'''{{tt|Drifting Drifblim|VIZ Media}}/{{tt|VS Drifblim|Chuang Yi}}''' or '''Academic Convention and Abduction''' (Japanese: '''VS フワライド ''' ''VS {{tt|Fuwaride|Drifblim}}'' or '''学会と誘拐''' ''Academic Meeting and Kidnapping'') is the 371st round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[Advanced level Grunt]] develops the picture of {{adv|Platinum}}. He is curious about how Platinum had left on a journey with [[Paka and Uji|two bodyguards]] that haven't been heard of since, and how her dad seems unperturbed about the situation. He decides that now would be a good time to make his move.

Meanwhile, {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} have landed in [[Hearthome City]] after traveling on [[Fantina's Drifblim]] and are upset for how far they have backtracked. Platinum then decides that since they are there, she wants to battle the [[Gym Leader]], which [[Fantina]] accepts. After some confusion, they find out that Fantina is actually the Gym Leader of the [[Hearthome Gym]]. Then Diamond and Pearl perform a {{wp|manzai}} about on Platinum's upcoming battle with Fantina. Pearl says that they've nailed their performances, and that they should start thinking of a visual gag.

Pearl goes to help Platinum with her training. After checking her [[Pokédex]], Platinum reveals that she's mostly worried about how {{p|Mismagius}} can cause hallucinations. Platinum says that she will be entering her {{TP|Platinum|Empoleon}} and {{TP|Platinum|Ponyta}}, but she's not sure how she will be able to fight the hallucinations. Pearl says to use Diamond's {{adv|Lax}}, but she wonders how Munchlax would be good against hallucinations.

At the Hearthome Gym, Fantina says she will see them on the fourth floor and Platinum chooses a three Pokémon switch-in battle. Onlookers are allowed by Fantina, so all three proceed up the lifts to find their first puzzle-a math problem.

Meanwhile, in [[Canalave City]] [[Professor Rowan]] is telling [[Mr. Berlitz]] that they should treat themselves for being so productive the past few days. However, Mr. Berlitz realizes he has forgotten something and goes back alone to get it.

On the way he meets the Advanced level Grunt, who shows him the picture of his daughter and surrounds him with his {{p|Gible}} and {{p|Staraptor}}. The Grunt says that they have his daughter, however Mr. Berlitz does not believe this at first since he still thinks that [[Paka and Uji]] are with her. The Grunt laughs, saying that if he called them, they wouldn't pick up, since they have been disposed of.

==Major events==
* {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} find out that [[Fantina]] is the {{ci|Hearthome}} [[Gym Leader]].
* The [[Advanced level Grunt]] tricks {{adv|Platinum}}'s father into paying money by making him think they have captured Platinum.

==Blurb==

Oh yeah! Ash’s Litten is ready to enter the ring after watching a televised Battle Royal match in which the mysterious Masked Royal and his partner Incineroar face off against three powerful opponents. A Battle Royal doesn’t end until only one Pokémon remains standing, and when Ash and his friends visit the Battle Royal Dome the next day, little Litten gets to see if it’s up to the challenge! Woo!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and his Pokémon watch a [[Battle Royal]] match on TV. The [[Professor Kukui|Masked Royal]] and his {{p|Incineroar}} are keen to earn their twentieth consecutive victory, but have three other {{pkmn|Trainers}} to contend with. {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} explains to Ash that a Battle Royal is an Alolan tradition, where four opponents have a free-for-all battle. {{p|Machamp}}’s {{m|Bullet Punch}} doesn’t do anything to Incineroar. {{p|Primarina}} uses {{m|Sparkling Aria}} and {{p|Decidueye}} shoots out a {{m|Spirit Shackle}} also prove useless. The Masked Royal uses his [[Z-Ring]] to unleash Incineroar's powerful {{m|Malicious Moonsault}}. The attack hits, and knocks all three of its opponents out, earning the pair their twentieth win. [[Professor Burnet]] arrives home, just as the Masked Royal announces that Trainers can challenge him in person tomorrow.

The next day, Ash arrives at the [[Battle Royal Dome]] on [[Akala Island]] where he catches up with all of his classmates. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is on the scene and their food truck business is slow. They overhear a man calling for a Battle Royal host and gladly volunteer themselves. Ash and his friends have since made it to their seats, just as the Masked Royal's appearance is announced. His Incineroar somersaults into the ring before {{MTR}} calls for any battle volunteers. The crowd all enthusiastically put them hands up, however {{AP|Litten}} jumps ahead to confront Incineroar. Ash is close behind to return his Pokémon. Team Rocket almost give away their host disguises and are frustrated by Ash's presence. Litten smells the Masked Royal and instantly recognises him, to which the Masked Royal smiles back and offers Ash and Litten a position in the first round. The Masked Royal asks if Ash has brought friends with him, and with that {{an|Kiawe}} alongside {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} and {{an|Sophocles}} with {{TP|Sophocles|Charjabug}} also enter the match up.

Meowth reminds the audience of the Battle Royal's ground rules, before the bell rings and the match begins. Litten makes the first move with {{m|Scratch}}, Marowak uses {{m|Bonemerang}} and Charjabug strikes with {{m|Discharge}}. Though the three attacks prove useless against Incineroar, who knocks Litten into into Kiawe and Sophocles' Pokemon. Marowak goes in for a {{m|Shadow Bone}}, but the attack is deflected and Incineroar knocks Marowak on the head. Unlike the other two, Litten manages to withstand Incineroar’s {{m|Darkest Lariat}}. Ash is quickly reminded by Litten’s snarling and determination that the Battle Royal is a real match as the crowd start cheering for it. Incineroar uses {{m|Bulk Up}} to make itself bigger before grabbing Litten who was attempting a {{m|Fire Fang}}. The Masked Royal believes Litten wanted to become stronger, hence why is was so determined to battle a tough opponent. Incineroar follows up with a {{m|Throat Chop}}, sending Litten flying across the arena and defeating it. Ash and his friends retire to the Dome's entry stairs while Litten remains frustrated at its loss. Team Rocket watch on, and note that Litten could learn from them about coping with a loss. While Meowth is more sympathetic towards Litten, hoping it can win some other time.

At night, Professor Kukui and Ash observe Litten practicing on the beach. Kukui notes that Litten's wild side may have been activated by seeing its final evolution in action. Ash, Rotom, {{AP|Lycanroc}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} join Litten to help it train for another match against Incineroar. Ash observes Lycanroc and Litten's tail movement, similar to those seen when Lycanroc was still a {{p|Rockruff}}. Rotom suggests the movement may be a sign that Litten is about to learn {{m|Flame Charge}}; a move that increases a Pokémon's speed stat. Ash announces it is time for some special training, and has Litten over several days improve its agility and speed through various exercises like sparring with Lycanroc to master Flame Charge. Ash and his friends watch on in anticipation, however Litten still cannot use Flame Charge. Suddenly the Masked Royal and his Incineroar arrive on the scene, and are met with surprise and fanfare. The Masked Royal challenges Ash and Litten to a match, and they gladly accept.

Litten's Fire Fang is counteracted by Incineroar’s Throat Chop, knocking it away. Litten gets back up and fires an Ember attack, though it is blocked by Incineroar's fire belt. Incineroar then rushes in with a Throat Chop and Litten goes in with an underdeveloped Flame Charge before being hit back again. Ash commands Litten to use Flame Charge once more, this time the flame surrounds it whole body. Incineroar catches Litten, though with Ash's encouragement it breaks free in a ball of fire. It lands on the ground, and amongst the flames Litten evolves into {{p|Torracat}}. With a new twist in the match, the Masked Royal is fired up and calls for a Darkest Lariat. Torracat has perfected its Flame Charge, and the attack proves powerful enough to stop Incineroar's move. Torracat tries another Flame Charge and slips through Incineroar's claws before returning back to clash with another Darkest Lariat. Both Pokemon are sent backwards, with Incineroar showing signs of exhaustion. And for the final clash, after bulking up, Incineroar uses its Throat Chop against Torracat’s Flame Charge. While Incineroar emerges victorious, Ash congratulates his newly evolved Pokémon for its efforts. The Masked Royal announces that Torracat and his Incineroar are now rivals and looks forward to another match at the Battle Royal Dome before performing his signature pose.

Overnight, Burnet wishes she could meet the Masked Royal, and asks Kukui if he would like to meet him. Though Kukui awkwardly laughs at the idea, while Torracat glares at him strangely.

Talk:Pokémon Gold and Silver beta

2018-06-05T01:37:15Z

Morgil27: /* Pokémon Gold SpaceWorld Demo Leak */

Picture-heavy, no? [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 23:04, 18 November 2005 (CST)

We have a problem -- this article is almost a direct copy of this page here: [http://www.magicstone.de/dzd/game_analysis_gs-beta.php Pokémon Gold & Silver - Development Reconstruction]

argh. all the pictures are direct copies. Do we have permission?

Well. We can assume that given the kind of reaction I've received from the author of this article, that [[User:Celebi23]] and the author of that page are one and the same... But, seeing as [[:de:Pokémon Gold & Silber (Beta)]] exists, hmm, it makes matters more confusing. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 00:29, 19 November 2005 (CST)

Hi there. I'm xdaniel, the original author of the Pokemon G/S Development Reconstruction article on DigitalZero Domain - my website - which is linked to here. As several parts of this article here were rewritten, i'm not exactly sure if my appearance etc. here is of any importance anymore but i'd still like to express my view on this. The user Celebi23 here and me are definatly not the same person, whoever that was pretty much just copy'n'pasted my article in here without permission. I had no idea about this until I came across this article (and this Wiki in general) via the German PokeWiki. I don't really know much about how Wikis work, but while, as I already stated, parts of the article here were already rewritten, enhanced, etc., i'd still like to ask if someone of you could rewrite it a bit further - things like the structuring by years or the 1997 Pokemon 2 section - and change the link to my article to point to my (German language btw) website with a note about my article (or something similar). I hope you understand my point and opinion. - xdaniel on April 11th, 2006 at ~14:23 (local German time)

You can do that yourself - that's the main feature of a wiki. Unfortunately, I don't understand German, neither do most of the people here. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 14:24, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

== Categorization ==

I thought I'd catergorize this page, but I'm not sure where to put it. Should it go in Games or Meta? Personally I think Meta but if anyone else has an opinion Ill be glad to hear it

Why not both. You can give an article as many categories as you want. (But don't overdo it.) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 03:40, 24 November 2005 (CST)

== The pics at the bottom... ==

Why're they there? Do they really say anything about Route 46 and the National Park? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

==Links==

One of the links, when I clicked on it, it said that it was suspected of containing malware. Does it? And if it does, we should remove it. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 23:32, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
:It would really help if you gave the link. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Nos hablamos?]] 23:33, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

== Something i noticed ==

Probably not that important, but neat nonetheless. In [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:1999-GS_beta_title_screen.jpg this picture], behind the gold kanji, the red block looks kinda like an angled number 2. I guess that screen was from before they removed the number from the game's title. [[User:Morgil27|Morgil27]] 04:03, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
:Yea, that's when it was known as Pocket Monsters 2 I believe. I think it is mentioned.--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 04:05, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

== New beta map ==

http://i48.tinypic.com/2d14gaq.png

It's from here (starts at about the 2min mark)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4de7uwhoOyY

What would this be categorized under?--'''[[User:Immewnity|''immewnity'']][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 14:10, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
:Wow. It's in Polish. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:45, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
::Here's a recreation of that map: [http://i41.tinypic.com/3321py0.png] The white fence is the same, but the trees are still the beta ones. --[[User:Jurgen200|Jurgen200]] 09:27, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

== Silent Hills ==
Do we have proof that this was the beta name of the starting town? Because this would be interesting trivia to put on New Bark Town's page, especially considering the Silent Hill horror series.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 21:52, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
:It wasn't the beta name of New Bark. It was a completely different starting town.--'''[[User:Immewnity|''immewnity'']][[User talk:Immewnity|the]][[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|mew]]''' 15:45, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

== Preoder issues? ==

This is something that's been bugging me for some time.

I heard there was issues with the first release of games, specifically those sent to people who pre-ordered Pocket Monsters Gold/Silver in Japan; it was a version with the gender option still implemented, but ended up crashing after the gender was chosen. I heard this back on a few websites during the day, and wanted to know the status of this; after all, this is Pokemon, who knows what rumors may've flown about it.

I can say I would trust one of the sites I've heard it from, but it's been so long (10 years!) that I no longer remember it or know if it exists anymore.
[[User:Lass|Lass]] 01:53, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

== Missing Daughter and the Glitch City Ghost ==
I recently found out about this after finding out about an NPC in the GSC version of Glitch City. She's black and white(almost looking like a ghost) and when she "sees" you the Burned Tower music plays.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFHjaRR6XD0

That sidequest could have been a lot darker than the SS Aqua one. [[User:Sukid|Sukid]] 02:26, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

== Beta Qwilfish/Chikorita/Marril sprites? ==

According to [http://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8416&hilit=pokemon this], there were beta sprites of those three Pokemon left in the coding of Gold and Silver. Do these actually exist, and if they do can they be added to the article? [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] 03:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

== Pocket Monsters GS Demo Data Link ==

I found this link while surfing the internet and I will say it is very informative. I do believe it should be in the Links section, however, I want you guys to look and decide:
http://web.me.com/celebi23/Spaceworld_97_Pokemon/Combined_Demo_Info.html

: Yes, I do agree with your opinion that some info should be on this article. If we do this, the part that says you're automatically named "Ash Ketchum" should be made to the name being automatically changed to Satoshi because this was in Japan and the U.S. counterpart to Satoshi is Ash Ketchum. So, really, it was probably automatically named Satoshi. [[User:JacobTheDoduo|JacobTheDoduo]] 01:50, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

== More beta material ==

==Olivine Beta Map???==

I'm sorry, but this looks kinda fake to me. Despite it being a beta map, the other maps are complete, but this on has a black tile with nothing and a house with random inaccessible headbutt trees on it. It just doesn't look real to me. [[User:JacobTheDoduo|JacobTheDoduo]] 03:31, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:That's because the original tilesets these maps used were removed or damaged beyond repair, so the maps are essentially being shown with the final version's tilesets. Hence why many elements do not show up correctly. --[[User:Dorsal Axe|Dorsal Axe]] 17:49, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

==More Beta Material again!==
Someone at Bulbapedia pages has found another beta material again:

They should be added to the gallery with the other beta screenshots if they're worth keeping. I'd do it myself, but apparently I can't upload pictures.

== Clearer beta images ==

I found this today, it appears to be a Japanese magazine scan with clearer images of what we have here.

== Glitch Dimension ==
If you look at the [[Glitch dimension]] page, you see this during the glitch:
[[File:Glitch dimension Ho-Oh.png|thumb|center|Ho-Oh showing its true colors, in a "clean" Glitch Dimension.]]
I presume that this exists in the coding in the game but not used in the final version (i.e. beta) [[User:Wowy|Wowy]] ([[User talk:Wowy|talk]]) 06:08, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

== Beta content ==

I found some screenshots on IGN and on Unseen64 that might be useful to show more beta content on the page's screenshots section. Some pictures are large.

== Probably beta art concept book ==

Hi Guys, today searching on ebay i found an art book of pocket monsters 2. Take a look.
I think that the art book could be a great discovery for details of beta concepts.
[http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-Rare-Ken-Sugimori-Beta-Art-Unreleased-Pokemon-Book-Japanese-/162195940238?hash=item25c3a1a38e:g:TTMAAOSwaB5XkAfS] {{unsigned|‎Xtr3m one}}

==Beta Safari Zone==
Here's some beta gameplay showing someone going into the Safari Zone and encountering level 20-wise Pokemon. This suggests you were supposed to start at Kanto and travel to Johto (like TPP Anniversary Crystal). It also shows beta sprites for Pokemon like Porygon2, Butterfree, and Mankey, among others, which are in a colored RGBY style rather than the final GSC sprites. It shows beta maps, and TONS of info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMBRA0z-Z8Q {{unsigned|Gs22033}}

== Pokémon Gold SpaceWorld Demo Leak ==

::::Let's grant that TCRF wouldn't deliberately host something fake... They could still be hosting something they ''think'' isn't fake, only to later discover that it actually is.
::::Just because they've hosted it doesn't mean it's 100% authentic. So yeah, we can ''at least'' give it more than a couple days to see how it plays out. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:14, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

It's about as real as anything's ever going to get, and the suggestion that this is a hoax with overwhelming evidence to the contrary is downright embarrassing. How long will Bulbapedia keep its head firmly buried in the sand this time? Did you even do any research before forming your opinion?

