The [[Pokémon]] franchise (Hindi: '''पोकेमॉन''' (formerly '''पोकेमोन'''), Tamil: '''பொகெமொன்''', Telugu: '''పోకీమాన్''', Bengali: '''পোকেমন''', Urdu: '''پوکيمون''') made its debut in the '''{{wp|Indian subcontinent}}''' in 2003, with the broadcast of the [[EP001|first animated series episode]] in both English and Hindi on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} and {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Cartoon Network Pakistan}}. [[#Cartoon Network and Pogo TV|CN India and its sister channels]] also dubbed the animated series into Tamil and Telugu.

Since 2014, a second production of new Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali dubs has aired on {{wp|Hungama TV}} and its [[#Disney India|various sister channels]]. These dubs are also available on the official Indian [[YouTube]] channels.

==Localization==
{{main|List of Hindi Pokémon names}}
The [[Pokémon games]] are mostly available in English. [[Pokémon Smile]], [[Pokémon UNITE]], and [[Pokémon GO]] are the only Pokémon games to be localized into Hindi, though Hindi language support in Pokémon UNITE was later removed as of December 4, 2025.<ref>[https://unite.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/important-notice-for-players-using-turkish-russian-or-hindi/ Pokémon UNITE | Important Notice for Players Using Turkish, Russian, or Hindi]</ref>

The English names for Pokémon are used in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali, written in the {{wp|Devanagari|Devanāgarī}}, {{wp|Tamil script|Tamil}}, {{wp|Telugu script|Telugu}}, {{wp|Bengali–Assamese script|Bengali}} scripts, respectively. During the launch of Hindi-language support in Pokémon GO on September 15, 2023, many Pokémon were given [[List of Hindi Pokémon names|new localized Hindi names]].<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/hindi-availability-september-2023 Hindi language support for Pokémon GO! Celebrate with special events!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20231030054622/https://pokemongolive.com/post/hindi-availability-september-2023 archived])</ref><ref name="JourneyOfOneDreamHindi">[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2023-09-16/pokemon-goes-desi-celebrates-india-by-launching-pokemon-go-in-hindi-with-niantic/.202452 Pokémon Goes Desi, Celebrates India by Launching Pokémon GO in Hindi with Niantic] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230917092528/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2023-09-16/pokemon-goes-desi-celebrates-india-by-launching-pokemon-go-in-hindi-with-niantic/.202452 archived])</ref> Following the relaunch of the official Pokémon website on September 25, 2025, [[The Pokémon Company]] announced that these localized Hindi names would be retired in favor of transcriptions of their English names to unify Pokémon names across India.<ref>[https://in.portal-pokemon.com/topics/pokemon_names_unified_across_india/ Pokémon Names Unified Across India | Latest Topics | The official Pokémon Website in India]</ref>

The [[Pokémon animated series]] has undergone dubbing primarily into Hindi, with the same dub being used for the Urdu feed as both languages are {{wp|Hindustani language|mutually intelligible}}. Additional dubbing has taken place in Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali. Furthermore, the English dub of the animated series is also accessible. The Hindi dub of [[The Journey of One Dream]] was the first animated work to use the localized Hindi names for Pokémon, while {{OBP|Pokémon Horizons: The Series|season}} was the first main series season to do so.<ref name="JourneyOfOneDreamHindi"/><ref name="HorizonsEvent"/> Apart from Pokémon names, each dub inconsistently switches between the English names and direct translations for other Pokémon-related terminology, such as names of moves, Abilities, and items.

Most official [[Pokémon merchandise]] is available in English, as it is imported from Europe or the Americas rather than being localized.{{fact}}

==Pokémon video games==
[[Pokémon games]] and some [[Pokémon merchandise]], as well as other [[Nintendo]] products such as consoles and games, are available on online retail stores.

In the past, most games in Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka were sold by the Japanese Nintendo division (and by extension Nintendo of America). In Afghanistan, Nintendo Europe dealt with sales<ref>[http://www.nintendo.com/corp/distributors.jsp Nintendo - Distributors] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20080304201947/http://www.nintendo.com/corp/distributors.jsp archived])</ref> until 2021, when distribution halted in that country due to the {{wp|Fall of Kabul (2021)|invasion of Kabul}}.

In early 2000s, Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color weren't officially available in India and only possible way to play games was from gray market.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20211202145849/https://www.financialexpress.com/archive/indian-gaming-market-remains-a-grey-area/48954/</ref> Around mid-2000s, South East Asian distributor Active Boeki established small distributon network for Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance, but results were poor. From September 30, 2008 to late 2012, Wii and Nintendo DS was distributed by Samurai Electronics and HCL Infosystems<ref>[https://www.rediff.com/getahead/2008/sep/16wii.htm Nintendo Wii and DS to launch in India on September 30] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20080916175348/https://www.rediff.com/getahead/2008/sep/16wii.htm archived])</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20081222052720/http://www.hclinfosystems.in/pro_digi.htm</ref>.

====Cartoon Network and Pogo TV====
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|150px|Cartoon Network India and Pakistan logo]]
[[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] premiered on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} on May 12, 2003 as a part of its {{wp|Toonami}} block.<ref name="PokemonDebut" /> Following the first season, [[S02|Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] made its Indian debut in late 2003 and ended its run in mid-2004. In the same year, [[S03|Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]] and [[S04|Pokémon: Johto League Champions]] premiered on Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network sold DVDs of Pokémon in Hindi dub middle in 2004. A separate {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Cartoon Network}} feed affiliated with Cartoon Network India was launched for the Pakistani audience in 2004, and was also later made available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Due to this affiliation, both channels broadcast the animated series simultaneously. With [[S05|Pokémon: Master Quest]], Cartoon Network India introduced two additional dubs, Tamil and Telugu.<ref name="MasterQuestHindiTamilTelugu" /> The [[original series]] concluded its first complete run in mid-2005.

The first two seasons of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] and [[S07|Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]], made their South Asian debut in 2006.<ref name="ToonamiGameOn" /> While 2008 marked the first run for [[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]] and [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] in the respective territories. Unlike its predecessors, the ninth season aired on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut.

Furthermore, Cartoon Network introduced a one-hour block, ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon'', that aired reruns from the first seven seasons.

The [[S10|first season]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' premiered in Pakistan on November 9, 2009, making it the first season to air on the network before its debut on Cartoon Network India, which aired it a week later. Cartoon Network Pakistan skipped 23 episodes, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', due to unknown reasons and wrapped up the season in mere five weeks. However, the episodes were aired in their correct order during reruns. In early 2011, after an eight-year run on Cartoon Network India, the channel dropped Pokémon animated series after finishing [[S11|Pokémon DP: Battle Dimension]]'s first run.

[[File:Pogo logo.png|thumb|150px|right|Pogo TV logo]]
Later on, the animated series was picked up by Cartoon Network India's sister channel, {{wp|Pogo (TV channel)|Pogo}}. The channel aired [[S12|Pokémon DP: Galactic Battles]] and [[S13|Pokémon DP: Sinnoh League Victors]] in 2011. However, ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'' were skipped and aired later during reruns. After Pokémon Season 13's first run pogo removed tamil audio feed in Pokémon on October 25, 2011. In 2013, Pogo premiered the [[S14|fourteenth season]] of the animated series and some creative changes were made along with it, including new voice actors for the [[narrator]] and [[Delia Ketchum]] and several [[move]]s retained their English names. ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' were skipped, but they were later broadcast during reruns.

[[File:Pokémon BW logo India.png|thumb|150px|left|Alternate logo for the BW series]]
On June 27, 2014, {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} announced through [https://www.facebook.com/cartoonnetwork.india its official Facebook page] that Pokémon would be returning to Cartoon Network. The channel began airing [[S14|Pokémon: Black & White]] until ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics]]'', from July 2 to August 6, 2014. Pokémon: Black & White premiered on Cartoon Network Pakistan in the same year. During 2014, Cartoon Network India introduced several blocks like PokéHours, Poké-New Year, Karo Haasil to promote Pokémon: Black & White to audiences. It later finished the season's run by airing it at a late-night time slot. CN India also introduced an alternate logo for the series, which was used for promos but not within the episodes themselves.

====Disney India====
[[File:Hungama TV.png|thumb|right|150px|Hungama TV logo]]
Around the beginning of 2014, {{wp|Disney India|Disney}} bought the rights to the Pokémon animated series. However, Disney did not acquire the rights for the previous dubs, so the animated series was re-dubbed. The re-dubs have more {{wp|Hinglish}} words and sentences that the Cartoon Network dub, mirroring the recent trends in spoken Hindi in urban India.

[[File:Pokémon logo Southeast Asia.png|thumb|left|150px|Red Pokémon logo used for some seasons]]
With ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', Hungama TV began airing the [[original series]] on May 19, 2014. Unlike Cartoon Network and Pogo, since Hungama TV has no English audio feed, the animated series aired only in Hindi. Starting with [[S02|the second season]], the channel began to include the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment in episodes. As with the Cartoon Network airings, several episodes were skipped or aired out of order. Starting from [[S03|the third season]], the channel also started using [[Media:Pokémon logo Southeast Asia.png|a red logo]] for Pokémon, instead of [[Media:Pokémon logo English.png|the yellow one]] used internationally. Some episodes of the third season were aired with additional Tamil and Telugu dubs, but not all episodes were dubbed in those languages until [[S04|Johto League Champions]] started. From ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' to ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'', Hungama TV often skipped parts of the episode before the [[title card]], which were later restored during reruns on Disney XD. With [[S05|the fifth season]], Hungama TV aired the animated series continuously until ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar]]'' in June 2015. Disney XD began airing reruns of episodes that had already aired on Hungama TV with the first 10 episodes of [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] on August 7, 2016.

Although Disney XD India had previously aired the first seven seasons after Hungama TV, new episodes moved to Disney XD India with episodes of [[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]] until ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' from May 7, 2018 to May 31, 2018.

:''Main articles: [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes]], [[List of Tamil Pokémon themes]], [[List of Telugu Pokémon themes]] and [[List of Bengali Pokémon themes]]
Like most dubs based on the English dub, the Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs under both Cartoon Network and Disney generally dub the [[List of English opening themes|original English openings]] into the respective language. Some songs used in episodes have also been dubbed.

From the middle of the second run of the season, Cartoon Network replaced the opening {{so|Black and White}} with an original Hindi opening named {{OBP|Pokémon: Black & White|Hindi song|Pokémon: Black & White Song Video}}. Cartoon Network and Pogo also created original songs for promos.

Hungama TV used an original {{OBP|Pokérap|Hindi song|Hindi PokéRap}} as the ending theme for the initial seasons and movies. Similar PokéRaps were also created as promos for upcoming seasons, including four live action raps made to promote the show as a whole.

Hungama TV normally skips the opening and ending themes of the movies entirely. In a few instances, the instrumental version of the theme is retained; for example, a portion of [[Battle Frontier (Japanese song)|Battle Frontier (Movie Version)]] on a loop served as the opening theme for the dub of the [[M08|eighth movie]] and an instrumental version of [[This is a Beautiful World]] as the ending theme to the [[M11|eleventh movie]].

For the release of the first 21 movies on [[#Voot/JioCinema|Voot Kids]] on October 15, 2021, all deleted scenes, including the opening and ending themes from the earlier movies, were restored. Since some movies under Disney use the Japanese version as the source instead of the English version, the themes for those movies are based on the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese themes]] instead. The Japanese openings and endings of the [[M01|first]] and [[M02|second]] movies were dubbed into Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, while the themes for the remaining movies are all left undubbed, with some of them using an instrumental version of the respective themes, and others keeping the Japanese or English vocals intact.

The Hindi version of the [[M17|seventeenth movie]] released on Voot Kids used the Hindi versions of [[We Will Be Heroes]], [[Battle Cry - (Stand Up!)]] and [[We Will Carry On!]] as the opening theme, while the Tamil and Telugu versions used an instrumental version of [[Pokémon Theme (Version XY)]] as the opening. However, the version of the movie aired on Marvel HQ had an instrumental version of Pokémon Theme (Version XY) as the opening theme for the Hindi dub as well.

For the Hindi dubs of movies released on Netflix, the [[M22|twenty-second movie]] had the themes dubbed into Hindi while the [[M23|twenty-third movie]] had themes left intact in English. The Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali dubs of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' released on [[YouTube]] left the English opening themes intact as well.

For the dubs of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', original soundtracks were composed by the duo {{wp|Vishal-Shekhar}} with vocals in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu by {{wp|Bollywood}} artists {{wp|Armaan Malik}} for the opening theme [[Let's Get Started]] and {{wp|Shirley Setia}} for the ending theme [[Boom Kaboom]].<ref name="HorizonsEvent"/> The Bengali release of the series featured the opening and ending themes dubbed into Bengali for the first time, with these using the same themes as the other language dubs but with different singers. The English dub of the series on the South Asia ENG channel is released with the theme [[Becoming Me]] that is used internationally, rather than [[We Go (English Ver.)]] that is used by the Asia ENG YouTube channel.

The [[Pokémon Kids TV]] YouTube channel has released [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9f1RKBJr1142mrioEfp0_37lXqhg8NDw&si=Fhr9EgfsSNzTjRVU Hindi versions] of various Pokémon songs aimed at younger children.

A new original song, [[Imma Be Your Pokémon|Imma Be Your PoKéMoN]] by Indian rapper {{wp|Badshah}}, was released on YouTube other streaming platforms on January 31, 2025.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14XKptV5a1/ 🔥 "Imma Be Your Pokémon" Music Video is Live Now! 🔥 Watch Pokémon groove to the beats of Badshah. ✨] - Pokémon India on Facebook</ref>

Monarch Satoshi: /* Air dates */ Reply

== Air dates ==

According to the BBC schedule, this episode is set to release on October 28, 2025, in the UK. So why does this article say it will release on October 27? The same goes for the next six episodes; they are all scheduled to release later, not on October 27. [[User:Monarch Satoshi|Monarch Satoshi]] ([[User talk:Monarch Satoshi|talk]]) 11:10, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

:Episodes are released in batches on-demand on BBC iPlayer on or around the same day the first episode airs, even though they only air once daily on CBBC. [[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 12:02, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

== Episode count ==

This season hasn't even started airing in English yet, so why does the article say it will have 47 episodes? Has that been officially confirmed?

[[User:Monarch Satoshi|Monarch Satoshi]] ([[User talk:Monarch Satoshi|talk]]) 19:14, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

:The episode count comes from the BBC iPlayer / CBBC schedule, which lists the episodes as "1/47" and so on. This was also how the episode counts for the first two seasons were initially listed, which later turned out to be correct. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Super]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|Pool13]] 05:42, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

(Japanese: '''メガボルテージ''' ''Mega Voltage'') is the fifth arc of {{aniseries|HZ}} that began airing on April 11, 2025 and concluded on September 19, 2025. The arc is set one year after the battle at [[Laqua]] and focuses on the grown-up versions of [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]]. The arc introduces [[Uruto]], a new companion with his {{p|Sableye}}, and features [[Mega Evolution]] as a central element, including Roy's {{Shiny}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} and Uruto's {{p|Sableye}}.

The arc began with a one-hour special on April 11, 2025, and airs on [[TV Tokyo]].

The arc's opening theme is [[GET BACK]] performed by {{wp|Yuzu (band)|Yuzu}}, and the ending theme is [[Ready Go]] performed by {{wp|ME:I}}.

==Plot==
The arc takes place one year after the events at Laqua, with [[Liko]] attending [[Indigo Academy]] while [[Roy]] continues his adventures with [[Captain Pikachu]]. When Roy discovers information about Pokémon exhibiting abnormal behavior, he begins investigating, while being followed by [[Uruto]] and his {{p|Sableye}}. The investigation reveals that Laquium, which was supposedly eliminated, is causing Pokémon to go berserk, including a {{p|Slaking}} that Roy and Uruto witness in the forest. The arc also features the aftermath of the [[Explorers]] and the [[Six Heroes]], as Liko and Roy reunite for a new adventure alongside [[Dot]] and their new companion Uruto.

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Young Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Roy]]
====Pre-series====
Roy grew up on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his [[Roy's parents|parents]] and [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]]. During his childhood, Roy would travel with his parents on a cargo ship and his grandfather would tell the story of an [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]], which inspired him to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Sometime later, Roy was left under his grandfather's care when his parents went traveling on their own for business, as he received an [[Ancient Poké Ball]] from his grandfather and decided to undercover the mystery of it. Also, Roy would sing to himself until a group of [[wild Pokémon]] heard him and followed him.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Roy debuted in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In the morning after [[HZ002|a storm]], he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' [[Brave Olivine|airship]].

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that he couldn't catch a Pokémon because there were no Pokémon Trainers on the island. After noticing that his [[Secret Base]] had been raided, Roy came across a {{p|Fuecoco}} and befriended it. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} running from a group of wild Pokémon. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple {{m|String Shot}}s until [[Friede]] came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy [[HZ005|snuck on the Brave Olivine]], but he got zapped by [[Captain Pikachu]], waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Olivine, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to leave it some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Olivine. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. By chanting alongside the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}}, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an {{m|Ember}}.
[[File:Roy RVT.png|thumb|250px|Roy joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy battled against [[Amethio]] for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's Ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], who fired a {{m|Draco Meteor}} that forced the [[Explorers]] to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted it to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a {{i|Poké Ball}} that Friede's {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} gave it, allowing Roy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. After stating he wanted to realize both his and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his [[Pokémon journey]] with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko and Roy had a sparring battle, which ended with both of their Pokémon just exhausting themselves. After a training session with Captain Pikachu, they had another battle, which went much better. Although Roy ended up losing, he wasn't dejected, and promised to battle Liko again later.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in [[Paldea]]. In [[HZ010|the following episode]], Roy and Liko visited [[Artazon]] to meet [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]], who had supposedly seen the Black Rayquaza. Brassius eventually admitted this to have been the case, with the encounter having left him in an artistic slump, as he felt his Rayquaza statue was not as good as the real thing. Roy, however, thought Brassius's statue looked just as good as the actual Rayquaza. After hearing how Rayquaza had been the inspiration behind his journey, Brassius challenged Roy to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing Rayquaza. During the battle, Brassius told Roy to remember to keep an eye on his own Pokémon, allowing Roy to spot that Fuecoco had just learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Despite this new [[move]], however, Fuecoco was still defeated after Brassius {{Tera}}stallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, ending the match in Roy's loss. After the battle, Roy expressed interest in getting to try out using the Terastal phenomenon himself. After learning that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]], Roy and Liko decided to make it their next destination.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', {{an|Nemona}} led Roy and Liko to Arboliva's Forest, only to find part of it burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. While searching the area, Roy came across a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} with an Ancient Poké Ball. Mistakenly assuming the pair were trying to harm the Pokémon living in the forest, Arboliva began attacking Roy and Liko. While Roy and Liko kept Arboliva distracted, [[Mollie]] treated an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, calming Arboliva down. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers held a successful group effort to replant the damaged part of the forest. Liko's pendant briefly transformed into a mysterious Pokémon just before Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Roy catches Wattrel.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy catches {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', a {{p|Wattrel}} stole a [[sandwich]] that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using [[Ludlow]]'s [[fishing]] rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, [[Murdock]] gave him a Poké Ball to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Roy was informed that Liko went missing while shopping, so he and the Rising Volt Tacklers went looking for her. However, Roy wandered off when his Wattrel ran to chase after a {{p|Corvisquire}} until they went to [[Levincia]]. After meeting up with Friede, Roy met [[Dot]] for the first time and went looking for Liko, being able to find her. Roy was then informed that Liko had her pendant stolen and they agreed to get it back. In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Roy and his friends found [[Spinel]], the one who stole the object, and then battled him. After Liko got her pendant back, Roy and his friends made their escape thanks to Arboliva.

In ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', Roy decided to train his Pokémon in teamwork in the hopes of helping his Fuecoco and Wattrel get along better, due to their constant arguing. Roy asked Captain Pikachu to battle them, which he accepted. However, due to Fuecoco and Wattrel's lack of teamwork, Roy lost the match. The boy then decided to train his Pokémon and was able to get them to work together. Next, he asked Cap for a [[rematch]] but, although Fuecoco and Wattrel's teamwork improved, Roy lost to Cap again.

In [[HZ018|next episode]], Roy and his friends got curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against him. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Roy and his friends refused to give up and they decided to ask the rest of the members, but couldn't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Roy and his friends' curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. Eventually, [[Orla]] was able to convince Friede into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Roy arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Liko in order to get some information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]], due to him being from [[Hoenn]]. However, Roy and Liko received some training from Kabu before having a [[Multi Battle]] against him. Despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Roy lost to Kabu while Liko forfeited because she felt bad for her opponent, {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. After the battle, Roy and Liko found out from Kabu that the Black Rayquaza was at the [[Galar Mine]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Roy and Liko met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got him to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Roy and Liko arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Roy battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] again in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Roy witnessed the Legendary Pokémon return to its Ancient Poké Ball, as Liko took it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Roy and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Roy and Liko tried to escape the Explorers, but were forced to battle Zirc and [[Onia]], which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Roy and his friends were able to escape from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Roy joined his friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Roy and Liko stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, the two saw Lapras with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Roy joined Liko and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, the Transport Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Roy and his friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Roy attempted to battle the Black Rayquaza, but couldn't because Amethio arrived to battle it and {{an|Terapagos}} {{a|Tera Shift|transformed}} in order to protect its friends. However, after Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Roy was depressed that he didn't get to battle the Legendary Pokémon. Fortunately, after doing a training battle with Liko against Diana, Roy cheered up and understood that he had a long way to go in order to battle the Black Rayquaza. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Roy and Liko overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Roy and Liko surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Roy was informed by Friede that they were heading to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers took on a job to deal with a group of {{p|Sandile}}, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} that were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Roy and Fuecoco eventually found the group and quickly befriended them upon learning they were a family trying to protect their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the young Sandile, Krookodile and the Krokorok went on a rampage in order to destroy the machinery. By learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm its new friends down. Afterward, once the situation was explained to both parties, Krookodile and its family agreed to work alongside the archeologists.

In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully returned to Paldea. In the [[HZ043|following episode]], Roy and Liko were challenged to a battle by Coral and Sidian, respectively. Fuecoco struggled to land any hits on Coral's {{p|Glalie}} due to it freezing the battlefield, but upon noticing Fuecoco's growing frustration, Roy commanded it to use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by her opponents' determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Roy and Liko used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Roy and {{an|Nemona}}]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Roy, Liko, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Roy and Liko confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and Sprigatito [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Roy, Liko, and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Roy's excitement, Brassius was chosen as his opponent. Roy also met [[Ann]], Liko's friend from [[Indigo Academy]]. After watching Liko and Ann battle, Roy and his friends set off for Liko's battle against [[Katy]] in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot arrived in Artazon. Roy's basic aptitude test was temporarily postponed due to the town having its annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. In the meantime, Roy faced Nemona in a battle, but was defeated. Frustrated, Roy asked to rematch Nemona, only for Brassius to suggest Roy participate in the festival in order to realize why he lost. Together, Roy and Fuecoco made a clay Charizard sculpture capable of breathing fire provided by Fuecoco's Flamethrower. This allowed Roy to realize he was failing to utilize any opportunity and resources in battles, impressing Brassius as a result. During his rematch with Brassius, Roy properly used strategies to see through Brassius's tactics, then defeated him after Terastallizing Fuecoco for the first time.

In ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', while looking for wild Pokémon to make a research report on, Roy noticed that Wattrel still struggled to fly properly in strong winds. That night, Roy and Fuecoco found that Wattrel had left their tent to go train in secret. The three also encountered [[Ryme]], a Trainer Roy bonded with over their shared love of music. The following morning, Roy found a wild {{p|Capsakid}} had gotten stuck on a cliff. Remembering the words of encouragement Ryme gave it earlier, Wattrel worked up the courage to fly down and save the Capsakid despite the strong winds blowing in the area. When Roy slipped and fell off the ledge he was standing on, Wattrel immediately rushed in to save its Trainer, evolving into {{p|Kilowattrel}} in the process.
[[File:Roy and Brassius.png|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Brassius]]]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the respective Gym Leaders they battled in their basic aptitude tests. Roy and Fuecoco teamed up with Brassius and his {{p|Dolliv}} to battle [[Hassel]]'s {{p|Baxcalibur}} and {{p|Flapple}}. Although both Trainers creatively combined their Pokémon's moves in a variety of ways, Fuecoco and Dolliv were eventually taken out by a {{a|Thermal Exchange}}-boosted {{m|Glaive Rush}} from Baxcalibur. Despite the loss, Roy promised Nemona that he would keep improving as a Trainer so he could one day face her in another battle.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede met with [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]], hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third form of Terapagos. Later, Roy and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Roy was paired with Ryme in [[Montenevera]], but the group decided to head to [[Medali]] first for Dot's battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived in Montenevera, where they reunited with Nemona. After defeating [[MC Sledge]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, Roy faced Ryme in a rap battle, where he impressed the Gym Leader with his skills. In the Terastal battle, Roy sent out Kilowattrel against Ryme's Houndstone, but it was quickly defeated. He then switched it out for Fuecoco, who managed to take out Houndstone after being encouraged by their song. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} [[Ability]] to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy Terastallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy and Fuecoco participated in Nemona's [[Hyper Training]] session to prepare for their rematch with Ryme. While taking a break, Roy explained to the others how his love of singing came from the songs he and his parents sung together before they left on a long voyage together. Once their training had finished, Roy returned to Ryme and faced her in another battle. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted Flamethrower, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade on his exam. Afterward, Roy admitted that his and Fuecoco's song isn't for making them stronger in battle, it symbolizes the bond he and Fuecoco share. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Roy battling Liko in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot returned to the Naranja Academy, where Nemona informed them of the upcoming [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] to celebrate the end of the Tera Training course. Roy was then informed by Dot that the Explorers were trying to hack into the academy's systems to steal information on Terapagos. After splitting up, Roy found Coral and challenged her. Roy soon took the fight outside the classroom, to prevent the destruction of the students' artworks, while Coral followed in pursuit. After a clash of power between Fuecoco's Flamethrower and Glalie's {{m|Blizzard}}, the boy encouraged his Partner Pokémon, who ultimately outclassed his opponent and defeated Glalie, forcing Coral to retreat in anger. Later, after reuniting with Liko and Dot, the three were informed by [[Dendra]] that both Roy and Liko [[HZ067|are set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both Kilowattrel and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Roy and Liko both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Roy, Liko, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After Liko received Lucius's belt back from Friede, Roy was challenged by Lucius's Moltres, who wanted to test his strength as a Trainer at the end of his Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Roy Terastallized Crocalor and had him use an enhanced Flame Charge, which Moltres withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a [[photo]] of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.

Roy, Liko Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Roy ended up separated from the others after he and Crocalor fell into an underground cave, but they managed to find their way out and counted on Kilowattrel to take them up the mountain. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Roy and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Roy, Liko, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Roy and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Roy, Liko, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon. Despite their loss, Kleavor acknowledged Roy and the others' strength and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|right|170px|the Rising Volt Tacklers battle [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] again]]
After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Roy, Liko, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball. Having achieved his goal of catching Rayquaza, Roy decided to have the Legendary Pokémon acknowledge him to be worthy of being its Trainer.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Roy faced off against Coral, this time against her {{p|Scream Tail}}, and managed to win without resorting to Terastallization even when his opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of [[Laquium]], the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}}, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Once Floragato evolved into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and managed to knock Zygarde down, the Legendary Pokémon forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Roy witnessed Lucius fading away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Roy and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy battling Ann]]
Roy and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that [[Exceed]] had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, dropping him back to Kanto. In the year following these events, Roy took custody of Captain Pikachu and somehow caught a {{Shiny|yellow}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in his travels. In that same year, Roy met and trained alongside [[Uruto]] in [[Kalos]], which led to both becoming [[Rival|rivals]], acquiring [[Mega Ring]]s, and mastering [[Mega Evolution]].

[[HZ090|One year after]] ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Roy received a message from Dot informing him about Laquium effects still existing worldwide. Roy and his rival Uruto both battled and defeated a Laquium-enhanced wild {{p|Slaking}} with their respective Pokémon, after which Roy left his rival behind to meet with Liko at [[Indigo Academy]]. Roy then showed up at Indigo Academy, [[HZ091|meeting up]] with Liko for the first time in a year. He then battled and defeated both Ann and Liko. After that, Liko then decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua and clearing the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.

In [[HZ095]], Roy and Liko went to an Exceed facility after their battle with a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}} in the [[HZ094|last episode]], figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. Roy and Liko then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Uruto, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Roy and Liko, now joined by Uruto, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.

In [[HZ099]], Roy and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Dot and the group find out through Uruto that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Uruto denied them, the Explorers members [[Indy]] and [[Rubella]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Roy, Uruto, Dot, and Liko teamed up to battle Indy and Rubella's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Roy and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indy and Rubella to retreat.

Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Roy and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Uruto proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In [[HZ101]], Roy, Liko, Dot, and Uruto met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon. Later, after reuniting with Nemona, Roy faced her in a [[Double Battle]], using Crocalor and Lucario against Nemona's {{p|Pawmot}} and {{p|Ribombee}}. During the climax of the battle, Roy Mega Evolved his Lucario and Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot into a {{T|Fighting}}-type, which ended the battle in a final clash between the two and the in the latter's defeat, resulting in Roy's victory.

===Character===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather.png|thumb|250px|Roy and [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]]]]
Roy is an upbeat and energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen and see the world, just like the fabled [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] he has heard about from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Although he starts inexperienced about the inner workings of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is nonetheless adept at other related activities, such as building [[Secret Base]]s, and an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles for long distances to cut {{Berries}} from trees and create distractions, which makes his {{i|Poké Ball}} throws very accurate. Roy also seems to enjoy mysteries and doesn't rest until he’s solved them.

He is shown to enjoy singing and eating, especially berries and spicy food. Roy's enjoyment of berries and spicy flavored foods is also shown in his [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', as most of the ingredients he uses are spicy flavored and berries. However, despite berries and spicy stuff being his favorite food, Roy does like certain other types of foods, such as sweets. Roy also gets excited to eat in general, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and Fuecoco got excited to eat all the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made from their unexpected bake-off. In addition to being a good singer, Roy is a skilled rapper. As revealed in ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy's love for singing comes from his parents, as they used to sing together whenever he was with them on their cargo ship, and even long after they had left, he would bond with the island Pokémon this way. He continues to use his newfound passion for singing as a means to not only have fun but improve his bond with Fuecoco, as he came up with a new song and battle tactic that is less predictable and stronger than before, allowing him and Fuecoco to win their rematch against [[Ryme]] in the same episode and fully gaining her respect to the point where she hyped up the crowd along with Roy when him and Fuecoco starting singing during his battle against [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]''.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Uruto.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and his friends]]
After befriending and spending time with Fuecoco and Liko, Roy learns that the feelings of the Trainer and the Pokémon have to coincide in order for a partnership to be born. Roy is also shown to be passionate about Pokémon, particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]], with his dream being to meet and battle them, much like the Ancient Adventurer, who managed to catch the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. In addition, Roy would help any Pokémon in trouble as he would solve or work out their problems, especially his own. Due to living on an island for most of his life, Roy can get excited to see various places for the first time. However, despite this, Roy does have social skills as he isn't shy to talk with people or Pokémon. Although, Roy can be oblivious when it comes to the field of romance until someone points it out to him. Roy also enjoys being around nature, and often does his online classes in various spots on the island, with him deciding to make the battlefield on the Brave Olivine his main place to do them.
[[File:Roy parents.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy and [[Roy's parents|his parents]]]]
Roy shares a close relationship with his grandfather, as he raised and took care of him growing up. Since meeting [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Roy began to show admiration for him, as he looks up to him for both his skills and knowledge as Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Roy also takes inspiration from Friede, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', when he was inspired by his Pokémon training together and decided to do the same thing for his Pokémon. In addition, Roy seems to have a great relationship with the rest of his teammates. However, out of all of his teammates, Roy seems to have a special relationship with Liko and [[Dot]], as he often hangs out with them and enjoys their company. Throughout their journey, they would support each other, usually training together to become both better Trainers and versions of themselves. Roy also would go to Liko and Dot for advice whenever he is stuck in a jam.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy took an interest in Pokémon battles and enjoys them, but lacked experiences and tended to be reckless while relying on brute force. However, thanks to the help of others, Roy has shown gradual improvement in his skills. His potential as a battler even got the attention of [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]-ranked Trainer [[Nemona (anime)|Nemona]], which lead to them to developing a friendly rivalry, where she desires to battle him often and frequently watches his important battles as well as help him train for upcoming ones. Roy has also learned that having his Pokémon train with each other not only helps them become stronger, but also would help strengthen both their friendship and teamwork, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. In addition, Roy learns that failure in a Pokémon battle is part of a Trainers growth in order to improve. At first, Roy was only focusing on the battle and not everything around him. However, through [[Brassius]]'s advice in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy realizes that using everything around him such as the environment and small details of Pokemon can help him in battle. Overtime, Roy has learnt to strategise and adapt better during battles to avoid becoming too predictable, getting caught off guard or overwhelmed by his opponent, allowing him to win more often. He also no longer panics during battles, remaining calm and confident while guiding his Pokémon. This is especially shown in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'' where he effortlessly commanded his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} whenever he was scared or distressed against [[Lucius's Moltres|Lucius’s Moltres]]. However, Roy will still struggle to focus during a battle if something is genuinely weighing on his mind, as shown in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', when Liko went missing, as he and Dot were unable to put a one hundread percent into their battle against the [[Explorers]] because they were worried about her safety.

Roy has shown to be somewhat of an amateur artist. His artistic ability is displayed whenever he crafted cardboard cutouts of Pokémon for training purposes as shown in ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'' and in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', as well as when he and Fuecoco presented an impressive {{p|Charizard}} sculpture that represented their respective dreams during the [[Artazon Art Festival]]. This has allowed him to form a close mentor-student relationship with Brassius and even gain the respect of [[Hassel]]. His artistic nature is even shown in battle as seen in ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' when he combined his Fuecoco's moves with the moves of Brassius's {{p|Dolliv}}, creating a spectacular display. Additionally, his fondness and appreciation for art also stretches to the works of other people, like when he was the first to compliment Brassius’s Black Rayquaza sculpture in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', or when he moved his battle against [[Coral]] outside in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to prevent the other students’ artworks from getting burnt during their fight.
[[File:Roy and Lucario Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy connecting with his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} through [[aura]]]]
As early as ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Roy has displayed an eagerness for taking photos on his [[Rotom Phone]], wanting to capture special moments with his friends and Pokémon during his journey. This was later emphasised in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', when he and Fuecoco looked back fondly at different photos that were taken up until that point, with Roy even getting another photo alongside his Pokémon partners and the wild Pokémon he befriended on [[Glaseado Mountain]] in the same episode.

Since losing Friede, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] disbanding after being framed by [[Spinel]], and his year training in [[Kalos]], Roy has noticeably matured, as he is much calmer and reserved, but still maintains his adventurous spirit. While he still pursues strength, he has developed a more principled and mission-focused demeanor and prioritizing protecting others over pursuing strength for the sake of it. Liko comments on how he appears more dependable than before. However, his relationship with his would-be rival [[Uruto]] is tenuous at best: while Roy respects Uruto's skill as a Trainer and tolerates his presence at times, he finds Uruto to be a nuisance and a liability who will only get in the way of his personal missions, and Roy's actions around him suggest he doesn't want to put up with him, even going so far as to keep him in the dark as to his reason for pursuing the Black Rayquaza and forcefully dragging Liko away from him when he goes on tirades about power. Roy also would be at odds with Uruto and teases him. Despite this, Roy does get along with Uruto and considers him a close friend.

After the Rising Volt Tacklers reformed in [[HZ100]], Roy helps Captain Pikachu in making decisions during Friede's absence, as he and the rest of his teammates find out that he is still alive but in hiding from the Explorers. Roy also has help in Liko and Dot for making decisions for the group's destinations because the three of them are the reason the team reformed and Uruto joining the group as their newest member.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy party.png|thumb|250px|Roy's current [[party]]]]
Roy's team consists mainly of gluttons who had problems in the past, usually involving some form of insecurity: {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} was initially embarassed of singing in front of others and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} was scared of heights. However, through his unorthodox methods, he was able to help his Pokémon overcome them and, by doing so, allowed them to truly grow. In their first stages, they used to look up to [[Friede's Charizard]] and [[Captain Pikachu]], respectively, due to their shared types.

Furthermore, his Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Crocalor and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} are Roy's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, with Lucario's Mega Evolution in particular acting as the team's power equalizer against tougher opponents, while Kilowattrel acts mainly as aerial support. As of now, Captain Pikachu is traveling with Roy and isn't an official team member, but often contributes in tough battles with his greater experience and power. Roy's Pokémon seem to have a tight knit bond with each other and especially work well together as a unit due to their extensive training in [[Kalos]].

This listing is of Roy's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}:

==Trivia ==
* Roy was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the {{pkmn|animated series}} by the series' character designers.<ref name=anipoke20230303>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name=LikoRoyConcept>[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>

* Roy is the first main character to:

She is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Cabo Poco]] whose goal is to understand Pokémon better. She owned a mysterious pendant that was given to her by [[Diana|her grandmother]] and was [[HZ024|later]] revealed to be a hibernating {{an|Terapagos}}. Her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] was a {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} that she received at [[Indigo Academy]]. Liko also becomes a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Liko.png|250px|thumb|left|Young Liko]]
Liko was born in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] and grew up in [[Cabo Poco]] with her parents, [[Alex]] and [[Lucca]]. Her grandmother, [[Diana]], was also an important part of her childhood, with Liko hearing stories of the adventures and journeys she went through around the world. After being accepted into [[Indigo Academy]], Liko was given a mysterious pendant by Diana, which she said would be important to her in the future.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
[[File:Liko pendant power.png|250px|thumb|Liko awakening the [[Pagogo|pendant]] for the first time]]
Liko debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She enrolled in [[Indigo Academy]] at the [[Kanto]] region, where she formed a friendship with her roommate [[Ann]] and received her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]], a {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. During the next few days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about it and make it listen to her instructions in {{pkmn|battle}}, but to little avail.

