==Mew Glitch==

It says that the Mew Glitch was removed, but I own the game and I was able to use the glitch [[User:mewrox99]]
:I haven't played the Japanese Blue, but since the games released as Red and Blue outside of Japan were modified versions of the Japanese Blue (more or less the only differences being that they have the available Pokémon from Red and Green instead of the Japanese Blue) and have the Mew Glitch (hell, even Yellow has it and it was the last Gen I game), I don't see why it wouldn't have it. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 19:12, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

== Game title ==
How about just having this article be titled "Pocket Monsters Blue"? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 01:11, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
:Well, it's better known as the Japanese version of Pokémon Blue, just like we don't have Red/Green as Pocket Monsters Red and Green. I'd suggest maybe a redirect, but not moving the page... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 04:51, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
::I went ahead and created redirects for Red, Green, and the Japanese Blue from titles with Pocket Monsters in them. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 19:16, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

== Mew, etc. ==
I'm probably wrong, but didn't the promotion in this version actually get the player a Mew? Also, according to the late Encyclopedia Pokémonica, Hiroshi is the default name for the Rival, rather than Shigeru. Can anyone confirm that? ~Kumori Satosuke
:I can confirm the Hiroshi name, yeah, if anyone still cares.[[User:Adamant|Adamant]] 16:19, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
::If by promotion you mean diploma, no, it didn't. All Pokémon games, Japanese or otherwise, have a diploma that does absolutely nothing but give you bragging rights. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 19:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

== It went and evolved ==
"It went and evolved" does make sense for Poliwhirl. Just because it doesn't evolve through trading doesn't mean he couldn't have evolved it... should this perhaps be corrected? (That said, I do remember the whole Raichu thing and being really frustrated that I couldn't evolve it)
:People do generally think of the Raichu when this is brought up, yes. The original trade in Blue version was a Kadabra, which obviously evolves on trade. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 23:29, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

==Different Catch Rates==
If the catch rates are different, then what are they? Are the different ones the ones we know today, or are these totally different?
:I'm pretty sure it's referring to being different from {{game|Red and Green|s}}. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 19:10, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
::Blue doesn't even appear to have different catch rates (in other words, they're the same as in any other game). I took a quick look at the Red, Green, and Blue ROMs with a hex editor, and the catch rates of all Pokémon were the same in each game. I also compared the ROMs to [[List of Pokémon by catch rate|this list]], and the only difference was [[Raticate (Pokémon)|Raticate]], which is 90 in all three ROMs I looked at, though according to its page, it changed to 127 in [[Generation III]], not [[Blue]]. So in essence, nothing changed in Blue. [[User:Blaziken257|Blaziken257]] 06:53, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

== Public Release? ==

According to someone commenting on one of my YouTube videos, this game was rereleased on 10/10/1999. If true, shouldn't this information be added to the page? [[User:Teradyne|Teradyne]] 03:28, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
:Actual data > some random person commenting on your youtube video.--[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[User talk:RexRacer|Racer''']] 03:49, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

== Japanese vs English Names ==

Considering this article is for a Japanese game, shouldn't it use the Japanese names instead of the English ones? (Gym leaders, Prof. Oak, Pokémon, etc). This page and the [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]] pages have been changed to English but in my opinion they should use the Japanese names of characters and link to English pages for clarification since the Japanese games would refer to the Pokémon in Japanese. [[User:Xxcom9a|Xxcom9a]] 22:51, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Trade? ==

There is a list of Pokémon that can only be obtained by trading from Red/Green on this page, but there are a whole bunch of Pokémon that have trade listed as their location that aren't on here (Tentacool, Oddish, Magikarp, Pikachu, Ghastly to name a few). Why are these pages all so different? [[User:Frenchhorn|Frenchhorn]] 20:50, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:They are in the games but no-one's got round to adding the location to the availability template yet. The only site I know that has the Pokemon locations from this game is Serebii. We also don't have the Japanese Blue added to the catch template, I've added it [[User talk:Vuvuzela2010/Template:Catch/entry1|here]], but it hasnt been approved yet. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 21:06, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

== The title of the page should stay the same. ==

It has been suggested that the title of this article be renamed "Pokémon Blue (Japanese)." I'm okay with the suggestion, but even though other territories don't use the word "version," North America does, so we should refer to it by its full North American name. Thank you.

If the word "version" seems out of place in this instance, I suggest renaming the page to "Pocket Monsters Blue." [[User:Crunchdog29|Crunchdog29]] ([[User talk:Crunchdog29|talk]]) 23:20, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

== Missing ==

Can the locations of pokemon in Japanese Blue be added to the respective articles? {{unsigned|RubyLeafGreenCrystal}}
:I actually attempted this the other day, but I couldn't figure out how to add a column to the encounter charts specifically for Blue. It wouldn't even be that hard to add Blue's encounter data, since the Japanese pages for routes, etc. are just about as thorough as our pages, albeit using fractions for encounter odds rather than percentage. If I can figure out that column issue, I'll add Blue's data.--[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 17:21, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

==false==
they can be obtained without trading (with glitches)[[User:Pikachu210|Pikachu210]] ([[User talk:Pikachu210|talk]]) 04:00, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
:Glitches do not count, since it's not legitimate.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:09, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Ferrum

2022-12-14T04:34:47Z

Knowitall: /* Reasoning for Iriomote as Ferrum's inspiration? */

==Ferrum Sure Looks A Lot Like South Jeolla==

Hello. I'm just mentioning here that Ferrum looks quite a bit like the South Jeolla Province of South Korea. I think of that because of the islands that are next to Ferrum make more sense to be based on South Jeolla than Iriomote Island. Plus, the area looks quite a bit like Ferrum. I know it may seem a bit [[Farfetch'd]], considering how 'friendly' Japan and the Koreas are to each other, but I personally think that it makes a great match. What do you guys think?

[[User:CrazyMew37|CrazyMew37]] ([[User talk:CrazyMew37|talk]]) 02:22, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

:As the guy who first proposed Iriomote=Ferrum, I'm afraid I must disagree. On a surface level, sure, Gangjin County in particular has a few similarities to Ferrum, but when you really take a look, Iriomote Island has more in common with Ferrum. Ferrum is descibed as "a huge island surrounded by nothing but the ocean itself." Iriomote matches this description almost to a T, since the only island bigger than it in Okinawa Prefecture is Okinawa Island. A map of Ferrum shows that its population is comprised of solitary settlements, with no clear roads or pathways connecting them. Again, this matches with Iriomote, where there's only one road along the coast, unlike South Jeolla. One of Ferrum's islands is the location for Local Battles, implying that the island has some sort of notability. As it turns out, one of Iriomote's neighboring islands has a tourist information center. Iriomote may not line up perfectly with Ferrum, but there are definite connections between the two, more so than with South Jeolla. --[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 03:05, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

::I don't buy the parallel to Iriomote Island, for a variety of reasons. First, at less than 300 square kilometers, the real Iriomote is not a "huge island" by any definition. It's not even in the top 10 for Japan. Second, Iriomote Island is barely-inhabited, apart from seasonal nature tourism. The entire Yaeyama archipelago only has a population of about 4,000 people (approx. 12 people per square km; compare to Okinawa with over 1000 per square km). Yet Ferrum is shown to have a massive metropolis, Neos City, as well as extensive high-tech infrastructure, including stadiums that seat thousands of people. The implied parallel of Neos and Ohara doesn't work at all; Ohara is barely more than a village. Third, Iriomote has a tropical rainforest climate and is covered in mangrove swamps, while Ferrum displays a continental climate with four distinct seasons and a variety of biomes. Now, I don't think the case for South Korea is that solid either, but it's no more problematic than the case for Iriomote. If anything, the evidence suggests Bandai-Namco didn't base Ferrum on any real world-location. Until one of the developers speaks out, I think it's better to be silent on the issue. [[User:ThuribleOD|ThuribleOD]] ([[User talk:ThuribleOD|talk]]) 18:08, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

== Japanese theory for Ferrum's real-world equivalent. ==

While perusing through Japanese Pokemon wikis, I came across a theory that Ferrum was inspired by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinia Sardinia, Italy.] I can see geographical similarities, but I also saw similarities with Iriomote Island, so I'd rather leave the research to someone who actually knows what they're doing. Who knows, maybe it'd be better to just say there's no real-world inspiration for Ferrum, just like Ransei.--[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 20:42, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

== Reasoning for Iriomote as Ferrum's inspiration? ==

I'm curious to know what that could be aside from the lack of roads or being an island. As a matter of fact, I would be very interested to hear what the idea behind Ferrum being based on any Japanese region could be. This is a subject I'm very interested in, as someone who did a lot of research into Okinawa's history working under the assumption Ferrum was indeed meant to be Iriomote for a fan project I was wanting to put together... [[User:KikiAsh|KikiAsh]] ([[User talk:KikiAsh|talk]]) 06:55, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

:I'm the person who first made the theory about Iriomote. My only reference for Ferrum was the photo found on this very page, and I scoured Google Earth for any sort of area that looked similar, even tangentially. I didn't know that there's actually a screenshot that shows a lot more of Ferrum. Really, had I done better research, I never would've mentioned Iriomote in the first place, and I now believe that Ferrum is based off Sardinia, because various Sardinian landmarks/settlements line up better with Ferrum than Iriomote ever did. I'll probably just remove any and all references to Iriomote, assuming the mods don't mind.--[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 04:34, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

'''Ferrum''' (Japanese: '''フェルム地方''' ''Ferrum-chihō'') is the name of the [[region]] that serves as the setting for [[Pokkén Tournament]]. It is home to cities, towns, stadiums, ruins, and other locations such as a volcano, multiple islands, and even a dragon's nest. Battles are held wherever the energy of the earth is particularly strong, so most areas in the region serve as battle arenas for Ferrum Battles.

==Initial areas==
The main region is split between six areas a player can initially visit: Old Ferrum Town, Techne City, Tellur Town, Ferrum Stadium, Selen Island, and Neos City, as well two additional areas in the [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]] version: Haunted House and Thalia Beach. On the main menu of Pokkén Tournament, each area is labeled by its primary function, but when the area is selected, the name of the town appears in a video screen.

===Old Ferrum Town===
Old Ferrum Town, also called My Town, is where the player can go to adjust their game settings, Pokémon, character profile, {{OBP|Nia|Pokkén Tournament}}'s settings, as well as view their Battle Records. It is located in the center of the Ferrum Region.

===Techne City===
Techne City is a place where Nia teaches the player about the aspects of Pokkén Tournament. It is located in the southeastern portion of the Ferrum Region. There are four main lessons of Practice to chose from:
*"Tutorial" teaches the player about the basics of battle, the Attack Triangle, and several other techniques.
*"Free Training" allows the player to set the battle rules to their liking and face off against a CPU Pokémon, which can be told what to do and how to react by a pause menu.
*"Action Dojo" goes over the different moves for each of the Pokémon. The moves Nia talks about will be based on the Pokémon selected.
*"Combo Dojo" goes over the different combos the player's Pokémon can perform. The moves Nia talks about will be based on the Pokémon selected.

===Tellur Town===
Tellur Town is where one player can initially go to face off against a CPU opponent in Single Battle. It is located in the northeastern portion of the Ferrum Region. The player sets the rules and chooses the Battle Pokémon and Support Pokémon sets for both themselves and their opponent before starting the battle.
There are three types of battle rules:
* "Basic Battle" (Japanese: ベーシックバトル) - A classic fighting-style battle in three rounds. The player that knocks out opponent's Pokémon in two rounds first is the winner.
* "Extra Battle" (Japanese: エクストラバトル) - A three-round battle (just like Basic Battle) that includes collectible orbs that spawn on the stage that could either boost or hinder Pokémon's stats and abilities. The player that knocks out opponent's Pokémon in two rounds first is the winner.
* "Team Battle" (Japanese: チームバトル) - A battle exclusively in Pokkén Tournament DX ([[Nintendo Switch]]), each player chooses three different Pokémon and fights to see which team will be the last one standing. Similar to the [[core series]] games, the player sends out one of their remaining Pokémon when their Pokémon is defeated in a round. At the end of the round, the HP and Synergy Gauge of the winning Pokémon carries over. The winner is the player's team that knocks out all three opponent's Pokémon first.

===Ferrum Stadium===
The Ferrum League is where players initially go to test their skills in battle. The league is single player only. It is located in the north of the Ferrum Region. Live broadcast for Ferrum League events are being held by the "Ferrum Sports Broadcast Company" (FSBC) TV channel.

In order to progress in the Ferrum League, the player has to battle several challengers. Upon beating a group of them, the player's Rank will increase based on how well they did. The Ferrum League is split into several smaller leagues and the player starts at the bottom. If the player manages to defeat enough challengers to make at least Rank 8, they will be able to partake in the tournament. Completing the tournament will allow the player to face against the League Master. The player can also do Free Battles in the league, which pits them against a random opponent within the league, but won't affect the player's Rank.

===Selen Island===
Local Battle is where two players initially go to face off against each other. The island is located to the east in the Ferrum Region.

In order to do so, one player (Player One) uses the [[Wii U]]'s Gamepad/[[Nintendo Switch|Switch]]'s Joy-Con and the other player (Player Two) uses a secondary controller. Player One battles using the controls and Wii U/Switch screen, whereas the second player uses their controller and the television screen. Players are allowed to play the game in either single screen by regular perspective or Split Screen by Player One's perspective.

After setting the rules, both players chose from the available battling Pokémon, followed by a set of Support Pokémon, and then the arena. The battle will begin once both players are ready to fight.

===Neos City===
Neos City is where a player can initially go to fight a random opponent or a friend online via Online Battle. The city is located in the south of the Ferrum Region.

Players can partake in either a "Rank Match" or a "Friendly Match". Rank Match has two players battle to increase their online ranking, whereas Friendly Match is meant for players who only want to battle without worrying about their rank. Friends can also only be battled in Friendly Match. When searching for an opponent, the player may face off against a CPU opponent while the game is searching.

===Haunted House===
Daily Challenge provides a challenge on daily basis, which is only available in the Switch version. Completing it will earn the player Skill Points for a Pokémon once per day.

===Thalia Beach===
Thalia Beach is a Switch-exclusive location where players can apply for a battle and recruit opponents to the group via Wireless Battle. The players can search for a match or set up their own customized match for others to join.

==Arenas==
There are various arenas that battles in the Ferrum Region take place on. Some are available from the start of the game to use in the single player training or multiplayer modes, whereas others must be unlocked by meeting certain conditions. Some arenas are in the same locations as the initial areas. In Pokkén Tournament DX, all arenas except for Snow Gift are unlocked initially.

==Natural phenomena==
===Synergy Stones===
Stones with a mysterious power that are found in the Ferrum Region. Reacting to Gaia, the energy of the earth, they create Synergy Power that has the ability to vitalize living creatures. Some people can use them to communicate directly with Pokémon.

===Synergy Power===
A mysterious energy created by using Synergy Stones. Allows humans and Pokémon to communicate on an instinctual level. In response to a Ferrum Battle, this energy may also appear during the fighting.

===Great Synergy Stone===
The large stone decorating the Ferrum Stadium is a massive crystallized chunk of Synergy Power. Its vitalizing effect on life blankets the entire stadium, causing large amounts of Synergy Power to appear in the vicinity.

===Synergy Burst===
A Pokémon-related phenomenon that has only ever been confirmed in the Ferrum Region. It occurs when the Synergy between a human and a Pokémon reaches its peak level. Many mysteries still surround this phenomenon, though it is postulated to be related to [[Mega Evolution]], as Pokémon (with Mega Evolutions) in a Synergy Burst state will Mega Evolve.

==Customs==
The Ferrum Region has developed a unique culture due to the presence of Synergy Stones. Rich in nature, people and Pokémon have coexisted here since ancient times. The one-on-one Ferrum Battle is unique to this region.

===Battle Trainer===
The name given to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who fight Ferrum Battles. They have to be able to use a certain level of Synergy Stone power. They use a Battle AR device and fight battles in sync with their partner Battle Pokémon.

===Rank===
Indicates the strength of a battle trainer. Rank changes depending upon battle performance. Ranks range from E5 to S1.

===Advisor===
A Trainer who gives advice during battle. They use the communication functions of the Battle AR to talk to the battle trainer wearing the device. {{OBP|Nia|Pokkén Tournament}} is one such advisor who partners with a {{p|Weavile}}. Though her skills in battle remain unknown, she does enjoy traveling with her Battle Pokémon.

===FSBC===
A TV station which broadcasts the Ferrum League. Its full name is the "Ferrum Sports Broadcasting Company".

==Technology==
===Battle AR===
A special device embedded with a Synergy Stone, worn as an earpiece by a Battle Trainer. It allows the trainer to sync up with their partner Battle Pokémon, and also project battle information into their field of view.

===Battle Capsule===
A device that instantly creates the battle arenas in which Ferrum Battles are fought. Once activated the capsule floats in mid-air and creates the battle arena. It is also outfitted with numerous functions that support the holding of these battles.

===Battle Arena===
The walled-off area inside which Ferrum Battles are held. Created by a battle capsule. Changing the capsule's settings can create arenas of different sizes and shapes.

===Virtual Paint===
One of the functions of a battle capsule. When two Pokémon of the same species battle, virtual paint is applied to temporarily change the color of one of the combatants, making it easier for spectators to follow the action.

==Trivia==
* Several areas in the Ferrum region are named after {{wp|chemical element}}s:
** Old Ferrum Town - {{wp|Iron}}
** Techne City - {{wp|Technetium}}
** Tellur Town - {{wp|Tellurium}}
** Selen Island - {{wp|Selenium}}
** Neos City - {{wp|Neon}}
** Phos Volcano - {{wp|Phosphorus}}
** Thalia Beach - {{wp|Thallium}}

===Origin===
Ferrum has notable geographical similarities to {{wp|Iriomote Island}} and {{wp|Sardinia}}, with Neos City bearing a strong resemblance to ''Ōhara Port'' and {{wp|Teulada, Sardinia|Teulada}}, respectively.

==Trivia==
* This is the first ending to feature [[human]] characters.
* The outfits the human characters wear in this ending are the same outfits they wore in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.
* A different recording of this song was used in the Japanese version of ''The Ghost of Maiden's Peak''. It was sung by [[Unshō Ishizuka]]. This version can't be heard anywhere else.
* It also aired as the ending for [[EP104]], replacing [[Type: Wild]], and was replaced by [[Riding on Lapras]] in [[EP105|the following episode]].
* The two Pokémon repeating their names at various points of the song are {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Ekans}}.
* In [[DP141]], {{an|Barry}} sings Pokémon Ondo during the Twinleaf Festival.
* This is one of the few Japanese songs that can be heard in the [[dub]]. It was played in the background of ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''.
* The full song is the first instance of {{p|Porygon}} being mentioned since the [[EP038]] incident.

Pokémon world in relation to the real world

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of eight of the major Pokémon [[region]]s—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Hisui]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], [[Alola]], and [[Galar]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and they are sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions and Hisui region are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, Unova and Alola are based on parts of the {{wp|United States}}, Kalos is based on {{wp|France}}, and Galar is based on the {{wp|United Kingdom}}. It is said the inspiration for [[Orre]] is {{wp|Phoenix, Arizona}}.

==Core regions==
===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kantō region}} of Japan (関東地方, ''Kantō-chihō'', meaning "Region East to the Barrier", referring to the east of the Hakone checkpoint) is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], but is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game map corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chūbu region|Chūbu}} (中部地方, ''Chūbu-chihō'', meaning "Central region", also called 中部日本, ''Chūbu-nihon'', that means "Central Japan").

