Karamanero could be based off of the {{wp|Kraken}}. [[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] ([[User talk:Dialgafan1|talk]]) 15:22, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

::I agree, although, I believe that, especially based on its dark primary typing, it also may be based on the Humboldt squid in particular, also known as the Diablo rojo, which translates to "red devil".--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 20:36, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking it might be based on (the idea of) a vampire squid. It doesn't look like an actual vampire squid, but it does sort of look like a squid that was also a vampire [[User:Vienna Waltz|Vienna Waltz]] ([[User talk:Vienna Waltz|talk]]) 12:42, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar's Dark/Psychic typing and hypnotic powers remind me of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illithid Illithids] or mindflayers from Dungeons & Dragons. They are squid-headed humanoids with often purple-blue skin; they have psionic powers and can control others to do their bidding. Illithids have a history of being adapted for Japanese video games; there is a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Mindflayer_(Final_Fantasy) Mindflayer enemy in Final Fantasy as well.] Of course, there's no telling what it's really based on besides just a squid. It'd be cool if we could get a designer interview discussing some of the origins of these designs like was done for some Pokémon in Generation V. [[User:Iamohjay|Iamohjay]] ([[User talk:Iamohjay|talk]]) 17:47, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar could also be a Giant Squid.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 22:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar is clearly based on the "Vampire Squid" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_squid] due to hynotic lights and its ability to turn itself inside out both key features to Malmar's design.(Malamar turning upside down instead of inside out) Also I want to note that Malamar's collar resembles an "Upturned Collar" similar to an actual vampire. The Vampire Squid's nickname is "vampire squid of Hell" hence the Dark type of Malamar. {{unsigned|ProtoTurtle}}

:I'm not really seeing a very strong resemblance to the vampire squid (and that's the translation of its scientific name, not its nickname). Vampire squid are crimson in color; Malamar has no crimson on it at all. Vampire squid have distinctive blue eyes; Malamar's eyes are yellow. Vampire squid have rounded mantles, lack two longer tentacles, their tentacles are connected by membrane that forms a netlike area around the mouth, and they generally really don't look like squid at all (in fact, they're not actually true squid, nor octopi, but the only living member of their own order); Malamar is shaped very much like most true squid species. Also, Malamar turns itself upside-down, not inside-out (although "inside-out" is a misnomer--the vampire squid merely turns its arm cloak over the rest of its body). So I think it's safe to say Malamar is not based on a vampire squid, just (real) squid in general (in fact, I'd agree more with the idea that it could be inspired by Humboldt squid, which are notoriously vicious hunters and could explain the Dark typing).

== Name Origin ==

I think the "mar" in it's name can be a reference to the word "Mar",that means "Sea" in Spanish and Portuguese. - ''[[User:Ishlishl|Ishlishl]]''

== -MAL ==

Clearly the MAL in Malamar can more easily be related to such words as Malignant, Maleficent, Malicious. So many words, it seems quite silly to just leave the bulbapedia entry at "a combination of mal and calamari". Pedestrian, no? At the very least specify that "mal" is indeed a prefix followed by something like "from the Latin Malus, meaning bad". I mean do we really need to link what Mal stands for when it can be easily described? Calamari, ok, not everyone may know what that is. However, I have yet to see another pokemon page link to a prefix...{{unsigned|Milotic1209}}

Its Korean name is 칼라마네로 ''Kallamanero''.
* Transliteration of its Japanese name.
* From 칼라마리 ''kallamari'', "calamari"
* 네로 ''nero'' could be from Nero, Roman Emperor
:: Seeing as its the same name in Japanese and Korean, and there's really no Korean word "네로", I greatly suspect it's supposed to be from Nero, Roman Emperor... akin to Empoleon/エンペルト being based on Napoleon Bonaparte. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 19:09, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

== Spanish ==

Hello. ''Malamar'' could be a ''Spanish reference'' for ''Mal'' (evil in Spanish), and ''Mar'' (sea in Spanish), and ''Mala mar'' is a expression that in English means ''rough seas''. Sorry by my bad English. Regards. --[[User:Gtasp|Gtasp]] ([[User talk:Gtasp|talk]]) 09:19, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Lucentas: /* Origin */

==Origin==
I think ''Tyrannosaurus'' would be more accurate origin for Chigorasu than ''Allosaurus''. Given that Chigorasu has short arms and a large head with strong jaws, it has more in common with ''Tyrannosaurus'' in terms of appearance than with ''Allosaurus''. ''Allosaurus'' didn't have much of a bite force like ''Tyrannosaurus'' did and the arm length between the two species is different. ''Allosaurus'' has longer arms as seen here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AMNH_Allosaurus.jpg and the arms are shorter on ''Tyrannosaurus''. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tyrannosaurus_Rex_Holotype.jpg --[[User:Poke'fan07|Poke'fan07]]
:It's safe to assume it's based on any theropod dinosaur from the family [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrannosauridae Tyrannosauridae] (Small hands with 2 fingers, big heads...), it could be Tarbosaurus, Albertosaurus, or most likely Tyrannosaurus. Perhaps it even shares some traits with [http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abelisauridae Abelisaurids] like Carnotaurus given it also has horns and very, very small hands (We'll have to wait until its evolution is finally revealed to confirm this). At this moment, it's most likely based on a Tyrannosaurus -- [[User:Jomarori|Jomarori]] ([[User talk:Jomarori|talk]]) 17:59, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
::Indeed, I meant ''Tyrannosaurus'' or any other member of the Tyrannosauridae. I do know quite a bit about dinosaurs. It does seem to share traits of ''Carnotaurus'' as you mentioned. --[[User:Poke'fan07|Poke'fan07]]

I think it's a Carnotaurus. Because of the obvious horns/spikes on its nose. T-rex do not have those. It's like the signature of Carnotaurus however. (But I wouldn't put it past them to make it evolve into a T-rex.) [[User:Icer|Icer]] ([[User talk:Icer|talk]]) 14:37, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
:But Carnotaurus didn't have a spike on its tail or a ruff around its neck (and also had four digits on the hand). I'm not seeing a very physiologically correct analogue to any specific large theropod species, if you want to get that specific (the proportions are all wrong for a juvenile, the toes are splayed too far, the upper jaw has fang-like protrusions while the lower jaw only has two teeth, etc.). This is informed speculation, at best, on my part, but it seems like the translation teams for the games (at least from Japanese into English) work closely with the Japanese team to ensure the international names of the Pokemon stay close to the creators' intentions. The fact that the Japanese, English, French, Spanish, and Italian names all reference the word "Tyrannosaurus" is pretty good evidence to me that that's the primary species Game Freak wanted to reference in Tyrunt's design. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] ([[User talk:Lucentas|talk]]) 15:21, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

== Physiology ==

"Tyrunt are dinosaurian Pokemon, closely resembling theropods like {{Wp|Tyrannosaurus}}. Their bodies are a stony grayish-brown color, with lighter gray on their bellies and lower jaw. The back comes to a peaked hump, and the tail is short and pointed. They have tiny forelimbs with only two, white, clawed digits, but their hind legs are robust and end in three white claws and a rear claw which is the same color as the rest of the body. The front part of each leg also features two, armor-like plates which are rectangular in shape. Spiky, white "fluff", similar to the primitive feathering on many dinosaurs, extends from the back of the neck. Their heads are proportionally large, with a ridged snout and powerful jaws. They have two fangs in the lower jaw, and the upper jaw features tooth-like projections on either side and a slightly-decurved hook at the end. Their large white eyes are semicircular with a black border along the lower curve. Orange, triangular horns extend from above each eye and point backwards. A similar projection juts out of the tail."

Frogs bark, bleat, scream, howl, growls, and squawk, or can be simply silent.

Hollywood is in Southern California, closer to Mexico--I live in the area and I've never seen a Pacific Tree Frog here in my life (too dry, probably).

Plus, the sound of a croaking frog has been onomatopoeized as geko/kero in Japanese since before the infusion of Hollywood media--I know I've seen it in a pre-20th-century haiku, for example. I don't doubt that the stereotypical, FX-library frog sound used in media is sampled from a Pacific Tree Frog, but Japan has native frogs too, and those frogs most likely make sounds that can be spelt as geko/kero.

==Real-World Basis==

Anyone else think Mont Saint-Michel [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Saint-Michel] when they saw this? The Tower of Mastery is a similar fortress-like edifice, and, from the screenshot, appears to also be a tidal island connected to the coast by a narrow causeway. Furthermore, the map of Kalos http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Kalos.png shows an island inset into the left "star point" that appears to be the Tower of Mastery, in a roughly equivalent location as Mont Saint-Michel, relative to mainland France. Considering the island's landmark iconic status, and the fact that "it totally reminds me of Mont Saint-Michel" is the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw that screenshot, I think its being used as the inspiration for the Tower of Mastery is highly probable.

Besides being a giant panda, Pangoro also seems to take a bit of visual inspiration from the typical delinquent stock character you see in a lot of anime and manga- the fur on its back makes it look like it's wearing an overly long coat, and the bamboo in its mouth kind of looks like a toothpick.

About it's french name :
I'd just like to point out that it isn't from "mono" and "pale" (which just means pale btw, not blade), but "mono" and "vorpale" (like the Vorpal sword).
[[User:Monorpale|Monorpale]] ([[User talk:Monorpale|talk]]) 00:07, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

I had a few ideas about the name origin as well. The "or" in "monorpale" means gold, so the name could be roughly translated to single gold blade perhaps. In its japanese name as well, "ki" could allude to "kin" which also means gold. -- [[User talk:Danjam|Danjam]] 00:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

No, I just said the french word "pale" means the same as the english word "pale" (as the opposite of dark), and not "blade" as is written on the article. Such a choice of word wouldn't make sense considering the more obvious possibility of the second word being "(V)orpale". If the "or" stood for "gold", then "mon or pale" would litterally mean "my pale gold", and would make no sense either. I'm standing with the "Mono" + "Vorpale" option, I'm only pointing it here because I lack permission to edit the actual article. [[User:Monorpale|Monorpale]] ([[User talk:Monorpale|talk]]) 01:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Honedge is the only Pokémon to have its French name revealed before its English name. Honedge might also be a pun on "one". [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 14:11, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

== Abilities ==

It can use the blue cloth attached to its hilt as nimbly as an arm. If you were to carelessly take this blade in hand, you may find that blue cloth wrapping around you...draining the energy from your body!

'''[[Type]]s''' play as large a part in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon TCG]] as they do in the [[Pokémon games|video games]]. Both [[Pokémon card|Pokémon]] and [[Energy card]]s can be one or more of these types. Similarly, a Pokémon can and probably will have a Weakness and Resistance to other types.

Unlike in the games, there are only 10 types.

Also, unlike the games, when a Pokémon [[move|attacks]], the type of damage it does is based on the Pokémon's ''own'' type and not the type of Energy the attack requires. For example, although {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Golduck|37}} uses {{TCG|Psychic}} energy to power both of its attacks, the attacks do double damage against a Pokémon weak to {{TCG|Water}} because Dark Golduck's TCG type is Water in this instance.

Because of the limited number of types, many of the 18 types found in the games have been combined into one of the TCG types. For example, {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Ground}}s in the games are instead combined into the {{TCG|Fighting}} in the TCG. However, in keeping with Pokémon tradition, the Weakness and Resistance of certain Pokémon are similar to their weaknesses in the games. For example, even though Glalie is a {{ct|Water}} in the TCG, it is weak to {{TCG|Metal}}, much like how in the [[main series]], Glalie, as an {{type|Ice}}, is weak to {{t|Steel}}.

Another difference between the games and the TCG is how damage is calculated according to Weakness and Resistance. Beginning with {{TCG|Base Set}}, if a Pokémon had a weakness to another Pokémon's type, that damage done was doubled, and if a Pokémon had a resistance to another Pokémon's type, that damage was reduced by 30 damage points. This system was set and did not vary between Pokémon, types and sets. However, beginning with the Diamond & Pearl set, the Weakness and Resistance system was change slightly to allow for variation for how damage was adjusted, such as a Weakness that added 30 damage instead of doubling it, or a Resistance reducing damage by 20 instead of 30.

Sometimes, special Pokémon, such as {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} and the like, will have more than one Weakness and/or Resistance. Likewise, other special Pokémon may have more than one type, a feature introduced in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion, with Pokémon that were part {{TCG|Darkness}} and part their normal type. Eventually, the EX Holon subseries would introduce {{TCG|δ Delta Species|Pokémon with another secondary type}}, this time {{TCG|Metal}}.

Despite this standard categorization, however, some Pokémon may be featured as a different type.

'''Wii''' (Japanese: '''ウィー''' ''Wii'') is [[Nintendo]]'s seventh-generation console, which serves as the company's competition for Sony's {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and Microsoft's {{wp|Xbox 360}}. Its handheld counterpart is the [[Nintendo DS]]. The [[Nintendo 3DS]] has the same graphical and CPU capabilities as it. Like its predecessor, the [[Nintendo GameCube]], the Wii is able to connect to software titles on the handheld of this generation, the [[Nintendo DS]]; has a Pokémon game that serves as a battle arena for the [[Generation IV]] Pokémon games—in this case, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; and also has a storage system: [[My Pokémon Ranch]]. It was succeeded by the [[Wii U]], which is backwards-compatible with all Wii games and controllers.

==Features==
===Wii Remote===
[[File:Wii Remote pink.png|thumb|left|200px|A pink Wii Remote]]
[[File:Wii Nunchuk black.png|thumb|left|200px|A black Nunchuk]]
The Wii's controller design is unconventional; instead of taking the dual-control-stick layout of the previous generation like its competitors, it is in a remote control form, with attachments available to work with compatible games, such as a control stick on a Nunchuk attachment, or the Classic Controller, which takes on a layout similar to other consoles' main controllers. The Wii Remote is wireless, and features such innovations as motion and tilt sensing, a first for game controllers. Its sensitivity can be enhanced with {{nw|Wii Motion-Plus}}, although currently it is not compatible with any [[Pokémon games]].

===Wii Menu===
[[File:Disc channel.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Wii Disc Channel]]
The console features a custom GUI made up of different - and expandable - channels, all of which, save the Disc Channel, can be moved around to any of the 47 spaces available on the main menu. New channels can be downloaded via the Wii Shop Channel, and include an Internet browser and games from older systems playable via Virtual Console. The channels can be put on an SD card, and with the introduction of Wii Menu 3.3, SD Card menus can be accessed straight from the main menu.

The Wii also has the ability to send messages to and from other devices, so long as the Wii sends out an initial address book confirmation message to the email address or cell phone number in question. When the recipient replies to the Wii's message, communication between the two devices will be active, and via WiiConnect24, others can leave messages for players of the console on its message board from anywhere in the world.

===Backward compatibility===
The Wii is backwards-compatible with all GameCube games, as well as with most of GameCube's accessories, such as the controllers, memory cards, GameCube-to-GBA cables, and microphone. It is not compatible with the {{wp|Rumble Pak}} or the [[Game Boy Player]].

==Technical specs==
* Compatibility with both 12cm Wii Game Discs and 8cm GameCube Game Discs
* 729 MHz "Broadway" IBM CPU
* 243 MHz "Hollywood" ATI GPU
* 88 MB total memory
* 512 MB internal flash memory, for game, channel, and data saving
* SD memory card bay for expansion of save space. Initially, the system supported SD cards up to 2 GB. After the Wii System 4.0 update, the system supports SDHC cards up to 32 GB; however, games released before the system update may not read SDHC cards.
* Two USB ports for expansion and/or networking capabilities

==Pokémon games==
===On game discs===
Most Wii games are released on the Wii's own 12cm discs. So far, there are four known games that feature Pokémon.

===Nintendo Channel===
The {{wp|Wii Menu#Nintendo Channel|Nintendo Channel}} is a free downloadable channel which contains various videos and demos of Nintendo games. Use of this channel requires the Internet. These videos are often commercials, trailers, and interviews relating to Nintendo products. All [[Pokémon games]] for [[Nintendo DS]] and Wii (excluding Virtual Console) that have had an English language release have been featured on the channel at some point.

Additionally, the channel has a feature called the DS Download Service, which allows players to download demos of games to a Nintendo DS system via DS Download Play. Demos for [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] can be downloaded. Explorers of Sky has three slightly different demos.

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is a cyan on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is simple, consisting of three rhombus-shaped feathers on its forehead. Its body is a sky blue, growing lighter on its chest and belly. Its most distinctive feature is its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|large wings}}, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and thin, similarly colored legs.

====Gender differences====
Articuno is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall.

===Behavior===
Articuno is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts are; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. It also flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. It is a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. It is impossible to tell if these are valid sightings, as doomed travelers would have no way of passing on their story of the sighting, or merely delusions of the dying. It is described as being spectacular in flight: with its long tail streaming behind it, and its wings shining like ice. It is said to cause snow to fall when it flies, and has the potential ability to create {{m|blizzard}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Articuno lives in cold, isolated locations, such as mountain peaks. Articuno are known to roost inside the [[Seafoam Islands]] of Kanto, [[Frosty Forest]] and [[Mt. Avalanche]] in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon world, and [[Mt. Sorbet]] in Oblivia. Articuno is an extremely rare Pokémon. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it roams around Sinnoh, showing that it can withstand warmer temperatures.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Noland Articuno.png|thumb|250px|right|Articuno in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno|Articuno (M02)}}====
Articuno first appeared in the second movie. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno}} and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====[[Noland's Articuno]]====
Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} uses an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}} against certain challengers, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', when he accepted {{Ash}}'s challenge and battled against him.

====Other====
Articuno made its anime debut in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. It appears to {{TRT}} early in the episode, and then to {{Ash}}, {{Todd}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] says that Articuno has a nest in all the high mountains and cold places in the world, and flies from nest to nest bringing cold weather with it.

===Minor appearances===
An Articuno appeared in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'' as part of {{TRT}}'s fantasy.