One day, a young man named [[Amethio]] introduced himself to her, supposedly as her grandmother's representative, and asked her for the pendant. Quickly distrusting his intentions, Liko attempted to run away from him and [[Zirc|his]] [[Onia|teammates]], but eventually got cornered by the group, who called themselves [[Explorers]]. However, before any violent confrontation could begin, [[Friede]] swooped in on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and started battling [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. A stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} nearly hit Liko as she tried to escape, but her pendant activated in time and protected her from the attack.

In the [[HZ002|next episode]], Liko noticed the presence of {{an|Terapagos|a mysterious Pokémon}} during the activation of the pendant's power. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Sprigatito were taken aboard his airship, the [[Brave Olivine]], where they were introduced to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Not long after, the ship was attacked by the Explorers, who almost coerced Liko to go with them, had Sprigatito not encouraged her to stand tall. Liko had the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} unleash a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the Wing Deck, but it got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the Explorers to capture it before fleeing.
[[File:Liko Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko discovered that [[Lucca|her mother]] had hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group soon reached the city where the Explorers were last seen. After running an errand for [[Mollie]] at the city's [[Pokémon Center]], she followed the sound of [[Murdock's Rockruff]]'s barking and discovered that [[Murdock]] and Friede had found Onia. She and Friede chased Onia back to the Explorers' hideout, where Friede engaged Amethio in a battle, allowing her and Rockruff to locate Sprigatito. Feeling she could trust them, Liko decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their travels to find out more about the mysteries surrounding her pendant and the Explorers, officially becoming a member of the group.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Liko had signed up for online classes and would be attending school virtually. After doing some chores, Liko found out that {{p|Fuecoco}} had fallen off the Brave Olivine and went out to look for it. During the search, they came upon an open tree stump with eaten {{Berries}} and were mistakenly accused of eating them by the [[wild Pokémon]]. As they were being chased, Liko's pendant started to glow, and soon they were found by [[Roy]], who helped them escape. The wild Pokémon, however, did not give up on their hunt and successfully captured them. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Roy gathered Berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and she soon waved goodbye to her new friend.
[[File:Rayquaza staring at Liko.png|thumb|250px|Liko meeting the [[Black Rayquaza]]]]
They did not depart for long, however, as the Rising Volt Tacklers were startled awake [[HZ005|during the middle of the night]] when Roy snuck on the ship and got shocked by [[Captain Pikachu]]. He wanted to see his friend Fuecoco once more, but, despite searching all over the Brave Olivine, couldn't find it. In the next day, the Explorers launched an assault on the Rising Volt Tacklers. Despite her own nervousness, Liko managed to defeat Onia all by herself. As she arrived on the beach, she was assaulted by Amethio's {{p|Corviknight}}, nearly getting hit before [[HZ006|her pendant activated again]], projecting another barrier to protect her. Liko and Roy called Sprigatito and Fuecoco to fight Amethio's Ceruledge, but it proved to be too powerful for them. Then, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted in unison, and from the Poké Ball emerged a [[Black Rayquaza]]. After forcing the Explorers to retreat, Rayquaza briefly stared at Liko before flying away. She decided to keep looking into her pendant's mystery alongside Roy and the Rising Volt Tacklers as they headed off towards [[Paldea]].

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko was challenged by Roy to a battle, but it was called off when their Pokémon tired themselves into a draw. Shortly after, Friede downloaded the Rising Volt Tacklers app on their [[Rotom Phone]]s and suggested they visit [[Dot]] to see if she had any info on the Black Rayquaza, but weren't able to talk to her. Frustrated, they asked Friede for some special training, which he accepted. In order for them to win, they had to land a hit on Captain Pikachu, but, despite figuring out the pattern of his {{m|Double Team}}, weren't able to. After a break, Liko and Roy battled against each other once more—this time, there was a clear winner, as Sprigatito managed to overcome the type disadvantage and defeat {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea. Realizing that Dot is just shy around others, like she is, Liko decided to learn more about her in hopes of becoming friends with her.

In the [[HZ008|next episode]], Liko accepted Roy's pleading to watch over the Brave Olivine in his place, as she already was planning to watch a livestream by Nidothing, her favorite content creator. By the time she had done her chores, she decided to bring Dot the lunch that Murdock had prepared for her. Once at her door, Liko faintly heard Nidothing's background music and, assuming Dot to be a Nidothing fan like herself, tried to bond with Dot over this shared interest, but to no avail. During the livestream, Nidothing—who, unbeknownst to Liko, was actually Dot in a costume—read and responded a comment about the whole situation left by her, who was quick to follow the streamer's advice.
[[File:Liko and Alex.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and [[Alex|her father]]]]
In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in Paldea. Before heading to her home in [[Cabo Poco]], Liko guided Roy and Friede as they toured around [[Mesagoza]]. After Friede failed to get a hold of her mother, Liko suggested visiting [[Alex|her father]], which quickly made her feel uneasy after realizing that her journey could soon be over. At home, she overheard her father talking to Friede about how he was worrying about her being by herself. After a sleepless night back at the Brave Olivine, and a run-in with a wild {{p|Lechonk}}, she told her father that she still wanted to be a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and travel the world with them. Her father accepted her wishes and told them about the sightings of a mysterious Pokémon over [[Artazon]]. In the [[HZ010|next episode]], Liko and Roy went to the city, where they met the {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{an|Nemona}} and the local {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]]. During their time together, they learned that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]] and decided to make it their next destination.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito Rotom hypnotized.png|thumb|200px|Liko and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} having their memories erased by [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}}]]
As [[HZ011|they reached the forest]], Liko and Roy discovered that part of it had burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. After looking around, Liko found an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, but the local wild Pokémon were distrustful of her and took Wooper to a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}, which started attacking Liko and Roy until Mollie had finished treating the Poison Fish Pokémon's injuries. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], Liko led a successful group effort to replant the part of the forest that had burned down. Suddenly, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care. At the end of the day, Liko decided she wanted to see her grandmother in the hopes of learning more about the pendant.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Liko and the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to have a [[picnic]] while the ship was undergoing an automatic inspection. During that leisure period, feeling that Dot and [[Ludlow]] were missing out, Liko enlisted Murdock's help in making an indoor picnic for them. Later, Liko was shocked to see that Dot sent her a picture of Nidothing and Ludlow having a good time. In her naivety, Liko did not correlate Dot and Nidothing as the same person, instead concluding that it was all part of Dot's plan to make her happy.

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Liko went to [[Levincia]] alone after seeing an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] spice that Murdock wanted. Unbeknownst to her, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] to lure her away. Spinel used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to erase Liko's memories, specifically the ones involving the Rising Volt Tacklers, and effortlessly stole her pendant. In the [[HZ015|the following episode]], Dot staged a collaboration with {{an|Iono}} in order to find out Liko's whereabouts. By the time her memory fully recovered, Liko had reunited with Roy, Friede, and Dot, the latter she met in person for the first time. Realizing that Spinel was still in Paldea, the group was determined to retrieve the stolen pendant back.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot went searching for Spinel in order to get the pendant back. Once Dot located Spinel's whereabouts, Liko and Roy teamed up with her to battle the Explorers Admin. They managed to take down Spinel's {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, only to be quickly overwhelmed by his {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite this, Liko's determination to keep battling caused the pendant to glow brightly, forcing Spinel out of his hiding spot and allowing Sprigatito the chance to retrieve it. Liko and the others escaped with Arboliva's help and reunited with the other Rising Volt Tacklers. Later, Dot finally confessed to Liko about her secret identity as Nidothing, much to Liko's shock.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Liko arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Roy in order to gather information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]]. Kabu tested their resolve through a training contest to master their Pokémon's basic moves, followed by a [[Multi Battle]] against himself and his apprentice {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. Although Liko did her best throughout her training, she yielded to Roy during their contest when she saw how he had improved, and felt it best to forfeit against Wakaba to help her qualify as a {{tc|Gym Trainer}}. When this only upset Sprigatito and Wakaba, however, Kabu helped Liko understand her lack of consideration for their feelings, and she apologized to them both. After the training, Liko and Roy learned from Kabu that Rayquaza was spotted heading towards the [[Galar Mine]].
[[File:Liko Hatenna Sprigatito.png|thumb|250px|Liko catching {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}]]
In the [[HZ021|next episode]], while heading to the Galar Mine, Liko, Roy, and Friede had to seek shelter from the rain and they found a wild {{p|Hatenna}}. Liko felt that something wasn't right with her and brought Hatenna back to the Brave Olivine so Mollie could check her out. Mollie deduced she was just feeling down, so Liko volunteered to look after Hatenna, but she ran away after sensing Dot's strong emotions. Liko, Roy, and Dot sought Hatenna all over the airship, with Liko eventually finding her on the observation deck. She told Hatenna that she also liked to come there as well because it was quiet and peaceful, which led them to bond. After the weather cleared up, Liko attempted to return Hatenna to the wild, but Sprigatito convinced the Calm Pokémon not to go and she ran back into Liko's arms. Realizing that Hatenna wanted to go with her, Friede gave her a Poké Ball and Liko happily {{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}, adding her to her [[party|team]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Liko, Roy, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Liko and Roy met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got her to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Liko and Roy arrived at the Pokémon Center in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Liko battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] once more in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which the Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care.
[[File:Liko Lucius Belt.png|thumb|left|200px|Liko wearing [[Lucius]]'s belt]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Liko with Roy and Friede arrived in [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find the [[ancient castle]] that her grandmother was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Liko and her friends were able to find her grandmother. Liko introduced her grandmother to her friends Roy and Friede, as well as Sprigatito and Hatenna as her Pokémon partners. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Liko and Roy tried to escape the Explorers, but they were forced to battle Onia and Zirc, which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Liko, her grandmother and her friends were able to escape.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Liko joined her friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get her to come out, as she was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Liko and Roy stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, Liko and Roy saw it with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Liko joined Roy and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing her that they were friends, Lapras returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Liko and her friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Liko witnessed Terapagos {{a|Tera Shift|transform}} in order to battle the Black Rayquaza after it defeated Amethio. After Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Liko stayed by its side while it recovered. Liko and Roy then had a training battle with Diana, and won when Sprigatito managed to land a hit on her {{p|Arcanine}}. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Liko and Roy overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Liko and Roy surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log and then the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Liko was informed by Friede that they were heading back to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Liko and Roy arrived at Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]]'s location in an attempt to stop them from using a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Liko and Roy used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Liko and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|Liko and [[Lucca|her mother]]]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Liko, Roy, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Liko and Roy confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Sprigatito evolving into Floragato and Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Liko, Roy and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Liko, Dot, and Roy were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Liko's surprise, [[Katy]] was chosen as her opponent. Liko then reunites with Ann and decided to have a [[rematch]] against her. Through her quick thinking, Liko was able to win the battle and promised Ann that they'll battle each other again one day. Later, Liko and her friends set off for her battle against Katy in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ047|Put Your Heart Into It!]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived in Cortondo, where they encountered Murdock working part-time at the Patisserie Soapberry. They also found Katy being yelled at by Coral, who was furious because she arrived too late to buy sweets. Katy only had time to take on one challenger that day, so she had Liko and Coral face off in a baking competition to see who she would battle. With the matcha cake they made, Liko and Floragato won the competition while Coral lost and was kicked out for her volatile behavior. Later, during her battle with Katy, Liko Terastallized Floragato into a {{type|Grass}}, but they were defeated when Katy's {{Tera}} {{t|Bug}} {{p|Teddiursa}}, Teddy, used a powered-up {{m|Fury Cutter}}. Despite the loss, Liko still passed her assessment for using Terastal at the appropriate moment. Afterwards, Liko and her friends prepared to head to Artazon for Roy's battle with Brassius.

In ''[[HZ053|Hatenna and the Otherworldly]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot encountered a group of the {{p|Mankey}} evolutionary line. While Liko and the others fended off the horde of angry Pokémon, Hatenna discovered that they were enraged after losing access to their food storage. By working with their Pokémon, Liko's group successfully built a rope bridge for their new friends to climb on. Overjoyed at being able to access their food again, the Mankey family accidentally caused a boulder to fall on their berry supply, angering them all over again. Tired of all the fighting, Hatenna evolved into {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} and used her newly learned {{m|Brutal Swing}} to defeat the three {{p|Annihilape}} that were attacking each other. Afterward, the Mankey family apologized for their actions and shared their food with Liko's group.
[[File:Liko and her friends.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ann at Naranja Academy]]
In ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', Liko was paired with Katy for an aptitude match against [[Rika]] of the Paldea [[Elite Four]]. During the battle, Liko became frustrated, comparing herself with the other Trainers and thinking she couldn't keep up, a feeling that was building up inside her even before the battle begun. Katy and Rika supported her their own ways, pointing out her mind was seemingly everywhere at once. The Elite Four member also left her wondering about what Pokémon battles are about, and Liko found out her answer as the battle went on, recognizing that being immersed in a battle allows for a Trainer to know what their Pokémon feels and vowing to take battles as seriously as her Floragato has ever taken. In the end, Liko and Katy still lost, with the student becoming emotional and shedding bitter tears for having engaged more intimately with the battle. Later, she was approached by [[Grusha]], who briefly made a comment about her before leaving with [[Geeta]]. While she did not know who he was, she would eventually find out once the pairings for the next module of the Tera Training [[HZ057|were revealed]], as he was assigned as the Gym Leader she would have to face.

In ''[[HZ063|Ice Battle! Cold-Eyed Grusha]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived at [[Glaseado Gym]] for her Tera Training test against Grusha. After learning about his past as a professional snowboarder, Liko was determined to receive approval from the Gym Leader. The battle, however, did not go according to her plans, as {{p|Cetitan}}'s bulk and {{p|Altaria}}'s aerial attacks, combined with a massive type disadvantage, proved to be too much for her team, leading to Liko failing her test, with Grusha not acknowledging her in spite of her loss and refusing to give her a second chance.
[[File:Liko and Amethio talking.png|250px|thumb|Liko and [[Amethio]] opening up to each other]]
In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', the trio decided to visit {{DL|Ten Sights of Paldea|Paldea's Highest Peak}}, wanting to cheer Liko up. Along the way, she was unknowingly deviated from her friends by [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}} and ran by chance into Amethio, who seized the opportunity to take Terapagos. This time, however, Liko and Floragato put up a fight and even forced Amethio into Terastallizing Ceruledge, which made her think back to her recent loss and hesitate. The battle was interrupted by Spinel, who tested the effects of the [[Laquium|Treasure of Eternity]] on his {{p|Umbreon}}, causing it to enter a rampaging state that allowed it to easily triumph over Ceruledge. Angered, Terapagos transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} and destroyed the crystal, purifying Umbreon in the process. Demanding answers as to what they just witnessed, Liko and Amethio chased after the fleeing Spinel, only to be lured into a nearby cave and be trapped inside. In the [[HZ065|following episode]], as the air grew colder, they gathered around a campfire and opened up to each other, learning about each other's goals and reflecting on the similarities of their journeys. Liko even pondered if the Rising Volt Tacklers and the Explorers could work together to reach the end goal they shared, but Amethio quickly discarded the idea, claiming the paths they take are too different. Eventually, they managed to create an opening in the ceiling and escape, with him warning her about Spinel before parting ways. Later, Liko reunited with her friends and Friede and told them about the Treasure of Eternity. Before heading down the mountain, the children visited Paldea's Highest Peak and snapped a group [[photo]].
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Liko battling Roy in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', the trio returned to Naranja Academy, where the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] was announced, allowing those who failed the Tera Training to Terastallize one last time before the course officially ended. As the tournament was underway, Dot informed Liko and Roy that the Explorers had infiltrated the academy's systems to steal data on Terapagos. They split up, and Liko ended up finding and confronting Sidian at the academy's rooftop; unbeknownst to them, Grusha watched their battle from afar. In order to protect Terapagos and the school, Liko Terastallized Floragato, granting her enough power to defeat her opponent. Sidian acknowledged Liko's strength before leaving, and Grusha finally revealed himself, telling her to meet him at the principal's office, where [[Clavell]] and Geeta were also at. While Liko thought she was in trouble for Terastallizing outside of the Tera Training, they actually commended her for her actions, with the Gym Leader even changing his previous assessment to a passing grade. With one more student having passed their usage test, the tournament's battle pairings changed accordingly, with Liko and Roy [[HZ067|being set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and Hattrem were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Roy's Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Liko and Roy both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Liko, Roy, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After receiving Lucius's belt back from Friede, Liko was challenged by Lucius's Arboliva, who wanted to test her strength as a Trainer at the end of her Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Liko Terastallized Floragato and had her use an enhanced {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which Arboliva withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a photo of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.

Liko, Roy, Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Following an encounter with a pack of wild {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}}, Liko was separated from the others and came across various scratches in the terrain, which she attributed to Kleavor. Using Hattrem's ability to sense emotions, Liko was able to ascertain that Kleavor wasn't angry and that the markings weren't meant as a warning sign. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Liko and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Liko, Roy, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Liko and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Liko, Roy, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon, but still acknowledged their strength and decided to return to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', Liko reunited with Diana, who had successfully obtained more information on Lucius. Before telling everyone what she had learned, Diana challenged her granddaughter to a battle, which eventually ended in Liko's victory. Afterward, Diana told the Rising Volt Tacklers about how Lucius founded the original Explorers alongside his comrades, [[Rystal]] and [[Gibeon]]. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede took Diana to the Crystal Pool, where they successfully used its power to summon Rystal's spirit. There, they learned that Terapagos was actually Rystal's partner Pokémon and that she and Lucius are Liko's great-great-grandparents. Rystal [[HZ075|then proceeded]] to tell everyone how she met Lucius, how the original Explorers came to be, and what happened after they made it to Laqua, which ended up with Gibeon seemingly falling to his death and Lucius being sealed inside Laqua to prevent the Laquium from threatening the world's balance. When it was time for Rystal to return to her original time, she entrusted Terapagos to Liko, stating that she was its partner now. Liko comforted Terapagos, who was sad to see its original Trainer leave. With a Poké Ball she received from Friede, Liko caught Terapagos and adopted the nickname "[[Pagogo]]" from Rystal. Afterward, Diana bid farewell to Liko and the others and went on her own travels.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Liko, Roy, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its Terastal Form, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Lucius and Liko HZ089.png|250px|thumb|Lucius entrusting his dream to Liko]]
With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Liko faced off against Sidian and was able to gain the upper hand without resorting to Terastallization even when her opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of Laquium, the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}}, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Refusing to give up, Liko encouraged Floragato to stand tall as well in order to protect their friends, which was the push necessary for her to evolve into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. For a final assault, she teamed up with Ceruledge, and managed to knock Zygarde down with her newly learned {{m|Flower Trick}}. At this moment, Zygarde forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Liko witnessed Lucius fading away and promised to keep looking after Pagogo. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Liko and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.
[[File:Liko new outfit.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko deciding to go on a new journey with Roy]]
Liko and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, with Liko initially returning home. In the year following these events however, Liko couldn't stay at home in Paldea because of Spinel's actions, and she ended up returning to Indigo Academy in Kanto. Fortunately, Liko was able to have a regular life at Indigo Academy because nobody, except Ann, knew she was a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

[[HZ090|One]] [[HZ091|year]] after ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Liko reunited with Roy, who revealed that he and Dot discovered that Laquium was still affecting Pokémon worldwide, and told her that he needed her help. However, between being accustomed to Indigo Academy, Pagogo not coming out of its Poké Ball in the last year, and not wanting everyone there to know she was a Rising Volt Tackler, Liko refused, but apologized to Roy. Although, seeing Roy battling Ann and realizing that her three best friends were always moving ahead, Liko decided to have a battle with Roy. Liko gave it her all, but lost to Roy once again. Despite the loss, Liko with her newfound confidence decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua in order to clear the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.

