::Well, I guess that Iceland ''is'' warmer than any other place that has a similar latitude. However, I still think Arcticuno fits for representing Iceland since it is near the Arctic Circle.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 22:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
==Ireland==
[[Image:Mew Harp.JPG|thumb|right|It's not a Pokémon, but.......]]
Um, though this may be stupid, I saw that Ireland's Coat of Arms has a harp on it. Though it's not an animal, how about the Mew Harp Picture??? Though, I do think that Shaymin idea is very clever, since leprechauns are from Ireland, and they are green and sharp. Nice Idea, Pokencyclopedia! --[[Image:Spr 3e 059.gif|70px]][[Image:Spr 3e 132.gif]]'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Mission Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Sandbox|2]]''' [[Image:Trozeiani025.gif]] 22:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

==North & South Korea==
What are we going to do with these countries? One idea that I had was going for symbols to represent Korea being divided between Communism and Capitalism, but the problem with that would be coming up with a Pokémon that can represent capitalism (we already have Grumpig for {{template|User Communist}}). At the moment, I picked Laturn to represent North Korea because the North Korea Coat of Arms has a hydroelectric plant on it. The South Korean Coat of arms has a [[wp:taeguk|taeguk]] symbol and five stylized petals of a [[wp:Hibiscus syriacus|Hibiscus syriacus]]. Anyone else have any good ideas?--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 12:15, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

:Do we need a template for North Korea? Only one person has a computer there, his name is Kim Il-Sung and he isn't a member here. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

::Is this true? Why do only one person there owns a computer? [[Image:Ani282MS.gif|32px]]'''[[User:Netto-kun|Netto-kun]]''' [[User talk:Netto-kun|Talk]][[Image:Ani445MS.gif|32px]] 12:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

:::You didn't get the joke, right? [[wp:Kim Il-Sung|Kim Il-Sung]] is North Korea's ruler. He doesn't even allow North Koreans to have computers. They are not only too poor for that, but they're also forbidden from many things (do you think there are shops in North Korea, if yes, then you are wrong). It's because [[wp:North Korea|North Korea]] is [[wp:Juche|so fuckin' totalitarian country]].

Fine, I got rid of the one for North Korea. Now what Pokémon can we use to represent Korea as a whole?--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 20:41, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
::::Actually, Kim Jong-Il is the leader, Il-Sung's still their technical leader even though he's DEAD because that country is so screwed up. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 23:35, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

==Poland==

What does Poland have to do with Togekiss?

And why is Transylvania listed, it's not a country. It's a part of Romania. And I don't see a template for Romania. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:29, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

:Well, I was quite shocked with that Togekiss - I also think that Togekiss is not so appropriate; Whatsmore, Polish flag's official colors are not pure "white and red", but #E9E8E7 and #D4213D, respectively. [[User:Piotr mil|Piotr mil]] 20:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

== ...And no tag for Cuba either? ==

Before I considered doing a tag for Cuba, I looked it up on Wikipedia and it stated that the Cuban government "represses free expression by limiting access to the Internet." How limited is this? Is Cuba's national legislature the only people that own computers?--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 22:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

:Yea, I tried thinking about one for Cuba a few days ago....and the flag and Coat of Arms have no animals on them. --[[Image:Spr 3e 059.gif|70px]][[Image:Spr 3e 132.gif]]'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Mission Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Sandbox|2]]''' [[Image:Trozeiani025.gif]] 14:44, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

== Natu for New Zealand ==

I used Natu to represtent New Zealand, since it looks a little bit like a kiwi, the national icon of New Zealand. If anybody can think of a more appropriate Pokémon to represent New Zealand, feel free to change it. [[User:Bardock|3190]] 02:58, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, before I saw this Natu on NZ thing, I had Shellder. My Dad says that NZ has the best oysters, and so I put Shellder. But I don't want to change it.--[[User:Pokelova|Pokelova]] 20:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

:Shellder sounds good, although I think New Zealand's more famous for its exotic bird life than for its seafood. Doduo's [[Doduo (Pokémon)#Origin|Origin section]] mentions a couple of native New Zealand birds, so we could change it to that. How many other New Zealanders are on this wiki? [[User:Bardock|Bar]][[User_Talk:Bardock|dock]] 10:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
::Not many. 6 maybe--[[User:Pokelova|''Poke'']][[User talk:Pokelova|<big>lova</big>]] 19:19, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:::Well, Digimon have [http://wikimon.net/Kiwimon Kiwimon], so maybe one day there'll be a kiwi based Pokémon... In the mean time, shall we change to [[Shellder (Pokémon)|Shellder]] or [[Doduo (Pokémon)|Doduo]], or just keep Natu? [[User:Bardock|Bar]][[User_Talk:Bardock|dock]] 11:25, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

== Bhutan and India ==

Bhutan should be represented by a Dragon-type Pokémon like Dragonite instead of the Ampharos (if there are any {{wp|Takin}}-like Pokémon there then they should represent Bhutan). Also, India should be represented by a {{wp|Tiger}}-like Pokémon.[[User:Maria-williams|■ '''m'''aria-]][[user talk:Maria-williams|'''w'''illiams ■]] 11:30, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

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.

== Ah ==

Get you now. But no, I DON'T think that [[Daisy]] should refer solely to anime's Daisy. Because the game's Daisy is a VERY notable character and when I mean "Daisy" I usually mean HER, not Misty's Sister. It's not the case with [[Samuel]] because NO ONE THE HELL refers to Oak as "Samuel". So, I think you did wrong. [[Daisy]] should be a disambig! --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:48, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

::Fuck Consistency. Pages should be titled so that people can find them! We don't have disambigs for only very minor characters, Daisy Oak is NOT one of them (Oak is a different case - there's no disambig for him because no one refers to him by his first name). I hate the "If we have X, then why not Y" logic. It DOES NOT WORK on Pedias! --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:55, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
:::If people were searching for Blue's sister, they would type [[Daisy Oak]] not just Daisy. Plain "Daisy" refers to Misty's sister. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 18:56, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
::::No, it doesn't. Not always. People who play games and read the manga but don't care about the anime will always mean Blue's sister when referring to Daisy. She meets all the criteria for the disambig! If she was... some very minor character from spin-off game or some cameo character, then the "If you were looking" notice would be enough. But Daisy Oak IS AN IMPORTANT CHARACTERS, so she deserves a disambig. Stop moving pages (not to mention improperly) just because you think that some character is more important than other. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:00, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Even if no one followed the anime, they would still know there is a "Daisy" who is not Gary's sister, since she is related to a main character.

