MasterFrostyShake: /* Articles for the live action actors */ new section

==wrong link==
The article links to the page of the wrong Paul Kitson, a retired british soccer player, on wikipedia. A page for the correct person does not seem to exist, possibly because it didn't meet their notability requirements(though as he has a role in a high-profile movie, he may now qualify.)
:So it does, though the table is constructed in such a way that it can't not link anywhere, unfortunatelly. Though, when/if they make that article on Wikipedia we can link it right, until then I'm afraid it has to stay this way, unless someone in the staff changes how the table works which I don't think will happen to be honest since that eould require a lot of clean up on other articles since that template is widely used. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 23:05, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

== Move to "Pokémon: Detective Pikachu" ==

The official title of this movie, as referenced by the trailers, IMDB info, etc, is ''Pokémon: Detective Pikachu''. Shouldn't the page be moved there? → [[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|SuperPikaPool13]] 15:03, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
:I'll note that the official trailers/site/etc. ''don't'' call it "Pokémon: Detective Pikachu", but "POKÉMON Detective Pikachu" instead. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 15:09, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
::It could be written as <code>Pokémon: Detective Pikachu (stylized as POKéMON: Detective Pikachu)</code> or maybe directly in uppercase letters. → [[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|SuperPikaPool13]] 15:35, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
:::I agree with this, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu is a much better title than Detective Pikachu (movie) since we've gotten an official title. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 03:59, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
::::Sorry to bump this really old discussion, but I '''agree''' that this move should be made. - [[User:Rustle|bthrussellUK]] ([[User Talk:Rustle|talk]]) 18:45, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
:::::Same here. I like {{U|SuperPikaPool13}}'s intro suggestion too. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:16, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
::::::I know this is a very old discussion, but given that this move hasn't been done for a long time already (which I question the long discussion about said page move), I would '''support''' a move to '''Pokémon Detective Pikachu'''. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 08:07, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

== Profanity trivia ==

I'll just say it flat-out. Trivia has a bunch of random interesting facts. Distribution rights changing hands is a random interesting fact. References to the anime is a random interesting fact. References to Smash is a random interesting fact. Pikachu's voice actor in Hungary is a random interesting fact. Ludicolo's voice actor is a random interesting fact. What makes the fact that this movie gets to be the first to drop the h-bomb not a random interesting fact? [[User:Infernape612|Infernape612]] ([[User talk:Infernape612|talk]]) 01:38, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
:It's just a word.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:18, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
::Just a word that would instantly get a film bumped up from G to PG or a video game from E to E10+. It's interesting and notable. [[User:Infernape612|Infernape612]] ([[User talk:Infernape612|talk]]) 04:49, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
:::So? It's making a big deal out of nothing, really.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:50, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
::::By that logic, all of the trivia could be erased. What makes them notable but not profanity? [[User:Infernape612|Infernape612]] ([[User talk:Infernape612|talk]]) 06:51, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

== Attempting to move article to "Pokémon: Detective Pikachu" ==
So I'm attempting to move this page as to change the name of it to whatever you guys want it to be, but have no way of moving it.

Can somebody help me move this to that page title or no? I'd like it to follow the suggested Pokémon Detective Pikachu name as much as possible, with no worries whatsoever. [[User:Pokemaniac196|Pokemaniac196]] ([[User talk:Pokemaniac196|talk]]) 18:02, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
: As it says, it's been suggested, not that we are going to move it. The article is protected so only staff members can move it pending the decision. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 07:45, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

== Ryan Reynolds page ==

Can I create a Bulbapedia page for Ryan Reynolds? I got like a good picture for him. [[User:NoobMaster96|NoobMaster96]] ([[User talk:NoobMaster96|talk]]) 20:49, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

== External links ==

Hi,
the main external links is dead and has been repurposed by someone else. can it be marked as dead link? [[User:Mike V|Mike V]] ([[User talk:Mike V|talk]]) 19:16, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
:I've replaced it with an archived link instead. However, it seems the archived version only includes the initial loading screen: the interactive elements of the site do not appear. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 20:00, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

== Move ==

The proposal to move this article to '''Pokémon Detective Pikachu''' has what appears to be unanimous support, with 2 support votes back when it was first proposed in 2019 and 3 additional support votes in 2020 and 2021, so I thought I'd circle back to this by saying I also support the move, barring any new information I'm missing that suggests we shouldn't. This brings the total number of support votes to 6, with 0 against. Please let me know your thoughts! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 06:04, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
:I think it's a fair move. It has the potential to make the links to this page easier to differentiate from the character and the game, and is in line with how we treat other broadcasts, like [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]] and [[Pokémon Generations]]. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 06:37, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
::Where should we move this page anyway? because from what i can tell there's at least 3 different spellings of the title:
::*The official press site calls it "'''POKÉMON Detective Pikachu'''".
::*A ton of third party websites like Wikipedia and IMDB call it "'''Pokémon: Detective Pikachu'''".
::*Google Play and Netflix call it "'''Pokémon Detective Pikachu'''" (without the colon).
::Should we capitalize "POKÉMON" or nah? And do we add the colon or nah? '''[[User:Anzasquiddles|{{color|4488FC|Anzasquiddles}}]]''' 2222(:D)SSSS ([[User talk:Anzasquiddles|talk]]) 08:13, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
::::I'm leaning towards '''Pokémon Detective Pikachu'''. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 04:20, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
:::::I'm suggesting '''Pokémon Detective Pikachu''' (Title case and no colon) as well. This will make it easier to work with all of BP's existing link templates. The intro line can say ''stylized as POKÉMON Detective Pikachu or Pokémon: Detective Pikachu''. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 02:25, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
::::::My philosophy for conflicting titles is that whatever is on the product should take priority for the article title, and any other titles can be listed as alternates. I'll note that I don't apply this same logic to the colon—the official logo has a line break, which can be converted to either a space or a colon when displayed in plaintext.
::::::So since the official logo (used on posters, art on streaming sites, DVDs, etc.) uses "Pokémon" rather than "POKÉMON", that would indicate we should be using the lowercase variant as the title. However, it also appears that [https://cover.box3.net/newsimg/dvdmov/max1565913575-frontback-cover.jpg the reverse of the DVD/Blu-ray cover] calls it "POKÉMON Detective Pikachu", which for me would usually be the definitive source-of-truth. Given the fact that the streaming services seem to use lowercase, I'm willing to defer to them (and the logo) in this case, and go for "Pokémon Detective Pikachu". (I cannot see much support for "Pokémon: Detective Pikachu" in official sources however, so I do not think we should use that.)
::::::As a sidenote, what is "easier" for Bulbapedia templates should never factor into these kind of decisions. The titles of the Let's Go games are a huge pain due to how differently structured they are to other game titles, but we still use them because those are the official titles. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:37, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
:::::::For the record, discussion amongst staff has brought to light that game logos don't necessarily dictate the formatting when typed out, which indicates that, since official sources use '''POKÉMON Detective Pikachu''', that's what we should use. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 20:02, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
::::::::In reply to SM, I meant that using Title case has the added benefit of being easy to use with BP templates, on top of all the evidence like the logo, title used on streaming services, etc. But if you guys want to go ahead with POKÉMON Detective Pikachu, I went back and looked at the websites, they also seem to write POKEMON in all caps.

{{indent}} If necessary, we could always make a {{bp|link templates|link template}}. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 21:10, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
:Yeah, as Landfish7 stated, it seems that first-party sources (the DVD cover, official websites, press releases, official social media, etc.) seem to use "POKÉMON Detective Pikachu" fairly consistently. Whereas streaming sites are still third-party sources, so less definitive for titles when there is a dispute. So I think relying on the DVD cover over streaming services does make more sense. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:37, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

== I think some pokemon from the movie deserve an article ==

In the movie, there are some characters who I think are significant enough to have their own articles. In particular, Psyduck, Snubbull and Greninja. [[User:Vinnylospo|Vinnylospo]] ([[User talk:Vinnylospo|talk]]) 20:04, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

:Is there anything about these Pokémon that would not fit in {{ADL|Lucy Stevens|Psyduck}}, {{ADL|Hide Yoshida|Snubbull}}, and {{ADL|PCL|Greninja}}? I think that those sections can be expanded, but there does seem enough for separate pages. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Super]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|Pool13]] 09:47, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
::I’m sure there could, but they were major characters in the film. [[User:Vinnylospo|Vinnylospo]] ([[User talk:Vinnylospo|talk]]) 13:54, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

== Greninja Coloration ==

I am making this topic due to a correction I made of a good-faith edit. An edit stated in the "Errors" section said that Greninja were colored incorrectly throughout the film. The Greninja coloration is not an error, since the official Art book, "The Art and Making of Pokémon Detective Pikachu", states the Greninja coloration is due to the power enhancement experiments. "While they retain most of the same powers as their unenhanced counterparts, these Greninja are visibly distinct, with a more muscular chest and a different, striking coloration" (Page 161). I, however, kept it in the "Errors" section since there are unmodified Greninja that have the same color scheme, likely due to the reuse of assets. I just added a sentence clarifying that the color scheme was intentional, but that it was incorrectly applied to normal Greninja. I am just wondering if we should keep it as an error at all or remove and/or possibly add this fact to a trivia section somewhere. [[User:MewtwoRBGY|MewtwoRBGY]] ([[User talk:MewtwoRBGY|talk]]) 03:59, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

:I think it's fine to keep it as an error, since ultimately some Greninja did still end up incorrectly colored in context. Even if there was no error (i.e. if only the modified Greninja used the different colors), I'd say it would still be worth mentioning as trivia, as most viewers probably don't know that the artbook justified the color scheme (I don't believe the movie even brings it up?) --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 09:41, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
::The movie somewhat addresses it, as Lucy says the Greninja don't look right when they first see them. I agree we should keep it as an error, just wanted another opinion on it. Thanks! [[User:MewtwoRBGY|MewtwoRBGY]] ([[User talk:MewtwoRBGY|talk]]) 18:23, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