In [[HZ092]], while Liko, Roy, and [[Uruto]] battle two Laquium-enhanced {{P|Steelix}}, when Liko was about to be attacked by both, Pagogo finally awakened from its Poké Ball to protect her with its energy barrier, proceeding to change into its Terastal Form and purify the Laquium affecting the two Steelix, much to Liko's joy.

In [[HZ094]], Liko and Roy met Mollie, who was working at her family's Pokémon Center. Liko then sent Meowscarada to battle a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}}, but she got badly poisoned, opting to switch for Hattrem instead. Liko Terastallized her for the first time to deal more powerful attacks, with Hattrem learning {{m|Healing Wish}} to cure Vileplume.

In [[HZ095]], Liko and Roy went to an Exceed facility after their battle with Vileplume, figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. She and Roy then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Uruto, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Liko and Roy, now joined by Uruto, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.

In [[HZ098]], Liko and the others reunited with Murdock and Dot at the Patisserie Soapberry. Upon being told the children were reforming the Rising Volt Tacklers, Murdock grew concerned for their safety. To help relieve Murdock's worries, Katy challenged Liko to a rematch, using her {{p|Ursaring}}, Teddy, to battle Pagogo. Despite Katy using Terastallization again, Pagogo eventually emerged victorious, proving to Murdock how much Liko had grown over the past year. Liko, Roy, and Dot decided that if they wanted to prevent Strong Spheres from being released to the public, they would need the Brave Olivine as a faster means of transportation. Murdock explained that when everyone went their separate ways, [[Orla]] said she would dismantle the airship. Roy and Uruto then suggested having her build a new Brave Olivine for them to fly on. With Dot joining the group, Liko and the others set off to meet with Orla in [[Galar]].

In [[HZ099]], Liko and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Liko and the group find out through Uruto that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Uruto denied them, the Explorers members [[Indy]] and [[Rubella]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Liko, Roy, Uruto, and Dot teamed up to battle Indy and Rubella's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Liko and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indy and Rubella to retreat.

Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Liko and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Uruto proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In [[HZ101]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and Uruto met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon.

In [[HZ102]], while doing research on Laquium Signs in {{DL|Paldea|South Province}} with the others, Liko encountered a student named [[Karatō]], whose partner {{p|Scovillain}} had gone missing. Later, she came across a scared and injured group of Pokémon including a {{p|Charcadet}} she had met [[HZ057|one year earlier]]. The Pokémon were being terrorized by Karatō's Scovillain, which had been affected by Laquium and went on a rampage. After seeing Liko risk herself to protect its friends, Charcadet teamed up with Pagogo to battle and purify Scovillain, returning it to its senses. Once Scovillain and Karatō were reunited, Liko said goodbye to {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, only for it to request that she let it join her team, which Liko happily accepted.
[[File:Amethio and Liko.png|thumb|250px|Liko and Amethio]]
In [[HZ103]], Liko attended a Nidothing and Iono fan meeting in Levincia. While waiting for the event to begin, she and the others came across Zirc and Onia. Upon learning that Zirc was a fellow Nidothing fan but lost his ticket to the event, Liko agreed to help find it. Everyone tracked the ticket to a nearby beach, where it ended up stuck to a wild {{p|Wugtrio}}. Together, Liko and the others battled Wugtrio, giving Zirc's {{p|Rhydon}} the opportunity to retrieve the ticket. Later, after the event finished, Zirc and Onia approached Liko and revealed that Amethio went missing sometime after the incident at Laqua. To Liko's surprise, Zirc and Onia personally requested that she help them locate Amethio's whereabouts. In the [[HZ104|next episode]], Liko accompanied Zirc and Onia to [[Amethio's mansion]] where she finds out more about his past. Through a picture of Amethio when he was younger and help from [[Cervantis]], Liko, Zirc and Onia found him on an island near Levincia. After telling Amethio everything that had happened in the past year, Liko had a battle with him when her Charcadet wanted to battle his Ceruledge, which was called off. In the end, Liko and Charcadet's determination motivated both Amethio and his Ceruledge to fight against Spinel once again, Liko and Amethio then parted ways.

In [[HZ108]], Liko was reunited with her grandmother Diana. After being informed about Spinel capturing the remaing Six Heroes, Diana noticed Liko's newly caught Charcadet, she then challenged Liko to a [[Double Battle]] to test her skills. While Meowscarada was defeated by Arcanine's {{m|Flare Blitz}}, Charcadet defeated Wash Rotom before learning {{m|Fire Spin}}, though it was defeated by Arcanine afterwards, leading to Liko's loss. After the battle, Diana discussed with the Rising Volt Tacklers about finding the location of the remaining Six Heroes at an Exceed facility, with Liko suggesting they get answers from Cervantis, Exceed's former Chairman.

===Character===
[[File:Liko bashfulness.png|thumb|250px|Liko's social anxiety]]
Liko is a kind, soft-spoken, and polite girl who doesn't do well in stressful situations. She seems to be studious when it comes to learning how to build a bond with Pokémon and is rather insightful, being able to spot behavioral patterns with ease, such as [[Captain Pikachu]]'s during the [[HZ007|special training]]. She has also been shown to be cautious about trusting others, as she quickly realized something was amiss when [[Amethio]] presented himself as a representative of her grandmother, [[Diana]], and she was initially unsure about the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] since [[Friede]] took her to their [[Brave Olivine|airship]] without providing her with any information about what was happening. However, after seeing the Rising Volt Tacklers willing to protect her and help rescue {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from the [[Explorers]], Liko came to trust them. Despite her intelligence, Liko has also been shown to be gullible and naïve on occasion, mainly when it comes to realizing that Nidothing and [[Dot]] are the same person until she is told the truth in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Liko can also be clumsy and has a tendency to lose her balance, stumble, or fall down on occasion.

Liko is a big fan of Nidothing and watches her videos, where she posts comments under the username '''Sprigatito Love''' (Japanese: '''ニャオハ大好きっ子''' ''{{tt|Nyahoja|Sprigatito}} Superfan''). Although she now knows that Nidothing and Dot are the same person, Liko openly treats them both as individual people. She even goes to the point of trying to believe that Nidothing is just Nidothing and nobody is inside the costume, as seen in ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'' and [[HZ103]]. She gets excited to meet others who are also Nidothing fans, such as [[Yuno]] and [[Nyabiko]], and when she finds out that those she knows are a fan of her as well, such as [[Zirc]].

She appears to be adept at drawing, as it is common for her to do so when she writes in her [[Rotom Phone|diary]] about her day. As revealed in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', Liko gets her drawing skills from her father, [[Alex]]. Liko is also good at painting, as seen in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Flame and Art]]'', when she makes a drawing of {{p|Arboliva}} with her Pokémon's help. In addition, Liko is a good observer and has been seen writing down her observations in her Rotom Phone.

Liko has been shown to be a bit bashful and socially anxious around new people. In ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', after seeing that other [[Indigo Academy]] students also liked Nidothing, Liko thought about striking up a conversation with them but was unable to voice her thoughts. On occasions when this initial barrier is overcome, however, Liko can easily make friends, quickly befriending [[Ann]] and [[Roy]] after meeting them. Liko's kindness, compassion, and her willingness to help others encourages many people around her and earns their friendship, as was seen in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', when she was able to get the initially reserved Dot to open up more by bringing her lunch and inviting her to watch Nidothing's livestream after hearing the streamer's background music from the other girl's room. This was shown again in [[HZ096]], when Liko helped the often brash and awkward [[Uruto]] to become more comfortable with the group, and understand the concept of working as a team. Even some former enemies have eventually been drawn in by her compassionate nature as time progressed, as seen during [[HZ103]] when Zirc and [[Onia]] asked her to help them find Amethio. In addition, Liko has shown an interest in helping people and Pokémon with their romantic problems.

When she hears or sees something that excites her, she claps her hands together, as shown in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after discovering that she has actually met a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Liko is shown to not be a picky eater, telling [[Murdock]] in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'' that she'll eat anything. Liko also knows how to cook [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she made some for her friends to try, and they enjoyed it. She is also able to make other food, as she made pancakes for the group in [[HZ096]]. In ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', Liko is shown to be emotional as she cries for the first time after losing a battle against [[Rika]]. Sometimes, Liko can be hard on herself when she doesn't accomplish something, which leads her to doubt herself; however, she cheers up through the assurances and motivation from her friends.

[[File:Liko and Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko playing with Pokémon during a picnic]]
Liko cares very much about Pokémon and is shown to prioritize their safety, as demonstrated in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', where she attempted to surrender herself to the Explorers so that the Rising Volt Tacklers' Pokémon wouldn't get hurt. Liko will do anything to protect Pokémon, especially her own, from danger, even to the point of being reckless in order to do so, as shown in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', when she attempted to save [[Pagogo]] from falling off the Brave Olivine, which would have led her to fall off as well if not for her grandmother and her {{p|Arcanine}}. She often feels happy and excited when meeting new Pokémon in general, in stark contrast to her usual bashfulness with new people.

[[File:Dot Liko Roy Uruto.png|thumb|250px|Liko, Roy, Dot, and Uruto]]
Though Liko can be timid and uncertain of her abilities, especially in dangerous situations, she has shown a brave side when supported by those around her, people and Pokémon alike, as seen in episodes such as ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'' and ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', after Sprigatito, and later Roy and Dot, encouraged her to stand tall against the Explorers, and ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', when she reminded Roy and herself about what they as Trainers could do with Pokémon by their side. However, throughout her journey, Liko becomes more confident in herself, as she is showing more of her courageous side and less of her fearful side. Liko also developed a never-giving-up attitude, as she took to heart Amethio's words of letting a setback stop her from achieving her goals in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', and even repeated them to Amethio himself in [[HZ104]] when his own confidence was brought low by the last year's events.

Liko has a calm disposition and is very approachable, as shown in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', when she was able to approach a shy and seclusive {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} she met near the [[Galar Mine]], as it led them to bond and the Calm Pokémon becoming one of her Pokémon partners thanks to her calm emotions. In addition, Liko seems to be a good secret keeper, as she helps Dot maintain her identity as Nidothing and decided to not tell a group of [[Snap Boys|photographers]] that she saw a wild {{p|Palafin}} transform into its hero form in ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]''.

Ever since being assigned to the observation deck on the Brave Olivine in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Liko came to enjoy hanging out there because it was peaceful and quiet, as she would go there in order to get away from whatever was troubling her. Liko often tries to prioritize the happiness of other people before her own, but this sometimes ends up having the opposite effect due to her not properly considering their feelings. This tendency, along with a lack of a goal, resulted in Liko's own development and growth as a Trainer stagnating due to having very little ambition of her own. However, in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Liko decided that she wants to be a Trainer that understands how Pokémon feel. Liko has also learned to not hold back in a Pokémon battle and should give her all no matter who the opponent is. In addition, Liko has come to enjoy battling and wants to become stronger in order to protect those she cares about. Liko's true strength shines through when she is fighting for others, especially for her friends and family, which [[Grusha]] points out in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]''.
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and Ann]]
Liko shares a great relationship with her family and is supportive of them. During her time with her grandmother, Liko became much closer with her, as she came to enjoy spending time with her. Liko is also used to having her family busy, due to her parents working and her grandmother traveling. Ever since the events in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko came to admire Friede for his selflessness and compassion for others, and is impressed with his skills as a Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Although, Liko seemed to have picked up Friede's tendency to forget to give important details, as seen in ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]''. In addition to Friede, Liko has a close relationship with the rest of her teammates. However, out of all her teammates, Liko shares a remarkable relationship with Roy and Dot, as they are her best friends and mostly hangs out with them. Liko also has a close friendship with Ann, even keeping in touch with her whenever she could, especially before or after class at Indigo Academy.

Upon losing Friede, Pagogo not coming out of its Poké Ball, and the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by Spinel, Liko's confidence took a hit and she hid her affiliation from her classmates, with Ann being the only one who knew. Despite her own talent, she also lets Ann become the ace of Indigo Academy, contributing to her feelings of renewed stagnation over the year. In addition, Liko has avoided everything associated with the Rising Volt Tacklers to hide the pain of what she went through, to the point of not staying in contact with Roy and Dot or watching her Nidothing videos. However, upon reuniting with Roy and realizing that her best friends are always moving forward with their Pokémon partners, Liko becomes inspired to do the same, as she cuts loose in her battle against Roy in [[HZ091]] and reveals to her classmates that she is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers. With a newfound resolve to move forward for herself, Liko is now determined to reclaim her agency and clear the Rising Volt Tacklers' name, while returning to traveling with both her best friends and Pokémon, in hopes of one day being able to soar the skies on the Brave Olivine with her friends once more. Her wish soon starts coming true not just when the Rising Volt Tacklers are officially re-formed in [[HZ100]] with the addition of a new friend and teammate in Uruto, but also with the discovery that Friede is still alive but in hiding.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Liko team.png|thumb|250px|Liko's current [[party]]]]
Liko's team mostly consist of Pokémon who are, in some way, related to strong emotions, tying it to her goal of learning more about the feelings of Pokémon. As Liko matured as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, so did her ability to recognize and deal with the emotional necessities of her Pokémon, which can be most clearly seen in her history with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. Her team has also shown to have a strong bond with each other, as they look out for one another. In addition, Meowscarada has occasionally being seen carrying {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}, althoguh it would sometimes carry [[Pagogo]], and {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} would have a tendency to ride Pagogo.

Furthermore, her Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Meowscarada and Pagogo are Liko's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, and Hattrem acts mainly as support. Additionality, Pagogo can be seen as a protector, considering its ability to put up shields and purify [[Laquium]].

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Liko, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Liko is seen using {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Sprigatito}}, with Fuecoco, Charizard, and Quaxly being Pokémon that she was not seen using in the animated series, although it could be a reference to [[Roy's Fuecoco]], [[Friede's Charizard]], and [[Dot's Quaxly]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first
Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] Liko, [[Roy]], [[Friede]] or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==Trivia==
* Liko was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the animated series by the series' character designers.<ref name="anipoke20230303">[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name="LikoRoyConcept">[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Liko's first hairpin bears resemblance to a stylized “L” in addition to the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] logo featured on [[Ash's hat]] in the {{aniseries|OS}}. Her second hairpin both resembles the katakana character リ ''ri'' and the hiragana character こ ''ko'', which spells out her name. The second hairpin also looks similar to the logo on the first [[I Choose You! trilogy|''I Choose You!'' trilogy]] hat.
* Liko is the first female main character to:
** Be completely original to the animated series and not be based on any character from the games.
** Have obtained her first Pokémon outside her home region.
** Own a {{type|Grass}} [[first partner Pokémon]] since {{an|May}}, who caught her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', 885 episodes earlier.
*** She is also the first main character to receive a Grass-type first partner Pokémon as her first Pokémon.
** Have obtained a Pokémon in the first episode of a new series and battled a member of the [[Elite Four]] since {{an|Dawn}}.
** Own a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Have defeated a [[Gym Leader]] in a non-[[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]].
** Own more than three Pokémon since {{an|Iris}}.
** Own a {{type|Fire}} that isn't a first partner Pokémon.

* All of Liko's Pokémon have been obtained in different [[region]]s: {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} in [[Kanto]], {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} in [[Galar]], [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] in [[Kitakami]], and {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} in [[Paldea]].
* Liko's first main attire bears a resemblance to {{p|Oshawott}}, with her belt bag resembling Oshawott's [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]].
* Liko's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230414, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' and ''[[HZ002|(Part Two)]]'', the first two episodes of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.
* When {{Tera}}stallizing her {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}, Liko uses the phrase '''shine in full bloom''' (Japanese: '''満開に輝いて''' ''shine in full bloom'').

Talk:Ash Ketchum (A Ripple in Time)

Monarch Satoshi: Question

== Character of the day ==

I'm not sure in what respect it makes sense to characterize the main character of a standalone short as a "character of the day". [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 15:09, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

:There is none, so it shouldn't be there. [[User:Gwen Stacy|Gwen Stacy]] ([[User talk:Gwen Stacy|talk]]) 17:12, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

== Alternative universe? ==

Why does this article say, "He is loosely based on Ash from the original series"? Is this episode not part of the [[Pokémon the Series|main timeline]]? If not, has that been officially confirmed? [[User:Monarch Satoshi|Monarch Satoshi]] ([[User talk:Monarch Satoshi|talk]]) 11:50, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

The [[Pokémon]] franchise (Hindi: '''पोकेमॉन''' (formerly '''पोकेमोन'''), Tamil: '''பொகெமொன்''', Telugu: '''పోకీమాన్''', Bengali: '''পোকেমন''', Urdu: '''پوکيمون''') made its debut in the '''{{wp|Indian subcontinent}}''' in 2003, with the broadcast of the [[EP001|first animated series episode]] in both English and Hindi on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} and {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Cartoon Network Pakistan}}. [[#Cartoon Network and Pogo TV|CN India and its sister channels]] also dubbed the animated series into Tamil and Telugu.

Since 2014, a second production of new Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali dubs has aired on {{wp|Hungama TV}} and its [[#Disney India|various sister channels]]. These dubs are also available on the official Indian [[YouTube]] channels.

==Localization==
{{main|List of Hindi Pokémon names}}
The [[Pokémon games]] are mostly available in English. [[Pokémon Smile]], [[Pokémon UNITE]], and [[Pokémon GO]] are the only Pokémon games to be localized into Hindi. With the launch of Hindi-language support in Pokémon GO on September 15, 2023, many Pokémon were given [[List of Hindi Pokémon names|new localized names]], rather than simply writing the English names in Devanāgarī script as had been done previously.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/hindi-availability-september-2023 Hindi language support for Pokémon GO! Celebrate with special events!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20231030054622/https://pokemongolive.com/post/hindi-availability-september-2023 archived])</ref><ref name="JourneyOfOneDreamHindi">[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2023-09-16/pokemon-goes-desi-celebrates-india-by-launching-pokemon-go-in-hindi-with-niantic/.202452 Pokémon Goes Desi, Celebrates India by Launching Pokémon GO in Hindi with Niantic] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230917092528/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2023-09-16/pokemon-goes-desi-celebrates-india-by-launching-pokemon-go-in-hindi-with-niantic/.202452 archived])</ref>

The [[Pokémon animated series]] has undergone dubbing primarily into Hindi, with the same dub being used for the Urdu feed as both languages are phonetically very similar, with modern vocabulary and grammar overlapping extensively. Additional dubbing has taken place in Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali. Furthermore, the English dub of the animated series is also accessible. The Hindi dub of the animated series which was produced before the games were localized uses the English names for Pokémon. However, all the local dubs inconsistently switch between the English names and direct translations for other Pokémon-related terminology, such as names of moves, abilities, and items. The Hindi dub of [[The Journey of One Dream]] was the first animated work to use the localized Hindi names for Pokémon, with {{OBP|Pokémon Horizons: The Series|season}} being the first main series season to do so.<ref name="HorizonsEvent"/> The Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali dubs continue to use the English names for Pokémon.