::::::Oh, so referring to Daisy Oak by just her first name is called "ignorance"? Honestly, I think that Games > Manga > Anime (and many people think so), so in my opinion Daisy Oak is a more important character. Misty's sister Daisy is just a terrible anime-made character. But still, I think that BOTH Daisy's are important enough to have a disambig. Surnamed or not, consistent or not, this disambig is supposed to be LEFT OUT! --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:10, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I only play the games. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 19:12, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

The anime should come second, if not first since that's what made {{p|Pikachu}} as the freaking mascot for the entire franchise. But still I don't think Daisy Oak should get a disambig for jut her first name IMO. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 19:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
:Just because you think that she is not an important character does not mean that she really isn't one. My solution (leave the disambig alone) is the best option because it DOES NOT supreme any of the characters. Your solution does supreme anime's Daisy who is NOT any more important than game's Daisy at all. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
::This isn't about importance. Its that only some people refer to Daisy Oak as "Daisy" and not have any idea as to who Misty's sister is. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 19:21, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Mewtwo hears mew 1:50 - 2 min in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2Dr2EnfBMk

DP090 After 6:40 to 6:42 into the clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v8byekn0Xk

Also i don't see proof on the others, is this how you people get your kicks? someone tries to add something new so you gotta debunk it without attempting the debunking of the other stuff. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 06:13, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Its Mews (the cat sound) high pitched mews, pretty clear its mew's cries. if its weather or not the sounds belongs to mew that is under fire then just alter it to say it was sounds that mewtwo heard in his little test tube.

don't delete the whole thing.[[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 06:21, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

It seems that i just can't win. everyone nitpicks, gangs up and destroy everything i try to put on this site. its like no one even cares about proof until i come along. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 06:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Pokémon controversies

Maria-williams: /* In the TCG */

<center> '''This article is, like all other Bulbapedia articles, fact-based. No images on this page are intended to be offensive; they are here for informative purposes only. Understanding of this by the reader is greatly appreciated.''' </center>
----

There have been numerous '''controversies''' over events, images, names, and other themes stemming from [[Pokémon]]. This is likely due to the game's extreme popularity eliciting a backlash from some members of society.

==Imagery, religion, etc.==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
[[image:106 T KOGASNINJATRICK.jpg|200px|right|frame|Koga's Ninja Trick, Japanese version]]
====In the TCG====
Members of the Jewish community accused [[Nintendo]] of using an offensive image in the Japanese version of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}}. The image in question, pictured at right, features an omote manji, a left-facing version of the {{wp|swastika}}.

While in the Western world, the image of the swastika in any form brings to mind the {{wp|fascist}} and {{wp|racist}} policies carried out by {{wp|Nazi Germany}} during the course of {{wp|World War II}}, the swastika's origin was in ancient times. It is used as a symbol of peace and good luck by many cultures, including that of {{wp|Hinduism}}, where the left-facing swastika represents, perhaps a bit ironically, love and mercy.

====In the games====
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. While in Japanese and North American releases, Registeel's arm is extended, this was altered due to its similarity to the {{wp|Hitler salute}}. In all versions of {{game|Platinum}}, the sprite takes on its European form.

{{-}}

===Satanism===
Some fundamentalist Christian groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to Satanism. The following is a summarized and possibly incomplete list of their reasons for this accusation:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.
*Magical talismans (supposedly a reference to [[Gym Badge]]s) are needed to control them.
*Pokémon [[evolution|evolve]]. Though this transformation is more akin to metamorphosis in most Pokémon, the theory of evolution is denied entirely by the most fundamentalist creationists, who believe that all things as they are presently were divinely inspired.
**Some Pokémon evolution even requires the use of certain magical [[evolutionary stones|stones]].
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type2|Psychic}}s. Those with Psychic powers are labeled as having been given these powers by Satan in the Bible itself.
*Many Pokémon embody or practice East Asian spiritual or mystical concepts, being that the franchise originated in Japan. Many right-wing groups denounce these as pagan rituals.
*Some claim that if one were to {{wp|backmasking|play backwards}} the [[Pokérap]], "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]" can be heard as "I love Satan".

===Jewish plot===
Some outspoken, fundamentalist Muslims claim that Pokémon is a Jewish conspiracy that is intended to brainwash Islamic children to make them renounce their faith. These same groups claim that the word "Pokeman" is a Japanese phrase that means "I am Jewish". This is completely false.

===Racism===
{{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, a cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}}, which had recently appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in ''{{wp|Little Black Sambo}}'', and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragonball}} franchise, a character whose design is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in Pokémon. The sprites of Jynx in the international release of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were changed, and [[EP250]] was cut from international airings of the anime. A Jynx that appeared in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly]]'' was also cut from the dub.

Jynx's design was officially changed by Nintendo to being purple, rather than black, and this change was reflected in later games (beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}) and the anime (starting in ''[[AG115|Mean with Envy]]'').

In recent years, some fans of Pokémon with knowledge of Japanese culture have noted that Jynx is more likely inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where girls tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. Most people who support this theory base it on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion.

</gallery>

==Lawsuits==
Various lawsuits have been filed against Nintendo and Game Freak regarding Pokémon or Pokémon characters.

===Uri Geller===
In November 2000, {{wp|Uri Geller}}, the biggest douche in the universe, tried to sue Nintendo for $100 million US, claiming that {{p|Kadabra}}, known as ''Yungerer'' in Japan, was an unauthorized parody of himself. Besides Kadabra's use of bent spoons to enhance its {{t|Psychic}} powers, the {{wp|katakana}} for its name, ユンゲラー, is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー).

He also claimed that Kadabra was {{wp|anti-Semitic}} in nature, with the star on its forehead and lightning bolts resembling the logo of the Nazi {{wp|Schutzstaffel|SS}}. He is quoted as saying: "''Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image.''"

The lawsuit was thrown out of court. Despite this, there has not been a Kadabra card in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} since {{TCG|Skyridge}} in 2003, perhaps as a precaution against Geller's history of lawsuits.

===Gambling===
A parents' group attempted to sue manufacturers of collectible cards, including Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast, claiming that the cards' collectible nature and the random distribution of the cards in packs constitutes illegal gambling.

==="Pokémon Kills"===
In 1999, as a promotion for ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{wp|Burger King}} released a [[1999 Burger King Promotional toys|series of promotional toys]] in handheld [[Poké Ball]]s with their Kids' Meals. After their son suffocated because he had covered his mouth and nose with half of the Poké Ball, two parents set up a website named "Pokémon Kills".