The [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] briefly wielded the power of a {{pkmn2|mirage}} Articuno in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

An Articuno made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Articuno MPJ.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Articuno in front of its Snowcone shop]]
Articuno appears in the eighth chapter of the Magical Pokémon Journey manga, ''[[PPP08|The Legendary Articuno!]]''. In ''The Legendary Articuno!'', there is an Articuno atop a mountain used by a ski resort. This Articuno is rumored to spirit away the lives of lost travelers, but in reality, it is a friendly Pokémon that runs a Snowcone shop. {{MPJ|Pikachu}}, {{MPJ|Clefairy}} and {{MPJ|Jigglypuff}} enter a Snowcone-eating contest at Articuno's shop, and Articuno also rescues an injured [[Hazel]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Articuno is shown to seal itself in a block of ice when it senses the presence of an enemy. It strongly dislikes confrontation. However, in [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3]], [[Team Rocket]] was able to temporary get hold of it, together with {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Zapdos}}. It was used by the then-Rocket Executive [[Koga]] to try to finish {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} and succeeded in freezing them, but that turned out to be a strategy to let the ninja master's guard down and attack him from behind when [[Blue's Charizard]] unfroze them. After his defeat, it is called upon by [[Sabrina]]'s {{p|Kadabra}} with Zapdos and merged to form [[Thu-Fi-Zer]], a combination that proved almost unstoppable until [[Saur]], the {{p|Ivysaur}} it knocked out of the wall, saved its Trainers with a web created using {{m|Vine Whip}} and evolved to {{p|Venusaur}} to deliver the final blow with [[Blue's Charizard|Charizard]] and [[Blasty]]. It at last regains its freedom after the defeat and splits from its fellow birds.

Much later, in the [[Gold, Silver, & Crystal chapter (Adventures)|GSC saga]], it reappears under {{adv|Green}}'s possession with its fellow birds and is lent to Red in the battle against [[Will]] and [[Karen]], who nearly overwhelmed the three with {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. Since it has not been seen since, it has either been kept in the box or released, its true status unknown.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Articuno debuted in ''[[PM012|Will You Risk Your Life To Play The Magic Game?!]]'' and was caught by {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} in the [[PM013|next chapter]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Blaine]] catches an Articuno with [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]]'s help.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
Falkner has an Articuno which debuted in ''[[GB03|The Legendary Pokémon Appears!]]''. It went up against {{GnB|Gold}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} after it came from another time.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Articuno (TCG)}}

==Merchandise==
Articuno was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, an Articuno is rising out of the right side with the number 144 on its chest.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that freezes any opponent that is caught in it for a few seconds.

====Trophy information====
''Clouds gather, the barometer plunges, and fresh snow falls from the frigid air when this [[legendary Pokémon]] takes wing. Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.''

==Trivia==
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. In a lapse of continuity, or possibly due to oversight by the designers, it is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as {{DL|Shamouti Island|Ice Island|Articuno's home}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.
* Articuno was the last [[Generation I]] Pokémon to be introduced in the anime, and the only one that did not appear in Season 1, if movies and banned episodes are included ({{p|Mew}} is the last if its appearances in movies are not counted).
* Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a OHKO move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].

===Origin===
This Pokémon's appearance is based on the {{wp|Simurgh}} , deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is that of a giant arctic bird. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. It is also anatomically very similar to the {{wp|White-throated Magpie-jay}}.

===Name origin===
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

'''Starmie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スターミー''' ''Starmie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Staryu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Starmie, like its pre-evolved form, resembles a sea star. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|main body}} is violet, but it retains the gold formation on its front. Starmie's red jewel core is larger than {{p|Staryu}}’s and has developed to resemble a cut precious stone. The major change that took place upon evolution to Starmie was the growing of a second star on its back. This second set of arms is semi-attached, being able to spin 360°.

====Gender differences====
Starmie is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Starmie's central core glows in seven different colors, but typically shows up as red. It can also emit electrical waves from the core that are powerful enough to reach the furthest parts of the universe. It spins the star on its back to propel itself through the water and sometimes to launch itself out of the water and fly through the air for short periods of time. It is through this behavior that Starmie uses attacks like {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Starmie still retains all of the abilities of Staryu including {{m|Recover|re-growing limbs}} and firing off energy attacks from its core.

===Behavior===
Much like Staryu, Starmie are nocturnal creatures and become active at nighttime. Despite this, captured Starmie have been known for surprising tenacity and enthusiasm during the daytime. It is unknown exactly why wild Starmie are mainly night dwellers, however, there has always been the conclusion that Starmie and Staryu are from an [[alien]] planet, implying that perhaps the night sky brings the species some sort of comfort in familiarity. This Pokémon has also been noted to “send electric waves into outer space”. These transmissions have also been referred to as “radio signals”. This is very possibly some type of communication between terrestrial Starmie and their alien relatives. The multi-color glowing of Starmie’s core is also believed to be a method of communication inside the species. Starmie’s core is most commonly seen as red in color, which may be a relaxed or dormant signal as according to the Starmie communication system. The core will go dark if Starmie is knocked unconscious, and will sometimes flicker, similarly to a light bulb.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Starmie are a rare sight in the wild, as they require a {{evostone|Water Stone}} to evolve from Staryu. Their nocturnal behavior also decreases the chances of one being sighted. If they are ever found in the wild, it is in the deepest parts of the ocean; wild Starmie typically share their habitat with many other Staryu. There have also been rare sightings in the waters of [[Unova]]'s [[Unova Route 13|Route 13]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Like most Pokémon, Starmie’s eating habits are unknown but it’s very probable it filter feeds considering the Pokémon’s lack of a mouth.

It, however, debuts later in its round ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'' defeating {{adv|Red}} in the [[Cerulean Gym]]. It also allows her to read and pass on a Pokémon's thoughts using an ancient language that is easily decoded.

Both [[Sird]] and [[Archie]] also have Starmie on their teams (many in the latter's case).

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Misty's Starmie}}
Like in the anime, Misty owns a Starmie in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It had a minor appearance in ''[[PK07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', where it was used to rehydrate [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] after he started crying over being separated from {{AP|Pikachu}}.

[[Rudy]]'s Starmie also appears in the manga adaptation. Like in the anime, Starmie battled [[Ash's Squirtle]], and gave the Tiny Turtle Pokémon trouble with its {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{main|Misty's Starmie}}
Misty sent out her Starmie for Satoshi's second Gym battle challenge. However, it could not battle as Satoshi had trouble dealing with water and the battle was officially called off.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Starmie (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Starmie floats to the closest opponent and barrages them with {{m|Swift}}. Each hit does 3% damage, and touching Starmie itself does 12% damage.

==Trivia==
* Starmie is tied with {{p|Floatzel}} for the fastest {{type|Water}} Pokémon, with a {{stat|Speed}} base stat of 115.
* Despite being a genderless Pokémon, Starmie and Staryu were still able to learn Egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. This was fixed in {{v2|Crystal}} where they could no longer breed with any Pokémon except {{p|Ditto}}.
** Also, they are able to learn {{m|Attract}} in [[Generation II]] only, along with {{p|Mew}}. Starmie is genderless, so it cannot learn Attract.
===Origin===
It appears to be a stylized {{wp|seastar}}, with a second set of arms on its back similar to a {{wp|crown of thorns starfish}}. Starmie also bears resemblance to the Mesopotamian goddess {{wp|Inanna#Iconography|Inanna's iconography|}}.

====Name origin====
Starmie is derived from ''star'' (referring to its shape) and ''mie'', which involves 珠 ''mi'' (''gem'' or ''jewel''), referring to its core. In English, ''Mie'' is considered a corruption of ''me'' (the personal pronoun), in opposition to the ''yu'' (you) in {{p|Staryu}}. This pun is not present in their Japanese names; while Starmie shares its name in both languages, Staryu's Japanese name is Hitodeman (roughly "starfish man").

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=water|type2=psychic

==In the anime==
[[File:Tucker anime.png|200px|thumb|left|Tucker in the anime]]
Tucker's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]''.

In the anime, Tucker is a big superstar. He likes to entertain others, and he has many fans. Automatically before the battle, he allows challengers to send in their Pokémon from other locations. Even though {{Ash}} was allowed to do this, he still used two Pokémon from his current party, {{AP|Corphish}} and {{AP|Swellow}}.

Tucker used his {{p|Arcanine}} and {{p|Swampert}} in a [[Double Battle]] against Ash. The battle took place in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Dome}} in front of a large audience. Tucker was defeated by Ash, although he held a strong start for a while with his Pokémon's teamwork and strategy.

In the [[Double Battle]], Swampert's main target was Corphish.

[[File:Tucker Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Tucker in the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
At the beginning of the Battle Frontier saga, Tucker was assaulted by {{adv|Emerald}} while riding to the Battle Frontier Opening Ceremony on his {{p|Salamence}}. Tucker was promptly tied up and thrown backstage during the opening ceremony, where he is found by the other Brains after Emerald bumps into them, thinking that [[Scott]] was a desk attendant. They untie him and he starts yelling at Emerald, on stage. Scott tells him to be quiet, and Tucker grows a flaming grudge against Emerald. Tucker bears witness to Emerald's victory over Noland, and immediately tries to make the boy come to his facility. However, the Battle Dome is actually Emerald's fifth challenge, and the only one he lost.

Unlike the games, Tucker actually takes part in the tournaments rather than just challenging a Trainer after winning a set number of tournaments. He also says that in accordance with tournament rules, the winner of the tournament, whether it be him, Emerald, or someone else, will receive the Symbol. However, he also adds that he won't lose, and is the only Brain to be able to defeat Emerald, if only because he switched out his entire party.

===In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga===
[[File:Tucker CBF.png|thumb|Tucker in the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga]]
Tucker makes an appearance in ''[[CBF4|Introducing the Frontier Brains!]]'' where he introduces himself and his two Pokémon (while admiring them) to Enta. He battles Enta in a Double Battle. He was able to defeat [[Enta's Vulpix]] but lost to his Feebas after it activated {{a|Swift Swim}} when Enta's Vulpix blew a hole in the roof with {{m|Flamethrower}} earlier. Tucker then tells Enta that his Feebas wouldn't have stood a chance against his Pokémon due to it being ugly. After the battle, Feebas evolves into Milotic, proving Tucker wrong.

==Trivia==
* Tucker's Swampert knows and used five moves in his battle versus {{Ash}}, while Pokémon are said to be able to learn only four moves at a time.
* Tucker is the only Frontier Brain whom Emerald didn't defeat to win a Symbol, aside from {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}, who simply awarded him her Ability Symbol for having battled with her fairly while she was under [[Guile Hideout|Guile's]] control. In turn, Tucker is also the only Brain who never lost a fight with Emerald to yield him a Symbol, since the 10 [[Pokédex holder]]s had their own tournament instead.

'''Pyramid King Brandon''' (Japanese: '''ピラミッドキングジンダイ''' ''Pyramid King Jindai'') is the [[Frontier Brain]] and chief of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}. He is the only character in the games to have the [[Trainer class]] '''Pyramid King''' (Japanese: '''ピラミッドキング''' ''Pyramid King'').

==In the games==
Any Trainer arriving at the top of the Battle Pyramid just after Brandon must battle against him for the status of the Pyramid's conqueror.

Brandon appreciates the grand life of the explorer. He recalls the passion, danger, and desperation of his death-defying and life-affirming adventures. When defeated in battle, he'll praise the grandeur of the match and hand over the Brave Symbol.

===Quotes===
====Initial battle====
*Before battle
:''"Young adventurer... Wouldn't you agree that explorations are the grandest of adventures? Your own wits! Your own strength! Your own Pokémon! And, above all, only your courage to lead you through unknown worlds... Aah, yes, indeed this life is grand! Grand, it is! Eh? I'm Brandon. I'm the Pyramid King, which means I'm in charge here. Most people call me the chief! You coming here means you have that much confidence in yourself, am I right? Hahahah! This should be exciting! Now, then! Bring your courage to our battle!"''

*When defeated
:''"That's it! You’ve done great! You've worked hard for this!"''

*After being defeated
:''"Hahahah! Grand it was! Grand, yes, indeed! Well done! You've earned recognition! Your Frontier Pass, please!"''
:''"Young explorer! I look forward to our next meeting! "''

====Rematch====
*Before battle
:''"...You've finally returned, young explorer... Your love for adventure seems to come deep from within your heart... Yes... You are exactly as I was in my own youth... ... ... ...Ah... The passionate! The dangerous! The desperate! Those days of death-defying, life-affirming adventures are back... Now, then! I sense my courage is off the meter! Everything you have! I'm braced for it all!"''

*When defeated
:''"That's it! You've done it! You kept working for this!"''

*After being defeated
:''"Hahahah! Remarkable! Yes, it's grand, indeed! Young explorer! You've bested me through and through! Here! I want you to have this!"''
:''"Ah, yes! It just goes to show that I have much to learn still! May our paths cross again! Farewell for now, young explorer!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Brandon DP.png|left|250px|thumb|Brandon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
He is shrouded in mystery for most of the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier saga]]. Unlike the other [[Frontier Brain]]s, his silhouette is not shown on its own during the opening and is only seen in the center of the group shot. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s will only find out the location of the Battle Pyramid after they have collected the other six Symbols. This may mean that Brandon ranks higher than the rest of the Frontier Brains, although in the [[Pokémon games|video games]] and {{pkmn|manga}}, this position belongs to {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}. When {{Ash}} finally gets his sixth Frontier Symbol in ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]'', he learns that it is located near [[Pewter City]].

His first {{pkmn|battle}} with Brandon occurred in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]''. At the time, however, Ash was possessed by an [[King of Pokélantis|ancient king]] of the Pyramid who battled Brandon's {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regirock}} with [[Ash's Sceptile]]. Sceptile was defeated, although Ash eventually regained control of his body, and the Pyramid was moved to an area near [[Indigo Plateau]].

For their first official, and second battle in ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', [[Ash's Torkoal]] squared off against Brandon's {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Registeel}}. However, Torkoal was, like Sceptile, defeated by Brandon's [[legendary Pokémon]].

In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} met up with Brandon in a forest. In ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', Brandon and Ash fought in a 4 vs. 4 battle. Brandon's {{p|Dusclops}} defeated [[Ash's Charizard]] in the first round, but was then defeated by [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Then, Brandon's {{p|Ninjask}} squared off against [[Ash's Squirtle]], where Squirtle was able to beat Ninjask with a {{m|Skull Bash}}. In the next round, Squirtle was defeated by Brandon's {{p|Solrock}}, which in turn drew with Bulbasaur. With both competitors left to their last Pokémon, Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}} while Brandon unveiled yet another Pokémon from his legendary collection: this time, a {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}}. Despite the odds, however, Pikachu managed to hold its own against the [[legendary golems|legendary golem]] and came out victorious, becoming only the second Pokémon in the anime to have defeated a legendary Pokémon, after Charizard.

Brandon appeared again in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where he wanted to research the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. While meeting up with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, he is challenged to a [[Full Battle]] by [[Paul]]. Paul loses the match easily due to him losing control of his emotions. Brandon later mentions that they would battle again when Paul is ready.

In ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', Brandon tries, and fails, to stop [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] from disturbing {{p|Regigigas}} in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], which then goes on a rampage. It eventually calms down when Brandon saves it from being turned into a statue by J. Brandon then decides to stay at the Snowpoint Temple, not only to rebuild it, but also allow {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regirock}}, {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}}, and {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Registeel}} to become the new pillars that protect Regigigas.

In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', Paul announced he would return to Snowpoint Temple to re-challenge Brandon. What the outcome of the battle is has yet to be revealed.

Regirock went up against {{AP|Sceptile}} and won despite the type-disadvantage. Regirock later sent {{TRT}} blasting off along with Registeel during Ash and Brandon's [[AG189|rematch]].

Regirock was used in [[DP128|the Full Battle]] against [[Paul]] and was able to easily defeat his {{p|Hariyama}}, {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}, {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, and {{TP|Paul|Magmar}}.}}

The two fought hard, and although Registeel was left extremely weak after the battle, it was Torkoal who was defeated. Registeel later sent Team Rocket blasting off alongside Regirock during Ash and Brandon's rematch.

During the Full Battle against Paul, it was easily able to stand up to his Magmar's {{type|Fire}} moves, despite the type weakness. It also managed to defeat Paul's {{p|Nidoking}} despite taking damage from its {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fighting}} attacks.}}

All seemed lost until J tried to capture Regigigas again, and Brandon and his Regis all risked their lives to protect it, getting petrified by J's bracelet in the process. After J left due to her client canceling the deal, Regigigas restored the ones who protected it to life and then went back to sleep, with Brandon promising to help rebuild the temple and help protect it from further harm.

[[File:Brandon Adventures.png|thumb|right|225px|Brandon in the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
Brandon took witness to {{adv|Emerald}}'s battle with Noland and immediately refined his facility for him, just in case. He seems to carry a special dislike for Emerald, but treats him fairly - explaining the rules of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and showing off his Pokémon to the boy before the challenge. He expects Emerald to be tired out during their confrontation, but is surprised to see that Emerald used a {{p|Phanpy}}'s {{a|Pickup}} Ability to collect enough items to keep his team refreshed. Brandon says he favors [[one-hit knockout move]]s, like {{m|Explosion}}.

==Trivia==
* Brandon tends to yell "Nooo!!" (Japanese: 喝！！ ''Katsu!!'') when he disapproves of something in the anime.
* Whenever Brandon sends out a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}, he first calls out the Pokémon's name and then shouts "I need your assistance!"
* He is the only character to have been challenged 3 times (including the non-official battle with the Ancient King) by Ash before being defeated. In terms of the number of the battles with Ash, he is one of few known Trainers to have battled Ash more than twice.
* Both of the teams that he uses in {{game|Emerald}} are made up of the members of a [[legendary trio]] found in the [[Generation III]] paired [[version]]s. Coincidentally, both trios can also be found in {{v2|Platinum}}, but not in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* Brandon is the only in-game character whose all known teams consist entirely of legendary Pokémon.

