'''Pokémon Platinum''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタープラチナ''' ''Pocket Monsters Platina'') is a sister game to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and is the third [[Generation IV]] [[main series]] game. The [[version mascot|mascot]] is {{p|Giratina}}. It will take place in the Sinnoh region and the player's starting location will be [[Twinleaf Town]], just like {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The game was first seen on May 11, 2008 when a low-resolution cell-phone picture of an upcoming issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine was leaked around the Internet. On May 15, the magazine was officially released and the game was also officially confirmed by Nintendo.

==Known changes from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Pearl}} have different outfits designed for colder weather, as the entire Sinnoh region has dropped in temperature.
* The template for the [[level]], [[HP]], and name of Pokémon in battle is a dark gray instead of white and its shape has changed.
* The [[Pokétch]] has been redesigned. Players can now move up and down between apps instead of having to go through all of them to return to a previous one.
* Some of the [[moves]] have been redesigned and have a different animation, such as {{m|Razor Leaf}}.
* When Pokémon are sent out from their [[Poké Ball]]s, their back sprites now animate much like their front sprites have since {{v|Emerald}}. Front sprites for {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} and other Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh Dex]] have also changed.
* When battling certain {{pkmn|Trainer}}s such as [[Gym Leader]]s and {{ga|Pearl}}, their sprites are now animated to move in the same manner as Pokémon.
* Some trainers now use [[seals]] when sending out some of their Pokémon.
* The [[Eterna Gym|Eterna]], [[Hearthome Gym|Hearthome]], and [[Veilstone Gym]]s have all had complete redesigns in the interior.
* Gym Leader closeups, just before a Gym battle, have been changed from enlarged sprites to higher-quality drawings and the terms VS.  The Elite Four now also has this but it includes the player on the left side of the VS. and the Elite Four member on the right of the VS.
* The rooms where the player battle the {{si|Elite Four}} have been redesigned. {{EF|Aaron}} now has logs and foliage in his room. [[Bertha]] now has rocks in her room. {{EF|Flint}} now contains lava pits in his room. [[Lucian]]'s room has only had minor changes to now include four large lights or glowing orbs on the floor. [[Cynthia]]'s room has changed its color scheme and the lift leading up to the [[Hall of Fame]] is now partially contained. The Pokémon Center at the Elite Four has also been redesigned.
* When entering new areas, the location 'labels' on the top-left corner have been redesigned, much like they were between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
* When first visiting the [[Resort Area]], the player receives a villa. Inside on a table is a catalog that lists items that can be purchased to furnish the house.

===Storyline changes===
* The player meets [[Professor Rowan]] and the opposite gender character earlier, and obtains his or her [[starter Pokémon]] on [[Route 201]].
* The first battle is against the player's rival, who, as always, has chosen the starter Pokémon that weakens that of the player.
* The player and the rival now encounter [[Cyrus]] at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game. The player can also meet Cyrus at different venues such as the Eterna City statue.
* {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} will both appear on [[Spear Pillar]]. {{p|Giratina}} then phases into [[Pokémon universe|the dimension]] in front of [[Cyrus]].
* A new area known as the [[Ruined World]] (Japanese: やぶれたせかい ''Torn World'') is playable. It has floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. It doesn't follow the {{wp|Laws of Physics}}, making things like {{m|Surf|surfing}} down a waterfall going up possible. The camera angle switches between perspective and isometric views to suit the angle of the player. It also has moving platforms with jumpable gaps between them. Giratina, when here, will be in its Origin Forme and is also the only wild Pokémon located here.
* At least two new characters were added. One is [[Pluto]], a professor of [[Team Galactic]], and the other is a police officer spying on Team Galactic, using the codename "[[Handsome]]" (Japanese: ハンサム).
* A tag battle between the player and his or her {{ga|Pearl|rival}} against {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] takes place at the entrance to the {{si|Battle Frontier}} when the player first arrives there.
* [[Team Galactic]]'s plans for world domination and the layouts of their HQs, such as the one in Eterna, have been changed. In addition, they openly recognize their goal and are more openly villainous.
* Some of the [[Gym Leader]]s have been reordered: [[Fantina]] is now the third Gym Leader, [[Maylene]] is the fourth and [[Crasher Wake]] is the fifth.
* {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} no longer gives the player the [[Dowsing Machine]] or the [[Vs Seeker]] near the [[Route 206]] junction; instead he/she meets the player at the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]].
* The player is now able to challenge all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Sinnoh to rematches and the player's tag battle partners from throughout the game ([[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Marley]], [[Mira]], and [[Riley]]) are also able to be challenged in the [[Match Place]], a café in the [[Survival Area]]. They each have a team of five Pokémon, whose levels are between 61 and 66.
* The {{si|Elite Four}} increase their Pokémon's levels after the player visits the [[Battle Zone]] and re-challenges them. Their levels are now between 65 and 78.
*[[Team Galactic]] takes control over [[Stark Mountain]] under the command of [[Pluto]] and the player, with the help from [[Buck]], must defeat them. During this event [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] quit Team Galactic because Pluto does not share the same ideals as ex-boss [[Cyrus]].

