== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off. Also, appearances should pertain to the Pokemon itself, anything other Pokemon or characters do that doesn't involve the Pokemon itself should not be noted (like mentioning that May chose Squirtle on Bulbasaur's page). Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
:Can we at least work to reduce some of the repetitive language? A complete reversion seems a bit excessive--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 05:00, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
::Rewording is fine, though some of your edits weren't really necessary (like the aforementioned merging of minor roles that skewers the chronology of appearances). And don't merge multiple sections, like merging Ash's Squirtle with the Squirtle Squad, they are two different entities.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

== Section editing ==
Please do not section edit, if you want to edit multiple sections, you can edit the whole "in the anime" section instead. Section editing gives off the implication that you are not using the preview button. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
:You still seem to be just editing sections at a time. If you see or notice multiple sections needing to be edited, please use the ''edit this page'' button at the top of the page. This will help reduce clutter on the '''Recent changes''' page. Also, please make sure to use the ''Show preview'' button before saving changes, this ways you will not have to edit the page multiple times and can get everything updated and changed in one edit. Please and thank you, have a delightful day. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:05, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

== Why? ==

== "However" usage ==

I have not seen "however" used like [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Nurse_Joy%27s_Chansey&type=revision&diff=3152002&oldid=3152000 this]. If it's going to be used like that, it needs to be for the beginning of a different sentence, otherwise it should be replaced with "but" or a similar connector.

:::So you don’t know what you’re looking for, which means you didn’t read the article, but yet you’re still calling me wrong. Something doesn’t add up--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 04:19, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

::::::Your takeaway here: "However, if you cannot bring yourself to do it, you can precede your ''However'' at the start of your sentence with a semicolon ('''not a comma''') or slide it further down your sentence and offset it with commas." [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:27, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::::You said you’d never seen it used in such a way, and now that you have, completely missed the part where it’s said that such usage is encouraged, and told me what my takeaway was. Please stop moving goalposts.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 04:29, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::::Honestly, I forgot about that one, but even if I did still remember it, I don't like to use it. The article itself agrees with me on that preference. Either way, you still didn't use a semicolon, if you looked at the diff. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:31, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::For chrissakes I do not need a semicolon--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 04:44, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

:::::::::::Then show me where in the GrammarMonster link it says such. You can even Google “Using however to begin a sentence” yourself and try to tell me I’m wrong--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 04:48, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::::::::I ''just'' copy-and-pasted the exact sentence that says so over here. Check above. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:51, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== Minor errors ==

Can you please use the preview buttons to make sure you didn't make minor errors like not adding a period at the end of a sentence. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions. That was the factor in your block, it was not just because of one occasion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::And it's one day per reversion on the Squirtle article, including GrammarFreak's edit you reverted previously.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such. Why don’t his reversions mean anything? Why do his edits where he jumped the gun in the middle of a discussion factor into the reasoning of the reversions. Why am I responsible for the actions of another user?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 10:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it. I've brought it up with the other staff members to see if GrammarFreak should be blocked as well.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.
::::::The problem with that edit wasn't what you said in the edit summary, the problem was that you reverted it anyway rather than coming to me and ask what I meant with my edit summary (which I already explained in my initial comment).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war. Both of you accused me of doing things I didn’t even do in order to justify your action.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it. I'm suspecting you because I did a check and some things matched, namely the device the both of you edited from are the exact same. All I needed was a yes or a no, and a short explanation. Not a whole paragraph. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the issue.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:::You’re still accusing me of edit warring, when everything you’re accusing me of doing is stuff only you and GrammarFreak did. You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up. The fact that you didn’t respond when I stated points 3 and 4 the first time in the previous section definitely arouses suspicion of your motives--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

==Move Variations==

I am unsure if the edit I made on the Move variations page was bad. Can you tell me what I did wrong and how I could improve on it in the future? I also remember me doing a similar edit on adding Meteor Assault but no one removed it. Can you explain why that is?
[[User:PeakA|PeakA]] ([[User talk:PeakA|talk]]) 23:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
:Maybe because no one paid mind to it. A user had recently been reverted for changing criteria without permission. Now if you could please remove your message on Force Fire’s page, that would be great.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 02:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
::I don’t want any trouble. I am not going to remove the message until I get a response from them as well. I want multiple sides of why what I did was wrong and how I could fix it. If you have a problem with me contacting ForceFire, then just contact them yourself. Also what does reverted mean? [[User:PeakA|PeakA]] ([[User talk:PeakA|talk]]) 03:07, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
:::Reverted means the edit in question was completely removed by another user. For example, you make an edit on the {{p|Kabutops}} article saying it appeared in a certain episode, but I remove it for whatever reason. That's a revert.

#Please don't tell another user to remove a message they've left on another talk page, there's absolutely no need for that kind of attitude. Your hostility, no matter how much you don't think is a big deal, is unnecessary and goes against the {{bp|Code of Conduct}}. Please tone down your attitude when interacting with other users in future.
#As I've mentioned to you before, don't edit war. If you disagree with an edit, bring it up on the talk page, don't just continually revert it.

:::::::You don’t get to decide that. You only called it edit warring because you disagreed with the reversions being made. Not because it was actual edit warring--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:19, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
::::::::You do realize that Force Fire is staff? So am I. And I fully agree that two reversions is edit warring.
::::::::First edit is free. You're reverted, and you revert... Not great, but I can call that a "disagreement" (but if it becomes a habit...that's worse). At that point, IMO, you should 100% be talking it out and leave the page alone. Your next revert was just edit warring.

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them. It will allow you to check if your latest post is properly indented on a talk page. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
:When I write commas, I only have the curly. And no, the titles aren’t just italicized in the lead, they’re in the section titles too. I mean, come on now. There’s nothing in the manual of style saying fictional movies must be unitalicized.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:08, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Farfetch%27d_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3168566&oldid=3168560 your revision] of the {{p|Farfetch'd}} anime section features this: "<nowiki>[[Holly]]'s Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', under the ownership of.</nowiki> [sic]" That's something that could've been prevented had you used the preview button. Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

:I also notice you sometimes like to alternate between using the present tense and the past tense without any explanation.

== Sunflora ==

It's like I mentioned [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#.22Bulbapedia_is_not_Wikipedia.22 earlier], information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) should be sourced. Even if it looks obvious, leaving one article like that sets up a precedent for looser original research being used in other articles. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:13, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== The Preview Button, again ==

I'm not sure what it looked like to you, but my screen interpreted [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY009&type=revision&diff=3181413&oldid=3178895 your edit] on [[XY009]] as using a [http://www.clearlingo.co.nz/blog/new-zealand-english-single-or-double-quote-marks single quotation mark] instead of an apostrophe mark. I ''strongly'' urge you to use the preview button, because I noticed you occasionally use single quotation marks with some of your edits. They stand out even more because they're ''beginning'' quotation marks. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:I must’ve missed it, I’m sorry. It looked like a straight apostrophe to me, as was my intent, but clearly it didn’t happen that way.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 07:31, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados.

As Force Fire explained, just because a wild Pokémon is playing a similar role (most likely as a reference EP001, as it was one of the very first Pokémon seen) does not confirm that they are indeed the same wild Pokémon, a point that I must agree with. This is also another reminder to use the talk page when you are in disagreement about an edit or if someone has undone your edit, you once again just readded your edit, which is edit warring.

== Q&A ==

Heya. So, it's been apparent that you have some concerns with staff in general, and with Force Fire in particular. Unfortunately, you keep bringing them up in the middle of other substantial questions and I think it kind of gets lost in the midst of trying to stay on topic.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

== Renaming other users' sandbox articles ==

I don't think it's a good idea to spontaneously rename another user's sandbox, especially without their permission. It's their sandbox article; they can do whatever they wish to it. And if it's mainspaced by an admin, I'm sure the admin will keep the new series title in mind when they do so.

== Third Block ==

Good day. While I appreciate the attention that you've drawn to some of the gaps within some of Bulbapedia's pages and policies, some of your conduct has escalated and amounted to what can be considered intimidating behavior/harassment. As a non-member of staff [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mewtwo_Sea&diff=prev&oldid=3202458 edits like this] are inappropriate and feels like you are assuming bad-faith in nature. It is also apparent that you are still [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=May%27s_Blaziken&action=history edit warring] and taking it upon yourself to try to enforce policy. Here, Force Fire was ''correct'' because he was restoring the status of an article back to the condition it was before a large controversial edit was made. Even though you used the talk page, you took it upon yourself to insert yourself into making sure ''others'' were following the policies/rules in the way you interpreted them. This is not the place of a general user, if you feel rules/policies/procedures are not being followed, you are to contact staff and you are to give them the time needed to mediate the situation. While there's no issue with you disagreeing with staff or individual members of staff, it becomes problematic when these disagreements becomes attitudes of general vindictiveness that influence conduct and edit wars you've inserted yourself into. You have been blocked for a week. Upon your return, I hope that you are able to assume less bad-faith and to try to be less combative while editing so we can ensure Bulbapedia remains a positive experience for everyone. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 18:35, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
:Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter, Force Fire didn’t have consensus, and he was edit warring. If you believe that Force Fire wasn’t edit warring, then what are the rules for? Intimidating and harassing lower users when they follow them? The fact that you framed my actions as “vindictive” based on a single edit shows that the block was not in good faith. The fact that you’re calling this a third block when the first two were never legitimate shows that good faith was never the intention. Making sure others follow the rules isn’t me imposing powers that I don’t have, it’s ensuring that double standards are not being held on non-powered users. Defending such bypasses shows where the priorities are. My block should never have been imposed. You blocked me accusing me of things you never actually proved--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

== Volbeat edit ==

Original sentence: "Before a fight broke out, Volbeat, along with the other Pokémon, was calmed down by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}."

Your new sentence: "{{OBP|Celebi|M13}} calmed all attackers down before a fight could break out."

I'm not sure what you interpreted from the original sentence, but from my perspective, nothing looks wrong, and if it ain't broke, it probably shouldn't be fixed. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

== Edit summaries ==

When reverting someone, make sure that you provide a clear reason in your edit summary. Just saying that something was removed "[[Special:Diff/3207815|for a reason]]" doesn't make it clear to the other user why they were reverted. If the addition was incorrect, say that; if there's some stylistic reason, say what it is. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:05, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

== What? ==

How am I blocked ''again'' when I went to the edit warring user’s talkpage and they ignored my warning about their edits?

What did I do wrong this time?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Edit warring ==

You have been blocked for [[edit warring]] on [[EP001]]. If you have a disagreement with another user, you discuss it with them, you don't keep trying to make your edit. And discussing doesn't mean using the edit summaries; you use the article's talk page or go directly to the person you're having a conflict with.

Please keep this in mind when your block is lifted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

:::Then why do admins get to? The only person edit warring was Apikachu. The only error here is that I was blocked for removing unconstructive edits, and the unconstructive editor ignored their messages. The disagreement was Apikachu's, not mine. I was restoring the page to the status quo, as is procedure on Bulbapedia. You can’t keep blocking me for following the rules. I tried discussing it with the user, the fact that you’re blatantly overlooking that to justify your block and your message when it doesn’t apply means my block should not exist--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:36, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
::::I don't know what you think "admins get to", but you're not an admin. Nowhere should a reasonable person expect that staff and users are bound by exactly the same rules. Staff fundamentally have certain responsibilities to enforce order.
::::You were disagreeing with Apikachu. I'm not overlooking anything at all. I'm carrying out our rules.
::::You do not decide if you are right; if we "allowed" that, everyone would be right because of course they are, who's going to think differently about what ''they'' want. You don't judge your rightness. You follow the site's rules. And that means no edit warring. If you have a problem, talk with the user. If that's not working, go to staff.

:::::::May’s Blaziken, Dawn’s Piplup, Serena’s Braixen. Force Fire reverts first without explanation or consensus. He then has me blocked for edit warring and “Intimidating behavior” with no evidence because they weren’t following the rules. They were never blocked for his part in the edit war. He also previously blocked me (but not themselves) for allegedly edit warring over the use of “western”, which I successfully appealed. Every time they blocked me, they restored it to ''their'' preferred version, just so they could win, like getting upset that the toys you’re not supposed to keep to yourself are being played with, so you incapacitate the person who dared to stand near it. And on my previous block, the blocking policy was crafted in such a way that admins can do whatever they want, get away with it, and win every disagreement they get involved in, using aspects directly inspired by what Force Fire did to get me blocked. That was a straight power grab and everyone can see it. You shouldn’t be changing the rules just because they’re used against you. You shouldn’t be blocking lower users who follow the rules exactly as you do as best they can. My block is invalid.

::::::::::It’s not a past issue. It’s the same issue: Punishing me for following the rules. I showed that there was precedent for my actions, actions which are not against the rules. It’s not a distraction either because it shows that policy is riddled with flaws that are designed to hurt instead of help. What you are pulling is selective enforcement. For someone who blocked me for allegedly breaking the rules, you still haven’t proven I’ve broken any, and the burden of proof is on you. Considering Force Fire was upset that I wasn’t following unwritten rules, I’m seeing a lot of hypocrisy, and again, selective enforcement. If you can’t prove your reasons for blocking me, I shouldn’t be blocked--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:46, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::Burden of proof? Sure, I'll follow that for a step or two.
:::::::::::[[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy]] outlines how we block users. This establishes what a block is, how we enact them, and what violations we carry them out for.
:::::::::::Under Procedure, it says: ''If a user fails to follow the policies and guidelines of Bulbapedia, official warnings should be issued by a member of staff, guiding them away from inappropriate behavior. A user who does not adhere to warnings and persists in rule breaking behavior, or substantially violates Bulbapedia's rules, may be blocked.'' There are several reasons you should be aware of edit warring, the infraction at issue currently. One: it's in your welcome template: ''Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.'' I honestly don't expect everyone to read it, but it's there. Two: in your first {{DL||block}}, you were warned about edit warring. You were told it was a blockable offense. Three: in the topic about {{DL||GalarPony}}, ForceFire explained edit warring in detail again. Four: in the topic {{DL||PeakA and GrammarFreak}}, you were warned against edit warring yet again. Five: in your {{DL||second block}}, you were blocked for edit warring. Six: in the section {{DL||Minor Appearances}}, Pokemaster97 reminded you about edit warring. Seven: your {{DL||Third Block}} was in part for edit warring again.
:::::::::::(The short version of all that is: you were warned, as our policy suggests...and amply. Honestly, I didn't realize it was explicitly so much. Consider yourself lucky this block is only 4 days. But anyway, back to your proof.)
:::::::::::Under the section Blockable offenses of the {{bp|blocking policy}} is the section {{DL|Bulbapedia:Blocking policy|Edit/revert wars}}. It says: <code>An edit war occurs when users who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions. Bulbapedia generally treats three reverts/back-and-forth edits to determine if an edit war is taking place</code>. So, this is the crux of your block. This is the rule you broke. On [[EP001]], you reverted Apikachu a total of six times. And 6 >= 3. Even allowing for what happened in the past few hours, you reverted Apikachu four times. And 4 >= 3. Since you reverted another user at least three times, you were blocked for edit warring.
:::::::::::That's my burden of proof.
:::::::::::Now. If you'd like to read our policy/policies and try to explain, as I suggested, where your actions were allowed, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts. I'm not speaking about unwritten rules or whatever you want to complain about. This site has written rules. You violated the written rules. You were punished according to the written rules. So if you want to complain, you can tell me where it was ''written'' that your actions were permitted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:13, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::: See, this is what I mean about you overlooking the rules and ignoring them to justify your blocks. I used the other person’s talk page ''twice'', and they made no such communications, using edit summaries ''only'', and the entire paragraph above what you quoted is about using talk pages to resolve disputes. They did not listen to either warning, and yet somehow I’m the bad guy for trying to avoid the very block you gave me. You did not warn me I was going to be blocked for this time. I was not told I was edit warring. Being told I was edit warring does not prove that I was edit warring. If Force Fire’s continual reversions of conteny he disagrees with is not an edit war, then the definition provided in the rules means nothing. If their excuses for edit warring are valid, then it applies to everyone. Precedent states that I was not edit warring. Unconstructive edits are allowed to be reverted. Therefore, the block is unwarranted and must be either lifted or reduced to a single day, because you did not follow procedure. Context matters, and you completely disregarded it in making your decision. It seems even when I follow staff directives, I get blocked for it--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 19:21, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
{{indent}}You are reading into our rules what you think they should say when they do not.

You say: <code>I used the other personal l’s talk page ''twice'', and they made no such communications, using edit summaries ''only'', and the entire paragraph above what you quoted is about using talk pages to resolve disputes. They did not listen to either warning, and yet somehow I’m the bad guy for trying to avoid the very block you gave me.</code> The fact of the matter is, our rules do not make any allowance for a user to continue reverting another just because they're "trying" to communicate. Our rules are very clear. If you revert someone three times, that's an edit war and blockable. That's it. Simple. It tells you what you should do INSTEAD of edit warring. But "trying" to communicate does not mean that it's now impossible for your actions to constitute edit warring. You're supposed to discuss it...period. Not try to discuss it and keep reverting if they don't answer. If they don't answer, as I said: bring it to {{bp|staff}}. If you revert three times, you're edit warring.

You say: <code>You did not warn me I was going to be blocked for this time. I was not told I was edit warring. Being told I was edit warring does not prove that I was edit warring.</code> The rules do not say that a user must be warned before they can be blocked in every instance. Warnings are meant to make users aware of inappropriate behavior. If they continue that behavior despite past warnings, they will be blocked. You have had many warnings. We are not required to warn someone who should already know they're misbehaving. If you don't understand it, especially after many warnings, that's your problem much more than ours. And you harp on about "proof"; what you're really saying is that no one should be able to enforce consequences on you unless you agree to them, and that's just not how it works.

ForceFire is staff, staff enforce site policy. You are not staff. You do not get to act like staff just because you think you should be allowed to. Your comparison is invalid.

You say: <code>Unconstructive edits are allowed to be reverted.</code> There is definitely no absolute permission for any user to revert "unconstructive" edits. That's a value judgement. No regular user gets to make those decisions all on their own; they can't, or the result would simply be anarchy, with everyone thinking they're right and not required to abide by anyone else. What's true is: any edit is allowed to be reverted. If you do it too much, it becomes edit warring. Pretty simple.

:If you weren’t supposed to give me a warning, why bring it up at all? In essence, regular users following standards and procedures, ie, site policy, is against site policy. YOU BLOCKED ME FOR FOLLOWING SITE POLICY AND PRECEDENT. That’s what you’re saying out loud. You can’t block me for interpreting what I’ve been told differently than you. You are selectively enforcing the rules in an effort to maintain powers you have accumulated too much of. If my edits can’t enforce site policy, then why have a site policy at all? Once again, I’m being picked on for edit warring I did not commit, and I have proven my innocence.

== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off. Also, appearances should pertain to the Pokemon itself, anything other Pokemon or characters do that doesn't involve the Pokemon itself should not be noted (like mentioning that May chose Squirtle on Bulbasaur's page).

::Rewording is fine, though some of your edits weren't really necessary (like the aforementioned merging of minor roles that skewers the chronology of appearances).

Section editing gives off the implication that you are not using the preview button. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
:You still seem to be just editing sections at a time. If you see or notice multiple sections needing to be edited, please use the ''edit this page'' button at the top of the page. This will help reduce clutter on the '''Recent changes''' page. Also, please make sure to use the ''Show preview'' button before saving changes, this ways you will not have to edit the page multiple times and can get everything updated and changed in one edit. Please and thank you, have a delightful day. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:05, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions. That was the factor in your block, it was not just because of one occasion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such. Why don’t his reversions mean anything? Why do his edits where he jumped the gun in the middle of a discussion factor into the reasoning of the reversions. Why am I responsible for the actions of another user?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 10:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it.

:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.
::::::The problem with that edit wasn't what you said in the edit summary, the problem was that you reverted it anyway rather than coming to me and ask what I meant with my edit summary (which I already explained in my initial comment).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war. Both of you accused me of doing things I didn’t even do in order to justify your action.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it. I'm suspecting you because I did a check and some things matched, namely the device the both of you edited from are the exact same. All I needed was a yes or a no, and a short explanation. Not a whole paragraph. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the issue.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:::You’re still accusing me of edit warring, when everything you’re accusing me of doing is stuff only you and GrammarFreak did. You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up. The fact that you didn’t respond when I stated points 3 and 4 the first time in the previous section definitely arouses suspicion of your motives--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

==Move Variations==

I am unsure if the edit I made on the Move variations page was bad. Can you tell me what I did wrong and how I could improve on it in the future? I also remember me doing a similar edit on adding Meteor Assault but no one removed it. Can you explain why that is?
[[User:PeakA|PeakA]] ([[User talk:PeakA|talk]]) 23:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them.

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Farfetch%27d_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3168566&oldid=3168560 your revision] of the {{p|Farfetch'd}} anime section features this: "<nowiki>[[Holly]]'s Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', under the ownership of.</nowiki> [sic]" That's something that could've been prevented had you used the preview button. Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

:I also notice you sometimes like to alternate between using the present tense and the past tense without any explanation.

== Sunflora ==

It's like I mentioned [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#.22Bulbapedia_is_not_Wikipedia.22 earlier], information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) should be sourced.

== The Preview Button, again ==

I'm not sure what it looked like to you, but my screen interpreted [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY009&type=revision&diff=3181413&oldid=3178895 your edit] on [[XY009]] as using a [http://www.clearlingo.co.nz/blog/new-zealand-english-single-or-double-quote-marks single quotation mark] instead of an apostrophe mark. I ''strongly'' urge you to use the preview button, because I noticed you occasionally use single quotation marks with some of your edits. They stand out even more because they're ''beginning'' quotation marks. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados.

As Force Fire explained, just because a wild Pokémon is playing a similar role (most likely as a reference EP001, as it was one of the very first Pokémon seen) does not confirm that they are indeed the same wild Pokémon, a point that I must agree with. This is also another reminder to use the talk page when you are in disagreement about an edit or if someone has undone your edit, you once again just readded your edit, which is edit warring.

Heya. So, it's been apparent that you have some concerns with staff in general, and with Force Fire in particular. Unfortunately, you keep bringing them up in the middle of other substantial questions and I think it kind of gets lost in the midst of trying to stay on topic.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

Good day.

Here, Force Fire was ''correct'' because he was restoring the status of an article back to the condition it was before a large controversial edit was made. Even though you used the talk page, you took it upon yourself to insert yourself into making sure ''others'' were following the policies/rules in the way you interpreted them. This is not the place of a general user, if you feel rules/policies/procedures are not being followed, you are to contact staff and you are to give them the time needed to mediate the situation. While there's no issue with you disagreeing with staff or individual members of staff, it becomes problematic when these disagreements becomes attitudes of general vindictiveness that influence conduct and edit wars you've inserted yourself into.

Making sure others follow the rules isn’t me imposing powers that I don’t have, it’s ensuring that double standards are not being held on non-powered users. Defending such bypasses shows where the priorities are. My block should never have been imposed. You blocked me accusing me of things you never actually proved--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Original sentence: "Before a fight broke out, Volbeat, along with the other Pokémon, was calmed down by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}."

Your new sentence: "{{OBP|Celebi|M13}} calmed all attackers down before a fight could break out."

I'm not sure what you interpreted from the original sentence, but from my perspective, nothing looks wrong, and if it ain't broke, it probably shouldn't be fixed. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

== Edit summaries ==

When reverting someone, make sure that you provide a clear reason in your edit summary. Just saying that something was removed "[[Special:Diff/3207815|for a reason]]" doesn't make it clear to the other user why they were reverted. If the addition was incorrect, say that; if there's some stylistic reason, say what it is. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:05, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

== What? ==

How am I blocked ''again'' when I went to the edit warring user’s talkpage and they ignored my warning about their edits? How is it that only when I’m involved reverted edits that I’m ''always blocked''? What did I do wrong this time?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Edit warring ==

You have been blocked for [[edit warring]] on [[EP001]]. If you have a disagreement with another user, you discuss it with them, you don't keep trying to make your edit. And discussing doesn't mean using the edit summaries; you use the article's talk page or go directly to the person you're having a conflict with.

Please keep this in mind when your block is lifted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

:::Then why do admins get to? The only person edit warring was Apikachu. The only error here is that I was blocked for removing unconstructive edits, and the unconstructive editor ignored their messages. The disagreement was Apikachu's, not mine. I was restoring the page to the status quo, as is procedure on Bulbapedia. You can’t keep blocking me for following the rules. I tried discussing it with the user, the fact that you’re blatantly overlooking that to justify your block and your message when it doesn’t apply means my block should not exist--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:36, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

::::You do not decide if you are right; if we "allowed" that, everyone would be right because of course they are, who's going to think differently about what ''they'' want. You don't judge your rightness. You follow the site's rules. And that means no edit warring. If you have a problem, talk with the user. If that's not working, go to staff.

:::::::May’s Blaziken, Dawn’s Piplup, Serena’s Braixen. Force Fire reverts first without explanation or consensus. He then has me blocked for edit warring and “Intimidating behavior” with no evidence because they weren’t following the rules. They were never blocked for his part in the edit war. He also previously blocked me (but not themselves) for allegedly edit warring over the use of “western”, which I successfully appealed. Every time they blocked me, they restored it to ''their'' preferred version, just so they could win, like getting upset that the toys you’re not supposed to keep to yourself are being played with, so you incapacitate the person who dared to stand near it. And on my previous block, the blocking policy was crafted in such a way that admins can do whatever they want, get away with it, and win every disagreement they get involved in, using aspects directly inspired by what Force Fire did to get me blocked. That was a straight power grab and everyone can see it. You shouldn’t be changing the rules just because they’re used against you. You shouldn’t be blocking lower users who follow the rules exactly as you do as best they can. My block is invalid.

::::::::::It’s not a past issue. It’s the same issue: Punishing me for following the rules. I showed that there was precedent for my actions, actions which are not against the rules. It’s not a distraction either because it shows that policy is riddled with flaws that are designed to hurt instead of help. What you are pulling is selective enforcement. For someone who blocked me for allegedly breaking the rules, you still haven’t proven I’ve broken any, and the burden of proof is on you. Considering Force Fire was upset that I wasn’t following unwritten rules, I’m seeing a lot of hypocrisy, and again, selective enforcement. If you can’t prove your reasons for blocking me, I shouldn’t be blocked--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:46, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::Burden of proof? Sure, I'll follow that for a step or two.
:::::::::::[[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy]] outlines how we block users. This establishes what a block is, how we enact them, and what violations we carry them out for.
:::::::::::Under Procedure, it says: ''If a user fails to follow the policies and guidelines of Bulbapedia, official warnings should be issued by a member of staff, guiding them away from inappropriate behavior. A user who does not adhere to warnings and persists in rule breaking behavior, or substantially violates Bulbapedia's rules, may be blocked.'' There are several reasons you should be aware of edit warring, the infraction at issue currently. One: it's in your welcome template: ''Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.'' I honestly don't expect everyone to read it, but it's there. Two: in your first {{DL||block}}, you were warned about edit warring. You were told it was a blockable offense. Three: in the topic about {{DL||GalarPony}}, ForceFire explained edit warring in detail again. Four: in the topic {{DL||PeakA and GrammarFreak}}, you were warned against edit warring yet again. Five: in your {{DL||second block}}, you were blocked for edit warring. Six: in the section {{DL||Minor Appearances}}, Pokemaster97 reminded you about edit warring. Seven: your {{DL||Third Block}} was in part for edit warring again.
:::::::::::(The short version of all that is: you were warned, as our policy suggests...and amply. Honestly, I didn't realize it was explicitly so much. Consider yourself lucky this block is only 4 days. But anyway, back to your proof.)
:::::::::::Under the section Blockable offenses of the {{bp|blocking policy}} is the section {{DL|Bulbapedia:Blocking policy|Edit/revert wars}}. It says: <code>An edit war occurs when users who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions. Bulbapedia generally treats three reverts/back-and-forth edits to determine if an edit war is taking place</code>. So, this is the crux of your block. This is the rule you broke. On [[EP001]], you reverted Apikachu a total of six times. And 6 >= 3. Even allowing for what happened in the past few hours, you reverted Apikachu four times. And 4 >= 3. Since you reverted another user at least three times, you were blocked for edit warring.
:::::::::::That's my burden of proof.
:::::::::::Now. If you'd like to read our policy/policies and try to explain, as I suggested, where your actions were allowed, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts. I'm not speaking about unwritten rules or whatever you want to complain about. This site has written rules. You violated the written rules. You were punished according to the written rules. So if you want to complain, you can tell me where it was ''written'' that your actions were permitted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:13, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::: See, this is what I mean about you overlooking the rules and ignoring them to justify your blocks. I used the other person’s talk page ''twice'', and they made no such communications, using edit summaries ''only'', and the entire paragraph above what you quoted is about using talk pages to resolve disputes. They did not listen to either warning, and yet somehow I’m the bad guy for trying to avoid the very block you gave me. You did not warn me I was going to be blocked for this time. I was not told I was edit warring. Being told I was edit warring does not prove that I was edit warring. If Force Fire’s continual reversions of conteny he disagrees with is not an edit war, then the definition provided in the rules means nothing. If their excuses for edit warring are valid, then it applies to everyone. Precedent states that I was not edit warring. Unconstructive edits are allowed to be reverted. Therefore, the block is unwarranted and must be either lifted or reduced to a single day, because you did not follow procedure. Context matters, and you completely disregarded it in making your decision. It seems even when I follow staff directives, I get blocked for it--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 19:21, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
{{indent}}You are reading into our rules what you think they should say when they do not.

You say: <code>I used the other personal l’s talk page ''twice'', and they made no such communications, using edit summaries ''only'', and the entire paragraph above what you quoted is about using talk pages to resolve disputes. They did not listen to either warning, and yet somehow I’m the bad guy for trying to avoid the very block you gave me.</code> The fact of the matter is, our rules do not make any allowance for a user to continue reverting another just because they're "trying" to communicate. Our rules are very clear. If you revert someone three times, that's an edit war and blockable. That's it. Simple. It tells you what you should do INSTEAD of edit warring. But "trying" to communicate does not mean that it's now impossible for your actions to constitute edit warring. You're supposed to discuss it...period. Not try to discuss it and keep reverting if they don't answer. If they don't answer, as I said: bring it to {{bp|staff}}. If you revert three times, you're edit warring.

You say: <code>You did not warn me I was going to be blocked for this time. I was not told I was edit warring. Being told I was edit warring does not prove that I was edit warring.</code> The rules do not say that a user must be warned before they can be blocked in every instance. Warnings are meant to make users aware of inappropriate behavior. If they continue that behavior despite past warnings, they will be blocked. You have had many warnings. We are not required to warn someone who should already know they're misbehaving. If you don't understand it, especially after many warnings, that's your problem much more than ours. And you harp on about "proof"; what you're really saying is that no one should be able to enforce consequences on you unless you agree to them, and that's just not how it works.

ForceFire is staff, staff enforce site policy. You are not staff. You do not get to act like staff just because you think you should be allowed to. Your comparison is invalid.

You say: <code>Unconstructive edits are allowed to be reverted.</code> There is definitely no absolute permission for any user to revert "unconstructive" edits. That's a value judgement. No regular user gets to make those decisions all on their own; they can't, or the result would simply be anarchy, with everyone thinking they're right and not required to abide by anyone else. What's true is: any edit is allowed to be reverted. If you do it too much, it becomes edit warring. Pretty simple.

:If you weren’t supposed to give me a warning, why bring it up at all? In essence, regular users following standards and procedures, ie, site policy, is against site policy. YOU BLOCKED ME FOR FOLLOWING SITE POLICY AND PRECEDENT. That’s what you’re saying out loud. You can’t block me for interpreting what I’ve been told differently than you.

== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off.

::Rewording is fine, though some of your edits weren't really necessary (like the aforementioned merging of minor roles that skewers the chronology of appearances).

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions. That was the factor in your block, it was not just because of one occasion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::And it's one day per reversion on the Squirtle article, including GrammarFreak's edit you reverted previously.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such. Why don’t his reversions mean anything? Why do his edits where he jumped the gun in the middle of a discussion factor into the reasoning of the reversions. Why am I responsible for the actions of another user?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 10:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it. I've brought it up with the other staff members to see if GrammarFreak should be blocked as well.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.
::::::The problem with that edit wasn't what you said in the edit summary, the problem was that you reverted it anyway rather than coming to me and ask what I meant with my edit summary (which I already explained in my initial comment).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war. Both of you accused me of doing things I didn’t even do in order to justify your action.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it. I'm suspecting you because I did a check and some things matched, namely the device the both of you edited from are the exact same. All I needed was a yes or a no, and a short explanation. Not a whole paragraph. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the issue.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:::You’re still accusing me of edit warring, when everything you’re accusing me of doing is stuff only you and GrammarFreak did. You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up. The fact that you didn’t respond when I stated points 3 and 4 the first time in the previous section definitely arouses suspicion of your motives--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

==Move Variations==

I am unsure if the edit I made on the Move variations page was bad. Can you tell me what I did wrong and how I could improve on it in the future? I also remember me doing a similar edit on adding Meteor Assault but no one removed it. Can you explain why that is?
[[User:PeakA|PeakA]] ([[User talk:PeakA|talk]]) 23:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them. It will allow you to check if your latest post is properly indented on a talk page. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
:When I write commas, I only have the curly. And no, the titles aren’t just italicized in the lead, they’re in the section titles too. I mean, come on now.

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Farfetch%27d_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3168566&oldid=3168560 your revision] of the {{p|Farfetch'd}} anime section features this: "<nowiki>[[Holly]]'s Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', under the ownership of.</nowiki> [sic]" That's something that could've been prevented had you used the preview button. Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

:I also notice you sometimes like to alternate between using the present tense and the past tense without any explanation.

It's like I mentioned [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#.22Bulbapedia_is_not_Wikipedia.22 earlier], information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) should be sourced.

== The Preview Button, again ==

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados.

Heya. So, it's been apparent that you have some concerns with staff in general, and with Force Fire in particular. Unfortunately, you keep bringing them up in the middle of other substantial questions and I think it kind of gets lost in the midst of trying to stay on topic.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

When reverting someone, make sure that you provide a clear reason in your edit summary. Just saying that something was removed "[[Special:Diff/3207815|for a reason]]" doesn't make it clear to the other user why they were reverted. If the addition was incorrect, say that; if there's some stylistic reason, say what it is. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:05, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
:I thought [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Dusclops_(Pokémon)&diff=prev&oldid=3207554 this explanation] I made on Dusclops was pretty clear. I didn’t think I’d have to repeat myself--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 14:58, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
::It's better the provide the explanation each time you revert an edit, or at the very least leave a message on the talk page of the user you reverted. It's not necessarily obvious that they would need to look to another page's history to understand why the edit was reverted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:31, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

== What? ==

How am I blocked ''again'' when I went to the edit warring user’s talkpage and they ignored my warning about their edits? How is it that only when I’m involved reverted edits that I’m ''always blocked''? What did I do wrong this time?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Edit warring ==

You have been blocked for [[edit warring]] on [[EP001]]. If you have a disagreement with another user, you discuss it with them, you don't keep trying to make your edit. And discussing doesn't mean using the edit summaries; you use the article's talk page or go directly to the person you're having a conflict with.

Please keep this in mind when your block is lifted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:I went to the user's talkpage ''twice'' and they ignored me. Including right before you blocked me. My block shouldn’t exist--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:32, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

:::Then why do admins get to? The only person edit warring was Apikachu. The only error here is that I was blocked for removing unconstructive edits, and the unconstructive editor ignored their messages. The disagreement was Apikachu's, not mine. I was restoring the page to the status quo, as is procedure on Bulbapedia. You can’t keep blocking me for following the rules. I tried discussing it with the user, the fact that you’re blatantly overlooking that to justify your block and your message when it doesn’t apply means my block should not exist--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:36, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
::::I don't know what you think "admins get to", but you're not an admin. Nowhere should a reasonable person expect that staff and users are bound by exactly the same rules. Staff fundamentally have certain responsibilities to enforce order.
::::You were disagreeing with Apikachu. I'm not overlooking anything at all. I'm carrying out our rules.
::::You do not decide if you are right; if we "allowed" that, everyone would be right because of course they are, who's going to think differently about what ''they'' want. You don't judge your rightness. You follow the site's rules. And that means no edit warring. If you have a problem, talk with the user. If that's not working, go to staff. But you don't get a free pass on breaking rules. The rules are clear enough. Just follow them. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:42, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::If admins are not held to the same standards as regular users then there shouldn’t be admins at all. ''You have not proven that I edit warred''. You don’t get to block people just because you didn’t like that I followed standards and procedures to a T. It wasn’t my edit that I was reverting to, it was the website’s. And unless you’re saying Bulbapedia is wrong, I should not be blocked. If my block is upheld, then you are conceding it is about rightness because you continue to feel right about blocking me when all the other evidence says otherwise--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:48, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

:::::::May’s Blaziken, Dawn’s Piplup, Serena’s Braixen. Force Fire reverts first without explanation or consensus. He then has me blocked for edit warring and “Intimidating behavior” with no evidence because they weren’t following the rules. They were never blocked for his part in the edit war. He also previously blocked me (but not themselves) for allegedly edit warring over the use of “western”, which I successfully appealed. Every time they blocked me, they restored it to ''their'' preferred version, just so they could win, like getting upset that the toys you’re not supposed to keep to yourself are being played with, so you incapacitate the person who dared to stand near it. And on my previous block, the blocking policy was crafted in such a way that admins can do whatever they want, get away with it, and win every disagreement they get involved in, using aspects directly inspired by what Force Fire did to get me blocked. That was a straight power grab and everyone can see it. You shouldn’t be changing the rules just because they’re used against you. You shouldn’t be blocking lower users who follow the rules exactly as you do as best they can. My block is invalid. End of story.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:33, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
::::::::I understand you disagree with something that happened a while ago. I'd be happy to discuss that, but at this point, that's only a distraction. If we can settle the current issue, I'll come back to that^.
::::::::So, just to repeat: Can you describe to me where in our rules your actions were permitted? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:42, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
::::::::::It’s not a past issue. It’s the same issue: Punishing me for following the rules. I showed that there was precedent for my actions, actions which are not against the rules. It’s not a distraction either because it shows that policy is riddled with flaws that are designed to hurt instead of help. What you are pulling is selective enforcement. For someone who blocked me for allegedly breaking the rules, you still haven’t proven I’ve broken any, and the burden of proof is on you. Considering Force Fire was upset that I wasn’t following unwritten rules, I’m seeing a lot of hypocrisy, and again, selective enforcement. If you can’t prove your reasons for blocking me, I shouldn’t be blocked--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:46, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::Burden of proof? Sure, I'll follow that for a step or two.
:::::::::::[[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy]] outlines how we block users. This establishes what a block is, how we enact them, and what violations we carry them out for.
:::::::::::Under Procedure, it says: ''If a user fails to follow the policies and guidelines of Bulbapedia, official warnings should be issued by a member of staff, guiding them away from inappropriate behavior. A user who does not adhere to warnings and persists in rule breaking behavior, or substantially violates Bulbapedia's rules, may be blocked.'' There are several reasons you should be aware of edit warring, the infraction at issue currently. One: it's in your welcome template: ''Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.'' I honestly don't expect everyone to read it, but it's there. Two: in your first {{DL||block}}, you were warned about edit warring. You were told it was a blockable offense. Three: in the topic about {{DL||GalarPony}}, ForceFire explained edit warring in detail again. Four: in the topic {{DL||PeakA and GrammarFreak}}, you were warned against edit warring yet again. Five: in your {{DL||second block}}, you were blocked for edit warring. Six: in the section {{DL||Minor Appearances}}, Pokemaster97 reminded you about edit warring. Seven: your {{DL||Third Block}} was in part for edit warring again.
:::::::::::(The short version of all that is: you were warned, as our policy suggests...and amply. Honestly, I didn't realize it was explicitly so much. Consider yourself lucky this block is only 4 days. But anyway, back to your proof.)
:::::::::::Under the section Blockable offenses of the {{bp|blocking policy}} is the section {{DL|Bulbapedia:Blocking policy|Edit/revert wars}}. It says: <code>An edit war occurs when users who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions. Bulbapedia generally treats three reverts/back-and-forth edits to determine if an edit war is taking place</code>. So, this is the crux of your block. This is the rule you broke. On [[EP001]], you reverted Apikachu a total of six times. And 6 >= 3. Even allowing for what happened in the past few hours, you reverted Apikachu four times. And 4 >= 3. Since you reverted another user at least three times, you were blocked for edit warring.
:::::::::::That's my burden of proof.
:::::::::::Now. If you'd like to read our policy/policies and try to explain, as I suggested, where your actions were allowed, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts. I'm not speaking about unwritten rules or whatever you want to complain about. This site has written rules. You violated the written rules. You were punished according to the written rules. So if you want to complain, you can tell me where it was ''written'' that your actions were permitted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:13, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::: See, this is what I mean about you overlooking the rules and ignoring them to justify your blocks. I used the other person’s talk page ''twice'', and they made no such communications, using edit summaries ''only'', and the entire paragraph above what you quoted is about using talk pages to resolve disputes. They did not listen to either warning, and yet somehow I’m the bad guy for trying to avoid the very block you gave me. You did not warn me I was going to be blocked for this time. I was not told I was edit warring. Precedent states that I was not edit warring. Unconstructive edits are allowed to be reverted. Therefore, the block is unwarranted and must be either lifted or reduced to a single day, because you did not follow procedure. Context matters, and you completely disregarded it in making your decision. It seems even when I follow staff directives, I get blocked for it--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 19:21, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off. Also, appearances should pertain to the Pokemon itself, anything other Pokemon or characters do that doesn't involve the Pokemon itself should not be noted (like mentioning that May chose Squirtle on Bulbasaur's page).