Pikachu's Beach

2013-05-24T19:51:41Z

Lucentas: /* Trivia */ Grammar.

[[File:Surfing pika beach.png|200px|right|thumb|Gameplay screenshot of Pikachu's Beach]]
'''Pikachu's Beach''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウのサマービーチ''' ''Pikachu's Summer Beach'') is a minigame exclusive to {{game|Yellow}}. If the {{player}} brings a {{DL|Pikachu variants|Surfing Pikachu}} to the Surfin' Dude (Japanese: なみのりオヤジ ''Surfing Old Man'') at Summer Beach House (Japanese: うみのいえ ''Sea House'') on {{rt|19|Kanto}}, Pikachu's Beach can be played. A common way of obtaining a Surfing Pikachu is to transfer one from {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, though there are other methods.

If the game is played on a {{wp|Super Game Boy}}, {{wp|Super Game Boy#Super Game Boy 2|Super Game Boy 2}} or {{nw|Game Boy Color}}, {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}'s cheeks appear blue due to the limited color palette of these consoles.

It is important to note that Summer Beach House is exclusive to Pokémon Yellow, not being present in any other [[Version|main series]] games set in [[Kanto]].

==Gameplay==
The goal of the minigame is to score as many points as possible. The {{player}} controls {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} using the {{nw|Game Boy}}'s Control Pad. As Pikachu is launched over a wave, the left and right buttons can be pressed to cause Pikachu to flip. Bonus "rad" points may be granted for landing safely.

The score system, measured in "Radness", is as follows:
* one flip = 50 points;
* two flips = 150 points;
* three flips = 350 points.

More points are granted depending on whether the player performed a flip in the opposite direction at least once in any number of flips: 180 points in a total of 2 flips and 500 points in a total of 3. The HP (not to be confused with the {{stat|HP|HP stat}} of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}) counter in the lower right corner acts as a timer and is constantly decreasing from 6,000 HP. On the opposite side of this counter is a progress bar that shows how far Pikachu is from the shore. The game will finish once Pikachu reaches the shore. "Radness" along with remaining HP is then summed up to determine the final score.

The game scroll rate will increase the more flips Pikachu manages to pull off successfully, which consequently increases the rate at which Pikachu reaches the shore. The scroll rate drops if Pikachu fails a flip and falls underwater. When the game is over, Pikachu is scored based on the remaining HP and "Radness". The high score is saved and can be recalled anytime by checking the machine at Summer Beach House on {{rt|19|Kanto}}. The [[Game Boy Printer]] can be used to print out the high score as well.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pikachu's Beach Unused Bonus.png|frame|right|The unused 750 points bonus]]
* This minigame was referenced in the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''.
* In {{g|Snap}}, a {{p|Pikachu}} on the ''Beach'' level can be seen on a {{wp|surfboard}}.
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, it is possible to obtain a {{p|Pikachu}} that knows {{m|Surf}}. When used in-game, Pikachu will use a {{wp|surfboard}}.
* The music theme for Pikachu's Beach is stored on a soundbank which doesn't exist in the previous [[Version|main series]] [[Generation I]] games, along with the Rocket Duo encounter and Printer Error themes and an [[Pokémon Yellow beta#Unused music|unused track]].
* There is a seemingly [[Pokémon Yellow beta#Unused Pikachu's Beach bonus|unused]] 750-point "Radness" bonus. It isn't achievable regardless of how many times {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} flips, and/or if it has flipped in the opposite direction or not.
* The gameplay of this minigame is similar to the popular {{nw|Nintendo Entertainment System|NES}} game {{wp|Excitebike}}.
* An [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen beta|unused house interior]] for [[Route]]s {{rtn|19|Kanto}} and {{rtn|23|Kanto}} exists in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'s data, possibly belonging to the Summer Beach House, which suggests that Pikachu's Beach might have been planned for the [[Generation I]] remakes.

Braviary is an eagle-like Pokémon. His face and underside are a navy blue, while his back and the dorsal side of his wings are dark red. He has a bright blue {{wp|cere}} above his yellow beak, from which extends a red, three-pointed crest. White plumes sprout from each point of the crest, and similar feathers are present on the sides of Braviary's face. Along with the feathery "mane" on the back of his head and neck, these features resemble a {{wp|Native American}} {{wp|war bonnet}}. Braviary's legs are feathered down to its feet, ending in spiky feathers on the upper portions of Braviary's large yellow talons. These powerful claws are tipped with black nails. His tail feathers are mainly red, with a blue tip and a yellow subterminal band.

==Trivia==
* Braviary represents {{wp|August}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].

===Origin===
Braviary is based on an {{wp|eagle}}, specifically the {{wp|Bald Eagle}}. Some of his physical characteristics, such as the fully-feathered legs and the light-colored "crown" on his nape, are reminiscent of a {{wp|Golden Eagle}}. He also has feathers on his head that resemble a {{wp|war bonnet}}. Some species of eagle, such as the {{wp|Philippine Eagle}}, possess a similar crest. His color scheme and basis suggest he is inspired by {{wp|Flag of the United States|the Star-Spangled Banner}}, the flag of the {{wp|United States of America}}, which is red, white, and blue and the national symbol of which is the Bald Eagle. He also resembles a {{wp|Native American}} warrior.

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Rufflet and Braviary were added early into the development of {{v2|Black and White|s}}.

====Name origin====
Braviary is a corruption of ''bravery'' and a combination of ''brave'' and ''{{wp|aviary}}''. "Home of the brave" is a lyric found in the "{{wp|The Star-Spangled Banner}}", the national anthem of the United States. ''Brave'' may also refer to the term used for {{wp|Native American}} warriors, as in some native tribes, the {{wp|eagle}} is a sacred animal.

Warrgle is a combination of ''{{wp|war}}'' or ''{{wp|warrior}}'' and ''eagle''. It may also involve ''warble'', a sound a bird makes.

'''Rufflet''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワシボン''' ''Washibon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

He [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Braviary}} starting at [[level]] 54.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rufflet is an avian Pokémon that resembles an eaglet. His head has a thick covering of fuzzy white down and a grayish-blue face. A single red and white plume, which resembles an honor feather, extends from his forehead. Rufflet's body and wings are the same shade of blue as his face, and both seem rather miniature compared to the size of his head. He has large yellow feet tipped with black talons, and his beak is also yellow. Rufflet's tail is squared-off at the tip and his coloration matches his downy head.

====Gender differences====
Rufflet is a male-only species. {{p|Vullaby}} is regarded as their female counterpart, but is a separate species and cannot produce Rufflet Eggs.

===Special abilities===
Rufflet are very powerful for their size, possessing great physical strength and a highly competitive nature. They use their talons to crush [[Berry|Berries]], and they are capable of using many aerial and wind-based attacks, as would be expected from a {{t|Flying}} type. They become even stronger by battling over and over.

===Behavior===
Rufflet will indiscriminately challenge foes to battle, even strong ones.

===Habitat===
Rufflet live in rugged, mountainous habitat and around gorges. They are also found in areas by water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Rufflet is one of five non-legendary Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Dex]] that is not used by any in-game [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] outside of the [[Battle Subway]] and Battle Institute. The other four are {{p|Ferrothorn}}, {{p|Vullaby}}, {{p|Mandibuzz}} and {{p|Zweilous}}.

===Origin===
Rufflet's design is likely based on the {{wp|Ruff}}, whose males (Rufflet are male-only) are known for their head tufts (similar to Rufflet's).

Rufflet's design also seems based on an {{wp|eagle}}t. The single plume on his head resembles an honor feather, such as those worn by the {{wp|Plains Indians}}. Like Braviary, Rufflet is based on {{wp|Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American}} warriors.

Rufflet also seems to have some basis on parrots as well. In the anime one is shown using his talons to crack open a nut, and then bring the nut to his bill using his foot. Parrots are the only bird species that can use their feet to bring food to their mouth.

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Rufflet and Braviary were added early into the development of {{v2|Black and White|s}}.

====Name origin====
Rufflet is a combination of either ''{{wp|Ruff}},'' ''ruffle,'' ''rough,'' or ''ruff'' and ''eaglet'' (a young eagle).

Washibon may be a combination of 鷲 ''washi'' (eagle) and ''ibon'' (Filipino for ''bird'') or ''haribon'' ({{wp|Philippine Eagle}}).

==In other languages==

'''Cipher''' (Japanese: '''シャドー''' ''Shadow'') is an evil syndicate with plans of world domination that it set in motion during the course of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

==In [[Pokémon Colosseum]]==
{{spoilers}}
The organization first appears at the beginning of [[Pokémon Colosseum]], where [[Wes]] sees two thugs, later revealed to be Cipher members [[Trudly]] and [[Folly]], carry off a sack after a supposed heist. The sack contains a [[Rui|girl]], which Wes discovers on venturing to [[Phenac City]], who has the ability to see the dark [[aura]] Cipher's [[Shadow Pokémon]] emit. After consulting briefly with the [[Es Cade|mayor]] of [[Phenac City]], [[Es Cade]], Wes and [[Rui]] venture off to defeat Cipher.

Most cities in [[Orre]] are either overrun by the group or controlled entirely by them: three of Cipher's four administrators, [[Miror B.]], [[Dakim]], and [[Venus]], control [[Pyrite Town]], [[Mt. Battle]], and [[The Under]], respectively, when Wes firsts arrives at each, having taken over the towns from their people through threats, covert means, and outright violence. [[Agate Village]] is also terrorized by the group, with the goal of destroying the [[Relic Stone]].

Cipher's fourth administrator, [[Ein]], serves as their lead scientist, and is the chief developer of Shadow Pokémon in a [[Shadow Pokémon Laboratory|secret laboratory]] in the desert. [[Nascour]] is chief executive of the operation, giving directives to the admins, only appearing in person twice.

[[Team Snagem]] became partners to Cipher's plot: Team Snagem would steal Pokémon from Trainers, while Cipher would corrupt them and turn them into Shadow Pokémon. Cipher was the original developer of the [[Snag Machine]] stolen from Team Snagem by Wes.

With their Shadow Pokémon scheme nearing completion, despite Wes' [[snagging]] of the Shadow Pokémon he had encountered, Cipher opens the newly-completed [[Realgam Tower]] in the middle of the Orre desert, hoping to use its colosseum as a moneymaking venture where spectators could witness brutal battles between Pokémon who were fighting for their lives. With the intervention of Wes, this was prevented, and Nascour was defeated. However, at that moment, [[Es Cade]] arrives, revealing himself to be [[Evice]], Cipher's true leader. He is defeated as well, and attempts to escape with a helicopter to avoid arrest; however, {{p|Ho-Oh}} destroys the helicopter with {{m|Sacred Fire}}, ending Cipher's scheme.

==In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]==
{{spoilers}}
Cipher returns in {{Pokémon XD}}, having refined their [[Shadow Pokémon]] creation and distribution techniques. Only [[Miror B.]] is present from the first plot, though he no longer works for Cipher. Instead, he and his minions, Folly and Trudly, seek to create Team Miror B. and own all the Pokémon in the world. During the game, Miror B. will collect any Shadow Pokémon that [[Michael]] fails to snag.

All other members of the previous Cipher administration are presumed to either still be at large or in prison, and new administrators have been appointed. [[Lovrina]] serves as chief supervisor of Cipher's research and development team, who are overhauling Ein's techniques to create a Shadow Pokémon that is impossible to purify. [[Snattle]] serves as Cipher's political pawn who intends to be inserted as [[Orre]]'s new Governor, while [[Gorigan]] is in charge of the [[Cipher Key Lair]], where the newest breed of Shadow Pokémon are made in groups.

[[Eldes]] and [[Ardos]] serve as bodyguards for Cipher's Grand Master, [[Greevil]], accompanying him throughout the region as he tours it in disguise as [[Mr. Verich]]. The two are also Greevil's sons, but while Ardos remains unquestioningly loyal to his father's plans, Eldes shows discontent and fear that Greevil is going too far in his bid for power.

A possibility is hinted at by an [[Non-player character|NPC]], and confirmed by [[Sherles]] in {{Pokémon XD}}, that [[Evice]] may not have been the ''true'' leader of Cipher, and that Greevil was always the Grand Master. It is possible that the ''wealthy old man'', mentioned as having made a fortune in [[The Under]]'s mines, is Greevil himself.

==Trivia==
* Cipher has similar plans to [[Team Dim Sun]] in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. Both of them have an undercover boss playing a major role in the region ([[Blake Hall]] as President of Altru and [[Es Cade]] as Mayor of Phenac City), both build a tower as part of their plans ([[Altru Tower]] and [[Realgam Tower]]) and make Pokémon lose their memories ([[Gigaremo units]] and [[Shadow Pokémon]]). Also, they are final bosses of their respective games, and can be re-battled at will.
* Cipher also has similar plans to [[Team Rocket]]. Both either stole Pokémon personally or were otherwise involved in Pokémon theft, both had plans for world domination involving Pokémon, both leaders also had a respectable and unassuming position in the first city visited by the player (Giovanni was the Gym Leader of Viridian City, whereas Evice/Es Cade was the Mayor of Phenac City), and both ended up being revived a few years later by someone other than their [[Giovanni|original]] [[Evice|leaders]].
* Unlike other villain groups, Cipher is indicated to regularly use physical force on humans; during the kidnapping of [[Professor Krane]] and attack on the [[ONBS]], Trainers are found injured on the ground mentioning they couldn't stop Cipher, and during the attack on [[Phenac City]], Cipher forces [[Justy]] to surrender by threatening hostages. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] it is shown that [[Shadow Pokémon]] do not hesitate to attack humans, which is also one of the possible effects on Shadow Pokémon in [[Hyper Mode]].

[[File:Goldenrod City GS.png|thumb|220px|right|Goldenrod City in Gold and Silver]]
'''Goldenrod City''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|コガネシティ|Kogane Shiti}}''' ''Kogane City'') is a sprawling metropolis located in western [[Johto]]. It is the largest city in the region, rivaling [[Celadon City]], the largest city in [[Kanto]]. Goldenrod City is the third largest city in the [[Pokémon world]], behind [[Unova]]'s [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]]. Goldenrod is the center of the region's economy and telecommunications. Major attractions for Trainers include the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], the city's [[Goldenrod Department Store|Department Store]], [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Game Corner]], [[Name Rater]], [[Magnet Train]], [[Global Terminal]] (HeartGold and SoulSilver only) and [[Goldenrod Gym|Gym]].

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Goldenrod City in order to win the {{Badge|Plain}} from [[Whitney]], the Goldenrod [[Gym Leader]], who specializes in {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

The [[National Park]], along with the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], is located north of Goldenrod off {{rt|35|Johto}} while the [[Pokémon Day Care]] is just south of the city on {{rt|34|Johto}}.

==Places of interest==
===Miracle Cycle===
{{main|Miracle Cycle}}
The lone Bike Shop in [[Johto]] is located in an isolated neighborhood in east Goldenrod, where business doesn't seem to be doing very good. The owner of the shop moved his business from [[Cerulean City]] to Goldenrod between Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}} and Generation {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}.

The player obtains their [[Bicycle]] from this shop for free. The owner of the store first simply loans the player the Bicycle, but after his number of customers drastically increases, he calls the {{player}} on the [[Pokégear]] to let the player know that he/she can keep it.

===Goldenrod Department Store===
{{main|Goldenrod Department Store}}
The Goldenrod Department Store, located in the city center, claims to have a full selection of Pokémon Goods for Trainers. Though the store does not carry more advanced items such as {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}s{{sup/2|GSC}}, {{ball|Ultra}}s{{sup/2|GSC}}, or {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}s, it does back up its claim by boasting the widest selection of specialty items in Johto. It is one of the largest buildings in Goldenrod City, making it easy to find.

The lowest level of the store connects to the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]], which encompasses most of western Goldenrod. A team of workers and a {{p|Machoke}} are moving boxes around. People get told off by the worker for going down and distracting them. This is one of the endpoints of the Goldenrod Tunnel. In Generation II, every time the player enters the area, the boxes will be moved in various places, allowing access to items that are on the ground in blocked rooms. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the boxes are instead moved when the player interacts with workers in the area.

===Goldenrod Game Corner===
{{main|Goldenrod Game Corner}}
[[Johto]]'s installment of the [[Game Corner]] is located in Goldenrod across the main north-south road from the department store. The parlor features slot machines among other varieties of games. In {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Move Tutor]] can be found standing outside the building on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

There are two games to play: the slot machines and [[Card flip]]. One to three coins can be put in the [[slot machine]] each play. One Coin will only count the center row across, two Coins will count all three rows across, and three Coins will count all three rows across as well as both diagonals. The reels stop spinning when the A button is pressed. The [[Card flip]] minigame is exclusive to [[Generation II]]. The {{player}} can pick either a card or a group of cards, making it much like {{wp|roulette}}. The deck has 24 cards, each one with a number between 1 and 6 and a picture of one of four Pokémon ({{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Oddish}}, or {{p|Poliwag}}). Bets can be placed by a single card, by a single column, by a single row, by a pair of columns, or by a pair of rows. In non-Japanese versions of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, these games are replaced by the [[Voltorb Flip]] minigame.

===Johto Name Rater===
{{main|Name Rater}}
The Johto Name Rater is located in a house near the [[gate]] separating Goldenrod from {{rt|35|Johto}}. Here, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can have the [[nickname]]s of their Pokémon rated and, if the Pokémon's ID number matches the [[Trainer ID number|Trainer's ID number]], the nickname can be changed.

If the Pokémon was caught by the {{player}} that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it.

If the Pokémon he's judging was obtained via a [[trade]], he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical Trainer IDs and [[Trainer ID number|secret IDs]], he will allow name changes.