In response to this, Burger King recalled the Poké Balls and exchanged them for food for a limited amount of time.

===Violence===
Although [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] and [[TAJ Productions|TAJ]] allow for some cartoon violence in the anime, some episodes contain scenes that were dubbed as "too violent" and cut from the English broadcast.
*''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'': [[Misty]] slaps {{Ash}} after he tells her that he's okay, presumably because of his apparent lack of care for {{AP|Pikachu}}.
*''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'': Misty hits [[Brock]] with a log because he says "to be continued..." rather than beginning the episode.
*''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'': A {{p|Carvanha}} hits Ash in the back of the head.
Scenes like these are common in Japanese animation, and are a source of comic relief, much like characters in {{wp|Looney Tunes}} who are hit by heavy objects are completely fine afterward.

Maria-williams: /* Swastika */ new section

Should probably be merged with lawsuits. Under a new title. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 20:53, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Good plan. Wonder why I didn't think that in the first place. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 20:59, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==The Swastika==

Arty, the a Swastika-like symbol is in fact good luck in numerous cultures, notably some Native American ones.

Okay, but I think keeping the extrnal links would enlight some people that want more proof :)

I really need someone to get in here and change it to 'manji', which is what the symbol on the card really is. I still haven't figured out the hang of external links.

''manji'' is merely the Japanese name for what is ultimately an Indian symbol, otherwise known as Swastika in English. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 12:58, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Really? Because what I saw is that the Manji goes the other way.

The term "swastika"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika] can describe the symbol either way it goes. [[User:Sheep|Sheep]] 19:52, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The term swastika cannot describe the symbol going either way. read the original article and you will understand. they are both different symbols. the nazi's intentionally derived the swastika from the manji.

Wikipedia says: ''Manji (卍) is the Japanese word for swastika.'' and ''The word swastika is derived from the Sanskrit'' svastika'', meaning any lucky or auspicious object, and in particular a mark made on persons and things to denote good luck.'' The two words are one in the same. To say otherwise would be the equivalent of saying ''neko'' and ''cat'' are two different things. However, I have read there and elsewhere that ''manji'' is used ''only'' for the swastika in the context of Buddhist art and scripture. So, we have a dilemma. Is ''manji'' acceptable given the context of the card? --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 22:51, 28 August 2005 (CDT)

We have a double context here - it's a swastika from the POV of the complainers, and it's a manji from the POV of the artist. The reason why both POVs are correct: they're the same damn thing at heart! Just different connotations.

Now, why don't we avoid all this ridiculous controversy and call it [[wp:Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars_ever#Names|''that damned symbol which appears to be a cross with its arms bent clockwise which invokes memories of facism and racism in the West and Buddhism in the East'']] - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:23, 29 August 2005 (CDT)

==Flying Kids==

I happen to remember a story a while ago about children ins some far-flung country imitating Pokémon by jumping off of buildings and attempting to fly (Like a Pidgey I think it was) If anyone else remembers this story, can you link to somewhere documenting it? Thanks. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 11:02, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think that was made up like the Superman story back in the 50s.

==Jynx==

I read a largish essay on a website once that explained that Jynx was actually unintentionally racist, due to how the Japanese culture is. Anyone know where I can find it? I'ld like to expand on this section a little. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 11:07, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

:I don't think you can be unintentionally racist. - [[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 15:18, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

I think you speak of this article, Ferret: http://www.bulbagarden.net/~dogasu/bashing/racist_jynx_01.html
- Zeta

Am I the only one who just plain doesn't see the resemblance? I seem to recall a Nordic story about a witch who stayed out in the snow so long she turned black from the cold...--BJG

Yeah that's the article Zeta. Thank you. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 02:21, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

>The vauge legend about the ice princess who turned black is addressed in the article on Dogasu's Site - IE, no one can find solid proof of it. And it seems likely that someone just fabricated it to explain Jynx in an inoffensive manner. - Zeta

No, I'd heard it. I'd have to look it up. But I don't think she was a princess, though, which may be what throws people off--BJG

I think the [[wp:Hel (being)|Hela]] argument is the best one, considering its Japanese name ends in "ela", which I don't think many people spotted. [[User:Flicky|Fli]][[User talk:Flicky|cky]][[User:Flicky/Latin|1991]] 19:36, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
:Searching around the Japanese Wikipedia implies that they only call her Hel (ヘル) (in Japan), though.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 21:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

==Saudi Arabia==

It should be noted in the article that Pokémon is completely banned in Saudi Arabia. I would avoid placing the mention in the "Jewish Plot" area since that is not (to my knowledge) the justification given by the Saudi government.

== About the controversy section... ==

Ok, I just wanted to mention that something about this section seems... off, Could someone mention the part of sexism in the anime? I feel that this should be mentioned because i noticed quite a bit of it, especially in AG and DP in how the main girls act. In fact even in the first season there were slight traces of sexism (Though not in the main female) in the series, one infamous example is Beauty and the Beach, but another, little-known example is in [[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]] when they had almost every single girl (with the sole exceptions of Misty and Jessie) in the store (and even the contest hall) squealing like animals at least twice, and at most three times (one of which had Ash, Brock, Pikachu, James, And Meowth being trampled by those... Airheads like Mufasa with the wildebeest stampede). I know this one is an awful sexist stereotype because a relative of mine commented on it being awful and disliking it when she saw it, heck, at least 2 of my classes in my school agreed with me when i brought it up as part of a project. so, with your permission, i'd like to add these tidbits into the article.
:This is more about controversy from outside voices than controversies that only arise within the fandom. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 17:02, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
umm... my relative IS an outside voice, and possibly some of my classmates who aren't exactly part of the forums.
~~Weedle_McHairybug~~

...Or were you meaning that we can only cite controversies that are within the fandom? because if that's what you were meaning, then most of these things REALLY have to go. Take the Jynx thing, that technically wasn't an "in-fandom" controversy (at least, not to the same extent that the VA Change or even Misty being removed from the main cast was), and yet that one is counted as a controversy. Same deal with the satanism controversy, the Uri Geller fine, the swastika/manji controversy, "Pokemon Kills", Pokemon TCG = Gambling, or the Jewish Plot = Pokemon Controversy. and anyways, it is also a controversy within the fanbase since I also have at least one person on serebiiforums and a few others who agree with me, or at the very least understand where I am coming from. So this is the rationale as to why I think it should be implemented.