::Rewording is fine, though some of your edits weren't really necessary (like the aforementioned merging of minor roles that skewers the chronology of appearances).

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions.

:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such.

::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it.

:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.
::::::The problem with that edit wasn't what you said in the edit summary, the problem was that you reverted it anyway rather than coming to me and ask what I meant with my edit summary (which I already explained in my initial comment).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war.

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it.

You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up. The fact that you didn’t respond when I stated points 3 and 4 the first time in the previous section definitely arouses suspicion of your motives--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

==Move Variations==

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them. It will allow you to check if your latest post is properly indented on a talk page. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
:When I write commas, I only have the curly. And no, the titles aren’t just italicized in the lead, they’re in the section titles too. I mean, come on now.

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Farfetch%27d_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3168566&oldid=3168560 your revision] of the {{p|Farfetch'd}} anime section features this: "<nowiki>[[Holly]]'s Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', under the ownership of.</nowiki> [sic]" That's something that could've been prevented had you used the preview button. Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

:I also notice you sometimes like to alternate between using the present tense and the past tense without any explanation.

== Sunflora ==

It's like I mentioned [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#.22Bulbapedia_is_not_Wikipedia.22 earlier], information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) should be sourced. Even if it looks obvious, leaving one article like that sets up a precedent for looser original research being used in other articles.

== The Preview Button, again ==

I'm not sure what it looked like to you, but my screen interpreted [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY009&type=revision&diff=3181413&oldid=3178895 your edit] on [[XY009]] as using a [http://www.clearlingo.co.nz/blog/new-zealand-english-single-or-double-quote-marks single quotation mark] instead of an apostrophe mark. I ''strongly'' urge you to use the preview button, because I noticed you occasionally use single quotation marks with some of your edits. They stand out even more because they're ''beginning'' quotation marks. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:I must’ve missed it, I’m sorry. It looked like a straight apostrophe to me, as was my intent, but clearly it didn’t happen that way.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 07:31, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

As Force Fire explained, just because a wild Pokémon is playing a similar role (most likely as a reference EP001, as it was one of the very first Pokémon seen) does not confirm that they are indeed the same wild Pokémon, a point that I must agree with. This is also another reminder to use the talk page when you are in disagreement about an edit or if someone has undone your edit, you once again just readded your edit, which is edit warring. This isn't the first instance of this, please do your best to communicate on talk pages where possible. The next instance of this will not result in a warning. Thank you.

:That is not the case here. It is very clearly the same Dodrio. You are mistaking continuity maintenance with coincidence. I just left a message on Force Fire’s talk page.

::I chose to revert you because you simply redid your edit with no explanation or message whatsoever, I cannot understand where you are coming from until you have explained your reasoning, which is why I reached out to you on your talk page.

Editing the message somewhat [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:GrammarFreak01&diff=prev&oldid=3195430 falsifies] the signature's original timestamp. Have a good day!

== Q&A ==

Heya. So, it's been apparent that you have some concerns with staff in general, and with Force Fire in particular. Unfortunately, you keep bringing them up in the middle of other substantial questions and I think it kind of gets lost in the midst of trying to stay on topic.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

== Renaming other users' sandbox articles ==

I don't think it's a good idea to spontaneously rename another user's sandbox, especially without their permission. It's their sandbox article; they can do whatever they wish to it.

== Third Block ==

Good day. While I appreciate the attention that you've drawn to some of the gaps within some of Bulbapedia's pages and policies, some of your conduct has escalated and amounted to what can be considered intimidating behavior/harassment. As a non-member of staff [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mewtwo_Sea&diff=prev&oldid=3202458 edits like this] are inappropriate and feels like you are assuming bad-faith in nature. It is also apparent that you are still [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=May%27s_Blaziken&action=history edit warring] and taking it upon yourself to try to enforce policy. Here, Force Fire was ''correct'' because he was restoring the status of an article back to the condition it was before a large controversial edit was made. Even though you used the talk page, you took it upon yourself to insert yourself into making sure ''others'' were following the policies/rules in the way you interpreted them. This is not the place of a general user, if you feel rules/policies/procedures are not being followed, you are to contact staff and you are to give them the time needed to mediate the situation. While there's no issue with you disagreeing with staff or individual members of staff, it becomes problematic when these disagreements becomes attitudes of general vindictiveness that influence conduct and edit wars you've inserted yourself into. You have been blocked for a week. Upon your return, I hope that you are able to assume less bad-faith and to try to be less combative while editing so we can ensure Bulbapedia remains a positive experience for everyone.

:Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter, Force Fire didn’t have consensus, and he was edit warring. If you believe that Force Fire wasn’t edit warring, then what are the rules for? Intimidating and harassing lower users when they follow them? The fact that you framed my actions as “vindictive” based on a single edit shows that the block was not in good faith. The fact that you’re calling this a third block when the first two were never legitimate shows that good faith was never the intention. Making sure others follow the rules isn’t me imposing powers that I don’t have, it’s ensuring that double standards are not being held on non-powered users.

A user who does not adhere to warnings and persists in rule breaking behavior, or substantially violates Bulbapedia's rules, may be blocked.'' There are several reasons you should be aware of edit warring, the infraction at issue currently. One: it's in your welcome template: ''Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.'' I honestly don't expect everyone to read it, but it's there. Two: in your first {{DL||block}}, you were warned about edit warring. You were told it was a blockable offense. Three: in the topic about {{DL||GalarPony}}, ForceFire explained edit warring in detail again. Four: in the topic {{DL||PeakA and GrammarFreak}}, you were warned against edit warring yet again. Five: in your {{DL||second block}}, you were blocked for edit warring. Six: in the section {{DL||Minor Appearances}}, Pokemaster97 reminded you about edit warring. Seven: your {{DL||Third Block}} was in part for edit warring again.
:::::::::::(The short version of all that is: you were warned, as our policy suggests...and amply. Honestly, I didn't realize it was explicitly so much. Consider yourself lucky this block is only 4 days. But anyway, back to your proof.)
:::::::::::Under the section Blockable offenses of the {{bp|blocking policy}} is the section {{DL|Bulbapedia:Blocking policy|Edit/revert wars}}. It says: <code>An edit war occurs when users who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions. Bulbapedia generally treats three reverts/back-and-forth edits to determine if an edit war is taking place</code>. So, this is the crux of your block. This is the rule you broke. On [[EP001]], you reverted Apikachu a total of six times. And 6 >= 3. Even allowing for what happened in the past few hours, you reverted Apikachu four times. And 4 >= 3. Since you reverted another user at least three times, you were blocked for edit warring.
:::::::::::That's my burden of proof.
:::::::::::Now. If you'd like to read our policy/policies and try to explain, as I suggested, where your actions were allowed, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts. I'm not speaking about unwritten rules or whatever you want to complain about. This site has written rules. You violated the written rules. You were punished according to the written rules. So if you want to complain, you can tell me where it was ''written'' that your actions were permitted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:13, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::: See, this is what I mean about you overlooking the rules and ignoring them to justify your blocks. I used the other person’s talk page ''twice'', and they made no such communications, using edit summaries ''only'', and the entire paragraph above what you quoted is about using talk pages to resolve disputes. They did not listen to either warning, and yet somehow I’m the bad guy for trying to avoid the very block you gave me. You did not warn me I was going to be blocked for this time. I was not told I was edit warring. Precedent states that I was not edit warring. Unconstructive edits are allowed to be reverted. Therefore, the block is unwarranted and must be either lifted or reduced to a single day, because you did not follow procedure. Context matters, and you completely disregarded it in making your decision.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 19:21, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off. Also, appearances should pertain to the Pokemon itself, anything other Pokemon or characters do that doesn't involve the Pokemon itself should not be noted (like mentioning that May chose Squirtle on Bulbasaur's page). Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
:Can we at least work to reduce some of the repetitive language? A complete reversion seems a bit excessive--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 05:00, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
::Rewording is fine, though some of your edits weren't really necessary (like the aforementioned merging of minor roles that skewers the chronology of appearances). And don't merge multiple sections, like merging Ash's Squirtle with the Squirtle Squad, they are two different entities.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

== Section editing ==

Section editing gives off the implication that you are not using the preview button. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
:You still seem to be just editing sections at a time. If you see or notice multiple sections needing to be edited, please use the ''edit this page'' button at the top of the page. This will help reduce clutter on the '''Recent changes''' page. Also, please make sure to use the ''Show preview'' button before saving changes, this ways you will not have to edit the page multiple times and can get everything updated and changed in one edit. Please and thank you, have a delightful day. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:05, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions. That was the factor in your block, it was not just because of one occasion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::And it's one day per reversion on the Squirtle article, including GrammarFreak's edit you reverted previously.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such. Why don’t his reversions mean anything? Why do his edits where he jumped the gun in the middle of a discussion factor into the reasoning of the reversions. Why am I responsible for the actions of another user?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 10:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it. I've brought it up with the other staff members to see if GrammarFreak should be blocked as well.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.
::::::The problem with that edit wasn't what you said in the edit summary, the problem was that you reverted it anyway rather than coming to me and ask what I meant with my edit summary (which I already explained in my initial comment).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war. Both of you accused me of doing things I didn’t even do in order to justify your action.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it. I'm suspecting you because I did a check and some things matched, namely the device the both of you edited from are the exact same. All I needed was a yes or a no, and a short explanation. Not a whole paragraph. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the issue.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:::You’re still accusing me of edit warring, when everything you’re accusing me of doing is stuff only you and GrammarFreak did. You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up. The fact that you didn’t respond when I stated points 3 and 4 the first time in the previous section definitely arouses suspicion of your motives--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

==Move Variations==

I am unsure if the edit I made on the Move variations page was bad. Can you tell me what I did wrong and how I could improve on it in the future? I also remember me doing a similar edit on adding Meteor Assault but no one removed it. Can you explain why that is?
[[User:PeakA|PeakA]] ([[User talk:PeakA|talk]]) 23:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

== "Bulbapedia is not Wikipedia" ==

While [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKnightGalarie&type=revision&diff=3167350&oldid=3167332 that] may be true, it is my strong understanding that information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) needs to be sourced. I noticed you removed perfectly valid sources from the [[JN024|SS024]] and [[JN025|SS025]] articles without explanation, so I've restored them as such.

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them. It will allow you to check if your latest post is properly indented on a talk page. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
:When I write commas, I only have the curly. And no, the titles aren’t just italicized in the lead, they’re in the section titles too. I mean, come on now. There’s nothing in the manual of style saying fictional movies must be unitalicized.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:08, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Farfetch%27d_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3168566&oldid=3168560 your revision] of the {{p|Farfetch'd}} anime section features this: "<nowiki>[[Holly]]'s Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', under the ownership of.</nowiki> [sic]" That's something that could've been prevented had you used the preview button. Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

:I also notice you sometimes like to alternate between using the present tense and the past tense without any explanation. While there are very few exceptions to using the present tense, generally, the past tense is required to be used for all appearance entries in the anime, manga, etc. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:27, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
::If you’re going to complain about my edits, please do not make your prime example visibly older than what I had been doing at the time of my block. The example you gave was over a week old at the time of your message, leaving no room to account for any changes to my editing behavior that had happened in the intervening time--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 20:23, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

== Sunflora ==

It's like I mentioned [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#.22Bulbapedia_is_not_Wikipedia.22 earlier], information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) should be sourced. Even if it looks obvious, leaving one article like that sets up a precedent for looser original research being used in other articles. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:13, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== The Preview Button, again ==

I'm not sure what it looked like to you, but my screen interpreted [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY009&type=revision&diff=3181413&oldid=3178895 your edit] on [[XY009]] as using a [http://www.clearlingo.co.nz/blog/new-zealand-english-single-or-double-quote-marks single quotation mark] instead of an apostrophe mark. I ''strongly'' urge you to use the preview button, because I noticed you occasionally use single quotation marks with some of your edits. They stand out even more because they're ''beginning'' quotation marks. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:I must’ve missed it, I’m sorry. It looked like a straight apostrophe to me, as was my intent, but clearly it didn’t happen that way.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 07:31, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
::Okay. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:34, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
:That is a flagrant misinterpretation of Yuyama’s words. The Ho-Oh is not hopping timelines or dimensions--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 05:45, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

As Force Fire explained, just because a wild Pokémon is playing a similar role (most likely as a reference EP001, as it was one of the very first Pokémon seen) does not confirm that they are indeed the same wild Pokémon, a point that I must agree with. This is also another reminder to use the talk page when you are in disagreement about an edit or if someone has undone your edit, you once again just readded your edit, which is edit warring.

== Editing messages ==

Hey there. Just for the future reference, it's better to make a new comment than to edit the old one, even if the most recent one is your's. Editing the message somewhat [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:GrammarFreak01&diff=prev&oldid=3195430 falsifies] the signature's original timestamp. Have a good day!

== Q&A ==

Heya. So, it's been apparent that you have some concerns with staff in general, and with Force Fire in particular. Unfortunately, you keep bringing them up in the middle of other substantial questions and I think it kind of gets lost in the midst of trying to stay on topic.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

== Renaming other users' sandbox articles ==

I don't think it's a good idea to spontaneously rename another user's sandbox, especially without their permission. It's their sandbox article; they can do whatever they wish to it. And if it's mainspaced by an admin, I'm sure the admin will keep the new series title in mind when they do so.

== Third Block ==

Good day. While I appreciate the attention that you've drawn to some of the gaps within some of Bulbapedia's pages and policies, some of your conduct has escalated and amounted to what can be considered intimidating behavior/harassment. As a non-member of staff [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mewtwo_Sea&diff=prev&oldid=3202458 edits like this] are inappropriate and feels like you are assuming bad-faith in nature. It is also apparent that you are still [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=May%27s_Blaziken&action=history edit warring] and taking it upon yourself to try to enforce policy. Here, Force Fire was ''correct'' because he was restoring the status of an article back to the condition it was before a large controversial edit was made. Even though you used the talk page, you took it upon yourself to insert yourself into making sure ''others'' were following the policies/rules in the way you interpreted them. This is not the place of a general user, if you feel rules/policies/procedures are not being followed, you are to contact staff and you are to give them the time needed to mediate the situation. While there's no issue with you disagreeing with staff or individual members of staff, it becomes problematic when these disagreements becomes attitudes of general vindictiveness that influence conduct and edit wars you've inserted yourself into. You have been blocked for a week. Upon your return, I hope that you are able to assume less bad-faith and to try to be less combative while editing so we can ensure Bulbapedia remains a positive experience for everyone.

:Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter, Force Fire didn’t have consensus, and he was edit warring. If you believe that Force Fire wasn’t edit warring, then what are the rules for? Intimidating and harassing lower users when they follow them? The fact that you framed my actions as “vindictive” based on a single edit shows that the block was not in good faith. The fact that you’re calling this a third block when the first two were never legitimate shows that good faith was never the intention. Making sure others follow the rules isn’t me imposing powers that I don’t have, it’s ensuring that double standards are not being held on non-powered users. Defending such bypasses shows where the priorities are. My block should never have been imposed.

Original sentence: "Before a fight broke out, Volbeat, along with the other Pokémon, was calmed down by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}."

Your new sentence: "{{OBP|Celebi|M13}} calmed all attackers down before a fight could break out."

== Edit summaries ==

When reverting someone, make sure that you provide a clear reason in your edit summary. Just saying that something was removed "[[Special:Diff/3207815|for a reason]]" doesn't make it clear to the other user why they were reverted.

== Edit warring ==

You have been blocked for [[edit warring]] on [[EP001]]. If you have a disagreement with another user, you discuss it with them, you don't keep trying to make your edit. And discussing doesn't mean using the edit summaries; you use the article's talk page or go directly to the person you're having a conflict with.

Please keep this in mind when your block is lifted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

:::Then why do admins get to? The only person edit warring was Apikachu. The only error here is that I was blocked for removing unconstructive edits, and the unconstructive editor ignored their messages. The disagreement was Apikachu's, not mine. I was restoring the page to the status quo, as is procedure on Bulbapedia. You can’t keep blocking me for following the rules. I tried discussing it with the user, the fact that you’re blatantly overlooking that to justify your block and your message when it doesn’t apply means my block should not exist--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:36, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
::::I don't know what you think "admins get to", but you're not an admin. Nowhere should a reasonable person expect that staff and users are bound by exactly the same rules. Staff fundamentally have certain responsibilities to enforce order.
::::You were disagreeing with Apikachu. I'm not overlooking anything at all. I'm carrying out our rules.
::::You do not decide if you are right; if we "allowed" that, everyone would be right because of course they are, who's going to think differently about what ''they'' want. You don't judge your rightness. You follow the site's rules. And that means no edit warring. If you have a problem, talk with the user. If that's not working, go to staff.

:::::::May’s Blaziken, Dawn’s Piplup, Serena’s Braixen. Force Fire reverts first without explanation or consensus. He then has me blocked for edit warring and “Intimidating behavior” with no evidence because they weren’t following the rules. They were never blocked for his part in the edit war. He also previously blocked me (but not themselves) for allegedly edit warring over the use of “western”, which I successfully appealed. Every time they blocked me, they restored it to ''their'' preferred version, just so they could win, like getting upset that the toys you’re not supposed to keep to yourself are being played with, so you incapacitate the person who dared to stand near it. And on my previous block, the blocking policy was crafted in such a way that admins can do whatever they want, get away with it, and win every disagreement they get involved in, using aspects directly inspired by what Force Fire did to get me blocked. That was a straight power grab and everyone can see it. You shouldn’t be changing the rules just because they’re used against you. You shouldn’t be blocking lower users who follow the rules exactly as you do as best they can. My block is invalid.

::::::::::It’s not a past issue. It’s the same issue: Punishing me for following the rules. I showed that there was precedent for my actions, actions which are not against the rules. It’s not a distraction either because it shows that policy is riddled with flaws that are designed to hurt instead of help. What you are pulling is selective enforcement. For someone who blocked me for allegedly breaking the rules, you still haven’t proven I’ve broken any, and the burden of proof is on you. Considering Force Fire was upset that I wasn’t following unwritten rules, I’m seeing a lot of hypocrisy, and again, selective enforcement. If you can’t prove your reasons for blocking me, I shouldn’t be blocked--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:46, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::Burden of proof? Sure, I'll follow that for a step or two.
:::::::::::[[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy]] outlines how we block users. This establishes what a block is, how we enact them, and what violations we carry them out for.
:::::::::::Under Procedure, it says: ''If a user fails to follow the policies and guidelines of Bulbapedia, official warnings should be issued by a member of staff, guiding them away from inappropriate behavior. A user who does not adhere to warnings and persists in rule breaking behavior, or substantially violates Bulbapedia's rules, may be blocked.'' There are several reasons you should be aware of edit warring, the infraction at issue currently. One: it's in your welcome template: ''Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.'' I honestly don't expect everyone to read it, but it's there. Two: in your first {{DL||block}}, you were warned about edit warring. You were told it was a blockable offense. Three: in the topic about {{DL||GalarPony}}, ForceFire explained edit warring in detail again. Four: in the topic {{DL||PeakA and GrammarFreak}}, you were warned against edit warring yet again. Five: in your {{DL||second block}}, you were blocked for edit warring. Six: in the section {{DL||Minor Appearances}}, Pokemaster97 reminded you about edit warring. Seven: your {{DL||Third Block}} was in part for edit warring again.
:::::::::::(The short version of all that is: you were warned, as our policy suggests...and amply. Honestly, I didn't realize it was explicitly so much. Consider yourself lucky this block is only 4 days. But anyway, back to your proof.)
:::::::::::Under the section Blockable offenses of the {{bp|blocking policy}} is the section {{DL|Bulbapedia:Blocking policy|Edit/revert wars}}. It says: <code>An edit war occurs when users who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions. Bulbapedia generally treats three reverts/back-and-forth edits to determine if an edit war is taking place</code>. So, this is the crux of your block. This is the rule you broke. On [[EP001]], you reverted Apikachu a total of six times. And 6 >= 3. Even allowing for what happened in the past few hours, you reverted Apikachu four times. And 4 >= 3. Since you reverted another user at least three times, you were blocked for edit warring.
:::::::::::That's my burden of proof.
:::::::::::Now. If you'd like to read our policy/policies and try to explain, as I suggested, where your actions were allowed, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts. I'm not speaking about unwritten rules or whatever you want to complain about. This site has written rules. You violated the written rules. You were punished according to the written rules. So if you want to complain, you can tell me where it was ''written'' that your actions were permitted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:13, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::: See, this is what I mean about you overlooking the rules and ignoring them to justify your blocks. You did not warn me I was going to be blocked for this time. I was not told I was edit warring. Precedent states that I was not edit warring. Unconstructive edits are allowed to be reverted. Therefore, the block is unwarranted and must be either lifted or reduced to a single day, because you did not follow procedure.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 19:21, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off.

If it's going to be used like that, it needs to be for the beginning of a different sentence, otherwise it should be replaced with "but" or a similar connector.

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions. That was the factor in your block, it was not just because of one occasion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such. Why don’t his reversions mean anything? Why do his edits where he jumped the gun in the middle of a discussion factor into the reasoning of the reversions. Why am I responsible for the actions of another user?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 10:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it. I've brought it up with the other staff members to see if GrammarFreak should be blocked as well.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.
::::::The problem with that edit wasn't what you said in the edit summary, the problem was that you reverted it anyway rather than coming to me and ask what I meant with my edit summary (which I already explained in my initial comment).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war. Both of you accused me of doing things I didn’t even do in order to justify your action.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it. I'm suspecting you because I did a check and some things matched, namely the device the both of you edited from are the exact same. All I needed was a yes or a no, and a short explanation. Not a whole paragraph. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the issue.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:::You’re still accusing me of edit warring, when everything you’re accusing me of doing is stuff only you and GrammarFreak did. You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up. The fact that you didn’t respond when I stated points 3 and 4 the first time in the previous section definitely arouses suspicion of your motives--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

==Move Variations==

I am unsure if the edit I made on the Move variations page was bad. Can you tell me what I did wrong and how I could improve on it in the future? I also remember me doing a similar edit on adding Meteor Assault but no one removed it. Can you explain why that is?
[[User:PeakA|PeakA]] ([[User talk:PeakA|talk]]) 23:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them. It will allow you to check if your latest post is properly indented on a talk page. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
:When I write commas, I only have the curly. And no, the titles aren’t just italicized in the lead, they’re in the section titles too. I mean, come on now.

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases.

Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

It's like I mentioned [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#.22Bulbapedia_is_not_Wikipedia.22 earlier], information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) should be sourced.

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

== Volbeat edit ==

Original sentence: "Before a fight broke out, Volbeat, along with the other Pokémon, was calmed down by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}."

Your new sentence: "{{OBP|Celebi|M13}} calmed all attackers down before a fight could break out."

I'm not sure what you interpreted from the original sentence, but from my perspective, nothing looks wrong, and if it ain't broke, it probably shouldn't be fixed. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
:Then stop breaking it--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
::Huh? You were the one who was breaking it first. It's not really a good use of editing capabilities to just reword a sentence to a version that pretty much means the same thing, unless there's a grammatical or punctuation problem. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:28, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
:::It does not mean the same thing! “Before a fight broke out” means the fight happened after. “Before a fight could break out” means the fight was prevented.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 20:31, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
::::Oh, okay. Next time, clarify that part of your argument right away instead of just saying things like "There was no reason to change this back" and "It’s implying that a fight broke out after everyone calmed down". The presence of "before" in the original version still threw me off. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:35, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::For clarification, it's good to be as specific as possible about the issue right away in order to cut down on misunderstandings and potential edit-wars that ensue because of it. Don't start off with "There was no reason to change this back". [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:51, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

== Edit summaries ==

When reverting someone, make sure that you provide a clear reason in your edit summary. Just saying that something was removed "[[Special:Diff/3207815|for a reason]]" doesn't make it clear to the other user why they were reverted. If the addition was incorrect, say that; if there's some stylistic reason, say what it is. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:05, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
:I thought [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Dusclops_(Pokémon)&diff=prev&oldid=3207554 this explanation] I made on Dusclops was pretty clear. I didn’t think I’d have to repeat myself--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 14:58, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
::It's better the provide the explanation each time you revert an edit, or at the very least leave a message on the talk page of the user you reverted. It's not necessarily obvious that they would need to look to another page's history to understand why the edit was reverted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:31, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

== What? ==

How am I blocked ''again'' when I went to the edit warring user’s talkpage and they ignored my warning about their edits? How is it that only when I’m involved reverted edits that I’m ''always blocked''? What did I do wrong this time?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Edit warring ==

You have been blocked for [[edit warring]] on [[EP001]]. If you have a disagreement with another user, you discuss it with them, you don't keep trying to make your edit. And discussing doesn't mean using the edit summaries; you use the article's talk page or go directly to the person you're having a conflict with.

Please keep this in mind when your block is lifted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:I went to the user's talkpage ''twice'' and they ignored me. Including right before you blocked me. My block shouldn’t exist--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:32, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
::Let me highlight your error.
::<code>If you have a disagreement with another user, you discuss it with them, you don't keep trying to make your edit.</code> [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:33, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::Then why do admins get to? The only person edit warring was Apikachu. The only error here is that I was blocked for removing unconstructive edits, and the unconstructive editor ignored their messages. The disagreement was Apikachu's, not mine. I was restoring the page to the status quo, as is procedure on Bulbapedia. You can’t keep blocking me for following the rules. I tried discussing it with the user, the fact that you’re blatantly overlooking that to justify your block and your message when it doesn’t apply means my block should not exist--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:36, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
::::I don't know what you think "admins get to", but you're not an admin. Nowhere should a reasonable person expect that staff and users are bound by exactly the same rules. Staff fundamentally have certain responsibilities to enforce order.
::::You were disagreeing with Apikachu. I'm not overlooking anything at all. I'm carrying out our rules.
::::You do not decide if you are right; if we "allowed" that, everyone would be right because of course they are, who's going to think differently about what ''they'' want. You don't judge your rightness. You follow the site's rules. And that means no edit warring. If you have a problem, talk with the user. If that's not working, go to staff. But you don't get a free pass on breaking rules. The rules are clear enough. Just follow them. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:42, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::If admins are not held to the same standards as regular users then there shouldn’t be admins at all. ''You have not proven that I edit warred''. You don’t get to block people just because you didn’t like that I followed standards and procedures to a T. It wasn’t my edit that I was reverting to, it was the website’s. And unless you’re saying Bulbapedia is wrong, I should not be blocked. If my block is upheld, then you are conceding it is about rightness because you continue to feel right about blocking me when all the other evidence says otherwise--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:48, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
::::::You do understand that Bulbapedia has rules, yes? And if you break those rules, there are consequences...yes?
::::::Can you describe to me where in our rules your actions were permitted? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:03, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::::May’s Blaziken, Dawn’s Piplup, Serena’s Braixen. Force Fire reverts first without explanation or consensus. He then has me blocked for edit warring and “Intimidating behavior” with no evidence because they weren’t following the rules. They were never blocked for his part in the edit war. He also previously blocked me (but not themselves) for allegedly edit warring over the use of “western”, which I successfully appealed. Every time they blocked me, they restored it to ''their'' preferred version, just so they could win, like getting upset that the toys you’re not supposed to keep to yourself are being played with, so you incapacitate the person who dared to stand near it. And on my previous block, the blocking policy was crafted in such a way that admins can do whatever they want, get away with it, and win every disagreement they get involved in, using aspects directly inspired by what Force Fire did to get me blocked. That was a straight power grab and everyone can see it. You shouldn’t be changing the rules just because they’re used against you. You shouldn’t be blocking lower users who follow the rules exactly as you do as best they can. My block is invalid. End of story.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:33, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
::::::::I understand you disagree with something that happened a while ago. I'd be happy to discuss that, but at this point, that's only a distraction. If we can settle the current issue, I'll come back to that^.
::::::::So, just to repeat: Can you describe to me where in our rules your actions were permitted? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:42, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
::::::::::It’s not a past issue. It’s the same issue: Punishing me for following the rules. I showed precedent for my actions, actions which are not against the rules. What you are pulling is selective enforcement. For someone who blocked me for allegedly breaking the rules, you still haven’t proven I’ve broken any, and the burden of proof is on you. Considering Force Fire was upset that I wasn’t following unwritten rules, I’m seeing a lot of hypocrisy, and again, selective enforcement. If you can’t prove your reasons for blocking me, I shouldn’t be blocked--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:46, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off. Also, appearances should pertain to the Pokemon itself, anything other Pokemon or characters do that doesn't involve the Pokemon itself should not be noted (like mentioning that May chose Squirtle on Bulbasaur's page). Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

::Rewording is fine, though some of your edits weren't really necessary (like the aforementioned merging of minor roles that skewers the chronology of appearances).

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions.

:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such.

Why am I responsible for the actions of another user?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 10:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it.

:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.
::::::The problem with that edit wasn't what you said in the edit summary, the problem was that you reverted it anyway rather than coming to me and ask what I meant with my edit summary (which I already explained in my initial comment).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war. Both of you accused me of doing things I didn’t even do in order to justify your action.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it. I'm suspecting you because I did a check and some things matched, namely the device the both of you edited from are the exact same. All I needed was a yes or a no, and a short explanation. Not a whole paragraph. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the issue.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:::You’re still accusing me of edit warring, when everything you’re accusing me of doing is stuff only you and GrammarFreak did. You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up. The fact that you didn’t respond when I stated points 3 and 4 the first time in the previous section definitely arouses suspicion of your motives--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

==Move Variations==

I noticed you removed perfectly valid sources from the [[JN024|SS024]] and [[JN025|SS025]] articles without explanation, so I've restored them as such.

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them. It will allow you to check if your latest post is properly indented on a talk page. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
:When I write commas, I only have the curly. And no, the titles aren’t just italicized in the lead, they’re in the section titles too. I mean, come on now.

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Farfetch%27d_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3168566&oldid=3168560 your revision] of the {{p|Farfetch'd}} anime section features this: "<nowiki>[[Holly]]'s Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', under the ownership of.</nowiki> [sic]" That's something that could've been prevented had you used the preview button. Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

:I also notice you sometimes like to alternate between using the present tense and the past tense without any explanation. While there are very few exceptions to using the present tense, generally, the past tense is required to be used for all appearance entries in the anime, manga, etc. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:27, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

== Sunflora ==

It's like I mentioned [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#.22Bulbapedia_is_not_Wikipedia.22 earlier], information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) should be sourced. Even if it looks obvious, leaving one article like that sets up a precedent for looser original research being used in other articles. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:13, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== The Preview Button, again ==

I'm not sure what it looked like to you, but my screen interpreted [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY009&type=revision&diff=3181413&oldid=3178895 your edit] on [[XY009]] as using a [http://www.clearlingo.co.nz/blog/new-zealand-english-single-or-double-quote-marks single quotation mark] instead of an apostrophe mark. I ''strongly'' urge you to use the preview button, because I noticed you occasionally use single quotation marks with some of your edits. They stand out even more because they're ''beginning'' quotation marks. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:I must’ve missed it, I’m sorry. It looked like a straight apostrophe to me, as was my intent, but clearly it didn’t happen that way.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 07:31, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

As Force Fire explained, just because a wild Pokémon is playing a similar role (most likely as a reference EP001, as it was one of the very first Pokémon seen) does not confirm that they are indeed the same wild Pokémon, a point that I must agree with. This is also another reminder to use the talk page when you are in disagreement about an edit or if someone has undone your edit, you once again just readded your edit, which is edit warring.

I just wondering that according in the biology of Galarian Slowbro, it's mouth is purple. But in it's appearance, Galarian Slowbro's mouth is grey, not purple. His head, paws, & tail are purple. But his mouth is grey.

== Editing messages ==

Hey there. Just for the future reference, it's better to make a new comment than to edit the old one, even if the most recent one is your's. Editing the message somewhat [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:GrammarFreak01&diff=prev&oldid=3195430 falsifies] the signature's original timestamp. Have a good day!

== Q&A ==

Heya. So, it's been apparent that you have some concerns with staff in general, and with Force Fire in particular. Unfortunately, you keep bringing them up in the middle of other substantial questions and I think it kind of gets lost in the midst of trying to stay on topic.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

== Renaming other users' sandbox articles ==

I don't think it's a good idea to spontaneously rename another user's sandbox, especially without their permission. It's their sandbox article; they can do whatever they wish to it.

== Third Block ==

Good day. While I appreciate the attention that you've drawn to some of the gaps within some of Bulbapedia's pages and policies, some of your conduct has escalated and amounted to what can be considered intimidating behavior/harassment. As a non-member of staff [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mewtwo_Sea&diff=prev&oldid=3202458 edits like this] are inappropriate and feels like you are assuming bad-faith in nature. It is also apparent that you are still [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=May%27s_Blaziken&action=history edit warring] and taking it upon yourself to try to enforce policy. Here, Force Fire was ''correct'' because he was restoring the status of an article back to the condition it was before a large controversial edit was made. Even though you used the talk page, you took it upon yourself to insert yourself into making sure ''others'' were following the policies/rules in the way you interpreted them. This is not the place of a general user, if you feel rules/policies/procedures are not being followed, you are to contact staff and you are to give them the time needed to mediate the situation. While there's no issue with you disagreeing with staff or individual members of staff, it becomes problematic when these disagreements becomes attitudes of general vindictiveness that influence conduct and edit wars you've inserted yourself into. You have been blocked for a week. Upon your return, I hope that you are able to assume less bad-faith and to try to be less combative while editing so we can ensure Bulbapedia remains a positive experience for everyone.

:Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter, Force Fire didn’t have consensus, and he was edit warring. If you believe that Force Fire wasn’t edit warring, then what are the rules for? Intimidating and harassing lower users when they follow them? The fact that you framed my actions as “vindictive” based on a single edit shows that the block was not in good faith. The fact that you’re calling this a third block when the first two were never legitimate shows that good faith was never the intention. Making sure others follow the rules isn’t me imposing powers that I don’t have, it’s ensuring that double standards are not being held on non-powered users.

Original sentence: "Before a fight broke out, Volbeat, along with the other Pokémon, was calmed down by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}."

Your new sentence: "{{OBP|Celebi|M13}} calmed all attackers down before a fight could break out."

When reverting someone, make sure that you provide a clear reason in your edit summary. Just saying that something was removed "[[Special:Diff/3207815|for a reason]]" doesn't make it clear to the other user why they were reverted.

== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off.

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions. That was the factor in your block, it was not just because of one occasion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such. Why don’t his reversions mean anything? Why do his edits where he jumped the gun in the middle of a discussion factor into the reasoning of the reversions. Why am I responsible for the actions of another user?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 10:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it.

:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.
::::::The problem with that edit wasn't what you said in the edit summary, the problem was that you reverted it anyway rather than coming to me and ask what I meant with my edit summary (which I already explained in my initial comment).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war. Both of you accused me of doing things I didn’t even do in order to justify your action.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it. I'm suspecting you because I did a check and some things matched, namely the device the both of you edited from are the exact same. All I needed was a yes or a no, and a short explanation. Not a whole paragraph. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the issue.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:::You’re still accusing me of edit warring, when everything you’re accusing me of doing is stuff only you and GrammarFreak did. You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up. The fact that you didn’t respond when I stated points 3 and 4 the first time in the previous section definitely arouses suspicion of your motives--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

==Move Variations==

I am unsure if the edit I made on the Move variations page was bad. Can you tell me what I did wrong and how I could improve on it in the future? I also remember me doing a similar edit on adding Meteor Assault but no one removed it. Can you explain why that is?
[[User:PeakA|PeakA]] ([[User talk:PeakA|talk]]) 23:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them.

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Farfetch%27d_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3168566&oldid=3168560 your revision] of the {{p|Farfetch'd}} anime section features this: "<nowiki>[[Holly]]'s Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', under the ownership of.</nowiki> [sic]" That's something that could've been prevented had you used the preview button. Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

:I also notice you sometimes like to alternate between using the present tense and the past tense without any explanation.

== Sunflora ==

It's like I mentioned [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#.22Bulbapedia_is_not_Wikipedia.22 earlier], information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) should be sourced.

== The Preview Button, again ==

I'm not sure what it looked like to you, but my screen interpreted [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY009&type=revision&diff=3181413&oldid=3178895 your edit] on [[XY009]] as using a [http://www.clearlingo.co.nz/blog/new-zealand-english-single-or-double-quote-marks single quotation mark] instead of an apostrophe mark. I ''strongly'' urge you to use the preview button, because I noticed you occasionally use single quotation marks with some of your edits. They stand out even more because they're ''beginning'' quotation marks. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados.

As Force Fire explained, just because a wild Pokémon is playing a similar role (most likely as a reference EP001, as it was one of the very first Pokémon seen) does not confirm that they are indeed the same wild Pokémon, a point that I must agree with. This is also another reminder to use the talk page when you are in disagreement about an edit or if someone has undone your edit, you once again just readded your edit, which is edit warring.

Heya. So, it's been apparent that you have some concerns with staff in general, and with Force Fire in particular. Unfortunately, you keep bringing them up in the middle of other substantial questions and I think it kind of gets lost in the midst of trying to stay on topic.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

Good day.

Here, Force Fire was ''correct'' because he was restoring the status of an article back to the condition it was before a large controversial edit was made. Even though you used the talk page, you took it upon yourself to insert yourself into making sure ''others'' were following the policies/rules in the way you interpreted them. This is not the place of a general user, if you feel rules/policies/procedures are not being followed, you are to contact staff and you are to give them the time needed to mediate the situation. While there's no issue with you disagreeing with staff or individual members of staff, it becomes problematic when these disagreements becomes attitudes of general vindictiveness that influence conduct and edit wars you've inserted yourself into.

Making sure others follow the rules isn’t me imposing powers that I don’t have, it’s ensuring that double standards are not being held on non-powered users. Defending such bypasses shows where the priorities are. My block should never have been imposed. You blocked me accusing me of things you never actually proved--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

:::Having viewed the diff, I think what KnightGalarie was meaning to say is that the paragraph in question didn't mention Shadow Pokémon anywhere else in it, so the topic just comes out of nowhere.

== Volbeat edit ==

Original sentence: "Before a fight broke out, Volbeat, along with the other Pokémon, was calmed down by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}."

Your new sentence: "{{OBP|Celebi|M13}} calmed all attackers down before a fight could break out."

I'm not sure what you interpreted from the original sentence, but from my perspective, nothing looks wrong, and if it ain't broke, it probably shouldn't be fixed. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
:Then stop breaking it--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
::Huh? You were the one who was breaking it first. It's not really a good use of editing capabilities to just reword a sentence to a version that pretty much means the same thing, unless there's a grammatical or punctuation problem. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:28, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

::::Oh, okay. Next time, clarify that part of your argument right away instead of just saying things like "There was no reason to change this back" and "It’s implying that a fight broke out after everyone calmed down". The presence of "before" in the original version still threw me off. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:35, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

== Edit summaries ==

When reverting someone, make sure that you provide a clear reason in your edit summary. Just saying that something was removed "[[Special:Diff/3207815|for a reason]]" doesn't make it clear to the other user why they were reverted. If the addition was incorrect, say that; if there's some stylistic reason, say what it is. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:05, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

::It's better the provide the explanation each time you revert an edit, or at the very least leave a message on the talk page of the user you reverted.