::::::::Protip! Instead of accusing us of just not doing research, maybe suggest some things we may not have seen?
::::::::Fact is, we do understand that it looks pretty authentic. (We absolutely do try to be diligent. Just, that doesn't always mean we'll reach the conclusion you want.) We still prefer to wait for a while, since it is still an anonymous leak. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:44, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::My problem is, The only way i see it being absolutely 100% confirmed real is if Nintendo admits it's real (Unlikely) or starts issuing takedown notices, I can't see any other way it can be proven real beyond a shadow of a doubt.

::::::::::Occam's Razor suggests to me that it's more likely that it's a legit Beta versus an elaborate ROM hack. I totally understand Fishman's frustration because Bulbapedia has a history of being late to the party with info, but I also understand Bulbapedia's desire to ensure that it's authentic and not jump the gun. That said, I'd say at this point it's pretty much obvious it's official, but if Bulbagarden wants to wait until July 1st to start adding info about it, then that's what's gonna happen. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 22:20, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

(Just to be clear, I'm not saying that the demo is 100% true for sure, I'm just bringing up potential evidence as a discussion point.) --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 23:45, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Crystal}}

'''Pokémon Crystal Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョン''' ''Pocket Monsters: Crystal Version'') is the third and final [[Generation II]] [[core series]] game for [[Game Boy Color]]. It was released as a sister game to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, which were released one year before. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2000, in North America on July 29, 2001, and in Europe on November 2, 2001.

It featured various fixes and some new additions, most notably the introduction of the option to {{player|play}} as a {{ga|Kris|girl}}. It takes place in the region of [[Johto]] like Gold and Silver, with access to [[Kanto]] granted later in the game, with the player's starting town being [[New Bark Town]].

The Japanese version had far more new features, all related to a {{wp|mobile phone}}-related linking technology usable through the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] when connecting a [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] to a [[Game Boy Color]] or [[Game Boy Advance]] (original or [[Game Boy Advance SP|SP]]).

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The player is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand. He provides the player with one of three Pokémon: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to help him/her get to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house. He/She meets [[Kanto]]'s own [[Professor Oak]] during the errand for Elm. Oak, convinced that the player has started his/her own Pokémon journey, gives him/her a [[Pokédex]]. On the way back, the player is attacked by a spiteful and {{ga|Silver|mysterious Pokémon Trainer}}. Upon his/her return to New Bark Town, the player is informed that someone has broken into Professor Elm's lab and has stolen a Pokémon, the same Pokémon that the Trainer from earlier battled with (the Pokémon that the player's starter is weak against); even more so, that very same Trainer fits the description of the Pokémon thief. This Trainer will become the player's [[rival]] for the course of the game, having several conflicts with the player as to what it means to be the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer.

[[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the [[Johto]] region. They begin with petty things (such as cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}} to sell as food for a high price) before becoming more devious, such as a plan to use radio frequencies to artificially induce evolution in some Pokémon at the Lake of Rage near Mahogany town. When the player defeats or captures the [[Red Gyarados|Red]] {{p|Gyarados}} rampaging in the lake, [[Lance]] will arrive and congratulate the player for his/her battling and requests that the player help him find the source of the radio signals. When the player returns to Mahogany town and enters the Souvenir Shop, he/she will find Lance and his {{p|Dragonite}} threatening the man in the shop. A secret door will open to the Rocket base, which was revealed by a Rocket Grunt to be an old ninja hideout. After the player defeats the Rocket Executive found in the hideout, Lance asks the player to help him knock out the Electrode powering the machine producing the radio waves.

After completing this task, Lance thanks the player and gives him/her the HM {{m|Whirlpool}}. After the player defeats [[Pryce]] - the leader of Mahogany Gym - Professor Elm will call the player and tell him/her about unusual broadcasts from the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. When the player reaches Goldenrod City, it is revealed that Team Rocket has taken over the Radio Tower, their intent being to try to contact their missing leader, [[Giovanni]], and persuade him to return to Team Rocket. Also, the Director of the Goldenrod station has been kidnapped and replaced by an impostor. After the player defeats the impostor, he will tell him/her the location of the real Director. When the player frees the real Director, he will give the player the Card Key, which opens the door on 3F of the Radio Tower and leads to the Rocket Executive currently in charge of the group. The player defeats the executive and Team Rocket officially disbands for a second time. The Director rewards the player with a [[Clear Bell]].

Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across {{p|Suicune}}, a Legendary Pokémon that traverses Johto after the player awakens the three [[Legendary beasts]] from their sleep at the [[Burned Tower]]. Unlike {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, Suicune takes notice of the player; similarly, [[Eusine]] shows interest in Suicune, having sought it for ten years and finally catching a glimpse of it thanks to the player. As Eusine challenges the player to a battle near [[Cianwood City]], it becomes clear that Eusine wants to earn Suicune's respect so that he can find out what it is that it looks after. However, it is when the player is entrusted with the Clear Bell that the {{tc|Sage|Wise Trio}} allow them to enter the Tin Tower, where Suicune has arrived to put them to the test. Later in the story, after the player has proven their ability to touch the souls of Pokémon by catching all three of the Legendary beasts, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tin Tower after 150 years of testing humans from afar.

As in all previous games, the main goal of the player is to defeat all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Johto, win all eight Badges, and take on the {{jo|Elite Four}} and the current [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. Afterward, the player will be able to travel to the region of [[Kanto]] and take on the Kanto Gym Leaders for their Badges. After winning all eight Badges, Professor Oak will give the player permission to go to [[Mt. Silver]] and face the protagonist from [[Generation I]], {{ga|Red}}.

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* A female [[player character]], {{ga|Kris}}, was introduced, marking the first time players could choose the gender of their character. The choice is purely aesthetic and does not affect gameplay or story.
* When entering a new area, its name appears on-screen for a brief time. This would become standard for the rest of the series.
* The [[Ice Path]] was redesigned with an ice-like appearance. Some of its puzzles were also changed.
* The [[Burned Tower]] was redesigned on the exterior and interior. The outside was altered to look more liked a burned building rather than a short one (see the Burned Tower page for more information).
* [[Lance]]'s room at the [[Indigo Plateau]] was redesigned to have a draconic appearance, with the statues in the room being replaced with {{p|Dratini}} statues.
* Raikou, Entei, and Suicune have their own special battle music when the player encounters them in the wild, making Crystal the first game to sport special [[Legendary Pokémon]] battle music.
* The [[Dragon's Den]] was subtly altered; now the Dragon Shrine is open, and some {{m|Headbutt}} trees were added to the back of the Shrine.
* The [[Goldenrod Department Store]] had a roof area added.
[[File:CrystalBattle.png|frame|right|Pokémon sprites are now animated.]]
* More work was done on Pokémon sprites:
** Pokémon sprites now play a short animation upon entering the fight and a longer one when the Pokémon's profile is viewed, a feature that would not be seen again until {{game|Emerald}}. In this game, only the front sprites are animated.
** While most of the Pokémon retain their sprites from either Gold or Silver, certain Pokémon, such as {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Croconaw}}, were given new ones. This includes some Pokémon who had identical sprites in both original versions, like {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Suicune}}. The W {{p|Unown}} was redesigned, its new design was used in all future games.
** A few Pokémon, such as {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Sneasel}}, were recolored to more closely match their official artwork.
** Several of the Pokémon that were redrawn gained new back sprites.
* The user interface used during Game Link Cable trades was redesigned. Gold and Silver used a simple black on white trading interface that was identical to the one used in the [[Generation I]] games, mainly to retain compatibility with older [[Game Boy]] systems. In Crystal, the menus were revamped with full color on a black background, a design which better suits the capabilities of the Game Boy Color.
* A fountain was added to the center of the pond in the [[National Park]].
* The inside of [[Mt. Mortar]] was changed.
* Certain Trainers have their dialogue changed.

===Location changes===
* Extra grass was added to {{rt|36|Johto}}, west of [[Violet City]], and in this grass, {{p|Growlithe}} can be caught, allowing players to acquire a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon much earlier than in other versions (assuming they did not [[Starter Pokémon|choose]] {{p|Cyndaquil}}), and making a large difference in the availability of Fire-types for areas like the [[Azalea Gym]] and the [[Sprout Tower]], where Fire-types are super effective.
* Just like in the {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue}} and all releases of {{game|Yellow}}, changes were made to available [[wild Pokémon]]:
** On one hand, several Pokémon that were exclusive to Gold or Silver are available in the wild, like {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Skarmory}}. On the other hand, some species that were available in both Gold and Silver are a no-show this time around, like the {{p|Mareep}} family.
** {{p|Sneasel}} appears in the [[Ice Path]], whereas in Gold and Silver, it did not appear until reaching [[Mt. Silver]].
** {{p|Magmar}} no longer appears in the [[Burned Tower]], instead appearing exclusively in Mt. Silver.
** Some of the wild Pokémon that appear in [[Kanto]] were altered.
* Some Trainers were repositioned on the map.
* Several new Trainers were added, some of which could only be battled when certain conditions are met. For example, Pokéfan Jaime on {{rt|39|Johto}} can only be battled at night. Some of them won't approach the player themselves, and, when spoken to, won't play the "encounter" music before engaging in battle.
* A {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}}, the first in the series, was added to the north of {{rt|40|Johto}}.

===Gameplay changes===
* Ho-Oh cannot be caught until {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} are all caught.
* Changes were made to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. This included more common {{p|Unown}}, as well as a new subplot—completing enough puzzles allows the player to read a secret message left behind by the Unown. It suggests that the Unown were left behind by the ancient civilization that constructed the Ruins of Alph, and that the statues that line the interior were made by those people.
* Previously, Trainers who called on the [[Pokégear#Phone|cell phone]] all said the same phrase, with only the names of the Pokémon they reference changing. Trainers are now given distinct personalities (one talks about shopping, another about grooming), and call for reasons other than battling, such as giving the player items, or informing them of a rare Pokémon appearing (Wade gives the player [[Berry|Berries]], Alan gives them a [[Fire Stone]], etc.).
* The [[Buena's Password]] radio show was added, which players can listen to on their [[Pokégear]] and receive points in order to redeem prizes.
* The new rooftop area of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] has occasional sales, which the player is informed about if Camper Todd's number is registered in the [[Pokégear]].
* The function to reset the clock in non-Japanese and non-Korean versions of Gold and Silver remains, although it is now more difficult to access.
** On the title screen, the player must first hold the '''↓''', '''SELECT''', and '''B''' buttons.
** While holding '''SELECT''', they must release '''↓''' and '''B'''.
** Still holding '''SELECT''', they must now hold '''←''' and '''↑'''.
** Finally, the player must release '''SELECT'''.
* [[Kurt]] can now make multiple Balls from same colored [[Apricorn]]s simultaneously.
* The [[Odd Egg]] was added to the game.
* Some Pokémon have changed level-up movesets, however, all {{p|Suicune|but one}} of them have only one change.
* Some bugs with the battle mechanics were fixed; however, the game performs a check when it detects a Link battle to use the older and buggy mechanics in order to maintain compatibility with {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. This occurs even between linked players of Pokémon Crystal games.
** Likewise, the game also performs a check that partially converts [[Kris]] into {{ga|Ethan}} at the Cable Club and [[Time Capsule]] rooms, even if all the players using the Cable Club rooms are specifically playing Pokémon Crystal.

===Storyline changes===
* Suicune, instead of being a side Legendary Pokémon, has a prominent role in the game's storyline. Awakening the Legendary Beasts is now a prerequisite for challenging Morty. After this, the player will constantly find Suicune in various locations throughout Johto. After receiving a [[Clear Bell]] (where in Gold and Silver, the {{key|II|Rainbow Wing|Rainbow}} or {{key|II|Silver Wing}} would be obtained instead), the player will have a chance to battle and capture it in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], and it will not run away.
* A new character, [[Eusine]], is added to the game. He is searching for {{p|Suicune}} as well, and will battle [[Player character|the player]] in [[Cianwood City]] to earn its respect.
* The chain of events to obtain the {{badge|Rising}} is altered. Where previously, it involved a trip to the [[Dragon's Den]] to retrieve the [[Dragon Fang]], it now involves entering the Dragon Shrine within the Den. There, [[Clair]]'s grandfather and leader of the dragon-user clan quizzes the player on their style of battling. Clair arrives and still refuses to hand over her Badge after the player passes. In response, her grandfather threatens to tell her cousin, Lance, of whom Clair is terrified. If all the questions are answered correctly, the player will receive a {{p|Dratini}} that knows {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} upon returning and speaking with Clair's grandfather.

===Pokémon not found in Crystal===
These Pokémon must be traded from the other games of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}, as they cannot be found in Pokémon Crystal.

Note that "'''{{color|{{green color}}|G}}'''" indicates a Pokémon that can be caught in the {{game|Red and Green|s|Japanese Green}}, and thus in the {{game|Red and Blue|s|Western Blue}} as well.

==Localization changes==
The localized releases of Crystal, while improving on the mechanics of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, did not reprise a number of newer features that the Japanese version had received:

* In the Japanese version, {{p|Celebi}} may be caught at [[Ilex Forest]] after completing a short side-mission. A special event requiring the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] allowed players to obtain the [[GS Ball]]. This item, given by a {{DL|Pokémon Center Nurse|In the games|nurse}} at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]], may be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to investigate. After a day passes, Kurt gives back the GS Ball to the player and asks him/her to check the restless Ilex Forest. Taking the GS Ball to the shrine at Ilex Forest summons a [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to {{pkmn|battle}}. Despite the fact that the GS Ball was unavailable overseas without [[cheating]] or hacking, the event was translated and adapted to the regular [[Pokémon Center]] in Goldenrod City of the Western releases of Crystal, indicating that it was intended for the localizations to include the event, but was later scrapped.
* Goldenrod City's Pokémon Center was replaced by a much larger building, the aforementioned Pokémon Communication Center. The localizations reverted it to the Pokémon Center of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} while changing some of the [[Non-player character|NPCs]] to match those in the Pokémon Communication Center.
* Players could link to [[trade]] or battle through the use of the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] and the previously mentioned Pokémon Mobile System GB.
* Players could leave a Pokémon and a request for the Pokémon species that it be traded for at the Pokémon Communication Center's Trade Corner. A player could also view Pokémon up for trade from other players, and trade with them. This is similar to the current [[Global Trade System]] of the [[Generation IV]] and later games.
* The Pokémon News Machine at the Pokémon Communication Center updated over the Pokémon Mobile System GB. Pokémon News was compiled from the saved game data of players across Japan, allowing players to read about other players' adventures.
* The [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]] at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} gave an {{key|II|Egg Ticket}} which, when taken to the Trade Corner at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], could be traded for an [[Odd Egg]] which hatched into a [[baby Pokémon]] that knows {{m|Dizzy Punch}} and has a 50% chance of being {{Shiny}}. In the localizations, the Day-Care Man instead gives away the Odd Egg himself and it only has a 14% chance of being Shiny.
* The [[Battle Tower (Generation II)|Battle Tower]] does not connect to the Pokémon Mobile System GB in the localization versions and is open at all times.

==Legacy==
While Gold and Silver introduced the majority of Generation II's contributions to the game mechanics, Crystal also featured several additions to the franchise that continue into the future. First, Crystal introduced the option to play as a female character. The game also featured the first [[Move Tutor]] of the series, as well as the first {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}}. This was the first game to include animated sprites for Pokémon, though this only applied to front sprites (back sprites remained still as they did in previous games). This feature was absent in later games until it was reintroduced in {{game|Emerald}}, after which it became standard. Back sprites did not become fully animated until {{game|Platinum}}, which also added animations for important Trainers such as [[Gym Leader]]s. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, sprites remain animated throughout the battle; before these games, Pokémon Crystal was the only game that had more than two frames per animation.