===Sinnoh===
[[Sinnoh]] has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula. It is based on the northernmost major island of Japan, {{wp|Hokkaido}} (北海道, ''Hokkaidō'', literally "Northern Sea Circuit"), as well as parts of the {{wp|Kuril Islands}} (Japanese: 千島列島 ''Chishima Rettō'', meaning "Archipelago of Thousand Islands"; Russian: Кури́льские острова́, ''Kurilskiye ostrova'', Kuril Islands). {{wp|Kunashir Island}} (Japanese: 国後島 Kunashiri Tō; Russian: Кунаши́р, "Kunashír"), which is in {{wp|Kuril Islands dispute|dispute}} between Russia and Japan, is also included. The [[Battle Zone]] is based on {{wp|Sakhalin}} (Japanese: 樺太 ''Karafuto''; Russian: Сахали́н, "Sakhalín"), a Russian island whose southern part was controlled by Japan between 1905 and 1945.

[[Hisui]] is the historical name of Sinnoh known during its discovery and settlement. The name change could be a reference to the fact that {{wp|Ezo|Ezochi}} (蝦夷地, ''Ezochi'', meaning "Land of the Ezo" or "Ezo-land", Ezo was the historical exonym that the Japanese used to the {{wp|Ainu}} people, the original inhabitants of Hokkaido) was renamed Hokkaido and established as a {{wp|Prefectures of Japan|prefecture}} after the {{wp|Meiji Restoration}}. Therefore, the Hisui region is likely based on Hokkaido in the late {{wp|Edo period|Edo}} and early {{wp|Meiji era|Meiji}} when large-scale development and modernization took place. The design of Hisui is heavily inspired by the physical geography of Hokkaido.

* Prior to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], [[Lt. Surge]] was known as "The Lightning {{wp|United States|American}}!". In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Pokémon Journal entries state that he "is rumored to have been a pilot while home in America."
* [[Game Freak]]'s offices are present in the [[Celadon Condominiums]], the equivalent location of their former real-world office in {{wp|Carrot Tower}}. Likewise, they have a building in [[Castelia City]], and are found on 22F, the same floor that their former offices were on in Carrot Tower.
* In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{tc|Scientist}} Taylor in the [[Silph Co.]] building mentions an international branch of Silph Co. In English, he states that the {{wp|Tiksi}} branch of the company is "in {{wp|Russia}}n no-man's-land". In the Japanese version, he states that the Ponaya Tunguska (Japanese: ポナヤツングスカ) branch is located "deep in Russia". Ponaya Tunguska appears to be a shortened form of the transliterated name of {{wp|Podkamennaya Tunguska (rural locality)|Podkamennaya Tunguska}} in Japanese (ポドカメンナヤツングースカ).
* {{p|Mew}} was originally discovered in the jungles of the {{wp|South America}}n country [[Guyana]]. This is mentioned in logs inside of Cinnabar Island's {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}.
* In Gold, Silver, {{v2|Crystal}}, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, {{jo|Webster}}, the guard in the [[gate]] north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed {{wp|Kenya}}, the name of a country in {{wp|Africa}}.
* In the original Japanese version of FireRed and LeafGreen, Blaine refers to {{wp|Kyoto}}.
* Upon defeating Fisherman Bronson in the [[Sinnoh]] {{si|Battle Tower}}, he will say, "Why the emperor of fishing? It's an ancient Chinese legend...".
* A {{tc|Guitarist}} that can be battled in [[Generation IV]]'s {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} mentions that his guitar is actually a {{wp|Shamisen|Japanese instrument}}.
* Among the exhibits of the Nacrene museum, there is an African mask, referring to a place in the real world, in addition to being different from other exhibitions, which are related to the history of the Pokémon.
* {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Beartic}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, and {{p|Arctovish}}'s names are derived from a real-world location, the {{wp|Arctic}}.
* {{p|Arcanine}}'s {{game|Yellow}}, {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Stadium}}, [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold]] [[Pokédex]] entries state that it is mentioned in {{wp|China|Chinese}} legends.
* {{p|Parasect}}'s Stadium and FireRed Pokédex entries mention that its spores are used in medicine in China.
* {{p|Ponyta}}'s Stadium Pokédex entry mentions that it can clear the Eiffel Tower ({{wp|Tokyo Tower}} in the original Japanese version) in one leap, and its FireRed entry says that it can clear {{wp|Uluru|Ayers Rock}} in one leap.
* {{p|Poliwrath}}'s Gold, [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, HeartGold, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, White 2]] and [[Pokémon X and Y|X]] Pokédex entries mention its ability to swim the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}}. Also, the direction of a Poliwrath's spirals depends on its geographical location. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], it instead refers to "the ocean".
* {{p|Xatu}}'s Silver, FireRed, and SoulSilver Pokédex entries mention that South Americans say that it can see both the future and past.
* {{p|Delibird}}'s Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Pokédex entries explain that a Delibird helped a famous explorer reach the top of {{wp|Mt. Everest}}. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it instead refers to "world's highest mountain," which is what Mt. Everest is to Earth.
* {{p|Regice}}'s Emerald Pokédex entry mentions {{wp|Antarctica|Antarctic}} ice.
* [[Regional form#Galarian Form|Galarian]] {{p|Meowth}} are implied to have been raised by Vikings in ancient times, and share many similarities with them.
* In ''[[EP009|School of Hard Knocks]]'', {{an|Misty}} fantasizes about {{wp|Paris}} and the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}}.
* In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', James says that the [[Fuchsia Gym]] looks like a {{wp|Japan|Japanese}} restaurant.
* In the English [[dub]] of ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', Melvin says he wanted to make it to {{wp|Las Vegas}}. In the Japanese version, he said that he wanted to make it to {{wp|Broadway}}.

* In the {{wp|William Shakespeare}}-inspired episode ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]'', Misty described the town as like being in "merry old {{wp|England}}".
* In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Team Rocket are disguised as {{wp|Vikings}}. In the English dub, [[Brock]] says that he didn't know that Vikings still existed and {{Ash}} replies that they "mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}". This is a reference to the Minnesota Vikings, a football team in the area.
:*In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish dub}} of the movie, Ash says that they come from {{wp|Norway}}, a reference to the Norse Vikings who lived from the 8th to the 11th century.
:* In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish dub}} of the movie, Ash tells Brock that the Vikings are mostly on trips in {{wp|Sweden}}, again referring to the Norse Vikings, but may also refer to {{wp|Vikingarna (band)|Vikingarna}}, a Swedish {{wp|dansband}}.
:* In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish dub}} of the movie, Ash quips that Vikings still live in the {{wp|Sipoo}} archipelago, referring to the fact that Sipoo was at the time mostly inhabited by Swedish-speaking Finns (another reference to Norse Vikings).
* At the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', Mewtwo is shown overlooking a "faraway city" that greatly resembles New York City. Buildings similar to the {{wp|Chrysler Building}} and the {{wp|MetLife Building}} are visible in the distance.
* In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', Misty makes a direct reference to the Earth, saying, "The Earth is so pretty." However, she may be referring to the landscape rather than the literal planet.
* In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat]]'', {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Charizard}} uses {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Normally, a cloudy globe can be seen, but this time the Pacific Ocean and {{wp|Australia}} are prominent. This also happens in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'' and the introduction to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* In the English dub of ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', [[Jessie]] talks about Antarctica, the place where their next assignment is located.
* In ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'', an ad in {{an|May}}'s food guidebook mentions "Chinese noodles".
* A map of the Pokémon world seen in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is On Axew!]]'' centered on Unova features several landmasses resembling Europe and Scandinavia, with some of them either being rotated or flipped.
* In the {{pmin|South Asia|Hindi}} dub of ''[[BW28|Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!]]'', while [[Ash's Oshawott]] was perfecting {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{an|Cilan}} states "{{tt|जाना था जापान पर पहुंच गए चाइना|We wanted to go to Japan, but ended up in China}}" (lit. ''Jānā thā Japan, par pahunch gaye China''), which refers to the real-world countries of {{wp|Japan}} and {{wp|China}}. The phrase itself can be interpreted roughly as "The aim and the result were different".
* In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', the Eiffel Tower and the {{wp|Arc de Triomphe}} were seen on a movie poster.
* In the Hindi dub of ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'' , {{MTR}} says "{{tt|हम सब जानते हैं कश्मीर से कन्याकुमारी तक|We know everything, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari}}" (lit. ''Ham sab jānte hain, Kashmīr se Kanyākumāri tak''). This is a common Indian saying, roughly translating to "Our knowledge is supreme", which refers to the Indian subcontinent's northernmost region, {{wp|Kashmir}}, and its southernmost city, {{wp|Kanyakumari}}.
* Starting with [[M16|the sixteenth movie]], each Pokémon movie features a recurring globe texture in the intro used to represent the Pokémon world (as opposed to simply featuring randomly-shaped, nondescript landmasses below the clouds): the globe texture features altered landmasses such as one resembling Africa but featuring only the Sahara Desert and the southern half being missing, a large island to the northwest of the Sahara-like landmass, the Arabian Peninsula missing several large chunks, a landmass resembling Australia but rotated 90 degrees clockwise in the middle of a body of water resembling the Indian Ocean, and the northeastern portion of Russia being missing. However, other parts of the globe remain virtually unchanged, like those resembling most of Europe, the Indian subcontinent, Central and Southeast Asia, and Papua New Guinea.
* In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', a holographic globe can be seen inside Lysandre Labs. The globe features continents similar to the real Earth, implying that the planet's continents may probably look very similar to that of the real Earth, and that all of the known regions in the Pokémon world may actually in fact be smaller parts of a much larger landmass.
* In the TCG [[Secret Mission (Gym Heroes 118)]] card, the map in the background shows German occupied Poland during World War II: Warsaw is located right above Raichu's right ear, Białystok and Brest-Litowsk behind Lt. Surge, and the Silesian Border between Andreashütte and Festenberg right below Raichu's binoculars. The rivers Weichsel, Narew and Bug are also depicted.
* In the TCG [[Lucky Stadium (Neo Destiny 100)]] card, there is a promotional {{wp|New York City}} print with a {{p|Pichu}} and a {{p|Pikachu}} flying on a {{p|Charizard}} in New York City, with the {{wp|Empire State Building}} visible in the background.
* In the planetarium special ''[[Celestial Debris]]'', a map of the Pokémon world can be seen on a computer monitor. The map texture looks very similar to the one used to represent the planet in later Pokémon films, with three landmasses resembling North America, Europe, and eastern Russia all appearing upside down.

==Cinnibar==
It's quite possible that Cinnibar is a part of the Sevii Islands, as Midway Island, for instance, is technically a part of the Hawaiian chain. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 19:26, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::To anyone who wishes to edit this page so as to state that Hokkaido has been confirmed - learn Japanese beforehand and refrain from counting on unofficial web sites. CoroCoro only referred to Shin'ō as an island similar to Hoenn - that leaves Shikoku and Hokkaido. It is plain to see that the map, which has been largely revealed to us, takes the shape of Hokkaido. It is for this that some web sites such as Filb.de claim it to be based on Hokkaido as if it were confirmed.

:::Unlike Zhen Lin, I am absolutely confident in the veracity of Hokkaido. Even so, the correct wording is to be used at the very least until a full map has been obtained. Hoenn was confirmed to have been modeled after Kyūshū not long after Ruby and Sapphire had seen release. That said, Sevii Islands and Orre have thus far remained in the realm of speculation - but at least we have the resources provided by the games. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]]

== About the real world locations mentioned section... ==

some of these things just have to go. The Fantina dialogue thing doesn't really have anything to do with it since that only happened immediately before the battle, not when you first encounter her at the contest hall or after you beat her. Besides, she could have just been using a fake accent. I mean, [[Blue (Game)|Blue]] was using a french accent when he fought you on the St. Anne, and the last time I checked, he never visited France or anything, never spoke in that accent prior to it, and immediately dropped the accent right after you beat him. Also, i doubt that an Indian elephant should count towards a real world location (maybe real world animal, but definitely not a real world location.)

anyways, thats all for now.

~~Weedle Mchairybug~~

Actually Fantina says something about moving to Hearthrome(spelling might be wrong) City before the battle.I am not sure but I think that backs up that she is from France

~~Starfire~~

Just because she said that she moved to hearthrome city doesn't necessarily mean that she was from France. I mean, if she explicitly stated that she was from France (or canada, even), then yes, that would have merit. But she never really said where she moved from. she only gave a vague mention of another country. I mean, for all we know, she could have just as easily come from the Orange or sevii Islands (I think of the Sevii Islands as an entirely seperate place than an actual region considering how it and Kanto seem to have somewhat of a feud before you arrived that wouldn't be of this scale if it was a region.], or Heck, even Orre (they seemed to imply through a news report in colosseum that it has entirely different regions due to the fact that they mentioned that several regions were attacked by [[Shadow_Pokemon|Abnormal Pokemon]], and since Kanto/Johto/Hoenn never even referenced being attacked by them, that seems to imply that it is an entirely different country in and of itself.).

I mean if you wish, go ahead, but I just want to say that I'm not too sure about that. I mean, if she was explicitly said to have come from france (like the Trainer dex in Pokemon FRLG said about Lt. Surge [I don't count the "Lightning American" thing as evidence that he is American since Some of the Gym Leaders were given similar nicknames even though they really don't have any corollation with each other (Tomboyish Mermaid, Elegant Princess, among others comes to mind [Misty's not a mermaid because she doesn't have a fish tail, she doesn't sit on rocks to comb her hair {her hair is very short, anyways}, and she never really stated that she was a Mermaid or related to them. As for Erika, she never really said that she was related to any royal family.].).].) then, yes, Go on ahead.

But since she never really stated that she was from France (her speaking french doesn't count since 1. she seemed to be faking it since the only time she ACTUALLY spoke french was when you meet up with her, which she drops when she is close to losing, and 2. Even IF she was actually able to speak french, that doesn't mean she is from France. remember, Canada, Jamacia as well as some african countrys speak French as part of their language.), we shouldn't say that she was from France.

~~Weedle_McHairybug~~

== Regarding the map... ==

The map is veerrryyy wrong! It should be like this: http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/1206/japanforonceandforeverdz3.png
Or maybe this is clearer: http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/4092/japanys0.png
Please people, it's a common made mistake, but it isn't that hard to see, is it?

==Could someone update the map?==

Almia should be included, as it's attached to Sinnoh. {{unsigned|LynnCreed}}

no almia's place should not be part of the main map because it is just a side game. almia should be in a "side game's map". Maybe that small part will be part of another generation game! do you have absolute proof from the developers of the game? i think not! plus if there is no mention of the national pokedex, then almia is in a different nation. since the main games are one nation, most likely the geography is influenced by japan, there are no separate nations inside what is similar to japanese land. you cannot be too sure until it is 100% proven. plus almia is just a small area of land similar to most things to the world right now. it can be part of the area of northern africa and mediterranean sea. also the games state that they are far away from the main pokemon games. {{unsigned|Pipcrew}}

Is there a reason all this information is listed only here, and not on the locations individual pages? Personally I think it is relevant Trivia that, for instance, Mt. Silver is based on Mt. Fuji. [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 05:43, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

::True, but in some cases wouldn't you say it's relevant? For instance, Ecruteak City is based on Kyoto (not mentioned in Ecruteak's article at the moment), both cities are very old and have a lot of history. Kyoto is famous outside Japan- I'd hazard a guess at it being the second most well known Japanese city. Kyoto's history contributes to Ecruteak's role in the games. Wouldn't you say that's relevant? Violet City being based on Nara is, perhaps, less relevant, and wouldn't be very meaningful to most people using the wiki, so things like that perhaps could be skipped. But I definitely think that at least Mt. Silver/Fuji and Ecruteak/Kyoto are worth mentioning. I want to say something regarding Tokyo too, but the matter seems pretty complicated since there's no single Tokyo analogue.

::Also, just a passing thought, is it worth maybe mentioning the opposite- for places like Pacifidog town- that they are lacking in real world analogue? [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 04:59, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

==Regarding Hoenn==

Actually, I've done some of my own research into the correlation between Hoenn and its real-life counterpart and would like to argue that Rustboro is a much better candidate to counterpart with Fukuoka than Rustboro. The region (according to wikipedia which is the source I used) is known for its industrial and steel works, which seems pretty analogous to Rustboro's Devon Corp.

Also, Lavaridge matches up to Ōita much better than Fallabour. Ōita is closer to Beppu, the hotspring region. It's possible that whoever said Lavaridge was Aso got the two Hoenn Cities mixed up, because looking at the map of Kyushu, they're the other way around.

Kagoshima could possibly be Lilycove, as it's a bay city with a small round island in the port, which could be analogous to Mt. Pyre.

I'm not sure who wrote up the Hoenn cities part of the article, but I'd definitely argue that they didn't look closely enough at a map of Kyushu or of Hoenn, as some of them match up to other cities much better than the ones listed. Sorry to seem like a jerk, but I've done a LOT of reading online about this and it's too bad the Bulba article isn't better. I'll edit the article eventually, I'd just like a reply here first.
[[User:AutumnRain|AutumnRain]] 18:12, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

I know that the side games are more difficult to place, as far as true geographic regions go (if they even exist), but in the article itself, it mentions Orre as "[bearing] striking resemblance to the Gunma Prefecture of Japan in shape, which would place Orre north of Kanto and Johto."

we should keep a map of the side games separate from the map with the main games. side games are not really canon with the main games. {{unsigned|Pipcrew}}

:::lets just separate the maps then. the region on where the side game's area is on might be filled in by a later generation's region, the side game's region might not be in japan because they look like most other areas in the real world and the side region is not part of the main games. even though you can get manaphy in pokemon ranger does not mean that that game is canon. it just means that you can get manaphy from that game.

==Orre Section Revamp==
I'm sorry, but the section on Orre DEFINITELY needs work. so far it has only three locations listed, and those are listed with the presupposition that Orre is in fact based on a region of Japan. I did some research into Arizona and the surrounding area and found some more noticeable parallels.

Phenac City is obviously based on Phoenix, Arizona, for the reasons listed in the article already.

Mt. Battle could be based on Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona. While it's not a volcano like Mt. Battle, neither is the Gunma Prefecture of Japan a desert. That said, Humphreys Peak also lands in the right place relative to other locations.

Pyrite Town could be based on Yuma, Arizona, which formerly housed a large prison facility (which fits in with both the Pyrite Town jail and the high crime rate in that section of Orre).

Agate Village was hard to find, but I eventually settled on the little town of Oatman, Arizona. Oatman lies right along Route 66, and, as with many towns along that route, has seen better days. While it doesn't appear as fertile as Agate Village, I thought the history of this mountain town fit in with the fact that the population of Agate Village is mostly elderly, with the young moving to the cities instead.

In terms of locations from XD, I widened my search to include locations not specifically in Arizona. I placed Gateon Port at the well-known city of San Diego, California.

Citadark Isle seems to correspond with Isla Guadelupe, a volcanic island off the coast of Baja California.