What did I do wrong this time?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Edit warring ==

You have been blocked for [[edit warring]] on [[EP001]]. If you have a disagreement with another user, you discuss it with them, you don't keep trying to make your edit.

Please keep this in mind when your block is lifted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off. Also, appearances should pertain to the Pokemon itself, anything other Pokemon or characters do that doesn't involve the Pokemon itself should not be noted (like mentioning that May chose Squirtle on Bulbasaur's page).

::Rewording is fine, though some of your edits weren't really necessary (like the aforementioned merging of minor roles that skewers the chronology of appearances).

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions. That was the factor in your block, it was not just because of one occasion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such. Why don’t his reversions mean anything? Why do his edits where he jumped the gun in the middle of a discussion factor into the reasoning of the reversions. Why am I responsible for the actions of another user?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 10:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it.

:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.
::::::The problem with that edit wasn't what you said in the edit summary, the problem was that you reverted it anyway rather than coming to me and ask what I meant with my edit summary (which I already explained in my initial comment).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war. Both of you accused me of doing things I didn’t even do in order to justify your action.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it. I'm suspecting you because I did a check and some things matched, namely the device the both of you edited from are the exact same. All I needed was a yes or a no, and a short explanation. Not a whole paragraph. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the issue.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:::You’re still accusing me of edit warring, when everything you’re accusing me of doing is stuff only you and GrammarFreak did. You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up.

I am unsure if the edit I made on the Move variations page was bad. Can you tell me what I did wrong and how I could improve on it in the future? I also remember me doing a similar edit on adding Meteor Assault but no one removed it. Can you explain why that is?
[[User:PeakA|PeakA]] ([[User talk:PeakA|talk]]) 23:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them. It will allow you to check if your latest post is properly indented on a talk page. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
:When I write commas, I only have the curly. And no, the titles aren’t just italicized in the lead, they’re in the section titles too. I mean, come on now.

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Farfetch%27d_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3168566&oldid=3168560 your revision] of the {{p|Farfetch'd}} anime section features this: "<nowiki>[[Holly]]'s Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', under the ownership of.</nowiki> [sic]" That's something that could've been prevented had you used the preview button. Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

:I also notice you sometimes like to alternate between using the present tense and the past tense without any explanation. While there are very few exceptions to using the present tense, generally, the past tense is required to be used for all appearance entries in the anime, manga, etc. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:27, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
::If you’re going to complain about my edits, please do not make your prime example visibly older than what I had been doing at the time of my block.

== Sunflora ==

It's like I mentioned [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#.22Bulbapedia_is_not_Wikipedia.22 earlier], information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) should be sourced. Even if it looks obvious, leaving one article like that sets up a precedent for looser original research being used in other articles. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:13, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== The Preview Button, again ==

I'm not sure what it looked like to you, but my screen interpreted [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY009&type=revision&diff=3181413&oldid=3178895 your edit] on [[XY009]] as using a [http://www.clearlingo.co.nz/blog/new-zealand-english-single-or-double-quote-marks single quotation mark] instead of an apostrophe mark. I ''strongly'' urge you to use the preview button, because I noticed you occasionally use single quotation marks with some of your edits. They stand out even more because they're ''beginning'' quotation marks. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:I must’ve missed it, I’m sorry. It looked like a straight apostrophe to me, as was my intent, but clearly it didn’t happen that way.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 07:31, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
:That is a flagrant misinterpretation of Yuyama’s words. The Ho-Oh is not hopping timelines or dimensions--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 05:45, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

As Force Fire explained, just because a wild Pokémon is playing a similar role (most likely as a reference EP001, as it was one of the very first Pokémon seen) does not confirm that they are indeed the same wild Pokémon, a point that I must agree with. This is also another reminder to use the talk page when you are in disagreement about an edit or if someone has undone your edit, you once again just readded your edit, which is edit warring.

== Galarian Slowbro & other edits ==
I just wondering that according in the biology of Galarian Slowbro, it's mouth is purple. But in it's appearance, Galarian Slowbro's mouth is grey, not purple. His head, paws, & tail are purple. But his mouth is grey. Also you been removing my edits where in the Sun & Moon Series, Pikachu & Meowth got a redesign where Pikachu eye's are more close, and the outline edges of Meowth's Eyes are removed.

== Editing messages ==

Hey there. Just for the future reference, it's better to make a new comment than to edit the old one, even if the most recent one is your's. Editing the message somewhat [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:GrammarFreak01&diff=prev&oldid=3195430 falsifies] the signature's original timestamp. Have a good day!

== Q&A ==

Heya. So, it's been apparent that you have some concerns with staff in general, and with Force Fire in particular. Unfortunately, you keep bringing them up in the middle of other substantial questions and I think it kind of gets lost in the midst of trying to stay on topic.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

== Renaming other users' sandbox articles ==

I don't think it's a good idea to spontaneously rename another user's sandbox, especially without their permission. It's their sandbox article; they can do whatever they wish to it.

== Third Block ==

Good day. While I appreciate the attention that you've drawn to some of the gaps within some of Bulbapedia's pages and policies, some of your conduct has escalated and amounted to what can be considered intimidating behavior/harassment. As a non-member of staff [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mewtwo_Sea&diff=prev&oldid=3202458 edits like this] are inappropriate and feels like you are assuming bad-faith in nature. It is also apparent that you are still [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=May%27s_Blaziken&action=history edit warring] and taking it upon yourself to try to enforce policy. Here, Force Fire was ''correct'' because he was restoring the status of an article back to the condition it was before a large controversial edit was made. Even though you used the talk page, you took it upon yourself to insert yourself into making sure ''others'' were following the policies/rules in the way you interpreted them. This is not the place of a general user, if you feel rules/policies/procedures are not being followed, you are to contact staff and you are to give them the time needed to mediate the situation. While there's no issue with you disagreeing with staff or individual members of staff, it becomes problematic when these disagreements becomes attitudes of general vindictiveness that influence conduct and edit wars you've inserted yourself into. You have been blocked for a week. Upon your return, I hope that you are able to assume less bad-faith and to try to be less combative while editing so we can ensure Bulbapedia remains a positive experience for everyone.

:Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter, Force Fire didn’t have consensus, and he was edit warring. If you believe that Force Fire wasn’t edit warring, then what are the rules for? Intimidating and harassing lower users when they follow them? The fact that you framed my actions as “vindictive” based on a single edit shows that the block was not in good faith. The fact that you’re calling this a third block when the first two were never legitimate shows that good faith was never the intention. Making sure others follow the rules isn’t me imposing powers that I don’t have, it’s ensuring that double standards are not being held on non-powered users.

== Edit summaries ==

When reverting someone, make sure that you provide a clear reason in your edit summary.

== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off.

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions. That was the factor in your block, it was not just because of one occasion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such. Why don’t his reversions mean anything? Why do his edits where he jumped the gun in the middle of a discussion factor into the reasoning of the reversions. Why am I responsible for the actions of another user?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 10:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it.

:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.

::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war. Both of you accused me of doing things I didn’t even do in order to justify your action.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it. I'm suspecting you because I did a check and some things matched, namely the device the both of you edited from are the exact same. All I needed was a yes or a no, and a short explanation. Not a whole paragraph. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the issue.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:::You’re still accusing me of edit warring, when everything you’re accusing me of doing is stuff only you and GrammarFreak did. You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up. The fact that you didn’t respond when I stated points 3 and 4 the first time in the previous section definitely arouses suspicion of your motives--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

[[User:PeakA|PeakA]] ([[User talk:PeakA|talk]]) 23:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them. It will allow you to check if your latest post is properly indented on a talk page. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
:When I write commas, I only have the curly. And no, the titles aren’t just italicized in the lead, they’re in the section titles too. I mean, come on now.

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Farfetch%27d_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3168566&oldid=3168560 your revision] of the {{p|Farfetch'd}} anime section features this: "<nowiki>[[Holly]]'s Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', under the ownership of.</nowiki> [sic]" That's something that could've been prevented had you used the preview button. Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure what it looked like to you, but my screen interpreted [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY009&type=revision&diff=3181413&oldid=3178895 your edit] on [[XY009]] as using a [http://www.clearlingo.co.nz/blog/new-zealand-english-single-or-double-quote-marks single quotation mark] instead of an apostrophe mark. I ''strongly'' urge you to use the preview button, because I noticed you occasionally use single quotation marks with some of your edits.

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados.

As Force Fire explained, just because a wild Pokémon is playing a similar role (most likely as a reference EP001, as it was one of the very first Pokémon seen) does not confirm that they are indeed the same wild Pokémon, a point that I must agree with. This is also another reminder to use the talk page when you are in disagreement about an edit or if someone has undone your edit, you once again just readded your edit, which is edit warring.

Heya. So, it's been apparent that you have some concerns with staff in general, and with Force Fire in particular. Unfortunately, you keep bringing them up in the middle of other substantial questions and I think it kind of gets lost in the midst of trying to stay on topic.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

Here, Force Fire was ''correct'' because he was restoring the status of an article back to the condition it was before a large controversial edit was made. Even though you used the talk page, you took it upon yourself to insert yourself into making sure ''others'' were following the policies/rules in the way you interpreted them.

== Edit summaries ==

When reverting someone, make sure that you provide a clear reason in your edit summary. Just saying that something was removed "[[Special:Diff/3207815|for a reason]]" doesn't make it clear to the other user why they were reverted. If the addition was incorrect, say that; if there's some stylistic reason, say what it is. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:05, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
:I thought [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Dusclops_(Pokémon)&diff=prev&oldid=3207554 this explanation] I made on Dusclops was pretty clear. I didn’t think I’d have to repeat myself--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 14:58, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
::It's better the provide the explanation each time you revert an edit, or at the very least leave a message on the talk page of the user you reverted. It's not necessarily obvious that they would need to look to another page's history to understand why the edit was reverted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:31, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

== What? ==

How am I blocked '''again'' when I went to the edit warring user’s talkpage and they ignored my warning about their edits? How is it that only when I’m involved reverted edits that I’m ''always blocked'''? What did I do wrong this time?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Edit warring ==

You have been blocked for [[edit warring]] on [[EP001]]. If you have a disagreement with another user, you discuss it with them, you don't keep trying to make your edit. And discussing doesn't mean using the edit summaries; you use the article's talk page or go directly to the person you're having a conflict with.

Please keep this in mind when your block is lifted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

== Anime appearances ==

The anime appearances should be listed in chronological order, so merging the very minor appearances throws that off. Also, appearances should pertain to the Pokemon itself, anything other Pokemon or characters do that doesn't involve the Pokemon itself should not be noted (like mentioning that May chose Squirtle on Bulbasaur's page). Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

::Rewording is fine, though some of your edits weren't really necessary (like the aforementioned merging of minor roles that skewers the chronology of appearances). And don't merge multiple sections, like merging Ash's Squirtle with the Squirtle Squad, they are two different entities.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

== Section editing ==
Please do not section edit, if you want to edit multiple sections, you can edit the whole "in the anime" section instead. Section editing gives off the implication that you are not using the preview button. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
:You still seem to be just editing sections at a time. If you see or notice multiple sections needing to be edited, please use the ''edit this page'' button at the top of the page. This will help reduce clutter on the '''Recent changes''' page. Also, please make sure to use the ''Show preview'' button before saving changes, this ways you will not have to edit the page multiple times and can get everything updated and changed in one edit.

== Block ==

As you have the habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first, you have been blocked for three days. Do not continuously revert an edit, it falls under edit warring and is a blockable offense. Discuss the issue with the user that reverted you, do not immediately jump for the undo button. The Squirtle in Ash's dream is ''not'' the same Squirtle that Gary chose as his starter.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:Please show me where I continuously reverted edits without a single discussion. To ignore the discussion I was part of is disingenuous, and blocking me takes me out of the discussions that I was already part of. There’s also the fact that the reversions I’m blocked for were because another user jumped the gun and made edits before consensus was reached. In fact, you jumped pretty quickly to the block button without a warning or a discussion over the passage you contested. Three days is pretty harsh--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 09:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::The Squirtle page. You've reverted me and GrammarFreak. And you reverted them previously on that article. You've also reverted their edits, and my edits, on several occasions. That was the factor in your block, it was not just because of one occasion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::And it's one day per reversion on the Squirtle article, including GrammarFreak's edit you reverted previously.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::Then it’s not continuous, and the block is unjustified. The first thing you cited was a “habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing it first”, but yet there is no evidence of such. Why don’t his reversions mean anything? Why do his edits where he jumped the gun in the middle of a discussion factor into the reasoning of the reversions. Why am I responsible for the actions of another user?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 10:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::"Habit of continuously reverting edits without discussing" was referring to your recent reversions, I had clearly said why that got removed in my edit summary, yet you still added it back without discussing it. I've brought it up with the other staff members to see if GrammarFreak should be blocked as well.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::How recently though? It has to be a really long stretch for it to be continuous. For something to be constant it has to be done way more than 2 or 3 times. One of the removals was to reduce redundancy as it stood at the time and I’m being penalized for that? Just because you feel like something is a war doesn’t make it one. How come you can use an edit summary but when I use the edit summary to say your reasoning doesn’t make sense as it pertains to the altered content, I get blocked for it? Isn’t that a double standard?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::The Squirtle article recent. You also have the tendency to revert any edits that you disagree with, without discussing it. This is something that can be seen by looking at your contributions. Your contributions imply that you are growing a habit of just reverting edits.
::::::The problem with that edit wasn't what you said in the edit summary, the problem was that you reverted it anyway rather than coming to me and ask what I meant with my edit summary (which I already explained in my initial comment).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::: My actual contributions say differently. You completely reverted my edits instead of focusing on the parts you actually had a problem with. You did that multiple times. For someone saying that I have a tendency to revert edits I disagree with without discussing it (which isn’t a crime), it seems you have the same problem, but for you it’s business as usual. Heck, GrammarFreak tried to undo many of my contributions ''without explaining what was wrong with them''. Only after reverting them did he try to claim a “standard writing style” that when asked couldn’t even cite when asked. And as for part two, it seems you feel justified in blocking me because I didn’t come to you? That’s pretty petty and shows I didn’t actually edit war. Both of you accused me of doing things I didn’t even do in order to justify your action.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

== GalarPony ==

I did a check and it would appear that both you and {{u|GalarPony}} share the exact same computer details, with one of your IP addresses being similar to the many IP addresses that GalarPony uses. That, and your behavior is somewhat similar to theirs in that the both of you get very defensive when something doesn't go your way. You both also edit war frequently and generally refuse to use the talk page to sort things out. Please clear up whether you are GalarPony, because if you are, this account will be indefinitely blocked as users are only allowed one account each. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:”[I] edit war frequently” is not a true statement. I’ve only been in one edit war. And “generally refuse to use the talk page” can’t be true either because I used the talk page in regards to both of you. You keep calling my behavior pattern that I’m a frequent edit warrer when there’s no evidence to back that up. It is impossible for GalarPony to be me. I didn’t even know GalarPony existed until I saw GrammarFreak make the baseless accusation. How can there be the same exact computer details if I’ve only made one account ON A CELLPHONE? There is nothing that makes sense about these accusations. The fact that you called the similarities “suspicious” as if two people both using terms from the same popular game is cause for alarm. If it’s alright, don’t make defensiveness the fault of the accused when they’re faced with baseless accusations, because I am not GalarPony. I chose this account name because of the “Night Gallery” (the ‘70s horror-themed anthology series hosted by Rod Serling) pun. Blocking someone because of similar names is stupid, it would be like blocking an account named “AlphaBettman” for being too similar to Abcboy--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 13:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::Continuously re-adding information that was previously removed counts as edit warring, that's what I meant by frequently edit warring. You have repeatedly add back information that was removed without asking why. That's why I said "generally", yes there are time when you used the talk page, but then there are time when you don't and just revert away.
::I'm not suspecting you of being GalarPony because of the name, hence why I didn't mention it. I'm suspecting you because I did a check and some things matched, namely the device the both of you edited from are the exact same. All I needed was a yes or a no, and a short explanation. Not a whole paragraph. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the issue.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:13, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
:::You’re still accusing me of edit warring, when everything you’re accusing me of doing is stuff only you and GrammarFreak did. You’re also flipflopping on whether I “never” go to the talk page (which caused the block) or I “sometimes” do. You specifically stated that you blocked me because I didn’t come to you, and stated that because GrammarFreak did, that got them a lighter sentence. You also took his word that his suspicions were reasonable when they weren’t. Your course of logic has so many holes. You’re showing obvious bias. Yes, you came to me, but not in good enough faith to avoid doubling down on baseless accusations like “Having the same exact device” like there aren’t multiple people with the same model of cellphone. Heck for all I know, you read my information twice and didn’t realize it. You didn’t approach this properly, and it really shows.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 15:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::Look at the revision history of the Squirtle article. GrammarFreak makes an edit, you reverted him. I reverted you, explaining why it was correct, yet you still reverted me. ''That'' is edit warring. And simply reverting other user's edits is something you commonly do. Someone makes an edit, you revert them (or re-add the information), someone else reverts you, and you re-add it back. ''That'' is edit warring. Simple as that.
::::There are multiple factors that got you blocked. Edit warring is the main one. The "not using the talk page" reason was ''specifically'' referring to you reverting me on the Squirtle article when I clearly said why the information does not go there in my edit summary. You were clearly confused on why the information was removed, but rather than come to me, you chose to revert it and used the edit summary to express your confusion.
::::GrammarFreak got a lighter block because his edit warring wasn't that extensive in this occasion. I did not take his word about the GalarPony thing, me not mentioning that whole "similar name" thing makes that rather clear. I acted on it because I did a more thorough check on your IP address and compared it to another user, who had the same details as you. And it's not far-fetched for someone to create a second account for whatever reason, there has been plenty of precedence for that on this site.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::1) The passage was about the Squirtle who became Gary’s. 2) The wholly correct and relevant information you removed was there long before I got here. You used the edit summary instead of coming to the talk page, a behavior you scolded me for and was a factor in my block. 2) You call it “continuously edit warring”, yet have only cited one example that lasted all of two reversions. That’s not continuous. That doesn’t even establish a pattern of behavior. 3) What you call “confusion” was a statement of fact. Your edit did not make sense. And because I stated so, you blocked me. After two reversions. 3) The extent of GrammarFreak’s edit warring is MASSIVE. He sought out to undo every one of my early edits to the Pokemon pages under the false claim that I was going against a non-existent writing style policy. 4) This was after you wholly reverted my edits on those same pages instead of fixing the parts you disagreed with. And yet I get labeled the edit warrer. It just doesn’t add up. The fact that you didn’t respond when I stated points 3 and 4 the first time in the previous section definitely arouses suspicion of your motives--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

==Move Variations==

I am unsure if the edit I made on the Move variations page was bad. Can you tell me what I did wrong and how I could improve on it in the future? I also remember me doing a similar edit on adding Meteor Assault but no one removed it. Can you explain why that is?
[[User:PeakA|PeakA]] ([[User talk:PeakA|talk]]) 23:02, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

== "Bulbapedia is not Wikipedia" ==

While [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKnightGalarie&type=revision&diff=3167350&oldid=3167332 that] may be true, it is my strong understanding that information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) needs to be sourced. I noticed you removed perfectly valid sources from the [[JN024|SS024]] and [[JN025|SS025]] articles without explanation, so I've restored them as such.

== Talk page indentation problem ==

If you're having trouble with figuring out how many colons are to properly indent a talk page post, as you say [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:KnightGalarie&oldid=3168397 here], then I strongly urge you to use the preview button. It's at the lower left portion of your editing screen. Click on it, and it will allow you to see your edits before you actually publish them. It will allow you to check if your latest post is properly indented on a talk page. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

== Fictional movies ==

It's a fictional movie. It doesn't need to be italicized. It's only italicized on the Pokemon films article because it's in the lead, which are always either bolded or italicized. Also, don't just continuously revert me and actually give me a minute to make a comment on your talk page. You just delayed me sending you this message each time you reverted me. I've protected it for 12 hours so I could actually send you this message without having to check the recent changes to see if you reverted me again. And also, use the preview button, you keep leaving behind small errors and typos. It's also really odd that you sometimes use the standard comma but then use the curly comma, sometimes in the same sentence.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
:When I write commas, I only have the curly. And no, the titles aren’t just italicized in the lead, they’re in the section titles too. I mean, come on now. There’s nothing in the manual of style saying fictional movies must be unitalicized.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 16:08, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

== Second block ==

As you have repeatedly shown a complete and utter refusal to use the talk page to settle differences, you have been blocked once more for a week. I've already explained my reasons in the edit summary, but just to re-iterate them: '''''stop''''' merging appearances. You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know. '''''Leave them as they are'''''. Secondly, yes, people call Western movies "Westerns" but you still need to clarify that you're talking about a Western movie. "... in a Western Brock reminisced..." is pure nonsense. What is a "Western Brock", is what people will think when they read that line.

And before you cry foul, yes, you '''were''' edit warring. And yes, you absolutely '''refused''' to use the talk page. It doesn't matter what ''you'' think qualifies as edit warring. If the staff says "reverting twice" is edit warring, then "reverting twice" is edit warring. And you repeatedly revert edits on '''''multiple''''' articles. Even if you were to revert once on multiple different articles, it '''''still''''' counts as edit warring. Because you are reverting '''more than one edit'''. It does not matter if those reversions were on different articles. Not one bit. They all fall under edit warring.

And use the preview button. You keep leaving behind stray brackets and commas, and leave behind fragments of sentences that you removed. And listen to staff members when they tell you not to do something. And use the talk page rather than continuously reverting edits. If you return to continue edit warring, not listen to staff, and refusing to use the talk page to settle disagreements, you '''''will''''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

While you may be blocked and unable to edit your own talk page, I felt it was pertinent to share these pieces of feedback before I forget. Having resumed my little scouring of editing the anime sections of Pokémon articles, I noticed a couple of patterns that I strongly believe need to be addressed as soon as you come back.

First off, you do not seem to be a fan of using "multiple", or at least a synonym, when it comes to addressing groups of one particular Pokémon species whose specific numbers are unknown. It is urgent that you do so anyway, because uninitiated readers will misinterpret certain entries and think a certain episode or movie featured one Pokémon as opposed to many. For example, you write [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seel_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3169668&oldid=3169664 here] that [[the Marina Group]] uses "{{p|Seel}}" for their show. But because of the wording of that sentence, an uninitiated reader wouldn't know if you meant to refer to ''one'' Seel or ''many''. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd like to believe this wiki strives to be as accurate as possible, all the way down to the wording. We're a hub of information, after all. So please, consider your wording for entries about singular or multiple Pokémon.

Secondly, you're clearly not using the preview button that I mentioned above, and if you are, you're not scanning your previewed edits thoroughly enough. This lack of efficient previewing shows strongly in some cases. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Farfetch%27d_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3168566&oldid=3168560 your revision] of the {{p|Farfetch'd}} anime section features this: "<nowiki>[[Holly]]'s Farfetch'd appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', under the ownership of.</nowiki> [sic]" That's something that could've been prevented had you used the preview button. Now, I understand there are some gaffes that can be overlooked (I've done my fair share of those), but the example I provided is a pretty egregious miss. I urge you to at least slow down and use the preview button before you proceed with your edits. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

:I also notice you sometimes like to alternate between using the present tense and the past tense without any explanation. While there are very few exceptions to using the present tense, generally, the past tense is required to be used for all appearance entries in the anime, manga, etc. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:27, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
::If you’re going to complain about my edits, please do not make your prime example visibly older than what I had been doing at the time of my block. The example you gave was over a week old at the time of your message, leaving no room to account for any changes to my editing behavior that had happened in the intervening time--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 20:23, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

== Sunflora ==

It's like I mentioned [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#.22Bulbapedia_is_not_Wikipedia.22 earlier], information that doesn't come from within the franchise (e.g. games, anime, manga, etc.) should be sourced. Even if it looks obvious, leaving one article like that sets up a precedent for looser original research being used in other articles. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:13, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== The Preview Button, again ==

I'm not sure what it looked like to you, but my screen interpreted [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=XY009&type=revision&diff=3181413&oldid=3178895 your edit] on [[XY009]] as using a [http://www.clearlingo.co.nz/blog/new-zealand-english-single-or-double-quote-marks single quotation mark] instead of an apostrophe mark. I ''strongly'' urge you to use the preview button, because I noticed you occasionally use single quotation marks with some of your edits. They stand out even more because they're ''beginning'' quotation marks. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:I must’ve missed it, I’m sorry. It looked like a straight apostrophe to me, as was my intent, but clearly it didn’t happen that way.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 07:31, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
::Okay. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:34, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

== Ho-Oh and Gyarados ==

In response to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=prev&oldid=3184420 this], director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] confirmed in an interview about [[M20]] that, and I quote the article: "The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh." This pretty much confirms the {{an|Ho-Oh}} seen in the anime and the Ho-Oh seen in the movie are one and the same, since the movie is, for all intents and purposes, a hypothetical scenario of Ash going after Ho-Oh instead of just letting it fly by like he did in the anime proper.

Because the movie's a hypothetical scenario, not to mention set in an ''alternate timeline'', it doesn't automatically mean the Gyarados and other Pokémon seen in the movie are the same Pokémon seen in the anime, just like Ho-Oh. It's only because of Yuyama's interview that we consider Ho-Oh to be one and the same in the anime and the movies. Had he not confirmed that, the site would have gone on the safe side and assumed we were dealing with a different Ho-Oh altogether, thus leading to the creation of a "Ho-Oh (M20)" article or something like that.

It's the same reason why we have different articles on the {{OBP|Mew|M01}} that appeared in [[M01|the first movie]] and the {{OBP|Mew|M08}} that appeared in [[M08|the eighth movie]], not to mention a section and a potential new article in the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Mew}} that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. I personally, strongly believe we are dealing with the same Mew across all continuities, but because no one in the anime staff has confirmed that for me, I have to settle with what the site has now.

Lastly, it's just as {{U|Force Fire}} told you before: "You're assuming that they are the same individuals just because it is the same location. We don't ''know'' if they are the same individuals and we will ''never'' know." On its own, the movie's premise that it is set in an alternate timeline throws objective doubt over whether we are dealing with the same Gyarados. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
:That is a flagrant misinterpretation of Yuyama’s words. The Ho-Oh is not hopping timelines or dimensions--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 05:45, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

As Force Fire explained, just because a wild Pokémon is playing a similar role (most likely as a reference EP001, as it was one of the very first Pokémon seen) does not confirm that they are indeed the same wild Pokémon, a point that I must agree with. This is also another reminder to use the talk page when you are in disagreement about an edit or if someone has undone your edit, you once again just readded your edit, which is edit warring.

== Editing messages ==

Hey there. Just for the future reference, it's better to make a new comment than to edit the old one, even if the most recent one is your's. Editing the message somewhat [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:GrammarFreak01&diff=prev&oldid=3195430 falsifies] the signature's original timestamp. Have a good day! [[User:Adil|'''Adil''']] — [[User talk:Adil|'''Talk page''']] 10:49, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

== Q&A ==

Heya. So, it's been apparent that you have some concerns with staff in general, and with Force Fire in particular. Unfortunately, you keep bringing them up in the middle of other substantial questions and I think it kind of gets lost in the midst of trying to stay on topic.

So I'd like to take some time to try to discuss the issues you have, here, without other topics mixing in to distract from them. I'd like to ask you to start off by framing your concerns for yourself. What are some of your concerns?

(Perhaps you want to choose one thing, and detail and focus on that first. I think that might be easier than throwing out several things at once. But if you want to get it all off your chest, I'll try to wrangle it as best I can.)

== Renaming other users' sandbox articles ==

I don't think it's a good idea to spontaneously rename another user's sandbox, especially without their permission. It's their sandbox article; they can do whatever they wish to it. And if it's mainspaced by an admin, I'm sure the admin will keep the new series title in mind when they do so. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 06:29, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
:I knew it was risky but I took it anyway. I don’t see the circumstances recurring enough where the temptation would resurface anyway, so it’s likely a one-time thing--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 06:31, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
::Okay. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 06:33, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
:::Don't be mistaken, I understand the need and urgency to rename it, given the new series title and all, but it's probably for the best to be courteous to our fellow users and give them a heads-up beforehand should this come up again. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 06:36, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Do not move a page in another person's user space without explicit permission. There are no special exemptions; it's not your page, just don't do it. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 13:12, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

== Third Block ==

Good day. While I appreciate the attention that you've drawn to some of the gaps within some of Bulbapedia's pages and policies, some of your conduct has escalated and amounted to what can be considered intimidating behavior/harassment. As a non-member of staff [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mewtwo_Sea&diff=prev&oldid=3202458 edits like this] are inappropriate and feels like you are assuming bad-faith in nature. It is also apparent that you are still [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=May%27s_Blaziken&action=history edit warring] and taking it upon yourself to try to enforce policy. Here, Force Fire was ''correct'' because he was restoring the status of an article back to the condition it was before a large controversial edit was made. Even though you used the talk page, you took it upon yourself to insert yourself into making sure ''others'' were following the policies/rules in the way you interpreted them. This is not the place of a general user, if you feel rules/policies/procedures are not being followed, you are to contact staff and you are to give them the time needed to mediate the situation. While there's no issue with you disagreeing with staff or individual members of staff, it becomes problematic when these disagreements becomes attitudes of general vindictiveness that influence conduct and edit wars you've inserted yourself into. You have been blocked for a week. Upon your return, I hope that you are able to assume less bad-faith and to try to be less combative while editing so we can ensure Bulbapedia remains a positive experience for everyone. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 18:35, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
:Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter, Force Fire didn’t have consensus, and he was edit warring. If you believe that Force Fire wasn’t edit warring, then what are the rules for? Intimidating and harassing lower users when they follow them? The fact that you framed my actions as “vindictive” based on a single edit shows that the block was not in good faith. The fact that you’re calling this a third block when the first two were never legitimate shows that good faith was never the intention. Making sure others follow the rules isn’t me imposing powers that I don’t have, it’s ensuring that double standards are not being held on non-powered users. Defending such bypasses shows where the priorities are. My block should never have been imposed. You blocked me accusing me of things you never actually proved--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 18:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

:::Having viewed the diff, I think what KnightGalarie was meaning to say is that the paragraph in question didn't mention Shadow Pokémon anywhere else in it, so the topic just comes out of nowhere.

== Volbeat edit ==

Original sentence: "Before a fight broke out, Volbeat, along with the other Pokémon, was calmed down by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}."

Your new sentence: "{{OBP|Celebi|M13}} calmed all attackers down before a fight could break out."

I'm not sure what you interpreted from the original sentence, but from my perspective, nothing looks wrong, and if it ain't broke, it probably shouldn't be fixed. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
:Then stop breaking it--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
::Huh? You were the one who was breaking it first. It's not really a good use of editing capabilities to just reword a sentence to a version that pretty much means the same thing, unless there's a grammatical or punctuation problem. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:28, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
:::It does not mean the same thing! “Before a fight broke out” means the fight happened after. “Before a fight could break out” means the fight was prevented.--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 20:31, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
::::Oh, okay. Next time, clarify that part of your argument right away instead of just saying things like "There was no reason to change this back" and "It’s implying that a fight broke out after everyone calmed down". The presence of "before" in the original version still threw me off. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:35, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::For clarification, it's good to be as specific as possible about the issue right away in order to cut down on misunderstandings and potential edit-wars that ensue because of it.

== Edit summaries ==

When reverting someone, make sure that you provide a clear reason in your edit summary. Just saying that something was removed "[[Special:Diff/3207815|for a reason]]" doesn't make it clear to the other user why they were reverted. If the addition was incorrect, say that; if there's some stylistic reason, say what it is. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:05, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

I didn’t think I’d have to repeat myself--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 14:58, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
::It's better the provide the explanation each time you revert an edit, or at the very least leave a message on the talk page of the user you reverted. It's not necessarily obvious that they would need to look to another page's history to understand why the edit was reverted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:31, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

== What? ==

How am I blocked '''again'' when I went to the edit warring user’s talkpage and they ignored my warning about their edits? How is it that only when I’m involved reverted edits that I’m ''always blocked'''? What did I do wrong this time?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 17:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

[[File:PB04 EN Second Edition.png|thumb|right|The front cover of the "Pikachu's Day" book.]]

'''Pokémon Tales''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンえほん''' ''Pokémon Picture Book'') are a series of children's picture books published by [[VIZ Media]] in North America and [[Shogakukan]] in Japan. A small number of artists collectively provided illustrations across the series, many of which have since become established within the Pokémon franchise. Each book contains a story focusing on one Pokémon, such as a {{p|Squirtle}} afraid to come out of his shell or a hungry {{p|Snorlax}}. While the initial series comprises 48 books, only 23 were translated into English.

==Pokémon Daisuki Tales==
The Pokémon Daisuki Tales (Japanese: '''ポケモンだいすきえほん''' ''Pokémon Enjoy Picture Books'') are interactive audio picture books in Flash. They are viewable [http://www.pokemon.jp/#/contents/enjoy/picture_book/ online] (Japanese) on the [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] website. All of the stories are on the site, but some are not accessible through normal navigation of the Daisuki Club website. New titles are added periodically.

On September 4, 2007, Media Factory printed and distributed the stories ''[[PBD03|The Mysterious Yacht]]'', ''[[PBD04|The Mysterious Crayon]]'', ''[[PBD06|The Mysterious Big Clock]]'', and ''[[PBD07|The Mysterious Maze]]''. The books were miniature-sized and hardcovered, and came with a ball chain.<ref>[http://poketb.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=1969 Chinese forum post of announcement]</ref> They did not actually have ISBNs, though, so they were classified closer to toys than books.<ref>[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9D%E3%82%B1%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%81%88%E3%81%BB%E3%82%93 ja.wikipedia - ポケモンえほん]</ref> Pokémon Daisuki Club also distributed printed books of ''[[PBD08|The Mysterious Drum]]'' and ''[[PBD10|The Mysterious Stockings]]'' to 200 people in a February 2009 giveaway. They also came with stickers of characters from the books.<ref>http://pokemon.g.hatena.ne.jp/okome_chan/20090317</ref>

Ho-Oh (anime)

'''Ho-Oh''' (Japanese: '''ホウオウ''' ''Houou'') is a [[Legendary Pokémon]] that {{Ash}} has sighted at a few significant moments in his {{pkmn|journey}}.

Legends say that Ho-Oh lived in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] in ancient times. However, war broke out, and when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] was burned, Ho-Oh created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} and then left. A new Tin Tower was created, but Ho-Oh never returned.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
======Kanto======
[[File:Ho-Oh Debut.png|220px|thumb|left|Ho-Oh completely colored and outlined in gold in its debut]]
Ho-Oh debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where {{Ash}} first saw it in a forest on his way to [[Viridian City]] during his first day as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He was lying on the ground with his injured {{AP|Pikachu}} and saw it fly over the rainbow that appeared in the sky after a storm. His [[Pokédex]] could not identify it and explained that many Pokémon were still unknown.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash tried to explain to {{an|Professor Oak}} what he had seen, though the image he used to point it out appeared to be of an {{p|Articuno}} rather than {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Either way, {{an|Professor Oak}} did not believe him and brushed it off as Ash being mistaken. This gold-colored version of Ho-Oh was an early concept of Ho-Oh as a Pokémon, as it, like all other [[Generation II]] Pokémon at that time, had not been fully developed yet.

======Johto======
The topic was brought up again in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''. While Ash was in [[Johto]], he explained his encounter of Ho-Oh to [[Eusine]], who also did not believe that Ash had seen this Legendary Pokémon. In ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', they heard the bells in the Tin Tower ringing, which would signal Ho-Oh's approach. In ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'', it was seen using {{m|Sacred Fire}} in a flashback.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Ash saw Ho-Oh again after he parted ways with {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', {{an|May}} first saw Ho-Oh flying across the sky and pointed it out to the rest of the group. This was after Ash lost an informal challenge against [[Pyramid King Brandon]] and was released from possession by the [[King of Pokélantis]]' spirit.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
Ho-Oh appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''. After making amends with {{an|Dawn}}, Ash recalled seeing it on the day his {{pkmn|journey}} began.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
In ''[[JN009|Finding a Legend!]]'', Ho-Oh flew over [[Ecruteak City]], though this time, it was only seen by [[Jaye]].

====Personality and characteristics====
Ho-Oh's personality is unknown as all of its appearances involve it flying around but it appeared to have chosen Ash as one of the people for its visits as evidenced in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''.

Ho-Oh's appearance is that it is a very large Pokémon, and there is one shot in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'' in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] that shows three humans on their knees while Ho-Oh is perched up on a stand. Ho-Oh appears to be significantly larger than the humans.

===In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''===
Ho-Oh reappeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is based in a continuity different from the main series.

Like in the main series, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} and {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}} witnessed Ho-Oh flying in the sky shortly after setting off on their [[Pokémon journey|journey]]. Unlike the main series, however, it dropped a [[Rainbow Wing]] as it passed by, with Ash picking it up. Keeping the wing with him, Ash set out to eventually meet and battle Ho-Oh. He eventually did, and it had a battle with Pikachu, the outcome of which was unknown.

[[File:Ho-Oh ICYR.png|thumb|left|200px|Ho-Oh in ''[[Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! Remix]]'']]
===In the movie adaptations===
====In the I Choose You! manga====
In {{ma|I Choose You!}}, Ho-Oh was seen flying over Ash and Pikachu after they dealt with a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and their {{AP|leader|Fearow}}. It dropped a Rainbow Wing in the process. Ho-Oh was then referenced to throughout Ash's journey to [[Mount Tensei]] where Ho-Oh will reside.

After Ash managed to place the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock, Ho-Oh appeared and Ash, {{ashfr}}, [[Cross]], [[Bonji]], and the Pokémon in the area got to see Ho-Oh. Ash and Pikachu then {{pkmn|battle}} Ho-Oh, but the battle was not shown.

====In the Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! Remix manga====
Ho-Oh appeared in a flashback towards the end of [[ICYR1]], where it flew over Ash and Pikachu, dropping a [[Rainbow Wing]] in the process.

Ho-Oh reappeared in [[ICYR3]], where it was responsible for the creation of {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.

The '''Magikarp salesman''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売り''' ''Koiking salesman'') is a character who sells various Pokémon, usually Magikarp, at outrageous prices.

==In the games==
[[File:Magikarp Salesman RBY.png|thumb|left|200px|The Magikarp salesman in {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}]]
[[File:Magikarp salesman FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The Magikarp salesman in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as the [[remake]]s {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Magikarp salesman appears in {{rt|4|Kanto}}'s [[Pokémon Center]] and sells the {{player}} a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500.

Though he does not make an appearance, the Magikarp salesman is briefly alluded to in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In the [[Poké Mart]] in [[Pewter City]], a boy will offer to show his {{p|Gyarados}} to anyone who speaks to him. Speaking to a girl nearby causes her to remark how the boy had purchased a Magikarp from a "weird old man" three years prior, and trained it until it evolved into a Gyarados.

In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, the Magikarp salesman appears again on [[Marvelous Bridge]] to sell a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500. However, unlike in Kanto, Magikarp are not native to [[Unova]] and can only be found in the [[Nature Preserve]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. It always has a [[Stats|speed]] [[IV]] of 31 in these games.

====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
The Magikarp salesman is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He usually appears as a traveling con man who is always getting people, usually [[James]], to buy one of his worthless {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

He debuted in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', where he was selling {{p|Magikarp}} to anyone on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce at a rapid rate and make the buyer rich. James was foolish enough to buy one, which later [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|James|Gyarados}}.

In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', he was partially responsible for [[Jessie]] obtaining her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. The Magikarp salesman was again trying to sell Magikarp to James, but he recognized him from the St. Anne and chased after him. During the pursuit, the Magikarp salesman bumped into [[Jessie]], which sent her flying over to a nearby trading machine. When she bumped into it, the {{i|Poké Ball}} containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell into the machine, trading it for {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}'s Wobbuffet, which he had been trying to [[trade]] off throughout the episode.

Some time after, he reappeared with the same selling strategy in ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''. Later, in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', he traded his {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Victreebel|Weepinbell}} for [[James's Victreebel]].