===Gameplay changes===
* Giratina's cry will be heard when "Start" or "A" are pressed at the title screen, unlike in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} which just play the background music. It shares this trait with some previous generation games.
* The Wi-Fi area has been enhanced with the [[Wi-Fi Square]], which supports up to 20 people at a time. The new area seems to focus exclusively on mini-games, which include ''Rapid Wobbuffet'', where players hit a {{p|Wobbuffet}}, and ''Merry Mime Jr.'', where players can balance {{p|Mime Jr.}} on a ball.
* The [[Poffin]] making has been modified with a new feature involving a {{p|Swalot}}-shaped machine, into which [[Berry|Berries]] can be thrown. This can be done over Wi-Fi in the new [[Wi-Fi Square]].
* There is a new [[key item]] called the [[Battle Recorder]] (given by [[Handsome]] when the player first meets him in [[Jubilife City]]), which allows players to record battles in {{si|Battle Frontier}} and Wi-Fi, and share the records with other players over the [[GTS]]. Battle records can be rated by other players upon viewing, and the most popular battle records are displayed for all to see. Players can also take pictures of their [[PC]] boxes and share them with other players in a similar fashion.
* The [[GTS]] has incorporated an E-mail system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. Notification messages are sent to the player's actual E-mail address.
* The Sinnoh starters and their evolutions are now allowed in an expanded [[Amity Square]], making a total of 20 Pokémon allowed in the Square.
* Over local wireless, there is a new feature where the player and their friends can put their Pokémon eggs in and randomly swap.
* {{HM|05|Defog}} is now located inside the [[Solaceon Ruins]] instead of the [[Pastoria Great Marsh]].
* The player now receives {{HM|04|Strength}} from [[Riley]] on [[Iron Island]] instead of in the [[Lost Tower]].
* The player can now challenge other trainers in certain [[Pokémon Center]]s. The trainer(s) are located in front of the desk. These trainers change location everyday.
* The physical appearance of {{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]] and {{p|Shaymin}} in the [[Flower Paradise]] now requires the activation of the Nintendo Event, preventing players from walking through walls via [[cheating]] methods such as [[tweaking]] or using the [[Surf glitch]].
* In addition to the move tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new [[move tutors]] are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on [[Route 212]], and in the [[Survival Area]].
* In Platinum, when the player arrives at the [[Resort Area]], he/she will be shown into a house of his/her own. It can be then used as a secret base. It will, however, also be visited by others like the [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leaders]], [[Professor Rowan]], his assistant, the player's rival, and the [[Johanna|player's mom]].