Even though {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were the first games to use [[Legendary Pokémon]] (specifically {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}) as [[game mascot]]s, it was Crystal that incorporated them into the plot for the first time. The story additions involving the [[Legendary beasts]] (most prominently {{p|Suicune}}), Ho-Oh and {{p|Unown}} were unprecedented, since up until then no Pokémon had been referenced in the dialogue on more than one occasion. This was also evident in the fact that the Legendary beasts received a unique battle theme, and in that the plot climax was no longer limited to thwarting [[Team Rocket]], instead culminating in the battle against Suicune at [[Tin Tower]]. Later generations focus on their game mascots as part of the plot involving the [[villainous team]] of the respective region (with the only exception being the remade versions; {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} follow {{game|Red and Green|s}}'s footsteps, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are similar to Crystal in keeping the two stories separated).

The Japanese version of Crystal notably introduced the ability to link to a wireless connection and interact with other characters (via cell phone). The [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] also enabled this ability in [[Generation III]] (albeit to a far lesser extent, due to the Wireless Adapter's limited range), and the Wi-Fi capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS]] completely optimized the concept in [[Generation IV]] games. The [[GS Ball]] event was the first time where an [[event Pokémon]] (in this case {{p|Celebi}}) could be caught in-game as opposed to being directly downloaded to the cartridge; this went on to be the case for several such Pokémon in subsequent generations.

==Reception==
Pokémon Crystal received good reviews, although they were not quite as positive as those of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Like Pokémon Yellow before it, and subsequently Pokémon Emerald, it was criticized for being too similar to its sister games, with IGN commenting, "there's not much in this edition that makes it a 'must buy' for folks who already own a copy or two of the previous editions".<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/165/165402p1.html IGN: Pokemon Crystal Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> IGN still gave the game an "Outstanding" rating of 9/10.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/015/015402.html IGN: Pokemon Crystal Version (Pokemon Crystal)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> The game received an average score of near 80% from GameRankings,<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/375087-pokemon-crystal-version/index.html Pokemon Crystal Version for Game Boy Color - GameRankings] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> about 10% lower than Pokémon Gold and Silver.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/198308-pokemon-gold-version/index.html Pokemon Gold Version for Game Boy Color] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Battery life==
Copies of the [[Generation II]] games typically lose the ability to [[save]] in a shorter timeframe than copies of the [[Generation I]] games due to the battery maintaining both the saved game and {{wp|real-time clock}} data, causing it to drain quicker.

The battery is replaceable with another one of the same kind (a CR2025), or a {{wp|CR2032 battery|CR2032}}, which is slightly thicker and lasts longer. Since it powers the save file, interrupting the power by removing the battery will cause any current save file to be lost. Third party devices such as the [[GameShark]] may offer ways to backup and restore the save file.

A symptom of a battery running dry is the game's inability to keep track of the time correctly (the [[error message]] '''TIME NOT SET''' may also appear on the title screen).

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection}}
Most of the game's music comes from Pokémon Gold and Silver, which have not had any sort of official soundtrack release of the games' original tracks. The closest approximation to such a release is Disc 3 of ''Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection'', which is based on the [[GB Sounds]] item and the [[Pokémon Music Channel#Pokémon Past Archive|Pokémon Past Archive]] radio program of HeartGold and SoulSilver that is meant to emulate the style of chiptunes. However, not all of the old-style music is available on the CD. Additionally, Discs 1 and 2 of the aforementioned soundtrack contain remixes of the music originating from Pokémon Gold and Silver (and Crystal). Moreover, several tracks that are exclusive to Japanese Crystal have not received official releases.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pokemoncrystal.logo.png|thumb|An early logo for Japanese Crystal (the word ''kashō'' (仮称) means "tentative title")]]
* Although [[Game Freak]] released a game called ''[[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2013, the tentative title for a game similar to the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal with planned support to [[Pokémon Mobile System GB|connect to a mobile phone]] and set for an April 2000 release was also ''Pocket Monsters X'' (ポケットモンスターＸ), according to multiple sources such as an {{wp|Asahi Shimbun}} news article from December 1999.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20000303153731/http://www.asahi.com/tech/news/19991216h.html ネット最前線：ニュース]</ref> The game was postponed until 2001 due to the planned release of the [[Game Boy Advance]].<ref>[http://park3.wakwak.com/~pokepale/news/0/old/log/38.htm ポケモン情報サイト「palette」過去ログ38 - ポケパレ！]</ref> The article mentions an [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter|adapter]] for linking a [[Game Boy]] to a mobile phone, with the datacenter server used for the feature being hosted by {{wp|Kyocera}} in {{wp|Kyoto}}.
* The Japanese logo shown at {{wp|Nintendo Space World}} 2000 was originally similar to the one from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/sw2000/itiran/mgb/soft/crystal/ ポケットモンスタークリスタル（仮称）]</ref> Additionally, the previous referred source also shows an early design for the [[PokéCom Club]] rooms.
* People buying a [[Game Boy Color]] during the release of this game were given the option of buying a [[Game Boy Advance]] that came with Pokémon Crystal in the package.
* During battles, Japanese midline horizontal ellipses ("⋯") are used in the English versions instead of regular ellipses ("…") due to an oversight.
[[File:Pokemon Crystal UnusedTitleScreen.png|thumb|right|The unused title screen of Pokémon Crystal]]
* The game's opening shows several {{p|Unown}} communicating with {{p|Suicune}} over radio waves, alerting it to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Oddly, this is not part of the game's story, with the Ruins of Alph sidequest being independent of the plot involving Suicune. That said, the Unown are referenced by the {{tc|Sage|Wise Trio}} as having a cooperative bond with Suicune.
** In the Japanese version, a researcher at the Ruins of Alph claims that the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] influences the Unown. His unused English text is: ''According to my research... Those mysterious patterns appeared when the <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>com Center</sc> was built. It must mean that radio waves have some sort of a link...''
** Additionally, there is an unused static title screen in the game's data that shows an {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Unown|A-shaped}} {{p|Unown}} instead of {{p|Suicune}}. It also does not reboot the game automatically after the title screen's music stops.
* The Japanese [[Super Game Boy]] border of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}} (labeled '''<sc>Pocket Monsters Gold Version</sc>''') is unused in all releases of Pokémon Crystal. The equivalent border from the Japanese {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Silver}} (labeled '''<sc>Pocket Monsters Silver Version</sc>''') is not present.
* This is the last localized [[core series]] game to use the slogan ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]''.
* The Japanese version has an emblem of Suicune's crest on the back of the Game Pak's circuit board.

'''Lorelei''' (Japanese: '''カンナ''' ''Kanna'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Ice}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the games==
Lorelei is the first Trainer of the Elite Four. She is known for her logical, calculated, and cool style of battling.

In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] it's revealed that she grew up on [[Floe Island]]. Lorelei returns to her home to protect the [[Icefall Cave]] from [[Team Rocket]] at one point in the game. She also collects stuffed [[Pokémon doll]]s that she keeps in her house on Floe Island.

Her {{p|Lapras}} has been with her ever since she was a child. She caught it when she was very young in the [[Icefall Cave]].

[[Misty]] idolizes her, as in the anime.

Her whereabouts in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] are unknown, as she is no longer a member of the Elite Four, and no mention of her is made, though dialogue present in FireRed and LeafGreen indicates that she may have given up her position among the Elite Four to protect her friends and family in the Sevii Islands.

[[File:Lorelei anime.png|thumb|250px|Lorelei in the anime, known as Prima in this canon]]
Lorelei's name was changed to '''Prima''' in the English version of the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. According to [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]], this was to fit the amount of syllables; the English name "Lorelei" is three syllables while the Japanese name "Kanna" is only two.

While on [[Mandarin Island South]], {{Ash}} learned that Prima was going to be giving a lecture. {{an|Misty}} was very excited, as Prima was her idol.

Ash enthusiastically challenged her, but Prima didn't seem to take notice of him, unimpressed by the young Trainer. Prima did, however, invite them to her lecture and demonstration.

After Ash insisted once again, Prima finally agreed to a battle - that Ash lost horribly. Prima said that Ash had the potential to become great, but needed to find more inner strength, since he had forgotten what really connecting with his Pokémon was.

Prima had a sort of dreamy, spaced-out personality and often reacted slowly to things. Her strategy in life is to go with the flow, like water, but to become as hard as ice in battle.

She sells recordings of her lectures at high prices.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Lorelei Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Lorelei in Pokémon Adventures]]

Lorelei is a villainess in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga. She is one of the Elite Four and, along with [[Bruno]], [[Agatha]], and [[Lance]], tried to take over the world and kill all humans who weren't nice to Pokémon. She keeps a small webcam in a cosmetics case to communicate with Agatha and has the ability to make voodoo dolls out of ice. Lorelei was recruited by Agatha when she was little and healed her Seel. Agatha found out that they both hated human's cruelty towards Pokémon, so Lorelei joined the Elite Four.

Lorelei froze {{adv|Red}} and [[Sabrina]] in ice, causing them severe injuries that continued to harm them for several years. She later found {{adv|Yellow}} and Bill in Viridian Forest and attacked them with her Dewgong and Cloyster. She used their combined powers to make an "{{m|Icicle Spear|Ice Spike Cannon}}" to bury the two of them alive but Yellow used Pikachu to study the move from inside its Poké Ball. Yellow read Pikachu's mind and knocked out Cloyster, making the attack useless. Lorelei then gave chase to her and Bill and, once they jumped into a river, Lorelei froze it over. Lorelei then started asking questions about Yellow's power and if she could read Pika's past thoughts. Before these questions were answered, Yellow had [[Ratty]] use {{m|Hyper Fang}} through the iceberg and free them. When Lorelei was about to send out her Pokémon once again, Green deflected her Poké Ball and Yellow and Bill got away. Lorelei then contacted Agatha with her cosmetics case about Yellow's ability and proclaims that if Yellow's power grows she will be able to read the past memories of Pika and learn the details of Red and Bruno's battle. She then delegated Yellow as the new target of the Elite Four.

After this, Lorelei had her Shellder and Cloyster attack [[Celadon City]] in order to stall [[Erika]].

{{adv|Green}} and Sabrina battle Lorelei at [[Cerise Island]]. Lorelei used her voodoo dolls to chain Green and Sabrina together and eventually freeze them, just as she had done to Red. The lack of teamwork between Green and Sabrina got Green knocked out (Green was being targeted since she was the one who had humiliated Lorelei in her battle with Yellow). After a while Green woke up and was able to save the herself and Sabrina with [[Blasty]] before they fell of a cliff. She had her Clefable use Minimize to steal the dolls from Lorelei, having Blasty break the two dolls and inadvertently severing Green's arm in the process. It was then revealed that the whole time her arm was actually Ditty and that getting her arm "cut off" was part of her plans and had Ditty tie her up. Sabrina suffered from lasting injuries caused by Lorelei's ice cuffs. As a result, she and Red were forced to deal with painful wounds for a very long time (since Green's arm that was in the cuffs was Ditty, she did not suffer the same injuries).

Lorelei vanished for several years, and only recently made another appearance when she saved Red and {{adv|Blue}} from Team Rocket's [[Beast Warrior Trio]]. Lorelei decided to ally herself with Red and Blue because Team Rocket invaded her home, {{OBP|Four Island|town}} of the [[Sevii Islands]].

Lorelei makes a cameo appearance in the last round of the {{chap|Emerald}}, ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', on a boat heading to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Lorelei PM.png|thumb|120px|Lorelei as a teacher]]
[[File:Lorelei 2 PM.png|thumb|left|130px|Lorelei in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]

Lorelei debuts in ''[[PM033|To the Pokémon League!! ]]'' as the first Elite Four member who is challenged by {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}. She is first seen welcoming Red to the Pokémon League, disguising herself as a teacher. She takes Red to her school and introduces him to her Pokémon. In the school, she gives him and his Pokémon some math assignments and shows them to some plants. After Pikachu managed to get a perfect score on a math assignment, she shows them to the plants and tricks Clefairy by holding a giant magnifying glass by the sun and using the rays to burn Clefairy, with Slowbro shooting water to cool him off. Then, Lorelei decides to serve everyone food. She pulled another trick on Clefairy by hiding her Cloyster in Clefairy's bowl, making him accidentally eat Cloyster. During the physical education class where the Pokémon had to jump over a beam, her Jynx managed to perform it very well and switched the bouncer to make it where Clefairy landed on it. This is where Lorelei revealed herself to be the first member of the Elite Four.

Lorelei had her Pokémon attack Clefairy and Pikachu. However, her Jynx ran off after she failed to immobilize Clefairy and her Lapras and Dewgong were zapped by Pikachu. After the battle, Lorelei and Red shook hands, congratulating Red for a job well done.

==Trivia==
* Lorelei has been depicted with various hair colors: blonde (Pokémon Stadium), purple (Generation I, Pokémon Adventures, and the anime), and red (Generation III, Pokémon Origins).
* In [[The Four Star Challenge|the novelization]] of the anime episode where Lorelei appeared, she is still referred to as Prima, except for one error near the novelization's ending where she is called Lorelei.
* Lorelei is the only member of the Kanto Elite Four, excluding the Champion, to not use two Pokémon of the same species at once. Bruno has two {{TP|Bruno|Onix}}, Agatha has two {{p|Gengar}}, and Lance has two {{p|Dragonair}}.
** However, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, she is shown to own at least a second {{p|Dewgong}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, and {{p|Lapras}}. These Pokémon only appear in her rematch battle, and are all male while those on her first team are all female.
* Lorelei is the first Elite Four member other than the Champion to be seen outside of battle in the games. This is only true for Generation III.
* Lorelei is one of two members of any Elite Four to have a [[Floe Island|home]] shown {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game|s}}, the other being [[Caitlin]].
** Both of these places were inaccessible when the characters first debuted.
* In the side game [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], which is based directly on the anime, she is referred to with the name Lorelei, despite that she had already debuted as Prima in the anime dub.
* In the French localization of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, she's depicted with a stereotypical and prominent German accent.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash, Misty and Tracey are on Mandarin Island where Ash has just won three battles in a row. But, he finally meets his match when they run into, Prima, one of the very best trainers on the Orange Islands. Misty is thrilled to meet her hero because she also trains water-type Pokémon, but, it's Ash who learns a very valuable lesson from this trainer who also sets him on course for a chance at another Orange League badge!

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} are on [[Mandarin Island South|Mandarin Island]], and Ash is on a winning streak. He finishes off a {{p|Butterfree}} with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Ash starts to get a bit full of himself, then lets known the fact that he is hungry. Misty and Tracey then gets something to eat.

As Ash and Misty eat, Tracey tells them that [[Lorelei|Prima]] (known in the games as Lorelei) is going to give a lecture on the island. Misty is ecstatic, and tells Ash and Tracey that Prima is her hero. She hears a voice behind her, and turns to see Prima herself! Misty and Tracey introduce themselves while Ash chokes on his sandwich. She walks past them, however, and bends down to look at {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.

Nearby, {{MTR}} watches from the bushes while [[Jessie]] and [[James]] eat. They peer through their binoculars, and James recognizes Prima. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember who she is. Prima looks out at the ocean, and makes many philosophical comments about nature. But all Ash wants is a {{pkmn|battle}}. But Prima continues to ignore him. Ash interprets this to mean that she's afraid to battle and goes off in search of someone else. He does find an opponent who accepts his challenge. As Prima watches, Ash offers to let the boy set up the rules and they agree on two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} each. Ash sends out {{AP|Squirtle}}, and the boy releases a {{p|Persian}}.

Squirtle uses {{m|Water Gun}}, but Persian dodges it. It unleashes a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, but Squirtle uses {{m|Withdraw}}. Squirtle then pops out of its shell and {{m|Skull Bash}}es Persian, and knocks it out. The boy then sends out a {{p|Tauros}}, who {{m|Tackle}}s Squirtle right away knocking it out. Ash withdraws Squirtle and sends out {{AP|Charizard}}, but Ash still cannot control Charizard and it burns him.

Prima continues to watch as Tauros uses {{m|Take Down}}. Charizard then uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, knocking out Tauros in one hit. He then {{m|Fly|flies}} into the air and attempts to burn everything in sight. Ash tries to call it back, but the beam from the [[Poké Ball]] misses. When Ash gets Flamethrowered again, Prima is forced to intervene, sending out her {{p|Slowbro}}, who uses {{m|Disable}}, immobilizing Charizard in midair. It then brings it down to the ground, and Ash succeeds in calling it back. Prima asks Ash if he knows what he's doing, and he defends himself by saying that he was in the top sixteen in the [[Indigo League]]. Prima isn't impressed and starts to leave. She turns and asks them all to come to her demonstration later. They enthusiastically accept.