=====[[Pokémon Chronicles]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
The Magikarp salesman tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}} in ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

In the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], the Magikarp salesman had changed his operation; now, he was attempting to sell Pokémon disguised as rare Pokémon. In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', he sold a Magikarp disguised as {{p|Feebas}} to {{TRT}} for a stolen {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Spoink}}'s pearl. After placing her new Pokémon into some water, Jessie realized she had been conned as the paint washed away, revealing Feebas to be a Magikarp. Ash and {{ashfr}} were able to reunite Spoink with its pearl, but the Magikarp salesman was able to escape.

In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', he was selling a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Hoppip}} disguised as a {{p|Chimecho}} at [[Fortree City]]'s [[Feather Carnival]]. James came across him while searching for a Chimecho and attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. However, its real identity was revealed and a gust of wind blew it away.

He made a cameo appearance when Ash caught {{AP|Aipom}} in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]''.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
In ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'', he sold a dual evolution machine/mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in its failure to [[Evolution|evolve]] Pokémon and sustain its mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked. However, considering the fact that he ran off after telling them this information, it may have been another lie to keep them from following him.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', he had his own table at the [[Kanto Fair]]. There, he was once again trying to sell Magikarp to people.

====Character====
The Magikarp salesman is a con man; as such, he isn't afraid to lie to or mislead his customers in order to sell his goods. He prefers to travel the world to remain undetected by the authorities and any disgruntled clientele like [[James]].

==Trivia==
* The Magikarp salesman was given a Hispanic accent in all of the dubbed episodes except for ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', where he speaks without an accent. This may have been an oversight of both the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]] production teams, since after TPCi took over the dub, his Hispanic accent returned only in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution!]]''.
* In most of the Magikarp salesman's appearances, the Team Rocket Trio ends up losing and gaining a Pokémon:
** In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', James gains a Magikarp and loses it soon after.
** In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Jessie loses her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and gains a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
** In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]'', James loses his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} but gains a {{p|Weepinbell}} that evolves into another {{p|Victreebel}} (and loses that one soon after).
** In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', Jessie gains and loses a {{p|Magikarp}} after thinking it was a {{p|Feebas}}.
** In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', James gains a {{p|Hoppip}} and loses it soon after (he also gains a {{TP|James|Chimecho}} in the same episode).
* [[Trade]]s often occur in episodes that the Magikarp salesman appears in.
* Every episode he appeared in as a major appearance was written by Yukiyoshi Ohashi. The two episodes in which he made a cameo appearance were written by Atsuhiro Tomioka.
* The Magikarp's salesman's appearance is similar to that of the main character from the series ''{{wp|Tensai Bakabon}}'', Bakabon's Papa.

The '''Magikarp salesman''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売り''' ''Koiking salesman'') is a character who sells various Pokémon, usually Magikarp, at outrageous prices.

==In the games==

[[File:Magikarp salesman FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The Magikarp salesman in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as the [[remake]]s {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Magikarp salesman appears in {{rt|4|Kanto}}'s [[Pokémon Center]] and sells the {{player}} a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500.

Though he does not make an appearance, the Magikarp salesman is briefly alluded to in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In the [[Poké Mart]] in [[Pewter City]], a boy will offer to show his {{p|Gyarados}} to anyone who speaks to him. Speaking to a girl nearby causes her to remark how the boy had purchased a Magikarp from a "weird old man" three years prior, and trained it until it evolved into a Gyarados.

In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, the Magikarp salesman appears again on [[Marvelous Bridge]] to sell a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500. However, unlike in Kanto, Magikarp are not native to [[Unova]] and can only be found in the [[Nature Preserve]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. It always has a [[Stats|speed]] [[IV]] of 31 in these games.

In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', the Magikarp salesman was selling what appeared to be {{p|Chimecho}}, a Pokémon [[James]] had wanted since his youth. James purchased [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Hoppip|one of these]], unaware that the salesman was in fact selling {{p|Hoppip}}, all of them disguised as Chimecho. The disguise on James's Hoppip fell apart.}}

==Trivia==
* The Magikarp salesman was given a Hispanic accent in all of the dubbed episodes except for ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', where he speaks without an accent. This may have been an oversight of both the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]] production teams, since after TPCi took over the dub, his Hispanic accent returned only in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution!]]''.
* In most of the Magikarp salesman's appearances, the Team Rocket Trio ends up losing and gaining a Pokémon:
** In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', James gains a Magikarp and loses it soon after.
** In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Jessie loses her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and gains a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
** In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]'', James loses his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} but gains a {{p|Weepinbell}} that evolves into another {{p|Victreebel}} (and loses that one soon after).
** In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', Jessie gains and loses a {{p|Magikarp}} after thinking it was a {{p|Feebas}}.
** In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', James gains a {{p|Hoppip}} and loses it soon after (he also gains a {{TP|James|Chimecho}} in the same episode).
* [[Trade]]s often occur in episodes that the Magikarp salesman appears in.
* Every episode he appeared in as a major appearance was written by Yukiyoshi Ohashi. The two episodes in which he made a cameo appearance were written by Atsuhiro Tomioka.
* The Magikarp's salesman's appearance is similar to that of the main character from the series ''{{wp|Tensai Bakabon}}'', Bakabon's Papa.

'''Pokémon - I Choose You!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン！きみにきめた！''' ''Pokémon! I Choose You!'') is the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the US, however, the first episode shown was ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997 and in the United States on September 8, 1998.

A remastered version of the episode was shown on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' on April 1, 2012 to celebrate the anime's fifteenth anniversary. Only the episode itself was remastered; the opening and ending sequences, as well as the [[eyecatch]], were not shown at all.

A second remastered version was first screened during ''Team Rocket's Emergency Meeting'' event held in Tokyo, on July 13, 2017. It was then aired on television on July 23, 2017 as the first episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]'', to celebrate the anime's twentieth anniversary. This version includes a remastered opening, ending and eyecatch sequences.

==Blurb==

Meet Ash Ketchum, a 10-year-old boy full of imagination, confidence, and dreams that are almost too big for his village of Pallet Town—plus the desire to become a Pokémon Master!

Ash is finally old enough to receive his first Pokémon from Professor Oak, the town's Pokémon expert-but on the morning Ash is supposed to claim it, he oversleeps! By the time he arrives at Professor Oak's, the three Pokémon he wanted have already been chosen by the other Trainers-in-training, including his rival, Gary! The only Pokémon remaining is a strong-willed Pikachu.

Trainer and Pokémon don't get along right away. Not only does Pikachu refuse to enter its Poké Ball, it would rather climb a tree than battle a Pidgey that Ash encounters! Disagreements aside, they start to bond when they find themselves chased by an angry flock of Spearow. The Spearow wound Pikachu, but Ash risks his own safety to protect his Pokémon.

To further their escape, Ash "borrows" a bike owned by a young girl named Misty. He soon wrecks the bike; however, he and Pikachu are surrounded by the Spearow. When Ash fearlessly confronts the Spearow, Pikachu is inspired to summon its remaining energy to repel the Pokémon with a powerful electric shock.

Finally out of harm's way, the wild experience makes Ash and Pikachu realize that they've begun what promises to be a blooming friendship.

==Plot==
In a massive stadium, two creatures known as {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are having a {{pkmn|battle}}, directed by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to give it their all. One of the Pokémon, a {{p|Gengar}}, dodges a {{m|Horn Attack}} from its opponent, a {{p|Nidorino}}, and uses its {{m|Hypnosis}} [[move|attack]] on it, causing it to fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}. Nidorino's Trainer [[recall]]s it and sends out another Pokémon known as {{p|Onix}} to battle. The massive [[Pokémon category|Rock Snake Pokémon]] emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] and prepares to take on Gengar, at which point it is revealed that the battle is being displayed on [[television]]. Its viewer is a boy named [[Ash Ketchum]] who lives in a small settlement called [[Pallet Town]] and is ten years old, which allows him to pick a [[starter Pokémon]] and become a Pokémon Trainer. Ash declares to himself and the Pokémon of the world that he will become a [[Pokémon Master]]. His speech, however, is interrupted by [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]] who tells him to get to bed as he has a big day tomorrow. Ash protests that he's too excited to sleep, so his mom tells him that if he won't sleep then to at least get ready for the next day as she switches on a program hosted by the town's Pokémon expert, {{an|Professor Oak}}. Ash watches as Oak explains that new Trainers get to pick one of three Pokémon to start their journey; the {{type|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the {{type|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, or the {{type|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}}.

As Ash sleeps, he goes over the choices in his head reasoning that any of the three available Pokémon are good for starting Trainers. However, his {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock rolls into his hand as he sleeps and, dreaming that he's throwing a Poké Ball, he chucks it at the wall, smashing it. When Ash finally wakes up, he sees the sun high in the sky and realizes that he overslept. Ash runs to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in such a hurry that he doesn't change out of his pajamas, and at this point doesn't care which starter he gets as long as he gets any. He arrives at the lab just in time to see one of his new fellow Trainers (and Professor Oak's grandson), {{Gary}}, leaving. Unfortunately for Ash, Gary is very overconfident and brags that he was on time and already has [[Gary's Squirtle|his first Pokémon]], although he refuses to reveal which one he received. Gary's large crowd, which includes [[Gary's cheerleaders|a group of cheerleaders]], cheers for him, and Gary promises that he'll become a Pokémon Master and put Pallet Town on the map before leaving. As the crowd follows, Ash is left by himself, but not for long as Professor Oak approaches. Ash apologizes for being late and hardly being dressed for the occasion, but tells Professor Oak that he's ready to pick his first Pokémon.

Taken into the lab, Ash sees three {{i|Poké Ball}}s sitting on a pedestal and states that after thinking about it he's decided to choose Squirtle as his starter, however the Poké Ball is empty. Oak explains that Squirtle has already been claimed by a Trainer that was on time. Ash doesn't mind as he decides to instead go with Bulbasaur, whom has also been taken already. Ash is still happy to go with Charmander but, alas, that Pokémon is gone too with someone who wasn't late. Ash asks if this means that there are no Pokémon left for him, and Oak tells him this isn't exactly true as he does have another Pokémon but it is very unusual. At this point, Ash is willing to settle for anything and tells Oak that he'll take whatever it is. A fourth Poké Ball emerges onto the pedestal and Ash picks it up, upon which point it opens and from it emerges a small yellow mouse-like Pokémon. Oak explains that the Pokémon is named {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Ash is very impressed by its cuteness, deciding that Pikachu is better than any of the other starters. He picks up Pikachu and hugs it, but Pikachu doesn't like being hugged and gives Ash a massive electric shock as Oak explains that Pikachu is an {{t|Electric}} type, and has a shocking personality to match. Oak gives Ash some Poké Balls and a [[Pokédex]], at which point Pikachu shocks them both.

Heading outside, Ash finds his mom and a small group of supporters outside ready to wish him luck as he heads out on his Pokémon journey. Ash's mom gets weepy at the thought of her son finally leaving to start his life as a Trainer, before then starting to list the numerous supplies that she has packed for him before he goes. She then notices Pikachu and asks why he isn't inside his Poké Ball like other Pokémon. Ash realizes that she's right and tells Pikachu to go inside, but Pikachu refuses, repeatedly swatting the ball away. Ash's mom simply assumes that the two are playing catch, but admits that she finds Pikachu "weird". Pikachu doesn't take kindly to this comment and shocks everyone in the area, except Professor Oak, who remarks that the rubber gloves that were packed will come in handy since rubber doesn't conduct electricity.

Ash and Pikachu begin their long journey, walking {{rt|1|Kanto|beyond the outskirts of Pallet Town}}. Or rather, Ash, wearing the rubber gloves, is walking while Pikachu, who is tied to a clothesline like a leash, has to be dragged along behind him. Ash tries talking to Pikachu, but all he learns is that the Pokémon can only say its name and doesn't like him at all. Trying to persuade Pikachu to go inside his Poké Ball, Ash consults his Pokédex but it confirms that while many Pokémon travel in Poké Balls some don't like being confined. Deciding to make life easier for Pikachu, Ash removes the leash and rubber gloves but Pikachu still isn't impressed. Just then the two hear footsteps behind them and find that they are close to a {{p|Pidgey}}. Ash looks up Pidgey in the Pokédex and finds that the small bird is a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon which is gentle, easy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}, and a good choice for a beginning Trainer. Ash is happy at the chance to test Pikachu's skills and tries to send him to battle, but Pikachu refuses and instead decides to climb a tree and watch. Ash, angry at Pikachu's continuing disobedience, decides to do it himself and throws a Poké Ball at Pidgey. The ball connects and Pidgey is drawn inside, leading Ash to think that he's captured it. However, the Poké Ball shakes for a few seconds before Pidgey escapes, and the Pokédex explains that when catching a Pokémon you normally have your own Pokémon battle to weaken the target first. Pikachu finds Ash's ineptitude hilarious while Ash gets more worked up, determined to show Pikachu what he can do. He decides to try sneaking up on Pidgey with his pajama shirt, but when he covers it the Pokémon unleashes its {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Sand Attack}} in response. Ash is sent crashing to the ground and Pidgey flies away. As Ash bemoans his bad luck, he then notices another Pokémon rifling through his bag. He chases it away as the Pokédex identifies it as {{p|Rattata}}, a {{t|Normal}} type that lives in the forest. When Ash states that they're not in a forest, the Pokédex goes on to explain that occasionally Rattata will emerge to steal food from ''stupid'' travelers.

As Pikachu laughs further, Ash notices some more Pidgey nearby and throws a stone at them in frustration. Just then he spots what he thinks is a lone Pidgey nearby and is determined to finally catch one. He throws another stone and it makes a direct hit, but it turns out not to be a Pidgey, but instead a much angrier-looking bird Pokémon. Ash scans it with his Pokédex and it identifies the bird as {{p|Spearow}} which, unlike Pidgey, has a bad attitude and a violent temperament, being known for attacking people and Pokémon without warning. Ash then sees Spearow flying directly at him, but Spearow spots Pikachu in a tree as it passes and decides to attack him instead. The Pokédex explains that wild Pokémon are sometimes jealous of those with Trainers. As Ash tries to get Spearow to focus on him again instead, Spearow nearly knocks Pikachu out of the tree, at which point the Electric Mouse unleashes electricity at his attacker which sends Spearow falling to the ground.

Spearow is down, but not out, and it lets out a loud cry. In the distance, Ash and Pikachu spot a large flock of Spearow emerging from a tree and heading straight towards them. The two decide to make a run for it, and quickly try to get away as the furious flock give chase. Ash promises to protect Pikachu, but Pikachu runs on ahead of Ash, making himself an easy target for Spearow who don't hesitate to attack him en masse. By the time Ash catches up, Pikachu is very weak and can no longer run, so Ash picks him up and carries him away. The two come to a fast flowing river and Ash, needing to get away from the angry Spearow quickly, jumps in and allows himself and Pikachu to be swept away, during which he very nearly becomes lunch for a {{p|Gyarados}}.

Further down the river, where there's no current, {{an|Misty|a young girl}} is leisurely [[fishing]] when the lure starts to react. The girl quickly grabs her rod to reel in what she thinks will be a big one, but instead yanks out Ash and Pikachu. She is disappointed, but then notices Pikachu and angrily tells Ash that he should never let his Pokémon get into such a bad condition. She tells him that Pikachu needs to get treatment right away, explaining that there is a [[Pokémon Center]] (a medical center that specializes in healing Pokémon) nearby. As she points out the direction that Ash needs to go, he notices the flock of Spearow has caught up to them. Ash decides to make a getaway on the girl's [[Bicycle|bike]], putting Pikachu in the basket, despite her protests, promising that he'll eventually give it back, much to her anger.

As Ash rides for dear life, a thunderstorm starts. With rain falling and the Spearow flock still on his tail, Ash rides as fast as he can. However, the Spearow catch up and start to attack him, and this coupled with the dangerous conditions eventually cause Ash to fly off a small bank, crashing to the ground. Lying in the mud, Ash spots Pikachu nearby weaker than ever. Upset that his first day as a Pokémon Trainer has turned into such a disaster, Ash tells Pikachu to get inside his Poké Ball as it seems to be the only way that he can be safe from the approaching Spearow. Deciding that he's done running, Ash stands before the Spearow and announces that he refuses to be beaten by the likes of them if he's going to be a Pokémon Master, vowing to defeat them all. Pikachu sees that Ash is willing to sacrifice himself to save him and, just before the Spearow flock can hit, jumps onto his shoulder and then into the air. Pikachu is struck by lightning, causing him to let out a massive {{m|Thunder Shock}} which throws Ash back onto the ground.

Soon, the rain has cleared and the sun is shining. Ash and Pikachu are lying unconscious near the smouldering remains of the bike they stole. The two wake up and find the Spearow flock has gone. They weakly note that despite everything, they managed to defeat their attackers together and finally a friendship is formed. Just then, {{an|Ho-Oh|a shimmering golden Pokémon}} flies overhead towards a rainbow. Ash wonders what it was, and the Pokédex can't identify it, but explains that there are many Pokémon species yet to be discovered. After watching the Pokémon disappear into the distance, Ash picks up Pikachu and keeps on walking as the narrator explains that Ash and Pikachu have many more adventures together to come. Reaching a bank, Ash spots [[Viridian City]] in the distance and heads toward it, having taken the first of many steps on his Pokémon journey.

* This episode was chosen by [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] as the first episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]'', a series of reruns to commemorate the release of [[M20]] in 2017.
* The beginning of the episode features sound effects from the original [[Game Boy]] games, drawing from the opening animation from {{game|Red and Green|s}} (with a {{p|Gengar}} battling a {{p|Nidorino}}) before transitioning seamlessly into the {{pkmn|battle}} that {{Ash}} himself is watching on [[Television|TV]].
** A similar sequence and transition occurs in the beginning of the [[PO01|first episode]] of the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries, in which {{OBP|Red|Origins}} watches a televised battle between Gengar and Nidorino.
** When it shows the stadium, it appears as a card.
* An early, unused frame of the stadium battle scene exists.
* The shadowed {{pkmn|Trainer}} who sends out Nidorino and {{p|Onix}} to battle greatly resembles [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo League]] [[Elite Four]].
* {{Ash}}'s introductory shot is repeated in [[BW001|the first episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' as a throwback to this episode.
* Ash has a {{p|Voltorb}} clock with a cuckoo {{p|Pidgey}} in it. Furthermore, he ends up breaking it in his sleep, unknowingly using it as a [[Poké Ball]] shortly after 4 AM.
* The order in which Ash opens the [[starter Pokémon]]'s Poké Balls, only to find them empty, indicates his preferred choices: {{p|Squirtle}} first, {{p|Bulbasaur}} second, and {{p|Charmander}} last.
** Coincidentally, this is the same order the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} from Super Smash Bros. Brawl obtains their respective evolved forms in the Subspace Emissary.
* Despite this episode centering around receiving a starter Pokémon, neither Bulbasaur, Charmander, nor Squirtle actually appeared in the flesh until ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', and ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', respectively. This is unlike the following generations, when at least one of the starter Pokémon appeared in the first episode of each generation.
* This is the only episode where [[Ash's Pikachu]] is seen inside his {{i|Poké Ball}}.
* This episode reveals that {{p|Spearow}} see in black and white.
* This is one of the few episodes in which [[Rachael Lillis]] provides the voice of Pikachu in a few scenes of the dub. This happened when another Japanese voice actor spoke over [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s Pikachu voice and the audio could not be used.
* The legendary bird Ash saw at the end of the episode was {{an|Ho-Oh}}. This makes {{p|Ho-Oh}} the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the series, and in the first episode of the entire series.
* Only two pieces of background music were kept in the dub: the opening music of Red and Green in the beginning, and ''Tears, After the Cloudy Weather'' in the scene where Ash is defending Pikachu from the Spearow.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book {{book|I Choose You!}}.
* This episode can be found on volume 3 of [[Game Boy Advance Video]].
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 1: Pikachu'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series and on ''Pokémon All-Stars: Pikachu'' from {{wp|Magna Pacific}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 4}} series.
* Coincidentally, Ash would later attempt to use a Pidgey and {{p|Rattata}} in the following episode against {{TRT}} after failing to capture both Pokémon in this episode.
* This is the only episode of the original series in which the [[Team Rocket trio]] does not appear. The next time would not occur in the regular episodes until ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', 672 episodes later. They also did not appear in a clip show episode, [[AG120]], which was never aired outside of Japan.
* This episode has the most [[List of Pokémon by anime debut|Pokémon debuts]] in the entire {{pkmn|anime}}, with 16.
* Parts of this episode are remade in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]''.

===Errors===
* As {{Delia}} catches the alarm clock Ash threw, her ponytail curls to her left shoulder. When it is seen from behind in the next shot, it is curled to her right shoulder.
* When {{an|Professor Oak}} appears on television to discuss the starter Pokémon, the background colors behind Charmander and Squirtle are reversed (blue behind Charmander and red behind Squirtle). Bulbasaur's background color, green, is correctly shown.
** In this same scene, the starters look significantly different between the shot of the whole television and the close-up of the screen. Charmander, for instance, has a much larger tail flame and more open mouth in the close-up.
* When Ash throws the Poké Balls containing Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in his dream, both sides of the Poké Balls are red. This was fixed in the scenes of the Poké Balls releasing the Pokémon.
* When Ash passes Gary's cheerleaders and a crowd, a man has no eyes.
* As Ash runs to Professor Oak to collect his first Pokémon, the top button on his pajamas changes from green to yellow.
* {{Gary}} addresses Ash as if he has never met him before, despite the fact that they were childhood friends.
* After Gary tells Ash that {{TP|Gary|his Pokémon|Blastoise}} is inside its Poké Ball, the order of [[Gary's cheerleaders]] reversed.
* If all three starters had already been taken, then the Poké Balls containing them should be with their Trainers, as Gary's is, and not with Professor Oak.
** Also, the Japanese writing on the Poké Balls disappear after Ash picks them up.
* After Ash opens Charmander's Poké Ball in Oak's lab, part of Oak's coat unnaturally changes position as he speaks.
* When Professor Oak hands Ash Pikachu's Poké Ball, the bottom portion of the black ring surrounding the white center of the Poké Ball turns white.
* As Pikachu's Poké Ball opens with a strobe-like flash of light, the background behind Ash differs greatly between the two frames. The buttons and features of the large machine change position and size. Also, the table and beaker in front of it change position and shape, respectively.
* The sneakers that Delia hands Ash are the same ones he is already wearing.
* When Ash tries to make Pikachu go to his Poké Ball, the lightning bolt on it disappears.
** The same thing occurred again when Ash tries to protect Pikachu from the Spearow.
* When Ash opens his [[Pokédex]] for the first time, the directional buttons are not present.
* In the Japanese version, the Pokédex misidentifies Pidgey as the ''Sky Pokémon'' instead of the ''Tiny Bird Pokémon''.
* When Pikachu is up in the tree, and in the last shot before the title card, Ash's coat loses its yellow stripes, but they return later on.
* In the slap scene cut from the English version, the hole on Ash's hat matches his skin color despite being above his hairline.
* When Ash sees the Spearow flock again after {{an|Misty}} tells him where the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] is, his shoes are not colored, making it look like he only has white socks on. Then, when he puts Pikachu on Misty's [[Bicycle|bike]], his shoes are colored normally.
* When Ash places Pikachu's Poké Ball on the ground, his thumb passes right through it when he stands up to face the flock of Spearow.
* When Ash stands up to the Spearow to protect Pikachu, he incorrectly refers to them "Spearows." The plural of a specific species of Pokémon is the same as the singular.
* As Ash watches Ho-Oh at the end of the episode, [[Ash's hat|his hat]] points backward as it had since he jumped into the river. As he walks uphill in the next scene, it points forward. When he gets to the top and looks at Viridian City, it points backward again. Lastly, as we see him from behind as he walks toward Viridian, his hat points forward again.
* Throughout this episode and [[EP002|the next]], Professor Oak's hair changes.
* When Ash says "Pokémon Master" for the second time and when the camera zooms out, his mouth is not synchronized.
* The Poké Ball pattern on Ash's blanket on his bed has every button on each Poké Ball colored black instead of white.
* During the scene in which Ash is dreaming about the Kanto starter Pokémon, the black lines on the Poké Balls on Ash's blanket are colored white similar to the buttons on the same Poké Balls on his blanket.
* When [[Gary's cheerleaders]] cheer for [[Gary]], the cheerleaders' mouths are not synchronized.
* In the scene where the crowd is seen going towards Gary's car, the sign near the path that goes to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] is written in Japanese.
* When Gary's cheerleaders cheer for Gary, there are three cheerleaders. When the crowd is seen going towards Gary's car, there are five cheerleaders.
* When Ash asks for his Pokémon, Professor Oak can understand him even though his teeth did not move.
* When Professor Oak comments about Ash wearing pajamas, his mouth does not move.

===Changes===
====Dub edits====
[[File:Misty Slap.png|thumb|200px|The cut shot]]
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 1 (Poliwrath error)
* Onix's {{m|Tackle}} was not referred to by its name in the [[dub]], whereas in the Japanese version, the announcer clearly identifies the attack.
* During the shot of the whole television and Ash moving his head into view, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle have their Japanese names written below their pictures. The names are gone during and after the close-up, however.
* When the people outside of Professor Oak's lab cheer for Ash, the flag says "{{tt|ガンバレサトシ！|Go for it, Satoshi!}}" on the Japanese version. The dub edits this to "GO ASH GO!".
* The Poké Balls in Professor Oak's lab are labeled in Japanese when they first appear, but are painted over when Ash picks up one up. These labels are also partially visible when Pikachu's Poké Ball is revealed.
* In the Japanese version, after being shocked by Pikachu, {{Delia}} tells Ash to change into his pajamas before going to sleep, even if it's the dirty pajamas he was wearing at the moment. The dub changed this to her telling Ash to remember to change his underwear every single day.
* The Japanese version of the scene with Ash talking with Pikachu on {{rt|1|Kanto}} contains an untranslatable pun. When Ash asks Pikachu to talk ({{tt|話|hanashi}}) to him, Pikachu misunderstands this as him saying it has "no teeth" ({{tt|歯なし|ha nashi}}), thus opening its mouth to show Ash that it indeed does have teeth. In the dub, Ash asks Pikachu to open its mouth and tell him what's wrong, to which Pikachu responds to by literally opening its mouth wide open.
* In the Japanese version, after Ash thanks Misty, she slaps him. This was cut from the dub (the screen freezes just as Ash answers Misty) due to physical violence. In the next scene, Ash can clearly be seen rubbing his aching face and Misty has her hand in the air.
* In the Japanese version, Misty tells Ash there is a hospital in [[Viridian City]]; in the dub, she just says that it is nearby.
* The English-dubbed version of this episode was released in Japan as part of the ''{{DL|Pokémon de English|Pokémon de English! Aisatsu Hen}}'' VHS/DVD. This version has a few changes made:
** Some paint edits are undone, such as the Japanese labels on the Poké Balls in Professor Oak's Laboratory.
** The Who's That Pokémon? segment from [[EP160]] is used instead of the original.
** The shot of Misty slapping Ash is included, though the slap doesn't produce any sound.
** The Pokérap and end credits are not included.

====Differences between the episode and the [[Pocket Monsters Film Comic|comic adaptation]]====
* The opening League Battle was shortened, cutting out the reference to the Game Boy opening scene.
* Ash's attempt at catching Rattata was cut.
* Ash's escape through the river was shortened, only showing the first swimming distance. {{p|Gyarados}} and Ash's attempt to swim away from it were cut.
* In the ending of the episode, after Pikachu licks Ash, Ash was silent, though his gratefulness for finally earning Pikachu's respect is still implied. In the comic, it has Ash either saying or thinking, "Hey, Pikachu really does like me!"

====Differences between the episode and Pokémon the Animation Volume 1====
* After Misty scolds Ash for endangering Pikachu, she directly comforts and cradles the injured Pikachu instead of simply expressing concern for his well-being.

'''Gary's Umbreon''' (Japanese: '''シゲルのブラッキー''' ''Shigeru's Blacky'') was a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by {{Gary}} during his {{pkmn|journey}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]].

==History==
===[[Original series]]===
====Kanto====
[[File:Gary Eevee.png|thumb|left|225px|As an Eevee]]
Umbreon first appeared as an {{p|Eevee}} in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', where it was used in a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}}. {{an|Brock}} commented that, by the looks of its shiny coat and bright eyes, that Gary trained it very well. In battle it backed up this observation with a {{m|Reflect}} the likes of which {{Tracey}} had never seen before. The Reflect absorbed Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}} and although Eevee was sent flying, it landed on its feet having sustained little to no damage. Eevee dodged Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack with {{m|Double Team}}, although its own {{m|Take Down}} was blocked by Pikachu using {{m|Agility}}. It finished the battle by hitting Pikachu with {{m|Skull Bash}} just as Pikachu attempted {{m|Thunder}}. Pikachu's attack shocked itself and, combined with the damage from Skull Bash, knocked it out of the battle having not landed any damage on Eevee.

====Johto====
[[File:Alex Alakazam DynamicPunch.png|thumb|200px|Umbreon dodging Alakazam's Dynamic Punch]]
Gary took Eevee with him when he left for the [[Johto]] region. It [[evolution|evolved]] sometime prior to ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]'', where it was shown to be battling [[Alex Davis]]'s {{p|Alakazam}}. Gary noted that Alex Davis was the first new opponent it had had in a while. It proved itself to be a very agile battler, dodging {{m|Zap Cannon}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, and {{m|Dynamic Punch}}. When Alakazam used Double Team Umbreon sensed the real Alakazam and slammed it onto the ground. Alakazam used {{m|Teleport}} to avoid Umbreon's Quick Attack, but Gary and Umbreon detected the charging {{m|Hyper Beam}} and dodged it, then knocked Alakazam out with {{m|Hidden Power}}, winning the battle without having taken a single blow. Ash enthusiastically challenged Gary, but Gary declined as Umbreon had defeated Pikachu before, along with that his remaining team did not impress him. Later, Gary and Umbreon helped Ash foil one of {{TRT}}'s plans as Umbreon severed a cable to their mecha with {{m|Tackle}}. It later illuminated a room with {{m|Flash}} so that Ash could find the lever to the dam mechanism. It then added its own strength to the effort to turn the lever, which ultimately succeeded.

It was not used in Gary's battle with Ash at the [[Silver Conference]], although it did appear on his profile. Gary left Umbreon at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab when he left on adventures with just his {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.

===[[Pokémon Chronicles]]===
In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', it was shown that he had recalled Umbreon to his team. It was seen with its {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they were trying to convince {{p|Aerodactyl}} that they were its friends.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
[[File:Gary and Umbreon.png|thumb|250px|Umbreon and Gary]]
In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', Umbreon repelled a {{p|Golbat}} from one of [[J's henchmen]] with {{m|Sand Attack}}. Gary's knowledge of the area combined with Umbreon's agility resulted in the Golbat accidentally disturbing a hive of {{p|Beedrill}}, which distracted the henchmen long enough for Gary, Ash, Brock and {{an|Dawn}} to escape with the {{p|Shieldon}} that [[J]] was hunting. It was called on again to sabotage J's ship, using {{m|Shadow Ball}} to cause explosions and then tackling J's henchmen with {{TP|Gary|Electivire}} to allow Ash to retrieve Shieldon.

In ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'', Gary used Umbreon to battle [[Ash's Gligar]] in a practice match. Gligar fled from Umbreon's Shadow Ball, showing that it was unable to battle because of its phobia. Gary called off the battle and gave Ash a Razor Fang to evolve it.

In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', Umbreon was outside of its {{i|Poké Ball}} when it spotted J's ship, before being called in to battle against [[Saturn's Toxicroak]]. It attempted to use {{m|Psychic}}, but was badly hurt early in combat by {{p|Toxicroak}}'s {{m|X-Scissor}} before it could attack. Gary was helpless to do anything, as Toxicroak was too fast for his Pokémon. J was able to capture the {{an|Lake guardians|Lake trio}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
As an Eevee, it was pointed out by Tracey that it was well trained due to its bright eyes and glossy coat. Like its Trainer, it was shown to be confident and smart. Umbreon was also a very adept battler, not being hit by an attack on screen until its last appearance.

==Trivia==
*Of all Pokémon used by rivals, Umbreon has used the most moves, a total of 11.
*Despite debuting at the end of the [[Orange Archipelago]] saga, Umbreon was not shown to be damaged by an attack until the battle with [[Saturn's Toxicroak]], its final appearance to date.
*Gary's Eevee and it being used to battle {{AP|Pikachu}} during the first battle between Ash and Gary are references to {{ga|Blue}}'s Eevee and the first rival battle between it and the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|player's Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}.

'''Pokémon - I Choose You!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン！きみにきめた！''' ''Pokémon! I Choose You!'') is the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the US, however, the first episode shown was ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997 and in the United States on September 8, 1998.

A remastered version of the episode was shown on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' on April 1, 2012 to celebrate the anime's fifteenth anniversary. Only the episode itself was remastered; the opening and ending sequences, as well as the [[eyecatch]], were not shown at all.

A second remastered version was first screened during ''Team Rocket's Emergency Meeting'' event held in Tokyo, on July 13, 2017. It was then aired on television on July 23, 2017 as the first episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]'', to celebrate the anime's twentieth anniversary. This version includes a remastered opening, ending and eyecatch sequences.

==Blurb==

Meet Ash Ketchum, a 10-year-old boy full of imagination, confidence, and dreams that are almost too big for his village of Pallet Town—plus the desire to become a Pokémon Master!

Ash is finally old enough to receive his first Pokémon from Professor Oak, the town's Pokémon expert-but on the morning Ash is supposed to claim it, he oversleeps! By the time he arrives at Professor Oak's, the three Pokémon he wanted have already been chosen by the other Trainers-in-training, including his rival, Gary! The only Pokémon remaining is a strong-willed Pikachu.

Trainer and Pokémon don't get along right away. Not only does Pikachu refuse to enter its Poké Ball, it would rather climb a tree than battle a Pidgey that Ash encounters! Disagreements aside, they start to bond when they find themselves chased by an angry flock of Spearow. The Spearow wound Pikachu, but Ash risks his own safety to protect his Pokémon.

To further their escape, Ash "borrows" a bike owned by a young girl named Misty. He soon wrecks the bike; however, he and Pikachu are surrounded by the Spearow. When Ash fearlessly confronts the Spearow, Pikachu is inspired to summon its remaining energy to repel the Pokémon with a powerful electric shock.

Finally out of harm's way, the wild experience makes Ash and Pikachu realize that they've begun what promises to be a blooming friendship.

==Plot==
In a massive stadium, two creatures known as {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are having a {{pkmn|battle}}, directed by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to give it their all. One of the Pokémon, a {{p|Gengar}}, dodges a {{m|Horn Attack}} from its opponent, a {{p|Nidorino}}, and uses its {{m|Hypnosis}} [[move|attack]] on it, causing it to fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}. Nidorino's Trainer [[recall]]s it and sends out another Pokémon known as {{p|Onix}} to battle. The massive [[Pokémon category|Rock Snake Pokémon]] emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] and prepares to take on Gengar, at which point it is revealed that the battle is being displayed on [[television]]. Its viewer is a boy named [[Ash Ketchum]] who lives in a small settlement called [[Pallet Town]] and is ten years old, which allows him to pick a [[starter Pokémon]] and become a Pokémon Trainer. Ash declares to himself and the Pokémon of the world that he will become a [[Pokémon Master]]. His speech, however, is interrupted by [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]] who tells him to get to bed as he has a big day tomorrow. Ash protests that he's too excited to sleep, so his mom tells him that if he won't sleep then to at least get ready for the next day as she switches on a program hosted by the town's Pokémon expert, {{an|Professor Oak}}. Ash watches as Oak explains that new Trainers get to pick one of three Pokémon to start their journey; the {{type|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the {{type|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, or the {{type|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}}.

As Ash sleeps, he goes over the choices in his head reasoning that any of the three available Pokémon are good for starting Trainers. However, his {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock rolls into his hand as he sleeps and, dreaming that he's throwing a Poké Ball, he chucks it at the wall, smashing it. When Ash finally wakes up, he sees the sun high in the sky and realizes that he overslept. Ash runs to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in such a hurry that he doesn't change out of his pajamas, and at this point doesn't care which starter he gets as long as he gets any. He arrives at the lab just in time to see one of his new fellow Trainers (and Professor Oak's grandson), {{Gary}}, leaving. Unfortunately for Ash, Gary is very overconfident and brags that he was on time and already has [[Gary's Squirtle|his first Pokémon]], although he refuses to reveal which one he received. Gary's large crowd, which includes [[Gary's cheerleaders|a group of cheerleaders]], cheers for him, and Gary promises that he'll become a Pokémon Master and put Pallet Town on the map before leaving. As the crowd follows, Ash is left by himself, but not for long as Professor Oak approaches. Ash apologizes for being late and hardly being dressed for the occasion, but tells Professor Oak that he's ready to pick his first Pokémon.

Taken into the lab, Ash sees three {{i|Poké Ball}}s sitting on a pedestal and states that after thinking about it he's decided to choose Squirtle as his starter, however the Poké Ball is empty. Oak explains that Squirtle has already been claimed by a Trainer that was on time. Ash doesn't mind as he decides to instead go with Bulbasaur, whom has also been taken already. Ash is still happy to go with Charmander but, alas, that Pokémon is gone too with someone who wasn't late. Ash asks if this means that there are no Pokémon left for him, and Oak tells him this isn't exactly true as he does have another Pokémon but it is very unusual. At this point, Ash is willing to settle for anything and tells Oak that he'll take whatever it is. A fourth Poké Ball emerges onto the pedestal and Ash picks it up, upon which point it opens and from it emerges a small yellow mouse-like Pokémon. Oak explains that the Pokémon is named {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Ash is very impressed by its cuteness, deciding that Pikachu is better than any of the other starters. He picks up Pikachu and hugs it, but Pikachu doesn't like being hugged and gives Ash a massive electric shock as Oak explains that Pikachu is an {{t|Electric}} type, and has a shocking personality to match. Oak gives Ash some Poké Balls and a [[Pokédex]], at which point Pikachu shocks them both.

Heading outside, Ash finds his mom and a small group of supporters outside ready to wish him luck as he heads out on his Pokémon journey. Ash's mom gets weepy at the thought of her son finally leaving to start his life as a Trainer, before then starting to list the numerous supplies that she has packed for him before he goes. She then notices Pikachu and asks why he isn't inside his Poké Ball like other Pokémon. Ash realizes that she's right and tells Pikachu to go inside, but Pikachu refuses, repeatedly swatting the ball away. Ash's mom simply assumes that the two are playing catch, but admits that she finds Pikachu "weird". Pikachu doesn't take kindly to this comment and shocks everyone in the area, except Professor Oak, who remarks that the rubber gloves that were packed will come in handy since rubber doesn't conduct electricity.

Ash and Pikachu begin their long journey, walking {{rt|1|Kanto|beyond the outskirts of Pallet Town}}. Or rather, Ash, wearing the rubber gloves, is walking while Pikachu, who is tied to a clothesline like a leash, has to be dragged along behind him. Ash tries talking to Pikachu, but all he learns is that the Pokémon can only say its name and doesn't like him at all. Trying to persuade Pikachu to go inside his Poké Ball, Ash consults his Pokédex but it confirms that while many Pokémon travel in Poké Balls some don't like being confined. Deciding to make life easier for Pikachu, Ash removes the leash and rubber gloves but Pikachu still isn't impressed. Just then the two hear footsteps behind them and find that they are close to a {{p|Pidgey}}. Ash looks up Pidgey in the Pokédex and finds that the small bird is a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon which is gentle, easy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}, and a good choice for a beginning Trainer. Ash is happy at the chance to test Pikachu's skills and tries to send him to battle, but Pikachu refuses and instead decides to climb a tree and watch. Ash, angry at Pikachu's continuing disobedience, decides to do it himself and throws a Poké Ball at Pidgey. The ball connects and Pidgey is drawn inside, leading Ash to think that he's captured it. However, the Poké Ball shakes for a few seconds before Pidgey escapes, and the Pokédex explains that when catching a Pokémon you normally have your own Pokémon battle to weaken the target first. Pikachu finds Ash's ineptitude hilarious while Ash gets more worked up, determined to show Pikachu what he can do. He decides to try sneaking up on Pidgey with his pajama shirt, but when he covers it the Pokémon unleashes its {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Sand Attack}} in response. Ash is sent crashing to the ground and Pidgey flies away. As Ash bemoans his bad luck, he then notices another Pokémon rifling through his bag. He chases it away as the Pokédex identifies it as {{p|Rattata}}, a {{t|Normal}} type that lives in the forest. When Ash states that they're not in a forest, the Pokédex goes on to explain that occasionally Rattata will emerge to steal food from ''stupid'' travelers.