====Obtainable Pokémon====
* 59 more Pokémon have been added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] to give it a grand total of 210 entries, with all non-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV now included, along with their pre-evolved forms and several other Pokémon. The added Pokémon, such as {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Giratina}}, are now available prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge.
* Giratina can appear both as Another Forme and Origin Forme in Platinum. It will appear in Origin Forme while in the [[Ruined World]], and in Another Forme while out of it. A [[Platinum Orb]] is required to transform it to its Origin Forme outside of the Ruined World.
* The [[ability]] of Origin Forme is {{a|Levitate}} and its [[Stat|base stats]] mirror those of Another Forme in that the offensive stats have been switched with their respective defensive stats.
*{{p|Regigigas}} is now found at level 1, making it the lowest-[[level]] non-glitch wild Pokémon in a game (not to mention the lowest-level non-glitch legendary in a game).
* Shaymin's new Forme is called ''Sky Forme'' and takes on a canine appearance. Its [[ability]] is {{a|Serene Grace}} and the form is focused on {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. It will be able to learn new moves like {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
* {{p|Shaymin}} will be able to change between its two forms via the use of the [[Glacidea Flower]] (Japanese: グラシデアのはな). This item will not work at [[Time#Times of day|night]] or if Shaymin is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}.
*{{p|Rotom}} has new forms as well. Each of the five forms is a Rotom that has possessed an electrical appliance. Despite having visual characteristics of other types, the five forms share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types, whereas their [[Stat|base stats]] are far higher. They also share the original Rotom's ability: {{a|Levitate}}. These Pokémon are not normally available and are therefore banned from official tournaments. The item to unlock these Pokémon in the game, the [[List of key items in Generation IV#Secret Key|Secret Key]], is currently being distributed at retail stores as well as via Wi-Fi until November 4, 2008.
* {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} will be catchable at level 30 with the help of an [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2008#Movie Regigigas, Japan, June 20-August 31, 2008|event]] {{p|Regigigas}} that has been distributed in Japan.
* The [[legendary birds]] can be found as roaming Pokémon after the [[National Dex|National Pokédex]] is obtained. They roam Sinnoh much like {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Cresselia}} do. The player has to talk to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Eterna City]] to trigger their appearance. They are all at level 60.
* [[Cynthia]] now gives the player a {{g|egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}} after the player has defeated the [[Galactic Eterna Building]].
* [[Bebe]] now gives the player an {{p|Eevee}} before the player receives the [[National Dex]]; Eevee can now be obtained from the first time the player arrives in [[Hearthome City]]. It is at level 20.
* A man in [[Veilstone City]] gives the player a level 25 {{p|Porygon}} as a gift.
* Manaphy, while still uncatchable in-game, is now required to obtain the National Dex. It can be added to the Sinnoh Dex from finding its picture in a book in the Trophy Garden.

===Map changes===
*A new {{si|Battle Frontier}} takes the place of the {{si|Battle Park}}. It has the {{si|Battle Tower}}, {{si|Battle Factory}}, {{si|Battle Castle}}, {{si|Battle Roulette}} and {{si|Battle Stage}} as venues.
*[[Twinleaf Town]] and nearby routes now have snow patches.
*[[Jubilife City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and some buildings have animated roof lights.
*The [[Global Trade Station]] in [[Jubilife City]] has been redesigned and now includes a bigger global terminal.
*An arch now represents the entrance to [[Floaroma Town]].
*Mist is now present in [[Eterna Forest]], but is not eligible for the move {{m|Defog}} to be used to clear it away.
*[[Eterna City]] has been refurbished with new foliage and pathways. Also the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] has had a complete redesign, inside and out.
*[[Route 206|Cycling Road]] has been redesigned and now has tunnel-like shelters in the middle of the Cycle Route.
*[[Hearthome City]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
*[[Amity Square]] has been completely remodeled. It now includes a small lake, more paths and more upper levels. The old buildings that previously inhabited Amity Square now contain Warp Panels which transport the player to the other old buildings within Amity Square.
*[[Lost Tower]] has had its color scheme changed and now has fog on three of its five floors, which can be cleared by {{HM|05|Defog}}.
*[[Solaceon Town]]'s houses have been remodeled and the [[Pokémon Daycare]] now has a trough filled with water and tent-like shelters.
*[[Veilstone City]] has been refurbished with new pathways. The [[Galactic Veilstone Building]] has been redesigned, inside and out. The [[Veilstone Department Store]] now has a basement.
*The [[Hotel Grand Lake]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
*[[Pastoria City]]'s houses have been remodeled and now also includes a board with a {{p|Croagunk}} on it which is located in front of the [[Great Marsh]].
*The [[Great Marsh]] has had its color scheme changed and has also had foliage changed and added.
*[[Celestic Town]]'s houses have been remodeled.
*[[Canalave City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses and library have also been remodeled.
*The player now needs to use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to access [[Lake Acuity]].
*The area of water to the south of [[Snowpoint City]] where the player can get a boat to the [[Battle Zone]] now contains a small amount of icebergs. These can also be seen in the ocean when the boat is crossing to the Battle Zone. The boat has also been redesigned, most likely due to the icebergs in the sea.
*[[Sunyshore City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses have been remodeled.
*Sinnoh's climate has changed drastically. Snow is now found as far south as [[Twinleaf Town]], whereas the [[Battle Zone]] is now warmer. Palm trees can be found in the Battle Zone.
*[[Stark Mountain]] now has more features of a {{wp|volcano}}, now showing crags and pits of lava giving it an overall more volcanic look.
*Veilstone Department Store now has a basement, in which contest items can be sold and bought. Berries and Lava Cookies can be bought as well.
*The entrance and exit of {{si|Victory Road}} have become wider, having a [[Poké Ball]] at the center of the arch.
*Oreburgh mine now has twin coal trasporters starting from the entrance and ending at the entrance to the last section of the mine.