Most official [[Pokémon merchandise]] is available in English, as it is imported from Europe or the Americas rather than being localized.{{fact}}

==Pokémon video games==
[[Pokémon games]] and some [[Pokémon merchandise]], as well as other [[Nintendo]] products such as consoles and games, are available on online retail stores.

In the past, most games in Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka were sold by the Japanese Nintendo division (and by extension Nintendo of America). In Afghanistan, Nintendo Europe dealt with sales<ref>[http://www.nintendo.com/corp/distributors.jsp Nintendo - Distributors] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20080304201947/http://www.nintendo.com/corp/distributors.jsp archived])</ref> until 2021, when distribution halted in that country due to the {{wp|Fall of Kabul (2021)|invasion of Kabul}}.

Samurai Electronics sold NES in India from 1987 to 1994 under the name ''Samurai'', with support from Active Boeki. Next Nintendo consoles like SNES, Game Boy or Nintendo 64 were distributed in India by authorized distributor networka created by Active Boeki, but with smaller effort and big competition from gray market and clones.

====Cartoon Network and Pogo TV====
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|150px|Cartoon Network India and Pakistan logo]]
[[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] premiered on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} on May 12, 2003 as a part of its {{wp|Toonami}} block.<ref name="PokemonDebut" /> Following the first season, [[S02|Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] made its Indian debut in late 2003 and ended its run in mid-2004. In the same year, [[S03|Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]] and [[S04|Pokémon: Johto League Champions]] premiered on Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network sold DVDs of Pokémon in Hindi dub middle in 2004. A separate {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Cartoon Network}} feed affiliated with Cartoon Network India was launched for the Pakistani audience in 2004, and was also later made available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Due to this affiliation, both channels broadcast the animated series simultaneously. With [[S05|Pokémon: Master Quest]], Cartoon Network India introduced two additional dubs, Tamil and Telugu.<ref name="MasterQuestHindiTamilTelugu" /> The [[original series]] concluded its first complete run in mid-2005.

The first two seasons of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] and [[S07|Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]], made their South Asian debut in 2006.<ref name="ToonamiGameOn" /> While 2008 marked the first run for [[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]] and [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] in the respective territories. Unlike its predecessors, the ninth season aired on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut.

Furthermore, Cartoon Network introduced a one-hour block, ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon'', that aired reruns from the first seven seasons.

The [[S10|first season]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' premiered in Pakistan on November 9, 2009, making it the first season to air on the network before its debut on Cartoon Network India, which aired it a week later. Cartoon Network Pakistan skipped 23 episodes, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', due to unknown reasons and wrapped up the season in mere five weeks. However, the episodes were aired in their correct order during reruns. In early 2011, after an eight-year run on Cartoon Network India, the channel dropped Pokémon animated series after finishing [[S11|Pokémon DP: Battle Dimension]]'s first run.

[[File:Pogo logo.png|thumb|150px|right|Pogo TV logo]]
Later on, the animated series was picked up by Cartoon Network India's sister channel, {{wp|Pogo (TV channel)|Pogo}}. The channel aired [[S12|Pokémon DP: Galactic Battles]] and [[S13|Pokémon DP: Sinnoh League Victors]] in 2011. However, ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'' were skipped and aired later during reruns. After Pokémon Season 13's first run pogo removed tamil audio feed in Pokémon in October 25, 2011. In 2013, Pogo premiered the [[S14|fourteenth season]] of the animated series and some creative changes were made along with it, including new voice actors for the [[narrator]] and [[Delia Ketchum]] and several [[move]]s retained their English names. ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' were skipped, but they were later broadcast during reruns.

[[File:Pokémon BW logo India.png|thumb|150px|left|Alternate logo for the BW series]]
On June 27, 2014, {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} announced through [https://www.facebook.com/cartoonnetwork.india its official Facebook page] that Pokémon would be returning to Cartoon Network. The channel began airing [[S14|Pokémon: Black & White]] until ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics]]'', from July 2 to August 6, 2014. Pokémon: Black & White premiered on Cartoon Network Pakistan in the same year. During 2014, Cartoon Network India introduced several blocks like PokéHours, Poké-New Year, Karo Haasil to promote Pokémon: Black & White to audiences. It later finished the season's run by airing it at a late-night time slot. CN India also introduced an alternate logo for the series, which was used for promos but not within the episodes themselves.

====Disney India====
[[File:Hungama TV.png|thumb|right|150px|Hungama TV logo]]
Around the beginning of 2014, {{wp|Disney India|Disney}} bought the rights to the Pokémon animated series. However, Disney did not acquire the rights for the previous dubs, so the animated series was re-dubbed. The re-dubs have more {{wp|Hinglish}} words and sentences that the Cartoon Network dub, mirroring the recent trends in spoken Hindi in urban India.

[[File:Pokémon logo Southeast Asia.png|thumb|left|150px|Red Pokémon logo used for some seasons]]
With ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', Hungama TV began airing the [[original series]] on May 19, 2014. Unlike Cartoon Network and Pogo, since Hungama TV has no English audio feed, the animated series aired only in Hindi. Starting with [[S02|the second season]], the channel began to include the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment in episodes. As with the Cartoon Network airings, several episodes were skipped or aired out of order. Starting from [[S03|the third season]], the channel also started using [[Media:Pokémon logo Southeast Asia.png|a red logo]] for Pokémon, instead of [[Media:Pokémon logo English.png|the yellow one]] used internationally. Some episodes of the third season were aired with additional Tamil and Telugu dubs, but not all episodes were dubbed in those languages until [[S04|Johto League Champions]] started. From ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' to ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'', Hungama TV often skipped parts of the episode before the [[title card]], which were later restored during reruns on Disney XD. With [[S05|the fifth season]], Hungama TV aired the animated series continuously until ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar]]'' in June 2015. Disney XD began airing reruns of episodes that had already aired on Hungama TV with the first 10 episodes of [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] on August 7, 2016.

In addition, throughout the show's run on Hungama, a number of new blocks were introduced that were dedicated exclusively to the series, including ''PokéThon'', ''PokéVaar'', and ''PakdoThon''. Although Disney XD India had previously aired the first seven seasons after Hungama TV, new episodes moved to Disney XD India with episodes of [[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]] until ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' from May 7, 2018 to May 31, 2018.

:''Main articles: [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes]], [[List of Tamil Pokémon themes]], [[List of Telugu Pokémon themes]] and [[List of Bengali Pokémon themes]]
Like most dubs based on the English dub, the Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs under both Cartoon Network and Disney generally dub the [[List of English opening themes|original English openings]] into the respective language. Some songs used in episodes have also been dubbed.

From the middle of the second run of the season, Cartoon Network replaced the opening {{so|Black and White}} with an original Hindi opening named {{OBP|Pokémon: Black & White|Hindi song|Pokémon: Black & White Song Video}}. Cartoon Network and Pogo also created original songs for promos.

Hungama TV used an original {{OBP|Pokérap|Hindi song|Hindi PokéRap}} as the ending theme for the initial seasons and movies. Similar PokéRaps were also created as promos for upcoming seasons, including four live action raps made to promote the show as a whole.

Hungama TV normally skips the opening and ending themes of the movies entirely. In a few instances, the instrumental version of the theme is retained; for example, a portion of [[Battle Frontier (song)|Battle Frontier (Movie Version)]] on a loop served as the opening theme for the dub of the [[M08|eighth movie]] and an instrumental version of [[This is a Beautiful World]] as the ending theme to the [[M11|eleventh movie]].

For the release of the first 21 movies on [[#Voot/JioCinema|Voot Kids]] on October 15, 2021, all deleted scenes, including the opening and ending themes from the earlier movies, were restored. Since some movies under Disney use the Japanese version as the source instead of the English version, the themes for those movies are based on the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese themes]] instead. The Japanese openings and endings of the [[M01|first]] and [[M02|second]] movies were dubbed into Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, while the themes for the remaining movies are all left undubbed, with some of them using an instrumental version of the respective themes, and others keeping the Japanese or English vocals intact.

The Hindi version of the [[M17|seventeenth movie]] released on Voot Kids used the Hindi versions of [[We Will Be Heroes]], [[Battle Cry - (Stand Up!)]] and [[We Will Carry On!]] as the opening theme, while the Tamil and Telugu versions used an instrumental version of [[Pokémon Theme (Version XY)]] as the opening. However, the version of the movie aired on Marvel HQ had an instrumental version of Pokémon Theme (Version XY) as the opening theme for the Hindi dub as well.

For the Hindi dubs of movies released on Netflix, the [[M22|the twenty-second movie]] had the themes dubbed into Hindi while the [[M23|the twenty-third movie]] had themes left intact in English. The Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali dubs of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' released on [[YouTube]] left the English opening themes intact as well.

For the dubs of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', original soundtracks were composed by the duo {{wp|Vishal-Shekhar}} with vocals by {{wp|Bollywood}} artists {{wp|Armaan Malik}} for the opening theme [[Let's Get Started]] and {{wp|Shirley Setia}} for the ending theme [[Boom Kaboom]].<ref name="HorizonsEvent"/> Since it's release on the YouTube from 19th of July, 2024, the ending theme song has got a Bengali dubbed version of Boom Kaboom, making it the first time, a theme song has been dubbed for the animated series in Bengali.

The [[Pokémon Kids TV]] YouTube channel has released [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9f1RKBJr1142mrioEfp0_37lXqhg8NDw&si=Fhr9EgfsSNzTjRVU Hindi versions] of various Pokémon songs aimed at younger children.

Monarch Satoshi: /* Email */ new section

== Hey ==
Isn't it a bit embarrassing that the main help page links to two non-existant project pages? I'd consider either removing the links completely or starting the articles, no matter how little text there'd be.

==Website showing incorrect time zone==
Hi! I've tried changing my time zone on the Preferences pages because it was saying the time was an hour behind than the actual time in London, so i changed it to Europe/London time zone and it has stayed the same! The time is wrong, and i believe it is lagging the website as everything doesn't load properly since this issue began occurring. Could someone help me, please?

This keep happening to me and when I click on the link I get

''"No file by this name exists, you can upload it."'' '''Not just this page''' but many as well...

If any one can help I'd be grateful. --[[User:Riggins|Riggy(>0.0)>]] 04:06, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

::Odd when I upload said image it state there is a file by that name so I wonder how is there a PNG if it does not or has never existed? AND the file that ''the file doesn't exist'' shows up in archive? Can you explain this to me...--[[User:Riggins|Riggy(>0.0)>]] 04:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
:::It means that no one's had a chance to upload it yet. That happens with the sprites. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:44, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

:::: But when I check it, the sprites do exist and then when I try to upload a replacement I still can not see the sprite and I find there is a sprite for it already uploaded. It's not showing up for me.--[[User:Riggins|Riggy(>0.0)>]] 06:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::I'm not seeing any sprites at those filenames on the wiki at all. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:29, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Image:Spr_4p_065_m.png it said it's a duplicate of http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Image:065.png which is just one of the sprites not showing. If indeed this sprite is the missing Platinum sprite for Alakazam. If it exists why does it and others not show up on the page? and if as you say it was not uploaded then why is there it's sprite in that link. I'm very confused why I'm not seeing these images. --[[User:Riggins|Riggy(>0.0)>]] 06:36, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

:: TTEchidna your even using said sprite on your page --[[User:Riggins|Riggy(>0.0)>]] 06:38, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

:::You might have to make a null edit to the page with the sprite table in question to get the image to show up. A "null edit" is simply going into the editing phase, changing absolutely nothing, and hitting "Save page". It won't show up in the recent changes, but it works to refresh images and the like. (Edits that do show up in the recent changes also work to refresh images.) --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

:::: I dunno what's wrong I did like you said but the images in question still do not show. On the other hand the sprite I uplaoded is now showing up on the page. --[[User:Riggins|Riggy (>0.0)>]] 22:23, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

== Relearning move ==

If you have a Victreebel and you want it to relearn Acid, but you're dealing with before Generation 3, is this possible?--[[User:Tmwps|Thomas Michael William Patrick Sales]] 15:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
:This would be better answered by the simple questions thread on the forums. There is a way to relearn moves in Gen I and II: Stadium 2. But only if you beat the Elite Four and Champion in the GLC and use each one of your six Pokémon in a battle (they don't have to be sent out, just selected). '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:44, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
::The problem is, Acid's only in the Weepinbell's moveset not in Victreebell's. Would it still register if I were to do the selfsame thing on Pokémon Stadium 1?--[[User:Tmwps|Thomas Michael William Patrick Sales]] 09:41, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Then, no. If it isn't in the learnset it can't be relearned. I can't answer for Stadium, but as TTE said this kind of thing is best suited for the Bulbagarden forums. This is a help page ''about the wiki'', not about how to beat your game. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 09:46, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

:Server fail. 504 pops up when loading fails, 503 says hello when saving fails. The last time it happened, they were dumping all the data from our server onto another, or something along those lines, so the whole site was locked down. It's no biggie. If you see it, don't constantly hit refresh. That ''can'' make any problems worse. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 09:09, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
::So we're currently under construction, are we?--[[User:Tmwps|Thomas Michael William Patrick Sales]] 09:43, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Yes, hence images suck atm. Look around, it's on half the talk pages. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 09:46, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
::::Heh. I still get it now.--[[User:Tmwps|Thomas Michael William Patrick Sales]] 16:48, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

:When you're on a page that's been redirected, like [[Pikachu|this]], at the top it will say, "Redirected from <page>." Click on <page> and it'll take you to the redirect page.

== Can we add a new page? ==

I came here with the intention of building an "Unused type combination" page via my userpages and then transferring it to an actual page when I was satisfied with it, but I can't create pages, let alone userpages, due to the rules of this site. So is there any chance we could build that page? This page would contain the following:
* Full list of unused types
* Full list of unused types that doesn't include formes (this list would remove Rotom formes/etc)
* Each typing would have it's strengths and weaknesses table (hidden until opened by the viewer).

Not only would this page serve as an interesting trivia page about what types have yet to be used, but if those types are ever introduced, we'll have all of the charts already made. One day hopefully we'd be able to dissolve the page when all types are used. [[User:Kangasbro|Kangasbro]] ([[User talk:Kangasbro|talk]]) 03:30, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

== baby text follow up ==

So, the new updated baby Template:Cardtext/Baby template you mentioned me does not support [[Smoochum_(Aquapolis_61)|this card]]. Thought I'd let you know! :) [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 13:40, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
:UPDATE: It won't support any of the babies of {{TCG|Aquapolis}}. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 14:11, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
::I have addressed this issue [[User:Maverick Nate/Babies|one year ago Sunday]], and we will get to it. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 15:02, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

== card infobox print ==

Shouldn't the card shown in the info box of [[Delcatty_(EX_Ruby_%26_Sapphire_5)|this card]] be the most recent one (EX Power Keepers) ? It has the same code in the same order than [[Blaziken_(EX_Ruby_%26_Sapphire_3)|this one]], which shows the most recent one. How do you do that? [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 15:55, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
:It cycles on a timer. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 17:10, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

== CP6 ==

Hi. I was just wondering for the cards from the Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary subset, are we redirecting to the original Base Set article or creating a new article? — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 20:53, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
:Only reprints are ever redirected to their original article. If the card features any gameplay-differing differences, then it is considered a brand new card. If the card plays the same as its retro print, then it should be redirected to the Original Era card, as it is only then considered a reprint. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:59, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
::Actually, may I know the difference between [[Charmeleon (Base Set 24)]] and [[Charmeleon (Expansion Pack 20th 10)]]? And if so, may I request to have a check on the CP6 articles I recently created and delete accordingly? — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 21:04, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
:::All the articles you've created so far are fine. Kakuna has a different attack effect for Stiffen, causing the attack to play differently. Mew has an Ability instead of a Pokémon Power, which makes the Expansion Pack 20th Anniversary Mew interact with cards like {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Garbodor|54}} while the Original Era Mew would not. Koffing is Psychic type and not Grass type, making it interact with different cards' Weaknesses and Resistances. Charmeleon's attack damages are different. Honestly I'm expecting there to be far fewer exact reprints than brand new cards. I was actually pretty surprised when I looked at Caterpie and realized they were the same. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 21:13, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
::::So apparently, only Caterpie and Weedle are exact reprints. I have make a mistake on [[Hitmonchan (Expansion Pack 20th 60)]] and realized that they are two different cards, because of the HP and attack damages. I may have accidentally blanked the article, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 04:26, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

== TCG vs tt template ==

So, while I understand the uses of when we link a Ppkémon to its TCG card page when talking about the card name, but can you explain [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Feebas_(EX_Hidden_Legends_61)&curid=53698&diff=2509054&oldid=2508992 this edit] ? I would like to know why we shouldn't use the tt template instead, it makes it read as <code>Search your deck for a card that evolves from this Pokémon</code> which is more than accurate. Anyway, I've undone [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Vulpix_(EX_Hidden_Legends_81)&curid=31160&diff=2509064&oldid=2509043 this one] too in case it should stay like it was. I'm waiting for your input on this ! :) [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 01:17, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
:A card that evolves from Vulpix won't only evolve from the specific EX Hidden Legends Vulpix, but any card printed with the name ''Vulpix''. Thus, that reference isn't only talking about that specific card and is linked accordingly. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 01:21, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

== adding merchandise ==

Let's say that I want to add merchandise to the page that doesn't have it. For example [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/battle-heart-tin this one]. How shall I proceed? Because I saw that many were missing. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 00:58, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
:Find the appropriate Series of merchandise it belongs to, along with any relevant news stories, tweets, and images on Bulbanews and Archives. Post it chronologically with all of those links on the merchandise page, with a paragraph or two that includes all there is to know about the products and any exclusive merch inside them, written in such a way that makes the prose for that section distinct from the ones before it. (That page for this set of tins would be [[XY BREAK TCG Series merchandise|this one]].) Give the section any relevant subsections like ''Promo cards'' and ''Product images''. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 01:28, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
::The XY BREAK Series merchandise page is at least 30 products behind, so as with everything, it is preferred slash advised that as many are posted in {{tt|as few edits as possible|read: one}} rather than adding each individual product one by one. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 01:31, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

== template modification ==

[[Template:TCGGallery|This template]] needs to be updated to accept at least 16 cards (15 current) in order to add every print of [[Gym_Badge_(XY-P_Promo)|this card]]. [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 15:03, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
:You're probably working on this at the very moment, but just to let you know, you forgot a "|" after the line <code>| {{#if: {{{image16|}}}||style="display:none;"}} |</code>{{tt|*|look into the page code or else you won't see it full}} and so for every line after a 3rd consecutive print (so 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, etc.) [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 20:32, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

