Lofiguy: Explained canon, in regards to various works of fiction

{{search|official information in the Pokémon franchise|the move that is called "Canon" in several languages|Round (move)|Round}}
'''Canon''' refers to all official and undeniable information within a general series. Originally a religious term used to refer to which Biblical books were included in the official Bible, the term has expanded to include all works of fiction, such as books in a series, or movies and video games in a franchise.

In the Pokémon franchise there are several canons, usually sharing elements and concepts among them, most notably the existence of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Aside from this and the interrelation of the various species of Pokémon (such as by evolution), these worlds can vary from one another in canon and storyline either very little or very greatly.

The {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} itself is a canon where Pokémon exist. However, in some TCG-based video games and manga, only Pokémon trading cards exist instead of actual Pokémon.

Canon is different from [[fanon]] in that, while fanon things may be mutually agreed upon by most, and possibly all, fans, they are never officially stated.

==List of canons==
===Games===
The canon of the [[core series]] consists of the following:
* Events occurring in the [[core series]] games are the ultimate canon.
* Choices made by or for [[player character]]s, such as the hero's gender and [[first partner Pokémon]], are generally not fixed within the canon. For example, when {{ga|Red}} appears in games in which he is not the player character, he uses all three of the fully evolved Kanto first partner Pokémon as well as {{p|Pikachu}}.
* Different versions of a game all occur in parallel universes. For example, both {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} are canon, but occur in different universes from one another.
* Some content from [[side series]] titles, such as [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], may be considered canon to the core series unless it conflicts with events in the core series games.
* Content from {{Spin-off games|spin-offs}}, such as the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], is generally non-canon, outside of being canon to itself.
** Titles such as [[Pokémon GO]] and [[Pokémon Masters EX]] may provide canonical information and material, however the events are otherwise considered non-canon.
* Canonical material may also be found in related media, like animated trailers, game manuals, or merchandise.
** Game-related animation and web series, such as [[Pokémon Evolutions]] or [[Pokémon: Hisuian Snow]] may hold canonical information, but may otherwise be considered non-canon.

===Anime===
The canon of the [[Pokémon anime]] consists of the following:
*The events of each and every episode are canon, and occur in chronological order with the following exceptions:
** [[EP052]] takes place before [[EP049]].
** The special episodes ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' (which were originally postponed after [[EP038]] caused seizures in some viewers) take place either directly before or after [[EP039]].
** [[XY024]] originally aired after [[XY050]] due to a long delay. The episode, to avoid confusion, states it takes place in the past.
** [[JN001]] takes place before [[EP001]], barring the final portion of the episode.
** The finals of the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] between {{Ash}} and {{an|Leon}} ([[JN129]]-[[JN132]]) takes place concurrently with [[Project Mew]]'s search for {{an|Mew}} on [[Faraway Island]] ([[JN133]] and [[JN134]]).
** Three unaired episodes ([[AG101 (unaired)|one]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and [[BW023 (unaired)|two]] [[BW024 (unaired)|in]] ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'') are not canon.
*All of the movies up to ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' are canon to the TV series (although only one of the two versions of [[M14|the fourteenth movie]] is canon). They are typically the equivalent of [[filler episode]]s, as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not obtain, [[Evolution|evolve]], or {{pkmn2|released|release}} any Pokémon, and do not earn any [[Badge]]s or [[Ribbon]]s. Often, a movie takes place chronologically between the episodes between which it premieres in Japan.
**''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' establishes a separate canon that is continued by ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'', and ''[[JNS05|Distant Blue Sky!]]''.
*The Japanese version of the anime supersedes any and all [[dub]]s if there is conflict between them, unless the dub corrects an obvious error. If something is said in a dub that is not mentioned in the original, it may or may not be canon.
*Some of the [[Pikachu short]]s, as well as three special episodes and two animated shorts based on [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] spin-off games, are not part of main anime's canon.
* Game-related animation such as [[Pokémon Origins]], [[Pokémon Generations]], [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]], and [[Pokémon Evolutions]], as well as the [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer|Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire]], and [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]]s, are not part of the main anime's canon but are instead their own canons.