==Connectivity==
*The game can connect automatically to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} once the player has access to a [[Pokémon Center]]. This game, however, is unable to connect with [[My Pokémon Ranch]], but is able to connect to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and to [[Generation III]] games. It is known that Nintendo plans to release a patch that will allow My Pokémon Ranch to be compatible. It is unknown if the patch will be for Japanese and other language versions of the software or if those outside of Japan will have to wait on their own versions of the patch.

==Trivia==
*This is the first game where a [[version mascot]]'s primary color is not the name of the game. However, while no color is especially dominant in {{p|Giratina}}'s color scheme, it has gray elements that the "Platinum" may refer to, and the names ''Giratina'' and ''Platina'' share the same word ending.
* Platinum is the only game thus far to have altered a [[regional Pokédex]].
* Platinum is the first game to be named after a metal since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, both Gold and Silver are also considered colors, making Platinum the first game named solely after a metal.
** It also makes [[Generation IV]] the first generation in which two game names have the same first initial in English ('''P'''earl and '''P'''latinum). However, other languages have had the same initial in their game names, with Spanish '''A'''zul and '''A'''marillo for Blue and Yellow and German '''S'''aphir and '''S'''maragd for Sapphire and Emerald. Coincidentally, all three of these are the respective second and third versions of their generation.
* Two of the mini-games feature [[Team Rocket]]'s Pokémon: {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}
* [[Sinnoh]]'s climate change in this game may be a reference to an effect of {{wp|Global Warming}}.
* According to {{wp|Famitsu}}, Pokémon Platinum is already the best-selling [[Nintendo DS]] game of all time.

'''Dialga''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアルガ''' ''Dialga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Dialga is the version mascot of [[Pokémon]] {{v|Diamond}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dialga is dinosaur-like, similar to {{p|Palkia}}, though it seems to be based off of a sauropod. It is mainly dark blue with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue spots. It has a somewhat wing-like structure on its back, and a crest on its head, resembling a type of dinosaur. Dialga also has long claws and a short tail.
====Gender differences====
Dialga is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Dialga has the ability to warp time.

Similar to most other {{type2|Dragon}}s, Dialga is capable of wielding various elemental attacks (except for {{t|Water}} attacks). Dialga can also utilize several {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Rock}}- and {{Type2|Steel}} moves. It is one of the few Pokémon that can use {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

Dialga's powers can be magnified by the [[Adamant Orb]].

Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Roar of Time}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] in Japan,as well as the Toys "R" Us and [[Nintendo]] World Store Darkrai, and {{p|Smeargle}} which can {{m|Sketch}} the move).

===Behavior===
Being that Dialga, like Palkia, primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study.

===Habitat===
Dialga lives in another dimension, and can only be summoned to the main Pokémon universe by using the [[Red Chain]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Dialga Statue.jpg|thumb|left|Dialga in the DP opening]][[Image:Dialga Movie10.JPG|right|thumb|230px|{{an|Dialga}} alongside {{an|Palkia}} in [[The Rise of Darkrai]].]]
{{an|Dialga}} appears in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] along with {{an|Palkia}}. It fights with {{an|Palkia}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, nearly destroying [[Alamos Town]].

This Dialga made another appearence in the [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin|eleventh movie]]. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{an|Giratina}}, who is mad that the battle that Dialga had with Palkia damaged its world.

Dialga's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''

Dialga also makes a cameo in the [[Together|Japanese version of the Diamond and Pearl theme song.]]

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon DP (Shigekatsu Ihara)|Pokémon DP]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. Oddly, Palkia does not receive a mention.

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

==Other appearances==

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|right|thumb|Dialga on Spear Pillar]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[Lake trio]] on the stage [[Spear Pillar]]. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off of its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal Dialga]] (Japanese: やみのディアルガ ''Dark Dialga''). In the future, because of the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]], Dialga has lost control of itself and has entered a state of self-preservation, keeping time frozen and refusing to let it flow properly. When the player and partner return from the future and arrive at the Tower, soon to collapse, they have to battle Dialga, having almost turned Primal, to put some sense into it and restore the Tower.