I don't know how this should be incorporated into the article, but I do believe at least some of this information needs to go there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 15:12, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

:Yes, Gunma Prefecture isn't a desert, but then again, Floaroma Town isn't a flowerfield in real life, it is a desert. Anyways, I also don't recall Arizona being so barren that animals are even scarcer than water (which in Orre, apparently Pokémon actually are that scarce, at least in Colosseum.). I do doubt that it's near the Gunma Prefecture, but I also doubt that its supposed to be Arizona. Also, even going beyond Arizona, most of the locations don't match up. Citadark Island is on the opposite side of the real life location. Not to mention that San Diego isn't anywhere near that location. Maybe the old Colosseum map might have been based off of Arizona, but going by XD, it's not based off of Arizona or even the Southwestern United States/Mexican area, for that matter. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 22:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

::My bad about XD locations; I don't have the game, so it's hard to verify where they go (especially based on the few low quality Orre maps you can find). But nonetheless, the Orre section needs to change or be removed. The similarities listed are a real stretch (Outskirt Stand based on an archaeological site? I doubt it.), and besides, I thought Fiore's section was removed because it was a side game location. Should the same be done for Orre, perhaps with Phenac City moved to the section on non-Japanese influences? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 15:03, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

:::::Sorry for necro-posting here, but I think Foxsong's comparison image is correct, and it's about time Orre gets a proper update. The section currently up is assuming Mt. Battle is to the north, which would put the sea to the west, but when you flip Orre's map counter-clockwise, leaving Pheonix in the vicinity of Phenac, it actually matches up nearly perfectly with a section of Arizona and Mexico. Gateon Port is placed near Fondeport in San Felipe, Pyrite town is right between Los Vidrios (a road originally used for smuggling) and Sonoyta, an old mining town commonly used to cross the border illegally. Agate Village lands right around Yuma (A bustling desert town that used it's placement on the river to create vast farmland. Yuma was also originally inhabited for thousands of years by Native Americans, whose descendants still live in a reservation in Yuma, possibly inspiration for the elders of Agate. It's also right along the outskirts of Kofa Wildlife Refuge, where Mt. Battle lands, which has no volcanoes, but is a generally mountainous area. Also worth noting is that this places the Outskirt stand right around Black Canyon City, a small town north of Phoenix that was once a popular stop along the railway from Pheonix to Prescott. Furthermore, the home of 2 of the first inhabitants still stands as ruins that don't look unlike the rubble behind the train.

I like how it's been aligned so the regions look more like they do in the games, but technically Hoenn's box should be a lot bigger. That southwestern island chain includes such places as Naha (the inspiration for Ever Grande City), Yonaguni (the inspiration for the Sealed Chamber), and Yaebishi (the inspiration for Mirage Island). In other words, Game Freak curled that island chain around to compress the region into a smaller space, likely for gameplay reasons.

== some edits ==

As we are following Revised Hepburn as a standard for romanizations in listing the locations, "Oshima" (under Sevii Islands, Knot Island, prefecture) should be spelled "Ōshima", "Nakoudojima" (under Sevii Islands, Memorial Pillar, specific location) should be "Nakōdojima", and "Meiji no Mori Minoo" (under Johto, National Park, specific location) should be "Meiji no Mori Minō".

There is also "Chubu" (right under Johto) in stead of "Chūbu", "Honshu" (right under Hoenn) in stead of "Honshū", and "Hokkaido" (right under Sinnoh) in stead of "Hokkaidō", as well as a lot of other non-Hepburn romanizations in the comment section (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Oshima, Hokkaido, etc.) alongside the Hepburn ones (Kantō, Tōkaidō, Kyūshū, Hōryū-ji, etc.). I guess non-Hepburn is acceptable, as it is standard in everyday English use (mainly important cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto), but I think it would probably be better to choose either one.

== Hoenn ==

Having lived in Kyushu for about a year, I have gone around and visited some of the approximate locations that correlate with Hoenn. It would seem that the Kurokawa onsen town is correct for Lavaridge. It's southwest, at the base of Mt. Chimney, as Kurokawa Onsen is northwest in Kyushu.

Beppu seems to be the best match for Fallarbor town. The whole town is rife with geothermal activity with steam rising up all over the urban area. While it has hot springs like Aso town, there are also other forms of geothermal activity such as steam vents. Which I would assume the crater in Fallarbor is supposed to represent.

In terms of Meteor Falls, it appears that it isn't just one source of inspiration, but many. Oita prefecture is famous for both waterfalls and limestone caves. As inspiration for the cave setting, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Furen Cave. [http://www.furenshonyudo.jp/] So it would seem that Meteor Falls is a combination of both the waterfalls and limestone caves found in the Oita prefecture.

On a final note, it looks like Sootopolis City is shaped more like Yakushima Island. Ever Grande city is currently compared to Yakushima, but it seems inaccurate. As Yakushima is circular, and closer in relation to Sootopolis than Iwojima. Ever Grande city is shaped more like Okinawa Island when comparing the two. Just my two cents on what might need correction in the Hoenn section. And I'd be happy to know what everyone else thinks.

==Cerulean City RL Counterpart==
In the table featured within the article, Cerulean City is said to be based on the real world Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Saitama City was not officially a city until 2001, several years after the 1st generation games. Cerulean was a city before Saitama existed as a city.

While you could then say that Cerulean was based on what was to become Saitama City, the geographical locations don't match either. With Maebashi and Mt Akagi (Pewter and Mt Moon) being way up in Gunma Prefecture, the scale of the map is huge. As Cerulean is much further East, but no further South, to put it down in Saitama Prefecture at all seems like a gross misplacement. The real-world counterpart would be much further East.

This makes me think it's actually a city called Tsuchiura, in Ibaraki prefecture.

Aside from this being a far more likely and accurate geographical correlation, Tsuchiura has many other points of relevance for Cerulean. Tsuchiura is famous for its massive abundance of lotus root; these plants grow and bloom in man-made lagoons - they are floating blooms. Cerulean is also mentioned as a "seaside" city, despite not being quite as far East as the sea; Tsuchiura sits right next to lake Kasumigaura, the second biggest lake in Japan, and has a seaside feel as a result, despite, as with Cerulean, not being quite as far East as the actual sea. The area that joins onto Tsuchiura, to the North East, is called Kasumigaura, possibly the inspiration for the gym leader (Kasumi) Misty. Misty's gym is located towards the bottom of Cerulean City, and Tsuchiura also has a huge gymnasium, including a complex of swimming pools and water park type features, which is located towards the bottom of the city. There are a couple of rivers that run through Tsuchiura, the largest being the river Sakura. The trainer bridge could also potentially correspond to the bridge that links Kasumigaura with Kasumigaura Fureai Land, although this is a little more speculative.

I'm aware that I could be wrong, but a great many things do seem to fit, or show a heavy similarity of being a match of some kind. Feel free to agree or disagree, but let me know what your reasons are for doing so. [[User:Cloud210|Cloud210]] ([[User talk:Cloud210|talk]]) 11:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

== Sea Spirit's Den ==

I wanted some agreement on this before I changed it, but I think Sea Spirit's Den is actually based on {{wp|Alderney}} and not {{wp|Jersey}}. If you compare a map of the [http://www.lonelyplanet.com/maps/europe/channel-islands/map_of_channel-islands.jpg Channel Islands ] and [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/8a/Kalos_alt.png Kalos] I think you will see that the 2 bigger green ones are Jersey and Guernsey, the little one is Sark and Sea Spirit's Den is Alderney. It is probably worth noting that historically the islands were part of Normandy (Northern France).

Another thing, it says that Jersey is part of the UK, this isn't correct. Jersey (and the other channel islands) have a complex relationship with the UK but they do not form part of it. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_dependencies This page] has more info on this. [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - I don't what to put here.]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 09:45, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

== edit war ==

You may have noticed the edit war between myself and Ratchet and Clank 1995, he/she is wrong. {{wp|British Islands}} is a legal term that unambiguously refers to the UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey (the latter two are collectively the Channel Islands), as the wiki article says. He/she is right that the Channel Islands are not part of Great Britain/UK, which is why I changed it from UK to British Islands in the first place. (Originally he said he changed it because they were not part of the {{wp|British Isles}}, he/she may be right geographically but the term british isles is often used to include the channel islands)

While they are not technically part of the UK, Channel Islands are still 'British'. The inhabitants are entitled to a British passport, the queen is head of state, and the UK has responsibility for the defence and international representation of the islands. This is note worthy because they are the only non-French part of Kalos (although historically the islands were part of Normandy - Northern France). However, due to complicated reasons, it is incorrect to say they are part of the UK. 'British Islands' may be an unusual term, but it is correct and conveys that they are British without getting into complicated politics.

== Snowbelle ==

Likening Snowbelle City to Grenoble seems pretty unlikely as Grenoble is further south than Lyon, which is commonly accepted to be Kiloude City. It seems a lot more likely that Snowbelle is supposed to be Besançon or one of the surrounding cities such as Montbéliard, Dole or Lons-Le-Saunier, considering the region is known for cross-country skiing in the Jura mountains as well as freezing weather in the winter (the region of Jura is sometimes affectionately called "Little Siberia"). The general location fits, as well. [[User:Rappy28|Rappy28]] ([[User talk:Rappy28|talk]]) 17:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
:I was the person to link Kiloude City to Lyon and I still believe this to be correct, one reason why I linked it was the fact that Lyon is just slightly North of the Gironde estuary which its Pokémon counterpart can be seen on the Kalos map so they seem to match. You have made a valid point that Grenoble is too far south so I agree with you and that Snowbelle cannot possibly be based on Grenoble's location. I would say go ahead and change Grenoble to Besançon as it does seem to fit and the fact that it's called "Little Siberia" could go in the notes section as it actually seems relevant.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 18:39, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

== Kenya ==

I'm tired of seeing all of you edit warring over something so small without anyone bothering to open a discussion, so instead I'm starting a discussion on it. Personally, I don't see the problem with adding something on the end along the lines of "Kenya is also the name of a mountain in the country of Kenya, Mount Kenya, from which the country derives its name." I don't think it would hurt to add a small line on like that, especially considering that it is in fact where the name originates. Yes, the Spearow is probably named after the country, but the country itself is named after the mountain. '''[[User:Slimey01|slimey]][[User talk:Slimey01|01]]''' 13:32, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
:There was a discussion, on my talk page, where I clearly said that the country is the most likely reference.

I've already made it clear, but Ratchet is just being stubborn.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:14, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
::To point out even more, 4 users total were involved in the discussion, with 3 of the 4 agreeing that the country is the first (if not only) thing most people would think of.

:::::::Thinking about it, after all of this discussion you have only been able to say it is "most likely the country" and haven't provided any evidence to say that it actually certainly does mention the country. As there is no certain way of knowing whether it actually mentions the country it should be left out because the Spearow just has a nickname which has been a name in the USA since the 1960s whereas all of the other points has a character actually say a place. By this logic of "most likely" couldn't we say Ash's Charizard is most likely male because of its relationship with Charla and the fact that homosexual and bisexual Pokémon have not been confirmed to exist in the anime. If we go by that logic Charizard's page should just say it's male. Ask random Pokémon fans what gender they think Charizard is and they probably all think male. This site seems to have it both ways in the case of genders it has to be explicitly stated whereas in this instance it doesn't it's just a name the guard didn't say that he named it after the country. I really don't see any difference but you admins have it both ways when it suits you,

Why don't you drop it and just allow the point to be removed because it doesn't add much to the page and it doesn't actually mention it as it's only a name that has been used since the 1960s so they could have just called it Kenya.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 08:49, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

== Anville Town ==

I noticed under the Unova section nobody put the equivalent to Anville Town. There's nothing much to actually do in Anville, but I believe there still has to be a real-life counterpart to it. I was speaking with my mother about this, and she grew up in Queens so she knows New York and Northern New Jersey like the back of her hand. I grew up in Bergen County, so I know a bit about it too. I asked her exactly what Anville Town would be based off of based upon its location, and we came to the conclusion that it is the equivalent to Morristown, NJ. Morristown is known for its train station and one of its stops transits right into the 59th Street's station (which is what Nimbasa is based off of).
Yay or nay? {{unsigned|MeruNoUta}}

== Spear Pillar ==

Mt. Asahi is the highest peak in Hokkaido, as Spear Pillar is the highest peak in Sinnoh. Mt. Asahi's location relative to the rest of Hokkaido is also close to Spear Pillar's location relative to the rest of Sinnoh. Can I say that Spear Pillar was based on Mt. Asahi? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 19:38, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
:This is a change I was going to suggest as well. Based on Mt. Coronet's layout as you near the peak and what you can see of the surrounding terrain, Mt. Asahi looks to be a very close match to Spear Pillar. It's also in the correct geographical position, and it works uncannily well in locating the Sinjoh Ruins (or at least where ''I'' think they are).

== Decolore Islands ==

I noticed that the region hasn't been added yet, along with the Orange Islands. As a resident of Connecticut, I believe the the Decolore Islands are most likely based on the Thimble Islands. They are located close to New York, the area Unova itself is based on. Additionally, many of the Decolore Islands are not populated and instead used as nature preserves, similar to the major university-owned Thimble Islands used for ecological studies. However, a few islands in the Thimbles are built up considerable, such as Money Island. This is similar to the Unnamed Island in BW138. [[User:Manqoba|Manqoba]] ([[User talk:Manqoba|talk]]) 15:31, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
:With all due respect, I think your perception of likelihood may be influenced by home-state bias. Looking at a map, the Thimble Islands hug Connecticut ''very'' closely, far from the border with New York, and ''very'' far from any part of New York that Unova is based on. I think this is a case of confirmation bias, sorry. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:21, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

== Oblivia ==

Assuming that Oblivia is in fact based on the Oki Island, here is what I believe to be the relation:

== Blackthorn City, Dragon's Den and Ice Path ==

Northeastern Johto is not an easy area to pin down, but I think I've found something that accurately depicts the Blackthorn area. I can tell people have already made a significant effort to locate these places, so I don't want to make any changes to their contributions without talking about them first.

First off, I don't think there's much significance between Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, and the suggested Dragon's Den, Mt. Ibuki. Ibuki means "breath", and is often associated with a strong will, impulsive behavior and over-sensitivity; this seems to fit Clair pretty well. In GSC, the TM she awards you with is Dragonbreath, or Ryu-no-ibuki in the JP version, another possible origin of her name. I'm sorry, but I'm really starting to doubt her name was inspired by the mountain believed to have the had the world's heaviest snowfall in recorded history, so I don't think there's much supporting that mountain as the location of Dragon's Den. However, given the mountain's close proximity to "Mahogany" and "Lake of Rage" and its own icy history, I think it's a strong candidate for the entrance to Ice Path.

The next thing I want to critique is the Blackthorn-Shirakawa theory. The main thing that made me look into this is that Shirakawa is significantly far away from where you'd expect to find it relative to the other locations we've found, and unlike the the questionable relationship between Cherrygrove/Violet, Shirakawa is also very far away from every other location we've found (it's the most isolated location in all of real-world Johto/Kanto to date). Additionally, Shirakawa is famous for its nearly-uniform gasshō-zukuri, but these designs aren't reflected in Blackthorn's new buildings even though Violet and Ecruteak received makeovers that match Nara and Kyoto.

Okay, now for my suggestions. I think Blackthorn is Kai/Kofu, Yamanashi; Ice Path (exit) is the oft-hypothesized Narusawa Ice Cave, Yamanashi; and Dragon's Den is Kanazakura-jinja Shrine, Yamanashi.

My first lead came when I saw a "Did You Know" on the Smash Bros series; during development the first game was called "Dragon King: Fighting Game" and featured a striking picture of a low-rise neighborhood with Mt Fuji (Mt Silver) in the background. The video claimed the game's name came from that neighborhood, which just so happened to be where HAL Laboratory was located, and that the picture was taken by a certain programmer I'll name later. This all piqued my interest, so I started digging. The town's name was Ryūō, with a population around 40,000 (right on the low end of other towns believed to inspire other towns up to this point), and it was merged with several other towns into Kai in 2004 (after the release of GSC). Geographically, it's a strong match for Blackthorn, surrounded by mountains and with Fuji standing prominently to its Southeast; the biggest issue is that it's tightly clustered with a number of significant cities. Then I zoomed out, and I realized the broader Kofu basin is a very close match to the birds-eye view shape of Blackthorn (use Earth mode to make this more apparent). According to legend, the Kofu basin used to be a lake until Kami pushed on of the mountains aside and the lake drained to the south; this southerly river-valley is clearly visible from a map and could explain the river in Blackthorn and Route 45 in HGSS.

Okay, so Dragon's Den. Kanazakura-jinja Shrine is just north of Kai, it prominently features a pair of dragons, the "rising and falling dragons", and one carries a fire crystal and the other a water crystal. The translations from their website are a little wonky, but it sounds like these dragons symbolize the reconstruction of the main shrine after it collapsed in a 1953 fire (there's also some visible damage to the Den in HGSS), with the dragons drawing attention to fire above and water below. Rising and falling dragons, fire above/water below... I think this symbolism is an interesting parallel to Dragon's Den and the lava-filled Gym located directly above it, and what was the name of that Gym's badge? Rising. Also, the Shrine wasn't all that burned; most of the Kofu basin was destroyed in a night-time air raid in 1945. Combined, these fires may have inspired Blackthorn's name, Fusube, or black smoke.

Anyone who's still reading has probably already encountered the idea that Narusawa Ice Cave corresponds to Ice Path, so I'll just say Kai/Kofu is sandwiched neatly between the Cave and the Shrine. Also, an Ibuki/Naursawa fused Ice Path may serve as a "portal" of sorts to cover the long distance between Koka/Mahogany and Kai.

Finally, earlier I mentioned HAL's R&D center in Kai and a certain programmer. We know that GameFreak has a habit of featuring themselves in the Pokemon games, but what about guest programmers? Well, HAL may not have worked on GSC directly, but their then-president did! Satoru Iwata famously helped development along through graphical compression (he's directly attributed with freeing up enough space on the cartridges to add the Kanto region to the games), so where might he be in Blackthorn? The Move Deleter, of course! Iwata freed up space on the carts, the MD frees up space on your Pokemon; considering everything else, I find this to be more than mere coincidence.

Any one of these location changes might not be very persuasive on their own, but I think they're pretty compelling when taken altogether. What do you guys think about these possible changes in our listed locations?[[User:Areku|Areku]] ([[User talk:Areku|talk]]) 07:29, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

== Lake Valor ==

The article currently says that Lake Valor is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Kussharo Lake Kussharo], which is closer to Abashiri (Veilstone) than Kushiro (Pastoria). However, I think the lake might be based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Akan Lake Akan]. Although Lake Akan is much smaller and doesn't have the same shape (round with an island in the middle), its location corresponds to Lake Valor's location much better than Lake Kussharo, and there is a small resort village on its southern shore.

== Azoth Kingdom and England or Italy ==

In the design of the Azoth Kingdom, there are elements that refer to the industrial revolution and Steampunk design, if we take into account that Volcanion is based in part on a steam engine, which was created in England, it would be possible for the Azoth Kingdom it was near north north of Kalos or in England itself.

But if we take into account that Nikola is based on Da Vinci, the kingdom could be on the border between Kalos and some equivalent to Italy in the Pokemon World.

== Galar Region ==

So the Galar Region has just been announced for Pokemon Sword and Shield, and I know there were rumours before the announcement that it would be based off of the UK, so as a Briton myself, I've tried to verify that/match the locations. The industrial and farming focus definitely suits the UK, and I can see a structure that looks like the Palace of Westminster in the Icy Northern City, suggesting the island is flipped North to South (and possible East-West as well).