===Manga===
The canon of the various [[Pokémon manga]] consists of the following:
*Each manga series is a separate canon, except in the case of sequels, such as [[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]], which follows from [[Magical Pokémon Journey]].
*[[Pokémon Adventures]] arcs and chapters follow chronologically from one another, rather than having the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}} and {{MangaArc|Emerald}}s occur contemporaneously to the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}} and {{MangaArc|Yellow}}s as the storylines of the games they are based on do. The same applies to {{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}} and {{MangaArc|Platinum}}s which do not occur simultaneously with the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. The exceptions to this rule are the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} and {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}s, both of which occur between ''Emerald'' and ''Diamond & Pearl''. Although the chapters of an arc follow chronologically from one another there are few exceptions to this. For example, ''[[PS152|Buzz Off, Butterfree!]]'' (chapter 152) takes place simultaneously with ''[[PS117|Slugging It Out With Slugma]]'' (chapter 117).
**[[Pokémon Ranger the Comic: Double Mission]] and by extension, [[Pokémon Ranger: The Comic – Shadows of Almia]], although not strictly related, are canon within Pokémon Adventures, as evidenced by ''[[PS441|The Final Dimensional Duel XI]]''.

==Differences between canons==
Characters that are well known in the Pokémon franchise can have vast differences between the various canons. For example, in the games, [[Brock]] is a well-known Gym Leader, the toughest Trainer in the area of Pewter City, and remains as the leader of its Gym between the time of {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}'s journey and {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}}'s. In the anime, however, while {{an|Brock|he}} is a tough Trainer, his true calling is as a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} (and later on, a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}}), and he took the mantle of Pewter Gym Leader only because both of his parents left on their own Pokémon journeys, leaving him in the care of the Gym and their [[Brock's siblings|rather large family]]. Differences can go much further than that, with [[Sabrina]] being a kind shrine maiden in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a misguided young woman due to the development of her powers in the anime, and an outright villainous [[Team Rocket]] member in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

Flying Time Trial

{{incomplete|2=Additional gameplay details}}
[[File:Flying Time Trial.png|300px|thumb|Flying Time Trial]]
The '''Flying Time Trial''' (Japanese: '''そらとぶタイムアタック''' ''Soratobu Time Attack'') is a minigame introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]] for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. The {{player}} controls {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} with infinite flight through an aerial course across parts of the [[Terarium]] at [[Blueberry Academy]]. The Flying Time Trial can be initiated from [[Canyon Plaza]].

The player first experiences the Flying Time Trial as part of [[Amarys]]'s Elite Trial. It can be repeated after completing it for the first time.

==Overview==
The Flying Time Trial is a test designed by Amarys for challengers of the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}}. She provides a supplement to the participating {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon, which enhances their flight capabilities in order to properly maneuver through the course.

==Gameplay==
The player guides {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} with controllable flight mechanics. The goal is to reach the endpoint before the timer runs out. Floating rings of {{p|Magnemite}} are found throughout the course, guiding the player in the right direction and adding three seconds to the player's timer if they fly through them.

After defeating Amarys, the player can freely participate in the Flying Time Trial again by talking to the plaza receptionist. The course is offered in four difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Super-hard, with the latter difficulty only available to unlock after completing the main story of [[The Indigo Disk]]. Each course establishes a set path the player must follow, with the length and complexity of the course increasing with difficulty. These courses can be completed to obtain [[Blueberry Point|BP]]. Starting with Normal difficulty, {{p|Magneton}} rings appear alongside Magnemite rings, which add five seconds to the timer if passed through.