===Radio Tower===
{{main|Goldenrod Radio Tower}}
The Goldenrod Radio Tower, located at the west end of the main east-west path through the city, is the source of all [[Pokégear]] broadcasts in [[Johto]]. An antenna on top of the tower transmits three radio programs daily, with a fourth program being aired between 6 P.M. and 12 A.M. every night. The building has three studios spread over five floors. The Radio Tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] and [[Buena's Password]], a new radio show that debuted in {{game|Crystal}} and that returns in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, the station has two studios, located on the fourth and fifth floors. A third studio is added in Pokémon Crystal on the second floor. In every version, the tower has a welcome center, as well as a computer linked to [[Bill's PC]] and the {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s personal computer, on the first floor and a small café on the second floor. The technical operations of the tower are handled by way of a network of computers on the third and fourth floors. The manager of the tower has an office on the fifth floor.

For a short time in [[Generation II]] and its {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Generation IV remakes}}, the tower falls into the clutches of [[Team Rocket]], during which time none of the normal broadcasts are aired. Following the {{player}}'s collection of seven [[Badge|Gym Badges]], it is necessary to purge the Radio Tower of Team Rocket in order to continue the storyline as a man selling [[RageCandyBar]]s in [[Mahogany Town]] will prevent access to {{rt|44|Johto}}, the eastern path out of Mahogany, until the Radio Tower has been returned to normal.

===Magnet Train station===
{{main|Magnet Train}}
[[File:Magnet Train arrive HGSS.png|thumb|200px|right|The Magnet Train as seen in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
[[Saffron City]] and Goldenrod City are linked by a railway used by the Magnet Train, a high-speed train that runs regularly between the two cities. The train follows no set schedule, making the Magnet Train an ideal way to travel between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

To board the train, a potential rider must have a {{key|IV|Pass}}. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} of [[Saffron City]] has one (given to her as compensation for the fact that the station in Saffron is built where her house used to be), and is willing to give it up as a reward for returning her {{pkmn|doll|Poké Doll}} that {{ga|Red}} gave to her [[Generation I|three years before]].

Initially, the train is out of service as a minion of [[Team Rocket]] has stolen the {{key|IV|Machine Part}} from the [[Power Plant]] in Kanto. After defeating him in [[Cerulean City]], {{player}}s can retrieve the part from the [[Cerulean Gym]] and return it to the Power Plant. With the part back in place, the train will have the necessary power to run.

===Goldenrod Tunnel===
{{main|Goldenrod Tunnel}}
An underground path, the Goldenrod Tunnel, runs from the southwestern side of the city to the northwestern area, with a branch leading to the basement of the [[Goldenrod Department Store|Department Store]]. A [[Haircut brothers|pair of groomers]] in the tunnel will groom Pokémon, increasing the [[friendship]] of the groomed Pokémon, for a small fee.

This path contains a barber shop, [[Herb Shop]], and a shop selling [[valuable item]]s—which are to be simply resold for profit. Shops are only open on certain [[days of the week]], and in some cases, at certain [[time]]s. The path is also notorious for having litter carelessly left there by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Additionally, there is an entrance to the basement of the Department Store, which is initially occupied by [[Team Rocket]].

===Flower shop===
A flower shop is located in the northeast area of the city, where the player can obtain the {{DL|Watering cans|SquirtBottle}}, the [[key item]] needed to get past the {{p|Sudowoodo}} who blocks the player's path on {{rt|36|Johto}}; however, the SquirtBottle can only be obtained after defeating [[Whitney]].

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} can be obtained here with a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} as the [[walking Pokémon]]. Also only in HeartGold and SoulSilver, after Sudowoodo has been cleared from {{rt|36|Johto}}, [[Mulch]] can also be bought here.

===Friendship checker===
A woman in a house near [[Miracle Cycle]] is able to determine the [[friendship]] of the first Pokémon in the player's party.

* When a Pokémon has between 0-69 friendship, she will say, "It doesn't seem to like you at all. It looks mean."
* When a Pokémon has between 70-149 friendship, she will say, "You should treat it better. It's not used to you."
* When a Pokémon has between 150-199 friendship, she will say, "It's friendly toward you. It looks sort of happy."
* When a Pokémon has between 200-219 friendship, she will say, "I get the feeling that it really trusts you."
* When a Pokémon has between 220-255 friendship, she will say, "It looks really happy! It must love you a lot."

===Bill's house===
Goldenrod City is the hometown of [[Bill]], the inventor of both [[Kanto]]'s and [[Johto]]'s [[Pokémon Storage System]]. It is also the home of the rest of his family, who lives in a small house near the southern entrance of [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. However, some of his family also lives in [[Fuchsia City]], and in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], his [[Bill's grandfather|grandfather]] watches over his Sea Cottage on {{rt|25|Kanto}}.

===Pokémon Communication Center===
{{main|Pokémon Communication Center}}
[[File:Goldenrod City C JP.png|thumb|220px|right|Goldenrod City in the Japanese Crystal. Notice the PokéCom Center replacing the regular Pokémon Center.]]
In the Japanese version of {{v2|Crystal}}, the [[Pokémon Center]] was expanded into a much larger building, called the Pokémon Communication Center, and shortened to PokéCom Center. It took use of the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] and the [[Mobile Adapter GB]], which required connecting to a {{wp|mobile phone}}.

The Pokémon Communication Center housed the facilities for the aforementioned systems, such as the Pokémon News Machine, which compiles news from the save files of {{player}}s across Japan. Reading the news would sent out a player's own save file data, allowing others to read about the player's adventure.

It is most famous for being related to the [[GS Ball]] {{pkmn|event}} that allowed to encounter and catch {{p|Celebi}}. The GS Ball would be delivered to the player by a nurse in the Pokémon Communication Center, which should then be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to investigate. In the day after, the player could retrieve the GS Ball from Kurt and take it to the shrine in [[Ilex Forest]] to summon a battle with a level 30 Celebi.

The building and its associated features were removed from international releases of Crystal, which also caused the restoration of the regular Pokémon Center from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. However, they are still available in the programming of the international releases and most of the scripts are fully translated in the English versions.

The sign outside in the English versions, either by restoring the Pokémon Communication Center in the map via hacking or by analyzing the game's dialog scripts in the programming, reads:

{{sign|RBY|header}}

{{sign|RBY|POKéCOM CENTER}}
{{sign|RBY|footer}}

===Global Terminal===
[[File:Global Terminal HGSS.png|thumb|100px|right|The Global Terminal]]
{{main|Global Terminal}}
The Global Terminal is the worldwide network over which players can interact in different ways via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], only seen in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In order to access the terminal, {{player}}s must have the first [[Badge]] of Johto. The first Pokémon in the player's party is returned to its [[Poké Ball]] before entering the building.

The Global Trade Station lets a player send and receive Pokémon on the worldwide network. If the player talks with the woman at the counter, she will direct them into a room in which they can either trade for a Pokémon put there by another player, or put their own Pokémon up for trade.

Players can go to the second floor by using the green warp panels. There are two points of interest on this floor: Box Data, which is located on the western side and the northern set of green machines; and Dress-Up Data, which is located just below the Box Data in the south-eastern corner. Players can go here by using the pink warp panels. There is only one point of interest on this floor: the Battle Video Gallery located on the western side and the set of the pink machines.

===Goldenrod Gym===
{{main|Goldenrod Gym}}
[[File:Goldenrod Gym HGSS.png|thumb|200px|right|Goldenrod Gym in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
The Goldenrod Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Goldenrod City. It is based on {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Whitney]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Plain}}. In [[Generation II]], the Goldenrod Gym is a maze of flowers and ornaments. The {{player}} must navigate their way around the Gym floor by going around the wall of pretty flowers first, then enter the middle section. The Trainers in the Gym are hard to avoid, and most of them must be battled in order to challenge Whitney, who is located in the middle of the Gym.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, many aesthetic changes have been made to the Goldenrod Gym. The overall layout of the Gym remains the same; however, the outer part of the Gym has been raised to create a platform above the rest of the Gym. To reach Whitney, the player must navigate their way around the raised platform, battle Trainers, and go though an arch below one of the platforms.

When Leader Whitney is defeated, she throws a temper tantrum and cries. Then, the player must talk to her. After drying her eyes and blowing her nose, she will get over her loss and give the player the {{Badge|Plain}}, {{TM|45|Attract}}, and the ability to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Crystal===
In {{game|Crystal}}, Goldenrod City has a total population of 105, being the largest city at the time. However, this was short-lived, as {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} introduced a larger city—[[Lilycove City]], which has a population of 123.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Goldenrod City has a total population of 126, making it the largest city in [[Johto]]. Its population is more than triple the second-most populous city in [[Johto]], [[Violet City]], which only has a population of 40. This number makes Goldenrod the third largest city in the [[Pokémon world]], behind [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Goldenrod City anime.png|thumb|180px|right|Goldenrod City in the anime]]
{{incomplete|section}}
Goldenrod City first appeared in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in the city as Ash wanted to win his third Johto League Gym [[Badge]] here. However, the Gym was closed, so the gang decided to explore the city, specifically the Goldenrod Galleria. Unfortunately, the city is so large, that {{an|Brock}} lost his way, which lead them to meet [[Whitney]], who offered to guide them to the Galleria through the [[Goldenrod Tunnel|Underground Path]]. Eventually, once the gang learned that Whitney is the Gym Leader, Ash battled her in an attempt to win the {{Badge|Plain}}, though he ultimately ended up losing to [[Whitney's Miltank]].

The travelers remained in the city through the events of ''[[EP159|A Dairy Tale Ending]]'', as Ash prepared for a rematch against Whitney, while Whitney took them to visit her uncle's dairy farm. After an attack by {{TRT}} at the farm, Ash and Whitney began their second battle. Ultimately, Ash did not win an even battle, but Whitney awarded him the Plain Badge anyway.

The city was seen once again in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. With Ash coming off his victory against Whitney, the gang visited the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], where Ash was interviewed by [[DJ Mary]]. Following the events of this episode, the trio departed from the city.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
In the [[Ash and Pikachu]] manga, {{Ash}} and his friends visit Goldenrod City in ''[[SP02|The Beginning Of Good Luck?! Pokémon Fortune Telling]]''. There, they meet [[Whitney's grandmother]], a fortune teller, and Ash challenges [[Whitney]] at [[Goldenrod Gym]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{incomplete|section}}
In ''[[PS105|Smeargle Smudge]]'', {{adv|Gold}} reaches Goldenrod and has his face painted by a {{p|Smeargle}}. The [[Radio Director]] offers him a spot on the show "Pokémon Talent Round-Up". There, he meets Whitney and argues with her, causing an influx of positive calls from listeners who wanted them to battle. Instead of a normal battle, they have a Pokémon Battle race where one Trainer must reach the end point, and both Trainers are allowed to use their Pokémon.

{{adv|Ruby}} was born in Goldenrod City; however, his family moved to the [[Hoenn]] region when he was young.

==Trivia==
* The placement of the [[Global Terminal]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in Goldenrod City may have been inspired by the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] that replaced the regular [[Pokémon Center]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} in the Japanese version of {{v2|Crystal}}.
* The song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Music Super Complete|Goldenrod City]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|コガネシティ|Kogane Shiti}}) serves as the base for the song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Music Super Complete|Bicycle]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|じてんしゃ|Jitensha}}), since the latter is a sped up version of the former which also uses different instruments.
* Goldenrod's English motto in [[Generation II]] was "''The Festive City of Opulent Charm''".
* When the player arrives in the city after using the [[Magnet Train]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the guard states that the stress is to be placed on the letter "o". However, there are two "o"s in G'''o'''ldenr'''o'''d, and the guard does not state whether the stress is on the first "o" or the second.

{{cleanup}}
[[File:Platinum menu.png‎|frame|{{v2|Platinum}}'s menu]]
The '''menu''', also known as the '''start menu''', is a sidebar used in all of the [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]]. This tool allows the {{player}} to cycle through a list of information and options. The menu's contents have changed from [[generation]] to generation, and may also change as a player progresses through the game.

From [[Generation I]] through [[Generation III]], the menu was accessed via the Start Button. In [[Generation IV]], the menu is accessible by pressing the X button. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the menu is always on open on the bottom screen and can be arrow-selectable by pressing the X button, or the player can simply touch the desired option with the stylus. [[Generation V]]'s menu is the same as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, but it no longer is always open. Generation V also added a shortcut list that can be added to by checking the box below any of the screens within the '''Pokémon''', '''Pokédex''', '''Bag''', '''Player's Name''', or '''Options''' menu commands (accessible by pressing the Y button).

==Menu commands==
===Pokédex===
{{main|Pokédex}}
[[File:Platinum National Pokédex.png|frame|200px|Platinum's National Pokédex]]
The ''Pokédex'' command displays the player's Pokédex. Information is recorded here about Pokémon the player has seen and caught. The Pokédex command is usually found at the top of the menu and must be obtained as the player progresses through the game. On the Pokédex interface, a list of Pokémon is displayed in numerical order and can be scrolled through vertically. Pokémon that haven't been seen by the player are marked with question marks or dashes. On the other hand, information for Pokémon that haven't been caught but have been encountered isn't displayed. Images are available in the Pokédex for all Pokémon caught or encountered. Once the player selects a previously caught Pokémon from the list, the Pokémon's information is displayed in sections including a description, the area in which the Pokémon is found, its cry, its size and weight, and its different forms. For Pokémon that have only been encountered and not caught, no height and weight information, species information, or description are available.

====Generation I====
[[Professor Oak]] gives the player a Pokédex after the player returns from [[Viridian City]] and delivers {{key|I|Oak's Parcel|a parcel}}. The Pokémon's cry is played immediately when viewing the summary page in the Pokédex. In {{game|Yellow}}, a print option is available for accessing the [[Game Boy Printer]].

====Generation II====
The Pokédex is obtained when the player first meets Professor Oak, on a mission from [[Professor Elm]] to meet with [[Mr. Pokémon]].

An [[Unown Dex]] is also an available upgrade. A print option is available for accessing the Game Boy Printer. The [[footprint]]s of Pokémon are listed in the description page. The cry and nest area of the Pokémon are selectable options at the bottom of the summary page.

====Generation III====
[[Professor Birch]] gives the player a Pokédex after their first battle with their [[rival]]. The National Pokédex is introduced in this generation, as well as options for sorting Pokémon by features rather than just names and numbers. Once the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained, one can switch between the regional and National listings. Another new option is the search feature, which allows the player to search by color, type and first letter of the Pokémon's name.

====Generation IV====
[[Professor Rowan]] gives the player a Pokédex in [[Sandgem Town]] some time after choosing a starter Pokémon.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the regional Pokédex has been changed for the first time to include more native Pokémon.

====Generation V====
[[Professor Juniper]] gives the player a Pokédex in [[Nuvema Town]] once she sees the [[Starter Pokémon]] the player selected.

[[File:Platinum Pokémon menu.png|frame|left|200px|Party in Platinum]]
===Pokémon===
====Generation I====
The ''Pokémon'' command displays the player's current [[party]]. Once accessed, it will display the six party slots and the Pokémon present in the player's party. The Pokémon order and line-up can be changed by switching their places or by removing Pokémon at the [[PC]]. By selecting an individual Pokémon, its '''summary''' (called '''stats''' prior to [[Generation III]]) will appear. The summary information is dependent on what is available in the game's generation. In all generations, it includes the status of the Pokémon, its current [[level]], [[Experience|experience points]], [[stats]] and current [[move]]set.

====Generation II====
The Pokémon's gender is added.

====Generation III====
In this generation, due to new features, new information can be accessed from the Pokémon menu. The Pokémon's [[Ability]], [[Nature]], {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|markings}}, preference of taste and where the Pokémon was first met were included. With the appearance of [[Pokémon Contests]], a move's information on Contests (its appeal, condition, etc.) can now be seen as well.

====Generation IV====
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, several features formerly found in the [[PokéNav]] can now be seen in this menu. This included the Pokémon's [[condition]] and the [[Ribbon]]s they have earned. A Pokémon's [[Pokéathlon]] stats in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are displayed here.

====Generation V====
Apart from an aesthetic change, {{game|Black and White|s}}'s party screen remains the same as in Generation IV.

===Bag===
{{main|Bag}}
[[File:Platinum bag menu.png|frame||200px|Bag menu in Platinum]]
The ''Bag'' or ''Item'' command displays the player's Bag and the [[item]]s found inside. By opening the Bag, the player can change and arrange items in the Bag, along with registering and tossing items. Beginning in Generation II, registering a key item allows the player to easily activate and use the item using the select button, or Y button in [[Generation IV]].

====Generation I====
Any item placed in the Bag goes in a single pocket. Ninety-nine copies of an item count as taking up one slot, and twenty different items are allowed in the Bag, in total. When the Bag is full, the player's [[PC]] can be used for item storage.

====Generation II====
Items are automatically separated into four different pockets: Healing items (including [[Berry|Berries]]), [[Poké Ball]]s, [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, and Key items.

====Generation III====
The Bag is in either a girl's or boy's design, and it moves whenever something is done. When the limit of ninety-nine items is reached, the player now can carry more of that particular item by using a second slot in the Bag. This generation also expands the Pocket System from Generation II, with five pockets available instead of four:
* Items
* Berries
* Poké Balls
* TMs and HMs
* Key Items

In {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Bag is only divided into Items, Key Items, and Poké Balls. There are two sub-pockets in the Key Items pocket, TM Case and Berry Pouch, which hold TMs and HMs and Berries, respectively. Also, beginning with FireRed and LeafGreen, when an item is viewed, it will have a sprite.

====Generation IV====
Generation IV changed the Pocket System even more, dividing the Bag even further:

* Items
* Medicine
* [[Poké Ball]]s
* [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s
* [[Berry|Berries]]
* [[Mail]]
* Battle Items
* Key Items

The player can navigate the Bag by either using the face buttons on the DS or using the Touch Screen to scroll through the Bag and items.

Unlike previous generations, the Bag has an infinite amount of space within it, meaning that the PC Item Storage system is obsolete and therefore not present. It is replaced within the PC menu with an option for decorating [[Poké Ball]]s with [[Seal]]s instead.