Later, Ash and {{ashfr}} watch Prima battle from the stands of Mandarin Island Stadium. {{TRT}} has also snuck in dressed as food vendors. James now fully recognizes Prima, and they plan to steal her Pokémon. The demonstration goes on for a while and Prima defeats every Pokémon she goes up against. Ash watches intently, determined to try to pick up some tips. After the demonstration, Prima invites Ash and his friends to her house for some tea. As Misty and Tracey thank her for inviting them and rave about her Pokémon, Ash sits in silence. Suddenly, he speaks up and announces his suspicions that Prima is trying to teach him reverse psychology (or '''''perverse''''' psychology, as he calls it). Prima tells them that every person has a particular way of acting in and out of battle. She explains to them that she is like the water. She usually "goes with the flow", but when she's in battle, she becomes as cold as ice. She walks outside, and tells Ash that the most important thing is knowing where your strength lies. Ash may be strong in some ways, but he needs to develop what comes from the inside.

Ash then once again challenges Prima to a battle which she accepts. They agree on one Pokémon each, and send out their Pokémon. Ash uses {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Prima chooses {{p|Cloyster}}. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but Cloyster Withdraws into its shell. As a result the attack has no effect. Pikachu uses {{m|Agility}}, but is knocked back by Cloyster's {{m|Reflect}} attack. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder}} which hits but then Cloyster starts to glow red. Tracey warns Ash that this is {{m|Rage}}, which increases its Attack level. Pikachu tries a {{m|Quick Attack}}, but is pummeled by {{m|Aurora Beam}} and Take Down. Ash loses.

Prima calls back Cloyster, and looks at Pikachu to see if it is okay. She tells Ash that he has the skills he needs to be a Pokémon Master, but he needs to remember that his Pokémon are the ones who win the [[Badge]]s. She tells him that with his Pokémon and friends at his side, he'll always succeed. She then tells him that if he wins all the Gym Badges in the [[Orange League]], he'll be presented with an "Honorable Trainer" trophy. Ash then thanks Prima.

Suddenly, voices sound from above. It's {{TRT}}, and they ask if Prima has a recording of her lecture on a CD. She replies that it's on tape only, and whispers to Ash and his friends that it's $18.95. Team Rocket falls out of their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], then says their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]. Misty correctly guesses that their original plan was to steal Prima's Pokémon, but they tell her that they figured they'd lose. They then decided to stick with the program and steal Pikachu. Ash gets ready to fight, but Prima tells him that she'll take care of it.

She sends out {{p|Jynx}}, who uses {{m|Ice Punch}} and freezes Team Rocket. Jynx then uses {{m|Blizzard}} and blows them into the sky. The pieces from the ice block rain down, making sparkles in the sky. Everyone watches, amazed. That evening, Prima tells Ash that the nearest [[Trovita Gym|Gym]] is on [[Trovita Island]], which is straight across the bay on the other side of Mandarin Island. Ash and his friends thank Prima again for everything that she taught him. They wave farewell, and head towards their next adventure.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lorelei Jynx.png|thumb|200px|Jynx in its original design]]
* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]: 
** Pokémon senryū summary: The smile it shows at times is cute: {{p|Primeape}}.
* The book ''[[The Four Star Challenge]]'' is based on this episode.
* Despite the fact that both the preceding and succeeding episodes are included, this episode is missing from the U.S. Netflix, likely because of its [[Pokémon controversy#Racism|depiction of Jynx]].
** This episode is not played on [[Pokémon TV]], and the [[Pokémon.com]] synopsis lacks pictures of Jynx, likely due to this past controversy.
** As of April 2013, it is removed from Pokémon.com entirely.
** It is also removed from the re-release of [[List of English language Adventures on the Orange Islands home video releases (Region 1)|the Orange Islands DVD box set]].
* James calls Prima "Miss Elite," likely a reference to her status as the first member of the Elite Four as Lorelei in the Game Boy games.

===Errors===
* During the scene when a {{p|Kadabra}} battled against Prima's {{p|Cloyster}}, it says "{{p|Alakazam}}". Also, a {{p|Machamp}} says "{{p|Machop}}".
* When Jynx uses {{m|Ice Punch}}, Prima incorrectly orders it to use {{m|Ice Beam}} in the dub.

===Dub edits===
* In the dub, Lorelei is incorrectly referred to as '''Prima'''. 4Kids have claimed that this is due to "Lorelei" having an extra syllable over her Japanese name, "Kanna", although it is also possible that the writers did not know that she already had an English name.

[[File:DeletedsceneEP099.png|thumb|200px|The original Japanese scene, without the zoom added in the dubbed version]]
* A 25-second scene, after Ash suggests that Prima is only denying him a battle because she will lose, was cut from all international dubs. In the original Japanese version, he challenges her to a battle, but she smiles and does not take him seriously, making him blush in embarrassment and anger. Ash then says something inappropriate about Misty in front of Prima. This really angers Misty, she shouts at Ash, and he walks away to find another Trainer to battle. In the versions with the cut, it is simply implied that he feels sorry for her because she didn't accept his challenge.

It has large, spiny ears with teal insides, narrow black eyes, and a long snout with two pointed teeth protruding from the upper jaw. It has a ridge of toxic spines on its back, and a long, pointed horn on its forehead. The horn is harder than a diamond and capable of secreting poison on impact. Its short legs have three claws on each foot. This is a male only species; the female counterpart is {{p|Nidorina}}.

Nidorino is independent and fierce, often described as violent and easily angered. It uses its ears to check its surroundings. If it senses a hostile presence, all the barbs on its back bristle up at once, and it challenges the foe with all its might. Nidorino live in hot {{dl|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}.

==Trivia==
* Nidorino is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a [[Pokémon battle]] both in the {{pkmn|anime}} and in the {{pkmn|games}}. The other is {{p|Gengar}}. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, on which the beginning of [[EP001|the first anime episode]] was based on, as well as the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]].
** It is also the first Pokémon to be both seen and captured in [[Pokémon Adventures]], in much the same way.
* Nidorino, along with Gengar (and, possibly, other Pokémon), originate from the old manga, [[Capsule Monsters]], which is considered the ancestor to the Pokémon franchise.
* The Nidorino that appears in [[Professor Oak]]'s introduction in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} has the [[cry]] of a {{p|Nidorina}}.
* Nidorino's Shiny coloration is the same as {{p|Nidorina}}'s normal coloration. Likewise, Nidorina's Shiny coloration matches Nidorino's normal coloration.
* Nidorino and its {{p|Nidoran♂|pre-evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} name with their female counterparts {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidorina}}. They are all known as the Poison Pin Pokémon.

===Origin===
Nidorino appears to be based on a {{wp|rhinoceros}}, {{wp|porcupine}}, {{wp|rabbit}}, {{wp|mouse}}, or even a {{wp|hamster}}, as seen by their aggressive and independent nature.

====Name origin====
Nidorino may be a combination of ''needle'' and ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}''. ''Nido'' may also be based on ''{{wp|cnidocyte}}'', a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably by jellyfish. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'' (two) or 二度 ''nido'' (two times/two degrees), referring to the two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. ''Rino'' likely alludes to its male gender; in some languages, such as {{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}}, names and words ending in ''o'' are an indication to the male gender.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=poison|type2=poison
|ja=ニドリーノ ''Nidorino''|jameaning=Possibly from "needle", plus masculine ending ''-o''

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Red and Blue}}

'''Pokémon Red Version''' and '''Pokémon Blue Version''' were the first [[Pokémon games]] to be released outside of Japan, becoming available in North America on September 28, 1998,<ref name="Sept28PR"/> in Australia and New Zealand on October 23, 1998 and in Europe on June 10, 1999<ref name="TPCi (RB) [UK]">[http://www.pokemon.com/uk/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-red-version-and-pokemon-blue-version/ Pokémon™ Red Version and Pokémon™ Blue Version | Video Games | Pokemon.com] (UK)</ref> or October 5, 1999<ref name="NoE (Red)">[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Game-Boy/Pokemon-Red-Version-266109.html Pokémon Red Version | Game Boy | Games | Nintendo]</ref><ref name="NoE (Blue)">[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Game-Boy/Pokemon-Blue-Version-266054.html Pokémon Blue Version | Game Boy | Games | Nintendo]</ref> (depending on the source used). In North America, the pair closely followed the debut of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s English dub, which began airing on September 8, 1998,<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=270&page=25 Anime News Network - (Pokemon TV)]</ref> and within a year, Pokémon was well known as a popular [[Nintendo]] franchise.

Unlike later [[generation]]s, Red and Blue were not the same as their corresponding Japanese releases. Japan had gotten their first pair of Pokémon games as {{game|Red and Green|s}}, which in all aspects were the same as Red and Blue with the exception of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} sprite designs and more numerous bugs. When preparing the games for their English release, it was decided that Red & Green would be merged with Japan's already-released third version, {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, for its improved graphics, sound, and [[Dokokashira door glitch|lack of easily-accessed gamebreaking glitches]].

Despite being released towards the end of [[Game Boy]]'s lifespan, they quickly became the best-selling non-bundled games released for the Game Boy as well as being the best-selling {{wp|role-playing game}}s of all time.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
Illustrating the original [[core series|Pokémon gameplay concepts]], the player begins his game in [[Pallet Town]], a small town in the [[Kanto]] region, on the same day as his former best friend and now {{ga|Blue|rival}}. [[Professor Oak]] calls the player to his laboratory, and allows the player to choose from the three Kanto [[starter Pokémon]]: the {{type|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the {{type|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, or the {{type|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}}. After the rival displays jealously, he chooses the starter that has a type advantage against the player's chosen starter and challenges the player to a preliminary battle. Afterwards, the player leaves for his journey across the region, challenging 8 [[Gym Leader]]s and other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s until he reaches the ultimate goal: the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

Along the way, the player will meet up with his rival several times and have multiple run-ins with the insidious [[Team Rocket]], a criminal group that seeks to use Pokémon for their own gain. The player will ultimately find out that the boss of this evil group, [[Giovanni]], is actually the final Gym Leader in the game.

At the end of the game, the player will have a battle against the Champion, {{ga|Blue}}, after beating the [[Kanto Elite Four|Elite Four]].

After the credits, the player will gain access to [[Cerulean Cave]] in [[Cerulean City]] and be able to battle strong Pokémon. The player will be able to battle and capture the strong legendary Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}}.

==Blurb==
You've finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer's license]]. Now, it's time to head out to become the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer. It's going to take all you've got to collect {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|150 Pokémon}} in this enormous world. Catch and train monsters like the shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}}. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}'s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}'s stormy {{m|Gust}}. [[Trade]] with friends and watch your Pokémon evolve. Important—no single Pokémon can win at all. Can you develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time?

==Connectivity==
Like in Red and Green, players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges using a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]]. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to each game of the pair, making it required that a person trade with others in order to complete their [[Pokédex]]. The Game Link Cable also makes possible battles with another player, allowing one to pit his or her Pokémon against new challenges.

Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible in this generation; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game. The latter will always result in corruption if attempted. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data from Japanese to a different language or vice versa, since there is not enough room on either cartridge for all of the text, namely kana and the Latin alphabet (a feature that would [[Generation III|later become possible]]).

==Features==
===Gyms===
Players are introduced to the first eight Pokémon Gyms, each with their own type affiliation, of the series, led by [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Giovanni]] ({{t|Ground}}).

===Elite Four===
The [[Elite Four]] of Kanto are a step above the rest, all located at [[Indigo Plateau]] and ready to take on all challengers. In order, they are [[Lorelei]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Agatha]] ({{t|Ghost}}) and [[Lance]] ({{t|Dragon}}). The final battle is against the [[Pokémon Champion]], {{ga|Blue|the rival}}, who does not have a type specialization.

===Pokémon===
Each game contains pre-recorded data on 151 different species of Pokémon, including {{p|Mew}}, a Pokémon unavailable to players of either game under normal conditions. Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or [[glitches]]. Mew is the only Pokémon in these games that ''must'' be acquired through attending either a Nintendo sponsored event, [[Mew glitch|a glitch]], or [[cheating]].

==[[Game-exclusive Pokémon|Game exclusives]]==
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokémon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II]] which has that Pokémon available.

==Compatibility==
Red and Blue can [[trade]] with all games from Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, provided that a Japanese version of the game isn't being traded with a non-Japanese version. While link battles are not possible directly between Red and Blue and the Generation II games, a player may challenge a Generation II game using [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

Pokémon Red and Blue are completely incompatible with games from Generation {{gen|III}} onward.

==Development==
:''This section is about general development info. For development leftovers and unused content, see [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]].
{{incomplete|section|Wikipedia has nifty info from official sources. Post it and cite it here}}

===As Red, Green, and Blue===
====Female player character====
[[File:RGB guidebook.jpg|right|thumb|Artwork of the female protagonist, where she apparently has a {{p|Squirtle}}]]
There were originally plans for a female protagonist as suggested by the artwork on the cover of the official guidebook for {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}. {{adv|Green}} from [[Pokémon Adventures]] seems to be based on her. The {{ga|Leaf|character}} was redesigned and included in the {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remakes|s}} of the games, to continue the standard of including a female protagonist.

====No Mew present====
According to the interview by [[Satoru Iwata]] with [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] and [[Shigeki Morimoto]] about the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, localized as ''Iwata Asks'', they admitted that after the {{wp|debugging}} tools were removed, they added {{p|Mew}} in the remaining space on the {{wp|Read-only memory|ROM}}. [[Nintendo]] thought that this would have been risky because altering the internal data after completing the testing period meant that any new {{wp|Software bug|bugs}} and/or {{wp|glitch}}es created by adding data without recurring to debugging tools would have been much harder to fix. Standard {{wp|Computer programming|programming}} practices usually discourage altering the {{wp|source code}} and not testing it just before releasing the {{wp|software}} to the customer.<ref>[http://nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks - Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref>

====Poké Balls====
{{main|Poké Ball}}
Some concept art depicts [[Poké Ball]]s on the ground, in two pieces. This is most likely just a carryover from when Pokémon was still the concept of [[Capsule Monsters]]. Strangely, the original Poké Ball sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} lack the button in the center of the Poké Ball.

====Rebattling Trainers====
In an interview with [[Shōko Nakagawa]] in her book [[Shōko Nakagawa: Pokémon Taught Me The Meaning of Life]], [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] revealed that originally, the game was programmed to trigger a battle with each Trainer any time the player walked by them, regardless if the player had already defeated them in battle previously. The [[wild Pokémon]] encounter rate was also significantly higher originally. The Trainer rebattling was omitted from the final release and the wild Pokémon encounter rate was significantly reduced.<ref>[http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/nakagawa_shouko_pokemon_meaning_life.html Dogasu's Backpack: Nakagawa Shouko "Pokemon Taught Me the Meaning of Life"]</ref>

====Concept art====
[[File:Pokemon conceptart.jpg|right|thumb|Early concept art by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
During a gaming exhibition called ''{{wp|Game On (exhibition)|Game On}}'', early concept art of {{game|Red and Green|s}} by [[Ken Sugimori]] was featured, along with [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|pre-release material]] from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The concept art depicts rough versions of various concepts that made it into the final releases of the [[Generation I]] games. They seem to include various {{pkmn|battle}}s, the {{safari|Kanto}}, {{ga|Red}} riding on a {{p|Lapras}}, a {{p|Blastoise}}, [[Celadon City]], [[Silph Co.]], and a town with a fountain which could have been reworked into [[Celadon City]]. Some other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are identifiable in a raw or semi-normal form, such as {{p|Gastly}} and others are prototypical of an entire class of Pokémon, such as a basic {{type|Dragon}}.