Based on this, looking at the red-brick city in which the starters are shown, with its industrial nature, canal leading to the sea and bordering mountains, I think that it represents Manchester, which would mean that the city by the wall where the ice starts would be Birmingham, although none of it's features match.

It's also possible the city on the sea is Liverpool, due to being on the coast between Manchester and Birmingham.

The industrial City being Manchester also fits with the lakes South of it, which would represent the Lake District
These cities would suggest that the region represents just England, rather than the whole of the UK.

Just some preliminary ideas, we shall have to wait for more information before confirming anything. {{unsigned|ZiggyAngelo8}}

:Well here is some information I've tried to put but Wiki-maniacs here can't live with them until they are officially confirmed(like we ever needed official confirmation anyway) :P

: Personally, I think that if Edinburgh were in the game, Edinburgh Castle would feature somehow, and additionally, if the red-brick city were to be based on a Scottish city, it's more likely to be Glasgow, which is both bigger than Edinburgh and more associated with industry.

: Having said this, I still believe that the region only represents England, as a lack of landmarks resembling Aberdeen or Inverness would mean that, if Scotland is included, it's only half of it, which would be a strange decision; furthermore, if the red-brick city were Glasgow, that would mean virtually all of England, 60% of Great Britain, would be condensed into about 1/4 of the region. {{unsigned|ZiggyAngelo8}}

Also, I had theorised that the fairy town by the big wall could be representative of Nottingham and Sherwood Forest, as this is near the Birmingham Metropolitan Area in real life, which still seems likely as the walled grey city. {{unsigned|ZiggyAngelo8}}

So, location and concept wise, it's probably just referencing the various construction projects always going on in that area. Most notably, the West Side Freight Yards/Hudson Yards which right now, since 2012, is a huge construction project to turn train yards of southwest midtown into a town with residential housing and offices. But, before that (and while B/W was in development), it was a big, open, dusty railyard with constant construction going on with the only notable tourist spot being the javits center, similar to how the relic castle is said to be a popular tourist spot.

== Kalos Pokémon League is based on Notre Dame ==

It was weird not to see a Pokémon-ified Notre-Dame cathedral in Lumiose City, especially when Notre-Dame such an iconic French icon.

So, the Kalos Pokemon League might not be based on the Nancy Cathedral (I'm curious about why that was chosen), but rather the Eastern facade (side) of the Notre-Dame cathedral, as viewed from the La Fontaine de la Vierge (with some elements, like the "dome-like structures" on the front of the league building, coming from other gothic-era cathedrals). Both the Kalos Pokémon League and the eastern facade of Notre-Dame feature fence-like things on their roofs, numerous {{wp|Flying Buttress|flying buttresses}} (Notre-Dame and the Pokemon League building have flying buttresses that connect to four small towers that are in similar positions; the Kalos league takes some artistic libetries and includes some higher, upside-down "flying buttresses" around the front of the main spire), there are also two areas to the side of the Pokemon League that could also correspond to the northern and southern part of Notre-Dame's {{wp|Transept|transept}} (the sides of the building that jut out from the main part of the building and houses two of Notre-Dame's famous {{wp|Notre-Dame_de_Paris#Stained_glass_—_rose_windows|rose windows}}; the same kind of window architecture that composes the floor of the Elite Four and Champion's chambers), the door that leads into the Pokemon League that has the three circles (that kind of look like an upside-down Mickey Mouse head) features a similar design on the arched windows along the bottom of Notre-Dame, and the Pokemon League has a spire on the center of the main building similar to how Notre-Dame also sports a spire on the converging point of the transept and the main building.

It might be a bit of a stretch, but the four '''big''' towers (not including the spire on top, and yes, there are four; if you move around you can barely see the red roofs of the two other towers behind the two front towers) that are located near the transept of the Pokemon League building may be based on Notre-Dame's bell towers, but more research might need to go into the the inspirations behind those towers.

== Sprout Tower and Floaroma Town's motif is Kōfukuji Temple and Biei Town. ==

Kōfukuji is on North East of Nara. Same location with Sprout Tower.
But Hōryūji is on South West of Nara.
And Kōfukuji is famous of Five Storied Pagoda, which is second biggest wooden Pagoda in Japan.
Also, Shikisainooka in Biei Town is famous of great flower garden.
And Snowpoint City's motif is Wakkanai City. not Hamatonbetsu Town.

== Galar's Real Life Locations ==

Galar is the island of Great Britain flipped around soto look at it from the north southwards, with some of the landmarks moved around, for examples...

* The Scottish Highlands are located where Southern England is supposed to be.
* The Manchester City is where Newcastle should be
* The Birmingham City is where Manchester should be
* Liverpool (The snowy city) is where North Wales is

But apart from those minor changes, the location of others are still accurate...

* Kilburn has a Hill Figure of a horse, despite the design being based on that found in Southern England.
* Blackpool, despite having a Lighthouse instead of a Tower, although Fleetwood nearby has Lighthouses.
* Buxton/Peak District and Sherwood Forest/Nottingham seems accurate enough to me.
* The rows of houses could be Southport by basing the locations on geography.
* The Wild Area, although where Southern Scotland is, seems to be more based on the Lake District National Park, which is a major tourist hotspot with it's lakes and mountains.

It's also to note, one of the names of a lake in the E3 showcase in Treehouse Live has ''South'' written, and it's the nearest to the Manchester City and Wall. The wall could be inspired from Hadrian's Wall which is located around where Newcastle is.

== The Wild Area is the Lake District ==

I just thought I let you know that, as it is a very popular tourist attraction, especially for Japanese and Chinese tourists. From the E3 showcase, the following areas within the place are as follows...

* South Lake Milock - Located close to the railway bridge and wall to Manchester City (Lake Windermere)
* Rolling Fields
* East Lake Axewell - Located close to the entrance to Manchester City (Derwent Water)

== Anville Town and Gear Station ==

I would like to dispute the current real world equivalents of Anville Town and Gear Station.
The Unova Subway System's routes are not based on the actual New York Subway system, since the New York subway system doesn't leave New York City, while the Unova system connects the entire region. The Unova Subway System's lines are instead a combination of New Jersey Transit and Metro North, which do link the outlying areas to the central city. Once you understand this, it becomes relatively easy to find the equivalent for Anville Town. From my research, I have come to the conclusion that Anville town is most likely based on Port Jervis, New York. Anville Town is best known for its roundhouse and roundtable at the end of the line. Port Jervis's roundhouse burned in the 1970s, but its roundtable still stands and can be seen on Google Maps [https://www.google.com/maps/@41.3764071,74.6949081,3a,75y,53.27h,94.76t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipMaHhCbuKlMZ7tKg0wbtYUw7KghV4xpZ5c576dh!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMaHhCbuKlMZ7tKg0wbtYUw7KghV4xpZ5c576dh%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi0-ya244.97389-ro-0-fo100!7i8704!8i4352 Erie Railroad Roundhouse Turntable - Google Maps]. Port Jervis is also in the correct place geographically, being more northern and far away when compared to any of the other real life locations that Unova cities were based on. Port Jervis’s position on the train lines is also incredibly similar to Anville Town’s position on the in-game subway lines, being at the end of a northern New Jersey Transit/Metro North line. These factors lead me to believe that Anville Town is based on Port Jervis.
Although Morristown has been proposed as the real life inspiration for Anville Town, I believe there are flaws in that argument. The comparison between the two towns is based on Anville Town being known for its train station, when in actuality, its roundhouse and roundtable are its distinguishing features, with its station only consisting of a small platform and benches. Morristown does not have a roundhouse or roundtable, while Port Jervis had both. Moreover, Morristown is located southwest of New York City, while Anville Town is located northwest of Nimbasa City. The other argument, that Morristown's train station connected to the 59th Street Station in New York, proves deeply flawed on closer examination. For starters, there is no evidence that the station in Morristown ever connected to the station at 59th Street. Secondly, the station at 59th street is a subway station, which does not connect to the train line running out of Morristown's station. Third, I see no reason why the 59th Street Station would have been the basis for Gear Station anyway. While the station at 59th Street does connect many subway lines, it does not connect all of them, unlike Gear Station. Gear Station is much more likely to be an amalgamation of Penn Station and Grand Central Station. Those are the principal stations in New York where all of the train lines of New Jersey Transit and Metro North end up. This is similar to how Gear Station connects all of Unova's subway lines. Architecturally, one can also see the similarities between the entrances of the old Penn Station, Grand Central, and Gear Station. This would also make sense if we are to believe that the Unova Subway’s lines was actually based on these train lines instead of the New York Subway system.

== National Park and Pokeathalon Dome ==

:After sifting through Johto's routes relative to irl Japan, I noticed 2 things I think are worth considering. One is that, I'm almost convinced the National Park is actually based in part on Osaka castle's surrounding park. The fountain and circular plaza are identical, though, admittedly, most circular plazas could pass for that. The second is that I'm positive the Pokeathalon Dome is based on Maishima Sports Island. The island is famous for it's absolutely bonkers sports domes, and it's placement is right off the coast of Osaka in the bay, in just the same spot where Pokeathalon Dome is off of Route 35.

== Driftveil Drawbridge ==

I think it should be added to the notes section that the Driftveil drawbridge takes inspiration from the golden gate bridge. while yes the bridge correlates with the lincoln tunnel it is very clearly not a tunnel and is a bridge. While not exact, the two look eerily similar they are very close in color and style. I honestly feel Nintendo/Gamefreak were going in that direction when designing the bridge because they really wanted to represent America in these games because they were the first games set outside Japan and in America, and I'd argue that the golden gate bridge is not only a San Francisco icon but also an American icon as well. Plus they have drawn inspiration in BW/B2W2 from outside the new york metro area like Lentimas town whereas it's not Santa Fe, but definitely draws inspiration from it, so I don't think it being all the way in California matters. Unless there is some other bridge that more closely resembles the Driftveil bridge, or it is a completely made up designed and just coincidently resembles the golden gate, then I'd say there is a strong case for it being inspired by the golden gate bridge.[[User:Wisteriavines11|Wisteriavines11]] ([[User talk:Wisteriavines11|talk]]) 08:29, 23 September 2020 (UTC) Wisteriavines11

== Newmoon Island and Fullmoon Island ==

As the page currently reads, it is:

- Fullmoon Island = Rishiri Island

- Newmoon Island = Rebun Island

But looking at the maps of both Sinnoh and Hokkaido over and over again, I can't help but feel it should be the other way around.

E.g.

- Newmoon Island is the island closest to the shore which would be Rishiri Island and not Rebun Island.

- Fullmoon Island os furthest from the shore which would be Rebun Island and not Rishiri Island.

Am I missing something or am I right in that the corresponding islands should be the other way around.

Edit: Here is a (fanmade) map that confirms my understanding - for what it is worth.

== Burned Tower and Bell Tower ==

The article links the Bell Tower and Burned Tower with the Kinkaku-ji and Ginkaku-ji respectively, but it seems like it is likely a combination of those and Tō-ji and Sai-ji.

The Burned Tower was equal in height (and paired with) the Bell Tower, before it burned down and was not rebuilt.

Sai-ji and Tō-ji were built in 796 as a pair, and in the 9th century pagodas were built (which might be the inspiration for the tower part of the towers. Sai-ji burned down in 990, and again in 1233, and was then abandoned and not rebuilt. Tō-ji still exists. Both, like the Kinkaku-ji and Ginkaku-ji, are also located in Kyoto.

== M16 world map image ==

The "Real-world locations mentioned" section includes this bullet point:

* Starting with the sixteenth movie, each Pokémon movie features a recurring globe texture in the intro used to represent the Pokémon world (as opposed to simply featuring randomly-shaped, nondescript landmasses below the clouds): the globe texture features altered landmasses such as one resembling Africa but featuring only the Sahara Desert and the southern half being missing, a large island to the northwest of the Sahara-like landmass, the Arabian Peninsula missing several large chunks, a landmass resembling Australia but rotated 90 degrees clockwise in the middle of a body of water resembling the Indian Ocean, and the northeastern portion of Russia being missing. However, other parts of the globe remain virtually unchanged, like those resembling most of Europe, the Indian subcontinent, Central and Southeast Asia, and Papua New Guinea.

Having checked myself I cannot find the image they are referencing. It's possible that the movie numbering is wrong, given the date of the edit (11 June 2021) they could have meant M20 (can't find the movie to check).
Can anyone provide an image? If not this should probably be removed.

:I skimmed through M20's intro, and found no such globe. I did the same for M21 and M23 and no globes were present in either. (I skipped M22 because it is more or less a shot-for-shot remake of M01, which had no globe) I did, however, find a globe at the very end of M20, but it featured no discernible landmasses. It's very much possible they either:

== Possible Error for National Pokedex in Gen3 R/S ==

I am fairly certain that in Ruby and Sapphire, Ho-Oh and Lugia are required to "complete" the national pokedex (even though those Pokemon cannot be caught in this generation on any GBA games.)
Source: I have the original Nintendo Power strategy guide for FireRed/LeafGreen, and it specifically has a paragraph on pg.25 taking about how Ho-Oh and Lugia are required in R/S but not in FR/LG. Of course, it could be an error, but they go out of their way to point this out.

{{incomplete|needs=non-blue pentagon Diplomas from XY and scans of printed Yellow without Mew/Gold/Silver diplomas}}
[[File:Diploma SwSh.png|thumb|250px|A certificate given after completing the Galar Pokédex (Pokémon Sword and Shield)]]
The '''diploma''' or '''certificate'''{{sup/8|SwSh}} (Japanese: '''{{tt|賞状|しょうじょう}}''' ''honorable certificate'') is an item awarded in almost all [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] for completing various modes of the [[Pokédex]]. It is obtained from [[Game Freak]]'s lead developer after the player has completed their Pokédex.

The only games in which the player cannot earn a diploma are [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

==History==
In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, there is only one diploma in the game, awarded for completing the Pokédex. From [[Generation III]] to {{gen|VI}}, there is one diploma awarded for completing the [[regional Pokédex]] and a second for completing the [[National Pokédex]].

In {{g|X and Y}}, a total of five diplomas are awarded: one for capturing every Pokémon in each of the [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]], one for obtaining all of those three diplomas, and one for completing the National Pokédex. These diplomas are different if the player completed their Pokédex only with {{DL|origin mark|blue pentagon}} Pokémon.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, an additional Diploma can be received if the player shows the Game Freak lead developer a Pokémon that was originally caught in either {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} or {{game|Emerald}}; unlike most diplomas, this one is customized according to the Pokémon shown to the developer, with its Generation III sprite appearing in the bottom-left corner.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, instead of a diploma, the player is given stamps on their {{ga|Trainer Card}} for completing the various regional Pokédexes. There is no reward for catching all the Pokémon as of this generation, likely because the National Pokédex is not obtainable in these games. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player can receive a diploma from the director for completing their Kanto Pokédex; due to only Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex existing in these games, there is no diploma for completing the National Pokédex.

==Acquisition==
===Location===
In all games in which [[Celadon Condominiums]] appears, the Game Freak lead developer is located in the Game Freak headquarters there. In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, he is located in the Game Freak building in [[Castelia City]].

In games in which a Game Freak building is not present, he is on vacation and found in some kind of temporary accommodation.
* In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he is on the top floor of [[Cove Lily Motel]] in [[Lilycove City]].
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, he is in the north-westernmost house in the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] at the [[Valor Lakefront]].
* In {{g|X and Y}}, he is in the {{DL|Coumarine City|Hotel Coumarine}} in [[Coumarine City]].
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, he is in the western {{DL|Circhester|Hotel Ionia}} building in [[Circhester]].
** In [[The Isle of Armor]] and [[The Crown Tundra]], a female {{tc|Doctor}} who upgrades the Pokédex in the [[Armor Station|Armor]] and [[Crown Tundra Station]]s rewards the player with the respective Diplomas instead.

===Pokédex completion===
For a Pokédex to be considered complete, the player must have owned all Pokémon in that Pokédex (except a select few Pokémon). In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, to complete the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], the player only needs to have seen all the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex, not own them.

[[Mythical Pokémon]] (including {{p|Phione}}) are not usually required to qualify for diplomas; however, in {{game|Platinum}} seeing {{p|Manaphy}} is required to obtain the Sinnoh Pokédex Diploma, and in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} owning {{p|Deoxys}} is required to obtain the National Pokédex Diploma.

In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, owning {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} is not required to complete any Pokédex. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, due to a bug, {{p|Chikorita}} is not required to complete the National Pokédex.

==Function==
The diploma is not an [[item]] as it is not added to the {{player}}'s [[Bag]]; to view it after obtaining it, the player must talk to said lead developer again. In {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{g|X and Y}}, the diploma is instead sent to the player's [[Player's house|bedroom]] for display. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the diploma can be hung on the wall of the player's [[Secret Base]].

In {{game|Yellow}}, {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it is possible to print out a copy of the diploma using a [[Game Boy Printer]]. The printout displays additional graphics in the bottom half of the diploma which cannot be otherwise seen. Interestingly, in Yellow, the image only visible on the printout includes Mew, despite Mew not being necessary to obtain the diploma.

Trainer Card level

2021-12-26T03:35:24Z

Knowitall: /* Details */

{{incomplete|section|Sword and Shield information}}
[[File:Trainer Card XY Green.png|thumb|250px|The green Trainer Card in {{g|X and Y}}]]
The '''Trainer Card level''' is a property of a {{ga|Trainer Card}} indicating how many major in-game tasks the {{player}} has completed that was introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and appear in all [[Generation III]], {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|V}}, {{gen|VI}}, and {{gen|VIII}} games. The required events, such as entering the [[Hall of Fame]] or [[Gotta catch 'em all!|completing]] the [[Pokédex]], can be completed in any order and vary by game. Upon increasing the level of a Trainer Card, it will immediately change color; the player does not need to check their Trainer Card for the change to take effect. In the Generation III and IV games, the Trainer Card level is additionally indicated by a number of stars on the card itself.

Though the achievements and colors differ slightly between Ruby and Sapphire, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, and {{v2|Emerald}}, when linked players view each other's cards the color will be consistent for Generation III games—a Trainer from FireRed and LeafGreen with one star will be said to all players to have a Green card, while a Trainer from Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald with one star will be said to all players to have a Bronze card. In the Generation IV games, however, color is consistent from the point of view of the game: a Trainer from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} who has three stars will be seen as a Silver card from the point of view of {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, although from HeartGold and SoulSilver's perspective the Trainer Card is a Violet card. Likewise, the Sinnoh [[Badge]] case, if the Trainer Card viewed is that of a HeartGold or SoulSilver game, will always be empty.

Although the Trainer Card levels are for the most part aesthetic, certain NPCs like the [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] [[Pokémon Center Nurse#HeartGold and SoulSilver|change their greetings]] to acknowledge the player's achievement of obtaining 4 or 5 stars.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], the player's Trainer Passport is [[Trainer Card (game)#Stamps|stamped]] instead, marking not just major milestones in their [[island challenge]], but milestones as a Trainer similar to those tracked in previous games.

