==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
[[List of TM and HM locations in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|TMs in the Mystery Dungeon series]] are named only by the move they teach. For example, [[File:MDBag TM RTRB Sprite.png]]Attract is the item that teaches the move {{m|Attract}}. Most TMs, however, correspond to a TM in the core series' contemporaneous games.

TMs in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], TMs can only be used once before becoming [[Used TM]]s. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], TMs can be used any number of times. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], some TMs can only be used once while rainbow-colored TMs can be used any number of times.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], TMs can only be used once. Whilst the available TMs are the same as those in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the TM list order is the same as for Super Mystery Dungeon (that is, in the TM order for {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}), with newly added TMs added to the end of the list.

[[File:TM28 PO.png|thumb|250px|TM28 in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
===Pokémon Origins===
TM28 ({{m|Dig}}) made a brief appearance in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} retrieved it from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who had stolen it.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In games where [[Cinnabar Gym]] contains a quiz, the final question of that quiz asks whether TM28 contains a particular move, and proposes a nonexistent, humorously over-the-top move name that varies by language:
** English: '''Tombstoner'''{{sup/1|RBY}} or '''Tombstony'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}}
** Japanese: '''{{tt|しねしねこうせん|Shineshine Kōsen}}'''
** French: '''Fosse'''{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or '''Rayon Pouêt-Pouêt'''{{sup/7|PE}}
** German: '''Frosch-Attacke'''{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or '''Hypermegasuperstrahl'''{{sup/7|PE}}
** Italian: '''Pietra Tombale'''
** Spanish: '''Tumbapietra'''
** Korean: '''{{tt|아야아야광선|Ayaayagwangseon}}'''
** Simplified Chinese: '''死死光线''' (international) or '''倒地光线''' (mainland China)
** Traditional Chinese: '''死死光線'''
* In the [[Generation II]] games, there is a dummied-out copy of TM28, which appears in game data right after the real TM28. It is put in the Item pocket and has no effect. When held by a Pokémon, its name is displayed as {{i|Berry}} (Japanese: きのみ ''Berry''). It shares these traits with [[TM04]].
** These dummy items might have been created to ensure that the correct item is held by a Pokémon traded from [[Generation I]] through the [[Time Capsule]].
* Along with [[TM21]] and [[TM43]], this is one of the few TMs unobtainable in both {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD|XD}} outside of [[trade]]s.
* In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], TM28 is the only TM that can only be obtained once and cannot be purchased repeatedly through the [[Grand Underground]] {{DL|Grand Underground|merchants}}, in the [[Veilstone Department Store]], or from the [[Shard]] collector on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}}.

'''Magnemite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイル''' ''Coil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|was]] a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
Magnemite is a seemingly {{wp|robot|robotic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a gray, spherical metal body, with blue-and-red tipped horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body and the one on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, it is shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'' that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. In ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', it exhibited the need to eat, although its main form of nutrition are electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|power plants or caves}} with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, [[Media:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|Magnemite has been depicted in carvings]] discovered at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. It has also been present in [[AZ]]'s retelling of the [[Kalos]] war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.

The magnetic units on Magnemite's body generate an electromagnetic field that allows it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. The units generate stronger magnetic fields the faster they rotate. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive but they may approach Trainers with little notice. If a wild Magnemite is approached, [[Escape#Wild Pokémon|it may simply flee]] on rare occasions, as Magnemite does not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will retaliate with non-damaging moves. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, as seen in the {{aniseries|PTS}} episode ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', it's shown that it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer. Should it run out of electricity, Magnemite will fall to the ground. Usually, batteries can help recharge it in order for Magnemite to start moving again.

Magnemite can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a [[Pokétch]]. In the episode ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', it is shown to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. With modern electrical lines buried underground, Magnemite attacks on power plants have increased. To prevent power outages, these power plants deliberately send out signals Magnemite cannot stand to ward them off. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Magnemite is known to sleep airbone by generating electromagnetic waves from its side magnets.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>There are rare occasions where while Magnemite sleeps and muddles to the direction of its waves, it will loop in the air while sleeping.

===Evolution===
Magnemite evolves into {{p|Magneton}}, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}}.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: A group of Magnemite are the clients of the game's second mission, sending the player to save their friend who is trapped in [[Thunderwave Cave]]. One of the Magnemite decides to join the rescue team a couple of days later.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Two Magnemite serve as {{p|Magnezone}}'s police units.

===Evolution data===
Magnemite [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which, since [[Generation IV]], evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]]. Magneton cannot evolve into Magnezone in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to there being no area in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] with a special magnetic field. Magneton also cannot evolve in {{LGPE}}, as Magnezone is not present in those games. There is also no special magnetic field in {{g|Sword and Shield}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, so from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Magneton is also able to evolve into Magnezone when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magnemite was originally known as "Coil", which was derived from its Japanese name.
* Magnemite and its [[Evolution|evolved]] form were the first Pokémon to ever change typing with the progress of [[generation]]s.
* Despite most of Magnemite's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magnemite can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magnemite and Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* {{g|Snap}} is one of the few times that two Magnemite have been shown bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
** {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} also showed this, but it was stated to be a failed Evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.
* In 2008, Japanese internet users spammed votes for Magnemite on a {{wp|Yahoo! Kids}} poll featuring 9 Pokémon appearing in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Since then, several Japanese Pokémon polls have received an unusual amount of votes for Magnemite, including the 2021 [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll, when it came in 1st place for [[Kanto]] Pokémon.
* In [[Generation V]], Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the [[GTS]]. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.
* Magnemite was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], based on an idea by [[Satoshi Tajiri]].<ref name=USUMPokédex>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xv</ref>
* On May 31, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Magnemite-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Where is Coil? Here is Coil!]].

===Origin===
Magnemite is based on {{wp|magnet}}s<ref name=USUMPokédex/> and screws, and in broader terms, possibly an objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature.

====Name origin====
Magnemite may be a combination of ''magnet'' and ''mite'' (minute object). It may also play on ''{{wp|magnetite}}'' and/or ''{{wp|maghemite}}'', iron oxide minerals that can, under specific conditions, become permanent magnets.

Coil may refer to ''{{wp|electromagnetic coil}}''.

Jubilife Village

2026-03-01T20:10:23Z

MAGNEDETH: Several grammatical fixes led to me separating the music information as it is not trivia, it is information.

{{Town infobox
|name=Jubilife Village
|jpname={{tt|コトブキムラ|Kotobuki Mura}}

}}
'''Jubilife Village''' (Japanese: '''コトブキムラ''' ''Kotobuki Village'') is a village in the [[Hisui]] [[region]] that was constructed by the [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]]. It lies to the west of the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] and the [[Cobalt Coastlands]] on a section of Hisui's western shore. At the time of the arrival of the [[Player character|strange visitor]], the village had only been established for two years.

In the present day, it has grown to be one of the largest cities in [[Sinnoh]], known now as [[Jubilife City]].

All {{p|Burmy}} that {{pkmn|battle}} here will turn into their Plant Cloak [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Burmy and Wormadam|form]].

==Sublocations==
===Prelude Beach===
Prelude Beach (Japanese: '''始まりの浜''' ''Beginning Beach'') is a small beach southwest of the seaside gate of Jubilife Village. The area consists of a small shoreline, with an old pier that has a wooden boat docked. There is an inaccessible hut with two barrels to its side. Prelude Beach is where visitors from other [[region]]s are dropped off to start their new life in Jubilife Village, as witnessed during [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Mission]] 9: "A New Mission".

The player wakes up here at the start of the game, having fallen from a [[space-time distortion|space-time rift]], after which they meet [[Professor Laventon]]. The player's cell phone, which has transformed into the [[Arc Phone]] by {{ga|Arceus}}, is found lying on the ground here after meeting Laventon.

The player returns here during Mission 25: "The Plate of Prelude Beach" to fight against Commander [[Kamado]] and receive the [[Fist Plate]] if victorious.

===Practice field===
The practice field is a small field southeast of the seaside gate that connects to Prelude Beach. After meeting Professor Laventon, his three [[first partner Pokémon]] run away and disperse throughout the practice field.

Professor Laventon asks the player to help him catch the escaped Pokémon, giving them 50 {{hi|Poké Ball}}s to do so; if they run out, he gives them 10 more. This event functions as a catching tutorial, where the player has to catch all three of the first partner Pokémon. The first two Pokémon are automatically caught with the first successful throw, while the last one will break out from the first ball that hits it; the third Pokémon will be automatically caught with the second throw. The player does not get to keep the Poké Balls or caught Pokémon at the end of the tutorial.

====Balloon minigame====
{{incomplete|section|Bonus points and reward thresholds}}
[[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Requests|Request]] 26: "Aim for the Big Leagues!" unlocks a minigame on the practice field, hosted by Taggart. The player is given one minute and unlimited Poké Balls to pop as many {{p|Drifloon}} balloons as they can. Purple balloons give 100 points, while yellow balloons give 200 points; multiple pops per throw give bonus points.

Players earn one of the following rewards for earning points in a minigame: [[Ball of Mud]], [[Nugget]], {{hi|Great Ball}}, {{hi|Ultra Ball}}, [[Wing Ball]], [[Leaden Ball]], [[Scatter Bang]], [[Smoke Bomb]], [[Sticky Glob]].

===Canala Avenue===
[[File:Jubilife Village LA.png|thumb|250px|Canala Avenue]]
Canala Avenue (Japanese: '''ミオ通り''' ''Mio Street''), named after Canala of the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Construction Corps, is a major road running north-to-south through the middle of town from the seaside gate to Canala Bridge. It is a residential street, lined with houses on both sides. Crossing the Milkiwa River via Canala Bridge leads to Floaro Main Street, right across from [[Galaxy Hall]].

===Pastures===
{{main|Pastures}}
The village pastures are located on the east side of town. They are run by Marie. The pastures' services become available to the player once they complete [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Mission]] 2: "The Galaxy Team's Entry Trial".

The pastures store the player's Pokémon that are not in their [[party]], the equivalent of the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in other Pokémon games. 8 pastures are available at first, each containing 30 slots for Pokémon, and as many as 32 pastures in total can be unlocked as pastures completely fill up and story events are completed.

===Farm===
The farm is located on the western side of the village. It is managed by [[Colza]], with the fields tilled by Miller and tended by Leif. The farm's services become available to the player once they complete [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Mission]] 2: "The Galaxy Team's Entry Trial".

At the farm, the player can pay for one of several harvests. The harvest will develop as the player catches Pokémon on an expedition, and the number of Pokémon to catch for the harvest to fully develop depends on the type of harvest chosen. More types of harvests become available after certain requests are completed. The yields for a harvest are determined immediately after selecting and paying for one. Occasionally, a harvest will yield extra items than usual, which are termed "bumper crops".

====Wallflower====
The '''Wallflower''' (Japanese: '''イモヅル亭''' ''Imozuru Restaurant'') is the Galaxy Expedition Team's canteen run by [[Beni]]. It is well-known for its potato {{wp|mochi}}. The {{player}}, {{ga|Rei}} (if the player is female) or {{ga|Akari}} (if the player is male), and [[Professor Laventon]] meet here after missions to eat. Beni is usually seen standing in front, ready to buy [[Sootfoot Root]]s from the player for {{pdollar}}100 each.

====General store====
The general store is run by [[Choy]]. It becomes available to the player once they complete [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Mission]] 2: "The Galaxy Team's Entry Trial". At the beginning, the store has little to offer, but Choy expands its inventory as the player completes a series of side quests that involve collecting various items for [[Tao Hua]], the captain of the Supply Corps. The same items available at the general store can also be purchased at [[base camp]]s.

After completing all of Choy's requests, the shop is labeled on the map as the First-Rate General Store.

====Ginkgo Guild cart====
The [[Ginkgo Guild]] cart is run by Ginkgo Guild members [[Ginter]] and [[Tuli]]. They arrive in Jubilife Village and set up shop between the Galaxy Hall and the player's quarters after the player completes [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Mission]] 7: "The Frenzy of the Lord of the Woods". More [[item]]s are added to the stock as the player completes more missions.

=====Ginter=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Missing conditions for items, chances to appear, etc. See [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRC_ayQbcHtEmTrgqeZ5lUIxA2_recVmqUAKxVqMaHoJWW0Pm6IxnjiMJbdo-mQzSH8uBxsZgpUoeCS/pubhtml this] document for details}}
[[Ginter]] behaves differently from most shopkeepers.<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRC_ayQbcHtEmTrgqeZ5lUIxA2_recVmqUAKxVqMaHoJWW0Pm6IxnjiMJbdo-mQzSH8uBxsZgpUoeCS/pubhtml</ref> Ginter will not buy items from the player, and will only offer a random assortment of items through a dialogue menu instead of a store menu. He often sells items in sets with a bulk discount compared to normal shopkeepers. He will also offer the player items that cannot be bought from anyone else, although he will not tell the player explicitly what the item is and will instead give it a vague description. Eventually, Ginter will also offer unique items that can only be purchased once. Ginter will change his offerings every time the player catches 20 Pokémon. Once an item is purchased from Ginter, he will not sell that product again until his store refreshes. Ginter will offer the player up to three different items (only a single ware before version 1.1.0).

====Hairdresser====
The hairdresser is located between the clothing store and the general store. It is initially run by an old woman named Edith, but [[Arezu]] takes over after completing Mission 8: "Arezu's Predicament". The service is available to the player once they complete Mission 2: "The Galaxy Team's Entry Trial".

The player can pay {{PDollar}}500 in exchange for customizing their hairstyle, hair color, and eyebrow color. After styling their hair, Edith or Arezu gives the player the option to wear their hat or not, if the new hairstyle allows for the use of hats. Players can complete requests given to them by Arezu to obtain more hair style and color options.

After completing all of Arezu's requests, the hairdresser is labeled on the map as the First-Rate Hairdresser.

====Clothier====
{{main|List of clothing in Pokémon Legends: Arceus}}
The clothier is located by the hairdresser, near the front gate. It is run by [[Anthe]]. The player can purchase clothing or change their outfit here. Additional clothing options become available as the player completes story missions and by completing specific requests for Anthe.

After completing all of Anthe's requests, the shop is labeled on the map as the First-Rate Clothier.

The player can receive special clothing items if they have [[save data bonus|save data]] from other Pokémon games on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system.

====Photography studio====
The photography studio is run by Dagero, and is located at the east end of Floaro Main Street by the front gate. It becomes available to the player once they complete [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Mission]] 2: "The Galaxy Team's Entry Trial".

The player can take [[photography|pictures]] either alone or with one of their Pokémon. Characters also may visit the studio at random and ask to take photos with the player, after completing Request 102: "Daybreak". The player's pose and expression, lens filters, background, and the Pokémon's action may be freely changed by the player. The characters who visit and their partner Pokémon have preset poses and actions that cannot be changed. The pictures are taken with the screenshot function of the Nintendo Switch and are stored in the system memory. After completing requests for Dagero, the player gets an expanded pool of lens filters to use.

Despite being unable to view [[Ribbon]]s in the [[summary]] within Legends: Arceus, preparing a Pokémon at Dagero's studio invisibly grants that Pokémon the [[List of Ribbons in the games#Memorial Ribbons|Hisui Ribbon]] (called the Pioneer Ribbon in the game's internal code); this Ribbon cannot be viewed in [[Generation VIII]], only appearing once the Pokémon is transferred to [[Generation IX]].

After completing all of Dagero's requests, the studio will be labeled on the map as the First-Rate Photography Studio.

====Front gate====
The front gate is located at the east end of Floaro Main Street. It is guarded by [[Ress]] of the Security Corps. After completing [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Mission]] 3: "The Basics of Crafting", the player can set out on expeditions to [[base camp]]s in other parts of [[Hisui]] from this gate. Ress will inform the player if a [[mass outbreak]] and/or [[Mass outbreak#Pokémon Legends: Arceus|massive mass outbreak]] is occurring at a location, whenever those phenomena become available.

====Your quarters====
[[File:Player Quarters exterior LA.png|thumb|250px|Your Quarters]]
{{main|Player's house#Hisui|Player's house → Hisui}}
Your quarters is a small house located just east of Galaxy Hall, on Floaro Main Street.

After completing [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Mission]] 5: "A Request from Mai", the player can choose to sleep in their bed until specific times to change the [[time]] in Jubilife Village. The day/night cycle will not advance in Jubilife Village unless the player rests. Changing the time is necessary for some requests, such as [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Requests|Request]] 7: "Playing with Drifloon". The player can access the [[Eternal Battle Reverie]] from sleeping in their bed after unlocking it. It also has a chest that the player can use to store items.

Whenever the player buys a {{p|Rotom}} appliance from Ginter, it is automatically sent to your quarters and placed on a predesignated spot here.

===Training grounds===
{{main|Training grounds}}
The training grounds are located in the northwestern portion of town, at the west end of Floaro Main Street. It consists of a large building with a Pokémon battlefield in front of it, all surrounded by a wooden fence. [[Zisu]] helps the player's Pokémon learn new [[move]]s here, as well as master them. Various battles take place here throughout the story. The [[Path of Tenacity]] and [[Path of Solitude]] are conducted here once unlocked.

===Folk shrine===
The folk shrine is located in the northwest portion of the village between the training grounds and Galaxy Hall.

Charm Lady Lucille can be found praying to the shrine guardian here. Lucille sells the player three types of protective charms that aid them on expeditions. Charms come in one of five different colors (Red, Blue, Pink, Teal, Yellow), with each color indicated in the item's name with a letter (R, B, P, T, Y). The cost of the charm depends on the number of charms of the same type that the player already has in their [[satchel]]. The charm received is always the first charm of that type in color order that is not already in either the player's satchel or item storage; if the player already has all 5 colors of a charm, Lucille refuses to sell that charm.

In the satchel, charm quantities (which are always 1) display with yellow text, but this does not occur in the item storage or on the screen that displays lost items when the player blacks out.

==Tasks==
{{main|Task#Requests|Task → Requests}}

==Demographics==

==Music==
Jubilife Village's theme is a rearrangement of [[Jubilife City]]'s theme and is dynamic as the player progresses through the game.
* It initially begins as a short loop.
* After defeating the {{pkmn2|noble}} {{p|Lilligant}} and then speaking to Commander [[Kamado]] at Prelude Beach, the theme is extended to include additional composition.
* After the end credits, the theme will play in its entirety.

Depending on the player's location within the village, the main instrument that plays the melody changes:
* If the player is within the village walls, various different instruments play the melody, including a bamboo key flute in the beginning and a string section in later sections of the theme.
* If the player is inside their living quarters, a violin plays the melody.
* If the player is inside any other building, an oboe plays the melody.

{{main|Jubilife Village (Astral Radiance 148)}}
'''Jubilife Village''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Stadium card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Battle Region}} subset and the English {{TCG|Astral Radiance}} expansion, with artwork by [[Oswaldo KATO]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by the same artist. It allows the players to shuffle their hand into their deck and draw five cards once per turn. Then their turn ends.

==Trivia==
* There are several locations in Jubilife Village that [[List of cross-generational references|reference]] locations from older games.
** The names of Floaro Main Street and Canala Avenue reference [[Floaroma Town]] and [[Canalave City]], respectively. Both settlements are close to the present-day [[Jubilife City]]. In-universe, they appear to be named after Floaro and Canala, members of the Construction Corps. [[Floaro Gardens]], a location in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]], also appears to be named after Floaro.
** Sevii Kitchen, which is a building constructed near the front gate during the story, bears the same name as the [[Sevii Islands]].
** Tsumugi, who is beside the item storage chest at the front gate, remarks on how [[Zisu]] wants to set up a dojo to teach everyone how to battle Pokémon. This is a reference to the Jubilife City {{si|Trainers' School}} .
* Factoring the three variations of Jubilife Village's theme, and the three possible instrumentations, the village's theme has a total of nine different versions. However, in the [[Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus Super Music Collection]], only the three variants of the theme when the player is within the village's walls are provided.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Jubilife Village's theme can be unlocked as a possible background music track for the [[League Club Room]]. The version of the theme that plays is the full version of the variant that plays when the player is within the village walls, listed as "コトブキムラ：3 / Jubilife Village: 3" in the Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus Super Music Collection.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Hisui|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Hisui}}
Jubilife Village appears to allude to {{wp|Sapporo}}, the capital city of {{wp|Hokkaidō}}. The design of Galaxy Hall appears to be based on the {{wp|Former Hokkaidō Government Office}}.

'''Growth''' (Japanese: '''せいちょう''' ''Growth'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], it is a {{type|Grass}} move.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Growth increases the user's {{stat|Special}} stat by one stage.

===Generations II to IV===
Growth instead increases the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} stat by one stage.

Growth can be used as the first move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing {{m|Absorb}}, {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Giga Drain}}, {{m|Magical Leaf}}, {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Petal Dance}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{m|Solar Beam|SolarBeam}}, and {{m|Vine Whip}} to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.

===Generation V===
Growth now increases the user's {{stat|Attack}} by one stage in addition to increasing {{stat|Special Attack}} by one stage. In {{Weather|harsh sunlight}}, Growth raises Attack and Special Attack by two stages each.

===Generation VI onwards===
Growth's PP is changed from 40 to 20.

Growth can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if the move {{m|Sunny Day}} was used in the prior turn.

If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Growth, the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} stat rises by another stage.

===Generation IX===
====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====
Growth is a {{type|Grass}} move in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

Mint

2025-11-06T23:09:23Z

MAGNEDETH: /* Acquisition */ Meant to remove that.

{{samename|female player character from [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]]|Mint (TCG GB)}}
{{samename|sleep-curing berry from Generation II|Mint Berry}}
A '''mint''' (Japanese: '''ミント''' ''mint'') is a type of consumable [[item]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that changes the effect of a Pokémon's [[Nature]] on its [[Statistic|stats]].

==Mechanics==
When used from the [[Bag]] or [[satchel]]{{sup/8|LA}} on a Pokémon, it changes its Nature-based stat increase and decrease to that of the Nature corresponding to the mint used.

This does not change the Pokémon's actual Nature and therefore will not affect effects that care about it, such as a Pokémon's [[flavor]] preferences, {{p|Toxel}}'s [[Evolution]] into {{p|Toxtricity}}, the Nature of [[wild Pokémon]] encountered using {{a|Synchronize}}, and the Nature that would be inherited from [[breeding]].

Mint's stat changes never get passed down via breeding; the offspring's Nature-based stat growth at birth will always match its actual Nature.

==Acquisition==
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, mints can be purchased at the {{gal|Battle Tower}} for 50 [[Battle Point|BP]]. They are also awarded at random each time the player achieves a higher rank for the first time in the Battle Tower. Mints can also be found scattered around the [[Isle of Armor]] and [[Crown Tundra]] as randomly spawned overworld items each day.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, mints can be purchased at the {{si|Battle Park}} for 50 BP.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, mints can be acquired from the farm in [[Jubilife Village]] by requesting a Mint Harvest for {{pdollar}}10,000. The types of mints received from harvests are random.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, mints can be bought from [[Chansey Supply]] stores for {{pdollar}}20,000 each. They can also be obtained as prizes from the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], as well as 5★ and 6★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. In [[Kitakami]], mints can be obtained from [[Ogre Oustin']].

In In {{g|Legends Z-A}}, mints that increase Attack, Special Attack, Defense, and Special Defense can be bought in [[Rouge Sector 1]] located in an alley in-between [[Autumnal Street]] and [[Rouge Plaza]]. Mints that increase Speed can be bought in [[Vert Sector 6]] at a stand next to the water to the north of [[Restaurant Le Nah]].

Mint

MAGNEDETH: /* Acquisition */

{{samename|female player character from [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]]|Mint (TCG GB)}}
{{samename|sleep-curing berry from Generation II|Mint Berry}}
A '''mint''' (Japanese: '''ミント''' ''mint'') is a type of consumable [[item]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that changes the effect of a Pokémon's [[Nature]] on its [[Statistic|stats]].

==Mechanics==
When used from the [[Bag]] or [[satchel]]{{sup/8|LA}} on a Pokémon, it changes its Nature-based stat increase and decrease to that of the Nature corresponding to the mint used.

This does not change the Pokémon's actual Nature and therefore will not affect effects that care about it, such as a Pokémon's [[flavor]] preferences, {{p|Toxel}}'s [[Evolution]] into {{p|Toxtricity}}, the Nature of [[wild Pokémon]] encountered using {{a|Synchronize}}, and the Nature that would be inherited from [[breeding]].

Mint's stat changes never get passed down via breeding; the offspring's Nature-based stat growth at birth will always match its actual Nature.

==Acquisition==
{{incomplete|section|Z-A location}}
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, mints can be purchased at the {{gal|Battle Tower}} for 50 [[Battle Point|BP]]. They are also awarded at random each time the player achieves a higher rank for the first time in the Battle Tower. Mints can also be found scattered around the [[Isle of Armor]] and [[Crown Tundra]] as randomly spawned overworld items each day.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, mints can be purchased at the {{si|Battle Park}} for 50 BP.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, mints can be acquired from the farm in [[Jubilife Village]] by requesting a Mint Harvest for {{pdollar}}10,000. The types of mints received from harvests are random.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, mints can be bought from [[Chansey Supply]] stores for {{pdollar}}20,000 each. They can also be obtained as prizes from the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], as well as 5★ and 6★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. In [[Kitakami]], mints can be obtained from [[Ogre Oustin']].

In In {{g|Legends Z-A}}, mints that increase Attack, Special Attack, Defense, and Special Defense can be bought in [[Rouge Sector 1]] located in an alley in-between [[Autumnal Street]] and [[Rouge Plaza]]. Mints that increase Speed can be bought in [[Vert Sector 6]] at a stand next to the water to the north of [[Restaurant Le Nah]].

'''Amnesia''' (Japanese: '''ドわすれ''' ''Memory Lapse'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TR17]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and is [[TM128]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Amnesia increases the user's {{stat|Special}} by two stages.

===Generation II onwards===
Amnesia now raises the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} by two stages [[List of modified moves|instead]].

Amnesia is a part of [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]] and using it will cause {{m|Baton Pass}} and {{m|Stored Power}} to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a [[Psychium Z]] into Z-Amnesia, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

===[[Pokémon Rumble Blast]]===
The user's {{stat|Defense}} rises.
==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Amnesia is {{p|Slowbro}}'s second move. It is obtained by reaching level 6 and upgrading {{m|Slack Off}} into it instead of {{m|Telekinesis}}. The user becomes briefly unstoppable, gains increased defenses, restores a portion of their Oblivious health, and gains bonus damage on the next Surf or Scald used. At level 13, the move also increases the user's Special Attack.

'''Zeraora''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼラオラ''' ''Zeraora'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VII]], in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

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

Zeraora was officially revealed on April 9, 2018, on [[Oha Suta]].

Zeraora is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

==Biology==
Zeraora is a bipedal, feline {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily yellow and black fur. The fur is thinner and black on its lower legs, lower body, upper arms, and face, and is thicker and yellow everywhere else. There is also a zigzagging black stripe on each thigh and two more stripes on each forearm. There are small tufts of light blue fur on its chest and a longer tuft on its forehead. Zeraora also has a single, lightning bolt-shaped blue whisker on each cheek. A long, ponytail-like or tail-like bunch of fur extends from between its shoulders. Zeraora has large ears with black insides and blue eyes. Its forepaws have four clawed fingers and light blue pads, while its hindpaws have only three clawed toes.

Zeraora was supposedly born from an explosion caused by a bolt of lightning striking an erupting volcano. It lacks an electricity-generating organ, so it gathers and stores electricity from outside sources. This Pokémon can create a very powerful magnetic field through the strong electric currents emitted from its paw pads. Using this magnetic field allows it to levitate and move at high speeds while airborne. Zeraora can travel as fast as a lightning strike. Its fur is known to stand on end whenever it is using massive amounts of electricity.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Zeraora]</ref> Zeraora can tear its opponents apart with its high-voltage claws. Even if the opponent dodges, they can still get electrocuted by the flying sparks. Lightning flashes and thunderclaps can occur when Zeraora starts running. According to the [[Pokécology]] book, Zeraora is considered the fastest Pokémon to be discovered, with a top speed 720,000 miles per hour.

Zeraora is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Plasma Fists}}.

He used it to save {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Ultra Ruin Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}. Afterwards, it battled Pikachu and won. It also appeared in [[SM101|the next episode]].

==Trivia==
* Zeraora is the only {{type|Electric}} Mythical Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Zap Plate]].
* On April 26, 2018, [[The Pokémon Company]] released a special [[Battle Video]] for {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} {{DL|Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Version history|version 1.2}} that allowed Zeraora to be legitimately used and battled against in-game prior to its official release, using the code <code>QKUW-WWWW-WWWL-J5TL</code>.
* In [[The Isle of Armor]] DLC, in order to obtain a {{Shiny}} Zeraora, a [[Dynamax]] Zeraora was required for one million players to battle, making it the only Mythical Pokémon that could be encountered in a [[Max Raid Battle]].
* In [[Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us: Zeraora's Story]], Zeraora is described as having been born in an explosion caused by a lightning bolt striking the mouth of an erupting volcano.

===Origin===
Zeraora's feline appearance may take inspiration from {{wp|cat}}s and {{wp|tiger}}s. Its {{t|Electric}} type may allude to {{wp|Kanehekili}}, the Hawaiian god of thunder. Its design may also reference the {{wp|oni}}, a supernatural creature often associated with tiger pelts and lightning; or even the ''{{wp|raijū}}'', a creature that is the embodiment of lightning in an animal form, which is sometimes represented as a cat. Based on its swift movement and slicing up of its opponents, it may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|kamaitachi}}. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on {{wp|white tiger}}s.

====Name origin====
Zeraora's name may be derived from ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (Greek god of thunder), زر ''zarra'' (Arabic for "to beam/glitter/shine", "to encroach upon one's enemy"), and 虎 ''tora'' (Japanese for tiger) or ''tora'' (Faroese for thunder).

{{main|Pokémon vending machines}}
Pokémon Center goods are also sold from vending machines in the United States and Japan.

In the United States a series of Pokémon Center branded machines are maintained by [[The Pokémon Company International]] and have been present in shopping malls in and around the {{wp|Seattle}} area since 2010. They sell a variety of goods including {{OBP|Poké Doll|plush}}, [[Pokémon games|video games]], figures, Trading Card Game items, and charms.

In 2018, [[The Pokémon Company]] launched vending machines in Japan under the name Pokémon Stand. These also sell Pokémon Center goods, including (in some locations) exclusive {{p|Pikachu}} plushies.

In Japan Pokémon Center goods are available from [https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/ Pokémon Center Online] and [http://www.amazon.co.jp/b?node=2430277051 The Pokémon Store at Amazon.co.jp].

A desktop online store was originally available in Japan from March 21, 2001, and a store accessible via mobile phones was available from September 29, 2003. Both of these closed on November 30, 2006.

The Amazon.co.jp store opened on October 18, 2012, and uses the [[Pokémon Store]] brand and name. On February 16, 2016, the current [https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/ pokemoncenter-online.com] website reopened for customers in Japan.

===United States===
[[File:Pokémon Center online logo.png|thumb|right|US site logo]]
In the United States, Pokémon Center goods are available from [http://pokemoncenter.com PokémonCenter.com].

====Original website====
[[File:Pokémon Center online.png|thumb|200px|The old US site the day before closing]]
Around mid-January 2008, the Pokémon Center online store in North America displayed a closing message, encouraging shoppers to take advantage of closing sales, because the store would be closing at the end of the month. The store did close effective February 1, but kept a Q & A site in place of the actual store. The reason given for the closing was: "Pokémon USA, Inc. (now part of [[The Pokémon Company International]]) has decided to sell Pokémon merchandise exclusively through its retail partners." The site continued to accept product returns that met their product return standards and were postmarked by February 21 of that year. If one visited [http://pokemoncenter.com pokemoncenter.com], it would redirect to [[Pokémon.com|the Pokémon website]].

====New website====
On July 2, 2014, the website featured a countdown clock for the grand opening of the Pokémon Center online store and [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Eevee-and-7-Evolution-Pokemon-Minis/dp/B00JKPI0C6 three] [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Poke-Plush-Pikachu-Running/dp/B00JG17ZG6 different] [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/Mewtwo-Tumbler-Purple/dp/B00K5S43OG items] available for early-access purchase.

On August 6, 2014, the Pokémon Center online store reopened for customers in {{pmin|the United States}} at the same URL. [[n:Pokémon Center website to return|Some fans]] were given advance access via mail, where they could access the Pokémon Center website starting July 2, 2014. These fans were given some special gifts from The Pokémon Company alongside the invitation: an iPhone 5 case, a notebook, a canteen, and a plush Special Delivery Pikachu.

On November 9, 2020, the Pokémon Center online store became available in {{pmin|Canada}}.

==Trivia==
* The internal data of the [[core series]] games from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} contain [[Index number|location indices]] for all of the Pokémon Centers at the time.
** The Japanese and Korean version of the [[Generation IV]] games still refer to the [[#United States|Nintendo World Store]] as PC New York (Japanese: {{j|ＰＣ}}ニューヨーク, Korean: {{k|PC}}뉴욕), even though they were released after the remodeling. Games from [[Generation V]] onwards do not have a location index for the Nintendo World Store.
** Beginning in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the games no longer have individual indices for each store, with only the Pokémon Center Tohoku retaining a distinct location index.

MAGNEDETH: /* {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} */

{{Incomplete|article|More Generation V, VII, and VIII info}}
[[File:Trade anime.png|thumb|300px|A trade in progress in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
A '''trade''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|交換|こうかん}}}}''' ''exchange''), also known as a '''Link Trade''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|通信交換|つうしんこうかん}}}}''' ''Link Exchange''), is a process in which a [[Pokémon Trainer]] sends one of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to another Trainer in exchange for one of the other Trainer's Pokémon.

==In the core series games==
In every [[core series]] Pokémon game except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], trading is necessary to collect all the [[Pokémon availability|available Pokémon]]. The [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] are those that are found in other related games. In addition, some Pokémon [[trade Evolution|evolve when traded]]. Some of these Pokémon need to be [[held item|holding]] a specific [[Evolution item]] in order to evolve.

Starting from [[Generation II]], [[item]]s can be held by Pokémon, allowing indirect trading of holdable items. However, in Generation IV, the [[Griseous Orb]] cannot be traded, as it will automatically be put back in the Bag when a player with Origin Forme Giratina in their party enters the Union Room or Wi-Fi Room. [[Mail]] may also be held to send a message.

Until {{B2W2}}, all trading animations in the [[core series]] games used the standard {{i|Poké Ball}}, regardless of the types of Balls the traded Pokémon were actually caught in. This is corrected in Black 2 and White 2, in which trade animations show the correct Poké Ball the Pokémon was caught in.

===Results of trading===
====Benefits====
[[File:SM Prerelease Trade.png|thumb|200px|Trading a {{p|Togedemaru}} for a {{p|Pikipek}} in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}]]
Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as some Pokémon [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|can only be found]] in certain versions. For example, because {{p|Meowth}} cannot be found in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Red}}, the player must trade with someone who has obtained one from Blue, in which Meowth is readily found in the wild. Some Pokémon only [[trade Evolution|evolve after being traded]].

Traded Pokémon gain 1.5× the normal [[experience]] after a [[Pokémon battle]]. Pokémon traded from a game in another language will gain 1.7× experience.

Trading may also be used to transfer limited and rare items in games from [[Generation II]] onward, such as [[Master Ball]]s or [[Soul Dew]]s, from one game to another by [[Held item|giving a Pokémon an item]].

In [[Generation VI]], Trainers receive [[Poké Mile]]s for every trade made with another player. In [[Generation VII]], Trainers may receive [[Pokémon Dollar#Other currencies|Festival Coin]]s instead.

====Drawbacks====
A Pokémon with an [[original Trainer]] different from its current Trainer is referred to as an [[outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a Trainer with the sufficient number of [[Badge|Gym Badges]] or [[Island challenge|Stamps]]. The [[friendship]] of a Pokémon is set to its [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] when it is traded from one game to another, unless returned to its original Trainer in [[Generation VI]] or later. In addition, a traded Pokémon's nickname cannot be changed by anyone but the original Trainer, even if it hasn't been given a nickname (however, in Gen VIII, outsider Pokémon without nicknames can be nicknamed).

Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five- or six-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]]. Starting in [[Generation III]], even if two games have the same name and ID number, each Trainer also has a [[secret ID number]]. The odds of two Trainers having the same secret ID numbers is 1/65536 or approximately 0.002%, making it extremely unlikely that an outsider Pokémon will be treated as a regular Pokémon on a different cartridge.

While beneficial in their own right, trade-induced [[evolution]]s cannot be cancelled manually, requiring Pokémon that evolve when traded without a specific held item to hold an [[Everstone]] in order to stay in their current form. In [[Generation IV]] and onwards, however, the Everstone fails to prevent a traded {{p|Kadabra}} from evolving into {{p|Alakazam}}.

===Trading process===
====Generations I-IV====
The actual trading interface remained largely the same throughout the series's first four generations: Each player selects one Pokémon from their party to offer for trade; once decided, they can review the [[stats]] (and, when applicable, [[Ability]] or [[item]]) of the other Pokémon before confirming or cancelling the trade. The player may perform multiple trades in a row.

It is not possible to trade Pokémon stored in the [[PC]] in these generations, so they must be placed in the party prior to speaking with the receptionist at a Pokémon Center.

Generation IV's [[Global Trade System]] utilized a separate trading process, in which players deposited one Pokémon at a time (requesting another Pokémon in exchange) and other players searched and traded for them at their leisure. Once traded, the original player received the Pokémon upon logging in to the GTS. If the Pokémon was not traded, the original player was able to cancel the offer by withdrawing their Pokémon from the GTS. Due to the Wi-Fi shutdown, this feature is no longer officially supported as of May 20, 2014.

====Generation V====
{{anchor|Negotiation Trade}}
The trading process received an overhaul in Generation V: now called a '''Negotiation Trade''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ネゴシエーション{{tt|交換|こうかん}}}}''' ''Negotiation Exchange''), it allows players to offer and trade Pokémon from either their current party or directly from their PC's storage system.

During the trade, each player may select up to three Pokémon to offer the other player. Once decided, they may review the offered Pokémon (checking stats, Ability, etc.) and confirm one to be traded. Players may trade several Pokémon in a row if desired.

Players registered on each other's [[Pal Pad]] can communicate with live voice chat during the trade. A set of four emoticons (Smile Mark, Saddened Mark, Heart Mark, Surprise Mark) also allows for limited communication between players. In addition to showing the Pokémon on offer, the top screen also includes an abstract glimpse of the other player's Pokémon collection in the form of PC boxes with individual Pokémon represented by their [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]].

The GTS, in addition to the deposit/search-based system introduced in Generation IV, receives a second trading mode ("GTS Negotiations") allowing two players to connect and trade Pokémon using this system. Like Generation IV, Generation V's GTS was shut down in 2014.

====Generation VI====
Trading functions (including the GTS) are no longer a service of Pokémon Centers, but are instead accessible at any time through the [[Player Search System]] on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s lower screen.

The trading process has been streamlined since Generation V, with each player showing only one Pokémon at a time (instead of three) before being prompted to make an offer. Chat emoticons have been removed, but voice chat is still available when the player trades with someone on their 3DS's Friends List.

The GTS has also been updated, now allowing the player to enter the species name of any Pokémon using a "What Pokémon?" option in the Pokémon selection list. This allows players to trade for Pokémon that they have not seen in the game.

A third trading method, called [[Wonder Trade]], is introduced this generation: when performing a Wonder Trade, the player selects one of their Pokémon and it is immediately traded with another player using Wonder Trade, with no further confirmation or any communication between players, meaning that the Pokémon the player receives in exchange for theirs is a complete surprise.

====Generation VII====
The PSS has been replaced and split between the [[Quick Link]] and [[Festival Plaza]] options in the [[menu]]. Quick Link allows for players to locally trade Pokémon, while the Festival Plaza allows for trading through the Internet. The GTS and Wonder Trade are usable while in the Festival Plaza.

The GTS is similar to its Generation VI counterpart, though filtering has been adjusted and searching for a Pokémon by letter will now show that Pokémon's icon next to its name.

===Limitations on trading===
====Trading between game generations====
Pokémon can be traded between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] feature. For compatibility purposes, the Pokémon to be traded from the Generation II game must be {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|a species that existed in Generation I}} and cannot have any {{cat|Generation II moves|moves introduced in Generation II}}. The [[Time Capsule exploit]] can be used to trick the game into trading {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} back to [[Generation I]] as well, but they will become [[glitch Pokémon]] like [[MissingNo.]]. Additionally, the {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|trade Evolution learnset oversight}} can also be used to trade a Pokémon with a Generation II move back to a Generation I game, though it will become a [[glitch move]]. This is the only instance in the series in which players can directly trade Pokémon using games in different generations ({{g|HOME}} allows trading Pokémon last used in different generations, but only within HOME itself).

It is not officially possible to trade between Generation II and [[Generation III]] games.

Starting in [[Generation IV]], Pokémon from previous generations can be [[transfer]]red to newer generations (and from [[Generation IX]] back to [[Generation VIII]]) through a variety of methods, though none of them involve trading.

====Inter-language trading====
=====Generation I and II=====
In the Generation I and II core series games, Western language games (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) can all trade with each other without issue. Attempting to trade between Japanese and non-Japanese Generation I and II core series games causes corruption of both save files.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20221009111851/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#erasing</ref>

The Korean versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver can successfully trade with Western language Generation I and II games (but not Japanese games). However, due the [[Character encoding (Generation II)|character encoding]] differences, {{wp|Hangul}} characters (i.e. in the names of traded Pokémon and their Original Trainers) will become garbled on Western language games, possibly including control characters which may have unexpected effects. However, unlike attempting to trade between Western and Japanese games, save data is not corrupted. Conversely, attempting to trade between Japanese and Korean games will corrupt both games' save files.

In the Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II games, different language Western Virtual Console games can communicate; however, Japanese, Korean, and Western games cannot connect to each other at all. In the Korean Virtual Console release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, this effectively makes the [[Time Capsule]] and [[Diploma]] inaccessible barring glitches.

In these games, a Pokémon is determined to be [[nickname]]d if its name does not match its species name. As a result, if an unnicknamed Pokémon is traded to a game in a different language where the Pokémon's species has a different name, its name will be treated as nickname. For example, in an English Generation I or II game, a foreign {{p|Pichu}} named "PICHU" will evolve into a {{p|Pikachu}} nicknamed "PIKACHU", but a foreign {{p|Charmander}} named "[[List of French Pokémon names|SALAMECHE]]" will retain the name "SALAMECHE" after evolving into a {{p|Charmeleon}} as if it were a nickname. Because these games do not track [[language of origin]], if a traded Pokémon from Generation I or II is sent to the [[Pokémon Bank]] via the [[Poké Transporter]], its language of origin is determined based on the game from which the Pokémon is transferred, not the game from which it originally came.

=====Generation III=====
In the Generation III core series games, trading became possible between all versions of the games.

In Japanese, Pokémon and Trainer names have a 5 character limit, in contrast to the 10 character limit in Western language games. If a Pokémon whose name or Original Trainer is longer than 5 characters is traded to a Japanese game, in the Japanese game it will only display the first 5 characters.

In [[Generation III]] (except in v1.0 of English {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}), if a Pokémon originates from a different language to the current game, when it evolves its name will not be changed, with the old name treated as a nickname; thus, if a {{p|Pichu}} named "PICHU" from an Italian game is evolved in an English game, when it evolves it will be a {{p|Pikachu}} nicknamed "PICHU". In v1.0 of English Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, like in the Generation I and II games, if a Pokémon's current name is the same as its species name in the language of the game in which it was evolved, it will be treated as unnicknamed, so its species name will change upon evolution.

=====Generation IV=====
In the Generation IV core series games, with the advent of worldwide online trading via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], trading between different languages is better supported. All languages except Korean can freely trade with each other without issue.

Due to Pokémon Korea and Nintendo of Korea debuting after the initial release of Generation IV, no non-Korean Generation IV games support {{wp|Hangul}} characters. This prevents Korean language games from trading with Generation IV games in other languages. However, Korean language games can migrate Pokémon from Generation III games of any language.

If an unnicknamed Pokémon evolves, its name is changed to the name of its species after evolution in its current game's language (regardless of its [[language of origin]]). In these games, there is a separate flag to indicate whether a Pokémon is nicknamed.

Pokémon from foreign-language games unlock [[foreign Pokédex entries]] if traded to a game of a different language. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, foreign Pokédex entries can only be obtained for 14 specific Pokémon; in {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, foreign Pokédex entries can be unlocked for all Pokémon.

=====Generation V onwards=====
Starting in Generation V, Pokémon can be traded between all games, regardless of language.

From Generation IV to VII, if an unnicknamed Pokémon evolves or a Pokémon hatches without being given a nickname, its name becomes the name of its species in its current game's language (regardless of its [[language of origin]]). For example, a French {{p|Bulbasaur}} without a nickname that evolves in an English-language game will evolve into an {{p|Ivysaur}} named "Ivysaur", but will still be flagged as a French-language Pokémon and will unlock the corresponding foreign Pokédex entries for Ivysaur and {{p|Venusaur}} as it evolves.

In Generation VIII onwards, if an unnicknamed Pokémon evolves, its name will change to that of the evolved form in its [[language of origin]]. For example, a French Bulbasaur without a nickname that evolves in an English-language game will evolve into an Ivysaur named "Herbizarre".

====Hardware requirements====
Trading requires two game consoles and two Pokémon games of compatible generations. Nintendo's intention is that players trade with friends, although some serious players purchase multiple consoles.

Prior to {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, trading required a [[Game Link Cable]]. {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} can trade using a [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] or a Game Link Cable. From [[Generation IV]] onwards, trading uses wireless communication and does not require additional hardware beyond two consoles. Although the Nintendo DS supports [[Generation III]] games, it cannot be used to trade between those games as the DS lacks hardware support for the Game Link Cable.

The [[Nintendo Switch]] allows multiple users to use a single console, and the Switch version of [[Pokémon HOME]] allows one user to access all save files on the console. Therefore, Pokémon can be moved between save files on the same Switch without trading.

====Pokémon that cannot be traded====
=====Mid-generation additions=====
Starting with Generation IV, mid-generation releases started including new moves, items, forms, or even species of Pokémon. Since, prior to Generation VIII, they were impossible to trade to games that predate them, additional limitations have been put in place for them specifically. Most can be circumvented by altering the Pokémon's moveset, held item and/or form, and with the exception of the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]-related limitation, all of them have been lifted in their respective following Generations:

In Generation IV or V, new forms or items cannot be traded at all, even between games that support them. They include:
* Introduced in {{game|Platinum}}:
** New {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Shaymin}} forms, the Pokémon automatically revert to their original forms before they can be traded.
** The Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} must regain its Altered Forme by unequipping the [[Griseous Orb]] before it can be traded.
* Introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}:
** The [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]. Since it cannot change forms, it cannot be traded at all.
* Introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]:
** The [[forces of nature]] cannot be traded while in their Therian Formes, they must be returned to their Incarnate Formes by using the [[Reveal Glass]].
** Resolute Form {{p|Keldeo}} must revert to its Ordinary Form by forgetting {{m|Secret Sword}} before it can be traded.

In Generation VI and VII ([[3DS]] games only), Pokémon with new moves, as well as new forms, items, and species can be freely traded between games that support them, but cannot be sent back to those that predate them:
* Introduced in {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}, cannot be traded to {{game|X and Y|s}}:
** Pokémon holding new [[Mega Stone]]s or [[Colored orbs]].
** The [[Cosplay Pikachu]].
** While it can be traded to {{game|X and Y|s}}, Unbound {{p|Hoopa}} will automatically revert to its Confined form.
** Pokémon with {{m|Precipice Blades}}, {{m|Origin Pulse}}, {{m|Dragon Ascent}} and {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} can only be traded to X and Y if those moves are forgotten.
* Introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, cannot be traded to {{g|Sun and Moon}}:
** New species introduced in the games: {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, {{p|Blacephalon}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}.
** Partner Cap Pikachu, Rockruff with {{a|Own Tempo}} (which the game considers to be a new form) and Dusk Form Lycanroc.
** Pokémon with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{m|Plasma Fists}}, and {{m|Photon Geyser}} can only be traded to Sun and Moon if those moves are forgotten.

