'''PokéBeach''' is a Pokémon fan site run by Water Pokémon Master.

The site opened to the public on July 15, 2003, although Water Pokémon Master had been working on it privately since 1999. Since then, it has become one of the most popular Pokémon fan sites on the internet.

Although the site focuses on several aspects of the fandom, its primary focus is the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The site features scans of Pokémon cards, as well as guides on how to play the game.

In 2008, the web site was able to have an interview with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], a director and storyboard artist for the {{pkmn|anime}}. In it, he revealed much previously unknown information about the series.

In 2009, the site was able to go to the early screening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', even though Water Pokémon Master was not picked for the special rally from [[CoroCoro]].

Talk:Pokéwalker

2010-06-06T01:54:39Z

Legendhunter32: /* Is this true? */ new section

==Area Pokemon==
Is there going to be a section on what Pokemon can be found in the different areas? -Soprano23
:Look... at the area pages? The info is all there, it's on individual pages instead of on one big page. ▫▪''[[User:Tina|Ťïňắ]]'' [[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|♥]] 22:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
::Sorry, just saw that! -Soprano23

==Name==
I don't think it is called the PokéWalker, I think it is just called the PokéWalk. Could we possibly get a better picture too? The current one is very blurry. {{unsigned|MasterKenobi}}
:No, it's PokéWalker, I saw the Pokémon Sunday episode. Where'd you get "PokéWalk" from? [[User:Adamant|Adamant]] 16:03, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
::Nevermind, it was the name that Serebii was calling it but now he has it right. -[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 15:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

== PokéWalker and DS compatibility? ==

I'm wondering if the PokéWalker is truly compatible with the Nintendo DS, and DS Lite. Does anyone know if it will be DSi exclusive? On the wiki page it says this:
"The PokéWalker is only compatible with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver using a Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, or a Nintendo DSi system. "
Is it true? I really hope so. --[[User:Will.kaufhold|form]] 06:14, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
:HGSS, is compatable with ''all'' DS's so therefore so dose the PokéWalker. It will not be only DSi. --[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''☆Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチ''']][[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''ュウ!''']] 06:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
::'''すごい! ありがとう!''' --[[User:Will.kaufhold|'''form''']] 13:17, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
==Locations==
Should we make the pages of all the locations of the PokéWalker now. [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] '''''[[Special:Contributions/Turtwig_A|Contributions]]''''' '''''[[User talk:Turtwig A|Talk]]''''' 02:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
:Do you have info on them other than them being there in the pedometer and the Edge being unlocked by a Jirachi? [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 02:04, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

==PokéRadar==
I was wondering why the addition of details on chaining was removed from the page? I have checked the history, and there was no reason. I have tried and tested the method for a long time now, and it has proven to be accurate. {{Unsigned|Ryu Shoji}}
:Um, this is PokéWalker, not Radar article. [[User:Solar Dragon|Solar Dragon]] 16:11, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

- But the 'PokeRadar' is the name of the part of the PokéWalker that is used to encounter wild Pokémon, which has it's own method of chaining. [[User:Ryu Shoji|Ryu Shoji]] 19:28, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

:: And RyuShoji was talking about the PokéRadar function on the Pokéwalker itself. Much like some of the games have PokéRadar, so does the PokéWalker. That's what Ryu was saying! Maybe you should check the edit logs first, Solar Dragon, before assuming what the removed piece of text was? [[User:ASecondOpinion1501|ASecondOpinion1501]] 06:38, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
::: Edity bit: I have just noticed that the PokéRadar section hasn't been removed, just moved to a different section of the page. See [[Pok%C3%A9Walker#Gameplay]] [[User:ASecondOpinion1501|ASecondOpinion1501]] 06:43, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

== EXP etc ==
No info on how much exp you get from walking? I've also heard things such as how a Pokémon can't grow more then one level, and that if they miss moves that they would learn from leveling up if they level up on the PokéWalker. If this stuff is true it should also be mentioned.
Also stuff like what kind of battery it uses, etc. And what are the 'advantaged types' mentioned in the articles of the areas? Are these Pokémon types that deal more then 1 damage with an attack versus a wild Pokémon? [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]] 19:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
:Exp is 1 per step and only 1 level per walk as you said. If anyone wants to add this, the battery is just a watch battery (CR2032) and if it's important, the official website's PokeWalker FAQ estimates a 4 month battery lifetime. Whe don't really know what the advantaged types do yet. From my experience, they seem to have an affect on the rarity of itemfinder items at the very least. It appears that the step requirements will be (partially?) ignored sometimes as well if an advantaged type Pokemon is walking. They don't seem to affect battles or anything like that. Hopefully the Kanto guide goes into more details about what they do. I'm thinking we'll have the complete lists of all advantage types by around 10/29 when the Kanto guide comes out. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 23:38, 21 October 2009 (UTC))

:I've found that the pokemon achieves 1 level upon being returned to the Gameboy, no matter how many steps are taken. I'd kept a low-level pokemon in there for quite awhile and amassed tens of thousands of steps, yet only went up 1 level. Likewise, I've had some take far less steps than xp needed to level & still gained a level. I got my level 10 Magikarp up to level 19 very quickly using the PokeWalker, and the xp needed to level up was the same needed when first deposited. I only had to earn a couple hundred xp to evolve into a Gyarados rather than a few thousand. [[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 20:37, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

== Memory ==

NGamer thought of this: does the Pokéwalker have flash memory? Or does your pokémon disappear if the batteries run out/are removed? I'd of thought this is pretty important. [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 16:51, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:Your Pokémon will not disappear and in some cases steps and watts won't either, you could loose somewhere around an hour of progress by taking the batteries out so they recommend sending everything back to the DS before changing the batteries. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 16:54, 1 November 2009 (UTC))

:Left without a battery long enough, the Pokewalker will reset steps and watts to zero. I discovered this the hard way. :( But at least I didn't lose any pokemon or items. I don't know how long it takes to wipe the numbers, but it went 8 hours without a battery. --[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 02:16, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== Course Unlocks ==

When a course is unlocked, is it unlocked on the PokeWalker or on the DS cartridge? I had Yellow Forest unlocked on my copy of SoulSilver, but the card somehow became corrupt around the time the Wi-Fi promotion ended. I should be getting a replacement card in a few days but wonder if I'll still have access to Yellow Forest or if I should just keep my pokemon there until I get at least one Pikachu with Fly, just in case I can't go back. {{unsigned|MarkoOhNo}}
:The unlocked courses are in with your save file, so unfortunately if your save file becomes corrupt (or you start a new game) and lose the old save file, all the unlocked courses get lost as well. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 22:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC))
:That stinks. :( Well, guess I'll just have to keep Togepi in Yellow Forest indefinitely & only transfer the loot. At least until I'm able to unlock it for my English versions. It would be cool if transferring things to the game from a PokeWalker which is currently set to Yellow Forest would unlock it on that card too. That would be a great way to spread the unlock.[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 19:15, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

==Required Steps Question==
On each of the course pages, there's a listed amount of steps you have to take before you can encounter a Pokemon/find an item. My question is: Are these Pokemon unlocked "Forever", or only once per Day, or only while that particular Pokemon is in the PokeWalker, or anything else?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 17:46, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
:Once per day, everyday at midnight the step count resets itself and you will need to rebuild your steps back up to meet that certain Pokémon or find that certain item. I have also heard reports that if you are using the PokéRadar and it hits midnight it will force you out from using it (that does not mean if you are already in a battle, that means if you are in the process of searching for a Pokémon) ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 02:10, 19 November 2009 (UTC))

== W -> w? ==

Now that the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} page is updated with English box art, should we go ahead and start changing the name of the PokéWalker from PokéWalker to Pokéwalker based on what is written on the boxes? I don't mind doing the changes, but I want to make sure that it's okay before I attempt it :p ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 11:44, 12 December 2009 (UTC))
:Maybe it's better to wait for official confirmation from Pokemon.com or Nintendo. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 11:53, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
::Okay, that sounds good, that's what I was planning on in the first place, but when I saw that page got updated regardless I figured we might just as well go for it :p It can't be long until they eventually update anyways, so you're right I guess we should just wait. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 11:56, 12 December 2009 (UTC))
:::I'd say we wait until HGSS itself comes out. Never know if the boxart could change, even slightly, before release. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 08:54, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
::::Okay, they've finally confirmed it as 'w' in their press release here -> [http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=21788 Nintendo pressroom]. So should we start the change now? [[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 15:34, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

== Catch rates ==

What's the chance of a Poké Ball working in the PokéWalker? Does it use each one's individual in-game catch rate, or is it determined another way? [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU! [[User:Missingno. Master/The Order of the Glitch/Bulbapedia Branch|Join the Order of the Glitch!]] [[User talk: Missingno. Master|(my talk page)]] 11:15, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

== Man, I'm always full of questions... ==
Before me, anwser Missingno. master before me. But my question is, can the Pokéwalker connect with D/P? I really want to know. -[[User:?????|Question Marx]]
:No. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 01:25, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info! - [[User:?????|Question Marx]]

== I have something to add, but I have no idea where to put it... ==

I'm not really fluent in Japanese (I just can read it and I know a few words), so I'll just say what happens based on the picture. Sometimes, if you walk for a while the screen is blank, a happy face or music note appears above the landscape part and if you press the middle button, it says something and you get either 10 or 20 free watts. If it's a straight face, nothing will happen. Can someone add that, please? And if you can, try it and translate the text that it says. Thanks. [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 19:08, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
:I think that would be a good thing to add, however I'm not fully sure how it all works. When I can dedicate more time to it, I'll look into it a little bit more so that we can add that, but the guides don't detail anything and I know that they are not limited to the certain amount of watts (they will find items too) ... if no one has added it, in about two weeks I can dedicate some time to filling a section like that in :) ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 10:45, 30 December 2009 (UTC))
::Oh, OK, thanks.
::Edit: I just found out that there's a heart too that gives you 50 watts [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 19:38, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
:I'm curious as to if the step count is really accurate. It would be a worthwhile investment to put another pedometer next to the Pokewalker and compare the step counts, for both walking and running.[[User:Rcnrcn927|Rcnrcn927]] 02:19, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

== Resetting PokéWalker ==

Is there a way to reset the PokéWalker...? (Or am I kinda screwed?) I had a Pokémon stored on there when my cartridge's save file became corrupt. I exchanged the cartridge for a new one, but now I can't seem to use the PokéWalker. I can't transfer the Pokémon to another save file, according to what I've read, and I can't transfer another pokemon onto there. Taking out the battery for awhile didn't erase anything.... So now what? Toss the PokéWalker?? :P --[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 03:53, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
:You have to press Down + X + L and then connect with your Pokewalker. -- on another note, should those sequence of buttons be mentioned somewhere in the article? The other is Up + Select + R which brings back a Pokemon if the Pokewalker gets lost. I think it might be helpful information to add, but I'm not sure :p ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 07:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC))
::By all means, find a place. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:43, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

:I believe the reply seen elsewhere was "wait until game launch; packaging can change." And that came from TTE. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:36, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
::Yeah, but that was for the packaging :/ They now have it announced on the official website as a lowercase w... and that was said back when the only thing we had to go on was an unconfirmed picture of the box art :p Shouldn't we consider doing it now that the official website says it? [[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 09:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
:::Hmm... on top of that we should probably rename the instances of "Itemfinder" to "Dowsing Machine" as they have in their description on the website... [[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 10:15, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
::::I think we should just put Dowsing Machine as alternative text. Also, [http://www.pokemon.com/us/news/vg_hgss_news_walker-2010-01-06/ this is the source I forgot to provide].

:Well.. not really. You don't have a course map in-game in your bag, that's just the sprite used on the wonder card. As far as I can tell it's just the Town Map sprite from DPPt, but there might be some small pixel differences I can't tell by just looking at it. Though I do agree that there should be some info on the course maps on the page (like calling them 'courses' instead of 'areas')... ▫▪''[[User:Tina|Ťïňắ]]'' [[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|♥]] 21:43, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Though I agree that area was not a fitting name for them either :/ More than the icon provided above, I would like to see the course display icons added into the articles somehow if we could make that work... The problem is just getting the pictures to do it and then where to place them... [[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 02:34, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

:Watch battery. Just wait until you get yours. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:21, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I gotta stop by the store sometime later and pick some up. I hope they don't cost much.... [[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 17:45, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
:Update: I got 2 batteries for $7 at the local pharmacy. So they aren't a LOT... but they aren't cheap... depending on how much you have I guess. :P --[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 02:20, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== Earning Watts at a Certain Rate? ==

How many steps are required to Recieve a Single Watt? I Think it was 15-20 steps on the Pokemon Pikachu 2, but is that still the same on the Pokewalker?
[[User:Brock*PWN*|Brock*PWN*]] 22:49, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
:20 steps = 1 watt. I didn't realize that wasn't in the article, now to find a place for it :p ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 03:30, 16 February 2010 (UTC))

::::::Just thought I should mention this, it sort of does just make a copy of it. The best way to explain it is that it will take the Pokemon's information and save it within the game as if it's still there, but you won't be able to still see it within the game anymore. That is why in the event that your Pokewalker breaks, the Pokemon can be restored to the exact way you sent it without you losing any information on it. In other words, you can't "lose your Pokemon" by sending it to the Pokewalker unless you damage the game itself :p ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 05:57, 18 February 2010 (UTC))

== Two Seperate Questions... !/beeping? ==

So two things came into my head... on the page, it says that using the pokeradar can result in !, for Group C pokemon. but at the same time, ! is for Group C or B pokemon... shouldn't there only be one ! section, as both are the same? and question number two: does the pokewalker beep at all, and if it does can it be put to silent? many of my friends and I plan to bring these with us to school (free points for walking in the hallways =D) but dont want them taken away if they beep in class... thanks =D [[User:DeathByAnArrow |DeathBy]][[User_Talk:DeathByAnArrow |AnArrow]] 21:33, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
:There are three volume settings on the Pokewalker: loud, quiet, and silent. However, the 'walker does ''not'' beep for attention or anything like Tamagotchis and similar virtual pets would.