Talk:Version-exclusive Pokémon

2021-12-12T22:50:57Z

Knowitall: /* Lycanroc in Gen VII */ new section

<big><big><big>Hey guys!</big></big></big>

Remember how this page used to be about how certain Pokémon were ''missing'' from certain games, and how it confused the hell out of everyone? Yes? Well, thanks to [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|The Trom]]'s efforts, we've hopefully fixed that. The page now lists Pokémon and marks which versions they are or aren't available in. For more information, check out [[/Archive1#How about this?|this discussion]]. ---[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 12:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

==Archives==
*[[/Archive1|Archive 1]] (discussions from before the switch/October 5, 2006 – January 4, 2009)

==New discussion==
Looks good but even the ''not available'' boxes for the mystery dungeons link to the pages.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 16:43, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
:That was a design technique of {{u|Jioruji Derako}}. It's the same for all boxes on this page. Available or not available, they all link to the page. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 21:07, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
::Coulda' sworn it wasn't like that before but if they're all like that then it's OK. Some other templates that use a similar system might have to be changed though. (ie. Move Tutors)--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 23:23, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== G instead of B ==

Anyone have any problems with it as it is? The note is clear enough that Green means US Blue and Blue means the Japanese one? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
:This is great. The entire article is 100x better. The design just feels more welcoming. I'm ashamed I didn't think of this style before. As for the G/B thing, I think it's rather clear. [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 15:54, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

== Emerald safari zone vs. Birds and Regis in Pt ==

Why is it we have the Emerald safari zone ones outside of the table, yet for certain Pokémon in Platinum, we mention them when both groups require the national dex?--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 22:02, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
:We can blame me for that. Because of the approx. 30 Emerald exclusives, I decided just to list them, or the table would be larger than the warnings previously here. Platinum didn't have as many exclusives as Emerald so I put them in the table. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 08:46, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

== Possible other tables ==

It might be helpful to have a table to show Pokemon completely unavailable in certain generations without trading with other generations (e.g. Mewtwo for Generation II, or Larvitar for Generation III). Perhaps even a table of those Pokemon to appear in every version of the game without trading might be interesting, if somewhat less useful. I admit, I can't really be bothered to do this myself at the moment, but I could later. [[User:Idantlol|Idantlol]] 22:25, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
:The reason we haven't got these listed (particularly for Gen III) is because of the sheer amount of Pokemon excluded in the Hoenn games (see [[HDex]]). And typically, starters and legnedaries cannot be obtained in other games than their originals. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 06:17, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
::Even so, it isn't an impossible task to list 186 pokemon (if we include Jirachi and Deoxys). If the worst comes to the worst, you could just make a separate page for it. As it is, it can be quite a hassle finding information on where some pokemon are actually found. [[User:Idantlol|Idantlol]] 18:07, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

== Seedot in Sapphire and Lotad in Ruby? ==
The article claims the following: ''"Surskit can be found in Pokémon Emerald, but only when the TV says they're swarming somewhere. Through the same way, Lotad and Seedot can be found in Ruby and Sapphire, respectively."'' The second doesn't seem right to me. I have played pokémon Sapphire for over 700 hours (I know, call me lifeles) and I have never met any Seedot swarm through the tv (I did see surskit and skitty swarms however). Also I looked it up on internet and I didn't find any info about seedot being catchable in Sapphire or Lotad in ruby. Even great sites like serebii.net never mention it and just say that the only way to get seedot in sapphire and lotad in ruby is by trading them from the other version. [[User:Mijzelffan|Mijzelffan]] 17:55, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
:You need to mix records with someone from the other game. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 02:47, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
::I have done that like fifty times with ruby players, sapphire players and emerald players. Can't someone upload a screenshot or a link to a video for evidence or something? [[User:Mijzelffan|Mijzelffan]] 11:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

== HG/SS Version Exclusives ==

Hey I was browsing around the Net and Serebii just made a list of the version exclusive Pokémon. I don't know set the chart of them up. Could omeone do it, or tell me how? ♪♪[[User:ShinyPachirisu|Shiny]] [[User Talk:ShinyPachirisu|Pachirisu]] :) ♪♪ 19:44, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Any news if they are going to pull the American swith-a-roo with Phanpy and Teddiursa like in Generation II?[[User:Zabbethx|Zabbethx]] 21:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
:None yet. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 21:24, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

== Generation II: Japanese or American list? ==

The Gen II section opens with a comment explaining that the Pokémon exclusive to either Gold or Silver are reversed between version when you compare the Japanese to the American. However, it doesn't point out which nation's list is presented... Help? [[User:Doctorhook|Doctorhook]] 01:19, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
:it quite obviously states that "in the Japanese versions, they ae the opposite" which must mean the lists are according to the English versions. after all, this is an English wiki. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:27, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

==Here's an Idea==
Even though that Latios and Latias are not true version exclusives because of the hacking or events, people can mistake them as version exclusives, but my plan is to mention this in a short paragraph with the intention of reducing confusion, but I need some input to see what other people think of this, though I do know what I will write about this. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 20:55, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

==Missing from the List==
I don't know for sure, but i think Mr. Mime and Mime Jr. are exclusive to Diamond version (they may be in platinum, i'm not sure), but i know they're not in pearl. At the same time, Bonsley and Suduwoodo are only in Pearl Version(again, i don't know about platinum) I hope this helps:) {{unsigned|Canus albinus}}
:You can get the respective pre-evos in the Trophy Garden... and Mr. Mime is in Platinum, it's somewhere around Route 218. Sudowoodo's on 221 in Platinum. So they're in all the games. ▫▪''[[User:Tina|Ťïňắ]]'' [[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|♥]] 16:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

== Pokewalker ==

On the event {{pw|Rally}} and {{pw|Sightseeing}} courses, the player can get {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Meowth}} respectively on both versions, though these are normally exclusives. Should this be mentioned? [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 13:12, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
:I doubt it. It's the case for lots of Pokéwalker courses... in fact, you can even get Pokémon you shouldn't be able to catch until after the National Dex. Maybe mentioning how the Pokéwalker changes the availability of Pokémon, but I wouldn't go beyond that. [[User:Jazzmoth|ʝɑzzmotɦ]] [[User talk:Jazzmoth|❝❞]][[Special:Contributions/Jazzmoth|✎]] 16:14, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

==Pokémon White==

Isn't the BW version exclusive list a bit... big? It seems kinda confusing. Does anyone think it would be a good idea to have a separate list for all the White Forest exclusives? We don't seem to include Pokémon that are found in Emerald's Safari Zone in Ruby and Sapphire's list. [[User:PDL|PDL]] 02:48, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

== Definition of version-exclusive Pokémon ==

Version-exclusive Pokémon are Pokémon which can be obtained in one game but not another when the games are in the same pair/triplet, without intervention from another game other than another of the same game. Events and the Dream World are not counted in this. It has nothing to do with wild availability. Cranidos and Shieldon are version exclusive, as are Persian and Primeape, despite not being available in the wild. Glitches are excluded completely. If you want to debate this, reply below. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:01, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
: Strongly agreed. Quite honestly, I'm not sure Monmen and Churine should even be listed as such, as you can get the other one via an in-game trade. [[User:Unknowen900|Unknowen900]] 06:41, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
::I agree, the same goes for Volbeat, which can be obtained in White by breeding Illumise. Is it OK to remove them? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 08:56, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
:::If we remove Monmen and Churine and leave a note, the same should go for Volbeat. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:03, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
::::I'd just like to note that I noticed a typo I made in the original definition, so have changed it. Basically, it means that trade evolutions are OK because you can interact with a game as long as it is the same game version. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:07, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

==If you're insisting on having a whole table for White Forest Exclusive Pokémon...==

At least fix it so that the field for Pokémon Black doesn't show up in the table. It's pretty much unneeded otherwise. Also, add one for Emerald's Safari Zone exclusives as well. [[User:PDL|PDL]] 20:05, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
:Okay, I added a table for Emerald's exclusives, but it's still not looking too good with those redundant fields for Ruby and Sapphire in them... [[User:PDL|PDL]] 20:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
::I think long lists look better in tables than in text. If you don't like the template being redundant, you can use something like [[Pokémon Black and White Versions#Version-exclusive Pokémon|the one on BW's page]], which is where I got the base code from, from where I then modified the list to look like all the others on this page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:56, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

== Colosseum/XD Version Exclusives ==

Should a list for Pokemon ''only'' available in these games be added? Basically, Espeon, Umbreon, Ho-Oh, {{tt|Lugia|and Shadow Lugia I suppose}} and Bonsly. I don't know if there are any others. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 22:11, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

:Bonsly shouldn't count because it cannot be caught, and only Ho-Oh and Lugia should matter since Espeon and Umbreon can still be found in the Gen. III handhelds. Just with different methods is all. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 22:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
::Fair enough on Bonsly, but Espeon & Umbreon cannot be found in the handhelds ''at all'' without trading with another version, as Eevee is only available in FireRed/LeafGreen, and cannot evolve into those two in those two due to the removal of Time. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 22:21, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
:::I am thinking of finding a way if possible to modify the locations on their pages to display this fact like "Trade as Eevee from FireRed and LeafGreen", but I haven't had much luck on that. Other than that I agree with your idea on that.-[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 22:30, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

== Volbeat, Monmen and Churine ==

Why were they added back? They are ''not'' version exclusives. They are obtaiable in both Black & White. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 10:59, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
:My mistake, I got mixed up with the Black & White page. But they should still be removed, since they are not version exclusives. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 11:06, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

== Genesect ==

The Shock Drive and Burn Drive are exclusive to Black, while the Chill Drive and Douse Drive are exclusive to White, thus making Genesects "forms" version exclusives (without trading the items), but should they be included here? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 21:21, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
:That is a very interesting point. Maybe since Genesect is not a true "Version Exclusive", but it's form is diffrent it should be mentioned on one of the trivia points below the version exclusive list for Generation V. That's just my idea. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 21:27, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

== Mystery Dungeon ==

Is it possible to evolve Porygon in Red Rescue Team? If yes, then Porygon2 isn't fully version-exclusive, since in Red Rescue Team it could be obtained by evolution (if it's possible to evolve Porygon in that game). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 08:14, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
:Porygon can be evolved, but Porygon 2 still counts as a version exclusive because either way you need a wondermail code in order to get one of them in the other version. Just like evolved main series Pokémon are listed, despite being able to evolve them from their pre-evolved forms - because a trade must be done at some point to get them. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:04, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

== M14 ==

It has version exclusives, should they be added? Since there wouldn't be much point in making a page only for anime exclusives.

== Clamperl's Evolved Forms ==
You have to evolve Clamperl by TRADING. With an item. A DeepSeaTooth being traded with it will cause it to evolve into a Huntail, A DeepSeaScale Gorebyss. [[User:KirbyRider|KirbyRider]] 23:20, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

== Sawk and Throh ==

Following the links on their pages to each location they are allegedly available in, each lists Sawk as Black-exclusive and Throh as White-exclusive. There is no other information on how to obtain them in the Game Locations sections of their pages. If this is true, they should be added to the exclusives list. Otherwise, something needs to change on their pages. [[User:AsbestosBill|AsbestosBill]] 20:02, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

== Latios/Latias in RS ==

I'm wondering if some note should be made about those two? Technically you can obtain both in one version, however, this requires the use of an outside event. The same goes for HGSS, actually. It doesn't have to be added to the table, per se, I just thought it might be worth noting. But maybe people feel otherwise? [[User:Tina|platinatina]] ([[User talk:Tina|talk]]) 00:19, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

== Seedot, Lotad and Surskit vs. Regice and Registeel. ==

So how it goes? Both require interaction with another game, and I just realized it's a {{tt|mess for these|The availability lists them normally, with (S)warm and E(volve)}}, because in the first two' articles they're version exclusive (Surskit is Emerald's swarm, so it's a different tale), but for the last two, it doesn't say that.

== Move to "Game-Exclusive Pokémon" ==

I don't necessarily agree with this specific name as this will make it sound like you can only obtain that Pokémon in that specific game and none of the others. But it changes from generation to generation. That was just my initial thought on the matter. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 15:02, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
:I agree that "game-exclusive Pokémon" is misleading. It may be more cumbersome, but I'd suggest some variation on "Pokémon that do not appear in all games in a group" (since, for example, it's not just generations; we also separate RSE from FRLG, DPPt from HGSS, and BW from B2W2). [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:27, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
::I suggested the move because it appears to be [http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon_101/game_exclusive/ the official name]. I'd rather keep it at this unofficial name than try and create some weird conjecture from "Pokémon that do not appear in all games in a group". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 19:37, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
:::Ah! Didn't see that there was an official name. Well then, yes, I can't conceive of a legitimate argument against moving it eventually. It's just a matter of how long we want to wait to observe the official usage to ensure that it's not just a slapdash term on that page that is replaced by something else on another page. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:41, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
::::Can anyone find a second source that uses this phrase? If so then I would be in favor of the move since the word "Version" is already outdated by now (no Gen VI game uses the term anymore). [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 22:43, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

==Friend Safari==

Should it be noted that in X and Y, version exclusives can be found in the opposite version in the correct type Friend Safari sometimes?[[User:BraviaryGirl23|BraviaryGirl23]] ([[User talk:BraviaryGirl23|talk]]) 00:19, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

== There's a typo ==

In the Generation II section, it says that "Ekans and Sandslash can be obtained in Silver and Gold respectively as prizes from Goldenrod Game Corner". The prize in Gold is Sandshrew, not Sandslash.

:Fixed. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:27, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

== Kakuna can only be found in Wild for X, and Metapod can only be found for Y ==

Save for Friend Safari, of course, but that only counts for Kakuna. This should be listed here, alongside the version exclusives in Friend Safari. [[User:Trainer Yusuf|Trainer Yusuf]] ([[User talk:Trainer Yusuf|talk]]) 18:26, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

== Gen I In-Game Trading Pokemon ==

Of the four Gen I Pokemon only available through trading (Gengar, Alakazam, Golem, and Machamp), you can get Golem and Gengar in the Japanese Blue Version and you can get Machamp in all releases of Pokemon Yellow, all through in-game trades.

Should someone add those three Pokemon to the Gen I list, since they technically are exclusively available in those games? [[User:PalletTownie|PalletTownie]] ([[User talk:PalletTownie|talk]]) 20:25, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

The page is right. It looks like Remoraid can't be caught in Pokemon Crystal, I confirmed that. Other pages say Remoraid is catchable on Route 44 with the Super Rod, or by checking the swarms, but that looks to be incorrect. {{unsigned|Alexlatham96}}

== Renaming back to Version-Exclusive? ==

In a recent Sun and Moon trailer, it refers to Game-Exclusives as 'Version Exclusives.' (Specifically, it says 'A Sneak Peek at Version-Exclusive Pokémon!'), implying that it's officially known as Version-Exclusives in english. Should the page be renamed to reflect this again? [[User:Pokemonred200|Pokemonred200]] ([[User talk:Pokemonred200|talk]]) 15:09, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

:I'd support that, since it's been officially referred to as such in a trailer. It also makes more sense - version is more specific, and already carries the implication of being in the same generation. [[User:Draceon|Draceon]] ([[User talk:Draceon|talk]]) 18:00, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

:: I also like that idea. [[User:GMario3826|GM_3826]] ([[User talk:GMario3826|talk]]) 12:44, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
:::Strange that this discussion was abandoned. I do agree. I also feel like there’s a rules conflict between “Please discuss on the talkpage” in the template, but also the practice of “no replying to conversations older than 6 months”. Should I spin my comment off into a new section to resuscitate discussion?--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 00:11, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
::::The talk page policy reads "''Unless an old conversation is still relevant and there is a good reason to revitalize discussion'', comments on sections older than six months old should not be made." I see no confilict, I'd argue that an ongoing move discussion is necessarily still relevant. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:15, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
:::::It's worth noting that this page was originally moved to "game-exclusive Pokémon" because [http://archive.is/hv4VF that term was used officially].

::::::So let's move it already! "Game-exclusive" has only ever been used to refer to X and Y's version exclusives. Everywhere else used "version-exclusive." Honestly, I don't think we needed to move page for what X and Y called it. Though I guess we would have only known the term would only be temporary in hindsight. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 22:17, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
:I agree that this page should be moved back to its original title. "Version-exclusive" is both the common fan usage ''and'' the more recent official usage. [[User:Bwburke94|bwburke94]] ([[User talk:Bwburke94|talk]]) 03:34, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

== Merging the lists of Gen 5 games? ==

Would it be better if the four games have the same chart for Gen 5 Pokemon so that one can see which Gen 5 Pokemon are in B/W but not in B2/W2 and vice versa? (Zorua, Zoroark, Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus)
Then there can be one more list for each pair to show the version-exclusive pre-Gen 5 Pokemon. {{unsigned|‎Fortranm}}
:...I don't see the advantage of that whatsoever. Every other section is in pairs/groups, so mashing two groups together seems like it'd be far too cluttered. And having separate lists for Gen 5 Pokemon and pre-Gen 5 Pokemon is really, really not part of the intended scope of this page at all. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:17, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
::B2/W2 are the third version of Gen 5 in a sense even though they are direct sequels to the first paired version. The first paired versions and the third versions are listed together for all first 4 generations. The format I proposed is just like the format for RSE. {{unsigned|‎Fortranm}}
:::They're really not a "third version", they're a new, separate set of additional versions. Third versions generally copy the original games' story and wild Pokemon distributions with only small alterations here and there, while in B2W2 these have been entirely thrown out and new ones created from scratch. You're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:51, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

== Stantler in Pokémon Crystal? ==
Stantler is obtainable in Pokémon Crystal,but the page is saying that it is not possible to get a stantler in Pokémon Crystal. {{unsigned|Eduardo390}}
:Stantler is not listed here as it can be obtained in GSC and is not exclusive to any of the three games and being excluded from another game. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 22:00, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

== Version-exclusive ==

I think we should rename this page "Version-exclusive Pokémon" as even the official Pokémon YouTube channel uses the term, as seen in this video: https://youtu.be/m8lfI66T5II {{unsigned|Alolan Ninetales}}
:Note: there is already a discussion about this three sections up. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:15, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

== Lycanroc in Gen VII ==

I feel that we should list Midday Lycanroc and Midnight Lycanroc as exclusive to Sun/Ultra Sun and Moon/Ultra Moon, respectively. I just tried to evolve a couple Rockruff in Ultra Moon. One evolved into Midnight Lycanroc perfectly fine, but the other wouldn't evolve at all. I found a Reddit post addressing this exact same issue in Sun and Moon, and the solution was that Midday Lycanroc is exclusive to Sun, despite daytime existing in Moon, and vice-versa.

You posted on the talk page for [[Diploma]] that you have the Diploma in Ruby and Sapphire despite not having Lugia or Ho-Oh in your Pokédex in that game (and even provided some screenshots showing your Pokédex only have 380 entries).

Is it possible that your Ruby and Sapphire games were missing those two Pokémon from your Pokédex instead? Otherwise, do you have any alternative explanation for why your screenshot is inconsistent with the disassembly? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:53, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

I ended up photoshopping my Ruby/Sapphire Trainer Cards so that they would appear as gold variants, using my legitimate gold card in Emerald as a reference.

'''Fiore''' (Japanese: '''フィオレ地方''' ''Fiore-chihō'') is the setting for the first {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} game. Its name is {{wp|Italian language|Italian}} for "flower". It may be somewhat far from the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], since in the in-game Manaphy event, [[Professor Hastings]] suggests sending the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg to Sinnoh as a response to the term "somewhere far away."

==Geography==
[[File:Fiore.png|thumb|240px|Fiore, labeled]]
[[File:Unmarked Fiore.png|thumb|240px|Artwork of Fiore]]
Fiore is a location with mountainous terrain and four cities located in the cardinal directions of the map. Each city represents a season: Ringtown for spring, Fall City for fall or autumn, Summerland for summer, and Wintown for winter.