Starting with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], main series games no longer support direct trades between games that aren't paired releases, rendering this matter moot.

DLC packs for {{game|Sword and Shield|s}} and {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}} that introduce new moves, items, forms, and species, also come with free compatibility updates that are installed regardless of the purchase of said DLC, avoiding this issue completely.

=====Other cases=====
Pokémon with certain {{DL|Ribbon|Gift Ribbons}} (such as the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Classic Ribbon}}) cannot be traded over the GTS or through Wonder Trade.

Due to requiring special handling by the game, fused Pokémon cannot be traded. These are Black and White {{p|Kyurem}}, Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}} and Ice Rider and Shadow Rider {{p|Calyrex}}.

Due to being tied to a significant number of game mechanics in their respective games, {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and the befriended [[Koraidon (game)|Koraidon]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Miraidon (game)|Miraidon]]{{sup/9|V}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} cannot be traded. In both cases, the game offers means to catch additional specimens of the same species to which the restriction does not apply. Also, in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the currently selected [[walking Pokémon]] cannot be traded until it is deselected.

===Requirements for trading===
====Generation I====
The {{player}} cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Pallet Town]].

====Generation II====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before transporting the [[Mystery Egg]] to [[Professor Elm]]. The [[Time Capsule]] cannot be used until the player has met [[Bill]] at [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]], and waiting until the next day when setup is completed.

====Generation III====
In order for the player to be able to trade from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness; they need at least two (non-{{pkmn|Egg}}) Pokémon in their party. To be able to trade from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen to Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the player needs to help [[Celio]] upgrade the [[Pokémon Network Center]] to Link Level 2.

====={{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] at [[Littleroot Town]]. To trade with another game, the player must have at least two Pokémon in the party. Trading with FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald will automatically activate the National Pokédex.

====={{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from Professor Oak at Pallet Town. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party in order to trade with another game.

In a departure from the main series' tradition, additional limitations on trades were put in place, which cannot be lifted before completing the game at least once:
* At the beginning of the game, trades are only possible with other copies of FireRed and LeafGreen. In addition, trades involving Eggs or Pokémon not in the Kanto Pokédex are blocked. Pokémon that [[evolution|evolve]] into a [[Generation II]] Pokémon by trading will stop evolving.
* Obtaining the National Pokédex unblocks trades for Pokémon and Eggs outside of the Regional Pokédex.
* Bringing the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} Key Items to complete [[Celio]]'s {{DL|Pokémon Network Center|Network Machine}} allows trades with Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald versions, as well as with [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

=====[[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] at [[Littleroot Town]]. To trade with another game, the player must have at least two Pokémon in the party.

Restrictions similar to those in FireRed and LeafGreen also apply to this version:
* At the beginning of the game, trades are only possible with other copies of Emerald, as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]], Ruby and Sapphire. In addition to that, trades that involve Eggs or Pokémon that aren't in the Hoenn Pokédex are blocked unless Colosseum is trading non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon to Emerald.
* Obtaining the National Pokédex unblocks trades for Pokémon outside of the Regional Pokédex, as well as Eggs, and allows trading with FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as with [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

====Generation IV====
[[File:Platinum trade ball.png|frame|A trade in Generation IV]]
====={{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Rowan]] at [[Sandgem Town]]. Also, to trade with another game, the player has to have at least two Pokémon in the party. It is possible to obtain a non-regional Pokémon when trading Pokémon from another Generation IV game ''without'' having acquired the National Pokédex. In Platinum, the player is now able to press B to select the "CANCEL" button.

====={{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}=====
Similar to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, trading cannot occur until the player has obtained their Pokédex from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Mr. Pokémon|Mr. Pokémon's house]]. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party in order to trade with another game; but no additional prerequisite is needed to trade with the Sinnoh games: this can be done at the very beginning of the game.

====Generation V====
====={{2v2|Black|White}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon until they have obtained the {{badge|Trio}} from the [[Striaton Gym]] and completed the [[C-Gear]] sub-quest for [[Fennel]]. This prevents the player from trading for a Pokémon that knows {{m|Cut}} in order to access the blocked-off section of [[Dreamyard]] early, as [[HM]] usage is not restricted by [[Badge]] ownership in Unova.

The player is also prevented from trading party Pokémon that know any [[HM]] move via Infrared Connection, most likely to prevent trading away a Pokémon whose HM move is needed in a certain area. An example of this would be trading away any Pokémon in the party who know Fly or Surf while on a patch of land surrounded by water.

====={{2v2|Black|White|2}}=====
Similar to Black and White, the player cannot trade Pokémon until they have received the {{badge|Basic}} from the [[Aspertia Gym]] and have received the C-Gear from [[Bianca]]. There is no prerequisite to trade with Black and White.

====Generation VI====
====={{pkmn|X and Y}}=====
The player may trade Pokémon as soon as they have at least two Pokémon in their party, which is the minimum requirement for conducting a trade with another game.

====={{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}=====
The player must wait until they have obtained the {{DL|PokéNav Plus|PlayNav}} from [[Wally]] after helping him catch a Pokémon. The player must have two Pokémon in their party to trade.

====Generation VII====
====={{pkmn|Sun and Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}=====
The player must wait to trade Pokémon until they gain the Quick Link option in their [[menu]] upon their first visit to a [[Pokémon Center]], which will allow them to trade with someone nearby. In order to trade over the Internet (GTS, Wonder Trade, or Link Trade), the player must use [[Festival Plaza]], which is unlocked at the same time. The player may require at least two Pokémon in their party to trade with another game.

====={{pkmn|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}=====
The game's multiplayer features, including trades, are unlocked by delivering [[Professor Oak]] his [[Parcel]] and receiving [[Razz Berry|Razz Berries]] from him. Trading with another game requires having at least two Pokémon in the party and/or the Pokémon Box, [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|Partner Pokémon]] and [[walking Pokémon]] do not count and cannot be traded.

====Generation VIII====
====={{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}=====
The game's multiplayer features, including [[Y-Comm]], are unlocked once the player obtains a [[Dynamax Band]] from [[Professor Magnolia]] on [[Galar Route 2|Route 2]].

====={{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a Pokédex from [[Professor Rowan]] at [[Sandgem Town]]. Also, the player has to have at least two Pokémon in the party and/or the PC in order to trade with another game.

====={{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}=====
The game's online features, including trades, are unlocked after completing [[Task#Missions|Mission 4: "Getting to Work on Research Tasks"]].

===Pokémon that evolve when traded===
{{main|Trade Evolution}}
Several Pokémon evolve when traded. Most of the Pokémon that evolve when traded can only do so while holding a specific [[Evolution item]].

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
[[File:Stadium Trade.png|thumb|left|220px|In Pokémon Stadium]]
[[File:Stadium 2 Trade.png|thumb|220px|In Pokémon Stadium 2]]
The games in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] can connect to the [[core series]] games via the [[Transfer Pak]]. In the {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, the trade feature is found at the [[main menu]]. In [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, there is a trade machine in the {{OBP|Pokémon Lab|Stadium}}.

The Japanese Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium are compatible with the [[Generation I]] core series games. [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] is compatible with both Generation I and {{gen|II}} core series games.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
[[File:Pokémon Colo XD Trade.png|thumb|220px|A trade is happening with an eligible game.]]
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the player can trade Pokémon with the [[Generation III]] core series games after [[Evice]]{{sup/ss|Colo}} or [[Greevil]]{{sup/ss|XD}} has been defeated. It is not possible to directly trade between Colosseum and XD.

In the core series games, there is no data for [[Shadow Pokémon]] or [[Shadow move]]s, nor the ability to [[purification|purify]] these Pokémon. Only after a Shadow Pokémon is purified (changed back into normal) in its original game, it can be traded to the core series games.

Pokémon Colosseum and XD are unable to receive [[Pokémon Egg]]s, or any Pokémon holding a [[Mail]] item or an [[Enigma Berry]].

===My Pokémon Ranch===
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Hayley will only offer to trade with the player after they have completed a wanted request, and will only trade specific Pokémon and only if she has already brought one of them to the Ranch.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Trading items====
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], items can be traded through a link cable{{sup/md|R}}/wireless communication from the [[main menu]].

====Trade Evolutions====
{{main|Trade Evolution|section=Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series}}

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the [[trade Evolution]]s (such as {{p|Pichu}} evolving into {{p|Pikachu}}) are triggered by:
* Using the {{MD evo item|Link Cable}} by itself.{{sup/md|rb}}{{sup/md|tds}}{{sup/md|gti}}
* Using the Link Cable with other available items that may be needed (such as the {{MD evo item|Metal Coat}}).{{sup/md|rb}}{{sup/md|tds}}
* No requirement.{{sup/md|smd}}
* {{MD evo item|Evolution Crystal|Evolution Crystals|g=RTDX}}.{{sup/md|dx}}

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Trade (GO)}}
In {{g|GO}}, players are able to trade with registered {{OBP|Friends|GO}}. Trading Pokémon yields {{OBP|Candy|GO}} for the traded Pokémon, but also require a certain amount of {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} for each trade.

==In animation==
[[File:Trade machine JN.png|thumb|250px|A [[trade machine]] in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Despite it being one of the key aspects of the games, trading is exceptionally rare in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. Only a few trades have been shown taking place, and only seven of them thus far have been significant. Many of them take place in episodes featuring the [[Magikarp salesman]]. Rather than simply exchanging Pokémon, most trades are carried out by placing [[Poké Ball]]s into a specialized [[Trade machine|trading machine]], with a monitor that displays silhouettes of the two Pokémon as they pass each other.

The trade machine used in the animated series has seemingly been adapted into the game canon, with [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in both [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{g|Stadium 2}} having this type of machine for trades. In the same way, when Game Link Cables were finally able to accept the data of two Pokémon being sent at once (rather than one at a time as in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}}), the Pokémon are shown passing each other in the link space.

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|Trades in other mangas}}
[[File:Silver Seadra.png|thumb|200px|A trade made using Pokédexes in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Like the animated series, [[Pokémon Adventures]] does not contain many trades despite being a major part of the games. Most are not shown to need a machine to complete them. Simply hand-exchanging Pokémon can count as a trade, though it is also possible to trade by placing [[Pokédex]]es opposite each other.

A '''trade''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|交換|こうかん}}}}''' ''exchange''), also known as a '''Link Trade''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|通信交換|つうしんこうかん}}}}''' ''Link Exchange''), is a process in which a [[Pokémon Trainer]] sends one of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to another Trainer in exchange for one of the other Trainer's Pokémon.

==In the core series games==
In every [[core series]] Pokémon game except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], trading is necessary to collect all the [[Pokémon availability|available Pokémon]]. The [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] are those that are found in other related games. In addition, some Pokémon [[trade Evolution|evolve when traded]]. Some of these Pokémon need to be [[held item|holding]] a specific [[Evolution item]] in order to evolve.

Starting from [[Generation II]], [[item]]s can be held by Pokémon, allowing indirect trading of holdable items. However, in Generation IV, the [[Griseous Orb]] cannot be traded, as it will automatically be put back in the Bag when a player with Origin Forme Giratina in their party enters the Union Room or Wi-Fi Room. [[Mail]] may also be held to send a message.

Until {{B2W2}}, all trading animations in the [[core series]] games used the standard {{i|Poké Ball}}, regardless of the types of Balls the traded Pokémon were actually caught in. This is corrected in Black 2 and White 2, in which trade animations show the correct Poké Ball the Pokémon was caught in.

===Results of trading===
====Benefits====
[[File:SM Prerelease Trade.png|thumb|200px|Trading a {{p|Togedemaru}} for a {{p|Pikipek}} in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}]]
Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as some Pokémon [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|can only be found]] in certain versions. For example, because {{p|Meowth}} cannot be found in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Red}}, the player must trade with someone who has obtained one from Blue, in which Meowth is readily found in the wild. Some Pokémon only [[trade Evolution|evolve after being traded]].

Traded Pokémon gain 1.5× the normal [[experience]] after a [[Pokémon battle]]. Pokémon traded from a game in another language will gain 1.7× experience.

Trading may also be used to transfer limited and rare items in games from [[Generation II]] onward, such as [[Master Ball]]s or [[Soul Dew]]s, from one game to another by [[Held item|giving a Pokémon an item]].

In [[Generation VI]], Trainers receive [[Poké Mile]]s for every trade made with another player. In [[Generation VII]], Trainers may receive [[Pokémon Dollar#Other currencies|Festival Coin]]s instead.

====Drawbacks====
A Pokémon with an [[original Trainer]] different from its current Trainer is referred to as an [[outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a Trainer with the sufficient number of [[Badge|Gym Badges]] or [[Island challenge|Stamps]]. The [[friendship]] of a Pokémon is set to its [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] when it is traded from one game to another, unless returned to its original Trainer in [[Generation VI]] or later. In addition, a traded Pokémon's nickname cannot be changed by anyone but the original Trainer, even if it hasn't been given a nickname (however, in Gen VIII, outsider Pokémon without nicknames can be nicknamed).

Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five- or six-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]]. Starting in [[Generation III]], even if two games have the same name and ID number, each Trainer also has a [[secret ID number]]. The odds of two Trainers having the same secret ID numbers is 1/65536 or approximately 0.002%, making it extremely unlikely that an outsider Pokémon will be treated as a regular Pokémon on a different cartridge.

While beneficial in their own right, trade-induced [[evolution]]s cannot be cancelled manually, requiring Pokémon that evolve when traded without a specific held item to hold an [[Everstone]] in order to stay in their current form. In [[Generation IV]] and onwards, however, the Everstone fails to prevent a traded {{p|Kadabra}} from evolving into {{p|Alakazam}}.

===Trading process===
====Generations I-IV====
The actual trading interface remained largely the same throughout the series's first four generations: Each player selects one Pokémon from their party to offer for trade; once decided, they can review the [[stats]] (and, when applicable, [[Ability]] or [[item]]) of the other Pokémon before confirming or cancelling the trade. The player may perform multiple trades in a row.

It is not possible to trade Pokémon stored in the [[PC]] in these generations, so they must be placed in the party prior to speaking with the receptionist at a Pokémon Center.

Generation IV's [[Global Trade System]] utilized a separate trading process, in which players deposited one Pokémon at a time (requesting another Pokémon in exchange) and other players searched and traded for them at their leisure. Once traded, the original player received the Pokémon upon logging in to the GTS. If the Pokémon was not traded, the original player was able to cancel the offer by withdrawing their Pokémon from the GTS. Due to the Wi-Fi shutdown, this feature is no longer officially supported as of May 20, 2014.

====Generation V====
{{anchor|Negotiation Trade}}
The trading process received an overhaul in Generation V: now called a '''Negotiation Trade''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ネゴシエーション{{tt|交換|こうかん}}}}''' ''Negotiation Exchange''), it allows players to offer and trade Pokémon from either their current party or directly from their PC's storage system.

During the trade, each player may select up to three Pokémon to offer the other player. Once decided, they may review the offered Pokémon (checking stats, Ability, etc.) and confirm one to be traded. Players may trade several Pokémon in a row if desired.

Players registered on each other's [[Pal Pad]] can communicate with live voice chat during the trade. A set of four emoticons (Smile Mark, Saddened Mark, Heart Mark, Surprise Mark) also allows for limited communication between players. In addition to showing the Pokémon on offer, the top screen also includes an abstract glimpse of the other player's Pokémon collection in the form of PC boxes with individual Pokémon represented by their [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]].

The GTS, in addition to the deposit/search-based system introduced in Generation IV, receives a second trading mode ("GTS Negotiations") allowing two players to connect and trade Pokémon using this system. Like Generation IV, Generation V's GTS was shut down in 2014.

====Generation VI====
Trading functions (including the GTS) are no longer a service of Pokémon Centers, but are instead accessible at any time through the [[Player Search System]] on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s lower screen.

The trading process has been streamlined since Generation V, with each player showing only one Pokémon at a time (instead of three) before being prompted to make an offer. Chat emoticons have been removed, but voice chat is still available when the player trades with someone on their 3DS's Friends List.

The GTS has also been updated, now allowing the player to enter the species name of any Pokémon using a "What Pokémon?" option in the Pokémon selection list. This allows players to trade for Pokémon that they have not seen in the game.

A third trading method, called [[Wonder Trade]], is introduced this generation: when performing a Wonder Trade, the player selects one of their Pokémon and it is immediately traded with another player using Wonder Trade, with no further confirmation or any communication between players, meaning that the Pokémon the player receives in exchange for theirs is a complete surprise.

====Generation VII====
The PSS has been replaced and split between the [[Quick Link]] and [[Festival Plaza]] options in the [[menu]]. Quick Link allows for players to locally trade Pokémon, while the Festival Plaza allows for trading through the Internet. The GTS and Wonder Trade are usable while in the Festival Plaza.

The GTS is similar to its Generation VI counterpart, though filtering has been adjusted and searching for a Pokémon by letter will now show that Pokémon's icon next to its name.

===Limitations on trading===
====Trading between game generations====
Pokémon can be traded between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] feature. For compatibility purposes, the Pokémon to be traded from the Generation II game must be {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|a species that existed in Generation I}} and cannot have any {{cat|Generation II moves|moves introduced in Generation II}}. The [[Time Capsule exploit]] can be used to trick the game into trading {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} back to [[Generation I]] as well, but they will become [[glitch Pokémon]] like [[MissingNo.]]. Additionally, the {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|trade Evolution learnset oversight}} can also be used to trade a Pokémon with a Generation II move back to a Generation I game, though it will become a [[glitch move]]. This is the only instance in the series in which players can directly trade Pokémon using games in different generations ({{g|HOME}} allows trading Pokémon last used in different generations, but only within HOME itself).

It is not officially possible to trade between Generation II and [[Generation III]] games.

Starting in [[Generation IV]], Pokémon from previous generations can be [[transfer]]red to newer generations (and from [[Generation IX]] back to [[Generation VIII]]) through a variety of methods, though none of them involve trading.

====Inter-language trading====
=====Generation I and II=====
In the Generation I and II core series games, Western language games (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) can all trade with each other without issue. Attempting to trade between Japanese and non-Japanese Generation I and II core series games causes corruption of both save files.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20221009111851/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#erasing</ref>

The Korean versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver can successfully trade with Western language Generation I and II games (but not Japanese games). However, due the [[Character encoding (Generation II)|character encoding]] differences, {{wp|Hangul}} characters (i.e. in the names of traded Pokémon and their Original Trainers) will become garbled on Western language games, possibly including control characters which may have unexpected effects. However, unlike attempting to trade between Western and Japanese games, save data is not corrupted. Conversely, attempting to trade between Japanese and Korean games will corrupt both games' save files.

In the Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II games, different language Western Virtual Console games can communicate; however, Japanese, Korean, and Western games cannot connect to each other at all. In the Korean Virtual Console release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, this effectively makes the [[Time Capsule]] and [[Diploma]] inaccessible barring glitches.

In these games, a Pokémon is determined to be [[nickname]]d if its name does not match its species name. As a result, if an unnicknamed Pokémon is traded to a game in a different language where the Pokémon's species has a different name, its name will be treated as nickname. For example, in an English Generation I or II game, a foreign {{p|Pichu}} named "PICHU" will evolve into a {{p|Pikachu}} nicknamed "PIKACHU", but a foreign {{p|Charmander}} named "[[List of French Pokémon names|SALAMECHE]]" will retain the name "SALAMECHE" after evolving into a {{p|Charmeleon}} as if it were a nickname. Because these games do not track [[language of origin]], if a traded Pokémon from Generation I or II is sent to the [[Pokémon Bank]] via the [[Poké Transporter]], its language of origin is determined based on the game from which the Pokémon is transferred, not the game from which it originally came.

=====Generation III=====
In the Generation III core series games, trading became possible between all versions of the games.

In Japanese, Pokémon and Trainer names have a 5 character limit, in contrast to the 10 character limit in Western language games. If a Pokémon whose name or Original Trainer is longer than 5 characters is traded to a Japanese game, in the Japanese game it will only display the first 5 characters.

In [[Generation III]] (except in v1.0 of English {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}), if a Pokémon originates from a different language to the current game, when it evolves its name will not be changed, with the old name treated as a nickname; thus, if a {{p|Pichu}} named "PICHU" from an Italian game is evolved in an English game, when it evolves it will be a {{p|Pikachu}} nicknamed "PICHU". In v1.0 of English Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, like in the Generation I and II games, if a Pokémon's current name is the same as its species name in the language of the game in which it was evolved, it will be treated as unnicknamed, so its species name will change upon evolution.

=====Generation IV=====
In the Generation IV core series games, with the advent of worldwide online trading via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], trading between different languages is better supported. All languages except Korean can freely trade with each other without issue.

Due to Pokémon Korea and Nintendo of Korea debuting after the initial release of Generation IV, no non-Korean Generation IV games support {{wp|Hangul}} characters. This prevents Korean language games from trading with Generation IV games in other languages. However, Korean language games can migrate Pokémon from Generation III games of any language.

If an unnicknamed Pokémon evolves, its name is changed to the name of its species after evolution in its current game's language (regardless of its [[language of origin]]). In these games, there is a separate flag to indicate whether a Pokémon is nicknamed.

Pokémon from foreign-language games unlock [[foreign Pokédex entries]] if traded to a game of a different language. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, foreign Pokédex entries can only be obtained for 14 specific Pokémon; in {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, foreign Pokédex entries can be unlocked for all Pokémon.

=====Generation V onwards=====
Starting in Generation V, Pokémon can be traded between all games, regardless of language.

From Generation IV to VII, if an unnicknamed Pokémon evolves or a Pokémon hatches without being given a nickname, its name becomes the name of its species in its current game's language (regardless of its [[language of origin]]). For example, a French {{p|Bulbasaur}} without a nickname that evolves in an English-language game will evolve into an {{p|Ivysaur}} named "Ivysaur", but will still be flagged as a French-language Pokémon and will unlock the corresponding foreign Pokédex entries for Ivysaur and {{p|Venusaur}} as it evolves.

In Generation VIII onwards, if an unnicknamed Pokémon evolves, its name will change to that of the evolved form in its [[language of origin]]. For example, a French Bulbasaur without a nickname that evolves in an English-language game will evolve into an Ivysaur named "Herbizarre".

====Hardware requirements====
Trading requires two game consoles and two Pokémon games of compatible generations. Nintendo's intention is that players trade with friends, although some serious players purchase multiple consoles.

Prior to {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, trading required a [[Game Link Cable]]. {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} can trade using a [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] or a Game Link Cable. From [[Generation IV]] onwards, trading uses wireless communication and does not require additional hardware beyond two consoles. Although the Nintendo DS supports [[Generation III]] games, it cannot be used to trade between those games as the DS lacks hardware support for the Game Link Cable.

The [[Nintendo Switch]] allows multiple users to use a single console, and the Switch version of [[Pokémon HOME]] allows one user to access all save files on the console. Therefore, Pokémon can be moved between save files on the same Switch without trading.

====Pokémon that cannot be traded====
=====Mid-generation additions=====
Starting with Generation IV, mid-generation releases started including new moves, items, forms, or even species of Pokémon. Since, prior to Generation VIII, they were impossible to trade to games that predate them, additional limitations have been put in place for them specifically. Most can be circumvented by altering the Pokémon's moveset, held item and/or form, and with the exception of the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]-related limitation, all of them have been lifted in their respective following Generations:

In Generation IV or V, new forms or items cannot be traded at all, even between games that support them. They include:
* Introduced in {{game|Platinum}}:
** New {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Shaymin}} forms, the Pokémon automatically revert to their original forms before they can be traded.
** The Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} must regain its Altered Forme by unequipping the [[Griseous Orb]] before it can be traded.
* Introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}:
** The [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]. Since it cannot change forms, it cannot be traded at all.
* Introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]:
** The [[forces of nature]] cannot be traded while in their Therian Formes, they must be returned to their Incarnate Formes by using the [[Reveal Glass]].
** Resolute Form {{p|Keldeo}} must revert to its Ordinary Form by forgetting {{m|Secret Sword}} before it can be traded.

In Generation VI and VII ([[3DS]] games only), Pokémon with new moves, as well as new forms, items, and species can be freely traded between games that support them, but cannot be sent back to those that predate them:
* Introduced in {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}, cannot be traded to {{game|X and Y|s}}:
** Pokémon holding new [[Mega Stone]]s or [[Colored orbs]].
** The [[Cosplay Pikachu]].
** While it can be traded to {{game|X and Y|s}}, Unbound {{p|Hoopa}} will automatically revert to its Confined form.
** Pokémon with {{m|Precipice Blades}}, {{m|Origin Pulse}}, {{m|Dragon Ascent}} and {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} can only be traded to X and Y if those moves are forgotten.
* Introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, cannot be traded to {{g|Sun and Moon}}:
** New species introduced in the games: {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, {{p|Blacephalon}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}.
** Partner Cap Pikachu, Rockruff with {{a|Own Tempo}} (which the game considers to be a new form) and Dusk Form Lycanroc.
** Pokémon with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{m|Plasma Fists}}, and {{m|Photon Geyser}} can only be traded to Sun and Moon if those moves are forgotten.

Starting with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], main series games no longer support direct trades between games that aren't paired releases, rendering this matter moot.

DLC packs for {{game|Sword and Shield|s}} and {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}} that introduce new moves, items, forms, and species, also come with free compatibility updates that are installed regardless of the purchase of said DLC, avoiding this issue completely.

=====Other cases=====
Pokémon with certain {{DL|Ribbon|Gift Ribbons}} (such as the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Classic Ribbon}}) cannot be traded over the GTS or through Wonder Trade.

Due to requiring special handling by the game, fused Pokémon cannot be traded. These are Black and White {{p|Kyurem}}, Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}} and Ice Rider and Shadow Rider {{p|Calyrex}}.

Due to being tied to a significant number of game mechanics in their respective games, {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and the befriended [[Koraidon (game)|Koraidon]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Miraidon (game)|Miraidon]]{{sup/9|V}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} cannot be traded. In both cases, the game offers means to catch additional specimens of the same species to which the restriction does not apply. Also, in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the currently selected [[walking Pokémon]] cannot be traded until it is deselected.

===Requirements for trading===
====Generation I====
The {{player}} cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Pallet Town]].

====Generation II====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before transporting the [[Mystery Egg]] to [[Professor Elm]]. The [[Time Capsule]] cannot be used until the player has met [[Bill]] at [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]], and waiting until the next day when setup is completed.

====Generation III====
In order for the player to be able to trade from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness; they need at least two (non-{{pkmn|Egg}}) Pokémon in their party. To be able to trade from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen to Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the player needs to help [[Celio]] upgrade the [[Pokémon Network Center]] to Link Level 2.

====={{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] at [[Littleroot Town]]. To trade with another game, the player must have at least two Pokémon in the party. Trading with FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald will automatically activate the National Pokédex.

====={{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from Professor Oak at Pallet Town. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party in order to trade with another game.

In a departure from the main series' tradition, additional limitations on trades were put in place, which cannot be lifted before completing the game at least once:
* At the beginning of the game, trades are only possible with other copies of FireRed and LeafGreen. In addition, trades involving Eggs or Pokémon not in the Kanto Pokédex are blocked. Pokémon that [[evolution|evolve]] into a [[Generation II]] Pokémon by trading will stop evolving.
* Obtaining the National Pokédex unblocks trades for Pokémon and Eggs outside of the Regional Pokédex.
* Bringing the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} Key Items to complete [[Celio]]'s {{DL|Pokémon Network Center|Network Machine}} allows trades with Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald versions, as well as with [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

=====[[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] at [[Littleroot Town]]. To trade with another game, the player must have at least two Pokémon in the party.

Restrictions similar to those in FireRed and LeafGreen also apply to this version:
* At the beginning of the game, trades are only possible with other copies of Emerald, as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]], Ruby and Sapphire. In addition to that, trades that involve Eggs or Pokémon that aren't in the Hoenn Pokédex are blocked unless Colosseum is trading non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon to Emerald.
* Obtaining the National Pokédex unblocks trades for Pokémon outside of the Regional Pokédex, as well as Eggs, and allows trading with FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as with [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

====Generation IV====
[[File:Platinum trade ball.png|frame|A trade in Generation IV]]
====={{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Rowan]] at [[Sandgem Town]]. Also, to trade with another game, the player has to have at least two Pokémon in the party. It is possible to obtain a non-regional Pokémon when trading Pokémon from another Generation IV game ''without'' having acquired the National Pokédex. In Platinum, the player is now able to press B to select the "CANCEL" button.

====={{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}=====
Similar to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, trading cannot occur until the player has obtained their Pokédex from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Mr. Pokémon|Mr. Pokémon's house]]. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party in order to trade with another game; but no additional prerequisite is needed to trade with the Sinnoh games: this can be done at the very beginning of the game.

====Generation V====
====={{2v2|Black|White}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon until they have obtained the {{badge|Trio}} from the [[Striaton Gym]] and completed the [[C-Gear]] sub-quest for [[Fennel]]. This prevents the player from trading for a Pokémon that knows {{m|Cut}} in order to access the blocked-off section of [[Dreamyard]] early, as [[HM]] usage is not restricted by [[Badge]] ownership in Unova.

The player is also prevented from trading party Pokémon that know any [[HM]] move via Infrared Connection, most likely to prevent trading away a Pokémon whose HM move is needed in a certain area. An example of this would be trading away any Pokémon in the party who know Fly or Surf while on a patch of land surrounded by water.

====={{2v2|Black|White|2}}=====
Similar to Black and White, the player cannot trade Pokémon until they have received the {{badge|Basic}} from the [[Aspertia Gym]] and have received the C-Gear from [[Bianca]]. There is no prerequisite to trade with Black and White.

====Generation VI====
====={{pkmn|X and Y}}=====
The player may trade Pokémon as soon as they have at least two Pokémon in their party, which is the minimum requirement for conducting a trade with another game.

====={{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}=====
The player must wait until they have obtained the {{DL|PokéNav Plus|PlayNav}} from [[Wally]] after helping him catch a Pokémon. The player must have two Pokémon in their party to trade.

====Generation VII====
====={{pkmn|Sun and Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}=====
The player must wait to trade Pokémon until they gain the Quick Link option in their [[menu]] upon their first visit to a [[Pokémon Center]], which will allow them to trade with someone nearby. In order to trade over the Internet (GTS, Wonder Trade, or Link Trade), the player must use [[Festival Plaza]], which is unlocked at the same time. The player may require at least two Pokémon in their party to trade with another game.

====={{pkmn|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}=====
The game's multiplayer features, including trades, are unlocked by delivering [[Professor Oak]] his [[Parcel]] and receiving [[Razz Berry|Razz Berries]] from him. Trading with another game requires having at least two Pokémon in the party and/or the Pokémon Box, [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|Partner Pokémon]] and [[walking Pokémon]] do not count and cannot be traded.

====Generation VIII====
====={{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}=====
The game's multiplayer features, including [[Y-Comm]], are unlocked once the player obtains a [[Dynamax Band]] from [[Professor Magnolia]] on [[Galar Route 2|Route 2]].

====={{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a Pokédex from [[Professor Rowan]] at [[Sandgem Town]]. Also, the player has to have at least two Pokémon in the party and/or the PC in order to trade with another game.

====={{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}=====
The game's online features, including trades, are unlocked after completing [[Task#Missions|Mission 5: "A Request from Mai"]].

===Pokémon that evolve when traded===
{{main|Trade Evolution}}
Several Pokémon evolve when traded. Most of the Pokémon that evolve when traded can only do so while holding a specific [[Evolution item]].

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
[[File:Stadium Trade.png|thumb|left|220px|In Pokémon Stadium]]
[[File:Stadium 2 Trade.png|thumb|220px|In Pokémon Stadium 2]]
The games in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] can connect to the [[core series]] games via the [[Transfer Pak]]. In the {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, the trade feature is found at the [[main menu]]. In [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, there is a trade machine in the {{OBP|Pokémon Lab|Stadium}}.

The Japanese Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium are compatible with the [[Generation I]] core series games. [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] is compatible with both Generation I and {{gen|II}} core series games.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
[[File:Pokémon Colo XD Trade.png|thumb|220px|A trade is happening with an eligible game.]]
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the player can trade Pokémon with the [[Generation III]] core series games after [[Evice]]{{sup/ss|Colo}} or [[Greevil]]{{sup/ss|XD}} has been defeated. It is not possible to directly trade between Colosseum and XD.

In the core series games, there is no data for [[Shadow Pokémon]] or [[Shadow move]]s, nor the ability to [[purification|purify]] these Pokémon. Only after a Shadow Pokémon is purified (changed back into normal) in its original game, it can be traded to the core series games.

Pokémon Colosseum and XD are unable to receive [[Pokémon Egg]]s, or any Pokémon holding a [[Mail]] item or an [[Enigma Berry]].

===My Pokémon Ranch===
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Hayley will only offer to trade with the player after they have completed a wanted request, and will only trade specific Pokémon and only if she has already brought one of them to the Ranch.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Trading items====
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], items can be traded through a link cable{{sup/md|R}}/wireless communication from the [[main menu]].

====Trade Evolutions====
{{main|Trade Evolution|section=Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series}}

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the [[trade Evolution]]s (such as {{p|Pichu}} evolving into {{p|Pikachu}}) are triggered by:
* Using the {{MD evo item|Link Cable}} by itself.{{sup/md|rb}}{{sup/md|tds}}{{sup/md|gti}}
* Using the Link Cable with other available items that may be needed (such as the {{MD evo item|Metal Coat}}).{{sup/md|rb}}{{sup/md|tds}}
* No requirement.{{sup/md|smd}}
* {{MD evo item|Evolution Crystal|Evolution Crystals|g=RTDX}}.{{sup/md|dx}}

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Trade (GO)}}
In {{g|GO}}, players are able to trade with registered {{OBP|Friends|GO}}. Trading Pokémon yields {{OBP|Candy|GO}} for the traded Pokémon, but also require a certain amount of {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} for each trade.

==In animation==
[[File:Trade machine JN.png|thumb|250px|A [[trade machine]] in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Despite it being one of the key aspects of the games, trading is exceptionally rare in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. Only a few trades have been shown taking place, and only seven of them thus far have been significant. Many of them take place in episodes featuring the [[Magikarp salesman]]. Rather than simply exchanging Pokémon, most trades are carried out by placing [[Poké Ball]]s into a specialized [[Trade machine|trading machine]], with a monitor that displays silhouettes of the two Pokémon as they pass each other.

The trade machine used in the animated series has seemingly been adapted into the game canon, with [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in both [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{g|Stadium 2}} having this type of machine for trades. In the same way, when Game Link Cables were finally able to accept the data of two Pokémon being sent at once (rather than one at a time as in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}}), the Pokémon are shown passing each other in the link space.

[[File:Silver Seadra.png|thumb|200px|A trade made using Pokédexes in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Like the animated series, [[Pokémon Adventures]] does not contain many trades despite being a major part of the games. Most are not shown to need a machine to complete them. Simply hand-exchanging Pokémon can count as a trade, though it is also possible to trade by placing [[Pokédex]]es opposite each other.

== Masters model of Gigantamax Pokémon ==
I've seen that you have been adding/updating some of the images from Pokémon Masters EX. I was wondering if you could add models of the Gigantamax forms of Pokémon from Masters EX. Right now the images that I have been using for the Dynamax page are the official artwork of the G-Max Pokémon, not the models of the Gigantamax Pokémon in Masters EX. Also, the images that I have been using for the G-Max page are from Pokémon Home. I would like the images to be actually from the game, so if it is possible, could you please get the models of the Gigantamax Pokémon from Masters?

If you do upload the images, please tell me so I can update the pages myself, that way you won't have to update the pages yourself. I know you are busy with editing other pages, so I wouldn't mind lightening the workload on that small task. [[User:TBR2001]] ([[User talk:TBR2001|talk]]) 22:35, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

:Unfortunately all the "models" I have are the ones that appear in the in-game menus, since those are actually just sprites. Gigantamax forms only appear during the Max Move/G-Max Move cutscenes, not menus. I don't know how to extract or construct the models myself, so the best I could do is take screenshots of the Pokémon before they use their moves. If that's acceptable, I could get a screenshot of every Gigantamax Pokémon except Pikachu. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 00:37, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

::It's alright, I think it is better to leave it the way it is. Otherwise, the background will look jarring when you compare them to their original forms, which have no background. However, I could add the screenshots of the Gigantamax Pokémon to the Gigantamax page if you still want to take those screenshots. [[User:TBR2001|TBR2001]] ([[User talk:TBR2001|talk]]) 00:52, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

== Neo Champion tournaments ==

In your edit summary, you mentioned that every tournament has featured a rival beating a player character (Calem beating Serena, Hop/Bede/Marnie beating Gloria/Victor, and Blue beating Leaf). However, I don't think it makes sense to count both Calem/Serena and Blue/Leaf at the same time.

The character based on the player character in the Kanto games is Red, so it feels weird to count Blue beating Leaf just because you can play as her in the games when the same is also true for Calem. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 20:00, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
:OK, I'll give you that, the Kanto NC tournament doesn't really feature a rival beating the player character because Red is the clear canon protag from the Kanto games. However, I maintain that saying it happens "often" is still accurate if it happens in 2 out of 3 tournaments. Perhaps we could combine the two statements? "Every tournament to date has featured only [[player character]]s and [[rival]]s, and they often feature a rival triumphing over a player character." [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 03:25, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

== about the images of the characters ==

[[User:Hikaru_Wazana/Masters_Eight#Gallery]]

Should the size of these images be like this? I found the quality and resolution of the images a little low. Do you have them in a better size?--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 17:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
: Yeah, they should be bigger. I have them at 1457x2048, but when converted to .png the file size is too large to be uploaded to the Archives (they're .jpgs when I download them from Twitter). I can try saving them with more compression and see if that gets the file sizes smaller. If I can get them small enough to upload, would you like me to replace the images you uploaded with them? [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 18:45, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
::I use https://imagecompressor.com/ to compress, been quite handy.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 19:03, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
::::Yes, I will upload it, Storm. If you prefer, you can send me the images via discord in a personal message, and I will try to help.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 19:40, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
:::::Sounds good. I'll look into it when I get home from work. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 20:09, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
::::::Compressed and DM'ed to you, Hikaru. Thanks for the website suggestion, BigDocFan - it was super effective at compressing the images! [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 23:29, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

== Creating templates ==

This is going to be ambitious and complicated. Yet, I thank you for reading this comment! As I stated in FinnishPokéFan92's talk page, I wish to create templates that show attributes of moves and sync moves featured in Pokémon Masters EX, please. (Examples: the following link's two blocks for [[Aeroblast_(move)#Pok.C3.A9mon_Masters_EX|Aeroblast]].) How much are able to teach me? I appreciate any knowledge and experience that you are willing to share! [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 15:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
:Well, the way I learned to create templates is by looking at other templates to see how they work! [[Template:MastersEventInfobox]] and [[Template:MastersMissionTable]] are good examples of what you can do with templates (I created both of those myself, so I might be biased :P). [[:Category:Other templates]] has some templates for attacks in other spin-offs, so that might be a good place to start building the specific template you have in mind. If you click the "edit this page" or "view source" button on a template page, you can view the source code and see how it's constructed.
:A couple basic tips to help with reading template code: parameters are denoted with triple curly braces, like <code>{{{this}}}</code>. If there's a word in between the braces, that parameter is a named parameter, so you'll have to specify the name of the parameter in the template call (i.e. <code><nowiki>{{incomplete|needs=Missing image}}</nowiki></code>). If there's a number in between the braces, that's an unnamed parameter, which just need to be placed in a specific order in the template call. For example, the 2nd parameter in the template call is automatically passed to the <code>{{{2}}}</code> parameter. Lastly, if you see a parameter like <code><nowiki>{{{this|example}}}</nowiki></code>, "example" is the default value of the "this" parameter. If you don't specify a value for "this", then "example" will be used by default. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 18:54, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
::This next part is going to make me look ignorant, but first, I thank you for all the info that you gave to me in your messages! So, I am told that I should create a new template in a user subpage, and I do that by "mak[ing] an article at User:<yourname>/<pagename>." I can find my own talk and user pages, and I know how to make a new section, but I'm afraid that making a user subpage is out of my element now. So, how I find this ''User:<yourname>/<pagename>''? I am confident that your expertise in user subpages will be a wonderful guiding star! [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 06:32, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
:::Oh, it's the same as making a new page! There are a few ways to do that:
:::* Type the name of the page into any editing form, put brackets around it, and preview your edit. Click on the link you created, and it'll automatically bring you to the page creation form.
:::* Type the name of the page into the search bar and click "search". A prompt will appear at the top of the search list giving you the option to create the page.
:::* Edit the URL of the page directly, typing the name of the page after "/wiki/". Make sure you use underscores instead of spaces, though.
:::So, you just create a page called "User:<yourname>/<pagename>" and the wiki will recognize it as a subpage of your user page. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 21:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
::::I thank you so much for all that information, Storm Aurora! Soon, I will use these facts to make my first template! [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 23:37, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
:::::Not a problem, good luck! And you can just call me Storm~ [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 02:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
::::::As I was removing some of my tool tips, I have created my first finished template. It is located here: {{red link|User:Solemn_Mac/MG_Slot|link}}. So, how do I get it approved for general use? [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 16:04, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
{{indent}}First things first, userspace pages/templates shouldn't use categories intended for mainspace pages, so I've gone ahead and hidden the category on that template for you. Second, it needs to be reviewed and approved by staff. Normally that's done by putting {{template|mainspace}} on the page with the <code><nowiki>{{{status}}}</nowiki></code> parameter set to <code>complete</code>, but since you've brought it up to me directly, I can look it over for you.

My primary concern about this template is where/how you intend it to be used. If it's just going to be used in a template for Masters moves, it's best to just paste the code you're using for this template into the other template, rather than calling a template within the other template (that ends up inflating the include size of the other template).

I also don't think it's necessary to use a switch statement here. When the only difference between the options is a single word (one, two, three, or four), it's simpler to just make that word the parameter so that you're just inserting that word into the file name (<code><nowiki>[[File:Move gauge {{{1|four}}} slots.png]]</nowiki></code>). As for the slot/slots thing, we could change the image names so that they're all using the same name scheme (<code>Move gauge one slot</code>, <code>Move gauge two slot</code>, etc. or <code>Move gauge one slots</code>, <code>Move gauge two slots</code>, etc.) or use an if statement to determine if "slot" or "slots" is used. The if statement is cheaper to use performance-wise, since it's just one comparison compared to four or five for the switch statement. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 21:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
:I can tell that these templates don't look promising now. You are probably believing that they will harm Pokémon Masters EX's image. I assure you that I will use your feedback to make templates that '''bolster''' this game's impression! How does that sound? With all sincerity, [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 16:15, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

: Excuse me, Storm. Is this a bad day to ask you some questions? [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 12:59, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
::Nah, other people have the new information from the Presents under control. What's up? [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 15:20, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

:::Thank you! One, how do I delete a needless template? Two, how can I limit a parameter's values (e.g., numbers 11-21 or five certain strings)? [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 17:12, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
::::To answer your first question, most users can't delete pages (including template pages); that ability is restricted to admin or higher staff members. You'll need to put the {{template|delete}} template at the top of the page you want deleted, and an admin will come by later and delete it for you. To answer your second question, there's no way to limit a parameter's values; if the template doesn't work with a certain value, it doesn't work. Editors need to be careful that they're using acceptable values for the templates they call. Template documentation exists to help users know what the acceptable values for a parameter are. {{template|MastersRoleCell}} and {{template|MastersMissionTable}} are good examples of templates that require specific values for some of their parameters, and they have good documentation to help editors use them properly. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 19:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

== SV Adventures ==

Regarding [[Special:Diff/3897097]], I meant to say that while most other media (games, anime, etc) have depicted only one academy, and the academies are mostly depicted as exclusive to each other, Adventures was the first where both were confirmed to exist within the same continuity.

:Since I can't read Japanese, I don't know how much is said about Naranja Academy other than the fact that Scarlet supposedly transferred from there, and I don't think the academy itself appeared. So I don't know if it's really been "confirmed to exist", and I'd rather play it safe in case there's a plot twist that Naranja Academy isn't the school she transferred from or something.

== Template:Masters ==

Since you work on Masters pages the most, I thought I'd bring this to you. I wrote up [[Special:Redirect/page/301484|documentation for the Masters Pokémon template]].

:Looks good overall. The suggestions I'd make are:
:* In the "ndex" and "ndex2" parameter notes, it'd make more sense to link to the category for Masters Pokémon models. The suffixes should all be the same, but there are fewer Masters models to click through, so it's easier to find the specific Pokémon you're looking for. It also wouldn't hurt to mention something about the fact that the numbers should be padded to 4 digits (we recently moved all the Masters models and icons to use 4-digit padding).
:* There are no unknown type Pokémon or moves in Masters, so "Unknown" doesn't need to be listed as an allowed value for parameters involving type.
:* An explanation of the "moveX" parameter would be helpful. I think it's currently only used for Gladion, but if somebody ever forms a sync pair with Arceus, this parameter would probably be used for them too.
:* For the "base" parameter, the inputs aren't entirely self-explanatory, so it'd be helpful to explain the difference between # and #EX, and that 6 is the same as 5EX.
:* Is "—" really a valid input for stats? I can't think of any instances where a Pokémon doesn't have a stat.
:* Can we make "yes" the intended input for "mega" instead of "1"? It's a more intuitive input to someone who's unfamiliar with code, and it'd be consistent with how moveX works.

::Feel free to edit the page while it is in my userspace as well. I actually used most of the existing docs as a starting point, so customizing this documentation with the Masters category is a GREAT idea. (I should probably also do that for the Unite documentations too.)
::* For the stats if the stats parameter is not enter, it displays "—". It should be removed though, so that the stats can be treated as necessary parameters.
::* I did search a lot for what the "moveX" meant, couldn't figure out how it exactly worked.
::* The "mega" parameter uses the #ifexpr keyword, so I think it requires a number. Either way, the template itself will be needed to be changed.
::I've made these changes, if you have any more feel free to edit the page directly. Also let me know if there are any more Masters templates in need of documentation, I enjoy working on them. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 21:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
:::Swapped the "mega" parameter to use #ifeq instead of #ifexpr, so now "yes" and "1" are equally acceptable parameters. I've updated the documentation accordingly (along with those other wording tweaks I mentioned earlier), so I think it's good to be mainspaced. The default parameter being "—" is just so the template page displays nicely, same reason why the default name is "Pikachu", the type is "Electric", and so on.
:::If you'd like to write up some other Masters template documentation, it looks like {{template|MastersInfobox}} and {{template|MastersEventInfobox}} don't have any. {{template|MastersMissionTable}} has documentation, but it's not the most user-friendly (have fun trying to find the purpose of a specific parameter).