~~Weedle_Mchairybug~~
:No, he means controversies outside of the fandom. Controversies inside the fandom are usually on the articles' pages, this stuff's about people who likely never played a Pokémon game and are just yelling about it being horrible because they're a bunch of not-our-generation people. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 21:06, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

well, now that i know that he was Indeed meaning that we should mention only non-fandom sources, I'll go back to my original statement of "umm... My relative, as I have said Before, IS outside of the fandom since she doesn't really play the Pokemon Games. So i figured that that should be sufficient enough for this to warrant a mention."

~~Weedle_Mchairybug~~

It's really only 4 or 5 people that aren't doing anything about it. Now, if they were setting up huge websites and getting around 50+ people supporting the cause, then it'd deserve a mention. [[User:Mumbles|Mumbles]] 20:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it's between 900 and 1000 people. I know because that's the number of people who signed my petition to bring... you-know-who back, and many of them (Probably a sixth of them) ALSO signed it because they wanted to eliminate this stereotype as well (The BMB petition also served as a anti-FAS petition). the majority of them were from high school, but 200 of them came from the AWA convention, about 80 of them were from my neighborhood, and I also got my family to sign it. I'd say that's enough evidence to upload them onto the controversy section (most of them either weren't Pokémon fans at all, or haven't been fans for a LONG time.)

== The gambling lawsuit ==

Is that still taking place? Or was it thrown out of court (crosses fingers)? Any news on it? I mean, WoTC hasn't been the producer of Pokémon TCG cards for, like, ''five years.''' --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 22:15, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
:Logically, two things would've happened: (1) the suit would be thrown out of court for being stupid, or (2) the lawsuit would eventually be against every single collectible card game ever. They still make CCGs and we haven't heard anything on the suit in a long, long time, so I'm thinking it got thrown out of court.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 22:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

== Swastika ==

In this article it is mentioned that the Swastika is associated with Buddhism. However, it is more associated with Hinduism than it is with Buddhism. Can an admin change it?--'''[[User:Maria-williams|Maria]][[User_talk:Maria-williams|♥♪♫δ]]'''[[Image:21pz6.jpg|50px]] 07:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Emily (EP100)

2009-01-12T13:24:40Z

Maria-williams:

[[Image:Emily.jpg|thumb|right|Emily]]
'''Emily''' (Japanese: '''エミリ''' ''Emily'') is a [[character of the day]] in the [[Pokémon anime]] who appeared in ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]''. Her Japanese voice actress is 雪乃五月 ''[[Satsuki Yukino]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Amy Birnbaum]].

Emily lived on [[Mandarin Island South]] with her {{p|Nidoran♀}}, Maria. While living on the island, she had an ongoing rivalry with [[Ralph]]. Both of them always competed with each other to see who had the best [[Pokémon]]. Somehow, they always ended up getting the same Pokémon until Emily obtained Maria and Ralph obtained his own {{p|Nidoran♂}}, Tony. Although the two humans couldn't stand each other, their Nidoran fell in love.

[[Misty]] thought that Ralph and Emily truly loved each other deep down, so she tried to get them together. However, all she ended up doing was driving a bigger rift between them. They only decided to stop hating each other when their Nidoran were kidnapped by [[Team Rocket]]. Emily and Ralph teamed up to stop Team Rocket and get their Pokémon back.

After saving their Nidoran and seeing how much they loved each other, Ralph and Emily decided to put aside their differences and let Tony and Maria see each other. The two Nidoran, happy with their owners' decisions, kissed and promptly [[evolve]]d into {{p|Nidorino}} and {{p|Nidorina}}.

Maria-williams: /* Thanks */

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], Maria-williams!

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:Editing|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.

Marble (DP059)

2009-01-12T13:04:45Z

Maria-williams:

[[Image:Marble.jpg|thumb|220px|Marble]]
'''Marble''' (Japanese: '''マーブル''' ''Marble'') is a young [[Officer Jenny]] who appeared in ''[[DP059|Luxray Vision!]]''. Her Japanese voice actress is 西村ちなみ ''[[Chinami Nishimura]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Meghan McCracken]].

She met {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and [[Brock]] in front of an old mansion. Suddenly, her {{p|Luxray}} [[move|attacked]] {{AP|Pikachu}}. After the {{pkmn|battle}} was over, she called the security guards, because she thought they group were the thieves ''The Bandit Beauties Three'' (Japanese: ''The Three Beauties'') that were trying to steal the [[List of key items in Generation IV#Old Charm|Old Charm]]. She explains that she - the best Officer Jenny student - was called by {{si|Matthew}} to protect the Old Charm from being stolen. Then, she tells that the Luxray she raised since it was a {{p|Luxio}} has a problem in learning {{m|Charge Beam}}. When the episode is ending, her Luxray finally learns Charge Beam, attacking [[Team Rocket]] along with Pikachu, making them blast off.

She often says "I was just going to say that!" or "Yeah! That's what I was going to say!" to cover up the fact she doesn't know something. When something bad happens, she complains "My career is over!".

Moldy Orange and TTEchinda are both getting on my nerves and harassing me, not to mention having conversation about me in a disrespectful and unadmin like way. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:PAK_Man#You_know Plus this here http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:TTEchidna#Moldy.2C_psychic_rider_andTakoto What does my religion or lack of have to do with anything.

:Oh, wow. Is this whole thing still going on? Listen. Everyone brought up their points politely to you, at first. ''You'' are the one who not only continued each discussion, but accused the other editors of "harassing" you over each point. [[User talk:Yami Takashi#Porygon/2/-Z's Body Types]] is one example. Both Porygon-Z and Moldy Orange stated the facts on the topic; we reference the games themselves for body type information, capitalize Pokémon properly, and so on. Your response was that you "don't care if it's a capital P", and to "stop bothering me". Trying to help out is all fine and dandy, but you've got to know when to listen to other people's opinions (or facts) when they present them.
:If you post anything on a wiki, anyone is allowed to contribute. This includes conversations; if you have to tell people that they "have no place in it", then perhaps you should be holding the conversation in a more... I dunno, private space. E-mail, instant message.
:Look. If you really believe that the users here are ganging up on you, trolling and flaming, then be mature about it. Don't reply to insulting comments, bring it up with another user if you must. If you believe a comment to be insulting, then don't dignify it with a response. Otherwise, when an argument is the end result, it's as much your fault as the other participants.
:Drop the topic(s), stop talking with the people you think are biased against you. A social "time out", so to speak. I'm trying to be a unbiased third-party here, but if you continue these discussions the way you have been, I don't think I can stay unbiased on the subject. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 22:44, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

== Signature related thing ==

I figured out that you are the signature-policy enforcer of Bulbapedia. This means you are one of the best at wiki-coding. I'm happy with my signature, but ''really'' need some help about my userpage. I want the "Things about me" section to have a [[Template:Firecolor|background]]. Also, it would be nice if I could change the background color of the table about my favorite Pokémon. Can it be done? One more thing.

