Mizu Torrent: New section: Lol?

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! [[User:Tesh|'''TESHIGIGAS''']] {{ani|486}} 18:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

History of Pokémon

Mizu Torrent: /* Other games */

:''For a history of events in Pokémon canon, please see [[history of the Pokémon world]] for game events. Alternatively, see [[timeline of events in the anime]] for anime events.''
----
The '''history of Pokémon''' spans nearly a decade from when work began officially on the first game to now. It started simply enough as a hobby of [[Satoshi Tajiri]], who as a child had a fondness for catching insects and tadpoles near his home in suburban Tokyo. Over time, Tajiri decided to put his idea of catching creatures into practice because it would give children the same thrill as he had.

With the help of [[Ken Sugimori]] and other friends, Tajiri formed [[Game Freak]] and much later the design studio known as [[Creatures]]. In 1975, the precursor to Pokémon was serialized in manga form as [[Capsule Monsters]]; however, the manga was unsuccessful and was discontinued. In 1991, Tajiri discovered the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Link cable|Game Boy Link Cable]] gave him the image of insects traveling along the wire. After several failed attempts at pitching Capsule Monsters to [[Nintendo]], Tajiri's new friend [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched it to the company, and Nintendo began to fund the project, spending six years developing the games that would become a worldwide sensation. Before the first Pokémon games were released in Japan in 1996, sprites of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} appeared in Game Freak's [[Game Boy Camera]] in 1995. Around this time, Nintendo decided to change the name "Capsule Monsters" to "Pocket Monsters."

== Generation I ==
The first [[Pokémon games]], [[Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon Green]] came onto the [[Game Boy]] scene in Japan on February 27, 1996, which was the fulfillment of Satoshi Tajiri's dream and allowed people of all ages to catch, train and trade 151 creatures and become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Due to high sales, Pokémon Red and Green were swiftly followed up with [[Pokémon Blue]], which had improved graphics and sounds.

North America received Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue on September 30th, 1998, and soon everywhere else began to play the games on the Game Boy. Plans soon started for a game based on the popular [[Pokémon anime|anime]] and [[Pokémon Yellow]] was released September 12th, 1998 in Japan, October 25th, 1999 in North America and Europe.

Pokémon Yellow allowed trainers to take on the role of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and travel through [[Kanto]] with anime-style graphics for each Pokémon. The game followed the anime's course of events and Pokémon soared to new heights of popularity as the 20th century came to a close.

== Generation II ==

On November 21st 1999, Nintendo of Japan released [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] for the then-new Game Boy Color. This time, [[Pokémon trainer]]s were invited to the land of [[Johto]], where 100 more Pokémon were waiting to be captured. The new games enhanced the Pokémon gaming experience by creating:

* [[Gender]]s for most Pokémon, which allowed for [[breeding]]
* A [[Time|clock]], which allowed for differing events in the day, night, and morning, and [[days of the week]]
* Money storage with the player's mother
* [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|New evolutions to old Pokémon]]
* The [[happiness]] system

Many other features made the games different than their predecessors. Trainers could also return to [[Kanto]] and face the [[Gym Leader]]s that existed in the original games. Pokémon Gold and Silver made its way to North America on October 11th, 2000.

Like Pokémon Yellow, a third version was made in Japan called [[Pokémon Crystal]] and was released December 14th, 2000 in Japan and July 21st, 2001 in North America. Pokémon Crystal had several changes made. Many Pokémon changed locations and the Pokémon known as {{p|Suicune}} was the title character and the focus of the plot. This was also the first portable Pokémon game that featured animations for every Pokémon. Trainers in Japan received an added bonus of receiving the Pokémon known as {{p|Celebi}} through a wireless link, and also being able to trade wirelessly using a cellphone and the Mobile Adapter. Trainers on both sides of the Pacific Ocean were, for the first time, allowed to choose their character's gender.

== Generation III ==

A major overhaul of the game series occurred when Pokémon arrived on the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 21st, 2002 when [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]] came onto the scene. Trainers found themselves in the southern land called [[Hoenn]] where 135 new Pokémon were waiting to be discovered. The games reached North America on March 18th 2003 and had many new features.

* [[Natures]] for each Pokémon, along with the reform of [[EVs]] and [[DVs]]
* [[Pokémon Contests]]
* More detailed [[weather conditions]]
* New villains: [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]
* Pokémon [[abilities]]
* Not backwards compatible with earlier generations

Not finished with the Hoenn story, Game Freak developed a third version to go with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, called [[Pokémon Emerald]]. This game was released in North America on May 1st, 2005, and in Japan on September 16th, 2004. Emerald features the same wireless connection as in FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as a return to Hoenn with many new features, including:

* Rebattling gym leaders
* [[Battle Frontier]]
* Non-alignment with [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]
* Both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} are catchable
* Animations for all Pokémon, like Pokémon Crystal

=== Generation III remake of Generation I ===

This generation also saw the return of [[Kanto]] in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], where trainers could once again travel through Kanto with enhanced graphics and gameplay. The games also featured a wireless connection and a new area, the [[Sevii Islands]]. Many of these were home to Johto Pokémon unavailable in other games of this generation. This game was released January 29th, 2004 in Japan and September 9th, 2004 in North America.

== Generation IV ==
The fourth generation, already out in Japan, the United States, Australia, and Europe, and eagerly awaited in the rest of the world, features [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]. These two games were released in Japan on September 28, 2006, and in North America on April 22, 2007. Bringing back some of the features lost between [[Generation II|Generations II]] and [[Generation III|III]], such as the day/night cycle, as well as adding many new evolutions and pre-evolutions to existing Pokémon, D/P is a wonderful addition to the series. There are also new Pokémon without any connection to the previous ones, as there always are. The Diamond and Pearl anime has already started in Japan and in North America.

*Gender differences
*More detailed [[Pokédex]] information
*New villains: [[Team Galactic]]