::::To answer your other question, the reason that the page lists !, !, !!, !!! is because that is the sequence that the Pokewalker dowsing machine uses. At first you will get one !, which will always be a group C Pokemon. If you get past that first !, then another ! will appear which can either be a group C or group B Pokemon. If you get past that, then you get a !! which will be either a group B or group A Pokemon. Finally, if you get past all of those you will get a !!! which will be a group A Pokemon only. Technically it should say something like ! (first) and ! (second), but I didn't want it to get too wordy...

:When you start the pokeradar you will always get a '!' above one of the patches of grass. If you click on that patch, then there is a chance either a Pokemon will or will not come out of it... if a Pokemon does not come out of it, then the '!' will disappear and a few seconds later another '!' will appear... this process continues until either you find a Pokemon or it runs away (you take too much time to click on the patch). Once you click on a '!!!' patch it will always have a Pokemon in it. And as said above, the sequence it will always goes in is: ! -> ! -> !! -> !!!.

I Heard that when the Pokewalker Battery dies out, you lose all your watts and steps, but not your Pokemon. What about the Pokewalker Courses themselves?[[User:Brock*PWN*|Brock*PWN*]] 13:58, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

What i mean is when like you lose all your watts, and then the new, lesser amount of watts is transferred over to the games, does the new, lesser amount of watts take away the courses that had been unlocked by getting those watts that are now gone?[[User:Brock*PWN*|Brock*PWN*]] 13:01, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
::I think what Yamino means is that the courses you unlock are saved on the DS game, rather then the pokewalker. So they wouldn't be lost, unless you lost the game. The watts are stored on the pokewalker, not the game. You keep a 'backup' of the Pokémon in the game that you can restore if the pokewalker battery dies, and the same is probably true with the courses (in a sense). watts just aren't saved in the game. But I mean I don't have it yet so that's just my guess. Also I'm guessing the watts required to unlock a course is the 'total watts ever obtained' not the current watts you have, so that would presumably be stored in the game? --[[User:Derian|Derian]] 13:09, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

:Just as a minor clarification, ''everything'' regarding watts/steps/routes for the Pokewalker is stored in the DS except for the watts that are on the Pokewalker itself that have yet to be transferred. Every time you connect the Pokewalker to the game, all watts you had will disappear from the Pokewalker (you'll go back to 0) and be transferred over to the games where they are stored and can't ever be brought back to the Pokewalker again. This is how routes get unlocked. Not by how many watts are on the Pokewalker itself at one time, but how many watts you have sent back to the game.

== How many Watts to unlock routes ==

To unlock the Resort Area and the Quiet Cave, would one need 180,000 watts, or 100,000 watts? Before I was thinking 180,000 watts, but now that I know that it takes 20 steps to get a watt, I'm more inclined to believe 100,000. [[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 05:23, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

== The Pursuit of Happiness ==

Carrying a pokemon in the Pokewalker increases its [[happiness]], however I've seen nothing anywhere which indicates the rate at which it increases. Do events increase happiness (catching a pokemon, finding an item, interacting with other Pokewalkers, etc) or do only steps matter in this effect? How much happiness do you get per how many steps? I'm thinking it's not comparable to steps taken in-game. I've been carrying my Eevee in the Pokewalker for at least two days and walked roughly 10,000 steps/day, but still get the "It's cute" message from the rater in Goldenrod City. (On the other hand, it comes across as VERY happy when I interact with it and based on what I've read in the summary reports after returning from a stroll.) Now that I do the math, though... 10000/256 steps is about +40 happiness.... Two days of this with no other increasing events would make the happiness level 150... still pretty close to the "It's cute" range.... Perhaps it IS comparable to the steps taken in-game happiness increasing event? But... on the other hand... it's carrying a Soothe Bell.... So it seems like that SHOULD make it 230.... Hmm.... If anyone has an answer for these questions, it would really help put my mind at ease. :)[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 08:15, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

== Version exclusivity? ==

So I'm using the Pokeradar at Beautiful Beach, and I notice something. I have never seen a single Staryu, Poliwag, or Wooper. Coincidentally (or is it?) that is exactly one 'mon from each rarity group. So I'm wondering, is this a series of increasingly unlikely coincidences, or are those three 'mons SoulSilver exclusives (conversely making Sunkern, Slowpoke, and Psyduck HeartGold exclusive)? And if the 'mons available on Pokewalker routes are version-specific, shouldn't there be some kind of mention of that? [[User:Billybobfred|Billybobfred]] 13:54, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
:Nope, they're not exclusive. You have a certain (maybe 50-50?) chance to get one of either group when you send your Pokemon to the Pokewalker. Take the Pokemon out and send it again and the available Pokemon may change. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 14:06, 30 March 2010 (UTC))

But yesterday when I trained a new Pidgey without the Pokéwalker it did learn the attack.

== 20 steps ≠ 1 watt with advantageous type ==

Bug pokemon are advantageous on Hoenn Field, right? So I decided to use one there and walked around a few steps, and then stopped and checked my steps and watts. I had gotten one watt from seventeen steps.

http://tinypic.com/r/j0bj12/5 - for video proof

at five watts I was on 95 steps, and at ten watts I was on 187 steps. --[[User:Quilford|Quilford]] 22:35, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

:I don't believe you're correct in your assumption. What I think is happening is that the watt generation uses its own 20-step counter that isn't affected by daily resets. You might have walked three steps the previous day, then it reset, then 17 steps the next day, which would have given you a watt without hitting 20 steps in that day. I can say that I always use advantageous types and, though the daily watts may be off by 0-19 steps, I am getting 1 watt per 20 steps.

:I think I can answer this. Pokérus is based on the Pokémon's Personality Values as well as the Original Trainer's ID (at least I think that's what I've heard).

== Two Questions Pertaining the PokéRadar ==

1. What exactly are the encounter rates of the pokemon in each group?

In other words, what exactly does "Very Common", "Common", "Rare" and "Very Rare" mean?

2. Does the speed with which I chose the marked bush influence my catching rate, or am I just deceiving myself thinking if I go more slowly I get "!!" more easily? =P

-- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 23:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
:They correspond to the values that I have pseudo-coded into each of the articles as reference. For example, Refreshing Field is (70, 50), (75, 75), (100, 100) -- (Doduo, Kangaskhan), (Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂), (Pidgey, Sentret). Each of those labels "very Common," "Common," "Rare," "Very Rare" were given ranges and applied based on these numbers in the official guides. The Yellow Forest Pikachu are (2, 3) -- (Flying, Surfing), so comparing (70, 50) with (2, 3), you can probably see why they are harder to find.

I couldn't answer the second question :s... I have no idea lol ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 01:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC))
::Where did you get these numbers? What do they actually mean? Because when you get '''!!!''' you are 100% guaranteed to get the group A active Pokémon.

Say for example that Doduo was the active Pokémon: Is the probability (70%:30%,Doduo:Nidoran) or (25%:75%,Doduo:Nidoran)?

:::From what seemed to be a rip of Pokewalker data taken when the games first came out in Japan that fully coincided with the Official Guides. I do not know when or how it randoms and works with the individual patches which is the reason I have not added them into the articles myself and the person who ripped it said they didn't know either. My best guess is as follows:

:::Let's say we have Doduo, Nidoran (regardless of gender because they are the same) and Pidgey (it doesn't matter). We would have (70, 75, 100)... when you look at how the system works, Pidgey has a 100% rate of showing up. This is so that you can't use the Pokeradar and not get any Pokemon at all. When the steps are too little for anyone in the B group to show up, C has it's full 100% only, meaning everything is C and nothing is B or A. When group B becomes available step-wise, in this case it has a 75%, so it will see if it's a hit or miss on group B. If it turns out to be a miss, then it will move onto group C with a 100% rate and pick group C. If it hits on group B, then you'll get group B. Technically, this lowers the chances to (B|75%:C|25%). The same works when A is available step-wise. Doduo will be looked at with it's 70%, if it's a miss, then it will random for group B which in this case is 75%, if that's a miss, then it will random for group C which is 100%, so you'll get a C. Effectively, this lowers the chances to (A|70:B|22:C|8) as an estimate when Doduo/B/C are chosen. -- Once it's done randoming, it could decide which number of !'s to send the player though based on the result... again... I don't know for sure about the minute mechanics... just those numbers haha... ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 02:54, 10 April 2010 (UTC))

== Running produces less Steps? ==

2 Days ago, I spent 1 hour and 30 minutes covering a considerable distance around and outside my neighborhood by alternating between running and walking. But the final count on my Pokéwalker was between 4500-5000 steps.
Yesterday, I spent only 1 hour covering a shorter distance with just walking and the final count on my Pokéwalker was between 6500-7000 steps.

== Dowsing Probabilities ==
Others I spoke to--and even myself--originally thought that the leftmost or rightmost grass tufts had better chances (when taking second pick into account), but I did the probabilistic math and it turns out that no matter which tuft you pick, your second pick choice will always give you the same opportunity. If that's not making sense; basically there's no difference in your overall chance of finding an item between ''any'' of the grass tufts. All assuming completely random item placement, of course. I can post the detailed math if anyone's interested. I know it's not really important, but it seems to be a point of confusion among people I've spoken to.

::I've tried to explain it in English but I end up complicating it. Basically the additional knowledge of where the item is doesn't help, since it still has a 1/5 placement. If you get 1/5 and 4/5 of 1/1 and 1/4 chances, it's the same as 2/5 and 3/5 of 1/2 and 1/3. The probabilities sort of "cancel" each other... But like I said I'm terrible at explaining this in English. If there's a serious question about whether the math is right, I can double check it with my probability professor from last semester. If it comes to it I'll see if I can work with him to determine this and the expected return of the entire game. But if nobody cares I won't bother. - [[User:Exawatt|Exawatt]] 06:28, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Sorry, having reworked the problem I agree. Sorry for wasting your time. I think I read down the wrong line of my tree diagram. Would you agree that there is a 50% chance of getting an item on a given game? Given that P(pick1) = 1/6, P(pick1fails)=5/6 And P(pick2)=2/5. P(wingame)=P(pick1)+P(pick1fails)*P(pick2)=1/6+5/6*2/5=3/6=1/2=50%. Hope you can understand this. Thank you for your time and for exposing my wrongness.—[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 01:43, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
::::This was the part where my own mathematical skills broke down. I don't remember the class covering the additional "knowledge" gained after the first pick (i.e. your second pick isn't 1/5 "random"). What math I guessed at came out to total chances around ~48% (which would indicate that even with proper knowledge of the game you have a greater chance of losing), but then I did it again and came up with a much lower chance (~38%), so I know I'm doing something wrong at that point. I have discussed the above part with a math major (and real whiz), and he agrees that the second choice odds aren't affected by the position of the first choice. But... that's all I've been able to prove at this point. I'll shoot an e-mail at my professor and update when (if) he replies. - [[User:Exawatt|Exawatt]] 02:40, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

== Moves ==

This applies to the Move pages but is about the Pokewalker - should we note that some Pokemon caught on the walker know moves they normally wouldn't know naturally? Like Sneasel, it can learn Crush Claw via breeding, but knows it automatically if caught on Icy Mountain Rd. on the walker. I'm gonna check but I'll wager there are other instances of this. There are also instances of Pokemon learning moves earlier than they normally wound - Elekid learns Thunder Punch at Level 28, but the Level 11 Elekid caught in the Suburban Area already know it. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 18:24, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
:[[User:Drake Clawfang/Sandbox|Yeah, take a look]]. Quite a few 'mons know moves when caught on the walker that they normally wouldn't. A note about this can easily be made here, but should we add this data to the separate move pages? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 18:56, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
::It helps to wait for a response when you ask something like that. Also, you're missing the most obvious and desired two: Surfing and Flying Pikachu in Yellow Forest. That's more notable than a Magby with Sunny Day, which it can learn by TM. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 19:31, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== Predicting the Items Received from Connecting two Pokéwalkers ==

I can't seem to find any information on the interwebs about people even asking the question about how the Pokéwalkers decide which items you get from connecting them. I asked myself this question and have done a bunch of test connections to see what items are received and now have a working method for predicting/''Choosing'' what items I get.

Now, this only works if no connections of this type have been done since loading the Pokémon into the Pokéwalker, but it takes very little time to trade the Pokémon back to HG/SS and then back to the Pokéwalker.