== Viewing articles in a cross-section of categories ==

Hey man, been awhile. I just started a desk job where I have a fair amount of down time, so I figure I'll do a little work in my free time. Anyway, quick question that I should know the answer to: is there anywhere I can put in two or more categories and see all the article that are in both/all of said categories? Thanks. --[[User:Politoed666|'''Politoed''']][[User talk:Politoed666|'''666''']] 21:25, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
:Hey there! Glad to see you back! From what I can tell, I don't think this exists. I looked into the Special pages too, and don't see anything that looks like it will do what you want. Sorry I can't be any help! ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 23:46, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

== Quick question! ==

Hi! I'm fairly new here, and while flipping through random pages to look for things that need editing, I noticed that the image we have for EX Legend Maker {{TCG ID|EX Legend Maker|Aron|48}} has some sort of funky scuff mark (maybe pen?) near the 20 for Headbutt's damage. Is there a way we could get a better image? Is there someone else I should notify to get a better picture? (If I had the card I would scan it myself but alas...) I'm still finding my way around here so thanks for any help! [[User:Terra Antiqua|Terra Antiqua]] ([[User talk:Terra Antiqua|talk]]) 21:54, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

== Evolutions ==

I mean, I don't want to direct traffic to the TCG without your consent :P ..but I knew about the hatnote, which I think is just fine for those who type in "Evolution" and expect to land at the TCG expansion. And it's really hard for me to imagine how someone typing in "Evolutions" is that much more likely to look for the concept rather than the expansion that a hatnote is the way to go. I was actually torn between a disambiguation and a redirect to the TCG (and another hatnote there). So, are you really sure? Or is there maybe something more to it, something I'm missing? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 23:11, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
:I try my best to avoid disambiguations, so I've redirect Evolutions to the expansion and added new hatnotes there. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 08:16, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

== Hyper Rares. ==

Just a quick question to be sure. For the purpose of the {{TCG|Full Art card}} page, the new Hyper Rares count as Full Arts, right? Or will they be considered something else? [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] ([[User talk:Metalizard|talk]]) 19:13, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
:Yeah. I think it is fine to say that they are. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 22:48, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

== SM001 Sun & Moon ==

Hi. Just wondering if I'm good to go or would you want to upload the images before I do the edits. Just to inform you, I have already done ALL the Pokémon (excluding Trainer/GX/Rare Secret/Rare Ultra/Hyper Rare), all I need is to press submit for all of them. And for Cosmog, Cosmoem, and Eevee having the Collection Sun and Collection Moon Pokédex entries differences and the English entries having use the Pokémon Sun Dex entries. Should I put as "Sun & Moon/Collection Sun prints" or "{{tt|Sun & Moon|Collection Sun}} print"? And they have made changes of "his or her hand" into "their" hand, should I just leave it with "their" on the article? — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 09:24, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
:I won't be getting to scans anytime soon, so they are good to go as is. Change all instances to "their" since that is what is written as the cardtext now. Follow the precedence listed on [[Slurpuff (Generations RC20)]]; list "Pokédex entry (Sun & Moon print)" and "Pokédex entry (Collection Moon print)".

Hey there. I don't know if you've seen my last response in my Talk page but I just finished the page: {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}}. Check it to see if everything is okay. [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] ([[User talk:Metalizard|talk]]) 18:08, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

::Cool, man. Glad you liked it. btw, I wanted to ask you about something else. The last time I updated the {{TCG|Full Art card}} page, I added the recent UR Double Colorless Energy from SM1+ to the list, however, first, I don't know if it is supposed to be considered a Full Art and second, if it is, I'm guessing the template has to be updated (or there's a way to do it and I don't know) cause I can't make it to show the entry for the card properly (namely, it shows the fire energy symbol by default instead of the colorless energy symbol after the 'E'). I ended up hiding the entry in the code for now. [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] ([[User talk:Metalizard|talk]]) 21:45, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

== Sun & Moon Expansion 3 ==

If it's okay with you, I have made a page about To Have Seen The Battle Rainbow/Darkness That Consumes Light. There was a picture with the card packs, with one featuring [[Ho-Oh]], the other featuring [[Necrozma]]. It also shows the release date for its debut in Japan, along with the number 150. I'm not sure if that's the total amount of the cards in the set.

== Regarding TCG cards that have different effects in different languages ==

Hello, Maverick Nate. I have noticed that several cards like [[Grimer (Team Rocket 57)|this Grimer]] have differences between the English and Japanese release. I was wondering if it would be alright to create a category to note these cards. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 22:26, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

== TFG conditions. ==

Not sure if it's good idea to link Duel figures to that article, since paralysis works differently than in TFG (for reference, it now always chooses the smallest non-miss piece and turns it into Miss; this will affect all instances of that piece like the four dodges on {{TFG ID|Duel|Metagross|11}}). Should I add the conditions/markers that are in Duel or would that be better suited for a separate article? [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 22:48, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
:Looking at it, I think a separate page at {{redlink|Special Conditions (Duel)}} would be better suited for this situation. Otherwise, I'm not the person taking charge of this side game, given that I haven't ever played it, I'm simply filling in the jname and jtrans for attacks and Abilities. It may be worth asking {{u|MisterE13}} for his opinion, as he is the user taking charge of this side game. That being said, if you could add the jname and jtrans for Dodge and Miss going forward, I would appreciate it.

== Pokémon Legend image link ==

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Pok%C3%A9mon_LEGEND.png

I noticed on this page that most if not all pages that are noted to link to the image do not contain a link or even the image itself on their pages. Most of the card pages are from the Delta Species era of the TCG. Whereas cards such as [[Lugia LEGEND (HeartGold & SoulSilver 113)|Lugia]] which do use and link to the image are not listed as linking to that image. Is this an error or did I miss something when looking through the card pages? ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 17:43, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Your list is only showing the 100 pages created the longest ago. All the LEGENDS appear at the bottom of the total pages, since their era is after the initial creation of all the EX Series pages.

== Alternate prints from Best of XY ==

Quick question: Are the alternate prints (originally from the Best of XY) released in the Mega Powers Collection supposed to be added to their respective set pages (e.g: M-Lucario-EX FA added to Furious Fists set page) or something else like a page listing them? [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] ([[User talk:Metalizard|talk]]) 16:29, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
:I was thinking we make some sort of promo page for them, but then also include them in the Additional cards list on the set pages. If any come up as alternates for black star promos, then listing them in-line with the rest of the promotional cards. Does that cover all the bases?

I'll create a page using the same template from the Miscellaneous promo cards/Jumbo cards (I think it's the one that fits the most in this case) and also list them in their set page like you said. Just one more question for now: The official site uses the term "Yellow A Alternate cards". I was thinking about making that the page name but also mention in the text that they are commonly referred to Alternate art prints (or something along those lines). Is that okay?

== TCG linking ==

Sorry for bothering again, I noticed when checking the main tcg pages for Pokemon that it states the Pokémon species names but does not link to that Pokémon's article.

== SM4 Japanese names ==

Are we translating the SM4 Japanese expansions as "The Awoken Hero • The Transdimensional Beast"? I thought I asked before creating the page. And while I am here, can I request for deletion of my userspace pages: [[User:Ruixiang95/(Evolution for Future Gen Part2)|this]], [[User:Ruixiang95/(Evolve form for future generations)|this]], [[User:Ruixiang95/(Starter Pokémon)|this]], [[User:Ruixiang95/Aim to Be a Pokémon Master (single)|this]], [[User:Ruixiang95/SpritesFusion|this]] and [[User:Ruixiang95/The Greatest Everyday|this]]?

:::I've deleted the pages. As for the set names, I've ultimately gone with '''{{TCG|Awakened Heroes}}''' and '''{{TCG|Ultradimensional Beasts}}'''. As a general rule, set names don't contain any of the articles ''a, an'' or ''the'', unless they are linguistically forced to. Additionally, Pokémon has always officially treated the past tense of the word ''wake'' to be "awakened", and has literally never used "awoken" ({{TCG|Legends Awakened}}, [[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]], etc.). As for the other half, although transdimensional may(?{{tt|*|I say may but I'm giving more credit than deserved}}) be more common in English, another accurate translation for the suffix 超- is Ultra- instead of Trans-, which as the set is introducing [[Ultra Beast]]s from [[Ultra Space]], '''Ultradimensional Beasts''' fits the brand more accurately. I know that a certain website has already hap-haphazardly translated the set names as the names you've presented, however, they are notorious for missing how the TCG connects to the Pokémon brand and franchise as a whole (that also goes for translations of individual cards in addition to set names and such). I appreciate you coming to me first before creating the pages, because we are able push forward with the best representation of the content instead of having to retrace our steps later.

== TCG Illustrator lists ==

This is probably not that important but thought I would ask anyways as you are the current head of the TCG. Why is it that some illustrators simply have Category lists linked for all the cards they have illustrated while others just have an in-page list? Would it not make sense to have artists who have far longer lists be given collapsible tables with lists for each card from each set they have made? I plan to expand some of the TCG illustrator lists later but I do not want to touch the pages of artists who have extensive lists before then. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 12:06, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
:It all came down to time and man-power. The pages that are only three sentences and then a massive list of pages were the old style, and we were in the middle of converting them into actually informative pages. Since we already had pages that were lists of illustrated cards (categories), we removed them from the information pages because there's no reason repeating such trivial bulk stats. [[Masakazu Fukuda]] and [[Atsuko Nishida]] are the style of illustrator pages we're looking for. Anything that currently still has the list of cards illustrated are outdated compared to what we are currently looking for. We just didn't make it to update those ones yet.

== About List of Abilities ==

Sorry for any bother due by my changes on Pokémon Power article. The Outdated template on top of the page is confusing: it says that the article needs list of abilities. Also, Pokémon Power article, when it talk about Abilities, link to the Ability article, which states that Abilities are a renaming of Pokémon Powers. Should we delete that template and modify that statement maybe?
This template {{TCG|Ability}} redirect to {{TCG|Pokémon Power}} too.
Anyway, I have just noticed that the user {{User|Yuvira}}(previously RetroKitty) asked you about a possible List of Ability more than one year ago. Also just read a secion named "Lists (Again)" on your Talk page.
Given that Yuvira seems no longer active and given that we still need a list of Abilities on Bulbapedia, is there any chance of using what I've already written, for a new section which can be integrated in the Ability article? [[User:Laspandrea|Laspandrea]] ([[User talk:Laspandrea|talk]]) 11:30, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
:Absolutely! Sorry, I meant to get back to you about that. If you want to edit the content of [[Ability (TCG)]] to be a page about Abilities in the card game and use what you've already written, that would be the best course of action. Thematically, card affects that affect Pokémon Powers and card effects that affect Abilities are not interchangable, so we need to keep the two concepts separate from one another. Other editors who don't understand the difference probably added those "Ability content needed" tags to the Power page.

== Request to change, divide, remove and renew "List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions" ==

Throughout the history of this page there has been suggestions to divide the page into List of English Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions and List of Pokémon Japanese Trading Card Game expansions.

The English primary focus has meant that Japanese info is sometimes wrong eg set icons or missing eg set abbreviations many Japanese sets are also missing. This has also led to COMPLETELY ignoring sets released in other languages meaning it is extremely difficult to find what languages had which sets. The way the page is set also means that mini-sets and promos are also ignored.

I am requesting approval to remove the "List of Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions" page and replace it with the following pages;

-List of English Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets - where most of the info will be transferred but also include promo-sets and mini-sets without increasing the sets number.

-List of Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets - where most of the info will be transferred but also include promo-sets and mini-sets without increasing the sets number.

-List of German Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets

-List of French Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets

-List of Dutch Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets

-List of Spanish Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets

-List of Korean Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets

-List of Chinese Pokémon Trading Card Game Sets

== Sample Set Info ==

Hi there, I've signed up for BP just to ask you a question about Sample Set. It seems you've made some substantial contributions to articles about some cards from this set – my interest in Sample Set comes from the fact it used e-Card ID numbers in the format M-##; this is the same ID number format assigned to the 9 cards in EX Team Magma VS Team Aqua that supported the e-Card technology. In trying to figure out why these nine cards, which use ID numbers M-01, M-03, M-04, M-15, M-16, M-23, M-24, and M-70, have so many gaps in sequence, without any apparent cards from EX Team Magma VS Team Aqua, that would fill in the gaps, I stumbled on the fact Sample Set used M-## as well.

My first thought was a-ha, case closed. However, M-04 Sample is Koffing, and M-04 TMvTA is Psyduck. I've drafted a write-up about my interest in these cards [[https://medium.com/@INTERNETFRIEND_83649/an-unknown-and-unsolved-mystery-of-the-pokémon-e-tcg-ex-team-magma-vs-team-aqua-and-sample-set-e12608909f7f]]; I'm wondering if you have any more information about these cards or could point me in the direction of resources or individuals that might; if there's any info or interest, I'd love for you to reach out to me on Twitter at @NICOTINEFRIEND or by email at pokvarensocialscene@gmail.com

== Hello and best wishes ==

Hey Nate, not sure if you'll see this (or if you remember me!) - hope you've been well! I noticed on the front page just now that you're no longer in charge of Bulbapedia's TCG and thought I'd drop you a message. Firstly, congratulations on steering the ship for so long - we both started on the project at roughly the same time, which must be ''at least ten flipping years ago'' at this point - some things change, but apparently our shared soft spot for the TCG hasn't, despite how much the game itself has. I think it's absolutely incredible and impressive beyond words that you've been involved in the project for so long and goes to show how valued you must be. On the (not so rare) occasion that I find myself reminiscing about classic TCG, I always find myself here - you and your team have built up an incredible resource over the years. Whatever you're up to these days, I hope you're keeping well. All the best, and take care!

== Poképhilia ==
I would like to make a page for Poképhilia. This is what I would write:

'''Poképhilia''' is a paraphilia where [[Humans]] possess a sexual and, or, romantic attraction towards [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]].

=== Overview ===
==== Ancient Times ====
The full history of Poképhilia in the franchise has largely been left ambiguous and open to interpretation for the most part, however, throughout the franchise, there have been notable clues and references about Humans in the distant past who had participated in romantic and possibly even sexual relationships with Pokémon.

This is arguably best shown in the ''[[Sinnoh_myths#Sinnoh_Folk_Tales|Sinnoh Folk Story 3]]'', in which there can be found an excerpt of a supposed myth or legend implying that Humans and Pokémon were once free to be married.

: ''"There once were Pokémon that''

: ''became very close to humans.''

: ''There once were humans and Pokémon''

: ''that ate together at the same table.''

: ''It was a time when there existed no''

: ''differences to distinguish the two."''
==== Modern Age ====
It's uncertain if Poképhilia still occurs in the modern world or if it is now largely seen as a taboo.
=== Trivia ===
*Some fans have theorized that one of the reasons why certain Humans in the franchise are capable of using strange powers such as [[aura]] or [[telepathy]] is because they may have been descended from a previous union between Humans and Pokémon though this remains unconfirmed.

The reason I moved it in the first place was because it was helpful to be able to use the ga template, which I read are preferred over direct links, due to CPU overheads? or something like that. [[User:Finger|Finger]] ([[User talk:Finger|talk]]) 02:41, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
:The <code><nowiki>{{ga}}</nowiki></code> template is preferred over <code><nowiki>[[____(game)|____]]</nowiki></code>a direct link when the disambiguation is used. But theres no need to force usage of that template when the page names dont work with it. When we add the (game) to a page name, the only reason for doing so would be if the name of the game conflicts with some other property and we need to disambiguate between the two, this isn't the case here so thats why I reverted your move. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 09:42, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

:It is used for what it's designed to do, the purpose of link templates in general is to ease up on the code when linking to pages that have a disambiguation as exampled above, that we dont want to include in the articles text. That's games like {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|video game}} or {{OBP|Pokémon Trading Card Game|video game}}. The template is designed for such situations, not to link to every game where a disambiguation isn't required, since you can just do that with a standard link, and making a template for that would be adding complexity, not removing it.

== How to format articles for books only featured as one half of a flip book ==

Hello. You are listed as a contact for Project Merchandise, so I figured you could answer my question. I contacted nuva-kal, the other Project Merchandise contact, a couple days ago about this, but he hasn't responded yet. So I figured it may be good to ask you as well.

I recently found a collection of 4 Pokémon flip books published by Scholastic in 2021, and they appear to be totally undocumented on Bulbapedia. The collection as a whole is called the "Pokémon Super Special Chapter Book Collection", and each of the flip books is labelled as "Super Special Flip Book #x". With the exception of the two stories in Super Special Flip Book #4, [[I Choose You! (book)|I Choose You!]] and [[Ash Ketchum, Pokémon Detective]], all of the stories in the collection appear to have been adapted specifically for this collection, and do not exist outside of it. For instance, Super Special Flip Book #1 contains "Gigantamax Clash" and "Battle for the Z-Ring", and neither of these exist as standalone books, at least as far as I could find.

So my question is this. Should separate articles be created for each individual story? For instance, Gigantamax Clash would get its own page, Battle for the Z-Ring would get its own page, etc.? Or should both of those be folded into a single article on Super Special Flip Book #1? If each story gets its own page, should separate pages also be made for the flip books themselves? For instance, should there be articles on Gigantamax Clash, Battle for the Z-Ring, and Super Special Flip Book #1? And should the collection as a whole have its own page?

Thank you.

I have found a standalone version of another of the flip books featured in this collection: Helena Mayer's "The Power of Three," featured in Super Special Flip Book #3. It may yet be possible that all of these books exist in standalone form, just not documented on Bulbapedia. If that does turn out to be the case, then that at least resolves the question posed by the section title. However, I am still curious about how articles about the flip books or collections of flip books should be handled.

:I think it really depends on how much we can say about each one. For now, I would say write out a draft in your userspace somewhere of what an ideal page would look like. I'm inclined to say each story deserves its own page, with a page on the series of items as a whole, but I'm not really familiar with the topic so it's hard to for me to envision what those articles look like.

Hello Maverick, I was wondering if you could please look into the [[Pokémon League (Hoenn)]] page, as I have had two people undo a revision without discussion on the talk page. I have invited people to discuss on the page so we can come to a common consensus, but a second person just came in to revert it again and I would like to get an administrator to weigh in, if possible. Thank you! [[User:Cinder24|Cinder24]] ([[User talk:Cinder24|talk]]) 06:30, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

::One more note: I just noticed that the second person who reverted my edit without any discussion is Force Fire, somebody who I noticed you recently had issues with in regards to his treatment of other Bulbapedia contributors. I just felt that the blunt nature of his edit wasn't really called for, so I wanted to bring it up. I am relatively new to Bulbapedia and I am still learning what the norm is for editing notes, so I am not sure if it is something that is unacceptable or not. If his editing note was satisfactory, then you can ignore this paragraph. However I just felt that there could have been some dialogue, so if you think that it wasn't handled in the best way, I would really appreciate a weigh-in!