===Pokédex entries===

==Trivia==
* Dialga's US name, although many had already guessed it, was officially revealed on January 20th 2006, along with Palkia's name.
* Dialga has an astounding eleven resistances and one immunity, making it one of the most resistant Pokémon, second only to {{p|Magnemite}} and its two evolutions, although the aforementioned has more weaknesses as well. It is also tied in resistances and immunity with {{p|Empoleon}}.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon to have the ability to manipulate time, the first being {{p|Celebi}}.
* Dialga is the seventh tallest Pokémon and the tallest Generation IV Pokémon.
* Dialga is the only Pokémon with its [[type]] combination.
* Dialga is the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon that isn't weak to Dragon-type moves as of [[Generation IV]], due to the {{type2|Steel}}'s resistance to them.
* Despite being genderless in the main series games, Dialga is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Dialga, along with Palkia and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30, only topped by {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} with catch rates of 45.
* Diamond in several languages starts with "D", like Dialga.
* The spikes on the Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a [[Time Gears|time gear]].
* Dialga is the second Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series to feature an [[alternate coloration]] that is not its shiny coloration, the first being {{p|Kecleon}}.
*Dialga's Steel typing may reference the fact that diamond is the hardest mineral on earth.
* Dialga and {{p|Palkia}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be seen at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
* Intrestingly, Dialga can learn Two moves by Level up that happen to be the only types super effective against
Dialga. These two moves are {{m|Aura Sphere}} and {{|Earth Power}}.

===Origin===
Dialga is based after a {{wp|dinosaur}} with a {{wp|diamond}}. The dinosaur it is possibly based on is the largest dinosaur, known as {{wp|Amphicoelias}}. It was the longest, tallest, and biggest dinosaur in the world, hence the size of Dialga. The facial pattern could be based off of the makeup used by {{wp|King Diamond}}.

====Name origin====
The ''Dia'' in its name is derived from the word ''diamond'', even though the Japanese word for diamond is ダイヤモンド ''daiyamondo''. The "''ga''" part in its name may be a corruption of "''gon''", referring to its origin and type. Its name could also be a reference to a {{wp|Sundial|sun dial}}, which is used to tell the time, or a dial found on a clock. However, the Greek root "''dia''" can be translated to the word ''through'', and one can refer to Dialga as going "through" time.

==In other languages==

The '''Sunyshore Gym''' (Japanese: '''ナギサジム''' ''Nagisa Gym'') is the official [[gym]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. It is based on {{type2|Electric}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Volkner]]. [[Pokémon trainer|Trainers]] who defeat him receive the [[Badge#Beacon Badge|Beacon Badge]].

==In the games==
The Sunyshore Gym is a three room Gym where the main floor is made up of gigantic gears and clockwork suspending platforms operated by buttons. To get through, trainers need to rotate the platforms in a correct order to create a path. The Gym has exposed dynamos that use up a large amount of electrical power, prompting the town to renovate the pathways into solar energy collectors.

The '''Oreburgh Gym''' (Japanese: '''クロガネジム''' ''Kurogane Gym'') is the official [[gym]] of [[Oreburgh City]]. It is based on {{type2|Rock}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Roark]]. [[Pokémon trainer|Trainers]] who defeat him receive the [[Badge#Coal Badge|Coal Badge]].

==In the anime==
The Oreburgh Gym first appeared in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', when [[Paul]] challenged Roark. {{Ash}} watched this match, and in the next episode lost to Roark because his concentration was instead on besting Paul. After some heavy training in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' and some advice from Dawn, Ash re-challenged Roark in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched]]''. This time, he won the match, gaining his Coal Badge.

==In the games==
[[Image:Oreburgh City Gym -- Hyouta.png|thumb|left|Roark in the Oreburgh Gym]]
The Oreburgh Gym is a narrow building built of stone. Two paths exist, a raised path that avoids the trainers and a middle path that takes challengers straight through the gym. Roark waits on a raised hill at the end of the paths. Although only two trainers actually appear in the Gym, most of the miners in the [[Oreburgh Mine]] are also members who relax at the Gym in their free time.