'''Gibeon''' (Japanese: '''ギベオン''' ''Gibeon''<ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_pr/status/1900109588856529053 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 13, 2025.</ref>) was a recurring character and the main antagonist of {{aniseries|HZ}} from the ''[[Liko and Roy's Departure]]'' arc to the ''[[Rayquaza Rising]]'' arc. He was the former leader of the [[Explorers]], one of its founders, as well as the founder and chairman of [[Exceed]]. Additionally, he is [[Amethio]]'s grandfather.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:The original Explorers.png|250px|left|thumb|Gibeon, [[Lucius]], and [[Rystal]], the original [[Explorers]]]]
At some point in the past, Gibeon met and caught a {{Shiny|White}} [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] as his partner due to their shared wish to bring happiness to Pokémon and people. 100 years prior to the events of the series, Gibeon was a traveling {{pkmn|Trainer}} searching for the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]] alongside his Zygarde. One day, while at a saloon, he overheard two other patrons deriding a pair of travelers who had come to ask for information regarding Laqua. He presented them with an extensive document of all the research he had conducted proving Laqua existed. Later, the two travelers, [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]], invited him to accompany them on their {{pkmn|journey}} to locate the paradise, and he agreed. The group adopted the name of the [[Explorers]] and traveled around the {{pkmn|world}}, ultimately locating Laqua after several days lost at sea.
[[File:Younger Gibeon.png|250px|right|thumb|Younger Gibeon]]
In Laqua, Gibeon studied the local Pokémon, seeking to understand what could have created such a lush environment. The trio pushed on deeper into Laqua, discovering evidence of plant life that had withered from an unknown force. They eventually came across a growth of pink crystals named [[Laquium]] that generate a pink mist. Gibeon approached the growth to take a sample, observing the intense levels of energy the crystal possessed. Lucius, fearing what kind of effect the crystals could have on his group, instructed Gibeon and Rystal to leave Laqua with him, while Rystal agreed, Gibeon did not listen. Driven mad by the power of the mist, Gibeon used Zygarde in an attempt to force more crystals to grow, unleashing more mist in the process. The mist, in turn, caused the Pokémon nearby to begin rampaging, forcing Lucius and Rystal to fight them off. Zygarde, realizing the effect the mist was having on its Trainer, shed some of its cells in an attempt to seal the crystals' energy away, but this measure failed. The crystals' explosive growth ruptured the ground beneath Gibeon's feet, causing him to fall into a fissure. Following his fall, Rystal's {{p|Terapagos}} [[Pagogo]] and Lucius's Pokémon the [[Six Heroes]] worked together to seal the Laquium inside a giant energy barrier, Lucius was trapped inside it and Rystal left the paradise.

Over time, Gibeon's role in Lucius's adventures was largely forgotten. He survived the fall thanks to the Laquium shard he had with him and eventually made his way down [[Mount Pericarp]] to [[Pericarp Town]], where his injuries were treated by the mother of a {{OBP|Matriarch|HZ084|3 year old girl}}. Using his Laquium shard, he was able to exploit the mist to extend his lifespan and survive into the present day. During this time, he organized the modern incarnation of the Explorers and founded the scientific research company known as [[Exceed]], with the goal of improving the lives of people and Pokémon alike. This included, but was not limited to, researching Laquium and its uses. Since then, he sought to break Pagogo's barrier and harvest the Laquium to better the lives of both [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

He later met [[Hamber]], who had become lost and aimless in his path as an adventurer, but Gibeon guided and recruited him into the Explorers. He also sought to recruit Hamber's old friend [[Diana]], Lucius and Rystal's granddaughter, but she turned down Hamber's invitation. At one point, Gibeon also got married and fathered a [[Maria (Horizons)|daughter]], who would grow up and marry a man named [[Cervantis]]. Cervantis joined the Explorers and was apparently tasked with carrying on Gibeon's legacy, but through unknown circumstances, Cervantis strayed from this path and failed to live up to Gibeon's expectations, eventually being expelled from the Explorers. Cervantis and Gibeon's daughter had a child of their own, [[Amethio]], who Gibeon later brought into the Explorers with the same task, to find Laqua once again. At some point, Gibeon's daughter died in a car accident, but his reaction to this event is currently unknown.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
[[File:Explorers Admins HZ006.png|thumb|250px|left|Gibeon communicating with the [[Explorers]] admins]]
Gibeon was mentioned for the first time in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', when [[Hamber]] questioned [[Amethio]] about the results of his mission.

In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Gibeon appeared communicating with his Admins regarding Amethio's mission to [[Roy's hometown]]. Believing that Amethio did not carry out his mission properly, he dismissed him and sent [[Spinel]] to investigate the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. When all the members left the meeting, Hamber and Gibeon realized that they had finally found their true purpose.

In ''[[HZ025|Rivals in the Dark of Night!]]'', Gibeon contacted Hamber during the events in [[Galar]]. After the battle ended, Hamber was seen talking to Gibeon again by the monolith, informing him that events had finally begun to move again. Gibeon, in response, expressed that their wishes would soon come true.

In ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]'', Amethio sought an audience with Gibeon following his mission with the [[Black Rayquaza]] in the [[HZ033|previous episode]]. Gibeon, awakening, spoke to Amethio about the battle and inquired how he felt while fighting Rayquaza. After Amethio claimed that he felt Rayquaza was not taking the battle seriously, Gibeon suggested that it was either testing him or toying with him, then informed Amethio that Rayquaza and {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} were the keys to his paradise, Laqua.
[[File:Gibeon debut HZ045.png|250px|thumb|right|Gibeon in his chamber, using [[Laquium]] mist to keep himself young]]
Gibeon made his first physical appearance in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]''. He presided over another meeting of the Explorers following the failure of their plan to collectively battle the Black Rayquaza. In the light of their failure, he ordered a change of tactics, directing his subordinates to spy on the Rising Volt Tacklers and allow them to gather the Six Heroes, while also ordering [[Coral]] and the others to monitor Liko and Terapagos. Following the conclusion of the meeting, Gibeon was seen in his personal chamber, musing to himself about his desire to return to Laqua and how [[Lucius]]'s adventure wasn't yet over.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Gibeon summoned Amethio to meet with him in-person. During this meeting, it was revealed that Amethio was Gibeon's grandson, and his heir in the search for Laqua. Amethio swore he would prove himself worthy of carrying Gibeon's blood by finding the paradise and the [[Laquium]] within, thus succeeding where his father, Gibeon's son-in-law, had failed.

In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', after an operation against the Rising Volt Tacklers concluded in [[Glaseado Mountain]], Spinel presented evidence that Amethio had betrayed the organization by allowing Liko to leave with Terapagos. The other admins believed his claim, while Hamber was willing to listen to his defense. Before Amethio could explain anything, Gibeon chimed in, questioning whether Amethio was straying from the path much like his son-in-law did. He then made the decision to expel Amethio, seemingly unaware that he was being manipulated by Spinel and coldly told his grandson not to show his face again after his expulsion.
[[File:Gibeon wheelchair.png|250px|thumb|left|Gibeon moving on his wheelchair]]
In ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', Liko and the Rising Volt Tacklers learned about the Explorers' past from Rystal after summoning her through time at the [[Crystal Pool]]. Gibeon was later seen resting in his chamber while Spinel and [[Chalce]] schemed to usurp the position at his side once he returned to Laqua.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Gibeon was informed by [[Sidian]] that the Rising Volt Tacklers had successfully obtained the Six Heroes, restored Terapagos to full strength, and had left to find Laqua. He told the Explorers that they would ambush the Rising Volt Tacklers in Laqua once the seal had been lifted. Later, in a meeting with Spinel and Chalce, Gibeon expressed his joy at the anticipation of finally obtaining more Laquium.

In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', with the barrier to Laqua removed, Gibeon began heading towards where the Laquium was located. Accompanied only by his Zygarde, Gibeon muttered to himself about finally achieving his goals as he approached his destination.
[[File:HZ089.png|thumb|right|250px|Gibeon and [[Lucius]] fading away due to the destruction of Laquium]]
In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Gibeon made it to the Laquium and witnessed Zygarde retrieve its missing Cells, allowing it to become its 50% Forme. He ordered Zygarde to unearth a large cluster of crystals, but was interrupted by Amethio, who warned him of Spinel's actions. Gibeon ignored his grandson's words and continued mining the Laquium, but to his shock, a still-living Lucius emerged from the crystals. Lucius revealed that through its Cells, Zygarde kept him informed of events happening in the modern day world outside of Laqua. Furious at this apparent betrayal, Gibeon had the Explorers use one of Spinel's machines to stimulate the Laquium, causing it to expand uncontrollably like it did a hundred years prior. Though their views regarding Laquium differed, Zygarde agreed to fight alongside Gibeon in order to battle Amethio and the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]'', Gibeon commanded Zygarde in a ferocious [[Pokémon battle|battle]] against Liko, Roy, Dot and Amethio. He easily dominated the four of them with Zygarde's immense power, but began losing control of his emotions once they landed hits on the [[legendary Pokémon]]. Finally, just when his victory seemed to be within reach, Liko's newly-evolved {{tp|Liko|Meowscarada}} was able to strike Zygarde with aid from Amethio's {{tp|Amethio|Ceruledge}}, convincing Zygarde of their abilities. As a result, Zygarde broke apart into its Cells and abandoned Gibeon. Realizing his defeat, Gibeon broke down completely, lashing out at Lucius over his perception that the latter's bloodline had once again destroyed his dreams. When Lucius told him that Liko and her allies' bonds with their Pokémon were the reason they could overcome him, and that Zygarde battled them in order to demonstrate this to him, Gibeon became contemplative and began pondering Zygarde's Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after his defeat Gibeon was informed by Lucius that Zygarde did care about him as its partner due to once having a good goal towards bettering the lives of people and Pokémon, causing Gibeon to feel more remorseful for his actions. After Pagogo used most of its power to destroy the Laquium crystals, Gibeon and Lucius started to fade away as the crystals that kept them alive are now destroyed. In the end, Gibeon reconciled with Lucius and even his grandson Amethio, praising him before fading away.

==Character==
[[File:Gibeon obsession over Laquium.png|250px|thumb|left|Gibeon's obsession with the Laquium's power]]
In his youth, Gibeon was a determined, scientifically-minded adventurer. He habitually gathered volumes of information on his goals, recording all of his research into [[Laqua]] on a scroll that reached a significant length. He also did not tolerate what he deemed as foolishness regarding topics such as whether Laqua existed or not. Although he was generally flat emotionally, he did display some signs of appreciation and happiness during his time with [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]]. When the three [[Explorers]] reached Laqua, he immediately tried to satisfy his scientific curiosity, seeking to understand how the paradise gained its rich environment.

However, following the discovery of [[Laquium]], Gibeon's personality changed significantly for the worse for the long years. He grew maniacal and reckless in his efforts to cultivate more Laquium, behaving in a way that displayed no concern over the rampaging Pokémon around him or the risk to the world posed by the Laquium's growth. When [[White Zygarde|his Zygarde]] turned against him and tried to seal the Laquium, Gibeon grew enraged and berated it for its betrayal. He also came to view Lucius's attempts to seal away the Laquium as a personal betrayal as well. In his obsession with the Laquium, Gibeon had come to believe that the destruction of the world by its growth would be an acceptable price to pay in creating a new order of only those strong enough to withstand its effects.