== Bulbapedia block appeal ==

It's after August 19, 2024, and I humbly ask if there's a possibility for me to be unblocked so I can edit the following pages:
*{{cat|Hybrid consoles}}
*[[Nintendo Switch]]
*[[Nintendo Switch Lite]]
*[[Nintendo Switch – OLED Model]]
*[[Pokémon of Myth]]
*[[Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)]]
First of all, I got permanently blocked from editing the Nintendo Switch pages on October 27, 2021 for [[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy#Edit/revert wars|edit warring]], and second of all, I got permanently blocked from editing the Pokémon of Myth pages on March 4, 2022 for changing the text "creation trio" to "primordial chaos" [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|here]] and tagging "Creation trio" and "Creation trio (Adventures)" for moving to "Primordial chaos" and "Primordial chaos (Adventures)" respectively. I believe my appeal should be accepted because I want to make better edits on the Nintendo Switch pages and the Pokémon of Myth pages. I also want to let you know, on August 25, 2023, [[User:Jacob9594|another user]] moved the pages "Creation trio" and "Creation trio (Adventures)" to "Pokémon of Myth" and "Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)" respectively because "Pokémon of Myth" is the official term referring to a legendary trio consisting of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Finally, if I'm unblocked, I will keep the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch – OLED Model considered to be a hybrid console (both a home console and a handheld console), discuss a major change, addition, and/or removal, and never tag the hybrid consoles category for deletion. Thanks! [[User:SaturnMario|SaturnMario]], [[User talk:SaturnMario|his talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/SaturnMario|his contributions]] 19:17, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
:So, I'll be very upfront here. Your block appeal is denied, and here's why. While the one year time frame offered to you has expired, your actions during that one year time frame indicate to me that you haven't used that time to learn ''why'' you were banned in the first place and improve. Your bans are in place because of edit warring by re-adding controversial edits over and over throughout the pages' histories. Even after your previous blocks expired, you went back to continue the edit warring without using the talk pages to discuss your edits with others. Bulbapedia is a collaborative space, so it begs input from everyone. You are blocked from editing the pages because the staff team finds it necessary for you to use talk pages to ask about your controverisal edits and come to a consensus with other editors on what should be changed on the pages. Honestly, until we see that happen, any future block appeals are going to be denied. You don't *need* to have access to edit those pages to make an impact on them. The talk pages are still there and open for you to contribute to.
:Because I think it's valuable to offer you another time frame, any block appeals in between now and '''September 1, 2025''' will not be considered. But, because I think it needs to be said, until we see you '''use talk pages to discuss edits with others''', it is highly unlikely that any future block appeals will be approved. We need some sort of indication that you've learned the lessons that brought about the blocks in the first place.

== Chien-Pao ex Asian-countries stamps ==

Hey Nate, I've noticed the {{TCG|Paldea Evolved}} page says there are 8 stamped versions of Chien-Pao ex 061. 4 countries (HK, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore) which is fine, but 2 versions for each country (according to your edit on the PAL page). What is the difference between the 2 versions? I'm confused by the 'Regional' vs non-regional wording. Just trying to clarify things, maybe they're the same versions and were added erroneously, and there are only 4. Thanks in advance! {{unsigned|mattfeeder18}}
:Hi! What I'm pretty sure is, the Championship stamp is a [https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/3/6/36e7062271f890ba0404c622ae74bed338f927d3.jpeg yellow stamp that doesn't note the specific tournament], but the Regionals stamp is a [https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/b/9/b93165abe26968114518e094b097d3761faaaddb.jpeg blue stamp that says 'regionals'].

== Request ==

Can I request that you look into FinnishPokeFan's latest edits because he/she seems to be constantly changing my edits by rewording things when they were fine the way they were. I don't have a problem if he/she adds things that need to be added or fixes mistakes, but he/she seems to be doing this constantly lately and I'm sure that this is because he/she is targeting me. He/she seems to have a problem with me for a while now and apparently these rewordings are fine, despite the fact that they don't need to have reworded. Because quite frankly, I'm sick of being targeted like this. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:17, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
:As an example, he/she changed the description of Manectric using the move Electric Terrain in the anime and some of the edits added nothing new to it, but according to Tiddlywinks, it's completely fine to reword things, even though some of the edits were completely and utterly unnecessary. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:19, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
::Hey there. First, I want to start off by saying that when you first registered for Bulbapedia, you accepted that ''"all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors."''. I understand that having your edits altered or undone constantly can be frustrating, but the anime-related articles are often high traffic pages on the wiki, so it comes with the territory. Since both you and FinnishPokeFan are both frequent contributors to the anime section and the pages you edit often overlap, it's difficult for me to conclude that ''you'' specifically are being targeted rather than simply the subject of your edits. I've noticed that you and FinnishPokeFan disagree on quite a few topics, but I notice that majority of the time, you do not communicate with each other beyond edit summaries. If you disagree with actions that users make the best action would be reach out on their talkpage (or any talk page) and try to find understanding. If they refuse to engage with you after that, ''then'' we could try to look into taking further intervention. Reverting edits that you felt were unnecessary simply as a means of revenge isn't the best way to go about the situation either. The bottom line is, nothing policy breaking has occurred as of now, there's not much that can be done. Not everyone on Bulbapedia is going to get along and that's not a realistic expectation, but user feuds cannot get to the point where it becomes detrimental to the progress of the site.

== Anime Pokémon pages ==

Sorry to bring this to you but there is a massive back log of Anime Pokémon pages that I am certain are notable enough for mainspacing; {{red link|User:Pattyman/Florges (anime)}}, {{red link|User:Pattyman/Meyer's Blaziken}}, {{red link|User:05308/Professor Sycamore's Garchomp}}, {{red link|User:05308/Diantha's Gardevoir}}, {{red link|User:05308/Chespie}}, {{red link|User:05308/Z2}} and also maybe {{red link|User:05308/Lugia (anime)}}. Though some aren't quite up-to-date, I find nobody bothers to do much to a page that isn't mainspaced, besides, there are many mainspace pages that are not quite as up-to-date as they need to be (I mean anime Pokémon pages specifically).

I was also wondering wheather the anime counterparts of both Professor Sycamore and Lysandre should be given there own page? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 17:50, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

== Clemont's Magnemite ==

I already brought this up with Force Fire but have not been given an answer yet and was told to bring it up with someone else. So I was wondering where you stood on Clemont's Magnemite. Notability rules say that Pokémon that are owned by Clemont are notable if they appeared in more than one episode and Magnemite has finally done that. So can the page {{red link|User:Rahl/Clemont's Magnemite}} be moved to the mainspace?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 19:50, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
:While Clemont's Magnemite does ''technically'' meet the notability requirements, the Editorial Board feels that Clemont's Magnemite in particular is not notable. It only had very brief appearances and we feel that there's not enough information about it to warrant a page for it at this time. If we were to mainspace it, it would most likely remain a stub and it's not very worth it. We are currently in the process of adjusting/updating the anime notability requirements so it will be more clear on what to do in situations like this one.

:While it's extremely likely that Dawn's Buneary is indeed a female, it's Bulbapedia policy to abide by what the Japanese version of the anime refers to it as. Unfortunately, it's never been explicitly stated or confirmed that it is a female Pokémon on the original version, so that's how it should be referred to as in the article. There have been some situations in the past where Pokémon have been referred to as one gender in the original version and another in the dub, so doing things this ways ensures that the Japanese version will always take precedence.

== Reducing clutter on [[Season]] ==

Hi there! I recently noticed that our [[Season]] page has a lot of unnecessary clutter — season boundaries only differed between broadcast and home video prior to the second Advanced Generation season, yet for some reason we list them separately even for more recent seasons.

== List of voice actors page ==

Should Pokemon Generations voice actors have their role mentioned on the page List of Japanese voice actors? Because there are quite a few voice actors who don't have their role mentioned on that page. Also would it be relevant for Takehito Koyasu and Yosuke Akimoto to have their own page? Because I'm planning to make a page for each of them and I believe that at least Koyasu would be relevant as he had voiced Butch in the Japanese dub of the anime but in Akimoto's case I'm not too sure if his role as Dr Fuji in Mewtwo Strikes Back, Birth of Mewtwo(Radio Drama) and Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin would be notable enough.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 07:15, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah, Pokémon Generations VAs should have their roles mentioned on the List of Japanese Voice Actors page. As for the two voice actors you mentioned, Takehito Koyasu definitely meets the Project VA notability requirements. Dr. Fuji would probably fall under the recurring category so I'd be okay with Yosuke Akimoto having a page as well. If you draft up the two pages in your userspace I'll be happy to review/mainspace them right away. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

== Takehito Koyasu Page ==

Hi, I've finished the draft for the page Koyasu, so could you please have a look over it to see if it is worthy to be mainspaced along with checking is anything is missing?. The Akimoto page is still currently being worked on. The Yosuke Akimoto page is still being worked on but will be ready soon to be looked over as a draft.
I would like to ask if there is a way where all 'incomplete' stub messages can be viewed? Because I feel in the future I will be using them quite a lot.
Also I would like to ask if the following voice actors would be relevant for their own article:
* Yuichi Nakamura: only did N in the anime but he was a prominent recurring character who even travelled with the group for a bit so I believe he would be relevant
* Takahiro Sakurai: May not be as notable but played a recurring role as Sandshrew in the anime and Watt from the AG series who appeared more than once
* Wataru Takagi: Played Fergus from M01 and Vladimir in AG series who appears more than once in AG series
* Atsuko Tanaka: Played Pike Queen Lucy and Lenora(who appeared in more than one episode, one being a gym battle and the other in another episode in person)
* Rie Tanaka: Played Solidad and Mars who both had frequent appearances in their respective series(AG and DP)
* Nobuo Tobita: Brycen who's appearances were both large in the episodes he appeared in
* Kosuke Toriumi: Played Saizo who was prominent in the two episodes of appearance despite being COTD
* Tetsuya Kakihara: Reggie who appeared numerous times throughout the DP series
* Mikako Komatsu: Mairin who appears many times throughout the XY anime
* Koji Yusa: May not be too prominent in terms of number of appearances but did play Drake(Orange League) who appeared twice during his battle against Ash

==Quick questions==
Hi, I have a few questions I would like to ask regarding a few things,
* Do voice actors have to have a biography? Because I noticed that some such as Aoi Yuki have a biography.
* I saw that many voice actor pages have stubs on them. Is that because technically their roles are always expanding or is there some other reason?
* Would Kensho Ono be worthy of his own page? He played Alain who had a major role in the XY series and the Mega Evolution specials?
* Do edits to then userspaced pages count towards mainspace edits when they become mainspaced? And is there a way to count number of edits? Because I'm striving to become one of the top contributors of the month and just asking out of curiosity.
* Following the previous question, would it be advised against to edit a large number of articles in a small amount of time such as over the course of one day? Just need to know so I don't cause server problems.
* About the usertag "This user has beaten Bulbabot", can it only be used by those who beat Bulbabots number of contributions in one month?
Thanks ahead[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 11:52, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
:I'll try to break down everything you asked below:
*Let me run this by the rest of the Editorial Board since it doesn't seem like there's ever been any established guidelines on that front.
*Many VA articles have been marked stubs because traditionally stub pages are considered pages that are very short, which is the case a lot of the time for VA articles. However, this blanket application of marking them as stubs are probably something we should be getting away from moving forward. In the future, we'll probably go through and unmark the articles that are considered "complete".
*Yes, he would qualify for a page.
*Yes, when articles are moved to the mainspace those edits will be automatically adjusted and counted towards your mainspace edits. You can check your number of edits by going to the "preferences" tab at the upper right and then clicking "view global account info" under the user profile tab. However, this edit number will be your edits in total, userspace edits and all, I don't believe there is a way to view a breakdown of the types of edits (userspace, mainspace, etc) without very high technical administrative privileges.
*No, we don't advise against it if they're all productive edits. The only concern would be editing a number of high-traffic templates at one time as that could crash the server, but most of those are protected from normal users anyway.
*The Bulbabot usertag is for overall edits I believe, but I'll double check that for you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:59, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

*Rio'''Lucario'''lu
*Darkrai is the only Technical Pokkén character without a Mega evolution or a weakness against Ghost attacks.
**It is also the only non-Ghost type that can go through walls without an item in Mystery Dungeon.
'''*By giving Stunfisk an Air Balloon, it becomes the only Dual-typed Pokémon immune to both of its STABs.'''
*Onix is the only [[Gigantic Pokémon]] that can still evolve.

Hi, if you go onto my userpage(which is more or less a to-do list) you will see under the heading "Pages made but currently in userspace" three articles on the voice actors Rie Tanaka, Takahiro Sakurai and Yuuichi Nakamura.

:::I believe it's a safe assumption that a vast majority of our userbase/readers won't be searching for a specific page via URL.

Hello,

I looking for staff arbitration of a dispute about alleged sockpuppeting. A friend of mine (Doondook De Storm) was banned, accused of being my alt, and a notice was left on my page not to make more accounts. However, I did not create his account and I'm wanting to see if another staff member could look into the issue if anybody's got the time. A quick check of the IP addresses would show that we live in totally different countries.

== Username change request ==

My username on Bulbapedia is Randomwaffle23. I despise this name, and I regret having ever been young and stupid enough to choose it for anything. On more than one occasion, I've had people assume I'm a new user who doesn't know what he's doing, even when my edits are constructive and in good faith. People figure they probably know better than someone named Randomwaffle23.

I don't want to be looked down on because of these kinds of assumptions. I don't want to be an eternal "new user". So, I'd like to have my account's username changed to '''Ardub23''', a name which has fewer connotations (and which matches my username on various other sites). Or, failing that, I'd like to be permitted to create a new account under that name.

Thank you for considering my request. — [[User:Randomwaffle23|Randomwaffle23]] ([[User talk:Randomwaffle23|talk]]) 19:33, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

== Template wikicode question ==

I am writing a sandboxed version of the {{template|alldex}} row template for use on a draft article ([[User:Force Fire/List of Pokémon that appear in multiple regional Pokédex]]) that is currently nominated for mainspacing. I want this sandboxed version to take into account whether a non-numeric input (like <code>---</code> or <code>???</code>) is fed to any of its parameters.

On the current version in templatespace, whenever a non-numeric input is fed to the <code>s=</code> parameter, as in the following example:
<pre>{{alldexh|1}}
{{alldex|1|084|j=204|oj=199|h=095|oh=092|s=---|u2dex=---|kdex=094|kr=Central|adex=---|Doduo|2|Normal|Flying}}
|}</pre>
I get the following error message:
{{alldexh|1}}
{{alldex|1|084|j=204|oj=199|h=095|oh=092|s=---|u2dex=---|kdex=094|kr=Central|adex=---|Doduo|2|Normal|Flying}}
|}
This is because of the following numeric comparison statement being executed by the template to determine whether or not to append {{sup/4|Pt}} to the Sdex number:
<pre>{{#ifexpr: {{{s|001}}} > 151|{{Sup/4|Pt}}}}</pre>
The comparison <code><nowiki>{{{s|001}}} > 151</nowiki></code> crashes whenever <code>s=</code> is non-numeric. So, I want to modify my sandboxed copy of {{template|alldex}} to not execute the numeric comparison above unless the input is purely numeric.

I want to ask if there is a wikicode command (like <code><nowiki>{{#ifnum: {{{in|def}}}|out}}</nowiki></code> or similar) that I can use in my template to check whether the input is a number (positive, negative, etc.) and execute the output only upon meeting that numeric constraint. That way, I could have my template do this without crashing or returning error messages:
<pre>{{#ifnum: {{{s|001}}}|{{#ifexpr: {{{s|001}}} > 151|{{Sup/4|Pt}}}}}}</pre>
I could also use such a construct to tell the template to supress any <code><nowiki>{{tt|*|}}</nowiki></code> tooltips for non-numeric inputs (like <code>---</code>, used to express that a Pokémon is not in that regional Pokédex), so that for the example above I get something like this:
{{alldexh|1}}
|- style="background:#FFFFFF;"
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #084
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #084
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #204{{tt|*|199 in Generation II}}
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #095{{tt|*|092 in Generation III}}
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #---
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #---
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #094{{tt|*|Central}}
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #---
| {{MS|084|Doduo (Pokémon)}}
| {{p|Doduo}}
| style="text-align:center; background:#{{normal color}}" | [[Normal (type)|Normal]]

Hello! I wanted to help with item descriptions by adding a verbal description since the pictures are very small on mobile and sometimes don't load due to errors or bad signal.
someone was removing them and messaged me to stop and that the pictures were enough.

this was my reply: " I'm adding the descriptions because on mobile or low wifi or bad data the pictures don't load at all sometimes. If you can't get the picture a description is a good way to help someone identify an item they have. please leave them alone."
I went to correct my signature and spelling and I couldn't save. It says I was abusing somehow? abuse 3 or something. Please help! I'm not entirely sure how the talking thing works even after reading the page and I hope this gets top you okay.

Ataro [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032795&oldid=3031944 responded], and this was [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032886&oldid=3032814 my response].

They have also been active many times since that initial response, so it would've been absolutely difficult for them not to see all the talk page notifications that were sent by my many attempts to contact them.

I find it hard to believe they were unaware of all of that. If there was supposed to be another, more appropriate way to reach them, then my apologies; I didn't know. But nevertheless, I find it absolutely disgusting that this admin would engage in such unacceptable, selective behavior. One would expect an admin to respond to any and all talk page messages as soon as possible.

:1. Hello there. Unfortunately Kogoro and the webmaster himself are the only staff members who have global rights to rename users on the wiki but we are working on getting this right to additional users so we can carry out the requests that have been pending. Your patience is appreciated with this.
:2. Being blocked isn't a dealbreaker for becoming a Staff member. There have been a few staff members who were blocked at one point and later became Staff. A variety of factors are considered when evaluating if a user is ready for staff, including disciplinary history, qualities of edits, and a user's ''overall attitude''.
:3. This is something that we have been considering with our next Mediawiki update, but we are still in discussions. The webmaster is usually the one who handles the selection and implementation of add-ons, etc.
:4. We are generally a bit more lenient towards userspace edits that are intended to be mainspaced as a template or other item that constructively adds to the wiki. However, if you are working on templates/css stuff more than you are contributing to the mainspace is when it becomes problematic. I recommend staying as close to the limit as you can.
:5. I will have to look at these more closely later. {{u|Abcboy}} is the Acting Head of Games and can review the more game related items you have on the list as that's his area and should be your first point of contact. Hope I was able to answer some of your questions! '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 02:27, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

== help with wording on [[Twerp]] ==

Hello
on the article [[Twerp]] I added that the ter mis not always used as an insult, such as how Meowth referred to Ash and the crew as tworps even when he was temporarily with the group in mid Unova.
Is there a better way to include this because without this point, it only looks like it's always an insult. I think it's important to acknowledge that the term is not always an insult but is rathe roften times an insult instead of always. thakns.

Now, if you wouldn't mind undoing your reversion and being more vigilant in future. [[User:48Pills|48Pills]] ([[User talk:48Pills|talk]]) 20:04, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:Perhaps next time you'd find it useful to use an edit summary so other editors could be aware of that (that message was not explicit permission either in my interpretation). I am only human, that can be missed in the 1,000s of edits that occur on the wiki everyday, mistakes happen, no need to be rude about it. Thanks.