== Masters EX moves ==

Good job with all those edits on move articles. Are you also adding missing moves to them as you go? I try to help out on any Masters-related thing I happen to come across. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:10, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
:Yes, I'm working through all the moves on the list of moves in Masters in alphabetical order to make sure the individual move pages match it, including adding moves that are missing. There's a bunch of Masters-related formatting stuff that I've been working on lately, and if you want to help with any of them, that'd be great!
:* We recently moved all the Masters Pokémon images to use four-digit padding. The old filenames are preserved as redirects so that previous revisions of pages don't break completely, but since four-digit numbers are the new standard, we need to change all those images to link to the current name. (I've seen you doing some of this on pages that use the PairDex template, and that's super helpful!)
:* We have a new template, {{template|sync}}, that's used for linking directly to a specific Pokémon section on a character's page. The documentation explains how to use it, if you're unsure. This template can replace all instances of a Trainer and Pokémon being linked to individually, such as in the tables on the [[sync move]] page, as well as being a cleaner way to write direct links, such as what I did on the [[story event]] page.
:* I recently moved the [[sygna suit]] page to match its in-game capitalization, and there's still a lot of pages that need to be relinked so they're not linking to the redirect. In particular, there's a ton of quotes pages that still need relinking.
:* Not specifically Masters-related, but we're trying to move away from using tooltips as much as possible, since they're unusable on mobile. Information in tooltips should generally be removed (if it's superfluous) or moved somewhere else. (I have not removed the tooltips used in availability sections yet because I haven't been able to figure out a good way to indicate when a banner is paid-gem-only or to indicate when a character is battling in a different outfit than usual.)
:* Speaking of availability sections, at Tiddlywinks' suggestion, we're moving availability (how/when a sync pair can be obtained) into the section for that sync pair, between the Pokémon's infobox and moves. The former availability section is being renamed "appearances". Also on sync pair pages, we've made some tweaks to {{template|Masters}} so that an alternate form (such as a Mega Evolution) can be displayed inside the infobox, rather than having its own section underneath. In addition, the article that the Pokémon name links to can now be overridden, so a Trainer's Pokémon page can be linked to instead of the generic species page. Lastly, I've started renaming the "Other" section to "Other Pokémon", so it's a little more clear when reading the table of contents what that section is about.
:It's a lot, so obviously I don't expect you to help with all of it... But if you can make some of these changes while you're editing a page for some other reason, that'd be a big help <3 [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 21:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
::Good to hear. Just wanted to make sure.
::* Yeah, notice the four-digit thing, which honestly didn't come as a surprise, after it has already been out to use elsewhere on the site. As soon as Paldea Pokémon started appearing in Masters EX, it was pretty much inevitable. As you've mentioned, I've been adding this new format to PairDex lists, usually going systematically with one region at a time.
::* Noticed the new "sync" template being used too, and have already tried it out at least once. Took me about a literal minute for me to get over the fact that this template removes links to individual Pokémon articles of such exist, but that was over quickly, and I'm more than fine with using this template as well.
::* Yeah, noticed the multitude of Sygna Suit redirect links that still need fixing. A daunting task, but we should get it done little by little.
::* As a user who mainly relies on a mobile device, I can completely understand.
::* Also noticed the relocation of the availability sections, which is perfectly fine by me, and have helped to move it on a couple pages already. And the "Other" to "Other Pokémon" change is perfectly fine by me too.

== Holiday sync pairs ==

Around last Christmas, I figured that since the holiday sync pairs are released around Christmas time, they'd fit right in on Bulbapedia's Christmas article. So I added them there. During the last few days, I've started to think if the word "Holiday" could be linked to "Christmas" whenever used in reference to a holiday sync pair, like on the sync pair list, for example. I just wanted to ask what you think of the idea before I started doing it. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:09, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
:I completely forgot we even had a Christmas article, lol. I think it's fine to put the list of holiday sync pairs there, but I don't know about linking to it every time "Holiday" is mentioned, since the in-universe holiday isn't really named. It'd make more sense if all the seasonal pairs linked to the seasonal event page, which is currently not a page and just a section on the story event page. It'd need to be made into a full page before we start linking to it. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 19:47, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

== Masters EX topics ==

Creating a genetic header to talk about Masters EX things without always having to create a new header. My first idea is something in honestly surprised hadn't crossed my mind until just now. For every Masters EX character, their core series counterpart's page lists what sync pairs they can form, while the list matches the color of their first sync pair's type. However, while this is fine for type expert sync pairs, what about sync pairs who are not type specialists? Should their list colors match the general color theme of their article instead of the type of their sync pair? And if a type expert sync pair's primary sync pair's type doesn't match their specialty type, should it be changed to match their specialty type instead? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:41, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
:After taking a look at a few articles of non-type specialists, it seems like all tables on their pages have the same color scheme except the TCG tables (which use TCG colors), tables for individual Pokémon (which use that Pokémon's type), and the Masters tables. With that in mind, I feel like it'd make the most sense for the Masters tables' color scheme to match the color scheme of the whole page, unless the character only forms one sync pair, in which case it should be treated like an individual Pokémon's table and have a color scheme matching the sync pair's type. This would apply to both non-type specialists and type specialists. So in the case of type specialists whose primary sync pair doesn't match their specialty type, it'd be changed to match their specialty type if they form multiple sync pairs (i.e. Raihan) and stay as the sync pair's type if they only form one sync pair (i.e. Hala).

And speaking of Hala, he's the only type specialist in Masters EX who doesn't form a sync pair with a Pokémon me matching his specialty type, so I'm not sure how we should deal with him. With everything else, I agree with you completely. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:53, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
:::Like I said, since he only forms one sync pair, I think it makes sense to keep using the Ice color for his table. It's not the only table on his page that doesn't use Fighting color (the Alola first partners, his Bewear in Adventures, etc).

:::::::::That was a really big EX role and sync grid expansion drop we got yesterday, so good job adding them all. I'd add the sync grid expansions to the sync grid article, but I don't really know how to distinguish horizontal and vertical expansions from each other based on just the added content. And another thing: I'm wondering if the two Poké Kids from the newest story event are actually Petey and Eve. Their Pokémon's genders match, at least, and I recall you adding an earlier Poké Kid appearance under their names. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::Oh, that wasn't me. I've been super busy with work and other irl stuff, so I've barely had time to keep up with all the new/rerunning events... I haven't even watched the event story yet, just skipped through it so I could unlock all the battles. So I'm not sure what kids you're referring to, I'll get back to you on that once I've done the event story. It's really easy to tell the difference between horizontal and vertical grid expansions, though - vertical grid expansions are for Poké Fairs only, and they include tiles that are unlocked at move level 4 or 5. Horizontal grid expansions can be for anyone, and they include tiles that can be unlocked at move level 1. All the recent grid expansions were vertical expansions. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 23:51, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::Update, I've done the event story. My previous rule of thumb has been that, like you said, if they have the exact same partner Pokémon, it's meant to be the playable character and not just a generic background NPC. However, with the Poké Kids specifically, I feel like it makes sense that character who dresses up like Eevee to use an Eevee, and a character who dresses up like Pikachu to wear a Pikachu. I've been a little hesitant to say that any female Poké Kid with a male Eevee is Eve because male is typically the "default" appearance; the Eevee Egg event featured battles against a female Poké Kid with a male Eevee who was not Eve, for example. However, a male Poké Kid with a female Pikachu involves a deliberate change to the "default" appearance, so I'm more inclined to think it's meant to be Petey specifically. That's why I counted the male Poké Kid with a female Pikachu who appeared in this year's AFD event as an appearance for Petey, while I haven't counted the female Poké Kid with a male Eevee who appears in Penny's sync pair story as an appearance for Eve. In the case of Rika's event, the male Poké Kid seems pretty likely to be Petey, and it'd be silly for the male Poké Kid to be Petey and the female one is just a generic kid, so I'm OK counting them both (and I plan to add the quotes to their respective quote pages). Now that I'm saying it out loud, though, I feel like maybe I'm being a little too cautious, and I should just give Eve the appearances for Penny's sync pair story and the AFD event too... [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 04:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::::Thanks. I'll add their appearance from Rika's event to their pages, and I'm personally leaning on adding the other events Eve appeared in to her page too. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:12, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::::After sleeping on it, yeah, I think I'm good with counting the Poké Kid in Penny's sync pair story as Eve—the biggest reason I didn't add it at the time was because Eve hadn't been officially released yet, but they did the same thing with Grusha (giving him a cameo in an event prior to his official debut) so it'd make sense for this to be the same situation. I don't think I wanna count the AFD event as an Eve appearance, though, since the female Poké Kid who appears in that event isn't shown with a partner Pokémon.

== Nemona's Sync Move quote in Pokemon Masters EX ==

"I'm gonna see you stand up to this!" is where in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet game scene?

Is this in battles in those games or unique to Pokemon Masters? [[User:PMat331|PMat331]] ([[User talk:PMat331|talk]])PMat331
:Her sync move quote is actually "I wanna see you stand up to this", and per [[Nemona/Quotes|her quote page]], she says it while battling you after defeating your fifth Gym Leader in Scarlet and Violet.
:Also, for future reference, you should use four tildes <nowiki>(~~~~)</nowiki> to sign a talk page comment. That ensures that your signature includes your name, a link to your userpage, a link to your talk page, and the timestamp.

== Assistance with the Hoenn League Page ==

Hello Storm Aurora. A little over a week ago, you showed approval for a change I proposed on the [[Pokémon League (Hoenn)]] page. I completed the change, and I haven't received any reversions. However, there is one touch that I have had two people revert without any dialogue, and I was wondering if you could weigh in on the talk page. I haven't reverted it back again since I don't want to start an editing war, but I definitely do want some authority to decide which way makes more sense. Essentially, I have the trainer names listed in bolded, enlarged text so that the contents table isn't loaded with 20 pointless links. If you could take a look at the page and see which way you think is better for navigation, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Earlier this year, you edited the {{template|Trainerentry}} template to make sure the images follow the renamed Trainer class links too, which was a big help. In regards to the same template, I was wondering if you could turn "Team Magma Grunts" and "Team Aqua Grunts" into links that lead directly to their respective Grunt pages from this template, since it'd allow the Grunt Horde Battles in ORAS to be correctly labeled as "Team Aqua/Magma Grunts", like these Horde Trainers as listed as in-game, instead of the current format of "Team Aqua/Magma Grunt ×5"? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 02:01, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

It's honestly no big deal, but I just wanted to leave this here. (I have already added it for this specific case here, just a reminder for the future.) --[[User:DomiDsLP|DomiDsLP]] ([[User talk:DomiDsLP|talk]]) 17:07, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

== Narrating Previews ==

Please stop adding to the trivia section "Dot and her Quaxly narrate the preview for the next episode". At this point this is something that's been happening every single episode and seems like a regular thing, so no need to mention it. --'''[[User talk:IcySealeo|IcySealeo]]''' 16:57, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

== User:Playerking95/Brave Asagi ==

Due to the number of mainspace templates being used on this page, it was causing a number of backend wiki maintenance issues. Given that the content on your userpage was all completely in the mainspace too, your draft has been deleted to repair the back end wiki issues. Thank you for your contributions for the page!

I did want to mention one more thing. Based on your comments {{red link|Talk:Brave Asagi|here}}, I wanted to just quickly mention that everyone on the wiki is a team working towards the same goal. Creating pages isn't a race or a competition or anything, but I can understand your frustration that you put in the work at the same time someone else did, and the staff wasn't able to accommodate two pages on the same subject. Just keep up the positive work ethic going forward, and hopefully editing the anime section can be a better experience for all contributors going forward.

== Preview ==
I'm sensing a possible edit war going on with the preview so to avoid such a thing, can you clarify what you mean with your edits so we can discuss them with the others?--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 10:46, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
:No edit war, just undoing NoName's unneeded deletion. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 10:51, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

== Wrong assumptions for anime episodes ==

Please avoid making likely to be wrong assumptions about newly aired episodes of the main anime without at least having proven your assumptions to be right or wrong.

This is in relation to today's [[HZ037]] and you guessing that the Rising Volt Tacklers have arrived back in Paldea as well as assuming that the anime takes place in Asado Desert - both of which being wrong assumptions.

== Episode page ==

Hi, I've noticed that you edit a lot of anime episode pages upon airing. If it's not too much trouble, could you please try to keep the phrasing of the eyecatch [[Special:Diff/3935551#Trivia|trivia]] [[Special:Diff/3922553#Trivia|consistent]] with the earlier episodes?

== [[Primal Reversion]] and [[Weather trio]] ==

I have removed the greater part of your edits to those pages since they matched information on Serebii.net more or less verbatim. I don't know if you necessarily copied from Serebii or if perhaps you copied from the game's script (and Serebii did too), but for now I'm just being safe. But just in case, you should know that copying information from Serebii's site is unacceptable. Even if you did copy from the game's script (or the ORAS site), I don't think that's really appropriate. The tone of our wiki is not the same as the game's script or the ORAS site; if you want to add such information, you should summarize and/or reword things to make it more your own and appropriate for Bulbapedia. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:45, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Okay, but I want help on those the correct way please.{{unsigned|Jacob9594}}

== Mega Evolution Bios ==

Hello. I see you've been adding biologies for the new Mega Evolutions. That's great. However, please work on your grammar and sentence structure. I am going to revert some of these simply because the grammar just it's quite what it needs to be for an encyclopedic site. We try very hard to aim for professional level writing. Thanks! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 06:20, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Tnaks bro, I was hoping some will help me on that. Sorry about the grammar. Its challenging to describe a Pokemon's appearance. Appriciate the help. Jacob9594 06:00, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

== Citation in Biology Section ==

Hello! When adding something to the biology section of a Pokemon page, you need to state and link your source in the section. Just stating your source in the edit summary isn't enough. Thanks! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 05:05, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

== Legendary trios ==

The fact that Meloetta interacted with the [[Forces of nature|Forces of Nature]] in the anime is insufficient evidence of it being the master. The games treat Meloetta as an independent entity, and it cannot control weather, unlike the Forces of Nature. Trios and their masters have a joining characteristic; Meloetta has no such characteristic. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 16:30, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Fair enough.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 16:31, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

== Height/weight trivia ==

I don't know if there's any sort of rule about this, but IMO it is only valid to consider types for height/weight trivia, not Legendary status or anything else. While I think we may consider such combinations for BST trivia, in that case, there is sort of a reason for it (in part because Pokemon battles around the fandom are often sorted into tiers which roughly correspond to Legendary and not; and in part just because Legendary Pokemon almost always have strong stats). Height/weight, though, only have a ''very'' narrow importance, so IMO it's best to allow only one qualifier for such trivia: type.

Also, please use "shortest" instead of "smallest", as "small" can be synonymous with either "short" or "light" and so can be confusing. Thanks. =) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:18, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
:As side note, few of what you added wasn't even true (Hariyama is as tall as Mega Mewtwo X and Flabebe is far lighter than Klefki). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 06:49, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

== Plagiarism ==

Please, please, please, '''do not''' copy-paste text directly from the official website, as you did on {{p|Cosmog}}'s page. This is plagiarism. If you want to fill out the Biology sections, please paraphrase instead of copying text directly. Thanks. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:27, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Alright, but can I ask a question, who comes some of the other Pokemon like Zyagrde, Solgaleo and Lunala, who official imfomation form the official Sun and Moon website aren't consider plagiarizing? --[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 05:42, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
:You can use the information if you rephrase it in your own words. Copy-pasting is plagiarism; paraphrasing is not. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:45, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

:Hello. I just wanted to remind you to please watch your grammar when rephrasing things; some of your edits came out a little nonsensical. Also, please keep in mind that rephrasing involves more than changing a few words here and there, that's still borderline plagiarism. You should completely reconsider the information, and integrate it into the biology section where it's needed rather than just tack it onto the end if possible. Finally, make sure the information your adding isn't already there. Thanks! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 08:00, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Alright--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 13:08, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

== Ultra Beasts ==

Hi! I'd like to ask you to please refrain from editing mainspace pages to say that {{p|Cosmog}} and its family are [[Ultra Beast]]s. Honestly, I haven't played far enough to judge this fully myself, but I am informed by people I trust that it is '''not''' certain that Cosmog and company are Ultra Beasts.

Bulbapedia strives for accuracy, so I'm going to remove the claims that they are from the pages I can find. If you believe they are Ultra Beasts, I want to ask you to please discuss it on an appropriate talk page. If you can present solid evidence for your case, we will be happy to re-add it at that point. Until then, I hope you can understand our position on this matter. Thanks! [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:16, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

:Okay {{unsigned|‎Jacob9594}}

== VA information ==

Please don't guess who voiced who, don't play by ear or assume you know, any other voice actor can have/make a similar voice. Also do not play by credits as the credits do not say who voiced who, just who has a role in the episode. If you want to gather voice actor information, you must ask them directly via any social media platform. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:16, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

== Spelling ==

Please be mindful of the spelling of Necrozma. It is C-R-O-Z, not C-O-R-Z. You have misspelled it almost every single time you've used it in your edits today. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 07:00, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

:Thanks for letting me know that, I aways keep making that mistake when typing Necrozma.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 14:18, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
::Please continue to be careful about this. Thanks. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:38, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
:::Your welcome Pumpkinking0192--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 04:40, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

== Writing quality ==

You've been adding a lot of prose lately, and in case you haven't noticed, I and other editors have had to go in behind you and fix very basic spelling and grammar errors that you should not be making. It's very frustrating to have to correct such basic things as "Wickie" for "Wicke", "Gladden" for "Gladion", "revel" for "reveal", and so on. Please, use the preview button and read over what you've written to make sure everything is correct. Rushing to type up something as fast as you can just makes double the work for someone else. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:48, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Okay, I understand., sorry about that, I tend to type real fast and not my mistakes right away when posting. I do use the preview button but It end to miss out on something.Thanks for letting me know.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 16:55, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

== Necrozma ==

Please stop adding information to Necrozma's page unless it is absolutely necessary. The biology section alone has gotten massive in a short amount of time because of this. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 13:27, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
::Very well then, I will stop adding information to Necrozma unless it is necessary.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 13:31, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

== Section editing ==

Hello, it is best to edit an entire page and make one big edit, rather than editing each section, it comes off as not using the preview button. It's better to do your edits all at once, rather than saying "I'll add the other info later", only to add it a few seconds later when you could've added it all in the first time. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:40, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
:Hmm, thanks for the advice I will be sure to remember that.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 03:42, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

== Writing large sections ==

It's great that a lot of these history sections are getting written, but make sure your prose is free of grammatical and spelling errors (a common one I've noticed is Necrozma vs Necorzma). Additionally, I noticed that your edit for the Cosmic Duo history section made heavy use of superscript templates (such as {{sup/7|UM}}), and although these are useful, when used too much they can be a bit hard to read, and just make the section very long in general. Of course we want to have all the information, but we also don't want blocks of text that can be cut down. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 02:17, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Celadonkey for the tip, good to know. I will be sure to remember that. On a side note I am curious to know, am I allow those user favorite stuff to my profile? Is that allow for non admins?--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 02:20, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
:You mean the [[Bulbapedia:Usertags|usertags]]? No, anyone can put them on their user page, as far as I've seen. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 02:25, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
::Good to hear, thank you for answering my question.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 02:28, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

== Minor writing errors ==

Hey, while it's great that you are filling out articles with information, but be sure that what you write has no small errors like spelling or grammar errors. Be sure to proofread what you write, so you can scope out for any errors and fix them before saving. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:48, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

== Your edits ==

First and foremost, the "Biology" sections of Pokémon articles aren't meant to be read out like Pokédex entries. That kind of writing style is meant for, well...the "Pokédex entries" sections. The "Biology" sections need to primarily describe what the Pokémon ''look like''. Second of all, please take a hard look at your English and brush it up.

== Tallest/Heaviest ==

The heaviest/tallest line in the biology section should only be reserved for the absolute tallest/heaviest of all Pokemon. The type specific info should go to the trivia section. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:06, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
:Fair enough, question how come it when the edits are revised for this topic, they are not placed in trivia instead of just being deleted? Just curious that is all.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 05:08, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

== Minor writing errors, again ==

I'm going to have to reiterate {{U|Force Fire}}'s earlier recommendation that you proofread your work before actually submitting it to the mainspace. You cannot expect others to proofread [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Go_%28anime%29&type=revision&diff=3104080&oldid=3104065 your edits] for you forever.

== Biology Edits ==

While we appreciate the updates to Pokémon Biology sections, they tend to have a lot of typos and need to be fixed up after. A good way to see if the sentence would make sense grammatically is to say the sentence aloud and if the sentence structure feels off, it probably needs to be reworded a little. Please make sure to double check your edits in the future, please and thank you. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 13:50, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
* Sorry about that, just now notice the message. I do try my best to spelling check this before reposting but sadly I do miss them even when typing them somehow. I do read out loud at times, and somehow they do feel right. I will admit they do need to get work on. Sorry again or the mistakes I thought I usually correct them or make them presentable for people to read and enjoy. i will try and work it. Sorry again for the trouble. Just want to contribute and add in any missing biology fact, given I am usually the one who tends to add them most of the time and when other do add in, its usually to fix my grammar mistakes or wording as pointed out.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 13:56, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

== A reminder ==

Once again reminding you to preview your edits thoroughly before saving. [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Strange_Ball&diff=prev&oldid=3522962 This edit] was full of basic spelling and grammar errors, and was also entirely redundant, as the same information can be found later in the article. You have been reminded about this many times, but I thought I'd be kind and give you one more friendly reminder. I '''strongly''' recommend you do whatever it takes to make sure your edits are as good as they can be before saving from now on. Thank you and have a good day.

== Userspace policy ==

Hi! I'm wanted to remind you about the [[Bulbapedia:Userspace policy]] linked above in the welcome message. We limit the amount of times users can edit the userspace per day, and you've reached that limit a few times over the past week. I recommend that you check out that rules page one more time, and familiarize yourself with the limits we have (more mainspace edits than userspace edits, and no more than 3 per 24 hour period). Really, if you can make sure you are balancing your userpage edits with enough mainspace content edits, and also saving your userspace edits to do all at once instead of in little chunks, you should be fine. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! Thanks. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
:I deleted your page as indicated by your request. If you need any of the content from it salvaged, please let a {{bp|Staff}} member know. I do want to emphasize that you aren't in trouble. This is primarily simply an FYI about one of our many guidelines pages that we weren't sure you had a chance to read beforehand.

== Edit summary ==
Howdy. Just checking in to remind you to avoid speculation/theorizing in trivia pages, and to also keep edit summaries a bit more professional. It's okay to have a bit of personality in them, but stuff like all caps, swearing, off-topic comments, and emotionally charged language are generally best avoided. You're not in trouble or anything, just something to keep in mind! [[User:Welkamo|Welkamo]] ([[User talk:Welkamo|talk]]) 00:32, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

:NGL i 100% thought this was an automated message because i put "Clefable" in the edit summary for that Gengar edit i just did until i remembered the Hydro Pump one, you do have to admit that it definitely had to play at least a small role in it returning given some of the other moves in S/V getting huge downgrades (mainly Dynamax Cannon and Dragon Darts), but yeah i'll try not to do that again.

:Also, unrelated, but i just wanted to make sure i'm doing an alright job with the rest of my wiki edits? Mainly stuff like the competitive terminology page. [[User:ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove|ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove]] ([[User talk:ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove|talk]]) 01:10, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

== Colress ==

All type experts found at the Battle Tree use Pokémon outside of their usual type preferences for the sake of type balance. Outside of the Battle Tree, almost all of Colress's Pokémon are Steel types. Having a couple Pokémon that aren't, like Beheeyem and Rotom, is no more unusual than Bruno using a couple of Onix, Lance using a Gyarados and an Aerodactyl, or Aaron using a Flygon and a Drapion. Those Pokémon still fit their character theme, just like Colress's non-Steel Pokémon do. He just diversifies his team some more for the Battle Tree for the sake of competitive play. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:29, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

:The thing is with those, they're very obviously type specialists by virtue of being in the Elite Four or Gym Leaders, and in the case of the Battle Tree, Colress is in a while other league. Trainers such as Grimsley and Sophocles stick to thier type, while ones like Mallow and Kiawe only use one mon that doesn't fit the type. Meanwhile Colress has more non-steels than steels. [[User:ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove|ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove]] ([[User talk:ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove|talk]]) 00:05, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
::Guzma also uses more non-Bug Pokémon than Bug types at the Battle Tree while not being a Trial Captain, a Gym Leader, or alike, and yet he is indisputably considered type specialists. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 00:29, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

:::Guzma exclusively uses Bug mons in his regular battles though. Colress seems to moreso specalize in science or sci-fi themed mons, and a good chunk of the ones chosen just so happen to be Steel. With others like Aron's Flygon or Lance's Charizard, they still fit the theme of the type itself. I don't see what Beheeyem has to do with Steel, and before you mention it, yes i know some outliers exist here too like Bruno's Alolan Golem. Still, i think my point stands, with his status as one being this debatable it shouldn't be there. [[User:ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove|ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove]] ([[User talk:ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove|talk]]) 03:34, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
::::You've misunderstood. Beheeyem and Rotom fit Colress's theme as a scientist, not his Steel type Pokémon, similar to how one could argue that Bruno's Rock types have more to do with brute force rather than martial arts and fighting. The majority of the Pokémon Colress uses outside Battle Tree are Steel types, and he also uses some at the battle facility itself. If Guzma is counted as a type expert under the same conditions, then so should Colress. A couple outliers in his regular team don't disqualify him as a type specialist, just like it doesn't the few examples I've mentioned before. Him not having an official title does not make his case any different from theirs, just like it doesn't with Guzma. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:20, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
:::::The thing with Guzma is that, apart from using all Bug mons, you literally get the Buginium Z after defeating him. We both know about his past with the Trial Captains too, even if he's not either of the former he's still very clearly a Bug specialist. As i said, most other type-breaking instances around the time of Colress still fit the Type itself rather than the character, or with cases like DP Flint and Volkner they just didn't have enough options. His Steel mons also do fit the theme- Magnezone is a UFO so it's perfect for the sci-fi half, Klinklang is a bunch of mechanical gears, often used in machines (although probably not the type Colress uses, the point stands), Metagross is a supercomputer and Magneton is just Magnezone's pre-evo. If he was designed to be a Steel user the outliers would've still fit his type specialty somewhat, look at other examples from around that time like Lance and Aron using mons based on Bugs that aren't Bug. Unlike those two, Beheeyem and arguably Rotom Wash don't fit Steel at all, and Rotom isn't even Unova native so they went out of thier way to give him that.

== Movie 21 Indian logo ==

Hi, this is Key. The movie 21 logo has not been updated on the South Asia article, and I'm not sure how to do it myself. I do have a cropped image of the logo from the Hungama TV promo but I don't have the editing skills required to remove the background and sharpen the image, not to mention that the image in itself has bad resolution.
Other than that, I also don't know how to upload media on Bulbapedia. Will it be possible for you to do it? Or can any other solution be worked out?
Also honored talking to you, an OG user who has made so many contributions to the South Asian article. Thank you.

== no info or unknown ==

Hello I apologize for bothering you but I am huge fan of a pokemon called Tauros, and somethignthat has ALWAYS puzzled me is a move called Skull bash. SO I looked it up on this site and no where on the page does it explain what happens when Tauros uses it.

When Tauros uses skull bash (which I can replicate on my yellow blue and red versions and every version after) when I use the move "Skull bash" and when Tauros lowers his head all is normal. but if you use any attack that should be super effective on him he always gives the prompt "not very effective" I havnt tested this with other pokemon cause I rarely use the ones who can use it. but when I did with Kangaskhan and Marowak this didnt change the prompt when using a move on them they were weak to.

So my question is, if this information is on the page but I just cant see it can you refer me so I know this is a thing xD and if it is not on the page could it be added?

Again sorry if I am bothering you with this nonsense. as I am aware Tauros is a neiche pokemon and noone might care but hey. doesnt hurt to ask!

Hello SuperPikaPool13. I apologize for using an additional account on the site. The reason that I made a second account was because my main account hasn't been working. I've tried to log in to my nornal account, but it always says that the log in info I put in is wrong, even though I know I'm entering all the correct info. It just doesn't want to log me in. Also, I've tried to request a Password reset to see if that fixes things, but no matter how many times I request one, I never get an email to reset my Password. Would you happen to have any solutions for my problem?

Well I took pictures of all the Pokémon trophies in Brawl. Can you believe there are 76 of them?? Anyway, I was wondering if you still wanted them.

:I don't recall this... -_- Hmm... just found it. Apparently, I requested it in January. Whoa. Hmm... maybe we could put another image onto the Pokémon page or put it into the gallery or something of that sort... since it's been so long, I actually don't recall what I needed it for though, so sorry to waste your time... though... I just thought about it. Maybe create a page "Trophy" and have a small gallery of it... still, that's not worth uploading all of them, is it...

Well since everyone was doing a really good job I thought I'd just add little facts. I think I'll get to work on that template you were talking about...I'm good at that...and one person literally spelled Pikachu Pikacu. I found that when I spelled it wrong myself. XD
p.s. did you mean Template:Pokémon or the one for a character's Pokémon?
[[User:KantoRules|KantoRules]] 22:29, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
:Umm... ok? But the info that you're adding is quite unneeded. For instance, saying that "Ritchie may be considered as Ash's brother" is unneeded... it doesn't build upon the article at all. Also, the Kanto starter Pokémon... it's implied that they're Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle... making the article redundant. And, in regards to the Pokémon template... what are you talking about? Finally... put your edits onto your own page... it keeps a conversation in place.

== Royal Unova Easy/Challenge Mode data for pre-Hall of Fame ==

First of all, I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for finding the data (well, the ones that you could find) for the Challenge Mode trainers in the Royal Unova. I've been trying to search for Challenge Mode walkthroughs on Youtube that actually covered the Royal Unova before battling the Elite Four but I couldn't find any. :/ (A while ago, I took on my own project where I completed all the Easy/Challenge Mode info for all trainers in the B2W2 games but I could only do it by watching Challenge Mode walkthroughs for B2W2 on Youtube; for the Royal Unova, however, I had to find the data by playing the game myself although I could only do it for post-Hall of Fame as I already beat the game and I didn't want to restart my file.) Second, where did you find the data that you actually did find? Was it online? If it was, then perhaps the rest of the trainers' data can be found on the same source? If you found the data by playing the game yourself, then can you finish finding all the data for the Royal Unova trainers pre-Hall of Fame? Please?

I did manage to find the data for almost all trainers using both logic and the info that you put up but I have two more left that i have no leads to (in terms of prize money). They're the two Ace Trainers who use lv.18 Pokemon (they're 16 and 20 in Easy and Challenge Mode respectively). They give 1080 for prize money for Normal Mode.

(resetting indent)Technically, you can calculate the [[prize money]]. The only reason that I would guess that the information is needed is simply because there might be errors. So with that logic, since the base payout is {{PDollar}}60 and the level is {{tt|18|16 for Easy, 20 for Challenge}}, the prize money is {{PDollar}}60*{{tt|18|16 for Easy, 20 for Challenge}}, which will get you {{PDollar}}{{tt|1080|960 for Easy, 1200 for Challenge}}.

First of all, thank you SO MUCH for fixing the problem with the Black & White chapter template. :D That's been a problem for quite a while that no one seemed to be able to fix. Idk how you managed to fix it but again, THANK YOU!!!

Oh and yeah I have a favor to ask of you. Can you fix the HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter template as well? Below the number of rounds (19) there is supposed to be the range of rounds for that chapter (so in the case of HGSS, [[PS442]]-[[PS460]]). A proper example of a correct chapter template can be found on the Platinum chapter page. So yeah, can you please add the range of rounds to the HGSS template? That would be greatly appreciated.

== Prior Generation Tables ==

Trying to figure this out as I've seen it both ways.

Obviously, a move learnable by TM, even if removed from a level-up set, isn't something that must be learned by an earlier evolution. But if that's not possible and the move can be tutored (like in OR/AS, HG/SS, etc.), does that also make it not exclusive to the prior evo.?

Since I'm probably not being clear, let me ask for it this way. Please help clarify this list as it pertains to moves learnable by an earlier evolution (say, Slakoth, Vigoroth) and NOT learnable by a later evo. (say, Vigoroth - for Slakoth's moves - and Slaking), noting I'm asking for advice as it pertains to our table treatment for ALL Pokémon and moves:

*New evolution can learn same move by leveling up - NOT exclusive to prior evo.
*New evolution can learn move only by TM, NOT by tutoring or level-up - NOT exclusive to prior evo.
*New evolution can learn move only by tutoring, NOT by TM or level-up - NOT exclusive to prior evo? (question mark)
*New evolution cannot learn move via TM, tutoring, or level-up - EXCLUSIVE to prior evo.
*New evolution cannot learn move due to being obtained via breeding and thus not learnable after bred - EXCLUSIVE to prior evo.

Just making sure I'm treating these tables right. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:36, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

:Hello RubyLeafGreenCrystal: I understand your concern about that. In any case, it still seems incomplete so it would be better if it was a bit more detailed and in a proper format before having it in the mainspace.

:Regarding your concern of allowing others to edit your page. First, you can add the {{template|mainspace}} template onto that page. That will allow other users to know that this page is intended on being moved to the mainspace. Additionally, you can add a template akin to this template ([[User:Dennou Zenshi/userspace|Anyone may edit this page]]). Instead of using the square brackets ([]), use the curly brackets ({}) when using that page, i.e. it should be typed in as:

:<nowiki>{{User:Dennou Zenshi/userspace|Anyone may edit this page}}</nowiki>

== ORAS arc is in Winter ==

The manga uses a 3 months season system:

Ruby meets the Fan Club chairman in July. When the two meet again in September, the chairman says they met during Summer and that it's now Autumn.

White's Deerling changes into its Winter form 3 months before the original date of the League, which was stated to be in Spring.

PokéSpedia, the manga's official databook, uses Deerling's form changes as evidence of the passage of time during the BW arc.

So, Norman's Sawsbuck is valid evidence of ORAS taking place in Winter.[[User:Ultra Ray|Ultra Ray]] ([[User talk:Ultra Ray|talk]]) 10:36, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

== Land of Kitakami ==
Since you are Chinese, you should be very well aware of the differences between 国 and 里. I refuse to believe you actually believe Sato means Land.
I speak Japanese and I live in Japan. Do NOT edit war or I will report you. --[[User:Thegrandpoketour|Thegrandpoketour]] ([[User talk:Thegrandpoketour|talk]]) 09:48, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

== Official Korean Romanization List ==

Thanks for the heads up! It coincided with my recent trips to Korea and the use of official Romanized names, such as the use of "Hankarias" instead of "Hankariaseu" (한카리아스, Garchomp) on official Korean merchandise. I believe the official Romanized names were pulled from [http://assets20.pokemon.com/assets/cms/pdf/op/tcg_champ_series/2011-2012/WC12_Battle_Dictionary.pdf this document], right?

Having said that, the official Romanizations seems to be used inconsistantly by Pokémon Korea, because I spotted a 파이리/Charmander toy which was Romanized as "Pairi", not "Fairit" (there's not even a "T" sound in the original Korean name). On the other hand, "Hankarias" was used instead of "Hankariaseu" for 한카리아스 which confirms the list. Therefore, I'm gonna look into this a bit more, since that document was released by TPC International, not Pokémon Korea; I just want to make doubly sure that TPC International got the names from Pokémon Korea themselves and didn't take it upon themselves to Romanize it, or maybe Pokémon Korea is just being lazy about applying it consistantly to official merch, etc etc. That is unless there IS a document released by Pokémon Korea which confirms TPC International's document? That would definitely save me some trouble.

Fundamentally though, I see no reason NOT to use it, because it's still an official list in any case. Hopefully I can find the official Romanizations for Gen 6 Pokémon as well! -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 04:01, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

== Moves and Abilities in other languages ==

May I know if the Moves/Abilities in other languages if anyone is doing on adding the Chinese names. So I was wondering if we're going to use the table as seen [[Characteristic#In other languages|here]] or with [[Template:Langlist/h|this template]] which would have to be edited to "English/Japanese/French.../Korean/Chinese". But then, on the Skill page, which Pokémon Shuffle may not be having the Chinese version, is also using the template. Or I should leave it alone for now :) — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 15:24, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello dude I'm here to help with French translation across the wiki I've understood your last undo on my edit but actually Cyrus (team Galaxy's boss) is "Boss de la team Galaxie" in French, I'm french native and in Pokemon games its refered as this we need to add damn pronouns before the thing, can't believe no one noticed that, sorry for annoyance I just wanted to contribute to this wiki's perfection.
:I'm curious to the source of "Boss de la team Galaxie" as the French version of Diamond Version had used "Chef Galaxie" as the translation for the Trainer class.

==Kahuna and trial captains Names==

Not to be rude or anything but if saying things like it is seems forced then we can retconned names of gym leaders also saying their names seems forced too.

Also what you said that hapu's name is coincidental here is a wiki link describing her possible naming and the relation of it to ground type understand it well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapū

Btw mina's name really means tiny in greek
[[User:Badwolf1234|Badwolf1234]] ([[User talk:Badwolf1234|talk]]) 02:37, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

:Name origins are given leeway to a reasonable extent, but the ones you've added are dubious at best.

:According to the article you linked, it just means "clan" or "pregnant." Her name is not ''Whenua'', so there's no point in listing that out. The article only discusses the trend in words for social units to be named after body parts (or its state).

:As for Mina, "tiny" is too vague to be connected to fairies. That's like associating "large" to dragons. Besides, I'm not even sure if that's correct considering that you said the same thing for "love."

:Also, I've removed your etymology for Hala. Haul and Hala sounds nothing alike in Japanese. --[[User:Chao|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」 03:11, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

== Medium ==

Hi Chao,
Morty mentions {{tc|Medium|Media}} in Pokémon Masters. In Chinese, his dialogue is:
道館裡也聚集了一群
想磨練那種神秘力量的人呢。
例如神婆之類的。
I'm not sure what is the full term for "Medium" - 神婆之類 or just 神婆 ("Goddess"?). I don't want to rely on Google Translate and my less-than-rudimentary Chinese knowledge, so I'm sure that you're the rightest person to ask. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 07:35, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
:Oh, I missed that one, but it's now been added. The 之類 part means "as such; and the likes," so it's just 神婆. I'm leaning towards spiritual mediums in this case. --[[User:Chao|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」 01:34, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

== Translation of 四天王 ==

I understand that you know Japanese much better than I do. May I ask, however, how does "四天王" translate into "The Big Four"? As even you yourself put it, its literal translation is "Four Heavenly Kings", which Bulbapedia has used for years now. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:19, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
:Nevermind. Just read your edit summary. I see. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:18, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
::Aside from it being the translation that appeared in Japanese ORAS, the cultural differences creates slightly different connotations when translated literally. For now, I'm just leaving in the literal translation, but I'll be working on a note to explain the term. As for the translations for older episode titles, they will also be updated accordingly. --[[User:Chao|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」 01:15, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
:::I think it's just that 1) I am not good at handling sudden big changes, and 2) "Four Heavenly Kings" sound a lot more dramatic and fitting to me than "The Big Four", which sounds unimaginative and lame in comparison to me. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 06:38, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

:There's no need to rush. The page will be moved when it's ready, but your article still needs to be restructured to better present the information.

== Dex in other Languages (Masters) ==

Hey, would adding the Dex entries for the trainers in Pokémon Masters be helpful, or is that a step too far? (the actual dex entries for the Pokémon themselves appear to be taken from the games, so adding translations wouldn't be necessary for Masters) [[User:Yug Guy|Yug Guy]] ([[User talk:Yug Guy|talk]]) 20:02, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

== JN081: Poké Maniacs or Poké Mania? ==

Does JN081's title reference Poké Maniacs? It doesn't quite match the Japanese name of the Trainer class, but I have a suspicion the episode still refers to them. Am I correct? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:26, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

::As far as I know, the term ''Pokémania'' has been used on certain occasions in Japanese as well (in the meaning of "Pokémaniac"), most notably to refer to Bill. Bill isn't a "Kaiju Mania" - it's just the English version that makes the two terms sound the same. Bill's article doesn't state that, but I'm 99% positive that it is the case.

:It looks like in the scene where Pinsir is on a bridge in [[JN094]], Goh practically goes out of his way to avoid gendering Pinsir. That's the extent I've looked.

== Pokemon Masters Jukebox songs & translations ==

Now that the text dumps for Pokemon Masters are up to date, I have compiled a list of the currently-available songs from the in-game jukebox, as well as all of their translations. The tagging used in the text files seems to correspond with the song key number used in the game (just truncated). Really the only info I'm missing at this point is what date each song was made available and which songs were unlockable.

The reason I'm coming to you is that I don't know where this info should go. I could see it being its own page, but it could easily be contained in a spoiler tab on the main Pokemon Masters page. Any ideas? [[User:Yug Guy|Yug Guy]] ([[User talk:Yug Guy|talk]]) 02:04, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
:A separate page titled "[[Jukebox (Masters)]]" should work here. --[[User:Chao|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」 05:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

:::In the future, if you didn't already know, you can make pages in your userspace and ask if they can be moved to the mainspace when they're ready. For example, this page could have been made at {{redlink|User talk:Yug Guy/Jukebox (Masters)}} with the [[Template:Mainspace|Mainspace template]] placed at the top to denote that it is intended to be mainspaced. This could be useful if you decide to work on new pages in the future that you aren't able to get mainspace-ready by yourself or that require a lot of time to work on before they're ready. I'm not an admin so this is not my decision to make, but I think the page you made seems good enough that it's probably okay that it is already mainspaced. But I just thought it might be helpful to let you know your other options. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 03:01, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

== Move name translation ==

Spirit Break's page translates the move's Japanese name as Soul Crash. However, after hearing the move's name being said out loud in Journeys episode 99, I think it should be Soul Crush. That would also fit well with its English translation. Am I correct? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:23, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
:Those words are near homophones in English, not to mention both of them (along with "Clash") would be spelled the same in Japanese. That being said, the Korean name uses the specific spelling of "Crash", so I'm leaning towards keeping it as is. --[[User:Chao|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」 01:23, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

== Diantha's Japanese name romanization ==

Additionally, it was also spelled out like that on [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/342726527596756993/996068337069080687/unknown.png this] poster which was part of a poster campaign relating to the anime's Masters Tournament. --[[User:DomiDsLP|DomiDsLP]] ([[User talk:DomiDsLP|talk]]) 15:01, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
:I'm not Chao and I don't have any authority here, but keep in mind that "Carnet" was nothing but a guess romanization (we use lots of those for human characters because they rarely get the occasion for official romaji), so any official material "beats" it. This goes without asking. If you were reverted because of using "Carne", then the person reverting you was wrong (unless I'm missing something). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 18:34, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
::My apologies, the closest thing to official sources with "Carnet" is from the text files in Masters, but names spelled in merchandise would definitely take priority here. I hadn't come across that scan and poster, so I wasn't aware of the spelling. It should mostly be reverted now with the rest of the pages be updated accordingly. That said, please do list the sources of official spellings in the edit summary next time, so it'll be easier to check for reference. --[[User:Chao|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」 01:31, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

== Official English title and track names for Pocket Monsters Original Soundtrack Volume 2 ==
So the [[Pocket Monsters Original Soundtrack Volume 2]] CD has official English translations for its title (Pokémon ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Vol.2) and all the tracks on it included in the data. However, as you can see, Pokémon is used instead of the literal Pocket Monsters. Other English terminology is used as well instead of the literal romanizations ([[Chloe]], {{p|Eevee}}, [[Gigantamax]]). How should this be handled on the page? Should we leave the fan translations and just note the official ones? [[User:PaperSplash|PaperSplash]] ([[User talk:PaperSplash|talk]]) 19:54, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
:We would follow the format of [[:Category:Game soundtracks|game soundtracks]]. The title would be move to the official English translation, while the fan translations of the tracks would be replaced with official translations. The header would also have to be replaced: "Track Title" → "Track Title (Japanese)" and "Translation" → "Track Title (English)".

[[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|the great]] [[User:Mikoro|MIKORO]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|talk to me]]) 10:48, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
:In the case of Langley, the spelling in Japanese does not resemble the Chinese word for dragon and they could have better incorporated the word "slay" had it been intended.

[[User:MajoraVoidJester|MajoraVoidJester]] ([[User talk:MajoraVoidJester|talk]]) 07:51, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
:Treasures of Ruin all follow a pattern in their names: animal and object they're based on (though not in order). None of those words you suggested match the pattern. In addition, it's also unlikely 熠 would be chosen as that is an uncommon word. Besides, if it had been intended, it would been used in the Chinese name which it didn't. Furthermore, 炽 does not match the romanization scheme used among the English names. The correct way of romanizing it in Wade–Giles would have been "Ch'ih". --[[User:Chao|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」 01:47, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

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

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

== EP099 ==

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

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

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

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

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

== EP225 ==
Hello! I noticed that you undid my revision for EP225 of the Trivia I added. Are you able to recall a time that a Pokémon does an anime move error that is stated to be an error by someone in-universe? I forgot to mention that it also occurs in the ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' special but on the other hand, the Pokémon that does said error are clearly artificial Pokémon. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 02:59, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:In addition to that special, there is also a SM episode where a Pokémon's inability to learn a certain move is acknowledged. I figured three exceptions to the rule didn't count as trivia worthy. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:55, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:: Which Pokémon and move was this again? The only two incidents in the SM anime I can think of is acknowledging Rowlet not being able to use Bullet Seed (which it doesn't use) and Nebby using Supersonic (I'm not sure if anyone mentions that Nebby cannot use Supersonic). I personally believe that Mirage Pokémon special can be not counted considering that the Pokémon in question were artificial and were designed to exactly use those moves. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 09:13, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::I was referring to Rowlet. And the special still counts, as it acknowledges a Pokémon's inability to learn a certain move, regardless of the Pokémon being artificial or not. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:01, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::: I wouldn't really count the Rowlet one considering that it wasn't like he really used the move but for the Mirage Pokémon special, I'll quickly ask some of the moderators to see what they think. On another note, would it be better to reword the Trivia for AG170? I can see where you are coming from but at the same time, I think AG170 was really the only time Ash's Tauros was part of his active party for anything that isn't battling or tournaments. I count the Orange League as a Championship battle but I do agree that it isn't a tournament and could have been worded better. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 10:07, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

::::::Given that Tauros was used in battle that episode, I find it hard to count it as being part of his active party for anything that isn't battling or tournaments, we briefly saw Kingler in Fire and Ice when it was eating, not being part of a battle.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 10:10, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

== Recent undoing ==
Hi Finnish! I noticed you've been quite active with editing some of my recent edits which I appreciate a lot and you're doing a good job! However, I've noticed you have been undoing some very minor edits of mine recently which are mostly just removing the overuse of "then". Are you able to tell me why you are undoing some of my more minor edits? Also, do NOT undo the TCG edits I am doing as I talked to MaverickNate about their structure and I need to fix those ones myself due to an error I made. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 13:43, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:I've simply felt that the sentence structure is better in those cases when the word "then" is used. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=JN137&diff=prev&oldid=3759447 here] the removal of the word implies that the chamber was already filled with cold air, when it was only filled with cold air afterwards. I can try to replaces those "thens" with other words, though, if you want. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:52, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:: That would be quite good if possible! I'm mostly removing "then" in some cases as some pages had as much as 39 instances of "then" being used a lot. The most notable pet peeve is when sentences start with something like "Ash then" or sentences go "Pikachu then uses Thunderbolt only for Raichu to then dodge before then using Iron Tail". I have noticed that your undos haven't been too constructive and that your editing is a lot better when you attempt to reword it yourself, so I would definitely recommend trying to reword things as you have been doing quite well so far today. There are obvious exceptions to when you shouldn't undo but based on your editing, I definitely encourage you to use other words! [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 13:58, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::Believe me, I've left many of your edits alone because removing the excessive use of that word is something I wholeheartedly support. It's just that sometimes, I feel the tense of the sentence suffers from the removal of the word. I'll try to work around it. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:02, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::: I had a look at your new revisions and they're looking pretty good! I'm giving you a heads-up that I'm going to edit some of the pages you undid and try to word them better on my end myself. By the time I'm done, hopefully the page is looking a lot better! I definitely feel that you're making a lot better progress when you edit it yourself rather than undo pages, so I wholeheartedly encourage you to try and reword things from here onwards and only use the undo button as a last resort. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 14:24, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::I hope you can understand that I'm not against your edits in general, just that I feel some sentences do work better with "then" being used. PS.

::::::I definitely understand where you are coming from with your edits as some of them have helped with wording and fact-checking.

[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 15:30, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::::IMO, some of your "then" removals are unnecessary.

::::::::I've been noting the unnecessary removals and have been more careful with what to remove and what not to remove recently. So far, your edits have been going fine so far but I definitely encourage you to edit out the mistakes rather than undoing as sometimes, it also reverts edits that were correct. I did see your message on your talkpage prior to when you left a new message on mine which is why I have been more careful recently. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 12:33, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::"Correct" is subjective, and I feel we don't always see eye to eye which "thens" are okay to stay and which aren't. For example, "<character> then <verb>" makes it clear the action they're taking happens after the action from the previous sentence, not simultaneously. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:41, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::Misworded what I meant as the use of "then" had nothing to do with what I was trying to say. When I meant correct, I was talking about using the undo button rather than editing a mistake manually. An example would be if someone made two edits being "Pikachu is Yellow" and "Raichu is Blue". The undo button would definitely be an issue as it removes the edit that is correct (Pikachu is Yellow) in the process of removing the wrong edit (Raichu is Blue). As for my edits, I'll be more careful in the future but feel free to message me if there is any frequent incorrect edits.