Pokédex

2008-09-11T23:37:18Z

Midnight Ice: /* Platinum */

:''Zukan redirects here. For the Japanese figures named after the Pokédex, see [[Pokémon Zukan figures]].''
----
[[Image:AshPokedex1.PNG|right|thumb|240px|[[Professor Oak]] handing {{Ash}} his Pokédex.]]
A '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: ポケモン図鑑 ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'', sometimes also rendered as ポケモンずかん ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') is an invaluable tool to a {{pkmn|trainer}} in the {{g|world}}. It gives information about all [[Pokémon]] in the world that are contained in its database. In the {{pkmn|games}}, it lists the number of Pokémon seen and [[Captured Pokémon|caught]]. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, simply pointing it at a target Pokémon will give someone the Pokédex entry for that Pokémon. In both the anime and {{g|Special}}, the Pokédex also confers all the information shown by the interface in the games; that is, a Pokédex can display a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, [[level]], and [[move]]s. Pokédexes in the games, anime, and manga are not given to all trainers, but given to trainers of exceptional potential and skill. Just the same, anime Pokédexes take the place of the {{ga|trainer card}} in that they store the identification information of their owner. In the anime, {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} both received their Pokédexes from [[Prof. Oak]], much like their game counterparts {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}}. Ash was notorious for using his Pokédex early in his journey in situations where he had no idea what was going on, and was just as notorious for always being behind Gary in Pokédex entries.

In the Pokémon continuity, the Pokédex was invented by Professor Oak. When a young [[Professor Oak|"Sammy" Oak]] was accidentally warped to a future of his own time, {{Ash}} explains to him how the Pokédex works, unknowingly giving him an idea.

In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' it was mentioned that the Pokédex entries in Ash's Pokédex were written by [[Professor Westwood]] of the [[Seafoam Islands]].

Pokédex entries are typically only two- or three-sentence bits of information about the Pokémon referred to. In some events it gives background information on the habitat or activities of this Pokémon in the wild; at other times it gives other bits of information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. A typical entry would be one of {{p|Bulbasaur}}, which states:

"''A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon.''"

To date, there have been five different numbering systems used: the [[National Dex]], and various [[Regional Pokédex]]es.

==Kanto (Generation I)==
The first version of the Pokédex recorded data on the first 151 Pokémon, focusing on Pokémon mostly native to [[Kanto]]. It listed them in [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Dex number|number sequence]], and it recorded data on height, weight, number, [[species]], cry, and nesting area. In {{game|Yellow}}, the option to print Pokédex entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]] was added.

In the anime, the Pokédex model's program is referred to as Dexter, as well as the programs for most models of the Pokédex. When [[Misty]] got {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, Professor Oak updated this model with new software that included data on a handful of [[Johto]] Pokémon, and its voice gets redone. Its Japanese voice actor is 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]'', its English voice actor is [[Eric Stuart]] and its Brazilian voice actor is [[Wellington Lima]].

The numbering of Pokémon in this generation is the same as those in the National Dex. Therefore, see the first 151 Pokémon of [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number]].

==Johto==
[[Image:Johto_Pokedex.png|frame|right|The [[Generation II|second]]-generation Pokédex.]]
The second Pokédex had many improvements. Data on 251 species of Pokémon could be recorded. Pokémon could be listed in the Kanto (or National) order, a [[List of Pokémon by Johto Dex number|new order]] focusing on Johto, or [[List of Pokémon by name|alphabetically by name]]. It also included an Unown Dex that can be unlocked by capturing 5 different {{p|Unown}}. A new search option allowed users to find specific Pokémon by [[type]]. Entries were expanded to include a Pokémon's footprint (if it had feet). Also, the design of this Pokédex is markedly similar to that of Nintendo's [[Game Boy]], Game Boy Pocket, and [[Game Boy Color]].

In the anime, its Japanese voice actor is 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]'' and its English voice actor is [[Eric Stuart]].

For the numbering list introduced in this version of the Pokédex, see [[List of Pokémon by Johto Dex number]].

==Hoenn==
[[Image:Pokedex Hoenn Region.png|frame|right|The [[Hoenn]] region's Pokédex.]]
The third Pokédex could record data on [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|202 species of Pokémon]] native to the [[Hoenn]] region. An upgrade called the [[National Dex]] was unlocked if a trade with [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Kanto]] was made in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, or if the [[Elite Four]] were defeated in {{v2|Emerald}}, which would allow 386 species to be recorded. Pokémon could also be listed by [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|size]]. The search option was expanded to include the first letter of a name, as well as [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] of the Pokémon. The most interesting addition was size charts that compared [[the player|a 10-year old child]] to individual Pokémon in terms of height. This allowed trainers to get a better idea of how large individual Pokémon were, which often conflicted with depictions in the anime. The print option was removed, however, as no Game Boy Printer was made for the Game Boy Advance.