== Source for the kyerum ==

There's has been a leaker which has been correct so far during the air of "Aim to Be a Pokémon Master", wasn't sure how they'll show it so I put it as invisible until it's confirmed in the episode.(Here's the link: https://twitter.com/GryphonCool/status/1619602917815889925) ([[User:QuickJolteon|QuickJolteon]] ([[User talk:QuickJolteon|talk]]) 18:35, 29 January 2023 (UTC))
:It's an unofficial source, so it'd probably be for the best to not add it at all until the episode has aired. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

==Anime Reference==

Hello! Hope you're doing well. Regarding my latest edits, I wanted to clarify my point of view on the subject. I think the reference about the anime is clear in Pokémon Yellow (a game heavily inspired by the events of the anime), but unlikely in HG&SS, for as those games have had many other Pokémon added in that area (not just Pidgeotto and Pidgey). Hence, I am not sure if that would be a true reference in the remakes. [[User:Gust4vo|Gust4vo]] ([[User talk:Gust4vo|talk]]) 21:26, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
:I understand. Thanks for the explanation. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:12, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

== Ash's Pidgeot ==

Was it explicitly stated that Pidgeot returned to Ash's ownership? Keep in mind that Ash has reunited with all of his released Pokémon at some point, but only two of them ever returned to his team, even if only for a brief amount of time (Goodra and Naganadel). [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 10:44, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
:Yes, Ash explicitly asked Pidgeot if it wanted to come with him, and it agreed. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:47, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

== Trivia ==
before the series began i put that Liko's Sprigatito was first grass type starter to be own by a female main character and it got removed but someone else does it and its fine but when I put something similar it get removed twice. both litten and Sprigatito are called the cat pokemon of their type, wouldn't that be notable? do i have to word it differently?{{unsigned|CuteSylveon42}}
:I removed it because second cases are not as notable as the first, and "cat starter Pokémon" sounds a bit too specific. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:18, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

== Punching Glove ==

Why did [[Special:Diff/3683162|you add]] that [[Punching Glove]] does not stack with Iron Fist (in March)? Game mechanics researchers [https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/scarlet-violet-battle-mechanics-research.3709545/page-13#post-9409193 found that it did] back in November. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 02:31, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

== EP099 ==

I really need to talk about this because it was something that was bothering me.

I have noticed you have been undoing my edits recently for EP099, and I feel the reasons you gave are insufficient and make no sense.

The first one in question is the Australian release unedited. My reason for editing the page is because I felt like the original sounded like the Australian versions were edited like the later Japanese releases. You undid my edit, saying it was mentioned above. I feel like the reasoning given was too vague, and no where does it say the Australian releases were unedited. It wasn't cut, yes, but it never said anything about it being edited.

And the most recent change I made a few days ago is regarding Lorelei's name being changed to Prima. My reasoning for rewording that part is because there was never a source about that, only speculation. I added that 4Kids may not realize that Lorelei already had an English name. But you also undid my edit, suggesting it was only speculation. This didn't make any sense to me because the syllable excuse is just as speculative. I am also questioning why it's wrong to mention anything speculative, but mentioning 4Kids changing her name because of lip flaps as fact without a source is okay?

I know SnorlaxMonster edited the page to match what I was trying to convey (with the same reasoning) and I am perfectly happy with the state of the page now, but I still wasn't happy that you undid my edits as if my reasoning was illegitimate. I didn't want to undo any of your edits, which is why I wanted to talk to you about it as it has bothered me for a while.[[User:JyuRaposa|JyuRaposa]] ([[User talk:JyuRaposa|talk]]) 07:34, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

== EP225 ==
Hello! I noticed that you undid my revision for EP225 of the Trivia I added. Are you able to recall a time that a Pokémon does an anime move error that is stated to be an error by someone in-universe? I forgot to mention that it also occurs in the ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' special but on the other hand, the Pokémon that does said error are clearly artificial Pokémon.

