Moltensnow: /* Number of planets */ new section

== Article ==

This entire article is based off of interperations of vague Sinnoh myths, which often don't name specific Pokemon when talking about them. I'm going to add to the article that this is based off of fan interperation of Sinnoh myths and is not officially part of GameFreak's Pokemon canon, unless someone can find an in-game source that all of this is true. [[User:Randomspot555|Randomspot555]] 23:54, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

== Creation ==

Someone should add the myths from the Hoenn region. I know this article is all based on interpretation from he game, but in order to create the best article possible, all the information available should be included.

It could be assumed that, after Arceus created Dialga and Palkia, and after they created space and time, that Kyogre and Groudon created the oceans and the land. This can be determined from the storyline of the Gen III games. It has been a while since I have played them, so I don't have all the exact details and supporting "evidence", but I think it would make a great contribution.

== Not a stub! ==

There are some articles on here that have clearly been upgraded from their stubbiness, and this article is one of them. Could somebody remove the tag, as I can't do it myself. [[User:Ztobor|Ztobor]] 03:27, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

== Number of planets ==

This article incorrectly states that there are two known planets in the Pokemon universe, but in [[AG081]], [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14131518/planets.png multiple planets can be seen].

'''Caitlin''' (Japanese: '''カトレア''' ''Cattleya'') is a {{pkmn|master}} {{type2|Psychic}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Unova]] [[Elite Four]]. She is also affiliated with the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} that appeared in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

==In the games==
In {{3v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, Caitlin is the employer of [[Castle Valet Darach]] and oversees his [[Battle Castle]] battles. She is responsible for determining how much CP the player should receive depending on the outcome of the battle.

In {{v2|Black and White|s}}, Caitlin appears as a member of the [[Elite Four]] of [[Unova]]; she traveled to the region alone in order to develop her skills further. It is revealed that she possesses some sort of psychic powers, and that in the past, she had an explosive temper that would erupt if she lost a battle causing her psychic powers to cause a lot of damage. This is the reason why {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}} fought in her place in [[Generation IV]]. However, she gains control of her powers before [[Generation V]].

She later appears in a villa that she is lending to [[Cynthia]]. She also mentions her time at the [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)#Battle Castle|Battle Castle]] while in the villa.

===Quotes===
===={{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}====
*After winning a battle in the Battle Castle
:''"... Darach! CP for this Trainer at once!"''

===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
=====Initial fight=====
*Before battle
:''"Who are you? How impudent you are to disturb my sleep. Hmf... You appear to possess a combination of strength and kindness. Very well. Make your best effort not to bore me with a yawn-inducing battle. Clear?"''

*During battle (initial nonlethal strike)
:''"I get the feeling a wonderful time is about to start. I'm excited!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Even at a time like this, I should stay cool and collected..."''
*During battle (less than half HP)
:''"For the sake of the Pokémon that believe in me, I will never give up."''

*When defeated
:''"As a Trainer, you are both excellent and elegant. Your Pokémon have class. I am very pleased to have battled you."''

*After being defeated
:''"You haven't faced all of the members of the Elite Four yet, have you? Don't concern yourself about me. Go on ahead."''

*General afterword
:''"In the past, when I battled, the force of my emotions shook me greatly. When my power awoke, I came close to destroying everything around me. That weak person no longer exists... Still, sometimes, my determination fails. Always, I aspire to wrap up a victory with elegance and grace. I invite you to be my opponent again in the future, if you wish."''

*If defeated last
:''"Somehow, you managed to defeat the entire Elite Four of the Pokémon League. Check the statue in the center of the plaza for the way to the Champion's room."''
[[File:Platinum Caitlin.png|right|thumb|Art from Pokémon Platinum]]

=====Rematch=====
*Before battle
:''"Who's there? Who is so uncouth as to disturb my sleep? Hmf... It's you again. Still, you possess that combination of kindness and strength. Yet you seem stronger than before... Do be sure not to bore me with a snooze-inducing battle, is that clear?"''

*During battle (initial nonlethal strike)
:''"A wonderful time is about to start. I like this moment..."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"I will stay cool and collected, even though this isn't going well..."''
*During battle (less than half HP)
:''"I will not give up...for the sake of my Pokémon that believe in me."''