In the anime, this Pokédex model's program is referred to as Dextette instead of Dexter, and it has a female voice to match. Its Japanese voice actress is 林原めぐみ ''[[Megumi Hayashibara]]'', its English voice actress is [[Rachael Lillis]] and its Brazilian voice actors are different from [[AG001]] to [[AG040]] until Alex Minei voices it from [[AG041]] onwards and [[Márcio Marconato]] voices it from [[AG093]] to [[AG103]], then [[Wellington Lima]] voices it [[AG129]] onwards.

For the numbering list introduced in this version of the Pokédex, see [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number]].

==Kanto (Generation III)==
[[Image:Pokedex_FRLG.png|thumb|160px|right|[[Kanto]] region's Pokédex.]]
The fourth Pokédex could record data on 151 species of Pokémon native to the Kanto region. An upgrade called the National Dex was unlocked if the Elite Four were defeated, which would allow 386 species to be recorded. In addition to the improvements made in the Hoenn version, Pokémon were all organized into [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat categories]], where similar Pokémon were typically listed together on the same pages (such as {{p|Jynx}} and {{p|Mr. Mime}}, for instance), and Pokémon who are [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|cross-generation evolutions]] are also displayed next to each other, such as {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Steelix}}. Nest display was also expanded to include the [[Sevii Islands]].

In anime, this model comes in both red and yellow. Its Japanese voice actor is 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]'', its English voice actors are [[Eric Stuart]] ({{4Kids}}) and [[Bill Rogers]] ({{g|USA}}/[[TAJ Productions]]) and its Brazilian voice actor is [[Wellington Lima]].

For the regional Pokédex list, see the first 151 entries of [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number]].

==Sinnoh==
[[Image:Pokedex_Sinnoh_Region.jpg|thumb|170px|right|[[Sinnoh]] region's Pokédex.]]
The fifth Pokédex can naturally record data on the 151 Pokémon native to [[Sinnoh]], with the National Dex upgrade allowing for the 493 Pokémon available to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} to be recorded. Strangely, some of the Pokémon first encountered in [[Generation IV]] are not in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh Dex order]], such as the two new evolutions of {{p|Eevee}}. Nest display includes time of day as part of its functions now.

In the anime and {{g|Special}} manga, it seems that the color of the Pokédex casing is customizable. {{an|Dawn}} has a pink one, {{Ash}} and {{Special|Platina}} have a red one, {{Special|Diamond}} has a blue one, {{Special|Pearl}} has an orange one and [[Paul]] has a dark blue one. This Pokédex also has a female voice, by 川上とも子 ''[[Tomoko Kawakami]]'', by [[Michele Knotz]] in English, and by [[Leila Castro]] in Brazilian Portuguese.

Its appearance is similar to that of the [[Nintendo DS]], and it may have a touchscreen as well. The placement of buttons and other features suggest it is based on the newest revision, the [[Nintendo DS Lite]].

For the numbering list introduced in this version of the Pokédex, see [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number]].

This Pokédex, as shown in the anime by [[Paul]], is able to scan a Poké Ball to see what moves the Pokémon inside it can use.

In the anime, it was also shown by {{an|Dawn}} to be able to identify moves, as was the case with [[Dawn's Ambipom|Dawn's Aipom]]'s {{m|Double Hit}}.

===Platinum===
The sixth Pokédex, an expansion on the fifth, can naturally record data on 210 Pokémon, a majority native to Sinnoh, with the National Dex upgrade that allows for the recording of data on the 493 Pokémon known at this time.

Not much is currently known about this edition of the Pokédex, which is available to players of {{v2|Platinum}}.

==In Pokémon Special==

The Pokédex makes a signal when all three regional Pokédexes are close to each other. Another signal shows that they are being held by the correct owner, as seen in [[PS085]]. More usefully, they can display moves known by a Pokémon, and health that the Pokémon has, in a manner that looks identical to the battle screens in games. A feature included in {{game|Yellow}}, interacting with Pikachu to see its mood, was added to {{special|Red}}'s Pokédex.