As Pikachu laughs further, Ash notices some more Pidgey nearby and throws a stone at them in frustration. Just then he spots what he thinks is a lone Pidgey nearby and is determined to finally catch one. He throws another stone and it makes a direct hit, but it turns out not to be a Pidgey, but instead a much angrier-looking bird Pokémon. Ash scans it with his Pokédex and it identifies the bird as {{p|Spearow}} which, unlike Pidgey, has a bad attitude and a violent temperament, being known for attacking people and Pokémon without warning. Ash then sees Spearow flying directly at him, but Spearow spots Pikachu in a tree as it passes and decides to attack him instead. The Pokédex explains that wild Pokémon are sometimes jealous of those with Trainers. As Ash tries to get Spearow to focus on him again instead, Spearow nearly knocks Pikachu out of the tree, at which point the Electric Mouse unleashes electricity at his attacker which sends Spearow falling to the ground.

Spearow is down, but not out, and it lets out a loud cry. In the distance, Ash and Pikachu spot a large flock of Spearow emerging from a tree and heading straight towards them. The two decide to make a run for it, and quickly try to get away as the furious flock give chase. Ash promises to protect Pikachu, but Pikachu runs on ahead of Ash, making himself an easy target for Spearow who don't hesitate to attack him en masse. By the time Ash catches up, Pikachu is very weak and can no longer run, so Ash picks him up and carries him away. The two come to a fast flowing river and Ash, needing to get away from the angry Spearow quickly, jumps in and allows himself and Pikachu to be swept away, during which he very nearly becomes lunch for a {{p|Gyarados}}.

Further down the river, where there's no current, {{an|Misty|a young girl}} is leisurely [[fishing]] when the lure starts to react. The girl quickly grabs her rod to reel in what she thinks will be a big one, but instead yanks out Ash and Pikachu. She is disappointed, but then notices Pikachu and angrily tells Ash that he should never let his Pokémon get into such a bad condition. She tells him that Pikachu needs to get treatment right away, explaining that there is a [[Pokémon Center]] (a medical center that specializes in healing Pokémon) nearby. As she points out the direction that Ash needs to go, he notices the flock of Spearow has caught up to them. Ash decides to make a getaway on the girl's [[Bicycle|bike]], putting Pikachu in the basket, despite her protests, promising that he'll eventually give it back, much to her anger.

As Ash rides for dear life, a thunderstorm starts. With rain falling and the Spearow flock still on his tail, Ash rides as fast as he can. However, the Spearow catch up and start to attack him, and this coupled with the dangerous conditions eventually cause Ash to fly off a small bank, crashing to the ground. Lying in the mud, Ash spots Pikachu nearby weaker than ever. Upset that his first day as a Pokémon Trainer has turned into such a disaster, Ash tells Pikachu to get inside his Poké Ball as it seems to be the only way that he can be safe from the approaching Spearow. Deciding that he's done running, Ash stands before the Spearow and announces that he refuses to be beaten by the likes of them if he's going to be a Pokémon Master, vowing to defeat them all. Pikachu sees that Ash is willing to sacrifice himself to save him and, just before the Spearow flock can hit, jumps onto his shoulder and then into the air. Pikachu is struck by lightning, causing him to let out a massive {{m|Thunder Shock}} which throws Ash back onto the ground.

Soon, the rain has cleared and the sun is shining. Ash and Pikachu are lying unconscious near the smouldering remains of the bike they stole. The two wake up and find the Spearow flock has gone. They weakly note that despite everything, they managed to defeat their attackers together and finally a friendship is formed. Just then, {{an|Ho-Oh|a shimmering golden Pokémon}} flies overhead towards a rainbow. Ash wonders what it was, and the Pokédex can't identify it, but explains that there are many Pokémon species yet to be discovered. After watching the Pokémon disappear into the distance, Ash picks up Pikachu and keeps on walking as the narrator explains that Ash and Pikachu have many more adventures together to come. Reaching a bank, Ash spots [[Viridian City]] in the distance and heads toward it, having taken the first of many steps on his Pokémon journey.

[[File:Green Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|200px|The green Poké Ball from the first scene]]
[[File:Ho-Oh Debut.png|thumb|200px|{{an|Ho-Oh}} in its debut]]
* This episode was chosen by [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] as the first episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]'', a series of reruns to commemorate the release of [[M20]] in 2017.
* The beginning of the episode features sound effects from the original [[Game Boy]] games, drawing from the opening animation from {{game|Red and Green|s}} (with a {{p|Gengar}} battling a {{p|Nidorino}}) before transitioning seamlessly into the {{pkmn|battle}} that {{Ash}} himself is watching on [[Television|TV]].
** A similar sequence and transition occurs in the beginning of the [[PO01|first episode]] of the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries, in which {{OBP|Red|Origins}} watches a televised battle between Gengar and Nidorino.
** When it shows the stadium, it appears as a card.
* An early, unused frame of the stadium battle scene exists.
* The shadowed {{pkmn|Trainer}} who sends out Nidorino and {{p|Onix}} to battle greatly resembles [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo League]] [[Elite Four]].
* {{Ash}}'s introductory shot is repeated in [[BW001|the first episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' as a throwback to this episode.
* Ash has a {{p|Voltorb}} clock with a cuckoo {{p|Pidgey}} in it. Furthermore, he ends up breaking it in his sleep, unknowingly using it as a [[Poké Ball]] shortly after 4 AM.
* The order in which Ash opens the [[starter Pokémon]]'s Poké Balls, only to find them empty, indicates his preferred choices: {{p|Squirtle}} first, {{p|Bulbasaur}} second, and {{p|Charmander}} last.
** Coincidentally, this is the same order the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} from Super Smash Bros. Brawl obtains their respective evolved forms in the Subspace Emissary.
* Despite this episode centering around receiving a starter Pokémon, neither Bulbasaur, Charmander, nor Squirtle actually appeared in the flesh until ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', and ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', respectively. This is unlike the following generations, when at least one of the starter Pokémon appeared in the first episode of each generation.
* This is the only episode where [[Ash's Pikachu]] is seen inside his {{i|Poké Ball}}.
* This episode reveals that {{p|Spearow}} see in black and white.
* This is one of the few episodes in which [[Rachael Lillis]] provides the voice of Pikachu in a few scenes of the dub. This happened when another Japanese voice actor spoke over [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s Pikachu voice and the audio could not be used.
* The legendary bird Ash saw at the end of the episode was {{an|Ho-Oh}}. This makes {{p|Ho-Oh}} the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the series, and in the first episode of the entire series.
* Only two pieces of background music were kept in the dub: the opening music of Red and Green in the beginning, and ''Tears, After the Cloudy Weather'' in the scene where Ash is defending Pikachu from the Spearow.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book {{book|I Choose You!}}.
* This episode can be found on volume 3 of [[Game Boy Advance Video]].
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 1: Pikachu'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series and on ''Pokémon All-Stars: Pikachu'' from {{wp|Magna Pacific}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 4}} series.
* Coincidentally, Ash would later attempt to use a Pidgey and {{p|Rattata}} in the following episode against {{TRT}} after failing to capture both Pokémon in this episode.
* This is the only episode of the original series in which the [[Team Rocket trio]] does not appear. The next time would not occur in the regular episodes until ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', 672 episodes later. They also did not appear in a clip show episode, [[AG120]], which was never aired outside of Japan.
* This episode has the most [[List of Pokémon by anime debut|Pokémon debuts]] in the entire {{pkmn|anime}}, with 16.
* Parts of this episode are remade in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]''.

===Errors===
* As {{Delia}} catches the alarm clock Ash threw, her ponytail curls to her left shoulder. When it is seen from behind in the next shot, it is curled to her right shoulder.
* When {{an|Professor Oak}} appears on television to discuss the starter Pokémon, the background colors behind Charmander and Squirtle are reversed (blue behind Charmander and red behind Squirtle). Bulbasaur's background color, green, is correctly shown.
** In this same scene, the starters look significantly different between the shot of the whole television and the close-up of the screen. Charmander, for instance, has a much larger tail flame and more open mouth in the close-up.
* When Ash throws the Poké Balls containing Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in his dream, both sides of the Poké Balls are red. This was fixed in the scenes of the Poké Balls releasing the Pokémon.
* When Ash passes Gary's cheerleaders and a crowd, a man has no eyes.
* As Ash runs to Professor Oak to collect his first Pokémon, the top button on his pajamas changes from green to yellow.
* {{Gary}} addresses Ash as if he has never met him before, despite the fact that they were childhood friends.
* After Gary tells Ash that {{TP|Gary|his Pokémon|Blastoise}} is inside its Poké Ball, the order of [[Gary's cheerleaders]] reversed.
* If all three starters had already been taken, then the Poké Balls containing them should be with their Trainers, as Gary's is, and not with Professor Oak.
** Also, the Japanese writing on the Poké Balls disappear after Ash picks them up.
* After Ash opens Charmander's Poké Ball in Oak's lab, part of Oak's coat unnaturally changes position as he speaks.
* When Professor Oak hands Ash Pikachu's Poké Ball, the bottom portion of the black ring surrounding the white center of the Poké Ball turns white.
* As Pikachu's Poké Ball opens with a strobe-like flash of light, the background behind Ash differs greatly between the two frames. The buttons and features of the large machine change position and size. Also, the table and beaker in front of it change position and shape, respectively.
* The sneakers that Delia hands Ash are the same ones he is already wearing.
* When Ash tries to make Pikachu go to his Poké Ball, the lightning bolt on it disappears.
** The same thing occurred again when Ash tries to protect Pikachu from the Spearow.
* When Ash opens his [[Pokédex]] for the first time, the directional buttons are not present.
* In the Japanese version, the Pokédex misidentifies Pidgey as the ''Sky Pokémon'' instead of the ''Tiny Bird Pokémon''.
* When Pikachu is up in the tree, and in the last shot before the title card, Ash's coat loses its yellow stripes, but they return later on.
* In the slap scene cut from the English version, the hole on Ash's hat matches his skin color despite being above his hairline.
* When Ash sees the Spearow flock again after {{an|Misty}} tells him where the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] is, his shoes are not colored, making it look like he only has white socks on. Then, when he puts Pikachu on Misty's [[Bicycle|bike]], his shoes are colored normally.
* When Ash places Pikachu's Poké Ball on the ground, his thumb passes right through it when he stands up to face the flock of Spearow.
* When Ash stands up to the Spearow to protect Pikachu, he incorrectly refers to them "Spearows." The plural of a specific species of Pokémon is the same as the singular.
* As Ash watches Ho-Oh at the end of the episode, [[Ash's hat|his hat]] points backward as it had since he jumped into the river. As he walks uphill in the next scene, it points forward. When he gets to the top and looks at Viridian City, it points backward again. Lastly, as we see him from behind as he walks toward Viridian, his hat points forward again.
* Throughout this episode and [[EP002|the next]], Professor Oak's hair changes.
* When Ash says "Pokémon Master" for the second time and when the camera zooms out, his mouth is not synchronized.
* The Poké Ball pattern on Ash's blanket on his bed has every button on each Poké Ball colored black instead of white.
* During the scene in which Ash is dreaming about the Kanto starter Pokémon, the black lines on the Poké Balls on Ash's blanket are colored white similar to the buttons on the same Poké Balls on his blanket.
* When [[Gary's cheerleaders]] cheer for [[Gary]], the cheerleaders' mouths are not synchronized.
* In the scene where the crowd is seen going towards Gary's car, the sign near the path that goes to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] is written in Japanese.
* When Gary's cheerleaders cheer for Gary, there are three cheerleaders. When the crowd is seen going towards Gary's car, there are five cheerleaders.
* When Ash asks for his Pokémon, Professor Oak can understand him even though his teeth did not move.
* When Professor Oak comments about Ash wearing pajamas, his mouth does not move.

===Changes===
====Dub edits====
[[File:Misty Slap.png|thumb|200px|The cut shot]]
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 1 (Poliwrath error)
* Onix's {{m|Tackle}} was not referred to by its name in the [[dub]], whereas in the Japanese version, the announcer clearly identifies the attack.
* During the shot of the whole television and Ash moving his head into view, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle have their Japanese names written below their pictures. The names are gone during and after the close-up, however.
* When the people outside of Professor Oak's lab cheer for Ash, the flag says "{{tt|ガンバレサトシ！|Go for it, Satoshi!}}" on the Japanese version. The dub edits this to "GO ASH GO!".
* The Poké Balls in Professor Oak's lab are labeled in Japanese when they first appear, but are painted over when Ash picks up one up. These labels are also partially visible when Pikachu's Poké Ball is revealed.
* In the Japanese version, after being shocked by Pikachu, {{Delia}} tells Ash to change into his pajamas before going to sleep, even if it's the dirty pajamas he was wearing at the moment. The dub changed this to her telling Ash to remember to change his underwear every single day.
* The Japanese version of the scene with Ash talking with Pikachu on {{rt|1|Kanto}} contains an untranslatable pun. When Ash asks Pikachu to talk ({{tt|話|hanashi}}) to him, Pikachu misunderstands this as him saying it has "no teeth" ({{tt|歯なし|ha nashi}}), thus opening its mouth to show Ash that it indeed does have teeth. In the dub, Ash asks Pikachu to open its mouth and tell him what's wrong, to which Pikachu responds to by literally opening its mouth wide open.
* In the Japanese version, after Ash thanks Misty, she slaps him. This was cut from the dub (the screen freezes just as Ash answers Misty) due to physical violence. In the next scene, Ash can clearly be seen rubbing his aching face and Misty has her hand in the air.
* In the Japanese version, Misty tells Ash there is a hospital in [[Viridian City]]; in the dub, she just says that it is nearby.
* The English-dubbed version of this episode was released in Japan as part of the ''{{DL|Pokémon de English|Pokémon de English! Aisatsu Hen}}'' VHS/DVD. This version has a few changes made:
** Some paint edits are undone, such as the Japanese labels on the Poké Balls in Professor Oak's Laboratory.
** The Who's That Pokémon? segment from [[EP160]] is used instead of the original.
** The shot of Misty slapping Ash is included, though the slap doesn't produce any sound.
** The [[PokéRAP]] and end credits are not included.

====Differences between the episode and the [[Pocket Monsters Film Comic|comic adaptation]]====
* The opening League Battle was shortened, cutting out the reference to the Game Boy opening scene.
* Ash's attempt at catching Rattata was cut.
* Ash's escape through the river was shortened, only showing the first swimming distance. {{p|Gyarados}} and Ash's attempt to swim away from it were cut.
* In the ending of the episode, after Pikachu licks Ash, Ash was silent, though his gratefulness for finally earning Pikachu's respect is still implied. In the comic, it has Ash either saying or thinking, "Hey, Pikachu really does like me!"

====Differences between the episode and Pokémon the Animation Volume 1====
* After Misty scolds Ash for endangering Pikachu, she directly comforts and cradles the injured Pikachu instead of simply expressing concern for his well-being.

'''Tracey's Scyther''' (Japanese: '''ケンジのストライク''' ''Kenji's Strike'') was the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Tracey Sketchit]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and his third overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Tracey Scyther injured.png|thumb|left|220px|Scyther upon initial encounter]]
====[[Original series]]====
=====Orange Islands=====
Scyther debuted in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', where Tracey discovered it lying in a field on [[Murcott Island]] injured. He attempted to help it by feeding it medicine, but it only growled at him and then backed away, feeling threatened. Ash attempted to catch it in a {{i|Poké Ball}}, but Scyther deflected it. Tracey then asked his {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}} to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on the Mantis Pokémon. Scyther quickly went to sleep and Tracey caught it without a struggle before heading off to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]].

While [[Nurse Joy]] was bandaging its wounds, it leered at Tracey through the window as if it was angry with him for helping. Nurse Joy went on to explain that because of the wounds it sustained, it must have been the leader of a {{p|Scyther}} swarm who lost its battle for leadership. Because it appeared elderly, she assumed that it lost to a younger, faster Scyther. Since it lost its leadership, it had to leave the swarm and live in exile by itself, unless it won another leadership match. Ash called Professor Oak, the Professor commending Tracey. Oak pointed out that Scyther's self-esteem was probably low due to losing its leadership and being caught. Oak suggested to Tracey to try to and heal Scyther’s mood and get it back in shape.
[[File:Tracey and Scyther.png|thumb|220px|left|Scyther and Tracey]]
Tracey was pained that he could do nothing to help Scyther feel better, but Ash suggested that he help train Scyther to re-challenge the new leader once it had got better. Without warning, it flew out of the window of the Pokémon Center but crashed to the ground. Undeterred, it flew off, leaving the others behind. It was assumed that Scyther wished to challenge the new leader immediately. It's soon discovered that Scyther had heard the cries of its former swarm members who had been captured by {{TRT}}, and it had left the Pokémon Center in order to save them. Scyther declined Pikachu's assistance and challenged all of {{cat|Team Rocket's Pokémon}} on its own. It was able to fight all five, but its fatigue kicked in just as {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} used {{m|Poison Sting}}. The new leader Scyther leaped in to help out and the two Scyther sent Team Rocket fleeing. Afterwards, Scyther made amends with its replacement and happily went with Tracey.

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', Tracey decided to introduce the group's Pokémon to Scyther, although all of them were afraid of it. They quickly warmed up to it after seeing that {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was not scared of it. However, {{AP|Charizard}} had no interest and nearly hit Scyther with {{m|Flamethrower}}. This caused a small rivalry between the two Pokémon. Scyther then warded off Ash's hungry {{AP|Snorlax}} from devouring the group's food. They were able to set aside their differences to alert their Trainers that Team Rocket was trying to steal their Pokémon. Scyther was also able to send Team Rocket blasting off with Skull Bash.
[[File:Pikachu and Scyther.png|thumb|200px|Scyther and Pikachu]]
Tracey loaned Scyther and {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} to Misty in order to help fight a fire on [[Ascorbia Island]] while he went to find [[Captain Aidan]]'s [[Team Wartortle|Wartortle]] in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''. It assisted by slashing away rubble that fell from the burning building long enough for Team Wartortle to come and finish the job.

On [[EP116|the day]] Tracey decided to leave the group and become {{an|Professor Oak}}'s assistant, he used Scyther to help save Pikachu who was taken by Team Rocket by slashing open the case that he had been trapped in. Once saved, Pikachu happily hopped up on Scyther's shoulder as a show of thanks.

=====Kanto=====
Scyther has rarely appeared since Tracey arrived in [[Pallet Town]], as its Trainer’s appearances dwindled as well. However, it helped with the crisis at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Tracey used Scyther during the battle against [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] when they stole all of the [[Poké Ball]]s in the lab.

In ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', Tracey used Scyther to battle Butch's {{p|Mightyena}}. However, its age got the better of it and it was unable to complete the battle. Tracey recalled it back to its Poké Ball before it could get hurt.

===Personality and characteristics===
Scyther has the attitude of a warrior and pride means everything to it. It will not back down from a battle even when the odds are stacked against it. It is also extremely loyal to members of its swarm as it came to protect them even though it had been exiled from the swarm. It has also been seen to have a gentle side as seen in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' when [[Misty's Togepi]] came to greet it.

Undoubtedly, Scyther is the powerhouse of Tracey's team and is the only one of them used solely for battling rather than Pokémon watching. Being an old warhorse however, it gets tired easily, resulting in Tracey not pushing it very hard. Its age is also evident in the way it looks as it appears scruffier than younger Scyther. It would often use Swords Dance to blow away a {{m|Smog}} or a {{m|Smokescreen}} attack caused by [[James's Weezing]].

When Scyther initially appeared, it was shown to be a 'sore loser', not taking defeat well. Indeed, after Tracey had caught it, it retained this characteristic, although, as mentioned before, it did take defeat a little bit better.

'''Pokémon - I Choose You!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン！きみにきめた！''' ''Pokémon! I Choose You!'') is the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the US, however, the first episode shown was ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997 and in the United States on September 8, 1998.

A remastered version of the episode was shown on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' on April 1, 2012 to celebrate the anime's fifteenth anniversary. Only the episode itself was remastered; the opening and ending sequences, as well as the [[eyecatch]], were not shown at all.

A second remastered version was first screened during ''Team Rocket's Emergency Meeting'' event held in Tokyo, on July 13, 2017. It was then aired on television on July 23, 2017 as the first episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]'', to celebrate the anime's twentieth anniversary. This version includes a remastered opening, ending and eyecatch sequences.

==Blurb==

Meet Ash Ketchum, a 10-year-old boy full of imagination, confidence, and dreams that are almost too big for his village of Pallet Town—plus the desire to become a Pokémon Master!

Ash is finally old enough to receive his first Pokémon from Professor Oak, the town's Pokémon expert-but on the morning Ash is supposed to claim it, he oversleeps! By the time he arrives at Professor Oak's, the three Pokémon he wanted have already been chosen by the other Trainers-in-training, including his rival, Gary! The only Pokémon remaining is a strong-willed Pikachu.

Trainer and Pokémon don't get along right away. Not only does Pikachu refuse to enter its Poké Ball, it would rather climb a tree than battle a Pidgey that Ash encounters! Disagreements aside, they start to bond when they find themselves chased by an angry flock of Spearow. The Spearow wound Pikachu, but Ash risks his own safety to protect his Pokémon.

To further their escape, Ash "borrows" a bike owned by a young girl named Misty. He soon wrecks the bike; however, he and Pikachu are surrounded by the Spearow. When Ash fearlessly confronts the Spearow, Pikachu is inspired to summon its remaining energy to repel the Pokémon with a powerful electric shock.

Finally out of harm's way, the wild experience makes Ash and Pikachu realize that they've begun what promises to be a blooming friendship.

==Plot==
In a massive stadium, two creatures known as {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are having a {{pkmn|battle}}, directed by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to give it their all. One of the Pokémon, a {{p|Gengar}}, dodges a {{m|Horn Attack}} from its opponent, a {{p|Nidorino}}, and uses its {{m|Hypnosis}} [[move|attack]] on it, causing it to fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}. Nidorino's Trainer [[recall]]s it and sends out another Pokémon known as {{p|Onix}} to battle. The massive [[Pokémon category|Rock Snake Pokémon]] emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] and prepares to take on Gengar, at which point it is revealed that the battle is being displayed on [[television]]. Its viewer is a boy named [[Ash Ketchum]] who lives in a small settlement called [[Pallet Town]] and is ten years old, which allows him to pick a [[starter Pokémon]] and become a Pokémon Trainer. Ash declares to himself and the Pokémon of the world that he will become a [[Pokémon Master]]. His speech, however, is interrupted by [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]] who tells him to get to bed as he has a big day tomorrow. Ash protests that he's too excited to sleep, so his mom tells him that if he won't sleep then to at least get ready for the next day as she switches on a program hosted by the town's Pokémon expert, {{an|Professor Oak}}. Ash watches as Oak explains that new Trainers get to pick one of three Pokémon to start their journey; the {{type|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the {{type|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, or the {{type|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}}.

As Ash sleeps, he goes over the choices in his head reasoning that any of the three available Pokémon are good for starting Trainers. However, his {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock rolls into his hand as he sleeps and, dreaming that he's throwing a Poké Ball, he chucks it at the wall, smashing it. When Ash finally wakes up, he sees the sun high in the sky and realizes that he overslept. Ash runs to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in such a hurry that he doesn't change out of his pajamas, and at this point doesn't care which starter he gets as long as he gets any. He arrives at the lab just in time to see one of his new fellow Trainers (and Professor Oak's grandson), {{Gary}}, leaving. Unfortunately for Ash, Gary is very overconfident and brags that he was on time and already has [[Gary's Squirtle|his first Pokémon]], although he refuses to reveal which one he received. Gary's large crowd, which includes [[Gary's cheerleaders|a group of cheerleaders]], cheers for him, and Gary promises that he'll become a Pokémon Master and put Pallet Town on the map before leaving. As the crowd follows, Ash is left by himself, but not for long as Professor Oak approaches. Ash apologizes for being late and hardly being dressed for the occasion, but tells Professor Oak that he's ready to pick his first Pokémon.

Taken into the lab, Ash sees three {{i|Poké Ball}}s sitting on a pedestal and states that after thinking about it he's decided to choose Squirtle as his starter, however the Poké Ball is empty. Oak explains that Squirtle has already been claimed by a Trainer that was on time. Ash doesn't mind as he decides to instead go with Bulbasaur, whom has also been taken already. Ash is still happy to go with Charmander but, alas, that Pokémon is gone too with someone who wasn't late. Ash asks if this means that there are no Pokémon left for him, and Oak tells him this isn't exactly true as he does have another Pokémon but it is very unusual. At this point, Ash is willing to settle for anything and tells Oak that he'll take whatever it is. A fourth Poké Ball emerges onto the pedestal and Ash picks it up, upon which point it opens and from it emerges a small yellow mouse-like Pokémon. Oak explains that the Pokémon is named {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Ash is very impressed by its cuteness, deciding that Pikachu is better than any of the other starters. He picks up Pikachu and hugs it, but Pikachu doesn't like being hugged and gives Ash a massive electric shock as Oak explains that Pikachu is an {{t|Electric}} type, and has a shocking personality to match. Oak gives Ash some Poké Balls and a [[Pokédex]], at which point Pikachu shocks them both.

Heading outside, Ash finds his mom and a small group of supporters outside ready to wish him luck as he heads out on his Pokémon journey. Ash's mom gets weepy at the thought of her son finally leaving to start his life as a Trainer, before then starting to list the numerous supplies that she has packed for him before he goes. She then notices Pikachu and asks why he isn't inside his Poké Ball like other Pokémon. Ash realizes that she's right and tells Pikachu to go inside, but Pikachu refuses, repeatedly swatting the ball away. Ash's mom simply assumes that the two are playing catch, but admits that she finds Pikachu "weird". Pikachu doesn't take kindly to this comment and shocks everyone in the area, except Professor Oak, who remarks that the rubber gloves that were packed will come in handy since rubber doesn't conduct electricity.

Ash and Pikachu begin their long journey, walking {{rt|1|Kanto|beyond the outskirts of Pallet Town}}. Or rather, Ash, wearing the rubber gloves, is walking while Pikachu, who is tied to a clothesline like a leash, has to be dragged along behind him. Ash tries talking to Pikachu, but all he learns is that the Pokémon can only say its name and doesn't like him at all. Trying to persuade Pikachu to go inside his Poké Ball, Ash consults his Pokédex but it confirms that while many Pokémon travel in Poké Balls some don't like being confined. Deciding to make life easier for Pikachu, Ash removes the leash and rubber gloves but Pikachu still isn't impressed. Just then the two hear footsteps behind them and find that they are close to a {{p|Pidgey}}. Ash looks up Pidgey in the Pokédex and finds that the small bird is a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon which is gentle, easy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}, and a good choice for a beginning Trainer. Ash is happy at the chance to test Pikachu's skills and tries to send him to battle, but Pikachu refuses and instead decides to climb a tree and watch. Ash, angry at Pikachu's continuing disobedience, decides to do it himself and throws a Poké Ball at Pidgey. The ball connects and Pidgey is drawn inside, leading Ash to think that he's captured it. However, the Poké Ball shakes for a few seconds before Pidgey escapes, and the Pokédex explains that when catching a Pokémon you normally have your own Pokémon battle to weaken the target first. Pikachu finds Ash's ineptitude hilarious while Ash gets more worked up, determined to show Pikachu what he can do. He decides to try sneaking up on Pidgey with his pajama shirt, but when he covers it the Pokémon unleashes its {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Sand Attack}} in response. Ash is sent crashing to the ground and Pidgey flies away. As Ash bemoans his bad luck, he then notices another Pokémon rifling through his bag. He chases it away as the Pokédex identifies it as {{p|Rattata}}, a {{t|Normal}} type that lives in the forest. When Ash states that they're not in a forest, the Pokédex goes on to explain that occasionally Rattata will emerge to steal food from ''stupid'' travelers.

As Pikachu laughs further, Ash notices some more Pidgey nearby and throws a stone at them in frustration. Just then he spots what he thinks is a lone Pidgey nearby and is determined to finally catch one. He throws another stone and it makes a direct hit, but it turns out not to be a Pidgey, but instead a much angrier-looking bird Pokémon. Ash scans it with his Pokédex and it identifies the bird as {{p|Spearow}} which, unlike Pidgey, has a bad attitude and a violent temperament, being known for attacking people and Pokémon without warning. Ash then sees Spearow flying directly at him, but Spearow spots Pikachu in a tree as it passes and decides to attack him instead. The Pokédex explains that wild Pokémon are sometimes jealous of those with Trainers. As Ash tries to get Spearow to focus on him again instead, Spearow nearly knocks Pikachu out of the tree, at which point the Electric Mouse unleashes electricity at his attacker which sends Spearow falling to the ground.

Spearow is down, but not out, and it lets out a loud cry. In the distance, Ash and Pikachu spot a large flock of Spearow emerging from a tree and heading straight towards them. The two decide to make a run for it, and quickly try to get away as the furious flock give chase. Ash promises to protect Pikachu, but Pikachu runs on ahead of Ash, making himself an easy target for Spearow who don't hesitate to attack him en masse. By the time Ash catches up, Pikachu is very weak and can no longer run, so Ash picks him up and carries him away. The two come to a fast flowing river and Ash, needing to get away from the angry Spearow quickly, jumps in and allows himself and Pikachu to be swept away, during which he very nearly becomes lunch for a {{p|Gyarados}}.

Further down the river, where there's no current, {{an|Misty|a young girl}} is leisurely [[fishing]] when the lure starts to react. The girl quickly grabs her rod to reel in what she thinks will be a big one, but instead yanks out Ash and Pikachu. She is disappointed, but then notices Pikachu and angrily tells Ash that he should never let his Pokémon get into such a bad condition. She tells him that Pikachu needs to get treatment right away, explaining that there is a [[Pokémon Center]] (a medical center that specializes in healing Pokémon) nearby. As she points out the direction that Ash needs to go, he notices the flock of Spearow has caught up to them. Ash decides to make a getaway on the girl's [[Bicycle|bike]], putting Pikachu in the basket, despite her protests, promising that he'll eventually give it back, much to her anger.

As Ash rides for dear life, a thunderstorm starts. With rain falling and the Spearow flock still on his tail, Ash rides as fast as he can. However, the Spearow catch up and start to attack him, and this coupled with the dangerous conditions eventually cause Ash to fly off a small bank, crashing to the ground. Lying in the mud, Ash spots Pikachu nearby weaker than ever. Upset that his first day as a Pokémon Trainer has turned into such a disaster, Ash tells Pikachu to get inside his Poké Ball as it seems to be the only way that he can be safe from the approaching Spearow. Deciding that he's done running, Ash stands before the Spearow and announces that he refuses to be beaten by the likes of them if he's going to be a Pokémon Master, vowing to defeat them all. Pikachu sees that Ash is willing to sacrifice himself to save him and, just before the Spearow flock can hit, jumps onto his shoulder and then into the air. Pikachu is struck by lightning, causing him to let out a massive {{m|Thunder Shock}} which throws Ash back onto the ground.

Soon, the rain has cleared and the sun is shining. Ash and Pikachu are lying unconscious near the smouldering remains of the bike they stole. The two wake up and find the Spearow flock has gone. They weakly note that despite everything, they managed to defeat their attackers together and finally a friendship is formed. Just then, {{an|Ho-Oh|a shimmering golden Pokémon}} flies overhead towards a rainbow. Ash wonders what it was, and the Pokédex can't identify it, but explains that there are many Pokémon species yet to be discovered. After watching the Pokémon disappear into the distance, Ash picks up Pikachu and keeps on walking as the narrator explains that Ash and Pikachu have many more adventures together to come. Reaching a bank, Ash spots [[Viridian City]] in the distance and heads toward it, having taken the first of many steps on his Pokémon journey.

==Trivia==
[[File:NidovsGengarAnimeRed.png|thumb|200px|The beginning of the anime (left) and the opening of {{game|Red and Green|s}} (right)]]
[[File:Stadium anime art.png|thumb|200px|An early frame]]
[[File:Bruno EP001.png|thumb|200px|The shadowed Trainer that resembles [[Bruno]]]]
[[File:Green Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|200px|The green Poké Ball from the first scene]]
[[File:Ho-Oh Debut.png|thumb|200px|{{an|Ho-Oh}} in its debut]]
* This episode was chosen by [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] as the first episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]'', a series of reruns to commemorate the release of [[M20]] in 2017.
* The beginning of the episode features sound effects from the original [[Game Boy]] games, drawing from the opening animation from {{game|Red and Green|s}} (with a {{p|Gengar}} battling a {{p|Nidorino}}) before transitioning seamlessly into the {{pkmn|battle}} that {{Ash}} himself is watching on [[Television|TV]].
** A similar sequence and transition occurs in the beginning of the [[PO01|first episode]] of the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries, in which {{OBP|Red|Origins}} watches a televised battle between Gengar and Nidorino.
** When it shows the stadium, it appears as a card.
* An early, unused frame of the stadium battle scene exists.
* The shadowed {{pkmn|Trainer}} who sends out Nidorino and {{p|Onix}} to battle greatly resembles [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo League]] [[Elite Four]].
* {{Ash}}'s introductory shot is repeated in [[BW001|the first episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' as a throwback to this episode.
* Ash has a {{p|Voltorb}} clock with a cuckoo {{p|Pidgey}} in it. Furthermore, he ends up breaking it in his sleep, unknowingly using it as a [[Poké Ball]] shortly after 4 AM.
* The order in which Ash opens the [[starter Pokémon]]'s Poké Balls, only to find them empty, indicates his preferred choices: {{p|Squirtle}} first, {{p|Bulbasaur}} second, and {{p|Charmander}} last.
** Coincidentally, this is the same order the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} from Super Smash Bros. Brawl obtains their respective evolved forms in the Subspace Emissary.
* Despite this episode centering around receiving a starter Pokémon, neither Bulbasaur, Charmander, nor Squirtle actually appeared in the flesh until ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', and ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', respectively. This is unlike the following generations, when at least one of the starter Pokémon appeared in the first episode of each generation.
* This is the only episode where [[Ash's Pikachu]] is seen inside his {{i|Poké Ball}}.
* This episode reveals that {{p|Spearow}} see in black and white.
* This is one of the few episodes in which [[Rachael Lillis]] provides the voice of Pikachu in a few scenes of the dub. This happened when another Japanese voice actor spoke over [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s Pikachu voice and the audio could not be used.
* The legendary bird Ash saw at the end of the episode was {{an|Ho-Oh}}. This makes {{p|Ho-Oh}} the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the series, and in the first episode of the entire series.
* Only two pieces of background music were kept in the dub: the opening music of Red and Green in the beginning, and ''Tears, After the Cloudy Weather'' in the scene where Ash is defending Pikachu from the Spearow.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book {{book|I Choose You!}}.
* This episode can be found on volume 3 of [[Game Boy Advance Video]].
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 1: Pikachu'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series and on ''Pokémon All-Stars: Pikachu'' from {{wp|Magna Pacific}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 4}} series.
* Coincidentally, Ash would later attempt to use a Pidgey and {{p|Rattata}} in the following episode against {{TRT}} after failing to capture both Pokémon in this episode.
* This is the only episode of the original series in which the [[Team Rocket trio]] does not appear. The next time would not occur in the regular episodes until ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', 672 episodes later. They also did not appear in a clip show episode, [[AG120]], which was never aired outside of Japan.
* This episode has the most [[List of Pokémon by anime debut|Pokémon debuts]] in the entire {{pkmn|anime}}, with 16.
* Parts of this episode are remade in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]''.

===Errors===
* As {{Delia}} catches the alarm clock Ash threw, her ponytail curls to her left shoulder. When it is seen from behind in the next shot, it is curled to her right shoulder.
* When {{an|Professor Oak}} appears on television to discuss the starter Pokémon, the background colors behind Charmander and Squirtle are reversed (blue behind Charmander and red behind Squirtle). Bulbasaur's background color, green, is correctly shown.
** In this same scene, the starters look significantly different between the shot of the whole television and the close-up of the screen. Charmander, for instance, has a much larger tail flame and more open mouth in the close-up.
* When Ash throws the Poké Balls containing Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in his dream, both sides of the Poké Balls are red. This was fixed in the scenes of the Poké Balls releasing the Pokémon.
* When Ash passes Gary's cheerleaders and a crowd, a man has no eyes.
* As Ash runs to Professor Oak to collect his first Pokémon, the top button on his pajamas changes from green to yellow.
* {{Gary}} addresses Ash as if he has never met him before, despite the fact that they were childhood friends.
* After Gary tells Ash that {{TP|Gary|his Pokémon|Blastoise}} is inside its Poké Ball, the order of [[Gary's cheerleaders]] reversed.
* If all three starters had already been taken, then the Poké Balls containing them should be with their Trainers, as Gary's is, and not with Professor Oak.
** Also, the Japanese writing on the Poké Balls disappear after Ash picks them up.
* After Ash opens Charmander's Poké Ball in Oak's lab, part of Oak's coat unnaturally changes position as he speaks.
* When Professor Oak hands Ash Pikachu's Poké Ball, the bottom portion of the black ring surrounding the white center of the Poké Ball turns white.
* As Pikachu's Poké Ball opens with a strobe-like flash of light, the background behind Ash differs greatly between the two frames. The buttons and features of the large machine change position and size. Also, the table and beaker in front of it change position and shape, respectively.
* The sneakers that Delia hands Ash are the same ones he is already wearing.
* When Ash tries to make Pikachu go to his Poké Ball, the lightning bolt on it disappears.
** The same thing occurred again when Ash tries to protect Pikachu from the Spearow.
* When Ash opens his [[Pokédex]] for the first time, the directional buttons are not present.
* In the Japanese version, the Pokédex misidentifies Pidgey as the ''Sky Pokémon'' instead of the ''Tiny Bird Pokémon''.
* When Pikachu is up in the tree, and in the last shot before the title card, Ash's coat loses its yellow stripes, but they return later on.
* In the slap scene cut from the English version, the hole on Ash's hat matches his skin color despite being above his hairline.
* When Ash sees the Spearow flock again after {{an|Misty}} tells him where the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] is, his shoes are not colored, making it look like he only has white socks on. Then, when he puts Pikachu on Misty's [[Bicycle|bike]], his shoes are colored normally.
* When Ash places Pikachu's Poké Ball on the ground, his thumb passes right through it when he stands up to face the flock of Spearow.
* When Ash stands up to the Spearow to protect Pikachu, he incorrectly refers to them "Spearows." The plural of a specific species of Pokémon is the same as the singular.
* As Ash watches Ho-Oh at the end of the episode, [[Ash's hat|his hat]] points backward as it had since he jumped into the river. As he walks uphill in the next scene, it points forward. When he gets to the top and looks at Viridian City, it points backward again. Lastly, as we see him from behind as he walks toward Viridian, his hat points forward again.
* Throughout this episode and [[EP002|the next]], Professor Oak's hair changes.
* When Ash says "Pokémon Master" for the second time and when the camera zooms out, his mouth is not synchronized.
* The Poké Ball pattern on Ash's blanket on his bed has every button on each Poké Ball colored black instead of white.
* During the scene in which Ash is dreaming about the Kanto starter Pokémon, the black lines on the Poké Balls on Ash's blanket are colored white similar to the buttons on the same Poké Balls on his blanket.
* When [[Gary's cheerleaders]] cheer for [[Gary]], the cheerleaders' mouths are not synchronized.
* In the scene where the crowd is seen going towards Gary's car, the sign near the path that goes to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] is written in Japanese.
* When Gary's cheerleaders cheer for Gary, there are three cheerleaders. When the crowd is seen going towards Gary's car, there are five cheerleaders.
* When Ash asks for his Pokémon, Professor Oak can understand him even though his teeth did not move.
* When Professor Oak comments about Ash wearing pajamas, his mouth does not move.