==History==
{{incomplete|section}}

==Locations==
====Cities/Towns====
* [[Fall City]]
* [[Ringtown]]
* [[Summerland]]
* [[Wintown]]

====Areas of interest====
* [[Krokka Tunnel]]
* [[Sekra Range]]
* [[East Road]]
* [[North Road]]
* [[Fiore Temple]]
* [[Jungle Relic]]
* [[Kisara Plain]]
* [[Lyra Forest]]
* [[Dusk Factory]]
* [[Olive Jungle]]
* [[Panula Cave]]
* [[Safra Sea]]
* [[Go-Rock Base]]
* [[Waterworks]]

====Routes====
Fiore does not have traditional [[route]]s.

==League==
The relationship between humans and Pokémon is substantially different in Fiore than it is in the regions of the main games. In Fiore, there are no Trainers that capture and battle. The people that have the most interaction with Pokémon are the Pokémon Rangers. Since the Rangers enforce a strict rule of releasing Pokémon after using their help, Fiore does not host a form of Pokémon competition in the vein of the other regions' [[Pokémon League]]. However, they do have capture challenges that are open for Rangers to hone their skills.

==Culture==
[[File:Fiore map.png|thumb|An in-game map of Fiore]]
[[Poké Ball]]s are not sold or used in the Fiore Region. People who befriend Pokémon are encouraged to keep them by their side, outside of Poké Balls at all times, much like [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the anime.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS441|Alternate Dimension Showdown XI]]'', {{adv|Looker}} said that he went to Fiore before travelling to [[Sinnoh]]. In a flashback, [[Lunick]], [[Solana]], and [[Iyori]] were seen in Fiore, giving the {{p|Manaphy}} egg to Looker. They asked Looker to give the egg to a trainer in Sinnoh. The egg was given to {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}.

==Trivia==
* The cities' names are based on the four seasons.
* [[Wintown]] is the only city or town without a Capture Challenge nearby.
* Dummied-out data exists in the Japanese and European versions of the game for a location called '''Kalakka Desert''' (Japanese: '''カラッカさばく''' ''Kalakka Desert''), including a map description: "The temperature here swings far between day and night, and an arid wind blows."
* Alongside [[Hoenn]], Fiore is the only region to have two lighthouses appearing in-game, specifically at the [[Fall City]] harbor and in the vicinities of [[Summerland]] (marine challenge).

===Origin===
Fiore is likely based on the {{wp|Prefectures of Japan|Japanese prefecture}}s {{wp|Okayama Prefecture|Okayama}} and {{wp|Hyōgo Prefecture|Hyōgo}}, as well as {{wp|Shodo Island}} of the {{wp|Kagawa Prefecture|Kagawa}} prefecture.

In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, there is only one diploma in the game, awarded for completing the Pokédex. From [[Generation III]] to {{gen|VI}}, there is one diploma awarded for completing the [[regional Pokédex]] and a second for completing the [[National Pokédex]].

In {{g|X and Y}}, a total of five diplomas are awarded: one for capturing every Pokémon in each of the [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]], one for obtaining all of those three diplomas, and one for completing the National Pokédex. These diplomas are different if the player completed their Pokédex only with {{DL|origin mark|blue pentagon}} Pokémon.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, an additional Diploma can be received if the player shows the Game Freak lead developer a Pokémon that was originally caught in either {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} or {{game|Emerald}}; unlike most diplomas, this one is customized according to the Pokémon shown to the developer, with its Generation III sprite appearing in the bottom-left corner.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, instead of a diploma, the player is given stamps on their {{ga|Trainer Card}} for completing the various regional Pokédexes. There is no reward for catching all the Pokémon as of this generation, likely because the National Pokédex is not obtainable in these games. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player can receive a diploma from the director for completing their Kanto Pokédex; due to only Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex existing in these games, there is no diploma for completing the National Pokédex.

==Obtaining==
===Location===
In all games in which [[Celadon Condominiums]] appears, the Game Freak lead developer is located in the Game Freak headquarters there. In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, he is located in the Game Freak building in [[Castelia City]]. In games in which a Game Freak building is not present, he is on vacation and found in some kind of temporary accommodation; in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he is on the top floor of [[Cove Lily Motel]] in [[Lilycove City]]; in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, he is in the north-westernmost house in the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] at the [[Valor Lakefront]]; in {{g|X and Y}}, he is in the {{DL|Coumarine City|Hotel Coumarine}} in [[Coumarine City]]. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, he is in the western {{DL|Circhester|Hotel Ionia}} building in [[Circhester]]. In [[The Isle of Armor]] and [[The Crown Tundra]], a female [[Doctor]] who upgrades the Pokédex in the Armor and Crown Tundra Stations rewards the player with the respective Diplomas instead.

===Pokédex completion===
For a Pokédex to be considered complete, the player must have owned all Pokémon in that Pokédex (except a select few Pokémon). In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, to complete the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], the player only needs to have seen all the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex, not own them.

[[Mythical Pokémon]] and {{p|Phione}} (whose Mythical status is disputed) are not usually required to qualify for diplomas; however, in {{game|Platinum}} seeing {{p|Manaphy}} is required to obtain the Sinnoh Pokédex Diploma, and in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} owning {{p|Deoxys}} is required to obtain the National Pokédex Diploma. In the Generation III games and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, owning {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} is not required to complete any Pokédex.

==Function==
The diploma is not an [[item]] as it is not added to the {{player}}'s [[Bag]]; to view it after obtaining it, the player must talk to said lead developer again. In {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{g|X and Y}}, the diploma is instead sent to the player's [[Player's house|bedroom]] for display. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the diploma can be hung on the wall of the player's [[Secret Base]].

In {{game|Yellow}}, {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it is possible to print out a copy of the diploma using a [[Game Boy Printer]]. The printout displays additional graphics in the bottom half of the diploma which cannot be otherwise seen. Interestingly, in Yellow, the image only visible on the printout includes Mew, despite Mew not being necessary to obtain the diploma.

:I got mine which I can upload. I'm pretty sure there's another diploma for gen 3 and 4 though as the ones there are only regional. If somebody has the national diplomas for those generations they should upload them.[[User:MasterRichmond|MasterRichmond]] 08:36, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

== R/S National ==

Oh crap. I managed to get all Hoenn 202 in R/S (via cheats ._. had no idea then about version-exclusives and evolution via trade D:) but 386? How the hell I am even supossed to unlock National Mode when I have {{tt|you-know-what|No idea how to trade with RS between FR/LG and Emerald in that situation}}. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 16:57, 5 September 2011 (UTC) PS.I think I can get FR/LG regional in near future, 19 missing. Most of missing are version-exclusives, the other are Hitmonlee, Kabuto(ps) and Dragonite. (stupid 60 national stuff ._. god that's just screwed. I don't think if I am able to do that AGAIN.)
:Well nevermind now. Just acquired National Dex in Ruby after trading with LeafGreen. :D [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 18:41, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

== Phione in Gen VI ==

I did not get Phione on my Pokemon X version, but was still given the diploma, so I don't see where the information that it is required could have come from. [[User:Mongoose|Mongoose]] ([[User talk:Mongoose|talk]]) 21:19, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
:At some point, I got the impression that the diplomas don't actually check specific Pokemon, but instead only count how many Pokemon you've seen (species, that is; perhaps in the correct range, for non-National Dex diplomas). Maybe it's only true for some games, or maybe I was completely wrong, but it may well deserve double-checking (even for different types of diplomas in the same game).

== How are Blue Pentagon diplomas different? ==

How exactly are diplomas gotten when you complete the dex with all Blue Pentagon pokemon different? I have completed all 3 Kalos dexs and Nat Dex without all BP pokemon and can't see anything different between the diplomas in this [video|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAyhSlHLBl0] which was completed before Bank and my diplomas. (Although the colours might slightly different but I put this down to comparing a YT video with my 3DS XL). The only difference I can see is that I don't get a crown on the Pokedex for the 3 Kalos dexes though in every other respect the game treats me as having completed them, I do get the crown for the Nat Dex however [[User:Jmvb|Snorlax Monster seems to fix my edits a lot.]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 20:28, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
: I just tested it by completing my Central Kalos dex with BP pokemon, non-BP diplomas don't say 'solely' [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - I don't what to put here.]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 17:38, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

== Korean GS ==

Is it possible to get a diploma in these versions? Some Pokemon have to be brought over from Generation 1, and I am not sure if Korean games can trade with any (probably Japanese?). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:08, 7 March 2015 (UTC) PS. Also on that matter, we need the name for the diploma from these games (if impossible, one can always hack in all the Pokemon). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:08, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
:Apparently the Korean Time Capsule [[Time Capsule#In the Korean versions|can be enabled]] with an English-language game, and [http://youtu.be/cej4fypqzfQ it can successfully trade with English GSC without excessive glitches], so it's entirely reasonable that you could complete the Pokédex. Google doesn't offer me any info on trading from Japanese to Korean games, though I imagine that would be the one to break it, since from what I can tell, the Korean games were developed off of the international versions. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 16:40, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

== Possible Error for National Pokedex in Gen3 R/S ==

I am fairly certain that in Ruby and Sapphire, Ho-Oh and Lugia are required to "complete" the national pokedex (even though those Pokemon cannot be caught in this generation on any GBA games.)
Source: I have the original Nintendo Power strategy guide for FireRed/LeafGreen, and it specifically has a paragraph on pg.25 taking about how Ho-Oh and Lugia are required in R/S but not in FR/LG. Of course, it could be an error, but they go out of their way to point this out.
Later, FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald do not require the two legendary birds to be considered as having completing the national pokedex. {{unsigned|Atonaltensor}}

:I'm not sure how long ago you asked this, but I've been going through the entire series lately, completing EVERYTHING. Here's my progress up to Gen 3: https://imgur.com/a/zDS5Oqs As you can see, all five Gen 3 games only have 380 Pokémon registered; none of them ever had Ho-Oh/Lugia. And yet, I still got the Ruby/Sapphire National Diplomas. Nintendo Power must have been mistaken. Can't blame them, though; RS was released before Colo/XD. However, this does prove that Game Freak probably planned out the Kanto remakes and NGC games while developing RS.--[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 18:44, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Google doesn't offer me any info on trading from Japanese to Korean games, though I imagine that would be the one to break it, since from what I can tell, the Korean games were developed off of the international versions. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 16:40, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

== Possible Error for National Pokedex in Gen3 R/S ==

I am fairly certain that in Ruby and Sapphire, Ho-Oh and Lugia are required to "complete" the national pokedex (even though those Pokemon cannot be caught in this generation on any GBA games.)
Source: I have the original Nintendo Power strategy guide for FireRed/LeafGreen, and it specifically has a paragraph on pg.25 taking about how Ho-Oh and Lugia are required in R/S but not in FR/LG. Of course, it could be an error, but they go out of their way to point this out.
Later, FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald do not require the two legendary birds to be considered as having completing the national pokedex. {{unsigned|Atonaltensor}}

:I'm not sure how long ago you asked this, but I've been going through the entire series lately, completing EVERYTHING. Here's my progress up to Gen 3: https://imgur.com/a/zDS5Oqs As you can see, all five Gen 3 games only have 380 Pokémon registered; none of them ever had Ho-Oh/Lugia. And yet, I still got the Ruby/Sapphire National Diplomas. Nintendo Power must have been mistaken. Can't blame them, though; RS was released before Colo/XD. However, this does prove that Game Freak probably planned out the Kanto remakes and NGC games while developing RS.--[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 18:44, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

==About the stars in the Sinnoh Trainer Card==

Are you sure that you need to win a Master rank ribbon in all Contests in order to have a star in the Trainer card? Me and my sister have won only one Master rank ribbon and now we have a star in our Trainer card --[[User:DarkSally|DarkSally]]([[User talk:DarkSally|complaints department]]) 11:33, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

== X and Y trainer card. ==

Before I completed my National Dex on Pokemon Y, my trainer card was Blue. But after I completed my National Pokedex, it was Silver. (This was after seeing all Mythical Pokemon also) [[User:Mr.Anonymous|Mr.Anonymous]] ([[User talk:Mr.Anonymous|talk]]) 05:11, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

== Why are Black, White, Black 2, White 2, X and Y on here? ==

I'm not too sure about the gen V games since I never played them but it looks like they don't have stars and I know X/Y doesn't have stars on the card either. It makes no sense for them to be on this article. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 02:16, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
:"''While Trainer stars themselves do not appear in Pokémon Black and White onwards, the Trainer Card still changes color with the completion of certain tasks.''"
:Functionally, the lack of stars doesn't make any difference. The Trainer card upgrades (changes colors) when you achieve certain feats. That remains the same. At best, you might be able to argue that the article should be titled differently. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:24, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

:I would also like to add that the Trainer Passport stamps are a subsection of the Trainer Card page, which makes no sense given that these trainer stars aren't. I also agree with Abcboy in that said subsection should be called "trainer levels". --[[User:LavaringX|LavaringX]] ([[User talk:LavaringX|talk]]) 02:51, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

== Regarding the Black/White Trainer Card ==

I have recently been going through the entire series, completing EVERYTHING. However, I have yet to unlock the Black/White Trainer Card in Pokémon Black or White, and frankly, I believe that's because that particular card doesn't exist. The chart claims that one way of increasing your card rank is by defeating Subway Bosses Ingo and Emmet in the Super Singles and Super Doubles Trains, respectively, in the Battle Subway. I have done this AND defeated them simultaneously in the Super Multi Train, and my card did not change. Instead, for each Super Train Boss I defeated, I was given a trophy, a total of 3 rewarded and placed in my bedroom in Nuvema Town. On top of this, when I received the Gold card in either game, the Pokémon Center Nurse would acknowledge my achieving that particular rank, something that in previous games would only happen upon reaching the highest rank on your card. I am well aware that the chart is based off information taken from Serebii's website, and I mean no offense to the guy, but I believe he may, in fact, had been misinformed when uploading data on the Trainer Card ranks in Black/White. After all, his site also says you need to obtain every Entralink Pass Power, when in reality, you have to raise your Entree's Black and White Levels to 30. Yes, you also unlock every Pass Power by doing this, but you still need to pay for them with Pass Orbs, and their effects are only temporary. I haven't started on Black 2/White 2 yet, so I cannot say whether or not the Black/White Trainer Card exists in those games, though I do plan on looking into it.--[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 09:20, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
:Please feel free to correct any information that you know is false, preferably specifying in the edit summary.
:Anyway, is it possible you missed another requirement? This is a job that many players would finish, so I find it highly unlikely that it isn't actually a requirement (not sure if you suggested that), and also that a color that didn't exist at that time [[Special:Diff/1371707|was added]] before B2W2 was released. There are probably videos or images out there, maybe try searching those? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 09:45, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
::I did some further research, like you suggested, and after looking through Japanese blog posts, I eventually found it. Or rather, I found THEM. Apparently, you get the Black Card in Black Version, and the White Card in White Version. However, those blogs say the same thing as this site, that you have to beat the bosses of the Super Singles and Super Doubles Trains, which, as I've said in my initial post, I have, in fact, done so, as well as the Super Multi Train, which one blog in particular stated was only optional. I couldn't have missed a prior requirement, as I was saving the Battle Subway requirement for last, and made sure my card in both games changed color upon completing a requirement. So now, the question is why I didn't get that final upgrade. I could try again on another save file, but beating the Battle Subway bosses 3 times has left me feeling mentally drained, so I'll just consider the issue resolved, unless someone else would like to look into it.--[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 23:25, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

::::::I have an update: I now have the Black Card! It's just like the chart said, beat Ingo in the Super Singles Train, and Emmet in the Super Doubles Train. In other words, a 49-win streak in both trains. So, what happened? Well, I have a confession to make. When I first attempted to beat the Battle Subway, I got frustrated at my constant losses, and tried hacking in the required win streaks via PKHeX. That didn't work, so I reverted the hacked win records to 0, and swept the Subway with a Wondertomb/Wondereye combo. Apparently, my earlier meddling broke the code that tells the game to change my card color. I spent the whole day starting over on an older save from before I tried hacking, BUT I still used the Wonder Guard duo. This time, I did get the color change. So really, the joke's on me for trying to cheese my way through it, but I have no regrets. This was a learning experience for me, and once I start playing through Gen 6, Wondertomb will no longer be an option.--[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 06:40, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Gear (Masters)

2020-01-09T23:50:59Z

Knowitall: /* List of gears */

[[File:Masters gear menu.png|thumb|200px|Gears in Pokémon Masters]]
A '''gear''' is an item in [[Pokémon Masters]] that can be equipped to a player's team to boost the stats of [[sync pair]]s. Gears can be obtained by completing Main Story Co-op battles (Very Hard mode) and Ex-Challenges in the [[Training area]]. A specific gear is guaranteed as a first-time reward with these stages, and can thereafter be obtained as random battle rewards after repeating these stages.

To unlock gears, the player must first complete Chapter 18: Team Unova in both Single and Co-op (Hard) mode to unlock the ''Get Stronger with Gear!'' battle in the Training area. After completing all these, [[Professor Bellis]] will reward the player with a 1★ Electric Bracelet.

==Mechanics==
Gears come in three forms, Bracelets, which raise Attack, Bandannas, which raise Special Attack, and Pins, which raise HP. Only one of each can be equipped to a team at a time. Gears also have a specific [[type]] and provide a full boost for Pokémon in the team with the same type, while other Pokémon will receive only half the boost (rounded down to nearest integer).

A gear's level can be upgraded to enhance the boost the gear provides. For each increase in gear level, the stat boost is increased by one for 1★ gears and two for 2★ gears. Initially, the gear level is capped at Lv. 3. The level cap can be unlocked by exchanging duplicate copies of the same gear. Up to four gears can be exchanged to increase the level cap to Lv. 15.

Gears are upgraded using Cloths of the respective type, as well as with Upgrade Threads, Scissors, and Needles which are used to upgrade Bracelets, Bandannas, and Pins respectively.

Gear (Masters)

2020-01-09T23:49:27Z

Knowitall: /* List of gears */

[[File:Masters gear menu.png|thumb|200px|Gears in Pokémon Masters]]
A '''gear''' is an item in [[Pokémon Masters]] that can be equipped to a player's team to boost the stats of [[sync pair]]s. Gears can be obtained by completing Main Story Co-op battles (Very Hard mode) and Ex-Challenges in the [[Training area]]. A specific gear is guaranteed as a first-time reward with these stages, and can thereafter be obtained as random battle rewards after repeating these stages.

To unlock gears, the player must first complete Chapter 18: Team Unova in both Single and Co-op (Hard) mode to unlock the ''Get Stronger with Gear!'' battle in the Training area. After completing all these, [[Professor Bellis]] will reward the player with a 1★ Electric Bracelet.

==Mechanics==
Gears come in three forms, Bracelets, which raise Attack, Bandannas, which raise Special Attack, and Pins, which raise HP. Only one of each can be equipped to a team at a time. Gears also have a specific [[type]] and provide a full boost for Pokémon in the team with the same type, while other Pokémon will receive only half the boost (rounded down to nearest integer).

A gear's level can be upgraded to enhance the boost the gear provides. For each increase in gear level, the stat boost is increased by one for 1★ gears and two for 2★ gears. Initially, the gear level is capped at Lv. 3. The level cap can be unlocked by exchanging duplicate copies of the same gear. Up to four gears can be exchanged to increase the level cap to Lv. 15.