*When defeated
:''"As you have always been...or even more than ever...you are an elegant and excellent Trainer. Your Pokémon also have class. I am very pleased to have battled you."''

*After being defeated
:''"Alas! Even with the knowledge and skill passed down in my family of Trainers, I still can't win. The reason I came here in the first place was to encounter Trainers like you..."''

*General afterword
:''"In the past, my untrained heart made my power run wild. I was forbidden to battle. All I craved then was to experience the pure excitement of battling like this. Hee hee... Although I'm embarrassed, I can't help smiling right now."''

*If defeated last
:''"You have defeated the Pokémon League's Elite Four. You have earned the right to proceed to the Champion's room. Making an entrance is not the point. Once you're there, you'll need to unleash your power to the fullest!"''

=====Cynthia's villa=====
:''"Having everything go your way is the road to disillusionment. Knowing the difference between what's impossible and what's possible... I used to know someone who talked about that a lot."''
:''"No matter how hard I try, I cannot defeat Cynthia. Before, I would have exploded with rage. Now, I have the tranquility to reflect on my performance to see how I can improve."''
:''"Tell me something. Are you familiar with Battle Castles? You can find them in Johto and Sinnoh, so challenge them to improve yourself."''
:''"This is my villa. I have villas all over the world, and I allow Cynthia to use them. You are welcome to come and play whenever you wish."''
:''"Having no psychic powers at all is better than having psychic powers you can't control."''

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Caitlin Pt Adventures.png|thumb|left|Caitlin in the ''Platinum'' chapter]]Caitlin appeared alongside her valet Darach in the {{chap|Platinum}} of ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]''. She first appeared when she misheard Looker referring to {{adv|Platinum}} as "Lady" as talking to her. When Looker tried to tell her about the mistake, her Gallade immediately attacked him, stripping him down to his underwear. She later watched Platinum and Darach battle at the Battle Castle and scolded Darach when he was defeated.

|epname=
|desc={{p|Gallade}} is Caitlin's only known Pokémon and is also her bodyguard, protecting Caitlin from any possible attackers. He first appeared when he attacked [[Looker]] after he mistook Looker for an attacker when he stepped too close to Caitlin. Gallade was later used against Platinum in the Battle Castle under the control of Darach where it managed to defeat two of Platinum's Pokémon before being defeated by her Empoleon.

Gallade's known moves are {{m|Slash}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}}, and {{m|Night Slash}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Caitlin is the second [[Elite Four]] member who was introduced in an earlier generation and then attained the title in a later generation. [[Koga]] was the first, being a [[Gym Leader]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]], then becoming a member of its Elite Four in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].
** Unlike Koga, however, Caitlin was never able to be battled herself, with {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}} doing the honors for her.
** Also unlike Koga, she was previously encountered in regions that are nowhere near where she is an Elite Four member, whereas Koga, being of the [[Indigo Plateau]] Elite Four, is still located in his home region of Kanto.
* Caitlin, [[Lance]], [[Koga]] and [[Bruno]] are the only Elite Four members who have appeared in more than one generation.
** Caitlin is the only one who is not a member of the [[Indigo Plateau]] Elite Four.
* If Caitlin is considered a Frontier Brain, she is the only one among them to share her name with other Trainers that can be battled in the game.
* Caitlin dresses in the Japanese {{wp|Gyaru|姫ギャル}} ''princess gal'' style.
* A minor character in the Battle Castle mentions that Darach has feelings for Caitlin, but refuses to show these emotions to her.
* Caitlin has only appeared in games which feature a Psychic-type Elite Four member: she is paired with Darach in {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, where [[Will]] and [[Lucian]], respectively, are Elite Four members, and appears herself as a Psychic-type Elite Four member in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Caitlin is the only character in Black and White who is either a Gym Leader or an Elite Four member who does not use a [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]] in either battle.
* Caitlin is the only member of the Elite Four (not including Champions) who has more than three kana in her name.
* Caitlin's Reuniclus is the only Pokémon that does not know {{m|Shadow Ball}} in the first battle with her.
** Her Sigilyph is also the only Pokémon she uses in her first battle that doesn't know an {{type|Electric}} move.