====''GameCenter CX''====
{{incomplete|section|Expand based on the information provided by Satoshi Tajiri, if applicable}}
A Japan-exclusive special Pokémon episode of '''''{{wp|GameCenter CX}}''''', known as ''Retro Game Master'' outside of Japan, included an interview with [[Satoshi Tajiri]], where he revealed early {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} character profiles of {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Kadabra}}. Notably, they are given a [[National Pokédex]] number which matches their [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|internal index number]], rather than their final [[Kanto Pokédex]] number. Nidoking, for instance is noted as being #007, rather than #034, either suggesting that there was another method of ordering the Pokémon proposed, or that they reflect their ordering in the internal data. The latter is supported by interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]], which verify that {{p|Rhydon}}, which has an index number of 001, was the first Pokémon ever created, and early sketches from [[Capsule Monsters]] featuring Rhydon. Nidoking is also referred to as '''マイコー♂''' ''Maikō♂'', indicating that there were either placeholder or alternate names for Pokémon before the development of {{game|Red and Green|s}} had finished.

In addition to this, it was confirmed in an interview with [[Shigeki Morimoto]] that there were originally going to be 190 Pokémon in Generation I, indicating that the 39 [[Missingno.]] found in the [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|internal index]] are formatted Pokémon.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78267 There Were 190 Pokémon! | Smogon Forums]</ref>
{{-}}
====Sprites====
[[File:CoroCoro Nov1996 P20 P21.jpg|right|thumb|The earlier Pokémon sprites planned for the Japanese Blue]]
Different front sprites of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} were planned for {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, notably the ones for {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Rhydon}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Dragonair}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}. These were featured in the November 1996 issue of {{wp|CoroCoro Comic}}, which published general information about the game.<ref>[http://d.hatena.ne.jp/poke_age/20120601 2012-06-01 - ポケモンのおっさん]</ref>
{{-}}

===As Red and Blue===
====Pokémon names====
[[File:Generation I prototype English names.jpg|right|thumb|Unidentified poster showing early names for {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}]]
During the promotional period that preceded the English release of both the {{pkmn|anime}} and Pokémon Red and Blue, a large amount of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} were shown with different names from those they had in the final releases. Some of these names were similar to their final names, but some were quite close to their Japanese names, and others were completely different from any current Pokémon name.

====Text====
[[File:Brock RB early battle screenshot.png|right|thumb|200px|"The <sc>Brock</sc> wants to fight!"]]
Before the English releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, screenshots were released of a {{pkmn|battle}} with the {{ga|Blue|rival}} where the text string "''The <sc>Blue</sc> wants to fight!''" was used. While this text would work with a typical {{pkmn|Trainer}}, such as "''The <sc>Lass</sc> wants to fight!''" or "''The <sc>Hiker</sc> wants to fight!''", as they were not given personal names until [[Generation II]], it would cause problems with [[Gym Leader]], [[Elite Four]], [[rival]], and link battles, leaving them to end up as "''The <sc>Misty</sc> wants to fight!''" or "''The <sc>Lance</sc> wants to fight!''", as these Trainers did not at the time have titles, only their names. Because of this, the {{wp|Article (grammar)#Definite article|definite article}} '''''The''''' was dropped in the final releases, leading to the somewhat odd sentence style in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}} of:
* "''{Trainer's class or name} wants to fight!''"{{sup/1|RBY}}
* "''{Trainer's class and name} wants to battle!''"{{sup/2|GSC}}

A screenshot in the instruction manual and player's guide of English Red and Blue still contains the text "''The <sc>Brock</sc> wants to fight!''", possibly suggesting a late removal. The instruction manual also mentions '''Pokémon Leaders''' instead of Gym Leaders.

A slightly different grammar was also going to be used for other text strings.

* "''{Player} sent {Pokémon} out!''" instead of "''{Player} sent out {Pokémon}!''"
* "''A wild {Pokémon} appeared!''" became just "''Wild {Pokémon} appeared!''" (this change would be reverted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where it has been kept since then)
** Similarly, "''The enemy {Pokémon} fainted!''" became simply "''Enemy {Pokémon} fainted!''" (also reverted in Diamond and Pearl as the {{wp|Article (grammar)#Definite article|definite article}} '''''The''''' was reinstated)

[[File:ODDISH CUT.png|right|thumb|"<sc>Oddish Cut</sc> down a bush!"]]
On page 31 of ''{{wp|Nintendo Player's Guide}}'' for {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, a different text string for using {{m|Cut}} on a tree on the overworld was used. It reads "''<sc>Oddish Cut</sc> down a bush!''", being used in a screenshot when cutting down the tree next to the [[Vermilion City]] [[Gym]]. The fact that Cut can also be used to destroy areas of [[tall grass]] may have been the reason for the change to "''{Pokémon} hacked away with <sc>Cut</sc>!''" in the final releases.

{{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}} has {{wp|VRAM}} tileset data for <sc>Green</sc>. {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}} lacks any equivalent data for <sc>Red</sc>, however.<ref>[http://tcrf.net/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue&oldid=134791 Pokémon Red and Blue - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>

==Reception==
The games received positive reviews from the press, receiving a perfect 10/10 "Masterful" rating from IGN.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/016/016708.html IGN: Pokemon Blue Version (Pokemon Blue)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> The games received an average score of about 89% on GameRankings,<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/367023.asp Pokemon Red Version for Game Boy - GameRankings] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> the second highest on the site for a [[core series]] Pokémon game, and the 3rd and 4th best score for a [[Game Boy]] title.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?site=gameboy Reviews and News Articles - GameRankings] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> 

===Criticism===
While bringing Pokémon to international fame and continuing the legacy of the Japanese Red and Green, Pokémon Red and Blue have been met with much criticism, especially compared to more recent releases in the series. Aside from the number of [[glitch]]es present in the games, many Pokémon look very little like their appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}}, which premiered nearly simultaneous with the games' North American release, or later games, which improved on several other aspects as well as the graphics.

The two games are also notorious for their several drastic glitches, among them the fabled [[Missingno.]], [[Glitch City]], and the [[Mew glitch]]. Despite this, the glitches are arguably minimal points of criticism due to the reward value that comes from their activation, such as the multiplication of a player's sixth item that happens when Missingno. is encountered.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD}}
The soundtrack release for {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} also applies to Pokémon Red and Blue.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Red and Blue}}

==Trivia==
* The American staff in charge of localizing the games tried to change the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} designs; however, [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] refused the proposal.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/taidan1/page03.html スペシャル対談／３]</ref>
* The blurb on the back of the boxes states that 139 different {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can be obtained in each game without trading. This, however, includes all Pokémon that the player must choose between (i.e., both the {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Kabuto}} families are counted). Therefore, the true total of different Pokémon obtainable in one adventure without trading is 124, which excludes the two unchosen starter families, one Fossil family, two Eeveelutions, one of Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, and the four Pokémon that only evolve when traded.
* According to the ''Pokémon Pokédex Collector's Edition'' (Prima's Official Pokémon Guide), Red and Blue were developed by a team of nine members.
* [[Pokémon.com]]<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-red-version-and-pokemon-blue-version/ Pokémon™ Red Version and Pokémon™ Blue Version | Video Games | Pokemon.com] (USA)</ref> and the [[Nintendo World Store]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afo0sk9VNww Nintendo - Nintendo World Pokémon Series Showcase] (YouTube)</ref> exhibit erroneously list the release date of Pokémon Red and Blue as September 30, 1998. The game was actually released on September 28, 1998.<ref name="Sept28PR"/>
* Because the script for {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, was used for the translation of the Japanese trio into Pokémon Red and Blue, translation errors were made for two of the [[List of in-game trades|in-game trades]].
** The old man who trades the {{player}} an {{p|Electrode}} on [[Cinnabar Island]] claims that the {{p|Raichu}} he received "went and [[Evolution|evolved]]". As Raichu does not have an evolved form, this is not possible. In the context of Pokémon Blue, it makes sense as the player trades away a {{p|Kadabra}}, which evolves through trade, for a {{p|Graveler}}.
** The old man that trades the player a {{p|Jynx}} in [[Cerulean City]] claims that the {{p|Poliwhirl}} he received "went and evolved". While Poliwhirl does evolve, it does not evolve by [[trade]] {{p|Politoed|in Generation I}} but rather through the use of a {{evostone|Water Stone}}. In the context of Pokémon Blue, the old man trades away a {{p|Haunter}} for a {{p|Machoke}}, which does evolve through trade.
* An error made during development causes the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} depicted during [[Professor Oak]]'s introductory lecture to be a {{p|Nidorino}} but with the [[cry]] of a {{p|Nidorina}}. This was already the case in the Japanese Red, Green, and Blue.

(Japanese: '''アニメ　ポケットモンスター問題検証報告''' ''Anime: Pocket Monsters Problem Inspection Report'') is a special broadcast about the Pokémon anime. It is sixty minutes in length. The special is about the [[EP038]] incident, which resulted in 685 viewers being sent to hospital due to photosensitive epileptic seizures; however, only 150 were actually admitted into hospital due to other children recovering in the ambulance.

The special was never released outside of Japan, likely due to only affecting Japanese viewers. It is known to have aired at least once.

==Summary==
Professor Harding from Aston University, an expert on photoparoxysmal response provocation who helped establish the guidelines used by the British ITC, is invited into the studio to determine the cause of the problems found in Pokémon, and explain the medical backing of the guidelines established by TV Tokyo.
Also, the program began with a greeting and apology by the President of TV Tokyo, the history of the incident, explanation of the video techniques used in episode 38 of Pokémon, and the announcement of the newly-developed "Anime Checker", a machine which detects and analyses video flicker.

Talk:List of references to popular culture in Pokémon

2015-08-22T05:27:10Z

Morgil27: /* South Park reference? */ new section

So, this page is essentially the opposite of [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture]]. However, this needs to be clear references, not "might be a reference". Pokémon origins should not be placed here unless they are officially confirmed to be a reference to the claimed thing. References to the real world go on [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world]]. Pulseman references go on [[List of references to Pulseman]]. This page should be reserved for references to other works of fiction, so referencing sports teams still belongs on "Pokémon world in relation to the real world", but song titles are still fine here. References within [[Super Smash Bros.]] games and [[Pokémon Conquest]] do not count.

Having said all that, the whole reason for me making this in my userspace first is because I don't know many right away, but I know that there are a lot that I don't know about or simply can't find quickly, so it would be great if everyone could help out. Even anime episode titles count. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:10, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
:Now it's mainspace, so my rules no longer apply, but I think they are still reasonable. If you object to them, please put it on the talk page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:53, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

== Possible reference ==

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is a cabinet in Room 4 with broken glass in front of it. The message given when investigating the glass is "''These shelves look like they might fall apart at any moment. There's an old game system with two screens... Something about it is different from the system you have...''" I have a few theories:
# The game is referencing the Game & Watch, of which some versions had a dual-screen design like the 3DS.
# The game is referencing a Nintendo DS or DS lite, since the game simply says "something". It could be a DSi or DSi XL, but I doubt it.
# Along with one of the other two theories, the PokéNav Plus has only one screen, meaning that the game is probably breaking the fourth wall by referring to the system that you, the player (not the player character) have.
[[User:Bigpboy|Bigpboy]] ([[User talk:Bigpboy|talk]]) 23:50, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
:Room 4 of what? Game Freak's never done anything with the Game & Watch line of console/games, so that's not likely.[[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 00:05, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

== South Park reference? ==

I forget which specific trainer it was, but I remember in B2W2 in Pinwheel Forest, there was a teacher who says that she often has to yell at her students to "sit down and shut up". I'm pretty sure this was a reference to the bus driver in early seasons of South Park. [[User:Morgil27|Morgil]] ([[User talk:Morgil27|talk]]) 05:27, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection

2014-03-21T00:57:53Z

Morgil27: /* English Track names mistakes */ new section

== English Album Art ==

The current album art is Japanese. We have the English one here:
[[File:Pokémon Diamond Pokémon Pearl Super Music Collection.png]]
It is too small; 170x170. There`s a bigger one at iTunes; 255x255. I'm apparently not autoconfirmed on Archives, so if someone could upload it, that'd be great.
[http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music6/v4/3c/8d/1f/3c8d1f0b-c6ed-4e84-0ff9-624797b26fc3/859711583117_cover.255x255-75.jpg]
Still really small. [[User:ArtistKyurem|ArtistKyurem]] ([[User talk:ArtistKyurem|talk]]) 06:10, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

== English Track names mistakes ==

I noticed a couple of mistakes with the iTunes track names:
- Tracks 18 and 19 are identical
- tracks 51 and 55 are nearly identical, save for a mispelling in 51
- Should track 85 have a "(Night)" in it?

I don't have the iTunes version of the album, so i don't know what those track titles are supposed to be, otherwise i'd fix them myself. --[[User:Morgil27|Morgil]] ([[User talk:Morgil27|talk]]) 00:57, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

== Jotun? ==

Is it possible that AZ might be based of a Jotun? (forgot how to spell it.) For those who don't know, they are giants that exist in Norse myth, which various aspects of X and Y are based off.--[[User:BigBadBatter|BigBadBatter]] ([[User talk:BigBadBatter|talk]]) 00:39, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

== AZ's Floette ==
Is AZ's Floette is the same as the [[Floette]] that was revealed by a hacker a few weeks back? - {{unsigned|Sage1661}}
**Possibly, but it can't be posted unless it's comfirmed officially.[[User:BraviaryGirl23|BraviaryGirl23]] ([[User talk:BraviaryGirl23|talk]]) 00:02, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

== Spoiler alert? ==

I was thinking that we could have a toned downed version of the article. Both me and several friends were spoiled just by browsing through. [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] ([[User talk:Bobosmith01|talk]]) 22:50, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
:This is an encyclopedia for the Pokemon series, which features detailed information on the characters of said series. Also, the game has been out for a month and a half, going on two, so it's not our fault that you got spoiled. Do you have a suggestion as to how we can tone the article down? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:13, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

== Battle Music ==

Since according to the trivia AZ's battle music is that of the Gym Leader battle style, even though he's classed as a Pokemon Trainer. It may be a hint that if & when Pokemon Z comes out, he will be a Gym Leader. [[User:Frahaleah|Frahaleah]] 19:14, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
:That's speculation. The Bulbagarden Forums would be a better place to discuss that. [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 19:52, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

==Beaten==
Just out of curiosity, what happens if you lose to him during the credits? I have looked around and most people have said that even if he beats you, the game will react as if you won and events will play as normal. If this is the case, should it be mentioned that AZ is the only trainer you can lose to and not have to return to a Pokemon Center immediately after (White out). [[User:Darkcloud1111|'''''Darkcloud1111''''']][[User talk:Darkcloud1111|'''~Fastest Hero Alive''']] 10:43, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Morgil27: /* Homeland retcon? */ new section

== The origin of his name. ==

Does "Surge" be a name or a surname?
Where does it derives from?
What does it mean? {{unsigned|Siegfried}}

A surge, in English, is a rush of electric current. It is most definitely his last name, as per military conventions; Dwight D. Eisenhower was General Eisenhower. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 09:41, 11 December 2005 (CST)

Thank You! {{unsigned|Siegfried}}

More like Lt. JG Surge, according to his rank insignia. --[[User:Dr. Forrester|Dr. Forrester]] 02:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
:What insignia? [[User:Morgil27|Morgil27]] 19:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

== Pikachu → Raichu? ==

Should it really be counted as that under the Pokémon in the Anime section? I mean, we never saw it as a Pikachu...so, idk.
:It was specifically stated that Lt. Surge had evolved it from a Pikachu rather than catching it as a Raichu. That was an important plot point, even. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 02:46, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

== Hometown Vermillion? ==

Is that really his hometown? I mean his title is "The Lightning '''American'''" so I'm guessing he's from America. Should we put it as unknown?

This might seem like a stupid question but I think it's something to think about. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:42, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
:you bring up a good point, but we dont know for sure where the "pokemon nation" is. it may be in america, it may be japan. on the contrary, this being '''the''' poke resource, it think unknown would work best. leave no loop-holes. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:46, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well we do know that America exists in the Pokémon world. Remember that episode where Ash and co. went to Hollywood to see a movie. Not to mention that it's Meowth's hometown. I assume that the Pokémon regions are supposed to exist in Japan since the regions are based on it. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

:::: This is a question that comes up frequently in my mind. Most glaringly about Lt. Surge. "He's the Lightning American" he's a military officer and he's been in a "War." I would like very much to know where these things occurred. For example: Is there an America? If we are assuming from the Anime that Japan is where many of the Pokemon games are set then we can also assume that since they go to Hollywood mention "Chinese Food" that there is a rest of the world, and it's similar to ours. Ok, so that much taken at face value...what war was he in? In Red and Blue there's some mention that there was a "War" and he was involved. in FR/LG other trainers and people claim that he saved them in the war, and that an electric Pokemon had saved him, and that he was a pilot. Possible I suppose, but then we are to glean from these tidbits, that 1) Lt. Surge is an Air Force or Navy pilot Officer, and 2) That Pokemon were used in warfare at least at some point in history. Which is the part of the Pokemon history I want to see cannon material about. --[[User:Ginocoolowski|Ginocoolowski]] 20:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

== Japanese name ==

Is it possible that his Japanese is spelt like ''Matisse'' instead of ''Machisu''. It said that his Korean name is a transliteration of Matisse so why couldn't his Japanese name be the same? I believe Machisu can be a transliteration of Matisse.