Gears are upgraded using Cloths of the respective type, as well as with Upgrade Threads, Scissors, and Needles which are used to upgrade Bracelets, Bandannas, and Pins respectively.

'''Ferrum''' (Japanese: '''フェルム地方''' ''Ferrum-chihō'') is the name of the [[region]] that serves as the setting for [[Pokkén Tournament]]. It is home to cities, towns, stadiums, ruins, and other locations such as a volcano, multiple islands, and even a dragon's nest. Battles are held wherever the energy of the earth is particularly strong, so most areas in the region serve as battle arenas for Ferrum Battles.

==Initial areas==
The main region is split between six areas a player can initially visit: Old Ferrum Town, Techne City, Tellur Town, Ferrum Stadium, Selen Island, and Neos City, as well two additional areas in the [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]] version: Haunted House and Thalia Beach. On the main menu of Pokkén Tournament, each area is labeled by its primary function, but when the area is selected, the name of the town appears in a video screen.

===Old Ferrum Town===
Old Ferrum Town, also called My Town, is where the player can go to adjust their game settings, Pokémon, character profile, [[Nia]]'s settings, as well as view their Battle Records. It is located in the center of the Ferrum Region.

===Techne City===
Techne City is a place where Nia teaches the player about the aspects of Pokkén Tournament. It is located in the southeastern portion of the Ferrum Region. There are four main lessons of Practice to chose from:
*"Tutorial" teaches the player about the basics of battle, the Attack Triangle, and several other techniques.
*"Free Training" allows the player to set the battle rules to their liking and face off against a CPU Pokémon, which can be told what to do and how to react by a pause menu.
*"Action Dojo" goes over the different moves for each of the Pokémon. The moves Nia talks about will be based on the Pokémon selected.
*"Combo Dojo" goes over the different combos the player's Pokémon can perform. The moves Nia talks about will be based on the Pokémon selected.

===Tellur Town===
Tellur Town is where one player can initially go to face off against a CPU opponent in Single Battle. It is located in the northeastern portion of the Ferrum Region. The player sets the rules and chooses the Battle Pokémon and Support Pokémon sets for both themselves and their opponent before starting the battle.
There are three types of battle rules:
* "Basic Battle" (Japanese: ベーシックバトル) - A classic fighting-style battle in three rounds. The player that knocks out opponent's Pokémon in two rounds first is the winner.
* "Extra Battle" (Japanese: エクストラバトル) - A three-round battle (just like Basic Battle) that includes collectible orbs that spawn on the stage that could either boost or hinder Pokémon's stats and abilities. The player that knocks out opponent's Pokémon in two rounds first is the winner.
* "Team Battle" (Japanese: チームバトル) - A battle exclusively in Pokkén Tournament DX ([[Nintendo Switch]]), each player chooses three different Pokémon and fights to see which team will be the last one standing. Similar to the [[core series]] games, the player sends out one of their remaining Pokémon when their Pokémon is defeated in a round. At the end of the round, the HP and Synergy Gauge of the winning Pokémon carries over. The winner is the player's team that knocks out all three opponent's Pokémon first.

===Ferrum Stadium===
The Ferrum League is where players initially go to test their skills in battle. The league is single player only. It is located in the north of the Ferrum Region. Live broadcast for Ferrum League events are being held by the "Ferrum Sports Broadcast Company" (FSBC) TV channel.

In order to progress in the Ferrum League, the player has to battle several challengers. Upon beating a group of them, the player's Rank will increase based on how well they did. The Ferrum League is split into several smaller leagues and the player starts at the bottom. If the player manages to defeat enough challengers to make at least Rank 8, they will be able to partake in the tournament. Completing the tournament will allow the player to face against the League Master. The player can also do Free Battles in the league, which pits them against a random opponent within the league, but won't affect the player's Rank.

===Selen Island===
Local Battle is where two players initially go to face off against each other. The island is located to the east in the Ferrum Region.

In order to do so, one player (Player One) uses the [[Wii U]]'s Gamepad/[[Nintendo Switch|Switch]]'s Joy-Con and the other player (Player Two) uses a secondary controller. Player One battles using the controls and Wii U/Switch screen, whereas the second player uses their controller and the television screen. Players are allowed to play the game in either single screen by regular perspective or Split Screen by Player One's perspective.

After setting the rules, both players chose from the available battling Pokémon, followed by a set of Support Pokémon, and then the arena. The battle will begin once both players are ready to fight.

===Neos City===
Neos City is where a player can initially go to fight a random opponent or a friend online via Online Battle. The city is located in the south of the Ferrum Region.

Players can partake in either a "Rank Match" or a "Friendly Match". Rank Match has two players battle to increase their online ranking, whereas Friendly Match is meant for players who only want to battle without worrying about their rank. Friends can also only be battled in Friendly Match. When searching for an opponent, the player may face off against a CPU opponent while the game is searching.

===Haunted House===
Daily Challenge provides a challenge on daily basis, which is only available in the Switch version. Completing it will earn the player Skill Points for a Pokémon once per day.

===Thalia Beach===
Thalia Beach is a Switch-exclusive location where players can apply for a battle and recruit opponents to the group via Wireless Battle. The players can search for a match or set up their own customized match for others to join.

==Arenas==
There are various arenas that battles in the Ferrum Region take place on. Some are available from the start of the game to use in the single player training or multiplayer modes, whereas others must be unlocked by meeting certain conditions. Some arenas are in the same locations as the initial areas. In Pokkén Tournament DX, all arenas except for Snow Gift are unlocked initially.

==Natural Phenomena==
===Synergy Stones===
Stones with a mysterious power that are found in the Ferrum Region. Reacting to Gaia, the energy of the earth, they create Synergy Power that has the ability to vitalize living creatures. Some people can use them to communicate directly with Pokémon.

===Synergy Power===
A mysterious energy created by using Synergy Stones. Allows humans and Pokémon to communicate on an instinctual level. In response to a Ferrum Battle, this energy may also appear during the fighting.

===Great Synergy Stone===
The large stone decorating the Ferrum Stadium is a massive crystallized chunk of Synergy Power. Its vitalizing effect on life blankets the entire stadium, causing large amounts of Synergy Power to appear in the vicinity.

===Synergy Burst===
A Pokémon-related phenomenon that has only ever been confirmed in the Ferrum Region. It occurs when the Synergy between a human and a Pokémon reaches its peak level. Many mysteries still surround this phenomenon, though it is postulated to be related to [[Mega Evolution]], as Pokémon (with Mega Evolutions) in a Synergy Burst state will Mega Evolve.

==Customs==
The Ferrum Region has developed a unique culture due to the presence of Synergy Stones. Rich in nature, people and Pokémon have coexisted here since ancient times. The one-on-one Ferrum Battle is unique to this region.

===Battle Trainer===
The name given to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who fight Ferrum Battles. They have to be able to use a certain level of Synergy Stone power. They use a Battle AR device and fight battles in sync with their partner Battle Pokémon.

===Rank===
Indicates the strength of a battle trainer. Rank changes depending upon battle performance. Ranks range from E5 to S1.

===Advisor===
A trainer who gives advice during battle. They use the communication functions of the Battle AR to talk to the battle trainer wearing the device. [[Nia]] is one such advisor who partners with a {{p|Weavile}}. Though her skills in battle remain unknown, she does enjoy traveling with her Battle Pokémon.

===FSBC===
A TV station which broadcasts the Ferrum League. Its full name is the "Ferrum Sports Broadcasting Company".

==Technology==
===Battle AR===
A special device embedded with a Synergy Stone, worn as an earpiece by a Battle Trainer. It allows the trainer to sync up with their partner Battle Pokémon, and also project battle information into their field of view.

===Battle Capsule===
A device that instantly creates the battle arenas in which Ferrum Battles are fought. Once activated the capsule floats in mid-air and creates the battle arena. It is also outfitted with numerous functions that support the holding of these battles.

===Battle Arena===
The walled-off area inside which Ferrum Battles are held. Created by a battle capsule. Changing the capsule's settings can create arenas of different sizes and shapes.

===Virtual Paint===
One of the functions of a battle capsule. When two Pokémon of the same species battle, virtual paint is applied to temporarily change the color of one of the combatants, making it easier for spectators to follow the action.

==Trivia==
* Several areas in the Ferrum region are named after {{wp|chemical element}}s:
** Old Ferrum Town - {{wp|Iron}}
** Techne City - {{wp|Technetium}}
** Tellur Town - {{wp|Tellurium}}
** Selen Island - {{wp|Selenium}}
** Neos City - {{wp|Neon}}
** Phos Volcano - {{wp|Phosphorus}}
** Thalia Beach - {{wp|Thallium}}

===Origin===
Although claims exist of Ferrum resembling {{wp|Greece}} and {{wp|South Korea}}, a closer examination reveals that the region bears the strongest resemblance to {{wp|Iriomote Island}}, the largest of the Yaeyama Islands in the {{wp|Okinawa Prefecture}}, Japan. Neos City, in particular, is virtually identical, geographically, to ''Ōhara Port''.

'''Fiore''' (Japanese: '''フィオレ地方''' ''Fiore-chihō'') is the setting for the first {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} game. Its name is {{wp|Italian language|Italian}} for "flower". It may be somewhat close to the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], since it was stated in-game that Sinnoh was the closest region to send the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg during the Manaphy event.

==Geography==
[[File:Fiore.png|thumb|240px|Fiore, labeled]]
[[File:Unmarked Fiore.png|thumb|240px|Artwork of Fiore]]
Fiore is a location with mountainous terrain and four cities located in the cardinal directions of the map. Each city represents a season: Ringtown for spring, Fall City for fall or autumn, Summerland for summer, and Wintown for winter.

==History==
{{incomplete|section}}

==Locations==
====Cities/Towns====
* [[Fall City]]
* [[Ringtown]]
* [[Summerland]]
* [[Wintown]]

====Areas of interest====
* [[Krokka Tunnel]]
* [[Sekra Range]]
* [[East Road]]
* [[North Road]]

* [[Kisara Plains]]
* [[Lyra Forest]]
* [[Dusk Factory]]
* [[Olive Jungle]]
* [[Panula Cave]]
* [[Safra Sea]]
* [[Go-Rock Squad Base]]
* [[Waterworks]]

====Routes====
Fiore does not have traditional [[route]]s.

==League==
The relationship between humans and Pokémon is substantially different in Fiore than it is in the regions of the main games. In Fiore, there are no Trainers that capture and battle. The people that have the most interaction with Pokémon are the Pokémon Rangers. Since the Rangers enforce a strict rule of releasing Pokémon after using their help, Fiore does not host a form of Pokémon competition in the vein of the other regions' [[Pokémon League]]. However, they do have capture challenges that are open for Rangers to hone their skills.

==Culture==
[[File:Fiore map.png|thumb|An in-game map of Fiore]]
[[Poké Ball]]s are not sold or used in the Fiore Region. People who befriend Pokémon are encouraged to keep them by their side, outside of Poké Balls at all times, much like [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the anime.

==Trivia==
* The cities' names are based on the four seasons.
* [[Wintown]] is the only city or town without a Capture Challenge nearby.
* Dummied-out data exists in the Japanese and European versions of the game for a location called '''Kalakka Desert''' (Japanese: '''カラッカさばく''' ''Kalakka Desert''), including a map description: "The temperature here swings far between day and night, and an arid wind blows."
* Alongside [[Hoenn]], [[Fiore]] is the only region to have two lighthouses appearing in-game, specifically at the [[Fall City]] harbor and in the vicinities of [[Summerland]] (marine challenge).

===Origin===
Fiore was believed to be based off {{wp|Naples}} and the surroundings, in {{wp|Italy}}. However, upon closer inspection, the region seems to resemble more closely the prefectures of Okayama and Hyōgo, as well as Shodo Island in the Kagawa prefecture, {{wp|Japan}}.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of seven of the major Pokémon regions—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova and Alola are based on parts of the {{wp|United States}} and Kalos is based on {{wp|France}}. It is stated that the inspiration for [[Orre]] is {{wp|Phoenix, Arizona}}.

==Core regions==
===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game map corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chūbu region|Chūbu}}.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of seven of the major Pokémon regions—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova and Alola are based on parts of the {{wp|United States}} and Kalos is based on {{wp|France}}. It is stated that the inspiration for [[Orre]] is {{wp|Phoenix, Arizona}}.

==Core regions==
===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game map corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chūbu region|Chūbu}}.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of seven of the major Pokémon regions—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova and Alola are based on parts of the {{wp|United States}} and Kalos is based on {{wp|France}}. It is stated that the inspiration for [[Orre]] is {{wp|Phoenix, Arizona}}.

==Core regions==
===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game map corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chūbu region|Chūbu}}.

* [[Lt. Surge]] is known as "The Lightning {{wp|United States|American}}!". In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Pokémon Journal entries state that he "is rumored to have been a pilot while home in America."
* [[Game Freak]]'s offices are present in the [[Celadon Condominiums]], the equivalent location of their real-world office in {{wp|Carrot Tower}}. Likewise, they have a building in [[Castelia City]], and are found on 22F, the same floor that their offices are on in Carrot Tower.
* In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{tc|Scientist}} Taylor in the [[Silph Co.]] building mentions an international branch of Silph Co. In English, he states that the {{wp|Tiksi}} branch of the company is "in {{wp|Russia}}n no-man's-land". In the Japanese version, he states that the Ponaya Tunguska (Japanese: ポナヤツングスカ) branch is located "deep in Russia". Ponaya Tunguska appears to be a shortened form of the transliterated name of {{wp|Podkamennaya Tunguska (rural locality)|Podkamennaya Tunguska}} in Japanese (ポドカメンナヤツングースカ).
* {{p|Mew}} was originally discovered in the jungles of the {{wp|South America}}n country [[Guyana]]. This is mentioned in logs inside of Cinnabar Island's {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}.
* Both {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Beartic}}'s names are derived from a real-world location, the {{wp|Arctic}}.
* In ''[[EP009|School of Hard Knocks]]'', {{an|Misty}} fantasizes about {{wp|Paris}} and the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}}.
* In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', James says that the [[Fuchsia Gym]] looks like a {{wp|Japan|Japanese}} restaurant.
* In the English dub of ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', Melvin says he wanted to make it to {{wp|Las Vegas}}. In the Japanese version, he said that he wanted to make it to {{wp|Broadway}}.
* {{p|Arcanine}}'s {{game|Yellow}}, {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Stadium}}, [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]], and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold]] [[Pokédex]] entries state that it is mentioned in {{wp|China|Chinese}} legends.
* In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'', Meowth says, "Keep digging till you hit China!" to Jessie and James, who were digging for clam shells.
* {{p|Parasect}}'s Stadium and FireRed Pokédex entries mention that its spores are used in medicine in China.
* {{p|Ponyta}}'s Stadium Pokédex entry mentions that it can clear the Eiffel Tower ({{wp|Tokyo Tower}} in the original Japanese version) in one leap. Also, its FireRed entry says that it can clear {{wp|Uluru|Ayers Rock}} in one leap.
* In the {{wp|William Shakespeare}}-inspired episode ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]'', Misty described the town as like being in "merry old {{wp|England}}".
* In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Team Rocket are disguised as {{wp|Vikings}}. In the English dub, [[Brock]] says that he didn't know that Vikings still existed and {{Ash}} replies that they "mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}". This is a reference to the Minnesota Vikings, a football team in the area.
:*In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish dub}} of the movie, Ash says that they come from {{wp|Norway}}, a reference to the Norse Vikings who lived from the 8th to the 11th century.
:* In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish dub}} of the movie, Ash tells Brock that the Vikings are mostly on trips in {{wp|Sweden}}, again referring to the Norse Vikings, but may also refer to {{wp|Vikingarna (band)|Vikingarna}}, a Swedish {{wp|dansband}}.
:* In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish dub}} of the movie, Ash quips that Vikings still live in the {{wp|Sipoo}} archipelago, referring to the fact that Sipoo was at the time mostly inhabited by Swedish-speaking Finns (another reference to Norse Vikings).
* In the first movie, Meowth mentioned that they lived on the same {{wp|Earth}} (though he may have been referring to the soil rather than the planet Earth).
* In Gold, Silver, {{v2|Crystal}}, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, {{jo|Webster}}, the guard in the [[gate]] north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed {{wp|Kenya}}, the name of a country in {{wp|Africa}}.
* {{p|Poliwrath}}'s Gold, [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, HeartGold, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Versions|Black 2, White 2]] and [[Pokémon X and Y Versions|X]] Pokédex entries mention its ability to swim the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}}. Also, the direction of a Poliwrath's spirals depends on its geographical location. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Versions|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], it instead refers to "the ocean".
* {{p|Xatu}}'s Silver, FireRed, and SoulSilver Pokédex entries mention that South Americans say that it can see both the future and past.
* In the TCG [[Lucky Stadium (Neo Destiny 100)]] card, there is a promotional {{wp|New York City}} print with a {{p|Pichu}} and a {{p|Pikachu}} flying on a {{p|Charizard}} in New York City, with the {{wp|Empire State Building}} visible in the background.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of seven of the major Pokémon regions—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova and Alola are based on parts of the {{wp|United States}} and Kalos is based on {{wp|France}}. It is stated that the inspiration for [[Orre]] is {{wp|Phoenix, Arizona}}.

==Core regions==
===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game map corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chūbu region|Chūbu}}.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of seven of the major Pokémon regions—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova and Alola are based on parts of the {{wp|United States}} and Kalos is based on {{wp|France}}. It is stated that the inspiration for [[Orre]] is {{wp|Phoenix, Arizona}}.

==Core regions==
===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game map corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chūbu region|Chūbu}}.

Knowitall: /* Possible real-world location? */ new section

Where does the picture with all the locations come from?

== Possible real-world location? ==

Currently, it is generally accepted that Fiore is possibly based off of Naples and the surrounding area. However, I believe this claim may in fact be false. From what I can tell, the only basis for "Fiore=Naples" is the fact that "fiore" is Italian for "flower." However, this should not necessarily be the deciding factor for determining a region's real-world counterpart, provided one exists. After all, Kalos is based off of France, despite its name deriving from the Greek word for "beauty." After doing some research, I discovered an area that bears similarities to Fiore's geography: Japan's Okayama prefecture (and possibly the western half of the Hyogo prefecture as well).

[https://imgur.com/rBUgZHN Okayama and Hyogo]

Comparing with Fiore, Okayama/Hyogo have 3 distinct features that seem to parallel:

1. To the north, there is Mount Hyono and Hiruzen, much like the mountain range seen in Fiore's artwork.

2. To the east, there is Himeji, a large port city. Isn't Fall City a port, as well?

3. To the south, there is Shodo Island, the first place in Japan to successfully cultivate olives. Because of this, it is sometimes called "Olive Island." Compare with Summerland, and how it is surrounded by the '''Olive Jungle.'''

Admittedly, the only thing notable about the western side of Okayama is Kurashiki, which is known for being near several beautiful parks. The only area in Fiore one could compare these parks with is the Kisara Plains, but even then, it's a logical stretch.