===Changes===
====Dub edits====
[[File:Misty Slap.png|thumb|200px|The cut shot]]
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 1 (Poliwrath error)
* Onix's {{m|Tackle}} was not referred to by its name in the [[dub]], whereas in the Japanese version, the announcer clearly identifies the attack.
* During the shot of the whole television and Ash moving his head into view, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle have their Japanese names written below their pictures. The names are gone during and after the close-up, however.
* When the people outside of Professor Oak's lab cheer for Ash, the flag says "{{tt|ガンバレサトシ！|Go for it, Satoshi!}}" on the Japanese version. The dub edits this to "GO ASH GO!".
* The Poké Balls in Professor Oak's lab are labeled in Japanese when they first appear, but are painted over when Ash picks up one up. These labels are also partially visible when Pikachu's Poké Ball is revealed.
* In the Japanese version, after being shocked by Pikachu, {{Delia}} tells Ash to change into his pajamas before going to sleep, even if it's the dirty pajamas he was wearing at the moment. The dub changed this to her telling Ash to remember to change his underwear every single day.
* The Japanese version of the scene with Ash talking with Pikachu on {{rt|1|Kanto}} contains an untranslatable pun. When Ash asks Pikachu to talk ({{tt|話|hanashi}}) to him, Pikachu misunderstands this as him saying it has "no teeth" ({{tt|歯なし|ha nashi}}), thus opening its mouth to show Ash that it indeed does have teeth. In the dub, Ash asks Pikachu to open its mouth and tell him what's wrong, to which Pikachu responds to by literally opening its mouth wide open.
* In the Japanese version, after Ash thanks Misty, she slaps him. This was cut from the dub (the screen freezes just as Ash answers Misty) due to physical violence. In the next scene, Ash can clearly be seen rubbing his aching face and Misty has her hand in the air.
* In the Japanese version, Misty tells Ash there is a hospital in [[Viridian City]]; in the dub, she just says that it is nearby.
* The English-dubbed version of this episode was released in Japan as part of the ''{{DL|Pokémon de English|Pokémon de English! Aisatsu Hen}}'' VHS/DVD. This version has a few changes made:
** Some paint edits are undone, such as the Japanese labels on the Poké Balls in Professor Oak's Laboratory.
** The Who's That Pokémon? segment from [[EP160]] is used instead of the original.
** The shot of Misty slapping Ash is included, though the slap doesn't produce any sound.
** The [[PokéRAP]] and end credits are not included.

====Differences between the episode and the [[Pocket Monsters Film Comic|comic adaptation]]====
* The opening League Battle was shortened, cutting out the reference to the Game Boy opening scene.
* Ash's attempt at catching Rattata was cut.
* Ash's escape through the river was shortened, only showing the first swimming distance. {{p|Gyarados}} and Ash's attempt to swim away from it were cut.
* In the ending of the episode, after Pikachu licks Ash, Ash was silent, though his gratefulness for finally earning Pikachu's respect is still implied. In the comic, it has Ash either saying or thinking, "Hey, Pikachu really does like me!"

====Differences between the episode and Pokémon the Animation Volume 1====
* After Misty scolds Ash for endangering Pikachu, she directly comforts and cradles the injured Pikachu instead of simply expressing concern for his well-being.

'''Casey's Beedrill''' (Japanese: '''ナナコのスピアー''' ''Nanako's Spear'') was the sixth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Johto]] [[region]], and his twentieth overall. It was later given to {{an|Casey}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
Ash caught Beedrill in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. In capturing it, he won the contest, and, according to the rules, the winner is allowed to keep the Pokémon that was caught. However, Ash chose to give Beedrill to {{an|Casey}} afterwards because of her love for yellow and black-striped {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has since become one of her three main Pokémon, along with {{TP|Casey|Meganium}} and {{p|Elekid}}.

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS17|Those Darn Electabuzz!]]'', Beedrill was seen sleeping with Meganium and Elekid, and got angry when Don, a {{p|Charizard}}, was on a rampage. It also cheered the {{p|Electabuzz}} [[baseball]] team theme song with Casey and her other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
Due to appearing only very shortly before being caught, Beedrill's original nature remains uncertain, although it was shown possessing aggressive characteristics typical to its species while attacking Ash. After joining Casey's team, it seems to have adopted Casey's confident and cheerful attitude, eagerly joining Casey, Meganium, and Elekid in performing the Electabuzz theme song.

===Moves used===
{{anmov/h|bug|poison|Casey Beedrill Twineedle.png|Using Twineedle}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Beedrill EToP.png|200px|thumb|Ash's Beedrill in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] caught a Beedrill in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', although it was never seen being used. He thought this Beedrill would help him to raise his Trainer rank, but it couldn't.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Beedrill is the only Pokémon Ash has [[Gift Pokémon|given away]].
* Beedrill is the first Pokémon from a three-stage evolutionary line that Ash caught in its fully evolved form.

'''Bellossom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キレイハナ''' ''Kireihana'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gloom}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]]. It is one of {{p|Oddish}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Vileplume}}.

==Biology==
Bellossom is a primarily green Pokémon with circular blue eyes and red markings on its cheeks. It has two bright red flowers on its head and green and yellow leaves around its waist that resemble a skirt, all adding to the appearance of a hula dancer. Bellossom's petals are said to be more beautiful the worse the {{p|Gloom}} it evolved from smelled. When it rubs the petals on its head together, it creates a pleasing sound. Bellossom does not possess feet; in the [[EP122|anime]], its center-most leaves bent as it was getting ready to spring, suggesting that it uses its leaves as substitutes for feet or legs. However, the Pokédex does classify it as a biped.

Bellossom is often seen dancing and chanting. In particular, Bellossom dances when cloudy weather persists, or when the heavy rainfall season ends and it is drawn out by the warm sunlight. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Bellosom is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains}}, and are more plentiful in the tropics

==In the anime==
[[File:Bellossom anime.png|thumb|250px|Bellossom in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP122|Flower Power]]'', [[Bailey]] wanted her two Bellossom, [[nickname]]d Belle and Bella, to be able to do a dance, but one of them was having trouble with the somersault that this dance required.

In ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'', multiple Bellossom were living in a meadow in which Gloom evolved by collecting sediments of either [[Leaf Stone]]s or [[Sun Stone]]s that blew in the wind coming from the northeast and northwest, respectively.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Sleep Powder SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Bellossom in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Bellossom will use its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to put any nearby opponents into a deep sleep. As Bellossom stays on-screen for longer than most Pokémon, this gives the thrower time to power up a smash move. It is also available as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
"''From time to time, these beautiful flower Pokémon will gather in numbers and perform an odd sort of dance to call out the sun. While in the midst of this strange exhibition, their petals brush together to create a peaceful and soothing melody. A Gloom will only evolve into a Bellossom if it's exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].''"

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Bellossom makes a return appearance in Brawl, once again using its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to put opponents to sleep and leave them vulnerable to attacks.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Flower Pokémon. After spells of cloudy weather, Bellossom will gather to call out the sun by performing a dance. When exposed long enough to the sun, the leaves on its body will spin around. {{a|Chlorophyll|A Bellossom's Speed is also known to increase with sun exposure}}. Its main specialty is poison attacks. Also, Bellossom will close its flowers when sleeping."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Bellossom returns as a Poké Ball summon, once again using {{m|Sweet Scent}} to put opponents to sleep.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Grass-type Pokémon, Bellossom evolves from Gloom, losing its secondary Poison type. It also gets smaller. It's most common to find Bellossom in tropical climates, grouped together and dancing. In Smash Bros., the Sweet Scent from Bellossom can put even the most hardened fighters to sleep.''

'''PAL''': ''Two unusual things happen when Gloom evolves into Bellossom: it gets smaller, and it loses its secondary type, Poison, becoming a purely Grass-type Pokémon. These Pokémon are most commonly found in groups in the tropics. Here, the more damage fighters have taken, the longer Sweet Scent keeps them asleep!''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Bellossom returns for the fourth time in the series, retaining {{m|Sweet Scent}}, which lulls nearby foes to sleep.

==Trivia==
[[File:1999 Bellossom Artwork.png|thumb|Bellossom's early artwork]]
* In its {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} artwork, and artwork made earlier, Bellossom's body is colored blue instead of the usual green. This color is similar to that of its evolutionary relatives and its {{Shiny}} color in [[Generation II]].
* Bellossom is the only single-type Pokémon that evolves from a dual-type Pokémon.
* Bellossom shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Bellsprout}}. They are all known as the Flower Pokémon.
* In [[Generation II]], Bellossom could not learn {{m|Sludge Bomb}} from TM36, despite its pre-evolved forms being able to do so. This was changed starting in [[Generation III]].

===Origin===
Bellossom may be based on a ''{{wp|Rafflesia keithii}}'' and a {{wp|hula}} dancer. Judging from its body structure and [[Pokédex]] entries, it may also be based on a {{wp|bell}}.

====Name origin====
Bellossom is a combination of ''bella'' or ''belle'' (Spanish and French for ''pretty'') and ''blossom''. It may also involve ''bell''.

Kireihana is a combination of 綺麗 ''kirei'' (pretty) and 花 ''hana'' (flower). It may also involve 鈴 ''rei'' (bell).

'''Pokémon - I Choose You!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン！きみにきめた！''' ''Pokémon! I Choose You!'') is the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the US, however, the first episode shown was ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997 and in the United States on September 8, 1998.

A remastered version of the episode was shown on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' on April 1, 2012 to celebrate the anime's fifteenth anniversary. Only the episode itself was remastered; the opening and ending sequences, as well as the [[eyecatch]], were not shown at all.

A second remastered version was first screened during ''Team Rocket's Emergency Meeting'' event held in Tokyo, on July 13, 2017. It was then aired on television on July 23, 2017 as the first episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]'', to celebrate the anime's twentieth anniversary. This version includes a remastered opening, ending and eyecatch sequences.

==Blurb==

Meet Ash Ketchum, a 10-year-old boy full of imagination, confidence, and dreams that are almost too big for his village of Pallet Town—plus the desire to become a Pokémon Master!

Ash is finally old enough to receive his first Pokémon from Professor Oak, the town's Pokémon expert-but on the morning Ash is supposed to claim it, he oversleeps! By the time he arrives at Professor Oak's, the three Pokémon he wanted have already been chosen by the other Trainers-in-training, including his rival, Gary! The only Pokémon remaining is a strong-willed Pikachu.

Trainer and Pokémon don't get along right away. Not only does Pikachu refuse to enter its Poké Ball, it would rather climb a tree than battle a Pidgey that Ash encounters! Disagreements aside, they start to bond when they find themselves chased by an angry flock of Spearow. The Spearow wound Pikachu, but Ash risks his own safety to protect his Pokémon.

To further their escape, Ash "borrows" a bike owned by a young girl named Misty. He soon wrecks the bike; however, he and Pikachu are surrounded by the Spearow. When Ash fearlessly confronts the Spearow, Pikachu is inspired to summon its remaining energy to repel the Pokémon with a powerful electric shock.

Finally out of harm's way, the wild experience makes Ash and Pikachu realize that they've begun what promises to be a blooming friendship.

==Plot==
In a massive stadium, two creatures known as {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are having a {{pkmn|battle}}, directed by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to give it their all. One of the Pokémon, a {{p|Gengar}}, dodges a {{m|Horn Attack}} from its opponent, a {{p|Nidorino}}, and uses its {{m|Hypnosis}} [[move|attack]] on it, causing it to fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}. Nidorino's Trainer [[recall]]s it and sends out another Pokémon known as {{p|Onix}} to battle. The massive [[Pokémon category|Rock Snake Pokémon]] emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] and prepares to take on Gengar, at which point it is revealed that the battle is being displayed on [[television]]. Its viewer is a boy named [[Ash Ketchum]] who lives in a small settlement called [[Pallet Town]] and is ten years old, which allows him to pick a [[starter Pokémon]] and become a Pokémon Trainer. Ash declares to himself and the Pokémon of the world that he will become a [[Pokémon Master]]. His speech, however, is interrupted by [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]] who tells him to get to bed as he has a big day tomorrow. Ash protests that he's too excited to sleep, so his mom tells him that if he won't sleep then to at least get ready for the next day as she switches on a program hosted by the town's Pokémon expert, {{an|Professor Oak}}. Ash watches as Oak explains that new Trainers get to pick one of three Pokémon to start their journey; the {{type|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the {{type|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, or the {{type|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}}.

As Ash sleeps, he goes over the choices in his head reasoning that any of the three available Pokémon are good for starting Trainers. However, his {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock rolls into his hand as he sleeps and, dreaming that he's throwing a Poké Ball, he chucks it at the wall, smashing it. When Ash finally wakes up, he sees the sun high in the sky and realizes that he overslept. Ash runs to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in such a hurry that he doesn't change out of his pajamas, and at this point doesn't care which starter he gets as long as he gets any. He arrives at the lab just in time to see one of his new fellow Trainers (and Professor Oak's grandson), {{Gary}}, leaving. Unfortunately for Ash, Gary is very overconfident and brags that he was on time and already has [[Gary's Squirtle|his first Pokémon]], although he refuses to reveal which one he received. Gary's large crowd, which includes [[Gary's cheerleaders|a group of cheerleaders]], cheers for him, and Gary promises that he'll become a Pokémon Master and put Pallet Town on the map before leaving. As the crowd follows, Ash is left by himself, but not for long as Professor Oak approaches. Ash apologizes for being late and hardly being dressed for the occasion, but tells Professor Oak that he's ready to pick his first Pokémon.

Taken into the lab, Ash sees three {{i|Poké Ball}}s sitting on a pedestal and states that after thinking about it he's decided to choose Squirtle as his starter, however the Poké Ball is empty. Oak explains that Squirtle has already been claimed by a Trainer that was on time. Ash doesn't mind as he decides to instead go with Bulbasaur, whom has also been taken already. Ash is still happy to go with Charmander but, alas, that Pokémon is gone too with someone who wasn't late. Ash asks if this means that there are no Pokémon left for him, and Oak tells him this isn't exactly true as he does have another Pokémon but it is very unusual. At this point, Ash is willing to settle for anything and tells Oak that he'll take whatever it is. A fourth Poké Ball emerges onto the pedestal and Ash picks it up, upon which point it opens and from it emerges a small yellow mouse-like Pokémon. Oak explains that the Pokémon is named {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Ash is very impressed by its cuteness, deciding that Pikachu is better than any of the other starters. He picks up Pikachu and hugs it, but Pikachu doesn't like being hugged and gives Ash a massive electric shock as Oak explains that Pikachu is an {{t|Electric}} type, and has a shocking personality to match. Oak gives Ash some Poké Balls and a [[Pokédex]], at which point Pikachu shocks them both.

Heading outside, Ash finds his mom and a small group of supporters outside ready to wish him luck as he heads out on his Pokémon journey. Ash's mom gets weepy at the thought of her son finally leaving to start his life as a Trainer, before then starting to list the numerous supplies that she has packed for him before he goes. She then notices Pikachu and asks why he isn't inside his Poké Ball like other Pokémon. Ash realizes that she's right and tells Pikachu to go inside, but Pikachu refuses, repeatedly swatting the ball away. Ash's mom simply assumes that the two are playing catch, but admits that she finds Pikachu "weird". Pikachu doesn't take kindly to this comment and shocks everyone in the area, except Professor Oak, who remarks that the rubber gloves that were packed will come in handy since rubber doesn't conduct electricity.

Ash and Pikachu begin their long journey, walking {{rt|1|Kanto|beyond the outskirts of Pallet Town}}. Or rather, Ash, wearing the rubber gloves, is walking while Pikachu, who is tied to a clothesline like a leash, has to be dragged along behind him. Ash tries talking to Pikachu, but all he learns is that the Pokémon can only say its name and doesn't like him at all. Trying to persuade Pikachu to go inside his Poké Ball, Ash consults his Pokédex but it confirms that while many Pokémon travel in Poké Balls some don't like being confined. Deciding to make life easier for Pikachu, Ash removes the leash and rubber gloves but Pikachu still isn't impressed. Just then the two hear footsteps behind them and find that they are close to a {{p|Pidgey}}. Ash looks up Pidgey in the Pokédex and finds that the small bird is a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon which is gentle, easy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}, and a good choice for a beginning Trainer. Ash is happy at the chance to test Pikachu's skills and tries to send him to battle, but Pikachu refuses and instead decides to climb a tree and watch. Ash, angry at Pikachu's continuing disobedience, decides to do it himself and throws a Poké Ball at Pidgey. The ball connects and Pidgey is drawn inside, leading Ash to think that he's captured it. However, the Poké Ball shakes for a few seconds before Pidgey escapes, and the Pokédex explains that when catching a Pokémon you normally have your own Pokémon battle to weaken the target first. Pikachu finds Ash's ineptitude hilarious while Ash gets more worked up, determined to show Pikachu what he can do. He decides to try sneaking up on Pidgey with his pajama shirt, but when he covers it the Pokémon unleashes its {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Sand Attack}} in response. Ash is sent crashing to the ground and Pidgey flies away. As Ash bemoans his bad luck, he then notices another Pokémon rifling through his bag. He chases it away as the Pokédex identifies it as {{p|Rattata}}, a {{t|Normal}} type that lives in the forest. When Ash states that they're not in a forest, the Pokédex goes on to explain that occasionally Rattata will emerge to steal food from ''stupid'' travelers.

As Pikachu laughs further, Ash notices some more Pidgey nearby and throws a stone at them in frustration. Just then he spots what he thinks is a lone Pidgey nearby and is determined to finally catch one. He throws another stone and it makes a direct hit, but it turns out not to be a Pidgey, but instead a much angrier-looking bird Pokémon. Ash scans it with his Pokédex and it identifies the bird as {{p|Spearow}} which, unlike Pidgey, has a bad attitude and a violent temperament, being known for attacking people and Pokémon without warning. Ash then sees Spearow flying directly at him, but Spearow spots Pikachu in a tree as it passes and decides to attack him instead. The Pokédex explains that wild Pokémon are sometimes jealous of those with Trainers. As Ash tries to get Spearow to focus on him again instead, Spearow nearly knocks Pikachu out of the tree, at which point the Electric Mouse unleashes electricity at his attacker which sends Spearow falling to the ground.

Spearow is down, but not out, and it lets out a loud cry. In the distance, Ash and Pikachu spot a large flock of Spearow emerging from a tree and heading straight towards them. The two decide to make a run for it, and quickly try to get away as the furious flock give chase. Ash promises to protect Pikachu, but Pikachu runs on ahead of Ash, making himself an easy target for Spearow who don't hesitate to attack him en masse. By the time Ash catches up, Pikachu is very weak and can no longer run, so Ash picks him up and carries him away. The two come to a fast flowing river and Ash, needing to get away from the angry Spearow quickly, jumps in and allows himself and Pikachu to be swept away, during which he very nearly becomes lunch for a {{p|Gyarados}}.

Further down the river, where there's no current, {{an|Misty|a young girl}} is leisurely [[fishing]] when the lure starts to react. The girl quickly grabs her rod to reel in what she thinks will be a big one, but instead yanks out Ash and Pikachu. She is disappointed, but then notices Pikachu and angrily tells Ash that he should never let his Pokémon get into such a bad condition. She tells him that Pikachu needs to get treatment right away, explaining that there is a [[Pokémon Center]] (a medical center that specializes in healing Pokémon) nearby. As she points out the direction that Ash needs to go, he notices the flock of Spearow has caught up to them. Ash decides to make a getaway on the girl's [[Bicycle|bike]], putting Pikachu in the basket, despite her protests, promising that he'll eventually give it back, much to her anger.

As Ash rides for dear life, a thunderstorm starts. With rain falling and the Spearow flock still on his tail, Ash rides as fast as he can. However, the Spearow catch up and start to attack him, and this coupled with the dangerous conditions eventually cause Ash to fly off a small bank, crashing to the ground. Lying in the mud, Ash spots Pikachu nearby weaker than ever. Upset that his first day as a Pokémon Trainer has turned into such a disaster, Ash tells Pikachu to get inside his Poké Ball as it seems to be the only way that he can be safe from the approaching Spearow. Deciding that he's done running, Ash stands before the Spearow and announces that he refuses to be beaten by the likes of them if he's going to be a Pokémon Master, vowing to defeat them all. Pikachu sees that Ash is willing to sacrifice himself to save him and, just before the Spearow flock can hit, jumps onto his shoulder and then into the air. Pikachu is struck by lightning, causing him to let out a massive {{m|Thunder Shock}} which throws Ash back onto the ground.

Soon, the rain has cleared and the sun is shining. Ash and Pikachu are lying unconscious near the smouldering remains of the bike they stole. The two wake up and find the Spearow flock has gone. They weakly note that despite everything, they managed to defeat their attackers together and finally a friendship is formed. Just then, {{an|Ho-Oh|a shimmering golden Pokémon}} flies overhead towards a rainbow. Ash wonders what it was, and the Pokédex can't identify it, but explains that there are many Pokémon species yet to be discovered. After watching the Pokémon disappear into the distance, Ash picks up Pikachu and keeps on walking as the narrator explains that Ash and Pikachu have many more adventures together to come. Reaching a bank, Ash spots [[Viridian City]] in the distance and heads toward it, having taken the first of many steps on his Pokémon journey.

* This episode was chosen by [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] as the first episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]'', a series of reruns to commemorate the release of [[M20]] in 2017.
* The beginning of the episode features sound effects from the original [[Game Boy]] games, drawing from the opening animation from {{game|Red and Green|s}} (with a {{p|Gengar}} battling a {{p|Nidorino}}) before transitioning seamlessly into the {{pkmn|battle}} that {{Ash}} himself is watching on [[Television|TV]].
** A similar sequence and transition occurs in the beginning of the [[PO01|first episode]] of the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries, in which {{OBP|Red|Origins}} watches a televised battle between Gengar and Nidorino.
** When it shows the stadium, it appears as a card.
* An early, unused frame of the stadium battle scene exists.
* The shadowed {{pkmn|Trainer}} who sends out Nidorino and {{p|Onix}} to battle greatly resembles [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo League]] [[Elite Four]].
* {{Ash}}'s introductory shot is repeated in [[BW001|the first episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' as a throwback to this episode.
* Ash has a {{p|Voltorb}} clock with a cuckoo {{p|Pidgey}} in it. Furthermore, he ends up breaking it in his sleep, unknowingly using it as a [[Poké Ball]] shortly after 4 AM.
* The order in which Ash opens the [[starter Pokémon]]'s Poké Balls, only to find them empty, indicates his preferred choices: {{p|Squirtle}} first, {{p|Bulbasaur}} second, and {{p|Charmander}} last.
** Coincidentally, this is the same order the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} from Super Smash Bros. Brawl obtains their respective evolved forms in the Subspace Emissary.
* Despite this episode centering around receiving a starter Pokémon, neither Bulbasaur, Charmander, nor Squirtle actually appeared in the flesh until ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', and ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', respectively. This is unlike the following generations, when at least one of the starter Pokémon appeared in the first episode of each generation.
* This is the only episode where [[Ash's Pikachu]] is seen inside his {{i|Poké Ball}}.
* This episode reveals that {{p|Spearow}} see in black and white.
* This is one of the few episodes in which [[Rachael Lillis]] provides the voice of Pikachu in a few scenes of the dub. This happened when another Japanese voice actor spoke over [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s Pikachu voice and the audio could not be used.
* The legendary bird Ash saw at the end of the episode was {{an|Ho-Oh}}. This makes {{p|Ho-Oh}} the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the series, and in the first episode of the entire series.
* Only two pieces of background music were kept in the dub: the opening music of Red and Green in the beginning, and ''Tears, After the Cloudy Weather'' in the scene where Ash is defending Pikachu from the Spearow.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book {{book|I Choose You!}}.
* This episode can be found on volume 3 of [[Game Boy Advance Video]].
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 1: Pikachu'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series and on ''Pokémon All-Stars: Pikachu'' from {{wp|Magna Pacific}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 4}} series.
* Coincidentally, Ash would later attempt to use a Pidgey and {{p|Rattata}} in the following episode against {{TRT}} after failing to capture both Pokémon in this episode.
* This is the only episode of the original series in which the [[Team Rocket trio]] does not appear. The next time would not occur in the regular episodes until ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', 672 episodes later. They also did not appear in a clip show episode, [[AG120]], which was never aired outside of Japan.
* This episode has the most [[List of Pokémon by anime debut|Pokémon debuts]] in the entire {{pkmn|anime}}, with 16.
* Parts of this episode are remade in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]''.

===Errors===
* As {{Delia}} catches the alarm clock Ash threw, her ponytail curls to her left shoulder. When it is seen from behind in the next shot, it is curled to her right shoulder.
* When {{an|Professor Oak}} appears on television to discuss the starter Pokémon, the background colors behind Charmander and Squirtle are reversed (blue behind Charmander and red behind Squirtle). Bulbasaur's background color, green, is correctly shown.
** In this same scene, the starters look significantly different between the shot of the whole television and the close-up of the screen. Charmander, for instance, has a much larger tail flame and more open mouth in the close-up.
* When Ash throws the Poké Balls containing Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in his dream, both sides of the Poké Balls are red. This was fixed in the scenes of the Poké Balls releasing the Pokémon.
* When Ash passes Gary's cheerleaders and a crowd, a man has no eyes.
* As Ash runs to Professor Oak to collect his first Pokémon, the top button on his pajamas changes from green to yellow.
* {{Gary}} addresses Ash as if he has never met him before, despite the fact that they were childhood friends.
* After Gary tells Ash that {{TP|Gary|his Pokémon|Blastoise}} is inside its Poké Ball, the order of [[Gary's cheerleaders]] reversed.
* If all three starters had already been taken, then the Poké Balls containing them should be with their Trainers, as Gary's is, and not with Professor Oak.
** Also, the Japanese writing on the Poké Balls disappear after Ash picks them up.
* After Ash opens Charmander's Poké Ball in Oak's lab, part of Oak's coat unnaturally changes position as he speaks.
* When Professor Oak hands Ash Pikachu's Poké Ball, the bottom portion of the black ring surrounding the white center of the Poké Ball turns white.
* As Pikachu's Poké Ball opens with a strobe-like flash of light, the background behind Ash differs greatly between the two frames. The buttons and features of the large machine change position and size. Also, the table and beaker in front of it change position and shape, respectively.
* The sneakers that Delia hands Ash are the same ones he is already wearing.
* When Ash tries to make Pikachu go to his Poké Ball, the lightning bolt on it disappears.
** The same thing occurred again when Ash tries to protect Pikachu from the Spearow.
* When Ash opens his [[Pokédex]] for the first time, the directional buttons are not present.
* In the Japanese version, the Pokédex misidentifies Pidgey as the ''Sky Pokémon'' instead of the ''Tiny Bird Pokémon''.
* When Pikachu is up in the tree, and in the last shot before the title card, Ash's coat loses its yellow stripes, but they return later on.
* In the slap scene cut from the English version, the hole on Ash's hat matches his skin color despite being above his hairline.
* When Ash sees the Spearow flock again after {{an|Misty}} tells him where the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] is, his shoes are not colored, making it look like he only has white socks on. Then, when he puts Pikachu on Misty's [[Bicycle|bike]], his shoes are colored normally.
* When Ash places Pikachu's Poké Ball on the ground, his thumb passes right through it when he stands up to face the flock of Spearow.
* When Ash stands up to the Spearow to protect Pikachu, he incorrectly refers to them "Spearows." The plural of a specific species of Pokémon is the same as the singular.
* As Ash watches Ho-Oh at the end of the episode, [[Ash's hat|his hat]] points backward as it had since he jumped into the river. As he walks uphill in the next scene, it points forward. When he gets to the top and looks at Viridian City, it points backward again. Lastly, as we see him from behind as he walks toward Viridian, his hat points forward again.
* Throughout this episode and [[EP002|the next]], Professor Oak's hair changes.
* When Ash says "Pokémon Master" for the second time and when the camera zooms out, his mouth is not synchronized.
* The Poké Ball pattern on Ash's blanket on his bed has every button on each Poké Ball colored black instead of white.
* During the scene in which Ash is dreaming about the Kanto starter Pokémon, the black lines on the Poké Balls on Ash's blanket are colored white similar to the buttons on the same Poké Balls on his blanket.
* When [[Gary's cheerleaders]] cheer for [[Gary]], the cheerleaders' mouths are not synchronized.
* In the scene where the crowd is seen going towards Gary's car, the sign near the path that goes to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] is written in Japanese.
* When Gary's cheerleaders cheer for Gary, there are three cheerleaders. When the crowd is seen going towards Gary's car, there are five cheerleaders.
* When Ash asks for his Pokémon, Professor Oak can understand him even though his teeth did not move.
* When Professor Oak comments about Ash wearing pajamas, his mouth does not move.

===Changes===
====Dub edits====
[[File:Misty Slap.png|thumb|200px|The cut shot]]
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 1 (Poliwrath error)
* Onix's {{m|Tackle}} was not referred to by its name in the [[dub]], whereas in the Japanese version, the announcer clearly identifies the attack.
* During the shot of the whole television and Ash moving his head into view, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle have their Japanese names written below their pictures. The names are gone during and after the close-up, however.
* When the people outside of Professor Oak's lab cheer for Ash, the flag says "{{tt|ガンバレサトシ！|Go for it, Satoshi!}}" on the Japanese version. The dub edits this to "GO ASH GO!".
* The Poké Balls in Professor Oak's lab are labeled in Japanese when they first appear, but are painted over when Ash picks up one up. These labels are also partially visible when Pikachu's Poké Ball is revealed.
* In the Japanese version, after being shocked by Pikachu, {{Delia}} tells Ash to change into his pajamas before going to sleep, even if it's the dirty pajamas he was wearing at the moment. The dub changed this to her telling Ash to remember to change his underwear every single day.
* The Japanese version of the scene with Ash talking with Pikachu on {{rt|1|Kanto}} contains an untranslatable pun. When Ash asks Pikachu to talk ({{tt|話|hanashi}}) to him, Pikachu misunderstands this as him saying it has "no teeth" ({{tt|歯なし|ha nashi}}), thus opening its mouth to show Ash that it indeed does have teeth. In the dub, Ash asks Pikachu to open its mouth and tell him what's wrong, to which Pikachu responds to by literally opening its mouth wide open.
* In the Japanese version, after Ash thanks Misty, she slaps him. This was cut from the dub (the screen freezes just as Ash answers Misty) due to physical violence. In the next scene, Ash can clearly be seen rubbing his aching face and Misty has her hand in the air.
* In the Japanese version, Misty tells Ash there is a hospital in [[Viridian City]]; in the dub, she just says that it is nearby.
* The English-dubbed version of this episode was released in Japan as part of the ''{{DL|Pokémon de English|Pokémon de English! Aisatsu Hen}}'' VHS/DVD. This version has a few changes made:
** Some paint edits are undone, such as the Japanese labels on the Poké Balls in Professor Oak's Laboratory.
** The Who's That Pokémon? segment from [[EP160]] is used instead of the original.
** The shot of Misty slapping Ash is included, though the slap doesn't produce any sound.
** The [[PokéRAP]] and end credits are not included.

====Differences between the episode and the [[Pocket Monsters Film Comic|comic adaptation]]====
* The opening League Battle was shortened, cutting out the reference to the Game Boy opening scene.
* Ash's attempt at catching Rattata was cut.
* Ash's escape through the river was shortened, only showing the first swimming distance. {{p|Gyarados}} and Ash's attempt to swim away from it were cut.
* In the ending of the episode, after Pikachu licks Ash, Ash was silent, though his gratefulness for finally earning Pikachu's respect is still implied. In the comic, it has Ash either saying or thinking, "Hey, Pikachu really does like me!"

====Differences between the episode and Pokémon the Animation Volume 1====
* After Misty scolds Ash for endangering Pikachu, she directly comforts and cradles the injured Pikachu instead of simply expressing concern for his well-being.

==Blurb==


Ash discovers and catches a Caterpie—his first Pokémon capture! Though Ash is excited, Misty is grossed out by Bug-type Pokémon, so she is repulsed by its attempts to be friends with her. At night, as Ash and Misty sleep, Caterpie shares with Pikachu its dream of evolving into a Butterfree.

The next day, Ash is able to capture a Pidgeotto after battling it with Pikachu. Before Ash can celebrate too wildly, Misty reminds him that his success is due more to luck than skill.

Team Rocket shows up to steal Pikachu—they realize that there's really something special about this Pokémon—and Ash vows to defend himself. Pikachu and Pidgeotto are weakened by Koffing and Ekans, so he reluctantly sends out Caterpie. To the surprise of Jessie and James—not to mention Ash—Caterpie's String Shot is able to defeat the Team Rocket Pokémon, including Meowth!

When Misty tries to make nice with Caterpie, it evolves into a Metapod. Could a Butterfree Evolution be far behind?

==Plot==
Picking up right where the [[EP002|previous episode]] left off, {{Ash}} throws his {{i|Poké Ball}} at a {{p|Caterpie}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. It attempts to break free but is unsuccessful. Ash celebrates catching {{AP|his first Pokémon|Caterpie}}, holding the Poké Ball and running in circles out of joy. When Ash holds the Poké Ball closer to {{an|Misty}}'s face, she reveals that she has a fear of {{t|bug}}s, even if they are contained in a Poké Ball. Pikachu is happy to have Caterpie along, and Ash decides to bring Caterpie out, scaring Misty away. Caterpie wants to make friends with Misty, but she prefers Pikachu. Ash is offended by Misty's discomfort and complaints, which hurt Caterpie's feelings. Ash reassures Caterpie and continues traveling without Misty. Misty, however, has other plans, as she is still upset about her ruined [[bicycle]] and wants Ash to replace it. Because of this, she continues following Ash.

Later that night, Ash sets up camp for the night. Misty, also getting ready to go to sleep, exchanges a few smart remarks with Ash, upsetting Pikachu and Caterpie. While Ash and Misty sleep, Pikachu and Caterpie get to know each other a little better. In the morning, Misty remains frightened of Caterpie, causing the Pokémon to become subdued and return to his Poké Ball. Although Ash is angry, a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Pidgeotto}} captures his attention.

Wanting to catch Pidgeotto, Ash throws a Poké Ball, but Pidgeotto simply swats it away. Misty retorts that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to battle and weaken a wild Pokémon to capture it. She then mentions that he caught Caterpie only because it was weak, irritating Ash, who summons Caterpie to battle it despite the type disadvantage against Pidgeotto, of which both Misty and Pikachu are aware. Ash recalls Caterpie just in time, causing Pidgeotto to get its beak stuck in a tree.

Ash sends Pikachu after Pidgeotto just as it frees itself. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to hit Pidgeotto, weakening it and allowing Ash to toss a Poké Ball. The Ball takes Pidgeotto in and drops to the ground and starts swaying. After a few moments, the Ball stops moving; Ash has captured the {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Despite the success, Misty continues to berate him for his lack of knowledge about strategy.

{{TRT}} intrudes on their argument, reciting their {{motto}}. They decide to target his Pikachu, mentioning his incredible power, which causes them to become distracted in a short internal argument before they decide to attack. They then send out {{TP|James|Koffing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} to battle, despite a [[Double Battle|double-team]] being unfair. Misty wants to jump in, but Ash does not want to break the rules. Koffing's {{m|Sludge}} attack blinds Pikachu, taking him out of the battle. While he hands Pikachu off to Misty, he decides to send out his newly caught Pidgeotto, which dodges both Koffing and Ekans's attacks before going into a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Ekans avoids the attack by {{m|Dig|going underground}}, forcing Pidgeotto to come to a sudden stop. Koffing fires a {{m|Smog}} attack, which Pidgeotto splits with its wings before dodging multiple Sludge attacks and Ekans's retaliation. Despite soaring high into the sky, both Ekans and Koffing are able to keep up with Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto tries to hit Koffing with {{m|Gust}}, but misses and is defeated.

Ash recalls Pidgeotto and tries to fight Team Rocket with his fists, but [[James]] easily holds him back. In a final attempt, Ash sends out Caterpie, which only amuses Team Rocket. Ekans and Koffing attack and Caterpie cowers, but Ash orders him to use {{m|String Shot}}. The attack completely incapacitates Koffing before Caterpie muzzles Ekans. Caterpie {{m|Tackle}}s Koffing, knocking it into Ekans and taking them both out. {{MTR}} tries to intervene, but he is also wrapped in String Shot. Taken by surprise, Team Rocket flees but promises they will be back.

Ash congratulates Caterpie on coming through, and after some encouragement, Misty pats Caterpie's head. At that moment, Caterpie begins to spray silk from his mouth, startling her. Ash puts Caterpie down as the thread covers its body, signaling its evolution. Caterpie evolves into {{p|Metapod}}, and Ash's Pokédex notes that it has reached this stage more quickly than any other Caterpie on record. In addition, Misty shows approval of Ash's strengthening bonds with his Pokémon. Despite having fewer reservations about {{AP|Metapod}}, the sight of a {{p|Beedrill}} scares Misty, who looks forward to leaving the forest.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{Ash}} says "{{i|Poké Ball}}, go!" while throwing a Poké Ball at {{AP|Caterpie}}. In this episode, instead he says, "Caterpie, you're mine!"
* This is the first episode in which [[evolution]] is shown.
** This is the first time a main character {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that would later [[Evolution|evolve]] in the same episode. This scenario would not be repeated until more than 500 episodes later, in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]''.
* This is the first episode in which a main character catches more than one Pokémon of different species. This wouldn't occur again until ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', 1,088 episodes later.
* According to this episode, {{an|Misty}} cannot stand carrots or peppers, and her fear of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon is established here.
* Misty mentions in the Japanese version that she is ten years old.
* Misty owns a red sleeping bag decorated with bubbles, while Ash owns a blue sleeping bag with "Satoshi" (Ash's Japanese name) appearing on the name-tag.
* This is the first episode where type advantages are mentioned: {{type|Flying}} moves are effective against {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* A [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real-world animal]] appears in this episode, as {{AP|Pidgeotto}} is seen eating a regular worm.
* Despite the episode title saying "''a'' Pokémon", Ash catches ''two'' Pokémon.
* Both of the Pokémon Ash catches in this episode are released by the time Ash travels to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].
* This is the first episode where Ash uses his signature catchphrase and pose when successfully catching a Pokémon.
** Each of Ash's {{ashfr|traveling companions}} would attempt to copy this during the [[original series]].
* {{AP|Caterpie}}'s fight with Pidgeotto and Ash's capturing of the latter was shown on the VHS ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''.
* In this episode, when {{p|Caterpie}} evolves into {{p|Metapod}}, it shoots a shower of white silk string from its mouth onto itself and sheds its skin in the process, similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. Later episodes show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.
* Ash mentions that the [[Pokémon League]] has regulations stating that Trainers may only use one Pokémon at a time in battles. This rule may have changed years later in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', in which [[Double Battle|two-on-two battles]] are not considered unusual.
* This was for a long time the episode with the lowest number of [[human]] characters appearing, featuring only {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, [[Jessie]], and [[James]]. 672 episodes later, ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'' matched this record.
** Coincidentally, both of these episodes take place in a [[forest]] and feature Ash catching a Bug-type Pokémon.
** 1,013 episodes later, the record was broken by ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', which features only three human characters.

===Errors===
* When Ash runs to Caterpie's [[Poké Ball]], his hat is backwards but the colors are reversed; the front becomes red and the back becomes white.
* Just before Caterpie dashes over to Misty, she is partially hiding behind a tree and the trees behind her are obscured by bushes, but when Misty backs away from Caterpie, the bushes and the trees disappear.
* During the scene when Ash and Misty are sleeping and Pikachu and Caterpie are "talking," Pikachu starts bouncing back and forth on his two feet. He suddenly stops on his left foot, but the bouncing noises can still be heard.
* Pikachu freezes in midair while doing two backflips in front of Caterpie.
* When Ash and Pikachu are startled awake by Misty's scream, Caterpie's Poké Ball starts off facing away from Misty, but when Caterpie goes back in it, it is facing towards Misty, but upside down when Ash picks it up.
* When Caterpie is about to attack Pidgeotto, one of its right "paws" is green.
* When Ash throws the Poké Ball at Pidgeotto, both halves of the Poké Ball are red.
* Pikachu's tail turns entirely yellow twice, first when Jessie and James point, and again after {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} are first called out before they attack anything.
* When Ekans and Koffing knock out Pidgeotto and they go in to attack Caterpie, Ekans's Japanese voice is heard.
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub, several {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} words can be heard throughout the episode.