As for why they named him Matisse, I think it might have to do with [http://www.matissesoftware.com/index.html the software company] and not the actual {{wp|Henri Matisse|artist}}. I think it's worth investigating. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Since I'm new here I won't try and edit the page just yet, instead I'll see if a few people agree with this point and think it's worth adding to the page.

[[File:Spr FRLG Lt Surge.png]]
:There's six pixels of color there. It's practically impossible to make out what kind of ball it is. Besides, it's probably not significant. Sprites have a limit on the number of colors they can contain, and to save space they probably just used a color from elsewhere on the sprite (in this case, the shading on his hair). --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 20:36, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
The story starts in [[Hoenn]] region, where a wild {{p|Duskull}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Beautifly}} and {{p|Cacnea}} are seen attacking someone. The person opens a Poké Ball, and releases a Pokémon that easily defeats them without being seen. The person is revealed to be [[Norman]], the new Gym Leader of Petalburg City, who is being interviewed by [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby and Ty]].

Norman's wife watches as she drives a moving truck to her new home in Hoenn with her son in the back. She calls to her son that his father is on television, but guesses that he wouldn't want to see in the first place. In the back of the truck, a young man named {{adv|Ruby}} dolls up his three Pokémon: a {{p|Poochyena}} named [[Nana]], a {{p|Skitty}} named [[Kiki]], and a {{p|Ralts}} named Rara.

Ruby notices that a piece of Nana's fur is too long compared to the other, so he cuts it to make both sides match. Suddenly, the truck gets stuck in mud and comes to a screeching halt. Ruby's mother tells him to come outside and help, but Ruby refuses due to the thought of his Pokémon getting dirty.

Instead, Ruby opts for having Rara use her {{m|Confusion}} technique to move the truck out of the mud. Ruby opens the back of the truck to see Hoenn for the first time, where he considers it to be just like his Pokémon: beautiful.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
The round opens to Sapphire running with [[Chic]] and [[Rono]] as she recites her promise to deliver a letter to Mr. Stone's son, Steven. She starts her first Gym challenge at the [[Rustboro Gym]] and opens the door but finds no one inside. Suddenly, a bell rings and several people rush inside and start studying.

Confused, Sapphire checks and confirms that she is at a Pokémon Gym. When Sapphire wonders where the Gym Leader is, she is told by a person entering the room that they are the Leader.

At the Rustboro hospital, [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby and Ty]] wonder what to do about the situation that happened with Mr. Stone. Due to broadcast regulations, they are unable to put what really happened on the news. However, they manage to use their recorded footage to find out the name of the people who attacked Mr. Stone: [[Team Aqua]].

Back at the Gym, the Leader, [[Roxanne]], begins giving test papers to the people that entered her Gym earlier. Believing that she is giving a lesson, Sapphire decides to come back at a more appropriate time. Roxanne corrects her, and reveals that in order to face her in a battle, one must take a test.

Due to Sapphire's poor reading skills, she has to have someone read out certain words to her, but manages to finish it. Later, Roxanne is pleased to see that someone has managed to pass with full marks for the first time since she started the test. After struggling to read the poorly-written name, she is shocked to see that the winner was Sapphire.

Roxanne accepts her challenge and sets up a stage to start their Gym battle. They start their match, with Sapphire choosing Rono and Roxanne choosing {{p|Nosepass}}. When Nosepass proves to be too strong for Rono, Sapphire decides to switch to Chic, but finds that she cannot. Roxanne starts laughing, and exclaims that for Sapphire's Rono, there is no escape.

Somewhere on {{rt|105|Hoenn}}, a man on a boat named [[Mr. Briney]] discovers {{adv|Ruby}} floating in the water. Using his net, he fishes the unconscious boy out of the sea.

The counter of the bet continues at seventy-six days.

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese version, Sapphire's inability to read the paper stems from her being unable to read {{wp|Kanji}} (which is why she had to have the words read out loud to her). The Chuang Yi translation makes her just look illiterate due to her paper being in plain English.
===Errors===
* In the Chuang Yi translation, this round is called number 189 on the first page it appears on. The next page uses the proper number.
* In the Chuang Yi translation, {{adv|Sapphire}} writes her name as "Birch Sapphire" (which is something that would only make sense in the Japanese version) instead of "Sapphire Birch".
* In the Chuang Yi translation, Peeko is mistakenly named "Pepper". This is corrected in the next volume.
* In the Chuang Yi translation, [[Pecha Berry]] and [[Bluk Berry]] are referred to as "Peacha Berry" and "Bulk Berry", respectively.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
The round opens with {{adv|Sapphire}} sending out [[Rono]] and [[Chic]] to battle the three Pokémon that have just leapt from the broken fountain. They manage to pin down the {{p|Sharpedo}} and {{p|Carvanha}}, but the {{p|Lombre}} attacks [[Mr. Stone]] and steals a machine from his pockets before running off. The Sharpedo and Carvanha run off too, forcing Sapphire to chase after them with Mr. Stone being carried on her back.

As Sapphire, Gabby, and Ty chase after the Pokémon, they realize that the attack was too coordinated to a coincidence, meaning that the attackers were given orders. They chase the Pokémon into [[Petalburg Woods]], but Sapphire reveals that she is much more energetic in nature, allowing her to locate the three thieves.

Noticing that one of their Pokémon is missing, Sapphire sees that the {{p|Lombre}} had snuck up behind them and it attacks Gabby and Ty. Sapphire tries to attack, but one of the thieves reveals that her Pokémon were injured from her {{p|Sharpedo}}'s {{a|Rough Skin}}. But, to give them an advantage, the female thief, Shelly, gives her Lombre a Water Stone to fully-evolve into a {{p|Ludicolo}} and allowing it to easily defeat Sapphire's Pokémon.

The thieves reveal that Mr. Stone actually had the component to the [[Submarine Explorer 1|S.S. Kaien 1]] which he going to deliver whilst pretending to be on a stroll. Since they now have the component, the thieves prepare to kill Sapphire and company in order to silence her. Before Sapphire can react, Mr. Stone's Castform helps by giving her Chic a boost in strength with {{m|Sunny Day}}, allowing her to beat Shelly's Ludicolo.

Having escaped, Sapphire takes the injured Mr. Stone, Gabby, and Ty to Rustboro City. Gabby thanks Sapphire for saving them, but Sapphire says that it was Castform who really saved them with its Sunny Day. Mr. Stone comes to, and Sapphire apologizes for not being able to get the component back for him. Before he faints again, Mr. Stone gives Sapphire a letter to give to his son, Steven. After he falls unconscious again, Sapphire promises to deliver the letter to his son.

==Major events==
* [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby and Ty]] are attacked by [[Team Aqua]]'s {{p|Ludicolo}}.

'''{{tt|Lombre Larceny|VIZ Media}}/{{tt|VS Lombre|Chuang Yi}}''' or '''Inside the Fountain''' (Japanese: '''VS ハスブレロ''' '' VS {{tt|Hasubrero|Lombre}}'' or '''給水口の中に''' ''Inside the Fountain'') is the 188th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
The round opens at the outskirts of [[Petalburg City]], where a crowd has gathered to watch {{adv|Sapphire}} struggle to free a {{p|Castform}} from a fountain. [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby and Ty]] watch as Mr. Stone begs Sapphire to wait for the authorities, only to have her refuse because it would be too late if they waited. Instead, Sapphire has [[Rono]] chew the iron pillar of the fountain so she can easily rip the top part off, freeing Castform. With Castform freed, she has [[Chic]] warm its body with its flames.

The crowd celebrates Sapphire's rescuing of Castform, but Mr. Stone asks if her Rono is all right after eating all of the iron. Sapphire explains that Rono's favorite food is actually iron, and that he has a big appetite. Realizing that Mr. Stone is the president of the Devon Corporation, Maryann has Tyler go interview Sapphire due to it having the potential to be a great news story. Sapphire, not liking television, decides to turn down the interview option and leaps onto a lamppost.

Nearby, three people in maintenance personnel uniforms watch the scene in frustration. They explain to [[Archie|their boss]] via PokéGear that they had sabotaged the fountain as a trap for Mr. Stone. Since he strolls with his Pokémon here every day, the plan had been to lure him in by trapping his Pokémon in the fountain, then disguising themselves as staff and kidnapping him when they arrived to "rescue" his Castform. However, thanks to Sapphire's interference, they've been foiled. Their boss tells the three that while he would have preferred for them to kidnap Mr. Stone in secrecy, it still has to happen today, and that he doesn’t care what they do as long as the mission is successful.

Back at Sapphire's location, Mr. Stone introduces himself to Sapphire and requests that he come to the next town with him so that he can properly express his gratitude. Sapphire immediately jumps down and reveals that something else is inside of the fountain. Suddenly, three Pokémon leap out of the fountain and attack.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
The story starts in [[Hoenn]] region, where a wild {{p|Duskull}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Beautifly}} and {{p|Cacnea}} are seen attacking someone. The person opens a Poké Ball, and releases a Pokémon that easily defeats them without being seen. The person is revealed to be [[Norman]], the new Gym Leader of Petalburg City, who is being interviewed by [[Gabby and Ty|Maryann and Tyler]].

Norman's wife watches as she drives a moving truck to her new home in Hoenn with her son in the back. She calls to her son that his father is on television, but guesses that he wouldn't want to see in the first place. In the back of the truck, a young man named {{adv|Ruby}} dolls up his three Pokémon: a {{p|Poochyena}} named [[Nana]], a {{p|Skitty}} named [[Kiki]], and a {{p|Ralts}} named Rara.

Ruby notices that a piece of Nana's fur is too long compared to the other, so he cuts it to make both sides match. Suddenly, the truck gets stuck in mud and comes to a screeching halt. Ruby's mother tells him to come outside and help, but Ruby refuses due to the thought of his Pokémon getting dirty.

Instead, Ruby opts for having Rara use her {{m|Confusion}} technique to move the truck out of the mud. Ruby opens the back of the truck to see Hoenn for the first time, where he considers it to be just like his Pokémon: beautiful.

== The Team Rocket motto ==

I'm wondering, should one of the Team Rocket articles provide info about the mottos? [[User:Goldchaos|Goldchaos]] 21:44, 21 November 2005 (CST)

Hmm. Perhaps under the anime section (or create a separate article for the JJM motto [which has varied a few times, perhaps worthy of its own article] and link to that from the articles for those three). - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 04:09, 22 November 2005 (CST)

There's also the motto in the bookcases in the Mahogany Town Base in GSC. Something along the lines of: "Steal Pokemon for Profit! Exploit Pokemon for Profit! Pokemon exist for the glory of Team Rocket!" - PikamasterADV

Its been used by the main character(s) in 2 episodes: rescuing chicorita and one in the diamond and pearl series --[[User:Pocketmonster|Pocketmonster]] 03:47, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

:Never seen the rescuing Chikorita episode, but I have seen the one in Ditto's Mysterious Mansion and the other in The Keystone Pops! (Too lazy to find episode numbers and link to the episode) - [[User:SpontaneousCombusken|spontaneous'''Combusken''']] 03:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

::Personally, I think that Jessie and James are main characters..... But not TR as a whole. I can't really word this correctly... --[[User:Cat2killer|Catu42]] 22:59, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I found this and it reminded me of the team rocket motto

And how does this have anything to do with Team Rocket?~[[User:Pokemaniac102|Pokemaniac102]] 03:51, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

:Of course, it's entirely possible the comic was based off of Team Rocket's motto. But it doesn't matter at all. Would've been better if you posted this in the forums, though, since it doesn't have anything to do with the article at all, or any of the other articles. - [[User:SpontaneousCombusken|spontaneous'''Combusken''']] 03:57, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

== Stock art ==

Ok, so for the stock art and the Nazi thing, they are NOT doing the Hitler salute, they are in one of their poses. It would be like people doing ballet who have poses at the end of their dances. Deal with it. They aren't like the Nazis. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 18:00, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
:In ''[[AG013|All things Bright and Beautifly]]'', they made an edit in the Rocket Fantasy because the grunts and the trio were doing a similar pose to the "Heil Hitler" pose. it was definitely a Nazi salute, especially considering their affiliation with Team Rocket, a paramilitary organization. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 18:04, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
::That was in ONE episode, not all of them. They realized it looked too much like the Heil Hitler, so they changed it. They'll do things like that, such as the Registeel pose in D/P. They had to change that for the European version because of the similarity. None of it is intentional. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 18:07, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
:::Registeel may have been unintentional, but I doubt it was a coincidence that it even resembled one of the most evil paramilitary totalitarian organizations of history. I mean, Team Rocket in the Anime has control of at least four areas (As the Sevii Islands appeared in the anime as well, I'd say they have a base located in Sevii Islands as well, as it did have one in the games.), and was implied to have taken over Hoenn at the end of the Hoenn arc, making five thus far, the fact that, out of all the criminal organizations that have debuted as of yet, they are currently the only ones who have had access to military grade vehicles (''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' had JJM using a Tank, as well as a Submarine capable of firing weapons that could destroy a city in some episodes, as well as the fact that they owned Jeeps [a standard Military transport vehicle] in the Red Gyarados Arc are all testaments to this. Heck, just like the Nazis and Hitler, Giovanni was considered to be a respected high official in there, being quite unaware that he is actually a dictator.). I mean, it's not the first time the Japanese referenced the Nazis when making their shows. I mean, the Red Ribbon army in Dragon Ball was deliberately based off of the Nazi party (even going as far as to include a Germanic, Gay, Superstrong psychic using high general by the name of General Blue into the mix.). Believe me, it was deliberately based off of the Nazi salute. there's been too much evidence for it to be that for it to not be a nazi reference. I am removing it because you said it shouldn't be mentioned as it would cause too much controversy, so the image would have to go as well. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 18:24, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
::::By that logic, all articles pertaining to Team Rocket should be deleted as well.--[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[Quilava (Pokémon)|Racer''']] [[User talk:RexRacer|'''''-talk''''']] 18:27, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

We should remove them from the article. HOWEVER, we must also realize that we don't know if they will be appearing or not (in other words, don't state that Team Rocket isn't appearing in HG/SS when removing the remakes link as if you know that they won't until we have more info.).

Should I put a spoiler warning before the bit that reveals who the Viridian City Gym Leader is? [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 09:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

:It's not really needed. We don't have spoilers on Giovanni's page, Viridian City's page, or the Viridian Gym page. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 13:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

== TR Name in Japanese ==
団 (dan) means "Group, Team, Club, Gang..." basically any grouping. It's used in school clubs, sports teams, etc. So putting it up as "Rocket Gang" is sort of misleading. It DOES mean that... but it also means "Rocket Team" or "Rocket Club" or any sort of "Rocket Group". I think we should mark it as "Rocket Team" because it is closest to the English name, even if TR is actually a gang. [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 00:59, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

:The person who notes CherryParanoia doesn't exist. [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 13:05, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

== Team Rocket Base in the Anime? ==

In the first Paragraph it states "An underground school for aspiring Team Rocket operatives is present somewhere in the region, while the organization's headquarters were formerly near Pallet Town." What Episode confirms that the HQ base was anywhere near Pallet? --[[User:Lordrogersmith6485|Lordrogersmith6485]] 00:15, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
:[[EP065]]. Team Rocket go to meet Giovanni at the head quarters before it is destroyed by Mewtwo. They then head to Oak's Lab in Pallet town planning to steal Pokémon. So presumably the HQ was close to Pallet. Then again in one episode they managed to get from Saffron City to Goldenrod in one night (EP159) so they can travel fast if need be.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 00:52, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
::So is that more of an assumption rather than the consideration that the Team Rocket Trio are somehow capable of quick transporation? Well, we can leave that be I suppose.