=====HeartGold and SoulSilver=====
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Bag is completely operated on the touch screen. However, buttons are still available to be used. Items are now listed six on a page, and moving items within the pockets must be done by selecting them, choosing "Move", and then selecting the destination. Two key items can now be registered as opposed to one. Both key items have buttons on the Touch Screen, however only the first one will have a face button shortcut (the Y button).

====Generation V====
Generation V made the Bag a bit smaller, excluding the [[Mail]], Poké Balls, and Battle Items pockets. The items that were previously inside these pockets now show up in the Items pocket. Also, there is a button on the bottom of the screen in the Bag that will automatically sort items (first by type, and then alphabetically) alongside sorting with the Select button.

===Pokémon applications===
====Generation I====
There is no application in Generation I.

====Generation II====
{{main|Pokégear}}
[[File:Pokégear Time GSC.png|frame|Pokégear display]]
In Generation II, the ''PokéGear'' command displays the player's [[Pokégear]]. It displays the map of the region, names of previously fought Trainers, and the current time. It also allows players to call registered Trainers. The main character of {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} receives a Pokégear from their mother at the start of their journey. It has several functions, some of which need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards. The functions of the PokéGear include:

* ''Time'' - The Pokégear displays the day of the week and the time of day, entered at the beginning of the game.
* ''Map'' - The Pokégear displays a map of [[Johto]], and later [[Kanto]].
* ''Phone'' - The Pokégear will function like a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that the player has traded phone numbers with.
* ''Radio'' - The Pokégear functions as a radio, allowing the player to listen to radio shows and music.

====Generation III====
{{main|PokéNav}}
[[File:Pokenav menu.png|frame|PokéNav display in Emerald]]
In Generation III, the ''PokéNav'' command displays the player's PokéNav. The PokéNav command is only available in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. It displays the map of the region, names of previously fought Trainers, conditions of Pokémon, and the Ribbons on the Pokémon. Mr. Stone gives it to the player for recovering the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} from [[Team Aqua]] or [[Team Magma]]. It has several new functions. Most of them are already programmed in when received:

*''Map'' - The PokéNav displays a map of [[Hoenn]], along with the current location of its owner.
*''Condition'' - The PokéNav checks the conditions of Pokémon in detail. It can be set to search only through party Pokémon, or all Pokémon owned combined.
*''Trainer's Eyes'' - The PokéNav will keep track of Trainers and alert the user when they want a rematch. This function appears only in {{v2|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
*''Match Call'' - An upgraded version of the Trainer's Eyes only available in {{v2|Emerald}}, it allows its user to call anyone who has had their PokéNav registered with theirs, similar to the cell phone feature of the [[Pokégear]].
*''Ribbons'' - The PokéNav will display the [[Ribbon]]s the Pokémon have acquired, either via {{pkmn|Contest}}s or special events. This function can only be activated if a Pokémon receives a Ribbon.

=====FireRed and LeafGreen=====
{{main|Fame Checker}}
The ''Fame Checker'' was introduced in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} as an information collector for important NPCs ([[Gym Leader|Gym Leaders]], the [[Elite Four]], etc.). The player must talk to NPCs, look at [[Gym]] signs, or read [[Pokémon Journal|Pokemon Journals]] to obtain Fame Checker information.

====Generation IV====
{{main|Pokétch}}
With the Generation IV games being on the DS, the application feature in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Pokétch, can be seen on the touch screen, instead of in the menu.

{{main|Pokégear}}
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokégear's features are utilized on separate screens and must be selected in the menu.

====Generation V====
{{main|C-Gear}}
Like the Pokétch application, the C-Gear is not located within the menu; the C-Gear is, when turned on, continually located on the touch screen of the DS. By default, it constantly searches for a local wireless access point to connect with other games, but it can be turned off. So far, two new features have been announced:
* ''Pass By Mode'' - If the C-Gear is on Lookout Mode, then it will automatically pick up signals from other players, allowing the player to monitor their progress in real time.
* ''Global Link'' - This allows the game to sync its save file to a website on the Internet where the player can access extra features and minigames.

===Player's name===
{{main|Trainer Card (game)|Trainer Card}}
[[File:Trainer card platinum.png|frame|A blue Trainer Card in Platinum]]
The ''Player's name'' command allows the player to display their Trainer Card. Several things are present on all Trainer Cards, including the Trainer's name, the [[Trainer ID number]], how much [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] the player has, number of Pokémon seen (number of Pokémon caught before {{gen|IV}}), which [[Badge]]s the player has earned, and the amount of time they have been playing their game. The Trainer Card also changes colors after meeting certain conditions, such as defeating the [[Elite Four]].

====Generation I====
The menu shows the player's name, how much money they are carrying, and how long they have been playing, as well as acquired badges and the faces of Gym Leaders whose badges have not yet been obtained.
====Generation II====
The menu now shows the player's [[ID number]], as well as the number of caught Pokémon.

Additionally, the lower part of the menu now has a back side where Badges are shown (which are now displayed with the Gym Leaders' faces, rather than replacing them).
====Generation III====
In [[Generation III]], a back side is fully implemented, where it displays such data as how many link battles a player has participated in, won, and lost; how many trades the player has taken part in; and how long they had been playing when they first defeated the [[Elite Four]] and [[Pokémon Champion]] to enter the [[Hall of Fame]]. The Gym Leaders' faces are no longer present.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a Trainer's party can be photographed in the [[Rocket Game Corner]] in [[Celadon City]] and put on the back as well. The back side also shows stickers.

====Generation IV====
The Badges can be found on the touch screen. They can be polished by touching the screen and will play musical notes depending on how clean they are, a feature absent in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. A signature strip was also added at the back for the player to write on with the DS stylus.

====Generation V====
Like in Generation IV, the Badges in [[Generation V]] can be cleaned. This function was removed in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]]. 

===Save===
{{main|Saving}}
[[File:Save Pokémon Platinum.png|thumb|Saving in Platinum]]
The ''Save'' command saves the player's current progress. The player can save the game at any time outside of battle. In Generation IV, the prompt may display "Saving a lot of data..." instead of just "Saving...". This occurs when the player accesses the [[Pokémon Storage System]] from a [[PC]] as well as the first time saving after loading a backup save file that was loaded due to a corrupted file. When the player selects "Continue" on the main menu, the player can continue playing the game from the last place saved.

[[File:Platinum options.png|frame|left|Options in Generation IV]]

===Options===
{{main|Options}}

The ''[[Options]]'' command allows the player to change various in-game features. The ''Options'' menu can also be accessed on the main menu.

===Exit===
{{main|Exit}}
The ''Exit'' command closes the menu and returns to the game. The player can also press the start button (or the X button in [[Generation IV]]) or the B button to close the menu.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], the menu screen would be darker than usual if the menu was opened in a cave or other place that was very dark and {{m|Flash}} had not yet been used.
* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, an entirely different menu format was introduced due to the vastly different style of gameplay.
* The first main series games to feature the menu on the touch screen are {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. The player is able to select different options by using the DS's touch screen capabilities, such as one-touch saving, accessing the [[Pokédex]], and accessing the [[Bag]]. All of the menu options utilize the touch screen in a total redesign from previous generations. Pressing the X button will allow control over this area to change from the stylus to the D-pad. However, because of the lack of an "exit" button on the touch screen, players must press the X button or B button to return to normal gameplay.

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{Bulbapedia|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --- [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 11:00, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

==Hold on!==
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the <code>User:</code> namespace to much for now. Please do not edit your page any more for now. Thank you. --- [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 11:07, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

==Stop.==
Do not edit the <code>User:</code> namespace any more. In the past, we were not allowed to edit our pages ''at all'' because of users over-editing their pages. If you edit your page any more without making some edits to the mainspace, then the privilege for you to edit it the userspace will be removed. --''[[User:Sher-e-Bengal|Sher]]-e-[[User_talk:Sher-e-Bengal|Bengal]]''- 11:49, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

==Hi there.==

I got your emails. That's fine if you use my coding, I mostly got it from other users' pages as well and it's pretty easy stuff. Just make sure to actually change it to say stuff about you so people don't think you're me (although I'm sure you're working on that). As for my friend code, it's 3909 4002 2610 (Diamond). Although I'm not sure if I can get on WiFi over the school's network, I'd certainly be willing to try (and I'll be back home in April, so I know I can get on then). So what's this competition thing you emailed me about? [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 21:00, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

== Okay. ==

So here's the deal, to put it simply. You edited your userpage sixteen times in the course of twenty hours. ''Not. Good.'' We prefer that you use the preview button (alt + shift + p) rather than making so many danged edits to it in such a short timespan (especially since you have a grand total of '''one edit''' to the mainspace as of right now). It's because you did not respond at all on your talk page to the warnings, and continued to edit your page despite this, that your userpage was locked. I've shortened its lock time from infinite (that's how long it is by default, and when you wanna stop someone from editing, it's faster just to do so).

So cool it, dude, lrn 2 wiki and lurk a bit around pages, checking the differences between revisions (that's the link titled (diff) on page histories) when established editors make them, to see what exactly we're improving and how you can help too. It's what I did, and I was a complete wiki noob before I came here.

Also, it's... not a good idea to spell the names of characters wrong. [[Blaine]] is Kanto's #7 Gym Leader. And when you sign, TILDES, MAN, TILDES. Just put <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your comments and it'll be automatic. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 07:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

:Editing? Anywhere. EVERYWHERE! 90% of Bulbapedia pages are editable. See where you can add information, we've got plenty of {{bp|stub}}s. But like I said. Lurk some. Learn how things work around here, though you seem to have an alright grasp on them. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 07:40, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

== Hey! ==

Please use {{bp|link templates}}. It's important. They make and easier edit such as <nowiki>{{type2|Fighting}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Fighting (type)]]</nowiki>. For a list of link templates, see {{bp|List of link templates|here}}. Also, please be aware of your grammar, as as capitalizing Fighting. And {{p|Blaziken}}, not Blazikane. Thank you. Have a nice editing there ^_^ '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 11:20, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

== Awards ==

Heya, Prongs. I looked at the pages and they are looking great. When you mean the awards, do you mean the [[Bulbapedia:Golden Bulbasaur Award|Golden Bulbasaur Awards]].--[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 11:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:Me. lol. No. The editorial board don't like to give out awards often, once a month. I think its just [[Bulbapedia:Golden Bulbasaur Award|these]] and you have to work really, really, really hard to get one. I always hope to get one. --[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 12:11, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Basically, you only get awards if you're one of the top contributors to the site in terms of effort and quality. The awards page has a pretty good summary of what needs to be done to earn each award. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 18:44, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

==Please...==
You've been making too many edits to the <code>User talk:</code> namespace lately. Please take your conversations to [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/ the forums], a chatroom, e-mail, an IM service, or something similar, as that many edits will slow down the server. --- [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 12:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I am not a cool or funny pineapple.

I mostly go through and correct any grammar/spelling errors I see. Yay.

Also if you want to contact me about non Wiki-related stuff (including Pokemon-related stuff, if it's not related to Bulbapedia it generally shouldn't be on my talk page), you probably ought to do so through these methods:

* '''Email and MSN: surfer_squid@hotmail.com''' I'm usually on MSN whenever I'm on my computer, which is often, so you'll have a pretty good chance of catching me on there. I check my email at least once daily, so no worries about not getting a reply for ages, either.
* '''YIM and AIM: surfer_squid@hotmail.com''' I rarely, rarely, '''very''' rarely use these, only if someone actually asks me to. So if for whatever reason, you want/need to talk to me on either of these services, let me know some other way.
* '''DeviantArt: http://misao-chan.deviantart.com''' I check DA at least once a day (usually several times a day, actually), so if you send me a note or comment on my page, you can be sure I'll get it within 24 hours.
* '''Gaia Online: Lucentas''' Same as DA. I'm such a nerd.

==WiFi Contact Info==
I'm always up for a WiFi trade or battle. My friend code is 3909 4002 2610 (I have Diamond, FYI.)

''Note: I'm at school until April, and I don't know if I'll be able to get on WiFi through the school's network, so I may not be able to access any WiFi activities until I get home.''

===Battling===
I do not take competitive battling seriously at all. I do not have an all-level-100 team with perfect movesets and items to match some crazy strategy I made up that will pwn you in five seconds. So if you want that kind of battling, move on, nothing more to see here. However, I do enjoy battling as a casual pastime and will be happy to battle you for fun. Although my core team is in their 60's-70's, I have other second-string Pokemon in their 30's-50's, so if you're not very far in the game and don't want your team ripped apart by my Hall of Famers, just let me know what level range you'd like to battle against.

Also, as I epically fail at battling strategy of any kind, please don't come to me with questions about teams, strategies, movesets, etc. (including rate-my-team kinda things). I'm sure there are plenty of other people on here that are awesome battle strategists that can help you with that sort of thing.

===Trading===
I'd be happy (positively tickled pink, even) to help you complete your Pokedex or get that one Pokemon you've been looking for by trading, either to evolve or for keeps. And before you ask, no, payment of any kind isn't necessary. I just like to help people.

I have indeed completed my National Pokedex, and as such have access to every breedable Pokemon, so if there's one you're looking for, please don't hesitate to let me know.

I also visit the Underground quite often, so I have very many Underground items, including:

:- Evolutionary stones (Fire, Thunder, Leaf, Water, Sun)
:- Heart Scales
:- Fossils (including Old Amber, everything except Armor and Root Fossils)
:- Lots more that would be a pain to list here

I have many, many of these, so feel free to ask for them, or ask me if I have/how much I have of anything that wasn't listed here.

===Voice Chat===
I won't be pushy about voice chat, I respect others' privacy as much as I'd like them to respect mine. If we do end up voice chatting, that's fine. However, please refrain from rude or vulgar language during our chat. I enjoy civilized conversation.

==My Life With Pokemon: The Biography of a Fandom==

===Generation I===
I first got into Pokemon when it first came out in the US and I started seeing ads for it in magazines and on TV. (Anyone remember that one where the kid is sucking up Pokemon with a vacuum cleaner? Pure genius.) At first I was a little apprehensive of it because I had also seen the news stories about the Electric Soldier Porygon incident (and of course if I expressed any interest in it I felt like my family would disown me or something). But then I happened to play Blue Version at a neighbor's house, and I was HOOKED. I was totally bummed when she moved away, but the depression was temporary, as I received a brand new Game Boy Color and a Blue Version of my own for my birthday shortly afterward. (I still have both, and they still work! I take good care of my vintage electronics.)

I had a blast with my new found obsession; my cousin was into Pokemon as well and he did cool stuff like trade me a Mew and show me the workings of the Missingno. glitch. We also got into the TCG (back when Jungle had just come out...I feel old now) and I got my hands on a few chapters of Electric Tale of Pikachu (back when Viz was still publishing them as separate chapters).

Also, someone (might have been my cousin again) tipped me off to the existence of a Pokemon cartoon, which I immediately set out trying to find on TV. The first episode I saw was A Chansey Operation in what was probably its original airing (again, I feel very old). Yes, I did see Mewtwo Strikes Back in the theatre, although The Power of One was relegated to a Christmas present (and to be honest, I haven't actually made a conscious effort to see any Pokemon movie since).

My cousin and I also joined our local Pokemon League at Toys 'R' Us. (The Gym Leader was this awesome, very funny guy whose favorite character was Brock--might any of you remember him?) I played a few variations on a Psychic deck before settling on a Psychic Haymaker with a side emphasis on Energy manipulation (of both my own and the opponent's Energy), using promo Mewtwos as my main attackers.

I also got an N64 just so I could buy Pokemon Snap when it came out (I think my parents spoiled me a lot when I was younger...). I also made a point of buying Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Puzzle League, and yes, even Hey You! Pikachu (although the neighbor's dog ate the mic, effectively ending my enjoyment of that game). Of course, I had plenty of other Pokemon merch up the wazoo (toys, clothes, bath towels, if it had Pokemon on it I just HAD to have it). Does anyone else remember the original Nintendo Power Red and Blue strategy guide with the Pokemon stickers in the back that you were supposed to stick on each Pokemon's 'Dex entry as you caught it? I think I just used them for decorating binders and stuff.

===Generation II===
Of course, it wasn't long until the first rumours of new Pokemon (and the games to go with them) came leaking from Japan through magazines like Beckett's and Pojo's. Naturally, I was intrigued by the concept of 100 all-new Pokemon. (To this day, my favorite Unown form is U because it's the first one I ever saw, in an issue of Beckett's where they leaked sprites of all of the Gen II Pokemon and Unown was represented by its U form; at that time most people weren't aware that Unown had different forms and I thought its U form was pretty much the most unusual design for a Pokemon-or for anything, for that matter-that I had ever seen.)

As more and more information came out as the games were released in Japan, I became more and more excited for them. My dad even got me an unofficial guide to the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver (and thus I became more familiar with the Japanese names of the towns, characters, and Pokemon than with their English equivalents, and to this day sometimes I can remember a Japanese Gen II name before I can recall the English one). He also somehow managed to find me a few Japanese Neo booster packs, and my pride and joy, a Japanese holographic Lugia card (Lugia being my favorite Gen II Pokemon--still is). In fact, for a while my League deck centered around my Lugia (having previously learned the translation of the attack text).

When Gold and Silver finally came out, there was much jubilation and rejoicing, and I spent many happy hours playing my copy of Silver and helping my sister with her Gold, as I finally got to explore the land I had previously read so much about. Crystal was just the icing on the cake (I still remember standing in line to buy it with my mom and our League's Gym Leader; he was talking about how enthused he was that Pokemon finally had a female protagonist because he thought girls needed more positive representations in video games).

It was also during this time that I stopped watching the show, both because the Johto season was boring, repetitive, and full of fillers, and because the timeslot moved and I just couldn't be bothered to find it again. Another big development during this era was the fact that I started drawing Pokemon and Pokemon characters, which led to my love of drawing in general. To this day, Gen II remains my favorite generation, both because of the innate quality the games exuded and because of my many happy memories during its time. (If only the games' save batteries hadn't run out...sigh...)