Here is a link to a forum post I made in the Bulbagarden forums, describing my findings.
http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=58929

I didn't want to edit the main page for the Pokéwalker quite yet since I do only have about 6 documented connections of this type which meet the criteria of neither Pokéwalker having an item from one of these connections. Every one of them has a result that could easily have been predicted by the method I listed on the Bulbagarden forum, though.

I'm hoping someone is willing to test my theory, though, so I can stop feeling like I'm just shouting my findings into the uncaring voids of the interwebs. {{unsigned|QuantumPolagnus}}

::These are interesting findings. I will begin testing it tomorrow. --[[User:Spiritgun|Spiritgun]] 21:46, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

==Pokewalker Pokemon Personality==

Something I noticed regarding the pokemon dropped into the pokewalker. Different pokemon seem to act differently.
Here is an example: If I don't take steps for a while, my Murkrow seems to get bored quickly and when I send it back to the game, it tells me that murkrow might have been born or maybe angry.
My other pokemon don't get angry with me.
Second example: My Onix seems to find items very often. Again, not something most of the pokemon I send in seem to do.

Perhaps the pokewalker takes a bit more information than originally believed.
Maybe certain natures cause certain events to occur more often.

Please add your own experiences with this phenomena, as well as some data on the pokemon: characteristic and nature.

== A group A pokemon can end up following you! ==

I was on yellow forest with no pokemon, one came to me and a caught two group B pikachus and a group A pikachu. When I returned from the stroll I had two surfing ones out of the four I got from that one transfer.[[User:ShoutingRyan|ShoutingRyan]] 01:58, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
:So you're sure that you returned with two group A Pikachu, two group B Pikachu and '''no''' group C Pikachu? ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 02:06, 29 April 2010 (UTC))
::This has happened to me as well. After walking a few hundred steps with the Pokéwalker without any Pokémon in it, an exclamation mark will appear and a message along the lines of "What? [pokémon] decided to follow you!" will appear if you press the middle button. Also, the message when you transfer it back to your game on the DS says "Before you knew it, [Pokémon] joined you! It seems to want to walk with you." I'd like to determine how many steps are required (if any) to get a Pokémon to follow you... ([[User:Tribor|Tribor]] 05:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC))

==Pressing Right when a pokémon appears==
While walking in the Yellow Forest (where else?) and using the Pokéradar, I noticed that if I pressed right several times while the pokémon was appearing, it would not force me to go into the whole battle scene, and I could just leave the battle. I tried counting the number of times, but I couldn't get it to fix on a number before I ran out of watts. Anyone else experience this? --[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 03:53, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
:I've got that occasionally, but I assumed that the Pikachu (given that I'm on Yellow Forest as well) had run away, and the timing of the button presses had matched the timing for the messages popping up, so it just appeared I had left the battle. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:25, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
::That happens too sometimes, but what I am talking about is as the pokémon appears, before either makes any moves, and before the "attack/evade/catch" option appears.--[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 00:06, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
:::Exactly. I think that it can happen any time that the wild Pokémon flees. If you push the button at just the right time the attack/catch/evade menu won't yet be visible, but it will register as evade. Then the wild pokémon flees, the animation for which is skipped by pressing any button to leave the battle. If the timing of the presses is just right then no menu will appear, making it seem that the battle has just been left. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:36, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

== Timing using the Poké Radar ==

Well, I thought I'd time how long it takes for a wild pokemon to run away in each of the ! groups. Here are my findings:

! (first) - 5 seconds;
! (second) - 4 seconds;
!! - 2 seconds;
!!! - 1 second;

This is potentially very useful information. Should it be added to the article in a new column in the "!s = what group" table?--[[User:Quilford|Quilford]] 07:14, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

== Running away...? ==

Well, many times I'd press the middle button on the wrong bush... and the Pokémon ran away. This seems to only happen during the second ! and after. This is potentially very useful information. Should it be added to the article?--[[User:Valorum27|Valorum27]] 01:49, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, I noticed that a few days ago, but I didn't see your post; I added it as soon as I discovered it. — [[User:Axxonn|'''Axxonn''']][[User talk:Axxonn|the]][[Special:Contributions/Axxonn|Awesometrainer]] 16:40, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

== Is this true? ==

Multiple Pokéwalkers
It is possible to use one game cartridge for multiple Pokéwalkers, however only one Pokémon is allowed to stroll at one time.
At the Pokéwalker connection screen Press and hold Down, X, and L .
WARNING : Resetting a Pokéwalker may also reset collected watts to zero on the game cartridge used to reset the Pokéwalker. When resetting a Pokéwalker, it is suggested that it is done with a game cartridge that has few or no watts.
After the "Caution!" message, say "Yes" and connect the additional Pokéwalker (Not the original Pokéwalker previously registered with the game), this will reset and register the new Pokéwalker with the game and reset current walk and step counters in-game temporarily.
Send over a Pokémon to the new Pokéwalker and return from stroll.
Either Pokéwalkers can now sync with the game and when the original Pokéwalker is connected for a stroll, the step count and original watt count should be restored. To have a Pokémon on the extra Pokéwalkers, a wild Pokémon from the selected walking route simply needs to "befriend" or join in the walk, this Pokémon and any other additional ones caught can return to the game normally. It is not possible to change routes on any additional Pokéwalker when a Pokémon is currently out on a stroll. The Pokémon that needs to be returned should appear on the top screen. To change routes, all Pokémon need to be returned into the game and then sent back out into either Pokéwalkers with the desired route and returned back into the game. --[[User:Legendhunter32|Legend Hunter]] 01:54, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Walkthrough:Pokémon Emerald/Part 1

2010-01-18T19:18:06Z

Legendhunter32: /* Littleroot Town */

This is part 1 of a Walkthrough that covers the journey through the Hoenn Region in Emerald.
==[[Littleroot Town]]==
After reading and completing the start-up screen with Professor Birch, you start in a moving truck. After exiting, you will meet with your mom who tells you to set your clock, once you've done that mini-quest, head back downstairs. The mom will be watching TV when the player goes back downstairs.

She quickly calls you to watch the T.V, saying that your dad might be on TV. However, the program ends. Your mom will continue to talk, and you learn that your father is the gym leader of the Petalburg City Gym. Your mom then suggests that you go and meet May (if you chose being a boy) or Brendon (if you chose being a girl), who lives right next door, they later become your rival. May/Brendan talks a little about what they want to do as a Trainer, and that Professor Birch is their father. They'll then leave.

You then must go rescue Professor Birch on {{rt|101}}, north of [[Littleroot Town]], from a {{p|Zigzagoon}}. You will choose a Pokémon from his case to battle the Zigzagoon, either {{p|Treecko}}, a {{type2|Grass}}, {{p|Torchic}}, a {{type2|Fire}}, or {{p|Mudkip}}, a {{type2|Water}}. This Pokémon will become your Starter, so choose carefully. After the Zigzagoon is defeated, Birch invites you to his lab. He talks a little bit about the responsibility of being a Trainer, then lets you keep your Pokémon. He suggests that you go to {{rt|103}} to battle May/Brendon (and won't stop talking until you say it's a good idea).

=={{rt|101}}, [[Oldale Town]], {{rt|103}}, and [[Littleroot Town]]==
In order to get to Route 103, need to take Route 101 to Oldale Town. With ledges blocking the way, you must go through the [[tall grass]] to keep moving north. Pokémon can be battled, but not captured, seeing as you don't have any [[Poké Ball]]s yet. It's good for the sake up the upcoming battle that your Pokémon gains [[experience|EXP]], so it would be wise to knock them out.

Once in [[Oldale Town]], you can learn about Poké Marts from the man in an apron walking outside. After telling you about them, he gives you a [[Potion]] as a "promotional item." Apart from the Poké Mart, there's a Pokémon Center and a few people who will tell you about certain basic foundations for Trainers. There's also a man blocking {{rt|102}}. Seeing as your rival is as powerful as you are, it would be a good idea to heal your Pokémon at the Pokémon Center.

Travel northward up {{rt|103}}. There are a few Trainers and some [[tall grass]]. At the end (a dead end) is your rival. Talk to May/Brendon, and you'll battle. Your rival has one Pokémon: a Level 5 {{p|Torchic}} (if you picked {{p|Treecko}}), {{p|Mudkip}} (if you picked Torchic), or Treecko (if you picked Mudkip). After you win, (s)he'll leave, and tell you to come back to the lab. You'll have to walk back to [[Littleroot Town]], but this time you can avoid the tall grass by jumping over the ledges.

Once you get back to Prof. Birch's lab, he'll give you the Pokédex, and your rival will give you five [[Poké Ball]]s. You can then leave for [[Petalburg City]]. Before you go, your mom walks out of your house and gives you the Running Shoes. She reads the instructions (hold down "B" while you're walking) and lets you go on.

===Pokémon===

On {{rt|101}}, you can battle:

{{ani|261}}{{p|Poochyena}} (common - 45%) 
{{ani|265}}{{p|Wurmple}} (common - 45%) 
{{ani|263}}{{p|Zigzagoon}} (rare - 10%)

On {{rt|103}}, you can battle:

{{ani|261}}{{p|Poochyena}} (common - 60%) 
{{ani|263}}{{p|Zigzagoon}} (common - 30%) 
{{ani|278}}{{p|Wingull}} (rare - 10%)

=={{rt|102}}, [[Petalburg City]]==

When you go back to [[Oldale Town]], the man blocking {{rt|102}} will be gone, allowing you to get to Petalburg City.

Once in Petalburg City, you can walk into the gym and talk to your [[Norman|Dad]]. He'll tell you a little about battling [[Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leaders]], and that he won't battle you yet because you're too weak. You will be able to battle him when you have four [[badge]]s. He'll then tell you that you should head for [[Rustboro]] City to the north-west and battle the Leader there. You'll have head west (right) of Petalburg Ciy and onto {{rt|104}}.

===Pokémon===
On {{rt|102}}, you can battle:

{{ani|261}}{{p|Poochyena}} (common - 30%) 
{{ani|265}}{{p|Wurmple}} (common - 30%) 
{{ani|270}}{{p|Lotad}} (uncommon - 20%) 
{{ani|263}}{{p|Zigzagoon}} (uncommon - 15%) 
{{ani|280}}{{p|Ralts}} (rare - 4%) 
{{ani|273}}{{p|Seedot}} (rare - 1%)

=={{rt|104}}, [[Petalburg Woods]]==

Once you get out of Petalburg City, you'll come to Route 104, a small route that leads to {{rt|105}} and the Petalburg Woods. Here you will also pass by an empty house; it will become important later, but for now it's empty. Continue on to the Petalburg Woods to the north. Once you get there, aim northward and you should get out easily. There are a few Trainers to battle, and one important piece of storyline.

When almost out of the woods, you will see a man getting attacked by an [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] grunt. You will have to rescue him. The grunt only has a {{p|Poochyena}}, so unless you're Pokémon are weak from the trip through, he should be beaten easily. Once you do, he'll run away, and the man will thank you gratefully and reward you with a [[Great Ball]].

The rest of the trip is simple. After you get out of the Petalburg Woods, you'll find yourself in the northern part of Route 104. There are some more Trainers, and then you can enter [[Rustboro City]].

===Pokémon===

On {{rt|104}}, you can battle:

{{ani|261}}{{p|Poochyena}} (common - 40%) 
{{ani|265}}{{p|Wurmple}} (uncommon - 20%) 
{{ani|183}}{{p|Marill}} (uncommon - 20%) 
{{ani|276}}{{p|Taillow}} (rare - 10%) 
{{ani|278}}{{p|Wingull}} (rare - 10%) 

In the [[Petalburg Woods]], you can battle:

{{ani|261}}{{p|Poochyena}} (common - 30%) 
{{ani|265}}{{p|Wurmple}} (common - 25%) 
{{ani|285}}{{p|Shroomish}} (uncommon - 15%) 
{{ani|266}}{{p|Silcoon}} (rare - 10%) 
{{ani|268}}{{p|Cascoon}} (rare - 10%) 
{{ani|276}}{{p|Taillow}} (rare - 5%) 
{{ani|287}}{{p|Slakoth}} (rare - 5%)

==[[Rustboro City]]==

In Rustboro City, you can battle [[Roxanne]], a {{type2|Rock}} Trainer. She will hand out the [[Badge|Stone Badge]] to Trainers who defeat her, she will also give you the TM {{m|Rock Tomb}}. Having the Stone Badge allows you to use the [[HM]] move {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Cut is not required to move on, but it helps. The HM ([[HM01]]) is given out by The Cutter, whose house is in Rustboro City.

There are two Trainers in the Gym before you face Roxanne, but you don't need to battle either of them. It's your choice.

Walkthrough:Pokémon Colosseum/Part 2

2009-12-31T18:12:19Z

Legendhunter32:

==Exploring and Escaping Phenac==
Talk to the lady. There is nothing to do here, so leave. Upon exiting, you'll come across three old men apparently from Team Snagem. Rui finds out you were from Team Snagem. It doesn't matter what answer you give her when she asks you question. One of them will eventually challenge you to battle.

'''Team Snagem Wakin''' 
[[Image:341.png]]Level 25 Corphish 
[[Image:109.png]]Level 27 Koffing

Still no challenge. Just keep to the old strategy of Bite and Confusion. Anyways, leave the City and go to the Outskirt Sands (a.k.a. the bar) because the Poké Mart here (first floor on the left) doesn't sell any. Talk to the barman and he'll give you five Poké Balls for free. You can now buy Poké Balls and Great Balls. Buy several Great Balls and leave the bar to return to Phenac City.