:In ''[[AG013|All things Bright and Beautifly]]'', they made an edit in the Rocket Fantasy because the grunts and the trio were doing a similar pose to the "Heil Hitler" pose. it was definitely a Nazi salute, especially considering their affiliation with Team Rocket, a paramilitary organization. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 18:04, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
::That was in ONE episode, not all of them. They realized it looked too much like the Heil Hitler, so they changed it. They'll do things like that, such as the Registeel pose in D/P. They had to change that for the European version because of the similarity. None of it is intentional. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 18:07, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
:::Registeel may have been unintentional, but I doubt it was a coincidence that it even resembled one of the most evil paramilitary totalitarian organizations of history. I mean, Team Rocket in the Anime has control of at least four areas (As the Sevii Islands appeared in the anime as well, I'd say they have a base located in Sevii Islands as well, as it did have one in the games.), and was implied to have taken over Hoenn at the end of the Hoenn arc, making five thus far, the fact that, out of all the criminal organizations that have debuted as of yet, they are currently the only ones who have had access to military grade vehicles (''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' had JJM using a Tank, as well as a Submarine capable of firing weapons that could destroy a city in some episodes, as well as the fact that they owned Jeeps [a standard Military transport vehicle] in the Red Gyarados Arc are all testaments to this. Heck, just like the Nazis and Hitler, Giovanni was considered to be a respected high official in there, being quite unaware that he is actually a dictator.). I mean, it's not the first time the Japanese referenced the Nazis when making their shows. I mean, the Red Ribbon army in Dragon Ball was deliberately based off of the Nazi party (even going as far as to include a Germanic, Gay, Superstrong psychic using high general by the name of General Blue into the mix.). Believe me, it was deliberately based off of the Nazi salute. there's been too much evidence for it to be that for it to not be a nazi reference. I am removing it because you said it shouldn't be mentioned as it would cause too much controversy, so the image would have to go as well.

== Confused ==

Okay, so I'm a bit confused about the short "Mewtwo's origin"...there is a CD drama, right? is that just a plain audio CD? If so, then what is the 12 minute clip that was cut from the dubbed version of the 1st movie? And what's with Madam Boss and Miyamoto? All i know is Miyamoto saw Mew in the mountains and hasn't been heard from again. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 22:02, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

== Continuity ==

I know that there are conventions that determine where the movies take place in the Pokemon storyline, and that said conventions place this movie between The Pi-Kahuna and Make Room For Gloom, but I believe it takes place much later: Specifically, between Pallet Party Panic and A Scare in the Air. My material evidence is that when the brainwashed Nurse Joy in the movie requests that Ash and company release all their pokemon, there is no sign of Pidgeotto. Less concrete is my feeling that, up to the point of The Pi-Kahuna, Ash had not accomplished anything that would have gained him sufficient notoriety to cause trainers from as far away as Johto (as indicated by the presence of a Donphan in the party of the trainer that challenges Ash in the movie's opening) to specifically seek Ash out. It would require a feat as significant as placing in the top 16 of his first Pokemon League Competition. I would like others to weigh in on this issue.

I suggest the creation of (at least) 3 new articles: one for Clone Pokemon, one for the clone Pikachu, and one for the clone Meowth. The clone Pikachu and Meowth deserve their own pages because they have personalities and abilities distinct from their originals. A page on Clone Pokemon can refer to Pokemon created by Mewtwo and the his creators, as well as Fossil Pokemon. [[User:Legionaireb|Legionaireb]] 02:27, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

== Wrong information about removed scenes ==

I am pretty much sure that the scenes about Mewtwo's childhood, Amber etc weren't removed from the original movie, they rather didn't exist back then yet! The first movie aired in July 1998 in Japan, the prequel in September 1999 as a "radio drama" in Japan, later on as a short anime. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mewtwo#In_anime_and_related_media And that's what I also remember.
Maybe it's not important, maybe I'm just that interested in this because I highly hated the prequel.
Since til now I was only here to edit minor mistakes, preferably about German Names etc, I couldn't change it myself if my complaint proves itself to be correct.- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Aicona}} ([[User talk:Aicona|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Aicona|contribs]]) ''

The trivia in the article says "In the Danish version Brock says 'Jeg vidste ikke vikingerne stadig fantes.', and Ash replies 'Jo, men de turnere mest i Sverige.'". I have not seen the Danish dub, but if that is correct then that is most certainly a reference to the Swedish dansband [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikingarna_(band) Vikingarna]. I don't know if this is something that should be added to the article though.

== Togepi #152 ==

The article lists Togepi being listed as Pokémon #152 as an error.

I'm pretty sure back in those days, Pokémon and their numbers were meant to signify the order of their discovery as a '''live specimen.''' Which is why prehistoric Pokémon have higher numbers, & why Mewtwo is before Mew. It was also thrown around that the numbers was the order of their induction into being classified as a Pokémon. Plus both were a way around explaining why everyone in/on Pokémon games/anime/merchandise kept saying there were only 150 ('''known''') Pokémon.

I think at some point this numbering explanation has been forgotten/abandoned by most fans/official sources.

This movie also takes place before much of the structure to the Generation II and the Pokédex numbering in the games in general was laid down. So if anything, Togepi's number should be Trivia not a error. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 17:31, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:It stays as an error because if I remember correctly DVD release came out after the Generation II games were introduced in America. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 17:54, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
::Your theory about Pokédex numbers is incorrect... there'd be several exceptions if that were the case. First off, it is stated that Todd's photo of Aerodactyl was the first picture ever taken of it, implying that it had never been seen before then. However, Dratini was in an episode earlier in the series, and his number is higher than Aerodactyl's. Same thing with Snorlax. Also, the legendary birds... they were known to exist in the second episode. As for Mew... I'm pretty sure that she had been seen by at least someone in South America much earlier. Which brings up another point... who has to be the one seeing these Pokémon before adding them to the Pokédex? Could a South American native's sighting be enough or does it need to be a researcher? Also, Mewtwo was most likely never seen by anyone with that authority, since the only people who knew of him were the scientists who created him (who were all killed), Team Rocket (who wouldn't have reported his existance), or trainers like Gary who battled him (who wouldn't have the "authority" as a researcher of adding him), so he'd never have been added to the Pokédex (and in the anime, he wasn't shown to be). So yeah, that definitely wouldn't work if we're talking anime. If we're talking games, it still wouldn't work, since Mew gave birth to Mewtwo, meaning that the scientists must have had a living Mew before Mewtwo was around, and their sighting of Mew would have listed her in the Pokédex before Mewtwo. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:19, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

==Should this be noted?==
I read on dogasu.bulbagarden.net that in response to [[EP038]], there was a message before this movie saying that the movie had no flashing lights and it was safe to watch. Should it be noted here? [[User:JacobTheDoduo|JacobTheDoduo]] 23:17, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

==Possible incorrect Trivia / Errors==
- "''Despite numerous mentions and hints that Charizard, as well as its pre-evolution forms will die if the flame on their tail goes out; both the Charizard clone and Charmandertwo were submerged in liquid with no visible flame while in their incubation chambers.''"

I don't know about the Charmandertwo (I never saw the Mewtwo's Origin short), but I re-watched Mewtwo Strikes Back and the Charizard clone is never seen without a flame. This could be because my DVD is fullscreen and that part may have been cut off the edge of the screen, so I could be wrong here.

- "''This is the second time Ash dies and then comes back to life, the first being in The Tower of Terror.''"

I agree with this, although it's inconsistent with Bulbapedia's page for The Tower of Terror (which says Ash was knocked unconscious, not killed).

- "''In the beginning of the English dub of the feature film, Raymond's Machamp is shown coming out of the Poké Ball twice.''"

Was that just in the dub? Because if not, I don't think that's an error... it looked to me like an instant-replay (which is odd since that's not done ever, but it seems more like trivia than an error). But if it was only in the dub, then yeah, it's probably an error.

- "''Mewtwo is mistakenly colored a light blue instead of a light purple on the VHS and DVD cases.''"

I have the DVD and he's not blue. Part of him does look blue, but other parts of him are definitely purple. This is most likely just due to the printing, and not an error. Unless it was an error and they fixed it or something. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 21:31, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

== dub edit dispute ==

In the dub edits section it says they made Mewtwo into a stereotypical cold-hearted villain who just wanted world domination. BULL CRAP! Did whoever wrote that even watch the dub? Mewtwo felt betrayed due to the words and actions of Dr, Fuji and Giovanni. As such, he developed a general (and possibly racist) distrust of all humams, and thus wanted to purge the world of their influence by killing them all, as well as the pokemon who shamed themselves by submitting to the humans' will. Where in there does it say "I'm evil and i wanna rule the world"? I know 4Kids isn't the most reputable company, but at least give them ''some'' credit.

Karen pretends to shoot beams from her eyes, and she and Colin both jump and walk around on stage. Ryan then walks up to them and yells in a high-pitched, drawn-out voice, "Pikachu!" After Karen bobs over in front of Ryan like a {{wp|drinking bird}} for a moment, host {{wp|Drew Carey}} sounds the buzzer to freeze the players and change the style. Pokémon was also suggested by another audience member in a later episode's playing of the same game, but it was not used.

| However, Pokémon was used again for a different playing of the same game, even though no audience members were intelligibly heard making that suggestion. (Though on the other hand, ''anime'' was an audience suggestion.) {{wp|Kathy Greenwood}} is the fourth chair for this episode, joining Colin and Ryan in "Film, TV, & Theatre Styles". This was a different portraying of a Pokémon "style" in comparison to the playing in show #235. When Pokémon was used as the last style for this playing's scene, Colin shouts out, "Pikachu!" in a high-pitched voice this time instead of Ryan, causing the audience to burst out in laughter as he started walking around the stage. He then pretends to shock Ryan, who yells, "Ow!" in response and does his Charmander pose used in show #235. Colin turns around, shouts "Pikachu!" again, and walks to the other side of the small stage. He then turns back to Kathy and Ryan and sends more "{{m|ThunderShock|shocks}}" towards them, causing Kathy to hop a bit on every "shock" sent towards her. (It had no effect on "Charmander Ryan", who was looking way and continuing to do his pose.) Kathy maintained {{tt|her scene's character|Playing as the wife of 'Police Chief Colin'}} throughout the style, pretending to point a handgun at Colin.

He also awards 1,000 extra "{{tt|points|Since Whose Line is it Anyway? is a slight parody of game shows, the points are fake and irrelevant.

* In the Zelda series, the ''{{zw|Keaton}} Mask'' introduced in ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time}}'' bears a strong resemblance to Pikachu. It is mentioned in the game that Keaton "has been really popular lately", the game was released in 1998 when the fad level of Pokémon was still sharply on the rise. The item returned in ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask}}'' where wearing it in certain areas would lead to ''{{zw|Keaton}}'' himself appearing, though this version of the character was revealed to be a {{wp|kitsune}}. The mask also has a background cameo in ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker}}''.

* In ''{{smw|Super Mario Galaxy}}'', there is a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped planet in the {{smw|Buoy Base Galaxy}}. Inside it is a {{smw|Power Star}}, which is needed to finish the level, possibly a reference to the Poké Ball's importance in the [[Pokémon games]].

* In {{wp|List of The Simpsons comics|''The Simpsons'' Comics}}, there is a story called ''An Anime Among Us'', in which Bart has a dream sequence which contains numerous references to Japanese traditional and popular culture, including anime such as ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}'' and Pokémon. The most prominent references to Pokémon are Bart dressed like [[Ash Ketchum]], a Pocket Goblins (Pockegob) Trainer, and {{wp|Santa's Little Helper}} is a reference to Pikachu (Santa-choo). Bart fights against a trio from "Team Sprocket", with {{wp|Bart's Girlfriend|Jessica Lovejoy}} appearing as [[Jessie]], {{wp|Nelson Muntz}} appearing as [[James]], and {{wp|Martin Prince}} in a {{MTR}} costume (Cat Scratch-eth). This story is available in Bart Simpson Comics issue #12 as well as the collection book ''Big Bratty Book of Bart Simpson''.
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* {{wp|Zbtb7}}, a gene that discovered by a geneticist from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York City, was originally named "Pokemon", stands for "POK erythroid myeloid ontogenic factor".
* ''{{wp|Homestar Runner}}'' has made [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Pikachu a number of references to the series], usually playing on Pikachu's similar appearance to the character of The Cheat. In particular, Pikachu appears on screen during "[http://www.homestarrunner.com/cheatvideo.html The Cheat Theme Song]," when the lyrics are "Who's the man that looks like The Cheat?"
* Parts of the insert song in [http://filmcow.com/charlietheunicorn3.html part three] of the popular flash cartoon series ''{{wp|Charlie the Unicorn}}'' bear resemblance to the original [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]].
* In the book ''Babymouse: Cupcake Tycoon'', Pikachu is one of the many "people" seen watching an interview.

== Hollow Electrode? ==

Should the image at this location be added to the page:
http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv303/TomasOMeachair/1285947619049.jpg?t=1285955988

(uploading onto Bulbagarden Archives is restricted to admins at the time of writing)

I'm unsure as to the source of the image, other than my finding it on an imageboard, but it seems at least semi-official and could be worth mentioning in the article - Electrode certainly seems to be light enough for it being hollow to be possible, and hence worth mentioning.

The consequences of this for what constitutes a Pokémon could also be worth mentioning - Pokémon aren't necessarily organic in the same way animals are, and so shouldn't be treated as such from a categorisation and documentation point-of-view, maybe? [[User:TomasOMeachair|TomasOMeachair]] 18:17, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
:That's official? If so, then I think it would be appropriate, in either the Physiology or Trivia section. Ask an admin to upload that to the archives. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 20:33, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

::Posted on an admin page. Now we play the waiting game [[User:TomasOMeachair|TomasOMeachair]] 19:46, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

== Worth noting? ==

Do you think it's worth noting in the trivia that Electrode can learn both Electro Ball and Gyro Ball via level up even though they have opposite effects? [[User:FrankTheTank000|FrankTheTank000]] 23:45, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

== Reaching Trivia ==

This is gonna be silly, just to warn you all:

In an episode of Aeon Flux, "Thanatophobia," the show starts with Aeon singing a silly little song, as she plants bombs. These bombs are orbs, they are dark on the bottom half, slightly lighter on the top half. On the front in ebtween the two sides is a circle, with a smaller circle inside it. These bombs sproud legs, walk to a place, and then set their fuse. Aeon launches five of them.

If I didnt know better, Id say she was firing Electrodes. And it was good she kept her last pokemon so she didnt white out.

I know how bizarre and reaching this is, obviously, but then it wouldnt be trivia if it werent trivial! [http://www.mtv.com/videos/aeon-flux-thanatophobia/1565602/playlist.jhtml Its a minute or so in.] MTV wont let me link timestamped videos sadly.

'''Kyurem''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュレム''' ''Kyurem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ice}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

Kyurem is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon.

Kyurem is the third member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region. It is currently the final officially-revealed Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kyurem is a gray and blue colored, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconian basis. Kyurem has a unique blue head and snout and has yellow eyes without pupils, has a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head and a yellow crest on its skull. Its face has a slight resemblance to {{p|Giratina}} right down to its jaws. Kyurem's neck is long and gray in color with lines running around its whole body, legs, arms and tail. Kyurem has two arms, each with its own claw and each arm is jointed together from its blue oddly shaped wings, believed to be used for flying as well as storing cold air. Each of its wings are oddly proportioned and have two spikes of ice each. Its legs are somewhat slender unlike {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}} and its tail has three blue icicle-shaped spikes on its tip. Like its fellow members of the Tao Trio, its tail appears to be some sort of propulsion device, but what it's based off of is unknown. The right side of its body seems to be damaged in some way, as the wing and horn on its head on that side are shorter. The right side of its head (visible in the Dream World Art and [[Pokédex 3D]]) also has a spiked edge near its jaw hinge that is absent from its left.

====Gender differences====
Kyurem is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Kyurem can store powerful cold air onto its wings and tail and breathe with it, but it will also freeze itself in the process. It can unleash several {{m|Blizzard|blizzards}} and {{m|Hail|hailstorms}} and also can freeze its surroundings in a flash, referencing to its [[signature move]], {{m|Glaciate}}.