===Generation III===
Of course, that initial Pokemon craze faded, and with that and several other factors (including but not limited to high school and getting into anime in general), my Pokemon obsession subtly slipped into the background. It probably didn't help that my local League finally disbanded ('twas a sad, sad day), and I no longer attempted to catch up with the TCG around the time of the release of the first e-Reader cards (just didn't have the money any more...)

When I learned about the release of Ruby and Sapphire, I decided to try to avoid spoilers as much as possible until I could get the game--which actually ended up being detrimental to my experience because I was thrust into a world that I had no emotional connection to. Despite that, I did enjoy Sapphire, and made a point of getting FireRed and Emerald when they came out. I had plenty of fun with those games, but nowhere near the level of enjoyment I had when Pokemon was bigger.

===Generation IV===
I casually pursued my Pokemon interests during the DS's early days (buying Dash and Trozei, although I didn't get around to Ranger until after I had bought Diamond, because I wanted that Manaphy egg), but I didn't become genuinely interested in Diamond/Pearl until I began learning about their North American release, and I gradually became more intrigued by the games (especially the return of the day/night feature, something I missed from GSC). Since for some reason I decided I could blow some cash, I pre-ordered Diamond. (Funny story--I actually thought Palkia's design was cooler than Dialga's, but I couldn't remember which one was going to be on the cover of which, so when the guy asked me which version I wanted, I blurted out "Diamond", which turned out to be a better choice anyway because blue is my favorite color and I'm not too fond of pink! Of course, I love my Dialga.)

Although I still didn't have access to the same kind of social interaction as in the days of Gen II, Diamond was still an extremely fun game and I appreciated all of its developments and improvements on past games. Once I had beaten Cynthia, I decided on a new goal: completing my Pokedex. This was an easier task for me than most, due to the fact that I had every Gen III game except for Ruby (and, of course, the wonders of WiFi and the GameFAQs trade board), but it still took me a while (since I did have some semblance of a life).

I finally technically completed my National Dex in July 2008, and currently the only Pokemon I don't have registered in my Dex is Arceus (I'm waiting for it to be released/distributed here, I don't want to go the easy route and trade for a hacked one). As for my fandom outside of the games, it's pretty much nonexistent by now, although I do sketch the occasional comic. All of my old books and cards are currently sitting in my best friend's closet (although I hope she hasn't tossed them).

==My Current Lineup==
Here's my current list of Pokemon that I use for battling, both so you know what you're going up against if you choose to battle me (like I'm really all that hard to beat), and because, like any good crazy grandma, I just love showing off my babies. (Listed in National Dex Order.) Also note that, although these are divided up into "teams" of six Pokemon each, they in no way reflect their actual team organization (usually I just pick and choose according to what I need, or go in order of how they're placed in my box, which is random). Additionally, I was hopelessly obsessed with mecha anime during Gen III, which will hopefully explain the rather odd names for most of my Sapphire, FireRed, and Emerald Pokemon, although I will mention which series the name originated from.

* Schubert is my starter from FireRed, chosen in honor of the Squirtle I picked in my original Blue Version all those years ago. He was originally named after my boyfriend, but after we went our separate ways I renamed him with a random German name I thought sounded funny/awesome (before I Pal Parked him to Diamond, thankfully).
* Ryouma is also a FireRed veteran, named after a character from the Getter Robo anime series. He holds the distinction of being my first and only Pokemon to naturally catch the Pokerus, which I managed to spread to a few other Pokemon before he got over it (although they got over it too, before I could do something smart like infect ALL of my first-stringers). I call him Ryou for short.
* Gendou's name was another result of my mecha anime fandom during the time I played FireRed, being named after that insanely creepy dude from Neon Genesis Evangelion (no, there was no rhyme nor reason to why I gave the Pokemon the character names that I did, I just randomly picked names that were at least the same gender as the caught Pokemon). Obviously, as he knows Hypnosis, he's one of my main Pokemon-catching devices.
* For some reason I never got around to naming my Hitmonchan after I received it from the Dojo in FireRed; unfortunately, I Pal Parked him before I could give him a cool nickname. I picked him because of my desire to own a Hitmonchan that knew all of the elemental punches--this came to be more useful in Diamond, where the punches rely on his Attack rather than Sp. Attack.
* Basara was my Emerald starter, named after the crazy hippie lead guitarist for the band Fire Bomber in the obscure anime Macross 7. Coincidentally, three of my other Emerald Champion-beaters were named after the other three members of the band as well (more on them later). I chose Torchic in Emerald after witnessing the pure awesome that is Blaziken (although I still liek Mudkips).
* Bernie was my Sapphire starter; I didn't know much about the Hoenn starters or their evolutions, so I picked Mudkip because I thought it was the cutest (and to go along with my unofficial tradition of choosing the Water starter at least once per generation in honor of my Squirtle in Blue). Anyway, he's named after the tragic hero of the Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 OVA. As a throwback, I also chose Mudkip as my partner Pokemon in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and named him Bernie.

* Valcione is one of my Sapphire veterans, and quite possibly the first Sapphire Pokemon I caught (aside from Bernie the Mudkip, who was my starter). Due to her Thief, she's my main item harvester. She was named after an original mech from the Super Robot Wars video game series. (Interestingly, that's also the name of my Maple Story character that I don't actually play any more.)
* Mylene, one of my Emerald vets, was named after the pink-haired female singer from Fire Bomber, the fictional band starring in the anime Macross 7.
* Ray is another one of my Emerald vets, named after the free-spirited bassist of Fire Bomber. He's one of my main transportation devices.
* Veffida is the final member of my Emerald vets that was named after a member of Fire Bomber, her namesake being my favorite member, the stoic Zentradi drummer. I call her Veffi for short.
* Pal Parked from Sapphire, yes, Qui-Gon is named after the guy who died in Star Wars: Episode I. Why? Because he was awesome.
* Shinji is named after the main character from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I may have consciously named him this because the show is so inherently creepy, although he wasn't so creepy when he was a Shuppet. But even though he now looks like something out of a disturbed nightmare, he's still my Pokemon pal.

* Hariken is my Kyogre from Sapphire. I just named him after the romanization of the Japanese spelling of "hurricane". (Yes, even though he doesn't officially have a gender, I think of him as a male.)
* Quazar is the Rayquaza I caught from Sapphire (I never really bothered to catch any legendaries in Emerald, I was more interested in the Battle Frontier). I named him after astronomical quazars (being a huge science buff), and as a derivative of his species name.
* I got my Deoxys from the June 2008 GameStop giveaway (after finding out that the closest GameStop to me wasn't giving them away, I had to wait until next week to get one from another one--thankfully, I live in a town that has three GameStops; I guess living in the city has its perks). I keep him in his Speed form because I think it looks the coolest. Also, if he hadn't been traded into my game, I totally would have named him JENOVA (think about it, the qualities are eerily similar: alien life form, fell from space, virus-like entity...).
* Cephala is my Diamond starter (yes, I was lucky enough to get a female). Her name is a feminine derivative of the Greek "cephas", meaning stone.
* Menefr is my Luxray that I caught as a Shinx early on in my Diamond adventure. Her name is an ancient Egyptian name that I chose because she reminded me of one of my original characters also named Menefr, an anthro panther. I call her Mene for short.
* I caught Neptune early on in my game as well because I thought Shellos was cute, and when he evolved I thought he was even cooler because sea slugs are awesome. I named him after the Roman god of the sea because...well...he's a Water-type. It was obvious.

* I caught Mimzy as a Buneary in Eterna Forest--I obviously named her after the movie The Last Mimzy, which was in theatres at the time. I've never seen the movie, she just reminded me of it. And it was a cute name.
* I caught Xenos as a Bronzor in Wayward Cave because it looked unusual and cool. I still appreciate its cool design as a Bronzong. (And its cry sounds awesome.) I named it after the Greek prefix xeno-, indicating the unknown (as per its mysterious origins).
* Yay Lucario! Everybody loves Lucario. I got Ra as an egg from Riley and named him after the Egyptian sun god (pretty standard, but I wanted something that sounded powerful).
* I was lazy and just named Uxie its species name in lowercase (all-caps names irk me, and I thought their species names were pretty cool already). (I did the same thing to the other two legendary sprites.)
* After several failed attempts to catch Mesprit the NORMAL way, I just Master Balled it. I'm so impatient. I like Mesprit because of her INSANE Sp. Attack--she's easily taken out Poison-types in their 40's with just one Confusion. Genius.
* Azelf is blue. Yay.

* I caught Belopheron over the course of the storyline at Spear Pillar--ironically, before I actually got Diamond, I liked Palkia better, but when I inadvertently pre-ordered Diamond, forgetting which Pokemon was featured in which game, I ended up liking Dialga better (possibly because it's blue, and as I've previously established I'm a big fan of blue). His name is an alteration of the mythical Greek name Belpheron (this was an accident as I had forgotten how to pronounce/spell the name when I named him, but it ended up being cool after all). Additionally, his name was supposed to have two L's (Bellopheron), but I only had room for one. He was amazingly awesome to use in Pokemon Battle Revolution during my brief rental stint with it (not the least because it was so cool to see him tower over my avatar, hehe).
* I caught Sephiroth in Turnback Cave (which I somehow got through). Giratina is one of my favorite Pokemon simply by virtue of being so reviled by most Pokemon fans because of its "creepy" and "monstrous" appearance--I think he just needs a friend. I named him Sephiroth because I have a rather close connection with the so-named Final Fantasy VII character (it's a long story), who also just needed a friend. (Also, it was a legitimate excuse to squeal "Sephy!!!" when sending him into battle.) I call him Sephy or Seph for short (the same nicknames I give the real Sephiroth). Despite his imposing demeanor, he still manages to get Intimidated by level 6 Shinxes. Silly guy.
* After chasing after Lunatea for some time, I finally just gave in and Master Balled her (I love WiFi). I wanted a cool moon-based name for her, and I finally settled on a character from a Klonoa game that I've never played, but I remember the name after all this time.
* I got Darkrai from the Toys 'R' Us giveaway event in May. If he weren't traded in, I would have loved to have named him Sephiroth (due to his white "hair" and green eyes), but I ended up naming my Giratina after Seph anyway so it's all good.

Joe (EP009)

2008-12-18T20:18:55Z

Lucentas: Grammar.

'''Joe''' (Japanese: '''ジュン''' ''Jun'') is a young man who once attended a school located somewhere between [[Cerulean City]] and [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Joe.jpg|thumb|Joe of Pokémon Tech]]
Joe appeared as a [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. His Japanese voice actress is ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]'' and his English voice actress is [[Kayzie Rogers]].

{{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] were lost on a forest when they happened upon Joe, who was being quizzed on facts about {{p|Pidgey}} while being forced to run on a treadmill. Ash thought he was being bullied, so he chased the older children away. Joe explained that he was a student at {{g|Tech}}, a school that teaches students how to train Pokémon. Joe is on the bottom of the beginner class and the other kids were tutoring him before Ash showed up. Apparently, Joe actually knew everything about Pidgey and its evolutions, but was pretending to be ignorant so he wouldn't have to work harder. Ash demanded to know who was responsible for the "tutoring" program, and Joe showed him a picture of a pretty young girl named [[Giselle]]. It seemed that Joe had a crush on Giselle, despite her harsh treatment.

Joe took Ash and his friends to the campus and showed them around. He explained that graduates of the school are allowed to compete in the [[Pokémon League]] without having to challenge [[Gym Leader]]s or collect [[badge]]s. As a beginner, Joe had the skills of someone with about two badges. He felt obligated to remain at Pokémon Tech because his parents paid so much to get him in. Joe then demonstrated some of the tools the school offered, such as a Pokémon battle simulator that appeared to resemble the [[Pokémon games|Pokémon video games]]. Misty was annoyed by this, thinking that simulation can't make up for the real thing, and proved this by defeating Joe in a Pokémon battle, Joe using his Weepinbell and Misty using her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, despite the {{type2|Water}} disadvantage on her part versus a {{type2|Grass}}.

After witnessing [[Ash's Pikachu]] defeat Giselle's {{p|Cubone}}, Joe was finally convinced that he should leave Pokémon Tech, deciding to try to collect badges instead. He and Giselle bid farewell, promising to meet again some day.

==In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga==
He made one cameo appearance with [[Giselle]]. He's presumably traveling over [[Kanto]] with her.

==Trivia==
*Like Giselle, a trainer based on Joe appears in {{game|Yellow}}; a [[Picnicker|Junior Trainer]] with a Weepinbell is on Route 6, which, like Pokémon Tech in the Anime, is between Cerulean City and Vermilion City. He is seen talking to a [[Giselle|female Junior Trainer with a Cubone]].

Talk:Generation III

2008-12-18T18:40:33Z

Lucentas:

'''New environments can be explored: Underwater, Desert, Mountain and Jungle.''' - Jungle? Where is there jungle? Are you talking the really tall grass? I wouldn't call that jungle at all. And mountain is hardly anything new either. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 02:40, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that is what Route 119 area seems to be. I mean what else can it be? It rains all the time there too. It could also be a rain forest. And I meant climbing the mountain.

L_X

Indeed. I remember mountains in Gen I and Gen II - but you always had to go through them or under them. Gen III has quite a few that you can go over. Mt. Ember, Mt. Chimney, Pyre, etc. etc.

Mt. Moon and Mt. Silver - you had to tunnel under things.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmmm. Okay, I'll give you the mountains, but I still think it could do with a slight word-change. Although I still don't agree with the jungle part. It's just really tall grass, it's not a crazy thought you know. And I know Pokémon is often random with climate placement, but to just stick a rainforest there seems way too random for me. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 03:05, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Also, are Channel and Box not Generation III games? I know they don't really feature proper gameplay, but they are released during generation 3. And they have the right Pokémon.... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 03:07, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== Gen III ==

We decided only games that involved at least the basics of pokémon (ie, battling, trainers, etc) would be considered for generations. Games like Snap, Hey You Pikachu, Channel, etc are not considered in the Generations.

-Damian Silverblade

== New Pokemon ==

This article claims that 134 new pokemon were introduced, bringing the new total to 386. Now I'm sure there were 251 pokemon in Generation II, so surely this means there were 135 new pokemon?

== Change is 'style' ==

I'm not sure if anyone has openly stated this or discussed it. It just seems to be obvious to me and a couple of my friends that the Pokemon art styles and the way they look and feel has changed dramatically ever since Generation 3. The individual chracters seem to be in a different style. I am one of the people who are old enough to remember the good old days when there were just 150 Pokemon (latter, 151). Then Generation 2 was brought out and you adapted quickly to the new names and features. But Generation 3...I dunno, it just seemed to break a barrier and I'm pretty sure it's due to the new Pokemon 'style'. The art changed. The way things were done. Maybe they were just modernized. It's even more evident in Genration 4.
In fact, the differences between Generation 1 and later releases have turned one of my friends off the games. She'll only play Red, Blue (or FireRed and LeafGreen).
Maybe it's silly. Maybe if a Gen 4 Pokemon was taken back in time and released with Gen 1, I wouldn't have noticed the difference between it and the other 151.
Am I being stupid or did Gen 3 change things? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 15:52, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
: Yeah, it definitely did. I couldn't say definitively what, but I remember getting Generation II and it wasn't all that different from Generation I, but Generation III was just hugely different.[[User:Gastlys mama|Gastlys mama]] 17:49, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
::It may have something to do with the fact that Ken Sugimori isn't solely in charge of designing Pokemon any more. But I think this kind of thing is more suitable for discussing in the forums. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 18:40, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:Zerobubble.png|250px|thumb|Zero]]
(Japanese: '''ゼロ''' ''Zero'') is a character who appeared in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. His Japanese voice actor is 中村獅童 ''Shidō Nakamura''. He is the main antagonist who wishes to use {{an|Giratina}}'s power to travel freely between dimensions. He owns a robotic maid named [[Infi]] who controls his mothership, [[Megaliba]].

{{spoilers}}
Contrary to what trailers for the movie seemed to portray, Zero did not simply want to rule the [[Reverse World]]. He wanted to save it from all the pollution emptied into it by the Real World. He also wanted to use the Reverse World's properties to get revenge on the Real World.

He was once [[Mugen]]'s student in studying the Reverse World, but he became obsessed with Giratina's power and decided to capture it.

Talk:Legendary beasts

2008-12-16T22:53:29Z

Lucentas:

Some accounts I have heard simply state that Raikou, Entei and Suicune were, after their immolation, simply resurrected, not reincarnated. If that's the case, then they were Entei, Suicune and Raikou BEFORE the disaster, and so not CREATED by Ho-Oh - just related to him by the ordeal of these three individuals. I have no citation, so I did not add this to the article. [[User:SixthFlyingMan|SixthFlyingMan]] 09:28, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

:Meh, speculation is speculation. Can't do much with it. [[User:GlinnMgraw|Glinn]] [[User_talk:GlinnMgraw|Mgraw]] 15:09, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

== Dogs or Cats ==

I think that personally the beasts deserve to be called dogs more simple because each of them bears a resemblance to a dog, Suicune I think is the most because of his face and body shape. Raikou defeneatly has a canine body but a more cat looking face with it's teeth making him look like a saber tooth tiger. Entei looks about the most cat like I think it looks like a giant cat or lion kind of thing.