Sure, there was an exception, where more people joined in, but the trivia can be changed to say "in most episodes from this episode onward". In short, I feel it's repetitive to say Nidothing narrates the preview in every episode when the preview narrator is much more consistent than it was with Journeys.

Why do you think what I submitted was reaching it? The Pledging Tree and the presents are clearly a reference to Christmas.

== Hi there! ==

Hi! I have a few things I wanted to discuss regarding your [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Perrin&diff=3884800&oldid=3884797 recent] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Perrin&diff=3892405&oldid=3892357 edits].

First, I wanted to convey that relatively new kinds of information that we don't normally include in articles, like what was removed in your recent edits, can have value and don't always need to be removed. Yes, info like this can be improved in many ways, but that doesn't diminish its potential value. If possible, it's better to improve the content instead of removing it outright. If you're just not sure you think it has value, you can always talk it out with whoever added it, or on the talk page of the article in question, just to get that other perspective.

Second, regarding your general editing habits, including edits like [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Exeggutor_Island&diff=3822646&oldid=3822642 these] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Exeggutor_Island&diff=3827886&oldid=3827837 ones] as well, that it may be important to consider that if you need to make the same edit twice to a page (or even if you just feel the urge to do so), that this may signal the need to discuss the content on the relevant talk page or with the other user(s) involved.

Overall, using the tools the wiki gives us to discuss changes (edit summaries, talk pages, etc.) to best reach resolutions that are most agreeable to everyone, while possibly slowing down the pace of things, generally results in an experience more pleasurable for everyone. I hope you can take these things into consideration in your future editing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or another [[staff]] member. Otherwise, happy editing (and happy new year!) [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 06:10, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
:Oh and one more thing I'd like to suggest is adding cleanup tags and other {{cat|notice templates}} to pages/sections that you feel could use improvement, but may not have the time, energy, or know-how to resolve in the moment, rather than removing the content entirely or reverting it outright. Hope this helps! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 07:13, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
::1) Okay. I'll try to get used to it.
::2) I had completely forgotten about that reversion already. Didn't feel it was notable. I consider the situation a problem if a third reversion would be required, at which point I start resorting to talk pages.
::3) I am aware of the tools I can use, and I tend to use them whenever I feel it is necessary.
::Happy New Year. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:38, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

== Pokemon World Tournament Junior Cup/Gym Leaders ==

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_World_Tournament&action=edit&undoafter=3897245&undo=3897313

I had forgotten how inconvenient this is.

''Two separate competitions.''

Yes, my dear, that's exactly why one is called the Junior Cup and the other isn't. Let me explain, "Junior Cup" is a term used for smaller competitions of larger competitions that are generally mostly for children or teenagers (exactly the audience that participated in the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup). You can search the term on Google if you prefer.

Furthermore, all the other information I included came from the episodes themselves, Cynthia and Alder participated in the event as part of the team, one in the preparation and dismantling of the event and the other as a commentator. This was said and shown in the episodes themselves.

Cynthia said that the event is open to everyone in the same episode where she met Ash in Unova. I check the information directly from the Japanese episodes. So what exactly is the point of undoing absolutely everything from that edit?

Now I would ask you where it was said that the Tournament that Ash and company participated in Unova is not related to the PWT, but I think that would be too much, right?

Regarding the edit of the Gym Leader page, I have already expressly spoken to an admin that if I can increase a page instead of creating another, I am free. So it would be nice for you to use something other than your personal opinion to undo an almost 2-hour edit of something that was used to try to put more content on the page.

I'm not even going to undo the edits, since the last thing I want is to get into an edit war, but I'm leaving my opinion here.--{{unsigned|Hikaru Wazana}}
:No need to be rude or sarcastic, please. Regarding the PWT, I do not recall anyone during that arc stating out loud that the Junior Cup is directly related to the main tournament in anything but name. As for the Gym Leader edit, I was not aware that you had admin permission for expanding the page to such a degree. At that moment, I just felt that listing all the current Gym Leaders in the anime like that would be excessive. And as far as I'm concerned, edit war does not start until one side makes multiple, repeated reversions. So in case you want to return those edits, go ahead, and I'll edit them in ways that don't involve total reversion. PS. This is just a personal preference, but the page is easier to read for the editor if you leave an empty row between a paragraph and the next section header. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:35, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

==Images==

Please do not add "official artwork from" to gallery tables when the when the gallery section header is already "artwork". 
Please do not change "model" to "VS Model". They aren't a thing that exists, it's just their pose when they begin a battle, using their existing model used throughout every instance in the game. --[[User:Lewtwo|Lewtwo]] ([[User talk:Lewtwo|talk]]) 20:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
:"Official artwork from" is a thing that's always been present in galleries. It specifies what kind of artwork it is. And "VS model" is a thing that's used to specify the 3D models we see what a Trainer in a 3D Pokémon game is challenged to a battle, to differentiate them from overworld and in-battle models. I feel you're making this a much bigger problem than it actually is. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:20, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
:: '''-''' The overworld and in-battle models have been the same since LGPE, therefore, there is no distinction. Currently, the way it reads is as if the model within the battle, when you're '''"VS"''' them, is different to how it usually is, which is not true. Calling it '''"model"''' simply avoids confusion, and is clear, direct, and to the point. '''"VS Model"''' is also a fan-made term that does not actually exist within the context of the series. '''-''' '''"Official artwork from"''' is not needed, because the gallery sections have changed since the site began. They now have their own '''artwork''' sub-heading, which means we do not need to specify that it is artwork in a table exclusively for artwork. We only do not upload unofficial or fan-made images on anything that isn't a Project Fandom page, which means that we do not need to specify that the artwork is '''official.''' --[[User:Lewtwo|Lewtwo]] ([[User talk:Lewtwo|talk]]) 20:31, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

::::Looking at [[Special:Diff/3898892|Crispin]], I'd say that I don't know how "official" does anything very useful (and at that point, "artwork" also becomes redundant). As far as the model, I think it would be entirely fair to specify that it's the model in their VS pose or battle or something. Y'all can work out something you like, but I don't think it fundamentally has to be just "model". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:37, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

== Masters appearances ordering ==

Hey, about the Masters appearances sections: it seems like you've got the general hang of it, but I wanted to talk about the ordering of main story areas. When I was originally doing my big reorganization of Masters quotes pages a year ago, I ordered them as PML Arc → Villain Arc → Legendary Adventures, since that was the order that those sections were added to the main story. However, later on, I realized that this organization doesn't entirely make sense, since all Legendary Adventures stories take place before the Villain Arc chronologically, and with the exception of Lurking Shadow, they were all added to Legendary Adventures before the corresponding villain arc chapter. So, I decided to start moving Legendary Adventures quotes above Villain Arc quotes, and I've been ordering the story appearances sections with Legendary Adventures areas above Villain Arc areas.

The reason I mention all this is because I noticed you've made a couple edits where you move Villain Arc areas above Legendary Adventures areas in the story appearances list, and I wanted to make sure we're both on the same page with the intended order instead of just flat reverting your edits. So, with all that said, do you have any reasons why Villain Arc areas should be listed first, or are you okay with leaving legendary event/Legendary Adventures areas above them? [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 22:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
:I have absolutely no problem with your suggested method of ordering the events. In fact, when I moved a couple Legendary Adventures areas below the Villain Arc areas, I eventually realized they didn't chronologically fit there and moved them back soon after. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:09, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
::Gotcha, gotcha. I saw you hadn't moved it back on Ethan's page, so I was worried it might still be there on others.
::As an aside, the <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> line only needs to be included above an anchor if the anchor is above the first section on the page. It's a macro(?) that sets the position of the table of contents, which is automatically put above the first section if the page has four or more sections. The issue I discovered was that if there are anchors above the first section, those anchors brought me to the table of contents instead of the first section. So, by forcing the table of contents to appear above the anchors, the anchors brought me to the first section, as I intended. So that's why it's there, and it doesn't need to be above every section.

== Masters EX Summaries ==

Hi. I asked the opinion of some others after you removed content from an article twice. It is not only acceptable to include a short summary of the page you are directing readers to, but it actually preferred! By removing this content, the section not only became virtually ''un''informative, but also provided a worse reader experience for those learning about [[Jessie's Arbok]] but not knowledgeable about Master EX. The lead-in provided a quick gist of the content that can be found on the hatnote link, far beyond just saying "this exists". It's a pretty bold stance to remove content about Jessie's Arbok from the Jessie's Arbok page, so I will be adding the information back in. If you find that you still wish the content to be removed, feel free to bring the topic up on [[Bulbapedia:Project Sidegames]]' talk page, as removing it again would be your third time removing the content, and I don't think starting an edit war would be an effective use of anyone's time.

The only thing the episode implies is that the Rising Volt Tacklers have disbanded, and the only one in charge of fixing the ship is Orla (contrary to what the episode page says).--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 03:28, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

== Avoiding revert conflicts ==

Hi, as you are well aware, repeated reverts can lead to an edit war, so I'd advise that, instead of relying on edit summaries, bring things to the talk page when there appears to be a dispute before making subsequent reverts. Thanks! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 23:06, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
:Understood. My policy has already been to not revert any edit more than twice to avoid being accused of edit warring. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 23:38, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
::An important line from the [[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy]] is '''fewer than three edits may qualify if there is a pattern of conduct occurring across multiple pages'''. If you find yourself often reverting up to that conduct line instead of taking the dispute to the talk pages, that is also not good conduct. We have noticed edit wars resulting from your reverts here, so do your best to take things to the talk pages ''even before'' you make that second revert. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 04:37, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
:::Yes, I realized that following Landfish's post. Hence the wording "has already been". Now I am intending to update my policy to resorting to talk page if the ''other side'' reverts something more than once. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:21, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
::::This is one last reminder about the warnings you received here. Your recent reverts on [[Liko's Hattrem]], which were already being addressed by a staff member, progressed the situation in a revert war; if you participate in another edit war, you will be blocked. Please do not rely on just edit summaries to communicate with other users: go to the talk pages as soon as there is a conflict ''even if'' it means the page isn't correct for a day. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 13:07, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
:::::Sorry. I figured two reversions wasn't too much (following my old policy of saying that three would be too much), temporarily forgetting my above decision to not do it more than once. I'll make sure not to forget it again. I also used the other user's talk page to avoid further edit warring. I am aware that being wrong for a day is not a big deal, I just tried to help and didn't remember the previous reversion had been done by an admin. My apologies, no need to get worried. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:26, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

== Can you find these same images but with higher quality? ==

I'm sorry to ask you and i know this is quite late (i originally wanted to ask a while ago, but i didn't know how create a "talk" page.) but i'm asking if you could find these images but with higher quality, as i can't really find any other sources that has higher resolution/quality

Here are the images:

* https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Ninjask_pokedex.png
* https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Nincada_anime.png
* https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Ninjask_ghost_train.png

if you could, I'd thank you and sorry if this message is a bit annoying.{{unsigned|ScottishMeowth}}
:I know you've asked Finnish and not me but, 1 I already upgraded those images and 2, they aren't being used anywhere on Bulbapedia at present so those images seem pointless.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 13:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

== From Pererillo (Hearthome glitch) ==

Sorry if i'm not messaging correctly, I'm new to these type of contact method lol, I just want to say that I didn't knew that you were editing the edit that I made about the glitch in Hearthome, so sorry for editing it again when you already edited it {{unsigned|Pererillo}}
:It's okay. Cross edits sometimes happen. Also, you can sign your talk page posts from the signature button at the top of the edit screen (the third button from the left) or by adding four consecutive ~ marks at the end of your post. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:30, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

== AG006 Revert ==

I believe it had been established Bind prevents switching, like in EP005 when Onix uses Bind and Ash couldn't recall Pikachu. So to confirm, are you saying that because it wasn't Wrap specifically, it doesn't count as having been established? [[User:Weak2Normal|Weak2Normal]] ([[User talk:Weak2Normal|talk]]) 03:36, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
:The thing is that Wrap and Bind didn't precent switching in the games back during Generation I, so they've never really obeyed the game rules in the anime. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:37, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

== Darkgame9 ==

== How is this "better placement"? ==

[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Team_Rocket&diff=next&oldid=4067103] Shouldn't the Smash image go in the Smash section? Or at least be closer to it? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 12:10, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
:I moved it back to the top because the Smash subsection was so short that placing the image there would've created a lot of unnecessary empty space below it, and the subsection on top of it was so long that placing it there wouldn't have landed it in the correct section. I'll see if I can find a better placement for it. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:14, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

== Visual Editor ==

Heya, I just wanted to make you aware that [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User%20talk:PokePrime&diff=4067720 before giving advice like this] it is important to check and be considerate of the circumstances under which an edit was made so the advice is also relevant to the user. PokePrime's edits were done with the visual editor (as can be seen in the way the edits were tagged). The visual editor will always put a new category at the very bottom of the page - thus being the reason the edit turned out that way, and making the advice you provided them slightly confusing. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 16:29, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
:It does? I was not aware of that quality of the visual editor. My apologies. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:51, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help with getting all of those title card screenshots. Did not expect for them to added so quickly. Your help is greatly appreciated! --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 03:15, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

== Gym Articles ==

I'm curious why you are changing the structure of a large subset of articles. Was this change detailed or approved somewhere that I missed? I checked the talk page for [[Bulbapedia talk:Project Locations|Project Locations]] and didn't see anything there, so I'd appreciate a link to where this conversation happened. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 15:02, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
:I asked {{u|Landfish7}}'s opinion on Discord after the first edit, and their response was, "There's really no standard, so as long as the Gym pages are consistent with each other, that's fine". --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:04, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
::Talked with Landfish7 on Discord. There was a misunderstanding in what they thought I was doing. I've stopped my Gym article edits for now. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:14, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

== Motto variations ==

Is there a discussion somewhere I missed that we decided not to link to specific variations of a motto? [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 15:05, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
:The thing is that since all those variation links were added, the motto page was changed so that the section links to the different variations no longer work. Likely because they're collapsed to save space. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:07, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
::Could we add anchors? [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 15:08, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
:::Maybe, but with the variation section's content collapsed by default, when used from another page, it'd just lead to the series header instead of the specific variation motto itself, wouldn't it?--[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
::::Good point. Hmm. At that point maybe a "List of Team Rocket motto variations" page wouldn't be amiss? [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 15:13, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
:::::That would be a good option, admittedly. Didn't even consider that. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:16, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Thanks for the help with the Raid Battles section in the anime.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 17:41, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

=="Unknown Pokémon"==
When trainers have Pokémon which aren't seen, only their Poké Ball, why is there a table for "unknown Pokémon" like on the [[Damian]] page?

If the trainer is seen with other Pokémon later on, it doesn't really imply they were going to use these Pokémon in their earlier appearance. [[User:Pikmin3WiiU|Pikmin 3]] [[User talk:Pikmin3WiiU|Wii U]] 20:19, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
:The thing is that we never see Damian again, so those Pokémon remain unknown, but we know he still has them, so they belong under an "on hand" header. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:41, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
::There's nothing stopping Damian from making another appearance in the future. [[User:Pikmin3WiiU|Pikmin 3]] [[User talk:Pikmin3WiiU|Wii U]] 12:44, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
:::Maybe so, but until then, let's keep it this way. If you still dislike the current way the page is structured, I suggest you contact an anime-related admin about the subject. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:47, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
::::Probably won't appear in any future episodes but let's just say he does and uses a Pokémon he wasn't seen with before. It doesn't imply to me that he was going to use it to battle Charmander especially if it was introduced years later (like let's say he pulled out a {{p|Roserade}}). I would highly doubt that he would've used a Roserade to battle Charmander because it wouldn't be introduced until three generations after his last appearance. [[User:Pikmin3WiiU|Pikmin 3]] [[User talk:Pikmin3WiiU|Wii U]] 02:07, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
:::::Retcons are a thing, and something that's not seen can be retconned. I still recommend asking for a second opinion if you have a problem with the way things are on that page. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

== Suicune at Cerise Lab ==

You added suicune under "Other" for "Pokémon Previously seen at Cerise Laboratory". For consistency, it should not be included above there as it is already included as part of the category for Goh's pokémon. If we include it there on the basis that it's not with Goh, then we would also need to include Floette, since that pokémon was released and is not with Goh either.

I understand what you were thinking since Suicune was not a "Pokémon left at Cerise Laboratory" by Goh, so it doesn't feel like it should fit there. It may be helpful to rename the sections.--[[User:Vi|Vi]] ([[User talk:Vi|talk]]) 04:42, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
:Okay, makes sense. My bad. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:52, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

== Could you please help guide me? ==

Hi,

I'm very new to editing Bulbapedia, and I'd like to ask a question that I don't know where to ask. I noticed that you helped clean up a grammar mistake in my first contribution, and you seem to be knowledgable about Bulbapedia in general, so I decided to ask you.

Currently, I want to help add the missing information of the [[Union Cave]] in Generation IV (specifically about the Pokemon encounter rate and the layout of the two exits to the Ruins of Alph), but I'm not sure how the encounter rate is calculated. For example: do we just test running into wild Pokemon a lot of times and calculate the percentage, or is the information extracted from the game somehow?

I've tried using the Help page and the FAQ page, but I can't seem to find the information I'm looking for.

Could you please help point me to where I should read more, so I can help add the information above?

Sorry for cluttering your talk page,

[[User:Undying3386|Undying3386]] ([[User talk:Undying3386|talk]]) 10:29, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
:From what I know, the encounter rates on Bulbapedia are taken from internal game data, which is outside my area of expertise. I recommend contacting one of the site's admins who specializes in game stuff. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

== Animated series ==

Please refer to [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbapedia_talk:Project_Anime#Pok%C3%A9mon_anime abcboy's guide] on specific linking for topics in animation.

== Beyond the Pokedex ==

Yo, thanks a lot for the help and fixes on this series, the remaining episodes are almost done and I'm sure you'll give them a spin; but I do have to ask, why did you change the episodes and chapters lists from their translated names to their numbers? I thought since this is a western product fro a western audience and they constantly reference these by name, id be fun to use them. If this is a styling decision please do show me the way to avoid it in the future. --[[User:Mortagua2|Mortagua2]] ([[User talk:Mortagua2|talk]]) 10:36, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
:I changed them for consistency. Episode titles alone create redirect links, so I turned them into episode code links like in the earlier articles for consistency and to avoid redirect links, though I admit, the idea of adding dub titles to those links is not a bad idea by any means for the reasons you mentioned. Just be sure that every episode or manga chapter you add in the future is written in italics, like this: <nowiki>''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''</nowiki> --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:42, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

If you post here, I will reply here, if I post on your page, I don't mind whether you reply here or on your own, I'll have had it watched.

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], Spriteit!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
* For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Wikicode|this page]].
* Read over the {{bp|style primer}} before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
* The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
* The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
* The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
* On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
* The use of {{bp|link templates}} is official policy.
* If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
* A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
* For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
* Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
* If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Spriteit/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
* Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
* There are certain restrictions on the content and amount of userspace content a user is allowed. For details, see the {{bp|Userspace policy}}.
* Unless prior permission is given, no user is permitted to edit another user's page. Furthermore, edits to other users' pages are permitted only if there are problems that spread to other parts of Bulbapedia, such as broken links that appear on the wanted pages, switching out duplicate images that appear on the Archives, etc.
* Fan fictions, missions, riddles, games, and anything else deemed not suitable for the wiki will not be allowed. If you would like to add something, but do not know if it is acceptable, ask an administrator.
* A list of administrators that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

== Redirects on talk pages ==

It's alright that you are fixing redirects for main pages as it looks nicer. But there is really no point to do it to the talk pages.

== Link templates ==

Remember that you can use {{bp|link templates}} to make editing easier. Instead of using <nowiki>[[Rustboro City|Rustboro]] when you're fixing links to redirects, why not use {{ci|Rustboro}}?</nowiki> You can refer to the {{bp|list of link templates}} if you're in need of one. - '''[[User talk:EspeonA|esp]][[Special:Contributions/EspeonA|eon]][[User:EspeonA|A]]''' 02:46, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

== Just a heads-up ==

I replied to your comment on the {{redlink|Bulbapedia_talk:Project_MoveDex#"In the Manga"|MoveDex talk page}}.

Just a heads-up on images, I noticed you list them off on your userpage with text, not links; not sure how much you know about wiki-coding. But, if you want to make links, you just use brackets; for images, since you don't want to actually display the image, you just code it as: <code><nowiki>[[:file:image.jpg]]</nowiki></code>

The extra : before "File" makes it into a normal link, as opposed to a image inclusion. Might be handy if you need to link to images (if you manage to upload any move scans, you might need to link to some of 'em so we know they're up). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 13:38, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

== Hey ==

Remember to list only Pokémon that have the possibility of being male for breeding. Adding {{p|Kangaskhan}} and {{p|Nidoran♀}} would not fit this category since they can only be female. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 13:43, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

== Redirects to sections ==

I know that redirects should be avoided, but it generally better to leave redirects to sections alone. For the full explanation, see [[User talk:SnorlaxMonster#DL link]]. For example, what if Team Raider had a huge role in the next Mystery Dungeon game and deserved their own article? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:42, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

== Renaming everything ==

Good effort. I hate to interrupt, but I was curious - are you doing it all manually, or have you made a program to edit? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 19:59, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
:Unless you count the use of tabs and the find and search feature, all done manually. I'm usually good at getting done the repetitive tasks in regards to syntax, such as redirection renaming and the such, it is why I tried to help with the movie coding when they were moved and redirects to pages as well as recategorisation of images in the archives when the images are changed sometimes. I think I got everything that I could (not including the Royal Isshu which seemed to be kept at that page due to it's name as a ship and not the region itself), a few of the pages were locked, and I couldn't touch most of the templates. So they'll have to be done by the mods. Sorry. -[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 22:50, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
::Thank you very much for your hard work. Here, [[Template:User 500 Day|I got you something]]. I'll swap you for a list of protected pages that need changing? (If any.) —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:43, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

== British English ==

I would like to point out that Bulbapedia uses American English, not British English in its articles, but redirects for British spellings should be made. However, most of your edits are correct, in that {{wp|optical disc}}s should be spelled with a 'c' (even in American English). However, when it comes to disk as in a shape, it should be 'k'. While most of your edits are correct, your edit summaries seem to provide the wrong reasons. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:11, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
:Okay then, I was just using a general edit summary for the point, and I was unaware of that, I've always been taught that the British use a k, and the American a c, regardless. My apologises. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 12:14, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
::Don't worry. Unless you were changing quotes or disks as in shape you're fine. I think [[wiktionary:disk#Usage notes|this]] explains the confusing usage of disc and disk fairly well. Oh, and sorry if I confused you before, but 'k' is only used for the shape in American English (just noticed that I was a little ambiguous when I put that). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:19, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
:::K for shape, okay then, I'll continue through my list and try to catch them all, but make sure I try not to take the spellings at face value next time :) --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 12:25, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

== Edits to be made ==

I did some of your "edits to be made" for protected pages. It is generally better to put edit requests on the talk pages of protected pages if you want them changed. Also, you were doing Pocket Monsters BW wrong. Using <nowiki>{{ma|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}</nowiki> simply links to [[Pocket Monsters BW (manga)]] while displaying Kosaku Anakubo; what you want is <nowiki>{{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}</nowiki>. Don't worry, I already went back and corrected where you made these errors. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:14, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

::::I guess so, but we'd like to do it that way so that we wouldn't have to constantly update things as they are released different times. Sometimes it isn't so obvious. [[Cleffa (HeartGold & SoulSilver 17)|This card]] links to its counterpart's Promo redirect because it was the promo that was released, not the original. IDK. It's something that makes sense, in my opinion. It reflects sometimes what is legal in the game and what isn't. Decks aren't able to use things from 10 sets ago, so it's only logical that [[Eeveelutions (TCG)|this deck]] links to the Rare Candy release that was legal at the time "Rare Candy (EX Holon Phantoms 90)", rather than one that is no longer able to be used "Rare Candy (EX Sandstorm 88)".

:Because in the move logs one of the pages was moved back due to lack of admin approval, despite believing myself the source was fine and dandy, I was unsure of whether admin approval did have to be waited for before renaming, so I figured I jumped the gun and decided to revert just to be safe. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 12:30, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

:I thought for some reason that you said all the target=any should be replaced with target=anyadjacent, as opposed to it also possibly being target=adjacentfoes. I'm not actually checking who can be hit in battle only the descriptions, as a result I was unsure if they were correct so I decided to revert them so that someone who was sure could go through and check them. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 14:07, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
::Sorry, I probably wasn't clear enough. target=anyadjacent means it can hit any adjacent Pokémon, including allies, but only one (example: {{m|Pound}}). target=adjacentfoes means that it hits all adjacent foes at once, so if you're in the corner it hits both (example: {{m|Air Slash}}); in double battles, these moves hit both opponents at once. target=any is now exclusively for [[Triple battle#Abilities and moves|these moves]] (but some of them like {{m|Perish Song}} would take something else). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:12, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
:::It's not your fault, so anyadjacent is basically those moves that can only hit one (like {{m|Disable}}), and adjacentfoes is for both adjacent opponents get hit at once by a move (can't think of any off the top of my head), therefore most would be adjacentfoes correct? --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 14:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Regarding your relinking of <nowiki>{{tc|Fisherman}}</nowiki>, you seemed to be changing Fisher to Fisherman.

::I intended to campaign for that after finding my TCG rulebook (which I didn't). However, based on other people's rulebooks and the TCGO, they are called just "types" in the TCG too.

Also, currently it is plural, which is discouraged, so I would suggest it gets moved to "Type (TCG)" if moved, but perhaps there is a reason for the plural that I'm missing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:29, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello! I admire your work on fixing capital letters in words like Egg and Gym, it's something I'd never be able to do.

== Berry Juice ==

I turned [[Berry Juice]] into a disambiguation page and then started looking at the pages that were linking directly to [[Berry Juice]], to make them link directly to [[Drink#Berry Juice]]. I'm running into a bit of a quandry with a few pages, though.

[[List of Pokémon by wild held item]], [[List of items in other languages]], and [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Generation IV]] (and perhaps other pages, still checking) all have links to [[Berry Juice]], but the templates making those links don't currently have a way to alter those links (without ruining the sprite). As it happens, I would be able to edit all three of those templates, but I'm wondering if I should.

First and foremost I guess: maybe I just shouldn't have changed Berry Juice from a redirect? Maybe those templates aren't ''supposed'' to need special links for the items, and maybe we really should just make a section about [[Juice Shoppe]] Berry Juices on [[Drink]] so none of this is a problem at all.

Supposing that's not an issue: maybe it's not worth messing with those templates (especially the one for wild held items) just for one item, maybe I should just not use the template at all and write out the row instead. (Though that would be a veritable nightmare for the Gen IV event, so maybe I'd just edit the template for that one...?)

Thoughts, please? =P [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 12:53, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
:I think the best idea would be to revert the disambiguation and put another hatnote at the top of the page, as the Juice Shoppe is currently unique to a single game. I'd say err away from editing any of the templates, especially for the sake of a single item. I'd suggest not linking in the main item list as it can not be stored in the bag. Though an alternative would be to list it in the opening paragraph, after the bit about cheap alternative to potions. Something like ''Berry Juices with varying stat effects can be created at the Juice Shoppe in Pokémon X and Y however they must be used immediately, and can not be stored in the Player's bag.'' That way they still get a mention on the page without being delegated to a hatnote but the redirect still points directly to the page it is meant to. -[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 13:10, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I started reuploading the gen 2 Pokemon Go sprites to be transparent, but the image doesn't change at all. Is this a server or a traffic problem or am I doing something wrong? - {{unsigned|Yaronos}}
:You are not, it's just sometimes the network takes a little bit to fix the image server side, it's not instant. For example, I can tell that you've made Granbull transparent. Thanks very much for uploading them, it takes another job off my todo list! --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 13:33, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
:I got it, thanks!

== Template edit request ==

To accommodate the PI Trainer class being renamed "Gamer" again, could I ask you to edit the {{template|Trainerentry}} template to make "Gambler" and "PI" redirect to "Gamer" instead of "Gambler" and "Gamer" redirecting to "PI"? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:22, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

== Battle Frontier Split ==

Thanks for getting the Battle Frontier (Gen IV) articles finally split. I also have the Gen III Battle Frontier pages on my userspace as well, but let me know if you need me to fix anything before mainspacing it. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 16:09, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
:It's all good, it's mostly just the relinking and filling in the pages for manga and stuff that will take a lot of the time. It's finicky and with LGPE stuff happening it was a bit of an odd time. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 11:31, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

I actually totally forgot about those pages you slightly fixed up. For the list of Trainers, we already got a good working list going, so you can delete the ones on my userspace. As for the Lists of Pokemon, a while ago some of us thought a sortable, tabular format would have been easier to read then the traditional Pokémon templates that we use for Gym Leaders, Frontier Brains, etc. Well, let me know what think, and if you agree the tabular format is better, I can put that back on my to-do list. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 07:14, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

== GO move template update ==

As per your request, I have split the pending updates:
* {{red link|User:TehPerson/GoFastAttack}}
* {{red link|User:TehPerson/GoChargedAttack}}

It now also has an optional "notes" parameter to include any miscellaneous notes (eg updates, etc). [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 04:39, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
: Thanks, I've pushed it back up to the upper staff members that can authorise the templates. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 08:52, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

== Poké Ball item pages ==

I've created pages for individual Poké Balls as item pages, since there's a general consensus that each of them deserve a separate page, like all other kinds of items. [[Talk:Poké_Ball#Splitting_Article|Links are all here on the talk page.]]

As far as I know, almost all of them are complete enough to be mainspaced. No new templates. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 04:33, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
: Forwarded it up to the appropriate staff member, they're on break at the moment so should have time to fix and main space. I'm still waiting for a response regarding the GO templates, but I did pass another message up the chain. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 06:02, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

== New way to do the Field Research page ==

Since it's incredibly tedious to update the Field Research page, I've proposed using a new template and re-structuring how the page is done. [[Talk:Field Research|I left a message on the Field Research talk page]] with a preview of the proposal. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 07:33, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

== About Togekiss and HM Smart Strike ==

Hi, I did this modification because the Lumineon's page has the same trivia about HM https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Lumineon_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Trivia
As far as I know, Lumineon and Togekiss are the only 2 Pokémon in USUM (3 in SM with Shiinotic) than can't learn an HM in their final evolution but some pre-evo can, so I thought it was a good idea to put this trivia because this is really uncommon. Have a nice day ! [[User:Carto|Carto]] ([[User talk:Carto|talk]]) 14:30, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
: Thank you for pointing it out, I've removed it from Lumineon's page too. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 07:30, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

== Prior Evolution ==

Hey Spriteit, About the last modification of Togetic and Togekiss you have undone, I think the correct version is SM and not USUM, check about other pokémon, for example check the Delcatty page https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Delcatty_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#By_a_prior_evolution or the Shiftry one https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shiftry_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#By_a_prior_evolution it's SM and not USUM.

I think this is not the version where the move tutor is present, but the version where the evolved Pokémon cannot learn at all the attack. [[User:Carto|Carto]] ([[User talk:Carto|talk]]) 01:31, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

After reading again : Oops, you're right, sorry about that, I thought Togepi could learn Uproar in SM but nope. [[User:Carto|Carto]] ([[User talk:Carto|talk]]) 02:39, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

==Removing Pokedex/Browser numbers from Pokemon Infobox==
Just out of curiousity, why you removed Pokedex and Browser's numbers from Pokemon Infobox template? --[[User:Modikisha|Modikisha]] ([[User talk:Modikisha|talk]]) 10:16, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
:It's because of how expansive it is to add dex numbers to older generations and trying to conform them to the template. The regional numbers are now found with the pokedex entries and side game data. [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 17:24, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
:: Basically, what was responded above. It was getting increasingly more difficult to include them in the infobox without doing some not so fun coding to keep it streamlined, instead, we relocated them to the appropriate templates on the pages (Pokedex entries and Ranger side game templates). It has been a project that has been in the work for a long while. It also makes the pages more mobile-friendly as they couldn't check the hover text that was listed. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 01:29, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

== Move parameters ==

I noticed your recent contributions to learnset pages, and I figured I'll just ask whether you have "a list of move parameters per generation, in the desired template format" (#3 [[User talk:Nescientist#Transfer-only moves|here]]), or rather whether you could publish it? (One idea would be to "complete" [[User:Dannyboy601/List of moves (Generation I)]] or set it up anew, but I'd be happy if it's CSVs, or any reasonable format really.)

I suggest you might as well answer at my talk page, if only because Suic would see it as well (hopefully). And if you wish to contribute any more than what I came here for, of course feel free to do so. Thank you. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:50, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
:Since you might have missed my answer on my talkpage: the "could you publish it" part of my question was arguably the more important one. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

::: Sorry for my absence, I had real-life drama going on with the bushfires in my country which I'm sure you can understand. I should hopefully be back somewhat and able to finish Gen VII learnset checking and then be up-to-date, admittedly, I'll need to kidnap Bulbabot to make this happen though. I'll clean up my data and put it up somewhere, I plan to have it done within the next few weeks (should it all go to plan). After that I'm going to confirm that everyone/everything that should be STABed is STABed. If there are any other questions you asked that require my input, let me know, it's been a very distracting few months. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 13:26, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
::::I hope you and your life are alright, and wish you all the best in any case.
::::I had planned to be finished by now, but well, that hasn't happened. Lemme see how this weekend goes. My idea was to have (userspace) templates, which you can even subst within articles instead of copy-pasting all data from somewhere else. I'll output some list(s) once that's done (''if'' it is; if not, then.. I might do the ordinary way regardless; ideally, it wouldn't hurt if we had two independent datasets to crosscheck against.) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:04, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
:::::The individual templates are pretty much done, though I need to change some comments to noincludes. I think especially [[User:Nescientist/Movedata/Template:MoveAppeal|the Appeal data]] might be off, so you might already doublecheck that. I should have the full list ready by the end of next weekend, at [[User:Nescientist/Movedata]].
:::::What I was wondering is if "Varies" should continue to be a valid parameter, in a) species/learnset pages (like [[Eevee (Pokémon)/Generation VII learnset]]), b) move pages that are not Z-Moves (like {{m|Return}}), and c) move pages that are Z-Moves (like {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}).

There may still be a few mistakes in there that I picked up as I was running the script and didn't copy the changes back over to the base table. Regardingvaries, I've removed it from every learnset page (4) and replaced it with the dash. General consensus atm seems to be the move pages should also reflect it exactly as it appears on the move info in-game, however I have one or two things I want to toy with before calling that. Z-moves would probably stay varies however since it wholly depends on the base move. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 00:47, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

:::When you say that the current generation's OHKO accuracies are still incorrect, what exactly do you mean?

(For Gen II/III moves that are actually never-miss but list an accuracy however, I do think we should list those as — regardless.)
:::For move powers, now that {{m|Fling}} takes into account the actual listed power (when flinging a TR), I definitely don't think we should diverge from what the game lists.

== OHKO accuracy ==

Excuse me, but you seem to be a little inconsistent regarding OHKO moves: Did you actually mean to change the OHKO moves' accuracies in Generation III (like [[Special:Diff/3041051|here]])? If so, you should probably change it all across Bulbapedia (including the GenII and GenVII learnset pages where you recently didn't). In my opinion, either changing it all around or not at all may be reasonable, but only changing it partially seems/seemed weird. While I've restored the change at [[list of modified moves]] by just undoing your revision, if you actually choose to change it all around, it would only be consistent if you then replaced the dashes with 30%s, I guess. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:23, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

: The [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/data/moves/moves.asm diassembly] of Crystal shows that the accuracy for the OHKO moves is 30%, I am in the process of changing across the entirety of Bulbapedia as I'm sure you can see from my edit history where I have been modifying a lot of prior generations move pages to reflect correct data.

: For Gen 2 I forgot to swap the values of Guillotine and Fissure, but I did remember Horn Drill. I will go through and correct that now. Gen VII I haven't yet corrected as my priority with them was getting them moved onto their own pages before Sword and Shield are released since that was a massive undertaking. Unfortunately I got a little stuck on Gen 6 atm when I both realised what I had set up was not in fact capturing emdashes (which is why I've gone back to previous gens) and Gen VI has the contest conditions after the Symbols and STAB indicators which messed me around a bit. It's a work in progress. If you find any other issues please let me know. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 22:41, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

::#(Not sure if you already understood that, but..) What I found out when I updated/corrected list of modified moves some years ago is that the move data itself is not reliable prior to GenIV. (It's not limited to accuracy.) And one more reason to neglect that data and favor the actual accuracies is that you don't get to see the accuracy data prior to Generation III anyway. For example, {{m|Swift}} lists 100% in that Crystal disassembly you linked, and {{m|Vital Throw}} [https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/8064b011d142cfb7a6c8aa1f8366b85a6ff4e45a/src/data/battle_moves.h#L3032 lists 100%] in Generation III (even in-game).
::#(Still not sure if you knew, so just reiterating that..) Those cases where functional and display changes differ are hidden within [[list of modified moves]]. (That too isn't limited to accuracy; accuracy inconsistencies are outlined at individual move trivia sections as well.) I think it's important to have that documented (even when it's not visible to readers), and I'm quite delighted that you can actually use that single page to doublecheck against anything else.

== Request: Pokémon GO Spindata template update ==

I've noticed for a while that [[Template:Spindata/GO]] is very out-of-date, basically not accounting for 2 years of added features. I've played around with a lot of ideas and wanted to see if you can push this one to get approved (eventually):
:{{red link|User:TehPerson/Spindata/GO}}
Basically I feel the PoGO guides on BP should at least be as complete as those on the other sites'- i.e. starters listing the maximum possible CP (most recently, with and without Best Buddy boost), cost to teach new moves, and catch & flee rates. Also find it useful for such a template to be able to fully utilize all the model icons made available to show the gender differences, shiny forms, and especially PoGO event-exclusive costumes.

I've made a point to make sure existing parameters are mostly unaffected, so if this new one were to be mainspaced right now, then all data from the current template will be preserved. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 04:07, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
: I wholeheartedly agree with you and I've literally just pushed for this update (again) today not two hours before you messaged. I also pushed for your Fast, Charged and Learnlist templates as well. I'm surprised you're pushing for that version as opposed to {{red link|User:TehPerson/Spindata/GO/4|this one}}, is there a particular reason why? --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]])
:: The movelist was way too complicated, and seeing how Niantic has been updating moves much more frequently, it would just be a pain to continuously maintain. And since making that, I just went ahead and change the [[Template:GoChargedAttack]] and [[Template:GoFastAttack]] so they have complete information. And that version I linked can at least be immediately mainspaced without wreaking havoc on the existing articles.

:::: Sorry for the delay, after taking it to the staff, there were several comments/concerns raised, which is why I trialed out some stuff on the talk page of the template as you probably saw. First was whether a gallery with all the forms, being likely unnecessary, with a link to the specific Pokémon and the form differences page for Go sufficing (the exception being m/f and standard shiny). This would also remove all the 'event history' in the forms section. This was noted to be especially bad with Pikachu, however, forms with different stats, such as Libre, would still have their own boxes. We also toyed with the idea of removing the Egg distances, and while in the past when they were more consistent it was a nice idea, we've decided the parameter should probably be removed from a future template update.
:::: For Legacy moves, I noticed you originally had them italicised, I changed it to have specific wording when I was testing, this was mainly as when it comes to moves, italics we have cemented mean 'STAB on evolution or form change', this isn't the case here in Go as each evolution moveset is unrelated to the previous.

== Linking between learnset pages ==

Hey, I see you were updating some Pokémon pages and learnset templates to better reflect generation VIII. While you're at it, I was wondering if you could fix a related issue. Right now, the templates of the learnset pages from generations I to VI have a link to the main page as if it was generation VII (instead of VIII), and have no link leading to gen VII learnset. Similarly, in gen VII learnset pages, the link to the main page says it is to gen VII, instead of gen VIII. I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to fix, so can you take a look at it when you have the time? [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 12:47, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

== Number of Pokemon ==

Can I add to the type pages functions that calculate number of Pokemon:

* ''<nowiki>As of Generation VIII, there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Dark-type Pokémon|pages}} Dark-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Dark-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon.</nowiki>''

* As of Generation VIII, there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Dark-type Pokémon|pages}} Dark-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Dark-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon.

So it won't need to be recalculated for every type every time a new Pokemon is added?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 10:38, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
: Whilst that sounds good in theory, I'm not overly sure how we calculate that when it comes to forms, whether they are counted as separate Pokemon or not. For example, would Darmanitan count three times (Zen, GZen and Standard) or just once. Using your method it would only count once, when it could also be argued it should count twice (Unovan and Galarian). --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 10:34, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
::Pokemon is added to the sum if at least one of its forms has the type. It is always stated when necessary, you can look it up. I checked every type and the formula gives the same numbers as they are on the pages right now. The only exception is Normal which needs to be substracted by 8 because of 8 Pokemon (Cleffa, Clefairy, Clefable, Togepi, Togetic, Togekiss, Snubbull and Granbull) but I can easily fix that.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 11:30, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

:::I have been thinking about this and haven't forgotten, just been preoccupied with other stuff and noodling out whether we want to go down the path of making forms that can't be changed count for multiple. So Darmanitan would count Fire twice, once for normal once for regional but not three times since that can freely change, I've been too preoccupied to crunch the numbers presently. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 12:51, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
:::This would also affect things such as Wormadam (but not Burmy, since they can change freely) and Shellos/Gastrodon (West+East would be counted separately), but I'm not sure if it would be considered too hard basket. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 12:56, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

== Why are the shipping pages being deleted? ==

They were an excellent resource to learn about ships and the pokémon fandom community, especially for people new to pokémon or who didn't watch certain seasons. I know they were very informative for me.

I don't see why not even smaller lists like the List of game shippings page are being allowed to stay. It doesn't even seem like they're being moved somewhere, and the pages don't give a reason why they were deleted. [[User:Andre1070|Andre1070]] ([[User talk:Andre1070|talk]]) 14:14, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

: Hi there, the topic was raised [[Bulbapedia talk:Project Shipping#Bulbapedia and Shipping|here]] back in May to no response. Bulbapedia has frequently struggled with the Shipping section and it has been a frequent point of contention within the community as to whether it really belongs, we are an encyclopedia and we do our best to focus on the facts. The majority of shipping pages comprised of 'hints' and inferences that were at times strenuous at best, and at worst had little to no evidence at all. They also historically and presently weren't maintained very well with no real standard for what was acceptable. The like of game ships for example was slim, to say the least. It is almost wholely fanon and as such we have directed people interested in Shipping to the Shippers Paradise section of our forums. As for the list of game ships, they aren't being kept, I'm still wrapping up the (as I'm sure you could understand) beefy project.

== Template:Spindata/GO (revisit) ==

Hey, it's been a while, but I've gotten to making another version of the sidegame template for Pokémon GO. Since there's a new editorial board since the last version, I'd like to see if we can move forward with anything like this: [[User talk:TehPerson/Spindata/GO]] (still sort of a work in progress, but 95%+ complete)

:: Okay, got some feedback for you, one of the big issues atm is gonna be the number of parsers at 87 and the current one which uses none. We've worked hard to get rid of these off the pages as they can easily inflate page sizes and loading times and it is the reason why the spinoff boxes are all their own boxes, and why we broke up the availability and dex templates to be independent. These are primarily found in the evo box, so I think that section may have to go completely. The next portion is the Mega box which I think may work as its own sidebox (Spindata/GO, Spindata/GO/Mega, maybe also Soindata/GO/Forms) we'd need to determine a limit on these lists those, Pikachus 30 hats are...excessive to say the least. The box breaks a bit in mobile too, which for a mobile game isn't optimal. This is somewhat due to the vertical movelists (which present some more issues in the empty space on the lists). Fear not, I come with suggestions though ([https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/97220354614771712/886114301616726076/unknown.png click]) Taking out the evo box, I'd add a line below the dodge type that extends the remaining of the whole box for the evolution method. For the icons before the moves I'd suggest maybe using the Medal icons in place of the white background ones ([[a:File:GO Dragon M.png]]). They can be smaller and still retain icon definition. Final thing is that we'd need to make sure dodge type is linking to the Caught Pokémon page, since that defines those terms. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 06:07, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
::: Here there, wanted to get back to you on this with somewhat of a bold suggestion. Would the staff entertain the idea of having a GO subpage for each of the species? Unlike other side games, Pokemon GO has become almost like a core series game, with move sets and evolution methods, location info, etc. Every Pokemon has so much GO-related content, it can't really fit in just a sidegames section.

== Rewriting the Amourshipping Page ==

After seeing a recent edit barrage on the Amourshipping (which apparently got marked with a pending for deletion at one point), I realized that the page hasn't been given the makeover that Pokeshipping and Rocketshipping has gotten despite being considered the big three. Having followed Amourshipping fandom since the day it was revealed that Serena knew Ash from childhood, I would be willing to help with the page rewrite in any way possible (though I will admit, I am inexperienced with Bulbapedia's style of page format) just to keep the page from going through today's barrage of edits. Also, I think the iconic kiss scene should be the main image just because it's usually the first thing people hear when discussing about this ship today, especially with Pokémon Twitter showing it on Kalos Month and Valentines' Day.

== May I please update your Masters template? ==

Hello.

Did you know that as of August 28, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. UTC, the Pokémon Masters EX game raised all sync pairs' level cap from Level 135 to 140? For preciseness, we must follow suit.

Plus, to accommodate for some sync pairs having multiple move types, I believe that the section "Move type" should instead be "Move type(s)."

== Pokémon pages for GO (re-revisited) ==

I made some more progress in getting a prototype GO species page going -- {{red link|User:TehPerson/Venusaur (Pokémon)/Pokémon GO|Example using Venusaur}}
* I know you mentioned way back that {{red link|User:TehPerson/GOData/Moves|lookup templates like these}} may hit parser limits on the big Pokémon species pages.
** But now, since it will exclusively be used on GO pages, I created one for movelists only. Niantic updates moves every 3 months, and having to go back and change every instance makes no practical sense. (I tried rendering an entry for every single move on one page- no limit hit.)
* I already have scripts half-made to automate generating most raw text for every species' GO page (using Pokemon GO's GAME_MASTER + in-game texts). The only thing missing will be most "Availability" data, which has to be manually collected (but we already have the species' debut and shiny release dates, which are the most important).