As soon as you return one of the cityfolk who helped you save Rui greets you. "Something terrible has happened". Something has gone wrong in the Mayor's house. Now would be a really good time to heal your Pokémon at the Pokémon Center and save. Enter the Mayor's house. Instead of Es Cade, You'll run into Miror B., a Cipher Admin (what is this? We'll find out later) with an afro and five thugs. You'll hear your first glimpse of Miror B.'s great theme music. Miror B. precedes to leave along with the red, blue, and green grunts. The other two will challenge you. First is a rematch against Folly, who has gotten a promotion.

'''Miror B.Peon Folly''' 
[[Image:293.png]]Level 26 Whismur 
[[Image:270.png]]Level 27 Lotad

Folly goes down just like the other three battles you've done so far. Easy. His friend Trudley tries to do what Folly couldn't. Two matches in a row!

'''Miror B.Peon Trudly''' 
[[Image:355.png]]Level 25 Duskull 
[[Image:167.png]]Level 25 Spinarak 
[[Image:296.png]]Level 30 '''Shadow''' Makuhita

The first challenge. The first Shadow Pokémon you'll meet is Makuhita. This guide will cover catching every Shadow Pokémon. Duskull and Spinarak should go down easily. A good strategy for your first Shadow Pokémon is to weaken it with Bite, and have Espeon use Helping Hand. Weaken it into the yellow/red health bar and a Great Ball or two should do the trick. Congrats! You caught your first Pokémon. Your party now has 3 Pokémon. A note: if you ever miss your chance at catching a Shadow Pokémon, you can catch every Shadow Pokémon at the end of the game.

Now go outside. If you want a few Super Potions they are just below the green grunt. Now you're faced with a choice. The three exits to the city have three different trainers that have three different shadow Pokémon: the Stage 1 evolutions of the Johto starters. Choose your starter. The green guard has Bayleef, the blue guard Croconaw, and the red guard Quilava.

'''Mystery Troop Verde/Rosso/Bluno''' 
[[Image:325.png]] Level 24 Spoink 
[[Image:088.png]] Level 26 Grimer 
[[Image:153.png]] Level 30 '''Shadow''' Bayleef (Verde only) 
[[Image:156.png]] Level 30 '''Shadow''' Quilava (Rosso only) 
[[Image:159.png]] Level 30 '''Shadow''' Croconaw (Bluno only) 

You can catch the other two starters towards the end of the game. Weaken your starter and throw a Great Ball. Be careful, you don't want to faint your Pokémon. After the battle is over, the other two thugs leave and your defeated thug runs like a baby. You can now leave the City (but with what's ahead you might wanna heal+save at the PC (short for Pokémon Center). Head to the Construction Lot. There's nothing here. Now on the map head to Pyrite Town. This town is full of thugs, bad trainers, and tons of Shadow Pokémon. If you really need to, head to the Outskirt Sands and get some more Great Balls.

Signature move

2009-12-29T01:31:32Z

Legendhunter32:

'''Signature moves''' are [[move]]s that can only be learned by a single [[Pokémon]] or a very small select group of Pokémon by level-up (with the exception of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}}), usually in the same evolutionary line. Note that any of the moves included in this classification (except for {{m|Chatter}}) can be learned by {{P|Smeargle}} by use of {{M|Sketch}}, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately. Also, some of these moves can be passed down via {{pkmn|breeding}} to other Pokémon.

==List of Pokémon and their signature moves==
Note: All levels listed are the level the Pokémon will learn the move as of [[Generation IV]].

==One-off signature moves==
This is a list of signature moves that at only one point, another Pokémon had the ability to acquire:

* A {{p|Dratini}} that knows '''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}''' is obtainable in {{game|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} after answering a quiz in the [[Dragon's Den]].
* An egg will be given by the daycare man in {{game|Crystal}} that hatches into a random baby Pokémon that knows '''{{m|Dizzy Punch}}'''.
* A {{p|Skitty}} with '''{{m|Pay Day}}''' can be obtained from a special {{Pkmn|egg}} after depositing 500 Pokémon in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] from a Game Boy Advance game pak.
* After [[Shadow Lugia|Lugia]] from [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] has been purified, it learns '''{{m|Psycho Boost}}''' and '''{{m|FeatherDance}}'''.
* Similarly, after {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} from Pokémon XD have been purified, they all learn '''{{m|Extrasensory}}'''.
* A {{p|Darkrai}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''' and '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[The Rise of Darkrai|10th movie]].
* An {{p|Arceus}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''', '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''' and '''{{m|Shadow Force}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life|12th movie]].

==Other signature move examples==
* Although other Pokémon are capable of learning '''{{m|Drill Peck}}''', {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Zapdos}} are shown to be the most common Pokémon to use it.
* The {{p|Squirtle}} evolution family and {{p|Sharpedo}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Skull Bash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM40]] in [[Generation I]].
* Although '''{{m|Megahorn}}''' was {{p|Heracross}}'s signature move prior to [[Generation III]], it should be noted that it is still the only {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon that can learn the move.
* {{p|Sudowoodo}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Mimic}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation II]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM31]] in [[Generation I]] and [[move tutor]] in [[Generation III]].
* {{p|Lucario}} is usually associated with '''{{m|Aura Sphere}}''' and '''{{m|Force Palm}}''', but eight Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total. Seven Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Force Palm. However, it should be noted that Lucario is the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn Aura Sphere naturally.
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, and {{p|Blastoise}} have traditionally been associated with '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''', '''{{m|SolarBeam}}''', and '''{{m|Hydro Pump}}''', respectively since [[Generation I]], despite the fact that several other Pokémon can learn those moves. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], it even refers to {{m|Flamethrower}} as {{p|Charizard}}'s signature move.
* Eight Pokémon can currently learn {{p|Arcanine}}'s former signature move, '''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}'''.
* {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} had '''{{m|Waterfall}}''' as their signature move in [[Generation I]], before it was changed to a [[HM]]. They are still the only ones to learn it by level up.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}} is the only Pokémon who can learn '''{{m|Mega Kick}}'''. However, in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, others could learn it through [[TM]] or [[move tutor]].
** As for '''{{m|Jump Kick}}''', it was its signature move for the first three generations, however it was discovered that {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Lopunny}} can learn it in Generation IV.
* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|Acid Armor}}''', respectively. Both abilities are alluded to in both Pokémon's various Pokédex entries. However, many Pokémon learn both moves by leveling up, and some through {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* {{p|Suicune}}, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move '''{{m|Aurora Beam}}'''.
* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move and is most associated with it; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.
* {{P|Unown}} can learn only '''{{m|Hidden Power}}'''; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM10]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond.
* Each of {{p|Rotom}}'s forms has its own signature move that cannot be carried over to any of its other forms. However, none of these five moves are exclusive to it.
* Although several Pokémon can learn it by TM, until Generation III only {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} could learn '''{{m|Dig}}''' by level up.
* Until Generation III, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Weezing}} were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Smog}}'''. As of Generation IV, they are still the only Poison-types to learn the move naturally, and all other Poison-types must be bred the move to have it.
* Though many others can learn it through TM or breeding, {{p|Skarmory}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Steel Wing}}''' by leveling up.
* {{p|Vigoroth}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Focus Punch}}''' by leveling up. This is probably because of the name of its ability. However, it also learns other Fighting-type moves by level-up, such as '''{{m|Reversal}}'''.

Lake guardians

[[Image:LakeTrio.gif|thumb|right|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.]]
The '''lake guardians''', sometimes referred to as the '''lake trio''' or the '''legendary pixies''', is a term used to describe the [[legendary trio]] residing in the three lakes of [[Sinnoh]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. They are meant to represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower, respectively. They are based off of the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}: the {{wp|Yata no Kagami}} (wisdom), {{wp|Yasakani no Magatama}} (benevolence), and {{wp|Kusanagi}} (valor).

Unlike previous trios, all three of the lake trio are of a single type, the {{type2|Psychic}}, though like the others, they share an [[ability]]: {{a|Levitate}}. According to [[Sinnoh myths|legend]], when {{p|Arceus}} created the universe it created Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, and therefore is believed to be their [[Trio master|master]]. According to one of Azelf's Pokédex entries, all three of them were born from the same egg.

It is interesting to note that each of the members of the lake trio has one of the qualities of the [[wikipedia:Abrahamic God|Abrahamic God]]: Uxie is omniscient, Mesprit is omnipresent, and Azelf is omnipotent. They could also be equated to, respectively, the Greek/Roman deities of {{wp|Athena}}/{{wp|Minerva}}, {{wp|Poseidon}}/[[wp:Neptune (mythology)|Neptune]], and {{wp|Zeus}}/[[wp:Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]]. Another parallel for the trio rest within {{wp|Norse Mythology}}. {{wp|Odin}} along with his brothers {{wp|Vili and Vé}} bestow upon {{wp|Ask and Embala}} various corporeal and spiritual gifts similar to those the trio represent. Odin gave soul and life; Vili gave wit (intelligence) and sense of touch; and Vé gave countenance (appearance, facial expression), speech, hearing, and sight. It should also be noted that parts of their name come from fantasy creatures, {{wp|pixie}}s, {{wp|sprite}}s and {{wp|elf|elves}}, respectively. The other parts of their names come from pronouns: you ('''U'''xie), me ('''Me'''sprit), and us ('''Az'''elf).

The members of the lake trio are tied for the lightest legendary Pokémon, and, tied with {{p|Rotom}}, are second for the lightest of all Pokémon (after {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}).

==In the games==
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl & Platinum===
The three pixies are obtainable in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum after the defeat of [[Team Galactic]] at [[Mt. Coronet]]. Uxie resides at the northern tip of Sinnoh, [[Acuity Cavern]]; Mesprit, after being encountered in [[Verity Cavern]], will roam throughout Sinnoh; and Azelf sits at the mid-eastern part of Sinnoh, sitting in [[Valor Cavern]].

</gallery>

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
The pixies are also found in second mystery dungeon games. They are found in three different lakes and are in charge of protecting the time gears.

==In the anime==
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|250px|In the anime]]
All three first appeared in forms similar to souls, floating above their respective lakes, to the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}'s main characters. Mesprit appeared to {{an|Dawn}} during the start of her journey in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', Azelf appeared to {{Ash}} during the duration of the [[Wallace Cup]] in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and Uxie appeared to Brock while he was looking for a [[berry]] in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''. Due to these encounters, all three established a connection to the human they each met.

They appeared in their physical forms for the first time in [[DP151]], wherein, after being hired by [[Team Galactic]], [[J]] was able to capture all three of them. Team Galactic was then able to control them using red gems. With their power, [[Cyrus]] was able to summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} during [[DP152|the next episode]].

When the gems were broken by {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, the three were set free from Team Galactic's control. They then helped Ash and his friends stop the effects of summoning Dialga and Palkia.

==Trivia==
* As seen in the pictures above, the two circles in each of the Pokémon's caves are the relative positions of the other two, although the meaning of the shapes of the puddles is unknown. They could be there to show where the other members are located on the overview of the [[Sinnoh]] region, though.
* The lake trio is the only trio whose members are all the same type. However, the [[legendary birds]] and the [[dragon trio]] share secondary types.
* The lake trio are the first set of [[legendary Pokémon]] since the legendary birds to have their names changed for the English language versions of the game - from Yuxie, Emrit, and Agnome to Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.
* The lake trio helps the player through the [[Distortion World]] in {{game|Platinum}}.
* The lake trio contains the three {{wp|subtractive colors}} of yellow (Uxie), magenta (Mesprit) and cyan (Azelf).
** In addition; they share the same main colors with {{p|Cresselia}}.
* The trio's encounter music is a different version of their cavern music.
* None of the lake trio can learn [[HM]] moves.
* Each member of the lake trio has appeared to one of the three current main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}}:
** Mesprit appeared to {{an|Dawn}}, highlighting her ability to understand what Pokémon feel, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]''.
** Azelf appeared to {{Ash}}, highlighting his courageous actions without fear of his own harm, in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]''.
** Uxie appeared to [[Brock]], highlighting his superior knowledge of Pokémon to his companions, in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''.
**Coincidentally, the genders of the three main characters are parallel to the trio's genders in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
*The lake guardians are sometimes referred to in Japan as the "UMA trio" or "UMA combination", with "UMA" standing for "unidentified mysterious animal". Coincidentally, "UMA" is the initials of their English names.

Turnback Cave

2009-11-26T17:30:20Z

Legendhunter32: /* Trivia */

{{spading|Turnback Cave|comment=Is there a way to consistently get through the cave?}}
----
{{Infobox location
|image=Spring Giratina.png
|image_size=256
|type=shadow
|location_name=Turnback Cave
|japanese_name=もどりのどうくつ
|translated_name=Returning Cave
|location=[[Sendoff Spring]]
|region=Sinnoh
|generation={{gen|IV}}
}}

'''Turnback Cave''' (Japanese: '''もどりのどうくつ''' ''Returning Cave'') is a maze-like cave filled with dense {{DL|Weather conditions|fog}} which is home to the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Giratina}}. Turnback Cave is located at the north-central region of [[Sendoff Spring]], which itself may only be accessed through the [[Spring Path]]. In Diamond and Pearl, in the room Giratina resides in is an inscription that implies the cave is a location where the separation between the real world and the [[Distortion World]] is weaker. This is more or less confirmed in Platinum, where a portal to the Distortion World appears in front of the inscription.