Calling them the legendary dogs is not really a correct term and is more of just an opinion. in my opinion, i like the idea of legendary cats better, but calling them the legendary beasts is more of a correct and collective term. Raikou in no way looks like a canine. Suicune has a lean canine body but has small cat feet, and Entei has a dog body but has a lion's face. So, legendary beasts is a better grouped term to call the trio considering that at least suicune and entei look part canine and part feline; as well as the fact that some people see more canine features in their anatomy while others see more feline features in their anatomy. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 23:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I know I was just wondering what everyone else thought, I think it is a good term for keeping the peace in pokemon. Something sorely needed since the whole voice change over thing. [[User:WolfMan of Light|De Wolfy is here]] 18:05, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
:"Beasts" is best, because there's just too much of a division amongst the fanbase as to which animal group they should be associated with, so it's best to keep it ambiguous. It's almost as bad as the Eeveelutions. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 18:10, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia point ==

I just read in the trivia that each legendary beast is the physical form of one of the three events that happened at Brass Tower when it was destroyed; Raikou was the lightning stike, Entei was the fire that started, and Suicune was the rain that put out the flames. Is this true? Has it ever been mentioned anywhere else? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 10:54, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Who calls them "the Legendary Gerbils?" Sounds more to me like something that only the person who edited that in called them...Anyone know for a fact that "some circles" call them that?

:I could be wrong but i think the term came from the fact that fans were split between calling them the legendary dogs or the legendary cats. i guess some people thought, jokingly of course, that they might as well be called legendary gerbils because dogs, cats, and gerbils are all furry but there really isn't an opposite animal to gerbils. but again, it's just a term that was created from humor. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 22:45, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Professor Oak's Laboratory

2008-12-16T05:11:30Z

Lucentas: This puppy needed some major cleanup. And never, ever start a serious sentence with "also".

[[image:Oaks_Lab_-_Full_view.jpg|frame|Entrance of Oak's Laboratory]]‎
The famous '''Professor Oak's Laboratory''', also called the '''Oak Pokémon Research Laboratory''', is a [[Pokémon]] lab located in [[Pallet Town]] that is directed by [[Professor Oak|Professor Samuel Oak]] and his assistant [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Its functions are to research Pokémon, unravel the mysteries of these creatures, and study their characteristics and behaviour in a natural environment. Another important job is to take care of the Pokémon that belong to [[Pallet Town]]'s [[Pokémon Trainer|trainers]].

The lab has many different environments for the correct development of all types of Pokémon. They are areas of grass, sand, rocks and lakes to promote good interaction between the different [[elemental types|types]] of creatures. The laboratory has the technology to keep Pokémon healthy, and to make the largest scientific investigations in the country.

==In the games==
Professor Oak's Laboratory appears in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In [[Generation I]], it is where Oak gives the {{player}} their [[starter Pokémon]] and a [[Pokédex]].

The lab is a small building near the player's house that has been slightly modified in every game.

* [[Pokémon Red and Blue]]: The sign says "''Here is the Institute of Dr. Okido.''" in Japanese and "''Oak Pokémon Research Lab''" in the English language versions. Inside are three of Professor Oak's aides, two men and one woman, a couple of shelves full of books, a table with three [[Poké Ball]]s, a computer, two blank [[Pokédex]]es, and two tips for the player.
* [[Pokémon Yellow]]: Same as Red and Blue, except there is only one Poké Ball on the table, and next to it is a trash can.
* [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]: Same as Red and Blue (with significant graphical enhancements), but also has two plants in the entrance, a ''mysterious machine'', books on the floor, and two regular machines in the corner, and a window.

Image:Pokémon_Red_Advanced.png|Red and Blue (E) and Blue (J)
Image:Pokémon_Yellow.png|Yellow
Image:Pokémon_Fire_Red.png|FireRed and LeafGreen
</gallery>

Professor Oak's Laboratory also appears in [[Pokémon Snap]], shown as the background of the main menu of the game. [[Todd Snap]] reports back here regularly to show his photos to Professor Oak. Presumably, the professor keeps information like the [[Pokémon Report (Pokémon Snap)|Pokémon Report]], [[Pokémon Album]], and all information on [[Pokémon sign]]s in his laboratory. It appears the same way in this game that it does in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

==In the anime==
The laboratory debuted in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', when {{Ash}} received his {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}. Since then, it has been a location in a few episodes, mostly in the start and ending of a [[region]] adventure, but also in [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and in the [[Pokémon movie|movies]]. The building stands out in [[Pallet Town]] for its wind turbine, the three windows of the inner balcony and for the four windows of the second floor. Every time Ash captures a Pokémon when he has six already [[party|with him]], the new Pokémon is automatically transported here. Ash also has a habit of leaving all of his Pokémon besides Pikachu here each time he leaves for a new [[region]], starting with [[Hoenn]].

===Structure===
====Infrastructure====
[[image:Oaks_Lab_-_Lobby.jpg‎|frame|Ash and friends talking in the Lobby]]
[[image:Oak's_Lab_-_Poke_ball_store.jpg‎|frame|[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] find the storage room.]]
The lab is composed of two floors. Inside the entrance door is a hallway with several doors, and to the left is a chest of drawers and the upstairs.

* The living room is a space to talk, eat, relax and presumably study. On a pink carpet (sometimes shown as green) are two couches and a table. To the side are a computer and bookshelves. This is where many scenes in the lab take place.

* There are two science rooms full of various machines.

* The [[Poké Ball]] Storage Room stores the extra Pokémon of every Trainer born in [[Pallet Town]]. This treasure of hundreds of Pokémon has been the target of attempted robberies by [[Team Rocket]].

* The library is composed of two rooms. One is a study room with a large bookshelf and a pair of windows. The other, in the back, is a storage room full of books, including Oak's old sketchbook.

[[Image:Oaks_Lab_-_1Floor_-_Biblio.jpg|frame|left|The study room of Professor Oak]]
{{-}}
* Upstairs is the research floor. Here are all the technological pieces, the heart of the laboratory. It includes several machines used for Pokémon testing and a table with various chemicals on it. Nearby is a blue chair. In front of it are the status screen, which shows the health and power of a Pokémon, and Professor Oak's computer, where he records his research. This computer doubles as a videophone, which he uses to communicate with others professors or Trainers. Aside the computer is the [[Poké Ball]] Transfer, for the transportation of Pokémon to their Trainers in a [[Pokémon Center]]. The room also includes a bookshelf, a desk with a lamp, a brown couch, and a drawing board. A few machines are connected to a glass container full of water, possibly to study aquatic Pokémon. Hanging from the ceiling is a large lamp.

The stairs lead up to an inner balcony, which has a door and the three large windows seen in most outside views of the lab.

====Superstructure====
[[image:Oaks_Lab_-_Corral.jpg|frame|A small view to the Oak Corral]]
The Oak Corral is a natural environment for Pokémon development. It is divided into regions according to type; there are areas that are perfect for {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, desert areas for {{t|Ground}} and {{type2|Fire}}s, grassy regions, and several lakes. Sometimes the Pokémon don't get along; for this reason, some Pokémon, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], act as mediators between quarreling Pokémon.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[image:Oaks_Lab_-_Manga.jpg‎|frame|Red in Oak's laboratory]]
In his search to be the best Trainer, {{Special|Red}} goes to see [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', but the laboratory, a one-floor building with a sign, was deserted and the door was open; Red entered anyway. The first view of the inside of the lab was seen in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', and was shown to have machines, tables, bookshelves, a glass container full of water and a [[Poké Ball]] storage area.

Gender

2008-12-16T04:09:10Z

Lucentas: There were female Trainers in RBYGS...just not female player characters.

'''Gender''' is a feature released in [[Generation II]], first for the Pokémon themselves, and then, in {{game|Crystal}}, for the [[player character]]s. This feature allowed for {{g|breeding}}, as well as introduced the concept of a {{g|egg}} to the series. Gender makes no difference in the stats of a Pokémon after Generation II, unless the two Pokémon are a different species entirely, such as Nidoran.

==Pokémon==
Gender also allowed for many Pokémon to have unofficial male and female counterparts, as demonstrated below.

===Gender differences===
[[Generation IV]] premiered minimal [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|differences in sprite]] between two Pokémon of the same species. For example, a male {{p|Raichu}} will have the full tail seen in previous games, while the female is missing the very tip of it.

===Gender-based evolution===
Some Pokémon [[evolution]]s can only be obtained if they are of a certain gender:
* Female {{p|Combee}} evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}} at level 21. Male Combee never evolve.
* At level 20, female {{p|Burmy}} will evolve into {{p|Wormadam}} and male Burmy evolve into {{p|Mothim}}.
* Only male {{p|Kirlia}} can evolve into {{p|Gallade}}.
* Only female {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve into {{p|Froslass}}.

===Single-gender Pokémon===
Several Pokémon are also only of one gender, yet do not have an official ''or'' unofficial counterpart of the other. Most of the single-gender Pokémon with no counterpart are female, and only six evolution families total (five of which are female-only) are of this type.

==Trainers==
In {{g|Crystal}}, {{player}}s were given the option of choosing their trainer's gender at the start of the game. Since then, every game in the main series has had that choice.

==Trivia==
*Due to the programming in the [[Generation II]] games, female Pokémon can never have a maximized Attack stat unless they are a female-only species such as {{p|Miltank}}; this is because female Pokémon cannot have {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual values|IVs]] greater than or equal to a value based on their gender ratio. Female-only species have a 100%, or sixteen-out-of-sixteen, chance to be female, so their Attack IV can be anywhere in the 0-15 range, which is sixteen values. Pokémon who have a 12.5% chance to be female, such as [[starter Pokémon]], only have a two-out-of-sixteen chance to be female, which means that they can only have a zero or one Attack IV. Because the majority of Pokémon species have a 50/50 gender ratio, a typical female Pokémon cannot have an Attack IV greater than seven (corresponding to the 0-7 IV range). In later generations, female Pokémon do not have these restrictions.

Someone with better ears for Japanese than I told me that it sounds like Brock has an accent in the Japanese, one which causes his R to sound more like an L than for other characters. This song in particular seems to show that; he pronounces the "ra" like a perfect "la", rather than making it sound like something out of that Christmas movie. Still, though, can anyone confirm this? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 20:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

'''Tabitha''' (Japanese: '''ホムラ''' ''Homura'') is one of the [[Magma Admin]]s of [[Team Magma]].

==In the games==
Tabitha is a Team Magma admin in the [[Generation III]] games.

In {{game|Sapphire}} he makes only two cameos, at [[Meteor Falls]] and at [[Seafloor Cavern]], alongside [[Maxie]] and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]].

In {{game|Ruby}} the [[player]] confronts him twice: the first time he brings to Maxie the [[Meteorite]] stolen at Meteor Falls and the player has to battle him before battling Maxie. Later he assists the [[Magma Leader]] in stealing the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] and then he must be battled at [[Aqua Hideout|Magma Hideout]].

In {{game|Emerald}} he is first met at [[Mt. Chimney]], doing the same task as in Ruby. Tabitha reappears later in the game in the [[Magma Hideout|new hideout inside the volcano]], before Maxie awakens {{p|Groudon}}. Later, he assists the Magma leader in a tag battle at [[Mossdeep Space Center]] against the player and [[Steven]].

===Pokémon===
In the games he has appeared in, Tabitha battles with the following Pokémon:

====Pokémon Ruby====

=====First battle=====
The first time Tabitha is battled is on the crater of Mt. Chimney, after a [[Team Magma Grunt|Magma grunt]] and before Magma Leader Maxie.

==In the anime==
Tabitha appeared in several episodes of the {{g|anime}}. His Japanese voice actor is 風間勇刀 ''Yuto Kazama'', and his English voice actor is [[John Campbell]].

Due to a dubbing error, Tabitha was referred to as 'Field Commander Harland' in his first appearance in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]''. This is also true for his second appearance in ''[[AG036|The Spheal Of Approval]]''. In his next appearance in ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite]]'', the error was corrected.

His appearance in the anime is very different from the manga.

===Pokémon===
The following are Tabitha's Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

===Appearances===
*''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]''
*''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]''
*''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite]]''
*''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''
*''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Tabitha.PNG|right|frame|Tabitha]]
In the {{g|Special}} manga, Tabitha is one of the [[FireHeads]], Admins of Team Magma - along with [[Magma Admin|Courtney]] and [[Mack]].

Like all of the FireHeads, Tabitha has a special lighter that can transmit and record images by burning them on paper.

Tabitha's specialty is direct using his Torkoal's smoke to hypnotize and poison.

{{Special|Ruby}} and {{Special|Sapphire}} were traveling along {{rt|107}} when they encountered Courtney and Tabitha. The two Magma Admins were trying to steal a deep sea scanner from the wreckage of the [[Abandoned Ship]].

Later, Team Aqua used the meteorite to cause Mt. Chimney to cease its activity. Sapphire and Flannery tried to prevent this but failed. Tabitha and Flannery cooperated to destroy Team Aqua's machine, but they were unable to re-start the volcano. However, this incident would later cause Flannery to side with Team Magma when the Gym Leaders of Hoenn wanted to choose sides.

When [[Maxie]] attempted to control both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} through the Red and Blue Orbs, he discovered that it would be too much for his mental capacities to handle. Therefore he handed the Blue Orb to Tabitha, telling him to suppress Kyogre's will of battling. However, one of the [[SSS|Aqua Admins]], [[Sean]], managed to get the orb to [[Archie]].

But this event left a residue effect on Tabitha, as [[Wallace]] found out during their battle in the Lilycove Department Store. Even though Tabitha had only touched the orb for a short period, Kyogre's influence still managed to slip through since he did attempt to control the sea titan. [[Steven]] managed to knock him out with his {{p|Metagross}} when he attacked Wallace wildly. He, along with most other Team Magma and Aqua members, appears to have disappeared after the Groudon and Kyogre incident, though Flannery has seen him in a crowd in [[Lavaridge Town]] once.

===Pokémon===
The following are Tabitha's Pokémon in the Pokémon Special manga.

==Trivia==
* When he first appeared on the show, he was given the English name of Harlan. In later appearances, this was changed back to Tabitha for consistency with the games. However, some fans will still refer to him as Harlan, citing their dislike of the name Tabitha, it being an exclusively feminine name.[http://www.behindthename.com/name/tabitha]

Gary's cheerleaders

2008-12-16T02:40:37Z

Lucentas: Rewording for...betterness.

[[Image:Gary_cheerleaders.jpg|thumb|right|210px|Gary's cheerleaders during the [[Silver Conference]].]]
'''Gary's cheerleaders''' (Japanese: '''シゲル応援ギャル''' ''Shigeru's cheering gals'') are a group of girls that follow around [[Gary Oak]] on his [[Pokémon]] journey. Their main purpose is to cheer Gary on, much like real-life [[wp:cheerleading|cheerleaders]] at sporting events. In the original Japanese, they are played by 大谷育江 ''[[Ikue Ohtani]]'', 飯塚雅弓 ''[[Mayumi Iizuka]]'', and others. They are all played by [[Veronica Taylor]] in the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub.

They made their debut in [[EP001|the first episode]]. They were seen outside [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] cheering for Gary as he received [[Gary's Blastoise|his starter]]. Their motto is "Gary, Gary, he's our man. If he can't do it, no one can! Go~ Gary!~♥".

His cheerleaders support Gary very much, and they are deeply hurt when he loses one of his {{pkmn|battle}}s. The girls burst into tears whenever Gary loses a match as seen in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]''.

The cheerleaders then disappeared for most of the [[Johto League]]. They finally reappeared in ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'' to cheer Gary on during his battle against {{Ash}} during the [[Silver Conference]]. Unlike the previous battles, they did not start crying when Gary lost to Ash. Gary appeared to finally get rid of them when he decided to become a [[Pokémon researcher]] like his [[Professor Oak|grandfather]].

They have also had appearances in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]''.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' one of the cheerleaders wore a bathing suit very similar to the one {{an|May}} wore in ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]''. Both of these episodes were the first times the resident main characters were seen in swimwear, aside from Ash and Brock in the later.
* One of the cheerleaders are one of two likely candidates who won the "Swimsuit Beauty Pageant", the other being Misty.
* In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon!]]'' when {{an|Jigglypuff}} wrote on the cheeleader's faces, the alphabet was used. However, the letters on their faces went in this order: ABCDFE, instead of ABCDEF.

NO, look @ the LEFT Side. That head can't b Jigglypuff's!--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 22:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

:Kuki, if a guy with a tape says it's Jiggly, than it's Jiggly. Surely he didn't just MISS the left one. It definitely looks like Jiggly to me. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 22:49, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

The pink @ the right is Jiggly--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 22:49, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

:I know. They both are. This argument is silly. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 22:51, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Pause it. Look @ the head ahapre of the left pink Poké. Get bak to me--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 22:53, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah... I forgot to specify specifically where it was. Like Kuki said, it's on the left of the screen, RIGHT next to the Venusaur. [[User:Rodyn|Rodyn]] 22:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
::Ugh. When you say low-quality, you ''mean'' low-quality.

:An easter egg, I'm assuming. [[User:Rodyn|Rodyn]] 23:15, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

::I ''know'' which one you meant, Rodyn. It's still a Jiggly. Not a Mew. They both are. I'm repeating myself here. And Kuki, don't change other people's comments, even if they're badly worded. This isn't the first time you're doing this. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 23:16, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm pretty sure they're talking about the thing I think is Cubone, man.
:::By the way, I assume you're talking about what happens around 8:10 in that video (so nobody else has to watch the whole frakkin' thing to find it)? And I'd also like to add that there are two of the Cubone/Mew thing; one on the left near Venasaur, and one on the right near Parasect, nearly hidden by the edge of the cliff. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 23:18, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Ah, yeah, now that I've looked at it for about 5 minutes straight, I can see the round shape to it. Definitely a Jigglypuff. And here I thought I found some hidden easter egg that almost no one discovered... [[User:Rodyn|Rodyn]] 23:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

But what about the Cubone/Mew?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 23:34, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:That's what I'm referring to. And I tossed out a lot of my movies, Pokémon ones included, a few months ago to clear space. So it's unlikely I'll be able to get to double-check first-hand. [[User:Rodyn|Rodyn]] 23:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Its CUBONE! I just re-watched it on tape and paused it to look closeley. You can see it's little eye holes. sorry, it did look like Jiggly to me at first.. so CUBONE! [[User:Mooites|Mooites]] 02:02, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
:It is cubone.You can see the Skull and the eye holes[[User:Darth Cookie Monster|DCM]]
Itdefinitly isn't Mew. It is either Cubone or Jigglypuff. More likely Cubone, as it can't swim nor fly, unlike the other two.[[User:Nintendofan146B|Nintendofan146B]] 20:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

== ''Charizard'' ==

So, apparently it aired just before Charizard Chills. I don't remember Charizard being disobediant in the movie. Does this mean that Charizard cared more about the fate of the world than it cared about Ash (at least at the time), so it was willing to get off its lazy *** and help Ash get to Ice Island; or does it mean that they pulled a Mewtwo's Counterattack in Japan again - releasing the movie before where it actually belongs? For those who don't know what I mean, in Japan, Mewtwo Strikes Back was released prior to all the Mewtwo Cameos in the anime. Thus the link-ins with the Movie, scenes that we all saw before the movie came out, such as Gary losing to Mewtwo or Mewtwo destroying the Rocket HQ near Pallet Town, actually appeared in Japan after they appeared in the movie, thus pointing out that the movie's events happened at a later time than at the release episode in Japan.