Personally, I believe this area matches Fiore better than Naples, and given how the other two regions within the Ranger games are likely based off of areas in Japan (Almia=southwestern Hokkaido, Oblivia=Oki Islands), it stands to reason that Fiore would also be based off of Japan. However, I'm not a mod, so I'll leave it to them to decide on this matter. --[[User:Knowitall|Knowitall]] ([[User talk:Knowitall|talk]]) 22:17, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

'''This is the Moment''' (also known as ''The Ultimate Challenge'') is a song that was frequently used as an insert in the English dub towards the end of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

The instances of its usage were in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', for the final moments of the [[Contest Battle]] between {{an|Dawn}} and [[Zoey]] in the final round of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]; in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', for {{Ash}} and [[Conway]]'s match in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]; and as an instrumental in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', for the [[Full Battle]] between Ash and [[Paul]] in the quarterfinals of the same event.

==Lyrics==
''<ab>Woah!
Woah!
This, this is the moment,
The moment we waited for,
This, the ultimate challenge,
A Champion can't ignore.

Both of us learning,
The skills to play the game.
Each one committed,
To bring honor to our name.
Always been the best of friends,
But fighting now to the bitter end.
And every step along the way,
Has led us to this very day.

This, this is the moment.
The ultimate moment.
Do we have the courage to survive?
This, this is the challenge.
The ultimate challenge.
This is the moment of our lives.</ab>''

==Trivia==
* This song holds the record for being used as lyrical background music the most number of times in a short span of episodes; a total of three times in 12 episodes.
* During all the times it was used, it replaced the original Japanese songs - ''[[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]]'', ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|Aim to Be a Pokémon Master 2001]]'', and ''[[Type: Wild]]''.

===Second edition===
VIZ Media began releasing new DVD sets of the Indigo League episodes again in November 2013. There are three volumes, which are DVD cases (rather than box sets) containing three discs each. The Complete Collection is a box set that contains all three of the second edition volumes. Optional English closed captioning is included on the DVDs.

The full version of the [[Kanto Pokérap]] is available on Disc 1 of the DVD box set without the first three intro sentences. The other discs don't feature the Pokérap. [[Pikachu's Jukebox]] is included with the episodes, but in a mostly different order than on [[Pokémon TV]]. [[Who's That Pokémon?]] is included on all episodes.

The discs are identical to those released in the first edition, except that this release does not include ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''.

====Volume 1====

==Trivia==
* On retail websites, the second North American boxset image shows [[Jessie's Arbok]] right next to her. However, on all actual boxsets it is Ekans that appears.
* On retail websites, Volume 1 of the second edition releases uses a different cover that labelled it as "Season 1" rather than "Volume 1".

Talk:Player character

2017-01-04T07:03:41Z

Knowitall: /* Sun and Moon's Names */

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

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

== Re-write? ==

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

== Backsprites ==

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

== Mentioning of Player in Mystery Dungeon? ==

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

== *COUGH* ==

Why do we need backsprites?--[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[Quilava (Pokémon)|Racer''']] [[User talk:RexRacer|'''''-talk''''']] 02:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
:We have them for Pokémon. So why not characters.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 02:54, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
::Because it made the page wayyy to big. Maybe if we didn't just have one, but all of those broken links look just awful.--[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[Quilava (Pokémon)|Racer''']] [[User talk:RexRacer|'''''-talk''''']] 02:58, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
:::We could resize them. We also have broken links on the Pokémon pages IMHO, it just lets someone know that the images should be created.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 03:01, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
::::Resize? Eww. Only one Pokémon even does that, and it's Deoxys. Perhaps I'll do a hack of the sprite template that'll allow for it. Or you can. I dunno. Yeah. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:07, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::I might be able to. what exactly do you mean?--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 21:38, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

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

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

== Dawn and Luca's Platinum sprites ==

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

== Two little things ==

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

== Gamecube game characters? ==

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

== Ranger ==

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

== The new girl ==

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

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

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

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

Until HG and SS are released here (as short a time as that'll be), Gold's HGSS sprite should be titled "Hibiki".

== Stadium characters ==

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

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

They probably just want to avoid speculation. Personally, I'm just glad the male trainer has a normal hair color. First in Generation III it was white, then in IV it looked purple (although ingame it looked more like black)

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

Can we add Orlando from the ORAS Special Demo Version? Surely Orlando should at least be mentioned on this page, especially as his Japanese name is Omega. [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 16:05, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

== Question ==

I only have a question rather than a suggestion, if this is not the place to do this let me know the right place please, how do you guys discover the names of the player characters, where is released?--[[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 17:31, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

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

== What? ==

Can someone please fix the page, someone has screwed it up and I don't know what text to put where in order to fix it. EDIT: It's now been fixed, thanks for whoever did it :) {{unsigned|Sun & Moon}}

== Sun and Moon's Names ==

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

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

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

::I agree that generation I could not be the only one of a kind with the main characters using the names of the game versions/manga version, their names can be Sun & Moon. Especially when we don´t know how to call them.-- [[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 02:46, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

:::I would actually suggest Elios (Sun) and Selene (Moon) for their placeholder names, since those were their given names in pre-release materials. Red and Leaf are the only player characters to be named after their game (if Kris/Crystal doesn't count), and I don't think they'd go back to that naming pattern now 13 years after the last one. [[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 03:36, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

I suggested this names back then but they said it was not 100% confirmed since Calem and Serena already changed names, but they preferred the last names that was used to call then in the demo, Sun & moon, if something important like this is not yet decided editions shouldn´t be locked again ultil it is?-- [[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 03:46, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
::Since Calem and Serena's names were '''X'''avier and '''Y'''vonne, it's likely those were meant to be like the names of their games, X & Y but a little more subtle. Elios and Selene at the moment also sound like that as they are from greek mythology, (H)elios and Selene being the titans of the sun and moon respectively.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]04:49, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

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

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

I never said Helio and Selene weren't acceptable. They're just isn't as much evidence for them. Sun is the name used in the demo. It is also the name used in the manga. Are these the most reliable sources? No, but they're the closest things to an official source we have. Unlike previous games, they don't appear as NPCs when we choose the opposite gender, so we can't rely on the games themselves. As for Moon, that is the name used in the manga for the female character, and Moon is the opposite of Sun, so it fits. [[User:Toolen|Toolen]] ([[User talk:Toolen|talk]]) 05:52, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
:Never go with the Adventures manga for the games' player characters' official names, they use the name of the games themselves for those characters, (with only two exceptions, but their names are quite close to their games' title, only missing a couple of letters). The female protagonist that appears with the Rotom hasn't been named yet in the manga (though likely it will be Moon), and they might pull a twist again like in the Diamond and Pearl chapter.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]05:59, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Considering the history up until this point, it's a safe bet it will be Moon. As for their reliability, I already said they are not the most reliable sources, but the names in the Manga and the Demo are the closest things we have to an official name. [[User:Toolen|Toolen]] ([[User talk:Toolen|talk]]) 06:23, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

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

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

It looks like we're going to have to do what we did with Kris and Leaf: use the most commonly used name amongst fans and/or the placeholder names on the games's ROM. I'm pretty sure that the placeholder names are Sun for the boy and Moon for the girl, which are also the most common names I've found when searching the web. Should I go ahead and add those to the article, or do we need to wait a little longer? [[User:Toolen|Toolen]] ([[User talk:Toolen|talk]]) 06:49, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

I figured as much. It looks like this issue will remain unresolved for the foreseeable future. [[User:Toolen|Toolen]] ([[User talk:Toolen|talk]]) 07:27, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

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

:Two pages cannot share the same title. It'd also be far more confusing to say "{{ga|Sun|Kai}}/{{ga|Moon|Lana}} can battle [[Lana]] at [[Brooklet Hill]]." The issue is that the female player character was given the name Lana in Japanese, and in Japanese, Lana's name is Suiren. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 11:26, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

:: Technically, they wouldn't have the same title. One page would be titled Lana (Trial Captain) and the other Lana (Player Character), like how some characters have their (Anime), (Adventures) and (Game) pages. But I see your point on how it'd be confusing in summaries... I guess Sun and Moon are fine, but it's so weird having player characters named after their games... We've only had Red, Kris(tal) and Leaf(green) before Sun and Moon. [[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 12:58, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

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

::::The names Sun and Moon are not "unofficial"; the names were used officially throughout the pre-release period.

:::::While pre-release promotional material shouldn't take precedence over in-game data and, as the last user mentioned, demos are unreliable, you do have a good point about English usage.

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

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

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

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

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

'''Be a Hero''' is the opening theme song for the English dub of the eighteenth season, [[S18|Pokémon the Series: XY - Kalos Quest]]. It was used from ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'' to ''[[XY092|All Eyes on the Future!]]''. The opening animation is composed of clips from the second version of the first {{series|XY}} Japanese opening, [[V (Volt)#Opening animation: Version 2 (XY029 - XY054)|Mega V]].

==Lyrics==
<ab>''You're just a kid on a quest
To be the best of the best
Someday you're destined for power and glory
You know you're up to the test
There's only one way to tell this story

Be a Hero! Be a Hero!
All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hand

Pokémon!''</ab>

==Trivia==
*Due to using scenes from Mega V which was not updated to feature [[Ash's Frogadier]] and was replaced before ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', this opening theme makes appearances on future episodes in where Ash's Froakie evolved into {{p|Frogadier}}, yet still featuring Froakie, and it also appears on episodes with Serena's new design, yet still features her old design.
*An instrumental version of this song was used in ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', ''[[XY082|Over the Mountain of Snow!]]'', ''[[XY085|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', ''[[XY086|The Tiny Caretaker!]]'', ''[[XY090|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', and ''[[XY092|All Eyes on the Future!]]''.
*As ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' used no opening, Be a Hero is the first dub opening theme since [[This Dream]] to not have an extended version.

==Blurb==

Ash may have lost his battle at the Oreburgh Gym, but he wants a rematch and he's down at the Oreburgh mine to train hard for round two. His hard work inspires Dawn to go back to town and train her own Pokémon for the upcoming Contest in Floaroma Town. But over at Oreburgh's museum, the fossil restorer machine has vanished, together with the fossil that was inside! It could only be the work of Team Rocket, who gets a big surprise when the stolen machine finishes reviving the fossil and a very irritated Aerodactyl emerges. After giving Team Rocket a good clobbering, it flies off toward Oreburgh City.

Aerodactyl causes a big commotion as it soars over the city, surprising Dawn and alerting the museum's scientists to the fate of their missing fossil. In the confusion, a Kabutops and Armaldo break out of their quarters and the scientists go to get Roark's help. Ash and Brock team with Roark to stop the rogue Pokémon, but Team Rocket appears and snatches Kabutops, Armaldo, and Roark's Cranidos!

Surprisingly, it's Aerodactyl who comes to the rescue—it swoops in and blasts Team Rocket once more, freeing the Pokémon and giving the scientists a chance to safely recall Kabutops and Armaldo to their Poké Balls. But now who's going to stop Aerodactyl? The guys all give it their best, but this time Dawn shows up to save the day! She has Piplup and Buneary team up to pin Aerodactyl so the scientists can put it in a Poké Ball. Then Roark's Cranidos evolves into Rampardos so it can take down Team Rocket, and the fossil restorer is returned to the scientists. All of which gives Ash an idea for his rematch with Roark...

==Plot==
{{Ash}} comes up to [[Roark]] and challenges him. {{an|Dawn}} dresses up as a cheerleader and with the help of {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, she cheers him on, giving him confidence.

Roark sends out his {{p|Onix}}. Ash sends out Pikachu. Pikachu uses {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Onix quickly uses {{m|Slam}}. Pikachu quickly dodges the attack and climbs onto Onix. Onix uses {{m|Screech}} to get Pikachu off, but it fails. Onix tries to shake Pikachu off, but it holds on tight. Pikachu quickly uses Iron tail and hits Onix. Onix uses {{m|Double-Edge}}, but Ash tells Pikachu to spin, avoiding the attack, and Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}}. Onix dodges the move, and then Onix slammed Pikachu right down to the ground. Onix uses {{m|Stealth Rock}}. Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}} and destroys every rock near it. It also hits Onix badly. Ash tells Pikachu to use Iron Tail. Roark told Onix to use Screech, but before it got a chance, Onix was hit, knocking Onix out. Roark recalls Onix and sends out {{p|Geodude}}. Ash decides to recall his Pikachu and sends out Aipom.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are snooping around the back of the [[Oreburgh Gym|Gym]]. Meowth used one of its claws to open up the back door. They find an empty hallway and they are ready to start stealing things.

Back at the Gym, Dawn, Buneary, and Piplup are cheering Aipom on. Croagunk notices something and decides to check it out. Aipom uses {{m|Swift}} on Geodude. It doesn't hit it because Geodude uses {{m|Rollout}}. Aipom uses {{m|Double Team}} and Geodude hits the wrong copy. Aipom uses {{m|Focus Punch}}, but Geodude blocks the attack. Geodude uses {{m|Seismic Toss}} and {{m|Rollout}} on Aipom, but it dodges the Rollout. Aipom uses Focus Punch again and knocks Geodude out. Finally, Roark sends out his best Pokémon: Rampardos. Aipom uses Swift, but it doesn't affect Rampardos at all. Rampardos uses {{m|Headbutt}}, but before Aipom could dodge it, it is hit and knocks out. Ash sends out Pikachu again.

{{TRT}} is still snooping around the Gym. They bump into Croagunk along the way. Jessie, James, and Meowth start to get nervous. Croagunk starts walking up to them and they step back.

Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Rampardos dodges and uses {{m|Zen Headbutt}}. Pikachu tries to jump away, but is hurt by the Zen Headbutt. Pikachu uses Quick Attack. Rampardos is about to use Headbutt, but Pikachu jumps away. Rampardos throws Pikachu off with its tail. Pikachu uses Iron Tail and Rampardos used Zen Headbutt. Rampardos uses Zen Headbutt one more time and Pikachu is knocked out.

Croagunk is still scaring Team Rocket out of the Gym. Jessie thinks that Croagunk wants to join their team, but Croagunk {{m|Poison Jab}}s her. James and Meowth pick her up and run away screaming.

Ash sends out Turtwig. Rampardos uses Headbutt, but Turtwig rolls away. Rampardos is about to hit Turtwig with its tail, but Turtwig {{m|bite}}s it. Turtwig tosses Rampardos away. Turtwig uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Rampardos burns it with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Rampardos uses {{m|Head Smash}}. Turtwig uses Razor Leaf, but is hit. Turtwig uses {{m|Synthesis}} to heal itself while Rampardos is suffering from the recoil from Head Smash, but Rampardos quickly snaps out of the recoil and uses Flamethrower forcing Turtwig to stop Synthesis to dodge the attack. Ash begins to panic because all he can do is defend himself. Rampardos is way too fast and Flamethrower will negate any Razor Leaf thrown at it, but this suddenly gives Ash an idea. He orders Turtwig to start running while using Razor Leaf at the same time. Rampardos uses Flamethrower, but Turtwig keeps going and soon the burned leaves begin to obscure Turtwig. Roark soon realizes Ash is trying to camouflage Turtwig with the burned leaves, so he orders Rampardos uses Zen Headbutt again. Rampardos charges forward, but Turtwig jumps away. Rampardos jumps, too, but it then shows that Turtwig is rolling under Rampardos. Rampardos is hit with a super-strong Razor Leaf, knocking Rampardos out. Ash wins his first Sinnoh Gym Badge!

'''Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection''' (Japanese: '''ニンテンドー{{j|3DS}} ポケモンオメガルビー・アルファサファイアスーパーミュージックコンプリート''' ''Nintendo 3DS Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Super Music Complete'') is the official soundtrack release for {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

It was released as an album in Japan on December 3, 2014. Overseas, it was released in digital format only on the {{wp|iTunes Store}} on December 21, 2014.

==Tracklist==
The first four discs contain all the music from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} (153 tracks) and 7 bonus tracks. The remaining two discs, not included in the international iTunes release, are a reissue of the [[Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire: Super Music Collection]].

In the international iTunes release, track 152 ''Obtained Bp!'' is a duplicate of track 151 ''Battle Maison'', an error not present on the Japanese album release. Track 49 ''Cable Car'' was originally labeled as a duplicate of track 48 ''Fallarbor Town'', an error that has since been corrected.

Tracks 76 and 77 are lyrical adaptations of in-game music, much like tracks 107-108 of ''[[Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire: Super Music Collection]]''. Tracks 78-80 are rearrangements of their respective in-game themes. Tracks 81-90 are from the [[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD|original Pokémon Red and Green soundtrack]] but with no in-game sound effects and the {{wp|Reverberation|reverb}} that was previously added.

Knowitall: /* Intro */

[[File:Hironobu Yoshida.jpg|thumb|Hironobu Yoshida (left) with [[Junichi Masuda]]]]
'''Hironobu Yoshida''' (Japanese: '''吉田宏信''') is a graphic designer who has been involved with several aspects of the Pokémon franchise for many years. Yoshida has been with [[Game Freak]] since 1997 and has had a hand in the development of the majority of main series [[Pokémon games]], both as a graphic and Pokémon designer. Pokémon he is known to have designed include {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Dunsparce}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}} and {{p|Magmortar}}. He is credited in several of the [[Pokémon movie]]s within the character design department and has illustrated a handful of cards for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. He also designed the main art for the {{TCG|2007 World Championships|2007}} and [[2011 World Championships]].

Additionally, he created an array of unique characters and lent his voice to some of them for the [[Game Boy Advance]] game {{wp|Drill Dozer}}, another Game Freak title directed by fellow Pokémon designer [[Ken Sugimori]] in 2005.

He has also branched into other media, performing a live-action version of the Poké Dude Show (an in-game tutorial featured in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), dressing up as [[Primo]], the Poké Dude, and giving advice on how to do various things in the Pokémon games. He reprises this role in the song [[Teach Me, Poké Dude!]], in which he engages a group of children in the same manner as the in-game character and provides the main vocals.

==Work for the TCG==
Yoshida's art style has changed noticeably since his first illustrations. Originally, his style was very similar to that of Ken Sugimori, using light shades of color. He was still experimenting during this time, as his {{TCG ID|Neo Discovery|Wobbuffet|16}} from {{TCG|Neo Discovery}} and {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Murkrow|46}} from {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} are noticeably different, having much more defined outlines and solid areas of color. By {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Yoshida had changed to giving his illustrations more tone definition and using much heavier outlines. He has continued to use this style in the few illustrations he has done since then. For a list of cards he has illustrated, go [[:Category:Illus. by Hironobu Yoshida|here]].

He also appeared in a photograph on the card {{OBP|Poké Dude|Fan Club promo}}, dress as the [[Primo|Poké Dude]].

うんうん、そうか！おしえテレビのおにいさんになりたいのか！
よーし、それじゃおにいさん、ますます張り切っていくよ！

おしえテレビの「テ」（テ～）
テトリアシトリの「テ」。
おにいさんのおしえ方のことだよ。
もうおしえテレビのない生活なんて考えられないね。

おしえテレビの「レ」（レ～）
レイギ正しく！の「レ」だ。
友達に負けても、泣きわめいたり、電源切っちゃダメだぞ。

おしえテレビの「ビ」（ビ～）
ビックリするほどポケモンが好きだ！！の「ビ」だね。
好きだろ？てれることはないんだ。
おにいさんだってもう２７歳なのに、ポケモンが大好きなんだからね！

おしえておにいさん　会いたくなったとき
セレクトボタンひとつで　いつでもどこでもおしえテレビで…
で、もちろん登録してるだろう？

好き好きおにいさん（好き～）　会うたびにときめく
高まる熱い気持ちは　どうすればいいの？おしえテレビ
お願い　今すぐ　おしえテレビでおしえて！

じゃ、またね！
よい子トレーナーのキミ、一日一善を忘れずに！（バイバイ！）</ab>
