Togepi is a yellowish orange color instead of white.

Kidburla: /* In other games */

{{redirect|Clear|the location in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] demo|Mt. Clear}}
{{incomplete|needs=Generation VI and VII details; Gates to Infinity descriptions}}

The '''weather''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|天気|てんき}}''' ''weather'') is a set of mechanics in the [[Pokémon games]] that change the battle environment, activating {{Abilities}}, modifying certain [[move]]s, and potentially damaging the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in battle or affecting their [[stats]]. They have been included in every [[core series]] game since [[Generation II]]. In battle, weather is either determined by the location of a battle, due to overworld weather, or by a Pokémon creating a new type of weather with a move or Ability. Only one type of weather may be present at a time, and only the most recent type of weather will take effect.

In Generation II, only moves that cause weather were introduced and weather was only present in battles, not in the overworld. [[Generation III]] introduced overworld weather and [[:Category:Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-related Abilities]], as well as a new weather-causing move. The biggest modification to weather in [[Generation IV]] was the introduction of four held items ([[Heat Rock|Heat]], [[Damp Rock|Damp]], [[Smooth Rock|Smooth]], and [[Icy Rock]]s) that increase the duration of weather caused by {{cat|weather-changing moves}} or {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions}}. [[Generation V]] mostly introduced greater overworld weather variability, especially in [[seasons]] affecting the weather in certain locations.

==Types of weather and effects==
===Overview===
*'''Clear skies''': Actually the absence of weather. This is the weather found in most locations.
*'''[[Harsh sunlight]]''': Strong sunlight shines on the battlefield. It is one of the rarest conditions to be seen in the overworld.
**'''[[Harsh sunlight|Extremely harsh sunlight]]''': Sunlight shines more heavily on the battlefield. This has only occurred in the overworld in the [[Hoenn]] region, in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby]], due to {{p|Groudon}}'s emergence.
*'''[[Rain]]''': Rain falls on the battlefield. Different variations of this weather may appear on the overworld. This is the most common weather pattern that may be found on [[route]]s and occasionally in cities.
**'''[[Rain|Heavy rain]]''': Rain falls more chaotically around the battlefield. This has only occurred in the overworld in the [[Hoenn]] region, in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire]], due to {{p|Kyogre}}'s emergence.
*'''{{weather|Sandstorm}}''': Stinging sand whips across the battlefield. In Generations III through V, every new [[region]] had a specific area where a sandstorm was always occurring.
*'''{{weather|Hail}}''': Pelting hail falls on the battlefield. Different variations of this weather may appear on the overworld. There may also be benign falling snow that does not cause hail in a battle.
**'''{{weather|Diamond dust}}''': A special, purely aesthetic version of snow. It first appeared as an [[easter egg]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and has appeared in several [[core series]] games since.
*'''{{weather|Shadowy aura}}''': Bursts of light rain down from a shadowy aura in the sky. This type of weather is only present in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and has no overworld manifestation anywhere.
*'''[[Fog]]''': A thick fog clouds the battlefield. This only had an in-battle effect during Generation IV, but it has been present in the overworld in other Generations in a purely aesthetic form.
*'''[[Mysterious air current]]''': A strong air current blows across the battlefield. This weather can only be present in battle, as a result of {{me|Rayquaza}}'s Ability.
There is also a glitch that occurs in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, called [[acid rain]], that results in the simultaneous occurrence of all then-existing weather conditions at once, damaging all Pokémon on the field.

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

In [[Generation VI]] onwards, the background of the bottom screen shows an animation of the current weather.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], the 3DS's bottom screen displays an icon and background animation of the current weather.

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

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

In addition, {{m|Defog}} may clear fog from an overworld area (in Generation IV only). It is the only move that has any effect on weather in the overworld.

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

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

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

|}

===Effects===
Three of the types of weather can do damage to Pokémon in battle at the end of a turn. In a {{weather|sandstorm}}, {{weather|hail}}, or {{weather|shadowy aura}}, any Pokémon that is not {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, or {{type|Steel}}; {{type|Ice}}; or a [[Shadow Pokémon]] (respectively) will be damaged for 1/16 of its maximum HP. Certain {{Abilities}} prevent damage from weather effects, though, and a Pokémon holding [[Safety Goggles]] is also immune to damage from weather effects.

Sandstorm and [[fog]] both affect the [[stats]] of Pokémon on the battlefield. Since Generation IV, in a sandstorm, the Special Defense of {{type|Rock}} Pokémon is increased by 50%. In fog, the accuracy of all Pokémon in battle is decreased.

During [[harsh sunlight]], all Pokémon are immune to {{status|freeze|freezing}}.

Harsh sunlight and [[rain]] both affect the power of certain types of [[move]]s. [[Harsh sunlight]] strengthens the power of {{type|Fire}} moves by 50% and weakens the power of {{type|Water}} moves by 50%, while [[rain]] does the opposite, strengthening Water-type moves by 50% while weakening Fire-type moves by 50%.