:Wouldn't say I'm among the best here, but I've got a pretty good handle on coding...
:Alright, the "things about me" section already has a background, actually. However, the "" marks are cutting the coding off so it won't work. I'll fix that myself in a moment.
:The background on your favorite Pokémon should work the same; I'll set it up with a Fire-color background, it should be easy for you to see where to change the color once the coding's in place.
:As for the shiny Unown... I took a look around, and it actually doesn't seem like there ''is'' a sprite for the shiny Unown-C. There's an older sprite, however, but since the filename's different, you'd need to make the userbox from scratch to display it. Not sure if you'd want to do that. If we had a shiny Unown-C sprite uploaded, you would be able to display it simply by using 201C instead of just 201. Maybe TTE knows where we can find those missing sprites (or if they're already up, and hidden somewhere I can't find them). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 19:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

As a man who has been forming strategies for months and only recently "finalizing" [[User:SharKing/Wi-Fi Team|my team]], I commend your Pokémon collection.

One tip, though. On {{p2|Lucario|Auros}}, {{m|Flash Cannon}} is pretty much useless. It's only super-effective against {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ice}}, and {{m|Aura Sphere}} covers {{t2|Dark|that}} {{t2|Normal|and}} {{t2|Steel|more}}. I suggest {{m|Psychic}} or {{m|Dragon Pulse}}.

He keeps on insulting me. He's one of three users that make my life on here hell. Please, he constanlty makes these little digs at me. I asked if we could remove it and he siad he couldnt be bothered. Please, I know im not a frequent contributor and i do a lot of talking, but please dont allow him to keep making these nasty snidey comments. I really wanna help BP, so when he says stuff like change for the worst guy, it hurts. Also this is subjective, what I find offensive you might not, where do we set the line, I asked him nicely, I was very civil with it, I just asked to please have my name removed from a list, and he said he couldnt be bothered.

Please, it upsets me when people are making comments about me, and I cant even get rid of them, its bullying, it may not be 1 big insult like MOTHER FUCKER, but we learnt bullying psychology in school 2 weeks ago, and the bully breaks his attacks into smaller bits to go un noticed by authority, and thats what hes doing, cos he makes loads of these nasty comments to me, but others consider them small. But they build up, and it hurts inside.

Im not asking for heads to roll, or for him to be banned, I just would like permision to remove the comment, or have it removed by someone else, and for the staff to pay a bit more attention to what he does to me. --[[User:Guardian|Guardian]][[Special:Contributions/Guardian| of]][[User talk:Guardian| Earth]] |[[GSDS|SGMS 2010]]

:It's no big deal, I deleted it already. If you want to show off things you like, like Dragonbeast's page, then that's fine on your userpage, or maybe a "things I like" page (or even a 'secret things I like" page). Just no "sign here" pages, and remember that the three edits per day limit applies to ''all'' of your User: pages, not just your main one (e.g., if you edited your secret page twice, and your userpage three times, that would be five edits total.) --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 20:03, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

== Re:Unsigned ==

Can the [[Template:Unsigned|unsigned template]] somehow be edited to include the time in which the original comment was posted? This would greatly ease confusion associated with the given talk. [[User:Bulbapedian|Bulbapedian]] - [[User talk:Bulbapedian|Talk]] 17:26, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
:The problem with that is it could only be set up to automatically show the time when the unsigned template was added, you'd need to manually input the date if you were adding it yourself. I can possibly add an extra variable to the template though, for those people who have the time to check when the unsigned comment was added. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 16:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

How come you mark all of your edits as minor, even though some of them add tons of content to a page? [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 03:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

[[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 03:12, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:::I have mine set to automatically mark all my edits as minor; force of habit. I have trouble judging what constitutes a "major" edit, even if I do add a lot of info to a page.
:::The whole "minor edit" feature is grossly underused as it is, which is why I generally don't mess around with it too much. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 05:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:::::Most of the edits I generally make are minor ones; fixing grammar/spelling, re-coding, cleanup stuff. It's tough for me to remember to uncheck the box for the rare times I do make a "normal" edit. If the majority of my edits weren't minor cleanup, I'd simply turn off the "mark all edits as minor" option, and perhaps remember to mark smaller edits as minor more often. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 03:19, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

:::::::Well, that one's up to personal interpretation. I don't believe that talk page edits are ever major, being mere discussion on the article, never actually changes to the article (although I suppose others may view this differently).
:::::::And like I mentioned before, all my edits are, by default, set as minor, so once again, unless I'm actively remembering to un-mark before I save the page, talk page edits will be marked as minor. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 04:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

{{Indent}} Talk page edits may not change an article, but they do change the talk page. If you add a 500 character comment to a talk page, people will definitely see the talk page differently, and I don't think that something like that should be considered minor. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 16:35, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

No response? Why not? [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 15:46, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:Forgot this was here.
:My point still stands that a talk page edit's status is dependent on the viewpoint; I don't see talk page edits as contributions to the wiki, but discussion (yes, often discussion ''about'' contributions, but rarely actual contributions in and of themselves). If I were to decide that I only needed to watch major edits, then I wouldn't want to have to sift through lots of tiny minor ones; I also probably wouldn't want to sift through tons of user, user talk, and talk page edits, either. I assume the same of other editors as well, which is why I mark my edits as minor all the time, especially those to my own userspace, and talk page edits. (unless someone is actually talking with me, like here, then they generally don't ''need'' to see every edit I make.)
:...that is, of course, assuming that anyone does actually disable minor edits in their watchlist. I personally never do; vandals don't care about how big their edit was, and even tiny edits can be wrong, so I treat them all the same. It's just how I look at such things. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 23:51, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

::But the fact is, talk page edits that add a comment will change what someone would see on the talk page. That's one of the many reasons why I don't think they can be minor. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 00:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

:::Nearly all edits to anything will have an effect on the appearance of the article; by that logic, fixing a broken table code also wouldn't be considered minor, even though it is a tiny edit. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 00:53, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

::::Well, that's different. Something I consider minor is something such as changing "<nowiki>a [[Starly (Pokémon)|bird]] to [[Starly (Pokémon)|a bird]]</nowiki>", since it won't change what someone will see when they view the page. Adding a talk page comment will. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 00:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

:::::And on that subject, we merely have different opinions. I personally consider any edit that doesn't directly add new information to the wiki to be minor, and think that discussion edits count as minor for that reason.
:::::If there's a consensus otherwise, I can attempt to change my editing habit, perhaps. But as it is, I don't think many editors here really pay attention to the status of an edit, and a good number probably don't even know what the minor edit box even does. Which is why I generally don't bother with the subject (if we had half as many edits per day as Wikipedia, then I might be more inclined to use the feature). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 01:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

::::::Hmm...I've seen some disputes before over what can and can not be a minor edit. Maybe I should talk to TTE about making a policy on it. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 01:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

:::::::Yeh, go ahead. I personally don't think enough people here use the feature to warrant a policy on it.