[[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 05:57, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
:Long story short, I thought I'd already responded, but I didn't realise that the page must have had a session lost or something. SM did a [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Venusaur (GO)|similar concept]] a while back, pe4rsonally I feel ilke we don't need to duplicate the evo boxes for purification and mega ebolution, that info could probably be merged into the Infobox. The type effectiveness box looks not fantastic on mobile and the learnset infobox having images is non functional on mobile, making using them as a key not practical. Other concerns were the size of the candies/evo energy in the box, the stat section has no need for bars. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 12:29, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

== User namespace pages ==

I would like to mainspace [[User:C.Ezra.M/Wishing Chip]], and you asked on the Discord server for the reasons. I think you might have missed them due to the delay, which was because I was at school and hadn't had time to write a full list. Here it is then:
* Does not have a too generic name (like ?????)
* Exists possibly as a development leftover, intended to be instead of the [[Wishing Piece]] (somehow forgot to add to the Wishing Chip page)
* Has a counterpart article on 52Poké Wiki: {{zh|许愿星碎片（道具）}}
* The unobtainable items page does not list the items' names in other languages
* The items [[Teru-sama]], [[Cherish Ball]], [[Park Ball]], [[Lock Capsule]], [[Fairy Gem]], [[Band Autograph]] and [[Strange Ball]] already have their own articles. I did not mention those that were changed into in-game functions of the menu, such as the [[Pokédex]] (Gen I) or the [[Ride Pager]] (Gen VII).
Additionally, some other questions:
# Can I move [[User:C.Ezra.M/Template:Stats/LA]] (and its talk page) to the mainspace?
# Do you support the move of [[island kahuna|Island Kahuna]] to ''Island kahuna'' (note the lowercase K)? The reason is the fact almost all in-game dialogue refers to them without capitalizing any of the words.
# Can I move these pages ([[User:Keyacom/Template:NewMove]], [[User:Keyacom/Number glitch Pokémon]], [[User:Keyacom/E O]], [[User:Keyacom/Pronunciation]], [[User:Keyacom/Gradient]] and [[User:Keyacom/List of fishing encounters]]), all being pages from my old userspace, to my new userspace?
# Do you support the split of [[List of Raid Boss changes in 2020|List of Raid Boss changes (2020)]]? I want to split the page because it has {{cat|Pages where template include size is exceeded|too many templates}}.
# I made a new version of {{Template|Starter Pokémon}}, under [[User:C.Ezra.M/Starter Pokémon]]. This is to both use a [https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_flexbox_responsive.asp responsive CSS flexbox], as well as to fix the error with the heading, which causes it to not have rounded corners. (Just one quote mark was missing, by the way.) Is it considered for mainspacing?
Let me hear your thoughts about all this. --'''''[[User:C.Ezra.M|C.Ezra.M!]]''''' [[User talk:C.Ezra.M|Or is he actually]] [[Special:Contributions/C.Ezra.M|Keyacom?]] 21:18, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
: You've already moved your own sandbox pages. When it comes to templates, I am not versed enough in them to approve changes, especially widely used ones like the base stat one, I'm even less versed in CSS, so that's the stat and Starter Pokémon pages. Glik took care of the Island kahuna page, the Raid Changes would have been a no as I know we were working on solutions behind the machines. I think that covers all of it. As Glik has told you (since I didn't answer fast enough), the rest have been put to EB. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 12:29, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
::For my own sandbox pages, I moved them myself, but forgot to tell you so. As for the list of Raid Boss changes, the template include size has been taken care of and I myself called the split off. And for the island kahuna page, I also forgot to tell you. The PLA stat template is actually more important than to update the Starter Pokémon template, as PLA has a different stat calculation system and we just don't want to end up with a notice saying, "Due to the different way stats are calculated in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], exact minimum and maximum stats are not shown in this table". Before mainspacing it though, I guess this notice will suffice. And what about my Wishing Chip draft? --'''''[[User:C.Ezra.M|C.Ezra.M]]''''' ([[User talk:C.Ezra.M|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/C.Ezra.M|C]]) 16:53, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
::: As I said (and as Glik has as well), the rest have been referred up to the EB. I'm reluctant to just go ahead and mainspace the Wishing Chip page because I don't want to start a precedent for creating pages for items that don't really need them. As I said as well, I am not versed in templates and as a result can not and will not approve them without others who are more versed in them having reviewed them. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 09:01, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Greetings! I see that you are the one who usually creates the templates, so I come to you with my requests for the ones that should exist (don't know whether I can create them or not). The templates {{red link|Template:Learnlist/breed9}}, {{red link|Template:learnlist/prevo9null}}, {{red link|Template:learnlist/prevof/9}} are needed to add egg moves and moves exclusive to prior evolutions (yes, they are back). I converted every single moveset to the Bulbapedia formatting and I am ready to add them, but I can't until these templates don't exist. Thanks in advance!

== Big decision ==

So I was asking Kenji if I should add the Romanian names for places, people and Pokémon. She wasn't sure so she redirected me to you. The thing is, appart from episode titles and 80% percent of moves, my dear fellow romanians who dub the english episodes into our language didn't bother to give new names for the 3 "p" things from above. So having this in consideration, people who surf on this site and want to look up names for "p" in other languages they can't suppose that it has the same name in Romanian too. Plus there are also names which are common in other languages, so instead of making a new column for the romanian name, it should be simply put in the same column with the common languages, just like on Ash's page, in the "{{DL|Ash Ketchum|Names}}" section. There with German, English, etc. I don't mind adding them for all Pokémon, people and places. Plus, afterall that's what the language box was made for. Well what will it be ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 07:56, 19 April 2012

Hi, well, I've gotta say that I don't think I'll have much time to work on this at all since I'm starting college soon, so I was wondering if you, or anyone else wanted to take it over, since I'll probably just let it rot until I get free time again.

:"Dad" is far too general. If someone was looking Ash Ketchum's rarely mentioned but never seen father, that'd be a bit jarring to see Norman. Or what about other people's fathers, like [[Cedric Juniper]], or [[Byron]], or any of the other father's we have pages for (there's more than you think). Dad/Father might be a candidate for a disambig at some point to be honest.

::I think you're both a little in the wrong.
:* Diablo, you should be more careful when reverting edits to make sure you're not removing good edits in large reversions. This would help avoid situations like this entirely. As for his remarks, while unnecessary, they're hardly the worst thing in the world. I would suggest taking such comments a little lighter. It is clear he is upset with your edit, but he also calmly states that he would like to take it to the talk page.
:* Pumpkin, I know you've toned it down, and this is better, but in the end, no snarky comment would be best. A better summary here would be something like "please be more careful when reverting edits because you reverted some constructive ones. we should discuss this on the talk page" (preferably something more grammatically acceptable).

== Question about the inner machinations of the welcome template ==

Gonna ask you this since I don't think TTE is gonna respond any time soon.......

As a committee member from the Bleach Wiki, I have come to ask you a mediawiki-based question about the welcome template here. I noticed that in the template, the signature is automatically placed through use of "<nowiki>~~<noinclude></noinclude>~~</nowiki>". Well, I tried to get this to work on some templates over there, but when used, the expected result did not appear, and instead just resulted in 4 ~'s showing up but not replaced by a signature. While typing this message, however, a thought occurred to me (that happens too damn much) that the reason might be because you guys use "subst:" and we don't. Whether or not this ''is'' the reason, I'm just looking for a response, because I do somewhat want to make this work over there. Thanks for your time. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy]] ([[User_talk:Schiffy|Speak to me]]|[[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|What I've done]]) 21:28, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
:You do need to substitute the template for that to work. The way it works is that on the template page, the noinclude tags prevent it being parsed as a signature. When it is substituted, it gets inserted without the tags, making four tildes in a row, so it gets parsed as a signature. When the template is called but not substituted, it effectively executes it from the template page without actually transferring it, so while it ignores the noinclude tags, they still exist and break up the sequence of tildes. As a result, without the substitution, it behaves just like on the template page - as two separate pairs of tildes.

== [[Blaziken Mask]] / [[Meyer]] ==

There seems to be extremely little on-wiki discussion regarding merging two articles that very clearly are the same person. I mean, if all of the supporting facts don't confirm it (too numerous to list), then the very sight of Meyer's face under the mask at the end of [[XY010|''Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!'']] should be the dart in the proverbial bulls-eye. I've made multiple attempts (see at Blaziken Mask, [[Talk:Meyer|at Meyer]], and even at [[Bulbapedia_talk:Editor's_Hub#Blaziken_Mask.2FMeyer|the Editor's Hub]] with absolutely no response in places (except for one person at each of the first two), and a talk page message to [[User_talk:Force_Fire#Blaziken_Mask_.2F_Meyer|Force Fire]] also went unanswered.

Should I go ahead and ''be bold'' as is the Wiki trademark? The problem is that I don't have the user permission to physically merge pages; I could copy stuff over but edit history would be lost. Both pages ought to now be merged at [[Meyer]] and a single history created; I can also add the image at the end of the episode showing his face under the mask.

== {{p|Hoopa}} ==

Coming to you as the protecting admin.

A concern has been raised by an editor about the Hoopa page being protected to established users only. Can you perhaps [[Talk:Hoopa (Pokémon)#Hoopa page|answer the user's concern]] and explain whether the page will be permitted for all users in the future?

Also, of interest to me, {{p|Diancie}} '''is not''' protected, and {{p|Zygarde}} '''is''' protected (since 2013, protected from page creation to prevent speculation; that's long past now), while {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} are unprotected; there is inconsistency here. Since Hoopa is released now in Japan, I think we can allow edits as people in North America can trade for Hoopa now and see what it does. {{p|Volcanion}} in my mind is the only one to now restrict (and it is, you did that one as well). Neither Volcanion or Hoopa are too high-traffic, either; Hoopa came out this month, and it still has only slightly more activity than either May or June, with maybe a few edits at a time at any time regardless of when it is and no edit warring that I have noticed.

You probably don't remember this, but I had a bit of a negative attitude you and the wiki's way of doing things back in 2010. I had the displeasure of looking at my Talk page the other day and I don't think I've ever cringed so hard. I apologise for my past behaviour. [[User:LordHeinz|LordHeinz]] ([[User talk:LordHeinz|talk]]) 21:00, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
:Everyone makes mistakes, especially when we are younger and dumber. I know I had plenty myself. But an apology still goes a long way. Thank you. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 15:23, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

== Internal Error? ==

Uh I got on here today and went to the Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee page, and signed in. Then I got a page that said

[7e1d11dca5d5dbbbfa85f95ca] 2018-9-21 11:54:00: Fatal exception of type "Error"

It also showed once when I was editing this when I scrolled down past the Parser Profiling data.
I don't know if you're the right person to ask this, but what does this mean? Did I do something wrong? (I have screenshots if you want, but I don't know how to upload it to Bulbapedia.)

--[[User:Mira Zannah|Mira Zannah]] [[User_talk:Mira Zannah|(Feel free to yell at me)]] 12:13, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
:No, it was likely a server hiccup. But if the problem persists, I suggest telling {{u|Kogoro}} about it. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:35, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

== It's a Hard Life ==

What kind of article was It's a Hard Life? I had the article in my Watchlist so I guess I edited it at some point, but I can't really remember what it was. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 13:12, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
:It was an article about a webcomic, but not a notable one. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 17:08, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
::Ah, yeah, makes sense. I had forgotten that I had most of them in my watchlist. Thanks. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 21:26, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

== Sandbox categories ==

By doing [[Special:Diff/3089808|this edit]], Tag365 has added categories to the Bulbapedia sandbox. Please undo that because I'm not in the {{bp|staff}}. In the sandbox rules, there is ''Do not remove any sections from the sandbox unless you are the author of that section. Otherwise, only staff members may remove content from this page''. --[[User:TheICTLiker4|'''キー''']][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|'''Ａ''']][[User talk:TheICTLiker4|'''コン''']] 15:17, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

== Re: PoGO Information ==

Thanks for deleting those drafts. Most of the "good information" there was already either mainspaced or too outdated. But for expanding on PoGO, one thing I've been trying to get pushed is a much needed updated to [[Template:Spindata/GO]], which lacks a lot of readily-available information that other Pokemon GO sites have, e.g.
* Maximum CP (including Best Buddy boost)
* Base Catch/Flee rate
* New Attack Cost (introduced long after template was created)
* Utilization of all sprites (gender-differences, Shiny, and costumes)
Anyways, I've been toying with various drafts for a while, and decided on this one - [[User:TehPerson/Spindata/GO]] - such that it won't interfere with whatever information is already on the mainspace. And I can just help out manually fill out the new "??" fields (the old base stats for Gen I-III need to be mass-updated anyways). Thanks! [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 04:26, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

== An apology and a question ==

First, I just wanted to apologize about my past actions when I was 13 and 14 years old back in 2009 and 2010. I was young and dumb and made some pointless hasty decisions and was a pain in the neck, and caused you in particular some headache. As that was half a lifetime ago, at least for me, I'd like to think I've grown a bit as a person and as an editor, but I still regret my past mistakes and ignorance and I do apologize for that.

If it's no trouble, I also wanted to ask you a question. I noticed you are missing from the [[BP:Webmasters|Executive Staff page]]. Is there a reason for this, and is anyone else missing? I've noticed you are listed as a former Editor-in-Chief on the Editorial Board page under "Other Executive Staff" but, as far as I can tell, you're the only one missing from the actual Executive Staff page itself, so I thought I'd ask.

And again, thanks for all you do here and thanks for your patience with me over the years. I look forward to continue working with you and the rest of staff and the Bulbapedia community to make this wiki as good as it can be. Sincerely, [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 21:17, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
:I reject your apology and you're fired forever. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 16:41, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

==Introduction==
I am a former {{bp|Editor-in-Chief}} of Bulbapedia. I joined on December 9, 2007, worked hard enough to get nominated for a staff position, and clawed my way up from there. That's right, you too can be EiC. All it takes is hard work, dedication, and all those other inspirational things you hear about getting ahead in life. After being EiC for a while, I decided that I wanted to focus on the user experience. My main goal as EiC was to make everything easier to understand and help my fellow user find the page they want as efficiently as possible, and when they get there, I want it to be full of all the juicy info you need organized around some fancy and colorful templates.

I've been a fan since [[Generation I]], but near the end of [[Generation II]], I lost interest. After seeing {{p|Beautifly}}, I figured Game Freak had run out of {{p|Butterfree|original ideas}}, so I skipped [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]], but the remakes of Gen I brought me back. Thanks to [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], I also invested a little time checking out [[Generation III]] Pokémon and came to the realization that some of them were actually {{p|Blaziken|pretty}} {{p|Flygon|original}}. As for [[Generation IV]], I wasn't going to jump in, but after a friend of mine did first, I decided to check it out. I had to investigate the all new {{p|Magnezone|Magnemite evolution}} and get in on that Wi-Fi action. While looking for info to educate myself on what I missed during my Poké-hiatus, I found Bulbapedia. The rest is history.

On December 9, 2012, exactly 5 years after joining Bulbapedia, I decided to step down from my position as Editor-in-Chief. You can read about my decision in {{bp|Messages_from_the_Editor#December_9|this message from the editor}}. Thanks to all the staff and fans for helping out during my tenure. I'm not leaving though, so don't worry, I'll still be around.

On March 9, 2015, I published my first proper Bulbanews article regarding a retrospective of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]] as well as [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. I put a lot of effort into it and got a lot of positive feedback from people. You can check it out [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Omega_Ruby_and_Alpha_Sapphire:_A_retrospective_review right here].

==Teams==

My teams follow a simple pattern.
# [[first partner Pokémon|Starter]]
# {{m|Fly}}er
# {{p|Magnemite}}
# {{m|Surf}}er
# {{m|Earthquake}}-er
# [[HM slave]]/Powerhouse
Certain Pokémon get placed in the same position. However, Flygon on my Sapphire team is a good example of how this isn't always the case. I don't know why or how I started doing things this way, but, it's nice to be organized. It should be noted though that this doesn't mean I'm going to send the same Pokémon out first every time if you battle me online.

Back in the day when legendaries we're the only way to go and if you didn't have a Mewtwo, you were a nobody. I had an {{p|Articuno}} (named "Icy") which was mostly for {{m|Fly}}ing, but, also good for beating Lance. Megamite is a Level 100 Magnemite, and the rest are what you'd expect.

====Red====
'''THIS GAME HAS BEEN LOST.''' I started with {{p|Squirtle}}.

====Yellow====
I had never played Yellow version before 2010. Namely because I hate Pikachu. Well, a friend was cleaning his place, and found 3(!) copies and gave them all to me. I gave away two of them, and decided I might as well beat Yellow. 
But fate would not have it, as after I got my sixth badge, the game failed to retain my save, bringing my journey to an early end. But then Yellow on 3DS [[Virtual Console]] finally gave me a reliable chance to beat the game, so I did. 
I made Pikachu an HM slave and Submission user on any weak Normal-type I came across and used a Vulpix as my new starter. Back in Gen I, before the {{stat|Special}} split, some Pokemon were a lot more powerful than after the split. If I was gonna run Gen I, I wanted in on that, so I decided to grab Ninetales and Tentacruel, both of which got really screwed in the Special split (more Ninetales than Cruel). And it shows. Tentacruel is a beast, and Ninetales is totally usable (and huggable). Magneton is standard, although now packing a tank-worthy 120 Sp.Def. I chose Dodrio for two reasons. I don't get to use it as much as I'd like, but more importantly, in Gen I, Speed is key, and it has it (also, the Gen I {{m|Tri Attack}} animation is AWESOME!). Nidoking is just plain great.

With the introduction of a new generation, we got the opportunity to play with 100 new species of Pokémon. Buuut, I was a naive young boy who still insisted on using legendaries...however, I did move up to a Magneton. Ho-oh had Fly and T-tar was pretty crappy. But it was cool looking.

====Gold====
This game was lost for the longest time, but I found it February 15, 2009. But, sitting under the dresser for a few years hasn't done it any favors. So I restarted it! You wouldn't think restarting and playing an ancient Pokémon game would be fun, but it seems to have really shown me how good these older games were.

Aerodactyl and Horsea were traded in, and Heracross kinda-sorta has a hacked moveset.

====Sapphire====
This is actually the second team, as this game was restarted. The first time around was pretty bad, but I made sure I knew the score this time around. I planned the team ahead of time, and then left a spot open for a Crawdaunt knowing 4 HMs. They all do their jobs quite well, even Walrein, the weakest.

====LeafGreen====
Like above, there was a second team. This was my first Pokémon game since Silver, three years prior. I knew nothing about natures and EVs, so, it was a mess. Second time around, I had {{tt|Blastoise|BRUCEFORCE}}, a hacked {{tt|Scyther|FRED}} with Fly, {{tt|Magneton|MAGNEDETH}}, {{tt|Arcanine|SPARTICUS}}, {{tt|Nidoking|KILLDOZER}}, and a {{tt|Kingler|SWISSKNIFE}} with any HM I didn't want on the main team. Super hacked Scyther bothered me a little, and I wasn't really satisfied with Blastoise or Arcanine either, so I restarted it again!

This is the new team. Would you believe its 100% legit? Well it is! I guess it evens out the hacked Emerald team... This team is great. I could have used Hitmonlee instead of Primeape, but i just used Hitmonlee in SS, so I decided to give Primeape a go. Also, as a sort of boycott, I had never used a Charizard before (granted, its special stat in Gen I was abysmal) so I gave it a go here.

====Emerald====
A friend of mine has been shipped off to Iraq. Godspeed to him. He gave me his Emerald. This team was used to beat his game and harvest legendaries: {{tt|Sceptile|ACE}}, {{tt|Xatu|TOTEM TOM}}, {{tt|Magneton|MAGNEDETH}}, {{tt|Golduck|PHIL}}, {{tt|Dugtrio|PAIN TRAIN}}, {{tt|Machamp|MR. X}}.

Hoenn sucks in terms of Pokemon choice. I milked it for all it was worth with my Sapphire team, but when I was given an Emerald, I had to quick think of a team to fill it in. Very few of the Gen III Pokemon flow well enough with Swampert to make a good team of them. Granted, that's a giant opinion, but either way, I cheated a little. First, Swampert can't effectively use Water-type attacks, and secondly, there's too damn many Water-type HMs in Gen III, so Ludicolo is used to handle that stuff and Swampert is used as the Grounder. Ninjask is hacked with Fly and Signal Beam (why didn't they give it to it in the first place?), Breloom is used as Fighting only, and Typhlosion was imported because Fire-types don't exist in Hoenn (aside from Blaziken whom i already used).

====Diamond====
This is my team for used in the story. Beating gyms, E4, etc. I have rarely used it in battles against anyone. Magnemite and Porygon had to be traded over because they aren't in the Sinnoh Dex. I don't really like any of the Sinnoh starters (Torterra is cool, but, I'd never use him) but I chose Infernape simply because it was useful and fit into the team. However, thanks to that annoying monkey sound, I almost replaced him. Very annoying. Magnezone and Garchomp are used in other teams and Porygon-Z does see occasional online use.

====Platinum====
I had run Platinum shortly after it came out but made a mess of it. Used mostly old Pokémon and used Empoleon as an HM slave. Shame on me. So I restarted it and punished myself with not being allowed to heal in a Pokémon Center. Was only allowed to heal through items. How did that challenge go? Pretty well actually. Added an additional strategy to battles in needing to conserve HP and PP.
As for Platinum, if you don't know this already, it's a million times better than Diamond and Pearl, so if you've not played a Sinnoh game, Platinum is the one to get, hands down. As a whole, DPPt are upper middle in terms of Pokémon game quality to me. Definitely worth playing.

But what Pokémon did I take on my adventure?? Had to use proper, regional Pokémon, but that's ok, there's plenty of good options.
* Empoleon is great if a bit slow. But it takes hits and deals it back.
* Mothim was surprisingly usable. Too bad its movepool is terrible. Still, in the right situation, it works.
* Rotom is always a delight. I used regular Rotom for the extra Speed and I don't really like any of the formes that much.
* Rapidash was an odd choice, but to those that have played Diamond and Pearl, you know why. It's fast and strong. Works nicely.
* Garchomp wrecks. The end.
* Toxicroak is cool, but again, horrible movepool. Thankful for TMs.

====SoulSilver====
For the record, HGSS are awesome. Yea, there's some stuff here and there that could be {{tt|better|TM availability}}, or maybe some stuff that was removed from the originals that shouldn't have been {{tt|removed|room decorations}}, but it's still awesome. Started with Totodile, just like my old Silver, and with the Phys/Spec split, it's even more awesome than ever. I wanted to try some "{{tt|new|to me}}" guys, so I finally decided to try a Crobat, and surprisingly, training a horrible little Zubat was actually pretty fun, and Crobat is proving very useful. Swinub was quite a challenge, but all in all, Mamoswine is strong enough to make you forget. Hitmonlee is also proving very useful. Meanwhile, Houndoom in Johto? Feels good. Magneton can't evolve? Not a problem.

====Titanium Gym====
This is my old IPGL gym team. When I left the league, my overall tally for this team is an awesome 65 wins, and only 6 losses. I always lead with a Steel-type, but it changed depending on who I was facing. Now that I'm not battling anymore, I can openly say that both Lucario and Scizor run {{m|Swords Dance}} sets (although, I had alternate sets in my early matches) and when they were on the field, they nearly guaranteed me at least one, probably 2 kills each. Magnezone was a revenge killer, Steel trapper, and generally used for killing anything that was already damaged. It may sound weird, but basically, everyone knew I had Zone, but no one knew when they would see it. And as they pondered this, that's when it would surprise them. Metagross was just brute force. No real strategy on it except an unconventional moveset. Worked awesome. Skarmory and Empoleon rarely proved useful and were rarely used as a result. Our rules allowed 2 non-Steel-types allowed, so I chose Gliscor and Gyarados because they resisted a lot of the types that are strong against Steel. I didn't have much time to give them proper movesets, but they proved confounding enough that even with fairly straightforward attacking sets, they did exactly what I needed them to and cause the opponent to switch.

===Gen V===

|-

====White====
Gen V is here! WHAT?! NO MAGNEMITE?! It's true. For the first time since Gen I, I didn't use a Magnemite (before Megamite, I had a Raichu). Galvantula is pretty damn cool though, and with {{a|Compoundeyes}} it throws a mean {{m|Thunder}}. Granted, its a hell of a lot less powerful than Zone, and noticeably more frail. In this gen, I don't really like any of the starters. Game Freak really screwed this all up making Emboar another Fire/Fighting because really, Samurott should absolutely be Water/Fighting. Not to mention Samurott's really stupid stat spread, but regardless, it did a pretty good job. Sigilyph is just plain cool. It looks, sounds, and acts ridiculous, and with {{a|Magic Guard}}, it just doesn't care what you think. Good stat spread and great movepool. Chandelure and Mienshao were Pokemon I wanted pretty bad, but you only get late in the game. Thankfully, {{u|Umeko}} and {{u|Jo The Marten}} respectively traded me a bred Pokemon. Specially bred IV made them both killing machines. Then there's Excadrill. As soon as it was revealed I wanted one, and I searched FOREVER in [[Wellspring Cave]] for a good Drilbur. Can't tell you how long it took, but it payed off. By the way, in the interest of learning names, I didn't nickname anything. The nicknames listed are simply names they I called them myself.

====White 2====
With the unexpected changes brought by B2W2, I finally had myself a Magnemite in Unova! But what about the rest? I insisted on staying with Gen V Pokemon for the rest of the team. Emboar proved to be powerful, but lacking a friendly movepool. Rather aggravating having to gain BP to earn Brick Break just to give it something to use. Archeops had to be traded in (thanks Jo the Marten), but it is a beast. Give it {{m|Acrobatics}} and it will tear teams apart. Its defenses are terrible, but it was usually fast enough to OHKO anyway. The moveset changes were kind to Magnemite, giving it Flash Canon, but the TM changes meant Shock Wave was no longer available. Volt Switch is annoying to use in single player. Simipour had to be traded in (thanks again to Jo) because there's no way I'm going to wait for the tiny chance for one to pop-up. It proved to be just fast enough and just strong enough to provide the power I needed. Krookodile is awesome. Defenses were terrible, but it didn't care, it would rock the earth or just eat its opponents. The last spot changed hands a few times, but I eventually settled on Leavanny. I used it for a while, but I didn't want to saddle anyone with Cut and Dive. Basculin initially rounded out as an HM slave and never saw battle, but once I found out that Dive wasn't necessary at all, I brought Leavanny back. It is quite handy for dealing with Water/Ground Pokémon and is classy as hell (while it tears opponents in half).

====Black 2 Nuzlocke====
After much prodding, I finally got around to doing a [[Nuzlocke challenge]]. It went very well. Too well in-fact... I only lost ONE Pokémon (which you can read about in the next section).

Rules used:
* Can only catch the first encounter of every route
* If a Pokémon faints, it is dead and placed in the PC
* Dupes clause (can't catch anything that has already been caught, including evolution family members)
* Shiny clause (any encountered shiny may be caught and used, regardless of area catch)
* No legendaries
* Challenge Mode

The run got off to a rocky start. My first catch was Purrloin, which died in the gym battle against [[Cheren]]. After that loss, which was carelessness on my part, I decided to focus more. I must have done a good job because aside from a close call here and there, it was business as usual. The main issues were gym leaders. On challenge mode they have more Pokémon and better tactics. Easily, the biggest challenge was at the very end. The Elite Four each put up their own challenge, but [[Iris]] gave me a heart attack with her {{p|Haxorus}} with a damn [[Focus Sash]]. It used {{m|Dragon Dance}} which could have been a big problem. Thankfully, Iris (for whatever reason) opted not to heal, so one {{m|Aqua Jet}} and it was all over.

Samurott was solid, but I still don't think it's a very good Pokémon. Crobat was SHINY. Yes, I encountered a shiny Zubat in [[Castelia Sewers]]. I used a Zubat in SoulSilver and it was just as solid here. Magnezone was awesome (see below). Magmar was a nice addition that I didn't expect to go all the way, but it did, quite nicely. Sandslash proved to be just powerful enough, and just tanky enough to become a real clutch here and there. Scrafty was a bit of a pain. Very slow and very weak, but mine had Moxie which helped. Not sure I'd use one again though.
:A quick side note: There's a pattern among Nuzlockers of Magnemite failing to make it to the end. I chose to run B2W2 so I could have a good chance at getting an early Magnemite. I did, and it proceeded to essentially be an {{wp|MVP}}. Tanking hits, dishing damage, and {{m|Thunder Wave}} support. If you lose a Magnemite during a run, then you are doing something wrong.

=====Notable members=====
* Poor Purrloin got smashed by a +2 {{m|Tackle}} from Cheren's Lillipup. I got overzealous and figured Cheren wouldn't be an issue, but after a few {{m|Work Up}}s, Lillipup brought me back to reality.
* Herdier was an early catch that proved very reliable. STAB Normal moves early in the game and solid stats had me thinking I may keep her, but when I got Scrafty, I decided that STAB Fighting-type moves would prove more useful and Herdier was put on the bench.
* As a Sewaddle and Swadloon, Leavanny was an early game tank, surprising as it may sound. But, not only had I already used one in my main W2 run, but it didn't really fit into the team, and I swapped it out for Sandslash.

===Gen VI===
{| style="background: #{{steel color light}};" class="expandable"

|-

====Y====
Well, after the arguable disappointment that was Gen V, Gen VI came to life ''in 3D!!'' However, what they gave us in fancy graphics and inappropriate Pokémon touching, they forgot to actually give us some Pokémon to play with. Building an all Gen VI team proved nearly impossible with my requirement to have a Ground-type, and there only be TWO....'''''TWO''''' released, one of which was legendary, but I found a way around it. More on that in a moment. Unlike Gen V where all the starters sucked, Gen VI has three great starters (even Grass!). After much hemming and hawing, I chose Froakie. I later regretted it after deciding a liked Delphox more, but Greninja proved to be a worthy team member. Fast and just powerful enough. Next was Hawlucha who was pretty fun, albeit a little underpowered. Heliolisk is a bit of a mess, but it works. Decent stats and Dry Skin is very handy for an Electric-type, but why is it part Normal? Why not part Ground or Rock? Anyway, Pyroar is awesome, if limited in its purpose due to a shallow movepool. Diggersby is one of the ugliest and most useless Pokémon ever created, BUT I nabbed one with Huge Power which makes it a complete beast. Then there's Aegislash whom I think is kinda cool, but gimmicky and a real pain to use. Overall, this team is pretty meh (three Normal-types!) but I had a pretty limited list to work with. Really Game Freak? Only 69 new Pokémon? C'mon... Those lame Mega Evolutions don't count...

====Alpha Sapphire====
Instead of my usual mini-review of the game, I went full on and wrote an actual article on Bulbanews which you can read [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Omega_Ruby_and_Alpha_Sapphire:_A_retrospective_review right here]. I got a ton of positive feedback from people. Even those that disagreed with me. I'm really happy with how the review turned out, but a big thing I forgot to mention is the lack of character customization. Masuda says it's because Brendan and May have set designs, but I don't see how at least offering skin, hair, or clothing color changes would have been out of the question. But anyway, the review can be heavily summed up as, the game was disappointing for me. It's a near 1:1 remake with very little changed.

As for my team, I carefully chose this team around a lack of Flying-type, because Hoenn lacks any good ones. It also contained three Pokémon I had never used before. I was curious how it would turn out. Well, it turned out...ok. Not great, but not bad. Blaziken lead the team as awesome as always. I was planning to use a Flygon, so {{u|Jo_The_Marten}} hooked me up with a really well-bred Trapinch. A really great team member. In my recent attempts to use other Electric-types, Manectric was put on the team. It turned out ok and did its job, but Speed aside, couldn't compete with the power and durability of Magnezone. Sharpedo was a gift from {{u|SharKing}} and was the biggest problem member of the team. It was beastly in attack power, but the super low defenses were an issue at times. However, the biggest issue was simply being a Physical Water-type. Rock and Ground-types have high Defenses, and a lot of Fire-types have Flame Body. Sharpedo can be fun to use, and is awesome to Surf on in ORAS, but by no real fault of its own, proved to be a bit of a hassle. I'm really going to lessen my use of Physical Water-types in the future. Next was Gardevoir. After finally evolving from Kirlia, Gardevoir was just a monster, killing most things in one hit. Not much else to say. Gardevoir rocked. Also, Roserade was a beast. I rarely find places for Grass-types on my teams, but I wanted a Poison-type to handle the new Fairy-types in the game, and Roserade was awesome. Fast, powerful, and even able to take some Special Attacks.

===Gen VII===
{| style="background: #{{steel color light}};" class="expandable"
|
|-
|

====Moon====
The hype train for Gen VII was huge. The reveal alone proved that X and Y were merely test beds for a Pokémon game in 3DS. So with Gen VI out of the way, they could really flex their muscles, and they went all in on making a new and unique experience. Gone were gyms, badges, HMs, and instead we got Totem Pokémon and a rich story that takes center stage featuring an all new kind of Pokémon. [[Ultra Beast]]s! So how did it go over? Was it the amazing new direction that the fans were dying for? Did my cold, dark heart get turned on by the rich landscapes and deep character progression? 
Not really. 
Most fans were mixed. Some praising the changes, other loathing them. I'm right in the middle. I certainly didn't hate the games, but I personally found all the changes pretty redundant. Totem battles are a little more challenging than gym battles, but the lack of gym and trainers really took the feel of grandeur away from the experience for me. Also, the story, while a lot deeper than previous games, was interesting, but I personally feel like Ultra Beasts are just legendaries by a different name. I did like a lot of the new characters, so that's a plus. 
On the downside, a LOT less Pokémon. Take out Ultra Beasts and legendaries, and we are left with '''62''' Pokémon. Seriously?? Take away the starters and version exclusives and you get '''''51''''' new, available Pokémon. To supplement this, we got Alolan [[Regional form|regional variant]]s. They're ok, but they're too few to make a big difference. Overall, I was slightly disappointed with Sun and Moon, but it was definitely worth them trying new things, so I'm not too mad about it.

But making a team out of only 51 Pokémon proved a little difficult, but I managed to do it.
* Popplio is not a design I liked too much, but the evolution line makes up for it in sheer battling ability. Primarina is a fantastic Pokémon. Takes hits and dishes huge damage in return.
* Toucannon is really straightforward. Normal/Flying with usable Speed and massive Attack. Compliment that with a fantastic ability ({{a|Skill Link}}) and you get a solid, reliable Pokémon. Also, I love how continuously angry it is.
* I actually didn't plan to use Magnemite, but I caught a Modest one with amazing IVs in [[Hau'oli City]] and had to use it. Decided to keep it as a Magneton to take advantage of the higher Speed. Magneton worked great as always.
* Took a while to find a good, female Salandit, but worth it. Salazzle is a bit weak in defenses, but has the power, versatility, and speed to make up for it.
* Wasn't sure about Mudsdale, given it's atrocious Speed, but with it's {{a|Stamina}} Ability continuously bolstering it's awesome Defense, and huge Attack, Mudsdale could take pretty much any hit, shrug it off, and slam right back. Solid Pokémon.
* Bewear is an odd Pokémon. Massive size, massive power, tiny Cry. Also, it's pink. It does what it does, and what it does is deal massive damage. It's almost too straightforward for me to truly love it, but I was glad it was on my side.

====Ultra Sun====
In the previous section, I basically described Sun and Moon as an experiment in trying new things. When they announced UltraSun and UltraMoon, I was intrigued. Black 2 and White 2 proved that they could make a fantastic sequel to a Pokémon game and I was really hoping they would do it again. Sun and Moon were all about new, and fresh ideas. It would have been awesome if they could make sequels that built on the introduced material. 
They didn't. 
USUM are, in my opinion, hugely disappointing and borderline pointless. They are basically Sun and Moon with some tweaks to the story and minor quality of life improvements. It took me quite a while to beat these games because I simply didn't feel like it. They're so similar to Sun and Moon that I tell people, if you haven't played SM, play USUM instead. If you have played SM, then don't bother with USUM as it's basically the same game. They feel like remakes of a game released in the same generation, rather than whole new games. Disappointing and pointless games.

As mentioned in my Moon rundown, the number of regional Pokémon was very limited, so I had to get creative. The results were decidedly mixed.
* Decidueye was my first Grass starter since Bulbasaur. Yea, I rarely pick Grass starters and...I now know why. Decidueye is very good, but wasn't nearly as versatile as Primarina was in my previous run. But I love it's design.
* I bred for a Modest Oricorio that had Hidden Power Fire because Oricorio, while good, has no non-Flying STAB moves available to it. Did the effort pay off? Eh... It's reasonably fast and strong but stupidly limited. Why such a bad movepool, Game Freak??
* I was very hesitant to use a Ribombee. It seemed too cutesy to be usable, but I was very wrong. Can't take a hit, but it's fast, powerful, and versatile. Can't get hit if you OHKO the opponent first!
* What?? Lunatone?? Hell yea. It's typing fit my team perfectly and I briefly used one in Sapphire years ago. With it's Gen VII stat boost, I traded one in and it worked so well!! A true underdog and unexpected delight. Great Pokémon.
* Alolan Dugtrio get the award for biggest disappointment. Yea, it's fast and strong, but it can't take a hit ''at all'' and has surprisingly limited moves. Also, never was a fan of the long hair. {{a|Tangling Hair}} was pretty useful, though.
* Kommo-o was brought in from my Moon game. Takes forever to train it, but is extremely rewarding. It takes so long to train but didn't frustrate me. I grew really attached to it and am glad I gave it a shot.

Sword and Shield suck and I can't be bothered to make a fancy table for my team. These games are so boring and lifeless. Some of the music is good, though.

====PLA====
Legends: Arceus showed us what a proper open world Pokémon game could be. It looks pretty bad, and it's fairly straightforward, but the gameplay is fun, and that's what counts. It isn't perfect, but I enjoyed these games more than any Pokémon since Gen 5. I can only hope we get more games like this with some expansion in how the progression, the setting, and features.

My team in this game had a lot of swapping as I progressed, but these are the ones I ended up using [https://twitter.com/MAGNEDETH/status/1528494058292727808 to the end].

====BDSP====
These are the laziest, lifeless, most half-assed games that Pokémon has gotten and are an insult to the originals, the franchise, and players. I intentionally refrained from evolving some of my Pokémon, or giving them their best moves, until after beating the E4 just so I could have any semblance of a challenge, and even then, only [[Cynthia]] posed any real threat. I hope and pray that the Pokémon franchise never has to experience the embarassment of a game even remotely as bad as these. I will never give this game a fancy table.

It isn't my Pokémon's fault. They did their job. Albeit, they didn't have to work very hard through the cakewalk that is BDSP's version of Sinnoh.

====Violet====
If Game Freak can't be bothered to make a properly functioning game with consistent framerate and some semblance of direction, then I can't be bothered to make a fancy table for my team. Some of the characters and writing are good, though. At least we got a new Magnemite family member.

The team did great, but thanks to the total lack of a proper progression system, there wasn't a lot of difficulty, compounded by [[Geeta]] being the easiest Champion in series history. I admit, [[Nemona]] put of a decent fight at the end, though. Special mention to Lokix for unexpectedly being a great little house cleaner. Would mop up anything the rest of the team didn't want to.

==Favorite Pokémon==
All Pokémon listed below are in order of Pokédex, not the order I like them.

===Gen I===
I like a lot of Gen I Pokémon, but I fully admit that it's based heavily on nostalgia. I grew up with these Pokémon, so there's very few I actively dislike. Some will argue that Gen I had some boring designs, but I argue that it was their first outing. It was a simpler time. Besides, there's nothing wrong with a simple design. Moreover, there are plenty of completely original designs as well. I swear some people just look for reasons to hate on Gen I.

| class="l" | No real story here, it was my Blue starter, liked it since. I think it can best be described as "quiet attitude." Haven't used it much since Gen I, but it doesn't matter. You never forget your first. Statistically has the best stats in Gen I, but {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}} are fairly useless types in the grand scheme. However, the Physical/Special split gives it a lot of new versatility and the new Fairy-type being weak to Poison gives it a new target to destroy. Venusaur has been a silent hero for years, but with these changes, it's all looking up for ol' Venusaur....

Ridiculously versatile with solid stats and a movepool that stretches around the world....twice. Got a nice bump in power in Gen VI, too! But let's not forget, just look at him, look! One of the most straightforward and badass designs in Pokémon. ANGER. SPIKES. FANGS. CLAWS. NIDOKING HAS IT ALL. Whether it be quick brutality of {{m|Earthquake}} or the slow HP sap of Poison, Nidoking rocks. Nidoking is my next favorite Pokémon behind the Magnemite family.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Primeape}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 057.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:057Primeape.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I am not generally a fan of monkey Pokémon because I'm not really a fan of monkeys in general. But Primeape doesn't care. Primeape is too angry to care what I think, and I respect that. Hits fast and hard with utter simplicity. There's not much to say about Primeape because it lays all its cards down at all times. It goes into battle with no care for its own self. It just wants to win.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Magnemite}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 081.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:081Magnemite.png|100px]]
| class="l" | What is Magnemite? No one knows. Some people just say "it's a Magnet" but that would ignore the sphere, eye, and screws. Magnemite can not be properly described. That is one of the reasons I love it. I have been a fan of Magnemite since I first saw it. This ridiculous looking Pokémon with it's equally ridiculous cry. I am genuinely annoyed that with every update to in-game cries, Magnemite's gets worse. But that's ok. It isn't jsust the look or the sound, it's also the sheer power this little guy has. It's super durable and can deal massive damage. All this combines is why I love Magnemite. It takes hits, fires back twice as hard, and all the while simply not giving a damn. Magnemite is what it is and nothing else. Except no substitutes, Magnemite will always be my favorite.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Magneton}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 082.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:082Magneton.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Ok, even I admit, Magneton is not the most complex Pokémon. It really is just three Magnemite stuck together. But I'm ok with that because it means we get three times the Magnemite! Magneton demonstrates the fundamentals of magnetism in the most basic way possible. While it comes off as a slightly lazy design, it does lead to some fantastic animations in whatever game it happens to be in, and that's where Magneton shines. Watching the three Magnemite spin around and organize powerful attacks in whatever game you're playing is always a treat. If you don't like Magnemite, you won't like Magneton. But I do, so I do. Respect the magnet trio because if you don't, just remember, 120 Special Attack.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Dodrio}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 085.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:085Dodrio.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I overlooked Dodrio for a long time, but when I finally noticed, I realized it is really good. Fast, hits hard, and it has three heads! Its almost like a bird version of The Three Stooges if you think about it. The combination of easy to use and ridiculous design is a winning combination every time. I wish I had more to say about a three-headed bird that can't fly, but I don't. Dodrio is just a damn good Pokémon.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Kingler}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 099.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:099Kingler.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Giant Crab. Giant claws. ''And'' it walks sideways! Weeee!! THANK YOU GEN IV SPLIT!! As soon as I heard of the Physical/Special split, Kingler was #1 on my mind. Always a cool design, but when it was able to start using Physical STAB attacks, I knew it would be great fun to use. Power aside, this giant, cookie loving crab is often overlooked. But that just means less people see it coming when it smashes their faces in.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Hitmonlee}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 106.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:106Hitmonlee.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another Pokémon I overlooked for a long time, but better late than never I guess. The design of it is baffling, but that doesn't matter when it can kick you from across the room. This is another Pokémon that doesn't need crazy gimmicks to work which is why I like it. Huge Attack with powerful attacks. Being such a rarity for years, it holds a special place in my mind. It's just plain fun to use.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Pinsir}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 127.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:127Pinsir.png|100px]]
| class="l" | IT'S A WALKING GUILLOTINE!! If it were real, I bet it would murder people for fun. You do not mess with Pinsir. Thanks to Gen IV, it explodes out of the gate thanks to {{m|X-Scissor}}, and can commence a serious beat down. I've never used a Pinsir on any of my teams, but the design of it is so awesome that I don't have to.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Porygon}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 137.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:137Porygon.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Similar to Magnemite, the sound it makes was the real attention grabber. Then the appearance. Those sharp edges, pointy tail, and duck face. Finally, the sheer hilarity of it all. Sadly, it got completely ruined by Pikachu in [[EP038]], so Game Freak will never give it any sort of attention. Yea, it got evolutions, but Porygon itself is usually left behind. If you don't like it for it's silliness, then at least feel bad for it.

Basically, Pokémon I really like, but don't have enough to say to warrant a full explanation.

===Gen II===
Similar to Gen I, I like a lot of Gen II Pokémon based on nostalgia, but you can tell that some of the Pokémon inclusions were starting to walk the line between originality and gimmicky. You can also see some of the designs get a little more complex. But still, some great Pokémon, albeit, not a very powerful generation...

| class="l" | {{p|Typhlosion}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 157.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:157Typhlosion.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another awesome Pokemon given to you for free, and it doesn't have that nasty {{type|Flying}} to bother with extra weakness. Thanks to Typhlosion only being seriously available in G/S/C, I've found it to be a "want what you can't have" and that makes me like it more. Didn't wear out its welcome. Big and mean when it needs to, but warm and fuzzy otherwise. Typhlosion is just a solid design and friend to everyone (except to enemies WHO MUST BURN).
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Feraligatr}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 160.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:160Feraligatr.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Although hindered by being a physical Water-type, Feraligatr doesn't care. Whether it's crushing opponents in it's jaws, or dancing the night away, Feraligatr does it all. My first Gen II starter, so I am slightly bias, but even through the years, my adoration for this big gator is still strong. Besides, Feraligatr and I both share an affinity to misspelled names.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Flaaffy}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 180.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:180Flaaffy.png|100px]]
| class="l" |SHEEP!!! It's a sheep, ''AND'' a Pokémon!! Flaaffy and Mareep, the look, the sound, just hilarious. On a strict novelty basis, oh yes. Flaaffy is still a sheep, and it still sounds hilarious. But, when it evolves, [[User:MAGNEDETH/hate#Gen II|it's all over]]. I have been a fan of Mareep and Flaaffy ever since I laid eyes on them. They don't need to be good in battle to win my heart.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Unown}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 201.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:201Unown.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I don't know why but I was always obsessed with these things. They are so weird and funny. If only they were useful. I always wonder if they could form together and make a super Unown or something. Regardless, I always enjoy when they pop up.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Pineco}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 204.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:204Pineco.png|100px]]
| class="l" | It's a pine cone, AND a Pokémon!! WHAT A HILARIOUS CONCEPT!! Seriously, Pineco is awesome. Between this, the sheep, Unown, and many others, Gen II had some amazing designs for Pokémon. I'm being half-sarcastic with that, but I refuse to elaborate. Just accept that Pineco is cool and move on.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Steelix}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 208.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:208Steelix.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Being the intro for {{t|Steel}}, Nintendo needed a good first show, and here it is. A giant snake made of Steel. Looks awesome, sounds awesome, and is way better than {{p|Onix}}. It will wall the hell out of physical attacks, but just keep those {{m|Water Gun}}s away from it.... Still, Steelix looks and sounds good.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Scizor}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 212.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:212Scizor.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another crazy new Steel-type, and they pulled it off. Excellent stats except {{stat|Speed}}, but if it did have more Speed, it would be unstoppable. Even so, when I did a lot of competitive battling, Scizor was a huge asset to the team. Speed is useless when you can abuse increased priority and {{a|Technician}}. Scizor had some growing pains by way of crap moves in Gen II, but these days, it's a proper beast.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Heracross}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 214.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:214Heracross.png|100px]]
| class="l" | This big, bad, bug with a giant horn is an odd one. You'd be forgiven to think it's just a gimmick, but Heracross can deliver quite a beatdown. It took a couple generations before they gave it any properly useful moves outside of {{m|Megahorn}} (and {{m|Reversal}} I guess) but regardless, it's a fun design. I helps that hercules beetles are just plain cool.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Houndoom}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 229.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:229Houndoom.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another Gen II type intro. This time, the {{t|Dark}} intro. '''Hellgar''' is one of those Pokémon that I don't understand anyone not liking. Aside from being a good boy at heart, It can rip threw opponents with ease thanks to solid moves and stats. Great design, stats, and moves. This evil pup is just fantastic.

===Gen III===
Here we have the first Generation that I had no nostalgia goggles on. While I like far fewer in general, I still like a solid amount overall. You can clearly see the increase in design complexity overall, but some of that is what helped define Hoenn's overall motif.

| class="l" | {{p|Blaziken}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 257.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:257Blaziken.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Unique type combo (at the time) and great stats. It's also the most useful {{type|Fire}} in [[Hoenn]] (that may be a matter of opinion). Flaming kick to the face. '''''BAM!!''''' {{p|Infernape}} tried to dethrone, but failed (in my opinion anyway). Blaziken is just plain cool. The fact it's a beast in battle just adds to the spectacle.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Lotad}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 270.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:270Lotad.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Lotad gets the coveted Magnemite Award for a Pokémon that offers instant gratification to any who lay their eyes upon it for the first time. Similar to Magnemite, the moment I saw Lotad, I loved it. It's a clever design done as straight as possible. The name alone makes me smile as well. Lotad wins on all fronts.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Gardevoir}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 282.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:282Gardevoir.png|100px]]
| class="l" | There's a respectable elegance to how Gardevoir, if it were real, would likely battle with a smooth flow, while also dishing out massive damage. Some may like Gardevoir for rather unsavory reasons, but I always liked it for it's simple battling prowess and design. It's a surprisingly straightforward design if you think about it.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Breloom}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 286.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:286Breloom.png|100px]]
| class="l" | The fact it evolves from a pod-like blob of grass is great. Go from this horrid little nothing to...whatever Breloom is supposed to be, but with immense {{stat|Attack}} and you win! When I first played, Sapphire, I already knew what it was, but I wish I could have had this evolution surprise unspoiled. Breloom has a silly design and a ton of power to let people know it doesn't care what you think.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Trapinch}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 328.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:328Trapinch.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Similar to Lotad, the moment I saw Trapinch, I loved it. This tiny ant with a giant head. You'd feel sorry for it until you realize it has a massive Attack stat. It's about as slow as molasses in the winter, but don't run from little Trapinch. Take it as your own and you shall be rewarded...
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Flygon}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 330.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:330Flygon.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A big, friendly killer. There's a lot to like about Flygon. Fast, strong, some respectable versatility, and when the battle is won, you can fly to your next destination on it. It's the sort of excellent design that can be either cute or fearsome. This is another Pokémon that I can't see people disliking.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Lunatone}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 337.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:337Lunatone.png|100px]]
| class="l" | What we have here is a crescent moon with a giant eye and pointy mouth in the middle. I love Lunatone. Although part of a duo with {{p|Solrock}}, I briefly used one in a Sapphire run to tank hits, and enjoyed its company. Thanks to a nice boost in HP as of Gen VII, it's even better at doing that. All the while, it has a great Special Attack. More people need to give Lunatone a chance. Well, after they remember it exists, I guess.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Metagross}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 376.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:376Metagross.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Huge Pokémon with huge popularity. I can't blame the masses for liking Metagross. It's a big beast with a super high IQ and ability to fly. It takes hits, it deals hits, and can do it all day. Just an awesome design overall and tons of fun to use.