The only way to locate Giratina is to pass the three pillars before passing through thirty rooms. The best hint to navigate the puzzle is to look at the pattern of rocks on the floor of each room, and enter the door out of the three which has the odd pattern. When the three pillars have been encountered the first time, Giratina will be in the next room. Escape Ropes are not usable, but if one turns back and leaves through the door from which they entered, it will warp them directly to the first room. When the player reaches a pillar and examines it two numbers will appear: the top number indicates which pillar the player is looking at, and the bottom indicates how many rooms have been passed through on the way to it.

After catching Giratina, one can return through the cave to obtain a rare item, depending on how many rooms it takes to reach Giratina's room again. In just 3 rooms, the item will be a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Reaper Cloth}}; 4 to 15 will earn a {{DL|Valuable item|Rare Bone}}; 16 to 30 will earn a {{DL|Valuable item|Stardust}}. Over 30 rooms, of course, will return the player to the entrance. Riding the [[Bicycle]] seems to increase the chance of next entering a pillar room. Rare items regenerate by returning to the cave each time, and they can even be received with Giratina still in the room. In {{game|Platinum}}, it will have an item and the portal to the [[Distortion World]].

==Geography==
===Rooms and pillars===
[[Image:Turnback pillar.PNG|A pillar|thumb|256px|right]]
There is much mystery shrouding Turnback Cave, in relation to getting consistently to {{p|Giratina}}'s room. Rooms occur randomly when the player goes through an entrance. The only way to locate Giratina is to pass the three pillars before passing through thirty rooms. The best hint to navigate the puzzle is to look at the pattern of rocks on the floor of each room, and enter the door out of the three which has the odd pattern. Riding the Bicycle also seems to help. When the three pillars have been encountered the first time, Giratina will be in the next room. Each pillar has two numbers on it: the top number indicates which pillar the player is looking at, and the bottom indicates how many rooms have been passed through on the way to it.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the item that can be obtained in the last room can be found right behind Giratina, hidden out of sight.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, if {{p|Giratina}} is not caught in the [[Distortion World]] then it will appear here, in the final room instead of the portal to the [[Distortion World]]. However, after it has been battled, the portal will appear where it was.
* Turnback Cave is similar to locations in [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]]. In Kanto, [[Cerulean Cave]] can only be visited after obtaining the National Dex, and is home to high level Pokémon and a {{p|Mewtwo|level 70 legendary Pokémon}}. However, Hoenn's [[Sky Pillar]] is perhaps more similar, since while it is home to high level Pokémon and a {{p|Rayquaza|level 70 legendary}}, in the [[Pokémon Emerald Version|third game of that region]], it can be visited before the [[Elite Four]].
* Turnback Cave and the [[Distortion World]] may draw some inspiration from the Japanese underworld, {{wp|Yomi}}. Giratina itself can be seen as a parallel to the kami {{wp|Izanami}}.

'''Riolu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リオル''' ''Riolu'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Lucario}} via [[Happiness#Evolutions|happiness]] during the [[Time|day]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Riolu is a small, blue, dog-like Pokémon. Its legs and torso are colored black. Riolu's tail is blue and it has a yellow collar. There are rounded bumps on the backs of Riolu's forepaws,which could be the beginnings of the spikes on {{p|Lucario}}'s forepaws. Riolu has a black "mask" and red eyes.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Riolu are sensitive to a special type of energy called [[Aura]]. Riolu's evolved form, Lucario, can use these waves to attack, or study these waves to predict the movements of their opponents, and use them to track anyone. However, Riolu does not have the ability to fully use these powers, although it can still emanate these waves to communicate and sense them - albeit only in "ripples" as opposed to the "waves" of energy its evolution can sense and guide. Most notably, it cannot learn {{m|Aura Sphere}} or {{m|Detect}} naturally, two moves that Lucario learns that are often attributed to its aura powers. However, it does have a remarkably similar movepool to the [[Hitmons]].

Like almost all Fighting-type Pokémon, Riolu naturally has superhuman strength, stamina, and endurance and is capable of making long journeys on foot in a short amount of time.

===Behavior===

Riolu are playful, energetic and loyal.

===Habitat===
Riolu is incredibly rare in the wild. It's so rare that the general location of Riolu dwellings are fully unknown.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Riolu.png|thumb|210px|right|Riolu in the anime]]
Riolu has made an appearance during ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts One]] [[DP072|and Two]]'', which aired as a one hour special commemorating the release of [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. This Riolu had been trained to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} and was unnaturally strong. It was taken away from its owner by a group that wanted to exploit it but Ash and co. returned it, with [[Kellyn]]'s help. This Riolu developed a strong bond with Ash.

A Riolu appeared in {{MTR}}'s [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP071|Riolu|Ash's Pokédex|Riolu, the Emanation Pokémon. When sad or scared, Riolu's [[aura]] becomes stronger as a way of signaling its allies.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, [[Maylene]] has a Riolu. It is seen using {{m|Drain Punch}} against {{adv|Pearl}}'s {{p|Monferno}}, who {{adv|Platinum}} borrowed in order to fight her.

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] [[Hareta]] gained a Riolu egg in ''[[DPA10|Serious Training on Iron Island!!]]'' which hatched into a Riolu later on in that chapter.

==Trivia==
*Riolu shares a number of traits with {{p|Togepi}}, notably that both are received as {{pkmn|egg}}s from an NPC in the generation of their introduction, and when hatched, cannot breed until they have evolved.
**Additionally, their fully evolved forms ({{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Togekiss}}) are the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Aura Sphere}} (although Riolu itself may learn Aura Sphere through [[Ranger Net|special means]]).
**Both of their evolutions gain a secondary type upon evolution, and can only evolve once in the Generation they were introduced in.
*Riolu is the only pure {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon whose evolution is not, as Lucario is {{t|Fighting}}/{{t|Steel}}.
*Riolu is the only Pokémon that evolves by [[happiness]] that cannot be captured in a [[Luxury Ball]]. This is because it cannot be found in the wild at all.
* Both of Riolu's [[Ability|abilities]] have something to do with [[Flinch|flinching]]. {{a|Steadfast}} makes Riolu faster when flinching, whilst {{a|Inner Focus}} protects it from it.
**Due to this combination, Steadfast can only activate in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] if Riolu becomes {{DL|Seeds|X-Eye Seed|cross-eyed}}.
*When Riolu became a starter in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} it became the first [[Starter Pokémon|starter Pokémon]] to be unable to be recruited or captured in another game of its trio as it can't be found in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Darkness]] without using [[Wonder Mail]].
===Origin===
Riolu appears to be based on the Egyptian god {{wp|Anubis}}, who has the head of a jackal.
====Name origin====
Riolu's name is simply Lucario's name with the last two syllables placed in the front and the ''ca'' part taken out altogether.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Riolu
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Riolu

Partner Pokémon

2009-11-24T23:58:51Z

Legendhunter32:

'''Partner Pokémon''' are [[Pokémon]] who are allowed to always accompany a {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} and do not leave after using a [[Poké Assist]] like other Pokémon. So far there are 19 partner Pokémon, spread between the two Pokémon Ranger games, {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

=={{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}==
There are only 2 partner Pokémon in this game, they are {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. The one which the {{player}} gets depends on their chosen [[gender]], with males receiving Minun and females receiving Plusle.

|}

=={{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}==
The number of possible partner [[Pokémon]] was greatly increased, now up to 17, one for each [[elemental type]]. The {{player}} encounters their first at {{DL|Vientown|Nabiki Beach}}, either {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Starly}} or {{p|Munchlax}}. The two not chosen are obtainable later on in the game. Also, throughout the game, the player can obtain different partner Pokémon by completing certain quests involving the Pokémon. However, Kricketot, Croagunk and Mime Jr. are obtained during the main storyline. In the game players are only allowed to take one partner at a time. The rest remain at the partner farm in [[Chicole Village]].

Partner Pokémon

2009-11-24T23:52:03Z

Legendhunter32:

'''Partner Pokémon''' are [[Pokémon]] who are allowed to always accompany a {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} and do not leave after using a [[Poké Assist]] like other Pokémon. So far there are 19 partner Pokémon, spread between the two Pokémon Ranger games, {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

=={{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}==
There are only 2 partner Pokémon in this game, they are {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. The one which the {{player}} gets depends on their chosen [[gender]], with males receiving Minun and females receiving Plusle.

|}

=={{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}==
The number of possible partner [[Pokémon]] was greatly increased, now up to 17, one for each [[elemental type]]. The {{player}} encounters their first at {{DL|Vientown|Nabiki Beach}}, either {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Starly}} or {{p|Munchlax}}. The two not chosen are obtainable later on in the game. Also, throughout the game, the player can obtain different partner Pokémon by completing certain quests involving the Pokémon. However, Kricketot, Croagunk and Mime Jr. are obtained during the main storyline. In the game players are only allowed to take one partner at a time. The rest remain at the partner farm.

The '''Sinnoh region''' (pronounced /ˈsɪnno/) (Japanese: '''シンオウ地方''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a [[region]] in the [[Pokémon world]], the setting of the [[Generation IV]] games {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}}, southern part of the Russian island of {{wp|Kunashir}} and the Northeastern island near Sinnoh resembles part of the Russian island of {{wp|Sakhalin}}, which are claimed by the Japanese government, and according to the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Sinnoh region is located north of the [[Kanto]] region.

==Geography==
===Environment===
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. The region also features full-land geography, with only five [[sea route]]s. Despite this lack of sea routes, a direct opposite of the [[Hoenn]] region, the Sinnoh region is known to be rich in water, and has three lakes at the northernmost ([[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]), easternmost ([[Lake Valor|Valor]]), and westernmost ([[Lake Verity|Verity]]) ends of the main continent that are home to the members of [[lake guardians|one of the legendary trios of Sinnoh]]. Near Lake Valor, as well, there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]].

Due to its large size, the main region of Sinnoh can be broken into two sub-regions divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region. Due to this, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have developed an instance of regional speciation, with members of the species found on the eastern side being blue-colored and members on the western side being pink-colored.

The western half of Sinnoh features a variety of landscapes. Its coasts are notably more rocky than the eastern half, however, the land is far more fertile, and the towns, for the most part, are rural. A windswept canyon, carved out by a river that flows from Mt. Coronet, is home to the [[Valley Windworks]], which provides clean, wind-driven electricity to the nearby towns. This is not to say, however, that there is no importance to west Sinnoh, as [[Oreburgh City]], [[Eterna City]], and [[Canalave City]] are the locations of [[Pokémon Gym]]s, and [[Jubilife City]], at the heart of the area, is the most technologically advanced city in the region.

Sinnoh's eastern half is home, however, to a vast many more things, including [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in [[Hearthome City]], a [[Veilstone Department Store|Department Store]] in [[Veilstone City]], the [[Great Marsh]] of [[Pastoria City]], and the awe-inspiring [[Vista Lighthouse]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. In each of these cities, as well, there is a Pokémon Gym, which is very important for League-bound {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mt. Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area, likely due to the harsh snows that blow down from the mountain's peak, making the area not only very cold, but as well making a trip northward very perilous. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint as well has a Pokémon Gym, making it another important stop for Trainers who wish to compete in the Pokémon League.

A third sub-region is the [[Battle Zone]], which is on a large island to the northeast of the mainland. Much like how people from the [[Sevii Islands]] seem to consider their home to be a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], people from the Battle Zone often refer to Sinnoh as a separate region. Several islands, including [[Newmoon Island]], [[Fullmoon Island]], and [[Iron Island]], lie off the northwestern coast of Sinnoh as well, though these are far eclipsed in both size and importance by the mainland.

Separated from both the Battle Zone and the mainland of Sinnoh by several straits is the island on which {{si|Pokémon League}} of Sinnoh is located, the only access to which is by way of {{rt|223}}. It is here where Sinnoh's {{si|Victory Road}} is located, which, unlike previous incarnations has not two, but three entrances: One of these, of course, is the southern entrance that Trainers from the mainland must navigate from, a second is the one that leads to the area in which the [[Elite Four]] can be challenged, and the third leads from a {{m|Defog|foggy}} area of Victory Road to {{rt|224}}, which is said to be a miniature version of Sinnoh. North from Route 224, through a special event, of course, leads the [[Seabreak Path]] to {{p|Shaymin}}'s domain, the [[Flower Paradise]].

===Climate===
The Sinnoh region holds a vast arrange of climates. Unlike [[Hoenn]], which is located in the south where the climate is warmer, Sinnoh is located on the northern boundaries of the world where the temperature is cooler. It is so cold in the northern part of the region, it snows constantly. At one point in Sinnoh, it is actually possible to travel on a [[Route 217|route covered in snow]]. Cities such as [[Snowpoint City]] have been completely covered in snow, while Pokémon who live around the area have adapted to their new climate change. However recently, the region has become cooler on the southern side as climate change take part on the region. Areas such as [[Twinleaf Town]] and {{rt|201}} have now been a subject to snow.