Many years later, Gibeon initially appeared to be a calm, detached leader of the Explorers, mostly delegating the day-to-day work of running his followers to [[Hamber]]. He tended to directly involve himself only when major events relating to his goals took place and was pragmatic in managing his resources at these times, as seen when he replaced [[Amethio]] with [[Spinel]] on the mission to obtain [[Liko]]'s pendant. When he discovered that [[Hamber]], [[Coral]], and [[Sidian]] had gone to Galar in an attempt to confront the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], he immediately contacted Hamber. However, Gibeon later overlooked this insubordination due to the value of the intelligence they had gathered. He was generally cold-hearted and callous, displaying a willingness to do anything regardless of morality to achieve his goals. Gibeon was also secretive in his activity; few knew that he was the chairman of Exceed, and no employees are known to have ever met him face-to-face. Gibeon's subordinates held him in high, almost reverential regard, typically referring to him as "Master Gibeon", behaving in a highly deferential way when in his presence, and identifying the Explorers as "only existing to fulfill" his wishes. His followers must specifically seek out time when they wish to speak to him, for which Gibeon awakens until he chooses to conclude that subordinate's audience with him.
[[File:Gibeon Amethio HZ087.png|250px|thumb|right|Gibeon's shock when Amethio betrayed him]]
Gibeon's hatred of betrayal has not diminished over the years, and he has disowned people who have disappointed him, even members of his family. He exiled [[Cervantis|his son-in-law]] from the Explorers when he strayed from the path of Gibeon's wishes, and they did the same after discovering his own grandson's apparent betrayal. He did not allow Amethio a chance to defend himself, instead assuming that he was going down the same path as Cervantis, dismissing him and considering him a disgrace for his actions. Even when Amethio later revealed Spinel's true plans to his grandfather, Gibeon seemed to find his initiative useful due to their shared interest in the crystals and considered his grandson a disappointment due to his belief that the Laquium was not a righteous thing. However, even after the intense accusations and quarrel, Gibeon was shocked when Amethio decided to walk in front of Lucius, apparently still considering him as his heir. But nevertheless, he was willing to fight against his grandson and [[Amethio's Ceruledge|his Ceruledge]] without hesitation when they sided with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', it was shown that despite Gibeon being over 100 years old, he had aged slowly. Due to his advanced age, Gibeon's health was very poor, which caused him to be confined to an advanced wheelchair in a room filled with a mist resembling that given off by Laquium. When he did meet with someone directly instead of using his holographic monolith, they must speak with him from the other side of a barrier and cannot enter his chamber. In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'' and ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Gibeon was shown to have little mobility and rely on the use of his motorized wheelchair to navigate Laqua. He could not stand up on his own without the use of a special mechanism built into his clothing, which refined raw Laquium into mist that revitalized his frail body and gave him strength.

Gibeon had a complicated relationship with Rystal and Lucius. After the events in Laqua, since his companions were against his ideals of using Laquium to improve people and Pokémon's lives, Gibeon took their interference as a betrayal and that they did not understand his ideals. After he reunited with Lucius in the present day, Gibeon still resented him for what happened and refused to accept his apology even when Lucius revealed that they never meant to betray him and wished they could have talked more back then.
[[File:Gibeon Amethio HZ089.png|250px|thumb|left|Gibeon and Amethio's last moment together]]
Despite the feeling of betrayal, however, Gibeon was unwilling to let his Zygarde go for a hundred years and was genuinely happy when it was able to regain its 50% Forme. Even after discovering that it had been plotting behind its Trainer's back and eventually freed Lucius, Gibeon still wanted Zygarde on his side and begged it to fight for him, reminding it of their partnership.

In ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]'', when faced with his ultimate defeat as a result of Zygarde abandoning him, Gibeon suffered an emotional breakdown, lashing out about Lucius's bloodline once again destroying his dreams before contemplating Zygarde's [[Poké Ball]] while reflecting on Lucius's words. In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', he once again suffered an emotional breakdown due to the crystals' destruction, but after Amethio and Lucius's speech, it seems that Gibeon slowly began to return to his brighter self. When it came time for him and his old friend to vanish, he accepted what had happened and was ready to move on, managing to reconcile with both Lucius and Amethio, encouraging the latter to follow his own path with his Ceruledge.

'''Rubina''' (Japanese: '''ルーベラ''' ''Rubella'') is a recurring antagonist who first appeared in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]''. She is a member of the [[Explorers]] and is commonly seen at [[Indi]]'s side.

==History==
[[File:Indi and Rubina.png|250px|thumb|left|Indi and Rubina battling together]]
Rubina debuted in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', alongside [[Indi]]. During an argument between [[Karna]] and a pair of [[Exceed]] subordinates, they intervened in order to convince Karna to deliver the [[Strong Sphere]] parts. However, they soon found out [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] being there and immediately engaged in battle against them, [[Dot]], and [[Ult]], using their Strong Spheres to power up their {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. The battle properly started in the [[HZ100|next episode]], where they ended up being defeated after their opponents discovered the pattern behind the Tauros's attacks. After retreating, they reported back to [[Spinel]].

In [[HZ106]], Rubina and Indi spotted [[Rayu]] trying to trade a [[Dusk Ball]] housing a powerful Pokémon for a Strong Sphere and were seemingly about to accept the offer, only for Ult to show up, declaring himself as the Dusk Ball's owner. Recognizing him as a Rising Volt Tackler, Rubina put away the Dusk Ball, and the Explorer duo prepared for battle, powering up their {{p|Darmanitan}} with their Strong Spheres. They managed to overpower Ult in numbers and raw strength, but Ult managed to still win once his {{p|Dragonite}} emerged from the Dusk Ball, reacting with its Trainer's willingness to fight for others, forcing Rubina and Indi to retreat. In the [[HZ107|next episode]], Rubina and Indi fought against Ult and Roy, this time with each other's Darmanitan in their {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}}. Due to the assistance of a {{p|Rabsca}} army, they managed to keep the upper hand for the majority of the battle, only to lose once more as Ult's Dragonite reappeared and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] alongside [[Roy's Lucario]].

In [[HZ109]], Rubina and Indi appeared at the entrance of the Exceed distribution center as soon as Liko, Roy, and Ult arrived at the location. In the [[HZ110|next episode]], Rubina with Indi and three other grunts used a new version of Strong Spheres called Super Strong Spheres on five of the Six Heroes to battle them. In the [[HZ111|following episode]], Rubina and Indi with their group were forced to retreat when the Super Strong Spheres wears off on five of the Six Heroes, even though they knocked out all of their and [[Amethio]]'s with [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]'s help.

In [[HZ120]], Rubina managed to intercept an invasion of Dot and [[Penny]] at the Exceed Museum along with [[Indi]] and [[Chalce]]. After a battle against the two Trainers' Pokémon, Chalce managed to separate Dot from her friend and leave the rest to her and Indi. However, Penny and her {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Jolteon}} defeated Rubina's {{p|Scolipede}} and Indi's {{p|Drapion}} before Dot and Penny escaped with the Laquium data thanks to her newly evolved {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}.

==Character==
Rubina has a stoic personality and is quite cold and calculating. Due to their use of [[Strong Sphere]]s, both she and [[Indi]] battle without issuing actual instructions to their Pokémon, instead making them rely on their natural instincts, which makes battling against them hard to predict at times.

'''Perrin''' (Japanese: '''サザレ''' ''Sazare'') is a character introduced in [[The Teal Mask]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. She is a traveler and photographer who is visiting [[Kitakami]] to seek and take a picture of the Bloodmoon Beast.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/timeless_woods/ Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website]: ''"During your adventure in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] [[The Teal Mask|Part 1: The Teal Mask]], you will encounter Perrin, a young woman who is visiting [[Kitakami]] in hopes of encountering and photographing a certain Pokémon."'' </ref> She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Photographer''' (Japanese: '''写真家''' ''Photographer'').

===Character profile===
Perrin is a girl who makes her debut in the [[The Teal Mask]] expansion of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC. She reappears in [[The Indigo Disk]]. Perrin's a skilled photographer from the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who has won many awards and accolades for her photos. She has an easygoing personality and is very friendly to the player who she affectionately calls "partner." During the events of The Teal Mask, Perrin struggles to find enjoyment in her career and hopes to to meet the Bloodmoon Beast. Her camp set and tent is an old kit previously used by her father. Perrin appears to be ambidextrous, as she holds her camera in her right hand in-game, and with her left hand in her official artwork. During battle, she throws [[Poké Ball]]s with her left hand.

Perrin is a traveler who has been to many regions in the [[Pokémon world]], traveling to [[Kitakami]] and the [[Unova]] region. She has some knowledge of her homeland, the Sinnoh region, and its past, where it was once known as [[Hisui]].

Perrin's family is mostly unknown, but her father is passively mentioned by her after her camp is set up in the [[Timeless Woods]]. She appears to be a distant relative of [[Diamond Clan]] leader, [[Adaman]],{{#tag: ref|In [[The Teal Mask]], Perrin quotes [[Adaman]] from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]],<ref>'''[[Adaman]]''': ''"Time wasted is lost."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]])</ref> stating it is a common saying in her family.<ref>'''Perrin''': ''"As we always say in my family: “Time wasted is lost!” [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] - [[The Teal Mask]])</ref>|name=ancestor|group=lower-alpha}} with whom she shares a striking resemblance to. Adaman's phrase of "time wasted is lost" is passed down throughout this family. She also owns a Hisuian Growlithe who she calls "bud."

===Appearance===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Personality and design from her concept art.}}

Perrin is a short and thin woman who visually takes after her ancestor, [[Adaman]]. She has straight short to mid-length hair that wraps around the right side of her face, with a single strand falling in front of her face. Like Adaman, her hair is a dark navy blue, that gradually shifts to a blonde at the tips, having a shade of green in between. Perrin has large almond-shaped eyes with brown irises with thick navy blue eyebrows resting above, once again, giving the spitting image of Adaman. She has one long eyelash on each eye.

Perrin's outfit consists of a short gray top with no sleeves made with sweater-like material, wearing a white undershirt underneath that wraps around her arms but not her shoulders. Both articles of clothing end at her lower chest, exposing her belly. She wears a thin black choker around her neck, and two similar armbands around her right arm, while her left arm has a white wrist watch. Her small black camera bag goes on her back with a single strap going around the front of her chest like a sash. Perrin owns a pair of light blue and torn up skinny jeans using a black belt to hold them up. Her pockets are lined with a white stripe. The holes are diamond shaped and are seen around her thighs. Her jeans' knees are lined with lighter splotches making them look worn out and indicating that she walks around on her knees while taking pictures frequently. Her giant white sneakers have a gray shoe laces, and padding, put together with pink holes. The soles wrap around Perrin's toes, being white in the front and black in the back, having several divisions. She has loose, but thick black socks with green lines all over them that wrap around her shins.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
'''Website blurb''': "''Perrin is a camera-loving traveler with an easygoing personality. It seems she’s in search of a certain Pokémon and wants to take a photo of it.''"