Certain specific moves are also affected in special ways by the weather.
*The recovery moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, and {{m|Moonlight}} will recover different amounts{{tt|*|The numbers given here are only accurate for Generation III and later}} of HP depending on the weather: in clear skies, they recover half of the user's maximum HP; in harsh sunlight, they recover ⅔ HP; and in other types of weather, they recover ¼ HP.
*The accuracy of {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, and {{m|Blizzard}} is affected by the weather.
**In hail, Blizzard ignores accuracy and evasion checks{{tt|*|Generation IV onwards}}, while Thunder and Hurricane do the same in rain. During harsh sunlight, however, Thunder and Hurricane only have 50% accuracy.
**In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Blizzard and Thunder also had a 30% chance to hit through {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}} when used in their favored weather.
*{{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Solar Blade}} become a 1-turn move in harsh sunlight, skipping its charge turn, but in rain, sandstorm, or hail, the move's power is halved.
*From Generation V onwards, {{m|Growth}}'s stat increases double in harsh sunlight.
*When used as a [[field move]] in Generations IV-VI, {{m|Sweet Scent}} will fail to work if there is a type of weather in effect in the area.
*The move {{m|Shore Up}} restores ⅔ of the user's total HP during a sandstorm; outside of a sandstorm, it only restores ½ total HP.

===Activated Abilities===
The following Abilities are activated when a type of weather comes into effect. Most of these Abilities have no effect if no weather is active.

| style="background:#FFF" | {{a|Leaf Guard}}
| style="background:#FFF" | {{a|Swift Swim}}
|-
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{a|Solar Power}}
|}

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

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

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #FFF; {{roundy}}"
|-
| width="25%" style="background: #{{normal color light}}; {{roundy}}" | Normal [[File:351Castform.png|80px]] {{typecolor|Normal}} During clear skies, [[fog]], {{weather|sandstorm}}, {{weather|shadowy aura}}, and a [[mysterious air current]]
| width="25%" style="background: #{{fire color light}}; {{roundy}}" | Sunny Form [[File:351Castform-Sunny.png|80px]] {{typecolor|Fire}} During [[harsh sunlight]] and [[harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]]

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

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

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

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

| height="90px" width="90px" style="background: #{{water color light}}; {{roundy|45px}}" | During [[rain]]/[[rain|heavy rain]] {{typecolor|Water}}
| height="90px" width="90px" style="background: #{{rock color light}}; {{roundy|45px}}" | During {{weather|sandstorm}} {{typecolor|Rock}}
| height="90px" width="90px" style="background: #{{ice color light}}; {{roundy|45px}}" | During {{weather|hail}} {{typecolor|Ice}}
| height="90px" width="90px" style="background: #{{??? color light}}; {{roundy|45px}}" | During {{weather|shadowy aura}} {{typecolor|???}}
| height="90px" width="90px" style="background: #{{normal color light}}; {{roundy|45px}}" | During [[fog]]/[[mysterious air current]] {{typecolor|Normal}}
|}

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

===Weather-dependent evolution===
Starting at level 50, {{p|Sliggoo}} will evolve into {{p|Goodra}} if it is leveled up while it is [[rain]]ing in the overworld.

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

===Pokémon GO===
Various weather effects appear in [[Pokémon GO]], intended to reflect the actual weather that the player is experiencing. Different weathers affect certain Pokémon types, and effects include increasing their frequency of appearing in the wild, increasing the power of moves of that type in battle (by 20%), and giving extra [[Stardust (GO)|Stardust]] when a Pokémon of that type is caught. Wild Pokémon affected by the weather boost can also appear at a higher than normal [[Combat Power|CP]] . Raid Bosses are also affected by weather, however, Pokémon encounters from Field or Special Research are not affected.

The appearance of {{p|Castform}} is also affected by the weather.

==Trivia==
[[File:Three Snowflakes unused FRLG.png|thumb|Four snowflakes falling that goes unused.]]
* The [[Weather Institute]] in [[Hoenn]] is dedicated to the study of weather. It is said to have created {{p|Castform}}, a Pokémon that changes with the weather.
* All weather-creating Abilities ({{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Sand Stream}}, and {{a|Snow Warning}}) debuted the generation after their respective moves/weather ({{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, and {{m|Hail}}).
* The [[Generation III]] core games internal data contains an unused overworld weather effect of four falling snowflakes.

Talk:Dartrix (Pokémon)

2018-10-19T00:40:00Z

Kidburla: /* In the anime */

Dartrix is extremely sensitive to other presences in the area and can detect opponents behind it and throw feathers to strike them without even seeing them. This Pokémon conceals sharp-bladed feathers inside its wings, showing astounding precision as it sends them flying in attack. And it goes beyond propelling its blade quills in simple straight lines—it can even bend these feathers to change their trajectories!