===Gen IV===
A weird generation that gave us a mix of all new and refreshed classics. There's not as many here that I like in terms of the completely original additions, but the new evolutions gave some much needed help to classics while also complimenting a fair number of the new Pokémon. Designs of this generation I'd say are arguable the best with a nice mix of complex and clean designs all around.

| class="l" | {{p|Empoleon}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 395.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:395Empoleon.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Although I'd still greatly prefer Empoleon as a part Ice instead of Steel, it doesn't make a huge difference. Solid bulk and power make Empoleon a surprising powerhouse. I say surprising because for some reason, people don't seem to realize that Empoleon packs quite a punch. All the better to surprise opponents with...
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Staraptor}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 398 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:398Staraptor.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A regional bird done very right. We haven't seen a Normal/Flying bird this deadly since Dodrio, and not even Dodrio can hold up to Staraptor's 120 Attack power and great coverage. I think with some tweaks, Staraptor could have been part Fighting, but it wasn't meant to be. Still, it could easily tear through unprepared opponents while maintaining fantastic hair.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Garchomp}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 445 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:445Garchomp.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Garchomp was an instant favorite of mine as soon as I knew it existed. A literal shark on land, it has the power to back up the looks. I don't really have much to say about it. I feel like it's so obvious how awesome Garchomp is.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Lucario}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 448.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:448Lucario.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I wasn't as sold on Lucario as easily as everyone else was. It had to prove to me that it was as good as everyone said. So it did. When I used one online, it may have been my MVP. My Lucario ripped through not just Pokémon, but sometimes whole teams with ease. Lucario earned my respect, and I didn't have to watch a movie to understand the appeal.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Weavile}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 461 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:461Weavile.png|100px]]
| class="l" | It was awesome when they did the Physical/Special split and made Sneasel useful, but then they cranked it up to 11 and gave us Weavile. Quite a glass canon with it's awesome speed and power with paper defenses, but who cares? It's arguably one of the coolest Pokémon around.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Magnezone}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 462.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:462Magnezone.png|100px]]
| class="l" | When Gen IV was announced and people told me Magneton got an evolution, I was very hesitant. Even after I saw Magnezone for the first time, I was a little put off. Is this some kind of UFO or something? That doesn't make sense. I was frequently asked what I thought about it, and for a while, I wasn't sure. But a few things happened. First, I saw it's stats and used one. The sheer power Magnezone has combined with it's even greater bulk makes for an awesome combo. (Still not sure why they nerfed the Speed though.) But second, and most importantly, I simple grew to appreciate the design. It's basically a hugely overgrown Magnemite. Talk about more to love. Similar to Magneton, I can see why some would be put off, but I have grown to really like Magnezone and welcome it to the family.

| class="l" | {{p|Togekiss}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 468.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:468Togekiss.png|100px]]
| class="l" | One of the first Gen IV Pokémon I trained for online battles was a Togekiss. I liked it's well distributed stats and huge movepool. These attributes were well founded as Togekiss became a really reliable team member for me. Appearance wise, I think it's a bit bloated, but it doesn't bother me too much. And when it's shooting {{m|Aura Sphere}}'s through opponents, or getting {{a|Serene Grace}} flinch hax, it doesn't matter what it looks like.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Yanmega}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 469.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:469Yanmega.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Take innocent little Yanma and drop radioactive ooze all over it, and you get Yanmega! I loved the design the moment I saw it, and I still think it looks great. Amazing ability and fantastic stats mean it's also super useful. Not a lot else to say here. Dragonflies are cool and Yanmega is too.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Gliscor}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 472.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:472Gliscor.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another Pokémon that got a properly angry makeover with its evolution. Doesn't get the huge Attack I would expect, but it's usable enough and has options for days with high Defense, Speed, and some great moves. Again not too much to say other than, it's great.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Mamoswine}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 473 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:473Mamoswine.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Piloswine was a real unfortunate case. Powerful, but too many weaknesses to overcome it's horrid Speed. So now we have Mamoswine. Just fast enough to outrun some baddies, and a massive attack stat to make sure that they don't get a second chance to attack. It's a bit of a doofy design, but I sort of instantly liked it when I saw it the first time.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Porygon-Z}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 474.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:474Porygon-Z.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Porygon is cooler, but Z has so much {{stat|Special Attack}}, it could spare some for the poor. But it won't. What Z lacks in charm, it makes up for in sheer insanity. It's design is literally broken, but with {{a|Adaptability}} and a massive Special Attack, it could blast holes through just about anything in its way.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Gallade}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 475.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:475Gallade.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A somewhat unexpected split evolution, but very welcome. Take the elegant dancing of Gardevoir and make it a swordsmen instead. Gallade wasn't expected, but makes perfect sense. It's a lot of fun to use and makes some cool noises, too. Would have been nice to get this in Gen III so we're not left with such an awkward evolution split, but whatever. At least we got Gallade in the first place.

===Gen V===
The first Generation since...the first to include enough new Pokémon that they didn't need outside additions. This was a huge thing and with it a lot of cool new Pokémon. Some people take issue with the originality of some revealed in this generation, and I understand that, but look past them and at the real gems of this generation.

| class="l" | {{p|Excadrill}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 530.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:530Excadrill.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Fast, hard hitting, metal mole. That is a recipe for awesome. I searched forever when I first played White to find a good Nature Drilbur in those damn dust clouds, but I'm glad I did because Excadrill is just pure destruction. Great Speed and tons of Attack power.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Leavanny}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 542.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:542Leavanny.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Leavanny looks harmless, but when you're not looking, it can slice you in half. Well rounded stats, a slick movepool, and early availability make it an easy choice for a team member. I didn't start using one until half-way through a run, just wanting something to fill a niche, and Leavanny was exactly what I needed. An unexpectedly great Pokémon.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Krookodile}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 553.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:553Krookodile.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Two amazingly awesome Ground-types in one Generation. Krookodile lacks the drill on it's head but makes up for it with built-in sunglasses. I don;t know if any Pokémon can tough the cool factor of Krookodile. Not just a cool customer, it can also destroy opponents with ease. Huge Attack and great Speed make using it easy and fun.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Sigilyph}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 561.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:561Sigilyph.png|100px]]
| class="l" | What we have here is possibly one of the most ridiculous designs in the entire series. Of all the things to make a Pokémon on, Game Freak gave us a living embodiment of the {{wp|Nazca Lines}}. No one saw that coming and if anyone says they did, they're a liar. Great thing about Sigilyph is that while opponents are trying to determine what it is, it can easily destroy them with great Speed, Special Attack, and {{a|Magic Guard}}. To me, Sigilyph is just plain awesome.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Archeops}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 567.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:567Archeops.png|100px]]
| class="l" | While Defeatist is annoying, when it ISN'T activated, Archeops is just insane. It looks like it tripped and fell into a bunch of paint, but don't let appearances deceive you. When at full power, Archeops delivers some of the hardest hits in the entire series. Ripping through the Battle Subway is almost too easy with Archeops.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Galvantula}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 596.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:596Galvantula.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Here we have an electrified tarantula that evolves from a tick. Pokémon, man...it's great. Another crazy design but it works so well. I was instantly interested in Galvantula as soon as it was revealed. Great stats and a very useful {{a|Compoundeyes}} Ability makes Galvantula one of the few useful spiders seen in Pokémon. (Seriously, why do so many spider Pokémon suck?)
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Chandelure}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 609.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:609Chandelure.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Two sides to the coin here. On the face of things, it's an interesting concept. A ghostly chandelier. That alone is pretty cool. But a staggering 145 Special Attack makes it absolutely insane. When I saw the stats on this thing, I genuinely didn't believe it. But believe it. Chandelure is amazing. Simple and effective design with astronomical power to take out the haters.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Mienshao}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 620.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:620Mienshao.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A textbook Fighting-type with a bizarre appearance. Fast, incredibly powerful, but frail. That's all it needs to be. Making it look like a cat in long sleeves that can't sit still just means you won't be expecting the destruction.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Golurk}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 623.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:623Golurk.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Big ghostly statue that causes earthquakes. What is this thing and why can it fly? It doesn't matter because Golurk has no time for your judgemental opinions. There's a lot to like here with it's unique typing and powerful Attack stat. Add this to the pile of Pokémon that people simply shouldn't dislike.

===Gen VI===
The infamous Gen VI. A pitiful, and frankly embarrassing amount of Pokémon introduced in this generation. But to be fair, it's a case of quality over quantity because there are some awesome Pokémon in here. Just not a lot of them. There's even fewer because we never got an additional game, so it's the only generation I've only played once. If I replay it at some point, some opinions may change.

| class="c" | [[File:668Pyroar Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:668Pyroar-Female.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Simple and effective. The king of the jungle comes to France...for some reason...and makes a name for itself as a reliable, if slightly unremarkable, Pokémon. It doesn't really do anything in particular better than others, but it's stoic and reliable in it's ability to destroy, just a lion should be.

| class="c" | [[File:689Barbaracle Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:689Barbaracle.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I've never used a Barbaracle, and due to my dislike of physical Water-types, not sure I will. But while most people find it ugly and confusing, I think this thing is great. Barbaracle is all claws at all times. Any angle you approach it, you are going to have to deal with claws. It's just cool.

| class="l" | This is the insanity I want. It fights, it flies, and has a crazy outfit to top it off. Slightly lacking in sheer power, but that doesn't stop it from flying around the battlefield smashing everything it wants. A lot of fun to use. So glad that they finally delivered a Fighting/Flying, and it was something as cool as Hawlucha.

===Gen VI===
Gen VII...oh dear... I mean, there's technically more Pokémon to pick from, and having played through the region twice, I have a better understanding of Pokémon I do and don't like. But still, the disappointment is strong... Worth noting that if I really liked any Alolan variants, they'd be here.

| class="c" | [[File:724Decidueye.png|100px]]
| class="l" | This whole evolution line have great designs. Decidueye in particular looks great. Using it's hood vines to tighten focus and launch precision bow shots is so cool. In battle, I'd say it's only a bit better than mediocre, but it get's the job done.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Primarina}}
| class="c" | [[File:730Primarina Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:730Primarina.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I was hesitant to pick Popplio with its goofy design, but I'm glad I did because Primarina is so damn good that it makes the short lived goofy phase totally worth it. Tons of power, bulky defenses, and great moves. It's almost like the Gardevoir of the sea in how it battles. Strong, but elegant.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Toucannon}}
| class="c" | [[File:733Toucannon Dream.png|100px]]

| class="l" | Talk about an angry bird! Ha Ha! Crappy mobile game... Yea, Toucannon is great for many reasons. It is perpetually pissed off, which I can totally relate to. It also has a ton of tricks in battle, be it {{a|Skill Link}}, {{m|Beak Blast}}, or just straight up using it's huge Attack stat. But at the end of the day, it is based on a toucan. And if you don't like toucans, then what's wrong with you?
|-

| class="c" | [[File:743Ribombee Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:743Ribombee.png|100px]]
| class="l" | The underdog, er, bug of the Generation. Highly effective and rocking that stylish scarf on the battlefield with ease. I really didn't expect much from this little bug, but it impressed me a lot.
|-

| class="c" | [[File:750Mudsdale Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:750Mudsdale.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Big horse tank hits. It's odd because real horses a sort of fickle things. They can get sick and die fairly easily, but not Mudsdale. Absolute beast of a Pokémon. It shrugs off all physical hits, and even some special ones. Then after that, it hits back like a semi-truck.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Salazzle}}
| class="c" | [[File:758Salazzle Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:758Salazzle.png|100px]]
| class="l" | When not keeping its harem in line, Salazzle is on the battlefield, sneaking through defenses of unsuspecting opponents. It then has the decision of whether to burn them alive or poison them slowly. Either way, Salazzle gets the job done.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Kommo-o}}
| class="c" | [[File:784Kommo-o Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:784Kommo-o.png|100px]]
| class="l" | It's easy for people to like pseudo-legendaries, as they're usually super strong and cool. Kommo-o is as such, but when you find one in the game, it's already near evolution time. Do the right thing and raise one from the start. It's more rewarding. Starting with {{p|Jangmo-o}} makes you appreciate the bulk and power of Kommo-o even more.

==Introduction==
I am a former {{bp|Editor-in-Chief}} of Bulbapedia. I joined on December 9, 2007, worked hard enough to get nominated for a staff position, and clawed my way up from there. That's right, you too can be EiC. All it takes is hard work, dedication, and all those other inspirational things you hear about getting ahead in life. After being EiC for a while, I decided that I wanted to focus on the user experience. My main goal as EiC was to make everything easier to understand and help my fellow user find the page they want as efficiently as possible, and when they get there, I want it to be full of all the juicy info you need organized around some fancy and colorful templates.

I've been a fan since [[Generation I]], but near the end of [[Generation II]], I lost interest. After seeing {{p|Beautifly}}, I figured Game Freak had run out of {{p|Butterfree|original ideas}}, so I skipped [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]], but the remakes of Gen I brought me back. Thanks to [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], I also invested a little time checking out [[Generation III]] Pokémon and came to the realization that some of them were actually {{p|Blaziken|pretty}} {{p|Flygon|original}}. As for [[Generation IV]], I wasn't going to jump in, but after a friend of mine did first, I decided to check it out. I had to investigate the all new {{p|Magnezone|Magnemite evolution}} and get in on that Wi-Fi action. While looking for info to educate myself on what I missed during my Poké-hiatus, I found Bulbapedia. The rest is history.

On December 9, 2012, exactly 5 years after joining Bulbapedia, I decided to step down from my position as Editor-in-Chief. You can read about my decision in {{bp|Messages_from_the_Editor#December_9|this message from the editor}}. Thanks to all the staff and fans for helping out during my tenure. I'm not leaving though, so don't worry, I'll still be around.

On March 9, 2015, I published my first proper Bulbanews article regarding a retrospective of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]] as well as [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. I put a lot of effort into it and got a lot of positive feedback from people. You can check it out [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Omega_Ruby_and_Alpha_Sapphire:_A_retrospective_review right here].

==Teams==

My teams follow a simple pattern.
# [[first partner Pokémon|Starter]]
# {{m|Fly}}er
# {{p|Magnemite}}
# {{m|Surf}}er
# {{m|Earthquake}}-er
# [[HM slave]]/Powerhouse
Certain Pokémon get placed in the same position. However, Flygon on my Sapphire team is a good example of how this isn't always the case. I don't know why or how I started doing things this way, but, it's nice to be organized. It should be noted though that this doesn't mean I'm going to send the same Pokémon out first every time if you battle me online.

Back in the day when legendaries we're the only way to go and if you didn't have a Mewtwo, you were a nobody. I had an {{p|Articuno}} (named "Icy") which was mostly for {{m|Fly}}ing, but, also good for beating Lance. Megamite is a Level 100 Magnemite, and the rest are what you'd expect.

===Red===
'''THIS GAME HAS BEEN LOST.''' I started with {{p|Squirtle}}.

===Yellow===
I had never played Yellow version before 2010. Namely because I hate Pikachu. Well, a friend was cleaning his place, and found 3(!) copies and gave them all to me. I gave away two of them, and decided I might as well beat Yellow. 
But fate would not have it, as after I got my sixth badge, the game failed to retain my save, bringing my journey to an early end. But then Yellow on 3DS [[Virtual Console]] finally gave me a reliable chance to beat the game, so I did. 
I made Pikachu an HM slave and Submission user on any weak Normal-type I came across and used a Vulpix as my new starter. Back in Gen I, before the {{stat|Special}} split, some Pokemon were a lot more powerful than after the split. If I was gonna run Gen I, I wanted in on that, so I decided to grab Ninetales and Tentacruel, both of which got really screwed in the Special split (more Ninetales than Cruel). And it shows. Tentacruel is a beast, and Ninetales is totally usable (and huggable). Magneton is standard, although now packing a tank-worthy 120 Sp.Def. I chose Dodrio for two reasons. I don't get to use it as much as I'd like, but more importantly, in Gen I, Speed is key, and it has it (also, the Gen I {{m|Tri Attack}} animation is AWESOME!). Nidoking is just plain great.

This game was lost for the longest time, but I found it February 15, 2009. But, sitting under the dresser for a few years hasn't done it any favors. So I restarted it! You wouldn't think restarting and playing an ancient Pokémon game would be fun, but it seems to have really shown me how good these older games were.

Aerodactyl and Horsea were traded in, and Heracross kinda-sorta has a hacked moveset.

This is actually the second team, as this game was restarted. The first time around was pretty bad, but I made sure I knew the score this time around. I planned the team ahead of time, and then left a spot open for a Crawdaunt knowing 4 HMs. They all do their jobs quite well, even Walrein, the weakest.

===LeafGreen===
Like above, there was a second team. This was my first Pokémon game since Silver, three years prior. I knew nothing about natures and EVs, so, it was a mess. Second time around, I had {{tt|Blastoise|BRUCEFORCE}}, a hacked {{tt|Scyther|FRED}} with Fly, {{tt|Magneton|MAGNEDETH}}, {{tt|Arcanine|SPARTICUS}}, {{tt|Nidoking|KILLDOZER}}, and a {{tt|Kingler|SWISSKNIFE}} with any HM I didn't want on the main team. Super hacked Scyther bothered me a little, and I wasn't really satisfied with Blastoise or Arcanine either, so I restarted it again!

This is the new team. Would you believe its 100% legit? Well it is! I guess it evens out the hacked Emerald team... This team is great. I could have used Hitmonlee instead of Primeape, but i just used Hitmonlee in SS, so I decided to give Primeape a go. Also, as a sort of boycott, I had never used a Charizard before (granted, its special stat in Gen I was abysmal) so I gave it a go here.

===Emerald===
A friend of mine has been shipped off to Iraq. Godspeed to him. He gave me his Emerald. This team was used to beat his game and harvest legendaries: {{tt|Sceptile|ACE}}, {{tt|Xatu|TOTEM TOM}}, {{tt|Magneton|MAGNEDETH}}, {{tt|Golduck|PHIL}}, {{tt|Dugtrio|PAIN TRAIN}}, {{tt|Machamp|MR. X}}.

Hoenn sucks in terms of Pokemon choice. I milked it for all it was worth with my Sapphire team, but when I was given an Emerald, I had to quick think of a team to fill it in. Very few of the Gen III Pokemon flow well enough with Swampert to make a good team of them. Granted, that's a giant opinion, but either way, I cheated a little. First, Swampert can't effectively use Water-type attacks, and secondly, there's too damn many Water-type HMs in Gen III, so Ludicolo is used to handle that stuff and Swampert is used as the Grounder. Ninjask is hacked with Fly and Signal Beam (why didn't they give it to it in the first place?), Breloom is used as Fighting only, and Typhlosion was imported because Fire-types don't exist in Hoenn (aside from Blaziken whom i already used).

===Diamond===
This is my team for used in the story. Beating gyms, E4, etc. I have rarely used it in battles against anyone. Magnemite and Porygon had to be traded over because they aren't in the Sinnoh Dex. I don't really like any of the Sinnoh starters (Torterra is cool, but, I'd never use him) but I chose Infernape simply because it was useful and fit into the team. However, thanks to that annoying monkey sound, I almost replaced him. Very annoying. Magnezone and Garchomp are used in other teams and Porygon-Z does see occasional online use.

====Platinum====
I had run Platinum shortly after it came out but made a mess of it. Used mostly old Pokémon and used Empoleon as an HM slave. Shame on me. So I restarted it and punished myself with not being allowed to heal in a Pokémon Center. Was only allowed to heal through items. How did that challenge go? Pretty well actually. Added an additional strategy to battles in needing to conserve HP and PP.
As for Platinum, if you don't know this already, it's a million times better than Diamond and Pearl, so if you've not played a Sinnoh game, Platinum is the one to get, hands down. As a whole, DPPt are upper middle in terms of Pokémon game quality to me. Definitely worth playing.

But what Pokémon did I take on my adventure?? Had to use proper, regional Pokémon, but that's ok, there's plenty of good options.
* Empoleon is great if a bit slow. But it takes hits and deals it back.
* Mothim was surprisingly usable. Too bad its movepool is terrible. Still, in the right situation, it works.
* Rotom is always a delight. I used regular Rotom for the extra Speed and I don't really like any of the formes that much.
* Rapidash was an odd choice, but to those that have played Diamond and Pearl, you know why. It's fast and strong. Works nicely.
* Garchomp wrecks. The end.
* Toxicroak is cool, but again, horrible movepool. Thankful for TMs.

====SoulSilver====
For the record, HGSS are awesome. Yea, there's some stuff here and there that could be {{tt|better|TM availability}}, or maybe some stuff that was removed from the originals that shouldn't have been {{tt|removed|room decorations}}, but it's still awesome. Started with Totodile, just like my old Silver, and with the Phys/Spec split, it's even more awesome than ever. I wanted to try some "{{tt|new|to me}}" guys, so I finally decided to try a Crobat, and surprisingly, training a horrible little Zubat was actually pretty fun, and Crobat is proving very useful. Swinub was quite a challenge, but all in all, Mamoswine is strong enough to make you forget. Hitmonlee is also proving very useful. Meanwhile, Houndoom in Johto? Feels good. Magneton can't evolve? Not a problem.

====Titanium Gym====
This is my old IPGL gym team. When I left the league, my overall tally for this team is an awesome 65 wins, and only 6 losses. I always lead with a Steel-type, but it changed depending on who I was facing. Now that I'm not battling anymore, I can openly say that both Lucario and Scizor run {{m|Swords Dance}} sets (although, I had alternate sets in my early matches) and when they were on the field, they nearly guaranteed me at least one, probably 2 kills each. Magnezone was a revenge killer, Steel trapper, and generally used for killing anything that was already damaged. It may sound weird, but basically, everyone knew I had Zone, but no one knew when they would see it. And as they pondered this, that's when it would surprise them. Metagross was just brute force. No real strategy on it except an unconventional moveset. Worked awesome. Skarmory and Empoleon rarely proved useful and were rarely used as a result. Our rules allowed 2 non-Steel-types allowed, so I chose Gliscor and Gyarados because they resisted a lot of the types that are strong against Steel. I didn't have much time to give them proper movesets, but they proved confounding enough that even with fairly straightforward attacking sets, they did exactly what I needed them to and cause the opponent to switch.

===Gen V===

===White===
Gen V is here! WHAT?! NO MAGNEMITE?! It's true. For the first time since Gen I, I didn't use a Magnemite (before Megamite, I had a Raichu). Galvantula is pretty damn cool though, and with {{a|Compoundeyes}} it throws a mean {{m|Thunder}}. Granted, its a hell of a lot less powerful than Zone, and noticeably more frail. In this gen, I don't really like any of the starters. Game Freak really screwed this all up making Emboar another Fire/Fighting because really, Samurott should absolutely be Water/Fighting. Not to mention Samurott's really stupid stat spread, but regardless, it did a pretty good job. Sigilyph is just plain cool. It looks, sounds, and acts ridiculous, and with {{a|Magic Guard}}, it just doesn't care what you think. Good stat spread and great movepool. Chandelure and Mienshao were Pokemon I wanted pretty bad, but you only get late in the game. Thankfully, {{u|Umeko}} and {{u|Jo The Marten}} respectively traded me a bred Pokemon. Specially bred IV made them both killing machines. Then there's Excadrill. As soon as it was revealed I wanted one, and I searched FOREVER in [[Wellspring Cave]] for a good Drilbur. Can't tell you how long it took, but it payed off. By the way, in the interest of learning names, I didn't nickname anything. The nicknames listed are simply names they I called them myself.

===White 2===
With the unexpected changes brought by B2W2, I finally had myself a Magnemite in Unova! But what about the rest? I insisted on staying with Gen V Pokemon for the rest of the team. Emboar proved to be powerful, but lacking a friendly movepool. Rather aggravating having to gain BP to earn Brick Break just to give it something to use. Archeops had to be traded in (thanks Jo the Marten), but it is a beast. Give it {{m|Acrobatics}} and it will tear teams apart. Its defenses are terrible, but it was usually fast enough to OHKO anyway. The moveset changes were kind to Magnemite, giving it Flash Canon, but the TM changes meant Shock Wave was no longer available. Volt Switch is annoying to use in single player. Simipour had to be traded in (thanks again to Jo) because there's no way I'm going to wait for the tiny chance for one to pop-up. It proved to be just fast enough and just strong enough to provide the power I needed. Krookodile is awesome. Defenses were terrible, but it didn't care, it would rock the earth or just eat its opponents. The last spot changed hands a few times, but I eventually settled on Leavanny. I used it for a while, but I didn't want to saddle anyone with Cut and Dive. Basculin initially rounded out as an HM slave and never saw battle, but once I found out that Dive wasn't necessary at all, I brought Leavanny back. It is quite handy for dealing with Water/Ground Pokémon and is classy as hell (while it tears opponents in half).

===Black 2 Nuzlocke===
After much prodding, I finally got around to doing a [[Nuzlocke challenge]]. It went very well. Too well in-fact... I only lost ONE Pokémon (which you can read about in the next section).

Rules used:
* Can only catch the first encounter of every route
* If a Pokémon faints, it is dead and placed in the PC
* Dupes clause (can't catch anything that has already been caught, including evolution family members)
* Shiny clause (any encountered shiny may be caught and used, regardless of area catch)
* No legendaries
* Challenge Mode

The run got off to a rocky start. My first catch was Purrloin, which died in the gym battle against [[Cheren]]. After that loss, which was carelessness on my part, I decided to focus more. I must have done a good job because aside from a close call here and there, it was business as usual. The main issues were gym leaders. On challenge mode they have more Pokémon and better tactics. Easily, the biggest challenge was at the very end. The Elite Four each put up their own challenge, but [[Iris]] gave me a heart attack with her {{p|Haxorus}} with a damn [[Focus Sash]]. It used {{m|Dragon Dance}} which could have been a big problem. Thankfully, Iris (for whatever reason) opted not to heal, so one {{m|Aqua Jet}} and it was all over.

Samurott was solid, but I still don't think it's a very good Pokémon. Crobat was SHINY. Yes, I encountered a shiny Zubat in [[Castelia Sewers]]. I used a Zubat in SoulSilver and it was just as solid here. Magnezone was awesome (see below). Magmar was a nice addition that I didn't expect to go all the way, but it did, quite nicely. Sandslash proved to be just powerful enough, and just tanky enough to become a real clutch here and there. Scrafty was a bit of a pain. Very slow and very weak, but mine had Moxie which helped. Not sure I'd use one again though.
:A quick side note: There's a pattern among Nuzlockers of Magnemite failing to make it to the end. I chose to run B2W2 so I could have a good chance at getting an early Magnemite. I did, and it proceeded to essentially be an {{wp|MVP}}. Tanking hits, dishing damage, and {{m|Thunder Wave}} support. If you lose a Magnemite during a run, then you are doing something wrong.

====Notable members====
* Poor Purrloin got smashed by a +2 {{m|Tackle}} from Cheren's Lillipup. I got overzealous and figured Cheren wouldn't be an issue, but after a few {{m|Work Up}}s, Lillipup brought me back to reality.
* Herdier was an early catch that proved very reliable. STAB Normal moves early in the game and solid stats had me thinking I may keep her, but when I got Scrafty, I decided that STAB Fighting-type moves would prove more useful and Herdier was put on the bench.
* As a Sewaddle and Swadloon, Leavanny was an early game tank, surprising as it may sound. But, not only had I already used one in my main W2 run, but it didn't really fit into the team, and I swapped it out for Sandslash.

===Gen VI===
{| style="background: #{{steel color light}};" class="expandable"
|
|-
|

===Y===
Well, after the arguable disappointment that was Gen V, Gen VI came to life ''in 3D!!'' However, what they gave us in fancy graphics and inappropriate Pokémon touching, they forgot to actually give us some Pokémon to play with. Building an all Gen VI team proved nearly impossible with my requirement to have a Ground-type, and there only be TWO....'''''TWO''''' released, one of which was legendary, but I found a way around it. More on that in a moment. Unlike Gen V where all the starters sucked, Gen VI has three great starters (even Grass!). After much hemming and hawing, I chose Froakie. I later regretted it after deciding a liked Delphox more, but Greninja proved to be a worthy team member. Fast and just powerful enough. Next was Hawlucha who was pretty fun, albeit a little underpowered. Heliolisk is a bit of a mess, but it works. Decent stats and Dry Skin is very handy for an Electric-type, but why is it part Normal? Why not part Ground or Rock? Anyway, Pyroar is awesome, if limited in its purpose due to a shallow movepool. Diggersby is one of the ugliest and most useless Pokémon ever created, BUT I nabbed one with Huge Power which makes it a complete beast. Then there's Aegislash whom I think is kinda cool, but gimmicky and a real pain to use. Overall, this team is pretty meh (three Normal-types!) but I had a pretty limited list to work with. Really Game Freak? Only 69 new Pokémon? C'mon... Those lame Mega Evolutions don't count...

===Alpha Sapphire===
Instead of my usual mini-review of the game, I went full on and wrote an actual article on Bulbanews which you can read [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Omega_Ruby_and_Alpha_Sapphire:_A_retrospective_review right here]. I got a ton of positive feedback from people. Even those that disagreed with me. I'm really happy with how the review turned out, but a big thing I forgot to mention is the lack of character customization. Masuda says it's because Brendan and May have set designs, but I don't see how at least offering skin, hair, or clothing color changes would have been out of the question. But anyway, the review can be heavily summed up as, the game was disappointing for me. It's a near 1:1 remake with very little changed.

As for my team, I carefully chose this team around a lack of Flying-type, because Hoenn lacks any good ones. It also contained three Pokémon I had never used before. I was curious how it would turn out. Well, it turned out...ok. Not great, but not bad. Blaziken lead the team as awesome as always. I was planning to use a Flygon, so {{u|Jo_The_Marten}} hooked me up with a really well-bred Trapinch. A really great team member. In my recent attempts to use other Electric-types, Manectric was put on the team. It turned out ok and did its job, but Speed aside, couldn't compete with the power and durability of Magnezone. Sharpedo was a gift from {{u|SharKing}} and was the biggest problem member of the team. It was beastly in attack power, but the super low defenses were an issue at times. However, the biggest issue was simply being a Physical Water-type. Rock and Ground-types have high Defenses, and a lot of Fire-types have Flame Body. Sharpedo can be fun to use, and is awesome to Surf on in ORAS, but by no real fault of its own, proved to be a bit of a hassle. I'm really going to lessen my use of Physical Water-types in the future. Next was Gardevoir. After finally evolving from Kirlia, Gardevoir was just a monster, killing most things in one hit. Not much else to say. Gardevoir rocked. Also, Roserade was a beast. I rarely find places for Grass-types on my teams, but I wanted a Poison-type to handle the new Fairy-types in the game, and Roserade was awesome. Fast, powerful, and even able to take some Special Attacks.

===Gen VII===

===Moon===
The hype train for Gen VII was huge. The reveal alone proved that X and Y were merely test beds for a Pokémon game in 3DS. So with Gen VI out of the way, they could really flex their muscles, and they went all in on making a new and unique experience. Gone were gyms, badges, HMs, and instead we got Totem Pokémon and a rich story that takes center stage featuring an all new kind of Pokémon. [[Ultra Beast]]s! So how did it go over? Was it the amazing new direction that the fans were dying for? Did my cold, dark heart get turned on by the rich landscapes and deep character progression? 
Not really. 
Most fans were mixed. Some praising the changes, other loathing them. I'm right in the middle. I certainly didn't hate the games, but I personally found all the changes pretty redundant. Totem battles are a little more challenging than gym battles, but the lack of gym and trainers really took the feel of grandeur away from the experience for me. Also, the story, while a lot deeper than previous games, was interesting, but I personally feel like Ultra Beasts are just legendaries by a different name. I did like a lot of the new characters, so that's a plus. 
On the downside, a LOT less Pokémon. Take out Ultra Beasts and legendaries, and we are left with '''62''' Pokémon. Seriously?? Take away the starters and version exclusives and you get '''''51''''' new, available Pokémon. To supplement this, we got Alolan [[Regional form|regional variant]]s. They're ok, but they're too few to make a big difference. Overall, I was slightly disappointed with Sun and Moon, but it was definitely worth them trying new things, so I'm not too mad about it.

But making a team out of only 51 Pokémon proved a little difficult, but I managed to do it.
* Popplio is not a design I liked too much, but the evolution line makes up for it in sheer battling ability. Primarina is a fantastic Pokémon. Takes hits and dishes huge damage in return.
* Toucannon is really straightforward. Normal/Flying with usable Speed and massive Attack. Compliment that with a fantastic ability ({{a|Skill Link}}) and you get a solid, reliable Pokémon. Also, I love how continuously angry it is.
* I actually didn't plan to use Magnemite, but I caught a Modest one with amazing IVs in [[Hau'oli City]] and had to use it. Decided to keep it as a Magneton to take advantage of the higher Speed. Magneton worked great as always.
* Took a while to find a good, female Salandit, but worth it. Salazzle is a bit weak in defenses, but has the power, versatility, and speed to make up for it.
* Wasn't sure about Mudsdale, given it's atrocious Speed, but with it's {{a|Stamina}} Ability continuously bolstering it's awesome Defense, and huge Attack, Mudsdale could take pretty much any hit, shrug it off, and slam right back. Solid Pokémon.
* Bewear is an odd Pokémon. Massive size, massive power, tiny Cry. Also, it's pink. It does what it does, and what it does is deal massive damage. It's almost too straightforward for me to truly love it, but I was glad it was on my side.

====Ultra Sun====
In the previous section, I basically described Sun and Moon as an experiment in trying new things. When they announced UltraSun and UltraMoon, I was intrigued. Black 2 and White 2 proved that they could make a fantastic sequel to a Pokémon game and I was really hoping they would do it again. Sun and Moon were all about new, and fresh ideas. It would have been awesome if they could make sequels that built on the introduced material. 
They didn't. 
USUM are, in my opinion, hugely disappointing and borderline pointless. They are basically Sun and Moon with some tweaks to the story and minor quality of life improvements. It took me quite a while to beat these games because I simply didn't feel like it. They're so similar to Sun and Moon that I tell people, if you haven't played SM, play USUM instead. If you have played SM, then don't bother with USUM as it's basically the same game. They feel like remakes of a game released in the same generation, rather than whole new games. Disappointing and pointless games.

As mentioned in my Moon rundown, the number of regional Pokémon was very limited, so I had to get creative. The results were decidedly mixed.
* Decidueye was my first Grass starter since Bulbasaur. Yea, I rarely pick Grass starters and...I now know why. Decidueye is very good, but wasn't nearly as versatile as Primarina was in my previous run. But I love it's design.
* I bred for a Modest Oricorio that had Hidden Power Fire because Oricorio, while good, has no non-Flying STAB moves available to it. Did the effort pay off? Eh... It's reasonably fast and strong but stupidly limited. Why such a bad movepool, Game Freak??
* I was very hesitant to use a Ribombee. It seemed too cutesy to be usable, but I was very wrong. Can't take a hit, but it's fast, powerful, and versatile. Can't get hit if you OHKO the opponent first!
* What?? Lunatone?? Hell yea. It's typing fit my team perfectly and I briefly used one in Sapphire years ago. With it's Gen VII stat boost, I traded one in and it worked so well!! A true underdog and unexpected delight. Great Pokémon.
* Alolan Dugtrio get the award for biggest disappointment. Yea, it's fast and strong, but it can't take a hit ''at all'' and has surprisingly limited moves. Also, never was a fan of the long hair. {{a|Tangling Hair}} was pretty useful, though.
* Kommo-o was brought in from my Moon game. Takes forever to train it, but is extremely rewarding. It takes so long to train but didn't frustrate me. I grew really attached to it and am glad I gave it a shot.

===PLA===
Legends: Arceus showed us what a proper open world Pokémon game could be. It looks pretty bad, and it's fairly straightforward, but the gameplay is fun, and that's what counts. It isn't perfect, but I enjoyed these games more than any Pokémon since Gen 5. I can only hope we get more games like this with some expansion in how the progression, the setting, and features.

My team in this game had a lot of swapping as I progressed, but these are the ones I ended up using [https://twitter.com/MAGNEDETH/status/1528494058292727808 to the end].

===BDSP===
These are the laziest, lifeless, most half-assed games that Pokémon has gotten and are an insult to the originals, the franchise, and players. I intentionally refrained from evolving some of my Pokémon, or giving them their best moves, until after beating the E4 just so I could have any semblance of a challenge, and even then, only [[Cynthia]] posed any real threat. I hope and pray that the Pokémon franchise never has to experience the embarassment of a game even remotely as bad as these. I will never give this game a fancy table.

It isn't my Pokémon's fault. They did their job. Albeit, they didn't have to work very hard through the cakewalk that is BDSP's version of Sinnoh.

===Violet===
If Game Freak can't be bothered to make a properly functioning game with consistent framerate and some semblance of direction, then I can't be bothered to make a fancy table for my team. Some of the characters and writing are good, though. At least we got a new Magnemite family member.

The team did great, but thanks to the total lack of a proper progression system, there wasn't a lot of difficulty, compounded by [[Geeta]] being the easiest Champion in series history. I admit, [[Nemona]] put of a decent fight at the end, though. Special mention to Lokix for unexpectedly being a great little house cleaner. Would mop up anything the rest of the team didn't want to.

==Favorite Pokémon==
All Pokémon listed below are in order of Pokédex, not the order I like them.

===Gen I===
I like a lot of Gen I Pokémon, but I fully admit that it's based heavily on nostalgia. I grew up with these Pokémon, so there's very few I actively dislike. Some will argue that Gen I had some boring designs, but I argue that it was their first outing. It was a simpler time. Besides, there's nothing wrong with a simple design. Moreover, there are plenty of completely original designs as well. I swear some people just look for reasons to hate on Gen I.

|-
| class="l" | {{p|Venusaur}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 003.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:003Venusaur.png|100px]]
| class="l" | No real story here, it was my Blue starter, liked it since. I think it can best be described as "quiet attitude." Haven't used it much since Gen I, but it doesn't matter. You never forget your first. Statistically has the best stats in Gen I, but {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}} are fairly useless types in the grand scheme. However, the Physical/Special split gives it a lot of new versatility and the new Fairy-type being weak to Poison gives it a new target to destroy. Venusaur has been a silent hero for years, but with these changes, it's all looking up for ol' Venusaur....
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Nidoking}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 034.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:034Nidoking.png|100px]]
| class="l" | He's just AWESOME. You can get the king early in any game he's in and could use him to the very end. Ridiculously versatile with solid stats and a movepool that stretches around the world....twice. Got a nice bump in power in Gen VI, too! But let's not forget, just look at him, look! One of the most straightforward and badass designs in Pokémon. ANGER. SPIKES. FANGS. CLAWS. NIDOKING HAS IT ALL. Whether it be quick brutality of {{m|Earthquake}} or the slow HP sap of Poison, Nidoking rocks. Nidoking is my next favorite Pokémon behind the Magnemite family.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Primeape}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 057.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:057Primeape.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I am not generally a fan of monkey Pokémon because I'm not really a fan of monkeys in general. But Primeape doesn't care. Primeape is too angry to care what I think, and I respect that. Hits fast and hard with utter simplicity. There's not much to say about Primeape because it lays all its cards down at all times. It goes into battle with no care for its own self. It just wants to win.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Magnemite}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 081.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:081Magnemite.png|100px]]
| class="l" | What is Magnemite? No one knows. Some people just say "it's a Magnet" but that would ignore the sphere, eye, and screws. Magnemite can not be properly described. That is one of the reasons I love it. I have been a fan of Magnemite since I first saw it. This ridiculous looking Pokémon with it's equally ridiculous cry. I am genuinely annoyed that with every update to in-game cries, Magnemite's gets worse. But that's ok. It isn't jsust the look or the sound, it's also the sheer power this little guy has. It's super durable and can deal massive damage. All this combines is why I love Magnemite. It takes hits, fires back twice as hard, and all the while simply not giving a damn. Magnemite is what it is and nothing else. Except no substitutes, Magnemite will always be my favorite.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Magneton}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 082.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:082Magneton.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Ok, even I admit, Magneton is not the most complex Pokémon. It really is just three Magnemite stuck together. But I'm ok with that because it means we get three times the Magnemite! Magneton demonstrates the fundamentals of magnetism in the most basic way possible. While it comes off as a slightly lazy design, it does lead to some fantastic animations in whatever game it happens to be in, and that's where Magneton shines. Watching the three Magnemite spin around and organize powerful attacks in whatever game you're playing is always a treat. If you don't like Magnemite, you won't like Magneton. But I do, so I do. Respect the magnet trio because if you don't, just remember, 120 Special Attack.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Dodrio}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 085.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:085Dodrio.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I overlooked Dodrio for a long time, but when I finally noticed, I realized it is really good. Fast, hits hard, and it has three heads! Its almost like a bird version of The Three Stooges if you think about it. The combination of easy to use and ridiculous design is a winning combination every time. I wish I had more to say about a three-headed bird that can't fly, but I don't. Dodrio is just a damn good Pokémon.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Kingler}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 099.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:099Kingler.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Giant Crab. Giant claws. ''And'' it walks sideways! Weeee!! THANK YOU GEN IV SPLIT!! As soon as I heard of the Physical/Special split, Kingler was #1 on my mind. Always a cool design, but when it was able to start using Physical STAB attacks, I knew it would be great fun to use. Power aside, this giant, cookie loving crab is often overlooked. But that just means less people see it coming when it smashes their faces in.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Hitmonlee}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 106.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:106Hitmonlee.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another Pokémon I overlooked for a long time, but better late than never I guess. The design of it is baffling, but that doesn't matter when it can kick you from across the room. This is another Pokémon that doesn't need crazy gimmicks to work which is why I like it. Huge Attack with powerful attacks. Being such a rarity for years, it holds a special place in my mind. It's just plain fun to use.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Pinsir}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 127.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:127Pinsir.png|100px]]
| class="l" | IT'S A WALKING GUILLOTINE!! If it were real, I bet it would murder people for fun. You do not mess with Pinsir. Thanks to Gen IV, it explodes out of the gate thanks to {{m|X-Scissor}}, and can commence a serious beat down. I've never used a Pinsir on any of my teams, but the design of it is so awesome that I don't have to.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Porygon}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 137.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:137Porygon.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Similar to Magnemite, the sound it makes was the real attention grabber. Then the appearance. Those sharp edges, pointy tail, and duck face. Finally, the sheer hilarity of it all. Sadly, it got completely ruined by Pikachu in [[EP038]], so Game Freak will never give it any sort of attention. Yea, it got evolutions, but Porygon itself is usually left behind. If you don't like it for it's silliness, then at least feel bad for it.

Similar to Gen I, I like a lot of Gen II Pokémon based on nostalgia, but you can tell that some of the Pokémon inclusions were starting to walk the line between originality and gimmicky. You can also see some of the designs get a little more complex. But still, some great Pokémon, albeit, not a very powerful generation...

| class="l" | {{p|Typhlosion}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 157.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:157Typhlosion.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another awesome Pokemon given to you for free, and it doesn't have that nasty {{type|Flying}} to bother with extra weakness. Thanks to Typhlosion only being seriously available in G/S/C, I've found it to be a "want what you can't have" and that makes me like it more. Didn't wear out its welcome. Big and mean when it needs to, but warm and fuzzy otherwise. Typhlosion is just a solid design and friend to everyone (except to enemies WHO MUST BURN).
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Feraligatr}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 160.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:160Feraligatr.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Although hindered by being a physical Water-type, Feraligatr doesn't care. Whether it's crushing opponents in it's jaws, or dancing the night away, Feraligatr does it all. My first Gen II starter, so I am slightly bias, but even through the years, my adoration for this big gator is still strong. Besides, Feraligatr and I both share an affinity to misspelled names.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Flaaffy}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 180.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:180Flaaffy.png|100px]]
| class="l" |SHEEP!!! It's a sheep, ''AND'' a Pokémon!! Flaaffy and Mareep, the look, the sound, just hilarious. On a strict novelty basis, oh yes. Flaaffy is still a sheep, and it still sounds hilarious. But, when it evolves, [[User:MAGNEDETH/hate#Gen II|it's all over]]. I have been a fan of Mareep and Flaaffy ever since I laid eyes on them. They don't need to be good in battle to win my heart.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Unown}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 201.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:201Unown.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I don't know why but I was always obsessed with these things. They are so weird and funny. If only they were useful. I always wonder if they could form together and make a super Unown or something. Regardless, I always enjoy when they pop up.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Pineco}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 204.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:204Pineco.png|100px]]
| class="l" | It's a pine cone, AND a Pokémon!! WHAT A HILARIOUS CONCEPT!! Seriously, Pineco is awesome. Between this, the sheep, Unown, and many others, Gen II had some amazing designs for Pokémon. I'm being half-sarcastic with that, but I refuse to elaborate. Just accept that Pineco is cool and move on.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Steelix}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 208.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:208Steelix.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Being the intro for {{t|Steel}}, Nintendo needed a good first show, and here it is. A giant snake made of Steel. Looks awesome, sounds awesome, and is way better than {{p|Onix}}. It will wall the hell out of physical attacks, but just keep those {{m|Water Gun}}s away from it.... Still, Steelix looks and sounds good.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Scizor}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 212.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:212Scizor.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another crazy new Steel-type, and they pulled it off. Excellent stats except {{stat|Speed}}, but if it did have more Speed, it would be unstoppable. Even so, when I did a lot of competitive battling, Scizor was a huge asset to the team. Speed is useless when you can abuse increased priority and {{a|Technician}}. Scizor had some growing pains by way of crap moves in Gen II, but these days, it's a proper beast.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Heracross}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 214.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:214Heracross.png|100px]]
| class="l" | This big, bad, bug with a giant horn is an odd one. You'd be forgiven to think it's just a gimmick, but Heracross can deliver quite a beatdown. It took a couple generations before they gave it any properly useful moves outside of {{m|Megahorn}} (and {{m|Reversal}} I guess) but regardless, it's a fun design. I helps that hercules beetles are just plain cool.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Houndoom}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 229.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:229Houndoom.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another Gen II type intro. This time, the {{t|Dark}} intro. '''Hellgar''' is one of those Pokémon that I don't understand anyone not liking. Aside from being a good boy at heart, It can rip threw opponents with ease thanks to solid moves and stats. Great design, stats, and moves. This evil pup is just fantastic.