Perrin makes her first appearance in [[The Teal Mask]] and can be found in [[Mossui Town]] along with her {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Growlithe}}. She has come to [[Kitakami]] to get a [[photography|photo]] of a certain Pokémon. Once the player has obtained at least 150 Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], she will battle them to see how strong they are, and then inform them that the Pokémon she's searching for is a special {{p|Ursaluna}} known as the Bloodmoon Beast, which arrived to Kitakami from her homeland of [[Sinnoh]]. She tells the player that this Ursaluna has been sighted in [[Timeless Woods]] and asks them to meet her there.

In Timeless Woods, the player saves Perrin from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Ariados}} and helps her set up a tent as their temporary photo survey base. In order to find the Bloodmoon Beast, the player and Perrin wait for a foggy night to occur, during which the player needs to photograph ten different Pokémon [[Pokémon (species)|species]] around the forest, allowing Perrin to use her Pokémon Searcher device to filter out the presence of every Pokémon in the forest that isn't Ursaluna. While the device does its work, Perrin tells the player how she used to be a successful photographer with awards and prestige, but lately, she's been having a slump, and hopes that getting photos of the Bloodmoon Beast would get her career back on track.

Once Ursaluna has been located, Perrin tries to take a photo of it, but her camera's flash agitates the beast, forcing the player to battle it. After the player has successfully beaten and {{pkmn2|caught}} Ursaluna, Perrin rushes back to Mossui Town to get her photos developed. Unfortunately, when the player meets Perrin back in town, she tells them that the photos she took are blurred and out of focus, making them useless. Despite this, however, she has regained her passion for photography thanks to this experience, and rewards the player's help with a [[Choice Scarf]] and one of her Hisuian Growlithe before departing, hoping to see the player again someday.

Perrin can later be found again during [[The Indigo Disk]], now working at [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]] as a photographer to get promotional pictures for the academy. She has a hot tip for the player, but decides not to share it with them until they've obtained at least 200 Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]], claiming she'll keep on photographing the player catching Pokémon without being noticed. Once the player has reached the target number, Perrin will show them photos of {{p|Gouging Fire}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}} and {{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}}, two previously unknown Pokémon sighted in [[Area Zero]], and asks the player to find them for her. After the player has caught either one or both of the [[Paradox Pokémon]] in question, they can return to Perrin, who takes some photos of them. With both Pokémon shown to her, she rewards the player's efforts with a [[Sport Ball]], before returning to her work.

===Pokémon===
Perrin's Pokémon take reference to the passage of time, using a {{p|Noctowl}}, a clock-like Pokémon, and {{p|Leafeon}}, paying homage to her ancestor, [[Adaman]], who also used a Leafeon. This and the combination of her owning two {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Growlithe}} with her mission to find the Bloodmoon Beast, an {{p|Ursaluna}}, may reference [[Hisui]] and {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Perrin anime.png|250px|thumb|Perrin in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Perrin debuted in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', where she was seen taking photos of wild Pokémon on [[Tengu Mountain]] in [[Kitakami]]. She briefly saw [[Six Heroes#Kleavor|Lucius's Kleavor]] before it ran off.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', while in [[Mossui Town]], Perrin came across a Trainer named [[Dot]]. Upon learning that Perrin was from the [[Sinnoh]] region, Dot asked if she knew anything about Lucius's Kleavor, as it was a Pokémon from [[Hisui]]. Perrin agreed to give any information she had on the condition that Dot defeat her in a {{pkmn|battle}} first. Perrin used her {{p|Leafeon}} to take on Dot's {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}, but they were eventually defeated. As promised, Perrin followed Dot to the [[Brave Olivine]], where she was introduced to the rest of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

In ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'', Perrin took [[Liko]], [[Roy]], Dot, and [[Friede]] to Tengu Mountain. Following an attack from a pack of wild {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}}, Perrin and Dot ended up separated from the others. As they traveled, Dot used a photograph Perrin took of her first encounter with Kleavor to determine the exact location where it happened. Once everyone had regrouped, they chose to use the various scratches Kleavor left in the terrain to find where it resided.

In ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', Perrin and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down. When Kleavor lured everyone into a nearby cave, Perrin and Friede ended up taking a separate path from the children. By the time they exited the area, Perrin and Friede found Liko, Roy, and Dot in the middle of a fierce clash with Kleavor. Liko's group was eventually defeated, but their combined efforts successfully convinced Kleavor to join them. Later, Perrin bid farewell to the Rising Volt Tacklers, stating that the adventure inspired her to go out and take more Pokémon photos.

Perrin reappeared in a flashback in [[HZ085]].

====Character====
Perrin has a positive, upbeat and adventurous personality as a whole, being jovial and friendly to those she first meets. Perrin has a good sense of sportsmanship and honor, as she kept her word to provide information regarding [[Six Heroes#Kleavor|Lucius's Kleavor]] after Dot defeated her in a [[Pokemon battle]]. As a professional [[photography|photographer]], she is always keen to take pictures of Pokémon and when something catches her eye and curiosity, she is determined to take a photo of it no matter what.

In ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'' Perrin also reflects on her own slump in taking simple photographs, and catching a a glimpse of Kleavor inspired her to take more creative photos in her career, increasing her motivation and spirit.

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

MasterFrostyShake: /* Television */

{{PA}}
{{fan speculation}}
This is a list of '''references to Pokémon in popular culture''', instances where television shows, music and video clips, or other non-[[Pokémon]] media explicitly mention the Pokémon franchise (or even a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}). This list includes only ''notable'' references, where they must either refer to specific details of the Pokémon franchise, or else play an important role in the work making the reference. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the reference.

References that simply mention the Pokémon franchise, use a Pokémon catchphrase, or have a Pokémon character or item briefly appear in the background or as a visual gag are listed separately on the [[list of background references to Pokémon]]. They are also distinct from parodies, which are listed separately on the [[list of Pokémon parodies]]. This list also excludes mere resemblances between character designs, non-fiction shows mentioning the existence of Pokémon, or news shows discussing Pokémon-related news, as well as game show questions about Pokémon.

* In ''{{wp|Monica's Gang}}'', Pokémon is parodied in several stories, usually referred to by the characters by the name "Pokemão".
** One of the stories is ''Pequemônica'' (Globo's Mônica #163), where the characters find an alien box similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}, from which they release several monsters belonging to an alien villain similar to [[Ash Ketchum]], and the characters end up being transformed into little monsters with powers.

In this story, {{wp|Huey, Dewey, and Louie}} become fascinated by a new franchise called Battle Beasties that is the hit of the moment. Like Pokémon, this franchise includes video games, trading cards, and a TV show. They later discover that creatures are real and accidentally end up freeing them all over {{wp|Donald Duck universe#Duckburg|Duckburg}}. The story received a sequel on April 17, 2001, called ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2000-084&search= Kampen om kræene]'' (''Battle for the Battle Beasties'' in the English version).

* In Chapter 980 of the {{wp|One Piece}} manga series, Eustass Kid is seen attacking Scratchmen Apoo with a large arm made of scrap metal. Two {{p|Meltan}} can be seen embedded in Kid's mechanical arm. In Chapter 981, a Meltan is seen on Eustass Kid's shoulder.

* In the novel ''{{wp|Coraline}}'', one of the illustrations depicts the head of a creature that strongly resembles {{p|Pikachu}}.
* In Chapter 242 of the manga series {{wp|Jujutsu Kaisen}}, Kenjaku picks up a defibrillator and shouts {{tt|「君に決めた！」|”Kimi ni kimeta!”}} ("Defibrillator, I choose you!") before using it to electrocute Fumihiko Takaba, who shouts {{tt|「やな感じ！」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("This feels bad!"). This references when Ash would send Team Rocket "[[blasting off]]" in {{aniseries|PTS}}, although this reference was lost in the official {{wp|Viz Media}} translation of the chapter.

*** {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmh7M7TXDRE ''The Reveal'']. Pikachu and Reshiram are both crudely drawn, but are not variants of David, while Zekrom is merely a black Reshiram.
*** {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Vileplume}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pR6Y3_ahS8 ''Rescission''].
*** {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Porygon}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9udiROQchg ''Gardening Hero'']. Porygon had the same appearance as the reference Pokémon.

*** Aura Sphere, which first appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmP-K0zVoR0 ''Return of the Rocket Ship''], is based on {{m|Aura Sphere|the move of the same name}}.<ref>[https://battlefordreamisland.fandom.com/wiki/File:Aura_Sphere_origin.png Screenshot containing evidence that Aura Sphere is based on the move]</ref>
*** {{p|Floragato}} was meant to make an appearance in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuh1rlW4OyQ ''Meaty''], but was scrapped due to copyright concerns.<ref>[https://x.com/Xananer/status/1724265517920465080 @Xananer]</ref>
** In the episode ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsprecnxSsE Get Digging]'', the character Pencil claims that if one encounters a wild Leafy, they should run away as soon as possible, most likely referencing the mechanic of [[Escape|running away]] from a wild Pokémon battle. At the time, Leafy had a bad reputation among the contestants for having stolen Dream Island, so she was chased in the previous episode until she warped to Yoyleland.
* On ''[https://inanimateinsanity.fandom.com/wiki/Inanimate_Insanity_Invitational Inanimate Insanity Invitational]'', the name, appearance, and basis of [https://inanimateinsanity.fandom.com/wiki/Goo Goo] is similar to that of {{p|Goomy}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/MeesterTweester/status/1378387073867071490?s=20&t=HphckD6q5bBDQdf7ZJz-9A @MeesterTweester]</ref> One of the show's former staff members, Taylor Grodin, commented that it's "VERY DIRECTLY INTENTIONAL"{{sic}}.
* There are several references to Pokémon in videos by [https://www.youtube.com/@portadosfundos Porta dos Fundos]:
** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGixUd6jjs4 TERRORISMO] (English: ''TERRORISM''), Sub-Lieutenant Braga was ordered to safely dispose of a bag that might contain a bomb, while Commander Peçanha was giving instructions on the phone. However, at some point the Commander ordered him to open the {{wp|Pokémon GO}} game and search for a Pikachu instead of disposing the bomb. Sub-Lieutenant Braga was not interested in playing the game, but was ordered to do so. It was also said that catching Pikachu was needed to so they could have more Pokémon than 22th Batallion of Pilates. A {{p|Dragonite}} spawned, so the Commander Peçanha instructed him to catch it without letting other people know about it, and further explained that Sub-Lieutenant Braga should use a [[Razz Berry]], throw an [[Ultra Ball]] and shout "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]". At the end, a Sergeant from the Pilates Battalion quickly appeared and caught the Dragonite, so Peçanha ordered Braga to use "{{m|Thunder Shock}}", meaning that Braga should shoot that Sergeant. In the post-credits scene, a real terrorist appeared with bombs, but the Sergeant talked with him in a friendly manner and told him to go explode elsewhere because that's the location of his [[Gym]].
** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8e5P09K-Vw SACRIFÍCIO] (English: ''SACRIFICE''), some devil worshipers wanted to sacrifice a virgin man. The victim said that he is not virgin, but the devil worshipers argued that only virgins play {{wp|Pokémon GO}}. The man further said that he was only trying to catch the Holiday Pikachu.
* In the third installment of SamBakZa's ''{{wp|There She Is!!}}'' series, the character Doki chases and tries various methods of capturing a fleeing Nabi. When all of her attempts fail, she uses a [[Poké Ball]], throwing it at Nabi's head and knocking him down.