==Trivia==
[[Image:AshPokedex2.PNG|right|thumb|250px|Ash's original Pokédex]]
*For [[DP002]], [[Professor Oak]]'s lecture is about the Sinnoh Pokédex. He writes this {{g|senryū}} about it: こまったら　ひらいてみよう　ポケモンずかん ''Komattara hiraite miyō, Pokémon zukan.'' "When troubled, let's open the Pokédex."
*In {{g|Super Contest}}s, there is a judge, who also serves as the {{wp|MC}}, named Dexter.
*Most of the Pokédexes appear similar to one of Nintendo's handhelds. The Johto Pokédex looks similar to a [[Game Boy Color]], the Hoenn Pokédex appears similar to the [[Game Boy Advance]], the Generation III Kanto Pokédex looks similar to a [[Game Boy Advance SP]], and the Sinnoh Pokédex looks like a [[Nintendo DS Lite]].
*All five of Ash's Pokédexes have been red, while others have had other colors. May had a yellow one in Kanto, Paul has a dark blue Pokédex and Dawn has a pink Pokédex.
*The Pokédex is both waterproof and voice sensitive.
*Pokédex entries in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]] are identical to those in {{2v2|Red|Blue}} for the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, while those for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] are identical to those from the original {{2v2|Red|Green}}. Likewise, FireRed's entries for {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} are identical to the entries found in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]], and the same is true of Pokémon LeafGreen and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]].
*The Kanto regional Pokédex and the Sinnoh regional Pokédex have 151 members, the smallest of all regional Pokédexes. The largest regional Pokédex is the Johto regional Pokédex, with 251 members.

Trainer Card (game)

2008-09-11T23:34:52Z

Midnight Ice:

[[Image:Trainercard.png|thumb|right|[[Red (game)|Red]]'s trainer card.]]
A '''trainer card''' in the [[Pokémon games]] is the card that displays much of the information about a trainer. They seem to have appeared in all four generations of Pokémon games, however, they are only officially known as trainer cards in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]].

Several things are shared among the trainer cards, including displaying the trainer's name, their [[trainer ID number]], how much [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] they have on them, how many Pokémon they have in their [[Pokédex]], and the amount of time they have been playing their game.

In [[Generation III]], a back side was introduced that displayed such data as how many times a player had played in link battles, won and lost, traded, and even how long they had been playing when they first defeated the [[Elite Four]] and [[Pokémon champion|Champion]] to enter the [[Hall of Fame]]. The trainer card also changes colors after meeting certain conditions, such as defeating the Elite four. In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], a trainer's [[party]] could be photographed in the [[Rocket Game Corner]] in [[Celadon City]] and put on the back as well.

When [[Generation IV]] was released, the ability to keep track of the precise date on which the game was begun and the date and time at which the Elite Four were defeated was added. An area for the trainer's signature was also included. In addition, when communicating in the union room, other players can ask to view the players trainer card, which has a picture of a random trainer class of the same gender as the player; this class can be changed by talking to a man in the Oreburgh City Pokémon center. Once again, the trainer card changes colors once certain conditions are met: defeating the [[Elite Four]], a 100-victory chain at the {{si|Battle Tower}}, winning a Master Rank [[Super Contest]] in any one of the five categories, capturing 50 flags [[The Underground|underground]], and obtaining data on all Pokémon in the [[National Dex]] excluding {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

The trainer card also changes color according to the amount of stars imprinted upon it. Lacking stars altogether, the trainer card is the default red. With one star, the trainer card turns blue. After achieving two of the listed conditions, the trainer card turns bronze; with three, silver; with four, gold; and with all five conditions met, the trainer card turns black.

In [[Generation I]], {{Gen|II}}, and {{Gen|III}}, the [[badge]]s that had been earned were displayed on the bottom of the card. However, with the bottom screen of the [[Nintendo DS]] adding to the display area in Generation IV, an actual badge case was added where trainers could actually polish their badges using the stylus.

==Frontier Pass==
In [[Pokémon Emerald]], a player can upgrade their trainer card to a Frontier Pass upon reaching the [[Battle Frontier]]. The Frontier Pass shows a player's [[symbol]]s and [[Battle Point]]s, allows players to view a map of the Battle Frontier, view a recorded match saved at a Battle Frontier facility except for the [[Battle Pike]] and [[Battle Pyramid]], or look at the standard trainer card.

==In the anime==
Trainer cards do not appear in the anime; trainers are instead identified via their [[Pokédex]]. Each has another license, called the [[Pokémon trainer's license]].