Another new weather condition introduced was the fog condition, which can be found on {{rt|210}} however can be cleared easily. The fog is like a thick blanket that makes obstacles and Trainers difficult to see.

===Routes===
Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from {{rtn|201}} to {{rtn|230}}. Compared to previous generations, there aren't many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. The idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]] was also brought ahead from [[Generation III]]. For the first time ever in a Pokémon game, some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them.

Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably {{rt|212}} and {{rt|210}}, which both have two limbs of equal length. While Hoenn's {{rt|114}} did this on the [[Game Boy Advance]], it was not to this scale, so one may presume that the GBA was limited in this sense.

==League==
{{main|Sinnoh League}}

The Sinnoh League is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the Sinnoh region. The [[Elite Four]] and the [[Champion]] are located at the {{si|Pokémon League}}.

==Trivia==
* Sinnoh's [[Gym Leader]]s each use a type that has previously been seen in another region's Gym. Four of them were first seen in [[Kanto]]; in fact, they are the same types as the first four Gyms of Kanto: {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Grass}}. Similarly, the other four were first seen in [[Johto]], and are the same as the fourth through seventh Gyms of that region: {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Ice}}.
* If one were to draw lines to connect the three lakes of Sinnoh, they form a big triangle with [[Mt. Coronet]] at the center. This is the same formation that {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} make on the top of [[Spear Pillar]] with {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in the middle. This formation is also repeated in many places having to do with [[Sinnoh myths]].
* Sinnoh is the only region of the main series games that has more than five letters in its name.
* Unlike [[Hoenn]], which is considered to be tropical, or the relatively temperate [[Kanto]]-[[Johto]] landmass, Sinnoh is shown to be farther north and much colder. This is shown by the cold weather around [[Snowpoint City]] and the routes leading to it, and the fact that {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Pearl}} all wear scarves, and in {{v2|Platinum}}, much heavier jackets and clothes and scarves than have been seen by other {{player}} characters.
* In game, Sinnoh is the largest region yet, disregarding the visitable area in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} of [[Kanto]] and the [[Sevii Islands]].
* Sinnoh is also the only area traveled through where all the Gym Leaders that have been featured have appeared in an episode before Ash battled them.
* If a Pokémon hatches in an area exclusive to Platinum, then subsequently traded to Diamond and Pearl, its met location will display as "[[Faraway place]]" , despite the fact that these areas (with the exception of the Distortion World and the Battle Frontier) are all within the Sinnoh region.
*Sinnoh has introduced the largest amount of [[legendary Pokémon]], introducing 14.
*Interestingly, Sinnoh has an [[List of locations by index number (DS)|index number location]] programmed into [[Generation IV]] for it, despite the fact that all Sinnoh locations are programmed into the games already. This index location is at #2006, while coincidentally, Sinnoh's first games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, were released in Japan in that year. This does not happen for the other three regions programmed in (i.e. Kanto is 2003, not 1996, Johto is 2004, not 1999, and Hoenn is 2005, not 2002). This data is unused during normal gameplay (i.e. without hacking); Pokémon from Sinnoh traded to a game taking place in Johto display their normal "met at" area, much like Pokémon from Kanto do when traded to Emerald.
*Sinnoh is the only region so far which does not have any [[Pokémon Gym]]s on outlying islands, with all of them being on the main continent.
*Sinnoh is the only region so far to have all [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] in a city.
*Sinnoh, unlike the other three main regions, does not have a boat on which the player can battle other Trainers.

Jewel of Life

2009-11-22T15:54:37Z

Legendhunter32:

[[Image:Jewel of Life.png|thumb|right|150px|Jewel of Life]]
'''Jewel of Life''' (Japanese: '''命の宝玉''' ''Jewel of Life'') is an artifact appearing in ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

In ancient times, {{an|Arceus}} was protected by [[Damos]] after suffering critical injuries by protecting the world from a meteor's impact. In gratitude, Arceus gave Damos the Jewel of Life to make the desolate land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Arceus stated that the Jewel of Life never breaks due to the fact that it is made within its body plates.

It is created from five of the sixteen life-forces within Arceus's body: {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Electric}}ity and {{t|Dragon}}.

== Trivia ==
*The Jewel of Life being formed from the life-forces within Arceus's body is a reference to the sixteen [[Plate]]s that change Arceus's [[Elemental type|type]] in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} through use of its {{a|Multitype}} [[ability]]. According to the movie, it is composed of the {{DL|Plate|Splash Plate|Splash}}, {{DL|Plate|Meadow Plate|Meadow}}, {{DL|Plate|Earth Plate|Earth}}, {{DL|Plate|Zap Plate|Zap}}, and {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}s. Interestingly, Arceus was able to transform into the Dragon and Grass Types during its battle with Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, despite the fact that the Draco and Meadow Plates, respectively, were no longer in its possession.
*The Jewel of Life looks similar to a green [[Soul Dew]]. Interestingly, they both are made from a living being's life force.
*According to {{an|Arceus}} the Jewel of Life cannot be destroyed.

'''Roar of Time''' (Japanese: '''ときのほうこう''' ''Roar of Time'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Dialga}}.

==Effect==
Roar of Time inflicts damage and then forces the user to recharge during the next turn. Unless this attack misses, the user will always have to recharge.

===Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia===
In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Dialga is available in a Special Mission. At the beginning of the mission, it uses Roar of Time to send the player and [[Wendy (Ranger)|Wendy]] back in time to before the player moved to [[Chicole Village]]. If the player fails to capture Dialga within a hidden time limit, Dialga will send them back to the beginning of the mission.

'''Glitches''' are anomalies in software programs, including video games. They can cause various problems ranging from the purely graphical to completely wiping entire chunks of saved data.

They are usually caused by problems with a game's code, or from a player doing things the programmers did not anticipate, therefore causing the game to react unexpectedly. Below is a list of glitches in the Pokémon video games.

==Major glitches==
[[image:Glitch City Map1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A variation of [[Glitch City]]]]
[[image:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A {{p|Mew}} being found in the wild]]
There are three glitches (the first two are only available in the Red, Blue and Yellow versions; the third one is available in the Gold/Silver and Emerald versions, and the [[Hall of Fame]] one is very minor) that do not ''necessarily'' always create glitched Pokémon, but are themselves glitches that cause events that would not normally happen in the gameplay.

===Generation I===
* '''[[Glitch City]]:''' A glitch location consisting of mess of random map tiles that changes depending on the location where the player enters Glitch City. <ref>http://www.trsrockin.com/glitchcity.html</ref>
* '''[[Mew glitch]]:''' Allowing players to capture any Pokémon (most especially {{p|Mew}}) without modification, and allowing players to catch most of the glitched Pokémon. <ref>http://www.trsrockin.com/mewtrick.html</ref>
* '''[[Missingno.]]:''' A way to encounter Pokémon over level 100 and [[Glitch Pokémon]]. <ref>http://www.trsrockin.com/missingno4.html</ref>

===[[Generation I|Generations I]] - {{gen|IV}}===
* '''[[Pokémon cloning]]:''' Variations of the Pokémon cloning trick exist in each [[Generation]] of the Pokémon games, each slightly different from one another. The most reliable version is in [[Generation II]]. This Pokémon cloning version allows players in the Gold/Silver versions to safely clone Pokémon, assuming they have at least somewhat decent timing.<ref>http://www.cheatsnetwork.com/cheats/2705.html</ref>
* '''[[Sprite glitch]]:''' Glitches that mess up sprites have occurred in all generations (mostly by [[cheating]]).

===Generation IV===
* '''[[Surf glitch]]:''' allows players to warp to places on the map where {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} lie. '''Note:''' This only works in some of the first Japanese versions to be released.<ref>http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070528172817AAWWH8x</ref>
* '''[[Tweaking]]:''' This causes the game to fail to load the map and makes it appear black. Some cases have led the {{player}} to places such as [[Newmoon Island]] or [[Flower Paradise]] if the player goes the right way.

== Minor glitches ==
==={{game|Red and Blue|s}}===
* '''[[Rare Candy cheat]]''': An in-game glitch which is the result of encountering a [[Missingno.]] or [['M]], giving the player over 100 of the player's 6th item (this is also known as the "Old Man Glitch").
* '''Hall of Fame Glitch:''' When Missingno. has been seen on the save file, the player's Hall Of Fame is badly corrupted with entirely different Pokémon (players can even see Mew in the Hall Of Fame, whether they've seen Mew or not) and very glitched characters and names.
* '''Man on roof of [[Cinnabar Gym]]''': If one does not have the key to the Cinnabar Gym, and {{m|surf}}s on the east coast and returns to land directly in front of the gym, a man will appear on the roof of the gym. A similar effect happens if the player walks into the [[Vermilion City]] Gym, walks directly left and then up so that they are facing the bottom-left trash can and press A to inspect it, or if the player is in the gatehouse to Cycling Road. One of the trainers in the gym will be misplaced and return to his usual spot once the text box disappears, and when in the gatehouse there may be a man standing on an object somewhere behind the guard.
* '''Prevented progress''': If one evolves their starter Pokémon before they obtain their [[Pokédex]] from Prof. Oak, the game will assume that, since they have 2 Pokémon registered as caught, that they already have a Pokédex, and will not allow them to proceed. This glitch is only present in the Japanese {{v|Red and Green|s}}.
* '''Invisible PC''': There is a hotel in [[Celadon City]] that resembles a [[Pokémon Center]] on the inside. In the top-right space of the area that the player can walk on, there is an invisible, usable PC.
* '''Fishing in Statues''': The player can use a [[Fishing|Fishing Rod]] when facing the right or left of a gym statue. It will always say "Looks like there's nothing in here...", except in [[Misty|Misty's]] [[Cerulean Gym|gym]], where all the [[Pokémon]] obtainable in the gym can be caught.
*'''[[Q Glitch]]''': A glitch enabled by the Pokémon [[Q]] (and [[Charizard 'M]]) which allows Pokémon stored in the PC to swap moves and stats.
*'''[[ZZAZZ glitch]]''': A bizarre side effect of the [[Mew glitch]] using a Pokémon with a special stat of 251, 252, 254 or 255. When this is done, a [[Glitch Trainer|Glitch trainer]] will appear. In the Red and Blue versions, after battling the Glitch trainer, numerous abnormalities will occur, including the player's name being turned into "ZZAZZ" and 3 of the player's Pokémon being turned into {{p|Bulbasaur}}, which oftentimes have learned one or more instances of the move {{m|Explosion}}. It has been known to erase a player's saved game. The abnormalities which occur in the Red/Blue version are not the same as those which occur in the Yellow version.
* '''[[Cut glitch]]''': If the player cuts down a tree, stands on the spot, saves, turns the game off, then loads it, the player will be standing on a tree.
* ''' Quick Level 100 Pokémon: ''' This glitch is similar to the [[Mew glitch]], but can be done in the [[Viridian Forest]]. First the player must go to the 2nd to last trainer and be out of his view (and must also not be able to see him). Walk one space and come into his view. Press start and use an escape rope to go to the [[Pewter City]] Pokémon Center. A, B, Start, and Select will not work. Now go try to go out of Pewter City towards [[Mt. Moon]]. The guy will stop the player and show he/she Brock's Gym. Now the player must go to the small patch of grass south of Pewter City and North of Viridian Forest. Encounter a Pokémon and use {{m|Growl}} on it equal the the number of levels it is higher than 1 (Example: a level 4 {{p|Pidgey}} would have to have growl used on it 3 times). Now walk into the forest (a message like 'Do you have a Pikachu?' may appear). The player will immediately go into a Pokémon battle with a level 1 Pokémon. When the player weakens the Pokémon, he/she must catch it. Now use it in a Pokémon Battle and if it gets less than 55 experience points it will go straight to level 100. Note: The player can obtain different level 1 Pokémon by facing different Pokémon to the patch of grass south of Pewter City and North of Viridian Forest, although only some will be able to grow to level 100.
* '''Stuck in Wall''': If the player lures an NPC into the grass above [[Pallet Town]], she will block the player from following [[Professor Oak]] correctly, causing the player to become stuck in the wall of Oak's laboratory.
* '''[[0 ERROR]]''': Another glitch similar to the [[Mew glitch]] that causes [[Route 6]] to become glitched.

====Error codes (R/B/Y)====
[[File:Glithy4.png|thumb|right|A 0 Error in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]]]]
[[File:59 Error.png|thumb|right|A 59 Error in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]]]]
In Pokémon Red and Blue, there are several error codes that appear when the game is not functioning correctly. Problems such as these often crop up when the game's memory access is corrupted or when experimenting with glitches such as the [[Mew glitch]]. Usually, when an error code appears, the game does not freeze and the player is allowed to continue playing the game without [[Soft resetting|resetting]]. There are thirteen known error codes in Pokémon Red and Blue:

{| {{bluetable2}} style="margin: auto;"
|-
! #

|}

==={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}===

* '''[[Glitch dimension]]:''' Turns everything into strange, random colors and slows the ability to see the party screen and changes the "Poké" in PokéGear to random symbols. It is usually activated by first using the [[Coin Case]] and then speaking to the {{p|Machop}} at [[Vermilion City]].
* '''Dratini glitch''': After the player speaks to the {{p|Dratini}} in [[Blackthorn City]] and uses the Coin Case, the Coin Case's display will change what the coin case says from "Coins: ..." to "Which move?he pp of" permanently unless the game is turned off without saving.
*'''[[Celebi Egg Trick]]''': Allows players to hatch as many {{p|Celebi}} as one desires using a number of steps.
* '''Shiny Ditto Exploit''': By trading any [[shiny Pokémon]] to a Generation I game, having a wild Ditto transform into that Pokémon, then catching and trading the Ditto into a Generation II game, the Ditto will be shiny.
* '''[[Cut glitch]]''': If the {{player}} cuts down a tree, stands on the spot, saves, turns off the power, and loads the game, the player will be standing on top of a tree.