Spear Key

Maria-williams:

[[Image:Spear key cube.jpg|The Spear Key as a cube|thumb]]
The '''Spear Key''' is a special artifact in the {{pkmn|anime}} that is currently under the possession of [[Team Galactic]]. Nothing is known about its origin or purpose.
[[Image:Spear key.jpg|The Spear Key in its activated form|thumb|left]]
In ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', [[Saturn]] and two Team Galactic Grunts head inside the [[Solaceon Ruins]]. In an inner chamber, they place the [[Splash Plate]], [[Draco Plate]] and [[Iron Plate]] into slots on the floor which releases the Spear Key in the form of a cube.

Later in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', Saturn and more grunts arrive at the site of the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]] so that the power of the meteorites activates the Spear Key.

In [[DP097]], the Spear Key is used by [[Jupiter]] to locate the [[Lustrous Orb]]. As the episode ends, the Spear Key, along with the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and Lustrous Orbs were seen attached to machines in Team Galactic's base.

[[Image:Dpseries.jpg|thumb|right|The [[TV Tokyo]] Poster]]
==Trivia==
[[Image:ThreePlates.png|thumb|left|Three plates release it...]]
* A picture on the [[TV Tokyo]] Pokémon website shows what is apparently the Spear Key inside what appears to be a portal to the [[Distortion World]], surrounded by the members of the [[lake trio]], indicating a possible plot point which may or may not involve {{an|Giratina}} and the twelfth movie.
* Its name is a very obvious reference to [[Spear Pillar]], indicating that the two share a connection.
* The three plates used refer to Dialga and Palkia; the Draco plate to both of them, the Splash plate to Palkia's other type, and the Iron plates to Dialga's other type.
** The fact that it required three [[plate]]s to release it from the Solaceon Ruins indicates its possible connection to {{p|Arceus}}, who uses the plates to change type.

[[Image:DPAS3.JPG|right]]
(Japanese: '''ハレタとシェイの物語''' ''The Tale of Hareta and Shaymin'') is a special chapter of the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga.

==Synopsis==
Our story begins with a reporter making a Special Program on the mysterious Pokémon Shaymin, in order to find out more, they come to speak with Professor Rowan. He says that not much about it is known other than it being known as the [[species|Gratitude Pokémon]]. As the reporter and her cameraman leave, the Professor wonders if those two have met it...

We join our heroes Hareta and Mitsumi as Hareta catches a wild Chingling with Mitsumi asks if he's done catching Pokémon so they can go to the next city. However Hareta says that there's more Pokémon to be found. He sees something move in a bunch of flowers and jumps from a cliff to a lower area to check it out, however the ground crumbles beneath him and he falls to the bottom. When Hareta comes to, he finds a strange Pokémon on his head, after using his [[Pokédex]], he finds out that it's Shaymin, the Gratitude Pokémon. He then asks Piplup what "Gratitude" is, however the Penguin Pokémon doesn't know either. Hareta then decides to help Shaymin by taking it back up to the ledge he broke when he jumped. Meanwhile, Mitsumi is climbing down the cliff to find Hareta, commenting on how much easier it would be if she had a Pokémon with {{m|Rock Climb}}. She briefly slips, falling slightly, but she's able to grab onto another rock to save herself. However this rock was a sleeping Graveler, who is unhappy to be woken up! Mitsumi flees from the enraged Pokémon the best she can. Eventually she finds Hareta, who saves her with Piplup's {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Hareta asks her what she was doing playing a dangerous game like that, to which she replies she wasn't playing anything. Before anything else can be said they hear a rumbling sound. More Graveler are coming to attack! Neither of them can handle this many, so Mitsumi jumps on top of Hareta to shield him from them, however before the Graveler can do anything, they are calmed by Shaymin. Mitsumi thanks Shaymin for saving them as Hareta asks her once again why she was playing with Graveler. She then explains that she was actually coming to see if he was ok after that fall. Hareta then talks about how despite how much trouble he causes for her, she's always thinking of him and helping him with lots of things, thanking her for everything. Mitsumi is surprised by this sudden gratitude and in reply thanks him for always saving her. Suddenly, flowers bloom all around as Hareta thanks Mitsumi again as Shaymin wanders off. Back at Rowan's lab, the Professor is watching the special report as it says that during their research, a mass amount of flowers suddenly bloomed in a forest. Rowan then says to himself that it must surely be Shaymin's doing, and that someone somewhere has displayed true gratitude from the bottom of their heart.

==Major events==
* Professor Rowan is interviewed as part of a special report on Shaymin.
* Hareta sights something down on a ledge, however when he goes to explore it breaks off and he falls to the bottom of a cliff with his Piplup and a Shaymin.
* While climbing down to find Hareta, Mitsumi accidentally wakes a moody Graveler.
* Hareta defeats the Graveler with Piplup.
* More Graveler attack and Mitsumi moves to sheild Hareta from them, however they are calmed by Shaymin.
* Hareta thanks Mitsumi for always being there for him as flowers suddenly bloom.
* Professor Rowan sees a mention of the mysterious flowers in the special report, leading him to state that it must be Shaymin's doing and that someone somewhere has displayed true gratitude from the bottom of their heart.

'''Kai Midorikawa''' (緑川開), nicknamed '''Green''' is based on [[Blue (game)|Blue]] from the original games. He is [[Isamu Akai|Red]]'s rival and takes Pokémon much more seriously, although has questionable ethics in attaining his goals. His surname contains the Japanese word for "green" ('''緑''' ''midori'').