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

MasterFrostyShake: /* Television */

{{PA}}
{{fan speculation}}
This is a list of '''references to Pokémon in popular culture''', instances where television shows, music and video clips, or other non-[[Pokémon]] media explicitly mention the Pokémon franchise (or even a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}). This list includes only ''notable'' references, where they must either refer to specific details of the Pokémon franchise, or else play an important role in the work making the reference. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the reference.

References that simply mention the Pokémon franchise, use a Pokémon catchphrase, or have a Pokémon character or item briefly appear in the background or as a visual gag are listed separately on the [[list of background references to Pokémon]]. They are also distinct from parodies, which are listed separately on the [[list of Pokémon parodies]]. This list also excludes mere resemblances between character designs, non-fiction shows mentioning the existence of Pokémon, or news shows discussing Pokémon-related news, as well as game show questions about Pokémon.

This strip was released weeks after the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{wp|Rick Riordan}}'s book ''{{wp|The Mark of Athena}}'', war-crazed Coach Hedge is sailing a ship while singing the [[Pokémon Theme]], replacing the [[Gotta catch 'em all!]] catchphrase with "Gotta ''Kill'' 'Em All".
* In the tenth book in the ''{{wp|Jigsaw Jones Mysteries}}'' series, ''The Case of the Ghostwriter'', Stringbean hires Jigsaw to take the case by offering him bubblegum, a {{wp|Darth Maul}} pencil eraser, a rubber band ball, $0.36, and a {{tcg|Diglett}} card. Jigsaw calls Diglett too common, so Stringbean instead offers a First Edition {{tcg|Gloom}} card, which he accepts.
* A ''{{wp|Mother Goose and Grimm}}'' [http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2014/MGG-2014-05-31.gif comic strip from May 31, 2014] featured a pair of Pikachu. It portrayed how the species got its name in a satirical manner.

* In Volume 5, Chapter 1 of the ''{{wp|Sword Art Online}}'' light novel series, when discussing possible ways for someone to shoot a bullet in virtual reality and kill someone else in real life, Kirito mentions an instance in which animation effects in an [[EP038|episode]] of a certain {{aniseries|PTS|anime}} caused children across Japan to become sick. This reference was not retained in Episode 1 of the anime adaptation's second season, which directly adapts the chapter.
* Mangaka {{wp|Ume Aoki}} frequently represents herself in her works as "Ume-sensei", a crude chibi representation of herself dressed as a {{p|Metapod}}. Ume-sensei most notably appears in Aoki's famed manga ''{{wp|Hidamari Sketch}}''.
* In "What She Does Next Will Astound You", the third novel based on the BBC sci-fi drama {{wp|Class (2016 TV series)|Class}}, one of the dares on the website truthordare.com is to "play ''[[Pokémon GO]]'' underwater".
* In a ''{{wp|Zits}}'' [http://comicskingdom.com/zits/2015-05-22 comic from May 22, 2015], Jeremy asks his mother if she has seen his [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon cards]] and freaks out when she said she threw them out years ago.

* In ''{{wp|Monica's Gang}}'', Pokémon is parodied in several stories, usually referred to by the characters by the name "Pokemão".
** One of the stories is ''Pequemônica'' (Globo's Mônica #163), where the characters find an alien box similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}, from which they release several monsters belonging to an alien villain similar to [[Ash Ketchum]], and the characters end up being transformed into little monsters with powers. Another story is ''Pokecão'' (Globo's Mônica #167), where the character Glu accidentally ends up changing to resemble Pikachu after being struck by lightning in the tail. The story also features dogs parodying [[Jessie]] and [[James]] and a scene with the writers dressed as Pokémon.
** ''Avaturma'' (2011), a comic book story parodying ''{{wp|Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar}}'', includes several blue characters from games, movies, animated series, etc. {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Totodile}} are seen in this comic.

In this story, {{wp|Huey, Dewey, and Louie}} become fascinated by a new franchise called Battle Beasties that is the hit of the moment. Like Pokémon, this franchise includes video games, trading cards, and a TV show. They later discover that creatures are real and accidentally end up freeing them all over {{wp|Donald Duck universe#Duckburg|Duckburg}}. The story received a sequel on April 17, 2001, called ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2000-084&search= Kampen om kræene]'' (''Battle for the Battle Beasties'' in the English version).

* A Donald Duck comic written by Knut Nærum and drawn by Arild Midthun, first published on June 2, 2017, in Denmark as ''[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2016-306 Byen i boblen]'' (''The Duck in the Bubble'' in the English version), features a mobile game based on [[Pokémon GO]] that's taken Duckburg by storm. Various elements of the game, such as {{stat|Combat Power}}, are referenced in the story. At the end of the story, when Donald inadvertently ends up saving Duckburg from being struck by a giant meteor, a crowd celebrates their hero by singing an altered version of the [[Pokémon Theme]].
* In Chapter 980 of the {{wp|One Piece}} manga series, Eustass Kid is seen attacking Scratchmen Apoo with a large arm made of scrap metal. Two {{p|Meltan}} can be seen embedded in Kid's mechanical arm. In Chapter 981, a Meltan is seen on Eustass Kid's shoulder.
* In Chapter 350 of the manga series {{wp|Komi Can't Communicate}}, a cellphone saleswoman offers Komi the God Phone, which resembles the [[Arc Phone]] from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* In the novel ''{{wp|Coraline}}'', one of the illustrations depicts the head of a creature that strongly resembles {{p|Pikachu}}.
* In Chapter 242 of the manga series {{wp|Jujutsu Kaisen}}, Kenjaku picks up a defibrillator and shouts {{tt|「君に決めた！」|”Kimi ni kimeta!”}} ("Defibrillator, I choose you!") before using it to electrocute Fumihiko Takaba, who shouts {{tt|「やな感じ！」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("This feels bad!"). This references when Ash would send Team Rocket "[[blasting off]]" in {{aniseries|PTS}}, although this reference was lost in the official {{wp|Viz Media}} translation of the chapter.