====Error codes (G/S/C)====
{{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} feature a more detailed method of handling errors compared to Red, Blue and Yellow, although error messages are very uncommon in-game without the use of a [[cheating]] device.

{| {{bluetable2}} style="margin: auto;"
|-
! Name
! Description
! Cause
|-
| 'Object Event'
| Text/Window error
| This text appears when the player attempts to talk to a character who is supposed to start a cutscene e.g. Lance in the Hall of Fame room through the use of a location code. [http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/MithosYggdrasil/MissingNO/ObjectEvent.jpg]

|-
| 'BG Event'
| Text/Window/Sprite error
| It is currently unknown when this may appear. A possible error when attempting to force an event which changes the background to display text (May appear with a particular code to change a location's information?) [http://www.freewebs.com/tohjofalls/crysdump.txt]
|}

===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===
* '''[[Infinite continues glitch]]''': A glitch allowing the player to get infinite continues in any [[Stadium Cup]].

==={{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}===
* '''Hill glitch''': East of [[Mauville City]] there is an [[Aroma Lady]] that will battle the {{player}}. If the player stands right behind the hill in her line of sight, she will see the player and walk onto the hill and stay there until the player leaves the area. This does not happen in Emerald due to her being a part of a double battle in the same area.
* '''[[Berry glitch]]''': Freezes the growth of any berries which have been planted but not harvested, often occurs after the game has been owned for a year or played for over 100 hours, though not always.
* '''{{m|Thunderbolt}} glitch''': The moves {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Thunder}}, when used in some Ruby and Sapphire cartridges, may cause the game to [[Game freeze|freeze]] or cause a sound effect to linger until the game is turned off.
* '''[[Pomeg glitch]]''' ({{V|Emerald}} only): A glitch involves negative HP.

===[[Pokémon Colosseum]]===
*'''[[Colosseum Master Ball glitch]]''': Also known as the Infinite Ball Glitch; it is a glitch which involves switching the position of any [[Poké Ball]] on the same turn that it is selected to be used, so that the quantity does not decrease.

==={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}===
*'''Honey shop glitch''': This is caused by the {{player}} using {{m|Sweet Scent}} or [[honey]] in a shop. When the player talks to the shopkeeper and selects "buy", he or she will see that there are no names or descriptions for any of the items in stock.
*'''Egg Nature Glitch''': A well timed switch between boxes will allow the player to see the [[nature]]/[[ability]]/type of the Pokémon inside an egg.

==={{game|Platinum}}===
*'''[[Acid rain]]''': {{m|Rain Dance|Rain}}, {{m|Sunny Day|strong sunlight}}, {{m|hail}} and a {{m|sandstorm}} all occur on the battlefield when a Pokémon switching is knocked out with {{m|Pursuit}} during Hail or Sandstorm.
*'''Graphical Glitches''': In areas such as the [[Great Marsh]] or the [[Ribbon Syndicate]], standing in certain places may cause the foilage or the walls to bend and merge into other graphics near them. This is most likely because {{game|Platinum}} runs on a 3D game engine.
*'''Black Belt Gibberish''': For unknown reasons, a certain [[Black Belt]] in Sinnoh's Victory Road may speak glitchy gibberish upon defeat. This may or may not be intentional.
*'''[[Pal Park#Manipulation|Pal Park Glitch]]''': Allows the player to migrate any number of Pokémon via the [[Pal Park]], this is used to overcome the 6 Pokémon per 24 hours limit.
*'''[[GTS Glitch 1]]''': In some copies of Platinum, the [[level]]s of a Pokémon might not be displayed on the GTS. In order to fix this, the {{player}} must contact [[Nintendo]].
*'''[[GTS Glitch 2]]''': In a [[Generation IV]] game, if the player deposits any Pokémon on the GTS that can evolve through trade (holding any necessary items), and then either waits for over 24 hours before taking it back, or trades for another Pokémon before taking the first back, it will evolve after being received.

==Glitch Pokémon==
{{main|Glitch Pokémon}}
A glitch [[Pokémon]] is a Pokémon that exists in a game due to a programming or level design oversight or for beta testing, and as it was not intentionally placed inside the game by [[Nintendo]] or [[Game Freak]], it might be hazardous to saved data. They were originally supposed to be place-holders for unused Hex-addresses in the game. Glitch Pokémon sometimes may damage player's save file.

==Glitch characteristics==
===Glitch attacks===
A glitch attack, or glitch [[move]], is much like a regular attack except the results are often undesirable. Like with glitch Pokémon, glitch attacks were not programmed into the game on purpose and many have been proven to cause damage to game cartridges. The only widely known ones are those for Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow. Glitch attacks are sometimes displayed as TM attacks ('''TM01'''-'''TM55''' and '''HM01''' to '''HM05'''), but some have no name or a glitched, unreadable name. Some attacks are of known glitch types (see list below), but most have either no type or an unknown type, and are often referred to collectively as "{{m|Super Glitch}}" (see [[List of glitch moves]]).

There are ways to teach glitch attacks to certain Pokémon without usage of a cheat-code device such as [[GameShark]], however, most of the time only glitch Pokémon will learn glitch attacks.

One way of teaching a Pokémon in [[Generation I]] a glitch move is trading to a [[Generation II]] game a Pokémon that will evolve by trading at a level when it will learn an attack in the next generation game, and then trading it back to the Generation I game. For example, trading a level 50 {{p|Haunter}} from {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}} to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} will make the Haunter evolve into {{p|Gengar}}. Since it is level 50, it will learn {{m|Destiny Bond}}. If it is then traded back to Pokémon Red, it will still have the move, but the game won't recognize it properly since it is a Generation II move.

===Glitch types===
{{main|List of glitch types}}
There are many different glitch types that are found to be the types of several glitch Pokémon. The majority of them are used for very few Pokémon; typically only one or two glitch Pokémon per type.

===Glitch areas===
Aside from Glitch City in [[Generation I]], there are several other areas which can only be reached by way of a glitch in the games. Examples of this are areas in the [[Sevii Islands]] that are retrievable via their [[index number]] pointer, however, do not have any other data. [[Sevii Isle 8]] and [[Sevii Isle 9]] are the only index number areas which have actual map data.

===Glitch items===
In the [[Generation II]] games, it is possible to get an item called the [[Teru-sama]], the only description of which is a lone question mark. [[Generation III]] likewise has a mystery item. Both of these seem to have been placeholders just in case more slots for items were ever needed, something that came true with the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Clear Bell}} in {{v2|Crystal}} and the various newer items introduced just in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, LeafGreen|s}} and {{v2|Emerald}}, which register as the Teru-sama and mystery item if they are somehow moved into {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} or [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]]. There is also the Seal Bag, a glitch item obtained from the [[Generation IV]] [[Global Trade Station|GTS]] glitch.

The Teru-sama is a glitch item, but can be transformed into the [[GS Ball]] if it is given to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to capture {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]]. This works in the Japanese, English and European versions of {{game|Crystal}}.

===Glitch trainers===
[[Glitch Trainer|Glitch trainers]] have been known to occur in the Red/Blue/Yellow versions. They are usually found if the player's name contains mostly special characters. There are also several special stat numbers used in the [[Mew glitch]] which cause glitch trainers to appear. Glitch trainers frequently use [[Glitch Pokémon]] in battle.

==Notes==
* Missingno.'s special stats for the Mew trick vary (see [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html]).
* The Yellow version [[Missingno.]] is different from the Red/Blue Missingno., but both share the same name. For the Yellow version Missingno., using a Pokémon in Method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]] with a special stat of 31, 32, 61, 62 , 63, 67, 68, or 69 would make it appear([http://trsrockin.com/hexlist.html]). Missingno will revert to level 0 if leveled up to over level 255 with Rare Candies or to level 100 if it fights in battle and wins.
* The Pokémon [['M]], [[3TrainerPoké]], [['M|Charizard 'M]] and [[Q]] are the only known catchable glitch Pokémon that cannot be ''directly'' caught using the Mew glitch. Other glitches can be obtained by messing with the game link cable during a trade. [['M]] and [[3TrainerPoké]] cannot be caught using the [[Mew glitch]] because the special stat required for method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]] is 0, a number which no Pokémon has. [[Charizard 'M]] and [[Q]] cannot because [[Q]] can only be found by evolving a [[44Hy]], and [[Charizard 'M]] can only be found by trading a [[Q]]. The special stat numbers which would cause Charizard 'M or Q to appear in a [[Mew glitch]]-type battle freeze the game.
* The glitch known as "[[.4]]" can freeze or crash the game if it uses a certain glitch move. If the game is saved while this move is in .4's moveset, the data may be corrupted, making it impossible to continue and forcing the player to start a new game.
* The 24 catchable glitch Pokémon, plus the original 151 Pokémon, brings the total number of catchable Pokémon in the Red/Blue/Yellow versions to 175.
* The characteristics of one Glitch Pokémon usually do not apply to its Red/Blue or Yellow equivalent. For example, [[LM4]] will evolve into {{p|Clefairy}} and then immediately into {{p|Nidoking}}, whereas its Yellow version equivalent, [[7g]], has no evolutions.

Partner Pokémon

2009-11-20T13:15:39Z

Legendhunter32: /* Additional partners */

'''Partner Pokémon''' are [[Pokémon]] who are allowed to always accompany a {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} and do not leave after using a [[Poké Assist]] like other Pokémon. So far there are 19 partner Pokémon, spread between the two Pokémon Ranger games, {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

=={{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}==
There are only 2 partner Pokémon in this game, they are {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. The one which the {{player}} gets depends on their chosen [[gender]], with males receiving Minun and females receiving Plusle.

|}

=={{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}==
The number of possible partner [[Pokémon]] was greatly increased, now up to 17, one for each [[elemental type]]. The {{player}} encounters their first at {{DL|Vientown|Nabiki Beach}}, either {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Starly}} or {{p|Munchlax}}. The two not chosen are obtainable later on in the game. Also, throughout the game, the player can obtain different partner Pokémon by completing certain quests involving the Pokémon. However, Kricketot, Croagunk and Mime Jr. are obtained during the main storyline.

Game mascot

A '''version mascot''' is a Pokémon that appears on the boxart — and often label — of one of the [[Pokémon games]] in the main series.

Early on, the first two version mascots in a generation shared more of a relation with each other than with the third; however, in the Hoenn and Sinnoh trilogies, all three had a significant relationship between them.

[[Image:Project Pokédex logo.png|right|200px]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon species'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible. It will also encompass any Pokémon Trading Card Game information, any relevant Anime information, and any other canon information which is relevant.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the hierarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
 Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.''' 
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
::'''<nowiki>====Special abilities====</nowiki>'''
::A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet. Use <nowiki>{{main|Pokémon food}}</nowiki> for this part.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
 First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
 This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Special, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
 For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
 All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
 All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFG}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
 Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself. 
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route. Different methods of capturing, such as in the wild versus fishing, have a break between them.
::'''<nowiki>====In side games====</nowiki>'''
::Details on the location in non-standard games like Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokémon Ranger. Please have the games in a bulleted list with details. For the Stadium games, assume regular rental Pokémon are common knowledge; do not add it to the list unless it has more information about its appearance, such as prizes, special Pokémon, ones in minigames, or if the moveset information for rentals within the individual Cups is provided as well.
:'''<nowiki>===Base statistics===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's base statistics, presented in a bar graph form. 
:''Note: This section may be undergoing changes soon, due to complaints about the bar graph format.'' 
:'''<nowiki>===Type effectiveness===</nowiki>'''
:How well types affect the Pokémon, based on its own type and base stats. Currently, all articles should follow the DP Type Effectiveness format.
:'''<nowiki>===Learnset===</nowiki>'''
:Moves the Pokémon can learn. ''Sections should not be added if the Pokémon learns no moves in such a manner. In particular, this applies to the Special moves subsection - do not add this section to an article if there are currently no moves the Pokémon can learn through a special method.''
::'''<nowiki>====By leveling up====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By TM/HM====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By breeding====</nowiki>'''
::Table format. For each, please list all potential fathers which the Pokémon can inherit the move from. Do not, however, clutter the article with descriptions of how the fathers can learn the move. Instead, link to the father's article - details on how the father can learn the move should be listed on that article.
::'''<nowiki>====By tutoring====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====Special moves====</nowiki>'''
::Any techniques which a Pokémon can learn in a special way, like Pikachu's Surf or a move learned after purification in Pokémon XD.
:'''<nowiki>===Side game data===</nowiki>'''
:Table format. Note any factors that differ between species as well as any equivalent to Pokédex entries that the game may have.
:'''<nowiki>===Evolution===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's detailed evolution chain, shown as different sprites in boxes.
:'''<nowiki>===Sprites===</nowiki>'''
:Sprites of the Pokémon from all [[main series]] games, using the {{template|Sprite}} template.