===Gen III===
Here we have the first Generation that I had no nostalgia goggles on. While I like far fewer in general, I still like a solid amount overall. You can clearly see the increase in design complexity overall, but some of that is what helped define Hoenn's overall motif.

|-
| class="l" | {{p|Blaziken}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 257.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:257Blaziken.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Unique type combo (at the time) and great stats. It's also the most useful {{type|Fire}} in [[Hoenn]] (that may be a matter of opinion). Flaming kick to the face. '''''BAM!!''''' {{p|Infernape}} tried to dethrone, but failed (in my opinion anyway). Blaziken is just plain cool. The fact it's a beast in battle just adds to the spectacle.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Lotad}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 270.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:270Lotad.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Lotad gets the coveted Magnemite Award for a Pokémon that offers instant gratification to any who lay their eyes upon it for the first time. Similar to Magnemite, the moment I saw Lotad, I loved it. It's a clever design done as straight as possible. The name alone makes me smile as well. Lotad wins on all fronts.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Gardevoir}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 282.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:282Gardevoir.png|100px]]
| class="l" | There's a respectable elegance to how Gardevoir, if it were real, would likely battle with a smooth flow, while also dishing out massive damage. Some may like Gardevoir for rather unsavory reasons, but I always liked it for it's simple battling prowess and design. It's a surprisingly straightforward design if you think about it.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Breloom}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 286.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:286Breloom.png|100px]]
| class="l" | The fact it evolves from a pod-like blob of grass is great. Go from this horrid little nothing to...whatever Breloom is supposed to be, but with immense {{stat|Attack}} and you win! When I first played, Sapphire, I already knew what it was, but I wish I could have had this evolution surprise unspoiled. Breloom has a silly design and a ton of power to let people know it doesn't care what you think.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Trapinch}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 328.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:328Trapinch.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Similar to Lotad, the moment I saw Trapinch, I loved it. This tiny ant with a giant head. You'd feel sorry for it until you realize it has a massive Attack stat. It's about as slow as molasses in the winter, but don't run from little Trapinch. Take it as your own and you shall be rewarded...
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Flygon}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 330.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:330Flygon.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A big, friendly killer. There's a lot to like about Flygon. Fast, strong, some respectable versatility, and when the battle is won, you can fly to your next destination on it. It's the sort of excellent design that can be either cute or fearsome. This is another Pokémon that I can't see people disliking.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Lunatone}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 337.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:337Lunatone.png|100px]]
| class="l" | What we have here is a crescent moon with a giant eye and pointy mouth in the middle. I love Lunatone. Although part of a duo with {{p|Solrock}}, I briefly used one in a Sapphire run to tank hits, and enjoyed its company. Thanks to a nice boost in HP as of Gen VII, it's even better at doing that. All the while, it has a great Special Attack. More people need to give Lunatone a chance. Well, after they remember it exists, I guess.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Metagross}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 376.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:376Metagross.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Huge Pokémon with huge popularity. I can't blame the masses for liking Metagross. It's a big beast with a super high IQ and ability to fly. It takes hits, it deals hits, and can do it all day. Just an awesome design overall and tons of fun to use.

===Gen IV===
A weird generation that gave us a mix of all new and refreshed classics. There's not as many here that I like in terms of the completely original additions, but the new evolutions gave some much needed help to classics while also complimenting a fair number of the new Pokémon. Designs of this generation I'd say are arguable the best with a nice mix of complex and clean designs all around.

! Pokémon
! Original sprite

! width="100%" | Why?
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Empoleon}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 395.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:395Empoleon.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Although I'd still greatly prefer Empoleon as a part Ice instead of Steel, it doesn't make a huge difference. Solid bulk and power make Empoleon a surprising powerhouse. I say surprising because for some reason, people don't seem to realize that Empoleon packs quite a punch. All the better to surprise opponents with...
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Staraptor}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 398 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:398Staraptor.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A regional bird done very right. We haven't seen a Normal/Flying bird this deadly since Dodrio, and not even Dodrio can hold up to Staraptor's 120 Attack power and great coverage. I think with some tweaks, Staraptor could have been part Fighting, but it wasn't meant to be. Still, it could easily tear through unprepared opponents while maintaining fantastic hair.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Garchomp}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 445 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:445Garchomp.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Garchomp was an instant favorite of mine as soon as I knew it existed. A literal shark on land, it has the power to back up the looks. I don't really have much to say about it. I feel like it's so obvious how awesome Garchomp is.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Lucario}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 448.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:448Lucario.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I wasn't as sold on Lucario as easily as everyone else was. It had to prove to me that it was as good as everyone said. So it did. When I used one online, it may have been my MVP. My Lucario ripped through not just Pokémon, but sometimes whole teams with ease. Lucario earned my respect, and I didn't have to watch a movie to understand the appeal.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Weavile}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 461 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:461Weavile.png|100px]]
| class="l" | It was awesome when they did the Physical/Special split and made Sneasel useful, but then they cranked it up to 11 and gave us Weavile. Quite a glass canon with it's awesome speed and power with paper defenses, but who cares? It's arguably one of the coolest Pokémon around.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Magnezone}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 462.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:462Magnezone.png|100px]]
| class="l" | When Gen IV was announced and people told me Magneton got an evolution, I was very hesitant. Even after I saw Magnezone for the first time, I was a little put off. Is this some kind of UFO or something? That doesn't make sense. I was frequently asked what I thought about it, and for a while, I wasn't sure. But a few things happened. First, I saw it's stats and used one. The sheer power Magnezone has combined with it's even greater bulk makes for an awesome combo. (Still not sure why they nerfed the Speed though.) But second, and most importantly, I simple grew to appreciate the design. It's basically a hugely overgrown Magnemite. Talk about more to love. Similar to Magneton, I can see why some would be put off, but I have grown to really like Magnezone and welcome it to the family.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Togekiss}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 468.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:468Togekiss.png|100px]]
| class="l" | One of the first Gen IV Pokémon I trained for online battles was a Togekiss. I liked it's well distributed stats and huge movepool. These attributes were well founded as Togekiss became a really reliable team member for me. Appearance wise, I think it's a bit bloated, but it doesn't bother me too much. And when it's shooting {{m|Aura Sphere}}'s through opponents, or getting {{a|Serene Grace}} flinch hax, it doesn't matter what it looks like.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Yanmega}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 469.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:469Yanmega.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Take innocent little Yanma and drop radioactive ooze all over it, and you get Yanmega! I loved the design the moment I saw it, and I still think it looks great. Amazing ability and fantastic stats mean it's also super useful. Not a lot else to say here. Dragonflies are cool and Yanmega is too.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Gliscor}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 472.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:472Gliscor.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another Pokémon that got a properly angry makeover with its evolution. Doesn't get the huge Attack I would expect, but it's usable enough and has options for days with high Defense, Speed, and some great moves. Again not too much to say other than, it's great.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Mamoswine}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 473 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:473Mamoswine.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Piloswine was a real unfortunate case. Powerful, but too many weaknesses to overcome it's horrid Speed. So now we have Mamoswine. Just fast enough to outrun some baddies, and a massive attack stat to make sure that they don't get a second chance to attack. It's a bit of a doofy design, but I sort of instantly liked it when I saw it the first time.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Porygon-Z}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 474.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:474Porygon-Z.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Porygon is cooler, but Z has so much {{stat|Special Attack}}, it could spare some for the poor. But it won't. What Z lacks in charm, it makes up for in sheer insanity. It's design is literally broken, but with {{a|Adaptability}} and a massive Special Attack, it could blast holes through just about anything in its way.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Gallade}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 475.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:475Gallade.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A somewhat unexpected split evolution, but very welcome. Take the elegant dancing of Gardevoir and make it a swordsmen instead. Gallade wasn't expected, but makes perfect sense. It's a lot of fun to use and makes some cool noises, too. Would have been nice to get this in Gen III so we're not left with such an awkward evolution split, but whatever. At least we got Gallade in the first place.

===Gen V===
The first Generation since...the first to include enough new Pokémon that they didn't need outside additions. This was a huge thing and with it a lot of cool new Pokémon. Some people take issue with the originality of some revealed in this generation, and I understand that, but look past them and at the real gems of this generation.

| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 530.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:530Excadrill.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Fast, hard hitting, metal mole. That is a recipe for awesome. I searched forever when I first played White to find a good Nature Drilbur in those damn dust clouds, but I'm glad I did because Excadrill is just pure destruction. Great Speed and tons of Attack power.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Leavanny}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 542.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:542Leavanny.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Leavanny looks harmless, but when you're not looking, it can slice you in half. Well rounded stats, a slick movepool, and early availability make it an easy choice for a team member. I didn't start using one until half-way through a run, just wanting something to fill a niche, and Leavanny was exactly what I needed. An unexpectedly great Pokémon.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Krookodile}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 553.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:553Krookodile.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Two amazingly awesome Ground-types in one Generation. Krookodile lacks the drill on it's head but makes up for it with built-in sunglasses. I don;t know if any Pokémon can tough the cool factor of Krookodile. Not just a cool customer, it can also destroy opponents with ease. Huge Attack and great Speed make using it easy and fun.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Sigilyph}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 561.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:561Sigilyph.png|100px]]
| class="l" | What we have here is possibly one of the most ridiculous designs in the entire series. Of all the things to make a Pokémon on, Game Freak gave us a living embodiment of the {{wp|Nazca Lines}}. No one saw that coming and if anyone says they did, they're a liar. Great thing about Sigilyph is that while opponents are trying to determine what it is, it can easily destroy them with great Speed, Special Attack, and {{a|Magic Guard}}. To me, Sigilyph is just plain awesome.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Archeops}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 567.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:567Archeops.png|100px]]
| class="l" | While Defeatist is annoying, when it ISN'T activated, Archeops is just insane. It looks like it tripped and fell into a bunch of paint, but don't let appearances deceive you. When at full power, Archeops delivers some of the hardest hits in the entire series. Ripping through the Battle Subway is almost too easy with Archeops.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Galvantula}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 596.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:596Galvantula.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Here we have an electrified tarantula that evolves from a tick. Pokémon, man...it's great. Another crazy design but it works so well. I was instantly interested in Galvantula as soon as it was revealed. Great stats and a very useful {{a|Compoundeyes}} Ability makes Galvantula one of the few useful spiders seen in Pokémon. (Seriously, why do so many spider Pokémon suck?)
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Chandelure}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 609.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:609Chandelure.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Two sides to the coin here. On the face of things, it's an interesting concept. A ghostly chandelier. That alone is pretty cool. But a staggering 145 Special Attack makes it absolutely insane. When I saw the stats on this thing, I genuinely didn't believe it. But believe it. Chandelure is amazing. Simple and effective design with astronomical power to take out the haters.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Mienshao}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 620.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:620Mienshao.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A textbook Fighting-type with a bizarre appearance. Fast, incredibly powerful, but frail. That's all it needs to be. Making it look like a cat in long sleeves that can't sit still just means you won't be expecting the destruction.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Golurk}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 623.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:623Golurk.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Big ghostly statue that causes earthquakes. What is this thing and why can it fly? It doesn't matter because Golurk has no time for your judgemental opinions. There's a lot to like here with it's unique typing and powerful Attack stat. Add this to the pile of Pokémon that people simply shouldn't dislike.

===Gen VI===
The infamous Gen VI. A pitiful, and frankly embarrassing amount of Pokémon introduced in this generation. But to be fair, it's a case of quality over quantity because there are some awesome Pokémon in here. Just not a lot of them. There's even fewer because we never got an additional game, so it's the only generation I've only played once. If I replay it at some point, some opinions may change.

| class="c" | [[File:668Pyroar Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:668Pyroar-Female.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Simple and effective. The king of the jungle comes to France...for some reason...and makes a name for itself as a reliable, if slightly unremarkable, Pokémon. It doesn't really do anything in particular better than others, but it's stoic and reliable in it's ability to destroy, just a lion should be.

| class="c" | [[File:689Barbaracle Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:689Barbaracle.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I've never used a Barbaracle, and due to my dislike of physical Water-types, not sure I will. But while most people find it ugly and confusing, I think this thing is great. Barbaracle is all claws at all times. Any angle you approach it, you are going to have to deal with claws. It's just cool.

| class="l" | This is the insanity I want. It fights, it flies, and has a crazy outfit to top it off. Slightly lacking in sheer power, but that doesn't stop it from flying around the battlefield smashing everything it wants. A lot of fun to use. So glad that they finally delivered a Fighting/Flying, and it was something as cool as Hawlucha.

===Gen VI===
Gen VII...oh dear... I mean, there's technically more Pokémon to pick from, and having played through the region twice, I have a better understanding of Pokémon I do and don't like. But still, the disappointment is strong... Worth noting that if I really liked any Alolan variants, they'd be here.

| class="c" | [[File:724Decidueye.png|100px]]
| class="l" | This whole evolution line have great designs. Decidueye in particular looks great. Using it's hood vines to tighten focus and launch precision bow shots is so cool. In battle, I'd say it's only a bit better than mediocre, but it get's the job done.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Primarina}}
| class="c" | [[File:730Primarina Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:730Primarina.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I was hesitant to pick Popplio with its goofy design, but I'm glad I did because Primarina is so damn good that it makes the short lived goofy phase totally worth it. Tons of power, bulky defenses, and great moves. It's almost like the Gardevoir of the sea in how it battles. Strong, but elegant.

| class="l" | {{p|Toucannon}}

| class="l" | Talk about an angry bird! Ha Ha! Crappy mobile game... Yea, Toucannon is great for many reasons. It is perpetually pissed off, which I can totally relate to. It also has a ton of tricks in battle, be it {{a|Skill Link}}, {{m|Beak Blast}}, or just straight up using it's huge Attack stat. But at the end of the day, it is based on a toucan. And if you don't like toucans, then what's wrong with you?

|-

| class="c" | [[File:750Mudsdale Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:750Mudsdale.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Big horse tank hits. It's odd because real horses a sort of fickle things. They can get sick and die fairly easily, but not Mudsdale. Absolute beast of a Pokémon. It shrugs off all physical hits, and even some special ones. Then after that, it hits back like a semi-truck.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Salazzle}}
| class="c" | [[File:758Salazzle Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:758Salazzle.png|100px]]
| class="l" | When not keeping its harem in line, Salazzle is on the battlefield, sneaking through defenses of unsuspecting opponents. It then has the decision of whether to burn them alive or poison them slowly. Either way, Salazzle gets the job done.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Kommo-o}}
| class="c" | [[File:784Kommo-o Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:784Kommo-o.png|100px]]
| class="l" | It's easy for people to like pseudo-legendaries, as they're usually super strong and cool. Kommo-o is as such, but when you find one in the game, it's already near evolution time. Do the right thing and raise one from the start. It's more rewarding. Starting with {{p|Jangmo-o}} makes you appreciate the bulk and power of Kommo-o even more.

==Introduction==
I am a former {{bp|Editor-in-Chief}} of Bulbapedia. I joined on December 9, 2007, worked hard enough to get nominated for a staff position, and clawed my way up from there. That's right, you too can be EiC. All it takes is hard work, dedication, and all those other inspirational things you hear about getting ahead in life. After being EiC for a while, I decided that I wanted to focus on the user experience. My main goal as EiC was to make everything easier to understand and help my fellow user find the page they want as efficiently as possible, and when they get there, I want it to be full of all the juicy info you need organized around some fancy and colorful templates.

I've been a fan since [[Generation I]], but near the end of [[Generation II]], I lost interest. After seeing {{p|Beautifly}}, I figured Game Freak had run out of {{p|Butterfree|original ideas}}, so I skipped [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]], but the remakes of Gen I brought me back. Thanks to [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], I also invested a little time checking out [[Generation III]] Pokémon and came to the realization that some of them were actually {{p|Blaziken|pretty}} {{p|Flygon|original}}. As for [[Generation IV]], I wasn't going to jump in, but after a friend of mine did first, I decided to check it out. I had to investigate the all new {{p|Magnezone|Magnemite evolution}} and get in on that Wi-Fi action. While looking for info to educate myself on what I missed during my Poké-hiatus, I found Bulbapedia. The rest is history.

On December 9, 2012, exactly 5 years after joining Bulbapedia, I decided to step down from my position as Editor-in-Chief. You can read about my decision in {{bp|Messages_from_the_Editor#December_9|this message from the editor}}. Thanks to all the staff and fans for helping out during my tenure. I'm not leaving though, so don't worry, I'll still be around.

On March 9, 2015, I published my first proper Bulbanews article regarding a retrospective of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]] as well as [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. I put a lot of effort into it and got a lot of positive feedback from people. You can check it out [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Omega_Ruby_and_Alpha_Sapphire:_A_retrospective_review right here].

==Teams==

My teams follow a simple pattern.
# [[first partner Pokémon|Starter]]
# {{m|Fly}}er
# {{p|Magnemite}}
# {{m|Surf}}er
# {{m|Earthquake}}-er
# [[HM slave]]/Powerhouse
Certain Pokémon get placed in the same position. However, Flygon on my Sapphire team is a good example of how this isn't always the case. I don't know why or how I started doing things this way, but, it's nice to be organized. It should be noted though that this doesn't mean I'm going to send the same Pokémon out first every time if you battle me online.

Back in the day when legendaries we're the only way to go and if you didn't have a Mewtwo, you were a nobody. I had an {{p|Articuno}} (named "Icy") which was mostly for {{m|Fly}}ing, but, also good for beating Lance. Megamite is a Level 100 Magnemite, and the rest are what you'd expect.

===Red===
'''THIS GAME HAS BEEN LOST.''' I started with {{p|Squirtle}}.

===Yellow===
I had never played Yellow version before 2010. Namely because I hate Pikachu. Well, a friend was cleaning his place, and found 3(!) copies and gave them all to me. I gave away two of them, and decided I might as well beat Yellow. 
But fate would not have it, as after I got my sixth badge, the game failed to retain my save, bringing my journey to an early end. But then Yellow on 3DS [[Virtual Console]] finally gave me a reliable chance to beat the game, so I did. 
I made Pikachu an HM slave and Submission user on any weak Normal-type I came across and used a Vulpix as my new starter. Back in Gen I, before the {{stat|Special}} split, some Pokemon were a lot more powerful than after the split. If I was gonna run Gen I, I wanted in on that, so I decided to grab Ninetales and Tentacruel, both of which got really screwed in the Special split (more Ninetales than Cruel). And it shows. Tentacruel is a beast, and Ninetales is totally usable (and huggable). Magneton is standard, although now packing a tank-worthy 120 Sp.Def. I chose Dodrio for two reasons. I don't get to use it as much as I'd like, but more importantly, in Gen I, Speed is key, and it has it (also, the Gen I {{m|Tri Attack}} animation is AWESOME!). Nidoking is just plain great.

===Gold===
This game was lost for the longest time, but I found it February 15, 2009. But, sitting under the dresser for a few years hasn't done it any favors. So I restarted it! You wouldn't think restarting and playing an ancient Pokémon game would be fun, but it seems to have really shown me how good these older games were.

Aerodactyl and Horsea were traded in, and Heracross kinda-sorta has a hacked moveset.

This is actually the second team, as this game was restarted. The first time around was pretty bad, but I made sure I knew the score this time around. I planned the team ahead of time, and then left a spot open for a Crawdaunt knowing 4 HMs. They all do their jobs quite well, even Walrein, the weakest.

===LeafGreen===
Like above, there was a second team. This was my first Pokémon game since Silver, three years prior. I knew nothing about natures and EVs, so, it was a mess. Second time around, I had {{tt|Blastoise|BRUCEFORCE}}, a hacked {{tt|Scyther|FRED}} with Fly, {{tt|Magneton|MAGNEDETH}}, {{tt|Arcanine|SPARTICUS}}, {{tt|Nidoking|KILLDOZER}}, and a {{tt|Kingler|SWISSKNIFE}} with any HM I didn't want on the main team. Super hacked Scyther bothered me a little, and I wasn't really satisfied with Blastoise or Arcanine either, so I restarted it again!

This is the new team. Would you believe its 100% legit? Well it is! I guess it evens out the hacked Emerald team... This team is great. I could have used Hitmonlee instead of Primeape, but i just used Hitmonlee in SS, so I decided to give Primeape a go. Also, as a sort of boycott, I had never used a Charizard before (granted, its special stat in Gen I was abysmal) so I gave it a go here.

===Emerald===
A friend of mine has been shipped off to Iraq. Godspeed to him. He gave me his Emerald. This team was used to beat his game and harvest legendaries: {{tt|Sceptile|ACE}}, {{tt|Xatu|TOTEM TOM}}, {{tt|Magneton|MAGNEDETH}}, {{tt|Golduck|PHIL}}, {{tt|Dugtrio|PAIN TRAIN}}, {{tt|Machamp|MR. X}}.

Hoenn sucks in terms of Pokemon choice. I milked it for all it was worth with my Sapphire team, but when I was given an Emerald, I had to quick think of a team to fill it in. Very few of the Gen III Pokemon flow well enough with Swampert to make a good team of them. Granted, that's a giant opinion, but either way, I cheated a little. First, Swampert can't effectively use Water-type attacks, and secondly, there's too damn many Water-type HMs in Gen III, so Ludicolo is used to handle that stuff and Swampert is used as the Grounder. Ninjask is hacked with Fly and Signal Beam (why didn't they give it to it in the first place?), Breloom is used as Fighting only, and Typhlosion was imported because Fire-types don't exist in Hoenn (aside from Blaziken whom i already used).

===Diamond===
This is my team for used in the story. Beating gyms, E4, etc. I have rarely used it in battles against anyone. Magnemite and Porygon had to be traded over because they aren't in the Sinnoh Dex. I don't really like any of the Sinnoh starters (Torterra is cool, but, I'd never use him) but I chose Infernape simply because it was useful and fit into the team. However, thanks to that annoying monkey sound, I almost replaced him. Very annoying. Magnezone and Garchomp are used in other teams and Porygon-Z does see occasional online use.

====Platinum====
I had run Platinum shortly after it came out but made a mess of it. Used mostly old Pokémon and used Empoleon as an HM slave. Shame on me. So I restarted it and punished myself with not being allowed to heal in a Pokémon Center. Was only allowed to heal through items. How did that challenge go? Pretty well actually. Added an additional strategy to battles in needing to conserve HP and PP.
As for Platinum, if you don't know this already, it's a million times better than Diamond and Pearl, so if you've not played a Sinnoh game, Platinum is the one to get, hands down. As a whole, DPPt are upper middle in terms of Pokémon game quality to me. Definitely worth playing.

But what Pokémon did I take on my adventure?? Had to use proper, regional Pokémon, but that's ok, there's plenty of good options.
* Empoleon is great if a bit slow. But it takes hits and deals it back.
* Mothim was surprisingly usable. Too bad its movepool is terrible. Still, in the right situation, it works.
* Rotom is always a delight. I used regular Rotom for the extra Speed and I don't really like any of the formes that much.
* Rapidash was an odd choice, but to those that have played Diamond and Pearl, you know why. It's fast and strong. Works nicely.
* Garchomp wrecks. The end.
* Toxicroak is cool, but again, horrible movepool. Thankful for TMs.

====SoulSilver====
For the record, HGSS are awesome. Yea, there's some stuff here and there that could be {{tt|better|TM availability}}, or maybe some stuff that was removed from the originals that shouldn't have been {{tt|removed|room decorations}}, but it's still awesome. Started with Totodile, just like my old Silver, and with the Phys/Spec split, it's even more awesome than ever. I wanted to try some "{{tt|new|to me}}" guys, so I finally decided to try a Crobat, and surprisingly, training a horrible little Zubat was actually pretty fun, and Crobat is proving very useful. Swinub was quite a challenge, but all in all, Mamoswine is strong enough to make you forget. Hitmonlee is also proving very useful. Meanwhile, Houndoom in Johto? Feels good. Magneton can't evolve? Not a problem.

====Titanium Gym====
This is my old IPGL gym team. When I left the league, my overall tally for this team is an awesome 65 wins, and only 6 losses. I always lead with a Steel-type, but it changed depending on who I was facing. Now that I'm not battling anymore, I can openly say that both Lucario and Scizor run {{m|Swords Dance}} sets (although, I had alternate sets in my early matches) and when they were on the field, they nearly guaranteed me at least one, probably 2 kills each. Magnezone was a revenge killer, Steel trapper, and generally used for killing anything that was already damaged. It may sound weird, but basically, everyone knew I had Zone, but no one knew when they would see it. And as they pondered this, that's when it would surprise them. Metagross was just brute force. No real strategy on it except an unconventional moveset. Worked awesome. Skarmory and Empoleon rarely proved useful and were rarely used as a result. Our rules allowed 2 non-Steel-types allowed, so I chose Gliscor and Gyarados because they resisted a lot of the types that are strong against Steel. I didn't have much time to give them proper movesets, but they proved confounding enough that even with fairly straightforward attacking sets, they did exactly what I needed them to and cause the opponent to switch.

===Gen V===

===White===
Gen V is here! WHAT?! NO MAGNEMITE?! It's true. For the first time since Gen I, I didn't use a Magnemite (before Megamite, I had a Raichu). Galvantula is pretty damn cool though, and with {{a|Compoundeyes}} it throws a mean {{m|Thunder}}. Granted, its a hell of a lot less powerful than Zone, and noticeably more frail. In this gen, I don't really like any of the starters. Game Freak really screwed this all up making Emboar another Fire/Fighting because really, Samurott should absolutely be Water/Fighting. Not to mention Samurott's really stupid stat spread, but regardless, it did a pretty good job. Sigilyph is just plain cool. It looks, sounds, and acts ridiculous, and with {{a|Magic Guard}}, it just doesn't care what you think. Good stat spread and great movepool. Chandelure and Mienshao were Pokemon I wanted pretty bad, but you only get late in the game. Thankfully, {{u|Umeko}} and {{u|Jo The Marten}} respectively traded me a bred Pokemon. Specially bred IV made them both killing machines. Then there's Excadrill. As soon as it was revealed I wanted one, and I searched FOREVER in [[Wellspring Cave]] for a good Drilbur. Can't tell you how long it took, but it payed off. By the way, in the interest of learning names, I didn't nickname anything. The nicknames listed are simply names they I called them myself.

===White 2===
With the unexpected changes brought by B2W2, I finally had myself a Magnemite in Unova! But what about the rest? I insisted on staying with Gen V Pokemon for the rest of the team. Emboar proved to be powerful, but lacking a friendly movepool. Rather aggravating having to gain BP to earn Brick Break just to give it something to use. Archeops had to be traded in (thanks Jo the Marten), but it is a beast. Give it {{m|Acrobatics}} and it will tear teams apart. Its defenses are terrible, but it was usually fast enough to OHKO anyway. The moveset changes were kind to Magnemite, giving it Flash Canon, but the TM changes meant Shock Wave was no longer available. Volt Switch is annoying to use in single player. Simipour had to be traded in (thanks again to Jo) because there's no way I'm going to wait for the tiny chance for one to pop-up. It proved to be just fast enough and just strong enough to provide the power I needed. Krookodile is awesome. Defenses were terrible, but it didn't care, it would rock the earth or just eat its opponents. The last spot changed hands a few times, but I eventually settled on Leavanny. I used it for a while, but I didn't want to saddle anyone with Cut and Dive. Basculin initially rounded out as an HM slave and never saw battle, but once I found out that Dive wasn't necessary at all, I brought Leavanny back. It is quite handy for dealing with Water/Ground Pokémon and is classy as hell (while it tears opponents in half).

===Black 2 Nuzlocke===
After much prodding, I finally got around to doing a [[Nuzlocke challenge]]. It went very well. Too well in-fact... I only lost ONE Pokémon (which you can read about in the next section).

Rules used:
* Can only catch the first encounter of every route
* If a Pokémon faints, it is dead and placed in the PC
* Dupes clause (can't catch anything that has already been caught, including evolution family members)
* Shiny clause (any encountered shiny may be caught and used, regardless of area catch)
* No legendaries
* Challenge Mode

The run got off to a rocky start. My first catch was Purrloin, which died in the gym battle against [[Cheren]]. After that loss, which was carelessness on my part, I decided to focus more. I must have done a good job because aside from a close call here and there, it was business as usual. The main issues were gym leaders. On challenge mode they have more Pokémon and better tactics. Easily, the biggest challenge was at the very end. The Elite Four each put up their own challenge, but [[Iris]] gave me a heart attack with her {{p|Haxorus}} with a damn [[Focus Sash]]. It used {{m|Dragon Dance}} which could have been a big problem. Thankfully, Iris (for whatever reason) opted not to heal, so one {{m|Aqua Jet}} and it was all over.

Samurott was solid, but I still don't think it's a very good Pokémon. Crobat was SHINY. Yes, I encountered a shiny Zubat in [[Castelia Sewers]]. I used a Zubat in SoulSilver and it was just as solid here. Magnezone was awesome (see below). Magmar was a nice addition that I didn't expect to go all the way, but it did, quite nicely. Sandslash proved to be just powerful enough, and just tanky enough to become a real clutch here and there. Scrafty was a bit of a pain. Very slow and very weak, but mine had Moxie which helped. Not sure I'd use one again though.
:A quick side note: There's a pattern among Nuzlockers of Magnemite failing to make it to the end. I chose to run B2W2 so I could have a good chance at getting an early Magnemite. I did, and it proceeded to essentially be an {{wp|MVP}}. Tanking hits, dishing damage, and {{m|Thunder Wave}} support. If you lose a Magnemite during a run, then you are doing something wrong.

====Notable members====
* Poor Purrloin got smashed by a +2 {{m|Tackle}} from Cheren's Lillipup. I got overzealous and figured Cheren wouldn't be an issue, but after a few {{m|Work Up}}s, Lillipup brought me back to reality.
* Herdier was an early catch that proved very reliable. STAB Normal moves early in the game and solid stats had me thinking I may keep her, but when I got Scrafty, I decided that STAB Fighting-type moves would prove more useful and Herdier was put on the bench.
* As a Sewaddle and Swadloon, Leavanny was an early game tank, surprising as it may sound. But, not only had I already used one in my main W2 run, but it didn't really fit into the team, and I swapped it out for Sandslash.

===Gen VI===
{| style="background: #{{steel color light}};" class="expandable"

|-
|

===Y===
Well, after the arguable disappointment that was Gen V, Gen VI came to life ''in 3D!!'' However, what they gave us in fancy graphics and inappropriate Pokémon touching, they forgot to actually give us some Pokémon to play with. Building an all Gen VI team proved nearly impossible with my requirement to have a Ground-type, and there only be TWO....'''''TWO''''' released, one of which was legendary, but I found a way around it. More on that in a moment. Unlike Gen V where all the starters sucked, Gen VI has three great starters (even Grass!). After much hemming and hawing, I chose Froakie. I later regretted it after deciding a liked Delphox more, but Greninja proved to be a worthy team member. Fast and just powerful enough. Next was Hawlucha who was pretty fun, albeit a little underpowered. Heliolisk is a bit of a mess, but it works. Decent stats and Dry Skin is very handy for an Electric-type, but why is it part Normal? Why not part Ground or Rock? Anyway, Pyroar is awesome, if limited in its purpose due to a shallow movepool. Diggersby is one of the ugliest and most useless Pokémon ever created, BUT I nabbed one with Huge Power which makes it a complete beast. Then there's Aegislash whom I think is kinda cool, but gimmicky and a real pain to use. Overall, this team is pretty meh (three Normal-types!) but I had a pretty limited list to work with. Really Game Freak? Only 69 new Pokémon? C'mon... Those lame Mega Evolutions don't count...

===Alpha Sapphire===
Instead of my usual mini-review of the game, I went full on and wrote an actual article on Bulbanews which you can read [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Omega_Ruby_and_Alpha_Sapphire:_A_retrospective_review right here]. I got a ton of positive feedback from people. Even those that disagreed with me. I'm really happy with how the review turned out, but a big thing I forgot to mention is the lack of character customization. Masuda says it's because Brendan and May have set designs, but I don't see how at least offering skin, hair, or clothing color changes would have been out of the question. But anyway, the review can be heavily summed up as, the game was disappointing for me. It's a near 1:1 remake with very little changed.

As for my team, I carefully chose this team around a lack of Flying-type, because Hoenn lacks any good ones. It also contained three Pokémon I had never used before. I was curious how it would turn out. Well, it turned out...ok. Not great, but not bad. Blaziken lead the team as awesome as always. I was planning to use a Flygon, so {{u|Jo_The_Marten}} hooked me up with a really well-bred Trapinch. A really great team member. In my recent attempts to use other Electric-types, Manectric was put on the team. It turned out ok and did its job, but Speed aside, couldn't compete with the power and durability of Magnezone. Sharpedo was a gift from {{u|SharKing}} and was the biggest problem member of the team. It was beastly in attack power, but the super low defenses were an issue at times. However, the biggest issue was simply being a Physical Water-type. Rock and Ground-types have high Defenses, and a lot of Fire-types have Flame Body. Sharpedo can be fun to use, and is awesome to Surf on in ORAS, but by no real fault of its own, proved to be a bit of a hassle. I'm really going to lessen my use of Physical Water-types in the future. Next was Gardevoir. After finally evolving from Kirlia, Gardevoir was just a monster, killing most things in one hit. Not much else to say. Gardevoir rocked. Also, Roserade was a beast. I rarely find places for Grass-types on my teams, but I wanted a Poison-type to handle the new Fairy-types in the game, and Roserade was awesome. Fast, powerful, and even able to take some Special Attacks.

===Gen VII===
{| style="background: #{{steel color light}};" class="expandable"
|
|-
|

===Moon===
The hype train for Gen VII was huge. The reveal alone proved that X and Y were merely test beds for a Pokémon game in 3DS. So with Gen VI out of the way, they could really flex their muscles, and they went all in on making a new and unique experience. Gone were gyms, badges, HMs, and instead we got Totem Pokémon and a rich story that takes center stage featuring an all new kind of Pokémon. [[Ultra Beast]]s! So how did it go over? Was it the amazing new direction that the fans were dying for? Did my cold, dark heart get turned on by the rich landscapes and deep character progression? 
Not really. 
Most fans were mixed. Some praising the changes, other loathing them. I'm right in the middle. I certainly didn't hate the games, but I personally found all the changes pretty redundant. Totem battles are a little more challenging than gym battles, but the lack of gym and trainers really took the feel of grandeur away from the experience for me. Also, the story, while a lot deeper than previous games, was interesting, but I personally feel like Ultra Beasts are just legendaries by a different name. I did like a lot of the new characters, so that's a plus. 
On the downside, a LOT less Pokémon. Take out Ultra Beasts and legendaries, and we are left with '''62''' Pokémon. Seriously?? Take away the starters and version exclusives and you get '''''51''''' new, available Pokémon. To supplement this, we got Alolan [[Regional form|regional variant]]s. They're ok, but they're too few to make a big difference. Overall, I was slightly disappointed with Sun and Moon, but it was definitely worth them trying new things, so I'm not too mad about it.

But making a team out of only 51 Pokémon proved a little difficult, but I managed to do it.
* Popplio is not a design I liked too much, but the evolution line makes up for it in sheer battling ability. Primarina is a fantastic Pokémon. Takes hits and dishes huge damage in return.
* Toucannon is really straightforward. Normal/Flying with usable Speed and massive Attack. Compliment that with a fantastic ability ({{a|Skill Link}}) and you get a solid, reliable Pokémon. Also, I love how continuously angry it is.
* I actually didn't plan to use Magnemite, but I caught a Modest one with amazing IVs in [[Hau'oli City]] and had to use it. Decided to keep it as a Magneton to take advantage of the higher Speed. Magneton worked great as always.
* Took a while to find a good, female Salandit, but worth it. Salazzle is a bit weak in defenses, but has the power, versatility, and speed to make up for it.
* Wasn't sure about Mudsdale, given it's atrocious Speed, but with it's {{a|Stamina}} Ability continuously bolstering it's awesome Defense, and huge Attack, Mudsdale could take pretty much any hit, shrug it off, and slam right back. Solid Pokémon.
* Bewear is an odd Pokémon. Massive size, massive power, tiny Cry. Also, it's pink. It does what it does, and what it does is deal massive damage. It's almost too straightforward for me to truly love it, but I was glad it was on my side.

====Ultra Sun====
In the previous section, I basically described Sun and Moon as an experiment in trying new things. When they announced UltraSun and UltraMoon, I was intrigued. Black 2 and White 2 proved that they could make a fantastic sequel to a Pokémon game and I was really hoping they would do it again. Sun and Moon were all about new, and fresh ideas. It would have been awesome if they could make sequels that built on the introduced material. 
They didn't. 
USUM are, in my opinion, hugely disappointing and borderline pointless. They are basically Sun and Moon with some tweaks to the story and minor quality of life improvements. It took me quite a while to beat these games because I simply didn't feel like it. They're so similar to Sun and Moon that I tell people, if you haven't played SM, play USUM instead. If you have played SM, then don't bother with USUM as it's basically the same game. They feel like remakes of a game released in the same generation, rather than whole new games. Disappointing and pointless games.

As mentioned in my Moon rundown, the number of regional Pokémon was very limited, so I had to get creative. The results were decidedly mixed.
* Decidueye was my first Grass starter since Bulbasaur. Yea, I rarely pick Grass starters and...I now know why. Decidueye is very good, but wasn't nearly as versatile as Primarina was in my previous run. But I love it's design.
* I bred for a Modest Oricorio that had Hidden Power Fire because Oricorio, while good, has no non-Flying STAB moves available to it. Did the effort pay off? Eh... It's reasonably fast and strong but stupidly limited. Why such a bad movepool, Game Freak??
* I was very hesitant to use a Ribombee. It seemed too cutesy to be usable, but I was very wrong. Can't take a hit, but it's fast, powerful, and versatile. Can't get hit if you OHKO the opponent first!
* What?? Lunatone?? Hell yea. It's typing fit my team perfectly and I briefly used one in Sapphire years ago. With it's Gen VII stat boost, I traded one in and it worked so well!! A true underdog and unexpected delight. Great Pokémon.
* Alolan Dugtrio get the award for biggest disappointment. Yea, it's fast and strong, but it can't take a hit ''at all'' and has surprisingly limited moves. Also, never was a fan of the long hair. {{a|Tangling Hair}} was pretty useful, though.
* Kommo-o was brought in from my Moon game. Takes forever to train it, but is extremely rewarding. It takes so long to train but didn't frustrate me. I grew really attached to it and am glad I gave it a shot.

==Favorite Pokémon==
All Pokémon listed below are in order of Pokédex, not the order I like them.

===Gen I===
I like a lot of Gen I Pokémon, but I fully admit that it's based heavily on nostalgia. I grew up with these Pokémon, so there's very few I actively dislike. Some will argue that Gen I had some boring designs, but I argue that it was their first outing. It was a simpler time. Besides, there's nothing wrong with a simple design. Moreover, there are plenty of completely original designs as well. I swear some people just look for reasons to hate on Gen I.

|- class="c" bgcolor=#{{blue color light}}
! Pokémon
! Original sprite
! Current art
! width="100%" | Why?
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Venusaur}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 003.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:003Venusaur.png|100px]]
| class="l" | No real story here, it was my Blue starter, liked it since. I think it can best be described as "quiet attitude." Haven't used it much since Gen I, but it doesn't matter. You never forget your first. Statistically has the best stats in Gen I, but {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}} are fairly useless types in the grand scheme. However, the Physical/Special split gives it a lot of new versatility and the new Fairy-type being weak to Poison gives it a new target to destroy. Venusaur has been a silent hero for years, but with these changes, it's all looking up for ol' Venusaur....
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Nidoking}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 034.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:034Nidoking.png|100px]]
| class="l" | He's just AWESOME. You can get the king early in any game he's in and could use him to the very end. Ridiculously versatile with solid stats and a movepool that stretches around the world....twice. Got a nice bump in power in Gen VI, too! But let's not forget, just look at him, look! One of the most straightforward and badass designs in Pokémon. ANGER. SPIKES. FANGS. CLAWS. NIDOKING HAS IT ALL. Whether it be quick brutality of {{m|Earthquake}} or the slow HP sap of Poison, Nidoking rocks. Nidoking is my next favorite Pokémon behind the Magnemite family.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Primeape}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 057.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:057Primeape.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I am not generally a fan of monkey Pokémon because I'm not really a fan of monkeys in general. But Primeape doesn't care. Primeape is too angry to care what I think, and I respect that. Hits fast and hard with utter simplicity. There's not much to say about Primeape because it lays all its cards down at all times. It goes into battle with no care for its own self. It just wants to win.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Magnemite}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 081.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:081Magnemite.png|100px]]
| class="l" | What is Magnemite? No one knows. Some people just say "it's a Magnet" but that would ignore the sphere, eye, and screws. Magnemite can not be properly described. That is one of the reasons I love it. I have been a fan of Magnemite since I first saw it. This ridiculous looking Pokémon with it's equally ridiculous cry. I am genuinely annoyed that with every update to in-game cries, Magnemite's gets worse. But that's ok. It isn't jsust the look or the sound, it's also the sheer power this little guy has. It's super durable and can deal massive damage. All this combines is why I love Magnemite. It takes hits, fires back twice as hard, and all the while simply not giving a damn. Magnemite is what it is and nothing else. Except no substitutes, Magnemite will always be my favorite.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Magneton}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 082.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:082Magneton.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Ok, even I admit, Magneton is not the most complex Pokémon. It really is just three Magnemite stuck together. But I'm ok with that because it means we get three times the Magnemite! Magneton demonstrates the fundamentals of magnetism in the most basic way possible. While it comes off as a slightly lazy design, it does lead to some fantastic animations in whatever game it happens to be in, and that's where Magneton shines. Watching the three Magnemite spin around and organize powerful attacks in whatever game you're playing is always a treat. If you don't like Magnemite, you won't like Magneton. But I do, so I do. Respect the magnet trio because if you don't, just remember, 120 Special Attack.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Dodrio}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 085.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:085Dodrio.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I overlooked Dodrio for a long time, but when I finally noticed, I realized it is really good. Fast, hits hard, and it has three heads! Its almost like a bird version of The Three Stooges if you think about it. The combination of easy to use and ridiculous design is a winning combination every time. I wish I had more to say about a three-headed bird that can't fly, but I don't. Dodrio is just a damn good Pokémon.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Kingler}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 099.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:099Kingler.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Giant Crab. Giant claws. ''And'' it walks sideways! Weeee!! THANK YOU GEN IV SPLIT!! As soon as I heard of the Physical/Special split, Kingler was #1 on my mind. Always a cool design, but when it was able to start using Physical STAB attacks, I knew it would be great fun to use. Power aside, this giant, cookie loving crab is often overlooked. But that just means less people see it coming when it smashes their faces in.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Hitmonlee}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 106.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:106Hitmonlee.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another Pokémon I overlooked for a long time, but better late than never I guess. The design of it is baffling, but that doesn't matter when it can kick you from across the room. This is another Pokémon that doesn't need crazy gimmicks to work which is why I like it. Huge Attack with powerful attacks. Being such a rarity for years, it holds a special place in my mind. It's just plain fun to use.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Pinsir}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 127.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:127Pinsir.png|100px]]
| class="l" | IT'S A WALKING GUILLOTINE!! If it were real, I bet it would murder people for fun. You do not mess with Pinsir. Thanks to Gen IV, it explodes out of the gate thanks to {{m|X-Scissor}}, and can commence a serious beat down. I've never used a Pinsir on any of my teams, but the design of it is so awesome that I don't have to.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Porygon}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 1b 137.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:137Porygon.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Similar to Magnemite, the sound it makes was the real attention grabber. Then the appearance. Those sharp edges, pointy tail, and duck face. Finally, the sheer hilarity of it all. Sadly, it got completely ruined by Pikachu in [[EP038]], so Game Freak will never give it any sort of attention. Yea, it got evolutions, but Porygon itself is usually left behind. If you don't like it for it's silliness, then at least feel bad for it.

====Extras====
Basically, Pokémon I really like, but don't have enough to say to warrant a full explanation.

===Gen II===
Similar to Gen I, I like a lot of Gen II Pokémon based on nostalgia, but you can tell that some of the Pokémon inclusions were starting to walk the line between originality and gimmicky. You can also see some of the designs get a little more complex. But still, some great Pokémon, albeit, not a very powerful generation...

| class="l" | {{p|Typhlosion}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 157.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:157Typhlosion.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another awesome Pokemon given to you for free, and it doesn't have that nasty {{type|Flying}} to bother with extra weakness. Thanks to Typhlosion only being seriously available in G/S/C, I've found it to be a "want what you can't have" and that makes me like it more. Didn't wear out its welcome. Big and mean when it needs to, but warm and fuzzy otherwise. Typhlosion is just a solid design and friend to everyone (except to enemies WHO MUST BURN).
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Feraligatr}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 160.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:160Feraligatr.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Although hindered by being a physical Water-type, Feraligatr doesn't care. Whether it's crushing opponents in it's jaws, or dancing the night away, Feraligatr does it all. My first Gen II starter, so I am slightly bias, but even through the years, my adoration for this big gator is still strong. Besides, Feraligatr and I both share an affinity to misspelled names.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Flaaffy}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 180.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:180Flaaffy.png|100px]]
| class="l" |SHEEP!!! It's a sheep, ''AND'' a Pokémon!! Flaaffy and Mareep, the look, the sound, just hilarious. On a strict novelty basis, oh yes. Flaaffy is still a sheep, and it still sounds hilarious. But, when it evolves, [[User:MAGNEDETH/hate#Gen II|it's all over]]. I have been a fan of Mareep and Flaaffy ever since I laid eyes on them. They don't need to be good in battle to win my heart.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Unown}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 201.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:201Unown.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I don't know why but I was always obsessed with these things. They are so weird and funny. If only they were useful. I always wonder if they could form together and make a super Unown or something. Regardless, I always enjoy when they pop up.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Pineco}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 204.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:204Pineco.png|100px]]
| class="l" | It's a pine cone, AND a Pokémon!! WHAT A HILARIOUS CONCEPT!! Seriously, Pineco is awesome. Between this, the sheep, Unown, and many others, Gen II had some amazing designs for Pokémon. I'm being half-sarcastic with that, but I refuse to elaborate. Just accept that Pineco is cool and move on.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Steelix}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 208.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:208Steelix.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Being the intro for {{t|Steel}}, Nintendo needed a good first show, and here it is. A giant snake made of Steel. Looks awesome, sounds awesome, and is way better than {{p|Onix}}. It will wall the hell out of physical attacks, but just keep those {{m|Water Gun}}s away from it.... Still, Steelix looks and sounds good.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Scizor}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 212.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:212Scizor.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another crazy new Steel-type, and they pulled it off. Excellent stats except {{stat|Speed}}, but if it did have more Speed, it would be unstoppable. Even so, when I did a lot of competitive battling, Scizor was a huge asset to the team. Speed is useless when you can abuse increased priority and {{a|Technician}}. Scizor had some growing pains by way of crap moves in Gen II, but these days, it's a proper beast.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Heracross}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 214.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:214Heracross.png|100px]]
| class="l" | This big, bad, bug with a giant horn is an odd one. You'd be forgiven to think it's just a gimmick, but Heracross can deliver quite a beatdown. It took a couple generations before they gave it any properly useful moves outside of {{m|Megahorn}} (and {{m|Reversal}} I guess) but regardless, it's a fun design. I helps that hercules beetles are just plain cool.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Houndoom}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 2s 229.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:229Houndoom.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another Gen II type intro. This time, the {{t|Dark}} intro. '''Hellgar''' is one of those Pokémon that I don't understand anyone not liking. Aside from being a good boy at heart, It can rip threw opponents with ease thanks to solid moves and stats. Great design, stats, and moves. This evil pup is just fantastic.