===Web videos===
* ''{{wp|Death Battle}}'' has six battles featuring Pokémon:
** The first was [[Ash's Pikachu]] vs. {{wp|Blanka}}. Blanka was declared the winner due to his self-taught survival skills, electric resistance, and his greater strength and size compared to Pikachu giving him an edge over Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} typing and reliance on a Trainer.<ref>[http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle/death-battle-pikachu-vs-blanka Death Battle: Pikachu vs. Blanka]</ref>
** The second was a three-way free-for-all between a wild {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}}. Blastoise was found to win 48% of over 7,000 simulated [[Pokémon battle]]s between the three Pokémon using game mechanics and was thus declared the winner of the battle.<ref>[http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle/pokemon-battle-royale-death-battle Death Battle: Pokémon Battle Royale]</ref>
** The third was a battle between [[Red (game)|Red]] and {{p|Charizard}} against Tai and Agumon of ''{{wp|Digimon}}'' fame; the battle ended in Tai's favor, due to the superior bond between Tai and Agumon as opposed to Red and Charizard.<ref>[http://screwattack.roosterteeth.com/episode/death-battle-season-2-32 Death Battle: Pokémon vs. Digimon]</ref>
** The fourth was a battle between {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{wp|Shadow the Hedgehog}}; the winner was Mewtwo, due to having a wide range of abilities from reading minds to being able to heal itself, as well as using it's knowledge against Shadow. Mewtwo also appeared in a joke episode against Vegeta of ''{{wp|Dragon Ball}}'' where the winner was the Internet.
** The fifth was a battle between {{p|Lucario}} and Renamon of ''{{wp|Digimon}}''; the winner was Lucario, due to a wider arsenal and greater physical strength.<ref>[https://roosterteeth.com/episode/death-battle-season-4-lucario-vs-renamon Lucario VS Renamon - DEATH BATTLE! - Rooster Teeth]</ref>
** The sixth was a battle between Goro of ''{{wp|Mortal Kombat}}'' vs {{p|Machamp}}; the winner was Machamp, due to its power input, the ability to adapt and counter all of Goro's moves, and the ability {{a|Guts}}.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZXGw3Q25Ys</ref>
* ''{{wp|Epic Rap Battles of History}}'' featured a battle between Ash Ketchum and Charles Darwin. Jessie and James make a cameo appearance, as does Ash's Pikachu, and several other Pokémon including Charizard, Butterfree, Alolan Exeggutor, Lapras, and Magikarp. Jigglypuff and Professor Oak are also mentioned.
* On ''{{wp|The Annoying Orange}}'', in "Marshmallow's Christmas Sock (12 Days Of Christmas)", three Pikachu were some of Marshmallow's gifts.<ref>[https://youtu.be/jQnqyMOQmlA?t=36 Annoying Orange - Marshmallow's Christmas Sock (12 Days Of Christmas) on YouTube.com]</ref> The series also features multiple parodies of the Pokémon franchise itself, including ''KitchenMon'', ''KitchenMon 2'', and ''KitchenMon 3'' (parodies of Pokémon animation); ''Pokémon Orange'' (a parody of the core series games); and ''KitchenMon GO'' (a parody of Pokémon GO).
* ''{{wp|Homestar Runner}}'' has made a number of references to the series, usually playing on Pikachu's similar appearance to the character of [http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/The_Cheat The Cheat].<ref>[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Pokémon Pokémon on HRWiki.org]</ref> In particular, Pikachu appears on screen during "[http://www.homestarrunner.com/cheatvideo.html The Cheat Theme Song]", when the lyrics are "Who's the man that looks like The Cheat?"
* TeamFourStar's ''Dragon Ball Z Abridged'' contains a running joke in Season 1 where Nappa calls Chiaotzu a "Pokémon". He tries to throw a [[Poké Ball]] to catch him, but this fails, as Vegeta tells him he has to damage him significantly first.
** In the stinger at the end of Episode 47, Imperfect Cell is shown "[[Evolution|evolving]]" into Semi-Perfect Cell, in the same Game Boy style of a Pokémon evolving in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, complete with background music.
* Several Pokémon references were made in ''[https://battlefordreamisland.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_for_Dream_Island Battle For Dream Island]''.
** Some characters appeared as "recommended characters," characters that could be submitted by the viewers. Those based on Pokémon and human characters are [https://battlefordreamisland.fandom.com/wiki/David David] variants, unless otherwise specified.
*** {{Ash}} and [[Brock]] appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf9FHBM0SLQ ''Vomitaco'']. Ash is depicted with his signature cap from the [[original series]].
*** Nurse Lily, shown in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAKk0gm73K0 ''Bowling, Now with Explosions!''], bears resemblance to [[Nurse Joy]].
*** {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmh7M7TXDRE ''The Reveal'']. Pikachu and Reshiram are both crudely drawn, but are not variants of David, while Zekrom is merely a black Reshiram.
*** {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Vileplume}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pR6Y3_ahS8 ''Rescission''].
*** {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Porygon}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9udiROQchg ''Gardening Hero'']. Porygon had the same appearance as the reference Pokémon.
*** {{p|Froslass}} and {{Shiny}} {{p|Lucario}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OfKK5Rt3fY ''The Glistening'']. Shiny Lucario merely has a light reflection and the colors of a regular Lucario.
*** {{p|Chandelure}} (also called "Chandelier") and {{p|Eelektross}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfFkiGgY6Pk ''Don't Pierce My Flesh'']. Both have the same appearance as the reference Pokémon.
*** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PigChYq_FrM ''Insectophobe's Nightmare 2''], the "One Person Per Recommender Sign" among the crowd says that recommended characters based on real people and copyrighted characters, including Pokémon, would no longer be featured over fear of being sued.
*** Aura Sphere, which first appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmP-K0zVoR0 ''Return of the Rocket Ship''], is based on {{m|Aura Sphere|the move of the same name}}.<ref>[https://battlefordreamisland.fandom.com/wiki/File:Aura_Sphere_origin.png Screenshot containing evidence that Aura Sphere is based on the move]</ref>
*** {{p|Floragato}} was meant to make an appearance in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuh1rlW4OyQ ''Meaty''], but was scrapped due to copyright concerns.<ref>[https://x.com/Xananer/status/1724265517920465080 @Xananer]</ref>
** In the episode ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsprecnxSsE Get Digging]'', the character Pencil claims that if one encounters a wild Leafy, they should run away as soon as possible, most likely referencing the mechanic of [[Escape|running away]] from a wild Pokémon battle. At the time, Leafy had a bad reputation among the contestants for having stolen Dream Island, so she was chased in the previous episode until she warped to Yoyleland.
* On ''[https://inanimateinsanity.fandom.com/wiki/Inanimate_Insanity_Invitational Inanimate Insanity Invitational]'', the name, appearance, and basis of [https://inanimateinsanity.fandom.com/wiki/Goo Goo] is similar to that of {{p|Goomy}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/MeesterTweester/status/1378387073867071490?s=20&t=HphckD6q5bBDQdf7ZJz-9A @MeesterTweester]</ref> One of the show's former staff members, Taylor Grodin, commented that it's "VERY DIRECTLY INTENTIONAL"{{sic}}.
* There are several references to Pokémon in videos by [https://www.youtube.com/@portadosfundos Porta dos Fundos]:
** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGixUd6jjs4 TERRORISMO] (English: ''TERRORISM''), Sub-Lieutenant Braga was ordered to safely dispose of a bag that might contain a bomb, while Commander Peçanha was giving instructions on the phone. However, at some point the Commander ordered him to open the {{wp|Pokémon GO}} game and search for a Pikachu instead of disposing the bomb. Sub-Lieutenant Braga was not interested in playing the game, but was ordered to do so. It was also said that catching Pikachu was needed to so they could have more Pokémon than 22th Batallion of Pilates. A {{p|Dragonite}} spawned, so the Commander Peçanha instructed him to catch it without letting other people know about it, and further explained that Sub-Lieutenant Braga should use a [[Razz Berry]], throw an [[Ultra Ball]] and shout "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]". At the end, a Sergeant from the Pilates Battalion quickly appeared and caught the Dragonite, so Peçanha ordered Braga to use "{{m|Thunder Shock}}", meaning that Braga should shoot that Sergeant. In the post-credits scene, a real terrorist appeared with bombs, but the Sergeant talked with him in a friendly manner and told him to go explode elsewhere because that's the location of his [[Gym]].
** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8e5P09K-Vw SACRIFÍCIO] (English: ''SACRIFICE''), some devil worshipers wanted to sacrifice a virgin man. The victim said that he is not virgin, but the devil worshipers argued that only virgins play {{wp|Pokémon GO}}. The man further said that he was only trying to catch the Holiday Pikachu.
* In the third installment of SamBakZa's ''{{wp|There She Is!!}}'' series, the character Doki chases and tries various methods of capturing a fleeing Nabi. When all of her attempts fail, she uses a [[Poké Ball]], throwing it at Nabi's head and knocking him down.

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

2025-04-17T20:02:41Z

MasterFrostyShake: /* Television */

{{PA}}
{{fan speculation}}
This is a list of '''references to Pokémon in popular culture''', instances where television shows, music and video clips, or other non-[[Pokémon]] media explicitly mention the Pokémon franchise (or even a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}). This list includes only ''notable'' references, where they must either refer to specific details of the Pokémon franchise, or else play an important role in the work making the reference. The following list is divided by the medium of the work, then sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the reference.

References that simply mention the Pokémon franchise, use a Pokémon catchphrase, or have a Pokémon character or item briefly appear in the background or as a visual gag are listed separately on the [[list of background references to Pokémon]]. They are also distinct from parodies, which are listed separately on the [[list of Pokémon parodies]]. This list also excludes mere resemblances between character designs, non-fiction shows mentioning the existence of Pokémon, or news shows discussing Pokémon-related news, as well as game show questions about Pokémon.

| style="text-align:left" | Pokémon is a recurring theme in this episode with one of {{wp|Jack Donaghy|Jack}}'s girlfriends. When referring to Jack's polygamy, she said that it was like Pokémon the way Jack had "gotta catch 'em all". Jack pluralizes Pokémon as "Pokémons" only to have her correct him. Jack brings up Pokémon numerous times throughout the episode in reference to his girlfriend, including referring to a text message he got as being "Pokémon'd". At the end of the episode, Liz writes a letter on her laptop, and also refers to "Pokémons" and her life as "little creatures running around".

| style="text-align:left" | During the start of the episode, Gumball and his party can't progress through the game because their path is blocked by a bush, in reference to the various road blocks present in Pokémon games that require [[TM]]s to get rid of. When trying to remove the bush, a message appears saying that the attempt "was ineffective", like when using a non-effective move against another Pokémon. Afterwards, Gumball kicks the bush in frustration and starts a battle with a monster, in a manner similar to starting a battle with a wild Pokémon in the tall grass.

In ''{{wp|Shark?!}}'', when Roger notices that Steve left his {{p|Bulbasaur}}, he says he might as well go battle an army of {{p|Jigglypuff}}s.

In ''Brave N00b World'', Principal Lewis explained he got 50 cats because he thought they were Pokémon, thus captured every one he could find, and got arrested when he made them battle.

This strip was released weeks after the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{wp|Rick Riordan}}'s book ''{{wp|The Mark of Athena}}'', war-crazed Coach Hedge is sailing a ship while singing the [[Pokémon Theme]], replacing the [[Gotta catch 'em all!]] catchphrase with "Gotta ''Kill'' 'Em All".
* In the tenth book in the ''{{wp|Jigsaw Jones Mysteries}}'' series, ''The Case of the Ghostwriter'', Stringbean hires Jigsaw to take the case by offering him bubblegum, a {{wp|Darth Maul}} pencil eraser, a rubber band ball, $0.36, and a {{tcg|Diglett}} card.

* In "What She Does Next Will Astound You", the third novel based on the BBC sci-fi drama {{wp|Class (2016 TV series)|Class}}, one of the dares on the website truthordare.com is to "play ''[[Pokémon GO]]'' underwater".
* In a ''{{wp|Zits}}'' [http://comicskingdom.com/zits/2015-05-22 comic from May 22, 2015], Jeremy asks his mother if she has seen his [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon cards]] and freaks out when she said she threw them out years ago.

** One of the stories is ''Pequemônica'' (Globo's Mônica #163), where the characters find an alien box similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}, from which they release several monsters belonging to an alien villain similar to [[Ash Ketchum]], and the characters end up being transformed into little monsters with powers.

In this story, {{wp|Huey, Dewey, and Louie}} become fascinated by a new franchise called Battle Beasties that is the hit of the moment. Like Pokémon, this franchise includes video games, trading cards, and a TV show. They later discover that creatures are real and accidentally end up freeing them all over {{wp|Donald Duck universe#Duckburg|Duckburg}}.