==Trivia==
*The rules of [[evolution]] seem to be very different in [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]] manga. When Green's {{p|Charmander}} first evolved into {{p|Charizard}} temporarily, it omitted the {{p|Charmeleon}} form. Later, it evolved off-screen permanently and it's unknown if he ever was a Charmeleon. It is possible that he was able to omit the Charmeleon form again.

Maria-williams: /* Thanks */

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], Maria-williams!

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:Editing|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:Maria-williams/(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.
*All users are allowed to edit the userspace 3 times a day. If you edit more than 3 times, you may be subjected to a warning. If you ignore the warning, you will be given three chances to comply. If you do not comply, your ability to modify the userspace will be revoked for a period of time.
*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]].

== Link templates, é, categorization, etc. ==

four things,

#Please use link templates when linking to Pokémon, games, abilities and other stuff. For example, <nowiki>{{p|Unown}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Unown]]</nowiki>, or <nowiki>{{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]</nowiki>. These avoid redirects, disambigs, and super long links.
#é when spelling Pokémon or Poké Ball. This is accessed on the character palette below the editbox, by pressing alt+130 on a PC, or by pressing Option+e and then E again on a Mac.
#Please categorize all pages you create.
#Poké Ball, not Pokéball or Pokeball.

==Userspace edits==
Hello. It seems that you have made 3 edits to your userpage today. In case you didn't know, Bulbapedia has a {{bp|userspace policy}} that states that users are only allowed 3 edits to their userpage per day. Since you have reached that limit for today, please wait until tomorrow to make any more edits to your userpage. As a recommendation, you can also use the Preview button to allow you to see your page's progress without making too many edits.

== Abilities ==

Please don't add unconfirmed abilities to the anime Pokémon. {{u|Politoed666}} has started reverting the unconfirmed abilities unless they have been seen or commanded to by their trainers. So, don't add any more, even if they have one ability. Thank you. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 15:05, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

== Pokémon Pronunciations ==

Why did you change all of those? The ones I had put in were from an official Nintendo handbook. There are citations referring to it there. Are your pronunciations official? — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 02:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
:Hey. I'm still waiting for an explanation. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 15:28, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
::Don't guide yourself by a Nintendo handbook... they are often wrong. Take the ''Legendary Rotom'' for example. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 17:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
:::In that case, we don't have a good a good basis for how a Pokémon's name should be pronounced. People say names differently. Which way is correct? Can we consider pronunciations from games such as PBR correct? I've seen numerous pronunciations entered that I don't agree with, and many more that aren't even syllabic. Also, if the pronunciations from the handbook are incorrect, then I suppose they should be removed, but he left all the citations there. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 19:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
::::Is the anime the correct pronunciation?--[[User:David aipom|''デビッド Aipom '']] [[User talk:David aipom|(Speaks To Me):] 秘密の通信 ]] 19:39, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::In the case the name is the same as Japanese, then the Katakana must be considered. And no, sometimes the anime fails bad. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 20:03, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
::::::Should we just change pronunciations until we find one people agree on? Or maybe we should put multiple ones in. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 20:14, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

== Minisprite formats ==

It's preferred to use the PNG minisprites as opposed to the GIF ones. We once had a problem where static minisprites 400 and lower was GIF and 401 and above was PNG, but that problem has since been rectified so that now all minisprites, both still and animated, are available in PNG. I've went ahead and tweaked [[Template:Almiapkmn]] to reflect Bulbapedia's general PNG preference. Only the extension field vanished; the remainder of the paramaters are still intact. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:17, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

== Anime images ==

Just so you know, TTE wants us to get rid of all JPG and GIF anime screenshots and replace them with PNGs, so from now on, whenever you upload an anime image, upload it as a PNG instead of a JPG. [[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 21:20, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
:but all lowercase .jpgs can stay, right?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 21:21, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

== 105 image ==

Your image is bland, and the other image describes the episode better. The best screenshots focus on '''major characters''' (Rotom's other forms), depict the plot or major events of the episode. Please discuss before changing it, I have my reason. What's yours? {{Unsigned|Pikastorm}}

== Erma ==

Thou shall not moveth it back. We refer to the characters only by their names. So, [[Grandpa Myron]] becomes [[Myron]], [[Principal Lamont]] becomes [[Lamont]], [[Vladimir the Attacker]] becomes [[Vladimir]]. It's a RULE. There is no other Erma, so DO NOT move it back. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

== color coded [[High Touch!]] lyrics==

For the [[High Touch!]] page, I think the lyrics should be color coded so the reader knows which character is singing which part. I already started, but i want to now if its ok.

'''Pokémon Heroes''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|水|みず}}の{{tt|都|みやこ}}の{{tt|護神|まもりがみ}} ラティアスとラティオス''' ''Guardian Gods of the City of Water: Latias and Latios''; Official: '''The Guardians of Altomare''') is the fifth [[Pokémon anime|Pocket Monsters]] movie. It features {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.

It was released in Japan on July 13, 2002. Distributed on limited release by [[Miramax]], it opened in select American theaters on May 16, 2003. The VHS version was released on January 14, 2003.

==Film Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
Two agents of [[Team Rocket]], {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], are sent by [[Giovanni]] to the water-based city of [[Altomare]] to retrieve the [[Soul Dew]], said to contain the spirit of a {{p|Latios}}, a Legendary Pokémon. The main reason for obtaining it is to power a special machine called the Defense Mechanism of Altomare, or D.M.A. for short. Meanwhile, [[Ash Ketchum]] and his companions, {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Misty]], [[Brock]] and their Pokémon are visiting Altomare during their travels in the [[Johto]] [[region]]. Ash and Misty participate in a water chariot race through the city's canals, the Tour de Altomare. Ash, Misty and the champion [[Ross]] mostly lead the race, but the interference of two invisible Pokémon causes Ash to lose. Misty wins by an inch with her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} against Ross' {{p|Wailmer}}. Ross congratulates Misty by giving her and the others a tour across the city on his gondola, telling them the legend of the city's protectors, Latios and {{p|Latias}}.

Team Rocket are also in the city but are there on vacation, but upon seeing Annie and Oakley, they decide to stalk them. The two spies are actually tracking down {{an|Latias}}, who can shapeshift into a human girl. The two trap her with their {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Ariados}}, but the timing arrival of Ash and Pikachu allows Latias to escape with them, outrunning Annie and Oakley's Pokémon. Latias in return leads Ash to safety but she suddenly vanishes. Ash, Misty and Brock later visit the city's museum where they meet the curator, [[Lorenzo]] who explains the city's history, where an evil Pokémon Trainer tormented the civilians with his {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. But the original Latios brought water to the city, drowning the fossil Pokémon, leaving only their remains which are implanted into the museum's floor. Lorenzo shows the D.M.A. to the trio, but Ash spies a girl who looks remarkable similar, if not identical, to Latias in human form. Ash and Pikachu pursue the girl across the city, losing her, and then running into Latias, who leads them to her home hidden in the depths of the city - a beautiful garden.