'''Other information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>'''
 Any facts which do not fit well into any other section. This includes beta names and relations to any glitch Pokémon, such as if a glitch uses pieces of its sprite or will evolve into it. Leave out the section if there is no trivia. 
:'''<nowiki>===Origin===</nowiki>'''
:Plants, animals, myths, and anything else which may have served as inspiration for the Pokémon's design.
::'''<nowiki>====Name origin====</nowiki>'''
::Possible base words and inspirations for the Pokémon's name in English and Japanese.
'''<nowiki>==In other languages==</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's name in languages besides English and Japanese. Possible base words and inspirations for these names may also be added.
'''<nowiki>==Related articles==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of any relevant articles, such as specific characters of the Pokémon in the anime or manga. TCG and TFG link lists should remain in their own sections and not be included in this subsection. 
'''<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag. 
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section. 

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

=====Abbreviated=====
This format is for quick reference, when checking to see if an article matches the model. Headers which are in bold are required for all articles. Other headers should only be added when applicable.

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
 |- style="background: #COLOR;"
 ! Heading
 ! Heading
 |-
 | Content
 | Content
 |}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|DP]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolution|Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Pokémon breeding|Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area.

* {{Template|Dex}}

{{Dex
|type=grass
|redbluedex=A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon.

If an entry is unknown, delete the tag for it (that's the stuff between the | and the =, as well as the | and =). This will put the page into a category so that someone who knows what the entry is can put it in.

* {{template|Sprite}}
{{Sprite|

To make the above appear, copy and paste what follows in the article:
<pre>
{{Sprite
|type=
|gen=
|gender=
|ndex=
|name=
|}}
</pre>
Type should be the Pokémon's primary type (or Flying if the Pokémon is {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}}). Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493). If the Pokémon have a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

Legendhunter32: /* Participants */

[[Image:Project Pokédex logo.png|right|200px]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon species'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible. It will also encompass any Pokémon Trading Card Game information, any relevant Anime information, and any other canon information which is relevant.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the hierarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
 Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.''' 
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
::'''<nowiki>====Special abilities====</nowiki>'''
::A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet. Use <nowiki>{{main|Pokémon food}}</nowiki> for this part.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
 First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
 This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Special, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
 For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
 All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
 All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFG}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
 Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself. 
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route. Different methods of capturing, such as in the wild versus fishing, have a break between them.
::'''<nowiki>====In side games====</nowiki>'''
::Details on the location in non-standard games like Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokémon Ranger. Please have the games in a bulleted list with details. For the Stadium games, assume regular rental Pokémon are common knowledge; do not add it to the list unless it has more information about its appearance, such as prizes, special Pokémon, ones in minigames, or if the moveset information for rentals within the individual Cups is provided as well.
:'''<nowiki>===Base statistics===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's base statistics, presented in a bar graph form. 
:''Note: This section may be undergoing changes soon, due to complaints about the bar graph format.'' 
:'''<nowiki>===Type effectiveness===</nowiki>'''
:How well types affect the Pokémon, based on its own type and base stats. Currently, all articles should follow the DP Type Effectiveness format.
:'''<nowiki>===Learnset===</nowiki>'''
:Moves the Pokémon can learn. ''Sections should not be added if the Pokémon learns no moves in such a manner. In particular, this applies to the Special moves subsection - do not add this section to an article if there are currently no moves the Pokémon can learn through a special method.''
::'''<nowiki>====By leveling up====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By TM/HM====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By breeding====</nowiki>'''
::Table format. For each, please list all potential fathers which the Pokémon can inherit the move from. Do not, however, clutter the article with descriptions of how the fathers can learn the move. Instead, link to the father's article - details on how the father can learn the move should be listed on that article.
::'''<nowiki>====By tutoring====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====Special moves====</nowiki>'''
::Any techniques which a Pokémon can learn in a special way, like Pikachu's Surf or a move learned after purification in Pokémon XD.
:'''<nowiki>===Side game data===</nowiki>'''
:Table format. Note any factors that differ between species as well as any equivalent to Pokédex entries that the game may have.
:'''<nowiki>===Evolution===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's detailed evolution chain, shown as different sprites in boxes.
:'''<nowiki>===Sprites===</nowiki>'''
:Sprites of the Pokémon from all [[main series]] games, using the {{template|Sprite}} template.

'''Other information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>'''
 Any facts which do not fit well into any other section. This includes beta names and relations to any glitch Pokémon, such as if a glitch uses pieces of its sprite or will evolve into it. Leave out the section if there is no trivia. 
:'''<nowiki>===Origin===</nowiki>'''
:Plants, animals, myths, and anything else which may have served as inspiration for the Pokémon's design.
::'''<nowiki>====Name origin====</nowiki>'''
::Possible base words and inspirations for the Pokémon's name in English and Japanese.
'''<nowiki>==In other languages==</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's name in languages besides English and Japanese. Possible base words and inspirations for these names may also be added.
'''<nowiki>==Related articles==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of any relevant articles, such as specific characters of the Pokémon in the anime or manga. TCG and TFG link lists should remain in their own sections and not be included in this subsection. 
'''<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag. 
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section. 

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
 |- style="background: #COLOR;"
 ! Heading
 ! Heading
 |-
 | Content
 | Content
 |}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|DP]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolution|Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Pokémon breeding|Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area.

{{Dex

To make the above appear, copy and paste what follows in the article:
<pre>
{{Sprite
|type=

</pre>
Type should be the Pokémon's primary type (or Flying if the Pokémon is {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}}). Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493). If the Pokémon have a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

Bulbapedia:Project Shipping

2009-11-07T00:00:12Z

Legendhunter32: /* Participants */

{{Project leader|{{u|ArcToraphim}}}}
[[Image:Project Shipping logo.png|right|200px]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Shipping'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/To-do list]].

==Project Shipping==
===Scope and aims===
Project Shipping covers all articles about Shipping. When developing new pages or adding to old ones, adhere to this: [[Bulbapedia:Shipping]] for guidance on content.

===Participation===
'''PLEASE READ''': "All" is a misnomer; it is impossible to actively construct articles for all the known Ships. Bulbapedia is also an encyclopedia, and encyclopedias are professional tools. All information is relevant if it relates directly to the medium it spawns from, and is FACT. It is fact Ash is oblivious to the many crushes he's gotten; it is not fact he might currently reciprocate on any of them.

Shipping articles do offer bias, as Shipping itself is as bias as it is factual. It's fact Shipping is a major part of the fandom; it's not fact everyone agrees with everything that will be represented as evidence. Therefore, if you are going to participate in cleaning up the articles or creating them, please be aware of what is acceptable within the article. You might insert information another does not believe belongs, even though it fits possible "evidence"; unlike the main space, information here is not judged the same, only because everything on the main space is generally ironclad and there is no room for fanon, weak evidence, or lazy information. In that frame of mind, even bias information is subject to disbelief, and can be deleted if the evidence is not sustainable.

tl;dr - Crap is still crap. You can grasp at straws, but you're better off not, for the sake of an article's integrity. Know your information, and if you have to, explain it coherently (just not over-glossed and embellished).

===Page Creation===
If you want to create an article that is not listed on the [[Bulbapedia:Project Shipping/To-do list|to-do list]], it would be wise to ''ask'' the current project leader if it's actually okay, with ''a valid argument for it''. There are over 6,000 Ships in the Pokémon fandom alone; not all of them deserve articles on the merit of existence alone.

AUGUST 21, 2009: There will be '''no more''' pages for nevermets without prior consultation with the Project Leader. Any future articles will need to have a founding basis for the article, and will be given a week-long trial on its worth. Meaning, unless it's an article on a somewhat canon interrelation, such as ChikoShipping, AdvanceShipping, or CollideShipping, it will be rightly judged if it's worth notability. So before publishing the page, please construct it to an adequate size. If there is little to be said for the couple past popularity and straw-clutching (IkariShipping), then chances are it's not worth it. However, we will be the judge of that, if it's worth its weight or not.

===Structure===
====Title====
All articles should be known as 'Shipping:{name}Shipping' and a page, '{name}Shipping' should be created with only the template <nowiki>{{Shipping redirect}}</nowiki>. There is no need to put <nowiki>{{Shipping redirect|PAGENAME}}</nowiki> because the template has that covered.

Also, at the start of each article in the Shipping namespace you should add a [[Template:Ship|<nowiki>{{ship}}</nowiki>]] template so as to warn people.

If the article is a stub, use the template mentioned below.

====Evidence Content====
The manual of style for all Shipping pages are going to follow a set structure, henceforth. All Shipping pages are, from here on in, either going to go through a major overhaul, or will be using this style from the get-go. Style should be:

<nowiki>
* ''[[DP001|TITLE]]''
: Hint that such-and-such may overgrossly perhaps CARE for the cretin.
* ''[[DP038|TITLE]]''
: Hint that such-and-such may want to have the cretin's children.
: Oh wait, new paragraph if the above one hint carries on for too long! Possibly still talking about them having children!
* ''[[DP099|TITLE]]''
: Hint that such-and-such may like a second honeymoon with the cretin. Oh look, another hint that shouldn't begin a new paragraph because both are only a sentence long.</nowiki>

However best this information is cataloged is at your own discretion (in individual person's sections, or if their interactions are heavily interlaced, go simply for one list that contains them both), but please remain concise and neat.

It is recognized, however, not all articles will allow for adequate usage of the above template to get maximum evidence integration, and if that is the case, please utilize a style that will properly capture the evidence (but ''only'' as an alternative). Examples include [[AkebiShipping]], [[FireShipping]], and [[HoennShipping]].

====Categorize====
All articles are to be properly categorized according to character involvement and in this order of descending, applicable labels:
<nowiki>
[[Shipping|PAGENAME]]
[[Anime|PAGENAME]]
[[Game (whichever one they come from OR if they are a cross-gen 'ship)|PAGENAME]]
[[Manga|PAGENAME]]
[[OLDER male character]]
[[YOUNGER male character]]
[[OLDER female character]]
[[YOUNGER female character]]
[[Gym Leaders]]
[[Orange Crew]]
[[E4 members]]
[[Frontier Brain]]
[[Team Rocket/Magma/Aqua/Galactic]] (in that order)
[[Movie character]]
[[CoTD]]
[[Pokémon]]</nowiki>

*If you cannot tell who is older when dealing with homosexual Ships, then likely no one else can and it doesn't matter the order.
*No individual Pokémon is to have their own category, not even {{AP|Pikachu}}.
*If the character is not important (a movie character of any level, a COTD), they should not have their own category. If you think they should, ask the project leader first and state why you think they should have a category.
*The conditions for a '''recurring''', secondary character to have their own category is to have at least '''three''' Shipping articles they are involved in.
:*"Recurring" in this case means they have showed up on two separate occasions (not how many episodes they've appeared in), are confirmed battle rivals, or briefly joined the group, a la Barry and Todd. Brief cameos do not count.
*If a character falls under any the categories between the ''Gym Leaders'' and ''Pokémon'' ones in the above list, they do not get their own category without a convincing argument or enough Ships to require one (six or more).
*If one character is from the game and another is from the anime, we'll cross that bridge later (though you shouldn't be crossing canons so blatantly and expect a legit article). If they can cover two mediums legitimately, please list them in corresponding order.
*If Brock or Misty are involved and the other involved isn't one, it is ''not'' necessary to add the ''Gym Leader'' category. If Jessie or James are involved, it is ''not'' necessary to add the ''Team Rocket'' category (Meowth and Giovanni do, as they do not—and will not—have their own categories), unless the other character involved is a Rocket member. Treat Wallace as a ''Gym Leader'', not an ''Elite Four'' member.
*If the media (the side-game, the specific manga) the characters are from don't even have '''twelve''' articles under them, they do not warrant character categories at all.

====Further Notes====
''Nevermetshippings'' should be labeled accordingly, such as [[OysterShipping]], [[RubyShipping]], [[OutcryShipping]], et cetra. Until they do meet, there will be no "hints", but "similarity" sections are allowed, as are reasons why people Ship them in the first place. However, please do not add bias information; no nevermet Ship has risen to the popularity of the others, so they do not rival ''anything'' within the fandom's top tier.

Nonrecurring Ships, such as [[LuckShipping]], [[DanceShipping]], [[AbilityShipping]], [[FireShipping]], where the person does not, or has not, thusly returned after the heroes move on (regardless how many episodes that character was around for), should be analyzed to the nth degree (but not written be-all-end-all). Please use [[GaiaShipping]] as an example of how to handle those sorts of circumstances.

Please also do not assume that a standard for one carries over as a standard for another. This concerns the "Alternate name" business. If you've seen it with your own eyes, you may document it, UNLESS it's another Ship name that isn't on the list (the only current exception to this is "FarawayShipping" to OutcryShipping).

===Goals===
# Write comprehensive and upstanding articles on Ships.
##This means they are to be substantial, well written (even if they are short articles), and with substance.
# Ensure that all hints/evidence/facts are in the originating media and not from fanfiction. All fanon information is to be eliminated.