* ''{{wp|Death Battle}}'' has six battles featuring Pokémon:
** The first was [[Ash's Pikachu]] vs. {{wp|Blanka}}. Blanka was declared the winner due to his self-taught survival skills, electric resistance, and his greater strength and size compared to Pikachu giving him an edge over Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} typing and reliance on a Trainer.<ref>[http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle/death-battle-pikachu-vs-blanka Death Battle: Pikachu vs. Blanka]</ref>
** The second was a three-way free-for-all between a wild {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}}. Blastoise was found to win 48% of over 7,000 simulated [[Pokémon battle]]s between the three Pokémon using game mechanics and was thus declared the winner of the battle.<ref>[http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle/pokemon-battle-royale-death-battle Death Battle: Pokémon Battle Royale]</ref>
** The third was a battle between [[Red (game)|Red]] and {{p|Charizard}} against Tai and Agumon of ''{{wp|Digimon}}'' fame; the battle ended in Tai's favor, due to the superior bond between Tai and Agumon as opposed to Red and Charizard.<ref>[http://screwattack.roosterteeth.com/episode/death-battle-season-2-32 Death Battle: Pokémon vs. Digimon]</ref>
** The fourth was a battle between {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{wp|Shadow the Hedgehog}}; the winner was Mewtwo, due to having a wide range of abilities from reading minds to being able to heal itself, as well as using it's knowledge against Shadow. Mewtwo also appeared in a joke episode against Vegeta of ''{{wp|Dragon Ball}}'' where the winner was the Internet.
** The fifth was a battle between {{p|Lucario}} and Renamon of ''{{wp|Digimon}}''; the winner was Lucario, due to a wider arsenal and greater physical strength.<ref>[https://roosterteeth.com/episode/death-battle-season-4-lucario-vs-renamon Lucario VS Renamon - DEATH BATTLE! - Rooster Teeth]</ref>
** The sixth was a battle between Goro of ''{{wp|Mortal Kombat}}'' vs {{p|Machamp}}; the winner was Machamp, due to its power input, the ability to adapt and counter all of Goro's moves, and the ability {{a|Guts}}.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZXGw3Q25Ys</ref>
* ''{{wp|Epic Rap Battles of History}}'' featured a battle between Ash Ketchum and Charles Darwin. Jessie and James make a cameo appearance, as does Ash's Pikachu, and several other Pokémon including Charizard, Butterfree, Alolan Exeggutor, Lapras, and Magikarp. Jigglypuff and Professor Oak are also mentioned.
* On ''{{wp|The Annoying Orange}}'', in "Marshmallow's Christmas Sock (12 Days Of Christmas)", three Pikachu were some of Marshmallow's gifts.<ref>[https://youtu.be/jQnqyMOQmlA?t=36 Annoying Orange - Marshmallow's Christmas Sock (12 Days Of Christmas) on YouTube.com]</ref> The series also features multiple parodies of the Pokémon franchise itself, including ''KitchenMon'', ''KitchenMon 2'', and ''KitchenMon 3'' (parodies of Pokémon animation); ''Pokémon Orange'' (a parody of the core series games); and ''KitchenMon GO'' (a parody of Pokémon GO).
* ''{{wp|Homestar Runner}}'' has made a number of references to the series, usually playing on Pikachu's similar appearance to the character of [http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/The_Cheat The Cheat].<ref>[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Pokémon Pokémon on HRWiki.org]</ref> In particular, Pikachu appears on screen during "[http://www.homestarrunner.com/cheatvideo.html The Cheat Theme Song]", when the lyrics are "Who's the man that looks like The Cheat?"
* TeamFourStar's ''Dragon Ball Z Abridged'' contains a running joke in Season 1 where Nappa calls Chiaotzu a "Pokémon". He tries to throw a [[Poké Ball]] to catch him, but this fails, as Vegeta tells him he has to damage him significantly first.
** In the stinger at the end of Episode 47, Imperfect Cell is shown "[[Evolution|evolving]]" into Semi-Perfect Cell, in the same Game Boy style of a Pokémon evolving in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, complete with background music.
* Several Pokémon references were made in ''[https://battlefordreamisland.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_for_Dream_Island Battle For Dream Island]''.
** Some characters appeared as "recommended characters," characters that could be submitted by the viewers. Those based on Pokémon and human characters are [https://battlefordreamisland.fandom.com/wiki/David David] variants, unless otherwise specified.
*** {{Ash}} and [[Brock]] appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf9FHBM0SLQ ''Vomitaco'']. Ash is depicted with his signature cap from the [[original series]].
*** Nurse Lily, shown in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAKk0gm73K0 ''Bowling, Now with Explosions!''], bears resemblance to [[Nurse Joy]].
*** {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmh7M7TXDRE ''The Reveal'']. Pikachu and Reshiram are both crudely drawn, but are not variants of David, while Zekrom is merely a black Reshiram.
*** {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Vileplume}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pR6Y3_ahS8 ''Rescission''].
*** {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Porygon}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9udiROQchg ''Gardening Hero'']. Porygon had the same appearance as the reference Pokémon.
*** {{p|Froslass}} and {{Shiny}} {{p|Lucario}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OfKK5Rt3fY ''The Glistening'']. Shiny Lucario merely has a light reflection and the colors of a regular Lucario.
*** {{p|Chandelure}} (also called "Chandelier") and {{p|Eelektross}} appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfFkiGgY6Pk ''Don't Pierce My Flesh'']. Both have the same appearance as the reference Pokémon.
*** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PigChYq_FrM ''Insectophobe's Nightmare 2''], the "One Person Per Recommender Sign" among the crowd says that recommended characters based on real people and copyrighted characters, including Pokémon, would no longer be featured over fear of being sued.
*** Aura Sphere, which first appeared in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmP-K0zVoR0 ''Return of the Rocket Ship''], is based on {{m|Aura Sphere|the move of the same name}}.<ref>[https://battlefordreamisland.fandom.com/wiki/File:Aura_Sphere_origin.png Screenshot containing evidence that Aura Sphere is based on the move]</ref>
*** {{p|Floragato}} was meant to make an appearance in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuh1rlW4OyQ ''Meaty''], but was scrapped due to copyright concerns.<ref>[https://x.com/Xananer/status/1724265517920465080 @Xananer]</ref>
** In the episode ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsprecnxSsE Get Digging]'', the character Pencil claims that if one encounters a wild Leafy, they should run away as soon as possible, most likely referencing the mechanic of [[Escape|running away]] from a wild Pokémon battle. At the time, Leafy had a bad reputation among the contestants for having stolen Dream Island, so she was chased in the previous episode until she warped to Yoyleland.
* On ''[https://inanimateinsanity.fandom.com/wiki/Inanimate_Insanity_Invitational Inanimate Insanity Invitational]'', the name, appearance, and basis of [https://inanimateinsanity.fandom.com/wiki/Goo Goo] is similar to that of {{p|Goomy}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/MeesterTweester/status/1378387073867071490?s=20&t=HphckD6q5bBDQdf7ZJz-9A @MeesterTweester]</ref> One of the show's former staff members, Taylor Grodin, commented that it's "VERY DIRECTLY INTENTIONAL"{{sic}}.
* There are several references to Pokémon in videos by [https://www.youtube.com/@portadosfundos Porta dos Fundos]:
** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGixUd6jjs4 TERRORISMO] (English: ''TERRORISM''), Sub-Lieutenant Braga was ordered to safely dispose of a bag that might contain a bomb, while Commander Peçanha was giving instructions on the phone. However, at some point the Commander ordered him to open the {{wp|Pokémon GO}} game and search for a Pikachu instead of disposing the bomb. Sub-Lieutenant Braga was not interested in playing the game, but was ordered to do so. It was also said that catching Pikachu was needed to so they could have more Pokémon than 22th Batallion of Pilates. A {{p|Dragonite}} spawned, so the Commander Peçanha instructed him to catch it without letting other people know about it, and further explained that Sub-Lieutenant Braga should use a [[Razz Berry]], throw an [[Ultra Ball]] and shout "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]". At the end, a Sergeant from the Pilates Battalion quickly appeared and caught the Dragonite, so Peçanha ordered Braga to use "{{m|Thunder Shock}}", meaning that Braga should shoot that Sergeant. In the post-credits scene, a real terrorist appeared with bombs, but the Sergeant talked with him in a friendly manner and told him to go explode elsewhere because that's the location of his [[Gym]].
** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8e5P09K-Vw SACRIFÍCIO] (English: ''SACRIFICE''), some devil worshipers wanted to sacrifice a virgin man. The victim said that he is not virgin, but the devil worshipers argued that only virgins play {{wp|Pokémon GO}}. The man further said that he was only trying to catch the Holiday Pikachu.
* In the third installment of SamBakZa's ''{{wp|There She Is!!}}'' series, the character Doki chases and tries various methods of capturing a fleeing Nabi. When all of her attempts fail, she uses a [[Poké Ball]], throwing it at Nabi's head and knocking him down.

'''Alder''' (Japanese: '''アデク''' ''Adeku'') is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Unova]] region's [[Unova League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==In the core series games==
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Alder appears as the wandering Champion of [[Unova]]. The {{player}} first meets him on {{rt|5|Unova}}, where he is seen with [[Cheren]]. The two are discussing Cheren's ambitions and goals as a Trainer—at this point, Cheren is aiming to be the Champion of Unova. Alder appears at several points in the game to help the player put a stop to the plans of [[Team Plasma]], making appearances at [[Relic Castle]] and [[N's Castle]].

Uniquely for a Champion, Alder cannot be battled the first time the player challenges the {{un|Pokémon League}}. By the time the player is ready to challenge him, Alder has already been defeated by [[N]]. The player must then battle N, putting each other's beliefs on the line to determine the future of [[Unova]].

In the past, Alder's [[first partner Pokémon]] died of [[Illness in the Pokémon world|illness]], and in despair over not being able to save it, he began traveling around aimlessly. Before his partner's death, the two of them madly pursued strength, much like Cheren did. The Pokémon's death changed Alder's outlook on life. The identity of this Pokémon is never mentioned in Black and White, but dialogue in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} reveals that Alder's late partner was a {{p|Larvesta}} that evolved into {{p|Volcarona}}.<ref>Alder: "''Well done! That was an impressive battle. The spirit of my first partner, Larvesta - no, Volcarona - lives on in my current partners, too! I want to add your strength to their experience as well!''"</ref>

It is said that Alder instructed the Elite Four to look after the Pokémon League as he traveled around the region.<ref>Ghetsis: ''"Even you, who ordered the Elite Four to protect the Pokémon League and left to wander the Unova region alone..."''</ref>

In {{B2W2}}, former [[Opelucid City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Iris]] has become the region's Champion. Alder will again assist the player at various points of the game, and he is based in his hometown of [[Floccesy Town]] this time. A woman in the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] notes that Alder had refused to work at the school because it is the era of young people. After defeating Iris, the player can return to Floccesy Town and accept Alder's request for a {{pkmn|battle}}. If victorious, the player will be able to battle in the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}. Alder's grandson [[Benga]] is known to train there.

As a former Champion, Alder participates in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

[[File:Alder anime.png|thumb|250px|Alder in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
Alder debuted in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', during a flashback of [[Trip]]'s childhood. He was battling a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the middle of a town with his {{p|Bouffalant}} as Trip watched in awe. After the {{pkmn|battle}} ended, the {{pkmn|Champion}} approached the child and allowed him to pet and feed Bouffalant. He asked Trip what his goal was, and Trip replied that it was to be Champion. Impressed, Alder inspired Trip to train hard when he got older, and promised that he would be waiting to challenge Trip someday. Trip sealed the promise with a confident handshake.

Alder physically debuted in ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]''. {{Ash}} and Trip met him on {{rt|5|Unova}}, and upon meeting them, he referred to them as '''Ashton''' (Japanese: '''サンタロ''' ''Santaro'') and '''Tristan''' (Japanese: '''シュータロ''' ''Shootaro''), respectively. He wished to battle both of them in a two-on-one battle, but Trip refused to battle alongside Ash, so Alder settled for battling them one at a time. Trip allowed Ash to go first, thinking that being quickly defeated by the Champion would do him good.

During the battle, Alder just stood calmly and allowed his Bouffalant to take multiple attacks from [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Ash and {{ashfr}} then realized Alder was actually sleeping while standing up. Trip woke Alder, while Bouffalant expressed its embarrassment and disappointment in its Trainer. After explaining why he was asleep, Alder commanded Bouffalant to use {{m|Head Charge}}, but Bouffalant was still angry with him and slow to respond. In order to persuade Bouffalant to quit wasting time and attack, Alder slapped its rump, sending it charging. Bouffalant stampeded towards Pikachu, but it stopped quickly, made a U-turn, and attacked Alder instead.