:In addition to that special, there is also a SM episode where a Pokémon's inability to learn a certain move is acknowledged. I figured three exceptions to the rule didn't count as trivia worthy. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:55, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:: Which Pokémon and move was this again? The only two incidents in the SM anime I can think of is acknowledging Rowlet not being able to use Bullet Seed (which it doesn't use) and Nebby using Supersonic (I'm not sure if anyone mentions that Nebby cannot use Supersonic). I personally believe that Mirage Pokémon special can be not counted considering that the Pokémon in question were artificial and were designed to exactly use those moves.

:::I was referring to Rowlet. And the special still counts, as it acknowledges a Pokémon's inability to learn a certain move, regardless of the Pokémon being artificial or not. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:01, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::: I wouldn't really count the Rowlet one considering that it wasn't like he really used the move but for the Mirage Pokémon special, I'll quickly ask some of the moderators to see what they think. On another note, would it be better to reword the Trivia for AG170? I can see where you are coming from but at the same time, I think AG170 was really the only time Ash's Tauros was part of his active party for anything that isn't battling or tournaments. I count the Orange League as a Championship battle but I do agree that it isn't a tournament and could have been worded better.

== Recent undoing ==
Hi Finnish! I noticed you've been quite active with editing some of my recent edits which I appreciate a lot and you're doing a good job! However, I've noticed you have been undoing some very minor edits of mine recently which are mostly just removing the overuse of "then". Are you able to tell me why you are undoing some of my more minor edits? Also, do NOT undo the TCG edits I am doing as I talked to MaverickNate about their structure and I need to fix those ones myself due to an error I made. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''<span style="color:#3e7614">Bulbapedia</span> and <span style="color:#5c5c5c">Archives</span> <span style="color:#deab79">Junior Administrator</span>''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 13:43, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:I've simply felt that the sentence structure is better in those cases when the word "then" is used. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=JN137&diff=prev&oldid=3759447 here] the removal of the word implies that the chamber was already filled with cold air, when it was only filled with cold air afterwards. I can try to replaces those "thens" with other words, though, if you want. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:52, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:: That would be quite good if possible! I'm mostly removing "then" in some cases as some pages had as much as 39 instances of "then" being used a lot. The most notable pet peeve is when sentences start with something like "Ash then" or sentences go "Pikachu then uses Thunderbolt only for Raichu to then dodge before then using Iron Tail". I have noticed that your undos haven't been too constructive and that your editing is a lot better when you attempt to reword it yourself, so I would definitely recommend trying to reword things as you have been doing quite well so far today. There are obvious exceptions to when you shouldn't undo but based on your editing, I definitely encourage you to use other words!

:::Believe me, I've left many of your edits alone because removing the excessive use of that word is something I wholeheartedly support. It's just that sometimes, I feel the tense of the sentence suffers from the removal of the word. I'll try to work around it. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:02, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

By the time I'm done, hopefully the page is looking a lot better! I definitely feel that you're making a lot better progress when you edit it yourself rather than undo pages, so I wholeheartedly encourage you to try and reword things from here onwards and only use the undo button as a last resort.

So far, your edits have been going fine so far but I definitely encourage you to edit out the mistakes rather than undoing as sometimes, it also reverts edits that were correct.

:::::::::"Correct" is subjective, and I feel we don't always see eye to eye which "thens" are okay to stay and which aren't.

When I meant correct, I was talking about using the undo button rather than editing a mistake manually. An example would be if someone made two edits being "Pikachu is Yellow" and "Raichu is Blue". The undo button would definitely be an issue as it removes the edit that is correct (Pikachu is Yellow) in the process of removing the wrong edit (Raichu is Blue). As for my edits, I'll be more careful in the future but feel free to message me if there is any frequent incorrect edits.