===Gen III===
Here we have the first Generation that I had no nostalgia goggles on. While I like far fewer in general, I still like a solid amount overall. You can clearly see the increase in design complexity overall, but some of that is what helped define Hoenn's overall motif.

| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 257.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:257Blaziken.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Unique type combo (at the time) and great stats. It's also the most useful {{type|Fire}} in [[Hoenn]] (that may be a matter of opinion). Flaming kick to the face. '''''BAM!!''''' {{p|Infernape}} tried to dethrone, but failed (in my opinion anyway). Blaziken is just plain cool. The fact it's a beast in battle just adds to the spectacle.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Lotad}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 270.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:270Lotad.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Lotad gets the coveted Magnemite Award for a Pokémon that offers instant gratification to any who lay their eyes upon it for the first time. Similar to Magnemite, the moment I saw Lotad, I loved it. It's a clever design done as straight as possible. The name alone makes me smile as well. Lotad wins on all fronts.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Gardevoir}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 282.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:282Gardevoir.png|100px]]
| class="l" | There's a respectable elegance to how Gardevoir, if it were real, would likely battle with a smooth flow, while also dishing out massive damage. Some may like Gardevoir for rather unsavory reasons, but I always liked it for it's simple battling prowess and design. It's a surprisingly straightforward design if you think about it.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Breloom}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 286.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:286Breloom.png|100px]]
| class="l" | The fact it evolves from a pod-like blob of grass is great. Go from this horrid little nothing to...whatever Breloom is supposed to be, but with immense {{stat|Attack}} and you win! When I first played, Sapphire, I already knew what it was, but I wish I could have had this evolution surprise unspoiled. Breloom has a silly design and a ton of power to let people know it doesn't care what you think.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Trapinch}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 328.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:328Trapinch.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Similar to Lotad, the moment I saw Trapinch, I loved it. This tiny ant with a giant head. You'd feel sorry for it until you realize it has a massive Attack stat. It's about as slow as molasses in the winter, but don't run from little Trapinch. Take it as your own and you shall be rewarded...
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Flygon}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 330.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:330Flygon.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A big, friendly killer. There's a lot to like about Flygon. Fast, strong, some respectable versatility, and when the battle is won, you can fly to your next destination on it. It's the sort of excellent design that can be either cute or fearsome. This is another Pokémon that I can't see people disliking.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Lunatone}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 337.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:337Lunatone.png|100px]]
| class="l" | What we have here is a crescent moon with a giant eye and pointy mouth in the middle. I love Lunatone. Although part of a duo with {{p|Solrock}}, I briefly used one in a Sapphire run to tank hits, and enjoyed its company. Thanks to a nice boost in HP as of Gen VII, it's even better at doing that. All the while, it has a great Special Attack. More people need to give Lunatone a chance. Well, after they remember it exists, I guess.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Metagross}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 3r 376.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:376Metagross.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Huge Pokémon with huge popularity. I can't blame the masses for liking Metagross. It's a big beast with a super high IQ and ability to fly. It takes hits, it deals hits, and can do it all day. Just an awesome design overall and tons of fun to use.

===Gen IV===
A weird generation that gave us a mix of all new and refreshed classics. There's not as many here that I like in terms of the completely original additions, but the new evolutions gave some much needed help to classics while also complimenting a fair number of the new Pokémon. Designs of this generation I'd say are arguable the best with a nice mix of complex and clean designs all around.

! width="100%" | Why?
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Empoleon}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 395.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:395Empoleon.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Although I'd still greatly prefer Empoleon as a part Ice instead of Steel, it doesn't make a huge difference. Solid bulk and power make Empoleon a surprising powerhouse. I say surprising because for some reason, people don't seem to realize that Empoleon packs quite a punch. All the better to surprise opponents with...
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Staraptor}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 398 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:398Staraptor.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A regional bird done very right. We haven't seen a Normal/Flying bird this deadly since Dodrio, and not even Dodrio can hold up to Staraptor's 120 Attack power and great coverage. I think with some tweaks, Staraptor could have been part Fighting, but it wasn't meant to be. Still, it could easily tear through unprepared opponents while maintaining fantastic hair.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Garchomp}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 445 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:445Garchomp.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Garchomp was an instant favorite of mine as soon as I knew it existed. A literal shark on land, it has the power to back up the looks. I don't really have much to say about it. I feel like it's so obvious how awesome Garchomp is.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Lucario}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 448.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:448Lucario.png|100px]]
| class="l" | I wasn't as sold on Lucario as easily as everyone else was. It had to prove to me that it was as good as everyone said. So it did. When I used one online, it may have been my MVP. My Lucario ripped through not just Pokémon, but sometimes whole teams with ease. Lucario earned my respect, and I didn't have to watch a movie to understand the appeal.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Weavile}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 461 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:461Weavile.png|100px]]
| class="l" | It was awesome when they did the Physical/Special split and made Sneasel useful, but then they cranked it up to 11 and gave us Weavile. Quite a glass canon with it's awesome speed and power with paper defenses, but who cares? It's arguably one of the coolest Pokémon around.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Magnezone}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 462.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:462Magnezone.png|100px]]
| class="l" | When Gen IV was announced and people told me Magneton got an evolution, I was very hesitant. Even after I saw Magnezone for the first time, I was a little put off. Is this some kind of UFO or something? That doesn't make sense. I was frequently asked what I thought about it, and for a while, I wasn't sure. But a few things happened. First, I saw it's stats and used one. The sheer power Magnezone has combined with it's even greater bulk makes for an awesome combo. (Still not sure why they nerfed the Speed though.) But second, and most importantly, I simple grew to appreciate the design. It's basically a hugely overgrown Magnemite. Talk about more to love. Similar to Magneton, I can see why some would be put off, but I have grown to really like Magnezone and welcome it to the family.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Togekiss}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 468.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:468Togekiss.png|100px]]
| class="l" | One of the first Gen IV Pokémon I trained for online battles was a Togekiss. I liked it's well distributed stats and huge movepool. These attributes were well founded as Togekiss became a really reliable team member for me. Appearance wise, I think it's a bit bloated, but it doesn't bother me too much. And when it's shooting {{m|Aura Sphere}}'s through opponents, or getting {{a|Serene Grace}} flinch hax, it doesn't matter what it looks like.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Yanmega}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 469.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:469Yanmega.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Take innocent little Yanma and drop radioactive ooze all over it, and you get Yanmega! I loved the design the moment I saw it, and I still think it looks great. Amazing ability and fantastic stats mean it's also super useful. Not a lot else to say here. Dragonflies are cool and Yanmega is too.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Gliscor}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 472.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:472Gliscor.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Another Pokémon that got a properly angry makeover with its evolution. Doesn't get the huge Attack I would expect, but it's usable enough and has options for days with high Defense, Speed, and some great moves. Again not too much to say other than, it's great.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Mamoswine}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 473 m.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:473Mamoswine.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Piloswine was a real unfortunate case. Powerful, but too many weaknesses to overcome it's horrid Speed. So now we have Mamoswine. Just fast enough to outrun some baddies, and a massive attack stat to make sure that they don't get a second chance to attack. It's a bit of a doofy design, but I sort of instantly liked it when I saw it the first time.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Porygon-Z}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 474.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:474Porygon-Z.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Porygon is cooler, but Z has so much {{stat|Special Attack}}, it could spare some for the poor. But it won't. What Z lacks in charm, it makes up for in sheer insanity. It's design is literally broken, but with {{a|Adaptability}} and a massive Special Attack, it could blast holes through just about anything in its way.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Gallade}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 4d 475.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:475Gallade.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A somewhat unexpected split evolution, but very welcome. Take the elegant dancing of Gardevoir and make it a swordsmen instead. Gallade wasn't expected, but makes perfect sense. It's a lot of fun to use and makes some cool noises, too. Would have been nice to get this in Gen III so we're not left with such an awkward evolution split, but whatever. At least we got Gallade in the first place.

===Gen V===
The first Generation since...the first to include enough new Pokémon that they didn't need outside additions. This was a huge thing and with it a lot of cool new Pokémon. Some people take issue with the originality of some revealed in this generation, and I understand that, but look past them and at the real gems of this generation.

| class="l" | {{p|Excadrill}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 530.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:530Excadrill.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Fast, hard hitting, metal mole. That is a recipe for awesome. I searched forever when I first played White to find a good Nature Drilbur in those damn dust clouds, but I'm glad I did because Excadrill is just pure destruction. Great Speed and tons of Attack power.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Leavanny}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 542.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:542Leavanny.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Leavanny looks harmless, but when you're not looking, it can slice you in half. Well rounded stats, a slick movepool, and early availability make it an easy choice for a team member. I didn't start using one until half-way through a run, just wanting something to fill a niche, and Leavanny was exactly what I needed. An unexpectedly great Pokémon.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Krookodile}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 553.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:553Krookodile.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Two amazingly awesome Ground-types in one Generation. Krookodile lacks the drill on it's head but makes up for it with built-in sunglasses. I don;t know if any Pokémon can tough the cool factor of Krookodile. Not just a cool customer, it can also destroy opponents with ease. Huge Attack and great Speed make using it easy and fun.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Sigilyph}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 561.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:561Sigilyph.png|100px]]
| class="l" | What we have here is possibly one of the most ridiculous designs in the entire series. Of all the things to make a Pokémon on, Game Freak gave us a living embodiment of the {{wp|Nazca Lines}}. No one saw that coming and if anyone says they did, they're a liar. Great thing about Sigilyph is that while opponents are trying to determine what it is, it can easily destroy them with great Speed, Special Attack, and {{a|Magic Guard}}. To me, Sigilyph is just plain awesome.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Archeops}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 567.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:567Archeops.png|100px]]
| class="l" | While Defeatist is annoying, when it ISN'T activated, Archeops is just insane. It looks like it tripped and fell into a bunch of paint, but don't let appearances deceive you. When at full power, Archeops delivers some of the hardest hits in the entire series. Ripping through the Battle Subway is almost too easy with Archeops.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Galvantula}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 596.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:596Galvantula.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Here we have an electrified tarantula that evolves from a tick. Pokémon, man...it's great. Another crazy design but it works so well. I was instantly interested in Galvantula as soon as it was revealed. Great stats and a very useful {{a|Compoundeyes}} Ability makes Galvantula one of the few useful spiders seen in Pokémon. (Seriously, why do so many spider Pokémon suck?)
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Chandelure}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 609.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:609Chandelure.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Two sides to the coin here. On the face of things, it's an interesting concept. A ghostly chandelier. That alone is pretty cool. But a staggering 145 Special Attack makes it absolutely insane. When I saw the stats on this thing, I genuinely didn't believe it. But believe it. Chandelure is amazing. Simple and effective design with astronomical power to take out the haters.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Mienshao}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 620.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:620Mienshao.png|100px]]
| class="l" | A textbook Fighting-type with a bizarre appearance. Fast, incredibly powerful, but frail. That's all it needs to be. Making it look like a cat in long sleeves that can't sit still just means you won't be expecting the destruction.
|-
| class="l" | {{p|Golurk}}
| class="c" | [[File:Spr 5b 623.png]]
| class="c" | [[File:623Golurk.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Big ghostly statue that causes earthquakes. What is this thing and why can it fly? It doesn't matter because Golurk has no time for your judgemental opinions. There's a lot to like here with it's unique typing and powerful Attack stat. Add this to the pile of Pokémon that people simply shouldn't dislike.

===Gen VI===
The infamous Gen VI. A pitiful, and frankly embarrassing amount of Pokémon introduced in this generation. But to be fair, it's a case of quality over quantity because there are some awesome Pokémon in here. Just not a lot of them. There's even fewer because we never got an additional game, so it's the only generation I've only played once. If I replay it at some point, some opinions may change.

| class="c" | [[File:668Pyroar Dream.png|100px]]
| class="c" | [[File:668Pyroar-Female.png|100px]]
| class="l" | Simple and effective. The king of the jungle comes to France...for some reason...and makes a name for itself as a reliable, if slightly unremarkable, Pokémon. It doesn't really do anything in particular better than others, but it's stoic and reliable in it's ability to destroy, just a lion should be.

| class="c" | [[File:689Barbaracle Dream.png|100px]]

| class="l" | I've never used a Barbaracle, and due to my dislike of physical Water-types, not sure I will. But while most people find it ugly and confusing, I think this thing is great. Barbaracle is all claws at all times. Any angle you approach it, you are going to have to deal with claws. It's just cool.

| class="l" | This is the insanity I want. It fights, it flies, and has a crazy outfit to top it off. Slightly lacking in sheer power, but that doesn't stop it from flying around the battlefield smashing everything it wants. A lot of fun to use. So glad that they finally delivered a Fighting/Flying, and it was something as cool as Hawlucha.

===Gen VI===
Gen VII...oh dear... I mean, there's technically more Pokémon to pick from, and having played through the region twice, I have a better understanding of Pokémon I do and don't like. But still, the disappointment is strong... Worth noting that if I really liked any Alolan variants, they'd be here.

| class="l" | This whole evolution line have great designs. Decidueye in particular looks great. Using it's hood vines to tighten focus and launch precision bow shots is so cool. In battle, I'd say it's only a bit better than mediocre, but it get's the job done.

Tons of power, bulky defenses, and great moves. It's almost like the Gardevoir of the sea in how it battles. Strong, but elegant.

It also has a ton of tricks in battle, be it {{a|Skill Link}}, {{m|Beak Blast}}, or just straight up using it's huge Attack stat. But at the end of the day, it is based on a toucan.

| class="l" | Big horse tank hits. It's odd because real horses a sort of fickle things. They can get sick and die fairly easily, but not Mudsdale. Absolute beast of a Pokémon. It shrugs off all physical hits, and even some special ones. Then after that, it hits back like a semi-truck.

| class="l" | When not keeping its harem in line, Salazzle is on the battlefield, sneaking through defenses of unsuspecting opponents. It then has the decision of whether to burn them alive or poison them slowly. Either way, Salazzle gets the job done.
|-

| class="c" | [[File:784Kommo-o.png|100px]]
| class="l" | It's easy for people to like pseudo-legendaries, as they're usually super strong and cool. Kommo-o is as such, but when you find one in the game, it's already near evolution time. Do the right thing and raise one from the start. It's more rewarding. Starting with {{p|Jangmo-o}} makes you appreciate the bulk and power of Kommo-o even more.

Steel (type)

2024-01-28T02:10:35Z

MAGNEDETH:

{{search|in-game type|the TCG type|Metal (TCG)}} ''For the mountain in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], see [[Mt. Steel]].''
----
{{types}}
The '''Steel type''' (Japanese: '''はがねタイプ''' ''Steel type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. It was introduced in [[Generation II]], along with the {{t|Dark}} type. As well as introducing new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[move]]s with the Steel type, 2 Pokémon were changed to have the Steel type. Steel-type moves are super effective against {{t|Fairy}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, while Steel-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Ground}} moves.

==Battle properties==
''Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other {{pkmn|games}} outside the [[core series]].''

{{Flexfooter}}

===Additional effects===
Steel-type Pokémon are immune to damage from the {{weather|sandstorm}} weather condition.

In [[Generation II]], Steel-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poisoned}} by Poison-type moves, hence they can be poisoned only by {{m|Twineedle}}. Starting from [[Generation III]], Steel-type Pokémon cannot get poisoned at all, except by the [[Ability]] {{a|Corrosion}}, introduced in [[Generation VII]].

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Steel-type Pokémon|pages}} Steel-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Steel-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Steel-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[regional form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} as the 6th rarest type after {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Electric}} and before {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}}.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

==Moves==

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Steel-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==Abilities==
===Interacting with the Steel type===
A Pokémon with {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} will become a Steel-type Pokémon if it uses a Steel-type move. A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Multitype}} will become a Steel-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Steel-type move, is sent out against a Steel-type opponent, is holding a [[Steel Memory]], or is holding an [[Iron Plate]] or [[Steelium Z]].

Steel-type Pokémon are also immune to becoming poisoned from the Abilities {{a|Poison Point}}, {{a|Poison Touch}}, {{a|Synchronize}}, or {{a|Effect Spore}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Metal (TCG)}}
Introduced in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} set, Metal-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Fire}} and {{TCG|Fighting}} with resistances to {{TCG|Grass}} and {{TCG|Psychic}}. Metal-type Pokémon can be strong against {{TCG|Water}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, whilst some {{TCG|Water}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon can resist this type.

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===
{{BaseStatNoCat
|type=steel
|HP=71.46
|Attack=96.57
|Defense=108.36
|SpAtk=75.83
|SpDef=82.84
|Speed=65.54

|SpAtk=84.68
|SpDef=90.32

|Total=549.08
}}


==Trivia==
* The Steel type has the most resistances of any type.
* Steel-type Pokémon, on average, have the highest physical {{stat|Defense}} among all Pokémon and among fully evolved Pokémon. 
* [[Generation VII]] introduced the most Steel-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of any [[generation]], with 13, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Steel-type Pokémon since the type was created, with four.
*[[Generation VIII]] introduced the most Steel-type [[move]]s of any generation, with eight, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Steel-type moves since the [[type]] was created, with {{m|King's Shield|one}}.
* In [[Generation II]], the Steel type saw one type change in a Pokémon family ({{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}), but no change in moves. The opposite is true for the {{t|Dark}} type, which saw one type change in a move ({{m|Bite}}), but no change in a Pokémon.
* Before Generation VI, Steel was the only type that had a non-neutral type match-up with all the seventeen existing types, considering both the offense and defense of both types. In Generation VI, it was changed so that Steel no longer resisted Dark- or {{type|Ghost}} moves.
* Each of the three [[starter Pokémon]] types inflict a different amount of damage when attacking a pure Steel-type Pokémon ({{t|Grass}} does ½× damage, {{t|Water}} does 1× damage, and {{t|Fire}} does 2× damage).
** This trait is also shared by the {{t|Bug}} type.
* In Generation II, there is a [[glitch type]] that is a copy of the Steel type, named “{{DL|List of glitch types (Generation II)|l) m) ZM}}”. The [[????? (Gold/Silver FF)|?????]]{{sup/2|GS}} (hex form FF) is the only Pokémon with this type. This type has no moves.
* The Steel type is tied with the {{t|Dark}} type for most Pokémon that gain it upon evolving, with a total of thirteen each.
* The Steel type is the only type that resists {{type|Dragon}} moves.
* Despite being introduced in [[Generation II]], there were no pure Steel-type Pokémon until [[Generation III]], with {{p|Mawile}} (at the time) and {{p|Registeel}}.
* Every generation since the Steel type debuted has introduced at least one Steel-type [[Type expert|specialist]].
* The Steel type is the last type to receive a {{tc|Team GO Rocket Grunt}} type specialist in [[Pokémon GO]].
* The Steel type is tied with the {{t|Poison}} type for being the most common type among [[Ultra Beasts]], with three Ultra Beasts being Steel- or Poison-type each.
** They are also the only types to share an immunity to a [[status condition]], both being immune to [[Poison (status condition)|poisoning]].
* The Steel type has been paired up with every other type except for {{t|Normal}} (not including [[Pokéstar Studios]] opponents).

Ghost (type)

2024-01-28T02:10:20Z

MAGNEDETH:

{{Types}}
The '''Ghost type''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Ghost type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Ghost-type [[move]]s are super effective against Ghost- and {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Ghost-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Dark}}- and Ghost-type moves.

==Battle properties==
''Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other {{pkmn|games}} outside the [[core series]].''

===Additional effects===
If the user has the [[Ability]] {{a|Scrappy}} or {{a|Mind's Eye}}, or the target is under the effect of the [[move]]s {{m|Foresight}} or {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Fighting}} moves will deal ×1 damage to Ghost-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

In [[Generation I]] only, Ghost-type Pokémon cannot be [[Paralysis|paralyzed]] by {{m|Lick}}, and are affected by {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Seismic Toss}}, {{m|SonicBoom}}, and {{m|Super Fang}}, despite these moves being Normal- and Fighting-type, which the Ghost type is normally immune to.

The move {{m|Curse}}, introduced in [[Generation II]], functions differently when used by a Ghost-type Pokémon.

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}} only, Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to {{m|Glare}}.

From [[Generation VI]] onwards, Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to effects that prevent [[recall]] or [[escape]] (such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{a|Shadow Tag}}), and they are also guaranteed to flee from any wild battle regardless of {{stat|Speed}}.

The move {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}, introduced in Generation VI, adds the Ghost type to the target's [[type]]s.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation IX]], {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Ghost-type Pokémon|pages}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Ghost-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon are Ghost-type (counting those that are Ghost-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[regional form]]s), making it the third rarest type among Pokémon after {{t|Fairy}} and before {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Electric}}.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed.

==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 34 Ghost-type [[move]]s, which makes up 3.64% of all moves (excluding those that are Ghost-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with {{t|Bug}} as the 4th rarest [[type]] among moves after {{t|Ice}} and before {{t|Poison}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Ghost-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

===Interacting with the Ghost type===
A Pokémon with {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} will become a Ghost-type Pokémon if it uses a Ghost-type move. A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Multitype}} will become a Ghost-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Ghost-type move, is sent out against a Ghost-type opponent, is holding a [[Ghost Memory]], or is holding a [[Spooky Plate]] or [[Ghostium Z]].

Since Generation VI, Ghost-type Pokémon are also immune to {{a|Magnet Pull}}, {{a|Arena Trap}}, and {{a|Shadow Tag}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Psychic (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG compared to the game series, Ghost-type Pokémon fall under the {{type|Psychic}}.

Psychic-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Darkness}} and other Psychic Pokémon, with resistances to {{TCG|Colorless}} and {{TCG|Fighting}}. Psychic-type Pokémon are strong against {{TCG|Grass}} (until {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}), {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Psychic}} Pokémon, whilst {{TCG|Colorless}}, {{TCG|Darkness}}, and {{TCG|Metal}} Pokémon can resist this type.

==Trivia==
[[File:Totem Trevenant present.png|thumb|250px|A deceased {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Trevenant}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
* [[Generation VIII|Generations VIII]] and [[IX]] introduced the most Ghost-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of any [[generation]], with thirteen. [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest Ghost-type Pokémon, with only one, {{p|Misdreavus}}.
** Despite being introduced in [[Generation I]], there were no pure Ghost-type Pokémon until Generation II introduced Misdreavus.
* [[Generation VII]] introduced the most Ghost-type [[move]]s of any generation, with eight. [[Generation V]] introduced the fewest Ghost-type moves, with only one, {{m|Hex}}.
* In [[Generation I]], Ghost-type moves have no effect on {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super-effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by [[Nintendo]], two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} (''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' and ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]''), and even the games themselves, where a [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in {{game|Yellow}}). This was corrected in Generation II to make Ghost-type moves actually be super effective against Psychic-type Pokémon.
* The Ghost type is the only [[type]] who is immune to two types: {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Fighting}}.
** It is also the only type to have ever been ineffective against two types: Normal and Psychic in Generation I.
** Ghost and Normal are the only two types to be ineffective against each other.
* As of [[Generation VI]], Ghost is tied with {{t|Dragon}} for being the least resisted type.
* While the Ghost-type has an immunity to {{type|Normal}} moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal-type can affect them, including {{m|Hidden Power}} (whose actual type varies) and {{m|Struggle}} (which inflicts [[Type#Typeless|typeless]] damage from Generation II onward).
* In the {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} games, Ghost-type Pokémon can walk through "walls" (some dungeons have cliffs, holes, or other equivalents), although doing so rapidly depletes their [[Belly]] meter. This is a reference to how [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|ghosts]] are often depicted as being able to phase through objects.
** Despite not being Ghost-type, {{p|Darkrai}} is also able to walk through walls.
* From [[Generation VI]] to [[Generation VIII]], it was not possible for any Pokémon to possess a double resistance to Ghost. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it is now possible for a Pokémon to have a double resistance to Ghost-type moves if it has {{a|Purifying Salt}} and is {{type|Dark}}.
**The only Pokémon to have ever possessed a double resistance to the Ghost-type naturally were {{p|Pawniard}} and {{p|Bisharp}}, both of which are dual-type {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Steel}}.
* [[Kalos]] is the only region without a notable Ghost-type [[Type expert|specialist]].
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Ghost-type Pokémon which are not part-{{type|Flying}} or have {{a|Levitate}} are shown with an animation of physically passing through enemies, referencing the common belief that real-life ghosts can pass through solid objects. They cannot, however, pass through any other obstacle on the field in-game.
* Ghost- and Dark-type moves are super effective against the same types. As of Generation VI, the only difference between them is that Dark-type moves are not very effective on {{t|Fighting}}- or {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon while Ghost-type moves do not affect Normal-type Pokémon.
* As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', some Ghost-type Pokémon, despite their name, can still [[Death in the Pokémon world|die]]. This was first mentioned in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where [[Acerola]] revealed that her {{shiny}} {{p|Mimikyu}}, Mimikins, is in fact the ghost of a deceased Mimikyu. Later, in ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', it is revealed that {{an|Professor Kukui}} had once befriended a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Trevenant}} that he [[nickname]]d Elder. It is later revealed that Elder has since died, its body now a regular tree, though the circumstances of its death weren't revealed. {{mov|Giratina}} is another Ghost-type whose life has been in danger, in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. However, despite this, it still appears that many Ghost-type Pokémon, particularly ones who are more similar to traditional ghosts, are indeed immune to the ravages of time and can live on indefinitely; for instance, a {{p|Yamask}} shown in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'' was told to be millennia old.
* All Ghost-type moves are eligible to be used in [[Sky Battle]]s.
* The Ghost type was the last type to have at least one Pokémon officially owned by {{Ash}} in the anime, following his capture of a {{AP|Gengar}} in ''[[JN016|A Chilling Curse!]]''.
* {{t|Rock}} is the only type that has yet to be paired with Ghost.
* Ghost and {{t|Dragon}} share some characteristics. They both:
** originally had three Pokémon in Generation I, then gained only one more in Generation II.
** are the only types that are weak to themselves.
** have one type immune to them and one type resistant to them.
* Until [[The Isle of Armor]] and the introduction of {{m|Poltergeist}}, every Ghost-type move had 100% accuracy or could not miss.
* In Japanese, the Ghost type shares its name with {{p|Haunter}}, whose Japanese name is ゴースト ''Ghost''.

{{types}}
The '''Bug type''' (Japanese: '''むしタイプ''' ''Bug type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Bug-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Dark}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, and {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Bug-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type|Rock}} moves.

==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 34 Bug-type [[move]]s, which makes up 3.64% of all moves (excluding those that are Bug-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Fairy}} as the 4th rarest type among moves, after {{t|Ice}} and before {{t|Poison}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Bug-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

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

Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Bug-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{TCG|Grass}}-type Pokémon.

Grass-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Fire}}-type Pokémon and have no resistance. They are strong against some {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Darkness}} Pokémon, and until {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} were strong against some {{TCG|Water}} types as well, whilst {{TCG|Metal}} Pokémon resisted it until the {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} expansion set before this resistance was brought back in Sword & Shield.

==Statistical averages==

==Trivia==
* On average, Bug-type Pokémon have the lowest base {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and base stat total of all types. 
* Bug is tied with {{t|Grass}} as the most resisted type, with seven types resisting each of them.
* This is the only [[type]]:
** That hasn't been assigned to a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Without a Pokémon that has a [[regional form]] or is one.
** Without a Pokémon in the {{egg|Amorphous}} or {{egg3|Field}}.
* The Bug type has been paired with every other type except for {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Normal}}.
** This makes the Bug type the only type to not have been paired up with {{t|Dragon}}.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Bug-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 18, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Bug-type Pokémon, with three.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Bug-type moves of any Generation, with seven, and [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Bug-type moves, with two.
* The {{t|Flying}} type is one of the two types most commonly paired with the Bug type, with the other type being {{t|Poison}}. However, there are a number of Bug types that are not Flying-types nor have the Ability {{a|Levitate}} despite being able to fly, such as {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Venomoth}}.
** Despite this, the only Bug-type Pokémon that can learn the move {{m|Fly}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Vikavolt}}, are not Flying-type Pokémon.
*** Out of these three Pokémon, Vikavolt is the only one that could not learn Fly in its introductory generation; Vikavolt was made able to learn Fly at [[level]] 50 and from [[TM06]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* Until {{v2|Platinum}}, several Bug-type Pokémon ({{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, and {{p|Combee}}) were unable to learn any Bug-type moves naturally. Each of them can now learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by level-up.
* In [[Generation I]], the Bug type is [[super effective]] against {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, while the Poison type is super effective against Bug-type Pokémon. As such, this was the only case when two different types were ever super-effective against each other.
** Additionally, since Generation I, the Bug and {{t|Fighting}} types are the only two separate types that resist each other.
* The Bug type was the most common 4× weakness in Generation I, with 11 Pokémon doubly weak to it, mainly due to Poison type having a weakness to it at the time.
* Each of the three {{pkmn2|starter}} types have a different effectiveness when attacking a pure Bug-type Pokémon (Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage).
** This trait is also shared with pure {{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon.
* No Pokémon gains the Bug type upon evolution that did not already have it. It shares this distinction with the {{t|Normal}} type.
** Additionally, no Pokémon gains the Bug type upon changing forms with the exceptions of {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Silvally}}, which can change into any type.
* Of all Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|evolve at or above a certain level]], 11 of the earliest-evolving Pokémon are of the Bug type.
* Despite having no [[TM]]s that are of the Bug-type in [[Generation III]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen beta#Sprites|internal data]] contains a sprite for Bug-type TMs.
* All Bug-type moves are eligible to be used in [[Sky Battle]]s.

==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 26 Rock-type [[move]]s, which makes up 2.78% of all moves (excluding those that are Rock-type only under certain circumstances), making it the rarest type among moves, with {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Flying}} tied as the second rarest.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Rock-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Fighting (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Rock-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

Fighting-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Grass}}, {{TCG|Water}} or {{TCG|Psychic}} with no resistances. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against most {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon and some {{TCG|Colorless}} Pokémon, whilst some Colorless and Psychic Pokémon can resist the Fighting type.

==Trivia==
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Rock-type Pokémon of any generation, with twelve. [[Generation VII]] introduced the fewest Rock-type Pokémon, with five.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Rock-type moves of any generation, with six, while [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Rock-type moves, with only {{m|Diamond Storm|one}}.
* Tied with {{t|Grass}}, Rock types have the most weaknesses of any type, with five.
* Rock-type Pokémon, on average, have the lowest {{stat|Speed}} of all Pokémon and of fully evolved Pokémon
* In the first season of the {{pkmn|anime}} and during much of [[Generation I]], the Rock-type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by {{type|Electric}} attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon (namely the {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} evolution lines, and {{p|Onix}}) were part Ground-type and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only non-Ground Rock-type Pokémon around at the time (the then five [[Fossil]] Pokémon) were actually weak to them.
* In the anime on multiple occasions, like in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'' and ''[[EP204|Right On, Rhydon!]]'', {{t|Ground}} and Rock-type Pokémon are said to have a strong aversion to water and generally being wet. {{p|Rhydon}} is often presented as an exception to this rule due to its ability to use the move {{m|Surf}}.
* The Rock type is tied with the {{t|Grass}} type for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five. However, a combination of the two types (Rock/Grass) would only have four weaknesses.
** Rock moves are super effective against four of the five types {{t|Grass}} is weak to, with {{t|Poison}} being the exception.
* Most [[Fossil]] Pokémon are either part or solely Rock-type. This is most likely due to the placement of real fossils in rock formations, as well as the process by which fossils are created.
* [[Johto]]'s [[Olivine Gym]] was a Rock-type Gym before the {{t|Steel}} type was discovered.
** This makes [[Unova]] the only region with Gyms not known to have ever had a Rock-type Gym.
* The Rock-type has the fewest [[special move]]s of all types, with three.
* Despite being introduced in [[Generation I]], there were no pure Rock-type Pokémon until [[Generation II]], with only {{p|Sudowoodo}}.
* The Rock type has been paired up with every other type except for {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Normal}}.
** This makes Rock the only type to not have been paired up with Ghost.
* Rock is the only type not represented by a [[Gym Leader]], an [[Elite Four]] member, or a [[Team Star]] Boss in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].
** However, [[Tyme]] is stated to be a former Rock-type Gym Leader. Moreover, {{pkmn|Champion|Top Champion}} [[Geeta]]'s ace Pokémon {{p|Glimmora}} is and {{Tera}}stallizes into the Rock-type, like the aces of the other types' specialists.

----
{{types}}
The '''Ground type''' (Japanese: '''じめんタイプ''' ''Ground type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Ground-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Electric}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Ground-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Water}} moves.

==Battle properties==
''Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other {{pkmn|games}} outside the [[core series]].''
===Generation I===

===Additional effects===
Ground-type Pokémon are immune to {{m|Thunder Wave}}, unless they are holding the [[Ring Target]], introduced in [[Generation V]].

Ground-type Pokémon are also immune to damage from the {{weather|sandstorm}} weather condition, introduced in [[Generation II]]. During a sandstorm, Ground-type moves used by a Pokémon with {{a|Sand Force}} have their power increased by 30%.

From [[Generation II]] onwards, Ground-type moves cannot hit Pokémon under the effects of the moves {{m|Magnet Rise}} or {{m|Telekinesis}}, the [[Air Balloon]], or the {{Abilities}} {{a|Levitate}} or {{a|Earth Eater}}, though all Pokémon except those with {{a|Earth Eater}} lose their immunity to Ground-type moves when they are [[grounded]] (such as by holding an [[Iron Ball]] or being under the effects of the moves {{m|Ingrain}} ([[Generation IV]] onward), {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, or {{m|Thousand Arrows}}). Ground-type moves will also affect {{t|Flying}} type Pokémon when they lose their ungrounded status.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Ground-type Pokémon|pages}} Ground-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Ground-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Ground-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[Galarian form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}} as the 6th rarest type after {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Electric}} and before {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}}.

==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 31 Ground-type [[move]]s, which makes up 3.32% of all moves (excluding those that are Ground-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Dragon}} as the second rarest type among moves, with {{t|Rock}} as the rarest.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Ground-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Fighting (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Ground-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

Ground-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Grass}} and {{TCG|Water}} with a resistance to the {{TCG|Lightning}}-type. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against {{TCG|Colorless}}, {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon, whilst some {{TCG|Colorless}} and {{TCG|Psychic}} Pokémon can resist the Fighting type.

==Trivia==
* [[Generation I]] introduced the most Ground-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 14, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with two.
* Generations I, VI, and {{gen|VIII}} introduced the most Ground-type moves of any Generation, with five, while [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest, with zero.
* Generation VI and IX are the only Generations to not introduce a pure Ground-type Pokémon.
* The Ground type has the highest ratio of super effective offensive matchups over resistances; with five weaknesses opposed to two resistances and one immunity.
* The Ground type is tied with {{t|Fighting}} for the most super effective matchups.
* In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon's immunity to {{type|Electric}} attacks is treated inconsistently, sometimes upheld and sometimes ignored. The anime (in particular ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'') also implies that Ground's immunity to Electric has a limit depending on the voltage, as [[Brock's Onix]], when first fighting Pikachu, was completely unaffected by Pikachu's electricity, but in the rematch, Pikachu's electric attacks, having been boosted at an abandoned hydroelectric plant, were giving Onix a noticeable degree of pain, although it still was not enough to completely incapacitate it, as well as environmental factors (such as water being sprayed on it).
* In the anime on multiple occasions, like in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'' and ''[[EP204|Right On, Rhydon!]]'', Ground and {{t|Rock}}-type Pokémon are said to have strong aversion to water and generally being wet. {{p|Rhydon}} is often presented as an exception to this rule due to its ability to use the move {{m|Surf}}.
* Each type that resists {{t|Flying}} is weak to Ground, and vice versa.
* More Pokémon are immune to Ground-type moves than any other type, as Flying-type Pokémon and Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Levitate}} and {{a|Earth Eater}} are immune to Ground.
* Ground is the only type in the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes that a notable Trainer does not [[Type expert|specialize in]].
* Out of all the types, Ground has the most [[moves]] ineligible for [[Sky Battle]]s, with 12.
* Ground and Flying are tied with having the fewest notable type specialists, with only five each.
* The Ground type has been paired up with every other type except for {{t|Fairy}}.

Poison (type)

2024-01-28T02:08:52Z

MAGNEDETH:

{{types}}
The '''Poison type''' (Japanese: '''どくタイプ''' ''Poison type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Poison-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Fairy}}- and {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Poison-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Ground}}- and {{type|Psychic}} moves.

===Additional effects===
Poison-type Pokémon cannot become {{status|poison}}ed, except by a Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Corrosion}}, introduced in [[Generation VII]].

From [[Generation IV]] onward, [[grounded]] Poison-type Pokémon will remove {{m|Toxic Spikes}} from its side when it switches in.

From [[Generation VI]] onward, when a Poison-type Pokémon uses the move {{m|Toxic}}, it cannot miss, bypassing {{stat|accuracy}} checks and semi-invulnerable turns from moves such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dig}}.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Poison-type Pokémon|pages}} Poison-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Poison-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Poison-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[regional form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Fire}} as the 8th most common type after {{t|Bug}} and before {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}}.

* The stats shown for Starmobile are the exact [[stat]]s, not [[base stat]]s. The values are custom set rather than derived from base stats, [[level]], [[Nature]], [[IV]]s, and [[EVs]].

==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 36 Poison-type [[move]]s, which makes up 3.85% of all moves (excluding those that are Poison-type only under certain circumstances), making it the 5th rarest type among moves, after {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Ghost}}, and {{t|Fairy}} and before {{t|Steel}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Poison-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==Abilities==
===Interacting with the Poison type===
A Pokémon with {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} will become a Poison-type Pokémon if it uses a Poison-type move. A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Multitype}} will become a Poison-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Poison-type move, is sent out against a Poison-type opponent, is holding a [[Poison Memory]], or is holding a [[Toxic Plate]] or [[Poisonium Z]].

Poison-type Pokémon are also immune to becoming poisoned from the Abilities {{a|Poison Point}}, {{a|Poison Touch}}, {{a|Synchronize}}, or {{a|Effect Spore}}.

==In the TCG==
:''See also: [[Grass (TCG)]], [[Psychic (TCG)]] or [[Darkness (TCG)]]''

Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Poison-type Pokémon have been listed as three different types. They were listed as {{ct|Grass}} Pokémon prior to the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} set and as {{ct|Psychic}} Pokémon from Diamond & Pearl to {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}. Starting with {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}, they are now listed as {{ct|Darkness}}.

Poison-type Pokémon in the TCG were generally weak to Psychic prior to Sword & Shield, as Grass or Psychic types, and are now weak to {{TCG|Fighting}}. They have no resistances. As Grass types, they were strong against some Fighting Pokémon prior to Diamond & Pearl; from Diamond and Pearl to Cosmic Eclipse, they were changed to the Psychic type, and were strong against most Fighting and Psychic types; and from Sword and Shield onward they are Darkness type, and are strong against most Psychic types. They can be resisted by Darkness from Diamond and Pearl to Cosmic Eclipse, as well as {{TCG|Metal}} until Sword and Shield.

==Trivia==
* [[Generation I]] introduced the most Poison-type Pokémon of any generation, with 33, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Poison-type Pokémon, with two.
* Generation I had more Poison-type Pokémon (33) than Water-type Pokémon (32), and it was the only generation where Poison is the most common type.
* Generation I introduced the most Poison-type moves of any generation, with eight, and Generation II introduced the fewest Poison-type moves, with only {{m|Sludge Bomb|one}}.
* In Generation I, Poison-type moves are [[super effective]] against {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, while Bug-type moves are super effective against Poison-type Pokémon. This is the only case in which a pair of distinct types is super effective against each other.
* A Pokémon of every type except Poison was added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] in {{game|Platinum}}.
* The Poison type is the only one of the original 15 types not mentioned in the song [[2.B.A. Master]]. Instead, the "Flame type" (which does not exist) is mentioned.
* All types that are super effective against the {{t|Dark}} type are resisted by the Poison type.
* The Poison type is the type that has been represented by the most types in the TCG, with three.
* Only odd-numbered [[generation]]s introduced pure Poison-type Pokémon.
** [[Generation IX]] is the first one to break this chain, not adding any pure Poison-type Pokémon.
* The Poison type is one of the only two types, the other being {{t|Fairy}}, to not have any moves that cause [[flinch]]ing.
** However, the [[King's Rock]] and [[Razor Fang]], as well as the [[Ability]] {{a|Stench}} from [[Generation V]] onwards, may make any of them able to cause flinching.
* The Poison type is tied with the {{t|Steel}} type for being the most common type among [[Ultra Beasts]], with three Ultra Beasts being Poison- or Steel-type each.
* Poison and {{t|Flying}} are the only types to have at least one Pokémon in every [[Egg Group]] (not counting the {{egg3|Ditto}}).
* The Poison type has been paired up with every other type except for {{t|Ice}}.

Flying (type)

{{Types}}
The '''Flying type''' (Japanese: '''ひこうタイプ''' ''Flying type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Flying-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, and {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Flying-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Electric}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} moves.

===Additional effects===
From [[Generation II]] onwards, Flying-type Pokémon are not considered [[grounded]] for effects that affect grounded Pokémon (e.g. [[entry hazard]]s). This makes Flying-type Pokémon immune to the [[Ability]] {{a|Arena Trap}}, the [[move]] {{m|Rototiller}}, and all entry hazards (except {{m|Stealth Rock}}), but also from the benefits of [[terrain]]s (though they can still use Seeds). If Flying-type Pokémon lose their ungrounded status by methods like holding [[Iron Ball]] or being under the effect of moves such as {{m|Ingrain}} ([[Generation IV]] onward), {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Smack Down}} or {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, they also lose their immunity to Ground-type Pokémon in addition to those benefitted from being ungrounded. Holding [[Ring Target]] makes them lose their type immunity to {{t|Ground}} type moves, but keeps ungrounded status for other effects.

When a Flying-type uses the move {{m|Roost}}, introduced in [[Generation IV]], it temporarily loses its Flying type for a turn. If a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a {{t|???}} type in Generation IV and a {{t|Normal}} type in [[Generation V]] onward.

The move {{m|Sky Drop}}, introduced in [[Generation V]], allows the user to pick up a Flying-type Pokémon and make it unable to move. However, on the next turn, Sky Drop will fail and free the target, even if the target is grounded.

The effectiveness of the move {{m|Flying Press}}, introduced in [[Generation VI]], is calculated by multiplying the effectiveness of its move type (usually {{t|Fighting}}) and the Flying type.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Flying-type Pokémon|pages}} Flying-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Flying-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Flying-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]]), making it the 4th most common type after {{t|Grass}} and before {{t|Psychic}}. All other types have been paired up with Flying at least once — in [[Generation VI]], after the release of {{p|Hawlucha}}, Flying became the first type to have this trait.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 31 Flying-type [[move]]s, which makes up 3.32% of all moves (excluding those that are Flying-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Dragon}} as the second rarest type among moves, with {{t|Rock}} as the rarest.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Flying-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

{{DL||Changed types|Some moves}} have had their types changed.

===Interacting with the Flying type===
A Pokémon with {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} will become a Flying-type Pokémon if it uses a Flying-type move. A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Multitype}} will become a Flying-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Flying-type move, is sent out against a Flying-type opponent, is holding a [[Flying Memory]], or is holding a [[Sky Plate]] or [[Flyinium Z]].

==Trivia==
* [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|V}} introduced the most Flying-type Pokémon of any other generation, each with 19 (including {{p|Rotom}}'s Fan form in Generation V). [[Generation VIII]] introduced the fewest Flying-type Pokémon, with five.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Flying-type moves of any other generation, with seven. [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest Flying-type moves, with only one.
** [[Generation IX]] is the only generation to not introduce a Flying-type move.
* With the introduction of {{p|Hawlucha}} and with {{p|Togetic}} and {{p|Togekiss}} having the newly introduced {{t|Fairy}} type replacing their previous {{t|Normal}} in [[Generation VI]], Flying became the first type to be paired with every other type officially.
* Flying-type Pokémon, on average, have the highest {{stat|Speed}} of all Pokémon. 
* Flying was the last type to receive:
** A single-type Pokémon, receiving one with {{p|Tornadus}} in Generation V.
** A dual-type Pokémon with its type as the primary one, receiving two with {{p|Noibat}} and {{p|Noivern}} in Generation VI.
* All Flying-type moves are eligible to be used in [[Sky Battle]]s.
* Flying and {{t|Ground}} are tied with having the fewest notable [[type expert]]s, at only five each.
* Flying and {{t|Poison}} are the only types to have at least one Pokémon in every [[Egg Group]] (not counting the {{egg3|Ditto}}).
* The only Flying-type Pokémon to be part of an evolution line with a [[split evolution]] are {{p|Scyther}}, {{p|Beautifly}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, and {{p|Mothim}}; all four Pokémon are the only Flying-type Pokémon in their evolution lines.
* No Pokémon that are part of an evolution line have a final form that is pure Flying-type.

MAGNEDETH:

{{types}}
The '''Fighting type''' (Japanese: '''かくとうタイプ''' ''Fighting type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Fighting-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Dark}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Fighting-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Flying}}-, {{t|Fairy}}-, and {{type|Psychic}} moves.

===Additional effects===
If the user has the [[Ability]] {{a|Scrappy}} or {{a|Mind's Eye}}, or the target is under the effect of the [[move]]s {{m|Foresight}} or {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, Fighting-type moves will deal ×1 damage to {{type|Ghost}} Pokemon.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation IX]], {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Fighting-type Pokémon|pages}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Fighting-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon are Fighting-type (counting those that are Fighting-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[regional form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Dark}} as the 9th rarest [[type]] among Pokémon after {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}} and before {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. All other types have been paired up with Fighting at least once.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Fighting (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Fighting generally adopts all {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon under its typing.

Fighting-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Psychic}} with no resistances. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against {{TCG|Colorless}}, {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon, whilst some {{TCG|Colorless}} and {{TCG|Psychic}} Pokémon can resist the Fighting type.

==Trivia==
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Fighting-type Pokémon of any [[generation]], with 16 (including Meloetta's Pirouette Forme), and [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest, with three.
* [[Generation I|Generations I]], II, and {{gen|IV}} introduced the most Fighting-type moves of any Generation, with eight, and [[Generation VII]] introduced the fewest, with only one: {{m|All-Out Pummeling}}.
* Fighting has been paired up with every other type at least once.
** The Fighting type was the last type to receive a Pokémon with {{t|Flying}} as the other type, only receiving one with {{p|Hawlucha}} in [[Generation VI]].
* All Fighting-type moves that do damage only target one foe, and all [[physical move|physical]] Fighting-type moves make [[contact]] except for one, {{m|Meteor Assault}}.
* There has been at least one Fighting-type [[type expert|specialist]] in every [[region]] and [[generation]]. It shares this trait with the {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Ice}} types, although Ice-type trainer [[Sina]] is not native to the [[Alola]] region where she can be battled.
** [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]] is the only [[core series]] game not to feature a notable Fighting-type specialist, as [[Bea]] is exclusive to Pokémon Sword, and replaced in Shield with [[Allister]].
* Color representations for the Fighting type have generally been inconsistent in various Pokémon media. While the Fighting type has been associated with the color red in the main Pokémon games since [[Generation III]] and up to {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, it is associated with orange in the {{g|Stadium series}}, the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], [[Pokémon Masters EX]], and the main Pokémon games since {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. It is also associated with the color brown in the {{g|Trading Card Game}}.
* The Fighting type is the most common secondary type for evolutions of [[starter Pokémon]], with six starter lines being paired with it, three of them being {{type|Fire}}.
* The Fighting type could be considered a physical counterpart to the {{t|Psychic}} type:
** The highest average stat among all Fighting-type Pokémon is {{stat|Attack}}, while for Psychic-type Pokémon, it is {{stat|Special Attack}}.
** While the Fighting type is the only formerly physical type to not have any old moves changed into special moves, the Psychic type is the only formerly special type to not have any old moves changed into physical moves.
** {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}, moves countering physical and special attacks are, respectively, Fighting- and Psychic-type moves.
** {{m|Bulk Up}} and {{m|Calm Mind}}, moves raising physical and special stats are, respectively, Fighting- and Psychic-type moves.
** The [[Cram-o-matic]] considers [[Choice Band]] and [[Muscle Band]] Fighting-type inputs, and [[Choice Specs]] and [[Wise Glasses]] Psychic-type inputs.
* The Fighting type is tied with the {{t|Ground}} type for being super effective against the most amount of types, with five.
* The Fighting type is the only type that deals super effective damage against the {{t|Normal}} type.
* On average, Fighting-type Pokémon have the highest physical {{stat|Attack}} of all types. 
* The Fighting and {{t|Bug}} types are the only two separate types that resist each other.
* Every Fighting-type [[Gym Leader]] and [[Elite Four]] member, along with [[Eri]] from [[Team Star]] uses a {{p|Machamp}} or {{p|Lucario}} or in at least one of their teams. 

* The Fighting type is the most common type for [[Paradox Pokémon]] to have, with five Paradox Pokémon being Fighting-type.