Afterwards, much to Trip's disappointment, and despite his Bouffalant still being fit to battle, Alder conceded defeat to Ash and decided he was finished battling for the day. Trip then questioned Alder about the advice he was given as a child. Alder seemed to be confused by this and then contradicted the original advice he gave to Trip by saying becoming the strongest was not the most important part of battling. Trip immediately left in anger, telling Ash he would continue on the path he believed in.

Later, Alder stopped a {{p|Gigalith}} that was on a rampage with his bare hands. Afterwards, he removed a nail from its foot that had been causing it pain and fed it some minerals, making it so thankful that it even saved [[Officer Jenny]] from being crushed under a falling monument.

He appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''.

[[File:Trip Junior Cup.png|thumb|250px|Alder awarding Trip the Junior Cup]]
In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Alder was one of the hosts of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] alongside [[Freddy O'Martian]]. The winner of the tournament would be given the opportunity to have a battle with him. In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Trip won the tournament by defeating Ash, and as such, he got the right the battle Alder. In their battle, although [[Trip's Serperior]] was shown to be strong, it was no match to {{p|Bouffalant}}. Then, after talking to Trip and petting his Serperior, he was shown along with {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Caitlin]], and Freddy O'Martian, talking to the competitors and saying their goodbyes.

He made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'', {{an|Iris}} was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Unova League, indicating that Alder no longer holds the title.

In ''[[JN117|The Fiery Road to Mastership!]]'', Alder was shown watching Iris's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against Cynthia. During said match, Iris mentioned her {{TP|Iris|Haxorus}} having finished the battle that made her Champion, likely indicating she defeated Alder to earn her title.

[[File:Unova Rivals.png|thumb|250px|Alder in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]

====Character====
Characterized as strong and wise, Alder is respected as the [[Unova League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. He pays particular attention to children, hoping to inspire them to become {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Alder is also reckless, often leaping into action to save the day like in ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', where he approached a rampaging {{p|Gigalith}}.

In his spare time, Alder is typically carefree and relaxed. This extends to the point where he has a habit of sleeping and forgetting things. Much like {{an|Brock}}, he often flirts with women such as [[Nurse Joy]], [[Officer Jenny]], and {{an|Cynthia}}.

====Pokémon====
This listing is of Alder's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|PTS}}:

|desc=Bouffalant debuted in a flashback of Trip's childhood in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', where it easily defeated a {{p|Herdier}} by using Head Charge. After the battle, Alder gave some [[Pokémon food]] to Trip in order to feed it.

In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', Alder sent Bouffalant out to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. However, it was given no commands, and Pikachu hit it with all of his attacks. Frustrated, it then turned to Alder, who had fallen asleep. Due to this, when Alder told Bouffalant to attack, it attacked him instead of Pikachu. Alder then offered it an apple as an apology. Later, Alder sent Bouffalant out to face the rampaging Gigalith, but he then decided to handle the situation himself.

It reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''.

In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Bouffalant was used in a battle against [[Trip's Serperior]], and continuing that battle in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', it was revealed to have the [[Ability]] Sap Sipper, rendering Serperior's {{m|Solar Beam}} useless. Although Bouffalant was sent flying by Serperior's {{m|Dragon Tail}}, it recovered quickly and defeated its opponent with Head Charge.

Bouffalant's only known move is {{m|Head Charge}}, and its Ability is {{a|Sap Sipper}}.}}

====Pokémon League====
Alder has competed in the following [[Pokémon League Conference]]s:
* [[Unova League]] - Champion (prior to ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' until sometime before ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'')

===GOTCHA!===
Alder briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Alder Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Alder in Pokémon Adventures]]
====={{MangaArc|Black & White}}=====
Alder debuted in ''[[PS463|A Nickname for Tepig]]'', where he was featured in {{adv|Black}}'s imagination when he voiced his desired to conquer the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

He physically debuted in ''[[PS485|Gigi's Choice]]'', where he met [[Marshal]] at [[Nimbasa City]]. They went to meet the Mayor of Nimbasa City and battled to test the newly-created [[Battle Subway]] while waiting for him to arrive. Annoyed the mayor hadn't come even after their battle was finished, Alder went to take a break and play with the [[wild Pokémon]] outside. After returning a day later, Alder found out the mayor arrived while he was away, much to his annoyance. When {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} mocked him for slacking off, Alder claimed he was actually on a spiritual journey.

In ''[[PS508|The Lesson Ends Here]]'', Alder and Marshal walked together on {{rt|6|Unova}}, the latter requesting that Alder reconsider stepping down from the position of Pokémon League Champion. They were interrupted by the King of [[Team Plasma]], {{adv|N}}, who insulted the League and challenged Alder to a [[Double Battle]]. Despite Alder's strength, he was eventually defeated by N, who didn't need to use the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}}.

After his defeat, Alder vanished and left the [[Elite Four]] to handle the Pokémon League. Team Plasma used N's victory to justify their goal, increasing the amount of released Pokémon and lowering the number of Pokémon League spectators.

====={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
At some point, [[Iris]] succeeded Alder as Unova Champion.

In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Alder, Iris and [[Gorm]] worked together to break out of the [[White Treehollow]], which had been frozen solid by Team Plasma's flying ship, the [[Plasma Frigate]]. The three then set off to join [[Marlon]] and launch a counterattack against Team Plasma.

In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle]]'', {{adv|Whitley}} and N encountered Alder on the Plasma Frigate. Alder revealed that he and {{adv|Looker}} had been battling [[Ghetsis]], but the latter managed to escape and hide himself. N managed to find Ghetsis, but an explosion tore the Plasma Frigate apart, sending everyone flying. Alder and the others escaped to safety on Black's {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}, but the Plasma Frigate ended up crashing into the abandoned [[N's Castle]], setting the building on fire and putting the liberated Pokémon Team Plasma left behind in danger. With a combination of {{m|Fire Pledge|Fire}}, {{m|Grass Pledge|Grass}}, and {{m|Water Pledge}}, Black and the others successfully doused the flames.

In ''[[PS548|Epilogue]]'', Alder attended the [[Aspertia City]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] graduation ceremony, where he watched [[Benga]] and his classmates graduate.

{{sectionstub}}
{{-}}

===Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder===
[[File:Alder FAT.png|thumb|200px|Alder in Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder]]
Alder appears in [[Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder]]. He is a man with multiple personalities and describes himself as a burning man. He first appears in shadow at the Pokémon League after it was destroyed by {{p|Zekrom}}. N declares that Alder is "next", having defeated all of the members of the [[Elite Four]]. Later, in a news broadcast about N's conquest of [[Unova]], Alder is reported missing. While identifying as an elderly passerby, Alder throws Shin into a {{p|Trubbish}} dump to ask him to look for a very important thing with the Japanese character "ア" written on it that he has lost.

Alder declares that Shin cannot beat N and then abandons Shin to watch him battle from a nearby rooftop. While battling, Shin finds a [[Hyper Potion]] with ア written on it hidden in his {{p|Emboar}}'s tail, and Alder claims it's his present to Shin. After the battle ends, Shin asks who he is, and Alder reveals that he is the Champion of Unova, that he has known who Shin is all along, and that he believes Shin should have the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Reshiram}}.

He leads Shin to the [[Relic Castle]] in the [[Desert Resort]], where Alder says the [[Light Stone]] lies. Inside, Alder shows Shin ancient drawings depicting the Hero and his Original Pokémon, and the war between the two brothers. Upon reaching the Light Stone, Alder attacks Shin with his {{p|Volcarona}} and claims it for himself, saying that he left the Elite Four behind as decoys to take Reshiram for himself, so that he alone will be able to stay in Unova once N cleanses it of humanity.

Challenging Shin to lay a single finger on the Light Stone to earn it, he begins a harsh battle with his flawless Volcarona. After defeating Shin and trapping him in a cage of fire, Shin claims that Alder is weak for keeping Reshiram all to himself. Shin then breaks through Volcarona's fire cage to grab the Light Stone.

Alder's personality reverts to normal, and he explains that it was all a trial suggested by N to get the Light Stone to accept him as a hero. As Shin flies away on Reshiram, Alder suggests that they should battle again once everything is over, claiming that he won't lose next time. He then bids farewell to the Hero of Fire.

Alder claims it to be flawless with its perfect attacks and defense, and each of its six wings can separately release and manipulate its own flame to create a cage of fire.

Volcarona's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Quiver Dance}}, and {{m|Fire Spin}}.}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Alder's possible ancestor.png|thumb|250px|A portrait of the man who resembles Alder in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]]]
* In the Japanese version of {{game|Black and White|s}}, Alder speaks in old-fashioned Japanese.
* Alder is the only regional {{pkmn|Champion}} who is not battled during the main story. This is due to [[Team Plasma]]'s activities, which are preventing the battle the {{player}} would have with Alder after beating the Elite Four for the first time.
* While he does not state that he specializes in any specific [[type]], three of his six Pokémon are {{type|Bug}} in the teams he uses outside of the Pokémon World Tournament.
* Alder is the only Champion to exclusively use Pokémon that were introduced in the same generation as himself in all of his in-game appearances.
* In the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], Alder uses one Pokémon representing each of the {{DL|Elite Four|Unova Elite Four}}: a {{p|Chandelure}} for [[Shauntal]], a {{p|Krookodile}} for [[Grimsley]], a {{p|Reuniclus}} for [[Caitlin]], and a {{p|Conkeldurr}} for [[Marshal]].
* Alder shares his battle theme with three other characters ([[Ingo]], [[Emmet]], and [[Benga]]), more than any other Champion.
* In {{B2W2}}, due to an oversight, if the player talks to Alder after battling [[Hugh]] in [[Floccesy Ranch]] and before finding the lost {{p|Herdier}}, he will say that the player needs to give Hugh their [[Town Map]], which the player already did.
* The reason Alder carries more than six {{i|Poké Ball}}s with him is because, according to an interview with [[Yusuke Ohmura]] and [[Ken Sugimori]] in a 2010 article of the Japanese magazine "Nintendo Dream", he never figured out how to operate the [[Pokémon Storage System]].
* In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Alder is the only Champion, current or former, who has never lost an onscreen {{pkmn|battle}}.
* {{p|Volcarona}}, Alder's signature Pokémon in the games, has not been confirmed to be a part of his [[Party|team]] in the animated series, although it has appeared in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] miniseries.
* Alder's {{p|Bouffalant}} is the only Pokémon in {{aniseries|PTS}} to have used the move {{m|Head Charge}}.
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], a portrait of a man who resembles Alder is found within houses at both the [[Diamond Settlement]] and [[Pearl Settlement]]. The relationship between the two, if any, is unknown.
* In {{g|Masters EX}}, {{mas|Marshal}} reveals that Alder is the oldest Unovan Champion in history.<ref>Marshal: "''I have a master. Alder is his name. He is the oldest Champion in Unovan history, and he represents what I aim to achieve!''"</ref>