:I didn't undo the edit because it was done by you. I removed it because on [[HZ001]]'s trivia section, it's mentioned that Nidothing and Quaxly narrate episode previews from this point on. Sure, there was an exception, where more people joined in, but the trivia can be changed to say "in most episodes from this episode onward". In short, I feel it's repetitive to say Nidothing narrates the preview in every episode when the preview narrator is much more consistent than it was with Journeys. Similarly, we do not list Ash as the preview narrator when he did it with every episode up to a certain point. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 11:16, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

The '''land of Kitakami''' (Japanese: '''キタカミの里''' ''Kitakami countryside''), known simply as '''Kitakami''', is a location featured in [[The Teal Mask]] expansion for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. It is functionally similar to that of a [[region]] from other games, but it is unknown whether or not Kitakami is its own region, a part of a larger region, or its own thing altogether, although the travel patterns of the [[Glitterati]] indicate that it is part of [[Paldea]].

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
Kitakami may be named after areas named "{{wp|Kitakami}}" (北上) in the {{wp|Tōhoku region}} of northern Japan, which includes {{wp|Kitakami Mountains}} (北上山地), Kitakami River Basin (北上盆地), {{wp|Kitakami River}} (北上川), and {{wp|Kitakami, Iwate|Kitakami City}} (北上市). The name "Kitakami" is formed from the characters 北 ''kita'' (north) and 上 ''kami'' (up).

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kitakami|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kitakami}}
Kitakami may be inspired by the {{wp|Iwate Prefecture|Iwate}}, {{wp|Akita Prefecture|Akita}}, and {{wp|Aomori Prefecture|Aomori}} in the {{wp|Tōhoku region}}, particularly the {{wp|Towada-Hachimantai National Park}} and neighboring areas on the borders of the three prefectures. The aforementioned region is particularly well known for its rural atmosphere as well as its mountains and rice paddles.

==In the games==
A great mountain towers over the land of Kitakami, and the people live at its base. It is a place of tranquil natural expanses, featuring rice paddies and apple orchards.<ref name=NewAdv>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_part_1_2/ ''Your New Adventures Will Take Place in the Land of Kitakami and Blueberry Academy''. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official website.</ref> The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}} were revered as a trio of heroes (the "[[Loyal Three]]") by the people of the village for having allegedly protected the land of Kitakami in the past.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_pokemon/ ''Introducing the Legendary Pokémon You’ll Meet in This DLC''. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official website.</ref>

The {{player}} is taken to Kitakami on a school trip to join an outdoors study opportunity held jointly between the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} and [[Blueberry Academy]].<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_intro/ ''DLC Is Coming: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet''. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official website.</ref> The trip coincides with a seasonal festival that is regularly held in the village in Kitakami, during which the village is bustling with various street vendors and stalls.<ref name=NewAdv/> During the trip, the player meets Blueberry students [[Kieran]] and his older sister [[Carmine]], who both grew up in Kitakami.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_characters/ ''Characters Featured in This DLC''. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official website.</ref>

==Geography==
Kitakami is a landlocked region that is mostly mountainous, as a large mountain comprises most of the region, though some rivers are present at the top of the mountain and around it on the east side, some even leading outside of the region. There is a town at the base of the mountain, being the only town in Kitakami.

Kitakami is described as being far away from Paldea, where the main player is originally from, to the degree of a plane being required to travel there.

===Demographics===
Most of the people there are naturally born citizens there, like Ogerpon's mask-maker, though rarely do they see tourists. Apart from farming, a significant amount of income comes from tourism. Most of the residents of Kitakami do not appreciate this (with both Trainers and main characters referring to those not from Kitakami as "outsiders"). Though following the events of [[The Teal Mask]], many warm up to them.

===Notable locations===
Some notable locations around Kitakami include:

* [[Kitakami Road]], a large road leading to Mossui Town.
* [[Mossui Town]], the only place with a permanent population.
** {{DL|Mossui Town|Community Center}}, a place where people gather around to chat.
** {{DL|Mossui Town|Peachy's}}, a shop which sells items and knitted clothing.
** [[Carmine]] and [[Kieran]]'s house, where the two siblings live along with their [[Carmine's grandfather|grandparents]].
* [[Apple Hills]], a large apple orchard.