Revealing a certain snobbiness in its personality, Dartrix cares a great deal about its appearance, grooming its feathers in every spare moment. In truth, it’s also a bit of a birdbrain, with a tendency to bungle things up. Once it makes a mistake, it sometimes gets into a desperate struggle to gloss over the situation and ends up making a bigger mess than ever.

At times, this Pokémon feels so bothered by its dirty or ruffled feathers that it can’t focus on battle. When it loses its focus, it sometimes even retires from the battle on the spot! It’s up to each Trainer to help Dartrix overcome this troublesome stage. If this Pokémon is with a Trainer who helps it through, its strength will grow hugely!

:Thanks, but we can seen exactly what it says on the site for ourselves. Information like this should be put in the editor's own words and then cited before being added (see other Gen VII Pokemon for reference). In proper writing, we'd have to put all of that in quotations and state in the text where it was from if we were to copy it word for word like that. That goes against the general style of the wiki. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 15:02, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

== Russian name ==

The Russian name is Дартрикс so if someone could add that that would be great c: --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 15:26, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

== Name origin - German ==

I'd say the name is composed of ''arbor'' (Latin for tree) and the English word ''toss''. At least I can't think of anything else. {{unsigned|HQna}}
:I'ld say that it is likely also derived from "Albatross", a type of large bird. [[User:Mangaman13|Mangaman13]] ([[User talk:Mangaman13|talk]]) 03:35, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

== Name origin - French ==

In "Efflèche", the "eff" part likely comes from "(chouette) effraie" (barn owl) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chouette_effraie {{unsigned|Azalee}}
Seconding this. --[[User:Unbirth|Unbirth]] ([[User talk:Unbirth|talk]]) 20:21, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

== Name Origin - Japanese ==

フクスロー (Fukusurō) likely derives from 梟 (fukurō) and スロー (surō), which is the English word "throw". --[[User:Sam1729|Sam1729]] ([[User talk:Sam1729|talk]]) 20:06, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

== Design elements ==

It might be worth noting to whoever is writing the physical appearance section that the brown area resembles both a Waistcoat and a Coconut, while the orange quills within the green feathers resemble seeds protruding from a seed pod/ petals emerging from a bud. {{unsigned|ZiggyAngelo8}}

== Biology ==

"Dartrix is an avian Pokémon resembling an owl. The upper portion of its body is dark brown, while its wings, {{wp|facial disc}}, and the rest of its feathers are white. There are two tan spots on the upperside of each wing, and it conceals sharp-bladed feathers inside the leafy plumage on the underside. Its heart-shaped face has a stubby, hooked beak that is white on top and orange-brown on the lower mandible. Although it is often seen squinting, its eyes are large with black pupils. Two green leaves sprout from its chest, arranged in a bow tie shape, and two larger leaves make up its tail. Dartrix also has leaves growing from above its eyes, with one hanging loosely reminiscent of a {{wp|quiff}} hairstyle. Its talons are orange-brown with two toes facing forward and one pointed back.

This Pokémon is very alert and sensitive to the presence of others around it. It can launch attacks on enemies behind it without even seeing them. Dartrix stores razor-sharp blade quills inside its wings, and it can propel them with astounding precision. It can even bend these feathers to alter the trajectory of its strikes. Dartrix also spends a great deal of time grooming its feathers to maintain its appearance. This compulsion will occasionally lead to it losing focus when its plumage is ruffled or dirty, even retiring from battle to preen. It is also described as a bit of a birdbrain, with a tendency to bungle things up. It sometimes gets into a desperate struggle to gloss over its mistakes and ends up making the situation even messier. A trainer who helps this Pokémon through this difficult stage will allow it to reach its full strength. [[User:Togeknight|~Destruction on Wings~]] ([[User talk:Togeknight|talk]]) 03:52, 5 October 2016 (UTC)"
:Other than the "quiff" part (I feel like it's closer to an {{wp|asymmetric cut}}) I really like this! --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 00:34, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

== Dartix's bowtie ==

In light of the fact that Decidueye has been revealed, I noticed that there is a progression through the bowties worn throughout Rowlets evolution: lively, wilting, dead. Should this be added into the biology of Dartrix and Decidueye? {{unsigned|ZiggyAngelo8}}

== Possible Name Origin? ==

The 'trix' part could also be derived from venatrix (latin for 'huntress'). It might be a bit of a stretch though. {{unsigned|Spirios}}

== Origin ==

I know that Decidueye may be based on a stilt owl, but what traits does Dartrix show that make it based on a stilt owl? [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 05:39, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

== In the anime ==

I spotted Dartrix in a recent promotional video: [https://youtu.be/Hy_wbJe98ZI] (seen briefly at about 0:18). Not sure which episode this is from though. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 00:39, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