What does this mean towards Revelation Lugia? Did the Japanese version spoil Charizard's obedience to Ash as seen in Charizard Chills, or was this simply a case of Charizard deciding that he's not apathetic enough to allow the world to die while he sleeps (hey, if Team Rocket was ready to help the Twerp, than I guess Charizard could too, if it meant he could sleep in a still existing world). What do you think? [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 04:11, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

That makes since to me. [[User:Ayla|Ayla]] 21:07, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

::''"...a case of Charizard deciding that he's not apathetic enough to allow the world to die while he sleeps (hey, if Team Rocket was ready to help the Twerp, than I guess Charizard could too, if it meant he could sleep in a still existing world)."''
That. [[User:Ayla|Ayla]] 00:38, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, it does make sense. I would tend to support that opinion, considering that Mewtwo Strikes Back is seemingly the only Movie released prior to its placing in the anime, and this is the only possible reference to it being after ''Charizard Chills''. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 05:29, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] and [[User:Ayla|Ayla]] here's why:

Point 1:
If you watch during the intro the trio decides to release their Pokemon for some fresh air before they reach their destination. This was ultimately a plot device to allow them to showcase the Pokemon, yet if you watch closely, when Ash releases Charizard he shoots a flame in all directions and Ash and Misty both freak out right before Ash recalls Charizard. This is a familiar scenario played out over and over again throughout the Anime prior to Charizard Chills. Frequently Ash would call Charizard, he would immediately shoot a flame thrower (often at Ash) then Ash would think twice and recall him.

Point 2:
Charizard has shown that he would do things that benefit Ash, if Charizard wants to. The most obvious example being defeating Magmar and enabling Ash to win the Volcano badge for the Indigo League. On top of that, as has been noted, all of the Pokemon were converging to try and help stop the world catastrophe if they could. I believe it is clear that it is for this reason that Charizard seems more helpful then would be expected prior to Charizard Chills.

Point 3:
I could be wrong on this one, but I'm pretty sure that Ash never once commands Charizard to do anything (at least not on screen). There are two points where Charizard preforms a helpful act:
1) Charizard is released simultaneously with Squirtle and Bulbasaur. All 3 of them (plus Pikachu) try to break Moltres free, but Ash never actually asked any of them to do anything but to "go".
2) The second act is pulling Ash's sleigh, where once again no command was given. Ash looks at the wrecked boat, then suddenly they are already moving quickly. Obviously Charizard must have been cooperative or Ash would have never gotten a rope tied around him, but still we never directly see him "obeying Ash" which is what Charizard never once did prior to Charizard Chills.

Based on these 3 points there is no doubt in my mind that this move takes place prior to Charizard Chills and since it was released between the episodes Bound For Trouble and Charizard Chills that this should be it's place in the time line. ~[[User:Dinner4JC|Dinner4JC]] 13:30, 03 November 2008 (UTC)

==Corsola==

Hello, I think I saw a Corsola in this movie. During the segment involving "The Guardian's Song", there is a part where all the Pokemon are swimming under the Beast of the Sea, and I thought I saw a Corsola on the Gyrados' head, can anyone clarify it for me? - [[Robbie Newton]]
:Post your talk sections at the bottom of the list. Also, timestamp your posts with the four tildes (~), rather than just putting your username. That said, I highly doubt that Corsola was in the movie, and you probably had a similar moment to where I ''thought'' I saw Delibird in ''Holiday Hi-Jinx.'' It's easy to mistake watching back at old movies and episodes after you've seen the new Pokémon, because your may mind associate the new Pokémon in the same grouping as the old. That said, GenII Pokémon did start showing in the VERY FIRST EPISODE, so it is POSSIBLE, though IMPROBABLE, that you saw right. Good luck on the confirmation. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 04:20, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Route 104''' is a north-south route located in west [[Hoenn]]. Its northern terminus is at the southern limits of [[Rustboro City]]. The southern extent of the route is actually located at {{rt|105}}, a [[water route]], but the southern terminus of the main path is at the western edge of [[Petalburg City]].

The route is divided into two halves by [[Petalburg Woods]], the Hoenn equivalent of [[Kanto]]'s [[Viridian Forest]] and [[Johto]]'s [[Ilex Forest]].

Route 104 is also home to [[Mr. Briney]] and his pet {{p|Wingull}}, [[Peeko]]. His seaside cottage and boat service to [[Dewford Town]] and [[Slateport City]] is an essential necessity for the main character until {{m|Surf}} can be used.

==Route description==
Traveling south from Rustboro, the beaten path of the route swerves to the east for a short distance before turning south toward a bridge traversing a pond. On the north side of the pond, there is a patch of [[loamy soil]] that sprouts {{b2|Cheri}} and {{b|Leppa}} trees, with space for another. Near the patch, an old woman gives out a {{b|Chesto}} and reminds trainers of the regenerating ability of Berries. Also, to the west of the patch, a [[Fisherman]] is standing by the shore of the pond waiting for a battle.

On the bridge, which runs south for half the length of the pond, turns east, then returns south and connects with the opposite bank, the first set of [[double battle]] trainers that one encounters in Hoenn, [[Twins]] Gina and Mia, await to challenge any trainers that cross their path.

Directly east of the bridge is the [[Pretty Petal Flower Shop]]. In this shop, there are [[plants]] available for purchase. These plants are for decorating the interior of a [[secret base]]. Also, the {{DL|List_of_key_items_in_Generation_III|Wailmer Pail}} can be obtained by speaking to the owner of the shop.

The path resumes, going south off the bridge then turning west; here [[Lass]] Haley stands waiting for trainers. To her east is a {{m|Cut}}-able tree that blocks the way to a [[Dire Hit]][[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]] or an [[X Accuracy]][[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]]. Down the path west of Haley, is another trainer eager for battle, [[Lady]] Cindy[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]] or [[Rich Boy]] Winston[[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]]. Continuing past a [[List_of_trainer_tips|Trainer Tip]], the pathway reaches a junction. To the south is the entrance to Petalburg Woods. To the northwest is the [[Pretty Petal Flower Shop]], another loamy patch containing [[Oran Berry|Oran]] and Cheri Berries, as well as a guy who carries {{TM|09|Bullet Seed}}. Farther north, behind the flower shop, lies a sporadic patch of grass with [[wild Pokémon]]. A [[Potion]] and [[Super Potion]] can be found hidden in bare spots.

Two openings emerge from the south end of Petalburg Woods. The west opening, which is the main entrance and exit, comes out to a path where either Rich Boy Winston[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]] or Lady Cindy[[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]] is standing. The pathway, shrouded by grass here, turns east for a lengthy distance until it reaches a loamy soil patch where Oran and {{b2|Pecha}} Berries are growing, and the path promptly turns and continues south. The eastern opening leads to a ledge which runs parallel to the pathway at this point. A [[Poké Ball]] can be found near the edge of this ledge.

The pathway keeps south, past the cottage of Mr. Briney, then ends as it approaches a large patch of grass. Past the grass the path picks up again, going southeast shortly and finally meets the west entrance to Petalburg City. Two sets of steps, one southwest of the entrance, the other just outside Mr. Briney's cottage, lead down to a beach marking the southwest edge of the land, and the route takes to sea, down {{rt|105}}, and south towards Dewford. On the beach itself [[Youngster]] Billy walks around repeatedly in a square, looking for a battle. Several hidden items can also be found scattered around. The beach provides a convenient bypass to going through the grass patch.

In the game, following the early storyline, the main character is forced to take Route 104 the other way round first, traversing from Petalburg up through the Woods towards Rustboro, since the water passage blocks the way on {{rt|103}}.

'''Ecruteak City''' ('''エンジュシティ''' ''Enju City'') is located in northern [[Johto]], northeast of [[National Park]], northwest of [[Violet City]], and west of [[Mt. Mortar]], and is surrounded by wooded terrain.

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Ecruteak City in order to win the [[Badge#Fog Badge|Fog Badge]] from [[Morty]], the Ecruteak [[Gym Leader]] who specializes in {{t|Ghost}}-type [[Pokémon]].

Ecruteak is known as "A Historical City Where the Past Meets the Present", a fitting title, reflected in its buildings' traditional Japanese architecture. It has a role in many legends, such as those of {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

In the [[Generation II]] games, it is mentioned that in ancient times, Ho-Oh and Lugia lived in two grand towers. But when one of them burned down, becoming what is known today as the [[Brass Tower|Burned Tower]], both flew away, never to be seen again in Ecruteak.

In the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], Morty tells Ash and company of how in ancient times, Ho-Oh lived in a great tower in Ecruteak. But when war struck and the tower was burned down, it created Raikou, Entei, and Suicune from creatures who had perished in the fire, and all four disappeared. Later, a new tower, [[Tin Tower]], was built, but Ho-Oh never returned.
==Places of interest==
===Kimono Dance Theater===
The Kimono Dance Theater is where the [[Kimono Girl]]s dance and battle. The director will give the player the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}} after defeating the Kimono Girls. Each of the five Kimono Girl has an evolution of {{p|Eevee}}: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, and {{p|Umbreon}}.
===Burned Tower===
{{main|Brass Tower}}
The Brass Tower, with gleaming [[Pokémon Silver Version|silver-colored]] panels, was, according to legend, the perch of {{p|Lugia}}. Once as majestic as the [[Pokémon Gold Version|gold-colored]] Tin Tower, the Brass Tower was burned to the ground after a mysterious fire. This chased the two [[legendary Pokémon]] away, but not before Ho-Oh gave new life to three Pokémon killed when the tower was destroyed: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. {{p|Lugia}} left its home of the Brass Tower to live forevermore in the depths of the [[Whirl Islands]], while Ho-Oh began to fly around the world, searching and waiting for a day when it would find a trainer with a pure heart.

In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]] and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], the player encounters {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, who then flee, for the first time in the burned-out remains of the Brass Tower. This is also where [[Silver (game)|the player's rival]] will challenge him or her once again, with the second form of the [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] he stole.

===Tin Tower===
{{main|Tin Tower}}
The Tin Tower is a location in [[Johto]]. In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], the trainer finally comes to the Tin Tower, holding the [[Rainbow Wing]]. At this point, the player will be allowed to ascend the remaining eight levels of the tower, up to the roof, where Ho-Oh itself waits. However, in [[Pokémon Crystal]], players with a [[Clear Bell]] will be able to capture {{p|Suicune}} here, and only after catching each of the [[legendary beasts]], will a trainer be able to ascend the steps above the first floor to get to Ho-Oh.

==Trivia==
*Route 230 bears numerous similarities to [[Route 130]] in [[Hoenn]]; Both routes have numbers that end in 30, they are both east-west sea routes, with no north or south exits, and both contain an island with grass, stairs, and a place to plant [[berries]]. This island is also the only place to encounter a certain [[baby Pokémon]] in the wild ({{p|Wynaut}} on [[Route 130]], {{p|Togepi}} on Route 230). However, in [[Route 130]]'s case, [[Mirage Island]] isn't always there.

'''Onix''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イワーク''' ''Iwark'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Steelix}} by [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a [[Type-enhancing item#Metal Coat|Metal Coat]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Onix basically resembles a giant chain of gray boulders. The Pokémon has a magnet in its brain that serves as an internal compass. Onix's body becomes more rounded and smoother as it grows with age.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It tunnels under the ground at over fifty miles per hour. Its {{a2|Rock Head|hard head}} and {{a2|Sturdy|sturdy body}} are the only thing that protects Onix from the tremors it causes.

===Behavior===
They are very hot headed Pokémon and will constantly attack humans and Pokémon when various objects are caught in its cragged body in the wild, but under the care of trainers they will show signs of distress instead of attacking others.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
Onix can be found in mountains and caves, though they prefer underground tunnels with little light. It can also be found cragged mountains and abandoned mines.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Brock'sOnix_Bind.gif|right|thumb|220px|[[Brock's Onix]].]]
Onix first appeared in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' under the [[Brock's Onix|ownership]] of [[Brock]]. He used it in his journeys in Kanto and Johto before giving it to his little brother, [[Forrest]], in ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together]]''. At some time before ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'' it evolved into a {{p|Steelix}}.

{{Ash}} and co. encountered a [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] {{TP|Bruno|Onix}} in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected]]''. It was on a rampage until [[Bruno]] managed to get a {{p|Sandslash}} from under the Rock Snake Pokémon's "skin." Bruno captured the Onix afterward.

''[[EP087|The Crystal Onix]]'' featured a [[Crystal Onix]]. Ash and co. helped a glass sculptor named [[Mateo]] search for it because Mateo believed it would help inspire him to be better at his craft.

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', [[Drake (Orange League)|Drake]] of the Orange Crew owns an Onix and he used it to fight [[Ash's Squirtle]] in the second round in the Orange League Champion match. During the battle with Squirtle, Drake's Onix dug underground and emerged to use {{m|Bind}} on Squirtle, but Squirtle used {{m|Withdraw}} followed by a {{m|Hydro Pump}}, soaking Drake's Onix into submission. After drenching Drake's Onix, Squirtle defeated the Onix with a {{m|Skull Bash}}.

[[Janina]], [[Jasmine]]'s apprentice, has an Onix in the episode [[EP208|''Fight for the Light'']]. Her Onix was heavily coated in wax for protection against {{t|Water}} attacks.

A "King Onix" was featured in ''[[AG137|Hooked on Onix]]''. [[Team Rocket]] tricked King Onix into thinking Ash and co. were going to destroy his kingdom. When Ash managed to convince King Onix that he and his friends weren't bad by defeating it in a battle, Team Rocket tried to steal the royal Rock Snake Pokémon, but their plan was foiled, as usual.

[[Roark]]'s Onix was first seen in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'' where it was used against [[Paul]]'s {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} and {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}. In ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'', it defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] but Pikachu managed to defeat it in a rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]''.

A rampaging Onix appeared in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]''.

Brock used another Onix in [[DP091]] as part of the triathlon.

==In the manga==
[[Brock]] has an Onix in [[Pokémon Zensho]], the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], and [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]].

===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Onix debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' of the Red, Green & Blue chapter as [[Brock]]'s main Pokémon, however a picture of it is showed on a leaflet in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Onix later continues to make appearances with Brock in various volumes onwards.

[[Bruno]] owns an Onix, on which he battles [[Bill]], [[Lt. Surge]] and {{Special|Red}} on [[Cerise Island]]. The Onix later manages to carry Bruno and [[Koga]] off the collapsing island. Another [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Onix was also seen on Cerise Island.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Onix (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Onix is obtainable in a Poké Ball. Once thrown, it flies up into the sky and uses {{m|Rock Throw}} on the player's opponents.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Onix is the second Poké Float to appear. It provides a horizontally flat area all the time it is on-screen, though it becomes diagonal as it leaves the screen.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], Onix was the longest Pokémon, but in [[Generation II]], it was dropped to second place by its evolution {{p|Steelix}}. When {{p|Wailord}} was introduced in [[Generation III]], it became the third longest.
* Onix is the largest Pokémon that evolves once.
* Onix and {{p|Swablu}} are the only dual-typed Pokémon that have their primary type change during evolution.
* By being under the ownership of [[Bruno]] in [[Generation II]], Onix is one of the few unevolved Pokémon that can evolve in the same generation who is under ownership by one of the Elite Four, the others being {{p|Dragonair}}, {{p|Shelgon}}, {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Sealeo}}. However, it's the only one where the same Elite Four member doesn't own its evolved form.
* Onix, along with its {{p2|Steelix|evolved form}}, are the only non-{{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon to learn {{m|DragonBreath}} by leveling up.
* Onix's Sugimori artwork is a mirror image of its Japanese Red and Green sprite.
===Origin===
Onix is most likely based on a snake.
====Name origin====
Onix's name is a corruption of ''{{wp|onyx}}'', a mineral. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 岩 ''iwa'', rock, and スネ−ク ''snake''.

It has been suggested that Onix is based on a {{wp|European dragon|wyrm}}, a type of dragon that has been presented as limbless and burrowing.
However, Onix was unable to learn DragonBreath until [[Generation III]]. The only reason for that is because in [[Generation II]], where the move was introduced, it was an award for defeating a gym leader, and normally no Pokémon can learn a move which is rewarded as TM from gyms.

'''Night Shade''' (Japanese: '''ナイトヘッド''' ''Night Head'') is a {{type2|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===[[Generation I]]===
Night Shade inflicts damage equal to the user's level. Although Night Shade deals Ghost-type damage, its type does not alter the amount of damage it inflicts. Night Shade hits both {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon and {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, both of which have immunities to Ghost-type moves during Generation I.

===[[Generation II]] and on===
After Generation I, the type mechanics were altered so that Night Shade and all other Ghost-type moves hit Psychic-type Pokémon, leaving only Normal-type Pokémon immune to Night Shade. Night Shade will inflict damage equal to the user's level.

==In the anime==