* [[Kitakami Hall]], where Ogerpon's masks were stored, as well as where the citizen have their [[Festival of Masks]].
* [[Mossfell Confluence]], a place where a large lake is located at.
* [[Fellhorn Gorge]], a large gorge probably formed by the Oni Mountain's lost horn.
* [[Loyalty Plaza]], the small park which houses the [[Loyal Three]] Monument.
* [[Infernal Pass]], the area surrounding Oni Mountain.
* [[Oni Mountain]], the large oni head-shaped mountain in the center of the land.
** [[Dreaded Den]], the small cave in which Ogerpon is said to live in.
** [[Oni's Maw]], the cave inside Oni Mountain's maw.

** [[Crystal Pool]], a faintly glowing lake which contains large crystals that emit energy of the same wavelength as Terastal energy .
* [[Wistful Fields]], a large field.
* [[Paradise Barrens]], a wasteland.
* [[Kitakami Wilds]], a section of wilderness with two lakes connected by rivers.
** [[Timeless Woods]], a mysterious forest, home to rare Pokémon, including one known as {{p|Ursaluna|the Bloodmoon Beast}}.
* Three signboards that tell a false version of the tale of Ogerpon and the Loyal Three; the first in Loyalty Plaza, the second in Kitakami Hall and the third, at the base of Oni Mountain.

*Flying to another location in Kitakami shows a different [[Flying Taxi]] on the loading screen, featuring {{p|Noctowl}} rather than Paldea's {{p|Squawkabilly}}.

===Origin===
[[File:Pikachu Ogerpon Nebuta WCS23.jpeg|thumb|300px|To promote [[The Teal Mask]], {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Ogerpon}} appeared at the 2023 {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri}} as a float. The festival is the largest in the {{wp|Tohoku region}}. The choice to showcase the Nebuta at the [[2023 World Championships]] in Yokohama leans to the idea of the real life region of {{wp|Tohoku region}} of Japan bearing a close resemblance to Kitakami.]]