===Behavior===
Due to the old legend, it may be assumed Kyurem may be hostile towards Pokémon and humans, due to the fact it ate them.

===Habitat===
Kyurem is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]]. However, one resides in the [[Giant Chasm]], in the Unova region.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
An old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]] describing Kyurem claims that it would take people and Pokémon away from the town and eat them. It is unknown how much credence there is to this story, however.

==In the anime==
Kyurem will appear in the [[M15|fifteenth]] [[Pokémon movie]] alongside {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}} and {{p|Virizion}}.

==Trivia==

* No other Pokémon has the same [[elemental type|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Kyurem.
** Kyurem is the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon introduced in Generation V which isn't pure Ice-type.
* Kyurem has the highest base stat total of all Ice-type Pokémon.
** Kyurem also has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Ice}} Pokémon, tied with {{p|Mamoswine}} and {{p|Glaceon}}, respectively.
* Kyurem is the tallest Ice-type Pokémon.
* Despite its Pokédex entries saying that it can emit cold air and is frozen, it can not learn {{m|Frost Breath}}, nor can it be frozen by any move besides {{m|Tri Attack}} and {{m|Secret Power}}.
* Unlike most Pokémon with no evolutionary relatives, Kyurem can learn a move ({{m|Imprison}}) twice with neither instance being at level 1.
* Kyurem is both the last {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Kyurem is the only Pokémon that has a base stat total of 660.
* Kyurem is the only [[Generation V]] Ice-type Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}.


===Origin===
Kyurem and its two counterparts {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Kyurem, however, symbolizes {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, the absence of yin and yang. In regards to overall design, it appears to be based on a {{wp|theropod}} and a {{wp|European dragon}}, similar to Zekrom. Kyurem's type, {{t|Ice}}, may allude to the absence of energy and the concept of {{wp|absolute zero}}. Kyurem's rock-like body and its origin story of arriving on Earth like a meteor are references to comets, which are largely composed of ice crystals.

Given that its Japanese name contains mu, it may be based on the {{wp|koan}} {{wp|Mu (negative)|mu}}. In the koan, a monk was asked a theological question regarding enlightenment. He answered with a word "mu". The meaning of answer was that both of the answers were at the same time right and wrong; the tale's moral is that categorical thinking is wrong.

Kyurem may also be based on a {{wp|zombie}} due to its facial appearance. Some fans speculate that this Pokémon is the reanimated corpse of the original dragon told in Unova myth after it had spilt into {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}.

====Name origin====
Kyurem's name may be derived from 急冷 ''kyuurei'' (rapid cooling, 冷 ''rei'' meaning "cold") or ゆき ''yuki'' (雪, snow) with the {{wp|kana}} reversed. May also be from 零 ''rei'' (zero) and 無 ''{{wp|Mu (negative)|mu}}'' (nothing). The 'rem' in Kyurem appears to mimic the -rom of {{p|Zekrom}} and the -ram of {{p|Reshiram}}.

Team Rocket Elite Trio

2011-02-18T22:51:27Z

Morgil27:

{{incomplete}}
{{cleanup}}
[[File:TeamRocketElites.png|thumb|230px|The Team Rocket Elite Trio]]
The '''Team Rocket Elite Trio''', individually known as '''Ken''' (Japanese: '''ケン''' ''Ken''), '''Ryu''' (Japanese: '''リョウ''' ''Ryō''), and '''Harry''' (Japanese: '''ハリー''' ''Harry''), are [[Team Rocket]] members who appear in the the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga as part of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and {{chap|Yellow}} storylines under [[Giovanni]], and in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} storyline under the [[Masked Man]].

In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Yellow}}, they were all sub-leaders. Ken was under the command of [[Lt. Surge]], Ryu was under the command of [[Sabrina]], and Harry was under the command of [[Koga]]. They played no real role in this chapter, as they were merley subordinates whose most important appearance was as minions who tried to capture {{p|Mew}}.

They first appeared facing off against {{adv|Yellow}} on the S.S. Anne, trying to sink it as Team Rocket's return to the criminal scene, and as revealed by Surge later in the chapter, a ploy to lure the [[Elite Four]] out of hiding. They named themselves the new heads of the Team Rocket squads with Sabrina, Koga, and Lt. Surge now out of commission, but they were proven to be much weaker than the initial admins and were outsmarted by Yellow, who used many different tactics to trap them and save the passengers. They were then tied up by [[Kitty|Caterpie]]'s {{m|String Shot}} and presumably taken to jail.

In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the Team Rocket Elite Trio and other Rockets were brainwashed under the control of the [[Masked Man]], where they were used for several different schemes, but were defeated on every occasion. The final time they appeared was when they were involved in the attack on [[Indigo Plateau]] during the Gym leader tournament and fought the Gym leaders onboard the Magnet Train. There they met one of their former leaders, Lt. Surge, who after being attacked by them, helped them break free of the Masked Man's control by reminding them of the what they originally stood for. Much later, in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, it was revealed that the three were put in charge of transporting {{adv|Deoxys|the two Deoxys}} to their hideout after they had been stolen from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. However, as always, they wouldn't go without a colossal blunder when Entity Two escaped the yoke after rampaging madly, and [[Sird]] herself mutters that it was foolish to trust them.

Team Rocket Elite Trio

Morgil27: Ryu is his name in Viz's English version

{{incomplete}}
{{cleanup}}
[[File:TeamRocketElites.png|thumb|230px|The Team Rocket Elite Trio]]
The '''Team Rocket Elite Trio''', individually known as '''Ken''' (Japanese: '''ケン''' ''Ken''), '''Ryu''' (Japanese: '''リョウ''' ''Ryō''), and '''Harry''' (Japanese: '''ハリー''' ''Harry''), are [[Team Rocket]] members who appear in the the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga as part of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and {{chap|Yellow}} storylines under [[Giovanni]], and in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} storyline under the [[Masked Man]].

In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Yellow}}, they were all sub-leaders. Ken was under the command of [[Lt. Surge]], Al was under the command of [[Sabrina]], and Harry was under the command of [[Koga]]. They played no real role in this chapter, as they were merley subordinates whose most important appearance was as minions who tried to capture {{p|Mew}}.

They first appeared facing off against {{adv|Yellow}} on the S.S. Anne, trying to sink it as Team Rocket's return to the criminal scene, and as revealed by Surge later in the chapter, a ploy to lure the [[Elite Four]] out of hiding. They named themselves the new heads of the Team Rocket squads with Sabrina, Koga, and Lt. Surge now out of commission, but they were proven to be much weaker than the initial admins and were outsmarted by Yellow, who used many different tactics to trap them and save the passengers. They were then tied up by [[Kitty|Caterpie]]'s {{m|String Shot}} and presumably taken to jail.

In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the Team Rocket Elite Trio and other Rockets were brainwashed under the control of the [[Masked Man]], where they were used for several different schemes, but were defeated on every occasion. The final time they appeared was when they were involved in the attack on [[Indigo Plateau]] during the Gym leader tournament and fought the Gym leaders onboard the Magnet Train. There they met one of their former leaders, Lt. Surge, who after being attacked by them, helped them break free of the Masked Man's control by reminding them of the what they originally stood for. Much later, in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, it was revealed that the three were put in charge of transporting {{adv|Deoxys|the two Deoxys}} to their hideout after they had been stolen from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. However, as always, they wouldn't go without a colossal blunder when Entity Two escaped the yoke after rampaging madly, and [[Sird]] herself mutters that it was foolish to trust them.

== Nicknames? ==

Chuang Yi's Translations of Pokémon Special use nicknames for Red's Pokémon (Pika, Poli, Saur, Lax, Aero & Gyara). Same goes for Blue's Pokémon (Blasty, Unnamed Jiglypuff, Ditty, Clefy & Nidory). Should we use those nicknames in articles?
:yeah its fine Unsigned comment by {{u|Sonicflames}}.
::We should also add Poli's, since it was his starter Pokémon.... [[User:ht14|ht14]] 21:14 (GMT) 8 February 2008
I'm not sure about the original Viz Versions, but i'm pretty sure the new editions use the nicknames. [[User:Morgil27|Morgil27]] 04:05, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Viridian Forest

'''Viridian Forest''' (Japanese: '''トキワのもり''' ''Tokiwa Forest'') is a forest which lies between [[Viridian City]] and [[Pewter City]] in the middle of {{rt|2|Kanto}} with both the north and south entrances of Viridian Forest open to the route. The deep and sprawling forest is said to be a natural maze as many people get lost inside. The trees in the forest are so thick that little light gets in, and because of this the forest is full of {{t|Bug}}- and {{type2|Flying}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}} that attract [[Bug Catcher]]s and other Trainers.

In [[Generation II]], Viridian Forest no longer exists as a standalone area and has been replaced with a maze of standard trees, containing items and [[Berry]] trees, which is now a part of Route 2. The maze forms roughly the same design as before and the items are placed similarly to those located in Generations I and III. However, in the [[Generation IV]] remakes, the forest is re-expanded into the state of an actual dungeon, with five Trainers added, and with Pokémon similar to that of Pokémon Yellow.

==Geography==
[[File:FL Viridian Forest.png|thumb|Eyecatch of Viridian Forest from [[Generation III]]]]
Viridian Forest is a deep and sprawling woodland expanding across {{rt|2|Kanto}} reaching to [[Pewter City]] in the north and to [[Viridian City]] in the south, giving the forest its name. The trees in this area have grown so dense that light has trouble getting through, and because of this the forest seems dark and gloomy. The path across to each terminus winds its way around the dense layers of trees, creating a giant labyrinth many liken to a natural maze, as many people get lost inside. The entrance to the forest seems to be light and airy: the trees are not as thick and sunlight is able to get in fine. The trees stand tall and the grass appears to be long and unmaintained, while trees in the distance appear to be shadowed.

Because of its dark and shady environment, Viridian Forest hosts a large array of different {{type2|bug}} Pokémon. They are not particularly powerful, but they will cause [[status ailment]]s such as paralysis and poison. It is advised from sign posts and even from other Trainers that Trainers should buy status ailment healing items such as [[Antidote]] and [[Parlyz Heal]] before entering the forest. Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Metapod}}, and {{p|Kakuna}} inhabit trees and [[tall grass]], allowing themselves to stay hidden from predators. Viridian Forest is also one of the locations where Trainers can seek wild {{p|Pikachu}} as well as under-leveled {{p|Pidgeotto}}, making the forest a very exclusive place to find Pokémon. [[Bug Catcher]]s, that own common bug Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}, come here in groups from Viridian and Pewter to battle and train.

==In other media==
===In the anime===
Viridian Forest appeared in multiple episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first shown in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', where {{Ash}} caught his first two {{obp|Pokémon|species}}: {{AP|Caterpie}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. {{Ash}} effortlessly catches the Caterpie by tossing a [[Poké Ball]] at in [[EP002|the last episode]]. Even before the celebrations for Ash catching his first Pokémon could start, he spots yet another Pokémon, a {{p|Pidgeotto}}. Ash uses his {{AP|Pikachu}}, knocking it out, and Ash easily makes his second capture. At the end of the episode, Caterpie starts covering itself with some fluids and becomes brighter and brighter. It then starts to grow, and finally, becomes a {{AP|Metapod}}!

The forest was also the setting of the [[EP004|following episode]], where it was the location of Ash's first proper trainer battle. Ash spots a {{p|Weedle}} and decides to catch it. He uses Pidgeotto against it, but a person dressed as a [[samurai]] arrives on scene. The {{pkmn2|wild}} Weedle escapes and the samurai rebukes Ash for it. The two then engage themselves in a Pokémon battle. Suddenly, a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} arrive and lift Ash's Metapod away. The samurai takes Ash, Misty and their other Pokémon to a safe place. The next day, the group start their search for Metapod. They soon find it on a tree among many {{p|Kakuna}}. Ash joyously goes to Metapod to take him back in his team and it soon evolves into a {{AP|Butterfree}}.

Later in the series, Ash released his {{AP|Pidgeot}} here in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]''. As the gang leave through the Viridian Forest, Ash and his friends are attacked by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. The flock’s leader is a {{p|Fearow}}, which apparently [[Evolution|evolved]] from the Spearow that Ash hit with a rock on [[EP001|the first day of his journey]]. Ash climbs a tree to escape and finds Team Rocket with a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} who are in a turf war with the flock of Spearow. Ash sends out {{p|Pidgeotto}} to lead the Pidgey flock against the Spearow flock. In the course of the battle, Ash’s Pidgeotto evolves into a {{AP|Pidgeot}}. Pidgeot and Pikachu team up to defeat the Fearow and its gang. Ash then decides to {{pkmn2|released|leave}} Pidgeot in the forest to look after the Pidgey and Pidgeotto.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Many important people were born here, including [[Lance]], [[Giovanni]], and {{adv|Yellow}}. It is said that people born in Viridian Forest are given special powers. Lance and Yellow both share the power to heal {{obp|Pokémon|species}} using physical touch as well as to read the minds of Pokémon. Yellow can also move inanimate objects, namely [[Poké Ball]]s, as well as raise her Pokémon's [[Level|levels]] using the power of the Viridian Forest (although this power seems involuntary and temporary). Giovanni has yet to display any special powers.

The forest is first visited in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' ({{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}) by {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}. In their search for Pokémon, they encounter a wild {{p|Kangaskhan}} and its baby. Other Pokémon that appear in Viridian Forest are {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Dratini}} (origin unknown, but definitely not from Viridian Forest), {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Weezing}} (brought by Giovanni), and {{p|Mew}}.

==Trivia==
* In {{g|Pinball}}, Viridian Forest appears on the Red and Blue tables; catchable {{obp|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Pikachu}}.
* In {{game|Yellow}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, wild {{p|Pidgeotto}} can be found in the forest, most likely to represent [[Ash's Pidgeotto|the events of the anime]]. Interestingly, they are [[level]] 9 and 7; normally {{p|Pidgey}} evolves at level 18. This could explain from where [[Falkner]] got his underleveled Pidgeotto.
* Despite the fact that the forest returns as a standalone area in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the music is a remix of the {{rt|2|Kanto}} theme from [[Generation II]].
**However, Generation II's Route 2 music was in itself a remix of the original Viridian Forest music.

== Bug Catcher ==

Does anyone else agree that Samurai may be based on a Bug Catcher (and that it's worth mentioning in the article)? --[[User:Johans|Johans Nidorino]] 17:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
:I think it would be worth mention that since in the game the forest is filled with Bug Cathers that it should be mentioned that Samurai might have originally been based off of one. -Lord Hyren 20:11, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

== Usage of word "crap" ==

[[User:Zelrio|Zelrio]] Should it be noted that this is the only episode which uses a somewhat-racy word (I don't recall any other episode having the word "Crap" in it, not even the less kid-orientated first two seasons). {{unsigned|Zelrio}}

:When does anybody say crap? '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 02:49, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
::[[User:Zelrio|Zelrio]] In the cabin, Ash says "enough of that novice crap" in response to Samurai referring to him as a novice. {{unsigned|Zelrio}}

:::I recall the word "crack" in that location, both in the audio and the closed captioning. The DVD subtitles may be different, but in this case, I highly doubt it...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:59, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

::::I'm taking that you are referring to {{u|Sunain}}'s recent fansub of the episode. First of all, fansubs are unreliable when it comes to certain words. The word Ash used for "crap" most likely means other things in Japanese. It was just one person's interpretation of the word. Therefore this is unnotable.

::::Besides, there was something a lot more heavy said in the Japanese version of [[EP014]]. Lt. Surge says "God Damn!". He said the English word so there is no issue on translations.

::::Also, that's not how you sign comments. You sign with the four tildes <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. And it goes at the '''end''' of your comment. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

:::::[[User:Zelrio|Zelrio]] Ignoring the abuse of power by Kenji-girl, I was referring to the English dub when I said " it is the only episode with a racy word." Obviously, the dub is more strict on this kind of crap. {{unsigned|Zelrio}}

::::::Abuse? I only protected for like a minute so I can hopefully get an answer to you without being conflicted a million times. Anyway There's no way the dub said crap. And you're still not signing your comments properly. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:24, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

:::::::Putting the usual complaint against admins abusing power aside, the dub never said crap. Pokémon never would have survived this long. It barely survived the first season if you hadn't noticed. And seriously. Go watch the episode if you really think he said crap. It'd be more productive than getting into an argument.