===Dub edits===
[[File:Misty Slap2.png|thumb|200px|right|The cut shot]]
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 3
* In the English version, Misty reads the episode title instead of Ash, while in the Japanese version, Ash reads the title.
** This is justified in that, in the dub at least, Ash is busy gloating over his caught {{p|Caterpie}}, and thus is unable to read the episode title like he usually does.
* In the scene before Misty tells him about the three things she hates, Ash complains about girls and their selfishness. In the dub, after she says that bugs are one of three things most disgusting things of the world, Ash asks her what the disgusting things are ''aside from herself''.
* When Caterpie is looking sad due to Misty telling him to stay in his Poké Ball, the katakana for "Ga~n" (a Japanese sound effect) moves across the screen. This was painted out for the dub.
* How Misty and Ash commented on Caterpie is different between the versions (mostly due to religious censorship). In the English version, Ash was mentioning how he loves Caterpie, and Misty sarcastically responds how it takes a worm to love a worm; whereas in the original version, Ash comments that he and Caterpie are the same kind of Heaven and Misty retorts that their Heaven is ''her'' Hell.
* When Misty is telling Ash that birds eat worms, there is a shot where she slaps him for putting his Pokémon in danger. This was cut from the dub.
** Oddly, the sound effect of the slap is kept in.
* While Ash tells Caterpie "Counter", some have taken this to mean the {{m|Counter|move}}, which Caterpie cannot learn. In the original, Ash merely told it to "counter strike".
* In the English version, the scenes where Ekans and Koffing each tackle Pidgeotto, knocking it out in the process, were slowed down, while in the Japanese version, they each tackle Pidgeotto in a fast pace.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United States|United States of America}}''' in 1998 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}}. Most English translations of Pokémon media are based in the United States and then further distributed in other English-speaking countries of the world.

==Pokémon games==
Most [[Pokémon games]] released in Japan are translated into English for the United States, although there are exceptions such as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|the WiiWare Mystery Dungeon games]]. All English-language games are exported to {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Australia}} and other countries (including those that do not have their own translation of the games, such as {{pmin|Latin America}} and {{pmin|Brazil}}). Event Pokémon are regularly released in the United States as well. Nintendo of America, [[Nintendo]]'s subsidiary in the United States, sometimes publishes Pokémon and Pokémon-related video games, but they handle the local distribution of all Pokémon video games available on Nintendo consoles. Nintendo of America is a major partner to [[The Pokémon Company International]]. With very few exceptions such as {{p|Pikachu}}, almost all Pokémon, character and location names are fully localized in the English language, and are referred to as such in English-language media including Bulbapedia itself.

All Pokémon games released on the Switch since [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] has bilingual (English/Spanish) packaging for its standard versions.

==Pokémon anime and movies==
The [[Pokémon anime]] debuted in {{wp|Broadcast syndication|syndication}} in the United States on September 7, 1998<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000425180626/http://toonzone.net/brian/eplists/pokemon.html ''Pokémon'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original April 25, 2000; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> with the sneak preview debut of ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', which helped launch Pokémon into a nationwide phenomenon that lasted until the early 2000s. All English-language dubs of the Pokémon anime were produced in the United States, first by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and later by [[The Pokémon Company International]]. Other animated productions, such as ''[[Pokémon Origins]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Generations]]'', are also dubbed in English in the United States either via TPCI or other studios. The live-action film, ''[[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Pokémon Detective Pikachu]]'', is a primarily American production.

While the [[Pokémon movie]]s are regularly released theatrically in Japan, only movies [[M01|one]] through [[M05|five]], the [[M13|13th movie]], the Zekrom variant of the [[M14|14th movie]], the [[M20|20th movie]], and the [[M21|21st movie]] (along with [[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Pokémon Detective Pikachu]]) have seen theatrical releases in the US; all other movies have premiered on television and released straight to video, DVD, or streaming.

===Kids' WB===
[[File:Kids WB logo.png|thumb|125px|Kids' WB logo used from 1997-2008]]
[[Warner Bros.#Kids' WB|Kids' WB]] (sometimes styled as Kids WB!) was an American children's television programming block and brand owned by {{wp|Warner Bros. Television}} that first aired on September 9, 1995, on {{wp|The WB|The WB Television Network}}<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-10-22-tv-59667-story.html ''WB Raises the Animation Ante'' - Los Angeles Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. On January 24, 2006 it was announced The WB and {{wp|CBS Corporation}}'s {{wp|UPN}} would merge to create {{wp|The CW}}<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/24/business/media/upn-and-wb-to-combine-forming-new-tv-network.html ''UPN and WB to Combine, Forming New TV Network'' - New York Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. When The WB closed on September 17 that year, the block moved to the new channel and it ran there from September 23, 2006 to May 17, 2008, at which time {{wp|Toonzai|The CW4Kids}} was launched to replace it. Kids' WB lived on as the name of a streaming service, until a rebranding on May 17, 2015.

After initially running in syndication for 43 episodes, the Pokémon anime moved to Kids' WB starting with ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' on February 13, 1999. The show proved to be a hit<ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/1999/05/06/pokemon-takes-em-all-show-posts-record-high-40-share-in-boys-6-11 ''Pokemon Takes 'Em All!'' - WarnerMedia] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>, and the block aired every (non-[[Banned episodes|banned]]) episode of the anime until the end of [[S08|season eight]]. During this time, [[Warner Bros.#Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros. Pictures]] also released the first three Pokémon movies in theatres (and later on home video) under the Kids' WB banner<ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/1999/11/10/first-day-of-release-of-pokemon-the-first-movie-buoyed-by-huge ''First Day of Release of Pokémon The First Movie Buoyed by Huge Showing of Kids'' - WarnerMedia] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/2000/03/02/kids-wb-presents-pokemon-the-movie-2000-opening-july-21 ''Kids WB!

Presents Pokémon 3 The Movie' '' - WarnerMedia] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. From July 2001 until June 2002, Kids' WB's weekday afternoon editions, which included Pokémon, were branded ''Toonami on Kids' WB''.

On January 22, 2005, Kids' WB was the first to air the English version of the seventh movie, [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]. It was also first to air the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary]] special, ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', on April 29, 2006, before it aired in Japan. This special was the first to be dubbed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] (then known as Pokémon USA), rather than [[4Kids Entertainment]], and the only such episode that would air on Kids' WB.

In 2006 it was announced that Kids WB would no longer be airing non-Warner Bros. shows. The Pokémon anime moved to [[Cartoon Network]] (then owned by {{wp|Turner Broadcasting System}}, a separate and now defunct division of parent company WarnerMedia), beginning on September 8, 2006<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20061004132738/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=12209 ''Press Release: New Season of "Pokémon" to Air Exclusively on Cartoon Network'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original October 4, 2006; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref name="KWBmove">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071017000426/http://toonzone.net/schedule/episode.php?ID=7209 ''Pokémon - Fear Factor Phony'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original October 17, 2007; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

===Cartoon Network===
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|200px|Cartoon Network logo since May 29, 2010]]
{{main|Cartoon Network}}
Cartoon Network is an American children's television network that was launched on October 1, 1992<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140204051028/https://articles.philly.com/1992-10-04/entertainment/25997256_1_betty-cohen-new-channels-cartoon-network ''That's All Cartoons, Folks - 24 Hours Daily'' - The Philadelphia Inquirer] (archived from the original February 4, 2014; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> after Turner Broadcasting System purchased the animation studio {{wp|Hanna-Barbera}}. Since its establishment, {{wp|List of international Cartoon Network channels|international variants}} of the channel have launched around the world. Since March 4, 2019, Cartoon Network has been part of ''Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics'', a division of [[Warner Bros.]]<ref>[https://variety.com/2019/biz/news/warner-bros-cartoon-network-hanna-barbera-1203154521/ ''Warner Bros. Wants to Rev Up Kid’s Content With Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera'' - Variety] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>

Cartoon Network first aired [[Pokémon Chronicles]] in the United States from June 3<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060619012012/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=10553 ''Cartoon Network Acquires "Pokemon" Series for June 3 Premiere'' - Toon Zone] (archived from the original June 19, 2006; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> to November 25, 2006, during its {{wp|Toonami}} block. Following the anime being dropped by Kids' WB, [[S09|Season nine]] premiered on Cartoon Network on September 8, 2006<ref name="KWBmove"/>. Cartoon Network had previously aired reruns of episodes from the anime's earlier seasons, such as [[S05|season five]], and almost every episode through [[S19|season 19]] aired on the channel at some point. On their website, Cartoon Network featured several [[Cartoon Network online games|online games]] featuring Pokémon characters.

Cartoon Network sparked controversy through its practice of replacing end credit sequences with their own generic ones. For the airing of movies this meant that epilogues were often skipped, and for the first airing of the [[M13|13th movie]] several scenes were omitted<ref>{{n|TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut|''TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

The show stayed with the network until the end of [[S19|season 19]] and on December 5, 2016, moved to [[Disney XD]].
[[File:Boomerang 2015.png|thumb|150px|Boomerang logo since January 19, 2015]]

====Boomerang====
:''Boomerang redirects here. For the move known as Bone Boomerang in Japanese, see [[Bonemerang (move)]].''
{{wp|Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang}} is a cable network owned by Warner Bros., operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network. Boomerang was launched as a block on Cartoon Network on December 8, 1992, shortly after the launch of the channel, and it was later spun off as its own network on April 1, 2000<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-01-ca-14752-story.html ''Hanna-Barbera Cartoons Return on New Boomerang'' - Los Angeles Times] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

Boomerang first started airing episodes of [[S01|season one]] the Pokémon anime in 2006, and again in March of 2010. As of October 2012, the channel had aired episodes from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' and prior to 2017, episodes were aired at 6 and 6:30 PM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (5 and 5:30 PM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}) on weekdays. During the anime's time on the network, Boomerang aired the [[banned episodes|banned]] episode ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''.

Pokémon anime reruns left the channel when the series left Cartoon Network for Disney XD, in February 2017.

====Toonami Jetstream====
[[File:Toonami Jetstream Logo.png|thumb|200px|Toonami Jetstream logo]]
Toonami Jetstream was an ad-supported streaming {{wp|video on demand}} service run as a partnership between Cartoon Network and [[VIZ Media]] between July 17, 2006 and January 30, 2009<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-01-31/toonami-jetstream-video-streaming-service-shuts-down ''Toonami Jetstream Video-Streaming Service Shuts Down'' - Anime News Network] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref><ref>{{n|Toonami Jetstream closes its doors|''Toonami Jetstream closes its doors'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

The [[S03|third season]] of the Pokémon anime debuted on the service on October 9, 2006 under the ''Johto Journeys'' banner, beginning with ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'' (as the service followed TV broadcast order), and finishing with ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' on October 1, 2007. [[Pokémon Chronicles]] also debuted on Jetstream on October 9, 2006, beginning with part one of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' and finishing with ''[[Pikachu's Winter Vacation]]'' (the ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]/[[PK03|Kanga Games]]'' combined episode) on March 5, 2007.

[[S04|Season four]] debuted on May 28, 2007 under the ''Johto League Champions'' banner, beginning with ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and finishing with ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'' on May 27, 2008. [[S05|Season five]] made its way to the service on June 16, 2008 under the ''Master Quest'' banner, starting with ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' and ending with ''[[240|Some Like It Hot]]'' on January 13, 2009.

[[S09|Season nine]] debuted on the service on November 17, 2008 under the ''Battle Frontier'' banner, starting with ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' and ending with ''[[AG154|Reversing the Charges]]'' on January 13, 2009.

Toonami Jetstream released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, which in most cases meant the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday). Like other shows, new Pokémon episodes in then-current seasons debuted every week and remained available for six weeks after they debuted on the service. The service also offered short previews of the movies ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' prior to their television debuts.

To celebrate the 2007 release of [[Pokémon Snap]] on the [[Virtual Console]], [[Pokémon.com]] announced that episodes featuring [[Todd Snap]] would be offered for one week later in December<ref>{{n|Pokémon Snap to launch Dec. 10 in Wii Shop Channel|''Pokémon Snap to launch Dec. 10 in Wii Shop Channel'' - Bulbanews}} (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>. The plan was later modified in favour of traditional weekly progression; his three Johto appearances appeared as part of the normal ''Johto League Champions'' progression, with his Kanto appearances appearing on January 14, 22 and 28, 2008. The Todd version of [[Todd Snap]]'s Kanto episodes were the ones used on Toonami Jetstream. This appeared to align with the {{wp|Retroactive continuity|retcon}} of making Snap the character's surname when Pokémon Snap was announced for the Virtual Console.

On January 20, 2009, Toonami Jetstream switched all available offerings with "top 10" lists from most of their at-the-time current shows, which for the Pokémon anime only included episodes from season five. On January 30, 2009, the service shut down completely, and on May 15, 2009, the anime launched on Cartoon Network Video.

====Cartoon Network Video====
[[File:Cartoon Network Video Logo.png|thumb|200px|Former Cartoon Network Video logo]]
Cartoon Network Video is a streaming {{wp|video on demand}} service owned and operated by Cartoon Network that is available via their website or apps. The service launched on September 22, 2006 and was originally a sister service to Toonami Jetstream. It became Cartoon Network's only VOD service upon Jetsteam's shutdown on January 30, 2009.

On May 15, 2009, [[S12|season 12]] of the anime launched on Cartoon Network Video beginning with ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' and ending with ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' on May 17, 2010. On December 14, 2009, 97 episodes from the first two seasons (including the entirety of [[S02|season two]]) were made available on the service.

On February 1, 2010, one episode from [[S03|season three]] (''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'') was added to the service. However, this addition may have been in error, as the episode was removed a few days later. Two months later, the entire third season was re-added but the episodes were not working for many users and they were once again taken down the following month.

Initially, Cartoon Network Video released episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday was a United States holiday, in which case the debut was often on a different day (such as the following Tuesday). Episodes were made available the Monday following their original dub airdates and remained on the service for two weeks. However, in subsequent years episodes were uploaded later than previously and remained available for only one week.

After a October 2009 revamp, the service began using a {{wp|16:9 aspect ratio|16:9 widescreen}} video player. Content originally produced in 16:9, including all anime episodes starting with ''[[DP126|Classroom Training]]'', were shown properly on this video player regardless of the aspect ratio the episode was aired in on the Cartoon Network channel, but content originally produced in {{wp|4:3 aspect ratio|4:3 fullscreen}}, such as Pokémon episodes from earlier seasons, were stretched to fill the frame.

As with Toonami Jetstream, the Todd versions of the episodes [[Todd Snap]] appears in were the ones used on Cartoon Network Video. Additionally, episodes that involved the [[Orange Archipelago]] in any way used the theme music from the televised airings, meaning {{so|Pokémon World}} was first used on ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', with [[Pokémon Theme]] used for the three episodes prior.

===Disney XD===
[[File:Disney XD Logo.png|thumb|200px|Disney XD logo since 2015]]
{{main|Disney XD}}
Disney XD is a cable channel owned and operated by {{wp|Disney Channels Worldwide}}, a subsidury of [[The Walt Disney Company]], that launched as a replacement for Toon Disney on February 13, 2009<ref name="XD Launch">[https://web.archive.org/web/20110616202259/http://www.multichannel.com/article/161701-Disney_XD_Unwraps_On_Friday_The_13_th.php ''Disney XD Unwraps On Friday The 13th'' - Multichannel News] (archived from the original June 16, 2011; retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref>.

Disney XD began airing [[season 20]] of the anime on December 5, 2016, with a marathon that included the episodes ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'' and ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'' along with the United States premiere of the movie ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.
New episodes aired on Saturday mornings at 9:00 AM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (8:00 AM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}) and the network has gone on to air [[S21|season 21]] and [[S22|22]]. The network has also aired movies [[M01|one]], [[M02|two]], [[M03|three]], and [[M16|16]] and premiered ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''.

Disney XD also carries the {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American}} Spanish dub through the {{wp|second audio program}} (SAP) channel (or a separate channel carrying the Spanish audio feed, depending on the provider).

On April 23, 2020 it was announced that [[S23|season 23]] of the anime would premiere exclusively on [[Netflix]], starting on June 12, 2020.<ref name="Netflix">[https://press.pokemon.com/THE-POKEMON-COMPANY-INTERNATIONAL-AND-NETFLIX-TEAM-UP-FOR-US-PREMIERE- ''The Pokémon Company International and Netflix Team Up For U.S. Premiere Of “Pokémon Journeys: The Series”'' - The Pokémon Company International] (retrieved May 19, 2020)</ref> However, reruns of Sun & Moon: Ultra Legends would continue even after the first batch of episodes were aired.

====Toon Disney====

==Pokémon manga==
[[VIZ Media]], based out of {{wp|San Francisco}}, {{wp|California}}, has licensed and translated several [[Pokémon manga]] titles in the United States, including [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], movie manga adaptations, and the popular [[Pokémon Adventures]] series.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
An English-language translation of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] has been sold in the United States since the release of [[Base Set (TCG)|Base Set]] in 1999, and continues to this day. Most English sets do not correspond exactly to the Japanese sets they are translated from; they often incorporate additional cards from Japanese promotions and theme decks. English-language cards are the most widely distributed worldwide; as with the games, they are exported to other English-speaking countries, but are also often sold alongside localized translations and in countries where no local translation exists. Currently, only English-language cards are tournament legal in the United States.

==Pokémon merchandise==
Pokémon merchandising has been handled by various distributors in the United States. When the franchise debuted, merchandising was handled by [[Hasbro]]. Originally, toys and merchandise were simply imported from Japan, but later Hasbro created their own toys and games for distribution in the US. In 2004, rights passed to [[Jakks Pacific]], which produced their own merchandise as well. As of January 2013, merchandise has been handled by [[Takara Tomy]] and largely imported from Japan. Unlike other Pokémon merchandise in the US, Tomy's merchandise has multilingual packaging shared with Europe that features seven Western languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch), including localized Pokémon and character names where applicable.

The United States is home to the only North American {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores, with one store operating in {{wp|New York City}}, {{wp|New York}} (now {{DL|Pokémon Center (store)|New York (Nintendo New York)|Nintendo New York}}) and two mall kiosks in {{wp|Washington (state)|Washington state}}. The Pokémon Center online store also currently only ships to the United States.


==Events==
{{bulbanews/4|Pokémon Rocks America 2005 dates and locations revealed|Americans to get chance to obtain Celebi|Pokémon anniversary party to be held in New York|U.S. Black and White promotional tour announced}}
Several promotional events have been held in the United States for Pokémon video games and other media. Many of these events included playable game demos, distribution of [[event Pokémon]], and other incentives such as promotional cards from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.

Promotional tours include the [[Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour]], the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Adventure Tour]], [[Pokémon Rocks America]], [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America]], and the [[Pokémon Black and White Sampling Tour]].

The [[World Championships]] have been held by [[Play! Pokémon]] (formerly Pokémon Organized Play) annually in the United States since 2004. So far, only one World Championship has been held outside of the United States, which was the [[2013 World Championships]] in Vancouver, British Columbia, {{pmin|Canada}}.

The [[Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions]] series of concerts has been touring the United States since 2014. The United States was the first country the concerts appeared in.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

When Ash hears of the nearby Charicific Valley, he is sure a quick trip would be just the thing to reignite his Charizard's flagging spirits. When they reach the valley, though, they find its dragon denizens anything but cordial. Judged weak, and denied entrance to the valley, Charizard is left more dejected than ever.

==Plot==
A fatigued {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} hike along a path, followed by a similarly fatigued {{TRT}}. [[Jessie]] contemplates abandoning the trio's quest to catch Pikachu, while [[James]] mentions how many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} Ash's friends have compared to them, using [[Ash's Charizard]] as an example. As they walk, Ash mentions that with {{AP|Pikachu}} and Charizard by his side, he could beat any opponent, but his friends mention that he uses Charizard excessively, making it unfair for opponents. The group overhears a faint echo, so {{an|Brock}} decides to respond. A woman calls over to them from atop a cliff and introduces herself as {{jo|Liza}}, the caretaker of the [[Charicific Valley]]. Liza knows that Ash has a {{p|Charizard}} by the scent on him and reveals that she knows about his [[EP131|win]] in [[Violet City]], before invite the group into the valley.

Liza calls out [[Charla]], a female Charizard that helps transport Liza, {{an|Misty}}, and Brock in a balloon. There isn't enough room for Ash, but Liza suggests for him to {{m|fly}} on his Charizard. Charla takes off as Ash asks how to ride, which stuns Liza that he never flew on Charizard. Ash summons his Charizard and requests a ride; it refuses at first, but Liza's taunt motivates Charizard to try. Ash and Pikachu hop on Charizard as it stomps and flies off, but it accidentally leaves them behind. After getting them back on, Charizard unsteadily and furiously flies with them onboard. Meanwhile, Liza mentions that the Charizard in the valley are wild, except for Charla. Ash and Charizard catch up, but Charla speeds forward, angering Charizard. Meanwhile, Team Rocket slides down a mountain hill towards the valley.

As Liza, Misty, and Brock reach the Charicific Valley, Liza mentions its history and how the Charizard train naturally without humans by battling each other, with the intense competition making them the strongest worldwide. Misty thinks that it would be too intense for Ash's Charizard, but Charizard tries to prove their strength. However, Charla and Liza note that only weak Charizard show off, suggesting it needs training. Charizard fires a {{m|Flamethrower}} to disprove this, but it briefly sets Ash on fire while he takes her comments as an insult. Ash demands to have a battle with Liza using Charla, but she mentions that she raised it since it was a {{p|Charmander}}. As a result, Ash and Charizard want to battle the ones in the valley, so Liza shows them all of the other Charizard, leaving them stunned at their larger size. One larger Charizard walks by and Liza points out that if Ash's Charizard can defeat it, it may qualify to join.

Charizard marches up behind it and hits it in the face with Flamethrower. However, the {{pkmn2|wild}} Charizard literally inhales the attack and retaliates with its own, leaving Ash's burnt, and it collapses. Charizard gets back up and shakes off the dust as Liza points to one sleeping, mentioning that despite it being larger than Ash's, it is still the gentlest of the Charizard. Charizard confronts that one and fires another Flamethrower, but the wild Charizard hardly reacts and simply lashes its tail, tossing Charizard into a wall. Ash tries to console Charizard, that it will always be good enough for him. Charizard refuses to listen and tries to attack again, but another lash from the gentle Charizard knocks it down. Despite the pleas of Ash and the others, Charizard persists but continues to get beaten, eventually getting out of the valley. Charizard struggles to climb up the stairs, but Liza kicks the whole group out of the valley and closes the gates, telling them to return after some training.

Team Rocket, watching from a distance, realizes that they cannot capture any of the Charizard in the valley because they were easily able to beat Ash's Charizard, who always beats them, while the mecha that they bought is inadequate. Meanwhile, after Charizard repeatedly beats the gates, Liza reopens them and repeats her instructions, but Charizard stubbornly refuses. Liza allows Charla to attack, and Charizard is tossed into a lake. Liza then tells Charizard to stay put and reflect before closing the gate. When night falls, Misty notes that Charizard has stayed in place since that afternoon. Ash wants to leave, but Charizard doesn't budge. Team Rocket watches as {{MTR}} translates Charizard's thoughts about wanting to be stronger. Throughout the night, Ash and his friends fall asleep, but Team Rocket tosses rocks at Charizard to keep it awake and prevent its flame from fading. Through the gates, Liza and Charla realize how determined Charizard is to get in.

The next morning, Ash wakes up and sees Charizard still sitting in place. Just then, [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]] shows up and rolls up to the gates, attempting to break in. Charizard confronts the mecha and hits it with Flamethrower, causing it to explode and send Team Rocket blasting off as planned. The gate opens, revealing an applauding Liza, who invites Charizard in, explaining that it finally proved that it wants to enter. Shocking his friends, Ash angrily tells Charizard it should stay in the valley if it wants to, and then adds that he doesn't want a weak Charizard anyway. Ash starts to walk away and points to the valley, telling Charizard that it has a lot to learn there. Then, Ash starts running away, followed by Misty and Brock. Pikachu briefly remains to bid Charizard farewell before following the group as well.

==Trivia==
* This was chosen by [[Shōko Nakagawa]] as the sixth episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]''.
* {{AP|Charizard}}'s tail is completely submerged in the water, but it was unharmed. This also happened when it was a {{p|Charmander}} in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 3: Charizard'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series.
* This is one of the few episodes where {{TRT}} actually ''wants'' to be blasted off. They help Charizard become stronger by allowing it to blow up a [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket mecha]] which they used to break into the [[Charicific Valley]].
* Team Rocket doesn't recite their {{motto}} in this episode.
** However, the motto theme is played when Team Rocket attacks the valley with their mecha.
* Not counting the Pokémon seen in [[James]]'s thoughts, the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in this episode is {{p|Togepi}}.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book {{book|All Fired Up}}.
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' was used in this episode.
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]'', and a different shot received the same treatment in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.

===Errors===
* In the English dub, {{Ash}} says that he has not ridden Charizard before; however, this is not true, as he rode on Charizard in both ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' and ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''. He never said this in the Japanese version.
** Technically, the moment in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' doesn't really count as Ash riding Charizard, as it wasn't intentional. Additionally, both Charizard and Ash were half-asleep from {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|sing}}ing, so they may not remember it.
* When James counts the Pokémon of {{ashfr|Ash's friends}}, a picture of all of them is shown. {{AP|Snorlax}} was also pictured, even though it was back at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] at the time.
* The initial dialogue between [[Liza]], {{an|Brock}}, and Ash was changed completely in the English dub; this included changing Liza from calling for Charizard in general to calling for [[Charla]]. This creates an error since multiple plumes of fire emerge from behind the mountains, which couldn't have been produced by one Charizard.
* In the English dub, Liza refers to {{an|Misty}} by her name despite nobody ever telling her that name. In the Japanese version, Liza never refers to Ash, Misty, and Brock by their name.
* When Team Rocket blasts off, their mouths move, but no sound comes out in the English dub.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pokémon Karaokémon]]: [[Song of Jigglypuff]]
* A closeup shot of Ash's Charizard being hit very hard by a {{pkmn2|wild}} Charizard and sent flying into the top part of the entrance to the Valley with its tail was cut and replaced with an impact animation.
* Charla being evolved from a {{p|Charmander}} was not present in the original Japanese dialogue.
* Several scenes of dialogue involving Team Rocket are changed in the English dub:
** In the Japanese version, Jessie [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by telling {{MTR}} their problem is that they are going up against the increasingly popular {{AP|Pikachu}}. Meowth denies this by saying that their lack of strength, not popularity, is their problem. The dub changes this to Jessie suggesting that they should pick on somebody else for a change.
** In the Japanese version, James counts the Pokémon of Ash's friends but trails off by the time he reaches number seven. In the dub, he doesn't trail off and stops at twelve, which is wrong as, counting Snorlax, there are a total of sixteen Pokémon.
** In the Japanese version, Team Rocket once again breaks the fourth wall by talking about how popular Charizard is and how it's just too powerful for them to defeat. They gather together at the end and declare Charizard "unfair". The dub changes this to them wondering what the boss would say if he knew how afraid they are of Charizard.
* Several scenes of dialogue involving Liza are also changed in the English dub:
** In the Japanese version, Liza says that the Charizard in the Valley are seen as the guardian deities of the area. The dub changes this to Liza saying that it was "a place where Charizard have lived in peace for thousands of years" and an "ancient place where the greatest Charizard in Pokémon history have come from". Later, Liza says that "the Charizard in the Valley turn out to be the best in the whole world", which was also never said in the Japanese version.
** While Liza just warns Ash that shooting out fire randomly is dangerous and could get him burned in the Japanese version, she instead states "only weak Charizard show off like that" in the dub.
** In the dub, Liza tells Ash that "she can't be responsible for what happens if Charizard continues to fight", while in the Japanese version, she tells that "she understands how Ash's Pokémon feel but that it really is no use for it to continue like that".
** In the dub, Liza says to Ash's Charizard that "he will never be a great Charizard if he acts tough and doesn't respect his own limitations". However, in the Japanese version, Liza tells Ash that Charizard will be okay as long as the flame on his tail doesn't go out, which is the reason a lot of closeup shots happen throughout the rest of the episode.
* In the Japanese version, James never said that the mecha was purchased online.

'''Lisa''' (Japanese: '''リン''' ''Rin'') is a supporting character who appeared in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. She is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who challenged {{Ash}} to a [[Full Battle]].

==History==
While {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were traveling, they encountered Lisa, who challenged Ash to a [[Full Battle]]. Ultimately, Lisa's {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Butterfree}} defeated [[Ash's Chikorita]] and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}; his {{AP|Totodile}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, and {{AP|Cyndaquil}} defeated her {{p|Granbull}}, {{p|Aipom}}, and {{p|Mankey}}, respectively; and [[Ash's Pikachu]] and her {{p|Quagsire}} came to a draw, thus giving Ash the win.

Afterwards, she and her Pokémon had lunch with the group. Upon learning the group was looking for a [[Pokémon Center]], Lisa escorted them to the nearby [[Greenfield]]. However, upon arriving, they realized the area had been turned into a crystal wasteland that was still spreading. {{an|Professor Oak}} and {{Delia|Ash's mother}} soon arrived to investigate the phenomenon, including the disappearance of their mutual friend [[Spencer Hale]].

Following Delia's kidnapping by an {{OBP|Entei|M03}}, Ash and his friends went against Oak's orders and rushed to the epicenter of the event, the Hale mansion. In support of Ash, Lisa gave Ash her [[Pokégear]] to coordinate the rescue mission and then remained at the Pokémon Center with Oak and [[Schuyler]].

After the crisis was resolved, Lisa waved goodbye to the group and left to continue her journey.

==Character==
Lisa is amiable, easygoing, and enjoys a challenge. She also looks out for her friends, like when she gave Ash her [[Pokégear]] to avoid having him rush into things without any help.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Lisa's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

It proved to be extremely agile and graceful, using its tail as both a trapeze and a weapon in battle. However, this agility proved no match for [[Ash's Noctowl]], who attacked it relentlessly and knocked it out with {{m|Tackle}}.

None of Aipom's moves are known.}}

It completely shook off {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{t|Electric}} attacks, and met his physical ones with blows of its own. It then blew Pikachu away with Water Gun, but when Pikachu used the swing set momentum to propel himself into a falling {{m|Tackle}}, both Pokémon were knocked out, resulting in a draw and giving Ash three wins to Lisa's two.

Quagsire's only known move is {{m|Water Gun}}.}}

'''Dr. Namba''' (Japanese: '''ナンバ博士''' ''Dr. Namba'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is one of the [[Team Rocket scientists]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
Dr. Namba first appeared in the {{p|Lugia}} saga that focused on catching {{jo|Silver}} and its parent. As such, he was the main antagonist of the arc.

Inside an underwater Team Rocket laboratory, Dr. Namba had some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s go to the area to spy on Lugia and report back the details of its whereabouts. The grunts did so and Dr. Namba dispatched a submarine in order to catch it. In the meantime, he had [[Butch]], [[Cassidy]] and some other grunts to fire nets at it but {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} foiled Butch and Cassidy's plans while [[Oliver]]'s {{p|Lanturn}} forced the grunts to retreat. Dr. Namba was then given the report by Butch and Cassidy. Afterwards, Dr. Namba wanted the duo to go get something.

After Butch and Cassidy successfully got Silver, the child Lugia, it was given to Dr. Namba who proudly stood in front of it. Butch and Cassidy arrived and discussed with Dr. Namba about a plan using Silver as a decoy to capture the parent Lugia. Dr. Namba agreed with them as he found this a scheme that was easy to execute. As the parent Lugia went on a rampage after finding out what happened to the child, Dr. Namba monitored it on the screen.

Dr. Namba gave Butch and Cassidy both a "Rage Crown" to increase their Pokémon's strength drastically. After the storm stopped, he brought out Silver who was still caged. Dr. Namba watched on as the parent Lugia went to it. As Ash and the gang failed to stop Butch and Cassidy, and the parent Lugia from going to its child, Dr. Namba successfully managed to get both Lugia, as it was a trap.

With both Lugia caught, Dr. Namba caged Ash and the gang inside the lab. Dr. Namba explained his plan to them which concerned the Rage Crown being part of his little experiment of amplifying energy, as well as manipulation. He decided to try the Rage Crown on both [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky]]. However, before he could do so, Oliver came in and freed Ash and his friends. Dr. Namba then got tackled by Ash. However, before they could get away, Dr. Namba activated the alarm which summoned all of the members of Team Rocket present.

As all of the grunts were subdued by Ash and Ritchie, Dr. Namba prevented the group from freeing the Lugia and sent out his {{p|Electabuzz}} to battle them. Ash and Ritchie used their Pikachu to take care of Electabuzz as Electabuzz was wearing the Rage Crown. During the battle, Ash noticed the Rage Crown's weakness which was the controller Dr. Namba was holding. Sparky went to Dr. Namba and destroyed the controller with its electricity. With Electabuzz powerless, both Pikachu finished it off and Electabuzz landed on Dr. Namba. After an explosion happened in the lab, Dr. Namba was seen holding on to a piece of debris on the ocean.

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In the Japanese version of Dr. Namba appearances on Pokémon Chronicles, Namba demanded that Butch and Cassidy capture rare Pokémon for something he calls the 'R Project', and as such, served as a recurring antagonist alongside the duo.

In ''[[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]'', Dr. Namba informed them in a recording to apprehend a {{p|Delcatty}} belonging to a [[Georgio|young Trainer]] who lived somewhere in Cerulean City. In ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', he wanted Butch and Cassidy to capture a pair of {{p|Luvdisc}}, [[nickname]]d [[Caserin and Luverin]], who resided at the [[Cerulean Gym]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
Dr. Namba was mentioned in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' where a Team Rocket Grunt told Butch and Cassidy that he had a very important assignment for them.

He briefly appeared in ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch!]]'' where he corrected Cassidy when she got his name wrong via phone.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Dr. Namba appeared in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'' where he assigned Butch and Cassidy to capture a {{p|Hippowdon}} so that he could research the sand from it.

===Character===
Dr. Namba has often given [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] their mission briefings (though this was primarily as a vocal role, except for ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]''). Like Butch, people often get his name wrong. For example, Team Rocket referred to Dr. Namba as "Dr. Number" in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'' and Cassidy called him "Dr. Samba" in ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch!]]''. Dr. Namba is full of pride and has a short temper, and is very intelligent, cunning, creative, technologically capable and a skilled Pokémon Trainer. He is also extremely power-hungry, megalomaniacal, prejudiced, cruel, authoritative, ruthless, and violent.

Dr. Namba is known for researching Pokémon strength augmentation, the [[Pokérus]] virus, {{p|Hippowdon}}'s sand, and the Rage Crown (a device that attaches to a Pokémon's head and stimulates the areas of the brain involved in aggression, increasing its power and causing it to enter into a state of fury).

When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, including [[Ritchie]] and [[Oliver]], were on the run in [[Team Rocket]]'s underwater base, they discovered where Namba was keeping {{jo|Silver}} and were about to free it until Namba appeared and sent out Electabuzz.

It had a headgear on its head which made it angry, thus making it more powerful. Electabuzz used an enraged {{m|Thunder Punch}} to try to faint [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sparky]], but they dodged it. Pikachu tried to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on its headgear, but it blocked the headgear with {{m|Light Screen}}, and Namba started to make Electabuzz even more angry with the controls he was holding. Pikachu and Sparky continued to fight until Sparky broke the controls, also disabling the headgear. They finished Electabuzz off with a double {{m|Thunder}} attack, fainting it.

Electabuzz's known moves are {{m|Thunder Punch}}, {{m|Light Screen}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.}}

'''Casey's Meganium''' (Japanese: '''ナナコのメガニウム''' ''Nanako's Meganium'') is {{an|Casey}}'s {{pkmn2|starter|first}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She obtained it as a Chikorita the day before {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} arrived at [[Professor Elm]]'s lab.

==History==
[[File:Casey Chikorita.png|left|200px|thumb|As a Chikorita]]
===[[Original series]]===
Casey first appeared with her Chikorita in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''. It had just helped her to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{p|Rattata}} when she met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. She challenged Ash to a [[Pokémon battle]]. Ash defeated all three of her Pokémon including Chikorita with his {{AP|Charizard}}. Later, Casey used Chikorita again to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] and, thanks to the [[type]] advantage, Chikorita was able to resist {{type|Electric}} attacks. The battle ended without a winner being declared, however, because {{TRT}} attacked both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s during the match and captured all of the Pokémon. In the end, Chikorita joined {{p|Pidgey}}, Rattata, and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} to send Team Rocket blasting off.

Chikorita reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''.
[[File:Casey Bayleef.png|left|200px|thumb|As a Bayleef]]
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Chikorita was used during the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], despite having a disadvantage in the competition. Throughout the episode, Casey pushed Chikorita too hard and failed to notice when it became too tired to continue battling, forcing Ash, Misty, and Brock to call her out for this. When they were attacked by {{TRT}}, Casey used her Chikorita again, and during the battle, it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Bayleef}} and sent Team Rocket blasting off. Despite everything, Casey and Bayleef were unable to win the competition.

When Ash and {{ashfr}} met up with Casey again in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]'', her Bayleef was now fully evolved into a {{p|Meganium}}. During the search for [[Ash's Larvitar]], Meganium was one of the Pokémon affected by the power of [[James]]'s newly acquired {{p|Weepinbell}}. Casey used Meganium to defeat [[Jessie's Arbok]], but despite its efforts, it was no match for [[Jessie]]'s Pokémon. Later, Casey used Meganium in a battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Elekid}}. Although Elekid was powerful, it was defeated by Meganium, allowing Casey to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it.

===[[Pokémon Chronicles]]===
[[File:Casey and Meganium.png|thumb|180px|Meganium and Casey]]
In ''[[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]'', Meganium was beside Casey as she was trying to find out about a mysterious note that Misty received. Later, Meganium was used alongside [[Misty's Corsola]] in a [[Tag Battle]] against [[Butch]]'s {{p|Mightyena}} and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Sableye}}. Meganium and {{p|Corsola}} proved to be very powerful and easily defeated their opponents.

In ''[[HS17|Those Darn Electabuzz!]]'', Meganium joined [[Casey's Beedrill]] and {{p|Elekid}} to stop a runaway {{p|Charizard}} from advancing. Despite their strength, the trio couldn't keep the {{type|Fire}} Pokémon from away. Meganium later appeared with the other Pokémon to cheer on and help train [[Corey Demario]]'s own Pokémon.

==Personality and characteristics==
Meganium shares a close bond with Casey, often being seen outside of its Poké Ball. It appears to share Casey's fighting spirit and enjoys her renditions of the Electabuzz fight song. Meganium is also a fierce battler, evolving into a Bayleef just so that it could help Casey during the Bug-Catching Contest.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

When Ash hears of the nearby Charicific Valley, he is sure a quick trip would be just the thing to reignite his Charizard's flagging spirits. When they reach the valley, though, they find its dragon denizens anything but cordial. Judged weak, and denied entrance to the valley, Charizard is left more dejected than ever.

==Plot==
A fatigued {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} hike along a path, followed by a similarly fatigued {{TRT}}. [[Jessie]] contemplates abandoning the trio's quest to catch Pikachu, while [[James]] mentions how many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} Ash's friends have compared to them, using [[Ash's Charizard]] as an example. As they walk, Ash mentions that with {{AP|Pikachu}} and Charizard by his side, he could beat any opponent, but his friends mention that he uses Charizard excessively, making it unfair for opponents. The group overhears a faint echo, so {{an|Brock}} decides to respond. A woman calls over to them from atop a cliff and introduces herself as {{jo|Liza}}, the caretaker of the [[Charicific Valley]]. Liza knows that Ash has a {{p|Charizard}} by the scent on him and reveals that she knows about his [[EP131|win]] in [[Violet City]], before invite the group into the valley.

Liza calls out [[Charla]], a female Charizard that helps transport Liza, {{an|Misty}}, and Brock in a balloon. There isn't enough room for Ash, but Liza suggests for him to {{m|fly}} on his Charizard. Charla takes off as Ash asks how to ride, which stuns Liza that he never flew on Charizard. Ash summons his Charizard and requests a ride; it refuses at first, but Liza's taunt motivates Charizard to try. Ash and Pikachu hop on Charizard as it stomps and flies off, but it accidentally leaves them behind. After getting them back on, Charizard unsteadily and furiously flies with them onboard. Meanwhile, Liza mentions that the Charizard in the valley are wild, except for Charla. Ash and Charizard catch up, but Charla speeds forward, angering Charizard. Meanwhile, Team Rocket slides down a mountain hill towards the valley.