However, {{an|Latios}} and the other girl, [[Bianca]] are hostile towards the intruders, until Lorenzo appears. Lorenzo is revealed to be Bianca's grandfather and calms everyone down. Latias reveals herself to Ash as a Pokémon and they, Pikachu and Latios play together. Lorenzo and Bianca finish the story about Altomare's history, explaining that the original Latios died when he saved the city, and left behind Latios and Latias. The Soul Dew contains his soul and is actually in that very garden, kept in a hidden pool. Lorenzo explains if it is removed, it could be used to destroy the city. Ash and Pikachu leave with Bianca, but that night, Annie and Oakley invade the garden, capturing Latios and the Soul Dew. Lorenzo and Bianca follow them to the museum where Oakley plans to use the D.M.A. to destroy the city. Latias finds Ash and alerts him of the situation. Ash, Pikachu and Latias head to the museum, escaping the city-wide lockdown but are nearly killed by the revived fossil Pokémon. Upon arriving at the museum, they find the D.M.A. out of control and Latios being used as its source, but in immense pain. Misty and Brock show up later to lend a hand as Latias uses her psychic powers to free her brother and stop the machine. However, the Soul Dew explodes and causes all the water to leave the city.

Heading outside, the group discover that a giant tidal wave is heading for the city. Latios and Latias race to stop it and use their combined psychic abilities to destroy it. However, Latios gives his life to save the city and dies after a brief farewell with Latias. Latios' soul becomes the new Soul Dew and is placed back in the garden. The next day, Ash, Misty and Brock are departing Altomare and say farewell to Lorenzo. On their way out, they spot Bianca or Latias in human form waving to them. Ash meets her at the dock where she hands him a drawing of himself and Pikachu, and then shocks both him and his friends by kissing him. Misty and Brock are left puzzled on who actually kissed Ash, Latias or Bianca. The group leave the city, Ash and Pikachu spying what looks like two Latios and Latias flying overhead.

Annie and Oakley, meanwhile, are later freed from the D.M.A. after being trapped in its control seat and sent to prison where it appears they are still scheming. Team Rocket's role was limited in this film, as they are in the next several films.

==Trivia==
[[Image:LandL-code.jpg‎|thumb|right|Russian alphabet on Oakley's computer]]
* This movie uses the same intro from Pokémon 4Ever before the movie begins
* In a similarity to ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]'', Jessie, James and Meowth land on a protruding object, and only when Wobbuffet comes out of its Poké Ball does it break and the four of them fall.
* Director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] looked to [[wp:Venice|Venice, Italy]] for inspiration when designing Alto Mare.
* In a throwback to ''[[The Power of One]]'', Annie and Oakley are reading about [[Lawrence III]] during the credits of the movie.
* Images of {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Celebi}} were hidden in the movie as a reference to the major Pokémon in the previous {{pkmn|movie}}s.
* This is the first movie to feature the death of a Pokémon.
* In the background of the cover there are a couple of gondolas in the water, the fact that nobody is in means that they must floating loosely around the city using the canals.
* This is the fourth [[Pokémon movie]] to air on Toon Disney. The first three were ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', and ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''.
* This is the first time that {{Ash}} had his belt taken off. When he and {{AP|Pikachu}} ride {{an|Latias}} to stop {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] follow them on foot. They are trapped by a gate, where Misty suggests he should take his Pokémon, then she holds his belt up.
*This movie makes a slight display of the infamous Pokémon, {{p|Porygon}} at the beginning of the film like the past 4 movies.
*The characters appearing on the right side of Oakley's computer screen while she is deciphering the code on the stone plates in the Latios and Latias' garden are actually {{wp|Russian alphabet}}.
*This is the first movie where Jessie, James and Meowth have no influence on the main plot (in fact, they don't interact with any of the main characters throughout the film).
*Ash continues his habit of ramming a barrier of object of sorts, ramming into the barrier than shields Latios, Pikachu and Latias assisting.
*This is the first movie where {{Ash}} and company do not meet [[Team Rocket]].

==Errors==
* In the scene before the movie where Brock tells how Ash got Pikachu, Ash is pictured fully clothed - in the [[EP001|episode]] in question, Ash was still in his pajamas. Also, Pikachu is pictured like he and Ash already were friends. In the episode however, Pikachu hated Ash at first, but in the end they become friends.

==Dub edits==
[[Image:Pokemon Movie 5 - Mizu no Miyako no Mamori Gami Ratiasu to Ratiosu_0034.jpg|thumb|right|Scene that did not appear in the English dub]]
The entire backstory of the movie was changed in the dub.
A segment of approximately two minutes, which told the story of the origin of the Soul Dew in Alto Mare's ancient history, was cut. This cut also removed the reference to the fact that many Latios and Latias came and went to and from Alto Mare frequently, causing some confusion to dub watchers when two Latios and a Latias appeared in the credits. This scene is very unique, because the animation in this scene was done in a storybook-like fashion, something that had never been before in the Pokémon anime and has not been repeated again so far.

Replacement backstory was added in the form of dialogue telling about an evil trainer who once attacked the people of the city with a Kabutops and Aerodactyl, until Latios brought water to the town, drowning the evil Pokémon and turning the streets to canals.

The dub also makes Annie and Oakley members of [[Team Rocket]], however in the original the two are working independently and no mention is made of a relationship between themselves and Team Rocket or [[Giovanni]].

Also, in the American DVD release of the movie, an intense blue tint was applied, making most of the colors much darker than in the original.

Latios does not keep its Japanese voice in the dubbed English version, and it sounds almost like Latias as a result.

The English dub of this episode mentions that an {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}} drowned. Though it's possible that Aerodactyl (a {{2t|Rock|Flying}} type) drowned, it is highly unlikely it would have drown the Kabutops (a {{2t|Rock|Water}} type). However, the Kabutops could have simply been crushed with water pressure, or it may need air to breath like whales and other aquatic or amphibious mammalian or reptilian species. Being {{type2|Rock}} could also have been a deciding factor in the water sealing its alleged doom.