* The culture of Kitakami resembles Japanese culture with the main characters of the story wearing clothing known as a {{wp|Jinbei|jinbei (甚平)}}. The architecture of the houses as seen in Kitakami also resemble typical Japanese houses.
* Food stalls (or {{wp|Yatai (food cart)|Yatai (屋台)}}) can be seen around the shrine, of Shinto style. The path is flanked by stone lanterns similar to {{wp|Stone lantern|Ishidoro (石灯籠)}} in Japanese culture. Paper lanterns called {{wp|Traditional lighting equipment of Japan#Chōchin|Chōchin (提灯)}} can also be seen.
* The main characters of the story also participate in the Festival of Masks in Kitakami Hall, similar to {{wp|Japanese festivals|matsuri (祭り)}} in Japan with its ties to spirtual animals, spirits, and/or deities according to ancient folklore. In the case of Kitakami, the summer festival celebrates "The Loyal Three" ({{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}) the Pokémon that protected Kitakami from the "Ogre" ({{p|Ogerpon}}). This story is similar to the Japanese folk tale of {{wp|Momotarō|Momotarō (桃太郎)}}, where a boy born from a peach who grows up to vanquish some ogres.
*The name of the {{wp|Iwate Prefecture}} in the {{wp|Tohoku Region}} means Rock (Iwa) Hand (Te). This comes a story where a deity names Mitsuishi (Three Rocks) vanquished an ogre called Rasetsu, who left an imprint of its hand on a large boulder on Mt. Nansho.<ref>[https://www.pref.iwate.jp/kyouikubunka/kokusai/1006971/1006978/1006979.html Origin of the name “Iwate”]</ref> This bears resemblance to the Loyal Three vanquishing {{p|Ogerpon}}.
*The culture of one of the largest festivals in the Tohoku region, {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri}}, is very similar to the themes explored in [[The Teal Mask]] (i.e. ogres appearing in many floats, which are typically depicted by humans by wearing a mask, reminiscent of [[Ogerpon]]). Alongside these cultural similarities, a real life nebuta float of {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Ogerpon}} appeared at the 2023 Aomori Nebuta festival.
* {{p|Ogerpon}} wears a mask, which could be a reference to {{wp|Devil's Sword Dance|Onikenbai (鬼剣舞)}} (lit. Ogre's Sword Dance), a traditional mask-wearing folk performance from the real-world {{wp|Kitakami, Iwate}}. This city is also home to a large traditional mask museum called Oni no Yakata (lit. Ogre's Museum).<ref>[https://japantravel.navitime.com/en/area/jp/spot/02301-14400444/ Oni no Yakata]</ref>
* {{p|Ogerpon}} could be inspired by {{wp|Menreiki|Menreiki (面霊気)}} which is a “mask essence” (or a {{wp| Yokai|Yokai (妖怪)}} born from a collection of masks). In the {{wp|Tohoku region}} of Japan, it is considered a form of {{wp|Tsukumogami|Tsukumogami (付喪神)}}.
* The Loyal Three are revered through small statues wearing red bibs, similar to that of {{wp|Kṣitigarbha#Japanese traditions|Ojizo-sama (お地蔵さま)}} or {{wp|Kitsune|Kitsune (きつね)}} found across Japan. The colour red is believed to ward off evil spirits in Japanese culture.<ref>[https://traditionalkyoto.com/culture/figures/inari-foxes/ Inari Foxes]</ref>
*{{p|Okidogi}} may be inspired by the large Japanese dog, {{wp|Akita (dog)|Akita}}. The Akita dog also originates from {{wp|Akita Prefecture}} in the Tohoku region of Japan, where Kitakami may be inspired from.
*{{p|Munkidori}} may be inspired by the {{wp|Japanese macaque}} which originate from {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}} of the {{wp|Tohoku region}}.
*{{p|Fezandipiti}} may be inspired by the Japanese Green Pheasant, {{wp|Green pheasant|Kiji}}. The Kiji is also Iwate Prefecture's symbolic bird<ref>[https://www.pref.iwate.jp/kids/1002230.html Iwate Prefecture Symbols]</ref>. Fezandipiti's Japanese name is "Kichikigisu", which contains the word "kigisu". Kigisu is an archaic reading for pheasant.
*{{p|Dipplin}}, the evolution of {{p|Applin}} also features in Kitakami. Sweet apples are often served during summer festivals in Japan. With {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}} being the largest producer of apples in Japan, it is well known for its apples around the world. As such, it is possible that Aomori's apples were the inspiration behind Dipplin. The trailer of the Teal Mask also heavily showcases an apple orchard, apple consumption, and a photoshoot with an apple cutout board.
*{{p|Poltchageist}} is inspired from {{wp|Tsukumogami|Tsukumogami (付喪神)}} which is a spirit (or {{wp| Yokai|Yokai (妖怪)}}) that is born from every-day inanimate objects, which is typical concept in Japanese Shinto belief.
*Only found in Kitakami, Bloodmoon {{p|Ursaluna}}’s Pokédex entry states that “It crossed the sea and drifted ashore in a new land.” At the start of the quest, [[Perrin]] states that the Bloodmoon Ursaluna is native to her homeland, [[Sinnoh]], when it was still called [[Hisui]]. If Sinnoh is an analog to Hokkaido, its nearest landmass is the Tohoku region of Japan. Furthermore, Ursaluna may be based on the Ussuri brown bear, a subspecies of the brown bear native to Hokkaido and its surrounding areas.
** Another Hisuian Pokémon, White-Striped {{p|Basculin}}, is also found in Kitakami.
*Kitakami features a large mountain which can be scaled. This could be inspired by {{wp|Mount Iwaki|Mt. Iwaki}}, which means "God's Home" (カムィイワキ) in the local Ainu language. Mt. Iwaki is also known as the "Northern Fuji" due to its similar apperance. The reference to a deity and the north is similar to Kitakami, which means "northern god".