As Liza, Misty, and Brock reach the Charicific Valley, Liza mentions its history and how the Charizard train naturally without humans by battling each other, with the intense competition making them the strongest worldwide. Misty thinks that it would be too intense for Ash's Charizard, but Charizard tries to prove their strength. However, Charla and Liza note that only weak Charizard show off, suggesting it needs training. Charizard fires a {{m|Flamethrower}} to disprove this, but it briefly sets Ash on fire while he takes her comments as an insult. Ash demands to have a battle with Liza using Charla, but she mentions that she raised it since it was a {{p|Charmander}}. As a result, Ash and Charizard want to battle the ones in the valley, so Liza shows them all of the other Charizard, leaving them stunned at their larger size. One larger Charizard walks by and Liza points out that if Ash's Charizard can defeat it, it may qualify to join.

Charizard marches up behind it and hits it in the face with Flamethrower. However, the {{pkmn2|wild}} Charizard literally inhales the attack and retaliates with its own, leaving Ash's burnt, and it collapses. Charizard gets back up and shakes off the dust as Liza points to one sleeping, mentioning that despite it being larger than Ash's, it is still the gentlest of the Charizard. Charizard confronts that one and fires another Flamethrower, but the wild Charizard hardly reacts and simply lashes its tail, tossing Charizard into a wall. Ash tries to console Charizard, that it will always be good enough for him. Charizard refuses to listen and tries to attack again, but another lash from the gentle Charizard knocks it down. Despite the pleas of Ash and the others, Charizard persists but continues to get beaten, eventually getting out of the valley. Charizard struggles to climb up the stairs, but Liza kicks the whole group out of the valley and closes the gates, telling them to return after some training.

Team Rocket, watching from a distance, realizes that they cannot capture any of the Charizard in the valley because they were easily able to beat Ash's Charizard, who always beats them, while the mecha that they bought is inadequate. Meanwhile, after Charizard repeatedly beats the gates, Liza reopens them and repeats her instructions, but Charizard stubbornly refuses. Liza allows Charla to attack, and Charizard is tossed into a lake. Liza then tells Charizard to stay put and reflect before closing the gate. When night falls, Misty notes that Charizard has stayed in place since that afternoon. Ash wants to leave, but Charizard doesn't budge. Team Rocket watches as {{MTR}} translates Charizard's thoughts about wanting to be stronger. Throughout the night, Ash and his friends fall asleep, but Team Rocket tosses rocks at Charizard to keep it awake and prevent its flame from fading. Through the gates, Liza and Charla realize how determined Charizard is to get in.

The next morning, Ash wakes up and sees Charizard still sitting in place. Just then, [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]] shows up and rolls up to the gates, attempting to break in. Charizard confronts the mecha and hits it with Flamethrower, causing it to explode and send Team Rocket blasting off as planned. The gate opens, revealing an applauding Liza, who invites Charizard in, explaining that it finally proved that it wants to enter. Shocking his friends, Ash angrily tells Charizard it should stay in the valley if it wants to, and then adds that he doesn't want a weak Charizard anyway. Ash starts to walk away and points to the valley, telling Charizard that it has a lot to learn there. Then, Ash starts running away, followed by Misty and Brock. Pikachu briefly remains to bid Charizard farewell before following the group as well.

==Trivia==
* This was chosen by [[Shōko Nakagawa]] as the sixth episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]''.
* {{AP|Charizard}}'s tail is completely submerged in the water, but it was unharmed. This also happened when it was a {{p|Charmander}} in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 3: Charizard'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series.
* This is one of the few episodes where {{TRT}} actually ''wants'' to be blasted off. They help Charizard become stronger by allowing it to blow up a [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket mecha]] which they used to break into the [[Charicific Valley]].
* Team Rocket doesn't recite their {{motto}} in this episode.
** However, the motto theme is played when Team Rocket attacks the valley with their mecha.
* Not counting the Pokémon seen in [[James]]'s thoughts, the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in this episode is {{p|Togepi}}.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book {{book|All Fired Up}}.
* Music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' was used in this episode.
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.
* A shot this episode was reanimated and reused in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.

===Errors===
* In the English dub, {{Ash}} says that he has not ridden Charizard before; however, this is not true, as he rode on Charizard in both ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' and ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''. He never said this in the Japanese version.
** Technically, the moment in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' doesn't really count as Ash riding Charizard, as it wasn't intentional. Additionally, both Charizard and Ash were half-asleep from {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|sing}}ing, so they may not remember it.
* When James counts the Pokémon of {{ashfr|Ash's friends}}, a picture of all of them is shown. {{AP|Snorlax}} was also pictured, even though it was back at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] at the time.
* The initial dialogue between [[Liza]], {{an|Brock}}, and Ash was changed completely in the English dub; this included changing Liza from calling for Charizard in general to calling for [[Charla]]. This creates an error since multiple plumes of fire emerge from behind the mountains, which couldn't have been produced by one Charizard.
* In the English dub, Liza refers to {{an|Misty}} by her name despite nobody ever telling her that name. In the Japanese version, Liza never refers to Ash, Misty, and Brock by their name.
* When Team Rocket blasts off, their mouths move, but no sound comes out in the English dub.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pokémon Karaokémon]]: [[Song of Jigglypuff]]
* A closeup shot of Ash's Charizard being hit very hard by a {{pkmn2|wild}} Charizard and sent flying into the top part of the entrance to the Valley with its tail; it was cut and replaced with an impact animation.
* Charla being evolved from a {{p|Charmander}} was not present in the original Japanese dialogue.
* Several scenes of dialogue involving Team Rocket are changed in the English dub:
** In the Japanese version, Jessie [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by telling {{MTR}} their problem is that they are going up against the increasingly popular {{AP|Pikachu}}. Meowth denies this by saying that their lack of strength, not popularity, is their problem. The dub changes this to Jessie suggesting that they should pick on somebody else for a change.
** In the Japanese version, James counts the Pokémon of Ash's friends but trails off by the time he reaches number seven. In the dub, he doesn't trail off and stops at twelve, which is wrong as, counting Snorlax, there are a total of sixteen Pokémon.
** In the Japanese version, Team Rocket once again breaks the fourth wall by talking about how popular Charizard is and how it's just too powerful for them to defeat. They gather together at the end and declare Charizard "unfair". The dub changes this to them wondering what the boss would say if he knew how afraid they are of Charizard.
* Several scenes of dialogue involving Liza are also changed in the English dub:
** In the Japanese version, Liza says that the Charizard in the Valley are seen as the guardian deities of the area. The dub changes this to Liza saying that it was "a place where Charizard have lived in peace for thousands of years" and an "ancient place where the greatest Charizard in Pokémon history have come from". Later, Liza says that "the Charizard in the Valley turn out to be the best in the whole world", which was also never said in the Japanese version.
** While in the Japanese version, she just warns Ash that shooting out fire randomly is dangerous and could get him burned, she instead states "only weak Charizard show off like that".
** In the dub, Liza tells Ash that "she can't be responsible for what happens if Charizard continues to fight", while in the Japanese version, she tells that "she understands how Ash's Pokémon feel but that it really is no use for it to continue like that".
** In the dub, Liza says to Ash's Charizard that "he will never be a great Charizard if he acts tough and doesn't respect his own limitations". However, in the Japanese version, Liza tells Ash that Charizard will be okay as long as the flame on his tail doesn't go out, which is the reason a lot of closeup shots happen throughout the rest of the episode.
* In the Japanese version, James never said that the mecha was purchased online.

'''Pikachu & Pichu''' (Japanese: '''ピチューとピカチュウ''' ''Pichu and Pikachu'') is the seventh [[Pikachu short]]. It debuted in Japanese theaters on July 8, 2000, and then made its way to North American theaters on April 6, 2001.

''Pikachu & Pichu'' was shown with the [[Pokémon movie]] ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''.

==Blurb==

While visiting a big city with Ash, Pikachu meets the Pichu Brothers—Pichu Little, the rambunctious younger half, and Pichu Big, the reserved older half. Pikachu does its best to keep Pichu Little from falling off a building, but it ends up falling off itself! The adventures continue as Pikachu and the Pichu Brothers roll off the top of a bus, fall into a river, and then fly into the air and onto the back of a Houndour! With the angry Houndour in hot pursuit, the trio makes its way to a pile of tires that serves as a “secret fort.” All the hustle and bustle, though, sends the fort tumbling down. With the help of some Pokémon, the group works together to rebuild the fort—but Pikachu remembers that it has to get back to Ash. The Pichu Brothers whisk Pikachu away and head for the building where Ash is waiting, but will they manage to get there in time?

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
While visiting a [[Big Town|city]] in [[Johto]], {{AP|Pikachu}} meets a pair of young, mischievous [[Pichu Brothers]]. Pikachu manages to prevent one from falling off a building, only to end up being attacked by a flock of {{p|Murkrow}} for perching on a flagpole. Pikachu ends up hanging above the city block on a rope, which a Murkrow loosens, sending poor Pikachu flying through the air, air walking across a flock of {{p|Hoppip}} and lands on a window cleaner's bench, sending the window cleaner, {{MTR}}, slamming into a billboard. Pikachu befriends the Pichu Brothers who he believes are helping him return to his friends but they instead take him across the city.

The trio get into some trouble which include rolling off the top of a bus, into a river, where they are nearly run down by a ferry, and are pursued across the city by an angry {{p|Houndour}}. They escape Houndour and find the Pichu Brother's playhouse, which appears to have been handmade by the brothers and their large number of friends. The clock tower in the distance chimes five o'clock, Pikachu realizes that {{Ash}} mentioned that he and his friends would return for their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by six o'clock, and tries to leave. Houndour appears and chases the trio, seemingly nearly toppling over the playhouse. Houndour is buried by tires but Pikachu and the Pichu Brothers save him.

Together, they and the brothers' friends straighten and rebuild the playhouse. However, time is nearly up for Pikachu, so he and the brothers hitch a ride in a tire and race back to the building where Pikachu must meet Ash. They hit Meowth on the way, who goes flying back into his window cleaner bench. Pikachu returns to the building and bids farewell to the Pichu Brothers. Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} arrive and lead the Pokémon into a room full of food. Ash tells Pikachu it has been a full year since [[EP001|they met]] in [[Pallet Town]], and this party is to celebrate that. Overjoyed at this celebration, Pikachu leaps into Ash's arms in a big hug. The Pokémon start eating, and Ash allows Pikachu to wear [[Ash's hat|his hat]] for the night. The [[narrator]] concludes the short by noting that Ash and the Pichu Brothers have something in common: neither will ever forget the day they first met Pikachu.

==Major events==

==Trivia==
* The Japanese narrator of the short, Sakai Noriko, was arrested in 2009 and later convicted of possession and abuse of drugs. As a result, the short was [[Banned episodes|banned]] in Japan, and it hasn't seen a rerun or a release on home video or VOD in Japan since then. As such, it was the only theatrical [[Pikachu short]] to be excluded from the ''Pikachu The Movie Premium Box: 1998-2010''.<ref>http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/pm_lord_unknown_tower_entei/lord_unknown_tower_entei_sakai_noriko.html</ref>
* In the {{pmin|Iceland}}ic sub, when {{p|Voltorb}} accidentally says {{p|Electrode}}, it is translated into Elektróða.

===Errors===
* Voltorb says "Electrode" instead of "Voltorb" when appearing for the first time.

'''The Evolution Solution''' (Japanese: '''ヤドンがヤドランになるとき''' ''When {{tt|Yadon|Slowpoke}} Becomes {{tt|Yadoran|Slowbro}}'') is the 66th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 15, 1998 and in the United States on October 2, 1999.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash decides to join his mom and friends who are vacationing on Seafoam Island. While there, he searches out the programmer of the Pokedex to get information about the evolution of a Slowpoke. The mystery of how Slowpoke evolves into a Slowbro is surprisingly revealed when Team Rocket makes their usual bumbling interference.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} is surprised to learn that his mother {{Delia}}, some of [[Pallet Town]]'s locals, and {{ashfr}} are going to go to {{an|Seafoam Island}} for a beachside holiday. Delia tells Ash that he has to stay behind to train, just as the tour group leaves shortly after. Ash goes to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab, only to discover that Oak is trying to find out why {{p|Slowpoke}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Slowbro}}. When Ash suggests that he use the [[Pokédex]] to search for answers, Oak is instantly reminded of [[Professor Westwood V]], a Pokéologist and the original creator of the [[Pokédex]] who would know the answer. He conveniently lives of Seafoam Island, so Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} quickly decide to assist, capitalizing on an excuse to go to the beach.

Ash arrives and surprises {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}. They walk to Westwood's lab, where they discover that he is actually the fifth of many Westwoods, and insists on being called that. He is also trying to figure out the mystery of Slowpoke and {{p|Shellder}}, and hopes to present a theory to the world's leading body of Pokéologists, the Pokémon Suppositum. Westwood V goes outside to fish, trying to understand Slowpoke. As Ash and his friends find a Slowpoke sitting next to them, {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} comes out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and talks to the Slowpoke. After what seems to be some random, unintelligent conversation, a {{p|Krabby}} comes out the water. It first grabs onto Slowpoke's tail, and then Psyduck's, which the two register several seconds later. The team decides to go have some lunch for a break.

Meanwhile, {{an|Giovanni|Team Rocket's Boss}} is taking a vacation on the beach to rest and recover from the stress of having {{an|Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket's headquarters}} [[EP065|destroyed]] and making [[Jessie]] and [[James]] dig for clams, having already cleaned his private yacht. Upset that they cannot take a break, James digs up a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Shellder}} and decides to try to capture it. James calls out {{TP|James|Weezing}}, who, after dodging Shellder's {{m|Ice Beam}}, defeats it with {{m|Haze}}. However, just as James attempts to capture the Shellder, Jessie butts in and captures it herself, much to James's disappointment. They go to the Boss, but he disapproves of their capture and orders them to steal potentially invaluable information from Westwood V's lab.

Westwood V shows Ash and his friends a computer simulation of Slowpoke's evolution, and notes the form change Shellder undergoes when it clamps on to Slowpoke's tail. {{TRT}} arrives in a parasail and startles everyone when it crash-lands on the lab's balcony. After performing their {{motto}}, they hand Westwood V a paper with their own "Team Rockédex" entries about themselves. Westwood V is instantly impressed by {{MTR}}'s speech and starts writing notes. He then realizes that Team Rocket may be trying to enslave him and tries to escape. The trio finds that the only Pokémon Westwood V has is a Slowpoke, and decide to use their new Shellder to make Slowpoke evolve into Slowbro and thus make it more valuable.

Westwood V tries to flee with his Slowpoke, but after tripping, Team Rocket catches up and sends out Shellder. To everyone's surprise, Slowpoke, regarded as the Dopey Pokémon, runs around in an attempt to flee from Shellder. Misty decides to intervene with the seaside location perfect for her {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but Psyduck emerges. Psyduck turns around and Shellder {{m|clamp}}s onto its tail instead. After a delayed pain reaction, Psyduck throws Shellder off, sending the Pokémon flying. Weezing attempts to knock Psyduck out, but only bounces on its head. Infuriated, Jessie throws Shellder again, but it clamps onto Psyduck's head this time, giving it a major headache. Psyduck, now much more powerful because of its headache, uses {{m|Disable}} to stop everyone and its {{m|Confusion}} sends Team Rocket flying. It suddenly loses concentration, however, both Team Rocket and Shellder land close by. As Slowpoke walks towards Psyduck to thank it, it trips and Shellder clamps onto its tail, evolving it. Team Rocket runs back to grab Slowbro, but Westwood V orders Slowbro to attack them with {{m|Mega Punch}}. Although Slowbro temporarily forgets the attack due to {{m|Amnesia}}, it quickly regains it and sends Team Rocket blasting off once again.

Misty asks if Westwood V figured out why Slowpoke evolves. He answers confidently, with a brand-new theory, that {{wp|Mutualism (biology)|both Pokémon benefit}}. He explains that Shellder helps Slowpoke to balance on two legs instead of four, freeing its hands so it can use Mega Punch, and Shellder gains land transportation on Slowpoke's tail. As the group leaves, Ash thinks Psyduck may want to say goodbye to Slowbro. Misty, Ash, and Brock watch on as the two Pokémon have a rather slow conversation.

* This episode was partially adapted into the book [[Prepare for Trouble]].

* When {{p|Slowbro}} uses {{m|Amnesia}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are stunned, and {{an|Brock}} says, "That's supposed to make its opponents forget!" This is untrue, since Amnesia only affects the user in the {{pkmn|games}}.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[My Best Friends]]
* The setting of the episode is said to be {{an|Seafoam Island}} in the dub, a reference to the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the games. In the Japanese version, this location is named Binnes (ビンヌ), a reference to {{wp|Cannes}}, with no relation to the game location.
* [[Professor Westwood V]] is outright said to have programmed the [[Pokédex]] in the dub, when he was simply one of the people to write the device's bestiary in the Japanese version.
* [[James]] tells {{TP|James|Weezing}} to use {{m|Haze}} in the dub. In the original, it was told to counterattack.

'''Ash Catches a Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンゲットだぜ！''' ''I Caught a Pokémon!'') is the third episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 15, 1997 and in United States on September 10, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==


Ash discovers and catches a Caterpie—his first Pokémon capture! Though Ash is excited, Misty is grossed out by Bug-type Pokémon, so she is repulsed by its attempts to be friends with her. At night, as Ash and Misty sleep, Caterpie shares with Pikachu its dream of evolving into a Butterfree.

The next day, Ash is able to capture a Pidgeotto after battling it with Pikachu. Before Ash can celebrate too wildly, Misty reminds him that his success is due more to luck than skill.

Team Rocket shows up to steal Pikachu—they realize that there's really something special about this Pokémon—and Ash vows to defend himself. Pikachu and Pidgeotto are weakened by Koffing and Ekans, so he reluctantly sends out Caterpie. To the surprise of Jessie and James—not to mention Ash—Caterpie's String Shot is able to defeat the Team Rocket Pokémon, including Meowth!

When Misty tries to make nice with Caterpie, it evolves into a Metapod. Could a Butterfree Evolution be far behind?

==Plot==
Picking up right where the [[EP002|previous episode]] left off, {{Ash}} throws his {{i|Poké Ball}} at a {{p|Caterpie}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. It attempts to break free but is unsuccessful. Ash celebrates catching {{AP|his first Pokémon|Caterpie}}, holding the Poké Ball and running in circles out of joy. When Ash holds the Poké Ball closer to {{an|Misty}}'s face, she reveals that she has a fear of {{t|bug}}s, even if they are contained in a Poké Ball. Pikachu is happy to have Caterpie along, and Ash decides to bring Caterpie out, scaring Misty away. Caterpie wants to make friends with Misty, but she prefers Pikachu. Ash is offended by Misty's discomfort and complaints, which hurt Caterpie's feelings. Ash reassures Caterpie and continues traveling without Misty. Misty, however, has other plans, as she is still upset about her ruined [[bicycle]] and wants Ash to replace it. Because of this, she continues following Ash.

Later that night, Ash sets up camp for the night. Misty, also getting ready to go to sleep, exchanges a few smart remarks with Ash, upsetting Pikachu and Caterpie. While Ash and Misty sleep, Pikachu and Caterpie get to know each other a little better. In the morning, Misty remains frightened of Caterpie, causing the Pokémon to become subdued and return to his Poké Ball. Although Ash is angry, a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Pidgeotto}} captures his attention.

Wanting to catch Pidgeotto, Ash throws a Poké Ball, but Pidgeotto simply swats it away. Misty retorts that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to battle and weaken a wild Pokémon to capture it. She then mentions that he caught Caterpie only because it was weak, irritating Ash, who summons Caterpie to battle it despite the type disadvantage against Pidgeotto, of which both Misty and Pikachu are aware. Ash recalls Caterpie just in time, causing Pidgeotto to get its beak stuck in a tree.

Ash sends Pikachu after Pidgeotto just as it frees itself. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to hit Pidgeotto, weakening it and allowing Ash to toss a Poké Ball. The Ball takes Pidgeotto in and drops to the ground and starts swaying. After a few moments, the Ball stops moving; Ash has captured the {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Despite the success, Misty continues to berate him for his lack of knowledge about strategy.

{{TRT}} intrudes on their argument, reciting their {{motto}}. They decide to target his Pikachu, mentioning his incredible power, which causes them to become distracted in a short internal argument before they decide to attack. They then send out {{TP|James|Koffing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} to battle, despite a [[Double Battle|double-team]] being unfair. Misty wants to jump in, but Ash does not want to break the rules. Koffing's {{m|Sludge}} attack blinds Pikachu, taking him out of the battle. While he hands Pikachu off to Misty, he decides to send out his newly caught Pidgeotto, which dodges both Koffing and Ekans's attacks before going into a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Ekans avoids the attack by {{m|Dig|going underground}}, forcing Pidgeotto to come to a sudden stop. Koffing fires a {{m|Smog}} attack, which Pidgeotto splits with its wings before dodging multiple Sludge attacks and Ekans's retaliation. Despite soaring high into the sky, both Ekans and Koffing are able to keep up with Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto tries to hit Koffing with {{m|Gust}}, but misses and is defeated.

Ash recalls Pidgeotto and tries to fight Team Rocket with his fists, but [[James]] easily holds him back. In a final attempt, Ash sends out Caterpie, which only amuses Team Rocket. Ekans and Koffing attack and Caterpie cowers, but Ash orders him to use {{m|String Shot}}. The attack completely incapacitates Koffing before Caterpie muzzles Ekans. Caterpie {{m|Tackle}}s Koffing, knocking it into Ekans and taking them both out. {{MTR}} tries to intervene, but he is also wrapped in String Shot. Taken by surprise, Team Rocket flees but promises they will be back.

Ash congratulates Caterpie on coming through, and after some encouragement, Misty pats Caterpie's head. At that moment, Caterpie begins to spray silk from his mouth, startling her. Ash puts Caterpie down as the thread covers its body, signaling its evolution. Caterpie evolves into {{p|Metapod}}, and Ash's Pokédex notes that it has reached this stage more quickly than any other Caterpie on record. In addition, Misty shows approval of Ash's strengthening bonds with his Pokémon. Despite having fewer reservations about {{AP|Metapod}}, the sight of a {{p|Beedrill}} scares Misty, who looks forward to leaving the forest.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{Ash}} says "{{i|Poké Ball}}, go!" while throwing a Poké Ball at {{AP|Caterpie}}. In this episode, instead he says, "Caterpie, you're mine!"
* This is the first episode in which [[evolution]] is shown.
** This is the first time a main character {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that would later [[Evolution|evolve]] in the same episode. This scenario would not be repeated until more than 500 episodes later, in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]''.
* This is the first episode in which a main character catches more than one Pokémon of different species. This wouldn't occur again until ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', 1,088 episodes later.
* According to this episode, {{an|Misty}} cannot stand carrots or peppers, and her fear of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon is established here.
* Misty mentions in the Japanese version that she is ten years old.
* Misty owns a red sleeping bag decorated with bubbles, while Ash owns a blue sleeping bag with "Satoshi" (Ash's Japanese name) appearing on the name-tag.
* This is the first episode where type advantages are mentioned: {{type|Flying}} moves are effective against {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* A [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real-world animal]] appears in this episode, as {{AP|Pidgeotto}} is seen eating a regular worm.
* Despite the episode title saying "''a'' Pokémon", Ash catches ''two'' Pokémon.
* Both of the Pokémon Ash catches in this episode are released by the time Ash travels to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].
* This is the first episode where Ash uses his signature catchphrase and pose when successfully catching a Pokémon.
** Each of Ash's {{ashfr|traveling companions}} would attempt to copy this during the [[original series]].
* {{AP|Caterpie}}'s fight with Pidgeotto and Ash's capturing of the latter was shown on the VHS ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''.
* In this episode, when {{p|Caterpie}} evolves into {{p|Metapod}}, it shoots a shower of white silk string from its mouth onto itself and sheds its skin in the process, similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. Later episodes show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.
* Ash mentions that the [[Pokémon League]] has regulations stating that Trainers may only use one Pokémon at a time in battles. This rule may have changed years later in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', in which [[Double Battle|two-on-two battles]] are not considered unusual.
* This was for a long time the episode with the lowest number of [[human]] characters appearing, featuring only {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, [[Jessie]], and [[James]]. 672 episodes later, ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'' matched this record.
** Coincidentally, both of these episodes take place in a [[forest]] and feature Ash catching a Bug-type Pokémon.
** 1,013 episodes later, the record was broken by ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', which features only three human characters.

===Errors===
* When Ash runs to Caterpie's [[Poké Ball]], his hat is backwards but the colors are reversed; the front becomes red and the back becomes white.
* Just before Caterpie dashes over to Misty, she is partially hiding behind a tree and the trees behind her are obscured by bushes, but when Misty backs away from Caterpie, the bushes and the trees disappear.
* During the scene when Ash and Misty are sleeping and Pikachu and Caterpie are "talking," Pikachu starts bouncing back and forth on his two feet. He suddenly stops on his left foot, but the bouncing noises can still be heard.
* Pikachu freezes in midair while doing two backflips in front of Caterpie.
* When Ash and Pikachu are startled awake by Misty's scream, Caterpie's Poké Ball starts off facing away from Misty, but when Caterpie goes back in it, it is facing towards Misty, but upside down when Ash picks it up.
* When Caterpie is about to attack Pidgeotto, one of its right "paws" is green.
* When Ash throws the Poké Ball at Pidgeotto, both halves of the Poké Ball are red.
* Pikachu's tail turns all yellow, lacking the brown base, twice. First when Jessie and James point, and again after {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} are first called out before they attack anything.
* When Ekans and Koffing knock out Pidgeotto and they go in to attack Caterpie, Ekans's Japanese voice is heard.
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub, several {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} words can be heard throughout the episode.

===Dub edits===
[[File:Misty Slap2.png|thumb|200px|right|The cut shot]]
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 3
* In the English version, Misty reads the episode title instead of Ash, while in the Japanese version, Ash reads the title.
** This is justified in that, in the dub at least, Ash is busy gloating over his caught {{p|Caterpie}}, and thus is unable to read the episode title like he usually does.
* In the scene before Misty tells him about the three things she hates, Ash complains about girls and their selfishness. In the dub, after she says that bugs are one of three things most disgusting things of the world, Ash asks her what the disgusting things are ''aside from herself''.
* When Caterpie is looking sad due to Misty telling him to stay in his Poké Ball, the katakana for "Ga~n" (a Japanese sound effect) moves across the screen. This was painted out for the dub.
* How Misty and Ash commented on Caterpie is different between the versions (mostly due to religious censorship). In the English version, Ash was mentioning how he loves Caterpie, and Misty sarcastically responds how it takes a worm to love a worm; whereas in the original version, Ash comments that he and Caterpie are the same kind of Heaven and Misty retorts that their Heaven is ''her'' Hell.
* When Misty is telling Ash that birds eat worms, there is a shot where she slaps him for putting his Pokémon in danger. This was cut from the dub.
** Oddly, the sound effect of the slap is kept in.
* While Ash tells Caterpie "Counter", some have taken this to mean the {{m|Counter|move}}, which Caterpie cannot learn. In the original, Ash merely told it to "counter strike".
* In the English version, the scenes where Ekans and Koffing each tackle Pidgeotto, knocking it out in the process, were slowed down, while in the Japanese version, they each tackle Pidgeotto in a fast pace.

Picking up right where the [[EP002|previous episode]] left off, {{Ash}} throws his {{i|Poké Ball}} at a {{p|Caterpie}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. It attempts to break free but is unsuccessful. Ash celebrates catching {{AP|his first Pokémon|Caterpie}}, holding the Poké Ball and running in circles out of joy. When Ash holds the Poké Ball closer to {{an|Misty}}'s face, she reveals that she has a fear of {{t|bug}}s, even if they are contained in a Poké Ball. Pikachu is happy to have Caterpie along, and Ash decides to bring Caterpie out, scaring Misty away. Caterpie wants to make friends with Misty, but she prefers Pikachu. Ash is offended by Misty's discomfort and complaints, which hurt Caterpie's feelings. Ash reassures Caterpie and continues traveling without Misty. Misty, however, has other plans, as she is still upset about her ruined [[bicycle]] and wants Ash to replace it. Because of this, she continues following Ash.

Later that night, Ash sets up camp for the night. Misty, also getting ready to go to sleep, exchanges a few smart remarks with Ash, upsetting Pikachu and Caterpie. While Ash and Misty sleep, Pikachu and Caterpie get to know each other a little better. In the morning, Misty remains frightened of Caterpie, causing the Pokémon to become subdued and return to his Poké Ball. Although Ash is angry, a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Pidgeotto}} captures his attention.

Wanting to catch Pidgeotto, Ash throws a Poké Ball, but Pidgeotto simply swats it away. Misty retorts that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to battle and weaken a wild Pokémon to capture it. She then mentions that he caught Caterpie only because it was weak, irritating Ash, who summons Caterpie to battle it despite the type disadvantage against Pidgeotto, of which both Misty and Pikachu are aware. Ash recalls Caterpie just in time, causing Pidgeotto to get its beak stuck in a tree.

Ash sends Pikachu after Pidgeotto just as it frees itself. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to hit Pidgeotto, weakening it and allowing Ash to toss a Poké Ball. The Ball takes Pidgeotto in and drops to the ground and starts swaying. After a few moments, the Ball stops moving; Ash has captured the {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Despite the success, Misty continues to berate him for his lack of knowledge about strategy.

{{TRT}} intrudes on their argument, reciting their {{motto}}. They decide to target his Pikachu, mentioning his incredible power, which causes them to become distracted in a short internal argument before they decide to attack. They then send out {{TP|James|Koffing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} to battle, despite a [[Double Battle|double-team]] being unfair. Misty wants to jump in, but Ash does not want to break the rules. Koffing's {{m|Sludge}} attack blinds Pikachu, taking him out of the battle. While he hands Pikachu off to Misty, he decides to send out his newly caught Pidgeotto, which dodges both Koffing and Ekans's attacks before going into a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Ekans avoids the attack by {{m|Dig|going underground}}, forcing Pidgeotto to come to a sudden stop. Koffing fires a {{m|Smog}} attack, which Pidgeotto splits with its wings before dodging multiple Sludge attacks and Ekans's retaliation. Despite soaring high into the sky, both Ekans and Koffing are able to keep up with Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto tries to hit Koffing with {{m|Gust}}, but misses and is defeated.

Ash recalls Pidgeotto and tries to fight Team Rocket with his fists, but [[James]] easily holds him back. In a final attempt, Ash sends out Caterpie, which only amuses Team Rocket. Ekans and Koffing attack and Caterpie cowers, but Ash orders him to use {{m|String Shot}}. The attack completely incapacitates Koffing before Caterpie muzzles Ekans. Caterpie {{m|Tackle}}s Koffing, knocking it into Ekans and taking them both out. {{MTR}} tries to intervene, but he is also wrapped in String Shot. Taken by surprise, Team Rocket flees but promises they will be back.

Ash congratulates Caterpie on coming through, and after some encouragement, Misty pats Caterpie's head. At that moment, Caterpie begins to spray silk from his mouth, startling her. Ash puts Caterpie down as the thread covers its body, signaling its evolution. Caterpie evolves into {{p|Metapod}}, and Ash's Pokédex notes that it has reached this stage more quickly than any other Caterpie on record. In addition, Misty shows approval of Ash's strengthening bonds with his Pokémon. Despite having fewer reservations about {{AP|Metapod}}, the sight of a {{p|Beedrill}} scares Misty, who looks forward to leaving the forest.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{Ash}} says "{{i|Poké Ball}}, go!" while throwing a Poké Ball at {{AP|Caterpie}}. In this episode, instead he says, "Caterpie, you're mine!"
* This is the first episode in which [[evolution]] is shown.
** This is the first time a main character {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that would later [[Evolution|evolve]] in the same episode. This scenario would not be repeated until more than 500 episodes later, in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]''.
* This is the first episode in which a main character catches more than one Pokémon of different species. This wouldn't occur again until ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', 1,088 episodes later.
* According to this episode, {{an|Misty}} cannot stand carrots or peppers, and her fear of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon is established here.
* Misty mentions in the Japanese version that she is ten years old.
* Misty owns a red sleeping bag decorated with bubbles, while Ash owns a blue sleeping bag with "Satoshi" (Ash's Japanese name) appearing on the name-tag.
* This is the first episode where type advantages are mentioned: {{type|Flying}} moves are effective against {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* A [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real-world animal]] appears in this episode, as {{AP|Pidgeotto}} is seen eating a regular worm.
* Despite the episode title saying "''a'' Pokémon", Ash catches ''two'' Pokémon.
* Both of the Pokémon Ash catches in this episode are released by the time Ash travels to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].
* This is the first episode where Ash uses his signature catchphrase and pose when successfully catching a Pokémon.
** Each of Ash's {{ashfr|traveling companions}} would attempt to copy this during the [[original series]].
* {{AP|Caterpie}}'s fight with Pidgeotto and Ash's capturing of the latter was shown on the VHS ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''.
* In this episode, when {{p|Caterpie}} evolves into {{p|Metapod}}, it shoots a shower of white silk string from its mouth onto itself and sheds its skin in the process, similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. Later episodes show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.
* Ash mentions that the [[Pokémon League]] has regulations stating that Trainers may only use one Pokémon at a time in battles. This rule may have changed years later in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', in which [[Double Battle|two-on-two battles]] are not considered unusual.
* This was for a long time the episode with the lowest number of [[human]] characters appearing, featuring only {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, [[Jessie]], and [[James]]. 672 episodes later, ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'' matched this record.
** Coincidentally, both of these episodes take place in a [[forest]] and feature Ash catching a Bug-type Pokémon.
** 1,013 episodes later, the record was broken by ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', which features only three human characters.

===Errors===
* When Ash runs to Caterpie's [[Poké Ball]], his hat is backwards but the colors are reversed; the front becomes red and the back becomes white.
* Just before Caterpie dashes over to Misty, she is partially hiding behind a tree and the trees behind her are obscured by bushes, but when Misty backs away from Caterpie, the bushes and the trees disappear.
* During the scene when Ash and Misty are sleeping and Pikachu and Caterpie are "talking," Pikachu starts bouncing back and forth on his two feet. He suddenly stops on his left foot, but the bouncing noises can still be heard.
* Pikachu freezes in midair while doing two backflips in front of Caterpie.
* When Ash and Pikachu are startled awake by Misty's scream, Caterpie's Poké Ball starts off facing away from Misty, but when Caterpie goes back in it, it is facing towards Misty, but upside down when Ash picks it up.
* When Caterpie is about to attack Pidgeotto, one of its right "paws" is green.
* When Ash throws the Poké Ball at Pidgeotto, both halves of the Poké Ball are red.
* Pikachu's tail turns all yellow, lacking the brown base, twice. First when Jessie and James point
** This happens again after {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} are first called out before they attack anything.
* When Ekans and Koffing knock out Pidgeotto and they go in to attack Caterpie, Ekans's Japanese voice is heard.
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub, several {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} words can be heard throughout the episode.

===Dub edits===
[[File:Misty Slap2.png|thumb|200px|right|The cut shot]]
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 3
* In the English version, Misty reads the episode title instead of Ash, while in the Japanese version, Ash reads the title.
** This is justified in that, in the dub at least, Ash is busy gloating over his caught {{p|Caterpie}}, and thus is unable to read the episode title like he usually does.
* In the scene before Misty tells him about the three things she hates, Ash complains about girls and their selfishness. In the dub, after she says that bugs are one of three things most disgusting things of the world, Ash asks her what the disgusting things are ''aside from herself''.
* When Caterpie is looking sad due to Misty telling him to stay in his Poké Ball, the katakana for "Ga~n" (a Japanese sound effect) moves across the screen. This was painted out for the dub.
* How Misty and Ash commented on Caterpie is different between the versions (mostly due to religious censorship). In the English version, Ash was mentioning how he loves Caterpie, and Misty sarcastically responds how it takes a worm to love a worm; whereas in the original version, Ash comments that he and Caterpie are the same kind of Heaven and Misty retorts that their Heaven is ''her'' Hell.
* When Misty is telling Ash that birds eat worms, there is a shot where she slaps him for putting his Pokémon in danger. This was cut from the dub.
** Oddly, the sound effect of the slap is kept in.
* While Ash tells Caterpie "Counter", some have taken this to mean the {{m|Counter|move}}, which Caterpie cannot learn. In the original, Ash merely told it to "counter strike".
* In the English version, the scenes where Ekans and Koffing each tackle Pidgeotto, knocking it out in the process, were slowed down, while in the Japanese version, they each tackle Pidgeotto in a fast pace.

==Blurb==


Ash discovers and catches a Caterpie—his first Pokémon capture! Though Ash is excited, Misty is grossed out by Bug-type Pokémon, so she is repulsed by its attempts to be friends with her. At night, as Ash and Misty sleep, Caterpie shares with Pikachu its dream of evolving into a Butterfree.

The next day, Ash is able to capture a Pidgeotto after battling it with Pikachu. Before Ash can celebrate too wildly, Misty reminds him that his success is due more to luck than skill.

Team Rocket shows up to steal Pikachu—they realize that there's really something special about this Pokémon—and Ash vows to defend himself. Pikachu and Pidgeotto are weakened by Koffing and Ekans, so he reluctantly sends out Caterpie. To the surprise of Jessie and James—not to mention Ash—Caterpie's String Shot is able to defeat the Team Rocket Pokémon, including Meowth!

When Misty tries to make nice with Caterpie, it evolves into a Metapod. Could a Butterfree Evolution be far behind?

===Errors===
* When Ash is shown running to Caterpie's Poké Ball, his hat is backwards (you can see the Pokémon League icon and the brim on the back) but the colors are reversed; the front becomes red and the back becomes white.
* In the shot right before Caterpie dashes over to Misty, she is partially hiding behind a tree and the trees behind her are obscured by bushes, but when Misty backs away from Caterpie, the bushes and the trees disappear.

* When Caterpie is about to attack Pidgeotto, one of its right "paws" is green.
* When Pidgeotto is hit by Pikachu's Thundershock, Pidgeotto stays hovering in the air without support.
** This could be another instance of anime physics.
* When Ash throws the Poké Ball at Pidgeotto to catch it, both halves are red.
* When Jessie and James point at Pikachu, his tail is all yellow, lacking the brown base.
** This happens again after Ekans and Koffing are first called out before they attack anything.
* When Ash calls back Pidgeotto, it somehow acquires bandages in midair.
* When Ekans and Koffing knock out Pidgeotto and they go in to attack Caterpie, Ekans's Japanese voice is heard.
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub, several {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} words can be heard throughout the episode.

===Dub edits===
[[File:Misty Slap2.png|thumb|200px|right|The cut shot]]
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 3
* In the English version, Misty reads the episode title instead of Ash, while in the Japanese version, Ash reads the title.
** This is justified in that, in the dub at least, Ash is busy gloating over his caught {{p|Caterpie}}, and thus is unable to read the episode title like he usually does.
* In the scene before Misty tells him about the three things she hates, Ash complains about girls and their selfishness. In the dub, after she says that bugs are one of three things most disgusting things of the world, Ash asks her what the disgusting things are ''aside from herself''.
* When Caterpie is looking sad due to Misty telling him to stay in his Poké Ball, the katakana for "Ga~n" (a Japanese sound effect) moves across the screen. This was painted out for the dub.
* How Misty and Ash commented on Caterpie is different between the versions (mostly due to religious censorship). In the English version, Ash was mentioning how he loves Caterpie, and Misty sarcastically responds how it takes a worm to love a worm; whereas in the original version, Ash comments that he and Caterpie are the same kind of Heaven and Misty retorts that their Heaven is ''her'' Hell.
* When Misty is telling Ash that birds eat worms, there is a shot where she slaps him for putting his Pokémon in danger. This was cut from the dub.
** Oddly, the sound effect of the slap is kept in.
* While Ash tells Caterpie "Counter", some have taken this to mean the {{m|Counter|move}}, which Caterpie cannot learn. In the original, Ash merely told it to "counter strike".
* In the English version, the scenes where Ekans and Koffing each tackle Pidgeotto, knocking it out in the process, were slowed down, while in the Japanese version, they each tackle Pidgeotto in a fast pace.

User:Satsjoe/Ash's Pokémon History

2020-07-16T06:57:38Z

KnightGalarie: See, for the Hoenn (post-Battle Frontier), Sinnoh, and Unova journeys, some of the Pokémon in his party were catches in other regions. Kalos and Alola not only were all in region catches, but came off fresh releases. I think it works

This page shows the history of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s Pokémon team.