== Type: Null Anime ==

In the anime, it's highly implied that Type: Null and Silvally are the same Pokémon. I put that in the trivia, but GrammarFreak01 changed it. I know it might be a bit speculative, but there's a ton of evidence to back this up. Should I put it back? I know he'll just undo it again. [[User:Browserboom|Browserboom]] ([[User talk:Browserboom|talk]]) 17:16, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
:Unfortunately, if it's never been explicitly confirmed we can't allow trivia that is speculative in nature, even if there does seem to be evidence that suggests that it's true. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:00, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

== Mainspacing request ==

I'm hoping you mean what you wrote in your MftE, so here's a page I'd like to "fast-track".

It's a page I was reassured it'd be notable before I made it, which was back in 2016. Over time, I repeatedly asked staff member(s) to mainspace it, but that never happened. Recently, Daniel Carrero created the article from scratch, rather than mainspacing mine (no blame on him please). That was about almost weeks ago, and nothing happened since then. I'm talking about [[Confusion (status condition)|confusion]].

So could you pleease either merge the two yourself and at least do [[Special:Diff/3156837|the appropriate edit]] [[Special:Diff/2563332|to the template]], ask a staff member of your choice to do it, or promote me so I can do it? Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:04, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
:Apologies for the late reply, I was on reduced activity for a bit. I agree that since your page was in your mainspace for over 3 years and the staff dropped the ball on getting it approved for mainspacing, I went ahead and merged the two histories so that your work could be reflected as well. Feel free to see the page and make any fixes if you see them. I also went ahead and updated the template to reflect the individual page that was created as well. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and sorry for the oversight! '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 22:17, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
:Alright, no problem, and thank you.
:As far as I can tell, Spriteit did a good job merging the content (which I was primarily focussing on, not the credit/referencing). So thanks again. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:13, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

== Request to either create a new account or to change my username ==

If my Account Name is anything to go off of, I created this account back in 2016 and at the time, I didn't have a general username that I would use for websites. However, I have began using "pkmn.sm" across different websites and would like to have my username changed accordingly. If at all possible, I would like to have it changed to the name mentioned, but if it isn't possible, then I'd like permission to create a new account. Thank you for reading.

== KnightGalarie and Gyarados edit ==

Hey! Since you've decided to get involved in {{U|KnightGalarie}}'s style of editing, do you think you could look into [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3184454&oldid=3184453 this edit] for the {{p|Gyarados}} article? I've had [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#Ho-Oh_and_Gyarados a back-and-forth discussion] with them over it, and I think a third party should look into it.

Also, on a slightly related tangent, I think there needs to be a discussion amongst the staff about the issue of style when it comes to Pokémon whose recurring status in the anime is ambiguous, like Gyarados and {{p|Dodrio}}. Since you made the wording for the Dodrio entry ambiguous, perhaps this opens the question of whether this should automatically apply to all other Pokémon articles with similar cases, as well as how we should evaluate the ambiguity of continuity. Do you get my drift? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
:Hey there, I believe G50 addressed this by stating that there 'must' be confirmed explicitly in order for us to state a relation as so on pages. An approach similar to mine would be okay because it remains ambiguous and never confirmed that it was indeed the same Pokémon. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:18, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
::So what is the correct approach? I can't abide with getting conflicting answers from different admins. Shouldn't there be a consensus among staff about how to approach this, style-wise? Also, this problem is rearing its ugly head again with {{an|Korrina}}'s {{p|Mienfoo}} and {{p|Mienshao}} with the latest anime episode being aired. There NEEDS to be a discussion amongst the staff about this. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:32, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

:Hey there. So unfortunately since that message I left you, the global username feature has gone down and we aren't able to fulfill any new username requests until technical wiki staff have an opportunity to install the next Mediawiki update, but this has been delayed due to COVID-19 related issues. We have been giving users the option to create a new account under the desired username if you did not want to wait that long, because I am unsure of when this update will be happening so I do not want you to have to remain in limbo for that long. However, per the {{bp|Signature policy}}, your signature should be a reflection of your ''current'' username and should link to your username or talk page. I would advise you to please change it back to your previous signature until the renaming issues/process is resolved.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to report this kind of thing, but I noticed on the Recent changes page that there was a user making a bunch of trolly comments on individuals' userpages. Here's the page of this person's 'contributions': https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Joshua_Conner_Moon If there's a better way to report this issue (or a better person to contact), please let me know! --[[User:Butterfreeism|'''–Butterfreeism''']] ([[User talk:Butterfreeism|talk]]) 04:44, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

== Romanization question ==
Hi Pokemaster97! I'm thinking about making more major edits to the [[List of moves in other languages]] page and the [[List of abilities in other languages|corresponding abilities page]], but I noticed that there are two different romanization styled for the Japanese names of these mechanics, the ones on the moves' individual pages(which tend to use more correct romaji and also romanize words in Katakana), and the ones in the foreign language pages. Which style has precedence? I know the Manual of Style says to use the official names for the Pokémon, but I'm not really sure what to do in this case, since I don't think moves have official romanizations. I would be really grateful if you would let me know (and maybe even add a provision to the Manual of Style).
Thanks again,

== Enable StringFunctions ==

I think Bulbapedia should have StringFunctions enabled. This will make sure we can use some more functions (read about them [[mw:Extension:StringFunctions|here]]), such as #len. This can be done by setting {{User:C.Ezra.M/code|$wgPFEnableStringFunctions}} to {{User:C.Ezra.M/code|true}} in {{User:C.Ezra.M/code|LocalSettings.php}}. Is this change considered for Bulbapedia?

== Userspace content deletion ==

Hello, I just wanted to clarify something about deletion of userspace content. I read that you can tag your page with <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> and the tcontent will be removed by Admins. I wanted to know if the past edits in history will also be removed.

I already blanked out my own page by removing everything manually but the content is still visible if you view my page history. If the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag doesn't remove the page history, please let me know if there is another way to do so.

Thank you for your time :) {{unsigned|Moltres93}}

== Adding Videos to Pokemon Pages ==

I have been creating videos of Pokemon with the information from the "Biology" section from the individual Pokemon pages. I do this for fun and have given proper credit to Bulbapedia, in the description. In a long winded way, I'm asking if I can add these videos in the "Biology" section of the individual Pokemon page? Thank You [[User:GengarIsBestGar|GengarIsBestGar]] ([[User talk:GengarIsBestGar|talk]]) 16:03, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
:Hello there. Due to trying to conserve a standardized appearance for our individual Pokémon pages, it would be inconsistent to have some biology sections with videos and others without. Perhaps in the future, when there is more content for the staff and community to evaluate, could we consider adding a video element in. 00:29, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

The [[Pokémon]] franchise (Hindi: '''पोकेमॉन''' (formerly '''पोकेमोन'''), Tamil: '''பொகெமொன்''', Telugu: '''పోకీమాన్''', Bengali: '''পোকেমন''', Urdu: '''پوکيمون''') made its debut in the '''{{wp|Indian subcontinent}}''' in 2003, with the broadcast of the [[EP001|first anime episode]] in both English and Hindi on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} and {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Cartoon Network Pakistan}}. [[#Cartoon Network and Pogo TV|CN India and its sister channels]] also dubbed the anime into Tamil and Telegu.

Since 2014, a second production of new Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, and Bengali dubs has aired on {{wp|Hungama TV}} and its [[#Disney India|various sister channels]]. These dubs are also available on the official Indian [[YouTube]] channels.

==Localization==
{{main|List of Hindi Pokémon names}}
The [[Pokémon games]] are mostly available in English. [[Pokémon Smile]], [[Pokémon UNITE]], and [[Pokémon GO]] are the only Pokémon games to be localized into Hindi. With the launch of Hindi-language support in Pokémon GO on September 15, 2023, many Pokémon were given [[List of Hindi Pokémon names|new localized names]], rather than simply writing the English names in Devanāgarī script as had been done previously.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/hindi-availability-september-2023 Hindi language support for Pokémon GO! Celebrate with special events!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20231030054622/https://pokemongolive.com/post/hindi-availability-september-2023 archived])</ref><ref name="JourneyOfOneDreamHindi">[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2023-09-16/pokemon-goes-desi-celebrates-india-by-launching-pokemon-go-in-hindi-with-niantic/.202452 Pokémon Goes Desi, Celebrates India by Launching Pokémon GO in Hindi with Niantic] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230917092528/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2023-09-16/pokemon-goes-desi-celebrates-india-by-launching-pokemon-go-in-hindi-with-niantic/.202452 archived])</ref>

The [[Pokémon anime]] has undergone dubbing primarily into Hindi, with the same dub being used for Urdu as both languages are {{wp|Hindustani language|phonetically indistinguishable}}, differing primarily in their written scripts. Additional dubbing has taken place in Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali. Furthermore, the English dub of the anime is also accessible. The Hindi dub of the anime which was produced before the games were localized uses the English names for Pokémon. However, all the local dubs inconsistently switch between the English names and direct translations for other Pokémon-related terminology, such as names of moves, abilities, and items. The Hindi dub of [[The Journey of One Dream]] was the first animated work to use the localized Hindi names for Pokémon, with {{OBP|Pokémon Horizons: The Series|season}} being the first main series season to do so.<ref name="HorizonsEvent"/> The Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali dubs continue to use the English names for Pokémon.

Most official [[Pokémon merchandise]] is available in English, as it is imported from Europe or the Americas rather than being localized.{{fact}}

==Pokémon games==
[[Pokémon games]] and some [[Pokémon merchandise]], as well as other [[Nintendo]] products such as consoles and games, are available on online retail stores.

In the past, most games in Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka were sold by the Japanese Nintendo division (and by extension Nintendo of America). In Afghanistan, Nintendo Europe dealt with sales<ref>[http://www.nintendo.com/corp/distributors.jsp Nintendo - Distributors] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20080304201947/http://www.nintendo.com/corp/distributors.jsp archived])</ref> until 2021, when distribution halted in that country due to the {{wp|Fall of Kabul (2021)|invasion of Kabul}}.

Samurai Electronics sold NES in India from 1987 to 1994 under the name ''Samurai'', with support from Active Boeki. Next Nintendo consoles like SNES, Game Boy or Nintendo 64 were distributed in India by authorized distributor networka created by Active Boeki, but with smaller effort and big competition from gray market and clones.

====Cartoon Network and Pogo TV====
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|150px|Cartoon Network India and Pakistan logo]]
[[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] premiered on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} on May 12, 2003 as a part of its {{wp|Toonami}} block.<ref name="PokemonDebut" /> Following the first season, [[S02|Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] made its Indian debut in late 2003 and ended its run in mid-2004. In the same year, [[S03|Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]] and [[S04|Pokémon: Johto League Champions]] premiered on Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network sold DVDs of Pokémon in Hindi dub middle in 2004. A separate {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Cartoon Network}} feed affiliated with Cartoon Network India was launched for the Pakistani audience in 2004, and was also later made available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Due to this affiliation, both channels broadcast the anime simultaneously. With [[S05|Pokémon: Master Quest]], Cartoon Network India introduced two additional dubs, Tamil and Telugu.<ref name="MasterQuestHindiTamilTelugu" /> The [[original series]] concluded its first complete run in mid-2005.

The first two seasons of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] and [[S07|Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]], made their South Asian debut in 2006.<ref name="ToonamiGameOn" /> While 2008 marked the first run for [[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]] and [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] in the respective territories. Unlike its predecessors, the ninth season aired on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut.

Furthermore, Cartoon Network introduced a one-hour block, ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon'', that aired reruns from the first seven seasons.

The [[S10|first season]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' premiered in Pakistan on November 9, 2009, making it the first season to air on the network before its debut on Cartoon Network India, which aired it a week later. Cartoon Network Pakistan skipped 23 episodes, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', due to unknown reasons and wrapped up the season in mere five weeks. However, the episodes were aired in their correct order during reruns. In early 2011, after an eight-year run on Cartoon Network India, the channel dropped Pokémon anime after finishing [[S11|Pokémon DP: Battle Dimension]]'s first run.

[[File:Pogo logo.png|thumb|150px|right|Pogo TV logo]]
Later on, the anime was picked up by Cartoon Network India's sister channel, {{wp|Pogo (TV channel)|Pogo}}. The channel aired [[S12|Pokémon DP: Galactic Battles]] and [[S13|Pokémon DP: Sinnoh League Victors]] in 2011. However, ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'' were skipped and aired later during reruns. After Pokémon Season 13's first run pogo removed tamil audio feed in Pokémon in October 25, 2011. In 2013, Pogo premiered the [[S14|fourteenth season]] of the anime and some creative changes were made along with it, including new voice actors for the [[narrator]] and [[Delia Ketchum]] and several [[move]]s retained their English names. ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' were skipped, but they were later broadcast during reruns.

[[File:Pokémon BW logo India.png|thumb|150px|left|Alternate logo for the BW series]]
On June 27, 2014, {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} announced through [https://www.facebook.com/cartoonnetwork.india its official Facebook page] that Pokémon would be returning to Cartoon Network. The channel began airing [[S14|Pokémon: Black & White]] until ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics]]'', from July 2 to August 6, 2014. Pokémon: Black & White premiered on Cartoon Network Pakistan in the same year. During 2014, Cartoon Network India introduced several blocks like PokéHours, Poké-New Year, Karo Haasil to promote Pokémon: Black & White to audiences. It later finished the season's run by airing it at a late-night time slot. CN India also introduced an alternate logo for the series, which was used for promos but not within the episodes themselves.

====Disney India====
[[File:Hungama TV.png|thumb|right|150px|Hungama TV logo]]
Around the beginning of 2014, {{wp|Disney India|Disney}} bought the rights to Pokémon. However, Disney did not acquire the rights for the anime's previous dubs, so the anime was re-dubbed. The re-dubs have more {{wp|Hinglish}} words and sentences that the Cartoon Network dub, mirroring the recent trends in spoken Hindi in urban India.

[[File:Pokémon logo Southeast Asia.png|thumb|left|150px|Red Pokémon logo used for some seasons]]
With ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', Hungama TV began airing the [[original series]] on May 19, 2014. Unlike Cartoon Network and Pogo, since Hungama TV has no English audio feed, the anime aired only in Hindi. Starting with [[S02|the second season]], the channel began to include the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment in episodes. As with the Cartoon Network airings, several episodes were skipped or aired out of order. Starting from [[S03|the third season]], the channel also started using [[Media:Pokémon logo Southeast Asia.png|a red logo]] for Pokémon, instead of [[Media:Pokémon logo English.png|the yellow one]] used internationally. Some episodes of the third season were aired with additional Tamil and Telegu dubs, but not all episodes were dubbed in those languages until [[S04|Johto League Champions]] started. From ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' to ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'', Hungama TV often skipped parts of the episode before the title card, which were later restored during reruns on Disney XD. With [[S05|the fifth season]], Hungama TV aired the anime continuously until ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar]]'' in June 2015. Disney XD began airing reruns of episodes that had already aired on Hungama TV with the first 10 episodes of [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] on August 7, 2016.

[[File:Disney XD Logo.png|thumb|150px|Disney XD logo]]
The remaining original series episodes would later be aired as part of the [[S06|sixth season]] starting on August 31, 2015, while the Hoenn portion of [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] aired on Hungama TV from September 16, 2015 to November 18, 2015. From February 15, 2016 to April 28, 2016, episodes from [[S07|Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]] premiered on Hungama TV. In addition, throughout the anime's run on Hungama, a number of new blocks were introduced that were dedicated exclusively to the series, including ''PokéThon'', ''PokéVaar'', and ''PakdoThon''. Although Disney XD India had previously aired the first seven seasons after Hungama TV, new episodes moved to Disney XD India with episodes of [[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]] until ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' from May 7, 2018 to May 31, 2018. Although Disney XD has an English audio feed unlike Hungama, the anime aired in Hindi on both the English and Hindi audio feeds. The channel later completed the season's first run in October 2018.

:''Main articles: [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes]], [[List of Tamil Pokémon themes]], [[List of Telugu Pokémon themes]] and [[List of Bengali Pokémon themes]]
Like most dubs based on the English dub, the Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs under both Cartoon Network and Disney generally dub the [[List of English opening themes|original English openings]] into the respective language. Some songs used in episodes have also been dubbed.

From the middle of the second run of the season, Cartoon Network replaced the opening {{so|Black and White}} with an original Hindi opening named {{OBP|Pokémon: Black & White|Hindi song|Pokémon: Black & White Song Video}}. Cartoon Network and Pogo also created original songs for promos.

Hungama TV used an original {{OBP|Pokérap|Hindi song|Hindi PokéRap}} as the ending theme for the initial seasons and movies. Similar PokéRaps were also created as promos for upcoming seasons, including four live action raps made to promote the show as a whole.

Hungama TV normally skips the opening and ending themes of the movies entirely. In a few instances, the instrumental version of the theme is retained; for example, a portion of [[Battle Frontier (song)|Battle Frontier (Movie Version)]] on a loop served as the opening theme for the dub of the [[M08|eighth movie]] and an instrumental version of [[This is a Beautiful World]] as the ending theme to the [[M11|eleventh movie]].

For the release of the first 21 movies on [[#Voot/JioCinema|Voot Kids]] on October 15, 2021, all deleted scenes, including the opening and ending themes from the earlier movies, were restored. Since some movies under Disney use the Japanese version as the source instead of the English version, the themes for those movies are based on the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese themes]] instead. The Japanese openings and endings of the [[M01|first]] and [[M02|second]] movies were dubbed into Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, while the themes for the remaining movies are all left undubbed, with some of them using an instrumental version of the respective themes, and others keeping the Japanese or English vocals intact.

The Hindi version of the [[M17|seventeenth movie]] released on Voot Kids used the Hindi versions of [[We Will Be Heroes]], [[Battle Cry - (Stand Up!)]] and [[We Will Carry On!]] as the opening theme, while the Tamil and Telugu versions used an instrumental version of [[Pokémon Theme (Version XY)]] as the opening. However, the version of the movie aired on Marvel HQ had an instrumental version of Pokémon Theme (Version XY) as the opening theme for the Hindi dub as well.

For the Hindi dubs of movies released on Netflix, the [[M22|the twenty-second movie]] had the themes dubbed into Hindi while the [[M23|the twenty-third movie]] had themes left intact in English. The Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali dubs of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' released on [[YouTube]] left the English opening themes intact as well.

For the dubs of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', original soundtracks were composed by the duo {{wp|Vishal-Shekhar}} with vocals by {{wp|Bollywood}} artists {{wp|Armaan Malik}} for the opening theme [[Let's Get Started]] and {{wp|Shirley Setia}} for the ending theme [[Boom Kaboom]].<ref name="HorizonsEvent"/> Since it's release on the YouTube from 19th of July, 2024, the ending theme song has got a bengali dubbed version of Boom Kaboom, making it the first time, a theme song has been dubbed for the anime in Bengali.

The [[Pokémon Kids TV]] YouTube channel has released [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9f1RKBJr1142mrioEfp0_37lXqhg8NDw&si=Fhr9EgfsSNzTjRVU Hindi versions] of various Pokémon songs aimed at younger children.
